[ scene_break ] [ footsteps approaching ] carly : sonny ? we need to talk about aj . [ monitors beeping ] ava : we have to do something . sonny : like what ? ava : we have to finish aj off . [ scene_break ] anna : nina clay is dead ? i 'm sorry . i know you worked very hard on that case . how did you find out ? nathan : my -- her -- sorry -- mother , madeline reeves , told me last night . anna : oh . nathan : nina contracted pneumonia , and she could n't beat it . anna : very sorry to hear that . nathan : every day that went by , i just thought she 'd find a way back -- she 'd wake up . and now she 's gone . i was n't even there for her . i - i let her down . and -- and that son of a bitch got what he wanted . clay murdered her ! i got to bring that son of a bitch in . i ca n't fail her again ! i have to get justice for her ! but she 's dead ! anna : all right . look , i understand how much you battled for this woman , but you 're taking this especially hard . i ca n't help but wonder why that is . [ scene_break ] madeline : you must be silas ' slut du jour . i thought ava jerome was bad . sam : you must be the mother - in - law from hell . and i thought livia soprano was bad . madeline : clearly , you know he 's a married man . sam : well , clearly , you know you 're a cliché . madeline : [ scoffs ] after what he did to my daughter , i hardly think my hostility is a cliché . sam : no , maybe it was all that hostility you dished out before someone put your daughter into a coma . madeline : i was protecting my child . sam : no , you were protecting your money . madeline : how would someone whose fashion sense evolves out of the corner car wash know anything about family or money ? sam : listen , lady , i used to bleed men dry . i was a con and a thief . you 're not gon na get anything past me . madeline : really ? sam : yeah , really . madeline : well , not bad . i 'd say , then , on the , uh , madeline scale of 1 to 10 , me being a 10 , you 'd be a 6 , which is very good , considering your youth and ignorance . silas : let me get this straight -- i do n't see you for two decades , thankfully , and suddenly , i ca n't get rid of you now . madeline : you really do pride yourself on your rudeness , do n't you , silas ? silas : only when it comes to you . i see you 've met the mother - in - law that i 've talked so fondly of in the past . are you here to trash the place again ? madeline : do n't tell me you do n't consider this decor . silas : are you implying you 're not behind this ? madeline : that 's what the police told me you thought . sam : let me guess -- you 're denying it . madeline : why would i -- why would i break in here ? what could you possibly have in this hovel that i would want ? your vintage lava lamp ? silas : hmm . i think it 's all part of your screwed - up plan to try to intimidate me into signing those papers relinquishing any claim on nina 's money . madeline : if you really think that , then there 's a very simple way to end all this unpleasantness . sign the papers . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm the one who shot aj . if he wakes up , i 'm going down , not you . ava : the moment we left him bleeding out on the floor , i became an accessory . and i conspired with you to cover up the shooting and put the blame on julian . i am in this up to my neck . kiki : mom ? ava : [ gasps ] kiki : what are you doing here ? sonny : what about aj ? carly : he 's still in a coma . there 's no change . sonny : i feel real sorry for michael , but it 's -- it 's good for the rest of us . carly : he could still wake up , so i 'm wondering , if he does , what will he say ? sonny : if you 're gon na ride me again about being the shooter , i had a clear- cut , you know -- clear -- tight -- airtight alibi , and i promised michael , so i do n't -- that 's all i got to say . carly : sonny . if aj wakes up and accuses you , it will destroy michael . olivia : sonny . sonny . oh , my god . sonny : what happened ? olivia : [ sniffles ] the baby 's gone . our grandson 's been kidnapped . [ scene_break ] dante : britt -- britt , for once in your life , just once , do the right thing and -- and , please , just tell me where your mother took our son . britt : i swear -- if i knew , i would tell you . nikolas : britt ! britt , you stole lulu 's baby . you were gon na let me raise my own nephew as my stepson . you owe her ! tell her where ben is ! britt : i told you -- i do n't know . lulu : britt . britt ! ben needs your help ! i know you love that little boy , do n't you ? britt : yes . lulu : yeah , and in spite of everything , you were a good mother to him , and i promise you that i will be , too . we need you to help us find him . britt : i know you do n't have any reason to believe a word i say , but if i could bring ben back right this second , i would . lulu , i swear to you -- i have no idea where my mother has taken him . dante : then i have no choice but to place you under arrest . britt westbourne , you are under arrest . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki . you surprised me . kiki : clearly . ava : well , i 'm glad you did . i 'm so happy to see you . kiki : [ sighs ] what are you doing here ? ava : well , i figured that you and michael would be here day and night , watching over aj . i just wanted to see how everyone was doing . kiki : really ? ava : yes . really . no matter how much you try to deny it , you know that i care about you , and because you care about michael , i care about michael . has there been any change ? kiki : well , he was taken off of the ventilator , but he 's still in a coma . the doctors say the longer he stays this way , the less chance he has of regaining consciousness . ava : are you saying this could be permanent ? kiki : it 's really bad . i overheard the nurses talking , and they do n't think he 's gon na wake up . ava : [ sighs ] michael must be devastated . kiki : [ sighs ] he is . and he 's exhausted . i finally convinced him this morning to just go home , take a shower , get some sleep . he 's blaming aj 's coma on himself . ava : why would he do that ? kiki : there were two options for treatment -- one was medication -- the other was surgery -- and it was michael 's decision , and he chose surgery , but ... [ sighs ] he just thinks that the coma 's all his fault . ava : he should n't do that to himself . kiki : i know he should n't . i told him that . he made the best decision that he could . the person who shot aj -- that 's who 's guilty -- not michael . ava : yes . you 're absolutely right , kiki . but ... i 'm guilty , too . [ scene_break ] olivia : i just got off the phone with dante . ben was kidnapped from spoon island last night after we left the party by britt westbourne 's crazy putan of a mother . carly : dr. obrecht stole her daughter 's son again ? i 'm starting to feel sorry for this britt girl . olivia : well , then , clearly , you have n't heard . ben is not britt 's baby ! he 's dante and lulu 's . [ scene_break ] britt : this ca n't be happening . you 're arresting me ? dante : i am . i am , and here 's why . i think once you get into a jail cell , i think maybe you 'll feel like doing a little bit of talking . unless , of course , we can avoid the whole thing if you just tell us where your mother took ben . britt : how many times do i have to say it ? my mother did this without me knowing ! i do n't know where she is ! dante : i do n't believe you ! you lie too much , britt . you 've lied to me , to lulu , to nikolas . you were gon na raise my own son as if he was your own son for the rest of your life . that 's why i think you must have had some kind of plan in place in case this was gon na happen . britt : i did n't because i never saw this happening ! my mother did this all on her own ! dante : your mother must have told you something . britt : when ? i never even had a chance to talk to her before this all went down . i mean , if anyone knows what my mother was up to , it 's you and lulu . you were upstairs with her . i was down here with nikolas while he was breaking up with me . nikolas , please . [ voice breaking ] i know you hate me right now , but tell them . you were with me the whole time . i have nothing to do with ben 's kidnapping . nikolas : i 'm sorry , britt . you 're on your own . dante : britt westbourne , you 're under arrest . you have the right to remain silent . britt : you ca n't arrest me . there 's nothing to tie me to this kidnapping . dante : i 'm not charging you for the kidnapping -- not yet . britt : then what ? dante : i 'm charging you for stealing our embryos . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . britt : nikolas . dante : you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you free of charge . britt : please . nikolas : as i said before , britt , you 're on your own . do n't call me this time to bail you out . dante : do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? britt : yeah . dante : i 'm gon na need a verbal response that i can hear . britt : yes , i understand . [ scene_break ] madeline : if you really think i would go sneaking around in the middle of the night in burglar garb , brandishing a crowbar and jimmying open doors , then , for your own safety , why not end this ? just relinquish your claim on my daughter 's money . silas : i 'll sign those papers ... if you tell me where nina is . madeline : [ sighs ] i could have moved her a thousand times over the years , and you never would have known the difference . silas : why was n't she at the clinic when i tried to see her , madeline ? sam : mrs. reeves , come on . silas really cares about your daughter . he 's worried . madeline : where was all that worry for the last two decades ? sam : are you kidding me ? your family would not allow him to see her . clearly , he gave up . madeline : then why visit now ? sam : well , i mean , detective west convinced him . madeline : of all people ... sam : silas just wants to know where you moved her . come on . you got to -- you got to tell him , or else he 's not gon na sign those papers . do n't you want this stupid game of chicken to be over ? madeline : excuse me ? did you just refer to my daughter 's tragedy as `` stupid `` ? ! sam : do you want this to end , or not ? madeline : yes . sam : okay . madeline : i do ! silas . silas : i 'm still here . madeline : if you really must know what happened to nina ... [ voice breaking ] she 's dead . [ scene_break ] nathan : i have been working on the attempted murder of nina clay for almost as long as i 've been a cop . look , i 've spent time by her bedside . i 've spent time with her mother . i want justice for her . anna : mm - hmm . good . yeah , that 's what good detectives feel -- a connection with their victim . there 's some personal history that they share that 's similar , or they 're -- i do n't know -- they bond with a family member . nathan : it 's -- it 's something like that . anna : yeah , i do n't think that it is something like that . ever since you requested a transfer here , i 've had the impression that your connection to this case -- it was -- it was more personal -- exceptionally personal -- intimate , almost , i would say . nathan : `` intimate `` is too strong a term . anna : i do n't think so . i did n't mention it at the time , but i 'm -- i 'm convinced now that your relationship with nina clay goes beyond that of just a good cop . i would like to know what it is . [ scene_break ] silas : say that again . madeline : [ voice breaking ] nina is dead . silas : [ exhales shakily ] madeline : [ sighs ] sam : silas . i am so sorry . madeline : you two are laying it on a little thick -- all that false compassion . sam : `` false `` ? are you kidding me ? she was his wife . he is devastated . madeline : really ? i know the moment i walk out that door , you two are gon na break out the chips and beer and have yourselves a hoedown . after 20 years , you finally did my nina in . sam : you would do anything to hurt him . how do we know you 're not lying ? madeline : i came prepared for your lack of compassion . nina 's death certificate . in case the print is too small or the words too big ... [ sighs ] ... nina contracted pneumonia , and she did n't respond to treatment . and she died . silas : this says she died three weeks ago . madeline : yes . silas : i saw you two days ago ! why did n't you tell me then ? ! madeline : because if you 'd known that nina was gone , you 'd have known that you could get your grubby hands on her money ! silas : ohh . [ scene_break ] anna : look , nathan , if you 're worried about your connection to nina clay and that it 's gon na affect your position here , it 's not . i can assure you of that . [ sighs ] i 'm sometimes personally involved with the cases that i investigate , so sometimes it ca n't be helped , you know ? and i understand . i can help you . nathan . nathan : i got to tell someone . anna : all right . nathan : [ sighs ] okay . nina clay is n't just a victim . she 's also my -- dante : right this way , dr. westbourne . anna : what 's going on ? dante : i 've arrested britt here for stealing our embryos . anna : oh , god . dante : you got her ? i 'm thinking maybe trading wyndemere for a jail cell might make her tell me where her mother took my son . britt : i do n't know where my mother took him . anna : well , we 'll see , wo n't we ? britt : commissioner , please . you know my mother . she kidnapped ben once before . i did n't know where she took him then , and i - i do n't know where she 's taken him now . throwing me in a jail cell is n't gon na make him come back any sooner . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i know everyone is worried about what obrecht might do to ben , but this is n't the first time she 's run off with him . lulu : i 'm not sure how that 's supposed to make me feel better . nikolas : [ sighs ] i know . i 'm sorry . look , i - i know britt 's mother may seem like evil incarnate , and that 's for good reason , but i know that she does love him , and i do n't think she would do anything to hurt him . lulu : you really believe that ? nikolas : yes , i do . when we find obrecht , we 'll find ben , and all this will be over , and you can take your son home with you , where he belongs . lulu : i want to believe that , nikolas . i really wish i could , but i do n't think i can . [ scene_break ] carly : what the hell ? has n't lulu been through enough ? i - i was with her right after she and dante lost custody to spinelli . she was destroyed . sonny : excuse me . i 'm gon na make a phone call . carly : [ sighs ] i have been through what lulu is facing , you know ? that -- that terror of not knowing where your child is or -- or if they 're in pain , or if they need you . and you keep telling yourself that they 're gon na be okay -- that they 're going to come home to you , and that nothing bad is gon na happen . olivia : lulu finally got the baby that she wanted , and practically the minute she found out , he was taken from her . [ scene_break ] lulu : i know you 're just trying to make me feel better -- trying to give me hope . nikolas : [ sighs ] you ca n't give up . lulu : i do n't want to . you 've seen everything that dante and i have been through . every chance that we 've had to be parents -- it just slips away . nikolas : all right , well , that 's not gon na happen this time . lulu : well , what if it does ? what if -- what if our son slips through our fingers the way our daughter did ? what if -- what if we lose another baby ? what if this just is n't meant to be ? [ scene_break ] britt : anna -- anna : `` commissioner , `` please . britt : you know -- we all know -- my mother is perfectly capable of kidnapping ben again all by herself . anna : and you 're perfectly capable of protecting your mother ... again . britt : yes , but i did n't this time . i do n't know where she 's taken my son . dante : our son ! our son -- mine and lulu 's . britt : right . dante : so , okay , you -- you claim you have -- you have no idea where your mother took ben . prove it . britt : how ? dante : come on . let 's get her on the phone . [ scene_break ] kiki : why would you feel guilty for aj 's shooting ? ava : [ sighs ] kiki : did you pull the trigger ? ava : no . kiki ! no , of course not . but the crime did happen in my home . if i had n't gone to new york , if i 'd stayed here , maybe none of this would have happened . instead , i was away on a business trip -- a business trip that seems fairly trivial now . kiki : right . your `` gallery business . `` ava : yes . a business trip ... despite what your father thinks . i heard him trying to convince you that i was somehow involved in the death of a pharmacist in new york . kiki : well , were you ? ava : of course not ! i had nothing to do with that poor man 's death . and nor did i have anything to do with what happened to silas ' wife . kiki : okay , fine . whatever . ava : it is n't , `` fine , whatever . `` i am innocent ... of these things , anyway . kiki , you believe me , do n't you ? i would hate for you to think that i 'm part of this mess with silas ' wife . and while we 're on the subject , no , i am not framing your father . i would never do that to him . i mean , yeah , he broke my heart , but i 've -- i 've moved on , and i bear silas no ill will . kiki : i believe you . ava : you do ? kiki : yeah . i know that you are capable of many disturbing things , but ... i do n't think murder is one of them . ava : do you mean that ? kiki : yeah . i really do . [ chuckling ] okay . it must have been someone else who drugged my father 's wife . [ scene_break ] silas : you did n't tell me nina died because ... i 'm her beneficiary ? madeline : `` beneficiary `` ? parasite . silas : you should have told me , madeline . you should have told me the minute she passed . madeline : you 'd have liked that , would n't you ? you 're about to inherit money that my family earned -- money you do n't deserve -- money that you have been after since the day you set eyes on nina and heard her last name . silas : i never gave a damn about nina 's last name ! i never gave a damn about any of you miserable people ! madeline : we both know that the only reason you married her was because you could n't afford to go to medical school . she was less a wife than she was a scholarship fund . silas : i loved her ! madeline : `` loved her `` ? you loved her so much that the minute ava jerome fell face first into your lap , you made a plan to kill her . silas : i never wanted your money ! i never wanted her money ! madeline : well , congratulations ! it 's all yours now ! silas : give me the papers . give them to me ! sam : well , there goes your theory about silas wanting nina 's money . [ scene_break ] dante : let 's just say , for the sake of argument , that you are telling the truth . britt : i am telling the truth . dante : and you have absolutely no idea where your mother took my son . see , the thing is , last night , in the bedroom at wyndemere , she told me and lulu that she was taking ben for you . britt : for me ? dante : mm . britt : how does her stealing ben benefit me ? look where i am . dante : she said something about you suffering enough and that it was her to blame , and she was trying to make it right . britt : she did n't care about any of the suffering she caused me before . now , all of a sudden , she steals ben to make it up to me ? dante : she said she was taking my son so you could all meet up together . she was acting on your behalf , she says . britt : well , she was n't . so tell me what i need to do to prove it . dante : oh , it 's easy . it 's easy . you get your mother on the phone . you call her right now . you tell her you 've eluded the authorities and you want to meet up with her . [ scene_break ] nikolas : no one can deny that you and dante have been through a - a terrible ordeal , but that does n't mean you were n't meant to be parents . lulu : i think that fate disagrees with you . nikolas : no , fate -- lulu , fate does n't have anything to do with it . lulu : the one time that i got pregnant , i was n't ready to be a mother , and now every chance just falls apart . it 's like , somehow , i put that out into the universe , and so this is how the universe is ... nikolas : no , no . lulu , if -- if anyone is to blame for what happened with britt , it 's me . it 's -- it 's my fault . lulu : how can you possibly say that ? nikolas : because i believed in her . i - i knew that she was lying to patrick , trying to pass ben off as his , and then the whole thing with -- with brad . i ca n't tell you how many times i was warned not to trust her , but i - i did . lulu : well , why did you ? nikolas : why do you think ? i was so in love with her . lulu : i know that feeling . nikolas : i - i know , but i should have challenged her at every turn instead of accepting every word she told me as gospel . and you know -- you know what the worst part of it is -- is that not only did i defend her to you -- i pushed you into accepting her , and i 'm sorry . lulu : nikolas . nikolas , come on . this is not your fault . okay ? love made you do it . okay ? you were in love with her . nikolas : yeah , well , not anymore . not anymore . [ scene_break ] sonny : got some people on it , and hopefully they 'll find ben . olivia : oh , god . thank you . carly , i am so sorry to do this to you , but i got to take the day off . carly : oh , my god , of course . dante and lulu need you . go . olivia : okay . sonny : where are they right now ? olivia : uh , they 're on spoon island . sonny : what are we waiting for ? can we just go ? olivia : yeah . carly : will you please tell lulu that i am praying for her and that i 'm here if they need anything ? olivia : thank you very much . i will . i will . carly : sonny . we need to finish our conversation about aj . olivia : oh , god . honey , we just heard . has there been any word ? lulu : not yet . olivia : god . i ca n't believe it . we left the party last night thinking you were finally -- finally gon na get to be a mother . and then we woke up to this . sonny : where 's dante ? nikolas : he 's at the station . uh , he arrested britt . olivia : good . i hope she rots for what she did . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , nikolas . i 'm sorry . i know how you feel about her . sonny : does he think that she has anything to do with the kidnapping ? nikolas : yeah . uh , he thinks that some time behind bars will compel her to say anything she knows about the baby . olivia : god , i hope that works , and fast . sonny : dante and the police are n't the only ones working on this . i - i reached out to some people , and they 're -- they 're trying to get a lead on obrecht and your son . lulu : thank you . olivia : honey , i know what you 're thinking , and you can stop it right now . you are not gon na lose this baby , too . we would never let that happen . [ scene_break ] britt : mother , call me , please ? i do n't know how long i have . i know you did this for me . i - i know you took ben for me , and i 'm grateful , but i need you to listen . dante and lulu and the police are preoccupied right now , searching for you and ben , so i do n't know how long i have . i need you to call me and tell me where you are , and i will come to you and ben . we can be a family . dante : you know , that was pretty convincing . britt : well , you want to know why , dante ? because i want to find ben , too . i want him to be safe and surrounded by the people that love him , even if it means i never see him again . dante : what do you want from me ? sympathy ? britt : i carried him inside of me . i gave birth to him . dante : because you stole our embryos ! britt : that still does n't change that it happened ! i loved that little boy from the moment i laid eyes on him . i loved him like he was mine . that will never change . i want my mother to call me back , dante . i want to find out where ben is . dante : then we better hope she does . [ scene_break ] madeline : i wanted you to have that . nathan : i remember this day . madeline : that 's my favorite picture of you and nina . nathan : she was so beautiful , so vital . [ scene_break ] madeline : do n't be fooled , samantha . the only reason silas signed this is because he does n't need nina 's money anymore . he can afford to wave his selflessness around like a banner , but that does not exonerate him . sam : there really is no pleasing you , is there ? madeline : wake up . his brother is a serial killer . he has murder in his dna . sam : that serial killer almost killed me . i know all about his brother . but when i -- when i look at silas , i do n't see a trace of him . i see a good man . madeline : a `` good man `` ? a good man who wanted to be with ava but did n't want the complication of a messy divorce , so he just drugged my daughter . sam : you do n't know that -- not really . madeline : [ scoffs ] sam : i mean , come on . i - i get it . you loathe silas . but it 's like you have tunnel vision right now . you 're not even looking at the other major player -- ava . madeline : oh , i 've looked at ava very closely -- believe me . sam : did it ever occur to you that ava wanted your daughter dead , so she could be with silas -- that she 's the one who 's fabricating all this evidence against him ? madeline : he blames the other woman -- the mistress -- and you believe him ? sam : yes , i do . silas : hey , madeline . you got your papers . now do n't let the door hit you on the way out . madeline : and , samantha ? i 've changed my mind . you 're not a 6 . you 're barely a 3 .

miguel : what ? kay : you 're still upset about finding charity with reese . miguel : i 'm just trying to figure it all out . kay : what 's to figure out ? you saw her in bed with reese with your own eyes . miguel : it 's just not like charity . you know , it 's not som thing that she would do . kay : how do you know ? miguel : because i know charity . you know , she 's -- she 's a nice girl . kay : well , nice girls have sex , miguel . miguel : yeah , but not with other people 's best friends or boyfriends . you know , it 's just not something that charity would normally do . it 's not the charity that i know . kay : well , people change . you 've changed . miguel : me ? how ? kay : you have a child now , and being a father means you have all kinds of responsibilities . maybe charity 's being with reese is just her way of letting you know that she does n't want to be tied down that way , that she wants to be with a guy who 's free to do whatever he wants when he wants . charity 's young . she wants to go out and have fun with no ties and no responsibilities . can you blame her ? miguel : no , i guess i can't . kay : it 's taken her a while , but i think she 's finally coming out of her shell , learning just to let loose and have a good time . but i think it 's going to be a long time before she decides to settle down with anyone . simone : charity , where were you ? i was looking for you . charity : i went for a walk . simone : are you ok ? i was worried about you . charity : why ? are n't you mad at me like everybody else ? simone : charity , i do n't know what that was with you and reese , but no one 's mad at you . well , jessica is , but she 'll get over it when she realizes that it had to be some kind of mistake or misunderstanding . charity : why do you think that ? simone : well , because of what you did . i mean , it 's not like you . charity : maybe it 's the way that i should be . simone : what ? charity : yeah . simone , i realized something tonight . you do n't get anywhere by being good . so why not just be bad ?

what are you doing to sheridan this time ? julian : i 'm telling you , i have no idea what you 're talking about . luis : do n't you go playing dumb with me , julian . no , i know damn well that you and alistair have tried to keep me and sheridan apart all these years , and now you 're doing it again . you 've got sheridan locked up in that psychiatric ward , and you 've banned me from seeing her . julian : i do n't know anything ababout that . luis : you liar . julian : i understood that antonio had sheridan committed . luis : yeah , that 's after alistair manipulated him into doing that -- with your blessing , no doubt . julian : i had nothing to do with putting sheridan in that psychiatric ward . my understanding is that her emotional state had been rather fragile after being kidnapped and losing her baby . she thought that beth 's baby was hers . i assumed that antonio had her admitted in order to help her get well . luis : well , she 's not going to get well in that place ! no , i saw her today , and sheridan looks terrible . julian : i 'm very sorry to hear that , but whatever is happening to sheridan i had no part of , and that 's the truth . so , how did you see her if you were banned ? luis : i snuck in . and then alistair and her doctor -- they caught me . julian : alistair was visiting sheridan ? luis : he 's more like standing guard , if you ask me . i 've been with sheridan all these years , and alistair has never given a damn about his daughter . now , all of a sudden , he 's like pepermanent fixture in the psychiatric ward . he 's hanging around , he 's whispering to her doctor , and they 've taken sheridan out of her room and they 've moved her . they 've isolated her from all the other patients . i do n't know what the hell is going on , but i 'm going to find out . now , i 'm telling you , i know that sheridan 's in danger . julian : i had no idea , i swear . luis : whatever . i 'm warning you , julian . i am not going to let you people hurt sheridan , and i will protect her , whatever it takes . and i promise you , i 'm going to get her out of that hellhole . julian : luis -- you really do love my sister , do n't you ? luis : sheridan means everything to me . i do n't expect you to understand that , julian , because love means nothing in your world . it 's all about money and business and screwing people over . and you have no idea the kind of love that sheridan and i have . you 're incapable of experiencing any emotion that 's that deep or real . julian : this child is the product of a great love -- ours . my life would be so different if only i 'd stood up to my father and married you . eve : yeah , but that 's all in the past now . we ca n't change it , so we just have to concentrate on the future . you know , he looks exactly the way that i remember it . i know it was a very short time that i was with him when he was born , but i remember . i think i see a little of you in there , julian . julian : you think so ? eve : yes . i really do . julian : you 're wrong , luis . i have had that kind of love , but i lost it . whitney : you deserve to know the truth , daddy . after all these years , you deserve to know what mom is really like . t.c . : whitney , i think i know what this is all about . i think i know why you 're angry and why you feel betrayed by your mother . whitney : wait . you do ? t.c . : sweetheart , is n't it obvious ? tonight when you told me at the cranes ' that you were back with chad , you knew that i did not approve of that relationship and your mother had . now your mother agrees with me . sweetheart , your mother only wants the bestoror you . whitney : daddy , listen to me -- t.c . : yes ! honey , listen to me . now , i know your mother supported you going to los angeles , but that was before she realized that chad was a liar , that he was a cheat . he was married , honey . his wife shot you . you damn near died . now , what do you expect , for us to just let you be with somebody like that ? whitney : but this is n't about -- t.c . : no , i knew that boy was a liar when i first laid eyes on him ! now your mother knows , too . now , if you want to be upset , if you want f feel like somebody betrayed you , think of chad , because your mother only wants the best for you . whitney : no ! no , daddy , you got it all wrong . this is not about chad . this is about mom ! you need to know the truth about her ! t.c . : whitney , i know the truth ! i mean , what are you talking about ? your mother and i have no secrets . whitney : that 's what you think . daddy -- eve : t.c . , i think it 's obvious -- t.c . : no ! eve : that whitney is very upset . t.c . : but she has no reason to . eve : if you would just give us some mother - daughter time alone , i think that we could work through this . whitney : oh , no . you think wrong , mom . it 's not going to work . eve : t.c . , can you please -- t.c . : but , honey -- eve : could you please go to the kitchen ? whitney and i just need a few minutes alone . t.c . : all right . but i want to be involved in this , too . whitney : oh , daddy , you do n't have to worry about that because you are definitely involved . you 're going to hear everything i have to say . everything . kay : i know that charity 's hurt you , miguel , and i 'm sorry . i really am . but i ca n't say i 'm surprised by what she did . miguel : you 're not surprised that she was with reese ? kay : well , yeah , i guess i 'm surprised that she 's with him . i just meant that i 'm not surprised by this new attitude of hers . you 've got responsibilities now , a baby . why would she sit on the sidelines while everyone else is having fun ? miguel : but i talked to her about that , k .. you know , i told her that i did n't want her to be tied down , and she said that she was fine , you know , that she did n't feel that way . kay : well , of course she 'd say that because she did n't want to hurt your feelings . miguel : i do n't think so . you know , charity said that she did n't want to be partying , you know , or going out and taking trips all the time , you know , that she did n't want to be seeing other guys . kay : well , no offense , miguel , but if she actually meant that , then what was she doing in bed with reese ? actions speak louder than words , right ? what 's that ? miguel : looks like a roadblock . officer : sorry , folks , but you 're going to have to turn around . miguel : what 's the problem , officer ? officer : roads are closed because of all the snow we had . miguel : do you have any idea when they 'll be cleared ? officer : hopefully sometime tomorrow . miguel : all right . thanks . officer : be safe . kay : now what ? miguel : looks like we 're stuck . there was a coffee shop a couple miles back . you want to just wait it out there ? kay : i 'm too tired to sit up all night . why do n't we just head back to the lodge and get a room and get some sleep ? miguel : well , they said earlier that there were n't any more rooms available . kay : we can try , right ? i do n't want to sit up in a coffee shop all night . miguel : ok . let 's just hope some rooms have opened up . kay 's voice : all we need is one . simone : you 're putting me on , right ? charity : no . simone : charity , you want to be bad ? charity : why not , simone ? it 's about time i got out and cut loose , you know . i 'm sick of being the good girl . i 'm sick of being the one who never does anything wrong . simone : people look up to you because of that , charity . i admire you . charity : yeah , the good , sweet , boring charity . no . where has this gotten me ? nowhere . simone : that is not true . charity : am i with the man i love ? do i have miguel ? no . kay does . kay -- somebody who does n't even pretend to be good , who , in fact , goes out of her way to be bad . simone : yoyou 're not saying that you want to be like her , are you ? charity : she gets what she wants , does n't she ? miguel slept with her . simone : only because she tricked him into thinking that she was you . all right , kay will do anything to get what she wants . charity : that 's my point . maybe she tricked him , simone . maybe she tricked him into sleeping with her and getting her pregnant , but the trick worked . miguel 's with her , not me . simone : no . you see , miguel loves you . he does n't love kay . he only wants to be with you . kay does n't have miguel . he 's only trying to do the right thing for his child . you have not lost miguel to kay . you can still have him . charity : i 'll give up miguel . just let maria live . death : are you sure ? charity : yes . maria ca n't die because of me . death : then so be it . charity : you can save her ? you can return her soul ? death : i never took it . charity : but i thought that you said that you -- death : the baby will be fine as long as you keep your bargain and give up miguel forever . charity : no , no . i ca n't break my word or maria will die . i made a deal . simone : what in the world are you talking about ? singer : you are my passion for life simone : charity , what were you just talking about ? charity : nothing . do n't worry about it . simone : no , charity , tell me . you said something about a deal . what kind of deal would keep you away from miguel ? is kay involved in this ? charity : no . no , kay has nothing to do with it . simone : then what ? charity : just drop it , simone , ok ? like i said , it 's nothing . i got to get out of here . simone : where are you going ? charity : i do n't know , but i have to do something . i ca n't stand the way things are . simone : what things , charity ? charity : me , for one ! i 'm going to quit being so damn good . i 'm going to get rid of this goody two - shoes image that i have . i 've wasted way too much time being nice , and i 'm not going to do it anymore . i 'm going to do what i want , i 'm going to get what i want , and i 'm going to have fun . and i 'm not going to worry about what people think and i 'm not going to worry if they think that i 'm bad . in fact , the badder , the better . simone : you 're starting to worry me . charity : why ? why , simone ? because i 'm finally dropping this boring charity image , looking for the real me ? simone : the real you is a nice person , charity . and you 're starting to worry me about this change in you . charity : do n't worry about it . worry about everybody else because i do n't give a damn anymore . luis : oh , no . there 's no way , julian . you 've never had the kind of love that sheridan and i have . julian : yes , i did , but i was weak . i allowed it to be taken away from me . luis : i 'm not surprised . real love requires giving and caring , and you 're incapable of either . julian : i 'm just telling you that i understand how you feel about sheridan . luis : no , that 's impossible . julian : luis , i know you thini ' i 'm a bastard . i accept that . the fact is maybe i am . but right now , i am telling you the truth . i have no idea what father is up to with sheridan , but you 're right to suspect he is up to something and it is nothing good . you see , what father does -- he plans things . then he implements those plans and he controls the consequences . the people involved , no matter who they are , count for nothing . they 're objects to him . and if they do n't do exactly as he says , he finds a way to force tm . m . luis : you think that i do n't know that ? julian : all i am telling you is do n't let him get away with it . you fight him , do whatever you have to do . luis : same thing that ivy told me . julian : yes . well , she should know . and it 's good advice . you take it . you listen to ivy and you listen to me . you fight him with everything you 've got . you do whatever you have to do , but you get sheridan out of that psychiatric ward before it 's too late . liz : are you all right , t.c . ? t.c . : not really . liz : well , i gather that whitney is upset about something . i did n't mean to eavesdrop , but -- t.c . : liz , it 's all right . it 's all right . whitney is upset about something -- something that has to do with her mother . but e problem is i do n't know what it 's all about . liz : yes , i wonder what it 's about , too . t.c . : i do n't know . i mean , eve and whitney have always had a wonderful mother and daughter relationship . so this whole attitude -- i do n't understand it . liz : well , what did whitney say ? t.c . : she said something about losing trust and feeling betrayed , but it does n't make any sense . eve has always been the perfect mother to both of our daughters . i mean , she has gone out of her way to show them how to be moral and how to be honest . liz : yes , well , i ca n't think of anything more important than honesty . it 's the lies that tear relationships apart . t.c . : well , i would never ha t to deal with that with eve because she has always been truthful to me . i mean , eve has never done anything wrong . she 's never gotten mixed up with any bad people . that 's why i do n't understand what 's going on with whitney . i mean , this behavior is definitely not in her genes , and she definitely did n't get it from me or eve . liz 's voice : you are in for one very big shock , t.c . t.c . : that 's why this whole thing going on with chad -- i do n't understand it . eve and i have tried to have the perfect relationship , the perfect model , so why would whitney settle for anything less ? liz : t.c . , listen , i do n't mean to overstep , but perhaps everything is not as perfect as you think . t.c . : liz , what do you mean ? liz : this stuff with whitney . it had to have come from somewhere or someone . now , maybe you 're having trouble accepting from whom . t.c . : you know what , liz ? you 're right . i 've been in denial . it 's been staring me in my face all along , has n't it ? liz : yes , t.c . , it has . eve : i know that you are upset , but i can explain . whitney : how are you going to explain cheating on daddy , sneaking around behi d his back with julian crane ? eve : whitney , please , just keep your voice down , ok ? whitney : oh , what , you do n't want daddy to hear ? well , it 's a little late for all that because daddy is going to hear the truth because i 'm going to tell him . eve : it 's not what you think . whitney : mom , you 're a hypocrite . you know that ? you 're a damn hypocrite , telling me you do n't think chad is the right man for me . he 's not right because he did n't tell me he was married ? how dare you , mom ? how dare you be so upright and moral ? oh , my god . when i think about all the times you would sit simone and me down and preach -- the gospel according to saint eve . `` be good . be honest . be truthful . be the right kind of woman . `` is n't that right , mom ? what kind of woman are you ? what kind of woman does what you 're doing ? eve : it is n't what you think . whitney : no , you have a husband . you have a family . how could you possibly do this ? eve : oh , god ! whitney : and you 're my mom . i actually believed that you were perfect in every way . i believed you and daddy had the perfect marriage , that you loved each other so deeply . and that 's what i wanted . i mean , i wanted the perfect love , the unbreakable trust . but you know what ? it 's -- it 's not real . it 's -- it does n't exist , because it 's all just a lie . right , mom ? eve : oh , whitney , baby -- whitney : no , do n't touch me ! eve : please , darling -- whitney : no , i 'm not your darling . i 'm not your daughter . i 'm nothing to you . do you understand me ? eve : please do n't say that , whitney . i love you so much . whitney : the same way you love daddy ? eve : i do ! i love your father . whitney : please . eve : i just wish that you would let me explain . whitney : you ruined everything , mom . you ruined everything i ever believed in . i just want you to know that . everything that had to do with marriage and love -- eve : no , no , you must n't think that . whitney : how can i think anything else ?

after what charity did tonight , you inink i 'm terrible ? well , at least i did n't try to sleep with jessica 's boyfriend . simone : no . you just want to sleep with miguel . kay : so ? simone : so ? it 's not going to happen . miguel is in love with charity , not you . kay : well , charity made it real clear tonight when she hopped into bed with reese that she does n't love miguel . simone : of course she does . kay : well , you would never know it by her behavior , would you ? simone : you 're up to something . kay : what ? simone : what did you do to charity ? kay : what did i do to charity ? simone : mm - hmm . kay : charity hops in the sack with reese and it 's my fault ? i 'm behind it ? oh , what do you think i did , simone , hypnotize her ? simone : i would n't put it past you . i might not have the proof , but i know you did something to trick miguel into thinking that you were charity so that he would have sex with you . that 's how you got pregnant . for all i know , you did something to charity to make her start behaving so weird , because she 's definitely not acting herself . kay : or could it be ttt she 's finally acting like her real self . have you ever thought of that ? hey , maybe this thing with reese is -- simone : it 's not just about that . it 's everything . kay : what do you mean ? simone : i was talking to her before , and she was saying how she was sick of being good and wants to start being bad , that maybe that 's the way that she is . kay : what did i just say ? ok , i never bought that butter would n't melt act . nobody is that good . simone : charity is . kay : well , it does n't look like she 's going to be anymore . oh , i ca n't wait to see what she 's going d do next . i bet it 's going to be something really good -- or should i say really bad ? [ kay chuckles ] julian : i 'm telling you , luis , you can not let up . you have to fight him with everything you 've got . whatever he 's doing to sheridan , you ca n't let him get away with it . luis : so you 're actually telling me to go up against your own father ? julian : yes , i am . you have to stop him from hurting sheridan and destroying the love that you two share . luis : well , it 's hard to believe this is you , julian . you almost sound human . julian : i do n't blame you for being skeptical . luis : yeah , well , i 'm always skeptical when it comes to the cranes . you and alistair have tried to keep me and sheridan apart for years . julian : it 's a new day , luis . one must remember what 's important . i could n't save my great love , but perhaps i can help you save yours . luis : yeah , how ? julian : alistair will do whatever he must to keep you and sheridan apart , but the given is she is in danger , perhaps even more so than you and i suspect . luis well , i 'm always suspicious when it comes to the cranes . it 's because you 're capable of athing . i just do n't understand how a father could be so cruel to his own daughter . does n't the man have any feelings , any love or compassion for his own flesh and blood ? julian : i do n't believe my father has love or compassion for anyone . to him , those are feelings that are signs of weakness , and real love is something to be either destroyed or manipulated . luis : you 're not just talking about me and sheridan , are you , julian ? but you 're -- you 're talking about yourself , are n't you ? did alistair do something to you ? did he do something that caused you to -- to lose this great love of yours ? who was she , julian ? whitney : you set yourself up at this pillar of the community . eve : oh , whitney -- whitney : this loving mother , adoring , faithful wife . what a laugh . eve : please -- whitney : no . that man in there , that good man believes he married the perfect woman . my god , when -- when he finds out how you betrayed him -- eve : it is n't what you think . whitney : oh , my god . that 's exactly what your lover said . `` it 's not what you think , whitney . `` julian swore up and down you were the innocent in all this . he even tried to get me to believe that you were a good and decent woman . eve : oh . whitney : oh , come on . that 's all you have to say ? `` oh `` ? are n't you impressed by your lover 's defense of you ? julian obviously loves you very much to take all the blame like that , to stand up for you , to protect you . it 's very noble , do n't you think , mom ? you know what ? i just got to ask you one question -- what 's in this for you ? eve : in it for -- whitney : i mean , what are you getting out all of this ? are you in love with julian ? just tell me . i mean , are you just in it for money , or are you just a tramp and a whore ? just tell me . omome to seattle ? t.c . : liz , i hate to admit it , but you 're right . i ca n't face the truth . liz : why do you think that is , t.c . ? t.c . : because it 's too hard and it 's too painful to accept who is to blame for whitney making bad decisions and bad choices . liz : yes . when a child sees a parent being unfaithful -- t.c . : oh , my god . do -- do you think she saw us kissing ? liz : what ? t.c . : no , whitney was in -- whitney was in l.a. oh , but the idea that i could 've destroyed all of those morals and values that eve had set for our daughters -- my god , i do n't know what i would 've done if whitney would 've found us together . liz : what are you talking about ? t.c . , you think it 's you ? t.c . : of course it is , liz . i was the one that almost broke our marriage vows . i kissed you on more than one occasion . liz : no , t.c , you 're wrong . t.c . : liz , i betrayed eve . ok ? i mean , i went out and i found someone else , but it was wrong . eve would 've never done that . she always stayed true to her vows , but i didn't . eve was -- was good , and i was not good . now , that 's what whitney must 've picked up on . that 's why whitney is being so hostile . liz : oh , t.c . t.c . : liz , that 's it -- i 'm to blame for whitney 's unhappiness . liz 's voice : oh , t.c . , i ca n't wait for whitney to tell you the truth . eve : do n't you dare use that kind of language with me . how dare you call me those filthy names . whitney : if it fits , mom -- eve : i am your mother , and you know that i 'm not like that . whitney : oh , you 're not ? ok , then , go ahead and tell me what kind of woman you are . what kind of woman goes up to the crane mansion to be with her lover , lies to her husband , and cheats on him like she 's some common slut ? eve : just stop it ! whitney : do n't you fit that description , mom ? eve : you have to believe me , whitney . whitney : and -- and i 'm not supposed to believe what i saw with my own eyes ? please . eve : i have never , ever cheated on your father . whitney : oh , so , what , that was some double with julian ? you got a look - alike , right ? eve : i have never betrayed t.c . since we have been married . i have never had relations with any other man but him . i love t.c . i love my family . whitney : then why are you with julian ? eve : i 'm not with -- whitney : no , no , no . i saw you hiding at the mansion , so why would you hide if you have nothing to feel guilty about ? huh ? eve : it 's complicated . whitney : that is not an answer , mom . eve : well , it 's not what you 're thinking . whitney : no , i think it 's acactly what i 'm thinking . eve : no , whitney . whitney : you make me sick . you know that ? eve : god , if you would just listen to me ! whitney : no , all you 're trying to do is talk your way out of it , but it 's not going to work . daddy needs to know the truth , ok ? he needs to know what kind of woman he 's married to . kay : there 's got to be one room somewhere in this place . miguel : the guy at the front desk said that everything was booked . kay : what are we going to do ?

miguel : what ? kay : you 're still upset about finding charity with reese . miguel : i 'm just trying to figure it all out . kay : what 's to figure out ? you saw her in bed with reese with your own eyes . miguel : it 's just not like charity . you know , it 's not som thing that she would do . kay : how do you know ? miguel : because i know charity . you know , she 's -- she 's a nice girl . kay : well , nice girls have sex , miguel . miguel : yeah , but not with other people 's best friends or boyfriends . you know , it 's just not something that charity would normally do . it 's not the charity that i know . kay : well , people change . you 've changed . miguel : me ? how ? kay : you have a child now , and being a father means you have all kinds of responsibilities . maybe charity 's being with reese is just her way of letting you know that she does n't want to be tied down that way , that she wants to be with a guy who 's free to do whatever he wants when he wants . charity 's young . she wants to go out and have fun with no ties and no responsibilities . can you blame her ? miguel : no , i guess i can't . kay : it 's taken her a while , but i think she 's finally coming out of her shell , learning just to let loose and have a good time . but i think it 's going to be a long time before she decides to settle down with anyone . simone : charity , where were you ? i was looking for you . charity : i went for a walk . simone : are you ok ? i was worried about you . charity : why ? are n't you mad at me like everybody else ? simone : charity , i do n't know what that was with you and reese , but no one 's mad at you . well , jessica is , but she 'll get over it when she realizes that it had to be some kind of mistake or misunderstanding . charity : why do you think that ? simone : well , because of what you did . i mean , it 's not like you . charity : maybe it 's the way that i should be . simone : what ? charity : yeah . simone , i realized something tonight . you do n't get anywhere by being good . so why not just be bad ? so that 's exactly what i intend to do -- be as bad as i can be . whitney : i do n't even know why i covered for her tonight ! i should have just let my father kill you . but you know what ? it 's not going to happen again because as soon as i get home , i 'm going to tell my father what i saw tonight -- that my mother was hiding . it 's about time he finds out what i 've been suspecting for weeks -- that you and my mother have been sneaking around , having an affair behind my father 's back . and this time when he tries to kill you , i am not goin to lift a finger to stop him . julian : whitney was so upset , i do believe she will tell t.c . eve , i wish there was some way i could help you . i wish i could be there for you , but it would only make everything worse . luis : damn you , julian . julian : luis . luis : you and alistair both . julian : my father and me -- what -- luis : i 'm going to tear your head off ! julian : i have no idea what you 're talking about . what did my father and i do to you now ? luis : it 's not me . it 's sheridan . huh , what are you up to this time ? what the hell are you and alistair doing to her ? huh ? t.c . : whitney , what are you talking about ? whitney : just what i said , daddy . mom is not the woman you think she is , not in the very least . liz 's voice : finally , saint eve is going to be exposed for the slut she really is . t.c . : whitney , how could you say that about your mother ? she is a wonderful woman . she has morals , she has values . she is the finest role model you could ever ask for . whitney : she 's got you so fooled , daddy . well , you know what ? it 's time you knew the truth , so i 'm going to tell you . i 'm going to tell you all about mom , all about her lies and her betrayal . liz 's voice : done for now , sister dear . it 's all over . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life luis : now , you answer me , damn it . all right , now , what are you and alistair up to ? what are you doing to sheridan this time ? julian : i 'm telling you , i have no idea what you 're talking about . luis : do n't you go playing dumb with me , julian . no , i know damn well that you and alistair have tried to keep me and sheridan apart all these years , and now you 're doing it again . you 've got sheridan locked up in that psychiatric ward , and you 've banned me from seeing her . julian : i do n't know anything ababout that . luis : you liar . julian : i understood that antonio had sheridan committed . luis : yeah , that 's after alistair manipulated him into doing that -- with your blessing , no doubt . julian : i had nothing to do with putting sheridan in that psychiatric ward . my understanding is that her emotional state had been rather fragile after being kidnapped and losing her baby . she thought that beth 's baby was hers . i assumed that antonio had her admitted in order to help her get well . luis : well , she 's not going to get well in that place ! no , i saw her today , and sheridan looks terrible . julian : i 'm very sorry to hear that , but whatever is happening to sheridan i had no part of , and that 's the truth . so , how did you see her if you were banned ? luis : i snuck in . and then alistair and her doctor -- they caught me . julian : alistair was visiting sheridan ? luis : he 's more like standing guard , if you ask me . i 've been with sheridan all these years , and alistair has never given a damn about his daughter . now , all of a sudden , he 's like pepermanent fixture in the psychiatric ward . he 's hanging around , he 's whispering to her doctor , and they 've taken sheridan out of her room and they 've moved her . they 've isolated her from all the other patients . i do n't know what the hell is going on , but i 'm going to find out . now , i 'm telling you , i know that sheridan 's in danger . julian : i had no idea , i swear . luis : whatever . i 'm warning you , julian . i am not going to let you people hurt sheridan , and i will protect her , whatever it takes . and i promise you , i 'm going to get her out of that hellhole . julian : luis -- you really do love my sister , do n't you ? luis : sheridan means everything to me . i do n't expect you to understand that , julian , because love means nothing in your world . it 's all about money and business and screwing people over . and you have no idea the kind of love that sheridan and i have . you 're incapable of experiencing any emotion that 's that deep or real . julian : this child is the product of a great love -- ours . my life would be so different if only i 'd stood up to my father and married you . eve : yeah , but that 's all in the past now . we ca n't change it , so we just have to concentrate on the future . you know , he looks exactly the way that i remember it . i know it was a very short time that i was with him when he was born , but i remember . i think i see a little of you in there , julian . julian : you think so ? eve : yes . i really do . julian : you 're wrong , luis . i have had that kind of love , but i lost it . whitney : you deserve to know the truth , daddy . after all these years , you deserve to know what mom is really like . t.c . : whitney , i think i know what this is all about . i think i know why you 're angry and why you feel betrayed by your mother . whitney : wait . you do ? t.c . : sweetheart , is n't it obvious ? tonight when you told me at the cranes ' that you were back with chad , you knew that i did not approve of that relationship and your mother had . now your mother agrees with me . sweetheart , your mother only wants the bestoror you . whitney : daddy , listen to me -- t.c . : yes ! honey , listen to me . now , i know your mother supported you going to los angeles , but that was before she realized that chad was a liar , that he was a cheat . he was married , honey . his wife shot you . you damn near died . now , what do you expect , for us to just let you be with somebody like that ? whitney : but this is n't about -- t.c . : no , i knew that boy was a liar when i first laid eyes on him ! now your mother knows , too . now , if you want to be upset , if you want f feel like somebody betrayed you , think of chad , because your mother only wants the best for you . whitney : no ! no , daddy , you got it all wrong . this is not about chad . this is about mom ! you need to know the truth about her ! t.c . : whitney , i know the truth ! i mean , what are you talking about ? your mother and i have no secrets . whitney : that 's what you think . daddy -- eve : t.c . , i think it 's obvious -- t.c . : no ! eve : that whitney is very upset . t.c . : but she has no reason to . eve : if you would just give us some mother - daughter time alone , i think that we could work through this . whitney : oh , no . you think wrong , mom . it 's not going to work . eve : t.c . , can you please -- t.c . : but , honey -- eve : could you please go to the kitchen ? whitney and i just need a few minutes alone . t.c . : all right . but i want to be involved in this , too . whitney : oh , daddy , you do n't have to worry about that because you are definitely involved . you 're going to hear everything i have to say . everything . kay : i know that charity 's hurt you , miguel , and i 'm sorry . i really am . but i ca n't say i 'm surprised by what she did . miguel : you 're not surprised that she was with reese ? kay : well , yeah , i guess i 'm surprised that she 's with him . i just meant that i 'm not surprised by this new attitude of hers . you 've got responsibilities now , a baby . why would she sit on the sidelines while everyone else is having fun ? miguel : but i talked to her about that , k .. you know , i told her that i did n't want her to be tied down , and she said that she was fine , you know , that she did n't feel that way . kay : well , of course she 'd say that because she did n't want to hurt your feelings . miguel : i do n't think so . you know , charity said that she did n't want to be partying , you know , or going out and taking trips all the time , you know , that she did n't want to be seeing other guys . kay : well , no offense , miguel , but if she actually meant that , then what was she doing in bed with reese ? actions speak louder than words , right ? what 's that ? miguel : looks like a roadblock . officer : sorry , folks , but you 're going to have to turn around . miguel : what 's the problem , officer ? officer : roads are closed because of all the snow we had . miguel : do you have any idea when they 'll be cleared ? officer : hopefully sometime tomorrow . miguel : all right . thanks . officer : be safe . kay : now what ? miguel : looks like we 're stuck . there was a coffee shop a couple miles back . you want to just wait it out there ? kay : i 'm too tired to sit up all night . why do n't we just head back to the lodge and get a room and get some sleep ? miguel : well , they said earlier that there were n't any more rooms available . kay : we can try , right ? i do n't want to sit up in a coffee shop all night . miguel : ok . let 's just hope some rooms have opened up . kay 's voice : all we need is one . simone : you 're putting me on , right ? charity : no . simone : charity , you want to be bad ? charity : why not , simone ? it 's about time i got out and cut loose , you know . i 'm sick of being the good girl . i 'm sick of being the one who never does anything wrong . simone : people look up to you because of that , charity . i admire you . charity : yeah , the good , sweet , boring charity . no . where has this gotten me ? nowhere . simone : that is not true . charity : am i with the man i love ? do i have miguel ? no . kay does . kay -- somebody who does n't even pretend to be good , who , in fact , goes out of her way to be bad . simone : yoyou 're not saying that you want to be like her , are you ? charity : she gets what she wants , does n't she ? miguel slept with her . simone : only because she tricked him into thinking that she was you . all right , kay will do anything to get what she wants . charity : that 's my point . maybe she tricked him , simone . maybe she tricked him into sleeping with her and getting her pregnant , but the trick worked . miguel 's with her , not me . simone : no . you see , miguel loves you . he does n't love kay . he only wants to be with you . kay does n't have miguel . he 's only trying to do the right thing for his child . you have not lost miguel to kay . you can still have him . charity : i 'll give up miguel . just let maria live . death : are you sure ? charity : yes . maria ca n't die because of me . death : then so be it . charity : you can save her ? you can return her soul ? death : i never took it . charity : but i thought that you said that you -- death : the baby will be fine as long as you keep your bargain and give up miguel forever . charity : no , no . i ca n't break my word or maria will die . i made a deal . simone : what in the world are you talking about ? singer : you are my passion for life simone : charity , what were you just talking about ? charity : nothing . do n't worry about it . simone : no , charity , tell me . you said something about a deal . what kind of deal would keep you away from miguel ? is kay involved in this ? charity : no . no , kay has nothing to do with it . simone : then what ? charity : just drop it , simone , ok ? like i said , it 's nothing . i got to get out of here . simone : where are you going ? charity : i do n't know , but i have to do something . i ca n't stand the way things are . simone : what things , charity ? charity : me , for one ! i 'm going to quit being so damn good . i 'm going to get rid of this goody two - shoes image that i have . i 've wasted way too much time being nice , and i 'm not going to do it anymore . i 'm going to do what i want , i 'm going to get what i want , and i 'm going to have fun . and i 'm not going to worry about what people think and i 'm not going to worry if they think that i 'm bad . in fact , the badder , the better . simone : you 're starting to worry me . charity : why ? why , simone ? because i 'm finally dropping this boring charity image , looking for the real me ? simone : the real you is a nice person , charity . and you 're starting to worry me about this change in you . charity : do n't worry about it . worry about everybody else because i do n't give a damn anymore . luis : oh , no . there 's no way , julian . you 've never had the kind of love that sheridan and i have . julian : yes , i did , but i was weak . i allowed it to be taken away from me . luis : i 'm not surprised . real love requires giving and caring , and you 're incapable of either . julian : i 'm just telling you that i understand how you feel about sheridan . luis : no , that 's impossible . julian : luis , i know you thini ' i 'm a bastard . i accept that . the fact is maybe i am . but right now , i am telling you the truth . i have no idea what father is up to with sheridan , but you 're right to suspect he is up to something and it is nothing good . you see , what father does -- he plans things . then he implements those plans and he controls the consequences . the people involved , no matter who they are , count for nothing . they 're objects to him . and if they do n't do exactly as he says , he finds a way to force tm . m . luis : you think that i do n't know that ? julian : all i am telling you is do n't let him get away with it . you fight him , do whatever you have to do . luis : same thing that ivy told me . julian : yes . well , she should know . and it 's good advice . you take it . you listen to ivy and you listen to me . you fight him with everything you 've got . you do whatever you have to do , but you get sheridan out of that psychiatric ward before it 's too late . liz : are you all right , t.c . ? t.c . : not really . liz : well , i gather that whitney is upset about something . i did n't mean to eavesdrop , but -- t.c . : liz , it 's all right . it 's all right . whitney is upset about something -- something that has to do with her mother . but e problem is i do n't know what it 's all about . liz : yes , i wonder what it 's about , too . t.c . : i do n't know . i mean , eve and whitney have always had a wonderful mother and daughter relationship . so this whole attitude -- i do n't understand it . liz : well , what did whitney say ? t.c . : she said something about losing trust and feeling betrayed , but it does n't make any sense . eve has always been the perfect mother to both of our daughters . i mean , she has gone out of her way to show them how to be moral and how to be honest . liz : yes , well , i ca n't think of anything more important than honesty . it 's the lies that tear relationships apart . t.c . : well , i would never ha t to deal with that with eve because she has always been truthful to me . i mean , eve has never done anything wrong . she 's never gotten mixed up with any bad people . that 's why i do n't understand what 's going on with whitney . i mean , this behavior is definitely not in her genes , and she definitely did n't get it from me or eve . liz 's voice : you are in for one very big shock , t.c . t.c . : that 's why this whole thing going on with chad -- i do n't understand it . eve and i have tried to have the perfect relationship , the perfect model , so why would whitney settle for anything less ? liz : t.c . , listen , i do n't mean to overstep , but perhaps everything is not as perfect as you think . t.c . : liz , what do you mean ? liz : this stuff with whitney . it had to have come from somewhere or someone . now , maybe you 're having trouble accepting from whom . t.c . : you know what , liz ? you 're right . i 've been in denial . it 's been staring me in my face all along , has n't it ? liz : yes , t.c . , it has . eve : i know that you are upset , but i can explain . whitney : how are you going to explain cheating on daddy , sneaking around behi d his back with julian crane ? eve : whitney , please , just keep your voice down , ok ? whitney : oh , what , you do n't want daddy to hear ? well , it 's a little late for all that because daddy is going to hear the truth because i 'm going to tell him . eve : it 's not what you think . whitney : mom , you 're a hypocrite . you know that ? you 're a damn hypocrite , telling me you do n't think chad is the right man for me . he 's not right because he did n't tell me he was married ? how dare you , mom ? how dare you be so upright and moral ? oh , my god . when i think about all the times you would sit simone and me down and preach -- the gospel according to saint eve . `` be good . be honest . be truthful . be the right kind of woman . `` is n't that right , mom ? what kind of woman are you ? what kind of woman does what you 're doing ? eve : it is n't what you think . whitney : no , you have a husband . you have a family . how could you possibly do this ? eve : oh , god ! whitney : and you 're my mom . i actually believed that you were perfect in every way . i believed you and daddy had the perfect marriage , that you loved each other so deeply . and that 's what i wanted . i mean , i wanted the perfect love , the unbreakable trust . but you know what ? it 's -- it 's not real . it 's -- it does n't exist , because it 's all just a lie . right , mom ? eve : oh , whitney , baby -- whitney : no , do n't touch me ! eve : please , darling -- whitney : no , i 'm not your darling . i 'm not your daughter . i 'm nothing to you . do you understand me ? eve : please do n't say that , whitney . i love you so much . whitney : the same way you love daddy ? eve : i do ! i love your father . whitney : please . eve : i just wish that you would let me explain . whitney : you ruined everything , mom . you ruined everything i ever believed in . i just want you to know that . everything that had to do with marriage and love -- eve : no , no , you must n't think that . whitney : how can i think anything else ?

after what charity did tonight , you inink i 'm terrible ? well , at least i did n't try to sleep with jessica 's boyfriend . simone : no . you just want to sleep with miguel . kay : so ? simone : so ? it 's not going to happen . miguel is in love with charity , not you . kay : well , charity made it real clear tonight when she hopped into bed with reese that she does n't love miguel . simone : of course she does . kay : well , you would never know it by her behavior , would you ? simone : you 're up to something . kay : what ? simone : what did you do to charity ? kay : what did i do to charity ? simone : mm - hmm . kay : charity hops in the sack with reese and it 's my fault ? i 'm behind it ? oh , what do you think i did , simone , hypnotize her ? simone : i would n't put it past you . i might not have the proof , but i know you did something to trick miguel into thinking that you were charity so that he would have sex with you . that 's how you got pregnant . for all i know , you did something to charity to make her start behaving so weird , because she 's definitely not acting herself . kay : or could it be ttt she 's finally acting like her real self . have you ever thought of that ? hey , maybe this thing with reese is -- simone : it 's not just about that . it 's everything . kay : what do you mean ? simone : i was talking to her before , and she was saying how she was sick of being good and wants to start being bad , that maybe that 's the way that she is . kay : what did i just say ? ok , i never bought that butter would n't melt act . nobody is that good . simone : charity is . kay : well , it does n't look like she 's going to be anymore . oh , i ca n't wait to see what she 's going d do next . i bet it 's going to be something really good -- or should i say really bad ? [ kay chuckles ] julian : i 'm telling you , luis , you can not let up . you have to fight him with everything you 've got . whatever he 's doing to sheridan , you ca n't let him get away with it . luis : so you 're actually telling me to go up against your own father ? julian : yes , i am . you have to stop him from hurting sheridan and destroying the love that you two share . luis : well , it 's hard to believe this is you , julian . you almost sound human . julian : i do n't blame you for being skeptical . luis : yeah , well , i 'm always skeptical when it comes to the cranes . you and alistair have tried to keep me and sheridan apart for years . julian : it 's a new day , luis . one must remember what 's important . i could n't save my great love , but perhaps i can help you save yours . luis : yeah , how ? julian : alistair will do whatever he must to keep you and sheridan apart , but the given is she is in danger , perhaps even more so than you and i suspect . luis well , i 'm always suspicious when it comes to the cranes . it 's because you 're capable of athing . i just do n't understand how a father could be so cruel to his own daughter . does n't the man have any feelings , any love or compassion for his own flesh and blood ? julian : i do n't believe my father has love or compassion for anyone . to him , those are feelings that are signs of weakness , and real love is something to be either destroyed or manipulated . luis : you 're not just talking about me and sheridan , are you , julian ? but you 're -- you 're talking about yourself , are n't you ? did alistair do something to you ? did he do something that caused you to -- to lose this great love of yours ? who was she , julian ? whitney : you set yourself up at this pillar of the community . eve : oh , whitney -- whitney : this loving mother , adoring , faithful wife . what a laugh . eve : please -- whitney : no . that man in there , that good man believes he married the perfect woman . my god , when -- when he finds out how you betrayed him -- eve : it is n't what you think . whitney : oh , my god . that 's exactly what your lover said . `` it 's not what you think , whitney . `` julian swore up and down you were the innocent in all this . he even tried to get me to believe that you were a good and decent woman . eve : oh . whitney : oh , come on . that 's all you have to say ? `` oh `` ? are n't you impressed by your lover 's defense of you ? julian obviously loves you very much to take all the blame like that , to stand up for you , to protect you . it 's very noble , do n't you think , mom ? you know what ? i just got to ask you one question -- what 's in this for you ? eve : in it for -- whitney : i mean , what are you getting out all of this ? are you in love with julian ? just tell me . i mean , are you just in it for money , or are you just a tramp and a whore ?

[ scene_break ] sam : this is ridiculous . i should just pay rent . robin : you do seem to end up here a lot , do n't you ? sam : yeah . quite a bit . robin : ok . are you feeling any cramping ? sam : no . not at the moment . robin : all right . tell me what happened . sam : nothing . i mean , nothing really . i was just working . it was my first time back to work since the surgery , and i went up a flight of stairs , i had to duck behind this potted plant -- robin : ok . is that when the cramping occurred ? sam : no . i 'm -- i mean , i do n't know . robin : ok . i 'm going to order a round of x - rays and an ultrasound , unless spinelli 's right . is there a chance you could be pregnant ? sam : ohh . i do n't know . what are the odds ? robin : i 'm more interested in the facts . sam : well , technically , i suppose . i 'm not on birth control . but no . this is ridiculous . this is spinelli just making this up in his head . he wants this so bad , he 's trying to will it . robin : well , no reason not to know for sure . i 'm ordering a pregnancy test as well .

[ scene_break ] jason : you know , my first impulse is to try and fix things for you . that 's how everything got started that summer lucky was addicted to pills . i cared about you so much . i just wanted to make things better . elizabeth : you did . jason : yeah . but at what cost ? you know , nothing 's ever really been the same , least of all you and lucky . elizabeth : it was my relationship , too . i turned to you . i leaned on you . i chose to shut lucky out . jason : i should n't have interfered . elizabeth : if you did n't , we would n't have had jake , even for the time that we had him . jason : you know , when i -- when i think about him , i realize i would do it all again . you know , how i 'd go through that exact same pain just to have five minutes back with my son . elizabeth : yeah , i know . jason : and i have the same impulse to actually help you . but honestly , i do n't think i can . i 'd be happy to talk to lucky , but i do n't think i 'd make as much impact as you would . elizabeth : you know what ? you 're right . it 's on me . i should reach out to lucky and try and help him the way he 's always helped me .

[ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli . spinelli . are you ok ? spinelli : maxie ? um -- maxie . gosh . i hope you 're not ill . maxie : no . i 'm -- i 'm not sick . but you look a little green . why do n't we sit and talk ? spinelli : i 've been a bad friend . maxie : somehow , i doubt that 's true . spinelli : no , it 's true . i did n't have my partner 's back . maxie : this is about sam ? spinelli : yeah . i should have taken better care of her , especially considering her possible delicate condition . maxie : ok . somehow , i feel you 're starting at the end . so let 's go back . spinelli : fair samantha 's been restless . she 's not a very good patient . and she insisted on accompanying me on a stakeout . it 's the first since her surgery . maxie : that 's not such a big deal . i know from experience that stakeouts can be kind of boring . you just hang out behind a column hoping not to fall asleep . spinelli : yeah , that would have been the case , had the jackal been able to control his sneeze reflex . but alas , he could not , which necessitated a hasty and rather haphazard retreat behind an opportunely placed potted plant . the resulting contortion caused fair samantha to have some cramp . maxie : maybe she just has n't fully healed yet . and that 's worrisome , but not tragic . spinelli : what if it is ? what if my incaution caused harm to her unborn child ? [ scene_break ] sam : this is ridiculous . i should just pay rent . robin : you do seem to end up here a lot , do n't you ? sam : yeah . quite a bit . robin : ok . are you feeling any cramping ? sam : no . not at the moment . robin : all right . tell me what happened . sam : nothing . i mean , nothing really . i was just working . it was my first time back to work since the surgery , and i went up a flight of stairs , i had to duck behind this potted plant -- robin : ok . is that when the cramping occurred ? sam : no . i 'm -- i mean , i do n't know . robin : ok . i 'm going to order a round of x - rays and an ultrasound , unless spinelli 's right . is there a chance you could be pregnant ? sam : ohh . i do n't know . what are the odds ? robin : i 'm more interested in the facts . sam : well , technically , i suppose . i 'm not on birth control . but no . this is ridiculous . this is spinelli just making this up in his head . he wants this so bad , he 's trying to will it . robin : well , no reason not to know for sure . i 'm ordering a pregnancy test as well . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucky is incredibly strong , but he 's missing a huge part of his support system . jason : and that 's luke ? elizabeth : yes . they 're so close , and they 're both grieving , and they 're not able to lean on each other . jason : i am listening to you , elizabeth , but the concern i 'm hearing is n't just for lucky , it 's for luke ? elizabeth : yes . i 'm concerned about him . jason : why ? how ? luke killed our son . elizabeth : it 's not like he aimed his car and decided it was a good night -- jason : he might as well have . he was drinking . elizabeth : are we really going to fight about this ? jason : i 'm not fighting , ok ? i 'm sorry if it sounds that way . i 'm really trying to understand , why are n't you angrier at luke ? lucky , i get . he ca n't keep blaming his dad . it 's his dad . but you were jake 's mother . elizabeth : i am jake 's mother . that will never be in the past for me . jason : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : when i nearly destroyed lucky by sleeping with nikolas , luke did n't judge me . no matter what i 've done , he has always shown me compassion . and he 's been my father - in - law twice . he 's family . jason : but he was wrong , elizabeth . elizabeth : i 'm not going to beat luke up , ok ? he 's doing a really good job of that all by himself . i mean , look what he 's doing . he is systematically dismantling his life because he does n't believe he deserves anything good . jason : maybe he does n't . elizabeth : you 're entitled to your feelings , but your feelings are n't mine . jason : fair enough . i 'm sorry . i interrupted you . you were going to say something about lucky . elizabeth : yes . i ca n't imagine what it cost him , but lucky set aside his pride and his anger , and he went to find luke with the intention of bringing him home . and luke was n't interested . he turned him away and said horrible things that i do n't think lucky can forgive him for . jason : sounds like luke . elizabeth : listen . i do n't want lucky 's heart to harden . i do n't want him to become someone else . jason : you have to stop it . i ca n't . you 're the only one .

[ scene_break ] jason : you know , my first impulse is to try and fix things for you . that 's how everything got started that summer lucky was addicted to pills . i cared about you so much . i just wanted to make things better . elizabeth : you did . jason : yeah . but at what cost ? you know , nothing 's ever really been the same , least of all you and lucky . elizabeth : it was my relationship , too . i turned to you . i leaned on you . i chose to shut lucky out . jason : i should n't have interfered . elizabeth : if you did n't , we would n't have had jake , even for the time that we had him . jason : you know , when i -- when i think about him , i realize i would do it all again . you know , how i 'd go through that exact same pain just to have five minutes back with my son . elizabeth : yeah , i know . jason : and i have the same impulse to actually help you . but honestly , i do n't think i can . i 'd be happy to talk to lucky , but i do n't think i 'd make as much impact as you would . elizabeth : you know what ? you 're right . it 's on me . i should reach out to lucky and try and help him the way he 's always helped me .

[ scene_break ] rex : sorry , bo . i know you 're against this , but have no choice . [ scene_break ] nash : i know exactly what tess would be saying , but i do n't think you want to hear it . jessica : well , i asked , did n't i ? nash : all righty . ahem . she would be pissed that you decided to give her daughter , who she named , a nickname . she would think that was completely unfair . so , she 'd get upset . she would call antonio a jerk and a creep and a sneak , and then i would try to calm her down , and she 'd throw her hands in the air and get pissed at me and call me a jerk and a sneak and a creep and probably worse . but then she would realize that i 'm not the one she should 've been mad at , so she 'd start apologizing for having lashed out at me . and then we 'd make up , and we 'd end up in bed , making love . that happened a lot . jessica : is that supposed to make me jealous or something ? nash : now , why would that make you jealous ? jessica : hearing about all of the wonderful sex that you and tess have , ok ? why would i be interested in that ? why would i care ? nash : i do n't know -- you asked . i was just about to ask you why you were so curious . you 've never wanted to talk about this before . jessica : well , because i had another memory last night about tess when you were on the phone to that lawyer guy . nash : the one who put the drug in tess ' drink ? jessica : i got to go . carlotta needs to -- nash : jessica , please -- hey . after bruce put that drug in tess ' drink , do you remember what happened next ?

[ scene_break ] adriana : the more i think about it , the more it makes sense . it plays into all his insecurities . bruce : how so ? adriana : well , rex always saw himself as the bad guy , you know , the screw - up , and i think this w his way of turning himself into the good guy in my eyes . he 's totally warped , but i guess he was desperate -- so desperate that he did n't care about the nightmare he was putting me through . bruce : sounds to me like you 're not going to be able to forgive him . adriana : i really should n't be going on like this . all i want to do is get home , although i do n't know why . all my mother is going to do when i get there is say `` i told you so . `` bruce : yeah , but at least you know your mother loves you and that she 's only looking out for your best interests . adriana : i suppose . bruce : well , looks like someone 's pulling in -- must be the guy who runs the station . i 'll get us some gas , we 'll be on our way . adriana : great . would you mind -- i 'm so thirsty . um -- would you mi getting me a bottle of water ? i 'm sorry that i ca n't even pay you for it -- bruce : do n't even finish that sentence . i 'd be more than happy to get you anything you want . adriana : thank you .

hope : and she blames all of that on my mom . steffy : no , not all of it . i mean , some of it , yeah , but she 's dealing with a lot , with pain and with guilt . she just needs time . please . please do n't tell anyone . hope : uh , that 's , uh , too late . steffy : what ? hope : i ... told -- told someone . steffy : who ? hope : my mom . taylor : what does that mean , what i 'm capable of ? brooke : maybe i should stay . and you and i can watch kelly together . taylor : are you implying that i should n't be here , alone with my own granddaughter ? brooke : you were on the attack today , taylor . is that really a good place to be while caring for an infant ? taylor : well , excuse me for being a little upset when your daughter told me to leave los angeles . being here with my granddaughter will improve my mood , thank you very much . you really have a lot of gall . this is my daughter 's house . if anybody should n't be here , it 's you . so why ca n't you just leave me alone ? you 're married to ridge , your daughter has liam -- everything has worked out just fine for you . so why are you doing this ? why are you still harassing me ? you are the last person to judge me . brooke : oh , and here we go . the great dr . taylor hayes , about ready to explain how horrible i am . standing her moral high ground . taylor : okay , fine . i accept your false impression of me , but i have never said that i do n't make mistakes . brooke : oh , i know you do . while i get berated for stealing husbands and breaking up marriages and wearing lingerie and following my heart , as if any of those things were a crime . taylor : there was nothing innocent about the way you pursued my husband . if that is n't a crime , i do n't know what is . brooke : do you need me to define it for you ? an actual crime , usually committed by a morally compromised person . they would walk into a home , pick up a gun , and shoot somebody in the back . i know what you did , taylor . you did that . you shot bill . | brooke laments to hope this can not be true . she and taylor had their bouts but she was always pretty gentle and it makes no sense that she would shoot bill . steffy sits and thinks about what liam told her that he had to tell hope . she has to tell her mom . liam goes to see bill at the office and says he knows he should have called first and had a reason but they need to talk . bill says he does not need a reason ; he is glad he is there . taylor tells steffy that she apologized to liam and she will apologize again to steffy but she can not keep stuffing down all this pain . and it is all because of bill . liam tells bill there have been new developments in his shooting . bill thinks he means with the detective . liam says not exactly . he had to tell hope that it was taylor that shot him . bill grouses that the more people that know the greater chance it is going to come out . liam says steffy asked them to keep it a secret so they have all tried to adhere to that . but he ca n't help but feel shaky and thinks that taylor should just leave l. a. for good . taylor tells steffy that therapy is real hard in bringing up old pain . steffy needs to believe her ; that was not her , but maybe it was . nothing will keep her from protecting steffy . she is afraid the police will come knocking at her door despite what bill said , but maybe all will be okay if it just remains with steffy , bill and liam . brooke laments to hope that she can not believe taylor plotted to kill bill . hope says no , she found the opportunity and her motherly instincts kicked in . brooke says not only is she a little crazy but now she is dangerous . and after all these years of taylor calling her names now this is worse than anything brooke has ever done . and now taylor could go to jail . bill hopes he and liam can get back to their father and son relationship . liam says he can not say that but they can get back to something . bill says he is there for him , for anything he wants , and now that liam is a father too perhaps he will understand that . hope gets a text and steffy tells her to close the door . steffy says she knows that hope knows what her mother did . | <s>[INST] brooke : this ca n't be true . hope : she did it . taylor shot bill . brooke : it just does n't make sense . i mean , taylor and i , we 've -- we 've had our moments ... but it 's always been kind of innocent ... somewhat . then , one thing leads to another , we end up slapping each other or throwing cake ... but a gun ? hope : well ... you know , she thought bill violated steffy . so taylor went to his house , saw his gun , picked it up ... brooke : and pulled the trigger . [ sighs ] taylor ? liam : i 'm not blaming you for your mom , but seeing her like that , it did raise a red flag , and ... listen , i had no choice . i ... i had to tell hope about your mom shooting my dad . taylor : you okay ? steffy : yeah . taylor : are you sure ? [ sighs ] you 're upset with me , are n't you . you 're upset that i told liam how i really feel . steffy : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] liam : you got a minute ? i know i should 've called -- bill : no , no . what are you talking about ? you 're welcome anytime . you know that . liam : thanks . bill : seriously , liam , you do n't need a reason to come by . but it seems like you have one . liam : yeah , i have one . we need to talk . taylor : i apologized to liam . steffy : i know . taylor : and -- and i 'll apologize again to you , too , sweetheart . but -- but i ca n't help how i feel . i ca n't keep stuffing down all this pain . especially knowing how different your life is now . kelly 's life ... this is all because of bill . steffy : you 're not wrong . bill caused a lot of damage . and the worst part was n't the end of my marriage . it 's what he could do to you . you shot a man , mom . and i really do n't know if you 're gon na be able to get past it . bill : what 's up ? liam : uh , well , there have been some ... developments regarding the shooting . bill : sanchez come to see you , too ? liam : the detective ? no . bill : oh . well , he was here , sniffing around . the case is still open . then taylor came by , worried i would n't keep the secret . liam : uh , yeah . uh , steffy mentioned that . she said you swore you would n't turn her in . bill : right , i won't . only the four of us know what happened , and it 's gon na stay that way . liam : well , uh , no . not exactly . hope knows . bill : how ? liam : i told her . brooke : all these months , wondering who tried to kill him , who could be so cruel , and it was taylor . taylor . she just shot him and left him to die . hope : well , i do n't know all the details , but ... brooke : so , liam and bill have been keeping this secret ? and steffy ? hope : and taylor , too . brooke : why ? hope : they were the only ones who knew , until today . brooke : why is n't she in jail ? hope : because steffy begged bill to spare her . and she asked . he listened . bill : the more people in on the secret , liam , the greater the chances of it coming out and everyone knowing about it . liam : i know . trust me , i know . but you understand why i had to tell hope . bill : sure . i mean , if you have genuine concerns about taylor , of course you have to clue hope in , but , i mean , her ire is directed at me . liam : see ? no , exactly . this is my point -- you of all people know how far taylor 's willing to go to protect her daughter . listen , i do n't want to think bad thoughts about taylor . i do n't want to believe that she could lose it like she did with you . but more and more , i 'm asking myself , `` why are we all willing to take that risk ? `` bill : because steffy asked us to . look , you know , she knows her mother best . i went to steffy with my concerns , and she said she would keep taylor in check . liam : okay . but ... if something were to happen ... i do n't know , dad . i do n't know . i just -- i ca n't shake this feeling that ... we 'd all be better off if taylor left l.a. for good . taylor : sweetheart , i do n't want you worrying about this . that is the last thing i want . i 'm your mother . i should be taking care of you , not the other way around . steffy : i ca n't help it . what you did will affect the rest of your life . are you still in therapy ? taylor : yes , i am . steffy : is it working ? taylor : i mean , i do n't know . i do n't know . it 's really hard . honey ... the therapy is really hard . [ sniffles ] it 's bringing up a lot of ... old pains ... things i do n't -- i do n't want to bother you with . all i know is , what happened with bill , that is n't me . honey , you 've got to believe me . that is n't me . steffy : no , no , of course it isn't . taylor : or maybe it is . i do n't know . maybe it 's exactly who i am . because let me tell you , nothing will stop me from protecting you . steffy : but , mom , i did n't need you to protect me . taylor : you did ! ca n't you understand ? after ... losing phoebe ... [ crying ] steffy : [ breathes deeply ] taylor : bill wo n't tell , right ? steffy : no , he won't . taylor : because it just haunts me , living in fear , thinking that the police are going to knock at the door . steffy : mom , he promised . taylor : and liam wo n't tell . as long as it stays between the four of us , then -- then , eventually , maybe everything will be okay . just you and me and liam and bill -- no one else . no one else can ever find out . brooke : so , bill agreed to keep quiet . of course he agreed . this is back when he would do anything for steffy . oh , my god . his obsession got him shot . hope : basically , yeah . i mean , if he had just ... kept his hands off of steffy , taylor would 've never retaliated . brooke : well , this is insane . i mean , the holier - than - thou taylor picks up a gun and ... [ sighs ] i -- i ca n't believe that this was premeditated . there 's no way she meant to shoot bill . hope : i do n't think she meant to . i think -- i do n't know -- she saw the gun , and motherly instincts kicked in . brooke : i understand motherly instincts , but i certainly would n't go and shoot somebody in their back . my god . when i think of all the things that she has done to me through the years and how she would get in my face and say these vicious things ... i always thought that there was something wrong with her . but now i know it 's more . she 's not only crazy , she is dangerous . it 's not the way it looks in the instructions , harold . brooke : i appreciate you telling me , honey . hope : well , i figured you needed to know , of all people . brooke : yeah . because i 'm the one person that she hates the most . hope : yes . brooke : all these years of calling me names and making me feel bad and painting me as morally inferior . well , this is worse than anything that i have ever done . taylor , the saint , making me feel bad about myself . well , no more . hope : wait ! wait . mom ? mom , where are you going ? honey , all the years of putting me down and she 's the one who could possibly end up in jail ? where do you think i 'm going ? bill : why did you come to me with this ? liam : because you were the gunshot victim , and you deserved to know . bill : well , you could 've told hope about it and the two of you not made mention of it again . liam : maybe i miss ... sharing things with you . maybe i miss ... hearing your opinion . bill : we can get back to the relationship we had . liam : [ sighs ] no , not -- not what we had . but we could get back to something . bill : listen to me . i was shot and shoved over a balcony in the same year . the bullet did n't kill me , and the fall did n't kill me . liam : if you 're about to say you 're invincible , i -- bill : oh , i already know i 'm invincible . liam : [ scoffs ] bill : but that 's beside the point . what i 'm trying to say ... is that , as hard as people might try ... there are some things that just ca n't be killed . and a father 's love for his son is one of them . and you are a dad now . so you know exactly what i mean . liam : [ breathes deeply ] bill : i 'm here for you , son . whenever you need me , however you need me . liam : got it . hope : hey , i just got your text . steffy : close the door . hope : [ clears throat ] what 's up ? steffy : you know . hope : i know ... ? steffy : what my mom did . hope : yes , i do . and i do n't think i 'll ever be able to look at her the same again . taylor : when did she go down ? amelia : about 10 minutes ago with a full belly and a fresh diaper , so she should be out for a while . taylor : okay . you did all the hard part . i guess i can do the fun part . i 'll just have to raid steffy 's refrigerator and eat all of her ice cream . amelia : ah , yes . i already took care of that , too . taylor : aww ! amelia : so , the baby monitor is switched on , and it 's just over there . and ... i should probably fold some of these blankets . taylor : leave something for me to do . amelia : i appreciate that . tell steffy i will see her in the morning ? taylor : will do . amelia : thanks . oh ! excuse me . brooke : hi , amelia . amelia : um , steffy 's not in right now . brooke : that 's all right . i came to see taylor . amelia : okay . well , enjoy your visit . brooke : thank you . taylor : have you come to apologize ? brooke : i have nothing to apologize for . you , on the other hand ... taylor : the way you and hope spoke to me earlier was not appreciated . so if you 're not here to apologize , then we have nothing more to discuss . now , if you 'll excuse me , i am taking care of my granddaughter . brooke : did steffy give you permission ? taylor : permission ? for what ? brooke : to relieve the babysitter . taylor : kelly is my grandchild . brooke : i know . but is it okay with steffy that you 're alone with her ? taylor : why would n't she be ?

brooke : ridge finally collected on the debt . he went to mcmullen and influenced him on the ruling of the case . katie : no . no . brooke : it 's true . ridge got revenge on bill by making sure that he lost custody of his son . ridge : did you hear me ?

[ sighs ] okay . uh ... after i left you , i - i came back up here , and , um ... i saw brooke , but she was n't alone . ridge : okay . steffy : she was with bill , dad . okay , i thought there would be a bigger reaction . do you -- do you already know ? ridge : know what ? about the two of them . ridge : i - i do n't understand . what -- what do you mean , the two of them ? steffy : [ sighs ] i walked in on them , dad . they were in each other 's arms . they were kissing . i saw it , dad . brooke and bill were kissing .Summarize.[/INST]bill tells brooke that she is so special and always by his side . he is dumb to have let her slip away from him . he kisses her just as steffy opens the door partially and sees them . brooke pulls away and tells bill that is unacceptable . steffy has left and does not see this . bill apologizes and says he is in a bind right now and she was his lifeline . she says she understands but it can not happen again . she is in love with her husband and bill needs to just focus on will and be the best father he can be . when bill leaves steffy sees him and goes to find brooke . they discuss the hearing and steffy says bill is lucky to have her support . but she wonders how that is going to work in dealing with ridge . bill must really appreciate her support . she was the only one who broke rank and stayed with bill . maybe there is something she wants to tell her . brooke thanks her for her concern but walks away . katie tells ridge that she looked at the judge and it seemed he really paid attention to what he said . ridge calls the judge who admonishes him that he should not call him there anymore . the decision has been made so leave it at that . ridge says he knows that his wife paid him a visit but he did not have to admit anything . the judge says he did n't but she had seen the text so he could not get out of that . ridge assures her this is their secret and only the three of them know and he knows his wife will not tell anyone , certainly not bill . justin finds bill distracted but all he says is walking away from brooke was his biggest mistake . he would never do that again . and better news is that will actually asked to see him and katie saw how they re - connected . but it still galls him that he has to ask katie permission to see his own son .</s> | 5,622 |

[ scene_break ] lizzie : shayne really does care about you . sorry , i would n't be surprised if he just said no to the whole thing and stayed right here . marina : he better not . pitching for the majors is shayne 's dream . if he gave that up for me , i 'd never forgive myself . lizzie : i hear you .

[ chuckles ] liam : [ chuckles ] hope : when she does get back , you should ask her to move out . i know that you care about her , and i respect your loyalty . but i want to be on equal footing . after all the lies , after everything that was done to us , i think i deserve that . [ scene_break ] katie : i feel guilty for getting you involved . brooke : you 're my sister . it 's my job .

[ voice breaking ] anything could happen . i mean ... eric : with hope , you mean . taylor : another logan ... coming after my family . [ scene_break ] hope : i know that steffy had nothing to do with what happened in italy or rick 's lie . but that does n't make her completely clean . she suspected that something was going on and she said nothing to you , and she moved in here anyway . i 'm just asking you to level the playing field . i know you have feelings for both of us . and if you 're living with steffy , how can you fairly make a decision about who to be with ? plus with her gone , it 's gon na make it so much easier for me to move back in . liam : oh , yeah . now it makes sense . hope : 'cause obviously you 're gon na end up with me . liam : obviously . hope : yeah . and we 're gon na make it to the altar no matter what happens . i do n't care if my dad shows up or if there 's an earthquake or a typhoon or the minister passes out . vows will be exchanged , and i 'll become hope spencer . liam : yeah . maybe my dad will give you a little -- cute , little sword necklace . hope : oh , great . [ both laugh ] liam : you 're -- you 're a brave woman wanting to become that man 's daughter - in- law . hope : not -- not as brave as you are . i mean , do n't you know the stories about any man who becomes brooke logan 's son - in - law ? liam : why ? what happens to any man who -- oh . oh , that 's gross . you 're gross . hope : i 'm sorry . i know , and i 'm terrible . it 's awful . but at least , you know , i 'm at a point where i can joke about it , right ? liam : yeah , do n't . do n't . no . hope : okay . liam : never again . hope : okay . i know that there are a lot of people -- steffy and her mother -- who like to bash the logans . but really , we are a great family to be a part of . [ chuckles ] [ computer beeps ] hope : oh , go ahead . liam : uh ... really ? are you sure ? hope : yep . i have to pick up my mom anyway . liam : okay . [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] steffy . steffy : hi . liam : how -- how are you ? how 's your dad ? steffy : it 's a difficult time for him . but i 'm glad i could be here . liam : yeah , well , you tell him i 'm thinking about him , okay ? steffy : i will . thank you . liam , look ... i love you . i love you , and i just wanted to say that . and i 'll be home soon . we have a lot to discuss . are you alone ? liam : um ... no . steffy : i have -- i have to go . liam : steffy , wait , wait , wait . no , no . hope : she 'll be back soon . and if you tell her to move out , we can have more nights like this . [ scene_break ] [ glass clinks ] eric : cheers . taylor : you do this every night ? eric : [ sighs ] so far , yeah . sounds silly , is n't it ? taylor : i hope she appreciates it . eric : no , not likely . she never liked the way i made martinis . taylor : oh , she did . it gave her something to complain about . eric : [ chuckling ] yeah , it did , did n't it ? taylor , um ... i will keep your secret , your secret about steffy . taylor : i trust you . i just wish steffy would come home . keeping this secret and ... being so far away . eric : and leaving the door open for hope . taylor : just starting a family ... and here 's hope doing the exact same thing as her mother . yeah . yeah , i 'm talking about your best friend , brooke . teaching her daughter to ruin yet another generation . eric : it 's not gon na happen , taylor . you and your children , your family 's all gon na be safe . i promise you . you 'll be safe as long as i 'm around . [ scene_break ] brooke : katie 's so excited . she 's finally happy again being a mother and being a wife , and i do n't want to ruin anything for her . and then i talk about drinking wine , and then she thinks about you drinking , and then -- bill : brooke , brooke , brooke . stop . stop . you -- you ca n't worry about mentioning alcohol every time you 're around katie and me . it 's an issue for us right now . but we 're going to overcome it . tonight was a reminder that couples have issues . katie and i wo n't always see eye - to - eye . but as long as we have the same goal , which is a solid marriage , a good home for will ... we 're gon na be okay . brooke : you have a wonderful marriage and a wonderful family . you are an amazing person . and i wish nothing but the best for you . hope : hi . brooke : oh , honey . honey , you 're here . um ... hope : did you still need a ride ? brooke : yes . yes . thank you .

