[ chuckles ] phyllis : you speak french like i cook . come on , girl . do n't let me down . lily : my god , i have so much to do before getting on a plane in a few hours . i guess it makes it more exciting , right ? billy : i think so . lily : kind of like a high - wire act , riding a unicycle , juggling chainsaws . billy : you can do that ? do n't tell me . i 'll put it in the commercial . lily : yeah , funny . billy : listen , i know you got a lot to do , but this is gon na be phenomenal , okay ? with this team , we 're gon na power through anything . lily : okay . billy : good . juliet : so why are you shutting down ? this is n't about you and me and what happened in -- cane : all right , it 's not about us , okay ? it 's about the commercial and victoria 's indulging billy to make a point , and i just let it get to me . just , i just want to drop it , okay ? lily : hey . what 's wrong ? sharon : hmm . what should we drink to ? scott : to all the many things there are to know about you . sharon : [ chuckles ] sounds like you have a list of questions prepared already . scott : oh , always . sharon : i guess that is your chosen career . scott : yeah , but i 've always been like this . i was a very nosy child . sharon : well , i think we might have time for one question before the show starts . scott : i 'm just a little curious about something you mentioned earlier , um , when you were outlining your topics for your rant . sharon : oh . what was that ? scott : something about a crisis hotline . sharon : yeah , that 's a mental health program . it 's run by the city , and i got course credit for doing the training , which i just finished . and then at the end of next semester , i write up a paper about my volunteer experience , which also counts as a class . scott : hope that 's not the only reason you 're doing it . sharon : no . i 'm also hoping to benefit financially . scott : oh . sharon : yeah , at the end of each call , i plan on adding a signature tag line . `` there 's no crisis that ca n't be helped with a large coffee from crimson lights . `` scott : okay , i , uh , i deserve that . sharon : completely . scott : yeah . sharon : [ chuckles ] really , uh , the truth is , i could have benefited from having a number to call some of the times when i had a dark moment , but ... i 'm really looking forward to this opportunity . scott : i admire that . as someone who 's been on the edge , alone , more than a few times , you know , hearing your voice at the other end of that line would have certainly been helpful . sharon : you know , someone once said this to me , and i never forgot it . once you climb up a ladder , you do n't just pull it up after you . you look down and you see if there 's anyone else who needs a hand up . [ guitar strumming ] reed : relax . it 's just me . tessa : sorry . reed : [ chuckles ] tessa : i guess i should stick to decaf after dark . reed : yeah , well , i did n't even think you 'd be here . noah and i were talking about it . tessa : oh , i should have called to confirm . with moving today , i was just crazy busy . reed : i heard . noah was telling me that , uh , you moved into my grandparents ' place . that 's pretty rad . i bet it 's a big upgrade from where you were before . tessa : well , i do n't know . between that and my villa in ibiza . [ chuckles ] uh , do you still want to do that thing as a duet ? i heard you were working on it as a solo thing . reed : are you kidding me ? we wrote that song together so we could debut it here . [ knock on door ] noah : you guys ready ? showtime . reed : all right , i 'll meet you out there . tessa : all right . noah : break a leg . tessa : do you have insurance for that ? noah : hmm . tessa : hmm . noah : maybe . tessa : hey , noah . thanks . noah : yeah . cane : my nerves are a little frayed 'cause i hate rushing to stuff , 'cause you know that 's how mistakes are made . juliet : we 're just trying to make sure everything 's in place . this commercial is happening in 48 hours , as i 'm sure you 've heard . lily : yeah . [ chuckles ] so i called the kids , and i gave them the heads - up . cane : thanks , baby . lily : yeah . billy : jordan 's in . love this guy . professional right here . thanks , buddy . jordan : man , do n't worry about me . it 's all good . but to make the best use of our day tomorrow , we should sign off on lily 's wardrobe for my behind - the- scenes stuff . cane : oh , that 's all right . you got it , all right ? i 'm a little swamped . jordan : all right , cool . see ya . cane : hey , hey , hey , hey . come here . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry about the way i reacted about the commercial . this is a big deal for you , okay ? and i just ... i just want it to go off without a hitch . that 's all . lily : thank you . cane : okay . lily : i do , too . and look , i know that you 're busting your butt trying to make this happen and being a team player and all , but you really have to dial back the tension i walked in on , especially in front of billy . cane : i 'm still in shock with billy 's plan , you know , and the fact that victoria went along with it without consulting me . i mean , she 's just doing it so she can look cool about the fact that , you know , he 's sleeping with phyllis again . lily : well , either that , or victoria loves the idea of billy being 2,000 miles away from phyllis . phyllis : okay . all right . mmm . [ timer dings ] phyllis : [ humming ] here we go . okay . please , please , please , please , please . please , please . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . it 's hot . it 's hot . come here . come here , baby . come here . come here . [ gasps ] my sweet girl . [ laughing ] oh , my god . i 've only actually gone and done it . magnifique . victoria : thank you , mom . i 'm sorry to just drop by like this . i know you 're busy with the benefit and everything . nikki : oh , honey , you 're fine . i was hoping to get down to the underground for open mic night , but i just finished my last donor call . victoria : oh . how did those go ? nikki : people do seem to be more generous during this after - dinner cocktail hour , but it also makes them much chattier . victoria : [ chuckles ] well , perfect timing , then . i was just wondering if you could drop by the house while i 'm out of town and check on the kids . hannah 's gon na be there , but i would just be a lot happier if you could check in on them , too . i suddenly have to fly to l.a. last minute . nikki : oh , really ? for brash & sassy ? i 'm happy to help . but is n't one of the joys of running your own company the ability to delegate last - minute things like red - eyes ? victoria : [ chuckles ] should be , but even if i could , i would n't . i know that this is billy 's commercial project , and i want to be there for it . i want to be there for him . nikki : billy , huh ? does that mean the two of you are -- victoria : no , mom . at the moment , no , we 're just coworkers . he 's back with phyllis . nikki : oh , dear god . victoria : no , it 's fine . it is what it is . he does n't know the actual reason , but he knew that i was shutting him out . nikki : [ sighs ] i am so sorry . victoria : do n't be , mom . please . phyllis may be winning , but i am still in the game . hilary : that is so exciting ! yes , count me in ! really ? how much excitement can one girl take ? yeah , me , too . okay , i 'll see you there . mariah : hi . when you 're done with all your excitement , there 's a couple things that we have to go over for tomorrow 's taping schedule . hilary : rip it up . it is all gon na change . see , that was jordan , and he is going to be doing some work in l.a. , and i 'll be joining him . mariah : come again ? hilary : well , it 's the perfect opportunity for the show to go hollywood . mariah : wait , taping segments with actual show - biz glitterati ? hilary : exactly . mariah : that 's amazing . i love this idea . and i have n't been to california in years . hilary : ohh , uh ... mariah : really ? hilary : i would love for you to come , honey . i would , but i need you here running things . and you have that summer salad spectacular to tape . mariah : oh , right ! while i 'm here , do you also want me to scrub down the bathrooms ? hilary : okay , what is with the snippy attitude ? i thought that you would revel having devon and genoa city all to yourself for the next few days . mariah : while you whisk away to tinseltown to enjoy jordan , among other attractions . hilary : uh - huh . mariah : it 's fine . devon mentioned something about taking the private jet to new york for dinner one night . which reminds me , i just spoke to our budget guy . so do n't expect anything above coach . middle seat , cash bar . hilary : [ sighs ] victoria : nick said that if i want to get billy back , i have to be myself . and the honest truth is , i have n't been . not ever since we found out what dad did with chloe . i 've had to lie , i 've been evasive and distant with billy . nikki : you know , maybe it was a mistake , my suggesting that you tell billy that my ms had flared up again . victoria : mom , i did n't realize it , but it was already too late . billy and phyllis had already gotten back together . i played right into her hands . you know , i would n't be in this position right now if it had n't been for all the horrible things that dad has done . he is the one who 's responsible for this . nikki : do n't you ever forget that you and billy still share a very deep connection . victoria : [ sighs ] that i 'm well aware . we have the kids . we have the business . what does phyllis have to offer billy ? nikki : [ scoffs ] besides the obvious ? victoria : that and a constant reminder of his wrecked relationship with jack . nikki : yeah , well , that situation has n't improved very much , has it ? victoria : i 'm not giving up . i have a small window to make things right , and this trip is it . lying because of dad may have cost me a chance with billy , but i think california might just be the place to get that back . billy : cane , can you and jordan confer about the promos , and , lily , juliet has your wardrobe if you want to take a look . lily : yeah , sure . right away . cane : hey , what 's up ? jordan : since i 'm taking stills and video of lily before and after the commercial , i figured you 'd want to take a look at this list of iconic l.a . spots , places we can use as backdrops . cane : griffith park observatory , malibu beach , rodeo drive , hollywood bowl . jordan : billy says that he wants to hit as many of these places as possible . cane : are you concerned ? jordan : it 's no big deal to me . i 've been on plenty last - minute shoots . you all go in with a pretty ambitious want list . cane : and ? jordan : and the clock is the clock , you know ? the most capable team can only do what they can do . when you 're in this kind of rush , things happen . things go right . things go wrong . cane : yeah , they sure do . well , hey , i know you 'll do your best . lily : i love this . this is very l.a . juliet : is n't it ? lily : mm - hmm . juliet : billy , any thoughts ? billy : lily in any of those ? what 's not to like ? damn it . juliet : anything wrong ? billy : no , i just missed a text . i got to duck out of here for a second . is that all right ? juliet : yeah , we got this . right , lil ? lily : yeah , clothes are fantastic . billy : great . cane , i got to bounce . something came up . i wo n't be long . cane : hold up , hold up . jordan , can we have a second ? jordan : yeah , no problem . cane : all right . listen , i know you 're not concerned with my opinion , but i 'm gon na give it to you anyway . billy : that 's fine . like i said , i got to go . cane : okay , listen , there is still time to do this commercial the right way , okay , with a top director and a schedule that 's not gon na blow the budget , billy . billy : hey , i know where you 're coming from . vicki and i both appreciate your concern . but listen , if you want to go big , you got to make a splash , and we 're gon na big here . i know it 's a risk , but that 's life sometimes . we 're going all in , cane , so stop trying to talk me out of it . cane : okay . that 's exactly what i 'll do . reed : a little more both : da , da - da - da da , da - da - da are we at a funeral ? ! i came for some rock ' n ' roll ! put on a record and she can dance for us ! reed : ... life 's redemption comes in a package for two [ applause ] reed : forget about him . he 's an ass . you were amazing . tessa : good . he finally left . noah : sorry about that jerk , guys . tessa : it 's whatever . noah : hey , reed and tessa ! is it just me or are they gon na be stars ? [ applause ] tessa : i 'm just gon na grab my case . reed : okay . noah : hey , let 's keep it going for , uh , our next performer . he 's straight from milwaukee . freddie flamenco . [ applause ] hey , honey . [ slurring ] sorry , but booze makes me run my mouth sometimes . [ chuckles ] tessa : it 's fine . just forget it . come on . let me take you out for a drink , angelface . aah ! [ groaning ] noah : hey , hey , hey ! stay right there ! hey , what happened ? the crazy bitch just attacked me ! noah : watch your mouth ! this guy put his hands on you ? tessa : yeah . noah : get the hell out of my bar before i call the cops . get out of here ! it 's okay . he 's gone . it 's okay . sharon : [ sighs ] scott : points to you for that inspired suggestion . sharon : inspired by me just trying to avoid an uncomfortable conversation ? scott : however we got there , i really enjoyed it . sharon : me , too . and i 've been wanting to check out noah 's open mic night , but you know me and my scheduling issues . scott : yeah , finals are almost over , but you still have some studying left , so i will not keep you up . but when you do have some time , and if you want to talk about anything , uncomfortable or not , you do n't need to call the hotline . you got me . sharon : you seem to think i have all of these deep , dark secrets i 'm hiding away , but i bet yours are just as dark . scott : ooh . sharon : and do n't look so surprised . i 've heard a lot of what you 've been through . not from you , of course . but i know that it must have been rough . scott : maybe that 's why we found each other . we 're , uh , under - sharers . sharon : [ chuckles ] scott : yeah , you got to admit , it keeps things interesting . sharon : very interesting . scott : okay . good night . victoria : before the whole schedule got moved up , i have been making plans with hannah to bring the kids out so that billy and i could take them to san diego after the shoot . nikki : is that still a possibility ? victoria : i am gon na make it a reality for two reasons . nikki : much - needed family time for the kids . victoria : and some just as crucial family time for their father , who also happens to love theme parks and the zoo . nikki : hmm . very clever of you showing billy what he 's been missing out on . victoria : and that there are things that i can give him that phyllis just never can . billy : i 'm so sorry . phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : i just got your last text a few minutes ago . it 's been a crazy day . phyllis : you are a very busy , busy man , but you happen to be right on time . billy : for what ? phyllis : [ gasps ] for your surprise . billy : did you do all this for me ? phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : oh , my gosh . you -- you cooked ? phyllis : i cooked the dessert . billy : that is a surprise . phyllis : yeah . you know , keeping life real , unexpected . billy : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i , uh ... phyllis : what 's wrong ? oh , do n't tell me you have to rush back to the office . billy : i got to go to the airport . i got to go to l.a. asap for just a few days . phyllis : for the commercial . billy : yes , we 've had a time crunch thing . we got to shoot the day after tomorrow . and i 'm so sorry . this looks amazing . i ca n't believe you went through all this trouble . i feel terrible . phyllis : no , no , no , no ! are you kidding ? no . that 's the fast - paced , high- stakes world we live in . no , this was nothing . this was ... you have to hurry ! so ... okay . billy : you sure ? phyllis : yes . billy : i 'm sorry . phyllis : i 'm sure . i 'm gon na be cheering you on , okay , from here while you pull off a must - see commercial 48 hours from now , okay ? all right . i insist . billy : okay . phyllis : yep . billy : i 'll call you from l.a . phyllis : okay . i know you will . billy : bye . phyllis : bye . billy : [ sighs ] [ door slams ] phyllis : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] man . [ next_on ] ashley : i think that you 're obsessed with my brother , who just so happens to be in los angeles with his ex - wife . billy : this is all you . you made this happen . lily : [ laughing ] oh , my god ! [ laughs ] it 's me ! [ laughs ] | billy informed his coworkers that they 'd have to fly to l.a. ahead of schedule to film the commercial . cane told juliet that he did n't like her working with billy , but he assured her that his issue had nothing to do with their one night stand . cane apologized to lily for the way he acted about the commercial . lily advised cane to dial back the tension around billy . cane was concerned about the increased costs of the commercial , but billy disregarded cane 's point of view . cane decided not to voice any more objections about it . reed asked victoria to let him watch the kids while she was in california , but he changed his mind once she told him what it would entail . sharon and scott shared a kiss , and scott admitted he 'd been thinking about kissing her for some time . sharon divulged that she was n't divorced yet . scott wanted to learn more about sharon , but she avoided opening up by taking him on a date to the underground . sharon revealed that she 'd be volunteering at a crisis center . scott noted that both and sharon avoided discussing certain things . | <s>[INST] phyllis : there we go . there we go . all righty . what do we got ? we 've got the crab enchiladas . check . we got the fresh ceviche . check . and we 've got the homemade tomatillo salsa . yes . check . and then we 've got our eggs , got our sugar , our cocoa powder , and [ french accent ] the pièce de résistance , chocolat . beautiful . [ normal voice ] okay , then . mm - hmm . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : hey , billy . billy : hey . i 'm glad you picked up . victoria : what 's wrong ? you sound out of breath . billy : [ sighs ] we have a major problem with the commercial shoot . it 's actually a major crisis . victoria : what ? everything 's been scheduled . we 're supposed to be leaving in the next few days . billy : yeah , you can take that schedule and trash it . it 's not gon na happen . but i think i have a fix . juliet : the location scout came up with these choices for studio space . cane : they 're expensive . there 's nothing more affordable ? juliet : i asked that , too . the problem is our plans are a bit last - minute . no getting around that , though , especially if you want the commercial to air before the hockey championships . cane : yeah , well , we can thank billy for that . billy : did i hear my name ? cane : yeah , we 're talking about you and your ridiculously expensive commercial . billy : well , brace yourself . it 's about to get even more expensive . our director can only shoot the day after tomorrow , so we need to hightail it to l.a. as soon as possible . cane : [ chuckles ] victoria 's not gon na go for that . billy : oh , she just did . so pack your bags . we 're heading to hollywood . sharon : wow . that ... came out of nowhere . scott : not for me . i 've been thinking about it a long time . sharon : you have ? scott : yeah , almost from the moment i met you . sharon : well , that 's sweet . and it 's not that i have n't , you know , thought about doing it . scott : [ chuckles ] sharon : i mean , you doing that with me . scott : mm - hmm . sharon : it 's just that the timing 's been , you know ... and i ca n't seem to really speak right now . scott : i get it . i get it , i get it . the ink 's still fresh on the divorce . it 's okay . sharon : actually , i 'm not ... officially ... yet ... divorced . mariah : oh . hilary : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm surprised to see you here without a bodyguard . mariah : oh , come on . grandiose is your department . besides , who needs bodyguards ? i seem to remember winning our little cat fight . hilary : [ laughs ] jordan : what 's with that look ? you did n't think i 'd show ? hilary : well , i was n't sure . that 's why i decided to ask your voicemail . jordan : here i am . hilary : i know i messed up by bragging about our sex life to devon . jordan : yelling about it in his hallway is n't exactly subtle . but that 's not the reason why i walked away . hilary : i know . you deserve to know where we stand with each other . jordan : i thought i did . but now i wonder . was it all a part of some divorce wars game ? can i even buy anything that you say to me , hilary ? nikki : ah , you excited for open mic night ? tessa : oh , yeah . it 'll be great . are you sure i ca n't get you up on those keys again ? nikki : oh , thank you , but no . i 'm gon na take a pass this time . tessa : i 'm not the best at expressing myself outside of song , but this is really something , you letting me stay here . nikki : i 'm glad to have you . do you like your room ? tessa : it 's awesome . what 's not to like ? there 's a beautiful view , a fabulous bed , an incredible bathroom . it even has one of those rain - shower things . i mean , i just feel like i 'm living in a dream . nikki : well , it 's nice that you 're enjoying yourself . tessa : and the acoustics are great , too . i was playing my guitar a little , and i thought the room would be great for practicing , unless that 's a problem . nikki : why would it be ? tessa : i do n't want to bother mr. newman . nikki : tessa , again , you do n't have to worry about my husband . he keeps to himself these days . scott : i 'm just a little curious why you chose now to clear up where things stand with the divorce . is that kind of a hint for me to put the brakes on or ... ? sharon : no ! no , i - i just thought that i should be up front with you . you 're a reporter . you -- you deal in the facts . and the facts are , technically , that i 'm still married until the decree is final . but i 'm really glad you 're here . scott : i 'm glad to be here , and i 'm glad we 're taking things slow . you know , it makes me anxious to find out more about you . sharon : you do n't say . scott : i managed to , uh , pick up on some of your adorable traits during our very proper courtship . but i feel that there 's much more left to uncover , which makes you even more exciting . sharon : 'cause i 'm a story ? that 's how you see things ? you 're a journalist , so you always think there 's something more to uncover . scott : look , everybody has a story . some are just harder to open up about than others . sharon : it 's true i have been through some rough patches , but my story is not all that remarkable . scott : who said it had to be ? sharon : i do n't want you to think that i 'm someone who needs to be saved . scott : not saved . maybe just heard . billy : look , cane , i 'm not thrilled about being jerked around by our director 's schedule , but we knew when we hired this woman her existing commitments came first , right ? that 's what you get with callie weston , and she 's doing it for scale . cane : she 's not the only director in town , billy . juliet : yeah , but she is the hottest . last year , movie studios were in a bidding war to sign her to a multi - picture deal . billy : right , so if we can use that reputation to expose our brand , then a little inconvenience is not a big deal . cane : it 's not inconvenient . it 's ridiculous , all right ? we 're spending twice what we had budgeted on this . billy : why are you fighting this ? victoria said yes . it 's a done deal . juliet : and it really is up to her . we 've told her how expensive this is . let her worry about the long - term benefits versus the short - term costs . billy : this is her company . it 's her job to worry about that stuff . our job is to make the best commercial we possibly can . is that right ? [ cell phone rings ] billy : it 's l.a . i got to take this . billy abbott . reed : so you 're leaving to california tonight ? victoria : well , i was fully planning on spending the whole evening here , but i have to leave in the next few hours , so i got to go home , i got to pack , i got to track down hannah and make sure she 's available to move in and take care of everything while i 'm away . reed : you know , there is another option . i can drive now . i know how everything works at the house . and i 'm katie and johnny 's older brother . victoria : leaving you in charge ? no , i 'm sorry , honey . that 's not gon na happen . reed : you still do n't trust me . victoria : would you excuse us for a minute , noah ? noah : sure thing . victoria : yes , i trust you , okay ? i loan you my car , i let you perform here on school nights , i let you choose your own friends . reed : yeah , but just not enough to let me take care of things alone for a few days . victoria : you want the responsibility ? fine . you got it . reed : [ scoffs ] you 're kidding . victoria : no , i am very serious , and i hope you are , too . reed : of course . victoria : good . okay . let 's go over your brother and sister 's schedule for the next three days . you 're gon na need to get up an hour earlier and make sure that they 're fed and dressed , get them to school . reed : okay . victoria : okay ? and then when you are done with school , you need to pick them up and take hannah 's place in carpool . reed : carpool ? victoria : these are very busy kids , reed . they have activities almost every day . johnny 's got gymnastics . katie 's got dance . they have play dates . there 's a birthday party . they 're each gon na need a present . and then they have the dentist . it 's not their favorite thing in the world , but it 's just checkups and cleanings . unless , of course , there 's a cavity . but then you can deal with that , right ? reed : yeah , no . of course i can , mom . um , it 's just i 've got , like , homework and important stuff like my guitar lessons and -- and other stuff that i have to take care of . plus , i mean , i would n't want to take work from hannah . victoria : oh , that is so considerate of you , baby . so sweet . okay , well , listen . have a stellar set , and if i do n't see you back at the house , i 'll call you when i get to l.a. , okay ? mwah . reed : all right . bye , mom . also ... is billy coming to see the kids while you 're gone , or ... ? victoria : no , actually , this tv commercial is his idea . so he 'll be in l.a . reed : okay . cool . victoria : yeah , he 'll be running the show , and i 'll be there to make sure that it works out for all of us . reed : awesome . well , have fun . love you . sharon : you 're right . i do need to be heard . i think a very long , rather unhinged rant has been building up inside of me this entire semester about ... studying and course work and crisis hotline training , which is so intense , i think there should be a hotline for people who are training to be on staff at crisis hotline . scott : okay , wow . wow . anything else you want to put in that rant ? sharon : you mean like juggling my college courses with running a coffeehouse and sharing custody of a tween daughter ? because that is a sub - rant unto itself . scott : i 'm a very good listener . sharon : which is why i am presenting you with a one - time opportunity to trade in the mega - rant i just described for a special mystery prize . scott : so , you 're not just a student , barista , crisis trainee , mom . you 're also a game show host ? sharon : five seconds on the clock . i will need an answer . scott : wait , wait , wait , wait . what 's the mystery prize ? sharon : uh , hello ? it is a mystery . but i will give you a hint . two tickets to open mic night at my son 's club . drinks included . scott : can i bring you ? sharon : that 's part of the prize . scott : [ sighs ] i 'll take it . let 's go . sharon : [ chuckles ] you have chosen wisely . give yourself a round of applause . scott : you see what a little ranting can do to get all that stuff off your chest , and then you 're , uh , ready to go out and have fun . sharon : looks like i just averted my first crisis . tessa : if you need anyone to clean the stables or , uh , do laundry or clean windows -- nikki : honey , we have a wonderful staff that takes care of all of that for us and for our guests . so you should use your free time to work on your music . tessa : people work their whole lives to be treated like this . so , thank you -- again . uh , i 'd better head to the underground . you want to come with ? just to watch . nikki : oh , thank you , but i have a lot of phone calls i have to make for the benefit . i have learned over the years that this is the best time to hit up some of our donors . tessa : after they 've retired to the library for a few cocktails ? nikki : you know , you 're catching on to this fundraising thing very quickly . tessa : [ chuckles ] nikki : no , you go tonight and have fun , and we 'll catch up later . tessa : okay . nikki : what ? is everything okay ? tessa : it 's just such a weird trip living in a place like this . nikki : well , you better get used to it , my dear . tessa : okay . see ya . nikki : see ya . billy : just got off the phone with callie weston 's agent . our director is a lock . juliet : great . one thing down . billy : 99 more to go . you , me -- we 're gon na be connected at the hip . i hope you do n't mind i 'm gon na need more time of yours once we get to l.a . juliet : not a problem . i thrive in crisis mode . billy : sounds good . juliet : what is it ? cane : it 's nothing . juliet : come on , cane . it 's obvious you 're not too pleased about me working so closely with billy . cane : why would i even care about that ? juliet : that 's what i would like to know . so maybe you should tell me before it becomes a thing . cane : i do n't know , i just have a bad feeling about it . i 've known billy too long , and i know him too well . i just do n't like it . juliet : you 're acting like this is a major permanent shift . it 's only temporary . just for the trip , really . cane : can we just drop it ? juliet : what ? why ? jordan : devon and mariah caught you in the apartment ? hilary : well , they came home , but they did n't catch me because i hid . jordan : so they did n't know that you were there ? hilary : no . they were too busy ... getting busy . rather loudly just a few feet from where i was hiding . i heard everything . and when they worked their way upstairs , then i made a run for it . jordan : man . that 's rough . [ sighs ] hilary : see , that 's why when i went back to , you know , move some of my stuff out , i could n't help myself from trying to save face . jordan : okay . that -- that explains a lot . hilary : but it does n't excuse the way that i 've treated you or taken you for granted . and that was n't my intention , okay ? it 's just that this -- this divorce has been ... [ sighs deeply ] ... a lot tougher than i thought that it was gon na be , okay ? and it 's just -- it 's doing a real number on my head . jordan : it 's a major life change . you do n't just move on and get over it . hilary : i feel like i 'm being pulled in two different places . i ... [ sighs ] is it petty of me to -- to be annoyed that devon is ... sleeping with my co - host , or do i really just miss him ? and if i miss him , how long is that gon na last ? and did i make the right decision , or is this gon na be the biggest mistake of my life ? i ... so i am not the woman that you thought that i was . i am just a wreck . jordan : you know what you are ? human . you ca n't just turn your feelings off for someone like a heater in the car , no matter how much you want to . hilary : i really , really want to . jordan : you do n't have to do it on my account . all i ever wanted from you was honesty . and tonight you delivered it , so ... thank you . hilary : i just wanted you to know that i 'm sorry , okay ? and ... i am trying . jordan : that 's good enough for me . [ cell phone chimes ] jordan : [ sighs ] it 's brash & sassy . something important 's happening at the office . i got to get there asap . hilary : you should go . we will continue this later . i mean , if we 're good . jordan : we are now . all right ? i 'll see you . noah : hey , i seen you around . great to finally meet you . scott : likewise . we know a few of the same people . noah : right . scott : but this one i think might be my favorite . noah : you know , oddly enough , mine , too . so , can i get you two kids an out - of- the - way booth , dark , cozy ? sharon : noah , please do n't make me regret leaving the newman compound . scott : and nothing too cozy . it 's a school night . i got to get her back to the compound kind of early . noah : how 's this ? scott : that 's great . noah : hey , you ! ah ! i was starting to worry i 'd have a tessa - free lineup . tessa : well , your crazy grandmother forced me to move into her house . can you believe that ? noah : that 's great ! uh , did you have a hard time getting out of your lease or ... ? tessa : oh , i did n't have one . i was in a temporary situation that i am very glad to be out of . well , i should go tune up , i mean , if you want me to sound halfway decent . noah : well , that 's our slogan around here . `` halfway decent entertainment or your tap water 's free . `` tessa : oh . noah : yeah . uh , you can put your bag and your guitar case in the executive suite . tessa : ooh . well , thank you . noah : you got it . you better be good , honey . bonsoir , chocoholics , and welcome to our lesson featuring my heavenly soufflé au chocolat ! [ chuckles ] phyllis : you speak french like i cook . come on , girl . do n't let me down . lily : my god , i have so much to do before getting on a plane in a few hours . i guess it makes it more exciting , right ? billy : i think so . lily : kind of like a high - wire act , riding a unicycle , juggling chainsaws . billy : you can do that ? do n't tell me . i 'll put it in the commercial . lily : yeah , funny . billy : listen , i know you got a lot to do , but this is gon na be phenomenal , okay ? with this team , we 're gon na power through anything . lily : okay . billy : good . juliet : so why are you shutting down ? this is n't about you and me and what happened in -- cane : all right , it 's not about us , okay ? it 's about the commercial and victoria 's indulging billy to make a point , and i just let it get to me . just , i just want to drop it , okay ? lily : hey . what 's wrong ? sharon : hmm . what should we drink to ? scott : to all the many things there are to know about you . sharon : [ chuckles ] sounds like you have a list of questions prepared already . scott : oh , always . sharon : i guess that is your chosen career . scott : yeah , but i 've always been like this . i was a very nosy child . sharon : well , i think we might have time for one question before the show starts . scott : i 'm just a little curious about something you mentioned earlier , um , when you were outlining your topics for your rant . sharon : oh . what was that ? scott : something about a crisis hotline . sharon : yeah , that 's a mental health program . it 's run by the city , and i got course credit for doing the training , which i just finished . and then at the end of next semester , i write up a paper about my volunteer experience , which also counts as a class . scott : hope that 's not the only reason you 're doing it . sharon : no . i 'm also hoping to benefit financially . scott : oh . sharon : yeah , at the end of each call , i plan on adding a signature tag line . `` there 's no crisis that ca n't be helped with a large coffee from crimson lights . `` scott : okay , i , uh , i deserve that . sharon : completely . scott : yeah . sharon : [ chuckles ] really , uh , the truth is , i could have benefited from having a number to call some of the times when i had a dark moment , but ... i 'm really looking forward to this opportunity . scott : i admire that . as someone who 's been on the edge , alone , more than a few times , you know , hearing your voice at the other end of that line would have certainly been helpful . sharon : you know , someone once said this to me , and i never forgot it . once you climb up a ladder , you do n't just pull it up after you . you look down and you see if there 's anyone else who needs a hand up . [ guitar strumming ] reed : relax . it 's just me . tessa : sorry . reed : [ chuckles ] tessa : i guess i should stick to decaf after dark . reed : yeah , well , i did n't even think you 'd be here . noah and i were talking about it . tessa : oh , i should have called to confirm . with moving today , i was just crazy busy . reed : i heard . noah was telling me that , uh , you moved into my grandparents ' place . that 's pretty rad . i bet it 's a big upgrade from where you were before . tessa : well , i do n't know . between that and my villa in ibiza . [ chuckles ] uh , do you still want to do that thing as a duet ? i heard you were working on it as a solo thing . reed : are you kidding me ? we wrote that song together so we could debut it here . [ knock on door ] noah : you guys ready ? showtime . reed : all right , i 'll meet you out there . tessa : all right . noah : break a leg . tessa : do you have insurance for that ? noah : hmm . tessa : hmm . noah : maybe . tessa : hey , noah . thanks . noah : yeah . cane : my nerves are a little frayed 'cause i hate rushing to stuff , 'cause you know that 's how mistakes are made . juliet : we 're just trying to make sure everything 's in place . this commercial is happening in 48 hours , as i 'm sure you 've heard . lily : yeah . [ chuckles ] so i called the kids , and i gave them the heads - up . cane : thanks , baby . lily : yeah . billy : jordan 's in . love this guy . professional right here . thanks , buddy . jordan : man , do n't worry about me . it 's all good . but to make the best use of our day tomorrow , we should sign off on lily 's wardrobe for my behind - the- scenes stuff . cane : oh , that 's all right . you got it , all right ? i 'm a little swamped . jordan : all right , cool . see ya . cane : hey , hey , hey , hey . come here . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry about the way i reacted about the commercial . this is a big deal for you , okay ? and i just ... i just want it to go off without a hitch . that 's all . lily : thank you . cane : okay . lily : i do , too . and look , i know that you 're busting your butt trying to make this happen and being a team player and all , but you really have to dial back the tension i walked in on , especially in front of billy . cane : i 'm still in shock with billy 's plan , you know , and the fact that victoria went along with it without consulting me . i mean , she 's just doing it so she can look cool about the fact that , you know , he 's sleeping with phyllis again . lily : well , either that , or victoria loves the idea of billy being 2,000 miles away from phyllis . phyllis : okay . all right . mmm . [ timer dings ] phyllis : [ humming ] here we go . okay . please , please , please , please , please . please , please . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . it 's hot . it 's hot . come here . come here , baby . come here . come here . [ gasps ] my sweet girl . [ laughing ] oh , my god . i 've only actually gone and done it . magnifique . victoria : thank you , mom . i 'm sorry to just drop by like this . i know you 're busy with the benefit and everything . nikki : oh , honey , you 're fine . i was hoping to get down to the underground for open mic night , but i just finished my last donor call . victoria : oh . how did those go ? nikki : people do seem to be more generous during this after - dinner cocktail hour , but it also makes them much chattier . victoria : [ chuckles ] well , perfect timing , then . i was just wondering if you could drop by the house while i 'm out of town and check on the kids . hannah 's gon na be there , but i would just be a lot happier if you could check in on them , too . i suddenly have to fly to l.a. last minute . nikki : oh , really ? for brash & sassy ? i 'm happy to help . but is n't one of the joys of running your own company the ability to delegate last - minute things like red - eyes ? victoria : [ chuckles ] should be , but even if i could , i would n't . i know that this is billy 's commercial project , and i want to be there for it . i want to be there for him . nikki : billy , huh ? does that mean the two of you are -- victoria : no , mom . at the moment , no , we 're just coworkers . he 's back with phyllis . nikki : oh , dear god . victoria : no , it 's fine . it is what it is . he does n't know the actual reason , but he knew that i was shutting him out . nikki : [ sighs ] i am so sorry . victoria : do n't be , mom . please . phyllis may be winning , but i am still in the game . hilary : that is so exciting ! yes , count me in ! really ? how much excitement can one girl take ? yeah , me , too . okay , i 'll see you there . mariah : hi . when you 're done with all your excitement , there 's a couple things that we have to go over for tomorrow 's taping schedule . hilary : rip it up . it is all gon na change . see , that was jordan , and he is going to be doing some work in l.a. , and i 'll be joining him . mariah : come again ? hilary : well , it 's the perfect opportunity for the show to go hollywood . mariah : wait , taping segments with actual show - biz glitterati ? hilary : exactly . mariah : that 's amazing . i love this idea . and i have n't been to california in years . hilary : ohh , uh ... mariah : really ? hilary : i would love for you to come , honey . i would , but i need you here running things . and you have that summer salad spectacular to tape . mariah : oh , right ! while i 'm here , do you also want me to scrub down the bathrooms ? hilary : okay , what is with the snippy attitude ? i thought that you would revel having devon and genoa city all to yourself for the next few days . mariah : while you whisk away to tinseltown to enjoy jordan , among other attractions . hilary : uh - huh . mariah : it 's fine . devon mentioned something about taking the private jet to new york for dinner one night . which reminds me , i just spoke to our budget guy . so do n't expect anything above coach . middle seat , cash bar . hilary : [ sighs ] victoria : nick said that if i want to get billy back , i have to be myself . and the honest truth is , i have n't been . not ever since we found out what dad did with chloe . i 've had to lie , i 've been evasive and distant with billy . nikki : you know , maybe it was a mistake , my suggesting that you tell billy that my ms had flared up again . victoria : mom , i did n't realize it , but it was already too late . billy and phyllis had already gotten back together . i played right into her hands . you know , i would n't be in this position right now if it had n't been for all the horrible things that dad has done . he is the one who 's responsible for this . nikki : do n't you ever forget that you and billy still share a very deep connection . victoria : [ sighs ] that i 'm well aware . we have the kids . we have the business . what does phyllis have to offer billy ? nikki : [ scoffs ] besides the obvious ? victoria : that and a constant reminder of his wrecked relationship with jack . nikki : yeah , well , that situation has n't improved very much , has it ? victoria : i 'm not giving up . i have a small window to make things right , and this trip is it . lying because of dad may have cost me a chance with billy , but i think california might just be the place to get that back . billy : cane , can you and jordan confer about the promos , and , lily , juliet has your wardrobe if you want to take a look . lily : yeah , sure . right away . cane : hey , what 's up ? jordan : since i 'm taking stills and video of lily before and after the commercial , i figured you 'd want to take a look at this list of iconic l.a . spots , places we can use as backdrops . cane : griffith park observatory , malibu beach , rodeo drive , hollywood bowl . jordan : billy says that he wants to hit as many of these places as possible . cane : are you concerned ? jordan : it 's no big deal to me . i 've been on plenty last - minute shoots . you all go in with a pretty ambitious want list . cane : and ? jordan : and the clock is the clock , you know ? the most capable team can only do what they can do . when you 're in this kind of rush , things happen . things go right . things go wrong . cane : yeah , they sure do . well , hey , i know you 'll do your best . lily : i love this . this is very l.a . juliet : is n't it ? lily : mm - hmm . juliet : billy , any thoughts ? billy : lily in any of those ? what 's not to like ? damn it . juliet : anything wrong ? billy : no , i just missed a text . i got to duck out of here for a second . is that all right ? juliet : yeah , we got this . right , lil ? lily : yeah , clothes are fantastic . billy : great . cane , i got to bounce . something came up . i wo n't be long . cane : hold up , hold up . jordan , can we have a second ? jordan : yeah , no problem . cane : all right . listen , i know you 're not concerned with my opinion , but i 'm gon na give it to you anyway . billy : that 's fine . like i said , i got to go . cane : okay , listen , there is still time to do this commercial the right way , okay , with a top director and a schedule that 's not gon na blow the budget , billy . billy : hey , i know where you 're coming from . vicki and i both appreciate your concern . but listen , if you want to go big , you got to make a splash , and we 're gon na big here . i know it 's a risk , but that 's life sometimes . we 're going all in , cane , so stop trying to talk me out of it . cane : okay . that 's exactly what i 'll do . reed : a little more both : da , da - da - da da , da - da - da are we at a funeral ? ! i came for some rock ' n ' roll ! put on a record and she can dance for us ! reed : ... life 's redemption comes in a package for two [ applause ] reed : forget about him . he 's an ass . you were amazing . tessa : good . he finally left . noah : sorry about that jerk , guys . tessa : it 's whatever . noah : hey , reed and tessa ! is it just me or are they gon na be stars ?

jason : you gon na tell me why you went to the cops ? curtis : look , i know you did n't want me to involve law enforcement -- jason : i did n't and you felt the need to talk to the commissioner anyway , so this big information you have better be good . curtis : judge for yourself . jason : what are you about to show me ? curtis : the first step into clearing your boy sonny corinthos .

[ laughs ] of course , it is . because as much i love you , dear brother , and you know that i do , i have never been nor will i ever be your nurse . julian : that much i know . ava : so who 's gon na be taking care of you while i remain distant and slightly amused at your condition ? julian : well , i have someone in mind i think will be , um , perfect for the job . [ scene_break ] nathan : griffin , thanks for meeting us , man . griffin : yeah , of course , what 's going on ? nathan : well , we just got back from wyndemere , tried to shake down valentin , rattle his cage about claudette . griffin : well , did you find out anything ? nathan : nothing useful yet . but maybe if you and i sat down and we talked about everything [ pager beeping ] nathan : that claudette told us about valentin , we could find something to use against him . griffin : yeah , and i 'd be happy to help . let me just check on this , and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . nathan : yeah , yeah , no problem . griffin : hey , thanks again . nathan : of course . dante : hey . nathan : hey . you all right ? dante : yeah , that was rocco 's school . they had a problem with his permission slip for his field trip . nathan : you get it straightened out ? dante : yeah , i did , but they tried to get ahold of lulu first , and they could n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : so dr. bellamy caught you with the file that proves claudette was not charlotte 's biological mother , that she was just a surrogate . dr. bellamy was perfectly calm , perfectly nice , and then he locked us in here . that much we do know . lulu : i ca n't get a signal in here . maxie : what we do n't know is if he knows what we were really looking for and if he 's now calling the cops . or he 's just a total perv . lulu : the longer he leaves us in here , the more nervous i get . maxie : wait a minute , what happened to `` we want him to call the cops so dante and nathan will rescue us and get us out of this situation `` ? lulu : i was in denial . or i was kidding myself . or i was overly optimistic . it all adds up to the same thing . we have to get out of here right now . maxie : okay . hang on a second . oh , my god , we 're really stuck in here ! dr. bellamy : one of them was looking at your daughter 's file . valentin : just to confirm , the paperwork makes clear that claudette was the surrogate , not the biological mother . dr. bellamy : correct . valentin : i guess i 'm gon na have to clean this up sooner than i thought . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu 's still not answering . you get ahold of maxie ? nathan : hold on a second . nothing . straight to voicemail . something 's wrong , man . what do you think is going on ? dante : i do n't know , but whatever they 're doing in new york city has nothing to do with the wedding and everything to do with charlotte . griffin : hey , maxie and lulu came to see me about charlotte . dante : when was this ? griffin : last night . nathan : what did you tell them ? [ scene_break ] maxie : do you have anything even remotely resembling a plan ? lulu : i am thinking . um ... he locked us in here , but he has n't done anything to us yet . maxie : okay , okay , so maybe he does n't really suspect anything . lulu : no . no , there is no chance of that . maxie : okay , you are in a really glass - half - empty kind of mood . lulu : maxie , we are locked in here , which means he definitely did n't buy my story when he caught me with that file , which means he also does n't believe the reason why you 're here . maxie : i 'm sorry . i went through two unnecessary pelvic exams for nothing ? lulu : okay . i am so sorry . so , so sorry , but we have a big problem . dr. bellamy is definitely involved in all of this . so if he 's not calling the police , there is a good chance he 's calling valentin . [ scene_break ] curtis : okay , jordan let me look at additional footage from the street the night morgan took julian 's car . jason : so , wait , you guys have a clear shot of the car from this other camera ? curtis : no , but if anything happened to julian 's car when he went into the floating rib , i have no evidence of it . jason : okay , so what 's this big revelation ? curtis : after i saw what the police had , i realized that that additional surveillance footage came from the drugstore across the street , so i went and chatted up the surprisingly attractive store manager , and i got this footage i have now . jason : awesome , what 's on it ? curtis : watch this . voilà . jason : what am i looking at here ? curtis : well , there 's a homeless man in the area . i 'm willing to bet he was n't interviewed by the cops . jason : oh , yeah . he 's definitely looking in pete 's direction when pete moved away from the car . curtis : and then this dude moves behind the van . fast forward a little bit . moments later , he reappears with a plastic chinese takeout bag . and he dumps it in the far garbage can . and then he vanishes into the night . jason : that is interesting timing . curtis : i thought so . jason : all right , so now we 've got to find this guy or we 've got to find that bag . [ scene_break ] nelle : i am so sorry about the necklace . you know , yesterday was the first time i even realized it was gone . sonny : wait , wait , it 's not the necklace , it 's what it represents . can we sit down for a second ? nelle : yeah . sonny : um ... [ sighs ] okay , i slept with you and i should n't have . and now we have to deal with the consequences . nelle : yeah , i know . i mean , the truth is , sonny , ever since we slept together -- and seeing carly every day -- i mean , it 's been really rough , you know ? i have to brace myself every time i go into work just because i feel so guilty . and i 'm sure you feel a billion times worse . sonny : i feel very guilty . nelle : i mean , it 's pretty obvious that you and carly have a very strong connection . sonny : we 've had a connection -- we even have a connection when we 're not together . nelle : which is so beautiful . you know ? most people , even happy people , do n't have a connection like that , which is why i 'm not able to sleep at night . the thought that if carly were to find out that we slept together , that that connection might be damaged beyond repair . sonny : yeah , that 's why you 're not gon na say anything , right ? nelle : no , no , no , no . i mean , we decided that it was best for carly and that that would hurt her , of course . no , we have to keep this a secret . yeah , i promise . sonny : well , i need to take you at your word here . nelle : sonny , i swear i 'm not gon na hurt you or carly or your family , okay ? sonny : good , good , good . so , you know , that 's why -- the reason why i called you here .

[ scene_break ] griffin : maxie and lulu came by last night and wanted to see charlotte 's birth certificate . i had a copy on my phone , so i showed it to them . dante : did they say anything about it ? griffin : not really , and i was in the middle of six things , so i did n't have time to say much more . but , uh -- dante : but what ? griffin : lulu , she , uh -- i remember she seemed , i do n't know how to describe it , like driven , anxious , eager , very determined . dante : can i see the picture ? griffin : yeah . dante : of the birth certificate ? griffin : sure . sure . there you go . dante : charlotte was born in new york city , attending doctor was a guy named bellamy . griffin : right , so ? dante : have you heard back from maxie yet ? nathan : i 've called , i 've texted -- i got nothing . dante : okay . thank you . we got to look up that doctor 's address on the way to the airport . we 've got to get the next flight to new york . [ scene_break ] dr. bellamy : well , i must say , you two are very good hostages . you 've stayed reasonably quiet , you have n't broken anything or started yelling for help . maxie : yeah , not our first rodeo . lulu : you should be made aware that my husband and my friend 's fiancé are both detectives with the port charles pd . maxie : mm - hmm . dr. bellamy : well , that 's very charming . i 'm sure you 've tried to call them and you 've noticed the room is a dead spot . mm - hmm . it 's also rather soundproof . i would say go ahead and start screaming , but i 'll be able to hear you in the next room , and it will annoy me . lulu : i 'm sorry . what part of detective husband and fiancé do you not understand ? you are gon na need to let us go before you get into any more trouble . dr. bellamy : if anyone is in trouble here , it 's you two . you came here under false pretenses and broke into confidential files . fortunately , all you need to do to resolve this is sit tight . maxie : oh , oh ! lulu : ahh . maxie : okay , okay , okay . all right . okay . walls are soundproof , there 's no cell reception , that pretty much translates to `` no help is coming . `` so it 's on us to get ourselves out of here . okay . lulu : what are you doing ? maxie : getting weapons .

[ laughs ] of course , it is . because as much i love you , dear brother , and you know that i do , i have never been nor will i ever be your nurse . julian : that much i know . ava : so who 's gon na be taking care of you while i remain distant and slightly amused at your condition ? julian : well , i have someone in mind i think will be , um , perfect for the job . [ scene_break ] nathan : griffin , thanks for meeting us , man . griffin : yeah , of course , what 's going on ? nathan : well , we just got back from wyndemere , tried to shake down valentin , rattle his cage about claudette . griffin : well , did you find out anything ? nathan : nothing useful yet . but maybe if you and i sat down and we talked about everything [ pager beeping ] nathan : that claudette told us about valentin , we could find something to use against him . griffin : yeah , and i 'd be happy to help . let me just check on this , and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . nathan : yeah , yeah , no problem . griffin : hey , thanks again . nathan : of course . dante : hey . nathan : hey . you all right ? dante : yeah , that was rocco 's school . they had a problem with his permission slip for his field trip . nathan : you get it straightened out ? dante : yeah , i did , but they tried to get ahold of lulu first , and they could n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : so dr. bellamy caught you with the file that proves claudette was not charlotte 's biological mother , that she was just a surrogate . dr. bellamy was perfectly calm , perfectly nice , and then he locked us in here . that much we do know . lulu : i ca n't get a signal in here . maxie : what we do n't know is if he knows what we were really looking for and if he 's now calling the cops . or he 's just a total perv . lulu : the longer he leaves us in here , the more nervous i get . maxie : wait a minute , what happened to `` we want him to call the cops so dante and nathan will rescue us and get us out of this situation `` ? lulu : i was in denial . or i was kidding myself . or i was overly optimistic . it all adds up to the same thing . we have to get out of here right now . maxie : okay . hang on a second . oh , my god , we 're really stuck in here ! dr. bellamy : one of them was looking at your daughter 's file . valentin : just to confirm , the paperwork makes clear that claudette was the surrogate , not the biological mother . dr. bellamy : correct . valentin : i guess i 'm gon na have to clean this up sooner than i thought . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu 's still not answering . you get ahold of maxie ? nathan : hold on a second . nothing . straight to voicemail . something 's wrong , man . what do you think is going on ? dante : i do n't know , but whatever they 're doing in new york city has nothing to do with the wedding and everything to do with charlotte . griffin : hey , maxie and lulu came to see me about charlotte . dante : when was this ? griffin : last night . nathan : what did you tell them ? [ scene_break ] maxie : do you have anything even remotely resembling a plan ? lulu : i am thinking . um ... he locked us in here , but he has n't done anything to us yet . maxie : okay , okay , so maybe he does n't really suspect anything . lulu : no . no , there is no chance of that . maxie : okay , you are in a really glass - half - empty kind of mood . lulu : maxie , we are locked in here , which means he definitely did n't buy my story when he caught me with that file , which means he also does n't believe the reason why you 're here . maxie : i 'm sorry . i went through two unnecessary pelvic exams for nothing ? lulu : okay . i am so sorry . so , so sorry , but we have a big problem . dr. bellamy is definitely involved in all of this . so if he 's not calling the police , there is a good chance he 's calling valentin . [ scene_break ] curtis : okay , jordan let me look at additional footage from the street the night morgan took julian 's car . jason : so , wait , you guys have a clear shot of the car from this other camera ? curtis : no , but if anything happened to julian 's car when he went into the floating rib , i have no evidence of it . jason : okay , so what 's this big revelation ? curtis : after i saw what the police had , i realized that that additional surveillance footage came from the drugstore across the street , so i went and chatted up the surprisingly attractive store manager , and i got this footage i have now . jason : awesome , what 's on it ? curtis : watch this . voilà . jason : what am i looking at here ? curtis : well , there 's a homeless man in the area . i 'm willing to bet he was n't interviewed by the cops . jason : oh , yeah . he 's definitely looking in pete 's direction when pete moved away from the car . curtis : and then this dude moves behind the van . fast forward a little bit . moments later , he reappears with a plastic chinese takeout bag . and he dumps it in the far garbage can . and then he vanishes into the night . jason : that is interesting timing . curtis : i thought so . jason : all right , so now we 've got to find this guy or we 've got to find that bag .

gwen : i can not do this . i ca n't take little ethan away from theresa . rebecca : what are you talking about ? you just said you would . gwen : yeah , i know . mother , it is not right to take little ethan away from his mother , ok ? rebecca : have you forgotten that theresa is the reason why you are never going to be anybody 's mother ? gwen : no , i have not forgotten . rebecca : she instigated that fight with you in los angeles when she knew that you were having a difficult pregnancy , and that 's what caused you to go into labor and lose the baby ! i mean , did n't the doctor just tell you that that 's why you 're never going to have another child ? gwen : yes . rebecca : well , then what is there to feel guilty about ? gwen , how can you even feel a shred of sympathy for that woman ? no , she is a monster and she has got to be stopped , and the only way to do that is to take her son away from her -- permanently . theresa : why did i say that i wished gwen could never have children ? now , how could i have said something so cruel ? fox : well , theresa , rebecca pushed you to the edge by putting down little ethan . plus you had no idea that gwen just went to the hospital and found out she could n't have children . theresa : poor gwen . you know , i ca n't imagine what it would be like to be told that i could n't have children . and if little ethan was n't in my life -- fox : she 's got to be hurting right now . theresa : yeah . maybe there 's something that we can do to help her . fox : what are we going to do to help her , theresa ?

i do n't want to do it . rebecca : gwen , you are just not thinking straight . gwen : no . i just could n't do that to another woman . rebecca : gwen , theresa is not another woman . she is a monster . gwen : yeah , well , she 's a mother , ok ? little ethan is her child , and i can not in good conscience take him away from her . rebecca : you know what ? it did n't seem to bother theresa 's conscience when she deliberately started that fight with you in los angeles knowing you were having a difficult pregnancy . yeah , and it did n't seem to bother theresa when she knocked you down , causing you to lose your baby . i mean , gwen , for god 's sake , the woman killed your child and she has killed any chance you have of having another one , or have you forgotten that ? gwen : no , mother , i just told you i have n't forgotten . and one day she is going to pay . i mean , believe me , one day theresa 's going to pay for everything she 's done . theresa : i want to pay gwen back for all the pain that i 've caused her . fox : by helping her find a way to get pregnant , theresa ? how are you going to do that ? theresa : i could -- i could go on the internet and i could research . i could -- i could find a doctor who 's discovered some kind of new treatment that maybe gwen 's doctor has n't found out yet , you know . maybe i could find him in europe or something . fox : i think that your wanting to help is admirable . really , theresa , i do . but right now , i think the best thing for you to do is to just listen to what ethan told you and stay away from them . theresa : i just -- i ca n't walk away from the pain that i 've caused . fox : i know that you 're anxious to help , theresa , but now is just -- it 's not the right time , ok ? so why do n't you come with me and take you home ? theresa : ok . i just -- i have to say good night to little ethan one last time , give him a quick kiss . it 's just after i heard about gwen , you know , it made me realize how lucky i am to have my son , and it 's made me more determined than ever to get him back , you know , back with me where he belongs . fox : ok . all right , look , what if ethan sees you , huh ? or gwen ? or rebecca , for that matter ? rebecca 's got a restraining order against you . the only reason she did n't have you thrown off the estate before was because i told her that we were dating and that you were with me , theresa . theresa : i know , i know . they 're not going to see me . i 'm going to be really careful , i promise . fox : ugh . all right , look . ok . go say good night to little ethan one last time , theresa , and i 'll pull the car around . but , look , do me a favor , ok ? do n't let anybody see you , all right , especially gwen . it could really upset her . theresa : ok . i 'll slip in and i 'll slip right out . no one will even know i was in the mansion . fox : all right . hope not . beth : could n't you have stopped sheridan from talking to luis ? i mean , she is your wife . antonio : look , sheridan says she wants to be with me and that she loves me . now , i have no reason not to believe her . beth : yeah , but you know how persuasive luis can be . antonio : i put my trust in sheridan , ok ?

when i found out gwen was pregnant , i had this idea -- well , we were wondering whether it was going to be a boy or a girl , but if it was a girl , i had this crazy idea that maybe you and she could getogether , maybe get married , and give me grandchildren . but i know that 's not going to happen now . sarah 's gone , and i 'll never have another daughter for you to get to know . theresa : i 'm sorry for everything that 's happened . i know how much you wanted to have children . ethan : come on , come on . theresa : what -- what -- what is wrong ?

alistair : dr. ackland is an expert in the field of psychiatry . the treatment he gave sheridan was nothing short of electrifying . it enabled her to dig deep and find her emotional center -- i 'm quoting him , of course -- and she realized you 're the man in her heart , antonio , her true love . ok , now i have a meeting , but i 'm sure i 'll be seeing the both of you soon and i wish you the very best of luck . beth : thank you , alistair . alistair : there 's only one thing i ask of you , antonio -- make my daughter happy . antonio : i intend to . alistair : hmm . of course you do . beth : well , this is -- this is good news , is n't it ? antonio : yeah . yeah , it is . it 's just i do have to admit , though , i was a little surprised when sheridan made the decision to stay with me . beth : why ? i mean , she fell in love with you on that island . and like alistair said , the treatment that she got just made her remember that love . antonio : which is why i admitted her into the hospital in the first place -- so she could get away from the pressure that luis was putting on her and maybe she could remember what she and i shared on st . lisa 's . beth : and she did , so this is a happy ending . antonio : it is , but i ca n't help but wonder , though . beth : wonder about what ? antonio : what luis said in regard to alistair and dr . ackland maybe doing something to change her mind , doing something to make her want to stay with me . do you think luis was right ? beth : no . no , antonio . i mean , alistair would never do something like that to his own daughter . antonio : ok . good , i hope not , because i would n't want to think that sheridan made the decision to stay with me just because of some sort of deceit or trickery . beth : look , dr . ackland just made sure that sheridan had time to figure out who she was . and like alistair said , she found her emotional center -- you . antonio : oh , enough about me . what about you , beth ? so do you -- do you see a future with luis , you anhihim together ? luis : i 'll never accept that you 're with antonio . sheridan : you have to . luis : no . alistair and ackland did something to you in that psych ward . sheridan : luis -- luis : alistair despises me . he does n't want to see us together , so he engineered this whole plan . he convinced antonio to have you admitted to the psych ward , he had ackland give you some kind of treatment to -- to make you forget about our love and choose antonio . that 's the only explanation , sheridan . he had you brainwashed ! alistair : you 're so right , luis . sheridan was brainwashed . what you do n't know is you 'll never be able to undo what 's been done . she 's going to spend the rest of her life with antonio , and thers s not a damn thing you can do about it . in i did n't know . one person 's about to find out what happened and who 's responsible . kevin newman questions the prime minister on the sponsorship scandal . including questions you submitted . it 's on global national tonight . theresa : my beautiful boy . if only ethan had been your father , not julian . if only i had made different choices in my life , not lied so many times or gone to bermuda to talk to julian . ethan 's not the only one who 's into `` if onlys . `` my whole life is one big `` if only . `` except for you . you 're the one thing that i did right . you 're the one true thing in my life . if i did n't have you -- but i do and i always will . i love you so much . and one day you 're going to come home with me , ok ? i promise . ethan : you got the flowers . gwen : yeah , i was just about to read your card . ethan : no , honey , there 's no need to -- gwen : oh , god , ethan . ethan : honey , i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i arranged for you to get the flowers before we went to the doctor . i did n't know . i 'm sorry . rebecca : `` to my beautiful wife , the mother of my children . `` damn theresa . damn her to hell . dr. ackland : mr. crane . alistair : working late , i see . dr. ackland : yes . what do you want ? what 's that ? alistair : a bonus for a job well done . dr. ackland : just wish i 'd -- alistair : what ? dr. ackland : i just wish i 'd had more time with sheridan in the shock therapy room . alistair : whatever you did , it worked . sheridan chose antonio . dr. ackland : i know . alistair : you made her forget her love for luis . that 's what i asked you to do . mission accomplished . dr. ackland : yeah -- alistair : all without me having to kill sheridan . you may think i 'm cold , ackland , but no father wants to be forced to take the life of his own daughter . dr. ackland : yeah , and she did choose antonio , did n't she ? ahem . alistair : something wrong , ackland ? dr. ackland : no . alistair : you 're acting very strange . what are n't you telling me ? dr. ackland : nothing . alistair : do n't insult my intelligence . tell me . dr. ackland : as i said , i just wish i 'd had more time with sheridan in the shock therapy room . alistair : why ? you 're holding something back . what ? is there a possibility sheridan could change her mind , go back to luis ? sheridan : no . luis , i was not brainwashed . luis : all right , whatever you want to call it , something happened , sheridan , and alistair was behind it . sheridan : ok , i know that my father has been involved in some underhanded schemes before -- luis : `` underhanded `` ? sheridan , he 's tried to kill you . he 's tried to kill both of us several times . sheridan , he will do anything to keep us apart , including brainwashing you into thinking that you love my brother . sheridan : but i do love him . luis : no , you do n't , sheridan . why ca n't you see that ? alistair bought dr . ackland off , and he made him do god only knows what to you . sheridan : all dr . ackland did was give me peace . he helped me to look inside of myself and to see what it is that i really wanted . luis : antonio ? no , sheridan , you do n't want that . sheranan : why ca n't i make you believe that i do ? luis : because of this . luis : sheridan , how can you forget about that ? how can you forget about everything that we 've shared ? ethan : i am so sorry . gwen : honey , it 's all right . i know you arranged for the flowers before we heard the news . it 's ok . ethan : i just wanted to show you how much i care . gwen : i know . that means the world to me . ethan : when i remembered what i 'd written on the card , i was -- gwen : it 's fine . honey , it 's ok . i 'll be fine . ethan : can i get you a glass of water ? gwen : yes , please . ethan : ok . rebecca : this is all theresa 's fault . you can not let her get away with this . gwen : well , she 's not going to get away with it . you can count on that . rebecca : good . you 're finally starting to sound angry . gwen : mother , i am so angry right now that i swear to god , if i saw her tonight , i would kill her with my own bare hands . you know what ? and no jury in its right mind would even convict me . fox : theresa , yes . finally . i was getting worried . theresa : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i came the back way . fox : i thought you were just going to tuck little ethan in . what happened ? theresa : i did . i just got held up . x : x : held up ? what happened ? did gwen see you ? theresa : no , no , but ethan did . fox : great . what did he say ? theresa : he was n't very happy . fox : i would imagine that he would n't be . look , at least you 're out of there now , huh ? let 's hit it . theresa : ok . oh , god . wait . fox : what ? theresa : my picture -- it 's not where it belongs . fox : ok , what the hell are we talking about here ? theresa : ok . little ethan , he 's got this picture of me by his bedside so when he wakes up in the morning , i 'm the first thing that he sees . well , it was n't there . the maid must have moved it . i 've got to put it back where it belongs . fox : no , theresa , are you crazy ? you ca n't go back in there . theresa : no , no , no . fox , i have to put the picture back . ok , i 'm not with little ethan when he wakes up in the morning , so at least he has this picture of me when he opens up his eyes , ok ? fox : listen , if you go back in there , you 're asking for trouble , ok ? theresa : i have to do this . fox : theresa -- if gwen finds you in there , she 's going to kill you . gwen : thank you . ethan : is there anything else i can get you ? gwen : i 'm fine . thank you . ethan : all right . listen , i think we should go up to bed . it 's been a long day . gwen : yeah , it 's been a very bad day . rebecca : why do n't you drop in on little ethan on your way ? gwen : good night , mother . rebecca : or you could give the little darling a nighty - night kiss . ethan : we will . good night . rebecca : hmm . i almost wish theresa was here . that way , gwen would have the opportunity to kill her . theresa : all right . i 'm just going to put the picture back in its place and get out . gwen will never know i was here . alistair : you 're not being forthcoming , doctor . dr. ackland : it 's difficult to explain . alistair : simplify it for me , and leave nothing out . i want to know exactly what 's going on . dr. ackland : i ca n't be certain . alistair : you 're trying my patience . yes or no ? is there some way luis could persuade sheridan to come back to him ? dr. ackland : no , no . that 's not possible . alistair : well , then let 's talk about what is possible . dr. ackland : as i said before , it 's a question of time . alistair : time ? dr. ackland : yes . when i was working with sheridan in the shock therapy room , i was working on making her forget her love for luis . alistair : and you told me you 'd succeeded . dr. ackland : yes . but i do n't know if i had enough time to make her forget about beth 's baby . alistair : beth 's baby ? dr. ackland : yes . i 'm not -- i 'm not certain that i made sheridan forget that she thinks beth 's baby is hers . alistair : ugh . are you telling me that if sheridan were to come into contact with beth wallace 's child , she could remember her connection to luis ? dr. ackland : that 's exactly what i 'm telling you . alistair : remember everything ? dr. ackland : yes . alistair : damn ! luis : you ca n't tell me that you do n't remember the love we shared now . sheridan : luis , i told you i 've made my decision . luis : but the kiss . sheridan , do n't tell me that that did n't mean anything to you . you ca n't tell me that you do n't remember the love we shared . sheridan : yes , i remember our love , but that 's in the past . i 'm married to antonio now , and i am going to stay with him . luis : sheridan , this is insanity . sheridan : i -- i 'm sorry . luis : i 'll never accept that you 're with him . sheridan : you know what ? i just should 've never talked to you . i thought i could make things better for you , but i was wrong . luis : just -- sheridan , just hold on a second , all right ? just -- just wait . what about our baby ? you remember how we bonded over that , do n't you ? sheridan : yes . luis : and how you were kidnapped ? sheridan : yes . luis : and you remember that our baby is gone , right ? sheridan : i remember that our child died . luis : well -- all right , what about beth 's baby ? sheridan : beth 's baby . luis : do you still think that beth 's baby is yours ? sheridan : beth 's baby . sheridan : i knew you were my baby . yes . beth 's baby . theresa : ok . there you go , sweetheart . mommy 's going to watch over you all night and be the first thing that you see when you wake up in the morning . ethan : you 're tired . gwen : yeah , it 's been a really long day . theresa : oh , no . ethan : look , i 'm sure little ethan is sound asleep , so why do n't we just go on in to bed ? gwen : skip saying good night to him ? ethan : he wo n't even know wewe were there . gwen : all right . it will be nice to get under the covers . ethan : yeah . come on . gwen : ok . theresa : ok , that was close . sweetheart , mommy 's got to go , ok , but i 'll see you tomorrow , i promise . have sweet dreams . theresa : gwen . gwen : hi . hi , theresa . yeah , it 's me . theresa : i 'm sorry for everything that 's happened . gwen : yeah , so am i . that 's why i 'm going to kill you . antonio : you know , i just thought of something . sheridan has n't even mentioned your baby ever since she got out of the hospital . beth : why should she ? antonio : i 'm just wondering if she still thinks that your baby is hers and luis ' . beth : well , i do n't know . what are you getting at , antonio ? antonio : i 'm not saying that this is going to happen . i 'm -- i 'm just saying once she sees your baby , what if she reverts back to the confused state that she was in before she went into the psych ward ? beth : are you saying that the sight of my baby could trigger something that would make her want to go back with luis ? antonio : no , no , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . look , i know for a fact that sheridan and i -- i know she thinks we belong together . beth : you have to leave harmony , antonio . antonio : have to what ? beth : you have to take sheridan and leave , go back to the islands , because we can not take a chance of her seeing my baby and then thinking that she needs to be with luis . alistair : how in the hell could you allow this to happen ? dr. ackland : as i said , it was a question of time . alistair : are you absolutely sure sheridan could remember her love for luis if she sees beth 's baby ? dr. ackland : i suppose it could depend on the scenario . alistair : all right , then . give me all the possible scenarios involving sheridan , luis , and beth 's baby . dr. ackland : it 's simple . if sheridan sees beth 's baby , it could precipitate a severe emotional shock that would result in the destruction of everything we accomplished in the shock therapy room . alistair : in other words -- dr . ackland : yeah . in other words , if sheridan sees beth 's baby , she could remember her love for luis , ok ? alistair : that ca n't happen ! never ! luis : sheridan ? sheridan , what 's happening ? sheridan : beth 's baby . luis : yes ? sheridan : my baby . luis : that 's the key , is n't it ? sheridan : key ? luis : beth 's baby is the key to making you remember our love . | sheridan talks to luis outside the restaurant while the assassin hired by alistair takes aim . the assassination is called off when sheridan tells luis that she intends to stay with antonio . dr. ackland tells alistair there is no guarantee that sheridan will continue to forget about her love for luis , and that if she comes in contact with `` beth 's baby `` she may regain her memory . | <s>[INST] little ethan : go away ! go -- go away .

gwen : i can not do this . i ca n't take little ethan away from theresa . rebecca : what are you talking about ? you just said you would . gwen : yeah , i know . mother , it is not right to take little ethan away from his mother , ok ? rebecca : have you forgotten that theresa is the reason why you are never going to be anybody 's mother ? gwen : no , i have not forgotten . rebecca : she instigated that fight with you in los angeles when she knew that you were having a difficult pregnancy , and that 's what caused you to go into labor and lose the baby ! i mean , did n't the doctor just tell you that that 's why you 're never going to have another child ? gwen : yes . rebecca : well , then what is there to feel guilty about ? gwen , how can you even feel a shred of sympathy for that woman ? no , she is a monster and she has got to be stopped , and the only way to do that is to take her son away from her -- permanently . theresa : why did i say that i wished gwen could never have children ? now , how could i have said something so cruel ? fox : well , theresa , rebecca pushed you to the edge by putting down little ethan . plus you had no idea that gwen just went to the hospital and found out she could n't have children . theresa : poor gwen . you know , i ca n't imagine what it would be like to be told that i could n't have children . and if little ethan was n't in my life -- fox : she 's got to be hurting right now . theresa : yeah . maybe there 's something that we can do to help her . fox : what are we going to do to help her , theresa ? theresa : i do n't know . you know , maybe there 's a way . i mean , they do amazing things in medicine these days , right ? i mean , maybe we can find a doctor who can help gwen have more children , you know ? maybe there 's a new treatment out there or there 's some kind of operation . i mean , we can help her , fox , ok ? there 's got to be a way . antonio : hey , beth . where 'd sheridan and luis go ? beth : outside to talk . antonio : about what ? beth : i do n't know . sheridan said she had something important to tell luis . antonio : maybshshe wants to tell him that it 's over between them . beth : yeah , maybe . but what if he changes her mind ? what if he gets her to go back with him ? luis : so what do you want to talk about ? sheridan : i 'm sorry , luis . i 'm so sorry for what you 're going through . it should n't be like this . it should n't be like this at all . luis : i knew it . sheridan , i knew that you would remember . we 're going to be together the way we 're supposed to be . oh . man : you two will never be together -- never . 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 d rebecca : gwen , this is the opportunity of a lifetime . i mean , you get to gain a son and ruin an enemy . gwen : no , mother . rebecca : no , we are going to start the adoption process first thing in the morning . gwen : did you not hear what i said ? i do n't want to do it . rebecca : gwen , you are just not thinking straight . gwen : no . i just could n't do that to another woman . rebecca : gwen , theresa is not another woman . she is a monster . gwen : yeah , well , she 's a mother , ok ? little ethan is her child , and i can not in good conscience take him away from her . rebecca : you know what ? it did n't seem to bother theresa 's conscience when she deliberately started that fight with you in los angeles knowing you were having a difficult pregnancy . yeah , and it did n't seem to bother theresa when she knocked you down , causing you to lose your baby . i mean , gwen , for god 's sake , the woman killed your child and she has killed any chance you have of having another one , or have you forgotten that ? gwen : no , mother , i just told you i have n't forgotten . and one day she is going to pay . i mean , believe me , one day theresa 's going to pay for everything she 's done . theresa : i want to pay gwen back for all the pain that i 've caused her . fox : by helping her find a way to get pregnant , theresa ? how are you going to do that ? theresa : i could -- i could go on the internet and i could research . i could -- i could find a doctor who 's discovered some kind of new treatment that maybe gwen 's doctor has n't found out yet , you know . maybe i could find him in europe or something . fox : i think that your wanting to help is admirable . really , theresa , i do . but right now , i think the best thing for you to do is to just listen to what ethan told you and stay away from them . theresa : i just -- i ca n't walk away from the pain that i 've caused . fox : i know that you 're anxious to help , theresa , but now is just -- it 's not the right time , ok ? so why do n't you come with me and take you home ? theresa : ok . i just -- i have to say good night to little ethan one last time , give him a quick kiss . it 's just after i heard about gwen , you know , it made me realize how lucky i am to have my son , and it 's made me more determined than ever to get him back , you know , back with me where he belongs . fox : ok . all right , look , what if ethan sees you , huh ? or gwen ? or rebecca , for that matter ? rebecca 's got a restraining order against you . the only reason she did n't have you thrown off the estate before was because i told her that we were dating and that you were with me , theresa . theresa : i know , i know . they 're not going to see me . i 'm going to be really careful , i promise . fox : ugh . all right , look . ok . go say good night to little ethan one last time , theresa , and i 'll pull the car around . but , look , do me a favor , ok ? do n't let anybody see you , all right , especially gwen . it could really upset her . theresa : ok . i 'll slip in and i 'll slip right out . no one will even know i was in the mansion . fox : all right . hope not . beth : could n't you have stopped sheridan from talking to luis ? i mean , she is your wife . antonio : look , sheridan says she wants to be with me and that she loves me . now , i have no reason not to believe her . beth : yeah , but you know how persuasive luis can be . antonio : i put my trust in sheridan , ok ? beth : oh , no . antonio : i 'll go out there . alistair : no need . beth : alistair . antonio : what are you doing here ? alistair : making certain luis and sheridan never get back together . man : i have them in my sights . do you want me to take them down ? alistair : excuse me a moment . alistair : your orders remain the same . if you have evidence that my daughter has remembered her love for luis , that they 're getting ba together , then you are to take sheridan down . kill her immediately . luis : ooh . i love you so much . thank god that you 've come back to me . it was just all a mistake . man : you 're a fool , sheridan . you should 've stayed with the other brother . ethan : i never imagined a life without children . i always thought i 'd have a big family , a bunch of kids running around . gwen and i have talked about having six . six . enough for a whole basketball team . that 's not going to happen now . and i have to accept it . it 's -- it 's just not easy . i had all these pictures in my mind -- me holdingy y kids in my arms and cheering them on at little league games , music recitals , school plays . you know me , the stereotypical dad with the -- the video camera taking pictures of everything . memories that will never be . you want to hear something crazy ? when i found out gwen was pregnant , i had this idea -- well , we were wondering whether it was going to be a boy or a girl , but if it was a girl , i had this crazy idea that maybe you and she could getogether , maybe get married , and give me grandchildren . but i know that 's not going to happen now . sarah 's gone , and i 'll never have another daughter for you to get to know . theresa : i 'm sorry for everything that 's happened . i know how much you wanted to have children . ethan : come on , come on . theresa : what -- what -- what is wrong ? ethan : why are you still here ? you need to get out . get out of this house . sheridan : no , luis . i 'm sorry , but you 've got it all wrong . man : what -- what 's she doing ? luis : got what all wrong ? sheridan : i did n't come here to talk to you about us or our relationship or getting back together . i just wanted to say that i 'm sorry and that i hope you understand . luis : understand what ? sheridan : that i 'm not leaving antonio . i 'm not coming back to you . luis : you 're not leaving antonio ? sheridan : he 's my husband . he 's the man that i 'm going to be with . alistair : you 're sure that 's what 's happening ? you could n't be mistaken ? man : the guy looks like he 's been kicked in the guts . she 's dumped him . alistair : good . in that case , abort . man : yes , sir . alistair : i 'll be in touch . luis : sheridan , i do n't know where you 're coming from with this , but it is n't right . sheridan : no , luis -- luis : no , sheridan , this is n't you ! come on , you would never turn your back on us and you would never willingly choose antonio over me . sheridan : he 's my husband . luis : yeah , damn it , sheridan , we -- we made love the other day . you know , it did n't seem to bother you then . sheridan , you said that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together . do you remember that ? sheridan : i have n't forgotten . i know what we had . i know the love that we once shared . luis : no , not `` once `` -- now . sheridan , we still have that . sheridan : we shared a great love once , but that is in the past . i am married to antonio now . and i am going to make my marriage work . please , luis , you have to accept that . luis : what , i 'm just supposed to shrug it off ? `` ok , she 's married to my brother . she 's going to spend the rest of her life with him `` ? sheridan : i am . luis : no . i wo n't accept it . i love you , sheridan , and i -- i 'm never going to let you go . < 6vw ñ singer : you are my passion for life theresa : why are you so angry with me , ethan ?

theresa : because i wanted to give my son a kiss good night . ethan : then do it and go . theresa : i heard what you said to him just now . ethan : theresa , please , just -- theresa : i feel terrible about everything that 's happened , and i know how much you and gwen -- you wanted to have children . and it would just break my heart to think that i had anything to do with gwen not being able to conceive -- ethan : stop . i am to blame as much as you are for what happened to gwen . my attraction to you , my inability to stay away from you -- it all led to what happened in l.a. -- losing her baby and now not being able to ever have children . theresa : oh , ethan -- ethan : i just -- i do n't know . maybe if we never had met and you had n't dropped that paint on me , i -- theresa : well , that 's a big `` if only , `` and i 'm sorry that you feel that way . ethan : no , theresa , look , that 's -- it 's the past . i have to concern myself with the present right here , and i 'm worried about my wife , ok ? gwen has gone through hell because she loves me , and it 's tearing me up . theresa : ethan -- ethan : she loves me , and all i can do is give herririef . theresa : i 'm sorry . ethan : i know . i know you 're sorry . i 've heard you say it enough . you 're sorry . but it just does n't change anything , and i need you to go . oh -- the flowers . theresa : what -- what flowers ? ethan : i arranged for gwen to get flowers tonight , and i had no idea the doctor was going to give us the news that he gave us . theresa : the flowers will make gwen feel better . ethan : no , it 's the card . she ca n't read the -- listen , you need to go . theresa : ok . ethan : and whatever you do , do n't let gwen see y , , ok ? i have to stop her from reading that card . theresa : ok . rebecca : these just arrived ? gwen : yes . do n't they smell heavenly ? rebecca : hmm . who are they from ? gwen : well , the maid said the deliveryman asked for me , so i guess they 're from ethan . he always knows what to do when i 'm hurting . beth : you 're sure ? alistair : i do n't make pronouncements of which i 'm not certain . beth : so sheridan is n't going back to luis . it 's -- it 's over between them . alistair : correct on both counts . antonio : and you 're positive about that ? alistair : i had no idea you two were such skeptics , if not borderline pessimists . beth : no , it 's just that i 've heard this before and then something happens and , boom , they 're right back together again . alistair : that wo n't be the case this time , i assure you . antonio : well , how can you be so sure , alistair ?

antonio : yeah . yeah , it is . it 's just i do have to admit , though , i was a little surprised when sheridan made the decision to stay with me . beth : why ? i mean , she fell in love with you on that island . and like alistair said , the treatment that she got just made her remember that love . antonio : which is why i admitted her into the hospital in the first place -- so she could get away from the pressure that luis was putting on her and maybe she could remember what she and i shared on st . lisa 's . beth : and she did , so this is a happy ending . antonio : it is , but i ca n't help but wonder , though . beth : wonder about what ? antonio : what luis said in regard to alistair and dr . ackland maybe doing something to change her mind , doing something to make her want to stay with me . do you think luis was right ? beth : no . no , antonio . i mean , alistair would never do something like that to his own daughter . antonio : ok . good , i hope not , because i would n't want to think that sheridan made the decision to stay with me just because of some sort of deceit or trickery . beth : look , dr . ackland just made sure that sheridan had time to figure out who she was . and like alistair said , she found her emotional center -- you . antonio : oh , enough about me . what about you , beth ? so do you -- do you see a future with luis , you anhihim together ? luis : i 'll never accept that you 're with antonio . sheridan : you have to . luis : no . alistair and ackland did something to you in that psych ward . sheridan : luis -- luis : alistair despises me . he does n't want to see us together , so he engineered this whole plan . he convinced antonio to have you admitted to the psych ward , he had ackland give you some kind of treatment to -- to make you forget about our love and choose antonio . that 's the only explanation , sheridan . he had you brainwashed ! alistair : you 're so right , luis . sheridan was brainwashed . what you do n't know is you 'll never be able to undo what 's been done . she 's going to spend the rest of her life with antonio , and thers s not a damn thing you can do about it . in i did n't know . one person 's about to find out what happened and who 's responsible . kevin newman questions the prime minister on the sponsorship scandal . including questions you submitted . it 's on global national tonight . theresa : my beautiful boy . if only ethan had been your father , not julian . if only i had made different choices in my life , not lied so many times or gone to bermuda to talk to julian . ethan 's not the only one who 's into `` if onlys . `` my whole life is one big `` if only . `` except for you . you 're the one thing that i did right . you 're the one true thing in my life . if i did n't have you -- but i do and i always will . i love you so much . and one day you 're going to come home with me , ok ? i promise . ethan : you got the flowers . gwen : yeah , i was just about to read your card . ethan : no , honey , there 's no need to -- gwen : oh , god , ethan . ethan : honey , i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i arranged for you to get the flowers before we went to the doctor . i did n't know . i 'm sorry . rebecca : `` to my beautiful wife , the mother of my children . `` damn theresa . damn her to hell . dr. ackland : mr. crane . alistair : working late , i see . dr. ackland : yes . what do you want ? what 's that ? alistair : a bonus for a job well done . dr. ackland : just wish i 'd -- alistair : what ? dr. ackland : i just wish i 'd had more time with sheridan in the shock therapy room . alistair : whatever you did , it worked . sheridan chose antonio . dr. ackland : i know . alistair : you made her forget her love for luis . that 's what i asked you to do . mission accomplished . dr. ackland : yeah -- alistair : all without me having to kill sheridan . you may think i 'm cold , ackland , but no father wants to be forced to take the life of his own daughter . dr. ackland : yeah , and she did choose antonio , did n't she ? ahem . alistair : something wrong , ackland ? dr. ackland : no . alistair : you 're acting very strange . what are n't you telling me ? dr. ackland : nothing . alistair : do n't insult my intelligence . tell me . dr. ackland : as i said , i just wish i 'd had more time with sheridan in the shock therapy room . alistair : why ? you 're holding something back . what ? is there a possibility sheridan could change her mind , go back to luis ? sheridan : no . luis , i was not brainwashed . luis : all right , whatever you want to call it , something happened , sheridan , and alistair was behind it . sheridan : ok , i know that my father has been involved in some underhanded schemes before -- luis : `` underhanded `` ? sheridan , he 's tried to kill you . he 's tried to kill both of us several times . sheridan , he will do anything to keep us apart , including brainwashing you into thinking that you love my brother . sheridan : but i do love him . luis : no , you do n't , sheridan . why ca n't you see that ? alistair bought dr . ackland off , and he made him do god only knows what to you . sheridan : all dr . ackland did was give me peace . he helped me to look inside of myself and to see what it is that i really wanted . luis : antonio ? no , sheridan , you do n't want that . sheranan : why ca n't i make you believe that i do ? luis : because of this . luis : sheridan , how can you forget about that ? how can you forget about everything that we 've shared ? ethan : i am so sorry . gwen : honey , it 's all right . i know you arranged for the flowers before we heard the news . it 's ok . ethan : i just wanted to show you how much i care . gwen : i know . that means the world to me . ethan : when i remembered what i 'd written on the card , i was -- gwen : it 's fine . honey , it 's ok . i 'll be fine . ethan : can i get you a glass of water ? gwen : yes , please . ethan : ok . rebecca : this is all theresa 's fault . you can not let her get away with this . gwen : well , she 's not going to get away with it . you can count on that . rebecca : good . you 're finally starting to sound angry . gwen : mother , i am so angry right now that i swear to god , if i saw her tonight , i would kill her with my own bare hands . you know what ? and no jury in its right mind would even convict me . fox : theresa , yes . finally . i was getting worried . theresa : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i came the back way . fox : i thought you were just going to tuck little ethan in . what happened ? theresa : i did . i just got held up . x : x : held up ? what happened ? did gwen see you ? theresa : no , no , but ethan did . fox : great . what did he say ? theresa : he was n't very happy . fox : i would imagine that he would n't be . look , at least you 're out of there now , huh ? let 's hit it . theresa : ok . oh , god . wait . fox : what ? theresa : my picture -- it 's not where it belongs . fox : ok , what the hell are we talking about here ? theresa : ok . little ethan , he 's got this picture of me by his bedside so when he wakes up in the morning , i 'm the first thing that he sees . well , it was n't there . the maid must have moved it . i 've got to put it back where it belongs . fox : no , theresa , are you crazy ? you ca n't go back in there . theresa : no , no , no . fox , i have to put the picture back . ok , i 'm not with little ethan when he wakes up in the morning , so at least he has this picture of me when he opens up his eyes , ok ? fox : listen , if you go back in there , you 're asking for trouble , ok ? theresa : i have to do this . fox : theresa -- if gwen finds you in there , she 's going to kill you . gwen : thank you . ethan : is there anything else i can get you ? gwen : i 'm fine . thank you . ethan : all right . listen , i think we should go up to bed . it 's been a long day . gwen : yeah , it 's been a very bad day . rebecca : why do n't you drop in on little ethan on your way ? gwen : good night , mother . rebecca : or you could give the little darling a nighty - night kiss . ethan : we will . good night . rebecca : hmm . i almost wish theresa was here . that way , gwen would have the opportunity to kill her . theresa : all right . i 'm just going to put the picture back in its place and get out . gwen will never know i was here . alistair : you 're not being forthcoming , doctor . dr. ackland : it 's difficult to explain . alistair : simplify it for me , and leave nothing out . i want to know exactly what 's going on . dr. ackland : i ca n't be certain . alistair : you 're trying my patience . yes or no ? is there some way luis could persuade sheridan to come back to him ? dr. ackland : no , no . that 's not possible . alistair : well , then let 's talk about what is possible . dr. ackland : as i said before , it 's a question of time . alistair : time ? dr. ackland : yes . when i was working with sheridan in the shock therapy room , i was working on making her forget her love for luis . alistair : and you told me you 'd succeeded . dr. ackland : yes . but i do n't know if i had enough time to make her forget about beth 's baby . alistair : beth 's baby ? dr. ackland : yes . i 'm not -- i 'm not certain that i made sheridan forget that she thinks beth 's baby is hers . alistair : ugh . are you telling me that if sheridan were to come into contact with beth wallace 's child , she could remember her connection to luis ? dr. ackland : that 's exactly what i 'm telling you . alistair : remember everything ? dr. ackland : yes . alistair : damn ! luis : you ca n't tell me that you do n't remember the love we shared now . sheridan : luis , i told you i 've made my decision . luis : but the kiss . sheridan , do n't tell me that that did n't mean anything to you . you ca n't tell me that you do n't remember the love we shared . sheridan : yes , i remember our love , but that 's in the past . i 'm married to antonio now , and i am going to stay with him . luis : sheridan , this is insanity . sheridan : i -- i 'm sorry . luis : i 'll never accept that you 're with him . sheridan : you know what ? i just should 've never talked to you . i thought i could make things better for you , but i was wrong . luis : just -- sheridan , just hold on a second , all right ? just -- just wait . what about our baby ? you remember how we bonded over that , do n't you ? sheridan : yes . luis : and how you were kidnapped ? sheridan : yes . luis : and you remember that our baby is gone , right ? sheridan : i remember that our child died . luis : well -- all right , what about beth 's baby ? sheridan : beth 's baby . luis : do you still think that beth 's baby is yours ? sheridan : beth 's baby . sheridan : i knew you were my baby . yes . beth 's baby . theresa : ok . there you go , sweetheart . mommy 's going to watch over you all night and be the first thing that you see when you wake up in the morning . ethan : you 're tired . gwen : yeah , it 's been a really long day . theresa : oh , no . ethan : look , i 'm sure little ethan is sound asleep , so why do n't we just go on in to bed ? gwen : skip saying good night to him ? ethan : he wo n't even know wewe were there . gwen : all right . it will be nice to get under the covers . ethan : yeah . come on . gwen : ok . theresa : ok , that was close . sweetheart , mommy 's got to go , ok , but i 'll see you tomorrow , i promise . have sweet dreams . theresa : gwen . gwen : hi . hi , theresa . yeah , it 's me . theresa : i 'm sorry for everything that 's happened . gwen : yeah , so am i . that 's why i 'm going to kill you . antonio : you know , i just thought of something . sheridan has n't even mentioned your baby ever since she got out of the hospital . beth : why should she ? antonio : i 'm just wondering if she still thinks that your baby is hers and luis ' . beth : well , i do n't know . what are you getting at , antonio ? antonio : i 'm not saying that this is going to happen . i 'm -- i 'm just saying once she sees your baby , what if she reverts back to the confused state that she was in before she went into the psych ward ? beth : are you saying that the sight of my baby could trigger something that would make her want to go back with luis ? antonio : no , no , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . look , i know for a fact that sheridan and i -- i know she thinks we belong together . beth : you have to leave harmony , antonio . antonio : have to what ? beth : you have to take sheridan and leave , go back to the islands , because we can not take a chance of her seeing my baby and then thinking that she needs to be with luis . alistair : how in the hell could you allow this to happen ? dr. ackland : as i said , it was a question of time . alistair : are you absolutely sure sheridan could remember her love for luis if she sees beth 's baby ? dr. ackland : i suppose it could depend on the scenario . alistair : all right , then . give me all the possible scenarios involving sheridan , luis , and beth 's baby . dr. ackland : it 's simple . if sheridan sees beth 's baby , it could precipitate a severe emotional shock that would result in the destruction of everything we accomplished in the shock therapy room . alistair : in other words -- dr . ackland : yeah . in other words , if sheridan sees beth 's baby , she could remember her love for luis , ok ? alistair : that ca n't happen ! never ! luis : sheridan ? sheridan , what 's happening ? sheridan : beth 's baby . luis : yes ? sheridan : my baby . luis : that 's the key , is n't it ? sheridan : key ? luis : beth 's baby is the key to making you remember our love .Summarize.[/INST]sheridan talks to luis outside the restaurant while the assassin hired by alistair takes aim . the assassination is called off when sheridan tells luis that she intends to stay with antonio . dr. ackland tells alistair there is no guarantee that sheridan will continue to forget about her love for luis , and that if she comes in contact with `` beth 's baby `` she may regain her memory .</s> | 15,245 |

[ lucinda chuckles ] lucinda : i went right to the source , to damian himself . holden : what did you say ? lucinda : basically , uh , beat it . holden : what did he say ? lucinda : the usual . uh , but i think he got the point . holden : i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but if he had gotten your message , there 's no way that he would have taken lily to new york . [ lucinda sighs ] [ scene_break ] luke : i ca n't ask damian for the use of his ships . lily : but he said he 'd do whatever he could to help the foundation . luke : and he already has , getting laudel to support us . but i 'd feel weird asking for anything more . lily : i thought that you were feeling more comfortable with him . luke : i am . i just do n't want him to think that the only reason i care is for his money . lily : sweetie , i do n't think he 'd ever think that . but if you want me to approach him about using one of the grimaldi ships , i will . [ luke scoffs ] luke : dad would be thrilled with that idea . lily : he 's getting used to the idea that damian 's gon na be around for a while . luke : you 're really okay doing this ? lily : i think it 's a sensational idea ! and i think the answer 's gon na be yes . noah : i just hope i get to see you in a sailor outfit .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : well , personally , myself , i liked it better when luke hated damian . and lily , too . holden : yeah . so did i . but he 's made this effort to prove himself , so i got to give credit where credit is due . lucinda : be careful . holden : oh , i will . lily : holden . lucinda : hey . holden : hey . lily : what are you doing here ? holden : i came to pick these up for you . your mother called me , so i decided to save you a trip . lily : aww ! that 's so sweet of you . mm . mother , how are you feeling ? lucinda : i 'm here . i did n't expect you to come in . lily : well , i had to see damian . the boys want to set up a cruise program for sick children , and i asked him about using a grimaldi ship . holden : why did n't luke do it ? lily : he felt uncomfortable . lucinda : but -- you did n't ? lily : why would n't i ? it 's foundation business . holden : what did he say ? lily : they do n't have a ship that they could use . i just called luke and broke the news . holden : you do n't believe him ? lily : why would he lie about something like that ? lucinda : because he 's damian . holden : you think something else might be going on ? lily : i did n't say that . holden : you know people in the shipping industry . why do n't you check it out ? lucinda : oh , good idea ! lily : bad idea . and i want you both to forget you ever even suggested it .

