i mean , what did she say to you the other day ? theresa : ethan only married you because you were pregnant with his child , and maybe that was n't right , you know ? maybe you made a sacrilege of marriage by taking ethan as your husband and , well , maybe god is punishing you for staying with ethan when your reason for being with him in the first place just was n't right . gwen : you know what ? you are so right . i mean , theresa is nothing but a self- serving little wolf in sheep 's clothing . everyone thinks she 's so sweet and she 's so good when she 's the exact opposite . you know what ?

even though rebecca started it . and gwen picked up where she left off -- it was her fault . ethan : theresa , you just -- you just do n't learn . luis : hold on a second . just hold on -- i 've got an idea . i 'll just go to sheridan . i 'll ask her for the money and we can get out of this whole damn mess . pilar : luis , please be careful . you know how upset antonio is with you . luis : you know what ?

i mean , what did she say to you the other day ? theresa : ethan only married you because you were pregnant with his child , and maybe that was n't right , you know ? maybe you made a sacrilege of marriage by taking ethan as your husband and , well , maybe god is punishing you for staying with ethan when your reason for being with him in the first place just was n't right . gwen : you know what ? you are so right . i mean , theresa is nothing but a self- serving little wolf in sheep 's clothing . everyone thinks she 's so sweet and she 's so good when she 's the exact opposite . you know what ?

[ computer keys clacking ] ashley : ah ! jack : you thought the job was gon na be easy ? ashley : [ sighs ] well , it would be if i had internet service . jack : oh ? computers are down ? ashley : yep , the entire system since last night 's power outage . jack : wow . how do you think that happened ? ashley : nothing official yet , but i 'm assuming it 's from the storm . jack : well , maybe you should call i.t . ashley : gee , thanks , jack . i had n't thought about that . jack : i 'm just trying to help . ashley : i got your note . it was very sweet . thank you . i 've got everything handled . jack : i 'm not here to check up on you , sis . ashley : then why are you here ? jack : i 'm here to tell you i made a deal with the devil . ashley : please do n't tell me that the devil 's name is victor . joe : phyllis , i 'm glad we ran into each other . phyllis : that makes one of us . joe : you know , i was just curious how avery 's doing . i have n't heard from her since she left town . phyllis : well , you 're gon na have to get used to it 'cause you 're not gon na hear about her from me , either . joe : well , i was just wondering how she 's doing . phyllis : i 'm not discussing my sister with you . but i do have one question . why are you still here ? joe : glutton for punishment . phyllis : in genoa city . you followed avery here . she 's gone . why are n't you ? cane : and you 're sure the team you put together is good , right ? they 've conducted searches like this all over the world and had great success . cane : yeah ? well , not in this case . we 've scoured every inch of this island . there is no sign of mrs. hamilton . other than the shoe the police recovered , nothing else has turned up . cane : yeah , and i read your report . nothing in the water , nothing washed up on the beach , and there 's no sign that she left the island by either air or sea . it 's like she vanished into thin air . cane : well , that 's impossible , so she has to be here somewhere . do you want us to continue looking ? cane : i promised my brother - in - law that i would find his wife and that i would clear his name . and i will not leave this island until i do that . what next , then ? cane : okay . all right , i 've already put this up on some social - media sites . what i need you to do is take these and canvass the island with them , okay ? it does n't say how much the reward is . cane : we 're still working on that . michael : offering a reward could motivate an honest person to come forward . devon : so what 's the problem ? michael : the amount . it could draw out a lot of less - than - honest people . devon : i do n't care . michael : false leads could send your investigators in all the wrong directions . if you offered less , devon ... devon : the reward is $ 1 million , michael . michael : devon -- devon : if that does n't work , i 'll push it to $ 10 million or $ 100 million . i do n't care . i will give every penny that i have to anyone that has information about where hilary is . neil : you 've been sleeping peacefully ? i know that i have . yeah . for the first time in months , i 've been able to sleep without waking up to all the pain and hurt that you and devon caused me . [ sighs ] payback is a powerful medicine , hilary . devon : the reporter that i spoke to the other day asked if i had any more pictures of hilary , 'cause all we 've been using is the ones from the , uh , the reward poster , and they thought if they had more shots that it 'd make it easier for people to recognize her . lily : yeah , i have , uh , wedding pics on my laptop . i can forward them to you . devon : thank you . i appreciate that . lily : we 're gon na find her . devon : i know . wherever she is or whatever 's happened to her , i know that she knows how much i love her and how hard i 'm working to bring her home , just like i know that she 's doing everything she can to get back to me . neil : yeah , hilary . i always tried to take care of you like a good husband . i showered you with all the love that i could . i tried to make all your wishes come true . that was n't enough for you . nothing was never enough for you . not because you fell in love with devon . no , no , no . no . it was n't ever about love . it was about you . who you are . huh . who you 've always been . the person to inflict pain on other people . that 's why you came to genoa city . because you wanted to get revenge on me . you wanted to hurt me and my family for what you thought i did to your mother . i never clearly understood that deep obsessive impulse to pay somebody back . i - i wanted -- i wanted to teach you that love has the power to heal . instead , you ended up teaching me that it has the power to destroy . phyllis : what ? you got no lie on the tip of your tongue ? you 're usually so good at that . like the one about you not following avery to genoa city . joe : i came here for business , and now it 's my home . phyllis : oh , is your hotel room here your home ? joe : i have friends here , and i 've established genoa city as a base of operations for my business . and bonus -- i do n't have any more restraining orders against me , so whether you like it or not , i 'm staying here . i was just asking about avery . phyllis : why , joe ? why do you want to know ? joe : because i care about her . phyllis : you care about your ex - wife who accused you of being a rapist ? joe : people make mistakes . that was hers . phyllis : avery 's biggest mistake was marrying you . joe : you know , i loved her . phyllis : no , you abused her . you controlled and manipulated her long after the divorce . see , you followed her to genoa city and you destroyed her relationship with dylan , and you forced her to have one with you . you pushed her over the edge , and i saw that for myself . so you may not be the one who attacked her , but she would have never been in that alley if it were n't for you . joe : you know what ? do n't put that on me . phyllis : i am blaming the monster who assaulted her . it was your fault that she left town . i lost my sister because of you . joe : you know , i may have been a lousy husband , but i 'm not to blame for all of avery 's problems , and i 'm sure as hell not responsible for why you lost your sister . that 's on you . ashley : i 'm right . you made a deal with victor . jack : it is not like before . ashley : what are you up to ? jack : we have merely agreed to coordinate our efforts . ashley : for what ? jack : to find out more about this paragon project and who 's behind it . ashley : we do n't even know if that 's a real thing . jack : victor believes it 's a real threat , and more and more , i think there 's a possibility that someone 's after his company and mine . ashley : you mean mine . jack : there will be nothing left of our family company if victor and i do n't outsmart our common enemy . ashley : wow . it took you one entire day . jack : what ? ashley : you leave me a really sweet note telling me how supportive you are of me , and then you go behind my back and make a deal with victor . jack : wait a minute . i have been totally up front with you . ashley : you made me c.e.o . let me run the damn company . jack : ash , this is not a power play . this is a real threat against the newmans and the abbotts . ashley : what did victor propose ? jack : i proposed that each of us work individually to ferret out what information we can about this mystery project and share what we 've learned . ashley : very nice . in theory . except what if victor makes a deal whoever 's the mastermind of paragon and then they bring down jabot together ? jack : i guess i 'll have to figure out who it is first . ashley : i do n't like the sound of this at all . jack : what ? me besting victor ? me finally coming out on top ? ashley : you want to square off with him again -- have at it , okay ? i 've got a business to run . jack : this is not a game , sis . ashley : whatever it is , jack , you got lots of time to do it , do n't you ? [ sighs ] thank heavens . i can finally get some work done ! jack : oh . good . transaction incomplete . what 's that ? ashley : jack . jack : i 'm just asking . ashley : [ sighs ] it 's a purchase order for packaging materials that was automatically scheduled for last night . jack : during the blackout . wow . i guess you 'll have to submit it again . ashley : `` wow `` is right . i placed this order , but then i got another bid from another company for 30 % less . and since this transaction was canceled , i 've saved the company about $ 2 million . jack : you managed to turn the blackout to your advantage . ashley : yeah , i told you i 'd be good at this . jack : i never doubted that . ashley : thank you . i 've got to get going . i 've got a meeting at the club with a potential buyer , i hope , the biggest department store in finland . jack : ash ? good luck . ashley : good luck to you , too . call me if you need anything . jack : keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who might have an ax to grind with the abbotts . phyllis : get lost , joe . water , please . joe : what 's the matter , phyllis ? ca n't handle the truth ? phyllis : like you would know what that is . joe : well , i know you just up and left your kid sister with your crappy parents , and that was well before i got in the picture . phyllis : avery and i worked through all that . she understood why i had to leave home and why i could n't take her with me . joe : well , i 'm sure that 's what she told you . but she was singing a different tune when she confided in me . the pain that you caused her , phyllis , was deep and lasting . you did n't lose your sister because of me . you lost avery because you suck at being a sister . phyllis : okay , i want you to listen to me , you arrogant piece of slime . the days of avery confiding in you are over . she confides in me now . and if she tells me you try to contact her at all by phone or you try to text her or you send her a message by carrier pigeon , i will make your life a living hell . you got it ? lily : what 's going on ? joe : oh , i was just asking phyllis about her sister , and i seemed to have , uh , ruffled her feathers a bit . lily : well , no offense , but i think that joe has as much right as anybody to know how avery 's doing . phyllis : i can not believe that you 're defending him . and i bet your husband would be just as appalled as i am . cane : $ 1 million is a lot of money , michael . calls will start pouring in . michael : i told devon that offering such a large sum could end up slowing down our search . we 'll waste a lot of time chasing down bad leads . cane : well , all we can do is follow the believable ones and , uh , hope for the best . michael : one could think offering such a huge reward could help us prove devon 's innocence . cane : how ? michael : well , he 's practically begging witnesses to come forward , and he 's not hiding it . those are not the actions of a guilty man . cane : i find it hard to believe the authorities are accusing him with so little evidence . michael : it 's not like it 's never happened . cane : what ? you think they know something they 're not saying ? michael : well , i 'm on my way to visit the prosecutor now . i 'll let you know what he says . cane : all right , well , i 'll keep on my search , okay ? michael : i will meet you back here . gentlemen . cane : you look worried . i 've been on many cases where someone is missing , whether it 's because of an accident or they got lost or just took themselves off the grid . in time , they turn up . but when there 's foul play , the person responsible makes sure they never turn up . they hide the body somewhere no one will ever find it . neil : you okay ? devon : i do n't know how much longer i can just sit in genoa city and not do anything . neil : you know if you go to virgin gorda , they 're gon na arrest you , right ? devon : i do know that . that 's the only thing stopping me from going there and burning the whole island down . neil : what you got there ? devon : i 'm just -- i 'm looking for new pictures of hilary to release to the press 'cause the reporter that i spoke to the other day said that it might help with finding hilary , so i 'm trying to pick the best one . neil : hmm . let me see that . [ clears throat ] yeah , yeah , that 's -- that 's a good one . where was that ? devon : that was at the empire state building . that was during the trip we were in new york together . neil : it 's okay . i already told you , uh , it 's all in the past , right ? [ sighs ] mm - hmm . i think you really should use that picture . it 's a very clear shot of her . she 's smiling . devon : yeah . neil : it 's kind of surprising , though . she 's 1,200 feet up in the air and she 's deathly afraid of heights . devon : what do you mean , she 's afraid of heights ? neil : well , ever since she was a kid . she got stuck at the top of a ferris wheel . you know , totally freaked her out . she 's been terrified of heights ever since . yeah , that 's why i was kind of shocked you were able to convince her to take a helicopter ride and then a hike up the hill . devon : i should be arrested . neil : why ? devon : i 'll tell you why -- 'cause [ scoffs ] i 'm guilty . everything that happened to her in virgin gorda i 'm responsible for . michael : thanks for meeting with me . mr. donovan : well , i should warn you , i have more than enough evidence to prosecute mr. hamilton . michael : all circumstantial . you have no body . you have no proof that my client 's wife is even dead . mr. donovan : i have won many cases on far less evidence than i have in this one . michael : [ sighs ] i 've done my homework , mr. donovan . your laws here regarding disclosure are the same as we have in the states , so ... please disclose . mr. donovan : well , we know that mr. hamilton sent his wife on a hike and that someone canceled her scheduled tour guide , which created an opportunity for him to be alone with her on the summit where a witness saw them arguing . michael : you have no proof that devon made that phone call , and the witness saw someone who looks like devon . mr. donovan : we 're confident a positive i.d . will be made once we have your client in a lineup . michael : even if you could prove your theoretical scenario , you have no motive . mr. donovan : i 've done my homework , too , mr. baldwin . i discovered that the accused and the victim -- michael : alleged victim . mr. donovan : ... cheated on her previous husband , mr. hamilton 's father . it 's possible she cheated on her new husband , too . michael : [ chuckles ] that is a complete work of fiction . you have no proof . mr. donovan : i know that the former hilary curtis is really ann turner and that she came to wisconsin to exact revenge on mr. hamilton 's whole family . perhaps she was n't done . michael : all right , that 's it . wait . that 's it . that 's your case ? you have nothing . pure speculation . mr. donovan : the shoe with mrs. hamilton 's blood on it is a fact . you 're right . a body would make this an open - and - shut case . but not having one is n't going to stop me from trying and convicting your client . michael : you 'd have to get him back here first . mr. donovan : ah , he ca n't fight extradition forever . michael : a couple million dollars says he can . mr. donovan : the best thing you can do for your client is to convince him to come back here and admit his guilt . devon : i 'm guilty , man ! neil : hey , hey . shh , shh , shh , shh . no , no , no , do n't you say that in a public place . you hear me ? devon : why not say it ? 'cause it 's the truth . i convinced hilary to go on that trail where she disappeared . she probably did n't want to go . she did it for me . neil : okay . devon : how could i not know my wife is afraid of heights ? neil : shh . calm down . it 's not your fault . devon : i 'm her husband . i 'm supposed to know those things . neil : maybe it 's over now . you know , obviously she 's been working on it because she went to the top of the empire state building and she took a ride in a helicopter , right ? devon : yeah , which she probably just did for me , too . this is just a lot of stuff that i did n't know about her . and i thought that i had a lifetime to learn it . neil : you do n't know that you wo n't . devon : i was willing to sacrifice everything to be with her -- my relationship with lily , my relationship with you . [ sighs ] neil : hey , listen . it 's all in the past , all right ? i 've forgiven you . i 'm here now . devon : i know you are . i know . and i honestly do n't know how i would be getting through any of this without you here . neil : i know . i know how much she means to you . i do . devon : i 'd give away every penny to have her back . everything . just the thought of her being out there and suffering , i do n't ... neil : hey . got to stay strong . devon : i 'm trying to stay strong . but the more time goes by , the harder that is . if i lose her ... neil : hey . hey , hey , hey . no , no , no . come here . no . joe : well , it 's hard to believe that those two are actually sisters . i mean , she 's complete opposite of avery , right ? truth , goodness . well , she was right about one thing . cane probably would n't appreciate you coming to my defense . lily : no , he probably would not . joe : you know , i 'm sorry for causing so much trouble between you two . lily : it 's fine , it 's fine . we 're working through it . joe : you two really seem to love each other . lily : yeah . we do . i think we 've learned that if love is gon na last , then you have to have trust . so do n't worry about me coming to your defense or anything . it 's not gon na cause any problems for cane and me . joe : well , it 's probably just a waste of your breath . i mean , it 's no secret phyllis hates me , and after , uh , alienating cane , you 're about the only one in this town that 's decent to me . lily : well , believe it or not , i think you 're a decent guy . joe : well , avery , i 'm sure would disagree . lily : hey , we 've all made mistakes in the name of love , right ? i mean , who has n't ? joe : and i wonder why you still see me that way . lily : well , maybe because i 'm a good judge of character . ashley : phyllis ! phyllis : ash , hi . ashley : i 'm so glad to see you . i want to talk to you . phyllis : as long as it 's not too stressful . i just had an amazing massage . ashley : good for you . it 's about the paragon project . you 've heard of it , right ? phyllis : yeah . crazy , imaginary plot to destroy the newmans , yeah . ashley : well , now victor has jack believing in it now . phyllis : jack ? jack , my husband , who 's supposed to be taking a break from business ? ashley : yeah , that lasted about five minutes . now he 's determined to find out who 's behind this paragon . he thinks it 's somebody that 's close to both families and possibly has a vendetta against jack or victor . you 're not listening to me . phyllis : i 'm sorry . i just had a little run - in with my sister 's ex earlier . he actually had the audacity to ask for information about her . he is so disgusting . you know , in a perfect world , he would be gone and avery would n't be . anyway , um , i 'm not quite sure why he is still in town . you 're friends with joe , are n't you ? ashley : well , we spent a little time together in new york . that 's all . phyllis : how well do you know him ? ashley : not that well . why ? phyllis : well , it 's just strange that he 's still here in town . it seems like he 's got a hidden agenda . ashley : well , if he did , why does that matter to you ? phyllis : could his hidden agenda be the paragon project ? ashley : why do you think joe would have a problem with the newmans and the abbotts ? phyllis : that warehouse redevelopment plan was very huge for him . he lost a lot of money when victor backed out of that . ashley : yeah . what about jack ? i mean , what would be his beef with jack ? phyllis : me . going after my husband would be a good way of getting back at me for turning avery against him . ashley : i think that 's a reach . phyllis : but the timing is right for all of this . he has enough resources to pull something like this off . ashley : i can look into it . phyllis : good . ashley : you know , or better yet , we could have victor and jack look into it since they 're reprising their roles as the dynamic duo . phyllis : what are you talking about ? ashley : [ sighs ] they 've made a deal , phyllis . they 're gon na start working together . can you bel -- phyllis . hey , uh , yeah , it 's ashley abbott . i have a meeting with mr. aderling . do you think we could postpone it just for an hour ? great . yeah . something 's come up . thanks so much . devon : i just have to keep it together . i have to focus and believe that michael and cane and the search and rescue team , they will -- they will find hilary and they will bring her back home . neil : there you go . i like this . you ca n't lose hope . devon : i 'm not gon na lose hope . if they could just find the man that she was arguing with . neil : yeah . well , that -- that could be anybody . um , have you thought about what you 're gon na do if something did happen to hilary ? devon : well , my priority would become making whoever 's responsible pay . michael : there is no way devon is going to plead guilty to a crime he did n't commit . mr. donovan : i 'm not asking him to . michael : mr. hamilton loved his wife . there 's no way he would hurt her . they just got married , for god sakes . mr. donovan : it would n't be the first time a bride was murdered on her honeymoon . michael : you do n't know these two . they fought enormous obstacles to be together . their relationship has withstood every challenge they faced . their wedding was one of the most romantic things i 've ever witnessed . there 's no reason for devon to be angry at hilary . in fact , there was ... mr. donovan : there 's a reason for her to be angry with him ? hmm . why would mrs. hamilton have been angry with her husband ? michael : i did n't say she was . devon is a good and decent man . he would n't hurt a fly , much less the woman he loves . mr. donovan : very moving , mr. baldwin . just remember juries may be moved by lovely words , but they 'll be convinced by the evidence . good day . [ door opens ] jimmy : you 're the man looking for a missing woman ? cane : yeah , that 's me . jimmy : i 've been calling your hotline . i ca n't get through . cane : you know something ? jimmy : i saw what happened . devon : thank you . lily : hey . did you get the pictures i sent ? devon : yeah , i did . thank you . lily : any news ? devon : yeah . my wife 's afraid of heights . lily : what ? devon : dad just told me that . lily : if she was afraid of heights , why did she go hiking up a mountain ? devon : because i 'm an idiot and i suggested that she go by herself even when she wanted to stay at the hotel with me . she was trying to tell me she did n't want to go . lily : come on , devon . you could n't have known that . you would n't have arranged it if she had n't said that she wanted to go . devon : well ... why would she keep a fear like that from me ? lily : maybe she was embarrassed . devon : i 'm the one that should be embarrassed . i made her go on the helicopter , and then i got sick . she could have told me then . she told neil about it . lily : is that what this is about ? the fact that dad knew something about her you did n't ? devon : no . i 'm just -- i 'm not thinking straight . i guess i 've had too much caffeine and not enough sleep . lily : look , i 'm sure dad did n't mean to upset you about hilary 's phobia . devon : i know he did n't . just -- i just forget sometimes how close they were before i came into the picture . lily : if i did n't know any better , i would think that you were jealous . cane : and you are sure that is what you saw ? jimmy : not the type of thing you forget . do i get the reward now ? cane : why do n't you write your name and your number on the back of this , please ? thanks . i 'll be in touch . do n't speak to anybody till you hear from me , you understand ? all right . thanks . michael : what was all that about ? cane : it looks like we may have found ourselves a credible witness . michael : what did he say ? cane : he said he saw a man on the rocks below the hiking trail where hilary went missing . michael : that 's all ? cane : the man picked her up and carried her off . and he looked a lot like the husband they 've been showing on television . michael : oh , and he just happened to conveniently remember this hours after devon offers $ 1 million for any information leading to hilary 's whereabouts ? really ? cane : he said the reason that he did n't report it earlier is he thought she was drunk , and , uh , you know , then he saw the flier , he went and checked on the news , so he came and saw me , so ... michael : [ sighs ] still sounds very convenient . cane : michael , he was very sincere . michael : whether or not he 's telling the truth , this is exactly the kind of information the prosecutor is looking for , someone placing devon at the scene of the crime and conveniently coincidentally carrying off a body . cane : i understand that , but the head of the search team said if hilary was killed , the murderer would most likely dispose of the body . michael : is that why he thinks we ca n't find her ? cane : he thinks it 's very possible , yeah . michael : well , it 's looking more and more like he might be right . cane : what do you want to do ? michael : for starters , make sure nobody hears about this for now . phyllis : how could you ? jack : how could -- you talked to ashley . i was going to tell you when the time was right . phyllis : really ? when is the right time to tell me you made a deal with victor ? jack : i know you 're upset . phyllis : oh , i am a million miles past upset . jack : could i please explain ? phyllis : you came this close to telling the police that you were kidnapped by victor and replaced by a murdering drug lord ! jack : that 's right . and you convinced me not to . phyllis : because i did n't want to lose you . not because i was trying to protect victor . the man shot you . have you forgotten all of that ? jack : i have not forgotten a single thing that man did . to me or you . phyllis : so , what ? you 're teaming up with him ? jack : no . i was kept away from my family for months . i could n't do a thing to change what was happening in genoa city . i could n't do a damn thing to protect the people i love ! phyllis : none of that was your fault ! jack : no one is going to threaten my family again . phyllis : okay , the only threat here is victor . jack : no , you 're wrong . this paragon project is a real thing . phyllis : because victor said so ? jack : no . because of the lengths victor went to with marco , risking going to jail himself . it had to have been a credible threat . phyllis : so you 're gon na team up with victor to destroy a common enemy . jack : yes . that 's the plan . phyllis : what if in the process you lose everything you 're trying to protect ? ashley : hi . do you mind if i join you ? joe : well , i 'm surprised you 'd want to after speaking with phyllis . i 'm sure she gave you an unbiased opinion of me . ashley : well , she 's not your biggest fan . but he did say that you 've got pretty eyes . no , really . do n't take my sister - in - law too seriously . she can be very ... joe : screaming banshee ? ashley : no . judgmental . joe : well , i can handle that . i 've been the town 's punching bag since i got here . ashley : aww . why are you still here ? joe : you know , phyllis asked me that same question . ashley : really ? well , it is a legitimate question . you do n't have any family here . no ties to the community . you said yourself you got a lot of haters , so ... why stick around ? joe : well , i still have business here . jack : i know you have good reason not to believe that i can protect you . i 'm asking you to trust me . phyllis : i do . jack : then trust me when i tell you no one in my family is gon na get hurt again . phyllis : when victor is involved , somebody always gets hurts . jack : no one knows better than i do what victor 's schemes cost innocent people . i lost months with you . i 'll never get them back . i 'm not going to lose another minute . that 's why i took a sabbatical from jabot . phyllis : step away from it all , jack . i am begging you . jack : i 'm sorry . i ca n't do that . not as long as someone is plotting to ruin our happiness . phyllis : there is not some phantom enemy out there getting in the way of our happiness . it is victor . he is the one coming between us . ashley : what kind of business is keeping you in town ? another real estate deal ? joe : amongst other things . you know , i still head up the better days foundation . ashley : oh , i know . i just got your latest newsletter . you 're doing such a great job . but i peeked at the financials . you 're not pulling a salary . joe : no , strictly pro bono . ashley : oh . admirable . kind of hard to pay the bills , though , right ? joe : yeah , well , i get by . ashley : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . i mean , it 's hard for me to figure out who would be doing business with you . i mean , you said yourself you 've got issues with half the town , right ? dylan , phyllis , victor . i mean , when that development deal fell through , that was pretty harsh . joe : ah . water under the bridge . ashley : come on , joe . you got burned when victor backed out . you know you did . joe : yeah , but i made out all right . ashley : yeah ? so you 're working on another job ? i mean , project ? come on . what is it ? joe : well , i do n't want to bore you with the details . ashley : no , no , no , you 're not boring me . come on . joe : maybe later . i got to run . always good to see you , ash . cane : i 'm not gon na say anything . you know that . but what about this guy who gave us the tip ? michael : well , if he wants the reward money , he 's probably not going to go shooting off his mouth . cane : yeah ? well , i guess we 'll have to hope he keeps his mouth shut . hey . you do n't think that , um ... michael : what ? that he was telling the truth ? that devon was carrying hilary 's dead body ? no , i do n't . i ca n't believe that . cane : you know we have to know for sure , right ? michael : well , say if devon were guilty , if we asked him , he 's not gon na tell us the truth . cane : which means we need someone who can help us . here . devon : why would i be jealous of neil ? she left him to marry me . she 's my wife . [ cell phone rings ] lily : ooh , it 's cane . hi . cane : hey . um , is devon there with you ? lily : yeah , he 's right here . you want to talk to him ? cane : no ! no , no . do n't tell him anything i 'm gon na say to you , okay ? lily : uh , yeah , that should be fine . cane : all right , now , if he 's looking at you , just you got to stay cool . lily : um , yeah , i - i can hear you . devon : what 'd he say ? is there any news ? cane : we have a witness that may have seen hilary after she fell . lily : okay . cane : and the woman he saw was unconscious . and she was carried off by a man who matches devon 's description . neil : ooh . devon is really worried about you . it 's killing him not knowing where you are . he really loves you . i do n't know . i - i really should n't feel bad for him . i loved you , too . i really did . you broke my heart . you made me do this . you really did . devon is blaming himself . and he really should because he 's partly responsible for putting you right here in this bed hooked up to this ... this is empty . no . no ! no ! no , no , no , no , no , no , no . do n't you die on me . hilary ! [ next_on ] devon : i do n't know how i 'm supposed to convince a jury of my innocence when my sister and my own damn lawyer think that i 'm a murderer . chelsea : your father used my son to blackmail gabe and me into staying in town . ashley : if the paragon project exists , i have an idea of who 's behind it . | ashley and phyllis are both angry at jack for teaming up with victor again to find out who is behind the paragon project , but jack tells them both that he will do what he has to do to protect his family . phyllis suspects that joe could be involved in the paragon project to get revenge on victor for costing him money on the redevelopment project . ashley uses her charm to question joe about why he is still in town and he tells her he still has business . cane and michael are in virgin gorda to search for hilary and a witness comes forward after devon offers a million dollar reward for information leading to hilary 's safe return . the witness tells cane that he saw a man who looked like the picture they have been showing on the tv of hilary 's husband carrying her off the mountain . michael tells cane to keep the information quiet until they can investigate further , but michael fears that devon is starting to look guilty of hilary 's murder . | <s>[INST] [ computer keys clacking ] ashley : ah ! jack : you thought the job was gon na be easy ? ashley : [ sighs ] well , it would be if i had internet service . jack : oh ? computers are down ? ashley : yep , the entire system since last night 's power outage . jack : wow . how do you think that happened ? ashley : nothing official yet , but i 'm assuming it 's from the storm . jack : well , maybe you should call i.t . ashley : gee , thanks , jack . i had n't thought about that . jack : i 'm just trying to help . ashley : i got your note . it was very sweet . thank you . i 've got everything handled . jack : i 'm not here to check up on you , sis . ashley : then why are you here ? jack : i 'm here to tell you i made a deal with the devil . ashley : please do n't tell me that the devil 's name is victor . joe : phyllis , i 'm glad we ran into each other . phyllis : that makes one of us . joe : you know , i was just curious how avery 's doing . i have n't heard from her since she left town . phyllis : well , you 're gon na have to get used to it 'cause you 're not gon na hear about her from me , either . joe : well , i was just wondering how she 's doing . phyllis : i 'm not discussing my sister with you . but i do have one question . why are you still here ? joe : glutton for punishment . phyllis : in genoa city . you followed avery here . she 's gone . why are n't you ? cane : and you 're sure the team you put together is good , right ? they 've conducted searches like this all over the world and had great success . cane : yeah ? well , not in this case . we 've scoured every inch of this island . there is no sign of mrs. hamilton . other than the shoe the police recovered , nothing else has turned up . cane : yeah , and i read your report . nothing in the water , nothing washed up on the beach , and there 's no sign that she left the island by either air or sea . it 's like she vanished into thin air . cane : well , that 's impossible , so she has to be here somewhere . do you want us to continue looking ? cane : i promised my brother - in - law that i would find his wife and that i would clear his name . and i will not leave this island until i do that . what next , then ? cane : okay . all right , i 've already put this up on some social - media sites . what i need you to do is take these and canvass the island with them , okay ? it does n't say how much the reward is . cane : we 're still working on that . michael : offering a reward could motivate an honest person to come forward . devon : so what 's the problem ? michael : the amount . it could draw out a lot of less - than - honest people . devon : i do n't care . michael : false leads could send your investigators in all the wrong directions . if you offered less , devon ... devon : the reward is $ 1 million , michael . michael : devon -- devon : if that does n't work , i 'll push it to $ 10 million or $ 100 million . i do n't care . i will give every penny that i have to anyone that has information about where hilary is . neil : you 've been sleeping peacefully ? i know that i have . yeah . for the first time in months , i 've been able to sleep without waking up to all the pain and hurt that you and devon caused me . [ sighs ] payback is a powerful medicine , hilary . devon : the reporter that i spoke to the other day asked if i had any more pictures of hilary , 'cause all we 've been using is the ones from the , uh , the reward poster , and they thought if they had more shots that it 'd make it easier for people to recognize her . lily : yeah , i have , uh , wedding pics on my laptop . i can forward them to you . devon : thank you . i appreciate that . lily : we 're gon na find her . devon : i know . wherever she is or whatever 's happened to her , i know that she knows how much i love her and how hard i 'm working to bring her home , just like i know that she 's doing everything she can to get back to me . neil : yeah , hilary . i always tried to take care of you like a good husband . i showered you with all the love that i could . i tried to make all your wishes come true . that was n't enough for you . nothing was never enough for you . not because you fell in love with devon . no , no , no . no . it was n't ever about love . it was about you . who you are . huh . who you 've always been . the person to inflict pain on other people . that 's why you came to genoa city . because you wanted to get revenge on me . you wanted to hurt me and my family for what you thought i did to your mother . i never clearly understood that deep obsessive impulse to pay somebody back . i - i wanted -- i wanted to teach you that love has the power to heal . instead , you ended up teaching me that it has the power to destroy . phyllis : what ? you got no lie on the tip of your tongue ? you 're usually so good at that . like the one about you not following avery to genoa city . joe : i came here for business , and now it 's my home . phyllis : oh , is your hotel room here your home ? joe : i have friends here , and i 've established genoa city as a base of operations for my business . and bonus -- i do n't have any more restraining orders against me , so whether you like it or not , i 'm staying here . i was just asking about avery . phyllis : why , joe ? why do you want to know ? joe : because i care about her . phyllis : you care about your ex - wife who accused you of being a rapist ? joe : people make mistakes . that was hers . phyllis : avery 's biggest mistake was marrying you . joe : you know , i loved her . phyllis : no , you abused her . you controlled and manipulated her long after the divorce . see , you followed her to genoa city and you destroyed her relationship with dylan , and you forced her to have one with you . you pushed her over the edge , and i saw that for myself . so you may not be the one who attacked her , but she would have never been in that alley if it were n't for you . joe : you know what ? do n't put that on me . phyllis : i am blaming the monster who assaulted her . it was your fault that she left town . i lost my sister because of you . joe : you know , i may have been a lousy husband , but i 'm not to blame for all of avery 's problems , and i 'm sure as hell not responsible for why you lost your sister . that 's on you . ashley : i 'm right . you made a deal with victor . jack : it is not like before . ashley : what are you up to ? jack : we have merely agreed to coordinate our efforts . ashley : for what ? jack : to find out more about this paragon project and who 's behind it . ashley : we do n't even know if that 's a real thing . jack : victor believes it 's a real threat , and more and more , i think there 's a possibility that someone 's after his company and mine . ashley : you mean mine . jack : there will be nothing left of our family company if victor and i do n't outsmart our common enemy . ashley : wow . it took you one entire day . jack : what ? ashley : you leave me a really sweet note telling me how supportive you are of me , and then you go behind my back and make a deal with victor . jack : wait a minute . i have been totally up front with you . ashley : you made me c.e.o . let me run the damn company . jack : ash , this is not a power play . this is a real threat against the newmans and the abbotts . ashley : what did victor propose ? jack : i proposed that each of us work individually to ferret out what information we can about this mystery project and share what we 've learned . ashley : very nice . in theory . except what if victor makes a deal whoever 's the mastermind of paragon and then they bring down jabot together ? jack : i guess i 'll have to figure out who it is first . ashley : i do n't like the sound of this at all . jack : what ? me besting victor ? me finally coming out on top ? ashley : you want to square off with him again -- have at it , okay ? i 've got a business to run . jack : this is not a game , sis . ashley : whatever it is , jack , you got lots of time to do it , do n't you ? [ sighs ] thank heavens . i can finally get some work done ! jack : oh . good . transaction incomplete . what 's that ? ashley : jack . jack : i 'm just asking . ashley : [ sighs ] it 's a purchase order for packaging materials that was automatically scheduled for last night . jack : during the blackout . wow . i guess you 'll have to submit it again . ashley : `` wow `` is right . i placed this order , but then i got another bid from another company for 30 % less . and since this transaction was canceled , i 've saved the company about $ 2 million . jack : you managed to turn the blackout to your advantage . ashley : yeah , i told you i 'd be good at this . jack : i never doubted that . ashley : thank you . i 've got to get going . i 've got a meeting at the club with a potential buyer , i hope , the biggest department store in finland . jack : ash ? good luck . ashley : good luck to you , too . call me if you need anything . jack : keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who might have an ax to grind with the abbotts . phyllis : get lost , joe . water , please . joe : what 's the matter , phyllis ? ca n't handle the truth ? phyllis : like you would know what that is . joe : well , i know you just up and left your kid sister with your crappy parents , and that was well before i got in the picture . phyllis : avery and i worked through all that . she understood why i had to leave home and why i could n't take her with me . joe : well , i 'm sure that 's what she told you . but she was singing a different tune when she confided in me . the pain that you caused her , phyllis , was deep and lasting . you did n't lose your sister because of me . you lost avery because you suck at being a sister . phyllis : okay , i want you to listen to me , you arrogant piece of slime . the days of avery confiding in you are over . she confides in me now . and if she tells me you try to contact her at all by phone or you try to text her or you send her a message by carrier pigeon , i will make your life a living hell . you got it ? lily : what 's going on ? joe : oh , i was just asking phyllis about her sister , and i seemed to have , uh , ruffled her feathers a bit . lily : well , no offense , but i think that joe has as much right as anybody to know how avery 's doing . phyllis : i can not believe that you 're defending him . and i bet your husband would be just as appalled as i am . cane : $ 1 million is a lot of money , michael . calls will start pouring in . michael : i told devon that offering such a large sum could end up slowing down our search . we 'll waste a lot of time chasing down bad leads . cane : well , all we can do is follow the believable ones and , uh , hope for the best . michael : one could think offering such a huge reward could help us prove devon 's innocence . cane : how ? michael : well , he 's practically begging witnesses to come forward , and he 's not hiding it . those are not the actions of a guilty man . cane : i find it hard to believe the authorities are accusing him with so little evidence . michael : it 's not like it 's never happened . cane : what ? you think they know something they 're not saying ? michael : well , i 'm on my way to visit the prosecutor now . i 'll let you know what he says . cane : all right , well , i 'll keep on my search , okay ? michael : i will meet you back here . gentlemen . cane : you look worried . i 've been on many cases where someone is missing , whether it 's because of an accident or they got lost or just took themselves off the grid . in time , they turn up . but when there 's foul play , the person responsible makes sure they never turn up . they hide the body somewhere no one will ever find it . neil : you okay ? devon : i do n't know how much longer i can just sit in genoa city and not do anything . neil : you know if you go to virgin gorda , they 're gon na arrest you , right ? devon : i do know that . that 's the only thing stopping me from going there and burning the whole island down . neil : what you got there ? devon : i 'm just -- i 'm looking for new pictures of hilary to release to the press 'cause the reporter that i spoke to the other day said that it might help with finding hilary , so i 'm trying to pick the best one . neil : hmm . let me see that . [ clears throat ] yeah , yeah , that 's -- that 's a good one . where was that ? devon : that was at the empire state building . that was during the trip we were in new york together . neil : it 's okay . i already told you , uh , it 's all in the past , right ? [ sighs ] mm - hmm . i think you really should use that picture . it 's a very clear shot of her . she 's smiling . devon : yeah . neil : it 's kind of surprising , though . she 's 1,200 feet up in the air and she 's deathly afraid of heights . devon : what do you mean , she 's afraid of heights ? neil : well , ever since she was a kid . she got stuck at the top of a ferris wheel . you know , totally freaked her out . she 's been terrified of heights ever since . yeah , that 's why i was kind of shocked you were able to convince her to take a helicopter ride and then a hike up the hill . devon : i should be arrested . neil : why ? devon : i 'll tell you why -- 'cause [ scoffs ] i 'm guilty . everything that happened to her in virgin gorda i 'm responsible for . michael : thanks for meeting with me . mr. donovan : well , i should warn you , i have more than enough evidence to prosecute mr. hamilton . michael : all circumstantial . you have no body . you have no proof that my client 's wife is even dead . mr. donovan : i have won many cases on far less evidence than i have in this one . michael : [ sighs ] i 've done my homework , mr. donovan . your laws here regarding disclosure are the same as we have in the states , so ... please disclose . mr. donovan : well , we know that mr. hamilton sent his wife on a hike and that someone canceled her scheduled tour guide , which created an opportunity for him to be alone with her on the summit where a witness saw them arguing . michael : you have no proof that devon made that phone call , and the witness saw someone who looks like devon . mr. donovan : we 're confident a positive i.d . will be made once we have your client in a lineup . michael : even if you could prove your theoretical scenario , you have no motive . mr. donovan : i 've done my homework , too , mr. baldwin . i discovered that the accused and the victim -- michael : alleged victim . mr. donovan : ... cheated on her previous husband , mr. hamilton 's father . it 's possible she cheated on her new husband , too . michael : [ chuckles ] that is a complete work of fiction . you have no proof . mr. donovan : i know that the former hilary curtis is really ann turner and that she came to wisconsin to exact revenge on mr. hamilton 's whole family . perhaps she was n't done . michael : all right , that 's it . wait . that 's it . that 's your case ? you have nothing . pure speculation . mr. donovan : the shoe with mrs. hamilton 's blood on it is a fact . you 're right . a body would make this an open - and - shut case . but not having one is n't going to stop me from trying and convicting your client . michael : you 'd have to get him back here first . mr. donovan : ah , he ca n't fight extradition forever . michael : a couple million dollars says he can . mr. donovan : the best thing you can do for your client is to convince him to come back here and admit his guilt . devon : i 'm guilty , man ! neil : hey , hey . shh , shh , shh , shh . no , no , no , do n't you say that in a public place . you hear me ? devon : why not say it ? 'cause it 's the truth . i convinced hilary to go on that trail where she disappeared . she probably did n't want to go . she did it for me . neil : okay . devon : how could i not know my wife is afraid of heights ? neil : shh . calm down . it 's not your fault . devon : i 'm her husband . i 'm supposed to know those things . neil : maybe it 's over now . you know , obviously she 's been working on it because she went to the top of the empire state building and she took a ride in a helicopter , right ? devon : yeah , which she probably just did for me , too . this is just a lot of stuff that i did n't know about her . and i thought that i had a lifetime to learn it . neil : you do n't know that you wo n't . devon : i was willing to sacrifice everything to be with her -- my relationship with lily , my relationship with you . [ sighs ] neil : hey , listen . it 's all in the past , all right ? i 've forgiven you . i 'm here now . devon : i know you are . i know . and i honestly do n't know how i would be getting through any of this without you here . neil : i know . i know how much she means to you . i do . devon : i 'd give away every penny to have her back . everything . just the thought of her being out there and suffering , i do n't ... neil : hey . got to stay strong . devon : i 'm trying to stay strong . but the more time goes by , the harder that is . if i lose her ... neil : hey . hey , hey , hey . no , no , no . come here . no . joe : well , it 's hard to believe that those two are actually sisters . i mean , she 's complete opposite of avery , right ? truth , goodness . well , she was right about one thing . cane probably would n't appreciate you coming to my defense . lily : no , he probably would not . joe : you know , i 'm sorry for causing so much trouble between you two . lily : it 's fine , it 's fine . we 're working through it . joe : you two really seem to love each other . lily : yeah . we do . i think we 've learned that if love is gon na last , then you have to have trust . so do n't worry about me coming to your defense or anything . it 's not gon na cause any problems for cane and me . joe : well , it 's probably just a waste of your breath . i mean , it 's no secret phyllis hates me , and after , uh , alienating cane , you 're about the only one in this town that 's decent to me . lily : well , believe it or not , i think you 're a decent guy . joe : well , avery , i 'm sure would disagree . lily : hey , we 've all made mistakes in the name of love , right ? i mean , who has n't ? joe : and i wonder why you still see me that way . lily : well , maybe because i 'm a good judge of character . ashley : phyllis ! phyllis : ash , hi . ashley : i 'm so glad to see you . i want to talk to you . phyllis : as long as it 's not too stressful . i just had an amazing massage . ashley : good for you . it 's about the paragon project . you 've heard of it , right ? phyllis : yeah . crazy , imaginary plot to destroy the newmans , yeah . ashley : well , now victor has jack believing in it now . phyllis : jack ? jack , my husband , who 's supposed to be taking a break from business ? ashley : yeah , that lasted about five minutes . now he 's determined to find out who 's behind this paragon . he thinks it 's somebody that 's close to both families and possibly has a vendetta against jack or victor . you 're not listening to me . phyllis : i 'm sorry . i just had a little run - in with my sister 's ex earlier . he actually had the audacity to ask for information about her . he is so disgusting . you know , in a perfect world , he would be gone and avery would n't be . anyway , um , i 'm not quite sure why he is still in town . you 're friends with joe , are n't you ? ashley : well , we spent a little time together in new york . that 's all . phyllis : how well do you know him ? ashley : not that well . why ? phyllis : well , it 's just strange that he 's still here in town . it seems like he 's got a hidden agenda . ashley : well , if he did , why does that matter to you ? phyllis : could his hidden agenda be the paragon project ? ashley : why do you think joe would have a problem with the newmans and the abbotts ? phyllis : that warehouse redevelopment plan was very huge for him . he lost a lot of money when victor backed out of that . ashley : yeah . what about jack ? i mean , what would be his beef with jack ? phyllis : me . going after my husband would be a good way of getting back at me for turning avery against him . ashley : i think that 's a reach . phyllis : but the timing is right for all of this . he has enough resources to pull something like this off . ashley : i can look into it . phyllis : good . ashley : you know , or better yet , we could have victor and jack look into it since they 're reprising their roles as the dynamic duo . phyllis : what are you talking about ? ashley : [ sighs ] they 've made a deal , phyllis . they 're gon na start working together . can you bel -- phyllis . hey , uh , yeah , it 's ashley abbott . i have a meeting with mr. aderling . do you think we could postpone it just for an hour ? great . yeah . something 's come up . thanks so much . devon : i just have to keep it together . i have to focus and believe that michael and cane and the search and rescue team , they will -- they will find hilary and they will bring her back home . neil : there you go . i like this . you ca n't lose hope . devon : i 'm not gon na lose hope . if they could just find the man that she was arguing with . neil : yeah . well , that -- that could be anybody . um , have you thought about what you 're gon na do if something did happen to hilary ? devon : well , my priority would become making whoever 's responsible pay . michael : there is no way devon is going to plead guilty to a crime he did n't commit . mr. donovan : i 'm not asking him to . michael : mr. hamilton loved his wife . there 's no way he would hurt her . they just got married , for god sakes . mr. donovan : it would n't be the first time a bride was murdered on her honeymoon . michael : you do n't know these two . they fought enormous obstacles to be together . their relationship has withstood every challenge they faced . their wedding was one of the most romantic things i 've ever witnessed . there 's no reason for devon to be angry at hilary . in fact , there was ... mr. donovan : there 's a reason for her to be angry with him ? hmm . why would mrs. hamilton have been angry with her husband ? michael : i did n't say she was . devon is a good and decent man . he would n't hurt a fly , much less the woman he loves . mr. donovan : very moving , mr. baldwin . just remember juries may be moved by lovely words , but they 'll be convinced by the evidence . good day . [ door opens ] jimmy : you 're the man looking for a missing woman ? cane : yeah , that 's me . jimmy : i 've been calling your hotline . i ca n't get through . cane : you know something ? jimmy : i saw what happened . devon : thank you . lily : hey . did you get the pictures i sent ? devon : yeah , i did . thank you . lily : any news ? devon : yeah . my wife 's afraid of heights . lily : what ? devon : dad just told me that . lily : if she was afraid of heights , why did she go hiking up a mountain ? devon : because i 'm an idiot and i suggested that she go by herself even when she wanted to stay at the hotel with me . she was trying to tell me she did n't want to go . lily : come on , devon . you could n't have known that . you would n't have arranged it if she had n't said that she wanted to go . devon : well ... why would she keep a fear like that from me ? lily : maybe she was embarrassed . devon : i 'm the one that should be embarrassed . i made her go on the helicopter , and then i got sick . she could have told me then . she told neil about it . lily : is that what this is about ? the fact that dad knew something about her you did n't ? devon : no . i 'm just -- i 'm not thinking straight . i guess i 've had too much caffeine and not enough sleep . lily : look , i 'm sure dad did n't mean to upset you about hilary 's phobia . devon : i know he did n't . just -- i just forget sometimes how close they were before i came into the picture . lily : if i did n't know any better , i would think that you were jealous . cane : and you are sure that is what you saw ? jimmy : not the type of thing you forget . do i get the reward now ? cane : why do n't you write your name and your number on the back of this , please ? thanks . i 'll be in touch . do n't speak to anybody till you hear from me , you understand ? all right . thanks . michael : what was all that about ? cane : it looks like we may have found ourselves a credible witness . michael : what did he say ? cane : he said he saw a man on the rocks below the hiking trail where hilary went missing . michael : that 's all ? cane : the man picked her up and carried her off . and he looked a lot like the husband they 've been showing on television . michael : oh , and he just happened to conveniently remember this hours after devon offers $ 1 million for any information leading to hilary 's whereabouts ? really ? cane : he said the reason that he did n't report it earlier is he thought she was drunk , and , uh , you know , then he saw the flier , he went and checked on the news , so he came and saw me , so ... michael : [ sighs ] still sounds very convenient . cane : michael , he was very sincere . michael : whether or not he 's telling the truth , this is exactly the kind of information the prosecutor is looking for , someone placing devon at the scene of the crime and conveniently coincidentally carrying off a body . cane : i understand that , but the head of the search team said if hilary was killed , the murderer would most likely dispose of the body . michael : is that why he thinks we ca n't find her ? cane : he thinks it 's very possible , yeah . michael : well , it 's looking more and more like he might be right . cane : what do you want to do ? michael : for starters , make sure nobody hears about this for now . phyllis : how could you ?

[ dramatic music ] gabi : [ chuckles ] kate : i thought of you as soon as i heard about hope 's confession . chad : yeah , i know . um , when father was killed , andré actually told me it was hope that did it , and i chose not to believe him . kate : well , of course you chose not to believe him . she 's a police officer . she 's supposed to uphold the law . [ sighs ] roman and rafe must be beside themselves . chad : yeah , doing everything they can to get hope off the hook . kate : she needs to be held accountable . chad : and she will be . i 'm gon na make sure of it . kate : i think you should let andré handle that . chad : ugh ! kate : you know , the best way that you can honor your father 's legacy is by focusing on the empire that he built . chad : yeah , that 's what i 'm doing ! sorry , i 'm doing that . i 'm actually entertaining a potential investor tonight with his wife . kate : oh . chad : you probably know them , actually -- vicky and brad bush ? kate : [ laughing ] oh , yes . yes , they are salem 's elite , with boatloads of money ready to invest . chad : yeah , i would n't suffer through a symphony otherwise . kate : well , you ca n't do it over dinner ? chad : well , the bushes are big donors of the philharmonic , so i figured i would take them there and try to win them over . kate : [ sighs ] well , believe me , there are a lot worse things you could suffer through for a lucrative business deal . chad : i 'm not so sure . brad is -- is unscrupulous and wily , and i 'd rather be hanging out with the thugs down at the waterfront . kate : no . no , you do n't want to do that if you want to make dimera legit . you 're the ceo of a company , and you want to clean up its image , all right ? going out for an evening with the bushes is par for the course . not all deals are done in a boardroom . chad : so i 'm learning . kate : mm . if you want to play the game , you want to play it to win . but please remember , if you 're bored , hide it . and who knows ? maybe you 'll have the time of your life . [ soft dramatic music ] chad : well , just because i have to play the game does n't mean i have to enjoy it . gabi : oh , sorry . should i come back later ? chad : hi . gabi : hi . kate : hi ! chad : no , come -- come in . even if the symphony is n't my thing , at least i 'll look the part thanks to my image consultant . kate : what ? gabi 's dressing you now ? well , i thought i noticed a change in style . gabi : oh , you mean that in a good way , right ? chad : yes , she does . everybody can see that my game has been raised . gabi : [ chuckles ] kate : [ sighs ] i heard about jj . how 's he doing ? gabi : uh , he 's better . he just got home from the hospital today , so ... chad : and you 're here helping me . i 'm sorry . gabi : it 's okay . jj 's got a lot of family keeping him company -- some , like julie , who would rather i not be there anyway . kate : well , i 'm sure jennifer adores you . gabi : yeah , she 's great . she 's wonderful . and i 'm sure she would appreciate some alone time with her son . so you ready to get all slicked up for your night out ? chad : yes , show me what you got . gabi : what about something like this bad boy ? kate : ooh . chad : i like that . kate : it 's ... gabi : yeah ? kate : it 's fabulous , but it 's a little edgy for the bushes . gabi : okay . chad : wait , so i got to dress for them now too ? kate : you need to make them feel comfortable . they 're not international jet- setters . they 're more conservative blue bloods . gabi : all right . what do you think ? kate : ooh , perfect . gabi : yeah ? kate : perfect . gabi : and you want to make sure to keep your phone away , because , you know , with this kind of crowd , even checking it occasionally is a faux pas . chad : how would you know about that crowd ? gabi : i mean , all those photo shoots we did in those big mansions ? i mean , i soaked up more than just the sun . chad : and i was too busy striking a pose . gabi : that 's right , we did call you `` gq - square . `` i remember . kate : [ chuckles ] chad , maybe you should take gabi with you . chad : i like that idea . gabi : no , absolutely -- no , i would n't want to bother the -- sorry , no . chad : no , you would n't . are you kidding me ? i need a date , and you 'd make the night more bearable . what do you say ? gabi : uh ... julie : just clam chowder ? you 're sure that 's it ? jj : it heals bradys and hortons alike . [ jennifer and julie laugh ] julie : jenn ? jennifer : oh , no , i 'm good . thanks , julie . julie : yeah , you are now . jennifer : you know , julie 's right . i am so relieved now that you are just home . jj : as relieved as i am to be home , i wish i was well enough to be back on patrol . jennifer : well , i do n't -- i do n't wish that at all . i think it 's really too soon for you to just go right back into the line of fire . jj : now you sound like gabi . she does n't even like it when i mention going back to work . but she knows i 'm committed to being a cop . she 's accepted it . jennifer : yeah , because she loves you . jj : i felt that when i was in the coma ... both of you . jennifer : she never left your side , you know . she even made a mix of your favorite music , and she put the earbud in your ear and one in hers and just shared the music together . jj : i was out of it most of the time , but ... i kind of remember . jennifer : yeah , it was really sweet . jj : gabi 's the best . jennifer : you really do love her , do n't you ? jj : yeah . i do . jennifer : and i believe you . which is why what i heard just -- it does n't make any sense . jj : what are you talking about ? jennifer : well , when you were in and out of consciousness , you were -- you were talking , and you were saying things about gabi that i just -- i did n't understand . jj : what did i say , mom ? jennifer : well , i mean , you were saying that you were sorry and that you hope that she forgives you and ... what did that mean ? forgive you for what , honey ? chloe : could we please just take it down a notch ? [ door opens ] deimos : [ sighs ] i do n't believe this . the lab technician threw me out , told me to wait in here . chloe : well , maybe you could wait outside . deimos : oh , i 'm sure you would love that , right ? give you a chance to get inside nicole 's head , turn her against me ? chloe : ugh , i 'm pretty sure she knows her own mind . deimos : yeah , she does . and she knows that all i want is the truth . chloe : truth is , you 're not the father , and the test is gon na prove that -- again . deimos : you better not be lying to me this time , chloe . chloe : do you hear him threatening me ? nicole : chloe , i think he has the right to be angry after everything you put him through . chloe : you 're so blind . nicole : why ? because i want things to be fair for everyone involved ? chloe : you just do n't get it . and by the time you do find out , then i hope , for your sake , it 's not too late . [ dramatic music ] gabi : actually , uh , i do n't -- i do n't think it 'd be appropriate for me to tag along . chad : wait , that 's not what you 'd be doing . if anything , you 'd be helping me keep the conversation flowing . gabi : uh , yeah , but i told jj i 'd be back later . kate : yeah , but did n't you just say he got home from the hospital , right ? gabi : well , yeah , but -- kate : well , i 'm sure that jennifer would be more than happy to run , fetch ice chips for him , and meanwhile you can go to the symphony . gabi : yeah , i did -- i did want jj to spend time with his mom . chad : look , you can -- you know , instead of keeping him awake , you can keep me from dozing off -- which i 'm gon na do . gabi : [ laughs ] chad : i 'm gon na do it . gabi : that sounds like a real blast . kate : you know , i think what chad 's really trying to say is that it 'd be a lot easier for him to charm potential investors if he had backup , which means a beautiful , intelligent woman on his arm . gabi : that 's flattering . thank you . but , um ... yeah , i do n't know . it 's late , and i do n't really have anything to wear . chad : no . come on , you 're a professional stylist . really . here . i want you to take this , and i want you to call those , you know , hookups you got , and i want you to find something . i do n't care what it costs . i want it to be beautiful , fabulous , wonderful . does n't -- i do n't care what -- oh , and that 's an order from your boss . take it . take it . take it . take it . gabi : fine . fine . okay , fine . [ giggles ] oh , i 'm gon na -- i 'll be back . i 'm gon na go text jj and let him know . and i 'll be back when i find something fabulous . thank you . [ soft dramatic music ] jj : what you heard ... was probably just the meds , mom , messing with my head . jennifer : no , i thought about that . it 's just , you were so agitated . and when you said you were sorry , it was so intense that i got the feeling you felt guilty about something . jj : okay , well , it 's not like i do n't have plenty to feel guilty about when it comes to gabi . we do n't spend enough time together . and she 's always worried and does n't get any sleep when i 'm on patrol . then there 's me getting shot and putting her even more on edge about my job . what i said , it could 've been any one of those things . jennifer : yeah , right . jj : mom , it 's not a big deal , okay ? just forget about it . jennifer : well , i wish i could . jj : you did n't tell gabi about this , did you ? jennifer : no , i did n't , but i talked to kayla about it -- jj : what ? why would you tell her ? jennifer : because she 's your doctor . and she did tell me that agitation was normal when you suffered trauma like that , yes . jj : okay , mom , please , do n't tell anyone else . i 'm begging you . jennifer : you 're begging me ? honey , i know you . i can tell by the way you 're reacting that -- that you are not being honest with me . jj : i told you it was nothing ! jennifer : okay . i 'm not trying to cause trouble between you and gabi . but if you are hiding something , you need to deal with it . okay , i 'm gon na stop now . but i want you to think about what i said , jj . jj : mom . i ca n't lie to you . i cheated on gabi . we all need a hug in the morning chad : yeah , but that 's the package i 'm offering and not a single share more , so either he accepts it , or he 's out . [ knock at door ] chad : so , um ... no , i 'm -- no , yeah , i 'm here . he has till , um , tomorrow to decide . okay . [ exhales forcefully ] gabi : [ giggles ] chad : what ? gabi : is it too much ? i do n't know . i 've never been to the symphony . chad : you know , it 's -- well , eh , it 's all right . gabi : you like it ? the guy , when he gave me the garment bag , i felt like cinderella . i mean , i 've modeled a lot of amazing dresses but never owned one , so ... oh , wait , i do n't own one . this is yours , so -- chad : no , that 's -- gabi : you paid for this . this belongs to you , so ... chad : well , it 's not really my size . gabi : [ laughing ] right . yeah . chad : no , but i mean , yeah , uh ... keep it , you know ? consider it , um -- you know , um , for helping me tonight . gabi : [ laughs ] should we head -- we should get going , right ? like ... chad : we 're -- gabi : we should head over . chad : we 're going . gabi : okay . chad : okay , let 's -- shall we ? okay . jennifer : jj , you cheated on gabi ? why ? when did this happen ? jj : a few months ago . i was in miami , looking for abigail . the day they called off the search , officially declared that there were no survivors from the plane crash , that 's when it hit me that my big sister , the one who i always looked up to and who always looked out for me , was gone . one of the worst days of my life . jennifer : it was mine too , baby . jj : in a way , 'cause i was alone , it ... it did n't seem real . then that pain would come back again . jennifer : i wish that i was there for you , because if i had gone with you , maybe i could 've helped you -- jj : it was n't your fault , mom . it was nobody 's fault but mine . i 'm the one who went down to the bar 'cause i could n't stand being alone in my hotel room . i ordered a drink ... and i kept on ordering until i could n't feel anything . i must 've blacked out , because the next thing i remembered was waking up in my hotel room with a monster hangover , and ... i did n't have any clothes on , and there was an empty bottle of tequila on the floor . jennifer : oh , jj . jj : there was a napkin on the nightstand with kiss marks on it and a message that said , `` thanks for an amazing night . call me . `` jennifer : did you even know her name , jj ? [ dramatic music ] nicole : all right , could you just calm down , please ? deimos : i ca n't , not until i get those results . nicole : well , it 's been a while . i 'm sure they 're in . deimos : yeah . nicole : so ... was the big news about the baby 's father ? chloe : father ? nicole : the one - night stand that got you pregnant ? chloe : i thought you were washing your hands of me . nicole : well , because you wo n't give anyone the straight story , chloe . chloe : i ca n't believe you . i ca n't believe that you would bring him here and let him put me through that paternity test nightmare all over again . nicole : well , he wanted a child . and when that first test said that he was n't the father , he was devastated . how can i not feel for him ? i knew exactly what he felt . and it 's a terrible disappointment . chloe : i know . nicole : chloe , i swear , deimos is not a monster . and yes , he 's done some stuff in his past that he 's not proud of . he suffered in his childhood , but he is striving to be a better man . he does n't want to hurt anyone anymore . he really does have a good heart . chloe : do you love him ? nicole : i do n't know . i do n't know if you could call it love , not yet . but there is something about him -- [ door opens ] nicole : well ? did you get the results ? deimos : i 'm not the father of chloe 's child . but i got to tell you , whoever it is ... i got to feel sorry for him . because either you 'll deny him the right to ever see his kid , or you 'll make his life a living hell when he does . [ soft dramatic music ] nicole ? you coming ? nicole : yeah . we 're done here . chloe : hey , it 's me . yeah , i 'm sorry . i need to see you . no , right away . the roses are blooming in herbal essences jennifer : jj , you do n't even remember her name or meeting her ? how drunk were you ? jj : drunk enough to stop the pain . jennifer : right . no , i -- right . and i 'm the last person to judge you . i just -- i wish that i -- jj : that it did n't happen ? you 're not alone on that . jennifer : but listen , it 's -- it 's how you move forward from here , okay ? jj : you think i should come clean with gabi . jennifer : do n't you ? jj : when i first got back from miami , i wanted to . i wanted to clear my head and get it out of my conscience . there never seemed to be a good time . jennifer : and now ? jj : it seems selfish . even if it would make me feel less like a lying creep , how about how she would feel ? is it worth breaking her heart over a mistake i made one time with a stranger who i 'll never see again ? i do n't think so . i love her way too much to want to hurt her like that . [ jazzy music ] chad : [ clears throat ] would , uh -- would you like another ? brad : uh , does a chicken have lips ? [ laughter ] vicky : i 'm good for now , thanks . chad : okay . brad : ah , the symphony ... such an uplifting experience , is n't it ? and as a nonmusician myself , i 'm just blown away by the strength and bravery of the soloists . chad : same here , yeah . gabi : yeah , definitely . brad : and the solo versus orchestra interplay absolutely draws me in . chad : me too . gabi : yeah , absolutely . vicky : bradley and i heard the cleveland orchestra play beethoven last summer , and we were absolutely on cloud nine . a glimpse of a better world . chad : i , um -- i know the feeling , as did my father . he was a -- he was a huge fan of the opera , orchestra . vicky : how lovely . chad : yeah . you and he , uh , shared a very similar passion with music . gabi : yeah , that and a razor - sharp business mind , i 've been told by chad . [ laughter ] vicky : what an astute young man . and how nice it would be for you and bradley to do business together . brad : let 's leave the ladies to their small talk , and let 's go discuss that proposal , hmm ? chad : absolutely . vicky : i ca n't imagine chad needs an image consultant . he seems so confident ... and very charming , i might add . gabi : yeah , he is . yeah . vicky : my husband might benefit from some guidance . gabi : oh , i 've only been working for chad for a very little , short time . and your husband 's -- he 's very handsome and very well - dressed also . vicky : well , i 've certainly tried to instill a certain sense of style over the years . but enough about brad . i could n't help noticing that chad wears a wedding band . was his wife unable to come this evening ? gabi : um , unfortunately , his wife died in a plane accident several months ago . vicky : oh , the poor man . gabi : yeah , it 's actually a really tragic thing . they have a child together , so chad 's raising thomas on his own . vicky : with help , i assume ? gabi : yeah , he has , of course , a lot of people that love him and care about him and are willing to help whenever he needs it . vicky : who would n't want to help a man like that ? still , even with all he has , he must be so lonely . [ soft music ] nicole : i still do n't know why chloe called me to meet up with her . i mean , first i thought it was because she was actually gon na tell me who the father was , and then she saw you , and she lashed out . some things were said , and it got ugly . deimos : you chose me -- your loyalty to me over your friendship with her . when i asked you if you were coming , you did n't even hesitate -- just like you did n't hesitate bringing me with you . nicole : i was n't gon na keep you in the dark again . deimos : [ sighs ] then that tells me , more than anything , not only do you still care . there 's still a chance for us . [ soft music ] chloe : hey . i was n't sure that you 'd come . philip : why would n't i come ? you know how relieved i was to get your call ? chloe : you 're not still mad at me ? philip : i thought you were mad at me . chloe : well , i was but not anymore . i know you were just trying to help me , and i was making it impossible . philip : is that why you called -- to apologize ? chloe : actually , i need your advice . philip : do n't you usually go to your bff nicole for that ? you should know she 's been just as concerned as i 've been about finding you , making sure you and the baby are okay . chloe : she 's the last person i can talk to about this . philip : because she 's still involved with deimos ? chloe : that 's one reason . philip : there 's another ? chloe : yeah . see , this baby that i 'm carrying , the mother is nicole . [ dramatic music ] from the first moment you met jennifer : baby , i get you wanting to spare gabi 's feelings . but you know better than anyone that keeping something from someone that you love is not gon na make it go away . it 's always gon na be there between you and gabi unless you just get it out . what are you thinking ? jj : that i wish that i was n't this type of guy . jennifer : what type of guy ? jj : a cheater . i 've done it twice now . jennifer : no , you listen to me . you stop this . i am not gon na let you beat yourself up , okay ? you need to focus on getting well right now , and once -- once you are well , i know that you and gabi are gon na work this out . you 're gon na figure it out . jj : maybe there 's nothing to work out . jennifer : what do you mean ? jj : just that ... maybe i just do n't deserve someone as great as gabi . chad : all right . for you . gabi : thank you . chad : um ... to new friends . vicky : cheers . gabi : cheers . brad : why do n't you two come and spend the weekend at the cape with us sometime soon ? chad : yeah , we , um -- we would love that . and we can celebrate you coming on board as a new investor in dimera enterprises . brad : about that . i 've been mulling over the figures we discussed earlier , and i 'm just not sure that the numbers add up . chad : it 's a huge deal . i understand you being a little cautious . gabi : oh , just so you know , chad is the most cautious guy i know , especially when it comes to business . vicky : wow . an image consultant and a cheerleader . brad : i 'm not saying it wo n't happen . chad : my father taught me early on that nothing worthwhile comes easy . now , i 'm confident the deal i 'm proposing will yield a very strong return . brad : i need more time to look over the figures . chad : okay , i completely understand that , but ... i have offered this package to other investors , so i just -- i would n't want you to miss out on the opportunity because you 've taken too much time . [ thomas crying over monitor ] gabi : oh , sorry . excuse me . chad : no , it 's -- it 's fine . eleanor 's with him . gabi : yeah , um , i think i 'm just gon na pop my head in . excuse me . vicky : so devoted -- to you and your son . chad : yes , i 'm a lucky man . vicky : yes , you are . brad : from what i understand , your father was n't so lucky . i heard a detective on the salem police force was recently arrested for his murder . that must 've been rather unsettling for you and your family . chad : it was a shock . but we 're dealing with it . vicky : brad , darling , could you get my shawl from the car ? i suddenly feel a chill . brad : i 'm not cold . stand over by the fire . vicky : you know my blood runs colder than yours . it 's on the backseat . chad : let me ... vicky : oh , thank you . chad : take those for you . vicky : come . let 's have a little talk . chad : all right , um ... i hope i 'm not putting too much , uh , pressure on your husband . vicky : well , pressure can sometimes be a good thing . regardless , i know that bradley likes you very much . chad : well , i look forward to doing business with him . vicky : i like you too , chad . a lot . chad : oh . [ chuckles nervously ] deimos : i never had a woman in my adult life i can trust . and i want that , nicole . i do . and i believe i can have it with you . nicole : since i 've proven myself , you mean ? deimos : i 'm not gon na deny that what you did today helped gain my trust . but even before that , i knew . i knew how lucky i was to find someone so beautiful , so kind , loyal , strong ... and independent . nicole : maybe too independent ? deimos : i would n't have it any other way . i 'm sorry , nicole . i 'm sorry for anything i said , anything that i did that may have hurt you . i believe that we were meant for each other . and if you would just give me the chance , i will prove it to you . chloe : well , do you remember , before deimos , when nicole was with daniel , how much she wanted to have a baby ? philip : i remember . but there was a problem . chloe : yeah , she ca n't carry to term . and it just killed me to see how heartbroken she and daniel were over that , and so i offered to be a surrogate . philip : and carry the baby for them . chloe : yeah , except it was n't that simple . when we went to the fertility clinic , the ivf did n't work the first time , and before we had a chance to try again , daniel died , and nicole just fell apart . and i thought that maybe if she could have a piece of daniel that he left behind that it would give her a reason to live , and so i tried again . philip : i 'm surprised she let you . chloe : well , she did n't know . i did n't want to tell her again in case it did n't work . i did n't want her to be heartbroken , so i just tried again on my own . i had all legal clearance . but then the fertility clinic said it did n't work again , and i just accepted that . philip : only now you 're saying the doctor was wrong ? no wonder you freaked out the day we got the results that showed deimos was n't the father . chloe : yeah , i finally realized that the only possible explanation was that this baby was nicole and daniel 's . and i 've so wanted to tell her , but everything 's been so horrible between us , and ... i do n't know . i used to think that she 'd be a wonderful mother , but now i do n't know . philip : well , you 're not seriously thinking of keeping this from nicole because of him ? chloe : i do n't want to . but i feel like i have to . i love this baby . i have a responsibility . philip : a responsibility ? nicole 's the mother . end of story . [ dramatic music ] [ soft dramatic music ] nicole : i ca n't say that i was n't warned . and chloe told me several times that if i stay with you , i 'll regret it . deimos : okay , can we finally just forget about chloe ? all right ? this is about you and me . nicole : god knows i have tried more than once to walk away from whatever this is between us . and every time , it did n't work . because even when i 'm not with you , i think about you . deimos : you need to trust what 's in your heart , nicole . just give me the chance to prove that i 'm worthy of you , and you will never regret it . chloe : if only nicole was n't so blind to deimos . philip : blind or not , it 's still her baby , chloe . chloe : biologically , yes . but it 's also daniel 's son and parker 's brother . so i feel even more obligated to do what 's best for this baby . philip : i hear everything you 're saying . but think about how you 'd feel if you were nicole . would n't you want to know ? chloe : i 'm not saying that i 'm never gon na tell her . but as long as she 's with deimos , i ca n't risk it . it 's not safe . which is why this has to stay a secret . please , please tell me you can keep it . philip : do you even have to ask ? chloe : thank you . philip : do you want to know why i 'm agreeing to something i think is wrong ? chloe : i 'm assuming because you agree that it 's a horrible idea for deimos to raise this baby . philip : it 's got nothing to do with deimos ... and everything to do with you and me . chloe : i do n't know what you mean . philip : when we were pretending to be a couple , at some point , it stopped being pretend for me . that 's when i realized , after everything that 's happened between us , good and bad ... i love you , chloe . chloe : i did n't expect this -- philip : you do n't have to say that you love me too or even that you do n't . i just needed to get it out there , and you need to let it sink in and ... just know that whatever happens , i got your back . chad : um , sorry . i think -- i think you 've had too much champagne . vicky : just high on you . chad : i 'm so -- mm , oh , that 's -- [ clears throat ] okay .

[ soft dramatic music ] jj : what you heard ... was probably just the meds , mom , messing with my head . jennifer : no , i thought about that . it 's just , you were so agitated . and when you said you were sorry , it was so intense that i got the feeling you felt guilty about something . jj : okay , well , it 's not like i do n't have plenty to feel guilty about when it comes to gabi . we do n't spend enough time together . and she 's always worried and does n't get any sleep when i 'm on patrol . then there 's me getting shot and putting her even more on edge about my job . what i said , it could 've been any one of those things . jennifer : yeah , right . jj : mom , it 's not a big deal , okay ? just forget about it . jennifer : well , i wish i could . jj : you did n't tell gabi about this , did you ? jennifer : no , i did n't , but i talked to kayla about it -- jj : what ? why would you tell her ? jennifer : because she 's your doctor . and she did tell me that agitation was normal when you suffered trauma like that , yes . jj : okay , mom , please , do n't tell anyone else . i 'm begging you . jennifer : you 're begging me ? honey , i know you . i can tell by the way you 're reacting that -- that you are not being honest with me . jj : i told you it was nothing ! jennifer : okay . i 'm not trying to cause trouble between you and gabi . but if you are hiding something , you need to deal with it . okay , i 'm gon na stop now . but i want you to think about what i said , jj . jj : mom . i ca n't lie to you . i cheated on gabi . we all need a hug in the morning chad : yeah , but that 's the package i 'm offering and not a single share more , so either he accepts it , or he 's out .

[ soft music ] nicole : i still do n't know why chloe called me to meet up with her . i mean , first i thought it was because she was actually gon na tell me who the father was , and then she saw you , and she lashed out . some things were said , and it got ugly . deimos : you chose me -- your loyalty to me over your friendship with her . when i asked you if you were coming , you did n't even hesitate -- just like you did n't hesitate bringing me with you . nicole : i was n't gon na keep you in the dark again . deimos : [ sighs ] then that tells me , more than anything , not only do you still care . there 's still a chance for us .

[ chuckles nervously ] wow . um ... i 'm sorry . you 're , um -- you 're a very beautiful , uh , woman , vicky . but you 're married , and you 're married to a man that i want to do business with , so ... vicky : you 're wise to remember that . chad : i 'm sorry ? vicky : well , if you want to seal the deal with bradley , you need to do the same with me . chad : i 'm not sure i follow what you 're saying . vicky : then let me make it crystal clear . either you and i get to know each other better , or you find another investor . gabi : get off of him ! sorry , vicky . chad belongs to me .Summarize.[/INST]jj was home from the hospital . jennifer asked him what he meant when he was apologizing at the hospital . nicole , chloe , and deimos were at the doctor 's office waiting for the paternity test results . jj tried to downplay what he said while he was in a coma , but jennifer did n't believe him . jj finally confessed that he cheated on gabi . jj explained when he cheated on gabi . nicole wanted chloe to tell her about the father of her baby . nicole reminded chloe that deimos wanted to be a father and that he 's changed . chloe wanted to know if nicole loved him . chloe tried to convince nicole that he has n't changed , but she did n't believe it . deimos found out that he 's not the father of chloe 's baby . deimos felt sorry for the baby and the father because chloe was n't going to let them spend time together . deimos asked nicole to go with him and she left the office with him . chloe called philip so he could meet her .</s> | 8,968 |

[ scene_break ] jason : has there been anything else you found out about dr. keenan after the fact ? elizabeth : the night i checked myself into shadybrook , i thought he was a fellow patient and not the doctor who was supposed to be treating me . jason : was n't it important you to know that ? elizabeth : dr. keenan is a very unorthodox psychiatrist . he wanted me to relate to him as a person and not have to edit myself . it does n't matter anyway , because i checked myself out of there before he had a chance to treat me . jason : yeah , it just seems kind of strange . elizabeth : my point is , he 's been nothing but kind and decent , and if there 's been any hesitation on getting involved with him , it 's been my own history . aiden : [ squeals ] elizabeth : hey , look who 's waking up . hi , buddy . are you hungry ?

[ scene_break ] starr : why would you cancel `` mob princess `` if it brought you and kristina together ? trey : i do n't know . look , maybe i just do n't have the stomach for reality tv . you -- you have to manipulate the footage to hook the audience . you have to create a villain , which , in this case , was supposed to be her father . starr : right . i thought kristina did n't care about that . trey : she may try to deny it , but she would have been hurt to see her father portrayed that way . so it 's better for her if we just stop production . starr : a kinder , gentler trey ? trey : that 's me . starr : come on ! i watched you work your butt off to create that show , and now you 're just giving it up ? trey : i 'm fine with it . starr : no , you 're not . something else is ticking you off , because you , my friend , are desperately unhappy . trey : and you care ? starr : yeah . yeah , actually , i do . so , tell me , what is going on ? trey : it 's my father .

[ scene_break ] sonny : trey 's always running at the mouth , working some kind of angle . he -- he convinced himself that he 's the smartest guy in the room . so why would he cancel the series that 's gon na make him money ? dante : any chance you made things a little uncomfortable ? sonny : no , i could have made it worse for him -- equipment failure . he 's using a non - union crew . i did n't lift a finger . dante : maybe there were complications you do n't know about . sonny : kristina has badgered mostly everybody in the family except michael to sign a release . it 's a done deal . so this trey guy -- he 's got his eye on a bigger payoff . dante : well , then , let me look into it . sonny : no , no , no , because you got too much on your plate . listen to me . kristina -- we 're -- we 're kind of on better terms . i do n't want to rock the boat , you know , give her another reason to be mad at her parents . [ scene_break ] kristina : trey could have made a name for himself and money , but he -- he gave it all up because he honestly cares about me , and i know that you think it 's impossible for anyone to care about me . alexis : you know that 's not true . kristina : you and dad have no faith in me at all . alexis : of course we do . kristina : i was n't smart enough to get into yale , and now i 'm not smart enough to see through trey . i 'm just -- i 'm just a clueless loser who goes for guys who just want to use me , right ? alexis : wrong . you had a bad experience , and your father and i are just trying to protect you . kristina : protect me ? by lying to me , letting me believe i achieved something when i did n't ? you know what that tells me , mom ? that tells me you just do n't think i can handle disappointment and certainly not a relationship . alexis : listen . af -- after everything that happened with you and kiefer , you ca n't blame me for trying so hard . kristina : you think someone smarter or stronger would have broken up with kiefer the first time he hit me . alexis : no , i do n't think that , because you were manipulated . you were victimized . kristina : i do n't want to be a victim . i want to live my own life . i want to make my own choices , my own decisions , and deal with the consequences . but i 'm unable to do that until you and dad let me go . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't mean to question how you feel . if dr. keenan makes you happy , you -- you should go for it . elizabeth : i 'm not sure i 'm gon na go for it . jason : well , i just mean i - i wish i would have known that he was out at wyndemere , that -- that he kept it a secret , that he was working for helena cassadine . elizabeth : from what ewen told me , it was the daughter who hired him and he never even had contact with helena . jason : still , weird . elizabeth : please do n't make it more than it is .