[ previously_on ] abby : i 'm thinking , mm , maybe 50 stories should be high enough to cast a permanent shadow over the second - rate phyllis : wow . if you think i 'm afraid of competition , you do n't know me at all . adam : i am telling you that our father had someone killed . victoria : and i 'm supposed to believe a born liar ? adam : i own the story , and i can bury the story , as long as i get what i want . and what i want is this . all of this . hello ? victor : i 'm giving you what you want . newman enterprises is yours . chelsea : did that -- did that really just happen ? adam : victor surrendered . i can not believe that . chelsea : neither can i . my god ... adam ... adam : i am now the official c.e.o . of newman enterprises . victoria 's out ... and i 'm in . and there goes any doubt of what happened in kansas all those years ago . you know ? the coroner was lying . if there was any truth to the claim that victor bribed the man to cover up the murder . chelsea : ... your father never would have given in to your demands . adam : no way . no way . he would have stood his ground , he would have declared his innocence . he would have told me to come at him with everything i had because he 'd have the truth on his side . chelsea : wow , um ... are you okay ? adam : [ sighs ] i mean , it 's a shock , but i 'll deal . chelsea : well , personally , i 'm glad this is n't some long , drawn - out battle , for everyone 's sake . adam : [ sighs ] me , too . chelsea : i mean , you -- you took a big risk , and it worked out the way you planned . so now we just need to ... focus on moving forward . adam : yeah , well , i wish it was that simple . chelsea : why ca n't it be ? adam : because dad saw he did n't have a hand to play , so he folded . and i do not expect my siblings to follow suit . victoria : daddy . call him back . call him back and rescind the offer . obviously this story about aj 's mysterious death is a lie . adam paid somebody off -- the coroner , the reporter -- i do n't know , maybe both of them . victor : thank you for your faith in me , sweetheart . victoria : oh , god , please , dad , come on . anyone that knows the two of you knows that they 're gon na take your word over his any day . victor : yeah , but you damn well know that a lot of people are gon na believe what they hear on the news . victoria : well , then let 's make sure they hear the truth . let 's dig into this story of adam 's , his so - called evidence , and let 's expose it as a fraud . victor : i 'm not gon na go that route . victoria : why not ? victor : if this comes out , it 's gon na take a long time to recover from it . victoria : dad , it is not like you to back down from a fight , especially not a fight that you can win . what 's going on ? i want to know . abby : devon was blown away hearing that colin is behind bars where he belongs , thanks to you . i wish you could have seen his face . he was so thrilled . chance : i 'm happy to hear . abby : now he can put all that ugliness behind him , and he can focus on hamilton - winters and the medical clinic that he 's starting with nate and elena . chance : devon is a really good guy . to inherit that amount of money and use a big chunk of it to help improve other people 's lives ... i find that very impressive . abby : you know , elena has been an amazing influence . she 's brought joy and purpose to his life at a time where all of his friends were really worried about him . chance : after hillary died . abby : you know , the four of us really should go out sometime . chance : i 'd be down with that . abby : great . chance : but now i 'm off to see jill to tell her the latest on colin . abby : mm . i know that demand spoke to her , but she 's bound to have a lot of questions . chance : should i come back afterwards ? will you still be here ? abby : i have to go check in on the grand phoenix , see how phyllis is coping with things . or not . chance : what exactly would phyllis be coping with ? abby , what are you up to ? phyllis : yes , i realize that the noise is horrendous . and the dust and the fumes , yes . i 'm so sorry , there was no way for me to know that they would be starting construction tonight right across the street . okay , listen . this is what i 'm gon na do for you . i 'm gon na discount your room , and i 'm gon na upgrade you to a room on the other side with a view . [ jack - hammering ] seriously ? [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry , mr . morrison , i -- mr . morrison ? hello ? mr. morrison . chance : [ chuckles ] you , my dear , are a bad , bad girl . abby : only when it comes to phyllis . now go have a nice visit with your grandma . chance : did you get to see yours ? i know you were wanting to spend some time with her at some point . abby : i did , yeah . chance : how is she ? abby : she 's a little down . still trying to adjust being back at home . chance : if we need to cancel our plans later so you spend some time with her , i 'd understand . abby : thank you , but , no , we do n't need to reschedule . in fact , dina has another social engagement this evening . theo : you 're not that talkative these days . yeah , you might not even remember me . so , just in case , i 'm theo vanderway , your grandson . i came prepared with plenty of things to chat about -- books , movies , pop culture ... what 's in and out these days , since i know you 've always been very en current . but what really fascinates me is the life that you 've lived . you know , i re - read that section of traci 's book that talks about what you did once you left this town . yeah , you kind of got a late start , but , boy , did you ever make up for it . it 's like you knew what you were born to do , and you would n't let anything hold you back . i admire the hell out of that , dina , i really do . [ doorbell rings ] you hear that ? we 've got company . you 're popular today . just a second , i 'm gon na go answer it , all right ? lola : hey . sorry i 'm late . i thought i could get away sooner . theo : oh , do n't worry about it . i 'm just glad you could make it . what 's in the bag ? lola : it is flan . dina has a sweet tooth . theo : that 's so great of you . she 's gon na love that . lola : hey , dina . it 's lola . how are you doing tonight ? well , you know , i brought you your favorite dessert , so i hope you still have some room left over from dinner . adam : well , we both know how victoria feels , so i ca n't let my guard down there . chelsea : you 've taken away something she 's worked your whole life for , something she thinks is rightfully hers . wow , she must be beside herself with rage . adam : and that emotion is going to work in my favor , in the short - term , at least . chelsea : that 's gon na cloud her thinking . but , as for abby ... chelsea : abby can be very devious . do not underestimate her . and she 's very protective of her father . adam : okay , well , i 'll watch my back . it 's nick who 's the wild card . what did he do ? he took a job that he vowed he would never take to keep me from getting it . so once he finds out there 's been a coup ... chelsea : nick 's no match for you , adam . adam : no , my -- my concern is how he 's going to treat you when he realizes that you knew about this all along . chelsea : i can handle nick . besides , i think once he thinks this through everything , he 's gon na just say ... `` the hell with it . `` adam : really ? chelsea : yeah . i mean , with the exception of how he launched dark horse , nick has never really had the stomach for the rougher side of the business world . adam : well , that 's a good point . chelsea : the three of them are going to try to make this unpleasant for you . they 're going to accuse you of being greedy and power - hungry . but i know this is about so much more to you . you had to do this . you had to force victor to give you some respect , to treat you as an equal . and until and unless an opportunity like that presented itself , adam , you were never gon na find peace . adam : [ chuckles ] sometimes i think you are the only person who gets me , you know that ? chelsea : well , back at ya . adam : and you know i would n't have gone through with this if i did n't think you were ready for it . chelsea : i want this for you , adam . victor : i 'm asking you to take a step back , okay ? i 'm playing the long game . victoria : oh , my gosh , dad , by giving in this fast , you 've just proven how vulnerable we are . a blackmailer is never content with one win . that 's something you used to know . what 's gon na stop adam from asking for whatever he wants , whenever he wants it ? victor : he does n't even know what he 's getting into . victoria : okay , great . so let 's show him that . let 's make him regret the day he came after you . let 's chase him back to vegas with his tail between his legs . victor : i 'm asking you to not show emotion right now . victoria : well , i do n't understand why you 're not emotional at all . why not ? you should be furious right now . you should be wanting to mop up the floor with this guy . that 's the reaction i expect from you . victor : you do n't think i 'm enraged by this ? i have a plan , okay ? so cool your jet . to explode in rage would be counterproductive right now . listen to what i 'm saying to you . victoria : and what about me ? in the meantime , i get hung out to dry , publicly humiliated ... victor : i adore you and i will protect you , and we will simply tell people that you are recovering from your injuries , that 's all . victoria : no , that is not what adam is going to say . he 's gon na spread the word that i 've been traumatized , that i 'm incompetent , that i 'm not mentally stable enough to return to my position . and you 're not going to fight him on that lie either , are you ? my e theo : last time i was here , i mentioned a girl who had caught my eye . well , this is that girl . right ? you can see why i 'm so nervous . what ? it 's true . we talked about it . dina it was very reassuring . but now i could use more of your advice . i 'm planning on taking lola on a trip to new york . i know you 're a city girl at heart and spent most of your time there . i 'm thinking we might stay at the carlyle or the plaza or maybe the pierre . oh , i thought that might be your choice . lola : you used to stay there , did n't you ? traci wrote about it in the family history . theo : oh , dina was the queen of the place . i mean , the ceo of mergeron would know the places to be during fashion week . invited all those parties with designers , movie stars , jetsetters . lola : what a glamorous life . i ca n't even begin to imagine . theo : oh , dina did more than just imagining it . you made it happen for yourself . lola : i think i see where you get your ambition from . theo : you 're not wrong . when lola and i make it to the pierre , we 're gon na have cocktails at the bar and have a toast in your honor . what do you think ? victor : i know this is very frustrating , but you and i have to think of what 's best for the company . victoria : i am what 's best for this company . victor : sweetheart . victoria : how do we know what adam 's gon na do with it ? he might try to dismantle it bit by bit . and what about nick ? how are you gon na explain this to him after you pressured him into stepping in as ceo to protect this company from his brother ? and then you 're just gon na turn around and give it to adam without a fight ? this is such a betrayal of nicholas and me . victor : circumstances have changed , all right ? i will explain the changes to nicholas , not you . victoria : oh , really ? really ? what explanation are you gon na give ? because , so far , i have n't heard one from you . not one that you 're willing to admit , anyway . what is the real reason that you -- you 're not fighting adam on this ? is it because you want to see him sitting in that chair instead of me ? your son , just as ruthless as you are ? or maybe -- maybe there 's some part of you that 's impressed with the way he 's bested you . victor : he think he 's as ruthless as i am . he is n't even close . now , i promise you , you will sit behind the desk again before you know it . but , meanwhile , i ask you to abide by my wishes . victoria : i want to , dad . but let 's fight him , let 's fight adam , side by side . that 's what we should be doing right now . but , instead , you 're treating this like some bizarre game of chess where you sacrifice your queen and then you just expect her to be lined up again , ready for the next round . victor : sweetheart . if you 're suggesting that i depend on your loyalty , i do . victoria : i really think that you 're confusing loyalty with something else . maybe i am , too . that ends tonight . adam : is connor okay ? chelsea : yeah . when i heard him yell out to me , i thought he had had a nightmare , but he just needed some water . adam : you know , while you were upstairs , i could not help thinking about simon black and how much he traumatize our son and the lengths that i would have gone to remove that threat necessary . chelsea : like victor killing aj to protect you and your mom . adam : mm - hmm . i can understand what drove him to it . chelsea : are you having second thoughts about using what your father did against him ? adam : no . it 's just -- i ca n't help feeling a little hypocritical because in dad 's shoes , who knows ? maybe i would 've made the same choice . i do n't know , all i know for certain is that if victor was in my position , and he had that much dirt on his opponent , he would 've done the exact same thing , and he absolutely would have leveraged it the same way i did . chelsea : yeah . and he 'd have less qualms about it . adam : because victor uses what tools are at his disposal . those are the rules he plays by , and so do i . the rest of the family , they have never understood him the way i do ... because , in a lot of ways , me and victor , we are exactly the same . jill : it 's so good to have you home safe and sound and all in one piece . chance : the two do go hand in hand . jill : all right , go ahead . tease me for worrying . but when it comes to colin atkinson , there 's nothing i would put past him . chance : you can relax now , gram . this time , he will not be escaping from custody . he 's awaiting extradition , and he 's not gon na be walking the streets again anytime soon . jill : oh , that 's so good to know . chance : and , from what i hear , he 's been extremely cooperative . jill : [ laughs ] in other words , he threw his co - conspirators under the bus . chance : yeah , pretty much . however , he did admit to using your account and chancellor 's in his money - laundering scheme without your permission , knowledge , or consent . jill : so eventually he did clear my name . and they say romance is dead , huh ? chance : i hate what he did to you . i know that you felt used and embarrassed . jill : and judged . do n't forget judged for being stupid enough to marry the jerk in the first place . chance : and that 's why it was so important for me to track him down myself , put an end to this once and for all . jill : thank you , baby . and even though -- i have to admit this -- it was very stressful not knowing if you were safe ... i was so satisfied that it was my grandson that brought an end to colin 's crime spree . it appears my dear husband just messed with the wrong family , did n't he ? chance : amen to that . phyllis : i am -- i am so sorry , sir . please come back . we 're gon na fix this . abby : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] phyllis : hey ! interesting that you will come -- come here tonight of all nights . abby : oh , i 'm so sorry . i could n't hear you over all this commotion . what is that noise ? is that a buzz saw ? phyllis : uh , i do n't hear a thing . abby : oh . phyllis : i mean , it 's almost like white noise . abby : glad you 're adjusting . phyllis : i never wanted the grand phoenix to be a sleepy , quiet hotel . i wanted it to be , you know , like an up - all - night party hotel . yeah ! where young people and influencers would come and take video and , you know , party . abby : ooh ! clever . when life hands you lemons , you make lemon drop martinis . phyllis : yes . yes . i 'm gon na use that . abby : consider it a freebie . but i do -- i do foresee one teeny -- eeh ! -- little problem . phyllis : pray , tell . what is that ? abby : these party types that you 're describing , they like to sleep in , right ? so you do n't think they 'll be bothered when construction begins again at 5 : 00 am ? phyllis : uh , i 'm sorry , you do n't mean that literally . abby : i do n't ? phyllis : abby ... there are ordinances , city ordinances that preclude you from doing construction that early in the morning . it is quite literally a crime . abby : normally it would be , yes , but i was able to arrange for a special variance waiving those restrictions . phyllis : a special what ? abby : a variance ! phyllis : a variance ? abby : mm - hmm . phyllis : how did you do that ? abby : i did my research . yeah . yeah . and it turns out if you go to city council and you plead your case , it is possible . and i told them just how many jobs my new hotel would be creating , and that it is in genoa city 's best interest if my hotel is completed as quickly as possible . phyllis : say no more . abby : i am just so excited to get my new hotel up and running . i hope you 're ready for the competition . phyllis : bring it . abby : oh , it 's brought , yeah . ooh , ooh ! oh . sorry . wait . one more thing . i 'm sure you wo n't mind since i still am part owner of this hotel . i told my construction foreman that him and his crew are more than welcome to come over here and use the restrooms . phyllis : oh , my god ! are you crazy ? are you crazy ? why would you want to push people out of a hotel that you co - own ? are you just not bright enough to understand that you 're undermining your own interests ? victoria : johnny ! katie ! mom , where are the kids ? nikki : hey ! they 're getting ready for bed . how are you feeling ? that was n't a very long first day back at work . victoria : and my last day , as it turns out . nikki : last day ? victoria : that 's right . nikki : what do you mean ? what happened ? victoria : the kids can sleep here tonight . i do n't want to disrupt their schedule , but i 'm not spending another night in this house . usea . nikki : adam is trying to frame victor for murder ? victoria : he 's threatened to , unless dad does his bidding . but instead of telling adam to go to hell , he bounced me out and he appointed adam c.e.o . of newman . nikki : oh , my god . to be betrayed by his own son like that yet again when victor has forgiven him for so much . victoria : if dad 's looking for sympathy from me ... i 'm sorry , i 'm fresh out . nikki : all right , honey , come on . victoria : mom , if he had just put adam in prison when he tried to frame me for attempted murder , as we all know , none of this would be happening right now , but he could n't do that . that bastard can do whatever he wants , and dad just turns the other cheek , and i 'm out in the cold . i am loyal to a fault , and it means nothing . i ca n't take this anymore . nikki : all right , listen to me . i can see that you are very upset and hurt , but please stay . talk to your father again when he comes home . he knows how much it means to you , especially now , and he 's not going to take that away from you unless he feels he has no other choice . victoria : i gave him another choice . he could have worked together with me to prove that adam is lying ! nikki : what if that 's not possible ? victoria : oh , dear god , please do n't tell me that you think this ridiculous story might be true . abby : whatever impact the construction of my new hotel has on the bookings at this one , it really does n't concern me . yeah . yeah . because , um , well , number one , i 'm independently wealthy so i can take the hit , and , number two , i never expected you to make a success of this place . phyllis : excuse me ? abby : yeah . that 's why i structured our deal the way i did . yeah , if you stop making payments , ownership automatically reverts back to me , and i 'm okay with that . in fact , i 'm actually looking forward to it . i was thinking of just knocking this whole place down and building a fitness center in its place . yeah , for the convenience of my hotel guests . phyllis : because you are an entitled , self - centered brat ... abby : oh ! ooh , ooh . i 'm so sorry , i 'm having such a hard time hearing you over all this noise . let 's -- let 's do this another time . someplace a little less chaotic . okay ? jill : how is it going with abby ? chance : great . jill : oh ! i know you took her to europe with you . tell me you were able to have some fun , just the two of you , and it was n't all about apprehending colin . chance : you do know that i 'm trained to resist interrogation . jill : oh , do n't be so stupid . these are not hard questions . okay , you do n't have to answer them because i see it in your face . you 're happy , and that delights me 'cause you deserve to have some fun . and if it turns out to be more than just fun , all the better . chance : what about you ? are you seeing anyone these days ? jill : next question . chance : i 'm serious . jill : i 'm serious , too . i 'm still married to colin , for heaven 's sake . although , now that we know where he is , it 's gon na be a lot easier to file for divorce , which is another reason i 'm so glad you caught him . chance : that still did n't answer my question . jill : honestly ... i think i 've sworn off romance . i am not interested in getting involved with anybody . i love my life the way it is . chance : i 'm glad to hear it . i want you to be happy . you deserve to be happy . lola : well , it looks like my flan 's a hit . theo : oh , just like all your cooking . lola : i 'll bring some more next time . or , better yet , i can teach theo how to make some . it 's easy . theo : i think you 're overestimating my kitchen abilities . lola : oh , not at all . i have seen you in action . you know , theo , made me pierogies , and they were delicious . you should have him make you some . theo : well , i 'm glad you liked them . they are my specialty . lola : wait a second . is that the recipe that you use to impress women ? theo : uh ... maybe . but i also do mean a mean pb & j . and i can grill a burger . well , a frozen one . just slap a couple slices of cheese on that sucker , and you are good to go . we 're lola : wow . okay . frozen burgers . theo : mm - hmm . lola : god , i do n't know where to start . [ chuckles ] want to brain better ? victori your father over adam , but ... nikki : of course i believe your father over adam , but ... this accusation is so sordid . if it ever were to get out , it would stick in people 's minds . victoria : even if we can get the coroner in kansas to retract his story ? nikki : even then . what if the police get involved or the fbi ? i mean , maybe your father has a good reason to keep it quiet until he has time to come up with a plan . victoria : mom , there is no good that can come from adam having this much power over us . we 've dealt with scandal before , and we 've survived . why should this time be any different ? nikki : what does nicholas think ? i assume you 've told him . victoria : dad wants to tell him . i predict that he will be livid with him and adam . nikki : and we have been doing so well as a family . it took years , but your father and nicholas are finally close again . victoria : well , that 's probably why adam launched this attack , because he ca n't stand the fact that we 're coming together and he wants to divide us . and dad is playing right into his hands . ugh . nikki : no ! no , come on ! do n't go storming off , victoria . your wounds are barely healed . what if you need help ? i mean , there must be some way that you can have a little space without making things harder on you . victoria : fine . i 'll stay at the tack house . nikki : okay , i think that 's a good compromise . victoria : i do n't want dad getting any ideas . i 'm not gon na let this slide . i just made it clear to billy that i 'm not letting people hurt me anymore ... and that includes my father . theo : you 're not one of those food snobs , are you ? lola : you were trying to get a rise out of me , and i fell for it . kyle . hi . theo : oh , hey , cuz . kyle : hello . looks like a party . theo : it is . lola brought flan . you want to join us ? we can break out another spoon . kyle : that 's okay . i would n't want my grandmother to feel overwhelmed by too many visitors at once . lola : we should go . theo : why ? i 'm enjoying our evening . i think dina is , too . are n't you , dina ? i mean , you 're welcome to wait or leave . we can shoot you a text when we 're about to head out . kyle : can i have a word with you , please ? theo : all right . i 'll be back in a second . lola will keep you company . do n't go anywhere . what ? kyle : look , i 'm close with my grandmother . theo : our grandma . kyle : i 'm asking you politely to not be a jerk about this . theo : exactly how am i being a jerk ? kyle : do i need to paint your picture . theo : lola and i are having a nice time with dina , and then you waltz in here and expect us to cut it short . why should we ? kyle : look , it 's bad enough you get in my face every day at work , but using a sick elderly woman to try to score points against me or impress lola is not something you should be even thinking about doing . theo : whoa , whoa . kyle : it 's disgusting . theo : oh , okay . wait . you 're accusing me of using people ? seriously ? after the way that you treated summer and lola -- lola : hey , guys , you should just cool it with this . kyle : you do n't even know dina . theo : okay , listen , you entitled jerk . i belong here every much as you do . and if you do n't like it , well , that 's your problem . dina : john ! stuart ! no ! no ! no ... jack : what the hell are you doing ? victor : how did victoria seem when she left ? nikki : she 's angry and upset . who could blame her ? what adam is forcing you to do , it 's -- it 's reprehensible . victor : i know . i do n't know what 's the matter with adam , i mean , this boy has everything . he has chelsea , he has his son , has a beautiful home , has all the money he needs . nothing is enough . there 's something so damaged in that man 's soul . nikki : all right , well , i 'm more concerned about you and our family . now , these claims of adam , how much can they hurt us ? victor : let me put it this way . he did his homework . he hired a reporter who happens to be the daughter of the murdered man . she wrote a damn good article about ... incongruities of the investigation at the time , laying all at my feet . nikki : but none of it is true . victor : no , none of it is true . i have nothing to do with the death of aj montalvo , nothing . nikki : okay . let 's talk about how you intend to defend yourself and take back control of the company . victor : sweetheart , there 's no need for you to worry about that , okay ? i will take care of it myself . nikki : no , victor . it 's bad enough that you did n't confide in our daughter . do n't think you 're going to push me aside , too . victor : sweet love ... i 'm gon na take care of it on my own , all right ? you 've got to trust me . i 'm not pushing you aside . flavors kids love ! abby : your scotch and soda awaits . chance : you 're amazing . abby : i know . so , how did things go with jill ? chance : it was fine . abby : but ... ? chance : she did n't say it in so many words ... in fact , she claimed that she is relieved that colin is in custody . i just got the sense that she has mixed feelings about him going back to prison . abby : [ sighs ] i get that . i used to have a soft spot for bad boys myself , but then the pendulum swung the other way and i was with someone who was almost too decent . it 's hard living up to those standards . chance : and now ? abby : and now i feel like i have the best of both worlds . you have values and integrity , and i would trust you with my life . but you are also the most thrilling man i have ever been with . chance : wow . i hope you 're not planning on me taking you on an international manhunt every week . abby : mnh - mnh . see , i think some of our most exciting dates have been when we 've stayed in . chance : yeah . i can agree with . phyllis : listen , thank you for taking my call . you know , the reason i 'm calling you is because you were so helpful when i was running dark horse . everything is going great here . what ? um , uh , anyway , it 's going great here , and , um , there is just one slightly annoying problem , and maybe you can be of assistance . theo : i 'll call you later , okay ? lola : i think you should leave with me and apologize to jack in the morning when he 's had a chance to cool off . theo : if i leave now , i 'll feel like a coward . and , plus , kyle will find a way to spin this to make me look bad . i 'll be fine , promise . lola : okay . jack : well , thanks to the two of you , i had one hell of a time getting dina to calm down . kyle : dad , i 'm sorry . jack : you know what , i do n't need to hear this . i made it very clear to both of you . i wanted my mother to live in peace and comfort in the time she had left , and this is the way you behave ? kyle : i should have walked away . theo : me , too . it wo n't happen again . jack : you 're damn right it wo n't happen again . i have had it . you fight in the office . you fight in public . now you bring this garbage here to my home -- enough ! i 'd like you both to leave . but we 're gon na pick this up tomorrow at jabot where we 're gon na bring this to an end once and for all . victor : my sweetheart , all you need to know is that i know my son better than anyone , and i know his moves before he makes them . and what you have to be aware of , that things may get ugly , and i do n't want to involve the rest of my family any more than i have to get to , nikki : victor , we 're already involved . victoria has moved to the tack house . she ca n't even look at you right now . victor : yeah , i 'm sorry to hear about that . nikki : why would you oust victoria in favor of adam ? i mean , why are you caving in to his demands ? is there some kind of secret strategy that i do n't know about ? do you want him to think that he 's winning so that you can catch him off guard ? victor : sweetheart , all you need to know is that i will do what i 've always done , and that is to protect my family no matter what cost . nikki : well , that 's pretty ironic , considering you want us to trust you when you do n't trust us enough to tell us the whole story . victor , do n't you know by now you can count on me to be there for you no matter what mistakes you may have made ? victor : i know , my know . all right ? come here . i know . okay ? but certain things better be left unsaid . nikki : i do n't know what that means . what are n't you telling me ? victor : i will take care of it . nikki : ugh . it . nikki : ugh . | abby continues her war with phyllis when she gets special permission from the city to start building her new hotel across the street from the grand phoenix . kyle and theo argue in front of dina and upset her very much because she thinks stuart and john are arguing about her . jack gets upset with kyle and theo and says this feud will end tomorrow at jabot . victoria and nikki are angry with victor because he gave in to adam 's demands so quickly and wo n't tell them his plan to neutralize adam . victoria tells nikki she wo n't let anyone hurt her again not even victor . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] abby : i 'm thinking , mm , maybe 50 stories should be high enough to cast a permanent shadow over the second - rate phyllis : wow . if you think i 'm afraid of competition , you do n't know me at all . adam : i am telling you that our father had someone killed . victoria : and i 'm supposed to believe a born liar ? adam : i own the story , and i can bury the story , as long as i get what i want . and what i want is this . all of this . hello ? victor : i 'm giving you what you want . newman enterprises is yours . chelsea : did that -- did that really just happen ? adam : victor surrendered . i can not believe that . chelsea : neither can i . my god ... adam ... adam : i am now the official c.e.o . of newman enterprises . victoria 's out ... and i 'm in . and there goes any doubt of what happened in kansas all those years ago . you know ? the coroner was lying . if there was any truth to the claim that victor bribed the man to cover up the murder . chelsea : ... your father never would have given in to your demands . adam : no way . no way . he would have stood his ground , he would have declared his innocence . he would have told me to come at him with everything i had because he 'd have the truth on his side . chelsea : wow , um ... are you okay ? adam : [ sighs ] i mean , it 's a shock , but i 'll deal . chelsea : well , personally , i 'm glad this is n't some long , drawn - out battle , for everyone 's sake . adam : [ sighs ] me , too . chelsea : i mean , you -- you took a big risk , and it worked out the way you planned . so now we just need to ... focus on moving forward . adam : yeah , well , i wish it was that simple . chelsea : why ca n't it be ? adam : because dad saw he did n't have a hand to play , so he folded . and i do not expect my siblings to follow suit . victoria : daddy . call him back . call him back and rescind the offer . obviously this story about aj 's mysterious death is a lie . adam paid somebody off -- the coroner , the reporter -- i do n't know , maybe both of them . victor : thank you for your faith in me , sweetheart . victoria : oh , god , please , dad , come on . anyone that knows the two of you knows that they 're gon na take your word over his any day . victor : yeah , but you damn well know that a lot of people are gon na believe what they hear on the news . victoria : well , then let 's make sure they hear the truth . let 's dig into this story of adam 's , his so - called evidence , and let 's expose it as a fraud . victor : i 'm not gon na go that route . victoria : why not ? victor : if this comes out , it 's gon na take a long time to recover from it . victoria : dad , it is not like you to back down from a fight , especially not a fight that you can win . what 's going on ? i want to know . abby : devon was blown away hearing that colin is behind bars where he belongs , thanks to you . i wish you could have seen his face . he was so thrilled . chance : i 'm happy to hear . abby : now he can put all that ugliness behind him , and he can focus on hamilton - winters and the medical clinic that he 's starting with nate and elena . chance : devon is a really good guy . to inherit that amount of money and use a big chunk of it to help improve other people 's lives ... i find that very impressive . abby : you know , elena has been an amazing influence . she 's brought joy and purpose to his life at a time where all of his friends were really worried about him . chance : after hillary died . abby : you know , the four of us really should go out sometime . chance : i 'd be down with that . abby : great . chance : but now i 'm off to see jill to tell her the latest on colin . abby : mm . i know that demand spoke to her , but she 's bound to have a lot of questions . chance : should i come back afterwards ? will you still be here ? abby : i have to go check in on the grand phoenix , see how phyllis is coping with things . or not . chance : what exactly would phyllis be coping with ? abby , what are you up to ? phyllis : yes , i realize that the noise is horrendous . and the dust and the fumes , yes . i 'm so sorry , there was no way for me to know that they would be starting construction tonight right across the street . okay , listen . this is what i 'm gon na do for you . i 'm gon na discount your room , and i 'm gon na upgrade you to a room on the other side with a view .

[ doorbell rings ] you hear that ? we 've got company . you 're popular today . just a second , i 'm gon na go answer it , all right ? lola : hey . sorry i 'm late . i thought i could get away sooner . theo : oh , do n't worry about it . i 'm just glad you could make it . what 's in the bag ? lola : it is flan . dina has a sweet tooth . theo : that 's so great of you . she 's gon na love that . lola : hey , dina . it 's lola . how are you doing tonight ? well , you know , i brought you your favorite dessert , so i hope you still have some room left over from dinner . adam : well , we both know how victoria feels , so i ca n't let my guard down there . chelsea : you 've taken away something she 's worked your whole life for , something she thinks is rightfully hers . wow , she must be beside herself with rage . adam : and that emotion is going to work in my favor , in the short - term , at least . chelsea : that 's gon na cloud her thinking . but , as for abby ... chelsea : abby can be very devious . do not underestimate her . and she 's very protective of her father . adam : okay , well , i 'll watch my back . it 's nick who 's the wild card . what did he do ? he took a job that he vowed he would never take to keep me from getting it . so once he finds out there 's been a coup ... chelsea : nick 's no match for you , adam . adam : no , my -- my concern is how he 's going to treat you when he realizes that you knew about this all along . chelsea : i can handle nick . besides , i think once he thinks this through everything , he 's gon na just say ... `` the hell with it . `` adam : really ? chelsea : yeah . i mean , with the exception of how he launched dark horse , nick has never really had the stomach for the rougher side of the business world . adam : well , that 's a good point . chelsea : the three of them are going to try to make this unpleasant for you . they 're going to accuse you of being greedy and power - hungry . but i know this is about so much more to you . you had to do this . you had to force victor to give you some respect , to treat you as an equal . and until and unless an opportunity like that presented itself , adam , you were never gon na find peace . adam : [ chuckles ] sometimes i think you are the only person who gets me , you know that ? chelsea : well , back at ya . adam : and you know i would n't have gone through with this if i did n't think you were ready for it . chelsea : i want this for you , adam . victor : i 'm asking you to take a step back , okay ? i 'm playing the long game . victoria : oh , my gosh , dad , by giving in this fast , you 've just proven how vulnerable we are . a blackmailer is never content with one win . that 's something you used to know . what 's gon na stop adam from asking for whatever he wants , whenever he wants it ? victor : he does n't even know what he 's getting into . victoria : okay , great . so let 's show him that . let 's make him regret the day he came after you . let 's chase him back to vegas with his tail between his legs . victor : i 'm asking you to not show emotion right now . victoria : well , i do n't understand why you 're not emotional at all . why not ? you should be furious right now . you should be wanting to mop up the floor with this guy . that 's the reaction i expect from you . victor : you do n't think i 'm enraged by this ? i have a plan , okay ? so cool your jet . to explode in rage would be counterproductive right now . listen to what i 'm saying to you . victoria : and what about me ? in the meantime , i get hung out to dry , publicly humiliated ... victor : i adore you and i will protect you , and we will simply tell people that you are recovering from your injuries , that 's all . victoria : no , that is not what adam is going to say . he 's gon na spread the word that i 've been traumatized , that i 'm incompetent , that i 'm not mentally stable enough to return to my position . and you 're not going to fight him on that lie either , are you ? my e theo : last time i was here , i mentioned a girl who had caught my eye . well , this is that girl . right ? you can see why i 'm so nervous . what ? it 's true . we talked about it . dina it was very reassuring . but now i could use more of your advice . i 'm planning on taking lola on a trip to new york . i know you 're a city girl at heart and spent most of your time there . i 'm thinking we might stay at the carlyle or the plaza or maybe the pierre . oh , i thought that might be your choice . lola : you used to stay there , did n't you ? traci wrote about it in the family history . theo : oh , dina was the queen of the place . i mean , the ceo of mergeron would know the places to be during fashion week . invited all those parties with designers , movie stars , jetsetters . lola : what a glamorous life . i ca n't even begin to imagine . theo : oh , dina did more than just imagining it . you made it happen for yourself . lola : i think i see where you get your ambition from . theo : you 're not wrong . when lola and i make it to the pierre , we 're gon na have cocktails at the bar and have a toast in your honor . what do you think ? victor : i know this is very frustrating , but you and i have to think of what 's best for the company . victoria : i am what 's best for this company . victor : sweetheart . victoria : how do we know what adam 's gon na do with it ? he might try to dismantle it bit by bit . and what about nick ? how are you gon na explain this to him after you pressured him into stepping in as ceo to protect this company from his brother ? and then you 're just gon na turn around and give it to adam without a fight ? this is such a betrayal of nicholas and me . victor : circumstances have changed , all right ? i will explain the changes to nicholas , not you . victoria : oh , really ? really ? what explanation are you gon na give ? because , so far , i have n't heard one from you . not one that you 're willing to admit , anyway . what is the real reason that you -- you 're not fighting adam on this ? is it because you want to see him sitting in that chair instead of me ? your son , just as ruthless as you are ? or maybe -- maybe there 's some part of you that 's impressed with the way he 's bested you . victor : he think he 's as ruthless as i am . he is n't even close . now , i promise you , you will sit behind the desk again before you know it . but , meanwhile , i ask you to abide by my wishes . victoria : i want to , dad . but let 's fight him , let 's fight adam , side by side . that 's what we should be doing right now . but , instead , you 're treating this like some bizarre game of chess where you sacrifice your queen and then you just expect her to be lined up again , ready for the next round . victor : sweetheart . if you 're suggesting that i depend on your loyalty , i do . victoria : i really think that you 're confusing loyalty with something else . maybe i am , too . that ends tonight . adam : is connor okay ? chelsea : yeah . when i heard him yell out to me , i thought he had had a nightmare , but he just needed some water . adam : you know , while you were upstairs , i could not help thinking about simon black and how much he traumatize our son and the lengths that i would have gone to remove that threat necessary . chelsea : like victor killing aj to protect you and your mom . adam : mm - hmm . i can understand what drove him to it . chelsea : are you having second thoughts about using what your father did against him ? adam : no . it 's just -- i ca n't help feeling a little hypocritical because in dad 's shoes , who knows ? maybe i would 've made the same choice . i do n't know , all i know for certain is that if victor was in my position , and he had that much dirt on his opponent , he would 've done the exact same thing , and he absolutely would have leveraged it the same way i did . chelsea : yeah . and he 'd have less qualms about it . adam : because victor uses what tools are at his disposal . those are the rules he plays by , and so do i . the rest of the family , they have never understood him the way i do ... because , in a lot of ways , me and victor , we are exactly the same . jill : it 's so good to have you home safe and sound and all in one piece . chance : the two do go hand in hand . jill : all right , go ahead . tease me for worrying . but when it comes to colin atkinson , there 's nothing i would put past him . chance : you can relax now , gram . this time , he will not be escaping from custody . he 's awaiting extradition , and he 's not gon na be walking the streets again anytime soon . jill : oh , that 's so good to know . chance : and , from what i hear , he 's been extremely cooperative . jill : [ laughs ] in other words , he threw his co - conspirators under the bus . chance : yeah , pretty much . however , he did admit to using your account and chancellor 's in his money - laundering scheme without your permission , knowledge , or consent . jill : so eventually he did clear my name . and they say romance is dead , huh ? chance : i hate what he did to you . i know that you felt used and embarrassed . jill : and judged . do n't forget judged for being stupid enough to marry the jerk in the first place . chance : and that 's why it was so important for me to track him down myself , put an end to this once and for all . jill : thank you , baby . and even though -- i have to admit this -- it was very stressful not knowing if you were safe ... i was so satisfied that it was my grandson that brought an end to colin 's crime spree . it appears my dear husband just messed with the wrong family , did n't he ? chance : amen to that . phyllis : i am -- i am so sorry , sir . please come back . we 're gon na fix this . abby : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] phyllis : hey ! interesting that you will come -- come here tonight of all nights . abby : oh , i 'm so sorry . i could n't hear you over all this commotion . what is that noise ? is that a buzz saw ? phyllis : uh , i do n't hear a thing . abby : oh . phyllis : i mean , it 's almost like white noise . abby : glad you 're adjusting . phyllis : i never wanted the grand phoenix to be a sleepy , quiet hotel . i wanted it to be , you know , like an up - all - night party hotel . yeah ! where young people and influencers would come and take video and , you know , party . abby : ooh ! clever . when life hands you lemons , you make lemon drop martinis . phyllis : yes . yes . i 'm gon na use that . abby : consider it a freebie . but i do -- i do foresee one teeny -- eeh ! -- little problem . phyllis : pray , tell . what is that ? abby : these party types that you 're describing , they like to sleep in , right ? so you do n't think they 'll be bothered when construction begins again at 5 : 00 am ? phyllis : uh , i 'm sorry , you do n't mean that literally . abby : i do n't ? phyllis : abby ... there are ordinances , city ordinances that preclude you from doing construction that early in the morning . it is quite literally a crime . abby : normally it would be , yes , but i was able to arrange for a special variance waiving those restrictions . phyllis : a special what ? abby : a variance ! phyllis : a variance ? abby : mm - hmm . phyllis : how did you do that ? abby : i did my research . yeah . yeah . and it turns out if you go to city council and you plead your case , it is possible . and i told them just how many jobs my new hotel would be creating , and that it is in genoa city 's best interest if my hotel is completed as quickly as possible . phyllis : say no more . abby : i am just so excited to get my new hotel up and running . i hope you 're ready for the competition . phyllis : bring it . abby : oh , it 's brought , yeah . ooh , ooh ! oh . sorry . wait . one more thing . i 'm sure you wo n't mind since i still am part owner of this hotel . i told my construction foreman that him and his crew are more than welcome to come over here and use the restrooms . phyllis : oh , my god ! are you crazy ? are you crazy ? why would you want to push people out of a hotel that you co - own ? are you just not bright enough to understand that you 're undermining your own interests ? victoria : johnny ! katie ! mom , where are the kids ? nikki : hey ! they 're getting ready for bed . how are you feeling ? that was n't a very long first day back at work . victoria : and my last day , as it turns out . nikki : last day ? victoria : that 's right . nikki : what do you mean ? what happened ? victoria : the kids can sleep here tonight . i do n't want to disrupt their schedule , but i 'm not spending another night in this house . usea . nikki : adam is trying to frame victor for murder ? victoria : he 's threatened to , unless dad does his bidding . but instead of telling adam to go to hell , he bounced me out and he appointed adam c.e.o . of newman . nikki : oh , my god . to be betrayed by his own son like that yet again when victor has forgiven him for so much . victoria : if dad 's looking for sympathy from me ... i 'm sorry , i 'm fresh out . nikki : all right , honey , come on . victoria : mom , if he had just put adam in prison when he tried to frame me for attempted murder , as we all know , none of this would be happening right now , but he could n't do that . that bastard can do whatever he wants , and dad just turns the other cheek , and i 'm out in the cold . i am loyal to a fault , and it means nothing . i ca n't take this anymore . nikki : all right , listen to me . i can see that you are very upset and hurt , but please stay . talk to your father again when he comes home . he knows how much it means to you , especially now , and he 's not going to take that away from you unless he feels he has no other choice . victoria : i gave him another choice . he could have worked together with me to prove that adam is lying ! nikki : what if that 's not possible ? victoria : oh , dear god , please do n't tell me that you think this ridiculous story might be true . abby : whatever impact the construction of my new hotel has on the bookings at this one , it really does n't concern me . yeah . yeah . because , um , well , number one , i 'm independently wealthy so i can take the hit , and , number two , i never expected you to make a success of this place . phyllis : excuse me ? abby : yeah . that 's why i structured our deal the way i did . yeah , if you stop making payments , ownership automatically reverts back to me , and i 'm okay with that . in fact , i 'm actually looking forward to it . i was thinking of just knocking this whole place down and building a fitness center in its place . yeah , for the convenience of my hotel guests . phyllis : because you are an entitled , self - centered brat ... abby : oh ! ooh , ooh . i 'm so sorry , i 'm having such a hard time hearing you over all this noise . let 's -- let 's do this another time . someplace a little less chaotic . okay ? jill : how is it going with abby ? chance : great . jill : oh ! i know you took her to europe with you . tell me you were able to have some fun , just the two of you , and it was n't all about apprehending colin . chance : you do know that i 'm trained to resist interrogation . jill : oh , do n't be so stupid . these are not hard questions . okay , you do n't have to answer them because i see it in your face . you 're happy , and that delights me 'cause you deserve to have some fun . and if it turns out to be more than just fun , all the better . chance : what about you ? are you seeing anyone these days ? jill : next question . chance : i 'm serious . jill : i 'm serious , too . i 'm still married to colin , for heaven 's sake . although , now that we know where he is , it 's gon na be a lot easier to file for divorce , which is another reason i 'm so glad you caught him . chance : that still did n't answer my question . jill : honestly ... i think i 've sworn off romance . i am not interested in getting involved with anybody . i love my life the way it is . chance : i 'm glad to hear it . i want you to be happy . you deserve to be happy . lola : well , it looks like my flan 's a hit . theo : oh , just like all your cooking . lola : i 'll bring some more next time . or , better yet , i can teach theo how to make some . it 's easy . theo : i think you 're overestimating my kitchen abilities . lola : oh , not at all . i have seen you in action . you know , theo , made me pierogies , and they were delicious . you should have him make you some . theo : well , i 'm glad you liked them . they are my specialty . lola : wait a second . is that the recipe that you use to impress women ? theo : uh ... maybe . but i also do mean a mean pb & j . and i can grill a burger . well , a frozen one . just slap a couple slices of cheese on that sucker , and you are good to go . we 're lola : wow . okay . frozen burgers . theo : mm - hmm . lola : god , i do n't know where to start . [ chuckles ] want to brain better ? victori your father over adam , but ... nikki : of course i believe your father over adam , but ... this accusation is so sordid . if it ever were to get out , it would stick in people 's minds . victoria : even if we can get the coroner in kansas to retract his story ? nikki : even then . what if the police get involved or the fbi ? i mean , maybe your father has a good reason to keep it quiet until he has time to come up with a plan . victoria : mom , there is no good that can come from adam having this much power over us . we 've dealt with scandal before , and we 've survived . why should this time be any different ? nikki : what does nicholas think ? i assume you 've told him . victoria : dad wants to tell him . i predict that he will be livid with him and adam . nikki : and we have been doing so well as a family . it took years , but your father and nicholas are finally close again . victoria : well , that 's probably why adam launched this attack , because he ca n't stand the fact that we 're coming together and he wants to divide us . and dad is playing right into his hands . ugh . nikki : no ! no , come on ! do n't go storming off , victoria . your wounds are barely healed . what if you need help ? i mean , there must be some way that you can have a little space without making things harder on you . victoria : fine . i 'll stay at the tack house . nikki : okay , i think that 's a good compromise . victoria : i do n't want dad getting any ideas . i 'm not gon na let this slide . i just made it clear to billy that i 'm not letting people hurt me anymore ... and that includes my father . theo : you 're not one of those food snobs , are you ? lola : you were trying to get a rise out of me , and i fell for it . kyle . hi . theo : oh , hey , cuz . kyle : hello . looks like a party . theo : it is . lola brought flan . you want to join us ? we can break out another spoon . kyle : that 's okay . i would n't want my grandmother to feel overwhelmed by too many visitors at once . lola : we should go . theo : why ? i 'm enjoying our evening . i think dina is , too . are n't you , dina ? i mean , you 're welcome to wait or leave . we can shoot you a text when we 're about to head out . kyle : can i have a word with you , please ? theo : all right . i 'll be back in a second . lola will keep you company . do n't go anywhere . what ? kyle : look , i 'm close with my grandmother . theo : our grandma . kyle : i 'm asking you politely to not be a jerk about this . theo : exactly how am i being a jerk ? kyle : do i need to paint your picture . theo : lola and i are having a nice time with dina , and then you waltz in here and expect us to cut it short . why should we ? kyle : look , it 's bad enough you get in my face every day at work , but using a sick elderly woman to try to score points against me or impress lola is not something you should be even thinking about doing . theo : whoa , whoa . kyle : it 's disgusting . theo : oh , okay . wait . you 're accusing me of using people ? seriously ? after the way that you treated summer and lola -- lola : hey , guys , you should just cool it with this . kyle : you do n't even know dina . theo : okay , listen , you entitled jerk . i belong here every much as you do . and if you do n't like it , well , that 's your problem . dina : john ! stuart ! no ! no ! no ... jack : what the hell are you doing ? victor : how did victoria seem when she left ? nikki : she 's angry and upset . who could blame her ? what adam is forcing you to do , it 's -- it 's reprehensible . victor : i know . i do n't know what 's the matter with adam , i mean , this boy has everything . he has chelsea , he has his son , has a beautiful home , has all the money he needs . nothing is enough . there 's something so damaged in that man 's soul . nikki : all right , well , i 'm more concerned about you and our family . now , these claims of adam , how much can they hurt us ? victor : let me put it this way . he did his homework . he hired a reporter who happens to be the daughter of the murdered man . she wrote a damn good article about ... incongruities of the investigation at the time , laying all at my feet . nikki : but none of it is true . victor : no , none of it is true . i have nothing to do with the death of aj montalvo , nothing . nikki : okay . let 's talk about how you intend to defend yourself and take back control of the company . victor : sweetheart , there 's no need for you to worry about that , okay ? i will take care of it myself . nikki : no , victor . it 's bad enough that you did n't confide in our daughter . do n't think you 're going to push me aside , too . victor : sweet love ... i 'm gon na take care of it on my own , all right ? you 've got to trust me . i 'm not pushing you aside . flavors kids love ! abby : your scotch and soda awaits . chance : you 're amazing . abby : i know . so , how did things go with jill ? chance : it was fine . abby : but ... ? chance : she did n't say it in so many words ... in fact , she claimed that she is relieved that colin is in custody . i just got the sense that she has mixed feelings about him going back to prison . abby : [ sighs ] i get that . i used to have a soft spot for bad boys myself , but then the pendulum swung the other way and i was with someone who was almost too decent . it 's hard living up to those standards . chance : and now ? abby : and now i feel like i have the best of both worlds . you have values and integrity , and i would trust you with my life . but you are also the most thrilling man i have ever been with . chance : wow . i hope you 're not planning on me taking you on an international manhunt every week . abby : mnh - mnh . see , i think some of our most exciting dates have been when we 've stayed in . chance : yeah . i can agree with . phyllis : listen , thank you for taking my call . you know , the reason i 'm calling you is because you were so helpful when i was running dark horse . everything is going great here . what ? um , uh , anyway , it 's going great here , and , um , there is just one slightly annoying problem , and maybe you can be of assistance . theo : i 'll call you later , okay ? lola : i think you should leave with me and apologize to jack in the morning when he 's had a chance to cool off . theo : if i leave now , i 'll feel like a coward . and , plus , kyle will find a way to spin this to make me look bad . i 'll be fine , promise . lola : okay . jack : well , thanks to the two of you , i had one hell of a time getting dina to calm down . kyle : dad , i 'm sorry . jack : you know what , i do n't need to hear this . i made it very clear to both of you . i wanted my mother to live in peace and comfort in the time she had left , and this is the way you behave ? kyle : i should have walked away . theo : me , too . it wo n't happen again . jack : you 're damn right it wo n't happen again . i have had it . you fight in the office . you fight in public . now you bring this garbage here to my home -- enough ! i 'd like you both to leave . but we 're gon na pick this up tomorrow at jabot where we 're gon na bring this to an end once and for all . victor : my sweetheart , all you need to know is that i know my son better than anyone , and i know his moves before he makes them . and what you have to be aware of , that things may get ugly , and i do n't want to involve the rest of my family any more than i have to get to , nikki : victor , we 're already involved . victoria has moved to the tack house . she ca n't even look at you right now . victor : yeah , i 'm sorry to hear about that . nikki : why would you oust victoria in favor of adam ? i mean , why are you caving in to his demands ? is there some kind of secret strategy that i do n't know about ? do you want him to think that he 's winning so that you can catch him off guard ? victor : sweetheart , all you need to know is that i will do what i 've always done , and that is to protect my family no matter what cost . nikki : well , that 's pretty ironic , considering you want us to trust you when you do n't trust us enough to tell us the whole story . victor , do n't you know by now you can count on me to be there for you no matter what mistakes you may have made ? victor : i know , my know . all right ? come here . i know . okay ? but certain things better be left unsaid . nikki : i do n't know what that means . what are n't you telling me ? victor : i will take care of it . nikki : ugh . it . nikki : ugh .Summarize.[/INST]abby continues her war with phyllis when she gets special permission from the city to start building her new hotel across the street from the grand phoenix . kyle and theo argue in front of dina and upset her very much because she thinks stuart and john are arguing about her . jack gets upset with kyle and theo and says this feud will end tomorrow at jabot . victoria and nikki are angry with victor because he gave in to adam 's demands so quickly and wo n't tell them his plan to neutralize adam . victoria tells nikki she wo n't let anyone hurt her again not even victor .</s> | 16,814 |

[ ahem ] . samantha did n't say exactly why she was leaving , just that you two are spending a little time apart . did n't really seem appropriate ...

[ scene_break ] nicole : you and sami just need to take a little break and , you know , get things in the right perspective , you know ? and ... you could have a little private r & r , and who knows ? maybe ... maybe this is a good thing . rafe 2 : yeah . who knows ... right ? sometimes an opportunity comes along . nicole : absolutely . and there 's no sense spreading gossip around town . so we 'll just ... make sure this stays our little secret , okay ? rafe 2 : if you say so . sounds good to me . nicole : mm ... mm ! [ chuckles ] you son of a bitch .

[ laughs ] stefano : is that a fact ? i wonder how that happened . ej : i have no idea ! i tell you , i 'm talking to her ... i can barely keep a straight face . barely . so of course i told her take the children . take them ! because the more she has them , the more she 's gon na realize that she does n't want to come back to that idiot . stefano : excellent . excellent . all right , look , are we taking bets here ? because i say that the marriage will be over within the week when she gets back . ej : a week ? no , father . this marriage is gon na be over within days . stefano : all right . ej : days . i mean , think about this just for a second . this has worked out absolutely -- it 's -- it 's perfect ! nobody has any idea of what we 've done . no one knows we put our man in rafe 's hospital bed , and then we put him in samantha 's bed . [ laughs ] and the real boy is locked in an asylum somewhere . stefano : and he does n't even know who he is . ej : it 's almost too delicious . stefano : is n't it wonderful ? and no one will ever know that we made it all happen . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : you serious ? what -- what the hell was that ? thought this was gon na be our little secret ... and you wanted me to make the first move , so ... nicole : oh , bull ! i know what game you 're playing , and i know exactly what that kiss was about . [ scene_break ] stefano : now , let 's not forget ... we have to stay vigilant , all right ? because maybe we have samantha where we want her , but i am still worried about nicole . are you sure that she did n't overhear anything when we were talking about rafael ? ej : i 'm quite sure . father , she 's overcome with grief following her mother 's death . she 's not able to focus on anything else . she has no idea we were talking about rafe . incidentally , actually , i , uh , i 'm heading up to that funeral in chicago tonight . stefano : and you agreed . ej : yes . i am her husband . stefano : ha . please . [ chuckling ] she 's the hired help , for goodness sake ! ej : she needs my support , and she 's going to get it . stefano : and what does taylor say about that ? ej : have n't seen taylor in a while . and just so you know , we 're staying on separate floors at the hotel . stefano : of course . oh , that 's gon na be a help . ej : actually , now i think about it , now i think we may not even stay over . we 'll probably just come back tonight . i do n't suppose you 're going to the funeral , are you ? stefano : you 're kidding , right ? ej : i will pass along your regrets . stefano : do that . and you , my dear , while you are listening to eulogies , i am going to spend some quality time with the latest member of our family . ej : oh . chad . stefano : you got it .

[ scene_break ] rafe : are you texting your mom ? molly : uh , no . my dad . i promised to let him know about danny . rafe : does n't sam do that ? molly : [ chuckles ] no . they ca n't stand each other . rafe : i did n't realize . sam never talks about him . molly : yeah , it 's a -- it 's kind of a sore subject . he moved to l.a. a few years ago , and for awhile , i did n't hear from him , but about a year ago , we started writing . it 's not what you 'd call a close relationship , but it 's something . my mom knows we 're in touch , but she 'd prefer not to hear about it , and she definitely does n't know i give him bulletins on danny . rafe : does n't your mom think he 'd like to know how his own grandson is doing ? molly : um , danny is n't his grandson . [ scene_break ] alexis : where were you ? sam : at the miscavige institute , wrangling heather . we were able to get a dna sample thanks to silas . and then molly and rafe called and said that danny spiked a fever . mom , i - i feel like this is my fault . i should have been there with him . alexis : sam , it 's not your fault . sam : yes , it is . silas : okay , danny did great , all right ? i 'm gon na order a cbc . i 'll know more when i get the test back . sam : okay . thank you . silas : all right . sam : hey , baby . hey . i got him . i got him . [ grunts ] alexis : there -- that 's better . all right , did you contact all the names on the list , or do i need to contact more ? sam : we have heather 's sample . alexis : all right , well , why do n't i take that down to the lab with the other samples ? sam : mom , what about franco ? [ scene_break ] franco : sonny 's everything that i described to you . he 's volatile , vicious . i guess i should count myself lucky that his enforcer did n't break my kneecaps . i 'd hate to have to spend months on end in a cast . ava : what did he want ? franco : to encourage me to find other living quarters . i politely declined , and then his guy went to work on me . ava : did you turn him in ? franco : no . how can i ask everyone to give me a second chance if i could n't do the same thing for sonny ? ava : or maybe you just want something to hold over him , hmm ? franco : ah . [ chuckles ] you know me so well . it 's no wonder we found our way back together . ava : our relationship is strictly business . franco : it was n't business when you laid that kiss on me the other night . ava : [ laughs ] do n't flatter yourself , franco . our little fling does n't even begin to compare to what i had with ... franco : with ? ava , darling ... is there someone else ? [ scene_break ] silas : i do n't care about hospital protocol . danny morgan 's labs are in my hand in 10 minutes , or you can start firing up your resume .

[ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : this is n't like you . you 're a person of principle . you are a - a rationalist , a scientist . you do n't just change your mind . ellie : but when the facts demand it ... spinelli : `` facts `` ? ellie : yes . fact -- you were willing to sacrifice one of your most cherished desires for me . and fact -- i do n't deserve that . spinelli : well , if i may interject , you deserve the moon and the stars . ellie : [ chuckles ] spinelli : and -- and quite honestly , your happiness -- our happiness is of the utmost importance to me , so bowing to your principles , as they say , was a no- brainer . ellie : look , i did n't come to this decision lightly . but it 's a sacrifice worth making . because that 's what you do when you really love somebody . [ scene_break ] maxie : we ca n't just make this about dna . georgie : i 'm not making it about anything . she is your daughter , and you feel it . you love her more every day . maxie : okay , fine . the baby is mine , but ... where does that leave dante and lulu ? [ sniffles ] i do n't know if you were watching from heaven when this whole thing started , but when dante and lulu decided to have a family , they went after it with everything they had , and when lulu realized she could n't carry a child of her own , she was devastated . georgie : you were trying to help . maxie : yeah , shocking , i know . georgie : not shocking . i 'm your sister , remember ? even if i was n't on a pass from the other side , i still know you better than anyone . you try so hard to make the people you love happy . you 're doing it now with this baby . you 're just -- you 're going about it the wrong way . maxie : i volunteered to be dante and lulu 's surrogate . it might be a mistake , but it 's too late now . i 'm pregnant with a baby that they think is theirs -- a baby that they have been longing for and planning for -- not me . what kind of person -- what kind of friend would i be if i took that away from them ? that would destroy lulu . georgie : not as destroyed as you 'll be once you give birth to your daughter , only to hand her over to be raised by lulu and dante . [ scene_break ] dante : franco 's in the hospital with a pretty professional - looking beatdown that he got tonight . i 'm trying to question him , and he tells me he walked into a door . lulu : and you think sonny had something to do with that ? dante : like i said , i - i know how sonny thinks . i 'm sure he 's behind this , but franco 's not talking and neither is alexis . lulu : wait . what does she have to do with it ? dante : oh , alexis is the one who brought franco to the hospital . i do n't even know what she was doing there , but i think she witnessed the beating , and now she 's covering for sonny . [ scene_break ] connie : i knew you two were getting closer , and i thought that maybe something might happen , but you swore to me that nothing was going on , olivia . olivia : and that -- that was the -- that was the truth . [ sighs ] of course , i love sonny . i always have , but -- but not in the way that you 're thinking . what -- what we have between us is all about our son . it 's about dante . there 's nothing more to sonny and me than that -- not like you and sonny . connie , you belong together . you always have . and i knew -- i knew how devastated he was when you -- when you left him , and i knew that whenever you were ready to take him back , he 'd be ready . connie 's the one you want . you ca n't deny it . well , do n't -- do n't leave her hanging like that . [ chuckles ] say it -- say what we all know is true . you love connie , and you want her back . [ scene_break ] maxie : i know it 's not gon na be easy to give this baby to dante and lulu , but i have to . i will . georgie : are you sure ? maxie : what 's my alternative ? to tell them i 've decided not to -- tell them why ? tell them i lost their baby months ago , and i have been lying to them , passing off my daughter as their own , letting them invest and fall in love ? i 'm supposed to just rip their hearts out with a few weeks left to go ? georgie : wo n't it be worse if it all comes out after the baby is born ? maxie : [ sniffles ] are you saying i have to tell them ? georgie : no , maxie , i 'm not telling you what to do . only you can figure that out . maxie : no , you 're so much better at figuring things out than i am . georgie : i 'm sorry that i ca n't be there to hold you when you do decide . maxie : i miss you , georgie . georgie : i know . i miss you , too . maxie : it 's not fair . why ca n't you be here ? i need you . [ sniffles ] georgie : you have me , maxie . i 'm always with you -- maybe not right next to you , but -- but i 'm always in your heart . maxie : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : [ sighs ] no , thanks , i 'm saving room . lulu : oh , i hope and pray our baby gets your genes . dante : what do you mean ? lulu : the saving - room - for - dinner gene -- it 's priceless . dante : well , as long as she looks like you . lulu : [ chuckles ] you 're pretty cute , too . dante : at this point [ sighs ] i 'd be pretty happy if our baby did n't inherit anything from me . lulu : do not go there . dante : no , this happens every time i get closer to my father . lulu : you do n't know if he did this . dante : i do . i do know it . i just ca n't prove it . lulu : and if you could put your father in prison , would that honestly make you happy ? with the baby coming and the christening , you want your dad behind bars ? dante : no , i - i just want him to respect the law and -- and not bend it or break it or hire other people to bend it or break it for him . lulu : did you ever think that maybe alexis feels the same way ? yeah , she 's his lawyer . this is what lawyers do -- they defend their clients . but she is also the mother of his child . dante : right , then -- then stop lying for him . i 'm sorry . lulu : no , it -- you 're right . dante : no , i do n't understand . i do n't get it . i do n't know how my father has this lineup of women standing there , ready to defend him , even at their own expense . [ scene_break ] sonny : this situation is not that simple , and you know it . connie : look , i did n't expect to walk in here and fix this overnight , sonny . i know it 's gon na take a lot of work , but i think it 's doable , if you 're willing . and that 's all that matters , right ? if you 're willing to try . olivia : okay , you know what ? i 'm gon na go pack my things . i 'm gon na get -- sonny : why do you have to go pack right now ? olivia : because you guys got to concentrate on working on your relationship , not on taking care of me . sonny : i can do two things at once . olivia : there 's no need . sonny : you may be better , but you 're not healed . connie : why do n't you stay with me , please ? olivia : honey , that kind of defeats the -- the purpose , right ? besides , dante 's been lobbying for me to go stay with him -- connie : no way . they 're having a baby . olivia : in another month . sonny : olivia , you do n't have to go ! olivia : this is for the best , sonny ! okay ? the last thing that i want to do is be here in the middle , in the way , okay ? this is how it was meant to be .

[ scene_break ] alexis : where were you ? sam : at the miscavige institute , wrangling heather . we were able to get a dna sample thanks to silas . and then molly and rafe called and said that danny spiked a fever . mom , i - i feel like this is my fault . i should have been there with him . alexis : sam , it 's not your fault . sam : yes , it is . silas : okay , danny did great , all right ? i 'm gon na order a cbc . i 'll know more when i get the test back . sam : okay . thank you . silas : all right . sam : hey , baby . hey . i got him . i got him .

[ scene_break ] maxie : we ca n't just make this about dna . georgie : i 'm not making it about anything . she is your daughter , and you feel it . you love her more every day . maxie : okay , fine . the baby is mine , but ... where does that leave dante and lulu ? [ sniffles ] i do n't know if you were watching from heaven when this whole thing started , but when dante and lulu decided to have a family , they went after it with everything they had , and when lulu realized she could n't carry a child of her own , she was devastated . georgie : you were trying to help . maxie : yeah , shocking , i know . georgie : not shocking . i 'm your sister , remember ? even if i was n't on a pass from the other side , i still know you better than anyone . you try so hard to make the people you love happy . you 're doing it now with this baby . you 're just -- you 're going about it the wrong way . maxie : i volunteered to be dante and lulu 's surrogate . it might be a mistake , but it 's too late now . i 'm pregnant with a baby that they think is theirs -- a baby that they have been longing for and planning for -- not me . what kind of person -- what kind of friend would i be if i took that away from them ? that would destroy lulu . georgie : not as destroyed as you 'll be once you give birth to your daughter , only to hand her over to be raised by lulu and dante . [ scene_break ] dante : franco 's in the hospital with a pretty professional - looking beatdown that he got tonight . i 'm trying to question him , and he tells me he walked into a door . lulu : and you think sonny had something to do with that ? dante : like i said , i - i know how sonny thinks . i 'm sure he 's behind this , but franco 's not talking and neither is alexis . lulu : wait . what does she have to do with it ? dante : oh , alexis is the one who brought franco to the hospital . i do n't even know what she was doing there , but i think she witnessed the beating , and now she 's covering for sonny . [ scene_break ] connie : i knew you two were getting closer , and i thought that maybe something might happen , but you swore to me that nothing was going on , olivia . olivia : and that -- that was the -- that was the truth . [ sighs ] of course , i love sonny . i always have , but -- but not in the way that you 're thinking . what -- what we have between us is all about our son . it 's about dante . there 's nothing more to sonny and me than that -- not like you and sonny . connie , you belong together . you always have . and i knew -- i knew how devastated he was when you -- when you left him , and i knew that whenever you were ready to take him back , he 'd be ready . connie 's the one you want . you ca n't deny it . well , do n't -- do n't leave her hanging like that .

[ sniffs ] you know his case better than anybody . are you sure that there 's nothing we can do to try and stop this ? justin : ciara , i wish there were . given that all of ben 's appeals have been denied and i have no new evidence to present -- i 'm so sorry . ciara : um , no , you 're fine . you have nothing to be sorry for . [ sniffles ] you did everything you could . it 's actually , um -- it 's actually my fault . it 's all on me . kayla : how -- how can you say that ? ciara : i say that because it 's the truth . ben might be a free man right now if i had n't wasted all that time trying to prove that victor and xander killed jordan and framed ben for it . after jordan was released from bayview , ben was terrified that she might try to hurt me . so he went to grandpa , and he asked him to -- kayla : kill her ? ciara : no , no , no , no . just -- just get her locked back up so she can get some help . but after jordan tried to poison me , grandpa went extreme -- or so i thought . justin : the theory was that victor saw an opportunity to eliminate the two greatest threats to his granddaughter at once . so he ordered xander to kill jordan and then set up ben to take the fall . ciara : yeah , but it turns out neither of them had anything to do with jordan 's murder . kayla : well , how do you know that ? ciara : well , because for months , i was looking for evidence to try to prove that they did it , but it was all circumstantial . it would n't hold up in court . so i finally confronted them , and i begged them to confess , and they convinced me that they were innocent . kayla : i do n't think that i would take either one of them at their word . ciara : well , normally i would agree with you , but , uh , trust me : in this case , they were definitely telling the truth . and i was dead wrong ... and now ben is gon na have to pay the ultimate price for my mistake . clyde : i warned you not to trust the system . not to put your faith in that hotshot lawyer and your uppity girlfriend . ben : you can save your `` i - told - you - so 's `` for yourself . i need to think about what i want to eat before they strap me down and stick a needle in my arm . clyde : the only thing you need to think about eating is some crow so you can admit you need your old man 's help . ben : how in god 's name can you help me now ? clyde : i still plan on busting out of here . you gon na join me ? hope as gina : this place is like a fortress . never gon na break out of here . face it , john . john : i 'm not facing anything , and i 'll be damned if i 'm giving up . and you 're not giving up either . right now , you 're gon na think about all those people who love you back in salem . you 're gon na think about your daughter . ciara 's gon na want you to be strong right now . you be strong , you be brave . hope as gina : like she has so many times . thank you . john , thank you , for the reminder . john : you 're gon na be okay . you 're gon na be okay . hope as gina : i 'll do my best to stay strong , okay ? maybe , um ... a little sustenance would help . john : no ! hope as gina : [ screams ] should i have -- john : stefano has tried to kill us on more than one occasion . from my experience at maison blanche , there 's a damn good chance he 's laced that with poison . rafe : still no luck ? roman : no . rafe ... i do n't like this . i am starting to think that stefano set a trap for john and steve and that they walked right into it . rafe : well , fortunately , we 've identified the last two people to have seen him , and they 've agreed to meet us here . anna : hello , roman . roman : oh , hey . justin : well , it seems as if all of salem has come to prague asking the same question : where is stefano dimera ? hattie as marlena : you said your phone had no reception . steve : yes , uh , i was just trying to get another signal , but no luck . i did n't want to get your hopes up . hattie as marlena : i can tell you 're lying to me . steve : yes , i am . because i was n't sure you could handle what i 'm about to show you . i ca n't keep the truth from you any longer . humira patients ... hope as gina : i really do n't think that stefano would poison us -- i really don't . it would deny him the sick pleasure of watching us die , john . john : well , knowing the old man , he probably is watching . and if he did kill marlena , he does n't have any reason to keep us alive . hope as gina : let 's not waste our energy thinking about or talking about stefano dimera . we need to focus on keeping our strength up , john . john : that 's a fact ... and i still do n't think it 's a good idea to eat that damn food . hope as gina : agreed . well , we ca n't survive without water . john : no , i would n't drink -- do n't ! [ stammers ] you should n't have done that , hope . hope as gina : there 's no point in both of us taking a chance . pretty soon , we 'll know if this water 's okay . [ sighs ] or not . john : no , no , no , no , no , no . tony : you know , a few evenings ago , john left me a message saying that he and steve johnson were in prague in search of my father . roman : so you came all the way from vienna to meet him ? tony : oh , i want my father brought to justice just as much as you do . roman : and you felt you had information that could help the cause ? tony : oh , i know i did . you see , i told steve and john that my father reached out to me a few months ago wanting to acquire my stake in dimera enterprises , but something strange happened . i do n't know what it is , except that he refused to meet with me in person . anna : hmm . rafe : so did you give stefano the share ? anna : no , he gave them to chad to help him bring down gabi . my tony is such a good big brother . [ laughs ] roman : tony ... are you absolutely sure it was stefano that contacted you ? tony : the language in the missive was very definitive of my father ... but because i did n't see him , i ca n't really be sure . rafe : so after you told steve and john your plans , did they tell you what they were doing ? tony : oh , even if they were going to share their plans with us , they did n't , because the meeting was cut short . roman : how come ? anna : because steve was acting like a pompous ass . steve : if you 're not ready ... hattie as marlena : [ sighs ] no , i -- i 'm ready . oh ! oh ! [ gasping ] steve : i 'm so sorry . i did n't want you to see those pictures . i do n't want you to have to remember john that way . hattie as marlena : he really was shot . steve : yes . in the head at close range . hattie as marlena : no , no . wait , wait -- those ca n't be real . steve : i know for a fact that they are . hattie as marlena : how do you know ? steve : because i took them myself right after john was murdered by stefano 's thugs . i 'm so sorry , marlena . i 'm afraid john is really gone . justin : i thought a little sustenance might help . kayla : yes , stay for dinner . come on . ciara : um , thank you , aunt kayla , but i really have zero appetite right now . kayla : how about -- how about stay the night ? you know , the guest room is -- ciara : no , aunt kayla , i do n't have time to sleep . since my grandpa and xander did n't kill jordan , that means her real killer is out there somewhere , and i need to find this person . i need to find them , or else ben dies . ben : i already told you ... i do n't want any part of your plan to break out of here . clyde : ben , you remember you were about ten or eleven years old , and i found out somebody was using my truck for a tractor pull ? i was sure as shinola that it was travis preston 's little kid , but you were so afraid of what i might do to that boy , you stepped up and took the blame . ben : and you knew the truth ... and you still whipped my ass anyway . clyde : that 's right . ben : you made him watch . clyde : yeah , and every time my switch hit your behind , that little twit just laughed his head off , 'cause he knew that you were a fool for taking his beating . ben : yeah , dad , well , lesson learned . clyde : i do n't think so . 'cause here you are , about to make the same mistake all over again . now , you recovered from my little beating , but once the needle goes in your arm , there 's no coming back . so you 've got ta ask yourself ... are you willing to let them kill you for something you did n't do ? has asthma pushed you into a smaller life ? ben : it 's over for me , pop . my fate is sealed . clyde : that 's bull . you 've still got a choice . ben : yeah , i got a choice : whether i want catfish or chicken fried steak for my last meal . clyde : i 'm talking about the choice that i 'm giving you . let me bust us out of here . you can pick up your gal . we hit the road and never look back . ben : you 're gon na leave ciara out of this . ciara : my entire mission right now is to clear ben 's name . he should have never been convicted , let alone put on death row . kayla : well , okay , if , uh , victor and xander are n't suspects , do you have any leads ? justin : looked over all the evidence in ben 's case multiple times . i mean , if there was road to go down -- uh , any other possibility to -- to look at ... okay , okay , look , this is what we 're gon na do . okay listen , to me : as hard as this is , we are gon na need to set our emotion aside , and we 're gon na just lay out all the facts , all right ? one more time . you with me ? okay . ciara : yeah . justin : ciara , okay . in the days and weeks before jordan 's murder , what was she up to ? what -- what was she doing ? ciara : um , she was here in salem trying to save everyone from her crazy brother by framing him for an awful crime . anna : setting the cabin on fire and almost burning you alive . ciara : yeah , and , uh , after i was rescued , she showed up in my hospital room and came after me with a syringe . justin : and that 's when they took her to bayview . ciara : yeah , where she dropped the bomb on rafe that she had a son . anna : baby david . and rafe agreed to be the guardian until she got well . ciara : yeah , except for when they released her , she was n't really well . she tried to kill me again with a poison cupcake , and then she tried to pin it on ben , again . except for this time , everyone in the town was onto her . so she ran away with her baby . justin : and the assumption is that she broke in to the dimera gatehouse to make another attempt on your life . but instead , she was the one who ended up dead . strangled with a scarf . ciara : and then ben -- aka the necktie killer -- goes to prison . justin : okay , let 's get back to jordan . it seems like she really only had two goals ... anna : to hurt ciara . ciara : and to get her baby back . kayla : well , thank god both of those things failed . can you imagine david 's life being raised by a tortured soul like jordan ? i think we should all be grateful to rafe for stepping up and taking care of that sweet baby when he had nobody else . ciara : what about david 's father ? i mean , what if he had something to do with jordan 's murder ? rafe : steve was rude to you ? tony : he was more than just rude . he was , i think , cruel to my anna . rafe : hmm . roman : okay , what happened ? anna : well , john asked tony if he thought he could make contact with his father again , and i said no . actually , what i said was : i did n't want my tony to have anything to do with that horrible , hateful man ever again . and then steve got so mad at me . he ... [ laughs ] he -- he told me to shut up . he told -- he called me all kinds of names . then my tony stepped in to try to defend me . he was gon na wallop him . then i got back in steve 's face and i asked him : why did he have a problem with me trashing stefano ? rafe : hmm . well , steve hates stefano just like the rest of us . tony : yes , well , you can imagine how surprised we were when steve was offended by anna 's proclamation . then he defended my father -- his most ardent enemy . roman : wait a minute . steve stood up for stefano ? tony : and if that was n't difficult enough to comprehend , steve also admitted how much he admired the man -- admired my father . can you imagine ? steve : marlena -- hattie as marlena : [ yelps ] why would you take those horrible pictures of john ? steve : as awful as it was , i had to document john 's death so that i would have evidence to prove what stefano did to him . hattie as marlena : and what about you ? why do n't you have a scratch on you ? steve : i honestly do n't know . stefano 's goons closed in on us , and i somehow managed to snap those pictures and escape with my life . but not john . hattie as marlena : then it 's true . he really is gone . i -- i 'm never ... never going to see him again . steve : yes . john : i really wish you had n't drunk that water . hope as gina : i 'm fine ... but you , on the other hand , john ... you do n't look so hot . john : [ groans ] hope as gina : oh ? john : i 'm all right . i just got ta keep working on those bars . hope as gina : hey , hey , hey . i 'm as determined as you are to get out of this hole . let me dig for a little while , okay ? so you can rest . john : thanks . i 'm just so damn ... dehydrated ... hope as gina : rest . john : [ sighs ] ugh , no paper towels ? ciara : we never found out who david 's father was . justin : jordan would n't identify him . so there was no way we could find him . did jordan ever say anything about him ? ciara : no . i mean , all rafe told me was that jordan got really upset any time he brought the subject up . she refused to talk about it and was very adamant that he stay out of david 's life . kayla : well , i know that jordan had her baby in california . do you guys really think that david 's father came here to kill jordan ? clyde : i 'm using ciara for motivation 'cause you seem to think she 's the only thing worth living for . ben : ciara is the reason why i do n't want to do this with you . you understand that ? if i bust out of here , she 's gon na come looking for me . she 's not gon na stay away , dad . what the hell do i possibly have to offer her now , huh ? what , a life on the run ? until death do us part ? clyde : call me crazy , but it sounds to me like the stuff of legend . who knows -- you kids could be the next bonnie and clyde . ben : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] rafe : well , thanks for filling us in . this has been very helpful . roman : yeah . yeah , it has been . uh , let us know if you hear from john or steve or stefano . tony : will do . anna : will won't . tony : darling , they 're only asking us to stay close . anna : i understand , but i 'm saying no . tony : excuse me . anna : tony . tony : darling . anna : i finally have you back , and you 're not in a dream or in my purse . the real deal , and we 're happy . we 're together . we 're happy . we 're living far away from that whole dimera mess . there 's absolutely no reason for you to get drawn back into it . rafe : there is a reason . please . we 're fairly certain stefano somehow convinced hope that she is princess gina , and that she has taken marlena hostage . hattie as marlena : [ shaky breathing ] i ca n't believe it . john 's dead . steve : marlena , marlena ... i 'm here for you . hattie as marlena : [ sniffles ] steve : i promised john that i would keep you safe , and i intend to honor his dying wish . hattie as marlena : [ sobs ] steve : come . come to me . hattie as marlena : [ sobbing ] steve : there . you 'll be all right . yeah . john : [ grunts ] come on , damn it .

[ sniffs ] you know his case better than anybody . are you sure that there 's nothing we can do to try and stop this ? justin : ciara , i wish there were . given that all of ben 's appeals have been denied and i have no new evidence to present -- i 'm so sorry . ciara : um , no , you 're fine . you have nothing to be sorry for . [ sniffles ] you did everything you could . it 's actually , um -- it 's actually my fault . it 's all on me . kayla : how -- how can you say that ? ciara : i say that because it 's the truth . ben might be a free man right now if i had n't wasted all that time trying to prove that victor and xander killed jordan and framed ben for it . after jordan was released from bayview , ben was terrified that she might try to hurt me . so he went to grandpa , and he asked him to -- kayla : kill her ? ciara : no , no , no , no . just -- just get her locked back up so she can get some help . but after jordan tried to poison me , grandpa went extreme -- or so i thought . justin : the theory was that victor saw an opportunity to eliminate the two greatest threats to his granddaughter at once . so he ordered xander to kill jordan and then set up ben to take the fall . ciara : yeah , but it turns out neither of them had anything to do with jordan 's murder . kayla : well , how do you know that ? ciara : well , because for months , i was looking for evidence to try to prove that they did it , but it was all circumstantial . it would n't hold up in court . so i finally confronted them , and i begged them to confess , and they convinced me that they were innocent . kayla : i do n't think that i would take either one of them at their word . ciara : well , normally i would agree with you , but , uh , trust me : in this case , they were definitely telling the truth . and i was dead wrong ... and now ben is gon na have to pay the ultimate price for my mistake . clyde : i warned you not to trust the system . not to put your faith in that hotshot lawyer and your uppity girlfriend . ben : you can save your `` i - told - you - so 's `` for yourself . i need to think about what i want to eat before they strap me down and stick a needle in my arm . clyde : the only thing you need to think about eating is some crow so you can admit you need your old man 's help . ben : how in god 's name can you help me now ? clyde : i still plan on busting out of here . you gon na join me ? hope as gina : this place is like a fortress . never gon na break out of here . face it , john . john : i 'm not facing anything , and i 'll be damned if i 'm giving up . and you 're not giving up either . right now , you 're gon na think about all those people who love you back in salem . you 're gon na think about your daughter . ciara 's gon na want you to be strong right now . you be strong , you be brave . hope as gina : like she has so many times . thank you . john , thank you , for the reminder . john : you 're gon na be okay . you 're gon na be okay . hope as gina : i 'll do my best to stay strong , okay ? maybe , um ... a little sustenance would help . john : no ! hope as gina : [ screams ] should i have -- john : stefano has tried to kill us on more than one occasion . from my experience at maison blanche , there 's a damn good chance he 's laced that with poison . rafe : still no luck ? roman : no . rafe ... i do n't like this . i am starting to think that stefano set a trap for john and steve and that they walked right into it . rafe : well , fortunately , we 've identified the last two people to have seen him , and they 've agreed to meet us here . anna : hello , roman . roman : oh , hey . justin : well , it seems as if all of salem has come to prague asking the same question : where is stefano dimera ? hattie as marlena : you said your phone had no reception . steve : yes , uh , i was just trying to get another signal , but no luck . i did n't want to get your hopes up . hattie as marlena : i can tell you 're lying to me . steve : yes , i am . because i was n't sure you could handle what i 'm about to show you . i ca n't keep the truth from you any longer . humira patients ... hope as gina : i really do n't think that stefano would poison us -- i really don't . it would deny him the sick pleasure of watching us die , john . john : well , knowing the old man , he probably is watching . and if he did kill marlena , he does n't have any reason to keep us alive . hope as gina : let 's not waste our energy thinking about or talking about stefano dimera . we need to focus on keeping our strength up , john . john : that 's a fact ... and i still do n't think it 's a good idea to eat that damn food . hope as gina : agreed . well , we ca n't survive without water . john : no , i would n't drink -- do n't ! [ stammers ] you should n't have done that , hope . hope as gina : there 's no point in both of us taking a chance . pretty soon , we 'll know if this water 's okay . [ sighs ] or not . john : no , no , no , no , no , no . tony : you know , a few evenings ago , john left me a message saying that he and steve johnson were in prague in search of my father . roman : so you came all the way from vienna to meet him ? tony : oh , i want my father brought to justice just as much as you do . roman : and you felt you had information that could help the cause ? tony : oh , i know i did . you see , i told steve and john that my father reached out to me a few months ago wanting to acquire my stake in dimera enterprises , but something strange happened . i do n't know what it is , except that he refused to meet with me in person . anna : hmm . rafe : so did you give stefano the share ? anna : no , he gave them to chad to help him bring down gabi . my tony is such a good big brother . [ laughs ] roman : tony ... are you absolutely sure it was stefano that contacted you ? tony : the language in the missive was very definitive of my father ... but because i did n't see him , i ca n't really be sure . rafe : so after you told steve and john your plans , did they tell you what they were doing ? tony : oh , even if they were going to share their plans with us , they did n't , because the meeting was cut short . roman : how come ? anna : because steve was acting like a pompous ass . steve : if you 're not ready ... hattie as marlena : [ sighs ] no , i -- i 'm ready . oh ! oh ! [ gasping ] steve : i 'm so sorry . i did n't want you to see those pictures . i do n't want you to have to remember john that way . hattie as marlena : he really was shot . steve : yes . in the head at close range . hattie as marlena : no , no . wait , wait -- those ca n't be real . steve : i know for a fact that they are . hattie as marlena : how do you know ? steve : because i took them myself right after john was murdered by stefano 's thugs . i 'm so sorry , marlena . i 'm afraid john is really gone . justin : i thought a little sustenance might help . kayla : yes , stay for dinner . come on . ciara : um , thank you , aunt kayla , but i really have zero appetite right now . kayla : how about -- how about stay the night ? you know , the guest room is -- ciara : no , aunt kayla , i do n't have time to sleep . since my grandpa and xander did n't kill jordan , that means her real killer is out there somewhere , and i need to find this person . i need to find them , or else ben dies . ben : i already told you ... i do n't want any part of your plan to break out of here . clyde : ben , you remember you were about ten or eleven years old , and i found out somebody was using my truck for a tractor pull ? i was sure as shinola that it was travis preston 's little kid , but you were so afraid of what i might do to that boy , you stepped up and took the blame . ben : and you knew the truth ... and you still whipped my ass anyway . clyde : that 's right . ben : you made him watch . clyde : yeah , and every time my switch hit your behind , that little twit just laughed his head off , 'cause he knew that you were a fool for taking his beating . ben : yeah , dad , well , lesson learned . clyde : i do n't think so . 'cause here you are , about to make the same mistake all over again . now , you recovered from my little beating , but once the needle goes in your arm , there 's no coming back . so you 've got ta ask yourself ... are you willing to let them kill you for something you did n't do ? has asthma pushed you into a smaller life ? ben : it 's over for me , pop . my fate is sealed . clyde : that 's bull . you 've still got a choice . ben : yeah , i got a choice : whether i want catfish or chicken fried steak for my last meal . clyde : i 'm talking about the choice that i 'm giving you . let me bust us out of here . you can pick up your gal . we hit the road and never look back . ben : you 're gon na leave ciara out of this . ciara : my entire mission right now is to clear ben 's name . he should have never been convicted , let alone put on death row . kayla : well , okay , if , uh , victor and xander are n't suspects , do you have any leads ? justin : looked over all the evidence in ben 's case multiple times . i mean , if there was road to go down -- uh , any other possibility to -- to look at ... okay , okay , look , this is what we 're gon na do . okay listen , to me : as hard as this is , we are gon na need to set our emotion aside , and we 're gon na just lay out all the facts , all right ? one more time . you with me ? okay . ciara : yeah . justin : ciara , okay . in the days and weeks before jordan 's murder , what was she up to ? what -- what was she doing ? ciara : um , she was here in salem trying to save everyone from her crazy brother by framing him for an awful crime . anna : setting the cabin on fire and almost burning you alive . ciara : yeah , and , uh , after i was rescued , she showed up in my hospital room and came after me with a syringe . justin : and that 's when they took her to bayview . ciara : yeah , where she dropped the bomb on rafe that she had a son . anna : baby david . and rafe agreed to be the guardian until she got well . ciara : yeah , except for when they released her , she was n't really well . she tried to kill me again with a poison cupcake , and then she tried to pin it on ben , again . except for this time , everyone in the town was onto her . so she ran away with her baby . justin : and the assumption is that she broke in to the dimera gatehouse to make another attempt on your life . but instead , she was the one who ended up dead . strangled with a scarf . ciara : and then ben -- aka the necktie killer -- goes to prison . justin : okay , let 's get back to jordan . it seems like she really only had two goals ... anna : to hurt ciara . ciara : and to get her baby back . kayla : well , thank god both of those things failed . can you imagine david 's life being raised by a tortured soul like jordan ? i think we should all be grateful to rafe for stepping up and taking care of that sweet baby when he had nobody else . ciara : what about david 's father ? i mean , what if he had something to do with jordan 's murder ? rafe : steve was rude to you ? tony : he was more than just rude . he was , i think , cruel to my anna . rafe : hmm . roman : okay , what happened ? anna : well , john asked tony if he thought he could make contact with his father again , and i said no . actually , what i said was : i did n't want my tony to have anything to do with that horrible , hateful man ever again . and then steve got so mad at me . he ... [ laughs ] he -- he told me to shut up . he told -- he called me all kinds of names . then my tony stepped in to try to defend me . he was gon na wallop him . then i got back in steve 's face and i asked him : why did he have a problem with me trashing stefano ? rafe : hmm . well , steve hates stefano just like the rest of us . tony : yes , well , you can imagine how surprised we were when steve was offended by anna 's proclamation . then he defended my father -- his most ardent enemy . roman : wait a minute . steve stood up for stefano ? tony : and if that was n't difficult enough to comprehend , steve also admitted how much he admired the man -- admired my father . can you imagine ? steve : marlena -- hattie as marlena : [ yelps ] why would you take those horrible pictures of john ? steve : as awful as it was , i had to document john 's death so that i would have evidence to prove what stefano did to him . hattie as marlena : and what about you ? why do n't you have a scratch on you ? steve : i honestly do n't know . stefano 's goons closed in on us , and i somehow managed to snap those pictures and escape with my life . but not john . hattie as marlena : then it 's true . he really is gone . i -- i 'm never ... never going to see him again . steve : yes . john : i really wish you had n't drunk that water . hope as gina : i 'm fine ... but you , on the other hand , john ... you do n't look so hot . john : [ groans ] hope as gina : oh ? john : i 'm all right . i just got ta keep working on those bars . hope as gina : hey , hey , hey . i 'm as determined as you are to get out of this hole . let me dig for a little while , okay ? so you can rest . john : thanks . i 'm just so damn ... dehydrated ... hope as gina : rest . john : [ sighs ] ugh , no paper towels ? ciara : we never found out who david 's father was . justin : jordan would n't identify him . so there was no way we could find him . did jordan ever say anything about him ? ciara : no . i mean , all rafe told me was that jordan got really upset any time he brought the subject up . she refused to talk about it and was very adamant that he stay out of david 's life . kayla : well , i know that jordan had her baby in california . do you guys really think that david 's father came here to kill jordan ? clyde : i 'm using ciara for motivation 'cause you seem to think she 's the only thing worth living for . ben : ciara is the reason why i do n't want to do this with you . you understand that ? if i bust out of here , she 's gon na come looking for me . she 's not gon na stay away , dad . what the hell do i possibly have to offer her now , huh ? what , a life on the run ? until death do us part ? clyde : call me crazy , but it sounds to me like the stuff of legend . who knows -- you kids could be the next bonnie and clyde . ben : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] rafe : well , thanks for filling us in . this has been very helpful . roman : yeah . yeah , it has been . uh , let us know if you hear from john or steve or stefano . tony : will do . anna : will won't . tony : darling , they 're only asking us to stay close . anna : i understand , but i 'm saying no . tony : excuse me . anna : tony . tony : darling . anna : i finally have you back , and you 're not in a dream or in my purse . the real deal , and we 're happy . we 're together . we 're happy . we 're living far away from that whole dimera mess . there 's absolutely no reason for you to get drawn back into it . rafe : there is a reason . please . we 're fairly certain stefano somehow convinced hope that she is princess gina , and that she has taken marlena hostage . hattie as marlena : [ shaky breathing ] i ca n't believe it . john 's dead . steve : marlena , marlena ... i 'm here for you . hattie as marlena : [ sniffles ] steve : i promised john that i would keep you safe , and i intend to honor his dying wish . hattie as marlena : [ sobs ] steve : come . come to me . hattie as marlena : [ sobbing ] steve : there . you 'll be all right . yeah . john : [ grunts ] come on , damn it .

[ gasps ] oh , i know . the bellman called you , said that daniel was drunk . so you ran over there so worried , and then -- oh , and then you spilled something on your outfit , and -- chloe : that 's brilliant ! too bad i already used that . nancy : well , then all i can say is ... good luck . you 'll need it .

[ scene_break ] katie : i really do n't want to talk about this anymore . bill : well , we have to talk about it . you have been avoiding this subject ever since you told me that you fired steffy . katie : that 's because i do n't trust her , and there 's nothing more to say . i do n't want to work with her . bill : all right , listen . i understand where you 're coming from . but you are the c.e.o . of this company , and from a business perspective , it 's a bad move . katie , you do n't realize how damaging this could be . we 've got the momentum . the glamour collection is the talk of the industry . steffy is the talk of the industry , because it 's her concept . now if you fire her , every tabloid in the country is going to be camped out in the parking lot . katie : fine . let them . someone once told me that there 's no such thing as bad press . bill : well , you see , there is an exception to every rule , even mine . katie : hmm . bill : now on top of that situation , how are you going to deal with ridge , miss c.e.o , when he finds out ? katie : ( sighs ) bill : and he will .

[ scene_break ] bill : katie , when you 're running a company , you ca n't let personal matters get in the way of good business sense . katie : what you 're asking is impossible . this is a creative , collaborative environment . our relationships , by definition , have to be personal or -- or we ca n't function as a creative team . bill : having said that , you 're not acting like a c.e.o . you 're acting like a jealous wife . katie : well , that 's awfully condescending .

[ scene_break ] brooke : exciting news ? well , let 's hear it . donna : i had no idea that you had been working on something . ridge : you both know how strongly we feel about losing the company to spencer . brooke : is that why you think your designs are less than perfect ? ridge : they are less than perfect . as much as i love working with steffy , while i 'm sitting alone trying to work on my drafting board , i 've got one thought that 's infusing into my mind constantly . and that 's i 'm just doing this to make money for bill spencer . it makes me crazy . eric : ridge is an artist . he 's a designer , and as a designer , i can tell you it 's impossible to feel inspired when your loyalties are so divided . so i decided to do something about it , the same thing you tried to do not too long ago , but this time , it 's gon na be different . we have a lot of friends out there , and spencer has a lot of enemies . so i been pulling together some money . people are rallying behind us . 10 % more than what he paid for this company -- i 'm this close to making a buy - back offer . brooke : eric , why do you think bill 's gon na sell this time when he fought so hard to buy forrester creations ? eric : spencer 's genius is in publications and media , not fashion . ridge : he needs to realize he 's way out of his league , both he and katie . eric : how would you feel about katie being replaced as c.e.o . ? [ scene_break ] steffy : you 'd think i 'd keep going after your husband after he rejected me ? i do have some self - respect . katie : it 's your self - restraint that i have n't seen much evidence of . steffy : are you really that threatened by me ? katie : no . steffy : no , of -- of course not . there 's no reason to be . so why fire me ? punishment , retribution , what ? katie : your position calls for you to work closely with me . you do n't see your actions as an obstacle to that ? steffy : how do you think my dad 's gon na react when he finds out i 've been fired ? you know how he 'll react . he 'll never see this as my fault . katie : so you think we should n't rock the boat . steffy : so what are you gon na do ? katie : fine . you can stay . steffy : wait . are you -- are you serious ? katie : i want us all to work together , steffy . i think we all want the same thing . we want this company to be great . we 're on our way . do n't mess it up . steffy : okay . i - i ca n't believe you 're actually giving me a second chance . thank you . katie : go unpack your office . i want a full report on the hollywood glamour campaign in the morning . bill : i 'm proud of you . katie : i think that was a big mistake . and i 'm not just being a jealous wife .

[ scene_break ] avery : wine will not convince me that you are suddenly over your ex . adam : or that you 're over yours ? avery : adam . adam : i joke -- sort of . but i did not call you here to talk about dylan . avery : ah . did you call me because you need a drinking buddy ? maybe you should get out more . adam : i have a social life , thank you . avery : yes , i - i saw the woman leaving . [ clears throat ] adam : have a seat . newman enterprises can be all - consuming , especially as we work to take it private . so , i hope it 's not interfering with your , uh , personal life . avery : it 's okay . i 'm used to it . adam : well , i noticed that you , uh -- you 're not wearing your engagement ring . while it is no business of mine ... avery : [ clears throat ] adam : ... i have to assume that it 's because you 've just been too busy to put it back on . or perhaps there 's something more ? avery : well , you have a hypothesis , obviously . adam : i understand lingering emotions . and , uh ... perhaps you 're just not wanting to commit to my brother because you still have feelings for sergeant mcavoy . avery : he was a lieutenant , and dylan and i have moved on , and you know that . adam : sex and love ... two entirely different things . dylan may be playing daddy to chelsea 's baby bump , but i think you and i both know that his heart is still with you . avery : you know , it 's funny . you are usually quite unreadable , except with the topic of chelsea , where you become completely transparent . adam : so , you 're saying you can see the wall behind me ? avery : you 're trying to shove me back into dylan 's arms because you want chelsea in yours . [ scene_break ] kevin : you 've got your boot on my neck , but you care about my well - being ? alex : your wife sat in a cell for you . from what i hear , her daughter 's crazy about you -- says you 're the best thing ever . so , what happens if you get caught , if you do time ? what happens to them ? and i 'm not talking , like , they 'll end up on the streets , okay ? because they 'll be fine . chloe 's way smarter than you . they 'll have food . they 'll have a roof over their head . but they believe in you . so , you let them down , and you 're saying they 're idiots . you 're saying that they ca n't trust anyone ever . so , what kind of a lesson is that you want for that little girl ? kevin : what , are you trying to earn your angel wings or something ? alex : i 'm done with you . you do what you want . come here . [ scene_break ] avery : when i first met you , you were the man sharon put her trust in -- the man she loved , the man she hurt , who was hurt by . you blew it with her big- time , and then , miraculously , you got a chance at something just as powerful with chelsea . you were in love . you had a baby on the way . adam : did n't work out . avery : adam , i know what it 's like to come so close to a miracle and -- and then lose it . i know how awful that feels . i lost a baby with dylan . and i thought it was ... punishment for breaking my marriage vows . i thought i did n't deserve to be happy with dylan , and it was too late to be happy with my husband , and so i just pushed everything down . and i came to genoa city , and i focused on other wounds , and ... i tried very hard to not think about the life that could have been . adam : i 'm sorry you went through that . avery : i 'm sorry you did , too . and the side effect to your pain is that you focused everything on newman and you let chelsea walk out . and now ... adam : right . and now what ? avery : and now chelsea is gone , and i 'm sure you still have part of her heart . that 's how love works . but she 's reaching for happiness , so just let her have it . let her move on . let yourself move on . adam : i 'm usually pretty good at walking away from things . i feel this pull . maybe it 's the baby . avery : you think the baby is yours . adam : and i 'm sure that very thought has crossed dylan 's mind , as well . avery : [ sighs ] adam , it 's a child . i know that chelsea has had a colorful past , but it makes no sense that she would lie about who the baby 's father is . [ scene_break ] dylan : it looked like i walked in on something before . chloe : uh , with me and chelsea ? i 'm just having a really bad day -- really bad day . you want details ? dylan : chloe , chelsea is on edge . now , i 'm asking you why . please ? chloe : the baby . dylan : what about the baby ? chloe : the doctor appointment . um ... yeah . you know , it was really rough for her , too , okay ? you know , she was really looking forward to having a baby for a long time , and you originally were n't a part of that plan , and now you are . and it 's -- you know , it 's -- it 's difficult enough just raising a kid with someone that you 're committed to , and , i mean , you guys did n't even know each other 's last names when you conceived the lima bean . dylan : uh , no . no , we did n't plan this baby . but this baby 's gon na be looked after and loved . chloe : love is great . love is awesome . and so is ... continuity and stability . and kids -- they love same - old , same - old , day in and day out . dylan : well , i 'm not going anywhere , if that 's -- if that 's what you 're asking . this is my baby , and this is my home now . chloe : okay . so , your home ... dylan : mm - hmm . chloe : ... your baby . dylan : mm - hmm . chloe : and what is chelsea ? dylan : uh , well , i -- you know , i really like chelsea , and i hope things keep building to -- to where they 've been going , but regardless what happens with us , i 'm this baby 's father , and nothing can change that . [ scene_break ] chelsea : is this weird -- me asking you here ? or maybe you predicted it . [ chuckles ] sorry . dumb joke . madame miranda : [ foreign accent ] i could sense that you were in conflict with your decision . the truth of this baby 's father is churning inside of you . chelsea : well , the baby 's father is the man that i was with when i met you -- dylan -- but you said that you were seeing another man , and i had questions about him . madame miranda : ah , yes -- the one who loves you , the one who wants to set things right . his pain is deep . [ sighs ] so many regrets . and the biggest is losing you . you will have regrets , too , if you are not honest with yourself and with him . [ scene_break ] lily : i love it ! roxy : aww . [ chuckles ] leslie : i , uh , may ask to borrow it sometime . lily : [ chuckles ] roxy : after i do . lily : and i promise to share . i do . and you are gon na be amazing tomorrow . you 're gon na take the campaign to a whole new level , and you can call me anytime . devon : thanks . neil : that 's right , and , you , my darling , are gon na have your hands filled with your own work . lily : yes . well , abby and i are gon na be the new marketing dream team . devon : you 're working with abby ? lily : yeah . devon : she 's awesome . she 's crazy but awesome .

