dylan : i would n't wish what happened to you on anyone . i want you to recover . joe : thanks . dylan : but avery 's still blaming herself for what happened . joe : look , i keep telling her this was n't her fault . dylan : good . because i do n't want you taking advantage of her kindness . joe : you really see me as a threat ? dylan : if you think that avery 's gon na stay with you out of guilt or obligation , it 's not gon na happen . nick : why do n't we talk outside on the patio ? faith : why 'd that man say mommy was in a murder trial ? noah : no , he does n't even know mom , so do n't listen to him . it 's a mistake . faith : i think daddy 's mad . noah : hey , faith , do me a favor , okay ? will -- will you sit up here for me , please ? sit up here and eat these cookies . all right . i 'll be right back , okay ? sit right here . thank you . reporter : the public has a right to know . nick : can you not see that i 'm here with my daughter ? reporter : so you have n't told the kid yet ? are you planning to ? nick : if you ask me one more question , i swear to you -- noah : dad , dad , come on . forget this guy . come on . reporter : bipolar runs in families . are you worried the kid might grow up to be like her mother ? noah : dad , dad , come on ! dad , come on . forget it . nick : you heard him . noah : yeah , no , i know . i 'm not saying he does n't deserve it , but faith is in there , and she needs you right now . you ca n't go off like this . reporter : i am reporting this . noah : do n't ! hey , come on , man ! have some decency ! reporter : i am reporting this ! noah : hey , you knew what you were doing ! you know -- nick : all right , this is gon na be a problem , so i got to stay and deal with this . can you take faith home ? noah : yeah , sure . nick : i 'll try and figure out a way to explain all this to her later . noah : hey , look , we 're gon na get through this , okay ? nick : i should be the one saying that to you . i ca n't believe i let that guy get to me . noah : are you kidding me ? if you did n't hit him , i would have . nick : [ sighs ] noah : hey , faith , why do n't you grab those cookies ? we 'll hit the road , okay ? faith : is n't daddy coming with us ? noah : no , not right now . he 'll be home soon , okay ?

avery : eventually , but i 'm actually here with michael . he collapsed . dylan : michael ? is he -- is he okay ? avery : i hope so . um , i only could get him to come and get checked out if i promised that i would n't call lauren and needlessly worry her . that 's a promise i just broke . dylan : you did the right thing . i 'm sure he 's gon na understand . avery : what -- were you talking to joe ? dylan : uh , yeah , but i was looking for you . avery : what 's wrong ? dylan : your smile . i think it 's broken . avery : dylan . dylan : it 's just , you know , it 's not quite as bright as usual , and maybe that 's because you 're so busy taking care of everybody else and you have n't made time for yourself . avery : well , i can say the same thing about you . it 'd be nice if we could just take care of each other for a change . dylan : tomorrow you 're gon na be heading to chicago with -- with joe . avery : are you really okay with that ? dylan : i understand why you 're doing it . i 'm not gon na try to stop you . avery : but ? dylan : but i miss you . avery : i miss you , too . i do n't have anything to do tonight . dylan : me neither . so let 's -- let 's do it right . no computers , no phones . just us . avery : that sounds perfect . are you sure ? dylan : there is nothing i 'd like better than to spend the night holding you and shutting out the rest of the world like we used to . hilary : you were the one who insisted that what we had was real . and you were right . and neither of us wanted this . we could n't fight it . do you remember at the fashion show when we first felt what was happening ? do you remember how something changed in the air when we were together ? please tell me you remember . please . devon : at the gym . after i dropped that weight on my foot . what i felt for you ... hilary : even right before i was going to marry neil . devon : i 'm ashamed of that . hilary : we were n't trying to hurt anyone , okay ? we just wanted to be together . do you remember how we used to talk about how it could be when we were together ? devon : having a family , a home together . hilary : i still want that . but maybe you do n't . at least not with me . devon : what ? what ? hilary : i want this , okay ? devon : then why you pulling away ? hilary : i do n't want to ruin it by going too fast again . this is important . you are too important to me . devon : it has to be right this time . victor : so we very much want you as part of this merger . you know , it 's a very delicate negotiation right now . but when i look at all the qualifications of the various candidates , i must say no one came up as qualified as you . you have been cfo and ceo and coo , and you ran jabot cosmetics , and you have no affiliation with either the abbotts or newmans . jack : you come without a bias . victor : so we 're offering you the position of cfo . neil : yeah . guys , thank you . i , um ... jack , i hear you agreeing a lot with victor . jack : he 's right a lot these days . neil : i need to know how you feel about this , jack . you . jack : well , i ... neil : it 's funny . i can tell by that look on your face that you 're worried you 're gon na show up here to work and you 're gon na hear smooth jazz playing in the hallways , there 's gon na be employees in jeans , and all of that . jack : why would i think that ? neil : well , i - i instituted casual work environment . you -- i talked to you -- what -- why are you acting like you do n't remember this ? victor : of course , jack remembers . how could he forget ? jack : of course . victor : my goodness . jack : that 's some management style , neil . neil : yeah , you know i was goaded into it . by devon . jack : oh , right . that devon is some character . victor : he is some character . neil : jack , my man , are you sure you 're okay ? [ cell phone rings ] jack : sorry . you know what ? um , i second everything victor just said . i got to take this call . please excuse me . you 've got great timing , sugar . phyllis : hey , you are n't too busy ? jack : never too busy to chat with the love of my life . phyllis : i was thinking of asking victor and nikki to dinner . jack : when ? phyllis : tonight . jack : i was planning on being alone with you tonight . phyllis : just this once . it 'll be a show of goodwill . jack : okay , i 'll talk to , uh ... phyllis : i 've already cleared it with nikki . tonight we 're gon na celebrate you and victor putting your past grudges behind , all right ? jack : all right . i 'll see you soon . neil : okay , jack . it 's just me and you now . how do you really feel about this ? jack : how many ways can i say `` you 're hired `` ? neil : i 'm talking about you and victor . call me crazy , but a lot has happened between the two of you . how can you let this happen ? jack : you know what , neil ? priorities change . and my priorities have changed . and seeing the smile on my wife 's face this morning was confirmation enough that i 'm on the right track . so , what do you say ? we 'd love to have you working with us . neil : say hello to your new cfo . jack : great to have you on board . neil : thanks , jack . gwen : neil . there are some things i think you should know . victor : thank you . that was nikki . apparently she and phyllis are planning to have a celebratory dinner . i think it 's too soon for that . jack : i disagree . victor : i call the shots . it is too soon for you to be tested like this . nikki and phyllis can easily trip you up . jack : the last thing we want to do is send up red flags with nikki and phyllis , which is exactly what will happen if i cancel now . listen , you put me in this role for a reason . and it 's more than i 'm just as devilishly handsome as jack abbott . i have skills . let me bring them to the table . everything will be fine . victor : you are a convict . i sprang you out of a peruvian prison . you do as i tell you , and you better behave when we go to dinner . you got that ? sharon : oh . faith , oh , my gosh . honey , what 's wrong ? why is she so upset ? noah : we were at crimson lights with dad , and this guy came in , just said something to upset her . faith : it upset daddy , too . he went and punched that man . noah : oh , you saw that , huh ? faith : sorry . i kind of peeked . noah : mm - hmm . dad was angry , and he overreacted , okay ? but he 's sorting things out with that guy . it was a reporter . faith : that man said you were going to a murder trial . noah : look , mom , i told faith that now might not be the best time to see you , but she just wanted you , you know . i did n't know what to say . sharon : noah , you did the right thing , bringing her here . faith , um , you know what ? it 's about time we tell you what 's going on , baby , before you hear it from someone else . faith : did you do something bad ? sharon : there are some people , some people who are very close to me , who think that i did something very bad . lauren : [ sighs ] michael : avery called you . lauren : of course she called me . you -- you did n't want her to ? michael : i just did n't want a repeat of what happened last time when you got all worked up about nothing . lauren : stage 3 cancer . michael : i know what i have . lauren : months of radiation directed at tumors and who knows what other damage . michael : lauren , i 'm fine . lauren : the side effects , the millions of unknowns , that 's not nothing , michael ! and do not tell me that i 'm overreacting . this is the second time you have wound up in the hospital ! michael : i got a little dizzy ! lauren : because you have been overworking while you have been hiding out at sharon 's ! michael : you 're right . i 've been hiding . lauren : why ? michael : because i 'm suffocating ! yeah ! i got tired , and i fell down , but i was doing something ! i was feeling useful instead of like a damned invalid , which is the way you treat me ! lauren : i do not ! michael : it 's how you see me , lauren . you see me as this broken thing . you see me as something that should be pitied , and i 'm sick of it . i 'm sick of you being all over me . i need some space . lauren : what kind of space we talking about ? i mean ... four phone calls instead of five a day ? okay , two . that is my final offer . michael : i want a separation . phyllis : all right , we 're gon na suss out the truth about this merger and find out if it 's really just about backstabbing . nikki : yes , and if that 's what it is , we will convince jack and victor that it is possible to finally coexist without tearing each other up . phyllis : you think that 's really possible ? nikki : oh , hell if i know . [ door opens ] jack : hello , honeys ! [ chuckles ] we 're home . phyllis : hi ! jack : hi , beautiful . phyllis : hi . jack : this was a great idea . nikki : hi , darling . victor : hi , my sweetheart . and we have another reason to celebrate . nikki : we do ? what is that ? victor : yes . neil has come on as cfo of the company . phyllis : well , that 's fantastic news . victor : is n't it ? nikki : i am so glad . he 's been through so much lately . i was so pleased that you made that offer to him . victor : well , it 's good business , you know . jack : the cornerstone of our new relationship . what is best for newman - abbott . phyllis : even if it means making tough decisions , like , say , firing victoria . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would you say that ? phyllis : i 'm just making the point that jack had to fire a family member for the greater good . nikki : she 's just referring to when you had to fire billy , not that he 's the most reliable person in the world , nor is he the caliber of employee that victoria is . no offense . jack : oh , none taken . anybody care for a drink ? victor : yeah . gwen : i had no idea that devon and hilary were sneaking around behind your back . neil : yeah . well , yours , too , apparently . hey , look , i have to apologize for , uh ... for being so abrupt with you . and also i 'm sorry that my son used you the way he did . gwen : well , in the spirit of full disclosure , i did know i was a cover . neil : devon ? did he tell you ? gwen : no , it was hilary . she asked me to pretend to date devon so you and lily would stop asking about his personal life . i actually thought he was gay and trying to hide it until i spent more time with him . neil : yeah . hilary -- leave it to her to devise a plan like that . poor kid . you know , he never saw it coming . total manipulator . hell - bent on revenge . gwen : seems that way . neil : you know , gwen , with a little bit of time and distance , what happens , things become clear , right , and now i see just how badly he was used . he was deeply , deeply hurt . gwen : is that forgiveness i hear ? [ footsteps approaching ] joe : if i had family , okay , anyone else ... avery : joe , we 've discussed this . i will spend the week helping you sort through the information that you 'll be dealing with so that you can make the best decision moving forward . it 's the least i can do . joe : well , i 'm grateful , but you do n't owe me this , okay ? this was not your fault . avery : there 's no use trying to talk me out of it . joe : well , i do n't want you to feel like you need to be involved out of obligation . avery : get some rest . i 'll see you in the morning . okay , i am ready . i am ready to start -- mmm -- our romantic evening . dylan : oh , there 's been a change in plans . sharon : i did n't do anything wrong , but someone has made it look like i have . faith : who ? sharon : the person who really hurt austin and courtney . faith : but why do n't they believe you ? you always tell the truth . sharon : well , the thing is , faith , when i was sick , i sometimes acted in ways i normally would n't have . and i did some things that i 'm not proud of , and the police think that now is one of those times . but i want you to know that no matter how sick i was ... faith : i know , mommy . you were friends with austin and courtney . sharon : that 's right . and i would never hurt them , not them or anyone . faith : do you believe mommy ? noah : yeah , i do . faith : so do i . sharon : it means everything to me that you believe me . noah : hey , i 'll take , uh , i 'll take faith home . nick : thanks , bud . faith : we all believe in mommy . so we have to tell everyone she did n't do the bad thing and make them believe it , too . sharon : bye , sweetie . [ door closes ] sharon : i heard about that reporter . thanks for punching that guy for me . nick : i did n't do it for you . i did it for those kids who are going through hell right now because of you . sharon : i know the kids are going through hell right now , but damn it , so am i. i 'm the one who 's been set up for a double murder in a town of people who are happy to let me fry for something i did n't do . sorry i tarnished the sacred newman name . i 've spent my whole life protecting it , trying to protect you and your secret about sandy . nick : am i supposed to thank you ? sharon : how about take some responsibility , nick ! if i 'm to blame for what our children are going through right now , then so the hell are you ! avery : i 'm glad you got the water turned off before that pipe did more damage . dylan : yeah , me , too . plumber said he 's gon na fix it as fast as he can . avery : that 's fine . dylan : no , it 's not fine , because now i have to wait until he 's done , and i was ... just really looking forward to our night together . avery : well , things happen . it 's okay . dylan : why does it feel so weird ? avery : because we have n't spent any time alone together lately . and we save up all the things we want to say . dylan : and then you ca n't remember them . avery : i love you . you remember that ? dylan : yes . and i was hoping to show you how much i love you tonight . avery : and here we stand , mops in hand . dylan : not exactly how you imagined we 'd spend our last night together . avery : do n't call it our last night . dylan : no , i 'm just -- avery : i know , but i 'm only going for a week . it 's just a week . lauren : a separation ? michael : i did n't know i was gon na say that . lauren : and now that you have ? michael : it 's what i want . lauren : well , what about what i want ? i want to be in this marriage ! michael : you sure about that ? lauren : how can you even ask me that after everything that we have been through ? how hard we have worked to get to this place , and you want to give up ? well , no ! no , i am not gon na let you ! michael : you keep talking at me , telling me what you want , what you decide . lauren : yeah , and you 've decided -- michael : can you just listen to me , lauren ? ! lauren : yes . michael : the admitting doctor had all sorts of fancy words about why i 'm back in the hospital . `` the radiation `` that and `` cancer `` this . but what it comes down to is that i am ... tired . lauren : it 's because you 've been working too hard . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm listening . michael : i am tired of having to work so hard to hold this together . yes , people have their ups and downs , but it should n't be this constant struggle . marriage should n't be this hard . i 've tried . i can honestly say that i have given it all i could . but i got nothing left , lauren . it 's exhausting . i feel that you have so many expectations . lauren : what kind of expectations ? michael : i do n't want to be unkind , and i do n't want to fight . i just need some room to breathe . lauren : you thought you were gon na die , and you prepared for the worst . but it did n't happen . michael : it 's not that . lauren : i know that life seems so uncertain right now and that you 're having a hard time with -- with what comes next . michael : i 'm having a hard time , yes . lauren : o - okay . okay . i 'll give you the space that you need . i would say that i would move out , but , uh , you 're living with sharon , so that does n't seem to be an issue . michael : lauren , that 's my job . lauren : i have listened . i do n't want to belabor the issue . i do n't want to exhaust you . so i 'm just gon na say good night . michael : goodbye . phyllis : i am incredibly impressed with the working relationship you have formed with jack . victor : well , i 'm glad you feel that way . thank you . nikki : i second that . phyllis : things are going so well , you must have had open and honest discussions about past grievances and where things went wrong . victor : you bet . jack : of course . nikki : well , i 'm sure there must be some built - in protections . for example , jack could n't fire the entire newman family like he did that time when he made adam ceo . jack : w - what would be the point in that ? phyllis : payback , for things like victor supplying patty williams with a new identity so she could come back to town and throw a wrench into your life . jack : victor has assured me nothing like that could ever happen again . nikki : oh , and you believe him ? [ chuckles ] jack : you know , there comes a point in life where you do n't want to keep playing the same games all over again . victor and i have one - upped each other so many times , it does n't really matter anymore . victor : jack , you 're so right . it 's overdue that we forge a new relationship . jack : onward and upward . and if we reach greater heights working together , well , why the hell not ? victor : onward and upward . my sentiments exactly . now , is dinner ready ? phyllis : i think so . please . victor : thank you . phyllis : and i am very proud of you . jack : you 're gon na be a lot proud of me later . phyllis : you know , in honor of new beginnings , i 've actually gotten orchids for the dinner table this evening . and i am going to let jack explain the significance . victor : mm - hmm . jack : the -- the significance ? um ... phyllis : japan . do n't act like you do n't remember . jack : listen , you 're not going to like the sound of this . but there 's something i need to tell you right now . avery : as soon as i return , we are getting back to normal . dylan : oh , yeah . normal is so glamorous , mopping up the coffeehouse . avery : dylan mcavoy , you are the love of my life . dylan : and you are mine .