[ sniffs ] mmm . i 've missed that . mcbain : sacrifices we make for our kids . you did n't have to bring me a coffee . sam : oh . well , it 's the least i could do after you saved my life . alexis : how are you doing ? mac : not good . all i 'm doing is thinking about maxie -- you know , my little girl locked up in pentonville for the next 20 years . alexis : we 're not giving up . mac : and then there 's felicia , who suddenly wants to be maxie 's mother again . spinelli : maxie is as courageous as she is beautiful . s she 'll survive this . felicia : 20 years in prison ? matt : we 're gon na get her out . felicia : how ? matt : i do n't know . but she 's innocent . she did n't kill niles . felicia : can you prove that ? matt : we just have to find out who really did . alexis : i understand how you feel , mac , but i think right now it 's important to focus on maxie and not get sidetracked about issues that are unresolved with felicia . mac : uh , look , sorry , alexis . i got to go , all right ? there 's something i got to deal with . you wanted to see starr manning , commissioner ? mac : yeah , thanks . you got a visitor . starr : a visitor ? mac : in here . starr : dad ? todd : hey , shorty . mac : i 'll give you two a few minutes . starr : what are you doing here ? todd : i came to see you . felicia : you spoke with mac ? alexis : i did . felicia : does he still hate my guts ? alexis : he 's had a long night . felicia : i 'll take that as a yes . alexis : look , he 's understandably upset and angry . felicia : yes , and i deserve all that anger , but it 's not going to help maxie . spinelli : indeed . we should be focusing our resources on proving he innocence . perhaps if we go over the events of the night once more -- felicia : keep working on that , spinelli . i 'm going to clear the air with mac . alexis : good luck . felicia : thank you . maxie 's lucky to have you fighting for her . do n't give up . keep trying to find he real killer . matt : yeah , we will . kate : it 's -- it 's me . it 's kate . olivia : glad to hear it . kate : i 'm very happy that you 're here . olivia : the doctor called me . kate : dr. keenan ? olivia : no . dr. keenan is still unconscious because of the paperweight you smashed over his head . kate : [ exhales sharply ] that was n't me , liv . olivia : yeah , well , the cops seem to think it was . kate : i know -- i know that sounds crazy , but it was -- it was connie . olivia : so i hear . kate : it 's a real condition , liv -- olivia : okay . you know what ? i 'm hearing a lot of fancy medical terms here . uh , you 're gon na forgive me if i 'm a little bit skeptical . this would n't be the first time you reinvented yourself to get what you wanted . sonny : if i had known you were calling about kate , i would n't have shown . jason : she needed to talk to you . sonny : yeah , we talked . we talked . she told me her long , sad story about -- blacking out and -- and not remembering where she wakes up . jason : she tell you why ? sonny : yeah . yeah . she explained to me that she has , you know , a split personality , and -- kate disappears , connie comes out . jason : what do you think ? sonny : i do n't believe a damn word . sam : a cup of coffee is n't that much of a thank - you for saving me and my baby . mcbain : the only thing that matters is you 're both okay , speaking of which , should you even be walking around ? i mean , should n't you have your feet up somewhere ? sam : i tried . i get bored easily . mcbain : oh , you get bored easily . sam : yes . mcbain : you were almost shot yesterday . now , i 'm not sure , but i do n't remember that being recommended in any of the baby books that i -- sam : oh ! okay , well , i have n't read that chapter yet . [ chuckles ] mcbain : how you feeling ? sam : i do n't know . i 'm -- i 'm tired . i 'm exhausted . honestly , i did n't get that much sleep last night . the baby was overexcited . mcbain : that 's all the more reason to be resting . sam : [ chuckling ] resting . but , speaking of , is that what you were doing ? mcbain : what ? sam : `` what ? `` did i interrupt something ? were you listening to something ? todd : i heard you were in trouble . starr : did you jump bail again ? todd : no . starr : you escape ? todd : i 'm a free man . starr : what ? how ? todd : check it out . way . it 's one unique cookie . mcbain : you want to know what i was listening to ? sam : yes . mcbain : this is what i was listening to . [ slow jazz plays ] sam : is that -- mcbain : sweet jazz . sam : sweet jazz . mcbain : what ? what 's that ? you -- you do n't like jazz ? sam : no . no , no , no . it 's -- it 's not that . it 's just all [ sighs ] i do n't know . all that music with no words . mcbain : words just got in the way . well , what -- what do you like ? sam : um , i do n't know . i like a lot of things . i guess i can say i 'm more of a rock kind of a gal . [ chuckling ] what can i say ? mcbain : give me your phone . let me see your phone . come on . i 'm gon na give you a couple songs here that may just change your life . sam : i 'm gon na warn you , though . i 'm really not into easy listening . mcbain : oh , there 's nothing easy about monk , coltrane , or miles . play it for the baby . guaranteed to turn them into a soulful little wonder . sam : [ chuckles ] i 'll settle for something that wears my baby down so i can get a little bit of rest . mcbain : you 'll sleep better tonight . it takes a few days to decompress . sam : after almost getting killed ? mcbain : it was n't gon na happen , sam . sam : when ronnie jammed that gun into my side -- at -- at the baby -- i really ca n't stop thinking about it -- what if something happened to my child ? mcbain : welcome to parenthood . sam : just when i found out that the baby was franco 's -- i was so focused on whether or not jason could love the child . i never really stopped to ask myself the same question -- can i love my baby ? and i - i really did n't know the answer un -- until now . jason : i know it 's hard when you 're angry to listen . you know , sometimes you miss something important . sonny : well , i did n't miss kate lying in johnny 's bed . jason : was it kate ? sonny : was it kate ? i saw her with my own two eyes . i mean , you want to believe this double - personality thing , that 's fine -- that it was connie banging johnny and not kate . jason : i know that you 've seen the same things i have -- times when kate is not kate . sonny : i did n't know her as well as i thought i did . jason : i think you did . i think she 's the woman who stood by you last summer , stood by you through the trial . sonny : why are you defending her ? you were the first person to realize that she was hiding something . she throws you under the bus , says you were hostile , you scared her . i ca n't believe that i tore into you over her lies . jason : when i found her at the airport yesterday -- everything about her was different . the w -- just listen to me . the way she stood , the way she spoke , the words she used . kate would never , ever talk that way . sonny : you were stopping her from skipping town . jason : yeah , i was stopping her . i had ahold of her , she got upset , she pushed me away , she fell into a seat , and something changed . she had n't even known i - i was there . sonny : she was playing you . jason : no , she was n't playing me . i saw her go from connie to kate . sonny : you are the last person i would expect -- jason : it happened right in front of me , sonny . when she became kate , she was scared . she had no idea she was in the airport , no idea where she was going . she stopped fighting me immediately , asked me to help her and get her to the hospital . all she wanted was to see you . olivia : when you were 19 , you decided you did n't want to be connie falconeri anymore , so you left the old neighborhood , you turned your back on your entire family , and you just pretended that that life never existed . kate : but i did n't leave connie behind . i did n't realize it at the time , but she was always in my head , just waiting to come out . olivia : or maybe you just needed a break , huh ? pick up a couple of hot guys , do all the things that kate howard could never do , huh ? kate : betray sonny ? attack an -- an innocent doctor ? olivia : maybe the affair with johnny got out of control . you knew you were gon na get caught , so this split - personality thing seemed like a really good cover story . kate : connie is real , and when she takes over , it 's definitely not a choice . olivia : so you 're telling me that you have absolutely no control over this other person that 's inside of you ? kate : no . i have no choice . connie is crazy . she betrayed sonny , she attacked dr. keenan . she is dangerous , olivia . she is the reason that i 'm locked up . starr : you own the paper . you can have them print whatever you want on it . todd : oh , there 's no question , but this headline actually happens to be true . i was found not guilty by a jury of my peers , which is hard to imagine -- right ? -- that i have peers . you should have seen the look on nora buchanan 's face when the verdict came in . starr : so you murdered your own brother and they just find you innocent ? todd : no , not innocent , just not guilty -- by reason of insanity . starr : you 're not insane . todd : well , that remains to be seen . but my attorney was able to establish that i was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder , on account of my mother never loved me and held me captive and tortured me . starr : so it 's okay -- that makes it okay for you to kill victor ? todd : i know it 's not okay with you , starr . i 'm sorry . when i pulled the trigger , i - i did n't even -- i did n't remember shooting the guy . starr : so when you were lying to get me to bust you out , you were n't really lying , you just did n't remember ? todd : i did not remember at the time . starr : how about kidnapping tomás and framing him ? do you remember that ? todd : of course i remember that . who could forget something like that ? he kidnapped me first . starr : so everything that you did to tomás , they found you not guilty ? todd : that 's right ? not guilty on all counts . my lawyer -- i gave him a check . i think he can now go buy himself -- starr : you 're not even sorry for what you did ! todd : the only thing that i 'm sorry is that while this latest llanview lunatics with pitchforks were coming after me -- while that was going on , i 'm sorry that i was n't here for you when you were clearly in need of me . starr : i do n't need you . todd : oh , you do . you 're just mad . there 's a difference . but you need me , starr . you 're in a lot of trouble here , but i 'm gon na make it all go away . mac : i 'm busy , felicia . felicia : we need to talk . mac : i said everything i needed to say at maxie 's sentencing . felicia : i know you think i 'm a horrible mother who was never there for maxie or georgie . mac : i think you 're misguided . i think you made a choice to pursue your own happiness at the expense of your kids and now you regret it . matt : why are you looking at me like that ? ! wh -- spinelli : i 'm just waiting for your next idea . matt : i do n't have one . but i also do n't think going over what happened on the boat for the 900th time is gon na help us . spinelli : is there any other way to free maxie ? alexis : she refused to recant her confession . we need to find the real killer . that 's her only hope . spinelli : finding him is n't the hard part . alexis : what did you say ? spinelli : nothing of importance . matt : please do not tell me you 're getting into this business with my brother killing lisa again . spinelli : i was n't referring to patrick . [ groans ] spinelli : every day that maxie spends incarcerated takes a piece of my soul . i would gladly expose the real killer . alexis : which implies that you know the killer 's identity . do you , or is it just wishful detecting ? news announcer : we have learned that hostages lesley lu spencer -- alexis : is that sam ? news announcer : -- and samantha mccall morgan were abducted and held at gunpoint by detective ronnie dimestico of the port charles police department , who is now alleged to be responsible for attacks on at least six other women in the port charles area . mrs. falconeri was rescued by her husband , dante falconeri . mrs. falconeri was treated for what was described as a minor gunshot wound . mrs. morgan and her unborn child were rescued by lieutenant john mcbain of the llanview , pennsylvania , police department . the police commissioner has not yet issued a statement , but the sources inside the pcpd indicate that lieutenant mcbain was part of an independent investigation and was only drawn into the standoff in an effort to rescue mrs. morgan . [ tv volume decreases ] alexis : at least we know she 's all right . spinelli : stone cold must be greatly relieved , while not thrilled at the identity of her rescuer . sam : jason ca n't promise to love the baby , but i can and i do , more than anything else in this world . my child has n't even been born yet , and i already ca n't imagine my life without it . mcbain : sometimes it takes almost losing something to realize how much it means to you . sam : it did n't work that way for jason , though . i do n't know if he 'll ever be able to get past the way this child was conceived -- what franco did to us . mcbain : you know , you , um -- you moved out to give him some time to think about that . sam : i did . what -- i mean , what if that does n't change anything ? if jason ca n't love my child , i ca n't -- i ca n't be with him -- [ scoffs ] -- which means i 'm alone . mcbain : hey . you 're not alone . according to the pcpd , the suspect ignored several warnings from lieutenant mcbain before lieutenant mcbain opened fire , killing the suspect instantly . alexis : i can not believe all of this was going on while i was why did n't sam call me ? security cameras at the haunted star caught the dramatic events as they unfolded . spinelli : security cameras . more on this story today at 5 : 00 , when the pcpd will issue a statement on the allegations against detective dimestico . [ tv shuts off ] spinelli : that 's it . matt : that 's what ? todd : did you , in fact , try and kill sonny corinthos ? starr : why do you sound surprised ? i 'm my father 's daughter . todd : i 'm surprised because you 're better than me , starr . starr : and you wanted to kill sonny , so i was just finishing what you started . todd : why ? starr : everyone keeps telling me that i 'm going to feel better , but i never do , and i keep -- i keep having these dreams . i used to have these dreams about cole and hope , but now i ca n't even sleep . every time i close my eyes , i keep seeing the headlights , and i - i keep hearing the car skidding into the guardrail . todd : i 'm sorry . starr : i just want it all to stop . i want it all to stop . i want -- i want to be able to sleep again , and i want to be able to see cole and hope and just be with them , at least in my dreams . todd : yeah . but , starr -- starr : [ sighs ] todd : i 've killed more than my share of people , and -- and you got to trust me , that in the long run , in the big picture , killing sonny is n't gon na make you feel any better . starr : but you wanted to kill sonny . you were going to kill him . todd : and i would have , believe me . the only reason that i lowered by gun was because you asked me to . starr : that 's because i wanted to pull the trigger . i wanted him to die . todd : starr , i 'm your father , and i 'm not gon na lie to you . you are gon na feel this loss for the rest of your life . it will always be there . it 's like -- you 're someone that has to live with that , the way other people live with a limp or with m - missing an eye . but the good news is , for -- for people who are stupid enough to have feelings , is that they do n't last forever . none of them do . but prison feels like it 's gon na last forever , believe me . i 've been to prison , and that is not someplace where you should go . starr : you belong in prison . todd : perhaps . but we 're gon na get you out of here . starr : no , we 're not . there 's no way out . jason : the cops were waiting for kate when i got to the hospital . sonny : she used the paperweight to coldcock her shrink . jason : does that sound like something kate would do ? sonny : he was gon na send her to an insane asylum . jason : kate would n't get violent , but connie would . sonny : i do n't give a damn ! i do n't give a damn -- what she calls herself . i saw her in bed with johnny zacchara . i ca n't get that image out of my head ! nobody does that to me and gets away with it . kate : i know it 's difficult to understand . it took me a long time to believe it myself . olivia : you hurt a lot of people . kate : it was n't me . i did not attack dr. keenan , i did not sleep with johnny , and i want you to know that i would never come on to steve . i would never go after your man . olivia : yeah , but you would -- and you did -- back when were teenagers . kate : back when i was connie . but the woman i am now , kate howard , is in love with sonny . and , olivia , i swear to you i would never intentionally hurt you . olivia : that is the least of what you did to me . kate : there 's more ? olivia : steve is in serious legal trouble . the memphis cops are accusing him of killing one of his patients . kate : oh , no . olivia : i came to you for help -- to borrow some money for a lawyer , for bail . you basically laughed in my face and threw a dollar bill at me . kate : i 'm sorry . i - i had -- i had no idea . olivia : it 's convenient how that works . kate : liv , i have no memory of happens when connie takes over . connie turned you away . i did n't . i would never , ever do that to you . olivia : but the thing is , you did . jason : i was at the hospital this morning , and i spoke to the psychiatrist who 's treating kate . and she said kate has all the signs of multiple personalities . sonny : then kate has two personalities i ca n't trust . jason : come on , sonny . out -- out of all -- out of everybody , you should have -- you should have some compassion . sonny : what is that supposed to mean ? jason : kate has a mental illness . so do you . achoo ! nasal allergy symptoms todd : starr , there 's always a way out of trouble . it 's just your word against sonny 's . starr : there was someone else there . todd : really ? starr : i brought sonny to the road where cole -- and hope -- i cocked the gun , and i was about to shoot , and that 's when the person showed up . todd : are you sure that the person saw you with the gun ? starr : they saw everything . he already told his whole story to the police . todd : that could be a problem . starr : it 's ironic , huh ? you get off for actually killing victor , and i 'm going to go to prison for trying to kill sonny . sonny : yeah , i 'm bipolar , but it does n't give you , you know , a free pass to cheat on the person that you love . jason : yeah , but there were a lot of years before you were diagnosed that you said you lost yourself . sonny : it 's not the same , jason . jason : it 's not the same ? you locked yourself in a room , sonny . you broke everything that you could get your hands on . you talked to people who were n't there . i know because i sat with you . and i know you could n't control it any more than kate can control what 's going on right now . sonny : i never made excuses and blamed , you know , somebody else on ruining their lives . and having an imaginary friend -- i never did that . jason : you told me being bipolar , you felt like you were two different people . sonny : kate 's not bipolar . jason : no , she 's not . what she has is worse . kate is in a lot of trouble . her life is a mess , and it 's nothing she chose . i understand that you 're angry . can you try to understand that she 's sick ? kate : i broke his heart . i humiliated sonny . and now i - i learn that i alienated you . you know , i could have -- i could have done something . i could have admitted myself to shadybrook , but i was too afraid and i was too proud . maybe i 'm getting what i deserve . olivia : no . honey -- kate : do n't .

and i - i really did n't know the answer un -- until now . jason : i know it 's hard when you 're angry to listen . you know , sometimes you miss something important . sonny : well , i did n't miss kate lying in johnny 's bed . jason : was it kate ? sonny : was it kate ? i saw her with my own two eyes . i mean , you want to believe this double - personality thing , that 's fine -- that it was connie banging johnny and not kate . jason : i know that you 've seen the same things i have -- times when kate is not kate . sonny : i did n't know her as well as i thought i did . jason : i think you did . i think she 's the woman who stood by you last summer , stood by you through the trial . sonny : why are you defending her ? you were the first person to realize that she was hiding something . she throws you under the bus , says you were hostile , you scared her . i ca n't believe that i tore into you over her lies . jason : when i found her at the airport yesterday -- everything about her was different . the w -- just listen to me . the way she stood , the way she spoke , the words she used . kate would never , ever talk that way . sonny : you were stopping her from skipping town . jason : yeah , i was stopping her . i had ahold of her , she got upset , she pushed me away , she fell into a seat , and something changed . she had n't even known i - i was there . sonny : she was playing you . jason : no , she was n't playing me . i saw her go from connie to kate . sonny : you are the last person i would expect -- jason : it happened right in front of me , sonny . when she became kate , she was scared . she had no idea she was in the airport , no idea where she was going . she stopped fighting me immediately , asked me to help her and get her to the hospital . all she wanted was to see you . olivia : when you were 19 , you decided you did n't want to be connie falconeri anymore , so you left the old neighborhood , you turned your back on your entire family , and you just pretended that that life never existed . kate : but i did n't leave connie behind . i did n't realize it at the time , but she was always in my head , just waiting to come out . olivia : or maybe you just needed a break , huh ? pick up a couple of hot guys , do all the things that kate howard could never do , huh ? kate : betray sonny ? attack an -- an innocent doctor ? olivia : maybe the affair with johnny got out of control . you knew you were gon na get caught , so this split - personality thing seemed like a really good cover story . kate : connie is real , and when she takes over , it 's definitely not a choice . olivia : so you 're telling me that you have absolutely no control over this other person that 's inside of you ? kate : no . i have no choice . connie is crazy . she betrayed sonny , she attacked dr. keenan . she is dangerous , olivia . she is the reason that i 'm locked up . starr : you own the paper . you can have them print whatever you want on it . todd : oh , there 's no question , but this headline actually happens to be true . i was found not guilty by a jury of my peers , which is hard to imagine -- right ? -- that i have peers . you should have seen the look on nora buchanan 's face when the verdict came in . starr : so you murdered your own brother and they just find you innocent ? todd : no , not innocent , just not guilty -- by reason of insanity . starr : you 're not insane . todd : well , that remains to be seen . but my attorney was able to establish that i was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder , on account of my mother never loved me and held me captive and tortured me . starr : so it 's okay -- that makes it okay for you to kill victor ? todd : i know it 's not okay with you , starr . i 'm sorry . when i pulled the trigger , i - i did n't even -- i did n't remember shooting the guy . starr : so when you were lying to get me to bust you out , you were n't really lying , you just did n't remember ? todd : i did not remember at the time . starr : how about kidnapping tomás and framing him ? do you remember that ? todd : of course i remember that . who could forget something like that ? he kidnapped me first . starr : so everything that you did to tomás , they found you not guilty ? todd : that 's right ? not guilty on all counts . my lawyer -- i gave him a check . i think he can now go buy himself -- starr : you 're not even sorry for what you did ! todd : the only thing that i 'm sorry is that while this latest llanview lunatics with pitchforks were coming after me -- while that was going on , i 'm sorry that i was n't here for you when you were clearly in need of me . starr : i do n't need you . todd : oh , you do . you 're just mad . there 's a difference . but you need me , starr . you 're in a lot of trouble here , but i 'm gon na make it all go away . mac : i 'm busy , felicia . felicia : we need to talk . mac : i said everything i needed to say at maxie 's sentencing . felicia : i know you think i 'm a horrible mother who was never there for maxie or georgie . mac : i think you 're misguided . i think you made a choice to pursue your own happiness at the expense of your kids and now you regret it . matt : why are you looking at me like that ? ! wh -- spinelli : i 'm just waiting for your next idea . matt : i do n't have one . but i also do n't think going over what happened on the boat for the 900th time is gon na help us . spinelli : is there any other way to free maxie ? alexis : she refused to recant her confession . we need to find the real killer . that 's her only hope . spinelli : finding him is n't the hard part . alexis : what did you say ? spinelli : nothing of importance . matt : please do not tell me you 're getting into this business with my brother killing lisa again . spinelli : i was n't referring to patrick .

[ tv volume decreases ] alexis : at least we know she 's all right . spinelli : stone cold must be greatly relieved , while not thrilled at the identity of her rescuer . sam : jason ca n't promise to love the baby , but i can and i do , more than anything else in this world . my child has n't even been born yet , and i already ca n't imagine my life without it . mcbain : sometimes it takes almost losing something to realize how much it means to you . sam : it did n't work that way for jason , though . i do n't know if he 'll ever be able to get past the way this child was conceived -- what franco did to us . mcbain : you know , you , um -- you moved out to give him some time to think about that . sam : i did . what -- i mean , what if that does n't change anything ? if jason ca n't love my child , i ca n't -- i ca n't be with him -- [ scoffs ] -- which means i 'm alone . mcbain : hey . you 're not alone . according to the pcpd , the suspect ignored several warnings from lieutenant mcbain before lieutenant mcbain opened fire , killing the suspect instantly . alexis : i can not believe all of this was going on while i was why did n't sam call me ? security cameras at the haunted star caught the dramatic events as they unfolded . spinelli : security cameras . more on this story today at 5 : 00 , when the pcpd will issue a statement on the allegations against detective dimestico .

starr : everyone keeps telling me that i 'm going to feel better , but i never do , and i keep -- i keep having these dreams . i used to have these dreams about cole and hope , but now i ca n't even sleep . every time i close my eyes , i keep seeing the headlights , and i - i keep hearing the car skidding into the guardrail . todd : i 'm sorry . starr : i just want it all to stop . i want it all to stop . i want -- i want to be able to sleep again , and i want to be able to see cole and hope and just be with them , at least in my dreams . todd : yeah . but , starr -- starr : [ sighs ] todd : i 've killed more than my share of people , and -- and you got to trust me , that in the long run , in the big picture , killing sonny is n't gon na make you feel any better . starr : but you wanted to kill sonny . you were going to kill him . todd : and i would have , believe me . the only reason that i lowered by gun was because you asked me to . starr : that 's because i wanted to pull the trigger . i wanted him to die . todd : starr , i 'm your father , and i 'm not gon na lie to you . you are gon na feel this loss for the rest of your life . it will always be there . it 's like -- you 're someone that has to live with that , the way other people live with a limp or with m - missing an eye . but the good news is , for -- for people who are stupid enough to have feelings , is that they do n't last forever . none of them do . but prison feels like it 's gon na last forever , believe me . i 've been to prison , and that is not someplace where you should go . starr : you belong in prison . todd : perhaps . but we 're gon na get you out of here . starr : no , we 're not . there 's no way out . jason : the cops were waiting for kate when i got to the hospital . sonny : she used the paperweight to coldcock her shrink . jason : does that sound like something kate would do ? sonny : he was gon na send her to an insane asylum . jason : kate would n't get violent , but connie would . sonny : i do n't give a damn ! i do n't give a damn -- what she calls herself . i saw her in bed with johnny zacchara . i ca n't get that image out of my head ! nobody does that to me and gets away with it . kate : i know it 's difficult to understand . it took me a long time to believe it myself . olivia : you hurt a lot of people . kate : it was n't me . i did not attack dr. keenan , i did not sleep with johnny , and i want you to know that i would never come on to steve . i would never go after your man . olivia : yeah , but you would -- and you did -- back when were teenagers . kate : back when i was connie . but the woman i am now , kate howard , is in love with sonny . and , olivia , i swear to you i would never intentionally hurt you . olivia : that is the least of what you did to me . kate : there 's more ? olivia : steve is in serious legal trouble . the memphis cops are accusing him of killing one of his patients . kate : oh , no . olivia : i came to you for help -- to borrow some money for a lawyer , for bail . you basically laughed in my face and threw a dollar bill at me . kate : i 'm sorry . i - i had -- i had no idea . olivia : it 's convenient how that works . kate : liv , i have no memory of happens when connie takes over . connie turned you away . i did n't . i would never , ever do that to you . olivia : but the thing is , you did . jason : i was at the hospital this morning , and i spoke to the psychiatrist who 's treating kate . and she said kate has all the signs of multiple personalities . sonny : then kate has two personalities i ca n't trust . jason : come on , sonny . out -- out of all -- out of everybody , you should have -- you should have some compassion . sonny : what is that supposed to mean ?

starr : they saw everything . he already told his whole story to the police . todd : that could be a problem . starr : it 's ironic , huh ? you get off for actually killing victor , and i 'm going to go to prison for trying to kill sonny . sonny : yeah , i 'm bipolar , but it does n't give you , you know , a free pass to cheat on the person that you love . jason : yeah , but there were a lot of years before you were diagnosed that you said you lost yourself . sonny : it 's not the same , jason . jason : it 's not the same ? you locked yourself in a room , sonny . you broke everything that you could get your hands on . you talked to people who were n't there . i know because i sat with you . and i know you could n't control it any more than kate can control what 's going on right now . sonny : i never made excuses and blamed , you know , somebody else on ruining their lives . and having an imaginary friend -- i never did that . jason : you told me being bipolar , you felt like you were two different people . sonny : kate 's not bipolar . jason : no , she 's not . what she has is worse . kate is in a lot of trouble . her life is a mess , and it 's nothing she chose . i understand that you 're angry . can you try to understand that she 's sick ?

it 's up to you . quinn : have you heard from him ? ridge : from my dad ? no . quinn : neither has steffy . ridge : what did you say to steffy ? quinn : what ? i did n't say anything to her . i told her that eric and i had a fight . ridge : [ groans ] quinn : i would never say anything to her or to anyone about what happened between you and me . ridge : i guess it does n't matter . it 's all gon na come out . my dad is not good at keeping secrets . the last one he kept , and not for very long , was you . ridge : i 've been sitting here calling dad 's oldest friends , trying to ask without asking , and no one knows where he is . quinn : do you think she 's gon na hurt him ? ridge : sheila ? she hurts anyone that says no to her . quinn : i said worse than that . quinn : well , then you 're one of the lucky ones . if she shows up again , just give her what she wants . do n't argue with her . steffy : that should do it till we get you to a doctor . liam : we can take my car , too . eric : well , that gun of stephanie 's stays here . sheila : what are -- what are you gon na tell the doctor when he asks what happened ?

'cause it has n't worked so far . quinn : i know you 're freaked out , ridge , but i am not your enemy . ridge : things were a lot easier when you were . steffy : you expect me to believe you just happen to be staying down the hall ? sheila : yes . not because i said so . i know i have no credibility with you , but eric does , and he would n't lie to you . he just did n't want to give you an answer , steffy . eric : how did it go ? liam : uh , two cops in the lobby talking to the security guy , but honestly , they do n't look that interested , so ... saline , ointment , paper tape , gauze ... you okay ? sheila : yeah . yeah . i 'm gon na be fine . i 'm -- i 'm just gon na change the dressing . steffy : granddad , i want you to come home . eric : no . steffy : when , then ? eric : i choose not to . steffy : look , i know that you are a father and that you are a husband and you have a world - famous face . everybody knows you . eric : not here , they do n't . steffy : so you just want to be under the radar ? eric : yeah . that 's right . steffy : okay . eric : for a while . steffy : then why do n't you stay at the guest house with dad ? eric : i doubt very much he 's still there . steffy : since when ? eric : look , i appreciate your concern , but this is the way i want it , all right ? steffy : did you and quinn have an argument ? eric : that 's private . steffy : she 's frantic about you . eric : not my problem . steffy : then why did n't you just kick her out ? why -- why are n't you staying at the house instead ? eric : you know , sometimes , it 's not about who 's right or who gets the spoils . sometime it 's just about needing some space between each other . i 'm sure liam understands about that . liam : i take it she revealed her true colors somehow . steffy : sheila , i know you know what 's going on , why granddad 's staying here with you , all of people . tell me . answer me . eric : or what ? steffy : when i think about this situation , you say that you 're not in trouble . this looks like trouble . how do i not know she 's holding you hostage ? eric : you 're just gon na have to trust me . and i 'm gon na have to trust you . and you . nobody can know where i 'm staying . steffy : okay , except dad , yeah . fine . eric : no . especially not your father . steffy : why ? when -- when i asked you what was going on , you said ask my dad . eric : oh , you can ask him anything you want . but you may not tell him where i am . steffy : why ? eric : because that 's the way i want it . steffy : [ scoffs ] i need answers . eric : because you 're more trustworthy than he is . promise . or you wo n't find me here again . you wo n't find me at all . steffy : i -- all right . liam : yes , sir . steffy : okay , i , um ... i 'm , uh , gon na head out . i need some air . come here . sheila : she loves you . eric : yeah . yeah , she does . if she knew anything about any of this , it would just -- [ sighs ] anyway , thank you . sheila : you know , it just -- it was n't my story to tell . eric : well , her next stop will be ridge , of course . he 'll have a story to tell . i 'm sorry . this -- this never should have happened . sheila : [ laughing ] well , a lot of people probably thought this should have happened a long time ago . i 've been through a lot worse since you and i parted ways . eric : and come out the better for it somehow . sheila : i hope so . it 's not for me to say . sheila : [ inhales sharply ] eric : wow . you 're lucky it just grazed you . does it sting ? sheila : not when you do it . eric : oh , you 've always been quite the flatterer , have n't you ? give me this . so , this tape over the gauze will be enough , right ? sheila : yep . that 'll protect it . you 're good at this . eric : yeah . well , i got a lot of practice . sheila : you never could take a compliment . eric : i never forget one , either . sheila : well , i can handle a little pain . you might remember that . eric : mm , i have no idea what you 're talking about . sheila : are you gon na shave your beard ? eric : no , i do n't think i am . i might trim it up a little , but that 's all . sheila : [ laughs ] good . because you look so handsome and worldly with that . eric : thank you . sheila : but you better shave something because that razor almost was the death of me . eric : i feel pretty bad about that . i know steffy does , too . sheila : well , i was making a joke . no , quinn is the one who put the idea in steffy 's mind that i was carrying . eric : i 'm sure . sheila : well , i 'm not sure it was all entirely her fault , though , because i did n't let her believe otherwise . eric : well , i hope there are no further confrontations between you two . sheila : i understand that feelings do n't go away overnight . eric : quinn has a history of being ... erratic . clearly , she has n't gotten over that -- not yet . sheila : well , far be it from me to judge her on her past history . you know , when i was in prison , serving my time , i -- i fantasized about moments like this , just being alone with you . of course , in my fantasies , i did n't have blood running down my arm . although , in your fantasies , maybe i did . eric : [ chuckles ] no . sheila : it 's good to see you smile . but i do judge her -- quinn -- and ridge for what they did behind your back . you deserve so much better than that . eric : nice guys finish last , eh ? sheila : what makes you think you 're finished ? ridge : perfect . my jedi knight tricks are working . steffy : oh , yeah ? ridge : yeah , i think of the one person i would actually like to see today , and here she is . steffy : how did i rise to that elevated status ? ridge : what are you doing ? steffy : what ? everybody does it . ridge : you do n't . steffy : well , i had a rough day . fortunately , we did n't have to bury any bodies . you know granddad disappeared , right ? i can see that you do . ridge : well , he 's not here and he 's not at home , so ... steffy : mm . why would n't we call the police , file a missing persons report ? what if quinn offed him ? ridge : you think she did ? steffy : granddad left with sheila . ridge : well , then he 's not missing , he 's just lost his mind . steffy : quinn 's not blaming sheila . quinn and granddad had a disagreement . ridge : that explains it , then . steffy : a disagreement about what , though ? it must have been pretty bad for granddad to take off with sheila , do n't you think ? ridge : if quinn did n't want to explain it to you , there 's probably -- i do n't know ... steffy : it just seems like your intent is to match stories with quinn . ridge : i 'm not telling you a story . steffy : okay , then , i think you should tell me what 's going on . are quinn and granddad breaking up ? i know you know something , dad . it 's something about you , is n't it ? come on , just tell me . i do n't want to think the unthinkable -- what , you and quinn ? ridge : it 's -- it 's not ... steffy : no , i know you and quinn did n't have an affair . right , dad ?Summarize.[/INST]eric yells at steffy for what she has done . steffy says sheila had a gun in her bag . liam wants to call someone but needs to know what to say . he shows them the bullet hole in the door , the bullet could not have hurt sheila . then sheila shows them her purse and they find the razor . it was not a gun but a razor in her purse . eric says it is not steffy 's judgment if they call the police or not . he asks sheila what she wants to do . quinn questions ridge if his dad has returned to work . he says no and there is no way of knowing if he is with sheila or not . but if she shows up again just give her what she wants . the police knock on the door and all quickly hide sheila and make up a quick story that nothing happened here . the police want to look around . the bathroom door is locked but one policeman sees the bullet hole in the door . sheila comes out dressed in a robe and explains she was ready to take a shower , so the police apologize and leave .</s> | 4,859 |

[ scene_break ] hope : do n't do anything stupid . this is detective hope brady with dr. daniel jonas , july 27 , 2009 . time : 9 : 17 p.m. dr. jonas , have you consented to this interview , and have you been informed of your right to have an attorney present ? daniel : yes . hope : and in doing so , you do realize that anything you say here will be a matter of public record and can and will be used against you in a court of law ? daniel : i have n't done anything legally wrong . hope : but you do understand what i just told you , is that correct ? daniel : i understand . hope : good . so you say you have n't done anything legally wrong . but ... daniel : but at the very least , i 'll admit that i have made some ... some very big mistakes . hope : you think your affair with chloe horton was a mistake ? daniel : oh , i think that ... hope : yes ? daniel : was inevitable . hope : and when she ended the affair , were you angry ? daniel : at the situation , not her . hope : so your theory is that kate roberts found out about the affair and took revenge upon chloe ? daniel : look , i know you find it hard to believe that kate did what i said . hope : you know , it just seems a bit after the fact , do n't you think , daniel ? daniel : i 'm sure it does . but i have missed a few things here . and after thinking about it ... it is a lot more complicated than that . hope : is that why you think kate poisoned chloe ? daniel : what i -- what i 'm saying here is that kate not only resented that chloe and i -- hope : are lovers ? daniel : were lovers ... but worse than that , and certainly from kate 's point of view ... is i still love her . i do n't love kate . chloe does n't love lucas . chloe and i ... love each other . [ scene_break ] lexie : mm , pulse ox is at 96 . she 's tachy at 120 . nathan : [ sighs ] do you think we should intubate ? lexie : uh , i think she 's holding steady . let 's wait and see . i may want to try a new medication . nathan : what , you think there 's a problem with dr. jonas ' antidote ? lexie : it 's not working . nathan : not working ? it saved her life . lexie : uh , it may have just prolonged the inevitable . nathan : i mean , do you really think it could 've been dr. jonas who poisoned her ? lexie : [ sighs ] it is not our job to play cop . it 's our job to save this woman 's life ... if it 's not too late . [ scene_break ] kate : well , you 're gon na find out about everything anyway , so , um ... apparently , they think that chloe was poisoned slowly over a period of time . victor : over a period of time ? kate : mm - hmm . victor : why , kate , that makes it sound like it was intentional . kate : hmm . well , i hate to really say this , but she probably does have a long list of enemies . victor : yeah ? and who would you put at the top of that list ? kate : oh , i would put you , because you hate her even more than i do . victor : but i know i did n't poison her . kate : i think you 're jumping to conclusions , victor . victor : you know who else is going to jump to conclusions ? lucas . kate : do n't be silly . victor : so where is he , by the way ? kate : he 's on a business trip . he had to be called back . victor : so he goes away and leaves you two alone , and chloe ends up at death 's door . [ laughs ] you should n't be worried about what i think , kate . you should be worried about what he 's going to think . he loves that girl . he 's not gon na like it that you killed her . kate : [ breathes deeply ] you do n't think i have that covered ? [ scene_break ] bo : come on , man , i told you this was a priority . i want that report on my desk three hours ago . yeah , right . abe : that did n't sound good . bo : oh , forensics is jerking me around . i think they 're stumped and do n't want me to know it . abe : you pulled jonas in ? bo : yeah , hope 's questioning him right now , but i do n't think we 're gon na get anything we do n't already have . abe : how about a confession ? bo : [ scoffs ] do n't hold your breath , abe . he did n't do it . abe : hmm . and you know that how ? bo : well , he 's freaking out that chloe 's still in danger . he 's scared to death she 's going to die . abe : well , then let him go , because no suspect has ever , ever pretended concern about the victim . bo : jeez , abe , what crawled up your -- abe : listen , commissioner , i 've already had three calls -- two from reporters , one from the state 's attorney general . and they 're all wondering if the police commissioner is going to coddle this suspect like he did his half brother . bo : i am not coddling anyone . i 'm trying to find out what actually happened . abe : you have hard evidence against him . do n't screw this up . as the attorney general so delicately put it ... your ass is on the line . [ scene_break ] hope : so you 're saying that kate 's been obsessing about you and chloe for a very long time . daniel : well , the phone call you say that maggie heard , think about that . do you know how long she must 've been planning this ? hope : you think that was kate 's work ? daniel : i think she taped my voice , maybe spliced it together , something . hope : pretty elaborate plan , would n't you say ? daniel : because she did n't want to just hurt chloe . she wanted to hurt me as well . you know what ? a lot of this -- a lot of this has to do with lucas . hope : lucas ? daniel : oh , yeah . hope : you think he 's involved in this ? daniel : i -- you know what ? i do n't know . but she is weird about her son , like she has to run his life constantly , protect him . hope : so the drug that was found in your apartment , the one in the brownie that chloe ate , you think that kate planted that to incriminate you because of lucas ? daniel : i do n't know . i do n't know . look , that sou -- i know it sounds crazy , but i would never hurt chloe . i love her . hope : even if i believe that , how do i know she felt the same about you , daniel ? i certainly ca n't ask her . daniel : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kate : no change . victor : hmm . maybe you 'd like to slip down to the chapel and pray for a quick demise . kate : okay , seriously , now you need to go home . victor : i thought we were having a nice little chat , enjoying our little deathwatch . kate : just stop . i mean it . go away . victor : before lucas gets here , right ? kate : yes , actually , that 's true . i need to tell him what happened . he 's gon na be here soon . victor : you mean he does n't know ? kate : no , he does n't know . he was on a plane . it was n't voicemail information . i told him to meet me here . victor : so what does he expect , a surprise party at the hospital ? kate : okay , that attitude -- that 's why you need to go . he 's gon na be grief- stricken . he does n't need your sick humor . he knows you hate chloe . victor : you do n't want me here to watch your performance as the distraught mother - in - law . you 're afraid i 'll make you laugh . kate : it 's not funny . he 's gon na be grief - stricken , heartbroken . victor : that 's what you 're worried about , is n't it ? that lucas might be sad . kate : yes . temporarily . but it 's for the best . victor : and that 's your call . kate : no . now it 's in god 's hands . [ scene_break ] meredith : after we talked in the woods ... i do n't do that -- open up like that . sami : well , we have this strong , horrible thing in common . you 're still grieving for her , are n't you ? meredith : if people tell you it gets better , they 're either lying , or they do n't know what they 're talking about . it changes , sure . the pain is n't as sharp . but it 's always there . sami : you two were close , huh ? meredith : [ laughs ] emily could drive me crazy . nobody made me mad like she could . sami : she was n't a pushover . meredith : oh , and she was sure she had all the answers . see , that 's something you ca n't say to somebody who knew her . they think it 's speaking ill of the dead . sami : but it 's not . it 's remembering her for who she really was and that that 's why you loved her . meredith : [ chuckles ] she would make me furious , just furious . then she 'd say something that would make me burst out laughing . that would only make me more mad . sami : she sounds great . it must be really hard moving on without her . meredith : still something will happen , and ... and i 'll think , `` god , i - i have to tell emily about it . `` sami : you told each other everything . meredith : we did ... for a long time . sami : something happened ? meredith : everything changed because of him . sami : him ? meredith : emily 's fiancé ... rafe hernandez .

[ scene_break ] abe : bo , this case is turning into a nightmare . one of the reporters talked about the fact that jonas is your father 's godson . bo : and you think i 'd let that sway me . abe : i 'm saying it could look like it . you know , you 've already had a run - in with internal affairs , and those guys are known to hold grudges . bo : screw them ! look , you want me to arrest a man i do n't think is guilty . abe : i want you to take that mountain of evidence you have against him as seriously as you take your gut ! bo : you know what , abe ? i got a solution to this . fire me . [ scene_break ] hope : you 're spinning what attorneys call an alternative theory of the crime . the problem with that ... you have nothing to back it up . you have n't given me any concrete evidence whatsoever that kate has anything to do with this . daniel : but you think the evidence against me is concrete . she manufactured this . and you do n't believe me . hope : it 's a theory . i do n't believe or disbelieve theories . i consider them . like for instance , i could ... consider another theory . you told me how much you loved chloe . daniel : i still do . hope : and she broke off the affair and chose lucas over you . then look what happened . you resigned from the hospital . you were gon na leave salem , correct ? daniel : look , things changed after all that . we talked . we were gon na be together . hope : so you say . again ... no evidence that was true . and aside from that , it 's kind of contradicted by maggie overhearing the phone call . daniel : no , i know kate did that -- hope : daniel , the phone call , the resignation . that looks like a very angry , rejected man , as in `` if i ca n't have her , no one will , `` kind of man . daniel : not true . that is just not true ! hope : i did n't say it was . it 's a theory . and here 's the big problem . the one person who can tell us which theory to choose ca n't talk . which brings me to another theory . what if chloe knew something ... that someone did n't want her to share ? [ scene_break ] victor : you are incorrigible , kate . you 're marvelous ! kate : you 're still here . victor : i 'm going , i 'm going . kate : victor ... all joking aside , our conversation tonight was private , personal . victor : what you 're asking is will i keep your secret ? kate : [ laughs ] what secret ? victor : do n't worry , kate . i wo n't tell anyone what you did to the ... soon - to- be - departed chloe . matter of fact , i 'll say , `` good girl , nice work . `` see ya at the funeral . kate : always nice seeing you too , victor . victor : how ? kate : excuse me ? victor : i must be losing my touch . when i asked you how you were gon na keep lucas from suspecting you , you said you had that covered . and i did n't ask the next logical question -- how ? how are you gon na keep him and the police from suspecting you ? [ scene_break ] sami : so you , uh ... you did n't like emily 's fiancé ? meredith : no , i did at the beginning . sami : yeah ? meredith : oh , yeah . he was great -- like something out of a movie . he was good- looking and funny , and emily seemed so happy . sami : seemed ? meredith : in the beginning . emily believed he 'd do anything for her . we all believed that . sami : a real hero type , huh ? meredith : yeah . i thought he would die for emily , and she 's the one who died . sami : what happened ? meredith : i ca n't talk about this . sami : no , meredith , come on -- meredith : no , sorry , i ca n't . i ca n't , i just -- i 'm sorry . sami : meredith , just -- [ sigh ] [ scene_break ] abe : i did n't say anything about firing you . bo : it would clear up this problem we 're having . you 'd look objective , decisive , like a politician . abe : would you listen to me ? now , i am not trying to influence this case . i 'm trying to warn you ... that you 're under a lot of scrutiny and whether you like it or not ... appearances matter . bo : all right . gene : commissioner , this just came in from the lab . bo : about time . thanks , gene . abe : that does n't look like good news . bo : not for jonas , it is n't .

[ knock on door ] bo : excuse me . hope : thank you . daniel : what 's that ? hope : i 'm asking the questions here , doctor . why would she say that ? why would she not want you to treat her ? daniel : i think ... i think she was afraid . hope : afraid of you ?

[ whispers ] keep your voice down . victor : so , uh , tell me , kate , is , uh , this some of your handiwork ? kate : why would you say something like that ? victor : you hate her . you hate that she married your son . you hate that she cheated on him . and bad things happen to people who you hate . kate : you know , why do n't you just go on the p.a . and tell the entire hospital about it ? victor : i think the entire hospital 's probably thinking the same thing . kate : no . no , they 're not , because i 've been very careful . i hate you too , you know . victor : so how 'd you do it ? and why is she still alive ? kate : oh , god . doctor , i 'm so sorry , i - i do n't know your name . nathan : horton . yeah , small world , is n't it ? kate : nathan ? nathan : that 's right . and you 're kate roberts and mr. kiriakis , i presume . victor : melissa 's son . nathan : yeah . victor : you look just like her . nathan : oh . kate : dr . carver is in with my daughter - in - law . she 's examining her , and i just wondered if there were any updates . nathan : um , i - i 'll check . i was actually just down in the lab following up on the tox screen . victor : tox screen ? nathan : yeah . it seems , uh , as though dr. jonas has come up with an antidote . but we need to be sure that it 'll be effective with this type of poison . but i - i 'll check with dr . carver , and then i 'll get back to you . kate : thank you . nathan : okay . victor : she was poisoned . kate : [ sighs ] i think he was using the term very loosely . victor : did you give chloe a big , shiny red apple with arsenic in the center ? kate : [ sighs ] why the hell did philip call you ? would you just go home and leave me alone ? victor : i 'm not gon na leave now . we 're just getting to the good part . kate : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sami : you know why i want to talk to you ? meredith : it 's about family , is n't it ? people you 're close to . sami : what do you mean ? meredith : after we lost emily , it was so hard for me to be around people who knew her . it just -- it hurt too much . and here i am , a stranger familiar with grief , and i think it 's easier for you to talk to me than to people who knew and loved your little girl . sami : [ scoffs ] maybe you 're right . meredith : i 'm sorry if i was rude to you before . it 's just that emily and how i feel about her , it 's ... it 's so personal . sami : no , i understand . i 'm sorry if i pushed too hard . meredith : it 's not -- it -- it 's , like ... it 's all still so painful . not just that she died , but she died because of something that never should have happened . sami : whatever it was , it must 've been ... horrible . meredith : you have no idea . [ scene_break ] hope : do n't do anything stupid . this is detective hope brady with dr. daniel jonas , july 27 , 2009 . time : 9 : 17 p.m. dr. jonas , have you consented to this interview , and have you been informed of your right to have an attorney present ? daniel : yes . hope : and in doing so , you do realize that anything you say here will be a matter of public record and can and will be used against you in a court of law ? daniel : i have n't done anything legally wrong . hope : but you do understand what i just told you , is that correct ? daniel : i understand . hope : good . so you say you have n't done anything legally wrong . but ... daniel : but at the very least , i 'll admit that i have made some ... some very big mistakes . hope : you think your affair with chloe horton was a mistake ? daniel : oh , i think that ... hope : yes ? daniel : was inevitable . hope : and when she ended the affair , were you angry ? daniel : at the situation , not her . hope : so your theory is that kate roberts found out about the affair and took revenge upon chloe ? daniel : look , i know you find it hard to believe that kate did what i said . hope : you know , it just seems a bit after the fact , do n't you think , daniel ? daniel : i 'm sure it does . but i have missed a few things here . and after thinking about it ... it is a lot more complicated than that . hope : is that why you think kate poisoned chloe ? daniel : what i -- what i 'm saying here is that kate not only resented that chloe and i -- hope : are lovers ? daniel : were lovers ... but worse than that , and certainly from kate 's point of view ... is i still love her . i do n't love kate . chloe does n't love lucas . chloe and i ... love each other . [ scene_break ] lexie : mm , pulse ox is at 96 . she 's tachy at 120 . nathan : [ sighs ] do you think we should intubate ? lexie : uh , i think she 's holding steady . let 's wait and see . i may want to try a new medication . nathan : what , you think there 's a problem with dr. jonas ' antidote ? lexie : it 's not working . nathan : not working ? it saved her life . lexie : uh , it may have just prolonged the inevitable . nathan : i mean , do you really think it could 've been dr. jonas who poisoned her ? lexie : [ sighs ] it is not our job to play cop . it 's our job to save this woman 's life ... if it 's not too late . [ scene_break ] kate : well , you 're gon na find out about everything anyway , so , um ... apparently , they think that chloe was poisoned slowly over a period of time . victor : over a period of time ? kate : mm - hmm . victor : why , kate , that makes it sound like it was intentional . kate : hmm . well , i hate to really say this , but she probably does have a long list of enemies . victor : yeah ? and who would you put at the top of that list ? kate : oh , i would put you , because you hate her even more than i do . victor : but i know i did n't poison her . kate : i think you 're jumping to conclusions , victor . victor : you know who else is going to jump to conclusions ? lucas . kate : do n't be silly . victor : so where is he , by the way ? kate : he 's on a business trip . he had to be called back . victor : so he goes away and leaves you two alone , and chloe ends up at death 's door . [ laughs ] you should n't be worried about what i think , kate . you should be worried about what he 's going to think . he loves that girl . he 's not gon na like it that you killed her . kate : [ breathes deeply ] you do n't think i have that covered ? [ scene_break ] bo : come on , man , i told you this was a priority . i want that report on my desk three hours ago . yeah , right . abe : that did n't sound good . bo : oh , forensics is jerking me around . i think they 're stumped and do n't want me to know it . abe : you pulled jonas in ? bo : yeah , hope 's questioning him right now , but i do n't think we 're gon na get anything we do n't already have . abe : how about a confession ? bo : [ scoffs ] do n't hold your breath , abe . he did n't do it . abe : hmm . and you know that how ? bo : well , he 's freaking out that chloe 's still in danger . he 's scared to death she 's going to die . abe : well , then let him go , because no suspect has ever , ever pretended concern about the victim . bo : jeez , abe , what crawled up your -- abe : listen , commissioner , i 've already had three calls -- two from reporters , one from the state 's attorney general . and they 're all wondering if the police commissioner is going to coddle this suspect like he did his half brother . bo : i am not coddling anyone . i 'm trying to find out what actually happened . abe : you have hard evidence against him . do n't screw this up . as the attorney general so delicately put it ... your ass is on the line . [ scene_break ] hope : so you 're saying that kate 's been obsessing about you and chloe for a very long time . daniel : well , the phone call you say that maggie heard , think about that . do you know how long she must 've been planning this ? hope : you think that was kate 's work ? daniel : i think she taped my voice , maybe spliced it together , something . hope : pretty elaborate plan , would n't you say ? daniel : because she did n't want to just hurt chloe . she wanted to hurt me as well . you know what ? a lot of this -- a lot of this has to do with lucas . hope : lucas ? daniel : oh , yeah . hope : you think he 's involved in this ? daniel : i -- you know what ? i do n't know . but she is weird about her son , like she has to run his life constantly , protect him . hope : so the drug that was found in your apartment , the one in the brownie that chloe ate , you think that kate planted that to incriminate you because of lucas ? daniel : i do n't know . i do n't know . look , that sou -- i know it sounds crazy , but i would never hurt chloe . i love her . hope : even if i believe that , how do i know she felt the same about you , daniel ? i certainly ca n't ask her . daniel : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kate : no change . victor : hmm . maybe you 'd like to slip down to the chapel and pray for a quick demise . kate : okay , seriously , now you need to go home . victor : i thought we were having a nice little chat , enjoying our little deathwatch . kate : just stop . i mean it . go away . victor : before lucas gets here , right ? kate : yes , actually , that 's true . i need to tell him what happened . he 's gon na be here soon . victor : you mean he does n't know ? kate : no , he does n't know . he was on a plane . it was n't voicemail information . i told him to meet me here . victor : so what does he expect , a surprise party at the hospital ? kate : okay , that attitude -- that 's why you need to go . he 's gon na be grief- stricken . he does n't need your sick humor . he knows you hate chloe . victor : you do n't want me here to watch your performance as the distraught mother - in - law . you 're afraid i 'll make you laugh . kate : it 's not funny . he 's gon na be grief - stricken , heartbroken . victor : that 's what you 're worried about , is n't it ? that lucas might be sad . kate : yes . temporarily . but it 's for the best . victor : and that 's your call . kate : no . now it 's in god 's hands . [ scene_break ] meredith : after we talked in the woods ... i do n't do that -- open up like that . sami : well , we have this strong , horrible thing in common . you 're still grieving for her , are n't you ? meredith : if people tell you it gets better , they 're either lying , or they do n't know what they 're talking about . it changes , sure . the pain is n't as sharp . but it 's always there . sami : you two were close , huh ? meredith : [ laughs ] emily could drive me crazy . nobody made me mad like she could . sami : she was n't a pushover . meredith : oh , and she was sure she had all the answers . see , that 's something you ca n't say to somebody who knew her . they think it 's speaking ill of the dead . sami : but it 's not . it 's remembering her for who she really was and that that 's why you loved her . meredith : [ chuckles ] she would make me furious , just furious . then she 'd say something that would make me burst out laughing . that would only make me more mad . sami : she sounds great . it must be really hard moving on without her . meredith : still something will happen , and ... and i 'll think , `` god , i - i have to tell emily about it . `` sami : you told each other everything . meredith : we did ... for a long time . sami : something happened ? meredith : everything changed because of him . sami : him ? meredith : emily 's fiancé ... rafe hernandez .

[ scene_break ] abe : bo , this case is turning into a nightmare . one of the reporters talked about the fact that jonas is your father 's godson . bo : and you think i 'd let that sway me . abe : i 'm saying it could look like it . you know , you 've already had a run - in with internal affairs , and those guys are known to hold grudges . bo : screw them ! look , you want me to arrest a man i do n't think is guilty . abe : i want you to take that mountain of evidence you have against him as seriously as you take your gut ! bo : you know what , abe ? i got a solution to this . fire me . [ scene_break ] hope : you 're spinning what attorneys call an alternative theory of the crime . the problem with that ... you have nothing to back it up . you have n't given me any concrete evidence whatsoever that kate has anything to do with this . daniel : but you think the evidence against me is concrete . she manufactured this . and you do n't believe me . hope : it 's a theory . i do n't believe or disbelieve theories . i consider them . like for instance , i could ... consider another theory . you told me how much you loved chloe . daniel : i still do . hope : and she broke off the affair and chose lucas over you . then look what happened . you resigned from the hospital . you were gon na leave salem , correct ? daniel : look , things changed after all that . we talked . we were gon na be together . hope : so you say . again ... no evidence that was true . and aside from that , it 's kind of contradicted by maggie overhearing the phone call . daniel : no , i know kate did that -- hope : daniel , the phone call , the resignation . that looks like a very angry , rejected man , as in `` if i ca n't have her , no one will , `` kind of man . daniel : not true . that is just not true ! hope : i did n't say it was . it 's a theory . and here 's the big problem . the one person who can tell us which theory to choose ca n't talk . which brings me to another theory . what if chloe knew something ... that someone did n't want her to share ? [ scene_break ] victor : you are incorrigible , kate . you 're marvelous ! kate : you 're still here . victor : i 'm going , i 'm going . kate : victor ... all joking aside , our conversation tonight was private , personal . victor : what you 're asking is will i keep your secret ? kate : [ laughs ] what secret ? victor : do n't worry , kate . i wo n't tell anyone what you did to the ... soon - to- be - departed chloe . matter of fact , i 'll say , `` good girl , nice work . `` see ya at the funeral . kate : always nice seeing you too , victor . victor : how ? kate : excuse me ? victor : i must be losing my touch . when i asked you how you were gon na keep lucas from suspecting you , you said you had that covered . and i did n't ask the next logical question -- how ? how are you gon na keep him and the police from suspecting you ? [ scene_break ] sami : so you , uh ... you did n't like emily 's fiancé ? meredith : no , i did at the beginning . sami : yeah ? meredith : oh , yeah . he was great -- like something out of a movie . he was good- looking and funny , and emily seemed so happy . sami : seemed ? meredith : in the beginning . emily believed he 'd do anything for her . we all believed that . sami : a real hero type , huh ? meredith : yeah . i thought he would die for emily , and she 's the one who died . sami : what happened ? meredith : i ca n't talk about this . sami : no , meredith , come on -- meredith : no , sorry , i ca n't . i ca n't , i just -- i 'm sorry . sami : meredith , just -- [ sigh ] [ scene_break ] abe : i did n't say anything about firing you . bo : it would clear up this problem we 're having . you 'd look objective , decisive , like a politician . abe : would you listen to me ? now , i am not trying to influence this case . i 'm trying to warn you ... that you 're under a lot of scrutiny and whether you like it or not ... appearances matter . bo : all right . gene : commissioner , this just came in from the lab . bo : about time . thanks , gene . abe : that does n't look like good news . bo : not for jonas , it is n't . [ scene_break ] daniel : i did n't do anything to chloe . i wish she could talk , and then she could back up everything that i 'm telling you . hope : was the affair over ? daniel : i told you it was . hope : but you were still in love with her . daniel : yes . hope : and kate found out about the affair and was upset . daniel : yes , she was . hope : okay . could you just explain to me why she would ask you to do the television show with chloe and why the heck you would ever accept ? daniel : yeah . she bribed me . and this is something you can verify . she offered to match my salary with a donation toward breast cancer research in honor of my late wife . it 's just another setup . she 's pushing me with chloe , and i 'm telling you , she is setting me up with this scenario . hope : and you accepted that ? believed that this woman who hated what you had done needed you ? oh , and only you ... as a guest star . daniel : yes . she said that after i took care of philip ... hope : you mean saved his life , right ? daniel : yes , yes . she had forgiven me . and you know what ? yes , i accepted it . i did n't say , `` wow , maybe kate is planning to kill chloe and hang it on me ! `` hope : but you were still in love with her . did it really seem like a good idea to work with her ? daniel : no , as a matter of fact , it was n't a good idea . it has been painful , and it threatened to get out of hand , and that is why i resigned . that is why i was planning to leave salem . hope : so you say . again , we ca n't ask chloe for confirmation . daniel : no . hope : except there was something she said . last time she was admitted to the hospital , she told lexie she did n't want you anywhere near her , she did n't want you to treat her . now , why would she say that ? [ knock on door ] bo : excuse me . hope : thank you . daniel : what 's that ? hope : i 'm asking the questions here , doctor . why would she say that ? why would she not want you to treat her ? daniel : i think ... i think she was afraid . hope : afraid of you ?

[ sighs ] i do n't know . could it be a bigger disaster ? stefan : [ laughing ] i ... i love this town . let me get this straight . you admit to assaulting me , and now you 're asking me for a job ? did you have a lobotomy while you were locked away ? ben : i only knocked you out because chad paid me . it 's nothing personal . stefan : no -- nothing personal ? well , great , that makes all the difference . shall we do it again ? ben : this , mr . dimera , can benefit both of us . i need work , and you need a new head of security . might i add , that was a very smart move , firing that last guy ? because if i had n't overpowered that big lunk , i would have never even gotten to you . stefan : that 's not the only reason i let him go . he allowed a , uh , very important asset to get away . ted : red wine . it 's what i missed the most when stefan had me locked up . hope : says a lot about you , ted . ted : so not only do you protect me . you also feed me . how lucky am i ? hope : it 's not about luck . this is about reciprocity . i hide you . i protect you . you get me the goods on ben . and the sooner , the better . i ca n't risk him getting any closer to my daughter . not to mention , i hate keeping secrets from rafe . rafe : suppose i should count my blessings . gabi : why 's that ? rafe : why 's that ? because , uh , you fit me into your schedule . gabi : [ laughs ] rafe : getting lunch with you is , uh , harder than getting face time with the pope . gabi : what ? no . do n't try to guilt - trip me , okay ? i 've just been dealing with a lot lately . rafe : yeah , i know that . that 's why , uh , i wanted us to get together -- so we could talk one - on - one . gabi : one - on - one ? that sounds serious . rafe : well , i would 've brought it up at thanksgiving , but , uh , certain things i did n't want to say in front of everyone . i 'm worried about you . gabi : okay , why are you worried , rafe ? rafe : well , i heard about your trip to bayview , how abigail attacked you . gabi : look , i , uh -- i appreciate your concern , big brother , but i 'm fine . the person we really need to be worried about is poor abigail . chad : abby ? [ dramatic music ] abby . will -- will you look at me , please ? i need to talk to you . please . [ tense music ] abigail : go ... away . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rafe : you know , i got ta say , i was surprised when i heard that you went to visit abigail . gabi : why ? why would you be ? she 's my best friend . she 's in a mental institution again . it 's really , really sad , rafe . rafe : yeah , it is . except she blames you for landing her there . and jj and jennifer told me she thinks that you 're gaslighting her . gabi : that 's true . yeah , i was a little hurt but that , but i -- you know , i ca n't take anything that abigail says personally . i mean , she 's -- she 's completely out of her mind , obviously . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah . but still , these are pretty serious accusations . why did n't you tell me ? gabi : what , to waste your time ? no , they 're obviously not true . you know that , right ? chad : abby , i know you 're angry with me . [ dramatic music ] abigail : why would i be angry with you ? oh , you mean because you had me locked up here like an animal ? you separated me from my children ? no hard feelings . chad : it 's for your own good . abigail : it 's for my own good . you 're only trying to help . i 'm dangerous . no one wants me around . chad : you know that 's not how i feel . you know i want you around . abigail : as long as i 'm sane . but i am , in fact , sane . you chose to believe gabi hernandez , that vindictive , scheming liar , instead of me . so now here i am ... stuck in this hellhole , torn away from my children . how 'd you get in here , anyway ? you know , i 'm not supposed to have visitors in my special new room . chad : your mom worked it out for me . abigail : that 's right . that 's right , you two are plotting behind my back now . chad : we were worried about you . i 'm sorry that you 're struggling , i 'm sorry that it happened this way , but i 'm not sorry about what i did . i - i did the only thing that i knew how to do . abigail : [ scoffs softly ] i do n't want to hear any of this . none of it ! you can take your apology and go to hell . sonny : you expect us to believe that kate had anything to do with your little sexual harassment scam ? you all but admitted that vivian was the brains behind it . leo : i did , but if you recall , i also hinted that someone took over for her after she died . sonny : you never said it was kate . leo : well , i thought you would use your excellent powers of deduction to figure it out . i mean , who else would want to bring down titan ? will : the company has -- has lots of enemies . any one of them could have -- could have wanted to set sonny up . leo : true . and the family screwup is always an enticing target . but , will , come on . i mean , i may have fudged the truth once or twice in my life , but in this case , there 'd be no reason . will : no reason ? sonny thought he killed you , and you want revenge for that . and clearly you 're trying to -- trying to get that by -- by making things up and -- and stirring up trouble . leo : [ sighs ] okay , consider this . everyone thought my case was a slam dunk . your family initially made a generous offer that we refused . sonny : will you just get to the point ? leo : [ sighs ] the night you thought you killed me , i showed up here , desperate . i offered to marry you and drop the lawsuit . sonny : yeah , because you finally realized what a loser your case was . you got cold feet , and you did n't want to lose in court . leo : interesting theory , but no . it 's because kate wanted me to accept the settlement , and i refused . will : why would she do that ? leo : because , suddenly , bringing down titan was no longer in her best interest , not when her boy chad had just taken over the reins . [ dramatic music ] chad : why do n't you stop for a second and just let me explain ? abigail : no , do n't explain . do n't say anything , 'cause there is nothing you can say that will make me hate you any less , so just go . chad : you -- you think that i - i - i want you in here , abby ? is that what you think ? 'cause i - i hate this . abigail : get out . get out ! just go ! get out of here ! just go ! just go . [ sobbing ] chad : i stopped by the hospital earlier , and , uh , charlotte 's healthy . she 's doing fine . abigail : i know . jj told me . chad : right , well , i have some pictures and some videos of thomas . abigail : wait . show me . rafe : gabi , it 's just that , um ... sometimes when you talk about abigail , it seems to me like you still have a lot of resentment towards her . gabi : rafe , i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what you 're trying to say . do you believe that i 'm setting her up ? is that what it is ? rafe : i do n't want to believe it . gabi : oh , my god , you believe it . rafe : no , the -- gabi : rafe . okay , yes , obviously i was upset at abigail for what she did to me . rafe : mm - hmm . gabi : but after i got out of prison , i went up to her , and we resolved our issues . rafe : did you ? gabi : yeah . yes , i did , okay ? and even if i was still upset at her , i do n't understand how you could think that i would do this , that i 'm some sort of monster . how could you even consider this ? rafe : huh . look , i 'm sorry . gabi : trust me . rafe : okay ? gabi : please . abigail is locked up because of her mental illness , not because of anything that i did . stefan : i 'm impressed by your skill and ambition . ben : thank you . stefan : however , you have no real experience running a security team . [ clears throat ] ben : it 's true . i don't . but i 'm a quick learner . and having been locked up in various facilities ... i became very adept spotting weaknesses in the system . stefan : hmm . so you can exploit them in order to , uh , plan your escapes , yes ? ben : i like to call it having a keen eye for risk assessment . stefan : [ laughs ] ben : you do n't approve ? stefan : no , no , no , it 's not that . it 's -- it 's more about how you acquired it . come on , you have to admit , hiring a serial killer is a bit unorthodox , even for a guy like me . ben : well , i was n't in my right mind when i committed those murders . i had a psychotic break . but after a lot of therapy and a lot of hard work , i was given a clean bill of health by all my doctors . you can call them . you can verify . i check in regularly . i take my meds . dr. marlena evans herself stated that i am stable enough to return to society and try to make a life for myself . stefan : well , i - i think it 's safe to assume marlena said those things when she was advocating for your release . but since then , have n't you been accused of trying to kill commissioner brady 's daughter ? ben : i was . but i 'm innocent . you can ask ciara brady yourself . she 'll tell you that i would never , ever try to hurt her . she 's the only person in this town who took the time to realize that i 've changed . everyone else , mr . dimera , they still fear me . they hate me . and i get . i 've done terrible things in this town . but does n't everybody deserve a second chance ? managing my type 2 diabetes was n't my top priority . ben : it 's tough , man , being the town pariah . as soon as i got out of shady hills , the only thing i wanted to do was make up for my past and return to society . 99 % of people in this little town only see me as the necktie killer ... or the person that tormented abigail and drove her insane . stefan : yeah , i 've heard a little bit about that . ben : look , man , i know she 's your wife . and if that complicates things , hiring me -- stefan : she 's my wife in name only . and at the moment , she 's being treated at bayview . ben : i heard about that too . stefan : so i do n't foresee that being an issue . appreciate your honesty . ben : i did n't scare you off ? stefan : no . no , on the contrary , i ... can sort of relate to you . everyone in this town only thinks of me as the guy who took advantage of abigail , which , of course , was n't my intention . but , you know , people believe what they want , yes ? ben : yeah . you 're kind of a pariah too . stefan : i 'll tell you that i do n't get invited to very many dinner parties here . ben : well , then you understand why this job is so important to me . this is the only shot i have at getting my life back together , mr . dimera . i just need someone to give me a chance . i promise , you hire me , you will not be sorry . leo : now that chad was the head of titan , the last thing kate wanted was to see it fail . that bitch was totally gon na screw me over , and after all the hard work i put in . will : okay , okay . none of what you 're saying proves that kate was behind this . and now that i 'm thinking about it , it does n't even make sense , because she did n't even get to know ted until after the lawsuit was dropped . leo : [ laughs ] is that what she told you ? will : yes ! and -- and when ted was blackmailing us over your death , she was the one who -- who helped us out . leo : well , maybe she had a guilty conscience . wait , what is that about blackmail ? sonny : [ scoffs ] are you really gon na try to tell us that you did n't know about that ? leo : okay , you know what ? i think i 've answered enough of your annoying questions for the day . gon na get myself another drink . you boys want anything ? sonny : yeah , for you to fall off the face of the earth . leo : well , that 's not gon na happen , not this time . i 'm here to stay , fellas . [ tense music ] ted : [ sighs ] already smells wonderful . [ soft music ] rafe : to a lifetime of love ... and happiness . ted : hope ? hope : what ? ted : sorry , but ... you were staring into space . hope : i was -- i was thinking about my wedding to rafe . we had the ceremony here . ted : sounds romantic . hope : it was . it was very romantic . ted : till you found out he cheated on you with his ex - wife . hope : how did you know about that ? ted : well , i 'm a defense attorney . i spend a lot of time in the police station . people talk , especially when it involves the commissioner . hope : yeah , i do n't doubt that . ted : i was impressed how you were able to , uh , deal with all that . if it were me , i 'm kind of the jealous type . i do n't think i can forgive and forget . [ dramatic music ] rafe : i 'm sorry if i upset you . but , gabi ... gabi : `` but , gabi , `` what ? rafe : never mind . gabi : no , rafe , i know -- i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na say that because of my history that you could believe i would do something so extreme . you know , i resent that . rafe : you know , look . i said i was sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . gabi : kate ! hey . kate : hey , gabi . and rafe . rafe : kate . gabi : you know that my brother here , he , uh -- he thinks that i 'm a really terrible person ? rafe : no , i don't . gabi : yeah , you do . rafe : no , i don't . would you stop it ? gabi : yeah , he thinks that , uh , everybody that abigail is saying is true , that i 'm the one making it look like she 's nuts , that i 'm framing her . kate : rafe , come on . you do n't believe that . gabi : he does , actually . and i really need you to back me up , because you saw gabby , right ? gabby attacked kate . would you please tell him ? kate : it 's true . unfortunately abigail 's mental illness has returned . gabi : there you go . kate told you . i mean , you trust her , do n't you ? she would never lie to you . abigail : [ laughing softly ] oh , my sweet girl . chad : she has your smile . abigail : w - was this from h -- his ... was this , um -- chad : yeah , that 's from the , uh -- his birthday . we went to the park . it was just the two of us . abigail : [ gasps ] he must think i forgot . chad : no , he doesn't . he knows you wanted to be there . i told him . i just ... i just told him that you had to go away for a while , okay ? [ soft dramatic music ] abigail : did you tell him why ? did you tell him why i had to go away for a little while ? did you tell him ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i had to go away ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i am missing his birthday , that i am missing thanksgiving ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it is because of you that i am not there every night to tuck him in at night ... chad : stop . abigail : and tell him that i love him ? do n't tell me to stop . that i am not there to hold his baby sister in my arms ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's not my choice ? that i 'm not there because of you , hmm ? [ crying ] get me out of here , chad . just get me out of here , please . i am begging you , just get me out . my children , they need me , and i need them . just go and -- please , just -- just go and get me out of here . i 'm -- i 'm begging you . if you love me even a little bit , at all ... please just get me out of here . ted : et violà . hope : thank you . ted : go on . take a bite . so what do you think ? hope : delicious . ted : yes ! hope : hmm . so how are you gon na do it ? how do you plan on getting the confession out of ben ? ted : come on , it 's lunchtime . we can talk about something more pleasant . hope : no , we ca n't , because we have a deal , remember ? ted : all right , okay . so i was thinking ... ben is my client . if he confessed to me , it 's not gon na be admissible in court . hope : thought about that angle , and i have a solution . [ sly music ] ted : a satellite phone ? hope : mm - hmm , exactly . the reception out here is pretty unreliable . you can use this to get the confession . ted : and how does that help us ? in any case , i can not testify whatever he tells me . hope : correct . but say -- hypothetically , of course -- the police tapped your phone for some , say , unrelated matter and happened to stumble upon ben 's confession by accident . ted : i like how you think . [ dramatic music ] stefan : okay , i 'll give you a shot . the moment you give me a reason to distrust you , you 're through . ben : thank you . thank you very much . stefan : [ clears throat ] ben : and i promise you , you do not have to worry . i 'm gon na put my head down , i 'm gon na work my ass off , and i 'm gon na provide you with the best damn security you could ever want . stefan : yeah . well , at the very least , my enemies will think twice before messing with a serial killer . ben : reformed . stefan : yeah . they do n't have to know that . ben : i do like your style , mr . dimera . stefan : why , thank you . ben : [ sighs ] so , um ... what kind of benefits come with this job ? stefan : [ laughs ] benefits ? what , like , uh , medical insurance ? ben : no , i was thinking more along the lines of a place to stay ? i would never ask this , but i am staying at a homeless shelter . stefan : that 's not my problem . ben : i know it 's not your problem , but if i am on the premise , i can better protect you . stefan : you 're pushing it . ben : i know . i know . there 's this girl -- stefan : nah , here we go . ben : [ clears throat ] and if i 'm going to be with her , i need to have my life together and at least a place to stay . stefan : okay . but you 're paying rent , and it 's coming out of your salary . deal ? ben : deal . stefan : welcome to my world , mr . weston . rafe : well , i am sorry that i ever doubted you . i want you to know that i 'm always here for you if you need me . gabi : thank you , rafe . i love you . rafe : i love you too . i should get back to work . give ari a kiss for me , okay ? kate , good to see you , as always . kate : good to see you too . rafe : yeah . [ tense music ] kate : damn you , forcing me to lie to the police like that ? gabi : the police ? it 's just rafe , okay ? calm down . he 's not gon na arrest you for protecting his sister . kate : oh , really ? because stranger things have happened . so ... i heard that you visited abigail at bayview . gabi : yes , i needed to make sure that the doctors were convinced that she was nuts . i just gave her a little final push over the edge . kate : ah . and how did you provoke that attack ? gabi : very simple . i just told her the truth , that i 'm the one that set everything up . kate : are you insane ? chad : i want you -- i want you to come home . you know that . abigail : then get me out of here . chad : i - i - i can't . the last time i saw you , you had gabi up against the wall . you were trying to strangle her . abigail : because she admitted that she set me up . chad : come on . abigail : she told me that she wanted revenge . she told me that . she told me that she wanted everyone to think that i was crazy so that she would ruin my life the way that i have ruined hers . chad : why would she admit that ? abigail : because she wants everybody to think that i 'm crazy . she knows that nobody will believe me . she knows that . and you 're playing right into her hands . chad : you said that she had the wig on her . abigail : she did . chad : where ? i did n't -- i did n't -- i did n't s -- i did n't see it . there was no wig . how do you explain that ? abigail : obviously she hid it somehow . i mean , c -- no , i ca n't -- i ca n't prove it . but you know what ? chad , i should n't have to , not with you . you love me . i should n't have to prove that . chad : yeah , you know i do . abigail : so then -- i mean , come on , why -- why -- why am i here ? with uncontrolled sonny : i hate to admit it , but everything that leo said about kate is ringing true . leo shows up here , desperate for me to marry him . if he 's telling the truth , that means kate nearly ruined my life , nearly ruined titan . and you know what ? she would 've done it . she would 've done it if chad had n't become ceo . will : do you think chad knew ? sonny : no , there 's no way he knew . he would never betray me like that . this is all kate . will : where you -- where you going ? sonny : where do you think i 'm going ? i 'm gon na go confront your grandmother . will : no . let me talk to her . if she did this to you , she 'll answer to me . [ tense music ] kate : i can not believe you were that foolish to confess to abigail . what if -- what happens when she decides that she needs to confide the truth to someone ? gabi : [ sighs ] kate , she 's -- no one 's gon na believe her because she 's crazy , remember ? kate : i suppose you threw me under the bus as well ? gabi : oh . yeah , i guess if abigail 's alter is n't real , then yeah , you lied . kate : great . that 's really great . gabi : you should have seen abigail 's face . okay , i took the gabby wig for dramatic effect , and it completely set her off . kate : i wonder why . gabi : oh , and then -- i mean , it was like i was lucky or something . chad walked in right when -- right when she attacked me . kate : did he see the wig ? gabi : oh , i was hiding it the whole time , but that was the best part , because you should 've seen abigail 's face when she could n't find the wig . it was like she went crazy . i mean , she 's gon na be stuck in that loony bin for a long time . kate : i suppose i could congratulate you on a mission accomplished , but instead you need to move on to the next phase , and that means telling chad the truth , telling him that he 's the father of the baby , not stefan . chad : abby ... i want to believe you . more than anything , i do . but i ca n't help but think about all those months that i had no idea that you split . a lot of people got hurt , and a lot of bad things happened . abigail : chad . hey , chad . look at me . chad , look at me . it 's me . it 's me . i 'm not ill . it 's me . chad : i 'm sorry . i can't . abigail : no . chad : for thomas and charlotte , i can't . abigail : then i guess there 's nothing i can do to change your mind . chad : you can , uh , get the help that you need . let the doctors help you . then when you 're integrated again , then you can come home and you can be with thomas and charlotte . abigail : just what makes you think you get to decide that for me , hmm ? chad : i 'm trying to help you . i love you . abigail : leave . get out . just -- just get out . i never want to see you again . just go . get out of here . no , just get out . orderly ! help ! help ! is there a problem here ? abigail : yes , he 's disturbing me . i want him to get out . time for you to go , sir . abigail : [ yells ] [ sobs ] [ breathing heavily ] leo : where 's your boyfriend ? sonny : out . leo : you know , once we 're married , i 'm not gon na let you and will humiliate me in front of all of salem . sonny : i think you 're forgetting one tiny little detail . i have n't agreed to marry you . leo : really , what choice do you have ? sonny : you 're a sadistic son of a bitch . leo : and you have a flair for the dramatic . honestly , i 'm not that bad . look , i 'll even take a little pressure off . i will give you 24 hours to make a decision . sonny : wow , you 're gon na give me a whole 24 hours ? leo : told you , i 'm a prince . but fair warning ? if i do n't end up with a ring on my finger , i 'm going to destroy you ... and the cute little twink too . [ dramatic music ] gabi : no , chad can not find out that charlotte is his daughter just yet . i need stefan to bond with that baby , and then i will destroy him . kate : well , i saw stefan yesterday , and he 's plenty bonded . gabi : kate , i need some time to figure out how this truth is gon na come out , okay , without implicating myself in the process . kate : just give me the original paternity papers . i 'll find a way to make sure that chad gets them . gabi : i burned them . kate : are you crazy ? gabi : what ? i just did n't think it was smart to have them lying around . kate : they 're still in the hospital system . you need to find a way to get into kayla 's computer and print them out . gabi : okay , well , that 's -- that 's a little complicated . kayla -- kayla knows about abigail 's suspicions . kate : are you sure ? gabi : yeah . she was questioning me about the , uh , sedatives that she prescribed for me , and she thinks i used them to drug abigail . kate : this just keeps getting better and better . [ sighs ] you should n't get so upset . everyone here is only trying to help you . abigail : no one 's trying to help me . i 'm alone . [ sighs ] wait . [ suspenseful music ] can you help me with something ? stefan : your first assignment is to locate my former attorney , a mr . ted laurent . ben : you got it . stefan : and i want this place to be a literal fortress by the time i bring my daughter home . is that clear ? ben : clear . [ cell phone ringing ] stefan : excuse me . stefan dimera . yes , i 'll be right there . thank you . ben : everything okay ? stefan : i do n't know . my wife needs to see me . welcome home . hope : hi . rafe : hey , i was just about to call you . where you been ? hope : well , i was , uh -- i was just -- i had to -- i was overlooking a few things . i mean i had a few things that i had to ... i do n't know . busy with this new case . i got it . i -- rafe : took a ferry out to smith island ? what were you doing out there ? [ dramatic music ] ben : bet you never imagined i 'd be living here instead of chad , huh ? life 's what happens when you 're making other plans .

[ lock clicks ] stefan : abigail ? [ unsettling music ] abigail : no , baby . it 's me ... gabby . | rafe and gabi talked about whether she set abby up . gabi denied setting her up . abby yelled at chad for having her put in bayview . chad tried to explain why he had to do it . abby was upset because he believed gabi over her . he had pics of the kids . ben went to stefan for a job . stefan reminded him of what he did to abby . sonny and will could n't believe kate would be involved with ted . leo told them how she wanted to take titan down until chad worked there . gabi continued to deny the accusations until kate showed up . gabi stopped kate and had her prove she told the truth about abby . abby saw the pics of the kids and got mad at chad again . she did n't want to be away from her kids . | <s>[INST] leo : you both look so surprised . i swear i 'm telling the truth . will 's grandma is the one behind the lawsuit . will : you 're lying .