[ indistinct conversations ] lily : bye ! cane : bye , guys . drive safe . lily : [ groans ] ahh . [ chuckles ] cane : you tired ? lily : yes , but in a good way . that was very sneaky of you to say that you were in chicago when you were n't in chicago . [ chuckles ] cane : how could i leave you on your birthday ? you 're the woman of my dreams and the mother of my children . lily : aww . cane : hmm . i have to admit , though , i was getting a little , um , concerned when you did n't get here sooner . lily : i know . i 'm sorry . it just -- tyler asked if i wanted to get a drink , and -- cane : for your birthday , huh ? lily : you know , just to say `` good job `` and `` goodbye `` and , you know , i 'm -- for leaving the campaign , so ... cane : well , you did such an amazing job with it , i do n't know what neil was thinking , letting you go and bringing tyler back . lily : well , it was actually my idea . you know , i stepped away so that tyler could come back . it was his marketing plan to begin with , so ... cane : and you were just willing to walk away , huh ? lily : well , it 's what i wanted . [ scene_break ] noah : tyler , hey , you get lily home okay ? tyler : yeah , mission accomplished . missy : who 's lily ? lisa : should we be jealous ? noah : uh , missy , lisa , this is tyler . both : hi , tyler . tyler : [ chuckles ] noah : the girls , uh , convinced me to go see a band . you 're in . tyler : actually , i got an early morning , man , so , um ... i 'm just gon na grab a quick drink and head home . noah : you find a place , yet ? tyler : i have n't even had a chance to look . noah : not much out there . lisa : our place is great , and it 's for rent . noah : if it 's so great , why are you guys moving out ? missy : graduation . lisa : you should come check it out -- watch the sunrise . [ scene_break ] adam : [ sighs ] why would chelsea lie about the baby ? that is a deep and cosmic question . avery : no , it 's a rhetorical question , actually , meaning she would n't . look , i know it hurts to know that the person you still care about took someone to bed and created a child ... adam : are we talking about me or you here ? avery : ... but that happened , and now a one - night stand has turned into a new life for all three of them . dylan will do right by chelsea , and maybe this is some kind of fate . adam : [ chuckling ] oh . `` everything happens for a reason . `` you 're one of those , huh ? avery : i came to genoa city , and i met nick , and that 's because dylan went on a second tour , and i lost the baby -- adam : no , no , no . the world went and kicked you in the head , okay ? plain and simple . and you got nicholas as a consolation prize , and that 's the way the world works . you got gypped , avery . avery : okay , well , chelsea and dylan have suffered , and the universe has given them both something wonderful .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : i am honest . madame miranda : you do not believe what i have to say . why did you call me here ? chelsea : well , i just thought -- madame miranda : he misses you . he misses the child you were supposed to have together -- the child you both longed for . chelsea : how did you know -- ? madame miranda : this man -- i see him in a shimmer of light , strength , power , money . you and the child -- you would be loved and cared for , provided for in a way that no other man could . chelsea : and how much did this man provide you ? madame miranda : madame miranda does not understand . chelsea : [ chuckling ] oh . you oversold it . adam paid you to feed me this nonsense , did n't he ? madame miranda : madame miranda is offering you the truth . chelsea : oh , my god . how much ? how much did he give you ? $ 5,000 ? $ 5,000 ? $ 10,000 ? what 's the going rate for a scam like this , hmm ? madame miranda : madame miranda ... [ american accent ] has a mortgage like everyone else . chelsea : [ chuckling ] oh . you know what ? you 're a decent con , but i was way better . you have been made , and adam is going to regret ever trying to pull this one on me . [ scene_break ] abby : things looked pretty intense between you and kevin before he took off . [ chuckling ] i thought i was gon na see cartoon steam coming out of your ears . alex : yeah , well , the guy is stupid and stubborn . here . it 's a bad combination . abby : [ chuckles ] well , how stupid can a computer genius be ? alex : he skipped out on community service . abby : okay . so ? those things happen . there 's lots of distractions , speaking from experience . alex : yeah , well , whatever you did is nothing compared to all the stuff that fisher has pulled . he 's looking at doing some serious time if he does n't get his act together , and the thing is now his brother 's not here to make it all nice - nice . abby : you sound kind of bitter about michael , considering that you 've done the same for your sister . alex : and she handcuffed me to a railing and took my gun , making me look like a jerk , right ? so , now she thinks she 's untouchable . and same as kevin , okay ? a guy like that robbing houses ... abby : well , maybe he needed the money . adam newman did screw him out -- alex : but what about the people who lose their businesses and their jobs and their houses -- the ones that do n't resort to breaking and entering ? the guy 's a junkie , and that 's his fix , okay ? he needs the rush . he needs a bigger haul , something to feed that hunger -- to get that high going . he 's got to stop . he 's got to stop right now , cold turkey . i 'm done . abby : hmm . alex : [ sighs ] abby : you know ... alex : [ clears throat ] abby : ... i have never seen you this fired up . alex : well [ sighs ] you ever been arrested by a detective that 's this fired up ? abby : hmm . let me think about it . the time i rode in naked on a horse ? alex : ooh . abby : mm . no . the time that i took all of my clothes off for those little otters ? no . not that time , either . alex : [ groans ] i miss all the good stuff . abby : mm . alex : mm . abby : this seems pretty good . what do you think you 're missing ? alex : well , it seems like every time you 're naked , there 's a gust of wind , so ... maybe we can open a window or something . abby : well , i do think that i can relive my glory days . maybe there 's a stiff gust of wind in our future . alex : mm . abby : mm .

[ pen clicks ] chloe : is , uh -- is that the espresso machine acting up ? kevin : i do n't hear anything . chloe : oh , no , actually , i think it is . come over here . excuse us . are you deranged ? he could buy three coffeehouses for that kind of money . i mean , he could pay the people to buy the coffee from him . kevin : yeah , but his little doodle does n't cover half of what we owe . chloe : well , that 's not fair , is it ? maybe we can pay the bank what we can now and then just pay the rest later . kevin : okay , if his finances are so good , he can up his price . chloe : we 're gon na squeeze the guy who actually wants this place and has a baby on the way ? that 's just swell . kevin : you know , we have a kid , too -- one that eats solid food . chloe : a kid who needs to see us do the right thing . kevin : [ sighs ] chloe : she 's stealing , kevin . delia took a doll from brianna because she wanted it . kevin : and you 're saying that 's my fault ? it is not like i took her with me when i -- chloe : stole and got me arrested when you should have been arrested ? you 're a bad example , kevin . you are . kevin : hold on , now . i love that kid . chloe : will you just please prove it and be the guy that she wants to look up to ? please ? kevin : [ sighs ] we have a deal . so , uh , when can we do this ? dylan : uh , i can get to the money by monday morning . kevin : good . that 's good . dylan : yeah , this is great . this is great . i hate to ask you a favor . uh , everyone says you 're the master of the machine , and although i love this place , i do n't know jack about coffee , so if you could stay on and maybe show me the ropes , i 'd really appreciate that . kevin : yeah , sure . that 's not a problem . dylan : thank you . thanks . kevin : okay . [ sighs ] chloe : i am so proud of you . [ scene_break ] adam : well , you make a very good argument for letting go of the past , counselor . avery : ah . does that mean you 'll listen ? adam : it means ... i 'm feeling the urge to toast . to our exes . no ? avery : no . i know that feeling . i had the same ... loneliness when i came to genoa city , and you know what ? it passed . something good is gon na happen for you , adam . i believe that . adam : maybe this is it . chelsea and dylan -- they get a chance at a new beginning , and i get -- i do n't know what i get . but , hey , who 'd have thunk it -- you and me , standing here right now , conversing as friends over drinks ? avery : and i think this is where i say thank you for the wine and , as your friend , i tell you not to lose faith . something is always around the corner . [ scene_break ] leslie : your son is not taking off to london to work with tucker . neil : yeah . i was bracing myself to watch him go , but he stepped up , took over for lily , working with tyler . honestly , watching tyler and lily together drove me crazy , but now they 're not gon na be working together . let 's cheers to that . yes !

[ scene_break ] cane : you missed one . lily : what ? cane : and that 's -- you missed this one , and that 's probably 'cause i had it hidden in the closet , so ... lily : oh .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : is this weird -- me asking you here ? or maybe you predicted it . [ chuckles ] sorry . dumb joke . madame miranda : [ foreign accent ] i could sense that you were in conflict with your decision . the truth of this baby 's father is churning inside of you . chelsea : well , the baby 's father is the man that i was with when i met you -- dylan -- but you said that you were seeing another man , and i had questions about him . madame miranda : ah , yes -- the one who loves you , the one who wants to set things right . his pain is deep .

[ previously_on ] kevin : i do n't get why you would take such a risk . not just with your new job , but you 're taking on adam . michael : i told him what would happen if he messed with my brother . billy : quick trip to cali , and i 'll be back before you miss me . [ engine revving ] chloe : are you sure we should n't take him to the hospital ? kevin : we can't . he tried to kill adam , and crashed whoever 's car that was . chelsea : chloe ? ! you 're al - alive ? how ? kevin : well , it 's -- it 's complicated . chelsea : i thought you were my best friend . i thought that i could trust you more than anyone in the entire world . you pretended to help me grieve over adam . meanwhile , you knew the whole time that you were responsible for my pain ! chelsea : morning . nick : morning . 11 : 54 . just under the wire . chelsea : [ hisses ] i know . sorry . i - i did n't mean to sleep so late . nick : no , do n't apologize . you 've been putting in some serious hours getting ready for your event , and , uh , the boys have been doing an amazing job entertaining themselves . chelsea : ah , then what 's been occupying your time ? nick : uh , just catching up on the news . prepare yourself . it seems adam is not the only one who 's cheated death recently . chelsea : it hit the news already . that did n't take long . nick : you knew about this ? chelsea : i bumped into chloe and kevin at the coffeehouse yesterday . nick : [ scoffs ] how is this not something that would come up ? chelsea : i think i was just still in shock . i mean , it 's so surreal . part of me still ca n't believe it . nick : well , you were n't hallucinating . other people have seen her , too . chelsea : that 's actually the reason i overslept . i was up all night , tossing and turning , staring up at the ceiling , re - living everything chloe put connor and me through . that woman completely derailed our lives . chloe : will you stop looking around ? you are giving me the willies . kevin : if anyone recognizes you , then -- chloe : it was your idea . you said that we needed to be out in public . kevin : does n't mean i want to see you get attacked again . chloe : okay , chelsea had every right to hand it to me . besides , the whole point is to be out , acting natural , and not freaked out that we kidnapped billy and stashed him in a boathouse and drugged him into a stupor . kevin : he 's just catching up on his sleep . we 're doing him a favor . he 'll heal better from the accident , too . chloe : okay , are you sure that he 's not gon na wake up while we 're gone ? kevin : how many more times are you gon na ask me that ? chloe : [ kicks ] kevin : ow ! ha ! chloe : do i need to repeat the question ? kevin : the sedative i gave him is going to keep him knocked out for hours , which will give us time to figure out what the hell to do next . chloe : [ sighs ] kevin : first order of business -- we need to come up with a cover story the abbotts will buy . chloe : great . the abbotts and victoria -- all very smart , savvy people . how long is one text going to keep them from contacting the police ? kevin : it depends on the text . they 're gon na think it 's from billy , since we grabbed his phone , so that 's gon na buy us some time . chloe : [ groans ] i do n't know . [ sighs ] kevin : come on ! help me . we have one shot at this , and `` i ran off and joined the circus `` ai n't gon na cut it . chloe : fine . um ... [ kevin sighs ] how about `` i ran away to rehab `` ? i mean ... they might buy that . it 's not perfect , because he has n't been gambling lately -- kevin : it 's brilliant . totally . i say jack , traci , victoria . keep things simple . chloe : [ sighing ] okay . victoria : chloe ? um ... i heard the news , but ... still , seeing you like this , it 's -- it 's so mind - blowing . [ doorbell rings ] michael : oh . you wanted to see me ? adam : do you care to explain this ? michael : ah ! love to . uh , well , while you were fantasizing about all the hoops that you 'd make me jump through as district attorney , i was using my new position to see that justice was done . adam : chloe is only facing charges of arson and destruction of property . not for any of the multiple attempts trying to kill me . that sounds more like a perversion of justice to me . michael : mm . well , to bring further charges , i 'd need proof beyond a reasonable doubt . no jury will believe that you were inside the cabin chloe blew up . i mean , there 's just -- there 's not a scratch on you . adam : aside from the bullet wound she put in my stomach . michael : oh , well [ scoffs ] i mean , you arranged for some poor schmo from vegas to take the fall for that . oh , unless you want your lie to come out into the open , because you 'd be facing some serious charges yourself in that event . adam : that 's very clever , counselor . michael : just doing my job . you did n't think it through when you suggested i run for district attorney , but i did . that knife you were holding at my throat , i knew , with the power of this office , i could change it into ... a feather . and luckily for me , i 'm not in the least bit ticklish . additional sponsorship nick : look , i get why you 're upset . i will never forget , uh , how it felt to find chloe 's body . it was gruesome and tragic and something that nobody should ever have to experience . and then , you know , having to deal with the guilt that maybe our determination to find her was too much for her to handle , and that drove her to commit suicide . at least -- at least , we thought . chelsea : yeah , and i 'm -- i 'm grateful it was n't true . i 'd hate to think of bella growing up without her mother this whole time . but my son grew up without his father because of what chloe did . not to mention , what kind of person , after believing they murdered somebody , goes back to the grieving widow and pretends to be her best friend ? ! it 's sick ! nick : [ sighs ] no one could blame chloe for wanting adam dead . chelsea : you feel sorry for her , do n't you ? i can hear it in your voice . nick : it 's just -- it 's hard for me to judge her . chelsea : [ sighs ] because of cassie . nick : yeah . when she died , the rage i felt drove me to do some pretty rotten things to people . you know , i lost my only daughter , just like chloe did . the grief was overwhelming . now , that does n't excuse some of the things she 's done , like completely upend your life . but maybe that was a reaction to having her whole world blown to smithereens by adam . this whole chain of events started with him . michael : so , have i answered all your questions pertaining to chloe ? 'cause i have a big day ahead of me serving the faithful voters of walworth county . they 're the only masters i answer to now . adam : mm . is that what you think , michael ? michael : as much as i 've enjoyed our working relationship , which is to say , not at all , i think it 's time it came to an end . since kevin and chloe have nothing to fear from you any longer , that means neither do i . adam : well , i would n't be so sure about that . i 've been expecting this from you for some time . michael : really ? adam : mm - hmm . michael : or is this just some attempt to maintain your reputation for being all - powerful , omniscient , blah , blah , blah ? adam : [ sighs ] it is totally corrupt to use the powers of your office to shield a family member from prosecution . but i do find it reassuring that you are willing to bend the rules when necessary . situational ethics is a positive trait in any secret ally . michael : maybe i did n't make myself clear to you -- you no longer have any hold over me , adam . and do n't bother making any empty threats about exposing whatever sleazy tactics you used to rig the election on my behalf . because we both know , you 'd be in more hot water for that than i would . adam : all right . no more empty threats . michael : mm - hmm . adam : tell me , michael , how is your son doing these days ? victoria : so , um , where were you living ? kevin : portland . victoria : so that part of the cover story was true . were -- were you together the whole time ? chloe : pretty much . victoria : oh . how is it that you managed to stay hidden for so long ? and -- and why did you decide that now was the time to come back to genoa city ? chloe : wow . that 's a lot of questions . victoria : i 'm sorry . i am . i - i do n't mean to pry . it 's just that -- kevin : well , you know , it 's , uh , not every day somebody comes back from the dead . chloe : no , just every other day . [ both chuckle ] kevin : and , well , with regard to the timing , uh , it was getting harder and harder to keep things quiet . you know , bella 's getting older , asking more questions . like why could n't chloe come with us any time we came to town to visit her grandmother ? stuff like that . victoria : e - esther did n't know ? chloe : i know how awful that sounds . and it was . but the plan was crazy and risky , and we just did n't want to drag my mom down with us if the plan went south . kevin : especially since we needed esther to raise bella if the two of us ended up in prison . victoria : i hope that esther did n't find out from that tabloid story . chloe : no , i came home a month ago . i told her then . victoria : oh . which explains why you were here around the same time . kevin : yeah , i guess so . victoria : you mentioned that you ran into billy on that visit . you know , that 's funny . that 's right around the time that he was having nightmares , and he started having insomnia . did you see billy on that trip , too ? does he know that you 're alive ? chelsea : i do n't understand what 's happening right now . you were the one who was so determined to prove that chloe was the one that blew up the cabin , and now you just -- you -- you just forgive her ? nick : i 've almost lost it a few times since adam 's come back , so it 's easier for me to sympathize with chloe . chelsea : no . okay ? you punched adam . that is not even in the same realm as what chloe did . nick : i know . and how you choose to handle this going forward is completely up to you . chelsea : what are you talking about ? what makes you think i would want anything to do with that woman ever again ? nick : how worked up you are . chelsea : [ sighs ] you know , she -- she said how sorry she was , and she ... said she 's back to her old self , and that she and adam could coexist , and that she just wants to move on with her life . nick : you believe her ? chelsea : [ scoffs ] does it matter ? all i keep thinking about is just how different everything would be -- for me . for my son . for all of the newmans . for everybody -- if that cabin did n't explode . if adam did n't lose three years of his life , and come back here just desperate to claw back everything that was taken from him . nick : adam made his own choices . he was an entitled , manipulative jerk long before he met chloe . chelsea : it does n't let her off the hook , nick . nick : well , she 's got enough on her conscience . and she does n't need you to pile on adam 's crimes . and , look , this whole thing is not about chloe for me . it 's about you . you two were pretty tight . friendships like that are hard to come by . chelsea : i know . nick : so you got to ask yourself , do you want to get back what you had , or are you beyond caring ? you 're just ready to move on . if that 's the case , you do n't owe chloe mitchell a damn thing . but if you can get past this resentment , find a way to forgive , that 's a different story . and it might be worth a shot . but only you can answer that question . michael : did you just make the mistake of threatening my son ? adam : oh , no , not at all . i was merely asking if you 'd heard from him lately . michael : i 'm going to say that 's none of your business . adam : [ inhales deeply ] so that 's a no . you know , it makes sense . 'cause he 's on tour , hanging out with his buddies , having a good old time . well , hopefully not too good a time , given his history . michael : what are you implying ? just -- just spit it out . adam : that 's fen , is n't it ? partying . and apparently dealing . yep . that is definitely cash in his hand . i know the photo quality 's not great . and i know what a stickler you are for `` proof beyond a reasonable doubt . `` michael : you bastard ! adam : ah , ah , ah . no need to get riled . according to my source , he 's not in deep . just makes sure everybody has a good time on tour . [ sighs ] got to say , though , it 's a big risk with a drug history like that . [ sighs ] i believe that photo was taken in atlanta . or maybe it was -- maybe it was tulsa . did you know the average sentence for drug trafficking in oklahoma is eight years in a state penitentiary ? michael : what do you want from me ? adam : nothing at the moment . i just want you to be aware that that little bit of time that the knife was n't at your throat , it 's only because i was sharpening it . great news ! chloe : please do n't be mad at billy . i begged him to keep it secret . victoria : i just assumed that you were worried about adam finding out and coming after you . chloe : he did find out . he was blackmailing kevin and me , threatening to turn me in to the police if kevin did n't follow his orders . victoria : billy knew about that ? oh , my god . no wonder he was so livid at adam . and the thought of you being tormented , it must have made him feel so powerless . chloe : i did n't mean to make him upset . kevin : whoa , whoa . do n't feel guilty for something adam did . victoria : you should feel guilty , kevin . the other day , you asked me how billy was doing when you knew better than i did what he 's dealing with . kevin : before i left , billy said he was gon na get help , see a therapist . i - i thought he would be okay . victoria : you are not qualified to make that call . kevin : i was focused on protecting chloe . victoria : at billy 's expense . kevin : [ sighs ] i realize that now . and -- and when i saw him again , and saw that he was worse , i - i was concerned . victoria : and yet you did n't reach out to me . [ sighs ] i really wish that you would have cared enough about billy 's well- being to be honest with me . chloe : i am really sorry that all of this happened . i wish i had never gotten billy into this whole mess . victoria : i do n't blame you for reaching out . you needed help . and -- i 'm just worried about billy , okay ? kevin : i think this business trip he 's on is the best thing for him . it 's time away from adam . time to just chill out . say , once he 's back , why do n't we all get together and just talk this through . when is he coming home ? victoria : uh , he was n't sure when he was coming back . chloe : well , you just keep us in the loop , okay ? victoria : i will . i will . thank you very much for your candor . i appreciate it . we 'll talk soon . chloe , it was nice to see you . kevin : [ sighs ] i feel like a complete heel . victoria 's right . if i had just told her what was going on with billy , she could have stopped him from unraveling and -- and trying to kill adam . chloe : yeah . and we just lied to her again . we are total jerks . kevin : maybe we should tell her what he did . she loves him far too much to turn him in . chloe : no , that would mean making her our accomplice . if adam and the cops find out what billy did , i do n't want her to be on the hook for it . kevin : me neither , but we do n't have any good options here . chloe : well , if i can get billy 's head on straight , i think that will make up for all of it . kevin : chloe , i am concerned that you working with billy is going to bring out ... your murderous rage . chloe : when i saw billy driving that car , the only thing i could think about was saving adam . kevin : for billy 's sake . chloe : and connor 's . i do n't want that little boy to grow up without a father . i keep thinking about all of the people that love adam . and that 's how i know that i 've truly changed . kevin : okay . you 've convinced me . i will make sure you have all the time you need to get through to billy . chloe : thank you . kevin : let 's send that text . chloe : okay . [ sighs ] kevin : okay . jack : there are other addiction - treatment programs out there . very few of them are evidence - based , and fewer still are designed specifically for performing artists and musicians . lauren : all right , you do n't have to go any further . i 've definitely heard enough . jack : then you 'll increase your quarterly contribution ? lauren : how does another 5 % sound ? jack : it is music to my ears . thank you . lauren : it 's a cause i am very happy to support . it 's close to my heart . [ cellphone chimes ] jack : on account of fen . [ sighs ] lauren : is everything okay ? jack : [ sighs ] the timing of this . we were just talking about addiction- treatment facilities . this is a text from billy saying he 's checked himself into rehab for his gambling again . lauren : oh , i 'm so sorry . jack : you know what ? he -- he sent this to traci , too . i - i got to get home and talk to her about this . lauren : yeah , of course . go , go . and if there 's anything that i can do ... jack : thank you very much . thank you . lauren : of course . michael : hello , jack . jack : hey , michael . i - i got a family emergency i got to deal with . i 'll see you later . lauren : he 's worried about billy . he relapsed with gambling . addiction is such a cruel disease . michael : i need to talk to you . lauren : oh . is it about chloe ? is there a legal hang - up in her case ? michael : no , it 's , uh -- it 's a bit closer to home , i 'm afraid . it 's fenmore . i 've always been excited for what 's next . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . michael : have you talked to fenmore lately ? do you know where he is now ? lauren : i - i 'm not sure . maybe cleveland . why ? michael : call lp . find out his touring schedule . uh , say you want to send him a care package , whatever . just do n't say you 're arranging a visit . lauren : are we ? michael : you are . lauren : uh , wait a minute . what -- what 's going on ? i do n't understand . why ca n't i tell fen that i 'm coming ? michael : if our son knows you 're on your way , i think he 'll find a reason not to be there . lauren : no , fen and i are on good terms . he would not avoid me . i know he has n't wanted to talk to you , lately . you know , when you get that look in your eye , you really scare me . can you just tell me what 's going on ? michael : fenmore is using again . victoria : [ sighs ] billy sent out a text to jack and traci and me . he 's not on a business trip , after all . nick : okay . where is he ? victoria : he said that he felt that he was on the verge of gambling , so he went back to rehab . nick : [ sighs ] sorry . are you okay ? victoria : no . i 'm not okay . i - i do n't believe this . i mean , i know that billy has been struggling with some things lately , but gambling ? no , the thought never even crossed my mind . nick : all right , well , what can i do ? i mean , name it and i 'll do it . i owe you , vick , the way you and billy stepped up for me when i lost custody -- victoria : that 's what family does for each other , nick . you do n't owe me for anything . nick : what do you think pushed him to this point ? victoria : billy told me that he was going on a business trip to california , but then , when i found out from jack that that was n't true , i just assumed that maybe his disappearing act had something to do with adam . nick : well , maybe it does . i mean , `` spider `` was a professional gambler . victoria : do you think that billy would go to vegas to try to dig up dirt on adam 's past and then get caught up in some underground poker scene ? nick : stranger things have happened . victoria : i suppose so . i - i do n't know . i mean , a couple of months ago , at our commitment ceremony , i just felt so close to billy . i felt like i could trust him again , and -- and that ... [ sighs ] i do n't know . i started to believe that we would have this future that we always talked about . but now he 's lying to me , he 's hiding things . he sends me this devastating message by text . i just -- i do n't understand . what 's happening to him , nick ? traci : oh ! please tell me that you 've talked to billy . i 've called and called , and he wo n't pick up . jack : i wish i 'd searched harder for him when victoria first told me that he 'd left town . traci : oh , come on , jack . what else could you have done ? i mean , you 've been so busy at jabot with the merger -- jack : ashley could have handled that . my brother 's more important to me than any damn business deal . traci : [ sighs ] my heart just breaks for him . at least he figured out that he needed some help . i guess there 's some comfort in that . but you downplaying work -- is there something more going on with you ? are you having second thoughts about partnering with ashley ? jack : no , not at all . no , it 's the best thing for the company , best thing for the family . it 's just a crisis like this makes your rearrange your priorities rather quickly . kevin : what do you say we get this party started , huh ? chloe : okay ! esther : okay ! chloe : come on . esther : well , i sweetened the tea with a little lemonade . kevin : oh ! what an incredible idea . can i get that recipe ? bella : it 's not hard , daddy . esther : if i could open it . i can open it . kevin : here , you take this . esther : here , i got it . chloe : [ laughing ] kevin : you sure ? esther : yeah . kevin : did you say it 's not hard ? well ... chloe : it really is n't that hard . but what about these cookies ? oh , my gosh ! did you do the icing ? and this plate is absolutely gorgeous . i bet you picked it out . kevin : mmm ! well , she 's got her mom 's flair for decorating . of course she did . chloe : well , whatever bella puts her mind to turns out fabulous . esther : [ sighs ] i ca n't tell you what it means to be together like this . it 's just a dream come true for me . chloe : i 'm so sorry , what i put you through , mom . esther : it 's all forgotten , honey . heh . kevin : mmm ! this is really great . esther : thank you . kevin : lemonade , you say , in the iced tea ? esther : right . jack : [ sighs ] traci : i think i should call victoria . i 'm sure this is very difficult . jack : maybe he wo n't be gone that long . the last time he checked himself in , he was back sooner than expected . he finished his program as an outpatient . traci : [ sighs ] jack ... this time , i think he has a little bit more to deal with . having adam back , it 's dredged up all the pain over losing delia . when that kind of grief is triggered , i think it sends you into a spiral . i think we should plan on him being gone for a while . jack : not gon na be easy for his kids . but then , you and i know what that 's like . not that there 's any similarity between what dina did and billy 's situation . he 's just getting much - needed help . and , frankly , to do that , he 'd have to be pretty desperate . traci : [ sighs ] jack ... [ clears throat ] our mother , in her own way , was desperate , too . jack : yeah , desperate for more fun and excitement . traci : no , no . she was unhappy for a long time . jack : i ca n't for the life of me figure out why . traci : [ sighs ] well , maybe she could n't figure it out , either . she had everything a woman of that era could want -- this beautiful home , a handsome husband , three healthy children who adored her . jack : and yet that was n't enough . traci : no . for a woman like dina , with that outsized intellect and drive , it was n't enough . victoria : turns out that that 's not the only secret that billy has been keeping . chloe just told me that he 's known for weeks about her being alive . nick : you 're kidding . victoria : i guess he was probably worried about her being caught , but i 'm sure that must have added to his -- his stress . [ sighs ] and he never said a word to me , nicholas . kevin knew more about what he was dealing with than i did . it hurts . nick : do you think it 's a possibility that billy was just trying not to burden you ? victoria : he 's my partner . i - i 'm his partner . i want him to burden me . i just ... there is absolutely nothing billy could have told me that would make me feel worse than i do right now , which is disconnected from the man that i love . and , honestly , i do n't even know if he 's in rehab . i mean , maybe that 's just a cover story . nick : well , do you have a plan to find out ? chloe : well , you did n't run away , so i 'll take that as a good omen . if you want to talk , i am here to listen . or if you want to chew me out again ... chelsea : she 's beautiful . chloe : thank you . chelsea : s - so , what 's your plan ? are you staying in genoa city ? chloe : it feels right . and my mom is really excited to have us back . chelsea : connor and i are staying , too . chloe : look ... i 'll make it a point to keep my distance if that 's what you want . chelsea : i men , we 're bound to keep running into each other . i do n't expect you to avoid going out in public altogether . chloe : [ sighs ] well , how do you expect us to navigate that ? chelsea : i 'm trying to figure that out . i do n't want to be a hypocrite , so i ca n't be mad at you for hitting me over the head and fleeing town , since that 's what i did to sharon . chloe : wait , what ? chelsea : it 's a long story . chloe : no , i think i 'd like to hear it . chelsea : i do n't really feel like getting into the details , so ... chloe : yeah . uh , yeah . of course . sorry . n -- what - whatever you want . chelsea : suffice it to say i 've made a lot of mistakes in my life . i 've done some really , really bad things . and i was n't grieving for my child . chloe : losing delia does n't excuse what i did to you . chelsea : but there were mitigating circumstances . i understand ... why you wanted adam dead . chloe : i did n't need to act on my feelings . and i was selfish , and i let my rage consume me , and i did n't think about you or connor , and i do n't deserve your forgiveness . chelsea : no , you don't . but i did n't deserve to lose my friend , either . and i 'd like her back . chloe : really ? chelsea : we 're both very flawed women trying to start over . it might be easier if we do it together . chloe : [ exhales shakily ] chelsea : [ sighs ] do not make me regret this , chloe . chloe : i won't . [ chuckles ] lauren : [ huffs ] he 's not picking up . michael : it 's just as well . you should n't talk to fenmore in your current state of mind . we need to get you on a plane . lauren : no , what i need to do is , i need to talk to our son , because maybe he 's not using . maybe this is just some horrible rumor . michael : [ inhales deeply ] there are photos . lauren : photos ? how ? i mean , who would do that ? michael : one of fenmore 's new friends . who evidently sold the photos to adam , who made a point of showing them to me . lauren : adam knows ? there 's just no easy answers ... jack : what you just said sparked quite a memory for me . traci : really ? tell me . jack : [ sighs ] john : we just got back from a vacation . dina : that was three months ago -- in a cabin . john : and the kids , they loved it . dina : the alcorns went to acapulco . brigitte bardot was staying in the same hotel . can you even imagine ? glancing across the poolside café at breakfast , and there 's a famous movie star just sipping her morning coffee . john : so that 's why you were hanging on alcorn 's every word last night at the club ? i was wondering . [ scoffs ] so was mrs . alcorn . dina : you always think that i 'm flirting . john : i ca n't get away from work now , and the kids are at school . why do n't you hire that decorator everyone 's talking about ? you might like it better here if you start making some changes -- dina : it 's not the house ! john : well , i know that it 's not the kids ! 'cause they try so hard to please you . so that -- it just leaves me . dina : no , john . you have n't done anything wrong . john : so then what is it , dina ? [ sighs ] [ sighs ] please . what 's missing ? what do i have to give you that 'll make you happy ? dina : [ sobs ] jack : i was in the dining room , frozen , a half - eaten apple in my hand . and they had no idea i was there . traci : but you heard every single word . jack : i 've gone over that scenario thousands of times in my mind . and never once have i been able to imagine what mother 's response would have been . traci : uh ... `` i think i 'd like to start my own company , dear , and travel the world . `` can you imagine how bizarre that would have sounded to daddy ? or anyone else from that era ? jack : her life was n't here . it was out there somewhere , and she had to find it . lauren : are you telling me that adam is going to exploit this ? that he 's gon na use our son 's addiction as blackmail material ? michael : listen to me . listen to me . whatever adam has in mind , it 's not gon na work , because you 're gon na find our son right now , and you 're gon na get him into treatment immediately , and you 're gon na make him understand that there is no other option . lauren : oh , i will go . i will go and i will take care of our son . but when i get back -- michael : i get it ! i get it . you have every right to be furious . it was arrogant of me to think that i could take adam on on my own . lauren : yes , it was . and when i get back , we are gon na take down that son of a bitch together . he is gon na be so sorry he messed with the two of us . chloe : chelsea , this is bella . bella , this is mommy 's good friend chelsea . and i do n't think you remember her , 'cause it 's been a while . chelsea : it 's so nice to see you again , bella . esther : chelsea , why do n't you join us ? kevin : we are having a picnic / tea party in honor of labor day . chelsea : yeah , 'cause why the heck not ? chelsea : well , that sounds like fun . chloe : [ chuckles ] esther : how about some iced tea ? chelsea : oh , thanks , esther . bella : care for a cookie ? chelsea : oh ! [ laughs ] kevin : you better take her up on that . she does n't offer those to just anybody . chelsea : oh , sure ! thank you . thanks , bella . hey , are you starting school this week ? bella : kindergarten ! chelsea : that is so neat . you know , i have a little boy who is just a little bit older than you , and he loved kindergarten . you 're gon na have so much fun . esther : you know what , bella , grandma would like another cookie , too . kevin : slow your roll , grandma . papa wants another one , too . chloe : [ laughs ] esther : aw , i 'm so glad you like these . chloe : you know , they made these . chelsea : no ! chloe : yes ! esther : yeah , we did ! kevin : they 're so good . chloe : bella did the icing . billy : [ gasps ] aah ! [ breathing heavily ] where the hell am i ? | the news ran a story about chloe faking her death . while talking to chelsea , nick expressed empathy for chloe , because he knew what it was like to lash out after the loss of a daughter . he urged chelsea to think about whether her friendship with chloe was worth salvaging . chloe and kevin went out , believing that they 'd given billy enough sedatives to keep him asleep while they were gone . chloe eased kevin 's fears that she 'd have a mental relapse if she helped billy . victoria learned that billy had known for a few weeks that chloe was alive and that adam was tormenting her and kevin . she realized his nightmares began around the time of chloe 's first return . victoria was n't angry with chloe , but she was mad at kevin for not telling her what billy had been dealing with . kevin regretted not telling victoria that billy was in a bad place . kevin and chloe decided to buy time for chloe to help billy by sending victoria and the abbots a text from billy 's phone saying that he 'd checked back into rehab for gambling . michael tried to sever his relationship with adam now that adam did n't have anything to hold over kevin and chloe 's heads . adam produced a picture of fen using and dealing drugs and used it as leverage over michael . jack and lauren talked about his charity 's drug treatment plan for musicians . michael confided in lauren that fen was in trouble , and they arranged for her to go get their son into rehab before adam could turn him in to the police . lauren said that when she got home , she and michael were going to take adam down together . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] kevin : i do n't get why you would take such a risk . not just with your new job , but you 're taking on adam . michael : i told him what would happen if he messed with my brother . billy : quick trip to cali , and i 'll be back before you miss me . [ engine revving ] chloe : are you sure we should n't take him to the hospital ? kevin : we can't . he tried to kill adam , and crashed whoever 's car that was . chelsea : chloe ? ! you 're al - alive ? how ? kevin : well , it 's -- it 's complicated . chelsea : i thought you were my best friend . i thought that i could trust you more than anyone in the entire world . you pretended to help me grieve over adam . meanwhile , you knew the whole time that you were responsible for my pain ! chelsea : morning . nick : morning . 11 : 54 . just under the wire . chelsea : [ hisses ] i know . sorry . i - i did n't mean to sleep so late . nick : no , do n't apologize . you 've been putting in some serious hours getting ready for your event , and , uh , the boys have been doing an amazing job entertaining themselves . chelsea : ah , then what 's been occupying your time ? nick : uh , just catching up on the news . prepare yourself . it seems adam is not the only one who 's cheated death recently . chelsea : it hit the news already . that did n't take long . nick : you knew about this ? chelsea : i bumped into chloe and kevin at the coffeehouse yesterday . nick : [ scoffs ] how is this not something that would come up ? chelsea : i think i was just still in shock . i mean , it 's so surreal . part of me still ca n't believe it . nick : well , you were n't hallucinating . other people have seen her , too . chelsea : that 's actually the reason i overslept . i was up all night , tossing and turning , staring up at the ceiling , re - living everything chloe put connor and me through . that woman completely derailed our lives . chloe : will you stop looking around ? you are giving me the willies . kevin : if anyone recognizes you , then -- chloe : it was your idea . you said that we needed to be out in public . kevin : does n't mean i want to see you get attacked again . chloe : okay , chelsea had every right to hand it to me . besides , the whole point is to be out , acting natural , and not freaked out that we kidnapped billy and stashed him in a boathouse and drugged him into a stupor . kevin : he 's just catching up on his sleep . we 're doing him a favor . he 'll heal better from the accident , too . chloe : okay , are you sure that he 's not gon na wake up while we 're gone ? kevin : how many more times are you gon na ask me that ? chloe : [ kicks ] kevin : ow ! ha ! chloe : do i need to repeat the question ? kevin : the sedative i gave him is going to keep him knocked out for hours , which will give us time to figure out what the hell to do next . chloe : [ sighs ] kevin : first order of business -- we need to come up with a cover story the abbotts will buy . chloe : great . the abbotts and victoria -- all very smart , savvy people . how long is one text going to keep them from contacting the police ? kevin : it depends on the text . they 're gon na think it 's from billy , since we grabbed his phone , so that 's gon na buy us some time . chloe : [ groans ] i do n't know . [ sighs ] kevin : come on ! help me . we have one shot at this , and `` i ran off and joined the circus `` ai n't gon na cut it . chloe : fine . um ... [ kevin sighs ] how about `` i ran away to rehab `` ? i mean ... they might buy that . it 's not perfect , because he has n't been gambling lately -- kevin : it 's brilliant . totally . i say jack , traci , victoria . keep things simple . chloe : [ sighing ] okay . victoria : chloe ? um ... i heard the news , but ... still , seeing you like this , it 's -- it 's so mind - blowing . [ doorbell rings ] michael : oh . you wanted to see me ? adam : do you care to explain this ? michael : ah ! love to . uh , well , while you were fantasizing about all the hoops that you 'd make me jump through as district attorney , i was using my new position to see that justice was done . adam : chloe is only facing charges of arson and destruction of property . not for any of the multiple attempts trying to kill me . that sounds more like a perversion of justice to me . michael : mm . well , to bring further charges , i 'd need proof beyond a reasonable doubt . no jury will believe that you were inside the cabin chloe blew up . i mean , there 's just -- there 's not a scratch on you . adam : aside from the bullet wound she put in my stomach . michael : oh , well [ scoffs ] i mean , you arranged for some poor schmo from vegas to take the fall for that . oh , unless you want your lie to come out into the open , because you 'd be facing some serious charges yourself in that event . adam : that 's very clever , counselor . michael : just doing my job . you did n't think it through when you suggested i run for district attorney , but i did . that knife you were holding at my throat , i knew , with the power of this office , i could change it into ... a feather . and luckily for me , i 'm not in the least bit ticklish . additional sponsorship nick : look , i get why you 're upset . i will never forget , uh , how it felt to find chloe 's body . it was gruesome and tragic and something that nobody should ever have to experience . and then , you know , having to deal with the guilt that maybe our determination to find her was too much for her to handle , and that drove her to commit suicide . at least -- at least , we thought . chelsea : yeah , and i 'm -- i 'm grateful it was n't true . i 'd hate to think of bella growing up without her mother this whole time . but my son grew up without his father because of what chloe did . not to mention , what kind of person , after believing they murdered somebody , goes back to the grieving widow and pretends to be her best friend ? ! it 's sick ! nick : [ sighs ] no one could blame chloe for wanting adam dead . chelsea : you feel sorry for her , do n't you ? i can hear it in your voice . nick : it 's just -- it 's hard for me to judge her . chelsea : [ sighs ] because of cassie . nick : yeah . when she died , the rage i felt drove me to do some pretty rotten things to people . you know , i lost my only daughter , just like chloe did . the grief was overwhelming . now , that does n't excuse some of the things she 's done , like completely upend your life . but maybe that was a reaction to having her whole world blown to smithereens by adam . this whole chain of events started with him . michael : so , have i answered all your questions pertaining to chloe ? 'cause i have a big day ahead of me serving the faithful voters of walworth county . they 're the only masters i answer to now . adam : mm . is that what you think , michael ? michael : as much as i 've enjoyed our working relationship , which is to say , not at all , i think it 's time it came to an end . since kevin and chloe have nothing to fear from you any longer , that means neither do i . adam : well , i would n't be so sure about that . i 've been expecting this from you for some time . michael : really ? adam : mm - hmm . michael : or is this just some attempt to maintain your reputation for being all - powerful , omniscient , blah , blah , blah ? adam : [ sighs ] it is totally corrupt to use the powers of your office to shield a family member from prosecution . but i do find it reassuring that you are willing to bend the rules when necessary . situational ethics is a positive trait in any secret ally . michael : maybe i did n't make myself clear to you -- you no longer have any hold over me , adam . and do n't bother making any empty threats about exposing whatever sleazy tactics you used to rig the election on my behalf . because we both know , you 'd be in more hot water for that than i would . adam : all right . no more empty threats . michael : mm - hmm . adam : tell me , michael , how is your son doing these days ? victoria : so , um , where were you living ? kevin : portland . victoria : so that part of the cover story was true . were -- were you together the whole time ? chloe : pretty much . victoria : oh . how is it that you managed to stay hidden for so long ? and -- and why did you decide that now was the time to come back to genoa city ? chloe : wow . that 's a lot of questions . victoria : i 'm sorry . i am . i - i do n't mean to pry . it 's just that -- kevin : well , you know , it 's , uh , not every day somebody comes back from the dead . chloe : no , just every other day . [ both chuckle ] kevin : and , well , with regard to the timing , uh , it was getting harder and harder to keep things quiet . you know , bella 's getting older , asking more questions . like why could n't chloe come with us any time we came to town to visit her grandmother ? stuff like that . victoria : e - esther did n't know ? chloe : i know how awful that sounds . and it was . but the plan was crazy and risky , and we just did n't want to drag my mom down with us if the plan went south . kevin : especially since we needed esther to raise bella if the two of us ended up in prison . victoria : i hope that esther did n't find out from that tabloid story . chloe : no , i came home a month ago . i told her then . victoria : oh . which explains why you were here around the same time . kevin : yeah , i guess so . victoria : you mentioned that you ran into billy on that visit . you know , that 's funny . that 's right around the time that he was having nightmares , and he started having insomnia . did you see billy on that trip , too ? does he know that you 're alive ? chelsea : i do n't understand what 's happening right now . you were the one who was so determined to prove that chloe was the one that blew up the cabin , and now you just -- you -- you just forgive her ? nick : i 've almost lost it a few times since adam 's come back , so it 's easier for me to sympathize with chloe . chelsea : no . okay ? you punched adam . that is not even in the same realm as what chloe did . nick : i know . and how you choose to handle this going forward is completely up to you . chelsea : what are you talking about ? what makes you think i would want anything to do with that woman ever again ? nick : how worked up you are . chelsea : [ sighs ] you know , she -- she said how sorry she was , and she ... said she 's back to her old self , and that she and adam could coexist , and that she just wants to move on with her life . nick : you believe her ? chelsea : [ scoffs ] does it matter ? all i keep thinking about is just how different everything would be -- for me . for my son . for all of the newmans . for everybody -- if that cabin did n't explode . if adam did n't lose three years of his life , and come back here just desperate to claw back everything that was taken from him . nick : adam made his own choices . he was an entitled , manipulative jerk long before he met chloe . chelsea : it does n't let her off the hook , nick . nick : well , she 's got enough on her conscience . and she does n't need you to pile on adam 's crimes . and , look , this whole thing is not about chloe for me . it 's about you . you two were pretty tight . friendships like that are hard to come by . chelsea : i know . nick : so you got to ask yourself , do you want to get back what you had , or are you beyond caring ? you 're just ready to move on . if that 's the case , you do n't owe chloe mitchell a damn thing . but if you can get past this resentment , find a way to forgive , that 's a different story . and it might be worth a shot . but only you can answer that question . michael : did you just make the mistake of threatening my son ? adam : oh , no , not at all . i was merely asking if you 'd heard from him lately . michael : i 'm going to say that 's none of your business . adam : [ inhales deeply ] so that 's a no . you know , it makes sense . 'cause he 's on tour , hanging out with his buddies , having a good old time . well , hopefully not too good a time , given his history . michael : what are you implying ? just -- just spit it out . adam : that 's fen , is n't it ? partying . and apparently dealing . yep . that is definitely cash in his hand . i know the photo quality 's not great . and i know what a stickler you are for `` proof beyond a reasonable doubt . `` michael : you bastard ! adam : ah , ah , ah . no need to get riled . according to my source , he 's not in deep . just makes sure everybody has a good time on tour . [ sighs ] got to say , though , it 's a big risk with a drug history like that . [ sighs ] i believe that photo was taken in atlanta . or maybe it was -- maybe it was tulsa . did you know the average sentence for drug trafficking in oklahoma is eight years in a state penitentiary ? michael : what do you want from me ? adam : nothing at the moment . i just want you to be aware that that little bit of time that the knife was n't at your throat , it 's only because i was sharpening it . great news ! chloe : please do n't be mad at billy . i begged him to keep it secret . victoria : i just assumed that you were worried about adam finding out and coming after you . chloe : he did find out . he was blackmailing kevin and me , threatening to turn me in to the police if kevin did n't follow his orders . victoria : billy knew about that ? oh , my god . no wonder he was so livid at adam . and the thought of you being tormented , it must have made him feel so powerless . chloe : i did n't mean to make him upset . kevin : whoa , whoa . do n't feel guilty for something adam did . victoria : you should feel guilty , kevin . the other day , you asked me how billy was doing when you knew better than i did what he 's dealing with . kevin : before i left , billy said he was gon na get help , see a therapist . i - i thought he would be okay . victoria : you are not qualified to make that call . kevin : i was focused on protecting chloe . victoria : at billy 's expense . kevin : [ sighs ] i realize that now . and -- and when i saw him again , and saw that he was worse , i - i was concerned . victoria : and yet you did n't reach out to me . [ sighs ] i really wish that you would have cared enough about billy 's well- being to be honest with me . chloe : i am really sorry that all of this happened . i wish i had never gotten billy into this whole mess . victoria : i do n't blame you for reaching out . you needed help . and -- i 'm just worried about billy , okay ? kevin : i think this business trip he 's on is the best thing for him . it 's time away from adam . time to just chill out . say , once he 's back , why do n't we all get together and just talk this through . when is he coming home ? victoria : uh , he was n't sure when he was coming back . chloe : well , you just keep us in the loop , okay ? victoria : i will . i will . thank you very much for your candor . i appreciate it . we 'll talk soon . chloe , it was nice to see you . kevin : [ sighs ] i feel like a complete heel . victoria 's right . if i had just told her what was going on with billy , she could have stopped him from unraveling and -- and trying to kill adam . chloe : yeah . and we just lied to her again . we are total jerks . kevin : maybe we should tell her what he did . she loves him far too much to turn him in . chloe : no , that would mean making her our accomplice . if adam and the cops find out what billy did , i do n't want her to be on the hook for it . kevin : me neither , but we do n't have any good options here . chloe : well , if i can get billy 's head on straight , i think that will make up for all of it . kevin : chloe , i am concerned that you working with billy is going to bring out ... your murderous rage . chloe : when i saw billy driving that car , the only thing i could think about was saving adam . kevin : for billy 's sake . chloe : and connor 's . i do n't want that little boy to grow up without a father . i keep thinking about all of the people that love adam . and that 's how i know that i 've truly changed . kevin : okay . you 've convinced me . i will make sure you have all the time you need to get through to billy . chloe : thank you . kevin : let 's send that text . chloe : okay . [ sighs ] kevin : okay . jack : there are other addiction - treatment programs out there . very few of them are evidence - based , and fewer still are designed specifically for performing artists and musicians . lauren : all right , you do n't have to go any further . i 've definitely heard enough . jack : then you 'll increase your quarterly contribution ? lauren : how does another 5 % sound ? jack : it is music to my ears . thank you . lauren : it 's a cause i am very happy to support . it 's close to my heart . [ cellphone chimes ] jack : on account of fen . [ sighs ] lauren : is everything okay ? jack : [ sighs ] the timing of this . we were just talking about addiction- treatment facilities . this is a text from billy saying he 's checked himself into rehab for his gambling again . lauren : oh , i 'm so sorry . jack : you know what ? he -- he sent this to traci , too . i - i got to get home and talk to her about this . lauren : yeah , of course . go , go . and if there 's anything that i can do ... jack : thank you very much . thank you . lauren : of course . michael : hello , jack . jack : hey , michael . i - i got a family emergency i got to deal with . i 'll see you later . lauren : he 's worried about billy . he relapsed with gambling . addiction is such a cruel disease . michael : i need to talk to you . lauren : oh . is it about chloe ? is there a legal hang - up in her case ? michael : no , it 's , uh -- it 's a bit closer to home , i 'm afraid . it 's fenmore . i 've always been excited for what 's next . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . michael : have you talked to fenmore lately ? do you know where he is now ? lauren : i - i 'm not sure . maybe cleveland . why ? michael : call lp . find out his touring schedule . uh , say you want to send him a care package , whatever . just do n't say you 're arranging a visit . lauren : are we ? michael : you are . lauren : uh , wait a minute . what -- what 's going on ? i do n't understand . why ca n't i tell fen that i 'm coming ? michael : if our son knows you 're on your way , i think he 'll find a reason not to be there . lauren : no , fen and i are on good terms . he would not avoid me . i know he has n't wanted to talk to you , lately . you know , when you get that look in your eye , you really scare me . can you just tell me what 's going on ? michael : fenmore is using again . victoria : [ sighs ] billy sent out a text to jack and traci and me . he 's not on a business trip , after all . nick : okay . where is he ? victoria : he said that he felt that he was on the verge of gambling , so he went back to rehab . nick : [ sighs ] sorry . are you okay ? victoria : no . i 'm not okay . i - i do n't believe this . i mean , i know that billy has been struggling with some things lately , but gambling ? no , the thought never even crossed my mind . nick : all right , well , what can i do ? i mean , name it and i 'll do it . i owe you , vick , the way you and billy stepped up for me when i lost custody -- victoria : that 's what family does for each other , nick . you do n't owe me for anything . nick : what do you think pushed him to this point ? victoria : billy told me that he was going on a business trip to california , but then , when i found out from jack that that was n't true , i just assumed that maybe his disappearing act had something to do with adam . nick : well , maybe it does . i mean , `` spider `` was a professional gambler . victoria : do you think that billy would go to vegas to try to dig up dirt on adam 's past and then get caught up in some underground poker scene ? nick : stranger things have happened . victoria : i suppose so . i - i do n't know . i mean , a couple of months ago , at our commitment ceremony , i just felt so close to billy . i felt like i could trust him again , and -- and that ... [ sighs ] i do n't know . i started to believe that we would have this future that we always talked about . but now he 's lying to me , he 's hiding things . he sends me this devastating message by text . i just -- i do n't understand . what 's happening to him , nick ? traci : oh ! please tell me that you 've talked to billy . i 've called and called , and he wo n't pick up . jack : i wish i 'd searched harder for him when victoria first told me that he 'd left town . traci : oh , come on , jack . what else could you have done ? i mean , you 've been so busy at jabot with the merger -- jack : ashley could have handled that . my brother 's more important to me than any damn business deal . traci : [ sighs ] my heart just breaks for him . at least he figured out that he needed some help . i guess there 's some comfort in that . but you downplaying work -- is there something more going on with you ? are you having second thoughts about partnering with ashley ? jack : no , not at all . no , it 's the best thing for the company , best thing for the family . it 's just a crisis like this makes your rearrange your priorities rather quickly . kevin : what do you say we get this party started , huh ? chloe : okay ! esther : okay ! chloe : come on . esther : well , i sweetened the tea with a little lemonade . kevin : oh ! what an incredible idea . can i get that recipe ? bella : it 's not hard , daddy . esther : if i could open it . i can open it . kevin : here , you take this . esther : here , i got it . chloe : [ laughing ] kevin : you sure ? esther : yeah . kevin : did you say it 's not hard ? well ... chloe : it really is n't that hard . but what about these cookies ? oh , my gosh ! did you do the icing ? and this plate is absolutely gorgeous . i bet you picked it out . kevin : mmm ! well , she 's got her mom 's flair for decorating . of course she did . chloe : well , whatever bella puts her mind to turns out fabulous . esther : [ sighs ] i ca n't tell you what it means to be together like this . it 's just a dream come true for me . chloe : i 'm so sorry , what i put you through , mom . esther : it 's all forgotten , honey . heh . kevin : mmm ! this is really great . esther : thank you . kevin : lemonade , you say , in the iced tea ? esther : right . jack : [ sighs ] traci : i think i should call victoria . i 'm sure this is very difficult . jack : maybe he wo n't be gone that long . the last time he checked himself in , he was back sooner than expected . he finished his program as an outpatient . traci : [ sighs ] jack ... this time , i think he has a little bit more to deal with . having adam back , it 's dredged up all the pain over losing delia . when that kind of grief is triggered , i think it sends you into a spiral . i think we should plan on him being gone for a while . jack : not gon na be easy for his kids . but then , you and i know what that 's like . not that there 's any similarity between what dina did and billy 's situation . he 's just getting much - needed help . and , frankly , to do that , he 'd have to be pretty desperate . traci : [ sighs ] jack ... [ clears throat ] our mother , in her own way , was desperate , too . jack : yeah , desperate for more fun and excitement . traci : no , no . she was unhappy for a long time . jack : i ca n't for the life of me figure out why . traci : [ sighs ] well , maybe she could n't figure it out , either . she had everything a woman of that era could want -- this beautiful home , a handsome husband , three healthy children who adored her . jack : and yet that was n't enough . traci : no . for a woman like dina , with that outsized intellect and drive , it was n't enough . victoria : turns out that that 's not the only secret that billy has been keeping . chloe just told me that he 's known for weeks about her being alive . nick : you 're kidding . victoria : i guess he was probably worried about her being caught , but i 'm sure that must have added to his -- his stress . [ sighs ] and he never said a word to me , nicholas . kevin knew more about what he was dealing with than i did . it hurts . nick : do you think it 's a possibility that billy was just trying not to burden you ? victoria : he 's my partner . i - i 'm his partner . i want him to burden me . i just ... there is absolutely nothing billy could have told me that would make me feel worse than i do right now , which is disconnected from the man that i love . and , honestly , i do n't even know if he 's in rehab . i mean , maybe that 's just a cover story . nick : well , do you have a plan to find out ? chloe : well , you did n't run away , so i 'll take that as a good omen . if you want to talk , i am here to listen . or if you want to chew me out again ... chelsea : she 's beautiful . chloe : thank you . chelsea : s - so , what 's your plan ? are you staying in genoa city ? chloe : it feels right . and my mom is really excited to have us back . chelsea : connor and i are staying , too . chloe : look ... i 'll make it a point to keep my distance if that 's what you want . chelsea : i men , we 're bound to keep running into each other . i do n't expect you to avoid going out in public altogether . chloe : [ sighs ] well , how do you expect us to navigate that ? chelsea : i 'm trying to figure that out . i do n't want to be a hypocrite , so i ca n't be mad at you for hitting me over the head and fleeing town , since that 's what i did to sharon . chloe : wait , what ? chelsea : it 's a long story . chloe : no , i think i 'd like to hear it . chelsea : i do n't really feel like getting into the details , so ... chloe : yeah . uh , yeah . of course . sorry . n -- what - whatever you want . chelsea : suffice it to say i 've made a lot of mistakes in my life . i 've done some really , really bad things . and i was n't grieving for my child . chloe : losing delia does n't excuse what i did to you . chelsea : but there were mitigating circumstances . i understand ... why you wanted adam dead . chloe : i did n't need to act on my feelings . and i was selfish , and i let my rage consume me , and i did n't think about you or connor , and i do n't deserve your forgiveness . chelsea : no , you don't . but i did n't deserve to lose my friend , either . and i 'd like her back . chloe : really ? chelsea : we 're both very flawed women trying to start over . it might be easier if we do it together . chloe : [ exhales shakily ] chelsea : [ sighs ] do not make me regret this , chloe . chloe : i won't . [ chuckles ] lauren : [ huffs ] he 's not picking up . michael : it 's just as well . you should n't talk to fenmore in your current state of mind . we need to get you on a plane . lauren : no , what i need to do is , i need to talk to our son , because maybe he 's not using . maybe this is just some horrible rumor . michael : [ inhales deeply ] there are photos . lauren : photos ? how ? i mean , who would do that ? michael : one of fenmore 's new friends . who evidently sold the photos to adam , who made a point of showing them to me . lauren : adam knows ? there 's just no easy answers ... jack : what you just said sparked quite a memory for me . traci : really ? tell me . jack : [ sighs ] john : we just got back from a vacation . dina : that was three months ago -- in a cabin . john : and the kids , they loved it . dina : the alcorns went to acapulco . brigitte bardot was staying in the same hotel . can you even imagine ? glancing across the poolside café at breakfast , and there 's a famous movie star just sipping her morning coffee . john : so that 's why you were hanging on alcorn 's every word last night at the club ? i was wondering . [ scoffs ] so was mrs . alcorn . dina : you always think that i 'm flirting . john : i ca n't get away from work now , and the kids are at school . why do n't you hire that decorator everyone 's talking about ? you might like it better here if you start making some changes -- dina : it 's not the house ! john : well , i know that it 's not the kids ! 'cause they try so hard to please you . so that -- it just leaves me . dina : no , john . you have n't done anything wrong . john : so then what is it , dina ? [ sighs ] [ sighs ] please . what 's missing ? what do i have to give you that 'll make you happy ? dina : [ sobs ] jack : i was in the dining room , frozen , a half - eaten apple in my hand . and they had no idea i was there . traci : but you heard every single word . jack : i 've gone over that scenario thousands of times in my mind . and never once have i been able to imagine what mother 's response would have been . traci : uh ... `` i think i 'd like to start my own company , dear , and travel the world . `` can you imagine how bizarre that would have sounded to daddy ? or anyone else from that era ? jack : her life was n't here . it was out there somewhere , and she had to find it . lauren : are you telling me that adam is going to exploit this ? that he 's gon na use our son 's addiction as blackmail material ? michael : listen to me . listen to me . whatever adam has in mind , it 's not gon na work , because you 're gon na find our son right now , and you 're gon na get him into treatment immediately , and you 're gon na make him understand that there is no other option . lauren : oh , i will go . i will go and i will take care of our son . but when i get back -- michael : i get it ! i get it . you have every right to be furious . it was arrogant of me to think that i could take adam on on my own . lauren : yes , it was . and when i get back , we are gon na take down that son of a bitch together . he is gon na be so sorry he messed with the two of us . chloe : chelsea , this is bella . bella , this is mommy 's good friend chelsea . and i do n't think you remember her , 'cause it 's been a while . chelsea : it 's so nice to see you again , bella . esther : chelsea , why do n't you join us ? kevin : we are having a picnic / tea party in honor of labor day . chelsea : yeah , 'cause why the heck not ? chelsea : well , that sounds like fun . chloe : [ chuckles ] esther : how about some iced tea ? chelsea : oh , thanks , esther . bella : care for a cookie ? chelsea : oh ! [ laughs ] kevin : you better take her up on that . she does n't offer those to just anybody . chelsea : oh , sure ! thank you . thanks , bella . hey , are you starting school this week ? bella : kindergarten ! chelsea : that is so neat . you know , i have a little boy who is just a little bit older than you , and he loved kindergarten . you 're gon na have so much fun . esther : you know what , bella , grandma would like another cookie , too . kevin : slow your roll , grandma . papa wants another one , too . chloe : [ laughs ] esther : aw , i 'm so glad you like these . chloe : you know , they made these . chelsea : no ! chloe : yes ! esther : yeah , we did ! kevin : they 're so good . chloe : bella did the icing . billy : [ gasps ] aah ! [ breathing heavily ] where the hell am i ?Summarize.[/INST]the news ran a story about chloe faking her death . while talking to chelsea , nick expressed empathy for chloe , because he knew what it was like to lash out after the loss of a daughter . he urged chelsea to think about whether her friendship with chloe was worth salvaging . chloe and kevin went out , believing that they 'd given billy enough sedatives to keep him asleep while they were gone . chloe eased kevin 's fears that she 'd have a mental relapse if she helped billy . victoria learned that billy had known for a few weeks that chloe was alive and that adam was tormenting her and kevin . she realized his nightmares began around the time of chloe 's first return . victoria was n't angry with chloe , but she was mad at kevin for not telling her what billy had been dealing with . kevin regretted not telling victoria that billy was in a bad place . kevin and chloe decided to buy time for chloe to help billy by sending victoria and the abbots a text from billy 's phone saying that he 'd checked back into rehab for gambling . michael tried to sever his relationship with adam now that adam did n't have anything to hold over kevin and chloe 's heads . adam produced a picture of fen using and dealing drugs and used it as leverage over michael . jack and lauren talked about his charity 's drug treatment plan for musicians . michael confided in lauren that fen was in trouble , and they arranged for her to go get their son into rehab before adam could turn him in to the police . lauren said that when she got home , she and michael were going to take adam down together .</s> | 17,975 |

[ scene_break ] nikolas : one minute you agree to keep your distance , the next you swear you 'll never give up on me . which is it ? emily : i ca n't promise to stop loving you , but i 'm trying to give you the room you need , and i truly had no idea that you were going to be here tonight . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : so , let me get this straight . you 're deliberately trying to humiliate dillon , the guy that you swear that you love ? georgie : no , this is not about embarrassing him . brook lynn : well , you could 've fooled me , georgie . georgie : this is about showing him how difficult and stressful it can be being a girl . [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm meeting someone here . lucas : oh . where is he ? dillon : he left . lucas : see ? perfect timing . you 're available , and so am i . dillon : you do n't exactly have a confidence problem , do you ? lucas : well , from the way you dress , you do n't , either . brook lynn : what kind of dog are you ? [ scene_break ] jason : there 's plenty of space for the baby once she starts to crawl . the terraces are all fenced sam : the apartment is great , jason . that is not the -- jason : see , you do n't know a lot about kids . and i 'm not saying you 're not going to learn , but it helps to have someone who 's been there . sam : there is no question that this arrangement would be good for the baby , but what about us ? jason : what do you mean , `` us `` ? sam : us , jason . we are not in love . we 're not a couple . come on , this is just going to be confusing to her . jason : no , it 's good that we 're not in love because the baby 's going to be better off . she 's not going to see us fighting each other or hurting each other without meaning to . sam : is that what happened with you and courtney ? jason : sam , i have a big apartment , ok ? money is not an issue . you have no home . you have a baby that you 're scared to raise alone . i do n't see what the problem is . i think i could help you . but that 's up to you . carly : jason -- oh , are you leaving ? do n't let me stop you . sam : it turns out i 'm not going anywhere . jason and i are going to live together . [ scene_break ] courtney : say i walked out now and went back to jason . what would you do ? jax : i did n't think you 'd go back . courtney : oh , i see . so that offer to care for yourself was completely insincere ? you fully expected me to stay ? jax : no , no , no , i never expect . i just hoped . courtney : jax , this may come as a shock to you , but i do n't find you nearly as adorable as you seem to think . jax : no , no , no , i understand . i understand that for the most part you think i am shallow , vain , and useless . courtney : i 'm glad we got that straight . jax : yes , but the fact remains that you 're enjoying yourself , ok ? you 've gotten used to smiling . you actually look forward to what 's going to happen next instead of dreading it . so this might be hard for you to admit , but your life is actually better with me in it . [ scene_break ] ric : i found sam 's brother . his name is danny . he 's developmentally disabled , and i 'm pretty sure that he witnessed the fire . when i pressed him for specifics , however , he got a little upset , so i backed off . alexis : how uncharacteristically benevolent of you . ric : contrary to your cherished belief , i am not a bully . i figure it 's going to be hard enough for this kid to get on the stand and testify at the trial , so i did n't want to press him twice for it . alexis : do you think you can subpoena him ? ric : as soon as i get the charges filed against sam . the verdict against her was vacated , so there 's no chance of double jeopardy . alexis : i picked up on that in law school . ric : i 'm sure you did . look , danny is the perfect witness . he 'll tell everything that he knows , and then i 'll go to sam and i 'll offer a plea of a lesser charge in exchange for testimony against sonny and jason . alexis : she may turn you down . she appears to be very devoted to sonny . ric : well , then it 'll go to the jury and she 'll be found guilty . in which case , david barron -- the texas convict 's confession will be proved to be a lie . alexis : you still need to establish some sort of link to sonny . ric : well , i have a witness that overheard sonny admit to perjury and obstruction . you . [ scene_break ] sonny : your sister 's right . ric 's still trying to make a case against sam . jason : what , you just came from his office ? sonny : yep . alexis was there , and i tell you right now , she 's working with him . jason : ok , sonny , i talked -- sonny : she was using his phone like it was her office , not his , and she gave me that look of guilty , you know that kind -- guilty and angry at the same time ? she knows i lied . and i can guarantee you right now she 's working with ric to prove it . you 've got to move sam 's brother tonight . because if ric gets a hold -- what 's -- what 's the brother 's name ? jason : danny , danny . sonny : ok . if ric gets a hold of danny , it 's not going to be hard to figure out that he started the fire . which , you know , makes the confession that freed sam a lie , which gives ric everything he needs to charge me with perjury . jason : hey , it 's no problem to move danny . sonny : ok , i 'll explain it to sam -- jason : well , i can do it . she 's here . sonny : well , just give me five minutes to get my head on straight here , and i 'll get her a house -- jason : sonny , that 's what i 've been trying to tell you . she does n't need one . sam and the baby are going to stay with me .

[ scene_break ] jax : you saved my life . courtney : oh , i 'm -- if i had n't shown up , i 'm sure you would 've found some other way to handle faith . jax : oh , so you 're refusing to take responsibility for your actions ? courtney : oh , i get it . what is it , the whole reversal on the folk custom -- what , i saved your life , now i 'm supposed to take care of you forever ? jax : well , naturally , i assumed that 's why you brought me back here , unless it was just an excuse to spend more time with me . hmm ? courtney : look , you got shot by a woman who was running for her life from my brother . i felt -- i felt obligated to help you recover . jax : obligated ? not the slightest hint of attraction ? courtney : nope . jax : no personal interest in wiping my fevered brow ? courtney : you do n't look feverish from here . jax : no , actually , i 'm quite warm . why do n't you feel my forehead ? courtney : no , that 's ok .

[ scene_break ] alexis : anything i heard is protected by attorney - client privilege . ric : well , technically , that only applies with your relationship with sam . alexis : sonny 's paying the bill . ric : yeah , but sam is the only client on record . alexis : if you put me up on that stand , i will deny everything . ric : i see . so you 're going to perjure yourself , is that it ? alexis : i 'll be unable to recall all the details -- ric : huh , in order to protect sonny ? alexis : in order to protect myself . ric : one last show of devotion to sonny ? is that it , alexis ? alexis : i want him to go to prison ! is that what you want to hear ? i want you to win ! i want you to be avenged of your miserable childhood and every slight , real or imagined -- ric : what does that have to -- ? alexis : that ever he heaped upon your blameless , innocent head ! i want to -- i want to see the jury find him guilty so that i can for once stand there and feel vindicated that justice was finally done ! but i will not , under any circumstances , testify for you on that stand ! ric : all right , shh , calm down . just sit down , will you ? alexis : do n't -- ric : just sit down . breathe . relax . alexis : i am not attracted to you , if you think that 's what this is about . ric : will you shut up and breathe ? alexis : i am not -- ric : listen to me . take this . take it . look , i understand . i understand why you do n't want to testify . i understand that . if sonny -- if somehow sonny gets acquitted , then you 're going to be left twisting in the wind . and you ca n't risk that . alexis : no , i ca n't . ric : you mind telling me why ?

[ noise ] whitney : chad . come here , baby . sam : you ca n't go around saying you 're going to kill chad . t.c . : if that punk has the nerve to show his face around here again , i will kill him . t.c . : damn it , sam -- look . alistair : damn it , bruce , start talking . i have other affairs to attend to . bruce : well , as we all know , julian flew down to bermuda to get a quick divorce from ivy . theresa : and i went down there to talk to julian . i felt guilty that the things that i had done -- like scanning ivy 's letter to chief bennett about ethan being their son -- led to ethan losing everything . i wanted to try to make things right by convincing julian to take ethan back into the crane family . rebecca : yes , theresa , you are so selfless , always thinking of others and never yourself . theresa : i was trying to do right by ethan , and julian took advantage of me . gwen : can you and julian really get rid of theresa ? rebecca : si . you wo n't have to worry about theresa being around and coming between you and ethan anymore . no , because when bruce finishes his story , then alistair will know that julian is telling the truth and the taco queen will be dethroned . sheridan : i 'm pregnant ? i 'm really pregnant ? nurse : yes , you are . sheridan : i ca n't believe it . luis : yeah , i ca n't believe it , either . antonio : you and me both , luis . sheridan : i 'm going to have a baby . luis : sheridan , sheridan -- nurse : oh , my god . luis : oh , my god . sheridan ? t.c . : damn it , i was right ! sam : right about what ? t.c . : up there , sam . sam : what are you talking about ? t.c . : the gutter is coming down . sam : yeah ? so ? t.c . : well , it was loose , and then after the last blizzard , it -- i guess it 's gotten worse . now i 'm kicking myself because i did n't fix it sooner . upon everything else , now i got a busted gutter on my hands . sam : t.c . , do n't worry about it , ok ? come on , it 's not the end of the world . i 'll even help you fix it . t.c . : it 's a good thing that chad was n't here because he 'd be worse off than that damn gutter . sam : t.c . -- t.c . : i 'm serious , sam . i mean , after he used whitney and hurt simone , i will kill that bastard if he ever comes around my girls again . whitney : come on , hurry . get down , get down , get down . chad : i love you so much . i love holding you . whitney : i love you , too , chad . i love being in your arms . chad : i almost did n't make it . whitney : i 'm glad daddy did n't see you climbing up that trellis . he would 've killed you , you know ? chad : yeah . i hate going behind your father 's back , but i did n't want to make things worse for you . and with any luck , coach russell 's going to chill out soon . whitney : i do n't see that happening . if anything , daddy 's more upset now than he ever was . he blames you for me not going to my tennis match today even though it was n't your fault , ok ? it was my fault completely . chad : do n't be so hard on yourself . you 're a wonderful person . you 're always putting your happiness on the back burner , trying not to hurt your sister , keep your father 's dream alive . i love you too much to let you give up your life making other folks happy . i want to make sure that you 're happy , that you get whatever you want from now on , because all that matters to me is that you 're happy , whitney . i love you more than i love my own life . alistair : yes , bruce , julian was in bermuda to get a quick divorce from ivy and ran into you . then what happened ? bruce : well , julian told me how ivy had pushed off ethan as his son for decades when sam bennett was really his father . julian was furious . julian : but not at you , ethan . i was angry at your mother for having deceived me . you 're as much of a victim in all this as i am . gwen : if not more . ethan : look , i -- i just want to know how this affects theresa , ok ? alistair : yes , bruce , pick up the pace . i have n't got all day . theresa : alistair is right . if you have something to say , please say it . julian : well , i -- are you sure you want to hear what bruce has to say ? because once the truth comes out , you will be out of this mansion and out of my life forever . claire : i just cut my finger . antonio : sheridan ? luis : sheridan , wake up . nurse : hey , get her to the bed . pilar : careful . nurse : all right . now , the two of you need to back off and let her have some air . can somebody please get her a glass of water ? pilar : oh , i will . sheridan : what happened ? pilar : here you go . nurse : ok . there will be plenty of time for questions later . just sit still and drink this . sheridan : have i been asleep ? because i -- i thought i was dreaming that you said i was pregnant . nurse : no , sheridan , you were n't dreaming . you are pregnant . sheridan : oh , my -- i 'm pregnant ? pilar : yeah . sheridan : i 'm really pregnant ? pilar : yeah . liz : here 's a thought , eve -- why do n't you set up a special hotline number for simone and whitney . that way , the next time that they 're in crisis and they do n't know what to do , they can call you and make an appointment to see you -- although i doubt that they 'll do that , given your past indifference to them . eve : `` indifference `` ? indifference to my daughters ? i am so close to both of them . i love them , and they both know that . liz : well , you have a funny way of showing it , eve . you never spend time with them . you 're never there when they need you . you know , you keep telling me what a wonderful , perfect , loving family you have . well , i do n't see it , eve . all i see is a house of cards that 's falling apart all around you . but do n't you worry , sis . i am going to be here to pick up the pieces and help rebuild your family . i will be the perfect wife and mother that you failed to be . simone : be honest , kay . how do you know everything that happened after i left tabitha 's to go see chad ? kay : um -- actually , when i was coming upstairs to see you , i overheard your mother and father talking , and i think i pretty much got the whole story . simone : disgusting , is n't it ? i am so angry with whitney , i could rip every piece of hair out of her head ! kay : simone , i understand where you 're coming from . but i still feel like you went wrong when you let them know you were on to them . you know , that just made things worse . simone : i could n't take it , kay . thinking whitney was flirting with chad -- that was one thing . but i walked in on them making love . surprise ! whitney : oh , my god . chad : simone . simone : i 'm telling you , if you had n't been there , i would 've plucked every single piece of hair out of her head . and i almost did . you used sex to get him , did n't you ? you bitch ! whitney : no ! chad : stop it . simone : chad was mine , and whitney took him away from me . kay : simone , you were holding out and whitney was putting out . it 's kind of hard to compete with that . simone : you know , i keep hearing that the easiest way to get a man is by having sex with him . but that 's not always true , is it ? you had sex with miguel . you even got pregnant by miguel , and he still wants nothing to do with you . kay : ok . let 's just concentrate on your situation , shall we ? simone : here is my situation , kay -- chad loves whitney . he wants my sister , body and soul , and she wants him . i lost him , kay ! kay : shh -- simone : i lost the man that i love , and i am never going to get him back ! chad : do n't freak out , but i need to talk to your father . i want to work things out , get back on track . whitney : no , no . i do n't think that 's a good idea . he 's still very angry about all this . chad : whitney , look -- i love you and i want to start a life with you , with your parents ' blessing . but the only way we can do that is to clear the air . whitney : trust me -- it 's still too soon , ok ? chad : but your father thinks that i used you and simone to weasel my way into your family , to move on up without working . i ca n't let him think that -- not if i want to be with his daughter for the rest of my life . whitney : i -- i really do get what you 're saying , but my daddy is still on such a very short fuse . he 'd just as soon kill you as look at you . chad : i know . i heard him outside . but if we wait , it 's only going to get worse . whitney : chad , i do n't know . chad : we waited to tell simone about us , and look what happened . whitney : you 're right . um -- ok . let 's go and tell daddy about us right now while chief bennett is still here . he 'll make sure he does n't lose his temper completely . chad : it 'll be all right . i promise . t.c . : i will rip him to pieces if he shows up here again . sam : t.c . , i meant what i said . you ca n't go around talking like that . i am the chief of police . i 'm sworn to take threats seriously . t.c . : sam , that is no threat . that 's the cold , hard truth , ok ? if he shows his face around this house again , i will kill him . [ sniffing ] sam : stop saying you 're going to kill chad . t.c . : sam , i ca n't , all right ? all i can think about is what this punk has done to my family . whitney and simone are at each other 's throats . whitney missed a big match today all because of this mess . and eve and i got into it on the way that i handled things . that boy were here today , i would rip his heart out . sam : t.c . , listen to what you 're saying . you 're a respected member of this community , a teacher , for god sakes ! you ca n't go around threatening to kill someone . t.c . : yeah . eve pretty much told me that last night . sam : eve is a smart woman , all right ? listen to her . t.c . : sam , i know , ok ? i know . i know i need to control my temper , ok ? but this boy has come in between our lives . whitney and simone do n't even speak anymore . they 're not even close anymore . there 's tension between me and eve , and it 's all because of that punk . i 'm telling you , i will rip him apart . sam : listen -- i know where you 're coming from , ok ? i still blame miguel for causing a permanent rift between kay and charity . but you ca n't keep saying you 're going to kill chad . what if something happened to chad ? what if he died under mysterious circumstances ? t.c . : i would say he deserved it . sam : then you 'd be my prime suspect . i 'd have to arrest you , t.c . , my best friend . and what do you think your family would think , huh ? eve and your daughters , having to watch you stand trial for murder . chad : i 'm sure i can make your father see reason . whitney : i do n't know , chad . maybe this is n't such a good idea . alistair : julian , stop threatening to banish theresa and let bruce finish his story . then we 'll see if there 's sufficient evidence to prove you are n't married to little ethan 's mother . julian : yes , father . alistair : the ball 's back in your court , bruce . now , get to the point and be quick about it . bruce : yes , mr. crane . well , besides ragging on ivy for deceiving him about ethan 's paternity , julian also was complaining about the other children she 'd give him , said they were all worthless -- especially his son fox , who julian described as being a deadbeat playboy . fox : thanks , daddy . julian : i stand by my assessment . alistair : i agree with julian . bruce : well , anyway , julian said he just could n't wait to get rid of ivy . julian : my only regret is that i did n't divorce the bitch sooner . bruce : and then he told me and some of my buddies how he just wanted to play the field from now on , never get married again . julian : i 've always been a firm believer in multitasking . bruce : julian went on to brag how beautiful women found him irresistible and just threw themselves at him . rebecca : yes , it 's so true . bruce : and he went on to say that almost all of those women were cheap floozies on the prowl for a meal ticket . rebecca : ah ! well , thanks a lot ! julian : bruce said `` almost all , `` my pet . you , of course , were the exception . alistair : yes , rebecca . as any man of means in harmony knows , you 're anything but cheap . as you were saying , bruce . bruce : well , julian was complaining , and then -- well , then , theresa arrived . all the men in our group thought she was just exquisite -- her lips , her hair , her body . ethan : get to the point . bruce : well , then julian started talking to theresa . theresa : then julian got me drunk , we got married , and that 's the whole story ! julian : no , it was n't . not even close . theresa : what do you mean ? what else happened ? bruce : well -- well , then -- myself and my friends decided we 'd play a trick on julian . i guess we went too far . way too far . antonio : sheridan , you 're pregnant . my beautiful wife is having a baby . beth 's voice : i ca n't believe my luck . luis and sheridan were about to tell antonio that they 're in love , and now it turns out sheridan 's pregnant . this has to help my chances of getting luis . he and sheridan ca n't tell antonio the truth when he 's this happy . antonio : we 're having a baby . you 're going to be a mother and i 'm going to be a father . k ' david : on the next `` 100 huntley street `` , her worship mayor of oakville . she does municipal insight but she has a lot of other insights as well . reverend dale lang , priest from taber , alberta and his fresh vision and feed and seed with reverend keith parks simone : i lost everything , kay . i lost chad . i lost my sister . i lost any chance of me being happy . why did whitney do this to me , kay ?

indifference to my daughters ? i am so close to both of them . i love them , and they both know that . liz : well , you have a funny way of showing it , eve . you never spend time with them . you 're never there when they need you . you know , you keep telling me what a wonderful , perfect , loving family you have . well , i do n't see it , eve . all i see is a house of cards that 's falling apart all around you . but do n't you worry , sis . i am going to be here to pick up the pieces and help rebuild your family . i will be the perfect wife and mother that you failed to be . simone : be honest , kay . how do you know everything that happened after i left tabitha 's to go see chad ? kay : um -- actually , when i was coming upstairs to see you , i overheard your mother and father talking , and i think i pretty much got the whole story . simone : disgusting , is n't it ? i am so angry with whitney , i could rip every piece of hair out of her head ! kay : simone , i understand where you 're coming from . but i still feel like you went wrong when you let them know you were on to them . you know , that just made things worse . simone : i could n't take it , kay . thinking whitney was flirting with chad -- that was one thing . but i walked in on them making love . surprise ! whitney : oh , my god . chad : simone . simone : i 'm telling you , if you had n't been there , i would 've plucked every single piece of hair out of her head . and i almost did . you used sex to get him , did n't you ? you bitch ! whitney : no ! chad : stop it . simone : chad was mine , and whitney took him away from me . kay : simone , you were holding out and whitney was putting out . it 's kind of hard to compete with that . simone : you know , i keep hearing that the easiest way to get a man is by having sex with him . but that 's not always true , is it ? you had sex with miguel . you even got pregnant by miguel , and he still wants nothing to do with you . kay : ok . let 's just concentrate on your situation , shall we ? simone : here is my situation , kay -- chad loves whitney . he wants my sister , body and soul , and she wants him . i lost him , kay ! kay : shh -- simone : i lost the man that i love , and i am never going to get him back ! chad : do n't freak out , but i need to talk to your father . i want to work things out , get back on track . whitney : no , no . i do n't think that 's a good idea . he 's still very angry about all this . chad : whitney , look -- i love you and i want to start a life with you , with your parents ' blessing . but the only way we can do that is to clear the air . whitney : trust me -- it 's still too soon , ok ? chad : but your father thinks that i used you and simone to weasel my way into your family , to move on up without working . i ca n't let him think that -- not if i want to be with his daughter for the rest of my life . whitney : i -- i really do get what you 're saying , but my daddy is still on such a very short fuse . he 'd just as soon kill you as look at you . chad : i know . i heard him outside . but if we wait , it 's only going to get worse . whitney : chad , i do n't know . chad : we waited to tell simone about us , and look what happened . whitney : you 're right . um -- ok . let 's go and tell daddy about us right now while chief bennett is still here . he 'll make sure he does n't lose his temper completely . chad : it 'll be all right . i promise . t.c . : i will rip him to pieces if he shows up here again . sam : t.c . , i meant what i said . you ca n't go around talking like that . i am the chief of police . i 'm sworn to take threats seriously . t.c . : sam , that is no threat . that 's the cold , hard truth , ok ? if he shows his face around this house again , i will kill him . [ sniffing ] sam : stop saying you 're going to kill chad . t.c . : sam , i ca n't , all right ? all i can think about is what this punk has done to my family . whitney and simone are at each other 's throats . whitney missed a big match today all because of this mess . and eve and i got into it on the way that i handled things . that boy were here today , i would rip his heart out . sam : t.c . , listen to what you 're saying . you 're a respected member of this community , a teacher , for god sakes ! you ca n't go around threatening to kill someone . t.c . : yeah . eve pretty much told me that last night . sam : eve is a smart woman , all right ? listen to her . t.c . : sam , i know , ok ? i know . i know i need to control my temper , ok ? but this boy has come in between our lives . whitney and simone do n't even speak anymore . they 're not even close anymore . there 's tension between me and eve , and it 's all because of that punk . i 'm telling you , i will rip him apart . sam : listen -- i know where you 're coming from , ok ? i still blame miguel for causing a permanent rift between kay and charity . but you ca n't keep saying you 're going to kill chad . what if something happened to chad ? what if he died under mysterious circumstances ? t.c . : i would say he deserved it . sam : then you 'd be my prime suspect . i 'd have to arrest you , t.c . , my best friend . and what do you think your family would think , huh ? eve and your daughters , having to watch you stand trial for murder . chad : i 'm sure i can make your father see reason . whitney : i do n't know , chad . maybe this is n't such a good idea . alistair : julian , stop threatening to banish theresa and let bruce finish his story . then we 'll see if there 's sufficient evidence to prove you are n't married to little ethan 's mother . julian : yes , father . alistair : the ball 's back in your court , bruce . now , get to the point and be quick about it . bruce : yes , mr. crane . well , besides ragging on ivy for deceiving him about ethan 's paternity , julian also was complaining about the other children she 'd give him , said they were all worthless -- especially his son fox , who julian described as being a deadbeat playboy . fox : thanks , daddy . julian : i stand by my assessment . alistair : i agree with julian . bruce : well , anyway , julian said he just could n't wait to get rid of ivy . julian : my only regret is that i did n't divorce the bitch sooner . bruce : and then he told me and some of my buddies how he just wanted to play the field from now on , never get married again . julian : i 've always been a firm believer in multitasking . bruce : julian went on to brag how beautiful women found him irresistible and just threw themselves at him . rebecca : yes , it 's so true . bruce : and he went on to say that almost all of those women were cheap floozies on the prowl for a meal ticket . rebecca : ah ! well , thanks a lot ! julian : bruce said `` almost all , `` my pet . you , of course , were the exception . alistair : yes , rebecca . as any man of means in harmony knows , you 're anything but cheap . as you were saying , bruce . bruce : well , julian was complaining , and then -- well , then , theresa arrived . all the men in our group thought she was just exquisite -- her lips , her hair , her body . ethan : get to the point . bruce : well , then julian started talking to theresa . theresa : then julian got me drunk , we got married , and that 's the whole story ! julian : no , it was n't . not even close . theresa : what do you mean ? what else happened ? bruce : well -- well , then -- myself and my friends decided we 'd play a trick on julian . i guess we went too far . way too far . antonio : sheridan , you 're pregnant . my beautiful wife is having a baby . beth 's voice : i ca n't believe my luck . luis and sheridan were about to tell antonio that they 're in love , and now it turns out sheridan 's pregnant . this has to help my chances of getting luis . he and sheridan ca n't tell antonio the truth when he 's this happy . antonio : we 're having a baby . you 're going to be a mother and i 'm going to be a father . k ' david : on the next `` 100 huntley street `` , her worship mayor of oakville . she does municipal insight but she has a lot of other insights as well . reverend dale lang , priest from taber , alberta and his fresh vision and feed and seed with reverend keith parks simone : i lost everything , kay . i lost chad . i lost my sister . i lost any chance of me being happy . why did whitney do this to me , kay ?