noah : yeah , they do n't want me at the funeral 'cause of mom . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry you 're being punished for sharon 's crime . noah : you know , i still ca n't believe that she ... could have killed two people . nick : you do n't want to believe it . none of us do , noah , but the evidence ... noah : i know . we have to be prepared . ooh , those look perfect . faith : they 're my favorites . am i ever going back to school ? nick : uh , yeah . but first there 's something we need to talk about . reporter : mr. newman , care to comment on your ex - wife 's upcoming murder trial ? faith : is he talking about mommy ? sharon : are you okay ? michael : yeah , i just got a little lightheaded . avery : okay , we need to get you to the hospital . michael : no . sharon : you need to get checked out . michael : i 'm probably just a little dehydrated . avery : i 'll call lauren . she should know about this . michael : okay , okay , fine . fine . i 'll go to the hospital . just do n't bother lauren about this . joe : you 're really okay with avery escorting me to rehab ? dylan : i would n't wish what happened to you on anyone . i want you to recover . joe : thanks . dylan : but avery 's still blaming herself for what happened . joe : look , i keep telling her this was n't her fault . dylan : good . because i do n't want you taking advantage of her kindness . joe : you really see me as a threat ? dylan : if you think that avery 's gon na stay with you out of guilt or obligation , it 's not gon na happen . nick : why do n't we talk outside on the patio ? faith : why 'd that man say mommy was in a murder trial ? noah : no , he does n't even know mom , so do n't listen to him . it 's a mistake . faith : i think daddy 's mad . noah : hey , faith , do me a favor , okay ? will -- will you sit up here for me , please ? sit up here and eat these cookies . all right . i 'll be right back , okay ? sit right here . thank you . reporter : the public has a right to know . nick : can you not see that i 'm here with my daughter ? reporter : so you have n't told the kid yet ? are you planning to ? nick : if you ask me one more question , i swear to you -- noah : dad , dad , come on . forget this guy . come on . reporter : bipolar runs in families . are you worried the kid might grow up to be like her mother ? noah : dad , dad , come on ! dad , come on . forget it . nick : you heard him . noah : yeah , no , i know . i 'm not saying he does n't deserve it , but faith is in there , and she needs you right now . you ca n't go off like this . reporter : i am reporting this . noah : do n't ! hey , come on , man ! have some decency ! reporter : i am reporting this ! noah : hey , you knew what you were doing ! you know -- nick : all right , this is gon na be a problem , so i got to stay and deal with this . can you take faith home ? noah : yeah , sure . nick : i 'll try and figure out a way to explain all this to her later . noah : hey , look , we 're gon na get through this , okay ? nick : i should be the one saying that to you . i ca n't believe i let that guy get to me . noah : are you kidding me ? if you did n't hit him , i would have . nick : [ sighs ] noah : hey , faith , why do n't you grab those cookies ? we 'll hit the road , okay ? faith : is n't daddy coming with us ? noah : no , not right now . he 'll be home soon , okay ?

avery : eventually , but i 'm actually here with michael . he collapsed . dylan : michael ? is he -- is he okay ? avery : i hope so . um , i only could get him to come and get checked out if i promised that i would n't call lauren and needlessly worry her . that 's a promise i just broke . dylan : you did the right thing . i 'm sure he 's gon na understand . avery : what -- were you talking to joe ? dylan : uh , yeah , but i was looking for you . avery : what 's wrong ? dylan : your smile . i think it 's broken . avery : dylan . dylan : it 's just , you know , it 's not quite as bright as usual , and maybe that 's because you 're so busy taking care of everybody else and you have n't made time for yourself . avery : well , i can say the same thing about you . it 'd be nice if we could just take care of each other for a change . dylan : tomorrow you 're gon na be heading to chicago with -- with joe . avery : are you really okay with that ? dylan : i understand why you 're doing it . i 'm not gon na try to stop you . avery : but ? dylan : but i miss you . avery : i miss you , too . i do n't have anything to do tonight . dylan : me neither . so let 's -- let 's do it right . no computers , no phones . just us . avery : that sounds perfect . are you sure ? dylan : there is nothing i 'd like better than to spend the night holding you and shutting out the rest of the world like we used to . hilary : you were the one who insisted that what we had was real . and you were right . and neither of us wanted this . we could n't fight it . do you remember at the fashion show when we first felt what was happening ? do you remember how something changed in the air when we were together ? please tell me you remember . please . devon : at the gym . after i dropped that weight on my foot . what i felt for you ... hilary : even right before i was going to marry neil . devon : i 'm ashamed of that . hilary : we were n't trying to hurt anyone , okay ? we just wanted to be together . do you remember how we used to talk about how it could be when we were together ? devon : having a family , a home together . hilary : i still want that . but maybe you do n't . at least not with me . devon : what ? what ? hilary : i want this , okay ? devon : then why you pulling away ? hilary : i do n't want to ruin it by going too fast again . this is important . you are too important to me . devon : it has to be right this time . victor : so we very much want you as part of this merger . you know , it 's a very delicate negotiation right now . but when i look at all the qualifications of the various candidates , i must say no one came up as qualified as you . you have been cfo and ceo and coo , and you ran jabot cosmetics , and you have no affiliation with either the abbotts or newmans . jack : you come without a bias . victor : so we 're offering you the position of cfo . neil : yeah . guys , thank you . i , um ... jack , i hear you agreeing a lot with victor . jack : he 's right a lot these days . neil : i need to know how you feel about this , jack . you . jack : well , i ... neil : it 's funny . i can tell by that look on your face that you 're worried you 're gon na show up here to work and you 're gon na hear smooth jazz playing in the hallways , there 's gon na be employees in jeans , and all of that . jack : why would i think that ? neil : well , i - i instituted casual work environment . you -- i talked to you -- what -- why are you acting like you do n't remember this ? victor : of course , jack remembers . how could he forget ? jack : of course . victor : my goodness . jack : that 's some management style , neil . neil : yeah , you know i was goaded into it . by devon . jack : oh , right . that devon is some character . victor : he is some character . neil : jack , my man , are you sure you 're okay ? [ cell phone rings ] jack : sorry . you know what ? um , i second everything victor just said . i got to take this call . please excuse me . you 've got great timing , sugar . phyllis : hey , you are n't too busy ? jack : never too busy to chat with the love of my life . phyllis : i was thinking of asking victor and nikki to dinner . jack : when ? phyllis : tonight . jack : i was planning on being alone with you tonight . phyllis : just this once . it 'll be a show of goodwill . jack : okay , i 'll talk to , uh ... phyllis : i 've already cleared it with nikki . tonight we 're gon na celebrate you and victor putting your past grudges behind , all right ? jack : all right . i 'll see you soon . neil : okay , jack . it 's just me and you now . how do you really feel about this ? jack : how many ways can i say `` you 're hired `` ? neil : i 'm talking about you and victor . call me crazy , but a lot has happened between the two of you . how can you let this happen ? jack : you know what , neil ? priorities change . and my priorities have changed . and seeing the smile on my wife 's face this morning was confirmation enough that i 'm on the right track . so , what do you say ? we 'd love to have you working with us . neil : say hello to your new cfo . jack : great to have you on board . neil : thanks , jack . gwen : neil . there are some things i think you should know . victor : thank you . that was nikki . apparently she and phyllis are planning to have a celebratory dinner . i think it 's too soon for that . jack : i disagree . victor : i call the shots . it is too soon for you to be tested like this . nikki and phyllis can easily trip you up . jack : the last thing we want to do is send up red flags with nikki and phyllis , which is exactly what will happen if i cancel now . listen , you put me in this role for a reason . and it 's more than i 'm just as devilishly handsome as jack abbott . i have skills . let me bring them to the table . everything will be fine . victor : you are a convict . i sprang you out of a peruvian prison . you do as i tell you , and you better behave when we go to dinner . you got that ? sharon : oh . faith , oh , my gosh . honey , what 's wrong ? why is she so upset ? noah : we were at crimson lights with dad , and this guy came in , just said something to upset her . faith : it upset daddy , too . he went and punched that man . noah : oh , you saw that , huh ? faith : sorry . i kind of peeked . noah : mm - hmm . dad was angry , and he overreacted , okay ? but he 's sorting things out with that guy . it was a reporter . faith : that man said you were going to a murder trial . noah : look , mom , i told faith that now might not be the best time to see you , but she just wanted you , you know . i did n't know what to say . sharon : noah , you did the right thing , bringing her here . faith , um , you know what ? it 's about time we tell you what 's going on , baby , before you hear it from someone else . faith : did you do something bad ? sharon : there are some people , some people who are very close to me , who think that i did something very bad . lauren : [ sighs ] michael : avery called you . lauren : of course she called me . you -- you did n't want her to ? michael : i just did n't want a repeat of what happened last time when you got all worked up about nothing . lauren : stage 3 cancer . michael : i know what i have . lauren : months of radiation directed at tumors and who knows what other damage . michael : lauren , i 'm fine . lauren : the side effects , the millions of unknowns , that 's not nothing , michael ! and do not tell me that i 'm overreacting . this is the second time you have wound up in the hospital ! michael : i got a little dizzy ! lauren : because you have been overworking while you have been hiding out at sharon 's ! michael : you 're right . i 've been hiding . lauren : why ? michael : because i 'm suffocating ! yeah ! i got tired , and i fell down , but i was doing something ! i was feeling useful instead of like a damned invalid , which is the way you treat me ! lauren : i do not ! michael : it 's how you see me , lauren . you see me as this broken thing . you see me as something that should be pitied , and i 'm sick of it . i 'm sick of you being all over me . i need some space . lauren : what kind of space we talking about ? i mean ... four phone calls instead of five a day ? okay , two . that is my final offer . michael : i want a separation . phyllis : all right , we 're gon na suss out the truth about this merger and find out if it 's really just about backstabbing . nikki : yes , and if that 's what it is , we will convince jack and victor that it is possible to finally coexist without tearing each other up . phyllis : you think that 's really possible ? nikki : oh , hell if i know . [ door opens ] jack : hello , honeys ! [ chuckles ] we 're home . phyllis : hi ! jack : hi , beautiful . phyllis : hi . jack : this was a great idea . nikki : hi , darling . victor : hi , my sweetheart . and we have another reason to celebrate . nikki : we do ? what is that ? victor : yes . neil has come on as cfo of the company . phyllis : well , that 's fantastic news . victor : is n't it ? nikki : i am so glad . he 's been through so much lately . i was so pleased that you made that offer to him . victor : well , it 's good business , you know . jack : the cornerstone of our new relationship . what is best for newman - abbott . phyllis : even if it means making tough decisions , like , say , firing victoria . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would you say that ? phyllis : i 'm just making the point that jack had to fire a family member for the greater good . nikki : she 's just referring to when you had to fire billy , not that he 's the most reliable person in the world , nor is he the caliber of employee that victoria is . no offense . jack : oh , none taken . anybody care for a drink ? victor : yeah . gwen : i had no idea that devon and hilary were sneaking around behind your back . neil : yeah . well , yours , too , apparently . hey , look , i have to apologize for , uh ... for being so abrupt with you . and also i 'm sorry that my son used you the way he did . gwen : well , in the spirit of full disclosure , i did know i was a cover . neil : devon ? did he tell you ? gwen : no , it was hilary . she asked me to pretend to date devon so you and lily would stop asking about his personal life . i actually thought he was gay and trying to hide it until i spent more time with him . neil : yeah . hilary -- leave it to her to devise a plan like that . poor kid . you know , he never saw it coming . total manipulator . hell - bent on revenge . gwen : seems that way . neil : you know , gwen , with a little bit of time and distance , what happens , things become clear , right , and now i see just how badly he was used . he was deeply , deeply hurt . gwen : is that forgiveness i hear ? [ footsteps approaching ] joe : if i had family , okay , anyone else ... avery : joe , we 've discussed this . i will spend the week helping you sort through the information that you 'll be dealing with so that you can make the best decision moving forward . it 's the least i can do . joe : well , i 'm grateful , but you do n't owe me this , okay ? this was not your fault . avery : there 's no use trying to talk me out of it . joe : well , i do n't want you to feel like you need to be involved out of obligation . avery : get some rest . i 'll see you in the morning . okay , i am ready . i am ready to start -- mmm -- our romantic evening . dylan : oh , there 's been a change in plans . sharon : i did n't do anything wrong , but someone has made it look like i have . faith : who ? sharon : the person who really hurt austin and courtney . faith : but why do n't they believe you ? you always tell the truth . sharon : well , the thing is , faith , when i was sick , i sometimes acted in ways i normally would n't have . and i did some things that i 'm not proud of , and the police think that now is one of those times . but i want you to know that no matter how sick i was ... faith : i know , mommy . you were friends with austin and courtney . sharon : that 's right . and i would never hurt them , not them or anyone . faith : do you believe mommy ? noah : yeah , i do . faith : so do i . sharon : it means everything to me that you believe me . noah : hey , i 'll take , uh , i 'll take faith home . nick : thanks , bud . faith : we all believe in mommy . so we have to tell everyone she did n't do the bad thing and make them believe it , too . sharon : bye , sweetie .

[ chuckles ] jack : you know , there comes a point in life where you do n't want to keep playing the same games all over again . victor and i have one - upped each other so many times , it does n't really matter anymore . victor : jack , you 're so right . it 's overdue that we forge a new relationship . jack : onward and upward . and if we reach greater heights working together , well , why the hell not ? victor : onward and upward . my sentiments exactly . now , is dinner ready ? phyllis : i think so . please . victor : thank you . phyllis : and i am very proud of you . jack : you 're gon na be a lot proud of me later . phyllis : you know , in honor of new beginnings , i 've actually gotten orchids for the dinner table this evening . and i am going to let jack explain the significance . victor : mm - hmm . jack : the -- the significance ? um ... phyllis : japan . do n't act like you do n't remember . jack : listen , you 're not going to like the sound of this . but there 's something i need to tell you right now . avery : as soon as i return , we are getting back to normal . dylan : oh , yeah . normal is so glamorous , mopping up the coffeehouse . avery : dylan mcavoy , you are the love of my life . dylan : and you are mine .

