'cause that 's exactly where he wants to be . [ scene_break ] carly : jack , what are you doing ? jack : i 'm answering your question . just before we came in here , carly asked me if i really wanted to marry her . i thought that was a really silly question at the time . was n't it obvious how i was feeling ? or do you need to hear the words ? i mean , granted , this past year , we 've yelled when we should have listened . we 've ran when we should have stayed . and at first , i thought that this wedding would be like celebrating the end of something , but i was wrong . you were right . it 's like a beginning for us . a chance for a fresh start . in spite of everything that we 've been through , to love without lies , without holding back . so to answer her question -- to answer your question , i want forever with you , carly , but i 'll take what i can get . minister : now , there 'll be time for that after the ceremony . shall we proceed ? jack : i 'm sorry . you were saying ? minister : so you do indeed take this woman to be your wife ? jack : i do . as long as we both shall live . minister : carly ? jack : hey . carly : i -- jack : what is it ? carly : you looked so sad just now . and it finally hit me -- it finally hit me how i would feel if i found out that you were sick . how much it would hurt . with every breath -- jack , i have to tell you something . you need to know something . i need to talk to you . jack : do you want to go someplace ? carly : no , no . i need to do this . i need to do this right now , okay ? jack : okay , yeah . carly : when i first found out that i was sick , i realized that every moment is precious . and we have to make every minute count , whether we 're just going to live to the end of next week or for another 60 years . jack : carly ? carly : what i 'm telling you is that i 'm grateful . i 'm grateful for my diagnosis , jack . hearing it , it scared me , and it woke me up . it made me see what 's truly important . you and our children . our life . jack : okay . carly : and because of that , i need to tell you now this , right now . i need to tell you and everyone here should know . jack , i 'm not dying after all . jack : say that again ? carly : the doctors were wrong , jack . i 'm going to live . jack : oh , baby ! oh , carly ! gwen : you 're really going to be all right ? carly : yes ! rosanna : this is the best news ! paul : congratulations . emma : oh , carly . oh , i could n't be happier . i could n't be happier .

[ sighs ] look ... you are a very angry young man , and that is understandable . the reason for all this anger that you have is because you have never had a father who wants you around him . chad : and i never will . stefano : hmm .

'cause ian told me . he also told me how desperate you were to find out the results . and you used him . you used him to hack into the system at st. mary 's to find out . then you begged him to hack in again to switch the results . and he did . but just as you were about to make him do the switch , you realized someone already beat you to it -- good old grandma . good old grandma switched the results to make it look like philip was n't the father and that daniel was . can we at least just admit that ? can we at least just say out loud that that 's what happened ? stephanie : yes ! all of it is true , every last bit of it , and i would do it all over again !

pilar : theresa -- she 's never going to agree toto stop fighting for custody of little ethan , even if it means that she could get out of jail . luis : yeah , well , i 'm glad theresa did n't accept julian 's offer . you know , what 's the point of her being free if she ca n't be with her son ? and like i told woody , we 're going to fight the cranes in court as a family . pilar : but will we have the money for a protracted legal battle , luis ? luis : maybe sheridan will lend me the money . i hate to ask her , but i know that she 'll want to help . pilar : my god , you 're a good son . and you 're an amazing brother to theresa . i just hope that her problems do n't cast a cloud over your happiness with sheridan . you two have been through so much , with her kidnapping , losing the baby , and your situation with antonio . luis : we are going to be fine , ok ? now , i just feel guilty being so happy considering theresa 's having such a hard time . but sheridan and i -- we 're finally doing great , and i know it 's only going to get better . mrs. wallace : do you even know how evil you really are , trying to convince antonio to have sheridan locked up in that loony bin again ? beth : no , i did n't try . mother , i convinced antonio he 's doing the right thing for sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh , yeah , that 's right , missy . i heard you . `` ooh , antonio , please , sheridan might hurt herself if she 's left to run around loose . `` and then that whole , whole bit about her trying to come after your baby . boy , that 's even a bigger lie . beth : whatever . like i said , if sheridan thinks that she 's going to take my baby , then she really is nuts . hey , luis thinks that the baby is ours , ok ? so with sheridan locked up , i 'm going to get everything that i ever wanted . luis will be mine . ok ? antonio : i hope your father 's right , sheridan . i only did what i did because i love you . i want to see you get the help that you need . i just hope i did the right thing . sheridan : dr. ackland , what are you doing here ? dr. ackland : i 've come to take you back to the hospital , sheridan , back to the psych ward where you belong . sheridan : no . no , you ca n't take me back there . i wo n't go . dr. ackland : you have no choice . your husband signed the necessary papers to have you committed again . sheridan : no . no , please , no . no . please . 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 liz : here 's to all the possibilities that the new year will bring . t.c . : liz , listen , i do n't want to hurt your feelings , but you 're wasting your time , all right ?

i lost my mind on a couple occasions , but nothing will ever happen between us again , all right ? i love eve , and i wo n't leave her for another woman . fox : whitney , what is wrong ? what did you see out there ? god , whitney , what is it ? whitney : no . eve : no , julian , you know how dangerous this .. rebecca could have seen us . julian : i know , it would be a disaster . it wo n't happen again . eve : that 's what you always say . julian : it 's the effect that you have on me . eve : oh , julian , i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry that you had to marry rebecca just to keep my secret , and i 'm so sorry that you 're in this loveless marriage just so rebecca wo n't tell t.c . that you and i were once in love . julian : all i want is for you to be happy . i was so thoughtless in the past , so wrong to treat you the way i did . if iouould go back and do it all over again , i swear i would . we 'd be married now . our son would know his parents and , god willing , his brothers and sisters . eve : no , julian . no , we ca n't go back . i 'm married now . i love my husband , and he loves me . julian : i know . and that 's all i can do , is to try to make sure that you have a happy life with t.c . and your daughters to make up for that pain i caused you . eve : i love you for that . oh -- i better go before we both do something that we 're going to regret . julian : oh , eve , i so regret letting you get away all those years ago . luis : well , sheridan 's getting better every day . and dr . russell says it 's not going to be long before she realizes that beth 's baby is n't hers and we can move on . pilar : i hope you 're right , mijo . i just pray that your brother antonio can come to accept that you and sheridan were in lov before she met him . luis : oh , he will . antonio knows that sheridan had amnesia when they met and that she did n't remember me . and she told him that she 's in love with me and wants to be with me and not him . pilar : oh , god , poor antonio . and beth . i mean , this ca n't be easy for her , either . she loves you very much , luis , and you have a child with her . luis : look , i have tried to be fair , ok ? i will always be there for beth and our baby , but she understands the situation with sheridan . pilar : i know she tries to , mijo , but it 's got to be so hard for her . luis : well , all i can say is a lot 's happened , but sheridan 's chosen me over antonio . once antonio grants her an annulment , that black cloud that 's hung over us for so long will finally be gone . sheridan : leave me alone . there 's nothing wrong with me ! be careful ! do n't hurt my baby ! dr. ackland : shh , shh , shh . we wo n't hurt your baby . i promise . here we go , here we go , here we go . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : oh , yes . here we go . sheridan : no , you ca n't take me back to that awful place . dr. ackland : ahem . it 's about time you showed up , ms . andrews . ms. andrews : sorry . car trouble . dr. ackland : mm - hmm . the patient thinks that this is her baby . sheridan : but he is my baby . give me back mchchild ! dr. ackland : there you go . sheridan , this is not your baby . your child is dead . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : yes . now , please call beth wallace . have her meet us at the hospital so she can come and get her child . sheridan : no . no . give me back my child ! let me go ! dr. ackland : you 're going to make this hard on yourself , sheridan . just calm down and come quietly , please . sheridan : no , i wo n't let you take my baby away from me again . i 've got to get my baby back ! fox : whitney ?

whitney : i do n't know what i saw . fox : ok . whitney : i mean , i think i know , but what i saw makes absolutely no sense . fox : ok , what was it ? what 'd you see ? whitney : it 's the worst thing that i could ever imagine . fox : whitney , hey , come on , tell me what it was . tell me what you saw . whitney : i -- i saw your father and -- fox : mm - hmm . whitney : he was kissing another woman , and it was n't rebecca . fox : ok , is that all you saw ? whitney : well , yeah . what do you mean , is that all ? fox : no , i just -- i just mean that , you know , my father kissing another woman that 's not his wife , it 's not big news . it happens all the time , you know ? it 's no big deal . whitney : well , yeah , i know that your father supposedly , ok , yes , has had a lot of women , but that does n't mean that -- fox : no , no , no , no , supposedly nothing . the whole time he was married to my mother , he was cheating on her . and i ca n't imagine he 'd be any different with rebecca . whitney : that makes what i saw even more terrible . fox : why ? whitney : it just does . julian : hello . whitney , is that sherry you 're drinking ? fox : yeah , that 's exactly what it is . julian : oh . what 's going on , whitney ? you seem upset . pilar : mijo , there 's nothing more you can do for theresa now . why do n't you go back to sheridan 's cottage and make sure she 's all right ? luis : all right . you should go home , too , all right ? get some rest . pilar : yeah . god , it breaks my heart to see theresa in here in jail , and that awful prison suit . she looks so small , so lost . luis : do n't worry . hey , theresa 's a fighter , ok ? now , one way or another we 're going to get her out of here . pilar : from your lips , mijo . i 'm thankful that at least one of my children has found happiness . luis : everyone 's going to be happy , all right ?

ms. andrews : yes , dr . ackland . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : thank you . sheridan : no ! my baby ! dr. ackland : get her to the ambulance . sheridan : no , no , i wo n't go with you ! leave me alone ! get me out of here ! dr. ackland : we 're trying to help you , sheridan . sheridan : go to hell ! dr. ackland : very well . sheridan : help ! somebody help me ! dr. ackland : you leave me no choice . sheridan : please do n't put me in that thing . get away from me ! man : do n't fight it , ma'am . second man : you 're only going to make it worse . sheridannono ! no ! eñxñ matt armstrong ... liz : relax , t.c . i 'm not asking you to leave your wife . i just wanted to share a sip of champagne to celebrate the new year . t.c . : liz , that is not all you want , and you know it . i want you to understand something about us -- eve and i have a bond together , a bond that ca n't be broken no matter what . liz : nothing lasts forever , t.c . i mean , look at sam and grace . you thought that they would never be apart , as did everyone . but they 're not together now , are they ? t.c . : liz , we 're not sam and grace . and my wife does n't have a son from some man from her past to contend with . eve and i are committed to each other for life . she loves me , and i love her . and no one or nothing is going to come between us , including you , liz . eve : celebrating something , liz ?

julian : of course . whitney : no , fox , don't . it 's ok -- fox : no , no , no , it 's ok . i do n't ndnd . i do n't mind . julian : whitney , you really do n't look well . is it from lack of eating , or perhaps you 're sick ? whitney : oh , yeah , i 'm sick , all right . julian : oh -- what 's the problem , exactly ? whitney : you , mr . crane . you 're the problem . mrs. wallace : bethie , when is enough enough ? have n't you caused sheridan enough pain ? beth : and what about my pain , mother ? hmm ? luis played me like a yo - yo . first , he said he 's finished with sheridan and then he 's with me , and then he dumps me and he goes back to sheridan ? back and forth , back and forth . it drove me crazy ! mrs. wallace : oh , like you were n't a mad hatter before when you hatched this whole plot , huh ? get luis drunk so he 'd think he slept with you , making him think that he got you pregnant , walking around all those months with a sugar sack around your waist , and then keeping sheridan a prisoner down in our basement until that baby was born so you could steal him away from her . god , bethie ! i wish i had the guts to blow the whistle on you . and you know what ?

all that time you spent working to take my husband away has come to nothing . t.c . loves me . he 's dedicated to me and to our marriage . liz : he could still find out about your past , eve . he could find out about you and julian and your love child . then your marriage would be ruined , over , once and for all . eve : well , how is he going to find out ? because i 'm not going to tell him , and neither is julian . liz : how can you be so sure ? and what about rebecca ? she knows most of it , does n't she ? eve : even so , julian married rebecca to keep my secret safe , and as long as rebecca has the crane money and power , she 'll keep her mouth sh .. no , the only way that t.c . could find out is if you tell him , and i know that you wo n't do that . liz : what 's to stop me ? eve : well , if you tell t.c . , he 's not going to understand why you kept quiet for so long , and he will know that you have been lying to him ever since you met him . and i do n't think he would be very happy about that , liz , do you ? no . you wo n't tell him . you ca n't tell t.c . , so he 'll never find out . t.c . : what will i never find out ? pilar : antonio ? antonio : mama . pilar : hi , mijo . how are you feeling ? antonio : i 've been better . pilar : i know . luis told me . antonio : luis -- trying to pressure my wife into being with him , not me , her husband . pilar : antonio , try not to be angry with your brother . he and sheridan know how much you 're hurting , and they hurt for you . antonio : you know what ? i 'd rather talk about something else , if that 's ok . pilar : ok . i understand . my heart breaks for you , mijo , but i know that you 'll find love again someday . some lucky girl will come along and make you a very happy man . you 'll see . antonio : how 's theresa doing ? you know , with little ethan and all ? pilar : oh , well , you do n't know , that 's right . julian and rebecca took custody of little ethan , and your sister was so upset she snuck into the crane mansion to try to get little ethan back and was caught . antonio : theresa 's in jail ? pilar : yeah . rebecca had her arrested . well , julian sent word that she could go free if she agreed not to fight for custody , but your sister refused his offer . she 'd rather stay in jail and fight for her son . antonio : damn julian . pilar : no , this is rebecca 's doing . she still blames your sister for gwen losing her baby , and she wants revenge . antonio : well , what can we do to help theresa ? pilar : well , your brother is sure that sheridan will lend us the money to help cover theresa 's legal expenses . antonio : so luis is going to ask sheridan to help out ? pilar : yeah . he 's on the way to the cottage right now . i am sure theresa 's the first thing that sheridan and luis will discuss . luis : sheridan ? sheridan ? oh , my god . what the hell happened ? sheridan ! sheridan , where are you ? oh , my god , i hope she 's all right . sheridan : no ! get me out of this thing ! you ca n't do this to me ! dr. ackland : sheridan , you have to calm down , or i will sedate you . sheridan : no . i just want my baby , please ! i want my baby , and i want luis ! luis , help me ! beth : i ca n't believe it . antonio really did it . he had sheridan committed . luis is going to be mine . he 's going to be mine forever . sheridan : help me ! luis ! luis , help me ! n pçowyño julian : i 'm afraid i do n't understand . you 're obviously angry with me , and i 'm not sure why . fox : whitney , here you are . a sandwich for you . have some of that , you 'll feel better , all right ? there you go . and , father , as for why she 's mad at you , i can think of a number of reasons , but at the very top of that very , very long list , it 's probably the way you 're treating theresa . that 's whitney 's best friend , father . you had her thrown in jail , and you took away her child . julian : i did n't have her thrown in jail . she ignored a court order , giving me custody of the boy . she even came into this very house and tried to kidnap him . fox : that 's her son . julian : well , it 's my son -- fox : you took him away from her . julian : he 's my son , too . fox : who cares if he 's your son ? you do n't give a damn about him . you do n't care about any of your children . the only reason you 're going along thth rebecca on this is so she can get her sweet revenge on theresa for gwen 's baby dying . julian : what rebecca and i are doing may seem cruel , but i am not a monster . i 'm trying to help theresa now . fox : yeah , how exactly are you trying to help theresa now ? julian : i offered her a deal -- her release from jail if she promises to give up all claims of custody to little ethan . fox : i do n't know . that sounds a little too humane for you , father . who conned you into that one ? julian : nobody conned me into anything . i thought i would just try to help theresa . fox : yeah , whatever . whitney , you 're not eating anything . whitney : fox , you know , i 'm really not that hungry . fox : i know . well , listen , you got to take care of yourself , right ? come on , just a little bit . can i have a word with you outside , please ? julian : i suppose . fox : thank you . i 'll be back . whitney : ok . julian : you know , i really do n't approve of your being with whitney . fox : mm - hmm , -h - hmm . subtle you are not . but like i told you , i 'm in love with her . julian : i suppose you are . i just hope that you 'll be good to her , you 'll be kind , you 'll be gentle , you know . treat her with respect . her welfare is most important to me . fox : uh - huh . i 'm sure that it is . and i know why . it 's because you 're still in love with her mother . t.c . : so what is it , eve ? what am i not supposed to find out ? eve : it 's just -- it 's just that i have a surprise planned for you , so i do n't want you asking too many questions . [ t.c . laughs ] t.c . : baby , you have a surprise for me ? tell me what it is . eve : no . t.c . : yes . eve : t.c . , you 're worse than the kids . you 're just going to have to wait until the time comes . t.c . : oh , i love you . i love you , dr . russell . eve : oh , i love you , too , t.c . , so much . pilar : i know , antonio , that you and luis and miguel will do everytngng you can to help theresa get her son back . familia , mijo -- that 's the most important thing in anyone 's life . antonio : well , that 's what you 've always tried to teach us . pilar : yes . and you 've all learned it very well . i 'm proud of each one of you , and , you , antonio , you have become such an amazing man . antonio : oh , mama , i do n't know if you 're going to be so proud of me when you find out what i 've done . pilar : what do you mean ? antonio : i did what i thought was right , what i thought was right for sheridan , and i signed the papers and had her committed to the psychiatric ward . pilar : what ? antonio , what on earth drove you to do such a thing ? [ knock on door ] luis : hey , is sheridan here ? mrs. wallace : no . luis : or the baby ? mrs. wallace : no , honey , she 's not , but the hospital called and wanted beth to come down and get little martin . luis : the hospital ? what 's the baby doing there ? mrs. wallace : well , honey , i have n't got a clue about that . i just know th b beth went to pick up your baby . luis : oh , my god . god , something must have happened to sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh -- oh , yeah , luis , something happened to sheridan . that evil monster daughter of mine . that 's what happened . she 's going to ruin sheridan 's life . she 's going to ruin your life , too , luis . yours , sheridan 's , and that sweet little baby . sheridan : no ! let me go ! help me ! help ! no ! help ! please let me go ! let me out of here , please . no ! beth : oh , boy , i 'm good , convincing antonio that it was right to put sheridan away . there she is . ms. andrews : there you are . here 's your baby , ms . wallace . eve : oh , thank you . come here , sweet . oh , baby , there he is . there he is .

she 's my wife . and i did what was best for her , and i 'm not alone in this thinking . this is best for sheridan . pilar : you can not believe that , mijo . you can not . luis : beth ? thank god . hey , is martin all right ? beth : he 's fine . luis : what are you doing here ? where 's sheridan ? is she ok ? beth : luis , about sheridan -- luis : yeah . beth : it 's not good . luis : what do you mean ? what the hell 's going on ? beth : well , i hate to be the one to tell you this , but she 's back in the psych ward . she 's been committed . luis : what ? sheridan : please , get me out of here ! help me ! somebody help me ! please ! please ! whitney : i imagine there 's a whole lot of things we do n't know about you , mom . so why do n't you go ahead and tell us . what else are you hiding ? woody : if you refuse the offer , there 's no telling how long you 'll be here in jail . theresa : well , i do n't care . i will never stop fighting for my son . sheridan : let go of me ! no ! please , no ! | whitney is stunned by what she saw from the nursery window - eve and julian sharing passionate kisses . she can not bring herself to tell fox exactly what she saw , and then she glares at julian when he comes into the nursery . dr. ackland places sheridan in a straight - jacket to take her back to the psych ward . antonio tells pilar that he signed the papers to have sheridan committed , and pilar is furious with disbelief that antonio could do such a thing . beth is overjoyed that sheridan is now locked up and has convinced herself that luis will now be with her forever . she blurted out to luis that sheridan is back in the mental facility because antonio put her there . | <s>[INST] whitney : my mom and mr . crane kissing ? no , no , it ca n't be . wait . ok , no . that could n't have been my mom and mr . crane kissing , because my mom and dad are happily married . there 's no way that anything -- whitney : oh , my god . mom ? eve : julian , stop . someone might see us . we ca n't do this . julian : i 'm sorry . i ca n't help mysel i love you so much . whitney : oh , my god . my mom is kissing mr . crane . fox : ah , what a waste . no messages at all . whitney ? hey , whitney , what 's the matter ? whitney : no , fox , this ca n't be happening . it just ca n't be . t.c . : liz ? liz : good morning , t.c . rise and shine . t.c . : what 's all this ? liz : mimosas . i thought it would be the perfect way to start the new year , especially since we never got to share that new year 's eve drink . a few mimosas and who knows where the day will lead ? pilar : theresa -- she 's never going to agree toto stop fighting for custody of little ethan , even if it means that she could get out of jail . luis : yeah , well , i 'm glad theresa did n't accept julian 's offer . you know , what 's the point of her being free if she ca n't be with her son ? and like i told woody , we 're going to fight the cranes in court as a family . pilar : but will we have the money for a protracted legal battle , luis ? luis : maybe sheridan will lend me the money . i hate to ask her , but i know that she 'll want to help . pilar : my god , you 're a good son . and you 're an amazing brother to theresa . i just hope that her problems do n't cast a cloud over your happiness with sheridan . you two have been through so much , with her kidnapping , losing the baby , and your situation with antonio . luis : we are going to be fine , ok ? now , i just feel guilty being so happy considering theresa 's having such a hard time . but sheridan and i -- we 're finally doing great , and i know it 's only going to get better . mrs. wallace : do you even know how evil you really are , trying to convince antonio to have sheridan locked up in that loony bin again ? beth : no , i did n't try . mother , i convinced antonio he 's doing the right thing for sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh , yeah , that 's right , missy . i heard you . `` ooh , antonio , please , sheridan might hurt herself if she 's left to run around loose . `` and then that whole , whole bit about her trying to come after your baby . boy , that 's even a bigger lie . beth : whatever . like i said , if sheridan thinks that she 's going to take my baby , then she really is nuts . hey , luis thinks that the baby is ours , ok ? so with sheridan locked up , i 'm going to get everything that i ever wanted . luis will be mine . ok ? antonio : i hope your father 's right , sheridan . i only did what i did because i love you . i want to see you get the help that you need . i just hope i did the right thing . sheridan : dr. ackland , what are you doing here ? dr. ackland : i 've come to take you back to the hospital , sheridan , back to the psych ward where you belong . sheridan : no . no , you ca n't take me back there . i wo n't go . dr. ackland : you have no choice . your husband signed the necessary papers to have you committed again . sheridan : no . no , please , no . no . please . 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 liz : here 's to all the possibilities that the new year will bring . t.c . : liz , listen , i do n't want to hurt your feelings , but you 're wasting your time , all right ? nothing is ever going to happen between us again . liz : t.c . , please do n't try to deny that you find me attractive . it just wo n't fly . t.c . : of course i find you attractive . i mean , you 're a beautiful woman . but i 'm married . i am married , and i love my wife . liz : t.c . , i just ca n't believe that you are going to spend the rest of your life loving someone who 's simply not worthy of you , someone who is too busy to give you the passion that you need . t.c . , i remember how you kissed me . i remember how much you wanted me . t.c . : liz , i was drinking , ok ? i lost my mind on a couple occasions , but nothing will ever happen between us again , all right ? i love eve , and i wo n't leave her for another woman . fox : whitney , what is wrong ? what did you see out there ? god , whitney , what is it ? whitney : no . eve : no , julian , you know how dangerous this .. rebecca could have seen us . julian : i know , it would be a disaster . it wo n't happen again . eve : that 's what you always say . julian : it 's the effect that you have on me . eve : oh , julian , i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry that you had to marry rebecca just to keep my secret , and i 'm so sorry that you 're in this loveless marriage just so rebecca wo n't tell t.c . that you and i were once in love . julian : all i want is for you to be happy . i was so thoughtless in the past , so wrong to treat you the way i did . if iouould go back and do it all over again , i swear i would . we 'd be married now . our son would know his parents and , god willing , his brothers and sisters . eve : no , julian . no , we ca n't go back . i 'm married now . i love my husband , and he loves me . julian : i know . and that 's all i can do , is to try to make sure that you have a happy life with t.c . and your daughters to make up for that pain i caused you . eve : i love you for that . oh -- i better go before we both do something that we 're going to regret . julian : oh , eve , i so regret letting you get away all those years ago . luis : well , sheridan 's getting better every day . and dr . russell says it 's not going to be long before she realizes that beth 's baby is n't hers and we can move on . pilar : i hope you 're right , mijo . i just pray that your brother antonio can come to accept that you and sheridan were in lov before she met him . luis : oh , he will . antonio knows that sheridan had amnesia when they met and that she did n't remember me . and she told him that she 's in love with me and wants to be with me and not him . pilar : oh , god , poor antonio . and beth . i mean , this ca n't be easy for her , either . she loves you very much , luis , and you have a child with her . luis : look , i have tried to be fair , ok ? i will always be there for beth and our baby , but she understands the situation with sheridan . pilar : i know she tries to , mijo , but it 's got to be so hard for her . luis : well , all i can say is a lot 's happened , but sheridan 's chosen me over antonio . once antonio grants her an annulment , that black cloud that 's hung over us for so long will finally be gone . sheridan : leave me alone . there 's nothing wrong with me ! be careful ! do n't hurt my baby ! dr. ackland : shh , shh , shh . we wo n't hurt your baby . i promise . here we go , here we go , here we go . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : oh , yes . here we go . sheridan : no , you ca n't take me back to that awful place . dr. ackland : ahem . it 's about time you showed up , ms . andrews . ms. andrews : sorry . car trouble . dr. ackland : mm - hmm . the patient thinks that this is her baby . sheridan : but he is my baby . give me back mchchild ! dr. ackland : there you go . sheridan , this is not your baby . your child is dead . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : yes . now , please call beth wallace . have her meet us at the hospital so she can come and get her child . sheridan : no . no . give me back my child ! let me go ! dr. ackland : you 're going to make this hard on yourself , sheridan . just calm down and come quietly , please . sheridan : no , i wo n't let you take my baby away from me again . i 've got to get my baby back ! fox : whitney ? whitney : hmm ? fox : hey , listen , are you sick ? do i need to call your mother ? whitney : no ! no , no . fox : ok . whitney : i mean , i 'm not sick . i 'm just feeling a little dizzy , that 's all , right now . fox : ok . well , listen , just stay here . i 'm going to go get you a sherry , ok ?

whitney : i do n't know what i saw . fox : ok . whitney : i mean , i think i know , but what i saw makes absolutely no sense . fox : ok , what was it ? what 'd you see ? whitney : it 's the worst thing that i could ever imagine . fox : whitney , hey , come on , tell me what it was . tell me what you saw . whitney : i -- i saw your father and -- fox : mm - hmm . whitney : he was kissing another woman , and it was n't rebecca . fox : ok , is that all you saw ? whitney : well , yeah . what do you mean , is that all ? fox : no , i just -- i just mean that , you know , my father kissing another woman that 's not his wife , it 's not big news . it happens all the time , you know ? it 's no big deal . whitney : well , yeah , i know that your father supposedly , ok , yes , has had a lot of women , but that does n't mean that -- fox : no , no , no , no , supposedly nothing . the whole time he was married to my mother , he was cheating on her . and i ca n't imagine he 'd be any different with rebecca . whitney : that makes what i saw even more terrible . fox : why ? whitney : it just does . julian : hello . whitney , is that sherry you 're drinking ? fox : yeah , that 's exactly what it is . julian : oh . what 's going on , whitney ? you seem upset . pilar : mijo , there 's nothing more you can do for theresa now . why do n't you go back to sheridan 's cottage and make sure she 's all right ? luis : all right . you should go home , too , all right ? get some rest . pilar : yeah . god , it breaks my heart to see theresa in here in jail , and that awful prison suit . she looks so small , so lost . luis : do n't worry . hey , theresa 's a fighter , ok ? now , one way or another we 're going to get her out of here . pilar : from your lips , mijo . i 'm thankful that at least one of my children has found happiness . luis : everyone 's going to be happy , all right ? we 're going to get theresa and get her out of jail and get her son back . miguel and charity and kay -- they 'll work their problems out and -- well , like now that antonio knows the truth about me and sheridan , he can find someone else , and he 'll find someone to love him the way sheridan can't . pilar : yeah . sheridan : give me back my baby ! man : ma'am -- stop , ma'am . sheridan : no ! n : n : do n't fight us . we do n't want to have to restrain you . sheridan : go away ! just give me back my baby ! dr. ackland : ms. andrews , do you think you can get the baby out of here ? ms. andrews : yes , dr . ackland . sheridan : no ! dr. ackland : thank you . sheridan : no ! my baby ! dr. ackland : get her to the ambulance . sheridan : no , no , i wo n't go with you ! leave me alone ! get me out of here ! dr. ackland : we 're trying to help you , sheridan . sheridan : go to hell ! dr. ackland : very well . sheridan : help ! somebody help me ! dr. ackland : you leave me no choice . sheridan : please do n't put me in that thing . get away from me ! man : do n't fight it , ma'am . second man : you 're only going to make it worse . sheridannono ! no ! eñxñ matt armstrong ... liz : relax , t.c . i 'm not asking you to leave your wife . i just wanted to share a sip of champagne to celebrate the new year . t.c . : liz , that is not all you want , and you know it . i want you to understand something about us -- eve and i have a bond together , a bond that ca n't be broken no matter what . liz : nothing lasts forever , t.c . i mean , look at sam and grace . you thought that they would never be apart , as did everyone . but they 're not together now , are they ? t.c . : liz , we 're not sam and grace . and my wife does n't have a son from some man from her past to contend with . eve and i are committed to each other for life . she loves me , and i love her . and no one or nothing is going to come between us , including you , liz . eve : celebrating something , liz ? liz : just ringing in the new year . eve : alone , i see . oh , what 's the matter ? could n't you convince my husband to hook up with you ? liz : it 's only a matter of time , eve . eve : dream on , liz . i heard the whole thing . t.c . turned you down flat . i told you , he would never leave me for you . he loves me , and we 're going to be married forever . fox : listen , i think whitney 's upset because she has n't had anything to eat all day , so , you mind keeping an eye on her while i go get her a sandwich ? julian : of course . whitney : no , fox , don't . it 's ok -- fox : no , no , no , it 's ok . i do n't ndnd . i do n't mind . julian : whitney , you really do n't look well . is it from lack of eating , or perhaps you 're sick ? whitney : oh , yeah , i 'm sick , all right . julian : oh -- what 's the problem , exactly ? whitney : you , mr . crane . you 're the problem . mrs. wallace : bethie , when is enough enough ? have n't you caused sheridan enough pain ? beth : and what about my pain , mother ? hmm ? luis played me like a yo - yo . first , he said he 's finished with sheridan and then he 's with me , and then he dumps me and he goes back to sheridan ? back and forth , back and forth . it drove me crazy ! mrs. wallace : oh , like you were n't a mad hatter before when you hatched this whole plot , huh ? get luis drunk so he 'd think he slept with you , making him think that he got you pregnant , walking around all those months with a sugar sack around your waist , and then keeping sheridan a prisoner down in our basement until that baby was born so you could steal him away from her . god , bethie ! i wish i had the guts to blow the whistle on you . and you know what ? beth : hmm ? mrs. wallace : i ululd give my front teeth to see the expression on luis ' face when he finds out what you have done . beth : shut up . just shut up , mother , or you wo n't have any front teeth ! [ phone rings ] beth : hello . yes , this is beth wallace . you have my baby ? is he ok ? oh ! oh , thank goodness . ok , yes , of course . i 'll be right there . thank you , thank you . mrs. wallace : what about the baby ? is he all right ? is he all right ? beth : he 's at the hospital . he 's fine . mrs. wallace : oh , well , what about sheridan ? where is she ? beth : i do n't know . they did n't say , but with any luck , she 's on her way to the psych ward even as we speak , because if she is , that 'll be perfect . mrs. wallace : oh . yeah . sheridan : no , no ! dr. ackland : sheridan , stop struggling . you know you ca n't win . sheridan : no , please , please , do n't put me in this thing . look , ok , i 'll be calm . i wo n't fight you . just please . do n't put me in the straitjacket . dr. ackland : stop . ok . ok , then just come along quietly and do n't cause any trouble . sheridan : i 'll come quietly . i swear it , dr . ackland . dr. ackland : ok , let her go . now , it 's going to go a lot easier for you now that you 're cooperating . see ? sheridan : yes , yes , i know . and thank you for being so understanding . dr. ackland : sheridan ? sheridan : luis will help me . dr. ackland : sheridan ! open this door , or i 'll break it down ! sheridan : i can call him . damn it ! his voicemail . where are you , luis ? dr. ackland : come on . sheridan : i have to get out of here . i 'll go out the back door and find luis . he 'll help me . [ door closes ] sheridan : no ! stop ! no ! help me ! no ! no ! oh ! help ! dr. ackland : you just ca n't be trusted , can you , sheridan ? i 'll keep that in mind . sheridan : do n't do this to me ! please leave me alone ! ugh ! man : [ grunts of effort ] singer : you are my passion for life julian : i -- i do n't understand what i did to upset you . whitney : oh , you know what you did . do n't try to act all innocent with me . i know exactly what you did . eve : julian , stop . someone might see us . julian : oh . no , whitney , no . eve : now , you see , liz ? all that time you spent working to take my husband away has come to nothing . t.c . loves me . he 's dedicated to me and to our marriage . liz : he could still find out about your past , eve . he could find out about you and julian and your love child . then your marriage would be ruined , over , once and for all . eve : well , how is he going to find out ? because i 'm not going to tell him , and neither is julian . liz : how can you be so sure ? and what about rebecca ? she knows most of it , does n't she ? eve : even so , julian married rebecca to keep my secret safe , and as long as rebecca has the crane money and power , she 'll keep her mouth sh .. no , the only way that t.c . could find out is if you tell him , and i know that you wo n't do that . liz : what 's to stop me ? eve : well , if you tell t.c . , he 's not going to understand why you kept quiet for so long , and he will know that you have been lying to him ever since you met him . and i do n't think he would be very happy about that , liz , do you ? no . you wo n't tell him . you ca n't tell t.c . , so he 'll never find out . t.c . : what will i never find out ? pilar : antonio ? antonio : mama . pilar : hi , mijo . how are you feeling ? antonio : i 've been better . pilar : i know . luis told me . antonio : luis -- trying to pressure my wife into being with him , not me , her husband . pilar : antonio , try not to be angry with your brother . he and sheridan know how much you 're hurting , and they hurt for you . antonio : you know what ? i 'd rather talk about something else , if that 's ok . pilar : ok . i understand . my heart breaks for you , mijo , but i know that you 'll find love again someday . some lucky girl will come along and make you a very happy man . you 'll see . antonio : how 's theresa doing ? you know , with little ethan and all ? pilar : oh , well , you do n't know , that 's right . julian and rebecca took custody of little ethan , and your sister was so upset she snuck into the crane mansion to try to get little ethan back and was caught . antonio : theresa 's in jail ? pilar : yeah . rebecca had her arrested . well , julian sent word that she could go free if she agreed not to fight for custody , but your sister refused his offer . she 'd rather stay in jail and fight for her son . antonio : damn julian . pilar : no , this is rebecca 's doing . she still blames your sister for gwen losing her baby , and she wants revenge . antonio : well , what can we do to help theresa ? pilar : well , your brother is sure that sheridan will lend us the money to help cover theresa 's legal expenses . antonio : so luis is going to ask sheridan to help out ? pilar : yeah . he 's on the way to the cottage right now . i am sure theresa 's the first thing that sheridan and luis will discuss . luis : sheridan ? sheridan ? oh , my god . what the hell happened ? sheridan ! sheridan , where are you ? oh , my god , i hope she 's all right . sheridan : no ! get me out of this thing ! you ca n't do this to me ! dr. ackland : sheridan , you have to calm down , or i will sedate you . sheridan : no . i just want my baby , please ! i want my baby , and i want luis ! luis , help me ! beth : i ca n't believe it . antonio really did it . he had sheridan committed . luis is going to be mine . he 's going to be mine forever . sheridan : help me ! luis ! luis , help me ! n pçowyño julian : i 'm afraid i do n't understand . you 're obviously angry with me , and i 'm not sure why . fox : whitney , here you are . a sandwich for you . have some of that , you 'll feel better , all right ? there you go . and , father , as for why she 's mad at you , i can think of a number of reasons , but at the very top of that very , very long list , it 's probably the way you 're treating theresa . that 's whitney 's best friend , father . you had her thrown in jail , and you took away her child . julian : i did n't have her thrown in jail . she ignored a court order , giving me custody of the boy . she even came into this very house and tried to kidnap him . fox : that 's her son . julian : well , it 's my son -- fox : you took him away from her . julian : he 's my son , too . fox : who cares if he 's your son ? you do n't give a damn about him . you do n't care about any of your children . the only reason you 're going along thth rebecca on this is so she can get her sweet revenge on theresa for gwen 's baby dying . julian : what rebecca and i are doing may seem cruel , but i am not a monster . i 'm trying to help theresa now . fox : yeah , how exactly are you trying to help theresa now ? julian : i offered her a deal -- her release from jail if she promises to give up all claims of custody to little ethan . fox : i do n't know . that sounds a little too humane for you , father . who conned you into that one ? julian : nobody conned me into anything . i thought i would just try to help theresa . fox : yeah , whatever . whitney , you 're not eating anything . whitney : fox , you know , i 'm really not that hungry . fox : i know . well , listen , you got to take care of yourself , right ? come on , just a little bit . can i have a word with you outside , please ? julian : i suppose . fox : thank you . i 'll be back . whitney : ok . julian : you know , i really do n't approve of your being with whitney . fox : mm - hmm , -h - hmm . subtle you are not . but like i told you , i 'm in love with her . julian : i suppose you are . i just hope that you 'll be good to her , you 'll be kind , you 'll be gentle , you know . treat her with respect . her welfare is most important to me . fox : uh - huh . i 'm sure that it is . and i know why . it 's because you 're still in love with her mother . t.c . : so what is it , eve ? what am i not supposed to find out ? eve : it 's just -- it 's just that i have a surprise planned for you , so i do n't want you asking too many questions . [ t.c . laughs ] t.c . : baby , you have a surprise for me ? tell me what it is . eve : no . t.c . : yes . eve : t.c . , you 're worse than the kids . you 're just going to have to wait until the time comes . t.c . : oh , i love you . i love you , dr . russell . eve : oh , i love you , too , t.c . , so much . pilar : i know , antonio , that you and luis and miguel will do everytngng you can to help theresa get her son back . familia , mijo -- that 's the most important thing in anyone 's life . antonio : well , that 's what you 've always tried to teach us . pilar : yes . and you 've all learned it very well . i 'm proud of each one of you , and , you , antonio , you have become such an amazing man . antonio : oh , mama , i do n't know if you 're going to be so proud of me when you find out what i 've done . pilar : what do you mean ? antonio : i did what i thought was right , what i thought was right for sheridan , and i signed the papers and had her committed to the psychiatric ward . pilar : what ? antonio , what on earth drove you to do such a thing ? [ knock on door ] luis : hey , is sheridan here ? mrs. wallace : no . luis : or the baby ? mrs. wallace : no , honey , she 's not , but the hospital called and wanted beth to come down and get little martin . luis : the hospital ? what 's the baby doing there ? mrs. wallace : well , honey , i have n't got a clue about that . i just know th b beth went to pick up your baby . luis : oh , my god . god , something must have happened to sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh -- oh , yeah , luis , something happened to sheridan . that evil monster daughter of mine . that 's what happened . she 's going to ruin sheridan 's life . she 's going to ruin your life , too , luis . yours , sheridan 's , and that sweet little baby . sheridan : no ! let me go ! help me ! help ! no ! help ! please let me go ! let me out of here , please . no ! beth : oh , boy , i 'm good , convincing antonio that it was right to put sheridan away . there she is . ms. andrews : there you are . here 's your baby , ms . wallace . eve : oh , thank you . come here , sweet . oh , baby , there he is . there he is . [ martin fusses ] ms. andrews : did i bring the right child ? is this your boy ? beth : yeah . of course he is . little martin -- he 's just a little fussy , right ? because he 's just hungry -- but i brought his formula . ms. andrews : all right . beth : ok .

[ chuckling ] okay . to be fair , you have n't started smiling yet . hmm . maybe you 're just you -- your own unique , perfect self , and there is nothing wrong with that . yeah . dante : how 's sonny doing ? olivia : he seemed better when we got him home last night . just tired to the point of exhaustion . luckily , he has n't woken up yet . dante : well , good . he can -- he can probably use all the rest he can get . olivia : and i can try to figure out how the hell i 'm gon na tell him about today 's paper . monica : aj ? aj , i 'm sorry . i just got off the red - eye . aj : i 'm all right . i 'm all right . monica : well , your current address says otherwise , and , uh , this paper says that you are pleading not guilty . tell me that that is true , aj tell me that you did not kill connie falconeri . olivia : i mean , what kind of crap is this ? he did n't do it ? lying cowardly son of a bitch . sonny : olivia ? who you talking about ? patrick : i ca n't believe you delivered britt 's baby . sabrina : yeah , truthfully , i ca n't , either . patrick : were you freaking out ? sabrina : there was n't any time to . looking back , it was more of a rush than anything else ... until we realized that the baby was n't getting enough oxygen . patrick : fluid in the lungs ? sabrina : thankfully , i was able to get him back to g.h . in time . patrick : right . and how is he ? is he all right ? sabrina : yeah , he 's good . dr. clay fixed him right up . patrick : and where was brad ? sabrina : actually , brad was here when we arrived at the hospital but not for long . patrick : what do you mean not for long ? what , did he take off ? are you kidding me ? sabrina : nikolas , on the other hand , has n't left britt 's side . britt : i was just having a bad dream . that 's all . nikolas : not surprising , given what you 've been through the past 24 hours . how are you feeling ? britt : i feel good . nikolas : good . britt : i mean , i 'm a little sore , but they told me everything looks fine . nikolas : well , what do you know ? that 's exactly what they said to you . [ chuckles ] you see ? the nightmare 's over . you and your son here are perfectly healthy . britt : i really ca n't thank you enough . nikolas : do n't . britt : no , i - i have to . without you by my side , i - i - i would n't have been able to get through his birth , let alone the scare with his breathing . nikolas : well , i was happy to have been there . okay , fine , i was terrified . but if it helped you , then it was worth it . britt : it helped . it helped . nikolas : good . oh , i 'm sure you are eager to hold this little guy , as he is eager to be held , since you 're the one with the food . britt : no . i do n't want him . [ sighs ] lulu : how 's sonny ? dante : [ inhales deeply ] i do n't know . he was still sleeping . lulu : olivia 's with him ? dante : yeah . hopefully , she makes sure he does n't sink as low as he did last night . lulu : man , i ca n't even picture that . your dad 's , like , this force . he 's so strong . dante : yeah , that 's an image i - i do n't think i 'll ever be able to forget . lulu : you must have been so scared . dante : yeah . scared . sad . angry . i told him not to take the coward 's way out , that he had to stick around for her , 'cause she 's gon na need him . yeah . but you know what ? i think your grandpa 's gon na need you even more , little bambina . so , let 's get you home . when did they say we could spring this little munchkin ? lulu : oh , um , they did n't . we ca n't take her home today . anna : here . maxie : sorry . anna : do n't be sorry . what you got there ? maxie : um , it 's a push present from dante and lulu . anna : oh , yeah ? maxie : even though there was no pushing , they , uh -- they gave it to me last night . anna : for carrying the baby for them ? that 's very sweet . maxie : very . anna : yeah . so , why do n't you open it , huh ? hey , the maxie i know never met a gift that she would n't want to tear into . maxie : i ca n't . anna : why not ? maxie : because then it makes all of this so final ... like i really have to say goodbye to the baby . aj : i wish i could tell you what you want to hear . monica : you killed that woman ? aj : it 's not that simple . monica : yes , it is that simple , aj either you did or you did n't . aj : i do n't know . i - i do n't know what happened that night . monica : what does that mean ? aj : [ sighs ] i was wasted . monica : you drank ? aj : mom , after i lost elq and that stupid article came out -- monica : you lost elq because kiki was n't your niece , and that caused you to drink ? aj : it 's the way that it happened . i mean , connie could have given me a heads up , you know , instead of just detonating my life without any warning . monica : oh , my god . i hope that 's not the excuse you 're using . aj : what do you want me to say ? i 'm sorry . i slipped . i drank until i could n't feel anymore . monica : no , until you blacked out . aj : yes , until -- i do n't remember anything . mom , wait , please . i 'm sorry . monica : not as sorry as i am . i have risked everything for you , aj -- my marriage , my career -- my god , i let your father mourn for you -- to give you a second chance . well , congratulations , my friend . you 've just thrown that away . olivia : that yankees player who 's doping and lying about it . it 's disgusting . how are you feeling ? sonny : like i 'm waking up to nothing . olivia : i know . i miss her , too . um , i squeezed you some orange juice , and i got your pills there on the table . sonny : i 'm not hungry . olivia : that 's too bad . you need to eat . sonny : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] olivia : okay . i made some thick - sliced toast the way you like it , a nice omelet . sonny : i do n't -- i do n't want any . olivia : come on , honey . just a few bites . you 'll feel better . sonny : i do n't want to feel better , olivia . after what i put you through last night , put my boys through ... olivia : sonny . we are fine . we 're just so happy that you found the strength to hang on . [ voice breaking ] okay , when i think about the possibility of losing you , i ... look at me . sonny , we love you . sonny : yeah , i know . olivia : you ca n't forget that . sonny : no , i do n't . olivia : and if you ever feel something like that coming on again -- sonny : i 'm handling it . i 'm handling it . i 'm handling it . olivia : you 're positive ? you 're positive ? sonny : yes , you want to see ? olivia : yeah . sonny : look . [ sighs ] olivia : okay . sonny : see that ? olivia : okay . okay . i 'm glad . i 'm glad that you 're feeling a little better because we got to talk about a couple of things . [ inhales deeply ] sonny : what 's that ? olivia : [ exhales deeply ] we 're kind of getting down to the wire , and i would really like your input . sonny : what ? olivia : connie 's funeral . monica : you picked up that glass , and you drank it . this is yours , aj aj : put yourself in my position . monica : no , i do n't have to . i 've been there . oh , you think it 's just so intolerable that the only solution is the bottom of the bottle . well , that is n't true , aj the answer is in your heart and in your head . aj : i 'm sorry . monica : you drank until you did n't even know whether or not you had killed somebody , because you could n't remember ! aj : okay , i know ! i screwed up . monica : god , it is not okay , aj aj : i 'm not as strong as you are . monica : oh , bull ! did it ever occur to you what 's going to happen to me or your son ? what is michael gon na do now ? michael : i 'm gon na stand by my dad . that 's what i 'm gon na do . dante : what do you mean we ca n't take her home ? i thought you said she got a clean bill of health . lulu : yes , she did . i 'm sorry . um , she 's totally fine . dante : you 're sure ? lulu : yes , she 's fine . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to scare you . dante : then why ca n't we take you home ? lulu : because we have to give her a name . anna : your mom told me that this is hard for you , you know ? maxie : did she also tell you that they 're sending me to a shrink ? [ sighs ] at least it 's kevin . anna : you know , i wish i 'd had someone to talk to . i mean , our situations are completely different , i know , but when robin was a baby , my life was so complicated , and ... i could n't be with her 'cause i would have put her in danger . maxie : so , you had to leave her behind ? anna : yeah . yeah , i did . she was a very happy baby -- robin . and the woman i left her with was wonderful . every time i had to leave , it was unbearable . maxie : [ sighs ] anna : come here . and this baby -- you were carrying a baby for such a long time , and she was part of you . maxie : [ sniffles ] anna : and now she is n't . maxie : [ sniffles ] i miss her -- her flips and her hiccups . anna : of course you do . it 's natural . maxie : but it has to stop . anna : yeah . it does . maxie : lulu was scared of me . anna : oh . maxie : me . anna : right . maxie : not that i blame her . anna : you 're gon na do better . you will , okay ? maxie : how ? i wish that i was more like robin . she was so strong . [ sniffles ] anna : yeah . she was very brave , was n't she ? and driven ... very smart . smart girl . but , you know , all of that could n't stop her from that postpartum depression she had . remember ? maxie : yeah , that was awful . anna : yeah , it was awful . and then it was n't . because she worked hard , and she had a lot of comfort from her family and from friends . she got through it . and you will , too . maxie : what if i do n't ? anna : maxie , i have known you since you were born . you are every bit as strong as robin was . and she would be the first to say that if she were here . you 're not gon na feel like this forever , okay ? i promise you that . sabrina : nikolas held britt 's hand through the entire delivery , and considering how scary it was for me , i ca n't even imagine what it was like for him . patrick : oh , good . well , i 'm glad he was there . sabrina : yeah , me too . he kept britt from strangling me . who knows ? maybe he 'll even stick around . patrick : what does that mean ? sabrina : well , nikolas and britt seemed pretty close , and i 'm sure after last night , they 're a lot closer . maybe he 'll end up raising that little boy -- with britt , i mean . patrick : like i was supposed to . [ sighs ] sabrina : patrick . patrick : no , i know . i know . it should n't feel wrong . sabrina : but it does . you spent months thinking about that baby , learning to love it . i understand that you ca n't just shut that off . patrick : but ? sabrina : i think you need to start moving past this . nikolas : yeah , the nurse said you might be ... anxious getting started with the , uh -- britt : the breast - feeding . nikolas : right . right . [ chuckles ] but there 's people here to help you with that , right ? uh ... lactating consultants ? britt : i - i wo n't be needing any -- any of them . nikolas : right , of course . you 're around this all the time . you know the drill . britt : no , i wo n't be needing them because i do n't plan on breast - feeding . nikolas : oh , okay . i guess that 's fine , too . look , i do n't -- i do n't even know why i 'm -- i 'm talking about this . i mean , i could fit what i know about the subject inside of a thimble . [ chuckles ] britt : oh , i know -- i know plenty , and breast - feeding is what every doctor would recommend . nutritionally , you ca n't beat it . [ baby fusses ] britt : you ca n't beat it for ... mother / child bonding , either . nikolas : right , well , just out of -- out of curiosity , given all of that , why would n't you want to bond with your son ? that idea of having another child . i wanted another child in my life . sabrina : it 's our life , patrick -- yours and mine . i had to accept it , too , and to say that it was hard is an understatement . but i did it because that 's how much i love you . [ chuckles ] we 'd been together for , what , like , a whole five minutes when britt dropped her bomb ? we never got to just be a normal cole , two people falling in love , and now we can , patrick . now we can just , like , focus on us -- you , me , and emma . no drama , no craziness . just us . i mean , does n't that sound nice ? patrick : yeah , it does . sabrina : yes , i know that you lost a potential son , and i 'm not gon na minimize that . but you have this amazing daughter at home . you have an incredible life . maybe instead of concentrating on what was never yours , you could be thankful for what is . 'cause a lot of people are n't nearly as lucky . patrick : sabrina . sabrina : i have to get back to work , but , um , i 'll be around if you need me . lulu : maybe we should have taken maxie 's advice . we should have named her georgie . dante : yeah , 'cause that really , really would have helped with the detachment process . lulu : oh , uh , i did n't tell you . dante : what ? lulu : i had a really good conversation with maxie last night . dante : yeah ? lulu : yeah , she was calm , lucid . she 's seeing dr. collins to help her with her issues . dante : oh , good . that 's great . lulu : yeah , it 's really good . it 's -- it 's so good that i gave her the present we bought her . maxie : thank you for having so much faith in me . anna : i have all the faith in the world in you . i do . that 's what godmothers are for . hmm ? unfortunately , this one has got to get back to work . maxie : the connie case ? anna : yeah , among others . i was hoping that i was gon na see patrick , maybe , while i was here , because i think he 's having as hard a time as you are letting go . maxie : letting go of what ? anna : you probably do n't know , do you ? maxie : i 've been a little busy . anna : yeah . britt westbourne had her baby , and , as most of us suspected , patrick 's not the father . maxie : britt had her baby ? anna : yeah . last night , after confessing that she 'd been lying to patrick for months . so , i would imagine that it 's as difficult , almost , for him to look at that child as it is for you to look at dante and lulu 's . maxie : i 'm confused , though . um , there was a paternity test , so how did patrick find out he was n't the father ? anna : britt told him . maxie : why ? anna : i do n't know the details , but i would imagine that , since she 's a mother now herself , that perhaps she wants to be a better person . i 'm gon na take off , okay ? you look after yourself , all right ? maxie : i will . anna : okay . maxie : thank you , anna . anna : i know . britt : i 'm going to be a terrible mother , just like mine was to me . nikolas : no , you 're not . do n't say that . we 're not destined to make our parents ' mistakes . if we were , i 'd be a kidnapper / murderer 10 times over . the stories that i could tell you about my father -- make your blood run cold , would n't it ? in his case , freeze all together , but that 's ... britt : what ? nikolas : nothing . never mind . the point is that i 'm nothing like him -- not as a man , not as a father . i 'm good to my son . trust me , you 'll be good to yours . britt : i ca n't . i - i just -- i - i - i ca n't . please . nikolas : okay . all right , i 'll , uh -- i 'll take him back to the nursery for now . britt : thank you . nikolas : and , britt ? you 're not your mother , okay ? can you remember that ? do n't you worry , little guy . your mommy loves you . she 'll come around , okay ? britt : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] britt : [ sighs ] what do you want ? maxie : your silence . monica : i really can not stay here and watch him behind bars . i 'm sorry . michael : monica . aj : it 's all right . let her go . [ door buzzes ] michael : [ sighs ] well , that was rough . aj : i deserved it . michael : how you holding up ? aj : i 've been better . michael : we got to get you out of here , find some way around these charges . aj : yeah , i need to talk to you about that . michael : you 're not gon na change your plea to guilty , are you ? aj : no , diane 's been working on a strategy for my defense . michael : yeah , there should be some sort of a loophole , considering you do n't even remember what -- aj : there 's no loopholes , michael . michael : okay , so , what 's the plan ? aj : diane intends on pinning connie 's murder on somebody else . on sonny . sonny : [ exhales deeply ] mr. corinthos , we need a statement ! mr. corinthos , can you comment on aj quartermaine 's plea of not guilty in your girlfriend 's murder ? [ camera shutters clicking ] patrick : hey . nikolas : hi patrick : is that britt 's son ? nikolas : it is . patrick : how 's he doing ? nikolas : uh , he 's fine . he had a little scare right after he was born , but the doctors say he 's perfectly healthy now . patrick : that 's good . nikolas : yeah . patrick : he does n't look anything like brad . nikolas : [ chuckles ] he does n't look anything like britt . then again , to me , all babies look like yoda . look , if you 're still believing that this might be your son -- patrick : i 'm not . i even had a new paternity test done . i know he 's not mine . just getting used to it now . nikolas : yeah . britt : am i supposed to know what that means ? maxie : you told patrick he 's not the father of that baby . britt : so ? maxie : so , i ca n't believe you did that to him . britt : i 'd watch where you throw those stones , maxie . at least i came clean . you 're the one still keeping spinelli in the dark . maxie : not anymore . britt : he knows the baby you were carrying is his ? maxie : yes . but dante and lulu do n't , and we want to keep it that way . britt : so , both of you are willing to give up your daughter ? maxie : look , we do n't feel like we have a choice . telling the truth now would just kill dante and lulu , and i ca n't do that . ellie trout has already promised to keep our secret , so that means the only person left who knows the truth is you . britt : and you think i 'd out you ? maxie : it 's not like you have n't threatened to before . and since you 've suddenly gone honest , i do n't know . all bets are off . so , what do you say ? can i trust you not to break dante and lulu 's hearts ? lulu : connie used to say that pressure was good for creativity . dante : operation pick a baby name -- go . anna : how about anna ? dante : hey . hey , that would actually work , because i 'm gon na be taking orders from her , too . anna : yes , you are . congratulations . dante : thank you . anna : you know i was kidding about the name . because you might want to find something with a bit more significant . lulu : yeah , do you have any idea what that would be ? anna : no . i have nothing . and this is a gift for the baby . i would have had it monogrammed , but ... dante : ah , yeah , yeah . very funny . rub it in . yes . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : well , baby girl , this is anna devane ... anna : aww . dante : ... best boss to have and a pretty good friend , too . anna : she 's gorgeous . look at those cheeks . oh , this time is so precious . enjoy every moment . lulu : we will . anna : [ chuckles ] lulu : come here , baby girl . let 's go open up the present . what do you think ? dante : [ sighs ] anna : dante , it 's gon na be so hard for you to tear yourself away from her . dante : i know . i know . it is , especially now that aj 's decided to plead not guilty . anna : he can claim he 's innocent , but the evidence tells another story . michael : are you serious ? diane 's gon na try and pin connie 's murder on my dad ? aj : she made some good points . michael : like what ? ! aj : that sonny was furious with connie . i mean , she told me that herself , michael . come on . sonny was in the office right after she was shot . hell , he -- he called it in . michael : she was his girlfriend . aj : oh , then why did he leave the crime scene ? michael : because he 's looking for you ! aj : exactly , to try and kill me . and he would have succeeded , too , if you had n't have stopped him . i mean , let 's face it -- sonny does have quite a propensity for violence . michael : yeah , when he 's protecting the people that he loves ! aj : okay , okay . the point is this -- he despises me , and diane thinks that she can -- she can sell the idea that sonny killed connie , and he wrote my initials in her blood to try and frame me . michael : you do n't actually believe that , do you ? aj : it does n't matter -- michael : it matters to me . aj : look , this is n't about arresting sonny or anything . it 's just about building a reasonable doubt . michael : yeah , at my father 's expense . aj : well , guess what . you know what ? sonny 's a big boy . he can handle it . michael : [ scoffs ] you have no idea what he 's going through . aj : michael , i 'm sure sonny 's been suffering . michael : `` suffering `` ? okay . he almost killed himself last night . sonny : what 'd you say ? mr. quartermaine 's lawyer claims he 's innocent , despite the damning evidence . sonny : and by `` damning , `` do you mean the victim writing aj 's name in her own blood ? [ camera shutters clicking ] if it even was the victim . ms. miller 's accusing you . she says that you killed ms . falconeri , then wrote the initials to frame mr. quartermaine . did you do it ? you and connie had been arguing , correct ? reporter : did you really kill the woman you claimed to love ?

[ grunts ] okay , you . lulu : i think i know what we should name her . dante : yeah , i think i do , too . britt : i wo n't tell dante and lulu the truth . maxie : how do i know i can trust you ? britt : because i 'm in no position to judge or rat you out -- not after what i did to patrick . maxie : anna devane thought impending motherhood might make you want to be a better person . britt : maybe . but that 's not why i told patrick the truth . he threatened to take my baby away from me . maxie : patrick wanted sole custody ? britt : and until that moment -- until i thought i actually might lose my son , i had n't realized i 'd grown to love him . maxie : it 's funny how that happens , huh ? where is your baby , anyway ? do n't you want him in here with you ? nikolas : believing that you 're a father , planning for that , and then finding out that it does n't exist -- i really am sorry . i - i do know how that feels -- patrick : it 's not good . nikolas : no . [ chuckles ] i was gon na say `` devastating , `` but , no , it 's -- you 're right . patrick : how did you deal when you found out that you were losing aiden ? nikolas : i just tried to concentrate on what was good in my life , spencer being at the top of that list . elizabeth and i left things in a way that actually ... made it worse , but somehow , i found a way to appreciate what i still had , rather than missing what was -- was n't mine to begin with , you know ? i 'll see you . britt : i sent him back to the nursery . maxie : why ? do n't you want him in here with you all the time ? i mean , i know i would . britt : do you ever think about what would have happened if you had -- if i , for that matter , would have told dante and lulu the truth from the start ? maxie : only about every five seconds , but it 's too late for that now , so it does n't matter anymore . britt : i 'm sorry , maxie . i really am . i guess we both know what it 's like to lose someone . maxie : britt , we are not in the same boat -- not even close . sure , you 're not with patrick anymore , but you still have your baby . you get to take him home and laugh with him , be with him every day . i gave my child away . britt : how ? maxie : because , as hard as it was for me -- and trust me , it was the most difficult thing i 've ever done in my life -- it would be worse for dante and lulu . they love that little girl so much . what would happen to them if they lost her ? sabrina : that 's a perfect name for your daughter . dante : thanks . so , we 're good to go out into the world ? sabrina : yeah . you 're free . enjoy . dante : thank you . lulu : oh , we definitely will . this is happening . we 're a family . dante : yeah , you better believe it . lulu : okay , falconeri clan , are we ready ? dante : are you kidding me ? us ? we were -- we were born ready . lulu : [ groans ] dante : what ? lulu : do n't you think it 's a little early to start laying on those cheesy lines ? dante : look at her . she loves it . i mean , she 's sleeping , so she does n't really know -- lulu : you should ask her again when she 's 13 . dante : i will . i 'll ask her when she wakes up , and i 'll ask her when she 's 13 . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : you love it .