's disappearance . you 're gon na have access to computer files and surveillance - video footage , confidential information . [ footsteps approach ] rey : i did n't know you were still here . victor : got the results ? nate : right here . victor : well , what do they say ? matt : is jack abbott our brother ? nate : i do n't know . i have n't looked yet . victor : well , then why do n't you ? open the damn thing . nate : be glad to , once jack gets here . sharon : i was just following up on a few things for this case , and i saw this file on j.t . , and i - i should n't have kept looking at it . i 'm sorry . rey : no , do n't -- do n't worry about it . you 're one of us now . sharon : true . well , kind of . rey : i think it would be kind of strange if you were n't curious ... given how close you were to the situation . sharon : because of victoria . we 've been family for a long time . rey : i know it can also draw you in , looking at the pieces of the puzzle . sharon : well , i 've always been fascinated with police work , and i have a lot of respect for what you do . rey : yeah . i see how you could find it interesting -- the psychology of it all . plus you were married to a detective , right ? sharon : paul 's son . of course he would mention that . rey : it 's always a challenge , trying to figure out what 's going on in someone else 's head . it 's part science , part intuition . you have to be able to parse together the facts without letting your own biases get in the way . after a while , you start getting a gut feeling about things . and if that does n't happen , then i know i got to comb through it again and again -- as many times as it takes until a solution jumps out . but it 's always there . you just got to work for it . to me , that 's -- that 's the fun part . sharon : you must be great at what you do if they brought you in just to work on this . rey : well , somebody up the chain thought i 'd be a good fit , or at least a fresh set of eyes . sharon : the fact that you 've never met j.t . -- does that help or hinder you ? rey : that 's a great question . it helps that paul 's been so thorough . the forensics , complete analysis -- gives us a big advantage . sharon : hair , fingerprints , dna ? rey : mm - hmm . but it goes way beyond that . i 'm talking about microscopic fibers , skin cells , the bacteria on someone 's shoe , stuff that 's undetectable to the human eye . there 's no crime in the world that 's clean anymore , but , i mean , you know that . sharon : i know that they make it look a lot easier on tv than it really is . rey : criminals always make some mistake . no matter how small , it can be exploited . even the best leave something behind that eventually will give them away . sharon : well , as riveting as this has been , i have a bachelorette party to get to . rey : what , are you kid -- why did n't you say something ? i would have not gone on and on . sharon : no , i - i enjoyed it , really . rey : yeah . still , it 's not something you should be thinking about on a night like this . go . have fun . forget -- forget all about this stuff . sharon : i will . thanks . victor : i 'm sorry , doc , but , i mean , do n't just stand there keeping us in suspense , all right ? jack : i apologize for the delay . i was held up in a meeting . i got here as quickly as i could . nate : no worries . jack : do we have the results yet ? nate : we were just waiting for you to arrive . victor : let me have the envelope , okay ? i 'm just gon na take it and destroy it . nikki : victor ! jack : wait , wait , wait . you ca n't do that . victor : i 've paid far too much attention to a man who does n't deserve it , all right ? i think nothing of the man . and it 's all for someone else that i do n't have much use for . nikki : darling , however you feel about jack , he deserves to know the truth about his paternity . matt : it 's not just about jack . if you walk out now , what 's in that lab result is still gon na be there . victor : so be it . matt : victor , you 've faced tougher stuff than this by far -- even father at the end . additional sponsorship victor : just know this . if it happens to be a match , it changes nothing about who we are to each other . jack : suit yourself . i 'm looking for my own answers . nate : it 's not a match . jack : that -- that 's definite ? nate : the results are clear . victor : all right , sweetheart . we 're out of here . nikki : oh . tessa : i come bearing sugar ! mariah : oh , cupcakes ! yay ! tessa : there you go . mariah : thank you . tessa : well , with those and the bonbons , i think you 've got the goodies covered . mariah : [ sighs ] tessa : not to mention the alcohol . mariah : oh , please , do not let me drink too much tonight . i was on margarita duty at victoria 's last time , and it ended up being a complete disaster . tessa : hey , this wo n't be a repeat . what 's going on ? you 're practically vibrating . mariah : i just want this evening to be perfect . tessa : i 'm sure whatever you do , your mom 's gon na love it . mariah : no , no . i mean it 's important to me . so much has gone wrong for sharon , and she 's overcome so many obstacles to get here , and now she 's marrying the love of her life -- for keeps this time -- and i do n't know . i know it sounds crazy , but i just feel like if she can make this work , then -- tessa : hey . hey . it 's gon na be great . and , remember , nick and sharon are solid . they 've got this . nothing 's gon na mess that up -- including you . mariah : okay . [ chuckles ] nick : hi , ladies . tessa : hi , nick . mariah : hey ! nick : what 's going on ? mariah : uh , we 're having a little meet - up , a little party , before the party . everybody 's getting gorgeous together , and , you know ... tessa : chocolate and booze -- that 's the `` you know ... `` part . nick : ah , okay . i got it . yeah . mariah : but it is starting soon , so i 'm gon na need you to ... nick : right . i 'm gon na get changed , go out , do my own thing before yours starts , so ... mariah : yes . better be , because i hear it 's bad luck . nick : is n't that the wedding day ? mariah : ca n't be too careful . nick : gotcha . sharon : [ sighs ] i got hung up at work . i have so much to do to get ready ! mariah : no , no , no , no ! no need to lift a finger . i am in charge . sharon : uh ... well , i still have to do my hair and my makeup for the party . tessa : no , mariah 's handled that , too . mariah : we are having a pre - party here . surprise ! before we head out to the party bus , my stylist from `` gc buzz , `` david , is coming by , and he 's going to get everyone gorgeous and glam , starting with the bride - to - be , so all you need to worry about is changing into your outfit for tonight . sharon : well , that 's fabulous ! thank you ! when is this happening ? mariah : david should be here any minute now . tessa : along with everyone else coming to your bachelorette ... thingy . [ both chuckle ] sharon : you are amazing . do you know that ? mariah : new job and the start of your wedding countdown -- i decided that you deserve some pampering . so , all you need to worry about tonight is having the time of your life . [ chuckles ] it 's gon na be a fantastic night . summer : hi ! uh ... where is everyone ? mariah : they 're coming . summer : oh . meaning i 'm the first one to show ? mariah : well , yes , but , uh , would you like a drink ? my bartending skills are a little bit rusty , but i can still make a decent mai tai . summer : why are you being so nice to me ? it 's kind of creeping me out . mariah : it 's sharon 's night . i was hoping we could all get along . sharon : i 'll think of it as a wedding gift . tessa : that 's getting off cheap . summer : ooh ! i see bubbly . excuse me . abby : hello , everyone . tessa : abby , hi ! sharon : abby ! glad you could make it ! abby : would n't miss it . tessa . summer . tessa : who 's your friend ? abby : oh , this is michelle . she 'll be creating my look for the evening . sharon : you brought a stylist with you ? abby : yes . i do have followers . tessa : about a million less than you , but still . abby : okay . um , michelle , do you think you could maybe set up right here -- give us some elbow room ? mariah : abby , would you like a drink ? abby : food ! i am starved . i had to cancel my lunch plans because -- well , you do n't want to know , but i am so hungry that i could eat a -- a cupcake ? sharon : tessa , could you ... ? tessa : yes . you get started on your ' do , and i 'll forage in the kitchen . abby : [ sighs ] mariah : all right . so , one sugar - free , gluten - free , plant - based , locally sourced tasty treat coming right up for you . jack : now what ? matt : consider yourself lucky . jack : what , because my lifelong enemy and i are not related ? matt : i 'm talking about albert and the dark cloud that the toxic bastard left behind . ruined lives . forget about your past with victor for a minute if you can . think about him as a scared little boy and how hard that child had to work to survive ... and the scars that he carries to this day . you would have been a constant reminder to him of what albert miller did to that boy . so , maybe , before you continue your search , you should ask yourself this question -- would it really have been worth it ? mariah : hope you 're feeling better now that you 've had a little snack . abby : i 'm sorry if i was a little bitchy before . i could just feel my blood sugar plummeting , and then i went to the table , and all i saw was refined flour , and i -- i was just expecting more . mariah : well , no . we 're -- we 're just prepping before we go to the club . i did n't want to ruin anyone 's dinner , so ... abby : oh . so , what are the plans once we get into town ? mariah : i reserved the roof deck . it 's the last night of the season . abby : it 's gon na be freezing up there . mariah : you know what , abby ? there are these crazy new inventions called `` heaters . `` i do n't know if you 've heard of them , um , but i also hired a fantastic deejay . abby : you know , one time i hosted a bachelorette party . it was a masquerade bar hop , only not with costumes . everyone just got to have a new name and a new persona for the evening . it was such a blast . people are still talking about it . now , what exactly are we gon na be doing ? sharon : oh , oh ! i love this song ! summer : me , too ! mariah : nice save . tessa : i got your back . mariah : being fake nice is exhausting . tessa : just pace yourself . victoria : hi . tessa : hi . victoria : oh , wow ! looks like everyone 's having so much fun . sharon : victoria , welcome ! victoria : i 'm sorry i 'm late . sharon : no , it 's okay . we 're just getting started . nikki has n't arrived yet . mariah : oh , victoria ! it 's good to see you again . we have champagne and we have cupcakes and chocolate . we got soda , too . there 's all kinds of booze . victoria : yeah . oh , great ! i 'll check it out . mariah : ice -- i did n't see any in the freezer , and i feel like we 're gon na need some more . sharon : oh . check the freezer in the basement . mariah : okay . got it . victoria : hi . abby : hey . doing okay ? victoria : no , not really . abby : has billy always been this stubborn ? it 's like he 's determined to wreck his life . the way he was attacking us ? my god , we were just trying to help him . victoria : i know . just do n't take it personally . whenever billy 's gambling , it 's always about the next bet or the next big score . he 's not taking anything else in . abby : then how are we gon na get him out of this spiral ? victoria : well , that 's up to billy now . he 's gon na have to choose to find help for himself . and hopefully that 's before he hits rock bottom again . in the meantime , this evening is about sharon , so , um , i 'm gon na give my best effort if you will . abby : deal . hey , and when michelle 's done with me , if you want a touch - up ... victoria : i 'd love one . thanks ! um , i 'm gon na get a drink . need anything ? abby : i 'm good . thanks . victoria : all right . sharon : victoria , i 'm so glad you were able to join us . victoria : oh , thank you . and i 'm really happy that you 're getting on with your life and putting what happened behind you . nick : hey . victoria : nick , hi ! i was just telling sharon how happy i am for both of you . nick : huh . feels like there 's more to it than that . sharon : victoria and i were just speculating about what jack has in store for your bachelor party . victoria : oh , a strip club , maybe ? mariah : i hear the sugar shack is very fun . nick : yeah , nah . not my thing . sharon : i 'm sure jack will come up with something much more original -- a memorable last hurrah before we settle down . tessa : well , since you two have done this before , does n't that mean you have to top the first two parties in terms of debauchery ? nick : oof . i sure hope not . abby : last time , everyone ended up in jail . tessa : wait . the guys from the bachelor party ? sharon : no , all of us . tessa : wait ! how did that happen ? ! mariah : uh , two words -- `` bar fight . `` [ laughter ] tessa : okay . well , i 'm sure it was n't as funny at the time . mariah : actually , i - it kind of was . victoria : yeah . well , it makes for a hilarious story now . summer : hey , what am i missing ? ! victoria : we 'll fill you in later . nick : nothing tops a scuzzy night in a holding cell . uh , no . all i 'm looking for is a drama - free night with my homies . nikki : i 'm so sorry this happened . too many painful memories . victor : hmm . i think it 's better we left it in the past . i mean , john abbott gave his children all the opportunities in the world -- all the love and , you know , pride in their accomplishments . why the hell is jack abbott not happy with that ? it should be enough for him . nikki : well , i 'm proud of you for allowing him to have his answer . victor : yeah . do you have a party to go to ? nikki : i can skip it . victor : no , baby . go to it , okay ? i 'll be all right . nikki : yeah ? victor : yeah . nikki : well ... victor : okay ? okay , my sweetheart . [ smooches ] okay . nikki : i 'll see you later . victor : thank you . [ breathes deeply ] abby : victoria , michelle 's free now . victoria : oh , great . i 'll -- i 'll be right there . nick : that sounds like my cue to mosey along , but before i go , sharon , do you have a second ? sharon : sure . what 's up ? abby : it 's good to see those two looking so happy . summer : oh , yeah . i mean , they 're happy now . they 're still in the premarital fun phase . mariah : cynical much ? nick : i know i 've said it like six times today , but i can not wait to marry you . sharon : because of how enticing i look with my hair in curlers ? nick : you would look enticing in a gunnysack . sharon : aw , you 're sweet . but i 'm afraid the mystery 's pretty much gone . no surprises left . nick : i would n't be too sure about that . sharon : oh , really ? nick : yeah . i may or may not have gotten you a pre - wedding gift . sharon : nicholas newman , if you have gone and bought me any more jewelry -- nick : oh , this is better than jewelry . way better . check this out . sharon : [ gasps ] oh , it 's fabulous ! is that where we 're staying on our honeymoon ? nick : no , that is across town . that 's our new home . sharon : what ? nick : yeah . i know how busy you 've been and crazy with the wedding and the graduation and starting a new job , and i just wanted to take all that pressure off of you . so i went and bought this , and the best part is it 's gon na be ready for you , me , and the kids to move into right after our wedding . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . abby : oh , wait a second . do n't do her mascara yet . i need her to see something . victoria : okay . what is it ? abby : okay . which earrings -- these ... or these ? victoria : uh ... i would say the ones on your left . they 're your favorite color . both : sparkly ! summer : i just ate half of a cupcake . red velvet . delicious . mariah : great . i 'm glad you liked it . summer : you know , i think you were smart to keep this party simple , given the stats of how few marriages actually last . mariah : watch it , snowflake . summer : oh , there 's the mariah that we all know and love . and , fyi , i was talking about my own unfortunate marital history , but , you know , stuff happens . right , abby ? abby : wow . what a lovely and tasteful thing to bring up . nicely done . summer : there was nothing lovely and tasteful about what you did with my husband . victoria : it takes two , summer . summer : oh . et tu , aunt vicki ? mariah : okay . can we please change the subject and get back to celebrating ? summer : oh , happy , happy , joy , joy . what is with this act that you 're putting on ? you always say that you hate phonies . i thought you 'd enjoy getting real for a change . tessa : you want real > we can do that . sharon : nick , why would you do something like this without involving me ? nick : sharon , i did involve you . we 've been house - hunting for weeks . i mean , you told me what you wanted in a home -- what you liked and what you did n't like , which ones you thought were too big or too fancy or too impersonal . this one is perfect . it 's in the best part of town . it 's the kind of home where we can create that warmth that you want . i pulled the trigger . i did what needed to be done . sharon : it was a huge decision -- the kind that we should have made as a couple . nick : i know . i know . but there were other people that were interested . and the seller really wanted a fast sale . trust me -- if i did n't take it off the market asap , we were gon na lose it . this is the home for us . and remember we had that long and open and honest talk about all the reasons why you were reluctant to make the move ? i 'm not doing this to impress my dad or to -- you know , to prove a point . i 'm doing this for us , for our future . it 's gon na happen in this house . sharon : well , it -- it 's amazing , and the grounds , and it even has a pool . nick : the pictures do n't even do it justice . the guy 's wife has a degree in landscape design . it 's incredible . the conservatory 's brand new . sharon : you do n't have to sell me , nick . nick : so , does this mean you 're gon na be happy ... once the shock wears off ? sharon : i just never pictured myself living anyplace like this . nick : but , sharon , that 's why i did it for you , for us . our new life is gon na start in this home . i got to go meet jack for some drinks before my bachelor party . you have a great time tonight . we 're gon na talk about this more later , okay ? love you . sharon : i love you , too . nick : hey , mom . nikki : oh , hi , dear ! nick : bye , mom . nikki : uh , bye ! have a good time ! but not too good of a time ! mariah : okay . as much as i love the curlers in your hair , it 's time for your blowout , so let 's go . abby : and it is time for some bubbly . sharon : you all look so lovely . abby : everyone , raise your glass . a toast to nick and sharon and their soon- to - be happily ever after . tessa : cheers ! mariah : hear , hear ! summer : cheers . abby : it 's gon na be the best night . [ laughter ] victoria : you want some truffles ? nikki : oh . uh , no . thank you , dear . i thought you were gon na bail . nikki : well , it 's a show of support for nicholas . and i want to keep an eye on the weakest link over there . abby : he really gets me . i feel so comfortable with him . it 's like i do n't have to be camera - ready every single second of the day . mariah : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's key . abby : arturo 's introduced me to his younger sister , his older brother , and he 's practically met everyone in my family on both sides , and he has n't run away screaming yet , so that says a lot . [ laughs ] summer : it says that he likes rich people , so ... abby : what is with you today ? summer : excuse me ? abby : i mean , do we have some problem that i do n't know about ? summer : no . i 'm just calling it like i see it . i mean , it 's obvious that you 're crazy about the guy . it 's just how well do you really know him ? abby : well , we have n't been together that long , but , so far , i 've liked what i 've seen . arturo is ambitious and he 's hardworking , but he has this sensitive side . he 's funny and kind and attentive , and he 's someone that i can see myself with long - term , not that we 're rushing into anything . summer : so , you 're saying that he 's perfect ? abby : no . that 's not what i 'm saying . tessa : of course he 's not perfect . that 's not why you love someone or why you ca n't imagine your life without them . you sit on the sidelines and you talk smack about love and marriage as if you 're over it , but really you just want it so badly , and you ca n't figure out how to get it or make it last once you do . summer : nice speech . i assume that it was for mariah 's benefit . too bad that you 're wrong about me . abby : you 're not wrong . mariah : look , i know that i 've been playing sickeningly nice , but it was very enjoyable watching you take princess down a few pegs . tessa : well , summer was right about one thing . i was talking about you . i ca n't imagine my life being without you ... loving you . and you do n't have to say anything yet . no pressure . mariah : you know , i tried to once before , but you cut me off then , too . tessa : [ chuckles ] abby : um , mariah ? what 's the deal with the party bus ? should n't it be here by now ? mariah : uh , you know what ? i 'm gon na call them and make sure they 're on schedule . [ cellphone chimes ] sharon : thank you , david . victoria : so , how 's the new job ? sharon : um ... the work itself is fine . it 's like it 's tailor - made for me . the sneaking around -- that 's a different story . nikki : what do you mean , sneaking around ? sharon : i found a file on rey 's desk -- everything you 've ever wanted to know about j.t . hellstrom but were afraid to ask . victoria : you found the police file on j.t . ? sharon : it was sitting right there in plain sight . there was no one around , so i could n't help looking . nikki : and ? sharon : the first few pages were just photos of j.t . and the clothing that he left behind at victoria 's house -- nothing we did n't already know . before i could get any further , rey walked in and caught me . victoria : oh , my god . nikki : what did you do ? sharon : the only thing i could do . i said i was curious and i apologized if i had been looking at something i should n't have been . he was surprisingly cool about it . i guess because i work for the department now , it 's not a huge deal . but that was the idea behind me taking the job , right -- that i would infiltrate the department and find out where the investigation is going ? nikki : or ... maybe this rey ... has other ideas , like setting you up ... putting some cheese in the trap and hoping that the mouse takes the bait . victoria : mom 's right . it could have been an act . nikki : which is why you can not let your guard down for a second . i 'm not a total neophyte , okay ? i was able to cover it just fine . rey realizes that i used to be married to a detective and i know a thing or two about policework . but that file was about yea thick , and i am worried about the evidence they 've already compiled , and with the forensics tools police have -- victoria : i know what they took . i know what 's in the house . it 's clear of any evidence . sharon : you think it 's clean , but according to rey -- victoria : you 're getting too close to this guy , and you 're trusting this guy too much . sharon : i have a feeling rey is very good at his job . victoria : yes ... which is what we should all be scared of . nikki : and that 's why you need to be more careful ! mariah : all right , you guys . the party bus is parked out front . but before we get this show on the road , i have one little surprise . i had sashes made for all of us -- you know , the bride ... bridesmaid ... bridesmaid ... mother of the groom ... victoria : oh , you 've thought of everything , did n't you ? mariah : ... bridesmaid , and my favorite -- plus one . [ chuckles ] all right ! abby : where are the tiaras ? it 's very last year . mariah : [ laughs ] come on ! let 's go ! everybody get your purses . let 's get on the bus ! abby : off to the roof deck we go . wow . way to go , mariah . [ laughter ] nikki : oh . oh . [ door opens ] nikki : sharon , what 's -- what 's taking you so long ? the bus is ready to leave . are you all right ? sharon : i 'm fine . i 'm coming . i was just thinking about things . it 's got me a little emotional . nikki : listen , the others can wait . talk to me . victor : i 'm glad you texted me . matt : i would n't leave town without saying goodbye . let 's not lose touch like that again . victor : i agree with you ... although i 'm not happy about ... what brought us together . matt : if that 's what comes of it , you and i being connected , i 'd say it was n't all that bad . victor : yeah , but , you know , it was a painful reminder of my past . i just hope that my children will not view their father the way i view mine . nick : hey , you 're not related to my dad . that is a win . jack : yeah . the trail 's going cold . nick : you gon na keep searching ? jack : there is a growing chorus of people urging me to just drop the whole thing . nick : well , the good news is there 's time , right ? i mean , this is n't something you have to decide right now . jack : you 're right . tonight ... is about celebrating . tonight is about enjoying a bachelor party . nick : that 's not the only thing . we 're gon na be neighbors soon . jack : oh ? nick : i bought sharon a new house in town . jack : wow ! congratulations ! nick : thanks . i just hope she loves it as much as i do . jack : hope she 'll ... ? has sharon seen it ? nick : nope . i wanted it to be a surprise , kind of like our first wedding . remember on the ranch , i fixed up the old foreman 's cottage for us ? jack : yeah , i - i remember . still , it 's a pretty bold move . nick : yeah . i do n't know . i just feel like this go - around needs to be different , you know ? you only get so many chances in life , and this time i want everything to be just right . sharon : i 've tried every way i know how ... to make nick understand why i do n't want to move , and then he goes and does this . he presents it as a fait accompli . nikki : well ... not to invalidate your feelings , but i - i really do n't see this as a big problem . sharon : no ? nikki : i mean , this is the kind of thing that victor would do -- you know , the grand , romantic gesture . although , selfishly , i do enjoy having faith and christian close by . sharon : i hear what you 're saying . nikki : and you and i have had our battles , certainly . from the time i laid eyes on you , i did n't trust you . i did n't want you in nicholas ' life . frankly , i took an instant dislike to you , sharon . have you ever wondered why ? sharon : [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] only every day for the past 25 years . nikki : it 's because you and i are so much alike . we both grew up poor . everything was a struggle . we had to fight and claw our way out of it to even have the hope for a decent future . as privileged as we have been to marry into this family , our early experiences will never leave us . we will always remember them -- never forget ... nor should we . sharon : what does n't kill us makes us stronger ? nikki : mm . something like that . i mean , this is a wonderful life to live , especially our families . if we have one thing in common , it 's that they mean everything to us . sometimes i might not like you , i - i might not be fair to you , but ... [ chuckles ] i might just outright dislike you , but i will respect you for that . i always will . sharon : [ sniffles ] that 's probably the most honest thing you 've ever said to me and [ sniffles ] the most meaningful , as well . thank you . nikki : you 're welcome . sharon : still think i 'm a gold digger ? nikki : [ scoffs ] uh , sharon , uh ... time marches on . things change ... if we 're smart . sharon : so , what wise words of advice do you have for me ? nikki : nicholas has finally found his own path , and he 's moving very fast now . i see the same spark and drive in him that i saw in his father so long ago . so , sharon , just sit down and strap yourself in and enjoy it . my son is doing all of this for you . sharon : i understand everything you 're saying , and i appreciate it . nikki : are you gon na take my advice ? sharon : if i 'm going to be the woman by nick 's side as he makes his dreams come true , then i need to throw myself into this and really commit , and i accept that . nikki : but ? sharon : i just wish i did n't feel like i was losing the parts of nicholas that i fell in love with in the first place . it makes me look at myself and what i 'm contributing to this relationship . i know that i need to bring trust and gratitude to these changes , not doubt . nikki : nicholas is growing . he 's maturing . he 's coming into his own . and those are all good things . and so are you , by the way . do n't think i have n't noticed . sharon : [ chuckles ] thank you ... again . this is not a conversation that i thought you and i would be having . nikki : yeah , me either . sharon : not in this lifetime , anyway . [ both chuckle ] nikki : i just volunteered to come in and see what was keeping you . sharon : yeah . we ... probably should get going , not keep 'em waiting . nikki : yeah . god knows there 's enough booze on that bus to keep them all occupied for a long time , so ... sharon : there 's one thing that you have opened my eyes to . [ sighs ] and i know you 're not gon na like this , but just hear me out . nikki : um , i do n't know if i like the sound of this . sharon : in order for me to be a good wife to nicholas , i need to do things right . i ca n't go into another marriage with any secrets or lies between us . nikki : where are you going with this , sharon ? sharon : i need to tell nicholas the truth about j.t . 's death -- all of it . | rey catches sharon snooping at the police station and she tells him that she is interested in how they work a case . sharon talks to victiria and nikki later at the bachelorette party and nikki warns her that rey may be setting a trap so she needs to not let down her gaurd . sharon is upset with nick because he bought a big mansion accross town without consulting her and she does n't want to leave her house . nikki tells sharon that she never liked her for nick because they were too much alike and she encouraes her to spport nick and help him realize his dreams sharon tells nikkki she needs to be honest with nick and tell him how jt died . nate tells victor and jack that the dna test shows that they are not brothers and jack is disappointed that he has hit another dead end . nick and matt both tell jack he should consider it a blessing not to be related to a monster like albert miller . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] billy : my obligation is fulfilled . victoria : listen to yourself , billy ! billy : you listen to me . i am done . i do n't need your help . i do n't want your opinions . the only thing i want from every single one of you is to leave me the hell alone ! jack : as much as i want to know who my biological father is , here 's hoping the lab responds with a resounding negative . victor : now , that i will drink to . nate : the wait is over . i have the test results . nick : you 've talked about cakes and flowers . these are very fluffy things for you . mariah : i 'm trying to own my maid of honor title for sharon , for you . nick : i 'm just talking about moving across town , to a new home . what has changed ? sharon : you . victoria : if you 're working for the police department , then you can keep tabs on rey and his investigation into j.t . 's disappearance . you 're gon na have access to computer files and surveillance - video footage , confidential information . [ footsteps approach ] rey : i did n't know you were still here . victor : got the results ? nate : right here . victor : well , what do they say ? matt : is jack abbott our brother ? nate : i do n't know . i have n't looked yet . victor : well , then why do n't you ? open the damn thing . nate : be glad to , once jack gets here . sharon : i was just following up on a few things for this case , and i saw this file on j.t . , and i - i should n't have kept looking at it . i 'm sorry . rey : no , do n't -- do n't worry about it . you 're one of us now . sharon : true . well , kind of . rey : i think it would be kind of strange if you were n't curious ... given how close you were to the situation . sharon : because of victoria . we 've been family for a long time . rey : i know it can also draw you in , looking at the pieces of the puzzle . sharon : well , i 've always been fascinated with police work , and i have a lot of respect for what you do . rey : yeah . i see how you could find it interesting -- the psychology of it all . plus you were married to a detective , right ? sharon : paul 's son . of course he would mention that . rey : it 's always a challenge , trying to figure out what 's going on in someone else 's head . it 's part science , part intuition . you have to be able to parse together the facts without letting your own biases get in the way . after a while , you start getting a gut feeling about things . and if that does n't happen , then i know i got to comb through it again and again -- as many times as it takes until a solution jumps out . but it 's always there . you just got to work for it . to me , that 's -- that 's the fun part . sharon : you must be great at what you do if they brought you in just to work on this . rey : well , somebody up the chain thought i 'd be a good fit , or at least a fresh set of eyes . sharon : the fact that you 've never met j.t . -- does that help or hinder you ? rey : that 's a great question . it helps that paul 's been so thorough . the forensics , complete analysis -- gives us a big advantage . sharon : hair , fingerprints , dna ? rey : mm - hmm . but it goes way beyond that . i 'm talking about microscopic fibers , skin cells , the bacteria on someone 's shoe , stuff that 's undetectable to the human eye . there 's no crime in the world that 's clean anymore , but , i mean , you know that . sharon : i know that they make it look a lot easier on tv than it really is . rey : criminals always make some mistake . no matter how small , it can be exploited . even the best leave something behind that eventually will give them away . sharon : well , as riveting as this has been , i have a bachelorette party to get to . rey : what , are you kid -- why did n't you say something ? i would have not gone on and on . sharon : no , i - i enjoyed it , really . rey : yeah . still , it 's not something you should be thinking about on a night like this . go . have fun . forget -- forget all about this stuff . sharon : i will . thanks . victor : i 'm sorry , doc , but , i mean , do n't just stand there keeping us in suspense , all right ? jack : i apologize for the delay . i was held up in a meeting . i got here as quickly as i could . nate : no worries . jack : do we have the results yet ? nate : we were just waiting for you to arrive . victor : let me have the envelope , okay ? i 'm just gon na take it and destroy it . nikki : victor ! jack : wait , wait , wait . you ca n't do that . victor : i 've paid far too much attention to a man who does n't deserve it , all right ? i think nothing of the man . and it 's all for someone else that i do n't have much use for . nikki : darling , however you feel about jack , he deserves to know the truth about his paternity . matt : it 's not just about jack . if you walk out now , what 's in that lab result is still gon na be there . victor : so be it . matt : victor , you 've faced tougher stuff than this by far -- even father at the end . additional sponsorship victor : just know this . if it happens to be a match , it changes nothing about who we are to each other . jack : suit yourself . i 'm looking for my own answers . nate : it 's not a match . jack : that -- that 's definite ? nate : the results are clear . victor : all right , sweetheart . we 're out of here . nikki : oh . tessa : i come bearing sugar ! mariah : oh , cupcakes ! yay ! tessa : there you go . mariah : thank you . tessa : well , with those and the bonbons , i think you 've got the goodies covered . mariah : [ sighs ] tessa : not to mention the alcohol . mariah : oh , please , do not let me drink too much tonight . i was on margarita duty at victoria 's last time , and it ended up being a complete disaster . tessa : hey , this wo n't be a repeat . what 's going on ? you 're practically vibrating . mariah : i just want this evening to be perfect . tessa : i 'm sure whatever you do , your mom 's gon na love it . mariah : no , no . i mean it 's important to me . so much has gone wrong for sharon , and she 's overcome so many obstacles to get here , and now she 's marrying the love of her life -- for keeps this time -- and i do n't know . i know it sounds crazy , but i just feel like if she can make this work , then -- tessa : hey . hey . it 's gon na be great . and , remember , nick and sharon are solid . they 've got this . nothing 's gon na mess that up -- including you . mariah : okay . [ chuckles ] nick : hi , ladies . tessa : hi , nick . mariah : hey ! nick : what 's going on ? mariah : uh , we 're having a little meet - up , a little party , before the party . everybody 's getting gorgeous together , and , you know ... tessa : chocolate and booze -- that 's the `` you know ... `` part . nick : ah , okay . i got it . yeah . mariah : but it is starting soon , so i 'm gon na need you to ... nick : right . i 'm gon na get changed , go out , do my own thing before yours starts , so ... mariah : yes . better be , because i hear it 's bad luck . nick : is n't that the wedding day ? mariah : ca n't be too careful . nick : gotcha . sharon : [ sighs ] i got hung up at work . i have so much to do to get ready ! mariah : no , no , no , no ! no need to lift a finger . i am in charge . sharon : uh ... well , i still have to do my hair and my makeup for the party . tessa : no , mariah 's handled that , too . mariah : we are having a pre - party here . surprise ! before we head out to the party bus , my stylist from `` gc buzz , `` david , is coming by , and he 's going to get everyone gorgeous and glam , starting with the bride - to - be , so all you need to worry about is changing into your outfit for tonight . sharon : well , that 's fabulous ! thank you ! when is this happening ? mariah : david should be here any minute now . tessa : along with everyone else coming to your bachelorette ... thingy . [ both chuckle ] sharon : you are amazing . do you know that ? mariah : new job and the start of your wedding countdown -- i decided that you deserve some pampering . so , all you need to worry about tonight is having the time of your life . [ chuckles ] it 's gon na be a fantastic night . summer : hi ! uh ... where is everyone ? mariah : they 're coming . summer : oh . meaning i 'm the first one to show ? mariah : well , yes , but , uh , would you like a drink ? my bartending skills are a little bit rusty , but i can still make a decent mai tai . summer : why are you being so nice to me ? it 's kind of creeping me out . mariah : it 's sharon 's night . i was hoping we could all get along . sharon : i 'll think of it as a wedding gift . tessa : that 's getting off cheap . summer : ooh ! i see bubbly . excuse me . abby : hello , everyone . tessa : abby , hi ! sharon : abby ! glad you could make it ! abby : would n't miss it . tessa . summer . tessa : who 's your friend ? abby : oh , this is michelle . she 'll be creating my look for the evening . sharon : you brought a stylist with you ? abby : yes . i do have followers . tessa : about a million less than you , but still . abby : okay . um , michelle , do you think you could maybe set up right here -- give us some elbow room ? mariah : abby , would you like a drink ? abby : food ! i am starved . i had to cancel my lunch plans because -- well , you do n't want to know , but i am so hungry that i could eat a -- a cupcake ? sharon : tessa , could you ... ? tessa : yes . you get started on your ' do , and i 'll forage in the kitchen . abby : [ sighs ] mariah : all right . so , one sugar - free , gluten - free , plant - based , locally sourced tasty treat coming right up for you . jack : now what ? matt : consider yourself lucky . jack : what , because my lifelong enemy and i are not related ? matt : i 'm talking about albert and the dark cloud that the toxic bastard left behind . ruined lives . forget about your past with victor for a minute if you can . think about him as a scared little boy and how hard that child had to work to survive ... and the scars that he carries to this day . you would have been a constant reminder to him of what albert miller did to that boy . so , maybe , before you continue your search , you should ask yourself this question -- would it really have been worth it ? mariah : hope you 're feeling better now that you 've had a little snack . abby : i 'm sorry if i was a little bitchy before . i could just feel my blood sugar plummeting , and then i went to the table , and all i saw was refined flour , and i -- i was just expecting more . mariah : well , no . we 're -- we 're just prepping before we go to the club . i did n't want to ruin anyone 's dinner , so ... abby : oh . so , what are the plans once we get into town ? mariah : i reserved the roof deck . it 's the last night of the season . abby : it 's gon na be freezing up there . mariah : you know what , abby ? there are these crazy new inventions called `` heaters . `` i do n't know if you 've heard of them , um , but i also hired a fantastic deejay . abby : you know , one time i hosted a bachelorette party . it was a masquerade bar hop , only not with costumes . everyone just got to have a new name and a new persona for the evening . it was such a blast . people are still talking about it . now , what exactly are we gon na be doing ? sharon : oh , oh ! i love this song ! summer : me , too ! mariah : nice save . tessa : i got your back . mariah : being fake nice is exhausting . tessa : just pace yourself . victoria : hi . tessa : hi . victoria : oh , wow ! looks like everyone 's having so much fun . sharon : victoria , welcome ! victoria : i 'm sorry i 'm late . sharon : no , it 's okay . we 're just getting started . nikki has n't arrived yet . mariah : oh , victoria ! it 's good to see you again . we have champagne and we have cupcakes and chocolate . we got soda , too . there 's all kinds of booze . victoria : yeah . oh , great ! i 'll check it out . mariah : ice -- i did n't see any in the freezer , and i feel like we 're gon na need some more . sharon : oh . check the freezer in the basement . mariah : okay . got it . victoria : hi . abby : hey . doing okay ? victoria : no , not really . abby : has billy always been this stubborn ? it 's like he 's determined to wreck his life . the way he was attacking us ? my god , we were just trying to help him . victoria : i know . just do n't take it personally . whenever billy 's gambling , it 's always about the next bet or the next big score . he 's not taking anything else in . abby : then how are we gon na get him out of this spiral ? victoria : well , that 's up to billy now . he 's gon na have to choose to find help for himself . and hopefully that 's before he hits rock bottom again . in the meantime , this evening is about sharon , so , um , i 'm gon na give my best effort if you will . abby : deal . hey , and when michelle 's done with me , if you want a touch - up ... victoria : i 'd love one . thanks ! um , i 'm gon na get a drink . need anything ? abby : i 'm good . thanks . victoria : all right . sharon : victoria , i 'm so glad you were able to join us . victoria : oh , thank you . and i 'm really happy that you 're getting on with your life and putting what happened behind you . nick : hey . victoria : nick , hi ! i was just telling sharon how happy i am for both of you . nick : huh . feels like there 's more to it than that . sharon : victoria and i were just speculating about what jack has in store for your bachelor party . victoria : oh , a strip club , maybe ? mariah : i hear the sugar shack is very fun . nick : yeah , nah . not my thing . sharon : i 'm sure jack will come up with something much more original -- a memorable last hurrah before we settle down . tessa : well , since you two have done this before , does n't that mean you have to top the first two parties in terms of debauchery ? nick : oof . i sure hope not . abby : last time , everyone ended up in jail . tessa : wait . the guys from the bachelor party ? sharon : no , all of us . tessa : wait ! how did that happen ? ! mariah : uh , two words -- `` bar fight . `` [ laughter ] tessa : okay . well , i 'm sure it was n't as funny at the time . mariah : actually , i - it kind of was . victoria : yeah . well , it makes for a hilarious story now . summer : hey , what am i missing ? ! victoria : we 'll fill you in later . nick : nothing tops a scuzzy night in a holding cell . uh , no . all i 'm looking for is a drama - free night with my homies . nikki : i 'm so sorry this happened . too many painful memories . victor : hmm . i think it 's better we left it in the past . i mean , john abbott gave his children all the opportunities in the world -- all the love and , you know , pride in their accomplishments . why the hell is jack abbott not happy with that ? it should be enough for him . nikki : well , i 'm proud of you for allowing him to have his answer . victor : yeah . do you have a party to go to ? nikki : i can skip it . victor : no , baby . go to it , okay ? i 'll be all right . nikki : yeah ? victor : yeah . nikki : well ... victor : okay ? okay , my sweetheart . [ smooches ] okay . nikki : i 'll see you later . victor : thank you . [ breathes deeply ] abby : victoria , michelle 's free now . victoria : oh , great . i 'll -- i 'll be right there . nick : that sounds like my cue to mosey along , but before i go , sharon , do you have a second ? sharon : sure . what 's up ? abby : it 's good to see those two looking so happy . summer : oh , yeah . i mean , they 're happy now . they 're still in the premarital fun phase . mariah : cynical much ? nick : i know i 've said it like six times today , but i can not wait to marry you . sharon : because of how enticing i look with my hair in curlers ? nick : you would look enticing in a gunnysack . sharon : aw , you 're sweet . but i 'm afraid the mystery 's pretty much gone . no surprises left . nick : i would n't be too sure about that . sharon : oh , really ? nick : yeah . i may or may not have gotten you a pre - wedding gift . sharon : nicholas newman , if you have gone and bought me any more jewelry -- nick : oh , this is better than jewelry . way better . check this out . sharon : [ gasps ] oh , it 's fabulous ! is that where we 're staying on our honeymoon ? nick : no , that is across town . that 's our new home . sharon : what ? nick : yeah . i know how busy you 've been and crazy with the wedding and the graduation and starting a new job , and i just wanted to take all that pressure off of you . so i went and bought this , and the best part is it 's gon na be ready for you , me , and the kids to move into right after our wedding . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . abby : oh , wait a second . do n't do her mascara yet . i need her to see something . victoria : okay . what is it ? abby : okay . which earrings -- these ... or these ? victoria : uh ... i would say the ones on your left . they 're your favorite color . both : sparkly ! summer : i just ate half of a cupcake . red velvet . delicious . mariah : great . i 'm glad you liked it . summer : you know , i think you were smart to keep this party simple , given the stats of how few marriages actually last . mariah : watch it , snowflake . summer : oh , there 's the mariah that we all know and love . and , fyi , i was talking about my own unfortunate marital history , but , you know , stuff happens . right , abby ? abby : wow . what a lovely and tasteful thing to bring up . nicely done . summer : there was nothing lovely and tasteful about what you did with my husband . victoria : it takes two , summer . summer : oh . et tu , aunt vicki ? mariah : okay . can we please change the subject and get back to celebrating ? summer : oh , happy , happy , joy , joy . what is with this act that you 're putting on ? you always say that you hate phonies . i thought you 'd enjoy getting real for a change . tessa : you want real > we can do that . sharon : nick , why would you do something like this without involving me ? nick : sharon , i did involve you . we 've been house - hunting for weeks . i mean , you told me what you wanted in a home -- what you liked and what you did n't like , which ones you thought were too big or too fancy or too impersonal . this one is perfect . it 's in the best part of town . it 's the kind of home where we can create that warmth that you want . i pulled the trigger . i did what needed to be done . sharon : it was a huge decision -- the kind that we should have made as a couple . nick : i know . i know . but there were other people that were interested . and the seller really wanted a fast sale . trust me -- if i did n't take it off the market asap , we were gon na lose it . this is the home for us . and remember we had that long and open and honest talk about all the reasons why you were reluctant to make the move ? i 'm not doing this to impress my dad or to -- you know , to prove a point . i 'm doing this for us , for our future . it 's gon na happen in this house . sharon : well , it -- it 's amazing , and the grounds , and it even has a pool . nick : the pictures do n't even do it justice . the guy 's wife has a degree in landscape design . it 's incredible . the conservatory 's brand new . sharon : you do n't have to sell me , nick . nick : so , does this mean you 're gon na be happy ... once the shock wears off ? sharon : i just never pictured myself living anyplace like this . nick : but , sharon , that 's why i did it for you , for us . our new life is gon na start in this home . i got to go meet jack for some drinks before my bachelor party . you have a great time tonight . we 're gon na talk about this more later , okay ? love you . sharon : i love you , too . nick : hey , mom . nikki : oh , hi , dear ! nick : bye , mom . nikki : uh , bye ! have a good time ! but not too good of a time ! mariah : okay . as much as i love the curlers in your hair , it 's time for your blowout , so let 's go . abby : and it is time for some bubbly . sharon : you all look so lovely . abby : everyone , raise your glass . a toast to nick and sharon and their soon- to - be happily ever after . tessa : cheers ! mariah : hear , hear ! summer : cheers . abby : it 's gon na be the best night . [ laughter ] victoria : you want some truffles ? nikki : oh . uh , no . thank you , dear . i thought you were gon na bail . nikki : well , it 's a show of support for nicholas . and i want to keep an eye on the weakest link over there . abby : he really gets me . i feel so comfortable with him . it 's like i do n't have to be camera - ready every single second of the day . mariah : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's key . abby : arturo 's introduced me to his younger sister , his older brother , and he 's practically met everyone in my family on both sides , and he has n't run away screaming yet , so that says a lot . [ laughs ] summer : it says that he likes rich people , so ... abby : what is with you today ? summer : excuse me ? abby : i mean , do we have some problem that i do n't know about ? summer : no . i 'm just calling it like i see it . i mean , it 's obvious that you 're crazy about the guy . it 's just how well do you really know him ? abby : well , we have n't been together that long , but , so far , i 've liked what i 've seen . arturo is ambitious and he 's hardworking , but he has this sensitive side . he 's funny and kind and attentive , and he 's someone that i can see myself with long - term , not that we 're rushing into anything . summer : so , you 're saying that he 's perfect ? abby : no . that 's not what i 'm saying . tessa : of course he 's not perfect . that 's not why you love someone or why you ca n't imagine your life without them . you sit on the sidelines and you talk smack about love and marriage as if you 're over it , but really you just want it so badly , and you ca n't figure out how to get it or make it last once you do . summer : nice speech . i assume that it was for mariah 's benefit . too bad that you 're wrong about me . abby : you 're not wrong . mariah : look , i know that i 've been playing sickeningly nice , but it was very enjoyable watching you take princess down a few pegs . tessa : well , summer was right about one thing . i was talking about you . i ca n't imagine my life being without you ... loving you . and you do n't have to say anything yet . no pressure . mariah : you know , i tried to once before , but you cut me off then , too . tessa : [ chuckles ] abby : um , mariah ? what 's the deal with the party bus ? should n't it be here by now ? mariah : uh , you know what ? i 'm gon na call them and make sure they 're on schedule . [ cellphone chimes ] sharon : thank you , david . victoria : so , how 's the new job ? sharon : um ... the work itself is fine . it 's like it 's tailor - made for me . the sneaking around -- that 's a different story . nikki : what do you mean , sneaking around ? sharon : i found a file on rey 's desk -- everything you 've ever wanted to know about j.t . hellstrom but were afraid to ask . victoria : you found the police file on j.t . ? sharon : it was sitting right there in plain sight . there was no one around , so i could n't help looking . nikki : and ? sharon : the first few pages were just photos of j.t . and the clothing that he left behind at victoria 's house -- nothing we did n't already know . before i could get any further , rey walked in and caught me . victoria : oh , my god . nikki : what did you do ? sharon : the only thing i could do . i said i was curious and i apologized if i had been looking at something i should n't have been . he was surprisingly cool about it . i guess because i work for the department now , it 's not a huge deal . but that was the idea behind me taking the job , right -- that i would infiltrate the department and find out where the investigation is going ? nikki : or ... maybe this rey ... has other ideas , like setting you up ... putting some cheese in the trap and hoping that the mouse takes the bait . victoria : mom 's right . it could have been an act . nikki : which is why you can not let your guard down for a second . i 'm not a total neophyte , okay ? i was able to cover it just fine . rey realizes that i used to be married to a detective and i know a thing or two about policework . but that file was about yea thick , and i am worried about the evidence they 've already compiled , and with the forensics tools police have -- victoria : i know what they took . i know what 's in the house . it 's clear of any evidence . sharon : you think it 's clean , but according to rey -- victoria : you 're getting too close to this guy , and you 're trusting this guy too much . sharon : i have a feeling rey is very good at his job . victoria : yes ... which is what we should all be scared of . nikki : and that 's why you need to be more careful ! mariah : all right , you guys . the party bus is parked out front . but before we get this show on the road , i have one little surprise . i had sashes made for all of us -- you know , the bride ... bridesmaid ... bridesmaid ... mother of the groom ... victoria : oh , you 've thought of everything , did n't you ? mariah : ... bridesmaid , and my favorite -- plus one .

nick : bridget ? what 's going on here ? you said the baby was fine . bridget : baby 's fine . i 'm just having a little difficulty getting this out , nick . nick : okay . well , let 's try to get past the difficulty . and just say it . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i 'm just saying that if the jury understood that you had wanted to come forward all along , and that i was the one that kept you from doing it -- ridge : no , mother . i made all my own bad decisions , all right . your sentence , if you insist on having one , is just to help take care of my kids . brooke : you keep talking as if you 're going to go to prison forever . you know , first - degree murder is n't that easy to prove . woman : that 's what i 'd call our silver lining too . i 'm christine blair . ridge : my mother was just telling me about you . christine : you do n't sound too thrilled . ridge : well , i 'm not so sure even the best attorney can help me now . stephanie : well , do you suppose we could just have a little positive thinking here ? ms. blair , after all , has an outstanding reputation , and i might add , a national reputation . brooke : but your practice is n't here in california ? christine : well that 's true , but i got my multi - state accreditation working for newman enterprises years ago . you must be brooke . i recognized you , right away . stephanie 's told me so much about you . brooke : yes , she enjoys doing that . christine : is now a good time for us to talk alone ? ridge : yes , i -- i 'd like the two of them to stay . they know me better than i know myself . christine : okay . how did the indictment go ? ridge : i plead guilty to -- obstruction of justice . stephanie : which is as much my doing as his . christine : is that something i should hear about ? brooke : not at the moment . what 's important is that he plead not guilty to murder in the first degree . ridge : look , i can be accountable for a lot of things , but not for that . stephanie : what i 'm concerned about , ms. blair , is the media says that the district attorney 's office is determined to somehow make an example of us . you know , that this family is not above the law . christine : whatever public posturing is going on , she would n't go for murder one unless she thought it was going to fly . she thinks it will because of your prior conviction . brooke : even if it 's something he did n't do ? christine : the chambers shooting ? i -- i thought you confessed . ridge : well , i did . stephanie : he did -- because of brooke . christine : are you saying we can make that prior go away ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i made a mistake . it 's my place to take responsibility for it . taylor : what mistake ? bridget : i should have never taken your case . for one thing . and , um -- taylor : bridget , if you do n't want me as a patient -- bridget : no , taylor . i would n't say that at all . dr. caron : dr. forrester -- nick : we 're a little busy in here . dr. caron : i 'm sorry . i know . this ca n't wait . bridget : excuse me . dr. caron : you can not do what you were about to do in there . bridget : marsha , a mistake was made . dr. caron : we do n't know that . i am absolutely certain that the correct donor eggs were in the lab that night . bridget : the technician said that he used my mother 's eggs -- dr. caron : i do n't trust technicians . i trust you . bridget : i ca n't honestly say i remember which ones we used either . dr. caron : so why do you want to tell this couple something you 're not even sure of yourself ? that does n't strike you as irresponsible ? you know , mr. marone is your ex - husband . i suggest you examine your motives for wanting to undermine the happy , healthy pregnancy of the woman he 's married to now . [ scene_break ] christine : there were no witnesses ? stephanie : no . let me explain . um -- ridge 's wife , ex - wife , actually -- dr . hayes is a psychiatrist and she 's agreed to work with rick and try and help him to remember the incident . the shooting . ridge : she said that ? brooke : she 's willing to try . christine : if we can challenge that prior , tartaro will have a much tougher time proving murder one . but for it to be at all credible , it will have to come from someone who was there . stephanie : well taylor 's an excellent psychiatrist . he 'll remember . he better . brooke : we have to think about what this could do to him too . christine : speaking of psychiatrists , was shane mcgrath seeing one ? ridge : i would doubt it . i do n't think he could afford one . christine : at a clinic maybe ? anyone qualified to speak to his having suicidal tendencies . stephanie : i might be able to find that out . brooke : how ? the records are confidential . stephanie : brooke , i 'll do anything i can to help ridge . christine : well i 'm getting the sense that you may have done too much in that vein already . where was mr. mcgrath living ? ridge : in his car . christine : he could have left a note . has anyone looked ? stephanie : it was towed . christine : okay , i 'll check the police report . so , one last question . did you kill shane mcgrath ? ridge : i might have been responsible for the gun going off -- christine : no hair - splitting . just a yes or a no . consider your sense of what this question means , ridge . did you kill shane mcgrath ? ridge : no . christine : sounds like we 're all on the same page then . [ scene_break ] nick : what does she mean , a mistake ? everything 's gone perfectly , and on the first try . taylor : i do n't think she means that kind of mistake . nick : what other mistake would we care about ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i know how much nick wants that child . i want it for him , and for taylor . i have no hidden agenda . dr. caron : well , then you know better than anyone what significance it would have for mrs. marone to hear that her implanted egg might have been your mother 's . could it cause her to miscarry ? is that something you want to be responsible for ? and i do n't have to tell you that it could very well mean the end of our in vitro program . bridget : i had n't considered all that . dr. caron : granted , there were inconsistencies . and we will keep looking into it , i promise you . but you 've got to trust yourself . you 're thorough , you 're well trained , you 're an excellent doctor . you did n't halt the procedure because there was no reason to . [ scene_break ] guard : mr. forrester to see you . rick : my father asked me if i 'd been to see you . i could n't come up with a good reason why i had n't . we 're not brothers , but we are something . so i think we 'd better figure out how to stand each other . ridge : i agree . things have n't always been bad between us , rick . rick : i 'm glad you remember it that way . i do n't . ridge : yeah , well that may change . once a month , every month . taylor : okay , all right . i 'll be there as soon as i can , stephanie . no , it 's none of your business where i am . i 'll be there . okay .

[ scene_break ] rick : look ridge , the past ca n't be changed . all right ? so why do n't we just , figure out where to go from here ? ridge : rick , we have an opportunity here . i 'm glad you 're here . if someone else had approached you first , you 'd probably wonder why i did n't ask you first . rick : wait , approached me for what ? ridge : to help with my defense . rick : how ? ridge : that , i 'll have to leave to you and a few others to work out . rick : no . that 's not a good idea . ridge : just try and keep an open mind , will you ? you might have more information than you know you have . rick : i have way too much information on you , ridge . gathered over many , many years . and i 'm sorry , none of it 's very good . so why do n't we just keep this visit nice and short and sweet . ridge : what if someone were able to point the way . rick : what , to the extent that we have a relationship , ridge , what is it based on ? threats ? physical violence ? ridge : we do n't agree on how things should be with my daughter . before that , when you were a kid , i was there for you . i need you to be there for me now . rick : you were there for me ? you were there for me ? were you there for me when my mother cried herself to sleep over you ? night after night . my god , ridge . you shot one of her husbands . for years , i thought she might be next . were you there for me then ? [ scene_break ] dr. caron : how did it go with the marone 's ? bridget : oh , fine . we cleared the air about a few other things as well . you were right , marsha . the technician 's faulty memory is no reason to completely panic . i did n't have any red flags in my memory and i have to believe that dr. kimbro and i looked at the label on the donor eggs and those are the ones that we used . dr. caron : good . you had me worried . now , can i have you come with me , please ? dr. caron : i believe you know our chief of staff , dr. mills . bridget : oh yes , of course . dr. mills : how do you do ? and this is darius kahan , our head of legal affairs . we hear glowing reports about your work , dr. forrester . bridget : thank you . dr. mills : let 's all be seated , shall we ? you are an asset to university hospital . i hope to see you remain one . but now , this case of yours in the fertility clinic -- bridget : oh sir , the case is on it 's way to being resolved . dr. mills : oh , it 's all ready resolved . i investigated personally . bridget : oh . well , then you 're aware that there was some confusion between the donor eggs and the eggs that were harvested for research . dr. mills : not at all . the eggs from the donor selected by the marone 's were the ones fertilized . the record is very clear . bridget : with all do respect , sir . it was n't as clear to those of us who were actually in the room . dr. mills : that 's what records are for . the memory may cloud , but the record does not . bridget : but is there a chance that the records might be incorrect ? dr. mills : no , dr . forrester . you are incorrect . you 're second guessing yourself . classic error of the newly practicing physician . the kind of error you suspect could not happen at this institution . and we will not have mr . and mrs. marone or anyone else given to believe it could . [ scene_break ] taylor : shane 's affect was unsettling . you know , i always got this sense that he was reigning something in . something explosive and frightening -- even to himself . but , i did n't really get the feeling that he was suicidal , had any suicidal ideation . christine : well , it was still worth asking . and may i say , very gracious of you to offer your assistance , given the difficulty this case has already caused for you and your husband . taylor : well i know ridge , and i believe in him . my feeling is that , there was someone who strongly influenced ridge to act against his own best interest . stephanie : well , in case you did n't get that , she means me . taylor : did shane leave a note ? that 's very common . although , they 're not always found . christine : right , well we 're checking . but without it , we have no proof that what happened was a failed suicide intervention . all we have is ridge 's word on why he panicked and dumped the body , and that 's not going to carry a lot of weight . unless the jury can be shown how the chambers shooting affected his thinking , and that he was wrongly convicted . taylor , how long do you think you 're going to need to help rick forrester remember his part in all this ? taylor : it could happen in the first session . and then again , it may never happen . i -- in my internship , i worked a lot with recovered memory . and , believe it or not , it 's actually more difficult then less , to get someone to remember a specific incident . see , rick 's built up a lot of defenses , very strong ones , because he does n't want to believe that he could actually want to kill someone . and in order for me to get those defenses down , i have to make him feel very safe . and it will make him very vulnerable . christine : so , potentially , we 're looking at a long process ? brooke : yes . and that 's what i 'm worried about . taylor : well that 's why , ideally , it should take place in stages . he 'll go in and out of denial . he 'll try to come up with all kinds of alternative explanations as to why he 's starting to have these images and these feelings that go along with it . but , as a equalizing part of the treatment plan , i would be shoring up his sense of self worth and that he 's a good person that just acted impulsively and made a mistake . stephanie : taylor , we do n't have a lot of time . i think the d.a . 's going to push for a speedy trial . you know , this thing with rick has got to come a head , and quickly . taylor : no , stephanie . i just told you , rick will be very vulnerable and i 'm not going to do that to him .

[ scene_break ] guard : mr. forrester to see you . rick : my father asked me if i 'd been to see you . i could n't come up with a good reason why i had n't . we 're not brothers , but we are something . so i think we 'd better figure out how to stand each other . ridge : i agree . things have n't always been bad between us , rick . rick : i 'm glad you remember it that way . i do n't . ridge : yeah , well that may change . once a month , every month . taylor : okay , all right . i 'll be there as soon as i can , stephanie . no , it 's none of your business where i am . i 'll be there . okay .

[ scene_break ] rick : look ridge , the past ca n't be changed . all right ? so why do n't we just , figure out where to go from here ? ridge : rick , we have an opportunity here . i 'm glad you 're here . if someone else had approached you first , you 'd probably wonder why i did n't ask you first . rick : wait , approached me for what ? ridge : to help with my defense . rick : how ? ridge : that , i 'll have to leave to you and a few others to work out . rick : no . that 's not a good idea . ridge : just try and keep an open mind , will you ? you might have more information than you know you have . rick : i have way too much information on you , ridge . gathered over many , many years . and i 'm sorry , none of it 's very good . so why do n't we just keep this visit nice and short and sweet . ridge : what if someone were able to point the way . rick : what , to the extent that we have a relationship , ridge , what is it based on ? threats ? physical violence ? ridge : we do n't agree on how things should be with my daughter . before that , when you were a kid , i was there for you . i need you to be there for me now . rick : you were there for me ? you were there for me ? were you there for me when my mother cried herself to sleep over you ? night after night . my god , ridge . you shot one of her husbands . for years , i thought she might be next . were you there for me then ? [ scene_break ] dr. caron : how did it go with the marone 's ? bridget : oh , fine . we cleared the air about a few other things as well . you were right , marsha . the technician 's faulty memory is no reason to completely panic . i did n't have any red flags in my memory and i have to believe that dr. kimbro and i looked at the label on the donor eggs and those are the ones that we used . dr. caron : good . you had me worried . now , can i have you come with me , please ? dr. caron : i believe you know our chief of staff , dr. mills . bridget : oh yes , of course . dr. mills : how do you do ? and this is darius kahan , our head of legal affairs . we hear glowing reports about your work , dr. forrester . bridget : thank you . dr. mills : let 's all be seated , shall we ? you are an asset to university hospital . i hope to see you remain one . but now , this case of yours in the fertility clinic -- bridget : oh sir , the case is on it 's way to being resolved . dr. mills : oh , it 's all ready resolved . i investigated personally . bridget : oh . well , then you 're aware that there was some confusion between the donor eggs and the eggs that were harvested for research . dr. mills : not at all . the eggs from the donor selected by the marone 's were the ones fertilized . the record is very clear . bridget : with all do respect , sir . it was n't as clear to those of us who were actually in the room . dr. mills : that 's what records are for . the memory may cloud , but the record does not . bridget : but is there a chance that the records might be incorrect ? dr. mills : no , dr . forrester . you are incorrect . you 're second guessing yourself . classic error of the newly practicing physician . the kind of error you suspect could not happen at this institution . and we will not have mr . and mrs. marone or anyone else given to believe it could . [ scene_break ] taylor : shane 's affect was unsettling . you know , i always got this sense that he was reigning something in . something explosive and frightening -- even to himself . but , i did n't really get the feeling that he was suicidal , had any suicidal ideation . christine : well , it was still worth asking . and may i say , very gracious of you to offer your assistance , given the difficulty this case has already caused for you and your husband . taylor : well i know ridge , and i believe in him . my feeling is that , there was someone who strongly influenced ridge to act against his own best interest . stephanie : well , in case you did n't get that , she means me . taylor : did shane leave a note ? that 's very common . although , they 're not always found . christine : right , well we 're checking . but without it , we have no proof that what happened was a failed suicide intervention . all we have is ridge 's word on why he panicked and dumped the body , and that 's not going to carry a lot of weight . unless the jury can be shown how the chambers shooting affected his thinking , and that he was wrongly convicted . taylor , how long do you think you 're going to need to help rick forrester remember his part in all this ? taylor : it could happen in the first session . and then again , it may never happen . i -- in my internship , i worked a lot with recovered memory . and , believe it or not , it 's actually more difficult then less , to get someone to remember a specific incident . see , rick 's built up a lot of defenses , very strong ones , because he does n't want to believe that he could actually want to kill someone . and in order for me to get those defenses down , i have to make him feel very safe . and it will make him very vulnerable . christine : so , potentially , we 're looking at a long process ? brooke : yes . and that 's what i 'm worried about . taylor : well that 's why , ideally , it should take place in stages . he 'll go in and out of denial . he 'll try to come up with all kinds of alternative explanations as to why he 's starting to have these images and these feelings that go along with it . but , as a equalizing part of the treatment plan , i would be shoring up his sense of self worth and that he 's a good person that just acted impulsively and made a mistake . stephanie : taylor , we do n't have a lot of time . i think the d.a . 's going to push for a speedy trial . you know , this thing with rick has got to come a head , and quickly . taylor : no , stephanie . i just told you , rick will be very vulnerable and i 'm not going to do that to him .

[ scene_break ] valentin : i do love nina . i love her more now probably than i did the night we were married , because i 've actually spent time with her and i 've seen her courage and i 've seen her kindness . and that made the love grow stronger , but marriage is n't all about love . charlotte : yes , it is . the prince and the princess fall in love and get married and live happily ever after . the hard part is the beginning when he 's a beast , and she has to teach him to be nice . nina : mm , that is the hard part , but `` beauty & the beast `` is a fairy tale . valentin : and fairy tales do n't have community property and assets in common and entailments and liens ... charlotte : [ scoffs ] what are those ? valentin : well , those are -- those are legal terms , and when two people are married , then legally , they become one person . so if somebody has to go far away and answer some questions , that can create a lot of legal problems for the person left behind , and the best way to deal with that is to get a divorce , because that means everything is divided , and my problems do n't become nina 's problems . charlotte : i think that 's sad . i think if you love each other , you should get married and not worry about legal problems . nina : well , my goodness . charlotte , i should have talked to you before my brother and all the lawyers ganged up on me . charlotte : were they mean to you ? nina : they were mean to me ! they were mean to me ! they were talking about assets and cutting my losses and ... [ groans ] but you know what my biggest problem was ? i was uncertain , and i let them convince me of something that i did n't believe in . i did n't go with my heart . that was a mistake . charlotte : what does your heart tell you now ? valentin : charlotte , um , we 're gon na have to go or we 're gon na be late for class . charlotte : nina , can you come with us ? it 's right downstairs . nina : oh ! um , i just -- i would love to go with you . okay . [ scene_break ] scott : alexis , you 're doing a lot of backseat litigating here . julian : i want to hear what alexis has to say . alexis : we all knew how difficult it was gon na be to get him acquitted . julian : so , remind me again why we requested a bench trial ? alexis : because jurors are swayed by emotion , and the prosecution goes first . they 're gon na talk about olivia 's crimes and how you committed them with her , and they 're gon na lose all sympathy for you , and you wo n't be able to get it back . now , judge chua on the other hand has to follow the law and abide by the principles of reasonable doubt . scott : and about the witnesses . alexis : all they have heard from julian is that he was coerced . they just have his word on that , and none of them are gon na be devastated if he goes to prison . i mean , ned and olivia will be thrilled because leo gets to be a quartermaine , then . scott : do n't sugarcoat it here . julian : okay , you know , she 's right , scotty . alexis : any good that they can do for you for the defense is gon na be outweighed by the damage the prosecution can do when he asks them to expound on their negative feelings about julian . scott : so you 're saying that my defense has been worthless and harmful ? julian : that about nails it , yeah . scott : okay , well , then do you two geniuses have any ideas ? julian : put me on the stand , scotty . let me tell my story . [ scene_break ] jason : i was gone for two years , and when i came back , remembered my life , i realized i had to change , find a different way to live . you made the same choice , did n't you ? when you lost morgan . you wanted away from the violence , you wanted sonny out of the business . carly : what does that have to do with you lying to me ? sonny : i think , carly , what he 's trying to say is we have different priorities now . we used to react without thinking , lie to the cops , cover . now everything 's different . we have kids , we have family . so what used to work before does n't work now . jason : i could n't ask you to be a part of cover - up when this is a life that you do n't want to live . carly : okay . i mean , it makes sense , you know ? it does . but it makes me sad because ... you never used to think that way . you always knew that i was there for you , and , um ... well , i guess that 's just changed now , too . so ... jason : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you . carly : no , it 's okay . i just , um ... i just need some time to adjust , i guess . jason : thank you . sam : this is -- this is my fault . carly : hey . please stop saying that . no one blames you . you know ? you were n't in your right mind . the rest of us do n't have that excuse . [ laughs ] i understand why you did n't tell me , i do . i think it 's the wrong call , but i 'll just have to get over that . sonny : okay . since we all agree , then , uh , we 're not gon na say anything to anybody about sam 's involvement in the shooting . jason : you know what ? sam and i have to get home . there are two little people that really want to see their mom , so ... bye . carly : bye . sonny : you all right ? carly : no . okay , just out of curiosity , if the positions were reversed , and you were the one that was shut out and lied to , how do you think you 'd feel ? sonny : i would hate it . carly : then why did you do it to me ? once we were home , why not tell me the truth ? sonny : because i just got you back , and i did n't want to fight . and -- i knew that if i told you the truth , that i was keeping a secret , that you would doubt me , and i love you and i do n't -- i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what -- what did just you say ? sonny : i said i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what ? sonny : what ? carly : when did you start saying you were n't perfect ? you 're the most arrogant man i know ! the only time you pretend to be humble is when you know you 've screwed up , and you want me to forgive you . sonny : 'cause most of the time it works . carly : it 's not working . you know why ? because you 're not even genuinely sorry ! sonny : yes , i am ! i would have said something at the hospital , but because of the reasons you just said , i did n't . but i admit , when i came home , i should have said something . carly : thank you . sonny : okay . carly : i know it 's not completely your fault because jason did n't want to tell me , either . sonny : right . carly : i do n't know why that surprises me . [ scene_break ] jason : here you go . sam : thank you . jason : molly just texted . she said we have half an hour before she brings the kids home . so ... sam : good . you know , i 'm hoping once they 're in my arms , i can forget about what i did to sonny . jason : sonny has forgiven you . eventually , you 'll forgive yourself . i promise you , we 're gon na find a way to get past this . sam : i know . i just do n't understand how this happened in the first place . i knew for weeks that something was wrong with me , and i do n't know why i did n't ask you for help . why did n't i trust you ? [ scene_break ] scott : there is no way i 'm gon na put you on the witness stand and let the da cross - examine you . he will chew you up and spit you out . julian : you know , i can handle myself . scott : alexis , would you tell him what a disaster this would be ? alexis : as a rule , i do n't believe in putting defendants on the stand , but in this case , i think he should take the stand . i do . i think he should tell his story , and i -- i have faith that he will do it justice . julian : um , olivia , my sister -- she came back to port charles last year , and she was , uh ... she was definitely hell - bent on revenge . she tried to force me to kill alexis . so i had to come up with a plan . i staged the incident down at the docks to make it look like i was gon na kill alexis , but i had every intention -- i had every intention of letting her go . and then i was going to leave the country . unfortunately , sonny corinthos ruined those plans . it was after that that my sister stepped up her threats to include my three children . she put my son leo in the hospital just to make her point , and then she kidnapped my daughter sam just as she was about to give birth . [ sighs ] and then i had to witness alexis handcuffed to the bridge . and i was told yet again that i had to kill her . [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm sorry . going on about the diamond and everything , it must seem so trivial with what you 're going through . finn : in a roundabout way , those diamonds brought us closer together . you know , hayden was so desperate to hang onto them , and she got sick , and when elizabeth turned them over to the police , they really did become trivial . anna : yeah . finn : how 'd you come to have that one ? anna : oh , yeah . this -- it was , um ... it was embedded in this little keepsake that spencer cassadine made for my granddaughter . finn : he must have found it at wyndemere . anna : yeah . well , that 's what elizabeth thought , too . however ... i -- i had it examined by a jeweler , and he said that it actually is n't part of the original diamond necklace that raymond berlin gave to his wife . all right , so apparently , this diamond was stolen by a ring of jewel thieves out of eastern europe , and the money that they made from the sale of these gems financed larger crimes , which is what puts it in the purview of the wsb , which is why i 'm investigating . finn : yeah , international jewel thieves . that sounds more like the realm of nikolas cassadine , not hayden . after all , it was his house . anna : yeah , you could be right . yeah , nikolas -- he certainly had his share of shady dealings , but unfortunately , i ca n't ask him . but i can question hayden . finn : i have no idea where she is , anna , but i 'm gon na find her -- i promise you , and then you can ask her yourself . anna : forgive me for saying this , but it really does n't sound like she wants to be found . [ scene_break ] scott : now , take a moment . i know this has been trying . campbell : objection , your honor . this is pure spectacle ! you 're being manipulated . judge chua : i do n't need you to tell me how i 'm supposed to feel , counselor . sit down . scott : are you ready to continue ? julian : yeah . thank you . scott : okay . so , what ultimately happened with you and your sister ? julian : well , after i shot the handcuffs off alexis , i had to block olivia 's shot so alexis would n't get hit , and , uh ... at which point , olivia shot me , and i fell off the bridge . i , uh , obviously survived the fall and when i came to , i had realized what was going on . i realized that olivia had been locked up . and i admit that i did try to leave town , but i mean , it was n't to avoid justice . it was just to put some distance between me and my family . i 'd honestly rather never see my family again than to see them in danger . campbell : mr. jerome , years ago , you shot your sister , is that correct ? scott : objection ! relevance ! judge chua : overruled . answer the question . julian : i thought my sister was dead . campbell : by your hand . julian : i paid for that crime . i gave up my life . i spent years in the witness protection program . campbell : why did your sister choose to return last year ? did it have something to do with duke lavery ? scott : objection , your honor . again , relevance ! judge chua : i 'll allow it . julian : my sister was in love with duke lavery , yeah . campbell : and you killed him . scott : objection , your honor . it is public record that carlos rivera killed duke lavery ! campbell : by mr. jerome 's orders ! scott : your honor ! judge chua : move on , mr. campbell . campbell : your sister olivia showed up in town , and you never told the authorities . julian : no , i did not . campbell : she killed morgan corinthos , kidnapped dr. robin scorpio drake , she almost blew up general hospital with everyone in it , and you did nothing to stop it . julian : look , i -- campbell : in fact , you helped her ! julian : i know what my part was in this , but that 's not how it went down . campbell : thank you ! thank you ! no further questions . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you wish to redirect ? scott : yes , i do . is n't it true that you did your sister 's bidding because she was threatening you ? julian : yes , i -- i was trying to protect my children and the woman i love . my devotion to them obscured my reason . olivia is locked away now . my daughter and my granddaughter are safe and so are lucas and leo , and as are you , alexis . i understand that my actions may be judged as wrong , and i may be put away in prison , but honestly , if that was the price i had to pay to protect my children and my family , then ... then i 'm okay with that . scott : the defense rests . [ scene_break ] finn : you think hayden 's gone for good ? anna : i do n't know . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . i do n't know enough about what went on between the two of you to speculate . i 'm just gon na focus on the diamond . finn : you know , maybe hayden 's father can help you . yeah , i mean , any diamonds she had , they came from him , and she did go visit him a few days ago . he 's at the green briar federal penitentiary . anna : all right . i guess i 'll pay a visit to mr. berlin . finn : mm . maybe do n't mention to him that hayden just vanished . i mean , why worry him ? anna : i wo n't -- i wo n't mention that she disappeared . of course not . finn : okay . anna : can you do me a favor and not tell anyone about the diamond and the connection to the jewel thieves ? just keep that confidential ? finn : i wo n't say anything . i do n't really have anyone to talk to anyway , and i ca n't imagine anyone here has ties to international jewel thieves . anna : i do know one person . [ scene_break ] nina : i 'm just gon na say it -- charlotte is the best dancer in that group . valentin : you did n't even stay for the whole performance . nina : i did n't need to . i saw the warm - up . that was enough . valentin : you 're not just a little bit biased ? nina : i 'm completely biased . completely . charlotte 's incredible . she 's bright , she 's graceful . that little girl can do anything she 's made up her mind to do . valentin : well , selfishly , i hope you 're right . nina : why do you say `` selfishly ? `` valentin : because she 's made up her mind to bring us back together . [ scene_break ] campbell : the defendant aided and abetted a fugitive who terrorized this community and caused the horrific death of morgan corinthos . not because he was coerced , but , as we heard from mr. rudge , because he agreed with his sister and supported her goals . so , yes , mr. jerome does care about his family -- his organized crime family . scott : ultimately , mr. jerome almost died on the bridge that night . he was willing to sacrifice his life for his family . if he is guilty of anything , it 's that he loves his family too much , and , your honor , that is not a crime . judge chua : i will retire to my chambers to review evidence and testimony . this court is in recess . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . alexis : julian . i 'm sorry for everything that you went through . julian : thanks . i just had to do what i had to do .

[ sighs ] just when , um , you know , when things are kind of spiraling and i 'm feeling lost , that 's when i miss who jason used to be . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't think you can apply logic to what 's happened to you . sam : i know . it just does n't make any sense that i would listen to that crazy voice in my head . why would n't i remember that you are my biggest champion ? that i can talk to you about anything . you would have just told me that sonny was a friend , and i did n't have to worry about him . jason : that infection you suffered was very powerful . you were n't in your right mind . sam : i know , and i 've always believed the connection between us was so strong we could overcome anything or anyone , but i feel like ... this time , it failed me , and i do n't understand why . [ scene_break ] anna : the warden says that raymond berlin refuses to meet with me , that he 's only taking visits from his attorney and family members . finn : you 're a wsb agent . i mean , ca n't you , you know , like , pull rank or something ? anna : sure , i can compel him to sit opposite me at a table , and i can fire questions at him , but it 's not gon na do me any good if he refuses to cooperate . finn : mm . anna : of course , he might be a bit more receptive to you . finn : me ? anna : mm - hmm . finn : [ scoffs ] no , i 've told you everything i know about those diamonds . i do n't think i 'm gon na start asking hayden 's father about them . anna : well , i mean , what if there 's some kind of connection between hayden 's disappearance and the diamonds ? you know , what if , like , maybe she had more stones stashed than just the ones that were on the necklace , and she 's using those diamonds -- one like this one -- to pay for her getaway . finn : you 're reaching . anna : yeah , okay , but there 's only one way to find out -- if you take me with you when you visit mr. berlin . [ scene_break ] julian : so , what do you think my chances are of getting acquitted ? alexis : i think you have a chance . julian : then what happens to us ? scott : hey , julian ! you were a real champ up there . i could n't have asked for anything more . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : mm . well , that was fast . julian : what are you talking about ? scott : the clerk . they want all parties in the courtroom in half an hour . the judge has reached a verdict .

[ laughs ] do n't ever do this to me again . sonny : carly , i 'm -- carly : no , i 'm not going to ask you to promise to never keep a secret from me because i know that 's just setting us up to fail . but there 's a difference between family and business , so ... do n't ever keep a secret from me about family again . sonny : i wo n't . [ scene_break ] jason : that illness almost killed you . nothing you did while you were sick was your fault . you understand that . sam : you kept asking me over and over if i was okay , and i knew for weeks that i was n't . why could n't i be honest with you , of all people ? what if that connection we shared is lost because of me ? jason : okay . i 'm gon na stop you . we have n't lost the connection between us . that 's not gon na happen . you can trust in that . you can trust me . sam : i do . i trust you . i just do n't know if i trust myself anymore .

[ scene_break ] finn : last i heard , the diamonds were in federal custody . i never heard that one was missing . i doubt hayden did , either . anna : yeah . possibly . but i can ask her that , right ? finn : uh , yes . lucy : hey , finn . finn : lucy . how did you find me ? lucy : oh , um , amy driscoll . anna . anna : hi , lucy . lucy : hello . hey , uh , look , i 'm very sorry to bother you at a time like this . i just , uh , need to know what you want to do regarding the house that you and hayden were gon na purchase . i would completely understand if you want to back out of that contract . finn : why would you say that ? lucy : oh ! well , instead of you two getting married , hayden left you and general hospital and port charles , and it does n't look like she 's returning . [ scene_break ] scott : hey , why the long faces ? i got plenty of witnesses . put leo 's mother on the stand . she will testify how your sister put your baby boy in the hospital . julian : she only has my word that my sister was behind leo 's health scare . scott : well , then there 's lucas . he 'll say how you sacrificed your life for your family . julian : lucas is still furious with me . scott : yeah , but we can count on him . julian : no . scott : well , then there 's sam . alexis : sam just got out of the hospital , and even if she were well enough to testify , she would classified a hostile witness . scott : oh , for crying out loud . then i 'll put you back up on the stand . alexis : right , because my first appearance just knocked it out of the park . scott : yeah , but -- alexis : listen , any point you make with olivia quartermaine , with sam , or with lucas , the da is gon na be able to counter on cross , and julian has hurt them all . i 'm sure you know that . i 'm sure you know that , too . [ scene_break ] carly : i can almost excuse sonny for what he did . i mean , for one thing , you were shot , and you spent 24 hours in a hole in the ground . then you were drugged from surgery , and i 'm sure you did n't want to say anything at the hospital because you did n't want anyone to overhear . but all that changed once we got home . you could have told me any time . sonny : it was not only my secret to tell , carly . it was jason and sam 's . carly : sam did n't want to keep the secret ! you did . my best friend . the one person i could always count on . always trusted . i thought you trusted me the same way . why would you shut me out ? jason : things are different now . we 're different . carly : why ? jason : because now we know what we stand to lose . [ scene_break ] lucy : well , she did pack up all her things the morning that you two were supposed to be married and just disappeared , and the only thing she left behind was her engagement ring . i do n't know , does that sound like a woman who is returning or who even wants to be found ? anna : oh , i do n't know that . i do n't know enough about the situation to speculate . finn : hey , uh , i think you wasted your time coming here , all right ? i 'm gon na find hayden , and when i do , we 're gon na move into that house , and i 'm gon na rip out that damn tennis court with my own hands , and we 're gon na put in a slide and a swing and a sprinkler set for the kids to run through . so , no . no , i am buying that damn house , okay ? lucy : okay , i 'm sorry . look , i will just see you at the closing , okay ? i 'll see you there . finn : yes ! lucy : ta . [ sighs ] anna : i 'm so sorry . i did n't know anything about what was going on . finn : hayden and i have a lot to work through , but we will . i just need to find her first . [ scene_break ] valentin : i do love nina . i love her more now probably than i did the night we were married , because i 've actually spent time with her and i 've seen her courage and i 've seen her kindness . and that made the love grow stronger , but marriage is n't all about love . charlotte : yes , it is . the prince and the princess fall in love and get married and live happily ever after . the hard part is the beginning when he 's a beast , and she has to teach him to be nice . nina : mm , that is the hard part , but `` beauty & the beast `` is a fairy tale . valentin : and fairy tales do n't have community property and assets in common and entailments and liens ... charlotte : [ scoffs ] what are those ? valentin : well , those are -- those are legal terms , and when two people are married , then legally , they become one person . so if somebody has to go far away and answer some questions , that can create a lot of legal problems for the person left behind , and the best way to deal with that is to get a divorce , because that means everything is divided , and my problems do n't become nina 's problems . charlotte : i think that 's sad . i think if you love each other , you should get married and not worry about legal problems . nina : well , my goodness . charlotte , i should have talked to you before my brother and all the lawyers ganged up on me . charlotte : were they mean to you ? nina : they were mean to me ! they were mean to me ! they were talking about assets and cutting my losses and ... [ groans ] but you know what my biggest problem was ? i was uncertain , and i let them convince me of something that i did n't believe in . i did n't go with my heart . that was a mistake . charlotte : what does your heart tell you now ? valentin : charlotte , um , we 're gon na have to go or we 're gon na be late for class . charlotte : nina , can you come with us ? it 's right downstairs . nina : oh ! um , i just -- i would love to go with you . okay . [ scene_break ] scott : alexis , you 're doing a lot of backseat litigating here . julian : i want to hear what alexis has to say . alexis : we all knew how difficult it was gon na be to get him acquitted . julian : so , remind me again why we requested a bench trial ? alexis : because jurors are swayed by emotion , and the prosecution goes first . they 're gon na talk about olivia 's crimes and how you committed them with her , and they 're gon na lose all sympathy for you , and you wo n't be able to get it back . now , judge chua on the other hand has to follow the law and abide by the principles of reasonable doubt . scott : and about the witnesses . alexis : all they have heard from julian is that he was coerced . they just have his word on that , and none of them are gon na be devastated if he goes to prison . i mean , ned and olivia will be thrilled because leo gets to be a quartermaine , then . scott : do n't sugarcoat it here . julian : okay , you know , she 's right , scotty . alexis : any good that they can do for you for the defense is gon na be outweighed by the damage the prosecution can do when he asks them to expound on their negative feelings about julian . scott : so you 're saying that my defense has been worthless and harmful ? julian : that about nails it , yeah . scott : okay , well , then do you two geniuses have any ideas ? julian : put me on the stand , scotty . let me tell my story . [ scene_break ] jason : i was gone for two years , and when i came back , remembered my life , i realized i had to change , find a different way to live . you made the same choice , did n't you ? when you lost morgan . you wanted away from the violence , you wanted sonny out of the business . carly : what does that have to do with you lying to me ? sonny : i think , carly , what he 's trying to say is we have different priorities now . we used to react without thinking , lie to the cops , cover . now everything 's different . we have kids , we have family . so what used to work before does n't work now . jason : i could n't ask you to be a part of cover - up when this is a life that you do n't want to live . carly : okay . i mean , it makes sense , you know ? it does . but it makes me sad because ... you never used to think that way . you always knew that i was there for you , and , um ... well , i guess that 's just changed now , too . so ... jason : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you . carly : no , it 's okay . i just , um ... i just need some time to adjust , i guess . jason : thank you . sam : this is -- this is my fault . carly : hey . please stop saying that . no one blames you . you know ? you were n't in your right mind . the rest of us do n't have that excuse . [ laughs ] i understand why you did n't tell me , i do . i think it 's the wrong call , but i 'll just have to get over that . sonny : okay . since we all agree , then , uh , we 're not gon na say anything to anybody about sam 's involvement in the shooting . jason : you know what ? sam and i have to get home . there are two little people that really want to see their mom , so ... bye . carly : bye . sonny : you all right ? carly : no . okay , just out of curiosity , if the positions were reversed , and you were the one that was shut out and lied to , how do you think you 'd feel ? sonny : i would hate it . carly : then why did you do it to me ? once we were home , why not tell me the truth ? sonny : because i just got you back , and i did n't want to fight . and -- i knew that if i told you the truth , that i was keeping a secret , that you would doubt me , and i love you and i do n't -- i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what -- what did just you say ? sonny : i said i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what ? sonny : what ? carly : when did you start saying you were n't perfect ? you 're the most arrogant man i know ! the only time you pretend to be humble is when you know you 've screwed up , and you want me to forgive you . sonny : 'cause most of the time it works . carly : it 's not working . you know why ? because you 're not even genuinely sorry ! sonny : yes , i am ! i would have said something at the hospital , but because of the reasons you just said , i did n't . but i admit , when i came home , i should have said something . carly : thank you . sonny : okay . carly : i know it 's not completely your fault because jason did n't want to tell me , either . sonny : right . carly : i do n't know why that surprises me . [ scene_break ] jason : here you go . sam : thank you . jason : molly just texted . she said we have half an hour before she brings the kids home . so ... sam : good . you know , i 'm hoping once they 're in my arms , i can forget about what i did to sonny . jason : sonny has forgiven you . eventually , you 'll forgive yourself . i promise you , we 're gon na find a way to get past this . sam : i know . i just do n't understand how this happened in the first place . i knew for weeks that something was wrong with me , and i do n't know why i did n't ask you for help . why did n't i trust you ? [ scene_break ] scott : there is no way i 'm gon na put you on the witness stand and let the da cross - examine you . he will chew you up and spit you out . julian : you know , i can handle myself . scott : alexis , would you tell him what a disaster this would be ? alexis : as a rule , i do n't believe in putting defendants on the stand , but in this case , i think he should take the stand . i do . i think he should tell his story , and i -- i have faith that he will do it justice . julian : um , olivia , my sister -- she came back to port charles last year , and she was , uh ... she was definitely hell - bent on revenge . she tried to force me to kill alexis . so i had to come up with a plan . i staged the incident down at the docks to make it look like i was gon na kill alexis , but i had every intention -- i had every intention of letting her go . and then i was going to leave the country . unfortunately , sonny corinthos ruined those plans . it was after that that my sister stepped up her threats to include my three children . she put my son leo in the hospital just to make her point , and then she kidnapped my daughter sam just as she was about to give birth . [ sighs ] and then i had to witness alexis handcuffed to the bridge . and i was told yet again that i had to kill her . [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm sorry . going on about the diamond and everything , it must seem so trivial with what you 're going through . finn : in a roundabout way , those diamonds brought us closer together . you know , hayden was so desperate to hang onto them , and she got sick , and when elizabeth turned them over to the police , they really did become trivial . anna : yeah . finn : how 'd you come to have that one ? anna : oh , yeah . this -- it was , um ... it was embedded in this little keepsake that spencer cassadine made for my granddaughter . finn : he must have found it at wyndemere . anna : yeah . well , that 's what elizabeth thought , too . however ... i -- i had it examined by a jeweler , and he said that it actually is n't part of the original diamond necklace that raymond berlin gave to his wife . all right , so apparently , this diamond was stolen by a ring of jewel thieves out of eastern europe , and the money that they made from the sale of these gems financed larger crimes , which is what puts it in the purview of the wsb , which is why i 'm investigating . finn : yeah , international jewel thieves . that sounds more like the realm of nikolas cassadine , not hayden . after all , it was his house . anna : yeah , you could be right . yeah , nikolas -- he certainly had his share of shady dealings , but unfortunately , i ca n't ask him . but i can question hayden . finn : i have no idea where she is , anna , but i 'm gon na find her -- i promise you , and then you can ask her yourself . anna : forgive me for saying this , but it really does n't sound like she wants to be found . [ scene_break ] scott : now , take a moment . i know this has been trying . campbell : objection , your honor . this is pure spectacle ! you 're being manipulated . judge chua : i do n't need you to tell me how i 'm supposed to feel , counselor . sit down . scott : are you ready to continue ? julian : yeah . thank you . scott : okay . so , what ultimately happened with you and your sister ? julian : well , after i shot the handcuffs off alexis , i had to block olivia 's shot so alexis would n't get hit , and , uh ... at which point , olivia shot me , and i fell off the bridge . i , uh , obviously survived the fall and when i came to , i had realized what was going on . i realized that olivia had been locked up . and i admit that i did try to leave town , but i mean , it was n't to avoid justice . it was just to put some distance between me and my family . i 'd honestly rather never see my family again than to see them in danger . campbell : mr. jerome , years ago , you shot your sister , is that correct ? scott : objection ! relevance ! judge chua : overruled . answer the question . julian : i thought my sister was dead . campbell : by your hand . julian : i paid for that crime . i gave up my life . i spent years in the witness protection program . campbell : why did your sister choose to return last year ? did it have something to do with duke lavery ? scott : objection , your honor . again , relevance ! judge chua : i 'll allow it . julian : my sister was in love with duke lavery , yeah . campbell : and you killed him . scott : objection , your honor . it is public record that carlos rivera killed duke lavery ! campbell : by mr. jerome 's orders ! scott : your honor ! judge chua : move on , mr. campbell . campbell : your sister olivia showed up in town , and you never told the authorities . julian : no , i did not . campbell : she killed morgan corinthos , kidnapped dr. robin scorpio drake , she almost blew up general hospital with everyone in it , and you did nothing to stop it . julian : look , i -- campbell : in fact , you helped her ! julian : i know what my part was in this , but that 's not how it went down . campbell : thank you ! thank you ! no further questions . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you wish to redirect ? scott : yes , i do . is n't it true that you did your sister 's bidding because she was threatening you ? julian : yes , i -- i was trying to protect my children and the woman i love . my devotion to them obscured my reason . olivia is locked away now . my daughter and my granddaughter are safe and so are lucas and leo , and as are you , alexis . i understand that my actions may be judged as wrong , and i may be put away in prison , but honestly , if that was the price i had to pay to protect my children and my family , then ... then i 'm okay with that . scott : the defense rests . [ scene_break ] finn : you think hayden 's gone for good ? anna : i do n't know . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . i do n't know enough about what went on between the two of you to speculate . i 'm just gon na focus on the diamond . finn : you know , maybe hayden 's father can help you . yeah , i mean , any diamonds she had , they came from him , and she did go visit him a few days ago . he 's at the green briar federal penitentiary . anna : all right . i guess i 'll pay a visit to mr. berlin . finn : mm . maybe do n't mention to him that hayden just vanished . i mean , why worry him ? anna : i wo n't -- i wo n't mention that she disappeared . of course not . finn : okay . anna : can you do me a favor and not tell anyone about the diamond and the connection to the jewel thieves ? just keep that confidential ? finn : i wo n't say anything . i do n't really have anyone to talk to anyway , and i ca n't imagine anyone here has ties to international jewel thieves . anna : i do know one person . [ scene_break ] nina : i 'm just gon na say it -- charlotte is the best dancer in that group . valentin : you did n't even stay for the whole performance . nina : i did n't need to . i saw the warm - up . that was enough . valentin : you 're not just a little bit biased ? nina : i 'm completely biased . completely . charlotte 's incredible . she 's bright , she 's graceful . that little girl can do anything she 's made up her mind to do . valentin : well , selfishly , i hope you 're right . nina : why do you say `` selfishly ? `` valentin : because she 's made up her mind to bring us back together . [ scene_break ] campbell : the defendant aided and abetted a fugitive who terrorized this community and caused the horrific death of morgan corinthos . not because he was coerced , but , as we heard from mr. rudge , because he agreed with his sister and supported her goals . so , yes , mr. jerome does care about his family -- his organized crime family . scott : ultimately , mr. jerome almost died on the bridge that night . he was willing to sacrifice his life for his family . if he is guilty of anything , it 's that he loves his family too much , and , your honor , that is not a crime . judge chua : i will retire to my chambers to review evidence and testimony . this court is in recess . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . alexis : julian . i 'm sorry for everything that you went through . julian : thanks . i just had to do what i had to do . [ scene_break ] carly : jason 's different since he came back , and i know this , you know ? i know this , intellectually . it 's just emotionally , i have to keep learning that lesson over and over again . sonny : you know , i feel the same way . you know the distillery project ? my first thought was to bring jason into it because he would be great at overseeing the day - to - day operations , and most important , we could work together in something legit . well , he turned me down . carly : why ? sonny : he said it would send the wrong message , that it implies that the distillery project is a front and people would think that he 's in the business . carly : wow . sonny : now , i mean , look , it could happen , but -- it kind of hurt my feelings . carly : oh ! sonny : i mean , you know ... carly : jason would never have thought that before . sonny : yeah . carly : i mean , he never would have thought about risk or perception . those thoughts would have never crossed his mind . and i get that his life is different now . i do . you know , he and sam have two kids , and their priorities are different , and i can understand that , you know , day to day . it 's just ... [ sighs ] just when , um , you know , when things are kind of spiraling and i 'm feeling lost , that 's when i miss who jason used to be . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't think you can apply logic to what 's happened to you . sam : i know . it just does n't make any sense that i would listen to that crazy voice in my head . why would n't i remember that you are my biggest champion ? that i can talk to you about anything . you would have just told me that sonny was a friend , and i did n't have to worry about him . jason : that infection you suffered was very powerful . you were n't in your right mind . sam : i know , and i 've always believed the connection between us was so strong we could overcome anything or anyone , but i feel like ... this time , it failed me , and i do n't understand why . [ scene_break ] anna : the warden says that raymond berlin refuses to meet with me , that he 's only taking visits from his attorney and family members . finn : you 're a wsb agent . i mean , ca n't you , you know , like , pull rank or something ? anna : sure , i can compel him to sit opposite me at a table , and i can fire questions at him , but it 's not gon na do me any good if he refuses to cooperate . finn : mm . anna : of course , he might be a bit more receptive to you . finn : me ? anna : mm - hmm . finn : [ scoffs ] no , i 've told you everything i know about those diamonds . i do n't think i 'm gon na start asking hayden 's father about them . anna : well , i mean , what if there 's some kind of connection between hayden 's disappearance and the diamonds ? you know , what if , like , maybe she had more stones stashed than just the ones that were on the necklace , and she 's using those diamonds -- one like this one -- to pay for her getaway . finn : you 're reaching . anna : yeah , okay , but there 's only one way to find out -- if you take me with you when you visit mr. berlin . [ scene_break ] julian : so , what do you think my chances are of getting acquitted ? alexis : i think you have a chance . julian : then what happens to us ? scott : hey , julian ! you were a real champ up there . i could n't have asked for anything more . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : mm . well , that was fast . julian : what are you talking about ? scott : the clerk . they want all parties in the courtroom in half an hour . the judge has reached a verdict .