[ gasps ] wow . is that what i think it is ? hilary : my wedding dress ? yes . lauren found it last night . and i just bought the most amazing shoes to go with it . lily : aww . that 's great . hilary : i 'm just so lucky . with the wedding one week away , everything is [ sighs ] finally falling into place . lily : i 'm really happy for you . hilary : have i thanked you yet for all of your help ? because i know it must not be easy on you . lily : it 's not that bad . hilary : i want you to know that devon and i -- we pray every night that you and cane will just ... work it all out . lily : yeah , i ca n't help but think about our own wedding , how happy we were . it 's just hard to believe that things could have ended up the way they have . cane : really ? why is that so hard to believe ? you jumped in bed with another man , and then , last night , i saw you kissing him . lily : no , cane . i did n't -- cane : no , no . it 's too late for regrets . india : you still owe me for last night . devon : what do i owe you ? i do n't remember last night . india : ugh , men love to say that the next morning . but i am not leaving till i get my cash . colin : it 's okay , india . i 'll take care of it . devon : [ sighs ] colin : so , did you earn your money ? india : we did n't have sex . but it makes no difference . i still get the full amount we agreed on . colin : of course . it 's all there . count it , if you wish . so , that 'll be it and , uh , thank you for a most entertaining evening . india : [ chuckles ] devon : colin , what exactly went down here last night ? colin : well , we bade goodbye to your bachelorhood in fine style . judging from the noises coming from that room , you enjoyed every second of it . [ laughs ] devon : are you telling me that i cheated on hilary ? colin : mm - hmm . additional sponsorship jack : oh , so many memories , all of them wonderful . phyllis : the hagia sophia at sunset -- do you remember ? jack : magnificent . i want to get to the basilica cistern this time , as well as the topkapi palace . phyllis : oh , good . definitely . i hear it 's awe - inspiring . jack : you know what 's awe - inspiring ? phyllis : what ? jack : watching you haggle with the vendors at the grand bazaar . those spice merchants did n't stand a chance last time . phyllis : [ laughs ] as much fun as that was , you know what ? i had more fun when we were rained in here last time . this incredible hotel -- we created our private world with the amazing food and massages . jack : well , yeah . i was buttering you up , trying to get you to move in with me . phyllis : well , as much fun and wonderful as all that was , it 's what you said that convinced me . you said , `` you want to make some memories of a great trip or do you want to start a new adventure entirely ? because you and me , red -- `` jack : `` 'cause you and me , red -- you know it 's gon na be a wild ride . `` phyllis : [ laughs ] you remembered . yeah . it has been wild . jack : oh . phyllis : and i am so looking forward to the next chapter . i am . jack : wow . so am i . phyllis : you know , i was very anxious to get out there and hit the shops again . jack : mm , but now ... ? phyllis : i do n't know . all of a sudden , i 'm feeling like maybe there 's some other memories i 'd like to recapture . jack : yeah ? phyllis : mm - hmm . colin : you know what they say about what happens at a bachelor party . devon : no , shut up , colin . there is no way in a million years that i would have sex with a prostitute . colin : you remember sitting about here with the lovely india balanced in your lap while she was undoing the buttons on your shirt ? devon : yeah , i do , but that 's -- that 's all . colin : then you both got up and walked into the bedroom together . devon : [ sighs ] i vaguely remember walking in there with her , and you were still out here with the other girl . the rest of the night 's blank , which makes no sense , 'cause i barely had anything to drink . colin : oh , you were one happy camper . [ chuckles ] and for probably all sorts of great reasons , because you were both having a hell of a time in there . devon : are you serious ? you heard me ? colin : trust me . i ... probably know more about your sexual appetites than i really need to . devon : i do n't understand how i let this happen . colin : look ... [ sighs ] it 's not rocket science . you know , you -- you got a skin full of champagne , really hot looking woman who 's prepared to do pretty much anything to satisfy your desires , and , okay , that 's what she was there for . devon : [ sighs ] colin : no need to be ashamed of it . devon : of course i 'm ashamed of it ! how am i supposed to look my fiancée in the eye ? how are you gon na look jill in the eye ? is this normal stuff for you ? colin : oh , i can look jill in the eye . i mean , i just sat here with the young girl . we had a few laughs , a drink or two . i would never cheat on jill . devon : [ groaning ] oh . colin : i love that woman to death . devon : yeah . and you were able to keep yourself in line last night but i was n't . how the hell does that make any sense ? colin : my boy , there are limits . i 'm married . you 're not , one . it 's okay for a guy to have a bit of fun before he puts that ring on his finger . but women -- well ... [ sighs ] they do n't look at it quite the same way . so i certainly would n't go sharing this with hilary . in fact ... this should be our little secret . lily : cane , you do n't understand . cane : no , i do . i do understand . lily : no . then if you had stuck around a moment longer , you would have seen me push joe away and tell him to not do that again . cane : if you say so . lily : i do n't want to be with joe . i do n't want to . i 've told you that . but you 're doing exactly what i did . you 're jumping to conclusions like i did with lauren . cane : no , no , no , no . the difference is i did n't sleep with lauren . lily : [ sighs ] okay . you have every right to be upset , but you do n't have a right to make our children pay for what i did . cane : i 'm not trying to make our children pay for it . i am trying to -- i 'm trying to look out for them . lily : oh , that is a load of crap . cane : what , you think i 'm enjoying this ? lily : yes . cane : you think i 'm enjoying seeing them hurt like this ? lily : i think there is a small part of you that 's enjoying lording over me that i made a mistake . cane : no , no . that is not true . lily : we 're living in separate places . you want sole custody . tearing them away from me is not what 's best for them and you know that . cane : no . what i know is , is that you did n't stop to think about our relationship and what you were going to do when you threw it all away like that . neil : hey . hey , hey , hey , hey . i know what you two are talking about . you -- do n't you dare talk to my daughter this way . victor : why would you want to leave ? i mean , i want you to stay with the company , son . nick : and why would you want that ? i mean , we 've done this before many times . it 's not a good fit . victor : i think you have changed . i mean , you 're more mature now . nick : so , it 's my fault ? victor : oh , did i say that ? nick : look , this just proves my point . we 've been together for , what , two minutes and we 're doing what we always do . it 's like we take the elevator to the top floor and then lose all ability to communicate . victor : why do you think that is ? nick : well , you never tell me anything , at least anything i want to hear . now , vick and abby -- they seem to be okay with it , but i 'm not . victor : what do you want to know ? nick : well , for starters , no one can understand how you and jack are working together when it 's obvious you 're lying your heads off . and trying to make sense of it in this vacuum will only make me more frustrated , so i 'm gon na walk away , and then we can salvage what relationship we have left . victor : i - i do n't want you to walk away , all right ? so , uh , i 'll answer your questions . devon : `` just lie to her . `` that 's real easy for you to say . you do n't give a damn . it 's not that simple for me , colin . colin : [ sighs ] why not ? devon : why ? 'cause hilary and i have dreamed of having a life together for a really long time . i do n't want to start our marriage off with a lie . i hate myself for what i just did . colin : you might hate yourself a whole lot more if you tell hilary the truth . i mean , you think of what it might do to her . you think of what you stand to lose . and you think of the pain . son , what she does n't know wo n't hurt her . devon : it 's gon na hurt me . i 'm the one that 'd have to walk around keeping a secret like that . colin : well , that did n't seem to be the issue when you were boinking your father 's wife . devon : oh , like hell , colin ! colin : hey . do n't get testy with me . i 'm just telling you what i 've observed . devon : you have no idea what you 've observed . you have no idea what it was like keeping a secret like that from my family . and i ca n't do that again . neil : i expect more out of you . show some class , have some respect , and take your personal issues outside of here , not in my daughter 's place of business . cane : oh , i 'm sorry . so , you -- you would rather i follow your example , the way that you reacted when you found out that your wife was cheating on you ? 'cause i would n't exactly call that a lesson in dignity . and if you want , neil , you can stand there and pretend that you 've gotten over it , but i know for a fact that you have n't . lily : god . my life is such a mess , and i have no one to blame but myself . neil : mm , baby , it takes two , 50 - 50 . lily : no , i just -- i - i had everything a woman could want . i had -- i had a loving husband , two beautiful children , an amazing home with good memories , and i ruined it . i would give anything to have cane and i get back to where we were , but every time we talk , it just makes things worse , every time . neil : oh . i am so sorry . lily : i 'm ashamed , dad . after everything that you 've been through , and you 're still being so kind and understanding . neil : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . you will always be my baby girl , okay ? when you hurt , i hurt . i want to take all your pain away and make it right for you . come here . victor : nicholas , this is the first time that all of my children have been working at my company at the same time . it feels good . and when you stepped in when i could n't be here , that felt very good , more than you realize , okay ? nick : well , i appreciate that . and i was glad to lend a hand . but see , i was hoping for an explanation . maybe you were thinking you were just gon na distract me with your speech instead of revealing the truth . victor : okay . i agree with you . i have not been entirely forthcoming . there 's a reason for that . i had to be careful . but i think i can trust you with the truth . um ... jack abbott fired the first shot . and i do n't mean in the park . i mean that i found out , months ago , that he was seriously trying to take me down and take my company down . so i 've worked tirelessly to prevent that from happening . nick : then you admit it . you are actively working behind his back , despite telling everyone that you needed to work together . victor : did you hear what i just said ? he put up a serious threat to my business , to everything i 've worked for , okay ? and i 'm doing everything in my power to protect my family and my business . phyllis : [ laughs ] jack : i would say this trip is off to a very good start . phyllis : mmm . when you 're right , you 're right . jack : wow . you look at me like that -- i 'm not sure we 're ever gon na make it out of this room . phyllis : is that such a bad thing ? be kind of like our last honeymoon . you were insatiable . jack : how 'bout some room service ? phyllis : i 'm starved ! jack : yeah ? phyllis : hey . you want to feed me some grapes like you did in bed in st. bart 's ? jack : your wish is my command . phyllis : you know , that was an amazing trip , too , i tell you . remember the rainbow we saw on the ocean ? i tell you , i 'd lie there in your arms in the hammock . do n't think i ever wanted to leave , although we spent so much time in bed , i 'm surprised i remember what that -- jack : could we just not talk about st. bart 's ? i 'd rather talk about just about anything else . phyllis : where did that just come from ? jack : you know , the -- the time change is -- [ sighs ] phyllis : really ? jet lag ? that 's why you 're so cranky right now ? jack : i - i do n't mean to be . i -- look , i 'm here with a woman i adore in one of our favorite places on earth . i just want to look forward , a fresh , new start . after everything we 've been through since our wedding , i - i do n't want to dwell on the past . i - i was a different person then . phyllis : you were . and now ... i 'm not sure who you are . nick : dad , you can stop right there , okay ? i do n't need to get sucked in to the next phase of your never - ending feud with jack abbott . victor : you can walk away , if that 's what you want . i do n't think you realize the kind of value you bring to this company . you have an honesty about you , an integrity about you . you know how to bring people together . right now , we need that more than any other time because your two sisters do not get along in the workplace . now , we can survive this little bump in the road . newman - abbott certainly can . but i want more than just survive . i want us to thrive for everyone concerned . get it ? hilary : [ sighs ] neil : you better run for your life , son . she 's gon na decimate you exactly how she decimated me and countless others . hilary : okay , no . that is not true . all right ? i love devon . neil : you love him like you loved me ? i know you want my acceptance . i know that you want my blessings . but i 'm gon na tell you what i 'm gon na give you right now . i 'm gon na wish for you both a lot of pain and a lot of unhappiness . let 's put it like this -- karma 's a bitch . neil : hey . walk of shame ? colin : i , uh , threw a little bachelor party for devon last night . i thought about inviting you , but -- neil : oh , no , no . no need to explain . so , have a good time ? colin : oh , it was a great night . hit the casino and played a bit of poker . i won at devon 's expense . the kid needs a few tips . devon : was n't my night . excuse me . colin : did you get the video ? neil : exactly what i needed . colin : good . neil : i deposited the money into your account . colin : including expenses ? neil : yeah . all of it . colin : well , then , the last 24 hours have been quite lucrative , considering the games of chance , et cetera . neil : glad you 're pleased . colin : so , neil , what about you ? when are you gon na turn that video loose on hilary and scuttle their wedding ? neil : that would be up to devon . [ door opens ] devon : hilary ? hilary : oh , my god . close -- close your eyes . devon : what 's wrong ? hilary : uh ... um ... i ... found my wedding dress . you know what that means . okay . you can open your eyes up . bad luck averted . devon : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to startle you . hilary : oh , god . baby , you look exhausted . [ chuckles ] well , i figured that you would n't get a lot of sleep when you texted me and told me that you were having your bachelor party . devon : yeah . hilary : so , did you have fun ? devon : `` fun `` is n't exactly the word that i would use to describe what happened . nick : i appreciate you saying that . victor : i meant every word , son . you and i may not always see eye to eye , but i respect who you are . and i need you here , now more than ever . you on board ? nick : there 's gon na have to be some ground rules . victor : all right . i 'm listening . jack : i 'm your husband , who wants to build a new future with you . what else matters ? phyllis : i do n't know . why do n't you tell me ? i am trying to get a handle on how you 're feeling . jack : i am feeling happy . i am feeling loved . i am so happy to be in this place with you . phyllis : i am talking about how all over the map you have been for the last few months , like out to lunch . jack : look , red -- phyllis : i - i 'll tell you something . the man that i took the vows with is not the same man that came home with me from st. bart 's . buying expensive cars , sleep talking in spanish , blowing off work to play golf all day . i do n't know . it 's like , all of a sudden , you turn into dr . jekyll and mr. hyde . and i never know if i 'm gon na get the sweet and gentle man who can cuddle for hours in front of a fire or if i 'm gon na get the ... spontaneous , mischievous man who has challenged me to all sorts of crazy things like he did on our honeymoon . skinny dipping under a full moon so all the guest can see -- that is insane , and yet i do n't know if it is the most embarrassing or the most exhilarating thing i have ever done with you . you have taken me completely by surprise , jack . jack : and that 's the man you prefer ? that 's what you 're saying ? hilary : a night out at the casino ? it does n't sound too gruesome . [ chuckles ] did you gamble ? devon : i played a little poker . and , uh , i lost a lot to colin . hilary : oh . he probably cheated . although i guess it 's not that easy when the pit boss is watching your every move . devon : actually , we were n't -- hilary : what else did you do , besides drink way too much ? devon : you know , baby ... last night was n't exactly what i expected it to be . hilary : tell me about it . i got a surprise of my own last night . neil came by . devon : he came here ? to see you ? hilary : yeah . devon : why ? hilary : when i saw him , i was like , `` okay , brace yourself . `` but he surprised me . i mean , he really surprised me . devon : what did he say ? hilary : he said that he is ready to let go of his anger and his resentment . and he 's gon na let me go to live my own life . and , best of all , he said that he wo n't mess with our big day . devon : he did ? hilary : yeah . devon : oh . hilary : i 'm just so relieved . i think he 's finally starting to forgive us . and i was really worried about him , you know ? devon : yeah . me , too . hilary : but now everything is gon na be perfect . oh , god . i love you so much . devon : i love you , too . you are everything to me . everything . neil : so , technically , devon did n't really cheat on hilary . colin : cheating , ah -- that 's kind of in the eye of the beholder . now , i know some women , for instance , who think that it 's a hanging offense just to be in the same country as a hooker . neil : hilary 's a bit more worldly than that , colin . colin : to answer your question , devon does n't remember having sex with that woman because he did n't . he was out of it after i stuck that mickey in his drink . but i convinced him he did . so , he thinks he betrayed hilary , and to all intents and purposes , that 's all you need . neil : so , did you convince him to keep it to himself ? colin : i told him that some stories are best left untold . however , he 's burdened with guilt . at some point , he might need to unburden himself . neil : well , whether he does or he does n't , hilary 's gon na find out sooner or later . and the longer it takes , the worse it 'll be for them . colin : and `` worse `` -- that 's better for you , right ? neil : plenty of pain to go around . colin : i must say , neil , i never saw you as being this ruthless . neil : trying to be like you , man . you impressed ? colin : well , i 'm surprised . you know , as enraged as you were when you discovered the affair between hilary and devon , i thought that , by now , you might have accepted it . neil : well , you thought wrong . i 'll never accept what they did to this blind man . colin : yeah , i can see that . neil : i ca n't get past their betrayal . they took away my joy and my happiness . and now i 'm gon na return the favor . colin : pleasure doing business with you . neil : likewise , colin . it was a great party last night . you should have stuck around a bit longer . cane : you know what , dad ? having sex with a prostitute is not really what i want right now . colin : sure about that ? i mean , you 're looking pretty down . cane : [ sighs ] that 's cause , last night , i saw lily kissing joe again , and then we had a fight about it today . colin : [ sighs ] good god . has n't this woman humiliated you enough ? cane : every time i see her , all i do is just think about the two of them together . it 's just ... colin : yeah . something like that can drive a man crazy . cane : [ chuckles ] that 's funny , 'cause crazy would be an improvement on how i feel right now . thank you . colin : just had a thought . look , you and i -- we jump a flight , get out of here , go to vegas , new york . we can be there by happy hour . cane : no , no . running away is not what i want right now . and to be honest with you , dad , i do n't think you have the ability to give me marital advice . colin : hey , jill and i are blissfully happy . cane : [ chuckles ] i just miss lily . i do . i miss her . i miss our family . i miss what we shared . i hate what is happening between us and the effect it 's having on the kids . i hate it . colin : so , what are you gon na do about it ? hilary : hey . where are you going ? devon : hey . i did n't mean to wake you up . i 'm just gon na go down and get something to eat , okay ? hilary : okay . devon : stay here and rest .

[ next_on ] noah : she was just as surprised as you were that marco survived the crash . abby : we 're still targets . victor : because if this marco approaches anyone , it 'll be you first . phyllis : are you saying that when i came out of the -- jack : i was gone . another jack was there . | devon does n't remember what happened at his bachelor party . colin tells him that he cheated on hilary and advises that devon keep his secret . colin and neil discuss the video of devon going into the bedroom with a prostitute , while devon suffers through his guilt while making love to hilary . victor wants nick to remain at newman - abbott . nick agrees as long as victor does n't interfere in nick 's life . cane chastises lily time and again before realizing that she is a good mother . lily hopes for reconciliation but cane only offers joint custody . in istanbul , phyllis and jack reminisce about their previous visit there . phyllis brings up st. barts and jack gets angry . phyllis says she knows jack is keeping something from her , and it 's eating him up . jack admits that phyllis has been dealing with `` two jacks . `` | <s>[INST] victor : hey . nick : welcome back . victor : good to see you , my boy . nick : yeah . sorry i wo n't be here long . victor : why 's that ? nick : i 'm , uh , leaving the company . victor : really ? jack : thank you for the ice ! i do n't think he understood a word i said . phyllis : [ laughs ] have i told you how much i love this place ? jack : istanbul or the hotel ? phyllis : both ! jack : i think maybe a dozen times on the way in , you did . phyllis : how did you manage to get the same suite we had before ? jack : magic . phyllis : [ laughs ] well , i got to tell you something . i - i do n't think you could have suggested a more perfect spot for a second honeymoon . jack : i 'd like to think of this as the first day of the rest of our lives . phyllis : well , that is apropos since the last time we were here , you were wanting to live life one day at a time . jack : thanks to you . phyllis : [ chuckles ] jack : no , i mean it . you saved me . i was in a dark and uncertain place , and you helped me find the light again . phyllis : well , i am thankful for that time , or we would have never found the most magical , romantic place ever . jack : well , now i want to put everything back home out of our minds and focus on you , on us , just the two of us once again . you have no idea how much that means to me . hilary : hey . lily : hey .

[ laughs ] devon : are you telling me that i cheated on hilary ? colin : mm - hmm . additional sponsorship jack : oh , so many memories , all of them wonderful . phyllis : the hagia sophia at sunset -- do you remember ? jack : magnificent . i want to get to the basilica cistern this time , as well as the topkapi palace . phyllis : oh , good . definitely . i hear it 's awe - inspiring . jack : you know what 's awe - inspiring ? phyllis : what ? jack : watching you haggle with the vendors at the grand bazaar . those spice merchants did n't stand a chance last time . phyllis : [ laughs ] as much fun as that was , you know what ? i had more fun when we were rained in here last time . this incredible hotel -- we created our private world with the amazing food and massages . jack : well , yeah . i was buttering you up , trying to get you to move in with me . phyllis : well , as much fun and wonderful as all that was , it 's what you said that convinced me . you said , `` you want to make some memories of a great trip or do you want to start a new adventure entirely ? because you and me , red -- `` jack : `` 'cause you and me , red -- you know it 's gon na be a wild ride . `` phyllis : [ laughs ] you remembered . yeah . it has been wild . jack : oh . phyllis : and i am so looking forward to the next chapter . i am . jack : wow . so am i . phyllis : you know , i was very anxious to get out there and hit the shops again . jack : mm , but now ... ? phyllis : i do n't know . all of a sudden , i 'm feeling like maybe there 's some other memories i 'd like to recapture . jack : yeah ? phyllis : mm - hmm . colin : you know what they say about what happens at a bachelor party . devon : no , shut up , colin . there is no way in a million years that i would have sex with a prostitute . colin : you remember sitting about here with the lovely india balanced in your lap while she was undoing the buttons on your shirt ? devon : yeah , i do , but that 's -- that 's all . colin : then you both got up and walked into the bedroom together . devon : [ sighs ] i vaguely remember walking in there with her , and you were still out here with the other girl . the rest of the night 's blank , which makes no sense , 'cause i barely had anything to drink . colin : oh , you were one happy camper . [ chuckles ] and for probably all sorts of great reasons , because you were both having a hell of a time in there . devon : are you serious ? you heard me ? colin : trust me . i ... probably know more about your sexual appetites than i really need to . devon : i do n't understand how i let this happen . colin : look ... [ sighs ] it 's not rocket science . you know , you -- you got a skin full of champagne , really hot looking woman who 's prepared to do pretty much anything to satisfy your desires , and , okay , that 's what she was there for . devon : [ sighs ] colin : no need to be ashamed of it . devon : of course i 'm ashamed of it ! how am i supposed to look my fiancée in the eye ? how are you gon na look jill in the eye ? is this normal stuff for you ? colin : oh , i can look jill in the eye . i mean , i just sat here with the young girl . we had a few laughs , a drink or two . i would never cheat on jill . devon : [ groaning ] oh . colin : i love that woman to death . devon : yeah . and you were able to keep yourself in line last night but i was n't . how the hell does that make any sense ? colin : my boy , there are limits . i 'm married . you 're not , one . it 's okay for a guy to have a bit of fun before he puts that ring on his finger . but women -- well ... [ sighs ] they do n't look at it quite the same way . so i certainly would n't go sharing this with hilary . in fact ... this should be our little secret . lily : cane , you do n't understand . cane : no , i do . i do understand . lily : no . then if you had stuck around a moment longer , you would have seen me push joe away and tell him to not do that again . cane : if you say so . lily : i do n't want to be with joe . i do n't want to . i 've told you that . but you 're doing exactly what i did . you 're jumping to conclusions like i did with lauren . cane : no , no , no , no . the difference is i did n't sleep with lauren . lily : [ sighs ] okay . you have every right to be upset , but you do n't have a right to make our children pay for what i did . cane : i 'm not trying to make our children pay for it . i am trying to -- i 'm trying to look out for them . lily : oh , that is a load of crap . cane : what , you think i 'm enjoying this ? lily : yes . cane : you think i 'm enjoying seeing them hurt like this ? lily : i think there is a small part of you that 's enjoying lording over me that i made a mistake . cane : no , no . that is not true . lily : we 're living in separate places . you want sole custody . tearing them away from me is not what 's best for them and you know that . cane : no . what i know is , is that you did n't stop to think about our relationship and what you were going to do when you threw it all away like that . neil : hey . hey , hey , hey , hey . i know what you two are talking about . you -- do n't you dare talk to my daughter this way . victor : why would you want to leave ? i mean , i want you to stay with the company , son . nick : and why would you want that ? i mean , we 've done this before many times . it 's not a good fit . victor : i think you have changed . i mean , you 're more mature now . nick : so , it 's my fault ? victor : oh , did i say that ? nick : look , this just proves my point . we 've been together for , what , two minutes and we 're doing what we always do . it 's like we take the elevator to the top floor and then lose all ability to communicate . victor : why do you think that is ? nick : well , you never tell me anything , at least anything i want to hear . now , vick and abby -- they seem to be okay with it , but i 'm not . victor : what do you want to know ? nick : well , for starters , no one can understand how you and jack are working together when it 's obvious you 're lying your heads off . and trying to make sense of it in this vacuum will only make me more frustrated , so i 'm gon na walk away , and then we can salvage what relationship we have left . victor : i - i do n't want you to walk away , all right ? so , uh , i 'll answer your questions . devon : `` just lie to her . `` that 's real easy for you to say . you do n't give a damn . it 's not that simple for me , colin . colin : [ sighs ] why not ? devon : why ? 'cause hilary and i have dreamed of having a life together for a really long time . i do n't want to start our marriage off with a lie . i hate myself for what i just did . colin : you might hate yourself a whole lot more if you tell hilary the truth . i mean , you think of what it might do to her . you think of what you stand to lose . and you think of the pain . son , what she does n't know wo n't hurt her . devon : it 's gon na hurt me . i 'm the one that 'd have to walk around keeping a secret like that . colin : well , that did n't seem to be the issue when you were boinking your father 's wife . devon : oh , like hell , colin ! colin : hey . do n't get testy with me . i 'm just telling you what i 've observed . devon : you have no idea what you 've observed . you have no idea what it was like keeping a secret like that from my family . and i ca n't do that again . neil : i expect more out of you . show some class , have some respect , and take your personal issues outside of here , not in my daughter 's place of business . cane : oh , i 'm sorry . so , you -- you would rather i follow your example , the way that you reacted when you found out that your wife was cheating on you ? 'cause i would n't exactly call that a lesson in dignity . and if you want , neil , you can stand there and pretend that you 've gotten over it , but i know for a fact that you have n't . lily : god . my life is such a mess , and i have no one to blame but myself . neil : mm , baby , it takes two , 50 - 50 . lily : no , i just -- i - i had everything a woman could want . i had -- i had a loving husband , two beautiful children , an amazing home with good memories , and i ruined it . i would give anything to have cane and i get back to where we were , but every time we talk , it just makes things worse , every time . neil : oh . i am so sorry . lily : i 'm ashamed , dad . after everything that you 've been through , and you 're still being so kind and understanding . neil : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . you will always be my baby girl , okay ? when you hurt , i hurt . i want to take all your pain away and make it right for you . come here . victor : nicholas , this is the first time that all of my children have been working at my company at the same time . it feels good . and when you stepped in when i could n't be here , that felt very good , more than you realize , okay ? nick : well , i appreciate that . and i was glad to lend a hand . but see , i was hoping for an explanation . maybe you were thinking you were just gon na distract me with your speech instead of revealing the truth . victor : okay . i agree with you . i have not been entirely forthcoming . there 's a reason for that . i had to be careful . but i think i can trust you with the truth . um ... jack abbott fired the first shot . and i do n't mean in the park . i mean that i found out , months ago , that he was seriously trying to take me down and take my company down . so i 've worked tirelessly to prevent that from happening . nick : then you admit it . you are actively working behind his back , despite telling everyone that you needed to work together . victor : did you hear what i just said ? he put up a serious threat to my business , to everything i 've worked for , okay ? and i 'm doing everything in my power to protect my family and my business . phyllis : [ laughs ] jack : i would say this trip is off to a very good start . phyllis : mmm . when you 're right , you 're right . jack : wow . you look at me like that -- i 'm not sure we 're ever gon na make it out of this room . phyllis : is that such a bad thing ? be kind of like our last honeymoon . you were insatiable . jack : how 'bout some room service ? phyllis : i 'm starved ! jack : yeah ? phyllis : hey . you want to feed me some grapes like you did in bed in st. bart 's ? jack : your wish is my command . phyllis : you know , that was an amazing trip , too , i tell you . remember the rainbow we saw on the ocean ? i tell you , i 'd lie there in your arms in the hammock . do n't think i ever wanted to leave , although we spent so much time in bed , i 'm surprised i remember what that -- jack : could we just not talk about st. bart 's ? i 'd rather talk about just about anything else . phyllis : where did that just come from ? jack : you know , the -- the time change is -- [ sighs ] phyllis : really ? jet lag ? that 's why you 're so cranky right now ? jack : i - i do n't mean to be . i -- look , i 'm here with a woman i adore in one of our favorite places on earth . i just want to look forward , a fresh , new start . after everything we 've been through since our wedding , i - i do n't want to dwell on the past . i - i was a different person then . phyllis : you were . and now ... i 'm not sure who you are . nick : dad , you can stop right there , okay ? i do n't need to get sucked in to the next phase of your never - ending feud with jack abbott . victor : you can walk away , if that 's what you want . i do n't think you realize the kind of value you bring to this company . you have an honesty about you , an integrity about you . you know how to bring people together . right now , we need that more than any other time because your two sisters do not get along in the workplace . now , we can survive this little bump in the road . newman - abbott certainly can . but i want more than just survive . i want us to thrive for everyone concerned . get it ? hilary : [ sighs ] neil : you better run for your life , son . she 's gon na decimate you exactly how she decimated me and countless others . hilary : okay , no . that is not true . all right ? i love devon . neil : you love him like you loved me ? i know you want my acceptance . i know that you want my blessings . but i 'm gon na tell you what i 'm gon na give you right now . i 'm gon na wish for you both a lot of pain and a lot of unhappiness . let 's put it like this -- karma 's a bitch . neil : hey . walk of shame ? colin : i , uh , threw a little bachelor party for devon last night . i thought about inviting you , but -- neil : oh , no , no . no need to explain . so , have a good time ? colin : oh , it was a great night . hit the casino and played a bit of poker . i won at devon 's expense . the kid needs a few tips . devon : was n't my night . excuse me . colin : did you get the video ? neil : exactly what i needed . colin : good . neil : i deposited the money into your account . colin : including expenses ? neil : yeah . all of it . colin : well , then , the last 24 hours have been quite lucrative , considering the games of chance , et cetera . neil : glad you 're pleased . colin : so , neil , what about you ? when are you gon na turn that video loose on hilary and scuttle their wedding ? neil : that would be up to devon . [ door opens ] devon : hilary ? hilary : oh , my god . close -- close your eyes . devon : what 's wrong ? hilary : uh ... um ... i ... found my wedding dress . you know what that means . okay . you can open your eyes up . bad luck averted . devon : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to startle you . hilary : oh , god . baby , you look exhausted . [ chuckles ] well , i figured that you would n't get a lot of sleep when you texted me and told me that you were having your bachelor party . devon : yeah . hilary : so , did you have fun ? devon : `` fun `` is n't exactly the word that i would use to describe what happened . nick : i appreciate you saying that . victor : i meant every word , son . you and i may not always see eye to eye , but i respect who you are . and i need you here , now more than ever . you on board ? nick : there 's gon na have to be some ground rules . victor : all right . i 'm listening . jack : i 'm your husband , who wants to build a new future with you . what else matters ? phyllis : i do n't know . why do n't you tell me ? i am trying to get a handle on how you 're feeling . jack : i am feeling happy . i am feeling loved . i am so happy to be in this place with you . phyllis : i am talking about how all over the map you have been for the last few months , like out to lunch . jack : look , red -- phyllis : i - i 'll tell you something . the man that i took the vows with is not the same man that came home with me from st. bart 's . buying expensive cars , sleep talking in spanish , blowing off work to play golf all day . i do n't know . it 's like , all of a sudden , you turn into dr . jekyll and mr. hyde . and i never know if i 'm gon na get the sweet and gentle man who can cuddle for hours in front of a fire or if i 'm gon na get the ... spontaneous , mischievous man who has challenged me to all sorts of crazy things like he did on our honeymoon . skinny dipping under a full moon so all the guest can see -- that is insane , and yet i do n't know if it is the most embarrassing or the most exhilarating thing i have ever done with you . you have taken me completely by surprise , jack . jack : and that 's the man you prefer ? that 's what you 're saying ? hilary : a night out at the casino ? it does n't sound too gruesome . [ chuckles ] did you gamble ? devon : i played a little poker . and , uh , i lost a lot to colin . hilary : oh . he probably cheated . although i guess it 's not that easy when the pit boss is watching your every move . devon : actually , we were n't -- hilary : what else did you do , besides drink way too much ? devon : you know , baby ... last night was n't exactly what i expected it to be . hilary : tell me about it . i got a surprise of my own last night . neil came by . devon : he came here ? to see you ? hilary : yeah . devon : why ? hilary : when i saw him , i was like , `` okay , brace yourself . `` but he surprised me . i mean , he really surprised me . devon : what did he say ? hilary : he said that he is ready to let go of his anger and his resentment . and he 's gon na let me go to live my own life . and , best of all , he said that he wo n't mess with our big day . devon : he did ? hilary : yeah . devon : oh . hilary : i 'm just so relieved . i think he 's finally starting to forgive us . and i was really worried about him , you know ? devon : yeah . me , too . hilary : but now everything is gon na be perfect . oh , god . i love you so much . devon : i love you , too . you are everything to me . everything . neil : so , technically , devon did n't really cheat on hilary . colin : cheating , ah -- that 's kind of in the eye of the beholder . now , i know some women , for instance , who think that it 's a hanging offense just to be in the same country as a hooker . neil : hilary 's a bit more worldly than that , colin . colin : to answer your question , devon does n't remember having sex with that woman because he did n't . he was out of it after i stuck that mickey in his drink . but i convinced him he did . so , he thinks he betrayed hilary , and to all intents and purposes , that 's all you need . neil : so , did you convince him to keep it to himself ? colin : i told him that some stories are best left untold . however , he 's burdened with guilt . at some point , he might need to unburden himself . neil : well , whether he does or he does n't , hilary 's gon na find out sooner or later . and the longer it takes , the worse it 'll be for them . colin : and `` worse `` -- that 's better for you , right ? neil : plenty of pain to go around . colin : i must say , neil , i never saw you as being this ruthless . neil : trying to be like you , man . you impressed ? colin : well , i 'm surprised . you know , as enraged as you were when you discovered the affair between hilary and devon , i thought that , by now , you might have accepted it . neil : well , you thought wrong . i 'll never accept what they did to this blind man . colin : yeah , i can see that . neil : i ca n't get past their betrayal . they took away my joy and my happiness . and now i 'm gon na return the favor . colin : pleasure doing business with you . neil : likewise , colin . it was a great party last night . you should have stuck around a bit longer . cane : you know what , dad ? having sex with a prostitute is not really what i want right now . colin : sure about that ? i mean , you 're looking pretty down . cane : [ sighs ] that 's cause , last night , i saw lily kissing joe again , and then we had a fight about it today . colin : [ sighs ] good god . has n't this woman humiliated you enough ? cane : every time i see her , all i do is just think about the two of them together . it 's just ... colin : yeah . something like that can drive a man crazy . cane : [ chuckles ] that 's funny , 'cause crazy would be an improvement on how i feel right now . thank you . colin : just had a thought . look , you and i -- we jump a flight , get out of here , go to vegas , new york . we can be there by happy hour . cane : no , no . running away is not what i want right now . and to be honest with you , dad , i do n't think you have the ability to give me marital advice . colin : hey , jill and i are blissfully happy . cane : [ chuckles ] i just miss lily . i do . i miss her . i miss our family . i miss what we shared . i hate what is happening between us and the effect it 's having on the kids . i hate it . colin : so , what are you gon na do about it ? hilary : hey . where are you going ? devon : hey . i did n't mean to wake you up . i 'm just gon na go down and get something to eat , okay ? hilary : okay . devon : stay here and rest .

[ laughs ] sam ! sam : yeah . alexis : it 's good to see you . sam : it 's me . i hope you do n't mind me dropping by like this . alexis : no . oh ! no , i do n't . uh , actually , you know what ? i 'm so hungry , and i have no food in the refrigerator . you want to go grab some lunch ? sam : no . no . no , no , no . i -- i already ate . besides , um , i actually came by to talk to you in private about something elizabeth webber told me . alexis : oh . julian : hey , alexis ! have you seen my wallet ? i was almost sure that i , uh ... sam : what the hell is he doing here ? alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : these are from the airport souvenir shop . i did n't have time to go shopping . you know , it was such a quick trip . but i wanted you guys to know that i was thinking about you , and i missed you . i know they 're kind of silly , but i thought we could use a little silly , huh ? michael : so , uh , who gets the extra one , huh ? we gon na have to wrestle for it ? carly : morgan . i mean , i picked it up without even thinking , and ... by the time i got to the register , i just -- i could n't put it back , you know ? sonny : yeah , i do that , too . michael : actually , i saw a movie last week , and i went to text him to go see it . i guess it takes a while for those impulses to go away . carly : yeah . yeah . josslyn was crying in the car when she realized she was n't gon na see him . sonny : how is josslyn ? is she okay with us ? where is she , anyway ? carly : she 's at my office . um , she 's just not there yet . sonny : she does n't want to be around me . carly : she wo n't even consider it . michael : yeah , i 'll -- i 'll talk to her . carly : oh , michael . i talked to her for 20 hours . i mean , from take - off in sydney to landing in port charles . i mean , she is not ready . michael : yeah , well , she might hear it differently coming from me , you know , her brother , not her mom , and i have n't seen her in a while . maybe i can pinch her or something . carly : [ laughs ] thank you . michael : yeah . all right . carly : thank you . michael : well , mom , thanks for the funky towels . carly : yeah . they 're for -- they 're for surfer dudes , by the way . michael : i can see that . carly : that 's what they said . [ chuckles ] sonny : i missed you every minute . [ door closes ] carly : i missed you every minute , too . [ sighs ] sonny : so ... carly : so . sonny : now that you 're back ... carly : yeah ? sonny : what about us ? [ scene_break ] jordan : i will say this about you , curtis -- you managed to track down buzz , stashed him in a safe house . you even managed to get him to make a statement . i mean , that -- that is solid work . and , yes , of course , yes , you 're right . it should clear sonny of morgan 's death . curtis : should ? jordan : yeah . should . the new da -- she is just so hell - bent on convicting sonny . curtis : so she 's more worried about the win regardless of what the evidence says . jordan : exactly . curtis : yeah . all right . jordan : yeah , and i - i - i 'm gon na have a hell of a time trying to talk her down . curtis : all right , well , damn . uh , maybe i can lean on buzz a little bit more and find out where rudge and boss lady are hiding out . jordan : or how about this -- we bring buzz in . we bring him in , we put him in front the new da . have her listen to him for herself . curtis : i do n't know . buzz is , uh -- he 's kind of jumpy . he 's real nervous nowadays . jordan : oh , okay . curtis : afraid for his life . jordan : how about this ? we go to your place , we go to your boy 's shelter , we convince him that he 's gon na be safe with us , right ? curtis : and so how do you plan on doing that ? 'cause you 've been complaining about your shoes all day . you ai n't ready to do no walking . jordan : and whose fault is that , hmm ? you 're the one with the broke - ass truck . curtis : [ laughing ] oh ! you 're gon na talk about my baby like that . look , um , how did i know that the alternator was gon na go out as soon as we left buzz 's ? ca n't blame me for that . jordan : oh , i do . i can . and i do . curtis : okay , well , relax , okay ? the , uh -- my truck will be repaired in a matter of hours . but as for buzz , that 's gon na take a minute . but we have a late checkout , so why do n't we just hang out and chill ? [ scene_break ] julian : i just stopped by to pick up something . i promised your mother i 'd leave right away . alexis : i need to speak to sam alone . i owe her the truth . julian : [ sighs ] i just hope you 'll understand why i -- sam : understand ? no , i 'm -- i 'm done trying to understand you . bye ! you , mom -- you , on the other hand , i thought i understood , but i obviously do n't . what is he doing here ? why 'd you let him back in your house ? alexis : because he 's blackmailing me . sam : what ? ! that bastard ! after everything he 's done to your life , to your career , after he tried to kill you , he 's blackmailing you ? i do n't -- what could he possibly have over your head ? i do n't understand . alexis : that i almost killed him when i hit him with my car and left him for dead . [ scene_break ] jason : why do you need help with franco ? my son did n't mention anything to me . is he pulling you into something ? elizabeth : okay . jason : huh ? elizabeth : i 'm -- i 'm fine . i can deal with this on my own . we -- we got this . sam can fill you in if she wants . can you excuse us ? please . jason : are you serious ? elizabeth : yeah . jason : okay . [ cell phone chimes ] jason : good luck . elizabeth : thanks . kiki : i am sorry . that was so awkward and completely my fault . elizabeth : no . kiki : i really need to stop making assumptions . elizabeth : it 's -- it 's okay , it 's okay . i 'm completely used to awkward when it comes to jason and franco . so , have you heard from him ? kiki : no . no . i 'm guessing you have n't , either . elizabeth : no . no , and it 's been over 24 hours . do you think we should call the police and file a missing persons report ? kiki : the police are already looking for franco . that 's actually why i asked you to meet me . they were at our apartment earlier . they had a warrant for franco 's arrest . they 're charging franco with tom baker 's murder . [ scene_break ] curtis : you do n't mind hanging out with me , do you ? or should i maybe just kick rocks back to my own room ? jordan : um , that is on you . curtis : yeah . right . uh , yeah , well , then maybe i should just take off . um ... yeah . unless you want me to stay . jordan : curtis , i 'm -- i 'm the police commissioner . i do have other cases to work on , you know . curtis : and there 's not much you can do five , six hours away , but i know you . never been one to sit still when faced with free time . so do your e - mails and your top - cop thing . i 'm gon na go do my thing . but when i come back , all of this comes to a halt . guaranteed . jordan : and i 'm sorry , um ... what is that supposed to mean ? curtis : guaranteed . [ scene_break ] sam : it was you ? you were the driver who hit julian ? alexis : it was an accident . sam : an accident ? mom , you left the scene . that 's a crime . alexis : i know that . i called 911 , and i panicked , and i left before they got there . and when i went to the hospital to see if he was okay , he told me that he knew that i was the driver , and he blackmailed me . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : he said that he would go to the police if i did n't take care of him , which i did at ava 's house , and then he wanted to come here , and i really was n't in a position to refuse . sam : oh , okay . it 's starting to make sense . that 's why you did n't want us here for christmas , because he was here . alexis : i did n't want to ruin your holiday . sam : and that rudge guy . he came here looking for julian . he knew he was here , right ? so you were basically lying the whole time . what else were you lying about , mom ? alexis : my drinking . i 've been drinking from morning till night ... sam : [ sighs ] alexis : ... for months . sam : mom , i -- [ sighs ] which is why i hit him with the car , because i was drunk , and i got behind the wheel . i have a problem with alcohol . [ sighs ] and i 'm ... deeply ashamed . [ scene_break ] kiki : i was glad that franco was n't there when the police showed up with that warrant . elizabeth : did they mention what evidence they have ? kiki : uh , i do n't know . i mean ... you know , they did mention something about a knife that franco had bought . it was the same kind that was used to kill tom baker . uh ... oh , and this really bizarre thing they mentioned to me about a dog crate that they found at franco 's studio with tom baker 's dna on it . oh , no . elizabeth : what ? kiki : a while back , i was at kelly 's , and tom baker tried to hit on me . he tried multiple times , actually , and franco did n't like that he was coming on to me , so he asked me to help him lure tom baker to his studio , and i -- i went along with it , but ... he told me that he was only gon na talk to him . that 's -- that 's all . oh , my gosh . i should n't have -- i should n't have helped him . elizabeth : okay , kiki , listen . none of this is your fault . kiki : what is n't ? do you know if franco did something ? is that why tom baker 's dna was on that dog crate in his studio ? [ scene_break ] julian : look , there 's no need to keep calling me about this . i said i 'd neutralize jason . and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm glad you 're home , joss . i missed you . josslyn : i did n't want to come back . not if it meant living with sonny . i told mom that i would never , never , never live with him again . nelle : but your mom and sonny are getting back together . did n't she tell you that ? josslyn : i do n't care ! he killed my brother . michael : joss , i -- i know i explained this to you , and i know mom has , too , but ... my dad 's not responsible for morgan 's death . josslyn : okay , so maybe he did n't plant the car bomb . he 's still not completely innocent . i mean , your dad 's a mobster . that 's how he does business . and , yeah , i know i 'm not supposed to know that , and we 're not supposed to talk about it , but that does n't make it any less true . michael : i hear you , joss . i - i -- [ sighs ] i blamed dad just like you did , probably even worse . no cutting him any slack , black and white . he 's guilty . and you know why ? because it 's a lot easier to be angry than it is to grieve . [ scene_break ] sonny : you want a glass ? carly : oh , no , thank you . i 'm already fighting jet lag . this coffee is gon na keep me awake long enough to get josslyn and get her back to my house and get her settled . sonny : she really does n't want to come anywhere near here ? carly : sonny , it took everything in me and jax to get her on that plane to come back to port charles . sonny : i 'm surprised jax even agreed . carly : well , if it were n't for the fact that he 's gon na be traveling on business for the next three months , she 'd still be there . i mean , thankfully , jax talked her into coming home , but only after they made a deal , and i had to agree to it . i had to promise that she would n't have to live here . sonny : what about you ? carly : josslyn 's gon na be at my house . i mean , as much as i want to be with you , i 'm gon na stay with my daughter . [ scene_break ] kiki : did he kill tom ? elizabeth : no ! no . no . kiki , listen to me . he did not kill tom baker . kiki : how can you be so sure ? elizabeth : he told me that he was n't gon na go to prison . maybe he is on the run . uh , his dad is also looking for him . scott asked me to meet him in the bar in branford , and when i got there , franco 's car was in the parking lot , and ... and i found this in the same alley where tom baker was killed . kiki : [ whispering ] is that blood ? elizabeth : yeah , i do n't know whose yet , but i do know that franco would n't have run away without his phone , and he would n't have left without calling you , and no matter how things were left with us , he would n't have just disappeared without giving me a way to connect with him . i 'm afraid something really bad has happened to him . [ scene_break ] sam : i had a feeling that you were struggling with your promise not to drink . i -- i knew you were in trouble . i just -- i did n't know how to ask the question , and so i did n't , and i ignored it , and i 'm really , really sorry . alexis : no . do not be sorry . be mad . because you have every right to be . i was drunk when i babysat your son . sam : mm . alexis : and when i was n't drinking at home alone , i drove to branford to drink , where i would n't run into anyone that i know . [ chuckles ] but i ran into julian , did n't i ? literally . well , that 's not funny , is it ? shockingly , julian was helping me detox and pushed me to go to aa . which i did . and i 'm , uh , two days sober . so , ironically -- tragically , i guess ... i have julian to thank for that . [ scene_break ] jason : i got your text . i really ca n't believe i 'm here , so i hope you 're in the mood to talk . [ sighs ] how are you involved with rudge and whoever his boss is ? julian : i 'm not working with him . jason : yeah , i was afraid you were gon na waste my time . listen , we both know that you 're connected to these people , and i know that you 're behind morgan 's death , and as soon as i can prove it , i 'm gon na sort you out . trust that . julian : hey , what i have to say affects you , it affects sam , and it affects your children . so , please ... have a seat , huh ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , joss ... [ sighs ] grief is hard . all right ? i get that . [ scoffs ] the shock , the unfairness , the helplessness of losing morgan is excruciating . [ sighs ] and , look , if i could take that off of you -- if i could take that off you , i would . i would in a heartbeat . i would take it off you . but you got to go through it . morgan deserves our sorrow , not -- not our misplaced anger . he -- he deserves us coming together , being there for each other , loving each other . not -- not being mad and tearing our family apart . josslyn : [ crying ] i just miss him so much . michael : i know . oh , joss , i miss him , too . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i want so much to believe that after the trial 's over and , god willing , you 're cleared , that it 's gon na be a fresh start for our family . sonny : it will be . it can be . you got to just -- you have to believe that . carly : okay , and i believe that you believe that . today . i believe you mean it today . but what about the day you find out who 's really responsible for morgan 's death ? what happens then ? [ scene_break ] curtis : [ laughs ] jordan : [ laughing ] no , you did n't -- no , you did not . is that from that no- name place on denfield ? curtis : mm - hmm . jordan : i mean , i knew that we were in walking distance . i -- i did n't think that they were still there ! curtis : oh , it is . and it is going strong . jordan : are you kidding me ? [ gasps ] oh , gim me gim me ! lake trout ! oh ! mmm , and their western fries ? please tell me -- please . curtis : oh , damn . i forgot the fries ! jordan : you what ? ! that is the most -- that is the most important thing ! curtis : open the bag . [ laughs ] jordan : sandwich , fries , this is -- this is the half - and - half , right ? curtis : oh , yeah . let 's see . sweet tea , easy on the lemonade . just the way you 've always liked it . jordan : mm ! this one . curtis : now , are there any , uh , other questions , doubts , or concerns ? jordan : uh , no , you need to stop talking right now and sit down here and eat with me . curtis : all right . you can , uh ... jordan : mmm ! i 'm happy right now . curtis : yeah . well , uh , looks like we scored another plus for curtis today . jordan : well , i mean ... your truck did break down . curtis : [ scoffs ] here you go with the truck . jordan : but no , for real , all the -- all the work we did with buzz , and now the food ... it reminds me of old times . yeah . curtis : yeah . jordan : back when we were totally in sync . [ scene_break ] kiki : did franco 's phone have any of his last texts or calls on it ? elizabeth : i could n't check . it must have been submerged in a puddle at one point 'cause it was -- it was soaked , and i took it to the phone store to see if they could help me dry it out , but they were more interested in selling me a new phone , so they never even checked it , which is probably for the best . [ sighs ] kiki : what about the woman that franco thought might have killed tom ? the one that he wanted to protect , because he 'd hurt someone that was close to her in the past ? do you have any ideas who that might be ? [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't believe this . are you actually giving julian credit for getting you sober ? alexis : it 's only been two days . let 's not get carried away . he did help me through the rough part . you know , i 've been to one meeting , and , uh ... he did say that , at some point , i 'm gon na have to start apologizing for what i did , and so you could ... let me know when you 're ready . sam : not yet . i 'm not -- i 'm not ready . i want you to know that i love you and -- and i support you , and i will be here for you for whatever you need , but there -- alexis : [ sighs ] sam : there 's something else that i have to talk to you about first , mom . it 's -- it 's why i came over here . it has to do with something that elizabeth webber said , and at first , i thought she was crazy , implying that you had something to do with tom baker 's murder . i insisted that there was no way that you could be involved . and she told me that i did n't know you at all . [ scoffs ] well ... is there any truth to that ? alexis : i may have killed tom baker . [ scene_break ] julian : you know , i was gon na tell you something at the hospital . then i decided against it , but ... now i 've changed my mind . so . [ clears throat ] here it is . sam showed up at alexis ' today unannounced . jason : how do you know that ? you having her followed ? huh ? julian : no . no , i know that because i was there . you see , sam discovered me . alexis decided to come clean with her . i figured you 'd eventually find out , so i just decided to tell you personally . jason : okay , julian . [ clears throat ] i will bite . tell me what ? julian : [ clears throat ] well , the reason that sam found me at alexis ' house is because , uh ... i 've been living there . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] i ca n't really tell you how i 'm gon na feel when i find out who 's responsible for morgan 's death . all i can say is i 'm probably gon na be furious , and i would bet you would be , too . but at this moment , today , i learned a painful lesson about retaliation . and i 'm gon na think twice about that . carly : not exactly what i wanted to hear . sonny : that 's all i got , and i hope -- i hope it 's enough . new year 's eve , we -- we promised that we would live for today 'cause that 's kind of all we got . you grab this minute , this hour with both hands , and you hold on tight . and i -- and i hope that little trip to australia did n't , uh , make you forget that . carly : no . it did n't . sonny : then i guess you wo n't mind ... ... if i do this . or that . or that . carly : [ whispers ] i do n't mind at all . [ scene_break ] nelle : you know what , joss ? hey . michael 's right . you know ? if there is some all - knowing , all - loving being out there , then why do bad things happen to people ? but they do . and it 's scary , and it 's random . but , you know , sometimes unfair things , horrible things , happen to people . josslyn : so what am i supposed to do , just shrug it off and forget about my feelings ? nelle : you know , someone once told me that if i stayed stuck in my anger and wallowed in it , i 'd become a victim to it . so i think what your brother is saying is that you have to move through the anger to get through the grief . joss , you are so lucky you have so many people who love you and support you , including me . you have a great family , josslyn . your stepfather made some bad choices , but i remember when i first came here , you were happy living with him and your mom . you know ? and the josslyn i see now is n't happy at all , so ... you know , maybe that 's something to consider . [ scene_break ] jordan : oh , my gosh . [ sighs ] i am so stuffed . curtis : you never could eat a full order . jordan : [ giggles ] curtis : give me this . jordan : yeah , well , i guess some things never change . like that fish sandwich . and why is it called lake trout when it 's neither trout or from a lake ? curtis : a lake . jordan : why ? [ both chuckle ] curtis : remember travis and wren ? they used to call that catfish . jordan : i know . curtis : catfish ? come on . jordan : no . how about richie and eliza thinking that it was whitefish , when everybody knows that it 's snapper ! i do n't know what they 're thinking . curtis : or do they ? jordan : see ... wow . just up all night in the back of van , discussing the fish sandwich and just -- curtis : mm . mm - hmm . jordan : man . that was so tedious . curtis : some of the best times of my life . i mean , we could , you know , wait this out in separate rooms . um , you know , you could do your top - cop thing and i could -- i suppose i could go back to my room and practice mindfulness and , you know , reflect on my misdeeds and how i can be a better man . jordan : give me a break . curtis : no ? jordan : no . curtis : or maybe , perhaps , we could continue reminiscing with a sizzling , steamin ' , red - hot game of poker . jordan : i 'm dealing . [ scene_break ] carly : i have to go . sonny : what do you mean ? carly : i just , i -- sonny : what 's wrong ? carly : nothing . nothing 's wrong . sonny : come on . carly : nothing . i just have to -- i got to get to josslyn . you know ? i have to check on her . she was really upset . sonny : no , i understand . i understand . you know , joss is your first priority . carly : yeah . she is . sonny : i just -- i do n't like saying goodbye to you . carly : i hate saying goodbye to you , too . but i have to . [ chuckles ] sonny : what do you mean ? carly : i got to go . [ laughs ] hey , sweetheart . i was just on my way to get you . michael : um , joss has something to tell you guys . nelle : i 'm gon na give you all some privacy . michael : no , no , no , no . nelle . i wanted you here . you were as much a part of this as i was . josslyn : michael taught me how to ride a bike . you know , morgan taught me to keep trying . he said even if my knees were bruised , my legs were bruised , my hands were scraped ... even if it hurt , i had to get back on and ride . he said it hurt sometimes to be brave . but it hurts even more to give up . he said if i give up , i 'd never know how to ride a bike and i 'd regret it . so ... i wo n't give up on you , sonny . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i have been following up on the woman franco 's been protecting , and i 'm hoping to get confirmation on that soon . kiki : can you tell me who it is ? elizabeth : i think it 's too soon to say anything . kiki : okay . but if this woman did kill tom baker , what 's to stop her from killing again ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] oh ... no , this woman is n't capable of that . kiki : [ sighs ] maybe it is time we go to the police and let them in on what we know . i mean , if they think that franco might be innocent , and they have another suspect , at least they can see if she did anything to him . [ scene_break ] alexis : i left the bar , and i ended up in an alley . and he was there and he approached me . and i screamed for help , and then he ... pulled a knife on me , just like julian did , and i went crazy . and i somehow got hold of the knife . sam : and then what ? alexis : i do n't know . i do n't remember . [ sniffles ] but the body was found in that alley with some strange knife and ... i was holding a knife , so who else could it be ? sam : i do n't -- mom , the police would have questioned you if they had any evidence against you , right ? alexis : they 're chasing after franco . sam : yeah , but franco 's missing . they think he 's on the run . alexis : but he did n't do it . and he 's got something on me . sam : oh , mom . alexis : and ... i fully expect the police to come knocking on my door . sam : hey . i got to go . i love you . [ door closes ] alexis : i 'm sorry , sam . [ scene_break ] jason : so , rudge , a man that you 're not connected with whatsoever did n't go pay alexis a visit . he came to her house to see you . about what ? julian : [ sighs ] you know what ? i think i 've told you everything i can tell you . jason : of course . you have n't told me anything . sit down ! talk to me ! julian : i got to go ! . i 'll be seeing you around . jason : of course , you do . [ groans ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : thank you for that . it makes me feel great . uh , your mom and i were talking , and we -- we came to the conclusion , we 're just gon na take it day to day , and , uh , you 're gon na stay with her , and i 'll see you whenever i can . josslyn : that sounds great . sonny : yeah ? josslyn : is avery here ? i 've really missed her . sonny : yeah , she 's upstairs . she 's about to wake up from her nap . josslyn : can i go see her ? sonny : you can go do anything you want . go upstairs and see her . [ laughs ] [ sniffles ] carly : i ca n't thank you guys enough . i mean , how -- i went around and around with josslyn for 20 hours . you spent an hour with her and a complete turnaround ? nelle : well , michael 's really wonderful with her . he 's a great big brother . michael : well , nelle deserves big props , too . nelle : i just told the truth . joss is lucky to have such a wonderful stepfather , you know ? one who will always be there for her . [ scene_break ] curtis : is it possible that after all these years , you still have no poker face ? none . zero . jordan : what ? are you kidding me right now ? see , now you 're wandering into the land of ridiculousness because ... curtis : [ laughs ] jordan : ... this face -- i have a steely gaze that can stop criminals in their tracks . curtis : oh . mm . jordan : well , let me see this . curtis : yeah , let 's see . [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . see , that 's how i know -- that 's why i called your bluff , not once , not twice , but three games in a row . jordan : whatever . curtis : yeah . in fact , what are you holding in your hand ? jordan : no , no , no , no , no ! [ laughing ] curtis : that 's another reason i know i got you . admit it , okay ? you were bluffing . i always know what 's going on underneath those curls and behind those beautiful eyelashes . jordan : oh , see , you can really save all of that little trash talk for your new little girlfriend , okay ? curtis : [ laughs ] wow . look who 's trash - talking now . let me see those cards , miss thang . jordan : no , no , no , no . curtis : let me see these cards . a pair of twos ? wait , wait , you were trying to beat me with a pair of twos ? jordan : i took a shot . curtis : fair enough . you know , i 've been known to take a shot or two . i bet i know exactly what you 're thinking right now . jordan : really ? what 's that ? curtis : exactly what i 'm thinking . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : okay , just give me a little more time , 'cause i 'm waiting to hear from s -- uh , my contact about that woman . kiki : all right , well , just , uh , do n't think i 'm gon na sit around and do nothing , okay ? franco has always been there for me , and i 'm gon na be there for him . but i will get right to trying to figure out how to get that phone working . uh , i mean , hopefully , there 's something on it that can help us . elizabeth : yes , that would , um ... that would be great . thank you . um ... but just so we 're on the same page -- no cops yet . kiki : no cops . i 'll see what i can do . uh , i 'll get right on this . and , uh , stay in touch , okay ? elizabeth : definitely . kiki : all right . bye . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : yeah , i 'm sorry i did n't see sam 's car earlier . it probably was for the best . how 'd it go after i left ? alexis : i told her the truth . julian : [ sighs ] how much of the truth ? alexis : you do n't get to ask the questions . i do . when i told you that i may have killed tom baker , you said that you would take care of the situation . how ? what did you do ? did you do something to franco ?

[ sighs ] sonny : so ... carly : so . sonny : now that you 're back ... carly : yeah ? sonny : what about us ? [ scene_break ] jordan : i will say this about you , curtis -- you managed to track down buzz , stashed him in a safe house . you even managed to get him to make a statement . i mean , that -- that is solid work . and , yes , of course , yes , you 're right . it should clear sonny of morgan 's death . curtis : should ? jordan : yeah . should . the new da -- she is just so hell - bent on convicting sonny . curtis : so she 's more worried about the win regardless of what the evidence says . jordan : exactly . curtis : yeah . all right . jordan : yeah , and i - i - i 'm gon na have a hell of a time trying to talk her down . curtis : all right , well , damn . uh , maybe i can lean on buzz a little bit more and find out where rudge and boss lady are hiding out . jordan : or how about this -- we bring buzz in . we bring him in , we put him in front the new da . have her listen to him for herself . curtis : i do n't know . buzz is , uh -- he 's kind of jumpy . he 's real nervous nowadays . jordan : oh , okay . curtis : afraid for his life . jordan : how about this ? we go to your place , we go to your boy 's shelter , we convince him that he 's gon na be safe with us , right ? curtis : and so how do you plan on doing that ? 'cause you 've been complaining about your shoes all day . you ai n't ready to do no walking . jordan : and whose fault is that , hmm ? you 're the one with the broke - ass truck . curtis : [ laughing ] oh ! you 're gon na talk about my baby like that . look , um , how did i know that the alternator was gon na go out as soon as we left buzz 's ? ca n't blame me for that . jordan : oh , i do . i can . and i do . curtis : okay , well , relax , okay ? the , uh -- my truck will be repaired in a matter of hours . but as for buzz , that 's gon na take a minute . but we have a late checkout , so why do n't we just hang out and chill ? [ scene_break ] julian : i just stopped by to pick up something . i promised your mother i 'd leave right away . alexis : i need to speak to sam alone . i owe her the truth . julian : [ sighs ] i just hope you 'll understand why i -- sam : understand ? no , i 'm -- i 'm done trying to understand you . bye ! you , mom -- you , on the other hand , i thought i understood , but i obviously do n't . what is he doing here ? why 'd you let him back in your house ? alexis : because he 's blackmailing me . sam : what ? ! that bastard ! after everything he 's done to your life , to your career , after he tried to kill you , he 's blackmailing you ? i do n't -- what could he possibly have over your head ? i do n't understand . alexis : that i almost killed him when i hit him with my car and left him for dead . [ scene_break ] jason : why do you need help with franco ? my son did n't mention anything to me . is he pulling you into something ? elizabeth : okay . jason : huh ? elizabeth : i 'm -- i 'm fine . i can deal with this on my own . we -- we got this . sam can fill you in if she wants . can you excuse us ? please . jason : are you serious ? elizabeth : yeah . jason : okay . [ cell phone chimes ] jason : good luck . elizabeth : thanks . kiki : i am sorry . that was so awkward and completely my fault . elizabeth : no . kiki : i really need to stop making assumptions . elizabeth : it 's -- it 's okay , it 's okay . i 'm completely used to awkward when it comes to jason and franco . so , have you heard from him ? kiki : no . no . i 'm guessing you have n't , either . elizabeth : no . no , and it 's been over 24 hours . do you think we should call the police and file a missing persons report ? kiki : the police are already looking for franco . that 's actually why i asked you to meet me . they were at our apartment earlier . they had a warrant for franco 's arrest . they 're charging franco with tom baker 's murder . [ scene_break ] curtis : you do n't mind hanging out with me , do you ? or should i maybe just kick rocks back to my own room ? jordan : um , that is on you . curtis : yeah . right . uh , yeah , well , then maybe i should just take off . um ... yeah . unless you want me to stay . jordan : curtis , i 'm -- i 'm the police commissioner . i do have other cases to work on , you know . curtis : and there 's not much you can do five , six hours away , but i know you . never been one to sit still when faced with free time . so do your e - mails and your top - cop thing . i 'm gon na go do my thing . but when i come back , all of this comes to a halt . guaranteed . jordan : and i 'm sorry , um ... what is that supposed to mean ? curtis : guaranteed . [ scene_break ] sam : it was you ? you were the driver who hit julian ? alexis : it was an accident . sam : an accident ? mom , you left the scene . that 's a crime . alexis : i know that . i called 911 , and i panicked , and i left before they got there . and when i went to the hospital to see if he was okay , he told me that he knew that i was the driver , and he blackmailed me . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : he said that he would go to the police if i did n't take care of him , which i did at ava 's house , and then he wanted to come here , and i really was n't in a position to refuse . sam : oh , okay . it 's starting to make sense . that 's why you did n't want us here for christmas , because he was here . alexis : i did n't want to ruin your holiday . sam : and that rudge guy . he came here looking for julian . he knew he was here , right ? so you were basically lying the whole time . what else were you lying about , mom ? alexis : my drinking . i 've been drinking from morning till night ... sam : [ sighs ] alexis : ... for months . sam : mom , i -- [ sighs ] which is why i hit him with the car , because i was drunk , and i got behind the wheel . i have a problem with alcohol . [ sighs ] and i 'm ... deeply ashamed . [ scene_break ] kiki : i was glad that franco was n't there when the police showed up with that warrant . elizabeth : did they mention what evidence they have ? kiki : uh , i do n't know . i mean ... you know , they did mention something about a knife that franco had bought . it was the same kind that was used to kill tom baker . uh ... oh , and this really bizarre thing they mentioned to me about a dog crate that they found at franco 's studio with tom baker 's dna on it . oh , no . elizabeth : what ? kiki : a while back , i was at kelly 's , and tom baker tried to hit on me . he tried multiple times , actually , and franco did n't like that he was coming on to me , so he asked me to help him lure tom baker to his studio , and i -- i went along with it , but ... he told me that he was only gon na talk to him . that 's -- that 's all . oh , my gosh . i should n't have -- i should n't have helped him . elizabeth : okay , kiki , listen . none of this is your fault . kiki : what is n't ? do you know if franco did something ? is that why tom baker 's dna was on that dog crate in his studio ? [ scene_break ] julian : look , there 's no need to keep calling me about this . i said i 'd neutralize jason . and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm glad you 're home , joss . i missed you . josslyn : i did n't want to come back . not if it meant living with sonny . i told mom that i would never , never , never live with him again . nelle : but your mom and sonny are getting back together . did n't she tell you that ? josslyn : i do n't care ! he killed my brother . michael : joss , i -- i know i explained this to you , and i know mom has , too , but ... my dad 's not responsible for morgan 's death . josslyn : okay , so maybe he did n't plant the car bomb . he 's still not completely innocent . i mean , your dad 's a mobster . that 's how he does business . and , yeah , i know i 'm not supposed to know that , and we 're not supposed to talk about it , but that does n't make it any less true . michael : i hear you , joss . i - i -- [ sighs ] i blamed dad just like you did , probably even worse . no cutting him any slack , black and white . he 's guilty . and you know why ? because it 's a lot easier to be angry than it is to grieve . [ scene_break ] sonny : you want a glass ? carly : oh , no , thank you . i 'm already fighting jet lag . this coffee is gon na keep me awake long enough to get josslyn and get her back to my house and get her settled . sonny : she really does n't want to come anywhere near here ? carly : sonny , it took everything in me and jax to get her on that plane to come back to port charles . sonny : i 'm surprised jax even agreed . carly : well , if it were n't for the fact that he 's gon na be traveling on business for the next three months , she 'd still be there . i mean , thankfully , jax talked her into coming home , but only after they made a deal , and i had to agree to it . i had to promise that she would n't have to live here . sonny : what about you ? carly : josslyn 's gon na be at my house . i mean , as much as i want to be with you , i 'm gon na stay with my daughter . [ scene_break ] kiki : did he kill tom ? elizabeth : no ! no . no . kiki , listen to me . he did not kill tom baker . kiki : how can you be so sure ? elizabeth : he told me that he was n't gon na go to prison . maybe he is on the run . uh , his dad is also looking for him . scott asked me to meet him in the bar in branford , and when i got there , franco 's car was in the parking lot , and ... and i found this in the same alley where tom baker was killed . kiki : [ whispering ] is that blood ? elizabeth : yeah , i do n't know whose yet , but i do know that franco would n't have run away without his phone , and he would n't have left without calling you , and no matter how things were left with us , he would n't have just disappeared without giving me a way to connect with him . i 'm afraid something really bad has happened to him . [ scene_break ] sam : i had a feeling that you were struggling with your promise not to drink . i -- i knew you were in trouble . i just -- i did n't know how to ask the question , and so i did n't , and i ignored it , and i 'm really , really sorry . alexis : no . do not be sorry . be mad . because you have every right to be . i was drunk when i babysat your son . sam : mm . alexis : and when i was n't drinking at home alone , i drove to branford to drink , where i would n't run into anyone that i know . [ chuckles ] but i ran into julian , did n't i ? literally . well , that 's not funny , is it ? shockingly , julian was helping me detox and pushed me to go to aa . which i did . and i 'm , uh , two days sober . so , ironically -- tragically , i guess ... i have julian to thank for that . [ scene_break ] jason : i got your text . i really ca n't believe i 'm here , so i hope you 're in the mood to talk . [ sighs ] how are you involved with rudge and whoever his boss is ? julian : i 'm not working with him . jason : yeah , i was afraid you were gon na waste my time . listen , we both know that you 're connected to these people , and i know that you 're behind morgan 's death , and as soon as i can prove it , i 'm gon na sort you out . trust that . julian : hey , what i have to say affects you , it affects sam , and it affects your children . so , please ... have a seat , huh ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , joss ... [ sighs ] grief is hard . all right ? i get that . [ scoffs ] the shock , the unfairness , the helplessness of losing morgan is excruciating . [ sighs ] and , look , if i could take that off of you -- if i could take that off you , i would . i would in a heartbeat . i would take it off you . but you got to go through it . morgan deserves our sorrow , not -- not our misplaced anger . he -- he deserves us coming together , being there for each other , loving each other . not -- not being mad and tearing our family apart . josslyn : [ crying ] i just miss him so much . michael : i know . oh , joss , i miss him , too . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i want so much to believe that after the trial 's over and , god willing , you 're cleared , that it 's gon na be a fresh start for our family . sonny : it will be . it can be . you got to just -- you have to believe that . carly : okay , and i believe that you believe that . today . i believe you mean it today . but what about the day you find out who 's really responsible for morgan 's death ? what happens then ? [ scene_break ] curtis : [ laughs ] jordan : [ laughing ] no , you did n't -- no , you did not . is that from that no- name place on denfield ? curtis : mm - hmm . jordan : i mean , i knew that we were in walking distance . i -- i did n't think that they were still there ! curtis : oh , it is . and it is going strong . jordan : are you kidding me ? [ gasps ] oh , gim me gim me ! lake trout ! oh ! mmm , and their western fries ? please tell me -- please . curtis : oh , damn . i forgot the fries ! jordan : you what ? ! that is the most -- that is the most important thing ! curtis : open the bag . [ laughs ] jordan : sandwich , fries , this is -- this is the half - and - half , right ? curtis : oh , yeah . let 's see . sweet tea , easy on the lemonade . just the way you 've always liked it . jordan : mm ! this one . curtis : now , are there any , uh , other questions , doubts , or concerns ? jordan : uh , no , you need to stop talking right now and sit down here and eat with me . curtis : all right . you can , uh ... jordan : mmm ! i 'm happy right now . curtis : yeah . well , uh , looks like we scored another plus for curtis today . jordan : well , i mean ... your truck did break down . curtis : [ scoffs ] here you go with the truck . jordan : but no , for real , all the -- all the work we did with buzz , and now the food ... it reminds me of old times . yeah . curtis : yeah . jordan : back when we were totally in sync . [ scene_break ] kiki : did franco 's phone have any of his last texts or calls on it ? elizabeth : i could n't check . it must have been submerged in a puddle at one point 'cause it was -- it was soaked , and i took it to the phone store to see if they could help me dry it out , but they were more interested in selling me a new phone , so they never even checked it , which is probably for the best . [ sighs ] kiki : what about the woman that franco thought might have killed tom ? the one that he wanted to protect , because he 'd hurt someone that was close to her in the past ? do you have any ideas who that might be ? [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't believe this . are you actually giving julian credit for getting you sober ? alexis : it 's only been two days . let 's not get carried away . he did help me through the rough part . you know , i 've been to one meeting , and , uh ... he did say that , at some point , i 'm gon na have to start apologizing for what i did , and so you could ... let me know when you 're ready . sam : not yet . i 'm not -- i 'm not ready . i want you to know that i love you and -- and i support you , and i will be here for you for whatever you need , but there -- alexis : [ sighs ] sam : there 's something else that i have to talk to you about first , mom . it 's -- it 's why i came over here . it has to do with something that elizabeth webber said , and at first , i thought she was crazy , implying that you had something to do with tom baker 's murder . i insisted that there was no way that you could be involved . and she told me that i did n't know you at all . [ scoffs ] well ... is there any truth to that ? alexis : i may have killed tom baker . [ scene_break ] julian : you know , i was gon na tell you something at the hospital . then i decided against it , but ... now i 've changed my mind . so . [ clears throat ] here it is . sam showed up at alexis ' today unannounced . jason : how do you know that ? you having her followed ? huh ? julian : no . no , i know that because i was there . you see , sam discovered me . alexis decided to come clean with her . i figured you 'd eventually find out , so i just decided to tell you personally . jason : okay , julian . [ clears throat ] i will bite . tell me what ? julian : [ clears throat ] well , the reason that sam found me at alexis ' house is because , uh ... i 've been living there . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] i ca n't really tell you how i 'm gon na feel when i find out who 's responsible for morgan 's death . all i can say is i 'm probably gon na be furious , and i would bet you would be , too . but at this moment , today , i learned a painful lesson about retaliation . and i 'm gon na think twice about that . carly : not exactly what i wanted to hear . sonny : that 's all i got , and i hope -- i hope it 's enough . new year 's eve , we -- we promised that we would live for today 'cause that 's kind of all we got . you grab this minute , this hour with both hands , and you hold on tight . and i -- and i hope that little trip to australia did n't , uh , make you forget that . carly : no . it did n't . sonny : then i guess you wo n't mind ... ... if i do this . or that . or that . carly : [ whispers ] i do n't mind at all . [ scene_break ] nelle : you know what , joss ? hey . michael 's right . you know ? if there is some all - knowing , all - loving being out there , then why do bad things happen to people ? but they do . and it 's scary , and it 's random . but , you know , sometimes unfair things , horrible things , happen to people . josslyn : so what am i supposed to do , just shrug it off and forget about my feelings ? nelle : you know , someone once told me that if i stayed stuck in my anger and wallowed in it , i 'd become a victim to it . so i think what your brother is saying is that you have to move through the anger to get through the grief . joss , you are so lucky you have so many people who love you and support you , including me . you have a great family , josslyn . your stepfather made some bad choices , but i remember when i first came here , you were happy living with him and your mom . you know ? and the josslyn i see now is n't happy at all , so ... you know , maybe that 's something to consider . [ scene_break ] jordan : oh , my gosh . [ sighs ] i am so stuffed . curtis : you never could eat a full order . jordan : [ giggles ] curtis : give me this . jordan : yeah , well , i guess some things never change . like that fish sandwich . and why is it called lake trout when it 's neither trout or from a lake ? curtis : a lake . jordan : why ? [ both chuckle ] curtis : remember travis and wren ? they used to call that catfish . jordan : i know . curtis : catfish ? come on . jordan : no . how about richie and eliza thinking that it was whitefish , when everybody knows that it 's snapper ! i do n't know what they 're thinking . curtis : or do they ? jordan : see ... wow . just up all night in the back of van , discussing the fish sandwich and just -- curtis : mm . mm - hmm . jordan : man . that was so tedious . curtis : some of the best times of my life . i mean , we could , you know , wait this out in separate rooms . um , you know , you could do your top - cop thing and i could -- i suppose i could go back to my room and practice mindfulness and , you know , reflect on my misdeeds and how i can be a better man . jordan : give me a break . curtis : no ? jordan : no . curtis : or maybe , perhaps , we could continue reminiscing with a sizzling , steamin ' , red - hot game of poker . jordan : i 'm dealing . [ scene_break ] carly : i have to go . sonny : what do you mean ? carly : i just , i -- sonny : what 's wrong ? carly : nothing . nothing 's wrong . sonny : come on . carly : nothing . i just have to -- i got to get to josslyn . you know ? i have to check on her . she was really upset . sonny : no , i understand . i understand . you know , joss is your first priority . carly : yeah . she is . sonny : i just -- i do n't like saying goodbye to you . carly : i hate saying goodbye to you , too . but i have to . [ chuckles ] sonny : what do you mean ? carly : i got to go . [ laughs ] hey , sweetheart . i was just on my way to get you . michael : um , joss has something to tell you guys . nelle : i 'm gon na give you all some privacy . michael : no , no , no , no . nelle . i wanted you here . you were as much a part of this as i was . josslyn : michael taught me how to ride a bike . you know , morgan taught me to keep trying . he said even if my knees were bruised , my legs were bruised , my hands were scraped ... even if it hurt , i had to get back on and ride . he said it hurt sometimes to be brave . but it hurts even more to give up . he said if i give up , i 'd never know how to ride a bike and i 'd regret it . so ... i wo n't give up on you , sonny . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i have been following up on the woman franco 's been protecting , and i 'm hoping to get confirmation on that soon . kiki : can you tell me who it is ? elizabeth : i think it 's too soon to say anything . kiki : okay . but if this woman did kill tom baker , what 's to stop her from killing again ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] oh ... no , this woman is n't capable of that . kiki : [ sighs ] maybe it is time we go to the police and let them in on what we know . i mean , if they think that franco might be innocent , and they have another suspect , at least they can see if she did anything to him . [ scene_break ] alexis : i left the bar , and i ended up in an alley . and he was there and he approached me . and i screamed for help , and then he ... pulled a knife on me , just like julian did , and i went crazy . and i somehow got hold of the knife . sam : and then what ? alexis : i do n't know . i do n't remember . [ sniffles ] but the body was found in that alley with some strange knife and ... i was holding a knife , so who else could it be ? sam : i do n't -- mom , the police would have questioned you if they had any evidence against you , right ? alexis : they 're chasing after franco . sam : yeah , but franco 's missing . they think he 's on the run . alexis : but he did n't do it . and he 's got something on me . sam : oh , mom . alexis : and ... i fully expect the police to come knocking on my door . sam : hey . i got to go . i love you . [ door closes ] alexis : i 'm sorry , sam . [ scene_break ] jason : so , rudge , a man that you 're not connected with whatsoever did n't go pay alexis a visit . he came to her house to see you . about what ? julian : [ sighs ] you know what ? i think i 've told you everything i can tell you . jason : of course . you have n't told me anything . sit down ! talk to me ! julian : i got to go ! . i 'll be seeing you around . jason : of course , you do . [ groans ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : thank you for that . it makes me feel great . uh , your mom and i were talking , and we -- we came to the conclusion , we 're just gon na take it day to day , and , uh , you 're gon na stay with her , and i 'll see you whenever i can . josslyn : that sounds great . sonny : yeah ? josslyn : is avery here ? i 've really missed her . sonny : yeah , she 's upstairs . she 's about to wake up from her nap . josslyn : can i go see her ? sonny : you can go do anything you want . go upstairs and see her . [ laughs ] [ sniffles ] carly : i ca n't thank you guys enough . i mean , how -- i went around and around with josslyn for 20 hours . you spent an hour with her and a complete turnaround ? nelle : well , michael 's really wonderful with her . he 's a great big brother . michael : well , nelle deserves big props , too . nelle : i just told the truth . joss is lucky to have such a wonderful stepfather , you know ? one who will always be there for her .

sharon : no , i could never get him to go to someone like that . i did ask noah to help , though i 'm not sure if that 's gon na happen . i feel bad asking our son to get in the middle of it , but my attorney wants me to fight dirty . dylan : and you do n't ? sharon : no , absolutely not . faith is older now . you know , she 's clever . she 's smart . she 'll know what 's going on . but if nick 's family starts throwing their weight around , i may never visit with faith alone again . dylan : yeah , victor ca n't own every judge in town . sharon : well , he does n't have to . his name 's victor newman . dylan : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] you 're a great mom . that 's something you can prove . you 're capable , you 're employed . sharon : oh , no , i 'm not employed anymore . actually , phyllis took great pleasure in letting me know that i 'm fired . dylan : phyllis ? not jack ? sharon : i do n't know . maybe it was an oversight or something he ... dylan : she ca n't do that . that 's got to be jack 's decision , right ? you go back to jabot , and you get your job back . joe : this whole event makes you feel complicit somehow , right ? as if g.c.a.c . is backing my development project . lily : that 's how it looks , do n't you think ? joe : well , so maybe we move it to a different venue . and maybe it 's time i check into a different hotel . kelly : no , no , no . look how much we got done in one sitting , and i do n't have anything else to concentrate on , which means i can give it my full attention . joe : look , you 're excellent at what you do . i 'd be more than willing to recommend you and the athletic club to a less controversial event . kelly : lily , do n't you agree that we can do this event the way it needs to be done , regardless of other issues ? joe : i can explain to cane that we 're moving it . no harm , no foul . lily : oh , my gosh , it 's fine . okay ? the gcac is happy to handle your event . kelly : and you do n't need to move to another hotel , obviously . joe : but you 're gon na be biting your tongue the entire time . i 'm not a bad guy , lily . lily : i did n't say you are , but you are backing a bad project . joe : okay , that 's your opinion . lily : and here i am , already biting my tongue . joe : i 'm one of the good guys , lily . i 'm gon na prove it to you . lauren : that was educational and very overwhelming . here , why do n't you take surgery ? and i 'll tackle radiation , and then we can switch . michael : do n't forget about hormone therapies . you know , there are three different hormone therapies for one little , tiny prostate cancer . lauren : because it spread to the outside of the prostate . you know , the doctor feels that the combination of all of the treatments would be far more productive . michael : [ scoffs ] therapeutic . none of this sounds therapeutic -- this , uh , herbs , acupuncture . now , if it were a nice massage and martini , that 's therapeutic . lauren : well , if the doctor says that 's okay , then you should go for it . michael : yeah , well , maybe it 'll help stave off the bone - crushing , life- withering side effects he mentioned . lauren : he said possible side effects . michael : yeah , well , i already won the cancer lottery . why not win the side- effects lottery , too ? why have one side effect when you can have them all ? lauren : maybe we should talk to that patient of his that 's in remission . michael : [ scoffs ] yeah , i 'm already the star of my own cancer show . i 'm not ready to share the spotlight . lauren : remission , honey . he said remission . michael : he also mentioned getting a second opinion . lauren : and i think we should do that immediately . what are you doing ? michael : i am not yet a full - time patient . i am still an attorney . i 'm gon na go to my job , and i 'm gon na forget about prostates and treatment and all of this , and for , you know , a few hours , i 'm gon na pretend to have my old life . lily : [ sighs ] god , can you believe that guy ? kelly : who ? what ? oh , joe ? lily : he 's just always on , you know ? he 's just always working it . kelly : yeah , i know . i hate charming guys . lily : no , i 'm serious . and acting like he would take his business elsewhere like he 's doing me a favor ? kelly : or maybe as the client , he feels like he should n't have to defend his event . lily : whatever . either way , he 's playing us . kelly : well , i personally do n't mind . i mean , he 's cane 's friend , and business is business . lily : well , then why ca n't he keep it business ? why does he have to go through this whole thing about charming people and flirting and playing games ? it 's insulting . kelly : has it been that bad ? lily : yes . i mean , whatever . i do n't know . no . i just -- cane says it 's just how the guy goes through life and i should n't take it personally . kelly : has he overtly hit on you ? lily : no . he would n't . i do n't know . i just feel slimy after being around him , like he 's playing cane and me , which he is . kelly : well , some guys are just like that , you know ? the charm oozes . like i said , i hate them . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to sound completely bitter . lily : no , you do n't sound bitter . you just sound hurt , and i 'm really sorry jack did that to you . kelly : me , too . lily : the staff told me what happened with you and phyllis . kelly : oh , i 'm so sorry . that was completely unprofessional . lily : no , screw professional . knowing phyllis , she probably pushed your buttons . kelly : oh , she did . every button i have ... twice . lots of cheap shots and low blows , and i got right down in the mud with her . told her that what jack and i had together was n't just some cheap fling -- that it was real and special . lily : ouch . kelly : i wanted phyllis to hurt just as much as i do . only difference is she has jack to comfort her . me ... i 'm on my own . jack : no avery ? phyllis : no . she had to go play super lawyer . jack : well , good . put that down . come here . phyllis : wow . jack : wow , indeed . phyllis : what was that for ? jack : because i love you , and i thought it was amazing how you handled avery earlier . phyllis : thank you . i appreciate you saying that . but at the same time , it offends the hell out of me . jack : well , no , it was a compliment . i thought you handled avery 's engagement announcement with grace and charm . phyllis : why do i get extra points for that ? she is my sister . she 's happy . i 'm her sister . i 'm happy for her . it should n't be some big feat of heroism for me not flipping out on someone . jack : you 're right . i was being overly cautious . phyllis : well , look , you 're right , because i 've been flipping out ever since i got back to town . and , of course , almost annihilating kelly does n't exactly make me look warm and cuddly . jack : i think we agreed to put all that behind us . if you 've changed your mind , i can get flak jackets for the whole town . phyllis : no . i 'm okay . i am the mature , responsible [ inhales deeply ] grateful- to - be - alive me . jack : well , i may have to kiss you again . phyllis : i - i just am going to reserve the right to go off on people who mess with summer or daniel or lucy or you . jack : absolutely . but we keep the past in the past , right ? phyllis : yeah , as long as kelly stays out of my eyeline . jack : okay , here we go . phyllis : no , i 'm just saying , you know , this , us -- i woke up for this , so i am going to reserve the right to protect it . jack : so am i . avery : yes , the patient 's name is sharon newman . this is a notification to expect a subpoena tomorrow regarding her ect records . right . the subpoena will give you no choice . thank you . joe : well , you still do that thing . yeah , twitch with your brow when you get all worked up . yeah , it used to be over your law books , and on occasion , it was for me . but if i do recall correctly , most of the time , it ended up well for both of us . avery : what do you want , joe ? joe : to tell you you 're making a mistake marrying dylan mcavoy . sharon : i am the reason jack thought he had a daughter and then the reason she was taken away . trying to convince him to give me my job back ... dylan : you were married to him once , right ? sharon : yeah , i was . dylan : he never made any mistakes ? sharon : of course he did . he knows it . dylan : is he a good guy ? i mean , he seems like a decent guy . sharon : he is . so is nick , but nick insists he 's never gon na forgive me . dylan : we 're not talking about nick . we 're talking about jack . we 're not talking about marriage . we 're talking about your job . you were hired to do a job , and you 're good at it . sharon : you 're talking about walking into jabot and asking for a favor from a man who i hurt . besides , you know , maybe the point is n't even the job . maybe the judge would like to see me be a stay - at - home mom . dylan : so , you lose nick . you lose your job . you lose being able to walk in here and sit down at the coffeehouse . i mean , how much can one person lose ? sharon : i do n't know . i do n't want to find out . dylan : that 's why you need this . you need to know that you do n't deserve to lose everything you ever had , and if it starts by asking for your job back , so be it . do it for faith . hilary : so , is neil on his way to see lily ? devon : uh , yeah , the cabby 's all set to help him into the athletic club if he needs , but the doorman and the valet know neil , so he 'll be fine . hilary : why do you think she wanted to see him ? devon : i have no idea . but , uh , do you mind if we just enjoy each other right now ? 'cause we do n't get spend that much time together . hilary : i really need to get to the office . devon : right this second ? you ca n't sit and talk with me ? come on . i had a dream about you the other night . i dreamt that we were laying in bed , and we fell asleep in each others ' arms and woke up the exact same way hilary : that 's interesting . thought you 'd be dreaming about gwen by now . lily : you know i love you . neil : i know you do , and i love you , too . stop trying to butter my bread . lily : i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm explaining that i love you , and i do n't know . i just felt like at thanksgiving , it seemed like you were trying a little too hard to seem okay , and i do n't know if it 's because you feel like you ca n't talk to us , but i 'm just worried that if you do n't talk ... neil : what ? go on . lily : i 'm just really worried that you might start drinking again . am i crazy and out of line ? neil : no . lily , you 're not crazy . i - i am an alcoholic , and i - i always will be . lily , i can remember the taste and the burn of the very last drink that i had . i am tired of braille , walking canes , and going out in public , and i know that people are staring at me . so , yeah . yeah , some days , i feel like drinking is the only answer . i know it 's not gon na restore my eyesight , but , damn it , it 's gon na help me take away the pain just for a few minutes . lily : just please do n't start again , okay ? neil : where are you ? i 'm sorry . hey , i am so sorry , but i had to . i had to tell you the truth , lily . lily : no , i 'm glad you did , and i 'm gon na tell you the truth , too . you have a lot of people who love you . you have me , you have devon , you have hilary , and you have a little boy who wants you to read to him . neil : oh , god , i know . moses . i know . that 's the main reason why i - i do n't pick up that first drink , baby . lily : good . so , how tired are you of learning braille ? [ both chuckle ] neil : man , i 'm -- loud and proud . i 'm standing strong . lily : okay . i have a surprise for you . neil : yeah ? what you got ? lily : i ordered a couple of books in braille to read to moses . neil : that 's excellent . thank you from me and moses for that . lily : yeah . do you want to try right now ? here . kelly : [ gasps ] good morning . jack : morning . kelly : excuse me . jack : kelly , wait . kelly : yes ? jack : this is gon na happen again -- the two of us in the same room . we maybe have to figure out a way to deal with it . kelly : it 's not a problem for me , jack , as long as your fiancée is n't involved . jack : you have to understand . kelly : i -- jack : phyllis lost a year of her life . kelly : i do understand loss , jack . i know what it can do to a person -- the way it makes your soul dry up because it 's easier not to feel , and then the world gives you a reason to feel , and suddenly , you 're a raw wound all over again . jack : phyllis fully intends to back off . kelly : is that what she told you ? jack : she did . kelly : and you believed her ? jack : look , her behavior towards you was inexcusable . kelly : but you 're excusing it anyway . jack : i am trying to explain her to you . kelly : jack , all that year asleep did for phyllis was give her an excuse to be an even bigger bitch than she was before . sharon : jack ? phyllis : ugh . this is really not happening right now . sharon : i 'm looking for jack . when will he be back ? phyllis : why ? did you bring a dna test saying mariah is his ? sharon : i 'll come back later . phyllis : that might be tough when i tell security to bar the door . you are no longer a jabot employee . sharon : jack hired me . it 's up to him to terminate my employment . phyllis : you came to convince jack to keep you on ? sharon : it 's his company . phyllis : and i am his fiancée . sharon : which has nothing to do with my job . phyllis : sharon , you need to get a grip . he is never , ever going to side with you over me . devon : you 're jealous of the woman that you handpicked to be my girlfriend ? hilary : [ sighs ] i do n't care what you do . devon : what are you talking about ? yes , you -- you obviously care . you care like i care that you go home and get in bed with my father every night . and i do n't say anything 'cause this is the situation that we got ourselves in , but , i mean , you 're getting all riled up over a half - lipped kiss with a girl that you picked . hilary : i know . i have no business being jealous , b it plays in my head . and you can go and kiss any woman you want in public ... except me . devon : and you do n't think i want to ? i mean , really , i see you every day , and i have to avoid you . seeing you with neil -- that 's worse . i mean , i do n't know what else i can do . i do n't know what we can do . neil : `` bumpy just watched the ants go by . `` lily : [ gasps ] dad ! that was so good . you nailed that . neil : no , i did n't . stop it . lily : yes , you did . i did n't realize you made so much progress . neil : lily , i have n't made any progress at all . lily : what are you talking about ? you just read the book . neil : i know this book . i know this book like the back of my hand . you know , i 've read it a million times to mattie , charlie , and now moses . lily : oh , um ... neil : your dad 's a fake . i 'm getting nowhere fast with this braille expertise , are n't i ? lily : i 'm really sorry . i should n't have pushed you . i 'm just gon na take the books back . neil : no , no , no . you 're not gon na take the books back , okay ? i 'm not gon na drink over this . i 'm not gon na do that . i am just gon na -- i 'm gon na try harder . lily : really ? well , in that case , i have another book . `` the squishy meatball . `` you do n't know that one by heart , do you ? neil : sadly , i do n't . lily : [ chuckles ] neil : but it sounds like my kind of story .

[ next_on ] lily : why did you invite hilary to come to your private suite ? paul : chris and i are gon na have a baby . and i have you to thank for it . adam : or what it was like to stand there and watch your son go blind , knowing you could n't do a damn thing about it ! sage : except run down a child ! adam : damn it , that is not what happened ! | lily continues to butt heads with joe about the warehouse district development project and later tells kelly that she ca n't shake the feeling that joe is hiding something about the project from her and cane . lily tells neil that she is worried that his blindness might cause him to want to drink again . neil admits that he has been tempted to drink again but thoughts of his family keep him from drowning his sorrows in the bottle . devon and hilary continue to be frustrated about only having stolen moments together but resign themselves to the fact that it will have to be that way for a while . | <s>[INST] avery : is this a bad time ? phyllis : no , no , no . we 're having coffee , and i 'm not in a coma , so it 's an excellent time . avery : ah . jack : can i get you a cup ? avery : no , thank you . i just came to talk . well , actually , to share some news . phyllis : progress . people willingly giving me information . great . hit me . avery : okay . uh , well , uh , you and jack are n't the only ones who are getting married . dylan and i are engaged . kelly : so , we will have a waitstaff with passed appetizers , champagne , and full bar . joe : well , you know what the movers and shakers of g.c . expect . plan on exactly that so that this cocktail party impresses . kelly : that 's what we specialize in . lily : you know , the locals are n't money - hungry land grubbers . you ca n't just give them a few drinks and think they 'll side with you over dylan . joe : you know , this is n't about me versus a coffeehouse . this is about revitalization , construction , investment , the excitement that comes with real change , progress . lily : [ chuckles ] you really do n't have to polish your pitch on me . 'cause , yeah , i know that you 're creating new jobs , but you 're also destroying existing ones , and people will notice that . joe : this really upsets you . well , i thought it was just because i rubbed you the wrong way . you know , i think i 've got an idea that would make this easier for you . dylan : you , uh , look like we did on recon missions . sharon : how 's that ? dylan : uh , a little jumpy , ready to duck and cover . sharon : oh , i was just making sure nick is n't here . i do n't want another blowout -- not now . and no offense , but that goes for avery , too . dylan : all clear . you can have a seat . you want a coffee and a muffin ? sharon : will your coffee make me less jumpy ? dylan : probably not , but it 's free . sharon : [ chuckles ] you have to stop being so nice to me . i 'm not used to it . dylan : uh , sharon , we 're friends . sharon : well , i still ca n't believe you have n't shunned me for what i 've done . dylan : i made a lot of mistakes . i could have gone to jail . i 'm not qualified to point fingers . sharon : well , you were n't well . you got help , and people forgave you . right now , you 're my role model . dylan : might want to aim a little higher . sharon : i regret what i did , and i always will , but right now , i have to fight even to share custody of my daughter , and i have to duck and cover to walk into the coffeehouse that i once owned . dylan : or you can just live your life and fight for what you want ... because nobody 's gon na hand you anything , so how bad do you want what you want ? michael : sweetheart . lauren : yeah ? michael : when did you get up ? lauren : ugh , i could n't sleep . michael : uh - oh . do n't tell me . lauren : yep , i 've been researching prostate - cancer treatments . michael : dr. larson is not a fan of what you 're doing . `` the internet is not our friend , `` end quote . lauren : well , i am not gon na be the one treating you . michael : well , that 's good news . lauren : mm - hmm . actually , i was also researching how cancer affects families , you know , especially adult children . michael : oh , whoa . okay , hold on . do n't tell me that , um , after everything fenmore 's been through , we 're just gon na -- we 're gon na tell him that i 'm sick . hilary : no , you 're fine . doing great , actually . you do n't even need me anymore . neil : oh , no , no , no . do n't get it twisted . the stick is one thing . you , my dear , are something else entirely . ah . hilary : hey , look at you . you 're moving with so much confidence . neil : [ sighs ] hilary : unless that 's really not how you feel . neil : oh , no . i 'm good . why would n't i be ? neil : devon , is that you ? devon : yeah , it is , dad . how 'd you know it was me ? hilary : uh , well , neil -- he is on top of his game today . neil : yeah , i 'm mastering a new skill every day . that 's the plan , my man . devon : does that include sensing when someone you know walks in ? neil : well , like you said , on top of my game . hilary : mm - hmm . neil : there 's nothing to worry about . devon : are you worried about him ? hilary : there 's no need to gang up on me . it was just a little wifely concern . i know you expected to have your sight back by now . neil : yeah , it 's true . but what do we do in life ? you know , we pray for the best and expect the worst and learn how to smell the difference between fresh- brewed dark roast and that weak stuff . devon : really ? neil : now , when did you get so gullible ? [ chuckles ] hey , is he smiling yet ? hilary : not yet . neil : no , but you are . hilary : [ chuckles ] i ca n't help it . you always make me laugh . neil : this lady right here -- she 's a great catch . now , if you stick with me , kid , i 'll show you exactly how to pick up on the right woman . sharon : maybe i 'm not as brave as you are . dylan : it 's not about being brave . it 's doing what you have to do to get your life back . sharon : you sure you want to be seen giving me a pep talk ? some people might not approve . dylan : why do n't you stop worrying about what other people think , okay ? you 're a good mom . you focus on that . sharon : but it might mean fighting with your brother and his lawyer , your girlfriend . dylan : first of all , nick can handle his own . i 'm not worried about him . and avery -- if i started letting my friends down , i would n't be the man she expects me to be . sharon : maybe i have n't paid enough for my sins . maybe i deserve this . dylan : sharon , what you did -- it 's not who you are -- at least not all of it . sharon : not everyone sees it that way . dylan : again with the `` everybody . `` stop with that . i know you . i know nick . it 's a priority to be a good parent for both of you , so you guys got to figure out how to do that and do what you have to do for the sake of your kid . michael : telling fenmore about this now ... well , i do n't think it helps anyone . lauren : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na pretend ? i mean , do you know how much energy that 's gon na take ? michael : fenmore has finally left all the chaos in his life behind . this is gon na bring him down . you know he 's gon na want to come home and be with us . this is not what he needs . lauren : you 're gon na lie to him on e - mails and texts and phone calls ? michael : i 'm not lying . i 'm omitting . lauren : and what about when he comes home for the holidays ? michael : listen to me . [ clears throat ] i want this christmas to be wonderful for you , for me , for fenmore . i want music and the tree and too much to eat and as little drama as possible . lauren : i should get dressed . and look , here 's a list of questions i made for the oncologist . why do n't you look it over and see if you want to add something ? michael : i will do that . lauren : i think it 's great we 're doing this together -- going to the doctor as a couple . michael : yeah . yes . lauren : i 'm glad you told me . michael : me , too . lauren : we 're gon na get some real answers today . then we 'll know what to do next , right ? [ chuckles ] jack : that 's terrific news , avery . avery : thank you . of course , we have n't set a date , and there 's no big announcement . phyllis : why not ? avery : what ? phyllis : why not a big announcement ? avery : oh , uh , because i 'm -- i 'm not -- we 're -- we 're not trying to steal your thunder . jack : of course not . no one would think that . phyllis : someone would . you think that someone 's me . avery : i 'm not saying you 'd be upset . phyllis : no . you actually did just say that . jack : phyllis , this has been a difficult recovery period , and i say this with all the love in the world -- your reactions have been unpredictable at best . phyllis : i 'm kind of a loose cannon . jack : those are not my words . phyllis : no . you know what ? i am . i am . it 's kind of my claim to fame , is n't it ? even before the stairs and the coma , then i come back , and i 'm even more all over the place . avery : no one faults you for that . phyllis : well , maybe you should because here you are practically apologizing for getting engaged . that is n't right . listen to me . are you listening to me ? avery : yeah . phyllis : you look scared right now . avery : yeah , well , you 're my sister . the fear is ingrained . phyllis : i am incredibly happy for you . you have loved that guy for so many years . now , i do n't know much about your ex , but he sounds like a jerk . avery : [ chuckles ] phyllis : and dylan mcavoy is not a jerk . avery : no , he is not . phyllis : look , and i know i can be a bit reactive from time to time , but i want to hear when good things happen to you , okay , honey ? avery : okay . phyllis : look , contrary to what you all apparently believe about me , i actually enjoy hearing when good things happen to good people . avery : okay . wow . [ chuckles ] jack : it sounds like the beginning of a heartfelt wedding toast . as long as things are good , i 'm out of here . congratulations , best wishes on your engagement . avery : thank you , jack . phyllis : what about mine ? jack : congratulations and best wishes on yours , too . phyllis : so , let me see . avery : oh . phyllis : [ gasps ] avery : do you like it ? phyllis : oh , avery , it 's perfect . avery : it is . he knows me so well . phyllis : ohh . okay , so , details . avery : phyllis , i ca n't . phyllis : what ? come on . i told you i can be happy for you now . avery : yeah , and i have to get to work . phyllis : all right . you working on nick 's custody case against sharon ? avery : you know i 'm not at liberty to say . phyllis : yeah , but i 'm right , are n't i ? that is just one big , extended dysfunctional family . avery : [ sighs ] phyllis : hey , let me testify against sharon . consider it your wedding gift from me . avery : if i need you , i will let you know . in the meantime , will you be happy and just enjoy your engagement ? phyllis : you and me both , kid . yes . avery : all right . see you soon . phyllis : okay . sharon : you 're right . faith is what matters here , and i want her to be with nick and me . dylan : yeah , but nick 's not there yet . sharon : no . he 's too hurt , and he 's too angry . right now , he thinks the way to protect faith is to keep her away from me , and that 's ridiculous . i 've never been a danger to faith , but ripping her out of my life -- now , that would be dangerous . dylan : i do n't think nick 's gon na listen to you right now . so , maybe a mediator , a family therapist ? sharon : no , i could never get him to go to someone like that . i did ask noah to help , though i 'm not sure if that 's gon na happen . i feel bad asking our son to get in the middle of it , but my attorney wants me to fight dirty . dylan : and you do n't ? sharon : no , absolutely not . faith is older now . you know , she 's clever . she 's smart . she 'll know what 's going on . but if nick 's family starts throwing their weight around , i may never visit with faith alone again . dylan : yeah , victor ca n't own every judge in town . sharon : well , he does n't have to . his name 's victor newman . dylan : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] you 're a great mom . that 's something you can prove . you 're capable , you 're employed . sharon : oh , no , i 'm not employed anymore . actually , phyllis took great pleasure in letting me know that i 'm fired . dylan : phyllis ? not jack ? sharon : i do n't know . maybe it was an oversight or something he ... dylan : she ca n't do that . that 's got to be jack 's decision , right ? you go back to jabot , and you get your job back . joe : this whole event makes you feel complicit somehow , right ? as if g.c.a.c . is backing my development project . lily : that 's how it looks , do n't you think ? joe : well , so maybe we move it to a different venue . and maybe it 's time i check into a different hotel . kelly : no , no , no . look how much we got done in one sitting , and i do n't have anything else to concentrate on , which means i can give it my full attention . joe : look , you 're excellent at what you do . i 'd be more than willing to recommend you and the athletic club to a less controversial event . kelly : lily , do n't you agree that we can do this event the way it needs to be done , regardless of other issues ? joe : i can explain to cane that we 're moving it . no harm , no foul . lily : oh , my gosh , it 's fine . okay ? the gcac is happy to handle your event . kelly : and you do n't need to move to another hotel , obviously . joe : but you 're gon na be biting your tongue the entire time . i 'm not a bad guy , lily . lily : i did n't say you are , but you are backing a bad project . joe : okay , that 's your opinion . lily : and here i am , already biting my tongue . joe : i 'm one of the good guys , lily . i 'm gon na prove it to you . lauren : that was educational and very overwhelming . here , why do n't you take surgery ? and i 'll tackle radiation , and then we can switch . michael : do n't forget about hormone therapies . you know , there are three different hormone therapies for one little , tiny prostate cancer . lauren : because it spread to the outside of the prostate . you know , the doctor feels that the combination of all of the treatments would be far more productive . michael : [ scoffs ] therapeutic . none of this sounds therapeutic -- this , uh , herbs , acupuncture . now , if it were a nice massage and martini , that 's therapeutic . lauren : well , if the doctor says that 's okay , then you should go for it . michael : yeah , well , maybe it 'll help stave off the bone - crushing , life- withering side effects he mentioned . lauren : he said possible side effects . michael : yeah , well , i already won the cancer lottery . why not win the side- effects lottery , too ? why have one side effect when you can have them all ? lauren : maybe we should talk to that patient of his that 's in remission . michael : [ scoffs ] yeah , i 'm already the star of my own cancer show . i 'm not ready to share the spotlight . lauren : remission , honey . he said remission . michael : he also mentioned getting a second opinion . lauren : and i think we should do that immediately . what are you doing ? michael : i am not yet a full - time patient . i am still an attorney . i 'm gon na go to my job , and i 'm gon na forget about prostates and treatment and all of this , and for , you know , a few hours , i 'm gon na pretend to have my old life . lily : [ sighs ] god , can you believe that guy ? kelly : who ? what ? oh , joe ? lily : he 's just always on , you know ? he 's just always working it . kelly : yeah , i know . i hate charming guys . lily : no , i 'm serious . and acting like he would take his business elsewhere like he 's doing me a favor ? kelly : or maybe as the client , he feels like he should n't have to defend his event . lily : whatever . either way , he 's playing us . kelly : well , i personally do n't mind . i mean , he 's cane 's friend , and business is business . lily : well , then why ca n't he keep it business ? why does he have to go through this whole thing about charming people and flirting and playing games ? it 's insulting . kelly : has it been that bad ? lily : yes . i mean , whatever . i do n't know . no . i just -- cane says it 's just how the guy goes through life and i should n't take it personally . kelly : has he overtly hit on you ? lily : no . he would n't . i do n't know . i just feel slimy after being around him , like he 's playing cane and me , which he is . kelly : well , some guys are just like that , you know ? the charm oozes . like i said , i hate them . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to sound completely bitter . lily : no , you do n't sound bitter . you just sound hurt , and i 'm really sorry jack did that to you . kelly : me , too . lily : the staff told me what happened with you and phyllis . kelly : oh , i 'm so sorry . that was completely unprofessional . lily : no , screw professional . knowing phyllis , she probably pushed your buttons . kelly : oh , she did . every button i have ... twice . lots of cheap shots and low blows , and i got right down in the mud with her . told her that what jack and i had together was n't just some cheap fling -- that it was real and special . lily : ouch . kelly : i wanted phyllis to hurt just as much as i do . only difference is she has jack to comfort her . me ... i 'm on my own . jack : no avery ? phyllis : no . she had to go play super lawyer . jack : well , good . put that down . come here . phyllis : wow . jack : wow , indeed . phyllis : what was that for ? jack : because i love you , and i thought it was amazing how you handled avery earlier . phyllis : thank you . i appreciate you saying that . but at the same time , it offends the hell out of me . jack : well , no , it was a compliment . i thought you handled avery 's engagement announcement with grace and charm . phyllis : why do i get extra points for that ? she is my sister . she 's happy . i 'm her sister . i 'm happy for her . it should n't be some big feat of heroism for me not flipping out on someone . jack : you 're right . i was being overly cautious . phyllis : well , look , you 're right , because i 've been flipping out ever since i got back to town . and , of course , almost annihilating kelly does n't exactly make me look warm and cuddly . jack : i think we agreed to put all that behind us . if you 've changed your mind , i can get flak jackets for the whole town . phyllis : no . i 'm okay . i am the mature , responsible [ inhales deeply ] grateful- to - be - alive me . jack : well , i may have to kiss you again . phyllis : i - i just am going to reserve the right to go off on people who mess with summer or daniel or lucy or you . jack : absolutely . but we keep the past in the past , right ? phyllis : yeah , as long as kelly stays out of my eyeline . jack : okay , here we go . phyllis : no , i 'm just saying , you know , this , us -- i woke up for this , so i am going to reserve the right to protect it . jack : so am i . avery : yes , the patient 's name is sharon newman . this is a notification to expect a subpoena tomorrow regarding her ect records . right . the subpoena will give you no choice . thank you . joe : well , you still do that thing . yeah , twitch with your brow when you get all worked up . yeah , it used to be over your law books , and on occasion , it was for me . but if i do recall correctly , most of the time , it ended up well for both of us . avery : what do you want , joe ? joe : to tell you you 're making a mistake marrying dylan mcavoy . sharon : i am the reason jack thought he had a daughter and then the reason she was taken away . trying to convince him to give me my job back ... dylan : you were married to him once , right ? sharon : yeah , i was . dylan : he never made any mistakes ? sharon : of course he did . he knows it . dylan : is he a good guy ? i mean , he seems like a decent guy . sharon : he is . so is nick , but nick insists he 's never gon na forgive me . dylan : we 're not talking about nick . we 're talking about jack . we 're not talking about marriage . we 're talking about your job . you were hired to do a job , and you 're good at it . sharon : you 're talking about walking into jabot and asking for a favor from a man who i hurt . besides , you know , maybe the point is n't even the job . maybe the judge would like to see me be a stay - at - home mom . dylan : so , you lose nick . you lose your job . you lose being able to walk in here and sit down at the coffeehouse . i mean , how much can one person lose ? sharon : i do n't know . i do n't want to find out . dylan : that 's why you need this . you need to know that you do n't deserve to lose everything you ever had , and if it starts by asking for your job back , so be it . do it for faith . hilary : so , is neil on his way to see lily ? devon : uh , yeah , the cabby 's all set to help him into the athletic club if he needs , but the doorman and the valet know neil , so he 'll be fine . hilary : why do you think she wanted to see him ? devon : i have no idea . but , uh , do you mind if we just enjoy each other right now ? 'cause we do n't get spend that much time together . hilary : i really need to get to the office . devon : right this second ? you ca n't sit and talk with me ? come on . i had a dream about you the other night . i dreamt that we were laying in bed , and we fell asleep in each others ' arms and woke up the exact same way hilary : that 's interesting . thought you 'd be dreaming about gwen by now . lily : you know i love you . neil : i know you do , and i love you , too . stop trying to butter my bread . lily : i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm explaining that i love you , and i do n't know . i just felt like at thanksgiving , it seemed like you were trying a little too hard to seem okay , and i do n't know if it 's because you feel like you ca n't talk to us , but i 'm just worried that if you do n't talk ... neil : what ? go on . lily : i 'm just really worried that you might start drinking again . am i crazy and out of line ? neil : no . lily , you 're not crazy . i - i am an alcoholic , and i - i always will be . lily , i can remember the taste and the burn of the very last drink that i had . i am tired of braille , walking canes , and going out in public , and i know that people are staring at me . so , yeah . yeah , some days , i feel like drinking is the only answer . i know it 's not gon na restore my eyesight , but , damn it , it 's gon na help me take away the pain just for a few minutes . lily : just please do n't start again , okay ? neil : where are you ? i 'm sorry . hey , i am so sorry , but i had to . i had to tell you the truth , lily . lily : no , i 'm glad you did , and i 'm gon na tell you the truth , too . you have a lot of people who love you . you have me , you have devon , you have hilary , and you have a little boy who wants you to read to him . neil : oh , god , i know . moses . i know . that 's the main reason why i - i do n't pick up that first drink , baby . lily : good . so , how tired are you of learning braille ? [ both chuckle ] neil : man , i 'm -- loud and proud . i 'm standing strong . lily : okay . i have a surprise for you . neil : yeah ? what you got ? lily : i ordered a couple of books in braille to read to moses . neil : that 's excellent . thank you from me and moses for that . lily : yeah . do you want to try right now ? here . kelly : [ gasps ] good morning . jack : morning . kelly : excuse me . jack : kelly , wait . kelly : yes ? jack : this is gon na happen again -- the two of us in the same room . we maybe have to figure out a way to deal with it . kelly : it 's not a problem for me , jack , as long as your fiancée is n't involved . jack : you have to understand . kelly : i -- jack : phyllis lost a year of her life . kelly : i do understand loss , jack . i know what it can do to a person -- the way it makes your soul dry up because it 's easier not to feel , and then the world gives you a reason to feel , and suddenly , you 're a raw wound all over again . jack : phyllis fully intends to back off . kelly : is that what she told you ? jack : she did . kelly : and you believed her ? jack : look , her behavior towards you was inexcusable . kelly : but you 're excusing it anyway . jack : i am trying to explain her to you . kelly : jack , all that year asleep did for phyllis was give her an excuse to be an even bigger bitch than she was before . sharon : jack ? phyllis : ugh . this is really not happening right now . sharon : i 'm looking for jack . when will he be back ? phyllis : why ? did you bring a dna test saying mariah is his ? sharon : i 'll come back later . phyllis : that might be tough when i tell security to bar the door . you are no longer a jabot employee . sharon : jack hired me . it 's up to him to terminate my employment . phyllis : you came to convince jack to keep you on ? sharon : it 's his company . phyllis : and i am his fiancée . sharon : which has nothing to do with my job . phyllis : sharon , you need to get a grip . he is never , ever going to side with you over me . devon : you 're jealous of the woman that you handpicked to be my girlfriend ? hilary : [ sighs ] i do n't care what you do . devon : what are you talking about ? yes , you -- you obviously care . you care like i care that you go home and get in bed with my father every night . and i do n't say anything 'cause this is the situation that we got ourselves in , but , i mean , you 're getting all riled up over a half - lipped kiss with a girl that you picked . hilary : i know . i have no business being jealous , b it plays in my head . and you can go and kiss any woman you want in public ... except me . devon : and you do n't think i want to ? i mean , really , i see you every day , and i have to avoid you . seeing you with neil -- that 's worse . i mean , i do n't know what else i can do . i do n't know what we can do . neil : `` bumpy just watched the ants go by . `` lily : [ gasps ] dad ! that was so good . you nailed that . neil : no , i did n't . stop it . lily : yes , you did . i did n't realize you made so much progress . neil : lily , i have n't made any progress at all . lily : what are you talking about ? you just read the book . neil : i know this book . i know this book like the back of my hand . you know , i 've read it a million times to mattie , charlie , and now moses . lily : oh , um ... neil : your dad 's a fake . i 'm getting nowhere fast with this braille expertise , are n't i ? lily : i 'm really sorry . i should n't have pushed you . i 'm just gon na take the books back . neil : no , no , no . you 're not gon na take the books back , okay ? i 'm not gon na drink over this . i 'm not gon na do that . i am just gon na -- i 'm gon na try harder . lily : really ? well , in that case , i have another book . `` the squishy meatball . `` you do n't know that one by heart , do you ? neil : sadly , i do n't . lily : [ chuckles ] neil : but it sounds like my kind of story .