[ scene_break ] craig : i do n't know how much your mother 's told you about why we 're getting married . parker : it was n't very hard to figure out . you want to get custody of johnny . craig : you 're right . i want johnny to be raised in a real family , with brothers and a sister he could look up to . parker : yeah , well , our family is n't perfect . craig : no one 's is . but carly 's done a great job raising you kids . and we agreed that if she helped me with johnny , then i would support her and all you kids for as long as i live . parker : okay , well , you do n't need to convince me . because it does n't matter anyway . she does what she wants . craig : no , actually it does matter . she wo n't marry me unless you and sage and j.j. are all onboard . parker : yeah , well , um , j.j. is away at boarding school . so , he 's not going to stop you . craig : then i have to convince your sister . parker : yeah , sage is going to be a tough sell . craig : well maybe you can help me win her over . parker : i would n't count on that . craig : i could really use your help here , buddy . do you remember my son , bryant ? parker : yeah , he was killed in a car accident . craig : yeah . and not a day goes by that i do n't regret that i was n't the father that he deserved . but johnny gives me another chance . a chance to be a better father . but not just to johnny , but also to you , to sage , and to your other brother . parker : you mean , like a do - over ? craig : exactly . you know , every time i look at you , i think of bryant when he was about your age ... and i also think of all the mistakes that i 've made . so , yeah , i want a do - over . i just want to get things right this time , parker . it would really mean a lot to me , if you gave me this chance .

[ scene_break ] craig : i do n't know how much your mother 's told you about why we 're getting married . parker : it was n't very hard to figure out . you want to get custody of johnny . craig : you 're right . i want johnny to be raised in a real family , with brothers and a sister he could look up to . parker : yeah , well , our family is n't perfect . craig : no one 's is . but carly 's done a great job raising you kids . and we agreed that if she helped me with johnny , then i would support her and all you kids for as long as i live . parker : okay , well , you do n't need to convince me . because it does n't matter anyway . she does what she wants . craig : no , actually it does matter . she wo n't marry me unless you and sage and j.j. are all onboard . parker : yeah , well , um , j.j. is away at boarding school . so , he 's not going to stop you . craig : then i have to convince your sister . parker : yeah , sage is going to be a tough sell . craig : well maybe you can help me win her over . parker : i would n't count on that . craig : i could really use your help here , buddy . do you remember my son , bryant ? parker : yeah , he was killed in a car accident . craig : yeah . and not a day goes by that i do n't regret that i was n't the father that he deserved . but johnny gives me another chance . a chance to be a better father . but not just to johnny , but also to you , to sage , and to your other brother . parker : you mean , like a do - over ? craig : exactly . you know , every time i look at you , i think of bryant when he was about your age ... and i also think of all the mistakes that i 've made . so , yeah , i want a do - over . i just want to get things right this time , parker . it would really mean a lot to me , if you gave me this chance .

[ scene_break ] carly : look , i do n't want to dwell on the past . it does n't do any good , it 's not important , and as far as i 'm concerned , you wiped that slate clean as soon as you helped us find faith and we brought morgan and kristina home . lorenzo : unfortunately , i was n't referring to the past . i saw faith the day she escaped from pentonville . carly : you saw her ? lorenzo : luke spencer approached me about borrowing a million dollars . he had a plan to exonerate skye of detective duncan 's murder . faith would confess , and in exchange , luke and skye would break her out of prison with a cool million in her purse . luke put up the haunted star as collateral . i wanted the casino . naturally , i thought the plan was doomed to fail , so i agreed . and damned if spencer did n't pull it off . carly : yeah , well , it 's dangerous to underestimate my uncle -- spencers in general . why did n't you tell me ? lorenzo : because i knew you needed my help to find those kids , and you would n't accept it if you knew the truth . carly , if i had known what faith was planning , not only would i have prevented her escape , but i would 've killed her right then and there . all right . now you know . i 'm profoundly sorry . [ scene_break ] ric : you need to get this through your head , faith -- there 's no way out for you , all right ? there 's no place you can run , there 's no deal that you 're going to be able to make . you have admitted to killing a child that you kidnapped -- that is murder with special circumstances . that 's a death sentence , and i 'm going to make sure that you get it . faith : wo n't you feel the slightest bit hypocritical , ric , prosecuting me ? because you are , in fact , a kidnapper yourself , mr. holier - than - thou . think about it -- you abducted carly when she was pregnant , kept her chained to a wall for weeks , all the while planning to kill her and steal her unborn child . you , my friend , are in absolutely no position to judge me . ric : you 're right . i was wrong . but i corrected my behavior . i let carly go and i rebuilt my life . faith : oh . gee . ok , then . and what a life you did manage to build -- district attorney , married to the equally smug alexis davis and , oh , stepfather to your brother 's child . must be sweet . ric : it is . faith : well , enjoy it while you can because unless you cut me a deal allowing me to plead insanity , i am going to systematically trash your marriage , your career , and everything you hold dear , and it will be my distinct pleasure to watch you stand in the ruins . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know this man by reputation but i never had any dealings with him . there 's no reason -- he would n't have a reason to hurt me or -- reese : oh , well , at least we have a place to start . sonny : if faith 's plan was to , you know , send the kids away and fake their deaths to stop the search , that means that maybe her timetable was thrown . reese : right . sonny : maybe she did n't , you know , finish the setup . reese : i agree . sonny : right . reese : so we just have to follow the loose ends to whoever took morgan and kristina from the back of the church and forged the documents that got them listed as orphans . sonny : she had a partner , you know . reese : equally if not more dangerous than faith . that 's why you have to think , sonny . who else would be motivated to help faith steal your children ? john : what are you still doing here ? reese : oh . john : there 's no case to be solved . thanks to the time you 've wasted coddling sonny , my grandson is dead .

[ scene_break ] rachel : sorry to say it , but you do n't look too happy . steven : some days , this job is n't so fun . rachel : and which one would that be , oh , wearer - of - many - hats ? steven : the forensics . sometimes the evidence can lead you to places you really would rather not go . [ scene_break ] courtney : mac , it should n't surprise anyone that you found my hair in a.j . 's hotel room . i was there . i already admitted that . and look , a.j . and i fought , which would explain the traces of his blood . mac : it 's not that simple . there 's new evidence . it all has to be investigated . i 'd like you to come down to the station so we can go through your version of events again . jax : you can forget it , mac . she 's not going anywhere with you . [ scene_break ] sam : have you found anything ? jason : this whole idea of numbered offshore accounts is to hide money , conceal identities . this whole thing could be a waste of time . not that it matters . i mean , nothing does if michael 's gone , right ? sam : no , no , no . jason , do not let your father do this to you . alan is grieving . he is looking for someone to blame . you 're an easy target . it does not make any of -- jason : sam -- sam : his accusations true . jason : if michael is dead , i do n't know what to do with that . you know all the things i told you when your baby died ? i just do n't know how to make them work for myself . that 's why i 'm holding on right now to reese 's theory that michael survived . sam : i do n't know much about anything , but i am sure of one thing . more than anyone i have ever known , i trust your instincts . so if you feel that searching for michael is a dead end , then we stop . but if you have even a shred of hope , jason -- a shred of hope , then we keep going . either way , i am on your side . [ scene_break ] ric : you 're not going to cut any deals , faith . do you understand me ? you 're not going to get up in front of some judge and plead insanity so that he can send you off to some treatment facility where you can convince the doctors that you 're sane and that you 're cured and they send you off , or better yet , so that you can plan yet another escape . you deserve to die for what you did . i am going to see that justice is served . faith : are n't you something to see ? eyes all afire with righteous indignation . the law and god on your side . very moving , ric . i 'll give you that . and up until now , it has played out beautifully on the evening news . oh , god , look at you . d.a . , in spite of some rather dubious connections to not one , but two local mob figures . well , guess what , sweetheart -- everything is about to change . ric : is that right ? faith : yes . you see , i 'm going to get on the stand , and i am going to testify to every single lurid detail of our relationship . ric : that was no relationship , faith ! faith : exactly . i am going to stand there and tell the world how you used me and threw me away like garbage . i will cry rivers when i tell them how devastated i was , how blindsided , how i begged you to give me another chance . and you made me feel like dirt , you son of a bitch . when i tell them how my complete and utter humiliation and hurt turned into rage . and that you were the target of my vendetta , not sonny . not alexis . you . because of your insensitive , callous behavior , those poor , sweet , innocent children were kidnapped . and after i am through trashing your career , i will start in on your marriage . alexis : you 're forgetting something , faith . it 's my marriage , too . there 's no way in hell i 'm ever going to give you the power to destroy that . [ scene_break ] john : you two are spinning your wheels so you can cover your own backs . reese : that sounds like a good trick . how does that work , mr. durant ? john : well , you do n't want a black mark on your record , right ? you know , the brass do n't like botched cases , especially ones that have children that are murdered . and you -- you want to make sure that you have continued access to the one son you have left because you know the second carly starts to see things clearly , she 's going to realize that michael is dead , it 's because of you , and she 's going to take steps to keep morgan away from you . and that 's why you keep feeding in her denial , encouraging her to believe that michael is still alive . sonny : michael is alive . john : yeah ? oh , so says the grieving father . only you 're not , right ? michael is adopted . he 's not your flesh and blood . your two children are home safe and sound . sonny : michael 's my son . say he 's not . go ahead , say it again , durant . say michael 's not my son ! reese : all right -- john : do n't you threaten me ! sonny : no , you say it to me . reese : as long as mr. durant is here , i think our time is best facilitated by asking him a few questions . durant , where were you the night kristina was abducted ? john : what does that matter ? reese : faith is working with an accomplice . john : so ? reese : so , carly had frozen you out of her life . it 's conceivable that you contacted faith , arranged for her to kidnap your children so you could come on in and rescue them and look like a hero in your daughter 's eyes . oh , and just so you know , i have every intention of questioning faith about your potential involvement . john : you listen , my grandson is dead . instead of standing here concocting elaborate conspiracy theories , why do n't you march your ass down to the courthouse and make sure that the woman who killed michael pays ? sonny : do n't concern yourself . she is going to pay . along with anybody else who made the mistake of helping her . [ scene_break ] lucky : i know everybody means well . and i am grateful for all the love . but if one more person stops by my room with flowers or asks me even how i 'm doing -- emily : well , i know , i know . too much concern can start to feel like pressure . lucky : yeah . i just want to get out of this place . i just want to get back to my room over kelly 's , you know ? be it ever so humble . emily : listen , i have a better idea . i 've been thinking of moving back to wyndemere . and you 're not strong enough to stay alone . and god knows , there 's plenty of room there . so why do n't you just stay with me until you 're fully recovered ?

[ scene_break ] jax : this is about the police department giving in to pressure from the quartermaines , specifically alan . he wants someone to blame . now , i understand and sympathize , but i wo n't allow him to make courtney a scapegoat . mac : i 'm not trying to railroad innocent people , jax . i 'm trying to solve a homicide . and right now , at this juncture , all the evidence points to courtney . jax : well , why do n't you just arrest her and be done with it ? mac : i do n't have enough to bring charges . jax : oh . i did n't think so . mac : are you refusing to go to the station ? courtney : well , i wo n't be interrogated without my lawyer present . mac : that 's your right . i 'll be in contact with your attorney . rachel : things looked pretty heated over here . what 's going on ? jax : um -- mac just wanted to know about the a.j . case . it 's no big deal . rachel : then why do you look so upset ? courtney : i 'm fine . may we have some privacy , please ? rachel : of course . well , you know where i 'll be . jax : can we go , please ? courtney : sure . but , jax , i do n't want to go home . i need to go find sonny and carly and see if i can do anything for them . jax : well , i 'd offer to come with you , but -- courtney : it 's -- it 's best if i go alone . jax : is there anything i can do for you in the meantime ? courtney : if you do n't mind , could you go to faith 's arraignment ? i mean , i doubt she 'll say anything new , but just in case . jax : hey , consider it done . courtney : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] faith : you can thank your husband here for the inspiration . after watching the way sonny came unglued when ric took carly , i knew the surest way to destroy him was through his children . and see , i could have limited my efforts to michael and morgan , but i wanted ric to suffer . so i took your daughter . alexis : you really should n't waste what we 're all hoping will be your last breath . there 's nothing that you 're going to say that 's going to make me turn against my husband . in fact , i 'm willing to give him a big , fat kiss when he gets you convicted and sentenced to lethal injection . have you had about enough ? ric : more than . thanks for the vote of confidence . alexis : there 's nothing that woman is going to say to make me doubt you . we 've been through too much together . [ scene_break ] faith : our deal was that you would get me out of here . so do it now . or i will tell the police and the grieving family what really happened to michael , and why . [ scene_break ] jason : why ? why would faith keep michael alive as long as she did only to kill him at the end ? and why would she even admit killing him at all , unless she 's lying to just make us give up the search ? sam : find the answers to those questions , and i think you may find michael . what is this , her financial records ? jason : yeah , she -- man , she bounced her money around a lot . wait a minute . sam : what ? jason : look at that . a $ 2 million deposit on january 31 , 2005 . that 's the day kristina was taken . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you did this , durant -- if you assisted faith in any way so you can send our kidnapped children to carly as christmas gifts , god help you . john : you can make all the threats you want , but it does n't change the truth . those children were taken . it was because of you . and a grandson that i barely got to know because you would n't let me -- he 's dead . and you 're the reason . you take michael into your home ; you swear you 're going to be a father to him . you expose him to danger . you failed to protect him . shame on you . carly : what is going on here ? why are you here ? john : i 'm going to take you and morgan away from here before he gets you killed , the way he did michael . carly : do n't you say things like that . michael is alive . faith faked his death and then she sent him somewhere else . john : carly , i know that 's what you want to believe , and who can blame you ? but the evidence tells another story . carly : what evidence , john ? what evidence are you talking about ? are you talking about an empty grave , or a muddy shovel and a few drops of blood ? are you talking about the bold - faced lie that she told when she said that she murdered my son ? john : why would she confess to the murder of a child that she did n't commit ? carly : i do n't know , john . i do n't know . why does she confess to anything ? why does she say or do anything ? she 's evil . john : carly -- carly : she 's vindictive , she 's out of her mind , she just wants us to suffer ! john : carly . maybe you 're in denial , or maybe on some level you blame yourself for staying loyal to sonny or letting him adopt michael and take a place in both of your sons ' lives , but you -- carly : ok , you 're about to step over a line . i need you to stop it . john : i 'll risk any anger you can throw at me if it means keeping my one remaining grandson safe , and he is not safe as long as he is in this monster 's orbit ! carly : monster ? john : yeah , he 's a monster ! as long as he stays in his orbit , he is not safe , he is at risk . carly , i am begging you ; do not let michael 's death go in vain . please learn something from this . protect morgan , get him out of this house and as far away from sonny as you possibly can ! sonny : carly can stay here as long as she wants . she can leave when she wants . morgan is my son . i 'm not giving up . john : yeah , well , you do n't mind seeing him dead just like his brother -- carly : ok , you know what ? that 's enough . get out now ! john : carly , i 'm sorry . look , please come with me . i 'm just trying to protect my family here ! carly : you know what i 'm going to do ? i 'm going to call you . i 'm going to call you when we get michael back . do n't you touch me . john : carly , i love you . i love you . i 'm sorry . i -- i 'll be here if you need me . all right . sonny : do you want morgan away from me ? carly : i 'm going to let you make that decision . what do you think is best for our son ? [ scene_break ] alan : we need to be there for faith 's arraignment and her trial . it 's the last thing that we can do for michael . monica , we abandoned that little boy . we turned him over to carly and sonny instead of supporting a.j . when he challenged the custody . monica : a.j . did n't challenge custody . he lied , he manipulated , he blackmailed . i mean , he married courtney under false pretenses . alan : and she killed him in the end ! what are you saying ; she was justified in doing that ? monica : alan , a.j . was my son . michael is my grandson . you do n't have the monopoly on loss and pain . my grief runs just as deep as yours , only i do n't go around attacking everybody ! alan : i want justice for michael and a.j . and if you 're waiting around here for me to apologize , do n't . it 's not going to happen .