[ laughs ] do n't ever do this to me again . sonny : carly , i 'm -- carly : no , i 'm not going to ask you to promise to never keep a secret from me because i know that 's just setting us up to fail . but there 's a difference between family and business , so ... do n't ever keep a secret from me about family again . sonny : i wo n't . [ scene_break ] jason : that illness almost killed you . nothing you did while you were sick was your fault . you understand that . sam : you kept asking me over and over if i was okay , and i knew for weeks that i was n't . why could n't i be honest with you , of all people ? what if that connection we shared is lost because of me ? jason : okay . i 'm gon na stop you . we have n't lost the connection between us . that 's not gon na happen . you can trust in that . you can trust me . sam : i do . i trust you . i just do n't know if i trust myself anymore .

what 's your name ? connie . chelsea : okay . i have a feeling it 's not really connie , though . i know you 're scared . i want you to know that i 'm on your side , and i 'm here to help you . i just -- i just want to know who i 'm helping . crystal . chelsea : crystal . okay . okay , crystal , are you hurt ? do you need any medical attention or anything ? what happened ? what are you afraid of ? you seem very scared . um , do you -- do you have family , maybe somebody that we can call ? no . chelsea : it 's okay ! do n't worry ! it 's okay . nobody is gon na make you do anything you do n't want to do . hilary : jordan , why are you acting this way ? jordan : seriously ? you have to ask ? lily is going through hell right now . her kids have had their world turned upside - down . she 's the one that 's trying to hold it together , the lone bread - winner . hilary : you 're acting like cane has been out of work for a year . you see the way they live . it 's not like they 're hurting for money . jordan : the tv spot that she auditioned for was a big deal for her , and you knew that . yet you -- you just could n't let her have it . you just had to go behind her back and put it on tape and then snake her whole commercial from her . hilary : excuse me ? her commercial ? lily : i went online to pay the kids ' tuition , which is due now , and the money that we put aside in their savings account was n't there . so i call the bank , and apparently , some large transfer 's been made by you . what 's going on ? cane : okay , um ... after my job offer at jabot fell through , i realized i needed to try and make some money so i could take the pressure off you and this -- this short - term investment opportunity came up , and i had to act on it immediately , and it 's -- it 's not gon na make us a lot of money , but it 's gon na be worthwhile . okay ? billy : knock , knock . we have a visitor in the building . remember our favorite cameraman , jesse ? victoria : what 's he doing here ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 've had a long day . hi , jesse . what brings you to genoa city ? billy : he had a meeting with our favorite ex - employee , cane . victoria : about what ? billy : about the behind - the - scenes footage that he shot while i was talking to the hockey players . all of the footage . i decided to give , uh , jesse here an option . he can either tell us about the deal he made with cane , or he can tell the police . jesse : look , man , you were the one talking trash with the players . i taped it , gave you what i had . end of story . billy : it 's not the end of the story , jesse , because the end of story did n't make it into the final cut . jesse : i have n't broken any laws . billy : no ? you sure ? what about that wad of money that 's gon na be found in your bank account ? that 's gon na raise some uncomfortable questions if you decide to go to the police . on the other hand , i 'm sure victoria here would be willing to pay for the information . is n't that right , vick ? victoria : absolutely . zack : here you go . abby : thank you . ashley : thank you so much . zack : of course . to health and success . ashley : cheers . abby : cheers . ashley : so , zack , we never got a chance to really get to know each other when we met at the benefit . zack : yeah , a pity . that was , uh , technically our third date , was n't it ? abby : yes . i just wish it had n't been so drama - filled . ashley : those newmans . they really like to shake things up . [ laughter ] zack : i thought abby 's step - mother played beautifully , and they raised a ton of money for m.s . research . so , aside from the little punch - out in the parking garage , i think it was a pretty good night . ca n't wait for the next one . abby : yeah . [ cellphone rings ] oh ! um , i am so sorry . i have to take this . it 's super- important . um , excuse me . ashley : so , tell me about yourself . charlie : let me guess -- the chump went running to you after he and i talked ? mattie : you need to stop acting like such a jerk , charlie . do n't take it out on reed because you 're mad about everything that 's going on at home . look , i want to hear reed play at open mic tonight , but i do n't want it to be a thing with mom and dad . charlie : so , what does that mean , you 're gon na lie ? mattie : they 're dealing with enough right now , would n't you say ? i do n't want to add to that . it 's not like i 'm sneaking around the way you have . plus , mom knows reed and i are friends . charlie : you 've just got so much going for you . i do n't think this guy 's worth it . i -- i do n't know why you 're doing this , but i know why he is . i know what guys are like . mattie : but you do n't know him . charlie , please , i never ask you for anything . charlie : okay . mattie : thank you . reed : hey , nick ! nick : oh ! hey , bud . a little early , are n't you ? reed : yeah . i wanted to lock in a slot . nick : okay . got anybody special coming ? reed : [ sighs ] i think . you know ... nick : done . consider yourself a headliner . reed : right on , man . thanks . nick : sure . sure . hey , uh , how 's your mom ? she took that fall at the benefit concert . she swears she 's okay , but i wanted to get your take on it . reed : she went to a doctor and got all checked out , and everything 's good , so it does n't look like she 's gon na be suing aunt abby anytime soon . 'cause she threw the drink in her face . i was just kidding . nick : no , no , no . i got it . um , if i were you , i would n't be joking around about lawsuits in front of your mom right now . billy : so what 's it gon na be , jesse ? i mean , come on . we almost had a deal , and then you changed your mind . did you and cane finally agree on a price ? victoria : billy , stop . that 's enough . whatever financial arrangement that cane made with jesse , that 's their business . but for the right information , or maybe the right piece of footage , i 'd be willing to pay double . billy : whoa . victoria . okay , i mean , hey , you 're the boss . but just so you know , i know that you 're lying , okay ? so if you want to take the chance , put your ass on the line because of some misguided loyalty to cane ... jesse : you kidding me ? no way . victoria : good , because the tv spot that we never got to use cost my company a small fortune . billy : do you know who this is , jesse ? this is victoria newman . victor newman 's daughter . now , that might not mean a lot to you in the city of angels , but around here , it means a whole hell of a lot , and we have enough connections to make sure that you never work again . do you understand me ? jesse : you ca n't put this on me . look , i had no idea that footage was gon na air on tv . and neither did cane . that was n't the plan . billy : what was the plan ? jesse : [ scoffs ] cane paid me to edit the footage , to end it with you talking about gambling with the players and to cut the part where you said you were joking . victoria : why ? jesse : to make billy look bad to the hockey league . i mean , the rest -- that was just crappy luck . billy : i assume that you have proof of that . jesse : mm - hmm . yeah , i got the memory card with all the footage . billy : let 's see it . victoria : i said i would double cane 's investment . a deal 's a deal . how much ? jesse : uh ... that 's $ 50,000 . here you go . billy : is this the only copy ? jesse : it 's the original . i swear . billy : thank you very much , jesse . now you can get out of here , you blackmailing scumbag . jesse : no , but the money . i mean , you -- billy : we lied , all right ? victoria : you got a cash payout from cane for $ 25,000 . now you get to walk out of here and go home . i suggest you do that before i change my mind . jesse : [ scoffs ] what are you gon na do now that you know ? victoria : why do n't you stick around and find out ? billy : [ exhales sharply ] damn . we 're good . chelsea : so far , all i 've learned is that her name is crystal . i asked if she had any family , anybody that she wanted us to call , and it just made her more upset . nick : i ca n't stop thinking about my own daughters , you know ? if they were a terrible situation like that , alone and scared ... chelsea : and hungry . luckily , we can take care of that . do n't worry . once she realizes she can trust us , she 'll -- she 'll open up more . it 's gon na be okay . nick : yeah . reed : hey , nick . nothing 's coming out of the mic . nick : uh , noah probably forgot to just patch it in after he used it for the benefit . just talk to jake . he 'll hook you up . reed : all right . cool . um , also , one more thing , could i reserve a table in case my friend does show up ? nick : mm . yeah , you can . anyone i know ? reed : hey . sharon : hey , reed . are you performing tonight ? reed : yeah , i sure am . sharon : great . reed : i 'm gon na be right back . scott : hey . break a leg . have fun . sharon : hi , nick . nick : ' sup ? scott : how 's it going , champ ? any upcoming bouts ? sharon : scott . nick : hm , so clearly you saw the segment on `` the hilary hour `` about the benefit . scott : kind of hard to avoid , particularly the clip of victor poppin ' you one in the jaw . it 's been posted all over the web . nick : [ laughs ] yeah , just part of my dad 's plan to make me look as bad as possible , but i 'm assuming you already knew that since you 're his new protégé . scott : you know , all i did is work my butt off to make the concert and fundraiser a success for your mother , the medical school , and your family . you looking bad , that was all on you , my friend . billy : is cane really that threatened that he would go this far ? victoria : this stunt nearly drove brash & sassy ! into a ditch . as it is , we 'll be recovering from this for who knows how long . billy : and for what reason ? i mean , honestly , just to take me down ? to wreck everything that i 've worked so hard for with the hockey tie - in ? does n't it seem a little bit petty ? but it all makes sense now , does n't it ? i mean ... he was fighting so hard to get me fired when everything exploded . he wanted me out of here so bad just so he could feel like the big man . victoria : well , instead , he ruined lily 's big break , got juliet fired , and caused a sexual harassment suit . billy : yeah , and look at the mess he 's got himself in now . victoria : well , you know what they say about karma . billy : yeah . i do . victoria : you know , cane shelled out a lot of cash to keep this secret with jesse , but it got exposed anyway . so i guess it proves that old adage that two people can keep a secret , as long as one of them 's dead . billy : this is unbelievable . i have to say , victoria , i 'm impressed -- the way you got jesse to admit the amount of money that he got out of cane ... victoria : well , i 'd like to sue his sorry backside for what he 's cost this company . billy : ca n't get blood out of turnip , can you ? besides , lily 's the one that 's supporting the family right now . so , realistically , it would be her and the kids that would pay the most . victoria : are you suggesting that i let him get away with this ? billy : hell , no . cane : i know you 're worried about money , even though you 're trying not to show it , okay ? but i ca n't just sit back and let this all fall on you , baby , because you 're already dealing with enough . lily : cane ... cane : i know i 've put this family through hell , and now i 'm fighting to be the man that you fell in love with and the father that the kids can look up to and trust , right ? but more than that , frankly , i 'm trying to do this for myself , so i can prove that i can still provide for the family financially . lily : listen , i understand that . i do . cane : okay . lily : but of all the times to make a decision without me ? there was $ 30,000 in that account , $ 25,000 of which is due tonight . walnut grove wo n't take a 20 % down payment . cane : well , i can write the check out the brokerage account . lily : i do n't want to touch that money . cane : all i 'm doing , then , is moving money from one investment opportunity to another . lily : then why would n't you do that in the first place ? cane : [ sighs ] because when the investment opportunity came up , i did n't have the funds 'cause i was n't liquid , okay ? listen , all i 've got to do is just make some trades . i can transfer the money into the tuition account , all right , sweetheart ? we have the money for this . baby , we have the money for this . we 're okay . lily : fine . i guess it 's good that you found a way to get income because i found out today i did n't get that commercial . cane : i 'm sorry . look , i know it 's more than just the money . because you want to take your career to the next level , but , baby , look at me . it 's gon na happen . it 's gon na happen . it 's gon na happen for you . i promise you . lily : hi . cane : hey . mattie : hey ! uh , would it be okay if i went out tonight ? cane : uh ... lily : what -- what are your plans ? mattie : oh , you know , hang out with friends , maybe see a movie at the mall . cane : sure . go have fun . you 've earned it . mattie : thank you ! do n't worry , i 'll be home by curfew . hilary : lily 's commercial ? yeah , i 'm -- i 'm sure that it would have been lily 's commercial if she had the talent to book it , but she did n't , did she ? i did . the client and the agency -- they chose me over every other woman who auditioned , including lily . jordan : listen , she had an agent that kept her in the running , you didn't . hilary : so what ? that 's how the industry works now , jordan . you can submit yourself ! actors do it all the time . lily -- she had you shoot and direct her audition . i did n't make a big deal about that . and i did n't snivel when barry chose not to represent me . people have doors closed in their faces all the time . people blow smoke , they talk big , they make promises that they never deliver on . that 's why you have to believe in yourself . i made this happen for me . on my own , with my own talent and determination . i thought you 'd be happy about that . instead of congratulating me , here you are , accusing me of stealing lily 's commercial , as if it was ever hers to begin . why , huh ? why ? i would like to know ! why ? jordan : i do n't know . hilary : [ scoffs ] i think you do know . i think you know why you made this personal . maybe you care about lily more than you 're saying . jordan : maybe i do . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . zack : so , that 's basically what 's gon na set this platform apart from the rest . ashley : it sounds amazing . zack : hopefully it will be . we 're still finalizing the rollout plan and the seo strategy . ashley : it 's not easy . ravi -- he 's my tech guy -- he and i had our fair share of problems with the initial launch of jabotgo . zack : it comes with the territory . ashley : you know what , unfortunately it does . so , what are you gon na do about scam artists and those people that create fake profiles ? zack : we have a zero - tolerance policy . we have an unique algorithm and also live human moderators . our whole philosophy is simple . keep it safe , honest , and enjoyable -- exactly like a real relationship should be . ashley : ideally . i got to tell you something . i was skeptical , but i 'm -- i 'm impressed . it really sounds like you 're bringing something fresh and really thought - out to the category . good for you . i ca n't wait to see the finished product . will you let me know when it launches ? zack : happy to . ashley : warning -- i 'm not afraid to say what 's on my mind . zack : you and your daughter both . now i see where she gets it . although , i doubt abby will ever have any use for this app . i was so knocked out by her when we first met . the whole tech start - up incubator project , how she 's managing it , her ideas ... the more i talked to her , the more impressed i was , the more i wanted to get to know her , spend time with her . should i even be telling you all of this ? ashley : [ laughs ] well ... abby : ugh . i am so sorry . sorry for abandoning you . zack : it 's no problem . actually , i need to get going . i have a couple tests i need to run on the system . this has been a fun break . abby : yeah , it was . zack : i 'm so glad i got the opportunity to meet you . ashley : yeah , me , too . it was enjoyable . i 'd wish you luck , but i do n't think you 're gon na need it . zack : thanks . and you will be the first to know if it goes well or not . abby : [ laughs ] ashley : bye . abby : bye . mmm . ashley : i like him . abby : zack ? yeah . yep , he is great . ashley : and he 's clearly interested in you . so why are you holding back ? abby : why would you say that i 'm holding back ? ashley : honey , i know you so well . come on , what 's the problem ? abby : it 's me . you know , the whole idea of online dating -- swipe this way , swipe that way -- everything so easily goes in the trash . it seems cold and impersonal . ashley : i 'm not talking about the app . by the way , zack said he did n't think you 'd ever have to use the app , which i thought was really sweet of him . so , what about you ? how do you feel about him ? abby : i like him . and that 's the problem . the whole idea of opening up to someone again ... i mea , i put myself out there with stitch , with his son ... and , well , i lost everything . i lost my marriage , i lost my baby , i lost everything that mattered . so that feeling of opening up again , i -- i ca n't trust it . it 's too dangerous . sharon : whoa , you guys . just relax , okay ? relax . scott : hey , i 'm gon na grab us some drinks . what can i get for you ? sharon : the usual 's fine . scott : all right . sharon : i realize that you 're upset , but why are you taking it out on scott ? nick : [ sighs ] look , he just -- he gets to me , all right ? this `` crusading `` journalist thing he 's got going on , there 's more to it than that . sharon : like what ? nick : i do n't know , but the way he positioned himself with my dad is no accident . sharon : well , victor saved his life . scott 's just trying to repay the favor . nick : well , i think he 's an opportunist . you may not want to hear it , but i 'm just keeping it real with you . sharon : nicholas ... nick : just promise me you 'll be careful , okay ? sharon : i appreciate it that you have my best interest at heart , but i do n't actually believe this is about scott . nick : really ? well , then , what do you think it 's about ? sharon : your father . and the way that he 's cut you out of his life recently . now scott is working so closely by his side . whether or not you want to admit it , i think that 's got to get to you on some level . but it 's not scott 's fault , so just would you lay off , please ? for me ? chelsea : hey . nick : hey . how 'd it go ? sharon : hi , chelsea . chelsea : oh , my god . she was starved . nick : we found this girl out back behind the dumpsters -- scared , alone . i mean , definitely homeless , probably a runaway . chelsea : yeah . i brought her so food , but i could n't get any information out of her except that her name 's crystal . sharon : crystal ? is she still here ? chelsea : yeah , she 's in the office . scott : that 's the name of the girl that sharon 's been talking to on the crisis line . sharon : crystal ? that lady told you my name ? sharon : no . you . you told me your name . when we spoke on the phone . when you called the crisis center both times , i 'm the one who picked up . i 'm sharon . you remember ? i 'm so glad i found you . i recognize your voice . they wo n't stop looking for me . sharon : okay . crystal , you 're safe here . you can trust these people . i know them extremely well . but if i 'm gon na help you , you have to help me understand -- who is it that you 're so afraid of ? i left home . i was living on the streets when i met this woman who said that she could give me a place to live . but then ... sharon : you can tell me . i wo n't judge . the men started coming . lots of them . and i said i wouldn't ... i fought . but she said i did n't have a choice . [ voice breaking ] and i didn't . so , finally , i ran . [ crying ] and now i do n't know where to go . sharon : i 'll protect you . i 'm gon na take care of you . nick : she 's so scared . chelsea : she 's gon na be okay . she will . scott : so ? sharon : it 's her ! scott : oh , my god . i told chelsea and nick about how you , uh , talked to her on the hotline and how she ended the calls so abruptly . nick : i can not believe i found her . sharon : seems like god is looking out for her . [ electric guitar plays ] reed : hey ! mattie : hi ! reed : i -- i did n't know if you were gon na be able to make it tonight . mattie : yeah , i , uh , told my parents i was going to the mall . with everything that 's going on with them ... reed : i get it . mattie : charlie 's gon na cover for me . reed : wait , what ? does he know you came to see me ? mattie : he can act like a jerk , but he 's still my brother . we look out for each other . reed : [ sighs ] wow . that 's -- that 's cool of him . mattie : yeah . robin : hi , reed ! reed : hi . chrissy : are you playing tonight ? reed : i sure am . robin : when are you going on ? nick : all right ! let 's get this thing started . [ cheers and applause ] first to the stage is one of our local favorites . please give a hand for reed hellstrom . [ cheers and applause ] reed : hey . i got you a table . come on . reed : all right ! chrissy : we love you , reed ! robin : whoo - hoo ! [ electric guitar plays ] jordan : hilary , you know i care for lily , more than ever now that her whole world is falling apart . hilary : yeah , well , maybe if you hang around the fringes long enough , keep playing the concerned friend , you know , maybe it 'll work out for the two of you . jordan : i 'm not playing at anything . i am a concerned friend . hilary : who 's just secretly hoping that her marriage will fail , right ? jordan : wrong . that 's not how i operate . i did n't do anything to undermine them . hilary : well , you do n't have to , do you ? because cane -- he 's doing a fine job all on his own . you know , and while we 're being candid , let 's get one thing straight . i got that commercial on my own with all of my hard work and initiative , okay ? i did n't sabotage lily or take anything away from her . jordan : but that 's not out of the realm of possibility that you would have . i heard how you made mariah face - plant on live tv . hilary : well , you know what , you 're right . you heard right . i did . i have that in me . and , see , you knew that going in , and that did n't seem to bother you . i 'm sorry , jordan , but i 'm no damsel in distress . jordan : yeah . that 's for damn sure . hilary : so if you want a girl that you can rescue , who 's gon na faint in your arms , i 'm not the right woman for you . jordan : well put . hilary : because , see , there 's a lot of other things that i would love to do in these arms . cane : you know , when mattie walked in and she saw us not fighting , it -- it really hit home how this situation is affecting the kids . lily : yeah . it had a big impact on her . cane : that 's why seeing us working through these difficult times , it 's important for a girl her age because it shows that when you 're in a relationship and you have hard times that you just keep going and you work through it for yourself and for each other . lily : you know , when i found out that i did n't get that commercial , i really wanted to cry . cane : no ... lily : because i 've just been feeling so ... alone and like everything is on me , and it 's just -- it 's really nice to not feel that way anymore . cane : that 's 'cause you 're not alone . we have each other , baby . [ doorbell rings ] what do you want ? victoria : good . you 're home . you need to hear this , too . ashley : i had no idea you were struggling with this . abby : you know , i was busy with work , i was trying to prove myself at newman , my start - up incubator project ... and then this guy comes along who 's sweet and smart and ... he 's a really good kisser . [ laughs ] ashley : [ laughs ] well , he also created a really good app , so you two could put it to good use and become serial daters . abby : [ laughs ] ashley : honey , only you know when you 're ready to put your heart out there again . i will say one thing , though -- you know that fourth date ? abby : yeah . ashley : because zack said technically the benefit was your third date ? well , why does it have to be anything more than that ? i mean , it 's just a date . go out and have some fun . spend some time with a very stable , intelligent , extremely easy on the eyes guy who happened to put a smile back on my beautiful daughter 's face . abby : [ sighs , chuckles ] ashley : hey . [ cellphone chimes ] abby : thank you , mom . ashley : i think you 've got your answer . abby : [ laughs ] [ cheers and applause ] reed : hey ! mattie : wow . good job . reed : thanks . [ chuckles ] chrissy : reed , you were awesome . robin : i felt like you were singing just to me . chrissy : can we take a selfie with you ? reed : um ... nick : all right ! how good was reed ? good job , man ! do n't worry , we 're gon na get him back up here to do another song . we 're gon na take a little break , though , right now , and when we come back , we 'll have some poetry set to music , so , uh , get ready ! sharon : paul , as soon as you get this , get over to nick 's club . he found crystal in the alley behind the underground . she 's scared to death . please hurry . chelsea : hey . i had such a hard time getting through to her . did crystal talk to you ? sharon : she finally managed to relax a little once she felt safe . and i do have some idea what that poor girl has been through and what she ran away from . scott : you know , i think we should talk to her some more , let her know what her options are . chelsea : yeah , or just that she has options . sharon : okay , but you need to follow my lead on this . scott : okay . chelsea : yeah . of course . sharon : crystal ? nick : she might be asleep . she seemed pretty worn - out . sharon : oh , my god . she 's back out there . what 'll they do to her if they catch her ? nick : who will do what to her ? what 's this girl mixed up in ? lily : what 's this about ? cane : all right , listen , we 're dealing with enough right now , okay ? victoria : okay , look , i do n't mean to add to your troubles , but i would n't be doing you any favors by keeping this from you . lily : okay . please , just say it . please . cane : all right , sweetheart , we do n't need to listen to this . billy : i saw you , cane . at the coffeehouse with jesse . we had an interesting talk . victoria : yeah , the three of us , actually . lily : oh , god . what now ? billy : cane screwed us over . all of us . including you , lily . [ next_on ] sharon : you got to help me find her , paul . tonight . charlie : you two know each other ? reed : it 's the woman that sued my mom . mattie : and the one that dad got pregnant . lily : i want you to leave this house tonight . cane : you do n't mean that . lily : pack your bags and get out ! | billy confronts jesse about what is going on that he does n't want to tell him , but jesse admits that he was just putting him off when he told him that he had information . billy even goes so far as to threaten to call the police in order to get the information . lily has called the bank to check on the balance when she finds out that the funds were transferred . when cane comes home , lily asks him what 's going on . nick finds krystal hiding in the alley behind the underground . he convinces her to come with him and she reluctantly takes his hand . abby and zack spend time at the newman towers pool when ashley interrupts them . nick tells chelsea about krystal being in the office , and chelsea offers to go and talk to her . reed and mattie meet at the coffeehouse and discuss charlie always giving reed a rough time . billy takes jesse to see victoria who offers to pay for the information that he has on cane . sharon fills scott in where krystal could be right now . jordan and hilary discuss how hilary got the commercial and took it from lily . | <s>[INST] billy : you 're not very good at this , jesse . you 're careless , okay ? you talk too much . you should n't be talking about your personal business in public . jesse : dude , i do n't know what you 're talking about . billy : you do n't know what i 'm talking about ? after our conversation here , i went down to `` gc buzz , `` and i got ahold of the raw footage , you know , the stuff that you cut . jesse : what ? no -- billy : you cut the footage to make me look bad , did n't you ? and then i come here and i see you and cane , thick as thieves . guess what , man ? you 're on my territory now . and the d.a . and the police chief , they 're really good friends of mine . jesse : hey , look , i -- i just came here to see if i could score a job on hilary 's show . i got nothing else to say to you . billy : you better start talking , jesse , or i 'm gon na start making phone calls . it 's up to you . lily : yeah , there 's $ 25,000 missing from our school savings account . so there 's some sort of mistake or there 's been identity theft . what transfer ? uh , when ? cane : hey . lily : what have you done ? abby : wow . [ chuckles ] zack : i have been wanting to do that ever since we first went out to test the dating app . abby : do what ? zack : the kiss . abby : [ laughs ] zack : you forgot already ? and here i 've been , wondering this whole time what it would be like , and ... abby : and ... ? zack : and my technique obviously needs some work , but after that , i could see it becoming habit for me . abby : do n't get used to it . zack : you 're kidding . abby : [ giggles ] zack : i hope . abby : oh ! mom ! hey ! ashley : hi . sharon : i kept trying to find out where she was so i could get her some help , but she could n't bring herself to trust me . scott : hey , listen , she called the crisis line a second time . that has to count for something . sharon : she 's desperate to get out of this situation and away from the monsters who are exploiting her . scott : yeah . sharon : paul was there with me . he said that i handled it well , but obviously ... scott : no , what he told you was the absolute truth . you just need to maintain your objectivity . it 's hard to do when you 're trying to help people like this , but it 's vital . sharon : yeah , paul was right about something else . i need to let the police handle this . scott : yeah . sharon : but crystal 's voice , it haunts me . i -- i just ca n't get it out of my mind . nick : it 's okay . i 'm not gon na hurt you . okay ? i can take you to my club . it 's right next door . i 'll help you . you have my word . it 's okay . additional sponsorship chelsea : everything 's restocked . let the games begin . nick : uh , you are never gon na believe what just happened . chelsea : what ? what 's going on ? nick : i just found this girl out back , hiding behind the dumpster , scared out of her mind . chelsea : is she still out there ? nick : i brought her into the office . i do n't know what her story is , but clearly she is hiding from someone . she 's not saying much . she 's really scared . chelsea : so , what are you gon na do ? nick : uh , well , i was thinking maybe she would be more comfortable , you know , talking to a woman . would you mind ... ? chelsea : oh , yeah , no . of course . nick : thanks . chelsea : of course . chelsea : hey . who are you ? chelsea : i 'm a friend of nick 's . he 's the man who brought you here . he 's a really great person , and he cares . he thought maybe it would be easier for you to talk to me . i 'm chelsea . what about you ? what 's your name ? connie . chelsea : okay . i have a feeling it 's not really connie , though . i know you 're scared . i want you to know that i 'm on your side , and i 'm here to help you . i just -- i just want to know who i 'm helping . crystal . chelsea : crystal . okay . okay , crystal , are you hurt ? do you need any medical attention or anything ? what happened ? what are you afraid of ? you seem very scared . um , do you -- do you have family , maybe somebody that we can call ? no . chelsea : it 's okay ! do n't worry ! it 's okay . nobody is gon na make you do anything you do n't want to do . hilary : jordan , why are you acting this way ? jordan : seriously ? you have to ask ? lily is going through hell right now . her kids have had their world turned upside - down . she 's the one that 's trying to hold it together , the lone bread - winner . hilary : you 're acting like cane has been out of work for a year . you see the way they live . it 's not like they 're hurting for money . jordan : the tv spot that she auditioned for was a big deal for her , and you knew that . yet you -- you just could n't let her have it . you just had to go behind her back and put it on tape and then snake her whole commercial from her . hilary : excuse me ? her commercial ? lily : i went online to pay the kids ' tuition , which is due now , and the money that we put aside in their savings account was n't there . so i call the bank , and apparently , some large transfer 's been made by you . what 's going on ? cane : okay , um ... after my job offer at jabot fell through , i realized i needed to try and make some money so i could take the pressure off you and this -- this short - term investment opportunity came up , and i had to act on it immediately , and it 's -- it 's not gon na make us a lot of money , but it 's gon na be worthwhile . okay ? billy : knock , knock . we have a visitor in the building . remember our favorite cameraman , jesse ? victoria : what 's he doing here ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 've had a long day . hi , jesse . what brings you to genoa city ? billy : he had a meeting with our favorite ex - employee , cane . victoria : about what ? billy : about the behind - the - scenes footage that he shot while i was talking to the hockey players . all of the footage . i decided to give , uh , jesse here an option . he can either tell us about the deal he made with cane , or he can tell the police . jesse : look , man , you were the one talking trash with the players . i taped it , gave you what i had . end of story . billy : it 's not the end of the story , jesse , because the end of story did n't make it into the final cut . jesse : i have n't broken any laws . billy : no ? you sure ? what about that wad of money that 's gon na be found in your bank account ? that 's gon na raise some uncomfortable questions if you decide to go to the police . on the other hand , i 'm sure victoria here would be willing to pay for the information . is n't that right , vick ? victoria : absolutely . zack : here you go . abby : thank you . ashley : thank you so much . zack : of course . to health and success . ashley : cheers . abby : cheers . ashley : so , zack , we never got a chance to really get to know each other when we met at the benefit . zack : yeah , a pity . that was , uh , technically our third date , was n't it ? abby : yes . i just wish it had n't been so drama - filled . ashley : those newmans . they really like to shake things up . [ laughter ] zack : i thought abby 's step - mother played beautifully , and they raised a ton of money for m.s . research . so , aside from the little punch - out in the parking garage , i think it was a pretty good night . ca n't wait for the next one . abby : yeah . [ cellphone rings ] oh ! um , i am so sorry . i have to take this . it 's super- important . um , excuse me . ashley : so , tell me about yourself . charlie : let me guess -- the chump went running to you after he and i talked ? mattie : you need to stop acting like such a jerk , charlie . do n't take it out on reed because you 're mad about everything that 's going on at home . look , i want to hear reed play at open mic tonight , but i do n't want it to be a thing with mom and dad . charlie : so , what does that mean , you 're gon na lie ? mattie : they 're dealing with enough right now , would n't you say ? i do n't want to add to that . it 's not like i 'm sneaking around the way you have . plus , mom knows reed and i are friends . charlie : you 've just got so much going for you . i do n't think this guy 's worth it . i -- i do n't know why you 're doing this , but i know why he is . i know what guys are like . mattie : but you do n't know him . charlie , please , i never ask you for anything . charlie : okay . mattie : thank you . reed : hey , nick ! nick : oh ! hey , bud . a little early , are n't you ? reed : yeah . i wanted to lock in a slot . nick : okay . got anybody special coming ? reed : [ sighs ] i think . you know ... nick : done . consider yourself a headliner . reed : right on , man . thanks . nick : sure . sure . hey , uh , how 's your mom ? she took that fall at the benefit concert . she swears she 's okay , but i wanted to get your take on it . reed : she went to a doctor and got all checked out , and everything 's good , so it does n't look like she 's gon na be suing aunt abby anytime soon . 'cause she threw the drink in her face . i was just kidding . nick : no , no , no . i got it . um , if i were you , i would n't be joking around about lawsuits in front of your mom right now . billy : so what 's it gon na be , jesse ? i mean , come on . we almost had a deal , and then you changed your mind . did you and cane finally agree on a price ? victoria : billy , stop . that 's enough . whatever financial arrangement that cane made with jesse , that 's their business . but for the right information , or maybe the right piece of footage , i 'd be willing to pay double . billy : whoa . victoria . okay , i mean , hey , you 're the boss . but just so you know , i know that you 're lying , okay ? so if you want to take the chance , put your ass on the line because of some misguided loyalty to cane ... jesse : you kidding me ? no way . victoria : good , because the tv spot that we never got to use cost my company a small fortune . billy : do you know who this is , jesse ? this is victoria newman . victor newman 's daughter . now , that might not mean a lot to you in the city of angels , but around here , it means a whole hell of a lot , and we have enough connections to make sure that you never work again . do you understand me ? jesse : you ca n't put this on me . look , i had no idea that footage was gon na air on tv . and neither did cane . that was n't the plan . billy : what was the plan ? jesse : [ scoffs ] cane paid me to edit the footage , to end it with you talking about gambling with the players and to cut the part where you said you were joking . victoria : why ? jesse : to make billy look bad to the hockey league . i mean , the rest -- that was just crappy luck . billy : i assume that you have proof of that . jesse : mm - hmm . yeah , i got the memory card with all the footage . billy : let 's see it . victoria : i said i would double cane 's investment . a deal 's a deal . how much ? jesse : uh ... that 's $ 50,000 . here you go . billy : is this the only copy ? jesse : it 's the original . i swear . billy : thank you very much , jesse . now you can get out of here , you blackmailing scumbag . jesse : no , but the money . i mean , you -- billy : we lied , all right ? victoria : you got a cash payout from cane for $ 25,000 . now you get to walk out of here and go home . i suggest you do that before i change my mind . jesse : [ scoffs ] what are you gon na do now that you know ? victoria : why do n't you stick around and find out ? billy : [ exhales sharply ] damn . we 're good . chelsea : so far , all i 've learned is that her name is crystal . i asked if she had any family , anybody that she wanted us to call , and it just made her more upset . nick : i ca n't stop thinking about my own daughters , you know ? if they were a terrible situation like that , alone and scared ... chelsea : and hungry . luckily , we can take care of that . do n't worry . once she realizes she can trust us , she 'll -- she 'll open up more . it 's gon na be okay . nick : yeah . reed : hey , nick . nothing 's coming out of the mic . nick : uh , noah probably forgot to just patch it in after he used it for the benefit . just talk to jake . he 'll hook you up . reed : all right . cool . um , also , one more thing , could i reserve a table in case my friend does show up ? nick : mm . yeah , you can . anyone i know ? reed : hey . sharon : hey , reed . are you performing tonight ? reed : yeah , i sure am . sharon : great . reed : i 'm gon na be right back . scott : hey . break a leg . have fun . sharon : hi , nick . nick : ' sup ? scott : how 's it going , champ ? any upcoming bouts ? sharon : scott . nick : hm , so clearly you saw the segment on `` the hilary hour `` about the benefit . scott : kind of hard to avoid , particularly the clip of victor poppin ' you one in the jaw . it 's been posted all over the web . nick : [ laughs ] yeah , just part of my dad 's plan to make me look as bad as possible , but i 'm assuming you already knew that since you 're his new protégé . scott : you know , all i did is work my butt off to make the concert and fundraiser a success for your mother , the medical school , and your family . you looking bad , that was all on you , my friend . billy : is cane really that threatened that he would go this far ? victoria : this stunt nearly drove brash & sassy ! into a ditch . as it is , we 'll be recovering from this for who knows how long . billy : and for what reason ? i mean , honestly , just to take me down ? to wreck everything that i 've worked so hard for with the hockey tie - in ? does n't it seem a little bit petty ? but it all makes sense now , does n't it ? i mean ... he was fighting so hard to get me fired when everything exploded . he wanted me out of here so bad just so he could feel like the big man . victoria : well , instead , he ruined lily 's big break , got juliet fired , and caused a sexual harassment suit . billy : yeah , and look at the mess he 's got himself in now . victoria : well , you know what they say about karma . billy : yeah . i do . victoria : you know , cane shelled out a lot of cash to keep this secret with jesse , but it got exposed anyway . so i guess it proves that old adage that two people can keep a secret , as long as one of them 's dead . billy : this is unbelievable . i have to say , victoria , i 'm impressed -- the way you got jesse to admit the amount of money that he got out of cane ... victoria : well , i 'd like to sue his sorry backside for what he 's cost this company . billy : ca n't get blood out of turnip , can you ? besides , lily 's the one that 's supporting the family right now . so , realistically , it would be her and the kids that would pay the most . victoria : are you suggesting that i let him get away with this ? billy : hell , no . cane : i know you 're worried about money , even though you 're trying not to show it , okay ? but i ca n't just sit back and let this all fall on you , baby , because you 're already dealing with enough . lily : cane ... cane : i know i 've put this family through hell , and now i 'm fighting to be the man that you fell in love with and the father that the kids can look up to and trust , right ? but more than that , frankly , i 'm trying to do this for myself , so i can prove that i can still provide for the family financially . lily : listen , i understand that . i do . cane : okay . lily : but of all the times to make a decision without me ? there was $ 30,000 in that account , $ 25,000 of which is due tonight . walnut grove wo n't take a 20 % down payment . cane : well , i can write the check out the brokerage account . lily : i do n't want to touch that money . cane : all i 'm doing , then , is moving money from one investment opportunity to another . lily : then why would n't you do that in the first place ? cane : [ sighs ] because when the investment opportunity came up , i did n't have the funds 'cause i was n't liquid , okay ? listen , all i 've got to do is just make some trades . i can transfer the money into the tuition account , all right , sweetheart ? we have the money for this . baby , we have the money for this . we 're okay . lily : fine . i guess it 's good that you found a way to get income because i found out today i did n't get that commercial . cane : i 'm sorry . look , i know it 's more than just the money . because you want to take your career to the next level , but , baby , look at me . it 's gon na happen . it 's gon na happen . it 's gon na happen for you . i promise you . lily : hi . cane : hey . mattie : hey ! uh , would it be okay if i went out tonight ? cane : uh ... lily : what -- what are your plans ? mattie : oh , you know , hang out with friends , maybe see a movie at the mall . cane : sure . go have fun . you 've earned it . mattie : thank you ! do n't worry , i 'll be home by curfew . hilary : lily 's commercial ? yeah , i 'm -- i 'm sure that it would have been lily 's commercial if she had the talent to book it , but she did n't , did she ? i did . the client and the agency -- they chose me over every other woman who auditioned , including lily . jordan : listen , she had an agent that kept her in the running , you didn't . hilary : so what ? that 's how the industry works now , jordan . you can submit yourself ! actors do it all the time . lily -- she had you shoot and direct her audition . i did n't make a big deal about that . and i did n't snivel when barry chose not to represent me . people have doors closed in their faces all the time . people blow smoke , they talk big , they make promises that they never deliver on . that 's why you have to believe in yourself . i made this happen for me . on my own , with my own talent and determination . i thought you 'd be happy about that . instead of congratulating me , here you are , accusing me of stealing lily 's commercial , as if it was ever hers to begin . why , huh ? why ? i would like to know ! why ? jordan : i do n't know . hilary : [ scoffs ] i think you do know . i think you know why you made this personal . maybe you care about lily more than you 're saying . jordan : maybe i do . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . zack : so , that 's basically what 's gon na set this platform apart from the rest . ashley : it sounds amazing . zack : hopefully it will be . we 're still finalizing the rollout plan and the seo strategy . ashley : it 's not easy . ravi -- he 's my tech guy -- he and i had our fair share of problems with the initial launch of jabotgo . zack : it comes with the territory . ashley : you know what , unfortunately it does . so , what are you gon na do about scam artists and those people that create fake profiles ? zack : we have a zero - tolerance policy . we have an unique algorithm and also live human moderators . our whole philosophy is simple . keep it safe , honest , and enjoyable -- exactly like a real relationship should be . ashley : ideally . i got to tell you something . i was skeptical , but i 'm -- i 'm impressed . it really sounds like you 're bringing something fresh and really thought - out to the category . good for you . i ca n't wait to see the finished product . will you let me know when it launches ? zack : happy to . ashley : warning -- i 'm not afraid to say what 's on my mind . zack : you and your daughter both . now i see where she gets it . although , i doubt abby will ever have any use for this app . i was so knocked out by her when we first met . the whole tech start - up incubator project , how she 's managing it , her ideas ... the more i talked to her , the more impressed i was , the more i wanted to get to know her , spend time with her . should i even be telling you all of this ? ashley : [ laughs ] well ... abby : ugh . i am so sorry . sorry for abandoning you . zack : it 's no problem . actually , i need to get going . i have a couple tests i need to run on the system . this has been a fun break . abby : yeah , it was . zack : i 'm so glad i got the opportunity to meet you . ashley : yeah , me , too . it was enjoyable . i 'd wish you luck , but i do n't think you 're gon na need it . zack : thanks . and you will be the first to know if it goes well or not . abby : [ laughs ] ashley : bye . abby : bye . mmm . ashley : i like him . abby : zack ? yeah . yep , he is great . ashley : and he 's clearly interested in you . so why are you holding back ? abby : why would you say that i 'm holding back ? ashley : honey , i know you so well . come on , what 's the problem ? abby : it 's me . you know , the whole idea of online dating -- swipe this way , swipe that way -- everything so easily goes in the trash . it seems cold and impersonal . ashley : i 'm not talking about the app . by the way , zack said he did n't think you 'd ever have to use the app , which i thought was really sweet of him . so , what about you ? how do you feel about him ? abby : i like him . and that 's the problem . the whole idea of opening up to someone again ... i mea , i put myself out there with stitch , with his son ... and , well , i lost everything . i lost my marriage , i lost my baby , i lost everything that mattered . so that feeling of opening up again , i -- i ca n't trust it . it 's too dangerous . sharon : whoa , you guys . just relax , okay ? relax . scott : hey , i 'm gon na grab us some drinks . what can i get for you ? sharon : the usual 's fine . scott : all right . sharon : i realize that you 're upset , but why are you taking it out on scott ? nick : [ sighs ] look , he just -- he gets to me , all right ? this `` crusading `` journalist thing he 's got going on , there 's more to it than that . sharon : like what ? nick : i do n't know , but the way he positioned himself with my dad is no accident . sharon : well , victor saved his life . scott 's just trying to repay the favor . nick : well , i think he 's an opportunist . you may not want to hear it , but i 'm just keeping it real with you . sharon : nicholas ... nick : just promise me you 'll be careful , okay ? sharon : i appreciate it that you have my best interest at heart , but i do n't actually believe this is about scott . nick : really ? well , then , what do you think it 's about ? sharon : your father . and the way that he 's cut you out of his life recently . now scott is working so closely by his side . whether or not you want to admit it , i think that 's got to get to you on some level . but it 's not scott 's fault , so just would you lay off , please ? for me ? chelsea : hey . nick : hey . how 'd it go ? sharon : hi , chelsea . chelsea : oh , my god . she was starved . nick : we found this girl out back behind the dumpsters -- scared , alone . i mean , definitely homeless , probably a runaway . chelsea : yeah . i brought her so food , but i could n't get any information out of her except that her name 's crystal . sharon : crystal ? is she still here ? chelsea : yeah , she 's in the office . scott : that 's the name of the girl that sharon 's been talking to on the crisis line . sharon : crystal ? that lady told you my name ? sharon : no . you . you told me your name . when we spoke on the phone . when you called the crisis center both times , i 'm the one who picked up . i 'm sharon . you remember ? i 'm so glad i found you . i recognize your voice . they wo n't stop looking for me . sharon : okay . crystal , you 're safe here . you can trust these people . i know them extremely well . but if i 'm gon na help you , you have to help me understand -- who is it that you 're so afraid of ? i left home . i was living on the streets when i met this woman who said that she could give me a place to live . but then ... sharon : you can tell me . i wo n't judge . the men started coming . lots of them . and i said i wouldn't ... i fought . but she said i did n't have a choice . [ voice breaking ] and i didn't . so , finally , i ran . [ crying ] and now i do n't know where to go . sharon : i 'll protect you . i 'm gon na take care of you . nick : she 's so scared . chelsea : she 's gon na be okay . she will . scott : so ? sharon : it 's her ! scott : oh , my god . i told chelsea and nick about how you , uh , talked to her on the hotline and how she ended the calls so abruptly . nick : i can not believe i found her . sharon : seems like god is looking out for her . [ electric guitar plays ] reed : hey ! mattie : hi ! reed : i -- i did n't know if you were gon na be able to make it tonight . mattie : yeah , i , uh , told my parents i was going to the mall . with everything that 's going on with them ... reed : i get it . mattie : charlie 's gon na cover for me . reed : wait , what ? does he know you came to see me ? mattie : he can act like a jerk , but he 's still my brother . we look out for each other . reed : [ sighs ] wow . that 's -- that 's cool of him . mattie : yeah . robin : hi , reed ! reed : hi . chrissy : are you playing tonight ? reed : i sure am . robin : when are you going on ? nick : all right ! let 's get this thing started .

[ scene_break ] spencer : see kelly 's has n't changed their menu at all . laura : well , why would they ? kelly 's is a port charles institution . spencer : well , one can only consume so many blts . laura : after the past 11 months in france , a blt will be a nice change of pace for you . spencer : i 've developed a taste for tartin au fromage ... laura : oh . spencer : ... while i 've been gone . kevin : well , i 'm sure they 'll make you an open - faced cheese sandwich if you like . spencer : no , no , no . i 'll make do from sandwiches to sleeping arrangements . laura : spencer ! you have a very nice bedroom at kevin 's house with a private bathroom . spencer : i know , and it 's very kind for kevin to accommodate me , but -- laura : yes , very kind . spencer : but i still long for my own home , the one that uncle valentin cruelly stole from me and my father . if i were charlotte , [ scoffs ] i would be ashamed to call him father . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , what 's up ? did you have any luck ? both : ta - da ! dante : ahh ! thank you ! lulu : oh , do n't thank me . you have to thank charlotte . dante : you found my phone ? well , thank you . where was it ? charlotte : in rocco 's lego bin . lulu : he actually put that bin back in the playroom closet for once , which explains why we could n't hear it ringing . dante : well , thank you , charlotte . you 're a life saver . charlotte : you 're welcome . dante : [ chuckles ] charlotte : lulu says this is where you work . dante : yeah , this is . that 's my desk over there . this is the squad room . charlotte : this looks like the place where papa made his video for me . lulu : oh , you know what ? actually , charlotte , this is where he made the video . charlotte : but papa 's not a policeman . why was he here ? [ scene_break ] amy : a picture ? nathan : like my picture ? quinn : mm - hmm . it 's the best sales tool we 've got . amy : but the whole idea behind `` ask man landers `` is that he 's anonymous . no one knows who he is . quinn : no , but they know what he looks like . look , traffic on the website spiked as soon as his picture went up . the idea of getting relationship advice from a great - looking guy appeals across all markets . and we want to approach the book that way , as well . whether the customer is surfing the web or walking into a brick - and - mortar retailer , those eyes command attention . and attention turns to sales . so , let 's talk concept , okay ? nathan : there 's nothing to talk about . we ca n't use my picture . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i hope you get this message , man . there 's a guy named garvey . apparently he 's part of julian 's old crew , and he might be after you , and -- [ cell phone beeps ] jason : and it cuts out for the second time . sam : okay , well , maybe his cell 's off or he 's out of range or something . jason : yeah . and if your dad 's telling the truth , that means he 's gon na have no idea if garvey 's after him . [ scene_break ] carly : [ chuckles ] oh ! oh , my gosh ! i do n't know why we bothered to run from the beach . we 're soaked . we should have stayed for a swim . that would have been fun . sonny : no , no , we should have just gone skinny dipping . i mean , it would ... carly : oh , that 's not gon na happen . sonny : we 've done it a thousand times . carly : we 're not doing it this time . sonny : all right . carly : [ chuckles ] sonny : where you going ? carly : i 'm gon na go find something dry to put on . sonny : no , no , you look great just like that . [ scene_break ] quinn : as a first - time author , you are in no position to make demands . nathan : i 'm not an author . i ... quinn : what are you talking about ? we are publishing your book . amy : uh , what my client means is he thinks of himself as a regular guy who has a knack for giving advice . quinn : so he -- he put up his own blog . amy : what better way to reach people , right ? he 's too modest to admit it , but those looks can be intimidating . [ chuckles ] people feel more comfortable approaching him from behind a computer keyboard . nobody who writes into `` ask man landers `` uses their real name . anonymity benefits both people . nathan : which brings us back to the picture . i do n't want my face on the book . quinn : but your face is the book . nathan : no . [ sighs ] `` ask man landers `` does n't have anything to do with my face . it 's about offering people smart , supportive advice . it 's gon na sell because of what 's inside it . quinn : well , the customer ca n't see what 's inside if they do n't pick it up in the first place . your face is the brand . so no picture , no publisher . [ scene_break ] nina : those are the unsolicited submissions for articles . um , just look them over , see what 's interesting , flag it , and then pass it along to me . nelle : i 've never done anything like this before . nina : yeah , i know . it 's , uh , it 's a lot of work . it 's a lot of work . but the thing is , is look it over and , uh , look at the subject matter , if it 's clearly written . and it 's like this . if you see an issue of crimson somewhere and you pick it up and read the article , would it hold your interest ? if the answer is yes , then give it to me , okay ? nelle : wow . nina , there are a lot of these . nina : yeah , it 's been piling up since maxie left . nelle : okay , well , i better get started . nina : okay . did charlotte make that for you ? nelle : oh , yeah . how 'd you guess ? nina : she made one for me , too . [ scene_break ] charlotte : why was he here ? why did n't he come to say goodbye before he left ? dante : you know what ? hey , why do n't you , uh , why do n't you come step over here in my office for one second . hop up here on this desk . boom . uh , do you remember what happened at the nurses ' ball ? charlotte : jake had a magic trick . it was silver with lights and a picture of a lion . everyone was scared , and we had to leave , and then someone hurt papa . lulu : you 're right . and after all that was over , your father had to come here to answer some questions . so he did make the video here . charlotte : why did n't he come to say goodbye ? dante : well , there 's some other people who want to know all about jake 's magic trick also . and he had to go with them to answer some more questions . charlotte : and when he 's done , he 'll come to me like he promised . [ scene_break ] jason : you know what ? i should call max , give him a heads up . sam : no , no , no . max is gon na turn it right back around on you . look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i love max , but he ca n't grasp the fact that you 're out of the business . jason : i do n't know what 's going on here , but i do n't think it 's gon na hurt to give him a call to tell him to pass on a message to sonny . sam : jason , d -- [ knock on door ] jason : hold that thought . [ door opens ] michael : hey . is this a good time ? jason : always a good time . come in . good to see you . good to see you . michael : hey . sam : hi . michael : oh , i , uh , i just had a visit with your daughter . i - i did n't get to hold her , though . monica got first dibs , and she would n't share . sam : how about that ? how 's danny ? michael : danny is good . he 's , uh , with annabelle the second . they got booted outside because they knocked over a vase . jason : oh . sam : oh , no . michael : no , it 's fine , it 's fine . it was an ugly vase , so we were all kind of secretly relieved . jason : what 's up , man ? what 's going on ? michael : well , i have some paperwork for you to sign . we are reorganizing the family trust , repositioning some of the assets . i sent you an e - mail with all of the details . jason : yeah , okay , whatever you say . i trust you . just show me where to sign . actually , this is good timing . i 've been trying to get ahold of your father , but his phone keeps dropping out of service . michael : that 's because he 's not in port charles . he and my mom went down to the island . it 's terrible cell reception . so if you want to get ahold of them , just try the landline . jason : huh . michael : is it important ? jason : could be . [ scene_break ] [ rain pattering ] carly : oh , that 's so sweet . you know how much i love a fire here . sonny : yes , i do . carly : even though it 's not remotely cold enough for one . sonny : well , that 's the perks of owning the place . um , you get whatever you want . so if you want a fire , you have a fire . and extra light is good just in case the power goes out . carly : that still happens here ? sonny : well , i bought this generator that cost a fortune , and it does n't make a difference . if it rains , we lose power . carly : wow . sonny : i should probably light some candles . um ... [ thunder cracks ] carly : [ gasps ] sonny : whoa . [ thunder cracks ] carly : um , sorry . just sometimes the thunder sounds like it 's so close here . does n't it ? sonny : something about the way that the clouds get trapped against the mountains . it 's beautiful , ai n't it ? there goes the lights . carly : wow . how long is this storm supposed to last ? sonny : just a couple hours . i mean , tomorrow morning by the latest . carly : you said that to me once , and we were trapped here for like four days . do you remember that ? sonny : that was -- that was a hurricane . carly : [ chuckles ] yeah , but i asked you , `` how long is this storm gon na last ? `` and you said , `` oh , just a couple hours . `` [ laughs ] sonny : well , excuse me , weather expert . carly : you know , that was one of my favorite times here . it was . it was just the four of us , and we would rave the kitchen for supplies . we cooked most of our meals here at this fire . remember that ? sonny : i did most of the cooking . [ both chuckle ] carly : well , excuse me . it 's really difficult to , uh , make frozen microwave pizza when there 's no power . sonny : well , you know what ? i ... i loved that time , too . remember it was just the four of us , no interruptions , no business . and we taught the boys how to play poker . carly : yes ! [ chuckles ] michael learned like that , and morgan , he just could n't figure it out , the poor kid . sonny : he was 4 years old . what do you want ? carly : i know . but you know what ? he got the hang of it . he did . and he wanted to beat you so bad . he would go all in even if he had the worst hand . i really thought that you -- you were gon na fold so he could take it all . [ chuckles ] sonny : i - i almost did . i just -- i thought i was teaching him a lesson . remember i told him . i said , `` morgan , i do n't want you gambling . `` and i should have stuck to that . i should have ... carly : sonny , it 's okay . i know . sonny : i 'm gon na go ... i 'm gon na go light the rest of the candles .

[ clears throat ] [ sighs ] i have talked it over with my client . quinn : and ? amy : he 'll do the photo shoot . quinn : [ chuckles ] nathan : wait . quinn : excellent . [ scene_break ] spencer : has anyone been back to wyndemere after uncle valentin stole it ? laura : [ sighs ] uh , could we talk about something more pleasant ? i know . since you did n't get to go to the museum with hayden , we could go later this afternoon , if you like , to see the exhibit . spencer : well , i 'd like to address the issue of my stolen inheritance first . laura : spencer , i 've tried to tell you . it was n't stolen . kevin : um , may i try to explain ? laura : please . kevin : before your grandfather , mikkos cassadine , died , he drew up a will , and it stated that if either of his legitimate sons , stavros or stefan , died , which they did , then the entire cassadine estate would go to his illegitimate son , valentin . spencer : then what about me ? what about my father ? kevin : i 'm sorry , spencer , but you lost your claim when stavros died . none of us realized it , but the estate has always belonged to valentin . spencer : then why did n't he claim it before ? laura : that 's because of helena . mikkos left instructions not to publish his will until after helena died . kevin : now , the will has been probated . that means it 's been reviewed by the courts , both in the us and in greece . it 's authentic . spencer : well , it does n't matter anyway . valentin 's going to prison . then what 's gon na happen to wyndemere after he goes to prison ? laura : i do n't know , honey . nina is valentin 's wife , so i guess probably she will decide . [ scene_break ] nina : i 'd wear this every day , but macaroni tends to be fragile , so i keep it in a box for special occasions . nelle : i - i should really be more careful with mine . i do n't think charlotte 's gon na be making any more for me . nina : yeah , me neither . i keep telling myself it 's for the best . and it is . it ... lulu is charlotte 's biological mother , and , uh , i - i do n't want to hang around them . it 'd just confuse her . nelle : who -- who told you that ? nina : uh ... i mean , no one in so many words . nelle : because it is n't true . i was charlotte 's nanny . you know , i got to see your family up close . she loves you , nina . she just -- she -- she wants to spend time with you . she adores you . nina : [ sighs ] she did . but she 's living with lulu now . nelle : you know , i think it 's best for charlotte to keep you in her life . nina : i think it 'd really confuse her . nelle : what 's confusing about a mom and a stepmom ? lots of kids have both . nina : yeah , i really do n't think lulu would be comfortable with it . nelle : is n't charlotte the one that 's important here ? is n't her happiness more important than lulu 's comfort level ? [ scene_break ] michael : what 's going on with my dad ? jason : probably nothing . michael : just tell me . jason : [ sighs ] okay , so one of julian 's old associates , it 's possible that he 's going after sonny . michael : wait , julian said this . why -- why would julian warn my father ? sam : because he -- he claims he 's trying to be a better person . jason : yeah , i do n't believe any of it , really , but i think your father should be warned . michael : okay , well , like i said , dad 's on the island , so he should be safe , but i 'll leave a message with max just in case . what 's this guy 's name ? jason : the only name i have is garvey . michael : garvey . thanks . i 'll take care of it . jason : what does that mean ? michael : it means i 'll -- i 'll give max the guy 's name and tell him to tighten security . jason : do you promise to leave it at that ? because if you get involved in anything else , your mother will cut my throat . michael : yes , you do n't have to worry . i 've -- i 've had this lecture a thousand times by both my parents . i 'm not going anywhere near my father 's business , okay ? which actually brings me to the other reason i 'm here . how would you like to join me at elq ?

[ clattering ] carly : what the hell was that ? maybe that was the wind . sonny : stay here . i 'm gon na go check . carly : no , wait . wait . what if someone 's out there ? sonny : then i 'll tell them it 's private property and get the hell out of here . carly : no , wait . you 're making me nervous . sonny : carly , relax . [ scene_break ] nathan : amy , can i talk to you in the hall , please ? amy : my client will do the photo shoot provided you agree to his terms . quinn : which are ? amy : we never show his face full to camera . quinn : look , i just explained that -- that his face is the brand . amy : you did . and we agree . but part of what makes `` ask man landers `` work is the mystery , and we 're gon na preserve that mystery by leaving most of his face in shadow , so that all we see clearly is one eye . leave the rest to the reader 's imagination . quinn : i - i 'm not sure that that would work . amy : [ sighs ] quinn : i 'm not sure . amy : you said yourself . the customer needs a reason to pick up the book in the first place . quinn : mm - hmm . amy : so imagine you 're a customer . you walk into a bookstore or you 're scrolling online , and you see the cover . a man 's face in shadow and one brilliant blue eye gazing out at you . and the title , `` ask man landers . `` you 're curious , right ? you want to know more about this guy , see what he has to say . so you pick up the book or you click on the title , and you 're sold !

[ sighs ] your father had to go away . and the truth is , none of us really know when he 's coming back . charlotte : he 'll be back when he answers all the questions . he promised . dante : right . but in the meantime , you -- you have a lot of people here who -- who love you and care about you a lot . lulu : we love you so very much . so does my mom and kevin and spencer . charlotte : i do n't want to be impolite , but sometimes spencer is n't very nice . lulu : he can be difficult . if spencer ever hurts your feelings , you can always come to me . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] come in ! nelle : i found a submission you might like . nina : already ? wow . i 'm impressed . nelle : well , keep in mind that i 'm new at this and i might not have the same tastes as you . nina : it 's all right . just show me what you got . nelle : it 's a backstage account of a fashion show , and it 's not from a designer or a model 's perspective . it 's from one of those , you know , anonymous dressers that runs around and makes everything perfect before it hits the runway . nina : oh , i like that , giving our readers a new point of view . that 's really great , giving a voice to someone in the background . yeah . all right . great . i 'll read this , and then you can get me lunch . nelle : oh , yeah . great . what would you like ? nina : um , let 's try kelly 's . the kale and quinoa salad . nelle : i do n't think they have that at kelly 's . nina : ah , they do . i have an account there , and they make it special for me . nelle : oh . nina : you can get one for yourself , too , if you want . nelle : oh , that 's -- that 's okay . i do n't need one . nina : was it the kale or quinoa that did that ? [ chuckles ] listen , i 'm not a food cop . you can get what you want . nelle : okay , um , i mean , that 's fine , i guess . nina : hey , listen , you may have given me our next great feature . it 's the least i could do for you . i 'll buy you lunch . go ahead . nelle : o - okay . nina : stop talking about it . nelle : okay , okay , okay , okay , okay . [ scene_break ] michael : elq is moving into green technologies , investing in sustainable energy sources . and i 'm getting pushback from ned . jason : let me guess . not profitable enough . michael : not in the short term . we 're invested in -- in several projects in multiple locations . i need someone to go on site , get accurate feedback , troubleshoot -- basically , um , oversee the entire unit . sam : that 's amazing . you mean someone like jason . michael : yeah . look , there 's a lot of travel involved . we have projects here , europe , asia . jason : look , i - i do n't have experience in this . this is ... michael : look , you 're -- you 're a problem solver , jason , and you know how to run big operations . sam : absolutely . i mean , did you create this job with him in mind ? michael : uh , no , just the opposite , actually . we were talking about a project organizer , and , um , we were going over the necessary qualifications . and then i realized that jason would be perfect . so , what do you say ? [ scene_break ] [ slam ] carly : sonny ? sonny ? [ gasps ] [ sighs ] what happened ? sonny : good thing i checked . we have an intruder . no one you want to mess with . [ scene_break ] michael : i took a big risk investing in these projects , and i need someone i can trust to make them pay off . i - i ca n't think of anyone better than you . jason : look , michael , i am sorry , but now is just not a good time . sam : what are you talking about ? jason , come on . you would be great at this . and michael , he obviously needs you . michael : i do . jason : these places that you 're gon na need me , they 're pretty remote , right ? michael : north sea remote . jason : [ chuckling ] north sea ? yeah , so you 're gon na need me to be away for what ? couple weeks ? couple months ? michael : it 's possible , yes . jason : michael , i 've already been away from my family long enough . sam : jason , come on . i think we can make this work . jason : yeah , we could make it work if we needed to make it work . we do n't need to make it work because we 're fortunate enough not to need the money . [ cell phone chimes ] michael : sorry . excuse me one second . um , i got to go . sam : um , is there a time limit on the job offer ? michael : well , i need someone who can start by the middle of next month . sam : do you mind if we take a few days to think about it , then ? michael : yeah , yeah , yeah . a couple days , but no more . i really have to fill this position . jason : i understand . michael : okay . jason : hey , it was good to see you . michael : you , too . see you soon . jason : be safe . you trying to get rid of me ? sam : no , of course not . why would you say something like that ? jason : i do n't know . because you want me to work in the north sea . sam : no , i want you to have a challenge , something that you 'll enjoy , something that does n't involve you getting shot at for sonny . [ scene_break ] carly : tito ? that parrot is still here ? sonny : tito was on the island when i bought the place , and as far as tito 's concerned , he owns the place , and i 'm just a tenant . carly : that thing should be in a cage . what if he bites one of your guests ? sonny : well , uh , as far as what the staff says , he can let himself out , which i think is an excuse , because they do n't want him locked up . the parrot actually begs to get out in three different languages , and it makes you feel real guilty . carly : oh , come on . that 's weird . sonny : no , it 's true . carly : you 're okay with a spoiled parrot flying around the island bugging guests and knocking potted plants off ? sonny : the parrot is not doing any harm to anybody . carly : well , he scared me to death ! sonny : why are you so jumpy all of -- carly : i do n't know . sonny : you know , it 's ... carly : i do n't know , you know ? i 'm on edge . you know , i feel like something bad 's gon na happen . [ scene_break ] sam : i should not have snapped at you like that . jason : it 's okay . i did n't realize that you were still worried that i wanted to go back to work with sonny . sam : i 'm not . i mean , i - i - i - i do n't usually , jason . it 's just that you 're so fixated on warning him about this garvey guy that michael offers you this amazing opportunity , and you basically turned him down without even thinking about it . jason : okay . i 'm not fixated , and one has nothing to do with the other . sam : are you sure about that , or is part of you worried that if you do take this job with elq that if something does happen to sonny , you 're gon na be halfway around the world and you 're not gon na be able to do anything about it ? [ scene_break ] quinn : so , i 'll forward the contracts for you to review , and once they 're signed , we 'll schedule your photo shoot . amy : we look forward to hearing from you . [ giggles ] quinn : i think `` ask man landers `` has a multi - platform appeal , and you are really compelling . nathan : well , i 'm only as good as the advice i give . quinn : and you give very good advice . so thank you for coming in . i 'm going to overnight those contracts , maybe tuesday . amy : okay . quinn : and get them back as fast as possible , and we 'll do the photo shoot . amy : thank you ! quinn : thank you so much for coming in . congratulations . amy : aah ! i ca n't believe it worked ! nathan : i ca n't believe you got around that picture thing , huh ? amy : i just blurted it out . i had to come up with something . although the more i think about this whole `` mystery man with his face in the shadows `` thing , it could work for us . nathan : yeah . amy : thank you . nathan : come on . you did most of the work . amy : i meant thank you for trusting me . i could tell that you were ready to walk out , but you did n't . i really appreciate that . nathan : well , it 's no big deal . amy : it 's a huge deal , for me and for my brother . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] spencer : ugh ! what does nina have to do with this ? a virtual stranger gets to decide the fate of wyndemere . kevin : i was n't aware wyndemere 's fate was in question . laura : it is n't . look , valentin has a squad of lawyers looking after his affairs , and probably those guys are gon na be the ones who figure out what happens to the house . spencer : [ scoffs ] was n't it shakespeare who said , `` kill all the lawyers ? `` laura : yes , it was . now could we please let it go ? spencer : grandmother , excuse me . i need to use the bathroom . laura : okay . oh , dear . i was sort of hoping that , uh , boarding school would have helped to rein in his behavior a little bit , but clearly i was wrong . kevin : much of that precociousness is a defense mechanism . it helps him creates distance between himself and his grief . it 's natural for him to try to exert control , keep things the way they were . laura : thank you for being so understanding . kevin : [ scoffs ] oh , he 's a little difficult to handle . laura : [ laughs ] kevin : but you should know , you 're doing a wonderful job . laura : thank you . are you sure we 're not working your last nerve ? kevin : oh , just the opposite . having you guys move in has been a blessing . you filled my life in ways i never imagined .

[ scene_break ] amy : i absolutely realize what a huge imposition this is . it 's gone from basically stealing your picture ... nathan : oh , you definitely stole my picture . amy : ... to a meeting with the publisher , and now you 're gon na have to do a photo shoot , and obviously you 're not comfortable with any of it . believe it or not , i 'm not even comfortable asking . nathan : amy , amy , it 's fine . it 's fine . your brother needs all this . i 'm happy to help . amy : the thing is , if chet 's life had gone differently and someone needed him to do what you 're doing , he would . he 'd think it was ridiculous , like you do . but he 'd shrug and laugh and do it 'cause he 's a good person . and so are you . nathan : amy , look , i 'm happy to help your brother , but the person i 'm doing this for is you . [ scene_break ] michael : so , how did you decide on fashion publishing ? nelle : uh , fashion publishing decided on me , actually . you know , i ran into nina here , and we got to talking . her office has been a complete mess since maxie was fired , so , you know , i have to admit , i 'm an excellent assistant . michael : oh , yeah . no question . nelle : yeah , she offered me the job . i took it . it 's only my first day , but i can already tell it 's gon na be a really good fit . michael : i am really happy for you . nelle : thanks . i 'm happy for me , too . michael : now we definitely have to celebrate . nelle : yeah , i 'd love to , but i 'm really only here to pick up lunch . michael : oh , i can do better than buying you a cup of coffee at kelly 's . elq is sponsoring a concert in the park tonight . you should come with me . [ scene_break ] jason : i turned down michael 's job because i do n't like the idea of being away from my family for months on end . sam : i - i know . we would -- we would miss you . there is no question about that , but at least we would know that you were safe . jason : here 's how you can know that i 'm gon na be safe . turn over in bed and take a look at my face , because i 'm gon na be right there and not in the north sea troubleshooting for elq or working for sonny . sam : okay . jason : can i get a hug ? sam : okay . yeah . jason : wow . look , i made a conscious decision not to go back to sonny 's business , and i do n't regret it , but he 's still a friend of mine . sam : right , of course . jason : and i do n't like the idea that he 's on some island without any phone service or an idea that somebody could be after him . sam : okay . um , i was just saying that michael seems to think that he was okay , so i do n't know why you 're worried about it . jason : i just am worried about it . i 'm gon na fly down and make sure everything 's okay . sam : no , jason ! you ca n't . [ scene_break ] sonny : here . finish your drink . carly : you trying to get me drunk ? sonny : no , i just want you to relax . you do n't have to worry . carly : i know . i know . i think it , um ... i think it 's just being down here , you know ? everywhere i look , i see the boys . i see them swimming and building sand castles and playing catch on the lawn , even feeding that dangerous parrot tito . [ chuckles ] and i know most of the time we came down here because things were kind of dangerous back home , but it just did n't matter because ... [ voice breaking ] the four of us were together . and there was just enough time for everything . sonny : time ran out . [ scene_break ] nathan : hi , charlotte . thinking of joining the pcpd ? charlotte : not today . i 'm late for camp . lulu : we are on our way to lila 's kids . nathan : all right . well , have fun . dante : so , uh , thank you for my phone , and thank you , charlotte , for finding it . that was some excellent detective work . charlotte : you 're welcome .

[ scene_break ] nelle : so , a concert in the park . michael : yeah . elq is a corporate sponsor , so i get reserved seating . nelle : so as ceo , you have to make personal appearances ? michael : no , not at all . actually i 've had plenty of offers to take the tickets off my hands , but i was waiting to see if you wanted to come with me . nelle : are you asking me on a date ? michael : are we allowed to date , or are you still refusing to see me ? i completely lost track of all this . nelle : oh , no , we 're allowed to date . yeah . michael : so that 's a yes ? nelle : yes . michael : all right . at last she cracks . nelle : uh , what time ? michael : well , the , um , the concert starts at 8 : 00 . nelle : okay , so pick me up at 7 : 30 ? michael : 7 : 15 . we want to take our time getting to our seats . nelle : okay , well , uh , i have to get nina 's salad , because if i do n't , then she 's just gon na fire me . so ... michael : okay . nelle : i will see you later . michael : okay . see you tonight . nelle : see you tonight . [ scene_break ] kevin : is it me , or has spencer been gone a long time ? laura : yeah , it is a little bit long . i hope he did n't get sick . you gon na check ? kevin : sure . laura : thank you . i 'll pay the check . kevin : okay . laura : could you give us a total , please ? thank you . nelle : hi , laura . laura : oh , hi , nelle . how are you ? nelle : i 'm good . how 's charlotte ? laura : uh , she 's -- she 's doing very well . her mother enrolled her in lila 's kids , and she 's really enjoying that , especially the arts and crafts . nelle : oh . kevin : laura , we have a problem . laura : what ? kevin : spencer 's gone . laura : what ? [ scene_break ] spencer : nina reeves ? or is it nina cassadine ? nina : can i help you ? spencer : oh , i sure hope so . me and you , we need to talk . [ scene_break ] sam : you just got done telling me that you did n't want to be a part of sonny 's business anymore . jason : i 'm not a part of his business . i just want to make sure that he knows there 's a threat . sam : he 's got people for threats ! they 're called bodyguards ! jason : it 's really not that big of a deal . i fly down to the island . i have michael let me borrow the elq jet . i could be back by tonight . sam : okay , that 's fine . that 's fine . i 'm coming with you , then . [ scene_break ] [ rain pattering ] carly : i see morgan everywhere on this island . and i 'll never really see him again , so ... [ thunder rumbles ] carly : the worst thing happened , really happened . sonny : our son is gone . [ sighs ] carly : this place is just a reminder , sonny , and no matter how happy you can be , it 's just a moment , you know . when the moment 's gone , it 's gone . bad things can happen . sonny : yeah , but why do we focus on the bad things that could be coming when that 's only gon na rob us of what we have right now ? i mean , we 're in this place . we love it . we 're happy here . i do n't know . maybe ... maybe we could be happy again . [ kiss ] [ next_on ] laura ( to molly ) : did - did you happen to see spencer ? spencer ( to nina ) : you 're trying to steal my birthright . jordan ( to curtis ) : we need to cool things off between us . jt ( to stella ) : how long have you been here ? sam ( to jason ) : i 'm not letting you out of my sight . sonny ( to carly ) : looks like , uh , we 're gon na have to stay here . | michael goes to visit sam and jason where he offers jason a job that would involve him going all over the world . jason turns him down very quickly because he has spent enough time away from his family . sam would like a few days for him to think about it . nelle texts michael to meet him at kelly 's . michael leaves . sam demands to know why jason would n't take the job and thinks it has to do with him being worried about sonny . jason wants to be around his family . he is worried though about sonny and carly being in puerto rico . sam says that if he goes anywhere then she is going with him . elsewhere , nina and nelle go to work and nelle finds an article that nina might like for the magazine . she asks nelle to get them lunch . nelle goes to kelly 's where michael invites her to a concert . they officially make plans for their first date together . | <s>[INST] nelle : [ chuckles ] nina : it 's official . welcome to crimson . nelle : thank you so much for giving me this chance . nina : oh , my gosh . thank you for taking the job , honestly . i mean , the chaos level since maxie left is up to , like , 11 . [ telephone rings ] nina : exactly . nelle : nina reeves ' office . please hold . [ telephone rings ] nelle : nina reeves ' office . please hold . thank you for holding . how may i help you ? [ scene_break ] spencer : see kelly 's has n't changed their menu at all . laura : well , why would they ? kelly 's is a port charles institution . spencer : well , one can only consume so many blts . laura : after the past 11 months in france , a blt will be a nice change of pace for you . spencer : i 've developed a taste for tartin au fromage ... laura : oh . spencer : ... while i 've been gone . kevin : well , i 'm sure they 'll make you an open - faced cheese sandwich if you like . spencer : no , no , no . i 'll make do from sandwiches to sleeping arrangements . laura : spencer ! you have a very nice bedroom at kevin 's house with a private bathroom . spencer : i know , and it 's very kind for kevin to accommodate me , but -- laura : yes , very kind . spencer : but i still long for my own home , the one that uncle valentin cruelly stole from me and my father . if i were charlotte , [ scoffs ] i would be ashamed to call him father . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , what 's up ? did you have any luck ? both : ta - da ! dante : ahh ! thank you ! lulu : oh , do n't thank me . you have to thank charlotte . dante : you found my phone ? well , thank you . where was it ? charlotte : in rocco 's lego bin . lulu : he actually put that bin back in the playroom closet for once , which explains why we could n't hear it ringing . dante : well , thank you , charlotte . you 're a life saver . charlotte : you 're welcome . dante : [ chuckles ] charlotte : lulu says this is where you work . dante : yeah , this is . that 's my desk over there . this is the squad room . charlotte : this looks like the place where papa made his video for me . lulu : oh , you know what ? actually , charlotte , this is where he made the video . charlotte : but papa 's not a policeman . why was he here ? [ scene_break ] amy : a picture ? nathan : like my picture ? quinn : mm - hmm . it 's the best sales tool we 've got . amy : but the whole idea behind `` ask man landers `` is that he 's anonymous . no one knows who he is . quinn : no , but they know what he looks like . look , traffic on the website spiked as soon as his picture went up . the idea of getting relationship advice from a great - looking guy appeals across all markets . and we want to approach the book that way , as well . whether the customer is surfing the web or walking into a brick - and - mortar retailer , those eyes command attention . and attention turns to sales . so , let 's talk concept , okay ? nathan : there 's nothing to talk about . we ca n't use my picture . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i hope you get this message , man . there 's a guy named garvey . apparently he 's part of julian 's old crew , and he might be after you , and -- [ cell phone beeps ] jason : and it cuts out for the second time . sam : okay , well , maybe his cell 's off or he 's out of range or something . jason : yeah . and if your dad 's telling the truth , that means he 's gon na have no idea if garvey 's after him . [ scene_break ] carly : [ chuckles ] oh ! oh , my gosh ! i do n't know why we bothered to run from the beach . we 're soaked . we should have stayed for a swim . that would have been fun . sonny : no , no , we should have just gone skinny dipping . i mean , it would ... carly : oh , that 's not gon na happen . sonny : we 've done it a thousand times . carly : we 're not doing it this time . sonny : all right . carly : [ chuckles ] sonny : where you going ? carly : i 'm gon na go find something dry to put on . sonny : no , no , you look great just like that . [ scene_break ] quinn : as a first - time author , you are in no position to make demands . nathan : i 'm not an author . i ... quinn : what are you talking about ? we are publishing your book . amy : uh , what my client means is he thinks of himself as a regular guy who has a knack for giving advice . quinn : so he -- he put up his own blog . amy : what better way to reach people , right ? he 's too modest to admit it , but those looks can be intimidating . [ chuckles ] people feel more comfortable approaching him from behind a computer keyboard . nobody who writes into `` ask man landers `` uses their real name . anonymity benefits both people . nathan : which brings us back to the picture . i do n't want my face on the book . quinn : but your face is the book . nathan : no . [ sighs ] `` ask man landers `` does n't have anything to do with my face . it 's about offering people smart , supportive advice . it 's gon na sell because of what 's inside it . quinn : well , the customer ca n't see what 's inside if they do n't pick it up in the first place . your face is the brand . so no picture , no publisher . [ scene_break ] nina : those are the unsolicited submissions for articles . um , just look them over , see what 's interesting , flag it , and then pass it along to me . nelle : i 've never done anything like this before . nina : yeah , i know . it 's , uh , it 's a lot of work . it 's a lot of work . but the thing is , is look it over and , uh , look at the subject matter , if it 's clearly written . and it 's like this . if you see an issue of crimson somewhere and you pick it up and read the article , would it hold your interest ? if the answer is yes , then give it to me , okay ? nelle : wow . nina , there are a lot of these . nina : yeah , it 's been piling up since maxie left . nelle : okay , well , i better get started . nina : okay . did charlotte make that for you ? nelle : oh , yeah . how 'd you guess ? nina : she made one for me , too . [ scene_break ] charlotte : why was he here ? why did n't he come to say goodbye before he left ? dante : you know what ? hey , why do n't you , uh , why do n't you come step over here in my office for one second . hop up here on this desk . boom . uh , do you remember what happened at the nurses ' ball ? charlotte : jake had a magic trick . it was silver with lights and a picture of a lion . everyone was scared , and we had to leave , and then someone hurt papa . lulu : you 're right . and after all that was over , your father had to come here to answer some questions . so he did make the video here . charlotte : why did n't he come to say goodbye ? dante : well , there 's some other people who want to know all about jake 's magic trick also . and he had to go with them to answer some more questions . charlotte : and when he 's done , he 'll come to me like he promised . [ scene_break ] jason : you know what ? i should call max , give him a heads up . sam : no , no , no . max is gon na turn it right back around on you . look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i love max , but he ca n't grasp the fact that you 're out of the business . jason : i do n't know what 's going on here , but i do n't think it 's gon na hurt to give him a call to tell him to pass on a message to sonny . sam : jason , d -- [ knock on door ] jason : hold that thought . [ door opens ] michael : hey . is this a good time ? jason : always a good time . come in . good to see you . good to see you . michael : hey . sam : hi . michael : oh , i , uh , i just had a visit with your daughter . i - i did n't get to hold her , though . monica got first dibs , and she would n't share . sam : how about that ? how 's danny ? michael : danny is good . he 's , uh , with annabelle the second . they got booted outside because they knocked over a vase . jason : oh . sam : oh , no . michael : no , it 's fine , it 's fine . it was an ugly vase , so we were all kind of secretly relieved . jason : what 's up , man ? what 's going on ? michael : well , i have some paperwork for you to sign . we are reorganizing the family trust , repositioning some of the assets . i sent you an e - mail with all of the details . jason : yeah , okay , whatever you say . i trust you . just show me where to sign . actually , this is good timing . i 've been trying to get ahold of your father , but his phone keeps dropping out of service . michael : that 's because he 's not in port charles . he and my mom went down to the island . it 's terrible cell reception . so if you want to get ahold of them , just try the landline . jason : huh . michael : is it important ? jason : could be . [ scene_break ] [ rain pattering ] carly : oh , that 's so sweet . you know how much i love a fire here . sonny : yes , i do . carly : even though it 's not remotely cold enough for one . sonny : well , that 's the perks of owning the place . um , you get whatever you want . so if you want a fire , you have a fire . and extra light is good just in case the power goes out . carly : that still happens here ? sonny : well , i bought this generator that cost a fortune , and it does n't make a difference . if it rains , we lose power . carly : wow . sonny : i should probably light some candles . um ... [ thunder cracks ] carly : [ gasps ] sonny : whoa . [ thunder cracks ] carly : um , sorry . just sometimes the thunder sounds like it 's so close here . does n't it ? sonny : something about the way that the clouds get trapped against the mountains . it 's beautiful , ai n't it ? there goes the lights . carly : wow . how long is this storm supposed to last ? sonny : just a couple hours . i mean , tomorrow morning by the latest . carly : you said that to me once , and we were trapped here for like four days . do you remember that ? sonny : that was -- that was a hurricane . carly : [ chuckles ] yeah , but i asked you , `` how long is this storm gon na last ? `` and you said , `` oh , just a couple hours . `` [ laughs ] sonny : well , excuse me , weather expert . carly : you know , that was one of my favorite times here . it was . it was just the four of us , and we would rave the kitchen for supplies . we cooked most of our meals here at this fire . remember that ? sonny : i did most of the cooking . [ both chuckle ] carly : well , excuse me . it 's really difficult to , uh , make frozen microwave pizza when there 's no power . sonny : well , you know what ? i ... i loved that time , too . remember it was just the four of us , no interruptions , no business . and we taught the boys how to play poker . carly : yes ! [ chuckles ] michael learned like that , and morgan , he just could n't figure it out , the poor kid . sonny : he was 4 years old . what do you want ? carly : i know . but you know what ? he got the hang of it . he did . and he wanted to beat you so bad . he would go all in even if he had the worst hand . i really thought that you -- you were gon na fold so he could take it all .

[ sighs ] your father had to go away . and the truth is , none of us really know when he 's coming back . charlotte : he 'll be back when he answers all the questions . he promised . dante : right . but in the meantime , you -- you have a lot of people here who -- who love you and care about you a lot . lulu : we love you so very much . so does my mom and kevin and spencer . charlotte : i do n't want to be impolite , but sometimes spencer is n't very nice . lulu : he can be difficult . if spencer ever hurts your feelings , you can always come to me .

paul : well , because if you are covering for him , you could be in as much trouble as he is . chelsea : i 'm not . paul : think of your son , chelsea . what would connor do if you were in jail ? chelsea : i told you . i do n't know where gabe is . so , if there 's nothing else ... paul : all right . well , if you hear from him -- chelsea : you will be the first to know . but i would n't count on it . paul : all right . thank you . ladies . [ door opens ] anita : you have really lost your touch . chief williams knows you were lying . chelsea : all right . i need to go out . will you watch connor for a few minutes ? anita : uh , where are you going ? chelsea : i 'll be back . do n't worry . anita : chelsea ... adam : i do n't want any trouble , okay ? billy : you know , i have known so many guys like you . these dirtbags who just ... adam : okay . billy : ... draw people in . and they use them . they get what they need , and then they just leave them cut and bleeding on the side of the road . and you lied about what happened in the park that night . and then yr r at chelsea 's place . adam : i was trying to help jack . billy : that is crap ! it 's crap , and you know you just wanted control over newman - abbott . and now you get to go to jail for it . but you know what ? a few years behind bars is n't enough for somebody like you , 'cause i know that you 've done more than just obstruct justice . and i 'm going to uncover every dirty secret that you adam : leave it alone , billy . billy : why should i ? because if you do n't , it 'll be just as much hell for you as it is for me . that 's why . billy : so , it 'd be hell for me ? what does that mean ? adam : okay , look , man , i 'm gon na be out of your life . okay ? i - i 'm not gon na be able to hurt you anymore or anybody that you care about . so just let that be enough , okay ? billy : no , no , no . what were you gon na say ? hell for me ? i would love to know what that means . adam : i do n't think you would . get your hands off me . billy : what were you gon na say , bingham , huh ? what did you do ? did you hurt somebody ? adam : i need you to drop it . billy : and just let you walk out of here without paying for whatever it is you 've done ? adam : paying . paying is n't gon na make you feel any better . billy : oh , i think it might . adam : why do n't you go be with your children , okay ? you got two beautiful children that love you . their mother never stopped loving you . go be with them . billy : do n't . do n't sit here and tell me how i should feel about my family . adam : go hold your children , billy ! tell victoria that you love her ! stop trying to make me suffer . i 'm suffering plenty . victoria : so , this shootout in the park was just a way of you settling who got the corner office ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm just glad that jack survived the shooting , all right ? that the man who deserves to be punished will be . victoria : gabriel . victor : yes . he said that i maliciously took aim at jack abbott knowing full well that was not my intention . victoria : look , you do n't have to convince me of what a narcissistic jerk gabriel is , but he did n't act alone in this . jack brought him into the company . he convinced everybody that he was his son . and you gave him the title of co - coo . for reasons that i 'll never understand . victor : what did i tell you about keeping your friends close but your enemies closer ? victoria : not close enough to keep him from trying to frame you for attempted murder . victor : jack proved that to be a lie . abby : but why ? if things were so bad between you and uncle jack that you tried to kill each other , why would n't he back up gabe 's story and send you to prison ? victoria : that 's a very good question . victor : you both have got to believe me when i tell you that , after all the events of the past few months and after the shooting in the park and after that collapse in the underground , jack has become a different person . victoria : what about you , dad ? are you a different person ? victor : very good question , and to be honest with you , i think after all the events and after all the problems i 'm having with your mother , yeah , i 've -- i 've become somewhat of a changed person . jack : phyllis . [ muffled thud ] [ knock on door ] jack : chelsea . chelsea : where is he ? where 's adam ? adam ! jack : shh . keep your voice down . phyllis is upstairs sleeping . chelsea : oh , right . right , and you would n't want her to find out you 've been lying about gabe 's true identity , right ? jack : i have n't just been protecting myself . if i turn gabe in , he will see to it my brother is arrested for shooting him . chelsea : this whole thing is about to come out anyway now , jack . jack : what do you mean ? what happened ? chelsea : the police are after adam . they have a warrant for his arrest . once they fingerprint him , this whole thing is over . jack : i told him i have a judge who owes me . i can get these obstruction charges dropped . chelsea : it 's too late . adam ran . he 's a wanted man now . jack : oh , damn it . chelsea : so , i thought -- i thought he 'd come here since you 're the only person he trusts . jack : you mean besides you . chelsea : we -- we got in a fight , and i -- it does n't matter . have you seen him , jack ? jack : no . chelsea : please . i need you to tell me . jack : i am telling you the truth , chelsea . chelsea : oh . yeah , i do n't really know what i would have done if he was here . [ sighs ] i 'm not sure why i came . jack : maybe it 's better he 's gone . you and i have risked a lot to keep his secret . and we both know he belongs in prison for killing delia . chelsea : what happened to delia -- it was horrible , tragic accident . and yes , adam was responsible , but -- jack : and you do n't think he belongs in prison ? chelsea : he was n't drunk . he was n't on drugs . there was no malicious intent . you know adam did n't even know he hit her . jack : when he found out , he should have come forward . chelsea : you 're right . he should have . if adam had just gone to the police the minute he realized he had hit delia , things would have turned out a lot differently for him . jack : it would n't have been any different for delia . chelsea : you do n't think he knows that ? he was afraid no one would believe him . he 's always thought of himself as -- as the -- the black sheep , not being good enough , at least not to the people that mattered most to him . jack : and what about you ? you 've always accepted him for who he is . chelsea : i wish that was enough . the truth of the matter is there is a part of adam , a big part of adam that will forever be wanting his father 's approval . and it brings out the worst in him . i convinced myself that maybe he had gotten past all that , you know ? that maybe this second chance at life with me and connor had -- had changed him . but i was just fooling myself . he 's still that broken , damaged little boy who just wants his dad 's approval , and he will do anything to get it . i ca n't be with that man . jack : i think you 've just answered your own question about why you 're here . you had to make sure he 's gone . chelsea : i think it 's best if , um -- if adam remains dead in everybody 's mind , including his son 's . [ rustling ] chelsea : maybe that 's for the best . tonight reminded me of all the bad that goes along with all the good in adam . he 's two different people , and one is nothing like the other . phyllis : okay , not that i 'm complaining ... marco : but ... ? phyllis : you -- what is with this wild - man you are insatiable . phyllis : what changed , jack ? anita : well , i was not expecting you . adam : yeah . anita : chelsea 's not here . u uh , do you know when she 'll be back ? anita : no . she did n't say . she just took of police left . adam : the police were here ? anita : chief williams here looking for you . that did n't take long , did it ? anita : for the cops to figure out you were lying to them ? adam : no . no , i was n't lying . for victor to i was lying . he set me up perfectly , anita . he had ass fingerprints on it planted here in the apartment , made sure the cops found it , and now they want me arrested . anita : okay . you know what ? you have to explain this to chelsea . adam : yeah ... : : you have to let her know that you are not guilty of what they 're accusing you of . adam : it 's too late anita : no , that 's not true . do n't say that , gabe . adam : i ca n't stay here in genoa city . it 's too dangerous . anita : but you love chelsea . adam : i do love her . i do . that 's why i 'm here . actually , i was gon na say goodbye to her and -- and connor , if that 's possible . anita : yeah , sure . sure . i just -- i really wish you did n't have to do this , gabe . adam : thank you . me , too . thank you . adam : [ sighs ] paul : you know , this case is getting more frustrating by the minute . christine : so we need to take a breath and relax . paul : you know , every time i s somebody slips through the cracks . christine : okay , what happened now ? to arrest gabriel bingham . he 's gone . he 's left town . and chelsea is covering for him . christine : and that surprises paul : [ sighs ] well , it does n't surprise me that she covers for him , but the fact that bingham made himself a fugitive -- i mean , he could have gotten off with a suspended sentence with a good lawyer . why run ? paul : it does n't make sense . christine : okay , just -- billy : it does if he 's done more than obstruct justice . paul : oh , by all means , billy , come right in . you know ? billy : i just ran into bingham at the park . the guy is hiding something . that 's why he 's running . paul : oh , i see . did he tell you that ? that ? billy : no , paul , he 's not going to admit it to me , but the guy 's a thre paul : well , we have an apb out on him right now , so we are bringing him in as soon as we possibly can . billy : well , i hope you do something soon , because someone is going to get hurt . victoria : you 're right , dad . things have changed for you and jack , but i do n't see how being shot by you would give him a renewed impetus to make this merger work . victor : victoria , my darling , this near - tragedy has made jack realize that it is best for both of our families if he and i get along . abby : you said the same thing after the underground collapse . victor : but i think this time the difference is that we have made peace . abby : well , maybe he just pretended to call a truce and he 's waiting for the right moment to exact his revenge . victoria : you said he pulled a gun on you . victor : both of you are beginning to exasperate me . jack abbott has realized that it 's best if he and i become allies -- best for both of our companies , all right ? he needs me . victoria : maybe . but i think you need him more . jack : hey . you awake ? [ smooches ] paul : you know , i 'm really getting sick and tired of people telling me how to do my job . billy : well , bingham needs to be off the streets . paul : oh , thanks for the heads up . we have it under control . billy : seems to me if you did , the guy would be behind bars . paul : you know , you 're gon na be behind bars if you do n't get the hell out of my office . christine : i 'd take his advice if i were you . billy : no , that 's a great plan . throw the innocent guys in jail . let the dirtbags run free . paul : we are looking for him ! what do n't you hear ? ! billy : you know what ? forget it . i 'll do it myself . paul : oh , the hell you will ! you 're gon na -- christine : paul ! paul ! paul ! paul , sweetheart ! get some help ! go ! sweetheart . paul . can you hear me ? can you hear me ? we 're getting help . get help ! hurry ! chelsea : i 'm home . mom . mom , i 'm home . mom . mom ? mom . anita : oh . chelsea : wake up . anita : huh ? chelsea : wake up . anita : okay , okay . chelsea : what 's the matter with you ? what happened ? anita : no . nothing . i just , uh -- i must have drifted off when gabe came here to see connor . chelsea : whoa , whoa , whoa . when gabe what ? anita : connor and gabe are together . they 're , um ... chelsea : they 're upstairs right now ? anita : yeah , i - i think so . chelsea : gabe ! gabe ! anita : no , it 's okay . chelsea ... chelsea : gabe ! anita : chelsea ? chelsea : gabe ? my god . oh , my god . they 're gone . they 're not up there , mom ! anita : honey , i 'm sure he 'll be back . chelsea : call 911 . call 911 right now . anita : what ? ! chelsea : just do it , okay ? anita : okay , um ... chelsea : oh , my god .

[ sighs ] i 'm not sure why i came . jack : maybe it 's better he 's gone . you and i have risked a lot to keep his secret . and we both know he belongs in prison for killing delia . chelsea : what happened to delia -- it was horrible , tragic accident . and yes , adam was responsible , but -- jack : and you do n't think he belongs in prison ? chelsea : he was n't drunk . he was n't on drugs . there was no malicious intent . you know adam did n't even know he hit her . jack : when he found out , he should have come forward . chelsea : you 're right . he should have . if adam had just gone to the police the minute he realized he had hit delia , things would have turned out a lot differently for him . jack : it would n't have been any different for delia . chelsea : you do n't think he knows that ? he was afraid no one would believe him . he 's always thought of himself as -- as the -- the black sheep , not being good enough , at least not to the people that mattered most to him . jack : and what about you ? you 've always accepted him for who he is . chelsea : i wish that was enough . the truth of the matter is there is a part of adam , a big part of adam that will forever be wanting his father 's approval . and it brings out the worst in him . i convinced myself that maybe he had gotten past all that , you know ? that maybe this second chance at life with me and connor had -- had changed him . but i was just fooling myself . he 's still that broken , damaged little boy who just wants his dad 's approval , and he will do anything to get it . i ca n't be with that man . jack : i think you 've just answered your own question about why you 're here . you had to make sure he 's gone . chelsea : i think it 's best if , um -- if adam remains dead in everybody 's mind , including his son 's .