bridget : so , we do n't know whose baby taylor is carrying . dr. caron : well , it was nick 's sperm . bridget : that 's great . and was it the donor 's eggs or was it my mother 's egg ? dr. caron : the paperwork is n't clear . bridget : there are supposed to be fail - safes every step of the way . dr. caron : yeah , you know the code number for the fertilized eggs was never entered in the system . bridget : see , i do n't even understand how that 's possible . lab technician # 1 : it may have been my fault . bridget : what do you mean ? lab technician : my allergies were bad that night . i took some medicine , it made me a little spacey . bridget : so , you are saying that you were impaired ? and you worked , knowing you were impaired ? dr. caron : doctor -- bridget : putting yourself in a situation where you could wreak havoc on people 's lives ? lab technician # 1 : i 'm sorry . i made a mistake . bridget : yes . yes , you did . dr. caron : this is n't helping . bridget : you 're right . the only thing that will help is knowing exactly what happened that night . which eggs were used and i need answers ! [ scene_break ] jackie : what are you doing here ? nick : i own the company . remember ? jackie : why are you not at home with taylor ? nick : because i wanted to stop by here and get some work , so i could work at home with taylor . jackie : well , i should think so too . after what you 've been through . down in that horrible cell -- nick : it was n't so bad , mother . featherbed , steam shower -- jackie : stop joking . nick : if i do n't joke about it , mother , i really will murder someone . jackie : would that person possibly be stephanie forrester ? nick : change the subject , please . i 'm in too good a mood . you got my memo about the maternity line , right ? now , i want you to move on that . i want it out by the holiday , spring , at the latest . jackie : well , by spring , taylor 's not going to be needing maternity wear , is she , darling ? you 're going to have a brand new baby . so much to look forward to . nick : i 'll remind my bride of that when she 's on her knees , praying to the porcelain god . she has morning sickness . jackie : oh , no . poor thing . is she miserable ? she must be . i know i was . nick : it 's just downhill from there with me , was n't it ? jackie : he 's joking again , are n't you ? although a week ago , you know , things were quite different . nick : yes , they were . jackie : stephanie and ridge , they 're just out to get you . trying to pin a murder on you , and you know , they might have succeeded , if it were n't for brooke . poor woman . what she was subjected to , i just -- nick : what are you talking about ? jackie : brooke did n't tell you ? [ scene_break ] brooke : no , stephanie , i have n't called rick yet . because taylor and i are still discussing it . do n't you have a business to run ? fine , i 'll call you later . taylor : boy , stephanie 's still anxious ? brooke : well , she 's not in control right now , so it 's driving her nuts . taylor : well brooke , i still have to remind you that we ca n't predict how this could effect rick . i mean , to remind him what he did . he tried to kill grant chambers . brooke : he was a boy then taylor . he 's a grown man now . taylor : and he 's repressed that memory for a long time , that 's how deeply he was traumatized . brooke : are you trying to back out of helping him remember ? taylor : no . i told you that i would work with him . and i will . brooke : well , if your having second thoughts -- taylor : i understand how important this is to ridge 's case that it come out that he did n't try to kill grant . i get that . brooke : so you do care about ridge . taylor : of course i do , ridge and i have children together . brooke : and i have a child with him too , taylor . that 's why this is so important to me . if ridge is convicted he will go to prison . ridge did a favor for rick many , many years ago . now it 's time for rick to return the favor . taylor : brooke i -- i can see you 've given this a lot of thought . and i 'm sure that it 's also occurred to you that ridge must really appreciate how supportive you 're being of him . brooke : what 's that supposed to mean ? as if i did n't already know . [ scene_break ] dr. caron : okay , let 's all stay calm , all right ? bridget : so you remember handing me the petri dish that was labeled `` marone , `` is that correct ? lab technician # 2 : you asked for the `` marone `` eggs , yes . bridget : no , i asked for the marone donor eggs , for the ivf . lab technician # 2 : i 'm sorry , that 's not the way i remember it . dr. caron : the donor eggs that had just been harvested , not frozen eggs that had to be brought down from the storage facility and prepared . did you spell that out for them ? bridget : well , i will from now on ! lab technician # 2 : no , she did n't , doctor . bridget : you both made assumptions without verifying exactly what i was asking you to do . and what i really , really do n't understand -- why were the donor eggs labeled `` marone ? `` of course there was a mix up ! dr. caron : it was a potential mix up . lab technician # 2 : the donor wanted to remain anonymous . okay ? we could n't use her name , that 's lab procedure . bridget : and it never occurred to you exactly what could happen ? that having two eggs in there with the same name -- i mean , it just does n't make sense . lab technician # 2 : i do what i 'm told . and only what i 'm told . bridget : so , `` i was just doing my job . `` is that your excuse ? let me explain to you about -- dr. caron : hang on , hang on , nobody 's making excuses here . we 're all trying to get to the bottom of this . okay , you guys can go , just leave your pagers on , okay ? bridget : why , why , why did i get involved in this ? why am i putting myself through this ? dr. caron : bridget , it 's appropriate to be concerned , not panic - stricken . we keep digging , okay ? bridget : okay . dr. caron : maybe there 's some detail that we have n't thought of . and in the mean time go home , and try to get your mind off of this . bridget : get my mind off of it ? get my mind off -- this is a disaster , a disaster . you do n't understand the history between my mother and taylor . just the thought -- the thought that my mother 's eggs could have been used to create the embryo that i implanted -- i ca n't believe i did this . i ca n't believe i did n't double - check it . how could i let this happen ? this is completely my fault .

jordan : with this conversation ? yeah . god , i hope so . shawn : because i actually came over here to say thank you . jordan : oh . really ? why ? shawn : for giving me the heads up that michael was in trouble . you know , because of your tip - off , i was able to get to him before jerome 's hired gun was able to do michael in -- and his little friend that was there with him that night . silas : this will be for this week , plus a little severance pay . rosalie : dr. clay , why are you firing me ?

sabrina : yes . carlos : why ? sabrina : this little boy has a big crush on emma , and he -- apparently , he overheard luke plotting something , and when the boy confronted him and threatened to expose him , luke arranged for the accident to prove to the boy that he could hurt emma . carlos : that does n't -- it does n't even seem possible . sabrina : yeah , but what if it is ? that accident could have been directed at spencer cassadine and not at me and gabriel . carlos : or luke is lying to the kid . he used the accident to get the boy to do what he wanted . sabrina : i guess he could have . but is n't it possible that ava was doing the same thing to you ? morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . ava , ava , what 's happening ? you 're not -- you 're not -- you 're not having the baby right now ? ava : no ! god , no ! i hope not . morgan : okay . ava : it 's too soon . morgan : then what is it ? what is it ? ava : you know , it 's probably just like the other night when i ended up at the hospital . it 's just cr - cramps ! morgan : oh , wow . wow . those are so cramps . ava : oh , tell me about it ! morgan : they gave you pills for the pain . where are the pills at ? ava : i do n't have them . jordan has them . jordan : hey , i 'm just glad that you got to michael on time , you know ? shawn : i do n't get it . you know sonny 's hell - bent on getting to ava , but you wo n't give up any info . jordan : you 're damn right i wo n't . shawn : yeah . you go out of your way to warn me that someone 's out to kill sonny 's kid . jordan : so , what 's your point ? shawn : well , the hit must have come straight from someone in the jeromes ' organization . now , you 're fiercely loyal to the family you work for when it 's about ava , but when someone puts a hit on michael , you betray them without hesitation . jordan : how 'bout that ? [ chuckles ] shawn : you know julian would kill you in a heartbeat if he found out you leaked the hit . why would you risk your own life to spare sonny corinthos ' son ? jordan : because of you . rosalie : you mean dr. clay knows everything about what you 've been -- nina : silas knows that i 've been back on my feet for a while , thanks to rosalie and all her help to get me there . silas : and now her work here is done . rosalie : well , i 'm so glad that the secret is finally out ! is n't it awesome , dr. clay ? you must be buggin ' . silas : oh , i 'm -- i 'm buggin ' , and it is awesome , rosalie . however , nina 's recuperation -- although that 's good news for her , it 's not great news for you . we will not be needed your services anymore . rosalie : what about you , mrs. clay ? do you , uh , feel comfortable cutting me out of your life ? patrick : sam , you okay ? sam : uh ... yeah . no . y - yes . i mean , yes , i 'm fine . i 'm just , um -- i guess i 'm just jet - lagged , you know ? a strange -- strange hotel , strange bed . patrick : i know what 's wrong . sam : you do ? patrick : yes . you can admit it . sam : what ? patrick : it 's weird , waking up in bed with me in the same bed as you . sam : no , no , no . i was n't -- i was n't thinking that at all . patrick : i should have went and got another hotel . sam : no , of course not . do n't be silly . no . this is fine . patrick : right . it 's fine , right ? 'cause , i mean , we made it . sam : wait . what -- what did we make ? patrick : well , we made it through the night without anything happening , right ? sam : yeah . right . patrick : hey . it 's probably getting late . sam : yeah . patrick : we should get a move on . sam : yeah , that 's a good idea . patrick : we should , uh , check with tracy and see if she heard from luke . i want to get some answers today . sam : me , too . i agree . patrick : do you want to go in the shower first ? sam : no , no . go ahead . patrick : you sure ? sam : i have to check on danny . yeah . go ahead . patrick : okay . sam : give him a big kiss from his mom , and i 'll be home soon , okay ? okay . i love you . bye .

patrick : and when ? tracy : look , i know you think you have excellent reasons for wanting to confront luke , but you have to let me have some time alone with my husband , just for a while . sam : i do n't think that 's the best idea . tracy : why -- 'cause you do n't trust me ? patrick : well , there 's that , but , more importantly , we do n't trust luke . tracy : whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty ? patrick : this is n't a court of law , tracy . we 're actually trying to find the truth . tracy : well , you 're gon na have a much better shot at that if you let me have some alone time with him . i can figure out if there 's any truth at all to these ridiculous accusations you and dante are making . patrick : i appreciate you going into this with an open mind . tracy : well , forgive me if i can not visualize my husband being a crime boss who traffics in drugs , and , for that matter , i ca n't fathom him causing that accident . patrick : well , i 'm sorry , but i can . so , if you 're gon na meet with luke alone , we want the details . tracy : okay . not until you promise that i can have some alone time with him . do you promise me ? spencer : what 's wrong ? this is all we 've ever wanted . it 's taken us months to convince father to take you back , and now all of our hard work has paid off . britt : i guess it has . spencer : it was totally worth it . even being grounded for most of the summer was totally worth it . and my running away helped prove to my father that he needs you in his life . britt : yeah , it definitely proves something . spencer : and the timing of my aunt lulu 's kidnapping could n't have been better . it was like the ice cream on the pie of opportunity . britt : even so , i did n't earn this second chance with your dad fair and square . spencer : all is fair in love and war . he 's taking you back ! britt : but if he ever found out that you ran away to try and make us get closer and i was in on it , that 'd be the end of us -- for good . spencer : then father must never know . nikolas : your move back in to wyndemere is all set . what ? what did i interrupt ? shawn : okay . so , let 's hear it . why did you tell me about the hit on michael ? jordan : why are you looking a gift horse in the mouth ? you saved michael 's life . that should put you back in good graces with sonny , and that is the most important thing to you , right ? shawn : and saving ava 's life is what 's most important to you , right ? jordan : yeah . you know what ? what can i say ? we 're both really good employees . shawn : you know , just so we 're clear ... as long as ava 's still out there , i wo n't stop looking for her . jordan : i would n't expect anything less . shawn : and i wo n't be with you , no matter how much i want you , no matter how much you want me . and i know you do . sabrina : i was so sure that ava had done it . and at the time , it had just been one thing after another . first i lose patrick on my wedding day , and then the one thing -- one thing -- that would have made it all bearable , my son , my gabriel ... [ crying ] ... he died . carlos : your son was innocent . he did n't deserve to die . you are a good person . you 're a nurse . you do n't hurt babies . even if ava is guilty , her baby -- querida , her baby is innocent . what did you do ? did you hurt ava 's baby ? sabrina : i do n't know . i kept waiting to hear if ava had been admitted to the hospital in premature labor , and then i found out that she had n't even taken the pills yet . carlos : when was this ? sabrina : i do n't know . sometime last week , maybe . i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't remember . carlos : does ava still have the pills ? sabrina : no , i do n't think so . and you know what ? she would be further along than i was with gabriel . carlos : even so , if she had the baby now , would it still be dangerous ? sabrina : yeah . carlos : then you have to do something , sabrina . you have to make sure ava does not take those pills . rosalie : morgan ? hey . morgan : hey . rosalie : i brought you some coffee . morgan : uh , okay . i 'm just in the middle of something . rosalie : i was hoping that we could talk . morgan : yeah , sure . rosalie : maybe just start over ? morgan : i do n't think so . i got to -- rosalie : it 's just i 'd really like a chance to explain myself . morgan : sure . that 's fine . it 's -- this is a bad time right now . ava : aah ! damn it , morgan . where are you ? rosalie : just give me a couple of minutes , and then if you want me to leave , i will . morgan : how 'bout we just meet later ? let 's just meet later . rosalie : if i wait too long , i might lose my nerve , and i really need to tell you what 's been going on with my boss . nina : no matter what you think of rosalie , she helped me heal . i was hoping we could remain friends . she took it very hard . silas : really ? how could she not have seen this day coming ? nina : well , i 'll miss her . we had gotten very close . silas : yes . obviously , you were very close . she was willing to lie for you . nina : that 's over now . silas : right . tell me ... just how long have ... you two been keeping this little secret ? how long have you been able to walk ? britt : he was trying to get -- spencer : father , you 'll be pleased to know that britt was lecturing me about the nutritional value of fruit . nikolas : hmm . is that right ? britt : he was trying to get me to order hash browns so he could trade , and i was explaining to him why that was n't a good idea . nikolas : yeah . spencer : see , dad ? mmm ! nikolas : mmm . spencer : fiber ! nikolas : well , i 'm happy that you 're moving back in with us , and not just because you can work miracles with spencer . britt : i ca n't tell you how much this means to me . i would have done anything to make this happen . nikolas : turns out all you needed to do was be yourself . tracy : so , do we have a deal ? patrick : okay . you get some alone time with luke , but we 're gon na be close . sam : and if luke tries to run or we hear something we do n't like , we 're gon na make our move . patrick : give us the details . tracy : okay . it 's all right there . sam : all right . we 're gon na be there . you 're not gon na know it . tracy : well , let 's hope that luke does n't know it , either . you 're gon na have to be sneakier than him . you think you can do that ? sam : yeah , i think we know what we 're doing . tracy : you better , and luke better not have been lying this whole time . patrick : i know she needs to believe luke , but i have a feeling he 's gon na break her heart . sam : yeah . i have a feeling you 're right . ohh . well , if anything tracy said is true , i do need to get myself dressed . patrick : okay . i 'll go take a look at this and find a location close by for surveillance . sam : hey , you 've become a pretty good pi . patrick : well , i learned from the best . guard : time 's up . carlos : remember what i said , querida . do n't let ava 's baby get hurt . [ cell phone rings ] jordan : hello ? sabrina : ms. ashford . jordan : yes . who is this ? sabrina : this is sabrina santiago , the nurse from the other night . i got your number from the hospital . jordan : okay . would you just relax , okay ? i gave ava the medication . there 's nothing to worry about . morgan : i do n't have time for this right now . rosalie : yeah . i have to tell you what 's been going on with your brother michael and with kiki . you see , it 's all because of my boss . morgan : mm - hmm . rosalie : mrs. clay is nothing like she pretends to be . ava : morgan ! rosalie : oh , my god . ava : help me ! morgan : hey . hey , hey , hey , hey . ava : help me ! morgan : what 's going on ? what 's going on ? ava : [ groans ] silas : seems like a pretty simple question . how long have you been able to walk ? nina : um ... a few weeks . a month , tops . silas : that recently ? nina : yeah . why ? silas : i 'm just really happy for you . nina : you are ? silas : mm - hmm . you know who else will be really happy for you ? nina : who ? silas : your brother . you should go surprise him . nina : now ? silas : why wait ? nina : want to come with me ? silas : i 'd love to , but , um , i have a lot of work i need to get to here . but next time , all right ? give you and your brother a chance to catch up . nina : okay . [ cell phone rings ] sam : silas ? hey . did you get danny 's bloodwork back ? silas : the lab said they 'd have his results for me in the morning . sam : okay . then , um , why are you calling ? silas : sorry to bother you . i think you may have been right about nina . [ next_on ] silas : ( to sam ) maybe there 's some way i can make this up to you . alexis : ( to julian ) i do n't have to choose you , any more . ava : ( to rosalie ) well , it 's a pleasure . now forget you ever saw me . franco : ( to nina ) you do n't need me as well as you think you do . carly : ( to bobbie ) i told sonny that it can never happen again . sonny : ( to shawn ) franco needs to be taken out . | nikolas admits that he has missed britt and asks her to get back together and move back into wyndemere . after patrick and sam wake up from sleeping in the same bed with nothing happening between them , they make love . the alarm jolts sam out of the dream . tracy stops by and jumps to conclusions when she sees patrick come out of the shower wearing a towel . tracy asks sam and patrick to give her some alone time with luke before they confront him . silas fires rosalie because he knows that nina can walk . nina tells rosalie that she still has a job destroying kiki . rosalie refuses . nina fires her too . rosalie tells nina to remember that she knows all of her secrets . silas calls sam . | <s>[INST] spencer : can i get the jasper jacks flapjacks with extra syrup but no powdered sugar ? write that down . `` no powdered sugar , `` underlined three times under the `` no . `` excellent . and exchange the side of fruit for hash browns . nikolas : bring him the fruit , please . spencer : but , father -- nikolas : fruit . spencer : the fruit ca n't touch the pancakes , but whatever . nikolas : i 'm sorry . my son is picky -- you know , demanding . not a problem , mr. cassadine . we aim to please . spencer : what are you apologizing for ? i was polite . nikolas : no , you were n't . you did n't say , `` please `` or `` thank you `` -- not even once . that 's not polite . spencer : okay . well , i 'm nervous . i just want everything to go perfect for what 's gon na happen here today ! carlos : sabrina ! querida , oh ! thank you so much for coming to see me again ! [ chuckles ] oh , i 'm so happy to see you . how you doing ? sabrina : i 'm not so great . carlos : what is it ? sabrina : i need to talk to you about ava . ava : [ sighs ] oh , morgan . morgan : [ chuckles ] ava : that is so nice . you know , you do n't have to wait on me like this . you 're spoiling me . morgan : well , you know , my dad wants to kill you , and the baby might be mine , so i think you could do with a little spoiling . ava : wow . thank you . morgan : mm - hmm . is n't this a friend of yours ? [ knock on door ] silas : [ sighs ] rosalie : good morning , dr. clay . silas : rosalie . i 'm so glad you 're here . rosalie : you are ? silas : mm - hmm . rosalie : why ? is something wrong with mrs. clay ? silas : no . no . there 's nothing wrong with nina . rosalie : well , why are you glad i 'm here ? silas : so i can tell you in person that you 're fired .

[ beeping stops ] sam : [ sighs ] patrick : you okay ? sam ? did you have a bad dream ? carlos : sabrina , i am so sorry your little boy is dead . i never wanted you involved in my dirty business . sabrina : i do n't blame you . carlos : well , you should . ava killed your son because of me , and i will never be able to make that right by you . sabrina : that is n't why i 'm asking about ava . i just -- i need to know something . carlos : what is it ? sabrina : are you 100 % certain that ava caused that accident ? carlos : sabrina , look around . would i be here if i was n't 100 % certain ? sabrina : i suppose not . carlos : ava used your accident to force me to confess to a murder she committed . she admitted she did it . sabrina : but according to patrick , someone else admitted it , too . morgan : your friend really did a number on that guy . ava : he came out of nowhere . she did n't even see him . morgan : hmm . the article does n't make it sound so innocent . ava : it 's the front - page story on my brother 's paper . does he strike you as a bastion of integrity ? i should go up before somebody drops by . morgan : well , if you 're worried about michael , you can relax , 'cause my dad sent him away for a while , and kiki went with him , so ... ava : just when i need her . why ? morgan : someone tried to murder michael . ava : do they -- does your father know who it was that tried to hurt michael ? morgan : apparently , it 's one of his enemies . ava : well , if you 're implying that it was my brother , i ca n't deny that it 's a possibility , but i honestly do n't know . morgan : yeah ? you sure that , uh , julian did n't mention anything about going after my family ? ava : morgan , i swear to you . you know that i would never be involved in anything that would hurt you or my daughter . morgan : what about michael ? ava : michael is important to kiki and , therefore , important to me . morgan : well , he 's important to julian , too , for other reasons , but ... ava : you know , the only time that i 've spoken to julian in the past few days was to tell him that i 'm okay and that i 'm in hiding because your father wants to kill me after i give birth . and if we 're not careful , i think sonny 's gon na get his wish . i should go upstairs . morgan : hey , hey , hey . listen -- i 'm not gon na let anyone hurt you or the baby , okay ? ava : [ gasps ] ohh . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa . ava : ohh ! morgan : what ? jordan : amazing . shawn : why , thank you . jordan : i ca n't even have an omelet in peace . [ chuckles ] i specifically came to the metro court because i did n't want to run in to you at kelly 's , and i thought i could just -- i do n't know -- enjoy breakfast in peace without having you haranguing me about ava 's whereabouts . i told you before , and i 'll tell you one more time , i do n't know where ava is -- end of story . shawn : are you done ? jordan : with this conversation ? yeah . god , i hope so . shawn : because i actually came over here to say thank you . jordan : oh . really ? why ? shawn : for giving me the heads up that michael was in trouble . you know , because of your tip - off , i was able to get to him before jerome 's hired gun was able to do michael in -- and his little friend that was there with him that night . silas : this will be for this week , plus a little severance pay . rosalie : dr. clay , why are you firing me ? i mean , i know you do n't like me , for whatever reason . silas : i wonder what that would be . rosalie : look , mrs. clay needs me . silas : mrs. clay does n't need you . she does n't even need that wheelchair . rosalie : that 's ridiculous . mrs. clay is n't ambulatory . she requires care only a professional nurse can provide her . she can barely move ! oh , my god . mrs. clay . look at you . it 's a miracle . nina : you can drop it . he knows . spencer : appalling ! there was a speck of powdered sugar on these . nikolas : no , there is n't . spencer : yes , there is , and it 's unacceptable ! powdered sugar has no place on pancakes or crêpes or any other variety ! nikolas : look who 's here . spencer : ooh ! britt , you came ! britt : how could i resist ? your driver hand - delivered an invitation to breakfast from the both of you , then waited until i finished getting dressed . nikolas : you look beautiful . spencer : you do ! britt : thanks . you two look ... extra special this morning . so , what 's the occasion ? what 's all the fuss ? britt : thank you . spencer : comfy ? nikolas : [ clears throat ] britt : [ chuckles ] um , actually , i 'm -- i 'm a little nervous . what 's going on ? spencer : i 'm glad you asked , britt . father , you 're up . nikolas : thank you , son . thank you . sorry . okay . um ... now that lulu is home safe and sound , spencer and i had some time to think about the past few very crazy months , and first he ran away -- scared me out of my mind -- and then lulu 's kidnapped , and she and her husband almost die . britt : it 's been a rough few months ... nikolas : yes . britt : ... for the both of you . nikolas : yes , it has been , but , as difficult as it 's been ... there 's been one light that 's shined through all of this , and ... honestly , that 's been you . britt : what ? me ? nikolas : yeah . spencer : do n't speak . nikolas : [ chuckles ] two of the most important people in my life went missing , and if it had n't been for you , i would n't have been able to put one foot in front of the other . and spencer -- he obviously misses you , right ? spencer : yep . the right words have yet to be invented . nikolas : and -- and now that there 's no crisis going on for you to get me through ... i realize i missed you , too . so , spencer and i asked you here today to see if you would like to move back in with us . britt : [ chuckles ] sabrina : patrick told me that luke spencer made the accident happen . carlos : luke spencer ? sabrina : yes . carlos : why ? sabrina : this little boy has a big crush on emma , and he -- apparently , he overheard luke plotting something , and when the boy confronted him and threatened to expose him , luke arranged for the accident to prove to the boy that he could hurt emma . carlos : that does n't -- it does n't even seem possible . sabrina : yeah , but what if it is ? that accident could have been directed at spencer cassadine and not at me and gabriel . carlos : or luke is lying to the kid . he used the accident to get the boy to do what he wanted . sabrina : i guess he could have . but is n't it possible that ava was doing the same thing to you ? morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . ava , ava , what 's happening ? you 're not -- you 're not -- you 're not having the baby right now ? ava : no ! god , no ! i hope not . morgan : okay . ava : it 's too soon . morgan : then what is it ? what is it ? ava : you know , it 's probably just like the other night when i ended up at the hospital . it 's just cr - cramps ! morgan : oh , wow . wow . those are so cramps . ava : oh , tell me about it ! morgan : they gave you pills for the pain . where are the pills at ? ava : i do n't have them . jordan has them . jordan : hey , i 'm just glad that you got to michael on time , you know ? shawn : i do n't get it . you know sonny 's hell - bent on getting to ava , but you wo n't give up any info . jordan : you 're damn right i wo n't . shawn : yeah . you go out of your way to warn me that someone 's out to kill sonny 's kid . jordan : so , what 's your point ? shawn : well , the hit must have come straight from someone in the jeromes ' organization . now , you 're fiercely loyal to the family you work for when it 's about ava , but when someone puts a hit on michael , you betray them without hesitation . jordan : how 'bout that ? [ chuckles ] shawn : you know julian would kill you in a heartbeat if he found out you leaked the hit . why would you risk your own life to spare sonny corinthos ' son ? jordan : because of you . rosalie : you mean dr. clay knows everything about what you 've been -- nina : silas knows that i 've been back on my feet for a while , thanks to rosalie and all her help to get me there . silas : and now her work here is done . rosalie : well , i 'm so glad that the secret is finally out ! is n't it awesome , dr. clay ? you must be buggin ' . silas : oh , i 'm -- i 'm buggin ' , and it is awesome , rosalie . however , nina 's recuperation -- although that 's good news for her , it 's not great news for you . we will not be needed your services anymore . rosalie : what about you , mrs. clay ? do you , uh , feel comfortable cutting me out of your life ? patrick : sam , you okay ? sam : uh ... yeah . no . y - yes . i mean , yes , i 'm fine . i 'm just , um -- i guess i 'm just jet - lagged , you know ? a strange -- strange hotel , strange bed . patrick : i know what 's wrong . sam : you do ? patrick : yes . you can admit it . sam : what ? patrick : it 's weird , waking up in bed with me in the same bed as you . sam : no , no , no . i was n't -- i was n't thinking that at all . patrick : i should have went and got another hotel . sam : no , of course not . do n't be silly . no . this is fine . patrick : right . it 's fine , right ? 'cause , i mean , we made it . sam : wait . what -- what did we make ? patrick : well , we made it through the night without anything happening , right ? sam : yeah . right . patrick : hey . it 's probably getting late . sam : yeah . patrick : we should get a move on . sam : yeah , that 's a good idea . patrick : we should , uh , check with tracy and see if she heard from luke . i want to get some answers today . sam : me , too . i agree . patrick : do you want to go in the shower first ? sam : no , no . go ahead . patrick : you sure ? sam : i have to check on danny . yeah . go ahead . patrick : okay . sam : give him a big kiss from his mom , and i 'll be home soon , okay ? okay . i love you . bye . [ knock on door ] tracy : sam ? ! sam , open up ! what on earth ? ! you 're not even dressed ! sam : [ sighs ] tracy : what have you and patrick been doing in here ? oh , never mind . i get the picture all too clearly . carlos : no , no , no . ava threatened me . sabrina : uh - huh . carlos : she said that she would hurt you and the baby . i heard about the accident . i confronted her . she said that it was all her doing . sabrina : after the fact ? carlos : oh , no , no . oh , no , no , no ! i ca n't believe thi -- i know everything that that woman is capable of -- everything ! i never thought that she might not be telling the truth ! sabrina : so , then it really is possible that ava was lying ? carlos : yeah ... sabrina : oh , my god . carlos : ... it 's possible . maybe she took advantage of a situation that she did n't actually cause just to control me . sabrina : carlos ... this changes everything . carlos : the last time i was here , you were thinking about taking matters into your own hands , but it 's a good thing i talked you out of that , right ? because i 've been scared that you 'd go after ava . sabrina : carlos , i did go after ava ! i was so sure that she was responsible for gabriel 's death , and i wanted her to hurt the way she hurt me ! carlos : oh , dios mío . what did you do ? ava : [ groans ] morgan : why does jordan have your meds ? ava : i had to get the hell out of my -- my place when your father 's men tried to kidnap me , remember ? j - jordan ended up with the pills . here . she -- she just texted me . [ groans ] shawn : you helped save michael 's life because of me ? jordan : yeah . i 'm sure sonny was less than pleased when i stopped you from kidnapping ava . shawn : i took a lot of heat for what i let you do . jordan : exactly . that 's why i thought i owed you one . shawn : is that right ? and where is all this remorse coming from all of a sudden ? jordan : michael 's innocent . he 's not part of the business . he 's not part of the corinthos / jerome war . i mean , he does n't deserve to die . shawn : and a woman who brings heroin and coke on the streets so kids like rafe can buy them is claiming to have feelings for michael because he 's innocent ? yeah , no . something 's just not sitting right . jordan : well , i do n't know how else i could explain it to you , shawn . shawn : because i know you , jordan . and something else is going on . what is it ? britt : you 're serious ? you want me to move back in with you ? nikolas : that 's right . britt : as your roommate or ... ? spencer : that would be castlemate , and no . tell her , dad . nikolas : i think she 's figuring it out . britt : wait . y -- [ chuckles ] you do n't want us to ... spencer : he wants you to get back together with him . sorry , dad , but she was taking so long . nikolas : i -- [ chuckles ] britt : even after what i did to your sister ? nikolas : look , lulu will never forget what you did , and she may never forgive you , but i know what it cost you to lose ben . britt : you mean rocco . spencer : what a townie name . nikolas : and i know how hard you 've worked to prove yourself , and you have . britt : thank god . [ both chuckle ] nikolas : well ? britt : nikolas ... spencer : just say yes ! britt : i ca n't -- not if elizabeth is gon na come between us . nikolas : elizabeth and i are through . britt : you 're sure ? nikolas : yes . i swear . we 're -- we 're finished . you and i , on the other hand , have an awful lot of lost time to make up for . britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : so , what do you say ? move back in with us , get a fresh start , start over , see how it goes ? what do you say ? britt : [ gasps ] [ laughing ] yes . i - i 've been dreaming of this . yes . spencer : whoo ! sa - weet ! yes ! whoo - hoo ! whoo - hoo ! yeah ! whoo - hoo ! rosalie : mrs. clay , you 're not gon na let dr. clay give me the ax , are you , after all we 've shared ? nina : it is very difficult to let her go , sí . silas : you do n't need her . nina : she 's really resourceful . i mean , rosalie can clean better than anyone my mother ever employed . rosalie : excuse me ? ! nina : it 's a very noble profession . silas : rosalie is a registered nurse . i really do n't think she wants to be our housekeeper . rosalie : yeah . he got that part right . silas : and there you go . well , i 'll give you guys a few moments to say goodbye . rosalie : [ sighs ] what the hell happened ? nina : he caught me running after franco last night . rosalie : what ? running ? nina : yeah . after he got a look at all of that , there was no going back . rosalie : oh , you idiot . nina : excuse me ? what are you complaining about ? you 've been double - dipping for months with a salary that i 've been giving you and what you 've been getting from silas . rosalie : well , the only reason he is paying me is because he thinks you 're tapped out . nina : and he 's not gon na hear otherwise from you . rosalie : whatever . it 's not like it matters anyway . he fired me ! and you did n't even do anything to stand up -- oh , pardon the expression -- for me . nina : i did what a could . rosalie : oh , yeah ? offering my services to scrub your floors -- thanks a lot ! nina : okay . keep your voice down . stop complaining . you have a job -- destroying kiki by bedding michael . rosalie : no . i told you i 'm not gon na do that . nina : uh , excuse me ? i beg your pardon . nina : wow . my goodness . it sounded like you were defying me . rosalie : i am trying to tell you that your big plan is not going to work . i tried to get closer to michael . i even went over to his apartment yesterday . nina : and ? rosalie : and , uh , a hit man showed up and almost killed both of us . nina : [ gasps ] oh , my . wow . by -- by `` hit man , `` do you mean a mafia man , a ninja , or a muscle - bound robot man from the future ? rosalie : could i make that up ? it happened . nina : well , even if it did happen , rosalie , a clever woman would have used that as a bonding experience . rosalie : you know what ? i never wanted to do this to michael . he 's a really decent guy . believe me -- he deserves light - years better than that selfish twit kiki . nina : okay , good to know . so , you 're with the angels . you are saving michael from kiki . rosalie : he wants to be with her , okay ? he would feel guilty if he slept with me . besides , i like his brother . nina : the question you 're not asking yourself is , `` what does this have to do with nina , the woman who 's paying me ? `` rosalie : i 'm sorry . yeah , i forgot -- everything is about you , is n't it ? nina : yes , it is about me . duh . obviously . i 'm employing you . you are not helping me with my list . kiki 's mom -- i have to work on her . she 's disappeared . that baby is gon na pop any time , and we have a lot of work cut out for us . rosalie : fine . what do you want me to do about ava ? nina : do n't worry about ava . just work on destroying kiki and michael 's relationship . rosalie : no . nina : and then we will find ava . yes ! rosalie : i told you no , okay ? nina : then silas is n't gon na be the only one firing you . i will , too . rosalie : fine ! but just remember i know all of your secrets !

sam : because you would n't share your room with me . tracy : because i did n't want luke to show up and find me with a private investigator ! and i did n't want to share my room with you . grow up . sam : you grow up ! you laughed in my face and slammed the door . tracy : well , that 's because sometimes you are serendipitously hilarious . sam : [ sighs ] anyway , yes -- patrick and i had to share a room because of you . tracy : a simple `` thank you `` would suffice . sam : oh , will you stop ?

patrick : well , there 's that , but , more importantly , we do n't trust luke . tracy : whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty ? patrick : this is n't a court of law , tracy . we 're actually trying to find the truth . tracy : well , you 're gon na have a much better shot at that if you let me have some alone time with him . i can figure out if there 's any truth at all to these ridiculous accusations you and dante are making . patrick : i appreciate you going into this with an open mind . tracy : well , forgive me if i can not visualize my husband being a crime boss who traffics in drugs , and , for that matter , i ca n't fathom him causing that accident . patrick : well , i 'm sorry , but i can . so , if you 're gon na meet with luke alone , we want the details . tracy : okay . not until you promise that i can have some alone time with him . do you promise me ? spencer : what 's wrong ? this is all we 've ever wanted . it 's taken us months to convince father to take you back , and now all of our hard work has paid off . britt : i guess it has . spencer : it was totally worth it . even being grounded for most of the summer was totally worth it . and my running away helped prove to my father that he needs you in his life . britt : yeah , it definitely proves something . spencer : and the timing of my aunt lulu 's kidnapping could n't have been better . it was like the ice cream on the pie of opportunity . britt : even so , i did n't earn this second chance with your dad fair and square . spencer : all is fair in love and war . he 's taking you back ! britt : but if he ever found out that you ran away to try and make us get closer and i was in on it , that 'd be the end of us -- for good . spencer : then father must never know . nikolas : your move back in to wyndemere is all set . what ? what did i interrupt ? shawn : okay . so , let 's hear it . why did you tell me about the hit on michael ? jordan : why are you looking a gift horse in the mouth ? you saved michael 's life . that should put you back in good graces with sonny , and that is the most important thing to you , right ? shawn : and saving ava 's life is what 's most important to you , right ? jordan : yeah . you know what ? what can i say ? we 're both really good employees . shawn : you know , just so we 're clear ... as long as ava 's still out there , i wo n't stop looking for her . jordan : i would n't expect anything less . shawn : and i wo n't be with you , no matter how much i want you , no matter how much you want me . and i know you do . sabrina : i was so sure that ava had done it . and at the time , it had just been one thing after another . first i lose patrick on my wedding day , and then the one thing -- one thing -- that would have made it all bearable , my son , my gabriel ...

( sighs ) yeah , but that 's different when it 's prescribed to you . i 'm talking about ones that are n't prescribed . those pills almost cost me everything that was good in my life . it even put steffy at risk , and i was ... i was so irresponsible taking a pill any time things got too hard . brooke : that is true , but you were overwhelmed . hope : yeah , i - i was , but i -- what was i thinking ? i mean -- i mean , trying to fix things just by popping a pill whenever i felt like it ? i mean , that -- mom , it could have cost me everything . it could have -- it could have cost me my life . yeah , i - i thought that they were taking the edge off , but they were just turning me into someone that i 'm not , someone that i do n't ever want to be ever again .

[ scene_break ] ric : sonny 's had a history of these episodes -- his bipolar , whatever -- for years now , and the only people that he 's let into his inner circle up to now have been jason and carly . neither of them are the picture of mental health . lainey : but carly 's doing very well . ric : yeah , carly 's functional at best , but she 's highly neurotic -- it 's just a layperson 's opinion , but i know i 'm right . [ lainey snickers ] ric : okay , jason has a serious resentment of psychiatrists in general , and that stems from his own brain injury . lainey : well , it 's my understanding that his injury was physiological , not mental . ric : regardless , jason hates shrinks . and he also is an enabler who suffers from a serious case of hero worship where sonny 's concerned . see , jason thinks that if he can convince sonny that they can do all of this without seeking proper , you know , psychiatric help , then he does n't have to deal with or acknowledge sonny 's weakness . he can keep sonny on a pedestal , he can -- he can have sonny dependent upon him so that he continues to spiral down . lainey : so what are you saying ? ric : i 'm saying that jason morgan is the obstacle to my brother getting well . [ scene_break ] carly : listen to me , milo . i know how ric 's mind works , okay ? he knows how to push sonny 's buttons , and i 'm betting he went out and he bought that dress for emily and convinced sonny that he did it . he tried to set him up . i know , okay ? listen to me , i know that max already went to every store trying to find out who sold the dress . but max is a guy . what does he know about tracking down women 's clothing ? i , on the other hand , know every mall , boutique , and store within a 20-mile radius , and i 'm going to find the store that sold ric that dress . but to do that , i need to have the dress , okay ? then i 'm going to prove what a snake ric is , and we are going to protect sonny the way he needs to be protected . i need you to show me where the dress is , okay ? just point it out . milo : up there . carly : what the hell is it doing up there ? milo : uh -- after the boss tore it to shreds , he had us bag it and store it up there . carly : all right . okay , can you get me that pillow ? and i need your help . do not let me fall , all right ? and just watch it a little . okay . ha . look at that -- there it is ! emily : what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] ric : look , i love my brother , but he 's not the best judge of character . and he feels comfortable with jason and carly because they save him from dealing with the reality of his condition . but their interest is self - serving . but emily , on the other hand -- now , emily , she 's bright , she 's intuitive . she knows what sonny needs to get better . lainey : and so do you ? ric : i understand -- look , i understand my brother 's condition enough to know that he 's not going to get well without professional help . i do not have an agenda , dr. winters , beyond wanting my brother to overcome this . lainey : and considering your rocky start , that 's very generous . ric : well , `` rocky start `` is an understatement . our mother was given an -- an unlivable decision to make -- you know , sonny or me . she chose sonny and sent me to be with my father . i grew up not knowing the woman who gave birth to me . i mean , it was her choice , it was my father 's choice , i -- it 's out of my hands .

[ scene_break ] dillon : i -- i overheard lulu talking to my mom , of all people , and she just flat out admitted , you know , she lied about the whole thing -- georgie : so she could have you for herself . dillon : yeah . just like you said . she said you and diego were n't sleeping together , you were talking . you -- you were just talking . i do n't know -- i do n't know how i 'm supposed to really make this up to you -- um -- and i do n't know how to ask you for forgiveness because it 's unforgivable . i should 've -- i should 've known deep down that you would n't -- that you would n't cheat on me . but i just -- i could n't fathom that lulu would lie to me . georgie : because she 's never lied to you before . but i have . every time i wrote diego in prison , that was as good as a lie , and i want you to know that was wrong . i was really , really wrong . it was wrong to let him kiss me at prom , no matter how angry i was with you , and i gave you plenty of reason to doubt me . and at the first opportunity , that 's exactly what you did . dillon : all right , yes , i -- okay , but , georgie , i -- i should 've known better . you know ? i mean , i -- i love you so much , and -- and i 've always loved you . and this whole thing right now -- it 's my fault because i doubted you . georgie : but the fact that you did doubt me , it only proves that we were right to break up . [ scene_break ] emily : milo , you should 've warned me that carly was here . carly : do n't blame milo . he 's a good guy . you need to take care of something out there , right ? thanks for your help . there 's no need to question why i 'm here -- you know , i 'm sonny 's ex - wife ; we share two children . we tend to come and go . emily : you told me that you wanted sonny out of your life . yesterday you looked me in the eye and you swore to me that you wanted sonny to be with me , right ? carly : yeah , i did , and i meant what i said . but i 'm not going to walk away from the father of my children and let ric do more damage . emily : what does ric have to do with anything ? carly : sonny would never buy you something like this and forget about it , okay ? ric set him up . emily : why would ric bother -- carly : he set him up , okay ? jason and i are convinced of it . emily , ric saw how fragile sonny was and he played on his worst vulnerability , which was lily and their dead child . he wanted to push sonny 's illness even farther , and i 'm going to prove that he did it . emily : no , do n't you dare . you 're going to be making this worse if you do , carly . carly : did you hear what i said ? ric set him up ! emily : sonny 's bipolar , carly ! anything can set him off ! for god 's sakes , he had a meltdown over pasta sauce ! and what he does n't need is you feeding into his paranoia . carly : he does n't need ric driving him crazy , emily ! sonny : wait -- what 's going on ? carly : i 'm just trying to save your sanity .

zoe : actually , she already gave me some notes that i 've incorporated . ridge : oh . zoe : yeah , you know , this just made sense to me . you know , with what the hope for the future line stands for , i just think it 's a really good fit . and plus , young women are the target demographic , so i think the messaging will really speak to them . ridge : i just figured something out . you have ambition beyond being a model here , do n't you ?

just to get some dirt on nicole ? did you ? jennifer : yeah , i just had an interesting talk with eric , uh , about the lie that you and nicole told him about the two of you being a couple . daniel : okay , that . all right , well , did he tell you the reason for the lie ? jennifer : well , nicole thought that eric would n't let her help him if he knew how she felt about him . daniel : yeah , so we made him think that she moved on , which seemed like a pretty good idea at the time , yeah . jennifer : right . daniel : okay , jenn , let me tell you , i ran into a brick wall , trying to get medical evidence to prove his story . the guy was getting hammered , and kristen effectively just destroyed everything that mattered to him . nicole and i , we needed to use the resources that she had at the studio to kind of track down chyka . and well , like i said , it seemed like a good idea at the time . jennifer : right , but this good idea -- it was n't yours , was it ? daniel : no , it was n't . but does that matter ? marlena : eric , let me explain this . eric : i hope you can . marlena : i was trying to trick stefano . hope gave me a device to trace the call and try to locate chyka . i just had to keep him talking . eric : that does n't answer my question . what does nicole have to do with all of this ?

gabi : it means , sonny , that nick got me that modeling contract in new york . and yes , he went about it the wrong way . you know , he was manipulative . he had his own agenda . but the point is that -- that he knew what i needed , long before i did . will : i ca n't think of anything you and i would possibly have to talk about . nick : things are moving forward . and i want you to accept that . will : or else , right ? sonny told me what you said about how you have a bullet for each of us . nick : well , i think , as a writer , you can appreciate that i was speaking metaphorically . will : so was hitler . nick : wow , okay . um , let 's get something straight , okay ? sonny invited me to meet him . and when i got there , he -- you know , he dropped the kiriakis name , and he threatened that if i did n't see things his way , that he 'd make sure that i did , and he 'd use his family 's influence to make sure that i did . so who 's threatening who here , will ? daniel : jennifer , i know it was a lie . but it was an innocent one , right ? right , and nobody got hurt . and the truth of the matter is , nicole got really close -- both of us , we got really close to clearing his name . we 're getting him back into the priesthood . jennifer : right , but it was nicole 's idea , right ? daniel : okay , jenn , she was in love with him and trying to help him keep on being a priest . it was a pretty selfless act . jennifer : no , i agree . i know that she was doing what was best for eric . and , i mean , we were apart at that time , so it 's really none of my business . daniel : okay , no -- well , no , it is your business if it bothers you . jennifer : no , it does n't bother me . it 's just -- fooling eric , i understand how that would be nicole 's idea . it 's just so out of character for you . daniel : really ? well , i let ej think that rafe was the father of his baby . jennifer : oh , come on , daniel , please . i have lied so many times , horribly , to you , to so many people . daniel : okay , wait , hold on . you know what i think ? jennifer : i think you think i should just change the subject and -- daniel : uh , no , no , no . i think this goes back to the thing with theresa -- me not telling you the whole story . i mean , do you think that i was lying then ? jennifer : no , you never told me anything that happened ... daniel : well , i certainly ... jennifer : between you and theresa . daniel : let you think that something happened between me -- jennifer : yes , for jj . and you did that all for me . but this situation with nicole , it just -- it seems different somehow . daniel : jennifer , it really was just an act . jennifer : right , but it feels like this ongoing deception . that 's all . daniel : okay , i guess it was . jennifer : like you 're leading people to believe something that is n't true . and it 's just not like you to give a performance like that . you know , and nicole asks you to do it , and you do it anyway . eric : mom , what did you think you were gon na find out ? aside from her finding me in that hotel room and taking me to the hospital , not to mention risking her life on more than one occasion . what terrible , horrible thing is it that you think she did ? marlena : nicole was in love with chyka when he escaped . why would she let him go when she went to all the trouble of finding him ? eric : let him go ? mom , he was an armed , dangerous lunatic who tried to blow her to smithereens . maybe she did n't have a choice in the matter . john : i think what your mother meant here -- eric : i do n't need you to tell me what my mother meant . why did n't you ask chyka about kristen ? i mean , she is the one who destroyed my vocation , not nicole . marlena : i made a deal with stefano not to ask about kristen . all i wanted was the truth . eric : the truth is what ? tell us , mom . what did you find out ? marlena : it turned out that chyka confirmed nicole 's story . eric : you must have been crushed . marlena : no ! all i wanted was the truth . chyka said that he had overpowered nicole and he 'd escaped . and all she was trying to do was get information about what he 'd done to you . eric : but that 's what nicole said happened . i mean , god forbid anyone ever listen to what nicole says . you know what ? that 's it . let 's go , we 're done . nicole : wait , wait . eric , eric , eric , wait . please , do n't leave it this way with your mother . eric : i said that we were done . marlena : [ exhales ] john : just give him a little time -- marlena : no , no . do n't . daniel : can we stop talking about nicole and just talk about us , hmm ?

abigail , you are a wreck . i 'm sorry , but you are . and i just do n't want you to be alone when -- if -- if the results are positive . it 's just really big news , you know ? and -- and the enormity of it -- well , i just -- i just think it 's important for you to have someone with you when you find out that your life 's changed forever . abigail : right , uh ... sami : have you thought about talking to your mother about this ? abigail : no . no , absolutely not . will : so you feel sorry for yourself ? nick : [ chuckles ] no . i - i do n't feel sorry for myself . self - pity does n't get you anywhere , all right ? it does n't serve a purpose . what 's important is that i change the way people feel about me and the way they think of me . will : all right , well , it 's gon na take an awful lot to change the way that sonny or i or my mom or my dad feel about you , because we have brains and we have memories . nick : it will take time . will : it will take lobotomies . nick : [ laughs ] that 's really funny . um , i think you 're gon na be a great writer . you have a real way with words . i 'm serious . i 'm really serious . will : yeah , i hate your compliments more than i hate your slurs . nick : okay , uh , well , thanks for talking to me . and , will , um , you better see to it that your boyfriend does n't try to make good on his threats , because it wo n't end well . and i 'd appreciate it if you did n't try to turn people against me . will : and by people , you mean gabi . nick : she has a mind of her own . i know she wo n't listen to you . daniel : oh , hey , eric , eric . hey , i was gon na -- eric : [ yells ] what ? daniel : what ? what the hell ? did something happen ? eric : yes . yes , it has . john : eric will get over it . you know , in time , he will realize that you were just trying to help him . marlena : you know what , john ? john : what ? marlena : i do n't really care to hear your interpretation of the situation . all the anger and pain and suffering we are going through is all caused directly by kristen . and eric and brady and i are all suffering because of your arrogance and your stupidity and bringing that evil bitch back into our lives . yeah . roman : marlena . you okay ? marlena : roman . you 're not gon na believe what i 've done to our son . nicole : [ sighs ] this could be a letter , which could be from chyka , which could be about meeting kristen for the first time . oh , my god . who are you trying to kid ? really ? i mean , even if you did put this whole thing back together and proved what she did to eric , it 's not like you 're gon na use it , because you 'd lose him . [ sighs ] but ironically enough , after today , marlena 's strange attempt to get something on you , it 's -- it 's clear that everyone thinks there are n't any records to be looking for . they think they know the whole story , and marlena verified it . so i 'm totally in the clear . now more than ever . [ rapid knocking at door ] [ deep breath ] [ rapid knocking at door ] roman : john , could you give us a minute ? marlena : roman , you 're going to be upset when i tell you what i did to eric . roman : hey , do n't worry about it . just tell me everything . daniel : nicole , are you in there ? nicole : daniel ? daniel : yeah . nicole : uh , just a second . i -- okay , i 'm coming , i 'm coming . hi , hi . daniel : look , i just ran into eric , and he told me what happened . i just wanted to make sure that you -- you 're okay . nicole : yeah , i 'm fine . daniel : really ? 'cause that 's not what i 'm seeing here . you do n't look fine here . what -- what -- nicole : all right , i -- okay , no , i 'm not . it was -- it was pretty brutal . daniel : yeah ? yeah , well , i could see eric was still pretty upset . but you know what ? think about it this way . sounds like marlena is figuring out what eric and i already knew -- that you did everything right and nothing wrong . nicole : yeah , great . but look what it 's done to eric . okay , all he does is defend me . daniel : well , he should . come on , what -- nicole : look , he -- marlena and eric , they are very close , and they are gon na be in real pain . daniel : all right . well , maybe she finally learned the lesson . you are the most important thing in eric 's life , so she ca n't go after you , right ? nicole : it does n't -- still , this whole town is gon na think that she 's right and i 'm horrible . daniel : okay , stop with what people think . does it matter what everybody thinks if eric knows exactly who you are and loves you for it ? liam : i 'm going to give you some time to talk openly . i 'll be back in a few minutes with more information . [ door closes ] liam : [ exhales ] how about them cubs , huh ? who the hell wants to talk openly about being stuck in neutral ? hey , guys , it 's nothing to be ashamed about . yeah , right . yeah , sometimes i think back to high school , algebra class . never was a problem back then . yeah , and you always got called to the blackboard ? [ chuckles ] ah , those were the days . my wife 's so great . she 's really patient , but she finally asked if it was her . it 's not her . i still think she 's so hot . my partner and i are trying to have a baby , but i 'm not able to do my part . ej : i wish i had that problem . abigail : look , um , i 'm really grateful , sami . you have been unbelievably nice to me , so thank you . but you do n't have to worry about me . sami : i just really wan na help you . johnny 's crazy about you . so is ej , and you have been so great with me . i mean , teaching me about art , so i do n't make fool of myself in front of ej in italy . and your mom and i , we have been friends for a long time . and in spite of how she can be , she 's going to accept this , she is . abigail : i 'm sorry , wait . what -- what do you mean , `` how she can be `` ? liam : i 've been at a conference and have n't had a chance to get back to dr. bell about his order , so if you could just tell him that the forms have been processed and that i 've expedited delivery ... sure . liam : yeah , thanks . i 'll catch ya later , right ? oh , hi , jennifer . jennifer : hi . liam : i got ta say , i love working here . and just to be sure , after that misunderstanding , we 're good , right ? jennifer : sure , yeah . forgotten , in the past . excuse me . liam : no , it 's not . will : hey . sonny : mwah . looks like you 've had about as much fun as i have today . will : oh , my day was worse . nick wanted to share with me . sonny : yeah , that is worse . will : you know , when he tries to mimic human behavior , that 's when he 's creepiest . get this . he confided in me that he wants people to like him . i told him not to hold his breath . sonny : well , he may have his work cut out for him with everyone else . but with gabi , he has her right where he wants her . [ phone ringing ] gabi : yes ! nick : hey , uh , good news ? gabi : oh , yeah . the art director from my photo shoot -- he loved my proofs . nick : oh , my god . that 's -- that 's amazing . i stopped by to see how it went , and i guess i got my answer . wow , you look -- you look amazing . you look so incredible . gabi : thank you . come in , come in . nick : okay . um , i know that you 're still nursing , so i brought some sparkling apple cider to celebrate , just 'cause i knew it was gon na go well . gabi : i do n't know how to say thank you .

[ both laugh ] gabi : okay , to you . nick : to me ? gabi : yes . nick : what do you mean ? i did n't do anything . gabi : oh , no ? of course you did . you -- you 've been right this whole time . i feel so much better about myself now that i 'm bringing in a paycheck , and , i mean , it 's even more than that . today , those people i was working with , they treated me like -- nick : what , like you should be treated ? gabi : i owe all of that to you . nick : come on , please . you would 've done all of that yourself . gabi : but i needed it now , and you knew that . you know me better than anyone . nick : um -- [ glasses clink ] nick : this is good . liam : no , you do n't have to get outdoor bathtubs to make it work , like in that commercial . i think that 's meant to be symbolic . of what , i have no idea . uh , one last question . and now , do we have to call a doctor if it lasts more than four hours ? liam : or you risk serious medical consequences . oh , but what a way to go . right , right ? hey , hey . liam : so i need to be going . feel free to stay on and look over the literature . take your time , okay ? all right . abigail : you 're marrying a dimera , and you 're throwing stones at my mother ? sami : no , i - i just meant -- well , she 's a little -- abigail : a little what ? nice ? kind ? considerate of other people besides herself ? sami : yes , yes , yes . of course , she is all of those things . abigail , let 's just say she 's led a very moral life . abigail : she has standards , for herself . she does n't judge other people . sami : look , i -- i 'm trying to help . and i realize that i am not doing that . and i 'm sorry . so , um , i know we both have to get back to work . um -- abigail : yeah . sami : please promise me , if you need anything , you will call me . abigail : right . thanks . sami : oh , um -- i - i meant to -- abigail ?

[ clatter ] sami : what was that ? is there someone back there ? who 's back there ? maxine : oh , i 'm sorry , ladies . you have to leave this room now . daniel : what are these ? jennifer : you ca n't see what they are . you just have to open up and say `` ahh . `` ready ? daniel : okay , ahh . ahh . jennifer : open and say `` ahh . `` daniel : ahh , oh , my gosh . i love ... both : chocolate - covered macadamia nuts . jennifer : i know . i know you do . daniel : you know , if you were trying to buy my affection with these little hawaiian treats , you know what ? it worked , oh , yeah . jennifer : good , i 'm glad . i also came by to give you news about our guest list for our gathering . it looks like hope and aiden are a go . they 're coming . daniel : all right . you know , um , i was gon na ask you something -- how would you feel about asking eric and nicole ? jennifer : uh , yeah . yeah , why not ? just , uh , do n't forget to ask them what they like on their pizza . daniel : okay . i was n't expecting a `` yeah , why not ? `` i was expecting we 'd at least talk about it . jennifer : okay , yeah , we can talk about it . uh , i guess i should tell you i know something about your relationship with nicole , and i have to admit i 'm kinda surprised . eric : just answer the question , mom . did you go to stefano and talk to chyka ? just to get some dirt on nicole ? did you ? jennifer : yeah , i just had an interesting talk with eric , uh , about the lie that you and nicole told him about the two of you being a couple . daniel : okay , that . all right , well , did he tell you the reason for the lie ? jennifer : well , nicole thought that eric would n't let her help him if he knew how she felt about him . daniel : yeah , so we made him think that she moved on , which seemed like a pretty good idea at the time , yeah . jennifer : right . daniel : okay , jenn , let me tell you , i ran into a brick wall , trying to get medical evidence to prove his story . the guy was getting hammered , and kristen effectively just destroyed everything that mattered to him . nicole and i , we needed to use the resources that she had at the studio to kind of track down chyka . and well , like i said , it seemed like a good idea at the time . jennifer : right , but this good idea -- it was n't yours , was it ? daniel : no , it was n't . but does that matter ? marlena : eric , let me explain this . eric : i hope you can . marlena : i was trying to trick stefano . hope gave me a device to trace the call and try to locate chyka . i just had to keep him talking . eric : that does n't answer my question . what does nicole have to do with all of this ? marlena : i do n't know . eric : okay , i 'm gon na say this one more time . in doing all this , was it chyka or nicole you were trying to catch ? marlena : eric , let -- [ sighs ] eric : i think you just answered my question . sami : abigail and i were trying to have a private conversation . maxine : well , i 'm sorry , but there 's a meeting here in five minutes , and i need to set up for it . abigail : that -- that 's fine . sami , we should -- we should probably just go . sami : no , no , abigail . there is someone back there , and they heard everything that we said . we need to know who it is . come on . it 's okay . i could swear i heard i something . maxine : oh , they leave this window open 'cause it gets hot in here . breeze must have knocked this over . sami : do you think that 's what we heard ?

gabi : it means , sonny , that nick got me that modeling contract in new york . and yes , he went about it the wrong way . you know , he was manipulative . he had his own agenda . but the point is that -- that he knew what i needed , long before i did . will : i ca n't think of anything you and i would possibly have to talk about . nick : things are moving forward . and i want you to accept that . will : or else , right ? sonny told me what you said about how you have a bullet for each of us . nick : well , i think , as a writer , you can appreciate that i was speaking metaphorically . will : so was hitler . nick : wow , okay . um , let 's get something straight , okay ? sonny invited me to meet him . and when i got there , he -- you know , he dropped the kiriakis name , and he threatened that if i did n't see things his way , that he 'd make sure that i did , and he 'd use his family 's influence to make sure that i did . so who 's threatening who here , will ? daniel : jennifer , i know it was a lie . but it was an innocent one , right ? right , and nobody got hurt . and the truth of the matter is , nicole got really close -- both of us , we got really close to clearing his name . we 're getting him back into the priesthood . jennifer : right , but it was nicole 's idea , right ? daniel : okay , jenn , she was in love with him and trying to help him keep on being a priest . it was a pretty selfless act . jennifer : no , i agree . i know that she was doing what was best for eric . and , i mean , we were apart at that time , so it 's really none of my business . daniel : okay , no -- well , no , it is your business if it bothers you . jennifer : no , it does n't bother me . it 's just -- fooling eric , i understand how that would be nicole 's idea . it 's just so out of character for you . daniel : really ? well , i let ej think that rafe was the father of his baby . jennifer : oh , come on , daniel , please . i have lied so many times , horribly , to you , to so many people . daniel : okay , wait , hold on . you know what i think ? jennifer : i think you think i should just change the subject and -- daniel : uh , no , no , no . i think this goes back to the thing with theresa -- me not telling you the whole story . i mean , do you think that i was lying then ? jennifer : no , you never told me anything that happened ... daniel : well , i certainly ... jennifer : between you and theresa . daniel : let you think that something happened between me -- jennifer : yes , for jj . and you did that all for me . but this situation with nicole , it just -- it seems different somehow . daniel : jennifer , it really was just an act . jennifer : right , but it feels like this ongoing deception . that 's all . daniel : okay , i guess it was . jennifer : like you 're leading people to believe something that is n't true . and it 's just not like you to give a performance like that . you know , and nicole asks you to do it , and you do it anyway . eric : mom , what did you think you were gon na find out ? aside from her finding me in that hotel room and taking me to the hospital , not to mention risking her life on more than one occasion . what terrible , horrible thing is it that you think she did ? marlena : nicole was in love with chyka when he escaped . why would she let him go when she went to all the trouble of finding him ? eric : let him go ? mom , he was an armed , dangerous lunatic who tried to blow her to smithereens . maybe she did n't have a choice in the matter . john : i think what your mother meant here -- eric : i do n't need you to tell me what my mother meant . why did n't you ask chyka about kristen ? i mean , she is the one who destroyed my vocation , not nicole . marlena : i made a deal with stefano not to ask about kristen . all i wanted was the truth . eric : the truth is what ? tell us , mom . what did you find out ? marlena : it turned out that chyka confirmed nicole 's story . eric : you must have been crushed . marlena : no ! all i wanted was the truth . chyka said that he had overpowered nicole and he 'd escaped . and all she was trying to do was get information about what he 'd done to you . eric : but that 's what nicole said happened . i mean , god forbid anyone ever listen to what nicole says . you know what ? that 's it . let 's go , we 're done . nicole : wait , wait . eric , eric , eric , wait . please , do n't leave it this way with your mother . eric : i said that we were done . marlena : [ exhales ] john : just give him a little time -- marlena : no , no . do n't . daniel : can we stop talking about nicole and just talk about us , hmm ? jennifer : yes . daniel : yes ? jennifer : mm - hmm . daniel : okay . jennifer : but this , um -- daniel : hmm ? jennifer : this is n't talking . daniel : no , this is nonverbal communication , is what this is . jennifer : [ gasps ] oh . i see , okay . well , you need to cease and desist . desist , or i am taking my candy with me . daniel : wow . you drive a hard bargain , woman . jennifer : [ giggles ] well , i need to go anyway because we are making a new employee handbook , and i am on the committee . daniel : whoa , can -- what ? jennifer : oh , yes , i know , i know , you wan na give up your humdrum brain surgery for my fireworks of a job . daniel : yeah , please . please , can i just see the minutes to the committee meetings , please ? jennifer : oh , no , no . you do n't have clearance . it 's for my eyes only . daniel : wow . wow , you 're working your way up at that place . jennifer : i am . daniel : hey , uh , jenn ? jennifer : what ? daniel : um , listen . are you really okay with eric and nicole and all ? jennifer : yes , i am okay . i want things to work out for them , i do . daniel : oh , me too . okay . nicole : look , um , i need to go to work . do you mind if i just have a little alone time ? i need to take a shower and just ... eric : yeah . nicole : decompress . eric : okay . but before i go , i 'm gon na make a promise to you . i will never , ever let my mother or anyone else hurt you again . nicole : thank you . eric : are you sure you 're okay ? nicole : yes . 'cause i have you . mm . [ chuckles ] go . [ sighs ] [ panting ] oh , yes . these are the files . these are the files on eric and the drug cocktails . these are -- this is it . `` kristen dimera has contacted me , asking my help in a most unorthodox procedure , involving a priest . `` mm . well , look at that . partners in crime .

gabi : i know you 're trying to help , okay ? but i do n't want anybody to tell me how i should feel about nick . so i just think that we should agree to disagree . i 've had a really , really awesome day , and i do n't wan na let anyone or anything bring me down , all right ? thank you for watching ari . sonny : [ sighs ] nick has changed . yes , for the worse . nick : i 'm just saying that -- that i want gabi to be a part of my life again . of course , it 's totally up to her to decide whether that happens , okay ? i just -- i wan na start over . will : you ca n't be serious . nick : will , i could 've put your mother and your grandmother in prison . i did n't . will : because then you could n't blackmail them . nick : oh , my gosh , jeez . you know , ask kate if i 'm earning my paycheck at mad world . go ahead , ask her . and furthermore , i 'm sure that gabi did an amazing job modeling for your mother today . will : what is it you want ? nick : what do i -- what do i want ? what i want -- i want what you have , will . i want -- i want people to like me . maxine : [ sighs ] liam : thanks for setting up . i do n't think the meeting should last more than an hour . maxine : okay . abigail : oh , i actually am not drinking caffeine , you know , just in case . sami : it 's ginger tea . it helped me through my morning sickness . abigail : if that 's what i 'm having and if i am actually pregnant . sami : abigail , honey , all those ifs . you 're not there yet . you just -- first things first , you need to know one way or the other . abigail : yeah , i know that . sami : finding out if you 're pregnant , that is a huge -- that is a huge thing . and you should n't have to go through it alone . if this guy that you were seeing has this other life or whatever , he 's not willing to be there with you , i am . okay ? i wan na help you . i do n't think you should have to go through this alone . so why do n't we go and buy a pregnancy test , and i will be there for you when you find out ? liam : it 's good to see you all . my name is liam . i wan na say right up front , i am not a doctor , and i am a rep for a pharmaceutical company . but this meeting is n't about a specific treatment . i 'm not pushing a product . i also want you to know that everything said here is 100 % confidential . the most important thing is to realize that you are n't alone and that there is help . so ... let 's talk about e.d . erectile dysfunction . sami : what 'd he say ? abigail : uh , sami , you 're being really nice , but , um , i do have to get back to work . and , you know , i think it 's best for me to just -- just get through this day and then go home and take the test , you know , by myself . sami : do you think that maybe you 're delaying taking the test because you 're afraid of what the results might be ? abigail , you are a wreck . i 'm sorry , but you are . and i just do n't want you to be alone when -- if -- if the results are positive . it 's just really big news , you know ? and -- and the enormity of it -- well , i just -- i just think it 's important for you to have someone with you when you find out that your life 's changed forever . abigail : right , uh ... sami : have you thought about talking to your mother about this ? abigail : no . no , absolutely not . will : so you feel sorry for yourself ? nick : [ chuckles ] no . i - i do n't feel sorry for myself . self - pity does n't get you anywhere , all right ? it does n't serve a purpose . what 's important is that i change the way people feel about me and the way they think of me . will : all right , well , it 's gon na take an awful lot to change the way that sonny or i or my mom or my dad feel about you , because we have brains and we have memories . nick : it will take time . will : it will take lobotomies . nick : [ laughs ] that 's really funny . um , i think you 're gon na be a great writer . you have a real way with words . i 'm serious . i 'm really serious . will : yeah , i hate your compliments more than i hate your slurs . nick : okay , uh , well , thanks for talking to me . and , will , um , you better see to it that your boyfriend does n't try to make good on his threats , because it wo n't end well . and i 'd appreciate it if you did n't try to turn people against me . will : and by people , you mean gabi . nick : she has a mind of her own . i know she wo n't listen to you . daniel : oh , hey , eric , eric . hey , i was gon na -- eric : [ yells ] what ? daniel : what ? what the hell ? did something happen ? eric : yes . yes , it has . john : eric will get over it . you know , in time , he will realize that you were just trying to help him . marlena : you know what , john ? john : what ? marlena : i do n't really care to hear your interpretation of the situation . all the anger and pain and suffering we are going through is all caused directly by kristen . and eric and brady and i are all suffering because of your arrogance and your stupidity and bringing that evil bitch back into our lives . yeah . roman : marlena . you okay ? marlena : roman . you 're not gon na believe what i 've done to our son . nicole : [ sighs ] this could be a letter , which could be from chyka , which could be about meeting kristen for the first time . oh , my god . who are you trying to kid ? really ? i mean , even if you did put this whole thing back together and proved what she did to eric , it 's not like you 're gon na use it , because you 'd lose him . [ sighs ] but ironically enough , after today , marlena 's strange attempt to get something on you , it 's -- it 's clear that everyone thinks there are n't any records to be looking for . they think they know the whole story , and marlena verified it . so i 'm totally in the clear . now more than ever .

reva : look at you . solid . reliable . old . we 're moving in a new direction . we 're looking for something newer , sleeker , not so many miles on it . ( mirror breaks ) josh : reva ? what are you doing ? was there some kind of an accident here ? reva : no . i , um ... uh ... josh : whatever it is , reva , you can tell me . you know that . reva : i was clipped . a car came out of nowhere , did this and just drove off . josh : okay . i 'm glad you 're all right . cassie : well , you know what , you do n't have to be here . edmund and i can handle it because you ... you know , i just ca n't keep asking you to spend your time trying to help me . jeffrey : cassie , you know , maybe one day you 'll come to me not just because you need my help but , i do n't know , just because you want to . cassie : jeffrey . jeffrey : but until then , i 'm going to help , okay , because i said i would . and i also said that if i found out anything , some information about alonzo , i would tell you . and i have . edmund : of course , alonzo , of course . will is your son . no , no , no . dinah : wow , interesting conversation . edmund : was it ? dinah : yeah . it was kind of funny . i mean , one minute you were sounding like you were saying to alonzo that you were going to fight to the end to make sure that cassie 's son stays here , and then it sounded like you were on his side . it almost sounds like alonzo really is n't onboard with the first part . edmund : stay out of it , dinah . dinah : you know , i 'm a part of this odd little family now , edmund , so i 'd like to know what 's what . edmund : leave it alone , dinah , and cassie will not lose her son . dinah : i know what you 're doing . you 're making this problem real bad so you can save the day . quite a hero . bill : hey , that 's my job . olivia : hey . bill : my goodness , i 'm an animal . i 'm sorry . what ... olivia : no , you did n't do this . it 's nothing . bill : well , now i 'm curious . olivia : really , it 's nothing . i 'd rather talk about what did happen last night . bill : yeah , me too . olivia : so , was that a new beginning for us or ... bill : well , i think it 's a start . olivia : look , i know i made a lot of mistakes , but i really want to make up for them . and i know i 've made things difficult for myself , but i really believe that with your help , i can find my way out . gus : how 's your leg , you sick freak ? did i scare you ? ( knocks on door ) open the door , i want to talk to you . i know that you killed phillip . and you know that you ca n't keep me in here forever . ( breathes hard ) feel my breath on your neck ? when i get out of here , i 'm going to spend the rest of my life hunting you down . josh : have you been drinking ? reva : the car was here in the garage . i was n't in it when this happened . josh : i 'm not suggesting that this was your fault . it 's just that i do n't think a broken mirror is what 's got you so upset , is it ? there 's something else . stephanie : we 've decided to take your show in a new direction . we 're going to have to let you go . reva : something happened at work . josh : let me guess : alan spaulding pulled the plug on one of your show topics . reva : well , you know , i mean , i fought the good fight , but that 's enough . i 've had it , you know . i quit . josh : terrific . reva : it is ? josh : that 's great , yeah . think about it . you 're free now . we can do whatever we want . we can sleep late , we can go out to breakfast , then go to an afternoon movie , maybe get in on a senior discount . reva : what ? josh : it 's a joke , sorry . if anything , it 'll be just the opposite . we 'll be like little kids , like we 're playing hooky , reva . we can do whatever we feel like doing . reva : what if i want to just keep doing what i 've been doing . josh : i thought you said you were sick of the struggle . reva : well , i am , but that does n't mean that i 'm ready to go riding off into the sunset , you know ? in fact , i left there so quickly that , you know , i did n't have the chance to tie up loose ends , you know ? i need to make sure that things are left in the right hands , you know ? you can understand that , ca n't you ? josh : yeah . i 'll tell you what , i 'll take care of this . you go on and wrap up what you need to at work and then call me , okay ? reva : fine . josh : honey ? you okay ? reva : yeah . yeah . i am . it 's just ... i 'm wired , you know ? that 's the bourbon . ( laughs ) josh : uh - huh . reva : but do n't you worry . nothing this kid ca n't handle . senior discount . i do n't think so . sebastian : aw . has anyone ever told you what a delightful couple you make ? ( laughs ) i 'm glad i 've bumped into you kids . bill : well , i get the feeling it was n't by accident . olivia : what do you want ? sebastian : gus . have any of you seen him ? olivia : no . i ca n't say that i have . bill : no , me neither . why ? what 's going on ? sebastian : well , junior seems to have gone missing . bill : what do you mean , he 's missing ? sebastian : no one 's heard or seen from him in days . olivia : well , why would i know ? i 'm not his social director . i 'm not even his friend . look , i can take an educated guess . maybe you should go up to the state prison . he 's probably camped out front waiting for his next visit with harley . sebastian : all right . thanks for the input . olivia : i do n't trust him . bill : well , i do n't either . what about me , huh ? do you trust me ? olivia : it 's not you , it 's me . i 'm just trying to get out of this hole that i 'm in . bill : okay , listen to me ... olivia : you have no idea ... bill : listen to me . you do n't have to sell me , okay ? i know you 're tough and ambitious and a little paranoid . but deep down , you 're what we lewises call `` good people . `` olivia : do you really think i 'm good ? bill : well , i would n't be with you if you weren't . why ? do n't you think you 're good ? olivia : i just remembered that i have to go back to spaulding to take care of something , okay ? bill : all right . well , fine . i 'll go with you . olivia : no , it 's okay . i ... i 'll do it quick and then i 'll come back and we 'll just pick up where we left off , okay ? okay . bill : okay . edmund : i do n't have to defend myself to you , dinah . dinah : okey - dokey , artichokey . edmund : do you think i concocted this entire crisis ? alonzo summoned will back to san cristobel . that was n't my idea . dinah : just a lucky break , huh ? edmund , come on . who are you trying to kid ? we both know that everything you 're doing , you 're doing to get cassie back . edmund : she 's my wife . dinah : yeah . and you 've been good . you 've been good . i have to give you some credit . i thought , actually for about five minutes , you were going to get on that plane and fly away and leave cassie and me to deliver the child by ourselves in this world . edmund : but i stayed . i stayed . she asked for my help . i said yes . that 's it , end of story , simple as that . dinah : yeah . yeah . absolutely . and you know what ? i think it 's ... i think it 's kind of noble , the way you 've laid this whole thing out . i mean , you hold her hand , telling her you 're going to move heaven and earth to keep her son here , and in the meantime , you 're making sure that alonzo is still putting on the pressure . i think it 's perfect , actually , the way it 's working out . it 's going to be a glorious opportunity for you to show her how much you care for her . edmund : i 'm trying to help her , dinah . i 'm trying to help her . dinah : help her ? no . you 're helping yourself . and i wonder if she 's going to appreciate how much you 're milking this problem , you know , to the fullest . using her son just to get her back . cassie : look , jeffrey , why do n't you just go , okay ? i can handle this . i ca n't make you any promises . jeffrey : well , just try being honest , cassie . that 's the only promise that i would ask you to make is that you be honest with yourself . cassie : i ca n't do this . jeffrey : hey , look . the important thing is that we keep will here , right ? cassie : yes . jeffrey : okay , so let me tell you what i know . i got in touch with my contacts in washington . i called in a few favors and they discovered that alonzo was trying to call in a few favors of his own , trying to get help just in case you refused his request to send will back . cassie : from the government ? jeffrey : the good news is that we have advance warning and three things that alonzo does n't have . cassie : okay , what ? jeffrey : motherhood , the flag and apple pie . cassie : thank you . you know , you really are such a good friend . i ca n't tell you how much that means to me . dinah : jeffrey , what a nice surprise . edmund : so , what brings you here , mr . o'neill ? cassie : jeffrey found out that alonzo has put pressure on the officials in washington to take will from me if i refuse to give him up . jeffrey : yeah , apparently he 's trying to make a federal case out of it , literally . dinah : that 's terrible . jeffrey : but the good news is that now that we know that alonzo is willing to bring in the big guns , we can assemble a team of our own heavy hitters to help cassie fight for her rights with will . edmund : yes , we can do all this . cassie : edmund , jeffrey can help . edmund : of course . that 's very generous of you , mr . o'neill , and of course the only thing that matters right now is helping will . jeffrey : i 'm so glad you agree . dinah : you know , jeffrey is not the only person who has contacts in high places . i mean , edmund here is the ambassador of san cristobel . edmund : dinah . dinah : what ? you are a heavy - hitter yourself . i just saw you in action . cassie : what do you mean , you just saw him in action . dinah : edmund , do n't be modest . come on . tell them . cassie : wait a minute . i did n't get to hear the end of that conversation . what were you guys saying , edmund . edmund : cassie , there 's really nothing to report . dinah : do n't be modest , edmund . you were wonderful . now , come on . tell them . if you wo n't , i will . reva : whew . bill : well , what is a gorgeous babe like you doing all alone ? reva : waiting for guys like you to try out their lamest lines on me . bill : i 'm serious . where 's josh ? does n't he know not to leave you unattended ? reva : you are doing wonders for my ego . bill : well , you know , i 'm just calling it like it is . reva : but no , i am flying solo tonight . by choice . bill : by choice ? reva : mm - hmm . bill : is something going on ? reva : you mean something bad ? bill : well ... reva : oh , no , no , no , no . i quit my job today . that 's good . that 's a very , very good thing . bill : reva , i had no idea . are you sure you ... reva : hey . you know what ? get that tone out of your voice and that look off your face . i am fine . i am finer than fine . so you just go on and take off . go on , little boy , you take off . i 'm sure you 've got better things to do than baby - sit your auntie reva . in fact , i would prefer to be alone tonight . bill : ( laughs ) oh , is that right ? behave yourself . and have fun . reva : i always do . oh . no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . i was drinking shots of bourbon before . bartender : i know . compliments of the gentleman at the bar . reva : what gentleman at the bar ? `` we can do whatever you want . `` ( laughs ) joshua lewis , you sly dog , you . sebastian : a man of many talents . hey , joshua . good to see you again . josh : something tells me this is more of a follow - up meeting than a chance encounter . sebastian : ( laughs ) caught me . i was wondering if you 've given any more thought to that little discussion that blake and i had with you . josh : yeah , see , here 's the thing . i do n't think that at this time i really want to commit anything to a fight with alan spaulding . sebastian : what if i told you the fight 's already begun ? josh : how is that ? sebastian : well , i just bumped into your nephew and his lovely bride . josh : and ? sebastian : bill heads up lewis construction and olivia , a spaulding president while she 's sharing his bedroom . do you really trust her in that sensitive position ? josh : ( laughs ) sebastian : ( laughs ) josh : let me give you a word of advice , okay ? manipulation is much more effective when it 's subtle . sebastian : why bother with subtlety . you 'd see through it anyway . josh : yes , i would . sebastian : well , you just give us a call if you are interested in protecting your interests . and do n't worry , from now on i 'll leave the motivation up to you , okay ? good - night . gus : ca n't go to sleep . ca n't go to sleep . i have to stay strong . stay focused . stay strong . do it for harley . do it for her . bill : okay , so you 're tough and ambitious and paranoid . but deep down , you are what we lewises call `` good people . `` olivia : gus ?

i think it 's ... i think it 's kind of noble , the way you 've laid this whole thing out . i mean , you hold her hand , telling her you 're going to move heaven and earth to keep her son here , and in the meantime , you 're making sure that alonzo is still putting on the pressure . i think it 's perfect , actually , the way it 's working out . it 's going to be a glorious opportunity for you to show her how much you care for her . edmund : i 'm trying to help her , dinah . i 'm trying to help her . dinah : help her ? no . you 're helping yourself . and i wonder if she 's going to appreciate how much you 're milking this problem , you know , to the fullest . using her son just to get her back . cassie : look , jeffrey , why do n't you just go , okay ? i can handle this . i ca n't make you any promises . jeffrey : well , just try being honest , cassie . that 's the only promise that i would ask you to make is that you be honest with yourself . cassie : i ca n't do this . jeffrey : hey , look . the important thing is that we keep will here , right ? cassie : yes . jeffrey : okay , so let me tell you what i know . i got in touch with my contacts in washington . i called in a few favors and they discovered that alonzo was trying to call in a few favors of his own , trying to get help just in case you refused his request to send will back . cassie : from the government ? jeffrey : the good news is that we have advance warning and three things that alonzo does n't have . cassie : okay , what ? jeffrey : motherhood , the flag and apple pie . cassie : thank you . you know , you really are such a good friend . i ca n't tell you how much that means to me . dinah : jeffrey , what a nice surprise . edmund : so , what brings you here , mr . o'neill ? cassie : jeffrey found out that alonzo has put pressure on the officials in washington to take will from me if i refuse to give him up . jeffrey : yeah , apparently he 's trying to make a federal case out of it , literally . dinah : that 's terrible . jeffrey : but the good news is that now that we know that alonzo is willing to bring in the big guns , we can assemble a team of our own heavy hitters to help cassie fight for her rights with will . edmund : yes , we can do all this . cassie : edmund , jeffrey can help . edmund : of course . that 's very generous of you , mr . o'neill , and of course the only thing that matters right now is helping will . jeffrey : i 'm so glad you agree . dinah : you know , jeffrey is not the only person who has contacts in high places . i mean , edmund here is the ambassador of san cristobel . edmund : dinah . dinah : what ? you are a heavy - hitter yourself . i just saw you in action . cassie : what do you mean , you just saw him in action . dinah : edmund , do n't be modest . come on . tell them . cassie : wait a minute . i did n't get to hear the end of that conversation . what were you guys saying , edmund . edmund : cassie , there 's really nothing to report . dinah : do n't be modest , edmund . you were wonderful . now , come on . tell them . if you wo n't , i will . reva : whew . bill : well , what is a gorgeous babe like you doing all alone ?

i mean , it definitely was not for love . cane : right . w - what has motivated every single one of billy 's decisions since he first got back to town ? lily : you think he 's doing this to get back at you ?

[ scene_break ] jax : josslyn was very sick , so i reached out to anyone and everyone i could think of . i knew that your father had been writing to carly for years and asking her for money . and she also told me about his shady dealings , so i thought maybe with his connections , he would be able to help . nelle : by , what , giving you my kidney ? jax : no , i never thought he would use his own daughter . i thought that maybe he could help find someone who was willing to donate a kidney in exchange for a cut of the money i was offering . nelle : you thought that he would just ask random strangers on the street if they were the -- the right blood type ? if they were okay with living with only one kidney ? jax : to be completely honest with you , i did n't ...

[ scene_break ] jax : i figured you might have a hard time taking my word for it , so i brought you a picture of the cashed check . nelle : no . it 's easy to fake that . a smart businessman like you , you would n't -- you would n't leave an obvious paper trail . jax : yeah , you 're right . but frank insisted that it was a personal check , probably 'cause he planned on blackmailing me down the road . nelle : mm - hmm . jax : and then joss got the , uh , kidney from jake webber , or at least that 's what we thought . so , i , uh , i ordered the nurse to find a worthy recipient for the kidney that frank arranged . nelle : my kidney . mm - hmm . jax : i never heard from him again . and i - i did n't know that you were the donor . nelle : you know what , this did n't happen , all right ? my father was never even paid . he never -- he never even saw that check . jax : but he was paid . you , uh ... you must recognize your father 's signature . that 's his , right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i never wanted any of this . you know , i made mistakes with nelle and ... sleeping with her and covering it up . but in my defense ... i was grieving . i -- i was grieving over morgan 's death , you know ? bobbie : i understand that . i understand that more than you realize . i know how grief overwhelms you , takes away your ability to reason . sonny : yeah . bobbie : but what i do n't understand is how you watched for months while nelle got closer to carly . why did n't you warn my daughter ? sonny : i so wish i had . bobbie : so do i . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , are you sure ? after what you went through with morgan , the psych ward just seems so morbid . have you thought about pediatrics ? kiki : right now , psych is exactly where i need to be . i ca n't just let this go , mom . i need to understand how morgan spiraled so completely that he stole julian 's car . ava : putting yourself in such a disturbing environment with people that may share some of the same symptoms , i do n't think that 's gon na give you any more insight into what happened with morgan . kiki : this is a place to start , and these people need help . i want to help them . this is n't just about morgan . it 's about doing something worthwhile . this is something that i 'm good at . ava : okay . okay , good . and you 're with dillon , and i just want to see that continue . i want to see you continue to move forward . kiki : i am . ava : and you know what , you 're right -- there are no easy answers . kiki : everything that i have learned about morgan , it 's even more puzzling . ava : what things ? kiki : i talked to one of the doctors -- dr. klein . she 's brilliant . i told her all about morgan 's situation . i listed all of his medications , and obviously , she could n't tell me anything definitive , but she was struck by the timing . ava : why ? kiki : because it all happened so fast . i mean , morgan basically went from being on top of his symptoms to his moods being completely out of control within a matter of weeks . and that 's what really concerns me . that 's what bothers me , is , how did his medication quit so completely , so quickly ? ava : you have to stop letting this haunt you . you really ought to put it out of your mind , kiki , because you are not gon na get an answer ! [ scene_break ] dante : what can you tell me ? chris : it 's rough your brother got blown up , but i do n't talk to cops . dante : you remembered something when i showed you those pills . i could tell . what 's the matter with you ? you 're just gon na throw away the chance of reducing your sentence ? henry : is this offer sanctioned by da garcia ? she 's the only one who can make that call . dante : look , i can attest to the da that gentry cooperated with the investigation , and she will take that into consideration . henry : that 's not a guarantee . chris : it does n't matter anyway . helping out cops in any way -- not gon na happen . i 'm no snitch . no . no , you 're not a snitch . dante : you know what you are ? you 're going to prison . and good luck with that . i 'll leave you to confer with your client .

[ scene_break ] jax : as you can see , your father did get the money . nelle : you know , after my operation , when i was still really sick ... he told me he was waiting for the money . that he 'd be there soon and that everything would be okay . i could go to the fancy prep school in town and really make something of myself . [ sighs ] and then ... jax : then what ? nelle : he went away for a couple of weeks -- disappeared like he sometimes would . i did n't want him to go 'cause i was still really weak and ... [ sighs ] he told me he had a great opportunity , and he had to take it . and when he got back , he told me carly had cheated him , that he was never paid . so , i could n't go to that prep school . he said he was sorry , but carly was heartless and ... selling a kidney 's illegal , so there was nothing he could do about it . that 's just the way it was . i wanted to call carly myself and yell at her for cheating my dad and for taking my kidney . so i found his address book . jax : what happened ? nelle : that 's when i saw it . and that 's when i knew ... [ sighs ] jax : nelle ? nelle : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] valentin : i understand you introduced yourself to nelle . lulu : yeah . we spoke when we ran into each other at kelly 's . why ? did nelle say something ? valentin : no . just that you 'd spoken . she knows about the custody situation . i told her . and she now knows that you 're trying to take charlotte away form me . lulu : well , i 'm sure you made yourself sound sympathetic . you 're really good at that . it certainly worked with the judge . eventually , the truth will become apparent to the court , because except for nina , yeah , this entire town hates you . anna certainly knows exactly what you 're all about . valentin : you 'd be surprised what anna knows .

[ scene_break ] michael : so , nelle 's story was true ? except jax was the one who offered her father money , not you ? carly : jax paid frank , and frank did n't share the money with his family . no surprise there . michael : nelle really did believe everything that she told us . frank manipulated her into hating you . carly : okay . it 's not that simple , though . it 's not . i mean , yes , frank did lie to nelle . and i can understand how that would affect her , to an extent . but at some point , nelle got so twisted in her revenge that all she wanted to do was hurt me . you know ? i mean , think about it , michael . i let her into our lives . i gave her a job . i let her see me . i let her see the real me , and right then , that should 've made her question every single awful thing that frank ever told her . how did she repay me ? by doing every single thing she could to ruin my life -- and not just my life , but your life and josslyn 's life . and , okay , like , let 's say i could get past that . what i ca n't get past is that she used morgan 's death to manipulate us . [ scene_break ] nelle : everything suddenly makes sense . jax : what do you remember ? nelle : it does n't matter . it 's private . but the point is that i believe you . i believe that you made the deal with my dad and not carly . jax : look , i know you must be furious with me , but i want to make it right . nelle : you know what , please just -- please do n't talk to me about this right now . just leave me alone . will you ? jax : of course . nelle : please ? jax : okay . if you want to talk more about it , just give me a call , okay ? nelle : i did what you wanted , daddy . i made carly suffer . i made her hurt . i made her hate me forever . and it was all a lie .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i got your text . what 's going on ? dante : there 's been a development with morgan 's case . it may be nothing , but we need to investigate it . sonny : what happened ? dante : there was an attempted robbery at the floating rib last night . we bagged and tagged everything the robbers took from the patrons , but something strange turned up -- one of morgan 's prescription bottles .

[ scene_break ] sonny : okay , let me make sure i understand -- a bottle of pills with morgan 's name on it was discovered after a - a robbery ? dante : yeah . the perps held the whole bar at gunpoint , demanded everyone turn over their wallets , jewelry , cash . sonny : and somebody was walking around the floating rib with morgan 's pills ? dante : that 's the idea , but these guys wo n't say who they got the pills from . sonny : oh , i 'll -- i 'll get the name . dante : okay , i ca n't allow you to do that , and that 's gon na be a waste of time anyway . i 've got the lab analyzing morgan 's bottle of pills for dna and prints . we 'll get it back any minute .

[ sighs ] disappointed . but i do n't want to be a hypocrite , because i remember how scared i was when josslyn was sick , and i would 've done anything -- anything -- to save her . but i did n't have to because jax did . and now my baby girl is alive , and so , a part of me feels ... grateful . [ scene_break ] jax : josslyn was very sick , so i reached out to anyone and everyone i could think of . i knew that your father had been writing to carly for years and asking her for money . and she also told me about his shady dealings , so i thought maybe with his connections , he would be able to help . nelle : by , what , giving you my kidney ? jax : no , i never thought he would use his own daughter . i thought that maybe he could help find someone who was willing to donate a kidney in exchange for a cut of the money i was offering . nelle : you thought that he would just ask random strangers on the street if they were the -- the right blood type ? if they were okay with living with only one kidney ? jax : to be completely honest with you , i did n't ... [ sniffles ] i did n't ask too many questions . nelle : mm - hmm . jax : i was desperate to save joss . it really did n't matter how that happened . i 'm sorry , nelle . i really am -- i really am sorry , but i - i hope now you realize that your anger should be directed at me and not carly . nelle : stop lying . jax : no , nelle , i 'm -- nelle : no , stop lying for carly .

[ sighs ] i do n't give her a free pass on what she did after . carly : neither do i . she used my grief over morgan , you know ? she was `` there `` for me , she `` comforted `` me , and the whole time she was setting me up , you know ? i mean , she played the perfect part of the perfect little assistant , then she , what , she sleeps with sonny ? she bided her time to sit back and wait for the perfect moment to blow up my life . and not just my life , but josslyn 's life , michael 's life , and avery 's life . so , hell no . i 'm never gon na forgive her for that . [ scene_break ] nelle : you would do anything to cover carly , including letting her dodge all the consequences of what she 's done to me ! jax : nelle . nelle , listen -- listen to me . try to think back to when we first met , okay , and my attitude toward you . i wanted you gone . carly was the one who urged you to stay . that 's because i 'm the one that reached out to frank all those years ago . nelle , i did n't know you were his daughter , but i thought maybe you knew my part in finding a kidney for josslyn . and then , i realized that -- that you did n't know anything , and that 's when i - i calmed down , and you must have seen my attitude towards you change . while carly was nothing but welcoming from the start . that 's because she knew nothing about the deal i made with frank . nelle : no . you 're spinning this . you 're covering for carly , all right ? my father told me what happened ! jax : oh , nelle , i 'm so sorry , but your father lied to you . and i can prove it .

[ scene_break ] chris : i 've never seen it before . dante : you 're lying . henry : that is for the courts to decide . chris : why are you asking about this instead of all the jewelry and cell phones paul and me supposedly stole ? those are n't my drugs . you ca n't pin that on me . dante : the pills belonged to my brother , morgan corinthos . he died last october . chris : oh , yeah . he got blown up , right ? dante : there 's no reason that those pills should 've been at the floating rib . i need to understand how they got amongst all the stuff that you stole from those people . henry : allegedly stole . dante : you are going down for this , okay ? you know that . this is your chance to make a difference for a lot of people . give a grieving family some peace of mind . okay , it might even make a difference with the judge -- show what kind of man you are . come on ! i need a name ! i need a name , a description , something ! tell me -- tell me who you got those pills from !