's murder . a strand of hair was found at the crime scene . it contained trace evidence of a.j . 's blood . the hair tested a match for courtney matthews . [ scene_break ] alan : how unbelievably ironic that courtney , the wife that you stole from a.j . , ends up stabbing him to death and that michael , the child you stole from a.j . , is dead a month later . sam : no , we are not sure that michael is dead . alan : oh , we 're sure , all right . the killer confessed . but , hey , i think it 's really nice of you to jump to his defense . has he ever told you the kind of man he really is ? hey , did you ever tell her that you lied about being michael 's father for the first year of his life , when a.j . was literally around the corner ? sam : that 's the way carly wanted it . alan : oh , yes -- carly , the mother of the millennium . thanks to her propensity for gangsters , my grandson spent his entire life surrounded by guns , bulletproof glass , and the dregs of the earth . but , hey , he was n't with a.j . you could n't have made him a better target if you 'd drawn a bull 's - eye on his chest . why would any of us be surprised that he was kidnapped and murdered ? jason : are you done ? sam : we are trying to conduct an investigation that will lead us to michael so we can bring him home safe . alan : you 're deluding yourself . sam : no , i am not . it is possible that faith was working with an accomplice , someone she sent michael to . alan : you are deluding yourself . you 're trying to escape the fact that you are responsible , but you ca n't do it . every time you look in the mirror , one thing 's going to come back at you -- that if it was n't for you , a.j . and michael would both be alive . you carry that guilt for the rest of your life . i could n't think of a more deserving son . sam : do n't you dare listen to one word alan just said . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i do n't want to dwell on the past . it does n't do any good , it 's not important , and as far as i 'm concerned , you wiped that slate clean as soon as you helped us find faith and we brought morgan and kristina home . lorenzo : unfortunately , i was n't referring to the past . i saw faith the day she escaped from pentonville . carly : you saw her ? lorenzo : luke spencer approached me about borrowing a million dollars . he had a plan to exonerate skye of detective duncan 's murder . faith would confess , and in exchange , luke and skye would break her out of prison with a cool million in her purse . luke put up the haunted star as collateral . i wanted the casino . naturally , i thought the plan was doomed to fail , so i agreed . and damned if spencer did n't pull it off . carly : yeah , well , it 's dangerous to underestimate my uncle -- spencers in general . why did n't you tell me ? lorenzo : because i knew you needed my help to find those kids , and you would n't accept it if you knew the truth . carly , if i had known what faith was planning , not only would i have prevented her escape , but i would 've killed her right then and there . all right . now you know . i 'm profoundly sorry .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i know this man by reputation but i never had any dealings with him . there 's no reason -- he would n't have a reason to hurt me or -- reese : oh , well , at least we have a place to start . sonny : if faith 's plan was to , you know , send the kids away and fake their deaths to stop the search , that means that maybe her timetable was thrown . reese : right . sonny : maybe she did n't , you know , finish the setup . reese : i agree . sonny : right . reese : so we just have to follow the loose ends to whoever took morgan and kristina from the back of the church and forged the documents that got them listed as orphans . sonny : she had a partner , you know . reese : equally if not more dangerous than faith . that 's why you have to think , sonny . who else would be motivated to help faith steal your children ? john : what are you still doing here ? reese : oh . john : there 's no case to be solved . thanks to the time you 've wasted coddling sonny , my grandson is dead .

[ scene_break ] rachel : sorry to say it , but you do n't look too happy . steven : some days , this job is n't so fun . rachel : and which one would that be , oh , wearer - of - many - hats ? steven : the forensics . sometimes the evidence can lead you to places you really would rather not go . [ scene_break ] courtney : mac , it should n't surprise anyone that you found my hair in a.j . 's hotel room . i was there . i already admitted that . and look , a.j . and i fought , which would explain the traces of his blood . mac : it 's not that simple . there 's new evidence . it all has to be investigated . i 'd like you to come down to the station so we can go through your version of events again . jax : you can forget it , mac . she 's not going anywhere with you . [ scene_break ] sam : have you found anything ? jason : this whole idea of numbered offshore accounts is to hide money , conceal identities . this whole thing could be a waste of time . not that it matters . i mean , nothing does if michael 's gone , right ? sam : no , no , no . jason , do not let your father do this to you . alan is grieving . he is looking for someone to blame . you 're an easy target . it does not make any of -- jason : sam -- sam : his accusations true . jason : if michael is dead , i do n't know what to do with that . you know all the things i told you when your baby died ? i just do n't know how to make them work for myself . that 's why i 'm holding on right now to reese 's theory that michael survived . sam : i do n't know much about anything , but i am sure of one thing . more than anyone i have ever known , i trust your instincts . so if you feel that searching for michael is a dead end , then we stop . but if you have even a shred of hope , jason -- a shred of hope , then we keep going . either way , i am on your side . [ scene_break ] ric : you 're not going to cut any deals , faith . do you understand me ? you 're not going to get up in front of some judge and plead insanity so that he can send you off to some treatment facility where you can convince the doctors that you 're sane and that you 're cured and they send you off , or better yet , so that you can plan yet another escape . you deserve to die for what you did . i am going to see that justice is served . faith : are n't you something to see ? eyes all afire with righteous indignation . the law and god on your side . very moving , ric . i 'll give you that . and up until now , it has played out beautifully on the evening news . oh , god , look at you . d.a . , in spite of some rather dubious connections to not one , but two local mob figures . well , guess what , sweetheart -- everything is about to change . ric : is that right ? faith : yes . you see , i 'm going to get on the stand , and i am going to testify to every single lurid detail of our relationship . ric : that was no relationship , faith ! faith : exactly . i am going to stand there and tell the world how you used me and threw me away like garbage . i will cry rivers when i tell them how devastated i was , how blindsided , how i begged you to give me another chance . and you made me feel like dirt , you son of a bitch . when i tell them how my complete and utter humiliation and hurt turned into rage . and that you were the target of my vendetta , not sonny . not alexis . you . because of your insensitive , callous behavior , those poor , sweet , innocent children were kidnapped . and after i am through trashing your career , i will start in on your marriage . alexis : you 're forgetting something , faith . it 's my marriage , too . there 's no way in hell i 'm ever going to give you the power to destroy that .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i know everybody means well . and i am grateful for all the love . but if one more person stops by my room with flowers or asks me even how i 'm doing -- emily : well , i know , i know . too much concern can start to feel like pressure . lucky : yeah . i just want to get out of this place . i just want to get back to my room over kelly 's , you know ? be it ever so humble . emily : listen , i have a better idea . i 've been thinking of moving back to wyndemere . and you 're not strong enough to stay alone . and god knows , there 's plenty of room there . so why do n't you just stay with me until you 're fully recovered ?

[ scene_break ] jax : this is about the police department giving in to pressure from the quartermaines , specifically alan . he wants someone to blame . now , i understand and sympathize , but i wo n't allow him to make courtney a scapegoat . mac : i 'm not trying to railroad innocent people , jax . i 'm trying to solve a homicide . and right now , at this juncture , all the evidence points to courtney . jax : well , why do n't you just arrest her and be done with it ? mac : i do n't have enough to bring charges . jax : oh . i did n't think so . mac : are you refusing to go to the station ? courtney : well , i wo n't be interrogated without my lawyer present . mac : that 's your right . i 'll be in contact with your attorney . rachel : things looked pretty heated over here . what 's going on ? jax : um -- mac just wanted to know about the a.j . case . it 's no big deal . rachel : then why do you look so upset ? courtney : i 'm fine . may we have some privacy , please ? rachel : of course . well , you know where i 'll be . jax : can we go , please ? courtney : sure . but , jax , i do n't want to go home . i need to go find sonny and carly and see if i can do anything for them . jax : well , i 'd offer to come with you , but -- courtney : it 's -- it 's best if i go alone . jax : is there anything i can do for you in the meantime ? courtney : if you do n't mind , could you go to faith 's arraignment ? i mean , i doubt she 'll say anything new , but just in case . jax : hey , consider it done . courtney : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] faith : you can thank your husband here for the inspiration . after watching the way sonny came unglued when ric took carly , i knew the surest way to destroy him was through his children . and see , i could have limited my efforts to michael and morgan , but i wanted ric to suffer . so i took your daughter . alexis : you really should n't waste what we 're all hoping will be your last breath . there 's nothing that you 're going to say that 's going to make me turn against my husband . in fact , i 'm willing to give him a big , fat kiss when he gets you convicted and sentenced to lethal injection . have you had about enough ? ric : more than . thanks for the vote of confidence . alexis : there 's nothing that woman is going to say to make me doubt you . we 've been through too much together . [ scene_break ] faith : our deal was that you would get me out of here . so do it now . or i will tell the police and the grieving family what really happened to michael , and why . [ scene_break ] jason : why ? why would faith keep michael alive as long as she did only to kill him at the end ? and why would she even admit killing him at all , unless she 's lying to just make us give up the search ? sam : find the answers to those questions , and i think you may find michael . what is this , her financial records ? jason : yeah , she -- man , she bounced her money around a lot . wait a minute . sam : what ? jason : look at that . a $ 2 million deposit on january 31 , 2005 . that 's the day kristina was taken . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you did this , durant -- if you assisted faith in any way so you can send our kidnapped children to carly as christmas gifts , god help you . john : you can make all the threats you want , but it does n't change the truth . those children were taken . it was because of you . and a grandson that i barely got to know because you would n't let me -- he 's dead . and you 're the reason . you take michael into your home ; you swear you 're going to be a father to him . you expose him to danger . you failed to protect him . shame on you . carly : what is going on here ? why are you here ? john : i 'm going to take you and morgan away from here before he gets you killed , the way he did michael . carly : do n't you say things like that . michael is alive . faith faked his death and then she sent him somewhere else . john : carly , i know that 's what you want to believe , and who can blame you ? but the evidence tells another story . carly : what evidence , john ? what evidence are you talking about ? are you talking about an empty grave , or a muddy shovel and a few drops of blood ? are you talking about the bold - faced lie that she told when she said that she murdered my son ? john : why would she confess to the murder of a child that she did n't commit ? carly : i do n't know , john . i do n't know . why does she confess to anything ? why does she say or do anything ? she 's evil . john : carly -- carly : she 's vindictive , she 's out of her mind , she just wants us to suffer ! john : carly . maybe you 're in denial , or maybe on some level you blame yourself for staying loyal to sonny or letting him adopt michael and take a place in both of your sons ' lives , but you -- carly : ok , you 're about to step over a line . i need you to stop it . john : i 'll risk any anger you can throw at me if it means keeping my one remaining grandson safe , and he is not safe as long as he is in this monster 's orbit ! carly : monster ? john : yeah , he 's a monster ! as long as he stays in his orbit , he is not safe , he is at risk . carly , i am begging you ; do not let michael 's death go in vain . please learn something from this . protect morgan , get him out of this house and as far away from sonny as you possibly can ! sonny : carly can stay here as long as she wants . she can leave when she wants . morgan is my son . i 'm not giving up . john : yeah , well , you do n't mind seeing him dead just like his brother -- carly : ok , you know what ? that 's enough . get out now ! john : carly , i 'm sorry . look , please come with me . i 'm just trying to protect my family here ! carly : you know what i 'm going to do ? i 'm going to call you . i 'm going to call you when we get michael back . do n't you touch me . john : carly , i love you . i love you . i 'm sorry . i -- i 'll be here if you need me . all right . sonny : do you want morgan away from me ? carly : i 'm going to let you make that decision . what do you think is best for our son ?