[ sighs ] pulling stefan into the whole mess . [ sighs ] i do n't know . could it be a bigger disaster ? stefan : [ laughing ] i ... i love this town . let me get this straight . you admit to assaulting me , and now you 're asking me for a job ? did you have a lobotomy while you were locked away ? ben : i only knocked you out because chad paid me . it 's nothing personal . stefan : no -- nothing personal ? well , great , that makes all the difference . shall we do it again ? ben : this , mr . dimera , can benefit both of us . i need work , and you need a new head of security . might i add , that was a very smart move , firing that last guy ? because if i had n't overpowered that big lunk , i would have never even gotten to you . stefan : that 's not the only reason i let him go . he allowed a , uh , very important asset to get away . ted : red wine . it 's what i missed the most when stefan had me locked up . hope : says a lot about you , ted . ted : so not only do you protect me . you also feed me . how lucky am i ? hope : it 's not about luck . this is about reciprocity . i hide you . i protect you . you get me the goods on ben . and the sooner , the better . i ca n't risk him getting any closer to my daughter . not to mention , i hate keeping secrets from rafe . rafe : suppose i should count my blessings . gabi : why 's that ? rafe : why 's that ? because , uh , you fit me into your schedule . gabi : [ laughs ] rafe : getting lunch with you is , uh , harder than getting face time with the pope . gabi : what ? no . do n't try to guilt - trip me , okay ? i 've just been dealing with a lot lately . rafe : yeah , i know that . that 's why , uh , i wanted us to get together -- so we could talk one - on - one . gabi : one - on - one ? that sounds serious . rafe : well , i would 've brought it up at thanksgiving , but , uh , certain things i did n't want to say in front of everyone . i 'm worried about you . gabi : okay , why are you worried , rafe ? rafe : well , i heard about your trip to bayview , how abigail attacked you . gabi : look , i , uh -- i appreciate your concern , big brother , but i 'm fine . the person we really need to be worried about is poor abigail . chad : abby ? [ dramatic music ] abby . will -- will you look at me , please ? i need to talk to you . please . [ tense music ] abigail : go ... away . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rafe : you know , i got ta say , i was surprised when i heard that you went to visit abigail . gabi : why ? why would you be ? she 's my best friend . she 's in a mental institution again . it 's really , really sad , rafe . rafe : yeah , it is . except she blames you for landing her there . and jj and jennifer told me she thinks that you 're gaslighting her . gabi : that 's true . yeah , i was a little hurt but that , but i -- you know , i ca n't take anything that abigail says personally . i mean , she 's -- she 's completely out of her mind , obviously . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah . but still , these are pretty serious accusations . why did n't you tell me ? gabi : what , to waste your time ? no , they 're obviously not true . you know that , right ? chad : abby , i know you 're angry with me . [ dramatic music ] abigail : why would i be angry with you ? oh , you mean because you had me locked up here like an animal ? you separated me from my children ? no hard feelings . chad : it 's for your own good . abigail : it 's for my own good . you 're only trying to help . i 'm dangerous . no one wants me around . chad : you know that 's not how i feel . you know i want you around . abigail : as long as i 'm sane . but i am , in fact , sane . you chose to believe gabi hernandez , that vindictive , scheming liar , instead of me . so now here i am ... stuck in this hellhole , torn away from my children . how 'd you get in here , anyway ? you know , i 'm not supposed to have visitors in my special new room . chad : your mom worked it out for me . abigail : that 's right . that 's right , you two are plotting behind my back now . chad : we were worried about you . i 'm sorry that you 're struggling , i 'm sorry that it happened this way , but i 'm not sorry about what i did . i - i did the only thing that i knew how to do . abigail : [ scoffs softly ] i do n't want to hear any of this . none of it ! you can take your apology and go to hell . sonny : you expect us to believe that kate had anything to do with your little sexual harassment scam ? you all but admitted that vivian was the brains behind it . leo : i did , but if you recall , i also hinted that someone took over for her after she died . sonny : you never said it was kate . leo : well , i thought you would use your excellent powers of deduction to figure it out . i mean , who else would want to bring down titan ? will : the company has -- has lots of enemies . any one of them could have -- could have wanted to set sonny up . leo : true . and the family screwup is always an enticing target . but , will , come on . i mean , i may have fudged the truth once or twice in my life , but in this case , there 'd be no reason . will : no reason ? sonny thought he killed you , and you want revenge for that . and clearly you 're trying to -- trying to get that by -- by making things up and -- and stirring up trouble . leo : [ sighs ] okay , consider this . everyone thought my case was a slam dunk . your family initially made a generous offer that we refused . sonny : will you just get to the point ? leo : [ sighs ] the night you thought you killed me , i showed up here , desperate . i offered to marry you and drop the lawsuit . sonny : yeah , because you finally realized what a loser your case was . you got cold feet , and you did n't want to lose in court . leo : interesting theory , but no . it 's because kate wanted me to accept the settlement , and i refused . will : why would she do that ? leo : because , suddenly , bringing down titan was no longer in her best interest , not when her boy chad had just taken over the reins . [ dramatic music ] chad : why do n't you stop for a second and just let me explain ? abigail : no , do n't explain . do n't say anything , 'cause there is nothing you can say that will make me hate you any less , so just go . chad : you -- you think that i - i - i want you in here , abby ? is that what you think ? 'cause i - i hate this . abigail : get out . get out ! just go ! get out of here ! just go ! just go . [ sobbing ] chad : i stopped by the hospital earlier , and , uh , charlotte 's healthy . she 's doing fine . abigail : i know . jj told me . chad : right , well , i have some pictures and some videos of thomas . abigail : wait . show me . rafe : gabi , it 's just that , um ... sometimes when you talk about abigail , it seems to me like you still have a lot of resentment towards her . gabi : rafe , i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what you 're trying to say . do you believe that i 'm setting her up ? is that what it is ? rafe : i do n't want to believe it . gabi : oh , my god , you believe it . rafe : no , the -- gabi : rafe . okay , yes , obviously i was upset at abigail for what she did to me . rafe : mm - hmm . gabi : but after i got out of prison , i went up to her , and we resolved our issues . rafe : did you ? gabi : yeah . yes , i did , okay ? and even if i was still upset at her , i do n't understand how you could think that i would do this , that i 'm some sort of monster . how could you even consider this ? rafe : huh . look , i 'm sorry . gabi : trust me . rafe : okay ? gabi : please . abigail is locked up because of her mental illness , not because of anything that i did . stefan : i 'm impressed by your skill and ambition . ben : thank you . stefan : however , you have no real experience running a security team . [ clears throat ] ben : it 's true . i don't . but i 'm a quick learner . and having been locked up in various facilities ... i became very adept spotting weaknesses in the system . stefan : hmm . so you can exploit them in order to , uh , plan your escapes , yes ? ben : i like to call it having a keen eye for risk assessment . stefan : [ laughs ] ben : you do n't approve ? stefan : no , no , no , it 's not that . it 's -- it 's more about how you acquired it . come on , you have to admit , hiring a serial killer is a bit unorthodox , even for a guy like me . ben : well , i was n't in my right mind when i committed those murders . i had a psychotic break . but after a lot of therapy and a lot of hard work , i was given a clean bill of health by all my doctors . you can call them . you can verify . i check in regularly . i take my meds . dr. marlena evans herself stated that i am stable enough to return to society and try to make a life for myself . stefan : well , i - i think it 's safe to assume marlena said those things when she was advocating for your release . but since then , have n't you been accused of trying to kill commissioner brady 's daughter ? ben : i was . but i 'm innocent . you can ask ciara brady yourself . she 'll tell you that i would never , ever try to hurt her . she 's the only person in this town who took the time to realize that i 've changed . everyone else , mr . dimera , they still fear me . they hate me . and i get . i 've done terrible things in this town . but does n't everybody deserve a second chance ? managing my type 2 diabetes was n't my top priority . ben : it 's tough , man , being the town pariah . as soon as i got out of shady hills , the only thing i wanted to do was make up for my past and return to society . 99 % of people in this little town only see me as the necktie killer ... or the person that tormented abigail and drove her insane . stefan : yeah , i 've heard a little bit about that . ben : look , man , i know she 's your wife . and if that complicates things , hiring me -- stefan : she 's my wife in name only . and at the moment , she 's being treated at bayview . ben : i heard about that too . stefan : so i do n't foresee that being an issue . appreciate your honesty . ben : i did n't scare you off ? stefan : no . no , on the contrary , i ... can sort of relate to you . everyone in this town only thinks of me as the guy who took advantage of abigail , which , of course , was n't my intention . but , you know , people believe what they want , yes ? ben : yeah . you 're kind of a pariah too . stefan : i 'll tell you that i do n't get invited to very many dinner parties here . ben : well , then you understand why this job is so important to me . this is the only shot i have at getting my life back together , mr . dimera . i just need someone to give me a chance . i promise , you hire me , you will not be sorry . leo : now that chad was the head of titan , the last thing kate wanted was to see it fail . that bitch was totally gon na screw me over , and after all the hard work i put in . will : okay , okay . none of what you 're saying proves that kate was behind this . and now that i 'm thinking about it , it does n't even make sense , because she did n't even get to know ted until after the lawsuit was dropped . leo : [ laughs ] is that what she told you ? will : yes ! and -- and when ted was blackmailing us over your death , she was the one who -- who helped us out . leo : well , maybe she had a guilty conscience . wait , what is that about blackmail ? sonny : [ scoffs ] are you really gon na try to tell us that you did n't know about that ? leo : okay , you know what ? i think i 've answered enough of your annoying questions for the day . gon na get myself another drink . you boys want anything ? sonny : yeah , for you to fall off the face of the earth . leo : well , that 's not gon na happen , not this time . i 'm here to stay , fellas . [ tense music ] ted : [ sighs ] already smells wonderful . [ soft music ] rafe : to a lifetime of love ... and happiness . ted : hope ? hope : what ? ted : sorry , but ... you were staring into space . hope : i was -- i was thinking about my wedding to rafe . we had the ceremony here . ted : sounds romantic . hope : it was . it was very romantic . ted : till you found out he cheated on you with his ex - wife . hope : how did you know about that ? ted : well , i 'm a defense attorney . i spend a lot of time in the police station . people talk , especially when it involves the commissioner . hope : yeah , i do n't doubt that . ted : i was impressed how you were able to , uh , deal with all that . if it were me , i 'm kind of the jealous type . i do n't think i can forgive and forget . [ dramatic music ] rafe : i 'm sorry if i upset you . but , gabi ... gabi : `` but , gabi , `` what ? rafe : never mind . gabi : no , rafe , i know -- i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na say that because of my history that you could believe i would do something so extreme . you know , i resent that . rafe : you know , look . i said i was sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . gabi : kate ! hey . kate : hey , gabi . and rafe . rafe : kate . gabi : you know that my brother here , he , uh -- he thinks that i 'm a really terrible person ? rafe : no , i don't . gabi : yeah , you do . rafe : no , i don't . would you stop it ? gabi : yeah , he thinks that , uh , everybody that abigail is saying is true , that i 'm the one making it look like she 's nuts , that i 'm framing her . kate : rafe , come on . you do n't believe that . gabi : he does , actually . and i really need you to back me up , because you saw gabby , right ? gabby attacked kate . would you please tell him ? kate : it 's true . unfortunately abigail 's mental illness has returned . gabi : there you go . kate told you . i mean , you trust her , do n't you ? she would never lie to you . abigail : [ laughing softly ] oh , my sweet girl . chad : she has your smile . abigail : w - was this from h -- his ... was this , um -- chad : yeah , that 's from the , uh -- his birthday . we went to the park . it was just the two of us . abigail : [ gasps ] he must think i forgot . chad : no , he doesn't . he knows you wanted to be there . i told him . i just ... i just told him that you had to go away for a while , okay ? [ soft dramatic music ] abigail : did you tell him why ? did you tell him why i had to go away for a little while ? did you tell him ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i had to go away ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i am missing his birthday , that i am missing thanksgiving ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it is because of you that i am not there every night to tuck him in at night ... chad : stop . abigail : and tell him that i love him ? do n't tell me to stop . that i am not there to hold his baby sister in my arms ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's not my choice ? that i 'm not there because of you , hmm ? [ crying ] get me out of here , chad . just get me out of here , please . i am begging you , just get me out . my children , they need me , and i need them . just go and -- please , just -- just go and get me out of here . i 'm -- i 'm begging you . if you love me even a little bit , at all ... please just get me out of here . ted : et violà . hope : thank you . ted : go on . take a bite . so what do you think ? hope : delicious . ted : yes ! hope : hmm . so how are you gon na do it ? how do you plan on getting the confession out of ben ? ted : come on , it 's lunchtime . we can talk about something more pleasant . hope : no , we ca n't , because we have a deal , remember ? ted : all right , okay . so i was thinking ... ben is my client . if he confessed to me , it 's not gon na be admissible in court . hope : thought about that angle , and i have a solution . [ sly music ] ted : a satellite phone ? hope : mm - hmm , exactly . the reception out here is pretty unreliable . you can use this to get the confession . ted : and how does that help us ? in any case , i can not testify whatever he tells me . hope : correct . but say -- hypothetically , of course -- the police tapped your phone for some , say , unrelated matter and happened to stumble upon ben 's confession by accident . ted : i like how you think . [ dramatic music ] stefan : okay , i 'll give you a shot . the moment you give me a reason to distrust you , you 're through . ben : thank you . thank you very much . stefan : [ clears throat ] ben : and i promise you , you do not have to worry . i 'm gon na put my head down , i 'm gon na work my ass off , and i 'm gon na provide you with the best damn security you could ever want . stefan : yeah . well , at the very least , my enemies will think twice before messing with a serial killer . ben : reformed . stefan : yeah . they do n't have to know that . ben : i do like your style , mr . dimera . stefan : why , thank you . ben : [ sighs ] so , um ... what kind of benefits come with this job ? stefan : [ laughs ] benefits ? what , like , uh , medical insurance ? ben : no , i was thinking more along the lines of a place to stay ? i would never ask this , but i am staying at a homeless shelter . stefan : that 's not my problem . ben : i know it 's not your problem , but if i am on the premise , i can better protect you . stefan : you 're pushing it . ben : i know . i know . there 's this girl -- stefan : nah , here we go . ben : [ clears throat ] and if i 'm going to be with her , i need to have my life together and at least a place to stay . stefan : okay . but you 're paying rent , and it 's coming out of your salary . deal ? ben : deal . stefan : welcome to my world , mr . weston . rafe : well , i am sorry that i ever doubted you . i want you to know that i 'm always here for you if you need me . gabi : thank you , rafe . i love you . rafe : i love you too . i should get back to work . give ari a kiss for me , okay ? kate , good to see you , as always . kate : good to see you too . rafe : yeah . [ tense music ] kate : damn you , forcing me to lie to the police like that ? gabi : the police ? it 's just rafe , okay ? calm down . he 's not gon na arrest you for protecting his sister . kate : oh , really ? because stranger things have happened . so ... i heard that you visited abigail at bayview . gabi : yes , i needed to make sure that the doctors were convinced that she was nuts . i just gave her a little final push over the edge . kate : ah . and how did you provoke that attack ? gabi : very simple . i just told her the truth , that i 'm the one that set everything up . kate : are you insane ? chad : i want you -- i want you to come home . you know that . abigail : then get me out of here . chad : i - i - i can't . the last time i saw you , you had gabi up against the wall . you were trying to strangle her . abigail : because she admitted that she set me up . chad : come on . abigail : she told me that she wanted revenge . she told me that . she told me that she wanted everyone to think that i was crazy so that she would ruin my life the way that i have ruined hers . chad : why would she admit that ? abigail : because she wants everybody to think that i 'm crazy . she knows that nobody will believe me . she knows that . and you 're playing right into her hands . chad : you said that she had the wig on her . abigail : she did . chad : where ? i did n't -- i did n't -- i did n't s -- i did n't see it . there was no wig . how do you explain that ? abigail : obviously she hid it somehow . i mean , c -- no , i ca n't -- i ca n't prove it . but you know what ? chad , i should n't have to , not with you . you love me . i should n't have to prove that . chad : yeah , you know i do . abigail : so then -- i mean , come on , why -- why -- why am i here ? with uncontrolled sonny : i hate to admit it , but everything that leo said about kate is ringing true . leo shows up here , desperate for me to marry him . if he 's telling the truth , that means kate nearly ruined my life , nearly ruined titan . and you know what ? she would 've done it . she would 've done it if chad had n't become ceo . will : do you think chad knew ? sonny : no , there 's no way he knew . he would never betray me like that . this is all kate . will : where you -- where you going ? sonny : where do you think i 'm going ? i 'm gon na go confront your grandmother . will : no . let me talk to her . if she did this to you , she 'll answer to me . [ tense music ] kate : i can not believe you were that foolish to confess to abigail . what if -- what happens when she decides that she needs to confide the truth to someone ? gabi : [ sighs ] kate , she 's -- no one 's gon na believe her because she 's crazy , remember ? kate : i suppose you threw me under the bus as well ? gabi : oh . yeah , i guess if abigail 's alter is n't real , then yeah , you lied . kate : great . that 's really great . gabi : you should have seen abigail 's face . okay , i took the gabby wig for dramatic effect , and it completely set her off . kate : i wonder why . gabi : oh , and then -- i mean , it was like i was lucky or something . chad walked in right when -- right when she attacked me . kate : did he see the wig ? gabi : oh , i was hiding it the whole time , but that was the best part , because you should 've seen abigail 's face when she could n't find the wig . it was like she went crazy . i mean , she 's gon na be stuck in that loony bin for a long time . kate : i suppose i could congratulate you on a mission accomplished , but instead you need to move on to the next phase , and that means telling chad the truth , telling him that he 's the father of the baby , not stefan . chad : abby ... i want to believe you . more than anything , i do . but i ca n't help but think about all those months that i had no idea that you split . a lot of people got hurt , and a lot of bad things happened . abigail : chad . hey , chad . look at me . chad , look at me . it 's me . it 's me . i 'm not ill . it 's me . chad : i 'm sorry . i can't . abigail : no . chad : for thomas and charlotte , i can't . abigail : then i guess there 's nothing i can do to change your mind . chad : you can , uh , get the help that you need . let the doctors help you . then when you 're integrated again , then you can come home and you can be with thomas and charlotte . abigail : just what makes you think you get to decide that for me , hmm ? chad : i 'm trying to help you . i love you . abigail : leave . get out . just -- just get out . i never want to see you again . just go . get out of here . no , just get out . orderly ! help ! help ! is there a problem here ? abigail : yes , he 's disturbing me . i want him to get out . time for you to go , sir . abigail : [ yells ] [ sobs ] [ breathing heavily ] leo : where 's your boyfriend ? sonny : out . leo : you know , once we 're married , i 'm not gon na let you and will humiliate me in front of all of salem . sonny : i think you 're forgetting one tiny little detail . i have n't agreed to marry you . leo : really , what choice do you have ? sonny : you 're a sadistic son of a bitch . leo : and you have a flair for the dramatic . honestly , i 'm not that bad . look , i 'll even take a little pressure off . i will give you 24 hours to make a decision . sonny : wow , you 're gon na give me a whole 24 hours ? leo : told you , i 'm a prince . but fair warning ? if i do n't end up with a ring on my finger , i 'm going to destroy you ... and the cute little twink too .

[ chuckling ] mm - hmm . mmm ! babe , listen , i will feel a little more honeymoon - y when we find a replacement for this nanny . i feel bad for theresa , but the timing could not be more terrible . rick : she did n't say how long ? maya : no , she just said that , uh , things got worse and she 's gon na have to stay longer . we have to figure this out . i ca n't ask nicole to put her life on hold while she takes care of our child . dr. caspary : nicole , we 're talking about possibilities , not a diagnosis . these uterine adhesions , the scarring we discussed ? it may have something to do with why you 're not getting pregnant as quickly as the first time . but we do n't consider anyone infertile until after a year of unprotected sex . and you 've only been married a number of months ? nicole : yes . dr. caspary : so it 's really too soon to officially call it secondary infertility , okay ? zende : hey , pam . charlie . charlie : hey . zende : ridge is expecting me . pam : oh , okay , well , head on in , then . zende : do you know what this meeting 's about ? pam : i did n't know there was one . zende : okay . pam : [ sighs ] charlie , what can i make for ridge that would be really special ? charlie : i do n't know , pammy . everything you do is special . pam : but did you see his face ? charlie : i did . pam : he 's devastated . charlie : gee , i do n't know , he looked pretty much the same to me . mildly annoyed . pam : he 's my nephew ! my sister 's pride and joy . and he 's been loving brooke for more than half his life . charlie : yeah , loving and leaving , the way i hear it . pam : now , charlie ... i can tell that he 's covering . he is clearly heartbroken over losing brooke to bill . charlie : wait a minute , you got all that from the 10 seconds he was here ? pam : yes ! i did . which only further disproves your ridiculous claim that he was ever interested in quinn . ridge : thanks for coming on short notice . have a seat . zende : are we waiting on anyone else ? i know maya and rick are both gone , and brooke -- sorry . ridge : it 's okay . i 'm , uh ... i 'm good hearing brooke 's name , more or less . zende : what about thomas ? steffy : actually , we 're not waiting for anyone else . ridge : no , we 're all here . and i should probably start by telling you that i fired thomas . zende : what ? steffy : do n't look at me . ridge : call me old - fashioned , but i do n't like the idea of someone giving money to the company that stole from us . zende : right , i 'm sure he did n't mean to ... steffy : thomas expressed his unhappiness in many ways . that was n't the first . ridge : no . zende : he 's hot - headed , yeah , but he 's family . ridge : he is family . it 's all gon na work itself out . but , right now , we have to put a line into production , and we 're short a designer . zende : call me crazy , but , look , i would n't call myself a designer just yet . i 'm not thomas . i 'm not being humble and i do n't lack confidence . it 's just ... all i 've done so far is model my work after you and after granddad 's . steffy : i think that 's an honest assessment . ridge : i 'm glad you said that . 'cause we 're not looking for some young guy to come in here and just have this burning desire to be different . i need someone who understands the sense and the sensibility and the style of this house , who knows the look of forrester and who can take direction . zende : i can do that . ridge : you 're gon na have to prove it to me . zende : i can do that , too . r.j. : and there you go ! now , i do n't want to say `` i told you so , `` all right ? but ... coco : okay . you did it . r.j. : mm - hmm . coco : you know , you said you could do it , and you did it . [ both laugh ] coco : aww ! lizzy looks so much more comfortable . what ? r.j. : you just look so right with a baby , that 's all . coco : okay , well , i 'll probably look a bit righter in about 10 years . r.j. : agreed . yeah . coco : yeah , okay , so we 'll let maya be the mom for now ? r.j. : yeah . [ laughs ] coco : okay .

[ exhales sharply ] rick : hey , hey , hey , hey ! where you going ? maya : do you know what ? i am so tired , i thought i was about to go check on lizzy . rick : you know , it is weird not being able to put her to bed , being able to hear her ... maya : maybe we should have brought a baby monitor . rick : yeah , i 'm pretty sure those things do n't work transatlantically . maya : yeah , but it would remind us that we love her . rick : mm - hmm . maya : mmm . rick : i love you . maya : i love you . steffy : you 're gon na be working more hours . ridge : that is the understatement of the year . steffy : and you 'll find as you move through married life , there 's a tangled relationship between work responsibilities and domestic bliss . zende : you two know the company better than i do , but i know my wife . if i do n't walk out of here by not just saying `` yes , `` but `` hell , yes , `` i will never hear the last of it . she would want this for me . she just wants me to be happy . ridge : so , we 're good ? zende : yeah . i just want to thank you both again . i had always hoped for an opportunity like this , but i never knew it would come so soon . i love this family . i have n't always felt accepted . i do n't have a forrester last name . i do n't exactly have forrester blood in me . neither do i , if you want to be technical about it . zende : right . i just -- i appreciate it . it means a lot to me . steffy : hey , every thanksgiving , i look around the table , and i wonder if i had brought a stranger in , like , how would i explain everyone on how we 're connected , and that would just take till christmas . ridge : but to be fair , his story would be one of the easier ones to tell . my sister and tony did n't feel they had a home until you were in it . zende : yeah . you do n't mind if i call them , right ? ridge : i do n't see why not . zende : thanks . i am so excited to tell nicole . we are gon na celebrate . r.j. : ... fell off and bumped his head . mama called the doctor , and the doctor said -- coco : this is incredible storytelling . r.j. : `` no more monkeys eating in bed ?

r.j. : oh , um , my dad needed him in the office . he probably texted you . nicole : oh . there 's a text from maya . they landed safely in paris . still looking for a nanny . r.j. : with all of us to help out , that should be secondary , right ? nicole : secondary ... r.j. : i mean , they should just enjoy themselves . coco : right . nicole : i 'm sure they will . you two should go . i 've got lizzy handled . coco : it was so nice . we honestly -- we had so much fun . r.j. : you hungry ? coco : are you ever not hungry ? r.j. : ehh . coco : [ laughs ] [ lizzy babbling ] [ door opens , closes ] nicole : come here . what do you dream about ? you do n't have any memories yet . do you dream about me , and all that time being part of me ? inside of me ... do you dream about being born ? that did n't hurt you , did it ? i did n't think it hurt me , either . but the doctor says that ... but they might be wrong . it ca n't be secondary . | ridge is in a foul mood . he tells steffy he knows he screwed up and brooke is not here right now and he knows where she is . all they need now is for thomas to get their money back and start over . he calls zende who is babysitting lizzie . he tells him he needs to see him at the office right away . zende looks to rj and coco who give him the nod to go . zende walks in and ridge tells him to sit down . the meeting does not include anyone else , just them . he fired thomas and he needs another designer . call him old fashioned but he does not believe in keeping someone who would give their money to someone who stole from them . zende admits he is not a designer yet and he feels badly for thomas but he will do his best . he thanks them and says he will not let them down . ridge reminds him he will be working 24/7 until their showing is ready . if he does that and works hard then being a forrester designer will be just down the road . | <s>[INST] charlie : no , no , no , no . wait , wait , wait , wait . pam : charlie -- charlie : you said paris ?

[ exhales sharply ] rick : hey , hey , hey , hey ! where you going ? maya : do you know what ? i am so tired , i thought i was about to go check on lizzy . rick : you know , it is weird not being able to put her to bed , being able to hear her ... maya : maybe we should have brought a baby monitor . rick : yeah , i 'm pretty sure those things do n't work transatlantically . maya : yeah , but it would remind us that we love her . rick : mm - hmm . maya : mmm . rick : i love you . maya : i love you . steffy : you 're gon na be working more hours . ridge : that is the understatement of the year . steffy : and you 'll find as you move through married life , there 's a tangled relationship between work responsibilities and domestic bliss . zende : you two know the company better than i do , but i know my wife . if i do n't walk out of here by not just saying `` yes , `` but `` hell , yes , `` i will never hear the last of it . she would want this for me . she just wants me to be happy . ridge : so , we 're good ? zende : yeah . i just want to thank you both again . i had always hoped for an opportunity like this , but i never knew it would come so soon . i love this family . i have n't always felt accepted . i do n't have a forrester last name . i do n't exactly have forrester blood in me . neither do i , if you want to be technical about it . zende : right . i just -- i appreciate it . it means a lot to me . steffy : hey , every thanksgiving , i look around the table , and i wonder if i had brought a stranger in , like , how would i explain everyone on how we 're connected , and that would just take till christmas . ridge : but to be fair , his story would be one of the easier ones to tell . my sister and tony did n't feel they had a home until you were in it . zende : yeah . you do n't mind if i call them , right ? ridge : i do n't see why not . zende : thanks . i am so excited to tell nicole . we are gon na celebrate . r.j. : ... fell off and bumped his head . mama called the doctor , and the doctor said -- coco : this is incredible storytelling . r.j. : `` no more monkeys eating in bed ? `` coco : oh , hey , nicole ! hey ! r.j. : hey ! coco : lizzy 's just having some fun in her playpen . so , r.j. changed her and fed her , and ... he was awesome . r.j. : i was , yeah . coco : you were awesome . r.j. : i also had to change my shirt . i was n't sure if it was more manly to wear the spit - up or not , so ... coco : mm , debatable . nicole : where 's zende ? r.j. : oh , um , my dad needed him in the office . he probably texted you . nicole : oh . there 's a text from maya . they landed safely in paris . still looking for a nanny . r.j. : with all of us to help out , that should be secondary , right ? nicole : secondary ... r.j. : i mean , they should just enjoy themselves . coco : right . nicole : i 'm sure they will . you two should go . i 've got lizzy handled . coco : it was so nice . we honestly -- we had so much fun . r.j. : you hungry ? coco : are you ever not hungry ? r.j. : ehh . coco : [ laughs ] [ lizzy babbling ] [ door opens , closes ] nicole : come here . what do you dream about ? you do n't have any memories yet . do you dream about me , and all that time being part of me ? inside of me ... do you dream about being born ? that did n't hurt you , did it ? i did n't think it hurt me , either . but the doctor says that ... but they might be wrong . it ca n't be secondary .Summarize.[/INST]ridge is in a foul mood . he tells steffy he knows he screwed up and brooke is not here right now and he knows where she is . all they need now is for thomas to get their money back and start over . he calls zende who is babysitting lizzie . he tells him he needs to see him at the office right away . zende looks to rj and coco who give him the nod to go . zende walks in and ridge tells him to sit down . the meeting does not include anyone else , just them . he fired thomas and he needs another designer . call him old fashioned but he does not believe in keeping someone who would give their money to someone who stole from them . zende admits he is not a designer yet and he feels badly for thomas but he will do his best . he thanks them and says he will not let them down . ridge reminds him he will be working 24/7 until their showing is ready . if he does that and works hard then being a forrester designer will be just down the road .</s> | 4,365 |

[ bob laughs ] bob : well , that depends . why do n't you want to have children ? henry : it 's an intellectual decision . bob : oh , i see . you 're scared . henry : more like terrified .

[ scene_break ] lily : i 'm so happy noah 's staying with us for a few days while he recuperates . holden : yeah , me too . you know what i was thinking ? i was thinking maybe -- maybe i could take the boys to a cubs game today . lily : do n't you think it 's too soon ? holden : no . doctor said that he can do normal activities . lily : yeah , but a baseball game can last for hours . i 'm worrying too much , are n't i ? holden : well , it 's not like he 's gon na be playing at a game . he 's gon na be sitting there . he 's gon na be watching it . and it will be a nice change of pace . plus it will give me a chance to spend some quality time with luke . lily : this is n't a competition , holden . holden : it is . it is competition . it 's a baseball game . lily : i 'm not talking about the game . you have nothing to prove . holden : and who do i have nothing to prove to ? lily : you have nothing to fear from damian . luke already knows what a loving father you are . holden : it 's a baseball game , lily . lily : right . and i 'm sure you and the boys will have a great time . holden : why do n't you join us , make it a foursome ? lily : ah ! as much fun as that sounds , i have a lot of work with the foundation to catch up on . holden : alone ? lily : that 's the plan . i 'll be there all day . i hope you and the boy have a good time . [ scene_break ] luke : well , the shoe is on the other foot now , mayer . you have to let me take care of you . noah : mm . i like the sound of that . [ luke laughs ] luke : down , boy . i was talking about like changing your bandages and stuff . noah : oh . i was thinking more along the lines of physical therapy . luke : huh . not on my parents ' porch . but do n't worry . soon , we are gon na have a place of our own . noah : wow . luke : yeah . `` wow . `` holden : hey , guys . [ luke chuckles ] luke : hey , dad . holden : noah . how are you feeling ? noah : great , all things considered . holden : think you guys might be up for a cubs game ? noah : yeah , sure . why not ? holden : i 'm gon na see if i can get three tickets . [ luke laughs ] noah : can your dad really get cubs tickets on such short notice ? luke : yeah . he and the ticket broker go way back . he can get tickets for the bears , the cubs , the bulls . pick your beast . noah : that 's so cool . your dad is so cool . you have two really great dads . [ scene_break ] lily : oh . i did n't expect to see you here . damian : did i startle you ? lily : i 'm okay . damian : uh , listen , i just -- i just thought that for me to be of any use to the foundation , i needed to know more about it . so i hope you do n't mind . lily : of course not . luke : i was just telling noah about all the great seats you used to get for us when i was a kid . holden : really ? um , unfortunately , i have bad news . the cubs are away . they 're playing in new york . they 're playing the mets . luke : oh . well , i guess some other time , then . holden : unless -- you know , there might be a way to make this work . if i can get lucinda 's jet , maybe we could get that and be in new york before the first inning . what do you think ? luke : all the way to new york ? i do n't know if noah 's up for it . noah : speak for yourself . are you kidding ? even i can be spontaneous for the cubs . luke : okay , okay , all right . then let 's go . [ scene_break ] damian : actually , i had a reason for wanting to review the foundation 's programs today . my friend , antoine laudel , has his own foundation which serves disabled children . i thought he might be interested in joining forces with luke . lily : that 'd be fantastic . luke 's wanted for a while to expand the outreach of the foundation . damian : i remember you saying that . so i contacted antoine . lily : and ? damian : and he 's in new york today on business , so i booked a flight to meet with him before he returns to paris . actually , i should be leaving very soon if i do n't want to miss my flight . lily : well , good luck . i hope the meeting 's a big success . damian : you mean that ? lily : of course i do . damian : well , then come to new york with me . lily : i do n't think me going to new york is a good idea . damian : why not ? it 's a quick flight . and the meeting itself wo n't be very long . i guarantee you 'll be back by dinnertime . lily : i 'd just be in the way . damian : believe me , you wo n't be in the way . antoine laudel has always had an eye for a beautiful woman . [ lily laughs ] lily : thanks for wanting me along for my business skills . damian : your beauty is only one of the many reasons why you should come . you know so many things i do n't -- the history of the foundation , all the programs . you can speak from the heart , cara , where i can only recite what i read . lily : i do n't know . damian : i really want to make this happen for luke 's sake . it could bring a much higher profile to the foundation . et tu parles françois , n'est - ce pas ? [ lily chuckles ] lily : my french is n't what it used to be , damian . i can still make myself understood . damian : what are we waiting for ? allons - y . lily : allons - y . [ scene_break ] katie : it 's just that henry was acting so weird when we were talking with that pediatric geneticist . brad : yeah , the shmeglitz guy . katie : and it 's not the first time that i 've gotten a really odd vibe from him when it comes to this baby ! vienna : well , brad 's probably right . it 's just normal anxiety . that 's all . brad : time . i mean , he probably just needs time . katie : well , good . that 's what we 're giving him . vienna : yes . katie : we 're gon na give him some time instead of insisting that he 's part of every little part of this process . vienna : right , right . but keeping him in the dark will only make it worse ! katie : we 'll tell him about the childbirth classes later . not today . today 's the first day , and i really want to enjoy it . and i 'm not gon na be able to do that if i 'm worried about henry . so please , just for today ? just this once . vienna : sure . whatever you want . it 's your baby . [ scene_break ] henry : i was a -- a father to my sisters , because my parents were either awol or crazy . and there was a lot of good times . i would n't have traded raising maddie for anything in the world . but most of all , it was a thankless job . and , uh , i did happen to raise a psycho killer . you remember eve ? so -- i think the world would be a better place if i just swore off fatherhood altogether . bob : what happened with eve would have happened no matter what you did . i know you love maddie . but having a child , whether it 's biological or adopted , is a lot different than taking care of younger siblings . it 's a different level of love . henry : but you still get the sorrow and the worry and the heartache , right ? bob : but i 'll tell you , when you hold your child and you look into those eyes , nothing will ever be the same again . it 's a profound experience -- maybe the most profound experience . be a shame if you missed out on that . henry : it 's obviously meant a lot to you . but i 'm not you . bob : listen , nothing says you ca n't be a good father if you want to be . it 's your choice . [ cell phone rings ] bob : that 's kim . i got to take it . henry : sure . bob : hello , there . kim : hello yourself . [ kim laughs ] kim : listen , sweetie . i 'm trying to schedule a childbirth class for brad , katie , and vienna this afternoon for a reality show . and i 'm wondering if you have a room here in the hospital that we might use . bob : uh , tell perri she can use room 302 . kim : fabulous . that 's a huge help , darling . bob : nice to have connections , huh ? i 'll see you later . well , henry , you 're really in a unique situation . [ henry chuckles ] henry : you bet i am . i mean what ? bob : well , you and vienna are going to have a dress rehearsal in parenthood without the obligation . henry : come again ? bob : well , kim just told me that vienna 's going to the hospital for a childbirth class . henry : when ? bob : later today , with katie and brad and one of our instructors . henry : really ? bob : yeah . henry : well , if they think they 're doing that without me , they 've got another thing coming . [ scene_break ] perri : hello , and welcome to the first in our series of childbirth classes . why do n't we begin with an easy question ? which one is the mother ? [ perri laughs ] perri : not such an easy question . katie : i 'm the mother . this is our dear friend vienna . she 's our surrogate . perri : oh . okay , vienna , why do n't you come and stand over here ? is this your first experience with childbirth ? vienna : yes , it is . perri : oh . well , many of the new mothers feel overwhelmed by the experience . it 's the lack of knowing what 's going to happen that causes the anxiety and the fears . vienna : oh , i 'm not afraid . katie : right . vienna and i have been reading up on all of this . oh , and we 've decided to do this completely naturally -- no medication . vienna : no , actually , we have n't really decided that yet . katie : yeah , we talked about that , the effect the medication can have on the baby . vienna : well , what about the affect it has on the mother ? a little bit of medication will take all the pain away . katie : but what about what 's good for the baby . brad : you know what ? you know what ? we can ask perri all that after class . and right now , she 's supposed to be running things , so why do n't we just let her run them ? perri : okay . well , the first thing we 're gon na start with is relaxation exercises . vienna , why do n't you lie down here on the floor ? vienna : okay . perri : i 'll get a pillow for you . okay . just relax your body . that 's it . let all of the tension go . vienna : oh , i do n't have any tension . perri : oh , well , maybe not right now , but when you do , these exercises are gon na come in very handy . now , brad and katie , why do n't you lie on either side of vienna . brad : okay . perri : i find that it 's very helpful for the coaches to share as many experiences as possible with the birth mother . katie : i think it makes sense for the mothers to lay next to each other , do n't you , perri ? perri : whatever you 're comfortable with . okay . now , let 's just all be silent . close your eyes . let 's listen to the rhythm of our breathing . on the count of three , we 're going to inhale . 1 , 2 , 3 . and on the count of three , exhale . 1 , 2 , and 3 . [ vienna exhales ] [ cell phone rings ] vienna : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i need to take this . i 'll be back breathing in a minute . [ vienna groans ] vienna : hello , henry . henry : hello , liebchen . what 's new ? vienna : you sound angry . henry : angry ? what should i have to be angry about ? it 's not like you and brad and katie are at a childbirth class that you did n't tell me about . vienna : i wanted to tell you , but they would n't let me . henry : clearly they let you have phone privileges . you could have called . vienna : yeah , well , you 're not missing out on anything . all we 're doing right now is learning how to breathe . henry : breathe ? that sounds -- that sounds really nice to me , because i feel like i have a giant stone sitting on my chest . actually , you know what ? its two stones shaped like katie and brad . how could they do this ? whose baby do they think this is ? vienna : they think it 's brad 's baby . and do n't you forget it ! [ scene_break ] damian : you were incredible . you completely blew antoine away . [ lily chuckles ] lily : you really think so ? damian : i know so ! it 's unusual for him to be so generous to a foundation as new as this one , and it 's all due to you . lily : well , thank you . but i got the feeling that mr. laudel was in debt to you in some way . did you do something for him in the past ? do i not want to know ? damian : i just let him in on a few good business opportunities . that 's all . nothing questionable . lily : i did n't mean to imply . i know you 've changed , damian . damian : if you trust that , then trust me now . we made a big impression on monsieur laudel . and you know why ? because we make a great team . that 's why . [ lily laughs ] [ scene_break ] vienna : ahh . oh , this is wonderful . but what does this have to do with giving birth ? perri : well , this is just one of many techniques that 's gon na help you to relax , both in pregnancy and during labor . you 're very lucky to have two coaches . for example , and this is something i normally would n't teach until the end of the third trimester , but it can give you a way of understanding how you can work together during the actual birth itself , okay ? now , um , vienna , lets have you lie down , just like this . and let 's bring your knees up . okay , just like this . now , katie , you 're gon na stay right there her head . and , brad , let 's position you right here . katie : there ? uh , really ? perri : now , katie , your job is going to be to count vienna 's breaths and make sure she 's breathing correctly . brad , you 're gon na offer encouraging words . you 're gon na support the doctor and just help vienna to relax . katie : yeah , i do n't know how relaxed i 'm gon na be with my husband looking , uh , you know -- [ vienna laughing ] vienna : i 'm never gon na get used to how prudish you americans are . i mean -- [ vienna stammers ] vienna : -- i could be laying here naked , and it would n't mean a thing to brad , would it ? brad : uh -- vienna : you see ? all he can see is the mother of his child , not a woman . perri : well , you 're right about one thing , vienna . your body is not gon na be viewed in a sensual way , because it 's doing a very important job . it is the gateway to parenthood . brad : okay . i 'll just hang out down here by vienna 's gateway . and , um , i 'm not exactly -- i 'm not exactly sure what -- perri : okay , now , lets just do a mock childbirth exercise , okay ? vienna , you start panting . katie , i want you to start counting her breaths . katie : 1 , 2 -- brad : okay , what am i supposed to do ? perri : you 're supposed to be offering encouraging words . it 's a very stressful time for the mother , and you 're gon na be giving vienna all the support you can . brad : okay , all right . okay , all right , all right . all right , vienna ! you can do it ! come on ! you can do this ! come on ! we 're going all the way with this here ! bring it home , baby ! kick that baby right through your gateway ! henry : hey , hey , hey , hey ! what are you doing to her ? ! [ scene_break ] luke : that was an awesome game . noah : yeah . you know , the best part for me was just seeing the city from the plane as we landed . luke : yeah . you got the skyline , statue of liberty -- the whole nine yards . noah : last time i was here was such a short time . was not the best time , either . luke : well , maybe we can replace some of those bad memories with some new , better ones . holden : maybe we can stick around for a few hours after we eat . anything else you guys want to do while we 're here ? noah : do we have time . holden : hey , we got lucinda 's jet . we can do anything we want to do . you know , there was this restaurant that your mother and i went to a couple of years ago . let me see if i can find it . i 'll call you guys and let you know where i am . speaking of which , i need to call your mother , let her know where we are . luke : okay , that sounds great . and -- and we 'll just meet you at the restaurant ? holden : sounds good . you guys take all the time you need , all right ?

[ luke laughs ] luke : yeah . how about tomorrow ? noah : no , i 'm -- i 'm serious . i mean , we could finish school here . we could get our own place . we could start our own lives here . luke : that sounds great . noah : but ? luke : but i got to be honest with you . i ca n't picture myself here , at least not permanently . maybe i 'm just too attached to my family . noah : i understand that . i mean , you guys are really close . luke : well , maybe we can move here later -- like way later , like 10 years from now .

[ henry chuckles ] perri : katie , let me introduce you to your botbaby . katie : oh , my god ! perri : cries , it wets and generally acts like a real baby until you rock it , burp it , or change it . it 's great parent practice . brad : you mean it 's not -- it 's not wet right now , is it ? perri : well , if it is , you 're gon na have to change it . if you do n't take care of botbaby , if you leave it alone , dies . vienna : it could die ? katie ? what ? ! that 's horrible ! brad : oh , no . no baby of ours is gon na give up the ghost , not even babybot . katie : botbaby . brad : botbaby . vienna : oh . well , that botbaby sounds very unhappy .

[ crying stops ] henry : ah , you 're a genius ! katie : i knew you were the right man for the job . perri : one of the biggest controversies in the childcare community is whether or not you ever allow a baby to cry itself to sleep . brad : well , it 's got to man up sometime , right ? katie : do you hear yourself half the time ? you 're only saying that because you can sleep through anything . brad : well , i mean , if you think i 'm gon na wake up every time little brad or bradette cries , i mean , no way . perri : as you can see , problems that were academic before the baby was born are anything but when the time comes ? vienna : like if the mother should take pain medication during labor ? katie : we 'll talk about that later . henry , give me my botbaby . henry ? where is he ?

[ kim laughs ] bob : lisa told me that she was pregnant with tom , i was scared out of my wits . kim : yes , but , i mean , that had more to do with what was going on with lisa . that did n't have anything to do with tom , right ? bob : i guess you 're right . but then again , things all managed to work out . kim : yeah , they certainly did with tom . let 's hope we 're as lucky with chris . it 's never been easy sliding with him . bob : mm , certainly not recently . but he knows we both love him , and that 's all we can do right now . kim : mm . bob : ooh ! what did i do to deserve that ?

[ scene_break ] henry : i was a -- a father to my sisters , because my parents were either awol or crazy . and there was a lot of good times . i would n't have traded raising maddie for anything in the world . but most of all , it was a thankless job . and , uh , i did happen to raise a psycho killer . you remember eve ? so -- i think the world would be a better place if i just swore off fatherhood altogether . bob : what happened with eve would have happened no matter what you did . i know you love maddie . but having a child , whether it 's biological or adopted , is a lot different than taking care of younger siblings . it 's a different level of love . henry : but you still get the sorrow and the worry and the heartache , right ? bob : but i 'll tell you , when you hold your child and you look into those eyes , nothing will ever be the same again . it 's a profound experience -- maybe the most profound experience . be a shame if you missed out on that . henry : it 's obviously meant a lot to you . but i 'm not you . bob : listen , nothing says you ca n't be a good father if you want to be . it 's your choice . [ cell phone rings ] bob : that 's kim . i got to take it . henry : sure . bob : hello , there . kim : hello yourself . [ kim laughs ] kim : listen , sweetie . i 'm trying to schedule a childbirth class for brad , katie , and vienna this afternoon for a reality show . and i 'm wondering if you have a room here in the hospital that we might use . bob : uh , tell perri she can use room 302 . kim : fabulous . that 's a huge help , darling . bob : nice to have connections , huh ? i 'll see you later . well , henry , you 're really in a unique situation . [ henry chuckles ] henry : you bet i am . i mean what ? bob : well , you and vienna are going to have a dress rehearsal in parenthood without the obligation . henry : come again ? bob : well , kim just told me that vienna 's going to the hospital for a childbirth class . henry : when ? bob : later today , with katie and brad and one of our instructors . henry : really ? bob : yeah . henry : well , if they think they 're doing that without me , they 've got another thing coming . [ scene_break ] perri : hello , and welcome to the first in our series of childbirth classes . why do n't we begin with an easy question ? which one is the mother ? [ perri laughs ] perri : not such an easy question . katie : i 'm the mother . this is our dear friend vienna . she 's our surrogate . perri : oh . okay , vienna , why do n't you come and stand over here ? is this your first experience with childbirth ? vienna : yes , it is . perri : oh . well , many of the new mothers feel overwhelmed by the experience . it 's the lack of knowing what 's going to happen that causes the anxiety and the fears . vienna : oh , i 'm not afraid . katie : right . vienna and i have been reading up on all of this . oh , and we 've decided to do this completely naturally -- no medication . vienna : no , actually , we have n't really decided that yet . katie : yeah , we talked about that , the effect the medication can have on the baby . vienna : well , what about the affect it has on the mother ? a little bit of medication will take all the pain away . katie : but what about what 's good for the baby . brad : you know what ? you know what ? we can ask perri all that after class . and right now , she 's supposed to be running things , so why do n't we just let her run them ? perri : okay . well , the first thing we 're gon na start with is relaxation exercises . vienna , why do n't you lie down here on the floor ? vienna : okay . perri : i 'll get a pillow for you . okay . just relax your body . that 's it . let all of the tension go . vienna : oh , i do n't have any tension . perri : oh , well , maybe not right now , but when you do , these exercises are gon na come in very handy . now , brad and katie , why do n't you lie on either side of vienna . brad : okay . perri : i find that it 's very helpful for the coaches to share as many experiences as possible with the birth mother . katie : i think it makes sense for the mothers to lay next to each other , do n't you , perri ? perri : whatever you 're comfortable with . okay . now , let 's just all be silent . close your eyes . let 's listen to the rhythm of our breathing . on the count of three , we 're going to inhale . 1 , 2 , 3 . and on the count of three , exhale . 1 , 2 , and 3 . [ vienna exhales ] [ cell phone rings ] vienna : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i need to take this . i 'll be back breathing in a minute . [ vienna groans ] vienna : hello , henry . henry : hello , liebchen . what 's new ? vienna : you sound angry . henry : angry ? what should i have to be angry about ? it 's not like you and brad and katie are at a childbirth class that you did n't tell me about . vienna : i wanted to tell you , but they would n't let me . henry : clearly they let you have phone privileges . you could have called . vienna : yeah , well , you 're not missing out on anything . all we 're doing right now is learning how to breathe . henry : breathe ? that sounds -- that sounds really nice to me , because i feel like i have a giant stone sitting on my chest . actually , you know what ? its two stones shaped like katie and brad . how could they do this ? whose baby do they think this is ? vienna : they think it 's brad 's baby . and do n't you forget it ! [ scene_break ] damian : you were incredible . you completely blew antoine away . [ lily chuckles ] lily : you really think so ? damian : i know so ! it 's unusual for him to be so generous to a foundation as new as this one , and it 's all due to you . lily : well , thank you . but i got the feeling that mr. laudel was in debt to you in some way . did you do something for him in the past ? do i not want to know ? damian : i just let him in on a few good business opportunities . that 's all . nothing questionable . lily : i did n't mean to imply . i know you 've changed , damian . damian : if you trust that , then trust me now . we made a big impression on monsieur laudel . and you know why ? because we make a great team . that 's why . [ lily laughs ] [ scene_break ] vienna : ahh . oh , this is wonderful . but what does this have to do with giving birth ? perri : well , this is just one of many techniques that 's gon na help you to relax , both in pregnancy and during labor . you 're very lucky to have two coaches . for example , and this is something i normally would n't teach until the end of the third trimester , but it can give you a way of understanding how you can work together during the actual birth itself , okay ? now , um , vienna , lets have you lie down , just like this . and let 's bring your knees up . okay , just like this . now , katie , you 're gon na stay right there her head . and , brad , let 's position you right here . katie : there ? uh , really ? perri : now , katie , your job is going to be to count vienna 's breaths and make sure she 's breathing correctly . brad , you 're gon na offer encouraging words . you 're gon na support the doctor and just help vienna to relax . katie : yeah , i do n't know how relaxed i 'm gon na be with my husband looking , uh , you know -- [ vienna laughing ] vienna : i 'm never gon na get used to how prudish you americans are . i mean -- [ vienna stammers ] vienna : -- i could be laying here naked , and it would n't mean a thing to brad , would it ? brad : uh -- vienna : you see ? all he can see is the mother of his child , not a woman . perri : well , you 're right about one thing , vienna . your body is not gon na be viewed in a sensual way , because it 's doing a very important job . it is the gateway to parenthood . brad : okay . i 'll just hang out down here by vienna 's gateway . and , um , i 'm not exactly -- i 'm not exactly sure what -- perri : okay , now , lets just do a mock childbirth exercise , okay ? vienna , you start panting . katie , i want you to start counting her breaths . katie : 1 , 2 -- brad : okay , what am i supposed to do ? perri : you 're supposed to be offering encouraging words . it 's a very stressful time for the mother , and you 're gon na be giving vienna all the support you can . brad : okay , all right . okay , all right , all right . all right , vienna ! you can do it ! come on ! you can do this ! come on ! we 're going all the way with this here ! bring it home , baby ! kick that baby right through your gateway ! henry : hey , hey , hey , hey ! what are you doing to her ? ! [ scene_break ] luke : that was an awesome game . noah : yeah . you know , the best part for me was just seeing the city from the plane as we landed . luke : yeah . you got the skyline , statue of liberty -- the whole nine yards . noah : last time i was here was such a short time . was not the best time , either . luke : well , maybe we can replace some of those bad memories with some new , better ones . holden : maybe we can stick around for a few hours after we eat . anything else you guys want to do while we 're here ? noah : do we have time . holden : hey , we got lucinda 's jet . we can do anything we want to do . you know , there was this restaurant that your mother and i went to a couple of years ago . let me see if i can find it . i 'll call you guys and let you know where i am . speaking of which , i need to call your mother , let her know where we are . luke : okay , that sounds great . and -- and we 'll just meet you at the restaurant ? holden : sounds good . you guys take all the time you need , all right ? [ luke laughs ] luke : thanks , dad . noah : we 'll be expecting your call . [ scene_break ] henry : you get away from her ! brad : take it easy . i was just looking at her as a gateway , i swear ! henry : consider her gateway closed , all right ? brad : okay , cut . cut . kim : no . keep it rolling . cameraman : sorry , dude . kim : okay , let 's take this outside . katie : let me . let me . what do you think you 're doing ? henry : what am i doing ? what is your husband doing ? ! no wonder he did n't want me to show up here . katie : i 'm the one who did n't want you here ! henry : you ? katie : yeah . you 're acting completely insane right now ! henry : i 'm sorry , katie . see how you react when someone tries to cut you out of the birth of your -- your best friend 's baby , okay ? katie : look , you know how much brad and i appreciate everything you and vienna are doing for us . and maybe it was a bad idea not to include you in this class . henry : oh , there 's no `` maybe `` about it . katie : but lately , you have been acting really possessive and jealous and just weird ! henry : weird ? ! i 've been acting weird ? ! maybe it 's because -- [ henry stammers ] henry : it does n't get weirder than this , okay ? ! katie : you and i have been in a lot weirder situations together . so tell me , please , what is going on with you ? ! henry : i just -- look we are about to take responsibility for this whole new life . katie : yeah . henry : yes , and it 's -- it 's not one with pink eyes and a fluffy tail , okay ? katie : are you having second thoughts about this arrangement ? because if you are , we are having a bigger problem than i thought . henry : you 've got a problem , sweetheart . that 's what i 've been trying to tell you . children are nothing but trouble . katie : that 's why brad and i are gon na raise the baby , not you ! you ca n't change your mind now , you know ? ! we 're past the point of no return . [ scene_break ] damian : you know , we have some time before our plane leaves . maybe we should , uh , grab a bite to eat somewhere . lily : i think we should head to the airport , just to be on the safe side . damian : are you sure you want to give up this opportunity ? thousands of wonderful restaurants are calling us . ca n't you hear them ? `` lily ! lily , come and eat ! lily ! `` [ lily laughs ] lily : i do know a wonderful restaurant not far from here , and i have n't been there in ages . holden : you know what ? give me a soda . i 'll have a ginger ale . lily : holden ! i was just about to call you . holden : listen , you 're never gon na guess where i am . lily : that 's so funny , because you 'll never guess where i 'm sitting right now . holden : do you remember that restaurant that we went to a couple of years ago in new york ? lily : how did you know ? holden : how did i know what ? lily : where i was . holden : no , no , no . i 'm talking about where i am . lily : you do n't mean -- [ both laughing ] holden : i do n't believe this . lily : you first ! holden : well , the cubs were playing the mets , so we borrowed lucinda 's jet , and we came to new york . lily : i did n't realize you were so desperate to see the cubs . holden : well , i was n't desperate , but i wanted to do something special for the boys . and i 'm glad i did . turns out we had a great time . lily : oh , i 'm sure you all needed it . holden : how did you end up in new york ? lily : i had an impromptu business meeting . holden : you know what ? this reminds me of that movie that my mother loved so much where that couple , they go to new york . what -- what 's the name of it ? lily : `` an affair to remember . `` holden : that 's it , that 's it . so , how did you remember this place ? lily : we had such an incredible time here . how could i forget ? holden : we did have a good time . had a pretty good time afterwards , yeah . lily : you remember that , too , i see . holden : i do n't know if it was the wine or if it was the restaurant or just being in new york , but it was a good time . lily : yeah , it was . where are the boys ? did you just leave them to fend for themselves ? holden : no , they 're gon na hook up with us a little bit later . so why do n't we just , uh , sit here , have a nice lunch , and , uh , have a romantic afternoon together ? damian : holden . what a surprise . holden : this is , uh -- this is quite a surprise , damian . lily : holden was just telling me how he brought the boys to new york to see a cubs game , and i was just about to explain about mr. laurel . damian : i triumph , thanks to your wife . i 'm glad you 're here so she can tell you all about it . holden : oh , i ca n't wait . damian : what a coincidence , huh , to end up in the same restaurant ? but , of course , lily mentioned that she 'd been here with you before , so it makes sense . let me grab a chair . holden : you told damian about this place ? lily : just that it was a nice restaurant . holden : thought it meant a little more than that . [ holden groans ] damian : so what do you say ? should we all celebrate ? holden : you know what ? i think i 'm gon na pass . i 'm actually waiting for luke and noah . damian : luke and noah are gon na be here , too ? well , we 'll need a larger table . let me take care of that . excuse me . holden : so how did all this happen ? how did you end up here ? lily : holden , i knew that you were taking the boys to the baseball game , and i figured you 'd go to dinner afterwards . i thought i 'd be home long before you were . holden : why did n't you call to tell me where you were ? lily : i could have called , yes , but i thought if i told you that i was going to new york with damian , you 'd be upset . damian : it 's all taken care of . what do you guys say we have something to drink , huh ? oh , you 're here . great . they seem to have a fantastic wine list . i say we should start with , some romanee - conti . how does that sound ? holden : uh , beer for me . whatever you have on tap .

[ luke laughs ] luke : yeah . how about tomorrow ? noah : no , i 'm -- i 'm serious . i mean , we could finish school here . we could get our own place . we could start our own lives here . luke : that sounds great . noah : but ? luke : but i got to be honest with you . i ca n't picture myself here , at least not permanently . maybe i 'm just too attached to my family . noah : i understand that . i mean , you guys are really close . luke : well , maybe we can move here later -- like way later , like 10 years from now . [ luke chuckles ] noah : so you see yourself with me in 10 years , huh ? is that a proposal , mr. snyder ?

[ henry chuckles ] perri : katie , let me introduce you to your botbaby . katie : oh , my god ! perri : cries , it wets and generally acts like a real baby until you rock it , burp it , or change it . it 's great parent practice . brad : you mean it 's not -- it 's not wet right now , is it ? perri : well , if it is , you 're gon na have to change it . if you do n't take care of botbaby , if you leave it alone , dies . vienna : it could die ? katie ? what ? ! that 's horrible ! brad : oh , no . no baby of ours is gon na give up the ghost , not even babybot . katie : botbaby . brad : botbaby . vienna : oh . well , that botbaby sounds very unhappy .

[ crying stops ] henry : ah , you 're a genius ! katie : i knew you were the right man for the job . perri : one of the biggest controversies in the childcare community is whether or not you ever allow a baby to cry itself to sleep . brad : well , it 's got to man up sometime , right ? katie : do you hear yourself half the time ? you 're only saying that because you can sleep through anything . brad : well , i mean , if you think i 'm gon na wake up every time little brad or bradette cries , i mean , no way . perri : as you can see , problems that were academic before the baby was born are anything but when the time comes ? vienna : like if the mother should take pain medication during labor ? katie : we 'll talk about that later . henry , give me my botbaby . henry ? where is he ? [ scene_break ] damian : hope you like the wine . lily : it 's wonderful . how 's your beer ? holden : fine . lily : did you have a hard time convincing my mother to let you use the jet ? holden : no , no , not at all . you know how lucinda is . she loves luke . she 's all about family . luke : what are my mom and damian doing here ? noah : guess we 'll find out , wo n't we ? luke : mom , i thought you were at work . lily : i was . luke : well , since when is work in new york city ? especially at a restaurant with damian . lily : you can lose the attitude , luke . damian : luke , i needed your mother 's expertise , and she was kind enough to agree . what until we tell you why . it 's gon na make you so happy . luke : yeah , i 'm sure . what do you think about this ? holden : it 's a coincidence . let 's just leave it at that . luke : are you saying you 're okay with this ? noah : um , luke , maybe this is n't any of our business . lily : actually it is , but not in the way you think . the reason damian came to new york and the reason he persuaded me to join him is because of you , and a man named antoine laudel . luke : of the laudel foundation ? noah : are -- are they important ? luke : yeah . they 're like one of the biggest organizations that donates money to hospitals and other -- other groups that help disabled children . lily : exactly , which is why damian went straight to the source . damian : your mother told me you wanted to extend the reach of your foundation , and , uh , laudel is an old friend of mine . i thought a partnership might work . lily : and now you can use the prestige of the laudel foundation and all his resources to expand our range . damian : now you can reach a lot more people . luke : that sounds great ! lily : yeah . i know that you 've been wanting to fill in the gaps left by the other institutions . i mean , so many of them had to have cutbacks because of the economy . noah : wow ! that sounds like damian 's been a really big help ! lily : and you should have heard the way damian described you to mr. laurel . `` a courageous young man with deep personal commitment . `` damian : i spoke the truth . lily : laudel is so excited to work with us , he ca n't wait . i 'm gon na meet with his people tomorrow , and we 're gon na hammer out all the details . luke : well , i am really sorry about my attitude . lily : apology accepted . luke : damian , i really appreciate what you did on my behalf . damian : it was my pleasure . i just hope i can do more to extend the goals of your foundation , that 's all , if you 'll let me . luke : sure ! lily : damian , our flight is leaving soon . we should head for the airport . damian : right .

[ kim laughs ] bob : lisa told me that she was pregnant with tom , i was scared out of my wits . kim : yes , but , i mean , that had more to do with what was going on with lisa . that did n't have anything to do with tom , right ? bob : i guess you 're right . but then again , things all managed to work out . kim : yeah , they certainly did with tom . let 's hope we 're as lucky with chris . it 's never been easy sliding with him . bob : mm , certainly not recently . but he knows we both love him , and that 's all we can do right now . kim : mm . bob : ooh ! what did i do to deserve that ?

[ scene_break ] brad : come on , henry . where are you ? [ brad whistles ] katie : brad , he 's not a dog . brad : yeah , well , he 's not a friend , either , taking off with our botbaby like that . katie : maybe he 's having a nervous breakdown . what if he takes our real baby , too ? oh , my god . this is what that psychic was talking about ! brad : that something horrible is gon na happen to the baby because of henry ? now , come on . katie , please . okay , come on . do n't be ridiculous . dr. shmeglitz said the baby 's gon na be perfectly fine . i 'll take -- i 'll take science over a psychic any day . katie : you 're right , you 're right . i 'm taking stock in the wrong things . brad : you know , when we got the botbaby back , i 'm gon na give henry a very strong reminder that worrying my wife is a very bad idea . look , this is all gon na blow over . katie : brad , look at this ! brad : okay . yo 's is having a comedy night . if you want to go -- katie : look at the face ! it 's dr. shmeglitz . brad : all right . our pediatric geneticist is doing stand - up . i guess cutbacks at memorial are really bad .

[ scene_break ] j.r. : i knew zach slater offered to buy her out and then give all her shares to you . is that what happened ? is that why she 's got enough money , because zach slater made it available so she can go on the run ? kendall : run where ? never mind . you know what ? ask me if i even care about babe , then ask me if i know anything about zach other than he broke my heart , and he lost his son . finally , ask yourself how long it will take you to get out of my house , and then do it , please . j.r. : no , not until you answer the damn question . kendall : no -- but , j.r. , please , just get out . please ? out . j.r. : i wanted to marry babe -- kendall : well , that was your first mistake . j.r. : and then the bitch betrayed me . kendall : oh . well , why did n't you say so ? ahem . you came to the right place . [ scene_break ] zach : i did n't know about him until he was a grown man , and then i denied him . i denied who he was to me . and this is going to sound crazy , but i did it , because i wanted to be a good father to him , and i thought the only way i can do that is by not being a father at all . does it make sense ? dixie : yeah . it makes a lot of sense , actually . zach : i wanted to give him a good shot at life , and i knew that did n't include me or my family . i wanted him to be a better man than i ever was . but i made a lot of mistakes , a lot of them , and by the time i reached out to him and asked his forgiveness and told him that i loved him -- dixie : what did he say ? zach : well , it was too late . dixie : i 'm so sorry . zach : he looked at me , and he told me that he would never forgive me -- his last words . and then he closed his eyes . and now when i close my eyes , that 's all i see -- him , his face , saying those words -- and i ca n't forget . i ca n't forgive myself .

is it yours and ethan 's or is it ethan 's and gwen 's ? theresa : i did what i thought was right . whitney : yeah , but right for who ? right for you or ethan or gwen ? i mean , you do know when gwen finds out you had a d.n.a . test , she 's going to want to know why . and when it comes out that one of the babies you were carrying is really yours and ethan 's , she 's going to completely freak out . and rebecca -- oh , my god . i mean , i hate to think what she 's going to do to you now and to your whole family . so , honey , please , you have got to tell me exactly what happened when you had that procedure . i mean , i ca n't help you unless i know what to expect here . theresa : ok . i 'll tell you . whitney : what did you do , honey ?

and why have you felt such a connection to him ever since ? pilar : well , it 's true that he reminds me of your father . he 's been very open and approachable . he puts me at ease whenever we talk . his strength , mijo , lifted my spirits and gave me hope just like your father did . luis : because he is my father . pilar : no . no , mijo . your father was a fine and noble man . he would n't have just left us , mijo , to wonder what happened to him , left us to fend for ourselves , to end up so poor that i had to send baby paloma to live with my sister in mexico ? no . no , he could n't possibly have lived all those years at my sister 's inn in mexico with paloma knowing she was his daughter , knowing why she was there . you see , my husband , your father , cou not have been that cruel and that selfish . even if alistair forced him to leave harmony , my husband , my martin would have found a way to get word to us , mijo to help us survive . he would n't have just left us . he would n't have . luis : that 's exactly what he did . pilar : no . no . you 're wrong . luis : i wish i was , but this is papa . i have proof , irrefutable proof . to do a lot of thingsbefore we succeed . singer : you are my passion for life eve : i 'm sorry to have to rush off again , but some information that 's confidential about theresa 's procedure has come out , and now i have to go and do damage control . is what you 're going to tell me -- can it wait till i come back ? julian : oh , eve . i 'm afraid the crisis you 've gone to manage wo n't compare to the one waiting for you in your office . t.c . : no , liz , you are not to blame for eve lying to me all those years about pretending to be someone that she wasn't . she lied to me about her past with julian , about the child that they had together . i wonder what would 've happened if you had n't come to harmony . you were the catalyst for all the truth coming out . liz , without you in the picture , eve 's secrets would remain secret . ignorance is bliss . eve and i would still be together . liz : yes , but , t.c . , you know , secrets always have a way of coming out . you know , take chad . my being here had nothing to do with eve and julian wanting to find their child . and believe me , once that truth hit the fan , you would 've found out all about eve 's past as a whore and a drug addict , a nightclub singer whose only hit was your hit - and - run accident that ruined your tennis career . t.c . : liz , i have n't forgotten about that , all right ? but i ca n't forget about this . i mean , these pictures -- these pictures bring back so many great memories . we had a great life together , places that we went . we had a long , lasting love . liz : t.c . , are you saying you are n't going to ask eve for a divorce , that you 've decided to give my lying slut sister a second chance ? whitney : honey , what did you do ? i mean , you know this was gwen 's last chance to have a baby of her own . did you save gwen 's baby with ethan , or your baby with ethan ? theresa : i left it up to fate . whitney : you did what ? theresa : i let fate decide which baby to save . whitney : really ? theresa : i do n't know which baby the doctor saved , whitney . i do n't know if it 's mine and ethan 's or gwen and ethan 's . no one knows . gwen : oh , my god , ethan . it was a boy . our baby was a boy . ethan : it was my son . gwen : it 's our son ? oh , god , it was sarah 's brother ? ethan : all right . i lost my son , but was it my son with gwen or with theresa ? eve : gwen , ethan . i heard what happened . i am so sorry . it 's hospital policy to protect people in your situation from this kind of information . this document should have been in theresa 's medical file , not with her billing information . i trust that you will be more careful in the future . nurse : yes , dr . russell . i 'm so sorry . gwen : it 's ok . we have to grieve for the baby that we lost . ethan : my son . gwen : honey , i know that this hurts . i know that a father losing his son cuts especially deep . it 's like a mother losing a daughter . but we are going to honor him and his memory . you know , thanks to him , our other baby has a chance to survive , and we need to hold on to that and hold on to that hope , ok ? pilar : what proof , mijo ? luis : fingerprints . sam and i hacked into crane industries ' computer network . i had mr . wheeler 's fingerprints from a glass i 'd taken , so i compared those against alistair 's files . and , well , what do you know -- mr . wheeler 's and papa 's were a perfect match . pilar : i do n't believe it . luis : i did n't want to believe it either , but it 's true . pilar : no . this is alistair . this is alistair 's doing , mijo . he wants to create more upset and grf for our family . that man is evil . he will stop at nothing to destroy this family . luis : look , mama , sam and i already considered that , ok ? it 's papa . he admitted it . pilar : what ? luis : he admitted it , mama , ok ? this man here is my father , your husband , martin fitzgerald . t.c . : liz , i do n't know if i should ask eve for a divorce or not . sometimes i just want to go ahead and get it all over with . liz : well , you should . give her the boot , t.c . t.c . : liz , i took a vow -- for better or for worse . i mean , look at these pictures . look at the wonderful life that we had together . liz : you were living a lie , t.c . , eve 's lie of a life . t.c . : liz , i do n't need for you to continue to list eve 's sins , all right ? what we had was good . and the love that eve had for me and the girls was very true and heartfelt . liz : yeah , but even so , t.c . -- t.c . : liz , i want to wait here and talk to eve alone . would you please leave ? liz : sure . no problem . i 'll just be out in the corridor if you need me . julian : what 's the matter , liz ? t.c . having second thoughts about divorcing eve ? liz : shut up , julian . t.c . will divorce that lying tramp . there 's nothing else he can do after everything she 's done . julian : that 's what galls you the most , is n't it -- that even after everything eve has done , t.c . still loves her ? liz : julian , will you shut up ! julian : despite her flaws and her failings , eve is still a million times more the woman than you will ever be . that 's why t.c . will never leave eve for you . no man would choose you over eve . you 're undesirable , my dear . eve : is there anything i can do for both of you , anything that i can get you ? gwen : no , dr . russell . thank you for offering . no . we just need to -- to find the strength to move past this . eve : well , you page me if you need me . ethan : we will . thanks . gwen : thank you . eve : oh , ethan and gwen . as bad as things are for you now , i 'm afraid they could get a lot worse depending on whose baby theresa is carrying -- hers or yours . theresa : ethan wanted me to let fate decide which baby to save . that 's what i did . whitney : so you really did let fate decide this ? theresa : yeah . ethan thinks that he and gwen are going to raise this baby and that it would be easier for me if i did n't know who the mother was . whitney : ok , wait . you said that ethan thinks that he and gwen are going to raise this baby when it 's born ? i know you 're not telling me you 're still planning on keeping this baby , no matter who the mother is . pilar : he 's admitted that he 's martin ? luis : yeah , when he could n't deny it anymore , he admitted it . pilar : luis , mijo , maybe you misunderstood or -- luis : mama , please . sheridan : i was there , too , pilar . i heard him . i heard him admit that he is martin fitzgerald . pilar : no , luis . no , luis , it ca n't -- no es posible , mijo . luis : mama , please . believe it , ok ? it 's true . sheridan : i am so sorry . martin : i am , too . luis : you -- you -- sheridan : hey , it 's ok . pilar : are you really my husband ? huh ? are you martin ? luis : tell her ! sheridan : luis . is : tell her you 're the sainted husband , the same scum who abandoned his family because he was living the good life in mexico with this tramp ! martin : that 's not true , luis . that 's not true at all ! luis : oh , well , what 's not true ?

honey , what did you do ? which baby did you have them save ? theresa : not -- not now , ok ? whitney : you know what ? i 'm sorry , but i 've had enough surprises to last me a lifetime , so tell me what happened . i mean , i need to know so that i can help you , you know , prepare for what 's going to happen next here . theresa : look , i was under anesthesia , so -- whitney : ok , well , they took one of the babies , right ? which one ? was it ethan and gwen 's from the implant or was it your baby with ethan from when you tricked him into sleeping with you ? theresa : no , listen , he -- he knew it was me . i mean , he wo n't admit it , but he -- he knew it was me . he still loves me , whitney . i mean , that 's why i did what i did . whitney : so you did make sure that your baby with ethan was the one who survived . i 'm right , are n't i ? your baby with ethan -- that 's the one who survived . nurse : mr. winthrop ? ethan : yeah ? nurse : i 'm sorry to interrupt . there are some papers you need to sign . accounting needs written authorization to bill ms . lopez - fitzgerald 's procedure directly to you . ethan : right . thank you . nurse : oh , no , that was n't supposed to be in there . ethan : wait , wait . gwen : well , what is that ? nurse : i 'm sorry . it 's best you not know , mrs . winthrop . gwen : know what ? ethan : oh , my god . gwen : honey , what is this ? what are we not supposed to know ? pilar : luis , this man ca n't be martin . eso sencillamente no es posible , mijo . luis : it 's papa . pilar : no . no . no , my -- my martin would not have left us to suffer while he lived a life of leisure in mexico , mijo . he could n't have ! luis : mama , he did . ok ? this is papa , the lying coward you saved yourself for all these years . that 's why he seems so familiar to you . he 's your husband . pilar : no . no , mijo . este hombre no es tu padre . ese no mi esposo . you ca n't be martin . you ca n't be . s createdthe comfortsoft waistband whitney : honey , there 's only one baby now , so which one is it ? is it yours and ethan 's or is it ethan 's and gwen 's ? theresa : i did what i thought was right . whitney : yeah , but right for who ? right for you or ethan or gwen ? i mean , you do know when gwen finds out you had a d.n.a . test , she 's going to want to know why . and when it comes out that one of the babies you were carrying is really yours and ethan 's , she 's going to completely freak out . and rebecca -- oh , my god . i mean , i hate to think what she 's going to do to you now and to your whole family . so , honey , please , you have got to tell me exactly what happened when you had that procedure . i mean , i ca n't help you unless i know what to expect here . theresa : ok . i 'll tell you . whitney : what did you do , honey ? what did you do ? gwen : ethan , what is in theresa 's file that we 're not supposed to see ? ethan : honey , it 's best you not know . gwen : know what ? ethan : nurse , please make sure this does n't happen again , please . nurse : yes , mr . winthrop . ethan : thank you . honey -- gwen : oh , my god . pilar : this man -- this man is not my martin . luis : ok . well , then why did you faint the first time you saw him again in person ? and why have you felt such a connection to him ever since ? pilar : well , it 's true that he reminds me of your father . he 's been very open and approachable . he puts me at ease whenever we talk . his strength , mijo , lifted my spirits and gave me hope just like your father did . luis : because he is my father . pilar : no . no , mijo . your father was a fine and noble man . he would n't have just left us , mijo , to wonder what happened to him , left us to fend for ourselves , to end up so poor that i had to send baby paloma to live with my sister in mexico ? no . no , he could n't possibly have lived all those years at my sister 's inn in mexico with paloma knowing she was his daughter , knowing why she was there . you see , my husband , your father , cou not have been that cruel and that selfish . even if alistair forced him to leave harmony , my husband , my martin would have found a way to get word to us , mijo to help us survive . he would n't have just left us . he would n't have . luis : that 's exactly what he did . pilar : no . no . you 're wrong . luis : i wish i was , but this is papa . i have proof , irrefutable proof . to do a lot of thingsbefore we succeed . singer : you are my passion for life eve : i 'm sorry to have to rush off again , but some information that 's confidential about theresa 's procedure has come out , and now i have to go and do damage control . is what you 're going to tell me -- can it wait till i come back ? julian : oh , eve . i 'm afraid the crisis you 've gone to manage wo n't compare to the one waiting for you in your office . t.c . : no , liz , you are not to blame for eve lying to me all those years about pretending to be someone that she wasn't . she lied to me about her past with julian , about the child that they had together . i wonder what would 've happened if you had n't come to harmony . you were the catalyst for all the truth coming out . liz , without you in the picture , eve 's secrets would remain secret . ignorance is bliss . eve and i would still be together . liz : yes , but , t.c . , you know , secrets always have a way of coming out . you know , take chad . my being here had nothing to do with eve and julian wanting to find their child . and believe me , once that truth hit the fan , you would 've found out all about eve 's past as a whore and a drug addict , a nightclub singer whose only hit was your hit - and - run accident that ruined your tennis career . t.c . : liz , i have n't forgotten about that , all right ? but i ca n't forget about this . i mean , these pictures -- these pictures bring back so many great memories . we had a great life together , places that we went . we had a long , lasting love . liz : t.c . , are you saying you are n't going to ask eve for a divorce , that you 've decided to give my lying slut sister a second chance ? whitney : honey , what did you do ? i mean , you know this was gwen 's last chance to have a baby of her own . did you save gwen 's baby with ethan , or your baby with ethan ? theresa : i left it up to fate . whitney : you did what ? theresa : i let fate decide which baby to save . whitney : really ? theresa : i do n't know which baby the doctor saved , whitney . i do n't know if it 's mine and ethan 's or gwen and ethan 's . no one knows . gwen : oh , my god , ethan . it was a boy . our baby was a boy . ethan : it was my son . gwen : it 's our son ? oh , god , it was sarah 's brother ? ethan : all right . i lost my son , but was it my son with gwen or with theresa ? eve : gwen , ethan . i heard what happened . i am so sorry . it 's hospital policy to protect people in your situation from this kind of information . this document should have been in theresa 's medical file , not with her billing information . i trust that you will be more careful in the future . nurse : yes , dr . russell . i 'm so sorry . gwen : it 's ok . we have to grieve for the baby that we lost . ethan : my son . gwen : honey , i know that this hurts . i know that a father losing his son cuts especially deep . it 's like a mother losing a daughter . but we are going to honor him and his memory . you know , thanks to him , our other baby has a chance to survive , and we need to hold on to that and hold on to that hope , ok ? pilar : what proof , mijo ? luis : fingerprints . sam and i hacked into crane industries ' computer network . i had mr . wheeler 's fingerprints from a glass i 'd taken , so i compared those against alistair 's files . and , well , what do you know -- mr . wheeler 's and papa 's were a perfect match . pilar : i do n't believe it . luis : i did n't want to believe it either , but it 's true . pilar : no . this is alistair . this is alistair 's doing , mijo . he wants to create more upset and grf for our family . that man is evil . he will stop at nothing to destroy this family . luis : look , mama , sam and i already considered that , ok ? it 's papa . he admitted it . pilar : what ? luis : he admitted it , mama , ok ? this man here is my father , your husband , martin fitzgerald . t.c . : liz , i do n't know if i should ask eve for a divorce or not . sometimes i just want to go ahead and get it all over with . liz : well , you should . give her the boot , t.c . t.c . : liz , i took a vow -- for better or for worse . i mean , look at these pictures . look at the wonderful life that we had together . liz : you were living a lie , t.c . , eve 's lie of a life . t.c . : liz , i do n't need for you to continue to list eve 's sins , all right ? what we had was good . and the love that eve had for me and the girls was very true and heartfelt . liz : yeah , but even so , t.c . -- t.c . : liz , i want to wait here and talk to eve alone . would you please leave ? liz : sure . no problem . i 'll just be out in the corridor if you need me . julian : what 's the matter , liz ? t.c . having second thoughts about divorcing eve ? liz : shut up , julian . t.c . will divorce that lying tramp . there 's nothing else he can do after everything she 's done . julian : that 's what galls you the most , is n't it -- that even after everything eve has done , t.c . still loves her ? liz : julian , will you shut up ! julian : despite her flaws and her failings , eve is still a million times more the woman than you will ever be . that 's why t.c . will never leave eve for you . no man would choose you over eve . you 're undesirable , my dear . eve : is there anything i can do for both of you , anything that i can get you ? gwen : no , dr . russell . thank you for offering . no . we just need to -- to find the strength to move past this . eve : well , you page me if you need me . ethan : we will . thanks . gwen : thank you . eve : oh , ethan and gwen . as bad as things are for you now , i 'm afraid they could get a lot worse depending on whose baby theresa is carrying -- hers or yours . theresa : ethan wanted me to let fate decide which baby to save . that 's what i did . whitney : so you really did let fate decide this ? theresa : yeah . ethan thinks that he and gwen are going to raise this baby and that it would be easier for me if i did n't know who the mother was . whitney : ok , wait . you said that ethan thinks that he and gwen are going to raise this baby when it 's born ? i know you 're not telling me you 're still planning on keeping this baby , no matter who the mother is . pilar : he 's admitted that he 's martin ? luis : yeah , when he could n't deny it anymore , he admitted it . pilar : luis , mijo , maybe you misunderstood or -- luis : mama , please . sheridan : i was there , too , pilar . i heard him . i heard him admit that he is martin fitzgerald . pilar : no , luis . no , luis , it ca n't -- no es posible , mijo . luis : mama , please . believe it , ok ? it 's true . sheridan : i am so sorry . martin : i am , too . luis : you -- you -- sheridan : hey , it 's ok . pilar : are you really my husband ? huh ? are you martin ? luis : tell her ! sheridan : luis . is : tell her you 're the sainted husband , the same scum who abandoned his family because he was living the good life in mexico with this tramp ! martin : that 's not true , luis . that 's not true at all ! luis : oh , well , what 's not true ? are you going to deny you ran out on us or that you were shacking up with her ? martin : do n't say that . luis : why do n't you just tell the truth for once . just admit it . you 're my father and you 're her husband . every bad thing that ever happened to us happened because of you . damn you .

[ tender music ] for the first time ever , i am being completely honest about what 's in my heart . i love you , eric . i 've always loved you . stefan : i did n't kill ted . he was dead when i got there . hope : what was the last thing you said to me ? earlier . that you were gon na get ted to talk to you if it was the last thing he did . stefan : oh , that 's a figure of speech . and what was it you said to me ? that you suspected he and kate were n't being truthful about the kidnapping . seemed to make you pretty upset . hope : not that upset . stefan : uh - huh . hope : oh , no , no , no , no . you 're suggesting that i killed ted ? do n't you dare . eli : all right , that 's enough . hope , i need to talk to you outside .

[ stirring music ] i love you , eric . i love the way that your smile starts in your eyes and it makes everything feel better . and i love the way that you look at me . it makes me feel like there 's no one else in the room . and i know that you are always thinking about what 's best for everyone else and always putting your needs last , and i -- and i love that about you too . but please , i am begging you . no more sacrificing your happiness . please , just for once , stop thinking about your brother 's feelings and just think about your own . because if you think that -- that we could be happy together , then -- then you need to reach out and you need to grab that happiness and never look back . [ tender music ] kate : you married nicole so she could be ceo of dimera ? tony : well , it 's a marriage in name only . kate : yes , but , i mean , how did you even ... tony : well , i rescued her from that warehouse fire . and we just bonded , and then of course she asked me for help , and ... i did n't have much choice , really . kate : hmm . nicole did n't have a choice either . tony : i 'm sorry ? what was that ?