'cause i do n't . i have n't known what to think of you all the years that you have been involved with carly . in some ways , you 're a really good man . you love your kids , and i know you love carly , but you have n't been able to make a life with her . every time she tries -- every time -- she gives in and lets herself fall back in love with you , she 's the one who winds up getting hurt . [ scene_break ] carly : it 's so good to see you . michael : did you get my voicemail ? carly : yes , and thank you . thank you for being there for josslyn , you know ? i mean , losing jax 's mom on top of morgan is -- it 's really gon na be tough for her . michael : well , she 's my little sister . you do n't have to thank me for loving her . carly : you believe she snuck out of her window and had you pick her up down the street ? michael : yeah . she , uh -- she kept insisting , um , that she did n't want to interrupt you and jax . she seemed to think you had something important to discuss . carly : yeah . yeah , we did . but she could n't possibly know what that was . michael : um , i ran into dad at kelly 's . carly : okay . michael : have you decided ? are you gon na divorce dad ? carly : look , i ca n't even think about divorce right now , all right ? 'cause josslyn was right . jax and i were discussing something very important ... about nelle . [ scene_break ] jax : i figured you might have a hard time taking my word for it , so i brought you a picture of the cashed check . nelle : no . it 's easy to fake that . a smart businessman like you , you would n't -- you would n't leave an obvious paper trail . jax : yeah , you 're right . but frank insisted that it was a personal check , probably 'cause he planned on blackmailing me down the road . nelle : mm - hmm . jax : and then joss got the , uh , kidney from jake webber , or at least that 's what we thought . so , i , uh , i ordered the nurse to find a worthy recipient for the kidney that frank arranged . nelle : my kidney . mm - hmm . jax : i never heard from him again . and i - i did n't know that you were the donor . nelle : you know what , this did n't happen , all right ? my father was never even paid . he never -- he never even saw that check . jax : but he was paid . you , uh ... you must recognize your father 's signature . that 's his , right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i never wanted any of this . you know , i made mistakes with nelle and ... sleeping with her and covering it up . but in my defense ... i was grieving . i -- i was grieving over morgan 's death , you know ? bobbie : i understand that . i understand that more than you realize . i know how grief overwhelms you , takes away your ability to reason . sonny : yeah . bobbie : but what i do n't understand is how you watched for months while nelle got closer to carly . why did n't you warn my daughter ? sonny : i so wish i had . bobbie : so do i . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , are you sure ? after what you went through with morgan , the psych ward just seems so morbid . have you thought about pediatrics ? kiki : right now , psych is exactly where i need to be . i ca n't just let this go , mom . i need to understand how morgan spiraled so completely that he stole julian 's car . ava : putting yourself in such a disturbing environment with people that may share some of the same symptoms , i do n't think that 's gon na give you any more insight into what happened with morgan . kiki : this is a place to start , and these people need help . i want to help them . this is n't just about morgan . it 's about doing something worthwhile . this is something that i 'm good at . ava : okay . okay , good . and you 're with dillon , and i just want to see that continue . i want to see you continue to move forward . kiki : i am . ava : and you know what , you 're right -- there are no easy answers . kiki : everything that i have learned about morgan , it 's even more puzzling . ava : what things ? kiki : i talked to one of the doctors -- dr. klein . she 's brilliant . i told her all about morgan 's situation . i listed all of his medications , and obviously , she could n't tell me anything definitive , but she was struck by the timing . ava : why ? kiki : because it all happened so fast . i mean , morgan basically went from being on top of his symptoms to his moods being completely out of control within a matter of weeks . and that 's what really concerns me . that 's what bothers me , is , how did his medication quit so completely , so quickly ? ava : you have to stop letting this haunt you . you really ought to put it out of your mind , kiki , because you are not gon na get an answer ! [ scene_break ] dante : what can you tell me ? chris : it 's rough your brother got blown up , but i do n't talk to cops . dante : you remembered something when i showed you those pills . i could tell . what 's the matter with you ? you 're just gon na throw away the chance of reducing your sentence ? henry : is this offer sanctioned by da garcia ? she 's the only one who can make that call . dante : look , i can attest to the da that gentry cooperated with the investigation , and she will take that into consideration . henry : that 's not a guarantee . chris : it does n't matter anyway . helping out cops in any way -- not gon na happen . i 'm no snitch . no . no , you 're not a snitch . dante : you know what you are ? you 're going to prison . and good luck with that . i 'll leave you to confer with your client .

[ scene_break ] jax : as you can see , your father did get the money . nelle : you know , after my operation , when i was still really sick ... he told me he was waiting for the money . that he 'd be there soon and that everything would be okay . i could go to the fancy prep school in town and really make something of myself . [ sighs ] and then ... jax : then what ? nelle : he went away for a couple of weeks -- disappeared like he sometimes would . i did n't want him to go 'cause i was still really weak and ... [ sighs ] he told me he had a great opportunity , and he had to take it . and when he got back , he told me carly had cheated him , that he was never paid . so , i could n't go to that prep school . he said he was sorry , but carly was heartless and ... selling a kidney 's illegal , so there was nothing he could do about it . that 's just the way it was . i wanted to call carly myself and yell at her for cheating my dad and for taking my kidney . so i found his address book . jax : what happened ? nelle : that 's when i saw it . and that 's when i knew ... [ sighs ] jax : nelle ? nelle : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] valentin : i understand you introduced yourself to nelle . lulu : yeah . we spoke when we ran into each other at kelly 's . why ? did nelle say something ? valentin : no . just that you 'd spoken . she knows about the custody situation . i told her . and she now knows that you 're trying to take charlotte away form me . lulu : well , i 'm sure you made yourself sound sympathetic . you 're really good at that . it certainly worked with the judge . eventually , the truth will become apparent to the court , because except for nina , yeah , this entire town hates you . anna certainly knows exactly what you 're all about . valentin : you 'd be surprised what anna knows . [ scene_break ] griffin : mm . anna ! anna , hey . hi . anna : oh , griffin . griffin : hey , sorry . i did n't know you were back . anna : oh , yes . griffin : it 's good to see you . anna : i got back this morning . i was gon na call you , but , um ... it 's just been an exhausting day . griffin : yeah . is everything okay ? i know you went searching for answers to your past with valentin . anna : i found them . griffin : you want to -- you want to talk about it ? anna : it 's a long story . um ... turns out that i did do all those things that valentin accused me of . [ scene_break ] michael : so , nelle 's story was true ? except jax was the one who offered her father money , not you ? carly : jax paid frank , and frank did n't share the money with his family . no surprise there . michael : nelle really did believe everything that she told us . frank manipulated her into hating you . carly : okay . it 's not that simple , though . it 's not . i mean , yes , frank did lie to nelle . and i can understand how that would affect her , to an extent . but at some point , nelle got so twisted in her revenge that all she wanted to do was hurt me . you know ? i mean , think about it , michael . i let her into our lives . i gave her a job . i let her see me . i let her see the real me , and right then , that should 've made her question every single awful thing that frank ever told her . how did she repay me ? by doing every single thing she could to ruin my life -- and not just my life , but your life and josslyn 's life . and , okay , like , let 's say i could get past that . what i ca n't get past is that she used morgan 's death to manipulate us . [ scene_break ] nelle : everything suddenly makes sense . jax : what do you remember ? nelle : it does n't matter . it 's private . but the point is that i believe you . i believe that you made the deal with my dad and not carly . jax : look , i know you must be furious with me , but i want to make it right . nelle : you know what , please just -- please do n't talk to me about this right now . just leave me alone . will you ? jax : of course . nelle : please ? jax : okay . if you want to talk more about it , just give me a call , okay ? nelle : i did what you wanted , daddy . i made carly suffer . i made her hurt . i made her hate me forever . and it was all a lie . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kiki : i ca n't just forget about morgan or what he went through . of course , i have questions . why does that bother you so much ? ava : it does n't . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i overreacted . i 'm ... i know that i 'm overprotective of you , sweetheart . i just want what 's best . kiki : working at the hospital , on the psych ward , that is what is best for me . i can feel that . [ cell phone chimes ] ava : oh . they want me to come down to the police station and identify my belongings , so ... kiki : okay , let 's go . ava : no . [ laughs ] no , you do n't have to come with me . i 'll just be filling out paperwork and ... it 'll be a non - event . really , you just go get your manicure . kiki : are you sure ? ava : yeah , i 'm sure . and again , i 'm sorry that i snapped like that . i ... i did n't sleep very well last night . kiki : it 's okay , mom . do n't worry about it . i just -- i have some questions about morgan that i need answered so that i can finally have closure . [ scene_break ] sonny : i got your text . what 's going on ? dante : there 's been a development with morgan 's case . it may be nothing , but we need to investigate it . sonny : what happened ? dante : there was an attempted robbery at the floating rib last night . we bagged and tagged everything the robbers took from the patrons , but something strange turned up -- one of morgan 's prescription bottles .

[ scene_break ] sonny : okay , let me make sure i understand -- a bottle of pills with morgan 's name on it was discovered after a - a robbery ? dante : yeah . the perps held the whole bar at gunpoint , demanded everyone turn over their wallets , jewelry , cash . sonny : and somebody was walking around the floating rib with morgan 's pills ? dante : that 's the idea , but these guys wo n't say who they got the pills from . sonny : oh , i 'll -- i 'll get the name . dante : okay , i ca n't allow you to do that , and that 's gon na be a waste of time anyway . i 've got the lab analyzing morgan 's bottle of pills for dna and prints . we 'll get it back any minute .

[ cell phone rings ] nikki : [ sighs ] victor : now ... as the courier 's bringing over that gown ... nikki : mm - hmm . victor : i want you to take a bubble bath , and then we 'll have bonnie lay out all of your gowns , or whatever you want to wear . nikki : mm . victor : how does that sound ? nikki : well ... i 'm more interested in the menu . have you seen it ? what am i saying ? of course you 've seen it . so , what will it be ? rock cornish game hens or sole almondine ? victor : mm , how about both ? nikki : wow , we are really living . victor : oh , yeah . nikki : and dessert ? let 's see , we could do cherries jubilee or baked alaska . victor : i 'm not gon na spoil the surprise . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : who is pestering you like this ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm so sorry , but there 's something i have to take care of right now . okay ? nikki : oh , victor ... victor : sweetheart , i 'll be back before you know it . nikki : [ whining ] okay . victor : patience . think of all the ... what is it , something jubilee ? nikki : yes , how can you forget that ? victor : i ca n't . i 'll be back . paul : what were chloe 's exact words ? do you remember ? chelsea : she said , `` i blew up the cabin . i wanted him to die . `` so you need to find her and you need to lock her up for good this time . kevin : no , no , no . chloe did n't kill anyone . no one heard any of this ! no one knows exactly what she said or what drove her to leave ! chelsea : you honestly think i could force her into saying something like this ? kevin : you used to con people for a living ! chelsea : why would i want to do that , kevin ? why would i want to trick somebody i love into admitting she killed the father of my son ? that does n't even make any sense ! kevin : none of this makes any sense ! michael : all right , all right , all right ! everyone just -- let 's be civil . let 's be rational , all right ? chelsea : i 'm not the only one that thinks this , you know . nick -- he came to this conclusion a long time ago . i did n't want to believe it . i did n't want to believe that my best friend could do something so vile , but ... he went to paul about it , too . kevin : is that true ? how could you not say anything to me ? michael : kevin , do n't attack paul . i 'm sure he had his reasons . paul : several , in fact . chelsea : nick found evidence . he saw chloe dump a gym bag in a dumpster , and there was a wrench in there and there was a tranquilizer gun , and he went through her phone records . she was by the cabin the night of the explosion , kevin . kevin : wrong ! that 's not -- that 's wrong . she was at your place . i was with her ! she was worried about you and connor ! chelsea : all night ? were you really with her all night ? not every second , were you ? she went upstairs at one point , did n't she ? maybe made an excuse , saying she wanted to be alone ? she tricked you and she went upstairs , and then she left through that passageway in my closet . kevin : it would make me feel better if somebody stayed here with you and bella tonight , in case there 's any news on chelsea and connor . chloe : you would n't mind ? kevin : you kidding ? this sofa 's got my name all over it . chloe : we would really love that , the both of us . kevin : good . chloe : i 'll just grab you a pillow and a -- kevin : hey , hey , hey , hey . go to bed . i got it . chloe : you sure ? kevin : yes . chloe : good night . kevin : good night , chloe . chelsea : she used you for an alibi . just like she used me . that 's why you have to find her . you have to do something . paul : i 'll put out an apb and bring her in . ideas on where chloe might have gone ? anyone ? kevin : we would have been married by now . i ... gloria : i am here , sweetheart . whatever you need . kevin : answers . do you have any answers ? that 's what i need . esther : you know , chloe never got over losing delia . i thought she was getting better , that she had finally found peace . father todd : we can never really know what 's going on in the mind of a human being , the inner turmoil that they 're dealing with . esther : but i 'm her mother . i should have seen what was happening . father todd : esther ... you are a good woman and a decent mother . and you 're hurting . but please , please do n't blame yourself for any of this . chloe 's actions are her own . esther : will you pray with me , father ? father todd : of course . devon : should we take off , or do you want to stick around for kevin ? mariah : that and ... look , i do n't want you to think that i 'm ruthless like my co - host , but ... this is a newsworthy story . devon : you 're recording this ? mariah : no , no ! absolutely not . i have some scruples , but ... being here gives me the inside scoop . i do n't want to cause kevin any more pain , but ... this story 's gon na come out sooner or later . devon : that 's true , and if you break the story , then you control the spin . mariah : exactly . better me than hilary , right ? scott : god , guys . kevin 's your friend . i mean , his whole world just collapsed . are you really gon na , like , milk that for ratings ? chelsea : i 'm sorry for being so harsh . i 'm sorry about everything . i did n't want to believe it either , kevin . when nick came to me with his theory , i fought it with every ounce of hope that i had . kevin : well , evidence is n't proof . we say that at the police station all the time , so there 's another explanation . chelsea : yeah . i tried to rationalize it , too . but then i -- i could n't anymore because i heard those words come out of chloe 's mouth . i trusted her with everything . she was my best friend . she lived in my home . she tucked my son in at night knowing that she took his father from him . i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt , but when i opened that drawer and i saw that ring ... only someone who was with adam the night he died could have taken that ring off of his finger . i 'm just glad the truth came out before you married her . kevin : you should go . chelsea : okay . i 'll go . but i want my husband 's ring back . faith : ooh ! just like a fancy restaurant ? nikki : mm - hmm , only right here at home with beautiful flowers and candles and all of our favorites food . abby : you and dad are making time for what 's important again . nikki : yes , and , really , it 's all because of you . you have been so devoted in learning the ropes at newman and doing a terrific job . victor trusts you , so the more responsibility you take on ... abby : the more romantic evenings he can spend here with you . mm . i 'm very happy for you . nikki : thank you . and i must admit , i am a little nervous -- in a good way , though -- because usually whenever victor does something like this , he has a surprise or two up his sleeve . abby : [ laughs ] you know what i just realized ? faith does n't have school tomorrow , which means she can come home with me . we can have a little sleepover at my place . what do you say ? pizza and a movie , total girls ' night . faith : can i go ? please ! nikki : well ... okay ! yes , you can go ! faith : it 's gon na be so much fun ! abby : mm , it sure will . nikki : [ mouths ] thank you . mariah : there is a manhunt going on . this story is n't gon na stay under wraps for long . look , i realize you do n't know me , but i love kevin . he is one of my best friends . if i can get out in front of this -- scott : what would `` gc buzz `` put on the air ? what are your facts , mariah ? i mean , you have nothing . chloe 's -- chloe 's confession was just hearsay . devon : chelsea said that nick found evidence . scott : more hearsay . plus , he 's not a cop , so anything he might have is tainted . nick even knew that . that 's why he did n't bother giving it to paul . mariah : kevin 's family . you want to protect him , i understand that , but , damn it , so do i . and pretending none of this happened is n't gon na make it go away . scott : putting out a story without all the facts -- i mean , even if you 're trying to help -- can do more harm than good . i mean , you 're giving the public a first glimpse of a potential murder investigation . i mean , you could be branding chloe as a killer without any shred of real evidence . mariah : i understand that . scott : i can see you mean well , but with respect , you 're not a trained journalist . if you want do this the right way , get a degree , take a class , or i can recommend a book . shooting from the hip is gon na do more harm than good here with everybody . mariah : thank you for the advice . scott : so , does this mean you 're gon na sit on this , at least until you get more information ? devon : you do n't have to answer his question . mariah : why not ? devon : because we do n't know if he 's being straight with you . scott : what ? devon : you 're writing victor 's biography , right ? for all we know , you could be looking for a scoop on his son 's death for your book . scott : [ scoffs ] kevin : well , i 'm glad bella 's catching a nap . esther : yeah , but -- but what do we say to bella when she asks for her mother ? what on earth do i tell a child when i do n't even understand it myself ? kevin : it 's a nightmare . i -- i think i 'm about to make it worse , esther . chloe left a note , and she wants you to take care of bella . are you cool with that ? esther : of course , i 'd do anything for my granddaughter . kevin : good . esther : i promise to take care of her until chloe comes back and straightens out this whole horrible misunderstanding . kevin : okay . wherever chloe is , i 'm sure she appreciates that . esther : the caterers have to leave , i have to pay them . kevin : it 's okay . go . yeah , yeah , yeah . go . [ sighs ] gloria : you know , when you were a little boy and got upset , i used to make you tea with honey and cinnamon . you want a cup now ? i 'm sure esther would n't mind . kevin : no , mom . thank you . gloria : you know that chloe is n't my favorite person . kevin : if what chelsea said is true ... that means from the moment chloe came back into my life , everything 's been a lie . gloria : you listen to me . you know how much i fought this relationship . but i do n't believe for one minute that chloe lied when she said she loved you . she 's just not well . she needs help . scott : you know chloe a lot better than i do . lauren : clearly , i do n't . i mean , she 's done some very alarming things , but murder and covering everything up and pretending that everything is fine ? scott : you know , i 've met some sociopaths in my time , even written about them . within the first five minutes , you know something 's off , but chloe , she 's so normal . lauren : i hope the police find her . and soon . scott : kevin needs to see her , i think , and hear the truth out of her own lips before he 'll accept what 's going on . paul : sounds good . keep me posted . gloria : what 's going on ? scott : yeah , did you hear anything from chloe ? paul : uh , so far , there has been no sign of her . michael : paul has his best people on this . they 'll find her . kevin : she is n't dangerous . she 's not . she only wanted to hurt one person , the man who took delia from her . will you please make sure she 's brought in safely ? she needs to be with her family . paul : kevin , we will take every precaution , i promise you . you have my word , all right ? kevin : okay . thank you . father todd : not the day we 'd hoped for , huh ? paul : no . so i guess you 'll be heading back soon . father todd : yeah , tonight . it 's a long drive back to detroit . are we -- are we good with all this ? are we good , you and me ? paul : of course . father todd : okay . paul : travel safe . father todd : yeah . paul : and you should come by more often . we miss you . father todd : give my best to christine . paul : you got it . father todd : i love you , brother . paul : i love you , todd . scott : tell me i 'm off - base here . chloe does n't strike me as the type who would blow up buildings with or without people in them . i mean , is there something i 'm missing in her past ? arson ? malicious mischief , or ... ? paul : no , no . nothing like that . scott : well , then how could she pull off such a grand explosion ? she must have had some know - how or money . you think she possibly had some help ? paul : that 's what i intend to find out . [ loud knocking on door ] chelsea : uh , is nick here ? he 's not answering his cell phone . sharon : what ? no . no . he went to the wedding . to be with you ! chelsea : he never showed up . sharon : wait a minute . what are you doing here ? the reception ... chelsea : the wedding never happened . [ sighs ] nick was right all along . chloe is every bit as twisted as he said she was . chloe : finally ! where have you been ? i 've been waiting forever . victor : get in here . [ door slams ] [ next_on ] hilary : you 're hiding something from me , and you 're helping her . chloe : listen , chelsea -- she found the evidence that i framed adam . that evidence implicates you , too . | todd and kevin find chelsea unconscious upstairs in the bedroom and revive her . she tells them that chloe is the one who killed adam . everyone in attendance at the wedding reels from the news . at the newman ranch , victor and nikki make plans for the evening . nick watches as chloe drives away and he wonders what had happened that she was n't at her wedding . driving , chloe begins to cry about the way things turned out . victor gets a call and tells nikki that he will be back before too long . he leaves her alone . abby and faith arrive back at the ranch . nikki tells them about her plans with victor for the evening and they have her to thank for it because she is doing such a good job at newman . abby offers faith to go home with her for the night . faith is happy by the news . mariah and devon discuss how this would be a top story for gc buzz but before devon can say anything , scott joins them and tells mariah what a bad mistake she would be making if she leaked this story before the police could investigate . scott gives her helpful information on how to be a good journalist . scott reminds her that this evidence is only hearsay and this would be branding chloe a murderer . | <s>[INST] ( beginning is missing due to news interruption ; we 'll have to transcribe it by hand ) nikki : how was your day at the office ? victor : busy , but not overwhelming . nikki : sounds like my kind of day . victor : yeah . faith : grandpa , wait till you see the project i did for science class . victor : oh , yeah ? show me . faith : okay . it 's a unit on botany . that 's the study of plants . victor : oh , really ? i think i 've heard of that . faith : [ giggles ] we each chose a place in genoa city and wrote down the trees we saw . i picked chancellor park . victor : oh ! that 's a wonderful place . yeah . faith : i used an app to identify the different species . victor : hmm . faith : i counted 14 . see ? here 's my list . victor : 14 ? that 's a lot of species in that park . nikki : i had no idea there were that many types of trees planted there . victor : wow ! faith : mm - hmm . victor : you know what we 're gon na have to do ? you and i will take a walk through chancellor park and you will point out the trees , and you tell me what they are and what they 're called , okay ? faith : cool ! can we play chess later ? victor : you bet . i 'll make time this weekend , okay ? faith : okay ! victor : okay . nikki : you are so good with her . victor : well , she 's adorable . reminds me of victoria , you know ? young and inquisitive . nikki : well , like all of your children . victor : yeah . nikki : what is it ? is something wrong ? victor : [ sighs ] apparently , there 's a problem between chelsea and nicholas . nikki : oh . what is it ? victor : i think he really cares deeply for her , you know ? and whatever the problem is has him very upset . chelsea : hey , where 's chloe ? gloria : is n't she with you ? lauren : you went to go talk to her . chelsea : yeah , well , it did n't quite work out that way , so ... lauren : are you okay ? chelsea : esther , we 've got to go find your crazy daughter . esther : excuse me ? chelsea : you know all the hiding spots on this estate , right ? esther : i do not like the way that you are talking about chloe . chelsea : okay , well , you 're gon na like it a lot less when you hear the whole story . we 've got to track her down before she 's gone for good .

[ cell phone rings ] nikki : oh , please do n't answer it . i do n't want anything to ruin our evening . victor : one second , my sweetheart . okay . there we go . so ... now , where were we ? gloria : so , this is the truth ? chelsea : it 's the truth . chloe killed my husband . lauren : adam died in an explosion . it was a terrible accident . chelsea : yeah . she made it look that way . she did . scott : chloe killed a man , manipulated a crime scene , and then fooled a whole forensics team ? devon : that 's a pretty tall order , chelsea . michael : what 's your proof ? chelsea : she confessed . it was her own words . mariah : just now , upstairs ? chelsea : yes . why are you all acting so surprised ? you know how much chloe hated adam ! she never forgave him for what happened to delia , and she always wanted him to pay . lauren : right , but that was before she got help . chelsea : well , yeah , she went through the motions , but that 's all it was . she used her time in the hospital just to perfect her plan . she made me think that i was her best friend , but really , she 's ... she 's a monster . kevin : stop it ! you 're calling the woman i love a murderer , it 's not true . chelsea : it 's the facts , kevin . why else would she leave if she was innocent ? she knows that she 's caught so she 's trying to cover for herself , she 's trying to save her own skin . michael : these are serious accusations ! father todd : yeah , hey , paul . it 's todd . there 's a problem . you need to get out here right away . kevin : if chloe confessed to anything , it 's because you pushed her too far and drove her to some sort of breakdown . chelsea : then how do you explain this ? this is adam 's wedding ring , and i found it in chloe 's bedroom . so if she was n't by the cabin that night and she had nothing to do with adam 's death ... how do you think she got this in her possession , kevin ? nikki : i do miss our little traditions . victor : why do n't we revive them ? nikki : black tie , i presume ? victor : what do you think ? nikki : i think you might be getting ready to wheel in a rack of gowns for me to pick one out . victor : do you remember that ? nikki : of course , i do . who could forget such a larger - than - life victor newman move ? victor : that 's right . that 's right . do you know something ? as we speak , a courier from fenmore is on the way over with a beautiful gown and an accessory or two . nikki : [ giggles ] nikki : do i have to eat the last one ? victor : nikki , the last one is the best of all . nikki : [ sighs ] oh , my gosh ! what 's that ? victor : well , i believe you found a pearl . nikki : and it 's in a ring . victor : [ laughs ] what a clever oyster . let me put on it for you . there . nikki : my amazing husband . you have n't missed a trick . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : [ sighs ] victor : now ... as the courier 's bringing over that gown ... nikki : mm - hmm . victor : i want you to take a bubble bath , and then we 'll have bonnie lay out all of your gowns , or whatever you want to wear . nikki : mm . victor : how does that sound ? nikki : well ... i 'm more interested in the menu . have you seen it ? what am i saying ? of course you 've seen it . so , what will it be ? rock cornish game hens or sole almondine ? victor : mm , how about both ? nikki : wow , we are really living . victor : oh , yeah . nikki : and dessert ? let 's see , we could do cherries jubilee or baked alaska . victor : i 'm not gon na spoil the surprise . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : who is pestering you like this ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm so sorry , but there 's something i have to take care of right now . okay ? nikki : oh , victor ... victor : sweetheart , i 'll be back before you know it . nikki : [ whining ] okay . victor : patience . think of all the ... what is it , something jubilee ? nikki : yes , how can you forget that ? victor : i ca n't . i 'll be back . paul : what were chloe 's exact words ? do you remember ? chelsea : she said , `` i blew up the cabin . i wanted him to die . `` so you need to find her and you need to lock her up for good this time . kevin : no , no , no . chloe did n't kill anyone . no one heard any of this ! no one knows exactly what she said or what drove her to leave ! chelsea : you honestly think i could force her into saying something like this ? kevin : you used to con people for a living ! chelsea : why would i want to do that , kevin ? why would i want to trick somebody i love into admitting she killed the father of my son ? that does n't even make any sense ! kevin : none of this makes any sense ! michael : all right , all right , all right ! everyone just -- let 's be civil . let 's be rational , all right ? chelsea : i 'm not the only one that thinks this , you know . nick -- he came to this conclusion a long time ago . i did n't want to believe it . i did n't want to believe that my best friend could do something so vile , but ... he went to paul about it , too . kevin : is that true ? how could you not say anything to me ? michael : kevin , do n't attack paul . i 'm sure he had his reasons . paul : several , in fact . chelsea : nick found evidence . he saw chloe dump a gym bag in a dumpster , and there was a wrench in there and there was a tranquilizer gun , and he went through her phone records . she was by the cabin the night of the explosion , kevin . kevin : wrong ! that 's not -- that 's wrong . she was at your place . i was with her ! she was worried about you and connor ! chelsea : all night ? were you really with her all night ? not every second , were you ? she went upstairs at one point , did n't she ? maybe made an excuse , saying she wanted to be alone ? she tricked you and she went upstairs , and then she left through that passageway in my closet . kevin : it would make me feel better if somebody stayed here with you and bella tonight , in case there 's any news on chelsea and connor . chloe : you would n't mind ? kevin : you kidding ? this sofa 's got my name all over it . chloe : we would really love that , the both of us . kevin : good . chloe : i 'll just grab you a pillow and a -- kevin : hey , hey , hey , hey . go to bed . i got it . chloe : you sure ? kevin : yes . chloe : good night . kevin : good night , chloe . chelsea : she used you for an alibi . just like she used me . that 's why you have to find her . you have to do something . paul : i 'll put out an apb and bring her in . ideas on where chloe might have gone ? anyone ? kevin : we would have been married by now . i ... gloria : i am here , sweetheart . whatever you need . kevin : answers . do you have any answers ? that 's what i need . esther : you know , chloe never got over losing delia . i thought she was getting better , that she had finally found peace . father todd : we can never really know what 's going on in the mind of a human being , the inner turmoil that they 're dealing with . esther : but i 'm her mother . i should have seen what was happening . father todd : esther ... you are a good woman and a decent mother . and you 're hurting . but please , please do n't blame yourself for any of this . chloe 's actions are her own . esther : will you pray with me , father ? father todd : of course . devon : should we take off , or do you want to stick around for kevin ? mariah : that and ... look , i do n't want you to think that i 'm ruthless like my co - host , but ... this is a newsworthy story . devon : you 're recording this ? mariah : no , no ! absolutely not . i have some scruples , but ... being here gives me the inside scoop . i do n't want to cause kevin any more pain , but ... this story 's gon na come out sooner or later . devon : that 's true , and if you break the story , then you control the spin . mariah : exactly . better me than hilary , right ? scott : god , guys . kevin 's your friend . i mean , his whole world just collapsed . are you really gon na , like , milk that for ratings ? chelsea : i 'm sorry for being so harsh . i 'm sorry about everything . i did n't want to believe it either , kevin . when nick came to me with his theory , i fought it with every ounce of hope that i had . kevin : well , evidence is n't proof . we say that at the police station all the time , so there 's another explanation . chelsea : yeah . i tried to rationalize it , too . but then i -- i could n't anymore because i heard those words come out of chloe 's mouth . i trusted her with everything . she was my best friend . she lived in my home . she tucked my son in at night knowing that she took his father from him . i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt , but when i opened that drawer and i saw that ring ... only someone who was with adam the night he died could have taken that ring off of his finger . i 'm just glad the truth came out before you married her . kevin : you should go . chelsea : okay . i 'll go . but i want my husband 's ring back . faith : ooh ! just like a fancy restaurant ? nikki : mm - hmm , only right here at home with beautiful flowers and candles and all of our favorites food . abby : you and dad are making time for what 's important again . nikki : yes , and , really , it 's all because of you . you have been so devoted in learning the ropes at newman and doing a terrific job . victor trusts you , so the more responsibility you take on ... abby : the more romantic evenings he can spend here with you . mm . i 'm very happy for you . nikki : thank you . and i must admit , i am a little nervous -- in a good way , though -- because usually whenever victor does something like this , he has a surprise or two up his sleeve . abby : [ laughs ] you know what i just realized ? faith does n't have school tomorrow , which means she can come home with me . we can have a little sleepover at my place . what do you say ? pizza and a movie , total girls ' night . faith : can i go ? please ! nikki : well ... okay ! yes , you can go ! faith : it 's gon na be so much fun ! abby : mm , it sure will . nikki : [ mouths ] thank you . mariah : there is a manhunt going on . this story is n't gon na stay under wraps for long . look , i realize you do n't know me , but i love kevin . he is one of my best friends . if i can get out in front of this -- scott : what would `` gc buzz `` put on the air ? what are your facts , mariah ? i mean , you have nothing . chloe 's -- chloe 's confession was just hearsay . devon : chelsea said that nick found evidence . scott : more hearsay . plus , he 's not a cop , so anything he might have is tainted . nick even knew that . that 's why he did n't bother giving it to paul . mariah : kevin 's family . you want to protect him , i understand that , but , damn it , so do i . and pretending none of this happened is n't gon na make it go away . scott : putting out a story without all the facts -- i mean , even if you 're trying to help -- can do more harm than good . i mean , you 're giving the public a first glimpse of a potential murder investigation . i mean , you could be branding chloe as a killer without any shred of real evidence . mariah : i understand that . scott : i can see you mean well , but with respect , you 're not a trained journalist . if you want do this the right way , get a degree , take a class , or i can recommend a book . shooting from the hip is gon na do more harm than good here with everybody . mariah : thank you for the advice . scott : so , does this mean you 're gon na sit on this , at least until you get more information ? devon : you do n't have to answer his question . mariah : why not ? devon : because we do n't know if he 's being straight with you . scott : what ? devon : you 're writing victor 's biography , right ? for all we know , you could be looking for a scoop on his son 's death for your book . scott : [ scoffs ] kevin : well , i 'm glad bella 's catching a nap . esther : yeah , but -- but what do we say to bella when she asks for her mother ? what on earth do i tell a child when i do n't even understand it myself ? kevin : it 's a nightmare . i -- i think i 'm about to make it worse , esther . chloe left a note , and she wants you to take care of bella . are you cool with that ? esther : of course , i 'd do anything for my granddaughter . kevin : good . esther : i promise to take care of her until chloe comes back and straightens out this whole horrible misunderstanding . kevin : okay . wherever chloe is , i 'm sure she appreciates that . esther : the caterers have to leave , i have to pay them . kevin : it 's okay . go . yeah , yeah , yeah . go . [ sighs ] gloria : you know , when you were a little boy and got upset , i used to make you tea with honey and cinnamon . you want a cup now ? i 'm sure esther would n't mind . kevin : no , mom . thank you . gloria : you know that chloe is n't my favorite person . kevin : if what chelsea said is true ... that means from the moment chloe came back into my life , everything 's been a lie . gloria : you listen to me . you know how much i fought this relationship . but i do n't believe for one minute that chloe lied when she said she loved you . she 's just not well . she needs help . scott : you know chloe a lot better than i do . lauren : clearly , i do n't . i mean , she 's done some very alarming things , but murder and covering everything up and pretending that everything is fine ? scott : you know , i 've met some sociopaths in my time , even written about them . within the first five minutes , you know something 's off , but chloe , she 's so normal . lauren : i hope the police find her . and soon . scott : kevin needs to see her , i think , and hear the truth out of her own lips before he 'll accept what 's going on . paul : sounds good . keep me posted . gloria : what 's going on ? scott : yeah , did you hear anything from chloe ? paul : uh , so far , there has been no sign of her . michael : paul has his best people on this . they 'll find her . kevin : she is n't dangerous . she 's not . she only wanted to hurt one person , the man who took delia from her . will you please make sure she 's brought in safely ? she needs to be with her family . paul : kevin , we will take every precaution , i promise you . you have my word , all right ? kevin : okay . thank you . father todd : not the day we 'd hoped for , huh ? paul : no . so i guess you 'll be heading back soon . father todd : yeah , tonight . it 's a long drive back to detroit . are we -- are we good with all this ? are we good , you and me ? paul : of course . father todd : okay . paul : travel safe . father todd : yeah . paul : and you should come by more often . we miss you . father todd : give my best to christine . paul : you got it . father todd : i love you , brother . paul : i love you , todd . scott : tell me i 'm off - base here . chloe does n't strike me as the type who would blow up buildings with or without people in them . i mean , is there something i 'm missing in her past ? arson ? malicious mischief , or ... ? paul : no , no . nothing like that . scott : well , then how could she pull off such a grand explosion ? she must have had some know - how or money . you think she possibly had some help ? paul : that 's what i intend to find out .

[ door closes ] damon : more for us . liza : yeah , i 'm not staying . damon : come on . we can do this . liza : why would we want to do this ? damon : because maybe we could get to a place where we could be in the same room without wanting to break something . if we spend time together , maybe we could actually start to like each other a little bit . and if that happens , hell , maybe i 'll even learn to trust you . and then maybe i could even start deleting certain pictures from my phone .

[ scene_break ] greenlee : obviously , all that mountain air has made you delusional . i did n't set you up , and if i did , i 'm way too smart to leave a trail . erica : well , you did leave a trail , and it will be very easily found out . greenlee : again , erica , the only way i 've gotten you out of my company is to throw myself completely into developing my cosmetics line . i 'm getting fusion back based on the quality of my product and my expertise in the industry . i do n't need to resort to dirty tricks . erica : well , you did . you did , and your husband did . greenlee : think what you want . just let me out of here . erica : actually , i 'm expecting a call from my computer people any minute . so you might be spending the night in jail tonight , right now , tonight instead of popping champagne corks . ok . ok . i guess we 're done here . hey ! what are you doing ? what 's going on here ? greenlee : you ca n't just go through our files . agent huston : agent huston , ma'am . and , yes , we can . agent bennett : and somebody made our job a little easier by taking a precaution . we discovered a digital watchdog on the computer system . records every entry of every single accounting file -- who logged on , what they did , when it was done . greenlee : where 's your warrant ? do n't you need permission ? agent huston : we 've determined the allegations of financial tampering with the miranda charity are legitimate . until guilt can be assessed , we 're authorized to shut down fusion . [ scene_break ] tad : mr. miller . i heard you were passing through . paul : and you tracked me down , huh ? tad : ah , no . i just did a little research . found out you occasionally do business in pine valley , like to follow up with a couple hands of cards . paul : and here you are . tad : i had a friend promise to give me a call in case you ever showed up . paul : hmm . tad : i mean , i did n't think you would want to pop in on damon . unless , of course , the whole father 's day thing is getting to you , you 'd like to say hi ? paul : ohh . does n't look like this is gon na be a lucky night . all right . so what 's he done now ? tad : excuse me ? paul : that 's why you 're here , right , to tell me that damon 's in some kind of trouble ? what ? tad : no . i 'm here to see you about damon , but he 's not in any kind of trouble . matter of fact , he 's doing pretty well . paul : really ? i mean , he did n't knock up that cute little girl he was with ? i mean , i was betting he 'd have two kids by the time he was 20 . tad : no . both he and colby are fairly responsible . paul : right . sure they are . tad : as it turns out , stuart 's not his son after all . dna proved it . paul : really ? tad : mm - hmm . paul : well , thank god . that kid is not cut out to be a father . tad : on the topic of fathers and sons , i originally wanted to have this discussion with hillary , but because she wo n't talk to me , i 'm gon na pitch it right at you . turns out i 'm damon 's biological father , and he knows the truth . paul : congratulations . he 's your problem now .

[ scene_break ] sharon : i think you 're sounding a little paranoid . nick : because i 'm sure my sister has something up her sleeve ? you really do n't get it , do you ? sharon : get what ? nick : how much it means to me to run newman enterprises . sharon : of course i do . this is something you 've wanted your entire life . nick : my sister and father have always had this special connection . sharon : well , a lot of fathers and daughters have that . nick : but it 's more . my dad 's always trusted vicki so much more than he trusts me . it 's like i always feel like i have to prove myself to him . sharon : but you 've done that . and your father turned newman enterprises over to you . you 're the one in charge . nick : but that would n't matter to vicki . if she came home , she would constantly question me . there would always be conflict and before long , my father would be the one calling the shots . i have big plans for newman enterprises , but i have to do it my way . i wan na prove that i 'm not second best , and not just to my father . i wan na prove it to myself , too . sharon : you know , i 've never heard you talk this way . nick : i really feel like i need to do this without victoria . sharon : well , i think that 's pretty much resolved . victoria made it clear she has no interest in working at newman . nick : no way is my dad just gon na give up . if he 's determined to keep her in genoa city , it 's because he wants her at newman . i 'd bet my life on it . sharon : but it 's not up to him . nick : do n't be so sure of that . [ scene_break ] victor : i can see you know more than you 're admitting . phyllis : you know , this conversation is making me very uncomfortable . victor : and i am uncomfortable about the fact that you 're withholding things from me . this affects my family , and my company , the company that you are working for , if i may remind you . i think i deserve an explanation , do n't you ? phyllis : jack offered victoria the position of c.e.o . she turned him down . that 's why he hired jill . victor : why do i get the impression that victoria still feels she has a shot at it ? phyllis : i do n't know about that . victor : are you sure ? phyllis : yeah , i 'm sure . victoria does n't confide in me . victor : but jack abbott does . phyllis : not really . and i 'll tell you this . he made a commitment to jill , so i doubt that anybody but jill abbott will be heading up jabot . victor : now you and i both know that jack abbott does n't give a damn about commitments . you have a nice day . [ scene_break ] ashley : well , you are right about that . jill is so wrong for this job . brad is eminently more qualified . he 's got a better head on his shoulders . he 's got a better sense of how the whole operation works at jabot . jack : i 'm not talking about brad . there 's someone else who is a perfect candidate , and she wants the job . ashley : who is this `` she `` ? jack : victoria . ashley : have you lost your mind ? jack : do n't act like it 's the craziest thing you 've ever heard . ashley : no , this is beyond crazy . you want victoria newman to be the c.e.o . of our company ? jack : yes . i want victoria , and i want your support .

billy : no one wants to hear a damn word you have to say . jill : you leave . you have no place here . billy : what , are your -- your words gon na bring delia back ? adam : of course not . billy : so , if you 're so determined to do the right thing for once in your sorry life , why do n't you walk the hell away and let us honor my daughter 's memory in peace ? victor : for once , you 're right , billy boy . but since you were released into my custody -- jack : maybe adam should be allowed to speak . phyllis : jack -- kevin : no , no , he needs to keep his mouth shut . you 've got no rights here . jack : that may be , but the little girl who we 're all here to honor would have looked beyond that . delia would have looked into adam 's heart and seen the best in him , not the worst . victoria : billy ... please . adam : jack , you 're a better friend than i ever deserved to have . like a lot of you here , i know what it 's like to get a second chance at life ... something that , unfortunately , delia ... will never have . billy , you 're right . all the pain , all the suffering , a beautiful life cut short -- no words that i 'm gon na say can bring justice to that , can make that right . i ca n't bring her back . but i feel like if i would have spoken up sooner , i could have saved you a little bit of that pain , a little bit of that -- that suffering , and i should have done that . billy , i should have , and i did n't . and i 'm sorry . your daughter -- delia -- is gone , and i 'm to blame . and i got to wear that . and i will . but i want you to know there 's not a day , not a -- there 's not a moment that goes by that i do n't wish i could go back to that night and that moment and bring her back . and i would if i could , billy , and i would gladly give my life in exchange for your sweet daughter 's . [ hands clapping slowly ] chloe : [ chuckles ] wow . oscar - worthy performance . adam , congratulations . wow , it looks like you 've even fooled some people here . you know , you may have a different face , but i know , deep down inside , you are still the same insincere bastard you 've always been . [ hands clapping slowly ] adam : [ breathes deeply ] paul : look , if you 're blaming yourself for the trackers not working on the stolen meds , you know , it could have been a technical glitch . it 's not your fault . dylan : yeah , could have been . paul : the kidnapper could have found the trackers and destroyed them before they led us to hilary . you do n't know . dylan : or something else could have gone wrong . paul : welcome to the imperfect world of police science . [ sighs ] why do i get the feeling there 's something going on that you have n't told me about ? devon : dylan , did you tell paul what happened yet ? paul : tell me what ? dylan : nothing . no , devon ... devon : no , no , i 'm not gon na keep quiet . i 've been doing that long enough . my wife 's life is at stake . cane : you know , this was supposed to be easy . dylan was meant to make the drop . then the kidnapper was meant to call and give us hilary 's location . lily : well , that could still happen . cane : no , too much time has passed . you know , this is dylan 's fault , when he decided to go and be a cowboy and let the guy get away with the ransom . lily : okay , dylan feels worse than anyone about what happened . cane : [ scoffs ] lily : and the kidnapper could still call . he has his money . why would he hold on to hilary ? cane : yeah , well , you 're assuming he still has her . maybe he just wanted to get the cash , then all of a sudden she 's expendable . rick : sorry to interrupt . lily : what is it , rick ? rick : i found this on the valet stand outside . cane : thank you . lily : that 's the same envelope that had the ransom note in it . cane : yeah . you have to give the kidnapper props . he knows we do n't have surveillance over the valet area . lily : okay , i 'm calling devon . cane : no , just -- just wait a second . i just want to make sure this is the message we 've been waiting for . neil : hey , help me wipe everything . gwen : why are you rushing around ? neil : because there can be no fingerprints left here , nothing that can be used as evidence . you hear me ? gwen : is this because i thought i heard something outside last night ? i mean , that could have been kids or a stray animal . neil : yeah , or whoever 's posing as the kidnapper . you ever think about that ? gwen : how would they even know that we have hilary here ? i mean , it 's probably like you said . it 's all a ruse . neil : okay . watch out . gwen : we 're safe here , okay ? by now , the fake kidnapper 's probably retired to a tropical island , happily spending devon 's ransom money . neil : really ? or maybe the kidnapper knows exactly where this woman is and they 're gon na celebrate their payday by notifying the police . if the police and devon -- gwen : it 's not gon na happen . it 's okay . neil : what are you doing ? what did i just tell you ? your hand . the fingerprints . wipe it off . here . oh , god . gwen : why ? you own the boathouse , neil . why clean off the fingerprints when devon 's bound to realize that -- you 're not trying to protect yourself . you 're trying to protect me , making sure every trace of me is gone . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm doing . i 'm erasing everything that ties you to this place and what happened here . gwen : but i 'm part of it . neil : no , you 're not . no . not anymore . you got to go . you can not be an accessory to this . gwen : i 'm not leaving you . i knew the consequences getting into this . and i was n't gon na let you go through it alone then , and i 'm not going to now . neil : yeah , that 's great . and i love you for that . and i 'll never forget what you 've done for me , helping me and helping to keep this person alive . gwen : then let me stay . neil : i 'm done . i 'm through . this has got to end right now . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na wait here with hilary until devon and the police show up . gwen : neil -- neil : and if anyone ever questions you , do n't you dare acknowledge that you knew what happened here . gwen : i ca n't just leave you alone . neil : and i ca n't face devon and the law showing up here -- listen , i 'm doing this for -- i want you to be free . gwen : but what about you ? neil : i started this alone , and i 'm gon na finish it alone . gwen : i do n't want to go . i 'm not going to . neil : i have to somehow make some good come out of this . hilary 's gon na wake up at some point eventually when she gets the proper medical attention . and when she does , this whole story is gon na come out . what do you think 's gon na happen to me . huh ? i 'm gon na be prosecuted . i ca n't help save myself , but , damn it , i can help save you . gwen : but i do n't want to lose you . neil : what did i tell you at the start of all this ? that we were gon na find ourselves here someday , and now we have . and the sooner you go , the better off we both are . gwen : but i do n't want to go . paul : so , this is n't about the trackers on the stolen meds . there 's something else . you two are holding out on me . devon : there is something . dylan : yes , there is . devon is worried that time is running out for hilary . i mean , can you blame him ? everything we 've done has blown up in our faces , but it 's only gon na make it worse for hilary right now if we panic or we say or do something that we 're gon na regret later . devon : and what about everything that we do n't do or say , dylan ? what if i live to regret that ? paul : you know what ? this has to stop right now . whatever it is you 're keeping from me , it want to know what it is right now . devon : cane , this is n't a good time . cane : we just got another message from the kidnapper . devon : all right . i 'll be right there . i got to . sorry . dylan : i 'm gon na go . paul : you 're not going anywhere . esther : chloe -- chloe : mom , not now . i know what i 'm doing . kevin : chloe , are you sure about that ? chloe : absolutely . i mean , why are you all so surprised to see me ? today , of all days ? i 'm here for the same reasons you all are -- to commemorate the anniversary of my daughter 's death . two years ago today , adam ran her over and left her on the side of the road . victor : kevin , why do n't you take chloe somewhere quiet ? chloe : i do n't need to be taken anywhere ... not yet . i mean , i 've come all this way . i 'm not gon na miss the most important moment . billy : chloe , what are you talking about ? chloe : oh , the moment , billy ... the moment that is bigger and better than all of the tender sentiments and the mea culpas ... the moment when justice is finally served . and i 'm here to deliver it . [ all gasp ] chelsea : chloe ! paul : why do i get the feeling things have already taken a turn for the worse ? dylan : i got to go . paul : you did n't even have to hear devon 's phone call to know what was going on . if this has anything to do with hilary 's whereabouts , i want to know now . dylan : i need you to trust me on this . paul : what about trusting me ? ! dylan : i do trust you ! i promise you this -- if and when i find out more , you 'll be the first to know . [ sighs ] neil : you 're gon na have to hurry up and get out of here before the cops show up . gwen : i 'm not going . neil : the police are gon na find this place . what 's so hard to understand about -- with or without anybody 's help . [ sighs ] gwen : you tried to send me away once before , and see how well that worked ? still here . neil : that 's because i needed you . i needed you to help me . i do n't need you anymore . other people are gon na take care of hilary now . gwen : and who 's gon na take care of you , neil ? it 's what i want , okay , is to be with you , whatever comes . neil : and when devon and the police show up , then what ? gwen : when they 're close , we can make a run for it together . neil : make a -- [ chuckles ] this is n't a movie . i want you gone , okay ? i do n't know how to make it any more clear to you . i do n't want you hanging on to me or taking care of me anymore . do i have to call the police myself just to get rid of you ? i 'm gon na ask you nicely . go . go ! [ sighs ] esther : chloe , no ! kevin : you do not want to do this . chloe : you want to bet ? billy : chloe , is this gon na make up for the loss of our little girl ? because believe me , if i thought it would , i would pull that trigger for you . but it wo n't . i learned that the hard way . esther : please , baby , i 've already lost a granddaughter . i do n't want to lose you . chloe : everybody , stay back ! you know , i have been imagining this moment ever since i heard that you somehow escaped the death that you so richly deserved . i thought about what it would look like when i got to see you scared for your own life , the same kind of fear that my daughter felt . adam : i think you should do it . i 'm not gon na stop you . chelsea : i will . no . chloe , no . chloe : chelsea , get out of the way . i mean it , chelsea . adam : please get out of the way . chloe : you stand back . chelsea : chloe , look at me , okay ? look at me . it 's me . remember ? your best friend ? okay , what are you gon na do ? are you gon na shoot me ? what , are you gon na shoot connor 's mom and connor 's dad ? chloe : if you 're gon na stand there and plead for this killer 's life , then -- chelsea : i 'm not . i 'm pleading for delia 's life because today is about her and her life and everything she gave us and everything she taught us . i know you do n't think adam deserves to live . chloe : after what he did ? chelsea : what would delia want ? you knew her better than anybody . what would she want ? she would want to adam to live . chloe : no . chelsea : yes . yes , she would because you taught her to be kind and caring and sweet and compassionate and forgiving . she would want him to live . chloe : well , i do n't want him to live . chelsea : she does n't want you to be hurting anymore . she does n't want you to have all of this hatred inside of you anymore . delia does n't want that . chloe : [ voice breaking ] he took her from me . chelsea : he did n't take away who she was , and that 's what you 're doing right now . my god , chloe , you 're standing holding a gun and making a mockery of delia 's beautiful life . what would she say if she was standing here right now , if she was standing here looking up at you , holding your hand , smiling at you ? what would she say ? chloe : [ crying ] she 'd -- she 'd say -- [ gasps ] sh -- she -- chelsea : she would say , `` let him live . `` and then you -- you get to live , and then -- and then delia gets to live through all of us . chloe : [ breathing heavily ] [ sobs ] chelsea : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay .

[ sighs ] i 'll hear a kid laughing . i 'll see a balloon floating or a puppy playing in the park . chloe : [ sighs ] look , i need to tell you this . i wanted to do to adam what he did to my daughter . and i might have walked away had he not made that lame apology . it is just so unfair that delia is gone and adam is just still walking around . kevin : well , what if chelsea had n't stopped you ? chloe : [ sighs ] if shot him ... it would have cost me . but adam is not worth me losing the most precious thing in my life . kevin : and what 's that ? victoria : did today bring it all back ? billy : what , the rage ? no . that 's been boiling over ever since i found out that gabe bingham was actually adam newman , he 's been scamming our family this whole time . i -- [ sighs ] i wanted to kill the guy with my bare hands . victoria : i know . but you did n't . billy : no . because you were there ... reminding me that i have so much more to live for , like those two beautiful kids upstairs . and , um , thank you for that . victoria : i do n't want your gratitude . but i will take a kiss . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : you 're still upset . billy : yeah , i 'm just concerned about chloe . victoria : i know . after all that time she spent in the hospital , i thought that she would be better and that maybe she 'd have a good life somewhere . billy : even kevin does n't know where she 's living . i mean , she cut ties with everybody . victoria : she was just trying to distance herself from everything . billy : but now she does n't have anyone to keep her grounded . there 's nobody to keep her from doing anything reckless like she did today or what she wanted to do with me when ... victoria : what did she want to do with you ? billy : [ sighs ] victoria : remember , there 's no more secrets between us . billy : well , it was n't a secret . it 's just that you and i were split up at the time , so -- victoria : well , but we 're back together now , so you can tell me . billy : before she left town , she tried to convince me that we should have another baby together . esther : i am just worried sick about chloe ! if chelsea had n't stopped her , she might have shot adam . jill : [ scoffs ] not that he does n't deserve it . esther : but if she 'd gone through with it , she would have ended up in jail . lauren : and michael would have defended her and gotten her off . esther : mm . jill : look , there is not a jury on this planet that would have convicted chloe after what adam did to her and put her through . and billy -- put billy through , put me through , put delia 's whole family through . do you know my son has scars that will never go away ? [ chuckles ] and michael is defending that scum . lauren : ugh . i know . i know . but for better or worse , he believes that everyone is entitled to a vigorous defense . jill : oh , bull . lauren : you know , what i would like to know is , how on earth did adam parade as that gabriel bingham for so long ? jill : there 's your answer right there . hey , you . you knew gabriel 's true identity this whole time , did n't you ? answer me a question . how dare you protect victor 's son over your own brother ? cane : i should have gone with devon , and i should have gone with dylan . paul : gone where ? cane : [ sighs ] lily : um ... devon 's just been a wreck since we lost the trail of the stolen meds . cane : so dylan wanted to take him out so he could let some steam off . paul : so , where are they ? lily : uh , the gym . cane : bowling . paul : ah . they 're not in the gym , and i 'm not buying the bowling story , either . now , where are they ? look , i know something 's going on , something that no one wants the gcpd to know about . cane : paul . paul : i warned dylan , and now i 'm gon na warn you two . cane : paul . paul : hilary 's life depends on us working together . think about that . [ both sigh ] lily : god , please just let this be over today . cane : maybe it will be . lily : devon and dylan can not reach another dead end . they have to find hilary . abby : so , tell me , mr . brilliant chemist doctor boy , does blue agave have a medicinal benefit ? stitch : absolutely . abby : [ chuckles ] then why is n't it making me feel any better ? just thinking about holding chelsea 's precious little boy and not knowing if chloe was gon na pull the trigger ... i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] some date this turned out to be , right ? stitch : you know , then [ sighs ] we 'll have to improve it . victoria : chloe wanted you to give her a baby ? billy : uh , maybe i should have kept that secret . victoria : no , i 'm -- i 'm really glad you told me . it 's just , how much convincing did she do ? billy : [ sighs ] not enough . look , she was -- she was desperate , and she was hurting just like i was . but i knew that i could n't replace delia , and i told her that much . besides that , i ... i think there was a part of me that knew i was gon na find my way back to you . and unlike chloe , we 've got two amazing kids . victoria : you feel guilty . billy : i just feel like she 's lost . victoria : [ sighs ] you did the right thing turning her down . billy : [ chuckles ] no doubt . but maybe if she had a kid of her own that she could love that would love her back , then maybe she would n't have shown up out of nowhere waving a gun around . kevin : tell me what you meant . what 's the most important thing in your life ? chloe : [ exhales sharply ] is n't it obvious ? my freedom . you know , when i left town , i was determined to make a clean break and sever all ties . and , you know , i did it . kevin : until you found out adam was still alive . chloe : well , so much for good intentions . do n't worry . i 'm not gon na try it again . kevin : i 'm glad to hear that . so , tell me about this new life of yours . chloe : you know what ? i -- i want to talk about you . have you met someone ? kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm still married to my computer . chloe : what 's her name ? kevin : it 's complicated . chloe : who is she ? kevin : mariah . [ sighs ] she was in trouble when we met . we became friends . we tried to be more than friends . now we 're back to being friends again . what ? chloe : i mean , why ca n't you just ever do love the easy way ? kevin : and miss all the excitement ? chloe : with you , there 's always this small , little degree of difficulty . kevin : yeah , kind of like the olympics . [ chuckles ] that 's something we always had in common . chloe : you know what ? um , i 'm gon na take your advice , and i think i 'm gon na get some rest . kevin : why are you trying to get rid of me all of a sudden ? chloe : because i 'm tired . you know what ? will you do me a favor ? will you just , um , get rid of the gun , just in case i try to use it again ? kevin : yeah , i 'll drop it off at the police station . chloe : hey , kevin . thanks . [ smooches ] [ sighs ] kevin : [ sighs ] adam : probably already booked your one - way ticket to paris , huh ? chelsea : nice try , but i 'm not telling you where connor and i are moving . nobody knows . so ... this is goodbye , adam . adam : i was thinking about how ironic this is , that -- that this goodbye because this is where also where i saw you two again for the first time . remember that ? i fell in love with you all over again . chelsea : i have to go . adam : chelsea ... you know , um ... i grew up without a father . and it was n't good . it messed me up pretty bad . and my mother was terrific . like you are to connor , she was wonderful . but , you know , i always sort of held on to this hole in my heart , knowing that my father was out there somewhere and he chose not to love me . i do n't want that for him . will you remind him of that , that if it were up to me , if i had it my way , i would be in your life , i would be in his life , i would raise him every single day , i would teach him everything i know ? and just because i 'm not there does n't mean that i do n't love him and it does n't mean that i 'm not thinking of you and that i do n't love you every single day , okay ? will you please tell him that , make sure he remembers it ? chelsea : [ sighs ] victor : do you think maybe a thank - you is in order ? adam : you want me to thank you for what ? victor : for the heartwarming moment you just had with your family . who do you think made that possible ? adam : mm . victor : i twisted a certain judge 's arm and wrote a big check . now it 's time for you to fulfill your promise . adam : i see . yeah , no , because god forbid i relax for just a moment . you know , i almost died today . were you here ? did you see that ? victor : you did n't , did you ? so forget about it . adam : forget about it 'cause you said so . victor : you bet . adam : there it is . victor : that 's right . you fix the paragon problem , adam ... or else ... you 'll be put back in jail . i can see to it . remember that . adam : thank you . jack : i will chalk this up to you being out of the loop while away in hong kong , but let me set you straight -- i tried to do what was best for billy . jill : by letting the man who murdered my granddaughter walk around scot - free with a brand - new identity , huh ? lauren : why do n't we just let this all play out in court , okay ? phyllis : that works . jack : what do you think would have happened if billy knew that adam was alive ? jill : adam would be in jail . jack : so would billy . he damn near killed adam once . if he tried again and succeeded , how would you feel then ? jill : jack , my son lost his daughter -- your niece . he deserved to know that his brother had his back ! jack : i have his back . believe me . phyllis : okay . all right . jack : as if billy does n't know it . lauren : okay . all come on . okay . jack : i 'm tired of standing here trying to defend my actions . phyllis : you are meaning well -- i understand that . the more you try to keep the people you love from making mistakes , the more you resemble victor . summer : hey . how 's chloe ? kevin : i do n't know . she was ready to throw her life away today to punish adam , and then ... summer : then what ? kevin : she was talking about having something to live for ... something or someone . kyle : you 're not jealous , are you ? chloe : hi . is everything okay ? um , yeah . listen , um , i need to stick around here . do you think that you could keep her for a few more days ? great . thanks . billy : keep who ? [ doorknob creaking ] [ next_on ] cane : devon is not gon na find her . he 's not gon na -- she 's not there . lily : how could you know that ? michael : i need you to testify at adam 's trial . or , more accurately , adam needs you . chloe : we could team up . we could figure out a way to kill adam and not get caught . | at delia 's tree - planting ceremony , adam gives a speech about how sorry he is . chloe shows herself , clapping sarcastically . she says that justice is finally going to be served and pulls a gun on adam . chelsea steps in and talks chloe down . kevin takes chloe away . chelsea tells adam that what she did , she did for chloe 's sake , not adam 's . chloe tells kevin that she has something to live for but she does n't say what . later , billy hears her ask someone on the phone if she can take care of `` her `` for longer . neil fears that the fake kidnapper will come to the boathouse . he tells gwen he does n't want her there anymore and she begrudgingly leaves . cane and lily receive another letter from the kidnapper giving a phone number where he can be reached . he tells devon where to go . devon and dylan head to the boathouse . neil prepares to leave and sees the boathouse door 's doorknob turning . | <s>[INST] billy : no one wants to hear a damn word you have to say . jill : you leave . you have no place here . billy : what , are your -- your words gon na bring delia back ? adam : of course not . billy : so , if you 're so determined to do the right thing for once in your sorry life , why do n't you walk the hell away and let us honor my daughter 's memory in peace ? victor : for once , you 're right , billy boy . but since you were released into my custody -- jack : maybe adam should be allowed to speak . phyllis : jack -- kevin : no , no , he needs to keep his mouth shut . you 've got no rights here . jack : that may be , but the little girl who we 're all here to honor would have looked beyond that . delia would have looked into adam 's heart and seen the best in him , not the worst . victoria : billy ... please . adam : jack , you 're a better friend than i ever deserved to have . like a lot of you here , i know what it 's like to get a second chance at life ... something that , unfortunately , delia ... will never have . billy , you 're right . all the pain , all the suffering , a beautiful life cut short -- no words that i 'm gon na say can bring justice to that , can make that right . i ca n't bring her back . but i feel like if i would have spoken up sooner , i could have saved you a little bit of that pain , a little bit of that -- that suffering , and i should have done that . billy , i should have , and i did n't . and i 'm sorry . your daughter -- delia -- is gone , and i 'm to blame . and i got to wear that . and i will . but i want you to know there 's not a day , not a -- there 's not a moment that goes by that i do n't wish i could go back to that night and that moment and bring her back . and i would if i could , billy , and i would gladly give my life in exchange for your sweet daughter 's . [ hands clapping slowly ] chloe : [ chuckles ] wow . oscar - worthy performance . adam , congratulations . wow , it looks like you 've even fooled some people here . you know , you may have a different face , but i know , deep down inside , you are still the same insincere bastard you 've always been . [ hands clapping slowly ] adam : [ breathes deeply ] paul : look , if you 're blaming yourself for the trackers not working on the stolen meds , you know , it could have been a technical glitch . it 's not your fault . dylan : yeah , could have been . paul : the kidnapper could have found the trackers and destroyed them before they led us to hilary . you do n't know . dylan : or something else could have gone wrong . paul : welcome to the imperfect world of police science . [ sighs ] why do i get the feeling there 's something going on that you have n't told me about ? devon : dylan , did you tell paul what happened yet ? paul : tell me what ? dylan : nothing . no , devon ... devon : no , no , i 'm not gon na keep quiet . i 've been doing that long enough . my wife 's life is at stake . cane : you know , this was supposed to be easy . dylan was meant to make the drop . then the kidnapper was meant to call and give us hilary 's location . lily : well , that could still happen . cane : no , too much time has passed . you know , this is dylan 's fault , when he decided to go and be a cowboy and let the guy get away with the ransom . lily : okay , dylan feels worse than anyone about what happened . cane : [ scoffs ] lily : and the kidnapper could still call . he has his money . why would he hold on to hilary ? cane : yeah , well , you 're assuming he still has her . maybe he just wanted to get the cash , then all of a sudden she 's expendable . rick : sorry to interrupt . lily : what is it , rick ? rick : i found this on the valet stand outside . cane : thank you . lily : that 's the same envelope that had the ransom note in it . cane : yeah . you have to give the kidnapper props . he knows we do n't have surveillance over the valet area . lily : okay , i 'm calling devon . cane : no , just -- just wait a second . i just want to make sure this is the message we 've been waiting for . neil : hey , help me wipe everything . gwen : why are you rushing around ? neil : because there can be no fingerprints left here , nothing that can be used as evidence . you hear me ? gwen : is this because i thought i heard something outside last night ? i mean , that could have been kids or a stray animal . neil : yeah , or whoever 's posing as the kidnapper . you ever think about that ? gwen : how would they even know that we have hilary here ? i mean , it 's probably like you said . it 's all a ruse . neil : okay . watch out . gwen : we 're safe here , okay ? by now , the fake kidnapper 's probably retired to a tropical island , happily spending devon 's ransom money . neil : really ? or maybe the kidnapper knows exactly where this woman is and they 're gon na celebrate their payday by notifying the police . if the police and devon -- gwen : it 's not gon na happen . it 's okay . neil : what are you doing ? what did i just tell you ? your hand . the fingerprints . wipe it off . here . oh , god . gwen : why ? you own the boathouse , neil . why clean off the fingerprints when devon 's bound to realize that -- you 're not trying to protect yourself . you 're trying to protect me , making sure every trace of me is gone . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm doing . i 'm erasing everything that ties you to this place and what happened here . gwen : but i 'm part of it . neil : no , you 're not . no . not anymore . you got to go . you can not be an accessory to this . gwen : i 'm not leaving you . i knew the consequences getting into this . and i was n't gon na let you go through it alone then , and i 'm not going to now . neil : yeah , that 's great . and i love you for that . and i 'll never forget what you 've done for me , helping me and helping to keep this person alive . gwen : then let me stay . neil : i 'm done . i 'm through . this has got to end right now . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na wait here with hilary until devon and the police show up . gwen : neil -- neil : and if anyone ever questions you , do n't you dare acknowledge that you knew what happened here . gwen : i ca n't just leave you alone . neil : and i ca n't face devon and the law showing up here -- listen , i 'm doing this for -- i want you to be free . gwen : but what about you ? neil : i started this alone , and i 'm gon na finish it alone . gwen : i do n't want to go . i 'm not going to . neil : i have to somehow make some good come out of this . hilary 's gon na wake up at some point eventually when she gets the proper medical attention . and when she does , this whole story is gon na come out . what do you think 's gon na happen to me . huh ? i 'm gon na be prosecuted . i ca n't help save myself , but , damn it , i can help save you . gwen : but i do n't want to lose you . neil : what did i tell you at the start of all this ? that we were gon na find ourselves here someday , and now we have . and the sooner you go , the better off we both are . gwen : but i do n't want to go . paul : so , this is n't about the trackers on the stolen meds . there 's something else . you two are holding out on me . devon : there is something . dylan : yes , there is . devon is worried that time is running out for hilary . i mean , can you blame him ? everything we 've done has blown up in our faces , but it 's only gon na make it worse for hilary right now if we panic or we say or do something that we 're gon na regret later . devon : and what about everything that we do n't do or say , dylan ? what if i live to regret that ? paul : you know what ? this has to stop right now . whatever it is you 're keeping from me , it want to know what it is right now . devon : cane , this is n't a good time . cane : we just got another message from the kidnapper . devon : all right . i 'll be right there . i got to . sorry . dylan : i 'm gon na go . paul : you 're not going anywhere . esther : chloe -- chloe : mom , not now . i know what i 'm doing . kevin : chloe , are you sure about that ? chloe : absolutely . i mean , why are you all so surprised to see me ? today , of all days ? i 'm here for the same reasons you all are -- to commemorate the anniversary of my daughter 's death . two years ago today , adam ran her over and left her on the side of the road . victor : kevin , why do n't you take chloe somewhere quiet ? chloe : i do n't need to be taken anywhere ... not yet . i mean , i 've come all this way . i 'm not gon na miss the most important moment . billy : chloe , what are you talking about ? chloe : oh , the moment , billy ... the moment that is bigger and better than all of the tender sentiments and the mea culpas ... the moment when justice is finally served . and i 'm here to deliver it . [ all gasp ] chelsea : chloe ! paul : why do i get the feeling things have already taken a turn for the worse ? dylan : i got to go . paul : you did n't even have to hear devon 's phone call to know what was going on . if this has anything to do with hilary 's whereabouts , i want to know now . dylan : i need you to trust me on this . paul : what about trusting me ? ! dylan : i do trust you ! i promise you this -- if and when i find out more , you 'll be the first to know . [ sighs ] neil : you 're gon na have to hurry up and get out of here before the cops show up . gwen : i 'm not going . neil : the police are gon na find this place . what 's so hard to understand about -- with or without anybody 's help .

[ chuckles ] hey , huh ? what do we got ? victor : do n't blow it . you 're out of the joint , free to roam , on my dime , and do n't you forget it . victoria : this one ? adam : that was quite a gesture . scared the hell out of me . is that your way of saying that you forgive me ? we can start over ? chelsea : what i did was for chloe 's sake , not yours . adam : well , you would n't have taken that risk if my life did n't matter to you . chelsea : of course your life matters to me , but -- adam : what about all that stuff you said about leaving the hatred behind ? what about that ? chelsea : for delia . i mean , i said that for delia . seeing chloe reminded me of how she raised delia to be loving and kind . so i do n't want to spend my life hating you , and i 'll teach connor to do the same . adam : chelsea , then there 's no reason why you and i ca n't start over . chelsea : i ca n't forgive you , adam , and i ca n't forget the things that you 've done . but [ sighs ] the truth of the matter is we ca n't make a fresh start . chloe can . adam : you think i would try to prevent that from happening ? chelsea : she does n't deserve to go to jail . adam : but i do . chelsea : if there 's any justice in the world , you will . kevin : why do n't you try and get some sleep ? chloe : 'cause i 'm too wired . kevin : you want some food ? chloe : no . the only thing i want is adam punished . kevin : well , i 'm glad chelsea stopped you . chloe : you know , part of me wishes that i had just pulled that trigger . it 's true . it 's true . i 'm sorry . i just -- i just wanted to see him , see what he looked like when that bullet hit him . kevin : you can not think like that , chloe . i want the same thing for adam , but you ca n't think that way . they 'll put you away forever . i miss her every day . chloe : i know how much you loved her . kevin : not just on her birthday or christmas or days like today , but ... [ sighs ] i 'll hear a kid laughing . i 'll see a balloon floating or a puppy playing in the park . chloe : [ sighs ] look , i need to tell you this . i wanted to do to adam what he did to my daughter . and i might have walked away had he not made that lame apology . it is just so unfair that delia is gone and adam is just still walking around . kevin : well , what if chelsea had n't stopped you ? chloe : [ sighs ] if shot him ... it would have cost me . but adam is not worth me losing the most precious thing in my life . kevin : and what 's that ? victoria : did today bring it all back ? billy : what , the rage ? no . that 's been boiling over ever since i found out that gabe bingham was actually adam newman , he 's been scamming our family this whole time . i -- [ sighs ] i wanted to kill the guy with my bare hands . victoria : i know . but you did n't . billy : no . because you were there ... reminding me that i have so much more to live for , like those two beautiful kids upstairs . and , um , thank you for that . victoria : i do n't want your gratitude . but i will take a kiss . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : you 're still upset . billy : yeah , i 'm just concerned about chloe . victoria : i know . after all that time she spent in the hospital , i thought that she would be better and that maybe she 'd have a good life somewhere . billy : even kevin does n't know where she 's living . i mean , she cut ties with everybody . victoria : she was just trying to distance herself from everything . billy : but now she does n't have anyone to keep her grounded . there 's nobody to keep her from doing anything reckless like she did today or what she wanted to do with me when ... victoria : what did she want to do with you ? billy : [ sighs ] victoria : remember , there 's no more secrets between us . billy : well , it was n't a secret . it 's just that you and i were split up at the time , so -- victoria : well , but we 're back together now , so you can tell me . billy : before she left town , she tried to convince me that we should have another baby together . esther : i am just worried sick about chloe ! if chelsea had n't stopped her , she might have shot adam . jill : [ scoffs ] not that he does n't deserve it . esther : but if she 'd gone through with it , she would have ended up in jail . lauren : and michael would have defended her and gotten her off . esther : mm . jill : look , there is not a jury on this planet that would have convicted chloe after what adam did to her and put her through . and billy -- put billy through , put me through , put delia 's whole family through . do you know my son has scars that will never go away ? [ chuckles ] and michael is defending that scum . lauren : ugh . i know . i know . but for better or worse , he believes that everyone is entitled to a vigorous defense . jill : oh , bull . lauren : you know , what i would like to know is , how on earth did adam parade as that gabriel bingham for so long ? jill : there 's your answer right there . hey , you . you knew gabriel 's true identity this whole time , did n't you ? answer me a question . how dare you protect victor 's son over your own brother ? cane : i should have gone with devon , and i should have gone with dylan . paul : gone where ? cane : [ sighs ] lily : um ... devon 's just been a wreck since we lost the trail of the stolen meds . cane : so dylan wanted to take him out so he could let some steam off . paul : so , where are they ? lily : uh , the gym . cane : bowling . paul : ah . they 're not in the gym , and i 'm not buying the bowling story , either . now , where are they ? look , i know something 's going on , something that no one wants the gcpd to know about . cane : paul . paul : i warned dylan , and now i 'm gon na warn you two . cane : paul . paul : hilary 's life depends on us working together . think about that . [ both sigh ] lily : god , please just let this be over today . cane : maybe it will be . lily : devon and dylan can not reach another dead end . they have to find hilary . abby : so , tell me , mr . brilliant chemist doctor boy , does blue agave have a medicinal benefit ? stitch : absolutely . abby : [ chuckles ] then why is n't it making me feel any better ? just thinking about holding chelsea 's precious little boy and not knowing if chloe was gon na pull the trigger ... i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] some date this turned out to be , right ? stitch : you know , then [ sighs ] we 'll have to improve it . victoria : chloe wanted you to give her a baby ? billy : uh , maybe i should have kept that secret . victoria : no , i 'm -- i 'm really glad you told me . it 's just , how much convincing did she do ? billy : [ sighs ] not enough . look , she was -- she was desperate , and she was hurting just like i was . but i knew that i could n't replace delia , and i told her that much . besides that , i ... i think there was a part of me that knew i was gon na find my way back to you . and unlike chloe , we 've got two amazing kids . victoria : you feel guilty . billy : i just feel like she 's lost . victoria : [ sighs ] you did the right thing turning her down . billy : [ chuckles ] no doubt . but maybe if she had a kid of her own that she could love that would love her back , then maybe she would n't have shown up out of nowhere waving a gun around . kevin : tell me what you meant . what 's the most important thing in your life ? chloe : [ exhales sharply ] is n't it obvious ? my freedom . you know , when i left town , i was determined to make a clean break and sever all ties . and , you know , i did it . kevin : until you found out adam was still alive . chloe : well , so much for good intentions . do n't worry . i 'm not gon na try it again . kevin : i 'm glad to hear that . so , tell me about this new life of yours . chloe : you know what ? i -- i want to talk about you . have you met someone ? kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm still married to my computer . chloe : what 's her name ? kevin : it 's complicated . chloe : who is she ? kevin : mariah . [ sighs ] she was in trouble when we met . we became friends . we tried to be more than friends . now we 're back to being friends again . what ? chloe : i mean , why ca n't you just ever do love the easy way ? kevin : and miss all the excitement ? chloe : with you , there 's always this small , little degree of difficulty . kevin : yeah , kind of like the olympics . [ chuckles ] that 's something we always had in common . chloe : you know what ? um , i 'm gon na take your advice , and i think i 'm gon na get some rest . kevin : why are you trying to get rid of me all of a sudden ? chloe : because i 'm tired . you know what ? will you do me a favor ? will you just , um , get rid of the gun , just in case i try to use it again ? kevin : yeah , i 'll drop it off at the police station . chloe : hey , kevin . thanks . [ smooches ] [ sighs ] kevin : [ sighs ] adam : probably already booked your one - way ticket to paris , huh ? chelsea : nice try , but i 'm not telling you where connor and i are moving . nobody knows . so ... this is goodbye , adam . adam : i was thinking about how ironic this is , that -- that this goodbye because this is where also where i saw you two again for the first time . remember that ? i fell in love with you all over again . chelsea : i have to go . adam : chelsea ... you know , um ... i grew up without a father . and it was n't good . it messed me up pretty bad . and my mother was terrific . like you are to connor , she was wonderful . but , you know , i always sort of held on to this hole in my heart , knowing that my father was out there somewhere and he chose not to love me . i do n't want that for him . will you remind him of that , that if it were up to me , if i had it my way , i would be in your life , i would be in his life , i would raise him every single day , i would teach him everything i know ? and just because i 'm not there does n't mean that i do n't love him and it does n't mean that i 'm not thinking of you and that i do n't love you every single day , okay ? will you please tell him that , make sure he remembers it ? chelsea : [ sighs ] victor : do you think maybe a thank - you is in order ? adam : you want me to thank you for what ? victor : for the heartwarming moment you just had with your family . who do you think made that possible ? adam : mm . victor : i twisted a certain judge 's arm and wrote a big check . now it 's time for you to fulfill your promise . adam : i see . yeah , no , because god forbid i relax for just a moment . you know , i almost died today . were you here ? did you see that ? victor : you did n't , did you ? so forget about it . adam : forget about it 'cause you said so . victor : you bet . adam : there it is . victor : that 's right . you fix the paragon problem , adam ... or else ... you 'll be put back in jail . i can see to it . remember that . adam : thank you . jack : i will chalk this up to you being out of the loop while away in hong kong , but let me set you straight -- i tried to do what was best for billy . jill : by letting the man who murdered my granddaughter walk around scot - free with a brand - new identity , huh ? lauren : why do n't we just let this all play out in court , okay ? phyllis : that works . jack : what do you think would have happened if billy knew that adam was alive ? jill : adam would be in jail . jack : so would billy . he damn near killed adam once . if he tried again and succeeded , how would you feel then ? jill : jack , my son lost his daughter -- your niece . he deserved to know that his brother had his back ! jack : i have his back . believe me . phyllis : okay . all right . jack : as if billy does n't know it . lauren : okay . all come on . okay . jack : i 'm tired of standing here trying to defend my actions . phyllis : you are meaning well -- i understand that . the more you try to keep the people you love from making mistakes , the more you resemble victor . summer : hey . how 's chloe ? kevin : i do n't know . she was ready to throw her life away today to punish adam , and then ... summer : then what ? kevin : she was talking about having something to live for ... something or someone . kyle : you 're not jealous , are you ? chloe : hi . is everything okay ? um , yeah . listen , um , i need to stick around here . do you think that you could keep her for a few more days ? great . thanks . billy : keep who ?