jason : to push my buttons . and there was a girl who looked like you . and he had her in the exact same box that he had you in . and franco put a gun to her head and everybody acted like it was some weird art , something to entertain them . sam : yeah ? jason : and then there was the video of the dirtbag who went after michael in prison . sam : i do n't understand why he keeps trying to provoke you . jason : i 'm not sure . i still do n't know . but i chased franco out onto the roof of the museum . i came out of the stairwell , and he was already on the far side of the roof near the edge . and he yelled out to me . and then he jumped . disappeared over the side , smashing into the middle of the crowd . everybody thought it was part of the show . people started applauding . sam : that is so weird . jason : anyway , the cops think i pushed him , but i didn't . sam : of course -- no . come on , i believe you . jason : i know you do . but it 's just one more thing that franco did that made no sense to me . sam : hey , hey , hey . can we just ... i do n't want to talk about franco anymore . i do n't want to waste what little time we have left doing that . i just want to be with you . oh , this is good . jason : oh , yeah , this is good . spinelli : fair samantha , it 's happened , a breakthrough ! stone cold ! ah ! you 're back ! i have come up with a means to set you free . johnny : it 's hard to remember exactly where it all started . if i had to guess , it would be right around the time where sonny accused me for kidnapping michael and then shooting kate . you know kate , right ? brook lynn : no , but i have heard of connie . johnny : ah , ok , well , kate got shot on her wedding day . and sonny blamed me for the whole thing . he had his goons pick me up , that 's putting it nicely , and they dragged me to this abandoned psychiatric hospital where they held me and beat the crap out of me for days . tried to force me to cop to something that i never even did . so claudia , in typical claudia fashion , wanted retribution . took out a hit on sonny , hired this guy who ... long story short , the guy missed . bullet ricocheted , and it hit michael . brook lynn : oh . ok , so that 's how michael ended up in the coma . and then after all of this , sonny went and married claudia ? johnny : heh , match made in heaven , right ? man . and sonny finally found out that claudia was responsible for the shooting . he went ballistic , called her out in front of a room full of people . claudia , in turn , kidnapped carly . i 'm sure you know the events that happened the rest of the night . it was just a whole snowball . brook lynn : i 'm really sorry about your sister . johnny : thank you . she had her issues , though . my father treated her like crap . so in turn , she would always go after the guy who would treat her that way . and sonny had no problem using claudia , you know . he 'd call her his wife in order to get what he wanted , and that finally just destroyed her . and really , nobody 's ever held him accountable for any of it . that 's what i 'm here for . that should be your cue to run for the hills . brook lynn : you can take the last one . carly : you know , i 've never been in prison , but when you were a baby , i was in a psychiatric facility called ferncliff . and that was hell for me . you had no control at all and it just makes you feel so vulnerable . and there were some things that happened to me in there i never thought i could get over . but i did . michael : how ? carly : i talked to someone , and it really helped me . michael : look , mom , i did n't get out of prison so i can sit down and discuss my feelings with some stranger . carly : i 'm not talking about some stranger . i 'm talking about jason . michael : after franco 's caught , he 's not going to be around anymore . carly : you do n't know that . michael : mom , he 's going to be on the run or back in pentonville . carly : ok , you know what , how about me ? i 'm a good listener . you 're an adult . you 're way past the age of thinking talking to your mom 's lame , so you can talk to me . michael : yeah , you 're right , mom , i am an adult . but sometimes when i hear myself , i just sound like some whiny kid . carly : michael ... michael : look , i spent a few weeks in prison , so what ? kristina : hi . carly : hey . michael : were you with ethan this whole time ? kristina : i took a nap in the chair while he slept . and then the nurse came in and they had to take him for some tests , and the policeman said i had to come back and wait here . carly : i 'm going to go see how long this lockdown is going to be in effect . michael : no offense , but it looks like you have n't slept at all . kristina : i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to sleep again . every time i close my eyes , i have the worst nightmares . elizabeth : lucky 's right . the hospital needs to stay on lockdown . and i want to help find my son . nikolas : i 'm gon na go see if i can find anything new . steve : there must be some kind of compromise . i mean , we have a hospital full of patients who need more care than we 're able to give them under these conditions . lucky : ok . we 'll allow a limited number of medical personnel through one set of doors . we 'll need someone from hospital administration to identify and clear them . we 'll have a couple of officers take the visitors into the cafeteria and keep them there . and we 'll try to keep hallway traffic to staff and emergency care . steve : that works for me . no one is going to leave this hospital . i promise . we 're going to find aiden . elizabeth : what are you thinking ? lucky : something 's staring us right in the face and we 're not seeing it . dante : when i was in the plaza in l.a. , i saw this beautiful blond , and i thought , that is one hell of a double for lulu . and then it was you . so really , what were you doing in l.a. ? lulu : i told you , i was worried about you . dante : hmm . that 's nice . do n't ever do it again . lulu : what , you 're the only one who can take chances ? dante : well , it 's my job . you could have got hurt . lulu : but i was n't , and franco 's been stopped . dante : yeah , and this time tomorrow jason will be going back to pentonville . lulu : so what about you ? are you going to go after sonny ? [ elevator opening ] dante : you know , we really got ta work out a privacy plan for michael . lulu : how about this ? [ both giggling ] dante : uh , kind of busy here . ronnie : yeah , i can see that . dante : you know , new rule , maybe you call first before you just decide to show up . ronnie : well , why do n't you just answer me this -- why is n't jason morgan back in pentonville doing other people 's laundry ? spinelli : the jackal has used his superior cyber skills to sabotage the lock on stone cold 's ankle monitor . within mere moments , you could be free to roam far and wide . sam : ok , now when did you have time to figure this out ? spinelli : well , my intention initially was to give young michael the ability to roam around freely . you know , perhaps mr . sir would look more kindly upon the jackal if he was able to access his son without fear of michael 's re- incarceration . sam : i thought this was supposed to be foolproof . spinelli : well , i 'm certain no fool could have done what i have . jason : so you 're telling me that i can disable my ankle monitor without triggering the alarm ? spinelli : yes , disable and remove , creating ideal circumstance for you to disappear . we could then place the monitor in some obscure location , creating a perfect distraction . you could be halfway to anywhere you would like , and the law abiding ones will be pursuing the most confusing distractions . sam : yes ! i love you , spinelli . ah ! thank you ! spinelli : i 'm fond of you as well . sam : ok , now we just have to figure out where we want to go . to keep in balance after 50 , steve : more staff are on their way to take over some of the load , but i just wanted you all to know how impressed i am with how you 've handled this crisis . robin : well , the situation wo n't really be handled until elizabeth 's baby is found . steve : i agree . lisa : well , i 'm sure that steve is doing the best job that he can . patrick : does that mean the patients ' families can go home ? lucky : no , no one 's leaving . arrivals will be cleared by police and hospital security at the doors . steve : and in the meantime , while you all are doing your own job , please , please keep your eyes open for anything that seems off . sooner baby cassadine 's found , the sooner we can return to normal . man on p.a . : dr. rodriguez , call pediatrics . dr. lucia rodriguez , call pediatrics . robin : poor steve . his own nephew . patrick : well , he 's holding up pretty well . robin : i think steve 's the kind of guy , the more upset he is , the better he hides it . i ca n't imagine how elizabeth and nikolas must feel right now . patrick : no , a newborn baby , a preemie , it 's a parent 's worst nightmare . i -- robin : i called . emma 's ok . patrick : so did i . robin : judy told me that you sang her the happy puppy song ? patrick : she was n't supposed to tell you that . robin : well , you ca n't keep secrets from me . of course , i pretended i knew exactly what she was talking about . oh , yeah , the happy puppy song . but why you have not sang it to me ? patrick : it 's a song that we made up because she was missing you , and i wanted to make her feel better . robin : you 're such a good dad , and a wonderful husband . do you know how blessed we are ? patrick : you show me every day . robin : when i was sitting with my uncle mac , i realized how close i was to losing him . it just makes me so grateful for everything i have , and i really , i do n't tell you enough how much you mean to me and how much i depend on you . i love you so much . patrick : i love you , too . desk nurse : hmm , sorry . dr. drake . patrick : hmm ? desk nurse : you 've been paged to 305 . patrick : ok , thank you . duty calls . i 'll see you later . robin : ok . steve : just between us , are n't the first few hours a child goes missing the most critical ? lucky : usually , yeah . steve : so it 's already been too long . lucky : if i could just figure out what franco wanted with the baby , i might be able to find aiden . i mean , he had to have given his accomplise instructions . steve : like what to do in case of his death . lucky : yeah . that would be nice . you know , franco had a way of hiding in plain sight . you know what , i may have just answered my own question . dante : oh , he 's still here . ronnie : yeah . you know , according to jason morgan 's ankle monitor , he 's at home . but you 're here . which gives him another opportunity to escape . dante : yeah , you know what , the only place jason morgan is going is back to prison when i take him there at 5 : 00 p.m. today . ronnie : you know , it occurs to me that maybe you want jason morgan to run . dante : [ chuckles ] you know , i 'm curious . what possible motive would i have in assisting jason 's escape when my badge is on the line ? ronnie : ok , well , here it goes . jason is sonny 's enforcer , and he 's useless in prison , right . so if he escapes , he could set up shop on some tropical island and run the business offshore . and then that keeps your daddy untouchable . and by the way , i think your daddy would be really grateful to his firstborn for helping out with that . dante : wow . you know , i 'm pretty much done with all your digs about how easy i 'm going on sonny . ronnie : godfather shoots a cop point blank in the chest . now , said cop does n't press charges . you would have questions , too . dante : you know what , i think it 's time for you to leave . i 'll deal with jason . ronnie : you know , what a shame , you know . the lines start to blur , you start making excuses , and you think that just once you could turn your head and look the other way . but that is when you lose your moral compass . or , you know , maybe when somebody else 's son dies because of corinthos , maybe you 'll remember that . dante : so , how about some breakfast ? lulu : are you asking me to make it or to eat it ? dante : no , i 'll cook . you just stay there looking gorgeous , right there . lulu : what if he 's right ? what if jason tries to escape ? spinelli : passports , drivers licenses for 3 different states , and social security cards . sam : you 're kidding me , these are perfect , spinelli . spinelli : i would recommend that you drive to jfk , and then fly to one of the 5 locations that i 've selected . oh , here are your confirmations . sam : let 's see . what about money ? spinelli : well , my recent venture into post - maximista bachelorhood has left me plenty of time to focus on stone cold 's business affairs , particularly his offshore portfolio . so my arrangements have provided you the means to be financially free . i also had the good sense to select locations that have warmer winters and less humid summers -- sam : that 's so awesome . i ca n't thank you enough , really . ok , well , what about you ? what are you going to do ? spinelli : i will remain here , in my regrettably pink room . i will do my best to find a worthy partner for mccall and jackal p.i . , though no one could ever replace you , of course . nor stone cold , for that matter . um ... but i will soldier on . and maybe someday make the journey to join you . but in the meantime , we must make haste . i will fetch the tool necessary to disable the apparatus . jason : no . i appreciate everything you did . but i 'm not going to run . [ sighs ] jason : we ca n't leave . sam : why not ? jason : because we can't . you have to leave your sisters , your mom , your life . i 'd have to leave carly and her kids , especially michael right now at this point . and , you know , spinelli , the cops would be all over you if we leave for who knows how long . spinelli : stone cold , you are constantly sacrificing for those you value . why can i do the honorable thing and help -- sam : because jason would never let you suffer while he 's free , that 's why . jason : 'cause i made a choice , and i need to live with it . sam : spinelli , can you please give us a moment ? thank you . [ door closes ] sam : i have backed you up on everything so far , including you going to prison to protect michael . you have a chance at freedom , and you 're turning it down ? i 'm sorry , jason , i ca n't back you up on this . michael : the dreams will stop . the dreams will stop . or at least they 'll fade . but hey , until then , you 've got me , ok ? i do n't care if it 's the middle of the night . you call me and we 'll talk for as long as you need . kristina : i love you , michael . michael : i love you , too . carly : oh , i hope i 'm not interrupting . kristina : oh , it 's just me having a moment . michael : you 're allowed . carly : i think we 're all allowed . i called home . morgan and josslyn are fine . mercedes is taking good care of them . michael : good . kristina : i think i 'm going to sneak back over to ethan 's room . a lot has happened to him because of me , and the least i can do is keep him company . carly : how is she really ? michael : messed up . i told her to give it time . carly : michael ... [ cell phone rings ] michael : hmm ? carly : it 's the hotel . thought it might have been jax , you know , calling to check in or something . michael : mom , i 'm sure he would call if he knew what was happening . carly : yeah , he 's obviously too busy to check his messages . guess that 's what being separated is all about , right ? michael : what , you just stop caring ? carly : i can't . i 've tried . i love jax , you know . and i hate the idea of him moving on . johnny : thank you . brook lynn : you 're very welcome . ok , so i 'm still having trouble understanding how 2 people can see someone so differently . let 's take sonny , right ? he 's my godfather , and he has always been good , always been good to me . but then my father could n't stand him , and my mom , she was very close with him , their whole lives . johnny : wow . you know , you sound like that whole legion of sonny fans that 's got a million and one reasons why i 'm wrong and sonny 's deserving a sainthood . brook lynn : really ? johnny : mm - hmm . brook lynn : now , i would n't go that far . johnny : well , but you 're saying he 's a good guy , right ? that he 's good to his kids , he gives money to the hospital , he 's got a big heart . does n't drown puppies . brook lynn : did i say that ? no . what i was going to say is that this is your game with sonny . it 's all you . and you can feel however you want to feel and you can do the things you want to do , but that does n't mean i have to agree with you . the truth is , i should n't even care . johnny : why do you ? brook lynn : i trust my instincts . and i feel like , if you 're going to be so passionate and stubborn , then there 's got ta be more to it . johnny : then why give me the benefit of the doubt ? brook lynn : oh , ok , so are you saying i should n't ? patrick : ahh . um , i 'm gon na have to come back with a nurse . there 's no chart out here , and we 're a little bit out of the ordinary right now . lisa : you 've been working too hard , doctor , so let me help you relax . patrick : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? lisa : ok , so you do n't want your wife to know that we are involved . all right , that 's fine . so we can just -- we can meet and we can have sex whenever we want . this can be our little secret . patrick : don't . stop it . lisa : ok , it 's what we both want . and you know that i can be discreet . patrick : look at me . you need to stop what you 're doing . lisa : or what ? lisa : do n't worry , sweet robin does n't need to know . patrick : stop it , enough . lisa : oh , you 're in danger of becoming a very dull boy . patrick : you know what , i 've tried to be nice . but for god sake , have some self respect . lisa : ok , you do n't use me and then throw me away . patrick : if that 's what it takes to get through to you , that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . lisa : ok , you do n't do what we did , and then you turn around and act like i mean nothing to you . steve : hey , hey , if you need help , you should call a nurse ! elizabeth : is a nurse going to help me find my baby ? steve : lizzie , you have lucky and nikolas combing this place from top to bottom with a whole bunch of cops . and the staff has been alerted -- elizabeth : oh , the staff . it 's a little late for that , is n't it ? come on , you 're the chief of staff . do n't you take any responsibility for what 's happened in this hospital ? steve : i know you 're freaking out , but i do n't -- elizabeth : you tell me , you tell me which one of your big plans made it ok for a baby to be stolen . how someone who probably is n't even a nurse had access to the babies . is n't the nursery supposed to be the safest place ? steve : i know sorry is n't enough . but i swear , we 'll do a thorough evaluation -- elizabeth : he 's gone . steven , my son is missing and it 's all your fault . nikolas : lucky , i got your page , what ? lucky : nursery staff inventoried all the monitors . aiden 's was n't among them , so -- nikolas : ... had access to the equipment to do it with . lucky : yeah , i mean , it was probably here the whole time . i do n't know how we missed it . franco 's plant could have taken him out of the hospital before the lockdown even began . ok , ok . dante : this is a really bad idea . brook lynn : why is that ? johnny : is there something wrong , officer ? is it suddenly against the law to have breakfast in the company of a pretty lady ? dante : no . i mean , hey , the upside to whatever this is is i can tell my mother you 've moved on , which is great . but for the future , maybe you should consider brook off - limits . johnny : wow . since when did that become your call ? sam : you ca n't just expect me to just step aside and let you go back to prison . i love you . jason : i love you , too . i know it 's going to be tough , but i 'm going to do my time , and i might even get out early . sam : get out early ? i 'm sorry for being a realist , jason . you may serve 2 to 5 years , but considering how many people want you dead , i really do n't see that happening . jason : look , i can take care of myself -- sam : i know ! i know you can , and that is the problem here . what happens when you kill somebody because you have to defend yourself ? then that 5 years turns into a life sentence . i 'm sorry , the only thing that looks like an idea of a possibility of spending a life with you is doing what spinelli says -- jason : look , sam , i -- sam : i know , jason , i know . our families . we 'd be leaving everybody , everybody that we love . i want a life with you . and i thought you wanted one with me , too . jason : i do want a life -- sam : ok , so then let 's go . please . jason , i am begging you , please . leave with me , now . leave and never look back . | robin and patrick talk about matt 's brilliance in the operating room . lisa drinks from patrick 's cup of coffee . patrick makes it clear that he is n't interested in lisa . nikolas and elizabeth are panicking over aiden 's absence . nikolas wants to offer a reward but lucky thinks it 's a bad idea . steven wants to lift the lockdown . steven addresses the hospital staff . robin is worried about nikolas and elizabeth . lisa sees robin and patrick kissing . lucky discovers aiden 's ankle monitor . lucky assumes that jane morgan left the hospital before the lockdown . elizabeth blames steven for allowing aiden to be kidnapped . jason and dante return to the penthouse . dante agrees to let sam spend time with jason before heading back to pentonville . jason tells sam about franco 's art exhibit . sam ca n't believe that franco is dead . spinelli announces that jason 's ankle monitor can be disabled . sam is ecstatic that she and jason can go on the run . jason refuses to leave port charles . sam wo n't support jason 's decision to return to pentonville . dante heads back home where he finds lulu in bed . after lulu and dante make love , ronnie barges in the loft . ronnie is furious that jason is n't back in prison . michael has a nightmare about carter . carly confides to michael about the time she spent in a psych ward . kristina tells michael that she has been experiencing nightmares too . carly is debating whether or not she should be with jax . mike refuses to serve johnny at the diner . johnny and brook lynn go over the reasons why he hates sonny . johnny leans in to kiss brook lynn but dante interrupts . dante tells johnny that brook lynn is `` off - limits `` . lisa slaps patrick when he refuses to have sex with her . | <s>[INST] man on p.a . : paging dr . cameron , dr . gary cameron . patrick : lovely . robin : [ chuckles ] this place is like a ghost town . it 's so weird . patrick : at least we 're conditioned for chaos . robin : when do you think the lockdown will be over ? patrick : i do n't know . they have n't found elizabeth 's baby yet . how 's mac ? did you check on him ? robin : he had an ok night . i 'm just so grateful to you and matt for being here to take care of him . patrick : no , that was all matt . you know that 's not easy for me to say . robin : i know that the odds were stacked against my uncle mac with 2 bullets in the chest . patrick : mac 's a hero . who knows how many people warren bauer would have shot if he did n't stop him . robin : and here i thought when you became commissioner , you 're going to be out of harm 's way . it just ...