[ tense music ] jennifer : i 'm just gon na tell you . i got the information from eve . kayla : well , that explains a lot . she 's the one that told you , and you 're still keeping it from eric ? jennifer : yeah . kayla : why ? jennifer : eve said ... when nicole told eric she did n't love him ... it was n't true . and brady forced her to say it , and brady forced nicole to leave town . kayla : because she was gon na leave him for eric ? jennifer : right . kayla : how does eve know that ? jennifer : i 'm assuming brady told her . kayla : [ stammers ] i do n't understand how brady could force nicole to leave town . i mean , she never struck me as a pushover , especially ... where men are concerned . jennifer : brady has something on her ... and it is so damaging . kayla : how do you know that she 's not lying ? jennifer : you 're right about nicole . you know , when she wants a man , she goes after him , and -- and -- and it 's like an obsession . you remember how obsessed she was with daniel . kayla : right . jennifer : right , so she 's not gon na just ... fall out of love with someone overnight . that 's not who she is . so she had to leave town . that was -- that was the choice that brady gave her . she didn't ... not love eric . and wherever she is ... she probably still loves him . chloe : well , you deserve this . cheers . [ both chuckle ] i know how hurt you were when nicole left town . eric : yeah . guess i 'll never really understand . chloe : yeah , me neither . [ sighs ] and i always considered her a close friend . and when she was into a guy , that was it . ah , i 'm sorry . you probably do n't want to talk about this . eric : no , it 's okay , 'cause i 'm in ... i 'm in such a different place now . chloe : good . it 's just , the way that she left you ... i always thought that there was more to that story . eric : yeah , so did i . chloe : okay , i 'm sorry . i should 've just kept my big mouth shut . eric : no . really , why ? chloe : well , you came in here so happy , and then i start talking , and now this . you 're not ... totally over nicole , are you ? polident is specifically designed to clean a denture . victor : everything that i did was out of love for you . brady : do n't you say that to me ... not after the things that you said to me after i left titan ! remember that ? victor : i was angry . does n't mean i 'm going to sit idly by while she tries to take your son away from you . so yes , i took matters into my own hands . brady : yeah , you did . you did , and it blew up in my face . victor : i 'm truly sorry . but ... i wo n't apologize for trying to keep tate with you . sometimes , big mistakes can be made in the name of love . brady : you are something . the only reason you did this was because you did n't think that i could handle the situation myself . victor : i did n't want you stopping me . brady : because you always think that you know what 's better to do . victor : i wanted to keep you out of it . brady : i do n't want to be out of it ! it 's my son ! you should 've stayed out of it . eve : brady -- brady : it was none of your business . eve : brady , i think victor was really trying to help you . brady : hold on . i 'm sorry , what are you doing ? after everything he 's said about you and the names he 's called you , you -- are you sticking up for him ? eve : i ... kayla : why would eve tell you something like this ? is she trying to break you and eric up ? jennifer : no , i really believe she has a vested interest in keeping this quiet . kayla : because of brady . jennifer : right . kayla : i just ... [ stammers ] i mean , how could brady do something like that to nicole ? i mean , it does n't compute to me . i mean , i know ... how hurt he was . but to force her to tell eric that she does n't love him anymore ... i mean , to hurt his brother like that ... and then to blackmail nicole to leave town with nothing ? it 's beyond cruel . jennifer : i know , and eric and brady are just starting to get past that awful time . kayla : yeah . marlena told me that both of them are walking her down the aisle . but that 's not the only reason that you 're not telling eric , is it ? are you afraid that if he finds out that nicole never stopped loving him , that he -- jennifer : that he 'll leave me . yeah . i 'm really afraid of that . eric : yeah , well , i 'd be lying if i did n't admit that i have a special place in my heart for nicole . i mean , she was my first love . chloe : and you never forget that person . eric : yeah , but with jennifer ... it 's real . i mean , nicole , she could walk through that front door right now and i 'd be happy to see her , but i 'd still be committed to jennifer ... body and soul . adrienne : i went to steve because i found out the fbi 's no longer trying to track bonnie down . lucas : hopefully she 's far , far , far away , right ? adrienne : well , i do n't care if she is . i keep having bad dreams about doing her time in statesville while she took over my life . lucas : yeah , i keep having bad dreams too . steve : i 'll bet you do . lucas : well , as long as she 's out there , she 's still a threat to you , right ? adrienne : yes , and everyone i love . where is she ? [ mysterious music ] sonny : you 're bluffing . you do n't have one shred of evidence that will and i did anything wrong . ted : you want me to lay out the case against the two of you for first - degree murder in the middle of the square ? or maybe we should find a more private place . do n't you think ? [ sinister music ] steve : okay , these are some stills from a security camera in el paso , texas . adrienne : and that 's supposed to mean something to me ? lucas : they 're just random shots of the desert . adrienne : yeah . steve : that 's what they are . but bonnie got some rich real estate investors to pay a fortune for them . adrienne : how ? steve : by telling them that they 're on the mexican border ... and that the government would pay big bucks for these land parcels when they put up that wall . lucas : and they bought that ? how 'd these guys get rich ? steve : yeah , that 's a good question because the land is as worthless as it looks . adrienne : so the guys nailed her ? she 's in jail ? steve : no . she got away clean ... with enough money to stay lost for a long time . adrienne : [ exhales sharply ] sonny : just because we followed you here , it does n't mean that we care what you have to say . ted : just shut up and listen . i was expecting a big cut of every dime leo got from you . so i wanted to know where he was at all times . i had an investigator follow him the night he died . sonny : leo 's dead ? ted : nice try . my guy saw him drive up to your grandfather 's mansion that night ... so he waited for him outside . but then he saw the two of you driving off in leo 's car , but no signs of leo . so he tailed you , and then he told me where i could find the car , and that 's where i went . and when i opened that trunk , i found leo ... wrapped up in that rug with a head injury that looked like a result of blunt force trauma . sonny : you ca n't pin that on us . ted : really ? i 'm pretty sure i can convince a jury that you two murdered leo starke and then conspired to hide his body . you get it now , do n't you ? there 's no real defense for what you have done ... and i 'm not going to let you get away with it . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : keeping eric from finding out that nicole might still love him -- it just feels really selfish . kayla : do you know what brady has on nicole ? but you 're not gon na tell me what it is . jennifer : i ca n't tell you . kayla : it must be really serious . jennifer : she could lose holly . she could lose everything . kayla : sounds like you 're being protective of nicole and her little girl . jennifer : selfishly . i think i 'm trying to protect what i have with eric . kayla , you know jack was the love of my life ... but what i have with eric is so ... warm and comforting , and ... i mean , i still do get weak in the knees when he kisses me . [ chuckles ] kayla : good . that 's good . jennifer : yeah , i think i ... i think i 'm just trying to convince myself that if he knew ... nicole still had feelings for him ... he still would 've fallen in love with me . he ... still would 've asked me to marry him . kayla : did eve tell you all this before he proposed ? jennifer : yeah . kayla : [ scoffs ] how 's that working for you ? jennifer : if it was going well , why would i feel so guilty about saying yes ? eric : i have an addictive personality . i have to admit , i must 've been drawn to all the drama that goes with nicole . chloe : well , she certainly has a way of stirring things up . eric : [ laughs ] with jennifer , i , um ... i 'm finally at peace . chloe : and that feels right ? eric : i 'm not saying there 's no fireworks , but with jennifer , we 're ... we 're together . we 're sharing our lives . you know what ? i 'm not concerned that i 'm gon na get burned . with jennifer , i know ... that i can trust her with my heart . eve : i 'm just saying that ... well , victor 's heart was in the right place . brady : [ stammers ] he has treated you like crap , and you 're taking his side right now . what are you doing ? eve : well , he admitted to planting the drugs , and he told you why , right ? and you know what ? i believe him . nobody in this room wanted theresa to get sole custody of your little -- brady : that 's right , but guess what ? guess what , everyone ? she did . she won ... 'cause of you . i had it handled . we were going to share custody . everything was going to be fine . and now my boy is 2,000 miles away from me ... every day and every night . i do n't even know if theresa 's taking care of him . i do n't know how he 's doing . all i know is that he 's away from me . he 's gone . it 's your fault . eve : brady -- brady : it 's his fault . listen , there 's no way to make this right . i just -- i -- i -- i ca n't forgive him . ca n't look him in the face . eve : hey . this is all my fault . eve : brady , in court ... i thought that you were gon na lose your son , so ... brady : stop -- no , no , stop . i do not want -- i do n't want you blaming yourself . do n't do that . i know you think that theresa filed the suit because i chose you and not her . it does n't matter . i would do it all over again . i choose you . you 're the one standing by me now . and ... you 're the only real good thing in my life right now , so this is not your fault . you . granddad . i do n't want you to come around me . i do n't want you to come around anybody that i happen to love , all right ? you are dead to me . eve : brady -- brady : what are you -- what are you doing ? what ? eve : i left my purse in there , okay ? and i parked out back . brady : well , i 'm not -- i 'm not going back in to that room . eve : listen , this is not gon na be forever . i 'm gon na call daddy , and he will get through to theresa . he 'll make her see that joint custody is the best thing for tate . [ both talking at once ] brady : excuse me . i do n't share your optimism . i love you . i 'll see you back at the inn . [ tense music ] victor : why did n't you go with brady ? eve : why 'd you cover for me ? jennifer : am i a terrible person for not going straight to eric with all of this ? kayla : i ca n't imagine you ever being a terrible person . jennifer : you did n't answer my question . kayla : well , if you 're bad , then ... then i 'm bad too . jennifer : what does that mean ? kayla : it means that i 've kept secrets too . are you ready for some fantastic news ? steve : sure . kayla : [ chuckles ] well , i 've been keeping tabs on visionary bionics , and i just read this press release that announces stefan dimera is selling it to another company . steve : i thought he was selling it to the government . kayla : well , i guess this other company just offered him more money . anyway , it turns out ... that i have a contact there . you know , pretty high up the food chain , so ... i 'm pretty sure i could get you on the short list for that bionic eye prototype . steve : [ exhales ] so wait , is this ... are you kidding me ? kayla : no . steve : are you telling me that stefan is n't connected to it in any way anymore ? kayla : completely out of the picture . steve : [ stammers , chuckles ] i do n't know what to say . kayla : you have been so brave through all of this . and i know it has n't been easy . steve : [ exhales shakily ] i suppose i ca n't get my hopes up . i ... is it really happening ? kayla : yes , my love . you now have a chance to get your sight back .

[ crying ] sweetie . oh , god . in fact , i 'm ... keeping a huge secret from steve right now . and it 's killing me . eric : you know , if i bored you with my homily on love , i 'm sorry . chloe : [ chuckles ] you could never bore me . eric : so how 's things going with you and lucas ? chloe : um ... we care ... for each other , and ... we have a great time together , and ... he and parker , they 're beautiful together , and my mom is crazy about him . eric : i 'm sensing a `` but . `` chloe : but i 'm ... still not sure where it 's going . adrienne : [ sighs ] lucas : does that mean you 're gon na give up on trying to find bonnie ? steve : no . i 'm not giving up . listen , right now , she 's hiding from those rich texans , but she 's gon na get bored with that . she 'll get itchy to spend that money she fleeced them out of , and she 'll start living large . and then either the texans will get her or we will . adrienne : promise ? steve : promise . okay ? i got some things to do . i got ta go . adrienne : thank you for everything , steve . steve : you 're welcome . lucas : it 's nice to see you . nice to see you back up and running . steve : good to see you , buddy . adrienne : [ sighs ] lucas : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to -- to butt in like this . i just -- i want bonnie caught as much as you do . adrienne : of course . and i can see why ... after what she did to you . i know that 's why you went off the wagon . lucas : well , in aa , they teach you to recognize when you hit rock bottom . rock bottom for me was waking up hungover in bed with a dead body . will : [ clears throat ] so ... you claim to have found leo 's body in a trunk . why did n't you call the police ? sonny : yeah , where 's his body ? ted : guys ... i would not be talking like this if i did n't have enough evidence to make my case . sonny : [ sighs ] so what is it that you want ? ted : as leo 's attorney , i was entitled to a third of whatever settlement he was awarded at the trial . if i turn you in to the police , i get nothing . well , except satisfaction to know that you 're doing hard time at statesville . sonny : how much ? ted : i have n't decided on the number yet . seven figures , high seven figures -- maybe eight . sonny : you really are the scum of the earth . ted : and you 're a murderer . no matter how we play this , boys ... you guys are gon na pay . tech : at safelite autoglass , will : you do n't know what you 're talking about , ted . sonny : will , will -- will : no , i 'm serious . leo tried to kill me . he was strangling me . sonny pulled him off , and he fell and he hit his head . ted : so why did n't you try to pick up the phone and get him some help , hmm ? sonny : because we thought it was too late . ted : `` too late . `` let me get this straight . you invite leo over . you wait for him to turn his back and then smash his skull in , then roll him up in a rug like a burrito and try to figure out how to get rid of his body . you guys conspired to hide a brutal crime you 'd just committed . it 's over .

[ gentle music ] adrienne : [ exhales ] chloe : i just feel like ... lucas is holding back . eric : maybe he 's just protecting himself after what happened with adrienne . chloe : or maybe he 's not over that whole thing with me getting kidnapped . eric : hey , that 's not your fault . chloe : well , i know , but that crazy guy who grabbed me made me write him a letter telling him i did n't love him . and it was a total lie , but i feel like after everything that 's happened , that 's the one thing that stayed with him . eric : then how did he not give up on you ? i mean , he hired john and paul to come find you . maybe he knew that that letter was a lie . chloe : the thing is ... when i was in mexico , all i could think about was getting back to lucas and parker . and i 'm starting to think that maybe he 's always been the one for me . and i know that he cares about me , but ... i do n't know that he feels the same way . eric : you know what ? do n't doubt your thoughts . i 'm pretty sure he cares about you as much as you care about him . [ soft music ] kayla : i was so desperate to help steve get his sight back that i did some things that i 'm ... i 'm not proud of . jennifer : you did n't press me for details . i 'm gon na return the favor . kayla : what i will tell you ... is if steve ever found out what i did ... i 'm afraid of what would happen . he just ...

[ groans ] but my big problem is jennifer horton ! victor : she 's still threatening to tell brady your part in planting the drugs ? eve : yes , and the only way i 've been able to keep her quiet is to threaten to tell eric that nicole still loves him . [ sighing ] oh , but if she has n't accepted eric 's marriage proposal , that means she 's gon na tell eric the truth . and once she does that ... she 's gon na go to brady next . victor : and since that 's very likely to happen , i suggest that you start by working on me and him . otherwise , you and brady are gon na be history . eve : [ sighs ] ted : the funny part is , i actually believe your version of what happened to leo , and i would advise you not to try selling it to a judge or a jury . will : well , it 's the truth . ted : the truth does not matter . the truth is whatever people want to believe . leo filed a suit against sonny . it hurts titan industries , and then sonny lost his big , important job . we have a latin phrase : `` cui bono ? `` `` who benefits ? `` and leo 's death only benefitted one person . you may have shut leo up permanently , but the condition of his body will speak volumes ... especially with me as the star da witness . i think the lady likes me . sonny : she would . ted : yeah . you should 've made a better offer to leo when he was still alive . now that he 's dead ... i 'm going to take you both in to the cleaners . will : you are the scum ... sonny : wait , will . you and i will work this out , but i have one condition . will stops being part of this right now . [ intense music ] for mild - to - moderate eczema , eucrisa will : sonny , come on . do n't do this . sonny : that 's my condition . ted : that is so sweet . but ... it 's in my advantage to keep you both on the hook . and i do n't want him to make trouble at that newspaper he works for . so you can take that same deal and try to make it with the cops , but ... that does n't work out for me . will : mm . if this is just about money , why the games ? why the cryptic notes with the little cut - out letters ? why ? what was that about ? ted : well , it 's always a good tactic to keep you off - balance . plus , it was kind entertaining to watch you boys squirm . sonny : look , as you pointed out , i lost my position at titan . okay ? i do n't have access to the kind of money you 're talking about . ted : yeah , but you 're a smart guy . i 'm sure you can figure it out . or maybe you want to spend the rest of your life in prison . i 'm not really sure . hey , in a way , the three of us are on the same side . none of us wants the truth about leo 's death to come out . so i 'm looking forward to work with you guys . i 'll be in touch .

[ both chuckle ] i know how hurt you were when nicole left town . eric : yeah . guess i 'll never really understand . chloe : yeah , me neither . [ sighs ] and i always considered her a close friend . and when she was into a guy , that was it . ah , i 'm sorry . you probably do n't want to talk about this . eric : no , it 's okay , 'cause i 'm in ... i 'm in such a different place now . chloe : good . it 's just , the way that she left you ... i always thought that there was more to that story . eric : yeah , so did i . chloe : okay , i 'm sorry . i should 've just kept my big mouth shut . eric : no . really , why ? chloe : well , you came in here so happy , and then i start talking , and now this . you 're not ... totally over nicole , are you ? polident is specifically designed to clean a denture . victor : everything that i did was out of love for you . brady : do n't you say that to me ... not after the things that you said to me after i left titan ! remember that ? victor : i was angry . does n't mean i 'm going to sit idly by while she tries to take your son away from you . so yes , i took matters into my own hands . brady : yeah , you did . you did , and it blew up in my face . victor : i 'm truly sorry . but ... i wo n't apologize for trying to keep tate with you . sometimes , big mistakes can be made in the name of love . brady : you are something . the only reason you did this was because you did n't think that i could handle the situation myself . victor : i did n't want you stopping me . brady : because you always think that you know what 's better to do . victor : i wanted to keep you out of it . brady : i do n't want to be out of it ! it 's my son ! you should 've stayed out of it . eve : brady -- brady : it was none of your business . eve : brady , i think victor was really trying to help you . brady : hold on . i 'm sorry , what are you doing ? after everything he 's said about you and the names he 's called you , you -- are you sticking up for him ? eve : i ... kayla : why would eve tell you something like this ? is she trying to break you and eric up ? jennifer : no , i really believe she has a vested interest in keeping this quiet . kayla : because of brady . jennifer : right . kayla : i just ... [ stammers ] i mean , how could brady do something like that to nicole ? i mean , it does n't compute to me . i mean , i know ... how hurt he was . but to force her to tell eric that she does n't love him anymore ... i mean , to hurt his brother like that ... and then to blackmail nicole to leave town with nothing ? it 's beyond cruel . jennifer : i know , and eric and brady are just starting to get past that awful time . kayla : yeah . marlena told me that both of them are walking her down the aisle . but that 's not the only reason that you 're not telling eric , is it ? are you afraid that if he finds out that nicole never stopped loving him , that he -- jennifer : that he 'll leave me . yeah . i 'm really afraid of that . eric : yeah , well , i 'd be lying if i did n't admit that i have a special place in my heart for nicole . i mean , she was my first love . chloe : and you never forget that person . eric : yeah , but with jennifer ... it 's real . i mean , nicole , she could walk through that front door right now and i 'd be happy to see her , but i 'd still be committed to jennifer ... body and soul . adrienne : i went to steve because i found out the fbi 's no longer trying to track bonnie down . lucas : hopefully she 's far , far , far away , right ? adrienne : well , i do n't care if she is . i keep having bad dreams about doing her time in statesville while she took over my life . lucas : yeah , i keep having bad dreams too . steve : i 'll bet you do . lucas : well , as long as she 's out there , she 's still a threat to you , right ? adrienne : yes , and everyone i love . where is she ? [ mysterious music ] sonny : you 're bluffing . you do n't have one shred of evidence that will and i did anything wrong . ted : you want me to lay out the case against the two of you for first - degree murder in the middle of the square ? or maybe we should find a more private place . do n't you think ? [ sinister music ] steve : okay , these are some stills from a security camera in el paso , texas . adrienne : and that 's supposed to mean something to me ? lucas : they 're just random shots of the desert . adrienne : yeah . steve : that 's what they are . but bonnie got some rich real estate investors to pay a fortune for them . adrienne : how ? steve : by telling them that they 're on the mexican border ... and that the government would pay big bucks for these land parcels when they put up that wall . lucas : and they bought that ? how 'd these guys get rich ? steve : yeah , that 's a good question because the land is as worthless as it looks . adrienne : so the guys nailed her ? she 's in jail ? steve : no . she got away clean ... with enough money to stay lost for a long time . adrienne : [ exhales sharply ] sonny : just because we followed you here , it does n't mean that we care what you have to say . ted : just shut up and listen . i was expecting a big cut of every dime leo got from you . so i wanted to know where he was at all times . i had an investigator follow him the night he died . sonny : leo 's dead ? ted : nice try . my guy saw him drive up to your grandfather 's mansion that night ... so he waited for him outside . but then he saw the two of you driving off in leo 's car , but no signs of leo . so he tailed you , and then he told me where i could find the car , and that 's where i went . and when i opened that trunk , i found leo ... wrapped up in that rug with a head injury that looked like a result of blunt force trauma . sonny : you ca n't pin that on us . ted : really ? i 'm pretty sure i can convince a jury that you two murdered leo starke and then conspired to hide his body . you get it now , do n't you ? there 's no real defense for what you have done ... and i 'm not going to let you get away with it . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : keeping eric from finding out that nicole might still love him -- it just feels really selfish . kayla : do you know what brady has on nicole ? but you 're not gon na tell me what it is . jennifer : i ca n't tell you . kayla : it must be really serious . jennifer : she could lose holly . she could lose everything . kayla : sounds like you 're being protective of nicole and her little girl . jennifer : selfishly . i think i 'm trying to protect what i have with eric . kayla , you know jack was the love of my life ... but what i have with eric is so ... warm and comforting , and ... i mean , i still do get weak in the knees when he kisses me . [ chuckles ] kayla : good . that 's good . jennifer : yeah , i think i ... i think i 'm just trying to convince myself that if he knew ... nicole still had feelings for him ... he still would 've fallen in love with me . he ... still would 've asked me to marry him . kayla : did eve tell you all this before he proposed ? jennifer : yeah . kayla : [ scoffs ] how 's that working for you ? jennifer : if it was going well , why would i feel so guilty about saying yes ? eric : i have an addictive personality . i have to admit , i must 've been drawn to all the drama that goes with nicole . chloe : well , she certainly has a way of stirring things up . eric : [ laughs ] with jennifer , i , um ... i 'm finally at peace . chloe : and that feels right ? eric : i 'm not saying there 's no fireworks , but with jennifer , we 're ... we 're together . we 're sharing our lives . you know what ? i 'm not concerned that i 'm gon na get burned . with jennifer , i know ... that i can trust her with my heart . eve : i 'm just saying that ... well , victor 's heart was in the right place . brady : [ stammers ] he has treated you like crap , and you 're taking his side right now . what are you doing ? eve : well , he admitted to planting the drugs , and he told you why , right ? and you know what ? i believe him . nobody in this room wanted theresa to get sole custody of your little -- brady : that 's right , but guess what ? guess what , everyone ? she did . she won ... 'cause of you . i had it handled . we were going to share custody . everything was going to be fine . and now my boy is 2,000 miles away from me ... every day and every night . i do n't even know if theresa 's taking care of him . i do n't know how he 's doing . all i know is that he 's away from me . he 's gone . it 's your fault . eve : brady -- brady : it 's his fault . listen , there 's no way to make this right . i just -- i -- i -- i ca n't forgive him . ca n't look him in the face . eve : hey . this is all my fault . eve : brady , in court ... i thought that you were gon na lose your son , so ... brady : stop -- no , no , stop . i do not want -- i do n't want you blaming yourself . do n't do that . i know you think that theresa filed the suit because i chose you and not her . it does n't matter . i would do it all over again . i choose you . you 're the one standing by me now . and ... you 're the only real good thing in my life right now , so this is not your fault . you . granddad . i do n't want you to come around me . i do n't want you to come around anybody that i happen to love , all right ? you are dead to me . eve : brady -- brady : what are you -- what are you doing ? what ? eve : i left my purse in there , okay ? and i parked out back . brady : well , i 'm not -- i 'm not going back in to that room . eve : listen , this is not gon na be forever . i 'm gon na call daddy , and he will get through to theresa . he 'll make her see that joint custody is the best thing for tate . [ both talking at once ] brady : excuse me . i do n't share your optimism . i love you . i 'll see you back at the inn . [ tense music ] victor : why did n't you go with brady ? eve : why 'd you cover for me ? jennifer : am i a terrible person for not going straight to eric with all of this ? kayla : i ca n't imagine you ever being a terrible person . jennifer : you did n't answer my question . kayla : well , if you 're bad , then ... then i 'm bad too . jennifer : what does that mean ? kayla : it means that i 've kept secrets too . are you ready for some fantastic news ? steve : sure . kayla : [ chuckles ] well , i 've been keeping tabs on visionary bionics , and i just read this press release that announces stefan dimera is selling it to another company . steve : i thought he was selling it to the government . kayla : well , i guess this other company just offered him more money . anyway , it turns out ... that i have a contact there . you know , pretty high up the food chain , so ... i 'm pretty sure i could get you on the short list for that bionic eye prototype . steve : [ exhales ] so wait , is this ... are you kidding me ? kayla : no . steve : are you telling me that stefan is n't connected to it in any way anymore ? kayla : completely out of the picture . steve : [ stammers , chuckles ] i do n't know what to say . kayla : you have been so brave through all of this . and i know it has n't been easy . steve : [ exhales shakily ] i suppose i ca n't get my hopes up . i ... is it really happening ? kayla : yes , my love . you now have a chance to get your sight back .

[ tense music ] victor : do n't harbor any illusions that i covered up for you because i have some newfound warm and fuzzy feelings for you . the way i see it ... i have nothing to gain by brady hating both of us . eve : do n't give me that . you want something in return . what is it ? victor : get brady to forgive me for what we did . eve : [ sighs ] victor , you heard me . i tried to get him to -- victor : try harder . if you do n't manage this , i 'll be forced to go to brady and tell him that you 're just as much responsible for his losing his son as i am . get it ? eve : got it . victor : good . so if you want to keep brady in the dark and in your bed ... make it right . lucas : i still do n't understand how anjelica deveraux ended up dead in my bed . adrienne : man . talk about your basic nightmare , right ? lucas : i get nightmares all the time because of that , yeah . adrienne : i 'm sure you do . listen , lucas , i am sorry for what happened to you . and i 'm also sorry for the way i treated you after i got back . i mean , it was n't right . you 've been so wonderful to me . lucas : it 's okay . you know , i 'm ... i 'm with chloe now , so ... adrienne : well , she better be good to you . lucas : she is . she is . and i know you belong with justin , so ... i know you always will . [ gentle music ] adrienne : [ exhales ] chloe : i just feel like ... lucas is holding back . eric : maybe he 's just protecting himself after what happened with adrienne . chloe : or maybe he 's not over that whole thing with me getting kidnapped . eric : hey , that 's not your fault . chloe : well , i know , but that crazy guy who grabbed me made me write him a letter telling him i did n't love him . and it was a total lie , but i feel like after everything that 's happened , that 's the one thing that stayed with him . eric : then how did he not give up on you ? i mean , he hired john and paul to come find you . maybe he knew that that letter was a lie . chloe : the thing is ... when i was in mexico , all i could think about was getting back to lucas and parker . and i 'm starting to think that maybe he 's always been the one for me . and i know that he cares about me , but ... i do n't know that he feels the same way . eric : you know what ? do n't doubt your thoughts . i 'm pretty sure he cares about you as much as you care about him .

( sighs ) ( chuckles ) ridge : you know , you really need to take it easy here for a couple weeks . why do n't you work from home for a while ? eric : actually , i think it ... ( sighs ) it 'll be a little more relaxing around here . ridge : why ? eric : i 've got a full house . donna moved back . ridge : what ? so mother 's relegated back to the beach house ? eric : no , no . your mother is still there , too . that 's what i mean . i got a full house , you know ? ridge : the three of you are living there together ? eric : look , i 'm concentrating on other things , ridge -- on rick and on the business and on my health . and i have these two wonderful women , both of whom want to spend the rest of their lives with me , and they 're both willing to sit there and -- and , uh , stand by me and wait until a decision is made . so there you go . ridge : come on . this is ridiculous . what are you doing ? eric : no , you know what ? you need to accept the fact that donna is still my wife . ridge : dad , donna is playing you . god , i thought we were rid of her . eric : look , this is -- i can make my own decisions , and this is my decision to make . and if i end up choosing donna , you 're gon na have to suck it up and accept it . [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm sorry you do n't think ridge is healthy for me . but i love him . rick : ( sighs ) brooke : i 've loved him for as long as i can remember . rick : this is not love , mom . it 's an obsession . brooke : oh , honey , i do n't expect you to understand . rick : but i do understand , mom . that 's the thing . i know ridge . i know how he operates . it 's -- it 's brilliant , actually , when you think about it . he makes you fall in love with him , and then he keeps you dangling by his side while he pursues somebody else . now look , taylor has got the table scraps right now , but do n't worry . it 'll be your turn in a few months . brooke : that 's probably what it looked like when you were growing up , but that 's not really what was going on . rick : that 's exactly what was going on . he swooped in , took you away from dad , basically destroyed our family -- brooke : honey , your father and i were n't exactly some great love affair . ridge did n't swoop in and break up some epic romance . we were together at a small window of time because we needed each other . i was a distraction from stephanie , and he was a distraction from ridge . rick : what the -- how could you say that ? brooke : because i - i really think you need to hear that . rick : you loved dad . brooke : of course i loved dad . i love him because he 's the father of my children and the father of ridge . ridge : fine . you know what ? do it the hard way , all right ? but i 'm not a kid anymore , and i sure as hell do n't have the strength to pick you up out of your despair when he chooses taylor for the millionth time . brooke : oh , that is not going to happen . rick : well , of course it is . ca n't you see this ? he had to swoop in and take taylor away from me 'cause he could n't stand the fact that taylor could possibly be happy with someone besides him . so he 's got you and taylor going at it for a few months . he 's gon na choose taylor , and then , you know , you 'll have your shot again in a few years . brooke : rick , stop it ! rick : no . you know , i 'm sick and tired of people letting ridge get away with everything . people think he 's oh - so - charming , and they grovel when -- when women just fall in love with him . they think he 's oh - so - romantic . and people put up with it . they do n't stand up to him . not dad . not thorne . but i 'm sick of it . i 'm sick and tired . i will stand up to him . i will be the one that will finally put a stop to ridge forrester . [ scene_break ] stephanie : do you always wear something like that under your regular clothes ? donna : as a matter of fact , i do . stephanie : oh , well , i guess it comes in handy if you have to seduce someone . donna : where 's eric ? stephanie : he went to work . i knew you were gon na pull something . my god , i did n't even count to ten . donna : you are insane . stephanie : and you are a liar , standing there with all your clothes off , playing out some kind of fairy - tale fantasy . i 'm not gon na let you get away with any of this nonsense . donna : oh , bring it on , stephanie , because i 'm ready . and i do n't care if we 're in the -- the same house , the same room or the same bed . i will never lose eric to you . stephanie : ha ! donna : ha ! stephanie : double ha ! donna : ha ! [ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm telling you , dad , if you end up recommitting to donna , it 's gon na be a huge mistake . eric : look , do n't pressure me , ridge . both your mother and donna respect me enough to give me the time to make this decision . i expect the same from you . ridge : fine . i just do n't know how you can deal with all this stuff -- coming to work and recovering from your heart attack . i mean , it really worries me . eric : well , i can . i 'm doing it . i 'm doing it . ridge : why would you have to ? eric : it 's my job , ridge . it 's my job . ridge : dad , do you remember the night you had your heart attack ? you and i had a , uh , discussion about me stepping into the position that i 've worked towards my whole life . eric : look , a lot has , uh -- a lot has changed since then . ridge : dad , do n't you want to relax , enjoy yourself , take care of your health , spend your life with mother , or whoever ? ( sighs ) dad , for years and years , you and i have worked side by side , father and son . we 're a team . i 'm telling you , it 's time now . and i have earned it . put me in control of forrester creations . [ scene_break ] brooke : okay , i see what 's going on here . this is n't about me at all . this is about taylor . you 're upset with her because she left you to go after ridge . you have to understand something . this was all taylor 's doing . ridge did not encourage this . rick : yes , he did . it 's just that you refuse to see that . brooke : you know what ? maybe i 'm the wrong person you should be talking to about this . would you like to see a professional ? rick : are you kidding me with that ? a profession -- you mean a shrink . mom , i do n't need a shrink . i need ridge out of our lives . brooke : okay . at least talk to your father . have a man - to - man conversation . rick : no . no , it 's not gon na do any good , because dad has always been more loyal to ridge than me . brooke : that 's not true . rick : yes , it is . do n't you remember in paris ? i went over there to head up forrester international , to run an aspect of the company , to gain good leadership skills , and then i come home , and it does n't make a difference to dad , because ridge can draw pretty dresses on a sketch pad . he does n't know how to run a company , not like i do . yet dad will turn the company over to ridge someday . not me . brooke : he is firstborn . rick : no , he 's not , and you know it . brooke : for all intents and purposes . ridge : what ? so that makes him better than the rest of us ? and you know what 's even more ridiculous is that ridge does n't even respect dad . brooke : what are you talking about ? rick : dad 's relationship with donna -- all ridge did was treat donna like dirt , disrespect her , try to split dad and donna up so dad could go back with stephanie . i supported their relationship . i stood up for dad and donna at their wedding . yet again , that does n't make any difference to dad because he will always choose ridge over me , just like you . brooke : did you talk to your father about this ? rick : yeah , i did . i told him that i would not go back to forrester creations . i will not be under ridge 's thumb any longer . i do n't want ridge controlling every aspect of my life . brooke : i ca n't help but feel a little responsible for the way you 're feeling . i just wish that i made you feel like you came first in my life when you were growing up . rick : now 's your chance to put me first . prove to me , mom , that i am more important to you than ridge . mom , the thought of you and ridge getting married again -- it -- i wish i could explain it to you . it makes me sick . all the pain , all the humiliation that you have been through because of this man . think about what he does to you . he convinces you that he loves you . then he makes you feel insecure about that love . mom , who does that to somebody that they love ? he is not your destiny . your destiny is good , and it is hopeful , and it is out there somewhere . you deserve somebody who is gon na treat you and love you the way you deserve to be loved and treated . do n't marry ridge . end it ... now ... for me . but most importantly , for you .Summarize.[/INST]both women hang on eric 's every word . how is he going to handle this with both donna and stephanie expecting to live with him ? he has to choose one of them . both state they will be supportive through any crisis he has , now including rick . he loves both of them and ca n't make that decision now . donna is going to move in and stephanie has no intention of moving out until eric tells her so . they are aghast when he suggests they all live there in the main house together . ridge tells brooke that he thinks rick is going to milk this for every thing it is worth . he 's finally found a way to keep brooke and ridge apart . ridge has moved out of the house , but he does n't think that will be enough for rick . brooke nicely thanks taylor for ridge spending the night at her house last night , but he 's never going to do that again . she checks in with rick who reminds her again that it is not enough that ridge has moved out of the house temporarily . and he certainly does n't like the fact that ridge spent the night with taylor , even innocently . he announces again that ridge will never be good enough for brooke , she has to see that . she does n't see it as an obsession , she loves ridge and always will . rick is sick and tired of the whole situation and he vows that he will be the one who stands up to ridge . he will be the one who finally puts a stop to him .</s> | 5,842 |

aubrey : yeah , i know . it 's really creepy . shane : [ sighs ] aubrey : so , how did the pie contest go ? shane : it was awesome . we won . the gigi morasco special got first place . noelle even gave me the ribbon . aubrey : oh , that 's so great ! i hope she puts it on the menu at the buenos dias . i want to try it . shane : it 's awesome . aubrey : so , how was it being there ? i know you and your mom spent a lot of time in texas . shane : it was great seeing everything again , but ... it was weird being there without her . it was kind of like the pie -- sweet and sour . aubrey : happy and sad . shane : yeah . it kind of helped me . i finally said goodbye . aubrey : that must have been hard . shane : i do n't know . being there , it just ... felt like my mom was okay with it -- and with you spending christmas with us . i mean , if you had spent christmas with us . aubrey : thanks , shane . shane : but the thing is ... i do n't think my dad 's ready . aubrey : for what ? shane : saying goodbye to my mom . but i think i know what it 'll take , and i 'm gon na make it happen . neela : i knew shane 's mother had died , but i did n't know how . what happened ? jack : well , like i told you , i picked on shane until he -- until he tried to kill himself . neela : yes . you told me that . jack : well , after that -- oh , god . neela , you 're gon na hate me . neela : i could never hate you . just tell me . what happened ? jack : i should have just left him alone , but i did n't . i do n't know . it just turned into this game -- get morasco . well , anyway , my friend brad and me , we created this fake myface page and pretended to be this girl who was into shane . and he was going for it , so we kind of took it to the next level . we had the girl invite him over to her house . neela : i thought you said you made her up . jack : we did . the house was empty . we were just gon na scare shane . i swear that 's all it was . neela : so what did shane 's mom have to do with this ? jack : i guess she saw the invite . i guess she was just gon na come over and yell at us or something , but we did n't know it was her . neela : how could you not know shane 's mother ? jack : it was dark . we had the music pumping so shane would think it was a party . and it was raining and she was wearing his rain jacket , and she 's small , so she kind of looks like him . not like that really helps . anyway , she came down and i pushed her into the basement and i locked her in there . we were just trying to scare shane . only there was some generator down there leaking carbon monoxide . neela , i swear to god i did n't know that generator was there . i did n't mean for her to die , but she did ... because of me . rex : you 're not stacy . so , who are you ? gigi 's long - lost twin ? stacy : no . i 'm stacy . at least that 's what everyone tells me . but i do n't know who stacy is . rex , i was in a coma for months , and when i woke up , i did n't remember anything , okay ? i still ca n't . i do n't know who i am . or what i 've done . or even who gigi is . i do n't know you or shane ... except for these little flashes . i do n't remember coming to llanview or all of these things that i 've done to you . i do n't remember anything . you have to believe me . cutter : hey , hey . whoa . hey . did stacy say where she was going and why ? prof. fina : ah , well , she seemed to be suffering from , well , an acute case of neurological regression that was exacerbated , for lack of a better term , by a - a - a - a - a -- a ventricular involvement . cutter : what ? prof. fina : her heart and her mind are in conflict . she seems to be looking for some answers , but , well , something was getting in the way . or perhaps , i should say , someone . viki : so , i decide that charlie and all my friends in paris , texas , they were right -- that i should give clint another chance . david : there 's your first mistake . viki : and i convinced myself that kim was no longer a threat . david : and that 's your second . viki : david , i was so excited coming home on the plane , you know ? clint had said that he loved me and he wanted me , and then i rushed into the house to see him . and there he was -- kissing kim . he had sworn to me that she had written him off , and there she was in my living room with -- david : his tongue jammed down her throat . viki : you know , if they think they 're gon na sleep in my guest room and carry on in my house -- david : viki , you are looking at this all wrong . you just dodged a bullet . kim : well ? what 's the verdict ? clint : i 'm sorry , kimberly . kim : well , that does n't sound too good . let me give it another shot . clint : please . the kisses are wonderful , but the woman i want to spend my life with is viki . kim : you 're just saying that because you 've been stuck here and you do n't want to parade me around this house . not that the old ball - and - chain would allow it . clint : kimberly . kim : and it 's not a problem . i 've been thinking . you 've been so good since you 've been sentenced , so all we have to do is ask the judge to let you move in with me . clint : it has nothing to do with my house arrest . i have n't even thought about that . the fact is i want to be with viki . kim : no , you do n't . david : i thought we talked about this . clint is a monster . he kidnapped me . all those months in a moroccan hellhole ? viki : but he 's being punished for that . david : how is he being punished ? by living in your house and being waited on hand and foot ? he sicced eddie ford on step - nora . he changed your grandson 's paternity test . viki : and he apologized for that . david : oh , that 's all a man has to do now , huh ? apologize . a man has to change , viki , or he 's dead to you -- dead . i learned that when i was a buddhist . viki : i thought he had changed . david : i saw this when i was here on election day . it 's stockholm syndrome right here in llanview . idea for thriller -- locked away with her villainous ex - husband , a beautiful and sexy , but not so smart woman falls for her captor . viki : you 're probably right . david : viki , trust me . when you saw clint locking lips with kim , that was a gift . kim : look at this place , clint . it 's a christmas card . the christmas tree 's in the same old place , and the kids are stopping by , and viki 's heating up the eggnog . it 's familiar and it 's getting to you . but trust me , clint , once new year 's rolls around , you 'll be looking for someone new to rustle your tinsel . she 's your past . i 'm your future . clint : kimberly , you can keep second - guessing me all you want , but it wo n't change the fact that i 'm in love with viki . david : i 'll bet that kiss - off letter from kim was all a trick just to make you believe that it was over . viki : no , clint would n't do that . david : did you actually read the letter ? viki : no . he read it to me . david : so there could have been anything on that piece of paper . viki : but why would he do that if he 's still interested in kim ? david : so somebody would n't kick him out of her house while he 's macking on a certain stripper . viki , you got to see this . he used you . and you 're the one who let him in in the first place . it 's like asking idi amin over for téa . idea for biopic -- téa with idi amin . clint is a horrible , horrible person and you 're lucky to be rid of him . viki : [ sobbing ] david : oh , viki . rex : how stupid do you think i am ? amnesia ? please . you 've been helping cutter . stacy : cutter 's been helping me . rex : you both tried to trick me ! stacy : no , that was just cutter . i did n't know what was going on at first , and then once i found out , i refused , so he backed off . rex : backed off ? you 're stalking me . stacy : rex , i have been going out of my way to avoid you . i do n't want to hurt you . i knew that seeing this ... i could n't go back to llanview , so cutter and i , we spun a globe and my finger landed on paris , texas . aubrey : so , you 're gon na help your dad say goodbye to your mom ? how ? shane : i have this plan . it 's kind of like his christmas present , if it 'll work in time . aubrey : well , i 'm pretty good at keeping secrets . you want to tell me ? maybe i could help . shane : someone 's already helping me . from school . i just hope she comes through for me . jack : [ sighs ] neela : what did you do when you realized what had happened and that someone had died and it was shane 's mom ? jack : i freaked . i was gon na go straight to the cops , but my dad stopped me . and his wife , téa , she 's this really big defense lawyer -- she said i could go to jail for a really long time . neela : even though it was an accident ? jack : that 's what she said . and my dad -- you 're gon na think he 's a real jerk for doing this -- but he found out that brad 's family had lost a lot of money in the real - estate crash , so he paid off brad 's family to have brad take the blame , even though it was my idea , even though i 'm the one who made up that girl 's myface page . i 'm the one who went after shane . i 'm the one who locked his mom in that basement . it was all me ! and look at me ! i 'm living my life , while brad 's locked up and shane 's mom is dead . i 'm the one who should be punished . and maybe i was . neela : what do you mean ? jack : you know karma ? what goes around comes around ? even though i 'm not in jail , i 'm still paying for it . neela : because you feel so guilty ? jack : because i am guilty . i think it was payback . i think my dad died because of what i did to gigi morasco . aubrey : so , this friend is a girl ? shane : it 's not like that . my dad caught me talking to her on the phone and got the same idea , but trust me , she 's just helping me . aubrey : do what ? sorry . never mind . you do n't have to tell me . it 's okay . shane : everyone 's gon na know soon anyway . jack manning is totally into her . she 's pretending to like him so she can get him to admit what he did to my mom . neela : going after shane , that was a mistake . but shane 's mother showing up and that broken generator -- that was an accident . you were n't trying to hurt anyone . jack : yeah , tell that to shane . he lost his mom because of me . and now i lost my dad . so it 's kind of like a trade , you know ? neela : i do n't think that 's how it works . jack : i do . i even saw shane 's mom at the cemetery . okay , you might think i 'm crazy , but it 's true . i saw her . it was like her ghost or spirit or something . but i wish she had been real . i would have told her i was sorry ... that i did n't mean it , that i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . neela : jack . rex : so , you 've got amnesia . you spun a globe , and you just happened to end up here in paris , texas , where shane grew up , gigi worked , and where we just happened to be coming for a visit . stacy : ask the manager . we 've been here for a while . cutter was n't exactly thrilled with the place , but something about it ... it just felt right . but then you showed up , so we packed up and headed to the airport , but then something drew me back here . and i thought you were gone . the pie contest was over , so why would you be here ? i would never have come back here if i knew you were still here . rex : right . stacy : it 's true ! okay . look , you hate me . i get it . i deserve it . so , all i can say is i 'm sorry and ... goodbye . rex : wait . now i know you 're not her . it 's your face ... your voice ... you are so much like gigi . my name 's jeff . david : i hate clint . the fact that he hurt you makes me want to dropkick him into a moroccan prison . but you love him , which i will never understand , by the way . viki , you could have anybody . you could have had me . viki : yeah . i should have jumped at that when i had the chance . david : say no more . viki : david . oh , come on . it 's freezing . david : i 'm gon na make you forget all about clint buchanan . viki : right here in angel square ? david : merry christmas , baby . clint : oh , kimberly ... kim : do n't be nice to me . you 'll make me cry . clint : it 's all right if you do . kim : [ sighs ] you and your stupid handkerchiefs . you know , i used to dream about these . they always smelled so good . [ inhales deeply ] mm . same cologne . i just really thought we were gon na make it , clint . clint : i 'm sorry . kim : oh , you will be . clint buchanan , you 're gon na miss me . clint : i will miss you . kim : [ sighs ] i guess this is it , then . clint : kimberly , if you ever need anything ... kim : i know how to find you . but for now , i have to find cutter and stacy . cutter : where is she ? prof. fina : she is trying to find out who she is ! cutter : i know ! just tell me where she went ! prof. fina : you should never stop a woman from discovering the truth about herself ! hmph ! the universe , young man , it , uh , seeks equilibrium . and if you upset that balance , it 'll just , well , fix it for itself with dire consequence . you will be punished for it . cutter : okay . i hear you . if i hurt her , i 'll regret it . but where did she go ? prof. fina : she went , um , back to where she feels at one with the universe . let her go , young man . let her go . the answer to all of your problems is that you should care enough about her to just , um , well , let her go . stacy : rex ... rex : god , i almost fell for it . stacy : i 'm not trying to hurt you . rex : y - y - you look like her . you sound like her . you 're not her , okay ? ! this hurts ! stacy : i know . rex : then -- then why you 'd come to my house for the halloween party if you did n't want to hurt me ? stacy : because i thought that if i saw you , it might help me remember something . but it did n't . i do n't know you . rex : okay . stacy : it does n't matter now , okay ? i do n't want to be gigi 's copy . i want to go back to the way i was . and i tried . i went to that plastic surgeon , and i asked him to change me back . rex : why did n't he ? stacy : because of the coma . he said it would be too dangerous to put me under ... so he could n't do the surgery . i 'm so sorry , rex . i 'm gon na go now . but first , could you just tell me one thing ... about stacy ? aubrey : uh , that 's a pretty big favor to ask , shane . are you sure that 's not too much pressure to put on your friend ? shane : she gets that jack needs to pay for what he did . and you want dad to move on , right ? aubrey : are you sure this is about your dad ? or is it possible that you want to see jack pay ? shane : well , he needs to pay . of course that 's why i 'm doing this . anyway , all neela 's gon na do is get jack to talk -- aubrey : whoa , wait , wait . neela ? neela patel ? shane : yeah . you know her ? aubrey : vimal 's little sister . yeah , rama 's told me all about her . shane : what 'd she say ? aubrey : that she 's a nice girl , smart , pretty ... and has a major crush on jack manning . shane : yeah , well , she got over that when i told her how he killed my mom . at least , i think she did . jack : you must hate me . i killed shane 's mom . neela : but you did n't mean to . jack : it 's still my fault . neela : it 's not like you woke up one morning and said you were gon na kill someone . it was an accident . jack : it does n't matter . she 's dead because of me , and there 's nothing i can do about it . i mean , yeah , i made all those stupid promises about becoming a better person . but that wo n't change anything . neela : you 're just going to have to live with this . jack : but i ca n't ! that 's what i 've been trying to say ! i mean , it was all right when i could talk to my dad about it . but then he was murdered . and now i know what it -- now i know what i did to shane . i know how it feels to lose a parent . i 'm a terrible person , neela . neela : no , jack . no , you 're not . stacy : when cutter and i showed up here , i ... i started to get these feelings like i had been here before . i started to remember things . do you know why ? rex : nice try . stacy was never in paris , texas . clint : life is too short . do n't go chasing after those losers . kim : and let my brother get away with sending me to prison ? not the wentworth way . and i have to find him before he tries to sell stacy to the highest bidder . clint : you always were a good friend . kim : i 'm a good person . clint : yes , you are . it 's just bad timing . kim : story of my life . clint : it 's gon na work out for you . you 're a strong , smart , beautiful woman . kim : and like i said , clint , you 're gon na miss me . before i go ... what if viki does n't take you back ? david : feast your eyes . viki : wow . david : eh ? viki : that 's really something . david : yeah . i think the nut makes him look dangerous , do n't you ? wait till you see the movie . i 'm fierce .

we would have known the truth in a second . gigi was amazing . you 're nothing like her . stacy : i know . rex : when she died , the only thing that kept me going was shane , making sure that everything was okay for him . and then i have to find out that there 's this woman walking around trying to pass herself off as the love of my life and that she 's you . stacy : rex , that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . i 'm not that woman . i 'm not stacy . shane : so , my dad told you that my aunt got this doctor to make her look like my mom and then she was gon na , i do n't know , fool us ? aubrey : yeah , i know . it 's really creepy . shane : [ sighs ] aubrey : so , how did the pie contest go ? shane : it was awesome . we won . the gigi morasco special got first place . noelle even gave me the ribbon . aubrey : oh , that 's so great ! i hope she puts it on the menu at the buenos dias . i want to try it . shane : it 's awesome . aubrey : so , how was it being there ? i know you and your mom spent a lot of time in texas . shane : it was great seeing everything again , but ... it was weird being there without her . it was kind of like the pie -- sweet and sour . aubrey : happy and sad . shane : yeah . it kind of helped me . i finally said goodbye . aubrey : that must have been hard . shane : i do n't know . being there , it just ... felt like my mom was okay with it -- and with you spending christmas with us . i mean , if you had spent christmas with us . aubrey : thanks , shane . shane : but the thing is ... i do n't think my dad 's ready . aubrey : for what ? shane : saying goodbye to my mom . but i think i know what it 'll take , and i 'm gon na make it happen . neela : i knew shane 's mother had died , but i did n't know how . what happened ? jack : well , like i told you , i picked on shane until he -- until he tried to kill himself . neela : yes . you told me that . jack : well , after that -- oh , god . neela , you 're gon na hate me . neela : i could never hate you . just tell me . what happened ? jack : i should have just left him alone , but i did n't . i do n't know . it just turned into this game -- get morasco . well , anyway , my friend brad and me , we created this fake myface page and pretended to be this girl who was into shane . and he was going for it , so we kind of took it to the next level . we had the girl invite him over to her house . neela : i thought you said you made her up . jack : we did . the house was empty . we were just gon na scare shane . i swear that 's all it was . neela : so what did shane 's mom have to do with this ? jack : i guess she saw the invite . i guess she was just gon na come over and yell at us or something , but we did n't know it was her . neela : how could you not know shane 's mother ? jack : it was dark . we had the music pumping so shane would think it was a party . and it was raining and she was wearing his rain jacket , and she 's small , so she kind of looks like him . not like that really helps . anyway , she came down and i pushed her into the basement and i locked her in there . we were just trying to scare shane . only there was some generator down there leaking carbon monoxide . neela , i swear to god i did n't know that generator was there . i did n't mean for her to die , but she did ... because of me . rex : you 're not stacy . so , who are you ? gigi 's long - lost twin ? stacy : no . i 'm stacy . at least that 's what everyone tells me . but i do n't know who stacy is . rex , i was in a coma for months , and when i woke up , i did n't remember anything , okay ? i still ca n't . i do n't know who i am . or what i 've done . or even who gigi is . i do n't know you or shane ... except for these little flashes . i do n't remember coming to llanview or all of these things that i 've done to you . i do n't remember anything . you have to believe me . cutter : hey , hey . whoa . hey . did stacy say where she was going and why ? prof. fina : ah , well , she seemed to be suffering from , well , an acute case of neurological regression that was exacerbated , for lack of a better term , by a - a - a - a - a -- a ventricular involvement . cutter : what ? prof. fina : her heart and her mind are in conflict . she seems to be looking for some answers , but , well , something was getting in the way . or perhaps , i should say , someone . viki : so , i decide that charlie and all my friends in paris , texas , they were right -- that i should give clint another chance . david : there 's your first mistake . viki : and i convinced myself that kim was no longer a threat . david : and that 's your second . viki : david , i was so excited coming home on the plane , you know ? clint had said that he loved me and he wanted me , and then i rushed into the house to see him . and there he was -- kissing kim . he had sworn to me that she had written him off , and there she was in my living room with -- david : his tongue jammed down her throat . viki : you know , if they think they 're gon na sleep in my guest room and carry on in my house -- david : viki , you are looking at this all wrong . you just dodged a bullet . kim : well ? what 's the verdict ? clint : i 'm sorry , kimberly . kim : well , that does n't sound too good . let me give it another shot . clint : please . the kisses are wonderful , but the woman i want to spend my life with is viki . kim : you 're just saying that because you 've been stuck here and you do n't want to parade me around this house . not that the old ball - and - chain would allow it . clint : kimberly . kim : and it 's not a problem . i 've been thinking . you 've been so good since you 've been sentenced , so all we have to do is ask the judge to let you move in with me . clint : it has nothing to do with my house arrest . i have n't even thought about that . the fact is i want to be with viki . kim : no , you do n't . david : i thought we talked about this . clint is a monster . he kidnapped me . all those months in a moroccan hellhole ? viki : but he 's being punished for that . david : how is he being punished ? by living in your house and being waited on hand and foot ? he sicced eddie ford on step - nora . he changed your grandson 's paternity test . viki : and he apologized for that . david : oh , that 's all a man has to do now , huh ? apologize . a man has to change , viki , or he 's dead to you -- dead . i learned that when i was a buddhist . viki : i thought he had changed . david : i saw this when i was here on election day . it 's stockholm syndrome right here in llanview . idea for thriller -- locked away with her villainous ex - husband , a beautiful and sexy , but not so smart woman falls for her captor . viki : you 're probably right . david : viki , trust me . when you saw clint locking lips with kim , that was a gift . kim : look at this place , clint . it 's a christmas card . the christmas tree 's in the same old place , and the kids are stopping by , and viki 's heating up the eggnog . it 's familiar and it 's getting to you . but trust me , clint , once new year 's rolls around , you 'll be looking for someone new to rustle your tinsel . she 's your past . i 'm your future . clint : kimberly , you can keep second - guessing me all you want , but it wo n't change the fact that i 'm in love with viki . david : i 'll bet that kiss - off letter from kim was all a trick just to make you believe that it was over . viki : no , clint would n't do that . david : did you actually read the letter ? viki : no . he read it to me . david : so there could have been anything on that piece of paper . viki : but why would he do that if he 's still interested in kim ? david : so somebody would n't kick him out of her house while he 's macking on a certain stripper . viki , you got to see this . he used you . and you 're the one who let him in in the first place . it 's like asking idi amin over for téa . idea for biopic -- téa with idi amin . clint is a horrible , horrible person and you 're lucky to be rid of him . viki : [ sobbing ] david : oh , viki . rex : how stupid do you think i am ? amnesia ? please . you 've been helping cutter . stacy : cutter 's been helping me . rex : you both tried to trick me ! stacy : no , that was just cutter . i did n't know what was going on at first , and then once i found out , i refused , so he backed off . rex : backed off ? you 're stalking me . stacy : rex , i have been going out of my way to avoid you . i do n't want to hurt you . i knew that seeing this ... i could n't go back to llanview , so cutter and i , we spun a globe and my finger landed on paris , texas . aubrey : so , you 're gon na help your dad say goodbye to your mom ? how ? shane : i have this plan . it 's kind of like his christmas present , if it 'll work in time . aubrey : well , i 'm pretty good at keeping secrets . you want to tell me ? maybe i could help . shane : someone 's already helping me . from school . i just hope she comes through for me . jack : [ sighs ] neela : what did you do when you realized what had happened and that someone had died and it was shane 's mom ? jack : i freaked . i was gon na go straight to the cops , but my dad stopped me . and his wife , téa , she 's this really big defense lawyer -- she said i could go to jail for a really long time . neela : even though it was an accident ? jack : that 's what she said . and my dad -- you 're gon na think he 's a real jerk for doing this -- but he found out that brad 's family had lost a lot of money in the real - estate crash , so he paid off brad 's family to have brad take the blame , even though it was my idea , even though i 'm the one who made up that girl 's myface page . i 'm the one who went after shane . i 'm the one who locked his mom in that basement . it was all me ! and look at me ! i 'm living my life , while brad 's locked up and shane 's mom is dead . i 'm the one who should be punished . and maybe i was . neela : what do you mean ? jack : you know karma ? what goes around comes around ? even though i 'm not in jail , i 'm still paying for it . neela : because you feel so guilty ? jack : because i am guilty . i think it was payback . i think my dad died because of what i did to gigi morasco . aubrey : so , this friend is a girl ? shane : it 's not like that . my dad caught me talking to her on the phone and got the same idea , but trust me , she 's just helping me . aubrey : do what ? sorry . never mind . you do n't have to tell me . it 's okay . shane : everyone 's gon na know soon anyway . jack manning is totally into her . she 's pretending to like him so she can get him to admit what he did to my mom . neela : going after shane , that was a mistake . but shane 's mother showing up and that broken generator -- that was an accident . you were n't trying to hurt anyone . jack : yeah , tell that to shane . he lost his mom because of me . and now i lost my dad . so it 's kind of like a trade , you know ? neela : i do n't think that 's how it works . jack : i do . i even saw shane 's mom at the cemetery . okay , you might think i 'm crazy , but it 's true . i saw her . it was like her ghost or spirit or something . but i wish she had been real . i would have told her i was sorry ... that i did n't mean it , that i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . neela : jack . rex : so , you 've got amnesia . you spun a globe , and you just happened to end up here in paris , texas , where shane grew up , gigi worked , and where we just happened to be coming for a visit . stacy : ask the manager . we 've been here for a while . cutter was n't exactly thrilled with the place , but something about it ... it just felt right . but then you showed up , so we packed up and headed to the airport , but then something drew me back here . and i thought you were gone . the pie contest was over , so why would you be here ? i would never have come back here if i knew you were still here . rex : right . stacy : it 's true ! okay . look , you hate me . i get it . i deserve it . so , all i can say is i 'm sorry and ... goodbye . rex : wait . now i know you 're not her . it 's your face ... your voice ... you are so much like gigi . my name 's jeff . david : i hate clint . the fact that he hurt you makes me want to dropkick him into a moroccan prison . but you love him , which i will never understand , by the way . viki , you could have anybody . you could have had me . viki : yeah . i should have jumped at that when i had the chance . david : say no more . viki : david . oh , come on . it 's freezing . david : i 'm gon na make you forget all about clint buchanan . viki : right here in angel square ? david : merry christmas , baby . clint : oh , kimberly ... kim : do n't be nice to me . you 'll make me cry . clint : it 's all right if you do . kim : [ sighs ] you and your stupid handkerchiefs . you know , i used to dream about these . they always smelled so good . [ inhales deeply ] mm . same cologne . i just really thought we were gon na make it , clint . clint : i 'm sorry . kim : oh , you will be . clint buchanan , you 're gon na miss me . clint : i will miss you . kim : [ sighs ] i guess this is it , then . clint : kimberly , if you ever need anything ... kim : i know how to find you . but for now , i have to find cutter and stacy . cutter : where is she ? prof. fina : she is trying to find out who she is ! cutter : i know ! just tell me where she went ! prof. fina : you should never stop a woman from discovering the truth about herself ! hmph ! the universe , young man , it , uh , seeks equilibrium . and if you upset that balance , it 'll just , well , fix it for itself with dire consequence . you will be punished for it . cutter : okay . i hear you . if i hurt her , i 'll regret it . but where did she go ? prof. fina : she went , um , back to where she feels at one with the universe . let her go , young man . let her go . the answer to all of your problems is that you should care enough about her to just , um , well , let her go . stacy : rex ... rex : god , i almost fell for it . stacy : i 'm not trying to hurt you . rex : y - y - you look like her . you sound like her . you 're not her , okay ? ! this hurts ! stacy : i know . rex : then -- then why you 'd come to my house for the halloween party if you did n't want to hurt me ? stacy : because i thought that if i saw you , it might help me remember something . but it did n't . i do n't know you . rex : okay . stacy : it does n't matter now , okay ? i do n't want to be gigi 's copy . i want to go back to the way i was . and i tried . i went to that plastic surgeon , and i asked him to change me back . rex : why did n't he ? stacy : because of the coma . he said it would be too dangerous to put me under ... so he could n't do the surgery . i 'm so sorry , rex . i 'm gon na go now . but first , could you just tell me one thing ... about stacy ? aubrey : uh , that 's a pretty big favor to ask , shane . are you sure that 's not too much pressure to put on your friend ? shane : she gets that jack needs to pay for what he did . and you want dad to move on , right ? aubrey : are you sure this is about your dad ? or is it possible that you want to see jack pay ? shane : well , he needs to pay . of course that 's why i 'm doing this . anyway , all neela 's gon na do is get jack to talk -- aubrey : whoa , wait , wait . neela ? neela patel ? shane : yeah . you know her ? aubrey : vimal 's little sister . yeah , rama 's told me all about her . shane : what 'd she say ? aubrey : that she 's a nice girl , smart , pretty ... and has a major crush on jack manning . shane : yeah , well , she got over that when i told her how he killed my mom . at least , i think she did . jack : you must hate me . i killed shane 's mom . neela : but you did n't mean to . jack : it 's still my fault . neela : it 's not like you woke up one morning and said you were gon na kill someone . it was an accident . jack : it does n't matter . she 's dead because of me , and there 's nothing i can do about it . i mean , yeah , i made all those stupid promises about becoming a better person . but that wo n't change anything . neela : you 're just going to have to live with this . jack : but i ca n't ! that 's what i 've been trying to say ! i mean , it was all right when i could talk to my dad about it . but then he was murdered . and now i know what it -- now i know what i did to shane . i know how it feels to lose a parent . i 'm a terrible person , neela . neela : no , jack . no , you 're not . stacy : when cutter and i showed up here , i ... i started to get these feelings like i had been here before . i started to remember things . do you know why ? rex : nice try . stacy was never in paris , texas . clint : life is too short . do n't go chasing after those losers . kim : and let my brother get away with sending me to prison ? not the wentworth way . and i have to find him before he tries to sell stacy to the highest bidder . clint : you always were a good friend . kim : i 'm a good person . clint : yes , you are . it 's just bad timing . kim : story of my life . clint : it 's gon na work out for you . you 're a strong , smart , beautiful woman . kim : and like i said , clint , you 're gon na miss me . before i go ... what if viki does n't take you back ? david : feast your eyes . viki : wow . david : eh ? viki : that 's really something . david : yeah . i think the nut makes him look dangerous , do n't you ? wait till you see the movie . i 'm fierce .

[ scene_break ] singer : at times it comes and goes again an empire founded on a whim and is it less important if we were young ? in years , will i look back and miss the way that we made all of this ? a sanctuary that i would never trade for anything and there you were again to show me just how i fit in this incandescent second skin you 've wrapped around me time and time again and so it goes this ai n't a love song it could n't be that i would fall for you so soon my rose that blooms in autumn go on break me , take me to the place i 'd want to be and we can just pretend it was n't all a dream there 's a lifetime inside of your eyes it 's been a long while since i woke up alive and hell , i know there 's times when troubles do n't die but i can try and could we try ? and this ai n't a love song [ scene_break ] deacon : oh , quinn , you naughty , little minx . [ chuckles ] that looks painful . ricardo montemayor . ricardo : wyatt , i can only imagine how surprised you are . i am , too . my heart was never fuller than when i was caretaker of the diamond . it was only out of my reach once when i loaned it to you . you have a shared passion and reverence for the ... quintessence of this gem . i am at her mercy , as you will be , the mother of all diamonds . she 's yours .

[ diane laughs ] sonny : enough , okay , ladies , please ? if -- if elizabeth wants diane , let her let her have diane . alexis : and what about lucky ? i would think you , of all people , might -- sonny : i really do n't care about any of this right now . alexis : well , i think maybe you should just stay out of it . sonny : well , you 're in my office taking up my lawyer 's time when i need her on something else . why are you bulldozing yourself in the middle of this , when you have nothing to do with elizabeth and lucky anyway ? why do n't you do yourself a favor and stay out of it ? alexis : guess what -- you do n't get to tell me what to do anymore .

[ scene_break ] logan : you know what ? one beating , fine . even i have to admit i had it coming . lulu is nikolas ' , you know , little sister and he 's got every right to protect her . but all i did today was go over to him and try to initiate a conversation to apologize . i could n't even get a word out of my mouth before he 's pounding on me again . maxie : i would n't be too worried ; logan 's probably lying -- again . i mean , that 's what he does . even if some of what he says is the truth , i 'm sure he 's leaving out huge chunks of the story -- like what exactly you did to provoke nikolas . logan : you know what ? you do n't have to take my word for it , okay ? you can go ask any one of the hotel staff , or even scott baldwin -- he was there . mike : oh , that 's -- that 's a reliable source . logan : listen , okay ? i know you love the guy , all right ? but , seriously , nikolas -- the boy got a screw loose . you need to go get him some help before he hurts someone else . emily : okay , uh , thank you for your honesty . maxie : ha . i happen to be thrilled that nikolas beat the crap out of you -- again -- and next time , i just really hope i 'm there to cheer him on . logan : georgie -- georgie : yes ? logan : you were here , you saw what he did to me -- he tried to choke me to death . why did n't you back me up ? georgie : logan , as far as i 'm concerned , you got exactly what you deserved -- and not just because of the way you hurt lulu . you also hurt my sister . logan : georgie , you know i 'm telling the truth . mike : hey , hey , logan ? chill , all right ? just chill . [ scene_break ] lulu : do n't look at me like that . a lot of people screw up and -- big , and they get forgiven -- think of all the things that you have done . carly : okay , i get that . let 's talk about what 's important -- trust . do you trust logan ? [ lulu sighs ] lulu : honestly , no . carly : there 's your answer . there you go , lulu . lulu : i know . carly : i get the urge to want to save the bad guy , okay ? i get the urge to want to pull him back from the brink of self - destruction . i know what it 's like to want to be the one thing his life revolves around . but it 's not a one- time - only thing , lulu . it 's a way of life . he will smash your heart , wallow in guilt , and beg for your forgiveness , and you know what ? you 'll forgive him . you will . and you 're riding the wave -- you 're up , you 're down , you 're all around -- and life will be great for a while . but before you know it , the cycle will start again . it 's going to happen . when you finally meet a man -- he is who he is , and you need to see him for who he is , and i do n't want to see logan taking you on an emotionally abusive trip . you do n't deserve it . nobody does . [ scene_break ] diane : sorry to interrupt . kate : well , it 's not as if i 'm busy . diane : ah . i heard that malevolent worm , trevor lansing , got you fired . so i 've been thinking . you definitely have grounds for a lawsuit , and with your permission , i would like to draft the papers immediately . a long , `` ugly as we can make it `` public scandal will force warren james to reconsider his erroneous decision , put you back in charge of `` couture , `` just in time to supervise your annual paris -- kate : diane -- diane , you are kind . but i 've decided to handle this in a different way . [ scene_break ] sonny : thanks for coming . jax : if this is about anthony zacchara and any threat to carly and the boys -- sonny : no , this is about kate howard . she lost her job at `` couture . `` jax : what happened ? sonny : well , as you know , she was drugged before her last accident . unfortunately , we could n't prove it . so they found her guilty of d.u.i . , reckless driving , she has to do six months community service . she was about to take a leave of absence , and trevor lansing put the squeeze on warren james , got her fired . jax : all because trevor lansing has it in for you ? sonny : i do n't like the fact that i ca n't do anything for kate , and i hate it even more -- jax : that you have to ask me for help ? is that what you 're doing ? sonny : is there anything that you can do to help kate , jax ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal has been diligent in his assignment to monitor the also unhinged one 's phone communications , but he 's -- he 's experiencing interference . either johnny zacchara is using his phone on an elevated , wind- battered location , or -- [ keys jingle ] spinelli : uh -- look , fair lulu 's home , i 'll call you back . lulu : okay , let me guess -- more stuff i should n't know about ? spinelli : uh , just another project for stone cold , nothing to worry your beautiful , blond mind about . look , can -- can the jackal get you a cool , tasty beverage ? lulu : huh . i have to change for work and figure out how to be all perky for people who want pie a la mode and act as if nothing is wrong in my world . spinelli : you 're still feeling residual pain ? lulu : and i hate it , because i was finally on solid ground . spinelli : and the simian one unbalanced it . look , this , too , shall pass . lulu : huh . spinelli : no , i just hope that the next time you open your sensitive heart , it 'll be with someone who would never , ever treat it in such a careless manner . lulu : well , if there 's one thing i 've learned from this entire logan disaster , it 's something i knew before he came along -- protect the sensitive heart at all costs and never fall in love , because it just opens the door to heartache . this time i wo n't forget it . [ scene_break ] jax : well , you heard the man , i tried my best . sonny : trevor has kate 's boss painted into a corner . jax : warren was very careful about what he said . from what i could gather , trevor has something on warren , and if he did n't fire kate , he would 've gone public with it . the morals clause was the only justifiable way . sonny : so this warren is just going to hang kate out to dry ? jax : yeah , pretty much sums it up . look , warren likes kate . he went to great pains to point out that she was convicted for drunk driving and two prior accounts of reckless endangerment , making it virtually impossible for him to come to her defense . jax : the reckless endangerment charges were one thing , but she -- she was not driving drunk , she was set up . jax : well , as you pointed out , there 's no way to prove that . sonny : thanks for at least trying , jax . jax : i 'm sorry i could n't be of more help . [ scene_break ] diane : well , i think you 're more distracted than i thought , because you 've already paid me . kate : it 's not a check . just open it . [ diane sighs ] kate : granted , it 's just a sketch , but it 's a start -- one designer original . now i just have to get the designer to return my calls . diane : it 's stunning . oh , my god . neela llorente ? kate : it 's actually an idea of mine that neela toyed with . diane : ah ! the best of both worlds ! kate , do you see now why your voice in fashion can not be stilled ? please , i am begging you ; do not roll over for trevor lansing . let me take this to court . kate : diane , if i sue `` couture , `` i will be forever unemployable . no , it is best for me to just step aside graciously and let the magazine decline without me . diane : which it most certainly will . [ phone rings ] diane : excuse me . i have to go . your courage and your confidence are inspiring . thank you . and thank you for this . [ kate chuckles ] diane : i can not wait to see the translation to fabric -- oh ! kate : oh , forget it , my pleasure . [ kate laughs ] diane : ah ! oh ! [ kate sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : elizabeth , hi . i 'm sure you 've heard by now that lucky 's asked me to represent this divorce ? elizabeth : yes -- and i just left a message for diane . i told lucky that i 'm not comfortable with him filing , nor with you representing him . alexis : why would you object ? elizabeth : i do n't know if you 're aware of this , but lucky and sam are sleeping together . [ alexis sighs ] alexis : oh , boy . no , i did n't know that . that must be very hurtful for you . elizabeth : well , my point is , is that your sam 's mother . alexis : i 'm also an attorney , so i 'm trained to be fair and unbiased . elizabeth : i would rather just use diane . alexis : diane certainly poses a conflict -- she represents jason and sonny . elizabeth : i do n't see what that has to do with anything . alexis : well , elizabeth , it 's not a stretch of the imagination to know that jason would influence diane to act solely in your best interests . besides , i do n't think a corinthos attorney is a very healthy choice for you . elizabeth : well , thank you for your concern , but i do n't need your advice right now . lucky : good -- you two are talking . do you see now why it 's good for alexis to handle our divorce ? elizabeth : no , i do n't . lucky : why are you being so stubborn ? alexis : it has something to do with the fact that you 're sleeping with my daughter -- and i understand your reaction to this . however , i just want you both to know that i would be fair and impartial -- lucky : you have no right to bring that up after you slept with jason . elizabeth : oh , you need to get your chronology straight -- i slept with jason after i found you in bed with maxie . lucky : and i 'm not carrying a torch for maxie . elizabeth : oh , i see . so the fact that you and maxie had a casual exchange of sex for drugs makes you in the right ? lucky : listen , i did n't say that -- besides , that 's not the point . i trust alexis . diane : well , then by all means , you should choose alexis for your representation . and i will handle elizabeth 's end of things . but be forewarned , no one 's going to run roughshod over my client . i will protect elizabeth 's interests vigorously and relentlessly . alexis : i thought this was supposed to be an uncontested divorce . diane : you thought wrong . mr. spencer 's behavior has been cruel and punishing , and i 'm certain a judge will find it subject to recompense . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , i heard . i 'm sorry . i know there 's -- there 's not much more i can offer you right now , but , you know , i -- i promise you i 'm going to do everything i can to make this right for you . kate : no , it 's my problem , sonny , i will handle it . sonny : i wish you would n't do that . kate : do what ? sonny : put on a show of how strong you are . you do n't need to do that now . kate : it 's not -- it 's not a show , sonny . it 's who i am ; it 's who i 've always been . fundamental things do n't change -- it 's like you and me . you 're as bad for me now as you were when we were teenagers , and i was an idiot to stay here and -- and start up with you again . sonny : that 's not true and you know that -- kate : you know what ? this is mine , all right ? this is my loss , this is my grief , and if you want to do something to help me , then just go . go , and let me feel it ! [ scene_break ] spinelli : i , the jackal , have decided to record this oral history of sorts for stone cold so as to not paraphrase or miss any nuances that johnny zacchara might be sending in his texts to fair lulu . okay -- um -- activity from the warped one 's phone , a number -- not fair lulu 's . um -- oh , no . no . um -- please say that the jackal is mistaken for once . please . but he is not , and the mystery receiver is texting back , and it is the valkyrie .

[ indistinct chatter ] kayla : please state your name for the record , doctor . daniel : my name is dr. daniel jonas . i would now like to make a statement . maxine : theresa , what are you doing over there ? theresa : i was just thinking . westbrook : on the evening of october 25th of this year , encountered a university hospital employee named theresa donovan at her apartment . i found her -- anne : i would like to know why you were there , dr. jonas . westbrook : excuse me . all questions will wait until after the statement has been read . anne : well , i think it 's drug - related , so i think -- westbrook : this is my meeting , ms . milbauer . no questions until after the statement has been read . daniel : and i am not here to discuss why i was there or anything else of a personal nature . my understanding is that this hearing is about my conduct as a doctor , and that is all i will be testifying to . ms. donovan was unconscious when i arrived , and i determined that she was suffering from a drug overdose . i called 911 , then took steps to ensure that her airway remained open and worked to revive her , but i was unsuccessful . when the ambulance arrived , she was transferred to university hospital , treated for the overdose . fortunately , she made a complete recovery . kayla : thank you , dr. jonas . daniel : and for the record , since i 'm sure i 'm gon na be asked , i was not under the influence of any drug that evening . hospital tests performed on the night in question confirm that . also , i would like these entered into the record . these are 127 letters from patients and staff members attesting to my ability and/or integrity . and i deeply appreciate everyone who did this for me . ej : well , as i 've said from the beginning , i see no reason why a doctor who saved a woman 's life should be called before this committee . however , here we are . so , dr. westbrook , do you have a conclusion ? westbrook : i do , but first , i 'd like to thank you for your testimony , dr. jonas . [ knock on door ] kayla : excuse me . theresa . theresa : i - i have a statement . kayla : is it regarding these proceedings ? theresa : it 's about dr. jonas , yes . sami : oh , god . i have dirt all over me . i mean , i could have lost that earring anywhere . where the hell was i ? too many places . i mean , between carting the kids around and dragging a dead body . i mean , i just lost the earring , that 's all . i just -- i lost it .

'cause there 's more to it than that , sami . sami : like what ? kate : like i used nick 's phone to text hope to let her know that nick `` arrived safely `` in new york and is doing swell . sami : okay , but , you know , ease off the communication . it 's not a game . kate : whatever . and i arranged for his things to be picked up that he had sent there previously . and they will disappear . sami : perfect . kate : i called your son , and it seemed that gabi was still in bed , which says to me that she 's having trouble sleeping . sami : right , i 'm sure . kate : you do know that she 's the wild card in all of this , right ? sami : [ laughs ] no kidding , kate . she 's the reason we 're in this mess . kate : so are you gon na tell me why you were down by the river ? sami : i lost something . daniel : i do n't think anne was very happy . jennifer : well , then my day is complete . [ both chuckle ] daniel : no , seriously , the way you shut her down , it was well done . but what i appreciated mostly was the way you supported me . this letter -- it was so kind , so warm . jennifer : well , i was asked if i would write it . and i immediately knew that i had to . daniel : but the words you used to describe me -- jennifer : yeah , every word in that letter is true . you are a great doctor . kate : you lost the other one ? sami : it 's a good thing ej did n't notice . he gave them to me for valentine 's day . kate : my god . this is 30,000 at least . sami : those earrings cost $ 30,000 ? kate : no , one . one , sami . one is 30k . and now its twin is somewhere down by the river . sami : oh , my god . it might not be , okay ? it might be at the house . i might have lost it anywhere . it 's gon na turn up . i am going to find it . kate : god , let 's hope that a lost earring is the only other problem with all of this . okay , look . we have to go talk to gabi now . sami : what ? i ca n't . i have to go take the kids to the natural history museum downstate . you talk to gabi , all right ? thank you . hey , did you check that flash drive that nick gave you ? kate : no ! no , not yet . sami : okay , well , you should when you get a chance . i mean , who knows what kind of incriminating evidence he 's got on that thing . kate : okay , look , do n't start making up imaginary problems , okay ? do n't . just go . sami : [ sighs ] rafe : [ chuckles ] [ laughs ] jordan : oh . rafe : sorry . sorry . sami : oh , my god . whoa ! oh ! abe : whoa , whoa , whoa . sami : oh ! oh , my gosh .