[ sighs ] nick : the one with you in the straitjacket ? yeah , you 've had that one a couple times . hey , what 's -- what 's wrong ? sage : i had it more than a couple times . nick : sage , why did n't you say anything ? sage : 'cause i did n't want to worry you . i - i dream about christian every night . nick : come here . adam : you hardly ate your breakfast , and you were , uh , sort of quiet . you 've been quiet all morning . chelsea : i 've just had a lot on my mind . adam : yeah ? want to talk to me about it ? chelsea : of course , i want to talk to you about it . adam : okay . chelsea : but why should i bother when i know you 're not gon na be honest with me ? and when you deny it , like you 're about to do . adam : baby , you can ask me anything . you know that . chelsea : how is victor getting you to do whatever he wants ? adam : you know , i already told you . chelsea : do not lie to me again , adam . i know he 's blackmailing you . adam : blackmailing me ? you 're making some pretty dangerous assumptions here , sweetheart . chelsea : and when you deny it , like you 're about to do right now , it only makes me more angry . and it ... it only makes me more scared . adam : okay , sweetheart . chelsea , come on . chelsea : it must be truly bad for you , adam , to not want to share it with your wife . adam : wait . hold on . just please do n't . chelsea : i am not going to beg , and i am not going to threaten you . i am just going to tell you i do n't know how much longer i can do this . i do n't know how much longer i can live with this wall between us . i hate it . do n't you hate it , too ? do n't you hate what it 's doing to us ? adam : yeah , i do hate it . i hate it just as much as you do . chelsea : okay , so then do something about it . tell me . trust me with the truth . adam : okay . yeah . no , i ... i 'll tell you everything . nick : tell me about your dream . sage : why ? nick : because i 'm here for you , sage . i do n't want you to think you have to go through this alone . sage : okay . the dream changes . you know , sometimes i 'm in his hospital room and sometimes i 'm back at fairview . the places change and the way the dream begins always changes . nick : but they all end the same ? sage : yeah . he 's either taken from me or he 's missing . nick : you know , if , uh , if this meeting today is too much , we do n't -- we do n't have to do it today . sage : no , no . i want to do it . i think this is gon na be the one thing that helps . luca : do n't worry . i 'm not messing with natalie 's valuable work . summer : then what are you doing ? luca : i just wanted to take an innocent peek , and then i stumbled across something very interesting . summer : about her security program ? luca : no , it 's something about natalie . look . your roommate has been texting this number a lot . do you recognize it ? summer : only one way to find out who it is . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hello ? luca : i 'm sorry . who is this ? billy : you called me , buddy . luca : i 'm sorry . wrong number . natalie : what was that all about ? billy : wrong number . natalie : [ sighs ] what if it was n't ? summer : that was billy . luca : billy abbott ? summer : that was his voice . luca : why would natalie be in constant contact with billy abbott ? phyllis : i spent the whole night stewing , wondering how you could divulge our secret without even considering my feelings . jack : phyllis , i -- phyllis : because if you had even for a second , you would have kept your mouth shut . jack : i was trying to help a friend , my sponsor , whose life was spinning out of control . i was n't getting through to him . he seemed to think i could n't possibly understand the pain he felt or the year that he 'd been through , and before i knew it , i was opening -- yes , i was opening up about the story of our last year . phyllis : this was personal ! jack : by telling him my story , our story , i reminded him that we can all find the strength we need to get through difficult times . can you understand that , please ? phyllis : you are my husband , and i know that you love to help people that you care about . but you have been through countless challenges . you could have chosen any number of those encouraging , inspirational tales ! jack : this was what was on my mind at the time . phyllis : you know what i think ? i think you spilling this to neil was not as unintentional as you claim . a part of you wanted this out there . you wanted to tell neil and you wanted to tell anyone who would listen to you . jack : maybe you 're right . maybe i needed to get this off my chest . and maybe you need to remember you 're not victor 's only victim ! jack : i am as angry as you are what victor inflicted upon us . phyllis : you sure as hell do n't act like it . jack : well , maybe that 's because i have some guilt and shame i have to carry around because of my own actions ! what happened to kelly , what happened to that crew . i killed people to get back here ! and every day since , i have had to keep that tormenting thought at bay before it drags me down ! i came back here to protect you , to protect my family , to look out for my company , to protect my sobriety , which i ca n't seem to do when i 'm ... phyllis : reliving it ? jack : yes . reliving it , rethinking it , over and over again . what could i have done differently ? could i have gotten out of there without hurting kelly ? could i -- could i have hidden in another ship ? could i have done something more to get back here ? phyllis : you did everything you could . that woman was out of her mind ! jack : yeah , even so , i ... phyllis : you were drugged ! you were held hostage ! you did everything you could to survive . thank god you survived . but what is so infuriating to me , what is so upsetting is that you will not stop punishing yourself for what victor forced you to do . luca : maybe natalie 's trying to deceive victor , double - cross him . summer : why do you think that ? luca : well , it seems like she 's been dragging her feet on finishing the program for him . summer : you know , victoria called me this morning and she and grandpa think that natalie 's been stalling to see if maybe she can sell the program to someone else for a higher price . luca : so what 's victor gon na do ? summer : he already did it . apparently he put the fear of god into natalie , and she 's able to kick into gear and make her glitchy program to sing and dance . luca : yeah , that sounds like confirmation of our suspicions . summer : okay , but working with billy abbott ? luca : why would that be so much of a shock ? you know it was billy abbott who initially wanted to invest in natalie 's idea . perhaps he never got over losing out to victor . summer : okay , but i thought he learned his lesson after he almost died , that he was n't gon na go after my grandpa anymore . and he 's with victoria again . if he 's gon na do this behind her back ... luca : okay , you 're getting upset , and we do n't have any facts yet , okay ? summer : okay , well , i 'm gon na get some . luca : from whom ? summer : natalie . i 'm gon na ask her to meet and see what i can get out of her . luca : all right . well , while you do that , i 'll work on billy . billy : what do you know that i do n't ? natalie : how to find the second highest number in an integer -- billy : you know what i 'm talking about , natalie . you 're reading into that phone call . why ? natalie : oh , that . i just -- billy : hey , do n't play me . i 'm not victor . why are you worried about that phone call ? natalie : i was kind of rattled when i was leaving to meet you . billy : and ? natalie : and i may have possibly forgotten to shut my computer down . billy : possibly ? that 's a sloppy mistake , natalie . natalie : everything important is encrypted , locked up tight . but i think i might have left my text app open and maybe summer got in . billy : okay , but that was n't summer on the phone . who has access to the apartment ? natalie : she has a boyfriend . billy : kyle 's my nephew . that was n't him . natalie : [ sighs ] billy : if you 're this rattled , it 's got to be somebody that can hurt us . who was it ? natalie : summer and i have a new roommate . luca santori . billy : okay . that is somebody that can hurt us . natalie : he showed up last night after he decided that he was n't gon na let victor scare him out of town . i 'm not supposed to say anything about him staying with us . but if that was him ... billy : he 's got the number to my burner and he knows that we 're in contact . this is not good . why , out of all places to hide , would luca choose you and summer to live with ? natalie : he 's been kissing up to her . billy : he 's been romancing her ? natalie : he showed up on valentine 's day with champagne . he made this big speech last night about how he wants to redeem himself , which i did n't believe for a second , but summer ate it up . billy : so now he 's either going after victor 's granddaughter or he 's trying to spy on you . natalie : we need to get him out of there , okay ? look , if luca 's linked me to you , our whole plan will be exposed . he 'll go straight to victor , and then -- [ cell phone chimes ] natalie : [ sighs ] it 's summer . she wants to meet for coffee . billy : or she wants to find out why we 've been talking . natalie : no , i 'll just ignore it . billy : no , no , no . you 're gon na go meet with summer and you 're gon na find out what she 's talking about or what she suspects . natalie : you mean i have to be sneaky . billy : yeah . you got to be sneaky . and i 'm gon na go find out what the hell luca 's up to . adam : honey , i 'm not putting you off , all right ? i just -- i do n't want to have the conversation here . it 's kind of private . we can go home and talk about it , okay ? chelsea : okay . oh . hi . guys , how are you ? sage : hey , it 's so nice to see you . adam , thanks so much again for helping out with the kids during the storm . adam : yeah , no problem . faith was pretty worked up . how 's she doing ? she all right ? nick : oh , she actually had a great night , thanks to you and sage . faith hates storms . sage : she does . and , chelsea , you should have seen your husband with the baby . connor 's so lucky to have such a wonderful dad . adam : i 'm the lucky one , actually . yeah , the two of them . listen , we 're -- we 're gon na take off . you guys , um , you guys enjoy your meal , okay ? nick : was that weird to you ? i mean , did adam seem a little off ? sage : forget about adam , nick . we have something much more important to deal with . jack : it seems like you 're starting to see where i 'm coming from . phyllis : if you 're gon na ask me to come home ... do n't . jack : i thought maybe we were making some headway here . phyllis : i 'm still angry at you . and honestly , if i came home now , i could n't promise that i -- that i would n't crack a vase over your head . i - i still need some time . jack : okay . i understand that . but while you 're taking some time ... remember who loves you . phyllis : goodbye . jack : victor was n't able to come between us before . do n't let him pull us apart now . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] phyllis : [ sighs ] summer : i 'm sorry about giving you attitude last night . when you were upset about luca moving in with us . natalie : well , that was attitude ? [ scoffs ] you were so polite about it . your attitude is my all day - every day . summer : well , i know that you 're under a lot of pressure -- natalie : no , i can try to be more understanding . summer : really ? natalie : well , luca and i are in the same boat . victor 's furious at us . he 's making threats . summer : yeah , well , he 's my grandpa and i love him . i know he can be -- natalie : mean . victor newman can be mean . but he pays well . summer : yeah , i mean , even if the money is great , you must regret getting into business with him . natalie : [ chuckles ] think you got me all figured out ? summer : no , i mean , i just know that you 've got a lot of secrets . natalie : you , too . summer : i know i 'm supposed to be your watchdog and all and you probably do n't want my advice . natalie : on how to handle your grandpa ? please . enlighten me . summer : natalie , if you think that you can work around him and try to get a better deal that 's more accommodating -- natalie : what ? who said i was doing that ? summer : it 's a really bad idea . my grandpa does not put up with people that are disloyal to him . so if you just come to me and talk to me , i could probably help you out . natalie : you got me , summer . i 'm looking to screw over victor newman . is that what you wanted to hear ? [ banging on door ] billy : door 's broken . luca : billy abbott . perfect timing . i was just about to call you . billy : you mean call me again ? because that was you earlier , right ? luca : regardless , i 'm glad that you 're here . we should get a few things out in the open first . billy : by all means , go ahead . luca : i believe you 're conspiring with natalie to swipe pass key from victor . and i want in . billy : pretty big assumptions , luca . luca : correct assumptions . billy : well , let 's say i do have a deal with natalie -- and i 'm not saying i do . why the hell would i cut you in ? luca : do n't , and my next call could be to victor , warning him you 're making a play . billy : right . so , you 're gon na go to victor , clearly defying his command to leave town , and offer him a theory that you have no proof of ? and because victor trusts you so much , he 's gon na believe everything you say . luca : you 'd risk that ? billy : i got no use for you and your pathetic , desperate threats . luca : and yet you came all the way over here to tell me that in person . billy : that 's actually a good point . i just wanted to make sure that you were still in genoa city and ... yeah , there you are . good luck . luca : or maybe you 're interested in what i could offer you , billy . something you would have great use for . nick : so , we 're moving forward , then . we are , but adoption is a complicated process . nick : sage and i are very committed to starting our family . we also really want to help a child who -- who needs a family . we understand this process is long . it is . but there 's a chance , in your case , that it might be shorter . adam : i - i do n't know where to begin . chelsea : just say it . adam , it 's better for me to know . better than us going on like this the way we have been , letting victor dictate our lives . whatever it is , i can handle it . adam : yeah . um ... it 's about , um ... christian . sage 's baby . christian . he was my son . chelsea : no , i - i mean , i think you have it wrong . sage -- sage had a paternity test . adam : i know . chelsea : it confirmed that nick was the baby 's father . and now you 're telling me that ... adam : i saw the results ... of the paternity test , and i bribed the technician to alter them . chelsea : i do n't understand . [ sighs ] i mean , why would you go to all that trouble to see if the child was yours only to then somehow -- adam : i wanted to know the truth , and then when i found out the truth , i - i realized there was too much at stake . chelsea : you did n't want to take responsibility , so -- so you let nick think that the baby was his ? adam : you know , i just figured that was what was best at the time . chelsea : best ? how can you say that ? adam : it 's what sage wanted . chelsea : sage knew ? ! adam : no , she had no idea . but she was getting along with nick so well , the two of them . and then , you know , you and i were working things out . i felt like i was getting somewhere with you . chelsea : well , i just realized who you really were . adam : and you were furious . chelsea : well , because you let me think you were dead for so long , adam . adam : and i knew at that moment if you found out that sage 's baby was mine , that i was the father , i would lose you and i would lose connor forever . chelsea : okay , do n't you dare make this about what i might have done ! this was your choice , adam ! your choice ! this was you continuing to lie to me , continuing to -- to deceive everybody that you know . and -- oh , my god . i am such an idiot . i was such a fool ! what was -- [ sighs ] adam : you 're not a fool , babe . i was a fool for not telling you . chelsea : but i saw . why did n't i realize ? you -- you were so upset after christian died . and then ... oh , my god . and then all those times i wanted to talk about having more children , you did n't want to talk about it . and then -- [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe i did n't see it . i did n't -- victor . how long has he known ? adam : he , uh , he put it together after christian 's memorial . chelsea : oh , that 's nice . adam : he knew i would n't have wanted a dna test to expose my true identity . he also knew my greatest fear was losing you , losing our son . he decided to exploit it . chelsea : we had been back together for months by then . you should have just had faith in me . instead , you handed that power over to victor . you just handed him all of that to use against you ! adam : yeah . and i wish i had n't done that , obviously . [ sighs ] i wish i had n't done that , babe . i ca n't take it back , though , all right ? what 's done is done . i can only sit here and hope that you can forgive me . ms. ladd : a birth mother saw your profile last night , and you are at the top of her list to adopt her baby . nick : [ chuckles ] that is amazing . sage : we can adopt a child that soon ? this is so wonderful . ms. ladd : it 's still tricky . she 's a teenager in her third trimester , and while this is a real possibility , i need to offer you some guidance . sage : guidance ? on how to approach her ? what do you mean , guidance ? nick : i think ms. ladd is just trying to prepare us in case it falls through . ms. ladd : even if the birth mother feels that you are the right people to raise her child , this is an extremely emotional and overwhelming decision . there 's a very real possibility this young woman might change her mind . sage : but she already likes us . ms. ladd : she likes your profile . she has n't met you yet . she could become interested in another couple or decide to keep her baby . nick : we understand . we understand . ms. ladd : having an adoption fall through can be devastating . sage : yeah , but i think it 's worth the chance , do n't you ? ms. ladd : since there are no guarantees with this young woman or any other potential birth mothers , i 'd like to suggest that you and mr. newman consider another option . nick : what 's that ? ms. ladd : think about adopting an older child from foster care . sage : no , no , we discussed it . we want a newborn . nick : uh , you know , we really appreciate your candor , ms. ladd . um , i think we should take some time to really talk about some things together . ms. ladd : sounds good . i 'll wait to hear from you . it was nice meeting you both . nick : thank you so much . sage : thank you . hey . are we not on the same page here , nick ? summer : if you 're hiding something , there 's gon na be really big trouble . natalie : speaking of really big trouble , how long are you planning to let luca stay ? summer : i do n't know . i have n't really discussed that with him yet . natalie : maybe i should be the one looking after you . why would you let that guy move in ? he 's kind of gross . summer : he 's not gross . natalie : do you care about him ? summer : no ! natalie : then why hide him from your grandpa ? it 's not exactly loyal . summer : you do not know me or what i am thinking , so do n't you dare talk to me about loyalty ! billy : what 's that supposed to be ? luca : opportunity . something i 've been putting together for a while now to use as leverage against victor . billy : and him tossing you out did n't change your mind ? luca : it may have . but i 'm more eager for the chance to work on your side of this lucrative project . if i can get that opportunity , i can ... be my own man . billy : fascinating . what 's on the disk ? luca : something that could take victor newman down for good . billy : what 's the cost , luca ? luca : cut me in . the details on here could end him , billy . billy : you 're bluffing . luca : am i ? why do n't you go ask your brother and phyllis why she hates victor so much ? or you can see for yourself . [ gasps ] that got your attention . you have questions . i have answers . do we have an understanding ? billy : hand it over . adam : while i 'm being truthful , um ... you think you could take a little more honesty ? the truth is , you and connor ... you 're all i got in the world , the only real thing in my life . and i need you , baby . i need you . and , you know , you being angry actually is a little bit of a relief . 'cause now i can actually ... i can say it . you know the truth . i 've lost two children . when we had our miscarriage , it was absolute hell on earth , and i would n't wish that on anybody . but we had each other to lean on . with christian , i ... i did n't have you . i did n't have anybody , and , uh ... i remember delivering him , and i remember , uh , holding him . [ voice breaking ] and i remember when he was -- oh , he was so brave . he was fighting for his life . and i was praying , you know , just like everybody else , praying that he would make it , and when he did n't ... when he died , a part of me died . and i did n't know what to do . i had to suffer alone . i thought about going to nick and sage and telling them . i - i looked at how much they were suffering . nick loved that kid like -- like he was his own . i did n't want to just add to it . so i suffered alone . [ sighs ] and now at least with you i can finally say it out loud . i had a son . [ sniffles ] his name was christian . he was beautiful . he was ... [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] he was perfect . [ sniffles ] he got taken away from me . [ sighs ] he died too soon . [ sniffles ] [ sniffles ] nick : look , we need to discuss everything before we rush into anything . sage : oh , suddenly we 're rushing ? nick : no , sage . but when the idea came up of us adopting , i thought we would have time to get used to the idea , you know , time to adjust . sage : oh , okay . and i 'm still dealing with the death of christian , which means i 'm incapable ? nick : no . no . of course not . it 's just ... i need to know that you 're really ready for this . sage : nick , i am stronger now . you and i are stronger going through what we did as a couple . nick : despite the nightmares ? sage : yeah , there will always be an emptiness because of christian , all right ? sharon says that will never go away . nick : it wo n't . sage : well , neither will my need to be a mom . i 'm ready , nick . i am . i 'm really ready . nick : so you think we should count on this birth mother ? sage : why not ? nick : well , if she changes her mind or -- or this falls through , it 'll be heartbreaking . sage : so what are you saying ? you think we should adopt an older child ? nick : no , i 'm just saying i know we could provide an amazing home to a kid like that . then faith will have a sibling closer to her age . and i can just tell you , when cassie came into our lives , sage , it was so rewarding . sage : nick , i - i want a newborn . i want those first moments like you had with summer and faith and noah . i want the first steps , the first smile , the first words . i want to experience that connection from the beginning . i really want that , nick . i want it . summer : hey , i thought your text was some weird auto - correction thing . what are you doing here in a suite ? mom ? phyllis : jack and i are having some problems , baby . summer : okay , well , they must be pretty bad for you to move out . mom . hey . what 's going on ? billy : jack . jack : what is that ? billy : victor hired a double to replace you , and you did n't tell me about it ? jack : how -- billy : i had to find out from luca santori ? jack : wait , how -- billy : that guy put a whole dossier together on victor and this annicelli guy . why the hell did you not have his ass thrown in jail the second that you got home ? jack : it is more complicated than you think it is . billy : more complicated than your life being stolen from you , jack ? this guy pretended to be phyllis ' husband ... jack : keep your voice down ! billy : ... my brother , kyle 's father ! he manipulated everybody you care about . how do you let him get away with that , jack ? i promise you , if he did that to the person that i love , i would not be the coward that you 're being right now ! luca : oh , good . i 'm glad to see you back at work . how about a progress report ? a real one , that is . not whatever you intend to feed victor next . natalie : i 'm not sharing anything with you . luca : oh , no , you do n't need to do that anymore , natalie . we 're partners now . natalie : [ chuckles ] you 're delusional . luca : billy and i had a discussion while you were out with summer . we reached an agreement , and i am now in on this little arrangement you both have . go ahead and call and ask him if you 'd like . natalie : why would billy do that ? luca : he was compelled . natalie : well , that 's his problem . i do n't like you , luca , and i do n't trust you , and if victor newman finds out -- luca : do n't worry about victor . he wo n't be a concern much longer . billy : there is only one acceptable course of action after what victor did to you , jack . you have to make him hurt . you make him hurt like he has never hurt before . jack : oh , i 'm sorry my reactions are n't up to your specifications . what would you rather i do ? humiliate phyllis ? bring more pain down on her ? billy : at least i think you could do -- jack : you -- you have been an inspiration , little brother , these past few months . every time i was about to lose it , every time i woke up in the middle of the night sweating , wanting to pound victor into the ground , you would do something stupid , get yourself arrested , get yourself hospitalized . well , thank you , little brother , for your object lesson in how not to get back at victor newman . billy : so what are you gon na do , huh ? you 're just gon na pretend that it did n't happen , jack ? is that what you 're gon na do ? jack : is that what you think i 'm doing ? pretending ? as if i could . i ca n't get this out of my head , billy . i am living a nightmare i ca n't wake up from . phyllis : thank you for being so concerned about my argument with jack . but it 's private . i just need a little space to work things through , okay ? summer : okay , but you are working through them , right ? phyllis : yeah . we 're doing our best . all right ? so why do n't you help me get my mind off my own issues , okay , and tell me what i can do for you . summer : [ sighs ] okay , um , i came here to tell you that i think that natalie is gon na betray grandpa . she 's working with someone against him , and i think that that person is billy . nick : [ sighs ] i do understand why it means so much to you to have a baby . sage : i did n't hear a `` but `` in there . [ chuckles ] does this mean that you want to take our chances with the birth mother ? nick : it means i will call the counselor right now , tell her we 're gon na move forward . sage : [ chuckles ] chelsea : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i - i just wish that you had let me in . adam : are we okay ? chelsea : i - i mean , i 'm gon na need some time to process all of this , come to terms with what you did , but ... of course , i still love you . i 'm not looking to -- to punish you . it 's -- it 's clear you 've punished yourself enough already . adam : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] i do n't know why i did n't just tell you . chelsea : me , either . but the bright side is , do n't you see ? now you 're free . now that you 've finally told me the truth , victor does n't have anything to hold over your head . we can really start over . that 's the bright side , right ? we can leave genoa city . we can -- we can finally go to paris or move someplace else . we can just really start over . i mean , just say the word and we 're on that plane . adam : um ... chelsea : oh , my god . even without anything holding you back , you ... you 're still not gon na leave , are you ? [ next_on ] billy : if you do n't get phyllis the payback she deserves , then i will . summer : what the hell is going on ? ! phyllis : billy is not working on this on his own . i am helping him . victor : so , how does it work ? natalie : the program ? victor : the camera you put in my office . | adam tells chelsea the truth about christian 's paternity . chelsea finds it difficult to accept until adam opens up about dealing with his son 's death alone . chelsea comforts him and talks about starting over in a new place . adam seems hesitant to leave genoa city . while natalie is gone , luca and summer discover that natalie is working with billy . summer meets natalie for coffee and warns her not to betray victor . luca tells billy he wants in on the plan to destroy victor . when billy says he is n't interested , luca presents video proof of what victor did to jack and phyllis . jack brings flowers to phyllis , who stayed the night at gcac . she says that is n't enough and throws the flowers away . she needs time . jack agrees to give her time as long as she does n't forget who loves her . summer visits phyllis and is concerned about her mom 's problems with jack . phyllis assures summer that they 're working on it . summer tells phyllis that she believes natalie is working with billy . billy confronts jack about victor hiring marco to take over jack 's life . he calls jack a coward for not making victor pay . jack explains that he let it go so as not to embarrass phyllis . nick and sage meet with a lady from an adoption agency who persuades them to think about adopting an older child . nick is on board with this but sage insists she wants a newborn so she can experience all the firsts ( first steps , first words , etc . ) . | <s>[INST] jack : i missed you at home last night . phyllis : yeah , it was weird for me , too . being here alone . i needed the time . jack : you gon na need much more time ? phyllis : you hurt me . jack : i know that . and you know i 'm sorry . i was just hoping that ... phyllis : that i 'm over it by now ? jack : that maybe we could talk about it . phyllis : go ahead . talk . jack : i apologize . i apologize for breaking your confidence , for telling neil your story . phyllis : and nikki . jack : and inadvertently nikki , yes . phyllis : what right did you have to tell anyone anything about what victor and marco did to me ? jack : to us . to us . we 're an `` us . `` then , now ... always . phyllis : it 's not enough , jack . summer : what are you doing on natalie 's computer ? billy : i ca n't believe the bells and whistles that you 've added to this program . natalie : sometimes i amaze myself . billy : i 'm sure you do . and i 'm sure victor 's gon na be counting the minutes until he can launch his game - changing security program . natalie : this is n't the version victor saw . billy : i figured that much . what did you tell him ? natalie : nothing . he has n't bothered me . billy : he 's going to . natalie : here . do n't leave this laying around , okay ? it 's encrypted 10 ways to sunday , but let 's not take any chances . billy : what are you gon na be doing ? natalie : making more improvements , trying to hold victor off a little longer . billy : right . you 're keeping a lot of people happy , natalie . natalie : i 've made my choice , billy . my deal 's with you and phyllis , okay ? i 'm not gon na let that fall apart . [ baby crying ] sage : christian ? w - where are you ? christian ? i 'm coming ! mommy 's coming ! [ grunts ] christian ! where 's my baby ? ! [ gasps ] [ breathing heavily ] nick : hey , hey , hey . hey , you 're okay . you 're okay . sage : oh , god . nick : you 're okay . sage : [ sighs ] i was so scared . nick : yeah , i know . i know . you were screaming and yelling for help . sage : [ sighs ] i had that nightmare about christian . [ sighs ] nick : the one with you in the straitjacket ? yeah , you 've had that one a couple times . hey , what 's -- what 's wrong ? sage : i had it more than a couple times . nick : sage , why did n't you say anything ? sage : 'cause i did n't want to worry you . i - i dream about christian every night . nick : come here . adam : you hardly ate your breakfast , and you were , uh , sort of quiet . you 've been quiet all morning . chelsea : i 've just had a lot on my mind . adam : yeah ? want to talk to me about it ? chelsea : of course , i want to talk to you about it . adam : okay . chelsea : but why should i bother when i know you 're not gon na be honest with me ? and when you deny it , like you 're about to do . adam : baby , you can ask me anything . you know that . chelsea : how is victor getting you to do whatever he wants ? adam : you know , i already told you . chelsea : do not lie to me again , adam . i know he 's blackmailing you . adam : blackmailing me ? you 're making some pretty dangerous assumptions here , sweetheart . chelsea : and when you deny it , like you 're about to do right now , it only makes me more angry . and it ... it only makes me more scared . adam : okay , sweetheart . chelsea , come on . chelsea : it must be truly bad for you , adam , to not want to share it with your wife . adam : wait . hold on . just please do n't . chelsea : i am not going to beg , and i am not going to threaten you . i am just going to tell you i do n't know how much longer i can do this . i do n't know how much longer i can live with this wall between us . i hate it . do n't you hate it , too ? do n't you hate what it 's doing to us ? adam : yeah , i do hate it . i hate it just as much as you do . chelsea : okay , so then do something about it . tell me . trust me with the truth . adam : okay . yeah . no , i ... i 'll tell you everything . nick : tell me about your dream . sage : why ? nick : because i 'm here for you , sage . i do n't want you to think you have to go through this alone . sage : okay . the dream changes . you know , sometimes i 'm in his hospital room and sometimes i 'm back at fairview . the places change and the way the dream begins always changes . nick : but they all end the same ? sage : yeah . he 's either taken from me or he 's missing . nick : you know , if , uh , if this meeting today is too much , we do n't -- we do n't have to do it today . sage : no , no . i want to do it . i think this is gon na be the one thing that helps . luca : do n't worry . i 'm not messing with natalie 's valuable work . summer : then what are you doing ? luca : i just wanted to take an innocent peek , and then i stumbled across something very interesting . summer : about her security program ? luca : no , it 's something about natalie . look . your roommate has been texting this number a lot . do you recognize it ? summer : only one way to find out who it is . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hello ? luca : i 'm sorry . who is this ? billy : you called me , buddy . luca : i 'm sorry . wrong number . natalie : what was that all about ? billy : wrong number . natalie : [ sighs ] what if it was n't ? summer : that was billy . luca : billy abbott ? summer : that was his voice . luca : why would natalie be in constant contact with billy abbott ? phyllis : i spent the whole night stewing , wondering how you could divulge our secret without even considering my feelings . jack : phyllis , i -- phyllis : because if you had even for a second , you would have kept your mouth shut . jack : i was trying to help a friend , my sponsor , whose life was spinning out of control . i was n't getting through to him . he seemed to think i could n't possibly understand the pain he felt or the year that he 'd been through , and before i knew it , i was opening -- yes , i was opening up about the story of our last year . phyllis : this was personal ! jack : by telling him my story , our story , i reminded him that we can all find the strength we need to get through difficult times . can you understand that , please ? phyllis : you are my husband , and i know that you love to help people that you care about . but you have been through countless challenges . you could have chosen any number of those encouraging , inspirational tales ! jack : this was what was on my mind at the time . phyllis : you know what i think ? i think you spilling this to neil was not as unintentional as you claim . a part of you wanted this out there . you wanted to tell neil and you wanted to tell anyone who would listen to you . jack : maybe you 're right . maybe i needed to get this off my chest . and maybe you need to remember you 're not victor 's only victim ! jack : i am as angry as you are what victor inflicted upon us . phyllis : you sure as hell do n't act like it . jack : well , maybe that 's because i have some guilt and shame i have to carry around because of my own actions ! what happened to kelly , what happened to that crew . i killed people to get back here ! and every day since , i have had to keep that tormenting thought at bay before it drags me down ! i came back here to protect you , to protect my family , to look out for my company , to protect my sobriety , which i ca n't seem to do when i 'm ... phyllis : reliving it ? jack : yes . reliving it , rethinking it , over and over again . what could i have done differently ? could i have gotten out of there without hurting kelly ? could i -- could i have hidden in another ship ? could i have done something more to get back here ? phyllis : you did everything you could . that woman was out of her mind ! jack : yeah , even so , i ... phyllis : you were drugged ! you were held hostage ! you did everything you could to survive . thank god you survived . but what is so infuriating to me , what is so upsetting is that you will not stop punishing yourself for what victor forced you to do . luca : maybe natalie 's trying to deceive victor , double - cross him . summer : why do you think that ? luca : well , it seems like she 's been dragging her feet on finishing the program for him . summer : you know , victoria called me this morning and she and grandpa think that natalie 's been stalling to see if maybe she can sell the program to someone else for a higher price . luca : so what 's victor gon na do ? summer : he already did it . apparently he put the fear of god into natalie , and she 's able to kick into gear and make her glitchy program to sing and dance . luca : yeah , that sounds like confirmation of our suspicions . summer : okay , but working with billy abbott ? luca : why would that be so much of a shock ? you know it was billy abbott who initially wanted to invest in natalie 's idea . perhaps he never got over losing out to victor . summer : okay , but i thought he learned his lesson after he almost died , that he was n't gon na go after my grandpa anymore . and he 's with victoria again . if he 's gon na do this behind her back ... luca : okay , you 're getting upset , and we do n't have any facts yet , okay ? summer : okay , well , i 'm gon na get some . luca : from whom ? summer : natalie . i 'm gon na ask her to meet and see what i can get out of her . luca : all right . well , while you do that , i 'll work on billy . billy : what do you know that i do n't ? natalie : how to find the second highest number in an integer -- billy : you know what i 'm talking about , natalie . you 're reading into that phone call . why ? natalie : oh , that . i just -- billy : hey , do n't play me . i 'm not victor . why are you worried about that phone call ? natalie : i was kind of rattled when i was leaving to meet you . billy : and ? natalie : and i may have possibly forgotten to shut my computer down . billy : possibly ? that 's a sloppy mistake , natalie . natalie : everything important is encrypted , locked up tight . but i think i might have left my text app open and maybe summer got in . billy : okay , but that was n't summer on the phone . who has access to the apartment ? natalie : she has a boyfriend . billy : kyle 's my nephew . that was n't him . natalie : [ sighs ] billy : if you 're this rattled , it 's got to be somebody that can hurt us . who was it ? natalie : summer and i have a new roommate . luca santori . billy : okay . that is somebody that can hurt us . natalie : he showed up last night after he decided that he was n't gon na let victor scare him out of town . i 'm not supposed to say anything about him staying with us . but if that was him ... billy : he 's got the number to my burner and he knows that we 're in contact . this is not good . why , out of all places to hide , would luca choose you and summer to live with ? natalie : he 's been kissing up to her . billy : he 's been romancing her ? natalie : he showed up on valentine 's day with champagne . he made this big speech last night about how he wants to redeem himself , which i did n't believe for a second , but summer ate it up . billy : so now he 's either going after victor 's granddaughter or he 's trying to spy on you . natalie : we need to get him out of there , okay ? look , if luca 's linked me to you , our whole plan will be exposed . he 'll go straight to victor , and then -- [ cell phone chimes ] natalie : [ sighs ] it 's summer . she wants to meet for coffee . billy : or she wants to find out why we 've been talking . natalie : no , i 'll just ignore it . billy : no , no , no . you 're gon na go meet with summer and you 're gon na find out what she 's talking about or what she suspects . natalie : you mean i have to be sneaky . billy : yeah . you got to be sneaky . and i 'm gon na go find out what the hell luca 's up to . adam : honey , i 'm not putting you off , all right ? i just -- i do n't want to have the conversation here . it 's kind of private . we can go home and talk about it , okay ? chelsea : okay . oh . hi . guys , how are you ? sage : hey , it 's so nice to see you . adam , thanks so much again for helping out with the kids during the storm . adam : yeah , no problem . faith was pretty worked up . how 's she doing ? she all right ? nick : oh , she actually had a great night , thanks to you and sage . faith hates storms . sage : she does . and , chelsea , you should have seen your husband with the baby . connor 's so lucky to have such a wonderful dad . adam : i 'm the lucky one , actually . yeah , the two of them . listen , we 're -- we 're gon na take off . you guys , um , you guys enjoy your meal , okay ? nick : was that weird to you ? i mean , did adam seem a little off ? sage : forget about adam , nick . we have something much more important to deal with . jack : it seems like you 're starting to see where i 'm coming from . phyllis : if you 're gon na ask me to come home ... do n't . jack : i thought maybe we were making some headway here . phyllis : i 'm still angry at you . and honestly , if i came home now , i could n't promise that i -- that i would n't crack a vase over your head . i - i still need some time . jack : okay . i understand that . but while you 're taking some time ... remember who loves you . phyllis : goodbye . jack : victor was n't able to come between us before . do n't let him pull us apart now . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] phyllis : [ sighs ] summer : i 'm sorry about giving you attitude last night . when you were upset about luca moving in with us . natalie : well , that was attitude ? [ scoffs ] you were so polite about it . your attitude is my all day - every day . summer : well , i know that you 're under a lot of pressure -- natalie : no , i can try to be more understanding . summer : really ? natalie : well , luca and i are in the same boat . victor 's furious at us . he 's making threats . summer : yeah , well , he 's my grandpa and i love him . i know he can be -- natalie : mean . victor newman can be mean . but he pays well . summer : yeah , i mean , even if the money is great , you must regret getting into business with him . natalie : [ chuckles ] think you got me all figured out ? summer : no , i mean , i just know that you 've got a lot of secrets . natalie : you , too . summer : i know i 'm supposed to be your watchdog and all and you probably do n't want my advice . natalie : on how to handle your grandpa ? please . enlighten me . summer : natalie , if you think that you can work around him and try to get a better deal that 's more accommodating -- natalie : what ? who said i was doing that ? summer : it 's a really bad idea . my grandpa does not put up with people that are disloyal to him . so if you just come to me and talk to me , i could probably help you out . natalie : you got me , summer . i 'm looking to screw over victor newman . is that what you wanted to hear ? [ banging on door ] billy : door 's broken . luca : billy abbott . perfect timing . i was just about to call you . billy : you mean call me again ? because that was you earlier , right ? luca : regardless , i 'm glad that you 're here . we should get a few things out in the open first . billy : by all means , go ahead . luca : i believe you 're conspiring with natalie to swipe pass key from victor . and i want in . billy : pretty big assumptions , luca . luca : correct assumptions . billy : well , let 's say i do have a deal with natalie -- and i 'm not saying i do . why the hell would i cut you in ? luca : do n't , and my next call could be to victor , warning him you 're making a play . billy : right . so , you 're gon na go to victor , clearly defying his command to leave town , and offer him a theory that you have no proof of ? and because victor trusts you so much , he 's gon na believe everything you say . luca : you 'd risk that ? billy : i got no use for you and your pathetic , desperate threats . luca : and yet you came all the way over here to tell me that in person . billy : that 's actually a good point . i just wanted to make sure that you were still in genoa city and ... yeah , there you are . good luck . luca : or maybe you 're interested in what i could offer you , billy . something you would have great use for . nick : so , we 're moving forward , then . we are , but adoption is a complicated process . nick : sage and i are very committed to starting our family . we also really want to help a child who -- who needs a family . we understand this process is long . it is . but there 's a chance , in your case , that it might be shorter . adam : i - i do n't know where to begin . chelsea : just say it . adam , it 's better for me to know . better than us going on like this the way we have been , letting victor dictate our lives . whatever it is , i can handle it . adam : yeah . um ... it 's about , um ... christian . sage 's baby . christian . he was my son . chelsea : no , i - i mean , i think you have it wrong . sage -- sage had a paternity test . adam : i know . chelsea : it confirmed that nick was the baby 's father . and now you 're telling me that ... adam : i saw the results ... of the paternity test , and i bribed the technician to alter them . chelsea : i do n't understand . [ sighs ] i mean , why would you go to all that trouble to see if the child was yours only to then somehow -- adam : i wanted to know the truth , and then when i found out the truth , i - i realized there was too much at stake . chelsea : you did n't want to take responsibility , so -- so you let nick think that the baby was his ? adam : you know , i just figured that was what was best at the time . chelsea : best ? how can you say that ? adam : it 's what sage wanted . chelsea : sage knew ? ! adam : no , she had no idea . but she was getting along with nick so well , the two of them . and then , you know , you and i were working things out . i felt like i was getting somewhere with you . chelsea : well , i just realized who you really were . adam : and you were furious . chelsea : well , because you let me think you were dead for so long , adam . adam : and i knew at that moment if you found out that sage 's baby was mine , that i was the father , i would lose you and i would lose connor forever . chelsea : okay , do n't you dare make this about what i might have done ! this was your choice , adam ! your choice ! this was you continuing to lie to me , continuing to -- to deceive everybody that you know . and -- oh , my god . i am such an idiot . i was such a fool ! what was -- [ sighs ] adam : you 're not a fool , babe . i was a fool for not telling you . chelsea : but i saw . why did n't i realize ? you -- you were so upset after christian died . and then ... oh , my god . and then all those times i wanted to talk about having more children , you did n't want to talk about it . and then -- [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe i did n't see it . i did n't -- victor . how long has he known ? adam : he , uh , he put it together after christian 's memorial . chelsea : oh , that 's nice . adam : he knew i would n't have wanted a dna test to expose my true identity . he also knew my greatest fear was losing you , losing our son . he decided to exploit it . chelsea : we had been back together for months by then . you should have just had faith in me . instead , you handed that power over to victor . you just handed him all of that to use against you ! adam : yeah . and i wish i had n't done that , obviously . [ sighs ] i wish i had n't done that , babe . i ca n't take it back , though , all right ? what 's done is done . i can only sit here and hope that you can forgive me . ms. ladd : a birth mother saw your profile last night , and you are at the top of her list to adopt her baby . nick : [ chuckles ] that is amazing . sage : we can adopt a child that soon ? this is so wonderful . ms. ladd : it 's still tricky . she 's a teenager in her third trimester , and while this is a real possibility , i need to offer you some guidance . sage : guidance ? on how to approach her ? what do you mean , guidance ? nick : i think ms. ladd is just trying to prepare us in case it falls through . ms. ladd : even if the birth mother feels that you are the right people to raise her child , this is an extremely emotional and overwhelming decision . there 's a very real possibility this young woman might change her mind . sage : but she already likes us . ms. ladd : she likes your profile . she has n't met you yet . she could become interested in another couple or decide to keep her baby . nick : we understand . we understand . ms. ladd : having an adoption fall through can be devastating . sage : yeah , but i think it 's worth the chance , do n't you ? ms. ladd : since there are no guarantees with this young woman or any other potential birth mothers , i 'd like to suggest that you and mr. newman consider another option . nick : what 's that ? ms. ladd : think about adopting an older child from foster care . sage : no , no , we discussed it . we want a newborn . nick : uh , you know , we really appreciate your candor , ms. ladd . um , i think we should take some time to really talk about some things together . ms. ladd : sounds good . i 'll wait to hear from you . it was nice meeting you both . nick : thank you so much . sage : thank you . hey . are we not on the same page here , nick ? summer : if you 're hiding something , there 's gon na be really big trouble . natalie : speaking of really big trouble , how long are you planning to let luca stay ? summer : i do n't know . i have n't really discussed that with him yet . natalie : maybe i should be the one looking after you . why would you let that guy move in ? he 's kind of gross . summer : he 's not gross . natalie : do you care about him ? summer : no ! natalie : then why hide him from your grandpa ? it 's not exactly loyal . summer : you do not know me or what i am thinking , so do n't you dare talk to me about loyalty ! billy : what 's that supposed to be ? luca : opportunity . something i 've been putting together for a while now to use as leverage against victor . billy : and him tossing you out did n't change your mind ? luca : it may have . but i 'm more eager for the chance to work on your side of this lucrative project . if i can get that opportunity , i can ... be my own man . billy : fascinating . what 's on the disk ? luca : something that could take victor newman down for good . billy : what 's the cost , luca ? luca : cut me in . the details on here could end him , billy . billy : you 're bluffing . luca : am i ? why do n't you go ask your brother and phyllis why she hates victor so much ? or you can see for yourself . [ gasps ] that got your attention . you have questions . i have answers . do we have an understanding ? billy : hand it over . adam : while i 'm being truthful , um ... you think you could take a little more honesty ? the truth is , you and connor ... you 're all i got in the world , the only real thing in my life . and i need you , baby . i need you . and , you know , you being angry actually is a little bit of a relief . 'cause now i can actually ... i can say it . you know the truth . i 've lost two children . when we had our miscarriage , it was absolute hell on earth , and i would n't wish that on anybody . but we had each other to lean on . with christian , i ... i did n't have you . i did n't have anybody , and , uh ... i remember delivering him , and i remember , uh , holding him . [ voice breaking ] and i remember when he was -- oh , he was so brave . he was fighting for his life . and i was praying , you know , just like everybody else , praying that he would make it , and when he did n't ... when he died , a part of me died . and i did n't know what to do . i had to suffer alone . i thought about going to nick and sage and telling them . i - i looked at how much they were suffering . nick loved that kid like -- like he was his own . i did n't want to just add to it . so i suffered alone . [ sighs ] and now at least with you i can finally say it out loud . i had a son . [ sniffles ] his name was christian . he was beautiful . he was ... [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] he was perfect . [ sniffles ] he got taken away from me . [ sighs ] he died too soon . [ sniffles ] [ sniffles ] nick : look , we need to discuss everything before we rush into anything . sage : oh , suddenly we 're rushing ? nick : no , sage . but when the idea came up of us adopting , i thought we would have time to get used to the idea , you know , time to adjust . sage : oh , okay . and i 'm still dealing with the death of christian , which means i 'm incapable ? nick : no . no . of course not . it 's just ... i need to know that you 're really ready for this . sage : nick , i am stronger now . you and i are stronger going through what we did as a couple . nick : despite the nightmares ? sage : yeah , there will always be an emptiness because of christian , all right ? sharon says that will never go away . nick : it wo n't . sage : well , neither will my need to be a mom . i 'm ready , nick . i am . i 'm really ready . nick : so you think we should count on this birth mother ? sage : why not ? nick : well , if she changes her mind or -- or this falls through , it 'll be heartbreaking . sage : so what are you saying ? you think we should adopt an older child ? nick : no , i 'm just saying i know we could provide an amazing home to a kid like that . then faith will have a sibling closer to her age . and i can just tell you , when cassie came into our lives , sage , it was so rewarding . sage : nick , i - i want a newborn . i want those first moments like you had with summer and faith and noah . i want the first steps , the first smile , the first words . i want to experience that connection from the beginning . i really want that , nick . i want it . summer : hey , i thought your text was some weird auto - correction thing . what are you doing here in a suite ? mom ? phyllis : jack and i are having some problems , baby . summer : okay , well , they must be pretty bad for you to move out . mom . hey . what 's going on ? billy : jack . jack : what is that ? billy : victor hired a double to replace you , and you did n't tell me about it ? jack : how -- billy : i had to find out from luca santori ? jack : wait , how -- billy : that guy put a whole dossier together on victor and this annicelli guy . why the hell did you not have his ass thrown in jail the second that you got home ? jack : it is more complicated than you think it is . billy : more complicated than your life being stolen from you , jack ? this guy pretended to be phyllis ' husband ... jack : keep your voice down ! billy : ... my brother , kyle 's father ! he manipulated everybody you care about . how do you let him get away with that , jack ?

[ next_on ] billy : if you do n't get phyllis the payback she deserves , then i will . summer : what the hell is going on ? ! phyllis : billy is not working on this on his own . i am helping him . victor : so , how does it work ? natalie : the program ? victor : the camera you put in my office .Summarize.[/INST]adam tells chelsea the truth about christian 's paternity . chelsea finds it difficult to accept until adam opens up about dealing with his son 's death alone . chelsea comforts him and talks about starting over in a new place . adam seems hesitant to leave genoa city . while natalie is gone , luca and summer discover that natalie is working with billy . summer meets natalie for coffee and warns her not to betray victor . luca tells billy he wants in on the plan to destroy victor . when billy says he is n't interested , luca presents video proof of what victor did to jack and phyllis . jack brings flowers to phyllis , who stayed the night at gcac . she says that is n't enough and throws the flowers away . she needs time . jack agrees to give her time as long as she does n't forget who loves her . summer visits phyllis and is concerned about her mom 's problems with jack . phyllis assures summer that they 're working on it . summer tells phyllis that she believes natalie is working with billy . billy confronts jack about victor hiring marco to take over jack 's life . he calls jack a coward for not making victor pay . jack explains that he let it go so as not to embarrass phyllis . nick and sage meet with a lady from an adoption agency who persuades them to think about adopting an older child . nick is on board with this but sage insists she wants a newborn so she can experience all the firsts ( first steps , first words , etc . ) .</s> | 16,509 |
michael : you 're moving to oregon ? kevin : portland . it 's a nice city . esther : and you 're gon na just pack up bella and head off on your merry way ? kevin : i 'm sorry for just dropping this on you guys , but it 's what i have to do . i need a new start . michael : then do it here . you have before . kevin : i need something new . i 'm sorry . it 's my life , my choice . esther : and this is the way to do it -- moving 2,000 miles away ? michael : look , you make all these plans to go to tahiti , and then , out of nowhere , you change your mind , head west , do n't tell anyone what you 're up to . and now you want to turn your whole life upside down ? kevin : i know this is a surprise . michael : it 's not a surprise . it 's nonsensical . what 's really going on , kevin ? sharon : care to tell me what 's going on in that mind of yours ? mariah : sorry . what ? sharon : is it the usual brownie - versus - scone debate ? mariah : do you think you ever get over the love of your life ? sharon : wow . i was way off base . mariah : do you ? sharon : the short answer ? yes . mariah : and the long one ? sharon : you know , i always believed that nick was the love of my life , and then , when our marriage ended , i realized that ... he was a love of my life . a person can have more than one great love . and i 've been lucky to have a few , like what i had with dylan . mariah : or what you might have with scott ? sharon : mm , it 's way too soon . do n't go there . mariah : right . i guess it 's hard to get over the past and move on . sharon : whose love life are we talking about here -- yours or mine ? are things not going that well with devon ? abby : okay . i think you need to push it a little bit more that way . perfect . love it . thank you . hey . i think we 're in decent shape -- just a few last- minute details . scott : there always are . abby : there is the florist , the caterer , who is driving me crazy about the champagne choice , and lighting design . pick your poison . scott : why do n't you choose ? i 'll just take whatever 's left . whatever you want me to do , i 'll do . abby : wait . since when are you so mellow and team - spirited ? scott : since there 's only one more day left of this and we can get back to our real jobs . you know , i do n't know who 's gon na be happier about seeing this concert finally happen -- victor or me . victor : [ exhales sharply ] nikki : `` victor , i 'll be back in a few days . need to clear my head . nikki . `` nick : [ sighs ] tessa , you are my mother 's assistant . you really have n't heard from her ? you do n't have any messages , anything ? tessa : no . i 'm starting to worry she 's not gon na show up for the concert tomorrow . nick : i do n't think she 's gon na show up 'cause she does n't want to do it . tessa : or ca n't . nick : `` ca n't `` ? what do you mean by that ? nikki : hello ? ! is anyone home ? ! sharon : are you worried that devon is still in love with hilary ? mariah : no . i - i did n't say that . i just -- oh , hey ! look who 's here ! hi , chelsea ! chelsea : hi ! i 'm not interrupting anything , am i ? mariah : no . you know , actually , i was gon na make a phone call , so , uh , i will let you two talk . chelsea : bye . mariah : bye . chelsea : it 's good to see you . did you have fun at the club ? that was a really fun fourth of july party , was n't it ? sharon : yeah ! i really enjoyed myself , too , in spite of nick and scott butting heads . chelsea : yeah . that was a lot of ... male ego going on . hopefully they got it out of their system . sharon : well , what can i get you to drink ? it 's on the house . chelsea : oh , that 's really sweet , but , actually ... i 'm looking for more than a latte . sharon : oh ? chelsea : i have a proposition for you . abby : now , this should be everything you need to deal with the caterer . scott : what 's your preference ? abby : oh , great . the bubbly ? anything french , from the champagne region , i 'll be good with -- superexpensive . scott : got it . abby : i know that event planning is n't really your thing , but i kind of love it -- all the logistics involved to make a magical evening . it 's kind of a neat challenge , and i feel like i 'm good at it . scott : well , then , i 'll gladly cede control over to you for all future occasions that involve overpriced booze and a fancy dress . abby : all right . dad , hi ! victor : well , hi , sweetheart . scott : victor . victor : so , scott ... everything set for tomorrow night ? abby : yes . we 're just divvying up the few last - minute details . victor : look at this . i had a feeling the two of you would work well together . abby : uh , well , nikki 's piano was just delivered . when is she gon na come by and test it out ? victor : i doubt she will . abby : really ? i thought she 'd want to get a feel for the lighting design , the stage , all that stuff . victor : normally , performers would like to do that , you know , but nikki does things her own way . scott : whatever works . i 'm impressed she 's doing it at all . i mean , getting out there in front of all those people -- i could n't . abby : really ? you 're an investigative journalist , but getting on stage and playing a little tune is too much for you ? scott : it 's a different kind of pressure , especially if you 've never done it before . if it were up to me , i 'd be running for the hills . nick : tessa , i need to know . is there some reason why my mother would n't be able to perform ? tessa : i do n't know why i said that . i should go . nick : just hold on . hold on . look , i know we are both concerned about the amount of stress my mother 's under right now . but if there 's something more , something worse , as to why she ca n't do this , then i need to know . tessa , whatever it is , my mother should n't be facing it alone . you know that . so , please , i 'm begging you . tessa : nikki was in a lot of pain before she left . nick : what kind of pain ? is -- is it her m.s . ? tessa : she had a flare - up . the doctor came and gave her some medicine , but before i knew it , she left . nick : and you have no idea where ? tessa : i do n't . and that 's the truth . nick : okay . thanks . tessa : please do n't tell victor . nikki did not want him to know . she made me swear , nick . nick : when i see my mom , i 'm gon na have to get into this with her . i 'm not gon na tell my dad anything , except that there is not gon na be any concert . kevin : look , i know it 's a lot to take in , but there 's no cause for alarm . michael : are you kidding ? there 's plenty of cause . esther : this is such a rash decision . you do n't even know anyone in portland , do you ? kevin : no . that 's the point -- a new place , make a new start , meet new people , make new friends . esther : the best thing for you to do is just to stay here and get your life back to normal . kevin : esther , nothing about this situation is normal . michael : starting with you bailing on tahiti . how does that even happen ? kevin : well , i was at the airport , waiting to check in , and , uh -- and it hit me . how can i -- how can i go to the place where chloe and i were supposed to honeymoon ? i just could n't do it . so i went up to the counter , and i asked the ticket agent if i could exchange my ticket . the next flight was to portland , so i grabbed a seat . spent the next few days wandering around the city , and a sense of calm came over me . it 's hard to put into words , but you know when , like -- you know when you 're holding your breath and then you finally take a breath again ? it was like that . esther : you know , i know that these past few weeks have been really difficult , but moving all that way and uprooting that precious little girl ... kevin : kids are resilient . this is gon na be good for both of us . michael : listen ... you 're a single parent , on your own . you need family . kevin : i love you all . mike , you know that . there 's just too many bad memories here . even here -- here , the place where chloe and i did n't get married , the last place i saw her alive . there 's -- there 's just so much pain . i ca n't do it anymore . esther : kevin , i hate the thought of never seeing you , and bella is my only grandchild . she needs us , too . kevin : she needs her father more . and i ca n't be a good parent if my head is n't on straight . please tell me you understand and that you 're gon na let me do this and not make this any harder than it already is . chelsea : i know you originally stopped working for me at chelsea 2.0 because you needed to run this place , but it looks like it 's a well - oiled machine now , so ... sharon : well , i 've had really good luck with assistant managers lately . chelsea : well , i 'm delighted to hear that , because ... i want you back . part- time , full - time , basically all the extra hours you have to spare , so , um ... do you have any interest ? please say yes . sharon : that is the last thing that i expected to hear today . chelsea : well , you know , i miss having you around the studio -- a lot . it 's nice having someone that you can count on . you know what i mean ? so ... what do you say ? will you help me ? esther : i know that it is not my place to tell you what 's best for you and your child , but do you really think that this is gon na give you the peace of mind that you 're looking for ? kevin : i know it will . this is n't some crazy impulse . i 've been thinking about this for weeks . esther : okay . well , bella should be waking up from her nap soon , so maybe i should just -- kevin : oh , no need ! bella , come here ! hi , sweet girl ! oh , gosh . daddy missed you so much . hi . [ smooching ] michael : you know what ? why do n't we take bella to the park ? you 'd like that , bella , would n't you ? i know i would . scott : victor , here are the latest figures . the tech crew will be coming through in a little bit to set up the sound and lighting boards . everything 's right on schedule . nick , hey . we 're almost finished . nick : yeah . i need to talk to my dad -- alone . scott : he 's all yours . victor : all right , scott . scott : yeah . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? you 've shown zero interest in helping to prepare for your mother 's concert . nick : we both know mom 's out of town . she has no interest in showing up to this concert of yours . victor : if she had had no interest , she would have let me know . nick : she had to get away from you because of all the stress you 're putting on her . she 's not gon na put herself on display just so you can play the noble benefactor . victor : you know why i 'm putting this on ? to show the world how much i admire your mother 's determination to overcome her m.s . and give this performance . but you would n't know about that because you have nothing but contempt for your father . nick : yeah , well , you 're gon na change your tune tomorrow night . you 're gon na have a pavilion full of people , and mom 's not gon na be able to perform because you made her life so intolerable . nikki : oh , my goodness . hi , you two ! nick : hey , mom . nick : oh . there is so much going on back here . abby : i can not wait for you to see the setup on stage . it 's uberdramatic . nikki : oh . well , i have to confess , i did take a little peek at the front of the house on my way back here . it 's so beautiful . and i 'm so appreciative of all the hard work you 've put in , especially you , victor . thank you again for arranging this event . i just ca n't wait till tomorrow . victor : glad to hear that . [ indistinct conversation ] nikki : ohh . nikki : i ca n't remember the last time i was so excited . victor : i 'm glad to hear that . abby : would you like to the piano a trial run -- get a feel for the stage ? scott : 9-foot concert grand , freshly tuned . nikki : i know . i am familiar with that piano . it is beautiful -- beautiful tone -- but i think i would rather go home by myself in my own living room and practice . that 's where i was headed now . i just decided to come and say hello . victor : all right . i 'll see you at home ? nikki : okay . victor : okay . abby : bye . nikki : bye . scott : bye - bye . victor : son , if you do n't mind , i 'd like to finish our conversation . scott : you know what ? i had a couple questions about how the piano 's being mic 'd . do you mind ? abby : yeah . let 's go and check it out . scott : sure . victor : you saw how good your mother looks . she 's ready and prepared for tomorrow night 's concert , proving once again that you 're presumptuous when you assume that you know your mother better than i do . [ cell phone chimes ] sharon : chelsea , i am so flattered , but i 'm gon na have to say no . between crimson lights , my university courses , volunteering at the crisis hot line , raising my daughter , and trying to save a sliver of time for scott , i just ca n't . i wish i could . i mean , it 's a really wonderful offer . chelsea : i 'm disappointed , but i understand . i 'm actually in the same boat . sharon : thank you for being so gracious . chelsea : i just really want to take my brand to the next level , you know ? and i need the right people to do that . [ sighs ] i just do n't know who to turn to for help . sharon : everything 's gon na be okay . you 've been so strong and you have accomplished so much . nothing is gon na stop you from getting what you want . bella : look at all the flowers . kevin : i know . you see ? look . see over there ? all the pink ones -- why do n't you go check those out ? but stay where i can see you , all right ? michael : now that we 're alone ... the truth . the day you left , you were a mess . now suddenly you 're back here , all full of this crazy energy , ready to take bella and go off and start some new life somewhere else . kevin : what 's wrong with that ? michael : nothing . i get exactly what you 're doing . but it takes time . you do n't get there overnight . kevin : it was n't overnight . it was several nights of some serious soul searching . michael : kevin , nothing about this ... seems a bit impulsive ? kevin : when something in your gut feels right , why wait ? i do n't want her growing up with the baggage of being chloe mitchell and kevin fisher 's daughter . and i may have cleaned up my act , but it 's not like people have forgotten my past . michael : [ chuckles softly ] i remember that day , all those years ago , when you first came into my office , up to your ears in trouble . kevin : gee , mikey . are n't you happy to see me ? michael : no . not in the least . kevin : wow . that hurts . michael : so , what 's with your face ? you fall down the stairs or something ? kevin : yeah , something like that . michael : do n't tell me . you got beat up . kevin : there 's this guy , if you must know , and he insists on -- michael : yeah , yeah , yeah . there 's always `` this guy , `` `` for no reason , `` mr . it 's not my fault . where the hell did you pop up from ? kevin : i 've been in genoa city for a while , just not traveling in the same circles as you , i guess . michael : dear lord , why ? why -- why would you come here ? kevin : i figured my brother loves it . there must be something about the place . after all , we are so much alike . michael : do n't ever say that . do n't ever say that . kevin : listen , um , i 'd like to chat all day , but , uh , i need a lawyer to get me out of some trouble . do you know a good one ? michael : [ chuckles ] that is the same old kevin . you get to make the mess , and someone else gets to clean it up . kevin : hey , whoever i am is partly your fault . michael : my fault ? ! kevin : yeah , your fault . i swear , if you do n't help me out here , mikey , i will make you wish that you had , okay ? michael : what happened to that guy ? [ chuckles ] kevin : beats me . man , you were pissed , having to deal with me again . michael : we had a - a big mountain to climb , learning how to be brothers , but we did it . and now we 've got gloria back , and she has made a shockingly decent effort to be a better mother and grandmother . kevin : she has . i give her a lot of credit . michael : i mean , we 're never gon na be that all - american , apple - pie - eating family you see in tv commercials . you know , but by baldwin / fisher standards ... we come damn close . kevin : yeah . [ inhales deeply , clears throat ] [ voice breaking ] i owe you a lot . michael : you do n't owe me anything . you 're my family . and you do n't just have gloria and me to rely on here . you 've got esther and you 've got scott and you 've got lauren , too . i understand your feeling like running . but is it the right answer ? you 've got to know that genoa city is still the best place for you and bella . kevin : what i know is that i 'm not staying here . and nothing you say or do is gon na change my mind , mike . abby : i 'm glad nikki had a chance to look around before her performance . victor : i was a little concerned during her absence . i wondered if she wanted to perform at all . abby : she seemed enthusiastic to me . victor : yeah . i was relieved to see that . you know , i meant this to be a gift to nikki , not a burden . abby : dad , now that we 're having this heart - to - heart , i wanted to talk to you about something . this is the first big newman event that we 've had in a while , and we have n't had a newman family dinner in forever . nick , victoria , nikki -- none of them drop by the office like they used to . and i do n't know if i was imagining things , but there seemed to be some tension between you and nick . and more than once recently , you 've seemed a little down , and , well , i wanted to ask you about it , but ... i do n't want to pry . victor : you 're a member of this family . you have a right to know . chelsea : thank you , sharon -- and not just for the coffee , for the encouragement , as well . sharon : any time , and thank you for the offer . scott : ladies . sharon : hey ! chelsea : hi . sharon : how 's everything going with the big event ? scott : actually , better than expected . the venue looks great . chelsea : you talking about for nikki 's benefit concert ? scott : yeah , tomorrow night . it 's sold out . are you going ? chelsea : i would n't miss it . scott : excellent . sharon : oh , i just love the chance to hear her play , and the acoustics are amazing . scott : yeah . the tech guys were doing their first sound rehearsal right as i was leaving , and nick and nikki came to check out the scene . chelsea : do you know if nick is still there , actually ? scott : you know , he might be . i 'm not sure . chelsea : did you guys get into it again ? scott : we were on our best behavior . you could almost call it `` cordial - ish . `` chelsea : okay . good to hear . i 'm gon na go see if i can catch up , but good luck with everything . scott : yeah , thank you . see you at the benefit . chelsea : yeah , sure . scott : hi . alone at last ... sharon : here . scott : ... sort of . sharon : make yourself useful . scott : i can do that . sharon : [ laughs ] scott : thanks . sharon : so , you and nick managed to play nice ? scott : oh , yeah . we 're best buds now . it actually , uh , helped that we did n't have a chance to actually talk . sharon : well , i imagine you were both pretty busy getting ready for nikki 's big night . scott : you know , i do n't want to -- i 'm not looking for trouble here , sharon , but ... the guy 's attitude sucks . i mean , he walked in , glances around , and we 're all just scrambling , and he does n't even lend a hand . and he has n't once asked to help out for this concert -- i mean , not even for the afterparty or the fundraising . if he could just pick up a phone and make a couple calls and maybe collect a couple checks -- it 's not that hard . i just -- he seems like he does n't really want a part of it . sharon : well , you 're half right . tessa : nikki 's gon na be so mad . mariah : at you ? why ? tessa : i told nick something that she wanted to keep private . do n't ask me what it is . i feel bad enough already . mariah : okay . fine . i wo n't push . but why did you tell nick ? tessa : i do n't know . i just ... blurted it out . mariah : nick wore you down . i know how that goes . [ laughing ] i know . tessa : nick said he would n't repeat it to his dad . what if he does ? mariah : look , nick is a good guy , and he 's more loyal to his mom than he is his dad . tessa : loyal , like i should have been . mariah : hey ! stop that ! you have been incredible to nikki , and she knows it . if you had a good reason for telling nick , i 'm sure she 's gon na understand . tessa : look , i know you 're trying to help , mariah , but i really do n't think it 's gon na be that simple . [ door opens , closes ] nick : mom . nikki : hi . nick : i 'm glad you 're home . i was so worried . nikki : oh , honey , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to confuse you or upset you . i just was wound up so tight , i needed some space before the concert . that 's all . nick : where were you ? nikki : i was in one of my very favorite spas in the country , in colorado , for a little r & r . nick : we both know there 's more to it than that . tessa told me that you had a flare - up . nikki : she was n't supposed to tell anybody . if victor finds out about this -- nick : dad has no idea , all right ? he is wrapped up in himself as always . and please do n't be mad at tessa , okay ? she only told me because she is as concerned about you as i am . nikki : well , i 'm fine . nick : how 'bout your pain ? nikki : honey , i just told you i was at a very famous wellness center in boulder . in fact , i tried some holistic treatments . they did a world of good for me . i did yoga . i had massages every single day . i went for long walks . i just blotted out the whole rest of the world like it did n't exist . it did me so much good . nick : i 'm glad , mom , but if you have another episode like this , you have to tell me and victoria so we can help you . there 's no more hiding the truth from us . nikki : all right , son . listen , this was a one - time , stress - related issue . i 've taken care of it now , so i am ready to walk out on that stage tomorrow . nick : no . you 're not doing that . sharon : finding out that chloe killed adam dredged up a lot of painful feelings for nick . scott : anger , i imagine , too . sharon : yes . and even though he adores nikki and he completely supports her , he 's put some distance between himself and victor . scott : that explains a lot . sharon : i imagine victoria feels the same way . scott : ca n't blame 'em . i definitely feel empathy for anybody who wants to stay far , far away from the whole thing until it 's over . it 's for a great cause . i just prefer to spend my work time elsewhere . sharon : and yet you stepped up , and abby , too . scott : [ sighs ] poor kid . she tries so hard to get victor 's approval . when i went over there to interview her for victor 's biography , it was obvious she does n't feel as secure about her place in the family as nikki 's kids . sharon : since when are you so concerned about abby 's feelings ? scott : i was just thinking about how i was raised without a father , and i never had to really please him , you know , or be held to unrealistic expectations . i just do n't have a clue what that 's like , you know , or what he might have thought of me . sharon : i 'm sure that dr . grainger would be very proud of the person you 've become . abby : finding out chloe murdered adam , it had to be awful . victor : it reopened some old wounds , but , you know , without you and scott , nick would n't have done this . you did it all without nicholas or victoria lifting a finger . abby : well , i just want it to be a great night for you , for nikki , and for the m.s . research center . victor : it 's so sweet you came . [ sighs ] it means a great deal to me . i just -- i ca n't stand ... this family being apart . i want nothing more than all of us to get along and be a family again . nikki : after i stopped being so furious with victor , i became determined to prove to him that i can do this ... that he would n't have to swoop down and save me ... like he thinks i need him to do because i 'm just so helpless without him . but , you know , since i had some time away -- i do n't know -- my perspective has changed . nick : how ? nikki : for one thing ... i do n't really give two hoots what victor thinks . i 'm gon na do this performance for me , for charity , for ... the center that has my name on it . nick : well , let me ask you a question . would you have ever in a million years agreed to do this concert if dad had n't pressed you into it ? nikki : absolutely not . playing a concert for a charity benefit ? that would never have entered my mind . and i - i had let my passion for my music go dormant , which was a shame , because if i had pursued it -- who knows ? -- i might be playing all over the world , raising millions of dollars for m.s . research . nick : i never heard you express an interest in performing before , you know , charity or otherwise . nikki : no , you did n't . but i 'm looking at the bigger picture . this is about much more than just one event . this is about me having the guts to spread my wings and fly a little bit . so , i am making this concert my jumping - off point to the rest of my life . it 's my goal , nicholas . it has nothing remotely to do with your father . nick : he still has you brainwashed . you just do n't see it . nikki : i resent that . nick : mom , i am not trying to insult you , okay ? it 's just i 'm very , very worried about you . from what tessa said , this flare - up was really bad . it was so bad that you felt like the only thing you could do was to leave town and cut yourself off from everyone . now , i can see how you might want to try and turn that into some victory , but this is not the way . nikki : honey , i hate to see you so distressed like this . so let me prove it to you right now that i am up to the challenge . michael : you 're really going , are n't you ? kevin : uh - huh . michael : okay . well , i guess this is goodbye , then . kevin : you know i 'm gon na call , right ? michael : yeah . you better -- often . kevin : i need you to trust that i 'm doing the right thing here , okay ? michael : [ scoffs , chuckles ] if you say so . okay . all right . kevin : okay . sharon : so , do you feel like you missed out , growing up without a father ? scott : you know , you ca n't miss something you never had . sharon : you know , i do n't talk about my father much , either . actually , not at all . scott : why is that ? sharon : because he abandoned my family when i was young . it was just me and my mom . scott : that 's something else we have in common . abby : wow . a chelsea 2.0 original ? victor : you think nikki will approve ? abby : yeah ! she 's gon na love it -- and the bling . my favorite color -- sparkly . [ both laugh ] victor : you 're so cute . abby : oh , boy ! wow . when you want to find a new way to tell your wife you love her , you do not mess around . victor : i never saw the point . abby : [ laughs ] well , it 's beautiful , and nikki is gon na look gorgeous on stage . victor : yeah . let 's just hope that the concert will help to bring the newmans back together again . [ mid - tempo piano music playing ] [ music stops ] nikki : well ... how was that ? not a wrong note , was there ? nick : you sounded great , mom . nikki : thank you , honey . and now i 'm afraid i have to kick you out because i need some space so i can practice myself . nick : you win . i 'll leave you to it . nikki : i love you . nick : i love you .

[ smooches ] better than you would think , huh ? chelsea : i 'm really glad . hi , sweet girl . you having fun with your daddy ? huh ? kevin : what do you say ? is it time that we take off ? bella : mm - hmm . kevin : okay . chelsea : where are you going ?

kevin : portland . it 's a nice city . esther : and you 're gon na just pack up bella and head off on your merry way ? kevin : i 'm sorry for just dropping this on you guys , but it 's what i have to do . i need a new start . michael : then do it here . you have before . kevin : i need something new . i 'm sorry . it 's my life , my choice . esther : and this is the way to do it -- moving 2,000 miles away ? michael : look , you make all these plans to go to tahiti , and then , out of nowhere , you change your mind , head west , do n't tell anyone what you 're up to . and now you want to turn your whole life upside down ? kevin : i know this is a surprise . michael : it 's not a surprise . it 's nonsensical . what 's really going on , kevin ? sharon : care to tell me what 's going on in that mind of yours ? mariah : sorry . what ? sharon : is it the usual brownie - versus - scone debate ? mariah : do you think you ever get over the love of your life ? sharon : wow . i was way off base . mariah : do you ? sharon : the short answer ? yes . mariah : and the long one ? sharon : you know , i always believed that nick was the love of my life , and then , when our marriage ended , i realized that ... he was a love of my life . a person can have more than one great love . and i 've been lucky to have a few , like what i had with dylan . mariah : or what you might have with scott ? sharon : mm , it 's way too soon . do n't go there . mariah : right . i guess it 's hard to get over the past and move on . sharon : whose love life are we talking about here -- yours or mine ? are things not going that well with devon ? abby : okay . i think you need to push it a little bit more that way . perfect . love it . thank you . hey . i think we 're in decent shape -- just a few last- minute details . scott : there always are . abby : there is the florist , the caterer , who is driving me crazy about the champagne choice , and lighting design . pick your poison . scott : why do n't you choose ? i 'll just take whatever 's left . whatever you want me to do , i 'll do . abby : wait . since when are you so mellow and team - spirited ? scott : since there 's only one more day left of this and we can get back to our real jobs . you know , i do n't know who 's gon na be happier about seeing this concert finally happen -- victor or me . victor : [ exhales sharply ] nikki : `` victor , i 'll be back in a few days . need to clear my head . nikki . `` nick : [ sighs ] tessa , you are my mother 's assistant . you really have n't heard from her ?

what do you mean by that ? nikki : hello ? ! is anyone home ? ! sharon : are you worried that devon is still in love with hilary ? mariah : no . i - i did n't say that . i just -- oh , hey ! look who 's here ! hi , chelsea ! chelsea : hi ! i 'm not interrupting anything , am i ? mariah : no . you know , actually , i was gon na make a phone call , so , uh , i will let you two talk . chelsea : bye . mariah : bye . chelsea : it 's good to see you . did you have fun at the club ? that was a really fun fourth of july party , was n't it ? sharon : yeah ! i really enjoyed myself , too , in spite of nick and scott butting heads . chelsea : yeah . that was a lot of ... male ego going on . hopefully they got it out of their system . sharon : well , what can i get you to drink ? it 's on the house . chelsea : oh , that 's really sweet , but , actually ... i 'm looking for more than a latte . sharon : oh ? chelsea : i have a proposition for you . abby : now , this should be everything you need to deal with the caterer . scott : what 's your preference ? abby : oh , great . the bubbly ? anything french , from the champagne region , i 'll be good with -- superexpensive . scott : got it . abby : i know that event planning is n't really your thing , but i kind of love it -- all the logistics involved to make a magical evening . it 's kind of a neat challenge , and i feel like i 'm good at it . scott : well , then , i 'll gladly cede control over to you for all future occasions that involve overpriced booze and a fancy dress . abby : all right . dad , hi ! victor : well , hi , sweetheart . scott : victor . victor : so , scott ... everything set for tomorrow night ? abby : yes . we 're just divvying up the few last - minute details . victor : look at this . i had a feeling the two of you would work well together . abby : uh , well , nikki 's piano was just delivered . when is she gon na come by and test it out ? victor : i doubt she will . abby : really ? i thought she 'd want to get a feel for the lighting design , the stage , all that stuff . victor : normally , performers would like to do that , you know , but nikki does things her own way . scott : whatever works . i 'm impressed she 's doing it at all . i mean , getting out there in front of all those people -- i could n't . abby : really ? you 're an investigative journalist , but getting on stage and playing a little tune is too much for you ? scott : it 's a different kind of pressure , especially if you 've never done it before . if it were up to me , i 'd be running for the hills . nick : tessa , i need to know . is there some reason why my mother would n't be able to perform ? tessa : i do n't know why i said that . i should go . nick : just hold on . hold on . look , i know we are both concerned about the amount of stress my mother 's under right now . but if there 's something more , something worse , as to why she ca n't do this , then i need to know . tessa , whatever it is , my mother should n't be facing it alone . you know that . so , please , i 'm begging you . tessa : nikki was in a lot of pain before she left . nick : what kind of pain ? is -- is it her m.s . ? tessa : she had a flare - up . the doctor came and gave her some medicine , but before i knew it , she left . nick : and you have no idea where ? tessa : i do n't . and that 's the truth . nick : okay . thanks . tessa : please do n't tell victor . nikki did not want him to know . she made me swear , nick . nick : when i see my mom , i 'm gon na have to get into this with her . i 'm not gon na tell my dad anything , except that there is not gon na be any concert . kevin : look , i know it 's a lot to take in , but there 's no cause for alarm . michael : are you kidding ? there 's plenty of cause . esther : this is such a rash decision . you do n't even know anyone in portland , do you ? kevin : no . that 's the point -- a new place , make a new start , meet new people , make new friends . esther : the best thing for you to do is just to stay here and get your life back to normal . kevin : esther , nothing about this situation is normal . michael : starting with you bailing on tahiti . how does that even happen ? kevin : well , i was at the airport , waiting to check in , and , uh -- and it hit me . how can i -- how can i go to the place where chloe and i were supposed to honeymoon ? i just could n't do it . so i went up to the counter , and i asked the ticket agent if i could exchange my ticket . the next flight was to portland , so i grabbed a seat . spent the next few days wandering around the city , and a sense of calm came over me . it 's hard to put into words , but you know when , like -- you know when you 're holding your breath and then you finally take a breath again ? it was like that . esther : you know , i know that these past few weeks have been really difficult , but moving all that way and uprooting that precious little girl ... kevin : kids are resilient . this is gon na be good for both of us . michael : listen ... you 're a single parent , on your own . you need family . kevin : i love you all . mike , you know that . there 's just too many bad memories here . even here -- here , the place where chloe and i did n't get married , the last place i saw her alive . there 's -- there 's just so much pain . i ca n't do it anymore . esther : kevin , i hate the thought of never seeing you , and bella is my only grandchild . she needs us , too . kevin : she needs her father more . and i ca n't be a good parent if my head is n't on straight . please tell me you understand and that you 're gon na let me do this and not make this any harder than it already is . chelsea : i know you originally stopped working for me at chelsea 2.0 because you needed to run this place , but it looks like it 's a well - oiled machine now , so ... sharon : well , i 've had really good luck with assistant managers lately . chelsea : well , i 'm delighted to hear that , because ... i want you back . part- time , full - time , basically all the extra hours you have to spare , so , um ... do you have any interest ? please say yes . sharon : that is the last thing that i expected to hear today . chelsea : well , you know , i miss having you around the studio -- a lot . it 's nice having someone that you can count on . you know what i mean ? so ... what do you say ? will you help me ? esther : i know that it is not my place to tell you what 's best for you and your child , but do you really think that this is gon na give you the peace of mind that you 're looking for ? kevin : i know it will . this is n't some crazy impulse . i 've been thinking about this for weeks . esther : okay . well , bella should be waking up from her nap soon , so maybe i should just -- kevin : oh , no need ! bella , come here ! hi , sweet girl ! oh , gosh . daddy missed you so much . hi . [ smooching ] michael : you know what ? why do n't we take bella to the park ? you 'd like that , bella , would n't you ? i know i would . scott : victor , here are the latest figures . the tech crew will be coming through in a little bit to set up the sound and lighting boards . everything 's right on schedule . nick , hey . we 're almost finished . nick : yeah . i need to talk to my dad -- alone . scott : he 's all yours . victor : all right , scott . scott : yeah . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? you 've shown zero interest in helping to prepare for your mother 's concert . nick : we both know mom 's out of town . she has no interest in showing up to this concert of yours . victor : if she had had no interest , she would have let me know . nick : she had to get away from you because of all the stress you 're putting on her . she 's not gon na put herself on display just so you can play the noble benefactor . victor : you know why i 'm putting this on ? to show the world how much i admire your mother 's determination to overcome her m.s . and give this performance . but you would n't know about that because you have nothing but contempt for your father . nick : yeah , well , you 're gon na change your tune tomorrow night . you 're gon na have a pavilion full of people , and mom 's not gon na be able to perform because you made her life so intolerable . nikki : oh , my goodness . hi , you two ! nick : hey , mom . nick : oh . there is so much going on back here . abby : i can not wait for you to see the setup on stage . it 's uberdramatic . nikki : oh . well , i have to confess , i did take a little peek at the front of the house on my way back here . it 's so beautiful . and i 'm so appreciative of all the hard work you 've put in , especially you , victor . thank you again for arranging this event . i just ca n't wait till tomorrow . victor : glad to hear that . [ indistinct conversation ] nikki : ohh . nikki : i ca n't remember the last time i was so excited . victor : i 'm glad to hear that . abby : would you like to the piano a trial run -- get a feel for the stage ? scott : 9-foot concert grand , freshly tuned . nikki : i know . i am familiar with that piano . it is beautiful -- beautiful tone -- but i think i would rather go home by myself in my own living room and practice . that 's where i was headed now . i just decided to come and say hello . victor : all right . i 'll see you at home ? nikki : okay . victor : okay . abby : bye . nikki : bye . scott : bye - bye . victor : son , if you do n't mind , i 'd like to finish our conversation . scott : you know what ? i had a couple questions about how the piano 's being mic 'd . do you mind ? abby : yeah . let 's go and check it out . scott : sure . victor : you saw how good your mother looks . she 's ready and prepared for tomorrow night 's concert , proving once again that you 're presumptuous when you assume that you know your mother better than i do . [ cell phone chimes ] sharon : chelsea , i am so flattered , but i 'm gon na have to say no . between crimson lights , my university courses , volunteering at the crisis hot line , raising my daughter , and trying to save a sliver of time for scott , i just ca n't . i wish i could . i mean , it 's a really wonderful offer . chelsea : i 'm disappointed , but i understand . i 'm actually in the same boat . sharon : thank you for being so gracious . chelsea : i just really want to take my brand to the next level , you know ? and i need the right people to do that . [ sighs ] i just do n't know who to turn to for help . sharon : everything 's gon na be okay . you 've been so strong and you have accomplished so much . nothing is gon na stop you from getting what you want . bella : look at all the flowers . kevin : i know . you see ? look . see over there ? all the pink ones -- why do n't you go check those out ? but stay where i can see you , all right ? michael : now that we 're alone ... the truth . the day you left , you were a mess . now suddenly you 're back here , all full of this crazy energy , ready to take bella and go off and start some new life somewhere else . kevin : what 's wrong with that ? michael : nothing . i get exactly what you 're doing . but it takes time . you do n't get there overnight . kevin : it was n't overnight . it was several nights of some serious soul searching . michael : kevin , nothing about this ... seems a bit impulsive ? kevin : when something in your gut feels right , why wait ? i do n't want her growing up with the baggage of being chloe mitchell and kevin fisher 's daughter . and i may have cleaned up my act , but it 's not like people have forgotten my past . michael : [ chuckles softly ] i remember that day , all those years ago , when you first came into my office , up to your ears in trouble . kevin : gee , mikey . are n't you happy to see me ? michael : no . not in the least . kevin : wow . that hurts . michael : so , what 's with your face ? you fall down the stairs or something ? kevin : yeah , something like that . michael : do n't tell me . you got beat up . kevin : there 's this guy , if you must know , and he insists on -- michael : yeah , yeah , yeah . there 's always `` this guy , `` `` for no reason , `` mr . it 's not my fault . where the hell did you pop up from ? kevin : i 've been in genoa city for a while , just not traveling in the same circles as you , i guess . michael : dear lord , why ? why -- why would you come here ? kevin : i figured my brother loves it . there must be something about the place . after all , we are so much alike . michael : do n't ever say that . do n't ever say that . kevin : listen , um , i 'd like to chat all day , but , uh , i need a lawyer to get me out of some trouble . do you know a good one ? michael : [ chuckles ] that is the same old kevin . you get to make the mess , and someone else gets to clean it up . kevin : hey , whoever i am is partly your fault . michael : my fault ? ! kevin : yeah , your fault . i swear , if you do n't help me out here , mikey , i will make you wish that you had , okay ? michael : what happened to that guy ? [ chuckles ] kevin : beats me . man , you were pissed , having to deal with me again . michael : we had a - a big mountain to climb , learning how to be brothers , but we did it . and now we 've got gloria back , and she has made a shockingly decent effort to be a better mother and grandmother . kevin : she has . i give her a lot of credit . michael : i mean , we 're never gon na be that all - american , apple - pie - eating family you see in tv commercials . you know , but by baldwin / fisher standards ... we come damn close . kevin : yeah . [ inhales deeply , clears throat ] [ voice breaking ] i owe you a lot . michael : you do n't owe me anything . you 're my family . and you do n't just have gloria and me to rely on here . you 've got esther and you 've got scott and you 've got lauren , too . i understand your feeling like running . but is it the right answer ? you 've got to know that genoa city is still the best place for you and bella . kevin : what i know is that i 'm not staying here . and nothing you say or do is gon na change my mind , mike . abby : i 'm glad nikki had a chance to look around before her performance . victor : i was a little concerned during her absence . i wondered if she wanted to perform at all . abby : she seemed enthusiastic to me . victor : yeah . i was relieved to see that . you know , i meant this to be a gift to nikki , not a burden . abby : dad , now that we 're having this heart - to - heart , i wanted to talk to you about something . this is the first big newman event that we 've had in a while , and we have n't had a newman family dinner in forever . nick , victoria , nikki -- none of them drop by the office like they used to . and i do n't know if i was imagining things , but there seemed to be some tension between you and nick . and more than once recently , you 've seemed a little down , and , well , i wanted to ask you about it , but ... i do n't want to pry . victor : you 're a member of this family . you have a right to know . chelsea : thank you , sharon -- and not just for the coffee , for the encouragement , as well . sharon : any time , and thank you for the offer . scott : ladies . sharon : hey ! chelsea : hi . sharon : how 's everything going with the big event ? scott : actually , better than expected . the venue looks great . chelsea : you talking about for nikki 's benefit concert ? scott : yeah , tomorrow night . it 's sold out . are you going ? chelsea : i would n't miss it . scott : excellent . sharon : oh , i just love the chance to hear her play , and the acoustics are amazing . scott : yeah . the tech guys were doing their first sound rehearsal right as i was leaving , and nick and nikki came to check out the scene . chelsea : do you know if nick is still there , actually ? scott : you know , he might be . i 'm not sure . chelsea : did you guys get into it again ? scott : we were on our best behavior . you could almost call it `` cordial - ish . `` chelsea : okay . good to hear . i 'm gon na go see if i can catch up , but good luck with everything . scott : yeah , thank you . see you at the benefit . chelsea : yeah , sure . scott : hi . alone at last ... sharon : here . scott : ... sort of . sharon : make yourself useful . scott : i can do that . sharon : [ laughs ] scott : thanks . sharon : so , you and nick managed to play nice ? scott : oh , yeah . we 're best buds now . it actually , uh , helped that we did n't have a chance to actually talk . sharon : well , i imagine you were both pretty busy getting ready for nikki 's big night . scott : you know , i do n't want to -- i 'm not looking for trouble here , sharon , but ... the guy 's attitude sucks . i mean , he walked in , glances around , and we 're all just scrambling , and he does n't even lend a hand . and he has n't once asked to help out for this concert -- i mean , not even for the afterparty or the fundraising . if he could just pick up a phone and make a couple calls and maybe collect a couple checks -- it 's not that hard . i just -- he seems like he does n't really want a part of it . sharon : well , you 're half right . tessa : nikki 's gon na be so mad . mariah : at you ? why ? tessa : i told nick something that she wanted to keep private . do n't ask me what it is . i feel bad enough already . mariah : okay . fine . i wo n't push . but why did you tell nick ? tessa : i do n't know . i just ... blurted it out . mariah : nick wore you down . i know how that goes . [ laughing ] i know . tessa : nick said he would n't repeat it to his dad . what if he does ? mariah : look , nick is a good guy , and he 's more loyal to his mom than he is his dad . tessa : loyal , like i should have been . mariah : hey ! stop that ! you have been incredible to nikki , and she knows it . if you had a good reason for telling nick , i 'm sure she 's gon na understand . tessa : look , i know you 're trying to help , mariah , but i really do n't think it 's gon na be that simple . [ door opens , closes ] nick : mom . nikki : hi . nick : i 'm glad you 're home . i was so worried . nikki : oh , honey , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to confuse you or upset you . i just was wound up so tight , i needed some space before the concert . that 's all . nick : where were you ? nikki : i was in one of my very favorite spas in the country , in colorado , for a little r & r . nick : we both know there 's more to it than that . tessa told me that you had a flare - up . nikki : she was n't supposed to tell anybody . if victor finds out about this -- nick : dad has no idea , all right ? he is wrapped up in himself as always . and please do n't be mad at tessa , okay ? she only told me because she is as concerned about you as i am . nikki : well , i 'm fine . nick : how 'bout your pain ? nikki : honey , i just told you i was at a very famous wellness center in boulder . in fact , i tried some holistic treatments . they did a world of good for me . i did yoga . i had massages every single day . i went for long walks . i just blotted out the whole rest of the world like it did n't exist . it did me so much good . nick : i 'm glad , mom , but if you have another episode like this , you have to tell me and victoria so we can help you . there 's no more hiding the truth from us . nikki : all right , son . listen , this was a one - time , stress - related issue . i 've taken care of it now , so i am ready to walk out on that stage tomorrow . nick : no . you 're not doing that . sharon : finding out that chloe killed adam dredged up a lot of painful feelings for nick . scott : anger , i imagine , too . sharon : yes . and even though he adores nikki and he completely supports her , he 's put some distance between himself and victor . scott : that explains a lot . sharon : i imagine victoria feels the same way . scott : ca n't blame 'em . i definitely feel empathy for anybody who wants to stay far , far away from the whole thing until it 's over . it 's for a great cause . i just prefer to spend my work time elsewhere . sharon : and yet you stepped up , and abby , too . scott : [ sighs ] poor kid . she tries so hard to get victor 's approval . when i went over there to interview her for victor 's biography , it was obvious she does n't feel as secure about her place in the family as nikki 's kids . sharon : since when are you so concerned about abby 's feelings ? scott : i was just thinking about how i was raised without a father , and i never had to really please him , you know , or be held to unrealistic expectations . i just do n't have a clue what that 's like , you know , or what he might have thought of me . sharon : i 'm sure that dr . grainger would be very proud of the person you 've become . abby : finding out chloe murdered adam , it had to be awful . victor : it reopened some old wounds , but , you know , without you and scott , nick would n't have done this . you did it all without nicholas or victoria lifting a finger . abby : well , i just want it to be a great night for you , for nikki , and for the m.s . research center . victor : it 's so sweet you came . [ sighs ] it means a great deal to me . i just -- i ca n't stand ... this family being apart . i want nothing more than all of us to get along and be a family again . nikki : after i stopped being so furious with victor , i became determined to prove to him that i can do this ... that he would n't have to swoop down and save me ... like he thinks i need him to do because i 'm just so helpless without him . but , you know , since i had some time away -- i do n't know -- my perspective has changed . nick : how ? nikki : for one thing ... i do n't really give two hoots what victor thinks . i 'm gon na do this performance for me , for charity , for ... the center that has my name on it . nick : well , let me ask you a question . would you have ever in a million years agreed to do this concert if dad had n't pressed you into it ? nikki : absolutely not . playing a concert for a charity benefit ? that would never have entered my mind . and i - i had let my passion for my music go dormant , which was a shame , because if i had pursued it -- who knows ? -- i might be playing all over the world , raising millions of dollars for m.s . research . nick : i never heard you express an interest in performing before , you know , charity or otherwise . nikki : no , you did n't . but i 'm looking at the bigger picture . this is about much more than just one event . this is about me having the guts to spread my wings and fly a little bit . so , i am making this concert my jumping - off point to the rest of my life . it 's my goal , nicholas . it has nothing remotely to do with your father . nick : he still has you brainwashed . you just do n't see it . nikki : i resent that . nick : mom , i am not trying to insult you , okay ? it 's just i 'm very , very worried about you . from what tessa said , this flare - up was really bad . it was so bad that you felt like the only thing you could do was to leave town and cut yourself off from everyone . now , i can see how you might want to try and turn that into some victory , but this is not the way . nikki : honey , i hate to see you so distressed like this . so let me prove it to you right now that i am up to the challenge . michael : you 're really going , are n't you ? kevin : uh - huh . michael : okay . well , i guess this is goodbye , then . kevin : you know i 'm gon na call , right ? michael : yeah . you better -- often . kevin : i need you to trust that i 'm doing the right thing here , okay ? michael : [ scoffs , chuckles ] if you say so . okay . all right . kevin : okay . sharon : so , do you feel like you missed out , growing up without a father ? scott : you know , you ca n't miss something you never had . sharon : you know , i do n't talk about my father much , either . actually , not at all . scott : why is that ? sharon : because he abandoned my family when i was young . it was just me and my mom . scott : that 's something else we have in common . abby : wow . a chelsea 2.0 original ? victor : you think nikki will approve ? abby : yeah ! she 's gon na love it -- and the bling . my favorite color -- sparkly . [ both laugh ] victor : you 're so cute . abby : oh , boy ! wow . when you want to find a new way to tell your wife you love her , you do not mess around . victor : i never saw the point . abby : [ laughs ] well , it 's beautiful , and nikki is gon na look gorgeous on stage . victor : yeah . let 's just hope that the concert will help to bring the newmans back together again . [ mid - tempo piano music playing ] [ music stops ] nikki : well ... how was that ? not a wrong note , was there ? nick : you sounded great , mom . nikki : thank you , honey . and now i 'm afraid i have to kick you out because i need some space so i can practice myself . nick : you win . i 'll leave you to it . nikki : i love you . nick : i love you .

[ smooches ] better than you would think , huh ? chelsea : i 'm really glad . hi , sweet girl . you having fun with your daddy ? huh ? kevin : what do you say ? is it time that we take off ? bella : mm - hmm . kevin : okay . chelsea : where are you going ? bella : we 're gon na go see mommy ! kevin : [ chuckles nervously ] [ next_on ] cane : victoria had to let me go . mattie : wait . she fired you ? victoria : i 'm sorry that it had to go down that way , but cane left me no choice . victor : you show up at the concert on your best behavior . nick : this concert is not for her , it 's for you . cancel it .Summarize.[/INST]mariah asked sharon if people ever got over the love of their life . sharon opined that you could have more than one great love . sharon asked if mariah was worried that devon was still in love with hilary . mariah stammered no . chelsea arrived , and mariah seized the opportunity to rush off , ending the conversation . chelsea asked sharon to come back to work for chelsea 2.0 . sharon graciously declined . chelsea was disappointed because she did n't know where to turn . sharon gave her a pep talk . nick questioned tessa about nikki 's abrupt trip out of town . tessa reluctantly revealed that nikki had an m.s . flare up before she left . tessa begged nick not to tell victor , and he promised not to . the guilt ridden tessa told mariah that she 'd betrayed nikki 's confidence . tessa was worried about nikki 's reaction , and mariah 's reassurances did n't ease her fears . esther and michael were alarmed when kevin informed them that he and bella are moving to oregon for a new start . kevin insisted that the move would be good for him and his daughter . michael suggested that he and kevin take bella to the park . once there , michael suggested that kevin was being impulsive . kevin said he did n't want bella to grow up and be judged by her parents ' past . kevin and michael reminisced about kevin 's arrival in genoa city , years ago . they talked about kevin 's growth and the strides they 'd made as a family . michael made an unsuccessful attempt to convince kevin to stay , and they shared an emotional goodbye . chelsea apologized to kevin for showing up at chloe 's funeral . chelsea was taken aback when bella said she and kevin were going to see chloe .</s> | 17,523 |
steffy : i talked to my dad and to bill . brooke : i really did n't want to be in this situation again , steffy . steffy : so you have n't decided what you 're gon na do ? brooke : your father thinks that i should leave bill and come back to him . steffy : yeah , my dad 's pretty confident about that . he 'd be even more confident if he knew that you left bill because of what he did to spectra . brooke : and for what ? he wanted to drive them out of business just to build his huge skyscraper ? steffy : it 's crazy . it 's crazy , and it 's wrong . and he admits that . but if you leave bill , are you really gon na go back to my dad ? pam : bill , i 'm serious -- bill : get your attack dog off me . pam : i 'm sorry , ridge . i tried to stop him . should i get charlie ? ridge : no , that 's okay . i think i can handle this . thank you . bill : and no lemon bars needed . tell charlie not to sit on his taser . ridge : it 's okay . so how can i help you ? you need me to get another message to brooke ? i ca n't keep doing this . i know you 're separated , but ... bill : well , brooke and i are still married , and you 're going to respect that . ridge : i respect her . so what did you do to push her away ? sally : if we had n't come in when we did , the fire could have taken the entire building to the ground . shirley : well , then we could have started from scratch instead of ripping things up to find out what 's damaged . sally : what did the inspector say ? shirley : which one ? structural , electrical , plumbing ? [ door opens ] sally : what 's wrong with the plumbing ? shirley : how would i know ? liam : uh ... [ knock on door ] ... knock , knock . sorry . darlita was n't at her desk . shirley : she probably ran for cover when she heard a spencer was in the house . sally : grams ! liam : hey , um , what 's your schedule look like ? sally : why ? liam : i 'm going to san francisco , and you should come with me . sally : you want me to go away with you ? liam : well , for a business trip . shirley : what kind of business do you have with sally ? sally : liam is running spencer publications now . liam : yeah , there 's some people in san francisco i think sally should meet . shirley : who ? sally : i will tell you all about it whenever liam fills me in . why do n't you go figure out where darlita ran off to ? thank you . liam : [ chuckles ] you know this trip 's not a secret , right ? sally : yes , but your investment in spectra is . ridge : it takes a big man to admit when he 's wrong . you a big man , billy ? bill : man enough not to get baited , drawn in by your little stunt coming over to get brooke 's things . ridge : but you do understand my curiosity . you must have screwed up big for her to take that hideous ring off her finger . steffy : well , that 's one way to show bill you 're serious . brooke : oh , yeah , well , i could n't wear it . i made bill take it back . steffy : and dad ? what did he say ? brooke : he 's not gon na pressure me . steffy : my dad wants you back . and then there 's bill . brooke : bill does n't want to lose me . steffy : he regrets what he 's done . maybe he just has n't gotten through to you or maybe you just do n't care . brooke : yes , of course i care . i love bill . steffy : then are you prepared to end your marriage to him ? bill : you know , it must be excessive exposure to the sound of a sewing machine , because you 're not hearing me . my marriage to brooke is n't ending . ridge : well , her actions say otherwise . bill : well , she 's just trying to sort through things . she needs her space , and i 'm respecting that . and i do n't need you making things harder on her . ridge : i 'm not . i 'm here when she needs me . bill : yeah , quite the -- quite the backup , hanging around like a -- like a flu bug , waiting for things to go wrong in her life , because that 's the only time you look like the right choice . brooke needs a man who will fight for her . i 'm not gon na slink away and give up the way you did . i 'm gon na stand right here in the middle of this and take the heat . i 'm not going anywhere . brooke will see that and understand what true devotion looks like . yeah , we 're going through hell right now . we 'll get through it , just like we have everything else . and i 'm not gon na let you or anyone get in the way of that . [ door opens ] [ birds chirping ] steffy : i understand you 're drawn to my father . brooke : ridge has been very supportive . steffy : yeah , you two have history , and you share a son together . you want to protect him from all the chaos bill 's caused . brooke : [ sighs ] it was n't necessary . he could have built that skyscraper anywhere . but he did n't want sally to beat him , so he had to destroy her and everything that she worked for . steffy : and it 's destroying your marriage , too . brooke : i ca n't be the only thing that stops him from doing the unthinkable . i want to know that i married a good man . steffy : even good men make mistakes . i mean , we all do . i ca n't think of one person in our lives who has n't , can you ? i think that 's why we take vows . we acknowledge it 's not gon na be easy and our spouse is not perfect . brooke : it 's not a blank check . i did n't sign on to overlook everything . steffy : then don't . hold bill accountable . he wants to make things right with you . brooke : i do believe he 's sincere . steffy : okay . then is it my dad ? bill did n't give up on you when you turned to my father . he knew that you were gon na come back to him , and you did . if you leave bill again , if you let this derail your marriage , you could lose him forever . sally : bill must be hating this . liam : oh , you do n't have to worry about him anymore . sally : all of that could change once he finds out i 'm using his architecture firm to rebuild spectra fashions , the one that he hired to create his beloved masterpiece . liam : yeah , about that . they already know the location , and we paid them a retainer . may as well go see if there 's anything they can do . sally : you know how i feel about charity , liam . liam : th -- [ chuckles ] this is not charity , sally . i have to go meet with them . you should just come with me and see if they can do something for you . look , you -- you have to have someone spearhead this project , right ? coordinate all the contractors , schedule the work . this is not a do - it- yourself renovation . sally : oh , no , yeah . i 'm fully aware . just getting bids alone has been a full- time job . meanwhile , i 'm trying to create the most fantastic collection that spectra has ever produced . liam : your grandmother ca n't help you ? sally : my grandmother wants to cut so many corners , this building wo n't have any . liam : ooh . what about , uh , saul or darlita ? sally : saul is convinced that the ceiling is caving in , and darlita wants to put a disco ball and mirrors on it . liam : [ stifled laugh ] okay , there you go . this is why you need to let the professionals take over . just come with me to san francisco . you do n't like what they have to say , fine , you come back here to your ... mountain of price quotes and blueprints . sally : well , when you put it like that , how can i say no ? sally : well , looks like i 'm gon na have to brush up on my architecture lingo . liam : oh , yeah . by the way , get ready for some of the best food and most beautiful scenery in the world . just fyi . sally : wow . you are making this business trip seem like fun . liam : yeah , well , it should be , especially if you 're doing something you love , you know ? sally : you love running a publishing empire ? liam : [ chuckles ] um , well , being in charge gives me the power to make changes , both in the company and the world , and that ... that i love . sally : well , you have definitely changed things for me . spectra would n't even exist if you had n't given us a leg up . liam : that 's 'cause i know you 'll make the most of it . sally : why does it seem like you really want us to succeed ? liam : i do n't know . i think one person 's victory should n't be another one 's loss . we all kind of do better when we help each other out . sally : you know , you could have given me the deed to this building and just gone off feeling good about yourself , and i would have been indebted to you for the rest of my life . liam : [ chuckles ] sally : i will repay you every penny that you gave to c.j . for this property . but honestly , i have no idea how i 'm gon na repay you for your generosity and compassion that you 've shown me . you are helping spectra rise from the ashes , and there are no words to describe the gratitude that i feel for you , liam . it 's really not cliché to say ... i ca n't thank you enough . ridge : oh , man , i should have gone to il giardino 's to get you some of that lavender panna cotta . brooke : oh , wow , that sounds good . ridge : you know what ? i 'll go now . brooke : no ! no . do n't bother . ridge : i just want to make you happy . you know what ? but i should n't bother . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na call r.j. at the office and tell him to get it , deliver it here . food emergency . brooke : [ chuckles ] it 's not an emergency . i 'm fine . ridge : you 're not fine . do n't pretend with me . you 're stressed . brooke : i 'm tired . ridge : oh , i got good news . i will talk to the boss and get you some time off . brooke : oh . i just saw her . i should have asked her myself . ridge : you take as much time as you need to figure this out . and when you do , i 'm gon na be right here . i 've experienced life without you , and i did n't like it . i do n't want to do it again . shirley : sally spectra , are you going to san francisco with liam ? sally : how do you think i would look in go - go boots ? shirley : sally spectra , you little minx ! [ gasps ] sally : it 's a business trip , grams . he 's meeting with an architecture firm there , and he thinks they can help us with the building . shirley : oh . and they do n't have architects in los angeles ? sally : the firm already has an agreement with spencer . bill was gon na use them to help build his skyscraper . they know the location . shirley : [ giggles ] ai n't that perfect . bill spencer 's getting a lesson in karma . or at least not ticking off his son . sally : it is not like that , grams , okay ? liam is just trying to help out . shirley : mm - hmm . sally : okay , i know it sounds like a bunch of bleeding heart mumbo jumbo , but i think it 's sweet . shirley : sweet ? the boy is scrumptious . i do n't know how you do it , sally . you work some kind of magic , but you are going on a trip with the handsome , extremely wealthy and powerful liam spencer . sally : i wonder how steffy 's gon na feel about that . steffy : i was honest with her . she needs to know what could happen . liam : steffy , brooke does n't need to be told what my dad is capable of . she sees him for who he is . steffy : she loves him . and if she ends their marriage , she might not get another chance . liam : you 're advocating for my dad ? steffy : i just want her to be aware of the stakes . liam : you do n't want brooke with , oh , your dad ? steffy : if she wants to go back to my dad , that 's fine . i just want her to be sure . liam : for your dad 's sake , right ? steffy : for her sake . bill only gives you a few chances . you use them up , he wo n't give you anymore . liam : [ sighing ] okay . steffy : fine , fine . i am done talking about bill . okay , let 's talk about your -- your trip . i really wish i could go . liam : yeah , i wish you could , too . although you probably would n't like the company . i asked sally to go with me . steffy : sally spectra ? ridge : i have learned my lesson . it took a little while 'cause i got a thick head , but i 'm never gon na let you down again . brooke : if we really learned our lessons , we would n't have to say `` never . `` ridge : well -- well , this is different . this is the be all and the end all here . i love you , and with all this stuff , it just makes me love you more . brooke : ridge ... ridge : i just -- let me know when you 're ready . i 'll be waiting . brooke : [ chuckles ] okay , well , you may be waiting for a very long time . and by then , i might have a lot of wrinkles , so ... ridge : oh . what -- what about a walker ? you gon na have a walker , too ? brooke : yeah , it 's possible . i could have a walker . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : and i might just lose my memory . ridge : that could be a good thing , because then you would forget all the stupid stuff that i 've done , and that would remind you every day how much i love you and how much you love me . brooke : [ laughs ] okay . ridge : so we 'd be on the porch , and i 'd take care of you always . brooke : on the porch . ridge : yeah . brooke : that 's cute . picturing us in our twilight years . just when i thought you were anxious to get me in lingerie . and that 'll never happen , by the way . but i am flattered that you would suggest it . ridge : oh , man . i always think of you in lingerie . brooke : my , my , ridge forrester . i guess that will never change . ridge : mnh - mnh . steffy : you 're taking sally spectra to san francisco ? liam : well , i 'm meeting with that architect , yeah . steffy : to pull the plug on the skyscraper . liam : listen , the retainer is nonrefundable . so if there 's someway to use it , why would n't i -- steffy : how ? liam : sally has to rehab the entire spectra building , and that firm 's already familiar with the property . steffy : oh , stop , stop . i ca n't hear this . you already gave her the building ! and now you 're helping her set it up ?

[ door opens ] sally : what 's wrong with the plumbing ? shirley : how would i know ? liam : uh ... [ knock on door ] ... knock , knock . sorry . darlita was n't at her desk . shirley : she probably ran for cover when she heard a spencer was in the house . sally : grams ! liam : hey , um , what 's your schedule look like ? sally : why ? liam : i 'm going to san francisco , and you should come with me . sally : you want me to go away with you ? liam : well , for a business trip . shirley : what kind of business do you have with sally ? sally : liam is running spencer publications now . liam : yeah , there 's some people in san francisco i think sally should meet . shirley : who ? sally : i will tell you all about it whenever liam fills me in . why do n't you go figure out where darlita ran off to ? thank you . liam : [ chuckles ] you know this trip 's not a secret , right ? sally : yes , but your investment in spectra is . ridge : it takes a big man to admit when he 's wrong . you a big man , billy ? bill : man enough not to get baited , drawn in by your little stunt coming over to get brooke 's things . ridge : but you do understand my curiosity . you must have screwed up big for her to take that hideous ring off her finger . steffy : well , that 's one way to show bill you 're serious . brooke : oh , yeah , well , i could n't wear it . i made bill take it back . steffy : and dad ? what did he say ? brooke : he 's not gon na pressure me . steffy : my dad wants you back . and then there 's bill . brooke : bill does n't want to lose me . steffy : he regrets what he 's done . maybe he just has n't gotten through to you or maybe you just do n't care . brooke : yes , of course i care . i love bill . steffy : then are you prepared to end your marriage to him ? bill : you know , it must be excessive exposure to the sound of a sewing machine , because you 're not hearing me . my marriage to brooke is n't ending . ridge : well , her actions say otherwise . bill : well , she 's just trying to sort through things . she needs her space , and i 'm respecting that . and i do n't need you making things harder on her . ridge : i 'm not . i 'm here when she needs me . bill : yeah , quite the -- quite the backup , hanging around like a -- like a flu bug , waiting for things to go wrong in her life , because that 's the only time you look like the right choice . brooke needs a man who will fight for her . i 'm not gon na slink away and give up the way you did . i 'm gon na stand right here in the middle of this and take the heat . i 'm not going anywhere . brooke will see that and understand what true devotion looks like . yeah , we 're going through hell right now . we 'll get through it , just like we have everything else . and i 'm not gon na let you or anyone get in the way of that . [ door opens ] [ birds chirping ] steffy : i understand you 're drawn to my father . brooke : ridge has been very supportive . steffy : yeah , you two have history , and you share a son together . you want to protect him from all the chaos bill 's caused . brooke : [ sighs ] it was n't necessary . he could have built that skyscraper anywhere . but he did n't want sally to beat him , so he had to destroy her and everything that she worked for . steffy : and it 's destroying your marriage , too . brooke : i ca n't be the only thing that stops him from doing the unthinkable . i want to know that i married a good man . steffy : even good men make mistakes . i mean , we all do . i ca n't think of one person in our lives who has n't , can you ? i think that 's why we take vows . we acknowledge it 's not gon na be easy and our spouse is not perfect . brooke : it 's not a blank check . i did n't sign on to overlook everything . steffy : then don't . hold bill accountable . he wants to make things right with you . brooke : i do believe he 's sincere . steffy : okay . then is it my dad ? bill did n't give up on you when you turned to my father . he knew that you were gon na come back to him , and you did . if you leave bill again , if you let this derail your marriage , you could lose him forever . sally : bill must be hating this . liam : oh , you do n't have to worry about him anymore . sally : all of that could change once he finds out i 'm using his architecture firm to rebuild spectra fashions , the one that he hired to create his beloved masterpiece . liam : yeah , about that . they already know the location , and we paid them a retainer . may as well go see if there 's anything they can do . sally : you know how i feel about charity , liam . liam : th -- [ chuckles ] this is not charity , sally . i have to go meet with them . you should just come with me and see if they can do something for you . look , you -- you have to have someone spearhead this project , right ? coordinate all the contractors , schedule the work . this is not a do - it- yourself renovation . sally : oh , no , yeah . i 'm fully aware . just getting bids alone has been a full- time job . meanwhile , i 'm trying to create the most fantastic collection that spectra has ever produced . liam : your grandmother ca n't help you ? sally : my grandmother wants to cut so many corners , this building wo n't have any . liam : ooh . what about , uh , saul or darlita ? sally : saul is convinced that the ceiling is caving in , and darlita wants to put a disco ball and mirrors on it . liam : [ stifled laugh ] okay , there you go . this is why you need to let the professionals take over . just come with me to san francisco . you do n't like what they have to say , fine , you come back here to your ... mountain of price quotes and blueprints . sally : well , when you put it like that , how can i say no ? sally : well , looks like i 'm gon na have to brush up on my architecture lingo . liam : oh , yeah . by the way , get ready for some of the best food and most beautiful scenery in the world . just fyi . sally : wow . you are making this business trip seem like fun . liam : yeah , well , it should be , especially if you 're doing something you love , you know ? sally : you love running a publishing empire ? liam : [ chuckles ] um , well , being in charge gives me the power to make changes , both in the company and the world , and that ... that i love . sally : well , you have definitely changed things for me . spectra would n't even exist if you had n't given us a leg up . liam : that 's 'cause i know you 'll make the most of it . sally : why does it seem like you really want us to succeed ? liam : i do n't know . i think one person 's victory should n't be another one 's loss . we all kind of do better when we help each other out . sally : you know , you could have given me the deed to this building and just gone off feeling good about yourself , and i would have been indebted to you for the rest of my life . liam : [ chuckles ] sally : i will repay you every penny that you gave to c.j . for this property . but honestly , i have no idea how i 'm gon na repay you for your generosity and compassion that you 've shown me . you are helping spectra rise from the ashes , and there are no words to describe the gratitude that i feel for you , liam . it 's really not cliché to say ... i ca n't thank you enough . ridge : oh , man , i should have gone to il giardino 's to get you some of that lavender panna cotta . brooke : oh , wow , that sounds good . ridge : you know what ? i 'll go now . brooke : no ! no . do n't bother . ridge : i just want to make you happy . you know what ? but i should n't bother . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na call r.j. at the office and tell him to get it , deliver it here . food emergency . brooke : [ chuckles ] it 's not an emergency . i 'm fine . ridge : you 're not fine . do n't pretend with me . you 're stressed . brooke : i 'm tired . ridge : oh , i got good news . i will talk to the boss and get you some time off . brooke : oh . i just saw her . i should have asked her myself . ridge : you take as much time as you need to figure this out . and when you do , i 'm gon na be right here . i 've experienced life without you , and i did n't like it . i do n't want to do it again . shirley : sally spectra , are you going to san francisco with liam ? sally : how do you think i would look in go - go boots ? shirley : sally spectra , you little minx ! [ gasps ] sally : it 's a business trip , grams . he 's meeting with an architecture firm there , and he thinks they can help us with the building . shirley : oh . and they do n't have architects in los angeles ? sally : the firm already has an agreement with spencer . bill was gon na use them to help build his skyscraper . they know the location . shirley : [ giggles ] ai n't that perfect . bill spencer 's getting a lesson in karma . or at least not ticking off his son . sally : it is not like that , grams , okay ? liam is just trying to help out . shirley : mm - hmm . sally : okay , i know it sounds like a bunch of bleeding heart mumbo jumbo , but i think it 's sweet . shirley : sweet ? the boy is scrumptious . i do n't know how you do it , sally . you work some kind of magic , but you are going on a trip with the handsome , extremely wealthy and powerful liam spencer . sally : i wonder how steffy 's gon na feel about that . steffy : i was honest with her . she needs to know what could happen . liam : steffy , brooke does n't need to be told what my dad is capable of . she sees him for who he is . steffy : she loves him . and if she ends their marriage , she might not get another chance . liam : you 're advocating for my dad ? steffy : i just want her to be aware of the stakes . liam : you do n't want brooke with , oh , your dad ? steffy : if she wants to go back to my dad , that 's fine . i just want her to be sure . liam : for your dad 's sake , right ? steffy : for her sake . bill only gives you a few chances . you use them up , he wo n't give you anymore . liam : [ sighing ] okay . steffy : fine , fine . i am done talking about bill . okay , let 's talk about your -- your trip . i really wish i could go . liam : yeah , i wish you could , too . although you probably would n't like the company . i asked sally to go with me . steffy : sally spectra ? ridge : i have learned my lesson . it took a little while 'cause i got a thick head , but i 'm never gon na let you down again . brooke : if we really learned our lessons , we would n't have to say `` never . `` ridge : well -- well , this is different . this is the be all and the end all here . i love you , and with all this stuff , it just makes me love you more . brooke : ridge ... ridge : i just -- let me know when you 're ready . i 'll be waiting . brooke : [ chuckles ] okay , well , you may be waiting for a very long time . and by then , i might have a lot of wrinkles , so ... ridge : oh . what -- what about a walker ? you gon na have a walker , too ? brooke : yeah , it 's possible . i could have a walker . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : and i might just lose my memory . ridge : that could be a good thing , because then you would forget all the stupid stuff that i 've done , and that would remind you every day how much i love you and how much you love me . brooke : [ laughs ] okay . ridge : so we 'd be on the porch , and i 'd take care of you always . brooke : on the porch . ridge : yeah . brooke : that 's cute . picturing us in our twilight years . just when i thought you were anxious to get me in lingerie . and that 'll never happen , by the way . but i am flattered that you would suggest it . ridge : oh , man . i always think of you in lingerie . brooke : my , my , ridge forrester . i guess that will never change . ridge : mnh - mnh . steffy : you 're taking sally spectra to san francisco ?

nikolas : uh , i take it you 're not still debating a spa day ? maxie : elizabeth , at some point , you 're going to have to take care of yourself , and what you 're doing -- excuse me , not doing -- is not fair to you or anyone else . nikolas : ok . ok . maxie , i appreciate that you 're trying to help with all of this stuff , but she does n't need any more pressure right now . maxie : could you please just tell him what 's going on ? elizabeth : ok . i will . [ scene_break ] lucky : my dad 's basically been drunk since the night he found out he hit jake . you know , he 's in a tailspin . he 's drowning in guilt , punishing himself . sam : yeah . and jason is so angry with luke . he 's grieving for jake . i mean , he told me today just a few hours ago that he 's afraid he 's going to do something that he ca n't take back . lucky : that 's exactly what my dad has in mind . [ scene_break ] luke : i 'll take the hardware back now , if you do n't mind . sonny : i do n't know what kind of friend i 'd be , but i bet you wave this around at jason so he 'd have an excuse to kill you . you got to understand something right now . it 's not the solution . in the long run , this is going to cause a lot more problems . luke : with all due respect , my friend , that is not your call to make . [ scene_break ] michael : you had it right from the start . i threatened brandon in the alley , and jason stopped me . you have that on video . he brought me back to his place . i got mad , and i left , and i went back to vaughn 's -- jason : michael , just stop -- michael : no . and i knew brandon would show up eventually . i waited for him . i already had a gun on me . and abby was nowhere near the club . she had no idea what was going on . then he showed up , and i shot him in the head twice . abby : michael , stop lying . dante : this is obviously a false confession . ronnie : no , it sounds pretty credible to me . here 's your last chance . a confession from you will trump his any day of the week .