[ beeper beeping ] patrick : i have to take this . lisa : ok . brook lynn : i have n't had a cinnamon bun like this since my grandma gloria 's . mike : ha , well , this is her recipe . i got it from carmine in exchange for an injury report on a little philly out at belmont . ooh ! brook lynn : oh . mike : ooh ! tell him i said hi , ok ? brook lynn : i will , thank you . they 're actually at lake george for the whole month . and it 's the only time of the year where they do n't worry about me . mike : oh , come on , trust me . i 'm a parent and a grandparent . you always worry . johnny : hey . brook lynn : hi ! johnny : mike , can i see a menu for some to - go , please ? mike : the only thing that has to go here is you . johnny : oh , mike , come on . mike : look , you do n't use my granddaughter against my son , nearly get her killed , and walk in here and ask for pancakes like it 's nothing . johnny : actually , i just wanted a bagel and some coffee , that 's it . mike : out . johnny : right . brook lynn : thank you . i 'll see you later . hey , johnny , wait up a second . johnny : yeah ? brook lynn : i have something i 'm willing to share . johnny : heh , really ? that 's sweet . what 's the catch ? brook lynn : no catch . no . i just , i 'm -- it 's a thank you for the amazing boat ride . but if you want to do me a favor ... johnny : that depends . brook lynn : ok , so i 'm having a hard time understanding why you hate sonny so much . i get that he was mean to your sister , i get all of that . but is it really worth the grudge that you 're carrying ? johnny : wow . i think i 've heard this somewhere else before . michael : it was just another bad dream , that 's all . carly : about what ? michael : i do n't know , pick a nightmare , mom . i mean , i 've been shot , i woke up from a coma . i killed my stepmother and i was sent to prison . i have a lot of garbage in my head . carly : i 'm so sorry . michael : no , it 's not your fault . carly : i made so many wrong choices for you . michael : look , mom , i 'm fine . i 'm really fine , ok ? it 's just , being in this lockdown , it just reminded me of prison , feeling trapped . but now i get to wake up , and i 'm free . right ? i mean , i ... if i play my cards right , i wo n't go back to pentonville . the worst is over , right ? sam : how long do we have left ? dante : well , i could use a shower , a little down time before i have to face the paperwork . 5 : 00 ? sam : that 's great , thank you . we 'll take it . jason : are you ok ? sam : i just do n't want to think about what happens at 5 : 00 , or sleeping without you tonight . i want -- i want every second that we have left together . lucky : look , we went through every room on every floor looking for aiden . we even covered the basement , and right now we 're combing through the parking garage . nikolas : i think it 's time we at least consider the idea that this jane morgan removed aiden 's baby monitor bracelet . elizabeth : at this point , she 's had hours to get away . lucky : we have posted people at the airports and trains and bus stations . there 's an apb for the highways . but all things considered , aiden could still be here in the hospital . nikolas : well , i ca n't just sit around here and do nothing . someone out there might have seen someone , know something . maybe $ 5 million ought to get someone to talk . lucky : whoa , hey , nikolas , do n't do that . you post a reward , every looney in upstate new york is going to come out of the woodwork . that 's going to make our job a lot harder . nikolas : would you put out a reward if it were your child instead of mine ? nikolas : i 'm sorry , that was uncalled for . i 'm just -- i 'm frustrated . i do n't like feeling helpless like this . lucky : none of us do . but listen , an infant is missing , ok . and there 's protocol that 's been proven effective . following that protocol gives aiden his best chance . nikolas : i understand that , lucky . but there has to be something i can do to help . steve : sorry , there 's nothing new . elizabeth : please , steven , you have to do something , anything . steve : lizzie , i wish , i wish i could fix this for you . lucky and the pcpd are turning this place upside down . in the meantime , i -- i ca n't keep this hospital running on a skeleton crew with no sleep . when will you lift the lockdown ? lucky : when we find the baby . steve : mercy is taking our emergency patients and they ca n't handle the load much longer . critical patients ca n't be treated until the outside labs analyze tissue samples . we have civilians here that we 're not able to handle , and they 're ready to revolt . i think we need to set the deadline so i know when to open the hospital doors again . lucky : if we open those doors too soon , the kidnapper disappears , along with aiden . lulu : mmm . i was having the most wonderful dream . dante : ah , do n't let me stop you . lulu : mmm , i was about to tell you that i love you before you woke me up . dante : oh , well ... leave it to me to ruin everything . lulu : mmm . the real thing is so much better . dante : all right , you go first . lulu : mmm . i love you . your turn . dante : i love that i love a woman who dreams about how much she loves me . lulu : oh ! 'cause it 's all about you . dante : apparently so . dante : there 's not anything i would n't do for you . lulu : really ? that 's good , 'cause i have a favor to ask you . dante : anything . lulu : could you not have so many close calls ? dante : i 'm just trying to remind you not to take me for granted . lulu : oh , well . you live a very charmed life , detective . dante : well , it became downright enchanted when you showed up . lulu : wow . that 's really sweet , or your worst line yet . jason : you should have seen franco 's art show . there was video running . footage of him and me projected on the side of a building . sam : what for ? jason : to push my buttons . and there was a girl who looked like you . and he had her in the exact same box that he had you in . and franco put a gun to her head and everybody acted like it was some weird art , something to entertain them . sam : yeah ? jason : and then there was the video of the dirtbag who went after michael in prison . sam : i do n't understand why he keeps trying to provoke you . jason : i 'm not sure . i still do n't know . but i chased franco out onto the roof of the museum . i came out of the stairwell , and he was already on the far side of the roof near the edge . and he yelled out to me . and then he jumped . disappeared over the side , smashing into the middle of the crowd . everybody thought it was part of the show . people started applauding . sam : that is so weird . jason : anyway , the cops think i pushed him , but i didn't . sam : of course -- no . come on , i believe you . jason : i know you do . but it 's just one more thing that franco did that made no sense to me . sam : hey , hey , hey . can we just ... i do n't want to talk about franco anymore . i do n't want to waste what little time we have left doing that . i just want to be with you . oh , this is good . jason : oh , yeah , this is good . spinelli : fair samantha , it 's happened , a breakthrough ! stone cold ! ah ! you 're back ! i have come up with a means to set you free . johnny : it 's hard to remember exactly where it all started . if i had to guess , it would be right around the time where sonny accused me for kidnapping michael and then shooting kate . you know kate , right ? brook lynn : no , but i have heard of connie . johnny : ah , ok , well , kate got shot on her wedding day . and sonny blamed me for the whole thing . he had his goons pick me up , that 's putting it nicely , and they dragged me to this abandoned psychiatric hospital where they held me and beat the crap out of me for days . tried to force me to cop to something that i never even did . so claudia , in typical claudia fashion , wanted retribution . took out a hit on sonny , hired this guy who ... long story short , the guy missed . bullet ricocheted , and it hit michael . brook lynn : oh . ok , so that 's how michael ended up in the coma . and then after all of this , sonny went and married claudia ? johnny : heh , match made in heaven , right ? man . and sonny finally found out that claudia was responsible for the shooting . he went ballistic , called her out in front of a room full of people . claudia , in turn , kidnapped carly . i 'm sure you know the events that happened the rest of the night . it was just a whole snowball . brook lynn : i 'm really sorry about your sister . johnny : thank you . she had her issues , though . my father treated her like crap . so in turn , she would always go after the guy who would treat her that way . and sonny had no problem using claudia , you know . he 'd call her his wife in order to get what he wanted , and that finally just destroyed her . and really , nobody 's ever held him accountable for any of it . that 's what i 'm here for . that should be your cue to run for the hills . brook lynn : you can take the last one . carly : you know , i 've never been in prison , but when you were a baby , i was in a psychiatric facility called ferncliff . and that was hell for me . you had no control at all and it just makes you feel so vulnerable . and there were some things that happened to me in there i never thought i could get over . but i did . michael : how ? carly : i talked to someone , and it really helped me . michael : look , mom , i did n't get out of prison so i can sit down and discuss my feelings with some stranger . carly : i 'm not talking about some stranger . i 'm talking about jason . michael : after franco 's caught , he 's not going to be around anymore . carly : you do n't know that . michael : mom , he 's going to be on the run or back in pentonville . carly : ok , you know what , how about me ? i 'm a good listener . you 're an adult . you 're way past the age of thinking talking to your mom 's lame , so you can talk to me . michael : yeah , you 're right , mom , i am an adult . but sometimes when i hear myself , i just sound like some whiny kid . carly : michael ... michael : look , i spent a few weeks in prison , so what ? kristina : hi . carly : hey . michael : were you with ethan this whole time ? kristina : i took a nap in the chair while he slept . and then the nurse came in and they had to take him for some tests , and the policeman said i had to come back and wait here . carly : i 'm going to go see how long this lockdown is going to be in effect . michael : no offense , but it looks like you have n't slept at all . kristina : i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to sleep again . every time i close my eyes , i have the worst nightmares . elizabeth : lucky 's right . the hospital needs to stay on lockdown . and i want to help find my son . nikolas : i 'm gon na go see if i can find anything new . steve : there must be some kind of compromise . i mean , we have a hospital full of patients who need more care than we 're able to give them under these conditions . lucky : ok . we 'll allow a limited number of medical personnel through one set of doors . we 'll need someone from hospital administration to identify and clear them . we 'll have a couple of officers take the visitors into the cafeteria and keep them there . and we 'll try to keep hallway traffic to staff and emergency care . steve : that works for me . no one is going to leave this hospital . i promise . we 're going to find aiden . elizabeth : what are you thinking ? lucky : something 's staring us right in the face and we 're not seeing it . dante : when i was in the plaza in l.a. , i saw this beautiful blond , and i thought , that is one hell of a double for lulu . and then it was you . so really , what were you doing in l.a. ? lulu : i told you , i was worried about you . dante : hmm . that 's nice . do n't ever do it again . lulu : what , you 're the only one who can take chances ? dante : well , it 's my job . you could have got hurt . lulu : but i was n't , and franco 's been stopped . dante : yeah , and this time tomorrow jason will be going back to pentonville . lulu : so what about you ? are you going to go after sonny ? [ elevator opening ] dante : you know , we really got ta work out a privacy plan for michael . lulu : how about this ? [ both giggling ] dante : uh , kind of busy here . ronnie : yeah , i can see that . dante : you know , new rule , maybe you call first before you just decide to show up . ronnie : well , why do n't you just answer me this -- why is n't jason morgan back in pentonville doing other people 's laundry ? spinelli : the jackal has used his superior cyber skills to sabotage the lock on stone cold 's ankle monitor . within mere moments , you could be free to roam far and wide . sam : ok , now when did you have time to figure this out ? spinelli : well , my intention initially was to give young michael the ability to roam around freely . you know , perhaps mr . sir would look more kindly upon the jackal if he was able to access his son without fear of michael 's re- incarceration . sam : i thought this was supposed to be foolproof . spinelli : well , i 'm certain no fool could have done what i have . jason : so you 're telling me that i can disable my ankle monitor without triggering the alarm ? spinelli : yes , disable and remove , creating ideal circumstance for you to disappear . we could then place the monitor in some obscure location , creating a perfect distraction . you could be halfway to anywhere you would like , and the law abiding ones will be pursuing the most confusing distractions . sam : yes ! i love you , spinelli . ah ! thank you ! spinelli : i 'm fond of you as well . sam : ok , now we just have to figure out where we want to go . to keep in balance after 50 , steve : more staff are on their way to take over some of the load , but i just wanted you all to know how impressed i am with how you 've handled this crisis . robin : well , the situation wo n't really be handled until elizabeth 's baby is found . steve : i agree . lisa : well , i 'm sure that steve is doing the best job that he can . patrick : does that mean the patients ' families can go home ? lucky : no , no one 's leaving . arrivals will be cleared by police and hospital security at the doors . steve : and in the meantime , while you all are doing your own job , please , please keep your eyes open for anything that seems off . sooner baby cassadine 's found , the sooner we can return to normal . man on p.a . : dr. rodriguez , call pediatrics . dr. lucia rodriguez , call pediatrics . robin : poor steve . his own nephew . patrick : well , he 's holding up pretty well . robin : i think steve 's the kind of guy , the more upset he is , the better he hides it . i ca n't imagine how elizabeth and nikolas must feel right now . patrick : no , a newborn baby , a preemie , it 's a parent 's worst nightmare . i -- robin : i called . emma 's ok . patrick : so did i . robin : judy told me that you sang her the happy puppy song ? patrick : she was n't supposed to tell you that . robin : well , you ca n't keep secrets from me . of course , i pretended i knew exactly what she was talking about . oh , yeah , the happy puppy song . but why you have not sang it to me ? patrick : it 's a song that we made up because she was missing you , and i wanted to make her feel better . robin : you 're such a good dad , and a wonderful husband . do you know how blessed we are ? patrick : you show me every day . robin : when i was sitting with my uncle mac , i realized how close i was to losing him . it just makes me so grateful for everything i have , and i really , i do n't tell you enough how much you mean to me and how much i depend on you . i love you so much . patrick : i love you , too . desk nurse : hmm , sorry . dr. drake . patrick : hmm ? desk nurse : you 've been paged to 305 . patrick : ok , thank you . duty calls . i 'll see you later . robin : ok . steve : just between us , are n't the first few hours a child goes missing the most critical ? lucky : usually , yeah . steve : so it 's already been too long . lucky : if i could just figure out what franco wanted with the baby , i might be able to find aiden . i mean , he had to have given his accomplise instructions . steve : like what to do in case of his death . lucky : yeah . that would be nice . you know , franco had a way of hiding in plain sight . you know what , i may have just answered my own question . dante : oh , he 's still here . ronnie : yeah . you know , according to jason morgan 's ankle monitor , he 's at home . but you 're here . which gives him another opportunity to escape . dante : yeah , you know what , the only place jason morgan is going is back to prison when i take him there at 5 : 00 p.m. today . ronnie : you know , it occurs to me that maybe you want jason morgan to run . dante : [ chuckles ] you know , i 'm curious . what possible motive would i have in assisting jason 's escape when my badge is on the line ? ronnie : ok , well , here it goes . jason is sonny 's enforcer , and he 's useless in prison , right . so if he escapes , he could set up shop on some tropical island and run the business offshore . and then that keeps your daddy untouchable . and by the way , i think your daddy would be really grateful to his firstborn for helping out with that . dante : wow . you know , i 'm pretty much done with all your digs about how easy i 'm going on sonny . ronnie : godfather shoots a cop point blank in the chest . now , said cop does n't press charges . you would have questions , too . dante : you know what , i think it 's time for you to leave . i 'll deal with jason . ronnie : you know , what a shame , you know . the lines start to blur , you start making excuses , and you think that just once you could turn your head and look the other way . but that is when you lose your moral compass . or , you know , maybe when somebody else 's son dies because of corinthos , maybe you 'll remember that . dante : so , how about some breakfast ? lulu : are you asking me to make it or to eat it ? dante : no , i 'll cook . you just stay there looking gorgeous , right there . lulu : what if he 's right ? what if jason tries to escape ? spinelli : passports , drivers licenses for 3 different states , and social security cards . sam : you 're kidding me , these are perfect , spinelli . spinelli : i would recommend that you drive to jfk , and then fly to one of the 5 locations that i 've selected . oh , here are your confirmations . sam : let 's see . what about money ? spinelli : well , my recent venture into post - maximista bachelorhood has left me plenty of time to focus on stone cold 's business affairs , particularly his offshore portfolio . so my arrangements have provided you the means to be financially free . i also had the good sense to select locations that have warmer winters and less humid summers -- sam : that 's so awesome . i ca n't thank you enough , really . ok , well , what about you ? what are you going to do ? spinelli : i will remain here , in my regrettably pink room . i will do my best to find a worthy partner for mccall and jackal p.i . , though no one could ever replace you , of course . nor stone cold , for that matter . um ... but i will soldier on . and maybe someday make the journey to join you . but in the meantime , we must make haste . i will fetch the tool necessary to disable the apparatus . jason : no . i appreciate everything you did . but i 'm not going to run . [ sighs ] jason : we ca n't leave . sam : why not ? jason : because we can't . you have to leave your sisters , your mom , your life . i 'd have to leave carly and her kids , especially michael right now at this point . and , you know , spinelli , the cops would be all over you if we leave for who knows how long . spinelli : stone cold , you are constantly sacrificing for those you value . why can i do the honorable thing and help -- sam : because jason would never let you suffer while he 's free , that 's why . jason : 'cause i made a choice , and i need to live with it . sam : spinelli , can you please give us a moment ? thank you . [ door closes ] sam : i have backed you up on everything so far , including you going to prison to protect michael . you have a chance at freedom , and you 're turning it down ? i 'm sorry , jason , i ca n't back you up on this . michael : the dreams will stop . the dreams will stop . or at least they 'll fade . but hey , until then , you 've got me , ok ? i do n't care if it 's the middle of the night . you call me and we 'll talk for as long as you need . kristina : i love you , michael . michael : i love you , too . carly : oh , i hope i 'm not interrupting . kristina : oh , it 's just me having a moment . michael : you 're allowed . carly : i think we 're all allowed . i called home . morgan and josslyn are fine . mercedes is taking good care of them . michael : good . kristina : i think i 'm going to sneak back over to ethan 's room . a lot has happened to him because of me , and the least i can do is keep him company . carly : how is she really ? michael : messed up . i told her to give it time . carly : michael ... [ cell phone rings ] michael : hmm ? carly : it 's the hotel . thought it might have been jax , you know , calling to check in or something . michael : mom , i 'm sure he would call if he knew what was happening . carly : yeah , he 's obviously too busy to check his messages . guess that 's what being separated is all about , right ? michael : what , you just stop caring ? carly : i can't . i 've tried . i love jax , you know . and i hate the idea of him moving on . johnny : thank you . brook lynn : you 're very welcome . ok , so i 'm still having trouble understanding how 2 people can see someone so differently . let 's take sonny , right ? he 's my godfather , and he has always been good , always been good to me . but then my father could n't stand him , and my mom , she was very close with him , their whole lives . johnny : wow . you know , you sound like that whole legion of sonny fans that 's got a million and one reasons why i 'm wrong and sonny 's deserving a sainthood . brook lynn : really ? johnny : mm - hmm . brook lynn : now , i would n't go that far . johnny : well , but you 're saying he 's a good guy , right ? that he 's good to his kids , he gives money to the hospital , he 's got a big heart . does n't drown puppies . brook lynn : did i say that ? no . what i was going to say is that this is your game with sonny . it 's all you . and you can feel however you want to feel and you can do the things you want to do , but that does n't mean i have to agree with you . the truth is , i should n't even care . johnny : why do you ? brook lynn : i trust my instincts . and i feel like , if you 're going to be so passionate and stubborn , then there 's got ta be more to it . johnny : then why give me the benefit of the doubt ? brook lynn : oh , ok , so are you saying i should n't ? patrick : ahh . um , i 'm gon na have to come back with a nurse . there 's no chart out here , and we 're a little bit out of the ordinary right now . lisa : you 've been working too hard , doctor , so let me help you relax . patrick : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? lisa : ok , so you do n't want your wife to know that we are involved . all right , that 's fine . so we can just -- we can meet and we can have sex whenever we want . this can be our little secret . patrick : don't . stop it . lisa : ok , it 's what we both want . and you know that i can be discreet . patrick : look at me . you need to stop what you 're doing . lisa : or what ? lisa : do n't worry , sweet robin does n't need to know . patrick : stop it , enough . lisa : oh , you 're in danger of becoming a very dull boy . patrick : you know what , i 've tried to be nice . but for god sake , have some self respect . lisa : ok , you do n't use me and then throw me away . patrick : if that 's what it takes to get through to you , that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . lisa : ok , you do n't do what we did , and then you turn around and act like i mean nothing to you . steve : hey , hey , if you need help , you should call a nurse ! elizabeth : is a nurse going to help me find my baby ? steve : lizzie , you have lucky and nikolas combing this place from top to bottom with a whole bunch of cops . and the staff has been alerted -- elizabeth : oh , the staff . it 's a little late for that , is n't it ? come on , you 're the chief of staff . do n't you take any responsibility for what 's happened in this hospital ? steve : i know you 're freaking out , but i do n't -- elizabeth : you tell me , you tell me which one of your big plans made it ok for a baby to be stolen . how someone who probably is n't even a nurse had access to the babies . is n't the nursery supposed to be the safest place ? steve : i know sorry is n't enough . but i swear , we 'll do a thorough evaluation -- elizabeth : he 's gone . steven , my son is missing and it 's all your fault . nikolas : lucky , i got your page , what ? lucky : nursery staff inventoried all the monitors . aiden 's was n't among them , so -- nikolas : ... had access to the equipment to do it with . lucky : yeah , i mean , it was probably here the whole time . i do n't know how we missed it . franco 's plant could have taken him out of the hospital before the lockdown even began . ok , ok . dante : this is a really bad idea . brook lynn : why is that ? johnny : is there something wrong , officer ? is it suddenly against the law to have breakfast in the company of a pretty lady ? dante : no . i mean , hey , the upside to whatever this is is i can tell my mother you 've moved on , which is great . but for the future , maybe you should consider brook off - limits . johnny : wow . since when did that become your call ? sam : you ca n't just expect me to just step aside and let you go back to prison . i love you . jason : i love you , too . i know it 's going to be tough , but i 'm going to do my time , and i might even get out early . sam : get out early ? i 'm sorry for being a realist , jason . you may serve 2 to 5 years , but considering how many people want you dead , i really do n't see that happening . jason : look , i can take care of myself -- sam : i know ! i know you can , and that is the problem here . what happens when you kill somebody because you have to defend yourself ? then that 5 years turns into a life sentence . i 'm sorry , the only thing that looks like an idea of a possibility of spending a life with you is doing what spinelli says -- jason : look , sam , i -- sam : i know , jason , i know . our families . we 'd be leaving everybody , everybody that we love . i want a life with you . and i thought you wanted one with me , too . jason : i do want a life -- sam : ok , so then let 's go . please . jason , i am begging you , please . leave with me , now . leave and never look back .Summarize.[/INST]robin and patrick talk about matt 's brilliance in the operating room . lisa drinks from patrick 's cup of coffee . patrick makes it clear that he is n't interested in lisa . nikolas and elizabeth are panicking over aiden 's absence . nikolas wants to offer a reward but lucky thinks it 's a bad idea . steven wants to lift the lockdown . steven addresses the hospital staff . robin is worried about nikolas and elizabeth . lisa sees robin and patrick kissing . lucky discovers aiden 's ankle monitor . lucky assumes that jane morgan left the hospital before the lockdown . elizabeth blames steven for allowing aiden to be kidnapped . jason and dante return to the penthouse . dante agrees to let sam spend time with jason before heading back to pentonville . jason tells sam about franco 's art exhibit . sam ca n't believe that franco is dead . spinelli announces that jason 's ankle monitor can be disabled . sam is ecstatic that she and jason can go on the run . jason refuses to leave port charles . sam wo n't support jason 's decision to return to pentonville . dante heads back home where he finds lulu in bed . after lulu and dante make love , ronnie barges in the loft . ronnie is furious that jason is n't back in prison . michael has a nightmare about carter . carly confides to michael about the time she spent in a psych ward . kristina tells michael that she has been experiencing nightmares too . carly is debating whether or not she should be with jax . mike refuses to serve johnny at the diner . johnny and brook lynn go over the reasons why he hates sonny . johnny leans in to kiss brook lynn but dante interrupts . dante tells johnny that brook lynn is `` off - limits `` . lisa slaps patrick when he refuses to have sex with her .</s> | 11,121 |