[ both chuckle ] daniel : no , seriously , the way you shut her down , it was well done . but what i appreciated mostly was the way you supported me . this letter -- it was so kind , so warm . jennifer : well , i was asked if i would write it . and i immediately knew that i had to . daniel : but the words you used to describe me -- jennifer : yeah , every word in that letter is true . you are a great doctor . kate : you lost the other one ? sami : it 's a good thing ej did n't notice . he gave them to me for valentine 's day . kate : my god . this is 30,000 at least . sami : those earrings cost $ 30,000 ? kate : no , one . one , sami . one is 30k . and now its twin is somewhere down by the river . sami : oh , my god . it might not be , okay ? it might be at the house . i might have lost it anywhere . it 's gon na turn up . i am going to find it . kate : god , let 's hope that a lost earring is the only other problem with all of this . okay , look . we have to go talk to gabi now . sami : what ? i ca n't . i have to go take the kids to the natural history museum downstate . you talk to gabi , all right ? thank you . hey , did you check that flash drive that nick gave you ? kate : no ! no , not yet . sami : okay , well , you should when you get a chance . i mean , who knows what kind of incriminating evidence he 's got on that thing . kate : okay , look , do n't start making up imaginary problems , okay ? do n't . just go . sami : [ sighs ] rafe : [ chuckles ] [ laughs ] jordan : oh . rafe : sorry . sorry . sami : oh , my god . whoa ! oh ! abe : whoa , whoa , whoa . sami : oh ! oh , my gosh .

that nearly destroyed my company that i spent a lifetime building up ! our whole family nearly perished in the fire , caused by paragon , by that damn virus ! yes , i went after jack -- mistakenly so . i did n't realize until later that who was responsible for unleashing that virus on our company was adam and ian ward . by the time i realized that , it was too late . your mother was already on a path of destruction . if i were you , i would watch her carefully . i think the signs are all there . summer : wh - what signs ? victor : i am telling you that your mom is about to spin out of control . billy : that little protest with michael -- was that part of the plan ? phyllis : no . jack : then why antagonize the judge publicly ? phyllis : because i could not stand michael defending victor for what he did , and i do not think it 's a bad thing for the judge to see that we are on opposite sides . jack : wait . this is a trial . we 're gon na hear things about victor that none of us want to hear . can you keep calm and quiet until it 's your turn to talk ? if the answer is no , you could be sabotaging your own cause . summer : now you 're worried about my mom ? victor : sweetheart , i hate to tell you this ... but i 've seen your mom like this before , okay ? she becomes very destructive , very unpredictable . summer : destructive ? victor : yeah . you know christine williams , the district attorney , right ? summer : yeah . victor : you know what your mother did ? summer : [ sighs ] victor : she rented a car in order to mow christine down in cold blood . she almost went to prison for it . summer : okay , grandpa . that was a million years ago . victor : it is not an isolated incident . i 'm telling you . i 'm warning you . how do you think she got ahold of pass key ? you know how ? she had adam kidnapped . summer : what ? no . no . no , she did n't . victor : yes . i 'm almost absolutely certain she did . because who has pass key right now ? your mom does . besides , adam always said that he thought that it was a woman behind his abduction . summer : okay . so , if you really think that that 's true , why did n't you have my mom arrested ? victor : why do you think ? summer : be - because you felt guilty about marco and you wanted to spare her . is that -- is that what you 're saying ? victor : that 's what i 'm saying . what i 'm also telling you is that your mother is in a very dangerous state of mind . she 's like a runaway train . she 'll run over anything in her path . judge murray : the prosecution may call its first witness . christine : the people call marisa sierras . marisa : then marco told me that victor was behind the whole scheme . christine : and you believed him ? marisa : marco is smart . he is clever . but were are too many moving pieces . he could not have done something like this on his own . christine : he would want the help of someone who knew jack abbott -- how he talked , how he dressed , what his background was . victor : she is leading the witness . why do n't you object ? michael : we 're just giving her enough rope . christine : did marco tell you what he would get out of the deal ? marisa : well , victor bribed the warden at the prison in peru to release him , and then he paid marco to impersonate jack . christine : in addition to the pay , whatever that may be , marco also got to enjoy jack 's privileged lifestyle and everything that came along with it . is n't that correct ? marisa : yes . christine : your witness . michael : no questions at this time , your honor , but i do reserve the right to recall this witness . judge murray : very well . you may step down . victor : what do you mean ? no cross ? she 's a known liar . you could tear her to shreds . michael : shh . my strategy does not involve badgering ... victor : your strategy ? give me a break . christine : the people call paul williams . next item , people 's exhibit `` r. `` if you could , identify who is in the picture and where it came from . paul : it is a still from a video - surveillance camera at a maximum - security prison outside of lima , peru . it clearly shows victor newman with marco annicelli standing outside the gates . you can also see the car that victor hired to take them to the airport , the plate numbers matching the numbers on the report that were given to us by the limousine company for that evening . christine : who else is in the picture ? paul : well , that would be the prison warden , a man by the name of santiago . we tried to depose him numerous times , but , for some strange reason , he was never available . christine : thank you , chief williams . i 'm done . michael : chief williams , did you travel personally down to lima , peru , to check out the story ? paul : no , i did not . michael : no ? you sent someone else from the department , then ? paul : no . i did n't do that , either . michael : really ? for a case this big ? why is that ? paul : well , i did n't think it was necessary , and it did n't prove to be cost- effective . michael : mm . did you happen to cross paths with marco annicelli when he was in town ? paul : not that i was aware of no . michael : and the warden , mr. santiago -- ever meet him ? paul : no . michael : and yet you stated that this photograph clearly shows my client with the warden and marco annicelli . how can you make that claim ? paul : well , i 've known victor newman for years . and the private investigator we hired to do the legwork in lima provided a list of law - enforcement personnel that could identify the other two men . i could produce that list if you would -- michael : no further questions , your honor . judge murray : you may step down . christine : the people call jack abbott . during his opening statement , mr. baldwin introduced the theory that victor newman was operating in self- defense . is there any truth to that ? jack : none whatsoever . christine : so , you were n't behind the paragon virus that was leashed on newman enterprises ? jack : no . that dubious honor belongs to ian ward . i believe he 's serving time for that right now . i was no threat to victor , to his family , or his company . christine : but he still came after you . is that correct ? jack : oh , victor and i have been feuding for decades , ever since i started working in the business world , but he and i have locked horns many times . this time , though , he went too far . christine : so , can you explain to the court why you think victor would commit crimes of this -- michael : alleged crimes , your honor . judge murray : sustained . jack : because he 's a sadist . michael : judge ! judge murray : sustained ! strike that last line of testimony , please . jack : i 'm sorry , your honor . i know no other way to describe a man who had me kidnapped on my honeymoon and then delivered me to the hands of an unstable woman who kept me hostage for weeks on end , away from my family , away from my home . i 'm sure victor took great pleasure in my suffering . christine : mr. abbott , once you got back to genoa city , why did n't you go to the police immediately ? jack : 'cause in my escape ... there was a cargo ship . there was a fire , an explosion , and i thought that i had killed the entire crew . christine : and had you ? jack : no , though victor tried very hard to make me believe i had . he kept insisting that i would face extradition if the truth ever came out . christine : did it ? jack : yes , it did , much later . it turns out none of the crew was killed . all of them survived , all of them made it to shore , and all of them accepted bribes from victor to stay silent , to disappear , to make it seem as though they were dead . christine : why would he do that ? jack : i can only think of one reason -- because he wanted to keep me in line so that i did n't share with the world his crimes . victor : let me ask you something , jack . what ever happened to that hapless , deranged loon after you broke her heart ? what happened to her ? judge murray : mr. newman , unless you 're testifying , i expect you to keep quiet . are we clear ? victor : yes , your honor . we are very clear . thank you . christine : why do n't we go ahead and talk about that -- the woman that captured you ? what has become of her ? jack : her name was kelly andrews . she kept me strapped to a mattress for weeks on end . the only water i got was laced with drugs . she kept food from me for days because i would n't , because i could n't , say what she wanted to hear . christine : that you were still in love with her ? jack : yes , that 's right . christine : what else did kelly do ? jack : she tormented me . she told me my wife was dead -- even showed me newspaper clippings to support it . i had no way of proving that she was wrong . she told me that -- that no one at home was looking for me any longer . it made no sense ... that is , until i made it back to genoa city , and then it made all the sense in the world . christine : because another man had taken your place ? jack : yes , that 's right . christine : how did away ? jack : i told you i was starved and drugged . and i was n't in my right mind , and i was blacking out , and one morning , i woke up , and ... kelly was lying dead next to me , that i was responsible for her death . christine : no one has pressed charges for this , correct -- not here or overseas ? jack : yes , that 's correct . even the poor woman 's brother is n't pressing charges . christine : i have no further questions for this witness . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? , no questions , your honor , but i do reserve the right to recall this witness at a future time . judge murray : very well . you may step down , mr. abbott . victor : are you serious ? i want you to go after that righteous bastard . michael : be patient , victor . it 's part of my strategy . victor : hell of a strategy you have ! christine : your honor , the people call phyllis abbott . were there moments when you felt there was something a little off with your husband , or the man you believed was your husband ? phyllis : all the time . christine : so , you noticed differences between him and the jack you had known for years . is that correct ? phyllis : yes . christine : can you give us an example ? phyllis : jack abbott has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone i know . marco would blow off work at a drop of a hat . he liked to dress more flamboyantly , and ... he liked spicier food . the list went on . christine : and how did you explain those changes to yourself ? phyllis : i ignored them at first , but , uh , jack was injured in a building collapse . he had a concussion , and i thought maybe that could explain some of the changes in his behavior . christine : but it never occurred to you that another man , an exact look - alike , could have stepped in and taken his place ? phyllis : no . that idea never crossed my mind . christine : how long was marco a part of your life without you being aware of it ? phyllis : he stepped in and started his masquerade on ... my honeymoon . and i thought the man in my bed was the same man that i had known and loved for years . and it was n't until months later that i found out he was a stranger , a sick criminal ... [ voice breaking ] who was having intercourse with me ... [ crying ] who i did not know and i did not give my consent to ... and who violated me repeatedly . and that man ... who is sitting right there did not lift a finger to stop it . he knew what was happening , and he did nothing to stop it ! and i hate you for what you did to me ! judge murray : mrs. abbott . phyllis : and you sit there with your arms crossed and with a smug grin on your face ... michael : objection , your honor ! phyllis : ... like you are above all of us , but you are not ! you think everyone ... judge murray : all right . michael : your honor , please . phyllis : and my daughter -- judge murray : that 's enough ! phyllis : my sweet baby daughter has believed your lies enough to feel sorry for you ! michael : your honor , objection ! phyllis : what more do you want from me ? ! judge murray : order ! phyllis : what more do you want from me ? ! michael : your honor ! christine : no , phyllis . phyllis : and i 'm gon na make you pay ! i 'm gon na make you pay ! you hear me ? ! judge murray : order in the court ! [ bangs gavel ] escort her out , please . order in the court . jack : no . billy : you stay here . this trial is about you . make sure he does n't get away with anything else . victor : you get her back here . put her ass on the stand -- do you understand that ? -- and make her admit that she resurrected paragon for one reason only -- to destroy my company ! michael : weeks after you brought annicelli here . victor : i do n't give a damn ! listen , she is not interested in justice ! she wants revenge ! michael : do you want to make yourself look like more of a monster ? ! victor : she wants revenge ! michael : and by the looks on the faces of the jury , she just might get it ! summer : mom , you need to calm down before someone gets hurt , okay ? the way that you looked at grandpa looked like you were gon na kill him . phyllis : [ sobs ] [ crying ] your grandfather has killed so many people . he is responsible . i ca n't even believe that you 're defending him . summer : yes , grandpa has made a lot of mistakes , but right now , you are the one lashing out all over the place . phyllis : please just go . you 're just -- you 're ripping my heart out right now . just go . summer : mom . mom , do n't you understand that i am worried about you right now ? phyllis : [ muttering ] christine : i know how difficult it must be to testify against your own father . adam : yeah , difficult -- `` difficult 's `` an understatement . victoria : it 's complete and utter hell . nick : it has to be done . abby : i love dad so much , which is , uh , why i 'm doing this . noah : it 's rare when our family agrees on anything , but this time it 's unanimous . my grandfather crossed the line . what he did was wrong . nick : immoral . victoria : sickening . adam : criminal . christine : what do you think of your father 's argument that he was acting in self - defense ? nick : i have no clue what was going on inside my dad 's head . but after seeing him in action so many times , my guess would be , no , it was n't self - defense . noah : my grandfather has an ulterior motive for everything , especially when it comes to the abbotts . abby : dad believes it was self - defense , so , uh , he gets sincerity points , right ? adam : paragon was a threat . no one knows that fact better than i do . i think it was a bit of a stretch to assume that jack abbott was behind it , but ... maybe if my father had n't have latched on to that idea , he would have handled things a little differently . christine : you were the one who finally turned your father in to the police . is n't that right ? victoria : it 's one of the hardest things that i 've ever had to do in my life , but ... my father really left me no choice . when he put me on the spot in front of the chief of police , who 's one of our lifelong friends , and asked me to lie for him ... i guess that 's finally what opened my eyes . christine : how would you characterize your relationship with victor ? adam : i would say , um ... i would say , `` complicated . `` christine : can you be more specific ? adam : adversarial at times . he , uh -- he rather enjoys keeping me off balance . just when you start to feel secure or safe , he pulls the rug out . christine : why ? to teach you something ? adam : i do n't know . maybe . sure . look , i -- i 've spent my entire life trying to be my father 's son . but i 'm done with that , you know ? once i found out what he did to jack abbott , it disgusted me . victor : you are a pathological liar ! you concocted this scheme ! michael : stop . victor : you 're behind all of this ! judge murray : order ! order ! you keep it up , and you 'll be back in your cell , watching on closed - circuit tv . adam : dad , you brought yourself down . you understand that ? not me -- you . i wash my hands of you for good . christine : if you could say one thing to your father in the wake of all of this -- michael : objection ! irrelevant ! judge murray : overruled . nick : do n't make me or anyone else in this family your excuse to ever hurt people again , because jack and phyllis were n't the only victims here . once you brought that drug dealer in to our lives , you put us all in danger , dad . people were killed -- people we loved . and one way or another , it has to stop . billy : phyllis . phyllis : i ca n't be in the same room with him . [ voice breaking ] i ca n't breathe . billy : it 's okay . you 're a phyllis : [ crying ] i 'm such a mess . billy : i know . you 're entitled . phyllis : he 's brainwashed my daughter . she thinks i 'm the problem . she feels sorry for him . how can you believe this is even happening ? billy : she 's young . she 's young , but she 's got a big heart . she 's smart , just like her mom , okay ? she 's gon na figure him out . everybody does . phyllis : that 's not even the worst of it . me sitting there on the stand -- i was so weak ! oh , my god ! i was so weak ! billy : listen , do n't say that , okay ? you are not weak . you just proved it in there . you are stronger than marco annicelli and victor newman could you 're gon na come out of this a winner . i know you are . i can feel it . michael : no further questions , your honor . judge murray : you may step down . thank you . nick : thank you . christine : the people call nicole newman . christine : we 've heard a lot about the ongoing feud between your husband and the abbotts , specifically jack . to the best of your recollection , when did this start ? nikki : oh , it 's been decades -- 30 years , at least ? christine : and how would you characterize their relationship at this point ? nikki : bitter rivals , and that 's on a good day . christine : so it 's only natural that victor would assume that some outside threat may have come from jack ? nikki : i ca n't really say that jack is a saint , but he was n't behind paragon , and even if he had been , he did n't deserve this . michael : objection ! judge murray : sustained . stick to the facts , ms . williams . christine : well , is it a fact that your husband has a history of bending the law or even breaking it ... michael : objection ! christine : ... if it suits his purpose . judge murray : ms. williams . christine : i 'll rephrase . nikki : actually , i 'd like to answer that , if i may . judge murray : well , i 'll allow it . go ahead . nikki : my husband is a very famous man . anybody who watches tv or reads a newspaper is aware of all his scrapes with the law . and there 's a good reason for that . if you ask victor , he would say that others resent his success . christine : and what would the real reason be ? nikki : victor has no respect for authority . he has his own code . he has his own set of rules , rules that i have been forced to adhere to over these years if i had a prayer of making my marriage work . christine : but the laws of this state govern here today , the laws your husband has broken . would you agree with that statement ? nikki : without question . i wish that things were different . i have prayed that victor would learn to trust the authorities and stop taking matters into his own hands , serving as judge , jury , and executioner all sometimes on nothing more than a whim . i have tried to beat this into him over and over , but -- christine : is that why you 're here today , testifying against your husband , when you could have legally refused to do so ? nikki : actions have consequences . and maybe it will take something drastic , like -- like going to prison , to finally hammer that into his head . victor , you have been the love of my life . [ voice breaking ] but i do n't know you anymore . christine : no further questions . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? michael : as with the other witnesses , i reserve the right to recall . judge murray : so noted . you 're excused , mrs. newman . victor : are you mad ? michael : victor , i promise you , when the time is right , we 'll go after her . victor : you bet i will . judge murray : call your next witness , counsel . christine : the state rests , your honor . judge murray : fine . then we 'll take a short recess before we hear from the defense . victor : what the hell is this strategy of yours ? so far , it stinks to high heaven . michael : the jury just heard a bunch of crybabies . victor : the jury has also been presented with a bunch of hard facts by paul williams . you did n't even question him . michael : we 're about to present our own case . we 're gon na call our own witnesses . victor : who are you gon na call first ? michael : by the time i 'm finished , the jury 's gon na understand every single decision you have made , and they will acquit you in record time . victor : who will you call first ? michael : i 'm gon na call summer . i 'm gon na call summer . i 'm very sure that she 's gon na turn the tide in your favor . victor : no , you will not . you will call luca santori . michael : why ? victor : because i said so . and this is ... what you will ask him . luca : what happened between you and your mother out there ? summer : i do n't really want to talk about that . luca : all right . well , you 're gon na give me no choice . i 'll have to be the strong , silent type -- the kind with big , broad shoulders for you to rest your weary head . summer : [ chuckles ] luca : [ chuckles ] summer : that 's good to know . judge murray : [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : be seated , please . judge murray : mr. baldwin , you may call your first witness . michael : uh , just a minute , judge , please . are you sure about this ? victor : positive . michael : i do n't like asking a question when i do n't know the answer . victor : luca 's response will be your answer . michael : i do n't like it , victor . victor : i do n't give a damn whether you like it or not . my name is on your retainer check . you got it ? you do as i wish . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? michael : [ clears throat ] the defense would like to recall mr. luca santori . now , mr. santori ... ... i understand you have information regarding this case -- something about the defense that the jury should know . would you please tell us what that is ? luca : the thing that i know , sir , is that you are not representing your client to your utmost ability . in fact , you are deliberately attempting to throw this case . [ spectators murmuring ] nikki : [ crying ] phyllis : sorry i missed your testimony . i heard you were a force to be reckoned with . nikki : oh . well ... i - i do n't feel like any kind of force right now . phyllis : we 've had our battles . but you standing up to victor today in court ... is something i will never forget . nikki : thank you for saying that , phyllis . judge murray : [ banging gavel ] settle down ! billy : you got to get in there . it 's blowing up . judge murray : settle down , or i 'll clear this courtroom ! [ spectators murmuring ] judge murray : these are very serious allegations , mr. santori . luca : i understand that . but they 're true . judge murray : based on what evidence ? luca : i overheard a conversation between mr. baldwin and his wife . judge murray : you were eavesdropping ? luca : not intentionally . judge murray : what was the gist of this conversation ? luca : the defense attorney conspired with his friend , one of the alleged victims , phyllis abbott , to make sure mr. newman gets convicted and goes to jail . judge murray : do you know the penalty for perjury , mr. santori ? luca : i just took an oath before my testimony , judge . i 'm telling the truth . michael : your honor , i 'd like the opportunity -- victor : your honor ... pardon the interruption . i have no choice but to fire my legal counsel , effective immediately . he 's not defending me . he has n't even cross - examined any of the witnesses . he says it 's a strategy . i now know ... what that strategy 's all about . and this comes from a man i used to call my friend . his loyalties obviously are resting with other people , not with me . judge murray : well , if these allegations prove to be true , you could lose your license and never practice law again , mr. baldwin . michael : i 'm aware of that , your honor . judge murray : then i 'm going to grant mr. newman ample time to find a new attorney . i presume the district attorney has no objections ? christine : none , your honor . judge murray : very well , then . court is adjourned till 10 : 00 a.m. next monday , at which time i expect that the defendant will have secured an attorney to represent himself in this situation . victor : your honor , if you do n't mind , i do n't need a postponement . i do n't intend to hire another lawyer . i intend to serve as my own counsel . and as such , i will call as my first witness ... victor newman . victoria : this is ridiculous . [ next_on ] luca : what was i supposed to do ? was i gon na lie ? it would be against the law and certainly not honorable . michael : you 're lying right now . christine : brace yourself . victor 's calling you back up on the stand . paul : are you ready ? victor : more than ready . | one by one , people testify against victor , including paul , marisa , phyllis , jack and members of the newman family . michael claims to have no questions for the witnesses but he reserves the right to call them back to the stand . victor does n't understand michael 's strategy . when phyllis takes the stand , she loses control and has to be taken out of the courtroom . outside , she tells summer her heart is breaking because summer is going to testify for victor after what he did to jack and phyllis . during recess , summer tells victor she is n't sure she can believe in him anymore . victor tells her that phyllis is out of control and that people usually get hurt when that happens . he also tells summer that phyllis kidnapped adam but he did n't press charges because he wanted to spare phyllis after having hurt her , which he had no intention of doing . summer takes this all in and worries that phyllis is spiraling downward . victor tells michael to call luca to the stand and ask him what information he has that would be important for the jury to hear . luca tells the court that michael is n't defending victor , that he is losing the case on purpose . victor fires michael and says that he is going to defend himself and his first witness is victor newman . | <s>[INST] michael : my client felt compelled to take action , and i am confident , when all of the evidence is presented , that you will realize he was justified ... and you will vote to acquit . thank you . victor : you 're making it sound as if i kidnap people just for the fun of it -- you know , just because my computer has a bug in it . my family almost perished , almost died , in that fire caused by paragon . michael : it 'll all come out in the testimony . i am laying the groundwork . besides , phyllis ' outburst helped us . it made them all look like a bunch of lunatics over on that side . now , trust me , victor . i 've got this . victor : yeah . makes two of us . judge murray : before we begin hearing from the prosecution , i 'm gon na call for a short recess . michael : excellent . that gives you a chance to change into the suit i brought . victor : not gon na change a damn thing . fine the way i am . michael : what are you doing ? victor : would you kindly take me to the visiting room ? thank you . michael : look , victor , i know you like to call your own shots , but as your attorney , i need to know why you 're not dressed appropriately . victor : you know all you need to know ! lauren : you okay ? michael : mm . mm . ask me when this is all over . lauren : no , i wo n't . come here . nick : summer , i 'm sure that was upsetting for you . luca : i 've been trying to help her through it . summer : um , i know that i 'm supposed to testify , but i have to handle something . luca : summer , summer , you 've been subpoenaed . summer : i know , but the defense wo n't start for a while , so i 'll be back in plenty of time . nick : no , no , no . just hold on a second here . i only have a minute . just want you to know my daughter has been through a lot . if you hurt her in any way ... then i 'm gon na hurt you . chelsea : i can see that this is getting to you . adam : i 'm a little confused , is all . chelsea : confused about what ? adam : michael 's opening statement . it was a bit lackluster , was n't it ? chelsea : yeah , i noticed that , too . adam : yeah . i mean , he 's usually so intense . he just got mopped up by christine , did n't he ? chelsea : maybe phyllis lashing out affected him . adam : maybe . maybe , but if he keeps this up , i do n't see any hope for victor . victor : hi , sweetheart . summer : give me one reason why i should believe in you anymore . victor : where 's this coming from ? why now ? what happened ? summer : i did not want to walk away and desert you like the rest of the family had , but i probably should have , grandpa . victor : why ? summer : the night that you were arrested , i got caught up in everything that you were saying about how awful the world would be for the family without you in it . victor : and , trust me , it 'll prove that i 'm right . summer : no , grandpa . that was all just a fantasy of what might have been , conveniently leaving out all the terrible things that you 've done , so i blocked them out , too . only now am i starting to realize how devastating they all were . i mean , my mom is still wrecked because of what you did to her . victor : sweetheart , i am sorry that i hurt your mom . i did n't mean to do that , all right ? i want to defend my company and my family . summer : grandpa , that is always your excuse , but that is not acceptable this time . victor : wait a minute . i 've got to talk some sense into you . i think your mother must have turned you against me . summer : okay , but everything that my mom said is true . victor : are you forgetting about paragon ? that nearly destroyed my company that i spent a lifetime building up ! our whole family nearly perished in the fire , caused by paragon , by that damn virus ! yes , i went after jack -- mistakenly so . i did n't realize until later that who was responsible for unleashing that virus on our company was adam and ian ward . by the time i realized that , it was too late . your mother was already on a path of destruction . if i were you , i would watch her carefully . i think the signs are all there . summer : wh - what signs ? victor : i am telling you that your mom is about to spin out of control . billy : that little protest with michael -- was that part of the plan ? phyllis : no . jack : then why antagonize the judge publicly ? phyllis : because i could not stand michael defending victor for what he did , and i do not think it 's a bad thing for the judge to see that we are on opposite sides . jack : wait . this is a trial . we 're gon na hear things about victor that none of us want to hear . can you keep calm and quiet until it 's your turn to talk ? if the answer is no , you could be sabotaging your own cause . summer : now you 're worried about my mom ? victor : sweetheart , i hate to tell you this ... but i 've seen your mom like this before , okay ? she becomes very destructive , very unpredictable . summer : destructive ? victor : yeah . you know christine williams , the district attorney , right ? summer : yeah . victor : you know what your mother did ? summer : [ sighs ] victor : she rented a car in order to mow christine down in cold blood . she almost went to prison for it . summer : okay , grandpa . that was a million years ago . victor : it is not an isolated incident . i 'm telling you . i 'm warning you . how do you think she got ahold of pass key ? you know how ? she had adam kidnapped . summer : what ? no . no . no , she did n't . victor : yes . i 'm almost absolutely certain she did . because who has pass key right now ? your mom does . besides , adam always said that he thought that it was a woman behind his abduction . summer : okay . so , if you really think that that 's true , why did n't you have my mom arrested ? victor : why do you think ? summer : be - because you felt guilty about marco and you wanted to spare her . is that -- is that what you 're saying ? victor : that 's what i 'm saying . what i 'm also telling you is that your mother is in a very dangerous state of mind . she 's like a runaway train . she 'll run over anything in her path . judge murray : the prosecution may call its first witness . christine : the people call marisa sierras . marisa : then marco told me that victor was behind the whole scheme . christine : and you believed him ? marisa : marco is smart . he is clever . but were are too many moving pieces . he could not have done something like this on his own . christine : he would want the help of someone who knew jack abbott -- how he talked , how he dressed , what his background was . victor : she is leading the witness . why do n't you object ? michael : we 're just giving her enough rope . christine : did marco tell you what he would get out of the deal ? marisa : well , victor bribed the warden at the prison in peru to release him , and then he paid marco to impersonate jack . christine : in addition to the pay , whatever that may be , marco also got to enjoy jack 's privileged lifestyle and everything that came along with it . is n't that correct ? marisa : yes . christine : your witness . michael : no questions at this time , your honor , but i do reserve the right to recall this witness . judge murray : very well . you may step down . victor : what do you mean ? no cross ? she 's a known liar . you could tear her to shreds . michael : shh . my strategy does not involve badgering ... victor : your strategy ? give me a break . christine : the people call paul williams . next item , people 's exhibit `` r. `` if you could , identify who is in the picture and where it came from . paul : it is a still from a video - surveillance camera at a maximum - security prison outside of lima , peru . it clearly shows victor newman with marco annicelli standing outside the gates . you can also see the car that victor hired to take them to the airport , the plate numbers matching the numbers on the report that were given to us by the limousine company for that evening . christine : who else is in the picture ? paul : well , that would be the prison warden , a man by the name of santiago . we tried to depose him numerous times , but , for some strange reason , he was never available . christine : thank you , chief williams . i 'm done . michael : chief williams , did you travel personally down to lima , peru , to check out the story ? paul : no , i did not . michael : no ? you sent someone else from the department , then ? paul : no . i did n't do that , either . michael : really ? for a case this big ? why is that ? paul : well , i did n't think it was necessary , and it did n't prove to be cost- effective . michael : mm . did you happen to cross paths with marco annicelli when he was in town ? paul : not that i was aware of no . michael : and the warden , mr. santiago -- ever meet him ? paul : no . michael : and yet you stated that this photograph clearly shows my client with the warden and marco annicelli . how can you make that claim ? paul : well , i 've known victor newman for years . and the private investigator we hired to do the legwork in lima provided a list of law - enforcement personnel that could identify the other two men . i could produce that list if you would -- michael : no further questions , your honor . judge murray : you may step down . christine : the people call jack abbott . during his opening statement , mr. baldwin introduced the theory that victor newman was operating in self- defense . is there any truth to that ? jack : none whatsoever . christine : so , you were n't behind the paragon virus that was leashed on newman enterprises ? jack : no . that dubious honor belongs to ian ward . i believe he 's serving time for that right now . i was no threat to victor , to his family , or his company . christine : but he still came after you . is that correct ? jack : oh , victor and i have been feuding for decades , ever since i started working in the business world , but he and i have locked horns many times . this time , though , he went too far . christine : so , can you explain to the court why you think victor would commit crimes of this -- michael : alleged crimes , your honor . judge murray : sustained . jack : because he 's a sadist . michael : judge ! judge murray : sustained ! strike that last line of testimony , please . jack : i 'm sorry , your honor . i know no other way to describe a man who had me kidnapped on my honeymoon and then delivered me to the hands of an unstable woman who kept me hostage for weeks on end , away from my family , away from my home . i 'm sure victor took great pleasure in my suffering . christine : mr. abbott , once you got back to genoa city , why did n't you go to the police immediately ? jack : 'cause in my escape ... there was a cargo ship . there was a fire , an explosion , and i thought that i had killed the entire crew . christine : and had you ? jack : no , though victor tried very hard to make me believe i had . he kept insisting that i would face extradition if the truth ever came out . christine : did it ? jack : yes , it did , much later . it turns out none of the crew was killed . all of them survived , all of them made it to shore , and all of them accepted bribes from victor to stay silent , to disappear , to make it seem as though they were dead . christine : why would he do that ? jack : i can only think of one reason -- because he wanted to keep me in line so that i did n't share with the world his crimes . victor : let me ask you something , jack . what ever happened to that hapless , deranged loon after you broke her heart ? what happened to her ? judge murray : mr. newman , unless you 're testifying , i expect you to keep quiet . are we clear ? victor : yes , your honor . we are very clear . thank you . christine : why do n't we go ahead and talk about that -- the woman that captured you ? what has become of her ? jack : her name was kelly andrews . she kept me strapped to a mattress for weeks on end . the only water i got was laced with drugs . she kept food from me for days because i would n't , because i could n't , say what she wanted to hear . christine : that you were still in love with her ? jack : yes , that 's right . christine : what else did kelly do ? jack : she tormented me . she told me my wife was dead -- even showed me newspaper clippings to support it . i had no way of proving that she was wrong . she told me that -- that no one at home was looking for me any longer . it made no sense ... that is , until i made it back to genoa city , and then it made all the sense in the world . christine : because another man had taken your place ? jack : yes , that 's right . christine : how did away ? jack : i told you i was starved and drugged . and i was n't in my right mind , and i was blacking out , and one morning , i woke up , and ... kelly was lying dead next to me , that i was responsible for her death . christine : no one has pressed charges for this , correct -- not here or overseas ? jack : yes , that 's correct . even the poor woman 's brother is n't pressing charges . christine : i have no further questions for this witness . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? , no questions , your honor , but i do reserve the right to recall this witness at a future time . judge murray : very well . you may step down , mr. abbott . victor : are you serious ? i want you to go after that righteous bastard . michael : be patient , victor . it 's part of my strategy . victor : hell of a strategy you have ! christine : your honor , the people call phyllis abbott . were there moments when you felt there was something a little off with your husband , or the man you believed was your husband ? phyllis : all the time . christine : so , you noticed differences between him and the jack you had known for years . is that correct ? phyllis : yes . christine : can you give us an example ? phyllis : jack abbott has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone i know . marco would blow off work at a drop of a hat . he liked to dress more flamboyantly , and ... he liked spicier food . the list went on . christine : and how did you explain those changes to yourself ? phyllis : i ignored them at first , but , uh , jack was injured in a building collapse . he had a concussion , and i thought maybe that could explain some of the changes in his behavior . christine : but it never occurred to you that another man , an exact look - alike , could have stepped in and taken his place ? phyllis : no . that idea never crossed my mind . christine : how long was marco a part of your life without you being aware of it ? phyllis : he stepped in and started his masquerade on ... my honeymoon . and i thought the man in my bed was the same man that i had known and loved for years . and it was n't until months later that i found out he was a stranger , a sick criminal ... [ voice breaking ] who was having intercourse with me ... [ crying ] who i did not know and i did not give my consent to ... and who violated me repeatedly . and that man ... who is sitting right there did not lift a finger to stop it . he knew what was happening , and he did nothing to stop it ! and i hate you for what you did to me ! judge murray : mrs. abbott . phyllis : and you sit there with your arms crossed and with a smug grin on your face ... michael : objection , your honor ! phyllis : ... like you are above all of us , but you are not ! you think everyone ... judge murray : all right . michael : your honor , please . phyllis : and my daughter -- judge murray : that 's enough ! phyllis : my sweet baby daughter has believed your lies enough to feel sorry for you ! michael : your honor , objection ! phyllis : what more do you want from me ? ! judge murray : order ! phyllis : what more do you want from me ? ! michael : your honor ! christine : no , phyllis . phyllis : and i 'm gon na make you pay ! i 'm gon na make you pay ! you hear me ? ! judge murray : order in the court ! [ bangs gavel ] escort her out , please . order in the court . jack : no . billy : you stay here . this trial is about you . make sure he does n't get away with anything else . victor : you get her back here . put her ass on the stand -- do you understand that ? -- and make her admit that she resurrected paragon for one reason only -- to destroy my company ! michael : weeks after you brought annicelli here . victor : i do n't give a damn ! listen , she is not interested in justice ! she wants revenge ! michael : do you want to make yourself look like more of a monster ? ! victor : she wants revenge ! michael : and by the looks on the faces of the jury , she just might get it ! summer : mom , you need to calm down before someone gets hurt , okay ? the way that you looked at grandpa looked like you were gon na kill him . phyllis : [ sobs ] [ crying ] your grandfather has killed so many people . he is responsible . i ca n't even believe that you 're defending him . summer : yes , grandpa has made a lot of mistakes , but right now , you are the one lashing out all over the place . phyllis : please just go . you 're just -- you 're ripping my heart out right now . just go . summer : mom . mom , do n't you understand that i am worried about you right now ? phyllis : [ muttering ] christine : i know how difficult it must be to testify against your own father . adam : yeah , difficult -- `` difficult 's `` an understatement . victoria : it 's complete and utter hell . nick : it has to be done . abby : i love dad so much , which is , uh , why i 'm doing this . noah : it 's rare when our family agrees on anything , but this time it 's unanimous . my grandfather crossed the line . what he did was wrong . nick : immoral . victoria : sickening . adam : criminal . christine : what do you think of your father 's argument that he was acting in self - defense ? nick : i have no clue what was going on inside my dad 's head . but after seeing him in action so many times , my guess would be , no , it was n't self - defense . noah : my grandfather has an ulterior motive for everything , especially when it comes to the abbotts . abby : dad believes it was self - defense , so , uh , he gets sincerity points , right ? adam : paragon was a threat . no one knows that fact better than i do . i think it was a bit of a stretch to assume that jack abbott was behind it , but ... maybe if my father had n't have latched on to that idea , he would have handled things a little differently . christine : you were the one who finally turned your father in to the police . is n't that right ? victoria : it 's one of the hardest things that i 've ever had to do in my life , but ... my father really left me no choice . when he put me on the spot in front of the chief of police , who 's one of our lifelong friends , and asked me to lie for him ... i guess that 's finally what opened my eyes . christine : how would you characterize your relationship with victor ? adam : i would say , um ... i would say , `` complicated . `` christine : can you be more specific ? adam : adversarial at times . he , uh -- he rather enjoys keeping me off balance . just when you start to feel secure or safe , he pulls the rug out . christine : why ? to teach you something ? adam : i do n't know . maybe . sure . look , i -- i 've spent my entire life trying to be my father 's son . but i 'm done with that , you know ? once i found out what he did to jack abbott , it disgusted me . victor : you are a pathological liar ! you concocted this scheme ! michael : stop . victor : you 're behind all of this ! judge murray : order ! order ! you keep it up , and you 'll be back in your cell , watching on closed - circuit tv . adam : dad , you brought yourself down . you understand that ? not me -- you . i wash my hands of you for good . christine : if you could say one thing to your father in the wake of all of this -- michael : objection ! irrelevant ! judge murray : overruled . nick : do n't make me or anyone else in this family your excuse to ever hurt people again , because jack and phyllis were n't the only victims here . once you brought that drug dealer in to our lives , you put us all in danger , dad . people were killed -- people we loved . and one way or another , it has to stop . billy : phyllis . phyllis : i ca n't be in the same room with him . [ voice breaking ] i ca n't breathe . billy : it 's okay . you 're a phyllis : [ crying ] i 'm such a mess . billy : i know . you 're entitled . phyllis : he 's brainwashed my daughter . she thinks i 'm the problem . she feels sorry for him . how can you believe this is even happening ? billy : she 's young . she 's young , but she 's got a big heart . she 's smart , just like her mom , okay ? she 's gon na figure him out . everybody does . phyllis : that 's not even the worst of it . me sitting there on the stand -- i was so weak ! oh , my god ! i was so weak ! billy : listen , do n't say that , okay ? you are not weak . you just proved it in there . you are stronger than marco annicelli and victor newman could you 're gon na come out of this a winner . i know you are . i can feel it . michael : no further questions , your honor . judge murray : you may step down . thank you . nick : thank you . christine : the people call nicole newman . christine : we 've heard a lot about the ongoing feud between your husband and the abbotts , specifically jack . to the best of your recollection , when did this start ? nikki : oh , it 's been decades -- 30 years , at least ? christine : and how would you characterize their relationship at this point ? nikki : bitter rivals , and that 's on a good day . christine : so it 's only natural that victor would assume that some outside threat may have come from jack ? nikki : i ca n't really say that jack is a saint , but he was n't behind paragon , and even if he had been , he did n't deserve this . michael : objection ! judge murray : sustained . stick to the facts , ms . williams . christine : well , is it a fact that your husband has a history of bending the law or even breaking it ... michael : objection ! christine : ... if it suits his purpose . judge murray : ms. williams . christine : i 'll rephrase . nikki : actually , i 'd like to answer that , if i may . judge murray : well , i 'll allow it . go ahead . nikki : my husband is a very famous man . anybody who watches tv or reads a newspaper is aware of all his scrapes with the law . and there 's a good reason for that . if you ask victor , he would say that others resent his success . christine : and what would the real reason be ? nikki : victor has no respect for authority . he has his own code . he has his own set of rules , rules that i have been forced to adhere to over these years if i had a prayer of making my marriage work . christine : but the laws of this state govern here today , the laws your husband has broken . would you agree with that statement ? nikki : without question . i wish that things were different . i have prayed that victor would learn to trust the authorities and stop taking matters into his own hands , serving as judge , jury , and executioner all sometimes on nothing more than a whim . i have tried to beat this into him over and over , but -- christine : is that why you 're here today , testifying against your husband , when you could have legally refused to do so ? nikki : actions have consequences . and maybe it will take something drastic , like -- like going to prison , to finally hammer that into his head . victor , you have been the love of my life . [ voice breaking ] but i do n't know you anymore . christine : no further questions . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? michael : as with the other witnesses , i reserve the right to recall . judge murray : so noted . you 're excused , mrs. newman . victor : are you mad ? michael : victor , i promise you , when the time is right , we 'll go after her . victor : you bet i will . judge murray : call your next witness , counsel . christine : the state rests , your honor . judge murray : fine . then we 'll take a short recess before we hear from the defense . victor : what the hell is this strategy of yours ? so far , it stinks to high heaven . michael : the jury just heard a bunch of crybabies . victor : the jury has also been presented with a bunch of hard facts by paul williams . you did n't even question him . michael : we 're about to present our own case . we 're gon na call our own witnesses . victor : who are you gon na call first ? michael : by the time i 'm finished , the jury 's gon na understand every single decision you have made , and they will acquit you in record time . victor : who will you call first ? michael : i 'm gon na call summer . i 'm gon na call summer . i 'm very sure that she 's gon na turn the tide in your favor . victor : no , you will not . you will call luca santori . michael : why ? victor : because i said so . and this is ... what you will ask him . luca : what happened between you and your mother out there ? summer : i do n't really want to talk about that . luca : all right . well , you 're gon na give me no choice . i 'll have to be the strong , silent type -- the kind with big , broad shoulders for you to rest your weary head . summer : [ chuckles ] luca : [ chuckles ] summer : that 's good to know . judge murray : [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : be seated , please . judge murray : mr. baldwin , you may call your first witness . michael : uh , just a minute , judge , please . are you sure about this ? victor : positive . michael : i do n't like asking a question when i do n't know the answer . victor : luca 's response will be your answer . michael : i do n't like it , victor . victor : i do n't give a damn whether you like it or not . my name is on your retainer check . you got it ? you do as i wish . judge murray : mr. baldwin ? michael : [ clears throat ] the defense would like to recall mr. luca santori . now , mr. santori ... ... i understand you have information regarding this case -- something about the defense that the jury should know . would you please tell us what that is ? luca : the thing that i know , sir , is that you are not representing your client to your utmost ability . in fact , you are deliberately attempting to throw this case . [ spectators murmuring ] nikki : [ crying ] phyllis : sorry i missed your testimony . i heard you were a force to be reckoned with . nikki : oh . well ... i - i do n't feel like any kind of force right now . phyllis : we 've had our battles . but you standing up to victor today in court ... is something i will never forget . nikki : thank you for saying that , phyllis . judge murray : [ banging gavel ] settle down ! billy : you got to get in there . it 's blowing up . judge murray : settle down , or i 'll clear this courtroom ! [ spectators murmuring ] judge murray : these are very serious allegations , mr. santori . luca : i understand that . but they 're true . judge murray : based on what evidence ? luca : i overheard a conversation between mr. baldwin and his wife . judge murray : you were eavesdropping ? luca : not intentionally . judge murray : what was the gist of this conversation ? luca : the defense attorney conspired with his friend , one of the alleged victims , phyllis abbott , to make sure mr. newman gets convicted and goes to jail . judge murray : do you know the penalty for perjury , mr. santori ? luca : i just took an oath before my testimony , judge . i 'm telling the truth . michael : your honor , i 'd like the opportunity -- victor : your honor ... pardon the interruption . i have no choice but to fire my legal counsel , effective immediately . he 's not defending me . he has n't even cross - examined any of the witnesses . he says it 's a strategy . i now know ... what that strategy 's all about . and this comes from a man i used to call my friend . his loyalties obviously are resting with other people , not with me . judge murray : well , if these allegations prove to be true , you could lose your license and never practice law again , mr. baldwin . michael : i 'm aware of that , your honor . judge murray : then i 'm going to grant mr. newman ample time to find a new attorney . i presume the district attorney has no objections ? christine : none , your honor . judge murray : very well , then . court is adjourned till 10 : 00 a.m. next monday , at which time i expect that the defendant will have secured an attorney to represent himself in this situation . victor : your honor , if you do n't mind , i do n't need a postponement . i do n't intend to hire another lawyer . i intend to serve as my own counsel . and as such , i will call as my first witness ... victor newman . victoria : this is ridiculous . [ next_on ] luca : what was i supposed to do ? was i gon na lie ? it would be against the law and certainly not honorable . michael : you 're lying right now . christine : brace yourself . victor 's calling you back up on the stand . paul : are you ready ? victor : more than ready .Summarize.[/INST]one by one , people testify against victor , including paul , marisa , phyllis , jack and members of the newman family . michael claims to have no questions for the witnesses but he reserves the right to call them back to the stand . victor does n't understand michael 's strategy . when phyllis takes the stand , she loses control and has to be taken out of the courtroom . outside , she tells summer her heart is breaking because summer is going to testify for victor after what he did to jack and phyllis . during recess , summer tells victor she is n't sure she can believe in him anymore . victor tells her that phyllis is out of control and that people usually get hurt when that happens . he also tells summer that phyllis kidnapped adam but he did n't press charges because he wanted to spare phyllis after having hurt her , which he had no intention of doing . summer takes this all in and worries that phyllis is spiraling downward . victor tells michael to call luca to the stand and ask him what information he has that would be important for the jury to hear . luca tells the court that michael is n't defending victor , that he is losing the case on purpose . victor fires michael and says that he is going to defend himself and his first witness is victor newman .</s> | 16,700 |

eric : it 's when our friendship began . i was grieving over you . there were days that were hard . but i knew i had to do what was best for holly . and sarah was there , always . nicole : i 'm sure that was a comfort for you . you know , xander admitted earlier that he had his sights set on sarah and that they had been close once . eric : yeah , well , `` close `` would not be the word that i would use . nicole : well , whatever they were , please tell me she knows that xander is bad news and to keep her distance from him . eric : yeah , i 'm sure she 's pretty aware of that . but , um ... xander and sarah have a very ... well , they have a complicated relationship . xander : you did n't tell eric you 're pregnant ? well , why would n't you ? unless ... is the baby rex 's ? sarah : no . it 's not . xander : well , i doubt it 's some rando that 's the father . i mean , you know , you fell into bed with me , which was ... one of the most delightful experiences of my life , if not the most delightful . not that it did much for my ego when i realized it only happened because -- sarah : okay , just stop ! god ! did it ever occur to you that i do n't need to hear your nonsensical ramblings about me and you and whatever ? i do not want to discuss this with you ! xander : i 'm sorry , truly . that was a bit insensitive of me to go on like that . i realize that now . i suppose i was just trying to distract you ; you know , lift your spirits , in my own ... clumsy way . my apologies . sarah : it 's fine . xander : well ... back to the business at hand . you 've made it clear that it is , indeed , eric 's baby that you 're carrying . and you have n't told him because ... [ sighs ] why did i even wonder ? of course you have n't told him . you 're far too kind and selfless . which is why you would n't want to intrude on his happy reunion with nicole . jj : damn that evil , vindictive -- it had to be eve , mom . making sure she destroys dad 's chance to be happy again ; to remember his love for you ; his kids . mom , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . jennifer : you know , when rolf told me that -- that he re - created the serum , jj , literally , my heart , it -- it just soared , because i had hope . i had so much hope that it was just a matter of time before your dad would just start remembering everything that we shared ... and then we could just be a family again . but now there 's this . i do n't know . eve : i 'm not gon na admit to trashing that lab , because i did n't do it . my god , jack , what do you think i do ? you think i wake up every morning to think , `` oh , my gosh . now , how can i just make jack deveraux 's life miserable again today ? `` please . here 's a newsflash for you . i got better things to do with my time . jack : really ? you got better things to do . eve : yes , i do . jack : like make other people 's lives miserable . because , face it , eve . that 's what you 're really good at : hurting other people . and just so you know ? that -- that -- that little destruction act that you put on was a big waste of time , because that serum ? if rolf created it once , he can make it again , and he will ! eve : oh , said the cockeyed optimist . jack : yes , i am optimistic this time , because jennifer 's there . jennifer 's overseeing the lab . she 's putting it back together -- eve : here we go . queen jennifer . yes , yes , yes . jennifer here to save the world . well , good luck to the both of you . jack : you 're the one that 's gon na need luck . eve : [ scoffs ] jack : it 's a crime . what you did was a crime . i should just drag you in right now and have commissioner grant lock you up . eve : based on what evidence , jack ? huh ? what evidence ? i certainly hope you dusted for fingerprints in that lab . because if you did , you would n't find mine there , because i was n't anywhere near that hospital ! so you go ahead . you just go right ahead and drag me down to the police station . 'cause it 'll give me one more -- one more chance to sue your ass for false arrest . and you know what , jack ? this time , i 'll win ! copd makes it hard to breathe . jack : this is so sad . you are an amazingly bitter woman . i only wish i 'd seen it sooner . eve : [ sighs ] yeah , well , you know what i wish that i 'd seen sooner ? that you are a fool and an ingrate . i hate to disappoint you , jack , because i know you get your jollies giving me a hard time every single day of your life , but i do n't really care whether you get your memory back or not . i do n't , because i could give a rat 's ass about you . jack : as if you ever did ! eve : you know i did , jack . you know i did ! jack : you did -- you only gave a rat 's ass about hurting jennifer . that 's it ! that 's it . and you ca n't stand the thought of her ever being happy for any number of reasons that only make sense in your mind ! because -- because -- i could n't see it . i could n't see it . but she -- she made -- she made brady to see it . she made him see you for the lying , vindictive witch that you are ! eve : well , here 's the truth , jack , whether you believe it or not . i did n't trash that lab . but you 're right about one thing . you certainly are damn right about this . i do n't want to ever see jennifer happy . i don't . because she 's a selfish cow who 's had it in for me since the beginning of time . and i hate her . with every cell of my being . jennifer : jj ... you 're such a comfort to your mom , you know that ? jj : mom , i love you . and i hate that this has been so hard on you . jennifer : it 's been hard on all of us , jj . but a little perspective , right ? jj : okay , what next ? rolf , he can re - create the serum ? make more ? jennifer : i do n't know . hopefully . i mean , i do n't know . he came in here . he was so shaken 'cause the lab was so destroyed , and he disappeared . he 's gone . he said he had to go lie down somewhere . jj : have you checked on him ? jennifer : yes . he 's gone . jj : he 's gone , and you ca n't reach him ? jennifer : no . no . as if this day could get any worse , jj . nicole : wait . are you saying sarah slept with xander ? eric : well , she had just found out that rex cheated on her , and she -- she was hurt , obviously , and ... nicole : well , i understand that , but ... xander ? eric : yeah , well , she regretted it . and ever since , xander 's kind of had a thing for her . nicole : well , i hope sarah sees him for who he really is : a deceitful opportunist . she really needs to stay away from xander . eric : okay , i agree . and i really appreciate you wanting to look out for sarah . but if there 's one thing i learned about sarah , she can handle herself . nicole : yeah , right . i mean , i do n't know her that well , but she does seem really strong . eric : she is . you know , i really like that we 've been able to talk about this , but ... i , um ... i kind of think that 's enough talking for now . nicole : oh . i totally agree . eric : [ laughs ] is something wrong ? nicole : i , um ... i -- i just ca n't help but wonder ... is this where you and ... sarah made love ? sarah : of course i could n't tell eric that i 'm carrying his child . he was just reunited with the love of his life . xander : because , as i said , you 're a great person , sarah . kind and selfless . sarah : and pregnant . which makes me kind of stupid . xander : no . sarah : yes , it does ! my god ! i should 've been more careful . i thought i was . xander : sarah , please . just stop being so hard on yourself . yes , you had deep feelings for eric , and -- and this happened . you did n't mean it to . and i know the timing is -- is bad right now , what with nicole and eric 's reunion , but when the time is right , which i hope will be soon , i just think you 're gon na feel so much better after you 've told him . sarah : no . i won't . who says i have to tell eric anything ?

patrick : [ sighs ] soon as i think i 'm okay , you know , feel like i 'm ready to move on a little bit , whether it 's a date with britt or just , god , a good day in general , something happens and i 'm right back to thinking that i 'm -- i do n't know , maybe she 's still here . i look around the corner to see if she is . elizabeth : libby has very good taste in music . thank you for letting me listen . so , how 's it going ? with you and patrick ? britt : you 're aware we 're dating ? elizabeth : uh , everyone is . hospital is n't exactly known for keeping secrets . britt : does that bother you ? i know that you were close to his wife . elizabeth : robin was one of my closest friends . i miss her . but that does n't mean i do n't want to see patrick happy . britt : i just wish i knew where we stood . i mean , one minute , we 're making progress , and then the next , he 's running the other way . maybe he 's just not into me . elizabeth : i doubt it . britt : okay , then what 's the problem ? elizabeth : his wife died . britt : yeah , almost a year ago . i 'm sorry . did that sound as ugly as i think it did ? elizabeth : just be patient . patrick needs time . britt : or maybe robin was it , you know ? i mean , the only woman for him . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] britt : what ? elizabeth : okay , i just want to say that patrick loved robin deeply , but before he was in love , he was a total player . britt : really ? elizabeth : when he 's ready , i 'd be very surprised if he could resist someone like you . robin : so , why make yourself look like duke ? what does that get you ? faison : your mother . it 's no secret that i 've been in love with her ever since i laid eyes on her . but no matter how hard i tried to prove myself , she insisted on breaking my heart . robin : so you 're impersonating someone that she did love . faison : inspired , is n't it ? robin : it 's psychotic ! i mean -- you actually think that my mother is gon na fall for that ? faison : yeah . she 's already fallen . anna : mcbain said that you 've enlisted his help , is that right ? sam : what did he tell you ? anna : that jerry jacks was responsible for the release of joe scully from custody in atlantic city . sam : so , they were working together ? anna : do you think they still were at the time your husband was shot ? sam : well , jerry has been presumed dead before . he could have been the second shooter . anna : i do n't disagree with you . sam : good . so we 're on the same page . anna : when it comes to jerry , yes . yes , we are . sam : okay . i have spinelli working on the case , and i think if he can track down the $ 88 million that jerry made off with , it would be really good , because if we -- if we find the money , we find jerry . and if we find jerry , we find jason . anna : all right . this is what we have so far . bernie abrams was shot with two different guns . the first we found at the scene of the crime , and that had joe scully 's prints all over it . the second has n't been identified yet . i do n't believe that it 's jason 's . sam : no , well , of -- of course not . jason has no reason to shoot bernie . anna : plus he used a glock 9 mm . the second bullet came from a gun a totally different make and model . we think it 's foreign , so we 're having difficulty trying to find out any pertinent information . sam : okay , well , forget about the gun . did bernie leave any sort of clue on the message that he left jason ? anna : we listened to it several times , but no . sam : so there 's nothing . anna : there 's something . it might be the key to the case . dante : we jumped on the adoption train pretty quick . we -- we did n't even think about any other options . and it 's perfect , right , 'cause you can conceive , right ? so we -- we mix one of your eggs with my champs , and boom , we have a falconeri zygote ready for implantation . lulu : yeah , in someone else 's uterus . carly : i ca n't believe this is happening . how is this happening ? a.j . : you know what they say . it 's hard to keep a good man down . carly : this morning when we talked , you knew he was alive . michael : i found out last night -- carly : why did n't you tell me ? michael : he told me not to say anything . carly : you know what he 's done . you know you ca n't trust him . a.j . : nothing changes , does it ? you 're still indoctrinating my son against me ! carly : why are n't you dead ? a.j . : you know what ? i do n't owe you a damn thing , and i certainly do n't owe you an explanation ! carly : you 're right . you do n't . but you sure as hell owe the police one . i love how clean my mouth is after a dental cleaning ... elizabeth : i 'll be back . britt : elizabeth , so , what exactly were you saying ? that patrick was sleeping around or -- elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay . the first time robin met patrick , he was , um -- doing it with a nurse . britt : in the hospital ? elizabeth : he was a resident in atlanta , and robin flew in for a conference and walked into a supposedly empty o.r . room , and there was patrick and the nurse in all their glory . britt : wow . honestly , i - i can not believe it . elizabeth : yeah , but patrick did n't care . he was very clear he was n't into commitments . and then robin came along . she changed him . britt : i 'm sorry . if this is too uncomfortable for you -- elizabeth : no . no , no . it 's okay . like i said , i - i miss her . we all do . but i would like to see patrick happy . and you seem to be his type . you 're strong , you 're smart , assertive , confident . britt : [ chuckles ] so , how do i put patrick to get robin behind him and me in front of him -- or over him or under him or something ? [ chuckles ] sabrina : hey . it 's okay to miss your wife , dr. drake , to expect that she should still be here . you know ? she was really young , and she had a lot more to give . patrick : no , you 're right . yeah . it 's not just , you know , emma and me that -- a lot of people lost robin . she was a great doctor . she was an amazing physician . she did so much for h.i.v . and aids . yeah , she was just a great person . sabrina : you know -- you know , actually , um -- emma showed me a photo album of the g.h . nurses ' ball . you know that she thinks that whole thing was a party for her mom . patrick : she does n't put the book down . she actually thinks that it was just for robin . i 'm trying to explain to her it 's for a lot of people , but she 's -- she 's not buying it . sabrina : well , she 's -- she 's really proud of her mom . and she should be . you know ? those parties looked like a lot of fun . patrick : yeah , they stopped before i got here , but they did look like they were pretty extravagant , did n't they ? sabrina : yeah . um , so elizabeth said that they -- they -- they lost funding for it and that 's why they stopped doing it , but i was thinking that maybe if i found a way to raise money for it , maybe we could bring it back . unless you think that 's a bad idea . robin : you may think that my mother is buying your act , but she will see right through you . faison : i do n't think , robin . i know . robin : that 's just impossible . nothing gets past anna devane . ever . faison : well , perhaps , before you `` died . `` losing you left her vulnerable , much softer than i 've ever seen her . and my little impersonation was nothing short of brilliant . robin : well , it is only a matter of time before she realizes that you 're not duke . faison : well , i admit she was a little resistant at the start , but , you know , i 've begun to win her over . we even tangoed . and true enough , she thought she was dancing with duke , but i do n't give a damn because it was my body she held next to hers , my sweet breath -- robin : it was not your anything ! my mother is not in love with you ! she 's in love with duke ! faison : i do n't care . as long as i get anna . anna : so , the day after the shooting , detective falconeri and myself , we were down at the pier . we were , you know , discussing the case , and we heard a noise , and it was clear that someone had been listening in . sam : i take it you did n't find the other person . anna : no . we did n't . but we found something . it 's a piece of fabric , expensive , that could have come from a jacket or a scarf or something . so we 're analyzing a strand of hair that we recovered . sam : human hair ? anna : yes . it certainly looks that way . i 'm actually waiting on results right now . lulu : [ sighs ] dante : talk to me . lulu : i know that surrogacy is common , and i am grateful that it 's an option , but someone else carrying our child ? dante : what ? lulu : i just do n't know if i like it . carly : if you had lived , you 'd be in prison . i say we pick up where you left off . monica : a.j . ! a.j . : mom , if you 're here to warn me about carly , i 'd say it 's a little bit late . monica : [ sighs ] i see that . a.j . : she 's about to call the police . monica : carly , please do n't do that . carly : you knew this son of a bitch was out there the whole time , the bastard who kidnapped my son , and you did n't say a word ? ! because you knew jason would find him and make him pay ! monica : i wanted to protect my son . carly : i had jason to protect my son , but now he 's gone . is that what you were waiting for ? for jason to die so you could bring this monster back ? monica : i never , ever wanted jason to die ! carly : a.j . sure as the hell did ! a.j . : okay , that 's a lie ! carly : no , it 's not ! i was there ! michael was there ! we saw you ! you shot alan , and you were gon na shoot jason , except he stopped you , just like i 'm gon na stop you right now . michael : mom , please do n't call the cops on a.j . yet . for me . i 'm done ! carly : look at me . do you remember the kidnapping ? a.j . hired faith roscoe to kidnap you , morgan , and kristina , okay ? it almost killed your father and i . a.j . : wait a second . let 's get this straight . i 'm his father . carly : you are nothing ! a.j . kidnapped you . he faked your death . he took a picture of you lying in a swamp , and we thought you were dead . if jason did n't go after you , we may never have seen you again . michael : i know a.j . was wrong . carly : he was n't just wrong , michael . he 's evil ! the man is evil ! and he did n't just want to take you away from us ! he wanted you to hate us , especially me and your father , and he still does . monica : whatever a.j . did was because you and sonny drove him to it . a.j . : you stole my son ! you never even gave me a chance with him , carly ! carly : i saved michael , and i will do it again . michael : mom , it 's not that simple ! you ca n't just decide that you 're saving me ! look , however bad it got , you 're the one who put that in motion ! a.j . : thank you , son . michael : i understand why my mom ca n't forgive you , and i 'm not sure i will , either . but that 's the thing , though , mom , is i 'm not sure of anything , okay ? and i - i ca n't figure it out if a.j . 's behind bars . carly : he belongs there . michael : i 'm just asking for some time . just let him stay here . do n't call the cops yet . please . not -- not -- not for him , okay ? just -- for me . carly : [ sniffles ] michael , god -- everything i 've done , good or bad , i 've done it because i thought it was best for you . and i will do anything for you . anything . but not this . lulu : i guess i 'm just having trouble shifting gears . i was so set on adoption . dante : i know . i know . it 's -- it 's weird to think that , you know , someone else could be carrying our baby . lulu : yeah , it 's definitely weird . who wants to do that ? give up nine months of their life so that we can be a family ? dante : a person with a good heart . hopefully a good womb . lulu : yeah , but they get to experience everything , like life growing inside of them and -- our baby 's first kicks . and what i am gon na do ? just walk around and go about my business ? dante : yeah . and you get to experience everything else . raising a child . our child , lulu . yours and mine . [ cell phone ringing ] lulu : you should get that . could be the station . dante : [ sighs ] falconeri . carly : this is carly . i need you to get to the quartermaines as soon as you can . dante : uh , sure . what 's up ? carly : a.j . quartermaine 's alive . dante : are you serious ? carly : yep . i 'm looking right at him . just get here . monica : run , a.j . hurry ! we do n't have time ! anna : thank you . sam : it has to be jerry . he has to be the one who 's holding jason . anna : no . sorry . sam : sorry ? why ? what does it say ? anna : well , the dna does n't match . the hair did not come from jerry jacks . sam : okay . who does it belong to ? robin : duke has been dead for over two decades . faison : thanks , god . robin : so he could n't have told you about his time with my mother so you could fake those memories . so -- how the hell did you find out ? faison : i have my methods . and they seem to panned out . and , of course , a little money does n't hurt , either . do you have any idea what it costs to become another person ? robin : no . faison : a mask , prosthetics , add to that a voice and a movement coach . let 's just say it was quite a challenge turning myself into whatever his name is . what -- what is it ? duke . duke . but it 's worth it . my little plan is coming to fruition . except for one little thing , robin . you . britt : do you think patrick 's ready ? elizabeth : i think going out with you is a major step . britt : well , like i said , it has been close to a year , and that is a long time for a man to go without . especially if patrick 's appetite was as big as you suggest -- libby : doctor ? britt : -- he is bound to be starving for what i have to offer . libby : doctor ? britt : what is it , libby ? libby : [ vomits ] britt : [ gasps ] patrick : it 's a very decent thing that you want to do . i just -- i do n't know why . i mean , you did n't know robin . sabrina : oh , i -- she just -- she just had such a huge influence on so many people here . and seeing the way that you and emma loved her , i just -- it 's obvious what she meant to you . and i do n't know . i just thought maybe bringing back the nurses ' ball could be like a tribute to robin . maybe help you and emma miss her a little less . patrick : thank you . that 's -- britt : sorry to interrupt , but i am covered in puke . [ sighs ] robin : so , how do i fit into your master plan ? faison : what do you mean , fit in ? you 're the most important element . i took you away from anna , kept you hidden , and with the only goal to bring you back to her . robin : so you could be the hero . faison : absolutely . could you think of anything that would have a bigger impact than me bringing you back to anna ? that will make her love me forever . robin : well , i certainly hope you have a plan `` b , `` because whoever walked you through duke 's memories lied . they fed you bogus information about me . faison : well -- if she realizes i 'm not duke -- then ... then you 're in trouble . robin : and you 're threatening me ? faison : no , i would never threaten you . but you could have played along , and had you done so , you would have been on your way back to your family by now ! but it ai n't gon na happen , is it ? ! robin : yes , it will . dante : i - i should go , right , check this out . but while i 'm gone -- lulu : i 'll think about our conversation . dante : yeah ? lulu : mm - hmm . a little research wo n't hurt , so i 'll do it . dante : this could be -- the answer we 're looking for . make little rocko a reality . lulu : okay . i 'll see you when you get home . dante : i love you . lulu : i love you . dante : good . [ door opens ] dante : hey . i promise you , someway , somehow , we will have a family . lulu : i know . [ door closes ] lulu : okay , surrogacy . see what you 're about . carly : you 're gon na hit me when you 've been protecting that monster ? ! a.j . : listen to me . i 'm not running . michael : would you rather end up in prison ? carly : that 's where you belong ! a.j . : michael , i 've been away from my home for too long . i 'm not leaving you , and i 'm not leaving you . i ca n't . i wo n't do it . carly : well , you 're not gon na have a choice . a.j . : michael , listen to me , my entire life you 've been kept away from me . if i have to wind up going to prison , then you know what ? so be it . i 'm tired of running . look , if i get to see you at least once a week behind bars , that 's good enough for me . sam : whose hair is it , commissioner ? anna : god , i wish i could tell you . i ca n't . sam : please do n't pull confidentiality on me . anna : oh , i 'm not doing that . it just does n't match anything in our system . sam : what ? anna : no . i - i 've run it against every dna result on record , and i got nothing . sam : okay , so it could be anyone 's from anywhere . anna : i - i 'm not gon na close this case until i find out who did this to your husband . sam : or until you find jason alive . you know what ? forget it . i 'm gon na find jason myself . anna : sam . sam . can i talk to you , please ? can i talk to you about robin ? faison : i ca n't send you back to port charles . you know who i am . robin : so what ? faison : `` so what `` ? i 'll lose your mother . that 's `` so what `` ! robin : no , you wo n't . i wo n't tell my mother that you 're not duke . i wo n't tell anyone . faison : you do n't expect me to fall for this , do you ? robin : [ sighs ] faison : come on , robin . i expected a little bit more . who do you think i am ? ! some high - flying idiot coming in from the moon ? robin : there 's another way to get my mother to love you . faison : that 's ridiculous . robin : why is it ridiculous ? if you bring me back to my mother , she will be so happy that i 'm alive . she wo n't care that it 's not duke or you or anyone . faison : after what i did to you , put your mother through ? you do n't know your mother . robin : i know my mother . faison : you do n't know your mother . robin : i do . she is forgiving . and once she understands what your intentions are , once i make her understand -- faison : you do n't believe this , do you ? robin : you 've always loved my mother . and she knows that . and all you want is her love in return . and i understand that . that is the reason why i 'm fighting so hard to get home to my family . once i make my mother understand -- and i will -- you 'll be her hero . and you 'll be mine , too . britt : i had a great time at the halloween party . patrick : yeah , uh , me , too . britt : oh , sabrina . wait . sabrina : uh -- oh . what 's this ? britt : scrubs to be cleaned . so , what were , um , you two confabbing about ? sabrina : the nurses ' ball . britt : and what 's that ? sabrina : the hospital used to throw it every year to raise money for h.i.v . research . britt : used to ? patrick : yes , unfortunately , we do n't have enough money to throw fundraisers anymore . britt : well , it 's all for the best , really . i mean , the money 's better spent going directly to the cause . sabrina : actually , the ball always brought in a whole lot more money than anyone ever spent throwing it . and , um , people had fun . not to mention it would be a really great tribute to dr. scorpio - drake . britt : that 's just depressing . i mean , you 're not really interested in that , are you ? patrick : actually , yeah , i am . faison : what guarantee do i have ? robin : you have my word . my word . as anna devane 's daughter , you have my word . i promise you . my mother will love you . we 'll all love you . my little girl will love you . [ sniffles ] all you have to do is take me home . please , faison , just -- [ sniffles ] just take me home . carly : shut up ! great . dante falconeri , that 's a.j . quartermaine . a.j . : pleasure . dante : yeah . a.j . : so , i 'm ready . dante : yeah , i checked out your activity up until your , uh , your `` death `` on the way over here . pretty extensive rap sheet . a.j . : yeah . i imagine so . dante : so you know i 'm gon na have to arrest you . michael : no , you do n't . look , we need time to figure things out . you can just say when you got here , a.j . was gone . dante : no , i got to take him in , michael . michael : i 'm sorry . a.j . : hey , this is not your fault . carly : no , it 's your fault , a.j . all of this is your fault . dante : a.j . quartermaine , you 're under arrest . you have the right to remain silent . if you give up that right to remain silent , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you . anna : i understand the need to believe , because otherwise , they 're gone . and then that 's unthinkable . sam : that -- that is -- that is not true 'cause jason is out there alive . anna : maybe . if he is n't , then you 're setting yourself up for a soul- destroying disappointment . and i know because i 've just been through that . sam : with robin ? anna : yeah . i was given a shred of hope by -- heather , of all people . sam : and you believed her ? anna : i would have believed anything . so i followed it up , and i went to switzerland , and -- of course , it was n't true . and it felt like i 'd lost her all over again . i 'm not trying to get into your business or anything , sam . i 'm really not . i just do n't want you to go through what i did . sam : can i be honest with you ? anna : yeah , of course . sam : i 'm just -- i 'm really surprised that we 're having this conversation right now . anna : why ? sam : you recently found out that your husband was alive , right ? anna : mm - hmm . sam : if that 's not a lesson to always hold on to hope no matter what the odds are -- i do n't know what is . faison : you paint such a pretty picture , robin . robin : but that 's the thing . it -- it can be more than a picture . it can be real . look , all you have to do is give me time with my mother , just time to explain everything to her , time to make things right . faison : for anna to love me as i am ? robin : yes . the man that went to such extremes just to be near her again . faison : there 's nothing i would -- want more . robin : i can give that to you . because once my mother understands your intentions -- she 'll have no choice but to love you back . faison : i wish i could , but i ca n't believe that . robin : [ sighs ] patrick : yeah , i had n't thought about it until sabrina brought it up , but i think the nurses ' ball is a great idea for the hospital . and plus it might actually help me and emma a little bit . britt : oh , of course . i - i think it 's a lovely idea . i just wanted to make sure it would n't make things worse for you . patrick : no , i think it will be the opposite , actually . britt : then it sounds like we have a ball to plan . patrick : yeah , now we just got to find the funds . sabrina : yeah , no , i will figure that out . britt : but before you do that , uh , make sure to get those to the laundry . patrick : sabrina . thank you . great idea . sabrina : you 're welcome . patrick : yeah , and , uh , let me know if there 's anything i can do , all right ? britt : do you have time for that ? patrick : i 'll make time . britt : i 'd be happy to pitch in , too . sabrina : tell emma i loved the thank - you note . patrick : i will . britt : thank - you note ? patrick : uh , yes . yes . sabrina popped by with a gift for emma . britt : oh , a - a gift ? was it her birthday ? i did n't know . patrick : no , nothing planned . she just kind of came by without us knowing . britt : speaking of plans -- [ chuckles ] have you made any to spend the night with me ? faison : i 'm making solid progress with anna as is . it would be stupid of me to mess that up . robin : no , no , faison . you can do this . we can -- we can do this . faison : i 'm sorry , robin . but we ca n't . no , we ca n't . robin : so , that 's it , then ? faison : i 'm afraid i got to return to plan `` a , `` so to speak . you know what , robin ? robin : [ sobs ] faison : you made a marvelous fight . it 's beautiful . your mother would be proud of you . do n't worry . robin : so now what ? faison : you 'll have to be more specific . robin : now what happens to me ? lulu : maybe dante 's right . maybe we could do this . a baby of our own . monica : i want to make sure you do n't mistreat my son . carly : i know you 're upset . michael : i asked you to give me a little time . you could n't do that ? you trust me that much ? carly : i do n't trust a.j . , michael . he 's already manipulating you . michael : so , what ? you send him to prison ? carly : he sent himself to prison ! he kidnapped you ! he tried to kill his own father ! michael : and i bludgeoned my stepmother . carly : stop . there 's no comparison . you are nothing like a.j . baby , you are brave and you 're responsible and you 're kind . michael : yeah , well , now we 're gon na have one thing in common . we 're both gon na know how it feels to be locked behind bars . carly : he deserves to be locked up . michael : i would n't wish 20 days in pentonville on my worst enemy . now my own father could spend over 20 years -- carly : he 's not your father ! do n't you say that ! michael : i guess i do n't see it that way anymore . britt : was that too forward ? patrick : no . britt : look -- i just believe in saying what i want , and what i want is you . i - i know it 's not that simple , and i know you still have to talk to emma , but have you had a chance to talk to her ? patrick : no . but she 's spending the night with mac and felicia . britt : tonight ? patrick : so , talking to her is not gon na be an issue . britt : dr. drake , are -- are you inviting me for a sleepover ? patrick : not exactly . but i 'm inviting you to invite me for a sleepover . britt : done . robin : are you going to kill me ? faison : why would you think that ? i 'm not that monster everybody thinks i am . robin : so then you 'll let me go ? please . no ! you ca n't just keep me here ! faison : that 's the beauty of it . i can do exactly that , so please try and behave . robin : you may look like duke and talk like duke , but she will never , ever love you the way that she loved him . faison : well , she wo n't know the difference . robin : oh , yes , she will . because sooner or later , you wo n't be able to hide the ugly , sick person that you really are . and when that happens , you 'll wish that you had listened to me . faison : i 'll have anna 's heart . [ knock on door ] faison : there 's just one loose end i need to tie up .