[ scene_break ] sam : look , luke was n't threatening to me at all . he was n't trying to intimidate me . this was about provoking jason , and it could happen , because jason is right on the edge . lucky : i 've been so wrapped up in my own anger and grief , i have n't been able to see how much trouble my dad 's really in . sam : yeah . lucky , we 've got to keep them away from each other . lucky : no , i agree . where is jason now ? sam : um , michael called him down to the pcpd . i do n't know all the details , but i guess ronnie brought abby in for brandon 's murder . lucky : ok . so if jason is focused on michael right now , that might buy me enough time to deal with my dad . man . i just should have never let things get this far . sam : lucky , i 'm really sorry . i mean , if there 's anything that i can do -- lucky : there is , actually . just do n't tell jason that my dad came over here . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know what it 's like to watch someone pay for the way you live , for what you 've done . the guilt is crippling , overwhelming . luke : you never killed a kid , sonny . sonny : i got one shot . i did n't go visit michael in the institution when he was in a coma , and a lot of people said i was terrible for not going . but i did not want to go in there , see my kid tied up to a bed for the rest of his life because he took a bullet that was meant for me . if i 'd have seen my boy like that , the guilt would have killed me . luke : michael woke up . jake is n't going to wake up . sonny : there are other people involved in this , luke . luke : yeah , i know . that 's what people keep telling me . sonny : listen . i 'm just telling you i understand . i understand the guilt . it hits you , goes away , comes back . and your head 's telling you that , you know -- you can get through it , you know ? but that pain , you do n't deserve for that pain to go away . luke : i can handle the pain , brother . but justice is justice . i hit a 4-year- old and kept driving . the boy died . just happened to be the same kid that jason dumped on lucky to raise . sonny : is that why you want jason to take you out , because he 's jake 's father ? [ scene_break ] ronnie : you knew michael was going to shoot brandon , so you took care of it for him . you protected him then , so protect him now by confessing . let the kid spend the night with his girlfriend , not the late bus to pentonville . dante : you ca n't just keep pushing it till you get the confession you want . abby : listen , michael . i did not kill brandon . you do n't have to protect me . michael : i am not going to let them lock you up . jason : diane 's on her way . just wait for her . ronnie : oh , good . diane -- dante : look , you do n't get it . we have a solid eyewitness , ok ? this guy was a regular at the club . he saw abby shoot brandon . that 's how he recognized her . michael : how is a guy who goes to a strip club a solid witness ? he 's probably drunk , or somebody paid him off . dante : abby , because of the abuse , the da 's probably going to want to cut a deal with you . michael : she does n't need a deal . she did n't do anything . jason : hey , just calm down . let 's go . michael : no . you can go if you want . there 's no way i 'm leaving abby alone . [ scene_break ] nikolas : ok . i do n't mean to be rude , but you seem awfully interested in elizabeth all of a sudden . i thought you guys were sworn enemies . what 's -- maxie : well , unlike the cassadines , i do n't believe in holding a grudge forever . and i know what it 's like to lose a family member . i 'm not saying losing my sister is anything like what it feels like to lose a child , but i have a pretty good idea of what elizabeth is going through . and i 'm also very grateful to you and lucky for deciding to donate jake 's organs . you guys made a really difficult decision in the middle of a tragedy as a couple , which only proves that you and lucky are still in love with each other . and i had a part in breaking them up . i thought it would be the least i could do to try and get them back together . nikolas : oh . i do n't know . maybe you should tell lucky how you feel before he marries siobhan . elizabeth : he 's made his choice . we just need to respect that . maxie : siobhan does n't even know about it . elizabeth : she 's not going to turn him down . nikolas : she might . and she knows that lucky 's focus right now is his family , and she does n't want to get in the way of that . maxie : what are you waiting for ? lucky needs you , and i have a feeling you would know exactly what to say to him to make this tragedy a little easier to get through . elizabeth : i already told him that i was fine with him marrying siobhan . she makes him happy . maxie : not as happy as he could be . not even close . [ scene_break ] sam : come on , lucky . you know jason and i do n't keep secrets from each other . i ca n't promise not to tell him that luke -- lucky : ok . just try to stall him for as long as possible . i need a little time to pull something together . sam : wait . like what ? lucky : i do n't know . just -- i need to make some phone calls . i 'll give you the details as soon as i can . but just for now , keep jason away from my dad , please . sam : ok . um , well , i can tell him that luke did n't scare me or threaten me or anything , and that it was just the booze talking . lucky : no , i would n't do that . i mean , jason thinks that jake would still be alive if my dad had n't been drinking . and he 's probably right . but do you have any idea where my dad went ? sam : yeah . he said he was going to be at the haunted star , in his office , specifically . lucky , i went to sonny . i was scared . i did n't know what else to do . and i said maybe he could reason with him , anyway . lucky : i thought the same thing . but you ca n't reason with a drunk on a binge . i mean , jason tried to reason with me when i was using . i would n't listen . if he 'd treated me the same way i 've been treating my dad , i 'd probably never have gotten clean . sam : lucky , um , i 'm really scared that jason 's not going to forgive luke for this . lucky : he should n't have to . but this is my father we 're talking about , you know ? and he -- he never turned his back on me when i was out of control . he did n't judge me . he was always there for me . and now , he needs me . so i do n't care what he did or what state he 's in . he 's my dad , and i love him . i 'm not going to let him down . [ scene_break ] sonny : you think it 's fair to trick jason into killing you ? luke : [ laughs ] i do n't give a crap about jason . why did he give jake up in the first place ? why did lucky agree to raise him ? why did n't jason take jake back when lucky and elizabeth split up ? sonny : he made a decision . he did n't feel good about it , and he regrets giving up jake . and he would regret killing you . luke : oh , come on . he ai n't going to regret killing me . would you if i 'd run down one of your kids ? would you regret putting me in a body bag ? come on . sonny : ok . let 's say you died , right ? how do you think lulu would feel about that ? luke : lulu would be ok . she 's a spencer . sonny : ethan ? luke : ethan does n't need me . he never did . sonny : tracy loves you . she does n't deserve this . luke : no , she does n't . she deserves a hell of a lot better than me . and she 'll get it , too . they 're all going to be ok . they 're survivors . and come on . it 's not even going to be messy , man . there will be no bloodstains . there will be no body . jason 's damn good at what he does . it will be like i just went on one of my little trips , only i wo n't come back . sonny : and what about lucky ? how do you think he 's going to feel having to spend the rest of his life looking for you ? [ scene_break ] sam : any word from luke ? lucky : uh , no . no one 's seen him , which means you 're probably right , he 's at the haunted star . sam : ok , look . i was thinking about it , and ok , i 'm not going to lie to jason . but jason knows you , lucky . i mean , you gave jake a family . lucky : he does n't owe me anything . it was a privilege and a gift to be jake 's father . and besides that , it was partly my fault that my dad was behind the wheel that night . he was on his way to my wedding . and i knew he was drinking . he was always drinking . i should have done something a long time ago . sam : what are you talking about ? you 're not responsible for your father 's drinking . lucky : no , but i 'm -- i am responsible for letting him know how it affects the people he loves . look , sam , just tell jason i 'm sorry that my dad came over , and that i 'm through pretending my dad does n't have a problem . i 'm going to do everything i can . i 'm going to give him a chance to get some help . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've known you for a long time , luke . you settled in port charles because that 's what 's laura wanted for lulu . you traveled with lucky when he was a kid . you could have easily left him behind . you did n't . and ethan , you opened your arms to him . luke : i love my kids , all three of them . they 're a spectacular crew . sonny : i 'm not telling you how to live your life or how to end it . i 'm just trying to tell you , look . think about lucky . he just lost his son . jake 's his son like michael 's my son . if he loses his dad , i mean , it 's -- if you die , you know -- luke : i have already hurt him more than anybody could ever hurt him . he 's so desperate to blame the booze because it hurts him too much to blame me . sonny : all right . you know how hard it is for me to forgive , right ? and i had n't been able to do that for a long time because i could n't forgive myself . but that 's no way to live . that 's a young man 's way to live . and it starts piling up and piling up . you make mistakes . people make mistakes . if you ca n't forgive them , if you ca n't forgive yourself , it starts eating at you . luke : and i am proving your point right now . sonny : i 'm not telling you you 've got to forgive right now . i 'm just saying , can you just consider -- consider it for , you know , for a second ? luke : it 's too late , sonny . sonny : you know my medications , right , that i have to take every day ? it 's like , i hate it . i hate it to death . but the reason i got to do it because i got -- because my children need their dad . so if you think about it like that , like it 's something that has to be done ... luke : i respect you , corinthos , more than any man i know . but we are very different animals . and we 're very different fathers . now , lucky and i have survived a hell of a lot -- all those sadistic games that helena played with him , kidnapping him and brainwashing him . we survived his finding out what really happened between me and his mother . i was a lying , unfaithful husband . we survived his finding out about a bastard brother . we even survived him becoming a cop . but not this . this little boy 's life had n't even begun , man . you come back from this . i 've had a damn good life , for the most part , but it is over . sonny , it is over . [ scene_break ] anthony : i think we 're going to enjoy this time together . ooh . this gift we were given . we 'll be a couple of bachelors just hanging out , looking for a little action now and then . johnny : you 're delusional . anthony : oh , it was a good idea to cultivate michael as a friend . but why cultivate one rose when you could be planting an entire garden ? see , you think too small , john . you always have . now , i was hoping that once you were free of your whore of a sis -- johnny : one more word about claudia , one more , and i will toss your ass off that balcony so fast . anthony : i love your temper , johnny . it 's when you 're most like me . johnny : you stay out of my dealings with michael . you understand me ? anthony : you can not compete with michael 's loyalty to sonny and jason . johnny : so i set it up like he 's making his own decision , like the two families are working together . it 's worked before . anthony : yeah , and it was wonderful , except for the part where i went to prison . johnny : you went too damn far . you always do . anthony : your instincts are good , john , and i 'm glad you 're starting to think about growing the company . but we definitely need michael as leverage , and we 'll need to control him completely . and i 'm ready to make that happen . [ scene_break ] michael : i want to see abby . jason : i 'd like to speak to her first , if that 's possible . michael : jason , she did n't kill brandon . you have to help her . just promise her that we 'll get her out of here . jason : i 'm going to do what i can . dante : last time i checked , neither one of you is an attorney , ok ? you have no right to go and talk to her . how many rules am i supposed to bend tonight , michael ? michael : i 'm asking you as my brother . just -- please . dante : what , the brother who just punched me in the face ? michael : dante , please . just let us -- let us see abby . dante : fine . you owe me . ronnie , can you come out here for a minute ? ronnie : someone inspired to confess ? dante : jason . ronnie : you 're not going to let him go talk to her ? dante : do n't make me regret this . ok ? please ? abby : get michael out of here before he gets into more trouble . jason : the best way for you to help michael is to tell me the truth . did you kill brandon ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's not up to you or me to make decisions for elizabeth or lucky . maxie : why is it so terrible for me to want to see them happy ? nikolas : maxie , i 'm just -- you and i both know the guilt that we feel over the pain that we caused , but we ca n't control the situation just to make ourselves feel better . we have to respect them enough to let them work this out themselves . maxie : well , i do n't see that happening unless everybody knows the truth . elizabeth : i ca n't expect lucky to get me through losing jake . i ca n't expect him to always be my hero . maxie : you have the chance to help him . why wo n't you take it ? elizabeth : he 's going to marry siobhan . he has every right to be happy . and i am not going to stand in his way . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm glad you called . lucky : how 's my dad ? sonny : drunk , self - destructing . i wanted to pull him out of that office and take him to the island and dry him out . lucky : it would n't help . sonny : i 've never seen him like this . even with the fire , when he thought you were dead , he was grieving , he was afraid for you , and he wanted to kill the rest of the world , me and jason included . but he was still luke , yeah ? himself . now , he 's punishing himself . the guilt is killing him . lucky : you think i should go over there ? sonny : well , i mean , it depends on what you plan on doing , because i tell you one thing he does not need is another fight . lucky : i do n't want to fight with him anymore . i 'm not mad at him , sonny . just -- i 'm afraid for him . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't care if you did it . brandon got what he deserved . but i ca n't help you or michael unless i know what really happened . abby : i did n't kill brandon . but i 'll say i did to save michael . and there 's enough evidence to support a confession from me , especially with the eyewitness . jason : is there any idea what that 's about ? abby : somebody 's obviously setting me up . i do n't know why . but better me than michael . jason : why do you care so much ? abby : because he 's worth it . michael did n't just save me from being raped . he gave me my life back . you know , i was so shut down , and michael changed that . i ca n't really explain it , you know ? jason : you do n't have to . you do n't have to . abby : i will take my chances with the battered woman defense . diane can probably sell it to a jury . jason : but you should n't have to go through a trial when you 're innocent . abby : i have a better chance of acquittal than michael does . jason : i believe that you would take the fall for michael , but it would have the complete opposite effect . michael needs you . the only way to make this right for him is for you to go free . abby : i am so sorry i dragged michael into this , that brandon ever showed up again . [ sighs ] jason : i 'm actually grateful . yeah , michael is afraid for you right now , but he 's handling this . he 's strong , and that 's because of you . i mean , you 've helped him out a lot . abby : hey . michael : you are going to get out of here , ok ? i promise you . abby : it 's strange , you know . i spent so much time alone , i never wanted to count on anyone ever again . but i count on you , michael . we 'll get through this , ok ? [ scene_break ] maxie : if lucky knew that aiden was his son , he would not marry siobhan . he would be happy , and you would have him back in a heartbeat . elizabeth : and then , his relationship with his brother would be destroyed . maxie : one , they would get over it . and two , why is lucky 's relationship with nikolas more important than his relationship with the son he does n't even know he has ? elizabeth : lucky wants to marry siobhan . if i tell him about aiden , he 's going to let her go . and that 's just one more loss i do n't want to be responsible for . maxie : elizabeth , i know you blame yourself for jake 's death , and i know you think you do n't deserve lucky because of that . but the worst , most painful way you could punish yourself for losing your son is to let lucky slip away . [ scene_break ] lucky : dad 's lived a pretty hard life . and at some point , it has to catch up with you . but i always thought he was above all of that somehow , you know . like , he could always talk his way out of any problem , run any con , survive any heart attack . i just never saw him as an ordinary mortal . sonny : the thing about your dad is you know he grew up with an abusive father who beat him and bobbie and anybody else who got in his way . and i think that -- and i can identify with this -- he does n't want to become his dad . lucky : but he 's not . he never was . that 's the thing . i mean , i had an incredible childhood . i hardly got yelled at , you know . i mean , me , my dad , and my mom , we were a team . and that was when he was happiest , when we were a family . we were underground living on the road . sonny : for years , he tried to be the best father he can be . and he made a lot of mistakes . we all do . but he tried real hard at being a good father . lucky : i know . sonny : and he would n't do anything deliberately to hurt you . and he ran down your kid , you know ? so i think part of him feels like he ran over you . as hard as he tried to be a great father , that died when your boy died . look . what he said to me was he thinks that you 're blaming the alcohol 'cause you ca n't stand to blame him . lucky : i do n't know , man . maybe . i mean , look . the booze has been an issue for years . we just looked the other way . sonny : i know that , you know , you 're going to forgive him eventually , but i 'm just saying to you that i do n't think he can forgive himself . lucky : no . he 's not going to be able to . as long as he 's burying the pain with alcohol and running from everything , he 's not going to be able to forgive himself . sonny : i used to love seeing you two together -- i do n't know if i ever told you -- because it made me want to be a father , 'cause i 'd see luke , and i thought , `` hey , you know , if he can do it after everything he 's been through , i can do it , too . `` lucky : you know , i think i still have some pictures from that camping trip -- sonny : oh , in the woods , yeah , where you forced us to pierce your ear with the fish hook . and what did you put on -- we put something on it -- lucky : bourbon , probably . sonny : no , tequila . [ lucky and sonny laugh ] sonny : i tell you what , you could have got infected . lucky : yeah . well , you know , my dad had a pierced ear , so i had to have one . i always wanted to be just like him . i think that 's , you know -- i mean , i 'm sure that 's probably why i fought him so hard and why i was so devastated when i found out he was human after all . see , even with that , i always assumed that i could dump all my anger on him 'cause he could take it . i never thought that he would actually break down . you never think that your father is going to let his demons take over . sonny : look . your dad does not want you to see him like the guy who ran over your kid , ok ? we all know -- we all know that drinking and driving is wrong . lucky : yes . sonny : ok . but just think about it -- just for a second -- the responsibility that he has to carry around with him every minute . lucky : sonny , he is responsible . sonny : i know . lucky : that 's the thing . he made a choice to drink and drive , ok ? he 's a high functioning alcoholic , and he 's been that way for years . i mean , we just looked the other day because i do n't think any of us really understood that dad can mess up this bad , and that a child would have to pay for it . and now , my dad 's in freefall . sonny : what are you going to do ? lucky : i do n't know . i guess i 'm going to try to catch him . [ scene_break ] dante : michael said you like these . abby : thanks . dante : thank you for getting my brother out of here . abby : i only want what 's best for michael . dante : i know . i meant what i said before , about you being great for my brother . look . you were brave to file charges against brandon , and i know it must have been tough with that lawyer , angela dwyer , threatening to provoke him on the stand and get brandon out on bail . abby : it was . dante : i 'm afraid for my brother . abby : so am i . dante : and we 'd both probably do whatever it takes to keep him from going back to pentonville , right ? my brother 's invested in you , abby . that 's one of the reasons why i want help . abby : what 's happening between me and michael is not one - sided . he saved my life , too . dante : you 're not going to talk to me , right ? oh . i just hope to god you did n't say anything to jason , and he 's out there right now putting together a cover - up , 'cause that would be the worst thing you could do . you know , you could get out of this pretty easily with a plea bargain . diane miller is going to put together a deal that is better than most . the best thing for michael is to resolve this as soon as possible . abby : i hate brandon , and i should have never dropped those charges . but i did n't kill him . and no amount of lattes or family small talk or you acting like you actually give a damn is going to make me say i did .

[ scene_break ] dante : yeah , i used to believe that things were black and white , right or wrong . and then , i found out sonny was my father and michael was my brother . i will always protect michael , even though he does n't always make it easy . but at the same time , i 'm a cop , abby , and i really have to find out what happened here . abby : i did n't do it . neither did michael . dante : i understand you do n't trust the system . but if you killed brandon , you had good reason . there was a pattern of violence . you were fearing for your life . abby : come on , detective . i dropped the charges , had no restraining order , did n't follow through with any of my prior attacks . you told me this all yourself . a good prosecutor can easily make it look like i set brandon up . that would mean premeditated murder . i could spend the rest of my life in prison . i do n't know what 's really going on here . but if you care about michael as much as you say you do , then you will stop harassing me , and you will start trying to find out . dante : all right . let 's assume that you 're right . it was a set - up . let 's assume that you and michael and jason had nothing to do with it . who would want to make it look like you did ?

[ scene_break ] sam : look , luke was n't threatening to me at all . he was n't trying to intimidate me . this was about provoking jason , and it could happen , because jason is right on the edge . lucky : i 've been so wrapped up in my own anger and grief , i have n't been able to see how much trouble my dad 's really in . sam : yeah . lucky , we 've got to keep them away from each other . lucky : no , i agree . where is jason now ? sam : um , michael called him down to the pcpd . i do n't know all the details , but i guess ronnie brought abby in for brandon 's murder . lucky : ok . so if jason is focused on michael right now , that might buy me enough time to deal with my dad . man . i just should have never let things get this far . sam : lucky , i 'm really sorry . i mean , if there 's anything that i can do -- lucky : there is , actually . just do n't tell jason that my dad came over here . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know what it 's like to watch someone pay for the way you live , for what you 've done . the guilt is crippling , overwhelming . luke : you never killed a kid , sonny . sonny : i got one shot . i did n't go visit michael in the institution when he was in a coma , and a lot of people said i was terrible for not going . but i did not want to go in there , see my kid tied up to a bed for the rest of his life because he took a bullet that was meant for me . if i 'd have seen my boy like that , the guilt would have killed me . luke : michael woke up . jake is n't going to wake up . sonny : there are other people involved in this , luke . luke : yeah , i know . that 's what people keep telling me . sonny : listen . i 'm just telling you i understand . i understand the guilt . it hits you , goes away , comes back . and your head 's telling you that , you know -- you can get through it , you know ? but that pain , you do n't deserve for that pain to go away . luke : i can handle the pain , brother . but justice is justice . i hit a 4-year- old and kept driving . the boy died . just happened to be the same kid that jason dumped on lucky to raise . sonny : is that why you want jason to take you out , because he 's jake 's father ? [ scene_break ] ronnie : you knew michael was going to shoot brandon , so you took care of it for him . you protected him then , so protect him now by confessing . let the kid spend the night with his girlfriend , not the late bus to pentonville . dante : you ca n't just keep pushing it till you get the confession you want . abby : listen , michael . i did not kill brandon . you do n't have to protect me . michael : i am not going to let them lock you up . jason : diane 's on her way . just wait for her . ronnie : oh , good . diane -- dante : look , you do n't get it . we have a solid eyewitness , ok ? this guy was a regular at the club . he saw abby shoot brandon . that 's how he recognized her . michael : how is a guy who goes to a strip club a solid witness ? he 's probably drunk , or somebody paid him off . dante : abby , because of the abuse , the da 's probably going to want to cut a deal with you . michael : she does n't need a deal . she did n't do anything . jason : hey , just calm down . let 's go . michael : no . you can go if you want . there 's no way i 'm leaving abby alone .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you think it 's fair to trick jason into killing you ? luke : [ laughs ] i do n't give a crap about jason . why did he give jake up in the first place ? why did lucky agree to raise him ? why did n't jason take jake back when lucky and elizabeth split up ? sonny : he made a decision . he did n't feel good about it , and he regrets giving up jake . and he would regret killing you . luke : oh , come on . he ai n't going to regret killing me . would you if i 'd run down one of your kids ? would you regret putting me in a body bag ? come on . sonny : ok . let 's say you died , right ? how do you think lulu would feel about that ? luke : lulu would be ok . she 's a spencer . sonny : ethan ? luke : ethan does n't need me . he never did . sonny : tracy loves you . she does n't deserve this . luke : no , she does n't . she deserves a hell of a lot better than me . and she 'll get it , too . they 're all going to be ok . they 're survivors . and come on . it 's not even going to be messy , man . there will be no bloodstains . there will be no body . jason 's damn good at what he does . it will be like i just went on one of my little trips , only i wo n't come back . sonny : and what about lucky ? how do you think he 's going to feel having to spend the rest of his life looking for you ? [ scene_break ] sam : any word from luke ? lucky : uh , no . no one 's seen him , which means you 're probably right , he 's at the haunted star . sam : ok , look . i was thinking about it , and ok , i 'm not going to lie to jason . but jason knows you , lucky . i mean , you gave jake a family . lucky : he does n't owe me anything . it was a privilege and a gift to be jake 's father . and besides that , it was partly my fault that my dad was behind the wheel that night . he was on his way to my wedding . and i knew he was drinking . he was always drinking . i should have done something a long time ago . sam : what are you talking about ? you 're not responsible for your father 's drinking . lucky : no , but i 'm -- i am responsible for letting him know how it affects the people he loves . look , sam , just tell jason i 'm sorry that my dad came over , and that i 'm through pretending my dad does n't have a problem . i 'm going to do everything i can . i 'm going to give him a chance to get some help .

[ sighs ] jason : i 'm actually grateful . yeah , michael is afraid for you right now , but he 's handling this . he 's strong , and that 's because of you . i mean , you 've helped him out a lot . abby : hey . michael : you are going to get out of here , ok ? i promise you . abby : it 's strange , you know . i spent so much time alone , i never wanted to count on anyone ever again . but i count on you , michael . we 'll get through this , ok ? [ scene_break ] maxie : if lucky knew that aiden was his son , he would not marry siobhan . he would be happy , and you would have him back in a heartbeat . elizabeth : and then , his relationship with his brother would be destroyed . maxie : one , they would get over it . and two , why is lucky 's relationship with nikolas more important than his relationship with the son he does n't even know he has ? elizabeth : lucky wants to marry siobhan . if i tell him about aiden , he 's going to let her go . and that 's just one more loss i do n't want to be responsible for . maxie : elizabeth , i know you blame yourself for jake 's death , and i know you think you do n't deserve lucky because of that . but the worst , most painful way you could punish yourself for losing your son is to let lucky slip away . [ scene_break ] lucky : dad 's lived a pretty hard life . and at some point , it has to catch up with you . but i always thought he was above all of that somehow , you know . like , he could always talk his way out of any problem , run any con , survive any heart attack . i just never saw him as an ordinary mortal . sonny : the thing about your dad is you know he grew up with an abusive father who beat him and bobbie and anybody else who got in his way . and i think that -- and i can identify with this -- he does n't want to become his dad . lucky : but he 's not . he never was . that 's the thing . i mean , i had an incredible childhood . i hardly got yelled at , you know . i mean , me , my dad , and my mom , we were a team . and that was when he was happiest , when we were a family . we were underground living on the road . sonny : for years , he tried to be the best father he can be . and he made a lot of mistakes . we all do . but he tried real hard at being a good father . lucky : i know . sonny : and he would n't do anything deliberately to hurt you . and he ran down your kid , you know ? so i think part of him feels like he ran over you . as hard as he tried to be a great father , that died when your boy died . look . what he said to me was he thinks that you 're blaming the alcohol 'cause you ca n't stand to blame him . lucky : i do n't know , man . maybe . i mean , look . the booze has been an issue for years . we just looked the other way . sonny : i know that , you know , you 're going to forgive him eventually , but i 'm just saying to you that i do n't think he can forgive himself . lucky : no . he 's not going to be able to . as long as he 's burying the pain with alcohol and running from everything , he 's not going to be able to forgive himself . sonny : i used to love seeing you two together -- i do n't know if i ever told you -- because it made me want to be a father , 'cause i 'd see luke , and i thought , `` hey , you know , if he can do it after everything he 's been through , i can do it , too . `` lucky : you know , i think i still have some pictures from that camping trip -- sonny : oh , in the woods , yeah , where you forced us to pierce your ear with the fish hook . and what did you put on -- we put something on it -- lucky : bourbon , probably . sonny : no , tequila .

maggie : sonny , i do n't have the words to express my deepest sadness and my terrible guilt at having caused the death of your wonderful mother . sonny : well , maggie , you know , in the beginning , i did blame you for the accident because i needed to blame someone because it was less painful for me to be angry than to deal with the grief that i eventually did . and i know that you loved my mom and she loved you . and if she was here right now , she would want you to be forgiven . maggie : that 's kind of you to say . and i agree that adrienne would have -- she would have found it in that big kind heart of hers to forgive me . and her big heart is the reason she was so determined to help my daughter that night , driving her to the hospital when she went into labor . sarah said that your mom was badly injured in the crash , but she was so brave . she was concerned about sarah more than herself . and because of that , my granddaughter came safely into this world . sarah : you know , not too long ago , it just -- i do n't know , it felt like my whole life was crumbling around me . and now ... now everything is perfect . mickey is gon na be okay . and we 're engaged . and we can just finally start planning our lives together . xander : nicole 's been suspicious ever since i insisted tate get tested to save mickey . victor : i warned you at the time that it was dangerous , but did you listen ?

maggie : sonny , i do n't have the words to express my deepest sadness and my terrible guilt at having caused the death of your wonderful mother . sonny : well , maggie , you know , in the beginning , i did blame you for the accident because i needed to blame someone because it was less painful for me to be angry than to deal with the grief that i eventually did . and i know that you loved my mom and she loved you . and if she was here right now , she would want you to be forgiven . maggie : that 's kind of you to say . and i agree that adrienne would have -- she would have found it in that big kind heart of hers to forgive me . and her big heart is the reason she was so determined to help my daughter that night , driving her to the hospital when she went into labor . sarah said that your mom was badly injured in the crash , but she was so brave . she was concerned about sarah more than herself . and because of that , my granddaughter came safely into this world . sarah : you know , not too long ago , it just -- i do n't know , it felt like my whole life was crumbling around me . and now ... now everything is perfect . mickey is gon na be okay . and we 're engaged . and we can just finally start planning our lives together . xander : nicole 's been suspicious ever since i insisted tate get tested to save mickey . victor : i warned you at the time that it was dangerous , but did you listen ? xander : you 're the one that contacted theresa behind brady 's back , blew it all up again . victor : and i 'm sure you were the picture of discretion with dr . raynor ? nice quiet place , no prying eyes . xander : nicole may have happened upon us at an inopportune moment . victor : damn it . that ex - wife of ours is like a bitch with a bone . she 's never gon na let it go . sarah : xander ? what 's wrong ? xander : nothing . actually , you said it . everything is perfect . sarah : yeah , but that look that you just had on your face . xander , i know you . i can sense when something 's off , so just tell me what 's wrong . nicole : i just came from a doctor 's appointment . you know , routine checkup , nothing for you to worry about . and i 'm just waiting here for the results of my bloodwork . what ? what 's so funny ? why are you looking at me like that ? eric : i just had a thought . nicole : what ? what thought ? eric : are you -- are you pregnant ? ciara : you okay ? ben : yeah . just taking it all in . ciara : what ? ben : this . what do you mean what ? this , all this . ciara , when i first went to prison , this is all i dreamed about , just walking through the square , my beautiful ciara by my side , being free to do whatever i want , come and go as i please , go wherever i want when i want . ciara : and that is not a dream anymore . ben : mm - mm . definitely not . ciara : no . so now that you are free to do whatever you want , whenever you want , what would you like to do first ? hope : kayla ? why is it you do n't want to talk about you and steve ? kayla : uh ... hope : is it because you 're protecting yourself ? are you afraid ? is that it ? are you afraid that when he 's found , you wo n't be able to get the real steve back ? kayla : no . no , that 's not it . listen , right now , all i care about is him coming out of this safely and with no ill effects just like you . but when that happens , god willing , steve and i are n't gon na be together . hope : why not ? kayla : because i 'm with someone else . sonny : maggie , i respect you so much for the good person that you are . and i can see that you 're in pain , but you must n't forget that people love you , and they need you . maggie : you 're so sweet to worry about me , but i 'm -- i 'm fine . but i want a promise from the both of you , all right ? will : yeah , anything . maggie : i want you both to promise that you wo n't waste one single minute worrying about me , all right ? every single precious moment that you have together , i want you to cherish it , i want you to spend it loving each other and making up for all the time that you lost . will : i -- i think we can do that , right ? sonny : definitely . maggie : justin , i 'm glad you 're here . justin : i was over at the courthouse and another lawyer told me that you changed your plea to guilty , that you 're planning to surrender to the authorities . maggie : yes . it 's the only thing that i can do to try to -- not to make things right . nothing will ever make things right , not with adrienne gone . but i guess i should say that it 's the only way that i can go on . justin : maggie , i know how profoundly sorry you are and how much you cared about adrienne and how devastating her loss has been to you . and that is more than enough punishment . nothing that happens , nothing that any of us do now , will bring her back . and adrienne would want us to go on living and loving and finding joy wherever we can and being good to each other . you know that 's what she would want , do n't you ? [ melancholy music ] nicole : why would you ask me that ? eric : well , yesterday , you mentioned that you were late , and i know you thought it was because of the stress of working with kristen , but still , i -- nicole : i 'm not -- i 'm not pregnant . eric : well , hey , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to be insensitive . nicole : no , no , it 's all right . you were hopeful , and there 's nothing wrong with that . i sometimes am too , even though i know the odds are against me that i would ever have another baby . but what 's important now is our precious little holly . eric : and our mickey too . i talked to the doctors earlier , and they said she can come home today . sarah : no , never mind . i know what it is , why you 're on edge . you 've been worrying about mickey and worrying about me and constantly having to comfort me or talk me off of a ledge . and i know it had to be hard on you to have to ask eric for permission to see our daughter . xander : well , there were a lot of people that would have been more than happy to see me disappear from your life and mickey 's . sarah : well , that 's their problem , is n't it ? xander , these past few months , you have done so much for mickey and me . and in my whole lifetime , i have never -- i 've never had a man treat me the way that you do . xander : that 's 'cause no man has ever loved you this much . sarah : how do you know that ? xander : just a -- a gut feeling . sarah : oh , yeah ? and for me , it 's more than a gut feeling , 'cause i happen to know it 's true . so now you have to tell me what i can do to make you feel better . xander : i do have one idea . sarah : hmm ? nicole : mickey gets to come home ? that 's wonderful ! oh ! eric : it 's the best ever . nicole : yeah . lab technician : your results . eric : hey . are n't you gon na open it ? sarah : you know , the better i get to know you , in every way , the more i begin to wonder . xander : what do you wonder ? sarah : how i did n't see , early on , that you and i kind of made for each other . xander : i used to wonder about that too . i 'm so glad you finally came to your senses . sarah : now , there is nothing that you or anyone else could say that would ever make me change my mind . xander : is that a promise ? sarah : cross my heart . [ tender music ] ciara : so what did rafe say when you called him ? ben : well , i told him that i wanted to visit david . and he said that once david is settled with this whole evan and orpheus ordeal , then i can visit him whenever i want . ciara : that 's great ! ben : yeah , i know . he 's been really awesome about it . honestly , i almost asked him if he 'd mind if i crashed with the two of them just for a little while until i figure out my whole living situation . ciara : yeah , you know , i was actually thinking about that . and what if you come live with me ? i mean , we have plenty of room at the mansion . kayla : i 've been with justin for over six months . we live together . and we 're very happy . hope : you and -- wait . justin and adrienne are divorced ? kayla : no . i 'm sorry to tell you , but she passed away . hope : oh , my god . what happened ? [ melancholy music ] justin : take care , maggie . maggie : you too . sonny : this is n't goodbye . we 're gon na come visit you all the time . will : if you need anything , just let us know . justin : all you have to do is ask . maggie : you 're so good and kind . i could n't ask for anything more . sarah : mom , what 's going on ? nicole : i 'll -- i 'll just open it later . you know , like , i told you , it 's just some bloodwork . really , it 's no big deal . eric : okay , if it 's not a big deal , then why do n't you just open it ? nicole , are you not telling me something ? xander : it 's seems like mickey might be finally out of the woods with her cancer . have n't eric and sarah been through enough ? nicole : i would never want to hurt them . xander : that 's exactly what you 'll do by repeating this insane baby - switching theory , upsetting them for no reason . is that what you want ? nicole : no , of course not . xander : the last time you opened your big mouth , you almost ruined both of our happily ever afters . so trust me when i tell you mackenzie 's sarah and eric 's and drop this . eric : nicole , please . you 're obviously worried about these results . and i know you do n't want to burden me . after everything that mickey has gone through , if there 's one thing that i 've learned with her illness is that ... we can work through it . you know , secrets only make things worse . so if there 's something you want to tell me , just tell me and we can get through this together . i promise . okay . nicole : eric , no . i 'm not sick . eric : you 're not ? nicole : i swear to you , on holly 's life , it 's the truth . i 'm fine . and if i were n't , i would -- i would tell you . eric : okay . that 's a relief . nicole : i love you . eric : i love you too . listen , i hope you do n't mind , but i kind of got to get back in there . nicole : yeah , of course . give mickey a kiss for me . eric : i will . nicole : give me a kiss . [ sighs ] sarah : mom , i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry for what you 're going through . i 'm sorry . maggie : please , do n't be . as long as i have my precious daughter and my granddaughter , i 'm gon na be fine . and that 's all i need , for now . and , xander , we 've become unlikely friends because i know how much you care about my daughter . so if there 's any doubt , i want you to know that i am happy that you and sarah are getting married . you have my blessings . xander : thank you , maggie . maggie : and even though i -- i wo n't be here to look after sarah at least for a while , i 'm glad to know that you will . [ melancholy music ] hope : you and justin were both dealing with losses . kayla : yeah , but his was a death , so his loss -- well , i ca n't really compare it to me thinking that steve wanted to divorce me . but we were there , supporting each other . we were both newly single after long - term relationships . and then we just sort of realized it had become something more . ben : ciara , i really appreciate the offer , but -- ciara : but what ? what , ben ? the mansion is huge . we will have plenty of privacy , if that is what you 're worried about . ben : it 's not . it 's victor . i 'm pretty sure he 'd have a big problem with it . ciara : all right , because of the whole us thinking that it was him and xander who really killed jordan ? ben : yeah , that . ciara : yeah . you know , i do n't think he can hold a grudge for forever . ben : actually , i 'm pretty sure he can . but you know what ? the last thing i want to worry about right now is my future . i just want to be totally in this moment alone with you . and i really do n't care where . ciara : you know what ? me neither . this is our first day alone together . and i am honestly just not ready to share you with the world yet . no , i do n't want to , ben . i kind of want you all to myself right now . [ warm music ] hope : poor adrienne . she was such a wonderful woman , friend . kayla : she was all that . hope : kay , i imagine it was -- well , still is a comfort for you and justin to have each other . kayla : it 's more than a comfort . we love each other . hope : i 'm happy for you , for both of you . i 'm sorry . i just -- i ca n't help but wonder . kayla : what ? just say it . hope : now that you know that steve was n't the one who asked for the divorce , that he was n't acting of his own free will , does that change how you feel about justin ? [ uneasy music ] victor : everyone else is gone . just you and me . [ moody music ] xander : hey , you all right ? sarah : no . no , i 'm not . god , it 's just that -- that whole night was just so terrible . all adrienne wanted to do was help me . all my mom wanted to do was just see her grandbaby be born . and why ? why did my sister have to show up that night because my mom would have never relapsed if it was n't for summer just terrorizing -- xander : sarah , stop ! that 's all in the past . nothing we can do about it now . and , darling , your mother is a very strong woman . she 's gon na get through this . sarah : [ sniffs ] thank you . you 're right . eric is probably in there with mickey . xander : say no more . i 'll be waiting when you bring our little girl home . [ quiet suspenseful music ] nicole : oh , my god . for most patients that have ciara : why are n't you opening the door ? ben : because you have the key . ciara : oh , right . ben : yeah . ciara : i do . i have a key . ben : why are n't you opening the door ? ciara : actually , i 'm -- i 'm kind of nervous . my hand is shaking a little bit and my heart is -- is beating really , really hard . ben : honestly , mine too . ciara : yeah ? ben : feel it . ciara : oh , wow . yeah . yeah . it is . here , feel mine . ben : oh , wow . ciara : so both of our hearts are kind of going crazy , huh ? ben : you know what ? i think that 's a really good thing . ciara : i think so too . ben : been dreaming of this moment for so long . ciara : me too . okay . ben : you got this . ciara : okay . [ tender music ] kayla : justin , what brings you by ? justin : well , i just wanted to come by and say hello to hope . is this a bad time ? kayla : no , no . of course not . hope : no , no . i am always happy to see you . you know that . justin : feeling is mutual . i 'm so glad the procedure went well . hope : yeah , me too . i am very grateful . kayla was filling me out on everything . justin , i 'm terribly sorry about adrienne . justin : thank you . yeah , it was really , really rough , but i was lucky , because i had the love and support of friends and family . maggie : i 'm not the only one , am i ? playing at being strong . victor : all right , i 'll admit , grudgingly , that my heart is breaking right now because having you in my life , in my home , has become as essential to me as breathing . but i want you to know how proud i am of you for having the courage to do the right thing . maggie : thank you for saying that . [ sobs ] my darling victor , i 'm not worried about you at all because i know if you lean on the people that you love , you 're gon na be okay . i love you . [ ventilator hissing ] eric : i 'm sorry to hear about your mom . i do admire her courage . sarah : yeah , me too . i do n't really want to talk about it right now , though , 'cause if i do , i 'm just gon na -- i just want to focus on the good news . our little girl is gon na be okay . nicole : i do n't believe it . i thought for sure xander switched those babies . but it 's right here in black and white . according to these results , kristen is n't mackenzie 's mother . she really is sarah and eric 's little girl after all . [ uneasy music ] xander : look , i know you 'll be happy with what 's in this envelope . can i assume that i 'll be happy with what 's in the one you gave to nicole walker ? lab technician : i altered the results to say that the samples did n't match . xander : very good . there 's a little bonus in there to ensure your discretion . lab technician : i 'll take that secret to my grave .

[ the last eight minutes of today 's episode of the the young and the restless was cut off for a live special cbs news coverage of the president in orlando . we will add it as soon as possible . ] sharon : okay , time for breakfast , sweet boy ! today we have sweet potatoes and apples . how does that sound ? [ laughs ] [ door opens ] mariah : sharon ! sharon , there 's been an accident ! it 's awful ! sharon : oh , my gosh . okay . slow down . are you hurt ? mariah : no , no , no . it 's not me . it 's the other driver . she needs help . you have to call 911 right now ! sharon : okay , okay . mariah : hurry ! sharon : [ sighs ] wait . there 's no dial tone . there 's no service ! my cell . get my cell . mariah : sharon , there 's a baby in the other car . a woman and a baby ! sharon : all right . oh , my gosh . i ca n't find my cell . where is it ? mariah , use your phone ! call for help ! [ footsteps approach ] oh , my god . sage : you were supposed to help me and my baby . sharon : sage . i 'm sorry . please . i 'm so sorry . sage . sage , i 'm sorry . nick : vick late again ? luca : are you worried about how your sister is spending her time ? nick : it 's her business , not ours . luca : well , i just wanted to reassure you . victoria 's probably lost interest in her favorite bartender since she saw this . nick : and what is `` this `` ? more spying ? luca : research . and it 's compelling material . nick : is it now ? luca : turns out our friendly neighborhood bartender is n't as honest and simple as your sister thought . summer : hello . luca : summer . nick : hey , kiddo . glad you 're back . summer : hey . was n't gone that long . luca : felt like forever . summer : well , long enough for me to see you two in the same room together . you know , side by side , heads together . and , uh , not just side by side , but keeping secrets apparently . what 's going on ? victoria : [ panting ] that was , um ... travis : yeah , we 're really good at that . [ sighs ] victoria : yeah . um , it 's daytime . travis : we could pretend it is n't . victoria : yes , but pretending would mean not facing the real world , and we agreed that we would . travis : life outside the bar and this bed . you sure you 're brave enough for that ? victoria : me ? brave enough ? really ? i do n't know if you realize this , but some people are afraid of me . travis : oh , i realize that . victoria : and i can be completely fearless and in control of any given situation . travis : well , this i want to see . victoria : well , you will . we just have to figure out where we 're gon na make our mark . travis : it 's your show . victoria : i think i know just where we can make a splash . chelsea : so ? do you want to talk to me today , or are you just gon na shut me down like you did last night ? adam : listen , you know the truth , right ? i want to be able to talk to you about everything . chelsea : okay , so then why do n't you start by telling me what you were talking about with ian ward at the prison ? adam : why ca n't you just trust that some things are better if you do n't know ? why ca n't you trust that ? chelsea : okay , so obviously it 's dangerous . why do n't you tell me what it is ? adam : because i do n't want you to wind up in prison ! dylan : sharon . hey , sweetheart . sage : you swore you 'd set things straight . you live a lie every second of the day . sharon : it 's not a lie . not in my heart . i love sully like any child i could ever have . sage : his name is christian . sharon : and dylan . he 's given his whole heart to sully . if i tore them apart now ... sage : you do n't care about your husband or my baby . all you care about is yourself . sharon : mariah . mariah , tell her that 's not true . sage : you know this pain , sharon , wanting to hold your baby , needing to be with your baby . you 're torturing nicholas . he 's grieving a son who 's alive . now my baby 's gon na grow up and have his father 's smile and my eyes , and everyone 's gon na know and everyone 's going to hate you . sharon : if i tell them now , if i lose sully ... sage : there is no sully , sharon . it 's christian . and i know what you did , and i will never forget . and i will haunt your nights until you make it right . dylan : hey . it was just a dream . you were talking in your sleep . do you even know what you said ? nick : you wanted me to give luca a second chance , so that 's what i 'm doing . luca : and i 'll take it gladly . summer : well , how did that happen in such a short time ? nick : your boyfriend can be useful . at times . luca : i just -- i want to prove myself . nick sees that . and your father wants you to be happy . hopefully he sees that i want the same thing . summer : well , you still did n't answer the part about the secrets , so , uh , what 's going on ? nick : [ sighs ] nothing . it 's just some details on a deal that need to be clarified . it 's really not a big deal . summer : well , something that victoria should know about ? is she running late again ? nick : she 'll be here . i got to go . thanks for the research , luca . luca : anytime , nick . i think he 's coming around , yeah ? summer : yeah , maybe . luca : gosh , your timing 's perfect . i missed you so much . if you were gone much longer , i was gon na fly to georgia and bring you back myself . summer : yeah , you still are not answering me about the secrets . what was my dad just trying to hide from me just now ? luca : [ sighs ] okay , look , you 're right . there is something nick wants to keep private . does n't affect you , okay ? you have my word . but it is a test of my loyalty . look , if i blow it this time , i wo n't get another shot with him , summer , and i want your father on our side . summer : okay . okay . i will drop it for now . but only for now . sharon : what did i say , anyway ? dylan : well , it was weird . you were talking to sage . sharon : what about her ? dylan : you said you were sorry . sharon : oh , god . dylan : do you know why ? do you know what was happening ? sharon : it was sage 's accident . i tried to help her , but sage died and there was nothing i could do . dylan : i mean , sharon , you tried . you did your best . you did everything you could . you have nothing to feel guilty about . sage is probably at peace now knowing that you tried your best and how you 've been looking out for nick . sharon : i do n't know . i do n't know . dylan : i do . you were sage 's friend , and that matters . what is it ? please tell me what else is going on . sharon : it 's just adam 's murder case . it 's just all so dark . everything 's about death and loss . you know , you -- you live it at work , and nick is upset about sage 's name being dragged into this . dylan : i know . and you 've been really worked up since sage 's journal came out . it makes a lot of sense . either the journal is real and sage has been holding on to an ugly secret or it 's fake . either way , i 'm gon na tell you right now -- i am gon na find the truth , okay ? i promise you . so you wo n't have anything to worry about . love you . adam : it was michael . he thinks that , uh , if meredith testifies , he 's gon na remind the jury that she 's changed her story from not knowing anything about constance 's death to now all of a sudden she has all this inside information about constance 's murder . he 's also gon na bring up the fact that he thinks she 's developed an attachment for her patient . maybe she 's covering for him . chelsea : do i even want to know what kind of an attachment ? adam : well , you know , i mean , victor -- he can be pretty -- pretty charming if it means him getting out of prison . she 's probably in deep . chelsea : then she 's an idiot and i do n't pity her . so why do n't we get back to the fact that you are once again digging yourself into another hole entirely with ian ward ? adam : it 's not what i 'm doing . chelsea : yet it is what you 're doing . you said that you did n't want me going to prison , which means ... what exactly ? what are you planning to do ? and i swear , adam , if you tell me one more time to trust you ... please . trust me . adam : that 's fair . okay , fine . uh , you want to know ? ian agreed to testify that victor set me up as long as i help him ... escape from prison . travis : i forget what it 's like . victoria : oh , you 've been here before ? travis : no , i forget what it 's like to overpay for a beer . they must charge twice what i do . victoria : at least three times , and they do n't even have a jukebox or a sticky booze - soaked floor or anything . they just have a pool and an amazing view . travis : the view is excellent . you 're right about that . victoria : are you flirting with me ? travis : i 'm just stating the facts . and my floor is not sticky , okay ? i mop it every night . victoria : it 's a little sticky . [ chuckles ] summer : okay . this is where we finally find victoria . and she has a friend with her . this is why she 's always late for work ? hi . victoria : hi ! summer : i was wondering when i 'd finally get to see you . victoria : uh , yeah . how was savannah ? how is daniel and lucy ? summer : everyone is doing really great . uh , who -- who 's your friend ? victoria : um -- luca : victoria , is this that meeting you mentioned you needed to take ? victoria : no , no . this is n't business . this is personal . summer , i 'd like for you to meet luca : you know , i just remembered i need to give you an update on that callahan account . do you mind ? victoria : uh , i think that can wait . summer : you know what ? no , you go and handle business , and i am gon na talk to ... ? travis : travis crawford . summer : travis . okay . travis and i are gon na get to know each other . you can go and handle that update . victoria : all right . um , sure . why do n't you all go and chat ? summer : okay . perfect . come and sit . the iced tea here is amazing . uh , can we get two , please ? thank you . luca : what the hell are you doing with that guy ? we think he tried to bring down our company . victoria : our company ? who the hell do you think you are ? luca : victoria -- victoria : i do n't need to hear this right now . i do n't know why you think you still have a vote in my personal life . i talked to travis about what you told me about his past . luca : well , then i guess he had some slick story about why he 's hiding behind a bar pretending to be someone he 's not . and it 's a total coincidence that he was a big - time commodities trader investing in oil . you meet him , and the newman oil rig springs a leak . look , this guy 's up to something , victoria . i can feel it . summer : thanks . i 'm sorry if that was pushy of me back there . it 's just aunt victoria 's not dated anyone since her divorce , and everyone is gon na want to meet you , unless they already have . so , are you a member here ? travis : no . first time . but it 's a nice place . summer : yeah . so , um , how did you guys meet ? have you met her kids ? travis : no , i have n't , but i 'd like to . and i know victoria just went through a rough break - up . summer : yeah , that is an understatement . she and billy -- well , we were hoping that they could work things out , but that did not happen . uh , so , you know , we 're just very protective of victoria . travis : yeah . that 's the impression i get . summer : mm - hmm . we just want her to be happy . so , you did n't tell me . how did you guys meet ? dylan : so , where are we at with adam being framed or not ? paul : well , since the lab tech 's money came from pharmaceuticals and not victor , i had the team look at , uh , anybody else who might have had contact with the tissue samples or the toxicology report . dylan : well , if anybody can cover their tracks , it 's victor newman . which is why i 'm working another angle . paul : right . forgery . dylan : forgery . paul : we have nothing to indicate forgery . dylan : well , that does n't mean that we ca n't find the actual forger . okay , i got three guys right here in the system who have the skill set to accomplish exactly that . these guys right here . have you ever heard of any of them ? paul : uh ... well , i know that guy . and more importantly , so does victor . chelsea : you want to help ian ward escape again ? are you out of your mind ? adam : well , at first glance , honey , it would appear so . chelsea : that is insane ! adam : yep . chelsea : adam , that 's breaking the law . no , that 's -- that 's breaking the law in front of the law 's face . are you asking to be thrown in jail ? adam : you know what ? in case you have missed it , i 'm already facing a prison sentence . victor 's done a bang - up job of setting me up . i need ian 's testimony to establish reasonable doubt . it 's the only way i 'm gon na be able to stay here with you and connor ! do you understand that ? chelsea : so lie . tell him it 's a deal and then let him rot in jail . adam : i ca n't lie ! you understand ? if i do that , he 's gon na do the exact same thing . he 's gon na take the stand and he 's gon na testify that i colluded ! i 'm not stupid . i understand this is not an ideal situation , but it 's all we 've got . it 's our insurance policy , all right ? we have to act on it . chelsea : ian ward is insane . if you help him go free , you do realize nobody 's safe . he could come back for you or -- or for us or for anybody in genoa city . and , adam , if that happens , it will be on your head . mariah : and sage was here ? how did she look after the accident ? sharon : [ sighs ] mariah , it was -- it was so real . and the worst part was , i was talking in my sleep . dylan heard me . he heard me say `` i 'm sorry `` to sage . mariah : this is -- this is not good . you have a legit mental illness that you 're treating . you add on all of this -- stress , the guilt -- it 's eating you alive . sharon : i do n't have a choice . mariah : yes , you do ! you deal with the guilt ! do n't let it come after you in your nightmares . go see a psychiatrist . sharon : and then what would i tell her , mariah ? that i 'm committing a crime of fraud , that i 'm lying to everyone about my baby ? she would break the doctor- patient confidentiality , go straight to the police , and i would lose dylan , we would lose sully , and i would have nothing . mariah : we 'd find somebody who wo n't do that . sharon : what are we gon na do ? interview them all in advance `` where do you draw the line on crimes ? if i 've done something terrible , will you expose me ? `` mariah : you need someone to help you get through this . sharon : no stranger is gon na be able to do that .

[ chuckling ] i 'm kidding . travis : do n't forget i met nick already . i wonder who hates me more -- him or summer . victoria : oh , come on . do n't worry about summer . this had nothing to do with you . she 's just giving me a hard time because i gave her a hard time about luca and that 's all . travis : so you all just go around judging each other 's love interests ? victoria : uh , it 's not really judging . it 's just , i do n't know , it 's being cautious , i guess . travis : it 's judging . [ cellphone rings ] victoria : ay , yi , yi . it 's , uh , the office . i have to get back to work . travis : no worries . i can try an overpriced beer another time . so i 'll see you later ? victoria : no . you 'll see me now . you 're coming with me to newman tower . come on . this day is not over yet . nick : i come bearing gifts . this was delivered to my place . i 'm assuming it 's clothes for faith 's doll . just in time for summer , too . mariah : [ chuckles ] cute . super cute . i actually think that doll has more clothes than i do . sharon : uh , thanks for bringing it by , nick . mariah : so , uh , how are things ? life and such . nick : uh , life and such is moving pretty quickly . you know , can we just make a rule now that faith is never allowed to date ? sharon : i do n't think it 'll stick . mariah : are you talking about luca ? because that guy is really a tool . you 'd think even snowflake would catch on . nick : yeah , i do n't know . phyllis and i have a new plan , though . we 're gon na try and kill him with kindness . mariah : that sounds miserable for everyone involved , but good luck with that . nick : well , it 's all we 've got for now . it 's just too bad we ca n't keep them little forever , you know ? right , little guy ? keep them little forever . and they never have to move out and leave us behind . sage : i look into his eyes , and i think -- and it 's just crazy , you know ? i mean , it 's been so obvious . how did i not know ... adam : chelsea , baby , you tell me at least twice a week that i 'm nothing like my father . chelsea : yeah , and then you say things like , `` ian ward might get shot . these things happen . `` adam : well , you know what ? he 's a big boy , all right ? he can take care of himself . my job is not to take care of him . it 's to take care of you and connor . and the best way for me to do that is to be here , so if this is the way it 's got to be , then , you know , it 's the way it 's got to be . chelsea : you 're right . you totally do n't sound anything like your father . not at all . [ knock on door ] dylan , please tell us you have some good news . dylan : well , i am following up on a lead that could prove adam was framed . adam : really ? what lead ? dylan : does the name frank ellis mean anything to you ? adam : yeah , uh , right . that 's -- that 's the , uh , the forger that jack and i used to set up victor . dylan : right . paul and i were thinking that victor might have thought it was poetic justice to hire him to return the favor . adam : that 's smart , but i 'm way ahead of you . chelsea : what do you mean ? adam : well , i thought the same thing awhile back . it took me a bit , but i tracked him down . dylan : where 'd you find him ? we need to talk to this guy . adam : found him in a coffin . yeah , so he 's dead . you got any other leads that are a little more , you know , maybe alive ? dylan : that was the best lead . i mean , we 're gon na look into the other forgers , but everything 's pretty much a dead end . chelsea : i mean , there 's got to be something else , right ? something solid ? dylan : for your sake , i hope so . but the reality is ... this is when you might want to start considering a plea . victoria : so , this is it . uh , well , this is my office . travis : wow . you ever think about switching this out , maybe dogs playing poker or something ? victoria : oh , yeah , i sure do . on a daily basis , actually . but , you know , this is the safest way to meet my father . he ca n't give you his death stare or say anything brutal to you . travis : because he would n't approve of me . victoria : do n't worry . he does n't approve of anyone . travis : hmm . it sounds like a lovely guy . wish i could meet him . it 's too bad he 's , you know , incarcerated . victoria : it 's been difficult , but i know deep down he loves us all . [ sighs ] i sure have learned a lot from him . travis : like how to pass the buck ? victoria : what ? travis : `` for immediate release -- the investigation into the recent accident on an oil rig owned and operated by newman energy is now refocused on faulty parts installed by a third party contractor . `` victoria : it 's the first draft . confidential first draft . travis : it 's also a lie . summer : are we terrible for not being in the office ? luca : we have the boss 's blessing . summer : [ chuckles ] so , what do you think of victoria 's new friend ? luca : hmm , he 's a bit rough around the edges , but she seems to like him . summer : yeah . she seems a little , i do n't know , standoffish and defensive . luca : it 's in the early stages . victoria might lose interest sooner than you think . summer : yeah , i hope so . a rebound is not the answer . just , there 's something about that guy . luca : hey . did you come back to town to worry about victoria 's boyfriend or your own ? summer : [ chuckles ] okay , you are right . you 're right . i 'm sorry . i missed you . a lot . i think maybe it was a good thing being away . made me realize what an important part of my life you are . and , hey , i mean , how amazing is it that you and my dad can now be in the same room together ? maybe he just needed to realize that we are for real and we have a commitment together . maybe it 'll rub off on my mom . who knows . luca : [ sighs ] it wo n't . summer : why ? you do n't know that . luca : summer ... do you ever wonder why your brother daniel called you out of the blue for a visit ? your mom arranged it to get you out of town and away from me . nick : so , he 's a kicker , huh ? did you know that when you were pregnant with him , that he 'd a soccer player ? yeah , i know . could we get him out of his cage ? mariah : um , actually , he needs to go upstairs for his nap 'cause he 's getting really sleepy . yes , he is . nick : oh , yeah . sure . sharon : [ sighs ] she 's so attentive and helpful with him . nick : yeah , sully really hit it big in the big - sister department , huh ? sharon : he 's lucky . nick : yeah . are you okay ? yeah , you look tired . i mean , i know women do n't like to hear that . it 's just ... sharon : um , just late nights , you know . sully 's teething . it 'll pass . nick : is that the only thing that 's keeping you up ? sage : will you promise me you 'll tell nick that it 's his baby ? nick : ooh . sharon , are you okay ? look , if you need to tell me anything , you know you can trust [ missing portion ] | sage appeared in sharon 's dreams , and she blasted sharon for not giving christian to nick . dylan overheard sharon apologizing to sage in her sleep . after some pressure from chelsea , adam admitted he 'd agreed to help ian escape in exchange for ian 's testimony at his trial . chelsea hated the plan . dylan suspected that victor used the same forger to frame adam that adam and jack used to frame victor . dylan took his theory to adam and chelsea . adam had already considered that angle and discovered that the forger he and jack used was dead . dylan advised adam to consider taking a plea . adam and chelsea were dead set against the suggestion . after dylan left , chelsea agreed to support adam and ian 's plan , since she did n't want to lose adam . luca showed nick the file he 'd put together on travis 's wall street past . summer returned from georgia , and she was taken aback to see luca and nick with their heads together . she grew suspicious when she saw nick hide the file . nick said it was just business . later , luca told summer that he 'd lose the chance to earn nick 's loyalty if he told her what nick was keeping from her . | <s>[INST] [ the last eight minutes of today 's episode of the the young and the restless was cut off for a live special cbs news coverage of the president in orlando . we will add it as soon as possible . ] sharon : okay , time for breakfast , sweet boy ! today we have sweet potatoes and apples . how does that sound ?

adam : why ca n't you just trust that some things are better if you do n't know ? why ca n't you trust that ? chelsea : okay , so obviously it 's dangerous . why do n't you tell me what it is ? adam : because i do n't want you to wind up in prison ! dylan : sharon . hey , sweetheart . sage : you swore you 'd set things straight . you live a lie every second of the day . sharon : it 's not a lie . not in my heart . i love sully like any child i could ever have . sage : his name is christian . sharon : and dylan . he 's given his whole heart to sully . if i tore them apart now ... sage : you do n't care about your husband or my baby . all you care about is yourself . sharon : mariah . mariah , tell her that 's not true . sage : you know this pain , sharon , wanting to hold your baby , needing to be with your baby . you 're torturing nicholas . he 's grieving a son who 's alive . now my baby 's gon na grow up and have his father 's smile and my eyes , and everyone 's gon na know and everyone 's going to hate you . sharon : if i tell them now , if i lose sully ... sage : there is no sully , sharon . it 's christian . and i know what you did , and i will never forget . and i will haunt your nights until you make it right . dylan : hey . it was just a dream . you were talking in your sleep . do you even know what you said ?

nick : [ sighs ] nothing . it 's just some details on a deal that need to be clarified . it 's really not a big deal . summer : well , something that victoria should know about ? is she running late again ? nick : she 'll be here . i got to go . thanks for the research , luca . luca : anytime , nick . i think he 's coming around , yeah ? summer : yeah , maybe . luca : gosh , your timing 's perfect . i missed you so much . if you were gone much longer , i was gon na fly to georgia and bring you back myself . summer : yeah , you still are not answering me about the secrets . what was my dad just trying to hide from me just now ? luca : [ sighs ] okay , look , you 're right . there is something nick wants to keep private . does n't affect you , okay ? you have my word . but it is a test of my loyalty . look , if i blow it this time , i wo n't get another shot with him , summer , and i want your father on our side . summer : okay . okay . i will drop it for now . but only for now . sharon : what did i say , anyway ?

please tell me what else is going on . sharon : it 's just adam 's murder case . it 's just all so dark . everything 's about death and loss . you know , you -- you live it at work , and nick is upset about sage 's name being dragged into this . dylan : i know . and you 've been really worked up since sage 's journal came out . it makes a lot of sense . either the journal is real and sage has been holding on to an ugly secret or it 's fake . either way , i 'm gon na tell you right now -- i am gon na find the truth , okay ? i promise you . so you wo n't have anything to worry about . love you . adam : it was michael . he thinks that , uh , if meredith testifies , he 's gon na remind the jury that she 's changed her story from not knowing anything about constance 's death to now all of a sudden she has all this inside information about constance 's murder . he 's also gon na bring up the fact that he thinks she 's developed an attachment for her patient . maybe she 's covering for him . chelsea : do i even want to know what kind of an attachment ? adam : well , you know , i mean , victor -- he can be pretty -- pretty charming if it means him getting out of prison . she 's probably in deep . chelsea : then she 's an idiot and i do n't pity her . so why do n't we get back to the fact that you are once again digging yourself into another hole entirely with ian ward ? adam : it 's not what i 'm doing . chelsea : yet it is what you 're doing . you said that you did n't want me going to prison , which means ... what exactly ? what are you planning to do ? and i swear , adam , if you tell me one more time to trust you ... please . trust me . adam : that 's fair . okay , fine . uh , you want to know ? ian agreed to testify that victor set me up as long as i help him ... escape from prison . travis : i forget what it 's like . victoria : oh , you 've been here before ? travis : no , i forget what it 's like to overpay for a beer . they must charge twice what i do . victoria : at least three times , and they do n't even have a jukebox or a sticky booze - soaked floor or anything . they just have a pool and an amazing view . travis : the view is excellent . you 're right about that . victoria : are you flirting with me ? travis : i 'm just stating the facts . and my floor is not sticky , okay ? i mop it every night . victoria : it 's a little sticky . [ chuckles ] summer : okay . this is where we finally find victoria . and she has a friend with her . this is why she 's always late for work ? hi . victoria : hi ! summer : i was wondering when i 'd finally get to see you . victoria : uh , yeah . how was savannah ? how is daniel and lucy ? summer : everyone is doing really great . uh , who -- who 's your friend ? victoria : um -- luca : victoria , is this that meeting you mentioned you needed to take ? victoria : no , no . this is n't business . this is personal . summer , i 'd like for you to meet luca : you know , i just remembered i need to give you an update on that callahan account . do you mind ? victoria : uh , i think that can wait . summer : you know what ? no , you go and handle business , and i am gon na talk to ... ? travis : travis crawford . summer : travis . okay . travis and i are gon na get to know each other . you can go and handle that update . victoria : all right . um , sure . why do n't you all go and chat ? summer : okay . perfect . come and sit . the iced tea here is amazing . uh , can we get two , please ? thank you . luca : what the hell are you doing with that guy ? we think he tried to bring down our company . victoria : our company ? who the hell do you think you are ? luca : victoria -- victoria : i do n't need to hear this right now . i do n't know why you think you still have a vote in my personal life . i talked to travis about what you told me about his past . luca : well , then i guess he had some slick story about why he 's hiding behind a bar pretending to be someone he 's not . and it 's a total coincidence that he was a big - time commodities trader investing in oil . you meet him , and the newman oil rig springs a leak . look , this guy 's up to something , victoria . i can feel it . summer : thanks . i 'm sorry if that was pushy of me back there . it 's just aunt victoria 's not dated anyone since her divorce , and everyone is gon na want to meet you , unless they already have . so , are you a member here ? travis : no . first time . but it 's a nice place . summer : yeah . so , um , how did you guys meet ? have you met her kids ? travis : no , i have n't , but i 'd like to . and i know victoria just went through a rough break - up . summer : yeah , that is an understatement . she and billy -- well , we were hoping that they could work things out , but that did not happen . uh , so , you know , we 're just very protective of victoria . travis : yeah . that 's the impression i get . summer : mm - hmm . we just want her to be happy . so , you did n't tell me . how did you guys meet ? dylan : so , where are we at with adam being framed or not ? paul : well , since the lab tech 's money came from pharmaceuticals and not victor , i had the team look at , uh , anybody else who might have had contact with the tissue samples or the toxicology report . dylan : well , if anybody can cover their tracks , it 's victor newman . which is why i 'm working another angle . paul : right . forgery . dylan : forgery . paul : we have nothing to indicate forgery . dylan : well , that does n't mean that we ca n't find the actual forger . okay , i got three guys right here in the system who have the skill set to accomplish exactly that . these guys right here . have you ever heard of any of them ? paul : uh ... well , i know that guy . and more importantly , so does victor . chelsea : you want to help ian ward escape again ? are you out of your mind ? adam : well , at first glance , honey , it would appear so . chelsea : that is insane ! adam : yep . chelsea : adam , that 's breaking the law . no , that 's -- that 's breaking the law in front of the law 's face . are you asking to be thrown in jail ? adam : you know what ? in case you have missed it , i 'm already facing a prison sentence . victor 's done a bang - up job of setting me up . i need ian 's testimony to establish reasonable doubt . it 's the only way i 'm gon na be able to stay here with you and connor ! do you understand that ? chelsea : so lie . tell him it 's a deal and then let him rot in jail . adam : i ca n't lie ! you understand ? if i do that , he 's gon na do the exact same thing . he 's gon na take the stand and he 's gon na testify that i colluded ! i 'm not stupid . i understand this is not an ideal situation , but it 's all we 've got . it 's our insurance policy , all right ? we have to act on it . chelsea : ian ward is insane . if you help him go free , you do realize nobody 's safe . he could come back for you or -- or for us or for anybody in genoa city . and , adam , if that happens , it will be on your head . mariah : and sage was here ? how did she look after the accident ? sharon : [ sighs ] mariah , it was -- it was so real . and the worst part was , i was talking in my sleep . dylan heard me . he heard me say `` i 'm sorry `` to sage . mariah : this is -- this is not good . you have a legit mental illness that you 're treating . you add on all of this -- stress , the guilt -- it 's eating you alive . sharon : i do n't have a choice . mariah : yes , you do ! you deal with the guilt ! do n't let it come after you in your nightmares . go see a psychiatrist . sharon : and then what would i tell her , mariah ? that i 'm committing a crime of fraud , that i 'm lying to everyone about my baby ? she would break the doctor- patient confidentiality , go straight to the police , and i would lose dylan , we would lose sully , and i would have nothing . mariah : we 'd find somebody who wo n't do that . sharon : what are we gon na do ?

nick : look , we are concerned about you . i guess one of your dreams was so scary that you had to go to dylan 's in the middle of the night ? what 'd you think was gon na happen , mom ? nikki : well , first of all , it was n't in the middle of the night . nick : oh , well , i guess i 'm overreacting . thanks for clearing that up . nikki : i do n't want you and dylan worrying about me , all right ? yes , it was very frightening when ian showed up after all of these years , and , yes , i did have a horrible nightmare . but i have n't seen any sign of him since the last time you and i talked . he 's probably slithered his way off to his next victim . nick : we should be so lucky . nikki : i do n't want you or dylan anywhere near him . he 's a very dangerous man . he 's unpredictable . and if he lays a hand on anybody in my family , i hate to think about what i would do . lily : oh - ho - ho . you are in so much trouble . what are you doing working so soon after a gunshot wound ?

[ sighs ] instead of referring to nick as my ex for the rest of our lives , can we please move on to something more current , like your brother ? i do n't know . i kind of like the idea of you two being bffs , staying up late at night , braiding each other 's hair . dylan : that 's not funny . avery : that 's pretty funny . dylan : that 's -- no . that is not . avery : it 's pretty funny .

[ chuckles ] avery : hi , faith . listen , i just paid a little visit to nikki . dylan : that 's good . and ? nick : how was she ? avery : i 'm more worried than ever , guys . i mean , she 's completely stressed out . she was in this big hurry to take off , and she had a suitcase . nick : suitcase ? she did n't say she was going anywhere . dylan : did you ask her about it ? avery : i did . she said she was n't going anywhere , and then she raced out the door . nick : well , obviously , something 's happened . dylan : do you -- do you think ian 's involved ? avery : i ca n't imagine she would go anywhere near him unless he tricked her . nick : mom , it 's nick . i need you to call me . i need to talk to you for a few minutes . dylan : he 's up to something . if he can reinvent himself and run around , passing himself off as some lifestyle coach named john darwin -- faith : john darwin 's summer 's new friend ! sharon : i 've been doing a lot of research online about the paranormal . noah : mom , please , stay away from -- sharon : just hear me out , okay ? there are thousands of stories of poltergeists playing tricks on people , much like what 's been going on around here . noah : a poltergeist ? mom , you do n't really think there 's a ghost in this house -- a phantasm . you do n't really think that . sharon : well , i do n't want to think that . but if i 'm not the one who 's doing these crazy things and we can rule out faith , then what other choices are there ? noah : i do n't know . maybe somebody 's coming in here and trying to scare you . sharon : oh , noah , who would do that and for what possible reason ? and , what -- it 's just a coincidence that i started seeing cassie again ? noah : okay . but ... a poltergeist ? i ... sharon : you know , maybe that explains why i see cassie and she 's different this time . noah : different how ? she 's ... sharon : well , the cassie from my subconscious was sweet and kind and loving , and she was clearly here to comfort me , but this cassie , she 's smug and mean and ... it 's almost like she 's taunting me . noah : but it does n't make sense , mom . the cassie that your subconscious mind came up with could n't be doing real things , like putting pictures of herself all over the wall . sharon : in other words , you think i did it . noah : given the choice between you and a ghost ... i 'm sorry , but , yeah , that 's what i think . sharon : okay . you want to help me figure out what this is about ? noah : mom , what are you doing ? ouija board ? mom , no . sharon : yes . noah , you can help me . do this with me . we can contact cassie . noah : no , you 're freaking me out , mom . you need to stop doing this right now . leslie : i love you so much , neil . you have no idea how much i wish that was enough . lily : leslie ... dad ... did -- did you and leslie break up , or ... ? neil : i -- i did n't think that she was gon na walk away . i really did n't think she was gon na do that . lily : oh , my god . i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . leslie : [ breathing heavily ] oh , god . noah : i ca n't believe you even still have this thing . it used to scare the hell out of me when i was a kid . sharon : i 'm sorry . i -- you know what ? i should 've never brought any of this up to you . noah : no , no . do n't say that , okay ? do n't . you can talk to me about anything , just like i can talk to you about anything , right ? sharon : yes , that 's right . you 're my son , and ... i do n't want you to think that your mother is nuts . noah : i do n't think that you 're nuts , mom . i think that you 're afraid and as confused as anybody would be with all this weird stuff going on . sharon : and if there were only some way to explain it . noah : there is , and we 'll find it . not with the ouija board . sharon : hey , you know ... you 're right . i 'm sorry . i , uh ... i was n't thinking clearly . i -- i just -- noah : there 's nothing to apologize for . i love you . i love you . noah : let 's figure this out . sharon : okay . you 're a great son . oh , but you know what ? i 'm a terrible mother . noah : what are you talking about ? sharon : um , your birthday present . i have it here , but i have n't wrapped it yet . noah : oh , i ca n't imagine why . it 's not like you 've had anything else on your mind lately . okay , stay here . i 'm gon na go grab it . noah : mom , seriously . hey , i 'll tell you what . let 's just go out to dinner one night , just you and me , and you can give it to me , then .

yeah ? what do you say to her ? faith : thank you , grandma . nikki : well , you 're very welcome . i loved having you . nick : all right . why do n't you run upstairs and get all your stuff . we 'll hit the road . thank you so much for watching her all night . i hope she did n't wear you out . nikki : oh , my god , no . i appreciated her company with your father flying off to paris at the last minute to bring connor home . nick : yeah , i heard about that . nikki : yes , very thoughtful of him to tell me about it after he had returned . i thought he had just taken a few days to mourn for adam . nick : well , if you think about it , mom , that 's what he 's doing , you know ? him holding on to connor , a way for him to stay connected to the son he lost . nikki : yeah . nick : you know ? all right , so , tell me -- i mean , i 'm glad you missed all the excitement at the gcac benefit . nikki : oh , my god . me too . nick : how you doing ? nikki : fine . i was a little under the weather . that 's why i ended up not going , but ... believe me , i would n't have let faith come over if it had been anything serious . i 'm fine . nick : all right , so ... you 're having nightmares about ian ward , but you 're fine . nikki : how do you know about that ? dylan : mmm . wow . those are fantastic . avery : yeah . you wonder why the scones from your supplier are n't selling ? it 's because ... dylan : `` it 's because ... `` avery : ... it tastes like the cardboard he ships them in . this is what they should taste like . dylan : for the record , if you 're trying to push my supplier out and replace him , i can already tell you , i ca n't afford you . avery : but i have n't named my price . dylan : still ca n't afford you . avery : but i 'm nothing if not flexible . i might be able to negotiate . dylan : okay . i have a strict rule against negotiating in public . avery : well , then as an officer of the court , i insist that we resume negotiations in private at my place immediately . dylan : [ chuckles ] okay . as much as i would like to hang up the closed sign and continue these negotiations , it 's just gon na have to wait until later . avery : you have a better offer ? dylan : no . no , nick 's -- nick 's stopping by . avery : oh . you and nick , working together . dylan : mm - hmm . avery : i 'm gon na have to get used to that . dylan : hey , i would team up with hannibal lecter if ian ward would leave nikki alone . ian : [ chuckles ] this should do it . nikki : who would know such a thing ? and who would tell you ? nick : dylan . apparently , you told him you 've been having some pretty unpleasant dreams , starring ian ward . nikki : okay . yes . but you and dylan have been talking and there are n't any broken bones or restraining orders ? nick : look , we are concerned about you . i guess one of your dreams was so scary that you had to go to dylan 's in the middle of the night ? what 'd you think was gon na happen , mom ? nikki : well , first of all , it was n't in the middle of the night . nick : oh , well , i guess i 'm overreacting . thanks for clearing that up . nikki : i do n't want you and dylan worrying about me , all right ? yes , it was very frightening when ian showed up after all of these years , and , yes , i did have a horrible nightmare . but i have n't seen any sign of him since the last time you and i talked . he 's probably slithered his way off to his next victim . nick : we should be so lucky . nikki : i do n't want you or dylan anywhere near him . he 's a very dangerous man . he 's unpredictable . and if he lays a hand on anybody in my family , i hate to think about what i would do . lily : oh - ho - ho . you are in so much trouble . what are you doing working so soon after a gunshot wound ? cane : well , we have that corporate conference coming in , and i want to make sure the room 's ready . lily : cane , are you kidding ? the room looks fine . cane : you know what ? `` fine `` is not good enough after what happened in the ballroom , so i want to make sure we get perfect reviews . lily : okay , that is my job . let me handle it . i handle the hotel . you handle the business . remember ? lily : [ chuckles ] but you know what ? i think you 're right . you know what this room could use , in my professional opinion ? cane : i do n't know . what could this room use , in your professional opinion ?

really ? so , let me get this straight -- are you seriously saying that if i wo n't marry you that it 's over between us ? noah : mom ? what 's going on ? why are there pictures of cassie all over the place ? sharon : i wish i knew . i came home and i found these all over the wall . noah : that 's beyond weird , mom . you do n't think that faith would have -- sharon : no , faith , she would never do something like that . besides , she was n't even here when it happened . no one was . noah : um , look , mom , whatever is going on ... you know you can tell me . sharon : okay . you remember when i -- i went off my meds before and i was in serious trouble . noah : yeah . sharon : and i kept thinking that i was seeing cassie . noah : but that 's all over with . you 're better now , right ? sharon : well , i thought it was . i really thought it was . now , i do n't want to scare you . noah : then just talk to me . i started seeing her again . only , this time , it 's worse . noah : what does that mean ? sharon : i -- i do n't know . i do n't know if it 's the stress from my job or if it 's this thing that 's happened with adam . noah : have you -- have you talked to your therapist about this ? sharon : yes . yes , i met with her yesterday . she prescribed me a new medication , so maybe that will help . t ... noah ... this is more than just seeing cassie . it 's -- it 's about all of this . noah : i do n't -- i do n't understand . sharon : i think i 'm -- i think i 'm doing things and i do n't remember doing them . nikki : all right , so promise me you and dylan will stay away from that degenerate . nick : you ready to go , miss ? faith : i 'm not a `` miss . `` i 'm a mademoiselle . nick : oh . um ... did you guys watch a movie or something i need to know about ? nikki : hey , do n't look at me . summer has this new friend who called her mademoiselle , and she 's quite taken with it . nick : well , there you have it , then . uh , mademoiselle , i do n't see your mittens . nikki : oh . they 're in the family room . okay . promise me . nick : look , dylan and i are n't gon na do anything crazy . but what we will not do is sit back and let ian ward do anything to risk your health . so , you got to promise me -- if you hear from this creep , you got to let us know . nikki : `` us `` as in you and dylan . well , that 's not quite how i thought things would go , but i 'll take it . nick : look , do n't get this confused , all right ? this is not some big bro bonding moment between us . hey . faith : got them . nick : all right , let 's do it . nikki : thank you so much for spending the night with me , mademoiselle .

[ sighs ] instead of referring to nick as my ex for the rest of our lives , can we please move on to something more current , like your brother ? i do n't know . i kind of like the idea of you two being bffs , staying up late at night , braiding each other 's hair . dylan : that 's not funny . avery : that 's pretty funny . dylan : that 's -- no . that is not . avery : it 's pretty funny .

no . i 'm -- i 'm a little out of my element . marisa : you 're right . you 're nothing like my marco . but if he were here , he would tell me to fight with all that is in me . jack abbott may not know how to get us out of here , but i do . kyle : look , dad , you know i 'd do anything for you , right ? marco : that goes both ways , you know . kyle : but just transferring this amount of money and -- and keeping it a secret ? are you sure you 're not in some kind of trouble here ? marco : i would never pull you into something that was illegal or dangerous ever . kyle : i guess i 'd feel a whole lot better if you could tell me exactly what this money 's for . marco : okay , you 're right . i should tell you . it can not leave this table . kyle : of course . marco : the money is going to a cargo company in south america . the deal i 'm trying to broker could save newman - abbott millions of dollars in shipping fees . kyle : that sounds legit , so why the cloak and dagger ? marco : it 's a sensitive transaction . there are parts of it i really ca n't share with you . kyle , i called you because you 're the only person i can trust with this . i know we butt heads , but i also know that this recent car accident brought us closer , that there 's a stronger bond between us now . kyle : yeah , i - i feel the same way . marco : then trust me not to tell you every detail right now . just know our future is riding on this . please . do this for your father . abby : what 's wrong with mom ? did dr. shelby tell you ? ashley : he had no right to discuss my personal life with you . stitch : he would n't say a thing . i figured it out myself . he just confirmed my diagnosis . abby : what is it ? stitch : you have an aneurysm at the base of your brain . most likely congenital . abby : is -- is that what 's been causing all the migraines and the seizure ? stitch : yeah . abby : can they fix it ? stitch : there 's a surgical procedure . abby : they have to operate on her brain ? stitch : look , i 'm not gon na lie to you , ashley . it 's a complicated procedure , but barton and i both agree that dr. akino is one of the best neurosurgeons around . abby : mom , did you hear what ben said ? ashley : i assumed it was something neurological because of the headaches . and they wanted to do a brain scan . abby : then why are you here ? why are you not in the hospital ? ashley : because as long as i can function and contribute and protect my father 's legacy , that 's what i want to do . i want to be creating , i want to be working , i want to be living . stitch : ashley , if you do n't go back to the hospital , you wo n't be doing any of that . ashley : can you guarantee me that if i have this surgery that i 'll be able to function at the same high level that i am now ? can you guarantee me that ? stitch : there are always risks . ashley : [ voice breaking ] so what are my odds ? 50/50 ? less than that ? stitch : i ca n't give you a number . ashley : so something horrible could happen to me . i could be completely incapacitated . i could die , right ? so why do n't you just let me live my life the way i want to ? ! abby : [ voice breaking ] mom , i know that you 're afraid , but you have to trust ben and dr. shelby . ashley : why ? why should i put my life in their hands ? abby : i ca n't lose you . sharon : joe . joe : sharon . here alone ? sharon : yes . joe : dylan run off to be with avery already ? sharon : dylan ran off to be with phyllis . apparently there 's a problem at avery 's apartment . joe : what 's the problem ? sharon : i thought maybe you could tell me . joe : why ? why would i know ? sharon : you pointed out earlier that it 's in both our best interests if dylan and avery are n't together . joe : i was just stating the obvious . sharon : but i got the distinct impression that you would be willing to do anything to keep them apart . did you ? joe : i 'm gon na say this once , sharon , so listen carefully . i love avery , and everything that i 've done is so that we can be together . yes , we had a fight . yes , she threw me out . but i never hurt her . never . phyllis : thanks for coming , paul . paul : well , dylan said you and summer were pretty upset . you want to , uh , want to tell me what happened ? summer : well , the door was open when we got here , and then we found that . phyllis : i tried calling avery , but it went straight to voicemail . paul : hmm . and none of the neighbors have seen her ? summer : no . what could have happened to her ? paul : well , maybe she cut herself and went to the hospital . uh , did you check to see if , uh , her car was here ? summer : no . paul : kaminsky , go downstairs and see if ms . clark 's car is here . dylan : do n't bother . avery 's car is gone . paul : all right , we put an apb out on avery 's car . but let 's go over the last time you saw her . maybe we can put together a timeline of some kind . phyllis : i saw her just a few days ago . she was just back from chicago . and her ex - husband , joe , had moved in with her . we argued . paul : what about ? phyllis : she insisted on joe living with her so that she could help him through his rehab . fortunately , he had a miraculous recovery and decided to move out . summer : um , not exactly . aunt avery threw him out . phyllis : really ? then he just lied to me . dylan : how do you know avery kicked joe out ? summer : 'cause i was the one that told her that he can walk and he 'd been hiding it from her . phyllis : he 's been manipulating my sister the whole time , and now he 's done something to her . paul : whoa , whoa . where do you think you 're going ? phyllis : i am going to find joe and make him tell me what he 's done with avery . paul : no , you 're not . i 'm tired of people taking the law into their own hands . this is a police investigation . do you understand that ? phyllis : paul , what do you expect me to do ? to just sit back while my sister 's missing and her smug ex is just hanging out at the club drinking the most expensive scotch that they sell ? paul : do you have any proof against joe clark ? phyllis : he has been guilt - tripping her from the day that he got hurt . she saw through his lies and manipulations , and when she showed him the door , he freaked out . he lost it . paul : i will look into your theory . meanwhile , if you really want to be helpful , why do n't you come down to the station and we 'll file a missing- persons report ? phyllis : i will let you handle this . paul : good . phyllis : but do not expect me and especially dylan to back off . paul : well , dylan does n't have a -- ... choice . [ sighs ] marco : hey . kyle : hey . marco : is it done ? kyle : the money 's been wired , and there 's no way that it can be traced back to you . marco : i am so proud of you , son . kyle : well , if i 'd known that 's all it took ... marco : not -- not for handling the transfer . for trusting me . i did n't tell you every detail of this deal , and you put your faith in me . kyle : you 're my dad . marco : you will never know how much what you did today means to your old man . i will not forget this . your faith in me will not go unrewarded . kyle : hey , you 're proud of me , and that 's a win . [ cell phone rings ] kyle : hello ? what 's up ? oh , no . jack : you have a plan ? marisa : [ chuckles ] i survived on my own for years . like a phoenix , i learned how to rise from the ashes . [ door opens ] captain : good news . [ chuckling ] well , good news for me , that is . the ransom money was wired into my account , and i am a very rich man . but you , my friend , are a very dead one . jack : let me call my family . i will make you a richer man . captain : i 'm not greedy , marco . or a fool . if the man who bought you realized i double - crossed him , i 'd be lying in that grave next to yours . marisa : no one 's paid for me . captain : you chose your own fate when you chose a doomed man over me . marisa : it was one kiss . if he said it was more , he 's a filthy liar . captain : even one with your old lover is one too many . marisa : i made one mistake . do n't make me pay for it with my life . captain : why should n't i ? marisa : i know you have n't forgotten what it feels like to feel my lips on yours , to feel my body close to you . captain : [ chuckles ] oh , now , that 's a trick . you just want me to keep you alive so you can save your precious marco . marisa : i do n't give a damn about him . i just want to save myself . sharon : dylan . hey , how -- how 's avery ? dylan : i do n't know . sharon : what do you mean , you do n't know ? were n't you just at her apartment ? dylan : yeah , she was n't there . she 's missing . sharon : missing ? dylan : yeah , i just really need to find joe . sharon : well , he 's here . he 's at the bar . dylan : you saw him ? sharon : yeah , i told him that something was wrong with avery and he seems upset and alarmed . dylan : yeah , i bet . i really wish you had n't talked to him . sharon : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't -- dylan : can you just do me a favor ? can you go back to the coffeehouse and just take care of things for me ? sharon : yeah , of course . dylan : where 's avery ? what did you do to her ? abby : [ sighs ] `` monsters and goblins go bump in the night . thunder and lightning may give you a fright . but always remember , no matter the sight ... `` ashley : `` ... i will be there holding you tight . `` you remember .

[ sighs ] i do n't know . it looks like ... dylan : like -- like what ? phyllis : like avery was in some kind of struggle . there 's a bowl on the floor , broken , with some blood . dylan : all right , call the police right away . i 'm on my way . sharon : what 's wrong ? dylan : something may have happened to avery . i got -- i got to go . sharon : [ sighs ] abby : mom , if you wo n't go to the hospital , will you at least go home and get some rest ? ashley : no , i need to finish this . abby : why ? why are you putting yourself at risk like this ? ashley : because i have to protect the jabot brand , abby , all right ? i 'm not 100 % behind this merger of jack 's , but i do know that i want jabot to be the leader in the cosmetics industry just like it always has been . and if i have to do it on my own , then i will . ashley : you 're not telling jack about this . abby : he would want to know , and so would uncle billy and aunt traci . ashley : no , i do n't want to worry them , especially when there 's nothing to worry about . abby : you do n't believe that any more than i do . you 're scared , just like i am . ashley : no , no , no . abby : and that 's why you do n't want to face this . ashley : you forget that i do n't scare that easily , honey . abby : mom , you are one of the strongest , bravest women that i have ever known . and it 's okay to admit that you 're afraid . ashley : and who the hell am i supposed to admit that to ? abby : me , mom . you have me . ashley : i know you love me . abby : but it is n't enough . you want someone there in the morning when you wake up and someone in the afternoon when you get home . you want someone there full - time , and that 's not me . stitch : we need to talk . ashley : i 'm done talking . i 've got to get to work . stitch : ashley , if you do n't go back to the hospital , you could die . marisa : you 're not my marco ? jack : no . marisa : how can that be ? jack : i - i do n't know . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i should have told you a long time ago . marisa : jack abbott ? jack : yeah . that 's my name . marisa : but your face is his . jack : well , that 's where the similarities end , believe me . unfortunately , this is a case of mistaken identity . marisa : unfortunate for us both . i knew something was wrong . i sensed something was off , but i ... [ sighs ] i thought the years had changed you . why did you let me believe you were marco ? jack : i would do or say anything to live and see my family again . marisa : [ sighs ] i 've spent my life running from mine . jack : mine means everything to me . marisa : well , then , jack abbott , you have no henchmen to rescue us , so how are we going to get out of this mess ? jack : you really expect me to have a plan `` b `` ? marisa : you 're not a criminal mastermind , but you seem like a smart man . jack : in a boardroom , i can crush anyone . but handcuffs and guns and crates of drugs in a ship at sea ? no . i 'm -- i 'm a little out of my element . marisa : you 're right . you 're nothing like my marco . but if he were here , he would tell me to fight with all that is in me . jack abbott may not know how to get us out of here , but i do . kyle : look , dad , you know i 'd do anything for you , right ? marco : that goes both ways , you know . kyle : but just transferring this amount of money and -- and keeping it a secret ? are you sure you 're not in some kind of trouble here ? marco : i would never pull you into something that was illegal or dangerous ever . kyle : i guess i 'd feel a whole lot better if you could tell me exactly what this money 's for . marco : okay , you 're right . i should tell you . it can not leave this table . kyle : of course . marco : the money is going to a cargo company in south america . the deal i 'm trying to broker could save newman - abbott millions of dollars in shipping fees . kyle : that sounds legit , so why the cloak and dagger ? marco : it 's a sensitive transaction . there are parts of it i really ca n't share with you . kyle , i called you because you 're the only person i can trust with this . i know we butt heads , but i also know that this recent car accident brought us closer , that there 's a stronger bond between us now . kyle : yeah , i - i feel the same way . marco : then trust me not to tell you every detail right now . just know our future is riding on this . please . do this for your father . abby : what 's wrong with mom ? did dr. shelby tell you ? ashley : he had no right to discuss my personal life with you . stitch : he would n't say a thing . i figured it out myself . he just confirmed my diagnosis . abby : what is it ? stitch : you have an aneurysm at the base of your brain . most likely congenital . abby : is -- is that what 's been causing all the migraines and the seizure ? stitch : yeah . abby : can they fix it ? stitch : there 's a surgical procedure . abby : they have to operate on her brain ? stitch : look , i 'm not gon na lie to you , ashley . it 's a complicated procedure , but barton and i both agree that dr. akino is one of the best neurosurgeons around . abby : mom , did you hear what ben said ? ashley : i assumed it was something neurological because of the headaches . and they wanted to do a brain scan . abby : then why are you here ? why are you not in the hospital ? ashley : because as long as i can function and contribute and protect my father 's legacy , that 's what i want to do . i want to be creating , i want to be working , i want to be living . stitch : ashley , if you do n't go back to the hospital , you wo n't be doing any of that . ashley : can you guarantee me that if i have this surgery that i 'll be able to function at the same high level that i am now ? can you guarantee me that ? stitch : there are always risks . ashley : [ voice breaking ] so what are my odds ? 50/50 ? less than that ? stitch : i ca n't give you a number . ashley : so something horrible could happen to me . i could be completely incapacitated . i could die , right ? so why do n't you just let me live my life the way i want to ? ! abby : [ voice breaking ] mom , i know that you 're afraid , but you have to trust ben and dr. shelby . ashley : why ? why should i put my life in their hands ? abby : i ca n't lose you . sharon : joe . joe : sharon . here alone ? sharon : yes . joe : dylan run off to be with avery already ? sharon : dylan ran off to be with phyllis . apparently there 's a problem at avery 's apartment . joe : what 's the problem ? sharon : i thought maybe you could tell me . joe : why ? why would i know ? sharon : you pointed out earlier that it 's in both our best interests if dylan and avery are n't together . joe : i was just stating the obvious . sharon : but i got the distinct impression that you would be willing to do anything to keep them apart . did you ? joe : i 'm gon na say this once , sharon , so listen carefully . i love avery , and everything that i 've done is so that we can be together . yes , we had a fight . yes , she threw me out . but i never hurt her . never . phyllis : thanks for coming , paul . paul : well , dylan said you and summer were pretty upset . you want to , uh , want to tell me what happened ? summer : well , the door was open when we got here , and then we found that . phyllis : i tried calling avery , but it went straight to voicemail . paul : hmm . and none of the neighbors have seen her ? summer : no . what could have happened to her ? paul : well , maybe she cut herself and went to the hospital . uh , did you check to see if , uh , her car was here ? summer : no . paul : kaminsky , go downstairs and see if ms . clark 's car is here . dylan : do n't bother . avery 's car is gone . paul : all right , we put an apb out on avery 's car . but let 's go over the last time you saw her . maybe we can put together a timeline of some kind . phyllis : i saw her just a few days ago . she was just back from chicago . and her ex - husband , joe , had moved in with her . we argued . paul : what about ? phyllis : she insisted on joe living with her so that she could help him through his rehab . fortunately , he had a miraculous recovery and decided to move out . summer : um , not exactly . aunt avery threw him out . phyllis : really ? then he just lied to me . dylan : how do you know avery kicked joe out ? summer : 'cause i was the one that told her that he can walk and he 'd been hiding it from her . phyllis : he 's been manipulating my sister the whole time , and now he 's done something to her . paul : whoa , whoa . where do you think you 're going ? phyllis : i am going to find joe and make him tell me what he 's done with avery . paul : no , you 're not . i 'm tired of people taking the law into their own hands . this is a police investigation . do you understand that ? phyllis : paul , what do you expect me to do ? to just sit back while my sister 's missing and her smug ex is just hanging out at the club drinking the most expensive scotch that they sell ? paul : do you have any proof against joe clark ? phyllis : he has been guilt - tripping her from the day that he got hurt . she saw through his lies and manipulations , and when she showed him the door , he freaked out . he lost it . paul : i will look into your theory . meanwhile , if you really want to be helpful , why do n't you come down to the station and we 'll file a missing- persons report ? phyllis : i will let you handle this . paul : good . phyllis : but do not expect me and especially dylan to back off . paul : well , dylan does n't have a -- ... choice . [ sighs ] marco : hey . kyle : hey . marco : is it done ? kyle : the money 's been wired , and there 's no way that it can be traced back to you . marco : i am so proud of you , son . kyle : well , if i 'd known that 's all it took ... marco : not -- not for handling the transfer . for trusting me . i did n't tell you every detail of this deal , and you put your faith in me . kyle : you 're my dad . marco : you will never know how much what you did today means to your old man . i will not forget this . your faith in me will not go unrewarded . kyle : hey , you 're proud of me , and that 's a win . [ cell phone rings ] kyle : hello ? what 's up ? oh , no . jack : you have a plan ? marisa : [ chuckles ] i survived on my own for years . like a phoenix , i learned how to rise from the ashes . [ door opens ] captain : good news . [ chuckling ] well , good news for me , that is . the ransom money was wired into my account , and i am a very rich man . but you , my friend , are a very dead one . jack : let me call my family . i will make you a richer man . captain : i 'm not greedy , marco . or a fool . if the man who bought you realized i double - crossed him , i 'd be lying in that grave next to yours . marisa : no one 's paid for me . captain : you chose your own fate when you chose a doomed man over me . marisa : it was one kiss . if he said it was more , he 's a filthy liar . captain : even one with your old lover is one too many . marisa : i made one mistake . do n't make me pay for it with my life . captain : why should n't i ? marisa : i know you have n't forgotten what it feels like to feel my lips on yours , to feel my body close to you . captain : [ chuckles ] oh , now , that 's a trick . you just want me to keep you alive so you can save your precious marco . marisa : i do n't give a damn about him . i just want to save myself . sharon : dylan . hey , how -- how 's avery ? dylan : i do n't know . sharon : what do you mean , you do n't know ? were n't you just at her apartment ? dylan : yeah , she was n't there . she 's missing . sharon : missing ? dylan : yeah , i just really need to find joe . sharon : well , he 's here . he 's at the bar . dylan : you saw him ? sharon : yeah , i told him that something was wrong with avery and he seems upset and alarmed . dylan : yeah , i bet . i really wish you had n't talked to him . sharon : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't -- dylan : can you just do me a favor ? can you go back to the coffeehouse and just take care of things for me ? sharon : yeah , of course . dylan : where 's avery ? what did you do to her ? abby : [ sighs ] `` monsters and goblins go bump in the night . thunder and lightning may give you a fright . but always remember , no matter the sight ... `` ashley : `` ... i will be there holding you tight . `` you remember .

alexis : all right . so , the arraignments are just a formality , so if we do everything by the book , you have a reasonable chance of having this go your way . is that understood ? nina : yes . i definitely understand , and i 'll follow your instructions to the letter -- definitely . i 'm just so grateful to you and `` j. `` i would n't have been able to get through this without him . alexis : well , through no fault of his own , he 's a member of my family -- that and the fact that he does care about you , nina , and he wants you to get through this . he would be here if he could . nina : i 'm just so happy that he sent me a great lawyer . alexis : you should be . so , let 's go see how the arraignment goes . franco : wait . what 's your big game plan for me ? alexis : there is n't a chance in hell that i 'm going to represent you . sam : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] sam : julian . hey . if you 're here to see my mom , she 's not here . julian : actually , i came here to see you . jordan : anna , i 've checked everywhere . so , if your theory is right , then julian and his team are smart enough to not leave a paper trail . no , no . i ca n't find any evidence that connects the jeromes to ric lansing 's disappearance .