[ sighs ] i ca n't . i ca n't . wyatt : [ groans ] okay . do it for the diamond . hope : [ laughs ] wyatt : do it for ricardo montemayor , may he rest in peace . hope : you are guilting me . you 're guilting me into it ! wyatt : yes , i am . i am . hope : you 're the worst . wyatt : i am terrible . hope : you are awful . you need to take this , i know . liam : hey . hope : hey . hi , babe . liam : how 's it going ? what are you guys -- what are you working on ? wyatt : uh ... aly : hope 's a good person . she has very strong morals . ivy : yeah , i 'm sure she does . aly : i mean , look at what she stands for . the hope for the future message -- it 's all about honesty and decency , respecting yourself , and staying true to who you are . no one does that better than hope . ivy : mm - hmm . aly : what ? you do n't agree ? ivy : no , i agree with the message . i think that 's great . but i think you 're maybe idealizing hope a little bit too much . aly : why ? ivy : i just -- i do n't think she 's living up to her own message . aly : what do you mean ? ivy : i 'm gon na show you something . i did n't mean to record any of it . i was just shooting that video for my mum . liam : ivy 's making this video for her `` mum , `` and i just made a brief appearance . wyatt : what 'd you do ? a little juggling , a little soft shoe ? liam : with this leg ? are you kidding me ? i said hi . all the talent i have to offer . has she gotten to you two yet ? wyatt : nope . i have managed to dodge that project thus far . liam : yeah . be warned -- she 's gon na get you on tape . by the way , apparently her mom -- huge fan of the three of us . she 's a big tabloid reader . hope : oh , god . wyatt : so i wonder who she 's rooting for -- you or moi ? hope : well , i think she 'll be sad to hear that there really is no more gossip because i 'm with liam . wyatt : yep . and i -- i 'm -- you know , i 'm all alone . liam : hey , buck up , little camper . you will always have your jewelry . ridge : brooke , why are you still wearing that ring ? take it off and kick him out . bill : how about you let her think for herself . ridge : we do n't want you here . i do n't want you near my son . bill : you think i 'd ever do anything to harm r.j. ? ridge : i do n't know where you draw the line . bill : oh , come on . brooke , i would give my life to protect r.j. and you . katie : well , you did n't have any problem putting r.j. 's father 's life in danger . bill : if i could go back and do things differently , i would . brooke : it 's too late , bill . you ca n't take it back . ridge : you heard her -- pack up and go . bill : i 'll go when brooke tells me to . i made the wrong move , but i flew halfway around the world to avoid something like this . brooke : you 're not blaming this on ridge . bill : no . but i 'm not saying that he 's devoid of blame , either . you knew who you were dealing with . you knew there 'd be payback . the difference is , i reacted spontaneously . it was on impulse . you planned the whole thing out . you flew to abu dhabi , you hunted us down , broke up the wedding , dragged brooke onto a helicopter against her will . yeah . i screwed up . but you ? you ai n't exactly squeaky clean , either , pal , including what you did today . ridge : i 'm sorry for interrupting . i ca n't listen to this stuff anymore . no one wants you here . go . get out . i do n't want you near my son . brooke does n't want you here . tell him -- tell him it 's over .Summarize.[/INST]bill tells brooke that he screwed up . he should have been honest with her . he 's embarrassed to say he was scared . he never meant to hurt ridge . he never meant it to go this far . ridge says he means he never thought he 'd get caught . bill says ridge needed to be taught a lesson . he reacted impulsively . he tells brooke he is sorry and promises her that nothing like this will ever happen again . he wants her to say something . she asks why did he have to do this ? he says he had to punish ridge for taking her away . he wanted him to pay . she says ridge could have been killed and all bill was thinking about was himself . he almost killed r.j. 's father . he argues that she knows he would never intentionally hurt the father of her son . ridge says those are just empty , meaningless words . brooke can not trust him , she can not forgive him and she certainly can not marry him . ivy is outside on the rooftop still taking video on her phone . she comes across hope and wyatt just as hope hugs wyatt for showing her the diamond . ivy quickly puts it away and goes back inside . hope tells wyatt that she does n't know what to say . she says she is sorry . she just got carried away . he says it was just a hug ; they did n't break any rules . she ca n't believe ricardo left him the diamond and it 's really his . he says no , it 's hers now to keep forever . she keeps looking and gushing at it but says it is too much . he says the diamond belongs with her . it 's meant for her . it 's supposed to be in their lives . it 's worked wonders for them before and he thinks it will do it again . she says she would not feel right accepting this as ricardo gave it to him . he says because he trusted that he 'd know what to do with it . she reminds him that she is with liam now . he says he knows and he is not naive enough to think this will change anything . he just thinks it feels right and as far as he is concerned it has always belonged to her . he ca n't keep it and wear it , just not his style . they laugh about him giving it the justice that it deserves and he says only she can do that . aly tells liam that she admires his confidence . most guys would not want their girlfriend to work with their ex boyfriend . ivy slips in and hears this . liam says yeah well he and wyatt have a new understanding and he 's turned over a new leaf and is starting to respect liam 's relationship with her . aly says liam may trust wyatt but she thinks he is more like his dad than he realizes . liam says sure he will always be a little wary of wyatt but it was quinn who caused the damage and wyatt actually defended him . ivy asks if he is okay with him now . liam says yeah , he does not think he will be a problem with his and hope 's relationship . and he trusts her so he is okay with their working relationship . liam leaves and aly tells ivy that they have to find her a boyfriend . ivy says she will be busy and have no time to date . but she understands oliver is pretty nice . aly says yes tho they went through a rough patch lately but they worked it out . aly tells ivy it 's good to have someone around her own age . hope is cool but always so busy . ivy says she has n't had much chance to get to know her either .. but very pretty and every bit a logan . she 's learned from the master ; the great brooke logan . aly says hope and brooke are very different . ivy ca n't be sure , but it must be nice having two guys fighting over you like liam and wyatt unless she is planning to torture them just like brooke did with aly 's dad and uncle ridge and eric . there is appropriate behavior and then there is brooke 's behavior . aly assures her that hope is not like that . hope is a good person . just look at what her hftf message says about being honest and decent and staying true to yourself . no one does that better than hope . ivy says she does believe in the message but she thinks maybe aly is idealizing hope a little too much . she 's not sure she is living up to her own message . aly wonders why she said that . ivy says she has something to show her . she shows her the video and says she did not mean to take it . bill tells brooke that he was really scared but he had to come clean and he wanted her to hear it from him . dumping ridge in the water was the only way he could fight back ; the only way he could get brooke back . she wonders what he would have done if ridge had n't been found ; what bill would have done then . she knows when someone crosses him that he strikes back .hard and he does n't care about the consequences . and that scares her . he says he deeply regrets what he has done . katie laughs and says she wishes she could count the times that he had said that he would never do something again . she has spent years of hr life listening to his lies and manipulations and she does not want that for brooke .</s> | 4,952 |

[ scene_break ] ashley : thank you . tucker : so if everything goes as planned , the judge will overturn the sale . ashley : but , honey , on what grounds ? what 's your strategy ? tucker : my strategy ? ashley : yes , of course -- your strategy . the judge ruled that you were competent when you signed the agreement to sell jabot to katherine , so if he 's gon na reverse his decision , you must have something very compelling up your sleeve . tucker : well , the lawyers are on top of it . i want to let them handle it . ashley : okay . but once you do get jabot back , how do you feel about ... appointing me c.e.o . ? tucker : ( laughs ) c.e.o . ? ashley : yeah . tucker : well , what happens to jack then ? ashley : oh , i guess if i have to , i 'll share the position with him like i did before . tucker : ( sighs ) ashley : what ? you do n't think jack 's gon na welcome me back ? tucker : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] john : well , katherine 's always been fair to you . jack : katherine 's the boss . katherine has a final say , which she seems to want to remind me of on a daily basis . it 's demeaning . how long did we have jabot ? how much of our blood , sweat , and tears did we pour into it ? you know what jabot is now , dad ? the company you founded is little more than a weapon katherine and tucker can use against each other . john : and that makes you angry ? jack : it makes me furious ! and it 's gon na stop now . john : well , how can you make that happen without being underhanded with katherine ? jack : i ca n't . i ca n't . if that 's despicable of me , so be it . i 'll have to live with that . john : well , now we 've had this discussion very often in the past about you wanting to get jabot back . but things are different now , jack . you 've changed . jack : i have changed , dad . this is different . i 'm no longer obsessed . you broke that spell . i want jabot back in our family for one reason -- i realized what i want to accomplish in my own right . john : oh , so that 's , uh , why you conjured me up here , huh ? for me to give you my blessings . to say it 's okay to double - cross katherine as a means to the greater end because , after all , this is just business . is that what you were hoping i would say to you ? jack : yeah . yeah , i know you 're not gon na say it . you have too much integrity . john : well , now do n't be so sure . jack : what ? john : you see , son , sometimes it is just business . even katherine , as dearly as i love her , she 's had to fall back on that herself when it 's expedient . look how she 's treating her son , claiming that what she 's doing is best for his company . do i approve of that ? hell , no ! a part of me is very disappointed in katherine . jack : but disappointed enough that you 're okay with what i 'm about to do ? john : well , your saintly father , may he rest in peace , wants to remind you of an important truth -- if something 's worth doing , and it 's worth doing right . now if you 're going to compromise your delicate sense of ethics and risk a long - standing friendship to get jabot back , do n't do it half - assed . i mean , you 'll never be happy in the long run .