[ chuckles ] patrick : it 's okay . it 's close quarters . it happens . sabrina : okay . i 'll just -- i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm gon na get out of your hair . patrick : actually , sabrina , wait a second . britt : i 'm sorry you 're not feeling well , libby . elizabeth : yeah . stomach flus are the worst . woman : is that all you think this is ? britt : yeah , i do . i 've already given her something for the nausea . now we got to get you hydrated , okay ? you think you can drink this ? libby : yes . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] if you finish that , i bet you dr. westbourne will let you go home . britt : most definitely . but we need you to go sign those papers at the nurses ' station . we 'll take good care of libby in here . woman : okay . i - i 'll be right outside . thank you . britt : mm - hmm . elizabeth : i can take it from here if you have patients to see . britt : i 'm actually glad to get you alone . i was , uh , hoping to pick your brain . elizabeth : yeah ? about what ? britt : patrick drake . patrick : that is for you . sabrina : what 's this ? patrick : it 's a card from emma for that fabulous birthday gift that you got her . sabrina : oh . [ laughing ] oh ! she really did n't have to do that . patrick : oh , trust me . she wanted to . she loves the stethoscope . she has n't taken it off . she bathes with it . she sleeps with it . she does n't everything with that thing . sabrina : seriously ? patrick : yes . yes . it was a perfect gift , so thank you . it was very nice of you . sabrina : so , how is emma doing ? any more phone calls from robin ? patrick : no . she 's fine . she 's -- she 's more than fine . i wish i could say the same . robin : if you 're not duke lavery , then who are you ? oh -- my god . robin : faison ? faison : you remember me . i 'm flattered . robin : but you 're -- i do n't understand . faison : well , it 's pretty easy to grasp . especially for a young , bright woman as yourself . you know what was n't too smart , though ? escaping . calling your husband . thankfully , your sweet , little daughter answered that call . robin : so you 're the one that 's been keeping me all this time ? what the hell is going on ? faison : is n't it obvious ? duke lavery has n't returned from the dead . i have . patrick : i know it 's not possible that emma was talking to robin on the phone , but it 's just -- sabrina : you 're still wondering who was on the other line . patrick : yeah , it 's just kind of weird , you know ? i 'm sure you 're right . it was probably a telemarketer or a robo call or something . sabrina : well , have you spoken to emma about it ? patrick : no , i have n't . as -- as good as she looks like she 's doing , if she 's having fake phone conversations with robin , i 'm sure she 's having a hard time accepting the fact that she 's gone . sabrina : and what about you ? patrick : [ sighs ] soon as i think i 'm okay , you know , feel like i 'm ready to move on a little bit , whether it 's a date with britt or just , god , a good day in general , something happens and i 'm right back to thinking that i 'm -- i do n't know , maybe she 's still here . i look around the corner to see if she is . elizabeth : libby has very good taste in music . thank you for letting me listen . so , how 's it going ? with you and patrick ? britt : you 're aware we 're dating ? elizabeth : uh , everyone is . hospital is n't exactly known for keeping secrets . britt : does that bother you ? i know that you were close to his wife . elizabeth : robin was one of my closest friends . i miss her . but that does n't mean i do n't want to see patrick happy . britt : i just wish i knew where we stood . i mean , one minute , we 're making progress , and then the next , he 's running the other way . maybe he 's just not into me . elizabeth : i doubt it . britt : okay , then what 's the problem ? elizabeth : his wife died . britt : yeah , almost a year ago . i 'm sorry . did that sound as ugly as i think it did ? elizabeth : just be patient . patrick needs time . britt : or maybe robin was it , you know ? i mean , the only woman for him . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] britt : what ? elizabeth : okay , i just want to say that patrick loved robin deeply , but before he was in love , he was a total player . britt : really ? elizabeth : when he 's ready , i 'd be very surprised if he could resist someone like you . robin : so , why make yourself look like duke ? what does that get you ? faison : your mother . it 's no secret that i 've been in love with her ever since i laid eyes on her . but no matter how hard i tried to prove myself , she insisted on breaking my heart . robin : so you 're impersonating someone that she did love . faison : inspired , is n't it ? robin : it 's psychotic ! i mean -- you actually think that my mother is gon na fall for that ? faison : yeah . she 's already fallen . anna : mcbain said that you 've enlisted his help , is that right ? sam : what did he tell you ? anna : that jerry jacks was responsible for the release of joe scully from custody in atlantic city . sam : so , they were working together ? anna : do you think they still were at the time your husband was shot ? sam : well , jerry has been presumed dead before . he could have been the second shooter . anna : i do n't disagree with you . sam : good . so we 're on the same page . anna : when it comes to jerry , yes . yes , we are . sam : okay . i have spinelli working on the case , and i think if he can track down the $ 88 million that jerry made off with , it would be really good , because if we -- if we find the money , we find jerry . and if we find jerry , we find jason . anna : all right . this is what we have so far . bernie abrams was shot with two different guns . the first we found at the scene of the crime , and that had joe scully 's prints all over it . the second has n't been identified yet . i do n't believe that it 's jason 's . sam : no , well , of -- of course not . jason has no reason to shoot bernie . anna : plus he used a glock 9 mm . the second bullet came from a gun a totally different make and model . we think it 's foreign , so we 're having difficulty trying to find out any pertinent information . sam : okay , well , forget about the gun . did bernie leave any sort of clue on the message that he left jason ? anna : we listened to it several times , but no . sam : so there 's nothing . anna : there 's something . it might be the key to the case . dante : we jumped on the adoption train pretty quick . we -- we did n't even think about any other options . and it 's perfect , right , 'cause you can conceive , right ? so we -- we mix one of your eggs with my champs , and boom , we have a falconeri zygote ready for implantation . lulu : yeah , in someone else 's uterus . carly : i ca n't believe this is happening . how is this happening ? a.j . : you know what they say . it 's hard to keep a good man down . carly : this morning when we talked , you knew he was alive . michael : i found out last night -- carly : why did n't you tell me ? michael : he told me not to say anything . carly : you know what he 's done . you know you ca n't trust him . a.j . : nothing changes , does it ? you 're still indoctrinating my son against me ! carly : why are n't you dead ? a.j . : you know what ? i do n't owe you a damn thing , and i certainly do n't owe you an explanation ! carly : you 're right . you do n't . but you sure as hell owe the police one . i love how clean my mouth is after a dental cleaning ... elizabeth : i 'll be back . britt : elizabeth , so , what exactly were you saying ? that patrick was sleeping around or -- elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay . the first time robin met patrick , he was , um -- doing it with a nurse . britt : in the hospital ? elizabeth : he was a resident in atlanta , and robin flew in for a conference and walked into a supposedly empty o.r . room , and there was patrick and the nurse in all their glory . britt : wow . honestly , i - i can not believe it . elizabeth : yeah , but patrick did n't care . he was very clear he was n't into commitments . and then robin came along . she changed him . britt : i 'm sorry . if this is too uncomfortable for you -- elizabeth : no . no , no . it 's okay . like i said , i - i miss her . we all do . but i would like to see patrick happy . and you seem to be his type . you 're strong , you 're smart , assertive , confident . britt : [ chuckles ] so , how do i put patrick to get robin behind him and me in front of him -- or over him or under him or something ? [ chuckles ] sabrina : hey . it 's okay to miss your wife , dr. drake , to expect that she should still be here . you know ? she was really young , and she had a lot more to give . patrick : no , you 're right . yeah . it 's not just , you know , emma and me that -- a lot of people lost robin . she was a great doctor . she was an amazing physician . she did so much for h.i.v . and aids . yeah , she was just a great person . sabrina : you know -- you know , actually , um -- emma showed me a photo album of the g.h . nurses ' ball . you know that she thinks that whole thing was a party for her mom . patrick : she does n't put the book down . she actually thinks that it was just for robin . i 'm trying to explain to her it 's for a lot of people , but she 's -- she 's not buying it . sabrina : well , she 's -- she 's really proud of her mom . and she should be . you know ? those parties looked like a lot of fun . patrick : yeah , they stopped before i got here , but they did look like they were pretty extravagant , did n't they ? sabrina : yeah . um , so elizabeth said that they -- they -- they lost funding for it and that 's why they stopped doing it , but i was thinking that maybe if i found a way to raise money for it , maybe we could bring it back . unless you think that 's a bad idea . robin : you may think that my mother is buying your act , but she will see right through you . faison : i do n't think , robin . i know . robin : that 's just impossible . nothing gets past anna devane . ever . faison : well , perhaps , before you `` died . `` losing you left her vulnerable , much softer than i 've ever seen her . and my little impersonation was nothing short of brilliant . robin : well , it is only a matter of time before she realizes that you 're not duke . faison : well , i admit she was a little resistant at the start , but , you know , i 've begun to win her over . we even tangoed . and true enough , she thought she was dancing with duke , but i do n't give a damn because it was my body she held next to hers , my sweet breath -- robin : it was not your anything ! my mother is not in love with you ! she 's in love with duke ! faison : i do n't care . as long as i get anna . anna : so , the day after the shooting , detective falconeri and myself , we were down at the pier . we were , you know , discussing the case , and we heard a noise , and it was clear that someone had been listening in . sam : i take it you did n't find the other person . anna : no . we did n't . but we found something . it 's a piece of fabric , expensive , that could have come from a jacket or a scarf or something . so we 're analyzing a strand of hair that we recovered . sam : human hair ? anna : yes . it certainly looks that way . i 'm actually waiting on results right now . lulu : [ sighs ] dante : talk to me . lulu : i know that surrogacy is common , and i am grateful that it 's an option , but someone else carrying our child ? dante : what ? lulu : i just do n't know if i like it . carly : if you had lived , you 'd be in prison . i say we pick up where you left off . monica : a.j . ! a.j . : mom , if you 're here to warn me about carly , i 'd say it 's a little bit late . monica : [ sighs ] i see that . a.j . : she 's about to call the police . monica : carly , please do n't do that . carly : you knew this son of a bitch was out there the whole time , the bastard who kidnapped my son , and you did n't say a word ? ! because you knew jason would find him and make him pay ! monica : i wanted to protect my son . carly : i had jason to protect my son , but now he 's gone . is that what you were waiting for ? for jason to die so you could bring this monster back ? monica : i never , ever wanted jason to die ! carly : a.j . sure as the hell did ! a.j . : okay , that 's a lie ! carly : no , it 's not ! i was there ! michael was there ! we saw you ! you shot alan , and you were gon na shoot jason , except he stopped you , just like i 'm gon na stop you right now . michael : mom , please do n't call the cops on a.j . yet . for me . i 'm done ! carly : look at me . do you remember the kidnapping ? a.j . hired faith roscoe to kidnap you , morgan , and kristina , okay ? it almost killed your father and i . a.j . : wait a second . let 's get this straight . i 'm his father . carly : you are nothing ! a.j . kidnapped you . he faked your death . he took a picture of you lying in a swamp , and we thought you were dead . if jason did n't go after you , we may never have seen you again . michael : i know a.j . was wrong . carly : he was n't just wrong , michael . he 's evil ! the man is evil ! and he did n't just want to take you away from us ! he wanted you to hate us , especially me and your father , and he still does . monica : whatever a.j . did was because you and sonny drove him to it . a.j . : you stole my son ! you never even gave me a chance with him , carly ! carly : i saved michael , and i will do it again . michael : mom , it 's not that simple ! you ca n't just decide that you 're saving me ! look , however bad it got , you 're the one who put that in motion ! a.j . : thank you , son . michael : i understand why my mom ca n't forgive you , and i 'm not sure i will , either . but that 's the thing , though , mom , is i 'm not sure of anything , okay ? and i - i ca n't figure it out if a.j . 's behind bars . carly : he belongs there . michael : i 'm just asking for some time . just let him stay here . do n't call the cops yet . please . not -- not -- not for him , okay ? just -- for me . carly : [ sniffles ] michael , god -- everything i 've done , good or bad , i 've done it because i thought it was best for you . and i will do anything for you . anything . but not this . lulu : i guess i 'm just having trouble shifting gears . i was so set on adoption . dante : i know . i know . it 's -- it 's weird to think that , you know , someone else could be carrying our baby . lulu : yeah , it 's definitely weird . who wants to do that ? give up nine months of their life so that we can be a family ? dante : a person with a good heart . hopefully a good womb . lulu : yeah , but they get to experience everything , like life growing inside of them and -- our baby 's first kicks . and what i am gon na do ? just walk around and go about my business ? dante : yeah . and you get to experience everything else . raising a child . our child , lulu . yours and mine . [ cell phone ringing ] lulu : you should get that . could be the station . dante : [ sighs ] falconeri . carly : this is carly . i need you to get to the quartermaines as soon as you can . dante : uh , sure . what 's up ? carly : a.j . quartermaine 's alive . dante : are you serious ? carly : yep . i 'm looking right at him . just get here . monica : run , a.j . hurry ! we do n't have time ! anna : thank you . sam : it has to be jerry . he has to be the one who 's holding jason . anna : no . sorry . sam : sorry ? why ? what does it say ? anna : well , the dna does n't match . the hair did not come from jerry jacks . sam : okay . who does it belong to ? robin : duke has been dead for over two decades . faison : thanks , god . robin : so he could n't have told you about his time with my mother so you could fake those memories . so -- how the hell did you find out ? faison : i have my methods . and they seem to panned out . and , of course , a little money does n't hurt , either . do you have any idea what it costs to become another person ? robin : no . faison : a mask , prosthetics , add to that a voice and a movement coach . let 's just say it was quite a challenge turning myself into whatever his name is . what -- what is it ? duke . duke . but it 's worth it . my little plan is coming to fruition . except for one little thing , robin . you . britt : do you think patrick 's ready ? elizabeth : i think going out with you is a major step . britt : well , like i said , it has been close to a year , and that is a long time for a man to go without . especially if patrick 's appetite was as big as you suggest -- libby : doctor ? britt : -- he is bound to be starving for what i have to offer . libby : doctor ? britt : what is it , libby ? libby : [ vomits ] britt : [ gasps ] patrick : it 's a very decent thing that you want to do . i just -- i do n't know why . i mean , you did n't know robin . sabrina : oh , i -- she just -- she just had such a huge influence on so many people here . and seeing the way that you and emma loved her , i just -- it 's obvious what she meant to you . and i do n't know . i just thought maybe bringing back the nurses ' ball could be like a tribute to robin . maybe help you and emma miss her a little less . patrick : thank you . that 's -- britt : sorry to interrupt , but i am covered in puke . [ sighs ] robin : so , how do i fit into your master plan ? faison : what do you mean , fit in ? you 're the most important element . i took you away from anna , kept you hidden , and with the only goal to bring you back to her . robin : so you could be the hero . faison : absolutely . could you think of anything that would have a bigger impact than me bringing you back to anna ? that will make her love me forever . robin : well , i certainly hope you have a plan `` b , `` because whoever walked you through duke 's memories lied . they fed you bogus information about me . faison : well -- if she realizes i 'm not duke -- then ... then you 're in trouble . robin : and you 're threatening me ? faison : no , i would never threaten you . but you could have played along , and had you done so , you would have been on your way back to your family by now ! but it ai n't gon na happen , is it ? ! robin : yes , it will . dante : i - i should go , right , check this out . but while i 'm gone -- lulu : i 'll think about our conversation . dante : yeah ? lulu : mm - hmm . a little research wo n't hurt , so i 'll do it . dante : this could be -- the answer we 're looking for . make little rocko a reality . lulu : okay . i 'll see you when you get home . dante : i love you . lulu : i love you . dante : good . [ door opens ] dante : hey . i promise you , someway , somehow , we will have a family . lulu : i know . [ door closes ] lulu : okay , surrogacy . see what you 're about . carly : you 're gon na hit me when you 've been protecting that monster ? ! a.j . : listen to me . i 'm not running . michael : would you rather end up in prison ? carly : that 's where you belong ! a.j . : michael , i 've been away from my home for too long . i 'm not leaving you , and i 'm not leaving you . i ca n't . i wo n't do it . carly : well , you 're not gon na have a choice . a.j . : michael , listen to me , my entire life you 've been kept away from me . if i have to wind up going to prison , then you know what ? so be it . i 'm tired of running . look , if i get to see you at least once a week behind bars , that 's good enough for me . sam : whose hair is it , commissioner ? anna : god , i wish i could tell you . i ca n't . sam : please do n't pull confidentiality on me . anna : oh , i 'm not doing that . it just does n't match anything in our system . sam : what ? anna : no . i - i 've run it against every dna result on record , and i got nothing . sam : okay , so it could be anyone 's from anywhere . anna : i - i 'm not gon na close this case until i find out who did this to your husband . sam : or until you find jason alive . you know what ? forget it . i 'm gon na find jason myself . anna : sam . sam . can i talk to you , please ? can i talk to you about robin ? faison : i ca n't send you back to port charles . you know who i am . robin : so what ? faison : `` so what `` ? i 'll lose your mother . that 's `` so what `` ! robin : no , you wo n't . i wo n't tell my mother that you 're not duke . i wo n't tell anyone . faison : you do n't expect me to fall for this , do you ? robin : [ sighs ] faison : come on , robin . i expected a little bit more . who do you think i am ? ! some high - flying idiot coming in from the moon ? robin : there 's another way to get my mother to love you . faison : that 's ridiculous . robin : why is it ridiculous ? if you bring me back to my mother , she will be so happy that i 'm alive . she wo n't care that it 's not duke or you or anyone . faison : after what i did to you , put your mother through ? you do n't know your mother . robin : i know my mother . faison : you do n't know your mother . robin : i do . she is forgiving . and once she understands what your intentions are , once i make her understand -- faison : you do n't believe this , do you ? robin : you 've always loved my mother . and she knows that . and all you want is her love in return . and i understand that . that is the reason why i 'm fighting so hard to get home to my family . once i make my mother understand -- and i will -- you 'll be her hero . and you 'll be mine , too . britt : i had a great time at the halloween party . patrick : yeah , uh , me , too . britt : oh , sabrina . wait . sabrina : uh -- oh . what 's this ? britt : scrubs to be cleaned . so , what were , um , you two confabbing about ? sabrina : the nurses ' ball . britt : and what 's that ? sabrina : the hospital used to throw it every year to raise money for h.i.v . research . britt : used to ? patrick : yes , unfortunately , we do n't have enough money to throw fundraisers anymore . britt : well , it 's all for the best , really . i mean , the money 's better spent going directly to the cause . sabrina : actually , the ball always brought in a whole lot more money than anyone ever spent throwing it . and , um , people had fun . not to mention it would be a really great tribute to dr. scorpio - drake . britt : that 's just depressing . i mean , you 're not really interested in that , are you ? patrick : actually , yeah , i am . faison : what guarantee do i have ? robin : you have my word . my word . as anna devane 's daughter , you have my word . i promise you . my mother will love you . we 'll all love you . my little girl will love you . [ sniffles ] all you have to do is take me home . please , faison , just -- [ sniffles ] just take me home . carly : shut up ! great . dante falconeri , that 's a.j . quartermaine . a.j . : pleasure . dante : yeah . a.j . : so , i 'm ready . dante : yeah , i checked out your activity up until your , uh , your `` death `` on the way over here . pretty extensive rap sheet . a.j . : yeah . i imagine so . dante : so you know i 'm gon na have to arrest you . michael : no , you do n't . look , we need time to figure things out . you can just say when you got here , a.j . was gone . dante : no , i got to take him in , michael . michael : i 'm sorry . a.j . : hey , this is not your fault . carly : no , it 's your fault , a.j . all of this is your fault . dante : a.j . quartermaine , you 're under arrest . you have the right to remain silent . if you give up that right to remain silent , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you . anna : i understand the need to believe , because otherwise , they 're gone . and then that 's unthinkable . sam : that -- that is -- that is not true 'cause jason is out there alive . anna : maybe . if he is n't , then you 're setting yourself up for a soul- destroying disappointment . and i know because i 've just been through that . sam : with robin ? anna : yeah . i was given a shred of hope by -- heather , of all people . sam : and you believed her ? anna : i would have believed anything . so i followed it up , and i went to switzerland , and -- of course , it was n't true . and it felt like i 'd lost her all over again . i 'm not trying to get into your business or anything , sam . i 'm really not . i just do n't want you to go through what i did . sam : can i be honest with you ? anna : yeah , of course . sam : i 'm just -- i 'm really surprised that we 're having this conversation right now . anna : why ? sam : you recently found out that your husband was alive , right ? anna : mm - hmm . sam : if that 's not a lesson to always hold on to hope no matter what the odds are -- i do n't know what is . faison : you paint such a pretty picture , robin . robin : but that 's the thing . it -- it can be more than a picture . it can be real . look , all you have to do is give me time with my mother , just time to explain everything to her , time to make things right . faison : for anna to love me as i am ? robin : yes . the man that went to such extremes just to be near her again . faison : there 's nothing i would -- want more . robin : i can give that to you . because once my mother understands your intentions -- she 'll have no choice but to love you back . faison : i wish i could , but i ca n't believe that . robin : [ sighs ] patrick : yeah , i had n't thought about it until sabrina brought it up , but i think the nurses ' ball is a great idea for the hospital . and plus it might actually help me and emma a little bit . britt : oh , of course . i - i think it 's a lovely idea . i just wanted to make sure it would n't make things worse for you . patrick : no , i think it will be the opposite , actually . britt : then it sounds like we have a ball to plan . patrick : yeah , now we just got to find the funds . sabrina : yeah , no , i will figure that out . britt : but before you do that , uh , make sure to get those to the laundry . patrick : sabrina . thank you . great idea . sabrina : you 're welcome . patrick : yeah , and , uh , let me know if there 's anything i can do , all right ? britt : do you have time for that ? patrick : i 'll make time . britt : i 'd be happy to pitch in , too . sabrina : tell emma i loved the thank - you note . patrick : i will . britt : thank - you note ? patrick : uh , yes . yes . sabrina popped by with a gift for emma . britt : oh , a - a gift ? was it her birthday ? i did n't know . patrick : no , nothing planned . she just kind of came by without us knowing . britt : speaking of plans -- [ chuckles ] have you made any to spend the night with me ? faison : i 'm making solid progress with anna as is . it would be stupid of me to mess that up . robin : no , no , faison . you can do this . we can -- we can do this . faison : i 'm sorry , robin . but we ca n't . no , we ca n't . robin : so , that 's it , then ? faison : i 'm afraid i got to return to plan `` a , `` so to speak . you know what , robin ? robin : [ sobs ] faison : you made a marvelous fight . it 's beautiful . your mother would be proud of you . do n't worry . robin : so now what ?

jax : good morning . carly : hmm . have i told you that i loved you today ? jax : yes , i think i remember , around 2 : 00 this morning . carly : really ? jax : mm - hmm . carly : has it been that long ? jax : yeah . michael and morgan : welcome home ! [ scene_break ] emily : thank you , bobbie . yep , i 'll be right there . okay , the baby 's fine . elizabeth 's still listed in critical . nikolas : okay , i 'm going to go back to the hospital . emily : no , no , no , you should stay here and rest . nikolas : emily , lucky needs me . elizabeth is one of my closest friends , too . emily : you flatlined less than 24 hours ago . your heart stopped , you were on a respirator , nikolas . if craig had n't come through with the counteragent -- nikolas : i realize all that , but i 'm -- i 'm fine now , really . emily : lucky knows that you 're thinking about him and you 're praying for elizabeth . just give yourself a chance to recover so that you can give them some real support . okay ? i 'm going to keep you posted on lucky and elizabeth , and i will call you from the hospital . nikolas : okay . all right . goodbye . jerry : the sick and lame will have to wait . i have other plans for you . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps ] lulu : hey . lucky : hey . i was dreaming . everything was fine . we were taking the baby home . [ scene_break ] jason : no , bernie , i 'm not -- look , i 'm not leaving town for any reason , okay , so just send somebody else . how 's elizabeth ? spinelli : all is not well . she has n't awakened yet , and , uh , in private emails -- which , of course , are not private from the jackal -- her doctor thinks the situation is most dire . jason : can -- can you tell me how the -- how the baby is ? spinelli : i can do better than that . you can see the small stone cold one for yourself . [ scene_break ] robin : you look like hell . [ patrick sighs ] patrick : well , you look beautiful as ever . robin : you know what ? on second thought , skip the coffee . just go take a rest ; i 'll take over for you in the lab . patrick : you know what ? i think i got it . robin : you know , craig really slipped up when he left the counteragent with us . patrick : yeah , well , now that we 've got a sample , it 's just a matter of duplication . robin : should i call nikolas ? patrick : no . i think we should wait till we know for sure . there 's something about this that 's just -- it seems too simple . robin : that 's not the adjective i would 've used . patrick : yeah , well , craig does n't make mistakes . he 's got something else planned . [ scene_break ] jerry : we 're going on a business trip today , remember ? nikolas : as i said last night , she 's not going anywhere with you . jerry : well , that 's certainly her choice . but you wo n't get the counteragent , and you most certainly will `` kick the bucket , `` as they say . nikolas : you 're bluffing -- again -- just another way to keep us under control . jerry : do you know what ? i ca n't decide whether you 're arrogant or obtuse , perhaps a little bit of both -- who knows ? because even a lab rat would understand by now -- if you choose door number one , you get zapped . if you choose door number one again -- it defies reason . nikolas : you could 've left last night , but you did n't . so that tells me that you need something badly here in port charles . you took quite a risk coming to the hospital . it would 've been much safer for you just to let me die , do n't you think ? jerry : you 're making this far too complicated . nikolas : which means i 'm probably right . you do n't have to go with him . jerry : well , then door number one it is -- the pain and suffering starts at sundown . nikolas : i 'll go through it every day if it keeps you away from her . jerry : but it does n't -- that 's my point . she keeps running back to you like the loyal little spitfire that she is . there 's no getting rid of her . emily : you love this , do n't you ? torturing nikolas and making me watch ? jerry : well , watching is your choice -- at least for the moment . emily : someday i want you to feel what i did last night , what i felt at the metro court when my father was dying , when nikolas desperately needed my help and there was nothing that i could do for him . that 's what i wish for you -- to stand by helpless when somebody you love desperately needs your help ! [ scene_break ] jax : well , good morning , you two . michael : morning ! carly : wow ! wow . what happened to `` knock before you enter `` ? does that sound familiar ? does that ring a bell , huh ? michael : no , no , it does n't . we missed you . carly : we missed you , too -- that 's why we came back early . but you have to knock first , wait for us to say it 's okay , and then come in . michael : okay . carly : okay . jax : i guess you two have n't been downstairs this morning . michael : no . why ? jax : so you have n't seen the big , black suitcase that 's full of presents ? michael : presents ? have to go ! jax : yep . carly : all right , we 'll be down in a little while ! [ scene_break ] michael : okay , okay . come out , come out . okay , now , we can not tell jax that jerry was here , okay ? we made a promise . okay , now , come on .

[ carly giggles ] [ carly squeals ] [ scene_break ] coop : you all right ? what 's the emergency ? maxie : it 's a caffeine emergency , and that 's the worst kind . coop : it does n't look good for a new cadet to be hanging out here . maxie : what , do you think someone 's going to think you 're working for sonny ? please . anyway , this is the best cappuccino in town . coop : i probably should n't be seen with the police commissioner 's daughter , either . maxie : mac does n't care if we have a cup of coffee together . he just does n't need to know that we 're sleeping together . logan : hey , come on , get a room . maxie : go away ! logan : is sonny around ? maxie : why ? are you going to ask him to give you a job again ? why do n't you give up before you embarrass yourself ? [ scene_break ] jason : i ca n't keep visiting the nursery all the time , but i do need to know that the baby is okay . spinelli : right . okay , your baby , the small stone cold one , is in excellent health , and you can check on him anytime you want . behold . jason : you hacked into the hospital security camera . spinelli : yeah ! nothing is beyond the power of the jackal , especially when it comes to reuniting you with your progeny . jason : could -- could you stop calling him that , please ? spinelli : come on , man , just , like , see for yourself . he 's an icon among babies . oh -- and note that the jackal controls the zoom on the camera , so you can see this small stone cold one in close - up . jason : he -- he does look good , does n't he ? spinelli : yeah . um -- but a security camera does n't compare to being the father in real space and time . the small stone cold one is going to need you if he loses his mom . you 'll have to come forward as the real father . [ scene_break ] lucky : is there any change ? kelly : elizabeth 's blood pressure remains dangerously low , and she 's unresponsive to medication . lucky : there 's got to be something else we can do . kelly : no one 's giving up . we 're doing everything possible .

[ scene_break ] carly : ca n't say i did n't warn you . there 's a big difference between hanging out with the kids and living in the same house with them . jax : we 'll just have to remember to lock the door next time . carly : that is only going to go so far . jax : i can be very adventurous . carly : oh , i ca n't wait . jax : yeah . have you heard from lulu at all ? carly : no , so i 'm hoping that means good news about elizabeth . but lulu was really upset yesterday . jax : well , i 'm sure she 'll call if there 's any change . in the meantime , we 've got two present - crazed kids downstairs , so we better make our way down . carly : do you realize what you 're getting into ? jax : i do . yeah . carly : no second - thoughts ? jax : second - thoughts ? well , for your sake , i hope not .

[ nikolas coughs ] nikolas : yeah . alexis : although , i know that 's not why you asked me here . what is -- what is going on ? is there something wrong with your health ? because you do n't look like you feel well , and i know that you have n't felt well for weeks . nikolas : no , it 's just that i just ca n't seem to get rid of the flu , that 's all . alexis : okay , have you seen a doctor ? nikolas : yes -- patrick and robin are taking care of -- look , i 'd rather not get into details right now , if that 's all right . alexis : okay . all right , i 'll drop the subject . nikolas : thank you . alexis : i 'm just going to tell you that i have 9 - 1 - 1 on speed dial , should you need it . what 's up ? what 's up , nikolas ? nikolas : i 'd like to -- i 'd like to discuss some details in my will . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , so i 've cleared my schedule , we have a lab for the rest of the day . patrick : the idea of spending the rest of the day with you -- even if it is in the lab surrounded by overworked techs -- i 'll take it . robin : we have to stay focused on work . nikolas can not survive another episode like last night . he 's running out of time . [ scene_break ] ric : i heard elizabeth was in i.c.u . lucky : i 'll tell her you stopped by . ric : i was -- i was in the other case , lucky . the nurse said that she was unconscious ? lucky : elizabeth was at home , alone , and she started to bleed . she passed out on the floor . if jason had n't shown up and found her -- ric : jason went to your house ? lucky : he went to check up on elizabeth -- the power was out . ric : that was fortuitous . lucky : i know you have a grudge against jason , but he saved elizabeth and our baby . that should mean something to you . ric : elizabeth and i lost a child . it 's a bond we 'll always have . i 'd like to talk to her , just tell her that there are a lot of people pulling for her . lucky : do n't stay too long . i 'm going to go see my son . [ scene_break ] jason : elizabeth will make it through this . spinelli : elizabeth is not responding to the meds , okay , there 's nothing else they can do . you need to be with your son right now -- holding him while he plays with your hand with his little fingers . you need to be looking down -- jason : it 's -- it 's not that simple , spinelli . spinelli : now is your chance . tell the truth . look , if elizabeth wakes up , no one will blame her . they 'll just be happy she 's alive .

[ maxie scoffs ] logan : hey , lulu , how 's it going ? lulu : great , thanks . maxie : she 's interested . logan : yeah . [ scene_break ] lulu : jason , no matter what has happened , you can not tell anybody that you 're the baby 's father . [ scene_break ] alexis : i want you to note my professional detachment . never mind that you look like you should be at a hospital , and you are seeing a neurosurgeon and a neuropathologist . and now you want your will updated ? nikolas : it 's because of lucky 's baby . alexis : lucky 's baby is a day old .

[ scene_break ] emily : all right . i 'm ready to go to this business meeting . jerry : well , that 's good . you 're a smart and loyal girl . emily : people are going to be wondering why i ducked out of work , especially with elizabeth in such bad shape , so we 're going to have to make this fast -- and i do n't want nikolas to ever find out . [ scene_break ] ric : this is n't fair . you know , there are a lot of people who love you and who have been waiting for this baby . you touch so many lives . and i tried to get you back -- more than once . i planted drugs in lucky 's desk . i wanted to destroy all of your faith in him so that i would have another chance . but faith won out . and believe it or not , i 'm glad , because that 's what you 've given me . i mean , it 's more than just still being in love with you . it 's that faith that you had in me and now you have in lucky . i mean , just knowing that that kind of faith exists in the world -- ric : you know , you and molly are truly the only good people i 've ever let myself get close to . so you got to hang on . because i still need to believe that real love , that true faith is still possible . i promise you i 'll never try to hurt lucky again because i know that you love him . that 's all i want for you , elizabeth , is for you to be happy -- with lucky and cameron . [ scene_break ] lulu : look , i -- i just saw lucky , and he is being so brave and strong , he 's going to make a wonderful father . spinelli : yeah , okay , but stone cold is the real father , so -- lulu : well , it 's too late now ; jason 's already made his choice . spinelli : yeah , the deal was with elizabeth -- lulu : so where does that leave my brother , spinelli ? spinelli : come on , you ca n't expect stone cold to sit around and watch another man raise his child . jason : stop it -- both of you . i 'm sorry i got you involved in this . lulu : jason , i have done everything your way , and now i 'm asking you for the same respect and that you keep your word . jason : i need to talk to lulu alone . spinelli : okay . but just do n't be blinded by her magnificence , okay ?

[ scene_break ] lucky : how 's she doing ? kelly : if she does n't improve very soon , i 'm afraid she wo n't wake up . lucky : well , you do n't know elizabeth . kelly : elizabeth 's a good friend . i know how much she loves you and this baby . i was there through all of it , lucky . i know how hard she 's fighting to be with you now . so let 's go over the test results , consider the options , and decide what to do next . [ scene_break ] spinelli : greetings . epiphany : do n't `` greetings `` me . and do n't make me go get that list that your name is n't on . spinelli : i -- you know , i do n't mean to dispute your indisputable word , but actually it is on the list . epiphany : oh , really ? spinelli : mm - hmm . epiphany : and who approved you this time ? and do n't say dr. ford . spinelli : no , of course not . this time , it was the esteemed pediatrician , dr. o'donnell . epiphany : do you think i do n't understand what you hackers do ? hmm ? i let jason morgan in here before because he helped save this baby 's life . you , on the other hand , have done nothing but annoy me . spinelli : uh -- epiphany : out ! spinelli : aah ! epiphany : before i throw you out . spinelli : okay . blond -- lulu : what are you still doing here ? spinelli : blond one . i 'm honored . lulu : well -- spinelli : um -- look , i 'm just here monitoring the progress of the little stone cold one for his true dad . [ lulu sighs ] lulu : the baby needs my brother . jason made his choice . he needs to stick to it . spinelli : look , it 'd tear my heart -- it tears my heart apart to say this , but i disagree most strongly . lulu : i do n't care . spinelli : it 's our first fight . lulu : spinelli , you 're missing the point . spinelli : no , i 'm -- i 'm going to carry this day in my heart forever . lulu : okay . you 're still wrong . spinelli : yeah , i -- i was wrong -- i was wrong to convince you to keep this terrible secret when your pure and perfect heart wanted to tell the world . but i am not -- look , please , i 'm not wrong now . this is -- it 's jason 's baby , okay ? and despite what happened up to this point , and especially if elizabeth dies , that baby needs his real dad . lulu : huh . [ scene_break ] ric : i visited elizabeth at the hospital today . i understand that you saved her life . i 'm grateful , of course , but i have to wonder -- what were you doing stopping by her house to check on her ? coincidence ? yeah . yeah , there 's been a lot of those , now that i think of it . what are you doing hanging around lucky 's wife ? [ scene_break ] michael : well -- well , jerry came by to say hi to lady jane . jax : really ? michael : yeah . jax : did she seem happy to see him ? michael : yeah . he was really fun . we had a lot of fun . and he was telling us stories about when you were kids . jax : oh , wow . i 'm surprised he came back after the wedding . michael : well , we were n't really supposed to tell you about him because he 's going to come later and surprise you . jax : oh . [ scene_break ] jerry : well , you 're such a fidgety little thing . why do n't you have a glass of this delectable champagne ? emily : no , thank you . jerry : really ? it 's a really good year . it might help you relax . checking your watch every two seconds wo n't get you to nikolas faster -- if he 's lasted that long , that is . [ scene_break ] robin : uh -- i do n't think we should be too hasty . nikolas : huh . too hasty ? i -- robin , i 've been trapped in this nightmare for weeks . i ca n't stand it for one more second . inject me with the counteragent that you developed now . robin : uh -- patrick : well , there 's still time before you get sick . time to make calls , make arrangements . nikolas : calls ? why -- why would i need to do that ? robin : should n't you at least wait until emily gets here ? i mean , she -- she should be with you . nikolas : oh , i get it . this new formula will either save me or kill me , right ? [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeps ] lulu : you look like sleeping beauty . and i 'm the evil stepsister - in - law . i had no right to judge you . after all , i 've been keeping this secret , too , for a long time . and i understand why you could n't tell lucky . and i see how desperately he needs this baby . and you understood all along . so you need to wake up . if you do n't , jason is going to come forward as the father . and that 's going to kill lucky . [ noise ] [ scene_break ] jason : i got nothing to say . ric : well , there 's a surprise . so why do n't you just listen ? because i understand what 's really going on here . you 've always been a little bit in love with elizabeth , have n't you , jason ? i mean , that 's why you slept with her this summer . why you keep hanging around to make sure if she needs any help . so pay attention . elizabeth has moved on . she and lucky are trying to build a life together . now , i understand sam is not the person that you thought she was . and on some level , you ca n't stand to look at her , especially since she slept with me . jason : get out ! ric : elizabeth has made her decision , so i 'm going to say this once . you stay the hell away from her . spinelli : hi . this is the jackal with a live on - scene report on your progeny . [ next_on ] jax : i learned a lot by watching what my older brother did . carly : why are you talking to michael about jerry ? lulu : how long have you been standing there ? ric : what 's so interesting with the computer ? come on ; give it to me , jason . sonny : is there a problem ? | ric visits a comatose elizabeth and confesses all the did to hurt lucky and how much he still loves her , but promises to never try to hurt lucky again . spinelli and lulu continue to pull jason in opposite directions as to what he should do about revealing the truth about the baby . nikolas updates his will . emily goes with craig on his business trip where she goes with him to a bank to establish an account for a large amount of funds he 's expecting and plans to put in his `` fiancee 's `` name , emily quartermaine . thus , she will bear full legal responsibility for all transactions . jax worries that carly 's mild discipline for the boys is too harsh . michael confesses that he and morgan have met jerry . robin and patrick develop a counter - agent , but it may not work ; it may kill nikolas . ric warns jason to stay away from elizabeth , but just as he 's leaving , jason 's computer starts an audio / visual feed of `` the jackal `` reporting on his progeny . ric hears . | <s>[INST] jax : good morning . carly : hmm . have i told you that i loved you today ? jax : yes , i think i remember , around 2 : 00 this morning . carly : really ? jax : mm - hmm . carly : has it been that long ? jax : yeah . michael and morgan : welcome home ! [ scene_break ] emily : thank you , bobbie . yep , i 'll be right there . okay , the baby 's fine . elizabeth 's still listed in critical . nikolas : okay , i 'm going to go back to the hospital . emily : no , no , no , you should stay here and rest . nikolas : emily , lucky needs me . elizabeth is one of my closest friends , too . emily : you flatlined less than 24 hours ago . your heart stopped , you were on a respirator , nikolas . if craig had n't come through with the counteragent -- nikolas : i realize all that , but i 'm -- i 'm fine now , really . emily : lucky knows that you 're thinking about him and you 're praying for elizabeth . just give yourself a chance to recover so that you can give them some real support . okay ? i 'm going to keep you posted on lucky and elizabeth , and i will call you from the hospital . nikolas : okay . all right . goodbye . jerry : the sick and lame will have to wait . i have other plans for you . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps ] lulu : hey . lucky : hey . i was dreaming . everything was fine . we were taking the baby home . [ scene_break ] jason : no , bernie , i 'm not -- look , i 'm not leaving town for any reason , okay , so just send somebody else . how 's elizabeth ? spinelli : all is not well . she has n't awakened yet , and , uh , in private emails -- which , of course , are not private from the jackal -- her doctor thinks the situation is most dire . jason : can -- can you tell me how the -- how the baby is ? spinelli : i can do better than that . you can see the small stone cold one for yourself . [ scene_break ] robin : you look like hell . [ patrick sighs ] patrick : well , you look beautiful as ever . robin : you know what ? on second thought , skip the coffee . just go take a rest ; i 'll take over for you in the lab . patrick : you know what ? i think i got it . robin : you know , craig really slipped up when he left the counteragent with us . patrick : yeah , well , now that we 've got a sample , it 's just a matter of duplication . robin : should i call nikolas ? patrick : no . i think we should wait till we know for sure . there 's something about this that 's just -- it seems too simple . robin : that 's not the adjective i would 've used . patrick : yeah , well , craig does n't make mistakes . he 's got something else planned . [ scene_break ] jerry : we 're going on a business trip today , remember ? nikolas : as i said last night , she 's not going anywhere with you . jerry : well , that 's certainly her choice . but you wo n't get the counteragent , and you most certainly will `` kick the bucket , `` as they say . nikolas : you 're bluffing -- again -- just another way to keep us under control . jerry : do you know what ? i ca n't decide whether you 're arrogant or obtuse , perhaps a little bit of both -- who knows ? because even a lab rat would understand by now -- if you choose door number one , you get zapped . if you choose door number one again -- it defies reason . nikolas : you could 've left last night , but you did n't . so that tells me that you need something badly here in port charles . you took quite a risk coming to the hospital . it would 've been much safer for you just to let me die , do n't you think ? jerry : you 're making this far too complicated . nikolas : which means i 'm probably right . you do n't have to go with him . jerry : well , then door number one it is -- the pain and suffering starts at sundown . nikolas : i 'll go through it every day if it keeps you away from her . jerry : but it does n't -- that 's my point . she keeps running back to you like the loyal little spitfire that she is . there 's no getting rid of her . emily : you love this , do n't you ? torturing nikolas and making me watch ? jerry : well , watching is your choice -- at least for the moment . emily : someday i want you to feel what i did last night , what i felt at the metro court when my father was dying , when nikolas desperately needed my help and there was nothing that i could do for him . that 's what i wish for you -- to stand by helpless when somebody you love desperately needs your help ! [ scene_break ] jax : well , good morning , you two . michael : morning ! carly : wow ! wow . what happened to `` knock before you enter `` ? does that sound familiar ? does that ring a bell , huh ? michael : no , no , it does n't . we missed you . carly : we missed you , too -- that 's why we came back early . but you have to knock first , wait for us to say it 's okay , and then come in . michael : okay . carly : okay . jax : i guess you two have n't been downstairs this morning . michael : no . why ? jax : so you have n't seen the big , black suitcase that 's full of presents ? michael : presents ? have to go ! jax : yep . carly : all right , we 'll be down in a little while !

[ carly giggles ] [ carly squeals ] [ scene_break ] coop : you all right ? what 's the emergency ? maxie : it 's a caffeine emergency , and that 's the worst kind . coop : it does n't look good for a new cadet to be hanging out here . maxie : what , do you think someone 's going to think you 're working for sonny ? please . anyway , this is the best cappuccino in town . coop : i probably should n't be seen with the police commissioner 's daughter , either . maxie : mac does n't care if we have a cup of coffee together . he just does n't need to know that we 're sleeping together . logan : hey , come on , get a room . maxie : go away ! logan : is sonny around ? maxie : why ? are you going to ask him to give you a job again ? why do n't you give up before you embarrass yourself ? [ scene_break ] jason : i ca n't keep visiting the nursery all the time , but i do need to know that the baby is okay . spinelli : right . okay , your baby , the small stone cold one , is in excellent health , and you can check on him anytime you want . behold . jason : you hacked into the hospital security camera . spinelli : yeah ! nothing is beyond the power of the jackal , especially when it comes to reuniting you with your progeny . jason : could -- could you stop calling him that , please ? spinelli : come on , man , just , like , see for yourself . he 's an icon among babies . oh -- and note that the jackal controls the zoom on the camera , so you can see this small stone cold one in close - up . jason : he -- he does look good , does n't he ? spinelli : yeah . um -- but a security camera does n't compare to being the father in real space and time . the small stone cold one is going to need you if he loses his mom . you 'll have to come forward as the real father . [ scene_break ] lucky : is there any change ? kelly : elizabeth 's blood pressure remains dangerously low , and she 's unresponsive to medication . lucky : there 's got to be something else we can do . kelly : no one 's giving up . we 're doing everything possible .

[ scene_break ] carly : ca n't say i did n't warn you . there 's a big difference between hanging out with the kids and living in the same house with them . jax : we 'll just have to remember to lock the door next time . carly : that is only going to go so far . jax : i can be very adventurous . carly : oh , i ca n't wait . jax : yeah . have you heard from lulu at all ? carly : no , so i 'm hoping that means good news about elizabeth . but lulu was really upset yesterday . jax : well , i 'm sure she 'll call if there 's any change . in the meantime , we 've got two present - crazed kids downstairs , so we better make our way down . carly : do you realize what you 're getting into ? jax : i do . yeah . carly : no second - thoughts ? jax : second - thoughts ? well , for your sake , i hope not .

[ nikolas coughs ] nikolas : yeah . alexis : although , i know that 's not why you asked me here . what is -- what is going on ? is there something wrong with your health ? because you do n't look like you feel well , and i know that you have n't felt well for weeks . nikolas : no , it 's just that i just ca n't seem to get rid of the flu , that 's all . alexis : okay , have you seen a doctor ? nikolas : yes -- patrick and robin are taking care of -- look , i 'd rather not get into details right now , if that 's all right . alexis : okay . all right , i 'll drop the subject . nikolas : thank you . alexis : i 'm just going to tell you that i have 9 - 1 - 1 on speed dial , should you need it . what 's up ? what 's up , nikolas ? nikolas : i 'd like to -- i 'd like to discuss some details in my will . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , so i 've cleared my schedule , we have a lab for the rest of the day . patrick : the idea of spending the rest of the day with you -- even if it is in the lab surrounded by overworked techs -- i 'll take it . robin : we have to stay focused on work . nikolas can not survive another episode like last night . he 's running out of time . [ scene_break ] ric : i heard elizabeth was in i.c.u . lucky : i 'll tell her you stopped by . ric : i was -- i was in the other case , lucky . the nurse said that she was unconscious ? lucky : elizabeth was at home , alone , and she started to bleed . she passed out on the floor . if jason had n't shown up and found her -- ric : jason went to your house ? lucky : he went to check up on elizabeth -- the power was out . ric : that was fortuitous . lucky : i know you have a grudge against jason , but he saved elizabeth and our baby . that should mean something to you . ric : elizabeth and i lost a child . it 's a bond we 'll always have . i 'd like to talk to her , just tell her that there are a lot of people pulling for her . lucky : do n't stay too long . i 'm going to go see my son .

[ maxie scoffs ] logan : hey , lulu , how 's it going ? lulu : great , thanks . maxie : she 's interested . logan : yeah . [ scene_break ] lulu : jason , no matter what has happened , you can not tell anybody that you 're the baby 's father . [ scene_break ] alexis : i want you to note my professional detachment . never mind that you look like you should be at a hospital , and you are seeing a neurosurgeon and a neuropathologist . and now you want your will updated ? nikolas : it 's because of lucky 's baby . alexis : lucky 's baby is a day old . [ nikolas sighs ] nikolas : i want to make provisions as i have for kristina , molly , and cameron , and i would also like to make sure that my appointment of emily as spencer 's guardian is airtight and unbreakable . alexis : you never really broke up with emily at all , did you ? and now she knows that you 're probably dying . [ scene_break ] emily : all right . i 'm ready to go to this business meeting . jerry : well , that 's good . you 're a smart and loyal girl . emily : people are going to be wondering why i ducked out of work , especially with elizabeth in such bad shape , so we 're going to have to make this fast -- and i do n't want nikolas to ever find out . [ scene_break ] ric : this is n't fair . you know , there are a lot of people who love you and who have been waiting for this baby . you touch so many lives . and i tried to get you back -- more than once . i planted drugs in lucky 's desk . i wanted to destroy all of your faith in him so that i would have another chance . but faith won out . and believe it or not , i 'm glad , because that 's what you 've given me . i mean , it 's more than just still being in love with you . it 's that faith that you had in me and now you have in lucky . i mean , just knowing that that kind of faith exists in the world -- ric : you know , you and molly are truly the only good people i 've ever let myself get close to . so you got to hang on . because i still need to believe that real love , that true faith is still possible . i promise you i 'll never try to hurt lucky again because i know that you love him . that 's all i want for you , elizabeth , is for you to be happy -- with lucky and cameron . [ scene_break ] lulu : look , i -- i just saw lucky , and he is being so brave and strong , he 's going to make a wonderful father . spinelli : yeah , okay , but stone cold is the real father , so -- lulu : well , it 's too late now ; jason 's already made his choice . spinelli : yeah , the deal was with elizabeth -- lulu : so where does that leave my brother , spinelli ? spinelli : come on , you ca n't expect stone cold to sit around and watch another man raise his child . jason : stop it -- both of you . i 'm sorry i got you involved in this . lulu : jason , i have done everything your way , and now i 'm asking you for the same respect and that you keep your word . jason : i need to talk to lulu alone . spinelli : okay . but just do n't be blinded by her magnificence , okay ?

[ scene_break ] man : a transfer of this size will invite international scrutiny . jerry : oh , we have nothing to hide , do we , my dear ? all you have to do is sign . man : i 'm obligated to inform you , ms. quartermaine , that once you sign , you 'll bear full legal responsibility for all transactions . do you understand ? emily : i do now , yes . [ phone rings ] man : excuse me . hello ? yes , i 'll be there . jerry : of course . emily : nikolas is right . you 're setting me up . jerry : i 'm giving you the opportunity of avoiding a repeat of last night . emily : this transfer is n't legal , is it ? which gives you a hold on me . jerry : if you do n't want to sign , by all means , do n't . i 'm sure nikolas would understand , with the few hours he has left to live . or maybe i could change my mind and give him the counteragent , anyway . it 's all about risk assessment . and i 'm leaving it entirely up to you . [ emily sighs ] jerry : good girl . `` emily quartermaine . `` whoo , i am feeling all warm and tingly , are n't you ? just knowing that our lives and fortunes are forever linked . it 's emotional .

[ scene_break ] logan : so what 's the drill ? we ignore coop because he 's on duty ? maxie : he 's working . is n't that what you 're supposed to be doing ? or do you just like to wear the uniform ? logan : that 's cute . maxie : so do you think lulu even saw you when she bolted out of here without saying goodbye ? logan : i do n't know . she seemed to be upset about something . i wonder what 's bothering her . [ scene_break ] lucky : how 's she doing ? kelly : if she does n't improve very soon , i 'm afraid she wo n't wake up . lucky : well , you do n't know elizabeth . kelly : elizabeth 's a good friend . i know how much she loves you and this baby . i was there through all of it , lucky . i know how hard she 's fighting to be with you now . so let 's go over the test results , consider the options , and decide what to do next .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : the baby needs my brother . jason made his choice . he needs to stick to it . spinelli : look , it 'd tear my heart -- it tears my heart apart to say this , but i disagree most strongly . lulu : i do n't care . spinelli : it 's our first fight . lulu : spinelli , you 're missing the point . spinelli : no , i 'm -- i 'm going to carry this day in my heart forever . lulu : okay . you 're still wrong . spinelli : yeah , i -- i was wrong -- i was wrong to convince you to keep this terrible secret when your pure and perfect heart wanted to tell the world . but i am not -- look , please , i 'm not wrong now . this is -- it 's jason 's baby , okay ? and despite what happened up to this point , and especially if elizabeth dies , that baby needs his real dad . lulu : huh . [ scene_break ] ric : i visited elizabeth at the hospital today . i understand that you saved her life . i 'm grateful , of course , but i have to wonder -- what were you doing stopping by her house to check on her ? coincidence ? yeah . yeah , there 's been a lot of those , now that i think of it . what are you doing hanging around lucky 's wife ? [ scene_break ] michael : well -- well , jerry came by to say hi to lady jane . jax : really ? michael : yeah . jax : did she seem happy to see him ? michael : yeah . he was really fun . we had a lot of fun . and he was telling us stories about when you were kids . jax : oh , wow . i 'm surprised he came back after the wedding . michael : well , we were n't really supposed to tell you about him because he 's going to come later and surprise you . jax : oh . [ scene_break ] jerry : well , you 're such a fidgety little thing . why do n't you have a glass of this delectable champagne ? emily : no , thank you . jerry : really ? it 's a really good year . it might help you relax . checking your watch every two seconds wo n't get you to nikolas faster -- if he 's lasted that long , that is . [ scene_break ] robin : uh -- i do n't think we should be too hasty . nikolas : huh . too hasty ? i -- robin , i 've been trapped in this nightmare for weeks . i ca n't stand it for one more second . inject me with the counteragent that you developed now . robin : uh -- patrick : well , there 's still time before you get sick . time to make calls , make arrangements . nikolas : calls ? why -- why would i need to do that ? robin : should n't you at least wait until emily gets here ? i mean , she -- she should be with you . nikolas : oh , i get it . this new formula will either save me or kill me , right ? [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeps ] lulu : you look like sleeping beauty . and i 'm the evil stepsister - in - law . i had no right to judge you . after all , i 've been keeping this secret , too , for a long time . and i understand why you could n't tell lucky . and i see how desperately he needs this baby . and you understood all along . so you need to wake up . if you do n't , jason is going to come forward as the father . and that 's going to kill lucky . [ noise ] [ scene_break ] jason : i got nothing to say . ric : well , there 's a surprise . so why do n't you just listen ? because i understand what 's really going on here . you 've always been a little bit in love with elizabeth , have n't you , jason ? i mean , that 's why you slept with her this summer . why you keep hanging around to make sure if she needs any help . so pay attention . elizabeth has moved on . she and lucky are trying to build a life together . now , i understand sam is not the person that you thought she was . and on some level , you ca n't stand to look at her , especially since she slept with me . jason : get out ! ric : elizabeth has made her decision , so i 'm going to say this once . you stay the hell away from her . spinelli : hi . this is the jackal with a live on - scene report on your progeny .

'cause that 's what you told me before . obviously you were lying . gabi : no , i 'm not lying , okay ? this is business . we are getting married to protect his job . the board wants to fire him because -- rafe : because he kidnapped two people whom he had locked in his basement . your future husband . gabi : this case hangs on xander cook 's word . those charges are not gon na stick . once i become a dimera by marriage , then i can be ceo and take over stefan 's job until his name is cleared . rafe : oh , ceo . why -- why are you upending your life for him ? hm ? has it slipped your mind that he tried to frame you for andre 's murder ? gabi : trust me , it is has not slipped my mind . what ? rafe : are you falling for him ? gabi : what -- no ! i hate his guts . rafe : right , but you 're willing to throw your life away so that you can save his job . it does not compute . gabi : well , it does to me . rafe : right , it does to you . which means you are either going insane or you are not giving me the entire story and i 'm gon na go with the latter . so you are not leaving here until you come clean with me . brady : i 'm confused . you said you recognized the man in your dream , but now you 're telling me that you do n't know who he is so ... kristen as nicole : hang on . hang on . i ... okay . this is the face i saw . brady : this is either andre or tony dimera . kristen as nicole : that 's why i said i did n't know . brady : well , both of these guys died in the dimera house . nicole , andre -- he 's in the dimera mausoleum and tony is enjoying the afterlife in anna 's pocketbook . kristen as nicole : ugh . come on , brady . everyone thought that rolf and jack and ej were dead , but they were in that place of kristen 's , just like i was . and there were initials on the doors and i think -- i think one of the letters were a.d . brady : tony 's given name is antony , is n't that right ? kristen as nicole : so then it was either him or andre . brady : nicole , look , are you sure this dream was n't just a dream ? or was it a memory ? kristen as nicole : i hope it was a memory . because that means a dimera heir is alive . brady : [ scoffs ] god help us . kristen as nicole : oh , my god , you 're kidding . because if i can track him down and get him to marry me , i will become a member of the family . i wanted more from eli : why would you want me as commissioner ?

maybe you should just try it out . if it does n't work out , you could always go back to being a detective . no harm no foul . but ... if you want the job , it 's yours . abe : eve ! eve ! eve : you ruined my life , jennifer ! abe : leave her alone ! eve : i 'm gon na make her pay ! abe : leave her . stop it . now what 's going on ? eve : oh , abe , i 'm sure jennifer is just dying to tell you . ben : you 're really marrying gabi ? gabi hernandez ? stefan : yes . abe 's on his way to officiate . i 'd like for you to be a witness . you can come too , if you want . ben : why are you doing this ? stefan : to make her a dimera . ben : that does n't answer my question . stefan : right , okay . the ceo of dimera enterprises has to have the family name . if the board decides to give me the boot , gabi will protect my position until my lawyer gets these bogus charges cleared . ciara : okay , well , if it has to be a dimera , then why ca n't it be chad ? stefan : because if i give the job to chad , i 'll never get it back . gabi 's just gon na be a temporary placeholder until my name is cleared . ben : and you really think that the board will hire gabi ? stefan : pretty confident , yeah . i mean , she took a company from nothing and made it a huge success . i think she 'll make a strong case for herself . ciara : yeah . yeah , if gabi 's good at anything , it 's manipulating people . like my cousin abigail for instance . ben : and you , stefan . hey , think about it , man . she hated you not that long ago , and now all the sudden you 're counting on her to hold your job for you by making her your wife ? how is that a good idea ? gabi : look i never said that i was stefan 's biggest fan . but i do know that he 's being railroaded , and i have been there . if he loses his job , i have no idea what happens to me . rafe : well , marrying stefan or anybody named dimera for that matter , is trouble , sis . it 's trouble , okay ? gabi : all right , well , i 've dealt with a lot in my life so i can handle this . rafe : oh ? since when ? gabi : oh , you 're really judging me now ? rafe : what , i just -- i do n't think that you 've thought this whole marriage thing through . at all really -- i mean , what about arianna ? what happens with her ? you really ready for stefan dimera to be her stepfather ? gabi : everything that i do i do for her . rafe : really ? how do you figure ? gabi : i want arianna to have an amazing life . i want her to have dance lessons and music lessons . i want her to have a college education , no loans , okay ? i want her to have the financial stability that you and i never had . my company ... is part of dimera . and if some crazy person takes over for stefan , i could lose everything and so could ari . i really do n't have time to argue with you because i have to get to a wedding actually . rafe : hey , listen to me . just listen . okay ? you 're right . you 're right . you 're an adult . i can not make you do something that you do n't want to do , but i am telling you this right now : this marriage will be a huge mistake .

'cause that 's what you told me before . obviously you were lying . gabi : no , i 'm not lying , okay ? this is business . we are getting married to protect his job . the board wants to fire him because -- rafe : because he kidnapped two people whom he had locked in his basement . your future husband . gabi : this case hangs on xander cook 's word . those charges are not gon na stick . once i become a dimera by marriage , then i can be ceo and take over stefan 's job until his name is cleared . rafe : oh , ceo . why -- why are you upending your life for him ?

kristen as nicole : so then it was either him or andre . brady : nicole , look , are you sure this dream was n't just a dream ? or was it a memory ? kristen as nicole : i hope it was a memory . because that means a dimera heir is alive . brady : [ scoffs ] god help us . kristen as nicole : oh , my god , you 're kidding . because if i can track him down and get him to marry me , i will become a member of the family . i wanted more from eli : why would you want me as commissioner ?

maybe you should just try it out . if it does n't work out , you could always go back to being a detective . no harm no foul . but ... if you want the job , it 's yours . abe : eve ! eve ! eve : you ruined my life , jennifer ! abe : leave her alone ! eve : i 'm gon na make her pay ! abe : leave her . stop it . now what 's going on ? eve : oh , abe , i 'm sure jennifer is just dying to tell you . ben : you 're really marrying gabi ? gabi hernandez ? stefan : yes . abe 's on his way to officiate . i 'd like for you to be a witness . you can come too , if you want . ben : why are you doing this ? stefan : to make her a dimera . ben : that does n't answer my question . stefan : right , okay . the ceo of dimera enterprises has to have the family name . if the board decides to give me the boot , gabi will protect my position until my lawyer gets these bogus charges cleared . ciara : okay , well , if it has to be a dimera , then why ca n't it be chad ? stefan : because if i give the job to chad , i 'll never get it back . gabi 's just gon na be a temporary placeholder until my name is cleared . ben : and you really think that the board will hire gabi ? stefan : pretty confident , yeah . i mean , she took a company from nothing and made it a huge success . i think she 'll make a strong case for herself . ciara : yeah . yeah , if gabi 's good at anything , it 's manipulating people . like my cousin abigail for instance . ben : and you , stefan . hey , think about it , man . she hated you not that long ago , and now all the sudden you 're counting on her to hold your job for you by making her your wife ? how is that a good idea ? gabi : look i never said that i was stefan 's biggest fan . but i do know that he 's being railroaded , and i have been there . if he loses his job , i have no idea what happens to me . rafe : well , marrying stefan or anybody named dimera for that matter , is trouble , sis . it 's trouble , okay ?

[ scene_break ] nick : i was at the police station after lauren was arrested . michael wanted to be there for his wife . victor : that 's neither here nor there . nick : how can you say that ? think about everything you did when you found out mom could go to prison for diane 's death . how can you not understand michael needing to be there for lauren ? victor : son , well before she got into trouble , i asked him to make a phone call . he did n't , okay ? nick : well , did you give him another chance ? victor : you bet i did . i gave him a phone number to call someone higher up in the hierarchy of the s.e.c . again , he blew me off . nick : well , knowing michael the way i do , i 'm sure he was about to pick up the phone once he got word about lauren . victor : she was n't arraigned until the next morning . are you telling me he did n't have ten minutes to make a phone call ? that 's ridiculous . nick : maybe his mind was on other things , dad . victor : it will be for the foreseeable future , son . when you work for me as my counsel , you pay 100 % attention at all times . nick : you know , michael knows this business inside and out . how are you going to replace him ? victor : do n't worry about it . i already made an offer to someone else . nick : to who ? ( knock on door ) victor : come in . hi , avery . avery : hello . victor : i hope you accepted my offer to become my lawyer .

( laughs ) and you know that falling - out he had with sofia ? jack : yeah . ashley : that was just a big scam they cooked up together for her to get into the company so she could spy for him . he led me to believe they were n't even speaking , so there i was , trying to console my husband , thinking he 'd lost his closest friend , and he just played along . he did n't even trust me enough to confide in me . jack : i can see why you 're upset . ashley : ( voice breaking ) sometimes i feel like i do n't even know who he is . and you know what really makes me crazy ? ( normal voice ) he does n't get it , jack . he does n't understand that it 's not okay for him to keep things from his wife . [ scene_break ] genevieve : you promised me . you ca n't back out now . tucker : i believe i just did , and i never promised you anything . genevieve . hmm . you did . you told me that you would always be there for me . do you remember that ? tucker : ( laughs ) ( sighs ) such a long , long time ago . genevieve : yeah . we were just kids , and we had big dreams , and we talked about going out into the world and making our fortunes . but we agreed that , no matter what happened , that we would always be the best of friends . tucker : yeah . and then you ran off and found yourself a rich crime lord . genevieve : ( sighs ) tucker : hmm ? easier to marry a fortune than make one , right ? genevieve : i never stopped thinking about you . tucker : how was i supposed to know that ? as far as i could tell , you became mrs. colin atkinson , settled down in australia , never looked back . [ scene_break ] kyle : see , i do n't know what victor 's gon na have me doing , but whatever it is , i 'm sure i 'll love working at newman . adam : because it 's not jabot and you 'd be upsetting your father ? kyle : ( laughs ) he 'll get over it . adam : listen , i 'm no fan of jack 's , and i know , uh , what 's going down between he and nikki is a little messed up where you 're concerned ... kyle : ( laughs ) adam : but , uh , my father is no prize , either , kyle . kyle : look , i know he and my mom had some issues ... but he 's always been straight with me . adam : your mother was my friend . a lot of people did n't behave too admirably , including myself , where she was concerned . god knows she had her faults , but she loved you very much . i want you to know that she always put you first . kyle : yeah , whereas dad ... ( chuckles ) not so much . adam : well , jack abbott is a self - absorbed guy . he 's got a short attention span , does n't make for good parenting material , but then again , i 'm not so sure my father would elevate your faith in humanity . ( exhales sharply ) uh , who knows ? there 's always a first time for everything , right ? maybe you could have luck with him where i had none . [ scene_break ] ashley : tucker warned me , before we got married ... ( sighs ) that he 'd never been in a committed relationship before , and believe me , it shows . he has this marriage , you know . that 's his personal life , and he 's got his work . that 's his professional life , and he wants to keep them completely separate , nothing his wife needs to be privy to . jack : and yet , you are all in . ashley : ( voice breaking ) am i wrong , jack ? should i not feel betrayed by him ? am i expecting too much from my husband ? jack : a - ash , i - i hate to say it , it -- tucker is sounding more and more like someone else you were married to . ashley : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] victor : for want of a simple phone call from your predecessor , my defensive strategy to save beauty of nature was blown to bits . now the s.e.c . is breathing down my neck , so we have our work cut out for us . avery : well , the ideal solution is to void the original sale . beauty of nature reverts to newman , regardless of where genevieve 's money came from or whether she illegally topped jack 's bid . from your point of view , it 's the least messy outcome . victor : you 're very smart . avery : ( chuckles ) victor : very good . that 's what i 'm hoping for -- a ruling that adam wrongfully sold the company while i was in prison . avery : mm - hmm . a lot of this is gon na depend on genevieve , how she handles questioning from the s.e.c . victor : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . between the two of us , i think the money she used to purchase beauty of nature was tainted , so whatever the s.e.c . decides to do with her is their business , not mine , okay ? [ scene_break ] genevieve : tucker , you 're one of the smartest people i know . can you come up with another solution before i have to face these guys again ?

( laughs ) and you know that falling - out he had with sofia ? jack : yeah . ashley : that was just a big scam they cooked up together for her to get into the company so she could spy for him . he led me to believe they were n't even speaking , so there i was , trying to console my husband , thinking he 'd lost his closest friend , and he just played along . he did n't even trust me enough to confide in me . jack : i can see why you 're upset . ashley : ( voice breaking ) sometimes i feel like i do n't even know who he is . and you know what really makes me crazy ?

[ scene_break ] judge phelps : thank you , mr. winters . i appreciate your input . nick : your honor , if i may , before you go , there is another point that could shed some light on it for us . our father has been making this claim that victoria and i have had very little influence on newman enterprises . michael : excuse me . if the witness is gon na testify to matters unrelated to his brief , he should be deposed . leslie : i do n't agree that that 's necessary . michael : but -- judge phelps : neither do i. mr. winters , there 's really only one question that i have for you . during the period of time you were employed by victor newman , did you ever see him hand over control of the business to nicholas and/or victoria ? neil : yes , many times . it 's a large part of the reason that i finally resigned from my position . i wanted more responsibility . and it became very clear that victor would always prefer to hand the reins to one of his children . victor : you know damn well that i handed no reins to anyone . that 's why you resigned , neil , because you knew i would never cede control . nick : you did cede control over and over again . that is a fact . victoria : no , do n't attack neil for telling the truth . victor : what did you promise him ? neil : now wait a minute , victor . i - i -- victoria : nothing ! that 's your style . victor : you have no business being here ! none whatsoever . leslie : these accusations are outrageous ! michael : this is n't helping . victor , please . victor : this is slander . this is despicable slander . abby : would you guys stop ? stop ! what is wrong with all of you ? will you please tell me that any amount of money is worth this ? judge phelps : all right , ladies and gentlemen , are there any more surprises in store ? mr. baldwin ? michael : no . judge phelps : i 'm calling a short recess , with the emphasis on the word `` short . `` no one should leave this building . i am going to make my ruling very soon . nick : i hate to put you on the spot like that , bud . victoria : gosh , neil . we appreciate your honesty so much . it could n't have been easy . neil : you two do realize that your dad stood by me for a lot of years , you know ? victoria : yeah , well , he 's not against using that , is he ? to try to make you feel obligated . gosh , i wish all the times i 've been in your position , i could have handled it with as much integrity as you just did . neil : i do n't think your dad is gon na see it that way . nick : well , you definitely have our respect . victoria : yeah . neil : thanks . judge phelps : i 've made my decision . victoria : okay . neil : yeah . michael : what 's happened ? neil : the judge is ready to issue his ruling . victor : go ahead . neil : victor , i ca n't say i 'm sorry . but i will say that i hope that you understand one day why i felt the need to take this stand . victor : i will never understand . neil winters , i will never understand . judge phelps : we will begin with a reminder . my ruling will be final and binding , as you all agreed to at the start of this process . regarding adam newman and his sworn confession to forging the trusts at the center of this case , his failure to appear today raises serious doubts as to the validity of that statement . given the additional testimony provided by mr. winters , i intend to recommend that the district attorney look into filing charges of perjury against adam newman . now ... it is unfortunate that you and your family were unable to reach an amicable settlement . i certainly feel the weight of responsibility that places on me to find a just and equitable resolution , and i am aware of the far - reaching impact it will have , both on your personal relationships and on your ongoing business affairs . having immersed myself for months in newman financial statements and forensic accounting reports and having thoroughly reviewed depositions and transcripts of all the discussions we have had , i am prepared to render a decision . in my opinion , the $ 3 billion figure demanded as compensation by the plaintiffs is excessive in the extreme . but while you , sir , are , without a doubt , a masterful businessman , the fact remains the provisions of the trusts were routinely and flagrantly ignored . i therefore find in favor of the complainants , and i am awarding each of them compensation in the amount of $ 500 million for a total sum of $ 1.5 billion . michael : excuse me . victor : what recourse do we have ? michael : recourse ? victor , the ruling is binding . it 's final . victor : i want you to find a loophole . michael : i 'm not sure that 's possible . victor : make it possible . i will not dismantle my company because of these spoiled brats . i wo n't do it . no one beats me . no one beats victor newman .

[ scene_break ] judge phelps : thank you , mr. winters . i appreciate your input . nick : your honor , if i may , before you go , there is another point that could shed some light on it for us . our father has been making this claim that victoria and i have had very little influence on newman enterprises . michael : excuse me . if the witness is gon na testify to matters unrelated to his brief , he should be deposed . leslie : i do n't agree that that 's necessary . michael : but -- judge phelps : neither do i. mr. winters , there 's really only one question that i have for you . during the period of time you were employed by victor newman , did you ever see him hand over control of the business to nicholas and/or victoria ? neil : yes , many times . it 's a large part of the reason that i finally resigned from my position . i wanted more responsibility . and it became very clear that victor would always prefer to hand the reins to one of his children . victor : you know damn well that i handed no reins to anyone . that 's why you resigned , neil , because you knew i would never cede control . nick : you did cede control over and over again . that is a fact . victoria : no , do n't attack neil for telling the truth . victor : what did you promise him ? neil : now wait a minute , victor . i - i -- victoria : nothing ! that 's your style . victor : you have no business being here ! none whatsoever . leslie : these accusations are outrageous ! michael : this is n't helping . victor , please . victor : this is slander . this is despicable slander . abby : would you guys stop ? stop ! what is wrong with all of you ? will you please tell me that any amount of money is worth this ? judge phelps : all right , ladies and gentlemen , are there any more surprises in store ? mr. baldwin ? michael : no . judge phelps : i 'm calling a short recess , with the emphasis on the word `` short . `` no one should leave this building . i am going to make my ruling very soon . nick : i hate to put you on the spot like that , bud . victoria : gosh , neil . we appreciate your honesty so much . it could n't have been easy . neil : you two do realize that your dad stood by me for a lot of years , you know ? victoria : yeah , well , he 's not against using that , is he ? to try to make you feel obligated . gosh , i wish all the times i 've been in your position , i could have handled it with as much integrity as you just did . neil : i do n't think your dad is gon na see it that way . nick : well , you definitely have our respect . victoria : yeah . neil : thanks . judge phelps : i 've made my decision . victoria : okay . neil : yeah . michael : what 's happened ? neil : the judge is ready to issue his ruling . victor : go ahead . neil : victor , i ca n't say i 'm sorry . but i will say that i hope that you understand one day why i felt the need to take this stand . victor : i will never understand . neil winters , i will never understand . judge phelps : we will begin with a reminder . my ruling will be final and binding , as you all agreed to at the start of this process . regarding adam newman and his sworn confession to forging the trusts at the center of this case , his failure to appear today raises serious doubts as to the validity of that statement . given the additional testimony provided by mr. winters , i intend to recommend that the district attorney look into filing charges of perjury against adam newman . now ... it is unfortunate that you and your family were unable to reach an amicable settlement . i certainly feel the weight of responsibility that places on me to find a just and equitable resolution , and i am aware of the far - reaching impact it will have , both on your personal relationships and on your ongoing business affairs . having immersed myself for months in newman financial statements and forensic accounting reports and having thoroughly reviewed depositions and transcripts of all the discussions we have had , i am prepared to render a decision . in my opinion , the $ 3 billion figure demanded as compensation by the plaintiffs is excessive in the extreme . but while you , sir , are , without a doubt , a masterful businessman , the fact remains the provisions of the trusts were routinely and flagrantly ignored . i therefore find in favor of the complainants , and i am awarding each of them compensation in the amount of $ 500 million for a total sum of $ 1.5 billion . michael : excuse me . victor : what recourse do we have ? michael : recourse ? victor , the ruling is binding . it 's final . victor : i want you to find a loophole . michael : i 'm not sure that 's possible . victor : make it possible . i will not dismantle my company because of these spoiled brats . i wo n't do it . no one beats me . no one beats victor newman . ( sighs ) nick : your honor ? thank you . victoria : ( chuckles ) judge phelps : well , the facts were on your side . victoria : gosh , it 's such a huge relief . i ca n't even tell you . judge phelps : i would venture to guess that the hard part is still ahead of you . victoria : ( sighs ) judge phelps : good luck to you . victoria : yeah . judge phelps : all of you . nick : thank you , sir . victoria : thanks . leslie : i 'll give you some time . abby : all right . victoria : okay . i ... abby : uh ... victoria : i ca n't even take this in . abby : ( exhales deeply ) nick : you 're in shock . victoria : yes , i 'm -- i 'm in shock . we won . abby : ( stammers ) um , you are the one that kept saying that this was gon na happen . victoria : i know i did . uh , but when i tried to picture it , i could n't . i mean , nobody beats victor newman . we did ! abby : yeah . victoria : ( laughs ) right ? abby : yeah .

's body , which means there 's practically no way that they can convict him . nikki : he should n't have to go through it at all . the thought of him being locked away for even a minute for a crime he did n't commit -- victoria : i know . i hate the situation as much as you do . you know that . but i just came from seeing dad , and he is his same strong , resilient self . and he 's gon na fight these charges with every resource that he has . and he 's gon na survive it . but could you say the same thing for yourself if you were behind those bars ? jill : i 'm all for making the most of a winter break , but do n't mattie and charlie ever come home ? cane : yeah , you know , mostly to raid the fridge or recharge their batteries . but , um , next time they 're here , i 'll get them to sit down so that we can figure out when we can see you , 'cause i know they 'd love to do that . um ... but , hey , uh , do you -- do you want anything ? jill : i was gon na ask you the same thing . you seem like you 're a million miles away . cane : no , it 's nothing . jill : listen [ scoffs ] the last time i saw you , you were all energized . you were gon na step up for your kids 100 % . and now you 're running on empty . what 's the matter ? cane : i do n't know . i mean , i can do the dad thing . but , you know , the husband thing is kind of , um ... it 's kind of tripping me up . jill : what do you mean ? cane : i feel like , whatever i do , i 'm letting lily down . jill : listen , cane , you know that you can talk to me about anything . cane : that 's okay . i do n't need to . i can handle this . it 's okay . jill : pbht !

'cause all i do is remember how i lied to her about juliet and hilary 's car crash , and i know it only made matters worse . so what i 'm gon na do is , i 'm gon na do the right thing this time , and i 'm gon na tell lily the truth . victoria : thank you . [ sighs ] thank you so much for seeing me on short notice like this . dr. mosely : i 'm glad you called . what 's been going on ? victoria : gosh , i do n't even know where to start . my mother nearly died . and now she 's in intensive care . [ sighs ] reed is home for the holidays . and that 's been very complicated . and last but not least , my dad has been arrested for j.t . 's murder . dr. mosely : i saw that on the news . that must be so difficult . how have you been handling it ? victoria : i ... i feel totally responsible . dr. mosely : it 's interesting you feel responsible . i 'm wondering why that is . victoria : well , i know why . [ sighs ] because it all comes back to me . because if i had n't brought j.t . back into my life , then none of these things would be happening . there 's not one day that goes by that i do n't wish that i could go back and make everything disappear . his murder . the police investigation . how his father being gone is affecting my son . everyone is suffering because of my bad choice . [ scoffs ] and now my dad -- my dad is in jail because of me . he hated j.t . he never made that a secret . which is why everyone thinks that he 's guilty . dr. mosely : it sounds like you do n't think that he 's guilty . victoria : no , i know that my father 's not guilty . and i know that for a fact , because -- because i know my father . dr. mosely : so , tell me , how are you managing your anxiety ? victoria : well , that 's the best part . heh ... i kissed two men in one day . so you tell me . how do you think i 'm managing things ? because , honestly , i feel like i 'm going out of my mind . tech : at safelite autoglass jack : wow . you go out of town for a few days , a hell of a lot can happen . billy : incredible , right ? jack : you know , i wo n't lose any sleep over victor being behind bars , but the nikki thing bothers me . they 're sure that she 's gon na be okay ? billy : vicki said that she 's doing surprisingly well . physically , anyway . of course , she 's stressed out with victor being in jail . victoria 's having a rough time with this , too . of course , she swears up and down that her dad did n't have anything to do with j.t . 's murder . jack : sounds like the two of you have been spending more time together . billy : yeah . you know , i 'm just trying to be there for her and the kids in any capacity that she needs . jack : feel like you 're getting closer ? billy : uh , yeah . i guess you could say that . jack : more - than - friendly closer ? billy : well ... jack : are you blushing ? billy : [ gruffly ] come on ! i do n't blush . jack : okay . so go on . billy : um ... [ clears throat ] well , we , uh ... [ sighs ] we kissed . kinda sorta kissed . and then we -- we talked about it . we talked about our feelings . jack : very mature . billy : yeah . jack : so , tell me more . billy : well , she 's concerned about , you know , the circumstances , where my heart really is , and , um , what this all means kind of stuff . jack : do you know ? billy : yeah . i do . i 'm crazy about her , jack . i always have been . jack : okay . um ... i 'm gon na give you some advice you did n't ask for . forget the chemistry . forget the attraction that you 've never lost . forget how good it feels to be there for victoria and the kids . if you 're going to get involved with her again , you have to be absolutely certain . it is a complete commitment . one you can not afford to even appear to make unless you are certain this is what you want . are you really up to that ? victoria : thank you . dr. mosely : take your time . victoria : i just feel like i should have caution tape and those little orange cones around me . kissing two men in one day ? [ huffs ] what was i thinking ? what was i doing ? just makes absolutely no sense . dr. mosely : let 's try to unpack what 's going on . now , who were these men ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy . dr. mosely : your ex - husband . and the other ? victoria : a man that i used to work with . a lying , manipulative cheater , whose machinations caused a lawsuit that caused some irreparable damage to my company . and then , on top of that , when reed was dating his daughter , he was a complete imbecile about all of it . dr. mosely : is there an underlying attraction despite your animosity ? victoria : absolutely no . never . dr. mosely : let me see if i understand . you kissed a man you dislike and are not attracted to . tell me , what has your relationship with billy been like recently ? victoria : it 's been wonderful . he 's been very supportive , and a literal shoulder to lean on . and he makes me smile . and laugh . just like ... just like we used to . dr. mosely : and the kiss ? what was it like to kiss billy again ? victoria : i enjoyed it very much . dr. mosely : it sounds like you 're thinking of reuniting with him romantically ? victoria : i never imagined that i would . i never thought that things could be like this between us ever again . i do n't want to say it out loud , but , um ... he kind of makes me happy . dr. mosely : and yet ... ? victoria : and yet how can i have these feelings for billy , and then kiss a man that i loathe ? dr. mosely : that 's a good question . jill : honey , please . look at me . look at me . cane : [ sighs ] jill : be honest with me . this kiss -- it was really a meaningless kiss ? once , never to be repeated ? cane : i 've already told you -- & jill : i know what you 've told me . i know what you 've told me . but the way you 're reacting , it makes me think that maybe this kiss meant a little more than that , and you do n't want to admit it . cane : it was nothing . it was nothing . look , i never even intended for it to happen , all right ? i do n't even like her ! believe me . jill : i do . i do believe you , so i 'm gon na give you a great piece of advice . keep your mouth shut , okay ? never , never breathe this to another living soul . and never , ever speak a word of it to lily . nate : and how is my favorite patient doing today ? nikki : that 's why i wanted to see you -- for an update . nate : what do you want to know ? nikki : how soon can i get out of here ? cane : listen , telling lily is the right thing to do . jill : okay . have you thought for one minute about what this particular piece of information would do to her ? she will spend the rest of her days in there wondering what you 're doing , and who you 're doing it with . she will doubt herself . she will doubt your love for her . she will doubt her place in this home . and as much as you 've been struggling without her , you and i both know that that pales in comparison to what she 's been through . she has lost her freedom , cane . she 's cut off from her family . and the only way she is garnering any strength for herself is from her loved ones . so , please . she is depending on you . do not undermine her this way . cane : that 's the last thing that i want to do . jill : just admit that you made a stupid mistake and let it go . and spend the rest of your time devoting all of your energy to being the man that she needs you to be . cane : okay . jill : mm ! and promise me one thing , please . whoever this woman is who kissed you right out of the blue , would you stay the hell away from her ? because she sounds like nothing but trouble . victoria : maybe by kissing cane , i was [ sighs ] subconsciously trying to sabotage my chances of reconciliation with billy . dr. mosely : that 's an interesting theory . tell me more . victoria : maybe i knew how things ... would most likely end , and i wanted to ruin it before he could disappoint me again . there 's a million different reasons why my marriage to billy did n't work out , and why we never got back together . dr. mosely : tell me about those reasons . victoria : billy lied to me . he had a gambling problem that he was in rehab for . he was very , very reckless . and he just got out of a -- another relationship recently . dr. mosely : well , that 's who he was . let 's focus on now . who do you think billy is today ? victoria : he 's changed . he 's more mature . he 's thoughtful and careful . steady . dr. mosely : but ? victoria : he 's changed , but have i ? i trusted my instincts when i got back together with j.t . and look at what that did . look at what that did to my life . to my children , and to my family . i trusted my heart , and ... now i feel so ashamed . dr. mosely : let 's take your heart out of the equation . now , if i recall correctly , billy was never physically abusive , was he ? controlling ? cruel ? victoria : no , no , no . billy 's nothing like j.t . he would never try to hurt me . i just do n't know if i 'm ready to dive into another relationship . dr. mosely : what if , instead of diving in , you eased yourself in a little at a time ? at your own pace . victoria : i guess i could . dr. mosely : but before you go down that path , i would encourage you to have an honest , open conversation with billy . tell him about your hopes , and your fears , about building a new relationship with him , and see how he reacts . and then decide if you 're truly ready to move forward . billy : i 'm glad you 're asking me the tough questions . that 's what a big brother 's supposed to do . jack : you really ready to try again with victoria ? billy : yeah . i most definitely am . jack : i think that 's great . so what 's stopping you ? billy : victoria . i do n't -- [ sighs ] she has n't actually said that she wants to get back together . jack : have you ? or are you just both in a holding pattern , waiting for the other person to make the first move ? billy : i think she wants to . but , of course , with everything that i 've put her through in the past , you know ... jack : maybe it 's time you let her know where you stand . and that you 're standing on both feet . billy : what would you do ? jack : me ? billy : besides jetting off to bora bora , of course . jack : i would n't let her wonder for one more minute if i was ready to move forward . i would do something to remind her how great we were together . some gesture that -- that lets her know how much she means to me . billy : you 're smarter than you look , jack . jack : wait , wait , wait . where are you going ? billy : to do something that i should have done a while ago . wish me luck . jack : good luck . smile dad . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . look . it 's over . nate : [ sucks teeth ] okay , so , i 'd like to see your vitals a little stronger and more stable ... nikki : [ sighs ] nate : ... before we talk about letting you go back home . nikki : how much longer do i have to stay here ? nate : let 's -- let 's take it day by day , okay ? nikki : but i 'm already feeling so much better . nate : yes , you 've rebounded quite nicely . but if you were to leave before you 're ready , and something were to happen -- nikki : it won't . nate : your recovery has been nothing short of miraculous so far . and i wo n't let anything jeopardize that , including you . so , once i think you 're ready , i 'll give you my seal of approval , and you can be on your way . but until then , i want you to lay back . i want you to relax , and enjoy being waited on hand and foot . doctor 's orders . nikki : okay . whatever you say . nate : okay . we 'll see you later . nikki : thanks . jill : so , from the look of surprise on your face , i assume billy did n't tell you i was back in town ? jack : no , he did n't mention it . but , you know what , he 's a little preoccupied these days . i 'm always delighted to see you . jill : look at you ! oh , lovely linen . but it 's winter . what 's up with that ? jack : those were my bags we passed on the way in . i just got back from my vacation . bora bora . sublime . jill : mm . jack : what about you ? you and colin in town for a - post - holidays family reunion ? jill : [ sighs ] no , i made this trip solo . colin and i are taking a little break from each other . it 's a messy situation . i do n't want to get into it right now . but that is the reason that i have n't been in touch as much as i 'd like . jack : i 'm sorry to hear that . jill : do n't be . you know , sometimes love has an expiration date . but you get up , and you move forward . just like jabot has done without ashley , right ? have you heard from her lately ? jack : radio silence . jill : oh , dear . it was so terrible , what she did , lying about your dna . and then fudging the results of those tests . jack : yeah , not exactly her best moments . but you know what ? i was n't exactly faultless myself . jill : well , anyway . congratulations on being an official abbott again . i know how much it meant to you to find out the truth . jack : i have to admit , it does feel good . jill : i just wish that ashley had come clean before kyle felt compelled to desecrate phillip 's grave for the dna . jack : oh , i 'm still horrified that it ever got to that point . jill : well , that makes two of us . jack : then maybe we could make a deal ? let 's never mention it again . jill : oh , boy . agreed . so , billy tells me that you 've been working really hard to unite the family . team abbott and all that . jack : yeah , it 's what dad would have done . what dad would have wanted . jill : your dad . john certainly was a man among men , was n't he ? jack : oh , that he was . jill : and he 'd be very proud of you . jack : thanks . thanks . it means a lot to me to hear you say that . jill : mm . billy : nice timing . where are you coming from ? victoria : uh , i was -- i was at the hospital earlier . billy : yeah ? how 's mom ? victoria : she 's doing much better , thank goodness . billy : good . well , send her my love . victoria : i will . i 'm really glad you stopped by . billy : good . well , great minds think alike . please . ladies first . victoria : oh . [ chuckles ] you know , um ... i 've been thinking a lot since our last conversation . billy : yeah . me too . victoria : and ... i realized that i put a lot of the responsibility on you , asking you to sort out where your feelings for me were coming from . and asking you to be sure that you know what it is that you want . but i realized that maybe i did that because i was n't ready to be honest with myself . billy : so , how do you feel about me ? about us ? having a , uh ... about us having a romantic relationship ? victoria : i do have feelings for you . very , very strong feelings . but i - i honestly do n't know if i can be in a committed relationship with anyone again . i do n't know if i can be that vulnerable , that trusting , that open again . billy : because of what happened with j.t . ? victoria : and because of what happened with us . i just do n't want history repeating itself . i - i do n't think i could take it . and i would n't want to do that to the kids . i would n't want for us to try and then fail . because ... we would n't be the only ones hurt , you know ? our hearts would n't be the only ones breaking . you and i , we 've been through a lot . we really have . and i just -- i do n't think i could take it again if it did n't work out . so i just want you to think about that before you tell me whatever it is that you came here to say . jack : jill atkinson , may i introduce kerry johnson . jill : the reason for your tropical glow . jack : mm . jill : ker -- [ gasps ] kerry johnson ! you are jabot 's new phenomenon ! jack : your reputation precedes you . jill : ahh . kerry : very pleased to meet you , jill . jack : jill was married to my father . she 's billy 's mother . jill : and a former c.e.o . of jabot , i might add . kerry : oh , wow . so you two go way back . jack : oh , yeah . jill : way , way back . whoa ! the things i could tell you about jack . jack : that wo n't be necessary . jill : [ laughs ] what , are you afraid she wo n't approve of your misspent youth ? kerry : i am just happy to hear that she 's family and not another ex - wife .

[ sighs ] no crazy plot twists . no ridiculous expectations or self - fulfilling prophecies . [ sighs ] it can be different this time . victoria : how can you be so sure ? billy : because this time , i 'm not gon na let you down . i 'm more mature . i 'd like to think i 'm wiser . and i want to be able to give everything to you . everything that you need . everything that you want . i learned from my mistakes , and i want to show you every day that i can be good for you . good to you . and worthy of being a part of your life . victoria : oh , i ca n't , billy . not -- not yet . billy : [ sighs ] okay . whatever you need . victoria : just ... so much has happened , and everything is moving so fast . with my parents and reed .