[ sighs ] at least it 's kevin . anna : you know , i wish i 'd had someone to talk to . i mean , our situations are completely different , i know , but when robin was a baby , my life was so complicated , and ... i could n't be with her 'cause i would have put her in danger . maxie : so , you had to leave her behind ? anna : yeah . yeah , i did . she was a very happy baby -- robin . and the woman i left her with was wonderful . every time i had to leave , it was unbearable . maxie : [ sighs ] anna : come here . and this baby -- you were carrying a baby for such a long time , and she was part of you . maxie : [ sniffles ] anna : and now she is n't . maxie : [ sniffles ] i miss her -- her flips and her hiccups . anna : of course you do . it 's natural . maxie : but it has to stop . anna : yeah . it does . maxie : lulu was scared of me . anna : oh . maxie : me . anna : right . maxie : not that i blame her . anna : you 're gon na do better . you will , okay ? maxie : how ? i wish that i was more like robin . she was so strong . [ sniffles ] anna : yeah . she was very brave , was n't she ? and driven ... very smart . smart girl . but , you know , all of that could n't stop her from that postpartum depression she had . remember ? maxie : yeah , that was awful . anna : yeah , it was awful . and then it was n't . because she worked hard , and she had a lot of comfort from her family and from friends . she got through it . and you will , too . maxie : what if i do n't ? anna : maxie , i have known you since you were born . you are every bit as strong as robin was . and she would be the first to say that if she were here . you 're not gon na feel like this forever , okay ? i promise you that . sabrina : nikolas held britt 's hand through the entire delivery , and considering how scary it was for me , i ca n't even imagine what it was like for him . patrick : oh , good . well , i 'm glad he was there . sabrina : yeah , me too . he kept britt from strangling me . who knows ? maybe he 'll even stick around . patrick : what does that mean ? sabrina : well , nikolas and britt seemed pretty close , and i 'm sure after last night , they 're a lot closer . maybe he 'll end up raising that little boy -- with britt , i mean . patrick : like i was supposed to . [ sighs ] sabrina : patrick . patrick : no , i know . i know . it should n't feel wrong . sabrina : but it does . you spent months thinking about that baby , learning to love it . i understand that you ca n't just shut that off . patrick : but ? sabrina : i think you need to start moving past this . nikolas : yeah , the nurse said you might be ... anxious getting started with the , uh -- britt : the breast - feeding . nikolas : right . right . [ chuckles ] but there 's people here to help you with that , right ? uh ... lactating consultants ? britt : i - i wo n't be needing any -- any of them . nikolas : right , of course . you 're around this all the time . you know the drill . britt : no , i wo n't be needing them because i do n't plan on breast - feeding . nikolas : oh , okay . i guess that 's fine , too . look , i do n't -- i do n't even know why i 'm -- i 'm talking about this . i mean , i could fit what i know about the subject inside of a thimble . [ chuckles ] britt : oh , i know -- i know plenty , and breast - feeding is what every doctor would recommend . nutritionally , you ca n't beat it . [ baby fusses ] britt : you ca n't beat it for ... mother / child bonding , either . nikolas : right , well , just out of -- out of curiosity , given all of that , why would n't you want to bond with your son ? that idea of having another child . i wanted another child in my life . sabrina : it 's our life , patrick -- yours and mine . i had to accept it , too , and to say that it was hard is an understatement . but i did it because that 's how much i love you . [ chuckles ] we 'd been together for , what , like , a whole five minutes when britt dropped her bomb ? we never got to just be a normal cole , two people falling in love , and now we can , patrick . now we can just , like , focus on us -- you , me , and emma . no drama , no craziness . just us . i mean , does n't that sound nice ? patrick : yeah , it does . sabrina : yes , i know that you lost a potential son , and i 'm not gon na minimize that . but you have this amazing daughter at home . you have an incredible life . maybe instead of concentrating on what was never yours , you could be thankful for what is . 'cause a lot of people are n't nearly as lucky . patrick : sabrina . sabrina : i have to get back to work , but , um , i 'll be around if you need me . lulu : maybe we should have taken maxie 's advice . we should have named her georgie . dante : yeah , 'cause that really , really would have helped with the detachment process . lulu : oh , uh , i did n't tell you . dante : what ? lulu : i had a really good conversation with maxie last night . dante : yeah ? lulu : yeah , she was calm , lucid . she 's seeing dr. collins to help her with her issues . dante : oh , good . that 's great . lulu : yeah , it 's really good . it 's -- it 's so good that i gave her the present we bought her . maxie : thank you for having so much faith in me . anna : i have all the faith in the world in you . i do . that 's what godmothers are for . hmm ? unfortunately , this one has got to get back to work . maxie : the connie case ? anna : yeah , among others . i was hoping that i was gon na see patrick , maybe , while i was here , because i think he 's having as hard a time as you are letting go . maxie : letting go of what ? anna : you probably do n't know , do you ? maxie : i 've been a little busy . anna : yeah . britt westbourne had her baby , and , as most of us suspected , patrick 's not the father . maxie : britt had her baby ? anna : yeah . last night , after confessing that she 'd been lying to patrick for months . so , i would imagine that it 's as difficult , almost , for him to look at that child as it is for you to look at dante and lulu 's . maxie : i 'm confused , though . um , there was a paternity test , so how did patrick find out he was n't the father ? anna : britt told him . maxie : why ? anna : i do n't know the details , but i would imagine that , since she 's a mother now herself , that perhaps she wants to be a better person . i 'm gon na take off , okay ? you look after yourself , all right ? maxie : i will . anna : okay . maxie : thank you , anna . anna : i know . britt : i 'm going to be a terrible mother , just like mine was to me . nikolas : no , you 're not . do n't say that . we 're not destined to make our parents ' mistakes . if we were , i 'd be a kidnapper / murderer 10 times over . the stories that i could tell you about my father -- make your blood run cold , would n't it ? in his case , freeze all together , but that 's ... britt : what ? nikolas : nothing . never mind . the point is that i 'm nothing like him -- not as a man , not as a father . i 'm good to my son . trust me , you 'll be good to yours . britt : i ca n't . i - i just -- i - i - i ca n't . please . nikolas : okay . all right , i 'll , uh -- i 'll take him back to the nursery for now . britt : thank you . nikolas : and , britt ? you 're not your mother , okay ? can you remember that ? do n't you worry , little guy . your mommy loves you . she 'll come around , okay ? britt : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] britt : [ sighs ] what do you want ? maxie : your silence . monica : i really can not stay here and watch him behind bars . i 'm sorry . michael : monica . aj : it 's all right . let her go . [ door buzzes ] michael : [ sighs ] well , that was rough . aj : i deserved it . michael : how you holding up ? aj : i 've been better . michael : we got to get you out of here , find some way around these charges . aj : yeah , i need to talk to you about that . michael : you 're not gon na change your plea to guilty , are you ? aj : no , diane 's been working on a strategy for my defense . michael : yeah , there should be some sort of a loophole , considering you do n't even remember what -- aj : there 's no loopholes , michael . michael : okay , so , what 's the plan ? aj : diane intends on pinning connie 's murder on somebody else . on sonny . sonny : [ exhales deeply ] mr. corinthos , we need a statement ! mr. corinthos , can you comment on aj quartermaine 's plea of not guilty in your girlfriend 's murder ? [ camera shutters clicking ] patrick : hey . nikolas : hi patrick : is that britt 's son ? nikolas : it is . patrick : how 's he doing ? nikolas : uh , he 's fine . he had a little scare right after he was born , but the doctors say he 's perfectly healthy now . patrick : that 's good . nikolas : yeah . patrick : he does n't look anything like brad . nikolas : [ chuckles ] he does n't look anything like britt . then again , to me , all babies look like yoda . look , if you 're still believing that this might be your son -- patrick : i 'm not . i even had a new paternity test done . i know he 's not mine . just getting used to it now . nikolas : yeah . britt : am i supposed to know what that means ? maxie : you told patrick he 's not the father of that baby . britt : so ? maxie : so , i ca n't believe you did that to him . britt : i 'd watch where you throw those stones , maxie . at least i came clean . you 're the one still keeping spinelli in the dark . maxie : not anymore . britt : he knows the baby you were carrying is his ? maxie : yes . but dante and lulu do n't , and we want to keep it that way . britt : so , both of you are willing to give up your daughter ? maxie : look , we do n't feel like we have a choice . telling the truth now would just kill dante and lulu , and i ca n't do that . ellie trout has already promised to keep our secret , so that means the only person left who knows the truth is you . britt : and you think i 'd out you ? maxie : it 's not like you have n't threatened to before . and since you 've suddenly gone honest , i do n't know . all bets are off . so , what do you say ? can i trust you not to break dante and lulu 's hearts ? lulu : connie used to say that pressure was good for creativity . dante : operation pick a baby name -- go . anna : how about anna ? dante : hey . hey , that would actually work , because i 'm gon na be taking orders from her , too . anna : yes , you are . congratulations . dante : thank you . anna : you know i was kidding about the name . because you might want to find something with a bit more significant . lulu : yeah , do you have any idea what that would be ? anna : no . i have nothing . and this is a gift for the baby . i would have had it monogrammed , but ... dante : ah , yeah , yeah . very funny . rub it in . yes . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : well , baby girl , this is anna devane ... anna : aww . dante : ... best boss to have and a pretty good friend , too . anna : she 's gorgeous . look at those cheeks . oh , this time is so precious . enjoy every moment . lulu : we will . anna : [ chuckles ] lulu : come here , baby girl . let 's go open up the present . what do you think ? dante : [ sighs ] anna : dante , it 's gon na be so hard for you to tear yourself away from her . dante : i know . i know . it is , especially now that aj 's decided to plead not guilty . anna : he can claim he 's innocent , but the evidence tells another story . michael : are you serious ? diane 's gon na try and pin connie 's murder on my dad ? aj : she made some good points . michael : like what ? ! aj : that sonny was furious with connie . i mean , she told me that herself , michael . come on . sonny was in the office right after she was shot . hell , he -- he called it in . michael : she was his girlfriend . aj : oh , then why did he leave the crime scene ? michael : because he 's looking for you ! aj : exactly , to try and kill me . and he would have succeeded , too , if you had n't have stopped him . i mean , let 's face it -- sonny does have quite a propensity for violence . michael : yeah , when he 's protecting the people that he loves ! aj : okay , okay . the point is this -- he despises me , and diane thinks that she can -- she can sell the idea that sonny killed connie , and he wrote my initials in her blood to try and frame me . michael : you do n't actually believe that , do you ? aj : it does n't matter -- michael : it matters to me . aj : look , this is n't about arresting sonny or anything . it 's just about building a reasonable doubt . michael : yeah , at my father 's expense . aj : well , guess what . you know what ? sonny 's a big boy . he can handle it . michael : [ scoffs ] you have no idea what he 's going through . aj : michael , i 'm sure sonny 's been suffering . michael : `` suffering `` ? okay . he almost killed himself last night . sonny : what 'd you say ? mr. quartermaine 's lawyer claims he 's innocent , despite the damning evidence . sonny : and by `` damning , `` do you mean the victim writing aj 's name in her own blood ?

ej : no , you do n't get to tell me that i am making a mistake , all right ? listen , i know the law just as well as you do . and this is what i want . so just do me a favor and make it happen . all right ? thank you . [ sighs ] abigail : have you heard the news ? jennifer : about stefano and ej ? yes , i did . abigail : it 's really bad , is n't it ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , it 's bad . i 'm not really sure if i can spin this positive for you . abigail : what 's chad supposed to make of this ? i mean , what 's -- what 's going to happen to him ? rafe : good news . just checked the status of allie 's ' flight , and she 's coming home on time . sami : wait . oh , i missed her so much . i can not wait to put my hands on that girl . rafe : yeah . i kind of got that when i saw the menagerie of new stuffed animals in her bedroom and the six bags of groceries full of her favorite foods . sami : are you suggesting that i went overboard ? rafe : you are allowed . totally . sami : uh , yeah . i better be . do you think that johnny and sydney will want to come with us to the airport ? rafe : i do n't know . if they do n't , i 'll stay here with them . sami : or we could just drop them off at grandma 's , and then you could come . rafe : yes , but if i stay here , you can go see allie alone and talk to her , since she is going to be seeing me for the first time . sami : oh , god . i just do n't know what to say to her . i mean , how do i explain ?

hope : oh , my god . seriously , i just -- you know , i think pretending to be rafe kind of kept a lid on his essential scumminess . the gloves are off now . bo : so you were n't able to make a deal ? hope : [ sighs ] well , he does n't trust the bradys any more than he does the dimeras . he said he 'd rather take his chances in prison . bo : aw , hell . hope : you know , he 's just -- he 's a pig . he -- the last thing he -- never mind . bo : what ? hope : i just -- bo : hey . what ? hope . hope : he said , `` give that pretty little girl of yours a big , wet kiss from uncle rafe . `` wait , bo . no , no , no . stop , stop . stop . you ca n't let him see you like this . it just gets him going . and he 'll enjoy it . take a deep breath . breathe . okay . bo : [ exhales deeply ] all right , all right . there is another way to prove that he 's connected to the dimeras . ej : [ sighs ] what do you want ? chad : [ sighs ] the truth ? what did you and stefano do to rafe hernandez ? rafe : hon , i do n't think that feeling guilty is going to be a whole lot of help to allie . sami : i know that . but she 's going to be looking to me for answers . i 'm her mother . i should have answers . rafe : well ... sami : but i do n't . i mean , why did n't i listen to her when she told me that rafe was mean to her ? i should have done something . rafe : like what ? sami : anything . anything would have been better than telling her to be patient with `` rafe `` because he was n't acting like himself . oh , my god . i ca n't believe i said that . rafe : sami , it was like the second or third time that she said that he was mean to her , you got her out of here . sami : i should have kicked his ass out . rafe : sami , listen to me . you never stopped thinking that something was wrong with the guy . you never stopped trying to get to the bottom of it . sami : i should have known . rafe : all right -- sami : rafe , i should have known . rafe : sami , please . we talked about this , did n't we ? right ? you said you were n't going to beat yourself up about this . listen , i 'm a trained fbi agent , and under those circumstances -- i mean , come on . sami : oh , come on . i have grown up with the dimeras . i know what they are capable of . rafe : your little girl is coming home . that 's what 's important , okay ? focus on that . otherwise , the dimeras , they win . okay ? hope : you saw the double staring at a mug shot on rafe 's computer ? mccarthy : right . bo : one of our roadblocks is that we have no idea who this guy is . i mean , it 's -- it 's like stefano erased him from the database when he hired him . hope : well , he probably did . bo : so if this guy is a friend , any kind of connection , it could be a start . mccarthy : yeah , luckily , i got a good look at the mug shot . i just have to find it again . hope : does the double know you saw it ? mccarthy : yeah , i told him i thought the guy looked like a sicko . and he got all offended . hope : i won ... what .. bo : what ? hope : what if -- what if the guy in the mug shot is n't a friend ? what if it 's the double with his real face and his real name ? bo : and he was checking the database to see if he was still there . hope : exactly . it makes sense . bo : mccarthy , find that picture . mccarthy : i 'm going as fast as i can , boss . it 's just going to take me a while to track down everything he looked up . hope : listen , i could go back in . tell him we 're on to his true identity . maybe that 'll -- bo : no , no , no . let him sit there in his own stink . stare at the walls . i want him to think we 've given up on him . hope : yeah , well , what are we going to do ? stand around here and hope we get lucky ? bo : no , there 's another way to go about this . hope : i was hoping you 'd say that . bo : tell you about it in the car . hope : let 's go . bo : hang in there . hope : we 'll be back . lexie : ooh , that was rough . daniel : ugh . maxine : how 's mr. clark doing ? daniel : well , we got it all . he 's in recovery . maxine : already ? daniel : yeah , our friend lexie here had the idea that the tumor was bigger than it looked in the scan , and , uh ... she was right . lexie : well , i 'm just happy for the patient . maxine : well , i 'll bet you his wife and three little kids are happy too . you two are the best . daniel : thank you . lexie : whew . i am so glad that things turned out well . i mean , i was ... i was afraid i would n't be myself in there . daniel : yeah , i saw the paper this morning . lexie : yeah . most everyone did . daniel : well , i did n't know what to say . lexie : oh , you mean there 's nothing in the card store that says , `` thinking of you after your father created an exact double of his grandchildren 's stepfather `` ? daniel : well , you know , in this town , they could make money on a card like that . lexie : [ laughs ] you know what , you 're right . daniel : just saying . lexie : goodness . well , i guess all that talk about rafe not being himself was accurate . daniel : yeah , i know . you know , sami brought rafe in here a couple of weeks after the accident , and the mri scan showed that he did n't have an accident . guess we know why . lexie : mm . one thing you can say about my father and brother . they 're creative . daniel : [ chuckles ] yeah , how is it that you decided to use your superpowers for good ? lexie : oh , i flirted with the dark side . did n't turn out well . daniel : let me , uh ... let me buy you a coffee . lexie : yeah . yeah , thanks . daniel , you know ... when i think of what sami and those children went through , i could -- i could strangle my father . daniel : yeah , it ca n't be too easy for you , either . lexie : ugh . no , i 'm -- yeah . it 's not just me . i mean , the media -- sugar , please . thank you . is all over abe . because he 's married to a dimera . daniel : mm - hmm . lexie : i just -- i just wish i could convince abe that we should take a leave of absence . get out of this town . take theo away . daniel : you could do that , but would n't that be running away ? abigail : i saw chad at the hospital when ej was a patient . and he told me that stefano already has made him feel more a part of a family than he ever felt with his mother and the guy that he thought was his father . jennifer : i know . he grew up believing the d.a . was his father , right ? and now the d.a . could be prosecuting his real father . that 's crazy . abigail : what 's this going to do to him , mom ? jennifer : well , stefano and ej , they have n't been charged yet . abigail : well , the news said that they kidnapped sami 's husband . and they passed off that other guy as him . jennifer : right , but nothing 's been proven . abigail : as far as we know . and they have that other guy in jail . jennifer : all right . well , you know what i - i see from this ? i see two really good things . abigail : really ? 'cause i do n't see any . jennifer : well , listen , chad was n't involved in any way . right ? and now , he 's going to have to see what the dimera family really is . abigail : hmm . chad said that stefano 's starting to rely on him . jennifer : whatever that means . abigail : if stefano and ej go to prison , then ... does that mean that chad becomes the head of their family ? jennifer : well , you know what , that could be his worst nightmare . and yours too , honey . ej : you want me to confide in you , is that right ? man to man . chad : i want to know what to say when the phone rings and it 's a reporter . ej : you tell them to shut the hell up , and then you hang up the phone . chad : oh . so you did it . you kidnapped rafe ? and you put that other dude in his place ? ej : let 's just say that i 've been advised by my attorney not to say anything . chad : oh , you know what ? that 's -- that 's cool . because you know what ? i have a feeling that anything you tell me is just gon na be a bunch of bull . [ knock at door ] sami : oh . it 's , uh , aunt hope and uncle bo . hey . both : hi . sami : what 's up ? is there some news ? bo : uh ... we need your help . lexie : no . i do n't see trying to shield my son from his grandfather 's criminal activities as running away . daniel : okay . i 'll shut my mouth off . bad habit . sorry . lexie : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . no , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . daniel : no , no , no . lexie : oh , god . i ... i just want to go away , and stay away until this is all over . daniel : all right , you know what bothers me is that it 's you , abe , and theo should n't be the ones to have to leave town . lexie : yeah , i know . i know . [ sighs ] even if we do , i mean , this will never be over . daniel : you seem pretty sure they 're guilty . lexie : come on , daniel . you know what they 're capable of . [ sighs ] but theo does n't . you know , my baby does n't . he does n't . and because he 's so young , and because he 's on the spectrum , i ... i do n't know how to tell him why i want to take him away from his uncle and his grandfather . you know , i mean , to him , i 'd be the bad guy . jennifer : here 's what i think about this situation . do n't borrow trouble . abigail : who has to borrow it ? there 's plenty to go around . jennifer : have you even talked to chad yet ? abigail : no , and that bothers me , too . jennifer : yeah , he 's got a lot to think about . abigail : i know , i know . jennifer : well , listen , you -- you were really careful with him , you know , from the very beginning . and now you trust him , right ? abigail : yeah , but he had me convinced that the dimeras had somehow cleaned up their act . now i know they were just going underground . jennifer : all right , but it does n't change the fact that you are a smart cookie , and you think chad 's a good guy . so a good guy is going to keep his distance from a bad family . abigail : yeah , well , try . who knows if he 'll actually be able to ? jennifer : my money 's on chad . abigail : yeah , well , your money was also on dad , and look how that ended up . jennifer : abigail , i want you to stop talking about your father like that , okay ? ej : why would i lie to you ? i mean , you 're a part of the clan . right ? you having second thoughts ? chad : this is n't about me . ej : oh , come on , chad . come on , be a little bit creative , hmm ? i mean , think about it . think outside the box for a second . you could , uh -- you could be the good son . you can be the -- the michael corleone , hmm ? you can have evolved . chad : so you 're just going to jerk me around instead of leveling with me ? what , afraid i 'm going to call the cops ? ej : try and get this through that thick little head of yours , chad . i do n't really give a damn what happens to me . rafe : you 're kidding me . he turned down witness protection 'cause he does n't want to rat on the dimeras ? sami : he 'd rather go to prison for murder ? bo : yeah , and he wo n't last inside . hope : yeah , if his big mouth does n't get him killed , then -- sami : stefano probably will , right ? hope : absolutely . rafe : right . so you said you needed help ? bo : yeah , we 're trying to figure out who the double was before stefano turned him into you . rafe : hmm . got any leads ? hope : well , he was looking at , uh , mug shots on your computer . we 're thinking maybe he was looking at his old self . bo : if we could figure out who he was , you know , it could give us some leverage . sami : of course . so what can we do ? bo : actually , it 's you , sami . you 're the one who spent the most time with him , and i 'd like you to think about that time and see if you can come up with anything that could help us . rafe : bo , you know , allie 's ' coming home today . bo : yeah , good . good . rafe : yeah , yeah , it is good . and , um , i was just talking with sami , and i think the best way for us to move on is just to focus on being a family right now . just try and put some of this stuff behind us . hope : sami , we know how much you 've been through . rafe : i do n't see how . sami : it 's okay , rafe , actually . i want to help . i want to do whatever i have to to nail those bastards . chad : you could go to prison . ej : chad . i 've already lost ... everything that matters to me . i lost my father 's respect . i lost the woman that i love , and i 've lost my children . most of all , i lost my children . so in answer to your question , yes . i ... arranged for rafe to be kidnapped . and i was involved in the impostor taking his place . i did it because i wanted to end samantha 's marriage to rafe , and i did not want him to become a father to my children . i had means , i had motive , and i had opportunity . so here . brother . you go ahead . you call the police . you tell them what i just told you . chad : look , ej . i do n't think i should be the one to do that . ej : do it ! rafe : i just do n't want sami to have to relive that nightmare . there 's got ta be another way . sami : no , you know what ? this is gon na be different . rafe : well , how ? sami : because . because i 'm in charge . i get to help . i get to help everybody nail them for what they did to me . and then i wo n't feel like such a victim . bo : we 're not just relying on sami . she 's our backup in case this mug shot thing does n't pan out . sami : look , i am happy to be your plan `` b , `` okay ? hope : no one knows ej and stefano like you do . if you could just help us prove there was a conspiracy between them and the double , then that means anything he did , they also did . sami : so if he murdered fay -- hope : in the eyes of the law , they murdered fay . sami : okay , what do you need ? bo : so think about the interactions between the double and the dimeras . anything that can prove their connection . hope : anything . anything you remember , no matter how small or inconsequential it seemed at the time . it could be the nail in their coffin . abigail : so dad 's a good guy now ? is n't that , like , revisionist history ? jennifer : now , sweetie , i know that sounds confusing . abigail : yeah , it kinda does . jennifer : i know . i 'm confused too . abigail : so what exactly are you confused about ? jennifer : you know what , sweetie , it 's -- it 's difficult . it 's -- it 's really complicated to -- to end a marriage with the father of your children . i would n't even have you right now if i had n't been so in love with your dad . and he with me . so listen to me . just because ... just because something ends , it does n't mean that it did n't have great value , okay ? i mean , imagine if we looked at life like that . you know , i mean , we all know that it ends at some point . but it does n't take away its meaning . abigail : i know . jennifer : good . look at me . all i 'm saying right now is that i think that maybe i have gained some perspective . but , like i said before , i love your dad . because he gave me you and your brother , and you are the two greatest blessings in my life . sami : okay , so at the very beginning , we were having this birthday party for , um , for sydney and johnny , who 'd just come back from the hospital . and , uh , so we needed a cake , right ? and ej said he would go get one . and then `` rafe `` offered to go with him . which i thought was crazy at the time , because obviously , rafe would not want to spend two minutes alone with ej . hope : right , of course . they wanted to talk . bo : good , good . that 's a start . sami : but it 's not enough , right ? um , oh . he , um , he made a pass at stephanie . hope : are you -- what ? bo : dirtbag . sami : she said it was really creepy , too . hope : yeah , well , i 'll give her a call and find out exactly what happened . rafe : you might want to call nicole , too . he hit on her as well . sami : how do you know that ? rafe : she came by here after i got back . wanted to pick up where they left off . sami : i will scratch her eyes out . did he hit on everything that moved ? bo : okay . well , nicole will be useful . she hates ej . sami : there 's someone else you should talk to . jennifer : so tell me , what 's -- what 's going on in your pretty little head ? abigail : i 'm wondering if ... if you 're thinking that -- jennifer : what ? thinking what ? abigail : that it 's okay if chad 's the father of my children . jennifer : what ? honey , i - i do n't want to think about the father of your children . for at least ten years , please . look , all i 'm saying is that people are more complicated than you 're willing to admit , okay ? abigail : chad got a girl pregnant in high school . jennifer : all right . uh , is he a part of that child 's life ? abigail : no . the baby , she , uh ... she died when she was only a few months old . jennifer : oh , that 's -- that 's awful . i 'm sorry . abigail : this changes everything for you , right ? now chad 's the spawn of the devil and i have to break up with him . jennifer : no , sweetie , i did n't say anything like that . but you are having a hard day , and you are obviously really upset with me . abigail : i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's all right . i think that maybe you realize , more than i even thought , how complicated people can be . abigail : well , with chad , things just keep getting more and more complicated . but you know , it -- maggie told me that , uh , i should n't be afraid of love . jennifer : guess what ? aunt maggie is always right . abigail : is she ? jennifer : yeah . abigail : then how come you had it and you went screaming in the other direction ? maxine : i hate to interrupt , but i think there 's a mistake on the o.r . schedule . they have you scheduled to work both days this weekend . daniel : no , that 's not a mistake . maxine : you 're working six days in a row ? daniel : well , if i do n't have a problem with it , you should n't have a problem with it . maxine : your life . lexie : well . um , i - i thought you were taking jennifer to san francisco this weekend . daniel : mm , no , that 's canceled . lexie : why ? daniel : maybe you should ask her . ej : well , that makes it official . chad : i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : yeah , you do . you made up your mind . you decided to become a dimera . start with a rich soil , sami : the reason i ended up kicking him out was that dario showed up here and confronted the creature about how he had had a woman here the night before . bo : what woman ? sami : i do n't know . some skank he picked up in a bar . rafe : her name was alicia . she came here also . she was like 5'10 `` , green eyes . dario could probably give you a better description . bo : well , good . good . um ... if she was a stranger , maybe he was more open with her . hope : well , guys , uh , you 've been a huge help . thank you so much . if you think of anything else , just please let us know , okay ? bo : yeah , sorry to have to put you through this again , sami . sami : you know what , i 'm happy to help . i will do whatever i can . and actually , there is something else i 'd be more than happy to do . bo : what 's that ? sami : [ scoffs ] you said i spent more time with fake `` rafe `` than anybody else . you give me half an hour alone with him , i 'll get whatever you need . jennifer : you know what , i am on a deadline . and i need to get back to my work . abigail : oh . you do n't want to talk about breaking up with daniel so that he can hook up with carly and save her from being a drug addict ? jennifer : i 'll have you know that carly 's doing a lot better . abigail : oh , is she ? is that because she has hope now that she and daniel are going to work out ? jennifer : maybe . abigail : there is no hope for her and daniel , mom ! he wants you . i mean , does n't that even matter to you , what he wants ? daniel : i do n't know . jen , she said a lot of stuff , but i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't know if i believe it . lexie : do you want to share with me the nature of this stuff ? or -- or is that being nosy ? daniel : no , no , no , no , no . you know what ? here 's -- here it is . she said -- she said she thought that things were going too fast . rushed . and she does n't want to be emotionally dependent on a man . lexie : is this about jack ? daniel : yeah , well , see , that 's what she wants me to think . lexie : you do n't believe it ? daniel : uh ... lexie , i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't know what to believe . i mean -- i mean , her divorce . just finalized . maybe she looked at the paper and she realized that 's -- that 's not what she wants . i mean , i -- lexie : yeah , but i mean , how could she want to be with a man who -- who left her ? basically went halfway around the world and does n't even call her . daniel : i do n't know . i do n't know , but she 's not talking . lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i -- really , i thought the two of you were good together . daniel : oh , i did too . i did , i felt the same way . i was feeling it . we were into it . but now , i -- you know what , i have no choice but to just back off . ej : [ sighs ] chad : just tell me one thing . how involved was father ? ej : [ sighs ] you 're hoping ... that i 'm going to tell you this was all my idea ? somehow i forced him to be complicit ? chad : well , he was pretty angry with you this morning . said he never wanted to see your face . what the hell am i supposed to think ? ej : care about him ? chad : he saw a set of test results and he took me in . tried to get to know me . made me part of the family . guy who raised me was n't like that . not even when he believed i was his biological son . ej : you love him ? chad : yeah , guess i do . ej : then it may interest you to know that when i go to prison , father will be sharing the cell with me . this other rafe ... this creation ... was his idea . sami : they 've got to give me some time alone with the creature . i mean , he 's told me that i drive him crazy . he 'll tell me all about ej just to get me out of his face . rafe : yeah , he 'll also say anything he can to hurt you . you 've been hurt enough , honey . sami : he ca n't hurt me now . he ca n't touch me . johnny : it was on tv . sami : what ? what was , sweetheart ? johnny : it said that daddy and nonno might go to jail . it 's a lie . we spend a lot of time on the feed jennifer : you know what , sweetie , i do n't like hurting daniel . abigail : but you 're just doing it anyway ? jennifer : you know , carly 's sanity is more important to me than my happiness or daniel 's . abigail : do you ever feel like a busybody ? like you 're arranging people 's lives for them ? jennifer : you know , i really hope that 's not what i 'm doing . abigail : well , i 'm thinking about breaking up with chad before i even know how it plays out , so . like mother , like daughter , right ? jennifer : i think that you are trying to avoid getting hurt . and that is completely understandable . abigail : what are you doing , mom ? are you really trying to protect carly ? are you trying to stay true to dad ? lexie : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . are n't you the man who was just lecturing me about not running away ? daniel : well , i was told when a woman says `` no , `` she means no . lexie : hmm . well , here 's something else about a woman . you might want to listen to this . when her man does something that upsets her , sometimes she wo n't say anything . but in her head , she opens a computer file with his name on it . it has a little icon with his face on it . and she starts storing stuff in there . daniel : really ? lexie : mm . until one day , he does something -- maybe not even that big of a thing , you know . like , uh , i do n't know . throwing dirty gym clothes on the bed or something . and she 's like , `` all right . that 's it . i 've had it . `` daniel : yeah , but see , jennifer was n't like that . lexie : no ? daniel : no . lexie : oh . okay , well , on the off chance that she is like that , do n't you think you have a right to know what 's in that file ? would n't that be best for both of you ? sami : hey , johnny , i guess i thought we agreed that you were n't gon na watch tv unless rafe or i were in the room . johnny : my video was over . sami : did sydney see it ? johnny : no , she fell asleep . rafe : yeah , i carried her to bed . sami : oh , great . thank you . so , um , what did you see , exactly ? johnny : the -- the lady on tv said that daddy and nonno might go to jail because of the bad things they did . rafe : hmm . sami : you know what ? no matter what daddy has done , it does n't change how he feels about you . johnny , look at me . he loves you . and he always will , sweetheart . hey , um , you know allie 's ' coming home in a little bit . johnny : i know . sami : yeah ? do you want to go with us to pick her up at the airport ? rafe : well , all right . how about this ? maybe when we come home , we 'll have pizza night . the way we used to . sami : [ gasps ] pizza ? pizza with mushrooms ? johnny : pizza with mushrooms ? rafe : no , no , no . no mushrooms . sami : what ? rafe : i 'm ordering it with extra broccoli . oh , yeah . johnny : i hate broccoli ! sami : that 's right , i forgot . he likes cauliflower . cauliflower on his pizza . rafe : i forget . sami : oh , i know . johnny : i hate cauliflower ! sami : [ laughs ] rafe : what ? sami : okay . all right , pizza with mushrooms . and then you know what else ? when sydney is ready , maybe we can stop by the toy store . johnny : yeah ! sami : [ laughs ] oh , i 'm so proud of him . rafe : me too . sami : i mean , i know we say it all the time , but just with everything he 's been through , he is so strong . rafe : i know , right ? i wonder where he gets that . sami : [ gasps ] rafe : guess . sami : stop it . you are still totally in the doghouse . the whole alicia thing ? rafe : yeah . sami : stop , stop ! rafe : come on . [ both laughing ] bo : and that 's everything ? no , no , no , stephanie . it 's -- it 's very helpful . yeah . miss you too . bye . hope : what did she say ? bo : well , he acted like he was trying to comfort her after she broke up with nathan , but she knew he was just trying to grope her . hope : what a pig . bo : yeah , she did n't give us anything that could be of any use . what about alicia ? hope : yeah , well , i 've been trying to track down rafe 's brother , try to get a full description . but i ca n't get him on the phone , and he 's not at the cheatin ' heart . mccarthy : all right . i got it . hope : what ? bo : [ exclaims ] ej : chad , the only difference between father and me is that i feel some sort of remorse for what i did . and he 's just sorry that he got caught . chad : so you 're going to lay this on him ? sell him down the river ? is that -- that 's your plan ? ej : my plans are none of your business . chad : you know , when you asked me to be your best man , you said you were all about family . that was a lot of crap . you say you did this for johnny and sydney ? you did this so you could stick it to sami and rafe . and you and father are headed to jail . johnny and sydney wo n't have a father or a grandfather . i wo n't have a brother or a father . kate wo n't have a husband . and you made this happen because it pissed you off that sami wanted another man ? ej : looks like you have me all figured out . chad : i thought i did . i thought you were this powerful , sophisticated guy who could get anything he wanted . and i was the jerk who knocked up his girlfriend and disappointed just about everyone . but at least i had some sense enough to realize what i got when i became part of this family . you had it all , but you blew it all to pieces for every one of us ! you 're the jerk . jennifer : hey . hi . daniel : i want to talk to you . jennifer : i would love to , but i 'm on a deadline . and i need to get out of here . daniel : je -- [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry to bail on you like this , but , uh , you do n't want me around right now . i would just be a drag . a total buzzkill . no , it 's not about chad . [ door opens and shuts ] abigail : okay , maybe it is about chad . listen , i got ta go . have fun . chad : you heard , did n't you ? what happened ? come on , let me have it . mccarthy : so his real name is arnold feniger . hope : no wonder he did n't want to tell us . bo : mm . mccarthy : he 's got a rap sheet a mile long . operated mainly in the detroit area . bo : mainly petty larceny . was n't very good at it . hope : he must 've thought he hit pay dirt when he was recruited by the dimeras . bo : did n't know he was way out of his league . good work , mccarthy . now that we know who he is and where he 's from , we can use it against him . what are you thinking ? hope : i think i know a way we can get to him . sami : okay , you really think she 's going to like this doll ? rafe : uh , yeah . well , if she does n't , you can always give her one of the other 15 toys that you got her . sami : all right . i just ca n't wait to have her back . ca n't wait to have her in my arms . johnny : are you two going to kiss ? sami : so what if we are ? rafe : yeah . johnny : gross ! rafe : gross ! sami : oh ... i 'm gon na kiss you next . johnny : [ laughing ] rafe : get him , get him ! sami : you get kisses . you get kisses from everybody 'cause we 're a family . [ smooching ] more kisses all the time . bo : as of this moment , hope brady has no official capacity with the salem p.d . sami : you listen to me , ej , and you listen good . taylor : but i still love him . | at the dimera mansion , ej was on the phone with his lawyer . he wanted his lawyer to get started on his case . chad walked in the living room and demanded to know the truth about what he and stefano did to rafe . ej did n't want to confide in him . chad did n't think ej would tell the truth anyway . they continued to argue about what was happening to the family . ej finally admitted that he did arrange rafe 's kidnapping and told chad to call the police . ej told chad that stefano would go to jail with him since creating fake rafe was his idea . chad thought that ej was going to put the blame on stefano . they started fighting again . chad told ej that he ruined the family and then he left . at the pub , jennifer and abby talked about jack , chad , daniel , and carly . abby wanted to know if she was really protecting carly or staying true to jack . at the loft , rafe let sami know that allie was on her way home . sami wanted the whole family to meet allie at the airport . rafe thought sami should talk to allie first . sami blamed herself for everything that happened . rafe convinced her that she did everything she could to protect the kids . | <s>[INST] ej : no , you do n't get to tell me that i am making a mistake , all right ? listen , i know the law just as well as you do . and this is what i want . so just do me a favor and make it happen . all right ? thank you . [ sighs ] abigail : have you heard the news ? jennifer : about stefano and ej ? yes , i did . abigail : it 's really bad , is n't it ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , it 's bad . i 'm not really sure if i can spin this positive for you . abigail : what 's chad supposed to make of this ? i mean , what 's -- what 's going to happen to him ? rafe : good news . just checked the status of allie 's ' flight , and she 's coming home on time . sami : wait . oh , i missed her so much . i can not wait to put my hands on that girl . rafe : yeah . i kind of got that when i saw the menagerie of new stuffed animals in her bedroom and the six bags of groceries full of her favorite foods . sami : are you suggesting that i went overboard ? rafe : you are allowed . totally . sami : uh , yeah . i better be . do you think that johnny and sydney will want to come with us to the airport ? rafe : i do n't know . if they do n't , i 'll stay here with them . sami : or we could just drop them off at grandma 's , and then you could come . rafe : yes , but if i stay here , you can go see allie alone and talk to her , since she is going to be seeing me for the first time . sami : oh , god . i just do n't know what to say to her . i mean , how do i explain ? how do i explain to my daughter that it 's all my fault that she has been through this ? bo : okay . thanks , man . hope : hey . bo : oh , hey . how 'd it go with frankenrafe ? hope : uh ... i 'll tell you all about it once i delouse . bo : that bad , huh ? hope : oh , my god . seriously , i just -- you know , i think pretending to be rafe kind of kept a lid on his essential scumminess . the gloves are off now . bo : so you were n't able to make a deal ? hope : [ sighs ] well , he does n't trust the bradys any more than he does the dimeras . he said he 'd rather take his chances in prison . bo : aw , hell . hope : you know , he 's just -- he 's a pig . he -- the last thing he -- never mind . bo : what ? hope : i just -- bo : hey . what ? hope . hope : he said , `` give that pretty little girl of yours a big , wet kiss from uncle rafe . `` wait , bo . no , no , no . stop , stop . stop . you ca n't let him see you like this . it just gets him going . and he 'll enjoy it . take a deep breath . breathe . okay . bo : [ exhales deeply ] all right , all right . there is another way to prove that he 's connected to the dimeras . ej : [ sighs ] what do you want ? chad : [ sighs ] the truth ? what did you and stefano do to rafe hernandez ? rafe : hon , i do n't think that feeling guilty is going to be a whole lot of help to allie . sami : i know that . but she 's going to be looking to me for answers . i 'm her mother . i should have answers . rafe : well ... sami : but i do n't . i mean , why did n't i listen to her when she told me that rafe was mean to her ? i should have done something . rafe : like what ? sami : anything . anything would have been better than telling her to be patient with `` rafe `` because he was n't acting like himself . oh , my god . i ca n't believe i said that . rafe : sami , it was like the second or third time that she said that he was mean to her , you got her out of here . sami : i should have kicked his ass out . rafe : sami , listen to me . you never stopped thinking that something was wrong with the guy . you never stopped trying to get to the bottom of it . sami : i should have known . rafe : all right -- sami : rafe , i should have known . rafe : sami , please . we talked about this , did n't we ? right ? you said you were n't going to beat yourself up about this . listen , i 'm a trained fbi agent , and under those circumstances -- i mean , come on . sami : oh , come on . i have grown up with the dimeras . i know what they are capable of . rafe : your little girl is coming home . that 's what 's important , okay ? focus on that . otherwise , the dimeras , they win . okay ? hope : you saw the double staring at a mug shot on rafe 's computer ? mccarthy : right . bo : one of our roadblocks is that we have no idea who this guy is . i mean , it 's -- it 's like stefano erased him from the database when he hired him . hope : well , he probably did . bo : so if this guy is a friend , any kind of connection , it could be a start . mccarthy : yeah , luckily , i got a good look at the mug shot . i just have to find it again . hope : does the double know you saw it ? mccarthy : yeah , i told him i thought the guy looked like a sicko . and he got all offended . hope : i won ... what .. bo : what ? hope : what if -- what if the guy in the mug shot is n't a friend ? what if it 's the double with his real face and his real name ? bo : and he was checking the database to see if he was still there . hope : exactly . it makes sense . bo : mccarthy , find that picture . mccarthy : i 'm going as fast as i can , boss . it 's just going to take me a while to track down everything he looked up . hope : listen , i could go back in . tell him we 're on to his true identity . maybe that 'll -- bo : no , no , no . let him sit there in his own stink . stare at the walls . i want him to think we 've given up on him . hope : yeah , well , what are we going to do ? stand around here and hope we get lucky ? bo : no , there 's another way to go about this . hope : i was hoping you 'd say that . bo : tell you about it in the car . hope : let 's go . bo : hang in there . hope : we 'll be back . lexie : ooh , that was rough . daniel : ugh . maxine : how 's mr. clark doing ? daniel : well , we got it all . he 's in recovery . maxine : already ? daniel : yeah , our friend lexie here had the idea that the tumor was bigger than it looked in the scan , and , uh ... she was right . lexie : well , i 'm just happy for the patient . maxine : well , i 'll bet you his wife and three little kids are happy too . you two are the best . daniel : thank you . lexie : whew . i am so glad that things turned out well . i mean , i was ... i was afraid i would n't be myself in there . daniel : yeah , i saw the paper this morning . lexie : yeah . most everyone did . daniel : well , i did n't know what to say . lexie : oh , you mean there 's nothing in the card store that says , `` thinking of you after your father created an exact double of his grandchildren 's stepfather `` ? daniel : well , you know , in this town , they could make money on a card like that . lexie : [ laughs ] you know what , you 're right . daniel : just saying . lexie : goodness . well , i guess all that talk about rafe not being himself was accurate . daniel : yeah , i know . you know , sami brought rafe in here a couple of weeks after the accident , and the mri scan showed that he did n't have an accident . guess we know why . lexie : mm . one thing you can say about my father and brother . they 're creative . daniel : [ chuckles ] yeah , how is it that you decided to use your superpowers for good ? lexie : oh , i flirted with the dark side . did n't turn out well . daniel : let me , uh ... let me buy you a coffee . lexie : yeah . yeah , thanks . daniel , you know ... when i think of what sami and those children went through , i could -- i could strangle my father . daniel : yeah , it ca n't be too easy for you , either . lexie : ugh . no , i 'm -- yeah . it 's not just me . i mean , the media -- sugar , please . thank you . is all over abe . because he 's married to a dimera . daniel : mm - hmm . lexie : i just -- i just wish i could convince abe that we should take a leave of absence . get out of this town . take theo away . daniel : you could do that , but would n't that be running away ? abigail : i saw chad at the hospital when ej was a patient . and he told me that stefano already has made him feel more a part of a family than he ever felt with his mother and the guy that he thought was his father . jennifer : i know . he grew up believing the d.a . was his father , right ? and now the d.a . could be prosecuting his real father . that 's crazy . abigail : what 's this going to do to him , mom ? jennifer : well , stefano and ej , they have n't been charged yet . abigail : well , the news said that they kidnapped sami 's husband . and they passed off that other guy as him . jennifer : right , but nothing 's been proven . abigail : as far as we know . and they have that other guy in jail . jennifer : all right . well , you know what i - i see from this ? i see two really good things . abigail : really ? 'cause i do n't see any . jennifer : well , listen , chad was n't involved in any way . right ? and now , he 's going to have to see what the dimera family really is . abigail : hmm . chad said that stefano 's starting to rely on him . jennifer : whatever that means . abigail : if stefano and ej go to prison , then ... does that mean that chad becomes the head of their family ? jennifer : well , you know what , that could be his worst nightmare . and yours too , honey . ej : you want me to confide in you , is that right ? man to man . chad : i want to know what to say when the phone rings and it 's a reporter . ej : you tell them to shut the hell up , and then you hang up the phone . chad : oh . so you did it . you kidnapped rafe ? and you put that other dude in his place ? ej : let 's just say that i 've been advised by my attorney not to say anything . chad : oh , you know what ? that 's -- that 's cool . because you know what ? i have a feeling that anything you tell me is just gon na be a bunch of bull . [ knock at door ] sami : oh . it 's , uh , aunt hope and uncle bo . hey . both : hi . sami : what 's up ? is there some news ? bo : uh ... we need your help . lexie : no . i do n't see trying to shield my son from his grandfather 's criminal activities as running away . daniel : okay . i 'll shut my mouth off . bad habit . sorry . lexie : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . no , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . daniel : no , no , no . lexie : oh , god . i ... i just want to go away , and stay away until this is all over . daniel : all right , you know what bothers me is that it 's you , abe , and theo should n't be the ones to have to leave town . lexie : yeah , i know . i know . [ sighs ] even if we do , i mean , this will never be over . daniel : you seem pretty sure they 're guilty . lexie : come on , daniel . you know what they 're capable of . [ sighs ] but theo does n't . you know , my baby does n't . he does n't . and because he 's so young , and because he 's on the spectrum , i ... i do n't know how to tell him why i want to take him away from his uncle and his grandfather . you know , i mean , to him , i 'd be the bad guy . jennifer : here 's what i think about this situation . do n't borrow trouble . abigail : who has to borrow it ? there 's plenty to go around . jennifer : have you even talked to chad yet ? abigail : no , and that bothers me , too . jennifer : yeah , he 's got a lot to think about . abigail : i know , i know . jennifer : well , listen , you -- you were really careful with him , you know , from the very beginning . and now you trust him , right ? abigail : yeah , but he had me convinced that the dimeras had somehow cleaned up their act . now i know they were just going underground . jennifer : all right , but it does n't change the fact that you are a smart cookie , and you think chad 's a good guy . so a good guy is going to keep his distance from a bad family . abigail : yeah , well , try . who knows if he 'll actually be able to ? jennifer : my money 's on chad . abigail : yeah , well , your money was also on dad , and look how that ended up . jennifer : abigail , i want you to stop talking about your father like that , okay ? ej : why would i lie to you ? i mean , you 're a part of the clan . right ? you having second thoughts ? chad : this is n't about me . ej : oh , come on , chad . come on , be a little bit creative , hmm ? i mean , think about it . think outside the box for a second . you could , uh -- you could be the good son . you can be the -- the michael corleone , hmm ? you can have evolved . chad : so you 're just going to jerk me around instead of leveling with me ? what , afraid i 'm going to call the cops ? ej : try and get this through that thick little head of yours , chad . i do n't really give a damn what happens to me . rafe : you 're kidding me . he turned down witness protection 'cause he does n't want to rat on the dimeras ? sami : he 'd rather go to prison for murder ? bo : yeah , and he wo n't last inside . hope : yeah , if his big mouth does n't get him killed , then -- sami : stefano probably will , right ? hope : absolutely . rafe : right . so you said you needed help ? bo : yeah , we 're trying to figure out who the double was before stefano turned him into you . rafe : hmm . got any leads ? hope : well , he was looking at , uh , mug shots on your computer . we 're thinking maybe he was looking at his old self . bo : if we could figure out who he was , you know , it could give us some leverage . sami : of course . so what can we do ? bo : actually , it 's you , sami . you 're the one who spent the most time with him , and i 'd like you to think about that time and see if you can come up with anything that could help us . rafe : bo , you know , allie 's ' coming home today . bo : yeah , good . good . rafe : yeah , yeah , it is good . and , um , i was just talking with sami , and i think the best way for us to move on is just to focus on being a family right now . just try and put some of this stuff behind us . hope : sami , we know how much you 've been through . rafe : i do n't see how . sami : it 's okay , rafe , actually . i want to help . i want to do whatever i have to to nail those bastards . chad : you could go to prison . ej : chad . i 've already lost ... everything that matters to me . i lost my father 's respect . i lost the woman that i love , and i 've lost my children . most of all , i lost my children . so in answer to your question , yes . i ... arranged for rafe to be kidnapped . and i was involved in the impostor taking his place . i did it because i wanted to end samantha 's marriage to rafe , and i did not want him to become a father to my children . i had means , i had motive , and i had opportunity . so here . brother . you go ahead . you call the police . you tell them what i just told you . chad : look , ej . i do n't think i should be the one to do that . ej : do it ! rafe : i just do n't want sami to have to relive that nightmare . there 's got ta be another way . sami : no , you know what ? this is gon na be different . rafe : well , how ? sami : because . because i 'm in charge . i get to help . i get to help everybody nail them for what they did to me . and then i wo n't feel like such a victim . bo : we 're not just relying on sami . she 's our backup in case this mug shot thing does n't pan out . sami : look , i am happy to be your plan `` b , `` okay ? hope : no one knows ej and stefano like you do . if you could just help us prove there was a conspiracy between them and the double , then that means anything he did , they also did . sami : so if he murdered fay -- hope : in the eyes of the law , they murdered fay . sami : okay , what do you need ? bo : so think about the interactions between the double and the dimeras . anything that can prove their connection . hope : anything . anything you remember , no matter how small or inconsequential it seemed at the time . it could be the nail in their coffin . abigail : so dad 's a good guy now ? is n't that , like , revisionist history ? jennifer : now , sweetie , i know that sounds confusing . abigail : yeah , it kinda does . jennifer : i know . i 'm confused too . abigail : so what exactly are you confused about ? jennifer : you know what , sweetie , it 's -- it 's difficult . it 's -- it 's really complicated to -- to end a marriage with the father of your children . i would n't even have you right now if i had n't been so in love with your dad . and he with me . so listen to me . just because ... just because something ends , it does n't mean that it did n't have great value , okay ? i mean , imagine if we looked at life like that . you know , i mean , we all know that it ends at some point . but it does n't take away its meaning . abigail : i know . jennifer : good . look at me . all i 'm saying right now is that i think that maybe i have gained some perspective . but , like i said before , i love your dad . because he gave me you and your brother , and you are the two greatest blessings in my life . sami : okay , so at the very beginning , we were having this birthday party for , um , for sydney and johnny , who 'd just come back from the hospital . and , uh , so we needed a cake , right ? and ej said he would go get one . and then `` rafe `` offered to go with him . which i thought was crazy at the time , because obviously , rafe would not want to spend two minutes alone with ej . hope : right , of course . they wanted to talk . bo : good , good . that 's a start . sami : but it 's not enough , right ? um , oh . he , um , he made a pass at stephanie . hope : are you -- what ? bo : dirtbag . sami : she said it was really creepy , too . hope : yeah , well , i 'll give her a call and find out exactly what happened . rafe : you might want to call nicole , too . he hit on her as well . sami : how do you know that ? rafe : she came by here after i got back . wanted to pick up where they left off . sami : i will scratch her eyes out . did he hit on everything that moved ? bo : okay . well , nicole will be useful . she hates ej . sami : there 's someone else you should talk to . jennifer : so tell me , what 's -- what 's going on in your pretty little head ? abigail : i 'm wondering if ... if you 're thinking that -- jennifer : what ? thinking what ? abigail : that it 's okay if chad 's the father of my children . jennifer : what ? honey , i - i do n't want to think about the father of your children . for at least ten years , please . look , all i 'm saying is that people are more complicated than you 're willing to admit , okay ? abigail : chad got a girl pregnant in high school . jennifer : all right . uh , is he a part of that child 's life ? abigail : no . the baby , she , uh ... she died when she was only a few months old . jennifer : oh , that 's -- that 's awful . i 'm sorry . abigail : this changes everything for you , right ? now chad 's the spawn of the devil and i have to break up with him . jennifer : no , sweetie , i did n't say anything like that . but you are having a hard day , and you are obviously really upset with me . abigail : i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's all right . i think that maybe you realize , more than i even thought , how complicated people can be . abigail : well , with chad , things just keep getting more and more complicated . but you know , it -- maggie told me that , uh , i should n't be afraid of love . jennifer : guess what ? aunt maggie is always right . abigail : is she ? jennifer : yeah . abigail : then how come you had it and you went screaming in the other direction ? maxine : i hate to interrupt , but i think there 's a mistake on the o.r . schedule . they have you scheduled to work both days this weekend . daniel : no , that 's not a mistake . maxine : you 're working six days in a row ? daniel : well , if i do n't have a problem with it , you should n't have a problem with it . maxine : your life . lexie : well . um , i - i thought you were taking jennifer to san francisco this weekend . daniel : mm , no , that 's canceled . lexie : why ? daniel : maybe you should ask her . ej : well , that makes it official . chad : i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : yeah , you do . you made up your mind . you decided to become a dimera . start with a rich soil , sami : the reason i ended up kicking him out was that dario showed up here and confronted the creature about how he had had a woman here the night before . bo : what woman ? sami : i do n't know . some skank he picked up in a bar . rafe : her name was alicia . she came here also . she was like 5'10 `` , green eyes . dario could probably give you a better description . bo : well , good . good . um ... if she was a stranger , maybe he was more open with her . hope : well , guys , uh , you 've been a huge help . thank you so much . if you think of anything else , just please let us know , okay ? bo : yeah , sorry to have to put you through this again , sami . sami : you know what , i 'm happy to help . i will do whatever i can . and actually , there is something else i 'd be more than happy to do . bo : what 's that ? sami : [ scoffs ] you said i spent more time with fake `` rafe `` than anybody else . you give me half an hour alone with him , i 'll get whatever you need . jennifer : you know what , i am on a deadline . and i need to get back to my work . abigail : oh . you do n't want to talk about breaking up with daniel so that he can hook up with carly and save her from being a drug addict ? jennifer : i 'll have you know that carly 's doing a lot better . abigail : oh , is she ? is that because she has hope now that she and daniel are going to work out ? jennifer : maybe . abigail : there is no hope for her and daniel , mom ! he wants you . i mean , does n't that even matter to you , what he wants ? daniel : i do n't know . jen , she said a lot of stuff , but i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't know if i believe it . lexie : do you want to share with me the nature of this stuff ? or -- or is that being nosy ? daniel : no , no , no , no , no . you know what ? here 's -- here it is . she said -- she said she thought that things were going too fast . rushed . and she does n't want to be emotionally dependent on a man . lexie : is this about jack ? daniel : yeah , well , see , that 's what she wants me to think . lexie : you do n't believe it ? daniel : uh ... lexie , i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't know what to believe . i mean -- i mean , her divorce . just finalized . maybe she looked at the paper and she realized that 's -- that 's not what she wants . i mean , i -- lexie : yeah , but i mean , how could she want to be with a man who -- who left her ? basically went halfway around the world and does n't even call her . daniel : i do n't know . i do n't know , but she 's not talking . lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i -- really , i thought the two of you were good together . daniel : oh , i did too . i did , i felt the same way . i was feeling it . we were into it . but now , i -- you know what , i have no choice but to just back off . ej : [ sighs ] chad : just tell me one thing . how involved was father ? ej : [ sighs ] you 're hoping ... that i 'm going to tell you this was all my idea ? somehow i forced him to be complicit ? chad : well , he was pretty angry with you this morning . said he never wanted to see your face . what the hell am i supposed to think ? ej : care about him ? chad : he saw a set of test results and he took me in . tried to get to know me . made me part of the family . guy who raised me was n't like that . not even when he believed i was his biological son . ej : you love him ? chad : yeah , guess i do . ej : then it may interest you to know that when i go to prison , father will be sharing the cell with me . this other rafe ... this creation ... was his idea . sami : they 've got to give me some time alone with the creature . i mean , he 's told me that i drive him crazy . he 'll tell me all about ej just to get me out of his face . rafe : yeah , he 'll also say anything he can to hurt you . you 've been hurt enough , honey . sami : he ca n't hurt me now . he ca n't touch me . johnny : it was on tv . sami : what ? what was , sweetheart ? johnny : it said that daddy and nonno might go to jail . it 's a lie . we spend a lot of time on the feed jennifer : you know what , sweetie , i do n't like hurting daniel . abigail : but you 're just doing it anyway ? jennifer : you know , carly 's sanity is more important to me than my happiness or daniel 's . abigail : do you ever feel like a busybody ? like you 're arranging people 's lives for them ? jennifer : you know , i really hope that 's not what i 'm doing . abigail : well , i 'm thinking about breaking up with chad before i even know how it plays out , so . like mother , like daughter , right ? jennifer : i think that you are trying to avoid getting hurt . and that is completely understandable . abigail : what are you doing , mom ? are you really trying to protect carly ? are you trying to stay true to dad ? lexie : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . are n't you the man who was just lecturing me about not running away ? daniel : well , i was told when a woman says `` no , `` she means no . lexie : hmm . well , here 's something else about a woman . you might want to listen to this . when her man does something that upsets her , sometimes she wo n't say anything . but in her head , she opens a computer file with his name on it . it has a little icon with his face on it . and she starts storing stuff in there . daniel : really ? lexie : mm . until one day , he does something -- maybe not even that big of a thing , you know . like , uh , i do n't know . throwing dirty gym clothes on the bed or something . and she 's like , `` all right . that 's it . i 've had it . `` daniel : yeah , but see , jennifer was n't like that . lexie : no ? daniel : no . lexie : oh . okay , well , on the off chance that she is like that , do n't you think you have a right to know what 's in that file ? would n't that be best for both of you ? sami : hey , johnny , i guess i thought we agreed that you were n't gon na watch tv unless rafe or i were in the room . johnny : my video was over . sami : did sydney see it ? johnny : no , she fell asleep . rafe : yeah , i carried her to bed . sami : oh , great . thank you . so , um , what did you see , exactly ? johnny : the -- the lady on tv said that daddy and nonno might go to jail because of the bad things they did . rafe : hmm . sami : you know what ? no matter what daddy has done , it does n't change how he feels about you . johnny , look at me . he loves you . and he always will , sweetheart . hey , um , you know allie 's ' coming home in a little bit . johnny : i know . sami : yeah ? do you want to go with us to pick her up at the airport ? rafe : well , all right . how about this ? maybe when we come home , we 'll have pizza night . the way we used to . sami : [ gasps ] pizza ? pizza with mushrooms ? johnny : pizza with mushrooms ? rafe : no , no , no . no mushrooms . sami : what ? rafe : i 'm ordering it with extra broccoli . oh , yeah . johnny : i hate broccoli ! sami : that 's right , i forgot . he likes cauliflower . cauliflower on his pizza . rafe : i forget . sami : oh , i know . johnny : i hate cauliflower ! sami : [ laughs ] rafe : what ? sami : okay . all right , pizza with mushrooms . and then you know what else ? when sydney is ready , maybe we can stop by the toy store . johnny : yeah ! sami : [ laughs ] oh , i 'm so proud of him . rafe : me too . sami : i mean , i know we say it all the time , but just with everything he 's been through , he is so strong . rafe : i know , right ? i wonder where he gets that . sami : [ gasps ] rafe : guess . sami : stop it . you are still totally in the doghouse . the whole alicia thing ? rafe : yeah . sami : stop , stop ! rafe : come on . [ both laughing ] bo : and that 's everything ? no , no , no , stephanie . it 's -- it 's very helpful . yeah . miss you too . bye . hope : what did she say ? bo : well , he acted like he was trying to comfort her after she broke up with nathan , but she knew he was just trying to grope her . hope : what a pig . bo : yeah , she did n't give us anything that could be of any use . what about alicia ? hope : yeah , well , i 've been trying to track down rafe 's brother , try to get a full description . but i ca n't get him on the phone , and he 's not at the cheatin ' heart . mccarthy : all right . i got it . hope : what ? bo : [ exclaims ] ej : chad , the only difference between father and me is that i feel some sort of remorse for what i did . and he 's just sorry that he got caught . chad : so you 're going to lay this on him ? sell him down the river ? is that -- that 's your plan ? ej : my plans are none of your business . chad : you know , when you asked me to be your best man , you said you were all about family . that was a lot of crap . you say you did this for johnny and sydney ? you did this so you could stick it to sami and rafe . and you and father are headed to jail . johnny and sydney wo n't have a father or a grandfather . i wo n't have a brother or a father . kate wo n't have a husband . and you made this happen because it pissed you off that sami wanted another man ? ej : looks like you have me all figured out . chad : i thought i did . i thought you were this powerful , sophisticated guy who could get anything he wanted . and i was the jerk who knocked up his girlfriend and disappointed just about everyone . but at least i had some sense enough to realize what i got when i became part of this family . you had it all , but you blew it all to pieces for every one of us ! you 're the jerk . jennifer : hey . hi . daniel : i want to talk to you . jennifer : i would love to , but i 'm on a deadline . and i need to get out of here . daniel : je -- [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry to bail on you like this , but , uh , you do n't want me around right now . i would just be a drag . a total buzzkill . no , it 's not about chad .

flo : do you think that katie 's gon na be able to convince her ? wyatt : to move in with me ? i - i hope so . dad ? bill : well , if anyone can , it 's katie . the woman knows how to win an argument . flo : yeah , i mean , i 'm sure she wants to move in with you , but she 's probably scared . i mean , she does n't want you to know that she 's sick and dying , which it 'll become pretty apparent when she moves in , so i think that she went to katie to ask for her advice about it . wyatt : or to chew her out . maybe she saw right through me and everything that i said . bill : well , what are you , wyatt , the invisible man ? i mean , you were smooth , were n't you ? i mean , you did n't go with , uh , `` hey , sally , why do n't we live together till one of us dies `` ? wyatt : no ! of course not . all right ? it 's just ... look , as hard as it is to keep my feelings in check around her , it 's not easy , knowing what she 's going through and wanting to do everything i can to help her , all the while , respecting her wishes . i just ... uh ... i do n't wan na mess this up for her . flo : yeah , but dying alone ? nobody wishes that . wyatt : if the secret 's out , that 's exactly what 's gon na happen . katie could be over there confessing that -- that all of us know about the truth , and if that 's the case , forget her moving in with me and spending her last days with me together . she 'll -- she 's gon na run . katie : you have to do this . take wyatt 's offer . move in with him . he 's the man that you wan na spend the rest of your life with so do it . sally : what a life . okay ? i -- i -- wyatt is expecting growing old with me and being surrounded by grandkids . i ca n't give him that , katie . katie : [ sighs ] no , but you can give him beautiful memories of time spent with a woman that he adores . sally : memories of what , being my hospice nurse ? i can barely control or hide these symptoms here at work . how am i supposed to hide them if i 'm living with him ? katie : you do n't have to hide them . you do n't have to do this alone . sally : alone is way better than being pitied . katie : he does n't pity you . or he -- he would n't , i mean . sally : did you tell wyatt that i was dying ? that 's why wyatt is doing all of these things . that 's why he asked me to move in with him . katie ... did you tell wyatt that i was dying ? bill : well , i got ta say that i 'm impressed with both of you . and i 'm glad you 'll have each other when this is ... when this is over . wyatt : and assuming it is n't over already . i mean , i do n't know what i would do if sally finds out . and if she 's already on her way out of town , i ... katie has to get through to her . she just has to . sally : i need to know that i can trust you , katie . katie : you can . sally : so wyatt does n't know ? okay , promise me you 're not gon na tell anyone . katie : i can promise you that i 'm going to continue to encourage you to tell people . sally : okay , well , encourage all you want , but it is not going to change my mind . katie : you do n't think wyatt is gon na be upset when you 're gone and he realizes that you 've kept this from him ? sally : yeah , probably , okay ? but this is my death , not his , and i decide how it happens . katie : okay , so how do you see this happening when the time comes ? you ... all alone in a hospital room ? sally : i ... yeah , i guess , if that 's how it has to be . katie : that 's not how it has to be . wyatt can be there with you . sally : no , i 'm not gon na do that , katie , okay ? that is why i 'm keeping the secret . i 'm not even telling my grand -- my sister . i 'm not gon na do that to them . i 'm not going to make anyone watch me die . katie : you 're not making anyone do anything . if wyatt chooses to be with you , you should let him . is n't that what 's best for you , to -- to have the man that you love standing by your side ? sally : yeah , ideally . katie : well , then , make it happen . wyatt is reaching out to you . do n't push him away when you need him most . let him take care of you , for whatever time you have left . nyquil severe gives you powerful relief bill : sally has every right to die the way she wants . flo : with as much joy and comfort and love as possible , which is ... it 's where you come in . wyatt : yeah , i mean , that 's -- that 's ...

'cause at the end , it 's not gon na be like that . there 's gon na be tubes . there 's gon na be machines . katie : oh , god . why ? stop . stop with the machines and tubes . that 's not how it has to be . it -- you can be in malibu . you could be watching the sunset over the pacific and -- and -- and feeling the cool breeze on your skin and -- and listening to the waves crash on the sand . that 's how it can be if you just choose it . go to wyatt . take his offer . this is your opportunity . & live your life until your body wo n't let you anymore . live it with wyatt . katie : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] hi . flo : hi . can i come in ? i kinda snuck into the building . katie : yeah , of course , and -- and you do n't have to do that . you 're my niece . you 're welcome here anytime . flo : well , thank you . i just really ca n't stop thinking about everything going on with sally . do -- do you know why she wanted to meet him ? katie : i don't . i 'm hoping that ... she 's saying that she wants to move in with him . i 'm hoping that she 's telling him that she wants to spend her last days with him , but i honestly -- i really do n't know . flo : did -- did you tell her that we all know ? katie : no , but she grilled me . flo : okay . katie : i feel terrible lying , but in this case ... flo : i mean , it would be way too painful for sally to find out that we all know her secret , you know ? it feels terrible to -- to lie about it , but ... if sally can die on her own terms , or at least believing that she is , then -- katie : that 's the goal . flo : and part of that means spending that time with wyatt . katie : she did say that she hopes that she 's in wyatt 's arms when ... flo : then that 's what i want for her . sally really needs to do this . she does n't have much time left . she really needs to make the most of it .