[ sighs ] the way things are going , i just do n't know if i 'll ever be allowed to see her . nathan : do you need me to list for you why you 're gon na be a good mother ? because i 've given this a lot of thought , you know . maxie : okay . nathan : you are caring . you 're loving . you 're nurturing . you 're creative . maxie : okay . okay . as much as i would love to hear you list all of my theoretical virtues , i just do n't think you see me clearly . nathan : no , i see you very clearly . i think i see you maybe even clearer than you see yourself . maxie : okay . well , regardless , this whole georgie situation -- it 's out of our control . and if it 's all the same to you , i 'd rather just focus on something else . nathan : okay . franco : you 're not gon na represent me ? alexis : correct . franco : and you 're telling me this now , right before we go in there for the arraignment ? nina : i do n't understand . remember we had this conversation in our cells and when you said that `` j `` sent you to represent me and i said on one condition -- that you represent franco , too ? alexis : you do n't get to make conditions . and i needed to secure your cooperation . franco : so you lied to her ? you just told her whatever you thought she wanted to hear ? you never had any intention of representing me , did you ? alexis : no , i did n't . franco : i have the right to an attorney . it says so in the constitution . alexis : indeed you do . franco : so , what happens now ? you 're just gon na pawn me off on some public defender ? nina : does `` j `` know you lied ? alexis : here 's the deal -- i do believe that everyone is entitled to the best defense . quite simply , i ca n't provide that for you -- the best defense -- because i 'm biased . and i ca n't claim that you 're innocent after what you did to my daughter . julian : so , can i come in ? sam : just please do n't ask about my mother , because i do n't want to get involved . julian : it 's not about that . i heard you were attacked . i was concerned . ca n't a father check in on his daughter after an ordeal like that ? sam : yes . come in . i was n't actually attacked . more like they used me as leverage . julian : i do n't really see the difference . are you sure you 're okay ? sam : yeah . promise . julian : okay . what about the cops ? do they have any leads ? sam : no . julian : so , this guy was able to waltz right in to the police station , in front of all these cops , and they still do n't have a suspect ? sam : nope . julian : but you do ? sam : well , it 's just a theory . julian : okay . you want to tell me who he is ? i 'll handle it . sam : [ chuckles ] why -- so you can have your enforcer carlos take care of him ? carlos : johnny ? johnny : i 'm gon na have to call you back , carlos . i got company . carlos : corinthos ? johnny : yep . hey , be sure to tell ric his brother 's thinking about him . sonny : that 's a nice phone you got there . i did n't realize we were allowed . johnny : yeah , man . pay phone 's gon na be a hassle . everybody eavesdrops , and i 'm not just talking about the guards and the other inmates . no , no . they tap the lines , and then they trace your calls , so , you know , a personal phone 's better when you need your privacy . sonny : you 're very lucky no one 's turned you in to the guards . johnny : i trust you 're gon na keep your mouth shut . otherwise , how am i gon na let carlos know to keep ric alive , huh ? sonny : relax . i 'm no snitch . as far as ric , uh ... duke and shawn are cooperating . johnny : yeah , yeah . carlos said he had a productive meeting -- almost too productive . sonny : i did my part . i just need more proof that ric 's still alive . jordan : there 's nothing in here . well , i re - established contact with julian last night , and you know what ? i 'm just gon na ask him outright . i 'm gon na ask him outright about ric . well , yeah , i know it 's risky , but it 's our only shot here . no , no , no , no . interrogating julian did us no good , okay ? this is our best chance of finding -- of finding ric without tipping anybody off . jordan : uh , i have to go . yeah , i 'll be in touch . that was , uh -- shawn : you know what ? i really do n't care . you making big plans with rivera ? jordan : what ? shawn : come on . stop trying to play me , jordan . i saw you yesterday at the metro court -- you , carlos , and julian . so , that 's how it is ? you in deep with them again ? jordan : i have someplace to be . shawn : oh , let me guess -- you have to check on ric lansing ? sonny : hey , johnny , pull out that little phone of yours . call whoever is holding ric . tell them i want to talk to my brother . johnny : i 'm not gon na risk getting caught with this just so you can have peace of mind . sonny : johnny , how am i supposed to know that ric 's still alive ? johnny : same way i 'm supposed to trust that duke and shawn are gon na play ball . it was surprising how quickly you got them to turn over your territory . shawn : so , you 're gon na hand over everything you 've worked so hard for to that punk ? sonny : no . shawn : so , ric dies ? sonny : not that , either . you are gon na snatch ric from the zacchara people . sonny : you did n't leave me a choice . i already lost my son . the least i can do is keep my brother breathing . johnny : that does n't mean your lieutenants are willing to comply . sonny : johnny ... duke and shawn are my soldiers . they do n't make a move ... unless i give them an order . jordan : what are you talking about ? shawn : save it , jordan . i know . jordan : shawn , i 'm serious . i do n't know what you 're talking about . shawn : you mean to tell me your boss is holding ric lansing hostage and you 're out of the loop ? sam : my mom said that she ran in to you at the courthouse after the arraignment and carlos rivera bailed you out . julian : yeah . carlos is an old friend . sam : she also basically confirmed that you are back in the mob , not that you ever left anyway . julian : i 'm not gon na lie to you . sam : well , you 're not gon na deny it , either , are you ? julian : let 's just say if i were to get involved in that life again , things will be different . there 'll be no more drugs , no kids ending up like rafe . i 'd make sure of it from inside the organization . sam : hypothetically ? julian : hypothetically . sam : what am i supposed to tell my son -- that his grandfather is one of the `` good `` mobsters ? julian : look [ sighs ] sam , i ca n't claim to be a good man . i 'm just trying to be a good father to you and lucas , good grandfather to danny . i ca n't really do that without your help . your mom 's already written me off . i hope you have n't . alexis : i referred you to a lawyer in our firm . he should be here any minute . franco : and i have no say in who represents me ? alexis : sure , you do . if you do n't like him , you can find one of those public defenders you just mentioned . nina : this was n't our agreement . alexis : i know . he assaulted my daughter , so i really ca n't defend him . it would be a conflict of interest . [ footsteps approach ] henry : alexis . franco : who 's this ? henry : henry sullivan . nice to meet you . franco : he 's 12 . alexis : one of the best litigators we have . franco : is he ? how 'bout it , slick ? you gon na be able to keep me out of pentonville ? henry : that remains to be seen , mr. frank . franco : uh , actually , mr. frank is my father . people call me `` franco . `` henry : this is n't a gallery opening . it 's an arraignment on multiple felony charges , including kidnapping . your legal name is robert frank . that 's the name the judge will use , and you 're not going to contradict her . you 're not going to make witty quips or mock the proceedings . you 're gon na sit still , do as i say , and try to look appropriately remorseful . franco : why do n't you like me ? henry : i 'm not required to like you . i 've been retained to defend you . do yourself a favor . do n't get in my way . alexis : the courtroom is filling up . we should probably go in . henry : after you . nina : uh , i really appreciate everything you 're doing for me . please promise me that this is n't just some trick to ruin franco 's chances . alexis : nina , you have my word . this is the best shot franco has for getting away with what he 's done . scott : you do n't look too bad for a guy who 's about to be arraigned . franco : thanks , pops . scott : listen , i just want to tell you that letter that you wrote me -- it meant a lot to me . franco : i 'm glad to hear it . hey , if things do n't go my way , maybe you could write me back so i 'll have something to read to pass the time . scott : well , let 's hope it does n't go that way . bailiff : all rise ! court is now in session . honorable judge rachel lasser presiding . judge lasser : be seated . d.a . baldwin , i have to say i 'm surprised to see you here . scott : well , i am the district attorney . judge lasser : and one of the defendants is your son . scott : yes , and that 's why i 'll be prosecuting nina clay and my associate ada wallace will be prosecuting franco -- mr. frank . judge lasser : well , we wo n't keep you from your duties , mr. district attorney . let 's begin with your case , shall we ? that would be docket number 428 , the people vs. nina clay . maxie : `` pretty sneaky , sis ! `` nathan : huh ? maxie : you know , from the commercial . you totally blocked my move . `` here , diagonally ! `` nathan : yeah , right . sorry . maxie : you keep looking at your phone . nathan : no , i 'm not . maxie : yes , you are . what 's going on ? nathan : nina 's being arraigned today . maxie : oh . sorry . no wonder you 're worried . nathan : well , alexis said she was gon na represent her , and i 'm just sitting here , waiting to hear how it went . maxie : well , i hope she has better luck in court than i did . judge lasser : nina clay , you are facing multiple charges -- one count aggravated assault , madeline reeves , one count of aggravated assault , ava jerome , one count of prescription fraud , one count of endangerment to a minor , one count of kidnapping . how do you plead ? alexis : your honor , my client pleads not guilty by reason of insanity . [ people murmur ] [ gavel bangs ] judge lasser : quiet , please ! counselor , i assume you have some documentation to substantiate this plea ? alexis : i do , your honor . i have nina clay 's medical records . may i approach ? judge lasser : please . alexis : thank you . ms. clay was incapable of understanding her actions . she was comatose for 22 years . she recently awakened to find that her mother was responsible for the assault that rendered her comatose , as well as causing her miscarriage . she 's had a break from reality . this is a sworn affidavit from the pcpd staff psychologist , who said that when nina was taken into custody , she suffered a mental breakdown . judge lasser : i see . alexis : i 'm requesting that ms. clay be evaluated by a mental - health facility . judge lasser : and how does the da 's office feel about this ? scott : we have no objection with that . judge lasser : very well . i order that nina clay be remanded to an appropriate psychiatric facility for further evaluation . nina : but i 'm not crazy . alexis : trust me , nina -- this is good . it 's much better than prison . nina : okay . well , you 'll call `` j `` and you 'll tell him , right ? alexis : i will call him right now . franco : hey . nina : hey . franco : you did great . this will all be over before you know it . nina : they think i 'm crazy . you do n't think i 'm crazy , do you ? franco : i think this is just all part of the process . and i think you 're gon na be okay . you are . you 're gon na be okay . i promise . nathan : so , they accepted the insanity plea ? alexis : yeah . she 's been remanded to a psychiatric facility , and she 'll get the help that she needs there , and hopefully she 'll recover and she 'll be able to start over . nathan : alexis , thank you . thank you . i have no idea what i would have done without you . alexis : uh , sorry . i 'm getting another call . can you hang on ? well , that 's a coincidence . it 's judge walters . nathan : you do n't say . judge lasser : this is docket number 429 , the people vs. robert frank . mr. frank , you are charged with four counts of unlawful imprisonment , one count of obstruction of justice , and one count of kidnapping . how do you plead ? henry : your honor , my client pleads not guilty by reason of insanity . we request that he be evaluated in the same manner as that of his alleged co- conspirator , nina clay . wallace : the district attorney 's office has no objections , your honor . judge lasser : well , good for the district attorney . i , however , have plenty . jordan : okay , i had no idea that julian is holding ric lansing . what do you know about this ? all right , shawn . if you want me to help you , you 're gon na have to tell me what you know . shawn : i 'm taking a risk on coming to you . jordan : and i 'm not ? i should n't even be having this conversation with you . shawn : look , julian and carlos are holding ric lansing hostage for johnny zacchara . now , they 're gon na kill him if sonny does n't hand over his territory . now , i know you have a line you wo n't cross , and you warned me when the jeromes were targeting michael , and you said it was because michael was innocent . well , i am telling you ric lansing 's innocent , too . now , if you really did n't have a part in taking him hostage , i 'm guessing you wo n't want to see him dead . so ... do you want to help me save him ? julian : yeah , okay . there are aspects of my life that ca n't be denied anymore . i tried distancing myself form them , but i could n't . it does n't mean i do n't want to have a relationship with my family . sam : look , you 're the only father i 've got . i 'm not gon na shut you out . julian : thank you . sam : but there have to be ground rules . i am no stranger to the mob . when i first met jason , he was involved with sonny . he could n't give it up , and i did n't ask him to . but that -- that life is in my past , and i do n't want what you do around me or my son . there are no questions about it , no discussions , nothing . julian : i understand . thank you . bad enough losing your mom , but [ sighs ] losing you ... sam : okay . all right . let me go wake danny up . i 'm sure he 'd love to see you . julian : okay . great . [ cell phone rings ] julian : jordan , what can i do for you ? jordan : i need you to tell me where you 've stashed ric lansing . [ banging ] carlos : shut up , lansing . i gave you food and water . i even let you stretch your legs last night , so just sit tight [ laughs ] not that you have a choice . it 'll all be over soon . julian : which reminds me , you need to keep your nose clean . cops are gon na come after you to cement their case against me . carlos : i 'm surprised they have n't picked you up already . jordan : luck . [ chuckles ] johnny : well , as soon as i get confirmation that duke and shawn are cooperating and following your orders , they 've met my terms , ric will be released . in the meantime , how 's the rest of your family ? sonny : we gon na chat now ? johnny : might as well stay cordial , right ? hey , you ever find that baby ? sonny : not that it 's any of your business ... but the baby 's safe . johnny : you must be so relieved . you know , that little girl is the perfect symbol of what we 're trying to create -- this alliance . she 's part jerome , part corinthos . that reminds me , did they ever find out who the baby daddy was ? morgan : hey . silas : everyone ready ? morgan : yeah . carly : yeah . can you tell us , please ? silas : the test indicates that carly and the baby are not related . morgan : so , um -- so , that means that ... silas : i 'm sorry , morgan . you 're not the baby 's father . morgan : there 's no chance of , like , a mistake , or ... silas : the results are conclusive . carly and the baby are not related , which means sonny 's the father . morgan : okay . yeah . he 's -- he 's the dad . i 'm the brother , so all right . silas : you 're gon na be a good big brother . morgan : thanks . carly : i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . morgan : it 's okay . um ... you know , i wanted it so bad , but that 's -- that 's stupid , because , i mean , what kind of father would i have been anyway , you know ? carly : you would have been a wonderful father . you would have been a wonderful father , and you 're gon na be a wonderful big brother , and this little girl is gon na love you and look up to you and admire you just like josslyn does . morgan : it 's better this way , right ? carly : it does n't matter how this little girl came to be here . she 's perfect and she 's beautiful , and we 're gon na love her , and she 's a part of our family , and that 's all that matters . morgan : yeah . yeah . you 're right . you 're right . i 'm gon na -- can i just say something ? can i just say thank you for running the test and stuff ? i appreciate that . silas : i 'm sorry it was n't the outcome you were hoping for . morgan : it 's all right . i just want to know , is there anything else we need to do -- anything official ? like , does my dad 's name maybe need to be on her birth certificate ? does she have one ? carly : we can figure that out later . you have a lot that you 're dealing with right now . morgan : yeah . i do n't really know how to feel about this . carly : come here . you know what ? um ... bad things happen fast , and we have to live through them slow . big emotions take some time to sort through , and you 've had a really big disappointment here . morgan : i know . i did n't , um -- i did n't really think you would understand , mom . i thought you were just gon na be relieved . carly : you 're never relieved when your kid 's hurting . and one day , when you 're older and you 're with someone you love and the time is right , you 're gon na have a child of your own and you 'll understand completely . you will . morgan : thanks , mom . um , can i just talk -- kiki , can i talk to you for a second ? kiki : sure . morgan : i 'm only gon na be a second . carly : yeah . it 's okay . [ sighs ] i hate how much morgan is hurting , but , um ... he 's right , you know . this is for the best . nathan : thanks , alexis . so , alexis just got off the phone with judge walters , and he wants to meet with her in a couple of minutes . maxie : great . he probably found out we 're hanging out and he wants to add another six months . nathan : or not . maxie : you 're right . he probably wants to add a whole year -- maybe even a lifetime ban . hell , at this rate , i 'll probably be banned from seeing my future grandchildren , the way he has it out for me . nathan : just -- please , just go to the courthouse . you and alexis need to hear what he has to say . there 's no use being negative . maxie : i 'm not being negative . he hates me . i 'm not gon na give judge walters the satisfaction of stomping on my heart again . whatever he has to say , he can say it to alexis without me there . judge lasser : the court does not accept mr. frank 's insanity plea . henry : we would still request mr. frank undergo psychiatric -- franco : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second ! i 'm nuts , right ? i 'm bananas ! i 'm completely out of my mind ! everybody knows that ! [ gavel bangs ] franco : i 'd have to be a psychopath to do half of the things that i 've done ! judge lasser : mr. sullivan ... franco : i have voices -- tell her about the voices in my head ! tell her ! they 're maddening ! what ? no ! stop ! i -- no ! i 'm not in my right mind ! i need psychological help ! henry : you want to add a contempt citation ? shut up and sit down . franco : all right . judge lasser : mr. frank , putting aside the egregious conflict of interest between you and the district attorney , it has already been established that you are , in fact , not insane . 15 months ago , the court determined that you were not guilty of the gruesome acts of violence you had perpetrated because you were suffering from a brain tumor -- not mental illness but a physical medical condition . you ca n't have it both ways . if the brain tumor was responsible for your past criminal actions and the brain tumor has been removed , then the responsibility for your current actions lies with you and you alone . you are not an ill man , mr. frank -- just a criminal . keeping in mind that you recently fled the country , i deem you a flight risk . i am denying you bail . you will be remanded to the pentonville penitentiary to await trial . johnny : no , no , no . that 's right . that 's right . that woman skipped town so fast with that baby , you did n't have time to get a dna test done . sonny : i 'm not discussing ava 's kid with you , johnny . johnny : yeah , well , say what you want about my family , but my father never stole a woman from me , man . that 's -- ooh . that 's harsh . sonny : you know what , johnny ? when you say `` father , `` do you mean anthony or gino ? do n't get any closer . your pals are n't here to protect you , so you really want to throw down with me ? i say we keep our distance until this ric situation is handled . julian : you 're asking me about ric ? how should i know where they buried that poor bastard ? jordan : look , i know you got him . julian : really ? how 's that ? jordan : well , anna devane and a whole slew of cops just came and searched the gallery . yeah . and they were asking me what i know about you snatching up ric lansing from witness protection . and i could n't answer them . you know why ? because i thought he was dead . julian : not quite . [ sighs ] we grabbed him a few nights ago . jordan : oh . hey , i get it , right ? i mean , you 're my boss and you 've got to play things close to your chest , but , honey , i ca n't cover for you if you do n't tell me what 's going on . so , where are we keeping ric ? nathan : i know how much you love your daughter . you 're not gon na give up on seeing her without a fight . maxie : of course not . show me a battle and i will fight , but i do n't see one , and i have no moves . nathan : no . see ? so , earlier , you said that i blocked you . but i 've been kicking myself because i did n't . i set you up for the big win . [ groans ] see ? so , you thought you had no moves , but , lo and behold , you won . see ? sometimes it only seems like a no - win situation . would n't you rather find out for yourself ? maxie : so , in other words , i should go to the courthouse to meet alexis ? `` pretty sneaky , sis . `` [ chuckles ] carly : so , ava 's on her way to prison , probably for the rest of her life ? silas : it looks that way . carly : and kiki had been the baby 's next of kin . now that sonny 's officially the father , morgan 's also the next of kin . morgan : she 's my sister . kiki : she 's mine , too . morgan : yeah , that part 's a little weird . kiki : more than a little . i 'm worried about her -- really worried . i know you love your dad , despite his faults , and i love my mom , too , but they are screwed up , and that 's putting it nicely . morgan : yeah , i know , but none of that 's the baby 's fault , though . kiki : i know that it 's not . your dad is in prison , and my mom is on her way there . neither of them can take care of her . she 's gon na need us . henry : your honor , should n't we let the doctors decide whether my client is even fit to stand to trial ? judge lasser : my decision is final . you 're free to appeal , but i warn you , you wo n't be successful . court adjourned . bailiff : all rise ! scott : hey . i 'm sorry , son . i tried . franco : i know you did . i got to talk to nina . scott : hey , give him a minute , will you ? nina : this is n't how it was supposed to work . we were supposed to go together . franco : i know . i 'm sorry . nina : i ca n't go by myself . franco : yeah , you can . you 're gon na be fine . you 're gon na get better . nina : no . franco : you 're gon na get your life back . nina : no . i ca n't go by myself . i ca n't . i need you go to with me . franco : you can do this . nina : [ crying ] i ca n't go by myself . franco : i 'm so sorry . nina : please let me go ! franco : just do what they tell you to do and you 're gon na be okay ! nina : we were supposed to do this together ! i 'm afraid ! franco : can you just give me a second here ? nina : i 'm scared ! i 'm scared ! we were supposed to be a family ! no ! i do n't want to go ! franco : she 's scared ! she 's just scared -- that 's all ! alexis : [ sighs ] sam : look who i found ! julian : oh - ho - ho - ho ! come here , little man ! sam : [ chuckles ] julian : [ chuckles ] sam : say hi to your grandpa . julian : oh , my -- ugh ! oh , my ! have you gotten bigger ? ! sam : bigger , yes . heavier , yes . julian : mm - hmm . danny : i talk . sam : yes . julian : you looking forward for christmas ? sam : are you ? julian : hmm ? christmas ? you looking forward to christmas ? danny : that 's a tree out there ? sam : yeah , the tree ! julian : that 's your christmas tree . and i bet you santa 's gon na spoil you rotten , huh ? sam : oh , forget santa . you should see what molly and his grandmother already wrapped for him for christmas . julian : oh , my goodness . how is your , uh -- how 's your sister ? sam : she 's better . i mean , she obviously misses her father . the first christmas is never easy after losing someone you love . julian : [ sighs ] shawn : did julian give you ric 's location ? jordan : he did . shawn : what are you doing ? jordan : calling the police . shawn : you 'd call the cops on your own people ? jordan : ric lansing is an innocent man . i mean , we do n't have any other options here . shawn : look , i 'll handle it . jordan : i do n't think it 's a good idea . shawn : if you call the cops , they 'll have to grab a judge and pull a warrant . ric 's as good as dead . the only shot we have at rescuing him before it 's too late is if you tell me where your boss is hiding him . johnny : do it . johnny : hey ! sonny : i thought we were gon na keep our distance , johnny . johnny : i thought we had a deal ! that was carlos . turns out your buddy shawn -- he 's not being so cooperative . he convinced one of julian 's people to give up ric 's location . sonny : shawn did that ? johnny : yeah . you bastard , man . you lied to me . sonny : you would have done the same , johnny . johnny : yeah , but i got the leverage in this situation , sonny . you just made a huge mistake . you just gave the kill order . because of you , your brother 's a dead man . silas : i should check on my patient . carly : right . you just got out of surgery . silas : i assume you 'll tell sonny he 's the father ? carly : yes . i 'll make sure he 's informed . thanks again for finding a way to expedite the test . silas : not a problem . carly : all right . now we know sonny 's the father . what do we do next ? morgan : i got to stop thinking about myself for once . i 'm disappointed . i mean , i ca n't help that . i really wanted to be the baby 's father . you know , i just feel like i 've lost michael -- he hates me . i lost my dad -- he 's in prison . and now i 've lost a baby that could have been my daughter , and i know she 's my sister , but it 's just not the same , kiki . it 's never gon na be the same . kiki : i know . for what it 's worth , i really wanted her to be yours . morgan : kiki , you know ... you 're the only person that 's been getting me through this . if it were n't for you , i 'd feel like i 'd splinter into a million pieces . nathan : i owe you for taking care of this for me . i just wish i could see the look on maxie 's face when she finds out . maxie : alexis ! what happened ? ! did i miss the meeting ? alexis : no . judge walters had another hearing on his calendar . maxie : great . so , you 're saying i blew it again ? alexis : no . he just wanted to speak to me . maxie : oh . alexis : you 're not gon na believe this , maxie , but judge walters reversed his ruling . maxie : what ? alexis : you get to see your daughter ! maxie : [ sighs ] sam : molly barely had a chance to get to know ric , and , in a way , i think that makes it harder on her , because she does n't have all those memories to draw on -- i mean , except for the last couple months that they spent together . i mean , molly adored her father , and i think it 's just -- it 's really hard on her now that he 's gone . julian : yeah . i know that . she 's made that very clear to me . sam : well , i just hope that molly eases up on my mom . i mean , she really needs her right now . she actually really ... needs all of us . she does n't even realize it . julian : well , for what it 's worth ... i hope that molly gets to spend christmas with her entire family . carlos : i 'm sorry , lansing . things did n't quite work out like they were supposed to . [ exhales deeply ] i got my orders now . [ clears throat ] i know people say this all the time , but ... it 's really nothing personal . shawn : drop it . johnny : that 's right , sonny . right about now , ricky boy 's taking a bullet to the head . guess he 'll see you in hell , huh ? sonny : i 'm gon na kill you , you son of a bitch ! and this time , no one 's around to stop me . franco : what about me ? [ next_on ] maxie : ( to nathan ) my christmas wish came true ! carly : ( to jason ) sonny 's a father again . franco : ( to sonny ) we really have to stop meeting like this . morgan : you 're important to me , kiki . alexis : ( to sam ) i have something to tell you . fluke : ( to julian ) hello , mr. jerome . carlos : ( to shawn and jordan , who are holding guns on him ) he gave the order , now i 'm gon na carry it out . | alexis refuses to represent franco . her colleague , henry sullivan , arrives to represent him . judge rachel lasser hears the case . alexis pleads not guilty by reason of insanity for nina . the judge remands nina to a psychiatric facility . henry sullivan pleads not guilty by reason of insanity on franco 's behalf . the judge rejects the plea because franco 's previous trial established that his mental issues were due to a brain tumor , which has been removed . she denies bail and remands him to pentonville . alexis tells maxie that judge walters reversed his decision so she will be able to see her daughter . | <s>[INST] alexis : all right . so , the arraignments are just a formality , so if we do everything by the book , you have a reasonable chance of having this go your way . is that understood ? nina : yes . i definitely understand , and i 'll follow your instructions to the letter -- definitely . i 'm just so grateful to you and `` j. `` i would n't have been able to get through this without him . alexis : well , through no fault of his own , he 's a member of my family -- that and the fact that he does care about you , nina , and he wants you to get through this . he would be here if he could . nina : i 'm just so happy that he sent me a great lawyer . alexis : you should be . so , let 's go see how the arraignment goes . franco : wait . what 's your big game plan for me ? alexis : there is n't a chance in hell that i 'm going to represent you . sam : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] sam : julian . hey . if you 're here to see my mom , she 's not here . julian : actually , i came here to see you . jordan : anna , i 've checked everywhere . so , if your theory is right , then julian and his team are smart enough to not leave a paper trail . no , no . i ca n't find any evidence that connects the jeromes to ric lansing 's disappearance . [ ringing ] carlos : i did n't think i 'd be hearing from you so soon , johnny . johnny : my friend okay ? carlos : uh , he 's less than thrilled with his new accommodations . he does n't realize he 's lucky to still be breathing right now . johnny : remind him he only stays that way if our friend complies . otherwise , he 's gon na be -- carlos : johnny ? johnny ? hello ? nathan : hey . any luck ? i promised her she 'd see her daughter for christmas . please . i really want to do this for maxie . maxie : do what for maxie ? [ elevator bell dings ] morgan : dr. clay , hey . my mom just got a call that the dna tests are in . did you see them ? do you know who the father is ? silas : i 'm sorry , morgan . i just got out of a 3-hour surgery . i did n't realize the results of the dna test were back . if you give me just a minute , we can go over them together . kiki : okay . yeah . thanks , dad ! silas : okay . morgan : cool . wow . all right . i 've waited for months . now i 'm gon na find out if i 'm the father or not . this is -- i 'm really nervous . carly : i know . i 'm nervous , too . i am . but we do n't have to wait much longer . it 's -- it 's almost over . morgan : yeah . nathan : yeah . i got to go . maxie : who was that ? nathan : nothin ' . maxie : oh , okay . i heard my name . nathan : [ sighs ] yeah . uh ... it was dante . i just wanted to see if he found out anything about walters . i mean , the guy 's obviously got a grudge to keep ruling the way that he does , and that 's wrong , and the thought of just lying here , doing nothing , is driving me crazy , so ... maxie : nathan , i appreciate you mentioning something to dante , but i do n't think that 's gon na do any good . nathan : come on , maxie . do n't say that . maxie : i 'm being realistic . it 's like the universe is trying to tell me something , you know ? i 'm not gon na be a good mother . nathan : you know that 's not true . maxie : i do n't know that 's not true . i 've barely spent any time with my daughter . i do n't even know what type of mother i 'll be . judge walters seems to think he knows what type of mother i 'll be , and he thinks i 'll be terrible . [ sighs ] the way things are going , i just do n't know if i 'll ever be allowed to see her . nathan : do you need me to list for you why you 're gon na be a good mother ? because i 've given this a lot of thought , you know . maxie : okay . nathan : you are caring . you 're loving . you 're nurturing . you 're creative . maxie : okay . okay . as much as i would love to hear you list all of my theoretical virtues , i just do n't think you see me clearly . nathan : no , i see you very clearly . i think i see you maybe even clearer than you see yourself . maxie : okay . well , regardless , this whole georgie situation -- it 's out of our control . and if it 's all the same to you , i 'd rather just focus on something else . nathan : okay . franco : you 're not gon na represent me ? alexis : correct . franco : and you 're telling me this now , right before we go in there for the arraignment ? nina : i do n't understand . remember we had this conversation in our cells and when you said that `` j `` sent you to represent me and i said on one condition -- that you represent franco , too ? alexis : you do n't get to make conditions . and i needed to secure your cooperation . franco : so you lied to her ? you just told her whatever you thought she wanted to hear ? you never had any intention of representing me , did you ? alexis : no , i did n't . franco : i have the right to an attorney . it says so in the constitution . alexis : indeed you do . franco : so , what happens now ? you 're just gon na pawn me off on some public defender ? nina : does `` j `` know you lied ? alexis : here 's the deal -- i do believe that everyone is entitled to the best defense . quite simply , i ca n't provide that for you -- the best defense -- because i 'm biased . and i ca n't claim that you 're innocent after what you did to my daughter . julian : so , can i come in ? sam : just please do n't ask about my mother , because i do n't want to get involved . julian : it 's not about that . i heard you were attacked . i was concerned . ca n't a father check in on his daughter after an ordeal like that ? sam : yes . come in . i was n't actually attacked . more like they used me as leverage . julian : i do n't really see the difference . are you sure you 're okay ? sam : yeah . promise . julian : okay . what about the cops ? do they have any leads ? sam : no . julian : so , this guy was able to waltz right in to the police station , in front of all these cops , and they still do n't have a suspect ? sam : nope . julian : but you do ? sam : well , it 's just a theory . julian : okay . you want to tell me who he is ? i 'll handle it . sam : [ chuckles ] why -- so you can have your enforcer carlos take care of him ? carlos : johnny ? johnny : i 'm gon na have to call you back , carlos . i got company . carlos : corinthos ? johnny : yep . hey , be sure to tell ric his brother 's thinking about him . sonny : that 's a nice phone you got there . i did n't realize we were allowed . johnny : yeah , man . pay phone 's gon na be a hassle . everybody eavesdrops , and i 'm not just talking about the guards and the other inmates . no , no . they tap the lines , and then they trace your calls , so , you know , a personal phone 's better when you need your privacy . sonny : you 're very lucky no one 's turned you in to the guards . johnny : i trust you 're gon na keep your mouth shut . otherwise , how am i gon na let carlos know to keep ric alive , huh ? sonny : relax . i 'm no snitch . as far as ric , uh ... duke and shawn are cooperating . johnny : yeah , yeah . carlos said he had a productive meeting -- almost too productive . sonny : i did my part . i just need more proof that ric 's still alive . jordan : there 's nothing in here . well , i re - established contact with julian last night , and you know what ? i 'm just gon na ask him outright . i 'm gon na ask him outright about ric . well , yeah , i know it 's risky , but it 's our only shot here . no , no , no , no . interrogating julian did us no good , okay ? this is our best chance of finding -- of finding ric without tipping anybody off . jordan : uh , i have to go . yeah , i 'll be in touch . that was , uh -- shawn : you know what ? i really do n't care . you making big plans with rivera ? jordan : what ? shawn : come on . stop trying to play me , jordan . i saw you yesterday at the metro court -- you , carlos , and julian . so , that 's how it is ? you in deep with them again ? jordan : i have someplace to be . shawn : oh , let me guess -- you have to check on ric lansing ? sonny : hey , johnny , pull out that little phone of yours . call whoever is holding ric . tell them i want to talk to my brother . johnny : i 'm not gon na risk getting caught with this just so you can have peace of mind . sonny : johnny , how am i supposed to know that ric 's still alive ? johnny : same way i 'm supposed to trust that duke and shawn are gon na play ball . it was surprising how quickly you got them to turn over your territory . shawn : so , you 're gon na hand over everything you 've worked so hard for to that punk ? sonny : no . shawn : so , ric dies ? sonny : not that , either . you are gon na snatch ric from the zacchara people . sonny : you did n't leave me a choice . i already lost my son . the least i can do is keep my brother breathing . johnny : that does n't mean your lieutenants are willing to comply . sonny : johnny ... duke and shawn are my soldiers . they do n't make a move ... unless i give them an order . jordan : what are you talking about ? shawn : save it , jordan . i know . jordan : shawn , i 'm serious . i do n't know what you 're talking about . shawn : you mean to tell me your boss is holding ric lansing hostage and you 're out of the loop ? sam : my mom said that she ran in to you at the courthouse after the arraignment and carlos rivera bailed you out . julian : yeah . carlos is an old friend . sam : she also basically confirmed that you are back in the mob , not that you ever left anyway . julian : i 'm not gon na lie to you . sam : well , you 're not gon na deny it , either , are you ? julian : let 's just say if i were to get involved in that life again , things will be different . there 'll be no more drugs , no kids ending up like rafe . i 'd make sure of it from inside the organization . sam : hypothetically ? julian : hypothetically . sam : what am i supposed to tell my son -- that his grandfather is one of the `` good `` mobsters ? julian : look [ sighs ] sam , i ca n't claim to be a good man . i 'm just trying to be a good father to you and lucas , good grandfather to danny . i ca n't really do that without your help . your mom 's already written me off . i hope you have n't . alexis : i referred you to a lawyer in our firm . he should be here any minute . franco : and i have no say in who represents me ? alexis : sure , you do . if you do n't like him , you can find one of those public defenders you just mentioned . nina : this was n't our agreement . alexis : i know . he assaulted my daughter , so i really ca n't defend him . it would be a conflict of interest . [ footsteps approach ] henry : alexis . franco : who 's this ? henry : henry sullivan . nice to meet you . franco : he 's 12 . alexis : one of the best litigators we have . franco : is he ? how 'bout it , slick ? you gon na be able to keep me out of pentonville ? henry : that remains to be seen , mr. frank . franco : uh , actually , mr. frank is my father . people call me `` franco . `` henry : this is n't a gallery opening . it 's an arraignment on multiple felony charges , including kidnapping . your legal name is robert frank . that 's the name the judge will use , and you 're not going to contradict her . you 're not going to make witty quips or mock the proceedings . you 're gon na sit still , do as i say , and try to look appropriately remorseful . franco : why do n't you like me ? henry : i 'm not required to like you . i 've been retained to defend you . do yourself a favor . do n't get in my way . alexis : the courtroom is filling up . we should probably go in . henry : after you . nina : uh , i really appreciate everything you 're doing for me . please promise me that this is n't just some trick to ruin franco 's chances . alexis : nina , you have my word . this is the best shot franco has for getting away with what he 's done . scott : you do n't look too bad for a guy who 's about to be arraigned . franco : thanks , pops . scott : listen , i just want to tell you that letter that you wrote me -- it meant a lot to me . franco : i 'm glad to hear it . hey , if things do n't go my way , maybe you could write me back so i 'll have something to read to pass the time . scott : well , let 's hope it does n't go that way . bailiff : all rise ! court is now in session . honorable judge rachel lasser presiding . judge lasser : be seated . d.a . baldwin , i have to say i 'm surprised to see you here . scott : well , i am the district attorney . judge lasser : and one of the defendants is your son . scott : yes , and that 's why i 'll be prosecuting nina clay and my associate ada wallace will be prosecuting franco -- mr. frank . judge lasser : well , we wo n't keep you from your duties , mr. district attorney . let 's begin with your case , shall we ? that would be docket number 428 , the people vs. nina clay . maxie : `` pretty sneaky , sis ! `` nathan : huh ? maxie : you know , from the commercial . you totally blocked my move . `` here , diagonally ! `` nathan : yeah , right . sorry . maxie : you keep looking at your phone . nathan : no , i 'm not . maxie : yes , you are . what 's going on ? nathan : nina 's being arraigned today . maxie : oh . sorry . no wonder you 're worried . nathan : well , alexis said she was gon na represent her , and i 'm just sitting here , waiting to hear how it went . maxie : well , i hope she has better luck in court than i did . judge lasser : nina clay , you are facing multiple charges -- one count aggravated assault , madeline reeves , one count of aggravated assault , ava jerome , one count of prescription fraud , one count of endangerment to a minor , one count of kidnapping . how do you plead ? alexis : your honor , my client pleads not guilty by reason of insanity . [ people murmur ] [ gavel bangs ] judge lasser : quiet , please ! counselor , i assume you have some documentation to substantiate this plea ? alexis : i do , your honor . i have nina clay 's medical records . may i approach ? judge lasser : please . alexis : thank you . ms. clay was incapable of understanding her actions . she was comatose for 22 years . she recently awakened to find that her mother was responsible for the assault that rendered her comatose , as well as causing her miscarriage . she 's had a break from reality . this is a sworn affidavit from the pcpd staff psychologist , who said that when nina was taken into custody , she suffered a mental breakdown . judge lasser : i see . alexis : i 'm requesting that ms. clay be evaluated by a mental - health facility . judge lasser : and how does the da 's office feel about this ? scott : we have no objection with that . judge lasser : very well . i order that nina clay be remanded to an appropriate psychiatric facility for further evaluation . nina : but i 'm not crazy . alexis : trust me , nina -- this is good . it 's much better than prison . nina : okay . well , you 'll call `` j `` and you 'll tell him , right ? alexis : i will call him right now . franco : hey . nina : hey . franco : you did great . this will all be over before you know it . nina : they think i 'm crazy . you do n't think i 'm crazy , do you ? franco : i think this is just all part of the process . and i think you 're gon na be okay . you are . you 're gon na be okay . i promise . nathan : so , they accepted the insanity plea ? alexis : yeah . she 's been remanded to a psychiatric facility , and she 'll get the help that she needs there , and hopefully she 'll recover and she 'll be able to start over . nathan : alexis , thank you . thank you . i have no idea what i would have done without you . alexis : uh , sorry . i 'm getting another call . can you hang on ? well , that 's a coincidence . it 's judge walters . nathan : you do n't say . judge lasser : this is docket number 429 , the people vs. robert frank . mr. frank , you are charged with four counts of unlawful imprisonment , one count of obstruction of justice , and one count of kidnapping . how do you plead ? henry : your honor , my client pleads not guilty by reason of insanity . we request that he be evaluated in the same manner as that of his alleged co- conspirator , nina clay . wallace : the district attorney 's office has no objections , your honor . judge lasser : well , good for the district attorney . i , however , have plenty . jordan : okay , i had no idea that julian is holding ric lansing . what do you know about this ? all right , shawn . if you want me to help you , you 're gon na have to tell me what you know . shawn : i 'm taking a risk on coming to you . jordan : and i 'm not ? i should n't even be having this conversation with you . shawn : look , julian and carlos are holding ric lansing hostage for johnny zacchara . now , they 're gon na kill him if sonny does n't hand over his territory . now , i know you have a line you wo n't cross , and you warned me when the jeromes were targeting michael , and you said it was because michael was innocent . well , i am telling you ric lansing 's innocent , too . now , if you really did n't have a part in taking him hostage , i 'm guessing you wo n't want to see him dead . so ... do you want to help me save him ? julian : yeah , okay . there are aspects of my life that ca n't be denied anymore . i tried distancing myself form them , but i could n't . it does n't mean i do n't want to have a relationship with my family . sam : look , you 're the only father i 've got . i 'm not gon na shut you out . julian : thank you . sam : but there have to be ground rules . i am no stranger to the mob . when i first met jason , he was involved with sonny . he could n't give it up , and i did n't ask him to . but that -- that life is in my past , and i do n't want what you do around me or my son . there are no questions about it , no discussions , nothing . julian : i understand . thank you . bad enough losing your mom , but [ sighs ] losing you ... sam : okay . all right . let me go wake danny up . i 'm sure he 'd love to see you . julian : okay . great . [ cell phone rings ] julian : jordan , what can i do for you ? jordan : i need you to tell me where you 've stashed ric lansing . [ banging ] carlos : shut up , lansing . i gave you food and water . i even let you stretch your legs last night , so just sit tight [ laughs ] not that you have a choice . it 'll all be over soon . julian : which reminds me , you need to keep your nose clean . cops are gon na come after you to cement their case against me . carlos : i 'm surprised they have n't picked you up already . jordan : luck . [ chuckles ] johnny : well , as soon as i get confirmation that duke and shawn are cooperating and following your orders , they 've met my terms , ric will be released . in the meantime , how 's the rest of your family ? sonny : we gon na chat now ? johnny : might as well stay cordial , right ? hey , you ever find that baby ? sonny : not that it 's any of your business ... but the baby 's safe . johnny : you must be so relieved . you know , that little girl is the perfect symbol of what we 're trying to create -- this alliance . she 's part jerome , part corinthos . that reminds me , did they ever find out who the baby daddy was ? morgan : hey . silas : everyone ready ? morgan : yeah . carly : yeah . can you tell us , please ? silas : the test indicates that carly and the baby are not related . morgan : so , um -- so , that means that ... silas : i 'm sorry , morgan . you 're not the baby 's father . morgan : there 's no chance of , like , a mistake , or ... silas : the results are conclusive . carly and the baby are not related , which means sonny 's the father . morgan : okay . yeah . he 's -- he 's the dad . i 'm the brother , so all right . silas : you 're gon na be a good big brother . morgan : thanks . carly : i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . morgan : it 's okay . um ... you know , i wanted it so bad , but that 's -- that 's stupid , because , i mean , what kind of father would i have been anyway , you know ? carly : you would have been a wonderful father . you would have been a wonderful father , and you 're gon na be a wonderful big brother , and this little girl is gon na love you and look up to you and admire you just like josslyn does . morgan : it 's better this way , right ? carly : it does n't matter how this little girl came to be here . she 's perfect and she 's beautiful , and we 're gon na love her , and she 's a part of our family , and that 's all that matters . morgan : yeah . yeah . you 're right . you 're right . i 'm gon na -- can i just say something ? can i just say thank you for running the test and stuff ? i appreciate that . silas : i 'm sorry it was n't the outcome you were hoping for . morgan : it 's all right . i just want to know , is there anything else we need to do -- anything official ? like , does my dad 's name maybe need to be on her birth certificate ? does she have one ? carly : we can figure that out later . you have a lot that you 're dealing with right now . morgan : yeah . i do n't really know how to feel about this . carly : come here . you know what ? um ... bad things happen fast , and we have to live through them slow . big emotions take some time to sort through , and you 've had a really big disappointment here . morgan : i know . i did n't , um -- i did n't really think you would understand , mom . i thought you were just gon na be relieved . carly : you 're never relieved when your kid 's hurting . and one day , when you 're older and you 're with someone you love and the time is right , you 're gon na have a child of your own and you 'll understand completely . you will . morgan : thanks , mom . um , can i just talk -- kiki , can i talk to you for a second ? kiki : sure . morgan : i 'm only gon na be a second . carly : yeah . it 's okay . [ sighs ] i hate how much morgan is hurting , but , um ... he 's right , you know . this is for the best . nathan : thanks , alexis . so , alexis just got off the phone with judge walters , and he wants to meet with her in a couple of minutes . maxie : great . he probably found out we 're hanging out and he wants to add another six months . nathan : or not . maxie : you 're right . he probably wants to add a whole year -- maybe even a lifetime ban . hell , at this rate , i 'll probably be banned from seeing my future grandchildren , the way he has it out for me . nathan : just -- please , just go to the courthouse . you and alexis need to hear what he has to say . there 's no use being negative . maxie : i 'm not being negative . he hates me . i 'm not gon na give judge walters the satisfaction of stomping on my heart again . whatever he has to say , he can say it to alexis without me there . judge lasser : the court does not accept mr. frank 's insanity plea . henry : we would still request mr. frank undergo psychiatric -- franco : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second ! i 'm nuts , right ? i 'm bananas ! i 'm completely out of my mind ! everybody knows that ! [ gavel bangs ] franco : i 'd have to be a psychopath to do half of the things that i 've done ! judge lasser : mr. sullivan ... franco : i have voices -- tell her about the voices in my head ! tell her ! they 're maddening ! what ? no ! stop ! i -- no ! i 'm not in my right mind ! i need psychological help ! henry : you want to add a contempt citation ? shut up and sit down . franco : all right . judge lasser : mr. frank , putting aside the egregious conflict of interest between you and the district attorney , it has already been established that you are , in fact , not insane . 15 months ago , the court determined that you were not guilty of the gruesome acts of violence you had perpetrated because you were suffering from a brain tumor -- not mental illness but a physical medical condition . you ca n't have it both ways . if the brain tumor was responsible for your past criminal actions and the brain tumor has been removed , then the responsibility for your current actions lies with you and you alone . you are not an ill man , mr. frank -- just a criminal . keeping in mind that you recently fled the country , i deem you a flight risk . i am denying you bail . you will be remanded to the pentonville penitentiary to await trial . johnny : no , no , no . that 's right . that 's right . that woman skipped town so fast with that baby , you did n't have time to get a dna test done . sonny : i 'm not discussing ava 's kid with you , johnny . johnny : yeah , well , say what you want about my family , but my father never stole a woman from me , man . that 's -- ooh . that 's harsh . sonny : you know what , johnny ? when you say `` father , `` do you mean anthony or gino ? do n't get any closer . your pals are n't here to protect you , so you really want to throw down with me ? i say we keep our distance until this ric situation is handled . julian : you 're asking me about ric ? how should i know where they buried that poor bastard ? jordan : look , i know you got him . julian : really ? how 's that ? jordan : well , anna devane and a whole slew of cops just came and searched the gallery . yeah . and they were asking me what i know about you snatching up ric lansing from witness protection . and i could n't answer them . you know why ? because i thought he was dead . julian : not quite . [ sighs ] we grabbed him a few nights ago . jordan : oh . hey , i get it , right ? i mean , you 're my boss and you 've got to play things close to your chest , but , honey , i ca n't cover for you if you do n't tell me what 's going on . so , where are we keeping ric ? nathan : i know how much you love your daughter . you 're not gon na give up on seeing her without a fight . maxie : of course not . show me a battle and i will fight , but i do n't see one , and i have no moves . nathan : no . see ? so , earlier , you said that i blocked you . but i 've been kicking myself because i did n't . i set you up for the big win . [ groans ] see ? so , you thought you had no moves , but , lo and behold , you won . see ? sometimes it only seems like a no - win situation . would n't you rather find out for yourself ? maxie : so , in other words , i should go to the courthouse to meet alexis ? `` pretty sneaky , sis . `` [ chuckles ] carly : so , ava 's on her way to prison , probably for the rest of her life ? silas : it looks that way . carly : and kiki had been the baby 's next of kin . now that sonny 's officially the father , morgan 's also the next of kin . morgan : she 's my sister . kiki : she 's mine , too . morgan : yeah , that part 's a little weird . kiki : more than a little . i 'm worried about her -- really worried . i know you love your dad , despite his faults , and i love my mom , too , but they are screwed up , and that 's putting it nicely . morgan : yeah , i know , but none of that 's the baby 's fault , though . kiki : i know that it 's not . your dad is in prison , and my mom is on her way there . neither of them can take care of her . she 's gon na need us . henry : your honor , should n't we let the doctors decide whether my client is even fit to stand to trial ? judge lasser : my decision is final . you 're free to appeal , but i warn you , you wo n't be successful . court adjourned . bailiff : all rise ! scott : hey . i 'm sorry , son . i tried . franco : i know you did . i got to talk to nina . scott : hey , give him a minute , will you ? nina : this is n't how it was supposed to work . we were supposed to go together . franco : i know . i 'm sorry . nina : i ca n't go by myself . franco : yeah , you can . you 're gon na be fine . you 're gon na get better . nina : no . franco : you 're gon na get your life back . nina : no . i ca n't go by myself . i ca n't . i need you go to with me . franco : you can do this . nina : [ crying ] i ca n't go by myself . franco : i 'm so sorry . nina : please let me go ! franco : just do what they tell you to do and you 're gon na be okay ! nina : we were supposed to do this together ! i 'm afraid ! franco : can you just give me a second here ? nina : i 'm scared ! i 'm scared ! we were supposed to be a family ! no ! i do n't want to go ! franco : she 's scared ! she 's just scared -- that 's all ! alexis : [ sighs ] sam : look who i found ! julian : oh - ho - ho - ho ! come here , little man ! sam : [ chuckles ] julian : [ chuckles ] sam : say hi to your grandpa . julian : oh , my -- ugh ! oh , my ! have you gotten bigger ? ! sam : bigger , yes . heavier , yes . julian : mm - hmm . danny : i talk . sam : yes . julian : you looking forward for christmas ? sam : are you ? julian : hmm ? christmas ? you looking forward to christmas ? danny : that 's a tree out there ? sam : yeah , the tree ! julian : that 's your christmas tree . and i bet you santa 's gon na spoil you rotten , huh ? sam : oh , forget santa . you should see what molly and his grandmother already wrapped for him for christmas . julian : oh , my goodness . how is your , uh -- how 's your sister ? sam : she 's better . i mean , she obviously misses her father . the first christmas is never easy after losing someone you love . julian : [ sighs ] shawn : did julian give you ric 's location ? jordan : he did . shawn : what are you doing ? jordan : calling the police . shawn : you 'd call the cops on your own people ? jordan : ric lansing is an innocent man . i mean , we do n't have any other options here . shawn : look , i 'll handle it . jordan : i do n't think it 's a good idea . shawn : if you call the cops , they 'll have to grab a judge and pull a warrant . ric 's as good as dead . the only shot we have at rescuing him before it 's too late is if you tell me where your boss is hiding him . johnny : do it . johnny : hey ! sonny : i thought we were gon na keep our distance , johnny . johnny : i thought we had a deal ! that was carlos . turns out your buddy shawn -- he 's not being so cooperative . he convinced one of julian 's people to give up ric 's location . sonny : shawn did that ? johnny : yeah . you bastard , man . you lied to me . sonny : you would have done the same , johnny . johnny : yeah , but i got the leverage in this situation , sonny . you just made a huge mistake . you just gave the kill order . because of you , your brother 's a dead man . silas : i should check on my patient . carly : right . you just got out of surgery . silas : i assume you 'll tell sonny he 's the father ? carly : yes . i 'll make sure he 's informed . thanks again for finding a way to expedite the test . silas : not a problem . carly : all right . now we know sonny 's the father . what do we do next ? morgan : i got to stop thinking about myself for once . i 'm disappointed . i mean , i ca n't help that . i really wanted to be the baby 's father . you know , i just feel like i 've lost michael -- he hates me . i lost my dad -- he 's in prison . and now i 've lost a baby that could have been my daughter , and i know she 's my sister , but it 's just not the same , kiki . it 's never gon na be the same . kiki : i know . for what it 's worth , i really wanted her to be yours . morgan : kiki , you know ... you 're the only person that 's been getting me through this . if it were n't for you , i 'd feel like i 'd splinter into a million pieces . nathan : i owe you for taking care of this for me . i just wish i could see the look on maxie 's face when she finds out . maxie : alexis ! what happened ? ! did i miss the meeting ? alexis : no . judge walters had another hearing on his calendar . maxie : great . so , you 're saying i blew it again ? alexis : no . he just wanted to speak to me . maxie : oh . alexis : you 're not gon na believe this , maxie , but judge walters reversed his ruling . maxie : what ? alexis : you get to see your daughter ! maxie : [ sighs ] sam : molly barely had a chance to get to know ric , and , in a way , i think that makes it harder on her , because she does n't have all those memories to draw on -- i mean , except for the last couple months that they spent together . i mean , molly adored her father , and i think it 's just -- it 's really hard on her now that he 's gone . julian : yeah . i know that . she 's made that very clear to me . sam : well , i just hope that molly eases up on my mom . i mean , she really needs her right now . she actually really ... needs all of us . she does n't even realize it . julian : well , for what it 's worth ... i hope that molly gets to spend christmas with her entire family . carlos : i 'm sorry , lansing . things did n't quite work out like they were supposed to . [ exhales deeply ] i got my orders now . [ clears throat ] i know people say this all the time , but ... it 's really nothing personal . shawn : drop it . johnny : that 's right , sonny . right about now , ricky boy 's taking a bullet to the head . guess he 'll see you in hell , huh ? sonny : i 'm gon na kill you , you son of a bitch ! and this time , no one 's around to stop me . franco : what about me ? [ next_on ] maxie : ( to nathan ) my christmas wish came true ! carly : ( to jason ) sonny 's a father again . franco : ( to sonny ) we really have to stop meeting like this . morgan : you 're important to me , kiki . alexis : ( to sam ) i have something to tell you . fluke : ( to julian ) hello , mr. jerome . carlos : ( to shawn and jordan , who are holding guns on him ) he gave the order , now i 'm gon na carry it out .Summarize.[/INST]alexis refuses to represent franco . her colleague , henry sullivan , arrives to represent him . judge rachel lasser hears the case . alexis pleads not guilty by reason of insanity for nina . the judge remands nina to a psychiatric facility . henry sullivan pleads not guilty by reason of insanity on franco 's behalf . the judge rejects the plea because franco 's previous trial established that his mental issues were due to a brain tumor , which has been removed . she denies bail and remands him to pentonville . alexis tells maxie that judge walters reversed his decision so she will be able to see her daughter .</s> | 12,272 |

gus : why did n't you tell me you were hurt ? harley : i did n't even know until now . gus , i didn't ... i do n't want to make a stink . because i do n't want to slow you down , okay . we have to use this little window of time to break olivia . you ca n't be worrying about me . please . gus : have you realized that olivia and the spauldings are n't the only ones who are going to think you 're dead ?

because you 're a born leader just like your father was . and , elizabeth , i do n't have to tell you , sweetheart , how much like your father you are . you already know that . i will only say this : do n't ever resist it . embrace it . because your father loved you till his dying day . i can only hope that you will love him to yours . well , why do n't we have some cake , aunt alex ?

gus : where else should i be ? alexandra : well , i do n't know . i thought maybe you might be with the coopers . the people who loved her every bit as much as you did . instead of coming to the house of the man who sent her this fate . gus : that man is my father . i ca n't seem to get around that . alexandra : well , do n't expect to get any sympathy from him tonight . let me tell you , he 's in there right now celebrating phillip 's life . not harley 's death . gus : is olivia in there ?

gus : do you have to ask me a million questions ? just let me get in there and do what i have to do , all right . alexandra : what ? which is what ? hmm ? you 're acting very , very odd . let me tell you that . because i should think the only thing you 'd be thinking about right now is harley . and you could stand here as if ... well , not really anything happened . i 'm not ... she 's not dead is she ? she 's alive . was this a whole plan ? a plan to escape ? you helped harley escape . and she 's alive ? lillian : `` my daddy is an angel , `` by zach spaulding . this is a wonderful book , honey . `` my daddy died and now he 's an angel . i ca n't see him anymore , but he sees me . angels are everywhere . they see everything . they touch us in our dark moments to help us find our way back to the light . they use their wings to wipe away our tears . we feel their light touch on our arm as they travel with us , so we do n't feel quite so alone . but most of all , they know what 's right and wrong in the world and they know how to fix it . `` coming up on `` guiding light . `` buzz : we 're the difference between her being caught and getting away . so do n't you say a word . you keep your mouth shut , do you hear me ?

because you 're a born leader just like your father was . and , elizabeth , i do n't have to tell you , sweetheart , how much like your father you are . you already know that . i will only say this : do n't ever resist it . embrace it . because your father loved you till his dying day . i can only hope that you will love him to yours . well , why do n't we have some cake , aunt alex ? alexandra : yes , yes . well , i will go speak to the cook about that . you stay here and enjoy your grandchildren . gus . gus : what 's up ? alexandra : you heard about harley . i 'm so sorry . tragic . she 's dea ... gus : what ? alexandra : well , unless of course she isn't . well , i mean it could be a mistake , right ? i mean the prison made a mistake . maybe harley was never on that bus to begin with . gus : maybe . alexandra : yes . what are you doing here ? gus : where else should i be ? alexandra : well , i do n't know . i thought maybe you might be with the coopers . the people who loved her every bit as much as you did . instead of coming to the house of the man who sent her this fate . gus : that man is my father . i ca n't seem to get around that . alexandra : well , do n't expect to get any sympathy from him tonight . let me tell you , he 's in there right now celebrating phillip 's life . not harley 's death . gus : is olivia in there ?

gus : do you have to ask me a million questions ? just let me get in there and do what i have to do , all right . alexandra : what ? which is what ? hmm ? you 're acting very , very odd . let me tell you that . because i should think the only thing you 'd be thinking about right now is harley . and you could stand here as if ... well , not really anything happened . i 'm not ... she 's not dead is she ? she 's alive . was this a whole plan ? a plan to escape ? you helped harley escape . and she 's alive ? lillian : `` my daddy is an angel , `` by zach spaulding . this is a wonderful book , honey . `` my daddy died and now he 's an angel . i ca n't see him anymore , but he sees me . angels are everywhere . they see everything . they touch us in our dark moments to help us find our way back to the light . they use their wings to wipe away our tears . we feel their light touch on our arm as they travel with us , so we do n't feel quite so alone . but most of all , they know what 's right and wrong in the world and they know how to fix it . `` coming up on `` guiding light . `` buzz : we 're the difference between her being caught and getting away . so do n't you say a word . you keep your mouth shut , do you hear me ?

( sighs ) victor : can he do this ? ronan : over the past few days , i 've been lied to quite a bit by the majority of people in this room . now i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and assume you did n't all conspire to kill diane jenkins , so then it follows that most of you are lying to cover your own butt about something else . now that 's a big mistake . we 've recovered a lot of physical evidence from the crime scene . we can place many of you there beyond a shadow of a doubt . paul : he 's not bluffing . we have footprints . we have many personal items that were either dropped or placed at the scene . nick : what kind of items ? ronan : among other things , jewelry and a key . oh , we also have diane 's phone records , so then you know that we know she texted many of you not long before she died , which means this -- those of you that are n't giving us a truthful account of your whereabouts and activities that night , you 're leaving to up to somebody else to do for you . look around this room . are you confident they have your back ? are you comfortable putting your freedom and your future in these peoples ' hands ? if so , by all means , maintain your silence . if not , you know where to find me . abby : well , that was completely inappropriate . jack : at least he had the decency to make sure kyle did n't hear it . i got ta get him home . victor : sweetheart , do n't be swayed by that grandstanding show - off of a detective , all right ? he is bluffing -- obviously bluffing . so do n't you say anything that will incriminate yourself , abby : i wo n't . i - i have n't . i just hope that nobody else does . ashley : so do you buy this whole idea that detective malloy has a secret source feeding him information ? phyllis : no , i - i think that was a fishing expedition . ashley : yeah , you 're probably right . tucker : i do n't think it 's anything any of us have to worry about . jack : i understand your wanting to come back and say a private good - bye to your mom . she will always be a part of you . you 'll be aware of her presence in your heart , in your mind . victor : kyle , i have something for you . victor : this picture i took when last you and your mother went riding . kyle : that 's really nice . thank you . lauren : kyle ? would you like to take home the condolence book ? kyle : yes , please . michael : reverend fulton did a good job , did n't he ? lauren : yeah . victor : i did n't discuss the custody agreement with you for obvious reasons . jack : that agreement has no validity . victor : we shall see about that , jack . jack : ( quietly ) damn you , diane . even from your grave , you 're gon na try to keep him away from me . i stopped you once . i will do it again .

jack : good morning . nikki : well , good morning to you . jack : so i hope you slept well . i hope the guest room was comfortable . nikki : oh , it was so cozy . i was asleep before my head hit the pillow . jack : still feeling any pain ? nikki : believe it or not , it has pretty much dissipated . i have n't felt this good in ages . jack : wow . that 's tremendous news . nikki : yeah . my hands are still a little bit stiff , but that will start to fade . i am just so happy that the concert and all the stress that went with it is over . thanks again for getting me out of there . i could n't have stood another second at that party after what happened with victor and nicholas . jack : well , the rest of the world did n't realize anything was amiss . they think the newmans knocked it out of the park last night . all the press on the benefit is fantastic , and this picture is everywhere . nikki : oh . if only that were real , huh ? it 's all just a big lie , a lie i perpetuated . but the truth ca n't stay hidden forever . ashley : well , hello , victor . hi , there . victor : well . nice to see you . ashley : you , too . victor : care to join me for breakfast ? ashley : oh , i ca n't . i have a meeting with a business associate . but once again , congratulations on last night . it was really a terrific event . victor : a lot of that is due to our daughter . ashley : oh , please . she would n't mind hearing that a couple hundred more times . victor : well , i will tell her how much i appreciate her loyalty . ashley : unlike other members of your family that are n't quite as loyal ? i saw nick and nikki . they left early last night . victor : hmm . anyway , please have a seat . the concert was a success . ashley : uh - oh . there you go again . do n't do that . victor : do n't do what ? ashley : you 're shutting down . i know you . before you tell me it 's none of my business , you remember what affects you affects abby , and therefore it does affect me . plus i do care . victor : i 'm glad you do . ashley : so what 's going on with your family ? why did nikki leave you here last night ? tessa : good morning . mariah : hey . morning . tessa : thanks again for letting me stay over and lending me something to wear since i 'm going to be avoiding the main house for a while . mariah : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's the least i can do considering i blubbered all over you all night . i - i ca n't believe that i did that , crying about devon . kind of mortified , actually . tessa : hey , do n't be . i 'm glad i could be there for you . now , the question is , will you tell devon everything you told me , or are you gon na keep pretending everything 's fine ? scott : where 's victor ? abby : he 's not here yet . but when he does arrive , you better be prepared for anything . scott : why ? what 'd i miss ? abby : well , he could still be ticked off about what happened with nick at the party last night , or he could only want to go over our projects , which is what i just delivered . scott : you know , i do n't know what went down , either , but it seems that your family can be pretty shakespearean . how is it that you and your dad can act like it 's business as usual today ? i mean , do n't you think he 'd want to discuss what hap -- abby : i 'm sorry . do n't you get it ? it 's not up to me . and this is n't your family , so back off . scott : if victor needs me , he knows where to find me . abby : scott , wait . [ sighs ] i am sorry . you did n't deserve that . scott : [ sighs ] neither did you . i could have been more sensitive . i can be pretty , uh , direct sometimes . abby : sometimes ? scott : listen , if this was my family , i 'd want to hash it out . i - i would n't want to let it fester . abby : yeah , i would love to , believe . i - i would . but that 's just not how my family works . when i asked my dad and victoria what happened last night , they refused to explain . scott : you feel like you 're on the outside . abby : and i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na say i 'm making this all about me . scott : no , no , no , no . abby : oh , you accused me of doing that before . scott : i was n't trying to criticize you , okay ? it was an observation , and i can see that this is not easy for you . abby : oh . scott : we may not see eye to eye on everything . but i could tell that you -- you killed yourself making that event perfect for victor and nikki . unlike your brother , who went out of his way to find trouble . so i hope that when you do talk to victor that you can toot your own horn a little , make sure it 's clear that he should n't take you for granted . graham : i 'm sorry jack did n't spend as much time with you last night as you were led to expect . dina : where in the world are my reading glasses ? i know i - i had them here last night . they were right inside my purse . graham : is it possible you left them at the concert pavilion or the restaurant ? dina : well , i suppose so . graham : think about when and where you may have taken them out of your purse . dina : uh , well , the last time i checked , it was at the concert briefly . graham : keep looking here . i 'll go check the venue . perhaps they just fell under your seat . dina : uh , you would do that for me ? graham : of course . dina : oh . graham : i do n't want you to worry . dina : oh , thank you . i love the way you take such good care of me . graham : i try . i try . dina : you certainly do . and i really wish you had been at the event last night , especially since jack proved to be such a disappointing escort . graham : i promise to never disappoint you . dina : oh , i know you never will . mm - hmm . nikki : what great service . jack : well , give it a try . tell me what you think . nikki : thank you very much . mmm . it 's good . jack : okay , it 's ... not good . nikki : it is too good ! what is the matter with you ? it 's delicious . jack : i do n't know what i did wrong . nikki : i have decided that everything up here at the cabin is better . the quiet , the trees , the lake , the breakfast . [ laughs ] the ranch has been so oppressive lately . up here it 's just nice and quiet and relaxing . jack : i feel the same way . i actually did n't realize how much i needed to get away . nikki : yeah , you 've been dealing with a lot yourself . things at work and dina being back in town . jack : no , no , no , no . i do n't want you worrying about me . i will always land on my feet , just like you . nikki : uh , i was n't quite too sure - footed last night . jack : well , you did n't let it show . nikki : you know , i thought the concert itself would be my only challenge last night . boy , was i wrong . i assumed it would be easy to play the perfect , happy family . jack : well , this time the family did n't all line up just right . nikki : this charade really took nicholas to his breaking point . and then victor ... i have a lot to face when i get home . jack : yeah , speaking of that , uh , as much as i 'd like to linger here , after breakfast we should talk about getting back to town . nikki : back to reality . jack : you ready to face what 's waiting for you ? nikki : no . ashley : a fist fight ? victor : it was one punch . that 's all . ashley : what could possibly make you want to get physically violent with your own child ? victor : my son nicholas was angry with me because i would n't listen to him . he wanted me to stop nikki from performing last night . ashley : well , that does n't make any sense . why would he want that ? victor : it does n't make any sense to you because you do n't know that nikki 's m.s . had flared up just before the concert . ashley : oh . no . victor : but i did n't know about that . she kept it from me . otherwise i would never have encouraged her to perform . ashley : of course you would n't have . but why did she keep that from you ? victor : i guess to prove a point . ashley : you 'd think that after all the years you 've been together , there 'd be nothing left to prove . victor : one would think that . and i have a feeling that your brother jack whispered sweet nothings into her ear , tried to convince her that he cares more about her wellbeing than i do . ashley : nikki 's friendship does mean a lot to jack . now that i understand what was going on , i can see why he made a point of getting her out of here last night . although i 'm pretty sure you were n't too thrilled about that . victor : so your brother left with my wife . boy , that is not how i imagined the evening would end . ashley : oh , my business associate is here . i 'm sorry you 're going through all this with your family . but i know that you and nikki are gon na get through it because you always do . it was good seeing you . victor : same to you . ashley : bye . victor : bye . ashley : hi . how are you ? dina : ravi ! what a surprise to see you here . ravi : i 'm surprised you can see me at all . dina : uh , what do you mean , dear ? ravi : i believe these are yours . dina : oh , thank heavens ! yes , yes ! where in the world did you find them ? ravi : uh , backseat of my car . they must have fallen out of your purse last night . dina : oh , yes . well , you are a real life saver . i thought i was losing my mind . ravi : oh , i 'm -- i 'm the same way . dina : really ? ravi : if i lose visual contact with my phone for more than a few minutes , i get anxious , too . one time i turned my whole office upside down before realizing it was in my jacket pocket . dina : [ chuckles ] oh , for heaven sakes . you really know how to make a lady feel good about herself . ravi : i 'm glad i could help . dina : i must admit i was very distracted last night . have you heard from jack ? ravi : uh , i 'm afraid i have n't . is everything okay ? dina : no , no , everything is not okay . i ca n't get over how rude he was , i mean , just leaving me alone at the venue without so much as a word . ravi : well , i 'm sure he had a good reason . dina : well , it sure was distracting . ravi : he knew you were in good hands . dina : oh , yes , i know i was . and thank you to you and ashley for taking such good care of me . ravi : we were happy to see you home . dina : yes , well , please tell that lovely lady what a remarkable young friend she has in you . and when you see my son , you tell him to come and see me , wo n't you ? ravi : i will . dina : good , because i want to know what 's going on with my son . jack : ready ? nikki : yeah . nicholas called several times . i want to let him know that i 'm okay . jack : i 'm sure victor left you a few messages , as well . nikki : well , i 'm not replying to those . what we need to say to each other we have to say in person . shall we go ? jack : yeah . come on . victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : dad , hi . i was beginning to wonder if you were gon na come in today . victor : [ sighs ] i just came in to deal with a few things and , um , to tell you something . abby : okay . what did you want to tell me ? victor : i 'm so proud of how you helped put this whole benefit together last night . you 're the only one of my children who was willing to help , and i will not forget that . abby : dad , um ... i do n't know what 's going on between you and nick , but , well , maybe if we had asked him to help , maybe , um -- victor : it would n't have made a difference . your brother does n't mean anything to me anymore . abby : what ? w - what does that mean ? victor : he is no longer my son . abby : why ? victor : i 'd rather not discuss that right now . abby : okay , but , dad , i think we need to talk about it , because clearly there 's something going on between you and nikki , too . and victoria seems clued in , but she wo n't tell me anything . victor : yeah . let 's not talk about it , sweetheart . abby : dad , listen , i know that i ca n't force you to talk , but ... can you at least try to understand what it 's like for me ? i feel like nick and victoria , they 're in this one family , the real newmans , and then i 'm over here in the other category . victor : whatever happened between me and the rest of the family , it has nothing to do with you and me . i can rely on you . i trust you . that means more to me than i can tell you right now . tessa : hey , i - i did n't mean to put you on the spot before . mariah : no , you -- you did n't . i just do n't know what i 'm gon na do . and i 'm not used to having a close friend to talk to about this stuff . tessa : well , i get that . i - i just want to be there for you like you 've been with me . so if you want to talk through the devon stuff more , that 's awesome . and if you want me to shut my big , old mouth and disappear , then that 's cool , too . mariah : no , no , i do n't . i want you to stay . i - i knew what i was getting into when devon and i started dating . he 'd been divorced from hilary for all of two seconds . i do n't know . i just ... i thought we had a good thing . oh , my god . this is so embarrassing . tessa : oh , my god , no . mariah : this is so embarrassing ! never mind . please never mind . tessa : hey , hey , hey , hey . it 's me . mariah : i just wanted to matter to him as much as he matters to me . tessa : that 's not embarrassing . you have to tell devon this . mariah : i do n't want to come off as -- as insecure or pathetic , which is absolutely not who i am . or maybe it is ! maybe it is who i am . maybe that 's who i am now . tessa : hey , hey , no . no , you are smart and funny , and you hide behind those walls of yours , but you have a huge heart . no one should make you feel like you 're their second choice , because you are incredible . completely incredible . mariah : you mean that ?

i thought so , too . thanks . jack : i know you can handle victor on your own , but if you need reinforcements , i can stick around . nikki : no , that would just make things worse . jack : i 'm worried only about you . for the first time in a very long time , i see you at peace . i do n't want victor blowing that all to hell , pulling you back when you 're on the road to recovery . nikki : it 's not gon na happen . i promise . jack : okay . nikki : well , i guess you better go . thanks again for everything . jack : you know , i have n't asked . how are you gon na handle things ?

mariah : i feel like hilary comes first with you and i 'm miss congeniality . devon : well , i do n't know why you feel like that . um , i 've been over hilary . mariah : i know you say that . and i want to believe it . i do . but i see the way that you look at her . i see the way that you talk about her . fourth of july , last night . and truthfully , all of the time , devon . i feel like there 's unfinished business between the two of you . devon : i do n't think i would call it that . mariah : then what would you call it ? devon : hilary and i share a lot of history , right ? i think we 're always gon na have a connection because of that . but , you know , we ca n't just erase each other from our lives . with that being said , hilary is in my past . i divorced that woman because i was tired of being lied to and manipulated , and that literally is night and day from the kind of person that you are . mariah : so that 's why you 're with me ? because i 'm the anti - hilary ? devon : i mean , you know what i 'm -- you know what i 'm trying to say , right ? mariah : look , it was easy for us to start dating . we were already friends . and i think deep down , you liked the idea that it would give hilary an especially big cow if you started dating me of all people . devon : where is this all coming from ? mariah : i hate saying this . i hate even thinking it . but i need an honest answer from you . how do you actually feel about me ? ashley : of course i will get back to you later . thanks so much . hey . ravi : hey . ashley : what are you doing here ? ravi : oh , i knew you had a meeting here . i thought i might catch you . ashley : it ca n't wait till i get back to the office ? ravi : uh , yeah , this -- this is more personal than professional . ashley : oh ? ravi : ashley , this is about your mother . dina : ashley 's lovely friend ravi just returned my glasses . is n't that wonderful ? graham : how nice of him . uh , where were they ? dina : in his car . [ chuckles ] graham : that happens to the best of us . dina : yes , i 'm sure it does . i 'm so sorry i put you through such a wild goose chase . graham : no , no sorry necessary . i 'm just glad we averted a crisis there . dina : well , i was so thrown by needing a ride home from ashley and ravi . [ knock on door ] dina : i 'll get it . jack : hello , mother . dina : well , it 's about time . what do you have to say for yourself ? victor : home at last , huh ? nikki : good morning . victor : it is n't . nikki : if you 're expecting me to apologize ... victor : for walking out on the accolades they were giving you ? nikki : i got a great deal of praise . victor : you certainly did , deservedly so . nikki : i really did n't know if i could do it . victor : so you proved a point . nikki : i did my best . victor : well , you played magnificently . nikki : we raised a great deal of money . victor : yeah . because of your standing in the community and because it was for a very good cause . nikki : well , victor , you planned the evening , and it was just beautiful , very elegant . victor : thank you . the dress looked great on you . nikki : probably because you had it designed for me . victor : well , it looked very good . nikki : thanks . victor : but you left the celebration without a word to me . nikki : i just had to get out of there , victor , after everything that happened . victor : did you have to stay out all night ? nikki : i needed some space to think , get some perspective . victor : hmm . did you get some perspective ? nikki : yes , i did . victor : well , i see things more clearly now , as well . victor : did you see the picture of our family in the news ? nikki : i did . victor : looked like a pretty happy group , did n't it ? nikki : well , if i did n't know it was a charade , i would think so , but seeing as it is a charade , it looked pretty sad . victor : yeah , it became sad because of what our son did . nikki : please do n't bad - mouth nicholas . let 's stop that . victor : you were upset about it . nikki : yes , but i would never threaten him with cutting him out of my life . victor : he tried to ruin the concert . our own son . nikki : he was trying to protect me . i do n't know why you ca n't understand that . victor : i would have handled things differently had you been honest with me about your m.s . flare - up . nikki : victor , i do n't want to rehash this , and i 'm not gon na let you turn this around on me , especially when my sins pale in comparison to yours . victor : i thought after the concert , we had come to kind of an understanding , that we would start to rebuild our life together . nikki : oh , victor . victor : how do you feel physically , by the way ? nikki : much better . victor : glad to hear that . nikki : yes , i plan on getting a lot of rest and taking a break for a while from the piano . victor : maybe you can ask jack abbott to introduce you to a new hobby , you know , one that does n't strain your system as much . nikki : yes , obviously that 's your way of telling me you knew that i left with jack . victor : and how the hell do you think i felt about that ? nikki : i really did n't think about it , victor . i needed a friend , and i did n't want to have an argument over the phone . victor : well , do n't worry about it anymore , okay ? i 'm not gon na argue with you about the likes of jack abbott . in fact , i do n't care anymore . devon : mariah , my feelings for you , they 're very real , okay ? let me ask you something . do you have any idea what you 've done for my life by being with me ? mariah : no , not really . devon : let me tell you , you helped me find happiness , okay ? when i was at my lowest point , you lifted me up , and you put a smile on my face , and you made me laugh . you told me your honest opinion about everything whether i wanted to hear it or not because i think you really cared about what was best for me , and you had my back . you do n't tear me down . you literally build me up every single day , so to think that you feel less than or second to anybody is -- it 's the last thing i ever wanted to make you feel . mariah : wow . that was some speech . devon : it 's far from a speech . it 's just how i feel . i really do want you to be the one standing by my side . will you be there ? mariah : yeah , i will . noah : so how are you feeling ? tessa : oh , like i 'm never gon na eat again . that was one gigantic breakfast . noah : that 's , um , that 's not what i mean . tessa : no ? [ both laugh ] noah : how are you feeling about , you know , you and me ? tessa : you know , i 'm -- i 'm just taking it day by day . noah : yeah ? tessa : yeah . noah : and today ? tessa : i 'm happy . noah : i 'm happy , too . tessa : [ chuckles ] noah : i 'd really like to see where this goes . ashley : okay , ravi , it 's really sweet of you to return my mother 's reading glasses personally , but i do n't understand why it 's so important that you had to do it right away . ravi : no , it was n't about the glasses . it was about the way she was acting . she was stressed out , she was agitated , asking a lot of questions about jack . ashley : well , after last night , i think we all have questions for jack . ravi : no , i understand , but she seemed really worked up over what happened . ashley : i hope she did n't go off on you . ravi : no , no , she was -- she was perfectly charming with me . ashley : okay , you said that she referred to jack as graham and that she seemed really confused last night ? ravi : yeah , that was my impression . ashley : so what are you suggesting , exactly ? do you think there 's something serious going on with my mother ? dina : i expect some answers , jack ! graham : you should n't have run off on your mother like that , jack . you promised me you 'd take good care of her . jack : i came here to apologize , and i do n't appreciate you talking as though i left my mother alone on the street . she was at a private party at newman tower with plenty of people that she knew , among them her daughter , who got her back here safely . dina : that 's not the point ! we made plans ! and you should have stuck to them ! jack : i 'd like a moment alone with my mother , if you do n't mind . dina : you know , you invited me to this event , and then you just dumped me right there and take off for god knows where . jack : i 'm sorry . dina : you should be . how dare you treat me like this . ashley : ravi , please do n't hold back . what do you think 's going on with my mother ? tell me . ravi : [ sighs ] i 've only witnessed a couple small incidents , but have you or anyone else in your family ever noticed anything that would lead you to believe she was having issues ? ashley : yes . my sister traci said something after that family dinner we had . she thought mother was acting different . but , to me , i mean , in business , she seems like she 's still on top of her game and she 's still the same strong and feisty woman that she always was . ravi : okay . okay , then , just chalk it up as nothing . you know , normal every- day aging . ashley : well , she is getting older , right ? so maybe things are just getting to her like , you know , they did n't get to her before . ravi : yeah , i agree . totally . and i did n't mean to overstep . i would just feel remiss if i did n't mention it . ashley : mnh - mnh . i 'm glad that you told me . i 'm gon na keep my eyes open and see if i see anything out of the ordinary . thank you . jack : things were a little tense between the newmans and nikki last night . dina : nikki ? jack : she asked me to take her out of the party . dina : why in the world would she do that ? jack : i ca n't get into the details . it 's private . she 's going through a lot right now . dina : oh , i see . so that 's why you were watching her so closely . jack : when she asked for my help , i could n't say no . believe me , if it was n't important , i would n't have left with her . dina : so you helped her by sneaking her out of the party her husband threw for her in her honor . victor 's going to be furious . jack : i can deal with that . dina : oh , sure . jack : wo n't be the first time i ticked him off . i promise it wo n't be the last . dina : hmm . jack : i do n't want to see nikki get hurt . dina : oh . i see . i do n't know what you 're thinking , jack . what is it ? jack : that a friend of mine needed help . dina : a married friend . jack : for now . dina : oh , ho , ho . you 're playing with fire , jack . jack : i know what i 'm doing , mother . dina : no , you do n't know what you 're doing ! you 're about ready to jump into the flames ! oh , and by that expression , i can see that 's exactly what you want ! jack : you know what ? maybe you 're right . dina : mm - hmm . jack : maybe i have been playing it a little too safe . after all , you never let a little fact like a man being married get in the way of your being happy . scott : keeping it warm for him ? abby : i 'm just checking over this report . you ? scott : i just wanted to run some numbers by him , but , uh , it can wait . abby : scott , um ... what did my father want to discuss with you ? scott : uh , it was strange . but it seemed like he wanted my reassurance that i supported his decision . abby : decision ? scott : cutting nick out of his life and all that goes with it . abby : oh , i 'm surprised he told you about that . scott : yeah , me , too . abby : i - i do n't know why he feels compelled to do this . i mean , if it 's about disinheriting nick , what does it really matter ? nick , victoria , and i got millions from that lawsuit years ago . scott : that 's right . you , uh , you sued victor . abby : we thought he was mishandling our trust funds , but , you know , now we have enough money to live on forever , so what can he really take away from nick ? scott : you know , something tells me it 's better that neither one of us really knows what victor 's up to . victor : i have tried to apologize for my involvement with chloe . i think i have atoned for my mistakes , at least attempted to . i 've told you over and over again how much i love you . nikki : i know that you love me , victor . i love you , too . i always will . but i just do n't look at you the same as i did . i ... i ca n't seem to get past what you 've done . victor : you 've made that abundantly clear . i know it has been difficult for you to pretend that you and i are still a couple . so i 've decided to make it easier for you . i will no longer hide the fact that you and i are not together anymore . you 're the love of my life . but if that is no longer of interest to you , then i bid you farewell . [ door closes ] nikki : [ sobs ] [ next_on ] victor : i 'm very grateful that you solved a problem that your father created . nick : i did that to protect you and this family . nikki : if i closed my eyes , i 'd swear it was your father ! hilary : `` air as much of that material as you see fit . `` that was a direct quote from victor . | tessa advises mariah to be honest with devon about her doubts as to him still being in love with hilary . despite her fear of losing devon , mariah decided to take tessa 's advice . devon makes it clear to mariah that hilary is a part of his past and asks mariah for one more chance to make their relationship work . when noah tells tessa that he wants to speed up the relationship a little bit , because he wants to spend more time with her , she is happy . | <s>[INST] jack : good morning . nikki : well , good morning to you . jack : so i hope you slept well . i hope the guest room was comfortable . nikki : oh , it was so cozy . i was asleep before my head hit the pillow . jack : still feeling any pain ? nikki : believe it or not , it has pretty much dissipated . i have n't felt this good in ages . jack : wow . that 's tremendous news . nikki : yeah . my hands are still a little bit stiff , but that will start to fade . i am just so happy that the concert and all the stress that went with it is over . thanks again for getting me out of there . i could n't have stood another second at that party after what happened with victor and nicholas . jack : well , the rest of the world did n't realize anything was amiss . they think the newmans knocked it out of the park last night . all the press on the benefit is fantastic , and this picture is everywhere . nikki : oh . if only that were real , huh ? it 's all just a big lie , a lie i perpetuated . but the truth ca n't stay hidden forever . ashley : well , hello , victor . hi , there . victor : well . nice to see you . ashley : you , too . victor : care to join me for breakfast ? ashley : oh , i ca n't . i have a meeting with a business associate . but once again , congratulations on last night . it was really a terrific event . victor : a lot of that is due to our daughter . ashley : oh , please . she would n't mind hearing that a couple hundred more times . victor : well , i will tell her how much i appreciate her loyalty . ashley : unlike other members of your family that are n't quite as loyal ? i saw nick and nikki . they left early last night . victor : hmm . anyway , please have a seat . the concert was a success . ashley : uh - oh . there you go again . do n't do that . victor : do n't do what ? ashley : you 're shutting down . i know you . before you tell me it 's none of my business , you remember what affects you affects abby , and therefore it does affect me . plus i do care . victor : i 'm glad you do . ashley : so what 's going on with your family ? why did nikki leave you here last night ? tessa : good morning . mariah : hey . morning . tessa : thanks again for letting me stay over and lending me something to wear since i 'm going to be avoiding the main house for a while . mariah : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's the least i can do considering i blubbered all over you all night . i - i ca n't believe that i did that , crying about devon . kind of mortified , actually . tessa : hey , do n't be . i 'm glad i could be there for you . now , the question is , will you tell devon everything you told me , or are you gon na keep pretending everything 's fine ? scott : where 's victor ? abby : he 's not here yet . but when he does arrive , you better be prepared for anything . scott : why ? what 'd i miss ? abby : well , he could still be ticked off about what happened with nick at the party last night , or he could only want to go over our projects , which is what i just delivered . scott : you know , i do n't know what went down , either , but it seems that your family can be pretty shakespearean . how is it that you and your dad can act like it 's business as usual today ? i mean , do n't you think he 'd want to discuss what hap -- abby : i 'm sorry . do n't you get it ? it 's not up to me . and this is n't your family , so back off . scott : if victor needs me , he knows where to find me . abby : scott , wait . [ sighs ] i am sorry . you did n't deserve that . scott : [ sighs ] neither did you . i could have been more sensitive . i can be pretty , uh , direct sometimes . abby : sometimes ? scott : listen , if this was my family , i 'd want to hash it out . i - i would n't want to let it fester . abby : yeah , i would love to , believe . i - i would . but that 's just not how my family works . when i asked my dad and victoria what happened last night , they refused to explain . scott : you feel like you 're on the outside . abby : and i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na say i 'm making this all about me . scott : no , no , no , no . abby : oh , you accused me of doing that before . scott : i was n't trying to criticize you , okay ? it was an observation , and i can see that this is not easy for you . abby : oh . scott : we may not see eye to eye on everything . but i could tell that you -- you killed yourself making that event perfect for victor and nikki . unlike your brother , who went out of his way to find trouble . so i hope that when you do talk to victor that you can toot your own horn a little , make sure it 's clear that he should n't take you for granted . graham : i 'm sorry jack did n't spend as much time with you last night as you were led to expect . dina : where in the world are my reading glasses ? i know i - i had them here last night . they were right inside my purse . graham : is it possible you left them at the concert pavilion or the restaurant ? dina : well , i suppose so . graham : think about when and where you may have taken them out of your purse . dina : uh , well , the last time i checked , it was at the concert briefly . graham : keep looking here . i 'll go check the venue . perhaps they just fell under your seat . dina : uh , you would do that for me ? graham : of course . dina : oh . graham : i do n't want you to worry . dina : oh , thank you . i love the way you take such good care of me . graham : i try . i try . dina : you certainly do . and i really wish you had been at the event last night , especially since jack proved to be such a disappointing escort . graham : i promise to never disappoint you . dina : oh , i know you never will . mm - hmm . nikki : what great service . jack : well , give it a try . tell me what you think . nikki : thank you very much . mmm . it 's good . jack : okay , it 's ... not good . nikki : it is too good ! what is the matter with you ? it 's delicious . jack : i do n't know what i did wrong . nikki : i have decided that everything up here at the cabin is better . the quiet , the trees , the lake , the breakfast . [ laughs ] the ranch has been so oppressive lately . up here it 's just nice and quiet and relaxing . jack : i feel the same way . i actually did n't realize how much i needed to get away . nikki : yeah , you 've been dealing with a lot yourself . things at work and dina being back in town . jack : no , no , no , no . i do n't want you worrying about me . i will always land on my feet , just like you . nikki : uh , i was n't quite too sure - footed last night . jack : well , you did n't let it show . nikki : you know , i thought the concert itself would be my only challenge last night . boy , was i wrong . i assumed it would be easy to play the perfect , happy family . jack : well , this time the family did n't all line up just right . nikki : this charade really took nicholas to his breaking point . and then victor ... i have a lot to face when i get home . jack : yeah , speaking of that , uh , as much as i 'd like to linger here , after breakfast we should talk about getting back to town . nikki : back to reality . jack : you ready to face what 's waiting for you ? nikki : no . ashley : a fist fight ? victor : it was one punch . that 's all . ashley : what could possibly make you want to get physically violent with your own child ? victor : my son nicholas was angry with me because i would n't listen to him . he wanted me to stop nikki from performing last night . ashley : well , that does n't make any sense . why would he want that ? victor : it does n't make any sense to you because you do n't know that nikki 's m.s . had flared up just before the concert . ashley : oh . no . victor : but i did n't know about that . she kept it from me . otherwise i would never have encouraged her to perform . ashley : of course you would n't have . but why did she keep that from you ? victor : i guess to prove a point . ashley : you 'd think that after all the years you 've been together , there 'd be nothing left to prove . victor : one would think that . and i have a feeling that your brother jack whispered sweet nothings into her ear , tried to convince her that he cares more about her wellbeing than i do . ashley : nikki 's friendship does mean a lot to jack . now that i understand what was going on , i can see why he made a point of getting her out of here last night . although i 'm pretty sure you were n't too thrilled about that . victor : so your brother left with my wife . boy , that is not how i imagined the evening would end . ashley : oh , my business associate is here . i 'm sorry you 're going through all this with your family . but i know that you and nikki are gon na get through it because you always do . it was good seeing you . victor : same to you . ashley : bye . victor : bye . ashley : hi . how are you ? dina : ravi ! what a surprise to see you here . ravi : i 'm surprised you can see me at all . dina : uh , what do you mean , dear ? ravi : i believe these are yours . dina : oh , thank heavens ! yes , yes ! where in the world did you find them ? ravi : uh , backseat of my car . they must have fallen out of your purse last night . dina : oh , yes . well , you are a real life saver . i thought i was losing my mind . ravi : oh , i 'm -- i 'm the same way . dina : really ? ravi : if i lose visual contact with my phone for more than a few minutes , i get anxious , too . one time i turned my whole office upside down before realizing it was in my jacket pocket . dina : [ chuckles ] oh , for heaven sakes . you really know how to make a lady feel good about herself . ravi : i 'm glad i could help . dina : i must admit i was very distracted last night . have you heard from jack ? ravi : uh , i 'm afraid i have n't . is everything okay ? dina : no , no , everything is not okay . i ca n't get over how rude he was , i mean , just leaving me alone at the venue without so much as a word . ravi : well , i 'm sure he had a good reason . dina : well , it sure was distracting . ravi : he knew you were in good hands . dina : oh , yes , i know i was . and thank you to you and ashley for taking such good care of me . ravi : we were happy to see you home . dina : yes , well , please tell that lovely lady what a remarkable young friend she has in you . and when you see my son , you tell him to come and see me , wo n't you ? ravi : i will . dina : good , because i want to know what 's going on with my son . jack : ready ? nikki : yeah . nicholas called several times . i want to let him know that i 'm okay . jack : i 'm sure victor left you a few messages , as well . nikki : well , i 'm not replying to those . what we need to say to each other we have to say in person . shall we go ? jack : yeah . come on . victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : dad , hi . i was beginning to wonder if you were gon na come in today . victor : [ sighs ] i just came in to deal with a few things and , um , to tell you something . abby : okay . what did you want to tell me ? victor : i 'm so proud of how you helped put this whole benefit together last night . you 're the only one of my children who was willing to help , and i will not forget that . abby : dad , um ... i do n't know what 's going on between you and nick , but , well , maybe if we had asked him to help , maybe , um -- victor : it would n't have made a difference . your brother does n't mean anything to me anymore . abby : what ? w - what does that mean ? victor : he is no longer my son . abby : why ? victor : i 'd rather not discuss that right now . abby : okay , but , dad , i think we need to talk about it , because clearly there 's something going on between you and nikki , too . and victoria seems clued in , but she wo n't tell me anything . victor : yeah . let 's not talk about it , sweetheart . abby : dad , listen , i know that i ca n't force you to talk , but ... can you at least try to understand what it 's like for me ? i feel like nick and victoria , they 're in this one family , the real newmans , and then i 'm over here in the other category . victor : whatever happened between me and the rest of the family , it has nothing to do with you and me . i can rely on you . i trust you . that means more to me than i can tell you right now . tessa : hey , i - i did n't mean to put you on the spot before . mariah : no , you -- you did n't . i just do n't know what i 'm gon na do . and i 'm not used to having a close friend to talk to about this stuff . tessa : well , i get that . i - i just want to be there for you like you 've been with me . so if you want to talk through the devon stuff more , that 's awesome . and if you want me to shut my big , old mouth and disappear , then that 's cool , too . mariah : no , no , i do n't . i want you to stay . i - i knew what i was getting into when devon and i started dating . he 'd been divorced from hilary for all of two seconds . i do n't know . i just ... i thought we had a good thing . oh , my god . this is so embarrassing . tessa : oh , my god , no . mariah : this is so embarrassing ! never mind . please never mind . tessa : hey , hey , hey , hey . it 's me . mariah : i just wanted to matter to him as much as he matters to me . tessa : that 's not embarrassing . you have to tell devon this . mariah : i do n't want to come off as -- as insecure or pathetic , which is absolutely not who i am . or maybe it is ! maybe it is who i am . maybe that 's who i am now . tessa : hey , hey , no . no , you are smart and funny , and you hide behind those walls of yours , but you have a huge heart . no one should make you feel like you 're their second choice , because you are incredible . completely incredible . mariah : you mean that ? tessa : yeah . yeah , i do . [ knock on door ] mariah : uh , who is it ? noah : devon ! devon : and noah ! noah : hey . devon : hello ! tessa : hi . mariah : hey ! devon : hi . mariah : i did n't expect to , um , see you two this morning . noah : that 's why they call it a surprise . devon : that 's right . and one that comes bearing coffee . mariah : oh , great . devon : here you go . mariah : hi . devon : how you doing ? mariah : good to see you . devon : you , too . and hey , tessa . tessa : ooh . devon : i 've already been getting phone calls about your performance . tessa : uh , good or bad ? or do i not want to know ? devon : no , you definitely want to know , because people ca n't wait to hear your first single . tessa : wait . really ? devon : yes . really . i want to get you in the studio as soon as possible . tessa : well , uh , i will get back to practicing right after i finish this coffee and maybe scrounge up a doughnut or something . noah : ooh , ooh , idea . how about we get breakfast at the club ? i 'm talking eggs , oj . tessa : yeah , that sounds delicious . uh , do you want to come , too ? and devon ? mariah : um , you guys go . go ahead . it 's -- it 's fine . tessa : okay , well , i 'll catch up with you later . mariah : yeah . noah : bye , guys . devon : see you . enjoy . noah : yeah , of course . devon : see you . hey , you . mariah : hi . devon : how you doing ? i missed you last night a lot . i , uh , i know you have to work today , but i was hoping we can get dinner later if you want to . mariah : uh , yeah , maybe . devon : um , between you not wanting to hang out with me after the party last night and how you 're acting right now , i 'm kind of picking up a vibe . mariah : um , what vibe ? devon : i do n't know . it seems just like something 's going on between us . if something 's bothering you , you know you can tell me anything . victor : i just want to tell the two of you that i 'm expecting some great things from you as we approach the second half of the year . abby : i ca n't wait to get started . victor : darling , would you mind ? i 'd like a word alone with him . abby : um , okay , yeah . sure . victor : scott , i want to thank you for finding that venue for last night 's concert . scott : sure . victor : it was a hell of a success . and then i 'm sure you would like to talk about the unfortunate incident last night . i 'm sure you heard about it . scott : i do n't know all the details , but i - i do know nick was out of line . victor : that 's putting it mildly . scott : look , the evening was supposed to be about nikki and what you were doing for her , not nick . victor : yeah . effective immediately , my son nicholas will no longer enjoy the privilege of being a newman . scott : if that 's what you think you have to do , then , uh , who am i to judge ? victor : increasingly , i feel that people are against me . scott : i 'm not , and , uh , neither is abby . victor : yeah . i 'm counting on that , scott . nikki : i will have bonnie launder and return your clothes to you as soon as possible . jack : keep them . they look better on you , anyway . nikki : you think ? i thought so , too . thanks . jack : i know you can handle victor on your own , but if you need reinforcements , i can stick around . nikki : no , that would just make things worse . jack : i 'm worried only about you . for the first time in a very long time , i see you at peace . i do n't want victor blowing that all to hell , pulling you back when you 're on the road to recovery . nikki : it 's not gon na happen . i promise . jack : okay . nikki : well , i guess you better go . thanks again for everything . jack : you know , i have n't asked . how are you gon na handle things ? victor 's gon na have a lot of questions about where you 've been , what you 're thinking . nikki : i know . and i 'll be ready for him . i 'm not gon na forget a damn thing . noah : hey , listen , um , thank you for being so chill with me cutting out last night . tessa : yeah . noah : did you have fun with mariah ? tessa : yeah . we had some excellent girl talk . noah : good . tessa : so , you . noah : hmm ? tessa : taking me out last night and this morning ? noah : look , i - i know that i was the one that suggested that we take things slow , but , um , i just keep finding myself wanting to spend more time with you . tessa : so , slow . noah : hmm . tessa : but not too slow . noah : something like that . tessa : yeah ? mariah : i feel like hilary comes first with you and i 'm miss congeniality . devon : well , i do n't know why you feel like that . um , i 've been over hilary . mariah : i know you say that . and i want to believe it . i do . but i see the way that you look at her . i see the way that you talk about her . fourth of july , last night . and truthfully , all of the time , devon . i feel like there 's unfinished business between the two of you . devon : i do n't think i would call it that . mariah : then what would you call it ? devon : hilary and i share a lot of history , right ? i think we 're always gon na have a connection because of that . but , you know , we ca n't just erase each other from our lives . with that being said , hilary is in my past . i divorced that woman because i was tired of being lied to and manipulated , and that literally is night and day from the kind of person that you are . mariah : so that 's why you 're with me ? because i 'm the anti - hilary ? devon : i mean , you know what i 'm -- you know what i 'm trying to say , right ? mariah : look , it was easy for us to start dating . we were already friends . and i think deep down , you liked the idea that it would give hilary an especially big cow if you started dating me of all people . devon : where is this all coming from ? mariah : i hate saying this . i hate even thinking it . but i need an honest answer from you . how do you actually feel about me ? ashley : of course i will get back to you later . thanks so much . hey . ravi : hey . ashley : what are you doing here ? ravi : oh , i knew you had a meeting here . i thought i might catch you . ashley : it ca n't wait till i get back to the office ? ravi : uh , yeah , this -- this is more personal than professional . ashley : oh ? ravi : ashley , this is about your mother . dina : ashley 's lovely friend ravi just returned my glasses . is n't that wonderful ? graham : how nice of him . uh , where were they ? dina : in his car . [ chuckles ] graham : that happens to the best of us . dina : yes , i 'm sure it does . i 'm so sorry i put you through such a wild goose chase . graham : no , no sorry necessary . i 'm just glad we averted a crisis there . dina : well , i was so thrown by needing a ride home from ashley and ravi . [ knock on door ] dina : i 'll get it . jack : hello , mother . dina : well , it 's about time . what do you have to say for yourself ? victor : home at last , huh ? nikki : good morning . victor : it is n't . nikki : if you 're expecting me to apologize ... victor : for walking out on the accolades they were giving you ? nikki : i got a great deal of praise . victor : you certainly did , deservedly so . nikki : i really did n't know if i could do it . victor : so you proved a point . nikki : i did my best . victor : well , you played magnificently . nikki : we raised a great deal of money . victor : yeah . because of your standing in the community and because it was for a very good cause . nikki : well , victor , you planned the evening , and it was just beautiful , very elegant . victor : thank you . the dress looked great on you . nikki : probably because you had it designed for me . victor : well , it looked very good . nikki : thanks . victor : but you left the celebration without a word to me . nikki : i just had to get out of there , victor , after everything that happened . victor : did you have to stay out all night ? nikki : i needed some space to think , get some perspective . victor : hmm . did you get some perspective ? nikki : yes , i did . victor : well , i see things more clearly now , as well . victor : did you see the picture of our family in the news ? nikki : i did . victor : looked like a pretty happy group , did n't it ? nikki : well , if i did n't know it was a charade , i would think so , but seeing as it is a charade , it looked pretty sad . victor : yeah , it became sad because of what our son did . nikki : please do n't bad - mouth nicholas . let 's stop that . victor : you were upset about it . nikki : yes , but i would never threaten him with cutting him out of my life . victor : he tried to ruin the concert . our own son . nikki : he was trying to protect me . i do n't know why you ca n't understand that . victor : i would have handled things differently had you been honest with me about your m.s . flare - up . nikki : victor , i do n't want to rehash this , and i 'm not gon na let you turn this around on me , especially when my sins pale in comparison to yours . victor : i thought after the concert , we had come to kind of an understanding , that we would start to rebuild our life together . nikki : oh , victor . victor : how do you feel physically , by the way ? nikki : much better . victor : glad to hear that . nikki : yes , i plan on getting a lot of rest and taking a break for a while from the piano . victor : maybe you can ask jack abbott to introduce you to a new hobby , you know , one that does n't strain your system as much . nikki : yes , obviously that 's your way of telling me you knew that i left with jack . victor : and how the hell do you think i felt about that ? nikki : i really did n't think about it , victor . i needed a friend , and i did n't want to have an argument over the phone . victor : well , do n't worry about it anymore , okay ? i 'm not gon na argue with you about the likes of jack abbott . in fact , i do n't care anymore . devon : mariah , my feelings for you , they 're very real , okay ? let me ask you something . do you have any idea what you 've done for my life by being with me ? mariah : no , not really . devon : let me tell you , you helped me find happiness , okay ? when i was at my lowest point , you lifted me up , and you put a smile on my face , and you made me laugh . you told me your honest opinion about everything whether i wanted to hear it or not because i think you really cared about what was best for me , and you had my back . you do n't tear me down . you literally build me up every single day , so to think that you feel less than or second to anybody is -- it 's the last thing i ever wanted to make you feel . mariah : wow . that was some speech . devon : it 's far from a speech . it 's just how i feel . i really do want you to be the one standing by my side . will you be there ? mariah : yeah , i will . noah : so how are you feeling ? tessa : oh , like i 'm never gon na eat again . that was one gigantic breakfast . noah : that 's , um , that 's not what i mean . tessa : no ? [ both laugh ] noah : how are you feeling about , you know , you and me ? tessa : you know , i 'm -- i 'm just taking it day by day . noah : yeah ? tessa : yeah . noah : and today ? tessa : i 'm happy . noah : i 'm happy , too . tessa : [ chuckles ] noah : i 'd really like to see where this goes . ashley : okay , ravi , it 's really sweet of you to return my mother 's reading glasses personally , but i do n't understand why it 's so important that you had to do it right away . ravi : no , it was n't about the glasses . it was about the way she was acting . she was stressed out , she was agitated , asking a lot of questions about jack . ashley : well , after last night , i think we all have questions for jack . ravi : no , i understand , but she seemed really worked up over what happened . ashley : i hope she did n't go off on you . ravi : no , no , she was -- she was perfectly charming with me . ashley : okay , you said that she referred to jack as graham and that she seemed really confused last night ? ravi : yeah , that was my impression . ashley : so what are you suggesting , exactly ? do you think there 's something serious going on with my mother ? dina : i expect some answers , jack ! graham : you should n't have run off on your mother like that , jack . you promised me you 'd take good care of her . jack : i came here to apologize , and i do n't appreciate you talking as though i left my mother alone on the street . she was at a private party at newman tower with plenty of people that she knew , among them her daughter , who got her back here safely . dina : that 's not the point ! we made plans ! and you should have stuck to them ! jack : i 'd like a moment alone with my mother , if you do n't mind . dina : you know , you invited me to this event , and then you just dumped me right there and take off for god knows where . jack : i 'm sorry . dina : you should be . how dare you treat me like this . ashley : ravi , please do n't hold back . what do you think 's going on with my mother ? tell me . ravi : [ sighs ] i 've only witnessed a couple small incidents , but have you or anyone else in your family ever noticed anything that would lead you to believe she was having issues ? ashley : yes . my sister traci said something after that family dinner we had . she thought mother was acting different . but , to me , i mean , in business , she seems like she 's still on top of her game and she 's still the same strong and feisty woman that she always was . ravi : okay . okay , then , just chalk it up as nothing . you know , normal every- day aging . ashley : well , she is getting older , right ? so maybe things are just getting to her like , you know , they did n't get to her before . ravi : yeah , i agree . totally . and i did n't mean to overstep . i would just feel remiss if i did n't mention it . ashley : mnh - mnh . i 'm glad that you told me . i 'm gon na keep my eyes open and see if i see anything out of the ordinary . thank you . jack : things were a little tense between the newmans and nikki last night . dina : nikki ? jack : she asked me to take her out of the party . dina : why in the world would she do that ? jack : i ca n't get into the details . it 's private . she 's going through a lot right now . dina : oh , i see . so that 's why you were watching her so closely . jack : when she asked for my help , i could n't say no . believe me , if it was n't important , i would n't have left with her . dina : so you helped her by sneaking her out of the party her husband threw for her in her honor . victor 's going to be furious . jack : i can deal with that . dina : oh , sure . jack : wo n't be the first time i ticked him off . i promise it wo n't be the last . dina : hmm . jack : i do n't want to see nikki get hurt . dina : oh . i see . i do n't know what you 're thinking , jack . what is it ? jack : that a friend of mine needed help . dina : a married friend . jack : for now . dina : oh , ho , ho . you 're playing with fire , jack . jack : i know what i 'm doing , mother . dina : no , you do n't know what you 're doing ! you 're about ready to jump into the flames ! oh , and by that expression , i can see that 's exactly what you want ! jack : you know what ? maybe you 're right . dina : mm - hmm . jack : maybe i have been playing it a little too safe . after all , you never let a little fact like a man being married get in the way of your being happy . scott : keeping it warm for him ? abby : i 'm just checking over this report . you ? scott : i just wanted to run some numbers by him , but , uh , it can wait . abby : scott , um ... what did my father want to discuss with you ? scott : uh , it was strange . but it seemed like he wanted my reassurance that i supported his decision . abby : decision ? scott : cutting nick out of his life and all that goes with it . abby : oh , i 'm surprised he told you about that . scott : yeah , me , too . abby : i - i do n't know why he feels compelled to do this . i mean , if it 's about disinheriting nick , what does it really matter ? nick , victoria , and i got millions from that lawsuit years ago . scott : that 's right . you , uh , you sued victor . abby : we thought he was mishandling our trust funds , but , you know , now we have enough money to live on forever , so what can he really take away from nick ? scott : you know , something tells me it 's better that neither one of us really knows what victor 's up to . victor : i have tried to apologize for my involvement with chloe . i think i have atoned for my mistakes , at least attempted to . i 've told you over and over again how much i love you . nikki : i know that you love me , victor . i love you , too . i always will . but i just do n't look at you the same as i did . i ... i ca n't seem to get past what you 've done . victor : you 've made that abundantly clear . i know it has been difficult for you to pretend that you and i are still a couple . so i 've decided to make it easier for you . i will no longer hide the fact that you and i are not together anymore . you 're the love of my life . but if that is no longer of interest to you , then i bid you farewell . [ door closes ] nikki : [ sobs ] [ next_on ] victor : i 'm very grateful that you solved a problem that your father created . nick : i did that to protect you and this family . nikki : if i closed my eyes , i 'd swear it was your father ! hilary : `` air as much of that material as you see fit . `` that was a direct quote from victor .Summarize.[/INST]tessa advises mariah to be honest with devon about her doubts as to him still being in love with hilary . despite her fear of losing devon , mariah decided to take tessa 's advice . devon makes it clear to mariah that hilary is a part of his past and asks mariah for one more chance to make their relationship work . when noah tells tessa that he wants to speed up the relationship a little bit , because he wants to spend more time with her , she is happy .</s> | 17,614 |