's body , which means there 's practically no way that they can convict him . nikki : he should n't have to go through it at all . the thought of him being locked away for even a minute for a crime he did n't commit -- victoria : i know . i hate the situation as much as you do . you know that . but i just came from seeing dad , and he is his same strong , resilient self . and he 's gon na fight these charges with every resource that he has . and he 's gon na survive it . but could you say the same thing for yourself if you were behind those bars ? jill : i 'm all for making the most of a winter break , but do n't mattie and charlie ever come home ? cane : yeah , you know , mostly to raid the fridge or recharge their batteries . but , um , next time they 're here , i 'll get them to sit down so that we can figure out when we can see you , 'cause i know they 'd love to do that . um ... but , hey , uh , do you -- do you want anything ? jill : i was gon na ask you the same thing . you seem like you 're a million miles away . cane : no , it 's nothing . jill : listen [ scoffs ] the last time i saw you , you were all energized . you were gon na step up for your kids 100 % . and now you 're running on empty . what 's the matter ? cane : i do n't know . i mean , i can do the dad thing . but , you know , the husband thing is kind of , um ... it 's kind of tripping me up . jill : what do you mean ? cane : i feel like , whatever i do , i 'm letting lily down . jill : listen , cane , you know that you can talk to me about anything . cane : that 's okay . i do n't need to . i can handle this . it 's okay . jill : pbht ! [ laughs ] well , you 're not doing a very good job of it . sweetheart , if you keep things bottled up inside you , it eats at you , and then you explode at somebody -- like your kids , or somebody else even less deserving . please trust me . come on . i have had quite a bit of experience at this life thing , all right ? if i have n't done it or thought about doing it , i 've known somebody who has . i have also been known to give very impeccable advice . cane : so you think confession 's good for the soul ? jill : lay it on me . you 'll feel better . cane : i kissed another woman . victoria : you know , a couple of days ago , i was afraid i was gon na lose you forever . [ sighs ] do you realize what a miracle that it is that i 'm sitting with you here right now ? [ sighs ] mom , you 're alive . you got a second chance . and you want to throw that away by leaving the icu and going to the county jail ? you 're gon na be treated in an infirmary until you recover , and then they 'll just throw you in with the general population . or maybe they 'll decide you 're well enough now , and they 'll just throw you in right away . [ sighs ] after everything that you 've been through , with your m.s . , i really do n't see you fully recovering in that place . nikki : well , do n't think that way . victoria : mom , it 's all we can think . we have to . it 's true . and what would dad say about you jeopardizing your health and your life for him when he does everything that he can to protect you ? nikki : he needs to know . victoria : mom , he knows what 's important . he knows that you 're being taken care of . he knows that you 're in good hands . he knows that you love him , and that you 're okay . nikki : but if he -- victoria : he may never go to trial , mom . the charges against dad , they might get thrown out . please . please , please , let 's just wait and see what happens . no more talk about police or confessing to anyone . i just want you to focus on getting stronger so that you can go home . please , mom . promise me . nikki : okay . you 're right . getting out of this hospital will be my top priority . i promise . victoria : [ sighs ] thank goodness . thank you . [ sighs ] a migraine hope additional sponsorship jack : this is our bungalow . billy : mm - hmm . jack : there 's kerry , coming out of the water . wow ! look at you . oh , my god . kerry : oh , my gosh . stop . next . he loves that one . jack : um , uh , this is ... us on the beach . us having drinks on the beach . billy : yeah , it 's great . i really -- i - i get the picture . you two had the , uh , time of your lives . kerry : billy 's probably getting a little bora - bored with the photos . i mean , i was there , and even i do n't want to see all of them . jack : yeah , you 're probably right . not fair to go on and on about our tropical vacation while billy was up to his knees in snow . but not to worry . we brought a little bit of the islands back to the frozen abbotts . billy : ah . jack : this is for you . go ahead . billy : wow . you should n't have . honestly . you ... really should n't have . kerry : if you guys will excuse me , i 've got to make a few work calls . let my assistant know i 'm back . jack : yeah . billy : thank you , kerry . kerry : mm - hmm . billy : [ clears throat ] well . my , oh , my . you two are cozier than ever jack : it shows ? billy : yeah . i 'm just surprised how fast this is all happening , this new relationship . jack : eh , you know how it is . we 're getting to know each other . i 'm telling you , the more i know her , the more i like her . billy : huh . jack : you do n't have a problem with that ? billy : no . you 're happy , i 'm happy . jack : i 'm very happy . billy : good . and now that we have that out of the way , there 's a couple other serious issues that we need to discuss . while you were sunning yourself and getting tipsy on tahitian rum , all hell broke loose for the newmans here in genoa city . jack : i saw the news . billy : yeah , well , the news only covered half of it . wait till you hear this . cane : all right , are you gon na say something ? jill : i know it was really hard for you to be honest with me , okay , and i 'd like to think it 's 'cause you know i 'm the last person to judge . but what in the name of holy heaven were you thinking , kissing another woman ? cane : it was one kiss . jill : oh , and now you 're defending yourself ! cane : i 'm not defending myself . i 'm explaining to you what happened , okay ? it was one kiss , and i regretted it from the moment it happened . jill : all right . who is she ? do i know her ? cane it does n't matter . look , we 're not friends . i 'm not even attracted to her , okay ? jill : [ scoffs ] how did your lips end up on hers , then ? cane : i got all this upsetting news , and [ sighs ] i was angry at the world and myself , and we were arguing . the next thing you know ... we were kissing . jill : and what about her ? this other woman ? cane : first of all , there is no `` other woman . `` and secondly , she 's probably as confused about this as i am . jill : forgive me for saying this . i do realize that it 's been quite a few months without any female companionship -- cane : all right , trust me , she is the last woman that i want to have `` female companionship `` with . jill : [ sighs ] okay . you know , passion is really close to anger , and hate is just a thin line from love . you have been shutting off all your emotions ever since lily was imprisoned . and all of a sudden , you get all these feelings , and these feelings , even though they 're anger , it just swept you away . cane : lily is the woman i love , and lily is the woman i need in my life . she is my heart and my soul , and everything that is good about me is because of her . and i -- [ sighs ] i hate myself for what happened . and i 'm trying to pretend it did n't happen -- block it out -- but i can't . 'cause all i do is remember how i lied to her about juliet and hilary 's car crash , and i know it only made matters worse . so what i 'm gon na do is , i 'm gon na do the right thing this time , and i 'm gon na tell lily the truth . victoria : thank you . [ sighs ] thank you so much for seeing me on short notice like this . dr. mosely : i 'm glad you called . what 's been going on ? victoria : gosh , i do n't even know where to start . my mother nearly died . and now she 's in intensive care . [ sighs ] reed is home for the holidays . and that 's been very complicated . and last but not least , my dad has been arrested for j.t . 's murder . dr. mosely : i saw that on the news . that must be so difficult . how have you been handling it ? victoria : i ... i feel totally responsible . dr. mosely : it 's interesting you feel responsible . i 'm wondering why that is . victoria : well , i know why . [ sighs ] because it all comes back to me . because if i had n't brought j.t . back into my life , then none of these things would be happening . there 's not one day that goes by that i do n't wish that i could go back and make everything disappear . his murder . the police investigation . how his father being gone is affecting my son . everyone is suffering because of my bad choice . [ scoffs ] and now my dad -- my dad is in jail because of me . he hated j.t . he never made that a secret . which is why everyone thinks that he 's guilty . dr. mosely : it sounds like you do n't think that he 's guilty . victoria : no , i know that my father 's not guilty . and i know that for a fact , because -- because i know my father . dr. mosely : so , tell me , how are you managing your anxiety ? victoria : well , that 's the best part . heh ... i kissed two men in one day . so you tell me . how do you think i 'm managing things ? because , honestly , i feel like i 'm going out of my mind . tech : at safelite autoglass jack : wow . you go out of town for a few days , a hell of a lot can happen . billy : incredible , right ? jack : you know , i wo n't lose any sleep over victor being behind bars , but the nikki thing bothers me . they 're sure that she 's gon na be okay ? billy : vicki said that she 's doing surprisingly well . physically , anyway . of course , she 's stressed out with victor being in jail . victoria 's having a rough time with this , too . of course , she swears up and down that her dad did n't have anything to do with j.t . 's murder . jack : sounds like the two of you have been spending more time together . billy : yeah . you know , i 'm just trying to be there for her and the kids in any capacity that she needs . jack : feel like you 're getting closer ? billy : uh , yeah . i guess you could say that . jack : more - than - friendly closer ? billy : well ... jack : are you blushing ? billy : [ gruffly ] come on ! i do n't blush . jack : okay . so go on . billy : um ... [ clears throat ] well , we , uh ... [ sighs ] we kissed . kinda sorta kissed . and then we -- we talked about it . we talked about our feelings . jack : very mature . billy : yeah . jack : so , tell me more . billy : well , she 's concerned about , you know , the circumstances , where my heart really is , and , um , what this all means kind of stuff . jack : do you know ? billy : yeah . i do . i 'm crazy about her , jack . i always have been . jack : okay . um ... i 'm gon na give you some advice you did n't ask for . forget the chemistry . forget the attraction that you 've never lost . forget how good it feels to be there for victoria and the kids . if you 're going to get involved with her again , you have to be absolutely certain . it is a complete commitment . one you can not afford to even appear to make unless you are certain this is what you want . are you really up to that ? victoria : thank you . dr. mosely : take your time . victoria : i just feel like i should have caution tape and those little orange cones around me . kissing two men in one day ? [ huffs ] what was i thinking ? what was i doing ? just makes absolutely no sense . dr. mosely : let 's try to unpack what 's going on . now , who were these men ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy . dr. mosely : your ex - husband . and the other ? victoria : a man that i used to work with . a lying , manipulative cheater , whose machinations caused a lawsuit that caused some irreparable damage to my company . and then , on top of that , when reed was dating his daughter , he was a complete imbecile about all of it . dr. mosely : is there an underlying attraction despite your animosity ? victoria : absolutely no . never . dr. mosely : let me see if i understand . you kissed a man you dislike and are not attracted to . tell me , what has your relationship with billy been like recently ? victoria : it 's been wonderful . he 's been very supportive , and a literal shoulder to lean on . and he makes me smile . and laugh . just like ... just like we used to . dr. mosely : and the kiss ? what was it like to kiss billy again ? victoria : i enjoyed it very much . dr. mosely : it sounds like you 're thinking of reuniting with him romantically ? victoria : i never imagined that i would . i never thought that things could be like this between us ever again . i do n't want to say it out loud , but , um ... he kind of makes me happy . dr. mosely : and yet ... ? victoria : and yet how can i have these feelings for billy , and then kiss a man that i loathe ? dr. mosely : that 's a good question . jill : honey , please . look at me . look at me . cane : [ sighs ] jill : be honest with me . this kiss -- it was really a meaningless kiss ? once , never to be repeated ? cane : i 've already told you -- & jill : i know what you 've told me . i know what you 've told me . but the way you 're reacting , it makes me think that maybe this kiss meant a little more than that , and you do n't want to admit it . cane : it was nothing . it was nothing . look , i never even intended for it to happen , all right ? i do n't even like her ! believe me . jill : i do . i do believe you , so i 'm gon na give you a great piece of advice . keep your mouth shut , okay ? never , never breathe this to another living soul . and never , ever speak a word of it to lily . nate : and how is my favorite patient doing today ? nikki : that 's why i wanted to see you -- for an update . nate : what do you want to know ? nikki : how soon can i get out of here ? cane : listen , telling lily is the right thing to do . jill : okay . have you thought for one minute about what this particular piece of information would do to her ? she will spend the rest of her days in there wondering what you 're doing , and who you 're doing it with . she will doubt herself . she will doubt your love for her . she will doubt her place in this home . and as much as you 've been struggling without her , you and i both know that that pales in comparison to what she 's been through . she has lost her freedom , cane . she 's cut off from her family . and the only way she is garnering any strength for herself is from her loved ones . so , please . she is depending on you . do not undermine her this way . cane : that 's the last thing that i want to do . jill : just admit that you made a stupid mistake and let it go . and spend the rest of your time devoting all of your energy to being the man that she needs you to be . cane : okay . jill : mm ! and promise me one thing , please . whoever this woman is who kissed you right out of the blue , would you stay the hell away from her ? because she sounds like nothing but trouble . victoria : maybe by kissing cane , i was [ sighs ] subconsciously trying to sabotage my chances of reconciliation with billy . dr. mosely : that 's an interesting theory . tell me more . victoria : maybe i knew how things ... would most likely end , and i wanted to ruin it before he could disappoint me again . there 's a million different reasons why my marriage to billy did n't work out , and why we never got back together . dr. mosely : tell me about those reasons . victoria : billy lied to me . he had a gambling problem that he was in rehab for . he was very , very reckless . and he just got out of a -- another relationship recently . dr. mosely : well , that 's who he was . let 's focus on now . who do you think billy is today ? victoria : he 's changed . he 's more mature . he 's thoughtful and careful . steady . dr. mosely : but ? victoria : he 's changed , but have i ? i trusted my instincts when i got back together with j.t . and look at what that did . look at what that did to my life . to my children , and to my family . i trusted my heart , and ... now i feel so ashamed . dr. mosely : let 's take your heart out of the equation . now , if i recall correctly , billy was never physically abusive , was he ? controlling ? cruel ? victoria : no , no , no . billy 's nothing like j.t . he would never try to hurt me . i just do n't know if i 'm ready to dive into another relationship . dr. mosely : what if , instead of diving in , you eased yourself in a little at a time ? at your own pace . victoria : i guess i could . dr. mosely : but before you go down that path , i would encourage you to have an honest , open conversation with billy . tell him about your hopes , and your fears , about building a new relationship with him , and see how he reacts . and then decide if you 're truly ready to move forward . billy : i 'm glad you 're asking me the tough questions . that 's what a big brother 's supposed to do . jack : you really ready to try again with victoria ? billy : yeah . i most definitely am . jack : i think that 's great . so what 's stopping you ? billy : victoria . i do n't -- [ sighs ] she has n't actually said that she wants to get back together . jack : have you ? or are you just both in a holding pattern , waiting for the other person to make the first move ? billy : i think she wants to . but , of course , with everything that i 've put her through in the past , you know ... jack : maybe it 's time you let her know where you stand . and that you 're standing on both feet . billy : what would you do ? jack : me ? billy : besides jetting off to bora bora , of course . jack : i would n't let her wonder for one more minute if i was ready to move forward . i would do something to remind her how great we were together . some gesture that -- that lets her know how much she means to me . billy : you 're smarter than you look , jack . jack : wait , wait , wait . where are you going ? billy : to do something that i should have done a while ago . wish me luck . jack : good luck . smile dad . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . look . it 's over . nate : [ sucks teeth ] okay , so , i 'd like to see your vitals a little stronger and more stable ... nikki : [ sighs ] nate : ... before we talk about letting you go back home . nikki : how much longer do i have to stay here ? nate : let 's -- let 's take it day by day , okay ? nikki : but i 'm already feeling so much better . nate : yes , you 've rebounded quite nicely . but if you were to leave before you 're ready , and something were to happen -- nikki : it won't . nate : your recovery has been nothing short of miraculous so far . and i wo n't let anything jeopardize that , including you . so , once i think you 're ready , i 'll give you my seal of approval , and you can be on your way . but until then , i want you to lay back . i want you to relax , and enjoy being waited on hand and foot . doctor 's orders . nikki : okay . whatever you say . nate : okay . we 'll see you later . nikki : thanks . jill : so , from the look of surprise on your face , i assume billy did n't tell you i was back in town ? jack : no , he did n't mention it . but , you know what , he 's a little preoccupied these days . i 'm always delighted to see you . jill : look at you ! oh , lovely linen . but it 's winter . what 's up with that ? jack : those were my bags we passed on the way in . i just got back from my vacation . bora bora . sublime . jill : mm . jack : what about you ? you and colin in town for a - post - holidays family reunion ? jill : [ sighs ] no , i made this trip solo . colin and i are taking a little break from each other . it 's a messy situation . i do n't want to get into it right now . but that is the reason that i have n't been in touch as much as i 'd like . jack : i 'm sorry to hear that . jill : do n't be . you know , sometimes love has an expiration date . but you get up , and you move forward . just like jabot has done without ashley , right ? have you heard from her lately ? jack : radio silence . jill : oh , dear . it was so terrible , what she did , lying about your dna . and then fudging the results of those tests . jack : yeah , not exactly her best moments . but you know what ? i was n't exactly faultless myself . jill : well , anyway . congratulations on being an official abbott again . i know how much it meant to you to find out the truth . jack : i have to admit , it does feel good . jill : i just wish that ashley had come clean before kyle felt compelled to desecrate phillip 's grave for the dna . jack : oh , i 'm still horrified that it ever got to that point . jill : well , that makes two of us . jack : then maybe we could make a deal ?

her sound , her look ... her everything . she went from writing songs on our fire escape to playing small clubs around town , and now she 's taking her talents across the country . i mean , this is the kind of tour that could really help her catch fire , you know ? lindsay : there 's -- there 's something you 're leaving out . mariah : i am ? lindsay : you have n't said one word about you , and it 's written all over your face . i mean , it 's in your body language . you 're hiding something . you can tell me . or i 'll just promise to keep digging until i figure it out . mariah : it 's complicated . lindsay : okay . spill . phyllis : oh , what is that ?

sharon : what ? what ? phyllis : um ... the bandage . did you get a tattoo ? sharon : yeah . yep . um ... rey 's badge number . it just hurt like hell , but , you know , the things we do for love , right ? rey : so thanks for meeting me here . paul : well , you said it was important . rey : it is . paul : okay . it 's not about that armed robbery case you just closed , is it ? rey : no . paul : good , 'cause that was some , uh -- some solid police work . rey : yeah , well , i could n't have done it without peterson and jimmy and the rest of the guys . paul : i 'm just glad you 're back on the force . you have proven yourself to be , uh , quite a leader . good work ethic , principle . it 's rubbing off on everybody . rey : [ chuckles ] well , maybe i should be asking for a raise instead of the real reason i asked you here . paul : okay . so , what 's up ? rey : i 'm hoping to ... lighten the load . maybe hand off some of my cases to the other detectives . paul : okay . i mean , if you feel like you 're hitting a wall or you 're getting burned out , we do have people you could talk to . rey : thanks , chief , but this is , um ... paul : i 'm barking up the wrong tree ? okay . you need a break . i get that . so ... are you at least going to tell me what it 's about ? discomfort back there ? tanner : what you doing ? tessa : uh , i am teaching myself how to crochet a scarf for mariah . tanner : [ chuckles ] oh , man . tessa : uh , laugh all you want , but once i 'm finished , you 're gon na be amazed . tanner : i 'm not laughing . i 'm just thinking about my girlfriend . tessa : about how you 'll be in the doghouse when she sees this gorgeous scarf ? and you did n't make her one ? well , lucky for you , i always travel with an extra crochet hook . tanner : she 's , um ... more the designer label type . she 's nothing like you . tessa : what , did i break your heart when we got divorced , so you had to find the opposite of me ? tanner : no , she 's just , uh ... regular . tessa : well , you 're probably offbeat enough both of you . tanner : yeah , um , i guess you 're right . we make it work . lindsay : so ... this friend of yours ... mariah : she has a secret . she is very intent on keeping it from the world and hates when anyone helps her . and i feel like my hands are tied . lindsay : well , it 's a good thing you came to me because bartenders know the secret to life . mariah : [ chuckles ] okay , so what do i do ? lindsay : we ca n't control who we are or what the narrative will be when we reveal our secrets , right ? i mean , there 's people that will accept you no matter what , but then there 's people who will make assumptions , you know , they know the first five minutes of your story , and they think they know how your movie 's gon na end . so this person you 're protecting , is she good ? mariah : to the core . lindsay : is this ride - or - die situation ? mariah : absolutely . lindsay : then it 's easy . you cover for her because you know she do the same thing for you . what she needs to know is that she can depend on you , trust you . so keep her safe until she feels strong enough to face the world alone . mariah : wow . that 's some very good advice . lindsay : well , it sounds like you 're being a really great friend , which is pretty cool . everyone could use someone like you in their corner . it 's a tough job , but ... you 're a bad - ass . you can handle it . sharon : school 's out already ?

[ laughs ] you think i got this job because of my good looks ? listen , whatever you need -- you need of a change of shift , you want me to spread the workload around . it 's done . rey : and this will stay just between us ? paul : that goes without saying . abby : well , i am sorry for that interruption . back to our conversation . you were saying ? chance : you 're interested in me . there 's a certain chemistry here . am i right ? abby : you 're not wrong . chance : yet you encouraged me to go on a date with another woman . that 's very adult and sophisticated of you . abby : well , some things need to be experienced firsthand . phyllis is one of them . chance : well , i must admit , i did have a good time with her . abby : glad to hear it . chance : surprisingly good , considering the fact that she 's always trying to work an angle . abby : well , that 's what you get with phyllis . chance : but what i want to know ... is what you think about all this . and , before you answer , you should know that i am fully willing and capable to administer a polygraph . so be honest . abby : why would i lie ? chance : oh , i do n't know . you 've been hurt before . maybe you -- maybe you 're happy when you 're with me . you just do n't trust it . it 's too ... risky . maybe you would lie to protect yourself . but i just want you to know that ... you do n't have to do that with me . abby : honestly ? i like you . chance : good . because i like you , too . abby : but if you 're interested in phyllis ... chance : i am right here , right now , putting it all on the line for you , abby newman . look , i appreciate your level of sophistication , wanting me to get phyllis out of my system . i 'm done . since i 've decided to stay here in genoa city , there is so much that i want to do and see . all i want to do it all ... with you . look , i 'm happy the way that my evening ended with phyllis , and when it did . it let me know exactly what it is that i want . i want you , abby . are you gon na say something , or do i have to draw you a picture ? abby : crystal - clear . chance : wow . [ cellphone chimes ] abby : um ... i 'm sorry , you should probably get that . chance : yeah . i probably should . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . abby : do n't be . i 'll make sure we pick up right where we left off . [ ringing continues ] chance : i 'm sorry . hello ? she 's asking questions , huh ? keep tailing her . i want to know every move that she makes and everyone she 's in contact with , you got me ? good . be in touch . abby : hey ! i was just thinking about you . it should n't come as a shock that the more time chance spent with you , the less interested he was , just as i predicted . phyllis : uh ... yeah , congratulations . excuse me . abby : chance made his choice . you 're looking at her . phyllis : i hope you 're very happy together . i got to go . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you do n't just walk away . this is n't you . so what kind of tricks do you have up your sleeve this time ? lindsay : hey . you done with business for the day ? mariah : uh , yeah , just phone calls and e - mails left . lindsay : then let me make you my newest masterpiece . i call it ... `` freedom . `` just a couple of sips , and you 'll be breaking down your walls , speaking from your heart , and doing things you 'd never imagine . mariah : mm , i probably shouldn't . lindsay : you should try it sometime . i 'll be right back . mariah : [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] lindsay : hey ! mariah : what ? lindsay : what the heck happened ? i leave for two seconds , and your whole world goes lopsided ? and do n't tell me you 're okay because you 're far from okay right now . what 's up ? abby : you 're just admitting defeat without a fight , throwing in the towel . phyllis : okay , sure . if that 's what you want to call it , great . yeah . abby : what are you up to ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i 'm not up to anything , abby . i 'm not planning a sneak attack . okay ? abby : which is exactly what you would say if you were trying to throw me off the scent . phyllis : the only thing that stinks here is that you do n't believe me . you won , okay ? it 's over . the game 's over . you won . take your toys and go , okay ? abby : wait a second . are you the one that called chance a few minutes ago ? phyllis : no , i am not . abby : then did you get someone else to call him , pretend there was some sort of emergency that he had to deal with ? that way , he had to leave ? phyllis : chance is the last thing on my mind right now . but you did text him when i was sitting next to him -- phyllis : oh , my god ! i am not interested in him . i am not interested in your boy scout . why do n't you get that ? abby : because it 's not like you to just give up . phyllis : it 's over ! you won , abby ! okay ? i 'm taking myself out of the game . it 's just -- abby : it 's just what ? phyllis : there are more important things in the world , more important things and people than you ! and me . nick : i did not say a word to phyllis . sharon : then how did she find out ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she saw that -- your port bandage . sharon : yeah , she did see it , and i made a joke about it and then changed the subject . nick : what kind of joke ? sharon : i said i got a new tattoo . nick : all right , and you expected her to believe that ? look , i know you do n't like phyllis , but she 's not a complete idiot . all right ? maybe she overheard you . maybe she picked up on something else that helped her put it together . sharon : what she does is run her mouth . nick : well , it does n't really matter how she found out , right ? sharon : it matters to me . you ca n't go around telling people . nick : i did n't say anything . faith : what 's wrong ? what happened ? nick : nothing . it 's all good . faith : mom ? sharon : we were just talking about whether you 're old enough to babysit . nick : oh , well .... yeah , yeah . i totally am . that 's not the point . mom , you ca n't be getting worked up about things . it 's our job to make sure she 's completely zen . no troubles . no worries . just deep breaths , both of you . sharon : [ breathes deeply ] nick : [ exhales sharply ] faith : see how easy that was ? forgive , forget , and move on . sharon : what would i do without you ? faith : so everything 's fine ? sharon : it will be . right , nick ? because that is what you promised . nick : yep . it 's fine . what 's up with tammy ? mariah : everything is fine . lindsay : look , i 'm the best bartender in town , if i do say so myself . so i can make you a drink that 'll help you forget or maybe make it seem better . or i could just listen . so ... tell me what 's broken , and how can we fix it ? you and your girl ? mariah : we 're fine . lindsay : she 's just being distant ? mariah : well , she is distant . she 's in a completely different time zone , but ... we 're stronger than we ever have been , and i fully support the new journey she 's on . lindsay : so then explain why you were looking at your phone like it was threatening to destroy your life . mariah : that 's very funny . i wasn't . i was just looking at a text lindsay : mm - hmm . from tessa ? mariah : no , from tanner . lindsay : tanner ? as it tanner watts ? wait , that 's who she 's on tour with ? mariah : yep . she 's his new opening act . lindsay : that 's incredible . mariah : yeah . it 's great , you know ? she gets to fly all around on his private jet , and she 's playing to thousands of fans every night , and ... it 's great . lindsay : hell , yeah . it 's just we keep ... missing each other . lindsay : yeah , i mean , i know -- i know how crazy it can be on the road . i was a roadie for a little bit , and the stories i could tell you ... i mean , it would curl your hair . the parties , the pranks , the -- the one - night stands ... mariah : i 'm sorry , what ? lindsay : you know , going into one town and playing for one night , and then picking up and leaving , and then there 's also the other kind , obviously , with all those creative people being stuck together all day , and , you know , all night . the hookups that you would never , ever expect , that -- but that was a long time ago . that was -- i mean , it was a -- it was a different music scene , you know ? we were like crammed into these little tour buses . it 's way different than , you know , jetting around on some cushy private plane . that -- that sounds downright civilized . mariah : yeah . lindsay : i 'm sure you have nothing to worry about . mariah : i 'm not worried . i 'm not worried . i just miss her so much , and it 's hard being apart this long , that 's all . lindsay : well you got to love with an open hand . and stop checking your phone every five minutes . she 's out there living her life . live yours . phyllis : just let me be , please . please . i do n't want to talk about this . abby : what are the more important things that you 're focused on right now ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i ca n't talk about it . wow , you -- you are keeping your mouth shut . i thought you were genetically incapable . phyllis : what you do n't know about me could fill a book , abby . several books . i really want to do the right thing . what i do know is that something 's up . you do n't have to tell me now but it 'll come out eventually . it always does . nick : i would never tell phyllis what you 're up against . sharon : okay , she did n't know , and then after a few minutes of commiserating with you , she seemed pretty up to speed . all right , look , i do n't want to argue about this . nick : i 'm sorry . sharon : well , what 's done is done . nick : she 's not going to say a word . sharon : why is that ? because she 's so into preserving other people 's privacy ? or is it because she respects me that much ? nick : look , i know she has put you through hell and there 's no love lost between the two of you , but , deep down , i believe she 's a good person , and she 's not going to say anything . sharon : make sure that she doesn't . | mariah continues to miss tessa and gets more worried when her bartender friend lindsay tells her about life on the road and her days as a roadie . sharon gets her port put in for her chemo therapy and phyllis sees the port and figures out sharon is sick . phyllis is deeply affected by this news and tells abby she has won the battle for chance 's heart because there are more important things in life . chance had told abby earlier that phyllis is out of his system and he wants to be with her . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] mariah : part of me wants to hate tanner for being this super - rich , talented , gorgeous rock star who swooped in and took tessa away from me . but part of me is really grateful that he 's giving her such a huge career - making break . stage 2 means the breast cancer is growing , but it 's still contained in the breast . sharon : what are my treatment options ? i would recommend chemotherapy and surgery . sharon : how lucky am i ? i look around this room , and i ca n't imagine a better group of people to get me through this . rey : oh , hey . mariah : thank you . sharon : so today 's the day i get my port installed . faith : that 's the funnel thingy with the tube attached to it , right ? sharon : yep . they attach a tube to one of my veins , and that just makes it easier for them to administer the medicine i need to take . faith : the chemo drugs ? sharon : exactly . faith : will it hurt ? sharon : not at all . faith : it wo n't take long , right ? you 'll be back by the time i get home from school ? sharon : yep . and you know what i need you to do , just to make this whole process easier for me ? faith : yes , anything . sharon : have a good day at school . focus on your work . have fun reconnecting with your friends , okay ? faith : will do . nick : all right . get you stuff . it 's time to go . faith : all right . i 'm almost ready . mariah : okay , so the pantry is stocked , the fridge just filled , your car 's all gassed up , and i did everything on your to - do list . so is there anything else you need me to do ?

sharon : like i 'm about to take a trip that i never wanted to take . but at least i 've got you guys . nick : whatever you need . sharon : hey , i want to thank you for letting me handle this my own way , for allowing me to just tell people when i 'm ready for them to know . that really means a lot to me . chance : i 'll take another look at your resume . once i contact your references , i 'll be in touch . thanks for coming by , rafael . abby : still looking for an applicant whose foot will fill the glass slipper ? chance : it 's hard work putting together a surveillance team . i mean , you need your tech experts , people who live to go undercover , your basic defense types who never back down from a complex situation ... abby : mm , sounds to me what you really need is an army of clones . chance : are you flirting with me ? abby : i 'm just saying , you 're looking for some dangerous nerds who can hack into a mainframe and set fire to your life in three easy steps . chance : something like that . abby : [ chuckles ] you 've gone from being a one - man security consultant to having a whole squadron of highly skilled professionals . chance : i like to think big . abby : and i would to hear more . [ giggles ] chance : i 'm sure you have more pressing things to do than to listen to my new and evolving business model . abby : i 'm all yours . chance : that 's hard to resist . and since it wo n't be a secret for much longer , i 'm just going to come out and tell you . your brother has hired me to set up the security system for new hope , so my team and i will provide security for vips and other events as needed , not to mention good old - fashioned sleuthing for both the internet and real world . abby : mm . busy boy . chance : yeah . abby : well , i wish you the best of luck in your endeavors , but i hope that does n't mean you 'll be too busy for ... extra curricular activities . phyllis : just the man i was looking for . chance : phyllis ! abby and i were just , uh ... phyllis : i was gon na text you , but then i realized that some things have to be said face to face . chance : i ... you did n't need to go through the trouble . phyllis : last night was amazing . i 'm sorry about the interruption . chance : completely understandable . phyllis : i hope i managed to make it worth your while . chance : [ chuckles ] um ... abby : [ chuckles ] chance : how 's your daughter ? phyllis : she 's okay . she 'll get through this . we always do . mariah : hey , tessa . it 's me , again . i 'm just here at society about to get a quick bite with that singer that i told you about , but , other than that , nothing really going on . it 's hard to get to sleep without you stealing the covers , and , uh , nobody leaves empty food containers in the -- in the fridge . i just miss you , and i really ... really need to stop spilling my guts out on voicemail . um , anyway , have fun . i love you and , uh , i 'll see you soon . i 'm you number - one fan . lindsay ? what the -- what are you doing here ? lindsay : hey you . small world . tanner : something 's turning it 's twisting me i feel it burnin ' consuming me tessa : that sounds nice . tanner : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to wake you . tessa : i just took the best nap of my life . i 'm on your private jet flying to another gig where i open up for one of the hottest singers in the country . and you 're sorry for what ? making my dreams come true ? actually , scratch that , because the life that i 'm living right now is better than any fantasy i ever could have dreamed up . sharon : noah . how many times do i have to tell you ?

rey : you handled it like a champion . sharon : poor noah . he 's really feeling left out of the loop . rey : yeah , but this is your show , you get to call the shots . let people know what you need . sharon : i 'm ready to get this over with . let 's get this show on the road . rey : let 's do it . mwah ! come on . additional sponsorship mariah : what are you doing here ? lindsay : i could ask you the same thing . my best friend 's wife is the chef , and i 'm absolutely crazy about her paella . lindsay : oh ! i got to try that . mariah : did you stop tending bar at the match box ? lindsay : oh , this place pays way more . you know , classier clientele , i 'm hoping it 'll translate into better tips . mariah : definitely . wow , i ca n't believe it . lindsay : i know , right ? i thought maybe you 'd moved out of town , or something . i have n't seen you in a long time . mariah : nope . i 'm still around . lindsay : just hanging out in nicer establishments ? mariah : well , that 's , uh -- that 's kind of tessa 's fault . you know . lindsay : oh . mariah : we spend most of our time at home binge - watching everything . until she went on tour . lindsay : mm . nice . well , what can i get you ?

if you 're not busy tessa : orbit me tanner : if you 're not busy tessa : orbit me if you 're not busy tessa : orbit me if you 're not busy rey : do n't you think it would be a good idea to let somebody else look after this place ? sharon : no , i 'm fine . rey : well , the doctor said you might be sore and need some rest . sharon : do i look like i 'm going to break if i pour a couple of pots of coffee ? rey : you 're one of the toughest people i know , but ... lindsay : listen . i have a business to run , okay ? i 'm fine . brownies need to be baked . i have bills to pay . rey : okay , fine . i 'll stay and help . sharon : no . you will go . the procedure really was n't all that big of a deal , okay ? i love that you love me enough to want to know that i 'm okay , but we both have jobs that we love . so you go and do yours , and i 'll just stay here and do mine . rey : if you promise me one thing .... sharon : i promise that i will not bench press any heavy furniture while you 're gone . okay ?

[ clears throat ] what does a girl have to do to get a cup of coffee around here ? sharon : uh , just ask . phyllis : well , consider this a request . rey : hey . it 's me . any chance that you 're free ? there 's something i need to talk to you about . it 's -- it 's important . abby : i am dying to know what phyllis did on your date to make it worth your while . chance : phyllis is ... 90 % flash and glitter . the rest is ... the unexpected . abby : mm . is that a good thing or bad ? chance : she 's ... complicated . abby : look , i know she was just trying to be provocative , making it seem like the two of you ... chance : we didn't . what 's that smile for ? abby : no , i -- i like the view from up here . taking the high road , the catbird seat . it gives me a shiny new perspective . chance : you 're really enjoying this . abby : are n't you ? chance : i 'm just curious . how far are you willing to take this ? lindsay : hey ! how 'd that meeting go ? mariah : sort and sweet , just the way i like it . it was with a singer- songwriter who 's been following tessa 's career and wants my company to give her the same backing and exposure . lindsay : it sounds exciting . mariah : it is , but ... i do n't know , tessa -- she 's one of a kind , you know ? her sound , her look ... her everything . she went from writing songs on our fire escape to playing small clubs around town , and now she 's taking her talents across the country . i mean , this is the kind of tour that could really help her catch fire , you know ? lindsay : there 's -- there 's something you 're leaving out . mariah : i am ? lindsay : you have n't said one word about you , and it 's written all over your face . i mean , it 's in your body language . you 're hiding something . you can tell me . or i 'll just promise to keep digging until i figure it out . mariah : it 's complicated . lindsay : okay . spill . phyllis : oh , what is that ? this is a new dark roast that i think you 're gon na love , especially on a day like today . phyllis : great . i think . sharon : so , how 's summer ? phyllis : uh , good . taking life by the horns . sharon : mm . it 's funny , you know ? one minute , they 're building sand castles , and the next , they 're working 12-hour shifts . it 's just amazing , is n't it ? phyllis : yeah . sharon : mm . phyllis : what ? wait . what hap -- what is that ? sharon : what ? what ? phyllis : um ... the bandage . did you get a tattoo ? sharon : yeah . yep . um ... rey 's badge number . it just hurt like hell , but , you know , the things we do for love , right ? rey : so thanks for meeting me here . paul : well , you said it was important . rey : it is . paul : okay . it 's not about that armed robbery case you just closed , is it ? rey : no . paul : good , 'cause that was some , uh -- some solid police work . rey : yeah , well , i could n't have done it without peterson and jimmy and the rest of the guys . paul : i 'm just glad you 're back on the force . you have proven yourself to be , uh , quite a leader . good work ethic , principle . it 's rubbing off on everybody . rey : [ chuckles ] well , maybe i should be asking for a raise instead of the real reason i asked you here . paul : okay . so , what 's up ? rey : i 'm hoping to ... lighten the load . maybe hand off some of my cases to the other detectives . paul : okay . i mean , if you feel like you 're hitting a wall or you 're getting burned out , we do have people you could talk to . rey : thanks , chief , but this is , um ... paul : i 'm barking up the wrong tree ? okay . you need a break . i get that . so ... are you at least going to tell me what it 's about ? discomfort back there ? tanner : what you doing ? tessa : uh , i am teaching myself how to crochet a scarf for mariah . tanner : [ chuckles ] oh , man . tessa : uh , laugh all you want , but once i 'm finished , you 're gon na be amazed . tanner : i 'm not laughing . i 'm just thinking about my girlfriend . tessa : about how you 'll be in the doghouse when she sees this gorgeous scarf ? and you did n't make her one ? well , lucky for you , i always travel with an extra crochet hook . tanner : she 's , um ... more the designer label type . she 's nothing like you . tessa : what , did i break your heart when we got divorced , so you had to find the opposite of me ? tanner : no , she 's just , uh ... regular . tessa : well , you 're probably offbeat enough both of you . tanner : yeah , um , i guess you 're right . we make it work . lindsay : so ... this friend of yours ... mariah : she has a secret . she is very intent on keeping it from the world and hates when anyone helps her . and i feel like my hands are tied . lindsay : well , it 's a good thing you came to me because bartenders know the secret to life . mariah : [ chuckles ] okay , so what do i do ? lindsay : we ca n't control who we are or what the narrative will be when we reveal our secrets , right ? i mean , there 's people that will accept you no matter what , but then there 's people who will make assumptions , you know , they know the first five minutes of your story , and they think they know how your movie 's gon na end . so this person you 're protecting , is she good ? mariah : to the core . lindsay : is this ride - or - die situation ? mariah : absolutely . lindsay : then it 's easy . you cover for her because you know she do the same thing for you . what she needs to know is that she can depend on you , trust you . so keep her safe until she feels strong enough to face the world alone . mariah : wow . that 's some very good advice . lindsay : well , it sounds like you 're being a really great friend , which is pretty cool . everyone could use someone like you in their corner . it 's a tough job , but ... you 're a bad - ass . you can handle it . sharon : school 's out already ? how was your first day back ? faith : well , the best part was my last class was a free periods , so i got to leave early . sharon : lucky you . faith : so i ran over here to find out how ... sharon : um , shh , shh . phyllis : hey , faith ! faith : ... see when those brownies are gon na be ready . sharon : um , any minute now . you have impeccable timing . [ chuckles ] phyllis : good to see you . i thought you 'd be back at boarding school . faith : oh , well , change of plans . phyllis : oh ! i 'm surprised that nick did n't say anything to me when i saw him last . faith : it was kind of a last - minute thing , right , mom ? sharon : yeah , you know , i missed her . empty nest syndrome , you know ? it 's rough , so i figured i 'd keep her close by till she goes off to college . phyllis : [ chuckles ] sharon : can i get you anything ? phyllis : yes , a refill . sharon : that would be my pleasure . phyllis : thank you . there you go . now , i can bring you a whole carafe , if you 'd like . phyllis : oh , no , that 's unnecessary . sharon : all right . if there 's anything else you need ... if you 'd like a fresh brownie from the oven , just let me know . phyllis : okay . will do . good to see you . sharon : oh ! nick : hey . you okay ? sharon : yeah . i 'm fine . nick : yeah ? okay , good . sharon : yeah . faith : i 'm gon na go get started on my homework . nick : okay . excuse me . hey . phyllis : hey yourself . nick : i did n't know you were here . phyllis : well , you clearly only had eyes for sharon . what 's going on ? nick : nothing . we 're just excited faith 's back . we 're , you know , busy trying to get her settled back into walnut grove . phyllis : uh , it 's okay . i know . nick : you know what ? phyllis : i know what 's going on with sharon . nick : i do n't know what you 're talking about . phyllis : yes , you do . i mean , the way you guys are hovering all over her . obviously that ... it means she 's going through something -- a major health crisis -- and she does n't want anyone to know . oh , my god . i 'm right . you too , have a great day . bye , bye . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nick : whatever you think you know , you don't . sharon is fine . sharon : she does n't want anyone to know . nick : there 's nothing to know . phyllis : oh , wow , this is serious . nick : you 're wrong about this , phyllis . phyllis : do n't lie to me . the three of you were over there acting like mourners at a funeral , and please do n't tell me it 's because she burned the brownies . who else knows ? nick : there 's nothing to know . phyllis : what can i do ? nick : you want to help ? phyllis : yeah . nick : get up . keep your mouth shut and walk out of here because you do n't know anything . sharon : you told her . paul : you know , if something 's going on with you , you can feel free to talk to me about it . rey : mm . you know , it 's a personal matter . paul : okay . you know , i do n't -- i do n't mean to pry , but ... you 're okay , right ? i mean , health - wise . rey : no , i 'm good . i 'm good . it 's just -- it 's something i got to put all my attention to . paul : but you do n't want to share the details . rey : uh , not for now , at least . paul : family comes first , always . [ laughs ] you think i got this job because of my good looks ? listen , whatever you need -- you need of a change of shift , you want me to spread the workload around . it 's done . rey : and this will stay just between us ? paul : that goes without saying . abby : well , i am sorry for that interruption . back to our conversation . you were saying ? chance : you 're interested in me . there 's a certain chemistry here . am i right ? abby : you 're not wrong . chance : yet you encouraged me to go on a date with another woman . that 's very adult and sophisticated of you . abby : well , some things need to be experienced firsthand . phyllis is one of them . chance : well , i must admit , i did have a good time with her . abby : glad to hear it . chance : surprisingly good , considering the fact that she 's always trying to work an angle . abby : well , that 's what you get with phyllis . chance : but what i want to know ... is what you think about all this . and , before you answer , you should know that i am fully willing and capable to administer a polygraph . so be honest . abby : why would i lie ? chance : oh , i do n't know . you 've been hurt before . maybe you -- maybe you 're happy when you 're with me . you just do n't trust it . it 's too ... risky . maybe you would lie to protect yourself . but i just want you to know that ... you do n't have to do that with me . abby : honestly ? i like you . chance : good . because i like you , too . abby : but if you 're interested in phyllis ... chance : i am right here , right now , putting it all on the line for you , abby newman . look , i appreciate your level of sophistication , wanting me to get phyllis out of my system . i 'm done . since i 've decided to stay here in genoa city , there is so much that i want to do and see . all i want to do it all ... with you . look , i 'm happy the way that my evening ended with phyllis , and when it did . it let me know exactly what it is that i want . i want you , abby . are you gon na say something , or do i have to draw you a picture ? abby : crystal - clear . chance : wow . [ cellphone chimes ] abby : um ... i 'm sorry , you should probably get that . chance : yeah . i probably should . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . abby : do n't be . i 'll make sure we pick up right where we left off . [ ringing continues ] chance : i 'm sorry . hello ? she 's asking questions , huh ? keep tailing her . i want to know every move that she makes and everyone she 's in contact with , you got me ? good . be in touch . abby : hey ! i was just thinking about you . it should n't come as a shock that the more time chance spent with you , the less interested he was , just as i predicted . phyllis : uh ... yeah , congratulations . excuse me . abby : chance made his choice . you 're looking at her . phyllis : i hope you 're very happy together . i got to go . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you do n't just walk away . this is n't you . so what kind of tricks do you have up your sleeve this time ? lindsay : hey . you done with business for the day ? mariah : uh , yeah , just phone calls and e - mails left . lindsay : then let me make you my newest masterpiece . i call it ... `` freedom . `` just a couple of sips , and you 'll be breaking down your walls , speaking from your heart , and doing things you 'd never imagine . mariah : mm , i probably shouldn't . lindsay : you should try it sometime . i 'll be right back . mariah : [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] lindsay : hey ! mariah : what ? lindsay : what the heck happened ? i leave for two seconds , and your whole world goes lopsided ? and do n't tell me you 're okay because you 're far from okay right now . what 's up ? abby : you 're just admitting defeat without a fight , throwing in the towel . phyllis : okay , sure . if that 's what you want to call it , great . yeah . abby : what are you up to ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i 'm not up to anything , abby . i 'm not planning a sneak attack . okay ? abby : which is exactly what you would say if you were trying to throw me off the scent . phyllis : the only thing that stinks here is that you do n't believe me . you won , okay ? it 's over . the game 's over . you won . take your toys and go , okay ? abby : wait a second . are you the one that called chance a few minutes ago ? phyllis : no , i am not . abby : then did you get someone else to call him , pretend there was some sort of emergency that he had to deal with ? that way , he had to leave ? phyllis : chance is the last thing on my mind right now . but you did text him when i was sitting next to him -- phyllis : oh , my god ! i am not interested in him . i am not interested in your boy scout . why do n't you get that ? abby : because it 's not like you to just give up . phyllis : it 's over ! you won , abby ! okay ? i 'm taking myself out of the game . it 's just -- abby : it 's just what ? phyllis : there are more important things in the world , more important things and people than you ! and me . nick : i did not say a word to phyllis . sharon : then how did she find out ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she saw that -- your port bandage . sharon : yeah , she did see it , and i made a joke about it and then changed the subject . nick : what kind of joke ? sharon : i said i got a new tattoo . nick : all right , and you expected her to believe that ? look , i know you do n't like phyllis , but she 's not a complete idiot . all right ? maybe she overheard you . maybe she picked up on something else that helped her put it together . sharon : what she does is run her mouth . nick : well , it does n't really matter how she found out , right ? sharon : it matters to me . you ca n't go around telling people . nick : i did n't say anything . faith : what 's wrong ? what happened ? nick : nothing . it 's all good . faith : mom ? sharon : we were just talking about whether you 're old enough to babysit . nick : oh , well .... yeah , yeah . i totally am . that 's not the point . mom , you ca n't be getting worked up about things . it 's our job to make sure she 's completely zen . no troubles . no worries . just deep breaths , both of you . sharon : [ breathes deeply ] nick : [ exhales sharply ] faith : see how easy that was ? forgive , forget , and move on . sharon : what would i do without you ? faith : so everything 's fine ? sharon : it will be . right , nick ? because that is what you promised . nick : yep . it 's fine . what 's up with tammy ? mariah : everything is fine . lindsay : look , i 'm the best bartender in town , if i do say so myself . so i can make you a drink that 'll help you forget or maybe make it seem better . or i could just listen . so ... tell me what 's broken , and how can we fix it ? you and your girl ? mariah : we 're fine . lindsay : she 's just being distant ? mariah : well , she is distant . she 's in a completely different time zone , but ... we 're stronger than we ever have been , and i fully support the new journey she 's on . lindsay : so then explain why you were looking at your phone like it was threatening to destroy your life . mariah : that 's very funny . i wasn't . i was just looking at a text lindsay : mm - hmm . from tessa ? mariah : no , from tanner . lindsay : tanner ? as it tanner watts ? wait , that 's who she 's on tour with ? mariah : yep . she 's his new opening act . lindsay : that 's incredible . mariah : yeah . it 's great , you know ? she gets to fly all around on his private jet , and she 's playing to thousands of fans every night , and ... it 's great . lindsay : hell , yeah . it 's just we keep ... missing each other . lindsay : yeah , i mean , i know -- i know how crazy it can be on the road . i was a roadie for a little bit , and the stories i could tell you ... i mean , it would curl your hair . the parties , the pranks , the -- the one - night stands ... mariah : i 'm sorry , what ? lindsay : you know , going into one town and playing for one night , and then picking up and leaving , and then there 's also the other kind , obviously , with all those creative people being stuck together all day , and , you know , all night . the hookups that you would never , ever expect , that -- but that was a long time ago . that was -- i mean , it was a -- it was a different music scene , you know ? we were like crammed into these little tour buses . it 's way different than , you know , jetting around on some cushy private plane . that -- that sounds downright civilized . mariah : yeah . lindsay : i 'm sure you have nothing to worry about . mariah : i 'm not worried . i 'm not worried . i just miss her so much , and it 's hard being apart this long , that 's all . lindsay : well you got to love with an open hand . and stop checking your phone every five minutes . she 's out there living her life . live yours . phyllis : just let me be , please . please . i do n't want to talk about this . abby : what are the more important things that you 're focused on right now ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i ca n't talk about it . wow , you -- you are keeping your mouth shut . i thought you were genetically incapable . phyllis : what you do n't know about me could fill a book , abby . several books . i really want to do the right thing . what i do know is that something 's up . you do n't have to tell me now but it 'll come out eventually . it always does . nick : i would never tell phyllis what you 're up against . sharon : okay , she did n't know , and then after a few minutes of commiserating with you , she seemed pretty up to speed . all right , look , i do n't want to argue about this . nick : i 'm sorry . sharon : well , what 's done is done . nick : she 's not going to say a word . sharon : why is that ? because she 's so into preserving other people 's privacy ? or is it because she respects me that much ? nick : look , i know she has put you through hell and there 's no love lost between the two of you , but , deep down , i believe she 's a good person , and she 's not going to say anything . sharon : make sure that she doesn't .Summarize.[/INST]mariah continues to miss tessa and gets more worried when her bartender friend lindsay tells her about life on the road and her days as a roadie . sharon gets her port put in for her chemo therapy and phyllis sees the port and figures out sharon is sick . phyllis is deeply affected by this news and tells abby she has won the battle for chance 's heart because there are more important things in life . chance had told abby earlier that phyllis is out of his system and he wants to be with her .</s> | 16,292 |
nicole : i 'm afraid you 're just not the right fit for the job . candy : what a surprise . nicole : what is that supposed to mean ? candy : the agency warned me about you . nicole : really ? [ scoffs ] what did they say ? candy : that i 'm the 16th highly qualified applicant you 've rejected , and that pope francis would n't live up to your standards . nicole : does he take transcription ? candy : do you ? look , it 's pretty clear that you ca n't stand the idea of anyone replacing you . are you sure you wan na leave ? brady : good morning . kristen : [ sighs ] brady : room service . it 's good . kristen : oh . brady : you up ? kristen : yeah . hi . brady : hi , how you doing ? kristen : wish i could say i was hungry . brady : would it make you feel better if i told you i just got off the phone with the hospital ? and chad is doing much better . he 's doing great . kristen : thank you . you 're the best . this is good . brady : i just wish i 'd been here for you . i 'm sorry . kristen : no , what , you had a business emergency . how were you supposed to know some nutcase was gon na shoot up sami and ej 's engagement party ? brady : i just keep thinking it could 've been you . if we had n't left when we did , it could 've been -- kristen : yeah . brady : it could 've been . kristen : apparently , marge bernardi kept saying that the dimeras never pay . it 's kinda true , is n't it ? but you know what i was thinking ? brady : what ? kristen : nobody 's luck holds out forever , does it ? the dimeras have been the reason a lot of people 's lives have been cursed in this town . maybe it 's our turn that we 're cursed . eric : may i speak with martha ? martha : speaking . eric : uh , this is father eric brady . i 'm not sure if you remember me . martha : you were carted out of here in an ambulance . it 's pretty hard to forget . eric : yes , well , i was hoping i could ask you a few questions . martha : actually , the desk clerk on duty that night was george . eric : yes , but i understand he 's moved to virginia . listen , martha , you were there that night . if you could help me , i 'd appreciate it . martha : i 'm sorry , father , but i ca n't . theresa : dr. dan 's got great taste in jewelry . too bad his taste in women is so lousy . anne : [ laughs ] we 'll cure him of that . hey , listen , you better put that away before he realizes he did n't lose it ... theresa : come on ! anne : from his o.r . locker after all . theresa : do n't worry . i wo n't lose it . oh . anne : oh , look who the cat dragged in . theresa : by the hair , facedown . anne : you know , her son 's arraignment 's today . theresa : well , poor jenn - jenn . hey , why do n't you come over here , let me make your day . anne : [ chuckles ] hope : oh , hey ! daniel : oh , hey . hope : hi . daniel : thank you for stopping by . hope : yeah , of course , absolutely . are you going to the arraignment today ? daniel : i would love to help jenn , but i just do n't wan na set jj off . hope : i think that 's wise . daniel : yeah , but if there is anything else i can do ... hope : [ sighs ] i really wish there were . daniel : you do n't seem very optimistic . what do you think is gon na happen to jj ? justin : good morning , jj . still want me to go to hell ? jj : are you gon na keep me out of prison or not ? abigail : hi , mom . jennifer : oh , hey , honey . how 's chad doing ? abigail : good . he 's sleeping . maxine said that he 'll be sedated for a while . jennifer : okay , and they 're expecting a full recovery . abigail : yeah . maxine also said that the only reason that chad is alive right now is because daniel fought so hard to save him . jennifer : well , chad fought very hard too . abigail : yeah , he did . jennifer : if you wan na stay here , that 's fine . abigail : no . mom , i -- of course i 'm gon na go with you to support jj at the court , and you . jennifer : yeah . theresa : oops ! sorry . abigail : wha -- is that daniel 's bracelet ? hope : today 's arraignment was scheduled to address the misdemeanor drug charge , but ... after jj 's rampage at the town square -- daniel : the d.a . tacked on additional charges . hope : assault and battery . and unfortunately , jj is not a juvenile anymore . daniel : do you think the judge will grant bail ? hope : well , i 'd be a lot more hopeful if we had n't drawn judge goldberg . daniel : why did you say that ? hope : because he 's the type of judge that hates the idea that young defendants from what -- well , what he considers privileged families might have a legal advantage . daniel : so you think judge goldberg is gon na take it upon himself to restore fairness to the criminal justice system ? hope : one case at a time . i 'm afraid he 's gon na make an example out of him , especially after he wiggled his way out of those shoplifting charges , and obviously did not learn his lesson . daniel : yeah , well , i know jj needs a wake - up call . he 's definitely getting one now . but this , it just seems unusually harsh , given the circumstances . hope : and it 's the last thing jennifer needs right now . daniel : yeah . i can only imagine what this is doing to her . hope : uh , daniel . there is , um ... you also need to be prepared . because when this goes to trial , you might be called as a witness for the prosecution . daniel : no . no , no , no . i 'm not gon na send jj to jail . hope : if you 're called to testify , you 're not gon na have a choice . you 're just gon na have to tell the truth about whatever you saw . daniel : but -- but -- hope : daniel , but there 's no `` buts `` here , okay ? listen to me . if jj goes to prison , it 's not your fault . daniel : no ? hope : no , it 's not . and whether you testify or you do n't testify , jj dug a huge hole for himself ... and it 's gon na be very hard , if not impossible , to get him out of it . justin : if you 'd stayed out of trouble , i 'd say your chances were pretty good of making bail . but now ... you could be stuck behind bars until trial . jj : it 's better than the street . justin : are you saying you 'd rather stay here ? jj : i really do n't care . justin : you need to start caring ! or you 're gon na be stuck behind bars a hell of a long time ! and when you do finally get out , you 'll be a felon for the rest of your life . jj : just like my dad . justin : you need to ask your cousin nick how easy his life has been this last year . jj : i ca n't -- ca n't change what i already did . justin : but you can change what you do next . all right ? do you understand ? you need to grow up , jj , and grow up fast . and , if you 're honest with yourself , i think you 'll admit that you 're being a total jackass ! jj : you know what , do n't lecture me about honesty . not when you and everyone in the family have been lying to me my whole damn life ! eric : only gon na need a few minutes of your time . martha : that 's not the problem . eric : then what is ? martha : after you and your friend were here asking questions again , my bosses started to worry about bad publicity , or maybe even a lawsuit . eric : i would never say anything . martha : we have been told to refer all questions to management . if you want their number ... eric : they ca n't help me . they were n't there the night that i got sick , you were , martha . martha , i 'm afraid something terrible happened to me that night . if i do n't find out soon , i think somebody else could get hurt ... maybe even worse than i was . brady : was n't it you that told me once that you did n't believe in curses ? i think you told me that . kristen : i did ? brady : i was talking to sami earlier . kristen : well , that just kinda proves my point , do n't you think ? i mean -- brady : sami makes bad choices . kristen : yeah , i 'll say . like shooting a man and killing m and then getting my brother taken out in retaliation . brady : all right , she had to make a split - second decision . i mean , it was either pull the trigger and save rafe 's life ... kristen : okay . brady : or ... i 'm sticking up for her . i think it was a gutsy move on her behalf . i mean , she did n't -- she did n't even think about what was gon na happen down the line . i mean , we 've all been there , have n't we ? kristen : i do n't know . i 've never shot a guy , have you ? brady : you know what i mean . come on , in life , sometimes we do the right thing and we get burned . and there 's other times where we just get away with crap when we should be destroyed for it . what 's wrong with you ?

kristen : yeah . hi . brady : hi , how you doing ? kristen : wish i could say i was hungry . brady : would it make you feel better if i told you i just got off the phone with the hospital ? and chad is doing much better . he 's doing great . kristen : thank you . you 're the best . this is good . brady : i just wish i 'd been here for you . i 'm sorry . kristen : no , what , you had a business emergency . how were you supposed to know some nutcase was gon na shoot up sami and ej 's engagement party ? brady : i just keep thinking it could 've been you . if we had n't left when we did , it could 've been -- kristen : yeah . brady : it could 've been . kristen : apparently , marge bernardi kept saying that the dimeras never pay . it 's kinda true , is n't it ?

martha : speaking . eric : uh , this is father eric brady . i 'm not sure if you remember me . martha : you were carted out of here in an ambulance . it 's pretty hard to forget . eric : yes , well , i was hoping i could ask you a few questions . martha : actually , the desk clerk on duty that night was george . eric : yes , but i understand he 's moved to virginia . listen , martha , you were there that night . if you could help me , i 'd appreciate it . martha : i 'm sorry , father , but i ca n't . theresa : dr. dan 's got great taste in jewelry . too bad his taste in women is so lousy . anne : [ laughs ] we 'll cure him of that . hey , listen , you better put that away before he realizes he did n't lose it ... theresa : come on ! anne : from his o.r . locker after all . theresa : do n't worry . i wo n't lose it . oh . anne : oh , look who the cat dragged in . theresa : by the hair , facedown . anne : you know , her son 's arraignment 's today . theresa : well , poor jenn - jenn . hey , why do n't you come over here , let me make your day . anne : [ chuckles ] hope : oh , hey ! daniel : oh , hey . hope : hi . daniel : thank you for stopping by . hope : yeah , of course , absolutely . are you going to the arraignment today ?

hope : today 's arraignment was scheduled to address the misdemeanor drug charge , but ... after jj 's rampage at the town square -- daniel : the d.a . tacked on additional charges . hope : assault and battery . and unfortunately , jj is not a juvenile anymore . daniel : do you think the judge will grant bail ? hope : well , i 'd be a lot more hopeful if we had n't drawn judge goldberg . daniel : why did you say that ? hope : because he 's the type of judge that hates the idea that young defendants from what -- well , what he considers privileged families might have a legal advantage . daniel : so you think judge goldberg is gon na take it upon himself to restore fairness to the criminal justice system ? hope : one case at a time . i 'm afraid he 's gon na make an example out of him , especially after he wiggled his way out of those shoplifting charges , and obviously did not learn his lesson . daniel : yeah , well , i know jj needs a wake - up call . he 's definitely getting one now . but this , it just seems unusually harsh , given the circumstances . hope : and it 's the last thing jennifer needs right now . daniel : yeah . i can only imagine what this is doing to her . hope : uh , daniel . there is , um ... you also need to be prepared . because when this goes to trial , you might be called as a witness for the prosecution . daniel : no . no , no , no . i 'm not gon na send jj to jail . hope : if you 're called to testify , you 're not gon na have a choice . you 're just gon na have to tell the truth about whatever you saw . daniel : but -- but -- hope : daniel , but there 's no `` buts `` here , okay ? listen to me . if jj goes to prison , it 's not your fault . daniel : no ? hope : no , it 's not . and whether you testify or you do n't testify , jj dug a huge hole for himself ... and it 's gon na be very hard , if not impossible , to get him out of it . justin : if you 'd stayed out of trouble , i 'd say your chances were pretty good of making bail . but now ... you could be stuck behind bars until trial . jj : it 's better than the street . justin : are you saying you 'd rather stay here ? jj : i really do n't care . justin : you need to start caring ! or you 're gon na be stuck behind bars a hell of a long time ! and when you do finally get out , you 'll be a felon for the rest of your life . jj : just like my dad . justin : you need to ask your cousin nick how easy his life has been this last year . jj : i ca n't -- ca n't change what i already did . justin : but you can change what you do next . all right ? do you understand ? you need to grow up , jj , and grow up fast . and , if you 're honest with yourself , i think you 'll admit that you 're being a total jackass ! jj : you know what , do n't lecture me about honesty . not when you and everyone in the family have been lying to me my whole damn life ! eric : only gon na need a few minutes of your time . martha : that 's not the problem . eric : then what is ? martha : after you and your friend were here asking questions again , my bosses started to worry about bad publicity , or maybe even a lawsuit . eric : i would never say anything . martha : we have been told to refer all questions to management . if you want their number ... eric : they ca n't help me . they were n't there the night that i got sick , you were , martha . martha , i 'm afraid something terrible happened to me that night . if i do n't find out soon , i think somebody else could get hurt ... maybe even worse than i was . brady : was n't it you that told me once that you did n't believe in curses ?

[ scoffs ] that 's all they got ? rey : i know . this waiting around sucks . but ... i trust nate . i have to . what other choice do we have ? arturo : [ sighs ] what about , uh , you know , the -- the detectives ? do they have any -- any leads on who might have done this to her ? rey : no , they 're keeping me out of the loop . they think i might mess things up because of my personal connection . arturo : meaning you want to hurt the guy that did this to our sister . rey : i 'm gon na head down to the station , see if i can find out anything unofficially . will you ... ? arturo : yeh , yeah . as soon as i hear anything , i 'll let you know . rey : thank you . kyle : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship rey : uh ... hey . uh ... i was just ... looking for a pen that works . you know , these -- these budget cuts are killer . eddie : a pen . that the best you can do ? rey : look , just give me a glimpse , eddie . two minutes with her file . i - i got to know who attacked her , man . eddie : rules are there for a reason , man . i 'll be writing parking tickets if i break them . rey : no , no , no , no , no . i will leave your name out of it , i - i swear . eddie : i 'm sorry . rey : look , this is my kid sister we 're talking about here . you 've seen her come in here , bringing me lunch , nagging me to eat . she -- she did n't deserve this . eddie : [ sighs ] i wish i could help you . summer : okay , are you seriously gon na blame me for what happened to lola ? abby : all i 'm saying is , maybe you should think about why you went to the cabin in the first place . summer : no need . i know why . abby : and you still think it was a good idea ? summer : no , i think it was a great idea . kyle thought so , too . abby : i seriously doubt that . summer : okay , that 's because you were n't there . you did n't see us get to go on a sleigh ride together , go ice skating . we sat by the fire and had champagne . it was perfect . until lola showed up . abby : for a valentine 's getaway that he had planned for the two of them . summer : okay , and she turned him down . neither of us were expecting to see her at the cabin , and neither of us were happy about it . abby : is that why kyle has been freaking out every second since he found lola in our pool ? summer : okay , kyle 's just not thinking clearly right now . abby : he was n't thinking clearly when he went to the cabin ! he was heartbroken over breaking up with lola . [ scoffs ] which would be a big red flag for any non - narcissistic person . summer : wow , you almost said that without any irony . abby : that 's the difference between you and me . i regret what i did with austin . summer : oh , okay . yeah , no , we 're all good , then . you tell me that you 're sorry for sleeping with my husband . can you say `` hypocrite `` ? abby : just because i made a mistake does n't mean that you have to . summer : i am not making a mistake , abby . kyle and lola are n't married . they 're not even a couple . he 's fair game . abby : do you even care about kyle ? or do you just want him because someone else has him ? summer : okay , if you 're referring to sleeping beauty -- abby : lola is going to wake up . and when she does , she and kyle are gon na work things out . when that happens , then will you back off ? summer : no . arturo : i 'll be back . nate : hey , you can not go in there . kyle : five minutes . that 's all i ask . nate : no . no , no , no , no , no , no , no . kyle : [ sighs ] nate : lola 's brothers made it perfectly clear that you 're not allowed in there . kyle : but they 're not here . they 'll never know you let me in . nate : i could lose my hospital privileges for something like that . kyle : i 'm not trying to get you in trouble . nate : thank you . kyle : but i 'm begging you , man . this is n't just about me . she needs to know i 'm here , that i love her . nate : i wish i could help you . she 's your patient , right ? nate : yeah . kyle : then you want what 's best for her . nate : if i could let you in , i would . kyle : [ sighs ] is there anything i could say to persuade you to let me in ? nate : talk to rey and arturo . they 're the ones you need to persuade . ah . kyle : [ sighs ] rey : [ inaudible ] devon : oh , yeah . i thought ana killed it the other night , too . not any time soon . she , uh ... she wants to stay retired , was her words . oh , of course i did , yeah . i offered her a signing bonus , creative control , advance on all sales , and she does not want it . mm - hmm . yeah . i 'm gon na have to take a loss on this one , i think . [ chuckles ] well , hey , let me know if you come up with anything . okay . i 'll talk to you later . you 're probably wondering who that was about . that was the third agent calling who 's dying to sign you . ana : i found us some more artists to listen to . devon : did you really ? are they better than you ? ana : give me a break , devon . devon : i 'm trying to give you a break . you wo n't let me do it . ana : if this is how you repay a favor , next time , i wo n't even bother . devon : oh , hey , why you gon na be like that ? you brought down the house with your voice , and i 'm a record producer , so you tell me how i should respond to you . ana : you 're also my brother . so a , `` hey , sis , thanks for saving my butt , `` would be good . devon : you know that i appreciate what you did . ana : be nice to hear it instead of you pressuring me all the time . devon : oh , okay . all right . i 'm just trying to figure you out , because when you were a kid , you would have done anything to have this opportunity , and now you have it . ana : i 'm not a kid anymore . i 've changed . so have my dreams . songwriting is my passion now . and if you 're interested , i 'd love to team up with you on that . devon : well , you know i 'm interested . but i 'm not going to promise that i 'm not gon na try and get you to record something in the future . i ca n't do that . ana : oh , my gosh . you 're relentless . devon : i am relentless . that 's a good title of a song . you should write one about me and how cool i am . [ chuckles ] ana : oh , no , it would just be the same lyrics over and over again . who 'd want to listen to that ? devon : well , hey , what rhymes with `` relentless `` ? stupendous . tremendous rhymes with it . ana : stay out of my business devon : that 's even better . use that . ana : it 's not . devon : use them all . ana : no , it 's -- it 's terrible . devon : just sing something . ana : why do n't you sing something ? devon : i am not the singer . [ both laughing ] nobody want to hear me . mariah : did michael say why ? tessa : she 's trying to figure out what 's going on with sharon . mariah : well , somebody must know the reason why phyllis is out and the others aren't . okay . just , um , let me know as soon as you hear anything . all right . thanks , nick . bye . hi . [ sighs ] kyle : hi . [ sighs ] sorry about everything going on with your mom . mariah : thank you . tessa : so , what did you find out ? mariah : well , nick does n't know why phyllis is out and the others are n't , and phyllis claims that she does n't know , either . kyle : knowing phyllis , she probably got her lawyer to pull some strings with the d.a . mariah : no , see , that 's the weirdest thing . phyllis did n't hire an attorney . and `` hate `` does n't begin to describe what christine williams feels for phyllis , so it 's not like she would do her any favors . kyle : hmm . tessa : this does n't make any sense . kyle : [ scoffs ] seems to be a recurring theme . i 'm still trying to figure out how lola ended up unconscious in my pool . mariah : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . i should have -- i should have asked . how is she doing ? kyle : still has n't woken up . [ sighs ] that 's about all i know . mariah : well , i 'm surprised you 're not at the hospital right now . kyle : just came from there . they wo n't let me see her , wo n't give me any information about her condition . tessa : why not ? kyle : i 'm not family . tessa : okay , so , ask her brothers what 's going on . kyle : [ chuckles ] they 're the ones freezing me out . mariah : what the hell ? you ca n't let them get away with that . kyle : bad as i want to see her , i do n't blame them for trying to keep me away . mariah : kyle , this was not your fault . kyle : look , i screwed up . i kept letting summer hang around . i knew what she wanted , and i knew what it was doing to lola . i should have ... damn it ! why did i let her into the cabin ? i 'm an idiot . now lola 's paying the price for my stupidity . mariah : kyle -- hey , kyle ! summer : okay , if you see kyle , will you please tell him i 'm looking for him ? abby : have you heard anything i just said to you ? summer : okay , never mind . i 'll just look for him myself . abby : what are you hoping to gain by throwing yourself at kyle ? summer : kyle . kyle is what i want . abby : you have no idea how furious he is with you . i mean , he 's not even taking your calls , which is why you had to show up here looking for him . summer : he 's going through a lot right now . okay ? he blames himself for what happened to lola . abby : he is worried sick about lola . summer : and it 's all just guilt . even though it is not kyle 's fault for what happened to lola , i respect him for sticking by her through this . abby : oh . [ scoffs ] but deep down inside , he 's in love with you ? he just has n't told you that ? summer : oh , my god . kyle is not going to admit that he has feelings for me when lola is fighting for her life . abby : oh , my god . summer : not to himself , even . but i know that he does . abby : [ sighs ] summer : and you know what , so do you , or else you would n't be trying to keep me away from him . [ doorbell rings ] oh , my god . it 's rey rosales . that 's just what i need . abby : rey is just as worried about lola as the rest of us . summer : yeah , fine . then just wish him my best . actually , don't . i 'm gon na go through the back door . abby : rey , hi . come on in . rey : hey . abby : is there news on lola ? rey : uh , she 's still unconscious , and the doctors are saying now that there may be a problem with her liver . abby : oh , no . rey : dr. hastings is keeping an eye on it . um ... i wanted to ask you some more questions about the night of lola 's attack , if you have a few minutes . abby : yeah , o - of course . was n't someone else here ? abby : summer , yeah . she -- she just left . rey : kyle 's summer ? abby : [ scoffs ] she wishes . they were together off and on for years , and , well , lately , she 's been working overtime to make it on again . it 's just , nothing she 's been doing has been working . rey : hmm . she must not be very happy about that . kyle : abby said you wanted to see me . where is she ? rey : i wanted to talk to you alone . kyle : about lola ? rey : yeah . kyle : have you changed your mind about letting me see her ? rey : lola can decide if she wants to see you when she wakes up . kyle : well , then , she 's getting better . rey : i anted to put together a time line of the events that happened the night lola was attacked . kyle : i told the other guy working the case everything i know . rey : walk me through it again . kyle : uh ... [ sighs ] lola came up to my family 's cabin , and summer was there . i tried to tell her there was nothing going on between us . rey : [ clicks tongue ] she did n't believe you ? kyle : she got mad and left . summer and i argued , and then i went after lola . she 's not used to driving in the snow , so i caught up to her . rey : abby and arturo said that you showed up to the club shortly after she did . kyle : i wanted to explain . but she ... would n't listen . rey : what happened ? kyle : i - i -- i left . rey : you told detective north in your statement that , after you left the club , you `` drove around for a while to clear your head . `` kyle : that 's right . rey : where ? kyle : i do n't know . uh ... just ... just around . the neighborhood . rey : who 's neighborhood ? summer 's ? kyle : whoa , what ? no ! rey : why do you seem so surprised that i 'd ask that ? i mean , that is your m.o . , is n't it ? after lola dumps you , you turn to summer . tessa : no luck ? mariah : the desk clerk said that rey is in charge of the j.t . hellstrom case , and he 's out of the office . tessa : probably at the hospital . mariah : i can not think of anybody else who would know why my mom , nikki , and victoria are locked up , and phyllis isn't . tessa : i can . mariah : you got to be freaking kidding me . tessa : it might be a blessing in disguise . mariah : no . i 'm -- [ scoffs ] i 'm not feeling it . tessa : it 's your call . mariah : [ sighs ] okay . hey . summer : hey . mariah : must be a big relief that your mom is out of jail . summer : oh , my gosh , yeah . it 's huge . i just hope that my grandma and aunt vicki get out soon . and -- and sharon , of course . mariah : of course . um , look , i talked to nick earlier , and he said that he did n't know why phyllis was out and the others weren't . summer : no , me neither . mariah : do n't you think that 's kind of weird ? summer : no , not necessarily . i mean , my mom did n't have anything to do with j.t . 's death . mariah : are you saying that my mom did ? summer : well , she is still locked up . mariah : so are nikki and victoria . summer : okay , you know , i think that we can agree that the cops screwed up , and obviously my mom was able to make them see that where she was concerned . and maybe she 's just a little smarter and more forceful than sharon is . mariah : here 's another possibility -- maybe she 's a backstabbing bitch who sold out the others to save herself . summer : wow . you know , it 's such a shame . you have n't even known sharon that long , and you 're already picking up her nasty habit of blaming my mom for everything . must really be genetics . tessa : is everything okay over here ? mariah : peachy . summer : yeah , you know , actually , i was gon na ask mariah if she 's seen kyle . tessa : he left . mariah : [ scoffs ] summer : i keep missing him . mariah : yeah . it 's a shame that was n't the case at the cabin . devon : all right . we can put a pin in the whole `` you getting back onstage `` discussion . ana : thank you . devon : for now . 'cause i 'm gon na want to talk about it again . ana : fair enough . devon : good . nate : good morning , good morning . ana : hey . devon : hey , nate . how 's it going , man ? nate : good , good . just figured i 'd get out of the hospital for a little bit , grab something to eat to go . devon : yeah . the food 's not cutting it there for you ? nate : no comment . devon : [ chuckles ] nate : what are you guys up to ? ana : breakfast meeting . devon : yeah . we 're trying to find a replacement for fen baldwin . nate : you 're not thinking about letting him go , are you ? ana : no . nate : all right . 'cause the kid 's talented . ana : yeah , that 's why we sent him on tour -- so he could hone his skills . the raw talent is there , he just needs to be more disciplined . right ? devon : i mean , i think he needs to grow up a little bit , and get some more music and life experience . that 's what i think . ana : yeah , you have to have a certain level of maturity , sensitivity , before you can really touch people 's hearts with your music . devon : mm . god ! i wish i was related to somebody who had that . ana : stop it . devon : [ laughs ] ana : i told you like 10 times i 'm not interested in performing anymore . devon : i know what you said . nate : well , i am not going to get in the middle of this . devon : that 's smart . nate : yeah . all right . i 'll see you two later . ana : see ya . devon : take care , man . nate : all right . yeah . ana : if we 're gon na go see lola , we should get going , too . devon : yep . yeah . sure . [ sighs ] ana : devon , what 's going on ? devon : nothing 's going on . ana : devon . devon : [ sighs ] um ... it 's gon na be a little difficult going to the hospital for the first time since hilary 's passed away . ana : ohhh . oh , man . i 'm an idiot . i 'm so sorry . devon : you 're not an idiot . ana : devon , i did n't think . devon : it 's okay . ana : so much for sensitivity . devon : it 's fine . i 'm , uh ... i 'm gon na be okay . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . summer : hey , i know that you think that kyle arbffs , but i have known him way longer than you have . mariah : so that gives you permission to ruin his life ? summer : hey , i had every right to go see kyle that night at the cabin . lola broke up with him , and i was trying to cheer him up . mariah : oh , is that what the cool kids are calling it these days ? summer : he was down about the breakup , and i was only trying to make him feel better . mariah : well , summer , you 're doing a great job , because his girlfriend 's in the hospital , and her family wo n't let him see her . so [ claps ] congratulations . summer : wait , why wo n't let lola 's brothers let kyle see her ? mariah : because they think that he cheated on her with you , you dumb -- tessa : hey ! look , it does n't matter why arturo and rey wo n't let kyle see lola , okay ? they 're doing it . summer : okay , no , this is unfair . kyle did not cheat with me . lola broke up with him . tessa : yeah , because she was tired of dealing with you , summer ! summer : kyle must be devastated . mariah : you know what , if you 're thinking of cheering him up , don't . abby : ana and devon are going to visit lola at the hospital . summer : hey . why did n't you tell me that lola 's brothers would n't let kyle see her ? arturo : maybe 'cause it 's none of your damn business . summer : [ scoffs ] okay , you know , i 'm gon na cut you some slack because i know how upset you are about your sister . arturo : yeah , if you did , you would n't be getting in my face right now , summer . summer : you know , you have no right keeping kyle from being with lola . abby : kyle does n't need you to stand up for him . summer : you guys , kyle loves lola . he would never hurt her . kyle would never hurt anybody . and you have no right to treat him like this . it is cruel , and , honestly , he does n't deserve it . arturo : cruel ? are you -- are you kidding me ? after all the crap you put lola through ? you are the meanest , most selfish , cold bitch i have ever known . summer : [ huffs ] arturo : [ sighs ] kyle : sure you do n't want one ? rey : i 'm good . so you went driving around , and then you came back home . alone ? kyle : yes . alone . rey : you 're sure ? kyle : look , if you think i brought summer back here to hook up with her and we got surprised by lola , you 're way off base . i was furious with summer . rey : okay . so you were making your way back to the pool house . did you hear anything ? a splash , a struggle ? kyle : when i got here , lola was already in the pool . i did n't see anybody else . if i had gotten here a few moments earlier , i -- i just -- [ stammers ] how -- how -- how did this even happen ? who hurt lola ? rey : well , my sister can be a real spitfire . when she 's mad , watch out . i can only imagine the argument you two got in over summer . kyle : she was pretty pissed off at the cabin . she would n't believe me when i said there was nothing going on between summer and me . rey : [ inhales ] must have been frustrating . her calling you liar , cheat . i mean , it 's only understandable that , she showed up here giving you more of the same , that you would lose it . that you would get -- kyle : whoa ! i 'd never lay a hand on a woman . i love lola . rey : summer know that ? kyle : i 've told her a million times . rey : but that did n't stop her from showing up at the cabin . kyle : i 'm sure she wishes it had , the way i tore into her after lola took off . rey : you blame her for what happened ? kyle : she could have told lola the truth . instead , she fueled lola 's doubts , let her think the worst . rey : so she lied . she manipulated the truth . is that the kind of person that she is ? kyle : [ exclaims ] [ sighs ] summer 's spoiled . wants what she wants . she 'll do pretty much anything to get it . rey : okay , and in this case , she wants you . the question is , how far would she go to get you ? kyle : [ scoffs ] i 've seen her do some pretty crazy stuff when she sets her sights on something . rey : did you see her between the time she left the cabin and the time she showed up at the hospital ? kyle : no ! rey : so you ca n't tell me where she was when lola was attacked ? kyle : wait , wait , wait . you think summer -- rey : you ca n't give her an alibi , and i saw how angry you were when you tore into her at the hospital . maybe it 's because you know what she did . kyle : hey , look . i was angry . i still am . i said some pretty awful stuff . but i - i -- i was upset . rey : yeah . it seems like everybody 's emotions were running pretty high that night . kyle : summer would n't do this . rey : she had motive . opportunity . i think we both can agree that there 's a good chance that she could have done this . abby : my dad told me that phyllis was released from custody ? mariah : yeah . [ sighs ] um , does he have any idea why she was and the others were n't ? abby : no . mariah : okay . well , uh , just let me know if you hear anything ? abby : of course , yeah . tessa : arturo , we are so sorry to hear about what happened to lola . mariah : how is she doing ? arturo : she 's still in a coma . mariah : okay , well , let us know if we can do anything . arturo : thanks . i will . tessa : and in the meantime , we 'll -- we 'll be praying for her . arturo : [ sighs ] abby : do you want to go back to the hospital ? arturo : [ sniffles ] i do n't want to leave her alone for too long , but ... abby : what ? arturo : it 's just so hard seeing her like this . you know , so fragile . abby : i know . arturo : she 's always so full of life , moving a million miles an hour , telling everyone what to do , including me . you know , everything that she worked for as a kid was finally happening . and she even turned that stupid food truck into a success . and all her hard work finally paid off when you gave her her dream job . she was finally gon na be a big - time chef , and now ... abby : hey . all of her dreams are gon na come true . she needs you to believe that . to be strong for her . arturo : i 'm trying , abby , but all this waiting is killing me . i mean , here , the hospital , even when i go home , all i can do is just watch the minutes tick by . abby : yeah . rey 's lucky . he has somewhere to channel that energy now that he 's working on lola 's case . arturo : where 'd you hear that ? abby : well , he came by the house to ask kyle and me some questions . i figured that he 's working with detective north , or he took over the investigation . arturo : [ sighs ] well , i 'm glad he 's involved . it means that rey 's gon na find whoever did this to our sister . and i got no doubt he 's gon na nail their rear end to the wall . summer : oh , and i thought news traveled fast in my family . rey : meaning ? summer : meaning that arturo obviously told you that i blasted him for not letting kyle see lola . rey : well , my brother and i are both worried about our sister . summer : okay , well , not letting kyle see lola , it 's not gon na help anything . i mean , he cares about her . rey : mm . i 'm surprised you support their relationship . summer : okay , no , do n't get me wrong . those two do not belong together . it 's honestly just a disaster waiting to happen . rey : or one that already has . summer : okay , well , not because of anything that kyle 's done . look , what you and arturo are doing to him , is kind of a jerk move . letting kyle see lola , letting him tell her how much he 's worried about her , that -- it 's not gon na hurt anything . i mean , it really might even help . rey : oh , i 'm sure it would help him . but kyle 's not my concern . but clearly he 's yours . summer : yeah . kyle and i have been friends for forever . rey : did n't look that way when he tore into you at the hospital . summer : okay , you know , kyle was upset about lola . he needed to vent . friends get that . rey : what about at the cabin ? when you two argued there ? same thing ? summer : okay , kyle and i are very passionate people . yes , we fight , we cool off , and we make up . rey : so how long did it take you to cool off that night ? summer : i -- i do n't know . why are you even asking that ? rey : well , you left from the cabin to the abbott house here in gc . were you still fired up when you got there ? summer : okay , you know , you 're gon na need to work on your detective skills , detective , because i did not go straight to kyle 's house . rey : no ? summer : no . i was headed home , and i happened to pass by there , and i saw the police tape and stopped to see what had happened . rey : so you got there after lola had been attacked ? summer : yeah . good job , sherlock . rey : is there any way you can prove that ? ana : you okay ? devon : yeah . ana : we do n't have to go in . we can turn around and leave right now . devon : no , no , no . just a little déjà vu being here , that 's all . i just need to catch my breath . ana : take it easy . nate : i did n't know you guys were coming . devon : hey . ana : yeah , we came to see lola . nate : ah . well , you know she 's still in a coma , right ? ana : we wanted to let her know we 're pulling for her . where 's her room ? nate : it 's , uh ... it 's right there . you sure about this , man ? devon : [ sighs , gulps ] just give me a minute . [ breathing hard ] ana : oh , whoa . no . devon , it 's okay . i got you . devon : my heart 's beating really fast . ana : i know . take it easy . devon : i ca n't breathe . ana : take it easy . nate : here . here , here , here . take one of these . nate : there you go . now breathe . devon : [ breathing hard ] rey : you know , it 's interesting -- it took you a lot longer to get back from the cabin than it did kyle . summer : yeah , and it makes perfectly good sense . i left a lot later than kyle did . rey : so , what , you just hung out at the abbott cabin by yourself ? summer : i had a lot of champagne , and i waited till i sobered up . i did n't want to break the law . and i 'd think that you would appreciate that . rey : oh , i do . summer : okay , then why are you treating me like i 'm a criminal ? rey : i 'm just considering all possible situations . summer : okay , and one of those is that i attacked lola ? rey : it 's not hard to believe that you came to the abbott house looking to hook up with kyle , and , instead , you ran into lola . things got ugly . my sister got hurt . summer : [ scoffs ] okay , that -- that is insane . honestly , i do n't even know where the hell you would get an idea like that . i know that you talked to abby earlier , but there is absolutely no way that she would accuse me of attacking somebody . rey : did you stop anywhere on your way back from the cabin ? do you have a receipt with a time stamp to prove where you were ? summer : no , i want to know who put that idea in your head . rey : how about i ask the questions ? summer : oh , my god . oh , my god . it was kyle . it was kyle . rey : like i said ... summer : that bastard ! he told you that i was angry enough to attack his stupid girlfriend ? oh , my god . you just wait till i see him . i am gon na ... [ huffs ] rey : you 're gon na what ? nate : those pills working ? devon : yeah . i 'm feeling much better . ana : devon , i 'm so sorry . i feel like i forced you into this . devon : no , do n't be sorry for anything . i wanted to see lola , and i still want to see her . nate : you sure ? because if it 's too much , we can -- devon : yeah , no . it 's not too much . if hilary knew that i bailed on a friend because of her , she 'd be pissed off , so i do n't want to do that . ana : well , we 're right here if you need us . devon : yeah , i know . nate : just let us know , man . devon : thank you . thank you . hey , lola . you 're looking ... [ sighs shakily ] i need to ask you to do me a favor , okay ? just please do n't leave us . okay ?