[ sighs ] i just thought that things , you know , were over between us and that you were committed to flo and just out of nowhere -- wyatt : no , no , that 's -- that 's the thing . it 's not out of nowhere . sally , my feelings for you have never gone away . look , i know that i hurt you , okay ? and i am sorry about that . but i - i wan na do everything that i can to make that up to you . sally : are you sure you are over flo ? wyatt : look ... flo is important to me , yes . okay ? that -- that 's never gon na change . and i ... i respect her too much . and i will cherish the moments that we had together and everything , but right now i just -- i wan na focus on the woman i want to make a life with , and that 's that 's you . sally : you really do love me , do n't you ? wyatt : yeah . always . sally : i believe you . wyatt : good . i 'm glad . wait . what does that mean ? wait . why -- why did you come here ? did you ... are you ... please tell me that you 're gon na stay . sally : i ... i , uh ... i do n't know . i mean , are you still allergic to doing the dishes ? you know i have sensitive skin , all right ? i ca n't -- i ca n't afford -- like , i ca n't risk to get the dishpan hands . it hurts . it cracks . it bleeds . i can't ... sally : okay . well , i mean , then i guess i have no choice , yeah . i have to stay . i have to take care of you . wyatt : we will take care of each other . so you 're ... so you 're gon na say it ? sally : yeah . yes . yeah . yeah . wyatt : [ laughs ] sally : i - i want to be here with you for ... as long as i can . wyatt : that ... that ...

you did n't stop it the last time ! jack : paul , the fbi , international authorities are all searching for annicelli . they are going to catch him . phyllis : in the meantime ? jack : in the meantime , we come up with a plan that he ca n't fool you again . phyllis : what kind of plan ? jack : a password , something , a word we both know that , if i do n't say it , you know it 's not me . phyllis : then what ? jack : then you get as far away from him as you possibly can . come on . let 's think of a word . phyllis : how about `` duplicitous jackass `` ?

it 's their problem . let them deal with it . it 's none of our business . sharon : no , i mean , if it affects faith , it is . dylan : is that really why you 're interested ? sharon : why else would i be ?

but after everything that i 've been through , do n't you think that i deserve a friend ? okay . fact is , i do n't need approval from anybody . victor : noah , noah . i love you , okay ? hate to upset the boy . but i guess he 's determined to stand by that girl . nikki : always fighting for the people that he cares about . reminds me of another newman man i know . victor : oh , yeah ? well , i admire his loyalty . nikki : but ? victor : that girl has a shady past . she 's involved with some dangerous people . among others , that drug lord that the authorities are looking for . nikki : you 're kidding . that , um , marco anni -- annicelli ?

jack : i 'm gon na find that out . phyllis : okay . let 's go . jack : no , no , no . better i go alone . phyllis : no , no , no , no . i have been kept in the dark about this way too long . jack : i will tell you everything , but i have a better chance of her opening up to me if you 're not with me . phyllis : i will be waiting at the bar . victor : hello , phyllis . you 're back so soon from your second honeymoon . nikki : i hope istanbul was n't disappointing . that can happen sometimes on a return trip . phyllis : oh , no , no , no . was n't disappointing at all . just the opposite . jack opened my eyes to so many things while we were there . yeah . he helped me see them in a whole , new light . marisa : [ gasps ] it 's so good to see you , jack . it is you ... is n't it ? jack : it 's me . it 's jack . marisa : how do i know ? jack : by looking in my eyes . it 's jack abbott . i started a fire in the ship with a 9-volt battery and some steel wool . who else would know that ? marisa : it 's you . but your eyes , they look different . angry , jack . jack : i ca n't believe you 're still here . how do you afford a place like this ? marisa : i , uh -- so much has happened since after you got shot . jack : yeah , so i 've heard . marisa : i made some new friends . they helped me get on my feet . jack : anyone i know ? marisa : noah newman . he 's nothing like his grand -- jack : he 's a good kid . so , you were on your way somewhere . where were you going ? marisa : uh , it does n't matter . it 's so good to see you , jack . but what are you doing here ? i thought you and your bride were on your honeymoon . jack : we had some unfinished business to deal with . marisa : i - i can explain that . jack : what ? how you 're protecting your lover still ? or how victor newman is paying you now ? victor : phyllis , please join us . phyllis : no . no , no , no , no , no . i would never dream of interrupting such a romantic evening with the two of you . nikki : oh , come on . it 's just dinner . phyllis : i know how important these moments are in a marriage . happiness -- it 's fleeting . you know , tragedy can happen in an instant . nikki : and i 'm sure you were relieved that jack came out of that coma . we were all so worried about him . phyllis : i appreciate your concern , nikki . nikki : and what a recovery that was . he had barely been released from the hospital . you two were off on the plane to istanbul . phyllis : yeah , it was a miracle , is what that was . and i actually -- i am not the only person who 's benefited from jack 's restored health . he was able to back up your story about what happened in the park the night you shot him . victor : is n't that nice how he was able to clear up this terrible misunderstanding ? nikki : well , now we can finally have some peace between the newmans and the abbotts . victor : i do n't see any reason why not . phyllis : well , just like that ? victor : yes , just like that . do you honestly think that jack wants to relive the events of the past few months ? neither do i . phyllis : no , neither of us want to relive what led up to that -- what did you just call it ? -- terrible misunderstanding in the park . yeah , no . no .

both of our husbands made it out of a collapsed building alive , and they survived wanting to kill each other . now we have this chance to start a fresh life . phyllis : with all due respect , nikki , either you 're drunk , delusional , or both . victor : you find marco annicelli . if it becomes known that he 's a dead ringer for jack abbott , all hell will break loose . you got it ? sharon : before faith comes back , you should be aware that she knows what 's going on between you two . nick : how can she know that ? i mean , i just proposed . sharon : you just -- you 're engaged ? ! sage : ye -- uh , nick gave me this last night . nick : um , what did you -- what were you talking about ? dylan : uh , probably just a misunderstanding . congratulations on the engagement . that is great . sage : thank you . nick : thanks , man . sharon : could i talk to you just so we know how we 're gon na handle this ? nick : uh , sure . yeah . dylan : how about a decaf latte on the house ? sage : yeah , that 's great . dylan : okay . sage : okay . nick : you okay ? are you worried about anything ? sharon : yeah . just i 'm worried about you . i know how impulsive and passionate you can be . are you sure about this ? getting engaged ? nick : sharon . sharon : i 'm just worried about you . you know , faith overheard sage talking about a paternity test on the phone . nick : yeah , that test proved that the baby is mine . sharon : yeah , but we both know that those tests can be manipulated . nick : sage would never do anything that cruel or hurtful . sharon : so you 're saying she would never be as devious and manipulative as me ? sharon : it would be nice if you held sage to the same standards you hold me to . nick : sage has never done anything like you did . sharon : she lied to you about sleeping with gabe and that he was possibly the father of her child . nick : can you just be happy for me ? sharon : i am happy for you . your happiness means a lot to me . because if you get hurt , then faith gets hurt . that 's why i 'm worried about you rushing into this engagement . nick : sage and i are committed to each other . sharon : yeah , well , sage lied about being committed to a marriage before . nick : sage and gabe never had a real marriage , and sage is the one who ended it , and that cost her a huge share of the bingham fortune . sharon : oh , well , not a huge sacrifice , considering where she 's landed . nick : look , sage broke it off because she could n't handle the lie , which is more than i could say ... sharon : wow . just -- [ sighs ] wow . nick , have you forgotten that you failed to get an accurate paternity test for 20 years ? so ease off on the judgment . we 've all lied , including sage . so let 's not pretend otherwise . dylan : hey . did you get that cake ? faith : big piece . dylan : big piece ? faith : extra big , extra chocolaty . dylan : good . that 's good . what 's wrong ? sage : oh . faith : is that an engagement ring ? sage : yes . it 's , um ... faith : you and daddy are n't breaking up ? sage : well , faith , if i -- faith : mommy , come here , quick ! sharon : what is it , sweetie ? sage : nick , i was -- she asked me -- faith : daddy 's engaged ! nikki : i understand why you 're upset . you 're upset with victor , with good reason . your husband was in a coma for weeks because of him . i understand . phyllis : your husband 's actions were beyond contemptible . nikki : phyllis , i am truly sorry for everything you have been through . phyllis : nikki , you have no idea what i 've been through . nikki : well , maybe not . but even jack said that victor shot him in self- defense . phyllis : that was the very least of it . nikki : well , i do n't know what you mean . phyllis : i want you tell me -- tell me -- how can you defend that man that you 're married to ? nikki : maybe it was in the same way that you defended your husband when he merged his father 's legacy with somebody that he hated . and then you stood by and watched him buy sports cars and blow off business meetings and carry on like a teenager in heat . and then when he decided he wanted both companies , he framed my husband for embezzlement , and you stood by and watched every minute . phyllis : jack may not have been acting like himself , but he never , ever tried to kill someone . nikki : he brought a gun to the park . phyllis : that was n't jack ! not the jack i know , anyway . nikki : so you 're not really upset with victor or anything he has done . you 're upset because jack has not been himself . phyllis : he is now . nikki : well , victor has found his footing , as well . and he would like to make up for what he 's done . he truly wants our families to get back together . so , phyllis , can you please forgive him , not blame him for the troubles you 're having in your life , and look forward to what you have ahead with jack ? phyllis : nikki , jack and i are fine , in spite of victor . and if you insist on defending your husband , that is your choice . but i happen to think it makes you incredibly foolish . nikki : is that right ? victor : so , what in the world did i do wrong now ? nikki : well ... apparently phyllis is not ready or willing to forgive and forget you , and she says that i would be a fool to trust you . victor : well ... nikki : is she right ? marisa : i 'm not protecting marco , and i 'm not working for victor . jack : then explain this . marisa : noah and his friends found out that marco and i were together . they went running to the cops . i realized that if they did n't know what marco looked like , you had n't told them the truth . i did n't know what to do . so i gave them a false description . jack : so marco is alive . marisa : he should be . his car crashed into that lake , but his body was n't there . jack : and the police are looking for him . marisa : the police and victor . victor searched the lake before the police did . jack : if victor found the body and got rid of it , i have no proof that he kidnapped me and replaced me . marisa : i do n't think that 's the case . jack : you do n't know victor newman . marisa : what he did to you proves he 's capable of anything . but when he came to me for information , he looked genuinely worried that marco was still out there . jack : oh , i am sure the idea of two jack abbotts walking around has him more than a little bit nervous . marisa : oh , i 'm scared , too , jack . if marco returns , it would be so easy for him to pretend to be you . jack : which means everyone i know is in danger .

sharon : i am happy for you . your happiness means a lot to me . because if you get hurt , then faith gets hurt . that 's why i 'm worried about you rushing into this engagement . nick : sage and i are committed to each other . sharon : yeah , well , sage lied about being committed to a marriage before . nick : sage and gabe never had a real marriage , and sage is the one who ended it , and that cost her a huge share of the bingham fortune . sharon : oh , well , not a huge sacrifice , considering where she 's landed . nick : look , sage broke it off because she could n't handle the lie , which is more than i could say ... sharon : wow . just -- [ sighs ] wow . nick , have you forgotten that you failed to get an accurate paternity test for 20 years ? so ease off on the judgment . we 've all lied , including sage . so let 's not pretend otherwise . dylan : hey . did you get that cake ? faith : big piece . dylan : big piece ? faith : extra big , extra chocolaty . dylan : good . that 's good . what 's wrong ? sage : oh . faith : is that an engagement ring ? sage : yes . it 's , um ... faith : you and daddy are n't breaking up ? sage : well , faith , if i -- faith : mommy , come here , quick ! sharon : what is it , sweetie ? sage : nick , i was -- she asked me -- faith : daddy 's engaged ! nikki : i understand why you 're upset . you 're upset with victor , with good reason . your husband was in a coma for weeks because of him . i understand . phyllis : your husband 's actions were beyond contemptible . nikki : phyllis , i am truly sorry for everything you have been through . phyllis : nikki , you have no idea what i 've been through . nikki : well , maybe not . but even jack said that victor shot him in self- defense . phyllis : that was the very least of it . nikki : well , i do n't know what you mean . phyllis : i want you tell me -- tell me -- how can you defend that man that you 're married to ? nikki : maybe it was in the same way that you defended your husband when he merged his father 's legacy with somebody that he hated . and then you stood by and watched him buy sports cars and blow off business meetings and carry on like a teenager in heat . and then when he decided he wanted both companies , he framed my husband for embezzlement , and you stood by and watched every minute . phyllis : jack may not have been acting like himself , but he never , ever tried to kill someone . nikki : he brought a gun to the park . phyllis : that was n't jack ! not the jack i know , anyway . nikki : so you 're not really upset with victor or anything he has done . you 're upset because jack has not been himself . phyllis : he is now . nikki : well , victor has found his footing , as well . and he would like to make up for what he 's done . he truly wants our families to get back together . so , phyllis , can you please forgive him , not blame him for the troubles you 're having in your life , and look forward to what you have ahead with jack ? phyllis : nikki , jack and i are fine , in spite of victor . and if you insist on defending your husband , that is your choice . but i happen to think it makes you incredibly foolish . nikki : is that right ? victor : so , what in the world did i do wrong now ? nikki : well ... apparently phyllis is not ready or willing to forgive and forget you , and she says that i would be a fool to trust you . victor : well ... nikki : is she right ? marisa : i 'm not protecting marco , and i 'm not working for victor . jack : then explain this . marisa : noah and his friends found out that marco and i were together . they went running to the cops . i realized that if they did n't know what marco looked like , you had n't told them the truth . i did n't know what to do . so i gave them a false description . jack : so marco is alive . marisa : he should be . his car crashed into that lake , but his body was n't there . jack : and the police are looking for him . marisa : the police and victor . victor searched the lake before the police did . jack : if victor found the body and got rid of it , i have no proof that he kidnapped me and replaced me . marisa : i do n't think that 's the case . jack : you do n't know victor newman . marisa : what he did to you proves he 's capable of anything . but when he came to me for information , he looked genuinely worried that marco was still out there . jack : oh , i am sure the idea of two jack abbotts walking around has him more than a little bit nervous . marisa : oh , i 'm scared , too , jack . if marco returns , it would be so easy for him to pretend to be you . jack : which means everyone i know is in danger . [ thunder rumbles ] dylan : we should get going if we 're gon na get home before the storm hits . sharon : hmm . dylan : we can drop that off at nick 's on our way if you want . sharon : hmm . she has one just like it at her father 's house . seems like she 's got two of everything now . we 're such a modern family . dylan : uh , you and nick splitting up has n't been easy on faith , but she 's adjusting . sharon : yeah . she has gotten used to the fact that we 're not going to be the family she hoped we 'd be . dylan : have you ? sharon : you really think i want nick back ? dylan : i think part of you misses the life that you had together . sharon : that was the past . dylan : i know , but it was supposed to be your life , you and nick raising faith , the three of you finally being a family . sharon : that was a dream . dylan : one that you let go of ? sharon : i 'm planning a life with you now , dylan . and our child . dylan : i know . i just saw how it affected you when nick said he was marrying sage . so if you 're having any doubts or if you change your mind about our relationship , now 's the time to tell me . faith : are you sure it 's here ? sage : i 'm very sure . last time you were here , you left it , and i put it behind the bar for safe keeping . ah . faith : swagglepuss ! nick : swagglepuss . sage : yay ! [ chuckles ] faith : can we go home now , daddy ? nick : you know , why do n't we wait till the storm dies down a little bit ? faith : can i have a shirley temple , please ? nick : you got any money ? faith : no , but i know the owner . nick : okay , well , have a seat . i 'll see if i can find swaggle some , uh , catnip or a tiara . sage : [ laughs ] nick : hey , thank you so much for remembering that swag two was here . sage : that 's okay . i 'm happy to save a trip to the coffeehouse . nick : yeah . about that , uh ... i 'm sorry that faith talked to sharon about our personal life . sage : that 's okay . i do n't think she meant any harm by it . nick : still ... i should talk to her . one shirley temple . faith : thanks . where 's the tiara ? nick : you heard that ? faith : i hear everything . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : right . so , about that ... faith : uh - oh . nick : i know you did n't mean to eavesdrop on sage 's phone call , you know . but if that happens again and you have some questions , you should just go ahead and ask them , that way nobody gets hurt or there are n't any misunderstandings , 'cause i know you do n't want that , right ? faith : no . nick : you think there 's something you might want to say to sage ? faith : sorry , sage . sage : that 's okay , honey . i know you 're just worried about your dad . and i just want you to know that i would never do anything to hurt you or the baby . faith : so you 'll never take your baby away from us ? sage : no matter what , he or she will always be your little brother or sister . victor : no more interruptions tonight , all right ? just you and me . nikki : i like the sound of that . victor : do you ? oops . nikki : oh , great . victor : what do we have now ? nikki : there goes our romantic evening . victor : well , i 'll be damned . why do n't i talk to the maitre d ' and then we get some candles and we have dinner by candlelight . how does that sound ? nikki : go ahead . do n't take too long . jack : have you seen phyllis ? victor : she disappeared . apparently seeing me upset her . she seems to think she ca n't trust me . jack : she 'd be right . victor : you and i had an agreement . jack : if i were n't sticking to it , you 'd be in jail . victor : and if you are n't sticking to your side of the agreement , you 'll be facing a death squad on a caribbean island . jack : do n't worry . i 'm keeping your dirty , little secret . i may change my mind , though , if you do n't start being honest with me . victor : what are you talking about ? jack : you told me marco was dead . you failed to mention that when the police searched the lake he supposedly drowned in , the body was missing . victor : what are you suggesting ? jack : that you got to him first . now , you tell me , where is he ? [ knock on door ] [ thunder rumbles ] marisa : who is it ? noah : it 's noah . just came from a little conversation with my grandfather . marisa : what 'd he say ? noah : just tried to spin me around in circles , which is par for the course when he 's confronted with the truth . marisa : i wish you had n't told him about our meeting in the park . noah : i wanted to make it perfectly clear he 's not gon na be threatening you . marisa : the last thing i want is to come between you and your family . noah : believe me , you 're not . i 'm not gon na let my grandfather control my life . look , after what i 've been through this year , i really ... i did n't think that it was possible that i could ... that i could have feelings for someone else . i did n't want to admit to myself , but ... the moment that i laid eyes on you , everything changed . marisa : i knew there was a reason i came here . it was you . phyllis : [ sighs ] [ glass shatters ] [ thunder rumbles ] dylan : we should head out . sharon : wait , before we go , i want to say something . dylan : okay . sharon : [ sighs ] i 'm not secretly hoping that nick and i get back together . i want a life with you . with you and our baby . dylan : so , you okay with nick starting a family with sage ? sharon : i think the only thing i was ever really worried about was faith , you know . and now that nick and sage are engaged and everything 's settled with the paternity , i wish them every happiness in the world . dylan : what about us ? what do you wish for us ? sharon : a fresh start and to create something that neither one of us has ever had before . a love that can weather any storm .

paul : so , what did kevin find when he hacked into colin 's bank records ? dylan : uh , there was a payment to an escort service . paul : okay . so , colin 's a sleaze . we knew that . what else ? dylan : well , it turns out that colin paid the escort to spend the night with devon at his bachelor party . i tracked the , uh , the escort down , and she admitted that she 'd lied to devon the next morning . paul : she lied ? about what ? dylan : she lied about saying that they had sex , and they really did n't 'cause devon passed out and did n't remember , and he had to take her word for it . paul : oh . nice . anything else ? dylan : well , colin strolls into the coffeehouse . so i ask him , and he insists that i 'm looking in the wrong direction , that he set the deal up with somebody else . paul : who ? dylan : a person who does not want to see devon and hilary live happily ever after . and who is that one person ? that 's neil . so , when i confronted neil -- paul : wait . you what ? gwen : stop me if this is too personal . neil : what ? i 'm -- i 'm an open book . gwen : i was just wondering how your meetings were going . how you been holding up ? neil : i 'm good . yeah , i nipped it in the bud . no more cravings . gwen : really ? neil : yeah , really . talked to my sponsor . i went to a meeting last night . you know , talking things through , that -- that really helps a lot . gwen : and that 's all it took to get back on track ? neil : hey . i 'm not 100 % . that 's true . and i deal with this addiction struggle every single day . i already told you i slipped . but i 'm taking the necessary steps , you know , to resolve that . i 'm feeling a lot better , gwen . i am . devon : that 's good to hear you say that , 'cause i have some news about hilary . patty : hey there , stranger ! hi ! sharon : patty ? patty : yeah . sharon : what are you doing here ? patty : i got transferred back . paulie arranged it . sharon : oh . how long ago was this ? patty : uh , a few weeks . my mind is so much clearer than when i was sent to that awful prison . here i get more freedom . well , some , anyway . but the better i get , the more privileges they 're giving me . is n't that great ? sharon : uh , yeah , that 's great . patty : and paul comes to visit quite a bit , but i have n't heard a peep out of jack . what 's he up to these days ? sharon : uh , you know , i have to go . i have an appointment with my doctor . patty : oh . okay . we 'll catch up later , then . dr. anderson : oh , good morning , sharon . oh , right on time . how 'd you sleep ? sharon : um , good , actually . dr. anderson : wonderful . are you ready for your first therapy session ? we can go into the conference room , if you 'd like . sharon : no , here 's fine . i do n't , uh -- you know , no one 's here . i do n't need formal therapy . dr. anderson : you do n't ? sharon : no , as you know , i 'm here voluntarily . i just want to get back on track with my meds in a safe environment and do what 's best for my baby . dr. anderson : okay . well , let 's talk about that . how do you feel about being a mother again ? phyllis : let 's go with the fish . i know that 's something fred would like . i think it 'd be kind of awkward if we served a roast to find out he does n't like meat . i tell you , though , mrs. martinez , she would have such a tough time -- jack : i know you 're excited about having this guy over , about introducing us , but i 'm starting to think this is not such a hot idea . phyllis : since when ? jack : since i 've had a chance to think about it . you do n't even know this guy . phyllis : so ? jack : so why are you so excited about this dinner ? phyllis : is this -- i 'm sorry . you were all for this last night . jack : i 'm just a little surprised . you do n't take to strangers this quickly . phyllis : you talking or gabe bingham talking ? jack : no , do n't do that . phyllis : no , do n't tell me that you are feeding into this paranoia about this paragon drivel . jack : `` a , `` it is not drivel . phyllis : if you say so . jack : and `` b , `` gabe makes some good points . phyllis : [ scoffs ] please ! fred is totally harmless . jack : you do n't know that . phyllis : are you telling me that you think he 's involved in some conspiracy theory to topple jabot ? the man is a fisherman ! jack : he could be a lot of other things that we do n't know about . phyllis : true or false -- i am a good judge of character and have excellent instincts about people . jack : not always . phyllis : jack . if you actually met the man , you would see how silly it is to consider that he 's any kind of threat . he is a lost soul out there without a wife . and after everything you and i have been through , i was compelled by that . i want him to see that life goes on beyond this tragedy and that help and support can come from unlikely sources . so can we please put aside this paragon talk and focus on showing a little bit of compassion toward a fellow human being ? adam : what the hell do you think you 're doing accepting a dinner invitation from phyllis ? ian : manners . the social contract . that which separates us from the animals , dear boy . it would have been rude to decline . i am many things , but i 'm not rude . adam : guess what ? this is n't a game . ian : really ? but i 'm having so much fun . [ laughs ] adam : your friendship with phyllis , it ends now , okay ? i 'm not gon na let you blow up my carefully laid plan on a whim . ian : oh , that 's what you think this is ? a whim ? adam : no , actually , i think that phyllis has a very enchanting smile and i think you get a thrill from being around her . ian : i ca n't argue with that . adam : you 're jeopardizing everything , the whole damn project . ian : stop worrying . i 'm not gon na break bread with jack abbott . but in future , we have to be open to the tantalizing possibilities that may arise . we have to be able to adapt . adam : no more improvising , okay ? i mean it . ian : even if it enhances a plan ? i mean , after all , revenge ... adam : ... is a dish best served cold . yeah , i 've heard that before . ian : oh , that aphorism is woefully inadequate . revenge is like making love to a beautiful woman . adam : oh . ian : i mean , if you 're simply trying to get it over with , why bother ? it should be savored . every shift and nuance . adam : now i got just a bunch of pictures in my head that i wish i did n't have . listen , how about [ sighs ] a little less savoring , okay , and a lot more security ? how about that ? ian : we can have both , and we will . in the meantime , i 'll figure out some way to bow out gracefully so that i do n't offend phyllis . i would n't want her to stop visiting . it 's so lonely out here in the woods . adam : no more visits from phyllis . you 're gon na do what you 're told . you 're gon na grab all your stuff and you 're gon na leave . you 're gon na do it immediately . you 're gon na set up shop somewhere else . is that clear ? ian : `` is that clear ? `` lo , the tyrant deems how i ought behave . perhaps he first stumbles into the grave . adam : [ chuckles ] what the hell is that ? a threat ? ian : it just came to me . adam : shakespeare ? ian : maybe . there 's a good chance i made it up . what you should know is , i 'm not comfortable with you ordering me around . adam : what you should know , ian , is that i 'm very comfortable with you being uncomfortable . maybe it 'll remind you who got you out of prison in the first place . ian : how could i ever forget ? adam : yeah , well , you do n't forget , all right ? you keep your eye on the prize . that 's taking down victor . otherwise you 're gon na end up at the mercy of a bunch of people who wo n't be showing you any . do you understand me ? gwen : so , this witness in virgin gorda . devon : yeah , they said that they saw a woman on a gurney being loaded onto a plane right after hilary went missing . neil : so you said you have new information . devon : well , we know now that that plane landed in dallas . neil : that 's huge . that means that hilary could be in texas . have you talked to the pilot ? devon : no , not yet , but we 're just -- we 're still trying to piece things together . gwen : have you learned anything else ? devon : [ sighs ] yeah . that the plane refueled and then took off . but this time , the pilot did n't file a flight plan , so we do n't know where it was headed . and then 24 hours later , the plane returned to dallas . so if hilary was on the flight when it left dallas ... gwen : she could be anywhere . neil : are you using your own people in all this , or do you have the police involved ? devon : i took this to paul williams , and michael 's doing everything he can . and meanwhile , the island cops are fighting a ruling trying to get me extradited back there , so i have to stay hands off or else the prosecutor will accuse me of trying to manipulate evidence . neil : yeah , man , man , this has got to be so frustrating . devon : it 's extremely frustrating 'cause there 's literally nothing that i can do right now to help find my wife . neil : has to give you hope . i mean , it gives me hope that hilary could have survived and that this whole thing could be over very soon . devon : yeah . paul : i think it was a real mistake to accuse someone like neil winters solely based on the word of a convicted felon like colin . i mean , especially now that we know he was trying to blackmail devon with the video . dylan : was neil gon na use that video to wreck devon 's marriage ? paul : according to colin . really ? i mean , we have no other corroborating evidence . dylan : but given how devon betrayed his father ... paul : look , i 've suspected neil from the very beginning . being involved in the disappearance of his ex - wife , the jilted husband , he was a person of interest . and i did n't want anybody to accuse me of any impropriety in the investigation , so i hired a third party to check out his alibi . dylan : on account of the accident ? paul : correct . dylan : so what 'd you find out ? paul : well , according to them , neil was exactly where he said he was supposed to be -- in the canadian rockies . dylan : were there any witnesses to place him there ? paul : there were credit - card charges for airline tickets , meals , hotel rooms . dylan : right , but no witnesses . all those things are great ways to cover your track if you 're planning something . paul : yes . but knowing neil as i do , he -- he takes the high road . i mean , usually . dylan : paul , i get that you 're trying to stay objective , and i love that about you . i love that you give everybody the benefit of the doubt , but you 're giving neil the benefit of too many doubts . paul : [ chuckles ] you know , for someone who turned down a job at the police department , you seem to put a lot of effort and energy into this case . does sharon know about this ? dylan : [ sighs ] sharon checked herself into fairview . sharon : i 'm thrilled to be having a child with dylan , sharing that beautiful experience with him . and that 's why i checked myself in . i just want to be as healthy and serene as possible when the baby arrives . dr. anderson : that 's laudable , sharon . when dylan brought you here yesterday , he struck me as a kind , caring man . sharon : he really is . well , i 'm glad that you agree with my decision to come here . dr. anderson : well , i think it 's a great chance for you to reflect on where you 've been and what you want this next phase of your life to look like . sharon : my thoughts exactly . dr. anderson : you know , i 've been looking over your file , reading up on your previous stays . now , last time you were here , you were involved with a man named nick . sharon : nick newman , yes . that 's my ex - husband . he 's the father of my two children . and he and dylan are half - brothers . dr. anderson : and how long have you and dylan been together ? sharon : not that long . when he moved to town two years ago , we became very good friends , and my daughter faith just adores him . dr. anderson : sounds lovely . sharon : and then this past spring , i found myself in this terrible situation . i was being accused of something i did n't do , and dylan , he really fought for me . he stood by me . he 's done so much for me , dr . anderson . i really just -- i do n't want to disappoint him . dr. anderson : well , how do you think you could disappoint him ? sharon : you know , i - i do n't know why i said that . that was a poor choice of words . dr. anderson : do you think your illness put too much strain on your marriage with nick ? are you worried the same thing will happen with dylan ? sharon : it 's not the same at all . um , i made mistakes with nick , mistakes that he could not forgive . and this relationship , it 's different . dylan understands me in a way that nick never could , and he loves and accepts me for who i am . dr. anderson : sharon , your words are strong and confident , but i 'm sensing a lot of concern underneath . is there a reason for you to be this anxious ? sharon : actually ... there is . paul : so sharon went off her meds again ? dylan : she read something online that spooked her , you know , and how the medication she 's taking could affect her pregnancy . paul : yeah , well ... i can understand why she would be concerned . it 's scary . dylan : yeah , of course , but , you know , she should have talked to the doctor about it and not acted impulsively . it was actually mariah who figured out she was acting a little off and confronted her . sharon admitted she went off her medication . well , she went back on her medication , but she 's still feeling fragile and decided that she needs to focus on her health . paul : by checking into a place like fairview ? dylan : [ sighs ] paul : i can understand how difficult this decision must have been for her . but i also can see ... her commitment to you and your child . that 's -- that 's admirable . dylan : i just want her to get the help she needs . paul : fairview 's an excellent place . i mean , the people there are first rate . my sister , you know , your aunt patty has been a patient there for some time now . dylan : i know . you mentioned that . paul : yeah . dylan : and if you chose the facility , then it has credibility in my eyes . paul : the fact that sharon felt she needed to go there shows how far she 's come . sharon : if i seem anxious , it 's because i ran into someone i know here , another patient . patty williams . dr. anderson : well , why did running into patty make you feel anxious ? sharon : she -- she hurt some people i know . and i do n't mean to stand in judgment . i know i 'm in no position to do that , but it 's just -- it 's a painful reminder of how wrong things have gone in my life in the past . dr. anderson : you 're in a completely different place now , sharon . your choice to come here to fairview demonstrates how committed you are to being healthy and stable , and in turn building a healthier relationship with dylan in which to raise a child . sharon : you 're right . nothing 's more important to me than that . adam : i 've got information about paragon for you . phyllis : gabe , could you please just give us a second ? we were in the middle of something . adam : tell her it 's important . jack : honey , can you just give us a second , please ? phyllis : fine . [ cell phone rings ] phyllis : hello , fred . adam : so , i looked into this fred character . jack : and ? adam : and he bugged out . the trailer in the woods is empty . jack : oh , wow . there 's nothing shady about that . adam : no , no , not at all . i do n't suspect he 'll be coming around here looking for a free meal anytime soon . jack : any sign that this guy is more than just fisherman fred , a lonely widower who 's writing his memoirs ? adam : no , not exactly . but still -- jack : still we have to be careful . i understand that . you do n't have to sell it . i heard everything you said , and i 've decided you 're right . adam : thank you , jack . jack : frankly i 'm glad he 's gotten out of here . ever since we talked , i 've had a bad feeling about this whole thing . adam : phyllis suddenly befriending this guy ? jack : it 's just out of character . she does n't make friends easily . adam : well , i got a theory on that . jack : i 'm talking about fred . i wonder about this guy , what kind of magical pixie dust is he spreading . phyllis does n't open herself up to strangers that way . phyllis : you 're canceling for dinner ? ian : i am dreadfully sorry for the late notice . phyllis : oh , well , i 'm sorry , too . i was looking forward to it . ian : as was i , dear lady . [ chuckles ] phyllis : are you okay ? ian : i 'm all right physically , but , uh , you know , it 's this book deadline that i have . [ sighs ] i 'm probably gon na have to pull a few all - nighters and ... phyllis : wow , i thought you said that you had a whole month to turn something in . ian : publishers can be fickle , and so can the muse . and you fulfill that role admirably for me . you gave me so much fresh inspiration . phyllis : i 'm flattered . why does it sound like i lost the job ? ian : oh , look at the time . i really must go . sorry , phyllis . thank you again for that lovely invitation . phyllis : well , fred just ditched us for dinner . adam : huh . phyllis : why do i get the feeling this is not a surprise to you ? adam : like i mentioned last night , uh , you know , making friends with strangers -- probably never a good idea , especially right -- phyllis : you 're not gon na get away with this , gabe . adam : i do n't know what you 're talking a phyllis : what did you do ? how did you get to fred ? what did you threaten him with so that he would cancel dinner ? adam : phyllis , i do n't know what you 're talking about . phyllis : no , see , that 's bull . you coerced him somehow . this man is lonely and has lost his wife ! jack : before you go off on him you need to know i agree with him 100 % . i 'm sorry you 're disappointed . i 'm glad this evening was called off . phyllis : this was your idea ! jack : i have reconsidered . phyllis : see , i do n't even believe what i 'm hearing . i invited this man to eat with us , to share a meal with us . what did you think he was gon na do ? stab you with his fork ? jack : i am not going to apologize for wanting to keep my family safe . out of nowhere , this fred shows up in our lives at the same time we 're dealing with this paragon threat . adam : at the risk of sounding like i 'm repeating myself , we do n't know where this threat 's gon na come from . we do n't know what form it 's gon na take , okay ? it could be somebody taking a family member , kidnapping them , holding them for ransom . phyllis : kidnapping ? you guys are off your rails . do you really think he 's involved in some conspiracy theory ? jack : it seems like too much of a coincidence . phyllis : i approached him , not the other way around ! jack : red , listen to me . phyllis : okay , this is out of control . you 're both out of control . i 'm out . [ door opens ] jack : okay , i do n't know what else you learned about this guy . whatever it is , tell me now . paul : you know , i would like to think that somebody as smart as neil would walk away from a tragedy having learned something , that he would n't waste his life obsessing over revenge . dylan : but you 're thinking logically . neil may not be . he 's definitely capable of acting out . paul : [ sighs ] you mean like when he grabbed the wheel of nikki 's car . dylan : right . then you agree that it 's possible colin is right . neil could have set up devon despite that nice speech he made at his wedding . paul : yeah , i could see where neil would have plans of his own that no one else knew about . including colin . gwen : when hilary 's back home safe , hopefully she can tell us what happened . you know , but for someone to fly her out of the island and not report it to anybody -- who would do that ? devon : whoever pushed her off the trail . gwen : but it does n't make any sense . if someone wanted to hurt her , or worse ... neil : we 're getting way ahead of ourselves . we 're gon na drive each other crazy speculating . you know what ? i have an appointment that i have to attend to , so how about i check in with you both later ? devon : sure . thanks . neil : yeah . okay . devon : what is it ? gwen : something 's not right . paul : hey , neil . hold on a second . neil : yeah ? oh , hey , paul . um , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i would talk , but i 'm -- i 'm in a rush . paul : i just want to ask you how things are going . neil : how do you think things are going , paul ? i am desperate to find the person who did this to hilary . neil : devon told me about the plane from bvi landing at dallas . paul : right , i - i wish i had something to add . but there is something else i want to talk to you about . neil : oh , yeah ? really ? what -- what 's that ? paul : well , i just found out that dylan confronted you . and , uh , i had no idea he was planning to do that . i think he overstepped . and i told him so . neil : well , paul , you know , you have a very specific reason for wanting me to pay a price of some kind . paul : listen , neil , not for something you did n't do . neil : it must seem very obvious to dylan , right , the blind guy who gets his sight back at the very moment that his wife is cheating on him with his son . i got to admit , it feels okay that i 'm being accused instead of my son . you know , i know that devon is putting up a brave front , but i can tell that it 's taking a toll on him . the report of that plane , it 's gotten his hopes up . paul : right , well , now that we have a decent lead , this case could break wide open very soon . neil : i ca n't even imagine anyone getting away with this , you know ? even the best criminals can make a critical mistake . paul : you know what ? it 's only a matter of time . neil : yeah . it 's only a ... matter of time . devon : what do you think is not right with neil ? gwen : it 's the way he 's acting , or not acting , rather . i mean , he says he 's drinking again . and then he 's so nonchalant and calm about it . he says he 's not struggling in the least . devon : well , gwen , i just think he does n't want you to worry . gwen : but if he really backslid , would n't we notice ? i mean , he says everything 's fine and everything 's wrapped up in a nice , neat bow , but does that sound real to you ? devon : i talked to him the other day , and he sounded sincere . gwen : really ? devon : to be honest , i just think that he 's ashamed of what he did , and that 's why he 's covering up what he 's going through . and on top of all that , he 's blaming himself for everything that 's happened . gwen : to hilary , you mean ? devon : well , yeah , and to me . he said it 's stuck in his head that he 's cursed our marriage , and i just think he started feeling guilty about it and his demons took over and , you know , here we are now . gwen : yeah , i picked up on that , too . something 's weighing on him . well , i told him that he ca n't put this on himself . he 's not responsible for hilary disappearing . she disappeared for a whole ' nother reason that we do n't know yet , and i 'm not gon na rest until i find out what that reason is . [ cell phone rings ] gwen : excuse me . i have to take this . gwen : of course . dr. anderson : you 're not falling into old patterns . in the grand scheme of things , you 're just dealing with a minor problem . that 's cause for celebration . sharon : i 'll remember that . dr. anderson : well , this has been very productive . let 's meet again tomorrow . same time ? sharon : sounds good . patty : how was your session ? sharon : that 's really none of your business . patty : you do n't have to be that way . sharon : let me by , please , patty . patty : why are you being so mean ? i mean , we 're in the same boat . we can help each other . sharon : i do n't need your help . patty : why are you being so nasty ? sharon : i 'm here by choice . you 're not . i did n't come here to make friends , okay ? i just want to get healthy so i can get back to my own life . now if you 'll excuse me ... patty : dr. anderson . dr. anderson : what is it , patty ? patty : [ sighs ] there 's a problem with another patient . sharon newman . ian : i am not available . please leave a message . adam : you better have done what i told you to do -- cleared out of that trailer . get back to me . phyllis : fred ? fred ? phyllis : fred ? ian : `` we will see each other again . i 'll explain more then . this is n't goodbye . fred . `` jack : phyllis ? phyllis ! i thought i might find you here . wh -- where 's fred ? phyllis : well , he 's gone . he 's obviously taken everything with him . you did this , did n't you ? jack : i had nothing to do with fred packing his things and taking off . phyllis : okay , do n't do that , playing semantics . that is very victor . and even if you got gabe to do this , it 's the same thing . jack : i did n't . i swear . i did , however , ask gabe to investigate the security threat against our family , which becomes all the more important now that we know victor is gon na be no help at all . if the worst thing that came of this is some random fisherman had his feelings hurt , i can live with that . this -- this is suspicious ! i do n't like this ! maybe fred is up to something . maybe that 's why he decided not to come to our house . maybe we were thwarting some plan of his . phyllis : oh , damn it . not everything is a plot . you can not trample on people 's lives and mess with their heads just because gabe 's got you freaking out . jack : if i am freaking out , it 's for very good reason . phyllis : prove it . jack : okay . marco got a message out to someone to tell him where he could find marisa . that person is in genoa city right now looking for her . phyllis : that is why i 'm taking this all so seriously . neil : hilary , if paul were to find you here , you know what he 'd do , right ? you know what anyone would do . they would freak out . they would -- they would say that i 'm responsible for your fall -- me . and i 'm not . and ... i know i 'm not . and you know i 'm not . but you need to wake up . and you need to be able to tell everybody that i 'm a good guy . maybe ... maybe i 'm not a good guy . maybe i 'm folding . [ sighs ] enough is enough here . i ... i got to do something here . gwen : hey , devon , it 's gwen . i 've had a bad feeling ever since we saw neil this morning . devon : i 've known neil a lot longer than you have , and i really just think that he 's on edge because of everything that 's going on with hilary . gwen : yeah , but that bad feeling i had -- it 's worse . devon : why is it worse ? where did you take off to ? gwen : i followed him . devon : gwen , that 's not necessary . gwen : but he went to the hospital . devon : well , there you go . that 's where his appointment was . gwen : he came out after 10 minutes . what kind of appointment is that short ? devon : i do n't know . maybe the doctor canceled on him . gwen : he was in a real hurry when he came out . devon : i do n't know what you want me to say to you . if you really want to know where neil is , call him . gwen : i know where he is . i followed him to this house outside of town . devon : what house ? gwen : well , i 'm parked down the road out of sight , so i ca n't actually see the house , but it 's 1233 lakeside . devon : the lake house . gwen : you know it ? devon : yeah . when neil and hilary got married , he bought it for her as a surprise . it was supposed to be her dream home . phyllis : but marco 's in prison . jack : victor and i are each seeing what we can find out about this . in the meantime , that happens at the same time that this paragon threat is breaking , and then this stranger walks into our lives ? phyllis , i ca n't ignore that . i - i know this sounds crazy , but what if marco sent fred to draw you in , to let your guard down ? phyllis : oh , my god . marco . is this ever gon na end ? [ cell phone rings ] adam : well , it took you long enough . you out of that trailer yet ? ian : breathe , my friend . breathe in , breathe out . in , out . adam : tell you something . i 'm gon na start breathing fire if you do n't start talking , okay ? where are you ? ian : relax , dear boy . i 've left the great outdoors behind . adam : let me rephrase the question . where are you right now ? ian : not far . not far at all , in fact . adam : i 'm gon na call you back when you 're done jerking me around . ian : psst ! howdy , neighbor . [ chuckles ] neil : all of our futures are on the line . yours , mine , and devon 's . hey . hey , if you can hear me ... you 've got to wake up . you 've got to wake up ! [ tires screech ] patty : sharon and i have known each other for a long time . i tried to be nice , but she does n't want to be my friend . dr. anderson : remember when you first came here , patty ? there were a lot of changes , new rules to follow . now , i 'm sure it took you some time to get used to things . that 's what sharon 's going through right now . she 's just focusing on her own issues . now , if she wants to keep to herself for a while , you should not take it personally . patty : but i do . dr. anderson : remember when we talked about empathy ? try putting yourself in sharon 's place . she feels lonely , just like you do . but eventually she 's gon na need someone to talk to and to trust . sharon : i miss you so much . dylan : i miss you , too . how are things going ? sharon : well , i spent most of the morning in therapy . dylan : with the doctor we met last night ? sharon : dr. anderson . i like her . she really listens . dylan : well , that 's great . sharon : yeah , i feel encouraged after talking to her . i know i made the right decision coming here . dylan : good , just , uh , stay focused on why you 're doing this . for yourself and our little one . sharon : for us , dylan . for our future . [ pounding on door ] neil : hey ! look who it is . um ... how 'd you know that i was here ? devon : you mean in the house that you were planning on turning into hilary 's dream home ? neil : yeah . devon : dad , it seems like you 've been lying to a lot of people lately . what are you doing here ? are you ready to tell me the truth ? [ next_on ] marisa : you want me to sleep with luca even though i 'm in love with your grandson ? victor : mm - hmm . abby : victoria confirmed that you two teamed up to try and keep me out of the newman loop . sage : [ groans ] | jack tells phyllis that he suspects `` fred `` was sent by marco to help him get her guard down , so that he can continue to ruin their lives . adam tells ian to stay away from phyllis or he will make sure that he returns to jail . ian moves out of the trailer in the woods and into the apartment next door to adam and chelsea . sharon gets scared when she discovers that patty is also at fairview . dylan tells paul that colin told him that neil paid him to set up devon and make him think he slept with a prostitute . dylan thinks that neil is responsible for hilary 's disappearance . paul is hesitant to believe dylan at first , but then he talks to neil and fears that dylan is right . thinking that neil is acting strangely , gwen follows him to the lake house and later calls devon and tells him neil 's whereabouts . neil begins to feel guilty over what he has done and decides to put an end to the whole thing . neil is nervous when devon arrives at the lake house and asks him to tell him the truth . | <s>[INST] paul : so , what did kevin find when he hacked into colin 's bank records ? dylan : uh , there was a payment to an escort service . paul : okay . so , colin 's a sleaze . we knew that . what else ? dylan : well , it turns out that colin paid the escort to spend the night with devon at his bachelor party . i tracked the , uh , the escort down , and she admitted that she 'd lied to devon the next morning . paul : she lied ? about what ? dylan : she lied about saying that they had sex , and they really did n't 'cause devon passed out and did n't remember , and he had to take her word for it . paul : oh . nice . anything else ? dylan : well , colin strolls into the coffeehouse . so i ask him , and he insists that i 'm looking in the wrong direction , that he set the deal up with somebody else . paul : who ? dylan : a person who does not want to see devon and hilary live happily ever after . and who is that one person ? that 's neil . so , when i confronted neil -- paul : wait . you what ? gwen : stop me if this is too personal . neil : what ? i 'm -- i 'm an open book . gwen : i was just wondering how your meetings were going . how you been holding up ? neil : i 'm good . yeah , i nipped it in the bud . no more cravings . gwen : really ? neil : yeah , really . talked to my sponsor . i went to a meeting last night . you know , talking things through , that -- that really helps a lot . gwen : and that 's all it took to get back on track ? neil : hey . i 'm not 100 % . that 's true . and i deal with this addiction struggle every single day . i already told you i slipped . but i 'm taking the necessary steps , you know , to resolve that . i 'm feeling a lot better , gwen . i am . devon : that 's good to hear you say that , 'cause i have some news about hilary . patty : hey there , stranger ! hi ! sharon : patty ? patty : yeah . sharon : what are you doing here ? patty : i got transferred back . paulie arranged it . sharon : oh . how long ago was this ? patty : uh , a few weeks . my mind is so much clearer than when i was sent to that awful prison . here i get more freedom . well , some , anyway . but the better i get , the more privileges they 're giving me . is n't that great ? sharon : uh , yeah , that 's great . patty : and paul comes to visit quite a bit , but i have n't heard a peep out of jack . what 's he up to these days ? sharon : uh , you know , i have to go . i have an appointment with my doctor . patty : oh . okay . we 'll catch up later , then . dr. anderson : oh , good morning , sharon . oh , right on time . how 'd you sleep ? sharon : um , good , actually . dr. anderson : wonderful . are you ready for your first therapy session ? we can go into the conference room , if you 'd like . sharon : no , here 's fine . i do n't , uh -- you know , no one 's here . i do n't need formal therapy . dr. anderson : you do n't ? sharon : no , as you know , i 'm here voluntarily . i just want to get back on track with my meds in a safe environment and do what 's best for my baby . dr. anderson : okay . well , let 's talk about that . how do you feel about being a mother again ? phyllis : let 's go with the fish . i know that 's something fred would like . i think it 'd be kind of awkward if we served a roast to find out he does n't like meat . i tell you , though , mrs. martinez , she would have such a tough time -- jack : i know you 're excited about having this guy over , about introducing us , but i 'm starting to think this is not such a hot idea . phyllis : since when ? jack : since i 've had a chance to think about it . you do n't even know this guy . phyllis : so ? jack : so why are you so excited about this dinner ? phyllis : is this -- i 'm sorry . you were all for this last night . jack : i 'm just a little surprised . you do n't take to strangers this quickly . phyllis : you talking or gabe bingham talking ? jack : no , do n't do that . phyllis : no , do n't tell me that you are feeding into this paranoia about this paragon drivel . jack : `` a , `` it is not drivel . phyllis : if you say so . jack : and `` b , `` gabe makes some good points . phyllis : [ scoffs ] please ! fred is totally harmless . jack : you do n't know that . phyllis : are you telling me that you think he 's involved in some conspiracy theory to topple jabot ? the man is a fisherman ! jack : he could be a lot of other things that we do n't know about . phyllis : true or false -- i am a good judge of character and have excellent instincts about people . jack : not always . phyllis : jack . if you actually met the man , you would see how silly it is to consider that he 's any kind of threat . he is a lost soul out there without a wife . and after everything you and i have been through , i was compelled by that . i want him to see that life goes on beyond this tragedy and that help and support can come from unlikely sources . so can we please put aside this paragon talk and focus on showing a little bit of compassion toward a fellow human being ? adam : what the hell do you think you 're doing accepting a dinner invitation from phyllis ? ian : manners . the social contract . that which separates us from the animals , dear boy . it would have been rude to decline . i am many things , but i 'm not rude . adam : guess what ? this is n't a game . ian : really ? but i 'm having so much fun . [ laughs ] adam : your friendship with phyllis , it ends now , okay ? i 'm not gon na let you blow up my carefully laid plan on a whim . ian : oh , that 's what you think this is ? a whim ? adam : no , actually , i think that phyllis has a very enchanting smile and i think you get a thrill from being around her . ian : i ca n't argue with that . adam : you 're jeopardizing everything , the whole damn project . ian : stop worrying . i 'm not gon na break bread with jack abbott . but in future , we have to be open to the tantalizing possibilities that may arise . we have to be able to adapt . adam : no more improvising , okay ? i mean it . ian : even if it enhances a plan ? i mean , after all , revenge ... adam : ... is a dish best served cold . yeah , i 've heard that before . ian : oh , that aphorism is woefully inadequate . revenge is like making love to a beautiful woman . adam : oh . ian : i mean , if you 're simply trying to get it over with , why bother ? it should be savored . every shift and nuance . adam : now i got just a bunch of pictures in my head that i wish i did n't have . listen , how about [ sighs ] a little less savoring , okay , and a lot more security ? how about that ? ian : we can have both , and we will . in the meantime , i 'll figure out some way to bow out gracefully so that i do n't offend phyllis . i would n't want her to stop visiting . it 's so lonely out here in the woods . adam : no more visits from phyllis . you 're gon na do what you 're told . you 're gon na grab all your stuff and you 're gon na leave . you 're gon na do it immediately . you 're gon na set up shop somewhere else . is that clear ? ian : `` is that clear ? `` lo , the tyrant deems how i ought behave . perhaps he first stumbles into the grave . adam : [ chuckles ] what the hell is that ? a threat ? ian : it just came to me . adam : shakespeare ? ian : maybe . there 's a good chance i made it up . what you should know is , i 'm not comfortable with you ordering me around . adam : what you should know , ian , is that i 'm very comfortable with you being uncomfortable . maybe it 'll remind you who got you out of prison in the first place . ian : how could i ever forget ? adam : yeah , well , you do n't forget , all right ? you keep your eye on the prize . that 's taking down victor . otherwise you 're gon na end up at the mercy of a bunch of people who wo n't be showing you any . do you understand me ? gwen : so , this witness in virgin gorda . devon : yeah , they said that they saw a woman on a gurney being loaded onto a plane right after hilary went missing . neil : so you said you have new information . devon : well , we know now that that plane landed in dallas . neil : that 's huge . that means that hilary could be in texas . have you talked to the pilot ? devon : no , not yet , but we 're just -- we 're still trying to piece things together . gwen : have you learned anything else ? devon : [ sighs ] yeah . that the plane refueled and then took off . but this time , the pilot did n't file a flight plan , so we do n't know where it was headed . and then 24 hours later , the plane returned to dallas . so if hilary was on the flight when it left dallas ... gwen : she could be anywhere . neil : are you using your own people in all this , or do you have the police involved ? devon : i took this to paul williams , and michael 's doing everything he can . and meanwhile , the island cops are fighting a ruling trying to get me extradited back there , so i have to stay hands off or else the prosecutor will accuse me of trying to manipulate evidence . neil : yeah , man , man , this has got to be so frustrating . devon : it 's extremely frustrating 'cause there 's literally nothing that i can do right now to help find my wife . neil : has to give you hope . i mean , it gives me hope that hilary could have survived and that this whole thing could be over very soon . devon : yeah . paul : i think it was a real mistake to accuse someone like neil winters solely based on the word of a convicted felon like colin . i mean , especially now that we know he was trying to blackmail devon with the video . dylan : was neil gon na use that video to wreck devon 's marriage ? paul : according to colin . really ? i mean , we have no other corroborating evidence . dylan : but given how devon betrayed his father ... paul : look , i 've suspected neil from the very beginning . being involved in the disappearance of his ex - wife , the jilted husband , he was a person of interest . and i did n't want anybody to accuse me of any impropriety in the investigation , so i hired a third party to check out his alibi . dylan : on account of the accident ? paul : correct . dylan : so what 'd you find out ? paul : well , according to them , neil was exactly where he said he was supposed to be -- in the canadian rockies . dylan : were there any witnesses to place him there ? paul : there were credit - card charges for airline tickets , meals , hotel rooms . dylan : right , but no witnesses . all those things are great ways to cover your track if you 're planning something . paul : yes . but knowing neil as i do , he -- he takes the high road . i mean , usually . dylan : paul , i get that you 're trying to stay objective , and i love that about you . i love that you give everybody the benefit of the doubt , but you 're giving neil the benefit of too many doubts . paul : [ chuckles ] you know , for someone who turned down a job at the police department , you seem to put a lot of effort and energy into this case . does sharon know about this ? dylan : [ sighs ] sharon checked herself into fairview . sharon : i 'm thrilled to be having a child with dylan , sharing that beautiful experience with him . and that 's why i checked myself in . i just want to be as healthy and serene as possible when the baby arrives . dr. anderson : that 's laudable , sharon . when dylan brought you here yesterday , he struck me as a kind , caring man . sharon : he really is . well , i 'm glad that you agree with my decision to come here . dr. anderson : well , i think it 's a great chance for you to reflect on where you 've been and what you want this next phase of your life to look like . sharon : my thoughts exactly . dr. anderson : you know , i 've been looking over your file , reading up on your previous stays . now , last time you were here , you were involved with a man named nick . sharon : nick newman , yes . that 's my ex - husband . he 's the father of my two children . and he and dylan are half - brothers . dr. anderson : and how long have you and dylan been together ? sharon : not that long . when he moved to town two years ago , we became very good friends , and my daughter faith just adores him . dr. anderson : sounds lovely . sharon : and then this past spring , i found myself in this terrible situation . i was being accused of something i did n't do , and dylan , he really fought for me . he stood by me . he 's done so much for me , dr . anderson . i really just -- i do n't want to disappoint him . dr. anderson : well , how do you think you could disappoint him ? sharon : you know , i - i do n't know why i said that . that was a poor choice of words . dr. anderson : do you think your illness put too much strain on your marriage with nick ? are you worried the same thing will happen with dylan ? sharon : it 's not the same at all . um , i made mistakes with nick , mistakes that he could not forgive . and this relationship , it 's different . dylan understands me in a way that nick never could , and he loves and accepts me for who i am . dr. anderson : sharon , your words are strong and confident , but i 'm sensing a lot of concern underneath . is there a reason for you to be this anxious ? sharon : actually ... there is . paul : so sharon went off her meds again ? dylan : she read something online that spooked her , you know , and how the medication she 's taking could affect her pregnancy . paul : yeah , well ... i can understand why she would be concerned . it 's scary . dylan : yeah , of course , but , you know , she should have talked to the doctor about it and not acted impulsively . it was actually mariah who figured out she was acting a little off and confronted her . sharon admitted she went off her medication . well , she went back on her medication , but she 's still feeling fragile and decided that she needs to focus on her health . paul : by checking into a place like fairview ? dylan : [ sighs ] paul : i can understand how difficult this decision must have been for her . but i also can see ... her commitment to you and your child . that 's -- that 's admirable . dylan : i just want her to get the help she needs . paul : fairview 's an excellent place . i mean , the people there are first rate . my sister , you know , your aunt patty has been a patient there for some time now . dylan : i know . you mentioned that . paul : yeah . dylan : and if you chose the facility , then it has credibility in my eyes . paul : the fact that sharon felt she needed to go there shows how far she 's come . sharon : if i seem anxious , it 's because i ran into someone i know here , another patient . patty williams . dr. anderson : well , why did running into patty make you feel anxious ? sharon : she -- she hurt some people i know . and i do n't mean to stand in judgment . i know i 'm in no position to do that , but it 's just -- it 's a painful reminder of how wrong things have gone in my life in the past . dr. anderson : you 're in a completely different place now , sharon . your choice to come here to fairview demonstrates how committed you are to being healthy and stable , and in turn building a healthier relationship with dylan in which to raise a child . sharon : you 're right . nothing 's more important to me than that . adam : i 've got information about paragon for you . phyllis : gabe , could you please just give us a second ? we were in the middle of something . adam : tell her it 's important . jack : honey , can you just give us a second , please ? phyllis : fine . [ cell phone rings ] phyllis : hello , fred . adam : so , i looked into this fred character . jack : and ? adam : and he bugged out . the trailer in the woods is empty . jack : oh , wow . there 's nothing shady about that . adam : no , no , not at all . i do n't suspect he 'll be coming around here looking for a free meal anytime soon . jack : any sign that this guy is more than just fisherman fred , a lonely widower who 's writing his memoirs ? adam : no , not exactly . but still -- jack : still we have to be careful . i understand that . you do n't have to sell it . i heard everything you said , and i 've decided you 're right . adam : thank you , jack . jack : frankly i 'm glad he 's gotten out of here . ever since we talked , i 've had a bad feeling about this whole thing . adam : phyllis suddenly befriending this guy ? jack : it 's just out of character . she does n't make friends easily . adam : well , i got a theory on that . jack : i 'm talking about fred . i wonder about this guy , what kind of magical pixie dust is he spreading . phyllis does n't open herself up to strangers that way . phyllis : you 're canceling for dinner ? ian : i am dreadfully sorry for the late notice . phyllis : oh , well , i 'm sorry , too . i was looking forward to it . ian : as was i , dear lady . [ chuckles ] phyllis : are you okay ? ian : i 'm all right physically , but , uh , you know , it 's this book deadline that i have . [ sighs ] i 'm probably gon na have to pull a few all - nighters and ... phyllis : wow , i thought you said that you had a whole month to turn something in . ian : publishers can be fickle , and so can the muse . and you fulfill that role admirably for me . you gave me so much fresh inspiration . phyllis : i 'm flattered . why does it sound like i lost the job ? ian : oh , look at the time . i really must go . sorry , phyllis . thank you again for that lovely invitation . phyllis : well , fred just ditched us for dinner . adam : huh . phyllis : why do i get the feeling this is not a surprise to you ? adam : like i mentioned last night , uh , you know , making friends with strangers -- probably never a good idea , especially right -- phyllis : you 're not gon na get away with this , gabe . adam : i do n't know what you 're talking a phyllis : what did you do ? how did you get to fred ? what did you threaten him with so that he would cancel dinner ? adam : phyllis , i do n't know what you 're talking about . phyllis : no , see , that 's bull . you coerced him somehow . this man is lonely and has lost his wife ! jack : before you go off on him you need to know i agree with him 100 % . i 'm sorry you 're disappointed . i 'm glad this evening was called off . phyllis : this was your idea ! jack : i have reconsidered . phyllis : see , i do n't even believe what i 'm hearing . i invited this man to eat with us , to share a meal with us . what did you think he was gon na do ? stab you with his fork ? jack : i am not going to apologize for wanting to keep my family safe . out of nowhere , this fred shows up in our lives at the same time we 're dealing with this paragon threat . adam : at the risk of sounding like i 'm repeating myself , we do n't know where this threat 's gon na come from . we do n't know what form it 's gon na take , okay ? it could be somebody taking a family member , kidnapping them , holding them for ransom . phyllis : kidnapping ? you guys are off your rails . do you really think he 's involved in some conspiracy theory ? jack : it seems like too much of a coincidence . phyllis : i approached him , not the other way around ! jack : red , listen to me . phyllis : okay , this is out of control . you 're both out of control . i 'm out . [ door opens ] jack : okay , i do n't know what else you learned about this guy . whatever it is , tell me now . paul : you know , i would like to think that somebody as smart as neil would walk away from a tragedy having learned something , that he would n't waste his life obsessing over revenge . dylan : but you 're thinking logically . neil may not be . he 's definitely capable of acting out . paul : [ sighs ] you mean like when he grabbed the wheel of nikki 's car . dylan : right . then you agree that it 's possible colin is right . neil could have set up devon despite that nice speech he made at his wedding . paul : yeah , i could see where neil would have plans of his own that no one else knew about . including colin . gwen : when hilary 's back home safe , hopefully she can tell us what happened . you know , but for someone to fly her out of the island and not report it to anybody -- who would do that ? devon : whoever pushed her off the trail . gwen : but it does n't make any sense . if someone wanted to hurt her , or worse ... neil : we 're getting way ahead of ourselves . we 're gon na drive each other crazy speculating . you know what ? i have an appointment that i have to attend to , so how about i check in with you both later ? devon : sure . thanks . neil : yeah . okay . devon : what is it ? gwen : something 's not right . paul : hey , neil . hold on a second . neil : yeah ? oh , hey , paul . um , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i would talk , but i 'm -- i 'm in a rush . paul : i just want to ask you how things are going . neil : how do you think things are going , paul ? i am desperate to find the person who did this to hilary . neil : devon told me about the plane from bvi landing at dallas . paul : right , i - i wish i had something to add . but there is something else i want to talk to you about . neil : oh , yeah ? really ? what -- what 's that ? paul : well , i just found out that dylan confronted you . and , uh , i had no idea he was planning to do that . i think he overstepped . and i told him so . neil : well , paul , you know , you have a very specific reason for wanting me to pay a price of some kind . paul : listen , neil , not for something you did n't do . neil : it must seem very obvious to dylan , right , the blind guy who gets his sight back at the very moment that his wife is cheating on him with his son . i got to admit , it feels okay that i 'm being accused instead of my son . you know , i know that devon is putting up a brave front , but i can tell that it 's taking a toll on him . the report of that plane , it 's gotten his hopes up . paul : right , well , now that we have a decent lead , this case could break wide open very soon . neil : i ca n't even imagine anyone getting away with this , you know ? even the best criminals can make a critical mistake . paul : you know what ? it 's only a matter of time . neil : yeah . it 's only a ... matter of time . devon : what do you think is not right with neil ? gwen : it 's the way he 's acting , or not acting , rather . i mean , he says he 's drinking again . and then he 's so nonchalant and calm about it . he says he 's not struggling in the least . devon : well , gwen , i just think he does n't want you to worry . gwen : but if he really backslid , would n't we notice ? i mean , he says everything 's fine and everything 's wrapped up in a nice , neat bow , but does that sound real to you ? devon : i talked to him the other day , and he sounded sincere . gwen : really ? devon : to be honest , i just think that he 's ashamed of what he did , and that 's why he 's covering up what he 's going through . and on top of all that , he 's blaming himself for everything that 's happened . gwen : to hilary , you mean ? devon : well , yeah , and to me . he said it 's stuck in his head that he 's cursed our marriage , and i just think he started feeling guilty about it and his demons took over and , you know , here we are now . gwen : yeah , i picked up on that , too . something 's weighing on him . well , i told him that he ca n't put this on himself . he 's not responsible for hilary disappearing . she disappeared for a whole ' nother reason that we do n't know yet , and i 'm not gon na rest until i find out what that reason is . [ cell phone rings ] gwen : excuse me . i have to take this . gwen : of course . dr. anderson : you 're not falling into old patterns . in the grand scheme of things , you 're just dealing with a minor problem . that 's cause for celebration . sharon : i 'll remember that . dr. anderson : well , this has been very productive . let 's meet again tomorrow . same time ? sharon : sounds good . patty : how was your session ? sharon : that 's really none of your business . patty : you do n't have to be that way . sharon : let me by , please , patty . patty : why are you being so mean ? i mean , we 're in the same boat . we can help each other . sharon : i do n't need your help . patty : why are you being so nasty ? sharon : i 'm here by choice . you 're not . i did n't come here to make friends , okay ? i just want to get healthy so i can get back to my own life . now if you 'll excuse me ... patty : dr. anderson . dr. anderson : what is it , patty ? patty : [ sighs ] there 's a problem with another patient . sharon newman . ian : i am not available . please leave a message . adam : you better have done what i told you to do -- cleared out of that trailer . get back to me . phyllis : fred ? fred ? phyllis : fred ? ian : `` we will see each other again . i 'll explain more then . this is n't goodbye . fred . `` jack : phyllis ? phyllis ! i thought i might find you here . wh -- where 's fred ? phyllis : well , he 's gone . he 's obviously taken everything with him . you did this , did n't you ? jack : i had nothing to do with fred packing his things and taking off . phyllis : okay , do n't do that , playing semantics . that is very victor . and even if you got gabe to do this , it 's the same thing . jack : i did n't . i swear . i did , however , ask gabe to investigate the security threat against our family , which becomes all the more important now that we know victor is gon na be no help at all . if the worst thing that came of this is some random fisherman had his feelings hurt , i can live with that . this -- this is suspicious ! i do n't like this ! maybe fred is up to something . maybe that 's why he decided not to come to our house . maybe we were thwarting some plan of his . phyllis : oh , damn it . not everything is a plot . you can not trample on people 's lives and mess with their heads just because gabe 's got you freaking out . jack : if i am freaking out , it 's for very good reason . phyllis : prove it . jack : okay . marco got a message out to someone to tell him where he could find marisa . that person is in genoa city right now looking for her . phyllis : that is why i 'm taking this all so seriously . neil : hilary , if paul were to find you here , you know what he 'd do , right ? you know what anyone would do . they would freak out . they would -- they would say that i 'm responsible for your fall -- me . and i 'm not . and ... i know i 'm not . and you know i 'm not . but you need to wake up . and you need to be able to tell everybody that i 'm a good guy . maybe ... maybe i 'm not a good guy . maybe i 'm folding . [ sighs ] enough is enough here . i ... i got to do something here . gwen : hey , devon , it 's gwen . i 've had a bad feeling ever since we saw neil this morning . devon : i 've known neil a lot longer than you have , and i really just think that he 's on edge because of everything that 's going on with hilary . gwen : yeah , but that bad feeling i had -- it 's worse . devon : why is it worse ? where did you take off to ? gwen : i followed him . devon : gwen , that 's not necessary . gwen : but he went to the hospital . devon : well , there you go . that 's where his appointment was . gwen : he came out after 10 minutes . what kind of appointment is that short ? devon : i do n't know . maybe the doctor canceled on him . gwen : he was in a real hurry when he came out . devon : i do n't know what you want me to say to you . if you really want to know where neil is , call him . gwen : i know where he is . i followed him to this house outside of town . devon : what house ? gwen : well , i 'm parked down the road out of sight , so i ca n't actually see the house , but it 's 1233 lakeside . devon : the lake house . gwen : you know it ? devon : yeah . when neil and hilary got married , he bought it for her as a surprise . it was supposed to be her dream home . phyllis : but marco 's in prison . jack : victor and i are each seeing what we can find out about this . in the meantime , that happens at the same time that this paragon threat is breaking , and then this stranger walks into our lives ? phyllis , i ca n't ignore that . i - i know this sounds crazy , but what if marco sent fred to draw you in , to let your guard down ? phyllis : oh , my god . marco . is this ever gon na end ?

[ ominous music ] lani : you 're making this up . you ca n't use an app to control someone 's heart . gabi : do n't you remember steve johnson 's bionic eye ? visionary bionics developed that too . lani : stefan had the ability to deactivate the eye . he used an app . gabi : good for you . see , i had a technician put the remote technology into julie 's pacemaker so i can control her heart rate . i could slow it down until her heart stops beating , or rev it up till she goes into cardiac arrest . lani , i could also just do nothing . it 's up to you . [ disquieting music ] jordan : i 'm sorry you do n't feel well . do you want to lie down in the living room for a little bit ? maybe that 's all you need . ciara : yeah , no , thank you , jordan , but i think that i should just really go home . i 'm sorry that i ruined your party . ben : no , you did n't ruin anything . right ? jordan : right . ben : right . forget the ride share , i 'm taking you home . ciara : ben , but -- ben : it 's a done deal . i 'm taking you home . i 'm sorry , we have to leave early , sis . jordan : it 's okay . i 'll grab your coats . ben : you okay ? ciara : yeah .