[ scene_break ] sami : welcome back , e.j . e.j . : excuse me ? sami : well , there it is -- the real e.j . showing his face again . it was the implied threat against my family that was a dead giveaway . e.j . : i 'm not making a threat . what i 'm doing is i 'm reminding you of what happened last time you chose to ignore this vendetta . what ? what do you want me to say ? do you want me to say we do n't need to get married ? do n't worry , your family 's gon na be safe ? i 'm sure that my father 's gon na give up on his lifelong mission ? you know as well as i do that , that 's not true . sami : why are you here ? e.j . : because i want you to decide whether or not you are truly committed to ending this vendetta . it 's your decision . either you make the commitment with no reservations or you do n't . but know this -- if you do n't , you are gon na spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder . because my father , he 's lived his entire life fulfilling a promise that he made to his father . and no matter what you might think , he 's never gon na walk away from that . so , it is your decision , and you need to make it . but choose wisely , samantha .

brooke : answer me , ridge . i want the truth . did you spend that night with shauna fulton ? ridge : yes . but not the way you think . shauna : hi . flo : hey . shauna : oh , look at you . just like everyone else in l.a. as soon as it 's 80 degrees , you hit the beach . this is still , you know , winter coat weather for vegas . flo : oh , i know . i 'm headed to the pool . shauna : ah . flo : did you hear anything about katie ? shauna : instead of calling , i thought it was best that i just stop by the hospital . flo : mom . shauna : what , honey ? i 'm really good with sick people . i mean , if i were sick , i 'd want to look up and see my happy , smiling face . flo : i ca n't imagine that 's how it went . shauna : well , you 're right . it did n't go so well . bill would n't even let me see katie . she 's on dialysis . he said she needs a new kidney . but i think he just wants to keep me underneath it all . flo : underneath all what ? shauna : uh , you know . he was just talking about how you and i belong in prison and we would probably be there if it were n't for ridge , who is just so ... flo : fair - minded . shauna : [ sighs ] do people still say `` dreamy `` ? vinny : yo . what 's good ? thomas : hey . there you are . why did n't you want me coming back to the apartment ? vinny : no reason . i just -- i was in the neighborhood , you know ? thomas : the ac 's broken again . vinny : yeah , it 's just temperamental , man . thomas : look , i 'm getting it serviced . that 's it . vinny : no . remember , it 's a thing with the super . we ca n't just -- please be patient , all right ? thomas : i 'm getting us a better apartment . that 's what i should do . vinny : you should rent yourself one . thomas : good point . vinny : look , i know we 're besties or whatever , but i 'm good living alone . so what 's the deal ? did danny spill ? thomas : yeah . not only did i get , uh , the full story about flo fulton 's mom sleeping with my dad , i also made sure that brooke heard all about it . thomas : brooke 's head was about to pop like a balloon . vinny : so she believed you , then ? thomas : she believed danny . you know . okay . so -- so , uh , i was n't around , okay ? i coached danny into saying , `` well , you know , mr . f was really drunk , and we helped him upstairs and got him to bed , `` and to keep saying `` we `` so that brooke would finally ask `` you and who exactly ? `` flo : so i have to be the mom here ? shauna : oh , you are so much better at it than me . flo : okay , mom , ridge is never going to forgive us . you have to get a grip on that . shauna : but he was nice . flo : when ? shauna : in bed . flo : oh , my god . mom , he w -- he was passed out . you know that , right ? shauna : well , he was nice when he signed off on your immunity . flo : and we both know that he did that for thomas , not -- not for me . shauna : well , whatever . i 'm glad he did it because now you 're not in prison because of ridge . brooke : all this time , and you said nothing ? ridge : because i did n't think this was a conversation we needed to have . and now here we are . you 're hurt , you 're upset , so we -- we do need to have this conversation because i -- i do n't want you thinking -- brooke : look , i 'll tell you what i 'm thinking , ridge . if you really do love me , how could you do this ? vinny : you know they have kombucha on tap here ? thomas : thanks . vinny : so , uh ... why are you trying to get your dad in trouble ? is n't he , like , the only one on your side ? thomas : whose body parts did they grind up to make this ? vinny : it 's raspberry ginger , man . thomas : okay . so look , i 'm -- i 'm helping my dad , for your information . i 'm helping him help me . vinny : how 's getting his wife to breathe fire gon na help him do that ? thomas : well , brooke hates the fultons , right ? so the idea of my dad hooking up with flo 's mom -- i mean , that 'll drive her through the roof . and the rest of the logans , they 'll -- they 'll hopefully just follow in line behind her , quit forrester or be forced out , and if hope wants to keep her line going , she 'll have to negotiate with me . flo : do you have a thing for married men , mom ? you can tell me . we 're both adults here , i think . shauna : of course i have a thing for married men . flo : because they 're unattainable ? shauna : no . because they 're men . i also have a thing for unmarried men . and i have a thing for men who can tell long , unfunny jokes and men who have gray hair or no hair , especially men who keep my flo out of jail . i do n't want to sleep with all of them , though . just maybe , i do n't know , two or three , mostly because i feel sorry for them . flo : wow . you know , it 's actually really surprising that i 'm not more messed up than i actually am . shauna : yep . it truly is , sweetheart . flo : mom , you -- you have become , like , unglued ever since that night you spent with ridge . shauna : i have been a broken person in pieces for a long time . but because of ridge , i 'm thinking of myself not as a mom -- no offense -- or a vegas retailer or an accessory to kidnapping . because of ridge , i 've been thinking of myself as a sexy woman again . ridge : do you remember what we were discussing that night ? brooke : how could i forget ? thomas . ridge : and do you remember what i said before i left ? brooke : before we said things that we would regret , and look where that got us . ridge : yeah , now i have more things that i regret . i -- i -- i went to that bar because i -- brooke : you went to that bar , and you had a couple of drinks with carter . that 's what he told me . was that true ? thomas : it is true , but that 's -- i didn't ... i went to the bar to be on my own , to have a couple of drinks , to -- to feel sorry for myself and to maybe see what 's next , and that 's when carter showed up , and you can ask him what kind of shape i was in when he got there . brooke : ridge , i 'm not gon na go around asking people what -- what my husband is doing . ridge : okay . all right . but i -- i do think that he -- he asked if he could take me home , and i told him no . and i do n't know , next time i looked up , he was gone and shauna was there , and she told me that she knew that we had a fight . brooke : [ scoffs ] because she just came from here having a fight with me . go home . pack your bags . clear out back to the desert . shauna : do n't push me . brooke : get out ! and apparently , i drive people to drink . ridge : this is me . i should have stayed here and talked things out with you , or , if i had to go get drunk , i should have done it by the swimming pool . the bartender , he tried to cut me off . brooke : danny . ridge : i kept asking him for more drinks . daniel , my brother . somewhere in there , the whole room just ... started closing in on me , and , uh , everyone sounded like they were under water , so i knew it was time to go home . so i got up and went straight down . shauna : if you think i 'm gon na let you drive home right now ... ridge : [ groaning ] brooke : you fell ? were you okay ? did you get hurt ? ridge : just my pride . and danny and shauna , they brought me to that room upstairs . brooke : right . and that 's when shauna said that she would take care of you . and you wonder why i think she has a plan . ridge : and you heard all that from danny ? brooke : [ sighs ] no , i heard it from shauna . yes , i heard it from danny . and please , do n't blame him . he just wanted to do a favor for you . somehow you got separated from your belt . ridge : yeah , well ... i guess they -- they must have felt that it would be better for me to sleep ... without my pants , but i woke up in boxer shorts and my shirt . nothing happened . nothing could happen . i just was there to sleep it off . brooke : danny said that he saw shauna there in the morning . ridge : she brought me breakfast . brooke : she spent the night with you , ridge . ridge : she spent the night there because she wanted to make sure that i was okay . brooke : she spent the night with you . ridge : she spent the night with some passed - out drunk guy . next to me , she may as well have been in canada . brooke : you 're acting like this means nothing . ridge : it -- it means nothing . brooke : well , i 'm sorry , but this means something to me . nivea essentially enriched body lotion with nourishing serum , thomas : thank you . oh , you can , uh , take that away . vinny : hey , i 'll drink it . i already paid for it . waitress : thanks . thomas : you , uh , you 're a good friend , you know that ? vinny : yeah . i do . you know , i was n't sure you did . thomas : i do n't just mean letting me crash on your couch . i mean passing along that secret -- my dad sleeping with flo 's mom . i mean , that 's gon na turn my life around , and his . vinny : danny was n't mad that i told you , right ? thomas : who can tell with him ? check this out . you know what that is ? vinny : uh , a fish with teeth ? thomas : it 's a piranha . okay ? you put a blonde wig on it , and you got my father 's wife . vinny : nice . you know , you do remember danny did n't know if anything happened between your dad and mrs . fulton , right ? your dad was hammered . thomas : it does n't really matter , as long as brooke thinks something happened . flo : okay . i 'm gon na head to the pool on a count of 10 if you want to come . 1 , 2 , 3 ... shauna : you know what i read ? flo : you do n't read . shauna : the internet 's reading . anyway , i asked my search engine who invented kissing . flo : and what did your search engine tell you ? shauna : i know it 's weird , but it said the ancient hindus described kissing as inhaling each other 's souls . and that 's exactly how it felt when i kissed ridge that night -- the one he does n't know about . flo : okay , mom , but if -- if he was as drunk as you said he was , would n't it just be like inhaling fumes at that point ? shauna : okay . 8 , 9 , 10 , goodbye . have fun at the pool . flo : bye . you know what , mom ? maybe stay off the internet . okay ? ridge : brooke . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : obviously , i 'm aware of your aversion to shauna and her daughter . brooke : well , aversion is a pretty bloodless term for what i feel for those opportunists . ridge : i understand that . brooke : no , ridge . no , you do n't understand . you 're not haunted by the moment a dead baby was placed in my daughter 's arms . you do n't have a sense of outrage that beth lost most of the first year of her life to that deception , or that my daughter 's marriage was a casualty . thomas : you do n't think any of that means anything to me ? of course it does . i -- i was wrong to support thomas in his courtship of hope . i thought it would be good for him . i thought it would be good for her . but it wasn't . hope was n't ready , and thomas ... i made a mistake . i 'm sorry i failed you . brooke : so when are you gon na stop ? ridge : when am i gon na stop failing you ? am i failing you now ? brooke : you offering flo fulton forgiveness , yeah . ridge : and when did i do that ? brooke : she 's walking around a free woman because of you . ridge : not because of me . that w -- that was the attorney general . he offered that to her . brooke : my god , ridge , you signed off on it ! did beth have a choice in that decision ? a voice ? did i ? did -- did hope ? ridge : i did n't want there to be a trial because that would have been bad for thomas . brooke : yeah , because it would have implicated thomas , which he so richly deserved ! ridge : so what are you asking me to do ? send my son to prison ? brooke : he ca n't stay here , ridge . ridge : huh . okay , here we are . great . brooke : when are you gon na stand up for me and for my family instead of ... instead of siding with those losers , with thomas ? ridge : i always ... brooke : with flo and shauna ? ridge : ... stand up for you . brooke : i do n't even know how you could be near her ! ridge : it was a bar ! it 's a public place ! what do you want me to do ? brooke : ridge , she -- she left here . she left here , and she was so happy , thinking that you helping flo being released , that was some kind of overture . i told her in no uncertain terms that she would never be allowed back in this family , and you know what ? she wanted to get back at me . you -- you gave her that opportunity . and then -- then you sat down and had breakfast with her ! wow ! shauna : you have no idea what you 've done for us . i do n't know how , but i will find a way to -- to repay you . ridge : ohh . vinny : oh , man . you 're a good artist . so what are you gon na do with all these ? thomas : reclaim my rightful place in the family and in the family business , designing side by side with my father , just like he did with my grandfather , the way it 's supposed to be . but brooke and the rest of the logans , they -- they want to join forces and flip their hair and try to boot me from the company . they want to try and turn my father against me , like i would ever allow that . vinny : i 'm gon na get a refill . thomas : they 're fools to go to war with me . i 'm the forrester . they 're the outsiders . ridge : okay . i do n't think shauna is that calculating . brooke : you did n't think thomas was , either . ridge : i -- i think she was just trying to be a decent human being , trying to help someone that 's in trouble , trying to make sure that i did n't get hurt that night . and i do n't know if i would do the same thing for her or anybody else , but i ca n't condemn her for it . brooke : then why did n't you tell me that the first thing when you came home ? ridge : i did tell you . brooke : ridge . ridge : i just did n't mention shauna . brooke : because you knew . ridge : because it 's not important . brooke : what do you mean ? ridge : it 's ... it 's the same story with or without her name in it . i know how you feel about thomas . i know how you feel about her , and bringing up her name would just make things more complicated . brooke : what about truthfulness ? ridge : what -- what about -- the fact that i went to a bar and got drunk like a 20-year - old ? i 'm embarrassed by it , and i did n't want to talk about it any more than we already had . i just wanted ... i did n't break any promises to you . just i was being juvenile , and i just need you -- just need you to understand that , that 's all . brooke : well , what i need from you now is to stand up with me against the criminals that plotted against my daughter and her child . and i 'm sorry , ridge , but that does include thomas . ridge : do you know how much i love you ? thomas is my son . i got to be there for him . he needs his father right now . brooke : well , what he needs is professional help . i know that you love him , and i know you want to be there for him and help him , but , ridge , a couple of pats on the head and some hugs , that is not gon na cure him . ridge : you see , he 's getting better . he 's getting better all the time . he 's doing the right things . he 's trying to do the right things . he 's -- he 's saying the right things . brooke : but that 's what thomas does , and he knew how to play you ever since he was 10 years old . ridge : he 's hurt . he 's wounded . just like hope is wounded . and you 're there for her like you should be . and i 'm gon na be there for my boy . brooke : ridge ... ridge : we can do this . you know we can . we can work through anything . thomas : i did n't start this war . but i 'm gon na finish it . today is the beginning of the end for my father and brooke . ridge : i need your help . i need you to have some faith in me . i 'm gon na put thomas back on track . | thomas is working on some designs at a table at bikini 's when vinny meets him . thomas gloats that he made sure that brooke now knows about that night he spent with shauna and her head is about to explode . vinny can not see how that is going to help thomas . he explains it will put a huge wedge between them , she could leave ridge and the company and thomas will be there to pick up the pieces and end up in charge . he will be working side by side with his father the way he had with his own father . if brooke leaves perhaps all the other logan 's will follow suit . and even if hope does n't if she wants her line she will have to come to thomas . he 's the forrester ; they are the outsiders . before she goes to work , flo has a little talk with her mom who is still walking around mooning over ridge and that kiss they shared when he was out cold . flo chides her for having a thing for married men . shauna says sure married men , men who tell long and funny jokes , men with grey hair , men with no hair , whatever . flo says it is no wonder she is not more mixed up than she is . she tells her mom that she has been so unglued ever since that night she kissed ridge . shauna admits she has been a broken woman for a long time but she no longer feels like just a mom but a sexy woman again . however flo does not like it when shauna says she went by the hospital to see katie rather than try to call . and it had not gone so well . katie needs a kidney and is on dialysis now . everybody else feels like they belong in prison but ridge is so fair - minded . brooke is shocked when she demands the truth from ridge . did he spend the night with shauna fulton and he admits he did . she throws back that all this time said nothing . he replies that nothing happened and yet he was embarrassed and did not think this was a discussion they needed to have . he can see now she is hurt and upset and what she might be thinking . she tells him what she is thinking .if he really loves her how could he do this . he reminds her of the talk they had before he left the house that night . he left and went to the bar so he would not say things they might regret . he had a couple of drinks but ended up getting wasted and then he knew it was time to go home but then he could not stand up and walk . he went straight down . carter did show up but he did not tell him not to take him home . he went out again and next thing he knew shauna was with him . brooke asked if he got hurt when he fell . he says only his pride was hurt . brooke says yes shauna came and saw her that day too and she had to push her out of the house . apparently she drives people to drink . she pulls ridge 's belt out of her purse and says somewhere in all of this he seemed to get separated from his belt . he tries to make it sound like it was not just shauna but both she and danny thought it best for him to go to bed without his pants on . nothing happened , nothing could have happened . he was there to spend the night and she stayed to make sure he was okay . she brought him breakfast the next morning . she rants that he is sounding like it meant nothing . he says it did mean nothing . she says sorry but it means something to her . | <s>[INST] brooke : answer me , ridge . i want the truth . did you spend that night with shauna fulton ?

vinny : yeah . i do . you know , i was n't sure you did . thomas : i do n't just mean letting me crash on your couch . i mean passing along that secret -- my dad sleeping with flo 's mom . i mean , that 's gon na turn my life around , and his . vinny : danny was n't mad that i told you , right ? thomas : who can tell with him ? check this out . you know what that is ? vinny : uh , a fish with teeth ? thomas : it 's a piranha . okay ? you put a blonde wig on it , and you got my father 's wife . vinny : nice . you know , you do remember danny did n't know if anything happened between your dad and mrs . fulton , right ? your dad was hammered . thomas : it does n't really matter , as long as brooke thinks something happened . flo : okay . i 'm gon na head to the pool on a count of 10 if you want to come . 1 , 2 , 3 ... shauna : you know what i read ? flo : you do n't read . shauna : the internet 's reading . anyway , i asked my search engine who invented kissing . flo : and what did your search engine tell you ? shauna : i know it 's weird , but it said the ancient hindus described kissing as inhaling each other 's souls . and that 's exactly how it felt when i kissed ridge that night -- the one he does n't know about . flo : okay , mom , but if -- if he was as drunk as you said he was , would n't it just be like inhaling fumes at that point ? shauna : okay . 8 , 9 , 10 , goodbye . have fun at the pool . flo : bye . you know what , mom ? maybe stay off the internet . okay ? ridge : brooke . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : obviously , i 'm aware of your aversion to shauna and her daughter . brooke : well , aversion is a pretty bloodless term for what i feel for those opportunists . ridge : i understand that . brooke : no , ridge . no , you do n't understand . you 're not haunted by the moment a dead baby was placed in my daughter 's arms . you do n't have a sense of outrage that beth lost most of the first year of her life to that deception , or that my daughter 's marriage was a casualty . thomas : you do n't think any of that means anything to me ? of course it does . i -- i was wrong to support thomas in his courtship of hope . i thought it would be good for him . i thought it would be good for her . but it wasn't . hope was n't ready , and thomas ... i made a mistake . i 'm sorry i failed you . brooke : so when are you gon na stop ? ridge : when am i gon na stop failing you ? am i failing you now ? brooke : you offering flo fulton forgiveness , yeah . ridge : and when did i do that ? brooke : she 's walking around a free woman because of you . ridge : not because of me . that w -- that was the attorney general . he offered that to her . brooke : my god , ridge , you signed off on it ! did beth have a choice in that decision ? a voice ? did i ? did -- did hope ? ridge : i did n't want there to be a trial because that would have been bad for thomas . brooke : yeah , because it would have implicated thomas , which he so richly deserved ! ridge : so what are you asking me to do ? send my son to prison ? brooke : he ca n't stay here , ridge . ridge : huh . okay , here we are . great . brooke : when are you gon na stand up for me and for my family instead of ... instead of siding with those losers , with thomas ? ridge : i always ... brooke : with flo and shauna ? ridge : ... stand up for you . brooke : i do n't even know how you could be near her ! ridge : it was a bar ! it 's a public place ! what do you want me to do ? brooke : ridge , she -- she left here . she left here , and she was so happy , thinking that you helping flo being released , that was some kind of overture . i told her in no uncertain terms that she would never be allowed back in this family , and you know what ? she wanted to get back at me . you -- you gave her that opportunity . and then -- then you sat down and had breakfast with her ! wow ! shauna : you have no idea what you 've done for us . i do n't know how , but i will find a way to -- to repay you . ridge : ohh . vinny : oh , man . you 're a good artist . so what are you gon na do with all these ? thomas : reclaim my rightful place in the family and in the family business , designing side by side with my father , just like he did with my grandfather , the way it 's supposed to be . but brooke and the rest of the logans , they -- they want to join forces and flip their hair and try to boot me from the company . they want to try and turn my father against me , like i would ever allow that . vinny : i 'm gon na get a refill . thomas : they 're fools to go to war with me . i 'm the forrester . they 're the outsiders . ridge : okay . i do n't think shauna is that calculating . brooke : you did n't think thomas was , either . ridge : i -- i think she was just trying to be a decent human being , trying to help someone that 's in trouble , trying to make sure that i did n't get hurt that night . and i do n't know if i would do the same thing for her or anybody else , but i ca n't condemn her for it . brooke : then why did n't you tell me that the first thing when you came home ? ridge : i did tell you . brooke : ridge . ridge : i just did n't mention shauna . brooke : because you knew . ridge : because it 's not important . brooke : what do you mean ? ridge : it 's ... it 's the same story with or without her name in it . i know how you feel about thomas . i know how you feel about her , and bringing up her name would just make things more complicated . brooke : what about truthfulness ? ridge : what -- what about -- the fact that i went to a bar and got drunk like a 20-year - old ? i 'm embarrassed by it , and i did n't want to talk about it any more than we already had . i just wanted ... i did n't break any promises to you . just i was being juvenile , and i just need you -- just need you to understand that , that 's all . brooke : well , what i need from you now is to stand up with me against the criminals that plotted against my daughter and her child . and i 'm sorry , ridge , but that does include thomas . ridge : do you know how much i love you ? thomas is my son . i got to be there for him . he needs his father right now . brooke : well , what he needs is professional help . i know that you love him , and i know you want to be there for him and help him , but , ridge , a couple of pats on the head and some hugs , that is not gon na cure him . ridge : you see , he 's getting better . he 's getting better all the time . he 's doing the right things . he 's trying to do the right things . he 's -- he 's saying the right things . brooke : but that 's what thomas does , and he knew how to play you ever since he was 10 years old . ridge : he 's hurt . he 's wounded . just like hope is wounded . and you 're there for her like you should be . and i 'm gon na be there for my boy . brooke : ridge ... ridge : we can do this . you know we can . we can work through anything . thomas : i did n't start this war . but i 'm gon na finish it . today is the beginning of the end for my father and brooke . ridge : i need your help . i need you to have some faith in me . i 'm gon na put thomas back on track .Summarize.[/INST]thomas is working on some designs at a table at bikini 's when vinny meets him . thomas gloats that he made sure that brooke now knows about that night he spent with shauna and her head is about to explode . vinny can not see how that is going to help thomas . he explains it will put a huge wedge between them , she could leave ridge and the company and thomas will be there to pick up the pieces and end up in charge . he will be working side by side with his father the way he had with his own father . if brooke leaves perhaps all the other logan 's will follow suit . and even if hope does n't if she wants her line she will have to come to thomas . he 's the forrester ; they are the outsiders . before she goes to work , flo has a little talk with her mom who is still walking around mooning over ridge and that kiss they shared when he was out cold . flo chides her for having a thing for married men . shauna says sure married men , men who tell long and funny jokes , men with grey hair , men with no hair , whatever . flo says it is no wonder she is not more mixed up than she is . she tells her mom that she has been so unglued ever since that night she kissed ridge . shauna admits she has been a broken woman for a long time but she no longer feels like just a mom but a sexy woman again . however flo does not like it when shauna says she went by the hospital to see katie rather than try to call . and it had not gone so well . katie needs a kidney and is on dialysis now . everybody else feels like they belong in prison but ridge is so fair - minded . brooke is shocked when she demands the truth from ridge . did he spend the night with shauna fulton and he admits he did . she throws back that all this time said nothing . he replies that nothing happened and yet he was embarrassed and did not think this was a discussion they needed to have . he can see now she is hurt and upset and what she might be thinking . she tells him what she is thinking .if he really loves her how could he do this . he reminds her of the talk they had before he left the house that night . he left and went to the bar so he would not say things they might regret . he had a couple of drinks but ended up getting wasted and then he knew it was time to go home but then he could not stand up and walk . he went straight down . carter did show up but he did not tell him not to take him home . he went out again and next thing he knew shauna was with him . brooke asked if he got hurt when he fell . he says only his pride was hurt . brooke says yes shauna came and saw her that day too and she had to push her out of the house . apparently she drives people to drink . she pulls ridge 's belt out of her purse and says somewhere in all of this he seemed to get separated from his belt . he tries to make it sound like it was not just shauna but both she and danny thought it best for him to go to bed without his pants on . nothing happened , nothing could have happened . he was there to spend the night and she stayed to make sure he was okay . she brought him breakfast the next morning . she rants that he is sounding like it meant nothing . he says it did mean nothing . she says sorry but it means something to her .</s> | 5,539 |

[ scene_break ] brady : it 's not -- we 're not ending anything . kristen : brady , we have to . brady : no , i 'm going to -- i 'm going to work things out with my dad . it 'll be fine . it 'll take some time , but -- kristen : but you 're being so naive right now , you really are . brady : then i 'll be naive , i 'll be irresponsible , i 'll be stubborn . but what i do n't want to be is without you . i do n't want to stop seeing -- i do n't want -- kristen : brady , what ? brady : that 's just -- it just -- it just hurts a little bit . kristen : okay . brady : i 'm all right , i 'm fine . kristen : may i ? brady : yeah . kristen : just go sit back down , okay ? careful , take it easy . brady : i 'm all right . kristen : it 's okay . is this all right ? i do n't want to hurt you . brady : no . i 'll tell you what would make me all right . if you make me a promise . promise me that you 're not going to talk about ending what we have ever again . kristen : the only promise i can make you is that , um , i 'll think about it , okay ? is that enough ? please ? brady : oh , i guess that 'll have to do . [ scene_break ] john : i do n't think i will ever forgive myself for being so damn blind . i hated that i doubted you , doc . i 'm so sorry that i made you feel all alone . so sorry . ( flashback ) marlena : you can either tell john , or you can continue the affair and keep it a secret . kristen : it kind of sounds like that 's what you want . marlena : actually , i do n't give a damn . kristen : well , of course , you do . because as long as i continue my affair with brady , that will keep me from sleeping with john . ( present ) john : what is it , honey ? what 's wrong ? marlena : there 's something i think you need to know . seeing you in so much pain , blaming yourself , thinking that you failed me , failed your son -- john : doc , doc , doc . whatever it is you have to tell me , just go ahead and say it . [ scene_break ] sami : they 're in here . eric : sami , knock first . sami : no , i -- what do you mean ? hi . are you okay ? what happened ? what the hell ? john : well , things just got a little out of hand with brady . sami : obviously . but we need to know why . marlena : not now . it 's not the time . i do n't want john getting all worked up , trying to explain -- john : it 's all right , doc . i think it 'd be better if they heard it from us . sami : hear what ? john : brady and -- and kristen are having an affair . sami : what ? no way . brady would n't do that , he -- john : he would do it , and he did do it . i saw it with my own eyes . the thing is , it 's all a scheme on kristen 's part . no surprise there . it was designed to hurt your mother and me . kind of a no - brainer , huh ? sami : yeah , kind of . and you would think that brady has more brains than that . where is he ? where 's that gullible nitwit ? [ scene_break ] kristen : oh . so much for my magic touch . brady : you 're doing great . kristen : i 'm not . brady : it 's all right . it 's kind of sticking . cameron : patch is n't sticking ? brady : yeah , it 's -- cameron : let me see if we can fix that . kristen : okay , i 'm going to get out of here . brady : no , stay . kristen : yeah , yeah , yeah . shh , shh , shh . you just rest , okay ? and we 'll talk a little later . brady : all right . kristen ? thank you . kristen : take care of yourself . that 's all the thanks i need .

[ scene_break ] erica : regardless , it 's dr. greg madden who 's to blame for this . he took advantage of kendall . she has very complicated feelings . he knew that , he pushed her into this , and once she was sucked in , she could n't get out . tad : well , i 'm sorry . it 's like i said -- anything i found out about him is already in his cv . he graduated top of his class , he 's held a number of ob - gyn positions at several prestigious hospitals up and down the coast -- virginia , new york , massachusetts . the guy came out of the gate summa cum laude and ended up being one of the top fertility specialists in the country with a string of clinics . erica : could i know him from -- from charity events ? i mean , could we have served on a board together ? tad : it 's possible . i mean , he does do a lot of pro bono work , but he 's mostly known for his research . he 's been a pioneer in the field since the 1970s , started in his third year in med school . erica : well , what about malpractice ? what about some unhappy patients ? tad : clean as a whistle , sterile as surgery . erica : well , find something . find out how greg madden is connected to me . [ scene_break ] jack : you know , you 're not exactly an expert on family . zach : man , you 're right about that . and i 'm right about this -- kendall did what she did out of love . she was willing to sacrifice her heart and her body for your daughter . jack : why did n't she ask her , huh ? why did n't she tell her ? at least after the deed was done , tell her something ? zach : because all she wanted to do was take greenlee 's pain away , that 's it . that 's her deep , dark motive . yeah , i would n't blame you for not understanding that , because there is n't a single adult in your family that has ever done anything out of pure love . there 's always been some selfish reason . hey , all you have to do is look at your own wife for proof of that .

[ scene_break ] erica : regardless , it 's dr. greg madden who 's to blame for this . he took advantage of kendall . she has very complicated feelings . he knew that , he pushed her into this , and once she was sucked in , she could n't get out . tad : well , i 'm sorry . it 's like i said -- anything i found out about him is already in his cv . he graduated top of his class , he 's held a number of ob - gyn positions at several prestigious hospitals up and down the coast -- virginia , new york , massachusetts . the guy came out of the gate summa cum laude and ended up being one of the top fertility specialists in the country with a string of clinics . erica : could i know him from -- from charity events ? i mean , could we have served on a board together ? tad : it 's possible . i mean , he does do a lot of pro bono work , but he 's mostly known for his research . he 's been a pioneer in the field since the 1970s , started in his third year in med school . erica : well , what about malpractice ? what about some unhappy patients ? tad : clean as a whistle , sterile as surgery . erica : well , find something . find out how greg madden is connected to me . [ scene_break ] jack : you know , you 're not exactly an expert on family . zach : man , you 're right about that . and i 'm right about this -- kendall did what she did out of love . she was willing to sacrifice her heart and her body for your daughter . jack : why did n't she ask her , huh ? why did n't she tell her ? at least after the deed was done , tell her something ? zach : because all she wanted to do was take greenlee 's pain away , that 's it . that 's her deep , dark motive . yeah , i would n't blame you for not understanding that , because there is n't a single adult in your family that has ever done anything out of pure love . there 's always been some selfish reason . hey , all you have to do is look at your own wife for proof of that . [ scene_break ] erica : there is something about greg madden . there 's a feeling i just ca n't shake that there 's some weird connection to my past . tad : with all due respect , do you really think this whole thing is some way to get at you ? erica : i know he has a grudge against me , and maybe against my family , and maybe it 's why he did this to kendall . tad : just for the sake of argument , what if it 's the other way around ? i mean , what happens if greg madden went along with it , because it 's what kendall wanted ? i mean , he does own the clinic where , you know , the first deposit was made . erica : and is n't that interesting ? tad : erica , come on , what 's your point ? you 're saying that he bought the clinic on the off chance that your daughter would want to carry her best friend 's baby to term ? i 'm not saying the guy did n't step out of line , i 'm just saying i do n't think it has anything to do with you . erica : then prove me wrong . please , tad , find out everything you can about this man , so i can just chalk it up to just some strange , sick coincidence , and i can get this man out of our lives . tad : erica , i 'm working on it , ok ? i swear to you , as soon as we find out anything , i 'll call you . erica : well , you have to make it fast before anything else happens . tad : well , i do n't know what more i can tell you . erica : tell me that i can kill this man and get away with it . because i swear to you , i ca n't stop thinking about the fall - out from this . kendall may never recover from this , tad . [ scene_break ] kendall : please , greenlee , think about how far -- how far we 've come together . i have become a better person , because of my friendship with you . we 've changed , both of us , and it 's because of you and how much you mean to me . i could n't just let you curl up and die when ryan left . you wanted to , but i held you instead . and when i lost my faith in love , i found that faith again in you . i could 've just let you die in that fire if i was really , truly such an awful person . if i was the person that i used to be , would n't i have just saved myself ? yes , i did things wrong with the baby . but i would n't be me if i did n't screw it up somewhere . greenlee : you think i would n't accept this if i could ? it 's too much . i 've been knocked down too hard . i ca n't get up . kendall : do you -- do you remember the night -- the night of the black - out , when everything went wrong ? i found you on the rooftop , and you were so lost . you said sometimes you just wanted to close your eyes and give in . you asked for my help . yes , i know , i know , i should 've called you from the clinic . i should have asked you , but all i could think about was how broken you were . all i could think about was how you wanted this baby so badly . all i could think about was you ! i mean , could you really take another loss after losing ryan and losing the baby ? could you take another loss ? ryan : this is mine ? our -- kendall : yours . yours and greenlee 's son . that little one was created by someone that you love and someone who loves you . i never thought of him as mine , ever . and for probably the first time in my life , this was not about me . from the moment i carried this child inside of me , greenlee , i did it for you . he was yours , your baby , and he still is . and you can hate me . you can hate me all you want , but do n't walk out on your son . do n't walk out on a future with ryan . you both need this little boy more than you know , because he is your future now .

[ scene_break ] greg : i am helping these women . josh : you know , you 've officially fallen off that very high pedestal that you put yourself on . you lied to the very woman who was supposed to have that baby . greg : if it were n't for you , greenlee would have a beautiful child in a matter of months . everyone would 've been happy . josh : says the man with the higher power , looking down on the mere mortals . greg : you 're not just going after those women . you 're attacking me , josh . josh : and you always talk about your job being so noble . how many times have you reminded me of that special day mom gave birth to me ? huh ? is that why you do what you do ? is that why you did this to kendall ? greg : this pregnancy has nothing to do with you or your mother . josh : no ? you 're not trying to re - create that sacred day that mom gave birth to me and saved her life ? because if you are , dad -- if you are -- stop it ! all right ? i am so tired of being reminded of the miracle that i am . greg : right now i seem to forget that myself . josh : i do n't want to be the reason why you do all this ! greg : look , you still have n't told me the reason why you did what you did . josh : maybe it serves me , all right ? you 're not the only one keeping an eye on erica , remember ? this will keep her off her pins for a while . greg : you would n't do this just to get at erica . i 've raised you better than that . josh : maybe this will also make you take a long , hard look at how you conduct yourself as a human being . [ scene_break ] erica : madden has taken two very capable women and pitted them against each other . this man has potentially destroyed any hope of my family ever finding happiness . we may never recover from what he did to kendall and greenlee . he has manipulated kendall to such a point that i actually fear for her physical and her mental health . he took greenlee 's already devastated heart , and he stomped on it . and he 's caused a horrendous rift between jack and me . the man has got to be stopped , and he 's got to be punished . tad : we have a lot in common . i swear to you , if greg madden has done anything he needs to be punished for , i 'll find out about it .

[ sniffles ] okay ? i am so sorry . dante : okay , stop , okay ? that 's not your fault , and she knows that . lulu : i know . i just ... you have never been anything but wonderful to me , and i want to have a chance to tell you what that means . dante : [ sniffles ] okay , you 'll get your chance , okay ? lulu : i know . i know . [ sniffles ] and i am not gon na waste it . i promise . dante : no , 'cause we will spend every day making you know just how important you are . lulu : we 're gon na hover . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : and we are going to appreciate you [ sniffles ] until it is pretty annoying . [ both chuckle ] dante : that 's the falconeri way . lulu : we love you so much . we love you so much , and so do a lot of other people , so you have to pull through , okay ? dante : [ sniffles ] let 's make you a deal , okay ? you hold up your end of the bargain , and i 'll hold up mine . [ sniffles ] open your eyes . open your eyes , ma , and i promise you i will find the person responsible for this , even if it is sonny ... and he was just trying to get rid of franco . [ scene_break ] franco : maybe i 'm missing something , but would n't you be glad to find out that you have a cousin ? aj : and this is morgan 's girlfriend . morgan : and your niece . aj : yeah , no , i know . i just -- i just was n't aware that you two were dating . michael : so , uh , why did n't you tell me you were a quartermaine ? kiki : why did n't you tell me you were a quartermaine ? michael : why would i ? kiki : exactly . i knew that sonny was your adopted father , but i did n't know that aj -- morgan : aj was your bio - dad ? yep , you two are legitimately related . ai n't family grand ? [ scene_break ] rafe : that was a good kiss . molly : yeah . [ chuckles ] rafe : uh , the stars fell on alabama for me . molly : what ? rafe : something my mom used to say when there was magic . and that ... was magic . but it was something else for you , was n't it ? molly : oh . no . it was really nice . rafe : but it would have been better if you 'd been kissing tj . [ scene_break ] tj : tell me i did not just see that . taylor : i wish i could , but i saw it , too . tj : what was she doing with him ? taylor : you really do n't want me to answer that , right ? tj : i mean , it 's weird enough that she 's out in general , but her nephew 's sick , so she throws on a prom dress ? really ? taylor : was n't exactly sitting vigil crib - side , now , was she ? tj : uh , no . and to think i was all worried . i sent shawn to tell molly i was thinking about her , but for what ? 'cause she definitely was n't thinking about me . [ sighs ] taylor : you sure you do n't want some ? it might make you feel better . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] shawn : i did n't tell anyone else about this , besides you . so , you think someone else knows ? alexis : sonny -- you know , the guy that paid you to take out the enemy ? or however the hell he puts it . shawn : did you or did you not tell me sonny signed off on taking franco out ? carly : yes , we discussed it , remember ? you were there . shawn : was it or was it not a lie ? carly : sonny came up with the whole idea , okay ? he paid off the da so franco could be out on the street . you were there . he brought you in on this . shawn : and he called it off . carly : so ? sonny and i had a difference of opinion on timing . shawn : sonny called it off , carly , and you put it back on ! carly : franco needed to die . shawn : who said anything about sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know what i did , sonny , 'cause i have n't stopped thinking about it since it happened . when i saw that olivia was hit instead of franco , i - i just wanted to curl up and die . i mean , you have to know -- you know that when i gave shawn the go - ahead , i never meant -- sonny : you never meant for anybody to get hurt , except franco . that old song and dance does n't cut it -- not this time . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , i can relate to what my father may have done , because i think , in his head , he was trying to do the whole world a favor . lulu : well , that 's not how the world works . it should n't . dante : you know , if i ever start thinking like that , i 'd better throw away my badge . [ sighs ] do you know why i became a cop in the first place ? lulu : 'cause you look really good in blue . dante : [ chuckles ] it was to protect people . protect people -- you know , people who do n't have bodyguards , people who do n't have trust funds , and people who get caught in cross fires . that 's what gives my job meaning , you know ? that 's what gives the law meaning . lulu : yeah , and that is exactly why you have to do your job . dante : [ breathes deeply ] my father had means , and he certainly had motivation . lulu : yeah , he did , but so did a lot of other people . dante : other people ? like who ? lulu : carly . [ scene_break ] sonny : damn it , carly . i - i tried to keep you out of this , but you insisted that , you know -- you made me think that we were gon na work together as parents -- be a team -- to take down the guy who hurt our son , jason , sam . i went against my gut and let you in . when i called off that hit , i had my reasons , but you did n't listen . you went behind my back , and look what happened . olivia 's fighting for her life . franco is still alive ! he knows the hit was meant for him and that we planned it ! [ scene_break ] michael : you said that you were , uh , upset about your dad -- that he was some messed - up criminal . that -- that was him ? your -- your father is franco ? kiki : yeah , now you know why i was so freaked out . franco : well , you 're a little less freaked out since we talked , right ? michael : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe this is happening . franco : all right . look ... to say that i have issues is a bit of an understatement . kiki : is it ? because you told me that when you found out that you had a twin brother named jason , you hated him so much that you turned evil , and then once he died , you became nice again . am i right ? franco : well , when you say it like that , i ... kiki : yeah . franco : look , you want to tell her , please , what i told you ? look , michael is my nephew , and say what you want about me -- lord knows everybody always does -- but i would never deliberately harm my own nephew . i have proof , right ? i - i showed you the proof . look , i 'm not responsible for the rape . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . whoa . what did you just say ? michael : m -- morgan . morgan : what is he talking about -- what rape ? [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversations ] molly : i do n't know what to say . rafe : you do n't have to say anything . molly : no , i do . rafe , you are so important to me , and , you know , i 've ... i 've never had a lot of friends in general , but especially not guy friends , and life just is n't gon na be the same when you go . rafe : well , for me , either . molly : but you 're right . [ chuckles ] as great of a kisser as you are , i do still want to be with tj . rafe : well , i hope you two get back together . molly : really ? rafe : yeah , i mean , i want you to have someone to lean on , and if i 'm not around to be that person , tj 's the next best thing . molly : well , it does n't really matter now , if he 's not interested anymore . rafe : he 's interested . molly : [ chuckling ] oh , and how do you know ? rafe : are you kidding ? look at you , molly . i mean , listen to you . you 're amazing . i mean , he even told shawn he was worried about you . molly : yeah , but why ? i mean , not why was he worried , but why send shawn ? are tj and i really so far apart that he could n't call me himself ? maybe he was just too busy with taylor . [ scene_break ] taylor : crazy , is n't it ? i mean , you almost disinvited me tonight because molly had a change of heart . tj : [ sighs ] so she said . taylor : [ scoffs ] she sure has an interesting way of showing it . tj : [ sighs ] you know what ? seriously ? she has the nerve to pretend like everything is all good with us again , and the next thing i know , she 's in the park in a dress , dancing with that tool . taylor : not just dancing . tj : kissing , right ? [ scoffs ] and not the way she said it happened before . molly wanted that . she leaned in for it and everything -- you saw . taylor : girl is definitely a player . i think i know how to make you feel better . tj : really ? 'cause this booze is n't helping . taylor : yeah , but this might . molly should n't be the only one having fun tonight . [ scene_break ] lulu : whatever was going on between her and sonny -- dante , he looked pissed . dante : well , he 's scared . he 's worried about my mother . we all are . lulu : it looked like way more than that , okay ? sonny had carly pinned up against the wall like he was letting her know that there was no way out , and for probably what was the first time in her life , carly actually looked intimidated . dante : well , they both despise franco . lulu : yeah , well , they both have reason to . dante : so , you 're saying they were involved in this hit together ? [ scene_break ] carly : you can yell at me all night long , sonny . you 're not telling me anything i have n't already told myself . i know what i did to dante and to olivia . sonny : what about shawn -- has it sunk in that you turned his life upside down ? has it ? 'cause i was real careful with him when he came to work for me . this was the first time that i asked him to do something like this . you were right there when we asked him , and he agreed . you know why he agreed , carly ? because of you . he did not want franco to be able to terrorize you or josslyn . [ scene_break ] alexis : of course , sonny ordered the hit . you work for him . shawn : so do you . alexis : oh , i do n't commit murder on his behalf . shawn : oh , no . no , no , no . you just cover it up . alexis : are you really gon na turn this around on me now ? shawn : so you do n't bend the law to make sure he walks ? alexis : that is not the issue . do you honestly expect me to believe that -- that you acted alone here -- that you , shawn , decided you were gon na save port charles -- you were gon na free them from franco ? yeah , i did n't think so . sonny ordered the hit . olivia got in the way . and you know what ? the police are the least of your problems , because sonny will probably have you killed , and maybe he 'll even do the honors himself . shawn : quite possible . but i 'm not the first on his hit list . as upset as sonny is with me , he 's even more furious with someone else . [ scene_break ] sonny : shawn had a lot at stake with this move . he trusted you . he trusted us . and -- and you lied to him . you took advantage of him . you told him that i put the hit back on the table . you made a bad situation worse . now , hey , you know what ? i know -- i know alexis . how long before she finds out what happened ? how long before that son of a bitch franco talks ? ! carly : he said he was n't gon na say anything yet , sonny , okay ? sonny : he 's just waiting to use it against us , carly ! [ scene_break ] aj : what the hell is wrong with you ? morgan : michael . michael . m -- michael , he did n't mean that someone ... they actually ... michael : [ sighing ] yeah . yeah , he did . morgan : someone ... michael : raped me . [ sighs ] morgan , i did n't want you to find out like this . morgan : when ? michael : pentonville . morgan : oh , my god . michael : i 'm -- i 'm okay . morgan : no . no , no , no . it 's not okay . why did n't you tell me this ? michael : you were just a kid , okay ? i did n't want to put something like that on you . look , the guy who did it -- he 's dead now , okay ? jason killed him . morgan : good . but w - what does he have to do with any of this ? michael : franco made us all think that he sent carter after me . morgan : carter ? michael : it was the guy 's name . morgan : i do n't bel -- i do n't believe this . michael : apparently , it was all just a way to mess with jason , and after he sent carter at me -- franco : that was just for jason 's benefit . i -- michael : he then called it off . franco : yeah , i did , and there 's proof , right ? there 's a video . yo -- you saw the -- will you tell her you ... saw the video ? kiki : after you practically gave him the idea ! franco : i told carter specifically -- kiki : i ca n't believe this is going on . oh , my gosh . franco : okay -- kiki : you 're the reason why all of that happened to him ? ! franco : no . kiki : gosh , you told me -- you were so upset , talking to me about the guy that supposedly set the whole thing up , and here , the whole time , it was my father ? ! michael : it 's okay . it 's okay . kiki : it 's not okay ! ugh , it 's making me sick to my stomach . franco : you need to -- kiki : do n't touch me ! i do n't understand ! franco : come on . kiki ! kiki : do n't call me kiki , either ! morgan : everyone , just back up ! kiki : oh , god . morgan : you knew what happened to my brother ? how ? michael : i told her . [ scene_break ] tj : oh , wait , wait , wait . um , wait . um ... i 'm sorry . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't do this . molly : you know what ? you are absolutely right . knowing tj 's not at prom with taylor does make me feel a little better . there 's just something about her . rafe : like the fact that she 's macking on your boyfriend ? molly : no , it 's more than that . it -- i do n't know what it is , but i definitely do n't trust her . rafe : well , i do n't blame you . molly : you know , i went by kelly 's yesterday to get some food , and i saw them through the window . rafe : tj and taylor ? molly : mm - hmm . rafe : did they see you ? molly : not at first , no . well , actually , tj never did . he went back into the kitchen , but when taylor looked out , it was so weird . she smiled and waved . rafe : saying hi ? molly : no . it was more like she was glad i knew they were together . rafe : she got off on it . that 's lame . molly : no , i 'm the one who felt lame -- like i was the dishrag standing outside without a prayer of keeping him . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i do n't know what to do , sonny . i - i ca n't feel any worse than i do right now . sonny : yeah , you could . you could feel worse . even if olivia makes it through this , we have anna devane , we have dante hot on our trails . and then there 's shawn , who you betrayed . i would not blame him for ratting you out . you got a lot of praying to do . [ scene_break ] alexis : who else could sonny be unloading on ? olivia ? i mean , damn her for getting in the way . how about god ? god -- why did he allow this to happen ? there 's always franco . you know , his return from the dead was most inconvenient . shawn : alexis ... alexis : no . i really would like to know who 's sparing you from sonny 's wrath . shawn : alexis , you never answered my question . you know , we 've been together for a while now . alexis : we have . shawn : some of the best times of my life . alexis : mine , too . shawn : so , after all of that , what 's it gon na be ? are you gon na turn me in ? alexis : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] morgan : is this for real ? kiki knew about this before me ? michael : it just -- it just came up . morgan : how ? how ? `` oh , it 's your turn to buy paper towels . oh , by the way , i was raped in prison `` ? michael : oh , come on , i know better than to ask you guys to buy anything . morgan : i 'm your brother , okay ? i could have handled this . kiki : morgan , the important thing is that he 's telling you now . morgan : yeah , well , what 's also important is you did n't tell me , at all . kiki : he asked me not to . michael : look , i wanted you to hear it from me . morgan : dude , you do n't even like her or trust her ! at least , that 's what you keep telling me . and now you 're gon na confide in her over me ? michael : it was n't like that , morgan . morgan : then what was it like ? michael : i was going through something rough , okay ? kiki : we were just talking , morgan . morgan : i - i never said you were n't . what the hell is going on here ? kiki : nothing 's going on . morgan : you and my girlfriend got real close all of a sudden -- real quick . franco : okay , kid . if you could stop frothing at the mouth for just a minute , maybe you would realize -- kiki : do n't call him `` kid . `` franco : it 's genetics , right ? they share dna . what 's the big deal ? [ scene_break ] dante : it does n't add up . if they were in on the hit together , why was sonny threatening carly ? lulu : maybe it was a friendly reminder to keep quiet ? dante : i mean , carly hates franco , and she 's not big on taking risks or dealing with consequences . she 's always had jason to clean up after her . lulu : i know , but now jason 's gone . dante : sonny 's not big on damage control , so , if he was angry at her , he must have thought she botched the hit . lulu : oh . hey . look who 's back . [ scene_break ] tj : oh , you know -- you know what ? i 'm sorry . uh , i 'm really sorry . taylor : [ laughs ] do n't be sorry on my account . tj : look , i just do n't want you to think i have expectations . taylor : look , i came to live with my brother , so i could finally spend a summer doing whatever the hell i want to do . tj : like ... taylor : meet new people . and by `` people , `` i mean guys . and who 's the first person i lay eyes on when i get here ? you . and i have n't stopped thinking about you since that day at kelly 's . sounds stupid , but it feels like it was meant to be or something . tj : it does n't sound stupid at all . taylor : i 'm sorry about molly . tj : thanks . taylor : okay , but we 're in high school , tj . i mean , did you really think you guys would be forever ? tj : i do n't know . i really do n't . taylor : [ chuckles ] people move on , okay ? molly obviously has . so , there are two things you can do about it -- sit around moping and being all depressed , or you can move on , too ... with me . tj : um ... taylor , i really -- i really , really like you . um -- taylor : so , then , there should n't be a problem . tj : it 's just that , um , you know , i do n't -- i do n't have a -- you know , anything . taylor : lucky for us , i have `` you know , anything `` right here . [ scene_break ] molly : i 'm freaking out over nothing , are n't i ? tj would never go for a girl like that , who looks like she knows something i do n't . and she probably does . rafe : taylor , huh ? i 'm starting to think i missed out . aah ! [ chuckling ] i 'm kidding . molly : i know . rafe : it 's good to see you smile again . and there it goes . molly : you 're really leaving . rafe : the great and powerful family court has spoken . i should probably get home -- although home is n't with sam anymore . it 's with my uncle , silas clay . molly : you know what ? forget clay . his name is mud in my book . rafe : [ chuckles ] says the author . molly : i got to say i hate how this one ends . rafe : me , too . [ scene_break ] alexis : my whole life , i have inexplicably been drawn to men who liked to break the law . [ inhales deeply ] ironic , is n't it ? dangerous in the worst possible ways . shawn : wow . that 's how you see me ? alexis : i did n't . you were my `` cake and eat it , too `` guy -- rough around the edges , but safe enough to be okay . shawn : until now . alexis : i am not okay . [ sighs ] shawn : but you said you could n't turn me over to the cops . alexis : that 's right . shawn : i mean , that 's got to mean something . look , alexis , we can get through this . alexis : my decision has nothing to do with you . shawn : then what does it have to do with ? alexis : sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't mean to interrupt . i was -- i did n't hear anything . lulu : oh , there was nothing to hear . sonny : how is she ? dante : uh , there 's no change . [ clears throat ] really the same . lulu : i 'm gon na run home and grab a change of clothes . you need anything ? dante : i do n't know . maybe some coffee that does n't taste like mud . lulu : okay . anything for you , sonny ? sonny : no , i 'm good . thanks . lulu : my phone 's on me . okay ? dante : okay . lulu : i 'll be right back . dante : all right . lulu : okay . okay . dante : [ sniffles ] [ door closes ] sonny : i do n't know why this had to happen to you . i 'm so sorry , olivia . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] shawn : sonny 's the reason you 're not turning me over to the cops ? alexis : attorney - client privilege . if i turn you in , it leads the police to him , which would not be in his best interests . obviously . shawn : and part of you wants to , huh ? alexis : yes . shawn : because i 'm a killer . alexis : yes . shawn : yeah , well , so are you . alexis : i 'm sorry . what ? shawn : it meant a lot to you . you trusted me that night . you told me about what happened with kiefer . alexis : oh . because he was abusing my daughter , and i was protecting her . shawn : and i was protecting carly 's . alexis : how ? shawn : you saw kiefer in your headlights , and you never swerved . alexis : i can not believe you 're doing this . shawn : you hit him , and you left him lying by the road . i mean , the boy might have lived if you 'd called the ambulance , but , no , no , no , no . no . you did n't . and he died . so , how the hell are you gon na just sit there , oh , and judge me ? we 're not that different , are we ? [ scene_break ] sonny : when you were off looking for lulu , and we did n't know what was going on ... [ sighs ] ... your mom , you know , helped me out a lot . she kept telling me stories about when you were a kid and how strong you were , even back then . dante : father / son camping trip ? she liked that . sonny : you know , i know this sounds kind of strange , but she was kind of like my lifeline . i know we have n't been together for , you know , so long and everything , but ... it scares me , you know , when i 'm not with her . i think she 's gon na slip away . dante : [ sniffles ] then why did you leave before ? where 'd you go ? [ scene_break ] carly : lulu . oh , god , olivia . she 's , um -- she 's not -- lulu : no . olivia is fine . carly : oh , thank god . lulu : well , she 's not fine . she 's the same . dante and sonny are with her . carly : come in . come in . good to see you . lulu : you , too . carly : so , um , what 's going on ? why are you here ? lulu : i actually came to apologize . carly : for what ? lulu : the whole debacle with franco -- working with him to plan that party . carly : oh , god . it 's okay . i mean , you did n't even know who he was . it 's so good to have you back , you know ? [ chuckles ] it is . i mean , things have been crazy . i meant to come by and see how you were doing . lulu : thanks . it 's just that now that i do remember -- just to think that i worked with him -- the same man who kidnapped me and wired me to explode . carly : yeah , franco ... lulu : yeah , but that does n't really come close to what he put your family through . how are you holding up ? carly : okay . yeah . what ? [ chuckles nervously ] lulu : do n't tell me that it does n't drive you crazy that that bastard is still alive . [ scene_break ] aj : i think you could use a breather . come on . michael : yeah . morgan : you gon na run away , too ? kiki : no . [ door closes ] morgan : kiki , just -- just talk to me . what 's going on between you and michael ? okay , if he ca n't stand you so much , then -- then why is he telling you what happened to him ? kiki : you know that saying , `` it 's always easier to talk to a stranger `` ? morgan : yeah , but you 're not a stranger . kiki : i 'm close enough , okay ? michael needed to vent , and i was there , but now i 'm here , in our new digs , okay -- far away from your brother . [ scene_break ] aj : so , when you told me you kissed your brother 's girlfriend , you , uh , meant her -- your cousin . michael : i did n't know she was my cousin . why did n't you tell me her name was kiki ? aj : i - i did n't think it was important . i 'm sorry . michael : this is a nightmare . [ scene_break ] kiki : i 'll find us some beers , okay , captain ? we 'll celebrate . morgan : all right , i 'll come with you . franco : no , no , no , no . please . stay . i 'd love to have a word with my daughter 's boyfriend . aj : look , if you need me , i 'll , uh be in the living room , okay ? [ scene_break ] michael : [ sighs ] okay , look -- about that whole kiss -- kiki : there was no kiss . do you understand ? it never happened -- never . [ scene_break ] taylor : consider the family - planning aspect covered . tj : you just carry those around ? taylor : not for just anyone , but tonight 's a special occasion , or it was supposed to be . and i 'm into it . unless you are n't . [ scene_break ] molly : will i see before you leave ? rafe : i doubt it . i asked when we were taking off , and my uncle said something that included `` crack `` and `` dawn . `` molly : so , this is goodbye . rafe : like blanche says in `` streetcar , `` `` i do n't want realism . `` molly : `` i want magic . `` so , i can pretend i 'll see you again . rafe : we both can . i do n't ever want to say goodbye to you , molly ... even if it really is . molly : okay , then . rafe : so long , molly - not - mary - or- mary - margaret . i 'll see you sometime . molly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you can not compare what i did to what you did to franco . shawn : and why not ? alexis : because it is totally different -- that 's why . shawn : because you ran the boy down and left him to die , as opposed to waiting in the window with a gun ? alexis : that is not -- shawn : we both were protecting people we care about ! alexis : hi , honey . molly : hi . alexis : how was your walk ? molly : uh , it was good , but i 'm really tired , so i 'm gon na [ voice breaking ] go to bed . alexis : [ sighs ] shawn : look , if you want to talk to her , that 's fine . we 're done here . [ scene_break ] sonny : i left so i could clear my head , get some things straightened out . dante : and did you ? sonny : is there something you want to ask me , dante ? dante : all i care about is my mother getting better and the person who hurt her [ sniffles ] them getting what they deserve . [ scene_break ] carly : it 's hard on everyone that franco 's back in town , but , you know , what can you do ? you should go and , um , you know , get back to the hospital . lulu : yeah , you know , dante has been there around the clock . carly : i 'm sure he has . lulu : i just wish that there was something i could do that would make him feel better . carly : i 'm sure you being there is all he really needs . lulu : really , he just needs his mother to wake up from this hell and to find the person who put her there . [ scene_break ] franco : i really hope you did n't inherit your father 's propensity for violence . sonny can be so moody . may i ask you something ? michael 's jason 's nephew , but he 's named after sonny . you 're sonny 's son . you 're named after jason . do n't you think that 's a little weird ? aj : how 's it going in here ? franco : it 's going great . great . just trying to unravel the family dynamic . you know , the shifting alliances , the underlying threat of violence . your parents want me dead . you know that , right ? morgan : yeah . can you blame them ? franco : not really . aj ca n't , either . can you , big brother ? [ chuckles ] oh ! i love having the upper hand . it 's just so much fun . [ scene_break ] michael : it was just one kiss , right ? i mean , it 's not like we knew we were ... kiki : obviously ! michael : so , we 'll just forget about it . kiki : it 's already forgotten . morgan : hey , there you are . no luck with those beers ? kiki : [ sighs ] not yet . morgan : oh , that 's okay . i want a tour , anyway . how 's the , uh -- the bed in the suite ? what are we talking -- king ? queen ? kiki : let 's check it out . morgan : hey . um , i 'm really sorry that i went off earlier . michael : that 's okay . look , um , i 'm sorry , too . morgan : yeah , and about what that guy did to you -- i really wish you -- michael : morgan , i - i know . morgan : all right . i 'll see you around . michael : yeah . see ya . morgan : all right . come on . | michael and kiki are finally introduced as cousins . franco mentions the rape , forcing michael to tell morgan what happened in pentonville . kiki concludes that the person michael said put the wheels in motion must be her father . morgan is upset that michael told kiki and not him . kiki says she was just there when michael needed to vent . kiki sees michael in the foyer . he wants to discuss their kiss . she says it never happened . in the living room , franco tells morgan that he hopes he did n't inherit his father 's propensity for violence . he asks morgan if he does n't think it is odd that he was named after his brother 's uncle . franco asks morgan if he knows that his parents want him dead . morgan finally speaks and asks him if he can blame them . franco says no and adds that his own brother wants him dead too . he looks at aj and laughs . he says it 's fun to have the upper hand . morgan sees kiki and michael in the foyer . he apologizes to michael for going off on him and then goes upstairs with kiki . | <s>[INST] kiki : what does mikey have to do with my family ? morgan : he 's one of them . kiki : he 's what ? aj : michael , i 'd like you to meet kiki jerome . morgan : michael 's your cousin . michael : uh ... no , she 's not . my cousin 's name is lauren . kiki : that 's me . i 'm lauren .

[ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] shawn : now you know everything -- who i am , what i do , what i did . so , what are you gon na do ? alexis : are you even sorry ? shawn : you did n't -- you did n't ask me that . alexis : because it seems like all you care about is whether you 'll be caught . meanwhile , there 's a woman -- a mother -- who may die . shawn : yeah , well , if it comes to that , i will never forgive myself , but unfortunately , what happens to olivia is out of my control . alexis : but me , on the other hand ... shawn : you gon na turn me in ? [ scene_break ] [ door opens , closes ] carly : [ gasps ] oh , my god . sonny , you scared the hell out of me . what are you doing here ? sonny : like i told you ... if olivia dies , you die . carly : did olivia die ? [ scene_break ] michael : your real name 's not kiki ? kiki : my name is lauren katherine jerome . my mom started calling me kiki when i was a baby , and the name stuck . michael : okay , so -- so -- so , it 's true your name 's lauren ? we really are cousins . [ scene_break ] tj : yeah , yeah , that 's her . taylor : who 's the guy ? tj : rafe . taylor : right . molly 's rescue mission . taking it a little far with the whole mouth - to - mouth thing [ chuckling ] do n't you think ? sorry . you okay ? tj : [ sighs ] can we please get out of here already ? taylor : where to ? tj : anywhere but here . singer : guess it all just goes to show [ engine turns over ] [ scene_break ] rafe : wow . molly : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you do n't need me to turn you in . the cops will be all over this . franco 's one thing -- nobody would go above or beyond to find his killer , but you shot an innocent woman . shawn : by accident . alexis : there is no accident in the court of law . anna 's probably on her way to arrest you right now . shawn : i already saw the commissioner . alexis : you did ? shawn : she questioned me up and down -- cut me loose . alexis : [ sighs ] they have n't built a case , yet . it 's just a matter of time . shawn : with not enough evidence . there 's only one person who knows what i did . i 'm looking at her . alexis : are n't you forgetting someone ? [ scene_break ] carly : oh , my god , sonny . olivia ca n't be dead . i 'm so sor -- sonny : save it ! she 's not dead . she is n't doing any better . carly : then what -- what are you doing ? sonny : i just wanted you to know how serious i was and what was gon na happen to you if she dies . carly : okay , you 're serious . now get out . sonny : do n't give me any orders ! i give the orders now . do you have any idea how much pain you 've caused -- how much trouble and chaos ? carly : i know ! i know olivia 's fighting for her life because of me -- i know ! sonny : not just olivia ! what about her son ? what about my son ? [ voice breaking ] dante 's in the hospital right now , praying to god that his mother does n't die . [ scene_break ] lulu : please wake up , olivia . if you do n't , you 're not gon na get to hear my apology . the way i treated you at the airport when i could n't remember who you were -- i am sorry . [ sniffles ] okay ? i am so sorry . dante : okay , stop , okay ? that 's not your fault , and she knows that . lulu : i know . i just ... you have never been anything but wonderful to me , and i want to have a chance to tell you what that means . dante : [ sniffles ] okay , you 'll get your chance , okay ? lulu : i know . i know . [ sniffles ] and i am not gon na waste it . i promise . dante : no , 'cause we will spend every day making you know just how important you are . lulu : we 're gon na hover . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : and we are going to appreciate you [ sniffles ] until it is pretty annoying . [ both chuckle ] dante : that 's the falconeri way . lulu : we love you so much . we love you so much , and so do a lot of other people , so you have to pull through , okay ? dante : [ sniffles ] let 's make you a deal , okay ? you hold up your end of the bargain , and i 'll hold up mine . [ sniffles ] open your eyes . open your eyes , ma , and i promise you i will find the person responsible for this , even if it is sonny ... and he was just trying to get rid of franco . [ scene_break ] franco : maybe i 'm missing something , but would n't you be glad to find out that you have a cousin ? aj : and this is morgan 's girlfriend . morgan : and your niece . aj : yeah , no , i know . i just -- i just was n't aware that you two were dating . michael : so , uh , why did n't you tell me you were a quartermaine ? kiki : why did n't you tell me you were a quartermaine ? michael : why would i ? kiki : exactly . i knew that sonny was your adopted father , but i did n't know that aj -- morgan : aj was your bio - dad ? yep , you two are legitimately related . ai n't family grand ? [ scene_break ] rafe : that was a good kiss . molly : yeah . [ chuckles ] rafe : uh , the stars fell on alabama for me . molly : what ? rafe : something my mom used to say when there was magic . and that ... was magic . but it was something else for you , was n't it ? molly : oh . no . it was really nice . rafe : but it would have been better if you 'd been kissing tj . [ scene_break ] tj : tell me i did not just see that . taylor : i wish i could , but i saw it , too . tj : what was she doing with him ? taylor : you really do n't want me to answer that , right ? tj : i mean , it 's weird enough that she 's out in general , but her nephew 's sick , so she throws on a prom dress ? really ? taylor : was n't exactly sitting vigil crib - side , now , was she ? tj : uh , no . and to think i was all worried . i sent shawn to tell molly i was thinking about her , but for what ? 'cause she definitely was n't thinking about me . [ sighs ] taylor : you sure you do n't want some ? it might make you feel better . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] shawn : i did n't tell anyone else about this , besides you . so , you think someone else knows ? alexis : sonny -- you know , the guy that paid you to take out the enemy ? or however the hell he puts it . shawn : did you or did you not tell me sonny signed off on taking franco out ? carly : yes , we discussed it , remember ? you were there . shawn : was it or was it not a lie ? carly : sonny came up with the whole idea , okay ? he paid off the da so franco could be out on the street . you were there . he brought you in on this . shawn : and he called it off . carly : so ? sonny and i had a difference of opinion on timing . shawn : sonny called it off , carly , and you put it back on ! carly : franco needed to die . shawn : who said anything about sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know what i did , sonny , 'cause i have n't stopped thinking about it since it happened . when i saw that olivia was hit instead of franco , i - i just wanted to curl up and die . i mean , you have to know -- you know that when i gave shawn the go - ahead , i never meant -- sonny : you never meant for anybody to get hurt , except franco . that old song and dance does n't cut it -- not this time . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , i can relate to what my father may have done , because i think , in his head , he was trying to do the whole world a favor . lulu : well , that 's not how the world works . it should n't . dante : you know , if i ever start thinking like that , i 'd better throw away my badge . [ sighs ] do you know why i became a cop in the first place ? lulu : 'cause you look really good in blue . dante : [ chuckles ] it was to protect people . protect people -- you know , people who do n't have bodyguards , people who do n't have trust funds , and people who get caught in cross fires . that 's what gives my job meaning , you know ? that 's what gives the law meaning . lulu : yeah , and that is exactly why you have to do your job . dante : [ breathes deeply ] my father had means , and he certainly had motivation . lulu : yeah , he did , but so did a lot of other people . dante : other people ? like who ? lulu : carly . [ scene_break ] sonny : damn it , carly . i - i tried to keep you out of this , but you insisted that , you know -- you made me think that we were gon na work together as parents -- be a team -- to take down the guy who hurt our son , jason , sam . i went against my gut and let you in . when i called off that hit , i had my reasons , but you did n't listen . you went behind my back , and look what happened . olivia 's fighting for her life . franco is still alive ! he knows the hit was meant for him and that we planned it ! [ scene_break ] michael : you said that you were , uh , upset about your dad -- that he was some messed - up criminal . that -- that was him ? your -- your father is franco ? kiki : yeah , now you know why i was so freaked out . franco : well , you 're a little less freaked out since we talked , right ? michael : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe this is happening . franco : all right . look ... to say that i have issues is a bit of an understatement . kiki : is it ? because you told me that when you found out that you had a twin brother named jason , you hated him so much that you turned evil , and then once he died , you became nice again . am i right ? franco : well , when you say it like that , i ... kiki : yeah . franco : look , you want to tell her , please , what i told you ? look , michael is my nephew , and say what you want about me -- lord knows everybody always does -- but i would never deliberately harm my own nephew . i have proof , right ? i - i showed you the proof . look , i 'm not responsible for the rape . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . whoa . what did you just say ? michael : m -- morgan . morgan : what is he talking about -- what rape ? [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversations ] molly : i do n't know what to say . rafe : you do n't have to say anything . molly : no , i do . rafe , you are so important to me , and , you know , i 've ... i 've never had a lot of friends in general , but especially not guy friends , and life just is n't gon na be the same when you go . rafe : well , for me , either . molly : but you 're right . [ chuckles ] as great of a kisser as you are , i do still want to be with tj . rafe : well , i hope you two get back together . molly : really ? rafe : yeah , i mean , i want you to have someone to lean on , and if i 'm not around to be that person , tj 's the next best thing . molly : well , it does n't really matter now , if he 's not interested anymore . rafe : he 's interested . molly : [ chuckling ] oh , and how do you know ? rafe : are you kidding ? look at you , molly . i mean , listen to you . you 're amazing . i mean , he even told shawn he was worried about you . molly : yeah , but why ? i mean , not why was he worried , but why send shawn ? are tj and i really so far apart that he could n't call me himself ? maybe he was just too busy with taylor . [ scene_break ] taylor : crazy , is n't it ? i mean , you almost disinvited me tonight because molly had a change of heart . tj : [ sighs ] so she said . taylor : [ scoffs ] she sure has an interesting way of showing it . tj : [ sighs ] you know what ? seriously ? she has the nerve to pretend like everything is all good with us again , and the next thing i know , she 's in the park in a dress , dancing with that tool . taylor : not just dancing . tj : kissing , right ? [ scoffs ] and not the way she said it happened before . molly wanted that . she leaned in for it and everything -- you saw . taylor : girl is definitely a player . i think i know how to make you feel better . tj : really ? 'cause this booze is n't helping . taylor : yeah , but this might . molly should n't be the only one having fun tonight . [ scene_break ] lulu : whatever was going on between her and sonny -- dante , he looked pissed . dante : well , he 's scared . he 's worried about my mother . we all are . lulu : it looked like way more than that , okay ? sonny had carly pinned up against the wall like he was letting her know that there was no way out , and for probably what was the first time in her life , carly actually looked intimidated . dante : well , they both despise franco . lulu : yeah , well , they both have reason to . dante : so , you 're saying they were involved in this hit together ? [ scene_break ] carly : you can yell at me all night long , sonny . you 're not telling me anything i have n't already told myself . i know what i did to dante and to olivia . sonny : what about shawn -- has it sunk in that you turned his life upside down ? has it ? 'cause i was real careful with him when he came to work for me . this was the first time that i asked him to do something like this . you were right there when we asked him , and he agreed . you know why he agreed , carly ? because of you . he did not want franco to be able to terrorize you or josslyn . [ scene_break ] alexis : of course , sonny ordered the hit . you work for him . shawn : so do you . alexis : oh , i do n't commit murder on his behalf . shawn : oh , no . no , no , no . you just cover it up . alexis : are you really gon na turn this around on me now ? shawn : so you do n't bend the law to make sure he walks ? alexis : that is not the issue . do you honestly expect me to believe that -- that you acted alone here -- that you , shawn , decided you were gon na save port charles -- you were gon na free them from franco ? yeah , i did n't think so . sonny ordered the hit . olivia got in the way . and you know what ? the police are the least of your problems , because sonny will probably have you killed , and maybe he 'll even do the honors himself . shawn : quite possible . but i 'm not the first on his hit list . as upset as sonny is with me , he 's even more furious with someone else . [ scene_break ] sonny : shawn had a lot at stake with this move . he trusted you . he trusted us . and -- and you lied to him . you took advantage of him . you told him that i put the hit back on the table . you made a bad situation worse . now , hey , you know what ? i know -- i know alexis . how long before she finds out what happened ? how long before that son of a bitch franco talks ? ! carly : he said he was n't gon na say anything yet , sonny , okay ? sonny : he 's just waiting to use it against us , carly ! [ scene_break ] aj : what the hell is wrong with you ? morgan : michael . michael . m -- michael , he did n't mean that someone ... they actually ... michael : [ sighing ] yeah . yeah , he did . morgan : someone ... michael : raped me . [ sighs ] morgan , i did n't want you to find out like this . morgan : when ? michael : pentonville . morgan : oh , my god . michael : i 'm -- i 'm okay . morgan : no . no , no , no . it 's not okay . why did n't you tell me this ? michael : you were just a kid , okay ? i did n't want to put something like that on you . look , the guy who did it -- he 's dead now , okay ? jason killed him . morgan : good . but w - what does he have to do with any of this ? michael : franco made us all think that he sent carter after me . morgan : carter ? michael : it was the guy 's name . morgan : i do n't bel -- i do n't believe this . michael : apparently , it was all just a way to mess with jason , and after he sent carter at me -- franco : that was just for jason 's benefit . i -- michael : he then called it off . franco : yeah , i did , and there 's proof , right ? there 's a video . yo -- you saw the -- will you tell her you ... saw the video ? kiki : after you practically gave him the idea ! franco : i told carter specifically -- kiki : i ca n't believe this is going on . oh , my gosh . franco : okay -- kiki : you 're the reason why all of that happened to him ? ! franco : no . kiki : gosh , you told me -- you were so upset , talking to me about the guy that supposedly set the whole thing up , and here , the whole time , it was my father ? ! michael : it 's okay . it 's okay . kiki : it 's not okay ! ugh , it 's making me sick to my stomach . franco : you need to -- kiki : do n't touch me ! i do n't understand ! franco : come on . kiki ! kiki : do n't call me kiki , either ! morgan : everyone , just back up ! kiki : oh , god . morgan : you knew what happened to my brother ? how ? michael : i told her . [ scene_break ] tj : oh , wait , wait , wait . um , wait . um ... i 'm sorry . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't do this . molly : you know what ? you are absolutely right . knowing tj 's not at prom with taylor does make me feel a little better . there 's just something about her . rafe : like the fact that she 's macking on your boyfriend ? molly : no , it 's more than that . it -- i do n't know what it is , but i definitely do n't trust her . rafe : well , i do n't blame you . molly : you know , i went by kelly 's yesterday to get some food , and i saw them through the window . rafe : tj and taylor ? molly : mm - hmm . rafe : did they see you ? molly : not at first , no . well , actually , tj never did . he went back into the kitchen , but when taylor looked out , it was so weird . she smiled and waved . rafe : saying hi ? molly : no . it was more like she was glad i knew they were together . rafe : she got off on it . that 's lame . molly : no , i 'm the one who felt lame -- like i was the dishrag standing outside without a prayer of keeping him . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i do n't know what to do , sonny . i - i ca n't feel any worse than i do right now . sonny : yeah , you could . you could feel worse . even if olivia makes it through this , we have anna devane , we have dante hot on our trails . and then there 's shawn , who you betrayed . i would not blame him for ratting you out . you got a lot of praying to do . [ scene_break ] alexis : who else could sonny be unloading on ? olivia ? i mean , damn her for getting in the way . how about god ? god -- why did he allow this to happen ? there 's always franco . you know , his return from the dead was most inconvenient . shawn : alexis ... alexis : no . i really would like to know who 's sparing you from sonny 's wrath . shawn : alexis , you never answered my question . you know , we 've been together for a while now . alexis : we have . shawn : some of the best times of my life . alexis : mine , too . shawn : so , after all of that , what 's it gon na be ? are you gon na turn me in ? alexis : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] morgan : is this for real ? kiki knew about this before me ? michael : it just -- it just came up . morgan : how ? how ? `` oh , it 's your turn to buy paper towels . oh , by the way , i was raped in prison `` ? michael : oh , come on , i know better than to ask you guys to buy anything . morgan : i 'm your brother , okay ? i could have handled this . kiki : morgan , the important thing is that he 's telling you now . morgan : yeah , well , what 's also important is you did n't tell me , at all . kiki : he asked me not to . michael : look , i wanted you to hear it from me . morgan : dude , you do n't even like her or trust her ! at least , that 's what you keep telling me . and now you 're gon na confide in her over me ? michael : it was n't like that , morgan . morgan : then what was it like ? michael : i was going through something rough , okay ? kiki : we were just talking , morgan . morgan : i - i never said you were n't . what the hell is going on here ? kiki : nothing 's going on . morgan : you and my girlfriend got real close all of a sudden -- real quick . franco : okay , kid . if you could stop frothing at the mouth for just a minute , maybe you would realize -- kiki : do n't call him `` kid . `` franco : it 's genetics , right ? they share dna . what 's the big deal ? [ scene_break ] dante : it does n't add up . if they were in on the hit together , why was sonny threatening carly ? lulu : maybe it was a friendly reminder to keep quiet ? dante : i mean , carly hates franco , and she 's not big on taking risks or dealing with consequences . she 's always had jason to clean up after her . lulu : i know , but now jason 's gone . dante : sonny 's not big on damage control , so , if he was angry at her , he must have thought she botched the hit . lulu : oh . hey . look who 's back . [ scene_break ] tj : oh , you know -- you know what ? i 'm sorry . uh , i 'm really sorry . taylor : [ laughs ] do n't be sorry on my account . tj : look , i just do n't want you to think i have expectations . taylor : look , i came to live with my brother , so i could finally spend a summer doing whatever the hell i want to do . tj : like ... taylor : meet new people . and by `` people , `` i mean guys . and who 's the first person i lay eyes on when i get here ? you . and i have n't stopped thinking about you since that day at kelly 's . sounds stupid , but it feels like it was meant to be or something . tj : it does n't sound stupid at all . taylor : i 'm sorry about molly . tj : thanks . taylor : okay , but we 're in high school , tj . i mean , did you really think you guys would be forever ? tj : i do n't know . i really do n't . taylor : [ chuckles ] people move on , okay ? molly obviously has . so , there are two things you can do about it -- sit around moping and being all depressed , or you can move on , too ... with me . tj : um ... taylor , i really -- i really , really like you . um -- taylor : so , then , there should n't be a problem . tj : it 's just that , um , you know , i do n't -- i do n't have a -- you know , anything . taylor : lucky for us , i have `` you know , anything `` right here . [ scene_break ] molly : i 'm freaking out over nothing , are n't i ? tj would never go for a girl like that , who looks like she knows something i do n't . and she probably does . rafe : taylor , huh ? i 'm starting to think i missed out . aah ! [ chuckling ] i 'm kidding . molly : i know . rafe : it 's good to see you smile again . and there it goes . molly : you 're really leaving . rafe : the great and powerful family court has spoken . i should probably get home -- although home is n't with sam anymore . it 's with my uncle , silas clay . molly : you know what ? forget clay . his name is mud in my book . rafe : [ chuckles ] says the author . molly : i got to say i hate how this one ends . rafe : me , too . [ scene_break ] alexis : my whole life , i have inexplicably been drawn to men who liked to break the law . [ inhales deeply ] ironic , is n't it ? dangerous in the worst possible ways . shawn : wow . that 's how you see me ? alexis : i did n't . you were my `` cake and eat it , too `` guy -- rough around the edges , but safe enough to be okay . shawn : until now . alexis : i am not okay . [ sighs ] shawn : but you said you could n't turn me over to the cops . alexis : that 's right . shawn : i mean , that 's got to mean something . look , alexis , we can get through this . alexis : my decision has nothing to do with you . shawn : then what does it have to do with ? alexis : sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't mean to interrupt . i was -- i did n't hear anything . lulu : oh , there was nothing to hear . sonny : how is she ? dante : uh , there 's no change . [ clears throat ] really the same . lulu : i 'm gon na run home and grab a change of clothes . you need anything ? dante : i do n't know . maybe some coffee that does n't taste like mud . lulu : okay . anything for you , sonny ? sonny : no , i 'm good . thanks . lulu : my phone 's on me . okay ? dante : okay . lulu : i 'll be right back . dante : all right . lulu : okay . okay . dante : [ sniffles ] [ door closes ] sonny : i do n't know why this had to happen to you . i 'm so sorry , olivia . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] shawn : sonny 's the reason you 're not turning me over to the cops ? alexis : attorney - client privilege . if i turn you in , it leads the police to him , which would not be in his best interests . obviously . shawn : and part of you wants to , huh ? alexis : yes . shawn : because i 'm a killer . alexis : yes . shawn : yeah , well , so are you . alexis : i 'm sorry . what ? shawn : it meant a lot to you . you trusted me that night . you told me about what happened with kiefer . alexis : oh . because he was abusing my daughter , and i was protecting her . shawn : and i was protecting carly 's . alexis : how ? shawn : you saw kiefer in your headlights , and you never swerved . alexis : i can not believe you 're doing this . shawn : you hit him , and you left him lying by the road . i mean , the boy might have lived if you 'd called the ambulance , but , no , no , no , no . no . you did n't . and he died . so , how the hell are you gon na just sit there , oh , and judge me ? we 're not that different , are we ? [ scene_break ] sonny : when you were off looking for lulu , and we did n't know what was going on ... [ sighs ] ... your mom , you know , helped me out a lot . she kept telling me stories about when you were a kid and how strong you were , even back then . dante : father / son camping trip ? she liked that . sonny : you know , i know this sounds kind of strange , but she was kind of like my lifeline . i know we have n't been together for , you know , so long and everything , but ... it scares me , you know , when i 'm not with her . i think she 's gon na slip away . dante : [ sniffles ] then why did you leave before ? where 'd you go ? [ scene_break ] carly : lulu . oh , god , olivia . she 's , um -- she 's not -- lulu : no . olivia is fine . carly : oh , thank god . lulu : well , she 's not fine . she 's the same . dante and sonny are with her . carly : come in . come in . good to see you . lulu : you , too . carly : so , um , what 's going on ? why are you here ? lulu : i actually came to apologize . carly : for what ? lulu : the whole debacle with franco -- working with him to plan that party . carly : oh , god . it 's okay . i mean , you did n't even know who he was . it 's so good to have you back , you know ? [ chuckles ] it is . i mean , things have been crazy . i meant to come by and see how you were doing . lulu : thanks . it 's just that now that i do remember -- just to think that i worked with him -- the same man who kidnapped me and wired me to explode . carly : yeah , franco ... lulu : yeah , but that does n't really come close to what he put your family through . how are you holding up ? carly : okay . yeah . what ? [ chuckles nervously ] lulu : do n't tell me that it does n't drive you crazy that that bastard is still alive . [ scene_break ] aj : i think you could use a breather . come on . michael : yeah . morgan : you gon na run away , too ? kiki : no . [ door closes ] morgan : kiki , just -- just talk to me . what 's going on between you and michael ? okay , if he ca n't stand you so much , then -- then why is he telling you what happened to him ? kiki : you know that saying , `` it 's always easier to talk to a stranger `` ? morgan : yeah , but you 're not a stranger . kiki : i 'm close enough , okay ? michael needed to vent , and i was there , but now i 'm here , in our new digs , okay -- far away from your brother . [ scene_break ] aj : so , when you told me you kissed your brother 's girlfriend , you , uh , meant her -- your cousin . michael : i did n't know she was my cousin . why did n't you tell me her name was kiki ? aj : i - i did n't think it was important . i 'm sorry . michael : this is a nightmare . [ scene_break ] kiki : i 'll find us some beers , okay , captain ? we 'll celebrate . morgan : all right , i 'll come with you . franco : no , no , no , no . please . stay . i 'd love to have a word with my daughter 's boyfriend . aj : look , if you need me , i 'll , uh be in the living room , okay ? [ scene_break ] michael : [ sighs ] okay , look -- about that whole kiss -- kiki : there was no kiss . do you understand ? it never happened -- never . [ scene_break ] taylor : consider the family - planning aspect covered . tj : you just carry those around ? taylor : not for just anyone , but tonight 's a special occasion , or it was supposed to be . and i 'm into it . unless you are n't . [ scene_break ] molly : will i see before you leave ? rafe : i doubt it . i asked when we were taking off , and my uncle said something that included `` crack `` and `` dawn . `` molly : so , this is goodbye . rafe : like blanche says in `` streetcar , `` `` i do n't want realism . `` molly : `` i want magic . `` so , i can pretend i 'll see you again . rafe : we both can . i do n't ever want to say goodbye to you , molly ... even if it really is . molly : okay , then . rafe : so long , molly - not - mary - or- mary - margaret . i 'll see you sometime . molly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you can not compare what i did to what you did to franco . shawn : and why not ? alexis : because it is totally different -- that 's why . shawn : because you ran the boy down and left him to die , as opposed to waiting in the window with a gun ? alexis : that is not -- shawn : we both were protecting people we care about ! alexis : hi , honey . molly : hi . alexis : how was your walk ? molly : uh , it was good , but i 'm really tired , so i 'm gon na [ voice breaking ] go to bed . alexis : [ sighs ] shawn : look , if you want to talk to her , that 's fine . we 're done here .

bridget : what does that mean ? deacon : i am gon na get the hell out of this bed , and i am gon na walk again . and if you 're worried about having a husband who 's gon na be stuck in a wheelchair , that 's not -- bridget : wait , is that how little you think of a me ? you think i would turn my back on you because you 're in a wheelchair ? what is wrong with you ? do n't you think if i really loved you , if i really wanted to marry you , it would n't make a difference if you ever walked again ? deacon : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . okay , you 're right . i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm trying to make this better , and i 'm just making in worse . bridget , i honestly thought that we were past this . i never would 've proposed to you so soon , but i love you . you know , you coming in here and bringing some other guy 's ring and waving it around in my face 'cause that 's the only reason you think that you could get through to me -- i got to tell you , you know , getting shot down like that -- that hurts like hell . bridget : deacon , i did n't -- deacon : it 's okay . i know , shh . i know . i just -- i just want a chance . please do n't walk out that room without at least letting me know that i get a second chance . megan : any idea where ridge went ?

' bout deacon -- asking bridget to marry him , it just -- or at least that was the plan , his plan when i left . you must really be bummed . oscar : guess again . amber : look , you do n't have to be all macho about it . i mean , it 's a kick in the gut , or it 's got to be . i mean , losing the girl , especially to her ex . oscar : i did n't lose the girl . i beat sharpe to the punch . amber : what ? oscar : i asked bridget to marry me . she said yes . me and bridget are engaged . bridget : that 's kind of what i want to talk to you about , deacon . deacon : why you 're not wearing your ring . bridget : look , i know you have n't been out of surgery that long , but -- deacon : no , hey , i 'm doing great . hell , i 'm doing better than great . i got feeling in my foot . i mean , i 'm sorry . it 's just i got all this emotion . bridget : i know . i know . i know . you have a lot to be thankful for . deacon : yeah , and you 're at the top of that list . bridget , what 's -- what 's wrong ? what -- what 's going on ? okay . okay , i think i get it . you 're not wearing the ring because you do n't want to upset him . bridget : upset who ? deacon : your father . you do n't want him to know how serious things are between us , right ? megan : can i get you anything ? eric : i could use a good , stiff drink . megan : just one ? eric : yeah , just one . but fix two . join me . megan : okay , i will . been that kind of day , huh ? eric : megan , it 's been that kind of day for about six weeks now . megan : that 's for sure . what can i do to make it better ? eric : you 're doing it . you 're still here . brooke is gone . ridge is gone . the company has completely changed , and you 're still here . i 'm very grateful , megan , for your -- your concern and your loyalty . thank you . megan : you 're welcome . eric : and for keeping sally spectra at bay . megan : cheers to that . do you think she 's heard the results by now ? eric : i do n't know . i do n't care . it 's ridge and brooke i 'm concerned about now . oh , they 've come so far , worked so hard for everything they 've accomplished and now -- how could this not tear their marriage apart ? ridge : what are you doing ? brooke : i 've put you through so much already . the sooner i leave , the sooner you can get on with your life . ridge : no . no , no , no , no , logan . look , there 's something you need to know about us and our future . brooke : there is no future . i 'm sorry , ridge . i 'm sorry for the pain that you 're in and the life that we 're not going to get back because of me , because of what i did . and i let you down again , even worse this time . oh , god , no wonder you 're ashamed of me . i 'm ashamed of myself . ridge : i 'm not ashamed of you , logan . i 'm in love with you . and somehow -- somehow , we 're gon na get through this . and we 're gon na get through it together , do you hear me ? amber : uh -- i do n't get it . i mean , you and bridget -- oscar : gettin ' hitched . amber : but i saw the ring and how excited deacon was . i mean , he was hell bent on proposing . oscar : yeah , tell me about it . he had that ring on her finger before she knew what was happening . amber : wait , wait , wait . you 're telling me that she did n't stop him ? even after she had already said yes to you ? oscar : look -- he caught her by surprise . all right ? and besides , she did n't want to turn him down right before he went into surgery and -- i do n't need to explain this to you . she 's over there clearing the whole thing up now . amber : hmm , right . keep telling yourself that . oscar : what 's that mean ? amber : it means that inside that big heart everyone claims that bridget 's got , there 's more going on than sympathy for her ex . oscar : you do n't know what you 're talking about . amber : fine , fine , keep burying your head , but if bridget and deacon had a chance to sort through their baggage , i 'm betting they 'd have something pretty special . oscar : really ? well , then it 's a good thing you 're not a bookie , because your instincts suck . amber : hmm , or so you 'd like to believe , but i 'm telling you -- oscar : no , no , amber ! i 'm telling you . bridget is not over there sorting things out with deacon , all right ? she 's there telling him that she 's getting married to me , yours truly . and she 's giving him his ring back that she never wanted in the first place , okay ? that 's it . it 's that simple . end of story . bridget : you know , i really wish you would n't do that . deacon : do what ? bridget : just assume you know what i 'm feeling here , because you do n't . not about this . deacon , i really -- i mean , i never expected you to propose . deacon : i know , but i mean , now that i have , you know -- look , it 's gon na take a while for your family to get used to the idea . especially your dad . bridget : and time just heals everything , is that it ? you know what ? it does n't . and it never will when it comes to how my father feels about you . deacon : well , he 's gon na have to deal . i mean , what choice does he have ? bridget : whoa , whoa , what choice does he have ? deacon : i just -- bridget : no , i 'm -- is he just supposed to forget everything you put me through and -- and give you his blessing because that 's what you want ? deacon : i know that it 's gon na be difficult for him in the beginning . and for your mom -- i know how much i hurt her . bridget : hurt her ? deacon , she 's raising your child . a child the two -- my god , what am i doing ? what -- what am i doing ? after everything you put me through , what am i doing ? how could i even think i ever had feelings for you again ? deacon : you do have feelings for me ! bridget , i 've seen it . i felt it . that night that we were alone before your father came in -- look , we have both been through so much in our lives . and i am not that guy anymore , and you 're not that same girl . bridget : no , you 're right . i am not . i 'm not that little naive girl whose heart you broke into a million pieces . but that did n't -- that did n't stop me from getting sucked in , huh ? because i felt responsible . deacon : is that what i am to you ? i 'm some kind of -- what ? what , some kind of an obligation , is that it ? bridget , you never would have let me put that ring on your finger if you did n't have feel -- bridget : i did n't let you ! you were on your way to surgery , and i did n't want to risk -- it does n't matter . okay ? you 're crazy if you think i 'd marry you after what we went through before . deacon : wait , bridget , wait , just please , i will spend the rest of my life trying to make up for what i did for you . i want to show you -- bridget : i do n't want to hear it , okay ? just , please , please , just stop it . you need to listen to me . i do n't love you . how could i , deacon , after everything you put me -- you see this ? this is my future . this ring , with the man i 'm going to marry . and it 's not you , deacon . it 's not you . megan : i still ca n't believe that it turned out this way . eric : it 's just a shock . it shocked everyone . megan : well , i know , but especially for brooke . she was so certain that -- eric : she was so certain that ridge was the father of the baby she was carrying . unfortunately , the test proved otherwise . megan : still , eric , they love each other so much , if they can just hold on to that . eric : yeah , but the reality is the baby that they both wanted so much to be theirs -- megan : is really nick 's . eric : megan , how could any relationship , even one as strong as ridge 's and brooke 's -- how could it possibly survive that ? ridge : logan ? you all right ? i 'm not going anywhere and neither are you . brooke : i 've put you through so much . i do n't deserve a life with you . ridge : hey , you do n't deserve what happened today . neither of us do . brooke : but this child that i 'm carrying -- we were so sure it was ours . ridge : listen to me . i want you to know right here and now that this is where i want to be -- right beside you , working this all through together , okay ? brooke : but this -- i ca n't ask you to -- ridge : you 're not asking me anything . i 'm just telling you this right now . i want to be with you . i want to be with you right here . we 're gon na have this child . and we 're gon na love him . yeah , i wish with everything inside me he was mine . but i am so in love with you , logan . i 'm so in love with you . how could i not love your child ? deacon : so you 're gon na marry ozzy ? bridget : yes . deacon : why ? bridget : because i love him . because i know he wo n't hurt me . deacon : the way that i did . bridget : you took so much from me . more than i think i even realized . and i know you 're sorry , and maybe that should make it okay , but it does n't . because the scars are still there , and i do n't know if they 're ever gon na go away . deacon : which is why you ca n't marry me . i mean , at least that 's what you 're saying , right ? bridget : what does that mean ? deacon : i am gon na get the hell out of this bed , and i am gon na walk again . and if you 're worried about having a husband who 's gon na be stuck in a wheelchair , that 's not -- bridget : wait , is that how little you think of a me ? you think i would turn my back on you because you 're in a wheelchair ? what is wrong with you ? do n't you think if i really loved you , if i really wanted to marry you , it would n't make a difference if you ever walked again ? deacon : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . okay , you 're right . i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm trying to make this better , and i 'm just making in worse . bridget , i honestly thought that we were past this . i never would 've proposed to you so soon , but i love you . you know , you coming in here and bringing some other guy 's ring and waving it around in my face 'cause that 's the only reason you think that you could get through to me -- i got to tell you , you know , getting shot down like that -- that hurts like hell . bridget : deacon , i did n't -- deacon : it 's okay . i know , shh . i know . i just -- i just want a chance . please do n't walk out that room without at least letting me know that i get a second chance . megan : any idea where ridge went ? eric : no , he just walked out on brooke at the doctor 's office . megan : i know how hard this hit him . eric , maybe in time -- i know . i just hate to think that this is the end of ridge and brooke . eric : i 'd hate to think that , too . but i have to be honest with you . i 'd be very surprised if it 's not . brooke : you make it sound so simple . ridge : no , there 's nothing simple about any of this . brooke : you really believe we can make it work ?

[ scene_break ] carly : why do n't we let patrick update us on your condition before we start pushing to go home ? sonny : i know i 've got a ways to go before i 'm 100 % , but i 'm feeling much better . patrick : well , that 's a good sign , but , sonny , there 's a lot -- sonny : see , the doctor says so , carly . just , i 'll go home , and i 'll get my legs working in no time . patrick : okay , your recovery is gon na require more than a change of scenery . we need to get together on a comprehensive plan to get you back -- sonny : i got to get out of the hospital , patrick . i got urgent business . i want to get home and be a good husband to carly . we got to fight ava jerome for the custody of -- of avery , my daughter . just give me the release papers , and we 'll just get this going . patrick : i 'm sorry , sonny . but you are nowhere near ready to go home yet . [ scene_break ] anna : i thought i saw carlos on the docks . kevin : well , that 's where they found his body . that would make sense . anna : no , that 's what does n't make sense . is the fact that the medical examiner concluded the body had only been dead a few weeks . kevin : and why is that odd ? anna : all right , kevin , as your patient , everything we say in here is confidential , right ? kevin : all of it . i 'm only required to alert the authorities if a patient threatens to hurt someone . anna : what if a crime 's already been committed ? kevin : well , that 's a gray area constantly challenged by law enforcement , but in almost every case , confidentiality remains intact . the question is , why ? what are you trying to tell me ? [ scene_break ] patrick : sonny , you suffered a critical gunshot wound . sonny : i know , patrick . i was there . patrick : that injury led to an aneurysm in your brain that nearly killed you . you have had two major surgeries that have led to complications that are gon na need continual monitoring . you have n't begun to regain the use of your legs yet . sonny : because you got me cooped up in this hospital ! patrick : come on , sonny , that is not why . you know that . you think you 're gon na go home and magically regain your mobility ? carly : okay , what do you recommend , patrick ? patrick : you need to get the house ready for a wheelchair . you need lifts . you need ramps . you need somebody to take a look at that chair and make sure that it 's comfortable for you . sonny : why go to all the trouble if i 'm gon na -- if -- that 's temporary , 'cause i 'm gon na beat this thing . carly : okay , you 're not listening to patrick . he 's trying to explain to you -- sonny : no , i 'm listening . every word . i just do n't agree .

[ chuckles ] olivia : what are you saying ? dante : well , uh , i think we 're gon na go ahead with that second child . we got the all - clear from a doctor , and we 're gon na have a consultation with the fertility specialist about implanting our embryo . olivia : ohh ! [ chuckles ] congratulations . well , that really takes some of the sting out of losing ned . thank god . i was starting to worry that there was some kind of problem between you and lulu . you were acting so strange . is there something that you 're not telling me ? dante : [ sighs ] you do n't miss a thing , do you , ma ? olivia : no , i do n't . i can read you like a book . so -- so tell me . is there something going on between you and lulu ? [ scene_break ] maxie : in light of what happened with you and lulu -- dillon : and that would n't have happened if you had n't betrayed my confidence . maxie : okay , yes , i did tell lulu about your feelings for her . but i do n't recall forcing you to trash dante or stick your tongue in her mouth . did i do that ? dillon : no . maxie : thank you . therefore , in light of the upcoming halloween festivities , i think it 's in everybody 's best interest that we find another place to shoot the movie . dillon : i ca n't ! i 'm already hemorrhaging money due to all these delays . maxie : that 's because you freak out every time you 're in lulu 's airspace . i get that you 're in the throes of unrequited love , but , dillon , you 're the director . you need to man up and direct . clearly , that ca n't happen on the haunted star , so we need to shoot the movie elsewhere . dillon : how ? hmm ? i do n't have the budget to start over somewhere else , okay ? if i ca n't finish this film here , the entire movie will be dead in the water . maxie : oh , dillon , must i remind you what i unfortunately witnessed yesterday ? dillon : poor choice of words . sorry . maxie : [ sighs ] dillon : but , maxie , there 's something you are not considering . if this movie folds , you 're out of a job . maxie : if we shoot somewhere else , i wo n't be . dillon : we can not shoot somewhere else , maxie , okay ? so , yeah , you will , and so will everybody else that 's been working on this movie with us . do you really want to let them all down like that ? do you really want to let my dream die like that ? lulu , i am sorry , okay ? ca n't you forgive me ? let me finish my movie here . [ scene_break ] julian : yeah , yeah . so it 's a done deal ? great . listen , thank you for keeping this quiet the whole time . you bet . alexis : all right , what is going on ? julian : what do you think is going on ? alexis : i do n't know what to think . you tell me . i mean , you repeatedly say that you 're out of the mob . julian : that 's correct . i am . alexis : so , what gives ? clearly you 're hiding something from me . frankly , i 'm not really okay with that . so if you want me to trust you , you 're gon na have to tell me what it is . julian : okay , okay , fine . i will tell you . just not here . i will tell you everything once we get home . so , what do you think ? alexis : um , i think it 's -- it 's very nice . it 's ... spectacular , really . w - who are we visiting ? julian : we 're not . alexis : okay , uh , then why are we here ? i thought we were going home so you could come clean about your clandestine goings on . julian : well , we are home , and i am coming clean . alexis : what ? julian : this . this right here is the reason for all those mysterious phone calls . see , i was on the phone with contractors and designers , just making sure that everything was perfect for you . this is your new house , alexis . [ door opens ] julian : welcome home . [ scene_break ] dante : uh , lulu and i hit a bit of a rough patch . olivia : what happened ? dante : look , ma , all you need to know is that i was wrong . it was my fault , and i 'm trying to make it up to my wife . olivia : okay . well , are you sure ? 'cause you still seem a little worried . dante : every time i think that we 're getting back to normal , i have to ... put out another fire . olivia : what kind of fire ? dante : [ sighs ] well , for one thing , dillon quartermaine told lulu that he has feelings for her , and then he kissed her . [ scene_break ] lulu : after everything that 's happened , i do n't feel comfortable with you filming here anymore . dillon : look , lulu , i promise that what i did before will not happen again . and if that means that we only discuss stuff about the movie while working on the set -- lulu : you know what i 'm having a problem with ? this whole apology has nothing to do with actually regretting what you 've done . dillon : yes , it does . lulu : see , i think that if you did n't need to shoot the movie here , you would back everything you said about my husband . i think that you would still back that kiss . maxie : well , i do n't think that 's the case . lulu : i think you probably think that i am doing this for dante , because you said bad things about him , but dante would never ask me to stop production . this decision is mine . and i 'm sorry , but it 's what i have to do . dillon : aw , man , i am such an idiot . maxie : okay , lulu , hold on a second . this is n't just dillon 's project . this is my movie , too . dillon : forget it , maxie . it 's over . maxie : no , i refuse to accept that . if we ca n't shoot here , then we need to get the money to film someplace else . dillon : i have already gotten $ 500,000 from my father . i ca n't ask him for anything else . maxie : why ? what 's the worst he could do besides say no ? oh , we could ask lulu 's brother . nikolas is loaded . dillon : nikolas already offered to fund my movie , but in exchange , he wanted my shares of elq , and i ca n't put the family business in jeopardy like that . maxie : well , if we only knew other people with money , like rich relatives . dillon : yeah ? maxie : oh , come on , dillon . you 're a quartermaine . dillon : i ca n't just pump my family for bucks . maxie : then what 's the point of being related to those back - biting lunatics ? dillon : well , what about you ? do n't you know anybody who 's loaded and would like to be a patron of the arts and of your acting career ? maxie : of course , i do n't know anyone like that . dillon : then we 're done . maxie : okay , fine , fine . if we ca n't get friends and family to help us , we 'll just have total strangers pay for it . lulu : you 're going to panhandle ? maxie : yeah , only legit and on the internet . dillon : like crowdsourcing ? maxie : bingo . indie filmmakers do it all the time to fund their movies . there 's actually a website called fabphilanthropy that people get online and search for projects that need their contribution . lulu : how do they make their money back ? maxie : they do n't . the artist just gives them , like , a small part in the movie or their name in the credits or a free dvd , depending on what they give . dillon : it ca n't hurt . lulu : i actually think it 's a great idea . it could potentially solve a lot of problems . maxie : great . then you could kick off the campaign by making the halloween party a benefit . lulu : what ? maxie : come on , lulu . scoffs ] now that dillon 's movie is homeless , do n't you have it in your heart to do this ? [ scene_break ] kevin : anna . have you committed a crime ? if you have , you can tell me . anna : duke and i had finally got back together , you know , after his thing with , um -- kevin : with lucy . i know . it happened some time after we were divorced . i 've dealt with it . this is about you . anna : so , we were gon na go away . we were gon na spend the rest of our lives together , away from all this -- the killing and the mob wars and the violence . but by the time he reached me on the dock , he had already been shot by carlos . i tried to save him .

[ scene_break ] patrick : sonny , i 'm not giving you my opinion . i 'm stating medical facts . it is a fact that you 've got a long road ahead of you before you recover . it is a fact that sending you home would not only be reckless on my end , but it could set you back even further . it is a fact that you need to understand my plan to get you healthy , or your condition and your life could become much worse . and none of this becomes any less true , because you do n't agree with me . am i making myself clear ? carly : crystal . you could n't be more clear . patrick : look , i 'm gon na be direct with you , okay ? you need to understand something . you are not the man that you were before you got in here . sonny : i will be . patrick : oh , well , i appreciate that . and that is a fantastic outlook for the future , but right now you need to take some time , and you need to listen to what i 'm saying . i 'll leave you two alone .

[ keyboard clacking ] [ scene_break ] lulu : the worst part about dillon declaring his love for me was n't even the kiss . it was the fact that he was trashing dante . maxie : i just do n't understand how dillon thought that would work . i mean , he writes beautifully and truthfully about relationships , but in real life [ scoffs ] tragic . so , what did he say ? lulu : see , that 's the thing . he did n't even get that specific . maxie : `` ambiguity is the hallmark of a weak argument . `` abraham lincoln . lulu : mm - hmm . dillon kept going on and on about how he 's better for me and how dante does n't deserve me . dillon : dante does n't deserve you . and i told dante that , too . and i told him why . i assume he told you that ? lulu : no . but then again , why would he ? dillon : if he told you , you would know . maxie : all right , dillon , that 's it . put up or shut up . what could dante have possibly done beyond one stupid kiss that would make him so unworthy of lulu ? first nathan , and now you . is there a reason that nobody wants to tell me their secrets ? dillon : uh , yeah . because you 're a blab . maxie : i might be that , but you 're worse . you 're making harsh , hurtful insinuations about lulu 's marriage . are -- are you gon na back any of that up with facts ? dillon : not unless dante gives me a reason to . maxie : okay , translation -- dillon is lying . he 's got nothing on dante . [ scene_break ] dante : the man has a point . lies have a way of mushrooming out of control . olivia : i get it . i do . it just hurts . dante : [ sighs ] i know , ma . olivia : [ sniffles ] port charles is my home . and , i mean , my work is here , my life is here . and it 's a life that i love , so i had to make a choice . it was either live in brooklyn with ned , in hiding , without you , or live here with you and without ned . and i chose my family . i want -- i want ned . but i need you . [ sniffles ] dante : we need you here , too ... ma . i just ca n't help worrying that you 're taking a huge risk ... [ sighs ] ... keeping leo so close to julian . [ sighs ] sometimes , no matter how hard you try , the truth ... comes out in the end . olivia : are we still talking about my lies here ? or are you hiding something yourself ? [ scene_break ] lucas : look , i appreciate your concern , but you do n't need to go all papa bear on me about brad . julian : all right . so , is this martinez woman holding up the divorce ? because if -- you know , i can talk to her . in or out of the business , i can be very persuasive . lucas : rosalie is not the issue . julian : then what is it ? lucas : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] brad : when i told lucas the truth , it was awful . but we 've hashed it all out , and he 's actually willing to wait for me until i can extricate myself from this marriage . alexis : so your parents wanted you to marry a woman . the world is changing very quickly now . is it possible that they may have softened their position on this ? brad : [ sighs ] alexis : so i will help you with your divorce . brad : [ sighs ] see , that 's the thing -- my parents are actually the least of my problems . if i get a divorce , i could end up going to prison for years and years .

[ chuckles ] kevin : i 've been wondering how you 're doing . anna : not good . not good . kevin : come on . [ door opens ] kevin : [ sighs ] you know , it 's -- it 's perfectly understandable to be still grieving for duke . anna : i miss him every day , you know ? i think about him every night , all night . kevin : anything in particular ? anna : his death . the brutal , cold - blooded way he was killed . [ sighs ] kevin , this is gon na sound really strange , you being a man of science and everything , but , um ... i swear ... i 'm being haunted . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : at first , i thought it was morgan who killed rivera , especially after he almost took out julian . but he 's backed off , right ? max : do n't worry about morgan . we 're keeping an eye on him . sonny : [ sighs ] the thing is , you know , if carlos did shoot me , we know who ordered the hit -- julian . max : or ava , since she 's back in charge of the jerome organization . sonny : but i 'm not convinced that carlos was the shooter . max : whoever did it might try it again . sonny : all right . max : you okay with the people we got guarding you ? sonny : yeah , that 's fine . and i 'm glad milo 's around . max : [ chuckles ] truthfully , boss , i think he 's glad to have an excuse to come back . i mean , he 's got a great girlfriend , but , uh , civilian life is pretty much a bust for him . sonny : now that he 's back , you think you can do more specialized work ? max : you need me to do a job ? sonny : i want you to find out who went behind my back and killed carlos . [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] carly : hey . patrick 's ready to see you . max : i 'm glad you 're looking so good , boss . sonny : yeah , thanks for keeping an eye on things , max . max : my pleasure . i know we 'll be back on top again soon . see you later . patrick : well , well , i hear you two got married last night . congratulations . sonny : yeah , yeah . i 'm on a winning streak , so we just got to keep things going . just give me the release papers so i can , you know , go home to my wife ... today .