( loud crash ) and that would be nico . yeah , i 've put him to work around the house . yeah , you win , he has n't stolen anything -- yet . yeah , i know , i know . i owe you $ 20 when you get home . no , honey , do n't worry . everything is great here . really . i 'm serious . i want you to just concentrate on getting yourself settled there , and let me handle things here , okay ? no , i 'm sure . look , i 'm going to call you later , okay ? i love you , too . okay . bye . ( loud crash ) nico ! marina : hey . hey , i 'm working here . shayne : so you 're too busy for this ? marina : no , i 'm never too busy for that . you want to help me with this ? shayne : um , no . i don't . you know what they say about all work and no play ? marina : yeah , it gets the tuition bills paid . come on , this one 's fun . it 's a care package for michelle . danny and ed ordered a bunch of my grandpa 's specialties so that she could have home - cooked meals while she 's out of town . shayne : well , i 'm all for home cooking , but there is something to be said for getting out of town . marina : spoken like a man with a plan . so spill . shayne : no , i ca n't . you 're working , so i 'm just going to let you just , you know , do your thing ... marina : shayne ! gus : what 's the matter ? is something in your food ? a fly or something ? alan : what ? gus : well , you have n't touched a bite of your chili . something wrong ? alan : it 's not the food . gus : hmm . what is it , lizzie ? alan : she 'd be just fine if certain members of the family would stop treating her as if she were some mental case . but what do i know ? i 'm just her grandfather . gus : well , you know , you keep after that family , because you 've got your hands full . but , you know , they 'll come around . brenda : alan spaulding ? alan : yes ? may i help you ? brenda : you sure can , you son of a ... ed : well , that was the shortest celebration i 've ever been part of . mel : duty calls . ed : yeah . we 'll have to have a real `` mel passed the bar `` party soon . mel : i loved the look on danny 's face when he walked in on all of us . ed : you know why that is ? because he 's totally lost without my daughter . i mean , that 's one of the things i love about him . but what we 're going to do is , when michelle gets back , we 'll have a real boudreau - bauer blast , okay ? and since your family has been so terrific about entertaining us , it 's my turn . i mean , we have a lot to celebrate . come on . mel : ed , please , do n't push it , okay ? i just got out of today 's celebration just in time . harley : i should have known this was a waste of my time . you 're too bitter to patch things up with gus . eden : well , i 'd rather be bitter than delusional . harley : what did you just say ? eden : you know what ? forget it . just go , all right ? i 'm the only one that really knows what my brother is like . harley : i know exactly who gus is . eden : oh , really ? do you ? harley : that 's it ? that 's all you 're going to say ? fine . i 'm out of here . eden : you know , he 's going to leave you . harley : you know , your brother wants you back in his life . after everything you have done to him , i do n't know why , but he wants you back , and this is how you repay him ? how about ... how about showing him a little respect ? how about a little loyalty ? eden : the only person that gus is loyal to is himself . but if you want to find out on your own , just go ahead . and you know what ? i am not bitter . it 's not gus ' fault he is the way he is . maybe it 's just ... harley : what ? eden : maybe it 's just in his spaulding blood . danny : hey . ( music playing from headphones ) ni ... hey . nico : hey . danny : do you mind ? it 's too loud . i can hear it all over the house . nico : oh , so mr . santos is concerned about my eardrums . i 'm touched . danny : no , i 'm concerned about this house . this is my house , and as long as you 're living here and working here , you 'll show some respect . nico : yes , your highness . or do you prefer `` godfather `` ? danny : you see ? see ? that 's not what i call showing respect , nico . nico : look , respect goes both ways . danny : yeah , it does . and it 'll go your direction as soon as you earn it . but until then , you work in my house , and you do what i tell you to do . now , do you have to make so much damn noise when you 're working ? nico : hey , building a bookcase is not a quiet job , and that 's what you ordered me to do , anyways . danny : you finished ? nico : you mean talking ? or the bookcase ? danny : both . nico : yeah . i 'm just looking for a wall that 'll hold it . danny : i told you , i want to put it up in robbie 's room . did n't you listen ? nico : have you seen the kid 's room lately ? it looks worse than this mess -- and this is pretty bad , man . danny : all right , all right . forget it . we 'll deal with the bookcase later . nico : so what should we do now ? danny : we 're not going to do anything . you 're going to take five , and then get started on the yard work . nico : all right . danny : nico . look , letting you live here above the garage and work here was my wife 's idea , not mine . apparently , she sees something in you worth saving , and i guess my cousin ray does , too . nico : yeah , so ? danny : so do n't blow it . because when michelle comes back from hunley college , she expects to see the new and improved nico , and i do n't want her to be disappointed . we clear ? nico : oh , yeah , we 're clear . as soon as you score points with the missus , you 're going to throw me out to the trash , right ? okay , that 's cool . mrs. santos will feel all generous , you 'll be her hero , and me , i 'm going to be old news , right ? what a shocker . marina : jamfest ? shayne : i know . marina : wait , how did you get tickets to this ? it 's been sold out for months . shayne : well , let 's just say there are certain benefits to being able to throw a 90-mile- an - hour fast ball . marina : oh , it 's not your fast ball that got you called to the bigs . it 's your curve ball and your splitter . shayne : okay , yes , coach . so , are we going , or what ? marina : i do n't know . i 've got classes starting at springfield u . in the fall . you know , i 'm going to have to pick up my books and get my student i d , make nice with my teachers ... shayne : marina . marina : yes , we 're going ! alan : that constitutes an assault , and i want to press charges . brenda : what are you , some kind of cop or something ? gus : actually , yes , i am . brenda : that figures . men like alan spaulding always have the law on their side . alan : look , miss , i do n't know who you are ... brenda : mrs. mrs. jenson , brenda jenson . name ring a bell , mr . spaulding ? alan : no , it doesn't . brenda : how about lori jenson ? my daughter . alan : look , mrs . jenson , i do n't know what happened to your daughter . brenda : i 'll tell you what 's happened . my daughter started working for you a couple of years ago , her first big job after years of struggling , and then she met brad green . gus : who 's brad green ? alan : a senior executive who just recently returned from the paris offices . brenda : that man . he took advantage of her , and when she tried to break it off , your pal ... alan : my employee . brenda : ... did n't like the word `` no . `` alan : look , mrs . jenson , when things like this happen , there 's always two sides to every story . brenda : well , right now you only have my side , because she left to end it with this creep , and she never came home . gus : how long has your daughter been gone ? brenda : i just got back from the precinct . they asked me the same questions . they gave me the whole speech about i have to wait 48 hours . i ca n't wait . i know something 's happened to lori , and i am telling you , if somebody does n't break the spaulding code of silence and tell me what 's going on with my daughter , i am going straight to the media . you 'd like that , would n't you , mr . spaulding ? i 'm sure your stock prices would take a nice little hit once the public finds out what 's going on behind your office doors . alan : well , obviously that woman is a loose cannon . her daughter 's probably on some tropical island as we speak , healing her broken heart with a little surf , sun , and margaritas . gus : alan , this is me you 're dealing with . tell me what happened to that girl . harley : i see what you 're trying to do , you know ? you 're trying to shake me up . but , see , you forget one little thing : i 'm the resident expert on spaulding men . i 've been married to two of them . eden : oh , and that 's gone really well for you , has n't it ? harley : i will admit that when i first found out that gus was alan 's son , i had my concerns . i was afraid he would get pulled into that spaulding dysfunction , but gus has stayed gus . and actually , it 's alan who 's done the changing . eden : if you say so . harley : alan is the one who asked to volunteer with gus on the garden of eden murders . alan is the one who had that little light bulb go off in his head because he realized thatf * gus is happy . he 's happy with his life , he 's happy with his job . he is happy with me . so if the only card that you 've got left to play is your spaulding card , then i guess we really are done here . eden : you know what ? you were not on that roof . harley : no , but i know gus will do what he has to do to catch the bad guy , and if that means pushing limits , then so be it . eden : oh , is that what he told you ? harley : eden , he was trying to catch a killer . do n't take it personally . he 's not a bad brother ; he 's just a good detective . eden : you know what ? i do n't get you . you were n't on that roof years ago when we were kids , but yet you have no problem believing that i 'm a murderer . yet when i tell you what gus did on the roof a few months ago , you ca n't even wrap your mind around it . k ) y you ca n't even try . harley : because i know gus , and i know you . eden : gus was trying to get his collar , harley , and that is the kind of man he has turned into . and if he can turn on me , he can turn on you , too . harley : oh , my god . this conversation is over , okay ? you want gus out of your life , fine . that 's your loss . eden : i am just trying to get a clean start . harley : you know what ? i think you 've maxed out your clean starts . eden : you know what ? lp i do n't want us to be enemies , and when gus does turn on you , do n't worry , i wo n't say that i told you so . danny : well , how long is that going to take ? three months . that 's ridiculous . i want you to call the distributor and see what you can do . mrs. pilkington : ( clears throat ) you wanted to see me , mr . santos ? danny : all right , i 'll call you back . yeah . yeah . mrs. pilkington . mrs. pilkington : call me `` mrs . p. `` danny : okay , mrs . p. , i really just wanted to check in with you , because sometimes robbie is n't ... well , it takes him a while to feel comfortable with new people . how 's he doing ? mrs. pilkington : he 's fine . i believe he 's sleeping right now . danny : you believe ? you mean you do n't know ? mrs. pilkington : well , the boy refused to take a nap , and it was clear from his wild behavior that he needed one , so i left him in his room and shut the door . danny : so basically you 're telling me that you locked my son in his room all by himself . mrs. pilkington : yes . he 'll no doubt cry himself to sleep . it 's a tried and true method , mr . santos . children need to learn from a tender age that the world does not revolve around them . danny : yeah . but my world revolves around robbie , and you 're in my world , mrs . p . mrs. pilkington : indeed . danny : look , i do n't want my son crying himself to sleep . it 's as simple as that . mrs. pilkington : wait . wait . no crying . you see ? i told you robbie 's fine . sleeping like a baby . danny : okay . please do n't do that to him again . while he 's napping , can you get started on this mess ? mrs. pilkington : ( laughs ) mr . santos , i 'm robbie 's nanny , not your maid . and while your son is sleeping , there are a few things we should go over . danny : like ? mrs. pilkington : robbie 's lack of discipline . he made a mess of his lunch , spilled food all over himself . danny : he 's two and a half . mrs. pilkington : that 's no excuse . respect is a two - way street , and the sooner robbie learns that , the sooner ... mr. santos , are you listening ? if i am to stay on here , changes must be made . danny : yeah . i agree , mrs . p. you 're fired . you know the way out . mrs. pilkington : certainly . marina : hello . did i come at a bad time ? ( robbie crying ) mel : i know i 'm the luckiest person in the world in so many ways , but i want a baby . i do n't know , i guess that makes me ... ed : it makes you a loving , caring person . that 's what it makes you . mel : it 's just after that brief moment of joy and relief when rick told me i passed the bar , all i kept thinking was , `` well , great , now i have everything , except what i want . `` please do n't tell my parents or rick . ed : oh , sweetie , of course i 'm not going to tell anyone . mel : i 'm so selfish , huh ? ed : you 're being way too hard on yourself . mel : if you think i am , you should see rick . he 's beating himself up over this . ed : i know he is . mel : it 's so hard , because we each keep acting like we 're all right for the other one 's sake , but we 're about to explode . ed : i remember what that 's like . but listen , what you have to remember is , i mean , you and rick have a lot of options here . you know , you 've got a lot of options , and you are going to have a baby together , one way or another . mel : i just hate that rick feels like he failed me . ed : sweetie , he just wants you to be happy . he desperately wants you to be happy , because you 've given him so much happiness . mel : have i ? ed : now , you know you do n't have to ask that , right ? mel : it just feels like we 're always catching our breath , you know ? ever since we 've been together , it 's just been crisis after crisis . ed : ( laughs ) welcome to the family . mel : oh , please . the bauer family is probably the most normal family in this town . ed : you know , i 'm going to have to catch up with the person who started that rumor . you know what it is ? i think it 's because my mother and maureen provided cover for the rest of us . mel : oh , stop it . you 've been nothing but a calming influence for all of us since you 've been back . ed : is that a fact ? well , i 'm going to have to do something about that . i 'm going to have to cause a little trouble for myself for the rest of the family , so you guys stop worrying about your own troubles . mel : ( laughs ) bartender : so what 's all that ? alexandra : well , this is the newest big thing from spaulding enterprises . here . here you go . have a whiff . tell me what you think . bartender : that 's nice . alexandra : nice ? nice ? i was hoping for a bit more than that , but so far this is all my development team has come up with . another four - letter choice word i could use for it , but ... and do n't even get me started on the models . bartender : how about i refresh that for you ? alexandra : yes , thank you very much . you know , this campaign has to be very exciting . i mean , i have to make one really big splash . eden : well , then why do n't you go jump in a lake ? bartender : can i get you a drink , miss ? eden : yeah , i 'll have whatever she 's not having . what , alexandra ? alexandra : nothing , eden . it 's just such a waste , that 's all . eden : what ? alexandra : you . you 've got flawless skin , perfect bone structure , a certain kind of je ne sais quois . you 'd have quite a future as a spaulding model if we just did n't have this pesky little morals clause . alan : gus , between you and me ... gus : wait . just tell me up front , is this a police matter ? because we 're at lunch ... alan : no , no it 's not . no , not at all . this lori jenson is very ambitious . gus : all right , so what do you mean by ambitious ? alan : well , when she got to spaulding , she wanted to climb the corporate ladder very quickly . as a matter of fact , there was n't anything she would n't do . gus : i see . does that mean sleeping her way to the top ? alan : you get the picture . gus : i see . so she was making it her business to go ahead and hook up with one of your senior executives ? alan : yes . i do n't condone that kind of behavior , but it happens . brad told me that he was going to call off the affair but when he tried , she went hysterical . gus : okay . what if that 's not true ? and if it is true , why is she the one that 's missing ? something 's missing . alan : i think she took off to get a reaction out of him , to see if he would chase after her . gus : that 's what i 'm saying . what if he was the one that was chasing after her ? what if he did n't want to let her go ? alan : brad 's not that kind of man . i 've known him for years . he 's a family man . now , he 's made some mistakes . i just hope this mother of hers does n't go public with this , because i think it could really hurt spaulding stock , and it could destroy this man 's life . gus : can i help you somehow ? alan : well , i do n't see how , unless you could prove that no crime was committed . i just wish that girl would come back and all this stuff would just blow over . gus : yeah , but what if that does n't happen ? alan : look , i do n't want you to get involved in this mess . gus : it 's too late , big al . it 's too late , because i am already involved . all right ? gus : babe ! harley : hey . gus : where have you been ? come on , join us . i thought you were going to be at a movie or something like that . what happened ? harley : something came up , actually . gus : oh . `` something came up '' -- that 's pi- talk for she 's working on a really big case . alan : well , i hope you have n't bitten off more than you can chew , harley . harley : what do you mean ? alan : well , i just know that you two have been very busy lately . i just hope it does n't cut into your family time , because , you know , family is everything to me . harley : we know . alan : speaking of which , i have an appointment regarding elizabeth . harley : how is lizzie doing ? alan : well , if i had anything to say about it , she 's doing just fine . gus : the man always gets what he wants . harley : do you like that about him ? gus : i 've got to say i respect his determination . harley : well , determination is one thing . mowing over people so that you can keep your eye on the prize , that 's something else altogether . gus : what happened ? harley : what ? gus : well , owing over people , keeping your eye on the prize . are you all right ? have you got a case that 's getting on your nerves or something ? harley : it 's nothing , it 's nothing . gus : you got too much on your plate ? harley : no , actually , my plate is practically empty , unfortunately . gus : well , great , great , because i 've got a brand - new case for you . eden : and who are you to question my morals ? alexandra : oh , touché , my dear . how can i question something you obviously do n't have ? eden : well , you should n't talk , because you have more dirty laundry in your family , enough to open up your own laundromat . alexandra : ( laughs ) eden : and was n't that you that 's on eden 's client list ? oh , yeah , gavin says hello . alexandra : oh , well . note to self : develop a foundation thick enough to cover all the chips on eden 's shoulder . bartender : ( laughs ) eden : and what do you know about selling this stuff ? alexandra : it 's not about selling stuff , dear . it 's about selling an image . eden : good luck selling that image . alexandra : well , i suppose you have tons of suggestions . eden : actually , i 'm full of ideas . alexandra : well , you 're full of something , dear . eden : you know what ? you should bottle me . alexandra : ( laughs ) excuse me ? eden : i mean , forget all this sugar and spice and everything nice . no one wants to smell like a gingerbread house . alexandra : uh - huh . good . go on . eden : okay . all right , deep down inside , every woman really just wants to be a bad girl . i mean , from housewives all the to big career women , there 's a little bit of hell in every angel , and men love it . alexandra : uh - huh . we 're not through here . marina : but little bear was very hungry , so he went into the kitchen , and he found some ... ( sniffs ) ... very old fried rice that daddy bear should have thrown out days ago . i really hope this was his lunch and not yours . but what little bear did n't know was that this -- uh - huh , this -- was magical fried rice , and the magical fried rice said , `` no , little bear , please do n't eat me ! `` but little bear said , `` i 'm very hungry , magical fried rice . `` danny : i did n't know fried rice could talk . marina : oh , it 's magical fried rice . danny : oh , i see . magic fried rice . so i leave you guys along for a couple of minutes and the next thing i know , you 're dancing the leftover chinese food around the living room to entertain my son . marina : oh , well , um , i mean , you know , got him to stop crying , which apparently more than ... danny : no , marina , i meant it in a good way . marina : oh , sorry . danny : do n't apologize . this is the calmest i 've seen him all day , believe me . you 're good with him . marina : please . robbie 's great . he 's a sweetie . danny : great . you 're hired . marina : okay . wait , what ? danny : robbie needs a nanny . you 're it . marina : oh , no , no , no . i mean , i just came here to make a delivery . i already have a job at company , and , you know , i 'm starting classes at springfield u . in the fall . danny : we 'll work something out . marina : i mean , i 'm very flattered . i just , you know , do n't think ... danny : did i mention that i 'll pay you double whatever buzz pays you ? when can you start ? marina : i think i already did . alan : doctor , i 'm sorry that i 'm late . christopher : oh , it 's no problem , mr . spaulding . if this is about my research project at the university , i 've already submitted my monthly report to the spaulding foundation . alan : well , actually , i 'm not wearing my benefactor 's hat today . sit down . i want to discuss something with you of more personal nature . christopher : lizzie . alan : oh . i see one of them has already gotten to you . you see , i want to keep my family from reacting prematurely where lizzie is concerned . christopher : actually , it was felicia boudreau who first approached me about your granddaughter 's case . we 've consulted before , and she wanted to know my thoughts on lizzie 's condition . alan : well , lizzie does n't have a `` condition . `` she 's just been acting out lately , that 's all . christopher : if that 's all it is , why are you here ? alan : doctor , whatever is going on with elizabeth , i want my own person evaluating her , and since you have already been briefed on the case ... christopher : i 'm sorry , mr . spaulding . i 'm afraid my answer is no . alexandra : have a seat , eden . eden : i do n't think so . alexandra : i 'm not asking . eden : what , are you ordering me ? alexandra : you 're quick . eden : well , i do n't take orders . alexandra : oh , just not from spauldings ? eden : not from anyone . alexandra : oh , is that part of the bad girl image , the perks ? eden : yeah , it is . alexandra : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . would you get ms . august another drink , please ? and what is it you 're having , dear ? oh , another `` whatever i 'm not having . `` please . eden : all right . i 'm only staying for the free drink . alexandra : of course , dear . and you can tell me all about bad girls . eden : okay . so there 's a good girl . she comes from the right side of town . she does n't drink . she does n't smoke . she does n't even curse . and she ends up with , you know , the perfect little house with the white fence and the little minivan , 2.5 kids . alexandra : oh , all the joys of suburbia . eden : but then one day , good girl 's husband starts working late at work with the hot little redhead in human resources . alexandra : therefore a born bad girl . eden : mm - hmm . so she wises up . but the alimony checks do n't keep her warm at night , so good girl decides that playing by the rules just is n't fun anymore . alexandra : so the bad girl was born . eden : and she makes her own rules , and she raises a little hell along the way . and all the men in her life are never bored , because they never know what she 's up to next . alexandra : oh , dear , oh , dear , oh , dear . so what does she do ? just goes from one man to the next ? eden : if she wants to . but , you know , she can balance baby bottles and stilettos . as a matter of fact , she can even balance the baby bottles while she 's in the stilettos . alexandra : aha . eden : and she keeps her mystery , her soul , and her spirit . alexandra : really . now , i would have thought she 'd sold her soul to the devil . eden : oh , no . she 's too smart for that . alexandra : oh , yes . bad girl . eden : that 's me . alexandra : no , darling , that is a concept , one i want you to help me bring to life . harley : so , missing persons . does n't that fall under your jurisdiction , detective ? gus : well , you know , the police department can not deal with this because not enough time has passed by . but , i do n't know , i was thinking , this woman came in , she 's worried about her daughter , she does n't know where she is , and i thought putting a pi on the case would , you know , help quell this woman 's nerves , before the police even had to get involved . harley : i think that is so great . gus : what ? harley : well , you know , your hands are tied because of the force , and yet you still find a way to help this poor woman find her daughter . i think that 's great . gus : why would n't i want to help ? harley : because , you know , sometimes people only do things when there 's something in it for them , you know ? but you are the exception to that . you are , absolutely . gus : well , i would n't say that all necessarily . i just want to make sure this woman does n't think her daughter 's , you know , dead at the bottom of a lake or something . harley : all right , so tell me what you 've got . gus : okay . the mother 's name is brenda jenson . harley : brenda jenson . and the daughter 's name is lori , you said ? gus : daughter 's name is lori . right now , she thinks that her daughter lori was having an affair with this guy , but that she wanted to break it off . but also it 's possible the guy wanted to break it off . but lori could n't take it , and she apparently took off . harley : hm . yeah , that 's a possibility . but let me just question the guy first , see what his story is . you got a name ? gus : yeah . brad green . harley : mm - hmm . address ? gus : no , i do n't have the address , but that wo n't be hard to get , because he works for spaulding enterprises . harley : this guy works for alan ? gus : well , he was one of his top senior executives . harley : i see . gus : what 's the problem ? harley : this has nothing to do with you helping an overwrought woman . this has to do with you helping alan . danny : hey . where you going ? nico : no , i thought i was in the wrong house . this one 's all neat and clean , and there 's no screaming kid running around . danny : yeah , very funny . you done with the yard work ? nico : yeah . i mowed , i weeded . oh , yeah , and i also thought about trimming your hedges into those little sculptures i 've seen in pictures , but then i was like , hey , there 's always tomorrow for that one . so , am i done yet or what ? danny : yeah , you 're done -- for now . nico : so what did you do , get rid of the kid or something ? danny : robbie ? yeah . he 's had a puppet show and a bath , and now he 's napping . nico : good . i thought you were going to stick me with baby - sitting him when i came in . danny : never . that 's been taken care of . nico : so then , i 'll take a shower if that 's cool with you , boss . danny : yeah , that 's cool with me . hey , nico ? look , i 'm not going to be looking over your shoulder every five minutes . nico : well , that 's good to know . danny : what i 'm trying to say is , you were n't so far off base earlier with what you said about respect going both ways . i know we got off to a really bad start , but since it looks like we 're stuck with each other for a while , if you can keep the respect coming from your end , then i can throw a little back your way , too . nico : so what you 're saying is , you trust me . danny : about as far as i can throw you . nico : ( laughs ) i get you , boss . alan : well , doctor , i guess i had you wrong . i thought you were in the business of helping people , but obviously you would rather throw my granddaughter to the wolves . christopher : i 'm not throwing anyone to the wolves . alan : well , you have n't met my family . as a matter of fact , her mother would ship her off to an institution if she had anything to say about it . christopher : mr. spaulding , i share your concern for lizzie , especially after what dr . boudreau told me . alan : well , then why do you refuse to consult on her case ? christopher : because i do n't want to become your personal shrink - for - hire . i ca n't be called upon to examine lizzie and prescribe what you think is best for her just because you 're funding my research at the university . alan : doctor , i can assure ... christopher : mr. spaulding , let 's be honest . you want me involved because you think i 'll say what you want to hear . so , as much as i 'd like to help , i 'm afraid i 'll have to respectfully decline . alan : well , i can see that my reputation has preceded me , and i understand , doctor , why you might think the worst . but i can assure you something far greater is at stake here : my granddaughter 's future . and i love my granddaughter very much , and i want the best for her . and you , doctor , are the best . even her therapist says that . christopher : still ... alan : and i can assure you there will be no strings attached . christopher : and if i should recommend hospitalization ? alan : just take care of my granddaughter . that 's all i ask . christopher : one session , no promises . eden : uh - uh . no . i do n't know , i do n't think i could stand in a mall and try to spritz snobby shoppers . alexandra : oh , no , no . you would be involved at a much higher level . besides , it 's not just any perfume . it 's going to be bad girl perfume . as a matter of fact , we 'll use this to launch an entire bad girl cosmetics line . you know what ? if you 're really lucky , i will use you in the advertising campaign . eden : what ? with my rep in this town ? alexandra : with your reputation , absolutely . you 've been a murderer , you 've been involved with the mob , you 've been a madam ... eden : no . no . it was an escort service . alexandra : but you do n't hear what i 'm saying . you see , with your very bad girl reputation , that 'll only triple my sales . eden , this is a win - win situation . eden : and we can sell it with a disclaimer : `` this is not your grandmother 's perfume . `` and it has to be expensive . alexandra : yes , but cheaper than a marriage counselor . eden : oh , i like that . alexandra : that is called marketing , my darling . that 's sort of an old legitimate profession you 've probably only read about in fairy tales . now , i want to get started on this right away . hm ? eden : all right . i 'm in . alexandra : you 're in . you are in only if we have an exclusive deal . you may be a bad girl , dear , but you have to be my bad girl . do you understand ? eden : well , i 'm not cheap . alexandra : ( laughs ) i am aware of that . so , you have your lawyer call the spaulding legal counsel , and they will start working out the details . oh , eden , just think , this could be the beginning of a beautiful partnership . eden : or we could end up killing each other . ( glasses clink ) harley : see , i thought i had walked in on a genuine moment between father and son , but no , it was alan leaning on you to try to get you to find this girl before spaulding enterprises finds itself with yet another scandal . gus : no . nobody ... he was not leaning on me . i volunteered . i offered to help . this woman came in , all right , to the restaurant just now . she was hysterical . she was saying that her daughter ... something about her daughter , she was going to smear this guy 's name , a good man . she was going to drag the alan spaulding company all through the mud . i mean , i ca n't have that . i ca n't let that happen , stand by and let that happen . harley : a good man ? well , maybe ... what if this good man is not such a good man after all ? what if the mother is right , and this guy is a creep who tried to hurt her daughter ? what then ? do you want me to still go after him to try to find the truth ? gus : what kind of question is that ? of course . harley : well , i think it 's the question i have to ask if a spaulding 's involved . gus : i am a spaulding . look , what do you think ? you think i 'm going to ask you to get involved in some cover- up ? i mean , is that what you think of me ? is that what it 's come to ? harley : no . of course not . i 'm sorry . i spent my morning listening to somebody talk about how ruthless and selfish some people can be , and i think i just started to buy into it all . gus : who was talking to you like that ? harley : oh , nobody . it was stupid . and you know what ? forget it , because i 'm going to work this case . as long as we have a deal , i take this thing wherever it leads me . i do n't care what it does to alan 's friend or to alan 's company . gus : honey , you do whatever you have to do . do it the right way . do it your way . all right . hey , alan , it 's me . listen , you do n't have to worry about the girl or the woman or anything , okay ? i 've got the whole thing under control . next , on `` guiding light `` ... cassie : no , i think you 're wonderful , and i just want to be with you . marina : this time next week , you could be pitching in wrigley field ? lizzie : look , there 's something i have to tell you , and it 's something i have n't been able to tell anyone else . this has been `` guiding light . `` | eden warned harley if gus is willing to turn his back on his sister , he would turn on her too . harley tried to defend gus , but has doubts about his changing attitudes when it comes to the spaulding 's . alexandra hired eden to promote a new line of fragrance and cosmetics called ' bad girl ' . eden agreed to take the job , but reminded alexandra she does n't come cheap . | <s>[INST] danny : well , good , honey . i 'm glad you made it there safely . what ? yeah . no , i told you , everything 's great , everything 's fine here . yeah , of course robbie misses his mommy , but i told him that she 's off becoming the best physician 's assistant ever . he understood everything i had to say . what ? the nanny ? um , well , actually paige had a little family emergency , but it 's okay . your dad and your brother came by earlier to help out , and i found a replacement . she 's working out great . ( loud crash ) and that would be nico . yeah , i 've put him to work around the house . yeah , you win , he has n't stolen anything -- yet . yeah , i know , i know . i owe you $ 20 when you get home . no , honey , do n't worry . everything is great here . really . i 'm serious . i want you to just concentrate on getting yourself settled there , and let me handle things here , okay ? no , i 'm sure . look , i 'm going to call you later , okay ? i love you , too . okay . bye . ( loud crash ) nico ! marina : hey . hey , i 'm working here . shayne : so you 're too busy for this ? marina : no , i 'm never too busy for that . you want to help me with this ? shayne : um , no . i don't . you know what they say about all work and no play ? marina : yeah , it gets the tuition bills paid . come on , this one 's fun . it 's a care package for michelle . danny and ed ordered a bunch of my grandpa 's specialties so that she could have home - cooked meals while she 's out of town . shayne : well , i 'm all for home cooking , but there is something to be said for getting out of town . marina : spoken like a man with a plan . so spill . shayne : no , i ca n't . you 're working , so i 'm just going to let you just , you know , do your thing ... marina : shayne ! gus : what 's the matter ? is something in your food ? a fly or something ? alan : what ? gus : well , you have n't touched a bite of your chili . something wrong ? alan : it 's not the food . gus : hmm . what is it , lizzie ? alan : she 'd be just fine if certain members of the family would stop treating her as if she were some mental case . but what do i know ? i 'm just her grandfather . gus : well , you know , you keep after that family , because you 've got your hands full . but , you know , they 'll come around . brenda : alan spaulding ? alan : yes ? may i help you ? brenda : you sure can , you son of a ... ed : well , that was the shortest celebration i 've ever been part of . mel : duty calls . ed : yeah . we 'll have to have a real `` mel passed the bar `` party soon . mel : i loved the look on danny 's face when he walked in on all of us . ed : you know why that is ? because he 's totally lost without my daughter . i mean , that 's one of the things i love about him . but what we 're going to do is , when michelle gets back , we 'll have a real boudreau - bauer blast , okay ? and since your family has been so terrific about entertaining us , it 's my turn . i mean , we have a lot to celebrate . come on . mel : ed , please , do n't push it , okay ? i just got out of today 's celebration just in time . harley : i should have known this was a waste of my time . you 're too bitter to patch things up with gus . eden : well , i 'd rather be bitter than delusional . harley : what did you just say ? eden : you know what ? forget it . just go , all right ? i 'm the only one that really knows what my brother is like . harley : i know exactly who gus is . eden : oh , really ? do you ? harley : that 's it ? that 's all you 're going to say ? fine . i 'm out of here . eden : you know , he 's going to leave you . harley : you know , your brother wants you back in his life . after everything you have done to him , i do n't know why , but he wants you back , and this is how you repay him ? how about ... how about showing him a little respect ? how about a little loyalty ? eden : the only person that gus is loyal to is himself . but if you want to find out on your own , just go ahead . and you know what ? i am not bitter . it 's not gus ' fault he is the way he is . maybe it 's just ... harley : what ? eden : maybe it 's just in his spaulding blood . danny : hey . ( music playing from headphones ) ni ... hey . nico : hey . danny : do you mind ? it 's too loud . i can hear it all over the house . nico : oh , so mr . santos is concerned about my eardrums . i 'm touched . danny : no , i 'm concerned about this house . this is my house , and as long as you 're living here and working here , you 'll show some respect . nico : yes , your highness . or do you prefer `` godfather `` ? danny : you see ? see ? that 's not what i call showing respect , nico . nico : look , respect goes both ways . danny : yeah , it does . and it 'll go your direction as soon as you earn it . but until then , you work in my house , and you do what i tell you to do . now , do you have to make so much damn noise when you 're working ? nico : hey , building a bookcase is not a quiet job , and that 's what you ordered me to do , anyways . danny : you finished ? nico : you mean talking ? or the bookcase ? danny : both . nico : yeah . i 'm just looking for a wall that 'll hold it . danny : i told you , i want to put it up in robbie 's room . did n't you listen ? nico : have you seen the kid 's room lately ? it looks worse than this mess -- and this is pretty bad , man . danny : all right , all right . forget it . we 'll deal with the bookcase later . nico : so what should we do now ? danny : we 're not going to do anything . you 're going to take five , and then get started on the yard work . nico : all right . danny : nico . look , letting you live here above the garage and work here was my wife 's idea , not mine . apparently , she sees something in you worth saving , and i guess my cousin ray does , too . nico : yeah , so ? danny : so do n't blow it . because when michelle comes back from hunley college , she expects to see the new and improved nico , and i do n't want her to be disappointed . we clear ? nico : oh , yeah , we 're clear . as soon as you score points with the missus , you 're going to throw me out to the trash , right ? okay , that 's cool . mrs. santos will feel all generous , you 'll be her hero , and me , i 'm going to be old news , right ? what a shocker . marina : jamfest ? shayne : i know . marina : wait , how did you get tickets to this ? it 's been sold out for months . shayne : well , let 's just say there are certain benefits to being able to throw a 90-mile- an - hour fast ball . marina : oh , it 's not your fast ball that got you called to the bigs . it 's your curve ball and your splitter . shayne : okay , yes , coach . so , are we going , or what ? marina : i do n't know . i 've got classes starting at springfield u . in the fall . you know , i 'm going to have to pick up my books and get my student i d , make nice with my teachers ... shayne : marina . marina : yes , we 're going ! alan : that constitutes an assault , and i want to press charges . brenda : what are you , some kind of cop or something ? gus : actually , yes , i am . brenda : that figures . men like alan spaulding always have the law on their side . alan : look , miss , i do n't know who you are ... brenda : mrs. mrs. jenson , brenda jenson . name ring a bell , mr . spaulding ? alan : no , it doesn't . brenda : how about lori jenson ? my daughter . alan : look , mrs . jenson , i do n't know what happened to your daughter . brenda : i 'll tell you what 's happened . my daughter started working for you a couple of years ago , her first big job after years of struggling , and then she met brad green . gus : who 's brad green ? alan : a senior executive who just recently returned from the paris offices . brenda : that man . he took advantage of her , and when she tried to break it off , your pal ... alan : my employee . brenda : ... did n't like the word `` no . `` alan : look , mrs . jenson , when things like this happen , there 's always two sides to every story . brenda : well , right now you only have my side , because she left to end it with this creep , and she never came home . gus : how long has your daughter been gone ? brenda : i just got back from the precinct . they asked me the same questions . they gave me the whole speech about i have to wait 48 hours . i ca n't wait . i know something 's happened to lori , and i am telling you , if somebody does n't break the spaulding code of silence and tell me what 's going on with my daughter , i am going straight to the media . you 'd like that , would n't you , mr . spaulding ? i 'm sure your stock prices would take a nice little hit once the public finds out what 's going on behind your office doors . alan : well , obviously that woman is a loose cannon . her daughter 's probably on some tropical island as we speak , healing her broken heart with a little surf , sun , and margaritas . gus : alan , this is me you 're dealing with . tell me what happened to that girl . harley : i see what you 're trying to do , you know ? you 're trying to shake me up . but , see , you forget one little thing : i 'm the resident expert on spaulding men . i 've been married to two of them . eden : oh , and that 's gone really well for you , has n't it ? harley : i will admit that when i first found out that gus was alan 's son , i had my concerns . i was afraid he would get pulled into that spaulding dysfunction , but gus has stayed gus . and actually , it 's alan who 's done the changing . eden : if you say so . harley : alan is the one who asked to volunteer with gus on the garden of eden murders . alan is the one who had that little light bulb go off in his head because he realized thatf * gus is happy . he 's happy with his life , he 's happy with his job . he is happy with me . so if the only card that you 've got left to play is your spaulding card , then i guess we really are done here . eden : you know what ? you were not on that roof . harley : no , but i know gus will do what he has to do to catch the bad guy , and if that means pushing limits , then so be it . eden : oh , is that what he told you ? harley : eden , he was trying to catch a killer . do n't take it personally . he 's not a bad brother ; he 's just a good detective . eden : you know what ? i do n't get you . you were n't on that roof years ago when we were kids , but yet you have no problem believing that i 'm a murderer . yet when i tell you what gus did on the roof a few months ago , you ca n't even wrap your mind around it . k ) y you ca n't even try . harley : because i know gus , and i know you . eden : gus was trying to get his collar , harley , and that is the kind of man he has turned into . and if he can turn on me , he can turn on you , too . harley : oh , my god . this conversation is over , okay ? you want gus out of your life , fine . that 's your loss . eden : i am just trying to get a clean start . harley : you know what ? i think you 've maxed out your clean starts . eden : you know what ? lp i do n't want us to be enemies , and when gus does turn on you , do n't worry , i wo n't say that i told you so . danny : well , how long is that going to take ? three months . that 's ridiculous . i want you to call the distributor and see what you can do . mrs. pilkington : ( clears throat ) you wanted to see me , mr . santos ? danny : all right , i 'll call you back . yeah . yeah . mrs. pilkington . mrs. pilkington : call me `` mrs . p. `` danny : okay , mrs . p. , i really just wanted to check in with you , because sometimes robbie is n't ... well , it takes him a while to feel comfortable with new people . how 's he doing ? mrs. pilkington : he 's fine . i believe he 's sleeping right now . danny : you believe ? you mean you do n't know ? mrs. pilkington : well , the boy refused to take a nap , and it was clear from his wild behavior that he needed one , so i left him in his room and shut the door . danny : so basically you 're telling me that you locked my son in his room all by himself . mrs. pilkington : yes . he 'll no doubt cry himself to sleep . it 's a tried and true method , mr . santos . children need to learn from a tender age that the world does not revolve around them . danny : yeah . but my world revolves around robbie , and you 're in my world , mrs . p . mrs. pilkington : indeed . danny : look , i do n't want my son crying himself to sleep . it 's as simple as that . mrs. pilkington : wait . wait . no crying . you see ? i told you robbie 's fine . sleeping like a baby . danny : okay . please do n't do that to him again . while he 's napping , can you get started on this mess ? mrs. pilkington : ( laughs ) mr . santos , i 'm robbie 's nanny , not your maid . and while your son is sleeping , there are a few things we should go over . danny : like ? mrs. pilkington : robbie 's lack of discipline . he made a mess of his lunch , spilled food all over himself . danny : he 's two and a half . mrs. pilkington : that 's no excuse . respect is a two - way street , and the sooner robbie learns that , the sooner ... mr. santos , are you listening ? if i am to stay on here , changes must be made . danny : yeah . i agree , mrs . p. you 're fired . you know the way out . mrs. pilkington : certainly . marina : hello . did i come at a bad time ? ( robbie crying ) mel : i know i 'm the luckiest person in the world in so many ways , but i want a baby . i do n't know , i guess that makes me ... ed : it makes you a loving , caring person . that 's what it makes you . mel : it 's just after that brief moment of joy and relief when rick told me i passed the bar , all i kept thinking was , `` well , great , now i have everything , except what i want . `` please do n't tell my parents or rick . ed : oh , sweetie , of course i 'm not going to tell anyone . mel : i 'm so selfish , huh ? ed : you 're being way too hard on yourself . mel : if you think i am , you should see rick . he 's beating himself up over this . ed : i know he is . mel : it 's so hard , because we each keep acting like we 're all right for the other one 's sake , but we 're about to explode . ed : i remember what that 's like . but listen , what you have to remember is , i mean , you and rick have a lot of options here . you know , you 've got a lot of options , and you are going to have a baby together , one way or another . mel : i just hate that rick feels like he failed me . ed : sweetie , he just wants you to be happy . he desperately wants you to be happy , because you 've given him so much happiness . mel : have i ? ed : now , you know you do n't have to ask that , right ? mel : it just feels like we 're always catching our breath , you know ? ever since we 've been together , it 's just been crisis after crisis . ed : ( laughs ) welcome to the family . mel : oh , please . the bauer family is probably the most normal family in this town . ed : you know , i 'm going to have to catch up with the person who started that rumor . you know what it is ? i think it 's because my mother and maureen provided cover for the rest of us . mel : oh , stop it . you 've been nothing but a calming influence for all of us since you 've been back . ed : is that a fact ? well , i 'm going to have to do something about that . i 'm going to have to cause a little trouble for myself for the rest of the family , so you guys stop worrying about your own troubles . mel : ( laughs ) bartender : so what 's all that ? alexandra : well , this is the newest big thing from spaulding enterprises . here . here you go . have a whiff . tell me what you think . bartender : that 's nice . alexandra : nice ? nice ? i was hoping for a bit more than that , but so far this is all my development team has come up with . another four - letter choice word i could use for it , but ... and do n't even get me started on the models . bartender : how about i refresh that for you ? alexandra : yes , thank you very much . you know , this campaign has to be very exciting . i mean , i have to make one really big splash . eden : well , then why do n't you go jump in a lake ? bartender : can i get you a drink , miss ? eden : yeah , i 'll have whatever she 's not having . what , alexandra ? alexandra : nothing , eden . it 's just such a waste , that 's all . eden : what ? alexandra : you . you 've got flawless skin , perfect bone structure , a certain kind of je ne sais quois . you 'd have quite a future as a spaulding model if we just did n't have this pesky little morals clause . alan : gus , between you and me ... gus : wait . just tell me up front , is this a police matter ? because we 're at lunch ... alan : no , no it 's not . no , not at all . this lori jenson is very ambitious . gus : all right , so what do you mean by ambitious ? alan : well , when she got to spaulding , she wanted to climb the corporate ladder very quickly . as a matter of fact , there was n't anything she would n't do . gus : i see . does that mean sleeping her way to the top ? alan : you get the picture . gus : i see . so she was making it her business to go ahead and hook up with one of your senior executives ? alan : yes . i do n't condone that kind of behavior , but it happens . brad told me that he was going to call off the affair but when he tried , she went hysterical . gus : okay . what if that 's not true ? and if it is true , why is she the one that 's missing ? something 's missing . alan : i think she took off to get a reaction out of him , to see if he would chase after her . gus : that 's what i 'm saying . what if he was the one that was chasing after her ? what if he did n't want to let her go ? alan : brad 's not that kind of man . i 've known him for years . he 's a family man . now , he 's made some mistakes . i just hope this mother of hers does n't go public with this , because i think it could really hurt spaulding stock , and it could destroy this man 's life . gus : can i help you somehow ? alan : well , i do n't see how , unless you could prove that no crime was committed . i just wish that girl would come back and all this stuff would just blow over . gus : yeah , but what if that does n't happen ? alan : look , i do n't want you to get involved in this mess . gus : it 's too late , big al . it 's too late , because i am already involved . all right ? gus : babe ! harley : hey . gus : where have you been ? come on , join us . i thought you were going to be at a movie or something like that . what happened ? harley : something came up , actually . gus : oh . `` something came up '' -- that 's pi- talk for she 's working on a really big case . alan : well , i hope you have n't bitten off more than you can chew , harley . harley : what do you mean ? alan : well , i just know that you two have been very busy lately . i just hope it does n't cut into your family time , because , you know , family is everything to me . harley : we know . alan : speaking of which , i have an appointment regarding elizabeth . harley : how is lizzie doing ? alan : well , if i had anything to say about it , she 's doing just fine . gus : the man always gets what he wants . harley : do you like that about him ? gus : i 've got to say i respect his determination . harley : well , determination is one thing . mowing over people so that you can keep your eye on the prize , that 's something else altogether . gus : what happened ? harley : what ? gus : well , owing over people , keeping your eye on the prize . are you all right ? have you got a case that 's getting on your nerves or something ? harley : it 's nothing , it 's nothing . gus : you got too much on your plate ? harley : no , actually , my plate is practically empty , unfortunately . gus : well , great , great , because i 've got a brand - new case for you . eden : and who are you to question my morals ? alexandra : oh , touché , my dear . how can i question something you obviously do n't have ? eden : well , you should n't talk , because you have more dirty laundry in your family , enough to open up your own laundromat . alexandra : ( laughs ) eden : and was n't that you that 's on eden 's client list ? oh , yeah , gavin says hello . alexandra : oh , well . note to self : develop a foundation thick enough to cover all the chips on eden 's shoulder . bartender : ( laughs ) eden : and what do you know about selling this stuff ? alexandra : it 's not about selling stuff , dear . it 's about selling an image . eden : good luck selling that image . alexandra : well , i suppose you have tons of suggestions . eden : actually , i 'm full of ideas . alexandra : well , you 're full of something , dear . eden : you know what ? you should bottle me . alexandra : ( laughs ) excuse me ? eden : i mean , forget all this sugar and spice and everything nice . no one wants to smell like a gingerbread house . alexandra : uh - huh . good . go on . eden : okay . all right , deep down inside , every woman really just wants to be a bad girl . i mean , from housewives all the to big career women , there 's a little bit of hell in every angel , and men love it . alexandra : uh - huh . we 're not through here . marina : but little bear was very hungry , so he went into the kitchen , and he found some ... ( sniffs ) ... very old fried rice that daddy bear should have thrown out days ago . i really hope this was his lunch and not yours . but what little bear did n't know was that this -- uh - huh , this -- was magical fried rice , and the magical fried rice said , `` no , little bear , please do n't eat me ! `` but little bear said , `` i 'm very hungry , magical fried rice . `` danny : i did n't know fried rice could talk . marina : oh , it 's magical fried rice . danny : oh , i see . magic fried rice . so i leave you guys along for a couple of minutes and the next thing i know , you 're dancing the leftover chinese food around the living room to entertain my son . marina : oh , well , um , i mean , you know , got him to stop crying , which apparently more than ... danny : no , marina , i meant it in a good way . marina : oh , sorry . danny : do n't apologize . this is the calmest i 've seen him all day , believe me . you 're good with him . marina : please . robbie 's great . he 's a sweetie . danny : great . you 're hired . marina : okay . wait , what ? danny : robbie needs a nanny . you 're it . marina : oh , no , no , no . i mean , i just came here to make a delivery . i already have a job at company , and , you know , i 'm starting classes at springfield u . in the fall . danny : we 'll work something out . marina : i mean , i 'm very flattered . i just , you know , do n't think ... danny : did i mention that i 'll pay you double whatever buzz pays you ? when can you start ? marina : i think i already did . alan : doctor , i 'm sorry that i 'm late . christopher : oh , it 's no problem , mr . spaulding . if this is about my research project at the university , i 've already submitted my monthly report to the spaulding foundation . alan : well , actually , i 'm not wearing my benefactor 's hat today . sit down . i want to discuss something with you of more personal nature . christopher : lizzie . alan : oh . i see one of them has already gotten to you . you see , i want to keep my family from reacting prematurely where lizzie is concerned . christopher : actually , it was felicia boudreau who first approached me about your granddaughter 's case . we 've consulted before , and she wanted to know my thoughts on lizzie 's condition . alan : well , lizzie does n't have a `` condition . `` she 's just been acting out lately , that 's all . christopher : if that 's all it is , why are you here ? alan : doctor , whatever is going on with elizabeth , i want my own person evaluating her , and since you have already been briefed on the case ... christopher : i 'm sorry , mr . spaulding . i 'm afraid my answer is no . alexandra : have a seat , eden . eden : i do n't think so . alexandra : i 'm not asking . eden : what , are you ordering me ? alexandra : you 're quick . eden : well , i do n't take orders . alexandra : oh , just not from spauldings ? eden : not from anyone . alexandra : oh , is that part of the bad girl image , the perks ? eden : yeah , it is . alexandra : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . would you get ms . august another drink , please ? and what is it you 're having , dear ? oh , another `` whatever i 'm not having . `` please . eden : all right . i 'm only staying for the free drink . alexandra : of course , dear . and you can tell me all about bad girls . eden : okay . so there 's a good girl . she comes from the right side of town . she does n't drink . she does n't smoke . she does n't even curse . and she ends up with , you know , the perfect little house with the white fence and the little minivan , 2.5 kids . alexandra : oh , all the joys of suburbia . eden : but then one day , good girl 's husband starts working late at work with the hot little redhead in human resources . alexandra : therefore a born bad girl . eden : mm - hmm . so she wises up . but the alimony checks do n't keep her warm at night , so good girl decides that playing by the rules just is n't fun anymore . alexandra : so the bad girl was born . eden : and she makes her own rules , and she raises a little hell along the way . and all the men in her life are never bored , because they never know what she 's up to next . alexandra : oh , dear , oh , dear , oh , dear . so what does she do ? just goes from one man to the next ? eden : if she wants to . but , you know , she can balance baby bottles and stilettos . as a matter of fact , she can even balance the baby bottles while she 's in the stilettos . alexandra : aha . eden : and she keeps her mystery , her soul , and her spirit . alexandra : really . now , i would have thought she 'd sold her soul to the devil . eden : oh , no . she 's too smart for that . alexandra : oh , yes . bad girl . eden : that 's me . alexandra : no , darling , that is a concept , one i want you to help me bring to life . harley : so , missing persons . does n't that fall under your jurisdiction , detective ? gus : well , you know , the police department can not deal with this because not enough time has passed by . but , i do n't know , i was thinking , this woman came in , she 's worried about her daughter , she does n't know where she is , and i thought putting a pi on the case would , you know , help quell this woman 's nerves , before the police even had to get involved . harley : i think that is so great . gus : what ? harley : well , you know , your hands are tied because of the force , and yet you still find a way to help this poor woman find her daughter . i think that 's great . gus : why would n't i want to help ? harley : because , you know , sometimes people only do things when there 's something in it for them , you know ? but you are the exception to that . you are , absolutely . gus : well , i would n't say that all necessarily . i just want to make sure this woman does n't think her daughter 's , you know , dead at the bottom of a lake or something . harley : all right , so tell me what you 've got . gus : okay . the mother 's name is brenda jenson . harley : brenda jenson . and the daughter 's name is lori , you said ? gus : daughter 's name is lori . right now , she thinks that her daughter lori was having an affair with this guy , but that she wanted to break it off . but also it 's possible the guy wanted to break it off . but lori could n't take it , and she apparently took off . harley : hm . yeah , that 's a possibility . but let me just question the guy first , see what his story is . you got a name ? gus : yeah . brad green . harley : mm - hmm . address ? gus : no , i do n't have the address , but that wo n't be hard to get , because he works for spaulding enterprises . harley : this guy works for alan ? gus : well , he was one of his top senior executives . harley : i see . gus : what 's the problem ? harley : this has nothing to do with you helping an overwrought woman . this has to do with you helping alan . danny : hey . where you going ? nico : no , i thought i was in the wrong house . this one 's all neat and clean , and there 's no screaming kid running around . danny : yeah , very funny . you done with the yard work ? nico : yeah . i mowed , i weeded . oh , yeah , and i also thought about trimming your hedges into those little sculptures i 've seen in pictures , but then i was like , hey , there 's always tomorrow for that one . so , am i done yet or what ? danny : yeah , you 're done -- for now . nico : so what did you do , get rid of the kid or something ? danny : robbie ? yeah . he 's had a puppet show and a bath , and now he 's napping . nico : good . i thought you were going to stick me with baby - sitting him when i came in . danny : never . that 's been taken care of . nico : so then , i 'll take a shower if that 's cool with you , boss . danny : yeah , that 's cool with me . hey , nico ? look , i 'm not going to be looking over your shoulder every five minutes . nico : well , that 's good to know . danny : what i 'm trying to say is , you were n't so far off base earlier with what you said about respect going both ways . i know we got off to a really bad start , but since it looks like we 're stuck with each other for a while , if you can keep the respect coming from your end , then i can throw a little back your way , too . nico : so what you 're saying is , you trust me . danny : about as far as i can throw you . nico : ( laughs ) i get you , boss . alan : well , doctor , i guess i had you wrong . i thought you were in the business of helping people , but obviously you would rather throw my granddaughter to the wolves . christopher : i 'm not throwing anyone to the wolves . alan : well , you have n't met my family . as a matter of fact , her mother would ship her off to an institution if she had anything to say about it . christopher : mr. spaulding , i share your concern for lizzie , especially after what dr . boudreau told me . alan : well , then why do you refuse to consult on her case ? christopher : because i do n't want to become your personal shrink - for - hire . i ca n't be called upon to examine lizzie and prescribe what you think is best for her just because you 're funding my research at the university . alan : doctor , i can assure ... christopher : mr. spaulding , let 's be honest . you want me involved because you think i 'll say what you want to hear . so , as much as i 'd like to help , i 'm afraid i 'll have to respectfully decline . alan : well , i can see that my reputation has preceded me , and i understand , doctor , why you might think the worst . but i can assure you something far greater is at stake here : my granddaughter 's future . and i love my granddaughter very much , and i want the best for her . and you , doctor , are the best . even her therapist says that . christopher : still ... alan : and i can assure you there will be no strings attached . christopher : and if i should recommend hospitalization ? alan : just take care of my granddaughter . that 's all i ask . christopher : one session , no promises . eden : uh - uh . no . i do n't know , i do n't think i could stand in a mall and try to spritz snobby shoppers . alexandra : oh , no , no . you would be involved at a much higher level . besides , it 's not just any perfume . it 's going to be bad girl perfume . as a matter of fact , we 'll use this to launch an entire bad girl cosmetics line . you know what ? if you 're really lucky , i will use you in the advertising campaign . eden : what ? with my rep in this town ? alexandra : with your reputation , absolutely . you 've been a murderer , you 've been involved with the mob , you 've been a madam ... eden : no . no . it was an escort service . alexandra : but you do n't hear what i 'm saying . you see , with your very bad girl reputation , that 'll only triple my sales . eden , this is a win - win situation . eden : and we can sell it with a disclaimer : `` this is not your grandmother 's perfume . `` and it has to be expensive . alexandra : yes , but cheaper than a marriage counselor . eden : oh , i like that . alexandra : that is called marketing , my darling . that 's sort of an old legitimate profession you 've probably only read about in fairy tales . now , i want to get started on this right away . hm ? eden : all right . i 'm in . alexandra : you 're in . you are in only if we have an exclusive deal . you may be a bad girl , dear , but you have to be my bad girl . do you understand ? eden : well , i 'm not cheap . alexandra : ( laughs ) i am aware of that . so , you have your lawyer call the spaulding legal counsel , and they will start working out the details . oh , eden , just think , this could be the beginning of a beautiful partnership . eden : or we could end up killing each other . ( glasses clink ) harley : see , i thought i had walked in on a genuine moment between father and son , but no , it was alan leaning on you to try to get you to find this girl before spaulding enterprises finds itself with yet another scandal . gus : no . nobody ... he was not leaning on me . i volunteered . i offered to help . this woman came in , all right , to the restaurant just now . she was hysterical . she was saying that her daughter ... something about her daughter , she was going to smear this guy 's name , a good man . she was going to drag the alan spaulding company all through the mud . i mean , i ca n't have that . i ca n't let that happen , stand by and let that happen . harley : a good man ? well , maybe ... what if this good man is not such a good man after all ? what if the mother is right , and this guy is a creep who tried to hurt her daughter ? what then ? do you want me to still go after him to try to find the truth ? gus : what kind of question is that ? of course . harley : well , i think it 's the question i have to ask if a spaulding 's involved . gus : i am a spaulding . look , what do you think ? you think i 'm going to ask you to get involved in some cover- up ? i mean , is that what you think of me ? is that what it 's come to ? harley : no . of course not . i 'm sorry . i spent my morning listening to somebody talk about how ruthless and selfish some people can be , and i think i just started to buy into it all . gus : who was talking to you like that ? harley : oh , nobody . it was stupid . and you know what ? forget it , because i 'm going to work this case . as long as we have a deal , i take this thing wherever it leads me . i do n't care what it does to alan 's friend or to alan 's company . gus : honey , you do whatever you have to do . do it the right way . do it your way . all right . hey , alan , it 's me . listen , you do n't have to worry about the girl or the woman or anything , okay ? i 've got the whole thing under control . next , on `` guiding light `` ... cassie : no , i think you 're wonderful , and i just want to be with you . marina : this time next week , you could be pitching in wrigley field ? lizzie : look , there 's something i have to tell you , and it 's something i have n't been able to tell anyone else . this has been `` guiding light . ``Summarize.[/INST]eden warned harley if gus is willing to turn his back on his sister , he would turn on her too . harley tried to defend gus , but has doubts about his changing attitudes when it comes to the spaulding 's . alexandra hired eden to promote a new line of fragrance and cosmetics called ' bad girl ' . eden agreed to take the job , but reminded alexandra she does n't come cheap .</s> | 13,208 |

( laughs ) then what 's the problem ? and do n't tell me it 's jet lag . reva : you know me , i 'm just out of sorts lately . josh : oh . reva shayne lewis out of sorts . i 'd better run $ and hide . reva : you know , why is it that everyone wants to run away from me right now ? josh : i don't . in fact , i 'm looking forward to having more of you . reva : i 'm sorry i 've been so weird . ( laughs ) josh : i prefer to think of it as challenging . jonathan : got to tell you , uncle bill , i 'm a little surprised you 'd give me a job at lewis construction . bill : well , i 'm doing josh a favor . no need to put another marriage on the rocks . jonathan : so josh only gave me the job because of reva ? bill : and i 'm keeping you around because of olivia . josh : so how were your last few days in aspen ? reva : beautiful scenery , beautiful people . lonely . josh : yeah , i 'm sorry i was n't there . reva : no , it 's not that . josh : thank you . reva : you know what i mean . josh : no , actually , i do n't know what you mean , and that 's part of the problem . i just thought that you 'd be happy that jonathan now has a chance to stand on his own two feet . reva : i am . and i 'm even happier that you were able to get by the past and give him a chance . josh : well , he 's your son , reva . it means a lot to you to have him be a part of your life , part of our lives . and i know with jonathan it 's never going to be easy , but ... reva : yeah , well , like mother , like son . josh : i just figured if i could get him more connected to the family , you know ? reva : and once he 's connected , then i 'll go away again . maybe that 's the way it 's supposed to be . josh : look , if you 're not happy about aspen , we can just forget about it , okay ? it was just supposed to be a vacation getaway . springfield will always be our home . reva : home 's different now . i love you and i love our life . it 's just ... josh : different . reva : the kids are adults now and they 're living lives of their own . josh : that means we can have more time together . reva : i need to start over , joshua . i do n't know whether that should be in aspen , but i know i need a new beginning . josh : what does that mean ? reva : why does it have to mean anything ? is n't it obvious ? josh : not to me . no . i 'm sorry , i ... reva : what are you sorry for ? josh : i do n't know . i 'm just ... i 'm trying here , okay , reva ? you 're pushing me away and i do n't have a clue as to why . reva : you know what ? maybe you 're just sorry that i came back too soon . josh : where are you going ? reva : like you said , i do n't have a clue . ( laughs ) doctor : what have we got ? michelle : he passed out . paramedic : body temp 94 . pulse 126 . borderline shock . michelle : he was in the water , so i think it 's probably hypothermia . doctor : i 'm sorry . only one of you can stay here with him . excuse me . michelle : go ahead . you stay . marina : are you sure ? michelle : yeah . can i get just a minute please ? would that be okay ? oh , tony . i never meant to hurt you . i owe you my life , you know that ? i could n't save yours . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . doctor : his core temperature is low . he 's got some contusions , bruised ribs . marina : well , how serious is it ?

r.j. : are these yours ? edmund : yes , they are . yes , they 're mine . i 'm ... i 'm going away on a little trip . you went away on a trip , and now it 's my turn . and the only bad part about it is i wo n't have much time to spend with you because i 'm leaving tonight . come here . come here . i want to talk to you guys . you come right there . you sit there and you -- whoo -- you sit right there and i sit next to you . i 'm going away on a very important mission . but you have a very important mission , too , right here . right here , because i 'm leaving you two in charge . r.j. : we 're too little . edmund : no , you 're not . you 're not too little . i think you 're completely up to the task . and the biggest part about the task is you make sure you watch after those two , because they 're going to try to paint the outside of the house pink . they 're going to try to take you shopping every week , and they 're going to try to -- worst thing of all -- have slumber parties . and we ca n't have that , can we ?

r.j. : promise ? edmund : i promise , i promise . dinah : do you guys want a few minutes alone ? cassie : hey , guys . can you stay in here with dinah , please ? maybe this was a mistake , having you leave at the same moment that they 're coming home . i 'm sorry that you had to have a good - bye like that . edmund : no need to apologize . i 'm just glad i had even a few minutes with them . cassie : but they 're going to be fine , you know . edmund : yes . take care of yourself and i will call you , and i will see you for the big day . cassie : okay . edmund : i love you . josh : i 'd like to send a drink to the gorgeous blonde with the handful of napkins over there ?

[ chuckles ] nikolas : see , i just -- i want you to know who i really am . rebecca : yeah . nikolas : why i 'm the way i am . and the only way to really do that is to take you to where it all started . rebecca : what ? you 're going to take me to greece ? nikolas : mm - hmm . on my family 's island . rebecca : oh , my god . nikolas : i want to show you my childhood ... rebecca : yeah ? nikolas : introduce you to all the people who knew me then , and ... i want you to get to know my son . i want you and i to take spencer to greece . rebecca : okay . when do we go ? nikolas : today . [ scene_break ] olivia : okay . exactly what am i supposed to be here , an idiot ? carly : no , you 're a friend . you 're a very , very good friend . olivia : right . right . i 'm sure that dr. lee would n't approve if i tackled you and tied you to the sofa , but that 's what i would do before i took you into work today . carly : i have been following doctors ' orders till they 're coming out of my ears . i 'm fine , my stress levels are fine , and i 'll be better when i get to work . olivia : honey , i know what you 're doing here . you 're trying to distract yourself from worrying about michael . carly : yeah . see , this is why i do n't have girlfriends , because you 're all too knowing , and you 're hard to fool . yes . okay , fine . i think about michael 24/7 , and i need a distraction . there 's also the timing thing . [ olivia sighs ] carly : jax needs to be convinced that i can handle work and my health all at the same time . and as you know , jax is on a business trip . so i 'm going to take advantage of the situation . i am going to get back into the swing of things . i am . so when jax walks back in , and he sees me sitting behind my desk , he 's going to see that i 'm calm and efficient . he 's going to see that i can have a life of my own and that i can handle carrying this baby to term all at the same time . olivia : carly , please sit . carly : no . olivia : sit down . [ carly sighs ] olivia : okay . honey , you are already doing the most important job that you can be doing , which is getting the rest that you need . does that read as boring to a type `` a `` personality such as yourself ? you 're damn straight . i get that , okay ? but there 's something more important going on here than your need to be hyperactive , okay ? that little baby inside you needs her mommy to devote this time entirely to her . okay ? there 's no choice here , honey . you can not go into work . [ scene_break ] morgan : you 're in my way . kiefer : come on . morgan : my tickets ! kiefer : that whack job you call your brother is going to trash k 's life . i 'm not going to let that happen . i know michael 's been emailing you , okay ? so you 're going to tell me exactly where he is -- dominic : where are you from ? kiefer : i do n't do gangs , man . dominic : where are you from ? kiefer : here , port charles . dominic : oh , yeah ? i 'm from bensonhurst . you want to know what we do in our neighborhood to punk teenagers who pick on little kids ? morgan : boy , you really messed up this time , kiefer . this guy 's one of my dad 's . dominic : how you doing , kid ? morgan : a lot better now . come up on me again , i 'll tell my dad . you 'll meet more guys who work for him . [ kiefer panting ] dominic : think you can , uh , wrap your head around that ? kiefer : yeah , no problem . dominic : yeah , okay . kiefer : got it . dominic : move along . morgan : that was awesome . thanks for the save . dominic : hey , no problem . are these yours ? yankees ? i would say your dad raised you right . [ scene_break ] guard : sit opposite the prisoner . keep your hands on the table . no physical contact and no exchange of items . johnny : got it . [ anthony chuckles ] [ door shuts ] anthony : such an honor . my only son finally deigns to visit his poor old locked - up dad . have a seat . i 'd order you a drink , but i gave my butler the day off . johnny : i 'm here . why ? anthony : no social amenities ? no , `` hey dad , you look good , considering `` ? you break my heart , john . johnny : what do you want ? anthony : all right . have it your way . i hear things from the outside , things that concern me , because despite your history of ungratefulness ... everything i think or do is about ensuring your future . johnny : the point ? anthony : i 'm relieved you found a way to coexist with your brother - in - law . it concerns me that your cooperation is so enthusiastic . johnny : well ... what would you prefer , hmm ? that in the name of avenging you , i kill sonny and take control of the organization ? anthony : it 's enough that you 're in position . i 'll do the rest . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , little girl . here we are in front of mayor floyd 's pretentious mansion . now , your job is to assist mommy by just being the adorable little girl that you are . because , as you see , babies are magnets . they get people talking . all right ? so just sit there , look cute , and i will try and nab some neighbors that walk by . [ clicks ] oh . okay . you 're on . you feel better now ? you got all clean and changed ? woman : can i help you with anything ? robin : oh ! no , thank you . just finishing up a diaper change stop . [ woman gasps ] woman : what a bundle of joy . [ emma cries ] woman : ohh . robin : this is emma . woman : hi , emma . hi , emma . robin : it 's okay , baby . she 's shy . woman : she 's precious . [ robin laughs ] woman : aww . robin : well , i 'm biased . i think so . um , do you live around here ? woman : in my dreams . i ca n't afford a house on harbor view . i work for the mayor and his wife , one of their housekeepers . hi , little girl . [ footsteps ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you look like you forgot to eat , and i 'm guessing you were up all night thinking about whatever it is you 're about to tell me . lucky : hey , thanks for breakfast and making me realize how much you mean to me all over again . elizabeth : wow . a bagel did all that ? lucky : no , just the way we work together . without even thinking , the way we calmed cam down ? you and i have a bond . no matter how far we drift apart , we 'll always have a chance to make it right . elizabeth : yeah . i realize that , too , even though there was many times i thought we 'd never speak to each other again , much less be close . but somehow , it always fixes itself . like , as long as you and i are both alive , there will always be a possibility of reconnecting . lucky : we 're so blessed to have that . but nikolas , he does n't , not since em has been gone . maybe missing her or needing her has left him vulnerable . elizabeth : is this about rebecca , she asked with dread ? lucky : you were right about her all along . the only real reason rebecca came back to port charles was to bilk money out of emily 's loved ones , including nikolas . [ scene_break ] rebecca : i 'm going to have to say that the last thing i expected when i woke up this morning was to be whisked off to greece with your son i 've never met before by the end of the day . nikolas : okay -- okay . rebecca : yeah . nikolas : all right . not a definite no . that 's -- that 's good . we 're making progress here . rebecca : i mean , yeah . to be honest , nikolas , i 'd love to go , but -- nikolas : but ? stop -- stop right there . you 'd love to go . so we go . rebecca : it 's not that simple . nikolas : what 's difficult about it ? [ rebecca scoffs ] rebecca : i have responsibilities . i have a job , you know . i have n't been at gh that long , and i 'm not going to have any vacation time , and you know , i 'm not going to be able to -- nikolas : hey . rebecca : hey ! nikolas : hey . you 're stuck in the mindset of the way things used to be . rebecca , your circumstances have changed dramatically , yes ? rebecca : yes . nikolas : you 're as good as a quartermaine . you 're living in their house , accepted into their family , and ... you 're with me . edward and i carry a lot of weight with the hospital board , you know . rebecca : yeah . it must be nice for you . [ rebecca chuckles ] nikolas : yeah , it has its moments . so , what do you say ? you want to take a walk in my world or what ? come on . rebecca : yeah . nikolas : yeah ? rebecca : yeah . nikolas ... nikolas : okay . rebecca : i 'd love to go to greece . nikolas : all right , great . i 'll go get spencer . he 's actually here right now . rebecca : okay . nikolas : it 's time the two of you met , yeah ? rebecca : yeah . [ chuckles ] oh . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] johnny : i 'd say the dirty work 's already in progress . it 's fairly obvious that these zacchara people who are breaking away from corinthos , they 're taking orders from you . anthony : obvious to whom ? everyone , or just you ? johnny : you know , sonny and jason are a hell of a lot smarter than you give them credit for . [ anthony laughs ] anthony : all right . if all goes as planned , john -- and i have no reason to doubt it -- my life 's goal will be accomplished , and the empire i 've built will be in the hands of its rightful heir -- although , i 'll be honest with you , john , i do n't know why i should care anymore . you reject me , disrespect me . your loyalty is constantly in question . and that 's not right , john . [ johnny chuckles ] johnny : sorry . but really ? you 're going to sit there in that pretty orange jumpsuit and pontificate to me about what 's right ? anthony : just tell me straight . when this hostile takeover comes to pass , what side are you going to land on ? johnny : hmm . you know , i do n't know . i 've never really been that good at making plans . you 'd know that if you knew me at all . see , i never really learned how to , because as a kid , i never knew how much time i had before you were going to jump psycho and try to have me killed . anthony : see ? it 's this kind of talk that disappoints me , john . it 's not forward -- johnny : it 's the only way i know , because of you . [ johnny sniffs and groans ] johnny : but you do n't have to worry about me , pop . i 'm going to be okay . i do well thinking in the moment . just as i did well in corinthos ' program , i may just do the same in yours . whichever way the wind blows , right ? that 's where i 'll be . johnny : see , power and control , they were never my drugs of choice . so i do n't give a damn who wins this pointless war of yours . [ sighs ] and i may be your son ... [ scoffs ] but i 'm not a damn thing like you . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] carly : okay . bring me up to speed . did you have it out with your son about dating johnny ? olivia : oh , i 've been talking myself blue in the face . a lot of good it does -- the kid is more stubborn than me , if that 's even possible . carly : yeah , well , do n't give up something that makes you happy . do n't be bullied into that . olivia : no , not a chance . not a chance . it 's just that it used to be so much easier , you know ? you know , back when i could bluff him into thinking that i was perfect and i could do no wrong , and then , a funny thing happened . carly : yeah . he grew up ? olivia : yes . just all of a sudden started having opinions and questioning the choices i was making with my life . i just -- i just wish sometimes i could turn that clock back , you know ? have that little guy who just loved me , accepted me , no matter what . carly : yeah . i hear you . morgan : come on . in here . carly : hey ! where 'd you find him ? morgan : do n't be mad . i was in trouble . dominic totally saved me . [ scene_break ] lucky : and that 's rebecca , according to ethan . now , i realize that he could be just making this up to cause trouble . elizabeth : no . somehow , i doubt it . so let me get this straight . rebecca knew all along that she was emily 's twin sister before she ever showed up in port charles . lucky : again , according to ethan . elizabeth : whom she met by chance in the airport . lucky : uh - uh . at the bar , because the flight was delayed . now , rebecca told ethan about the plan , and he said it needed time to be tweaked . elizabeth : so they took a 2-month detour to new york to refine it , where she can show up here , an innocent victim of circumstance , where she has no idea who em was or any of us . lucky : that way , we come to her . [ elizabeth sighs ] lucky : you got to give my new brother credit . i mean , the scam worked . dad would be proud . elizabeth : and ethan actually said that after rebecca successfully bilked nikolas and the quartermaines out of the appropriate amount of money , she had every intention of running off with him ? lucky : right . elizabeth : god . this is disaster . poor nikolas is going to be devastated . lucky : exactly , which is what gives me pause . is it our secret to tell ? elizabeth : are you suggesting we protect this conniving witch ? lucky : no . it 's why i 'm asking . does it really matter why rebecca 's with nikolas ? i mean , as long as he 's happy ... [ scene_break ] [ nikolas sighs ] nikolas : spencer , i want you to meet someone who is very special to me . this is rebecca shaw . rebecca : hi , spencer . hi . spencer : hello . rebecca : hi . [ nikolas chuckles ] rebecca : oh . nikolas : rebecca is going to come to greece with us . rebecca : yeah . wow . i ca n't believe your family has a whole island in greece all to yourselves . um , i mean , i -- i guess you probably have that here , too , right ? but i 'm assuming that the one in greece is a lot bigger . nikolas : yeah , quite a bit . rebecca : yeah . well , i hope you guys are going to show me around . nikolas : of course we will . i want you and spencer to have a chance to get to know each other . rebecca : um ... spencer , um , i hope you do n't mind if i 'm a little shy at first , you know ? sometimes , it 's hard for me to meet new people , and , um , you probably think i look like someone . spencer : emily . rebecca : yeah . well , that 's because i was her sister , and , um -- your dad told me that you loved her very much . and i 'm sure that you probably miss her . and so , i just wanted to tell you that i 'm not trying to take her place , okay ? i just -- i just want the chance to be your friend . [ nikolas chuckles ] nikolas : of course you 'll be friends , right , spence ? spencer : yeah . rebecca : um , all right . uh , why do n't you go up to your playroom , maybe , and get some toys to take to greece ? [ nikolas chuckles ] [ rebecca laughs ] nikolas : go ahead , son . tell norma i 'll be -- i 'll be up to speak to her in a minute . [ sighs ] rebecca : wow . nikolas : i 'm really sorry about that . rebecca : oh , god . no , no . please , nikolas . i mean , guys his age are always shy , you know , when they meet strangers . nikolas : you 've been in this house for months . you should n't be a stranger to him . rebecca : no , i understand why you waited . nikolas : it 's just that -- see , when i was seeing nadine , she spent a lot of time with him . and then , we broke up , and overnight , she was just gone . not gone like emily , of course , but what difference does it make to him ? rebecca : right . nikolas : to him , it 's just another person that disappeared out of his life . i could n't take the risk of that happening with you . i had to wait . rebecca : till you were sure about me ? nikolas : right . i hope that does n't offend you . rebecca : oh , no , nikolas . i understand why you did that . i think it was very wise of you , and i just want you to know how much it means to me for you to introduce me to your son and , um , just to tell him that i 'm special to you . nikolas : well , you are . [ rebecca chuckles ] rebecca : oh . [ scene_break ] carly : do you two know each other ? olivia : we met at sonny 's . dominic : yeah . how 's it going ? olivia : fine . carly : okay . do you want to tell me how you helped get morgan out of trouble ? morgan : do n't worry . it was n't about dad 's business or anything . carly : okay , well , the last thing i knew , you were riding your bike in the neighborhood . what happened ? morgan : i really went out to pick up the yankee tickets i bought online . and i was coming back home through the docks , and then , kristina 's jerky boyfriend showed up and started pushing me around . carly : kristina 's boyfriend put his hands on you ? what 's his name ? morgan : kiefer . but that does n't matter . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . dominic took care of it . carly : you want to pick up the narrative ? dominic : well , i just saw some teenager trying to intimidate a little kid , so i put a stop to it . olivia : what 'd you do , break his kneecaps ? dominic : no . i just gave him a scare , threw him up against the wall , held him there while morgan reminded the punk who his father was . morgan : then dominic gave me a ride home . carly : thank you . i owe you . dominic : happy to do it . carly : protecting morgan from a bully is a far cry from threatening to take him hostage , is n't it ? olivia : excuse me , what ? carly : oh , dominic held me , michael , and morgan at gunpoint one interesting night in the woods . clearly , he did n't kill us . he let us go . and somehow , dominic managed to parlay that into a job with sonny . dominic : okay , then . i should go . make sure you cheer hard for those yankees , okay , buddy ? morgan : i will dominic : all right . morgan : thanks , dominic . dominic : no problem . olivia : well . you are really one cool customer , being civil to that guy after what he did to you and your boys . carly : oh . i mean , i would never tell him to his face , but i think that dominic guy is -- i think he 's pretty decent . and after him helping morgan now , he 's earned a few more notches in my book . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . thanks for meeting me . spinelli : yes . your request intrigued me . but , um , before we proceed , i 'd like to preempt a possible direction this meeting could take -- nip it in the bud , so to speak . [ sniffs ] maximista and i are now officially engaged and are in the initial stages of planning a wedding . so it is far too late for any vespidial objections . johnny : hey , this vespid was the first one to congratulate you , remember ? spinelli : yes , but who knows if those words were sincere ? perhaps it was a stalling tactic to buy more time to steal maximista 's heart . johnny : listen to me , spinelli . i do not want to steal maxie 's heart . that 's certainly not why i assumed you 'd be here . [ spinelli exhales ] spinelli : okay , then why ? johnny : i want you to help me take down my father once and for all . [ scene_break ] patrick : whoa . by the look on your face , i can guess that the mother - daughter detective team was a success . robin : our student was brilliant . patrick : yeah ? where is our brilliant student ? robin : she 's with judy , taking a very well - earned nap . patrick : okay . so , tell me . how 'd it go ? robin : okay . just as i predicted , emma was so cute that we reeled in one of mayor floyd 's housekeepers . mm - hmm . apparently , the floyd household is n't the happiest place on earth . patrick : well , that 's not surprising . spouses fight when adultery rears its ugly head . robin : right . just as i thought , andrea knew about the affair . floyd had asked her for a divorce , and according to the housekeeper , andrea said , and i quote , she would rather have him ruined or dead before she 'd let him go . patrick : wow . emma did an incredible job . did she happen to get the housekeeper to admit that she secretly videotaped the fights , or maybe promised to , you know , testify , maybe , or something -- robin : you know what ? do n't rub it in , all right ? i am well aware that this does not constitute the proof i need . patrick : not yet , anyway . robin : what ? [ laughs ] do my ears deceive me ? was that actually a sound of encouragement ? patrick : i 'm just teasing you . you 're doing a great job . keep it up . [ telephone rings ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : maybe i 'm not the person you should ask about what to do with rebecca 's secrets . lucky : i am -- what would you do ? elizabeth : i do n't know . lucky : okay , come on . you 've basically hated rebecca since you saw her . i know that your first impulse , after i told you , was to go over to wyndemere and blow her out of the water . elizabeth : well , yeah , 'cause i do n't trust her . i do n't even like her . i ca n't believe i 'm going to say this , but really , who are we to say that rebecca 's original intentions are more valid than the ones she has now ? and what about ethan 's intentions ? why would he expose her , unless it 's because she has genuinely fallen for nikolas , and he 's jealous ? lucky : okay . so you can accept that rebecca 's changed ? elizabeth : it 's possible . i mean , nikolas is a great guy . it 's not hard to believe she fell in love without meaning to . and if not , if she 's still planning on scamming him , well , maybe that 's exactly what needs to happen . maybe that 's the only way to break the hold she has over him . nikolas : okay . so what if you were nikolas ? would you want to know ? elizabeth : absolutely . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm confused . why would you believe that your father , the former kingpin of crime , would still be a threat ? is he not serving multiple life sentences in the big house ? johnny : yeah , where he 's consolidating power , making inroads . there 's an entire zacchara faction working against sonny corinthos right now as we speak . i want to stop that uprising before it gains any more traction . spinelli : have you contemplated and accepted the fact that this course of action would require you to take a permanent stance on the side of mr. sir and stone cold and , therefore , pitting yourself against your own flesh and blood ? johnny : yeah . i spent my entire life living under my father 's thumb , adjusting to his whims , looking over my shoulder for the knife that he might stab me in the back with at any given moment without notice . [ sighs ] these last 2 years , they 've been the only taste of freedom i 've ever had . i 'm not about to go back to my father 's evil ways . i 'm not . but he 's not going to like that . he 's going to do everything in his power to get me back , including using the people i care about most to manipulate me . spinelli : well , how can i help ? johnny : well , i want you to hack into the prison network , find a way to disappear my father . get him transferred out of state or , even better , put him in solitary till he rots . [ scene_break ] dominic : whoa . when you say 2 minutes , you really mean 2 minutes . olivia : do n't cute with me , tony dante , 'cause you got a lot to answer for . dominic : what , does this mean you 're not going to help me -- olivia : you ought to be ashamed of yourself . dominic : i separated the whites . olivia : i raised you to know the difference between right and wrong , okay ? you 're supposed to be a cop , for god 's sake . now , i find out that you terrorized a pregnant woman and her 2 children at gunpoint ? dominic : ow ! olivia : what the hell is wrong with you ? dominic : would you calm down ? for god 's sake , ma , carly and her kids were never in any danger from me . okay ? i just wanted to get away from them so i could n't be id 'd . when i realized who they were , i decided to find a way to use it to my advantage . olivia : nice . nice . all in a day 's work . dominic : exactly . and you ca n't argue with results . carly vouched for me with sonny . olivia : oh . good . i 'm thrilled -- i 'm really thrilled for you . for me , not so much . you want to know why ? 'cause you just added carly to the growing list of people that i am betraying now by knowing the truth -- that you 're an undercover cop that 's here to take them all down . [ dominic sighs ] [ scene_break ] robin : here you go . patrick : oh , thank you . robin : okay . if there was enough evidence to convict andrea for murder , the housekeeper would n't have to come forth voluntarily , and we 'd subpoena her . patrick : `` we `` as in me and you , or you in conjunction with the pcpd ? robin : how about whatever works ? patrick : uh - oh . andrea 's in trouble . i can tell . robin : how ? patrick : the look of determination in your eye . gathering evidence is going to be the tricky part . convincing matt that you have enough to arrest the mayor 's wife ... robin : that 's why this case has to be airtight . all the dots have to connect . you care to accompany me to the scene of the crime ? [ scene_break ] olivia : we 're in a laundromat . you want a laundry list of all the ways that i 'm compromising us both right now ? dominic : not particularly . olivia : okay . first of all , there 's johnny . dominic : okay . can we please not go there ? olivia : i realize that the fact that him being in my life is disturbing to you , but he 's there anyway . and you know what ? johnny is good to me , and i have n't allowed myself to have that in my life in a really long time . and now , you 2 are all partnered up . he has no idea that you 're an undercover cop . dominic : you know , i do n't care if johnny buys you roses or not . he 's a gangster . he made that choice , accepted any potential consequences . olivia : you want to talk about consequences ? how about little morgan corinthos , huh ? he 's a trusting little boy . you think it 's not going to break his heart when he finds out that his new best friend dominic 's sole mission in life is really to put his father in prison ? right ? okay . we 've got johnny , carly , michael , morgan -- all casualties of this investigation . dominic : look , ma ... i 'm sorry i put you in this position -- a terrible position , possibly even dangerous . but i hate it . the solution is not for me to drop my investigation . it 's for you to go back to bensonhurst , where you do n't have to be compromising yourself about lying to people all the time . [ scene_break ] nikolas : yes . i do n't have the flight information yet , but i 'm expecting to land in athens sometime tomorrow afternoon . yeah . i 'll email you the info as soon as i have it . thanks . thanks , dmitri . bye . hey . i did n't expect to see you . lucky : sounds like you 're taking a trip . nikolas : i am , which is why i 'm kind of rushed . lucky : yeah ? where ? nikolas : greece . you know what ? for the first time since i ca n't even remember , i 'm actually looking forward to visiting home . lucky : is it business ? nikolas : no . i 'm taking rebecca and spencer . i want her to see where i grew up and give them a chance to get to know each other . lucky : hey , nikolas -- nikolas : i 'm sorry , lucky . i 'm trying to get the flight for this evening , so i do n't really have a lot of time -- lucky : okay . all right . then i wo n't sugar - coat it . rebecca 's been lying to you since the first day she showed up . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] olivia : what now ? hey . are n't you just what the doctor ordered . mmm . mmm . johnny : what was that for ? olivia : oh , it was for being the only person in the world that is not on my last nerve right now . johnny : does that include dominic ? olivia : dominic ? johnny : yeah . i saw you 2 at the laundromat having what appeared to be a pretty intense conversation . want to share what that was about ? [ scene_break ] carly : you 're back already ? morgan : uh , i invited him to the game . carly : i do n't remember dominic being on the list of candidates we discussed . morgan : well , i thought about him at the last minute . dominic : hey , kid , you mind getting me a glass of water ? i 'm thirsty . morgan : uh , sure . mom , you want anything to drink ? carly : no , i 'm good . i 'm good . thanks . dominic : look , i know you have major reservations about me taking morgan anywhere . i 'm no one a mother wants her impressionable kid hanging out with . it 's just ... he reminds me of me . he seems like a lonely kid who carries a weight on his shoulders , and i did n't know how to say no , but i will , if that 's what you want . [ footsteps ] morgan : i know i should have asked before i called dominic , but i was worried 'cause i was running out of time , and i could n't think of anyone else to ask . i really want to go , mom . ooh , the guy i bought them from said they were really good seats . can you tell ? dominic : all right . let me see . okay . 2 , section -- actually these are pretty good seats , buddy .

[ scene_break ] rebecca : i 'm going to have to say that the last thing i expected when i woke up this morning was to be whisked off to greece with your son i 've never met before by the end of the day . nikolas : okay -- okay . rebecca : yeah . nikolas : all right . not a definite no . that 's -- that 's good . we 're making progress here . rebecca : i mean , yeah . to be honest , nikolas , i 'd love to go , but -- nikolas : but ? stop -- stop right there . you 'd love to go . so we go . rebecca : it 's not that simple . nikolas : what 's difficult about it ?

[ rebecca chuckles ] nikolas : yeah , it has its moments . so , what do you say ? you want to take a walk in my world or what ? come on . rebecca : yeah . nikolas : yeah ? rebecca : yeah . nikolas ... nikolas : okay . rebecca : i 'd love to go to greece . nikolas : all right , great . i 'll go get spencer . he 's actually here right now . rebecca : okay . nikolas : it 's time the two of you met , yeah ? rebecca : yeah . [ chuckles ] oh . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] johnny : i 'd say the dirty work 's already in progress . it 's fairly obvious that these zacchara people who are breaking away from corinthos , they 're taking orders from you . anthony : obvious to whom ? everyone , or just you ? johnny : you know , sonny and jason are a hell of a lot smarter than you give them credit for . [ anthony laughs ] anthony : all right . if all goes as planned , john -- and i have no reason to doubt it -- my life 's goal will be accomplished , and the empire i 've built will be in the hands of its rightful heir -- although , i 'll be honest with you , john , i do n't know why i should care anymore . you reject me , disrespect me . your loyalty is constantly in question . and that 's not right , john . [ johnny chuckles ] johnny : sorry . but really ? you 're going to sit there in that pretty orange jumpsuit and pontificate to me about what 's right ? anthony : just tell me straight . when this hostile takeover comes to pass , what side are you going to land on ? johnny : hmm . you know , i do n't know . i 've never really been that good at making plans . you 'd know that if you knew me at all . see , i never really learned how to , because as a kid , i never knew how much time i had before you were going to jump psycho and try to have me killed . anthony : see ? it 's this kind of talk that disappoints me , john . it 's not forward -- johnny : it 's the only way i know , because of you . [ johnny sniffs and groans ] johnny : but you do n't have to worry about me , pop . i 'm going to be okay . i do well thinking in the moment . just as i did well in corinthos ' program , i may just do the same in yours . whichever way the wind blows , right ? that 's where i 'll be . johnny : see , power and control , they were never my drugs of choice . so i do n't give a damn who wins this pointless war of yours . [ sighs ] and i may be your son ... [ scoffs ] but i 'm not a damn thing like you . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] carly : okay . bring me up to speed . did you have it out with your son about dating johnny ? olivia : oh , i 've been talking myself blue in the face . a lot of good it does -- the kid is more stubborn than me , if that 's even possible . carly : yeah , well , do n't give up something that makes you happy . do n't be bullied into that . olivia : no , not a chance . not a chance . it 's just that it used to be so much easier , you know ? you know , back when i could bluff him into thinking that i was perfect and i could do no wrong , and then , a funny thing happened . carly : yeah . he grew up ? olivia : yes . just all of a sudden started having opinions and questioning the choices i was making with my life . i just -- i just wish sometimes i could turn that clock back , you know ? have that little guy who just loved me , accepted me , no matter what . carly : yeah . i hear you . morgan : come on . in here . carly : hey ! where 'd you find him ? morgan : do n't be mad . i was in trouble . dominic totally saved me . [ scene_break ] lucky : and that 's rebecca , according to ethan . now , i realize that he could be just making this up to cause trouble . elizabeth : no . somehow , i doubt it . so let me get this straight . rebecca knew all along that she was emily 's twin sister before she ever showed up in port charles . lucky : again , according to ethan . elizabeth : whom she met by chance in the airport . lucky : uh - uh . at the bar , because the flight was delayed . now , rebecca told ethan about the plan , and he said it needed time to be tweaked . elizabeth : so they took a 2-month detour to new york to refine it , where she can show up here , an innocent victim of circumstance , where she has no idea who em was or any of us . lucky : that way , we come to her . [ elizabeth sighs ] lucky : you got to give my new brother credit . i mean , the scam worked . dad would be proud . elizabeth : and ethan actually said that after rebecca successfully bilked nikolas and the quartermaines out of the appropriate amount of money , she had every intention of running off with him ? lucky : right . elizabeth : god . this is disaster . poor nikolas is going to be devastated . lucky : exactly , which is what gives me pause . is it our secret to tell ? elizabeth : are you suggesting we protect this conniving witch ? lucky : no . it 's why i 'm asking . does it really matter why rebecca 's with nikolas ? i mean , as long as he 's happy ... [ scene_break ] [ nikolas sighs ] nikolas : spencer , i want you to meet someone who is very special to me . this is rebecca shaw . rebecca : hi , spencer . hi . spencer : hello . rebecca : hi . [ nikolas chuckles ] rebecca : oh . nikolas : rebecca is going to come to greece with us . rebecca : yeah . wow . i ca n't believe your family has a whole island in greece all to yourselves . um , i mean , i -- i guess you probably have that here , too , right ? but i 'm assuming that the one in greece is a lot bigger . nikolas : yeah , quite a bit . rebecca : yeah . well , i hope you guys are going to show me around . nikolas : of course we will . i want you and spencer to have a chance to get to know each other . rebecca : um ... spencer , um , i hope you do n't mind if i 'm a little shy at first , you know ? sometimes , it 's hard for me to meet new people , and , um , you probably think i look like someone . spencer : emily . rebecca : yeah . well , that 's because i was her sister , and , um -- your dad told me that you loved her very much . and i 'm sure that you probably miss her . and so , i just wanted to tell you that i 'm not trying to take her place , okay ? i just -- i just want the chance to be your friend . [ nikolas chuckles ] nikolas : of course you 'll be friends , right , spence ? spencer : yeah . rebecca : um , all right . uh , why do n't you go up to your playroom , maybe , and get some toys to take to greece ? [ nikolas chuckles ] [ rebecca laughs ] nikolas : go ahead , son . tell norma i 'll be -- i 'll be up to speak to her in a minute . [ sighs ] rebecca : wow . nikolas : i 'm really sorry about that . rebecca : oh , god . no , no . please , nikolas . i mean , guys his age are always shy , you know , when they meet strangers . nikolas : you 've been in this house for months . you should n't be a stranger to him . rebecca : no , i understand why you waited . nikolas : it 's just that -- see , when i was seeing nadine , she spent a lot of time with him . and then , we broke up , and overnight , she was just gone . not gone like emily , of course , but what difference does it make to him ? rebecca : right . nikolas : to him , it 's just another person that disappeared out of his life . i could n't take the risk of that happening with you . i had to wait . rebecca : till you were sure about me ? nikolas : right . i hope that does n't offend you . rebecca : oh , no , nikolas . i understand why you did that . i think it was very wise of you , and i just want you to know how much it means to me for you to introduce me to your son and , um , just to tell him that i 'm special to you . nikolas : well , you are . [ rebecca chuckles ] rebecca : oh . [ scene_break ] carly : do you two know each other ? olivia : we met at sonny 's . dominic : yeah . how 's it going ? olivia : fine . carly : okay . do you want to tell me how you helped get morgan out of trouble ? morgan : do n't worry . it was n't about dad 's business or anything . carly : okay , well , the last thing i knew , you were riding your bike in the neighborhood . what happened ? morgan : i really went out to pick up the yankee tickets i bought online . and i was coming back home through the docks , and then , kristina 's jerky boyfriend showed up and started pushing me around . carly : kristina 's boyfriend put his hands on you ? what 's his name ? morgan : kiefer . but that does n't matter . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . dominic took care of it . carly : you want to pick up the narrative ? dominic : well , i just saw some teenager trying to intimidate a little kid , so i put a stop to it . olivia : what 'd you do , break his kneecaps ? dominic : no . i just gave him a scare , threw him up against the wall , held him there while morgan reminded the punk who his father was . morgan : then dominic gave me a ride home . carly : thank you . i owe you . dominic : happy to do it . carly : protecting morgan from a bully is a far cry from threatening to take him hostage , is n't it ? olivia : excuse me , what ? carly : oh , dominic held me , michael , and morgan at gunpoint one interesting night in the woods . clearly , he did n't kill us . he let us go . and somehow , dominic managed to parlay that into a job with sonny . dominic : okay , then . i should go . make sure you cheer hard for those yankees , okay , buddy ? morgan : i will dominic : all right . morgan : thanks , dominic . dominic : no problem . olivia : well . you are really one cool customer , being civil to that guy after what he did to you and your boys . carly : oh . i mean , i would never tell him to his face , but i think that dominic guy is -- i think he 's pretty decent . and after him helping morgan now , he 's earned a few more notches in my book . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . thanks for meeting me . spinelli : yes . your request intrigued me . but , um , before we proceed , i 'd like to preempt a possible direction this meeting could take -- nip it in the bud , so to speak . [ sniffs ] maximista and i are now officially engaged and are in the initial stages of planning a wedding . so it is far too late for any vespidial objections . johnny : hey , this vespid was the first one to congratulate you , remember ? spinelli : yes , but who knows if those words were sincere ? perhaps it was a stalling tactic to buy more time to steal maximista 's heart . johnny : listen to me , spinelli . i do not want to steal maxie 's heart . that 's certainly not why i assumed you 'd be here . [ spinelli exhales ] spinelli : okay , then why ? johnny : i want you to help me take down my father once and for all . [ scene_break ] patrick : whoa . by the look on your face , i can guess that the mother - daughter detective team was a success . robin : our student was brilliant . patrick : yeah ? where is our brilliant student ? robin : she 's with judy , taking a very well - earned nap . patrick : okay . so , tell me . how 'd it go ? robin : okay . just as i predicted , emma was so cute that we reeled in one of mayor floyd 's housekeepers . mm - hmm . apparently , the floyd household is n't the happiest place on earth . patrick : well , that 's not surprising . spouses fight when adultery rears its ugly head . robin : right . just as i thought , andrea knew about the affair . floyd had asked her for a divorce , and according to the housekeeper , andrea said , and i quote , she would rather have him ruined or dead before she 'd let him go . patrick : wow . emma did an incredible job . did she happen to get the housekeeper to admit that she secretly videotaped the fights , or maybe promised to , you know , testify , maybe , or something -- robin : you know what ? do n't rub it in , all right ? i am well aware that this does not constitute the proof i need . patrick : not yet , anyway . robin : what ? [ laughs ] do my ears deceive me ? was that actually a sound of encouragement ? patrick : i 'm just teasing you . you 're doing a great job . keep it up . [ telephone rings ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : maybe i 'm not the person you should ask about what to do with rebecca 's secrets . lucky : i am -- what would you do ? elizabeth : i do n't know . lucky : okay , come on . you 've basically hated rebecca since you saw her . i know that your first impulse , after i told you , was to go over to wyndemere and blow her out of the water . elizabeth : well , yeah , 'cause i do n't trust her . i do n't even like her . i ca n't believe i 'm going to say this , but really , who are we to say that rebecca 's original intentions are more valid than the ones she has now ? and what about ethan 's intentions ? why would he expose her , unless it 's because she has genuinely fallen for nikolas , and he 's jealous ? lucky : okay . so you can accept that rebecca 's changed ? elizabeth : it 's possible . i mean , nikolas is a great guy . it 's not hard to believe she fell in love without meaning to . and if not , if she 's still planning on scamming him , well , maybe that 's exactly what needs to happen . maybe that 's the only way to break the hold she has over him . nikolas : okay . so what if you were nikolas ? would you want to know ? elizabeth : absolutely .

carson : i 'd be happy to , mr . deveraux . victor : your main concern now is chloe 's health . i mean , that 's all that really matters , and all that should . i was insensitive . i apologize . bo : hey . am i interrupting ?

victor : well , i pointed out to him that if he was reneging on his deal with the d.a . to take his chance with a jury , that that was a big mistake . if he was doing it for the sadistic satisfaction of continuing to put hope and her family through hell , then that satisfaction would quickly pale when the judge handed down a death sentence , whici had the ability to make happen . bo : that 's what we call coercion . victor : bottom line , bo -- larry welch spends the rest of his life in statesville . that 's what really matters , is n't it ?

[ scene_break ] t.c . : sweetheart , why 'd you change your mind about sending ivy to the hospital ? eve : based on ivy 's last exam and the strength of her vitals , she seems to be recovering much more quickly than i thought possible . but she does need to conserve her strength to avoid a setback , and i think the stress of being transported to the hospital for tests would -- would do more harm than good . ivy : oh . you did the right thing , eve . you would have lost everything if you 'd forced me to tell t.c . that you 're the sister that left little liz alone to be molested by your father . liz : i do n't know what 's going on with ivy , but the truth will come out . when i 'm ready , everyone will know your secrets and i 'll get my revenge . you 'll lose everything , eve -- everyone you love .

[ scene_break ] t.c . : sweetheart , why 'd you change your mind about sending ivy to the hospital ? eve : based on ivy 's last exam and the strength of her vitals , she seems to be recovering much more quickly than i thought possible . but she does need to conserve her strength to avoid a setback , and i think the stress of being transported to the hospital for tests would -- would do more harm than good . ivy : oh . you did the right thing , eve . you would have lost everything if you 'd forced me to tell t.c . that you 're the sister that left little liz alone to be molested by your father . liz : i do n't know what 's going on with ivy , but the truth will come out . when i 'm ready , everyone will know your secrets and i 'll get my revenge . you 'll lose everything , eve -- everyone you love .

[ scene_break ] dr. barton : well , obviously , you have your reasons for not wanting hope to contact her father , but ...