[ ominous music ] lani : you 're making this up . you ca n't use an app to control someone 's heart . gabi : do n't you remember steve johnson 's bionic eye ? visionary bionics developed that too . lani : stefan had the ability to deactivate the eye . he used an app . gabi : good for you . see , i had a technician put the remote technology into julie 's pacemaker so i can control her heart rate . i could slow it down until her heart stops beating , or rev it up till she goes into cardiac arrest . lani , i could also just do nothing . it 's up to you . [ disquieting music ] jordan : i 'm sorry you do n't feel well . do you want to lie down in the living room for a little bit ? maybe that 's all you need . ciara : yeah , no , thank you , jordan , but i think that i should just really go home . i 'm sorry that i ruined your party . ben : no , you did n't ruin anything . right ? jordan : right . ben : right . forget the ride share , i 'm taking you home . ciara : ben , but -- ben : it 's a done deal . i 'm taking you home . i 'm sorry , we have to leave early , sis . jordan : it 's okay . i 'll grab your coats . ben : you okay ? ciara : yeah .

[ scene_break ] luke : the 80 's was a very dangerous decade for me . i was not exactly what you would call a popular man . i bounced around a lot , because everybody who did n't want to drive a stake through my heart wanted to put me in a cage . i was always one step ahead of disaster , trying to make a dishonest living . ethan : that sounds colorful . luke : yeah , colorful , i 'd say . so , anyway , i 'm in south america , see , in argentina . buenos aires . land of the tango . ethan : mm - hm . luke : and i fall into this sweet scam , art scam , involving this masterpiece by a dutch painter named vermeer . you know that guy ? ethan : oh , yeah . luke : good , you 're educated . it was priceless , and it had disappeared during world war ii . now , art lovers are just like well - dressed gamblers . remember that , dodge , because it 's the same game . so i got this nice little bidding war going between this international clique of very shady high rollers . ethan : excellent . luke : it was excellent . i stood to make a fortune . until one of the participants decided to eliminate the competition . i was ordered to make the hit . if i did n't ice one of the bidders to scare the others off , they were going to do something terrible to my family . ethan : you brought your family with you ? luke : well , in those days , yeah . wherever i went , laura and lucky were right there with me . anyway , it was disastrous . i could n't get them out of argentina . i did n't know what to do , so i took a big risk . i decided to bolt and hope that the hired guns would follow me . and it worked . so i detoured them here , to singapore . ethan : where holly sutton was spending some time . luke : yeah , she was . and both of us wandered in here one night , both trying to escape our private hells . both thinking we were going to die . some would call it luck . i call it destiny . ethan : some would call you a player . luke : no , i 'm just a guy . i 'm just another poor sot on this miserable speck of dust . anyway , three weeks later , i was able to get my family out of argentina , settle them in morocco . and laura was very generous . she was amazing . she did n't hold it against me . ethan : well , yeah . she probably did n't know you were dogging around . luke : oh , she knew . women always know . women have infallible radar when it comes to other women . ethan : so , here you and holly were , huddled together , thinking you 're going to die . luke : yes , until fate stepped in , played d.j . , and cranked up the soft jazz . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] woman : hi . how 's it going ? dr. brown : good morning , ladies . does anyone have something specific they 'd like to address today ? robin : um , okay , i guess i 'll go . um , i 've been calling home every day , and i 'll ask my husband or my nanny to put the phone to my daughter 's ear so i can tell her that i love her . i do n't think she understands me . i mean , not just because she 's a little baby , but because i have n't shown her that i love her . i do n't know . how do i make up for that ? woman : you have this little bundle that you love and you adore and everything is supposed to be magical . like you said , you look at the magazines and everyone is so joyful . second woman : i was raised to believe that mothering is a natural instinct . and when i did n't feel the way i thought i should , i panicked . woman : they 're breast feeding . which i think was the beginning of my downfall . breast feeding did not go well . it was a horrible experience . there was no bonding at all . every time i tried to put him on me , he was crying , i was crying , everybody 's screaming . second woman : i would look at pictures of moms and their babies in these parenting magazines , and it just looked so natural . and i felt so awkward holding her , and i thought that if i could just have a little bit of what they had , i would be okay . dr. brown : you know what 's insidious about this disease is that the symptoms , while they are often common or overlapping , everything is so different for everyone . you know , there is no two experiences that are exactly alike . woman : that 's why i did n't recognize it . i 'd only heard the horror stories . robin : definitely hard to talk about , too . woman : i did n't kill my child . but that 's one part of the spectrum . second woman : and if you admit it , people think , `` oh , my gosh , you 're one of those mothers . `` woman : right . second woman : and so you do n't even want to talk about it . third woman : if you 're going through a break - up and you admit it , then they might take your daughter away from you . or your son . second woman : i sometimes felt they should . that i knew anybody out there could do it better than i could . fourth woman : and then when she starts crying , i just want to hurt her . woman : i just could n't seem to get this together . i mean , i had a career . i was a successful person . i can micromanage with the best of them . but i could n't seem to make four hours work . [ scene_break ] monica : carly , i am so sorry . i apologize . the last thing in the world i want to do is upset you . and believe me , i am hoping and praying that michael wakes up . nothing would make me happier . i 'm sorry . carly : if you 're going to defend her , do n't . do n't . jason : could you just stop ? stop , okay ? this is how you act when you 're tired and you 're scared . will you please try to calm down ? carly : i am tired and scared . jason : carly -- carly : and i do n't know how i 'm supposed -- jax : what 's going on ? carly : nothing . jax : what did you say to her ? carly : he did n't say anything , okay ? he 's just trying to calm me down because -- never mind , okay ? the only thing that matters is michael and focusing all of our positive energy to michael so he will come back to us . [ scene_break ] claudia : i get why you have to ask me that , because i grew up in a violent world , in a violent life . and if you crossed somebody in my family , then you were disposed of . i mean , that 's what we grew up with at the breakfast table , like michael . um , i would have wanted to have been michael 's friend . i would have wanted to have given him some guidance and shown him some compassion . what i would not have done is put him in a coma . sonny : of course not . not intentionally . i mean , the one thing we know about that night is the bullet that hit michael was meant for me . the way i see it , there are four people who had reason to want me dead . jerry , because he wanted to run drugs through port charles . i would n't allow it , so his money maker was screwed . ric , because from one second to the next , he does n't know if he loves me or hates me . your father , because he 's my biggest rival . and you , because i threw your brother into a padded cell , beat him senseless , kidnapped him , so it 's justifiable . claudia : look , if i had done that , it would have been justified , and i would n't be afraid to admit it . sonny : oh , yeah , anybody would understand that . claudia : look , when you grow up in my family , you ca n't be afraid of death . if you 're going to walk that very dark line of being willing to take somebody 's life , then you have to be willing to lose your own . sonny : mm - hmm . claudia : so i 'm going to tell you this . i did not do this . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , look , this is officially a no - negativity zone . patrick performed a brilliant surgery . michael needs positive energy . if anyone comes in here saying he 's not going to make it or he 's not going to wake up , tell them to get the hell up and not to come back . jax : i understand what you 're saying about positive reinforcement . it 's a powerful tool , and we should use it . carly : thank you . jax : but do n't forget , you still have a son at home and a baby on the way . you ca n't focus all of your energy on michael . you need a little left for them . jason : i 'm going to try to catch up with monica . [ scene_break ] monica : thank you . jason : i 'm sorry . monica : no . jason : about carly snapping at you . monica : hey , there 's no need to apologize . i know exactly what she 's going through . i did the same thing when you had your accident . i was desperate for a miracle . i had a white - knuckle grip on hope . i prayed to god , i prayed to any entity that i thought was going to listen to me . and you did come back . you were n't the same , but you came back . i 'm just -- i just do n't think it 's going to happen with michael . but that 's my professional opinion . i could definitely be wrong . i mean , patients -- they beat the odds every day . it 's just , if i am right , jason , carly is going to need you . and you 're going to need her . [ scene_break ] claudia : if i were responsible for what happened to michael , i would have had an abortion , no matter what you wanted . i would n't have been able to live with myself carrying your child , knowing what i had done . sonny : i 'm struggling with this , you know ? but , because of -- for the sake of the baby , i choose to believe what you 're telling me is the truth . claudia : thanks . i 'm going to go . sonny : where you going ? claudia : i 'm going to go home for just , you know , a bit . sonny : well , you do n't have to leave . claudia : i have some things that i need to take care of and errands , and this way , you can just focus all of your attention and your energy on michael , okay ? i 'll be back . sonny : all right . claudia : later . sonny : all right . all right . all right , all right . okay , she 's gone . why were you working so hard to get rid of claudia ? [ scene_break ] lucky : the one thing that kills me is luke wants this loser to be his son . he insisted on a dna test . ethan wanted no part of it . i mean , can you imagine that luke actually wanted to be somebody 's father ? elizabeth : wow . this is a lot to process for me . i can only imagine what it must be like for you . lucky : i 'm not jealous , if that 's what you mean . elizabeth : no , more like disillusioned . what were the dna results ? lucky : he did n't bother to tell me . elizabeth : lucky , i 'm so sorry . lucky : i do n't know why i should expect anything from him , because i do n't . i mean , i really do n't . i mean , not for myself . but i honestly believed that he gave my mother the best he had to offer . yeah , i guess not . [ scene_break ] luke : so , i staggered in here because i 'd been shot and i was trapped . i thought my ticket had been punched . ethan : mm - hmm . luke : and then , all of the sudden , shimmering like a mirage in the oasis , there she was , standing right there in that doorway . my english rose . i thought i was hallucinating . ethan : timing is a beautiful thing . luke : mm - hmm . holly 's always had impeccable timing . so , she took me in , she patched me up , she hid me out . took a stroll down memory lane , had a few laughs . and , uh -- well , you get the idea . ethan : wait a minute . this is it . you think this is where i was conceived ? tracy : all right , where is she , you son of a bitch ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it is so unfair that all those years , you and your mom were on the run with your dad , you guys lived in his world , and you played by his rules . and as long as that was the status quo , everything was good with luke . but then you grew up , and you became your own man . you took the reins of your own life , as it should be . he just ca n't handle it . lucky : mr. live and let live . he never really forgave me , i guess . for becoming a cop . now he finally found a way to punish me for it . [ scene_break ] tracy : there is only one reason you would travel halfway around the world to a chinese restaurant , and that 's holly sutton . where is she ? luke : not here . tracy : ha . show your face , you home - wrecker . oh , relax . they 're with me . it certainly took you long enough to get here . what do you think -- whoa ! luke : hey ! easy on the wife . tracy : you 're not supposed to get me , you idiots . the english slut is the one you want . [ scene_break ] jax : you know that i love michael as if he were my own son . carly : i do . jax : i like to think that i 'm being helpful . carly : you are . you 're being helpful . i 'm just starting to feel like now you want me to give up , and i ca n't do that . i ca n't do that . patrick : hi . carly : hi . what 's going on ? patrick : i was hoping we would n't have to have this conversation , but at this point , carly , it would be unethical not to . carly : no . michael needs more time . patrick : the anesthesia wore off hours ago . at this point , there should have been some sign that the connections in michael 's brain were repaired . carly : okay , you said that the surgery went exactly as planned and that you accomplished everything that you wanted to accomplish . are you now saying you changed your mind ? patrick : no . the electrodes were precisely placed . they were firing at the proper times , proper rates , and there was no damage to the surrounding area . carly : great . i do n't want to hear any more . i 'm done . michael will wake up when he 's ready . excuse me . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm all about carly right now , making sure she does n't get upset . and i know claudia upsets her . sonny : absolutely . i understand all that . but the reason i want claudia here is the same reason i 'm so receptive to her . like i said before , i 'm setting her up . [ scene_break ] claudia : do you have a death wish or something ? ric : well , actually , i have a lot to live for now , thanks to you . claudia : ric , come on . give it up , please ? this is sonny 's baby . it 's not yours . ric : ah , you hope so . since you can turn that child that you have inside of you , substitute it for the one that you turned into a piece of furniture , right ? you look tired , claudia . it must be exhausting mustering up all that phony sympathy for michael . claudia : it 's not phony . ric : oh , come on , claudia , this is me you 're talking to . the only person you feel sorry for is you . claudia : well , it does n't really matter what you think , does it ? ric : you know , i 'm getting concerned about you . every time i see you , you 're a little bit more delusional . claudia : what do you think , ric , that i do n't talk to my husband ? we had a very serious conversation wherein he asked me point blank if i had anything to do with michael 's shooting , and i told him i did n't . and you know what ? he believes me . ric : oh , no . see , correction , he wants to believe you . claudia : it does n't matter . same difference , okay ? you know what , even if down deep somewhere , on some primal level , sonny knows what i did , he 'll let it go . because he 'll understand that that 's what he deserves for the life he chose . we 're bonded , ric , by darkness , forever . there 's nothing you can do about it . ric : well , that 's beautiful , and remains to be seen . but while you 're working on your award - winning performance , i 've got a court order for a paternity test . claudia : let me see that . ric : no , i 'll hang on to it . claudia : why are you doing this ? ric : why do you think ? look , my brother may be stupid enough to trust you , though i highly doubt it , but i am not . and i 've had personal experience where dna tests are concerned , and how they can be doctored when left in the hands of a mother . i 'm not having my child stolen . alexis tried that trick with sonny , and you 're not going to do it to me . claudia : so what does this paternity test mean ? you 're forcing me to have an amnio ? ric : no . but the minute that child pops out , he or she is going to be tested . and if you decide to have an amnio during the pregnancy , i need to be informed of the result . claudia : what do you think is going to happen , ric ? i mean , what if you 're right ? what if it is your baby and sonny finds out about that ? you think he 's just going to shift over into the uncle role ? i think it gives him the excuse he 's looking for to kill you . ric : well , i guess i 'm just going to have to take that chance , huh ? but , you know , before i died , i might be compelled to tell my brother all the little things about his wife that he does n't know . for instance , you tried to kill me under his own roof after a little romp in the hay to keep me quiet about what you did to michael , right ? claudia : cards on the table , ric . ric : that was n't nice . claudia : what do you want ? [ scene_break ] jason : so you set claudia up , making her think that you want her here for what ? sonny : come over here . there 's one inescapable fact here . claudia is pregnant with my baby , okay . i 'm not going to run away from that . i 'm not going to put all the responsibility on her . it 's my sacred duty as a father to bring this kid into the best possible life that he can have , right ? it 's best that i do n't hate the mother . the kid 's going to have enough problems as it is . jason : okay , do you want the truth , or do you need physical evidence ? sonny : i 've got to have proof . that 's why i brought claudia along and kept her here during michael 's surgery . i know that carly does n't want her here at all . but she actually did better than i expected . you and jax , i know want to throw her out of the building , okay ? claudia is a good liar , but if you can see through her , okay , she ca n't hide what she wants . she 's needy , and that need just comes right out of her , okay ? what she wants is to be my partner , my wife , and that 's her achilles heel . that is her weakness , and i played right into it . you 're going to love this one . i looked at her and i said , `` hey , there 's not going to be any retaliation , just tell me point blank -- did you have anything to do with michael 's shooting ? `` and i looked at her in her eyes , and she was , like -- you know , did n't make a move or gestures . jason : she denied it . sonny : of course she denied it . and now she thinks that i believe her . so her guards are down , right ? and i get closer to finding out the proof . [ scene_break ] robin : i ended up taking off to rochester and making up an entirely new identity . woman : i had an affair . i know that postpartum depression is supposed to take away your interest in sex , but i just felt so trapped and inadequate . i just wanted to be with someone who did n't know me at all . second woman : i did n't want to be touched , and i was always so unhappy . and i think it manifested itself in complaining . and my husband at one point said , `` you need to just get over it . `` third woman : i did not understand that there was a problem . i thought everything that i was feeling was real . woman : i wanted to get my daughter to start bonding with me again . i would take a picture from those silly parenting magazines that i hated , i 'd tear it out and i 'd set it in front of me , and i 'd hold my daughter , just trying to mimic the pose . i do n't know any silly nursery rhymes , so i 'd just start kind of making up a story or a song , and just kind of sing to her . second woman : i love my husband . he is a great guy . and i thought , oh , my god , if the one person who i love more than anybody and who loves me does n't understand , then i am alone . and i felt -- i just felt nobody felt like i did , and especially my husband . robin : i 'm lucky that i love my husband , that i 'm still very much in love with him .

[ scene_break ] lucky : my mother -- she gave up everything she knew to stand by my dad and keep our family together , while he 's off having an affair with holly sutton . elizabeth : now , you do n't really know that . i mean , what if the dna results were negative , and this thing with holly was just a one - night mistake ? we 've all been there , right ? lucky : i am tired of giving my father the benefit of the doubt . so if he thinks that he can run off with his newfound favorite son , he 's got another thing coming . i 'm a cop . i 'm trying to do the right thing , and i 'm upholding this law . so if those two break it , they 're going down just like anybody else .

[ scene_break ] luke : the 80 's was a very dangerous decade for me . i was not exactly what you would call a popular man . i bounced around a lot , because everybody who did n't want to drive a stake through my heart wanted to put me in a cage . i was always one step ahead of disaster , trying to make a dishonest living . ethan : that sounds colorful . luke : yeah , colorful , i 'd say . so , anyway , i 'm in south america , see , in argentina . buenos aires . land of the tango . ethan : mm - hm . luke : and i fall into this sweet scam , art scam , involving this masterpiece by a dutch painter named vermeer . you know that guy ? ethan : oh , yeah . luke : good , you 're educated . it was priceless , and it had disappeared during world war ii . now , art lovers are just like well - dressed gamblers . remember that , dodge , because it 's the same game . so i got this nice little bidding war going between this international clique of very shady high rollers . ethan : excellent . luke : it was excellent . i stood to make a fortune . until one of the participants decided to eliminate the competition . i was ordered to make the hit . if i did n't ice one of the bidders to scare the others off , they were going to do something terrible to my family . ethan : you brought your family with you ? luke : well , in those days , yeah . wherever i went , laura and lucky were right there with me . anyway , it was disastrous . i could n't get them out of argentina . i did n't know what to do , so i took a big risk . i decided to bolt and hope that the hired guns would follow me . and it worked . so i detoured them here , to singapore . ethan : where holly sutton was spending some time . luke : yeah , she was . and both of us wandered in here one night , both trying to escape our private hells . both thinking we were going to die . some would call it luck . i call it destiny . ethan : some would call you a player . luke : no , i 'm just a guy . i 'm just another poor sot on this miserable speck of dust . anyway , three weeks later , i was able to get my family out of argentina , settle them in morocco . and laura was very generous . she was amazing . she did n't hold it against me . ethan : well , yeah . she probably did n't know you were dogging around . luke : oh , she knew . women always know . women have infallible radar when it comes to other women . ethan : so , here you and holly were , huddled together , thinking you 're going to die . luke : yes , until fate stepped in , played d.j . , and cranked up the soft jazz . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] woman : hi . how 's it going ? dr. brown : good morning , ladies . does anyone have something specific they 'd like to address today ? robin : um , okay , i guess i 'll go . um , i 've been calling home every day , and i 'll ask my husband or my nanny to put the phone to my daughter 's ear so i can tell her that i love her . i do n't think she understands me . i mean , not just because she 's a little baby , but because i have n't shown her that i love her . i do n't know . how do i make up for that ? woman : you have this little bundle that you love and you adore and everything is supposed to be magical . like you said , you look at the magazines and everyone is so joyful . second woman : i was raised to believe that mothering is a natural instinct . and when i did n't feel the way i thought i should , i panicked . woman : they 're breast feeding . which i think was the beginning of my downfall . breast feeding did not go well . it was a horrible experience . there was no bonding at all . every time i tried to put him on me , he was crying , i was crying , everybody 's screaming . second woman : i would look at pictures of moms and their babies in these parenting magazines , and it just looked so natural . and i felt so awkward holding her , and i thought that if i could just have a little bit of what they had , i would be okay . dr. brown : you know what 's insidious about this disease is that the symptoms , while they are often common or overlapping , everything is so different for everyone . you know , there is no two experiences that are exactly alike . woman : that 's why i did n't recognize it . i 'd only heard the horror stories . robin : definitely hard to talk about , too . woman : i did n't kill my child . but that 's one part of the spectrum . second woman : and if you admit it , people think , `` oh , my gosh , you 're one of those mothers . `` woman : right . second woman : and so you do n't even want to talk about it . third woman : if you 're going through a break - up and you admit it , then they might take your daughter away from you . or your son . second woman : i sometimes felt they should . that i knew anybody out there could do it better than i could . fourth woman : and then when she starts crying , i just want to hurt her . woman : i just could n't seem to get this together . i mean , i had a career . i was a successful person . i can micromanage with the best of them . but i could n't seem to make four hours work . [ scene_break ] monica : carly , i am so sorry . i apologize . the last thing in the world i want to do is upset you . and believe me , i am hoping and praying that michael wakes up . nothing would make me happier . i 'm sorry . carly : if you 're going to defend her , do n't . do n't . jason : could you just stop ? stop , okay ? this is how you act when you 're tired and you 're scared . will you please try to calm down ? carly : i am tired and scared . jason : carly -- carly : and i do n't know how i 'm supposed -- jax : what 's going on ? carly : nothing . jax : what did you say to her ? carly : he did n't say anything , okay ? he 's just trying to calm me down because -- never mind , okay ? the only thing that matters is michael and focusing all of our positive energy to michael so he will come back to us . [ scene_break ] claudia : i get why you have to ask me that , because i grew up in a violent world , in a violent life . and if you crossed somebody in my family , then you were disposed of . i mean , that 's what we grew up with at the breakfast table , like michael . um , i would have wanted to have been michael 's friend . i would have wanted to have given him some guidance and shown him some compassion . what i would not have done is put him in a coma . sonny : of course not . not intentionally . i mean , the one thing we know about that night is the bullet that hit michael was meant for me . the way i see it , there are four people who had reason to want me dead . jerry , because he wanted to run drugs through port charles . i would n't allow it , so his money maker was screwed . ric , because from one second to the next , he does n't know if he loves me or hates me . your father , because he 's my biggest rival . and you , because i threw your brother into a padded cell , beat him senseless , kidnapped him , so it 's justifiable . claudia : look , if i had done that , it would have been justified , and i would n't be afraid to admit it . sonny : oh , yeah , anybody would understand that . claudia : look , when you grow up in my family , you ca n't be afraid of death . if you 're going to walk that very dark line of being willing to take somebody 's life , then you have to be willing to lose your own . sonny : mm - hmm . claudia : so i 'm going to tell you this . i did not do this . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , look , this is officially a no - negativity zone . patrick performed a brilliant surgery . michael needs positive energy . if anyone comes in here saying he 's not going to make it or he 's not going to wake up , tell them to get the hell up and not to come back . jax : i understand what you 're saying about positive reinforcement . it 's a powerful tool , and we should use it . carly : thank you . jax : but do n't forget , you still have a son at home and a baby on the way . you ca n't focus all of your energy on michael . you need a little left for them . jason : i 'm going to try to catch up with monica . [ scene_break ] monica : thank you . jason : i 'm sorry . monica : no . jason : about carly snapping at you . monica : hey , there 's no need to apologize . i know exactly what she 's going through . i did the same thing when you had your accident . i was desperate for a miracle . i had a white - knuckle grip on hope . i prayed to god , i prayed to any entity that i thought was going to listen to me . and you did come back . you were n't the same , but you came back . i 'm just -- i just do n't think it 's going to happen with michael . but that 's my professional opinion . i could definitely be wrong . i mean , patients -- they beat the odds every day . it 's just , if i am right , jason , carly is going to need you . and you 're going to need her . [ scene_break ] claudia : if i were responsible for what happened to michael , i would have had an abortion , no matter what you wanted . i would n't have been able to live with myself carrying your child , knowing what i had done . sonny : i 'm struggling with this , you know ? but , because of -- for the sake of the baby , i choose to believe what you 're telling me is the truth . claudia : thanks . i 'm going to go . sonny : where you going ? claudia : i 'm going to go home for just , you know , a bit . sonny : well , you do n't have to leave . claudia : i have some things that i need to take care of and errands , and this way , you can just focus all of your attention and your energy on michael , okay ? i 'll be back . sonny : all right . claudia : later . sonny : all right . all right . all right , all right . okay , she 's gone . why were you working so hard to get rid of claudia ? [ scene_break ] lucky : the one thing that kills me is luke wants this loser to be his son . he insisted on a dna test . ethan wanted no part of it . i mean , can you imagine that luke actually wanted to be somebody 's father ? elizabeth : wow . this is a lot to process for me . i can only imagine what it must be like for you . lucky : i 'm not jealous , if that 's what you mean . elizabeth : no , more like disillusioned . what were the dna results ? lucky : he did n't bother to tell me . elizabeth : lucky , i 'm so sorry . lucky : i do n't know why i should expect anything from him , because i do n't . i mean , i really do n't . i mean , not for myself . but i honestly believed that he gave my mother the best he had to offer . yeah , i guess not . [ scene_break ] luke : so , i staggered in here because i 'd been shot and i was trapped . i thought my ticket had been punched . ethan : mm - hmm . luke : and then , all of the sudden , shimmering like a mirage in the oasis , there she was , standing right there in that doorway . my english rose . i thought i was hallucinating . ethan : timing is a beautiful thing . luke : mm - hmm . holly 's always had impeccable timing . so , she took me in , she patched me up , she hid me out . took a stroll down memory lane , had a few laughs . and , uh -- well , you get the idea . ethan : wait a minute . this is it . you think this is where i was conceived ? tracy : all right , where is she , you son of a bitch ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it is so unfair that all those years , you and your mom were on the run with your dad , you guys lived in his world , and you played by his rules . and as long as that was the status quo , everything was good with luke . but then you grew up , and you became your own man . you took the reins of your own life , as it should be . he just ca n't handle it . lucky : mr. live and let live . he never really forgave me , i guess . for becoming a cop . now he finally found a way to punish me for it . [ scene_break ] tracy : there is only one reason you would travel halfway around the world to a chinese restaurant , and that 's holly sutton . where is she ? luke : not here . tracy : ha . show your face , you home - wrecker . oh , relax . they 're with me . it certainly took you long enough to get here . what do you think -- whoa ! luke : hey ! easy on the wife . tracy : you 're not supposed to get me , you idiots . the english slut is the one you want . [ scene_break ] jax : you know that i love michael as if he were my own son . carly : i do . jax : i like to think that i 'm being helpful . carly : you are . you 're being helpful . i 'm just starting to feel like now you want me to give up , and i ca n't do that . i ca n't do that . patrick : hi . carly : hi . what 's going on ? patrick : i was hoping we would n't have to have this conversation , but at this point , carly , it would be unethical not to . carly : no . michael needs more time . patrick : the anesthesia wore off hours ago . at this point , there should have been some sign that the connections in michael 's brain were repaired . carly : okay , you said that the surgery went exactly as planned and that you accomplished everything that you wanted to accomplish . are you now saying you changed your mind ? patrick : no . the electrodes were precisely placed . they were firing at the proper times , proper rates , and there was no damage to the surrounding area . carly : great . i do n't want to hear any more . i 'm done . michael will wake up when he 's ready . excuse me . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm all about carly right now , making sure she does n't get upset . and i know claudia upsets her . sonny : absolutely . i understand all that . but the reason i want claudia here is the same reason i 'm so receptive to her . like i said before , i 'm setting her up . [ scene_break ] claudia : do you have a death wish or something ? ric : well , actually , i have a lot to live for now , thanks to you . claudia : ric , come on . give it up , please ? this is sonny 's baby . it 's not yours . ric : ah , you hope so . since you can turn that child that you have inside of you , substitute it for the one that you turned into a piece of furniture , right ? you look tired , claudia . it must be exhausting mustering up all that phony sympathy for michael . claudia : it 's not phony . ric : oh , come on , claudia , this is me you 're talking to . the only person you feel sorry for is you . claudia : well , it does n't really matter what you think , does it ? ric : you know , i 'm getting concerned about you . every time i see you , you 're a little bit more delusional . claudia : what do you think , ric , that i do n't talk to my husband ? we had a very serious conversation wherein he asked me point blank if i had anything to do with michael 's shooting , and i told him i did n't . and you know what ? he believes me . ric : oh , no . see , correction , he wants to believe you . claudia : it does n't matter . same difference , okay ? you know what , even if down deep somewhere , on some primal level , sonny knows what i did , he 'll let it go . because he 'll understand that that 's what he deserves for the life he chose . we 're bonded , ric , by darkness , forever . there 's nothing you can do about it . ric : well , that 's beautiful , and remains to be seen . but while you 're working on your award - winning performance , i 've got a court order for a paternity test . claudia : let me see that . ric : no , i 'll hang on to it . claudia : why are you doing this ? ric : why do you think ? look , my brother may be stupid enough to trust you , though i highly doubt it , but i am not . and i 've had personal experience where dna tests are concerned , and how they can be doctored when left in the hands of a mother . i 'm not having my child stolen . alexis tried that trick with sonny , and you 're not going to do it to me . claudia : so what does this paternity test mean ? you 're forcing me to have an amnio ? ric : no . but the minute that child pops out , he or she is going to be tested . and if you decide to have an amnio during the pregnancy , i need to be informed of the result . claudia : what do you think is going to happen , ric ? i mean , what if you 're right ? what if it is your baby and sonny finds out about that ? you think he 's just going to shift over into the uncle role ? i think it gives him the excuse he 's looking for to kill you . ric : well , i guess i 'm just going to have to take that chance , huh ? but , you know , before i died , i might be compelled to tell my brother all the little things about his wife that he does n't know . for instance , you tried to kill me under his own roof after a little romp in the hay to keep me quiet about what you did to michael , right ? claudia : cards on the table , ric . ric : that was n't nice . claudia : what do you want ? [ scene_break ] jason : so you set claudia up , making her think that you want her here for what ? sonny : come over here . there 's one inescapable fact here . claudia is pregnant with my baby , okay . i 'm not going to run away from that . i 'm not going to put all the responsibility on her . it 's my sacred duty as a father to bring this kid into the best possible life that he can have , right ? it 's best that i do n't hate the mother . the kid 's going to have enough problems as it is . jason : okay , do you want the truth , or do you need physical evidence ? sonny : i 've got to have proof . that 's why i brought claudia along and kept her here during michael 's surgery . i know that carly does n't want her here at all . but she actually did better than i expected . you and jax , i know want to throw her out of the building , okay ? claudia is a good liar , but if you can see through her , okay , she ca n't hide what she wants . she 's needy , and that need just comes right out of her , okay ? what she wants is to be my partner , my wife , and that 's her achilles heel . that is her weakness , and i played right into it . you 're going to love this one . i looked at her and i said , `` hey , there 's not going to be any retaliation , just tell me point blank -- did you have anything to do with michael 's shooting ? `` and i looked at her in her eyes , and she was , like -- you know , did n't make a move or gestures . jason : she denied it . sonny : of course she denied it . and now she thinks that i believe her . so her guards are down , right ? and i get closer to finding out the proof . [ scene_break ] robin : i ended up taking off to rochester and making up an entirely new identity . woman : i had an affair . i know that postpartum depression is supposed to take away your interest in sex , but i just felt so trapped and inadequate . i just wanted to be with someone who did n't know me at all . second woman : i did n't want to be touched , and i was always so unhappy . and i think it manifested itself in complaining . and my husband at one point said , `` you need to just get over it . `` third woman : i did not understand that there was a problem . i thought everything that i was feeling was real . woman : i wanted to get my daughter to start bonding with me again . i would take a picture from those silly parenting magazines that i hated , i 'd tear it out and i 'd set it in front of me , and i 'd hold my daughter , just trying to mimic the pose . i do n't know any silly nursery rhymes , so i 'd just start kind of making up a story or a song , and just kind of sing to her . second woman : i love my husband . he is a great guy . and i thought , oh , my god , if the one person who i love more than anybody and who loves me does n't understand , then i am alone . and i felt -- i just felt nobody felt like i did , and especially my husband . robin : i 'm lucky that i love my husband , that i 'm still very much in love with him . [ scene_break ] patrick : listen , i 'm sorry that i was n't able to help your grandson . monica : you 're just figuring out that you 're not god ? actually , i was a lot older than you when it occurred to me that no matter how smart i thought i was , or how good a surgeon i thought i was , i was going to come up short . patrick : usually , i have handle on these kinds of things . it 's just this case for some reason , it just hit me hard . monica : well , you know why ? you 're a father now . you 've got to get used to that . because every kid you see on an operating table or even in a hospital bed is just going to have the face of your daughter . so you 've got to be realistic about that , and know that you 're not going to be able to save everybody . you 're just going to do the best you can . see you . [ scene_break ] lucky : my mother -- she gave up everything she knew to stand by my dad and keep our family together , while he 's off having an affair with holly sutton . elizabeth : now , you do n't really know that . i mean , what if the dna results were negative , and this thing with holly was just a one - night mistake ? we 've all been there , right ? lucky : i am tired of giving my father the benefit of the doubt . so if he thinks that he can run off with his newfound favorite son , he 's got another thing coming . i 'm a cop . i 'm trying to do the right thing , and i 'm upholding this law . so if those two break it , they 're going down just like anybody else . [ scene_break ] luke : give the nice man your jewelry , honey . tracy : never ! luke : are you crazy , walking through town looking like a diamond mine ? tracy : oh , my god ! these bazookas work for you ? you bought them right out from underneath me . luke : what ? that makes no sense . give them your rocks before somebody gets hurt . ethan : listen to the man , tracy . tracy : you shut up ! do you think that i 'm going to give you my jewelry so you can re - gift it to holly sutton ? you guys are really starting to annoy me . let go ! tracy : now that that 's settled , where the hell is she ? [ scene_break ] woman : a couple of months later , i started taking antidepressants , and i was so skeptical . it 's the best thing i 've ever done for myself . robin : and that 's what was the hardest thing for me , because now that i 'm taking them , i know intellectually that they 're working , but i 'm just sort of disappointed in myself that i had to do that in order to function . woman : are you ever tempted to stop taking them again ? robin : no , i know now that i 've learned from my mistakes . thank goodness . dr. brown : good . [ laughter ] robin : i 'm not supposed to stop taking them without dr. brown 's supervision . dr. brown : that 's right . robin : permission . woman : yeah , very important . second woman : i was in such a dark place . i felt like i had such a lead blanket on me . it was so heavy and so scary that i did n't ever want to go back there . robin : i do n't know why . i do n't know if it 's a breakthrough or what 's going on , but i feel like emma 's okay . she 's with her father , she 's loved , and soon i get to go home , and i get to hold her , and i ca n't wait .

[ scene_break ] steffy : i hope you understand why i had to tell dad the truth . taylor : honey , i do n't blame you for confiding in your father , especially now that hope and brooke know . ridge : well , they just found out too , so . taylor : oh , she was already here giving me a piece of her mind . steffy : that 's what i was afraid of . she better not go to the police . taylor : she said she would n't . steffy : she did ? taylor : yes . although she also warned me that she 's going to be keeping an eye on me . she even suggested it 's a bad idea for me to be around my own granddaughter . steffy : that 's ridiculous . i want you here . i want you to spend time with kelly . taylor : that 's all i want . sweetheart , that 's all i want is to be with my beautiful girls . i just feel like brooke is trying- ridge : she 's not trying to do anything . it 's not who she is , she 's not heartless . she 's all about family . taylor : i am scared to death . any minute the police are going to burst in here and drag me off in handcuffs and throw me into jail . ridge , i need you . i need your help more than i 've ever needed it right now . we had a wonderful family . those were the happiest days of my life , but brooke destroyed it . she took all of that from me . now bill said he wo n't say anything , but i am scared to death that brooke will do something . she will change her mind . ridge : she already said she would n't , so what -- taylor : she has lied to me before ! ridge : can we just forget about that for one moment ? just take a breath ? i 'm not gon na let anything happen to you , and i know we 've problems in the past , but you 're the mother of my children , and i will always have a soft spot for you in my heart . we 've all made mistakes . just got ta learn from them , that 's all . it 's okay . family 's the most important thing , right , and i believe in you , and your daughter believes in you . i 'm not gon na let you be separated from her or from your granddaughter . it 's never gon na happen . i wo n't let it . okay ? taylor : thank you . thank you .Summarize.[/INST]from her bended knee practically kissing brooke 's feet , taylor begs brooke to believe her and not say a word . brooke responds by saying taylor shot bill spencer . she snunk in his house and put a bullet in his back . frantic , taylor wails that she knows and she is horrified by that . she gives brooke her word that she will never do anything like that again . brooke does not believe she can guarantee that she wo n't snap again . taylor still continues begging . brooke tells taylor that she would like to believe her but taylor can not guarantee her that she wo n't do this again and right now it is not good for her to even be here alone with her granddaughter . taylor is livid that brooke would suggest such a thing . brooke mulls it over and finally says taylor was married to ridge and steffy is his daughter so for their sake she will not turn taylor in . but she has to know she will be keeping a very close eye on her . ridge rushes into steffy 's office knowing something is the matter and he hopes it is not kelly . from the look on steffy 's face it must be awful . ridge is scared and steffy tells him maybe he should sit down . it is about her mom and bill . he thinks something that bill did to her . steffy says no , quite the opposite . she cries that taylor was the one who shot bill . justin does n't understand bill . here is his dream laid out in front of him and he is just going to let it slip away . all bill can say is he does not feel about her the way he used to . justin chides him that he is really going soft on him . bill counters that he does n't have to be so hard on him . he is trying to better himself for his family . justin says he is doing it for brooke . bill continues with a list of charities that might be a good fit for them who could make use of the old spectra building . justin looks them over and says these are all ones that are near and dear to brooke . bill smirks and says she has good taste to which justin opines then why is she with ridge and not bill . he says he is working on that . justin says that giving up skye to charity is not the dollar bill that justin knows . bill grins that he is evolving , becoming more spiritual . he wants to use that same power into something that really matters . in walks brooke . bill tells her that her timing is perfect as justin was just leaving . he lets her know that he is happy to see her . she says he has been on her mind too because of all the things that have happened this last year with his two sons and losing custody of will but she really believes he is sincere in being a better person . she was really worried and frightened for him when he was lying in the hospital . she did not want to lose him . but now she knows it was taylor .</s> | 6,110 |

[ scene_break ] will : the thing that bugs me about nick is that when he was trying to keep me from being ari 's father , this is exactly how he was acting . gabi : what do you mean ? will : all nice and easy - going while saying one thing and then thinking the opposite . arianna : [ crying ] gabi : i 'm gon na go hold our baby , 'cause it 's the only thing that helps me think . will : i do n't care if you 're for real or not , nick . there 's no way you 're gon na worm your way back into our lives . [ scene_break ] kate : that has all the earmarks of a threat , nick . nick : how could i threaten you ? kate : i mean , i have to say , after this computer virus thing , there is no way that i could re - hire you and justify it to my board of directors . nick : well , i think you ought to try , because you 're one of the few people in this world who truly knows what i 'm capable of . kate : okay , so what is that ? just what are you capable of ? nick : [ laughs ] making your life a living hell . kate : okay , so you are threatening me ? nick : look , i made mad world a lot of money , right ? if i were to , say , go to a rival company , give them the benefit of my expertise , the profits that you 'd lose would make the money that you spent on computer repairs look like chump change . just trying to be fair . after everything that you did for me . you do n't want me to have to hurt you ... right , kate ? [ scene_break ] maggie : so rehab is a stupid idea . brady : got ta be blunt sometimes , maggie . i do n't want there to be any doubt . maggie : hmm . well , maybe i thought in time , you 'd reconsider . brady : well , it 's doubtful , okay ? maggie : so i guess the best approach now is for you to go to meetings and to work on your steps . brady : [ groans ] the big book , really ? really ? hmm ? maggie : i brought mine too . i thought we could read it together ... brady : [ sighs ] maggie : starting with page one . [ scene_break ] abigail : what is with you ? i mean , what 's going on with you and theresa ? jj : well , i 'll tell you as soon as you tell me what 's got you so wired . abigail : i 'm not wired . jj : is it a guy ? you picked another winner , did n't you ? just like chad , and now he 's making you miserable . abigail : okay , will you just drop it , please ? jj : it is a guy . abigail : fine , yeah . it 's a guy . jj : that 's a good start . now tell me his name . abigail : oh . [ scene_break ] ej : it 's true . you 're actually buying nick 's story , are n't you ? sami : you were n't there that night . gabi hit him hard on the head . i saw the wound . it was bad enough that we were dragging him to the river , thinking that he was dead . ej : samantha ... [ grunts ] if gabi hit nick in self - defense , then why are you so worried about what hope will find out ? sami : i 'm not . i just -- [ sighs ] well , it would be easier for everyone if abigail does n't say anything to hope , because we know that nick is n't going to , right ? i mean , he 's lucky he remembers his own name , let alone what we did . ej : i just think you do n't want to think about what it would actually mean if he did remember . sami : what are you doing ? trying to scare me into coming to you for help ? ej : just trying to , uh ... suggest to you that you underestimate nicholas fallon at your own peril . [ scene_break ] kate : well , the last thing i thought you would be asking me for is a job . nick : it 's what i want . so take some time . think it over . 'cause i 'm not going anywhere . both : [ chuckle ] nick : see ya . kate : [ exhales ] you son of a bitch . what are you up to ?

[ scene_break ] anne : so i get an email from the hospital administrator 's office asking me to find someone to make all the arrangements for that sensitivity seminar . theresa : wait , what is a sensitivity seminar ? anne : i -- what -- what do i know from sensitivity ? okay , anyway , so i email back , and i tell them i have the perfect candidate for the job , the most sensitive person i know . congratulations . both : [ cracking up ] [ scene_break ] jj : theresa knows some stuff from when i was dealing stuff that the judge did n't hear . and if she shows up at the hearing and runs her mouth , i 'm dead . abigail : okay , wait . what do you mean , stuff ? what does she know ? jj : just more of the same . you know , but she 's gon na try to make it sound like i held up liquor stores and broke people 's legs . abigail : oh , god , this girl . why does she have it in for you ? jj : because she hates mom , because mom canned her as her assistant . abigail : [ sighs ] jj : and mostly , she just lives to make trouble . abigail : yeah . so what are you gon na do ? jj : i 'm just gon na try to get something on her and make the threat go away . abigail : jj , what are you trying to get on her ? jj : i do know that she has to keep her job at the hospital , because if she does n't , her probation gets revoked . all right ? and she thinks working for a living is for suckers . abigail : jj , are you saying that you 're trying to get her fired ? hold on , this girl is n't stupid , okay ? i saw the way that she looked at you today . whatever it is that you 're planning , jj , if she 's on to you , you 're gon na be the one that 's losing here . [ scene_break ] anne : so all you have to do is post these notices on all the bulletin boards and then get these information packets to anyone attending the seminar . am i boring you ? theresa : what ? i - i 'm sorry . i was -- i was trying to figure something out . anne : all right , so tell me . theresa : oh . really ? anne : well , yeah . what do you think , i wan na talk about this cockamamie seminar ? no , i want to know why dr. dan came to your rescue this morning . who 's he protecting ? theresa : anne , come on , i keep telling you , that 's not the important part . anne : okay , well , what is ? theresa : well , i think he 's finally starting to see what a kind and thoughtful person i really am . anne : [ chuckles ] right . okay , really , and he goes for kind and thoughtful . theresa : yeah , i know , i know , but he does . now that jennifer 's being a total bitch to him ... anne : mm - hmm ? theresa : i stand to win the kind and thoughtful sweepstakes . anne : really ? and destroy poor jennifer ? theresa : yeah , hopefully . anne : well , works for me . so all you have to do is get working on these , and it 's gon na do wonders for your image . theresa : hmm , if you say so . anne : okay . oh -- oh , wait , and this is for you -- okay .

[ door slams ] maggie : [ groans ] [ scene_break ] abigail : jj , the best way to deal with theresa is if you do absolutely nothing , okay ? just leave her alone . you only have one more day . jj : you 're right . abigail : are you faking me out ? jj : no , it 's just -- the pressure is getting to me , i guess . abigail : hey , listen to me . jj , you 've been doing great . ever since theresa overdosed , you 've had a clear head , and you 're gon na be fine . okay ? jj : yeah , sure . abigail : listen , i 'm sorry , but i got ta get to work . you 're being straight with me right ? you 're gon na leave theresa alone ? jj : yeah . abigail : okay , good . jj : all right . abigail : thank you . hang in there .

[ scene_break ] bev : i 'm worried about this now . it could really backfire on us . jj : okay , well , listen . i know it 's a long shot . i mean , theresa has to find the envelope that you put in anne 's office , and then she has to be interested enough to open it , and knowing her and how she feels about her job , if she even found it , she would probably toss it without even looking at it . [ scene_break ] theresa : okay , i hung up some fliers , and it was so boring that -- oh , she 's not here . hmm . someone 's giving me $ 2,000 ? oh . they 're not . it 's for abigail . must still think i 'm jennifer 's assistant . as if .

[ scene_break ] kate : i 'm not sure what we have to talk about . nick : oh , i think you have a pretty good idea . kate : why would you say that ? nick : you do n't remember ? the last time we were together ? does that -- does that ring a bell ?

barbara : well it 's very nice that you 're giving your mother the time of day when you 've ignored her phone calls for two days . paul : mom , please . barbara : i 'm not worried . i 'm not -- well , i am worried a little bit , yeah . just tell me you 're not having visions about your wedding anymore . paul : no . barbara : good . really , really good . and i know -- i know that when you and meg are finally married , and this is all settled -- paul : mom ? barbara : what ? you 're not getting married ? paul : meg is . to craig . craig : thank you very much . also , we are going to be needing one more . we 're expecting somebody else . oh , hey . lily : hi . i got your message , meg . craig : thank you so much for coming . lily : i got your message . i did n't know that craig was going to be here . meg : i know . craig : we are engaged , lily . you know that . we 're a couple now , like you and holden . lily : you like this place , do n't you ? craig : yeah , it has fond memories for us . lily : no , you like it because it 's a public place , and you know if you push people 's buttons , we wo n't make a scene . meg : craig , let 's let it go , please . craig : no , no . lily and i are having problems , i admit this . i am trying to find a way to work through them . lily : what are you doing ? by setting up an ambush ? craig : no , by trying to make this wedding a true family affair . you know , margo and i have had our problems , but she 's willing to stand up for me at least -- lily : oh , oh . this is n't what i think it is , is it ? craig : meg and i would love for you to be her matron of honor . holden : absolutely not . there 's no way lily is going to have anything to do with this fraud . morgan : you 're not eating your fries . parker : want them ? morgan : no . i want to know why you stopped talking . parker : sorry . nothing to say . morgan : it 's okay . a lot of boys talk all the time and it 's stupid . you do n't say stupid things . parker : i just do them . morgan : huh ? parker : i was n't supposed to leave the farm . and i 'm pretty sure my little brother 's going to rat me out . morgan : why did you go , then ? are n't you going to get in trouble ? parker : yeah , well , what difference does it make ? i 'm always in trouble anyway . faith : ow ! j.j. : faith ? faith : ow ! jack : war -- that 's great , carly , that 's just fabulous . carly : you give me no choice . jack : because you keep charging ahead without giving one second 's thought about the kids . carly : this is completely about the kids ! jack : yeah , right , after months of not knowing where their fugitive mother is , they have the thrill of a big custody fight . and we are wondering how to spend summer vacation . carly : what am i supposed to do , jack ? roll over and play dead while you threaten to kick my son , my son , out of the house ! jack : that 's what scares me . this is more about possession for you than what 's best for parker . carly : you know what i think ? that being sent away is not what 's best for parker . i think it might be what 's best for you and miss congeniality ! jack : don't . do n't even go there ! carly : did i strike a nerve ? did i hit the nail right on the head ? ah , look who 's here . katie : what 's wrong ? carly : what 's wrong is your boyfriend is trying to keep me away from my kids . now , i 've got to ask myself , where would he get an idea like that ? captioning sponsored by procter & gamble productions , inc . and cbs barbara : well , well . craig and meg . tying the knot . paul : they announced it last night . barbara : ha ha ! well , where 's she registered ? let 's buy her fine china . paul : i do n't think we 're going to be invited . barbara : you know , i -- i ca n't , i ca n't understand this . you ask her to marry you and she -- knowing craig , who he is , what he has done . she chooses him ? and you 're so calm ? paul : well -- no point in overreacting . barbara : why not ? i 've spent my entire life overreacting . and i tell you what i 'm going to do right now . i 'm going to go find her and tell her off . paul : it wo n't do any good . barbara : no , but it may pull the wool over craig 's eyes . paul : i do n't know what you mean . barbara : my darling son -- if meg were really going to marry craig , you would n't be sitting here chatting your mother up . you would be out there doing something rash , and probably criminal . you set this up , did n't you ? paul : meg did . this one 's all hers . all of it . including the part about actually going through with the wedding . that 's an essential part of the plan . barbara : and you 're going along with this ? paul : i do n't much like it . barbara : like it ? this is a horrible , horrible idea . i mean , you ca n't stand by and watch them get married . paul : look , i 'm not sure that i even really understand it , and i 'm not sure how i ca n't explain it to you . but -- meg feels like craig took a part of her away from her . barbara : craig takes something from everyone . paul : and this is her way , this is meg 's way of getting that part of herself back from craig . barbara : i do n't think i 've ever seen you like this . supporting someone when you hate what they 're doing . paul : well , meg backed me up when i had all those stupid ideas , and she forgave me when i lied to her . and i think that i have to back her up on this one . and that way , when it 's all over , and we are married -- she knows that i 've accepted her for who she actually is , the same way that she 's accepted me for who i actually am . barbara : hmm , nice . one problem . paul : just one ? barbara : one big problem . when you see craig and your fiancee as man and wife -- what 's going to keep you from killing him ? craig : i thought you and lily were more evolved . you would never hear me give meg a direct order . lily : that 's okay . he 's absolutely right . it 's my decision . and the answer is no . i 'm sorry . meg : it 's fine . craig : lily , ca n't you just put aside your feelings for me and think of meg ? holden : i have been thinking about meg -- ever since she agreed to this deal with you . but you know what ? it 's her deal , not ours . none of us agreed to anything . craig : so then there 's no talking about this ? lily : let 's just say it 's inappropriate . craig : all right , fine . but i can count on you coming to the wedding , right ? lily : what is it with you ? just one more thing . craig : look , this is a very important day for us . holden : meg , he just said us . again . he seems to be doing all the talking here . what is it that you want ? speak up . do you want us there ? meg : i do n't want you to do anything you 're not comfortable with . holden : well , then we should leave . because i am not comfortable pretending that this is a good idea . lily : i 'm sorry . meg : let me talk to him . holden , please . holden : meg , there 's nothing to talk about . you 've made up your mind . i do n't want to be a part of it . so , end of discussion . meg : all my life , when you were really mad at me -- when i was really mad at you , when we fought -- it never felt scary like this before . you 're being really cold to me . holden : well then maybe that will make you realize how wrong i think this is . lily , let 's go . craig : do n't worry , he 'll come around . come on , cheer up . meg : i 'm not sure i want any champagne right now . craig : oh , come on . you know i -- when i tell you my good news , you will . just come back to the couch , come here . let 's finish this off , and then i am going to take you someplace fun . meg : i do n't know if i can deal with any more . craig : you know , did anybody ever tell you , you snyders , you 're not very good at that festivity stuff , all right ? would you drink some champagne ? well , at least smile while i tell you that i 've taken care of the last obstacle to you and i walking down the aisle together . meg : just what do you mean by that ? craig : my marriage to rosanna . really , meg , what else did you think i would mean by that ? parker : me and jack . we 're in this fight because he thinks everything i do is wrong . and then my mom shows up and within two seconds , they 're fighting . and she 's keeps saying , do n't be so hard on him . but i 'm thinking that she should butt out because this is between me and jack . morgan : you want your mom to butt out ? parker : and stay out . morgan : i do n't know what to say . parker : no one does . that 's why i do n't talk about it . morgan : but you think your brother will tell on you ? parker : he 's so lame . he and my sister , they both want to go back and hit the rewind button to when we were a big happy family . morgan : and you do n't ? parker : i know how long that lasts . look , forget i said anything , okay ? it 's really not that bad . it 's just loud . morgan : i do n't want you to get in trouble because of me . parker : you did n't do anything . besides , i 'm used to it . morgan : i 'm sorry . parker : no , the way i see it , the more mom and jack fight , the less time they have to yell at me .

craig : well , several american lawyers , an army of swiss ones , a boat load of cash , but it takes a lot of money to -- meg : was it difficult for you , personally ? craig : huh ? meg : you stayed married with her for a long time . maybe you still had hope -- craig : well , of course , of course i did . yes , i 'm very hopeful that rosanna finds a miracle , and i do believe it 's time for me to move on with my life now . meg : you do know that we 're alone , do n't you ? craig : what ? meg : you want a miracle ? it 's time for you to move on ? that 's how you talk when you have an audience . it 's me , meg -- the one you 're straight with . craig : being married to you is going to be very interesting , is n't it ? you do n't let me get away with a thing . meg : was it difficult for you to divorce her ? craig : no . i cared a great deal for rosanna . but it really is time for me to move on , and i want you . i want you so much , nothing else matters . certainly not the past . meg : good to know . craig : now , when i said that i 'd taken care of that last obstacle for us -- what is it that you thought i meant ? i mean , i 'm on to you , too , you know . i saw the reaction . meg : i 'm worried that you 're going to do something to paul . craig : is he an obstacle ? meg : no , but you think he is . and i do n't trust either one of you to move on with your life . craig : ouch . meg : i mean it , craig . you make a move against paul , and this engagement is over . craig : understood . meg : or you wait until we 're married and you try something , and i 'm taking you to the cleaners . look , if i 'm going to go through with this , things are going to be different . very different . craig : really ?

katie : jack did , before he left . why did n't you go with him ? he went with carly . margo : oh , carly was here ? katie : yeah . they were arguing , she was yelling at him , and then she was yelling at me . and then it did n't seem important once we found out about faith . margo : yeah , dispatch -- this is lt . hughes . there 's an ambulance run out to the snyder farm , possible gun shot wound , would you radio the unit and have them report directly to me ? thanks -- now , we wait . katie : has n't that family -- both those families -- been through enough already ? margo : what do you mean , both those families ? katie : well j.j. was the one that called jack to tell him and jack was asking all kind of questions , and he wanted to talk to parker -- and parker was missing again . carly : j.j. , what happened ?

all right , what i 'm going to do , is i 'm going to clean it up , and i 'm going to put a little antiseptic on it . i 'm not going to lie to you , it 's going to sting a little bit , okay ? but you 're brave , i 'm sure you can handle it . here we go . ready ?

faith : it was my fault , i tripped over it and it went off . jack : you tripped over the gun ? where was it ? faith : right there . parker : hey , what 's going on ? oh , my god , faith , are you all right ? jack : she will be , no thanks to you . parker : what ? jack : i told you to put the gun away . i told you to stay here . do you have any idea the kind of trouble you 're in right now ? kodak and it 's payback time . `` sesame street . `` stafford . happy birthday , mom . parker : look , it does n't make any difference what i say , because you 're not going to believe me . jack : parker , this is n't about you running away or getting bad grades . i asked you to put the gun away and you did n't do it . parker : i did ! jack : faith could have been seriously hurt ! why is it that nothing i say gets through to you ? even now you 're not sorry . parker : i put it away ! i did what you said . jack : so it just walked out here all by itself ? parker : okay , well maybe someone came into the house and got it . all i know is that i put it away ! carly : faith ? did you see anybody else here ? faith : no . no one was here when i went into the kitchen . j.j. must have been upstairs . jack : so you tripped on the gun on the way out ? so when did this mysterious person move the gun ? parker : maybe when i was -- jack : when you were what ? parker : i left . morgan came over and we went to al 's . jack : so you disobeyed most of what i said , but you managed to put the gun away . parker : yes , and i locked it up after , like you said ! look , faith , i am so sorry that you got hurt , but i would never lie about this , and especially to you . i mean , you believe me , do n't you ? margo : so , jack and carly went at it , huh ? katie : yeah , they were fighting about the kids , and then as soon as i walked in , she turned it on me , and started accusing me of using the kids to get to jack . which is just so infuriating because i was there for them when she wasn't . i saw how worried he was about them and i stepped up . margo : all right , so bottom line , is carly was mad , huh ? katie : yeah , but not at jack . it was all about me . i mean , i think i 'm just this red flag as far as carly is concerned . margo : what are you talking about ? you ? she was used as an accomplice in a grand theft . she hindered an investigation , she fled the country , she came back , she got caught . katie : that 's my point exactly . although i guess you have to respect her for coming back for her kids , even though she knew she would end up in jail . but that 's the part that i get , i understand , i see you with your kids , and craig with his . i get that parent 's are fierce when it comes to their kids . it 's just that i do n't like jack getting the brunt of it . it 's because of me . it 's because he 's with me that it 's all worse for him . why do n't they call ? margo : it 's the worst part of the job . katie : yeah , i guess cops have to do it all the time , huh ? margo : yep , so do parents . [ cell phone rings ] katie : jack , hey -- jack : i ca n't talk long , i just wanted you know that faith 's going to be okay . it was just a graze . katie : faith 's going to be okay . well , what happened ?

emt : no , if you 'll wait a few minutes , i 'll recheck her pressure and then she 's okay . lily : thank you . faith : i 'm sorry i scared you . holden : honey , you did n't do anything wrong . carly : hey , can i just say one thing to you ? parker : has anyone ever stopped you ? carly : even if it 's not your fault , you 've got to drop the attitude . parker : look who 's talking . carly : parker , you 're in jack 's face , you 're just keeping him from listening to you . that 's not what you need , you need him to hear you . parker : i keep telling you , it does n't matter . no matter what i say , he wo n't believe me . even about you . jack : i 've really got to go . tell margo everything 's under control . katie : i will . and jack ? jack : yeah ? katie : when you 're finished taking care of everyone else , can you please take care of yourself ? margo : so , faith is okay ? katie : yeah , thank god the emt said that it was n't that serious . margo : good . have you ever noticed that you almost always get involved in really complicated relationships ? katie : yeah , tell me about it . faith 's okay , but jack still seems worried . margo : you know how you 're always seeking my advice and counseling ? katie : you mean , how you 're always giving me advice when i ask for it or not ? margo : do n't get between jack and carly . katie : there 's nothing between jack and carly for me to get between . margo : yeah , there is . their kids . and if they are arguing about their kids , then there 's no way that you can win , so you better find a neutral corner . katie : yeah . i would like to do that , but there 's no corner far enough away from carly . at least jack and i always have interesting things to talk about . margo : where are you going ? we have something to talk about , too , here . katie : oh yeah , i 'm sorry . i came here to talk to you . i just got sidetracked by everything . what 's going on ? margo : yeah , i guess with all the drama , family matters are kind of a let down . katie : margo , what 's going on ? margo : oh , you 're not going to believe what craig is going to do next . craig : listen , it is a very beautiful night , and if you 're hungry , we could take a lovely drive out into the country . i know this amazing little inn . meg : i 'm sure you do . craig : they serve a wonderful duck . meg : and then up to one of the rooms for dessert ? uh - uh . craig : that 's nice . meg : look , craig . any day now , we 're going to be entering into a contract . craig : this is a marriage ! meg : which is a contract . and if you get delivery of services before the start date , what 's to keep you from backing away ? i mean , you would n't run your business that way . craig : i was kind of hoping this was n't just business . meg : i 'm protecting my assets . craig : i 'm just talking about dinner . meg : you never just talk about dinner . but look , why do n't you buy me a nice expensive dinner here and then take me home ? craig : home ? to where , to -- barbara : well , well , well , the happy couple . meg : barbara . barbara : what happened meg ? you used to have such standards . craig : i see you 've heard our news ! and yes , we are thrilled , thank you . barbara : so you sold yourself out to the highest bidder ? are you proud of yourself ? craig : do n't make a scene , barbara . what am i saying ? that 's like saying , `` barbara , do n't breathe . `` barbara : why are you smiling , meg ? do you think this is funny ? you think what you did to paul is amusing ? craig : all right , i do n't want you to think that we were intimidated , but we were just leaving . barbara : no , no , no , no ! i 'm going to talk to you upstairs right now . craig : no , no actually , i do n't think that 's going to happen . lloyd , can i get a check , please ? that would be great , thank you . barbara : does he make all your decisions for you now , meg ? meg : craig , i 'm going to go with barbara . craig : what ? why ? barbara : maybe she wants to find out what marriage to you would really be like . meg : you know , barbara , why do n't you wait in the lobby ? i 'll be right there . barbara : okay . best of luck craig . i hope you choke on your wedding cake . craig : what possible reason do you have to go talk to her ? meg : she was upset . craig : that 's my point . meg : look , there 's no force on earth that 's going to keep her from telling me off . so i 'd rather her do it now than at our wedding . craig : good point . all right , i 'll wait here . meg : well , you do n't have to wait -- i mean , i do n't know how long this is going to take . okay , could we hire someone to be happy about our wedding ? what 's going on ? barbara : wait here . meg : no , not here . he 's in the lounge . paul : then we 'd better get out of here . meg : no , it 's too dangerous . craig : what do you mean , he wants a bigger donation ? i 'm buying a congressman , not a senator . bartender : here you go , mr . montgomery . craig : oh , lloyd , sorry , it looks like i 'm going to be sticking around for a while . can you just do me a favor , clean this up and bring me a single malt , neat . bartender : sure thing . anything else , sir ? craig : yeah , you can act as my early alert system . warn me if barbara ryan comes swooping in here again . bartender : i do n't think you have to worry about her any more tonight , sir . i just saw her leave . craig : no , i think she just went upstairs to berate a friend . that 's her idea of a good time . bartender : no , sir , i just saw her go out the front door . thanks for calling dell . what can we build for you ? katie : craig is going to marry meg ? margo : i guess -- katie : and meg is going to marry craig ? margo : i guess . katie : is she nuts ? margo : i guess , but he says they 're in love . katie : and you do n't think this is a good idea ? margo : well , i hope it is . because i 'm going to stand up for him . katie : at the wedding ? margo : yep , at the wedding . katie : but you 're furious with him . and you hate being in weddings , and you 're furious with him . oh , and then there 's always that you 're furious with him . margo : yeah , katie , you know -- i 'm just going to come right out and say this , i do n't know what i would have done the last couple of months if had n't been for you . katie : where did that come from ? you want something . you never talk like that unless you want something . margo : yes , of course i want something . but it does n't make it any less true . it 's just that the last couple of months , i have n't even wanted to talk about the trouble that my kids have been in . and you wo n't talk about it , either . you know , you call two or three times a day and we go out for lunch and -- katie : mostly to talk about me . margo : yes . and i love that , i love hearing about your problems . i love that you come to me . that you trust in me and you get comfort from me . it gives me comfort thinking that someday casey will be back and that adam -- well , adam -- but it just makes me feel like there is still something holding this family together . so , when craig came to me -- katie : all right , all right . margo : i know it 's asking a lot . it really is because you 're still mad at him for whatever the last thing was he did to you . katie : for the fact that he could n't care less about me . margo : i know , i know . but please , i just want you to come to the wedding . please ? the three of us together . please ? katie : okay . i get it . i will pretend that my brother 's adequate , and i 'll be nice about him getting married . margo : thank you . and let us pray for meg . katie : and her sanity . margo : there -- okay , so , it looks like you and jack are n't going to go out tripping the light fantastic tonight . and tom is visiting casey . and i 've got nothing to do . do you want to go get a drink ? katie : girls ' night out ? sounds good to me . do you think we should throw meg a shower ? margo : i think we should stage an intervention . katie : wait -- wait a minute . what about paul ? meg : paul , this is crazy . paul : yeah . meg : yeah . paul : i 'm a big fan of crazy . [ meg laughs ] meg : you know , he is down there waiting for me . paul : well , then let him wait . i miss you . meg : me , too . but , think about it . i mean , i have to go , i -- bartender : here you are , sir . craig : oh , thank you . lloyd , when you saw barbara ryan leave earlier , was she with ms . snyder ? bartender : i do n't think so , sir . maybe ms . snyder was already outside , but ms . ryan left alone . craig : thanks . thank you . margo : well , speak of the devil . katie : oh , no , i did n't know i 'd have to be nice so quickly . can i go home and practice ? margo : no , come on , come on . he 's really excited about this wedding , and i think that he 'll be nice for once . katie : okay , we 'll see . margo : so , a cop walks into a bar -- craig : oh , hey . hey , sis . how are you ? katie : yeah , hi . i 'm here , too . your blonde sister . name 's katie . margo : would you please try ? you promised me . katie : margo told me about you and meg . i hope you two will be very , very happy . craig : thanks . thanks , katie , that 's great . excuse me , i 've just got to take care of something . katie : it just does n't seem right , does it ? poor little faith getting shot , when he 's such an obvious candidate . craig : hey , hi -- did you happen to see barbara ryan about five minutes ago ? desk clerk # 1 : yes . over by the elevators . craig : by the elevators . and was she with my fiancee , meg snyder ? desk clerk # 1 : i think so . craig : what , did they change their minds and then go out the door together ? desk clerk # 1 : well , i guess , i was n't paying much attention . somebody pressed the button , i heard the elevator doors open . but like i said , i really was n't paying attention . craig : right . paul ryan has a room here now , does n't he ? desk clerk # 1 : yes . you can use our house phone . craig : you know what ? actually , i think it would be better if maybe i could , you know , surprise him . emt : she 's good to go . holden : thank you . lily : thank you so much . holden : so how are you feeling , honey ? faith : much better . holden : okay , good . we should get going and have dr . bob take a look . parker : faith -- jack : parker , don't . parker : i would n't lie to you . i did n't leave the gun there . carly : parker -- parker : just say that you believe me . please ? faith : can we go now , please ? parker : my god , why do n't any of you believe me ? jack : i promise you , this will be handled . carly : parker , i need you to calm down and tell me exactly what happened . parker : why ? nothing i say makes any difference . carly : it does . because if you tell me that you did n't leave the gun out there , then i know that you didn't . parker : i did n't ! carly : right . then tell me everything that happened so we can figure this out . parker : you believe me ? carly : parker , i 'm on your side . i 'm always on your side . holden : okay , we should get going . you sure you 're okay ? faith : i 'm fine . just a second , though . i just wanted to say , thank you . j.j. : i 'm sorry , faith . i 'm really , really sorry ! jack : buddy , it 's all right , it 's okay . lily : j.j. , why are you sorry ? faith : i know why . before , when he got the first aid kit , he could n't open it . jack : yeah , but you called for help , that 's what was really important . holden : that 's right . faith 's mom and i are really grateful . jack : so , listen , you 'll call me after she sees bob ? holden : yeah , yeah . jack : okay , lily , again -- lily : it 's okay . come on , honey . holden : let 's go , honey . carly : did you hear me ? i 'm on your side , and we can figure this out . parker : i do n't care . carly : what ? parker : i do n't care if you believe me , i do n't care if you 're on my side . all i care about is what they believe , and they all think that i did it . carly : well , then let me help . parker : do n't you get it ? i do n't want your help . besides , you do n't really believe me , you just want me to forget what you did . carly : no , that 's not true . parker : but i will never forget . not ever . jack : you did the right thing , buddy . j.j. : i did n't do anything . carly : now , that 's not true . you stayed by faith that whole time . jack : i 'm proud of you . j.j. : i 'm going to go inside . i do n't want to talk anymore . carly : well , i 'll be up in a minute to say goodnight , okay ? parker says he did n't do it . and i know him , jack . he does n't lie . jack : he did n't used to lie . carly : he 's so angry with me . jack : he 's so angry , period . carly : you know what i think ? i think he needs to spend some time with both of us . we ca n't send him away , jack . he needs to be with us . not a bunch of strangers . now , i 'm sorry about what i said at the police station , i was way out of line . but please , do n't take it out on parker . jack : whoa , whoa . you think that 's what i 'm doing , carly ? i 'm paying you back , punishing you through parker ? carly : no , no , that 's not what i mean . jack : you think i do n't feel like a total failure here ? i tried to get through to him ever since you left , carly . i 've been hard on him . i 've gone easy on him . i got him therapy . he had me and emma and the school trying to get him some help , and still , he just pushed everyone -- everyone away . carly : because of me . jack : no , the `` why `` does n't matter anymore . carly , i love that kid as if he were my own . and i want to do what 's best for him . and right now -- right now , i do n't think that 's either one of us . carly : please , do n't say that , jack . jack : when i left , this gun was inside . so not only did he forget to put it away , he deliberately brought it out here . carly : no , you know , i have a really hard time believing that . jack : well , i do n't want to believe it , either . but the reason he may be so sorry about what happened to faith , because it was n't supposed to be her , carly . it was me . it was an act of defiance . he can not get away with it . now , his therapist mentioned this camp . carly : no . jack : yes , it might be exactly what he needs to get the help he clearly needs . carly : no , no , jack -- i can not send him away , after i left him . jack : well -- but you do n't seem to understand , is that it 's not your decision . it 's mine . katie : you know , margo , when you 're right , you 're right . that was sweet . a sweet moment -- me , holding out an olive branch to craig , and him looking past me and shoving me out of the way . that was great . it left me feeling all warm and fuzzy . [ margo laughs ] margo : you might want to rethink that warm , fuzzy feeling . katie : so meg snyder , huh ? margo : yep . katie : i do n't know , that -- oh , wait , i just thought of something . margo : what ? katie : with all that chaos at the farm , i bet nobody called meg and told her about faith . they 're really close . margo : you know , i just thought of something , too . katie : what ? margo : craig was supposed to meet meg here , but he was having drinks by himself at the bar . i wonder where meg is . [ cell phone rings ] meg : oh , damn it , that must be craig . paul : meg , no , stop . no , meg -- meg : what are you doing ? paul : there 's still time . announcer : on the next `` as the world turns `` -- cleo : anyway , she seems really nice , and so does luke . too bad when you become a big star , you 're probably going to have to leave them all behind . jade : cleo has got to go , before she ruins what 's left of my life . paul : meg is n't here ! craig : get out of my way . meg ! | holden and lily refuse to participate in craig and meg 's wedding despite a heartfelt plea to holden from meg . margo persuades katie to go to craig 's wedding as a favor to her . parker gets blamed for faith tripping over the bb gun and it going off and hitting her in the arm . parker insists he is n't at fault for the accident because he put the gun away but nobody thinks he is telling the truth except carly . j.j. is guilt ridden but ca n't find the words to tell jack the accident was his fault . jack feels like a failure as a father and decides to send parker to a camp the therapist recommended for him . paul and meg manage to sneak away and make love but craig suspects something and gets paul 's room key from the front desk and sticks the key in the door . | <s>[INST] barbara : well it 's very nice that you 're giving your mother the time of day when you 've ignored her phone calls for two days . paul : mom , please . barbara : i 'm not worried . i 'm not -- well , i am worried a little bit , yeah . just tell me you 're not having visions about your wedding anymore . paul : no . barbara : good . really , really good . and i know -- i know that when you and meg are finally married , and this is all settled -- paul : mom ? barbara : what ? you 're not getting married ? paul : meg is . to craig . craig : thank you very much . also , we are going to be needing one more . we 're expecting somebody else . oh , hey . lily : hi . i got your message , meg . craig : thank you so much for coming . lily : i got your message . i did n't know that craig was going to be here . meg : i know . craig : we are engaged , lily . you know that . we 're a couple now , like you and holden . lily : you like this place , do n't you ? craig : yeah , it has fond memories for us . lily : no , you like it because it 's a public place , and you know if you push people 's buttons , we wo n't make a scene . meg : craig , let 's let it go , please . craig : no , no . lily and i are having problems , i admit this . i am trying to find a way to work through them . lily : what are you doing ? by setting up an ambush ? craig : no , by trying to make this wedding a true family affair . you know , margo and i have had our problems , but she 's willing to stand up for me at least -- lily : oh , oh . this is n't what i think it is , is it ? craig : meg and i would love for you to be her matron of honor . holden : absolutely not . there 's no way lily is going to have anything to do with this fraud . morgan : you 're not eating your fries . parker : want them ? morgan : no . i want to know why you stopped talking . parker : sorry . nothing to say . morgan : it 's okay . a lot of boys talk all the time and it 's stupid . you do n't say stupid things . parker : i just do them . morgan : huh ? parker : i was n't supposed to leave the farm . and i 'm pretty sure my little brother 's going to rat me out . morgan : why did you go , then ? are n't you going to get in trouble ? parker : yeah , well , what difference does it make ? i 'm always in trouble anyway . faith : ow ! j.j. : faith ? faith : ow ! jack : war -- that 's great , carly , that 's just fabulous . carly : you give me no choice . jack : because you keep charging ahead without giving one second 's thought about the kids . carly : this is completely about the kids ! jack : yeah , right , after months of not knowing where their fugitive mother is , they have the thrill of a big custody fight . and we are wondering how to spend summer vacation . carly : what am i supposed to do , jack ? roll over and play dead while you threaten to kick my son , my son , out of the house ! jack : that 's what scares me . this is more about possession for you than what 's best for parker . carly : you know what i think ? that being sent away is not what 's best for parker . i think it might be what 's best for you and miss congeniality ! jack : don't . do n't even go there ! carly : did i strike a nerve ? did i hit the nail right on the head ? ah , look who 's here . katie : what 's wrong ? carly : what 's wrong is your boyfriend is trying to keep me away from my kids . now , i 've got to ask myself , where would he get an idea like that ?