[ scene_break ] dante : [ grunts ] you know , ma , your story about adopting a little boy who just happens to be the same age as leo was when he `` died `` is n't gon na hold up for very long . once that kid starts to look like jerome , he 's gon na start asking some questions . olivia : he already did . that 's why i had to blurt out that story about the adoption in the first place . luckily , julian bought it . dante : good . olivia : you know , alexis , on the other hand -- she made a point of chatting me up at the metro court bar . she was n't exactly accusing me of anything , but she was definitely making insinuations . dante : did you convince her to back off ? olivia : eh , she walked out with her tail between her legs . [ sighs ] at least , i think she did . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , if you divorce or get an annulment ... brad : all bets are off , and we could both wind up doing some hard time . alexis : did you commit a felony ? brad : oh , yeah . alexis : what exactly did you do ? brad : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : okay , you just tell me what the problem is , and i will fix it . i will clear the way for you and brad to be married , and then then we can see if brad really wants to marry you . lucas : thank you , dad . i appreciate that , but brad assures me he 's handling it . julian : all right . you know , i just want my kids to ... get what they want . lucas : i can not believe how far you 've come . julian : what ? lucas : man , when i think back about the day i told you that i was gay ... julian : okay , okay , okay . let 's not bring that up . not my proudest moment . lucas : and now you 're getting ready to attend your first same - sex wedding . julian : i ca n't even believe that . lucas : i mean , it 's , uh ... it really is nuts . julian : a lot of things have happened since i first came back here to port charles , that 's for sure . lucas : yeah , from bigoted mobster to open - minded , legit dude . julian : well , i did n't know i was gon na have so many reasons to change . i was given a lot of gifts all at once . a lot of people to love and do right by . and , to top it all off , i was lucky to somehow convince alexis to love me . i am one blessed dude . i 'll tell you that much . lucas : well , we 're just as blessed to have you , pop . julian : thanks . it means a lot . [ scene_break ] kevin : duke was the love of your life . it 's natural to think you see him , to imagine that he 's with you . it 's a coping mechanism . as long as you acknowledge that it 's not real , there 's nothing to worry about . anna : i would n't mind if it was duke i was seeing . i 'd welcome that , actually , just to see his smile again , even if it was in my imagination , just for a split second . that would be everything to me . it 's not duke i 'm hallucinating . it 's his killer -- carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] carly : why do n't we let patrick update us on your condition before we start pushing to go home ? sonny : i know i 've got a ways to go before i 'm 100 % , but i 'm feeling much better . patrick : well , that 's a good sign , but , sonny , there 's a lot -- sonny : see , the doctor says so , carly . just , i 'll go home , and i 'll get my legs working in no time . patrick : okay , your recovery is gon na require more than a change of scenery . we need to get together on a comprehensive plan to get you back -- sonny : i got to get out of the hospital , patrick . i got urgent business . i want to get home and be a good husband to carly . we got to fight ava jerome for the custody of -- of avery , my daughter . just give me the release papers , and we 'll just get this going . patrick : i 'm sorry , sonny . but you are nowhere near ready to go home yet . [ scene_break ] anna : i thought i saw carlos on the docks . kevin : well , that 's where they found his body . that would make sense . anna : no , that 's what does n't make sense . is the fact that the medical examiner concluded the body had only been dead a few weeks . kevin : and why is that odd ? anna : all right , kevin , as your patient , everything we say in here is confidential , right ? kevin : all of it . i 'm only required to alert the authorities if a patient threatens to hurt someone . anna : what if a crime 's already been committed ? kevin : well , that 's a gray area constantly challenged by law enforcement , but in almost every case , confidentiality remains intact . the question is , why ? what are you trying to tell me ? [ scene_break ] patrick : sonny , you suffered a critical gunshot wound . sonny : i know , patrick . i was there . patrick : that injury led to an aneurysm in your brain that nearly killed you . you have had two major surgeries that have led to complications that are gon na need continual monitoring . you have n't begun to regain the use of your legs yet . sonny : because you got me cooped up in this hospital ! patrick : come on , sonny , that is not why . you know that . you think you 're gon na go home and magically regain your mobility ? carly : okay , what do you recommend , patrick ? patrick : you need to get the house ready for a wheelchair . you need lifts . you need ramps . you need somebody to take a look at that chair and make sure that it 's comfortable for you . sonny : why go to all the trouble if i 'm gon na -- if -- that 's temporary , 'cause i 'm gon na beat this thing . carly : okay , you 're not listening to patrick . he 's trying to explain to you -- sonny : no , i 'm listening . every word . i just do n't agree .

[ chuckles ] congratulations . well , that really takes some of the sting out of losing ned . thank god . i was starting to worry that there was some kind of problem between you and lulu . you were acting so strange . is there something that you 're not telling me ? dante : [ sighs ] you do n't miss a thing , do you , ma ? olivia : no , i do n't . i can read you like a book . so -- so tell me . is there something going on between you and lulu ? [ scene_break ] maxie : in light of what happened with you and lulu -- dillon : and that would n't have happened if you had n't betrayed my confidence . maxie : okay , yes , i did tell lulu about your feelings for her . but i do n't recall forcing you to trash dante or stick your tongue in her mouth . did i do that ? dillon : no . maxie : thank you . therefore , in light of the upcoming halloween festivities , i think it 's in everybody 's best interest that we find another place to shoot the movie . dillon : i ca n't ! i 'm already hemorrhaging money due to all these delays . maxie : that 's because you freak out every time you 're in lulu 's airspace . i get that you 're in the throes of unrequited love , but , dillon , you 're the director . you need to man up and direct . clearly , that ca n't happen on the haunted star , so we need to shoot the movie elsewhere . dillon : how ? hmm ? i do n't have the budget to start over somewhere else , okay ? if i ca n't finish this film here , the entire movie will be dead in the water . maxie : oh , dillon , must i remind you what i unfortunately witnessed yesterday ? dillon : poor choice of words . sorry . maxie : [ sighs ] dillon : but , maxie , there 's something you are not considering . if this movie folds , you 're out of a job . maxie : if we shoot somewhere else , i wo n't be . dillon : we can not shoot somewhere else , maxie , okay ? so , yeah , you will , and so will everybody else that 's been working on this movie with us . do you really want to let them all down like that ? do you really want to let my dream die like that ? lulu , i am sorry , okay ? ca n't you forgive me ? let me finish my movie here . [ scene_break ] julian : yeah , yeah . so it 's a done deal ? great . listen , thank you for keeping this quiet the whole time . you bet . alexis : all right , what is going on ? julian : what do you think is going on ? alexis : i do n't know what to think . you tell me . i mean , you repeatedly say that you 're out of the mob . julian : that 's correct . i am . alexis : so , what gives ? clearly you 're hiding something from me . frankly , i 'm not really okay with that . so if you want me to trust you , you 're gon na have to tell me what it is . julian : okay , okay , fine . i will tell you . just not here . i will tell you everything once we get home . so , what do you think ? alexis : um , i think it 's -- it 's very nice . it 's ... spectacular , really . w - who are we visiting ? julian : we 're not . alexis : okay , uh , then why are we here ? i thought we were going home so you could come clean about your clandestine goings on . julian : well , we are home , and i am coming clean . alexis : what ? julian : this . this right here is the reason for all those mysterious phone calls . see , i was on the phone with contractors and designers , just making sure that everything was perfect for you . this is your new house , alexis . [ door opens ] julian : welcome home . [ scene_break ] dante : uh , lulu and i hit a bit of a rough patch . olivia : what happened ? dante : look , ma , all you need to know is that i was wrong . it was my fault , and i 'm trying to make it up to my wife . olivia : okay . well , are you sure ? 'cause you still seem a little worried . dante : every time i think that we 're getting back to normal , i have to ... put out another fire . olivia : what kind of fire ? dante : [ sighs ] well , for one thing , dillon quartermaine told lulu that he has feelings for her , and then he kissed her . [ scene_break ] lulu : after everything that 's happened , i do n't feel comfortable with you filming here anymore . dillon : look , lulu , i promise that what i did before will not happen again . and if that means that we only discuss stuff about the movie while working on the set -- lulu : you know what i 'm having a problem with ? this whole apology has nothing to do with actually regretting what you 've done . dillon : yes , it does . lulu : see , i think that if you did n't need to shoot the movie here , you would back everything you said about my husband . i think that you would still back that kiss . maxie : well , i do n't think that 's the case . lulu : i think you probably think that i am doing this for dante , because you said bad things about him , but dante would never ask me to stop production . this decision is mine . and i 'm sorry , but it 's what i have to do . dillon : aw , man , i am such an idiot . maxie : okay , lulu , hold on a second . this is n't just dillon 's project . this is my movie , too . dillon : forget it , maxie . it 's over . maxie : no , i refuse to accept that . if we ca n't shoot here , then we need to get the money to film someplace else . dillon : i have already gotten $ 500,000 from my father . i ca n't ask him for anything else . maxie : why ? what 's the worst he could do besides say no ? oh , we could ask lulu 's brother . nikolas is loaded . dillon : nikolas already offered to fund my movie , but in exchange , he wanted my shares of elq , and i ca n't put the family business in jeopardy like that . maxie : well , if we only knew other people with money , like rich relatives . dillon : yeah ? maxie : oh , come on , dillon . you 're a quartermaine . dillon : i ca n't just pump my family for bucks . maxie : then what 's the point of being related to those back - biting lunatics ? dillon : well , what about you ? do n't you know anybody who 's loaded and would like to be a patron of the arts and of your acting career ? maxie : of course , i do n't know anyone like that . dillon : then we 're done . maxie : okay , fine , fine . if we ca n't get friends and family to help us , we 'll just have total strangers pay for it . lulu : you 're going to panhandle ? maxie : yeah , only legit and on the internet . dillon : like crowdsourcing ? maxie : bingo . indie filmmakers do it all the time to fund their movies . there 's actually a website called fabphilanthropy that people get online and search for projects that need their contribution . lulu : how do they make their money back ? maxie : they do n't . the artist just gives them , like , a small part in the movie or their name in the credits or a free dvd , depending on what they give . dillon : it ca n't hurt . lulu : i actually think it 's a great idea . it could potentially solve a lot of problems . maxie : great . then you could kick off the campaign by making the halloween party a benefit . lulu : what ? maxie : come on , lulu . scoffs ] now that dillon 's movie is homeless , do n't you have it in your heart to do this ?

reva : cassie ? cassie : reva . reva : hi , honey . how are you ? cassie : i was so afraid that you did n't know i was here . reva : well , i did n't , but i tracked you down , because before this goes any further , before there 's a baby in the mix , there 's something i need to tell you , something about edmund . cassie : edmund ? reva : mm - hmm . cassie : he 's supposed to be here . we need to get him . reva : no , no , no , no . we do n't need to call him right now . cassie : why ? did something happen with the retrieval ? did the doctor tell you something went wrong ? reva : no , no . cassie : because the nurse said that everything was fine . reva : it was . it went great . cassie : oh , god , thank god , because that 's the most important thing , reva . that 's the most important thing . reva : no , cassie . i do n't have a lot of time , so there 's something i have to tell you . cassie : edmund has been so amazing , reva . he has . and i just want to get out of here and i want to go home . i want to have a baby with him . our life will be even more wonderful . i love him so much , reva . i love him . jonathan : sorry , dude , but you can blame edmund winslow . edmund : guard , i just saw reva lewis 's car in the parking lot . i asked you to escort her from the building . dinah : jonathan . it 's dinah . where the hell are you ? did you forget we were supposed to hook up in the park today ? we had an agreement . you were supposed to tell me that you succeeded in getting reva to break up the marriage between cassie and edmund , and i would show you what is underneath my warm and cuddly coat . but at this rate , my assets will be permanently frozen . call me . ross : frozen assets ? i did n't know you played the market . what are you investing in ? buzz : zach , what are you doing out here without a coat on ? you know your mother would shoot me dead . she 'd ... that 's just an expression . you know your mother would never ... zach : everybody talks . buzz : everybody ? kids at school saying stuff about your mom ? mean stuff ? what are they saying ? zach : they say that mommy killed daddy . harley : it all ... it all came together for me . while you were questioning alan , it all came together for me . gus : what did ? i do n't understand . harley : i remember . i remember what happened now . i remember . i remember killing phillip . gus : baby , look , i messed up , okay ? harley : no . gus : no , i screwed up . harley : listen ... gus : i should never have put alan on the stand . i let my own personal stuff get in the way and i 'm sorry , but i 've only begun really defending your case , and i will make up for this mistake . i 'll make up for it starting tomorrow , i promise . i do , i ... harley : shh . listen . what alan said about me pulling the gun , that triggered all these images in my head . gus : you went to the house and you pulled a gun on him . harley : no , no . when i went to company that night . i remember what happened that night . gus : honey , you 're upset . harley : no . no ! i remember ! gus : what are you doing ? harley : i 'm ... i 'm calling jeffrey o'neill . i 'm going to change my plea to guilty . gus : you 're not making any phone call , do you hear me ? harley : you can take the phone . you can take my cell phone if you want . i 'll just go see jeffrey in person . it does n't matter . gus : then you 'll probably ... you 'll say what to him ? your memory was foggy and you just suddenly remembered it now that you killed phillip ? it does n't work that way . he 'll never buy that . harley : why would n't he ? and why do n't you ? you know i can only remember that night up to a certain point . i remember ... i remember arguing with phillip . i remember struggling with him over the gun , and i 'm working so hard to remember more than that . every day i 've been sitting in that courtroom , and i 've been feeling rattled , like i was on the verge of something . gus : and you 're only mentioning it now ? you 're upset . i should never have put alan on the stand . it was my mistake , okay ? and you think that it hurt our case real bad ; you think we 've lost ; you 're throwing in the towel . harley : honey ... gus : no , i understand what you 're doing . harley : this is not about giving up . it 's about facing reality , as harsh as that is , and reality is i did it . gus : you do n't cop to something that you did n't do . harley : that 's not what i 'm doing . gus : it is what you 're doing . you ca n't even say for sure that you shot phillip and you 're guilty . you 're guilty that you 're putting your kids through this trial , and frank , and your father , and now you found out that alan 's trying to get me disbarred and you 're trying to protect me . i know what you 're doing . i appreciate it , baby , i do , but you 're trying to take the easy way out , here . harley : this is not about you . it 's not . it 's about me . it 's about what i did . i have been terrified for months now that i might actually have killed someone . well , now i ... i know that i did , and i have to say it . i have to say it to you , to jeffrey o'neill , to anybody who will listen to me , because it 's true , okay ? i killed phillip . it 's true . gus : no . harley : yes . gus : no . harley : and ... and i promised him . i promised phillip at his funeral , i promised my little boy when i held him in my arms that night , i promised myself , that i would find phillip 's killer and i would bring them to justice , no matter who that turned out to be . well , it turned out to be me . i have to act on that , because if i do n't , then i am not the person that my little boy thinks i am . i 'm just a ... i 'm a criminal like any other criminal , who 's trying to get away with murder . gus : i 'm sorry . i do n't believe a word that you 're saying . harley : yes , you do . gus : no , i don't . harley : yes , you do . gus : no , i do n't ! harley : really ? then why did you try to stop my hypnosis session ? what was that ? you knew i was getting close , and that scared you . and you know me . come on , you know if i actually thought somebody was trying to hurt my kids , i would go crazy . so if we 're going to be honest here , if you 're going to be honest with yourself and you 're going to be honest with me , you will admit ... you will admit that this is exactly what you 've been afraid of all along . and we both know what i have to do . gus : prove it . harley : what ? gus : prove it . let 's go to company right now and show me . show me every single move that you made . prove it to me that you 're the shooter . you do that , i 'll help you cop a plea . and if you do n't , i never want to hear another word about this . do we have a deal ? harley : deal . buzz : i brought you some cocoa . no marshmallows on it because you 're too big and grownup for that stuff . i know people are talking about your mother a lot . they 're saying your mommy made your daddy go away . but you and i know what a good person she is . she would never hurt anyone on purpose . zach : is it a lie ? buzz : you have to ignore people when they say mean and hurtful stuff . do n't listen to them ; listen to yourself . you and i know your mom better than anybody else . she 's one of the finest people on the face of the earth , right ? now , want to get some ice cream ? not that tofu stuff that lizzie makes us sell , but some real stuff , you know , like at the scoop shop ? yeah ? me , too . i did n't want to work today , anyway . shall we ? all right . dinah : it 's a high - tech stock that my broker 's trying to sell me on , but it 's too risky , so i 'm not interested . ross : too risky ? dinah : yeah . ross : i thought you liked taking risks . but then again , that 's what usually gets you in trouble , is n't it ? dinah : why are you here , daddy ? ross : every day i like to come here and feed the pigeons , commune with nature . dinah : you 're following me , are n't you ? yeah . i guess i 'm not the only stalker in the family , eh ? ross : why would i follow you ? dinah : i do n't know . i think that you think there 's something going on between me and reva 's son jonathan . ross : is there ? dinah : ( sighs ) daddy , i 've told you , and i know that it sounds strange , but jonathan sees me as a role model . he sees that you , bill , and blake , you have forgiven me for the bad things i 've done , and he 's hoping that maybe he can do the same thing . ross : so your relationship with him is a mentor / pupil situation ? dinah : yes . ross : hm . dinah : an unwanted one . ross : well , why do n't you ever say anything ? dinah : what do you want me to do , call the cops every time he comes around ? ross : i do n't know ; it sounds like a plan . dinah : well , next time , i will do that . you know , i just ... i think it 's a waste of my energy , really , quite honestly , because i 'd like to focus my time on moving on with my life . ross : what exactly does that entail , sweetheart ? dinah : well , putting cassie in the rearview mirror , and i do n't know , having a career , finding a decent man to love . ross : like that young doctor ? whatever happened to him ? dinah : yes . i 'm still seeing him . he 's nice . ross : mm - hmm . am i keeping you from something ? dinah : no . not at all . ross : so , then , you do n't have any plans for the next couple hours ? dinah : no . no , not really . why ? ross : just curious . dinah : it sounds like more than just curiosity . what are you ... what are you up to ? do you want to tell me something ? ross : i will tell you something when the time is right . dinah : you know what ? dad , sometimes you ... you freak me out a little bit . ross : ( laughs ) well , you 're not the only one who can keep secrets . ( whistles a tune ) edmund : i thought i told you to get out of here . jonathan : would you chill , man ? edmund : get out of here now or i 'll have you thrown out . jonathan : go ahead , eddie . you know what ? do n't just call the security guys here . call the real cops . go ahead . call the cops . you tell them your story ; i 'll tell them mine . we 'll see who comes out looking better . edmund : your story ? what exactly is your story ? jonathan : what do you think my story is ? go ahead , try it . it 'll be like that greek chick , what 's her name ? oh , yeah : pandora . she opened a box and she was surprised at what came out . so go ahead , eddie . call them . guard : ( groans ) oh , my head . edmund : get out of here . i 'll think of something to say to him . get out before i change my mind ! jonathan : okay . reva : cassie , sweetie , i know how much you think you want to have a baby with edmund ... cassie : `` think ? `` reva : and how hard you 've been trying to conceive , but before you think about bringing a child into this world with him , there 's something i have to tell you . cassie : you 've got to say it , reva . you 're scaring me . reva : i know , sweetie , and i do n't mean to . i love you . i love you so much , and i know how happy you are right now , but you would n't be happy if you knew ... cassie : ( gasps ) reva : cassie ? honey , what 's wrong ? cassie : i ca n't take a deep breath . reva : what is it ? well , just relax . relax , sweetie . just breathe . breathe . cassie : it hurts . reva : huh ? cassie : ( wheezing ) reva : here , i 'm going to go get the nurse . cassie : reva . reva : what , sweetie ? i 'll get the nurse . cassie : something 's wrong . ( gasping ) reva : okay , okay . just relax . relax , relax , relax . sit back . sit back . honey ... okay . you want to sit up ? cassie : ( gasping ) gus : `` closed . `` that 's weird , is n't it ? it 's kind of early . harley : yeah . the `` closed `` sign was up the night phillip died , too . not that that stopped me . i already followed him here . i was hoping he 'd had a big change of heart and that he was going to bring the kids back home . gus : so why dress up as ruth ? why a disguise ? harley : because i did n't trust him . i knew he 'd never be straight with the real me , but with ruth , he might let something slip , you know ? he might let his guard down enough , just enough so i ... gus : what ? harley : i did n't need my keys that night . the door was already open . gus : and seeing the broken glass , you did n't think to yourself , something 's wrong ? harley : i was n't thinking clearly . when i came in , he was there . he was standing right there with a bloody handkerchief wrapped around his hand . gus : baby , you 've told me all of this already . harley : it 's like he was expecting me . expecting ruth . he was laughing at me . `` you think i did n't know it was you , harley ? `` he shoved me , tore off my wig . did i really think i would get zach and jude back now ? that le would reward me for deceiving him ? he told me i 'd never see those boys again , that i would never hear them laugh again , feel their little hands in mine . and that 's when he put the gun down on the table , taunting me , daring me . `` go ahead , `` he said . `` shoot me . `` he put the gun in my hand . `` shoot me . `` and we struggled . and i got the gun away from him . and i ... i ... ross : so , now would be all right ? good . yes , i 'll see what i can do . dinah : daddy , what are you doing ? are you trying to fix me up with someone ? ross : dinah , i told you , my lips are sealed . dinah : you are . you are . and you 're awfully sweet and you 're awfully cute , but come on . really , you do n't need to bother . like you said , i 'm already seeing corey , and we 'll see where it goes . ross : but corey 's a doctor . he 's not actually your type , is he ? dinah : well , maybe i 'm trying to change my type . ross : that would be very good . somehow i think there 's more to it than that . dinah : i ca n't win for losing with you today . ross : ( chuckles ) dinah : first i 'm still obsessed with cassie . now i 'm dating the wrong guy . do you think maybe by the time i turn 60 , you could trust me to make my own decisions ? jonathan : hey , babe . i know i kept you waiting , but you wo n't believe what i just ... oh . ross : do n't mind me , jonathan . dinah and i were just having a little father- daughter talk about trust . reva : sweetie , i 'm going to get someone . i 'm going to get some help . cassie : ( gasping ) reva . reva : okay , just relax . sweetie , just stay there . nurse ! nurse , come here . my sister needs help . she ca n't breathe . nurse : breathe for me . cassie : ( gasps ) nurse : i 'll get a doctor . reva : okay . just hurry up . just try to relax . try to relax . try to relax . it 's going to be okay , okay ? cassie : ( gasping ) reva : just try to ... doctor : all right , get anesthesia in here . cassie : ( gasping ) doctor : all right . here , this is oxygen . cassie : reva . reva : what 's wrong ? doctor : there you go . reva : what 's wrong ? what 's happening to her ? doctor : take gentle , slow breaths . cassie : ( wheezing breaths ) doctor : all right , she 's having a bad reaction to the anesthesia . okay . reva : i 'm right here , sweetie . i 'm right here . doctor : just take gentle breaths . i 'm going to need you to leave . reva : no . i 'm her sister , okay ? doctor : no . please , please . i 'm going to need the room to work . wait out in the hall . cassie ( muffled ) : edmund . get edmund . edmund : nurse ? nurse , is something wrong ? cassie ? what did you do to her ? coming up on `` guiding light `` ... harley : listen to yourself , okay ? i did this . i killed phillip . i have to face the consequences for that , gus . gus : why ? why ? because he 's such a standup guy ? the world is better off without him . edmund : i do n't give a damn about you right now , or that psychopath you call your son . the only person i care about is my wife , and i almost lost her just now . oprah : chris r gus : stop . stop it . okay , that story that you told me ? o'neill would never buy that confession . okay , the state 's own forensic guy says it happened differently . he did n't get shot over here . the gun was fired from over here someplace , okay ? harley : i did n't say this is where i shot him . i said this is where we struggled . and i got the gun away from him , and i had the gun . and i pointed it at him . i took aim . but i could n't pull the trigger . gus : why ? why not ? harley : because i did n't want to kill him . because he was the father of my child . but then he started saying these horrible things to me about how i did n't deserve zach and jude , how i had never deserved them , how everything that was ever good in my life i had screwed up . and i lunged for him . i lunged for him and we struggled again . that 's when i got the blood on my clothes , from the cut on his hand . and i got the gun away from him and i managed to shove him away , that way . and i ran . i ran here . and i pointed the gun at him and i demanded ... i demanded that he tell me where my boys were . but he said he wouldn't . he said he would never . and at that moment , i knew phillip would n't tell me where the boys were because he had hurt them . he had hurt my boys . and i hated him like i had never hated anyone in my life . my heart was pounding . all i could hear was my heart pounding in my ears . and then , bang . phillip , he staggered backward . he looked shocked -- hurt even , like a child . and then he went down . he collapsed . and the blood was oozing from his chest . and then he was still . now do you believe me ? dinah : jonathan , seriously , this needs to stop . you beg me to talk to you about your family problems and i say , `` yes , five minutes in a public place , `` and what do you do ? you ... you leave me out here in the absolute freezing cold , and it seems like the more i try to do for you , the less grateful you are . now , you 've got to find yourself another role model , quite honestly . daddy , let 's just go . ross : no . dinah : let 's just leave . ross : i ca n't do that . i have to do some mayor things . i have to meet a dignitary at the airport and i 'm already a little late , but you 'll be fine . like you said , it 's a public place . jonathan ? you know , springfield pd is so good at what they do . do n't make me regret this . jonathan : i wo n't , your honor . ross : and you , keep your phone on because i am going to call you , and then i 'm going to introduce you to your mystery date . jonathan : aw , your mystery date . i can just imagine the kind of guy your daddy would pick out for you . he 'd probably make that doctor look like a real stud . dinah : shut up . shut up . i told you not to talk about my father . i do n't want to hear it . look , whatever reason you have for keeping me waiting in the cold -- not good enough , okay ? jonathan : aw . is that for me ? dinah : well , it was , until you blew it . jonathan : like hell i did . reva is telling her beloved sister cassie all about how mean , nasty edmund almost killed jeffrey o'neill and set fire to the barn . their marriage is as good as done . now , i delivered on my goods , baby . your turn . reva : i did n't do anything to cassie , edmund . she 's having a bad reaction to the anesthesia . doctor : all right . her breathing is just about back to normal , but i want to keep her overnight for some observation . edmund : is she all right ? doctor : let her rest . edmund : cassie . reva : no , edmund . the doctor said let her rest . edmund : if anything had happened to her ... reva : what , you 'd blame jonathan ? is that it ? or me ? maybe hurt us ? edmund : what ? reva : you heard me . edmund : reva , this may come as a complete shock to you , but i do n't give a damn about you right now , or that psychopath you call your son . the only person i care about is my wife , and i almost lost her just now . so if you 'd be so kind as to get out of here and leave us alone . reva : if you hurt her ... edmund : i wo n't let anything bad happen to you , cassie . i 'll stay with you all night . and when you wake up and open your eyes in the morning , i 'll be the first thing you see . i 'll still be here . i 'm not going to walk ... we 're just starting out . we have so much to look forward to , and i want you to be all right . i want you to be all right , and i want you to know that you will always be all right with me . i love you . i love you . cassie : ( coughing ) edmund : cassie ? cassie : ( coughing ) edmund ? edmund : cassie . how are you feeling ? are you all right ? are you okay ? cassie : what happened ? edmund : you had a bad reaction to the anesthetic , but you 're fine now . cassie : what about the retrieval ? edmund : went perfectly . we have more than enough , and it 's all of great quality . cassie : really ? edmund : really . so all you have to do right now is rest . just rest , cassie , okay ? cassie : we 're going to have a baby , edmund . i know we are . i can feel it . jonathan : the last time i saw reva , she was in cassie 's room , about to tell her the truth about her gentle hubby . dinah : ( laughs ) and there goes cassie 's fairytale ending , right ? jonathan : oh , yeah . i 'm sure you 're all busted up about that . dinah : yeah , i am . you know why ? because edmund , he 's going to need some wonderful comforting , you know , from a nice , caring , warm woman , you know , who understands him and has always had his best interest at heart . jonathan : okay , could you not do that while you 're pawing me ? a guy could develop a complex . dinah : come here . sit down . ( laughs ) you know what ? i will always have a soft spot for you . jonathan : oh , yeah ? dinah : mm - hmm . jonathan : what soft spot did you have in mind ? that one ? dinah : ( laughs ) jonathan : ( laughs ) ( cell phone rings ) dinah : ooh . my phone 's ringing . jonathan : no , do n't even think about it . dinah : yes , i have to get it . let me just see who it is . ( laughs ) jonathan : no ! dinah : stop ! jonathan : ( blows raspberry ) dinah : ( laughs ) let me get my phone . come on . ooh , see ? it 's blake . i should get this . i really have to get this or she wo n't think i love her . hello ? hey , blake . what 's up ? i 'm just busy . yeah . what kind of family meeting ? where ? well , when ? all right , i 'll be there . i 'll be there . i certainly hope this is as important as you say it is . hello ? what does my father see in that woman ? i have to go . jonathan : now ? dinah : yeah , now . blake and daddy want to meet with me for some odd reason . but i also think i should do this so that they will get off my back about you . but i am looking forward to continuing this very soon , i promise . jonathan : uh , dinah ? i know i 'm new to the whole family thing , but before you go meet with your stepmom , do you think maybe you should slip into something a little less comfortable ? dinah : yeah . jonathan : ( sighs ) harley : so , that 's my story , and o'neill will have to see that i was pushed to this . gus : listen to me . just listen to me , okay ? i do n't care what you say you remember , now or ten freaking years from now . nobody needs to know this . harley : listen to yourself , okay ? i did this . i killed phillip . i have to face the consequences for that , gus . gus : why ? why ? because he was such a standup guy ? the world is better off without him . i did n't mean that . harley : yeah , you did . gus : no , i ... he was my brother . i ... i cared about him . but he 's gone , you know ? and you 're here , and you have a family , and you 've got children ... harley : okay , you have to stop making excuses for me . gus : it 's not an excuse , it 's the truth , and it 's a fact . and do you want to know another fact ? you could be wrong . what if you 're wrong ? and in a month from now , even a year from now , you realize , okay , due to your overactive , traumatized imagination , induced by guilt or fear or whatever , it 's going to be too late . harley : that 's not what 's happening . gus : you say that i know you , right ? you say that i know you better than anybody . and i know what you do . you think these things up . you convince yourself of things just to ease other people 's pain . harley : okay . listen to me . gus : no , i 'm not going to ... what , are you going to spew more crap at me about this stuff ? i do n't have to ... i don't ... i do n't have to listen to ... harley : listen to me . you 've done everything that you could do for me . more , even . above and beyond . but you have to let go . you need to call jeffrey o'neill and tell him i will accept the plea , while that deal is still on the table . and if you wo n't , i will . zach : mommy . harley : hi . i hope you 're not all by yourself . buzz : no , he 's not . he 's just with his grandfather who ca n't keep up with him . i 've had a double scoop with sprinkles at the scoop shop . he favors fudge twirl . what 's up ? gus : nothing . we ... we were just making sure that she had a little , you know , family time tonight , quality time , before we go back to court in the morning . harley : gus . gus : no , we 'll go back to court and prove that she 's innocent . the state does not have a leg to stand on . and zach gets to come and see mommy and tell her how much she loves him , right ? he needs her . is n't that right ? is n't that right ? you guys have a nice little pleasant evening , okay ? see you in the morning . buzz : you want me to get him back ? harley : no . sometimes you have to let someone go . dinah : hello ? hello ? blake ? what was so important that i had to run here for ? you 'd better answer me if you 're here . matt : hello , dinah . dinah : matt . what are you doing here ? harley : look at you . you 're like this little ice cream monster . you have chocolate fudge swirl all over your face . look , i think there 's even ... what is this here ? doink . ( laughs ) zach : are you mad at me ? harley : am i mad at you ? no . why would you think i 'm mad at you ? if anything , i 'm jealous because i wanted some ice cream , too . buzz : maybe mommy 's mad at me . harley : why ? do you have chocolate fudge swirl on your face , too ? what 's with that expression ? what 's with all these weird questions ? i 'm thrilled for you guys . i 'm so glad that you had a nice day together . you are so lucky to have your grandpa , you know that ? and you know what else ? he is going to teach you so much stuff . i mean , not just how to eat ice cream , but , like , how to throw a curve ball , and one day he 'll teach you how to shave . how to pin a corsage on your prom date 's dress . buzz : are you okay ? harley : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . why would n't i be fine ? look , i got my guys right here . ( laughs ) gus : if you 're not going to fight , i will . edmund : you should be able to go home tomorrow morning . cassie : you know , i ... i guess i was dreaming , but i thought reva was here . it just seemed so real . edmund : reva ... cassie : maybe i was hallucinating or something . edmund : ... was here earlier , actually . cassie : she was ? edmund : mm - hmm . she just wanted to see how you were doing , and then when you were asleep , she went back to town . cassie : she just came to say hi ? i thought she wanted to tell me something . i should call reva . edmund : cassie , cassie , cassie . could you do me a favor , please ? cassie : what ? edmund : just forget about reva for the time being , and think about how much i love you , and try to get some rest . cassie : i 'm sorry . i know i 'm a lot of trouble , and you 're so good to me . edmund : no . you 're no trouble at all . it 's everything else that 's trouble . but cassie , i 'm going to do everything i can to keep all the bad things away from you . i 'll do that if it 's the last thing i do . jonathan : reva ? reva : hi . jonathan : hey . are you okay ? what are you doing here ? reva : oh , i 'm just trying to clear my head . jonathan : oh , listen , i know it must have been really tough . i mean , i 'm sure cassie got very upset when you told her about edmund and the fire and everything . so ... reva : i did n't tell her about the fire . i started to , but then she had a reaction to the anesthesia and she was breathing badly , and then the doctor rushed in and ... jonathan : how is she ?

reva : mm - hmm . cassie : he 's supposed to be here . we need to get him . reva : no , no , no , no . we do n't need to call him right now . cassie : why ? did something happen with the retrieval ? did the doctor tell you something went wrong ?

i did n't know you played the market . what are you investing in ? buzz : zach , what are you doing out here without a coat on ? you know your mother would shoot me dead . she 'd ... that 's just an expression . you know your mother would never ... zach : everybody talks . buzz : everybody ? kids at school saying stuff about your mom ? mean stuff ? what are they saying ? zach : they say that mommy killed daddy . harley : it all ... it all came together for me . while you were questioning alan , it all came together for me . gus : what did ?

your memory was foggy and you just suddenly remembered it now that you killed phillip ? it does n't work that way . he 'll never buy that . harley : why would n't he ? and why do n't you ? you know i can only remember that night up to a certain point . i remember ... i remember arguing with phillip . i remember struggling with him over the gun , and i 'm working so hard to remember more than that . every day i 've been sitting in that courtroom , and i 've been feeling rattled , like i was on the verge of something . gus : and you 're only mentioning it now ? you 're upset . i should never have put alan on the stand . it was my mistake , okay ? and you think that it hurt our case real bad ; you think we 've lost ; you 're throwing in the towel . harley : honey ... gus : no , i understand what you 're doing . harley : this is not about giving up . it 's about facing reality , as harsh as that is , and reality is i did it . gus : you do n't cop to something that you did n't do . harley : that 's not what i 'm doing . gus : it is what you 're doing . you ca n't even say for sure that you shot phillip and you 're guilty . you 're guilty that you 're putting your kids through this trial , and frank , and your father , and now you found out that alan 's trying to get me disbarred and you 're trying to protect me . i know what you 're doing . i appreciate it , baby , i do , but you 're trying to take the easy way out , here . harley : this is not about you . it 's not . it 's about me . it 's about what i did . i have been terrified for months now that i might actually have killed someone . well , now i ... i know that i did , and i have to say it . i have to say it to you , to jeffrey o'neill , to anybody who will listen to me , because it 's true , okay ? i killed phillip . it 's true . gus : no . harley : yes . gus : no . harley : and ... and i promised him . i promised phillip at his funeral , i promised my little boy when i held him in my arms that night , i promised myself , that i would find phillip 's killer and i would bring them to justice , no matter who that turned out to be . well , it turned out to be me . i have to act on that , because if i do n't , then i am not the person that my little boy thinks i am . i 'm just a ... i 'm a criminal like any other criminal , who 's trying to get away with murder . gus : i 'm sorry . i do n't believe a word that you 're saying . harley : yes , you do . gus : no , i don't . harley : yes , you do . gus : no , i do n't ! harley : really ? then why did you try to stop my hypnosis session ? what was that ? you knew i was getting close , and that scared you . and you know me . come on , you know if i actually thought somebody was trying to hurt my kids , i would go crazy . so if we 're going to be honest here , if you 're going to be honest with yourself and you 're going to be honest with me , you will admit ... you will admit that this is exactly what you 've been afraid of all along . and we both know what i have to do . gus : prove it . harley : what ? gus : prove it . let 's go to company right now and show me . show me every single move that you made . prove it to me that you 're the shooter . you do that , i 'll help you cop a plea . and if you do n't , i never want to hear another word about this . do we have a deal ? harley : deal . buzz : i brought you some cocoa . no marshmallows on it because you 're too big and grownup for that stuff . i know people are talking about your mother a lot . they 're saying your mommy made your daddy go away . but you and i know what a good person she is . she would never hurt anyone on purpose . zach : is it a lie ? buzz : you have to ignore people when they say mean and hurtful stuff . do n't listen to them ; listen to yourself . you and i know your mom better than anybody else . she 's one of the finest people on the face of the earth , right ? now , want to get some ice cream ? not that tofu stuff that lizzie makes us sell , but some real stuff , you know , like at the scoop shop ? yeah ? me , too . i did n't want to work today , anyway . shall we ? all right . dinah : it 's a high - tech stock that my broker 's trying to sell me on , but it 's too risky , so i 'm not interested . ross : too risky ? dinah : yeah . ross : i thought you liked taking risks . but then again , that 's what usually gets you in trouble , is n't it ? dinah : why are you here , daddy ? ross : every day i like to come here and feed the pigeons , commune with nature . dinah : you 're following me , are n't you ? yeah . i guess i 'm not the only stalker in the family , eh ? ross : why would i follow you ? dinah : i do n't know . i think that you think there 's something going on between me and reva 's son jonathan . ross : is there ? dinah : ( sighs ) daddy , i 've told you , and i know that it sounds strange , but jonathan sees me as a role model . he sees that you , bill , and blake , you have forgiven me for the bad things i 've done , and he 's hoping that maybe he can do the same thing . ross : so your relationship with him is a mentor / pupil situation ? dinah : yes . ross : hm . dinah : an unwanted one . ross : well , why do n't you ever say anything ? dinah : what do you want me to do , call the cops every time he comes around ? ross : i do n't know ; it sounds like a plan . dinah : well , next time , i will do that . you know , i just ... i think it 's a waste of my energy , really , quite honestly , because i 'd like to focus my time on moving on with my life . ross : what exactly does that entail , sweetheart ? dinah : well , putting cassie in the rearview mirror , and i do n't know , having a career , finding a decent man to love . ross : like that young doctor ? whatever happened to him ? dinah : yes . i 'm still seeing him . he 's nice . ross : mm - hmm . am i keeping you from something ? dinah : no . not at all . ross : so , then , you do n't have any plans for the next couple hours ? dinah : no . no , not really . why ? ross : just curious . dinah : it sounds like more than just curiosity . what are you ... what are you up to ? do you want to tell me something ? ross : i will tell you something when the time is right . dinah : you know what ? dad , sometimes you ... you freak me out a little bit . ross : ( laughs ) well , you 're not the only one who can keep secrets . ( whistles a tune ) edmund : i thought i told you to get out of here . jonathan : would you chill , man ? edmund : get out of here now or i 'll have you thrown out . jonathan : go ahead , eddie . you know what ? do n't just call the security guys here . call the real cops . go ahead . call the cops . you tell them your story ; i 'll tell them mine . we 'll see who comes out looking better . edmund : your story ? what exactly is your story ? jonathan : what do you think my story is ? go ahead , try it . it 'll be like that greek chick , what 's her name ? oh , yeah : pandora . she opened a box and she was surprised at what came out . so go ahead , eddie . call them . guard : ( groans ) oh , my head . edmund : get out of here . i 'll think of something to say to him . get out before i change my mind ! jonathan : okay . reva : cassie , sweetie , i know how much you think you want to have a baby with edmund ... cassie : `` think ? `` reva : and how hard you 've been trying to conceive , but before you think about bringing a child into this world with him , there 's something i have to tell you . cassie : you 've got to say it , reva . you 're scaring me . reva : i know , sweetie , and i do n't mean to . i love you . i love you so much , and i know how happy you are right now , but you would n't be happy if you knew ... cassie : ( gasps ) reva : cassie ? honey , what 's wrong ? cassie : i ca n't take a deep breath . reva : what is it ? well , just relax . relax , sweetie . just breathe . breathe . cassie : it hurts . reva : huh ? cassie : ( wheezing ) reva : here , i 'm going to go get the nurse . cassie : reva . reva : what , sweetie ? i 'll get the nurse . cassie : something 's wrong . ( gasping ) reva : okay , okay . just relax . relax , relax , relax . sit back . sit back . honey ... okay . you want to sit up ? cassie : ( gasping ) gus : `` closed . `` that 's weird , is n't it ? it 's kind of early . harley : yeah . the `` closed `` sign was up the night phillip died , too . not that that stopped me . i already followed him here . i was hoping he 'd had a big change of heart and that he was going to bring the kids back home . gus : so why dress up as ruth ? why a disguise ? harley : because i did n't trust him . i knew he 'd never be straight with the real me , but with ruth , he might let something slip , you know ? he might let his guard down enough , just enough so i ... gus : what ? harley : i did n't need my keys that night . the door was already open . gus : and seeing the broken glass , you did n't think to yourself , something 's wrong ? harley : i was n't thinking clearly . when i came in , he was there . he was standing right there with a bloody handkerchief wrapped around his hand . gus : baby , you 've told me all of this already . harley : it 's like he was expecting me . expecting ruth . he was laughing at me . `` you think i did n't know it was you , harley ? `` he shoved me , tore off my wig . did i really think i would get zach and jude back now ? that le would reward me for deceiving him ? he told me i 'd never see those boys again , that i would never hear them laugh again , feel their little hands in mine . and that 's when he put the gun down on the table , taunting me , daring me . `` go ahead , `` he said . `` shoot me . `` he put the gun in my hand . `` shoot me . `` and we struggled . and i got the gun away from him . and i ... i ... ross : so , now would be all right ? good . yes , i 'll see what i can do . dinah : daddy , what are you doing ? are you trying to fix me up with someone ? ross : dinah , i told you , my lips are sealed . dinah : you are . you are . and you 're awfully sweet and you 're awfully cute , but come on . really , you do n't need to bother . like you said , i 'm already seeing corey , and we 'll see where it goes . ross : but corey 's a doctor . he 's not actually your type , is he ? dinah : well , maybe i 'm trying to change my type . ross : that would be very good . somehow i think there 's more to it than that . dinah : i ca n't win for losing with you today . ross : ( chuckles ) dinah : first i 'm still obsessed with cassie . now i 'm dating the wrong guy . do you think maybe by the time i turn 60 , you could trust me to make my own decisions ? jonathan : hey , babe . i know i kept you waiting , but you wo n't believe what i just ... oh . ross : do n't mind me , jonathan . dinah and i were just having a little father- daughter talk about trust . reva : sweetie , i 'm going to get someone . i 'm going to get some help . cassie : ( gasping ) reva . reva : okay , just relax . sweetie , just stay there . nurse ! nurse , come here . my sister needs help . she ca n't breathe . nurse : breathe for me . cassie : ( gasps ) nurse : i 'll get a doctor . reva : okay . just hurry up . just try to relax . try to relax . try to relax . it 's going to be okay , okay ? cassie : ( gasping ) reva : just try to ... doctor : all right , get anesthesia in here . cassie : ( gasping ) doctor : all right . here , this is oxygen . cassie : reva . reva : what 's wrong ? doctor : there you go . reva : what 's wrong ? what 's happening to her ? doctor : take gentle , slow breaths . cassie : ( wheezing breaths ) doctor : all right , she 's having a bad reaction to the anesthesia . okay . reva : i 'm right here , sweetie . i 'm right here . doctor : just take gentle breaths . i 'm going to need you to leave . reva : no . i 'm her sister , okay ? doctor : no . please , please . i 'm going to need the room to work . wait out in the hall . cassie ( muffled ) : edmund . get edmund . edmund : nurse ? nurse , is something wrong ? cassie ? what did you do to her ? coming up on `` guiding light `` ... harley : listen to yourself , okay ? i did this . i killed phillip . i have to face the consequences for that , gus . gus : why ? why ? because he 's such a standup guy ? the world is better off without him . edmund : i do n't give a damn about you right now , or that psychopath you call your son . the only person i care about is my wife , and i almost lost her just now . oprah : chris r gus : stop . stop it . okay , that story that you told me ? o'neill would never buy that confession . okay , the state 's own forensic guy says it happened differently . he did n't get shot over here . the gun was fired from over here someplace , okay ? harley : i did n't say this is where i shot him . i said this is where we struggled . and i got the gun away from him , and i had the gun . and i pointed it at him . i took aim . but i could n't pull the trigger . gus : why ? why not ? harley : because i did n't want to kill him . because he was the father of my child . but then he started saying these horrible things to me about how i did n't deserve zach and jude , how i had never deserved them , how everything that was ever good in my life i had screwed up . and i lunged for him . i lunged for him and we struggled again . that 's when i got the blood on my clothes , from the cut on his hand . and i got the gun away from him and i managed to shove him away , that way . and i ran . i ran here . and i pointed the gun at him and i demanded ... i demanded that he tell me where my boys were . but he said he wouldn't . he said he would never . and at that moment , i knew phillip would n't tell me where the boys were because he had hurt them . he had hurt my boys . and i hated him like i had never hated anyone in my life . my heart was pounding . all i could hear was my heart pounding in my ears . and then , bang . phillip , he staggered backward . he looked shocked -- hurt even , like a child . and then he went down . he collapsed . and the blood was oozing from his chest . and then he was still . now do you believe me ? dinah : jonathan , seriously , this needs to stop . you beg me to talk to you about your family problems and i say , `` yes , five minutes in a public place , `` and what do you do ? you ... you leave me out here in the absolute freezing cold , and it seems like the more i try to do for you , the less grateful you are . now , you 've got to find yourself another role model , quite honestly . daddy , let 's just go . ross : no . dinah : let 's just leave . ross : i ca n't do that . i have to do some mayor things . i have to meet a dignitary at the airport and i 'm already a little late , but you 'll be fine . like you said , it 's a public place . jonathan ? you know , springfield pd is so good at what they do . do n't make me regret this . jonathan : i wo n't , your honor . ross : and you , keep your phone on because i am going to call you , and then i 'm going to introduce you to your mystery date . jonathan : aw , your mystery date . i can just imagine the kind of guy your daddy would pick out for you . he 'd probably make that doctor look like a real stud . dinah : shut up . shut up . i told you not to talk about my father . i do n't want to hear it . look , whatever reason you have for keeping me waiting in the cold -- not good enough , okay ? jonathan : aw . is that for me ? dinah : well , it was , until you blew it . jonathan : like hell i did . reva is telling her beloved sister cassie all about how mean , nasty edmund almost killed jeffrey o'neill and set fire to the barn . their marriage is as good as done . now , i delivered on my goods , baby . your turn . reva : i did n't do anything to cassie , edmund . she 's having a bad reaction to the anesthesia . doctor : all right . her breathing is just about back to normal , but i want to keep her overnight for some observation . edmund : is she all right ? doctor : let her rest . edmund : cassie . reva : no , edmund . the doctor said let her rest . edmund : if anything had happened to her ... reva : what , you 'd blame jonathan ? is that it ? or me ? maybe hurt us ? edmund : what ? reva : you heard me . edmund : reva , this may come as a complete shock to you , but i do n't give a damn about you right now , or that psychopath you call your son . the only person i care about is my wife , and i almost lost her just now . so if you 'd be so kind as to get out of here and leave us alone . reva : if you hurt her ... edmund : i wo n't let anything bad happen to you , cassie . i 'll stay with you all night . and when you wake up and open your eyes in the morning , i 'll be the first thing you see . i 'll still be here . i 'm not going to walk ... we 're just starting out . we have so much to look forward to , and i want you to be all right . i want you to be all right , and i want you to know that you will always be all right with me . i love you . i love you . cassie : ( coughing ) edmund : cassie ? cassie : ( coughing ) edmund ? edmund : cassie . how are you feeling ? are you all right ? are you okay ? cassie : what happened ? edmund : you had a bad reaction to the anesthetic , but you 're fine now . cassie : what about the retrieval ? edmund : went perfectly . we have more than enough , and it 's all of great quality . cassie : really ? edmund : really . so all you have to do right now is rest . just rest , cassie , okay ? cassie : we 're going to have a baby , edmund . i know we are . i can feel it . jonathan : the last time i saw reva , she was in cassie 's room , about to tell her the truth about her gentle hubby . dinah : ( laughs ) and there goes cassie 's fairytale ending , right ? jonathan : oh , yeah . i 'm sure you 're all busted up about that . dinah : yeah , i am . you know why ? because edmund , he 's going to need some wonderful comforting , you know , from a nice , caring , warm woman , you know , who understands him and has always had his best interest at heart . jonathan : okay , could you not do that while you 're pawing me ? a guy could develop a complex . dinah : come here . sit down . ( laughs ) you know what ? i will always have a soft spot for you . jonathan : oh , yeah ? dinah : mm - hmm . jonathan : what soft spot did you have in mind ? that one ? dinah : ( laughs ) jonathan : ( laughs ) ( cell phone rings ) dinah : ooh . my phone 's ringing . jonathan : no , do n't even think about it . dinah : yes , i have to get it . let me just see who it is .

[ sighs ] sabrina : i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry about that . patrick : there 's nothing that you need to be sorry for . sabrina : i should have just told you that the baby was yours from the get - go , and instead i lied to you and emma that carlos was the father . patrick : i understand why you lied to us . and i 'm okay with it . you know what , in time , emma 's gon na be okay with it , too . sabrina : even so , it just caused problems . patrick : it 's nothing that we ca n't handle , okay ? we 're gon na be all right . plus carlos is the one that lied , not you . he 's gon na have to keep lying if he 's gon na avoid prison . sabrina : what ? patrick : have you not heard ? sabrina : i worked a double and then i came straight here . patrick : sabrina , i 'm sorry . i would n't have said anything , but i thought you already knew . sabrina : wait , knew what ? patrick : [ sighs ] carlos was arrested . he 's been implicated in aj quartermaine 's murder . [ scene_break ] franco : so , i 've known ava a long time . this is just like her to get somebody else to do her dirty work . come on . we 're talking years , here . long before she was gallery girl or gun moll gangster chick gone wild . and i have been exactly where you are right now . i have been ava 's dupe . carlos : [ scoffs ] franco : for 21 years , she allowed me -- no , encouraged me to believe that we had a daughter together , and do you know why ? do you know why ? carlos : i do n't know . why ? franco : because it suited her . and then when that was no longer necessary , when that -- when that fiction was unsupportable , she just pulled the rug out from under me and she did n't care what it did to me , she did n't care what it did to my daughter . oops , oops , excuse me . her daughter . that 's ava . that 's ava right there , always looking out for number one . you do n't think a woman with her resources , with her means , would n't spring you ? come on ! her attorney is my attorney . and getting mobsters off of murder charges , that 's diane 's bread and butter , and yet here you sit . carlos : yeah . yeah , in a cell across from you . how come your big - time lawyer has n't sprung you yet . franco : well , because sadly i can no longer afford my big - time lawyer -- because of ava ! if you 're in here and ava 's out there , it can only mean one thing -- that it 's good for ava ! because if you were n't in here , then ava would be in here . did i get that right ? oh , i got that right . ava put you up to shooting aj , did n't she ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : carlos could not have shot aj quartermaine . this is not the man that i know . patrick : sabrina , he 's a mob enforcer . it 's what they do . i wish i did n't know first hand , but -- sabrina : i know . i know what he does , and i know that he was capable of hurting people , but this ? [ scoffs ] and what they 're saying about the break - in ? no ! no , carlos swore to me that he -- he had nothing to do with it , and i took him to be a man of his word . at least with me . patrick : when did he tell you that ? sabrina : oh , well , i guess you might as well know . [ sighs ] carlos came into the hospital a few months ago and he had a big gash on his head , and it was bleeding , so i patched him up , and then ... [ chuckles ] and then later on i found out that it was the same day that aj was attacked in his home . and -- and by that time , aj had already gotten shot , and so i just put two and two together and i asked carlos if he was the one who shot aj and -- patrick : i 'm sure he denied it . sabrina : well , no , he did more than that . he swore to me that -- that he had nothing to do with it . on my baby 's soul . and i -- i believed him . patrick : looks like he lied to you . [ scene_break ] carlos : man , you do n't know what you 're talking about . franco : au contraire , mon amis . i know all too well what you 're talking about . but here 's the good news , yo . i can totally help you out . carlos : how can you help me out ? franco : i thought you 'd never ask . franco ! got a visitor . [ keys jingle ] carly : hello , franco . franco : hello , carly . what ? what are you doing here ? carly : i came to see how you were doing . franco : well , i mean , i 'm in jail . i guess i got that going for me , but ... carly : i could n't wait . i just wanted to see if you were making progress . franco : well , i was , but you 're kind of messing with my mojo , so why do n't you just get the hell out of here , huh ? ! why do n't you do us both a favor and just leave me the hell alone ? ! [ scene_break ] ava : sonny . does monica know you 're here ? sonny : michael asked me here . what are you doing here ? ava : i came to check up on my daughter . [ scene_break ] kiki : the next thing i know , i 'm in the hospital , luke is forced to hug on me , and is grabbing my butt , as if it was something that we just do all the time . ned : and my mother knows about this . kiki : yep . but , unfortunately , luke has twisted the whole story around to make me look like a nympho with granddaddy issues . ned : was this the only incident ? kiki : [ sighs ] no . there was this morning at my dad 's house . he waited until i was alone , came inside , grabbed me , and would not let go of me . morgan : yeah , and fortunately kiki was able to kick his ass out , but , i mean , the guy 's relentless , and tracy 's over here thinking that he 's innocent . kiki : you know what , morgan ? we do n't have to worry about it anymore , because i know exactly what i 'm gon na do next time . morgan : well , there 's not gon na be a next time , 'cause if there is , i 'm gon na kick the guy 's ass . kiki : morgan . morgan , no . i got it , okay ? luke will be a creeper because we know he will be . i will encourage him . when he pulls his pants down , i 'll tase him where it counts . then maybe someone will believe me . ned : i never said i did n't believe you . [ scene_break ] tracy : i need to have a word with you . elizabeth : i 'll leave you to it . luke : [ sighs ] are we all gathered ? tracy : monica and michael are not here yet , but ned is . luke : oh , yes . ned . under foot , as always . tracy : i understand the two of you spoke . luke : [ chuckles ] did we ever . tracy : ned 's upset . luke : of course , he is . i made confetti out of his prenup . tracy : that 's not what upset him . it annoyed him , perhaps , but , uh ... what really bothered him is you ... threatened to kill him ? luke : did he say that ? tracy : yeah . did you ? luke : did i threaten [ sighs ] to kill ned ? you bet your sweet ass i did . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you ca n't go off on your own like that . i was worried sick . spencer : i 'm sorry . nikolas : no , no , no . it 's more likely you 're sorry , because you got caught . there is no skipping school . they teach things ... there , at school . important things . spencer : but uncle luke has it in for -- nikolas : no , no , no . no . there 's certainly no cutting school to carry on this imaginary plot luke has against sonny . i certainly hope you 've gotten that out of your system . cameron : have you guys seen my mom ? nikolas : yes , she 's at aj 's service . [ cell phone rings ] cameron : but i need her to take me somewhere ! nikolas : alexis , can you hold on for a second ? do n't worry , cameron . i will take you . sorry . cameron : why were n't you in school ? spencer : i had more important things to do than multiplication tables . cameron : it 's probably better you were n't there . you might have cried like a baby when emma invited me to her dance recital . spencer : you 're going to emma 's dance recital ? cameron : yep , and you ca n't stop me . spencer : i do n't want to stop you . you could be emma 's only hope . [ scene_break ] carly : why are you yelling at me ? franco : because it 's the only way i can get anything through that thick skull of yours ! i 'm getting close . it 's your fault , as much as ava 's , that i 'm in this jail ! go away for a little bit , okay ? i mean , you 're always nagging me and pressuring me to make art or get off the pot . well , i finally make some art and look where i wind up ! i 'm just trying to help you . so go away ! carly : fine ! fine ! you know what ? i 'm gon na go away . maybe i 'll see you when you get out of here -- like in five to seven !

[ sighs ] did i threaten him ? yes . am i going to apologize for that ? no ! i will never apologize for loving you ... or for using every weapon in my arsenal to protect us . [ scene_break ] kiki : wait . you believe me ? ned : every word . kiki : okay , that does n't sound right . tracy 's son trusting a stranger over the man who is mother is about to marry ? ned : you may not know this about luke , but , um ... he has a history of forcing himself on women . morgan : really ? ned : it happened a long time ago , and no one really talks about it anymore . but luke raped a woman . kiki : he what ? morgan : what happened ? ned : sometime later , they married each other . kiki : she married him ? ! are you joking ? how does that even happen ? ned : well , from what i understand , he was able to spin the rape into a seduction . morgan : and people just bought that ? ned : it was a different era . kiki , who else knows about what happened between you and luke ? morgan : i mean , we were gon na tell michael , but he 's got enough going on right now . kiki : it 's just the three of us and tracy . no one else knows . ned : good . let 's keep it that way . [ scene_break ] spencer : i ca n't trust you to protect emma . i 'll have to go to the recital with you . nikolas : come on , cam . let 's go . spencer : shotgun ! nikolas : where do you think you 're going ? spencer : to the recital . i 've learned my lesson , papa . and i want to support my friend cameron . plus , i should learn about culture so the day is n't wasted . nikolas : not so fast . you 're staying here with alfred , okay ? you are ... cameron : grounded ? nikolas : ... grounded . yes . spencer : ha ha , dad . do n't quit your day job . nikolas : you think i 'm joking ? hmm ? you are confined to the junior suite until further notice . spencer : but i 'm of noble blood ! nikolas : well , your highness , we are going to have a serious talk about your shenanigans as soon as i get home . spencer : but i need to see emma . it 's really important . nikolas : i 'm sorry . you should have thought of that before you bullied ross into helping you skip school . come on , cam . cameron : i 'll tell emma you said hi . not ! spencer : how am i gon na save emma now ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] morgan : okay , wait a second . you believe kiki ? ned : i do . morgan : then why keep quiet ? i mean , this perv 's marrying your mother , and at the same time , he 's trying to get next to kiki . are you just -- are you okay with that ? ned : no . no , not at all . i ca n't seem to get through to my mother . she has a blind spot for luke . so , if i ca n't get her to open her eyes , i 'll just get luke to open them for her . morgan : how ? ned : by setting a trap . and having luke walk right into it .

[ scene_break ] tracy : you misunderstood . luke has a habit of speaking in hyperbole . ned : that 's what i thought . but he made it very clear . he meant it . tracy : mm - hmm . and you 're absolutely positive he was not posturing . he actually threatened to kill you . ned : mm - hmm . right after he tore up the prenup that i advised you to have him sign . tracy : if he tore up the prenup , it 's because we discussed it and decided it was n't necessary . ned : because he manipulated you into backing down . tracy : oh , please , ned . would you give me some credit ? ned : your fiancé is out to rob you blind , and when i promised to stop him , he threatened to kill me . tracy : i told you he did not mean it . ned : it was n't posturing . it was n't hyperbole . luke meant it . so now i 'm forced to wonder -- if he 's capable of using violence against me , what is he capable of doing to people who are , let 's just say ... less equipped to take him on . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , i 'm sorry . that came off a little rude . i 'm just warning you that my mother has a jealous streak . morgan : okay , well , she has no reason to be jealous , 'cause ava and i are n't together anymore . kiki : oh , of course not . and mayor lomax knew nothing about those lane closures on the port charles bridge .

[ sighs ] sabrina : i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry about that . patrick : there 's nothing that you need to be sorry for . sabrina : i should have just told you that the baby was yours from the get - go , and instead i lied to you and emma that carlos was the father . patrick : i understand why you lied to us . and i 'm okay with it . you know what , in time , emma 's gon na be okay with it , too . sabrina : even so , it just caused problems . patrick : it 's nothing that we ca n't handle , okay ? we 're gon na be all right . plus carlos is the one that lied , not you . he 's gon na have to keep lying if he 's gon na avoid prison . sabrina : what ? patrick : have you not heard ? sabrina : i worked a double and then i came straight here . patrick : sabrina , i 'm sorry . i would n't have said anything , but i thought you already knew . sabrina : wait , knew what ? patrick : [ sighs ] carlos was arrested . he 's been implicated in aj quartermaine 's murder .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : carlos could not have shot aj quartermaine . this is not the man that i know . patrick : sabrina , he 's a mob enforcer . it 's what they do . i wish i did n't know first hand , but -- sabrina : i know . i know what he does , and i know that he was capable of hurting people , but this ?

[ sighs ] carlos came into the hospital a few months ago and he had a big gash on his head , and it was bleeding , so i patched him up , and then ... [ chuckles ] and then later on i found out that it was the same day that aj was attacked in his home . and -- and by that time , aj had already gotten shot , and so i just put two and two together and i asked carlos if he was the one who shot aj and -- patrick : i 'm sure he denied it . sabrina : well , no , he did more than that . he swore to me that -- that he had nothing to do with it . on my baby 's soul . and i -- i believed him . patrick : looks like he lied to you . [ scene_break ] carlos : man , you do n't know what you 're talking about . franco : au contraire , mon amis . i know all too well what you 're talking about . but here 's the good news , yo . i can totally help you out . carlos : how can you help me out ? franco : i thought you 'd never ask . franco ! got a visitor .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you ca n't go off on your own like that . i was worried sick . spencer : i 'm sorry . nikolas : no , no , no . it 's more likely you 're sorry , because you got caught . there is no skipping school . they teach things ... there , at school . important things . spencer : but uncle luke has it in for -- nikolas : no , no , no . no . there 's certainly no cutting school to carry on this imaginary plot luke has against sonny . i certainly hope you 've gotten that out of your system . cameron : have you guys seen my mom ? nikolas : yes , she 's at aj 's service .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what i have to do has nothing to do with the mob . kate : mm - hmm , but you were at jason 's . sonny : yes , i was , because i went over to jason 's to ask him to come to the wedding . kate : so is he coming ? sonny : i do n't know . because , when i got there , diane was sobbing in his arms , and i do n't know what he would have said if we were alone . kate : mm - hmm , but you want him to come . sonny : you know , him and i are more than friends . we 're like brothers . so not having him at the wedding , it just shows how much our lives have changed . kate : it 's hard , huh ? sonny : yeah . kate : leaving your past behind . sonny : you did it . kate : yeah . sonny : yeah . kate : and i did n't know what it would cost me . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : i have no regrets , sonny , right ? because of all of my choices brought me here . sonny : right . kate : brought me to you . sonny : so ? kate : what ? what ? look , i just -- memories come up sometimes , all right ? unexpected memories , like , i do n't know . my last thanksgiving in bensonhurst . sonny : that was a long time ago . kate : yeah , it was a long time ago . it was my senior year at princeton . all right , it was just , you know , your typical falconeri crazy thanksgiving . sonny : yes . kate : uncle nicky had one too many , as usual . olivia was arguing with her parents about some boyfriend . some latest boyfriend . i think it was a plumber 's apprentice . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : big catch . and then there was auntie talia , sobbing her eyes out because someone criticized her lasagna . [ sonny chuckles ] kate : i do n't know . i just looked around and i just thought , this is my last thanksgiving with them . where i wanted to be and who they were were n't compatible . sonny : you always knew what you wanted . kate : mm - hmm . so the next year , when i was eating a turkey sandwich in my apartment in manhattan , alone , i had to say to myself , `` look , this is your choice . this is the first step , and you better get used to it . `` sonny : did you ?

cane : i owe you an apology , katherine . i sided with hilary the other day , and it was a mistake because this hospital wing that jill 's underwriting should have your name on it and nobody else 's . look , i understand why hilary wants to honor her mother , but she 's willing to diminish your name in the process , and that is just ... it 's unacceptable . you know , the good news is , though , that at least this time around , it worked itself out . but next time , i just ... i just do n't know what she 's gon na do , 'cause she just likes to throw her weight around 'cause that 's who she is . [ chuckles ] you know , it 's funny . like , right now , i miss you the most because -- i do n't know -- moving forward , i just do n't know how to handle this . nikki : handle what ? maybe i could help . neil : well ... [ sighs ] today 's the day . lily : uh - huh . neil : uh , lily , in light of everything , thank you very much for agreeing to help . dedicating a wing to the treatment center in katherine 's name ... it 's an amazing day for the foundation . thank you . lily : i 'm really not doing any of this for you . today is about honoring katherine . she 's the only reason that we 're all here together . jill : how long before we 're up and running ? jack : the architect has promised to give me a grand - opening date next week , which means this ceremony today will grab the media 's attention . phyllis : katherine deserves her own special spotlight . jill : i could n't agree with you more . so what about today ? what 's the order of events ? hilary : well , once we get under way , i will be delivering some opening remarks that i have prepared . jill : [ scoffs ] the hell you will . the only thing you should be prepared for is to stay out of the way and keep your mouth shut . summer : oh , my god . okay , i can not believe i just slept that late . luca : not that we got that much sleep . summer : [ chuckles ] trust me , i am not complaining . but i need to get home . you know , where my clothes and my things are . luca : stay . just a little longer . summer : [ chuckles ] luca : mm . mm . victoria : ohh . [ sighs ] johnny ! oh , my goodness . billy : hey , hey , hey . no , no . he 's good . he 's good . he 's still sleeping . he 's doing better than he did last night , at least . victoria : [ sighs ] really ? billy : yeah . he does n't have a fever anymore . he has n't thrown up since . so i 'm assuming it was just a little bug . victoria : oh , thank goodness . [ clears throat ] billy : how are you feeling ? victoria : good , you know . a little stiff , i guess . sorry about last night . billy : what are you sorry about ? victoria : i , um ... i passed out on your sofa . i guess it was the wine , maybe . billy : yeah . it did n't affect me at all . i slept great in my big , comfy bed . victoria : mm . oh , i look a wreck . billy : come on , victoria . you 've always looked amazing in the morning . cane : i 'm just thinking out loud . that 's it . nikki : yeah ? cane : yeah , 'cause it 's nothing that anyone can really help me with 'cause i 'm kind of -- i 'm walking this line between lily and the family . you know , with neil and devon and hilary , it 's just ... nikki : well , unfortunately , i 've become somewhat of an expert on dysfunctional family relationships . maybe i can help you . cane : yeah ? nikki : but i can certainly understand your wanting advice from katherine . i ask myself all the time , `` what would katherine do ? `` cane : does that work ? nikki : sometimes . god , i miss her so much . cane : i miss her , too . nikki : i mean , i do have people i can go to . meetings . but nobody like katherine . when things were at their worst , she was my lifeline . i could always count on her to speak the truth . she understood how hard it was , even when you wanted a drink more than anything else . cane : you know , the thing for me is i 've never had to walk in those shoes , so i find it difficult to understand . nikki : really ? understand what ? cane : i do n't understand how someone could say they want to be sober 'cause they know how much they 're hurting the people in the family they love , and they genuinely mean it , and then they just ... start drinking again . nikki : you 're talking about neil . cane : yeah . and i 'm trying to be compassionate . i am , but it 's just ... it 's a battle for me . you know ? nikki : let me tell you something . i have had a drink after swearing i would n't more times than i can count . and i have tried to stay sober for other people . that does n't work . you have to do it for yourself , or you 're guaranteed to fail . i know it 's painful to watch , but there 's always hope . cane : yeah . nikki : and you keep supporting them . eventually , most people will find their way to the help they need . cane : that 's good to know . nikki : i mean , that really is the message of this gathering we 're having today , is n't it ? because that 's certainly what katherine believed . neil : i know you ca n't forgive me for all the lies or the indefensible way that i behaved towards hilary . and i 'm sorry to put you in this terrible position asking you to keep my secret , but i -- i do n't -- [ sighs ] lily : it 's not just about the cover - up . it 's the fact that i have to bite my tongue every time she uses what you did to blackmail us . neil : okay . shh . shh . shh . lily : that woman is an evil bitch . and the day that you kidnapped her is the day that you gave her a weapon that she could use against us forever . hilary : jill , you are overreacting . jill : mm ... no , i do n't think so . devon : let 's just take it down a notch . she 's not trying to hijack your moment , jill . hilary : i 'm simply gon na welcome the press , explain the mission of the new treatment center , and then turn it over to you . that 's my job as communication liaison . jill : i do n't really care what your inflated title is . this is katherine 's day . jack : hilary , when we dedicate the turner ward to your mother , you will be front and center . i promise you . jill : yeah , and you can make a nice long speech to whoever will listen , if anybody does . devon : jill , you can make your point without being nasty . there 's no reason to insult my wife , all right ? jill : there 's every reason , devon . where shall i begin ? devon : i think that katherine would want us to be united . phyllis : you know , jack and jill and i , we have handled all of the arrangements just fine on our own . hilary : okay , well , if you think that you 're gon na dismiss us , that 's -- jill : would you please remind miss haughtiness over there who is footing the bill for katherine 's wing ? that is enough reason for you to back me up on this . i will be handling the press . you will be nowhere to be seen . hilary : this whole event was my idea . i 'm the one who suggested naming the wing in the first place . if it was n't for my contribution -- jill : enough ! we 're gon na do this my way . now , i 've said all i 'm gon na say on the subject . and you cross me at your own peril . jack : this is my foundation , my call . hilary will introduce you briefly and you will make your presentation . i expect you to respect my decision and not make a scene , jill . jill : i 've said all i 'm gon na say on the subject . if anybody needs me , i 'll be at the bar . jack : [ sighs ] jill : bloody mary . easy rocks . bethany : you got it . jill : hold on a minute . you look really familiar . do i know you from somewhere ? bethany : uh , you know , i just have one of those faces . jill : oh , my goodness . you 're the girl i caught with billy the other night , are n't you ? uh ... britney . bethany : bethany . jill : are you sure ? bethany : quite . jill : because that 's not the name that billy gave me . bethany : you know , he 's gon na get it right next time . jill : [ laughs ] you 're very optimistic -- `` next time . `` okay ? i 'm pretty sure you 're just a distraction for my son . bethany : i beg your pardon . jill : meaningless sex , honey . bethany : is that what billy said to you ? jill : he did n't have to tell me that . i know that he 's in love with his ex- wife . victoria : i need to get going . um , i 'll bring johnny home . hannah 's with katherine , so ... billy : i 'm sure you have a busy day , especially with the oil - rig thing . victoria : can we just not argue about that anymore ? just stay out of it . billy : sounds good . victoria : good . thank you . billy : well , i 'm sure you 're wondering about your old division , how the new fragrance is going . if you 've got two cents , i 'll take it because i 've had a hell of a time trying to make decisions . victoria : no , not at all , actually . like you said , it 's my old division , so no . billy : listen , last night we said we were gon na be honest with each other about ... who we 're seeing -- victoria : no . no , no , no . that 's what you said . i did n't say that . billy : we 're missing a chance at the truth here . so ... instead we spun silly stories . so let 's just say it . victoria : i think that was wise . billy : really ? was it ? victoria : yeah . billy : why ? we had a chance to open the air a little bit and not make things so awkward between us . because i have to say -- victoria : yeah , it 's still really -- it 's awkward still . billy : so i 'm gon na tell you who i 'm sleeping with . victoria : ugh . billy : i want you to do the same . travis : i know i 'm a little behind , but i need that inventory . we can work out a plan . well , if i go out of business , you wo n't get a cent . i ca n't run a bar without any liquor . the guy has money trouble . luca : well , i want details as soon as you can get them . summer : hey . oh , who was that ? luca : oh , just getting an update on the newman oil situation . summer : oh . how 's that going ? luca : it 's holding steady . but i think it 's critical we order a safety check for all our rigs and wells ... well , no . i meant to say your family 's rigs and wells . i 'm -- i 'm still an outsider . summer : well , um , actually , about that , i have a proposal to make . luca : a proposal ? hmm . how intriguing . tell me more . summer : well , i just think it 's time for us to take things to the next level . you know , show everybody how much you mean to me . and -- most importantly -- have it so that you , me , and my closet can all be at the same place at the same time . luca : are you asking what i think you 're asking ? summer : move in with me ? luca : you really want this ? summer : yes . yes ! okay , we practically spend all of our time together , and you ca n't stay at a hotel forever . luca : [ chuckles ] summer : and you 've already lived at my house once , so you should feel perfectly at home . luca : yeah , if your family does n't kill me first . summer : okay , this is my life . they do not get a say in how i run it . but there is one person who might actually approve . luca : who 's that ? summer : my aunt victoria . she seems to be coming around where you 're concerned , and i think she might finally appreciate what you 're capable of . luca : yeah , i 've noticed that , too . summer : who knows ? maybe everyone else will follow her lead . luca : would n't that be something ? i hope they do . because i 'm not going anywhere . summer : so , is that a yes ? luca : i 'll start packing my things . summer : yay ! [ chuckles ] luca : mm . victoria : i do n't really care who 's in your bed these days . i do n't need that information . billy : you do n't care ? you do n't wonder ? victoria : no , honestly , i do n't . billy : okay , well , i 'm gon na tell you because my mom walked in in us , and the whole town 's gon na know , and i 'd rather you hear it from me . so it 's a waitress that used to work for me at boulevard . victoria : okay . look . your personal life is -- is your -- your business . it 's not mine . billy : i do n't want a relationship with her . i 'm not looking for that , so you know . victoria : i do n't want to hear this . i really do n't , and i 'm not gon na volunteer any information about who i 'm seeing , either . billy : we got to a good place last night . why ca n't we stay there ? victoria : i thought we were in a good place , too , but now you 've screwed it up again . billy : [ sighs ] bethany : you 're billy 's mother . we really should n't be discussing his love life . jill : if you 're smart , you 'll listen to what i 'm saying to you . look . billy is a charmer . he is handsome . he is wealthy . he 's quite the catch . so no wonder you would want to be the one to land him . i do n't blame you for that . bethany : i have no expectations where your son 's concerned . jill : good . good . because it would be a colossal waste of time . honey , he 's gon na use you and throw you away . bethany : well , thank you so much for the helpful advice . and now , if you 'll excuse me , it 's time for my break . i hope . nikki : we have n't talked in so long . how are you ? neil : i 'm doing good . i am . i 'm fine . the foundation is doing great . i 'm very proud of what we 've accomplished . and i 'll tell you something . katherine -- she would love the fact that we 're doing this in her honor . nikki : oh , i know that she would . and i 'm so happy to hear that you 're doing well . neil : thanks . nikki : but i also know how hard it is to avoid temptation , even when things are going well . neil : um , yeah . why are you telling me this ? nikki : i just want you to know you have a friend in me , okay ? if you ever need me , just call me , day or night . i will be there . neil : ah , nikki , you are my old friend . thank you so much . that 's very generous , but i am doing okay . it 's a good thing , too , because for an active drunk to be running a foundation where the first project is a treatment center -- i 'd be a hell of a hypocrite , would n't you say ? nikki : let me tell you something . every person in this room has done something they regret . the important thing is to own it . hilary : jack , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to cause any tension between you and jill , really . phyllis : sure you did . devon : what 's that supposed to mean , phyllis ? phyllis : well , if hilary did n't want to cause any trouble , she would n't have gone out of her way to antagonize jill , is what that means . jack : for the record , hilary and i had already spoken about her giving the opening remarks . she was not overstepping . hilary : thank you , jack . now , before everyone arrives , there are a few things that i need to go over with you . phyllis : well , i 'm gon na leave you to it . i 'm gon na get some air . hilary : now , this was the substance of what i was planning to say . nikki : well , hi , jill . jill : hello there , nikki . nikki : i 'm so glad you could come home for katherine 's event . jill : oh , i would n't miss it . i must say , you 're looking very well . nikki : well , thank you . you look great , considering all the traveling you do . jill : what 's that supposed to mean ? nikki : oh , well , you know how all those flights and miles can really wear and tear on a person , but not you . jill : [ chuckles ] so , how 's victor ? oh , is he enjoying life behind bars ? i 'm sure you 're running up there every two seconds to visit him , huh ? nikki : actually , i 'm divorcing him . jill : well ... that 's the smartest thing you 've done since marrying him . nikki : well , i -- oh ! and look , here 's esther . so good to see you . esther : oh , nikki , it is great to see you , too . nikki : thank you . jill : i 'm sure you ca n't say the same thing about me , can you ? esther : that 's for sure . nikki : um , if you 'll excuse me , i see somebody i have to say hello to . jill : bye . esther : oh , eating your veggies . good for you . jill : well , my poor pancreas has finally recovered from all your health - food concoctions . esther : oh , i suppose you 're back to wolfing down red meat and eating refined carbs and catching anything you can in your claws . jill : tell me . are you still scurrying around cleaning up other people 's messes ? esther : i know that you are trying to belittle me , but i love working at crimson lights . dylan is such a pleasure to deal with , unlike some people . jill : i wish you were still living at the mansion . esther : oh , why ? so i could wait on you hand and foot anytime you flit into town ? jill : no , that 's not what i meant . it was so you could have talked billy out of redecorating . esther : what are you talking about ? jill : you did n't know i signed the mansion over to billy ? [ sighs ] i was hoping that maybe he 'd grown up enough to make a real home out of it . esther : oh , well ... i - i - i think that katherine would approve . jill : i wish that that house had never had to change hands , esther . i wish that katherine and i and you were still there , driving each other crazy ... instead of us sitting here , waiting to dedicate a building to her memory . i just wish we could turn back the clock -- things could be the way they were . esther : me , too . jack : yeah . so keep it short . hilary : mm - hmm . jack : but press on these three points . hilary : i think that 's -- that 's brilliant . jack : yeah . okay . that about covers it . really nice job . hilary : my pleasure . jack : uh , if you 'll excuse me , i 'll see you later . devon : okay . hilary : i want to thank you , by the way . devon : thank me for what , honey ? hilary : for defending me , supporting me earlier when jill was being such a -- devon : jill was being jill ? hilary : well , i know that i get caught up in myself and in my work , and i do n't tell you enough how much i appreciate you . but i do , okay ? and i love you so much . jack : phyllis had to step out for a bit . are you looking for her ? luca : uh , yeah , to share some good news . summer : yes , the absolute best news . luca and i are gon na be living together . jack : well , that 's sudden . whose idea was that ? summer : mine . luca : i was delighted when summer suggested it . jack : moving in together -- that 's a pretty big step . summer : yeah , one that we are ready to take . nikki : well , i hope you 've thought this through . i 'd hate for you to do something impulsive only to regret it later . billy : so , what are the odds , running into you here again ? travis : it 's getting hotter , and the ac is shot . i just need a loan to tide me over . i can have it paid back by the end of september . business always picks up in the summer , but it wo n't if it 's sweltering in here . [ sighs ] great . thanks for nothing . [ receiver slams ] victoria : you okay ? travis : it 's my problem , not yours . victoria : well , you 're in luck . i happen to be a problem solver . travis : just leave it alone , tori . victoria : tell me what 's wrong . travis : it 's nothing 20 grand would n't cure , but there 's nothing you can do about it , so ... [ sighs ] what are you drinking ? summer : i have thought about our relationship very carefully , and this is something that luca and i both want . nikki : well , honey , you say that now -- summer : i do n't expect you to give us your blessing . i mean , you and i have n't been agreeing on much lately , anyway . nikki : well , that 's true . you were quite harsh with me when you found out about the divorce , and , frankly , it hurt me very much . summer : well , i 'm sorry . that was n't my intention . nikki : i know it was n't . but for some reason , you seem to think that your grandfather needs protecting . and you are entitled to your opinion on that subject , just as i 'm entitled to leave a marriage that has become toxic . the one thing i do n't want is for this rift between us to get any bigger . summer : yeah , i do n't want that , either . nikki : well , you 're a grown woman . you can make your own decisions . if you and luca want to live together , that 's your prerogative . summer : well , thank you . jack : you 'd better take good care of her . luca : i promise i will . nikki : if you do n't keep that promise , you 'll have a lot of people to answer to . summer : there 's not gon na be a problem , grandma . we 're very happy . luca : uh , as long as we 're here , as long as we 're all together , may i extend my congratulations on today 's event ? jack : yeah , actually , we should probably get things started . jill : hello . i am jill abbott atkinson , and i 'm ceo of chancellor industries , and i want to welcome all of you ... nikki : problem ? jack : nothing i should n't have expected . jill : i am deeply proud to support the abbott - winters foundation . it 's an organization devoted to improving the lives of people both locally , nationally , and internationally . [ applause ] jill : yes . but today , we 're here because of a very special project that is centered right here in genoa city -- the opening , in the very near future , of a brand - new , beautiful , state - of - the - art rehabilitation and recovery center to help people who are struggling with addiction . [ applause ] jill : now , the wing housing the treatment facility is being dedicated to a very , very dear friend of mine , the late katherine chancellor . this was an extraordinary woman , and she dealt with alcoholism for many decades . and we are hoping that her name and her strength and her determination to embrace life right up till the last moment is gon na inspire all of those who pass through the center 's doors . [ applause ] jill : this plaque bearing katherine 's name will hang in the entrance of the chancellor memorial wing . [ cheers and applause ] victoria : thanks . travis : you 're welcome . victoria : [ sighs ] so , you need money . travis : i would n't if the damn banks would loosen their purse strings ! now , they 've got the capital . they just wo n't part with it , even for someone with decent credit . [ sighs ] loans are reserved for their cronies in the one percent . it 's people just like them . sorry . i -- i did n't mean to dump that on you . victoria : no . it 's okay . you know , i -- i asked . travis : yeah , but you 're not the enemy . far from it . i 'm glad you 're here . i thought you were gon na come by last night . victoria : oh , yeah . well , something came up with my son . um ... travis : i understand . it just so happens i 'm free tonight . we can take a walk down by the lake , maybe go back to my place -- victoria : uh , no , that 's not gon na work for me . phyllis : what are you doing here ? billy : i could ask you the same thing . why are n't you with jack at the big announcement for his foundation ? phyllis : i needed a break . jill and hilary were bickering , and then jack sided with hilary . should have listened to jill and put that social - climbing parasite in her place . but i should get going and get back there . i want to be there for jack . billy : yeah . i know you 're trying to shore up your marriage . how 's that working out for you ? phyllis : you really want to know the answer to that question ? billy : i should tell you to go back there and be with your man , you know , smile the smile , walk the walk . but i 'm not gon na do that . you want to know why ? because ... 'cause i know what you really need . travis : so last night , you stood me up -- because of your son , you said -- and now you 've come down here to say you ca n't see me tonight , either ? victoria : well , i know that , but we did n't have plans tonight . i just -- i just wanted to check in and say hi and -- travis : mm . victoria : i ca n't stay long . i owe my boss a ton of work . so ... travis : which you could have told me over the phone . victoria : i could have , but i did n't . i 'm here . maybe i should have called . travis : that 's really all you wanted to say to me ? victoria : yeah . that 's it . travis : tori [ chuckles ] it would n't kill you to just once admit you wanted to see me . victoria : okay . i admit it . i wanted to see you , and it 's ... lovely to see you . but i -- i got to get going . travis : tori . tori . wait . phyllis : you know what i need ? billy : yeah , i know what you need . you need an escape from all of it , the boring obligations and the petty nitpicking and the random interview requests -- phyllis : i 'm not going back to your place , if that 's what you 're suggesting . billy : get your mind out of the gutter , young phyllis . i 'm talking about pavement , baby . phyllis : what ? billy : a motorcycle ride . except this time , i 'm gon na drive so you can hold on tight and enjoy the view . phyllis : okay . i ca n't . billy : you can . phyllis : billy . billy : [ chuckles ] come on . see , there it is . i can see that you want to do it . the fresh air . wind in your hair . the feeling of living on the edge . i just happen to have an extra helmet and an extra leather jacket . we wo n't be long . we 'll tool around the park a couple times . i 'll have you back at the club before you know it . what do you say , beautiful ? phyllis : let 's go . [ indistinct conversations ] summer : well , we tried . luca : [ sighs ] summer : mom is n't here , where we thought she 'd be . i tried calling the office , but she 's not there , either . so i do n't know where else to look . luca : [ sighs ] well , when the news finally does reach her and she does n't approve , what are you gon na tell her ? summer : that ... i am in love with you . luca : [ exhales sharply ] i love you , too . [ chuckles ] let 's go home and celebrate . okay ? summer : okay . [ indistinct conversations ] hilary : [ clears throat ] hello . may i have everyone 's attention , please ? my name is hilary hamilton , and i would like to introduce you to the two men who have made this incredible day possible -- jack abbott and neil winters . [ applause ] hilary : jack is the driving force of this foundation , his legendary passion for excellence evident in every aspect of the new treatment center . neil winters , the organization 's co - founder -- his presence has been known from the very beginning . he has brought a wealth of business and personal experience to the table . but now if we can please announce jack ? if you can come over ? [ applause ] jack : thank you , hilary . thank you for your kind words . i could not have accomplished any of this without neil winters ' help and inspiration . his desire to create a safe place for addicts to gather , to get counseling , to put their lives back on track -- that created the abbott - winters foundation , a place whose clarion call to addicts of all stripes is this simple -- no matter how dark your day is , there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow . ladies and gentlemen , my friend , my partner , and my sponsor , neil winters . [ applause ] neil : [ chuckles ] yeah . jack , thanks . thank you . [ clears throat ] hi . thank you . hi , everyone . um , it 's true . we have assembled a team of doctors , of experts , of therapists that are all renowned for their success rates . they have been working hard to put together a program that will set a new standard of care in the field . and , as jill mentioned , katherine chancellor has always been a source of inspiration for me and for jack , if i might say , jack . she was always very open about her battle with alcohol . she wanted other people to know that as long as you faced your addiction head on , that if you turned your will and your life over to the care of a higher power and you held out your hand and you asked for support , that you could conquer anything . as co - founder of this foundation ... i am going to follow her example now , which is why i intend -- i intend to sign myself in as the center 's first patient . [ camera shutters clicking ] neil : due to some challenging family issues , i am not proud -- i fact , i 'm ashamed to , uh , tell you all that i 've -- i 've broken my sobriety ... proving that you 're only one drink away from a relapse . are those `` issues `` related to your son , devon , marrying your former wife ? did that drive you to drink ? neil : well , sir , that is a rather simplistic explanation for a rather complex -- i - i - i do n't know how to answer that . nikki : i 'll answer this question if you do n't mind , neil . neil : sure , nikki . by all means . nikki : my name is nikki newman , and i 'm also an alcoholic . most alcoholics and addicts get to remain anonymous , but that 's never the case when your name is newman . my struggle with alcohol has been well publicized over the years . i 'm practically inured to it . i say `` practically `` because it does still hurt to be the subject of gossip and innuendo . neil winters is a dear friend of mine . and i know how much courage it took for him to come up here today and announce that he needs help . i think that we should acknowledge that bravery with compassion instead of salacious questions that do n't run to the spirit of what we are doing here today . we admitted that we have no power over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable . that 's the first step . katherine chancellor -- she used to say that 's the most important one because that 's the one that we keep doing over and over when we fall and pick ourselves up and try to start over again . for that reason and many others , the newman family fully supports the abbott - winters foundation , do n't we , victoria ? in fact , why do n't you come up and say a few words , honey ? everyone , my daughter , victoria newman . [ applause ] victoria : thank you . uh , well , it 's a pleasure to be here to support such an important endeavor that will touch so many lives . i was planning to make an announcement at the grand opening of the center , but , well , now is as good a time as any , i suppose . so , without further ado , it 's my pleasure to announce that our company , newman enterprises , will donate $ 5 million to the abbott- winters foundation to further its mission . wow ! [ applause ] [ cell phone vibrating ] jack : hello ? this is jack abbott . what ? when ? i 'm on my way . jill : what happened , jack ? jack : there 's been an accident . [ next_on ] paul : i want to know what 's going on . victor : fasten your seatbelt . i might tell you more than you bargained for . stitch : did anybody see what happened ? he was alone when we got there , but someone called 911 . phyllis : [ crying ] | travis applied for and was denied a $ 20,000 bank loan for bar upkeep . cane wished katherine was around to give him advice on handling hilary . nikki overheard cane . they talked about katherine , and cane admitted he was having trouble having compassion for neil because he did n't understand why neil kept drinking again . nikki gave him some insight into what it was like to be an addict . jill and hilary bumped heads over hilary 's intention to introduce jill at the ceremony to dedicate a wing to katherine . devon defended hilary from jill 's insults . jack pulled rank and said he wanted hilary to make the introduction . jill walked off . phyllis accused hilary of antagonizing jill . jack took hilary 's side , and an irritated phyllis decided to get some air . phyllis looked suspicious when she saw the way hilary tossed her hair while talking to jack . phyllis went to the park . hilary thanked devon for standing up for her . jill warned bethany that she was just a distraction to billy and that billy was still in love with victoria . jill traded barbs with both nikki and esther . jill softened and admitted she missed living with esther and katherine . neil reached out to lily , but she was cold toward him and accused him of giving hilary something to wield over the family for the rest of their lives . nikki reminded neil that she 'd always be there if he needed her . neil eyed a glass of alcohol . victoria woke up on billy 's couch . johnny was feeling better . billy tenderly touched victoria 's hair , but she recoiled . billy suggested that they clear the air by talking about who they were sleeping with . although victoria said she did n't care , billy revealed that he was having a fling with a waitress . billy hoped victoria would open up next . victoria refused to volunteer anything . she snapped that she and billy had been in a good place , but now he 'd screwed it up . victoria stormed upstairs to get johnny . | <s>[INST] cane : i owe you an apology , katherine . i sided with hilary the other day , and it was a mistake because this hospital wing that jill 's underwriting should have your name on it and nobody else 's . look , i understand why hilary wants to honor her mother , but she 's willing to diminish your name in the process , and that is just ... it 's unacceptable . you know , the good news is , though , that at least this time around , it worked itself out . but next time , i just ... i just do n't know what she 's gon na do , 'cause she just likes to throw her weight around 'cause that 's who she is . [ chuckles ] you know , it 's funny . like , right now , i miss you the most because -- i do n't know -- moving forward , i just do n't know how to handle this . nikki : handle what ? maybe i could help . neil : well ... [ sighs ] today 's the day . lily : uh - huh . neil : uh , lily , in light of everything , thank you very much for agreeing to help . dedicating a wing to the treatment center in katherine 's name ... it 's an amazing day for the foundation . thank you . lily : i 'm really not doing any of this for you . today is about honoring katherine . she 's the only reason that we 're all here together . jill : how long before we 're up and running ? jack : the architect has promised to give me a grand - opening date next week , which means this ceremony today will grab the media 's attention . phyllis : katherine deserves her own special spotlight . jill : i could n't agree with you more . so what about today ? what 's the order of events ? hilary : well , once we get under way , i will be delivering some opening remarks that i have prepared . jill : [ scoffs ] the hell you will . the only thing you should be prepared for is to stay out of the way and keep your mouth shut . summer : oh , my god . okay , i can not believe i just slept that late . luca : not that we got that much sleep . summer : [ chuckles ] trust me , i am not complaining . but i need to get home . you know , where my clothes and my things are . luca : stay . just a little longer . summer : [ chuckles ] luca : mm . mm . victoria : ohh . [ sighs ] johnny ! oh , my goodness . billy : hey , hey , hey . no , no . he 's good . he 's good . he 's still sleeping . he 's doing better than he did last night , at least . victoria : [ sighs ] really ? billy : yeah . he does n't have a fever anymore . he has n't thrown up since . so i 'm assuming it was just a little bug . victoria : oh , thank goodness . [ clears throat ] billy : how are you feeling ? victoria : good , you know . a little stiff , i guess . sorry about last night . billy : what are you sorry about ? victoria : i , um ... i passed out on your sofa . i guess it was the wine , maybe . billy : yeah . it did n't affect me at all . i slept great in my big , comfy bed . victoria : mm . oh , i look a wreck . billy : come on , victoria . you 've always looked amazing in the morning . cane : i 'm just thinking out loud . that 's it . nikki : yeah ? cane : yeah , 'cause it 's nothing that anyone can really help me with 'cause i 'm kind of -- i 'm walking this line between lily and the family . you know , with neil and devon and hilary , it 's just ... nikki : well , unfortunately , i 've become somewhat of an expert on dysfunctional family relationships . maybe i can help you . cane : yeah ? nikki : but i can certainly understand your wanting advice from katherine . i ask myself all the time , `` what would katherine do ? `` cane : does that work ? nikki : sometimes . god , i miss her so much . cane : i miss her , too . nikki : i mean , i do have people i can go to . meetings . but nobody like katherine . when things were at their worst , she was my lifeline . i could always count on her to speak the truth . she understood how hard it was , even when you wanted a drink more than anything else . cane : you know , the thing for me is i 've never had to walk in those shoes , so i find it difficult to understand . nikki : really ? understand what ? cane : i do n't understand how someone could say they want to be sober 'cause they know how much they 're hurting the people in the family they love , and they genuinely mean it , and then they just ... start drinking again . nikki : you 're talking about neil . cane : yeah . and i 'm trying to be compassionate . i am , but it 's just ... it 's a battle for me . you know ? nikki : let me tell you something . i have had a drink after swearing i would n't more times than i can count . and i have tried to stay sober for other people . that does n't work . you have to do it for yourself , or you 're guaranteed to fail . i know it 's painful to watch , but there 's always hope . cane : yeah . nikki : and you keep supporting them . eventually , most people will find their way to the help they need . cane : that 's good to know . nikki : i mean , that really is the message of this gathering we 're having today , is n't it ? because that 's certainly what katherine believed . neil : i know you ca n't forgive me for all the lies or the indefensible way that i behaved towards hilary . and i 'm sorry to put you in this terrible position asking you to keep my secret , but i -- i do n't -- [ sighs ] lily : it 's not just about the cover - up . it 's the fact that i have to bite my tongue every time she uses what you did to blackmail us . neil : okay . shh . shh . shh . lily : that woman is an evil bitch . and the day that you kidnapped her is the day that you gave her a weapon that she could use against us forever . hilary : jill , you are overreacting . jill : mm ... no , i do n't think so . devon : let 's just take it down a notch . she 's not trying to hijack your moment , jill . hilary : i 'm simply gon na welcome the press , explain the mission of the new treatment center , and then turn it over to you . that 's my job as communication liaison . jill : i do n't really care what your inflated title is . this is katherine 's day . jack : hilary , when we dedicate the turner ward to your mother , you will be front and center . i promise you . jill : yeah , and you can make a nice long speech to whoever will listen , if anybody does . devon : jill , you can make your point without being nasty . there 's no reason to insult my wife , all right ? jill : there 's every reason , devon . where shall i begin ? devon : i think that katherine would want us to be united . phyllis : you know , jack and jill and i , we have handled all of the arrangements just fine on our own . hilary : okay , well , if you think that you 're gon na dismiss us , that 's -- jill : would you please remind miss haughtiness over there who is footing the bill for katherine 's wing ? that is enough reason for you to back me up on this . i will be handling the press . you will be nowhere to be seen . hilary : this whole event was my idea . i 'm the one who suggested naming the wing in the first place . if it was n't for my contribution -- jill : enough ! we 're gon na do this my way . now , i 've said all i 'm gon na say on the subject . and you cross me at your own peril . jack : this is my foundation , my call . hilary will introduce you briefly and you will make your presentation . i expect you to respect my decision and not make a scene , jill . jill : i 've said all i 'm gon na say on the subject . if anybody needs me , i 'll be at the bar . jack : [ sighs ] jill : bloody mary . easy rocks . bethany : you got it . jill : hold on a minute . you look really familiar . do i know you from somewhere ? bethany : uh , you know , i just have one of those faces . jill : oh , my goodness . you 're the girl i caught with billy the other night , are n't you ? uh ... britney . bethany : bethany . jill : are you sure ? bethany : quite . jill : because that 's not the name that billy gave me . bethany : you know , he 's gon na get it right next time . jill : [ laughs ] you 're very optimistic -- `` next time . `` okay ? i 'm pretty sure you 're just a distraction for my son . bethany : i beg your pardon . jill : meaningless sex , honey . bethany : is that what billy said to you ? jill : he did n't have to tell me that . i know that he 's in love with his ex- wife . victoria : i need to get going . um , i 'll bring johnny home . hannah 's with katherine , so ... billy : i 'm sure you have a busy day , especially with the oil - rig thing . victoria : can we just not argue about that anymore ? just stay out of it . billy : sounds good . victoria : good . thank you . billy : well , i 'm sure you 're wondering about your old division , how the new fragrance is going . if you 've got two cents , i 'll take it because i 've had a hell of a time trying to make decisions . victoria : no , not at all , actually . like you said , it 's my old division , so no . billy : listen , last night we said we were gon na be honest with each other about ... who we 're seeing -- victoria : no . no , no , no . that 's what you said . i did n't say that . billy : we 're missing a chance at the truth here . so ... instead we spun silly stories . so let 's just say it . victoria : i think that was wise . billy : really ? was it ? victoria : yeah . billy : why ? we had a chance to open the air a little bit and not make things so awkward between us . because i have to say -- victoria : yeah , it 's still really -- it 's awkward still . billy : so i 'm gon na tell you who i 'm sleeping with . victoria : ugh . billy : i want you to do the same . travis : i know i 'm a little behind , but i need that inventory . we can work out a plan . well , if i go out of business , you wo n't get a cent . i ca n't run a bar without any liquor . the guy has money trouble . luca : well , i want details as soon as you can get them . summer : hey . oh , who was that ? luca : oh , just getting an update on the newman oil situation . summer : oh . how 's that going ? luca : it 's holding steady . but i think it 's critical we order a safety check for all our rigs and wells ... well , no . i meant to say your family 's rigs and wells . i 'm -- i 'm still an outsider . summer : well , um , actually , about that , i have a proposal to make . luca : a proposal ? hmm . how intriguing . tell me more . summer : well , i just think it 's time for us to take things to the next level . you know , show everybody how much you mean to me . and -- most importantly -- have it so that you , me , and my closet can all be at the same place at the same time . luca : are you asking what i think you 're asking ? summer : move in with me ? luca : you really want this ? summer : yes . yes ! okay , we practically spend all of our time together , and you ca n't stay at a hotel forever . luca : [ chuckles ] summer : and you 've already lived at my house once , so you should feel perfectly at home . luca : yeah , if your family does n't kill me first . summer : okay , this is my life . they do not get a say in how i run it . but there is one person who might actually approve . luca : who 's that ? summer : my aunt victoria . she seems to be coming around where you 're concerned , and i think she might finally appreciate what you 're capable of . luca : yeah , i 've noticed that , too . summer : who knows ? maybe everyone else will follow her lead . luca : would n't that be something ? i hope they do . because i 'm not going anywhere . summer : so , is that a yes ? luca : i 'll start packing my things . summer : yay ! [ chuckles ] luca : mm . victoria : i do n't really care who 's in your bed these days . i do n't need that information . billy : you do n't care ? you do n't wonder ? victoria : no , honestly , i do n't . billy : okay , well , i 'm gon na tell you because my mom walked in in us , and the whole town 's gon na know , and i 'd rather you hear it from me . so it 's a waitress that used to work for me at boulevard . victoria : okay . look . your personal life is -- is your -- your business . it 's not mine . billy : i do n't want a relationship with her . i 'm not looking for that , so you know . victoria : i do n't want to hear this . i really do n't , and i 'm not gon na volunteer any information about who i 'm seeing , either . billy : we got to a good place last night . why ca n't we stay there ? victoria : i thought we were in a good place , too , but now you 've screwed it up again . billy : [ sighs ] bethany : you 're billy 's mother . we really should n't be discussing his love life . jill : if you 're smart , you 'll listen to what i 'm saying to you . look . billy is a charmer . he is handsome . he is wealthy . he 's quite the catch . so no wonder you would want to be the one to land him . i do n't blame you for that . bethany : i have no expectations where your son 's concerned . jill : good . good . because it would be a colossal waste of time . honey , he 's gon na use you and throw you away . bethany : well , thank you so much for the helpful advice . and now , if you 'll excuse me , it 's time for my break . i hope . nikki : we have n't talked in so long . how are you ? neil : i 'm doing good . i am . i 'm fine . the foundation is doing great . i 'm very proud of what we 've accomplished . and i 'll tell you something . katherine -- she would love the fact that we 're doing this in her honor . nikki : oh , i know that she would . and i 'm so happy to hear that you 're doing well . neil : thanks . nikki : but i also know how hard it is to avoid temptation , even when things are going well . neil : um , yeah . why are you telling me this ? nikki : i just want you to know you have a friend in me , okay ? if you ever need me , just call me , day or night . i will be there . neil : ah , nikki , you are my old friend . thank you so much . that 's very generous , but i am doing okay . it 's a good thing , too , because for an active drunk to be running a foundation where the first project is a treatment center -- i 'd be a hell of a hypocrite , would n't you say ? nikki : let me tell you something . every person in this room has done something they regret . the important thing is to own it . hilary : jack , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to cause any tension between you and jill , really . phyllis : sure you did . devon : what 's that supposed to mean , phyllis ? phyllis : well , if hilary did n't want to cause any trouble , she would n't have gone out of her way to antagonize jill , is what that means . jack : for the record , hilary and i had already spoken about her giving the opening remarks . she was not overstepping . hilary : thank you , jack . now , before everyone arrives , there are a few things that i need to go over with you . phyllis : well , i 'm gon na leave you to it . i 'm gon na get some air . hilary : now , this was the substance of what i was planning to say . nikki : well , hi , jill . jill : hello there , nikki . nikki : i 'm so glad you could come home for katherine 's event . jill : oh , i would n't miss it . i must say , you 're looking very well . nikki : well , thank you . you look great , considering all the traveling you do . jill : what 's that supposed to mean ? nikki : oh , well , you know how all those flights and miles can really wear and tear on a person , but not you . jill : [ chuckles ] so , how 's victor ? oh , is he enjoying life behind bars ? i 'm sure you 're running up there every two seconds to visit him , huh ? nikki : actually , i 'm divorcing him . jill : well ... that 's the smartest thing you 've done since marrying him . nikki : well , i -- oh ! and look , here 's esther . so good to see you . esther : oh , nikki , it is great to see you , too . nikki : thank you . jill : i 'm sure you ca n't say the same thing about me , can you ? esther : that 's for sure . nikki : um , if you 'll excuse me , i see somebody i have to say hello to . jill : bye . esther : oh , eating your veggies . good for you . jill : well , my poor pancreas has finally recovered from all your health - food concoctions . esther : oh , i suppose you 're back to wolfing down red meat and eating refined carbs and catching anything you can in your claws . jill : tell me . are you still scurrying around cleaning up other people 's messes ? esther : i know that you are trying to belittle me , but i love working at crimson lights . dylan is such a pleasure to deal with , unlike some people . jill : i wish you were still living at the mansion . esther : oh , why ? so i could wait on you hand and foot anytime you flit into town ? jill : no , that 's not what i meant . it was so you could have talked billy out of redecorating . esther : what are you talking about ? jill : you did n't know i signed the mansion over to billy ? [ sighs ] i was hoping that maybe he 'd grown up enough to make a real home out of it . esther : oh , well ... i - i - i think that katherine would approve . jill : i wish that that house had never had to change hands , esther . i wish that katherine and i and you were still there , driving each other crazy ... instead of us sitting here , waiting to dedicate a building to her memory . i just wish we could turn back the clock -- things could be the way they were . esther : me , too . jack : yeah . so keep it short . hilary : mm - hmm . jack : but press on these three points . hilary : i think that 's -- that 's brilliant . jack : yeah . okay . that about covers it . really nice job . hilary : my pleasure . jack : uh , if you 'll excuse me , i 'll see you later . devon : okay . hilary : i want to thank you , by the way . devon : thank me for what , honey ? hilary : for defending me , supporting me earlier when jill was being such a -- devon : jill was being jill ? hilary : well , i know that i get caught up in myself and in my work , and i do n't tell you enough how much i appreciate you . but i do , okay ? and i love you so much . jack : phyllis had to step out for a bit . are you looking for her ? luca : uh , yeah , to share some good news . summer : yes , the absolute best news . luca and i are gon na be living together . jack : well , that 's sudden . whose idea was that ? summer : mine . luca : i was delighted when summer suggested it . jack : moving in together -- that 's a pretty big step . summer : yeah , one that we are ready to take . nikki : well , i hope you 've thought this through . i 'd hate for you to do something impulsive only to regret it later . billy : so , what are the odds , running into you here again ? travis : it 's getting hotter , and the ac is shot . i just need a loan to tide me over . i can have it paid back by the end of september . business always picks up in the summer , but it wo n't if it 's sweltering in here . [ sighs ] great . thanks for nothing . [ receiver slams ] victoria : you okay ? travis : it 's my problem , not yours . victoria : well , you 're in luck . i happen to be a problem solver . travis : just leave it alone , tori . victoria : tell me what 's wrong . travis : it 's nothing 20 grand would n't cure , but there 's nothing you can do about it , so ... [ sighs ] what are you drinking ? summer : i have thought about our relationship very carefully , and this is something that luca and i both want . nikki : well , honey , you say that now -- summer : i do n't expect you to give us your blessing . i mean , you and i have n't been agreeing on much lately , anyway . nikki : well , that 's true . you were quite harsh with me when you found out about the divorce , and , frankly , it hurt me very much . summer : well , i 'm sorry . that was n't my intention . nikki : i know it was n't . but for some reason , you seem to think that your grandfather needs protecting . and you are entitled to your opinion on that subject , just as i 'm entitled to leave a marriage that has become toxic . the one thing i do n't want is for this rift between us to get any bigger . summer : yeah , i do n't want that , either . nikki : well , you 're a grown woman . you can make your own decisions . if you and luca want to live together , that 's your prerogative . summer : well , thank you . jack : you 'd better take good care of her . luca : i promise i will . nikki : if you do n't keep that promise , you 'll have a lot of people to answer to . summer : there 's not gon na be a problem , grandma . we 're very happy . luca : uh , as long as we 're here , as long as we 're all together , may i extend my congratulations on today 's event ? jack : yeah , actually , we should probably get things started . jill : hello . i am jill abbott atkinson , and i 'm ceo of chancellor industries , and i want to welcome all of you ... nikki : problem ? jack : nothing i should n't have expected . jill : i am deeply proud to support the abbott - winters foundation . it 's an organization devoted to improving the lives of people both locally , nationally , and internationally . [ applause ] jill : yes . but today , we 're here because of a very special project that is centered right here in genoa city -- the opening , in the very near future , of a brand - new , beautiful , state - of - the - art rehabilitation and recovery center to help people who are struggling with addiction . [ applause ] jill : now , the wing housing the treatment facility is being dedicated to a very , very dear friend of mine , the late katherine chancellor . this was an extraordinary woman , and she dealt with alcoholism for many decades . and we are hoping that her name and her strength and her determination to embrace life right up till the last moment is gon na inspire all of those who pass through the center 's doors . [ applause ] jill : this plaque bearing katherine 's name will hang in the entrance of the chancellor memorial wing . [ cheers and applause ] victoria : thanks . travis : you 're welcome . victoria : [ sighs ] so , you need money . travis : i would n't if the damn banks would loosen their purse strings ! now , they 've got the capital . they just wo n't part with it , even for someone with decent credit . [ sighs ] loans are reserved for their cronies in the one percent . it 's people just like them . sorry . i -- i did n't mean to dump that on you . victoria : no . it 's okay . you know , i -- i asked . travis : yeah , but you 're not the enemy . far from it . i 'm glad you 're here . i thought you were gon na come by last night . victoria : oh , yeah . well , something came up with my son . um ... travis : i understand . it just so happens i 'm free tonight . we can take a walk down by the lake , maybe go back to my place -- victoria : uh , no , that 's not gon na work for me . phyllis : what are you doing here ? billy : i could ask you the same thing . why are n't you with jack at the big announcement for his foundation ? phyllis : i needed a break . jill and hilary were bickering , and then jack sided with hilary . should have listened to jill and put that social - climbing parasite in her place . but i should get going and get back there . i want to be there for jack . billy : yeah . i know you 're trying to shore up your marriage . how 's that working out for you ? phyllis : you really want to know the answer to that question ? billy : i should tell you to go back there and be with your man , you know , smile the smile , walk the walk . but i 'm not gon na do that . you want to know why ? because ... 'cause i know what you really need . travis : so last night , you stood me up -- because of your son , you said -- and now you 've come down here to say you ca n't see me tonight , either ? victoria : well , i know that , but we did n't have plans tonight . i just -- i just wanted to check in and say hi and -- travis : mm . victoria : i ca n't stay long . i owe my boss a ton of work . so ... travis : which you could have told me over the phone . victoria : i could have , but i did n't . i 'm here . maybe i should have called . travis : that 's really all you wanted to say to me ? victoria : yeah . that 's it . travis : tori [ chuckles ] it would n't kill you to just once admit you wanted to see me . victoria : okay . i admit it . i wanted to see you , and it 's ... lovely to see you . but i -- i got to get going . travis : tori . tori . wait . phyllis : you know what i need ? billy : yeah , i know what you need . you need an escape from all of it , the boring obligations and the petty nitpicking and the random interview requests -- phyllis : i 'm not going back to your place , if that 's what you 're suggesting . billy : get your mind out of the gutter , young phyllis . i 'm talking about pavement , baby . phyllis : what ? billy : a motorcycle ride . except this time , i 'm gon na drive so you can hold on tight and enjoy the view . phyllis : okay . i ca n't . billy : you can . phyllis : billy . billy : [ chuckles ] come on . see , there it is . i can see that you want to do it . the fresh air . wind in your hair . the feeling of living on the edge . i just happen to have an extra helmet and an extra leather jacket . we wo n't be long . we 'll tool around the park a couple times . i 'll have you back at the club before you know it . what do you say , beautiful ? phyllis : let 's go . [ indistinct conversations ] summer : well , we tried . luca : [ sighs ] summer : mom is n't here , where we thought she 'd be . i tried calling the office , but she 's not there , either . so i do n't know where else to look . luca : [ sighs ] well , when the news finally does reach her and she does n't approve , what are you gon na tell her ? summer : that ... i am in love with you . luca : [ exhales sharply ] i love you , too . [ chuckles ] let 's go home and celebrate . okay ? summer : okay . [ indistinct conversations ] hilary : [ clears throat ] hello . may i have everyone 's attention , please ? my name is hilary hamilton , and i would like to introduce you to the two men who have made this incredible day possible -- jack abbott and neil winters . [ applause ] hilary : jack is the driving force of this foundation , his legendary passion for excellence evident in every aspect of the new treatment center . neil winters , the organization 's co - founder -- his presence has been known from the very beginning . he has brought a wealth of business and personal experience to the table . but now if we can please announce jack ? if you can come over ? [ applause ] jack : thank you , hilary . thank you for your kind words . i could not have accomplished any of this without neil winters ' help and inspiration . his desire to create a safe place for addicts to gather , to get counseling , to put their lives back on track -- that created the abbott - winters foundation , a place whose clarion call to addicts of all stripes is this simple -- no matter how dark your day is , there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow . ladies and gentlemen , my friend , my partner , and my sponsor , neil winters . [ applause ] neil : [ chuckles ] yeah . jack , thanks . thank you . [ clears throat ] hi . thank you . hi , everyone . um , it 's true . we have assembled a team of doctors , of experts , of therapists that are all renowned for their success rates . they have been working hard to put together a program that will set a new standard of care in the field . and , as jill mentioned , katherine chancellor has always been a source of inspiration for me and for jack , if i might say , jack . she was always very open about her battle with alcohol . she wanted other people to know that as long as you faced your addiction head on , that if you turned your will and your life over to the care of a higher power and you held out your hand and you asked for support , that you could conquer anything . as co - founder of this foundation ... i am going to follow her example now , which is why i intend -- i intend to sign myself in as the center 's first patient . [ camera shutters clicking ] neil : due to some challenging family issues , i am not proud -- i fact , i 'm ashamed to , uh , tell you all that i 've -- i 've broken my sobriety ... proving that you 're only one drink away from a relapse . are those `` issues `` related to your son , devon , marrying your former wife ? did that drive you to drink ? neil : well , sir , that is a rather simplistic explanation for a rather complex -- i - i - i do n't know how to answer that . nikki : i 'll answer this question if you do n't mind , neil . neil : sure , nikki . by all means . nikki : my name is nikki newman , and i 'm also an alcoholic . most alcoholics and addicts get to remain anonymous , but that 's never the case when your name is newman . my struggle with alcohol has been well publicized over the years . i 'm practically inured to it . i say `` practically `` because it does still hurt to be the subject of gossip and innuendo . neil winters is a dear friend of mine . and i know how much courage it took for him to come up here today and announce that he needs help . i think that we should acknowledge that bravery with compassion instead of salacious questions that do n't run to the spirit of what we are doing here today . we admitted that we have no power over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable . that 's the first step . katherine chancellor -- she used to say that 's the most important one because that 's the one that we keep doing over and over when we fall and pick ourselves up and try to start over again . for that reason and many others , the newman family fully supports the abbott - winters foundation , do n't we , victoria ? in fact , why do n't you come up and say a few words , honey ? everyone , my daughter , victoria newman . [ applause ] victoria : thank you . uh , well , it 's a pleasure to be here to support such an important endeavor that will touch so many lives . i was planning to make an announcement at the grand opening of the center , but , well , now is as good a time as any , i suppose . so , without further ado , it 's my pleasure to announce that our company , newman enterprises , will donate $ 5 million to the abbott- winters foundation to further its mission . wow ! [ applause ] [ cell phone vibrating ] jack : hello ? this is jack abbott . what ? when ? i 'm on my way . jill : what happened , jack ? jack : there 's been an accident . [ next_on ] paul : i want to know what 's going on . victor : fasten your seatbelt . i might tell you more than you bargained for . stitch : did anybody see what happened ? he was alone when we got there , but someone called 911 . phyllis : [ crying ]Summarize.[/INST]travis applied for and was denied a $ 20,000 bank loan for bar upkeep . cane wished katherine was around to give him advice on handling hilary . nikki overheard cane . they talked about katherine , and cane admitted he was having trouble having compassion for neil because he did n't understand why neil kept drinking again . nikki gave him some insight into what it was like to be an addict . jill and hilary bumped heads over hilary 's intention to introduce jill at the ceremony to dedicate a wing to katherine . devon defended hilary from jill 's insults . jack pulled rank and said he wanted hilary to make the introduction . jill walked off . phyllis accused hilary of antagonizing jill . jack took hilary 's side , and an irritated phyllis decided to get some air . phyllis looked suspicious when she saw the way hilary tossed her hair while talking to jack . phyllis went to the park . hilary thanked devon for standing up for her . jill warned bethany that she was just a distraction to billy and that billy was still in love with victoria . jill traded barbs with both nikki and esther . jill softened and admitted she missed living with esther and katherine . neil reached out to lily , but she was cold toward him and accused him of giving hilary something to wield over the family for the rest of their lives . nikki reminded neil that she 'd always be there if he needed her . neil eyed a glass of alcohol . victoria woke up on billy 's couch . johnny was feeling better . billy tenderly touched victoria 's hair , but she recoiled . billy suggested that they clear the air by talking about who they were sleeping with . although victoria said she did n't care , billy revealed that he was having a fling with a waitress . billy hoped victoria would open up next . victoria refused to volunteer anything . she snapped that she and billy had been in a good place , but now he 'd screwed it up . victoria stormed upstairs to get johnny .</s> | 17,239 |