[ cellphone rings ] mariah : nick ? hi . tomorrow ? okay , um ... [ sighs ] yeah , thanks for letting me know . tessa : are sharon and the others getting released tomorrow ? mariah : no . uh ... they 're being arraigned . the d.a . is charging nikki , victoria , and my mom in connection with j.t . 's death . | summer shows up at the abbot house looking for kyle . abbey tells her to stay away from kyle and the two have a heated argument . summer tells abbey that she is n't giving up on kyle because she wants him . summer brings up to abbey how abbey slept with her husband austin and the two continue arguing . at the hospital kyle makes several attempts to see lola but nearly runs into rey or arturo . dr hastings informs rey that he does n't have great news and relays that there may be a problem with lola 's liver . kyle runs into dr hastings but he refuses to let him see lola . when rey is back at gcpd he begins snooping around for the investigation file on lola . rey is then caught by detective north who tells him he is not allowed to see the file however he silently slips the file to him shortly after . at the coffee house mariah and tessa talk about phyllis being out of jail and assume the others have been released as well however mariah has not heard from sharon . kyle shows up and they discuss phyllis further and how she did n't have an attorney . kyle then fills the two in on how he is n't allowed to visit lola because of rey and arturo . mariah is outraged . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] mariah : they wo n't let me see my mom , so i talked to her lawyer , brittany , for a few minutes . no official charges have been filed . same goes for nikki , victoria , and phyllis . tessa : yeah , but they 're holding them , which means somebody cracked . phyllis : the women will understand that i had no choice . christine : no , you always have a choice . you chose to roll over on your friends and save yourself . ana : you had a panic attack . devon : okay . all right . yes , i did . i had an attack . kyle : lola 's gon na be all right . she has to be . arturo : man , she better be . rey : i 'm gon na find out who did this to lola . mia : you 're not assigned to the case . rey : i 'm gon na make sure whoever did this to her pays . kyle : i do n't want you here , because the only thing i care about is lola , and you are nothing but a distraction . summer : [ clears throat ] abby : kyle 's not here . summer : did he leave for work already ? is he planning on stopping by the hospital ? abby : i do n't know . but considering what happened the last time you went there , maybe you should stay away from the hospital and kyle . summer : oh . great . thank you for the advice , abby . abby : dealing with what happened to lola is all that kyle can handle right now . he does n't need you hanging around , causing trouble . summer : all right . well , i 'm just trying to be a good friend . abby : is n't that what you said when you went up to the cabin ? look how that ended . nate : oh , i did n't hear you come in , man . rey : [ sniffles ] [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] is there any change ? nate : yes . i 'm afraid there is . mariah : [ clicking pen ] ugh ! tessa : hey . i 've been trying to reach you . you did n't answer my texts . mariah : hey . i 'm sorry . i - i turned off my phone . i could n't handle any more bad news . tessa : well , i might have some good . mariah : yes . go . sit . heh . tessa : okay , so , i was at the top of the tower ... mariah : just having a casual five - star breakfast ? tessa : no , i was putting in a job application . with lola hurt , i 'm guessing that the restaurant opening is on hold . anyway , uh , i - i saw phyllis . mariah : phyllis ? phyllis ? tessa : yeah . she was having a breakfast meeting or something . mariah : well , if phyllis is out of jail , that means ... tessa : the others are probably , too . mariah : well , i do n't have any calls or texts , and if my mom was out of jail , i think i would have heard from her . tessa : yeah , for sure . mariah : that 's weird . i wonder what 's going on ? devon : what 'd you think of that one ? ana : honestly ? devon : eh ? i was n't feeling it , either . ana : yeah , sorry . none of the tracks i listened to really did anything for me . devon : yeah , i know . it 's like all these artists today are just trying to copy people . ana : that might work on the internet . not in the music world . devon : they think we need the next ed sheeran or beyoncé , but that 's been done . what i need to find is somebody who is brave enough to be his or herself . ana : i 'm not changing my mind , devon . i 'm retired from singing . devon : oh , you 're retired from singing . did i show you all the messages we got after you performed here that night ? ana : three times . devon : yeah . ana : still not changing my mind . devon : you do n't care ? just gon na be stubborn ? ana : mm - hmm . devon : oh . ana : you say that like it 's a bad thing . devon : oh , no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's admirable . yeah . but , uh ... heh ... i just want to know that you 're sure , that 's all . ana : i 'm sure . now , if we 're done here ... i wanted to ask you about lola . have you heard anything about her condition ? devon : yeah , i called abby . she still has n't woken up yet . ana : i was gon na go down to the hospital to see her . want to come with me ? devon : she 's unconscious , so she 's not gon na know we 're there . you know that . ana : well , nate said sometimes people in comas can hear you . might do her some good knowing that we care . devon : yeah . i just do n't want to get in everybody 's way . ana : oh , i think the rosales family will appreciate the support . it must be horrible for them , seeing lola like this , feeling so helpless . devon : yeah . i 'm sure it is . ana : so , what do you say ? will you come with me ? arturo : [ sighs ] great . just what lola needed -- another complication . rey : [ sighs ] nate did n't say much about the liver issue , but it 's -- it 's not good . arturo : well , what are they gon na do about it ? rey : all they can do right now is just keep an eye on it . rey : hope ? [ scoffs ] that 's all they got ? rey : i know . this waiting around sucks . but ... i trust nate . i have to . what other choice do we have ? arturo : [ sighs ] what about , uh , you know , the -- the detectives ? do they have any -- any leads on who might have done this to her ? rey : no , they 're keeping me out of the loop . they think i might mess things up because of my personal connection . arturo : meaning you want to hurt the guy that did this to our sister . rey : i 'm gon na head down to the station , see if i can find out anything unofficially . will you ... ? arturo : yeh , yeah . as soon as i hear anything , i 'll let you know . rey : thank you . kyle : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship rey : uh ... hey . uh ... i was just ... looking for a pen that works . you know , these -- these budget cuts are killer . eddie : a pen . that the best you can do ? rey : look , just give me a glimpse , eddie . two minutes with her file . i - i got to know who attacked her , man . eddie : rules are there for a reason , man . i 'll be writing parking tickets if i break them . rey : no , no , no , no , no . i will leave your name out of it , i - i swear . eddie : i 'm sorry . rey : look , this is my kid sister we 're talking about here . you 've seen her come in here , bringing me lunch , nagging me to eat . she -- she did n't deserve this . eddie : [ sighs ] i wish i could help you . summer : okay , are you seriously gon na blame me for what happened to lola ? abby : all i 'm saying is , maybe you should think about why you went to the cabin in the first place . summer : no need . i know why . abby : and you still think it was a good idea ? summer : no , i think it was a great idea . kyle thought so , too . abby : i seriously doubt that . summer : okay , that 's because you were n't there . you did n't see us get to go on a sleigh ride together , go ice skating . we sat by the fire and had champagne . it was perfect . until lola showed up . abby : for a valentine 's getaway that he had planned for the two of them . summer : okay , and she turned him down . neither of us were expecting to see her at the cabin , and neither of us were happy about it . abby : is that why kyle has been freaking out every second since he found lola in our pool ? summer : okay , kyle 's just not thinking clearly right now . abby : he was n't thinking clearly when he went to the cabin ! he was heartbroken over breaking up with lola . [ scoffs ] which would be a big red flag for any non - narcissistic person . summer : wow , you almost said that without any irony . abby : that 's the difference between you and me . i regret what i did with austin . summer : oh , okay . yeah , no , we 're all good , then . you tell me that you 're sorry for sleeping with my husband . can you say `` hypocrite `` ? abby : just because i made a mistake does n't mean that you have to . summer : i am not making a mistake , abby . kyle and lola are n't married . they 're not even a couple . he 's fair game . abby : do you even care about kyle ? or do you just want him because someone else has him ? summer : okay , if you 're referring to sleeping beauty -- abby : lola is going to wake up . and when she does , she and kyle are gon na work things out . when that happens , then will you back off ? summer : no . arturo : i 'll be back . nate : hey , you can not go in there . kyle : five minutes . that 's all i ask . nate : no . no , no , no , no , no , no , no . kyle : [ sighs ] nate : lola 's brothers made it perfectly clear that you 're not allowed in there . kyle : but they 're not here . they 'll never know you let me in . nate : i could lose my hospital privileges for something like that . kyle : i 'm not trying to get you in trouble . nate : thank you . kyle : but i 'm begging you , man . this is n't just about me . she needs to know i 'm here , that i love her . nate : i wish i could help you . she 's your patient , right ? nate : yeah . kyle : then you want what 's best for her . nate : if i could let you in , i would . kyle : [ sighs ] is there anything i could say to persuade you to let me in ? nate : talk to rey and arturo . they 're the ones you need to persuade . ah . kyle : [ sighs ] rey : [ inaudible ] devon : oh , yeah . i thought ana killed it the other night , too . not any time soon . she , uh ... she wants to stay retired , was her words . oh , of course i did , yeah . i offered her a signing bonus , creative control , advance on all sales , and she does not want it . mm - hmm . yeah . i 'm gon na have to take a loss on this one , i think . [ chuckles ] well , hey , let me know if you come up with anything . okay . i 'll talk to you later . you 're probably wondering who that was about . that was the third agent calling who 's dying to sign you . ana : i found us some more artists to listen to . devon : did you really ? are they better than you ? ana : give me a break , devon . devon : i 'm trying to give you a break . you wo n't let me do it . ana : if this is how you repay a favor , next time , i wo n't even bother . devon : oh , hey , why you gon na be like that ? you brought down the house with your voice , and i 'm a record producer , so you tell me how i should respond to you . ana : you 're also my brother . so a , `` hey , sis , thanks for saving my butt , `` would be good . devon : you know that i appreciate what you did . ana : be nice to hear it instead of you pressuring me all the time . devon : oh , okay . all right . i 'm just trying to figure you out , because when you were a kid , you would have done anything to have this opportunity , and now you have it . ana : i 'm not a kid anymore . i 've changed . so have my dreams . songwriting is my passion now . and if you 're interested , i 'd love to team up with you on that . devon : well , you know i 'm interested . but i 'm not going to promise that i 'm not gon na try and get you to record something in the future . i ca n't do that . ana : oh , my gosh . you 're relentless . devon : i am relentless . that 's a good title of a song . you should write one about me and how cool i am . [ chuckles ] ana : oh , no , it would just be the same lyrics over and over again . who 'd want to listen to that ? devon : well , hey , what rhymes with `` relentless `` ? stupendous . tremendous rhymes with it . ana : stay out of my business devon : that 's even better . use that . ana : it 's not . devon : use them all . ana : no , it 's -- it 's terrible . devon : just sing something . ana : why do n't you sing something ? devon : i am not the singer . [ both laughing ] nobody want to hear me . mariah : did michael say why ? tessa : she 's trying to figure out what 's going on with sharon . mariah : well , somebody must know the reason why phyllis is out and the others aren't . okay . just , um , let me know as soon as you hear anything . all right . thanks , nick . bye . hi . [ sighs ] kyle : hi . [ sighs ] sorry about everything going on with your mom . mariah : thank you . tessa : so , what did you find out ? mariah : well , nick does n't know why phyllis is out and the others are n't , and phyllis claims that she does n't know , either . kyle : knowing phyllis , she probably got her lawyer to pull some strings with the d.a . mariah : no , see , that 's the weirdest thing . phyllis did n't hire an attorney . and `` hate `` does n't begin to describe what christine williams feels for phyllis , so it 's not like she would do her any favors . kyle : hmm . tessa : this does n't make any sense . kyle : [ scoffs ] seems to be a recurring theme . i 'm still trying to figure out how lola ended up unconscious in my pool . mariah : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . i should have -- i should have asked . how is she doing ? kyle : still has n't woken up . [ sighs ] that 's about all i know . mariah : well , i 'm surprised you 're not at the hospital right now . kyle : just came from there . they wo n't let me see her , wo n't give me any information about her condition . tessa : why not ? kyle : i 'm not family . tessa : okay , so , ask her brothers what 's going on . kyle : [ chuckles ] they 're the ones freezing me out . mariah : what the hell ? you ca n't let them get away with that . kyle : bad as i want to see her , i do n't blame them for trying to keep me away . mariah : kyle , this was not your fault . kyle : look , i screwed up . i kept letting summer hang around . i knew what she wanted , and i knew what it was doing to lola . i should have ... damn it ! why did i let her into the cabin ? i 'm an idiot . now lola 's paying the price for my stupidity . mariah : kyle -- hey , kyle ! summer : okay , if you see kyle , will you please tell him i 'm looking for him ? abby : have you heard anything i just said to you ? summer : okay , never mind . i 'll just look for him myself . abby : what are you hoping to gain by throwing yourself at kyle ? summer : kyle . kyle is what i want . abby : you have no idea how furious he is with you . i mean , he 's not even taking your calls , which is why you had to show up here looking for him . summer : he 's going through a lot right now . okay ? he blames himself for what happened to lola . abby : he is worried sick about lola . summer : and it 's all just guilt . even though it is not kyle 's fault for what happened to lola , i respect him for sticking by her through this . abby : oh . [ scoffs ] but deep down inside , he 's in love with you ? he just has n't told you that ? summer : oh , my god . kyle is not going to admit that he has feelings for me when lola is fighting for her life . abby : oh , my god . summer : not to himself , even . but i know that he does . abby : [ sighs ] summer : and you know what , so do you , or else you would n't be trying to keep me away from him . [ doorbell rings ] oh , my god . it 's rey rosales . that 's just what i need . abby : rey is just as worried about lola as the rest of us . summer : yeah , fine . then just wish him my best . actually , don't . i 'm gon na go through the back door . abby : rey , hi . come on in . rey : hey . abby : is there news on lola ? rey : uh , she 's still unconscious , and the doctors are saying now that there may be a problem with her liver . abby : oh , no . rey : dr. hastings is keeping an eye on it . um ... i wanted to ask you some more questions about the night of lola 's attack , if you have a few minutes . abby : yeah , o - of course . was n't someone else here ? abby : summer , yeah . she -- she just left . rey : kyle 's summer ? abby : [ scoffs ] she wishes . they were together off and on for years , and , well , lately , she 's been working overtime to make it on again . it 's just , nothing she 's been doing has been working . rey : hmm . she must not be very happy about that . kyle : abby said you wanted to see me . where is she ? rey : i wanted to talk to you alone . kyle : about lola ? rey : yeah . kyle : have you changed your mind about letting me see her ? rey : lola can decide if she wants to see you when she wakes up . kyle : well , then , she 's getting better . rey : i anted to put together a time line of the events that happened the night lola was attacked . kyle : i told the other guy working the case everything i know . rey : walk me through it again . kyle : uh ... [ sighs ] lola came up to my family 's cabin , and summer was there . i tried to tell her there was nothing going on between us . rey : [ clicks tongue ] she did n't believe you ? kyle : she got mad and left . summer and i argued , and then i went after lola . she 's not used to driving in the snow , so i caught up to her . rey : abby and arturo said that you showed up to the club shortly after she did . kyle : i wanted to explain . but she ... would n't listen . rey : what happened ? kyle : i - i -- i left . rey : you told detective north in your statement that , after you left the club , you `` drove around for a while to clear your head . `` kyle : that 's right . rey : where ? kyle : i do n't know . uh ... just ... just around . the neighborhood . rey : who 's neighborhood ? summer 's ? kyle : whoa , what ? no ! rey : why do you seem so surprised that i 'd ask that ? i mean , that is your m.o . , is n't it ? after lola dumps you , you turn to summer . tessa : no luck ? mariah : the desk clerk said that rey is in charge of the j.t . hellstrom case , and he 's out of the office . tessa : probably at the hospital . mariah : i can not think of anybody else who would know why my mom , nikki , and victoria are locked up , and phyllis isn't . tessa : i can . mariah : you got to be freaking kidding me . tessa : it might be a blessing in disguise . mariah : no . i 'm -- [ scoffs ] i 'm not feeling it . tessa : it 's your call . mariah : [ sighs ] okay . hey . summer : hey . mariah : must be a big relief that your mom is out of jail . summer : oh , my gosh , yeah . it 's huge . i just hope that my grandma and aunt vicki get out soon . and -- and sharon , of course . mariah : of course . um , look , i talked to nick earlier , and he said that he did n't know why phyllis was out and the others weren't . summer : no , me neither . mariah : do n't you think that 's kind of weird ? summer : no , not necessarily . i mean , my mom did n't have anything to do with j.t . 's death . mariah : are you saying that my mom did ? summer : well , she is still locked up . mariah : so are nikki and victoria . summer : okay , you know , i think that we can agree that the cops screwed up , and obviously my mom was able to make them see that where she was concerned . and maybe she 's just a little smarter and more forceful than sharon is . mariah : here 's another possibility -- maybe she 's a backstabbing bitch who sold out the others to save herself . summer : wow . you know , it 's such a shame . you have n't even known sharon that long , and you 're already picking up her nasty habit of blaming my mom for everything . must really be genetics . tessa : is everything okay over here ? mariah : peachy . summer : yeah , you know , actually , i was gon na ask mariah if she 's seen kyle . tessa : he left . mariah : [ scoffs ] summer : i keep missing him . mariah : yeah . it 's a shame that was n't the case at the cabin . devon : all right . we can put a pin in the whole `` you getting back onstage `` discussion . ana : thank you . devon : for now .

summer : hey , i had every right to go see kyle that night at the cabin . lola broke up with him , and i was trying to cheer him up . mariah : oh , is that what the cool kids are calling it these days ? summer : he was down about the breakup , and i was only trying to make him feel better . mariah : well , summer , you 're doing a great job , because his girlfriend 's in the hospital , and her family wo n't let him see her . so [ claps ] congratulations . summer : wait , why wo n't let lola 's brothers let kyle see her ? mariah : because they think that he cheated on her with you , you dumb -- tessa : hey ! look , it does n't matter why arturo and rey wo n't let kyle see lola , okay ? they 're doing it . summer : okay , no , this is unfair . kyle did not cheat with me . lola broke up with him . tessa : yeah , because she was tired of dealing with you , summer ! summer : kyle must be devastated . mariah : you know what , if you 're thinking of cheering him up , don't . abby : ana and devon are going to visit lola at the hospital . summer : hey . why did n't you tell me that lola 's brothers would n't let kyle see her ? arturo : maybe 'cause it 's none of your damn business . summer : [ scoffs ] okay , you know , i 'm gon na cut you some slack because i know how upset you are about your sister . arturo : yeah , if you did , you would n't be getting in my face right now , summer . summer : you know , you have no right keeping kyle from being with lola . abby : kyle does n't need you to stand up for him . summer : you guys , kyle loves lola . he would never hurt her . kyle would never hurt anybody . and you have no right to treat him like this . it is cruel , and , honestly , he does n't deserve it . arturo : cruel ? are you -- are you kidding me ? after all the crap you put lola through ? you are the meanest , most selfish , cold bitch i have ever known . summer : [ huffs ] arturo : [ sighs ] kyle : sure you do n't want one ? rey : i 'm good . so you went driving around , and then you came back home . alone ? kyle : yes . alone . rey : you 're sure ? kyle : look , if you think i brought summer back here to hook up with her and we got surprised by lola , you 're way off base . i was furious with summer . rey : okay . so you were making your way back to the pool house . did you hear anything ? a splash , a struggle ? kyle : when i got here , lola was already in the pool . i did n't see anybody else . if i had gotten here a few moments earlier , i -- i just -- [ stammers ] how -- how -- how did this even happen ? who hurt lola ? rey : well , my sister can be a real spitfire . when she 's mad , watch out . i can only imagine the argument you two got in over summer . kyle : she was pretty pissed off at the cabin . she would n't believe me when i said there was nothing going on between summer and me . rey : [ inhales ] must have been frustrating . her calling you liar , cheat . i mean , it 's only understandable that , she showed up here giving you more of the same , that you would lose it . that you would get -- kyle : whoa ! i 'd never lay a hand on a woman . i love lola . rey : summer know that ? kyle : i 've told her a million times . rey : but that did n't stop her from showing up at the cabin . kyle : i 'm sure she wishes it had , the way i tore into her after lola took off . rey : you blame her for what happened ? kyle : she could have told lola the truth . instead , she fueled lola 's doubts , let her think the worst . rey : so she lied . she manipulated the truth . is that the kind of person that she is ? kyle : [ exclaims ] [ sighs ] summer 's spoiled . wants what she wants . she 'll do pretty much anything to get it . rey : okay , and in this case , she wants you . the question is , how far would she go to get you ? kyle : [ scoffs ] i 've seen her do some pretty crazy stuff when she sets her sights on something . rey : did you see her between the time she left the cabin and the time she showed up at the hospital ? kyle : no ! rey : so you ca n't tell me where she was when lola was attacked ? kyle : wait , wait , wait . you think summer -- rey : you ca n't give her an alibi , and i saw how angry you were when you tore into her at the hospital . maybe it 's because you know what she did . kyle : hey , look . i was angry . i still am . i said some pretty awful stuff . but i - i -- i was upset . rey : yeah . it seems like everybody 's emotions were running pretty high that night . kyle : summer would n't do this . rey : she had motive . opportunity . i think we both can agree that there 's a good chance that she could have done this . abby : my dad told me that phyllis was released from custody ? mariah : yeah . [ sighs ] um , does he have any idea why she was and the others were n't ? abby : no . mariah : okay . well , uh , just let me know if you hear anything ? abby : of course , yeah . tessa : arturo , we are so sorry to hear about what happened to lola . mariah : how is she doing ? arturo : she 's still in a coma . mariah : okay , well , let us know if we can do anything . arturo : thanks . i will . tessa : and in the meantime , we 'll -- we 'll be praying for her . arturo : [ sighs ] abby : do you want to go back to the hospital ? arturo : [ sniffles ] i do n't want to leave her alone for too long , but ... abby : what ? arturo : it 's just so hard seeing her like this . you know , so fragile . abby : i know . arturo : she 's always so full of life , moving a million miles an hour , telling everyone what to do , including me . you know , everything that she worked for as a kid was finally happening . and she even turned that stupid food truck into a success . and all her hard work finally paid off when you gave her her dream job . she was finally gon na be a big - time chef , and now ... abby : hey . all of her dreams are gon na come true . she needs you to believe that . to be strong for her . arturo : i 'm trying , abby , but all this waiting is killing me . i mean , here , the hospital , even when i go home , all i can do is just watch the minutes tick by . abby : yeah . rey 's lucky . he has somewhere to channel that energy now that he 's working on lola 's case . arturo : where 'd you hear that ? abby : well , he came by the house to ask kyle and me some questions . i figured that he 's working with detective north , or he took over the investigation . arturo : [ sighs ] well , i 'm glad he 's involved . it means that rey 's gon na find whoever did this to our sister . and i got no doubt he 's gon na nail their rear end to the wall . summer : oh , and i thought news traveled fast in my family . rey : meaning ? summer : meaning that arturo obviously told you that i blasted him for not letting kyle see lola . rey : well , my brother and i are both worried about our sister . summer : okay , well , not letting kyle see lola , it 's not gon na help anything . i mean , he cares about her . rey : mm . i 'm surprised you support their relationship . summer : okay , no , do n't get me wrong . those two do not belong together . it 's honestly just a disaster waiting to happen . rey : or one that already has . summer : okay , well , not because of anything that kyle 's done . look , what you and arturo are doing to him , is kind of a jerk move . letting kyle see lola , letting him tell her how much he 's worried about her , that -- it 's not gon na hurt anything . i mean , it really might even help . rey : oh , i 'm sure it would help him . but kyle 's not my concern . but clearly he 's yours . summer : yeah . kyle and i have been friends for forever . rey : did n't look that way when he tore into you at the hospital . summer : okay , you know , kyle was upset about lola . he needed to vent . friends get that . rey : what about at the cabin ? when you two argued there ? same thing ? summer : okay , kyle and i are very passionate people . yes , we fight , we cool off , and we make up . rey : so how long did it take you to cool off that night ? summer : i -- i do n't know . why are you even asking that ? rey : well , you left from the cabin to the abbott house here in gc . were you still fired up when you got there ? summer : okay , you know , you 're gon na need to work on your detective skills , detective , because i did not go straight to kyle 's house . rey : no ? summer : no . i was headed home , and i happened to pass by there , and i saw the police tape and stopped to see what had happened . rey : so you got there after lola had been attacked ? summer : yeah . good job , sherlock . rey : is there any way you can prove that ? ana : you okay ? devon : yeah . ana : we do n't have to go in . we can turn around and leave right now . devon : no , no , no . just a little déjà vu being here , that 's all . i just need to catch my breath . ana : take it easy . nate : i did n't know you guys were coming . devon : hey . ana : yeah , we came to see lola . nate : ah . well , you know she 's still in a coma , right ? ana : we wanted to let her know we 're pulling for her . where 's her room ? nate : it 's , uh ... it 's right there . you sure about this , man ? devon : [ sighs , gulps ] just give me a minute .

[ scene_break ] justus : as i understand it , that file was destroyed last week . forensics found nothing but ashes . ric : i moved the file to another location . i had to make sure that the evidence was n't compromised before we made an arrest . carly : ok , he is lying . alexis used that file to try and blackmail sonny into giving her full custody . when he refused , then she gave it to ric . mac : that 's a pretty serious accusation . ric : of which carly has absolutely no proof . john : i 'm the one you should be arresting . ric : why is that ? john : i 'm the one who stole the file from sonny 's house in the first place . this is all my doing . i was helping carly move out of her husband 's penthouse . the file incriminating sonny was in my grandson 's box of comic books . i did n't have a warrant to search the premises , nor did i have an agreement with a judge . the incriminating file was a result of an illegal search and seizure , therefore inadmissible in court . sonny will have to be released .

[ scene_break ] emily : nikolas killed helena to save my life . i would have sworn that under oath if the case had gone to trial . judge woods : mr. cassadine confessed to throwing his grandmother off a cliff . emily : helena had tried to kill me more than once . she put a knife to my throat and she tried to shove me over the side of a cliff . judge woods : mr. cassadine stopped her , and , by his own admission , the knife had fallen from her hand the time -- emily : he was protecting me . nikolas is a good and moral person . his grandmother was a psychopath . judge woods : the law does n't see it that way . emily : helena swore that she would keep trying to kill me until she succeeded . it was n't an idle threat . she had killed before , and she always managed to avoid prosecution . emily : ask the police for a copy of helena cassadine 's file . do n't try to read it all . just skim the headlines and a portrait will emerge -- not of a woman who 's frail and helpless , but of a truly evil woman . please , consider the history and the character of this so - called victim before you sentence my husband . judge woods : all right . i wo n't promise anything , but i 'll look into it further . emily : thank you . thank you . [ scene_break ] skye : luke is not just going to toss me aside when he finds laura , ok ? he 's been incredibly loyal to me . he 's been on my side like nobody else in my life ever has . edward : you 're kidding yourself , darling , just like i did about heather . the whole family warned me . i did n't listen to them . i put us all through hell . skye : yes , well , luke is no heather . edward : no , but he can still break your heart . skye : you 're the one who said that luke abandoned me when i was convicted this summer and sent to pentonville . and as it turns out , luke was locked in some psych ward , too drugged up to function . but when i said he 'd come back for me , you said that i had blinders on , and yet luke managed to escape and come save me . and just now , when heather drugged me and left me to die , luke is the one who came and saved my life . edward : i know . i 'm aware of that . skye : then why do you find it so hard to believe that luke actually cares about me ? edward : darling , i 'm sure he cares about you . i mean , who would n't ? you 're beautiful and you 're brave and you 're resilient . skye : yeah ? well , then you have to trust me to make my own decisions . edward : i 'm just concerned about this as much as he cares about you . laura is the love of his life . why do you want to settle for leftovers from a man who ca n't give up on his wife ? [ scene_break ] luke : stop making this so complicated . your mother is n't safe . we need to find her . lucky : i 'm just worried about your expectations , dad . luke : i do n't have any expectations . lucky : you 're still in love with mom . you would 've traded your soul to bring her back . and you did for a while . luke : ok , you save this for the essay questions . this is a simple yes or no -- will you use your badge to get me into ferncliff so i can talk to heather ? lucky : dad , listen , how far are you willing to go ? you want to go back to jail ? you want to go back to the bottle ? are you willing to sacrifice just to connect with a woman that does n't even exist anymore ? luke : ok , i 'm going to take this as a `` no , i wo n't help you . `` lucky : no , dad , listen , all i 'm trying to say -- luke : no , no , it 's ok ! do n't worry about it ! you be a cop , hold your head up high . i 'll take care of this myself ! lucky : yeah , and what happens when you do find mom and she 's not any better ? because that is reality ! she 's never going to get better . luke : i do n't know what 's going to happen , son . i ca n't see that far ahead . and neither can you .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : let me get this straight . i sent a fax to luke , which you intercepted , and then faxed me back to set up this meeting ? dillon : well -- yeah . lorenzo : pretending you were luke ? dillon : yeah , i mean , you know , it was kind of a cryptic fax . you did n't even sign it or anything . lorenzo : so you decided to play detective ? dillon : no , i just -- you know , luke 's a good guy . i just figured that we did n't want him to get into too much trouble . lorenzo : did it occur to you to ask luke who sent the fax ? georgie : well , luke was out , so we decided we 'd take care of it for him . lorenzo : ah . well , it may reassure you to hear that that cryptic fax was to set up a meeting to finalize the repayment of a loan i made to your friend luke . dillon : oh . georgie : i 'm really sorry we bothered you . dillon : yeah . lorenzo : apology accepted . dillon : hey , you know , it 's funny because it was a really cool logo that you had on the fax there , and i thought that i had seen it before , but i was n't sure exactly where from . lorenzo : well , i 'm sure you saw it when you were visiting sage . it started off as the alcazar cattle brand , then became the corporate logo . listen , no more cloak - and - dagger games , ok ? dillon : no , yeah , no , we 're done with that . sorry . we wo n't -- wait a minute . so this is the same thing as alcazar 's corporate logo . georgie : so alcazar 's symbol is the key to diego 's past ?

[ scene_break ] carrie : of course , this still has a lot to do with austin . i still feel burned by him . lucas : here , let me help you . carrie : it 's hard for me to believe the man that i loved for so long is now a heartless corporate shark . lucas : yeah . there you go . he 's climbing the ladder pretty fast . you know , when it comes to business , not many people are like you . most people leave their values outside the boardroom and pick them up on their way out . carrie : so you 're saying that austin 's business philosophy does n't really have a lot to do with who he is as a person and maybe i should forgive him ? [ scene_break ] bo : come here . we were gon na discuss this before any charges were filed . brent : look , i 'm sorry , bo , but i have my orders . the d.a . is hot on this case . bo : this was an accident . no one believes that chelsea meant to hit my little boy . brent : look , i feel for you and your family -- okay ? -- but so far your daughter has n't shown any sign of remorse for her actions , and the d.a . 's taken note of that . chelsea : that is not true . i loved zack . brent : look , i know that this is cold , but i need you to make this arrest . billie : oh ! bo : give us a minute , would you ? brent : yeah , sure . just let the d.a . 's office know when you 're done . bo : yeah . chelsea : i do n't believe this . my own father is supposed to arrest me ? are you joking ? bo : billie . [ scene_break ] billie : mom , let 's give them some time . kate : sweetheart ... you know i hated the idea of you going to jail to protect your daughter , but i am so sorry for what you 're going through now . billie : everything 's gon na get so much worse now , mom , now that hope 's involved . this trial is gon na be awful . hope is on the warpath against chelsea . kate : you know something ? maybe hope being on the warpath is n't such a bad thing . maybe -- maybe that 's going to be the one bright spot in this whole terrible tragedy , because she 's going to have to come up against you and chelsea and bo . and i do n't know . i just have a feeling that maybe that will drive bo straight into your arms , and you will finally have that family that you 've always wanted . [ scene_break ] bo : being arrested is not fun . it is scary . but do n't worry . i 'll be there with you , and so will your mom -- through the arrest and the trial . chelsea : what about hope ? she hates me . [ scene_break ] jennifer : here you go . drink this . go on . hope : thank you . maggie : hope -- alice -- she had a story that she shared with me about a terrible time that she and your grandpa tom went through after your mom was hit by a car and died . alice : it 's terrible to have your child go before you -- no matter what age you are . maggie : people -- they just grieve so differently , hope . alice : there were days when tom and i did n't even speak to each other . maggie : the loss of their daughter -- it was so great , and the pain was so unbearable . but then they remembered what they still had . alice : yes . we had each other , and we got through it . hope : how ? alice : love ... and you . [ exhales deeply ] our daughter 's little girl . maggie : so when you feel like giving up , think of tom and alice . jennifer : but the most difficult part about this is that bo has a daughter to consider . i mean , he ca n't just abandon chelsea . [ sets cup on table ] hope : bo 's got to make a choice . if he decides to stand by chelsea benson ... then he loses his marriage to me . it 's that simple . [ scene_break ] abe : i guess i had it backwards -- me apologizing to you . it sounds like you should be saying you 're sorry to me for coveting my wife , even though nothing happened ! tek : abe , you said it yourself -- `` what man alive would n't desire lexie ? `` i mean , it does n't mean i 'm gon na try to steal her from you . seriously , i - i respect your marriage and the family you and lexie have together . i - i would never try to come between that . you 're the lucky man that got her , abe . the rest of us lost out . abe : well , i know i 'm a lucky man . and now that i 'm getting these bandages off , i 'm gon na keep my eyes on my very desirable wife .

[ scene_break ] nicole : okay . all right . so , you 're still upset about carrie , right ? austin : yes . nicole : austin , please , it 's done . we ca n't give it back . frankly , i would n't want to . highstyle is good for our bottom line -- at least it will be once i whip it into shape . now , larry tate can help us with other takeovers . it 's what he lives for . but he does n't want to do business with people who do n't have a stomach for it . now , please , austin , be smart . go over there and talk to mr. tate . with his money behind us , we could buy six highstyles . and then you can give one of them to carrie with a big red bow tied around it . austin : you 're right . you 're right . he 's just a silent investor that we 're hoping would get onboard . a job well - done .

's taken note of that . chelsea : that is not true . i loved zack . brent : look , i know that this is cold , but i need you to make this arrest . billie : oh ! bo : give us a minute , would you ? brent : yeah , sure . just let the d.a .

[ exhales deeply ] our daughter 's little girl . maggie : so when you feel like giving up , think of tom and alice . jennifer : but the most difficult part about this is that bo has a daughter to consider . i mean , he ca n't just abandon chelsea .

[ stammers ] i -- i get that . i mean , what a lame stunt . i mean ... i knew -- god , i knew that bitch was up to something . oh , eric tricked me into waiting at the brady pub for this russian informant . jack : excuse me ? eve : no , it does n't make -- you know , it does n't even matter . it was just to get me out of the way so she could -- so she could lock you up . [ scoffs ] that whole , you know , fireman thing , that 's cray - cray even for jennifer . jack : well , no , no . in her defense , it was n't her idea . apparently it was mine a long time ago . she got this from me . a long time ago she was getting married , and i guess i kidnapped her . i mean , yeah , i -- i guess i must have been really crazy to fall in love with her like that , huh ? eve : wait ... jack , you are , uh ... you 're not now . you 're not in love with jennifer now , are you ? hey . you want me . not jennifer , right ? jack : i told you ... despite jennifer 's best efforts ... i have no recollection of ever loving her . i told her the same thing , in addition to the fact that i am committed to my future with you . as mayor ... and first lady of salem . eve : [ giggles ] jack , that 's why we make such a great team . oh , i just wish jennifer could get it through her pea brain . jack : yeah , that -- i think that the -- the -- eve : what ? jack : the reason it was so upsetting is because apparently it was something we shared that was so ... i do n't know , intense ? although , everything that she told me -- this whole love history -- it was if not improbable , it was completely impossible . you know , in the early days of our romance , apparently i could n't even tell her that i loved her . and yet somehow , for some reason , she would n't give up on me . [ laughs ] eve : well , they -- you 're right about it , because it was improbable and -- and that 's why it probably ended . but you and i , jack , oh , my gosh , we ... are so compatible . we want the same things . that 's why we are a force to be reckoned with . and that 's why we are gon na show the people of salem what a true , true ... [ moans ] love story is all about as opposed to that -- that fake news that tripp and haley are trying to sell . so come on . mm . what do you say ? let 's get married . jack : yeah . i 'm up for this . eve : all right . both : [ moan softly ] eve : okay . haley : i 'm sure tripp will be here any minute , but , um , in the mean time can i make you some tea ? smith : no thank you , i 'd rather hear more about your love story . haley : sure , what would you like to know ? smith : i just have a few simple questions about mundane things . like , what 's tripp 's favorite cereal ? haley : [ laughs ] shredded wheat , of course . smith : favorite movie ? haley : `` silver linings playbook . `` smith : favorite baseball team ? haley : chicago . smith : cubs ? haley : no , no , sox . chicago white sox .

[ gloomy music ] ben : nice and quiet on the ride over here . ciara : mm - hmm . i was just thinking about what claire said . about jordan . [ scoffs ] it 's almost like she wants you to go to jail and now she 's just , what ? trying to stir up trouble between us ? ben : well , technically she really did n't stir up anything . jj was the one who brought the lighter to the police . ciara : [ sighs ] right . ben : hey . look , we can debate whose fault this is all night long . the bottom line is -- and the only point is -- that i do n't give a damn about jj or what -- or what claire or the police think . the only person whose opinion that matters to me is yours . which is why i have to ask you if you 're starting to doubt me . [ both laughing ] eve : look at all this , jack ! both : [ happy moan ] eve : [ laughing ] [ both laughing ] adrienne : uh , jack ? excuse me , i 'm sorry . hey . hi , i just wanted to offer my heartiest congratulations on your joyous day . jack : well , that 's -- that 's very nice , but you did n't have to come all the way down here for that . adrienne : well , actually , i have to confess , that 's not my only reason . look , i know you do n't remember me , but you 're still my brother . and because my brother loves you so much , i was just hoping that , well , you and i could get past our differences , you know ? and i 'd like to welcome you into the family . i -- i was hoping -- i would like to officiate your wedding . jack : seriously ? adrienne : yeah . it would mean a lot to me . eve : well , we already -- we already have a judge on the way . adrienne : would you -- would n't you rather be married by someone who means something to you both ? jack : are you even qualified to officiate ? eve : yeah . adrienne : as a matter of fact , i did get ordained a while back for an article i was writing . i guess business and love actually do mix sometimes , you know ? jack : it looks legit . adrienne : yeah , well , it is , and honestly , i would like nothing more than to be a part of your special day . eve : well -- jack : well , you know , uh , eve , we are gon na have a lot of press at this wedding . would n't look too bad for them to see my sister blessing our union , would it ? eve : mm , i -- i guess not . i 'll just -- i 'll call the judge and i 'll cancel . adrienne : thank you . eve : mm - hmm . adrienne : thank you . it will be an honor . smith : [ sighs ] your groom is n't very punctual , is he ? haley : no . uh , but that 's -- that 's one of the things i love about him . in fact , let me -- let me show you something . uh , this symbol ... it means double happiness , and it 's used in chinese culture to -- to celebrate a marriage . the uniting of two souls , and ... that 's how i feel about tripp . he makes me feel whole . smith : that 's a lovely sentiment , but unfortunately it 's not legally binding . so either get this show on the road or i 'm leaving . jj : uh , why do n't i make a few calls ? see what the hold - up is . smith : [ sighs ] tripp : claire , we have been over and over this , okay ? you are my girlfriend . i am your boyfriend . but haley 's entire future is at stake here , so we have to really sell our marriage or she will lose everything she fought so hard for . claire : i know , i know , i know , i just -- come on , it 's so hard being away from you through this whole charade . i mean , you 've got ta understand , tripp , it 's like -- it 's like torture for me . tripp : i know , i know , and i will make it up to you . i promise . claire : yeah ? well , i already miss you . you gon na miss me ? tripp : you know i will . claire : okay , then prove it . kiss me . [ door opens ] ciara : you told me you did n't set the fire , ben weston , and i believe you , okay ? i know that you will never hurt me . ben : everybody in this town thinks that i 'm bad for you , but you 're still here with me . ciara : well ... that 's because they have n't seen what i 've seen . the man who rescued me from the side of the road . who nursed me back to health , who took such good care of me . [ sighs ] the way you treat me , ben ... [ laughs ] it 's almost like i 'm something special . like i 'm precious . ben : you are . ciara : yeah , well , no one 's ever done that for me before . no one 's ever treated me like that , and if ... [ sighs ] someone who can treat me like that could not possibly be dangerous . i know that . i know that deep , deep down in my soul , and no one is ever , ever going to change my mind . ben : thank you . ciara : yeah . ben : it just means a lot to hear you say that again . ciara : mm . then why are you so sad ? ben : because ... i know what i have to lose . these police think that that lighter 's mine . i will go to prison ... and i 'm gon na lose you . forever . ciara : you are not going to lose me ... because we are gon na find a way to prove you did not set that fire . jj : what the hell was that ? claire : what , jj , i -- i ca n't say goodbye to my boyfriend before he marries another woman ? jj : not if you want that marriage to off without a hitch . tripp : jj , what 's -- what 's the problem ? jj : the problem is we have a surprise wedding guest . agent smith . tripp : wait , what ? claire : wait , ice is here ? jj : yeah , and she 's been grilling haley about your relationship while we 're waiting for you to show up . tripp : god . jj : look , you know what , do n't worry . i think haley 's got it under control . but if agent smith opened that door instead of me ? tripp : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but -- claire : it 's okay , it 's okay . do n't worry , i 'm fine . jj : hey , look what i found ! claire : congratulations . i guess .

[ both laughing ] jennifer : well , looks like the happy couple made it to the square on time . eve : yeah , that 's all because your little lame kidnapping plan failed . no , nothing is gon na stop me from marrying jack . even adrienne agreed to officiate . adrienne : mm - hmm . jennifer : what is she talking about ? adrienne : jack 's my brother . i feel it 's only right to support him . eve : yeah , so there you go . excuse us , we are going to greet our guests . jennifer : you 're kidding , right ? you 're not really going to marry them ? adrienne : relax . i know what i 'm doing . ciara : but now the real question is ... how did that lighter end up in the loft ? ben : [ sighs ] the answer is , i have no idea . ciara : i mean , is it possible that jordan planted it ? i mean , she planted my cellphone and charlotte 's baby blanket to make it look like you were the one who kidnapped us . ben : yeah , except she did that at the motel . i was n't even living at the loft then . ciara : oh , right . i forgot . i guess i 'm just not thinking clearly right now . ben : it 's getting late . ciara : yeah , it is getting late . i should probably go home . [ laughs ] except for , there 's this wedding at the loft that i really do not want to attend right now . ben : yeah , it 's probably not so much fun watching your ex - boyfriend get married to somebody else . ciara : wait . that 's why you think i do n't want to go ? ben : [ sighs ] ciara : ben . you are -- no . you are not actually jealous of tripp , are you ? no , come on , we 've already -- both of us have moved on and not to mention the fact that this wedding is completely , completely fake . i mean , he 's with claire now . ben : i know that . except he is stepping up to help out haley chen , and i respect that . ciara : mm - hmm . ben : it 's risky , but i respect that . ciara : i know . oh , my gosh , eve and jack are doing literally everything they can to prove that tripp and haley are just gaming the system so that she can stay in the country , including getting married on the exact same day . i mean , can you believe that ? ben : that is a little extreme . ciara : `` a little `` ? try very extreme . mega . this is ... [ scoffs ] what kind of a person uses their wedding day as a campaign stunt ? eve : yes ! jack : today ! eve : thank you ! jack : on behalf of myself and eve , my bride - to - be ... yeah , yeah ! jack : i wan na thank you for sharing in our special day . and we have a wonderful surprise for you . eve : yes . jack : my sister adrienne kiriakis will be performing the ceremony , and we 're so happy that she could share in our love and this celebration . you know , i never expected to fall in love with my campaign manager .

[ door closes ] you 're jack deveraux 's son , are n't you ? jj ? jj : yeah , uh , i am . hello . smith : tell me , where 's your groom ? haley : he -- he 'll be here any minute . smith : and in the meantime , you 're spending time alone with a man who had a romantic interest in you ? i know mr . deveraux would n't approve . and i do n't know that i understand either . presenting downtherecare with cottonelle . ciara : [ sighs ] it 's not fair . you 're the baby 's blood relative . you should be taking care of him , not lani . ben : i think my blood 's the problem . lot of people in this town still think that i 'm dangerous . ciara : [ sighs ] including most of the cops ... which is why they interrogated us about that lighter . ben : how 'd it go with you ? ciara : he showed me claire 's lighter . ben : and ? ciara : i told him the truth . that the lighter looked a lot like the one i saw you with at the cabin . ben : okay . okay , okay -- no , do n't beat yourself up about it , it 's okay . ciara : [ sighs ] ben : you told them the truth . ciara : i know . ben : you ca n't blame yourself for that . ciara : i know , i know . i just ... i hate thinking about the cops going after you because of something i said . ben : it 's okay . claire : hey , little lovebirds . ciara , did i just hear you say something about talking to the cops ? why ? were they questioning you ? ciara : [ sighs ] yep . i , uh -- i went to talk to the cops , and they were asking me about the lighter that jj found in your jewelry box , claire . ben : yep , they believe your story , claire . that you found it after i left it at the loft . claire : it 's not a story . how else would i have ended up with it ? ben : i have no idea , claire , but all i know is that after i left that cabin i never saw that lighter again . claire : really ? so -- so it was just one big coincidence that it showed up back at the loft ? ciara : must be . because ben had nothing to do with setting that fire . claire : then who did ? i do n't know it 's just -- seems really strange to me , jordan saying she did n't set the fire , 'cause she admitted to kidnapping you and charlotte . why not just admit to setting the fire , too ? ciara : i do n't know , claire . i have no idea . the woman is obviously not in her right mind . i saw that firsthand . but just because jordan did n't set the fire does n't mean that ben did , okay ? it could have just as easily been someone else . claire : well , i do not really have time to talk about this right now , because in case you forgot , my boyfriend is marrying another woman today . ciara : yeah , right , to help her stay in the country . claire : and that 's supposed to make it easier for me ? my god , ciara , could you pretend to care a little bit ? ciara : [ scoffs ] do n't worry , claire . you 'll manage somehow . you always do . jj : there 's nothing suspicious going on here , ma'am . tripp and i are cousins , and he asked me to stand up for him . i 'm his best man . smith : that does n't explain why you 're alone with the bride . jj : i just -- i just came over here a little early because i -- i wanted to tell haley that even though things did n't work out with us , i 'm happy for -- for her and my cousin . haley : and i -- i told jj that even though i was upset that he told his father i was here illegally , i 've forgiven him . after , all we 're gon na be family now , right ? jj : mm - hmm , right . smith : i 'm not buying it . and be warned , if i find any proof that your relationship with mr . dalton is nothing more than a ruse to keep you in this country , i guarantee you will be on your way back to china immediately . jennifer : so that 's what i told him . that i would do everything to help him remember what we meant to each other if he just did n't marry eve today . adrienne : but he did n't agree . jennifer : why would he ? eve has him convinced that his sole purpose in life is to be a successful politician , so he really thinks that 's what he wants . adrienne : well , because that horrible , conniving woman has brainwashed him . jennifer , we have to get him away from her -- jennifer : adrienne , i have tried . i have done everything in my power to make that happen . nothing has worked . adrienne : so you 're just gon na give up ? jennifer : there 's nothing more that i can do . he is determined to marry eve , and i ca n't stop it . eve : uh , yes , this is eve donovan , and i was wondering if you happened to see my , um , fiancé exit the building ? uh , he would have been with a woman who looked like a dried up old twig . [ door opens ] uh -- uh , never mind . thank you . jack ! lord , where the hell have you been ? jack : you would n't believe me if i told you . eve : well , why do n't you try me ? jack : jennifer . eve : ugh . jack : [ laughs ] jennifer made it seem like the hotel was on fire , and forced me to evacuate . eve : `` forced you `` ? jack : did i happen to mention she was dressed as a fireman ? eve : what ? jack : she locked me into a closet , started telling me all these old stories about our history . thought it would jog my memory . make me feel our love . eve : okay , and -- and did it ? jack : nothing . nothing came back . eve : [ sighs ] well , you -- you know ... [ stammers ] i -- i get that . i mean , what a lame stunt . i mean ... i knew -- god , i knew that bitch was up to something . oh , eric tricked me into waiting at the brady pub for this russian informant . jack : excuse me ? eve : no , it does n't make -- you know , it does n't even matter . it was just to get me out of the way so she could -- so she could lock you up . [ scoffs ] that whole , you know , fireman thing , that 's cray - cray even for jennifer . jack : well , no , no . in her defense , it was n't her idea . apparently it was mine a long time ago . she got this from me . a long time ago she was getting married , and i guess i kidnapped her . i mean , yeah , i -- i guess i must have been really crazy to fall in love with her like that , huh ? eve : wait ... jack , you are , uh ... you 're not now . you 're not in love with jennifer now , are you ? hey . you want me . not jennifer , right ? jack : i told you ... despite jennifer 's best efforts ... i have no recollection of ever loving her . i told her the same thing , in addition to the fact that i am committed to my future with you . as mayor ... and first lady of salem . eve : [ giggles ] jack , that 's why we make such a great team . oh , i just wish jennifer could get it through her pea brain . jack : yeah , that -- i think that the -- the -- eve : what ? jack : the reason it was so upsetting is because apparently it was something we shared that was so ... i do n't know , intense ? although , everything that she told me -- this whole love history -- it was if not improbable , it was completely impossible . you know , in the early days of our romance , apparently i could n't even tell her that i loved her . and yet somehow , for some reason , she would n't give up on me . [ laughs ] eve : well , they -- you 're right about it , because it was improbable and -- and that 's why it probably ended . but you and i , jack , oh , my gosh , we ... are so compatible . we want the same things . that 's why we are a force to be reckoned with . and that 's why we are gon na show the people of salem what a true , true ... [ moans ] love story is all about as opposed to that -- that fake news that tripp and haley are trying to sell . so come on . mm . what do you say ? let 's get married . jack : yeah . i 'm up for this . eve : all right . both : [ moan softly ] eve : okay . haley : i 'm sure tripp will be here any minute , but , um , in the mean time can i make you some tea ? smith : no thank you , i 'd rather hear more about your love story . haley : sure , what would you like to know ? smith : i just have a few simple questions about mundane things . like , what 's tripp 's favorite cereal ? haley : [ laughs ] shredded wheat , of course . smith : favorite movie ? haley : `` silver linings playbook . `` smith : favorite baseball team ? haley : chicago . smith : cubs ? haley : no , no , sox . chicago white sox . [ tense music ] tripp : claire , claire , hey , hey , hey . what are you doing ? claire : [ giggles ] well , i do live here , remember ? tripp : yeah , i -- i know that , but haley and i are about to get married , so my supposed ex - girlfriend showing up is n't exactly the best look . claire : ugh , ca n't i just pretend that i 've -- i 've graciously accepted your new relationship ? tripp , i 'm -- i 'm very enlightened . tripp : claire , claire , please , okay ? you know how important it is to make sure this seems legit . claire : tripp , i 'm home ! and 30 days are finally up , which means that ice is gon na let haley stay in the country and you i can finally get back together . tripp : uh , actually , claire , that is not going to happen . claire : what ? why ? tripp : well , after spending this last month together , haley and i fell in love for real . so we 've decided to stay married . oh . claire : is this wedding the only reason you do n't want me here ? tripp : what do you mean ? claire : are you falling for haley ? [ gloomy music ] ben : nice and quiet on the ride over here . ciara : mm - hmm . i was just thinking about what claire said . about jordan . [ scoffs ] it 's almost like she wants you to go to jail and now she 's just , what ? trying to stir up trouble between us ? ben : well , technically she really did n't stir up anything . jj was the one who brought the lighter to the police . ciara : [ sighs ] right . ben : hey . look , we can debate whose fault this is all night long . the bottom line is -- and the only point is -- that i do n't give a damn about jj or what -- or what claire or the police think . the only person whose opinion that matters to me is yours . which is why i have to ask you if you 're starting to doubt me . [ both laughing ] eve : look at all this , jack ! both : [ happy moan ] eve : [ laughing ] [ both laughing ] adrienne : uh , jack ? excuse me , i 'm sorry . hey . hi , i just wanted to offer my heartiest congratulations on your joyous day . jack : well , that 's -- that 's very nice , but you did n't have to come all the way down here for that . adrienne : well , actually , i have to confess , that 's not my only reason . look , i know you do n't remember me , but you 're still my brother . and because my brother loves you so much , i was just hoping that , well , you and i could get past our differences , you know ? and i 'd like to welcome you into the family . i -- i was hoping -- i would like to officiate your wedding . jack : seriously ? adrienne : yeah . it would mean a lot to me . eve : well , we already -- we already have a judge on the way . adrienne : would you -- would n't you rather be married by someone who means something to you both ? jack : are you even qualified to officiate ? eve : yeah . adrienne : as a matter of fact , i did get ordained a while back for an article i was writing . i guess business and love actually do mix sometimes , you know ? jack : it looks legit . adrienne : yeah , well , it is , and honestly , i would like nothing more than to be a part of your special day . eve : well -- jack : well , you know , uh , eve , we are gon na have a lot of press at this wedding . would n't look too bad for them to see my sister blessing our union , would it ? eve : mm , i -- i guess not . i 'll just -- i 'll call the judge and i 'll cancel . adrienne : thank you . eve : mm - hmm . adrienne : thank you . it will be an honor . smith : [ sighs ] your groom is n't very punctual , is he ? haley : no . uh , but that 's -- that 's one of the things i love about him . in fact , let me -- let me show you something . uh , this symbol ... it means double happiness , and it 's used in chinese culture to -- to celebrate a marriage . the uniting of two souls , and ... that 's how i feel about tripp . he makes me feel whole . smith : that 's a lovely sentiment , but unfortunately it 's not legally binding . so either get this show on the road or i 'm leaving . jj : uh , why do n't i make a few calls ? see what the hold - up is . smith : [ sighs ] tripp : claire , we have been over and over this , okay ? you are my girlfriend . i am your boyfriend . but haley 's entire future is at stake here , so we have to really sell our marriage or she will lose everything she fought so hard for . claire : i know , i know , i know , i just -- come on , it 's so hard being away from you through this whole charade . i mean , you 've got ta understand , tripp , it 's like -- it 's like torture for me . tripp : i know , i know , and i will make it up to you . i promise . claire : yeah ? well , i already miss you . you gon na miss me ? tripp : you know i will . claire : okay , then prove it . kiss me . [ door opens ] ciara : you told me you did n't set the fire , ben weston , and i believe you , okay ? i know that you will never hurt me . ben : everybody in this town thinks that i 'm bad for you , but you 're still here with me . ciara : well ... that 's because they have n't seen what i 've seen . the man who rescued me from the side of the road . who nursed me back to health , who took such good care of me . [ sighs ] the way you treat me , ben ... [ laughs ] it 's almost like i 'm something special . like i 'm precious . ben : you are . ciara : yeah , well , no one 's ever done that for me before . no one 's ever treated me like that , and if ... [ sighs ] someone who can treat me like that could not possibly be dangerous . i know that . i know that deep , deep down in my soul , and no one is ever , ever going to change my mind . ben : thank you . ciara : yeah . ben : it just means a lot to hear you say that again . ciara : mm . then why are you so sad ? ben : because ... i know what i have to lose . these police think that that lighter 's mine . i will go to prison ... and i 'm gon na lose you . forever . ciara : you are not going to lose me ... because we are gon na find a way to prove you did not set that fire . jj : what the hell was that ? claire : what , jj , i -- i ca n't say goodbye to my boyfriend before he marries another woman ? jj : not if you want that marriage to off without a hitch . tripp : jj , what 's -- what 's the problem ? jj : the problem is we have a surprise wedding guest . agent smith . tripp : wait , what ? claire : wait , ice is here ? jj : yeah , and she 's been grilling haley about your relationship while we 're waiting for you to show up . tripp : god . jj : look , you know what , do n't worry . i think haley 's got it under control . but if agent smith opened that door instead of me ? tripp : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but -- claire : it 's okay , it 's okay . do n't worry , i 'm fine . jj : hey , look what i found ! claire : congratulations . i guess . [ door closes ] [ sighs ] eve : what do you think you are doing ? jack : you show me yours , i show you mine . eve : stop it ! not until after the wedding , bub . [ both laughing ] jennifer : well , looks like the happy couple made it to the square on time . eve : yeah , that 's all because your little lame kidnapping plan failed . no , nothing is gon na stop me from marrying jack . even adrienne agreed to officiate . adrienne : mm - hmm . jennifer : what is she talking about ? adrienne : jack 's my brother . i feel it 's only right to support him . eve : yeah , so there you go . excuse us , we are going to greet our guests . jennifer : you 're kidding , right ? you 're not really going to marry them ? adrienne : relax . i know what i 'm doing . ciara : but now the real question is ... how did that lighter end up in the loft ? ben : [ sighs ] the answer is , i have no idea . ciara : i mean , is it possible that jordan planted it ? i mean , she planted my cellphone and charlotte 's baby blanket to make it look like you were the one who kidnapped us . ben : yeah , except she did that at the motel . i was n't even living at the loft then . ciara : oh , right . i forgot . i guess i 'm just not thinking clearly right now . ben : it 's getting late . ciara : yeah , it is getting late . i should probably go home . [ laughs ] except for , there 's this wedding at the loft that i really do not want to attend right now . ben : yeah , it 's probably not so much fun watching your ex - boyfriend get married to somebody else . ciara : wait . that 's why you think i do n't want to go ? ben : [ sighs ] ciara : ben . you are -- no . you are not actually jealous of tripp , are you ? no , come on , we 've already -- both of us have moved on and not to mention the fact that this wedding is completely , completely fake . i mean , he 's with claire now . ben : i know that . except he is stepping up to help out haley chen , and i respect that . ciara : mm - hmm . ben : it 's risky , but i respect that . ciara : i know . oh , my gosh , eve and jack are doing literally everything they can to prove that tripp and haley are just gaming the system so that she can stay in the country , including getting married on the exact same day . i mean , can you believe that ? ben : that is a little extreme . ciara : `` a little `` ? try very extreme . mega . this is ... [ scoffs ] what kind of a person uses their wedding day as a campaign stunt ? eve : yes ! jack : today ! eve : thank you ! jack : on behalf of myself and eve , my bride - to - be ... yeah , yeah ! jack : i wan na thank you for sharing in our special day . and we have a wonderful surprise for you . eve : yes . jack : my sister adrienne kiriakis will be performing the ceremony , and we 're so happy that she could share in our love and this celebration . you know , i never expected to fall in love with my campaign manager . [ laughter ] but ... eve : he did . [ both laughing ] jack : yes . you know , one thing i 've learned is that some of the best things that happen in this life are the things that you least expect . right , that 's right ! jack : and no matter how crazy a love story may seem , what matters is that it 's ... true . eve : yes . and -- and you know what ? ours is . unlike that marriage taking place across town , where an illegal immigrant ... no ! eve : no ! is marrying a man she does n't love simply to get her green card ! come on ! no way ! no way . jack : it 's a disgrace . all : yes ! jack : it 's a disgrace , and yet your current mayor abe carver -- abe carver refused to say a single word against it , which can only mean one thing ! what ? jack : he supports that kind of a fraud ! eve : jack ! jack ! jack : he supports it ! if you want a mayor -- if you want a mayor who follows the laws of this land , who wants to protect you , protect your rights , you will stick with me . you will vote for me , jack deveraux ! eve : yeah ! jack : for mayor ! jack deveraux ! eve : jack ! jack ! jack ! jennifer : i thought this was a wedding , not a campaign rally . eve : oh , well , you are so correct , miss horton . let 's get hitched , shall we ? jack : yeah .

xander : i ca n't believe this . zoe : i know . it 's a lot to take in . xander : i do n't understand how you could have let this happen . zoe : i told you . when i found out , it was too late . the baby was already given away . xander : to steffy ! hope 's baby is alive . she did n't die , she was stolen . and hope and liam have no idea . hope : thank you . it means a lot that you 'd want to spend one last night together . liam : i do n't , really . i do n't want any of this . hope : i do n't want it , either . i want what we lost , but that is n't possible . i wish it was . i love you , liam . i always will . you 're the only man that i 'll -- the time we had together was wonderful , but you 're needed elsewhere now . your place is n't here anymore . steffy : okay , that is hilarious . thomas : what ? steffy : remember how dad used to fall asleep reading to us ? thomas : every night . steffy : yeah , apparently , douglas takes after his grandfather . he 's passed out by the crib , book in hand . [ laughs ] thomas : [ chuckles ] well , you know , it 's exhausting , reading to babies . steffy : right ? i know . thomas : i 'm so glad they 're gon na grow up together . i wanted him to be close to his cousins . steffy : he 's gon na have two little girls following him around everywhere he goes . just like you did . thomas : you did worship me . well , until , like , the age of 4 . steffy : okay , more like 3 , and then i realized you were , like , this ordinary annoying brother . thomas : uh , annoying , but wise . you have to admit , you always did well when you took my advice . steffy : [ scoffs ] okay , are we back to this again , really ? thomas : my advice ? reunite with liam . steffy : [ sighs ] thomas ... steffy : what is it with you and hope trying to push liam into my direction ? it 's not up to either one of you . i 'll be the one making decisions about my love life . thomas : i never assumed otherwise . all i 'm saying is ... you put that picture up for a reason , and you can keep saying it 's about kelly and seeing her parents and how they were together , but , in reality ... it 's a glimpse into your future . the future 's here . reach out and grab it . liam : [ sighs ] i keep , like , waiting for you to change your mind , hoping for it , and asking myself , `` is there anything i could say that would convince you ? `` there 's nothing . i know there 's nothing . i know how determined you are . and there 's a part of me that 's in awe of you for that . i mean , you 're the most selfless person i know . you 've proven that before , but this is ...

so because of a gambling problem , he justified stealing a baby ? zoe : to protect me ? yeah . i think he would justify pretty much anything . xander : they would have really hurt you ? zoe : he either had to pay or ... xander : so , how long have you known ? how long have you known , zoe ? how could you keep this from hope ? how could you let her think that her baby was dead ? thomas : this is a huge opportunity for you and the girls . the life you wanted . look , we both know what 's happening right now . they 're spending one last evening together , one final `` hurrah . `` maybe you should call him after , you know , see how it went . steffy : maybe i will , if i do n't see him in person . hope came by earlier . she asked me if liam could stay here tonight . liam : well , may as well kill the bottle . neither of us are driving tonight . or , uh , do you have plans after ?

hope : they 're your family , liam . you belong there . liam : as much as i appreciate you wanting that for me , it 's a little hard to hear you talk about family , given the plans we had . hope : there 's not a day that will go by when i do n't think about what could have been . we could have had a family , only that dream died with beth . and as much as we hate that , as much as we wish it would be different , that 's our reality -- we lost her . zoe : i wanted to tell , okay ? i struggled with it . flo and i both did . xander : oh ! flo . right , yeah , she 's in on this , too , obviously . zoe : you know , i do n't know how much of our conversation you overheard , but ... flo is a victim in this . she was used by my father . he reached out to her , and she agreed to help him before she even realized what she got herself into . xander : i do n't understand how your dad was even able to pull this off . i mean , did n't hope hold her baby ?

do you hear me ? no one can ever find out . especially not hope and liam . xander : zoe , a crime was committed . zoe : in desperation . okay , my father , he made a horrible decision . he was terrified of what those thugs would do . xander : and you can explain that to the police . zoe : i could go to jail , along with flo and my father . i know it seems cruel , okay ? but she 's phoebe now . steffy adopted her . and that makes her one lucky little girl . she could n't ask for a more devoted mother than steffy . xander : well , how about the mother who gave birth to her ? thomas : wait , liam is spending the night here ? steffy : not that i know of , but i told hope that he was welcome to . thomas : okay , well , that 's great . all right , i 'll grab douglas an get out of your way . steffy : no , no , no , no , no . do n't get your hopes up . thomas : how can i not , steffy ? my sister 's putting her family back together ? steffy : you 're getting ahead of yourself , stop . thomas : you 've wanted this for so long . steffy : i never said that ! and i -- i accepted hope and liam 's relationship , and i take no pleasure in their breakup . and even tonight happens , like , i -- i do n't know what it will bring . thomas : it 's all but guaranteed . you 'll see . hope 's doing the right thing . steffy : taking my girls because she ca n't take care of her own . thomas : look , as sad as it is that beth 's gone , it makes life a whole lot less complicated for liam . instead of having two babies with two different women , now it 's just you . you 're the mother of liam 's child , not hope . which means it 's only a matter of time before he comes knocking on your door , and when he does , welcome him back . because we both know this is where he belongs . liam : you know , we 'll always be a family . we 're connected for life . hope : yeah , in a way , because of beth . liam : not just beth . i mean , after everything we 've been through ... [ chuckles ] we 're talking years of memories and experiences and growing together and loving each other and figuring out how to be adults together . we 're more than just expecting parents . we 're more than just a marriage . we are ... greater than the sum of those parts , and i -- i do n't know if either one of us is gon na experience that again with somebody else , but there is something special about us . i hope you see that , and i hope you carry that with you because i always will . hope : i 'll carry you with me forever , liam . every moment , every memory , every look , every touch . and all that time we spent together at home or at work ... the holidays , traveling , our weddings , our honeymoons . even our babymoon . i remember how excited i was to spend that time with you in catalina . catalina . that 's where it all changed . liam : a lot of it did . but not everything . not our love for each other . we were meant to be , hope , and i 'm always gon na believe that . feel the clarity of non - drowsy claritin . steffy : [ sighs ] zoe : it 's awful they 're separating , okay ? but liam has a family with steffy . maybe he 'll get back with her . maybe this is a positive thing . for hope , too . i mean , she 'll -- she 'll move on . xander : [ sighs ] zoe : maybe with thomas . i mean , she 's been really devoted to his son -- xander : a devotion that should be directed towards her own child ! keeping a secret like this ... it can eat away at you . so it 's time to come clean . for your sake ... for hope and liam 's ... ... but most importantly , for beth . the truth has to come out . now ! hope : i hope , in time , you can forgive me . liam : forgive you ? hope : for doing this to us . liam : hope , i do n't want this and i do n't like this , but ... you need it . that 's not something you ask forgiveness for . hope : thank you . liam : beth would have been so lucky to have been raised by you . hope : and you , too . you 're so kind and giving , and i know you 're gon na do everything you can for those girls . and beth did n't live long enough to know that love , but kelly and phoebe will . i wish it did n't have to be this way . i wanted our family . i wanted to raise beth and watch her grow up and maybe even give her a brother or sister one day , too , and ... spend the rest of our lives together . but if fate or whatever you want to call it had n't stepped in ... liam : you do n't have to say anymore , i -- i know . i feel it , too . [ sighs ] hope : i think it 's time . liam : no . hope : it 's getting late . liam : [ sighs ] oh , hope . hope : go to steffy 's . kiss the girls good night , and start this new phase of your life . liam ... be happy . make them laugh . have fun with them . love them . be with them . okay ? so , please , go . do n't worry about me . liam : how can i not worry about you ? hope : because you know how happy it will make me . they 're gon na have the best father . [ giggles ] liam : well , i 'll try to be . but that does n't mean i wo n't worry about you . i 'll always be thinking about you . hope : and i 'll always be thinking about you , too . never doubt . it will always be you for me . when i think of a man with compassion and honor and integrity who loved me and cherished me and made me the best possible person i could be , it will always be you . liam : [ sighs deeply ] [ groans ] with this one little . . . | xander is livid . he wants to know how zoe could have allowed this . hope and liam 's baby did not die ; she is alive and they do not know . he demands to know how long she has known . zoe says she has struggled with this . she fills him in on that hope did hold a dead baby but it was another baby and it was switched . flo did not know either until she came to los angeles and no one can ever find out especially hope and liam . he tells her a crime was committed but zoe says only in desperation . it changes nothing even if she went to the police like xander wants . he says there was a theft and it has to come out now . liam and hope have one last supper and she says it is wonderful but he is needed somewhere else . liam says he knows how determined she is and he is in awe of some of that but he keeps waiting to hope she will change her mind . she says it is a sacrifice , one of the hardest she has ever made . douglas has been pointed in her direction and she is going to be a mother . steffy finds douglas sleeping next to the girls where he has read to them . thomas is glad that he will be around to watch them grow up . he advises her to get back together with liam . she wants to know why both he and hope are pushing her in that direction . he says he knows she wants to and hope and liam are having their last hurrah tonight . she says she knows , hope even asked if liam could stay the night . thomas is over the moon to hear that liam will be welcome so he expects it is only a matter of time before he knocks on the door so he will get he and douglas out of the way . | <s>[INST] xander : i ca n't believe this . zoe : i know . it 's a lot to take in . xander : i do n't understand how you could have let this happen . zoe : i told you . when i found out , it was too late . the baby was already given away . xander : to steffy ! hope 's baby is alive . she did n't die , she was stolen . and hope and liam have no idea . hope : thank you . it means a lot that you 'd want to spend one last night together . liam : i do n't , really . i do n't want any of this . hope : i do n't want it , either . i want what we lost , but that is n't possible . i wish it was . i love you , liam . i always will . you 're the only man that i 'll -- the time we had together was wonderful , but you 're needed elsewhere now . your place is n't here anymore . steffy : okay , that is hilarious . thomas : what ? steffy : remember how dad used to fall asleep reading to us ? thomas : every night . steffy : yeah , apparently , douglas takes after his grandfather . he 's passed out by the crib , book in hand . [ laughs ] thomas : [ chuckles ] well , you know , it 's exhausting , reading to babies . steffy : right ? i know . thomas : i 'm so glad they 're gon na grow up together . i wanted him to be close to his cousins . steffy : he 's gon na have two little girls following him around everywhere he goes . just like you did . thomas : you did worship me . well , until , like , the age of 4 . steffy : okay , more like 3 , and then i realized you were , like , this ordinary annoying brother . thomas : uh , annoying , but wise . you have to admit , you always did well when you took my advice . steffy : [ scoffs ] okay , are we back to this again , really ? thomas : my advice ? reunite with liam . steffy : [ sighs ] thomas ... steffy : what is it with you and hope trying to push liam into my direction ? it 's not up to either one of you . i 'll be the one making decisions about my love life . thomas : i never assumed otherwise . all i 'm saying is ... you put that picture up for a reason , and you can keep saying it 's about kelly and seeing her parents and how they were together , but , in reality ... it 's a glimpse into your future . the future 's here . reach out and grab it . liam : [ sighs ] i keep , like , waiting for you to change your mind , hoping for it , and asking myself , `` is there anything i could say that would convince you ? `` there 's nothing . i know there 's nothing . i know how determined you are . and there 's a part of me that 's in awe of you for that . i mean , you 're the most selfless person i know . you 've proven that before , but this is ... [ laughs ] this is ... this is on a whole other level . and as painful as it is for me to let go of you , i ... i do admire what you 're doing . i admire you . hope : i would n't call giving up on our marriage selfless . it 's a sacrifice . the hardest one i have ever had to make . but it brings me peace knowing that you 're gon na be there for the girls , and that i can help with douglas to navigate his grief . and even though we lost our child ... i realize now what you 've been trying to tell me all along . beth made me a mother . i 'll always be a mother . zoe : i do n't want to make excuses for what my father did . xander : because there are none ! this is insane . zoe : i know , but he was in some serious trouble . xander : because he borrowed some money and could n't pay it back ? so because of a gambling problem , he justified stealing a baby ? zoe : to protect me ? yeah . i think he would justify pretty much anything . xander : they would have really hurt you ? zoe : he either had to pay or ... xander : so , how long have you known ? how long have you known , zoe ? how could you keep this from hope ? how could you let her think that her baby was dead ? thomas : this is a huge opportunity for you and the girls . the life you wanted . look , we both know what 's happening right now . they 're spending one last evening together , one final `` hurrah . `` maybe you should call him after , you know , see how it went . steffy : maybe i will , if i do n't see him in person . hope came by earlier . she asked me if liam could stay here tonight . liam : well , may as well kill the bottle . neither of us are driving tonight . or , uh , do you have plans after ? hope : no , uh ... liam : do you want me to have plans after ? hope : if this is supposed to be goodbye , should n't we actually say goodbye ? i -- i do n't think you should stay here tonight . liam : yeah , yeah . oh , right . yeah . um ... i understand . wyatt 's offered , so ... i can just ... hope : yeah , or ... liam : or ... ? hope : i was speaking with steffy ... liam : [ sighs ] okay , and ... hope : no , i brought it up to her that you needed a place to stay , and there 's room , and she said you 're always welcome . liam : hey , uh , was n't tonight supposed to be about us and not you playing matchmaker for me ? hope : they 're your family , liam . you belong there . liam : as much as i appreciate you wanting that for me , it 's a little hard to hear you talk about family , given the plans we had . hope : there 's not a day that will go by when i do n't think about what could have been . we could have had a family , only that dream died with beth . and as much as we hate that , as much as we wish it would be different , that 's our reality -- we lost her . zoe : i wanted to tell , okay ? i struggled with it . flo and i both did . xander : oh ! flo . right , yeah , she 's in on this , too , obviously . zoe : you know , i do n't know how much of our conversation you overheard , but ... flo is a victim in this . she was used by my father . he reached out to her , and she agreed to help him before she even realized what she got herself into . xander : i do n't understand how your dad was even able to pull this off . i mean , did n't hope hold her baby ? she would have known it was alive . zoe : she held a baby . it was n't hers . there was another mother in labor that night . her baby was a stillborn . xander : and he just switched the babies ? zoe : it 's horrible , okay ? we 're all still sickened by it , flo , me , even my father . xander : you 're the only ones who know ? zoe : and flo 's mom . she found out when she came to l.a . xander : [ sighs ] zoe : so , including you now , just the five of us . and that 's where it stops . no one else , xander . okay ? do you hear me ? no one can ever find out . especially not hope and liam . xander : zoe , a crime was committed . zoe : in desperation . okay , my father , he made a horrible decision . he was terrified of what those thugs would do . xander : and you can explain that to the police . zoe : i could go to jail , along with flo and my father . i know it seems cruel , okay ? but she 's phoebe now . steffy adopted her . and that makes her one lucky little girl . she could n't ask for a more devoted mother than steffy . xander : well , how about the mother who gave birth to her ? thomas : wait , liam is spending the night here ? steffy : not that i know of , but i told hope that he was welcome to . thomas : okay , well , that 's great . all right , i 'll grab douglas an get out of your way . steffy : no , no , no , no , no . do n't get your hopes up . thomas : how can i not , steffy ?