let 's buy her fine china . paul : i do n't think we 're going to be invited . barbara : you know , i -- i ca n't , i ca n't understand this . you ask her to marry you and she -- knowing craig , who he is , what he has done . she chooses him ? and you 're so calm ? paul : well -- no point in overreacting . barbara : why not ? i 've spent my entire life overreacting . and i tell you what i 'm going to do right now . i 'm going to go find her and tell her off . paul : it wo n't do any good . barbara : no , but it may pull the wool over craig 's eyes . paul : i do n't know what you mean . barbara : my darling son -- if meg were really going to marry craig , you would n't be sitting here chatting your mother up . you would be out there doing something rash , and probably criminal . you set this up , did n't you ? paul : meg did . this one 's all hers . all of it . including the part about actually going through with the wedding . that 's an essential part of the plan . barbara : and you 're going along with this ? paul : i do n't much like it . barbara : like it ? this is a horrible , horrible idea . i mean , you ca n't stand by and watch them get married . paul : look , i 'm not sure that i even really understand it , and i 'm not sure how i ca n't explain it to you . but -- meg feels like craig took a part of her away from her . barbara : craig takes something from everyone . paul : and this is her way , this is meg 's way of getting that part of herself back from craig . barbara : i do n't think i 've ever seen you like this . supporting someone when you hate what they 're doing . paul : well , meg backed me up when i had all those stupid ideas , and she forgave me when i lied to her . and i think that i have to back her up on this one . and that way , when it 's all over , and we are married -- she knows that i 've accepted her for who she actually is , the same way that she 's accepted me for who i actually am . barbara : hmm , nice . one problem . paul : just one ? barbara : one big problem . when you see craig and your fiancee as man and wife -- what 's going to keep you from killing him ? craig : i thought you and lily were more evolved . you would never hear me give meg a direct order . lily : that 's okay . he 's absolutely right . it 's my decision . and the answer is no . i 'm sorry . meg : it 's fine . craig : lily , ca n't you just put aside your feelings for me and think of meg ? holden : i have been thinking about meg -- ever since she agreed to this deal with you . but you know what ? it 's her deal , not ours . none of us agreed to anything . craig : so then there 's no talking about this ? lily : let 's just say it 's inappropriate . craig : all right , fine . but i can count on you coming to the wedding , right ? lily : what is it with you ? just one more thing . craig : look , this is a very important day for us . holden : meg , he just said us . again . he seems to be doing all the talking here . what is it that you want ? speak up . do you want us there ? meg : i do n't want you to do anything you 're not comfortable with . holden : well , then we should leave . because i am not comfortable pretending that this is a good idea . lily : i 'm sorry . meg : let me talk to him . holden , please . holden : meg , there 's nothing to talk about . you 've made up your mind . i do n't want to be a part of it . so , end of discussion . meg : all my life , when you were really mad at me -- when i was really mad at you , when we fought -- it never felt scary like this before . you 're being really cold to me . holden : well then maybe that will make you realize how wrong i think this is . lily , let 's go . craig : do n't worry , he 'll come around . come on , cheer up . meg : i 'm not sure i want any champagne right now . craig : oh , come on . you know i -- when i tell you my good news , you will . just come back to the couch , come here . let 's finish this off , and then i am going to take you someplace fun . meg : i do n't know if i can deal with any more . craig : you know , did anybody ever tell you , you snyders , you 're not very good at that festivity stuff , all right ? would you drink some champagne ? well , at least smile while i tell you that i 've taken care of the last obstacle to you and i walking down the aisle together . meg : just what do you mean by that ? craig : my marriage to rosanna . really , meg , what else did you think i would mean by that ? parker : me and jack . we 're in this fight because he thinks everything i do is wrong . and then my mom shows up and within two seconds , they 're fighting . and she 's keeps saying , do n't be so hard on him . but i 'm thinking that she should butt out because this is between me and jack . morgan : you want your mom to butt out ? parker : and stay out . morgan : i do n't know what to say . parker : no one does . that 's why i do n't talk about it . morgan : but you think your brother will tell on you ? parker : he 's so lame . he and my sister , they both want to go back and hit the rewind button to when we were a big happy family . morgan : and you do n't ? parker : i know how long that lasts . look , forget i said anything , okay ? it 's really not that bad . it 's just loud . morgan : i do n't want you to get in trouble because of me . parker : you did n't do anything . besides , i 'm used to it . morgan : i 'm sorry . parker : no , the way i see it , the more mom and jack fight , the less time they have to yell at me . [ cell phone beeps ] morgan : my mom 's outside . i 've got to go . parker : all right , look . i 'm really sorry that i talked about all that stuff . morgan : no , no . it 's okay . it 's just -- look , if you want , my mom can give you a ride back to the farm . parker : no , i think i 'm just going to hang here for a while . i mean , that place is so boring . nothing ever happens there . faith : ow ! j.j. : faith , please , please -- faith , say something , please . faith : i tripped -- and there was a noise , it was really loud . faith : j.j. , get somebody , please ! it hurts ! j.j. : okay . okay , i 'll be right back . i 'm going to help you ! jack : keep her out of it , carly . this is between you and me . carly : oh , the hell it is . jack : i mean it , leave her out of it . carly : oh , she 's the center of it ! here she is , no kids of her own , she can barely take care of a bunny -- until she sets her sights on you -- then all of sudden , she 's super nanny ! she used my kids to get to you . katie : no , i was a friend to them , that 's all . i was there when they needed someone . carly : and then she gets you , and now all of a sudden , you 're talking about shipping parker away . jack : damn it , carly , after these past few months , you do n't want to start comparing our parenting skills . especially in court . carly : no , you know what ? i do n't even want to go to court . so maybe you should stop pushing me . and whatever you do , do n't ask me to defer to her when it comes to my kids ! katie : nobody is asking you that . carly : i do n't believe this . i know what i 've done wrong -- believe me , i know i 'm no saint . but what about her ? when was the last time you spoke to your old friend mike kasnoff , huh ? jack : that 's not what this is about ! it 's about our children , they 're a mess . i am scared for parker , scared of what he 's going to do next . and you and i both know what his problem is carly , and it ai n't katie ! katie : i 'm going to go wait for margo outside . i will call you later .

craig : well , several american lawyers , an army of swiss ones , a boat load of cash , but it takes a lot of money to -- meg : was it difficult for you , personally ? craig : huh ? meg : you stayed married with her for a long time . maybe you still had hope -- craig : well , of course , of course i did . yes , i 'm very hopeful that rosanna finds a miracle , and i do believe it 's time for me to move on with my life now . meg : you do know that we 're alone , do n't you ? craig : what ? meg : you want a miracle ? it 's time for you to move on ? that 's how you talk when you have an audience . it 's me , meg -- the one you 're straight with . craig : being married to you is going to be very interesting , is n't it ? you do n't let me get away with a thing . meg : was it difficult for you to divorce her ? craig : no . i cared a great deal for rosanna . but it really is time for me to move on , and i want you . i want you so much , nothing else matters . certainly not the past . meg : good to know . craig : now , when i said that i 'd taken care of that last obstacle for us -- what is it that you thought i meant ? i mean , i 'm on to you , too , you know . i saw the reaction . meg : i 'm worried that you 're going to do something to paul . craig : is he an obstacle ? meg : no , but you think he is . and i do n't trust either one of you to move on with your life . craig : ouch . meg : i mean it , craig . you make a move against paul , and this engagement is over . craig : understood . meg : or you wait until we 're married and you try something , and i 'm taking you to the cleaners . look , if i 'm going to go through with this , things are going to be different . very different . craig : really ? meg : really . craig : well , do you think that we could have just one evening of a more traditional non - confrontational kind of pre - wedding festivity ? meg : sure , why not ? craig : good . so , to my beautiful bride -- with the smart mouth . meg : how sweet . craig : it is . it is . margo : what 's going on ? what 's wrong ? katie : oh god , there was some horrible accident at the farm , faith snyder was shot . margo : oh , my god , no ! katie : i just had to call holden and tell him , and i could hear lily in the background . it was awful . i 've never had to do something so horrible . he was asking all kinds of questions , and i do n't know what happened . i do n't even know if it 's serious . margo : well , did they call an ambulance ? katie : jack did , before he left . why did n't you go with him ? he went with carly . margo : oh , carly was here ? katie : yeah . they were arguing , she was yelling at him , and then she was yelling at me . and then it did n't seem important once we found out about faith . margo : yeah , dispatch -- this is lt . hughes . there 's an ambulance run out to the snyder farm , possible gun shot wound , would you radio the unit and have them report directly to me ? thanks -- now , we wait . katie : has n't that family -- both those families -- been through enough already ? margo : what do you mean , both those families ? katie : well j.j. was the one that called jack to tell him and jack was asking all kind of questions , and he wanted to talk to parker -- and parker was missing again . carly : j.j. , what happened ? j.j. : i do n't know . carly : just go get a blanket , all right ? jack : it 's okay , let me take a look -- ohh , what do we have here ? okay , oh honey , it 's just a graze . yeah , yeah , can i have one of those antiseptic swabs , please ? all right , what i 'm going to do , is i 'm going to clean it up , and i 'm going to put a little antiseptic on it . i 'm not going to lie to you , it 's going to sting a little bit , okay ? but you 're brave , i 'm sure you can handle it . here we go . ready ? here you go . oh , there it is , that 's it . here you go . wow , man , you are the best . carly : yeah , that 's the worst of it , honey . the worst of it 's over , okay ? j.j. : is this okay ? carly : yeah , it 's fine . jack : here you go . lily : baby , are you okay ? jack : no , it 's okay , she 's fine . holden : it 's okay , honey , we 're here with you now . faith : i was scared before , but i 'm okay now . holden : somebody want to tell me what the hell happened here ? jack : yeah , let me find out , just a second . do you want to tell me what you 're doing out here with parker 's b.b . gun ? j.j. : i -- carly : j.j. , answer him . faith : but it was n't j.j. , he was n't even out here . jack : what ? faith : it was my fault , i tripped over it and it went off . jack : you tripped over the gun ? where was it ? faith : right there . parker : hey , what 's going on ? oh , my god , faith , are you all right ? jack : she will be , no thanks to you . parker : what ? jack : i told you to put the gun away . i told you to stay here . do you have any idea the kind of trouble you 're in right now ? kodak and it 's payback time . `` sesame street . `` stafford . happy birthday , mom . parker : look , it does n't make any difference what i say , because you 're not going to believe me . jack : parker , this is n't about you running away or getting bad grades . i asked you to put the gun away and you did n't do it . parker : i did ! jack : faith could have been seriously hurt ! why is it that nothing i say gets through to you ? even now you 're not sorry . parker : i put it away ! i did what you said . jack : so it just walked out here all by itself ? parker : okay , well maybe someone came into the house and got it . all i know is that i put it away ! carly : faith ? did you see anybody else here ? faith : no . no one was here when i went into the kitchen . j.j. must have been upstairs . jack : so you tripped on the gun on the way out ? so when did this mysterious person move the gun ? parker : maybe when i was -- jack : when you were what ? parker : i left . morgan came over and we went to al 's . jack : so you disobeyed most of what i said , but you managed to put the gun away . parker : yes , and i locked it up after , like you said ! look , faith , i am so sorry that you got hurt , but i would never lie about this , and especially to you . i mean , you believe me , do n't you ? margo : so , jack and carly went at it , huh ? katie : yeah , they were fighting about the kids , and then as soon as i walked in , she turned it on me , and started accusing me of using the kids to get to jack . which is just so infuriating because i was there for them when she wasn't . i saw how worried he was about them and i stepped up . margo : all right , so bottom line , is carly was mad , huh ? katie : yeah , but not at jack . it was all about me . i mean , i think i 'm just this red flag as far as carly is concerned . margo : what are you talking about ? you ? she was used as an accomplice in a grand theft . she hindered an investigation , she fled the country , she came back , she got caught . katie : that 's my point exactly . although i guess you have to respect her for coming back for her kids , even though she knew she would end up in jail . but that 's the part that i get , i understand , i see you with your kids , and craig with his . i get that parent 's are fierce when it comes to their kids . it 's just that i do n't like jack getting the brunt of it . it 's because of me . it 's because he 's with me that it 's all worse for him . why do n't they call ? margo : it 's the worst part of the job . katie : yeah , i guess cops have to do it all the time , huh ? margo : yep , so do parents . [ cell phone rings ] katie : jack , hey -- jack : i ca n't talk long , i just wanted you know that faith 's going to be okay . it was just a graze . katie : faith 's going to be okay . well , what happened ? was it an accident ? jack : yeah . katie : is everyone okay ? jack : well , they 're a little bit shaken up , but , yeah , they 're okay . emt : detective snyder did a really good job , but i 'd like to bring her in . faith : i do n't want to go in the ambulance . holden : any problem if we take her to see dr . hughes ourselves ? emt : no , if you 'll wait a few minutes , i 'll recheck her pressure and then she 's okay . lily : thank you . faith : i 'm sorry i scared you . holden : honey , you did n't do anything wrong . carly : hey , can i just say one thing to you ? parker : has anyone ever stopped you ? carly : even if it 's not your fault , you 've got to drop the attitude . parker : look who 's talking . carly : parker , you 're in jack 's face , you 're just keeping him from listening to you . that 's not what you need , you need him to hear you . parker : i keep telling you , it does n't matter . no matter what i say , he wo n't believe me . even about you . jack : i 've really got to go . tell margo everything 's under control . katie : i will . and jack ? jack : yeah ? katie : when you 're finished taking care of everyone else , can you please take care of yourself ? margo : so , faith is okay ? katie : yeah , thank god the emt said that it was n't that serious . margo : good . have you ever noticed that you almost always get involved in really complicated relationships ? katie : yeah , tell me about it . faith 's okay , but jack still seems worried . margo : you know how you 're always seeking my advice and counseling ? katie : you mean , how you 're always giving me advice when i ask for it or not ? margo : do n't get between jack and carly . katie : there 's nothing between jack and carly for me to get between . margo : yeah , there is . their kids . and if they are arguing about their kids , then there 's no way that you can win , so you better find a neutral corner . katie : yeah . i would like to do that , but there 's no corner far enough away from carly . at least jack and i always have interesting things to talk about . margo : where are you going ? we have something to talk about , too , here . katie : oh yeah , i 'm sorry . i came here to talk to you . i just got sidetracked by everything . what 's going on ? margo : yeah , i guess with all the drama , family matters are kind of a let down . katie : margo , what 's going on ? margo : oh , you 're not going to believe what craig is going to do next . craig : listen , it is a very beautiful night , and if you 're hungry , we could take a lovely drive out into the country . i know this amazing little inn . meg : i 'm sure you do . craig : they serve a wonderful duck . meg : and then up to one of the rooms for dessert ? uh - uh . craig : that 's nice . meg : look , craig . any day now , we 're going to be entering into a contract . craig : this is a marriage ! meg : which is a contract . and if you get delivery of services before the start date , what 's to keep you from backing away ? i mean , you would n't run your business that way . craig : i was kind of hoping this was n't just business . meg : i 'm protecting my assets . craig : i 'm just talking about dinner . meg : you never just talk about dinner . but look , why do n't you buy me a nice expensive dinner here and then take me home ? craig : home ? to where , to -- barbara : well , well , well , the happy couple . meg : barbara . barbara : what happened meg ? you used to have such standards . craig : i see you 've heard our news ! and yes , we are thrilled , thank you . barbara : so you sold yourself out to the highest bidder ? are you proud of yourself ? craig : do n't make a scene , barbara . what am i saying ? that 's like saying , `` barbara , do n't breathe . `` barbara : why are you smiling , meg ? do you think this is funny ? you think what you did to paul is amusing ? craig : all right , i do n't want you to think that we were intimidated , but we were just leaving . barbara : no , no , no , no ! i 'm going to talk to you upstairs right now . craig : no , no actually , i do n't think that 's going to happen . lloyd , can i get a check , please ? that would be great , thank you . barbara : does he make all your decisions for you now , meg ? meg : craig , i 'm going to go with barbara . craig : what ? why ? barbara : maybe she wants to find out what marriage to you would really be like . meg : you know , barbara , why do n't you wait in the lobby ? i 'll be right there . barbara : okay . best of luck craig . i hope you choke on your wedding cake . craig : what possible reason do you have to go talk to her ? meg : she was upset . craig : that 's my point . meg : look , there 's no force on earth that 's going to keep her from telling me off . so i 'd rather her do it now than at our wedding . craig : good point . all right , i 'll wait here . meg : well , you do n't have to wait -- i mean , i do n't know how long this is going to take . okay , could we hire someone to be happy about our wedding ? what 's going on ? barbara : wait here . meg : no , not here . he 's in the lounge . paul : then we 'd better get out of here . meg : no , it 's too dangerous . craig : what do you mean , he wants a bigger donation ? i 'm buying a congressman , not a senator . bartender : here you go , mr . montgomery . craig : oh , lloyd , sorry , it looks like i 'm going to be sticking around for a while . can you just do me a favor , clean this up and bring me a single malt , neat . bartender : sure thing . anything else , sir ? craig : yeah , you can act as my early alert system . warn me if barbara ryan comes swooping in here again . bartender : i do n't think you have to worry about her any more tonight , sir . i just saw her leave . craig : no , i think she just went upstairs to berate a friend . that 's her idea of a good time . bartender : no , sir , i just saw her go out the front door . thanks for calling dell . what can we build for you ? katie : craig is going to marry meg ? margo : i guess -- katie : and meg is going to marry craig ? margo : i guess . katie : is she nuts ? margo : i guess , but he says they 're in love . katie : and you do n't think this is a good idea ? margo : well , i hope it is . because i 'm going to stand up for him . katie : at the wedding ? margo : yep , at the wedding . katie : but you 're furious with him . and you hate being in weddings , and you 're furious with him . oh , and then there 's always that you 're furious with him . margo : yeah , katie , you know -- i 'm just going to come right out and say this , i do n't know what i would have done the last couple of months if had n't been for you . katie : where did that come from ? you want something . you never talk like that unless you want something . margo : yes , of course i want something . but it does n't make it any less true . it 's just that the last couple of months , i have n't even wanted to talk about the trouble that my kids have been in . and you wo n't talk about it , either . you know , you call two or three times a day and we go out for lunch and -- katie : mostly to talk about me . margo : yes . and i love that , i love hearing about your problems . i love that you come to me . that you trust in me and you get comfort from me . it gives me comfort thinking that someday casey will be back and that adam -- well , adam -- but it just makes me feel like there is still something holding this family together . so , when craig came to me -- katie : all right , all right . margo : i know it 's asking a lot . it really is because you 're still mad at him for whatever the last thing was he did to you . katie : for the fact that he could n't care less about me . margo : i know , i know . but please , i just want you to come to the wedding . please ? the three of us together . please ? katie : okay . i get it . i will pretend that my brother 's adequate , and i 'll be nice about him getting married . margo : thank you . and let us pray for meg . katie : and her sanity . margo : there -- okay , so , it looks like you and jack are n't going to go out tripping the light fantastic tonight . and tom is visiting casey . and i 've got nothing to do . do you want to go get a drink ? katie : girls ' night out ? sounds good to me . do you think we should throw meg a shower ? margo : i think we should stage an intervention . katie : wait -- wait a minute . what about paul ? meg : paul , this is crazy . paul : yeah . meg : yeah . paul : i 'm a big fan of crazy . [ meg laughs ] meg : you know , he is down there waiting for me . paul : well , then let him wait . i miss you . meg : me , too . but , think about it . i mean , i have to go , i -- bartender : here you are , sir . craig : oh , thank you . lloyd , when you saw barbara ryan leave earlier , was she with ms . snyder ? bartender : i do n't think so , sir . maybe ms . snyder was already outside , but ms . ryan left alone . craig : thanks . thank you . margo : well , speak of the devil . katie : oh , no , i did n't know i 'd have to be nice so quickly . can i go home and practice ? margo : no , come on , come on . he 's really excited about this wedding , and i think that he 'll be nice for once . katie : okay , we 'll see . margo : so , a cop walks into a bar -- craig : oh , hey . hey , sis . how are you ? katie : yeah , hi . i 'm here , too . your blonde sister . name 's katie . margo : would you please try ? you promised me . katie : margo told me about you and meg . i hope you two will be very , very happy . craig : thanks . thanks , katie , that 's great . excuse me , i 've just got to take care of something . katie : it just does n't seem right , does it ? poor little faith getting shot , when he 's such an obvious candidate . craig : hey , hi -- did you happen to see barbara ryan about five minutes ago ? desk clerk # 1 : yes . over by the elevators . craig : by the elevators . and was she with my fiancee , meg snyder ? desk clerk # 1 : i think so . craig : what , did they change their minds and then go out the door together ? desk clerk # 1 : well , i guess , i was n't paying much attention . somebody pressed the button , i heard the elevator doors open . but like i said , i really was n't paying attention . craig : right . paul ryan has a room here now , does n't he ? desk clerk # 1 : yes . you can use our house phone . craig : you know what ? actually , i think it would be better if maybe i could , you know , surprise him . emt : she 's good to go . holden : thank you . lily : thank you so much . holden : so how are you feeling , honey ? faith : much better . holden : okay , good . we should get going and have dr . bob take a look . parker : faith -- jack : parker , don't . parker : i would n't lie to you . i did n't leave the gun there . carly : parker -- parker : just say that you believe me . please ? faith : can we go now , please ? parker : my god , why do n't any of you believe me ? jack : i promise you , this will be handled . carly : parker , i need you to calm down and tell me exactly what happened . parker : why ? nothing i say makes any difference . carly : it does . because if you tell me that you did n't leave the gun out there , then i know that you didn't . parker : i did n't ! carly : right . then tell me everything that happened so we can figure this out . parker : you believe me ? carly : parker , i 'm on your side . i 'm always on your side . holden : okay , we should get going . you sure you 're okay ? faith : i 'm fine . just a second , though . i just wanted to say , thank you . j.j. : i 'm sorry , faith . i 'm really , really sorry ! jack : buddy , it 's all right , it 's okay . lily : j.j. , why are you sorry ? faith : i know why . before , when he got the first aid kit , he could n't open it . jack : yeah , but you called for help , that 's what was really important . holden : that 's right . faith 's mom and i are really grateful . jack : so , listen , you 'll call me after she sees bob ? holden : yeah , yeah . jack : okay , lily , again -- lily : it 's okay . come on , honey . holden : let 's go , honey . carly : did you hear me ? i 'm on your side , and we can figure this out . parker : i do n't care . carly : what ? parker : i do n't care if you believe me , i do n't care if you 're on my side . all i care about is what they believe , and they all think that i did it . carly : well , then let me help . parker : do n't you get it ? i do n't want your help . besides , you do n't really believe me , you just want me to forget what you did . carly : no , that 's not true . parker : but i will never forget . not ever . jack : you did the right thing , buddy . j.j. : i did n't do anything . carly : now , that 's not true . you stayed by faith that whole time . jack : i 'm proud of you . j.j. : i 'm going to go inside . i do n't want to talk anymore . carly : well , i 'll be up in a minute to say goodnight , okay ? parker says he did n't do it . and i know him , jack . he does n't lie . jack : he did n't used to lie . carly : he 's so angry with me . jack : he 's so angry , period . carly : you know what i think ? i think he needs to spend some time with both of us . we ca n't send him away , jack . he needs to be with us . not a bunch of strangers . now , i 'm sorry about what i said at the police station , i was way out of line . but please , do n't take it out on parker . jack : whoa , whoa . you think that 's what i 'm doing , carly ? i 'm paying you back , punishing you through parker ? carly : no , no , that 's not what i mean . jack : you think i do n't feel like a total failure here ? i tried to get through to him ever since you left , carly . i 've been hard on him . i 've gone easy on him . i got him therapy . he had me and emma and the school trying to get him some help , and still , he just pushed everyone -- everyone away . carly : because of me . jack : no , the `` why `` does n't matter anymore . carly , i love that kid as if he were my own . and i want to do what 's best for him . and right now -- right now , i do n't think that 's either one of us . carly : please , do n't say that , jack . jack : when i left , this gun was inside . so not only did he forget to put it away , he deliberately brought it out here . carly : no , you know , i have a really hard time believing that . jack : well , i do n't want to believe it , either . but the reason he may be so sorry about what happened to faith , because it was n't supposed to be her , carly . it was me . it was an act of defiance . he can not get away with it . now , his therapist mentioned this camp . carly : no . jack : yes , it might be exactly what he needs to get the help he clearly needs . carly : no , no , jack -- i can not send him away , after i left him . jack : well -- but you do n't seem to understand , is that it 's not your decision . it 's mine . katie : you know , margo , when you 're right , you 're right . that was sweet . a sweet moment -- me , holding out an olive branch to craig , and him looking past me and shoving me out of the way . that was great . it left me feeling all warm and fuzzy . [ margo laughs ] margo : you might want to rethink that warm , fuzzy feeling . katie : so meg snyder , huh ? margo : yep . katie : i do n't know , that -- oh , wait , i just thought of something . margo : what ? katie : with all that chaos at the farm , i bet nobody called meg and told her about faith . they 're really close . margo : you know , i just thought of something , too . katie : what ? margo : craig was supposed to meet meg here , but he was having drinks by himself at the bar . i wonder where meg is .

[ nikolas sighs ] mary : hi . i 'm so glad you called . i 'd hoped that once you had time to think about it , you 'd realize you could n't just walk away from everything we had . nikolas : i 'm not coming back , mary . that 's not why i asked you to meet me . mary : then , why ? nikolas : well , as it turns out , i 'm wealthy . the cassadines are n't as rich as they once were , but the name still carries weight . the point is i 'd like to provide for you . [ scene_break ] courtney : that was a beautiful service . carly : ooh . really was . you know , you never said anything about who showed up to pay her respects . what 'd you think of robin ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i called sam . she said you were n't back from the memorial . so i need -- need to check . jason : you need me to take care of something ? sonny : yeah . i want you to tell me how i 'm supposed to let my daughter grow up without knowing i 'm her father .

[ scene_break ] luke : so i 'm the last person that mom wants to see right now , is that what you 're saying ? damian : i 'm saying that after all the trauma she 's been through , there 's no way to predict how she 'll react . i 'm only trying to spare you , luke . i do n't want her to make you feel guilty for something that is n't your fault . luke : dad 's the one that 's making me feel guilty . damian : look , holden is very concerned about your mother right now . but i know this is bothering you . it 's troubling you . i saw your face when he yelled at you for being in your mother 's room . i do n't want you to go through something like that again . luke : you mean , you do n't want me to give him another reason to blame me for what happened . damian : i ca n't speak for holden . even if he really did blame you , i doubt he would be so cruel to tell it to you . luke : yeah . you 're probably right . it 's just , when my mom woke up for that split second , and called out my name , i felt -- i felt like i had done something good , like maybe me being there was part of what brought her back . and when she looked at me , i mean , i thought , like -- damian : what ? luke : well , maybe i 'm just imagining things , but i thought she was trying to say that she was sorry . damian : sorry for what ? luke : for calling ross kreeger in the first place . [ damian remembering ] lily : the brochures , the literature -- it 's all propaganda . ross kreeger is a de - programmer . he brainwashes kids into thinking they 're not gay . damian : nobody can do that , lily . lily : no , they ca n't . they 're not going to do it to our son because i 'm not going to let it happen . [ scene_break ] damian : look , there 's no way at this point to know what your mother was about to say to you . that 's why i think you need to protect yourself . luke : yeah , but if i do n't go back to the hospital , they 're going to think that i 've stopped caring about my mom . damian : no one is going to think that , luke . luke : well , maybe i should call my dad . or just go to the hospital to check on her , but not go in her room -- damian : this is your decision , ultimately . but i really think it 's a bad idea . [ cell phone ringing ] damian : yeah . ross : it 's ross . i need to see you right away . damian : i really do n't think it 's possible . i thought we had an understanding . ross : the situation 's changed . and if you do n't want your son finding out from someone else how involved you 've been in all of this , i suggest you get over here , now . [ scene_break ] meg : jennifer 's repeat chest x - ray shows a significant worsening in her condition . paul : then why did bob let her go ? meg : he did n't . he left lucy montgomery in charge of jen 's case . paul : what , so lucy 's responsible ? meg : well , not entirely . the nurse said that jennifer left the hospital before anyone saw the results . and it says right here , `` patient left against medical advice . `` i mean , lucy must 've tried to convince her to stay . paul : yeah , well she did a terrible job . meg : there 's just so much anyone can do , paul . patients ca n't be forced to stay against their will . dusty : dusty should 've insisted that she stay . meg : maybe he was n't fully informed . i mean , if jennifer was determined to leave , maybe she told dusty that she was officially discharged . paul : okay , look , the bottom line -- jennifer 's still really sick , right ? she could collapse again . meg : or worse . [ scene_break ] emily : i ca n't believe jennifer left without saying good - bye . susan : maybe they were anxious to get the baby home . emily : yeah , but still -- susan : no , you 're right . dusty hustled them out of here this morning . he wants to get her as far away from you as he can get her . emily : yeah , well , who can blame him ? i mean , i do n't blame him . i did horrible things to him . susan : honey , you were n't in your right mind when you kidnapped him . anyway , i blame most of that on paul . he 's a monster . he used you . and to think , he 's going to get your baby . it 's not fair ! he should n't be allowed to be a parent . emily : guess what ? there 's nothing i can do about it if i 'm in jail . susan : that 's right . that 's why you ca n't give up . just because jennifer 's not here does n't mean you ca n't pick up the phone . emily : you think i should call jennifer ? susan : of course . well , you want to know how johnny 's doing , do n't you ? and then when she hears your voice , it 'll be a great reminder to her that the only reason she 's home with her baby is because you risked your baby . so , you remind jennifer , she reminds dusty -- and who knows ? maybe things can change . emily : i do n't have access to a phone , mom . susan : you do now . jennifer : hello ? emily : hi , jennifer . it 's emily . i heard you and johnny were released from the hospital . jennifer : yeah , this morning . emily : well , i thought you 'd come by and see me before you left , but i guess there was n't any time . jennifer : we were in a rush . emily : well , i just wanted to see how johnny was doing . he must be so happy to be home now . jennifer : yeah , he 's -- he 's great . emily : oh , god , jennifer , that 's great . it 's so great to hear that your whole family 's together , safe and sound . jennifer : because of you . emily : well , i 'm just happy it all worked out . jennifer : emily , i have n't forgotten what we talked about . i just have n't had a chance to -- to talk to dusty about it . but i will , i promise . emily : thank you for that . jennifer : i got him to say that at least he will consider the possibility of dropping the charges -- so at least it 's on his mind . emily : are you okay ? jen , you sound -- i do n't know , you sound weak . jennifer : yeah , i 'm just a little tired . emily : well , i appreciate everything you 're doing with dusty , really . jennifer : you saved my baby 's life . there 's little that i would n't do to repay you . but i 'll talk to dusty . you just have to give him some time . dusty : give me time for what ?

'cause all i 'm hearing is denial and excuses and some boring flowers my daughter could have picked from the side of the road . johnny : well , if you let me get to the apology part -- carly : oh , my god . screw your apology and your flowers . flowers ? are you kidding me ? how cliché is that ? you did n't forget my birthday , johnny . you nailed another woman who hates me . and i do n't know how i missed that . i mean , my god . kate is obsessed with taking everything i care about . sonny , jax , my hotel , and now you . but you know what ? she did me a favor , because now i know you 're a cheating son of a bitch . johnny : i do n't care about kate . i do n't . and i never should have slept with her . carly : screw you ! that 's what i think about your apology ! heather : steven lars is innocent . so , why do n't you do something more productive with your time than traipse down to memphis and post bail ? maybe you could get something done with that hair of yours , missy messy pants . olivia : i have an idea . why do n't we both go together ? now that you 're not in an insane asylum anymore , you really should look like it . heather : what a great idea . olivia : in the meantime , though , we have to help steve . heather , we both know that he 's not a murderer , but the memphis police just are n't gon na take our word for it . heather : i do n't appreciate you talking down to me . i know that we need proof of steven lars ' innocence . olivia : the memphis police obviously have evidence , or they would n't have been able to get a warrant . now , we have to do everything in our power to make sure that steve does not go to prison . heather : you can go ahead and think the worst if you want . i , however , will remain optimistic . i take the high road , lady , and you know why ? because i believe in steven lars . and any woman who says she loves my son should believe in that , too . olivia : i do believe in steve , heather ! heather : in fact , i am so convinced that he is gon na be released from jail that i would n't be surprised if he walked through that door right now free as a bird ! spinelli : so , i - i sifted through , uh , footage taken from the night of the murder , and i found images from a single camera of the party boat and the murderer . felicia : [ asps oh , are you saying you have a picture of the murderer ? ! mac : why did n't you say that in the first place ? who is it ? spinelli : uh -- behold . matt : and i 'm standing next to her mother when she 's been handcuffed and hauled off , and -- you know , i 'm thinking the only -- the closest that i 'm ever gon na be to her is gon na be in a visitation cell , and i - i just -- i -- it 's , like , i feel helpless . patrick : yeah . i hear you . matt : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , patrick . i -- i 'm going on and on about this , and i - i know you 're -- patrick : matt , it 's okay . i just , i wish -- i wish there was more that i could do , but , i mean , i already talked to maxie . and i just , i do n't think there 's anything more that i can -- i can contribute . matt : no , it 's okay . i mean , if there was , i do n't think that you 'd be up to it . patrick : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? matt : well , you have n't been into work , a - and you 're not picking up your phone , and you 're avoiding all those people who call about you , and you 're barely getting yourself out of bed . patrick , you 're falling apart . kate : i take it you 've heard about my condition . elizabeth : dr. keenan said that somebody named connie attacked him . eventually , i figured out that connie and kate are the same person , aspects of you . kate : yeah , dr. keenan said i have d.i.d . dissociative identity disorder . elizabeth : it 's a pretty rare condition . kate : well , then i must be a textbook case , because he diagnosed me rather quickly . [ sniffles ] he -- he said that my personality had fragmented , that , um , that i -- that i -- i do n't know , it came from some sort of trauma , but i did n't want to believe him . i thought the whole idea seemed preposterous . elizabeth : he just wanted to help you . kate : we started diagnosing this and working with connie through hypnosis . [ sniffles ] but then we realized that she was quickly appearing more frequently , lasting longer , and she had an agenda . so , dr. keenan advised me that i check myself into a hospital so i can get treatment in a controlled environment . i - i kept putting him off because i - i - i did n't want to do it . and -- and then connie just became so powerful , and she -- she just became out of control . elizabeth : you 're not the first person to put off treatment . kate : i was too vain , or i was too afraid to commit myself when i had the chance . i waited until it was too late for dr. keenan and everyone else i hurt . carly : second thought , i appreciate the flowers . found a good use for them . johnny : you 're joking . carly : who 's joking ? johnny : you are , because i hurt you . i hurt you bad . and when we were just getting started , and we got off to a great start , and then i got stupid and angry . carly : and ? you got stupid and angry and you wanted revenge against sonny , and that 's the only reason you got involved with me to begin with . johnny : that 's not true . carly : yes , it is . johnny : no . carly : you wanted to piss him off by sleeping with his ex - wife , and you know what ? it worked for a while , johnny . it did . sonny got a few digs in . there was that big scene up in the restaurant . but then , you know , that really would n't devastate sonny . no , you needed kate for that . johnny : you kept saying that revenge on sonny was n't worth it , and you were right . i do n't give a damn how much sonny hurts now . all i care about is -- is getting you back , getting us back . carly : good . good . johnny : and i will do anything to make that happen . carly : okay . you can start by cleaning up this mess . and then you can go unscrew kate . because until you can swing that , you 're out of luck . téa : i will be handling starr 's defense alone . todd : okay , look . i did n't come all the way to port charles just to , a - as nice as this sounds , visit the museum of sanitation and racketeering . téa : no , you came to port charles because no one in llanview could stand the sight of you . todd : no , i 'm here because i love my daughter and she needs my help . téa : you do n't help people , todd . you hurt them . or worse . what starr needs is a capable defense lawyer , not a sometime father who turns his own kids into accomplices and who turns other kids into orphans . todd : okay . i get it . i get it . i understand that you are the only person on god 's great , green , expansive earth that is actually mourning victor -- téa : [ voice breaking ] do n't you dare say his name . do n't you say his name . unless you want to see your daughter spent a lot of time in pentonville , you 'll stay out of my way and let me do my job . todd : no , i do n't think so . i do n't think you 're here to help starr at all . i think you 're here to bury her . téa : [ scoffs ] mac : that 's definitely the party boat . you can just make out the name on the side , and that 's -- felicia : is that lisa niles ? mac : being bludgeoned to death with a wrench . am i hallucinating , or is the person doing the bludgeoning a dark - haired man ? felicia : not a blonde woman . mac : it 's not maxie ! no ! we can prove she 's innocent ! felicia : ha - ha ! let 's bring our girl home ! [ laughs ] so , let 's get this evidence to the d.a . , huh ? mac : yeah , well , he 'll have questions , like , you know , if -- if maxie 's not doing the attacking , who is ? patrick : i am not falling apart . i am -- i 'm grieving . matt : you need to just talk to somebody , like a - a professional . patrick : you 're off base , matt . matt : maybe i am . and maybe anna 's off base and dad and elizabeth . and emma . you do n't need to be a shrink to understand this . ca n't you see how far emma feels from you right now ? patrick : do n't talk about my daughter . matt : somebody has to . because everybody out there , all of them are afraid of intruding in on your grief , so lucky me . i get to call you out on your crap . patrick : well , at least everybody else has respected the fact that i 'm grieving . matt : you 're not -- you 're not grieving . you 're hiding . patrick : what the hell do you know about loss , matt ? how the hell can you tell me how to deal with losing my wife ? matt : what am i supposed to do ? am i supposed to just let you jump down this black hole and take emma with you ? patrick : how emma and i decide to live our life has nothing to do with you . and i did n't ask for your glib , juvenile advice . and you do n't know what i 'm dealing with ! you do n't know about loss ! matt : my girlfriend was just hauled off to prison . it 's loss . patrick : well , then go get another girlfriend . i 'm never gon na see my wife again . emma 's never gon na see her mother again . it 's a little different . matt : do you forget how much robin loved maxie ? or do you not give a damn because you 're too busy wallowing ? patrick : [ sniffles ] i 'm sorry about maxie . we both know she did n't kill lisa . so , go find out who did and leave me the hell alone . kate : i 'm praying for dr. keenan . i do n't know what i 'll do if he does n't recover . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he would n't want you to think like that . he would want you to focus on getting better . kate : you 're being very nice to me after the way i treated you . elizabeth : what do you mean ? kate : dr. keenan told me that connie caused a scene at the metro court trying to come in between the two of you . elizabeth : well , at least now i know what was going on . kate : she was so hell - bent on getting what she wanted . she did n't care who she hurt in the process . elizabeth : what did connie want ? kate : she wants to hurt sonny . and after months of trying , she got her wish . she slept with johnny . johnny : okay , do n't you think that if i could take that night back , that i would , that if i could make it so that i never slept with kate or -- or connie , whatever the hell her name is -- carly : you ca n't change what happened , so stop trying . johnny : i 'm not giving up on you . my feelings for you are as strong as they 've ever been . they 're stronger . carly : they 're so strong that you did n't think twice before jumping into bed with sonny 's girlfriend . johnny : sleeping with her was just a way to get revenge on sonny . that 's it . carly : then why did n't you just make it look like it happened ? why 'd you actually have to do it ? starr : i think we 're starting to say things that we do n't mean -- téa : what did you say to me ? todd : you heard me . i will bet you dorian lord 's fortune -- téa : are you too scared to bet your own ? todd : -- that you would be willing to throw starr 's case just to get back at me . starr : do n't be ridiculous . téa : no , no , no , starr . you found me out . now , i traveled all this way in my condition to see you put behind bars just to get back at you . todd : you see ? i told you . starr : dad -- todd : because this is how she operates . she pretended to believe the whole time that her smarmy brother killed victor when she knew the whole time that it was me . she was just trying to buy time so she could build a case against me . téa : oh , wait . wait . wait . this is gorgeous , even for you . you murder my husband , then you kidnap and frame my brother , and because i pretend to believe you , i 'm the bad guy ? todd : that should teach you a lesson , too . 'cause look at me . i 'm a free man . should teach you a little lesson about honesty . téa : sooner or later , mr . honesty , i will get another chance to put you behind bars . and when i do , i wo n't have to use starr to do it . todd : oh , so you are using starr . téa : i love this child as if she were my own . todd : so do i . and i know how that sounded , and i know that she 's mine . téa : [ chuckles ] you may say you love her , but you do n't know the meaning of the word . you never have . if you did , you would n't use your own children as human shields every time you get into trouble . you only care about using them . todd : how am i using starr right now ? i do n't need her to lie for me . i do n't need her to break me out of jail . starr : please stop -- todd : i do n't need to use her as some kind of insurance policy for the next time you and some district attorney decide you want to railroad me with a bunch of hysterical villagers -- téa : are you done ? todd : -- with pitchforks . téa : pitchforks ? are you quite finished with your performance ? starr and me , we 're the only ones here , okay ? so save your excuses and your explanations and your overblown justifications for when my child is old enough to ask why his father is dead and who made that happen , okay ? todd : okay . and i do n't have a problem telling that kid that i killed victor ! uncle todd will tell that child and you and anybody else in this world who wants to hear me that victor is dead and i 'm glad because the world is a better place without him ! téa : [ gasps ] [ gasps ] olivia : oh , my god . steve , you 're home ! i missed you so much ! steven : i missed you , too . heather : how about a hug for the woman who gave you life ? olivia : [ sighs ] yes . please . please hug your mother . heather : mmm . olivia : so , what happened ? did someone else post your bail ? steven : all the charges were dropped . they let me go . heather : see , olivia ? i told you . olivia : w - wait . they were just dropped just like that ? steven : they said there was new evidence . a confession . olivia : somebody else confessed to killing your patient ? do you know who ? steven : maggie . you know , we 're a little early for this thing ... olivia : maggie confessed ? steven : i do n't get it , either . my lawyer said that maggie sent a letter to the police department taking responsibility for the whole thing . olivia : a letter ? i do n't know what to say . i - i mean , maggie confessing is -- is just -- heather : cause for celebration ? maybe we should all go to kelly 's . blts all around ! steven : thanks , mom , but i 'm exhausted . heather : oh , come on . nonsense . we have to celebrate . my son 's name has been cleared . it 's just a shame that maggie tarnished it in the first place . frankly , i ca n't say that i 'm sorry maggie 's out of the picture . mac : i ca n't make out the attacker . felicia : can the image be enhanced ? spinelli : um , actually , i 've already brought the full weight of my expertise to bear . um , the image is , faint as it may be , is the best it 's gon na be . felicia : oh . mac : i still want my tech guys to look at it . spinelli : why bother ? mac : `` why bother ? `` spinelli , lisa 's still dead . spinelli : yeah , and maxie 's still in pentonville . should we not undertake her liberation posthaste ? felicia : oh , absolutely . we have proof that maxie did n't kill lisa niles , so let 's just get her released . finding whoever that is , that 's the d.a . 's problem . mac : the d.a . 's and mine , felicia . but you know what ? right now , i 'm off the clock . let 's go get our girl . catching lisa 's killer can wait one more day . matt : i 'm not gon na leave you alone like this . patrick : [ sighs ] matt : you 're my family . patrick : well , not anymore . i hereby absolve you of all familial obligations , so -- go find spinelli . go help maxie . i do n't care , but get the hell out . matt : patrick -- patrick : get out , matt ! kate : connie thought sonny was gon na get us -- me killed . so she came up with all these ways to remind me of the danger , all these little tricks to create misunderstandings . i think connie wanted me to break up with sonny . and when she realized that that was n't gon na work , she changed tactics . so she decided to have sonny break up with me , and she knows that sonny does not tolerate betrayal . elizabeth : that 's why she chose johnny . kate : yeah . connie knew that if sonny found me in bed with his enemy , it would destroy any affection , any love he had for me , because she knew that he would look at my face and he would always see johnny . and she was right . [ voice breaking ] sonny -- will never forgive me for this . elizabeth : well , `` never `` is a very long time . besides , it 's not like sonny has lived a blameless life . kate : oh , god . no . i hurt sonny very , very badly when we were teenagers . it took me a very long time to regain his trust , and now i 've broken it again . oh , god , i just hope that someday he will understand that i never meant to hurt him . but why should he when i ca n't even grasp it ? why should anyone understand ? elizabeth : maybe i do . carly : it 's not rocket science , johnny . you take off your clothes , you mess up your hair , you jump under the covers , sonny walks in , you guys act surprised . no muss , no fuss , no penetration . did that never even occur to you ? right . johnny : no , connie could n't risk sonny figuring it out . she thought the only way it would work is if we actually did -- carly : connie is not real . and even if kate has this d.i.d . thing , connie 's not real . so man up and stop blaming someone who does n't exist ! johnny : okay . great . if she does n't exist , then i - i could n't have slept with her , right ? so , problem solved . carly : you slept with someone , johnny . you slept with someone ! you slept with kate ! did you know she had a split personality ? ! did you ? ! t - that connie was doing things that kate supposedly did n't know anything about ? ! johnny : yeah , i guess . carly : you had sex with a woman who was completely checked out . do you know what that makes you ? a rapist . téa : how dare you talk about my husband that way ? ! you murdered victor in cold blood ! todd : no . i did n't . you were at the trial . you heard the expert witness . téa : ugh ! todd : i was not responsible for my actions . téa : oh , when are you ever responsible for your actions ? parade as many experts as you want in front of me . you knew exactly what you were doing when you broke into my home , pointed a gun at my husband , and shot him dead . todd : post - traumatic stress disorder does not just happen to soldiers in war . sometimes it happens to people whose mothers kidnap them and torture them and hold them captive for eight , long years . téa : yes , i know . eight years . that 's your excuse for everything , todd . todd : eight years , that bastard victor lived my life -- and loved all of the people that i care about . blair and starr and jack and yes , delgado , you . i know you do n't want to hear this , and for the life of me , i can not remember right at this moment why , but i missed you . téa : [ sighs ] todd : and i will never shed a single tear for poor , dead victor . but i am sorry that you are in pain right now . téa : do you want to know what you can do with your apology ? todd : if you want to blame somebody , blame my psycho mother , may she rot in hell . but you leave me out of it . téa : oh , so -- so that 's it ? you 're telling me to get over it ? todd : yeah , pretty much . that 's what i 'm telling you to do . felicia : spinelli , thank you so much for your detective work . maxie always speaks so highly of you . georgie did , too . i can see why . mac : i , uh , i know i 've given you a hard time over the years , but you 've really come through on this . i owe you . felicia : no , we both do . spinelli : my only wish was to exonerate maxie . someone so aglow and full of heart should not be languishing in darkness . for her , i would do just about anything . felicia : i 'm glad you did . matt : what 's going on ? olivia : what do you mean , maggie 's out of the picture ? heather : well , is n't it obvious ? maggie confessed . they 're probably arresting her as we speak . and then they will take her someplace far , far away where she will never , ever hurt anyone again . i 'm gon na go freshen up . we 'll be on our way to kelly 's in no time . steven : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] olivia : honey , it 's so good to see your face . steven : you 're a sight for sore eyes yourself . hmm . olivia : every time i think that you almost spent the rest of your life in prison because of johnny , i just -- steven : what about johnny ? olivia : did you not know ? he 's the one that turned you in to the memphis police . but do n't you worry . i 'm gon na pay him back double . steven : you know what ? do n't . do n't bother . just -- just let johnny be . olivia : what ? let him be ? after what he did to you ? steven : i 'm more worried about what 's gon na happen to maggie . olivia : you 're right . that -- that just does n't make any sense . she did n't have anything to do with your patient dying . why would she confess to this ? steven : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . téa : arrogant son of a bitch . you want to make a deal ? todd : what kind of a deal ? téa : [ chuckles ] i 'll get over losing victor when you get over losing your family . oh . oh , wait . that 's not really a fair deal . because you can always worm your way back into their good graces . todd : well , they say that everybody 's good at one thing . téa : yeah , you are good at that one thing . but a reunion for victor and me , that 's never gon na happen . all i have left of him is this child , a child that i will raise by myself . todd : you 're not alone . you 're not . téa : i do n't have my baby 's father ! todd : you 've got your brother with the funny name . téa : okay , now shut up ! get out ! i ca n't stand the sight of you ! todd : door 's right there . téa : [ sighs ] i 'm here to help starr . get out . she needs me , all right ? todd : she needs an attorney . there are plenty of attorneys . i - i had a great attorney . i - i was acquitted . i 'm sure that my attorney can -- can negotiate the same for her . téa : for once in your life , todd manning , think about what 's best for your daughter , okay ? she needs someone she can trust . todd : she needs to win . come here . all right ? i 'm here . i 'll take good care of you . why do n't you just tell -- tell téa that you do n't need her ? téa : [ scoffs ] starr : i do need her . todd : sweetie , we can get you an attorney that 's not one of my bitter ex- wives . starr : dad , i 'm glad that you came here . i am , but i think it would be best if you -- if you just left . téa : [ sighs , sniffles ] todd : all right . whatever you want . i , um -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry that you 're having such a - a difficult time . téa : [ sighs ] todd : i - if you screw things up with her , you 'll have to answer to me . i love you . elizabeth : i 'm not gon na pretend our situations are the same , but i do know what it 's like to keep a secret from the man you love , to be afraid to admit something you 've done . and i know what it 's like to lose everything because of it . kate : is that what happened between you and lucky ? elizabeth : he was my first love . and after two marriages and two divorces , our boys , and everything else , we found our way back to each other . we were gon na get married again . kate : third time 's the charm . elizabeth : should have been . but i decided i was n't good enough for him . so to prove it , i had an affair with his brother . and instead of being honest , i hid it from him . and when lucky found out , he did n't take it so well . kate : i can imagine . elizabeth : but see , the thing is , i did n't have a connie making bad decisions for me . i made them all by myself . and it broke me . kate : broke you how ? elizabeth : i ended up on the roof of this building . lucky had to talk me down . he said that no matter what , we would always be able to work our way through anything . and in a way , i guess we did . kate : so , he forgave you ?