[ scene_break ] theresa : you know you do n't -- you do n't have to fuss over me . jared : well , dr. russell said you might be dehydrated , so what would you like to drink ? theresa : i 'll take some water actually . thank you . jared : well , sip this , try to take in as much as you can . you know , you really had me worried . theresa : thanks . jared : you seem a bit warm . i 'm going to go get you a wet washcloth . theresa : ok . whitney : theresa ? honey , we heard what happened in the steam room . chad : you ok ? theresa : yeah , yeah , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . whitney : we also heard that jared and ethan got into it again over you ? does jared know that you slept with ethan ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i 've never been so embarrassed in my life . this is not what you think . this has never happened before . julian : that will be all , valerie . it 's -- it 's not like you caught me cheating , eve . you did break off our relationship . valerie : i am so sorry . julian told me you gave him back the engagement ring . eve : it does n't matter now . i 'm going . julian : eve , wait . do n't go . eve : i do n't want to hear your apologies , julian . julian : i 'm not offering an apology . eve : what did you say ? julian : what you walked in on just now was your fault , not mine . [ scene_break ] luis : you know , i sort of get where paloma 's coming from on this , but you -- you of all people -- you always wanted me to be with sheridan . pilar : things are different now , mijo . she 's married to chris . luis : she only married chris because she thought i was dead . pilar : the reasons do n't matter . the fact is , she 's committed to him . she 's told you that , right ? over and over again . and to raising his son , james , a boy she obviously adores . that 's -- she 's the only mother that boy has known . she 's not going to leave her family to be with you . luis : well , i 'm not saying that it 's going to be easy . paloma : try impossible , luis . why are you turning away from a great future with fancy ? she 's beautiful , smart , fearless , and most important , she 's crazy about you . luis : look , i care about fancy , too , ok ? paloma : no , no , no , no , no . we 're not talking about care here . you could love her . luis : well , not as long as there 's a chance that sheridan could come to her senses . what can i say ? my heart 's with sheridan , not fancy . [ scene_break ] fancy : you 're my aunt and you 're my grandmother . i love you both dearly . katherine : i wonder if you do . fancy : of course i do . i would n't be sticking my neck out here and trying to set things straight if i did n't have the utmost affection and respect for both of you . katherine : you said some very unkind and cruel words , fancy . fancy : i was trying to get your attention . i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . i just think you 've both had such terrible experiences with men in your pasts . you 're not the best judges of what 's right here . sheridan : where do you get off judging my mother -- your grandmother ? fancy : nobody 's judging . i 'm just reminding you of the difference between right and wrong . i am sure you do love martin , but you cost him another woman who loved him with her whole heart . you almost cost him the love and respect of his children , too . katherine : well , i 'm very grateful to know that they 're doing better . fancy : no thanks to you , i suspect . do you want to follow in your mother 's footsteps ? be the woman who did n't know when to back off ? who was so caught up in her own selfish needs , she did n't notice everyone else around her that she was hurting ? sheridan : no , of course not . but you misread the situation . i 'm not leaving chris for luis . fancy : well , then you 'd better work harder to convince luis . he does n't know which way is up because he senses your conflict . as long as he feels there is even a glimmer of hope for the two of you , he wo n't move on with anyone else . fancy : let him go , aunt sheridan . leave him alone . you keep saying chris is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with . sheridan : i love them . fancy : maybe you should reexamine your definition of the word . if you truly love chris and james , start acting that way .

[ scene_break ] paloma : luis , i 'm not sure you 've heard a word mama and i have said . luis : do you know what ? maybe it 's the other way around , little sister . paloma : do n't talk down to me , luis . we 're just trying to look out for you . luis : fine , then why do n't you just leave me alone , ok ? i love sheridan and nothing is gon na change that . paloma : but , luis , she 's married . m - a - r - r - i - e - d -- married . she 's not just dating him , on the rebound from you , ok ? she did n't come here and tell you that she was confused , that she wanted to play the field for a while . she 's married and she loves him . she has no intention of leaving chris . luis : is that right ? i would n't be so sure about that . in fact , when i 'm with sheridan , i can tell that she still loves me . pilar : aye , mijo , what you 're feeling is probably the old feelings you still have between you . luis : no , it 's more than that . listen , she 's miserable with chris . she still loves me . and as long as there 's a chance that she 's going to come back to me , i 'm not going anywhere . pilar : oh , luis . luis : yeah , and i 'll tell you something else . i do n't know how long it 's going to take , but you heard it here first . sheridan is going to come back to me . and you know what ? there is nothing that you two meddlers can do to stop that . paloma : luis , this is nuts . luis : and you know what ? yeah , do n't you have somewhere to be right now , young lady ? paloma : i 'm due at the station for my workout . luis : yeah . paloma : but this is not over . luis : yeah , somehow i figured that . paloma : luis , you 're my brother and i love you . all i want is for you to be happy . luis : well , i want the same thing , kid . paloma : but it 's not sheridan who will make you happy . it 's fancy . and i hope you realize that , before you lose her . [ scene_break ] fancy : do you know what i think ? i think the reason you hold on to luis the way you do , keep him dangling from a string , is all about your ego . katherine : oh , come on , fancy . fancy : well , maybe it 's not conscious , but it 's pretty obvious . you love the fact that a man as incredible as luis ca n't get over you . sheridan : honestly , i do n't ever think of it that way . i would never want to intentionally hurt luis . fancy : well , you are . and it 's not fair . you ca n't tell him one minute you 're over him and then the next kiss him . i 'm just trying to voice what nobody else is willing or able to say , sheridan . let him go . please , for all of our sakes , let him go forever . katherine : fancy , do n't you walk away . sheridan : it 's all right . she 's made her point . katherine : she should n't have said those things to you . sheridan : somebody had to . it 's true . i ca n't keep luis on a string . it is n't fair . katherine : you love him . can you tell me that you can honestly bear spending the rest of your life without him ?

'cause you 're -- you 're just as despicable as your father . maybe even more so because you pretended to be a decent person . you pretended that there was some decent human being under those -- those ugly crane trappings . julian : i pretended nothing . if i 'm not the man you want , you only have to look in the mirror to see the reason why . i loved you , eve . not only was i willing but eager to be the man of your dreams for the rest of my life . but you thought it was more important to go back to t.c . than be with a man who would 've laid down and died for you . you made me the man i am today . you must be very proud .

marlena : yeah , he always does . thank you for coming with him . looks like you literally took a bullet for him . brady : yeah . well , hey , you know , considering the way i treated you in high school , i figured i owed you one anyway . marlena : oh , i think the way that you treated your stepmother was completed age - appropriate . brady : no , you 've never treated me like anything other than a son . you 're my mom , and i love you . marlena : mm , i love you too . easy , easy , easy , easy , yeah . mmm . john : he 's all yours , abigail . kristen : lucky you . abigail : spare me , kristen . kristen : well , this has been one hell of a night , fairy - tale wedding meeting `` invasion of the body snatchers . `` abigail : i 'm sorry . do you think this is funny ? kristen : no , i do n't think this is funny . this is very sad . because i 've spent my life not just loving my father but trying to be like him , to be his favorite , dimera heir apparent . and tonight i have come face - to - face with the undeniable fact that the man i devoted my whole life to is -- as john so eloquently put -- a pathetic loser . chad : you are a traitorous bitch . john : shut up . kristen : abigail , good luck getting chad back . abigail : she 's right about everything , chad . chad : my father is not pathetic . abigail : no , it 's worse than that ; it 's sick . chad : do not talk about my father that way . abigail : chad , he is not your father . it 's my uncle steve , and i am getting both of you back . you 're both coming back to me . and i 'll do whatever it takes to get you to see that your children , thomas and charlotte , and me , we are all the famiglia that you will ever need . brady : hey , i want to tell you something . one night when dad did n't know where you were , he came pounding on kristen 's door , of course , and came in , started accusing kristen of , you know , knowing where you were and that she was covering for stefano and -- marlena : no , no , no , that was n't true . brady : well , dad knows that now , but at the time , it was interesting to me , because kristen did n't react the way i expected . i wanted to throw dad out of there , and she was the one that said , `` no , he has a right to be angry . he has a right to distrust me . he has a right to not believe what i 'm saying . `` marlena : i see . brady : i mean , she even said that if she knew where stefano was that she would turn him in just to get you home . marlena : mm , she did , huh ? brady : yeah . she also said to him that you and she despite all the history that you 've had that you were willing to let it go or make amends and -- for my sake anyway . marlena : and for mine . brady : and i -- i thank you for that . i just truly believe that she has seen how crazy her father was and how crazy her family was and in turn how crazy she was . and i know i push this subject on you a lot , and i 'm sorry about that , but i 'm really -- i 'm really hoping that you and my father can someday see kristen as the woman that i know she is now . marlena : how about one day at a time , shall we ?

nikki : you know , one minute jack is just fine with ji min . he does n't care that he 's taken over his father 's company . and then the next minute -- here , let me take your coat off . phyllis : thank you . nikki : he 's like a little boy who took his toys and went home because he did n't get his way . phyllis : you know what i do n't understand ? why would he want to terminate a partnership that benefits him ? i mean , this jabot / nvp tie - in -- that was a good deal . nikki : i do n't know . just ... sit down , put your feet up , take your shoes off . i would if i were you . phyllis : i 'm gon na sit down and put my feet up . i 'm not gon na take these shoes off . listen , these shoes are mandatory , laboratory - tested devices to prevent my feet from becoming blimps . i 'm keeping 'em on . nikki : understood . what does the doctor say these days ? phyllis : what does the doctor say ? the doctor says that my very healthy daughter just does n't wan na join the real world , that 's all . and i keep on telling her mommy is tired of waiting , but i guess she has her father 's stubborn streak . nikki : oh , my god . i just had a horrible thought . what if the baby has heard way too much and is refusing to be born into a world that includes jack abbott ? phyllis : here 's another thought . why do n't i just think of jack during labor and delivery . and that way i 'll be so angry , i wo n't feel any pain . how about that ? nikki : well , good luck with that . the man just puts me in pain thinking about him . excuse me . [ scene_break ] jack : well , thank you for insisting that i take the time to stop and have lunch . i had a little objectivity for dessert . sharon : are you confident that cutting off this product tie - in is the right thing to do ? jack : hey , i thought you would welcome this . you were as upset as i was that ji min was using photos you did not approve for jabot ads . sharon : well , my dealings with him are a separate issue than you breaking off a business relationship . jack : this is not just about fighting your battles . there are other reasons besides the photos for ending the tie - in . sharon : okay . fine . sharon : um , hold on . okay , i 'm gon na have to take this . jack : okay . sharon : thank you for lunch . jack : yeah . victor : could we have a minute ? jack : uh , sure . victor : have a seat , jack . let me put it very simply to you . i strongly disagree with your decision to pull nvp out from the tie - in with jabot . jack : nvp will be fine by itself . victor : i 'm worried about your partner . jack : my ex - partner . victor : why would you hurt a company that bears your father 's name simply because you disagree with this new owner ? [ scene_break ] victoria : why would paul even consider working for the winters if it compromises what he knows about you ? brad : michael only asked paul to talk to me after they saw me on the security tape at carmen 's apartment . victoria : and i suppose quitting now would only make michael suspicious . brad : paul knows he has to protect us . oh , i blame myself for being seen on that tape . all these years , i avoid a mistake like that . i do n't know where my mind was . victoria : it was n't a mistake . you ran an errand that coincided with the murder . our big problem is michael baldwin . he 's looking for murder suspects everywhere . and he 's using paul , who knows everything about you . brad : well , paul wo n't give him any information he should n't . he 's a professional . victoria : and he needs to protect himself . brad : yeah . enlightened self - preservation , that 's what we 're all counting on . victoria : you know , a lot of us could be facing legal problems if your real identity ever gets out there , but you could lose your life . brad : come here . [ scene_break ] paul : thank you . there you go . maybe your stomach will stop now . jt : thanks . paul : you know , i never should 've agreed to work for neil winters . jt : because ? paul : because i ca n't give information from one client to another client . and neil 's son could use at least some of the information i have on brad . paul : oh , great . that 's the third call i 've dodged from michael today . michael : paul , it 's michael again . i still need any information you have about brad carlton relevant to my client 's defense . call me . paul : and i ca n't talk to michael until i decide how i 'm gon na handle this . [ scene_break ] phyllis : i do n't understand jack 's motivation . remember , he turned us down when we first pitched this idea to jabot . and then when we establish ourselves on our own , he wants to run it . and you know what ? that 's another thing that makes me mad . jack is running our company ! nikki : will you please not get so worked up about it ? the baby is depending on you to remain calm . phyllis : so what ? what ? i 'm just a vessel making a human ? is that what i am ? nikki : well ... yeah . phyllis : all right , then i 'll put it out of my mind . nikki : on behalf of the entire newman family , i thank you . phyllis : you know what ? call me paranoid , but i can not help thinking that by terminating a potentially lucrative tie - in , jack , somehow in his mind , thinks he 's getting back at me . nikki : congratulations , you were able to keep that out of your mind for about four seconds . and yes , you are paranoid . because no sane person makes a business decision based on revenge , because then it 's no longer a business decision . phyllis : well , nikki , i would never accuse jack of being sane when it comes to his idea and his thoughts about nick and me being together . nikki : you need to calm down . sharon : hi , nikki , i 'm sorry to bother you . nikki : oh , hi . sharon : but noah said that he left his basketball uniform here so ... nikki : oh . sharon : oh , hi , phyllis . phyllis : hi , sharon . nikki : i guess , uh , i will go look for that . sit down . phyllis : you know , um , sharon ? i , uh ... i have to tell you that , um , this , uh , termination of the jabot / nvp tie - in is more than just a little upsetting to me . sharon : i see . phyllis : mm - hmm . especially when jack 's decision is the result of disagreements , uh , because you did n't like your promotional photos . sharon : phyllis , remember what you know about jack from having spent all that time with him before he made the decision to leave you ? phyllis : what 's that ? sharon : that jack makes decisions for his own reasons . and from my experience , his reasons are always good ones . [ scene_break ] victor : jack ... jack : thank you . victor : you have not asked me for advice about the tie - in . but as your friend , let me tell you that i understand your emotional attachment to a company that bares your father 's name and that is still partly managed by your sister . jack : but ? victor : you do n't own the company anymore . jack : victor , i do n't own the company . i do n't run it . but i do n't have to go along with their every decision . victor : and i understand that any new decision they make feels like a slap in your face , but it 's not mean to be that . jack : i do n't take ji min 's decisions personally . victor : jack , you run nvp now , more successfully than we would 've dreamt . stop looking over your shoulder at ji min . stop second - guessing the new owner of the company . it is n't your company anymore . [ scene_break ] victoria : i 've forced myself to quit worrying about paul . brad : i bow to your superior willpower . victoria : now i 'm worried that michael wo n't leave us alone no matter what paul tells him . brad : well , i 'm ready for michael 's inevitable visit . i put the report that i was dropping off at carmen 's in the files on the chance that michael subpoenas them . victoria : the conference call with granville global is also in the logs . so that 's a matter of record , too . brad : well , as long as michael leaves believing i have a legitimate excuse for being at carmen 's , we 'll be okay . [ scene_break ] jt : why not just tell just tell michael you have a conflict of interest and resign ? he 's a lawyer . he 'll understand that . paul : because he understands a conflict of interest . it 's like giving a tracking dog the scent . jt : okay , that was my first and last suggestion . paul : so it 's like i 'm up the proverbial creek without a paddle . which is a polite way of saying i 'm screwed . because if brad is found out ... all of his actions will be under a microscope . and not just his , ours and everybody else who saw him kill those two men . jt : which leaves you nothing to tell michael . paul : which leaves me absolutely nothing to tell michael . michael : paul ! i 've been calling you all day . paul : oh , you have ? well , look here , my phone 's off . sorry about that . i do n't mean to be rude , i 've got an appointment , so i 'll see you guys later . michael : sure . paul : so sorry about the phone . what was it you were calling me about ? michael : what was it i was calling you about ? do you remember that i asked you to find out why brad carlton was at carmen 's suite ? paul : he told the police it was routine business . i have n't been able to go over the details with him . michael : i have a high regard for you , paul , but i am a defense attorney in the middle of a murder trial where time is of the essence , and my chief investigator just told me that he was n't able to go over the details with a man who may have information that has the potential of clearing my client . maybe you can imagine the tension i 'm feeling . paul : why do n't we step out onto the patio ? and i will tell you why i ca n't talk to brad for you . michael : i 'm sorry , `` ca n't ? `` that 's with a `` t ? `` paul : that 's right -- can not talk to brad . michael : well , you 've saved me the expense of a double espresso , because i do n't need caffeine for you to have my full attention . [ scene_break ] brad : when michael starts asking questions , with or without a subpoena , do n't volunteer anything . keep it short and sweet . victoria : i know . i know the procedure . i understand . but why are you -- why are you talking as if we decided to cooperate without being subpoenaed ? brad : because we 're innocent . stonewall , and they 'll presume guilt . victoria : but why are you telling me the obvious ? i already know . i know not to give michael anything he does n't already have . brad : that 's all i 'm saying . victoria : yeah , but that 's not all i 'm hearing . if no one else knows that you went to see carmen because you were worried what she knew about your past , then we 're safe . but if someone else knows ... brad : paul knows . he saw right through our cover . now if i did n't confirm his suspicions , he 'd be treating me like a murder suspect . paul was there when carmen may have heard you and me through the intercom . he understands the problem . victoria : but if paul figured out that you went to see carmen for personal reasons , somebody else might . brad : yeah . victoria : and by somebody i mean michael . brad : and paul 's starting out knowing about my past . victoria : and having witnessed the killings in parma and a lot of other things . brad : so it 's not a huge leap for him to make . michael wo n't make that connection , because he 's not starting out with the same information . victoria : yeah .

[ scene_break ] victor : as far as i know , mr. kim is an honest and capable executive . he 's interested in the success of his company . i have n't known him for long , but i do n't doubt his ability . jack : i do n't doubt his ability either . victor : what 's the problem ? he thinks that a tie - in between nvp and jabot will make his company more successful . what 's the problem with that ? jack : i do n't want the success of his company dependant on nvp or me . victor : even if it would be to your benefit ? jack : victor , i 've worked with this man for awhile now . he wants more control than i 'm willing to give him . i do not work that way . [ scene_break ] nikki : here you go . sharon : thank you so much . i will see you later . phyllis : ca n't wait . nikki : listen , i hate to beat a dead horse , but those photos that you hated were really very good . sharon : oh , well , thank you , nikki . you know , i 'm sorry , i just , um ... i agree with jack . phyllis : surprise . sharon : what ? phyllis : what ? huh ? what ? nikki : what she said was , uh , as a co - founder of a very successful company , she and i know how best to market it . phyllis : that 's what i said . sharon : well , i 'm sure that you do . um , but , you know , it 's just ... it 's not your opinion that the public sees . it 's me -- it 's my image . phyllis : hmm , you know , nikki , maybe we should get a new spokesperson . i mean , i like that idea . think of all the new publicity we 'll be generating by a new ad campaign , not to mention , all the great pr we 'd get by introducing someone new and fresh . nikki : phyllis , let 's not go down that road right now . phyllis : right , right , right , i do n't wan na create a scene . it would be bad for the baby . sharon : no , it 's because you do n't have the power to make that decision . jack was the one that hired me , not you . phyllis : yeah , `` hire you . `` that 's not all he did . victoria : hello ! nikki : oh , victoria , i was n't expecting you so soon . victoria : yeah , i had to reschedule a meeting because drucilla did n't turn in a report that i needed . sharon : well , putting work on the backburner because your son has been arrested -- it makes sense to me . victoria : no disagreement from me . i 'm just stating a fact . you know , this homicide is becoming a priority for a lot of people , including myself . nikki : what ? sharon : why ? victoria : uh , including brad and myself . um , the day that carmen was murdered , brad took some paperwork to carmen 's hotel suite . phyllis : wow , so he saw her before she was killed ? victoria : no , she was n't home when he got there . nikki : well , then what does this case have to do with you ? victoria : the police have security video of brad , as big as life , standing outside of her door around the same time she died . nikki : you 're kidding . sharon : which automatically makes him a suspect . victoria : a person of interest . sharon : but he can explain what he was doing there ? nikki : oh , come on , when was the last time michael baldwin accepted a simple explanation for anything ? phyllis : that 's true . he 'll keep digging . nikki : honey , i am so sorry you 're mixed up in this . victoria : i know , mom , me , too . i know , it 's just ... it 's what happens when you 're in the wrong spot on the wrong day . and you know , what 's worse for me , is that brad feels bad , thinking that if he had connected with her , maybe her schedule would 've changed -- that she would n't have gone where she went , and maybe she 'd still be alive right now . phyllis : yeah , but if it was premeditated , it would n't have mattered anyway . and of course , anybody who knows dru , knows that she 's the queen of premeditation . victoria : oh , i agree . but devon ? nikki : devon has always seemed like a sweetie pie . it 's hard to imagine he would even consider killing anybody . phyllis : yeah , but this thing -- it fit dru 's personality like a glove . sharon : oh , come on . dru is no more capable of murder than any one of us in this room . nikki : she was very open about her hatred for carmen . victoria : and she violated a protective order more than once . sharon : and none of that means that she murdered anyone . phyllis : but if she did do it , she 's worse than a murderer for letting her son take the rap . sharon : boy , i feel like i 've entered night of the living lynch mob . nikki : sharon , we 're not saying that drucilla killed carmen . we 're simply saying that she seems infinitely more capable of murder than her son does . phyllis : yeah , and that 's obvious to anyone with eyes and ears . sharon : uh , are you trying to get to me ? phyllis : no . no . i mean , well , i do n't have to try . i do that by getting up in the morning . victoria : okay , you know what ? that 's enough . nikki : it is enough , phyllis . you 're not helping . phyllis : what ? okay , i take it back . sharon : look , i know that there 's , um , no love lost between any of you and dru . nikki : i have no issues with her . i can be objective . victoria : these are just opinions , sharon . sharon : no , no , i accept that . and i would like to enter this opinion -- the fact that her son was arrested for murder and she has n't tried to trade places with him , is proof enough to me that she 's innocent . because regardless of whatever her mistakes are , she is dedicated to those kids , and she would never let one of them take the fall for something that she did . i 'm also of the opinion that if you have had to watch your son go to prison , or maybe verily survive a trial , or watch your husband work above the law , i 'd think you 'd be reluctant to throw around premature guilty verdicts . [ scene_break ] ashley : why was n't i consulted about something so important ? ji min : your brother pulled the plug on the tie - in , i did n't . it 's his decision . ashley : i know it was his decision , ji min . i 'm aware of the story between the two of you . i 'm trying to understand the rationale behind such a ridiculous move . is this a bluff ? ji min : you 'll have to talk to jack . ashley : i 'm talking to you . jabot was counting on the profits from this tie - in to help us recover from the contamination scare . i mean , what was he thinking ? ji min : i ca n't say . ashley : you ca n't , or you wo n't ? ji min : ashley , please , you 're gon na have to talk to your brother . i think it 's best if it comes from him . [ scene_break ] victor : jack , when you do n't provide a clear rationale , it seems that you stick by decisions simply because you made it , not because it is right . jack : i told you , ji min wants more control of this joint venture than i 'm willing to give him . victor : would you like me to talk to him about a more even - handed approach ? jack : no . i do n't mean -- you 're welcome to talk to kim . i 've just covered this ground with him many times . he 's not willing to compromise . victor : all right , have it your way . a tie - in with jabot would be a good thing for everyone concerned . you must know , though , that your decision will only benefit newman enterprises . because from now on nvp will carry nothing but newman cosmetics . jack : that 's right . thank you , victor . victor : thank you . i forgot something . um ... [ scene_break ] michael : what could possibly make you think you could n't interview brad carlton ? paul : i ca n't interview him on your behalf because of a conflict of interest . i 'm on retainer for newman , which was not a problem when i started working for you , but it became one when brad stepped in front of that security camera . i ca n't investigate a newman board member for anyone outside the company , michael . michael : asking brad carlton what he was doing outside of carmen mesta 's suite on a certain day at a certain time is n't exactly an investigation . paul : if i ask him anything on your behalf , whether you call it an investigation or merely chitchat , it 's automatically a conflict of interest for me . so if you wan na know what brad was doing outside carmen mesta 's hotel suite at a given time on a given day , you 're gon na have to ask him yourself . [ scene_break ] [ jack answers his cell phone ] jack : yeah ? ji min : your sister is on her way to see you , predictably angry at you . jack : i wanted to tell her myself . ji min : well , she did n't hear it from me , but she definitely heard it . jack : okay , what did you tell her ? ji min : i told her to talk to you . jack : oh , maybe this is a good thing . maybe a genuine display of anger is just what victor needs to believe that i have nothing to do with jabot cosmetics . ji min : well , genuine anger is exactly what you 're about to get .

[ scene_break ] victor : i care to tell you , i am really surprised that jack did not back away from his decision . nikki : did you expect him to ? victor : i do n't know what i expected . not even dredging their family history made him reconsider . nikki : so what does that mean ? you think you were wrong to be suspicious of him ? victor : there 's always reason to be suspicious of jack abbott . nikki : yeah , no kidding . victor : but maybe there is no secret ownership . maybe there 's no front , no shell corporation . maybe ji min really owns the company , and jack 's antipathy toward him is real . nikki : even so , why kill a deal that 's good for both companies ? victor : why , indeed . [ scene_break ] jack : because it has to appear i have cut all my ties with jabot . at least for now . but this homicide investigation has exposed a payout to carmen from my personal account . so far , the da buys my story that it was payment for work carmen did for nvp i can not have michael baldwin digging around and linking me to jabot . if he finds out it was actually incentive money for her to sign with house of kim , the questions will never stop . ji min : which is more scrutiny than is good for the company or for jack . jack : i had no choice , sis . i know this tie - in has been good for jabot . it has also been good for nvp i can not risk losing everything because of the fallout from this murder investigation . ashley : you 're smart to be careful . too many people have told me how surprised they are at how chummy the two of you are . jack : then you understand my caution ? ashley : what do we do ? what do we do about jabot 's loss of sales , of market share , of profit ? jack : we may have to sacrifice short - term profit in favor of long - term survival . ji min : that sounds positively un - american .

[ scene_break ] brad : i do n't think that baldwin 's has any interest in putting away an innocent man . on the other hand , he does have to protect his client . sharon : by making as many people as possible look like suspects . brad : my little errand helps him with that . victoria : oh ... am i interrupting ? sharon : no , i was just leaving . good luck . brad : thanks . victoria : good luck ? with what ? brad : security camera evidence . i was surprised sharon knew about it . victoria : well , if people learn it from you or me , instead of hearing it on the news , we 'll look like we have nothing to hide . brad : yeah , well i like your reasoning . victoria : by the way , i ran into michael baldwin . and i was the picture of cooperation . it kinda surprised me , though , that he did n't press me on anything . he did n't challenge anything i said . brad : well , i was the supermodel of cooperation , and he did press me . but i think we 're covered . victoria : well , i guess we 'll know soon enough whether michael 's finished digging . [ scene_break ] michael : i worry that brad and victoria went out of their way to accommodate me . there was no hesitation at all on their part . phyllis : note to self , cooperating with michael makes him suspicious . michael : and they said the same things in the same way . they almost used the same phrasing , like they 're rehearsing a play . if brad 's visit to carmen 's suite were perfectly legit , why would they feel the need to rehearse his story ? [ scene_break ] paul : look ... brad killed those men because he thought they were a threat . they had already murdered his family . jt : i 'm not saying he was n't justified . i 'm asking who -- who could resume life after doing something like that ? with no sign that it even fazed him . come on , paul , you got ta be thinking what i 'm thinking . paul : that if brad believed that carmen was posing the same threat , that he would feel justified in disposing of her , too . jt : yes , and it would n't show in his behavior . paul : look ... we could 've reported brad 's justifiable homicides , but it would 've put innocent people at risk . all of us , including victoria , and anyone else in that church who saw brad kill those men , became an accessory after the fact . i do n't like it . but i would make the same decision . and i guess what we have to do now is satisfy ourselves , if no one else , that we are not helping brad cover a third homicide , one that is not justifiable .

sharon : why ? victoria : uh , including brad and myself . um , the day that carmen was murdered , brad took some paperwork to carmen 's hotel suite . phyllis : wow , so he saw her before she was killed ? victoria : no , she was n't home when he got there . nikki : well , then what does this case have to do with you ? victoria : the police have security video of brad , as big as life , standing outside of her door around the same time she died . nikki : you 're kidding . sharon : which automatically makes him a suspect . victoria : a person of interest . sharon : but he can explain what he was doing there ? nikki : oh , come on , when was the last time michael baldwin accepted a simple explanation for anything ? phyllis : that 's true . he 'll keep digging . nikki : honey , i am so sorry you 're mixed up in this . victoria : i know , mom , me , too . i know , it 's just ... it 's what happens when you 're in the wrong spot on the wrong day . and you know , what 's worse for me , is that brad feels bad , thinking that if he had connected with her , maybe her schedule would 've changed -- that she would n't have gone where she went , and maybe she 'd still be alive right now . phyllis : yeah , but if it was premeditated , it would n't have mattered anyway . and of course , anybody who knows dru , knows that she 's the queen of premeditation . victoria : oh , i agree . but devon ? nikki : devon has always seemed like a sweetie pie . it 's hard to imagine he would even consider killing anybody . phyllis : yeah , but this thing -- it fit dru 's personality like a glove . sharon : oh , come on . dru is no more capable of murder than any one of us in this room . nikki : she was very open about her hatred for carmen . victoria : and she violated a protective order more than once . sharon : and none of that means that she murdered anyone . phyllis : but if she did do it , she 's worse than a murderer for letting her son take the rap . sharon : boy , i feel like i 've entered night of the living lynch mob . nikki : sharon , we 're not saying that drucilla killed carmen . we 're simply saying that she seems infinitely more capable of murder than her son does . phyllis : yeah , and that 's obvious to anyone with eyes and ears . sharon : uh , are you trying to get to me ? phyllis : no . no . i mean , well , i do n't have to try . i do that by getting up in the morning . victoria : okay , you know what ? that 's enough . nikki : it is enough , phyllis . you 're not helping . phyllis : what ? okay , i take it back . sharon : look , i know that there 's , um , no love lost between any of you and dru . nikki : i have no issues with her . i can be objective . victoria : these are just opinions , sharon . sharon : no , no , i accept that . and i would like to enter this opinion -- the fact that her son was arrested for murder and she has n't tried to trade places with him , is proof enough to me that she 's innocent . because regardless of whatever her mistakes are , she is dedicated to those kids , and she would never let one of them take the fall for something that she did . i 'm also of the opinion that if you have had to watch your son go to prison , or maybe verily survive a trial , or watch your husband work above the law , i 'd think you 'd be reluctant to throw around premature guilty verdicts . [ scene_break ] ashley : why was n't i consulted about something so important ? ji min : your brother pulled the plug on the tie - in , i did n't . it 's his decision . ashley : i know it was his decision , ji min . i 'm aware of the story between the two of you . i 'm trying to understand the rationale behind such a ridiculous move . is this a bluff ? ji min : you 'll have to talk to jack . ashley : i 'm talking to you . jabot was counting on the profits from this tie - in to help us recover from the contamination scare . i mean , what was he thinking ? ji min : i ca n't say . ashley : you ca n't , or you wo n't ? ji min : ashley , please , you 're gon na have to talk to your brother . i think it 's best if it comes from him . [ scene_break ] victor : jack , when you do n't provide a clear rationale , it seems that you stick by decisions simply because you made it , not because it is right . jack : i told you , ji min wants more control of this joint venture than i 'm willing to give him . victor : would you like me to talk to him about a more even - handed approach ? jack : no . i do n't mean -- you 're welcome to talk to kim . i 've just covered this ground with him many times . he 's not willing to compromise . victor : all right , have it your way . a tie - in with jabot would be a good thing for everyone concerned . you must know , though , that your decision will only benefit newman enterprises . because from now on nvp will carry nothing but newman cosmetics . jack : that 's right . thank you , victor . victor : thank you . i forgot something . um ... [ scene_break ] michael : what could possibly make you think you could n't interview brad carlton ? paul : i ca n't interview him on your behalf because of a conflict of interest . i 'm on retainer for newman , which was not a problem when i started working for you , but it became one when brad stepped in front of that security camera . i ca n't investigate a newman board member for anyone outside the company , michael . michael : asking brad carlton what he was doing outside of carmen mesta 's suite on a certain day at a certain time is n't exactly an investigation . paul : if i ask him anything on your behalf , whether you call it an investigation or merely chitchat , it 's automatically a conflict of interest for me . so if you wan na know what brad was doing outside carmen mesta 's hotel suite at a given time on a given day , you 're gon na have to ask him yourself . [ scene_break ] [ jack answers his cell phone ] jack : yeah ? ji min : your sister is on her way to see you , predictably angry at you . jack : i wanted to tell her myself . ji min : well , she did n't hear it from me , but she definitely heard it . jack : okay , what did you tell her ? ji min : i told her to talk to you . jack : oh , maybe this is a good thing . maybe a genuine display of anger is just what victor needs to believe that i have nothing to do with jabot cosmetics . ji min : well , genuine anger is exactly what you 're about to get . [ jack hangs up his phone ] victor : there you are . jack : uh , you 'll everything sent to you , so they can get started right away . sure . sorry . victor : jack , i did n't mean to interrupt . i meant to give something to you but i could n't find the damn things , so here we are . jack : antique cufflinks . um ... thank you . victor : your father gave those to me . i know that the loss of jabot cosmetics is very hard for you , jack . i thought this would be compensation , you know ? jabot cosmetics was testament to father 's business acumen . those ... were a testament to his generosity . jack : thank you . thank you . i - i , uh ... that means a lot to me , as does your generosity . victor : you wear those in good health . [ scene_break ] jt : so how 'd it go with michael ? paul : i thought you left . jt : i sat in the car and returned phone calls until i saw him leave . i had to -- i had to see how my mentor handled an impossible situation . paul : well , i do n't have anything to teach you on this one . i claimed conflict of interest and michael became suspicious as i thought he would . he 'll question brad himself . jt : well , you acted professionally . you can feel good about that . paul : oh , why , thank you , grasshopper , but good is not what i feel right now .. worry is what i feel . worry and fear . jt : you 're afraid brad will crack ? i do n't see that happening . or are you afraid brad wo n't crack and he 'll get away with something else ? paul : what does that mean ? jt : look , we watched him kill two men and walk away as if it never happened . [ scene_break ] brad : thanks . michael : brad ! brad , you got a minute ? brad : for you , mike , two minutes . coffee ? michael : please . uh ... the district attorney provided me with a recording from a security camera that was focused on the area outside of carmen mesta 's suite . uh , the time code on the recording included her approximate time of death . brad : yeah , i know . i was on it . talk about being in the wrong place on the wrong day , huh ? i completely understand why the da had to question me . michael : thank you . uh , did you have an appointment with carmen ? brad : mnh - mnh . brad : i told mr. bardwell , they were in my coat pocket . there were just a few pages . michael : seems it would 've been easier for you to fax or e - mail the pages . brad : well , i wanted to clarify a few things . listen , in retrospect , i wish i had faxed them . of course , then i would n't have the pleasure of your company , would i ? michael : do you often get to play errand boy ? brad : i do n't stand on ceremony , mike , never have . if a job needs to be done , i do it . we were low on staff . i knew i 'd be in the neighborhood , so i decided to bring the papers by myself on my way home . michael : did you look for carmen elsewhere ? brad : no . michael : why not ? brad : why would i ? michael : well , i thought you wanted to discuss the proposal first thing in the morning ? brad : well , it would 've been nice for her to be able to digest the material , but i did n't know where else to find her , and vicki and i had plans that night . i regret that i did n't look for her , not because i would 've been successful , but if i had located her that night , things may have turned out differently . [ scene_break ] jack : sharon ? sharon : oh , hi , i 'm sorry , i did n't see you there . i guess i 'm just blind with anger . jack : because ? sharon : um , well , i had to stop by the ranch to pick up something that noah left there and i could n't avoid the pregnant lady . then she and nikki and victoria all ganged up on me . i 'm sure when that baby is born , she 'll join the pack of she - wolves . jack : you gon na be able to bury the hatchet ? sharon : you know , i 've been thinking a lot about that . jack : and ? sharon : i , uh , i just ca n't decide if i should bury it in phyllis ' skull or her back or her chest . but i 'm open to suggestions .

[ scene_break ] victor : i care to tell you , i am really surprised that jack did not back away from his decision . nikki : did you expect him to ? victor : i do n't know what i expected . not even dredging their family history made him reconsider . nikki : so what does that mean ? you think you were wrong to be suspicious of him ? victor : there 's always reason to be suspicious of jack abbott . nikki : yeah , no kidding . victor : but maybe there is no secret ownership . maybe there 's no front , no shell corporation . maybe ji min really owns the company , and jack 's antipathy toward him is real . nikki : even so , why kill a deal that 's good for both companies ? victor : why , indeed . [ scene_break ] jack : because it has to appear i have cut all my ties with jabot . at least for now . but this homicide investigation has exposed a payout to carmen from my personal account . so far , the da buys my story that it was payment for work carmen did for nvp i can not have michael baldwin digging around and linking me to jabot . if he finds out it was actually incentive money for her to sign with house of kim , the questions will never stop . ji min : which is more scrutiny than is good for the company or for jack . jack : i had no choice , sis . i know this tie - in has been good for jabot . it has also been good for nvp i can not risk losing everything because of the fallout from this murder investigation . ashley : you 're smart to be careful . too many people have told me how surprised they are at how chummy the two of you are . jack : then you understand my caution ? ashley : what do we do ? what do we do about jabot 's loss of sales , of market share , of profit ? jack : we may have to sacrifice short - term profit in favor of long - term survival . ji min : that sounds positively un - american .

[ scene_break ] michael : i worry that brad and victoria went out of their way to accommodate me . there was no hesitation at all on their part . phyllis : note to self , cooperating with michael makes him suspicious . michael : and they said the same things in the same way . they almost used the same phrasing , like they 're rehearsing a play . if brad 's visit to carmen 's suite were perfectly legit , why would they feel the need to rehearse his story ?

it 's not very smart , scott . abby : no one drags me anywhere , and i am not his girlfriend . zack : hey . uhp , uhp , uhp ! you can shelve any heroics you 're planning back there . we do n't want abby to get caught in any crossfire . abby : come on , you locked me in a storage unit . you left me there to rot ! stop acting like you 're out to protect me . zack : do you really think i would have left you there ? abby : i know you would have . zack : oh , come on . that 's not my style . once i was a safe distance away , i would have called 911 , sent them to rescue you . i mean , abby , i do have a conscience . scott : that was never gon na happen even if i had n't been there . zack : oh , my god . shut up , scott . i have a gun . abby . abby . look at me . look at us . we are obviously fated to be together . why else would we get a second chance like this ? scott : hey ! if she did n't make it clear enough earlier , abby wants -- abby : i can speak for myself . scott : good . tell him how you feel . abby : like i may need to reconsider things . zack : oops . nick : it was great seeing both of you . if you hear anything about abby , will you text me ? ashley : yeah , of course . nick : thanks . chelsea : uh , hi , guys . you left before we could , um , finish our discussion . nick : yeah , it felt pretty finished to me . chelsea : no . not really . uh , but , you know what , i do n't want to bore ashley and ravi with this , so why do n't we take it to the patio ? nick : no , i said everything i need to say . i did n't leave anything out . you , on the other hand , tend to leave a lot of stuff out , like crucial stuff . chelsea : not particularly crucial . none of that was really crucial . nick : chelsea . ashley : what is it ? chelsea : is there a problem ? ravi : uh ... ashley : yeah , is there ? ravi : are you the girl from `` the hilary hour ? `` nick : oh , the one that conned the bride . yeah , that 's her . you nailed it . chelsea : what ? what ? ! yes , it 's me ! it 's me ! the new scandal queen from `` the hilary hour , `` everybody ! in person ! in public ! who wants a selfie , huh ? let 's do it right now ! who wants a sel -- [ sighs ] forget it . dina : please tell me we 're done . dr. burg : not yet , almost there . we 're making excellent progress . jack : mother , you 've answered every question correctly . just go a little bit longer , we 'll make it to the end , all right ? dina : well , if you insist . dr. burg : mrs. mergeron . i want you to listen to this list . baseball ... stapler ... hat . dina : okay . dr. burg : now please repeat it . dina : baseball ... stapler ... and ... uh ... oh , yes . `` does anyone still a hat ? `` [ chuckles ] dr. burg : now i 'd like you to count backwards from 100 by sevens . dina : by sevens ? uh , 100 ... 90 ... uh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , doctor , but , uh , your little number game , it just reminds me of my stock portfolio , and by the way , son , how 's the dow jones this morning ? dr. burg : mrs. mergeron , please , focus on the test . dina : well , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , doctor , but , uh ... the only numbers currently on my mind have dollar signs attached to them . dr. burg : now ... remember those three objects that i just told you a moment ago ? please repeat them again . jack : mother , you can do this . try and remember -- dr. burg : please , mr . abbott . it 's important that your mother answer this on her own . dina : damn it ! jack : i think this is the perfect time for a little break . victor : neil , you 've made your position perfectly clear , but victoria is now coo . i trust her decision - making powers 100 % , and i 've given her the authority to deal with sensitive issues that we 're confronting right now . victoria : i respect your point of view , neil . that 's why i hired you and your company to come and work for us , but there was no halfway approach to this . it was a tough decision to be made , and i had to make it . i hope you can understand and respect that . neil : of course i do . i have a lot of respect for you and your company , and ultimately , it 's your company and it 's not mine . you have final say in everything . but the fact remains -- abby 's still missing , and deflecting blame , i 'm worried that 's gon na backfire on us . victor : i 'm doing everything i can . i 'm sparing no expense to find abby . but i will not allow them to let my other employees of my company go down the drain . neil : and when she returns ... victor : then people will attribute it to her youth , to her inexperience . she has been on the brink before . she 's always come back . she 's a survivor . victoria : she is . i know she 's gon na be fine , dad . abby will just be fine . i know it . [ cellphone rings ] victor : have you found my daughter ? scott : why are you saying all these things to him ? how can you even considering running off with this sleazebag ? zack : are you ? considering ? because i 'll be honest with you , that stuff that you said back at the storage unit ... that really packed a punch . so why the sudden 180 ? abby : it was n't so sudden at all . being trapped in that dark , cramped cubicle -- no food , no water , no heat , no chance for rescue ? it made re - evaluate my whole life . i mean , all of those things that you said to me about my family , about how they do n't love me , they do n't care about me ... scott : it was total garbage . zack : shh . abby : no . there was sincerity in that . i mean , despite all of their money and their power , no one came to rescue me . they do n't care about me . they probably do n't even know that i 'm missing . and as awful as that is to admit , it 's the truth . and it all became clear to me in that cell , and it also became clear that ... i really did love you . when i look deep within myself , i know that i still -- i still do love you , and i know that you love me , too . zack : then let 's do what we should have done a long time ago . let 's run away together . abby : yeah . zack : i promise , you will never look back on that town or that so - called family of yours . how can they be so blind and stupid not to see what an incredible woman there is standing right in front of me ? shall we begin this next adventure ? abby : what are we waiting for ? let 's do it . zack : oh ! there 's just one quick thing i need to take care of . you . abby : oh ! wait . no , look . if you want me to come with you , you can not kill scott , okay ? zack : abby ... abby : look , i can forgive you for a lot of things , but killing scott is n't one of them . look , if you want me , he stays alive . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . chelsea : [ exhales sharply ] [ door slams ] i still ca n't believe it . nick : what , your 15 minutes ? chelsea : okay , can you please just , like , not ? nick : sorry . it 's hard to resist . chelsea : it took ravi and everyone at crimson lights , what , like , three seconds to recognize me from that stupid show ! nick : what did you think was gon na happen ? this is the digital age . chelsea : this could ruin my whole business . nick : i think you need to worry about faith 's reaction right now , not your business . chelsea : oh , man ! faith . oh , shoot ! she 's gon na be so upset . okay , well , we can talk to her . we can smooth this over , right ? i mean , she 's a newman . this is n't the worst controversy she 's had to face -- no offense . nick : i do n't take any comfort knowing that what little time my daughter spent on this earth she has been bombarded with controversy . chelsea : fair . i know . okay . sorry . nick : frankly , i 'm more worried about what her perception of me is gon na be after this underground fiasco . chelsea : wait , i do n't understand . what are you talking about ? nick : the insurance company called . they 're not paying a dime . chelsea : why ? what do you mean ? nick : they think i did it . chelsea : what ? ! nick : and this was after the woman i 'm living with was outed on national tv as a con artist . chelsea : okay , that 's not particularly fair . i highly doubt that the two are related . nick : well , in an insurance investigator 's eyes , it ca n't possibly help . chelsea , i could go to prison for arson , and you could get locked up for being a con artist . i mean , if there 's a silver lining to this , i guess , you know , we could share a prison yard . victor : an entire security team looking for abby and scott , following every lead . meanwhile , they 're reporting they have nothing that i do n't already know . victoria : scott 's experienced and he 's resourceful , so if they 're together , they 'll be all right . victor : until something concrete lands on my desk , i have company business to attend to , and i would like to do it alone , if you do n't mind , okay ? neil : okay . victor , we 'll confer again before the end of the day . victor : i appreciate it , neil . neil : thanks . [ clears throat ] victoria : neil . neil : yeah . victoria : please do n't take this the wrong way , but i would really prefer it if you did n't question my decisions , especially in front of my dad . neil : you hired me and my company to help you over some major pr hurdles . that involves me expressing my opinions . you do n't have to like them , you do n't have to act accordingly , but i 'm not gon na keep my mouth shut just in case you do n't want to hear what i have to say . that 's -- that 's not me . that 's not my style . abby 's still missing . someone needed to speak up for her . victoria : not if it involves you undermining my position in front of my father . neil : listen to me . this is me . remember me ? i 'm very aware of who the boss is , and i 'm very grateful for this job . so you do n't have to come at me so hard just to prove your point . and i always want you to remember ... i 'm on your squad , i 'm on your team , okay ? victoria : wait a second . i got a real wake - up call last week when my son was pulled out of burning building , so i know how precious life can be . i 'm not trying to be hard and unfeeling . i 'm just trying to do my job here . no one would bat an eye if it was a man making these tough choices . i can be concerned and compassionate and smart and practical . and no matter what my job requires of me on a day - to - day basis , i 'm done being stepped on , all right ? so , yes , as a very good friend and colleague , i 'm asking you to kindly respect that , or get out of my way . dr. burg : shall we resume ? jack : yes . dina : anything to end this . dr. burg : so , let 's start with the those three objects i gave you . can you repeat them ? dina : i can't . i 'm too worried about abby . dr. burg : abby ? jack : her granddaughter . dina : she 's gone missing , and the police are involved , and it 's very , very distressing . dr. burg : okay , i will consider all factors when i score your test . dina : whatever you like . dr. burg : so , we 're almost done , i promise . dina : good . dr. burg : just one final thing . i 'd like you to draw a clock showing that the time is 9 : 00 . dina : you 're joking , are n't you ? do n't you have a watch ? well , there it is ! i see it ! dr. burg : [ chuckles ] dina : what , no crayons ? so now you want to test my artistic ability ? dr. burg : not at all . dina : well , what kind of clock would you like me to draw ? how about an antique swiss cuckoo variety ? dr. burg : just a simple clock face with all the numbers . dina : [ sighs ] what ridiculous time did you say ? jack : you know what , that 's enough . that 's enough . thank you , doctor , very much . thank you . dr. burg : mr. abbott , i -- jack : my mother 's been put through quite a lot . i 'm sure she 's tired right now . i thought this was a good idea . apparently , i was mistaken . dr. burg : i understand , but i really think you should -- jack : thank you , doctor . thank you very much . thank you . have a good day . dr. burg : okay . dina : [ exhales sharply ] oh , i 'm so glad you got rid of that bossy old man . jack : mother , forget the test . right now , you just have to take some time and calm your nerves . dina : oh , that would be heavenly . jack : i guarantee you ... everything is gon na be fantastic from here on out , okay ? dina : oh , thank you , darling . thank you . abby : look , why do n't we just leave ? right now . we can go . we can leave everything behind , including scott . i mean , he 's nothing to us . zack : while i do love your kind heart , abby , this guy does n't know when to quit . if i let him walk out of here , he 's likely to make it his life 's mission to track me down . abby : i have a ton of money . he could look forever and he will never find us . i mean , we could live in exclusive luxury . he could look for 100 years , and he wo n't even come close ! look at the poor guy . we 've humiliated him enough already . zack : [ laughs ] i mean , this has got to be killing you . think about all the time you 've wasted lusting after her . for what ? you 're never gon na have her . hold it . back up . what am i missing ? abby : what are you talking about ? what do you mean , missing ? zack : oh , do n't insult me . i saw that little moment between you two . what is going on ? abby : you , uh , think that scott and i ... ? no , he is repulsive . how could you even fathom -- zack : what , protest more than already have ? it 's classic overkill . it 's basically a confession . abby : to what ? zack : sex . something i know way more about than the two of you combined . i mean , it is my business after all , right ? see , i 'm an expert in non - verbal communication , picking up on cues that tell the naked truth . they never lie . so , tell me . did you two have sex ? neil : vicki , i 've always considered you a close personal friend . i know exactly what you 've been going through , and i know that it has n't been easy for you . victoria : do n't do that . the sympathy thing . i do n't need it . that 's not what i need because there 's no one to blame here but me , all right ? i took a long look at myself , and i do n't even recognize that woman . i spent so much time chasing after billy , trying to win him back , i did n't even see that he was literally poisoning me and my company . he did n't mean to , but i let it happen . so i 'm never giving up my power for anyone ever again . neil : your strength is beautiful . and i like that it 's back . i do . it 's inspiring . victoria : so why should i put a cap on it ? neil : the answer is back there . think about what his blind , unchecked power has lost him . your mother -- she 's not really his wife anymore , and nick disowned him . victoria : i 'm not my father . neil : not yet . all i 'm saying ... be careful what you wish for . jack : hey . anything ? ashley : no . jack : all i know is what paul told us . you heard that . dina : well , i know that abby is a spitfire . jack : no argument there . dina : and i know in my heart of hearts your daughter , my granddaughter ... will be home soon , safe and sound . ashley : i hope so . how did your doctor visit go ? dina : oh ! terribly . you know , the only problem with a house call is the fact that there 's nowhere to flee when you realize it 's been a terrible mistake . ashley : what happened with the doctor ? jack : oh , mother was fine . we just found this dr . burg tiresome and pushy . ashley : i thought he was supposed to be the very best elder care specialist ... jack : you did n't experience him , ash . ashley : okay , and the test ? jack : mother did n't finish the cognitive exam . ashley : i thought that was the whole point . jack : the specialist had her worried and frustrated and confused , and i did n't think the results would be of any worth . ashley : jack , did she answer the questions ? jack : yes , she did . most of them . she 's lost a little memory . who has n't ? you expect her to be razor - sharp at that age ? ashley : what 's this ? jack : oh , that 's nothing . give me that . ashley : no , is it part of the test ? jack : the doctor asked her to draw a clock at 9 : 00 . come on . give it to me . here . ashley : did you -- did you look at this ? jack : yes , i saw it . ashley : no , i do n't think you did . you need to look at this . this is much more than somebody not finishing something , jackie . jack , we have got to face this . i mean , something is very , very wrong . chelsea : no court is gon na convict you for arson just because you happened to live with a former -- might i add former -- con artist . nick : are you sure all that stuff 's behind you ? chelsea : yes ! it 's firmly in the past . nick : then why would jordan still have those fake ids ? chelsea : i -- i do n't know ! i do n't know , but that 's jordan 's business , not mine . not anymore . nick : you never talked to him about it ? chelsea : i -- no , well , it had been so long since i had seen him . it had been , like , forever ago . it was years ago . nick : are you married to him ? chelsea : no , i 'm not married to him . the whole thing was just this ... nick : annulled ? separated ? divorced ? chelsea : nick . we were never married . the whole thing was just an act , okay ? it was a stupid , immature , dumb scam . nick : why did n't you tell me about it ? and what else have n't you told me ? chelsea : i mean , was i really supposed to tell you every single bad thing i 've done ? that 's ridiculous . nick : not with an arson investigation breathing down your neck . chelsea : okay , um , to be fair , nick newman , your biography is not exactly pristine , okay ? i mean , what were the words you used earlier talking about faith ? she was `` bombarded by controversy ? `` i think the newmans are in the news right now for some scandal today . nick : it 's not the same thing . chelsea : look , stop . i -- i never conned you . i left all of that stuff in my past . i promise . nick : you know that is exactly what a con would say , right ? nick : can i assume you 've come to your senses ? i mean , i do n't need an apology , but -- chelsea : you want an apology ? sorry . sorry you wo n't be sleeping in our bed tonight . ashley : jackie . jackie ! you ca n't deny it . ripping up that paper is not gon na make the truth go away . jack : you did n't see how frustrated she was . she was worried sick about abby . she 'll take the test again at a less stressful time . she 'll ace it . ashley : she 's not gon na pass the test , jack . i know it 's too sad , it 's too painful to even contemplate , but , jack , it 's ... it 's happening . it 's not even just her memory . i mean , think about it . it 's her actions . all the excuses we 've made for her . i mean , it explains so much . you know what 's going on with her , jack . we both do . jack : do n't -- do n't -- don't ... say it . don't . ashley : we have to . we have to confront it . you have to say it so that we can deal with it . jack : our mother 's sick . she has alzheimer 's . scott : you can think what you want , pal , but abby and i never hooked up . even if she was my type , she 's never thought about me that way . abby : he 's right . you 're just being paranoid , and you 're scaring me . zack : you should be scared . i asked you one simple thing ! do n't lie to me . [ laughing ] you think that you 're so high and mighty . you 're no better than the girls on my payroll . you look at me like i 'm the big offender here ? i use sex . so what ? you guys are just as low . you cheated on me , and scott cheated on sharon . you guys are the real trash ! and you both deserve exactly what you 're about to get . say goodbye , lovers !

autumn . next ? nick : hey . any word ? ashley : no . paul had a lead on a storage facility out of town , but by the time the cops got there , abby and scott were gone . nick : [ sighs ] man . i 've been so out of the loop . i mean , my dad 's running the investigation , so my details are n't exactly current . i ca n't imagine what you 're going through . i 'm so sorry . ashley : thank you . i got to tell you , it 's nice to hear some compassion coming from one of abby 's siblings . nick : oh , so you saw the newman press release . ravi : we just heard victoria try to justify it , very defensively . ashley : yeah , why are they doing that ? i mean , they 're making it sound like abby 's an accomplice in this whole thing . ravi : i find it impossible to believe she would knowingly be a part of that . nick : it was way out of line , and as much as i love victoria , i know how she can be . neil : yeah . i 've seen it . i read it . it 's not good . but , victor , this was n't on me , man . i tried to tell victoria not to throw abby to the wolves , but she would n't listen to me . i wanted to put a human spin to it , you know ? paint abby purely as zack 's victim . victoria : i thought i made it clear , neil . we had to move fast to protect newman 's image . neil : yeah , vicki , you did , and i heard you loud and clear . so why do n't we just take a collective breath and focus on putting another follow - up statement to soften the other one , you know ? minimize the damage to abby . how about that ? victor : may i just say that my position has not changed . victoria made the right decision . zack : you know , i wish i could congratulate you two on your great escape from the storage unit . points for ingenuity , but , uh ... you then had to go and lose it by making the wrong choice . you should have hightailed it back to genoa city . scott : you and i had some unfinished business . zack : [ laughs ] cool . so why 'd you drag along your wannabe girlfriend ? it 's not very smart , scott . abby : no one drags me anywhere , and i am not his girlfriend . zack : hey . uhp , uhp , uhp ! you can shelve any heroics you 're planning back there . we do n't want abby to get caught in any crossfire . abby : come on , you locked me in a storage unit . you left me there to rot ! stop acting like you 're out to protect me . zack : do you really think i would have left you there ? abby : i know you would have . zack : oh , come on . that 's not my style . once i was a safe distance away , i would have called 911 , sent them to rescue you . i mean , abby , i do have a conscience . scott : that was never gon na happen even if i had n't been there . zack : oh , my god . shut up , scott . i have a gun . abby . abby . look at me . look at us . we are obviously fated to be together . why else would we get a second chance like this ? scott : hey ! if she did n't make it clear enough earlier , abby wants -- abby : i can speak for myself . scott : good . tell him how you feel . abby : like i may need to reconsider things . zack : oops . nick : it was great seeing both of you . if you hear anything about abby , will you text me ? ashley : yeah , of course . nick : thanks . chelsea : uh , hi , guys . you left before we could , um , finish our discussion . nick : yeah , it felt pretty finished to me . chelsea : no . not really . uh , but , you know what , i do n't want to bore ashley and ravi with this , so why do n't we take it to the patio ? nick : no , i said everything i need to say . i did n't leave anything out . you , on the other hand , tend to leave a lot of stuff out , like crucial stuff . chelsea : not particularly crucial . none of that was really crucial . nick : chelsea . ashley : what is it ? chelsea : is there a problem ? ravi : uh ... ashley : yeah , is there ? ravi : are you the girl from `` the hilary hour ? `` nick : oh , the one that conned the bride . yeah , that 's her . you nailed it . chelsea : what ? what ? ! yes , it 's me ! it 's me ! the new scandal queen from `` the hilary hour , `` everybody ! in person ! in public ! who wants a selfie , huh ? let 's do it right now ! who wants a sel -- [ sighs ] forget it . dina : please tell me we 're done . dr. burg : not yet , almost there . we 're making excellent progress . jack : mother , you 've answered every question correctly . just go a little bit longer , we 'll make it to the end , all right ? dina : well , if you insist . dr. burg : mrs. mergeron . i want you to listen to this list . baseball ... stapler ... hat . dina : okay . dr. burg : now please repeat it . dina : baseball ... stapler ... and ... uh ... oh , yes . `` does anyone still a hat ? `` [ chuckles ] dr. burg : now i 'd like you to count backwards from 100 by sevens . dina : by sevens ? uh , 100 ... 90 ... uh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , doctor , but , uh , your little number game , it just reminds me of my stock portfolio , and by the way , son , how 's the dow jones this morning ? dr. burg : mrs. mergeron , please , focus on the test . dina : well , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , doctor , but , uh ... the only numbers currently on my mind have dollar signs attached to them . dr. burg : now ... remember those three objects that i just told you a moment ago ? please repeat them again . jack : mother , you can do this . try and remember -- dr. burg : please , mr . abbott . it 's important that your mother answer this on her own . dina : damn it ! jack : i think this is the perfect time for a little break . victor : neil , you 've made your position perfectly clear , but victoria is now coo . i trust her decision - making powers 100 % , and i 've given her the authority to deal with sensitive issues that we 're confronting right now . victoria : i respect your point of view , neil . that 's why i hired you and your company to come and work for us , but there was no halfway approach to this . it was a tough decision to be made , and i had to make it . i hope you can understand and respect that . neil : of course i do . i have a lot of respect for you and your company , and ultimately , it 's your company and it 's not mine . you have final say in everything . but the fact remains -- abby 's still missing , and deflecting blame , i 'm worried that 's gon na backfire on us . victor : i 'm doing everything i can . i 'm sparing no expense to find abby . but i will not allow them to let my other employees of my company go down the drain . neil : and when she returns ... victor : then people will attribute it to her youth , to her inexperience . she has been on the brink before . she 's always come back . she 's a survivor . victoria : she is . i know she 's gon na be fine , dad . abby will just be fine . i know it . [ cellphone rings ] victor : have you found my daughter ? scott : why are you saying all these things to him ? how can you even considering running off with this sleazebag ? zack : are you ? considering ? because i 'll be honest with you , that stuff that you said back at the storage unit ... that really packed a punch . so why the sudden 180 ? abby : it was n't so sudden at all . being trapped in that dark , cramped cubicle -- no food , no water , no heat , no chance for rescue ? it made re - evaluate my whole life . i mean , all of those things that you said to me about my family , about how they do n't love me , they do n't care about me ... scott : it was total garbage . zack : shh . abby : no . there was sincerity in that . i mean , despite all of their money and their power , no one came to rescue me . they do n't care about me . they probably do n't even know that i 'm missing . and as awful as that is to admit , it 's the truth . and it all became clear to me in that cell , and it also became clear that ... i really did love you . when i look deep within myself , i know that i still -- i still do love you , and i know that you love me , too . zack : then let 's do what we should have done a long time ago . let 's run away together . abby : yeah . zack : i promise , you will never look back on that town or that so - called family of yours . how can they be so blind and stupid not to see what an incredible woman there is standing right in front of me ? shall we begin this next adventure ? abby : what are we waiting for ? let 's do it . zack : oh ! there 's just one quick thing i need to take care of . you . abby : oh ! wait . no , look . if you want me to come with you , you can not kill scott , okay ? zack : abby ... abby : look , i can forgive you for a lot of things , but killing scott is n't one of them . look , if you want me , he stays alive . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . chelsea : [ exhales sharply ] [ door slams ] i still ca n't believe it . nick : what , your 15 minutes ? chelsea : okay , can you please just , like , not ? nick : sorry . it 's hard to resist . chelsea : it took ravi and everyone at crimson lights , what , like , three seconds to recognize me from that stupid show ! nick : what did you think was gon na happen ? this is the digital age . chelsea : this could ruin my whole business . nick : i think you need to worry about faith 's reaction right now , not your business . chelsea : oh , man ! faith . oh , shoot ! she 's gon na be so upset . okay , well , we can talk to her . we can smooth this over , right ? i mean , she 's a newman . this is n't the worst controversy she 's had to face -- no offense . nick : i do n't take any comfort knowing that what little time my daughter spent on this earth she has been bombarded with controversy . chelsea : fair . i know . okay . sorry . nick : frankly , i 'm more worried about what her perception of me is gon na be after this underground fiasco . chelsea : wait , i do n't understand . what are you talking about ? nick : the insurance company called . they 're not paying a dime . chelsea : why ? what do you mean ? nick : they think i did it . chelsea : what ? ! nick : and this was after the woman i 'm living with was outed on national tv as a con artist . chelsea : okay , that 's not particularly fair . i highly doubt that the two are related . nick : well , in an insurance investigator 's eyes , it ca n't possibly help . chelsea , i could go to prison for arson , and you could get locked up for being a con artist . i mean , if there 's a silver lining to this , i guess , you know , we could share a prison yard . victor : an entire security team looking for abby and scott , following every lead . meanwhile , they 're reporting they have nothing that i do n't already know . victoria : scott 's experienced and he 's resourceful , so if they 're together , they 'll be all right . victor : until something concrete lands on my desk , i have company business to attend to , and i would like to do it alone , if you do n't mind , okay ? neil : okay . victor , we 'll confer again before the end of the day . victor : i appreciate it , neil . neil : thanks . [ clears throat ] victoria : neil . neil : yeah . victoria : please do n't take this the wrong way , but i would really prefer it if you did n't question my decisions , especially in front of my dad . neil : you hired me and my company to help you over some major pr hurdles . that involves me expressing my opinions . you do n't have to like them , you do n't have to act accordingly , but i 'm not gon na keep my mouth shut just in case you do n't want to hear what i have to say . that 's -- that 's not me . that 's not my style . abby 's still missing . someone needed to speak up for her . victoria : not if it involves you undermining my position in front of my father . neil : listen to me . this is me . remember me ? i 'm very aware of who the boss is , and i 'm very grateful for this job . so you do n't have to come at me so hard just to prove your point . and i always want you to remember ... i 'm on your squad , i 'm on your team , okay ? victoria : wait a second . i got a real wake - up call last week when my son was pulled out of burning building , so i know how precious life can be . i 'm not trying to be hard and unfeeling . i 'm just trying to do my job here . no one would bat an eye if it was a man making these tough choices . i can be concerned and compassionate and smart and practical . and no matter what my job requires of me on a day - to - day basis , i 'm done being stepped on , all right ? so , yes , as a very good friend and colleague , i 'm asking you to kindly respect that , or get out of my way . dr. burg : shall we resume ? jack : yes . dina : anything to end this . dr. burg : so , let 's start with the those three objects i gave you . can you repeat them ? dina : i can't . i 'm too worried about abby . dr. burg : abby ? jack : her granddaughter . dina : she 's gone missing , and the police are involved , and it 's very , very distressing . dr. burg : okay , i will consider all factors when i score your test . dina : whatever you like . dr. burg : so , we 're almost done , i promise . dina : good . dr. burg : just one final thing . i 'd like you to draw a clock showing that the time is 9 : 00 . dina : you 're joking , are n't you ? do n't you have a watch ? well , there it is ! i see it ! dr. burg : [ chuckles ] dina : what , no crayons ? so now you want to test my artistic ability ? dr. burg : not at all . dina : well , what kind of clock would you like me to draw ? how about an antique swiss cuckoo variety ? dr. burg : just a simple clock face with all the numbers . dina : [ sighs ] what ridiculous time did you say ? jack : you know what , that 's enough . that 's enough . thank you , doctor , very much . thank you . dr. burg : mr. abbott , i -- jack : my mother 's been put through quite a lot . i 'm sure she 's tired right now . i thought this was a good idea . apparently , i was mistaken . dr. burg : i understand , but i really think you should -- jack : thank you , doctor . thank you very much . thank you . have a good day . dr. burg : okay . dina : [ exhales sharply ] oh , i 'm so glad you got rid of that bossy old man . jack : mother , forget the test . right now , you just have to take some time and calm your nerves . dina : oh , that would be heavenly . jack : i guarantee you ... everything is gon na be fantastic from here on out , okay ? dina : oh , thank you , darling . thank you . abby : look , why do n't we just leave ? right now . we can go . we can leave everything behind , including scott . i mean , he 's nothing to us . zack : while i do love your kind heart , abby , this guy does n't know when to quit . if i let him walk out of here , he 's likely to make it his life 's mission to track me down . abby : i have a ton of money . he could look forever and he will never find us . i mean , we could live in exclusive luxury . he could look for 100 years , and he wo n't even come close ! look at the poor guy . we 've humiliated him enough already . zack : [ laughs ] i mean , this has got to be killing you . think about all the time you 've wasted lusting after her . for what ? you 're never gon na have her . hold it . back up . what am i missing ? abby : what are you talking about ? what do you mean , missing ? zack : oh , do n't insult me . i saw that little moment between you two . what is going on ? abby : you , uh , think that scott and i ... ? no , he is repulsive . how could you even fathom -- zack : what , protest more than already have ? it 's classic overkill . it 's basically a confession . abby : to what ? zack : sex . something i know way more about than the two of you combined . i mean , it is my business after all , right ? see , i 'm an expert in non - verbal communication , picking up on cues that tell the naked truth . they never lie . so , tell me . did you two have sex ? neil : vicki , i 've always considered you a close personal friend . i know exactly what you 've been going through , and i know that it has n't been easy for you . victoria : do n't do that . the sympathy thing . i do n't need it . that 's not what i need because there 's no one to blame here but me , all right ? i took a long look at myself , and i do n't even recognize that woman . i spent so much time chasing after billy , trying to win him back , i did n't even see that he was literally poisoning me and my company . he did n't mean to , but i let it happen . so i 'm never giving up my power for anyone ever again . neil : your strength is beautiful . and i like that it 's back . i do . it 's inspiring . victoria : so why should i put a cap on it ? neil : the answer is back there . think about what his blind , unchecked power has lost him . your mother -- she 's not really his wife anymore , and nick disowned him . victoria : i 'm not my father . neil : not yet . all i 'm saying ... be careful what you wish for . jack : hey . anything ? ashley : no . jack : all i know is what paul told us . you heard that . dina : well , i know that abby is a spitfire . jack : no argument there . dina : and i know in my heart of hearts your daughter , my granddaughter ... will be home soon , safe and sound . ashley : i hope so . how did your doctor visit go ? dina : oh ! terribly . you know , the only problem with a house call is the fact that there 's nowhere to flee when you realize it 's been a terrible mistake . ashley : what happened with the doctor ? jack : oh , mother was fine . we just found this dr . burg tiresome and pushy . ashley : i thought he was supposed to be the very best elder care specialist ... jack : you did n't experience him , ash . ashley : okay , and the test ? jack : mother did n't finish the cognitive exam . ashley : i thought that was the whole point . jack : the specialist had her worried and frustrated and confused , and i did n't think the results would be of any worth . ashley : jack , did she answer the questions ? jack : yes , she did . most of them . she 's lost a little memory . who has n't ? you expect her to be razor - sharp at that age ? ashley : what 's this ? jack : oh , that 's nothing . give me that . ashley : no , is it part of the test ? jack : the doctor asked her to draw a clock at 9 : 00 . come on . give it to me . here . ashley : did you -- did you look at this ? jack : yes , i saw it . ashley : no , i do n't think you did . you need to look at this . this is much more than somebody not finishing something , jackie . jack , we have got to face this . i mean , something is very , very wrong . chelsea : no court is gon na convict you for arson just because you happened to live with a former -- might i add former -- con artist . nick : are you sure all that stuff 's behind you ? chelsea : yes ! it 's firmly in the past . nick : then why would jordan still have those fake ids ? chelsea : i -- i do n't know ! i do n't know , but that 's jordan 's business , not mine . not anymore . nick : you never talked to him about it ? chelsea : i -- no , well , it had been so long since i had seen him . it had been , like , forever ago . it was years ago . nick : are you married to him ? chelsea : no , i 'm not married to him . the whole thing was just this ... nick : annulled ? separated ? divorced ? chelsea : nick . we were never married . the whole thing was just an act , okay ? it was a stupid , immature , dumb scam . nick : why did n't you tell me about it ? and what else have n't you told me ? chelsea : i mean , was i really supposed to tell you every single bad thing i 've done ? that 's ridiculous . nick : not with an arson investigation breathing down your neck . chelsea : okay , um , to be fair , nick newman , your biography is not exactly pristine , okay ? i mean , what were the words you used earlier talking about faith ? she was `` bombarded by controversy ? `` i think the newmans are in the news right now for some scandal today . nick : it 's not the same thing . chelsea : look , stop . i -- i never conned you . i left all of that stuff in my past . i promise . nick : you know that is exactly what a con would say , right ? nick : can i assume you 've come to your senses ? i mean , i do n't need an apology , but -- chelsea : you want an apology ? sorry . sorry you wo n't be sleeping in our bed tonight . ashley : jackie . jackie ! you ca n't deny it . ripping up that paper is not gon na make the truth go away . jack : you did n't see how frustrated she was . she was worried sick about abby . she 'll take the test again at a less stressful time . she 'll ace it . ashley : she 's not gon na pass the test , jack . i know it 's too sad , it 's too painful to even contemplate , but , jack , it 's ... it 's happening . it 's not even just her memory . i mean , think about it . it 's her actions . all the excuses we 've made for her . i mean , it explains so much . you know what 's going on with her , jack . we both do . jack : do n't -- do n't -- don't ... say it . don't . ashley : we have to . we have to confront it . you have to say it so that we can deal with it . jack : our mother 's sick . she has alzheimer 's . scott : you can think what you want , pal , but abby and i never hooked up . even if she was my type , she 's never thought about me that way . abby : he 's right . you 're just being paranoid , and you 're scaring me . zack : you should be scared . i asked you one simple thing ! do n't lie to me . [ laughing ] you think that you 're so high and mighty . you 're no better than the girls on my payroll . you look at me like i 'm the big offender here ? i use sex . so what ? you guys are just as low . you cheated on me , and scott cheated on sharon . you guys are the real trash ! and you both deserve exactly what you 're about to get . say goodbye , lovers !