[ chuckles ] téa : believe it , estrella . i 'm here . starr : téa ! hi ! téa : [ chuckles ] todd : delgado . people keep asking me if that lady in the viva commercial matt : still laid up with food poisoning ? patrick : i got a late start . uh , so , how 's maxie ? matt : well , maybe you forgot . she got sentenced yesterday . patrick : yeah . um , sorry . how bad is it ? matt : 20-years bad . for something she did n't even do . spinelli : uh , commissioner . madre de maximista . w - w - what are you doing here ? felicia : oh , please . call me felicia . spinelli : yes . a - a apologies . felicia , what -- what brings you and the commissioner to the haunted star ? mac : we tried looking for you at kelly 's , all right ? matt said you insisted on coming here to check on a lead ? spinelli : yeah . not so much lead . it 's just a hunch . felicia : spinelli , i think it 's wonderful how loyal you are to my daughter . spinelli : she 's my guiding angel . she 's the true magnetic north to my heart 's compass . felicia : well , if we 're gon na get her out of this mess , we need to work together . mac : i agree . it sounds like you 've uncovered something and you do n't know what to do with it . spinelli : i - i can see why the commissioner would make such an inference . mac : spinelli , if you have evidence , you 've got to share it with us . spinelli : i - i did find something , and -- and i fear i ca n't properly decide how to deal with it alone . heather : how long have you been standing there ? olivia : i just got here . why ? what 's wrong ? heather : you sneaking up on me is what 's wrong . this is n't your house , you know . olivia : what i know is that while steve is in memphis , i 'm doing you both a real big favor by looking after you . unless you want to go back to ferncliff , in which case , i 'm real happy going home . heather : i 'm sorry . you 're right . i 'm just not used to having a roommate . did n't have one the whole time i was in the hospital . olivia : i ca n't imagine why . heather : what did you say ? olivia : i 'm just thinking out loud . look , there 's good news . i may not have to stick around here too much longer . my cousin came through with steve 's bail money . i 'm going down to memphis right now to spring him . heather : oh , i - i -- that wo n't be necessary . olivia : what are you talking about ? it 's either that or a jailbreak . heather : no , i mean , you could do whatever you want , but , well , it 's a waste of money . olivia : how 's that ? heather : is n't it obvious ? steven lars did n't do it . starr : oh , my -- you look gorgeous ! look ! when are you due ? téa : oh , we 're getting close . [ chuckles ] starr : you should n't have left llanview . you should be home . you should n't have come all the way here . téa : oh , sweetheart . i 'm your lawyer , and you 're in trouble . i would n't be anywhere else . todd : welcome to the team . téa : the team consists of me , starr , and blair . your mother sent me . uh , she 'd be here , but your brother 's sick . starr : jack ? téa : sam . todd : what 's wrong with sam ? téa : i 'm sorry . uh , since when do you care ? todd : since always . téa : uh - huh . todd : come on . that little kid 's as close as i 've ever come to having a friend . téa : and where was all this friendship and concern when you murdered his father ? uh - huh . sam 's fine , honey . um , how are you doing ? starr : i 'm doing my best . téa : do n't worry . i 'll get these charges dropped in no time , okay ? uh , if you do n't mind , i 'd like some time alone with my client . todd : no way . i 'm not going anywhere . carly : get lost , johnny . johnny : i came here to apologize . carly : is n't that what these sad , tacky flowers are for ? johnny : oh , come on . sad ? tacky ? is that why your face lit up when you got them ? carly : stalking me now ? johnny : no , i 'm just taking in the situation . carly : then take this in . i do n't want your stupid flowers . why do n't you go give them to your girlfriend , kate ? elizabeth : however it happened , the blow to dr. keenan 's head was serious enough to cause a subdural hematoma . he 's bleeding in his brain . kate : they can fix that , right ? elizabeth : well , his doctors are trying to figure out the best way to treat his injury . but it 's touch and go . kate : [ sniffles ] all he wanted was to help me . [ voice breaking ] and this is what he got for his trouble ? god , how could connie do this ? [ sniffles ] no . no , that 's -- i 'm responsible , not connie . johnny : kate is not my girlfriend . carly : i 'm sorry . your girlfriend , connie . johnny : carly . carly : carly is definitely not your girlfriend . where 's the apology ? 'cause all i 'm hearing is denial and excuses and some boring flowers my daughter could have picked from the side of the road . johnny : well , if you let me get to the apology part -- carly : oh , my god . screw your apology and your flowers . flowers ? are you kidding me ? how cliché is that ? you did n't forget my birthday , johnny . you nailed another woman who hates me . and i do n't know how i missed that . i mean , my god . kate is obsessed with taking everything i care about . sonny , jax , my hotel , and now you . but you know what ? she did me a favor , because now i know you 're a cheating son of a bitch . johnny : i do n't care about kate . i do n't . and i never should have slept with her . carly : screw you ! that 's what i think about your apology ! heather : steven lars is innocent . so , why do n't you do something more productive with your time than traipse down to memphis and post bail ? maybe you could get something done with that hair of yours , missy messy pants . olivia : i have an idea . why do n't we both go together ? now that you 're not in an insane asylum anymore , you really should look like it . heather : what a great idea . olivia : in the meantime , though , we have to help steve . heather , we both know that he 's not a murderer , but the memphis police just are n't gon na take our word for it . heather : i do n't appreciate you talking down to me . i know that we need proof of steven lars ' innocence . olivia : the memphis police obviously have evidence , or they would n't have been able to get a warrant . now , we have to do everything in our power to make sure that steve does not go to prison . heather : you can go ahead and think the worst if you want . i , however , will remain optimistic . i take the high road , lady , and you know why ? because i believe in steven lars . and any woman who says she loves my son should believe in that , too . olivia : i do believe in steve , heather ! heather : in fact , i am so convinced that he is gon na be released from jail that i would n't be surprised if he walked through that door right now free as a bird ! spinelli : so , i - i sifted through , uh , footage taken from the night of the murder , and i found images from a single camera of the party boat and the murderer . felicia : [ asps oh , are you saying you have a picture of the murderer ? ! mac : why did n't you say that in the first place ? who is it ? spinelli : uh -- behold . matt : and i 'm standing next to her mother when she 's been handcuffed and hauled off , and -- you know , i 'm thinking the only -- the closest that i 'm ever gon na be to her is gon na be in a visitation cell , and i - i just -- i -- it 's , like , i feel helpless . patrick : yeah . i hear you . matt : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , patrick . i -- i 'm going on and on about this , and i - i know you 're -- patrick : matt , it 's okay . i just , i wish -- i wish there was more that i could do , but , i mean , i already talked to maxie . and i just , i do n't think there 's anything more that i can -- i can contribute . matt : no , it 's okay . i mean , if there was , i do n't think that you 'd be up to it . patrick : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? matt : well , you have n't been into work , a - and you 're not picking up your phone , and you 're avoiding all those people who call about you , and you 're barely getting yourself out of bed . patrick , you 're falling apart . kate : i take it you 've heard about my condition . elizabeth : dr. keenan said that somebody named connie attacked him . eventually , i figured out that connie and kate are the same person , aspects of you . kate : yeah , dr. keenan said i have d.i.d . dissociative identity disorder . elizabeth : it 's a pretty rare condition . kate : well , then i must be a textbook case , because he diagnosed me rather quickly . [ sniffles ] he -- he said that my personality had fragmented , that , um , that i -- that i -- i do n't know , it came from some sort of trauma , but i did n't want to believe him . i thought the whole idea seemed preposterous . elizabeth : he just wanted to help you . kate : we started diagnosing this and working with connie through hypnosis . [ sniffles ] but then we realized that she was quickly appearing more frequently , lasting longer , and she had an agenda . so , dr. keenan advised me that i check myself into a hospital so i can get treatment in a controlled environment . i - i kept putting him off because i - i - i did n't want to do it . and -- and then connie just became so powerful , and she -- she just became out of control . elizabeth : you 're not the first person to put off treatment . kate : i was too vain , or i was too afraid to commit myself when i had the chance . i waited until it was too late for dr. keenan and everyone else i hurt . carly : second thought , i appreciate the flowers . found a good use for them . johnny : you 're joking . carly : who 's joking ? johnny : you are , because i hurt you . i hurt you bad . and when we were just getting started , and we got off to a great start , and then i got stupid and angry . carly : and ? you got stupid and angry and you wanted revenge against sonny , and that 's the only reason you got involved with me to begin with . johnny : that 's not true . carly : yes , it is . johnny : no . carly : you wanted to piss him off by sleeping with his ex - wife , and you know what ? it worked for a while , johnny . it did . sonny got a few digs in . there was that big scene up in the restaurant . but then , you know , that really would n't devastate sonny . no , you needed kate for that . johnny : you kept saying that revenge on sonny was n't worth it , and you were right . i do n't give a damn how much sonny hurts now . all i care about is -- is getting you back , getting us back . carly : good . good . johnny : and i will do anything to make that happen . carly : okay . you can start by cleaning up this mess . and then you can go unscrew kate . because until you can swing that , you 're out of luck . téa : i will be handling starr 's defense alone . todd : okay , look . i did n't come all the way to port charles just to , a - as nice as this sounds , visit the museum of sanitation and racketeering . téa : no , you came to port charles because no one in llanview could stand the sight of you . todd : no , i 'm here because i love my daughter and she needs my help . téa : you do n't help people , todd . you hurt them . or worse . what starr needs is a capable defense lawyer , not a sometime father who turns his own kids into accomplices and who turns other kids into orphans . todd : okay . i get it . i get it . i understand that you are the only person on god 's great , green , expansive earth that is actually mourning victor -- téa : [ voice breaking ] do n't you dare say his name . do n't you say his name . unless you want to see your daughter spent a lot of time in pentonville , you 'll stay out of my way and let me do my job . todd : no , i do n't think so . i do n't think you 're here to help starr at all . i think you 're here to bury her . téa : [ scoffs ] mac : that 's definitely the party boat . you can just make out the name on the side , and that 's -- felicia : is that lisa niles ? mac : being bludgeoned to death with a wrench . am i hallucinating , or is the person doing the bludgeoning a dark - haired man ? felicia : not a blonde woman . mac : it 's not maxie ! no ! we can prove she 's innocent ! felicia : ha - ha ! let 's bring our girl home ! [ laughs ] so , let 's get this evidence to the d.a . , huh ? mac : yeah , well , he 'll have questions , like , you know , if -- if maxie 's not doing the attacking , who is ? patrick : i am not falling apart . i am -- i 'm grieving . matt : you need to just talk to somebody , like a - a professional . patrick : you 're off base , matt . matt : maybe i am . and maybe anna 's off base and dad and elizabeth . and emma . you do n't need to be a shrink to understand this . ca n't you see how far emma feels from you right now ? patrick : do n't talk about my daughter . matt : somebody has to . because everybody out there , all of them are afraid of intruding in on your grief , so lucky me . i get to call you out on your crap . patrick : well , at least everybody else has respected the fact that i 'm grieving . matt : you 're not -- you 're not grieving . you 're hiding . patrick : what the hell do you know about loss , matt ? how the hell can you tell me how to deal with losing my wife ? matt : what am i supposed to do ? am i supposed to just let you jump down this black hole and take emma with you ? patrick : how emma and i decide to live our life has nothing to do with you . and i did n't ask for your glib , juvenile advice . and you do n't know what i 'm dealing with ! you do n't know about loss ! matt : my girlfriend was just hauled off to prison . it 's loss . patrick : well , then go get another girlfriend . i 'm never gon na see my wife again . emma 's never gon na see her mother again . it 's a little different . matt : do you forget how much robin loved maxie ? or do you not give a damn because you 're too busy wallowing ? patrick : [ sniffles ] i 'm sorry about maxie . we both know she did n't kill lisa . so , go find out who did and leave me the hell alone . kate : i 'm praying for dr. keenan . i do n't know what i 'll do if he does n't recover . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he would n't want you to think like that . he would want you to focus on getting better . kate : you 're being very nice to me after the way i treated you . elizabeth : what do you mean ? kate : dr. keenan told me that connie caused a scene at the metro court trying to come in between the two of you . elizabeth : well , at least now i know what was going on . kate : she was so hell - bent on getting what she wanted . she did n't care who she hurt in the process . elizabeth : what did connie want ? kate : she wants to hurt sonny . and after months of trying , she got her wish . she slept with johnny . johnny : okay , do n't you think that if i could take that night back , that i would , that if i could make it so that i never slept with kate or -- or connie , whatever the hell her name is -- carly : you ca n't change what happened , so stop trying . johnny : i 'm not giving up on you . my feelings for you are as strong as they 've ever been . they 're stronger . carly : they 're so strong that you did n't think twice before jumping into bed with sonny 's girlfriend . johnny : sleeping with her was just a way to get revenge on sonny . that 's it . carly : then why did n't you just make it look like it happened ? why 'd you actually have to do it ? starr : i think we 're starting to say things that we do n't mean -- téa : what did you say to me ? todd : you heard me . i will bet you dorian lord 's fortune -- téa : are you too scared to bet your own ? todd : -- that you would be willing to throw starr 's case just to get back at me . starr : do n't be ridiculous . téa : no , no , no , starr . you found me out . now , i traveled all this way in my condition to see you put behind bars just to get back at you . todd : you see ? i told you . starr : dad -- todd : because this is how she operates . she pretended to believe the whole time that her smarmy brother killed victor when she knew the whole time that it was me . she was just trying to buy time so she could build a case against me . téa : oh , wait . wait . wait . this is gorgeous , even for you . you murder my husband , then you kidnap and frame my brother , and because i pretend to believe you , i 'm the bad guy ? todd : that should teach you a lesson , too . 'cause look at me . i 'm a free man . should teach you a little lesson about honesty . téa : sooner or later , mr . honesty , i will get another chance to put you behind bars . and when i do , i wo n't have to use starr to do it . todd : oh , so you are using starr . téa : i love this child as if she were my own . todd : so do i . and i know how that sounded , and i know that she 's mine . téa : [ chuckles ] you may say you love her , but you do n't know the meaning of the word . you never have . if you did , you would n't use your own children as human shields every time you get into trouble . you only care about using them . todd : how am i using starr right now ? i do n't need her to lie for me . i do n't need her to break me out of jail . starr : please stop -- todd : i do n't need to use her as some kind of insurance policy for the next time you and some district attorney decide you want to railroad me with a bunch of hysterical villagers -- téa : are you done ? todd : -- with pitchforks . téa : pitchforks ? are you quite finished with your performance ? starr and me , we 're the only ones here , okay ? so save your excuses and your explanations and your overblown justifications for when my child is old enough to ask why his father is dead and who made that happen , okay ? todd : okay . and i do n't have a problem telling that kid that i killed victor ! uncle todd will tell that child and you and anybody else in this world who wants to hear me that victor is dead and i 'm glad because the world is a better place without him ! téa : [ gasps ] [ gasps ] olivia : oh , my god . steve , you 're home ! i missed you so much ! steven : i missed you , too . heather : how about a hug for the woman who gave you life ? olivia : [ sighs ] yes . please . please hug your mother . heather : mmm . olivia : so , what happened ? did someone else post your bail ? steven : all the charges were dropped . they let me go . heather : see , olivia ? i told you . olivia : w - wait . they were just dropped just like that ? steven : they said there was new evidence . a confession . olivia : somebody else confessed to killing your patient ? do you know who ? steven : maggie . you know , we 're a little early for this thing ... olivia : maggie confessed ? steven : i do n't get it , either . my lawyer said that maggie sent a letter to the police department taking responsibility for the whole thing . olivia : a letter ? i do n't know what to say . i - i mean , maggie confessing is -- is just -- heather : cause for celebration ? maybe we should all go to kelly 's . blts all around ! steven : thanks , mom , but i 'm exhausted . heather : oh , come on . nonsense . we have to celebrate . my son 's name has been cleared . it 's just a shame that maggie tarnished it in the first place . frankly , i ca n't say that i 'm sorry maggie 's out of the picture . mac : i ca n't make out the attacker . felicia : can the image be enhanced ? spinelli : um , actually , i 've already brought the full weight of my expertise to bear . um , the image is , faint as it may be , is the best it 's gon na be . felicia : oh . mac : i still want my tech guys to look at it . spinelli : why bother ? mac : `` why bother ? `` spinelli , lisa 's still dead . spinelli : yeah , and maxie 's still in pentonville . should we not undertake her liberation posthaste ? felicia : oh , absolutely . we have proof that maxie did n't kill lisa niles , so let 's just get her released . finding whoever that is , that 's the d.a . 's problem . mac : the d.a . 's and mine , felicia . but you know what ? right now , i 'm off the clock . let 's go get our girl . catching lisa 's killer can wait one more day . matt : i 'm not gon na leave you alone like this . patrick : [ sighs ] matt : you 're my family . patrick : well , not anymore . i hereby absolve you of all familial obligations , so -- go find spinelli . go help maxie . i do n't care , but get the hell out . matt : patrick -- patrick : get out , matt ! kate : connie thought sonny was gon na get us -- me killed . so she came up with all these ways to remind me of the danger , all these little tricks to create misunderstandings . i think connie wanted me to break up with sonny . and when she realized that that was n't gon na work , she changed tactics . so she decided to have sonny break up with me , and she knows that sonny does not tolerate betrayal . elizabeth : that 's why she chose johnny . kate : yeah . connie knew that if sonny found me in bed with his enemy , it would destroy any affection , any love he had for me , because she knew that he would look at my face and he would always see johnny . and she was right . [ voice breaking ] sonny -- will never forgive me for this . elizabeth : well , `` never `` is a very long time . besides , it 's not like sonny has lived a blameless life . kate : oh , god . no . i hurt sonny very , very badly when we were teenagers . it took me a very long time to regain his trust , and now i 've broken it again . oh , god , i just hope that someday he will understand that i never meant to hurt him . but why should he when i ca n't even grasp it ? why should anyone understand ? elizabeth : maybe i do . carly : it 's not rocket science , johnny . you take off your clothes , you mess up your hair , you jump under the covers , sonny walks in , you guys act surprised . no muss , no fuss , no penetration . did that never even occur to you ? right . johnny : no , connie could n't risk sonny figuring it out . she thought the only way it would work is if we actually did -- carly : connie is not real . and even if kate has this d.i.d . thing , connie 's not real . so man up and stop blaming someone who does n't exist ! johnny : okay . great . if she does n't exist , then i - i could n't have slept with her , right ? so , problem solved . carly : you slept with someone , johnny . you slept with someone ! you slept with kate ! did you know she had a split personality ? ! did you ? ! t - that connie was doing things that kate supposedly did n't know anything about ? ! johnny : yeah , i guess . carly : you had sex with a woman who was completely checked out . do you know what that makes you ? a rapist . téa : how dare you talk about my husband that way ? ! you murdered victor in cold blood ! todd : no . i did n't . you were at the trial . you heard the expert witness . téa : ugh ! todd : i was not responsible for my actions . téa : oh , when are you ever responsible for your actions ? parade as many experts as you want in front of me . you knew exactly what you were doing when you broke into my home , pointed a gun at my husband , and shot him dead . todd : post - traumatic stress disorder does not just happen to soldiers in war . sometimes it happens to people whose mothers kidnap them and torture them and hold them captive for eight , long years . téa : yes , i know . eight years . that 's your excuse for everything , todd . todd : eight years , that bastard victor lived my life -- and loved all of the people that i care about . blair and starr and jack and yes , delgado , you . i know you do n't want to hear this , and for the life of me , i can not remember right at this moment why , but i missed you . téa : [ sighs ] todd : and i will never shed a single tear for poor , dead victor . but i am sorry that you are in pain right now . téa : do you want to know what you can do with your apology ? todd : if you want to blame somebody , blame my psycho mother , may she rot in hell . but you leave me out of it . téa : oh , so -- so that 's it ? you 're telling me to get over it ? todd : yeah , pretty much . that 's what i 'm telling you to do . felicia : spinelli , thank you so much for your detective work . maxie always speaks so highly of you . georgie did , too . i can see why . mac : i , uh , i know i 've given you a hard time over the years , but you 've really come through on this . i owe you . felicia : no , we both do . spinelli : my only wish was to exonerate maxie . someone so aglow and full of heart should not be languishing in darkness . for her , i would do just about anything . felicia : i 'm glad you did . matt : what 's going on ? olivia : what do you mean , maggie 's out of the picture ? heather : well , is n't it obvious ? maggie confessed . they 're probably arresting her as we speak . and then they will take her someplace far , far away where she will never , ever hurt anyone again . i 'm gon na go freshen up . we 'll be on our way to kelly 's in no time . steven : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] olivia : honey , it 's so good to see your face . steven : you 're a sight for sore eyes yourself . hmm . olivia : every time i think that you almost spent the rest of your life in prison because of johnny , i just -- steven : what about johnny ? olivia : did you not know ? he 's the one that turned you in to the memphis police . but do n't you worry . i 'm gon na pay him back double . steven : you know what ? do n't . do n't bother . just -- just let johnny be . olivia : what ? let him be ? after what he did to you ? steven : i 'm more worried about what 's gon na happen to maggie . olivia : you 're right . that -- that just does n't make any sense . she did n't have anything to do with your patient dying . why would she confess to this ? steven : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . téa : arrogant son of a bitch . you want to make a deal ? todd : what kind of a deal ? téa : [ chuckles ] i 'll get over losing victor when you get over losing your family . oh . oh , wait . that 's not really a fair deal . because you can always worm your way back into their good graces . todd : well , they say that everybody 's good at one thing . téa : yeah , you are good at that one thing . but a reunion for victor and me , that 's never gon na happen . all i have left of him is this child , a child that i will raise by myself . todd : you 're not alone . you 're not . téa : i do n't have my baby 's father ! todd : you 've got your brother with the funny name . téa : okay , now shut up ! get out ! i ca n't stand the sight of you ! todd : door 's right there . téa : [ sighs ] i 'm here to help starr . get out . she needs me , all right ? todd : she needs an attorney . there are plenty of attorneys . i - i had a great attorney . i - i was acquitted . i 'm sure that my attorney can -- can negotiate the same for her . téa : for once in your life , todd manning , think about what 's best for your daughter , okay ? she needs someone she can trust . todd : she needs to win . come here . all right ? i 'm here . i 'll take good care of you . why do n't you just tell -- tell téa that you do n't need her ? téa : [ scoffs ] starr : i do need her . todd : sweetie , we can get you an attorney that 's not one of my bitter ex- wives . starr : dad , i 'm glad that you came here . i am , but i think it would be best if you -- if you just left . téa : [ sighs , sniffles ] todd : all right . whatever you want . i , um -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry that you 're having such a - a difficult time . téa : [ sighs ] todd : i - if you screw things up with her , you 'll have to answer to me . i love you . elizabeth : i 'm not gon na pretend our situations are the same , but i do know what it 's like to keep a secret from the man you love , to be afraid to admit something you 've done . and i know what it 's like to lose everything because of it . kate : is that what happened between you and lucky ?

[ scene_break ] j.r. : i said and did some horrible things before your attack . after they told me that you were dead , i hated myself for hurting you , for threatening you . i told tad and jamie if i ever had the chance to do it over again , that i would trust you completely . no doubts , no more questions . but i never thought that i 'd ever have this chance again . and now that i do , i 'm sticking to my word , and i hope that today will prove that . babe : just because you 're playing remorseful does n't mean that you actually are . j.r. : maybe not . but if you look at the facts -- i have n't run off with little adam . i have n't called my lawyer . i have n't said anything about krystal 's secret , and i did n't go off on josh . babe : you wished i died instead of dixie . j.r. : i hate that i said that . babe : i do believe that you regret it . but it wo n't last . you 'll turn on me again , and then mama 's secret wo n't be safe , and i 'll be terrified of losing my son . for so long , i tried to believe that you could change , j.r. , but all i can ever count on is that someway you 'll find a way to hate me again .

[ scene_break ] j.r. : i 've given you a million excuses to end this marriage for good , but somehow we 've always found a way back to each other . and i believed that . babe : now you 're the believer ? j.r. : you 're right . it 's my turn to convince you that we 're worth fighting for . we 're going to make this work , babe . i 'm going to make sure of it . and as far as krystal is concerned , i wo n't say anything about her secret . and i mean it . and i will prove to you that i can keep my word . anything to make you love me again . [ scene_break ] josh : well , you know how it is with secrets , tad . some are better left buried . tad : take it easy . i just want to help babe . josh : yeah , well , i just wanted justice for the man who raised me , but it did n't turn out that way , now , did it ? i did n't say anything about your secret , now you can drop this one . tad : josh , you know better than anybody how close babe came to dying . i say she suffered enough . now , i can get through to j.r . he will listen to me , he will trust me . and whether you know it or not , you can trust me , too . all i want to do is help , and all you have to do is tell me . if you want -- babe does n't -- josh : damn it , tad , you ca n't help , so drop this .

[ scene_break ] j.r. : i said and did some horrible things before your attack . after they told me that you were dead , i hated myself for hurting you , for threatening you . i told tad and jamie if i ever had the chance to do it over again , that i would trust you completely . no doubts , no more questions . but i never thought that i 'd ever have this chance again . and now that i do , i 'm sticking to my word , and i hope that today will prove that . babe : just because you 're playing remorseful does n't mean that you actually are . j.r. : maybe not . but if you look at the facts -- i have n't run off with little adam . i have n't called my lawyer . i have n't said anything about krystal 's secret , and i did n't go off on josh . babe : you wished i died instead of dixie . j.r. : i hate that i said that . babe : i do believe that you regret it . but it wo n't last . you 'll turn on me again , and then mama 's secret wo n't be safe , and i 'll be terrified of losing my son . for so long , i tried to believe that you could change , j.r. , but all i can ever count on is that someway you 'll find a way to hate me again .

[ scene_break ] j.r. : i 've given you a million excuses to end this marriage for good , but somehow we 've always found a way back to each other . and i believed that . babe : now you 're the believer ? j.r. : you 're right . it 's my turn to convince you that we 're worth fighting for . we 're going to make this work , babe . i 'm going to make sure of it . and as far as krystal is concerned , i wo n't say anything about her secret . and i mean it . and i will prove to you that i can keep my word . anything to make you love me again . [ scene_break ] josh : well , you know how it is with secrets , tad . some are better left buried . tad : take it easy . i just want to help babe . josh : yeah , well , i just wanted justice for the man who raised me , but it did n't turn out that way , now , did it ? i did n't say anything about your secret , now you can drop this one . tad : josh , you know better than anybody how close babe came to dying . i say she suffered enough . now , i can get through to j.r . he will listen to me , he will trust me . and whether you know it or not , you can trust me , too . all i want to do is help , and all you have to do is tell me . if you want -- babe does n't -- josh : damn it , tad , you ca n't help , so drop this . [ scene_break ] zach : i look around , i see all the incredible things you guys are doing , and i do n't want to turn my back on that . bianca : you need to do what feels right to you . this will survive , the miranda center will survive , maybe not quite the way it is now , but i 'm going to make sure it does n't disappear . and if it 's miranda you 're worried about , i promise you , she 's not going to miss her millions . zach : does it bother you that all this started because of what michael did to you ? bianca : i really do n't think about that anymore . i mean , when i hear the name cambias , i think about ethan and ryan and all the people i worked with in paris , and it has such good associations for me now . zach : better person than me . bianca : this did n't come easy . it did n't happen overnight . it 's because of a lot of help from people like kendall and ethan and ryan . mostly , it 's because of miranda . you know , before she was born , i had a lot of fears . i was afraid that i would n't -- i would n't be able to love her , because of the way she was conceived . i was afraid that when i looked at her , all i would see is michael . of course , that 's ridiculous . when i look at her , all i see is my beautiful daughter .

[ monitor beeping ] pam : still no luck ? eric : they 're sending a messenger out for john now . quinn : what about her mother ? eric : we have n't been able to get in touch with her , either . pam : well , maybe by the time you do , we 'll have good news . eric : yeah , maybe . this is a safe working environment . we 've never had an accident like this before . i 've always taken great pride in that . pam : carter 's been talking to jake . eric : yeah , well , i want to talk to him , too , as soon as we find out if ... ivy 's okay . god . i remember when john told me that they were pregnant again . they had been trying for so long , and that -- that just ... they 'd given up . and then along comes ivy . he called her his little miracle . and he still calls her that . what am i gon na say to him ? pam : what you are gon na say to him is that we are all praying for her and the power of prayer still works miracles . and it 's going to this time , too . that 's what you 're gon na say to him . [ monitor beeping ] i 'm bending the rules allowing you all to be in here . you need to make this brief . wyatt : is she , uh , still unconscious or ... ? yes . although studies report patients saying they heard and understood various conversations while unconscious .

[ sighs ] jack : see the position you 're putting the family in , asking them to choose , dividing us at a time we should all be coming together ? traci : especially now . ashley : are you on his side ? jack : of course she is . i 'm right ! traci : no , i did n't say that . i 'm just expressing my individual belief this family is facing serious challenges right now . jack : exactly . so back off . ashley : you know what ? you forced me to make this decision , jack . because of your irrational belief that you could be in control of everything all the time ! jack : now i 'm irrational ? ashley : i did n't mean irrational . jack : traci , did she say irrational ? ashley : i meant unrealistic for you to think you can run jabot from home while simultaneously taking care of our mother . traci : please , do we have to rehash this over and over ? jack : she 's the one who keeps bringing this up . what i 've done , i 've done for our family . ashley : oh , you 're such a martyr , are n't you ? please . give me a break . you did this because you 're in love with being the king of all things jabot . dina : enough ! stop all of this chatter immediately before my bridge club arrives ! and for god sakes , act your age , the pair of you . jack : mother , it is 2017 . we are all adults . dina : why are you two even fighting ? traci : mother , we really do n't need to go into that -- dina : answer me ! jack : we were having a disagreement . ashley : it 's just a business matter . dina : stop being so condescending and secretive . i have n't lost it yet . and you 're no better hiding things from me now than when you were children . ashley : we 're just trying to figure out how to manage jabot under the new circumstances that we 're in , so i called a meeting of the board to try to figure out who should be in charge . dina : oh , i see . a confidence vote to decide whether jack should remain c.e.o . [ voice breaking ] because i 'm sick . jack : no . dina : i caused all of this because ... jack : no . mother . dina : ... i am sick . traci : no , no , mother . let 's calm down , and let 's not talk about this , especially not before your bridge club , okay ? dina : it 's too late for that . traci : come on . let 's go get you ready . what do you want to wear ? dina : oh , i do n't care . it does n't matter . traci : it does matter . [ chatter ] ashley : why do you have to be so damn stubborn ? it was your choice to stay home and take care of mother . jack : do n't you blame this on mother . it is not your fault . it 's yours .

nikki : oh , no . no . everything is fine there . ironic , considering where i might be headed . nick : all right , what 's going on ? nikki : okay , um ... you know that newman is being audited . nick : yeah , because of the , uh , the sex ring that that guy zack was running . nikki : yeah , they 're trying to figure out how deeply involved your father was in it . nick : dad would never be involved with the exploitation of young women like that . nikki : of course not . you and i both know that . but while they were investigating , they also looked into his personal accounts , and they found some questionable activity . nick : is that what you 're worried about ? mom , mom , relax , okay ? yeah , you are still married , but you can not be held responsible for anything illegal he does with his money . nikki : no , it 's not that simple -- nick : and you 've been living apart for months . nikki : you do n't understand . nick : you 're gon na be fine . but if it 'll help , i will call you an attorney . nikki : can i just tell you that i did it , okay ? what they found , the red flag on his account , it was me ! i embezzled the money from your father . being in love is an amazing thing . ravi : however the board votes , you 'll be taking on more responsibility . ashley : yes , i 'm gon na have a lot of late nights . ravi : then my timing 's perfect . ashley : why ? did you come up with some software that 'll speed up my research ? ravi : more like slow you down . ashley : what ? ravi : picture this -- a bungalow overlooking nothing but the ocean where you can just put away your problems and stress and just be in hawaii . ashley : a trip ? ravi : yes . it was gon na be my christmas present to you , but i figured i 'd give you a heads up with everything going on . ashley : ravi ... ravi : we will have our own private beach . i mean , we 'll still have wi - fi . i figured , you know , it 'd stress you out if we didn't . ashley : it sounds wonderful . i ca n't -- i ca n't go . ravi : i should have given you more notice . ashley : no , i - i ca n't go because it would be unfair to you . oh , boy , you know , you are so incredible . you 're so passionate , and you 're so considerate , and i think -- i did n't mean to , but i think i 've been leading you on . you know , it just felt so good to be appreciated by you and desired by you , and ... ravi : you know , i should n't have sprung this on you . it 's -- it 's really okay . ashley : ravi , i need to say this . i have to say this . and i just think that i 've been kind of using you . i 'm sorry . i mean , only because i did n't want to have to think about what was going on at work and what was going on with my mother and ... oh , my god , it 's something my mother would do is use people that way . ravi : [ sighs ] so i was just a diversion , a distraction from everything else going on in your life . ashley : a very handsome , very sexy , incredible , amazing diversion . i 'm sorry . i should have been honest with you from the very beginning . ravi : it was my choice . i mean , i know what this is . ashley : but you want more , and you deserve to have more . ravi : look , i do n't need to hear about how we 're in different points in our lives or how many times you 've been married . none of that matters . ashley : what does matter is what we want . what we both want . ravi : you do n't want to be with me . okay . ashley : i 'm sorry . ravi : no , i - i get it . i hear what you 're saying . i 've always been good at that . ashley : so , do you think you might take that job at newman after all ? ravi : i do n't know . um , i need to think about it . and , uh , you got a board meeting to prepare for . ashley : okay . ravi : [ sighs ] jack : stability . that 's what our customers and our business partners want to see at the top . you of all people should appreciate that . billy : as the most unstable of the clan ? jack : no , as a corporate executive who helped put brash & sassy back on the map . billy : not sure you want to bring up brash & sassy , jack . you did everything you could to drive us into the ground . jack : that was business . billy : nice spin . jack : i have to see it that way , otherwise i 'd still be angry at you for stealing my mother 's password . billy : ah , but that was just business . jack : i accept that both you and i had to make certain decisions . billy : like unilaterally going after my mother 's company ? jack : you really want cane running chancellor ? look , billy , you and i have been through a lot . i have always been there for you . when you were trapped in the underground fire ... billy : i was wondering how long you were gon na take to bring that up . jack : i risked my life to save yours . billy : just a smidgen of guilt on there . jack : and a dollop of `` you owe me . `` billy : you 're right , jack . i do . i owe you . to be the best brother that i can be , like you have been to me . jack : this is n't just about loyalty to each other . this is a vote for dad . this is standing up for him and his legacy . look at my record . look at my successes . they alone should tell you there is only one logical outcome here . ashley : jack is n't capable of running the company , billy . it 's a simple statement of fact . billy : facts according to ashley abbott . ashley : please . you 've seen him in action yourself , how his emotions cloud his better judgment . you really want me to remind you of how he badmouthed you to the hockey league ? billy : i do n't need a reminder , no . although you could bring it up with the board members , might help turn the tide . ashley : but not with you ? billy : i laughed with jack today . he does n't hate me , ashley . i do n't want to go back to that . ashley : what if i hate you ? billy : you 're just more forgiving . ashley : look , you know me . i would never , ever do something like this unless i thought it was completely necessary . for the good of our company , for the good of our family , we have got to take the title of c.e.o . away from jack . jack : if i thought for one second i was n't the right person to run jabot , i would n't even allow a vote . i would step aside immediately . abby : i just ca n't believe it 's come to this . mom must have a reason , though , right ? jack : she 's always ... you know what ? i 'm not going to question her motives . i 'm not gon na take this personally . abby : well , how could you not ? when my dad brought victoria back to newman , it showed how little confidence he had in me , and that hurt . jack : i 've been here before , more than once . you know what ? i was always the outlier , the one who brought fresh ideas that the old guard was gon na have problems with . i guess that 's why i still think it 's important to promote and encourage innovation . abby : like when i came to you with my project . jack : that 's a perfect example . how long did it take me to buy you that warehouse ? no time at all . and then when you decided to take the project to victor ? abby : you were furious . jack : yes , i was , but i eventually made peace with that . the important thing is , i believed in you . i still do , probably more than anyone else . and if you want a job at a family company where you are valued and appreciated , there is always a job for you at jabot . ashley : i 'm taking this step for your uncle jack 's best interests . abby : so you 're kicking him out of his job ? ashley : no , he 's overextended , abby . he 's the one who chose to be your grandmother 's primary caregiver . abby : well , that 's admirable . he should n't be punished . ashley : and i 'm not punishing him . but with these extra responsibilities , your uncle has been making some bad decisions . abby : are you sure there 's absolutely no other way ? ashley : i really am hoping that at the end of the day , your uncle jack is gon na be grateful to have this decision taken out of his hands . jack : the bottom line is , it is no secret that i saved fenmore 's . lauren : [ scoffs ] after you drove off all the investors i wanted to work with , i was forced to come to you . jack : my methods were aggressive , but the partnership has been beneficial , no ? lauren : in many ways . jack : then i can count on your support ? lauren : if you show your continued commitment to fenmore 's , by say putting more money toward our marketing of the brick - and - mortar stores , i think that might give me a lot more confidence in you , jack . jack : then we understand each other perfectly . ashley : and if jack goes through with his plans to purchase chancellor ... lauren : what ? ashley : oh , i think that 's very interesting that he failed to mention that to you , especially considering it will directly affect the resources that are available to fenmore 's . lauren : unless jack and i make a deal beforehand . ashley : do you honestly think he 'll abide by it ? do n't forget -- he offered to lease space to brash & sassy and then turned around and raised their rent to an exorbitant amount . lauren : that behavior sounds more like victor . ashley : does n't it ? i do n't trust my brother 's judgment . i do n't trust him to keep his word , lauren . and it would be irresponsible of me -- actually , all of us -- if we did n't take action now . lauren : jack is the devil that i know . a new c.e.o . may not give fenmore 's the consideration we deserve . ashley : i can promise you this . if i were to become c.e.o . , i would make sure that fenmore 's was our top priority . phyllis : surprised at the call . i assumed that you 'd be out securing votes for the board meeting . you 're not sure you have this nailed down . jack : not yet . which is why i need you to do something for me . nick : [ sighs ] mom , that is a lot of money . um , and you not only embezzled it , but you stashed it into an offshore account ? i mean , um ... nikki : you 're disappointed in me . i know . nick : disappointed ? i 'm impressed . how did you even do something like that ? nikki : well , the opportunity just presented itself to me , and i could n't resist . nick : is this because of me , because dad took the money from my accounts ? nikki : no . it might have sparked something , but no . i did this for myself . i wanted him to understand how it felt to have somebody else totally controlling his life , and he would have nothing to say or do about it . i secretly got pleasure out of that . and now because of my daring and smugness , i might be arrested . nick : well , embezzling money is n't something you learn overnight . you had to have help . i 'm not asking for names . in fact , do n't tell me . but whoever did this must have had the skill to be able to cover your tracks . nikki : well , i assumed that also until i found out that j.t . got assigned the case . nick : do you think he 's gon na figure out you did it ? nikki : he already did . nick : what ? nikki : yeah , victoria and i both talked to him . we appealed to him , but he insisted there 's nothing he can do , that the law is the law . nick : but this is a family thing . i mean , yeah , it involves a ridiculous amount of money , but this is what newmans do . this has nothing to do with the criminal investigation . nikki : it does n't matter . i did it . i took the risk . i went too far . there 's no escaping this . ashley : hey . have you decided , you know , if you 're gon na stay or go to newman ? ravi : well , i 'd like to stay , if that 's okay with you . ashley : yeah ! yeah , i mean , if -- if ... ravi : no , i understand our relationship is strictly professional now . but what has n't changed is that i still enjoy working for you . ashley : even though we 're not paying you as much as victoria offered ? ravi : i know my value , and i 'll renegotiate when the time is right , so be ready for that . ashley : okay . i 'm counting on it . ravi : i like the freedom i 'm given here and the working environment we 've created . ashley : i will fight to maintain that environment , ravi . ravi : you can do it . you can do anything . ashley : thanks . abby : mwah . traci : hi , sweetie . billy : hey . [ clears throat ] ashley : hello . thank you all for coming . [ door closes ] before we get started , i compiled some information that i think you 'll find useful for your vote . hi , lauren . lauren : hi . ashley : here you go . could you pass some of these down ? abby : of course . ashley : thank you . and as of ... right now , jack is late . billy : well , that does n't exactly inspire confidence , does it ? ashley : no . billy : wow . tough crowd . traci : let 's do this . gloria , uh , hi . could you please tell jack -- jack : hello , everyone . how are you all ? sis , may i ? traci : yes . jack : gloria , could you please send in one more chair for our late arrival ? thank you . abby : wait . who 's missing ? foster ? abby : no , he abstained . he wo n't be here . jack : please welcome our newest board member . ashley : what ? ! you ca n't do that ! you ca n't just appoint somebody to the board ! jack : turns out i can . look at the bylaws . i 'm the c.e.o . i can appoint a new board member any time i want . traci : but , jack , why phyllis , of all people ? jack : because this board needs someone with expertise in e - commerce and digital . traci : so , fine . but why her ? jack : the fact that she has caused me personal pain only tells you that i have put the company 's interests first . ashley : oh , my -- it 's obvious to everybody in this room why you appointed her five minutes before the meeting , jack . gloria : and coming through . mind the feet , phyllis . ashley : next to lauren , please . gloria : there you go . can i get anybody anything ? coffee , pens , paper , whatever . jack : maybe you can get ashley more water . she appears to have overheated suddenly . [ cellphone chimes ] ashley : i 'm fine , thank you . so shall we do this ? would you like me to call this meeting to order , jack ? jack : thank you . as c.e.o . , i 'm more than capable . ashley : well , i guess that 's what we 're here to determine . my dad 's . jack : i do n't need this job . i do n't need the money . i 'm not in it for the prestige . i 'm not here to make friends . the reason i am here , the reason we are all here , is because of a promise i made to my father a long time ago . corny as that sounds , it 's true . john abbott had a great idea . i still believe that to this day . it 's as simple as that . what is n't simple is change in changing times . it requires a certain adaptability , a certain singleness of purpose . it allows you to make the difficult decisions , the unpopular decisions . sometimes you 're required to ask someone to play a new role , temporarily , and then step away from it . it 's not a personal decision . it 's the best decision for the company at the time . ashley : please do n't imply that that 's why i called this meeting , jack . abby : mom . jack : no , i 'm not implying -- in fact , i am implying that we have the same motive -- loyalty to this company , to make it as strong , as vibrant as we can so that we can come up with the next great idea . on my way here , i stopped to talk to the workmen who are renovating the lab , where i am expecting my sister , the innovator of the year award winner , to do just that -- to innovate , the come up with the next great thing . i am incredibly proud of my sister . i 'm wildly enthusiastic about us working together . i could n't bring my father 's dream to a realization without her . we have to do it together , building on the success we 've already established , the success we 've already enjoyed . and with that , i think we should bring this to a vote . traci : i second the motion . ashley : before we do that , i 'd like to offer some perspective and some facts , a reminder about that deal i closed with cartwright last week that jack shot down behind my back because i was the one that negotiated it . jack : it was a bad deal . ashley : that 's not true . it would have given us a substantial fourth quarter , and you know it . this is n't about one deal , however . this is about a pattern of behavior that started long before jack asked me to step in . another reminder -- the messy fight he 's had going on with brash & sassy where decisions had been made based on personal vendettas . jack : i think billy and i have agreed that sometimes business gets messy . sometimes you have to get your hands dirty . ashley : then how about your kneejerk decision to buy chancellor without consulting anyone ? abby : well , this is the first i 've heard about that . jack : chancellor is a game changer . ashley : okay , so do you have a game plan ? any kind of business plan , projections , anything ? jack : sometimes you have to work on instinct . ashley : right , instinct . look , i understand that my brother 's been under a tremendous amount of pressure , which is why i was happy to step in , take over so he could spend more time at home with our ailing mother . however , i think it 's completely unrealistic to think that he can run a company of this size and magnitude outside of the office . jack : i am handling things just fine , thank you . ashley : are you ? i got a call from sandra yesterday . sandra is our newest supplier . you had a video call with her . apparently our mother walked in on it , thinking that sandra was her daughter , traci . traci : jack , why did n't you tell me this ? if you need more help at home -- jack : i 've already hired more staff . nothing like that will happen again . ashley : jack , you do n't know that . mother 's disease is unpredictable . now , i was able to smooth things over with sandra . she did n't lose any confidence in our company . jack : do n't do this , ash . ashley : i have to wonder , why are you so intent on running jabot from home ? is it because you want to continue to act on impulse unchecked ? do you want to continue to make decisions based on personal vendettas ? ! jack : i asked you to stop . ashley : fine . on the matter of the current c.e.o . , i move to vote confidence / no confidence . nikki : michael is convinced that the prosecution will argue that victor and i were working together . nick : yeah , they 're gon na assume that dad asked you to hide assets in your name so he could avoid them getting seized . nikki : unfortunately , i really do n't see a way out of this . nick : what about the hacker who did this ? i mean , he or she could testify that this has nothing to do with newman or designdate . nikki : then the d.a . will either say that the hacker is lying or that i kept that person in the dark . christine and the feds want to see victor prosecuted , and they 're not going to stop until they can connect him and newman to this sex ring . nick : the embezzlement provides a narrative . nikki : [ sighs ] well , the inescapable truth is that i did steal the money . it 's a felony , nicholas , up to 10 years in prison . and i do n't look good in orange . nick : i 'm scared for you . [ cellphone chimes ] who 's that from ? nikki : your father . `` please join me at the ranch at your convenience . a matter of mutual interest . `` nick : that 's weird . i mean , just after you admit to j.t . that you 're behind the theft , he wants to see you ? nikki : `` mutual interest . `` nick : yeah , i 'm not buying that . dad only looks out for himself . look , if you 're going , i 'm coming with you . nikki : no . i have to do this alone . ashley : that 's one vote `` no confidence `` so far . jack : well , we 'll see how long that lasts . who 's next ? lauren : i vote that jack stays . jack : thank you , lauren . it appears the sands are shifting . phyllis ? phyllis : i , too , support jack staying . ashley : what a surprise . i hope you got a lot for that . phyllis : what greater reward than a seat on the board of this very fine company ? jack : abby ? abby : i vote ... `` no confidence . `` jack : i thought you ... abby : i 'm sorry . mom made some good arguments . jack : and , of course , it has an added benefit . you can make points with victor by telling him you weakened our company for his benefit . ashley : that 's not fair , jack . do n't talk to my daughter that way . abby : mom , it 's okay . i got this . look , uncle jack , earlier today you praised me for my forward thinking , said you were proud to be my uncle and that you 'd be honored to work beside me . and be proud of this -- i voted with my conscience , and i 'm certain it 's the right decision . billy : so i guess it 's , uh , my turn . [ clears throat ] `` no confidence . `` jack : here you are coasting along on this company 's profits , and you seem to be working against your own self - interest for the momentary pleasure of sticking it to me . billy : you 're not in a good place , jack . you do n't even see it . jack : traci , you have the final vote . traci : [ sighs ] i am very concerned about how much jack has taken on . but i have confidence in my brother . i vote jack stays . abby : so ... ashley : it 's a tie . victor : thank you , roberta . nikki : what is all this ? victor : it 's an appreciation . nikki : of ? victor : all we have been through , who we are . i wanted to create a perfect moment in time . nikki : oh , my god . is this ... ? victor : it 's the very one . nikki : i had forgotten all about it . you gave me this right before we boarded the jet ... when you took me to an island in the norwegian sea because i wanted to see the northern lights . victor : it was a beautiful night , was n't it ? nikki : a manipulation couched in romance . we had argued . victor : well , if we had n't argued , you would not have remembered the beautiful sights . would you ? nikki : are you saying that my life is richer because of your lies and deceit ? victor : our life . we chose not to be ordinary . unless , of course , you have taken up needlepoint . nikki : [ chuckles ] good god . well , what if i said that i have ? victor : that would come in handy . in prison . phyllis : there has to be a solution offered in the event of a tie . tossing a coin , reading the bloody entrails of a ritual sacrifice . i do n't know . traci : now there 's an idea . abby : you did a wonderful thing making a commitment to look after dina . she needs you now . why not just step down ? jack : it is not an either / or situation , abby . i feel a deep commitment to the people whose livelihoods this company provides . that includes their parents and their children . ashley : this company has run without you before , and quite well . billy : hell , even i 've had my time in the c.e.o . chair . place is still standing . jack : well , i am the current c.e.o . , and as i see it , failure to get enough votes to remove me is equivalent to saying i should remain . ashley : no , it 's not . sorry . gloria : there is one board member who has n't been heard from yet . jack : i knew he would come through . traci : kyle ? gloria : his vote just arrived via special courier . abby : just in time . the tiebreaking vote . gloria : oh , my . is n't that exciting ? lauren : so , how did he vote ? gloria : you think i looked ? ashley : could you please ? please just open the envelope . jack : yes , please . gloria : okay . the decision as to whether jack should stay on as c.e.o . or go is ... billy : well ? jack : gloria ? gloria : i ca n't believe it . jack : `` no confidence . `` gloria : you 've been voted out , jack . nick : thanks for coming over . this is n't something i wanted to get into over the phone . michael : of course . when you said it was about nikki ... nick : mom fessed up . she said she 's the one behind the embezzlement . michael : right . nick : what are you gon na do to keep her out of prison ? michael : well , i am currently trying to create a defense , but it 's challenging . nick : she did n't do anything wrong . they 're married . the money 's community property . michael : i agree , but it looks like the authorities are trying to make an example of her . nick : she is scared to death , michael . michael : she has reason to be . nikki : so you 're enjoying this . victor : mnh - mnh . i just woke up one morning to find that an inordinate amount of money had been removed from my bank account without my knowledge , so then i started to make a list of my enemies . nikki : long list . victor : but not only did i feel violated . i realized that the movement of that sum of money would arouse the interest of law enforcement . they would think i had something to hide . nikki : do n't you always ? victor : well , i 'm good at it . nikki : bravo . you figured out it was me . victor : why ? nikki : it had nothing to do with wanting to get you into legal trouble . victor : did you want to teach me a lesson ? nikki : you had it coming . i wanted you to know what it felt like to be violated , not that the authorities will give a lick about that when they arrive any minute to take me away . so in the meantime , you have your fun . mock me . rail at me . go ahead . victor : i can make all this go away , have all the charges dropped if you come back to this ranch , to this house , and our marriage . on my terms . or i can call the police , have them arrest you . what would you like me to do ? | traci tried to play peacemaker between jack and ashley . dina blamed herself when she learned that ashley and jack were fighting for jabot . ashley admitted to ravi that she did n't want to be with him romantically , and they agreed to keep things strictly professional . nikki told nick that she embezzled money from victor 's account . michael and lauren discussed using her vote to help fenmore 's . billy considered skipping the board meeting so he would n't have to choose sides , but phyllis told him it was important to make a decision . jack and ashley met with board members to try and secure their votes . jack made phyllis a board member in an attempt to stack the votes for himself . the vote was tied . abby , billy and morgan sided ashley . phyllis , lauren and traci voted for jack . kyle was the tie breaker , and he stunned his father by voting against him . victor set up a romantic dinner for nikki at the ranch . he told her that she could either come back to him and he 'd make the charges go away , or he for turn her in for embezzlement . nick asked michael to help keep nikki out of prison . michael was trying , but he did n't think it would be easy . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] jack : this is the details of jabot 's offer to purchase chancellor industries . ashley : jack ca n't purchase a company as valuable as chancellor on a whim . you and i have to make some calls . call a meeting with the board for tomorrow , before jack takes it too far . nikki : i want you to go after victor as underhandedly as he went after me . siphon his personal bank account and put it into one of my offshore accounts . victor : do n't you think for one moment that he 's not capable of plotting such a caper . victoria : it was n't jack . it was mom . j.t . : it 's gon na come as a shock to nikki that you know what she did , that she 's off the hook with the authorities . victor : do me a favor . do n't let her know that she has been cleared . i want to convey that news to her myself . nick : the rally at the park was awesome . i mean , people love that park . they use it . they fought for it . and just because some anonymous bidder came in and scooped it up and is gon na do god knows what with it , do n't think that this is over . nikki : could n't be any worse than what your father had planned . nick : mom , you okay ? nikki : yeah . of course . why do you ask ? nick : i do n't know . you seem , uh ... nikki : i seem distracted ? i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i am . it 's just one of those days , i guess . nick : i think it 's more than that . talk to me . what 's going on ? victor : i want the finest china , the marquis candlesticks , and a huge bouquet of flowers . how about one red rose , okay ? it 's a special evening for our special guest . traci : um , [ clears throat ] they have done a spectacular job of decorating downtown , so what do you think ? maybe after dinner , we could get in the car , go look at the lights ? jack : if we 're still speaking at that point . ashley : pass the sugar , please . jack : oh , you have confidence in my ability to do that ? ashley : absolutely , 'cause i 'm looking right at you , so i 'm quite certain you 're not trying to do something behind my back . traci : [ sighs ] ashley : thank you . traci : you realize you are both being just ridiculous . ashley : oh , really ? because i 'm looking out for what 's best for our company ? jack : oh ... traci : ashley , you could have handled this differently . you did n't have to call a board meeting and a confidence vote on jack . ashley : i tried , but your brother would n't listen . jack : whilst your sister fails to see the distinction between not hearing her and disagreeing with her . ashley : how many times did i attempt , but your brother refused to see ? jack : you could have called traci . you could have gotten billy and abby together . we could have had a family conference , butted heads in private . instead you set up a situation which will cause the public to question not just me but jabot , our products , our services ! ashley : you know what , jack ? you would have brushed them off just like you always do . jack : you do n't know that ! ashley : yes , i do . you know what i did ? i made a huge mistake . i should have called this board meeting months ago . jack : traci , do you still have confidence in my ability to continue running this company ? traci : [ scoffs ] no , no , no , no . i am going to listen to both sides and then make my decision , just like everyone else . lauren : i just can not take my mind off of this , uh , board of directors meeting and what it could mean for fenmore 's . michael : as one of the few non - abbotts in the room , you could have a lot of influence . lauren : are you suggesting that i demand something for fenmore 's in exchange for my vote ? michael : [ chuckles ] i would never advocate pay for play , but ... lauren : but i could make suggestions . strong suggestions . michael : hmm . about what could make you gain or lose confidence in jack . lauren : hmm . billy : does n't matter what i do . somebody 's gon na be pissed off at me . i could abstain . you know , i could just not show up . phyllis : like that is n't gon na piss anyone off ? billy : [ sighs ] life was so much easier when jack was n't speaking to me . phyllis : look , i know that you do n't want to get caught up in the family drama , but this is a big deal , and you are smart . your vote really could determine the future of your family and jabot . billy : no pressure , then . [ sighs ] jack : see the position you 're putting the family in , asking them to choose , dividing us at a time we should all be coming together ? traci : especially now . ashley : are you on his side ? jack : of course she is . i 'm right ! traci : no , i did n't say that . i 'm just expressing my individual belief this family is facing serious challenges right now . jack : exactly . so back off . ashley : you know what ? you forced me to make this decision , jack . because of your irrational belief that you could be in control of everything all the time ! jack : now i 'm irrational ? ashley : i did n't mean irrational . jack : traci , did she say irrational ? ashley : i meant unrealistic for you to think you can run jabot from home while simultaneously taking care of our mother . traci : please , do we have to rehash this over and over ? jack : she 's the one who keeps bringing this up . what i 've done , i 've done for our family . ashley : oh , you 're such a martyr , are n't you ? please . give me a break . you did this because you 're in love with being the king of all things jabot . dina : enough ! stop all of this chatter immediately before my bridge club arrives ! and for god sakes , act your age , the pair of you . jack : mother , it is 2017 . we are all adults . dina : why are you two even fighting ? traci : mother , we really do n't need to go into that -- dina : answer me ! jack : we were having a disagreement . ashley : it 's just a business matter . dina : stop being so condescending and secretive . i have n't lost it yet . and you 're no better hiding things from me now than when you were children . ashley : we 're just trying to figure out how to manage jabot under the new circumstances that we 're in , so i called a meeting of the board to try to figure out who should be in charge . dina : oh , i see . a confidence vote to decide whether jack should remain c.e.o . [ voice breaking ] because i 'm sick . jack : no . dina : i caused all of this because ... jack : no . mother . dina : ... i am sick . traci : no , no , mother . let 's calm down , and let 's not talk about this , especially not before your bridge club , okay ? dina : it 's too late for that . traci : come on . let 's go get you ready . what do you want to wear ? dina : oh , i do n't care . it does n't matter . traci : it does matter . [ chatter ] ashley : why do you have to be so damn stubborn ? it was your choice to stay home and take care of mother . jack : do n't you blame this on mother . it is not your fault . it 's yours . [ door closes ] did you make those calls ? gloria : yep . and even had face time with other assistants . jack : how are my votes looking ? where are things leaning ? gloria : in general , there is resistance to change . jack : good . gloria : yes . sentiment favors `` continuity of management . `` jack : oh , dear . gloria : oh , dear . except for ashley , of course , whose motive is clouded by good ol ' sibling rivalry . jack : and they do n't like ashley . that 's even better for us . gloria : however , perception is everything . and your image as the strong , stable force at the top has been eroding because you are no longer a permanent presence in this office ! jack : cut to the bottom line . gloria : foster 's abstaining . morgan will be at the meeting . jack : morgan 's gon na go with ashley . gloria : mm - hmm . jack : have you heard from -- gloria : not yet . but even with that , it could go either way , jack . jack : i need to do some campaigning . ravi : hey . ashley : hi . ravi : hey , there are rumors going around about a board meeting today . ashley : what else have you heard ? ravi : [ sighs ] that they might be removing jack . ashley : well , we 're trying to keep it quiet , but yeah , the plan is to have a vote of confidence / no confidence . ravi : [ sighs ] what do you think 's gon na happen ? ashley : i think there 's a good chance that jack will win , and i ca n't let him . nick : chelsea 's gon na be gone all day , and the kids are at daycare , so ... nikki : well , honey , i appreciate the privacy . i 'm just not sure if i should bring you in on this . nick : mom , is it your health ? nikki : oh , no . no . everything is fine there . ironic , considering where i might be headed . nick : all right , what 's going on ? nikki : okay , um ... you know that newman is being audited . nick : yeah , because of the , uh , the sex ring that that guy zack was running . nikki : yeah , they 're trying to figure out how deeply involved your father was in it . nick : dad would never be involved with the exploitation of young women like that . nikki : of course not . you and i both know that . but while they were investigating , they also looked into his personal accounts , and they found some questionable activity . nick : is that what you 're worried about ? mom , mom , relax , okay ? yeah , you are still married , but you can not be held responsible for anything illegal he does with his money . nikki : no , it 's not that simple -- nick : and you 've been living apart for months . nikki : you do n't understand . nick : you 're gon na be fine . but if it 'll help , i will call you an attorney . nikki : can i just tell you that i did it , okay ? what they found , the red flag on his account , it was me ! i embezzled the money from your father . being in love is an amazing thing . ravi : however the board votes , you 'll be taking on more responsibility . ashley : yes , i 'm gon na have a lot of late nights . ravi : then my timing 's perfect . ashley : why ? did you come up with some software that 'll speed up my research ? ravi : more like slow you down . ashley : what ? ravi : picture this -- a bungalow overlooking nothing but the ocean where you can just put away your problems and stress and just be in hawaii . ashley : a trip ? ravi : yes . it was gon na be my christmas present to you , but i figured i 'd give you a heads up with everything going on . ashley : ravi ... ravi : we will have our own private beach . i mean , we 'll still have wi - fi . i figured , you know , it 'd stress you out if we didn't . ashley : it sounds wonderful . i ca n't -- i ca n't go . ravi : i should have given you more notice . ashley : no , i - i ca n't go because it would be unfair to you . oh , boy , you know , you are so incredible . you 're so passionate , and you 're so considerate , and i think -- i did n't mean to , but i think i 've been leading you on . you know , it just felt so good to be appreciated by you and desired by you , and ... ravi : you know , i should n't have sprung this on you . it 's -- it 's really okay . ashley : ravi , i need to say this . i have to say this . and i just think that i 've been kind of using you . i 'm sorry . i mean , only because i did n't want to have to think about what was going on at work and what was going on with my mother and ... oh , my god , it 's something my mother would do is use people that way . ravi : [ sighs ] so i was just a diversion , a distraction from everything else going on in your life . ashley : a very handsome , very sexy , incredible , amazing diversion . i 'm sorry . i should have been honest with you from the very beginning . ravi : it was my choice . i mean , i know what this is . ashley : but you want more , and you deserve to have more . ravi : look , i do n't need to hear about how we 're in different points in our lives or how many times you 've been married . none of that matters . ashley : what does matter is what we want . what we both want . ravi : you do n't want to be with me . okay . ashley : i 'm sorry . ravi : no , i - i get it . i hear what you 're saying . i 've always been good at that . ashley : so , do you think you might take that job at newman after all ? ravi : i do n't know . um , i need to think about it . and , uh , you got a board meeting to prepare for . ashley : okay . ravi : [ sighs ] jack : stability . that 's what our customers and our business partners want to see at the top . you of all people should appreciate that . billy : as the most unstable of the clan ? jack : no , as a corporate executive who helped put brash & sassy back on the map . billy : not sure you want to bring up brash & sassy , jack . you did everything you could to drive us into the ground . jack : that was business . billy : nice spin . jack : i have to see it that way , otherwise i 'd still be angry at you for stealing my mother 's password . billy : ah , but that was just business . jack : i accept that both you and i had to make certain decisions . billy : like unilaterally going after my mother 's company ? jack : you really want cane running chancellor ? look , billy , you and i have been through a lot . i have always been there for you . when you were trapped in the underground fire ... billy : i was wondering how long you were gon na take to bring that up . jack : i risked my life to save yours . billy : just a smidgen of guilt on there . jack : and a dollop of `` you owe me . `` billy : you 're right , jack . i do . i owe you . to be the best brother that i can be , like you have been to me . jack : this is n't just about loyalty to each other . this is a vote for dad . this is standing up for him and his legacy . look at my record . look at my successes . they alone should tell you there is only one logical outcome here . ashley : jack is n't capable of running the company , billy . it 's a simple statement of fact . billy : facts according to ashley abbott . ashley : please . you 've seen him in action yourself , how his emotions cloud his better judgment . you really want me to remind you of how he badmouthed you to the hockey league ? billy : i do n't need a reminder , no . although you could bring it up with the board members , might help turn the tide . ashley : but not with you ? billy : i laughed with jack today . he does n't hate me , ashley . i do n't want to go back to that . ashley : what if i hate you ? billy : you 're just more forgiving . ashley : look , you know me . i would never , ever do something like this unless i thought it was completely necessary . for the good of our company , for the good of our family , we have got to take the title of c.e.o . away from jack . jack : if i thought for one second i was n't the right person to run jabot , i would n't even allow a vote . i would step aside immediately . abby : i just ca n't believe it 's come to this . mom must have a reason , though , right ? jack : she 's always ... you know what ? i 'm not going to question her motives . i 'm not gon na take this personally . abby : well , how could you not ? when my dad brought victoria back to newman , it showed how little confidence he had in me , and that hurt . jack : i 've been here before , more than once . you know what ? i was always the outlier , the one who brought fresh ideas that the old guard was gon na have problems with . i guess that 's why i still think it 's important to promote and encourage innovation . abby : like when i came to you with my project . jack : that 's a perfect example . how long did it take me to buy you that warehouse ? no time at all . and then when you decided to take the project to victor ? abby : you were furious . jack : yes , i was , but i eventually made peace with that . the important thing is , i believed in you . i still do , probably more than anyone else . and if you want a job at a family company where you are valued and appreciated , there is always a job for you at jabot . ashley : i 'm taking this step for your uncle jack 's best interests . abby : so you 're kicking him out of his job ? ashley : no , he 's overextended , abby . he 's the one who chose to be your grandmother 's primary caregiver . abby : well , that 's admirable . he should n't be punished . ashley : and i 'm not punishing him . but with these extra responsibilities , your uncle has been making some bad decisions . abby : are you sure there 's absolutely no other way ? ashley : i really am hoping that at the end of the day , your uncle jack is gon na be grateful to have this decision taken out of his hands . jack : the bottom line is , it is no secret that i saved fenmore 's . lauren : [ scoffs ] after you drove off all the investors i wanted to work with , i was forced to come to you . jack : my methods were aggressive , but the partnership has been beneficial , no ? lauren : in many ways . jack : then i can count on your support ? lauren : if you show your continued commitment to fenmore 's , by say putting more money toward our marketing of the brick - and - mortar stores , i think that might give me a lot more confidence in you , jack . jack : then we understand each other perfectly . ashley : and if jack goes through with his plans to purchase chancellor ... lauren : what ? ashley : oh , i think that 's very interesting that he failed to mention that to you , especially considering it will directly affect the resources that are available to fenmore 's . lauren : unless jack and i make a deal beforehand . ashley : do you honestly think he 'll abide by it ? do n't forget -- he offered to lease space to brash & sassy and then turned around and raised their rent to an exorbitant amount . lauren : that behavior sounds more like victor . ashley : does n't it ? i do n't trust my brother 's judgment . i do n't trust him to keep his word , lauren . and it would be irresponsible of me -- actually , all of us -- if we did n't take action now . lauren : jack is the devil that i know . a new c.e.o . may not give fenmore 's the consideration we deserve . ashley : i can promise you this . if i were to become c.e.o . , i would make sure that fenmore 's was our top priority . phyllis : surprised at the call . i assumed that you 'd be out securing votes for the board meeting . you 're not sure you have this nailed down . jack : not yet . which is why i need you to do something for me . nick : [ sighs ] mom , that is a lot of money . um , and you not only embezzled it , but you stashed it into an offshore account ? i mean , um ... nikki : you 're disappointed in me . i know . nick : disappointed ? i 'm impressed . how did you even do something like that ? nikki : well , the opportunity just presented itself to me , and i could n't resist . nick : is this because of me , because dad took the money from my accounts ? nikki : no . it might have sparked something , but no . i did this for myself . i wanted him to understand how it felt to have somebody else totally controlling his life , and he would have nothing to say or do about it . i secretly got pleasure out of that . and now because of my daring and smugness , i might be arrested . nick : well , embezzling money is n't something you learn overnight . you had to have help . i 'm not asking for names . in fact , do n't tell me . but whoever did this must have had the skill to be able to cover your tracks . nikki : well , i assumed that also until i found out that j.t . got assigned the case . nick : do you think he 's gon na figure out you did it ? nikki : he already did . nick : what ? nikki : yeah , victoria and i both talked to him . we appealed to him , but he insisted there 's nothing he can do , that the law is the law . nick : but this is a family thing . i mean , yeah , it involves a ridiculous amount of money , but this is what newmans do . this has nothing to do with the criminal investigation . nikki : it does n't matter . i did it . i took the risk . i went too far . there 's no escaping this . ashley : hey . have you decided , you know , if you 're gon na stay or go to newman ? ravi : well , i 'd like to stay , if that 's okay with you . ashley : yeah ! yeah , i mean , if -- if ... ravi : no , i understand our relationship is strictly professional now . but what has n't changed is that i still enjoy working for you . ashley : even though we 're not paying you as much as victoria offered ? ravi : i know my value , and i 'll renegotiate when the time is right , so be ready for that . ashley : okay . i 'm counting on it . ravi : i like the freedom i 'm given here and the working environment we 've created . ashley : i will fight to maintain that environment , ravi . ravi : you can do it . you can do anything . ashley : thanks . abby : mwah . traci : hi , sweetie . billy : hey . [ clears throat ] ashley : hello . thank you all for coming . [ door closes ] before we get started , i compiled some information that i think you 'll find useful for your vote . hi , lauren . lauren : hi . ashley : here you go . could you pass some of these down ? abby : of course . ashley : thank you . and as of ... right now , jack is late . billy : well , that does n't exactly inspire confidence , does it ? ashley : no . billy : wow . tough crowd . traci : let 's do this . gloria , uh , hi . could you please tell jack -- jack : hello , everyone . how are you all ? sis , may i ? traci : yes . jack : gloria , could you please send in one more chair for our late arrival ? thank you . abby : wait . who 's missing ? foster ? abby : no , he abstained . he wo n't be here . jack : please welcome our newest board member . ashley : what ? ! you ca n't do that ! you ca n't just appoint somebody to the board ! jack : turns out i can . look at the bylaws . i 'm the c.e.o . i can appoint a new board member any time i want . traci : but , jack , why phyllis , of all people ? jack : because this board needs someone with expertise in e - commerce and digital . traci : so , fine . but why her ? jack : the fact that she has caused me personal pain only tells you that i have put the company 's interests first . ashley : oh , my -- it 's obvious to everybody in this room why you appointed her five minutes before the meeting , jack . gloria : and coming through . mind the feet , phyllis . ashley : next to lauren , please . gloria : there you go . can i get anybody anything ? coffee , pens , paper , whatever . jack : maybe you can get ashley more water . she appears to have overheated suddenly . [ cellphone chimes ] ashley : i 'm fine , thank you . so shall we do this ? would you like me to call this meeting to order , jack ? jack : thank you . as c.e.o . , i 'm more than capable . ashley : well , i guess that 's what we 're here to determine . my dad 's . jack : i do n't need this job . i do n't need the money . i 'm not in it for the prestige . i 'm not here to make friends . the reason i am here , the reason we are all here , is because of a promise i made to my father a long time ago . corny as that sounds , it 's true . john abbott had a great idea . i still believe that to this day . it 's as simple as that . what is n't simple is change in changing times . it requires a certain adaptability , a certain singleness of purpose . it allows you to make the difficult decisions , the unpopular decisions . sometimes you 're required to ask someone to play a new role , temporarily , and then step away from it . it 's not a personal decision . it 's the best decision for the company at the time . ashley : please do n't imply that that 's why i called this meeting , jack . abby : mom . jack : no , i 'm not implying -- in fact , i am implying that we have the same motive -- loyalty to this company , to make it as strong , as vibrant as we can so that we can come up with the next great idea . on my way here , i stopped to talk to the workmen who are renovating the lab , where i am expecting my sister , the innovator of the year award winner , to do just that -- to innovate , the come up with the next great thing . i am incredibly proud of my sister . i 'm wildly enthusiastic about us working together . i could n't bring my father 's dream to a realization without her . we have to do it together , building on the success we 've already established , the success we 've already enjoyed . and with that , i think we should bring this to a vote . traci : i second the motion . ashley : before we do that , i 'd like to offer some perspective and some facts , a reminder about that deal i closed with cartwright last week that jack shot down behind my back because i was the one that negotiated it . jack : it was a bad deal . ashley : that 's not true . it would have given us a substantial fourth quarter , and you know it . this is n't about one deal , however . this is about a pattern of behavior that started long before jack asked me to step in . another reminder -- the messy fight he 's had going on with brash & sassy where decisions had been made based on personal vendettas . jack : i think billy and i have agreed that sometimes business gets messy . sometimes you have to get your hands dirty . ashley : then how about your kneejerk decision to buy chancellor without consulting anyone ? abby : well , this is the first i 've heard about that . jack : chancellor is a game changer . ashley : okay , so do you have a game plan ? any kind of business plan , projections , anything ? jack : sometimes you have to work on instinct . ashley : right , instinct . look , i understand that my brother 's been under a tremendous amount of pressure , which is why i was happy to step in , take over so he could spend more time at home with our ailing mother . however , i think it 's completely unrealistic to think that he can run a company of this size and magnitude outside of the office . jack : i am handling things just fine , thank you . ashley : are you ? i got a call from sandra yesterday . sandra is our newest supplier . you had a video call with her . apparently our mother walked in on it , thinking that sandra was her daughter , traci . traci : jack , why did n't you tell me this ? if you need more help at home -- jack : i 've already hired more staff . nothing like that will happen again . ashley : jack , you do n't know that . mother 's disease is unpredictable . now , i was able to smooth things over with sandra . she did n't lose any confidence in our company . jack : do n't do this , ash . ashley : i have to wonder , why are you so intent on running jabot from home ? is it because you want to continue to act on impulse unchecked ? do you want to continue to make decisions based on personal vendettas ? ! jack : i asked you to stop . ashley : fine . on the matter of the current c.e.o . , i move to vote confidence / no confidence . nikki : michael is convinced that the prosecution will argue that victor and i were working together . nick : yeah , they 're gon na assume that dad asked you to hide assets in your name so he could avoid them getting seized . nikki : unfortunately , i really do n't see a way out of this . nick : what about the hacker who did this ? i mean , he or she could testify that this has nothing to do with newman or designdate . nikki : then the d.a . will either say that the hacker is lying or that i kept that person in the dark . christine and the feds want to see victor prosecuted , and they 're not going to stop until they can connect him and newman to this sex ring . nick : the embezzlement provides a narrative . nikki : [ sighs ] well , the inescapable truth is that i did steal the money . it 's a felony , nicholas , up to 10 years in prison . and i do n't look good in orange . nick : i 'm scared for you . [ cellphone chimes ] who 's that from ? nikki : your father . `` please join me at the ranch at your convenience . a matter of mutual interest . `` nick : that 's weird . i mean , just after you admit to j.t . that you 're behind the theft , he wants to see you ? nikki : `` mutual interest . `` nick : yeah , i 'm not buying that . dad only looks out for himself . look , if you 're going , i 'm coming with you . nikki : no . i have to do this alone . ashley : that 's one vote `` no confidence `` so far . jack : well , we 'll see how long that lasts . who 's next ? lauren : i vote that jack stays . jack : thank you , lauren . it appears the sands are shifting . phyllis ? phyllis : i , too , support jack staying . ashley : what a surprise . i hope you got a lot for that . phyllis : what greater reward than a seat on the board of this very fine company ? jack : abby ? abby : i vote ... `` no confidence . `` jack : i thought you ... abby : i 'm sorry . mom made some good arguments . jack : and , of course , it has an added benefit . you can make points with victor by telling him you weakened our company for his benefit . ashley : that 's not fair , jack . do n't talk to my daughter that way . abby : mom , it 's okay . i got this . look , uncle jack , earlier today you praised me for my forward thinking , said you were proud to be my uncle and that you 'd be honored to work beside me . and be proud of this -- i voted with my conscience , and i 'm certain it 's the right decision . billy : so i guess it 's , uh , my turn . [ clears throat ] `` no confidence . `` jack : here you are coasting along on this company 's profits , and you seem to be working against your own self - interest for the momentary pleasure of sticking it to me . billy : you 're not in a good place , jack . you do n't even see it . jack : traci , you have the final vote . traci : [ sighs ] i am very concerned about how much jack has taken on . but i have confidence in my brother . i vote jack stays . abby : so ... ashley : it 's a tie . victor : thank you , roberta . nikki : what is all this ? victor : it 's an appreciation . nikki : of ? victor : all we have been through , who we are . i wanted to create a perfect moment in time . nikki : oh , my god . is this ... ? victor : it 's the very one . nikki : i had forgotten all about it . you gave me this right before we boarded the jet ... when you took me to an island in the norwegian sea because i wanted to see the northern lights . victor : it was a beautiful night , was n't it ? nikki : a manipulation couched in romance . we had argued . victor : well , if we had n't argued , you would not have remembered the beautiful sights . would you ? nikki : are you saying that my life is richer because of your lies and deceit ? victor : our life . we chose not to be ordinary . unless , of course , you have taken up needlepoint . nikki : [ chuckles ] good god . well , what if i said that i have ? victor : that would come in handy . in prison . phyllis : there has to be a solution offered in the event of a tie . tossing a coin , reading the bloody entrails of a ritual sacrifice . i do n't know . traci : now there 's an idea . abby : you did a wonderful thing making a commitment to look after dina . she needs you now . why not just step down ? jack : it is not an either / or situation , abby . i feel a deep commitment to the people whose livelihoods this company provides . that includes their parents and their children . ashley : this company has run without you before , and quite well . billy : hell , even i 've had my time in the c.e.o . chair . place is still standing . jack : well , i am the current c.e.o . , and as i see it , failure to get enough votes to remove me is equivalent to saying i should remain . ashley : no , it 's not . sorry . gloria : there is one board member who has n't been heard from yet . jack : i knew he would come through . traci : kyle ? gloria : his vote just arrived via special courier . abby : just in time . the tiebreaking vote . gloria : oh , my . is n't that exciting ? lauren : so , how did he vote ? gloria : you think i looked ? ashley : could you please ? please just open the envelope . jack : yes , please . gloria : okay . the decision as to whether jack should stay on as c.e.o . or go is ... billy : well ? jack : gloria ? gloria : i ca n't believe it . jack : `` no confidence . `` gloria : you 've been voted out , jack . nick : thanks for coming over . this is n't something i wanted to get into over the phone . michael : of course . when you said it was about nikki ... nick : mom fessed up . she said she 's the one behind the embezzlement . michael : right . nick : what are you gon na do to keep her out of prison ? michael : well , i am currently trying to create a defense , but it 's challenging . nick : she did n't do anything wrong . they 're married . the money 's community property . michael : i agree , but it looks like the authorities are trying to make an example of her . nick : she is scared to death , michael . michael : she has reason to be . nikki : so you 're enjoying this . victor : mnh - mnh . i just woke up one morning to find that an inordinate amount of money had been removed from my bank account without my knowledge , so then i started to make a list of my enemies . nikki : long list . victor : but not only did i feel violated . i realized that the movement of that sum of money would arouse the interest of law enforcement . they would think i had something to hide . nikki : do n't you always ? victor : well , i 'm good at it . nikki : bravo . you figured out it was me . victor : why ? nikki : it had nothing to do with wanting to get you into legal trouble . victor : did you want to teach me a lesson ? nikki : you had it coming . i wanted you to know what it felt like to be violated , not that the authorities will give a lick about that when they arrive any minute to take me away . so in the meantime , you have your fun . mock me . rail at me . go ahead . victor : i can make all this go away , have all the charges dropped if you come back to this ranch , to this house , and our marriage . on my terms . or i can call the police , have them arrest you . what would you like me to do ?Summarize.[/INST]traci tried to play peacemaker between jack and ashley . dina blamed herself when she learned that ashley and jack were fighting for jabot . ashley admitted to ravi that she did n't want to be with him romantically , and they agreed to keep things strictly professional . nikki told nick that she embezzled money from victor 's account . michael and lauren discussed using her vote to help fenmore 's . billy considered skipping the board meeting so he would n't have to choose sides , but phyllis told him it was important to make a decision . jack and ashley met with board members to try and secure their votes . jack made phyllis a board member in an attempt to stack the votes for himself . the vote was tied . abby , billy and morgan sided ashley . phyllis , lauren and traci voted for jack . kyle was the tie breaker , and he stunned his father by voting against him . victor set up a romantic dinner for nikki at the ranch . he told her that she could either come back to him and he 'd make the charges go away , or he for turn her in for embezzlement . nick asked michael to help keep nikki out of prison . michael was trying , but he did n't think it would be easy .</s> | 18,821 |

flo : yeah . i did n't tell her what you did . but , reese , she 's gon na start asking more questions . you have to get zoe to back off , or people are gon na start figuring out what we did . they 're gon na know the truth about steffy 's baby , and we ca n't let that happen . all hell is gon na break loose , reese ! zoe : you , my dad , and the baby steffy adopted -- i want the truth , flo . all of it . now . katie : you do n't think we should have gotten married ?

will was going through a difficult time . the custody hearing was right around the corner . yes , we cared , deeply , about each other , but there 's no denying that we got married for will 's sake , too . and a lot has changed since then . bill is a part of his son 's life . you and bill share custody again . and will is happy . and , you know what , i am thrilled about that because will 's well - being was one of the reasons that brought us together . now , you know , bill is really stepping it up as a father , and , i hate to say it , but it just feels like i 'm in the way . katie : no , you -- thorne : i came into will 's life to give him some stability , you know , to be a father figure that he could look up to , but now that this -- this new bill has emerged ... and i 'm happy that he has , i really am . i 'm really happy that -- that will has a good relationship with his father . i do n't think it 's right for me to get in the way of that . katie : thorne ... thorne : look , i also have my own issues , okay ? i miss my daughter more than you know . you know , maybe -- maybe liam and hope losing their daughter has made me think about it more , and i think , in some ways , that i was using you and will to fill this hole in my heart . that does n't mean i love you any less . it 's just the opposite . i love you too much to let this continue . thorne : hey , uh ... i ... i had these drawn up . it 's the hardest thing that i 've ever had to do . just ... i ca n't lie to you , katie , and it 's starting to feel like i am . i -- i think we should annul our marriage . sally : you know , we -- we can do this later . hope : no , it 's very sweet of you , and i do like the concepts . it 's just ... wyatt : too soon . look , we get it , all right ? hope , come on . hope : yeah , no , except i do have to find a way to get past it . it 's just that something inside of me keeps telling me that if i just hadn't ... wyatt : hey , hey , hey , hey . you -- you need to stop blaming yourself for what happened in catalina . all right ? you did everything humanly possible to bring your little safely into this world . that -- hope : except the one thing that could have made a difference . i still believe that if i had been awake for beth 's birth that ... ; that she would here with me today . flo : look , zoe , i do n't know what you think you just overheard , but that was just one side of a conversation . you ca n't just start jumping to concl -- what are you doing ? zoe : these adoption papers -- why were you and my dad both so concerned that i saw steffy 's name on them ? flo : who says we were concerned ? zoe : i heard with my own ears , and i also heard you say to my dad that you did n't tell me about him . tell me what ? because you 've already said that he helped facilitate an adoption . so what else has he done ? what is he keeping from me , and what are you two hiding ? flo : i do n't know what you expect me to say . zoe : i expect you to be straight with me . just be straight with me , flo . please . i heard you say that you -- you wanted him to get me to back off before people find out what you two did . so i mean it , flo . tell me everything right now , or i swear , i will go to steffy myself . i 'll go to the police if i have to . flo : no , you -- you ca n't , zoe . please ... i swear , i did n't know what your dad did before it was too late . zoe : what did my father do ? what did he do ? just tell me what he did ? he helped with the adoption . zoe : [ sighs ] you 've already told me that . how he reached out to steffy 's mother and offered her the baby . but if it was n't yours , then whose was it ? okay , and please , just tell me how my father got his hands on an infant . flo : you 're gon na have to ask him . zoe : i 'm asking you . obviously the child is n't yours . so just tell me , flo ! tell me ! tell me , or i will go to the cops . flo : he switched the babies . zoe : what ?

hope : yeah , at times . but i ca n't help it . my mind just keeps getting dragged back to that unanswered question , which is just ... why i had to lose my baby girl . zoe : do n't get me wrong . i do n't dislike flo . i just ... there 's something about her . okay ? she could n't answer simple questions , like what was the name of the doctor that delivered her baby or what time her baby was born . i even pulled back her robe just see -- xander : what ? zoe : i know it was wrong , but i needed answers , and i do n't think she looked like a woman that just had a baby . xander : okay , so -- so you think she 's lying , that she 's not phoebe 's birth mother ? even though her name 's on the adoption papers . zoe : i know it sounds crazy . it 's just -- something does n't feel right . okay ? and then -- and then there 's my dad . he was acting so weird before he left . and now i learned that he 's got this woman living in his flat , and she 's acting weird , too . i do n't know why , but i do intend to find out . xander : hey . where are you going ? zoe : back to my dad 's . i still have a key . i 'm just gon na see if i can get to the bottom of this . once and for all . xander : hey , hey . good luck . zoe : thank you . katie : thorne , whatever this is about -- thorne : it 's about us , katie . it 's you , me , and will . and if i 'm honest with myself , as hard as it is to say this , i just do n't think our marriage should have happened . katie : what ? ! you want to end our marriage ? thorne : i think it 's for the best . for myself and for you and will . katie : [ scoffs ] [ cellphone rings ] flo : oh , my god , reese , why did it take you so long to get back to me ? i 've been calling , i 've been -- reese : i 've been busy . flo : i 'm not buying that . you 're blowing me off . reese : calm down . flo : calm down ? do you have any idea what 's going on here ? your daughter has an extra key to the apartment , and she saw the adoption papers . reese : what ? flo : she knows about me . she knows about us , and she -- reese : wait ! wait , just -- tell me that she did not see steffy 's name on those papers . flo : of course she saw steffy 's name on the papers . i had to do everything i could possibly think of to convince her that i 'm the mother of this child . reese : but you left out my involvement , right ? flo : yeah . i did n't tell her what you did . but , reese , she 's gon na start asking more questions . you have to get zoe to back off , or people are gon na start figuring out what we did . they 're gon na know the truth about steffy 's baby , and we ca n't let that happen . all hell is gon na break loose , reese ! zoe : you , my dad , and the baby steffy adopted -- i want the truth , flo . all of it . now . katie : you do n't think we should have gotten married ? i -- you just ... you just said that you love me . thorne : i do love you . katie : well , then why are you -- [ stammering ] i thought that we were happy . i thought you were happy . thorne : katie ... katie , listen to me . this is not your fault . it 's no one 's fault . it 's just something that 's been building up inside of me for a while . and if we 're both honest with each other , we know it 's true . katie : [ scoffs ] thorne : i mean , we -- we got married pretty fast . and there were circumstances , you know ? will was going through a difficult time . the custody hearing was right around the corner . yes , we cared , deeply , about each other , but there 's no denying that we got married for will 's sake , too . and a lot has changed since then . bill is a part of his son 's life . you and bill share custody again . and will is happy . and , you know what , i am thrilled about that because will 's well - being was one of the reasons that brought us together . now , you know , bill is really stepping it up as a father , and , i hate to say it , but it just feels like i 'm in the way . katie : no , you -- thorne : i came into will 's life to give him some stability , you know , to be a father figure that he could look up to , but now that this -- this new bill has emerged ... and i 'm happy that he has , i really am . i 'm really happy that -- that will has a good relationship with his father . i do n't think it 's right for me to get in the way of that . katie : thorne ... thorne : look , i also have my own issues , okay ? i miss my daughter more than you know . you know , maybe -- maybe liam and hope losing their daughter has made me think about it more , and i think , in some ways , that i was using you and will to fill this hole in my heart . that does n't mean i love you any less . it 's just the opposite . i love you too much to let this continue . thorne : hey , uh ... i ... i had these drawn up . it 's the hardest thing that i 've ever had to do . just ... i ca n't lie to you , katie , and it 's starting to feel like i am . i -- i think we should annul our marriage . sally : you know , we -- we can do this later . hope : no , it 's very sweet of you , and i do like the concepts . it 's just ... wyatt : too soon . look , we get it , all right ? hope , come on . hope : yeah , no , except i do have to find a way to get past it . it 's just that something inside of me keeps telling me that if i just hadn't ... wyatt : hey , hey , hey , hey . you -- you need to stop blaming yourself for what happened in catalina . all right ? you did everything humanly possible to bring your little safely into this world . that -- hope : except the one thing that could have made a difference . i still believe that if i had been awake for beth 's birth that ... ; that she would here with me today . flo : look , zoe , i do n't know what you think you just overheard , but that was just one side of a conversation . you ca n't just start jumping to concl -- what are you doing ? zoe : these adoption papers -- why were you and my dad both so concerned that i saw steffy 's name on them ? flo : who says we were concerned ? zoe : i heard with my own ears , and i also heard you say to my dad that you did n't tell me about him . tell me what ? because you 've already said that he helped facilitate an adoption . so what else has he done ? what is he keeping from me , and what are you two hiding ? flo : i do n't know what you expect me to say . zoe : i expect you to be straight with me . just be straight with me , flo . please . i heard you say that you -- you wanted him to get me to back off before people find out what you two did . so i mean it , flo . tell me everything right now , or i swear , i will go to steffy myself . i 'll go to the police if i have to . flo : no , you -- you ca n't , zoe . please ... i swear , i did n't know what your dad did before it was too late . zoe : what did my father do ? what did he do ? just tell me what he did ? he helped with the adoption . zoe : [ sighs ] you 've already told me that . how he reached out to steffy 's mother and offered her the baby . but if it was n't yours , then whose was it ? okay , and please , just tell me how my father got his hands on an infant . flo : you 're gon na have to ask him . zoe : i 'm asking you . obviously the child is n't yours . so just tell me , flo ! tell me ! tell me , or i will go to the cops . flo : he switched the babies . zoe : what ?

[ scene_break ] pilar : you do n't have to wait here with us . we can handle things by ourselves . katherine : pilar , i have every right to be here . i did n't want to mention this , but if anybody is where they 're not supposed to be , it 's you . these are the crane grounds . martin : has n't there , you know , been enough friction to go around for one evening ? katherine : yes , there has . we 're all upset . we 're concerned about luis and sheridan . i want to be here for my daughter , you want to be here for your son . martin : reasonable , is n't it , pilar ? pilar : reasonable ? i think that i have been reasonable for more years than i care to count . now , if katherine wants to bring up her rights as a mother , then i think she should listen to what i think her maternal instincts are all about . while you were in mexico all those years with my husband , i was the one that was there , not only for my children but for sheridan , as well . she was lonely and frightened and confused , and she had no one but that monster of a father of hers . i was the one who sang her to sleep on the few nights that she was allowed to be home . i was the one who wiped away her tears . katherine : and i will never be able to thank you enough , pilar , ever . pilar : no , you 're right about that . there 's nothing you can do to make up for the time she lost with you . katherine : i know that . but this is now , and i 'm here now . i love her very much and she loves me very much . i have a right to be here , whether you like it or not . pilar : well , i pray that luis can convince sheridan that their love is strong enough to survive even this . gwen : pilar , i am praying . but this -- i mean , this just goes so deep . i mean , sheridan is completely devastated over losing marty again , and i know exactly what she 's going through from my experience . this anger and this pain and this grief -- they 're just not going to go away , not even with time . pilar : i know , gwen . i lost my antonio , too .

arturo : well , because it 's true , and i just -- i do n't want to keep pretending it 's not . abby : good answer . arturo : abby , last night , i could n't sleep . so many things were running through my mind -- the choices i 've made , why i act the way i do ... abby : tell me . arturo : a lot of times i think , you know , it 's because i 'm afraid , scared of getting hurt . that 's why i keep things so casual , you know , at a safe distance . i 've seen way too many train wrecks , and i lived one . every time i see my parents ' wedding photo , i wonder how those two people , those two young , smiling , happy people could end up so ... broken and miserable and bitter . the way my father could hurt my mother so easily ... it 's like breathing to him . that 's my biggest fear . i do n't want to turn into him . i do n't want to be that guy . abby : hey . you are not him . i know you . you 're not capable of that . you would never hurt me that way . mia : hey . rey : morning . mia : i 've been calling . rey : yeah , no , i had my phone turned off . i was trying to save the battery . mia : you sleep well ? rey : not really . it 's a cheap motel . lumpy bed . mia : mm - hmm . yeah , you know , cheap mattresses are no good , especially when you got a nice , luxurious one waiting for you at home . rey : i 'm taking off in a few minutes . is everything all right ? why 'd you call ? mia : just checking in . wanted to make sure you were okay . rey : i 'll be home soon . i - i love you . so much . mia : love you , too . sharon : you have nothing to feel guilty about . rey : then why do i ? sharon : i do n't know . we almost had a car accident . we had no choice but to stay here for the night . there was no other option . and ... we got through it . rey : got through what ? sharon : look , we 'll be back in town soon , and everything will return to normal . it 'll be like nothing ever happened . because nothing did . rey : so , no breakfast burrito ? sharon : mm , probably not a good idea . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . billy : sorry , i got here as soon as i could . i 've been thinking about you and reed all morning . victoria : i 'm not sure that i can do this right now . i 'm exhausted . billy : okay , then let me , uh , just say a couple things . last night , when you told me that you loved me ... victoria : i did n't -- billy : i was hoping that you were gon na say that you wanted to get back together , because i think i 've been clear where i stand there . i was grateful . grateful that you would trust me enough to say that . grateful that you would potentially maybe allow me to be that guy . and i guess what i want to say is that 's enough for me right now . i 'm just getting my life back on track . i 'm going to meetings , and being here with you and spending time with the kids and connecting in that way has really ... it 's really helped me out . and for the first time in a long time , i can honestly say that i kind of like myself . i like my life . and i like this feeling . that 's it . i want the status quo . what do you know ? victoria : you make it sound so romantic . billy : it does n't have to be romantic when it feels this right . i want to be able to be open with you , and i want you to be able to be open with me without any pressure or expectations , okay ? that 's it . how does that sound ? okay ? victoria : that sounds perfect . billy : good . so , how 's reed ? have you seen him yet today ? victoria : we really have n't talked that much . i think he 's just taking the time and space that he needs to wade through his feelings . reed : i 've been avoiding you . victoria : honey . come in . it 's okay . whatever you need . whenever you 're ready to talk , i 'm here . reed : i did n't know what to say . still don't . victoria : i do n't know what to say , either . but i know that we 're gon na get through this . reed : mom ... victoria : yes ? reed : i 'm so sorry . victoria : oh , honey , come here . i 'm sorry , too . rey : hey . come here . mmm . i 'm glad i caught you before i went to work . mia : why ? it 's just another day . rey : yeah , it 's just , i ... i wanted to apologize for not making it home to you last night . if i could have made it back , i would have . mia : i know , um ... i wanted you to be here , too . was your trip a success ? i mean , the reason you went to kenosha ? rey : yeah . yeah . the drug bust ? we got the bad guys . thank you . mia : of course you did . you 're so ... good . rey : what does that mean ? mia : oh , it 's just that you 're such a good cop , baby . you know . when you want to get someone , you get 'em . rey : yeah . yeah . but by the time we had booked the dealers , the snow and the black ice had made the roads undrivable . mia : i know . it was cold here , too . rey : it 's warm here now . did someone come by and fix the furnace ? mia : yeah . i called sharon , but ... she would n't answer her phone . found out she was on police business , too . in kenosha . to most , he 's phil mickelson ... victoria : you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about . please tell me you understand that . reed : i was just so mean to you when i first got back , and then after hawaii , i just gave you so much grief about dad . victoria : you had no idea what was going on . reed : i still feel really bad about it . victoria : you shouldn't . i should have handled it differently . i should have told you sooner . you had so many questions and no answers . it must have been ... confusing and upsetting for you . reed : so my dad , he -- he was a bad person ? victoria : no one 's all good or all bad . he made some mistakes . i think he changed because his life did n't go the way that he planned it , and also for reasons that we 'll never understand . reed : i just do n't get it . i mean , i do n't remember him like that at all . victoria : that 's good . you should remember him in your own way . just hold onto those memories . cherish them . billy : he 's your dad . he always will be . reed : yeah . thank you for having the memorial , mom . i ca n't imagine how hard that was for you . victoria : i just regret you finding out the way that you did , about what happened between me and your dad . billy : from the worst person possible . victoria : but it 's a good thing that it 's out in the open now . i think you deserve to know the truth . even though it was hard to hear . reed : yeah . i think things can actually start to get better now . and i 've been thinking -- i can stay here , at home , for as long as you want me to . victoria : you want to stay here ? or do you want to get back to school ? reed : [ chuckles ] i think it 'd be good for me to get back to school . so we can all get on with our lives . victoria : yeah . i think it 's time for us all to do that . abby : when dina forgets where her room is , things can spiral quickly , so i 'm sorry about that . arturo : you never have to apologize for taking care of family . that 's another thing i love about you -- you see family as something that fortifies you , makes you stronger . abby : and you do n't ? arturo : i 'd like to , but ... for me , it 's always my family creating the hole in my life instead of filling it . i think that 's one of the reasons why i balked when you tried to patch things up between me and rey . abby : i did n't realize how complicated things were between the two of you . the situation with mia , your relationship with her ... arturo : having an affair with mia was the biggest mistake of my life . abby : hey . you do n't have to explain . arturo : i want to . see , what we had was exciting , but we were so young . it was immature and dramatic and so unhealthy when i look back on it . but it was kind of the only thing i knew , so , in a way , it was safe for me . and i think i fell back into it a few years later because i was always afraid to want more . i did n't think i deserved better . abby : it 's over now . you have to stop punishing yourself . arturo : i want to . mia : why did n't you just tell me you were with sharon ? rey : because i knew how you 'd react . mia : so it 's my fault you lied to me . rey : i omitted something that i knew ould make you upset for no reason . what are you lying to me about ? mia : nothing . well , i 'm sure sharon will tell you that it was arturo who came over last night to fix the furnace . rey : and why would that upset me ? mia : it shouldn't . rey : i am happy that arturo was here for you . truly . mia : you are ? rey : yes , because i am done with the drama . i 'm ready to leave it in the past where it belongs . we need to be in a place where -- where we can trust each other , in a place where my brother can come over and fix the furnace , and i can go away on business with a co - worker . mia : a co - worker ? rey : our marriage needs to be stronger than our suspicions . nothing happened with sharon . i swear . mia : sometimes i just -- i miss you when you 're gone . i get insecure , and i have dark thoughts , and they -- they make me go to a bad place . rey : listen . the day i got to marry you ... i felt like the luckiest man alive , and despite everything that has been thrown at us , we are still here . we are still together . fighting for each other , fighting for our marriage . and i will be damned if i let that go now . tell me you believe me . mia : i do . arturo : i know i 've said it before , that i want to leave the past behind me , and ... i 've told myself that i want to live differently , but didn't . but last night , something changed , abby , and it 's because of you . i 'm not scared anymore . i see a future i want with the woman i love . and that 's why i came here way too early , because ... i want that future to start now . phyllis : okay , let me talk first , all right ? there 's no excuse for what i did , all right ? not to reed or to your sister . if there is something i can do to make it right , then i will do it . i will do anything and everything if it will help you forgive me . i will do it . just tell me what to do . nick : come over here and kiss me . phyllis : does this mean ... nick : you are forgiven . phyllis : not that i 'm pushing my luck , but why would you have a change of heart ? nick : you did n't mean to hurt anyone . you got caught up in the moment . nobody should be judged for that . phyllis : agreed . nick : your honesty , as brutal as it can be at times ... it 's one of things i love most about you . | nick is shocked at nikki 's confession and thinks she just means that she somehow feels responsible indirectly for jt 's murder . nikki corrects him and flat out admits to killing jt . she fills him in on how jt was buried at chancellor garden . nick is shocked . more so when he realizes the timing of jt 's death as prior to his masquerading as jt . he apologizes and realizes this all drove her to drink again . nikki justifies her actions and how jt treated victoria and how she was protecting her child . she gives details on what happened and how she killed jt . nick tells her she did exactly what he would have done . nikki is so relieved that nick understands . when nikki mentions we ' nick questions who she is referring to but nikki only mentions victoria as the we ' and leaves out phyllis or sharon . meanwhile a nervous phyllis is trying to get ahold of nick with texts to get a feel for where she stands with him . at victoria 's house , billy apologizes for not being there for victoria . they share several heartfelt moments . billy offers to stay but victoria assures him she will be ok . meanwhile , arturo is angry at the near kiss and accuses mia of trying to seduce him . they argue and mia reminds him they were each other 's first . mia brings up how she moved to gc to be with rey but that he keeps punishing her and making her feel unhappy and alone . tension is thick as they argue more and arturo leaves . at the hotel sharon and rey are feeling guilty even though nothing happened and they platonically shared the bed . the initially decide on breakfast on the way back . rey gets a text from mia and calls her with no mention of sharon . he tells her he will see her soon and that he loves her so much . he hangs up and feels guilty . sharon assures him he has nothing to feel guilty about , and they decide to skip breakfast . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] arturo : what are we doing ? sharon : get over here . there 's plenty of room . i promise to keep my hands to myself . phyllis : j.t . emotionally and physically abused victoria . reed : tell 'em , mom ! tell them that dad would never hurt you ! victoria : i never wanted you to find out about it . nick : the fire poker ? nikki : no , no , no , no ! do n't touch it ! nick : why ? nikki : it 's a murder weapon . nick : how would you know that ? nikki : because i killed j.t . nick : okay , mom -- mom , i think you 're confused . you said you were responsible for j.t . 's death . why would you say that ? nikki : i did n't -- i did n't mean to do it . it just all happened so fast . nick : okay , all right . okay , let 's sit down . come on , right here . nikki : [ cries ] nick : sit down . nikki : [ sighs ] nick : okay , whatever is going on , we 're gon na work it out . you say you 're responsible . for what dad did . dad killed j.t . , but you think you 're somehow to blame ? nikki : no , nicholas ! listen to me . i killed j.t . and you need to know everything that happened . billy : i ca n't believe i did n't know . everything that you 've had to deal with . the way you 've been suffering ... i should have been here to protect you , vick , i 'm sorry . victoria : i 'm not sure what you could have done . it was a burden that i felt i had to bear on my own . billy : if i could take that pain away , if i could bear it for you , i would . billy : you do n't have to be alone tonight . i can stay . i meant in the guest room . geez , get your mind out of the gutter . victoria : [ chuckles ] i know . billy : i just want to be here for you , that 's all . victoria : you have been . you have been my everything lately . my rock , my anchor . billy : but ... victoria : when i said before that i loved you , i do . and i -- i love -- billy : i got it . victoria : i just -- i 'm not feeling comfortable with ... i 'm sorry , my emotions have been all over the place lately . i hope i 'm not dragging you along on some ride that you do n't want to be on . billy : i like rides . we 're good . mia : arturo , no , wait ! stop ! stop it ! arturo : mia , what the hell was that ? mia : i do n't know ! arturo : yes , you do ! we both do . mia : wh - what does that mean ? arturo : that was a page right out of your old playbook . invite me over , then the flirting begins , then a little walk down memory lane ... mia : no , arturo , that 's not -- arturo : no , mia ! and then right when my defenses are down , you ratchet it up ! you pour your heart out about rey , you flash some insecurity , shed some tears ... mia : you think i was doing all that to seduce you ? arturo : i think that you get off by having some kind of power over me . mia : okay , so our almost - kiss was about my ego ? not about the fact that our connection means that we are each other 's first , not because our history means that your heart is in mine , and i am stamped into yours ! you and i both know what was going on . arturo : mia , you live for this drama . and toying with me , betraying rey -- what were you thinking ? mia : oh , you want to talk about rey ? let 's talk about rey . i love your brother , okay ? i love him so much . i moved here to try to save our marriage . i have done everything to have him forget the past , but he wo n't forget . in fact , he keeps punishing me for it , in more ways than one , okay ? [ cries ] rey makes me feel more alone and unhappy than i ever felt . it 's when he withholds his love , his feelings for me . it 's when i know he 's not present the way that lovers and partners should be . arturo : [ sighs ] mia : arturo , you know me . i need someone who is all - in . okay ? heart , body , soul . and nothing hurts me more when rey withholds this information like he did tonight when he did n't tell me that he was with sharon . arturo : you do n't know that anything happened with sharon . mia : i know that he has feelings for her . i knew it when i came into town . i knew it when i saw the way they looked at each other . those feelings do n't just go away . arturo : we ca n't go down this rabbit hole again , mia . mia : [ sniffles ] arturo : i 'm gon na go before things -- mia : no , no , no . please . it 's way too dangerous out there . you ca n't go home now . arturo : it 's more dangerous in here . rey : are you awake ? [ sighs ] additional sponsorship nikki : victoria had been living a nightmare i knew nothing about . i had my suspicions , and she finally let it all out . j.t . 's daily relentless criticisms , his isolation , the control ... he was breaking her spirit , nicholas , a little bit at a time . [ sniffles ] and then when i found out that he had choked her , i thought , my god , how can this be ? how can i not protect my child when she needs me the most ? nick : if i 'd known when j.t . was in town ... nikki : you do n't know what you 'd do until you 're there , in the moment ... [ sighs ] i heard the bedroom door slam , and i knew something was very wrong . i ran up the stairs , and i heard yelling . i heard things smashing . so i threw open the door , and he had her pinned against the dresser , and he was pounding his fist , he was hurting her , and he was n't going to stop , and ... my baby was fighting for her life . i 'm her mother . i am her mother . and i guess i just snapped . i reached for whatever was closest , and i swung it as hard as i could . i -- i thought that i had knocked him unconscious . but he was n't breathing . and he had no pulse . i mean , it was just one that one split - second . [ sighs ] god , then the horror set in . what had i done ? nick : you did what you had to do . nikki : oh , honey . oh , thank god . thank god you understand . we tried to revive him , but it was too late . nick : who 's we ? nikki : victoria and i . nick : okay , well ... i got to ask , mom . why did n't -- why did n't you just call the police ? this is clearly a case of self - defense . nikki : was it ? i was n't in jeopardy . and i did hit him from behind . nick : but victoria was in danger . you were protecting your daughter . nikki : as it turned out , she was n't seriously hurt , and there was no evidence that j.t . had abused her . i mean , she -- she had n't told anybody except her therapist . because she was ashamed . nick : she was ashamed to tell us ? nikki : that 's how shame works . it 's insidious . we struggled over what to do . we talked and cried . but we always came back to that same cold , hard fact , that j.t . was gone , and nothing could ever change that . nick : so , what 'd you do next ? nikki : we made what turned out to be a very bad decision . we wrapped in him a carpet , and we took him to chancellor park . nick : oh , my god . nikki : we buried him under katherine 's sculpture . nick : okay . okay . how long 's the body been there ? nikki : for months . nick : months ? mom , that whole time i was running around pretending to be j.t . -- nikki : he was already dead . it was like seeing a ghost . nick : i 'm so sorry . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i know what that must have done to you . nikki : stop that . do n't you be sorry for anything . none of this is your fault . i 'm the one who deserves to be haunted by that night , by you as j.t . , and by whoever is doing this ! nick : the hell you do ! do you have any idea who is doing this to you ? nikki : no . sometimes , when my imagination gets away from me , i think it 's j.t . himself , but then i realize that that 's impossible . that thing is making me feel like i 'm seeing another ghost right now . nick : where 'd that come from ? nikki : i do n't know . that night , i threw it in the lake . nick : okay , so somebody saw you do that . then the fished it out , and they brought it back here . nikki : this is n't the first time something like this has happened . nick : the gun . and -- and j.t . 's shirt with the blood on it in the stables . nikki : and another time i came home to find the clothes that j.t . had worn that night laid out on my bed , as if he was still wearing them . nick : mom , why would n't you tell me that ? i could have done something ! nikki : i could n't bring you into it , son . nick : so , instead , you dealt with this alone while this sicko 's been terrorizing you ? nikki : oh , my god , i could n't sleep and i could n't think straight . that 's -- that 's when i started drinking . nick : all right . what we got to do is we got to amp up security around this place , all right ? and not just the ranch . he 's been inside your home , coming and going as they please . nikki : honestly , i -- i really do n't feel in danger , physically . i mean , if somebody had wanted to hurt me , they 've had plenty of chances . right now , i am more worried about your father . he is in jail for something he did n't do . nick : [ sighs ] dad is being framed . i went and saw him at the jail . i accused him of murdering j.t . he just sat there and he took it . nikki : that 's because he knows that i killed j.t . nick : how 's he know that ? did you tell him ? nikki : i did n't have to . we did n't say it in words , but ... i know that he knows . so , he is sitting in jail to protect me . nick : all right . well , until he gets out of there , it 's my job to protect you . it was here . nick : we 'll station a guard in here 24/7 . i 'm also gon na double up security on the perimeter of the ranch , and someone is going to be with you and vick at all times . nikki : we do n't want to bring any extra attention to ourselves . i mean , for now , we 're gon na act as normal as possible and just carry on with our lives . nick : well , our guys are good . they can be discreet . you wo n't even know they 're there . nikki : thank you , darling . i am just so happy that you know the truth now and you understand why i did what i did . nick : you 've got to be honest with me going forward , all right ? that 's the only way this works . nikki : i agree . honesty is a big part of my sobriety . in fact , i should probably go to a meeting . nick : well , i 'll let security know they 're going with you . nikki : all right . remember , we go about our day - to - day as if nothing is out of the ordinary . and , please ... do n't let this take over your life . nick : no one will know . but , from now on , my number - one priority is keeping you and my sister safe . and clearing dad 's name . rey : hey there . sharon : hey . rey : did you sleep well ? sharon : yeah . you ? rey : not really . sharon : yeah . me , either . rey : you really have to try to make a chair that lumpy . sharon : you know , i reached over to the other side of the bed and thought ... rey : what , that i had left you ? come on , i would n't do that . kind of hurts my feelings that you think i would . sharon : it was just for a second . rey : [ clears throat ] sharon : [ sighs ] how long do you think it 'll take us to get back ? rey : uh , you know , the roads are clear . it should n't take us more than an hour . you got a big day ? sharon : um , no , just the usual . work . you know , since mariah 's looking after faith , i 'm really in no hurry to get back . we could stop for breakfast on the way home , if you want . rey : that sounds good . i 'm starving . sharon : there 's a diner off the highway . they have this breakfast burrito that 's as big as your head . [ cellphone chimes ] rey : oh , um ... i need to call the -- sharon : your wife . yeah . of course . arturo : abby ! [ sighs ] come on ! abby ! [ shivers ] oh , my god . abby : hi , come in ! what are you doing here ? arturo : that message you sent last night -- i did n't get it till this morning . abby : okay , well , when i sent that message and told you i missed you , i did n't mean that you had to rush over here in the freezing cold at the crack of dawn . arturo : i did have to because i could n't wait another minute to see you . abby : that 's so sweet . arturo : i need to tell you something , abby . abby : okay . is -- is everything all right ? arturo : i just need to get this off my chest . abby : [ chuckling ] you 're starting to make me nervous . did something happen ? arturo : abby . i love you . do n't let your longwear weigh you down . billy : what the hell were you thinking yesterday ? phyllis : i do n't want to get into this with you . billy : you kno , reed is a teenager trying to cope with his father 's murder . phyllis : yeah , i get that . billy : no , i do n't think you do . the point of that memorial was to try and give him some closure . the amount of insensitivity and narcissism it takes to tell a grieving kid that his dead father was an abuser is unbelievable to me . phyllis : you know , i do n't need a lecture from you . i have beaten myself up enough about this . billy : wow , that 's so typical of you . so you 're the victim here ? phyllis : that 's not what i meant . billy : reed is the victim , not you . victoria 's the victim , not you . phyllis : exactly , and i was tired of people talking about j.t . like he was some kind of angel . knowing what he did to victoria . billy : it 's not your place , phyllis . you understand how difficult it must have been for victoria to sit there and listen to people talk glowingly about the man who abused her ?

arturo : well , because it 's true , and i just -- i do n't want to keep pretending it 's not . abby : good answer . arturo : abby , last night , i could n't sleep . so many things were running through my mind -- the choices i 've made , why i act the way i do ... abby : tell me . arturo : a lot of times i think , you know , it 's because i 'm afraid , scared of getting hurt . that 's why i keep things so casual , you know , at a safe distance . i 've seen way too many train wrecks , and i lived one . every time i see my parents ' wedding photo , i wonder how those two people , those two young , smiling , happy people could end up so ... broken and miserable and bitter . the way my father could hurt my mother so easily ... it 's like breathing to him . that 's my biggest fear . i do n't want to turn into him . i do n't want to be that guy . abby : hey . you are not him . i know you . you 're not capable of that . you would never hurt me that way . mia : hey . rey : morning . mia : i 've been calling . rey : yeah , no , i had my phone turned off . i was trying to save the battery . mia : you sleep well ? rey : not really . it 's a cheap motel . lumpy bed . mia : mm - hmm . yeah , you know , cheap mattresses are no good , especially when you got a nice , luxurious one waiting for you at home . rey : i 'm taking off in a few minutes . is everything all right ? why 'd you call ? mia : just checking in . wanted to make sure you were okay . rey : i 'll be home soon . i - i love you . so much . mia : love you , too . sharon : you have nothing to feel guilty about . rey : then why do i ?

that 's it . how does that sound ? okay ? victoria : that sounds perfect . billy : good . so , how 's reed ? have you seen him yet today ? victoria : we really have n't talked that much . i think he 's just taking the time and space that he needs to wade through his feelings . reed : i 've been avoiding you . victoria : honey . come in . it 's okay . whatever you need . whenever you 're ready to talk , i 'm here . reed : i did n't know what to say . still don't . victoria : i do n't know what to say , either . but i know that we 're gon na get through this . reed : mom ... victoria : yes ? reed : i 'm so sorry . victoria : oh , honey , come here . i 'm sorry , too . rey : hey . come here . mmm . i 'm glad i caught you before i went to work . mia : why ? it 's just another day . rey : yeah , it 's just , i ... i wanted to apologize for not making it home to you last night . if i could have made it back , i would have . mia : i know , um ... i wanted you to be here , too . was your trip a success ? i mean , the reason you went to kenosha ? rey : yeah . yeah . the drug bust ? we got the bad guys . thank you . mia : of course you did . you 're so ... good . rey : what does that mean ? mia : oh , it 's just that you 're such a good cop , baby . you know . when you want to get someone , you get 'em . rey : yeah . yeah . but by the time we had booked the dealers , the snow and the black ice had made the roads undrivable . mia : i know . it was cold here , too . rey : it 's warm here now . did someone come by and fix the furnace ? mia : yeah . i called sharon , but ... she would n't answer her phone . found out she was on police business , too . in kenosha . to most , he 's phil mickelson ... victoria : you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about . please tell me you understand that . reed : i was just so mean to you when i first got back , and then after hawaii , i just gave you so much grief about dad . victoria : you had no idea what was going on . reed : i still feel really bad about it . victoria : you shouldn't . i should have handled it differently . i should have told you sooner . you had so many questions and no answers . it must have been ... confusing and upsetting for you . reed : so my dad , he -- he was a bad person ? victoria : no one 's all good or all bad . he made some mistakes . i think he changed because his life did n't go the way that he planned it , and also for reasons that we 'll never understand . reed : i just do n't get it . i mean , i do n't remember him like that at all . victoria : that 's good . you should remember him in your own way . just hold onto those memories . cherish them . billy : he 's your dad . he always will be . reed : yeah . thank you for having the memorial , mom . i ca n't imagine how hard that was for you . victoria : i just regret you finding out the way that you did , about what happened between me and your dad . billy : from the worst person possible . victoria : but it 's a good thing that it 's out in the open now . i think you deserve to know the truth . even though it was hard to hear . reed : yeah . i think things can actually start to get better now . and i 've been thinking -- i can stay here , at home , for as long as you want me to . victoria : you want to stay here ? or do you want to get back to school ? reed : [ chuckles ] i think it 'd be good for me to get back to school . so we can all get on with our lives . victoria : yeah . i think it 's time for us all to do that . abby : when dina forgets where her room is , things can spiral quickly , so i 'm sorry about that . arturo : you never have to apologize for taking care of family . that 's another thing i love about you -- you see family as something that fortifies you , makes you stronger . abby : and you do n't ? arturo : i 'd like to , but ... for me , it 's always my family creating the hole in my life instead of filling it . i think that 's one of the reasons why i balked when you tried to patch things up between me and rey . abby : i did n't realize how complicated things were between the two of you . the situation with mia , your relationship with her ... arturo : having an affair with mia was the biggest mistake of my life . abby : hey . you do n't have to explain . arturo : i want to . see , what we had was exciting , but we were so young . it was immature and dramatic and so unhealthy when i look back on it . but it was kind of the only thing i knew , so , in a way , it was safe for me . and i think i fell back into it a few years later because i was always afraid to want more . i did n't think i deserved better . abby : it 's over now . you have to stop punishing yourself . arturo : i want to . mia : why did n't you just tell me you were with sharon ? rey : because i knew how you 'd react . mia : so it 's my fault you lied to me . rey : i omitted something that i knew ould make you upset for no reason . what are you lying to me about ? mia : nothing . well , i 'm sure sharon will tell you that it was arturo who came over last night to fix the furnace . rey : and why would that upset me ? mia : it shouldn't . rey : i am happy that arturo was here for you . truly . mia : you are ? rey : yes , because i am done with the drama . i 'm ready to leave it in the past where it belongs . we need to be in a place where -- where we can trust each other , in a place where my brother can come over and fix the furnace , and i can go away on business with a co - worker . mia : a co - worker ? rey : our marriage needs to be stronger than our suspicions . nothing happened with sharon . i swear . mia : sometimes i just -- i miss you when you 're gone . i get insecure , and i have dark thoughts , and they -- they make me go to a bad place . rey : listen . the day i got to marry you ... i felt like the luckiest man alive , and despite everything that has been thrown at us , we are still here . we are still together . fighting for each other , fighting for our marriage . and i will be damned if i let that go now . tell me you believe me . mia : i do . arturo : i know i 've said it before , that i want to leave the past behind me , and ... i 've told myself that i want to live differently , but didn't . but last night , something changed , abby , and it 's because of you . i 'm not scared anymore . i see a future i want with the woman i love . and that 's why i came here way too early , because ... i want that future to start now . phyllis : okay , let me talk first , all right ? there 's no excuse for what i did , all right ? not to reed or to your sister . if there is something i can do to make it right , then i will do it . i will do anything and everything if it will help you forgive me . i will do it . just tell me what to do . nick : come over here and kiss me . phyllis : does this mean ... nick : you are forgiven . phyllis : not that i 'm pushing my luck , but why would you have a change of heart ? nick : you did n't mean to hurt anyone . you got caught up in the moment . nobody should be judged for that . phyllis : agreed . nick : your honesty , as brutal as it can be at times ... it 's one of things i love most about you .Summarize.[/INST]nick is shocked at nikki 's confession and thinks she just means that she somehow feels responsible indirectly for jt 's murder . nikki corrects him and flat out admits to killing jt . she fills him in on how jt was buried at chancellor garden . nick is shocked . more so when he realizes the timing of jt 's death as prior to his masquerading as jt . he apologizes and realizes this all drove her to drink again . nikki justifies her actions and how jt treated victoria and how she was protecting her child . she gives details on what happened and how she killed jt . nick tells her she did exactly what he would have done . nikki is so relieved that nick understands . when nikki mentions we ' nick questions who she is referring to but nikki only mentions victoria as the we ' and leaves out phyllis or sharon . meanwhile a nervous phyllis is trying to get ahold of nick with texts to get a feel for where she stands with him . at victoria 's house , billy apologizes for not being there for victoria . they share several heartfelt moments . billy offers to stay but victoria assures him she will be ok . meanwhile , arturo is angry at the near kiss and accuses mia of trying to seduce him . they argue and mia reminds him they were each other 's first . mia brings up how she moved to gc to be with rey but that he keeps punishing her and making her feel unhappy and alone . tension is thick as they argue more and arturo leaves . at the hotel sharon and rey are feeling guilty even though nothing happened and they platonically shared the bed . the initially decide on breakfast on the way back . rey gets a text from mia and calls her with no mention of sharon . he tells her he will see her soon and that he loves her so much . he hangs up and feels guilty . sharon assures him he has nothing to feel guilty about , and they decide to skip breakfast .</s> | 16,162 |

jj : i was really angry , angrier than i 've ever been in my life . and at my family for lying to me all those years , and ... and at my dad . and it 's like i ca n't even -- even talk to him now , to just ... richards : to what ? jj : i do n't know . if he were here , i do n't even know what i 'd say to him . it 's not like he can explain that away . richards : what have you done to deal with your feelings ? jj : i try to forget it . you know , but then my girlfriend found out about it and i could n't get it out of my head . richards : how 'd your girlfriend react ? jj : she was really upset , mostly because she did n't hear it from me . but i just could n't find the words , and now i understand why my mom and sister could n't find a way to tell me . my dad ... he made a lot of mistakes , but he was also an amazing dad ... most of the time . and ... richards : jj , knowing what you do , how do you feel about your father now ? abigail : there are so many people who need hospital services that ca n't come to us . seniors and people without cars , people in prisons . right now , the only way for them to receive any sort of medical care is if it 's an emergency situation . so what we want to do is bring preventative and rehabilitative care to them . clyde : well -- and this was my little girl 's idea ? ben : yes , it was . and abigail took the idea and ran with it . she 's applying for government grants and she 's launching a fundraising campaign . clyde : and who could resist a sales pitch like that , huh ? your compassion really shines through , you know , just like jordan 's always has . hearing about this makes me damn proud . abigail : well , you should be . i got a pretty good sum of money i 've been looking to donate . this sounds exactly like the kind of project i 'm looking for . abigail : really ? clyde : yeah . ben : well , before you get too excited , i 'm not sure this would work . kate : oh , my god , you are obsessed . you are obsessed , and as much as you may deny it , this whole witch hunt , all it 's about is your ego and jordan ridgeway . rafe : okay , kate , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't worry about her , because i do . but i also worry about you . kate : [ scoffs ] me ? rafe : yeah . and the fact that you 're in bed with chad -- not literally , i hope -- strongly suggests to me that you are helping stefano , maybe against your will ... but no money or title is worth the hell that you 're gon na pay when you get caught . i 'm really gon na hate having to come back here to deal with you , too . kate : good luck with that . aiden : ah , mr. kringle ... makes it around the world in one night . halfway around the town square , and i am beat . hey , um , do you wan na get a latte before we keep going ? hope : keep going ? are n't we done ? aiden : we 're not done , baby , we 're just getting started . hope : wow ! aiden : what ? hope : chase is going to have a very nice christmas . aiden : you know , it 's just that santa did n't bring him everything he asked for last year . hope : you do n't have to explain , we 've already discussed this -- aiden : it 's christmas time , hope , and -- truth is , i , uh ... hope : what ? aiden : i need to make up certain things to chase . jj : my aunt kayla is an amazing person , and i do n't understand how he could 've done that to her . or to any woman . you know , i really ... it kills me to think about it . and from what people have told me , it killed him too . i know he hated himself for it and he spent the rest of his life trying to -- not make up for it , because that 's not possible -- but just to lead a better life . richards : and from what you 're telling me , he did . jj : yeah , i guess . i love my dad , and i always will . and i 'm old enough now to understand that good people make bad choices . i can accept that , but ... richards : but ? jj : i keep going back to what he always used to say to me . that i 'm a chip off the old block , and what if he 's right ? richards : meaning ? jj : what i 'm -- what if i 'm exactly like him ? what if i have it in me , somewhere ... to do what he did ? abigail : why would n't it work ? clyde : it 's not about the project , it 's about jordan . abigail : ben , i know you might think that jordan would be reluctant to accept a donation from clyde , and i understand that , but i do n't think you understand how passionate she is about making this happen . ben : abigail , i know . abigail : and how many people could be helped by this . i mean , it 's not like jordan asked him for the money directly , or like she would owe him anything , right ? and so , i just -- i do n't see how jordan would turn down money for something this important just because it came from your dad . ben : i do . jordan : rafe , wait up . rafe : jordan . jordan : i want you to stop your investigation . it 's pointless , and -- rafe : oh , i should 've known that kate would tip off chad . what did he say ? jordan : chad ? i 'm talking about my stepfather clyde . my god , do n't tell me you 're going after chad , too . kate : you missed the conference call this morning . chad : i know , i figured you could handle it . kate : just exactly what were you handling ? chad : have you read the employee handbook , kate ? let 's leave personal matters out of the workplace -- i certainly would not want to hear about any of yours if there ever were any . kate : by the way , rafe was here looking for you . chad : why ? kate : i do n't know , he seems to be under the impression that you 've done something illegal . hope : you wan na talk about what you said before ? about still having so much to make up to chase . aiden : just , i feel so much guilt , you know ? hope : aiden , what happened with meredith was n't your fault . aiden : i could 've done so many things differently , hope . kid needs his mom . hope : yeah . my , um -- my mom died when i was a baby . aiden : hope , i did n't know that . hope : yeah . my dad spoiled me . actually , he still spoils me . look how i turned out . aiden : well , i mean , i know i ca n't replace her , certainly not with stuff , but you know , i am a single , working dad . so if having the latest game system means all his friends come to our house , well , then ... you know ? i mean , i did drag him halfway around the country thinking a fresh start is just what he needed . hope : do you regret it ? aiden : no . not at all . although it was a tough adjustment . in fact , i do n't blame you for hating me when we first met . hope : oh , i mean , that 's such an exaggeration . i did n't exactly hate -- aiden : i was an ill - tempered sob , okay , full of doubt and grief . although it 'd been a while since meredith had died . hope : grief lasts a long time . that i do understand . aiden : i know you do . hope : what is it ? aiden : just got a little bit of ... foam from your latte there . lisa : the site is super easy to navigate , and if there 's anybody you do n't want to hear from , you can just block them . kayla : oh , well , that 's good to know . mm . can i order up one of those , maybe ? lisa : is that aiden jennings ? kayla : yeah , you know him ? lisa : is he the guy your sister - in - law -- i mean ex - sister - in - law -- is dating ? kayla : yeah . why ? jj : when i found out about my dad , i smashed a window in the town square . and i was so furious that i could n't see straight . richards : did you hurt anyone ? jj : no . no , but this one time , i was with my girlfriend , paige , and i was into it , and she was n't ready and she had to yell at me to stop . richards : did you stop ? jj : yeah . and -- and -- and after that i 'm -- i 'm so careful because i -- i do n't wan na ... richards : has anything like this happened with another woman ? jj : no -- no , but before paige , i was n't the guy anyone dated if they wanted a committed relationship . i 've -- there 's been plenty of times that i 've screwed up with women . richards : you think you 're unique in that regard ? jj : well , no . richards : rape is an act of violence in a sexual situation . you understand that it 's nothing like you 're describing . tell me , jj , what do you think about yourself ? jj : i do n't know . my mom would say that i 'm a good kid who 's made some bad choices , but when things are finally , finally going great , why do i screw it up ? richards : only you can answer that question . your mom said that you ran into some trouble with the law when you first came back to salem . jj : yeah . richards : what were you feeling then ? jj : my dad was dead and my mom was seeing someone new . i was ... richards : hurting ? the question troubling you right now is n't really about those other bad choices , is it ? it 's about whether you could make the choices your father made . do you think you could ever be violent toward a woman in the way your father was toward your aunt ? jj : no . i -- i -- i do n't ... i -- i could never do what he did . not to anyone . ben : look , i 'm sorry , it 's just -- abigail : no -- no , it 's fine , you know , you 're right . this -- this should be jordan 's call . if she does n't want to accept clyde 's contribution , then -- clyde : does she have to know ? could n't i make an anonymous contribution ? i mean , i do n't need anyone to pat me on the back for my generosity , i just wan na give something back . abigail : but , would you really be willing to do that ? clyde : of course , if it 's possible . abigail : yeah , i mean , i do n't see why not . people make anonymous contributions all the time and nobody ever questions them . yeah , what do you think ? jordan : i thought you had more integrity than this . rafe : just doing my job . jordan : are there really no other criminals in salem ? is it really your job to be investigating my stepfather 's past ? and now my ... rafe : your what ? go ahead , jordan , you can say it . your lover ? kate : apparently , your sudden ascension to co - ceo of dimera has raised a few eyebrows . then there 's the fact , of course , that you 're listed as an owner of a company that victor , lucas , and i helped bail out . chad : i was just trying to help sami . kate : yeah , well , the way the police see it , you 're acting as a puppet for stefano , which means you 're aiding and abetting a fugitive . chad : what , the police ? you mean rafe . he ca n't stand the fact that i 'm with jordan now . he 's gon na do anything and everything he can to retaliate against me because he knows he 's never gon na get her back . kayla : i did n't know you knew aiden jennings . lisa : yeah , you told me hope was divorcing bo , but i had no idea she was seeing aiden jennings .

rafe : does n't have to be this way , you know . kate : oh , really ? really ? rafe : yeah . kate : 'cause , you know , i think you 're the one who actually vilified me for trying to help you . rafe : oh , `` help `` me , really ? help me ? kate : yeah , yeah , help you . are n't i a terrible person because i suspected that your precious jordan was lying to you , which , for the record , she actually was . rafe : okay , you know what , i did not come here to argue with you . kate : no , no , you came here to argue with chad because now you 're upset because he 's sleeping with your ex . rafe : okay , jordan has nothing to do with this . kate : oh , come off it . why do n't you just admit it ? you 're jealous . you ca n't stand it , because now she 's moved on -- with a dimera , of all people -- instead of crawling back to you . chad : what is it ? jordan : i just , um ... i just wan na say that i feel really lucky to have met you when i did . i was n't in a very good place then , and ... i just -- i feel so much better about everything . and that 's because of you . chad : jordan , you do n't have to -- jordan : i want to . i want you to know how much you mean to me . hope : oh , my gosh , what is -- seri -- what is there to be embarrassed about ? kayla : everything . hope : no , there is nothing wrong with online dating . three of my girlfriends met their husbands that way . i think it 's fantastic . kayla : i - i 've just never done anything like this before . i do n't -- i do n't even know how it works . hope : no , you know what , let 's find out . what can i do to help ? let me look it up . kayla : no , no , no , no , thank you . look , the last time that either one of us was on a blind date was , like , in a different century . hope : thanks . maybe for you . i have this other friend , lisa tjaden , she 's gon na set me up my profile page and everything . hope : oh , okay . do you know her ? hope : well , sort of , i know her sister - in - law , bree . we were in a mommy - and - me class together years ago . actually , i ran into her a few weeks ago -- she was visiting from portland . kayla : does n't she look incredible ? hope : and so do you . kayla : mm ! i -- so you do n't think i should put a 20-year - old picture on my profile ? hope : no , no , you are gorgeous right now , today , at this very moment . kayla : you know what ? i 'm not gon na do it . i 'm not gon na do it . hope : no , i definitely think you should do it -- i 'm gon na look it up . kayla : no , no -- aiden : uh , do what ? do what ? kayla : oh , god , it 's so embarrassing . hi , aiden . thanks for your help . i 'm gon na go . hope : i 'm gon na get some information on this -- kayla : no , no , no , no ... hope : yes , yes , yes , yes ! it 's gon na be great . aiden : oh , i 'm sorry , i interrupted something , did n't i ? hope : no , just -- just girl talk . aiden : see , so now you 're the one keeping secrets , hmm ? hope : come on , kris kringle , we 've got some christmas shopping to do . aiden : let 's go . jennifer : okay , well , i 'll let you and dr. richards talk . and i 'll -- i 'll just be upstairs if you need anything . jj : uh , thank you for coming . have a seat , uh ... i think my mom sort of filled you in on my situation . richards : she told me what happened between your father and your aunt . jj : well , that 's what we all keep calling it . `` what happened , `` and no one can even say the word ... just ... rape . richards : how did it make you feel when you first heard it ? jj : i was really angry , angrier than i 've ever been in my life . and at my family for lying to me all those years , and ... and at my dad . and it 's like i ca n't even -- even talk to him now , to just ... richards : to what ? jj : i do n't know . if he were here , i do n't even know what i 'd say to him . it 's not like he can explain that away . richards : what have you done to deal with your feelings ? jj : i try to forget it . you know , but then my girlfriend found out about it and i could n't get it out of my head . richards : how 'd your girlfriend react ? jj : she was really upset , mostly because she did n't hear it from me . but i just could n't find the words , and now i understand why my mom and sister could n't find a way to tell me . my dad ... he made a lot of mistakes , but he was also an amazing dad ... most of the time . and ... richards : jj , knowing what you do , how do you feel about your father now ? abigail : there are so many people who need hospital services that ca n't come to us . seniors and people without cars , people in prisons . right now , the only way for them to receive any sort of medical care is if it 's an emergency situation . so what we want to do is bring preventative and rehabilitative care to them . clyde : well -- and this was my little girl 's idea ? ben : yes , it was . and abigail took the idea and ran with it . she 's applying for government grants and she 's launching a fundraising campaign . clyde : and who could resist a sales pitch like that , huh ? your compassion really shines through , you know , just like jordan 's always has . hearing about this makes me damn proud . abigail : well , you should be . i got a pretty good sum of money i 've been looking to donate . this sounds exactly like the kind of project i 'm looking for . abigail : really ? clyde : yeah . ben : well , before you get too excited , i 'm not sure this would work . kate : oh , my god , you are obsessed . you are obsessed , and as much as you may deny it , this whole witch hunt , all it 's about is your ego and jordan ridgeway . rafe : okay , kate , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't worry about her , because i do . but i also worry about you . kate : [ scoffs ] me ? rafe : yeah . and the fact that you 're in bed with chad -- not literally , i hope -- strongly suggests to me that you are helping stefano , maybe against your will ... but no money or title is worth the hell that you 're gon na pay when you get caught . i 'm really gon na hate having to come back here to deal with you , too . kate : good luck with that . aiden : ah , mr. kringle ... makes it around the world in one night . halfway around the town square , and i am beat . hey , um , do you wan na get a latte before we keep going ? hope : keep going ? are n't we done ? aiden : we 're not done , baby , we 're just getting started . hope : wow ! aiden : what ? hope : chase is going to have a very nice christmas . aiden : you know , it 's just that santa did n't bring him everything he asked for last year . hope : you do n't have to explain , we 've already discussed this -- aiden : it 's christmas time , hope , and -- truth is , i , uh ... hope : what ? aiden : i need to make up certain things to chase . jj : my aunt kayla is an amazing person , and i do n't understand how he could 've done that to her . or to any woman . you know , i really ... it kills me to think about it . and from what people have told me , it killed him too . i know he hated himself for it and he spent the rest of his life trying to -- not make up for it , because that 's not possible -- but just to lead a better life . richards : and from what you 're telling me , he did . jj : yeah , i guess . i love my dad , and i always will . and i 'm old enough now to understand that good people make bad choices . i can accept that , but ... richards : but ? jj : i keep going back to what he always used to say to me . that i 'm a chip off the old block , and what if he 's right ? richards : meaning ? jj : what i 'm -- what if i 'm exactly like him ? what if i have it in me , somewhere ... to do what he did ? abigail : why would n't it work ? clyde : it 's not about the project , it 's about jordan . abigail : ben , i know you might think that jordan would be reluctant to accept a donation from clyde , and i understand that , but i do n't think you understand how passionate she is about making this happen . ben : abigail , i know . abigail : and how many people could be helped by this . i mean , it 's not like jordan asked him for the money directly , or like she would owe him anything , right ? and so , i just -- i do n't see how jordan would turn down money for something this important just because it came from your dad . ben : i do . jordan : rafe , wait up . rafe : jordan . jordan : i want you to stop your investigation . it 's pointless , and -- rafe : oh , i should 've known that kate would tip off chad . what did he say ? jordan : chad ? i 'm talking about my stepfather clyde . my god , do n't tell me you 're going after chad , too . kate : you missed the conference call this morning . chad : i know , i figured you could handle it . kate : just exactly what were you handling ? chad : have you read the employee handbook , kate ? let 's leave personal matters out of the workplace -- i certainly would not want to hear about any of yours if there ever were any . kate : by the way , rafe was here looking for you . chad : why ? kate : i do n't know , he seems to be under the impression that you 've done something illegal . hope : you wan na talk about what you said before ? about still having so much to make up to chase . aiden : just , i feel so much guilt , you know ? hope : aiden , what happened with meredith was n't your fault . aiden : i could 've done so many things differently , hope . kid needs his mom . hope : yeah . my , um -- my mom died when i was a baby . aiden : hope , i did n't know that . hope : yeah . my dad spoiled me . actually , he still spoils me . look how i turned out . aiden : well , i mean , i know i ca n't replace her , certainly not with stuff , but you know , i am a single , working dad . so if having the latest game system means all his friends come to our house , well , then ... you know ? i mean , i did drag him halfway around the country thinking a fresh start is just what he needed . hope : do you regret it ? aiden : no . not at all . although it was a tough adjustment . in fact , i do n't blame you for hating me when we first met . hope : oh , i mean , that 's such an exaggeration . i did n't exactly hate -- aiden : i was an ill - tempered sob , okay , full of doubt and grief . although it 'd been a while since meredith had died . hope : grief lasts a long time . that i do understand . aiden : i know you do . hope : what is it ? aiden : just got a little bit of ... foam from your latte there . lisa : the site is super easy to navigate , and if there 's anybody you do n't want to hear from , you can just block them . kayla : oh , well , that 's good to know . mm . can i order up one of those , maybe ? lisa : is that aiden jennings ? kayla : yeah , you know him ? lisa : is he the guy your sister - in - law -- i mean ex - sister - in - law -- is dating ? kayla : yeah . why ? jj : when i found out about my dad , i smashed a window in the town square . and i was so furious that i could n't see straight . richards : did you hurt anyone ? jj : no . no , but this one time , i was with my girlfriend , paige , and i was into it , and she was n't ready and she had to yell at me to stop . richards : did you stop ? jj : yeah . and -- and -- and after that i 'm -- i 'm so careful because i -- i do n't wan na ... richards : has anything like this happened with another woman ? jj : no -- no , but before paige , i was n't the guy anyone dated if they wanted a committed relationship . i 've -- there 's been plenty of times that i 've screwed up with women . richards : you think you 're unique in that regard ? jj : well , no . richards : rape is an act of violence in a sexual situation . you understand that it 's nothing like you 're describing . tell me , jj , what do you think about yourself ? jj : i do n't know . my mom would say that i 'm a good kid who 's made some bad choices , but when things are finally , finally going great , why do i screw it up ? richards : only you can answer that question . your mom said that you ran into some trouble with the law when you first came back to salem . jj : yeah . richards : what were you feeling then ? jj : my dad was dead and my mom was seeing someone new . i was ... richards : hurting ? the question troubling you right now is n't really about those other bad choices , is it ? it 's about whether you could make the choices your father made . do you think you could ever be violent toward a woman in the way your father was toward your aunt ? jj : no . i -- i -- i do n't ... i -- i could never do what he did . not to anyone . ben : look , i 'm sorry , it 's just -- abigail : no -- no , it 's fine , you know , you 're right . this -- this should be jordan 's call . if she does n't want to accept clyde 's contribution , then -- clyde : does she have to know ?

[ scene_break ] franco : okay . what did i miss ? you were so happy to see me when i showed up at the park . elizabeth : i was , despite what you did to jason . franco : what did i -- all -- what i did to jason was help him , okay ? that man relates to the world through violence . elizabeth : that 's not true . franco : and i thought if i gave him a taste of it , that he would remember what happened to him at cassadine island . it was important that jake remember and see what it was that was scaring him . and it worked . look , the kid 's already way more himself . elizabeth : yes , i - i know . he is , and i 'm grateful . franco : then what 's the problem ? elizabeth : the problem is you lied to me . franco : i did n't lie to you . i just -- i -- [ laughing ] i did n't share all the details with you . elizabeth : you mean about the fact that you were going to cassadine island knowing that it was gon na be dangerous , knowing you would butt heads with jason . franco : okay , but you -- do n't remind me . elizabeth : well , somebody needs to ! i thought we were in this together . franco : i think we are in this together , elizabeth . elizabeth : then why could n't you trust me enough to tell me where you were going ? franco : because you were just gon na try and talk me out of it because you do n't think i can play nice with jason . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] apparently , you ca n't . franco : do n't do that . do n't try and protect me . elizabeth : well , do n't try to protect me . franco : i 'm gon na protect you . i love you . elizabeth : well , i love you , too .

and we will . trust me . hope : i do . i have all the -- all the faith in the world in you , rafe . andre : father , i did n't want to say anything over christmas , but you 've been extremely pessimistic lately . what 's going on ? stefano : you know -- [ clears throat ] i 've begun to wonder ... if this is the end game . perhaps our time -- [ chuckles ] has passed . marlena : come sit down . tell me why you 're so upset with chad . abigail : because he 's acting completely different . marlena : different how ? abigail : he loved me , he -- he came to the mountains , he risked his life to save me -- to save my son . he held me , he promised me that he would stay with me and that we would be with me , and ... he loved me . marlena : okay . abigail : [ sighs ] and now , suddenly , after one session with you , all that 's changed . he 's suddenly told me that that was all a lie , and he 's -- he 's told me that he just said those things and did those things to just help me get through what was happening to me . marlena : you mean what ben did and having to find the baby ? abigail : yeah . he does n't want anything to do with me anymore , marlena , and all of that changed after his session with you . you hypnotized him , right ? marlena : what did he say ? abigail : he said that you hypnotized him , so i just need you to tell me what you said . what did you do to him ? chad : not good news , huh ? well , come in . might make it easier to take it at least . belle : [ clears throat ] chad : so did you come here to -- belle : put some clothes on . chad : sorry , just woke up . belle : you do n't have a case . chad : hmm ? what case ? oh , my case , right . belle : yeah , you asked me to sue the da 's office because they arrested you and charged you as a serial killer . well , you ca n't . there was plenty of evidence . planted evidence , yes , but they were completely justified in arresting you . chad : well , that 's too bad . belle : i knew it . i knew you would n't give a damn . you just hired me as an excuse . chad : to do what ? belle : [ chuckles ] get close , see how far you can get . i see you 're not denying it . chad : i ca n't . you 're right , i 'm guilty . what can i say ? sometimes i just ca n't help myself . belle : [ clears throat ] so much for keeping it professional . chad : well , you just said i have no case . you 're not me lawyer anymore . besides , you already nailed it . you would have never gone out with me if i just would 've asked . belle : hmm . so you just went through the motions of keeping it professional until what , i warm up to you ?

marlena : when i came to , john was there . turns out there was chloroform on the rag . chad was gone . office had been ransacked . abigail : who would do something like that ? you do n't think it was chad , do you ?

[ sighs ] sweetheart , look , it 's not personal , okay , it 's business . i told you from the very beginning that you were n't quite ready . you just refused to believe me . theresa : no . no , what i refused to believe , kate , was that i was unimportant -- that you knew everything and i was some wannabe copycat . i stood up for my vision and i stood up for my rights , and you know what ? i would n't back down , and that just drove you crazy because you just love being in control . so you did your usual . you threw mud on everything -- everything i did , everything i said , and everything i made . well , you know what , kate ? you can just go straight to hell ! rafe : tell you what , i 'll deal with the phone companies . you contact the authorities down in merida . see if they have any idea what seth malcolm was up to down in the yucatan , all right ? lani : okay . rafe : maybe we 'll get lucky . lani : all right , i 'm on it . rafe : all right . hope : okay , thanks . hey , rafe , i can see you are completely bogged down with work here , but could i ask a favor please ? i have a case of that peanut brittle down in my car and i kind of tweaked my back a little bit trying to get it in . would you be so kind to get it for me ? i just want to make sure that everyone has a little christmas cheer . rafe : your back gon na be okay ? hope : it 'll be fine . rafe : okay . i 'll get it . hope : thank you . [ dramatic music ] [ camera snaps ] nicole : you proud of yourself ? you just drove 1/3 of tomorrow night 's launch right out the door . we 're gon na look like amateurs , kate . kate : come on , nicole . i just pointed out how inept she is . it 's hardly a surprise , right ? and we would look so much more amateurish if we let her so- called designs saunter down the runway to an audience who 's what , hooting and snickering ? come on . nicole : excuse me , but the invitations all say three designers . if only two show up , we 're gon na look like we ca n't deliver . kate : okay , relax , i 'm getting the third designer . donatella ! hello , my darling . no ! [ laughs ] no , i 'm not in prison . believe me , i 'm taking that to my grave . no , we would 've totally made it work out if you had n't taken off with that boy toy in milano .

[ sobbing ] anne : okay , cupcake , do n't lose your cool . all right , okay . you lost your cool , it 's okay . hey , listen , you gave it to kate , all right ? you told her off and i 'm really proud of you , but you ca n't -- theresa , stop , you ca n't just litter the whole area . we 're gon na get arrested . theresa : yes , i can , anne , it 's hopeless ! anne : no , it 's not hopeless . theresa : yes , it is . look , kate 's right , okay , i ca n't -- i ca n't do this , and i 'm nowhere near a top designer . i never was and i never will be . and you know what the worst part is ? i let brady down . anne : no , no , no . no , no , no , no , listen , you stand up . you can still stand up , and you fight for those -- theresa : no , he believed in me and he trusted me , anne , and he gave me all this money so that i could have my chance , and then i just -- i just blew it . anne : do n't , no . theresa , come on , now . hey , listen . look at me . you can not let kate do this to you , all right ? listen , you are stronger than you think , okay ? theresa : [ sobs ] oh , god , i let tate down . anne , i let tate down , he 's gon na -- anne : no , no , no , no , stop . shh , it 's okay , stop . theresa : his mother 's a completely failure ! anne : honey , you know what ? you are so tired , you have n't slept in days , and now you 're just running on fumes , you know ? theresa : no , i 'm not , anne , i am facing reality , okay ? i 'm not good enough . anne : okay . theresa : i 'm not . anne : okay . theresa : i never was . anne : okay . okay . theresa : i ca n't -- i just -- anne : okay . it 's okay . theresa : [ sobs ] i do n't -- i do n't have talent . anne : shh , shh , okay . theresa : i do n't have -- [ sobs ] anne : shh . abigail : ej really thought that his father was planning his murder ? marlena : he said that ... in the letter he wrote to sami , which she read when she came back for will 's funeral . the odd part is that he gave her pass codes that would give her access to stefano 's cash accounts . she was so angry , she cleaned 'em out , completely , and then she disappeared . abigail : oh , my god . do you have any idea where sami is ? marlena : i do n't . i wish i did . sometimes i get so anxious -- anyway , the dimeras must think that i know . that 's why andré ransacked my office . abigail : and chad helped him , you think ? marlena : chad denies knowing anything about it . abigail : when chad was under hypnosis , you got chloroformed , and ... i do n't know , is it possible that maybe andré took over the hypnosis session , and he convinced chad to break things off with me and focus on belle ? marlena : wow ! that would be odd , but wait , wait , that could make sense . yeah , they might -- they might believe that belle knows where sami is . abigail : right . chad : i got to admit , me in this robe , you this close -- belle : [ clears throat ] you 're incredible . chad : is that a compliment ? belle : you know very well that i 'm married . chad : nah , separated . your word . belle : i also know that you 're not over abigail deveraux , no matter what you say . chad : well , if you would have talked to abigail this morning , she would 've set you straight on that . we made things very clear last night . i 'm free . free and open for anything . belle : well , i am not a free woman . chad : then why did you come to my hotel room ? rafe : so what 's your plan ?

[ chuckles ] maybe we wo n't . abigail : hi . marlena : oh , abigail , hi -- good morning , marlena . can i come in ? listen , i know that it 's early , and i could n't sleep , but i knew you 'd be heading into the office and once you got there that you would have a lot of patients and i probably would n't be able to get an appointment to see you , so -- marlena : okay , slow down . tell me what 's happening . abigail : i need you to tell me what happened . marlena : what happened ? abigail : with chad . he wanted to see you , he wanted an appointment with you , you hypnotized him , and i need you to tell me what you did to him . [ baby crying ] chad : i love you , abby . that never stopped . it never will . what the hell do you expect me to do ? miraculously find sami and convince her to give you your money back ? andre : the key is samantha 's sister , belle brady . where did the lovely mrs. brady go ? chad : called it a night , but do n't worry . i 'll handle it . andre : oh , i 'm not worried , 'cause i know you 're driven to do what needs to be done . and that will be the best christmas present of all . abigail : forgive me for interrupting , it 's just that 24 hours ago , chad was planning our future together , and he was promising me that he would take care of me and my son . chad : you should go . abigail : is this because of your family ? are you doing this because this is what your father and andré want you to do ? chad : stop , you 're embarrassing yourself . abigail : no , you do n't do what they tell you . you do n't act like this . this is n't who you are . [ knocking at the door ] chad : hello . belle : oh , you can lose the smile . i have not come with good news . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` anne : you know , kate , theresa and i , we have been up for two solid days . abigail : yeah , because you put all the seamstresses on the other lines , we have to do everything ourselves , okay -- kate : okay , you need to just stop whining , okay ? you missed your deadline . you did n't finish . we 're gon na deal with what 's real now . theresa : i did not miss my deadline , kate , okay , we still have a few days ! anne : yes , exactly . we 're gon na work all day today , and all night tonight , and then all day tomorrow , and i do n't even know what i 'm saying anymore . kate : you know , thankfully , this launch is n't riding on your tiny share of the show . we did hire other designers who know exactly what they 're doing and they did a really great job . theresa : listen , if i could just get two seamstresses -- kate : theresa , i am not throwing good money after some half - baked ideas . you did n't do it , it 's not good . i have no choice . you 're out of the show . hope : hey , you ca n't blame me for asking . rafe : no , of course not . hope : ciara found out i was arrested . rafe : i 'm sorry . well , would you please tell her that everyone in this department is working their butts off to figure out who really killed seth malcolm ? and we will . trust me . hope : i do . i have all the -- all the faith in the world in you , rafe . andre : father , i did n't want to say anything over christmas , but you 've been extremely pessimistic lately . what 's going on ? stefano : you know -- [ clears throat ] i 've begun to wonder ... if this is the end game . perhaps our time -- [ chuckles ] has passed . marlena : come sit down . tell me why you 're so upset with chad . abigail : because he 's acting completely different . marlena : different how ? abigail : he loved me , he -- he came to the mountains , he risked his life to save me -- to save my son . he held me , he promised me that he would stay with me and that we would be with me , and ... he loved me . marlena : okay . abigail : [ sighs ] and now , suddenly , after one session with you , all that 's changed . he 's suddenly told me that that was all a lie , and he 's -- he 's told me that he just said those things and did those things to just help me get through what was happening to me . marlena : you mean what ben did and having to find the baby ? abigail : yeah . he does n't want anything to do with me anymore , marlena , and all of that changed after his session with you . you hypnotized him , right ? marlena : what did he say ? abigail : he said that you hypnotized him , so i just need you to tell me what you said . what did you do to him ? chad : not good news , huh ? well , come in . might make it easier to take it at least . belle : [ clears throat ] chad : so did you come here to -- belle : put some clothes on . chad : sorry , just woke up . belle : you do n't have a case . chad : hmm ? what case ? oh , my case , right . belle : yeah , you asked me to sue the da 's office because they arrested you and charged you as a serial killer . well , you ca n't . there was plenty of evidence . planted evidence , yes , but they were completely justified in arresting you . chad : well , that 's too bad . belle : i knew it . i knew you would n't give a damn . you just hired me as an excuse . chad : to do what ? belle : [ chuckles ] get close , see how far you can get . i see you 're not denying it . chad : i ca n't . you 're right , i 'm guilty . what can i say ? sometimes i just ca n't help myself . belle : [ clears throat ] so much for keeping it professional . chad : well , you just said i have no case . you 're not me lawyer anymore . besides , you already nailed it . you would have never gone out with me if i just would 've asked . belle : hmm . so you just went through the motions of keeping it professional until what , i warm up to you ? chad : did you ? i think you did . beautiful , smart , exciting . what am i supposed to do , just look past all that ? mm - mm . i wanted to see if we had a shot . do we ? abigail : marlena , just listen , okay ? i know all about the confidentiality rule , okay ? all right ? i get it , i know . i know that you ca n't really say what happened in your session with chad , but i know that something is wrong with him , and i need you to just tell me what you did to him . marlena : i did n't do anything . abigail : marlena -- marlena : listen to me . we did n't really have a session . i mean , that -- that sounds so bizarre , considering the fact that it 's a dimera , it should n't be surprising to me , but it was . i had put chad under hypnosis , and at that point , a hand clasped my mouth with this odd - smelling rag and everything went black . abigail : what -- what ? marlena : when i came to , john was there . turns out there was chloroform on the rag . chad was gone . office had been ransacked . abigail : who would do something like that ? you do n't think it was chad , do you ? oh , my god . marlena , i love this man , and i know that there 's something wrong with him . what 's going on ? marlena : i 'm gon na tell you something . it has to stay between us . andre : please do n't talk like that . i know you do n't approve of what i had to do to chad for him to change , but it was justified , because it assures that our family 's gon na survive and prosper . stefano : eventually -- [ chuckles ] we all run out of road . even the dimeras . rafe : man , i 'm really swamped with paperwork today , hope , so -- hope : well , hey , it 's okay , i do n't want to keep you . i just wanted to give you a little late christmas gift , that 's all . rafe : [ laughs ] wow . i love it ! i love this . hope : uh - huh . mm . you do n't remember , do you ? rafe : of course i -- hope : no , you -- prove it . rafe : okay , we -- that 's right , yeah , we were on an all - night stakeout in brookville . that 's what it was , right ? hope : mm - hmm . rafe : and there was n't a damn thing to eat except the old peanut brittle -- it was the best peanut brittle in the world , though , was n't it ? hope : it was , yeah . not gon na give me any , are you ? rafe : this is great , thank you . hope : we practically lived on it for two days , do you recall ? rafe : i do . thank you . this is cool . i did n't -- i did n't get you anything , i 'm sorry . hope : no , no , no , do n't worry about it , i just -- hey , you 've got my back . rafe : yeah . hope : i know it . and that means the world to me . thank you . rafe : yeah , of course . i always will . i 'm always gon na look out for you , you know that . lani : rafe , i did a computer check on those numbers -- rafe : lani . hope : hey , no , i got it . i understand . lani : sorry . speak of the devil . hello ? yeah . rafe : did you find out anything ? lani : no , it 's weird . all the numbers you highlighted have all been disconnected . maybe we need to get the phone companies involved . anne : excuse me . for your information , theresa is 1/3 partner in this company , okay , so her stuff just does n't get , you know , thrown out because kate says so . kate : great . perfect , the other designers are going to be here at 12 : 00 noon tomorrow with their clothes ready for the runway and an entourage of models . anne : did you hear anything i said ? kate : anne , this is between theresa and me . [ sighs ] sweetheart , look , it 's not personal , okay , it 's business . i told you from the very beginning that you were n't quite ready . you just refused to believe me . theresa : no . no , what i refused to believe , kate , was that i was unimportant -- that you knew everything and i was some wannabe copycat . i stood up for my vision and i stood up for my rights , and you know what ? i would n't back down , and that just drove you crazy because you just love being in control . so you did your usual . you threw mud on everything -- everything i did , everything i said , and everything i made . well , you know what , kate ? you can just go straight to hell ! rafe : tell you what , i 'll deal with the phone companies . you contact the authorities down in merida . see if they have any idea what seth malcolm was up to down in the yucatan , all right ? lani : okay . rafe : maybe we 'll get lucky . lani : all right , i 'm on it . rafe : all right . hope : okay , thanks . hey , rafe , i can see you are completely bogged down with work here , but could i ask a favor please ? i have a case of that peanut brittle down in my car and i kind of tweaked my back a little bit trying to get it in . would you be so kind to get it for me ? i just want to make sure that everyone has a little christmas cheer . rafe : your back gon na be okay ? hope : it 'll be fine . rafe : okay . i 'll get it . hope : thank you . [ dramatic music ] [ camera snaps ] nicole : you proud of yourself ? you just drove 1/3 of tomorrow night 's launch right out the door . we 're gon na look like amateurs , kate . kate : come on , nicole . i just pointed out how inept she is . it 's hardly a surprise , right ? and we would look so much more amateurish if we let her so- called designs saunter down the runway to an audience who 's what , hooting and snickering ? come on . nicole : excuse me , but the invitations all say three designers . if only two show up , we 're gon na look like we ca n't deliver . kate : okay , relax , i 'm getting the third designer . donatella ! hello , my darling . no ! [ laughs ] no , i 'm not in prison . believe me , i 'm taking that to my grave . no , we would 've totally made it work out if you had n't taken off with that boy toy in milano .

[ scene_break ] kyle : and chancellor picked up bonaventure when it was not turning a profit . hilary : well , the real issue is whether victor owned bonaventure when it started selling unapproved drugs into mexico , and then back into the us via the internet . kyle : yeah , but , see , it 's all right here . the sales began after bonaventure was a newman - chancellor entity , not when it was just chancellor . that makes victor responsible . hilary : this is exactly the kind of thing we were hoping to find . but you seem disappointed . kyle : victor was my stepfather for about half a second , but , still , he was somebody that i respected , someone i admired . working for him , all that started to come back . hilary : even though the only reason you went to newman - chancellor was for your father 's sake ? kyle : [ chuckles ] well , in the eternal jack vs. victor war , i am and i always will be team jack . but victor 's an easy guy to look up to . hilary : yeah . your dad was worried you 'd get sucked in . kyle : he was probably worried that victor would let me down again , and he has . hilary : hey . moguls , [ chuckles ] they do n't have a lot of principles , as a rule . your dad 's an exception . kyle : i did n't get the killer instinct . if i had , i might be a little bit better at business , a little more useful to my father . hilary : these -- they did n't just float into jack 's hands . you 're the only reason we know about bonaventure , and summer ended up in the er because of this very drug , and we know the reason why because of you . your dad , he 's grateful . he knows he 's lucky to have you , and you 're lucky to have him . kyle : i 'm sorry about your mom . must be hard not to have anyone like that . hilary : yeah . it is . but having a job and a boss like jack , a friend like him -- it all gets a little easier . [ scene_break ] anita : here , i want you to take these earrings . chelsea : uh , no . anita : what ? take them ! chelsea : no , mom . i 'm good . anita : we have to figure out the something old , something new , something borrowed , something blue . do you want to have bad luck ? chelsea : yes . that 's exactly what i want , is bad luck . no ! why would you even say something like that ?

[ scene_break ] billy : you got this one about the driver 's guilt and torture , like his suffering is gon na make me feel any better . that 's what he wants . he wants absolution . he wants me to say , `` oh , man . i am sorry for you . i feel so bad for you . let me forget about my dead daughter . `` that 's what this guy wants . kevin : and you think this guy is the driver , not just some internet bozo yanking your chain . billy : and that 's how we 're gon na nail him . kevin : [ sighs ] billy , this is a time suck . look , we 've got something going here , okay ? a lead , and i ca n't be wasting time on your hunch . billy : you got a lead ? you got a lead ? great . what lead do you got ? what about this lead ? kevin : license plate kind . we 're waiting on the dmv . billy : everybody 's always waiting on the dmv -- everybody . in the meantime , i did n't pull this out of thin air , kevin . this is more than just a hunch . kevin : okay , then , i 'll get to it after i follow my trail . billy : that 's too late , kevin ! the guy who killed my daughter is right there . we can touch him . this is delia 's killer . now , listen to me , man . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . it 's not my place . but just please tell me what you 're working on . if we wait any longer , it 's gon na be too late . i promise you that .

'cause john darwin knew what he was doing , and so did ian ward , and if he 's your father , then -- dylan : ian ward exploited a young girl looking for help . that 's the reason i exist , but that 's not a father . avery : that 's true . and there are a million reasons why you exist , and one of them is so i can be with you . and , despite how you were conceived , i think nikki is really grateful that you 're in the world . dylan : yeah , she 's pretty impressive . avery : what ? dylan : you know , the more research i do , the more i understand her . and i do n't know if i 've been fair to her . avery : and what would be fair , dylan ? are you ready to have a relationship with her ?

dylan : nothing . i was just dreaming . avery : a dream where you wake up screaming ? dylan : i just kept seeing austin holding that gun on you and i - i jumped him and it went off . and every time i just think about that punk holding you at gunpoint and shooting paul ... avery : well , you ca n't think about that . you 're supposed to be recovering from surgery . dylan : because austin nearly killed paul . i mean , none of this would have happened if it was n't for that kid . i just want you to remember that at your deposition today . avery : okay . i 'm gon na make us some coffee . dylan : no , hold -- hold on . what are you gon na tell christine ?

avery : i 'm gon na answer christine 's questions truthfully and honestly . dylan : the truth is that austin should be locked up . avery : well , i 'm not sure that that 's the case . dylan : have you forgotten what this guy is capable of ? ! ian : i did n't come here to cause trouble , sharon . sharon : all right . come in . ian : thank you . you 're protective of your home , the people you care about -- i saw that firsthand with mariah . sharon : okay . you still have n't answered my question . what do you want ? ian : you 're wary . that 's understandable given everything you must have heard about me . sharon : you make it seem as if none of it 's true . ian : it 's very difficult to convince people of that when you have a man like victor newman painting a very unflattering picture of you . sharon : yeah . that is true . i know . ian : so , i just try to stay true to myself and find solace in my work and the people who believe in me , people like mariah . sharon : she says you 've been like a father to her . ian : mariah 's had a very difficult life , and i 've done everything i could to make it a little easier for her . i wish i could do more . but victor newman has all but destroyed my livelihood . i can barely take care of ... myself . i 'm so sorry . michael : i 've already told nikki what i think ian 's motive is . he wants to publicly humiliate her and all the people she loves . victor : i think there 's more to it than that . nikki : well , there always is with him , but what is it ? victor : sweetheart , just rest assured that he 's not gon na hurt you , okay ? i will see to it . now , michael , you know this is not gon na be just a straightforward lawsuit . michael : we can win this case . the question is how . i have to be very honest with you . it hinges on the exact nature of nikki and ian 's relationship . nikki : there was no relationship . he 's a predator . i was his victim . if anybody had emotional distress , it was me ! michael : i believe you , nikki , but as i told you , it 's gon na be your word against his in court . if you have any proof that ian forced you into an intimate relationship ... nikki : my god , i do . sharon : i do n't understand . why are you sorry ? ian : this must be your daughter cassie . sharon : oh . yes , that -- that 's her . ian : i had not idea how much mariah resembles her . no wonder you reacted the way you did . sharon : the first time i touched her , i thought -- ian : you thought cassie was back . sharon : it was like a dream come true for me . ian : it was so cruel of victor to play such a horrible hoax on you . resurrecting your beautiful daughter -- he must have known how that would devastate you . and think about how guilty mariah must feel being part of it . sharon : mariah was just as much victor 's victim as i was . ian : and i can see now how cold - hearted that man can be when it comes to inflicting pain on others . sharon : what about the pain that you 've inflicted on nikki ? ian : well , now , you 've only heard her side of the story . sharon : and i do n't have time to hear yours today . i have an appointment . ian : another time , then ? sharon : maybe . ian : sharon , you know , i came here to thank you for helping mariah . but now i can see you 're helping each other . victor so underestimated you . sharon : anyone who thinks that they can use mariah or the fact that she looks like cassie to hurt either one of us is underestimating me . ian : woe to that person . [ chuckles ] enjoy the flowers , please . esther : why am i just hearing about mrs. c 's necklace being stolen ? colin : maybe because it does n't concern you . esther : did you ever think that i might have seen it laying around and put it someplace for safekeeping ? did you ever think of that ? colin : did you ? esther : no . colin : then it still does n't concern you . lauren : okay , so what about the police ? what do they say ? do they have any leads ? colin : nothing . lauren : nothing ? not a fingerprint ? no dna ? with all their sophisticated forensic equipment ? i find that very hard to believe . esther : yeah . they always find clues on `` csi . `` jill : maybe you should call them , esther . esther : that necklace is so unique . it should n't be that hard to track it down . colin : we 're dealing with a bunch of real professionals re who know how to get away with a crime like this . esther : what ? you mean ... ? colin : mm - hmm . jill and i are preparing for the worst . esther : you mean that you think that the necklace is gone forever ? ! jill : esther , esther , believe me , i know how you feel . that 's exactly how i felt at the beginning . and then i reflected on it , and i realized that the real value of all this is that i found out that katherine left me something that was so dear to her heart , and that is n't something a thief can never take away from me . esther : [ voice breaking ] i think i 'm gon na cry . mrs. c would be so touched by that . lauren : amazing how you can find the silver lining in all of this . jill : yeah , well , that 's what love will do for you . colin : i mean , what 's a necklace up against true love ? lauren : yeah . especially when it 's insured . michael : oh , hey . harding : counselor . you looking for me ? michael : no . kevin , actually . i thought he was working today . harding : yeah , he 's supposed to . michael : what , he call in sick ? harding : no , that would have been nice . your brother just did n't bother to show up . victor : sweetheart , why did we have to rush down here ? nikki : michael says he needs to have proof that what happened between ian and me is true , so i just want to give it to him now . victor : by the way , you never told me what you went back to the house for , to get . nikki : i know , darling . just let me get this to him , and then i 'll explain everything . victor : okay . ian : ian ward to see detective harding . oh . guess detective harding wants to talk to me about my assault of a few weeks ago . victor : uh - huh . well , do n't let us stop you . ian : well , he seems to think that he may have a lead as to who might be behind that assault . victor : oh . ian : little shaky there , nikki . are you all right ? michael : do n't answer that . do n't speak to him at all . ian : just take care of yourself , please . victor . michael : paul said we could use the interrogation room . nikki : all right . victor : i 'll wait here , okay ? nikki : oh , darling , i - i have a few errands to run before i -- i 'll just see you at home , okay ? victor : okay . bye , sweetheart . nikki : thank you . michael : you all right ? nikki : yes . i 'm trying to stay strong . it is n't easy . ian brings up so many old memories . but i 'm hoping that this will get him out of my life once and for all . michael : what is it ? nikki : it 's a journal that i kept during the new world days , and it has every disgusting , painful detail of what happened . michael : and you 're sure you want me to read it ? nikki : michael , there are things in there that i do n't want anybody to read , but ... michael : you know i would never judge you for anything that went on between you and mr. ward . nikki : ian is n't the only one that i wrote about . avery : coffee 's ready . dylan : no thank you . avery : [ sighs ] can i make you some breakfast ? dylan : we ca n't pretend everything 's okay . i 'm not okay with you helping austin . avery : i am responsible for helping -- dylan : you are not responsible for anything ! okay ? it does n't give austin the right to take the law in his own hands , avery . avery : i 'm not defending austin and what he did . i 'm just asking that the law treat him fairly . dylan : see ? see , that 's it . the law sucks . austin could have killed paul , hires a lawyer like leslie , and gets set free . and then you have nikki , who 's done absolutely nothing , and she 's getting dragged into an ugly trial with ian . you know what ? it just ... avery : dylan . dylan . michael : we do n't have to use this if you do n't want to . nikki : well , ian is n't giving me any other choice . see , nothing has changed . he is still forcing me to do things i do n't want to do . michael : no . no , this time , you 're fighting back . nikki : yeah , but the thought of knowing that people will know what is in here terrifies me . michael : you know that i will handle this with as much discretion as possible . nikki : yes , michael , i do , but it -- it 's not going to be easy . there is a detailed accounting of everything that happened in here . what i thought , how i felt , and after you read it , you will understand why i believed ian was dylan 's father . he had total control of my mind and my body . michael : all right . then you need to know this -- if this is submitted into evidence , the other side has access to it . they can bring it up in court . nikki : i know that , and i dread it more than anything . michael : then we wo n't use it . we do n't have to use it . we do n't need this to defend you against ian 's lawsuit . paul : ward 's suing you for what ? ! nikki : hi , paul . paul : look , i 'm sorry to barge in , but you seemed upset . now i know why . michael : ian is suing nikki for emotional distress . paul : emotional distress ? that 's ridiculous . he 's not gon na get away with this . people are gon na line up to testify for her . no one 's gon na be on his side . michael : well , that 's not exactly true . they have managed to call one witness on ian 's behalf ... dylan . nik : what ? they 're gon na make dylan recount everything that happened when i told him that ian was his father and then when i told him the truth and that paul almost died . paul : ward is gon na twist this to his advantage . you ca n't let that happen , michael . nikki : use it . ian : oh . we keep running in to each other . [ chuckles ] i realize how difficult that must be for you , victor . i 'm sorry . victor : do n't be sorry . we 're on our path . ian : [ chuckles ] dr. mead : okay . let 's get started . sharon ? sharon : oh , i 'm sorry . i was just ... thinking about a visitor i had earlier today . dr. mead : who ? sharon : ian ward , the cult leader . dr. mead : was n't nick 's mother involved with him ? sharon : she thought that he was the father of the son that she gave up for adoption , only it turned out he was n't . but he did play a significant role in mariah 's life growing up . dr. mead : a father figure . sharon : well , she tells me her father ran off when she was younger , and i get the feeling ian filled that void . i ... hate to think how , given his reputation and the things that he 's done . though some people could say the same about me almost . dr. mead : now , how do you feel about that ? sharon : manipulated . and i 'm pretty sure that 's how he wanted me to feel -- like we 're kindred spirits . dr. mead : did he say that ? sharon : he said that he was there to thank me for looking after mariah . dr. mead : ah . and you do n't believe him . sharon : mariah trusts him . he 's been good to her . and he said all the right things to me , it 's just -- what bothers me are the things he did n't say . but i did n't come here to talk to you about that . dr. mead : oh , something else on your mind ? sharon : i came here to talk to you about the memories i thought i 'd lost . dr. mead : have you remembered something ? jill : you said that there was some business you wanted to discuss with me . lauren : i have told you that our new boutique at the club is exceeding all expectations , right ? jill : i know . i know . i think that 's wonderful . lauren : well , that 's why i want to do another one . jill : oh , my god ! i was thinking exactly the same thing . so , what do you think ? next year , maybe ? lauren : no , no . now . jill : you got to be kidding . lauren : the development company that is doing the starlight hotel called me . jill : those luxury towers downtown ? lauren : yes . they are looking for retailers . i 've already talked to rick forrester . i 've talked to jack . they are willing to put chelsea 's designs in our new shop , but we have to move fast or we 're gon na lose the space . jill : all right . that 's good , but new hotels are so risky . colin : i think it 's an exceptional idea . lauren 's right . you got to strike while the iron 's hot . lauren : i know it 's him , but that is two people who think it 's a great idea . jill : okay , but where are we gon na get the capital for this ? lauren : that 's what i wanted to talk to you about . you know i put up the cash for the club boutique , so ... jill : [ laughs ] so you want me to front the money for this boutique . lauren : yes . jill : mm . i do n't have that kind of money . colin : sure you do . we could use some of the insurance settlement . lauren : that would more than cover it . jill : okay . let me think about it , all right ? lauren : all right . but do n't think about it too long . we got to move on it . okay ? love you . jill : love you , too . colin : now , this is much better than the yacht -- you and me , business partners . ian : you 're right , victor . our paths were destined to cross . [ chuckles ] like today , for instance . fate brought me together with your former daughter - in - law sharon . lovely lady . a pity about all of her emotional problems . but , of course , you would n't agree with that , because you 're the one responsible for them . victor : sharon is the creator of her own problems . ian : [ chuckles ] denial . good coping mechanism . it absolves you of all guilt . but your own wife , nicole , was appalled by your use of mariah to torment sharon . victor : you ever get tired of your own psychobabble ? ian : [ chuckles ] victor : mariah -- oh , yeah . another one of those young women you groomed ? ian : no , i 've known mariah since she was a little child . i took care of her when her own parents did not . victor : you did ? ian : yes . victor : oh . what a charitable man you are . what a big heart you have . my goodness . ian : thank you . victor : never suspected that side of you . just extraordinary . ian : [ chuckles ] victor : is n't it amazing that of all the women in your organization , you chose the one that most resembles my granddaughter ? ian : you know , it 's those dovetailing paths again , victor , crossing . victor : [ chuckles ] you are really something . you said you have some information about my family . talk about dovetailing paths . christine : why is nikki here ? paul : ian ward is filing a civil lawsuit against her for emotional distress . christine : it 's just funny that she would meet with michael about that here at the police station . paul : well , he 's on his way to court . she has evidence that she wanted him to have right away . christine : oh . paul : this is unbelievable , this guy . i mean , he 's got such nerve filing a lawsuit . christine : he 's within his rights . paul : you know , maybe you ought to have a little conversation with the judge and encourage him to dismiss the case . christine : paul , i 'm the d.a . i ca n't get involved in a civil case against the mother of your child . paul : yeah , well , i 'm not asking you to do anything illegal or unethical . christine : no , no . intervening in any way would be inappropriate . paul : it 's not right for him to drag her into court and put her through an ugly trial . christine : and that 's for a judge to decide . paul : you know , i 'm not gon na stand by and not do anything when i know she 's innocent of all wrongdoing . christine : my god , just enough . paul : what ? christine : i am so tired of hearing about poor saint nikki . when are you gon na recognize she is not an innocent victim ? nikki : michael told me that you were called to testify on ian 's behalf . dylan : well , the guy 's an idiot if he thinks i 'm gon na say anything to help his case . nikki : well , you will have to tell the truth . dylan : the truth ? ian 's a dirtbag . nikki : yes , but i did lead him to believe you were his son . dylan : that 's because you thought i was . nikki : maybe it was just easier for me to tell myself that you were ian 's . if i 'd even considered the possibility that you were paul 's son ... i do n't know . things might have been very different . dylan : i know that you never meant to hurt me or paul . nikki : but i did . i hurt both of you . and the two of you almost died because of my deception . maybe this whole lawsuit is just punishment for the things that i 've done . dylan : no , no . you do n't deserve to be punished . ian terrorized you . i mean , he 's the reason that you ran away scared and pregnant . and then , when the truth came out about you having a child , he 's the one who lied . he let us both believe that he was the father . and then he tried to extort money from you , and now he 's suing you ! what kind of legal system allows this son of a bitch to keep screwing with us ? ! sharon : i have n't remembered the secret that i 've been keeping , but something has been happening to me . dr. mead : can you describe what it is ? sharon : things that i 'm seeing are stirring up all kinds of feelings inside of me . um , when i saw summer standing between nick and jack at her wedding , i - i got this overwhelming feeling of ... i do n't know what it is , but it 's like a whole lot of different things all , i do n't know , conjured up , somehow connected . dr. mead : you 've been thinking about losing cassie a lot lately . maybe seeing nick with summer , knowing he 's lost her , too , triggered a sadness in you . sharon : i think it 's more than that . do you remember i told you i got a traffic ticket on the night of phyllis ' accident ? dr. mead : yes . sharon : i ca n't help thinking that the two things are connected . dr. mead : how so ? sharon : summer reminded me they found a tube of creamy nude lipstick in the stairwell after phyllis fell . but summer told me phyllis does n't wear creamy nude . i do . dr. mead : well , i 'm sure a lot of people wear that shade . sharon : but i keep having flashes and seeing that tube in the stairwell . now that , along with the other images of jack and nick and summer and -- and the traffic ticket -- i keep trying to piece this together , but i ca n't . dr. mead : please do n't try too hard . sharon : i feel like i 'm right on the edge of remembering everything , like any minute now , all of my memories are gon na come back . paul : really , chris ? christine : i 'm just so tired of everyone making excuses for nikki . paul : this is n't about nikki . christine : how can it not be ? she 's all you 're focused on . paul : when i should be focused on us and the baby we 're supposed to be having . christine : i did n't say that . paul : you did n't have to . christine : oh , god . you have to understand -- it was n't easy for me to decide that i wanted to have a baby . i - i was so focused on my career and my biological clock , wondering if i could do it all and if i 'd be a good mother . and then , suddenly , a voice in my head told me how much it would mean to you to have a baby . and finally , i wanted it , too . and we were both so excited at the prospect of having a child together , and then just everything changed . and now , suddenly , you do n't want to have a baby . paul : that 's because i do n't know what the future holds as far as my health is concerned . christine : and you say that , but there 's got to be more to it . paul : oh , come on , chris . i do n't know what you want from me . i 'm being as honest as i can . christine : why do n't we try being completely honest ? it 's not your health that 's keeping you from wanting to have a baby with me . finding out that you and nikki share a son has changed things with us , has n't it ? dylan : i 'm sorry . nikki : it 's okay . dylan : no , it 's not . no , it 's been building inside of me , and i just -- i just could n't take it anymore . nikki : what ? what 's been building ? dylan : just this feeling that everything is out of my control . you know , i ca n't stop ian from hurting the people i care about . i could n't keep austin from kidnapping avery and shooting paul . i could n't help them , just like i could n't help ... nikki : well , you know , sometimes , things happen and there 's nothing we can do to prevent them . dylan : smashing things is not the answer . i got to find a more ... productive way to deal with my -- my anger . nikki : yeah . otherwise , you could end up hurting yourself . ian : it does n't matter how or when our lives entwined , victor . the fact is they are . victor : i 've done some research on you . ian : hey , anything you want to know about me , all you have to do is ask . victor : you consider yourself an expert on human behavior ? ian : i 've studied it for years . victor : mm - hmm . then you must be familiar with something i just saw in your eyes -- the most primal of emotions ... fear . ian : [ chuckles ] what do i have to be afraid of ? i 'm sorry . you 're not as good at reading people as you think you are . victor : you keep on telling yourself that , okay ? i 'm learning all about your weaknesses , and one day , when you least expect it , i will use them to crush you . colin : bank manager said the check would clear in a few days . we can then draw on the insurance money . jill : i have n't made up my mind y . colin : about the boat ? come on . it 's forgotten . jill : [ chuckles ] no . i mean about going into business with you . colin : but , sweetheart , we 're already in business together . jill : oh , no . i 'm talking about actual business , with lawyers and accountants and such . colin : well , what could go wrong ? jill : [ laughs ] with you ? and without certain ground rules ? everything . christine : well , i guess that says everything . paul : chris . i 'm doing the best i can . you know , and i do n't think you 're being quite fair . i do n't think you understand what i 'm going through . because you ... [ sighs ] christine : wh - what ? i 've never been a parent ? paul : it 's not just that . christine : you 're right . you and nikki share something that i ca n't even begin to understand . paul : now you 're twisting my words . christine : no . i am just telling the truth . you guys have a child together , a bond , something we do n't have . paul : oh , damn it , chris , it 's not like i planned this , you know ? christine : no , maybe not . but it was n't an accident , and nikki made some choices , some really bad choices , and now everybody is making excuses for her when the truth is she has caused just as much emotional distress as ian ward . [ knock on door ] paul : okay , who is it ? avery : it 's avery . paul : come in . avery : hi . uh , hi . i 'm here for my deposition . christine : yeah , you know , we 'll -- we 'll go ahead and do that in my office . avery : okay . i 'll be there . christine : [ sighs ] paul : chris -- christine : yeah , i 'll just -- i 'll see you at home . paul : oh ... sharon : hi , sweetheart . uh , no . i - i do n't know where your father is . well , i can give him a message . oh , he will love that . okay . i 'll tell him it 's up . i 'll talk to you soon . bye . [ keyboard clacking ] dr. mead : i 'm sorry , sandra . i 'm gon na have to finish this up later . i 'm meeting with a new patient . mm - hmm . last - minute booking . all right . talk to you later . sorry to keep you waiting , mister ... victor : newman . [ next_on ] victor : i 'm not here as a patient , doctor . i 'm here to talk about one . kevin : i have some more information on ben rayburn . billy : i will never accept that victoria wants to be with you . stitch : oh , yeah ? nick : no , no , that 's enough ! | everyone is thrilled to see paul and christine back at work . dylan dreams of austin trying to kill avery and shooting paul . at the chancellor mansion , jill and colin celebrate . they discuss the scam that they are pulling on the insurance company . when esther walks in , jill quickly pulls her blouse together to hide the necklace . esther wants to know what is going on . michael and lauren discuss how phyllis would have reacted to summer and austin 's wedding . lauren discusses with michael about opening up another boutique . nikki and victor arrive to talk to michael about the hearing that is soon coming up . esther asks jill what she is up to , but she refuses to give her any information . lauren walks in complaining about the doorbell not working . lauren finds out that jill 's necklace was stolen . lauren wonders how that could have happened , but jill is n't worried since the necklace is insured . dylan tells avery about his dream about her and paul . ian visits sharon with a bunch of flowers as a way of thanking her for befriending mariah . sharon asks ian what he wants . esther asks jill about the necklace being stolen and if he police was notified . jill tells esther sarcastically to call the police . | <s>[INST] harding : you got anything on that , yet ? nothing . look at the chief . harding : hey ! will you look at this guy ! [ applause ] it 's great to see you , chief . harding : is it ever . welcome back , boss . paul : thanks . well , i 'm not back yet . i 'm just , uh , you know , visiting . christine : yes , a visit . he is definitely not back . paul : and to make sure you guys are n't slacking off . come on , chief . us , huh ? [ laughter ] paul : well , harding mostly . harding : oh , take a look at your desk . there is a whole stack of reports . christine : oh . no . paul : [ laughs ] harding : there 's a couple reports . paul : i 'll take a look . hey , carpenter . what , did you get married yet , or what ? decide to keep the puppy ? [ laughs ] how are you guys ? harding : it 's good to see him on his feet , but i really wish you 'd let me throw travis back in jail yesterday . christine : well , that fraud charge never would have stuck . austin 's attorney would have claimed harassment . harding : the guy should be locked up . christine : and he will be as soon as i get a guilty verdict against him , which i will . austin 's gon na pay for what he 's done ... to paul and everyone else . avery : wait ! wait ! austin , you said that if i confessed , you would let me go . right ? austin : i 'm tired of all of this . avery : austin , austin , wait ! wait ! [ grunting ] oh ! dylan : drop the weapon ! paul : do as he says ! dylan : drop the weapon ! [ gunshot ] dylan : no . avery : paul ! paul : shh . hold still . avery : paul ! dylan : hey , paul , hang in there . harding : the chief 's fighting for his life . you are responsible for this . dylan : no ! avery : dylan , dylan , wake up . dylan : [ breathing heavily ] jill : all right , handsome . what shall we drink to ? colin : oh , i can only think of about 18 million things . jill : [ laughs ] how about the most stunning thing ? colin : how about your brilliant plan which enabled us to have both ? jill : now that i will drink to . colin : however ... [ sighs ] i 've had my doubts about this . jill : about what ? colin : our ability to pull off an insurance trifecta scam . jill : sweetie , i promise you , the whole thing has gone off without a hitch . all right , the fake necklace that i had made -- your business associate bought it , he accepted it . colin : okay . something which i am immensely relieved about . jill : and look -- i get to keep the real one . colin : that makes me very happy . jill : and sweetheart , [ chuckles ] you and i have $ 18 million . colin : that makes me happier . jill : yeah . colin : but i 'm also sad . you can never wear this in public again . jill : i know . but i told you -- that 's okay with me . besides which , i think this is kind of a turn on . it 's like this dirty little secret between the two of us . colin : anybody who ever said , `` crime does n't pay , `` never committed one with you . jill : [ chuckles ] okay . we 've got to plan what we 're gon na do with our unexpected windfall . colin : [ sighs ] well , as planned , we 're gon na sail off into the sunset on our fabulous boat . jill as planned ? ! i did n't plan this . you planned this . i do n't want 50-foot waves around me . no boat , baby . colin : you do n't want to do it ? jill : well , we made a deal , remember ? 50/50 , split everything . colin : mm . so you keep telling me . jill : including the penalty for insurance fraud , which is why nobody can ever know that we have this . esther : jill , i - i need to -- jill : oh , my god . do n't you ever knock , woman ! esther : okay . what 's going on ? michael : poor phyllis . can you imagine her reaction to summer marrying someone who 's about to go to trial for kidnapping and attempted murder ? lauren : and if austin knows anything about his mother - in - law , he better hope that she does n't wake up before this whole thing is over . michael : he 's going to have his hands full with nick and jack . [ chuckles ] what they 're going through ... lauren : i ca n't even imagine it . i 'm just so happy that we 're over all this stuff with fen . we can concentrate on us and our family . michael : and our work . lauren : oh , yeah . i know . i 'm sorry . i know i 've been ... so busy lately , and tell me honestly , do you think that i 'm taking on too much by opening another shop so soon after opening the boutique here ? michael : you can do anything you set your mind to ... because you 're you . lauren : [ laughs ] okay . i love you , but i have to go . michael : oh . victor and nikki will be here any moment . lauren : all right . wish me luck . michael : tons . oh , but you 're not gon na need it . lauren : i love you . i 'll see you later . michael : i hope . victor : lauren . lauren : hi ! how are you doing ? victor : nice to see you . you look beautiful . nikki : hi . victor : there we go . hello , michael . michael : ah . nikki : michael , thank you for meeting with us . michael : well , your court date 's right around the corner . nikki : yeah . victor : so -- there we go , darling . nikki tells me that she offered ian ward any amount of money he wanted and he turned her down . michael : victor , i know you did n't want me to settle , but i have a legal obligation to comply with my client 's wishes . victor : ian ward is pretending he 's not after money , and then what is he after ? sharon : um ... mariah 's not here . ian : i came to see you . we got off on the wrong foot . i 'd like to change that . sharon : what do you really want ? colin : esther , you are the worst maid i have ever known . esther : i 'm not your maid . colin : no , and it would appear no one else 's , either . esther : okay . i need to speak to jill . colin : you mean mrs. atkinson . this is the correct way that the staff address the employers . jill : esther , what do you want ? esther : jill , what is going on with you two ? jill : this is what you wanted to ask me ? esther : no . but you 're up to something . jill : yes , we are up to something . we are trying to maintain some semblance of a marriage here , which is quite impossible with you wandering in and out unannounced all the time , if you get my drift . esther : that 's why god made bedrooms . [ door opens ] lauren : are you ever gon na fix that stupid doorbell ? jill : [ laughs ] colin : ask the maid . jill : lauren , how lovely to see you . lauren : hello . jill : hello . lauren : i am here to discuss some business . oh , you 're not wearing your necklace . jill : oh . lauren : yeah , i mean , i know you said you only wanted to wear it on special occasions , but after we all thought that it was stolen , i would n't think you would want it out of your sight . what ? jill : the thief -- well , we think it was the same thief -- he came back . lauren : it was stolen ? colin : that wonderful , precious gift from katherine to jill is gone . lauren : oh , my god . that 's terrible . jill : i know . esther : yeah . you must be devastated . avery : dylan , what is it ? dylan : nothing . i was just dreaming . avery : a dream where you wake up screaming ? dylan : i just kept seeing austin holding that gun on you and i - i jumped him and it went off . and every time i just think about that punk holding you at gunpoint and shooting paul ... avery : well , you ca n't think about that . you 're supposed to be recovering from surgery . dylan : because austin nearly killed paul . i mean , none of this would have happened if it was n't for that kid . i just want you to remember that at your deposition today . avery : okay . i 'm gon na make us some coffee . dylan : no , hold -- hold on . what are you gon na tell christine ? avery : i 'm gon na tell her the truth . dylan : the truth ? what , that he stalked you ? avery : i 'm gon na tell christine that -- dylan : that he held you hostage and he threatened to kill you ? avery : he did not explicitly threaten to kill me . dylan : now you 're gon na make excuses for him ? avery : i 'm gon na answer christine 's questions truthfully and honestly . dylan : the truth is that austin should be locked up . avery : well , i 'm not sure that that 's the case . dylan : have you forgotten what this guy is capable of ? ! ian : i did n't come here to cause trouble , sharon . sharon : all right . come in . ian : thank you . you 're protective of your home , the people you care about -- i saw that firsthand with mariah . sharon : okay . you still have n't answered my question . what do you want ? ian : you 're wary . that 's understandable given everything you must have heard about me . sharon : you make it seem as if none of it 's true . ian : it 's very difficult to convince people of that when you have a man like victor newman painting a very unflattering picture of you . sharon : yeah . that is true . i know . ian : so , i just try to stay true to myself and find solace in my work and the people who believe in me , people like mariah . sharon : she says you 've been like a father to her . ian : mariah 's had a very difficult life , and i 've done everything i could to make it a little easier for her . i wish i could do more . but victor newman has all but destroyed my livelihood . i can barely take care of ... myself . i 'm so sorry . michael : i 've already told nikki what i think ian 's motive is . he wants to publicly humiliate her and all the people she loves . victor : i think there 's more to it than that . nikki : well , there always is with him , but what is it ? victor : sweetheart , just rest assured that he 's not gon na hurt you , okay ? i will see to it . now , michael , you know this is not gon na be just a straightforward lawsuit . michael : we can win this case . the question is how . i have to be very honest with you . it hinges on the exact nature of nikki and ian 's relationship . nikki : there was no relationship . he 's a predator . i was his victim . if anybody had emotional distress , it was me ! michael : i believe you , nikki , but as i told you , it 's gon na be your word against his in court . if you have any proof that ian forced you into an intimate relationship ... nikki : my god , i do . sharon : i do n't understand . why are you sorry ? ian : this must be your daughter cassie . sharon : oh . yes , that -- that 's her . ian : i had not idea how much mariah resembles her . no wonder you reacted the way you did . sharon : the first time i touched her , i thought -- ian : you thought cassie was back . sharon : it was like a dream come true for me . ian : it was so cruel of victor to play such a horrible hoax on you . resurrecting your beautiful daughter -- he must have known how that would devastate you . and think about how guilty mariah must feel being part of it . sharon : mariah was just as much victor 's victim as i was . ian : and i can see now how cold - hearted that man can be when it comes to inflicting pain on others . sharon : what about the pain that you 've inflicted on nikki ? ian : well , now , you 've only heard her side of the story . sharon : and i do n't have time to hear yours today . i have an appointment . ian : another time , then ? sharon : maybe . ian : sharon , you know , i came here to thank you for helping mariah . but now i can see you 're helping each other . victor so underestimated you . sharon : anyone who thinks that they can use mariah or the fact that she looks like cassie to hurt either one of us is underestimating me . ian : woe to that person . [ chuckles ] enjoy the flowers , please . esther : why am i just hearing about mrs. c 's necklace being stolen ? colin : maybe because it does n't concern you . esther : did you ever think that i might have seen it laying around and put it someplace for safekeeping ? did you ever think of that ? colin : did you ? esther : no . colin : then it still does n't concern you . lauren : okay , so what about the police ? what do they say ? do they have any leads ? colin : nothing . lauren : nothing ? not a fingerprint ? no dna ? with all their sophisticated forensic equipment ? i find that very hard to believe . esther : yeah . they always find clues on `` csi . `` jill : maybe you should call them , esther . esther : that necklace is so unique . it should n't be that hard to track it down . colin : we 're dealing with a bunch of real professionals re who know how to get away with a crime like this . esther : what ? you mean ... ? colin : mm - hmm . jill and i are preparing for the worst . esther : you mean that you think that the necklace is gone forever ? ! jill : esther , esther , believe me , i know how you feel . that 's exactly how i felt at the beginning . and then i reflected on it , and i realized that the real value of all this is that i found out that katherine left me something that was so dear to her heart , and that is n't something a thief can never take away from me . esther : [ voice breaking ] i think i 'm gon na cry . mrs. c would be so touched by that . lauren : amazing how you can find the silver lining in all of this . jill : yeah , well , that 's what love will do for you . colin : i mean , what 's a necklace up against true love ? lauren : yeah . especially when it 's insured . michael : oh , hey . harding : counselor . you looking for me ? michael : no . kevin , actually . i thought he was working today . harding : yeah , he 's supposed to . michael : what , he call in sick ? harding : no , that would have been nice . your brother just did n't bother to show up . victor : sweetheart , why did we have to rush down here ? nikki : michael says he needs to have proof that what happened between ian and me is true , so i just want to give it to him now . victor : by the way , you never told me what you went back to the house for , to get . nikki : i know , darling . just let me get this to him , and then i 'll explain everything . victor : okay . ian : ian ward to see detective harding . oh . guess detective harding wants to talk to me about my assault of a few weeks ago . victor : uh - huh . well , do n't let us stop you . ian : well , he seems to think that he may have a lead as to who might be behind that assault . victor : oh . ian : little shaky there , nikki . are you all right ? michael : do n't answer that . do n't speak to him at all . ian : just take care of yourself , please . victor . michael : paul said we could use the interrogation room . nikki : all right . victor : i 'll wait here , okay ? nikki : oh , darling , i - i have a few errands to run before i -- i 'll just see you at home , okay ? victor : okay . bye , sweetheart . nikki : thank you . michael : you all right ? nikki : yes . i 'm trying to stay strong . it is n't easy . ian brings up so many old memories . but i 'm hoping that this will get him out of my life once and for all . michael : what is it ? nikki : it 's a journal that i kept during the new world days , and it has every disgusting , painful detail of what happened . michael : and you 're sure you want me to read it ? nikki : michael , there are things in there that i do n't want anybody to read , but ... michael : you know i would never judge you for anything that went on between you and mr. ward . nikki : ian is n't the only one that i wrote about . avery : coffee 's ready . dylan : no thank you . avery : [ sighs ] can i make you some breakfast ? dylan : we ca n't pretend everything 's okay . i 'm not okay with you helping austin . avery : i am responsible for helping -- dylan : you are not responsible for anything ! okay ? it does n't give austin the right to take the law in his own hands , avery . avery : i 'm not defending austin and what he did . i 'm just asking that the law treat him fairly . dylan : see ? see , that 's it . the law sucks . austin could have killed paul , hires a lawyer like leslie , and gets set free . and then you have nikki , who 's done absolutely nothing , and she 's getting dragged into an ugly trial with ian . you know what ? it just ... avery : dylan . dylan . michael : we do n't have to use this if you do n't want to . nikki : well , ian is n't giving me any other choice . see , nothing has changed . he is still forcing me to do things i do n't want to do . michael : no . no , this time , you 're fighting back . nikki : yeah , but the thought of knowing that people will know what is in here terrifies me . michael : you know that i will handle this with as much discretion as possible . nikki : yes , michael , i do , but it -- it 's not going to be easy . there is a detailed accounting of everything that happened in here . what i thought , how i felt , and after you read it , you will understand why i believed ian was dylan 's father . he had total control of my mind and my body . michael : all right . then you need to know this -- if this is submitted into evidence , the other side has access to it . they can bring it up in court . nikki : i know that , and i dread it more than anything . michael : then we wo n't use it . we do n't have to use it . we do n't need this to defend you against ian 's lawsuit . paul : ward 's suing you for what ? ! nikki : hi , paul . paul : look , i 'm sorry to barge in , but you seemed upset . now i know why . michael : ian is suing nikki for emotional distress . paul : emotional distress ? that 's ridiculous . he 's not gon na get away with this . people are gon na line up to testify for her . no one 's gon na be on his side . michael : well , that 's not exactly true . they have managed to call one witness on ian 's behalf ... dylan . nik : what ? they 're gon na make dylan recount everything that happened when i told him that ian was his father and then when i told him the truth and that paul almost died . paul : ward is gon na twist this to his advantage . you ca n't let that happen , michael . nikki : use it . ian : oh . we keep running in to each other . [ chuckles ] i realize how difficult that must be for you , victor . i 'm sorry . victor : do n't be sorry . we 're on our path . ian : [ chuckles ] dr. mead : okay . let 's get started . sharon ? sharon : oh , i 'm sorry . i was just ... thinking about a visitor i had earlier today . dr. mead : who ? sharon : ian ward , the cult leader . dr. mead : was n't nick 's mother involved with him ? sharon : she thought that he was the father of the son that she gave up for adoption , only it turned out he was n't . but he did play a significant role in mariah 's life growing up . dr. mead : a father figure . sharon : well , she tells me her father ran off when she was younger , and i get the feeling ian filled that void . i ... hate to think how , given his reputation and the things that he 's done . though some people could say the same about me almost . dr. mead : now , how do you feel about that ? sharon : manipulated . and i 'm pretty sure that 's how he wanted me to feel -- like we 're kindred spirits . dr. mead : did he say that ? sharon : he said that he was there to thank me for looking after mariah . dr. mead : ah . and you do n't believe him . sharon : mariah trusts him . he 's been good to her . and he said all the right things to me , it 's just -- what bothers me are the things he did n't say . but i did n't come here to talk to you about that . dr. mead : oh , something else on your mind ? sharon : i came here to talk to you about the memories i thought i 'd lost . dr. mead : have you remembered something ? jill : you said that there was some business you wanted to discuss with me . lauren : i have told you that our new boutique at the club is exceeding all expectations , right ? jill : i know . i know . i think that 's wonderful . lauren : well , that 's why i want to do another one . jill : oh , my god ! i was thinking exactly the same thing . so , what do you think ? next year , maybe ? lauren : no , no . now . jill : you got to be kidding . lauren : the development company that is doing the starlight hotel called me . jill : those luxury towers downtown ? lauren : yes . they are looking for retailers . i 've already talked to rick forrester . i 've talked to jack . they are willing to put chelsea 's designs in our new shop , but we have to move fast or we 're gon na lose the space . jill : all right . that 's good , but new hotels are so risky . colin : i think it 's an exceptional idea . lauren 's right . you got to strike while the iron 's hot . lauren : i know it 's him , but that is two people who think it 's a great idea . jill : okay , but where are we gon na get the capital for this ? lauren : that 's what i wanted to talk to you about . you know i put up the cash for the club boutique , so ... jill : [ laughs ] so you want me to front the money for this boutique . lauren : yes . jill : mm . i do n't have that kind of money . colin : sure you do . we could use some of the insurance settlement . lauren : that would more than cover it . jill : okay . let me think about it , all right ? lauren : all right . but do n't think about it too long . we got to move on it . okay ? love you . jill : love you , too . colin : now , this is much better than the yacht -- you and me , business partners . ian : you 're right , victor . our paths were destined to cross . [ chuckles ] like today , for instance . fate brought me together with your former daughter - in - law sharon . lovely lady . a pity about all of her emotional problems . but , of course , you would n't agree with that , because you 're the one responsible for them . victor : sharon is the creator of her own problems . ian : [ chuckles ] denial . good coping mechanism . it absolves you of all guilt . but your own wife , nicole , was appalled by your use of mariah to torment sharon . victor : you ever get tired of your own psychobabble ? ian : [ chuckles ] victor : mariah -- oh , yeah . another one of those young women you groomed ? ian : no , i 've known mariah since she was a little child . i took care of her when her own parents did not . victor : you did ? ian : yes . victor : oh . what a charitable man you are . what a big heart you have . my goodness . ian : thank you . victor : never suspected that side of you . just extraordinary . ian : [ chuckles ] victor : is n't it amazing that of all the women in your organization , you chose the one that most resembles my granddaughter ? ian : you know , it 's those dovetailing paths again , victor , crossing . victor : [ chuckles ] you are really something . you said you have some information about my family . talk about dovetailing paths . christine : why is nikki here ? paul : ian ward is filing a civil lawsuit against her for emotional distress . christine : it 's just funny that she would meet with michael about that here at the police station . paul : well , he 's on his way to court . she has evidence that she wanted him to have right away . christine : oh . paul : this is unbelievable , this guy . i mean , he 's got such nerve filing a lawsuit . christine : he 's within his rights . paul : you know , maybe you ought to have a little conversation with the judge and encourage him to dismiss the case . christine : paul , i 'm the d.a . i ca n't get involved in a civil case against the mother of your child . paul : yeah , well , i 'm not asking you to do anything illegal or unethical . christine : no , no . intervening in any way would be inappropriate . paul : it 's not right for him to drag her into court and put her through an ugly trial . christine : and that 's for a judge to decide . paul : you know , i 'm not gon na stand by and not do anything when i know she 's innocent of all wrongdoing . christine : my god , just enough . paul : what ? christine : i am so tired of hearing about poor saint nikki . when are you gon na recognize she is not an innocent victim ? nikki : michael told me that you were called to testify on ian 's behalf . dylan : well , the guy 's an idiot if he thinks i 'm gon na say anything to help his case . nikki : well , you will have to tell the truth . dylan : the truth ? ian 's a dirtbag . nikki : yes , but i did lead him to believe you were his son . dylan : that 's because you thought i was . nikki : maybe it was just easier for me to tell myself that you were ian 's . if i 'd even considered the possibility that you were paul 's son ... i do n't know . things might have been very different . dylan : i know that you never meant to hurt me or paul . nikki : but i did . i hurt both of you . and the two of you almost died because of my deception . maybe this whole lawsuit is just punishment for the things that i 've done . dylan : no , no . you do n't deserve to be punished . ian terrorized you . i mean , he 's the reason that you ran away scared and pregnant . and then , when the truth came out about you having a child , he 's the one who lied . he let us both believe that he was the father . and then he tried to extort money from you , and now he 's suing you ! what kind of legal system allows this son of a bitch to keep screwing with us ? ! sharon : i have n't remembered the secret that i 've been keeping , but something has been happening to me . dr. mead : can you describe what it is ? sharon : things that i 'm seeing are stirring up all kinds of feelings inside of me . um , when i saw summer standing between nick and jack at her wedding , i - i got this overwhelming feeling of ... i do n't know what it is , but it 's like a whole lot of different things all , i do n't know , conjured up , somehow connected . dr. mead : you 've been thinking about losing cassie a lot lately . maybe seeing nick with summer , knowing he 's lost her , too , triggered a sadness in you . sharon : i think it 's more than that . do you remember i told you i got a traffic ticket on the night of phyllis ' accident ? dr. mead : yes . sharon : i ca n't help thinking that the two things are connected . dr. mead : how so ? sharon : summer reminded me they found a tube of creamy nude lipstick in the stairwell after phyllis fell . but summer told me phyllis does n't wear creamy nude . i do . dr. mead : well , i 'm sure a lot of people wear that shade . sharon : but i keep having flashes and seeing that tube in the stairwell . now that , along with the other images of jack and nick and summer and -- and the traffic ticket -- i keep trying to piece this together , but i ca n't . dr. mead : please do n't try too hard . sharon : i feel like i 'm right on the edge of remembering everything , like any minute now , all of my memories are gon na come back . paul : really , chris ? christine : i 'm just so tired of everyone making excuses for nikki . paul : this is n't about nikki . christine : how can it not be ? she 's all you 're focused on . paul : when i should be focused on us and the baby we 're supposed to be having . christine : i did n't say that . paul : you did n't have to . christine : oh , god . you have to understand -- it was n't easy for me to decide that i wanted to have a baby . i - i was so focused on my career and my biological clock , wondering if i could do it all and if i 'd be a good mother . and then , suddenly , a voice in my head told me how much it would mean to you to have a baby . and finally , i wanted it , too . and we were both so excited at the prospect of having a child together , and then just everything changed . and now , suddenly , you do n't want to have a baby . paul : that 's because i do n't know what the future holds as far as my health is concerned . christine : and you say that , but there 's got to be more to it . paul : oh , come on , chris . i do n't know what you want from me . i 'm being as honest as i can . christine : why do n't we try being completely honest ? it 's not your health that 's keeping you from wanting to have a baby with me . finding out that you and nikki share a son has changed things with us , has n't it ? dylan : i 'm sorry . nikki : it 's okay . dylan : no , it 's not . no , it 's been building inside of me , and i just -- i just could n't take it anymore . nikki : what ? what 's been building ? dylan : just this feeling that everything is out of my control . you know , i ca n't stop ian from hurting the people i care about . i could n't keep austin from kidnapping avery and shooting paul . i could n't help them , just like i could n't help ... nikki : well , you know , sometimes , things happen and there 's nothing we can do to prevent them . dylan : smashing things is not the answer . i got to find a more ... productive way to deal with my -- my anger . nikki : yeah . otherwise , you could end up hurting yourself . ian : it does n't matter how or when our lives entwined , victor . the fact is they are . victor : i 've done some research on you . ian : hey , anything you want to know about me , all you have to do is ask . victor : you consider yourself an expert on human behavior ? ian : i 've studied it for years . victor : mm - hmm . then you must be familiar with something i just saw in your eyes -- the most primal of emotions ... fear . ian : [ chuckles ] what do i have to be afraid of ? i 'm sorry . you 're not as good at reading people as you think you are . victor : you keep on telling yourself that , okay ? i 'm learning all about your weaknesses , and one day , when you least expect it , i will use them to crush you . colin : bank manager said the check would clear in a few days . we can then draw on the insurance money . jill : i have n't made up my mind y . colin : about the boat ? come on . it 's forgotten . jill : [ chuckles ] no . i mean about going into business with you . colin : but , sweetheart , we 're already in business together . jill : oh , no . i 'm talking about actual business , with lawyers and accountants and such . colin : well , what could go wrong ? jill : [ laughs ] with you ? and without certain ground rules ? everything . christine : well , i guess that says everything . paul : chris . i 'm doing the best i can . you know , and i do n't think you 're being quite fair . i do n't think you understand what i 'm going through . because you ... [ sighs ] christine : wh - what ? i 've never been a parent ? paul : it 's not just that . christine : you 're right . you and nikki share something that i ca n't even begin to understand . paul : now you 're twisting my words . christine : no . i am just telling the truth . you guys have a child together , a bond , something we do n't have . paul : oh , damn it , chris , it 's not like i planned this , you know ? christine : no , maybe not . but it was n't an accident , and nikki made some choices , some really bad choices , and now everybody is making excuses for her when the truth is she has caused just as much emotional distress as ian ward . [ knock on door ] paul : okay , who is it ? avery : it 's avery . paul : come in . avery : hi . uh , hi . i 'm here for my deposition . christine : yeah , you know , we 'll -- we 'll go ahead and do that in my office . avery : okay . i 'll be there . christine : [ sighs ] paul : chris -- christine : yeah , i 'll just -- i 'll see you at home . paul : oh ... sharon : hi , sweetheart . uh , no . i - i do n't know where your father is . well , i can give him a message . oh , he will love that . okay . i 'll tell him it 's up . i 'll talk to you soon . bye .