[ coughs ] i 'm alive ? john : well , i guess you could look at it that way . marlena : huh . i guess she -- i guess she does owe me . now that i 'm awake , can we end this ? john : not exactly . marlena : that does n't sound good . john : well ... you know , when we ... first brought hattie to the hospital , she agreed to help out because she felt guilty about stealing your life and getting you locked away in the sanitarium and ... marlena : and now ? john : come on , doc , you know hattie . she 's always working an angle . once she realized that she was the only thing keeping you alive , she started making all these demands . marlena : what is she demanding ? kristen : i knew coming here was taking a risk . but it 's worth it . i love you . and i want us to be together . brady : mm - hmm . hey . do n't do that . kristen : you pushed me away because you said you were in love with eve . and i saw the two of you at the hospital arguing . now , i know you blame her for costing you tate . brady : hey , that 's none of your business . i do n't want you to talk about that . kristen : yeah , you know ... i knew she would let you down , and i was right . you can do so much better . stefan : [ clears throat ] gabi : did i just hear my name ? stefan : you most certainly did . i was dictating a text wondering where you were . do you have the new sales figures on gabi chic ? gabi : i do . i do . we are on track to do great for the fourth quarter , and we have growth in retail and online shopping . stefan : good to hear . gabi : yeah , i was also thinking about expanding in some areas . i was approached by a designer for a maternity line . stefan : maternity ? gabi : yeah , so i was thinking something really fashion - forward , something that a woman like abigail would wear . stefan : well , she has good taste . gabi : yeah , yeah , she does , and it 's also really hard to find stylish clothes when you 're pregnant , especially when you 're showing so much like she is . stefan : she most certainly is . gabi : you 've seen her ? stefan : mm - hmm , just last night . gabi : stefan , you really need to stay away from her , okay , because i do not need you harassing abigail . stefan : i 'm not harassing her . she invited me over . gabi : why would she do that ? she wants absolutely nothing to do with you until after the baby 's born . so what changed ? jj : did stefan respond to the text ? abigail : he came right over . jj : and what did you say ? abigail : oh , i told him that the text is meant for you , but i do n't know if he believed me . jj : you have no memory of sending it ? abigail : no , because i did n't send it . jj : i thought ... grandma laura helped you with this -- integrating your alters . abigail : yeah , i mean , i did too , but i do n't know . what if i 'm relapsing ? jj : well , do n't -- do n't get ahead of yourself , okay . it 's just , uh ... just one text . abigail : no , it 's more than that , and you know it . i finally got control of my life back , jj . i ca n't just let my alters ruin it for me , especially now chad 's finally putting forth some effort to try to make this work . jj : yeah . i know how hard it 's been for him to accept this baby , and maybe if you just talk to him about -- abigail : mm - mm , no , i can't . if chad thought that the alters were coming back ... [ door shuts ] you know , i do n't know if chad could handle that . chad : handle what ? [ tense music ] abigail : oh , i was just saying the sandwiches that i ordered i think have mustard on 'em , which i know you hate , so -- but i was wrong . chad : whoa , you do n't think that can handle mustard ? abigail : it 's an overreaction , i know , but i just want everything to be perfect . jj : yeah , she 's putting a lot of pressure on herself . chad : well , why ? it 's just a picnic . do n't put too much pressure on it . where 's the little guy ? abigail : oh , he 's upstairs watching a video . i 'll go get him . chad : no , no , no , no , i want to surprise him . jj : that 's a great idea . yeah , he 'll love that . abigail : okay , sure . yeah . i 'll put stuff in the cooler . can you just grab his jacket ? [ laughs ] [ sighs ] jj : if you think your alters are coming out ... do you think it 's risky for you to spend time with chad ? abigail : yeah . if gabby resurfaces , she 's gon na do anything to sabotage my relationship with chad so she can be with stefan . i ca n't let that happen . stefan : [ clears throat ] gabi : well , why would abigail invite you over ? she has no interest in seeing you . stefan : i was as surprised as you to get her text . gabi : what ? stefan : yo . gabi : `` i need you . `` what is ... this makes no sense . no , she 's doing everything that she can to fix her marriage . unless ... do you think that maybe she did n't send this text ? stefan : now , that is an interesting theory . gabi : you know , earlier when i walked in , you were n't talking about me . no , no , you were talking about abigail 's alter gabby with a y . you think she 's back , do n't you ? brady : i 'm not talking about eve with you . kristen : i can see how much she hurt you . you do n't deserve that . just like you did n't deserve it when theresa left you or when nicole chose eric . brady : did you not hear what i said ? i do n't want to talk about this with you . kristen : they took you for granted -- all of them . you loved them . you gave them your heart and soul . and where did it get you ? brady , look at me . where did it get you ? it 's not too late . you can just put eve behind you . brady : mm . kristen : just put her behind you . brady : [ stammers ] kristen : shh . put her behind you , and you can be with someone who truly loves you the way you deserve to be loved . brady : kristen . this is crazy . why are we even having this conversation ? i should call the cops right now . that 's what i should do . kristen : i ca n't stop you if that 's what you want to do . but just know that you 'll be missing out on the chance to be with a woman who will appreciate you , will put you first , and never leave you . do n't you want that ? do n't you want to be happy ? sami : no , come on . hattie as marlena : please , you need to leave . i 'm not feeling very well . sami : what ? no , you are not -- i 'm not going anywhere until you show me that scar , mom . stop being ridiculous . kayla : what 's going on here ? sami : oh , kayla , thank god you 're here . hattie as marlena : she 's lost her mind . she 's lost her marbles . she thinks i 'm somebody else . kayla : what do you mean somebody else ? hattie as marlena : i do n't know ; it 's just nonsense . it 's nonsense . i mean , just tell her . she 's crazy as a loon . kayla : of course she 's marlena . i was in during her surgery . in fact , i 'm here right now to examine her , so if you would n't mind . sami : no , i do mind . in fact , i think you should examine her , and i wan na see what you find . kayla : but i would rather do it in private , so if you do n't mind . sami : look , aunt kayla , i 'm not going anywhere until i see what 's underneath that gown . hattie as marlena : [ gasps ] get out of here , you little pervert . sami : okay , you know what ? kayla : sami ! sami , wait ! sami : i 'm gon na cut that gown off of her myself ! kayla : sami , stop ! sami ! hattie as marlena : i 'm not your mother ! kayla : stop ! marlena : what does hattie want from me ? john : [ laughs ] well , it ...

well , you 're gon na be waiting a long , long time . kristen : do n't you see ? when your family finds out what you did , they 're gon na side with eric against you . brady : what i did has nothing to do with them . kristen : people judge ! and then they make you feel like a terrible person because they do n't understand you . but i do . i will never judge you going after what you want . i respect what you did . i am the only one you can count on , brady . only one that will never ever leave you . brady : eric already found out what happened with nicole . kristen : and how did that go ? brady : he turned his back on me . like you said . told me that he is no longer my brother . that 's what he said . kristen : and how do you think the rest of your family will be ? do you think they 'll be any different ? brady : kristen , i do n't -- what i do know is that i have made a mess of my life . my brother hates me . eve and i are over . i 've lost my company . i 've lost my son . and i 'm not sure what i have left . kristen : you have me . you have me . and i am the one person ... who will always love you . please . please just give me another chance . let me prove to you that i can make you happy . please . john : doc , i -- i ca n't even deal with hattie right now , okay ?

gabi : i guess , um ... well , i just thought maybe that she was consulting a psychiatrist . your mornings were made for better things chad : you think abby would be seeing a shrink again ? i mean , why ? is she ... she having problems ? gabi : i 'm sure you 've noticed it . she 's been struggling . chad : with the ... dissociative disorder . i mean , her grandmother said that -- assured us and the courts that ... her alters had integrated and that she 's -- gabi : i 'm sure it 's just a checkup to make sure that she does n't have a setback . chad : a relapse . gabi : yeah , i mean , i know she 's carrying stefan 's baby , but ... those alters , they 're in the past , right ?

[ scene_break ] blair : well , cris and sarah took off from capricorn , but i was expecting them back tonight . john : yeah , bo said it 's a priority case . i 've got to get on a plane . so if you do n't hear from me for a couple of days , that 's why . blair : well , finding cris is the most important thing . i really appreciate you coming all the way over here to tell me . that 's very sweet of you . you surprise me a little bit more every day . john : in a good way ? blair : in a very good way . [ scene_break ] clint : we have to keep this short and sweet because i do n't want anybody to see us together except nigel . ray : yeah , your guest house , it is very nice but it is also , uh , lonely . clint : well , do n't feel lonely . there 's a guard watching you 24 hours a day . but i want you to concentrate on establishing this relationship with your niece , langston . ray : that will not be a problem . she and i are already simpatico . clint : that 's good to hear . ray : mm . it is interesting . when i look at her , i see my sister when she was young . they are very much alike . clint : i want you to keep reminding her of that , all right ? ray : uh , you know that woman ? the one who wants to adopt her ? clint : dorian lord . ray : that woman is trouble . clint : major trouble , yes , but today trouble pays up . today , we go in for the kill . [ scene_break ] dorian : all right , am i on speaker phone ? and you 're all there , right ? jerry , steve , randi ? [ dorian chuckles ] dorian : good . my adoption of langston wilde , i want you to expedite it . i 'm -- excuse me , but the family court calendar is your problem . make it a priority . this is urgent . good . oh , wait , secondly , but importantly , i want you to dig up every gory detail you can about someone named ray montez . m - o - n- t - e - z . right , colombia . he says he 's langston 's uncle . dorian : get on that right away . thank you . okay , what were you doing outside ? langston : writing in my journal . dorian : should n't you be on your way to school ? langston : should you be in here ordering your goons to attack my uncle ? dorian : they are n't goons . they 're my lawyers . langston : i rest my case . dorian : i am just being cautious . i want to protect you . langston : protect me from what ? dorian : well , does n't the arrival of your uncle seem rather fortuitous ? langston : coincidences do happen . i mean , maybe there was just something out there in the universe , you know ? dorian : i see . and what could there possibly be out there in the universe that would suddenly impel your uncle to show up here ? ka - ching , ka - ching . langston : well , no , i 've been wondering about having family out there and you saw the letters that i wrote . dorian : and was one of them addressed to a ray montez ? langston : no , but him showing up right after you asked to adopt me kind of all fits together . and delphina said that i 'm not alone , and i am not , not by any means . it 's like synchronicity . dorian : right . you know , i am a student of human behavior . and your uncle showing up just as you are about to be adopted by a rather wealthy woman does not seem fortuitous to me . no , it seems disturbing , highly disturbing to me . [ scene_break ] ray : dorian lord is , uh , is like a , uh , como se dice -- um , a spring that is wound up too tight . clint : close enough . ray : uh , i am very polite , but she does n't like me . clint : that 's because she 's very possessive of langston and she sees you as a threat , which of course , is part of our plan . that 's what we wanted . ray : the moment i walk in , like a hatred , i feel it . clint : well , that shows our plan is working . ray : that -- that is a woman who will not intimidate to me . clint : good , good , now we must pit dorian 's affection for this girl against her desire to mess with my family 's business . ray , one thing , i do n't want you to underestimate dorian . she has her faults , but no one can question her loyalty to family , especially the female members . dorian is smart , she 's powerful . ray : i have conquered worse adversarios , mr. buchanan , male and female . clint : good . now , you should know that i 'm sure she 's already looking into your past . oh , god , somebody 's here . you know what to do with langston now , right ?

[ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] come on , you need to eat something . jared : what is it ? tess : it 's , uh , eggs . maybe you can just have a bite of toast or something . did you sleep last night ? jared : i was online all night , and on the phone calling airlines , train stations , car rental agencies . tess : no luck , huh ? jared : no , it 's like she vanished off the face of the earth . it makes no sense . tess : or maybe it does . jared : what do you mean ? tess : well , you know , natalie 's clever . you know that , and she 's street smart , too . jared : so ? [ tess sighs ] tess : jared , i do n't want to be hurtful , but maybe you should take a hint . jared : do n't start . tess : no , i 'm doing this for you , jared . i mean , if there 's no trace of natalie , i believe that 's how she wanted it to be . and she knew you were going to go and try and find her , she just did n't want to be found . [ jared scoffs ] [ scene_break ] natalie : damn you , tess !

'cause it is really scary admitting that what you just said to me does n't scare me off . it 's gon na take a lot more than steffy coming back , a woman who has proven time and time again that she does n't respect you , to make me give up on the idea of us . i believe that we have a foundation to have a wonderful life together . i really believe that . i do . and i think you do , as well , deep down , underneath all of this steffy confusion . ca n't you just give it a go ? i mean , who knows . maybe one day , i could start to feel like home , too . but should n't you at least try ? liam : yeah . let 's try . i do n't know what 's gon na happen . but let 's give this marriage a shot and see where it goes . let 's try . ivy : and steffy ? liam : you heard her . she 's out . she -- i do n't think she understands . ivy : hey . i do . i do understand . now you 've got me -- your wife . ivy : hey . i do n't want to pressure you . liam : you 're not . ivy : i know that a small part of you still wants to be with steffy and have a life with her . liam : yeah , well , you know , a part of me always will . you know what i 'm trying to teach myself ? is how to let go of what is n't meant to be . 'cause as hard as steffy and i try , whether it 's bad luck or bad timing , it just does n't -- it just does n't seem to work . and i do n't want my disappointment over that to blind me ... to you .

i mean , that is a boyfriend 's job , is n't it ? carly : yeah , he 's not my boyfriend anymore . sam : oh , yeah ? what did you do this time ? carly : i caught him sleeping with kate howard . jason : kate and johnny ? sonny : like i said . jason : but that does n't make any sense . sonny : you got that right . i would n't have believed it myself if i did n't see it with my own eyes . johnny : you saw them together ? sonny : i walked on them . but , you know what ? it probably would have happened eventually , because they 've been going at it for months . johnny : what do you mean months ? sonny : and then i defend her to you , which was -- jason : kate may have some problems with me , but she loves you . sonny : loves me ? ! she messed with my head , working overtime to get me to open up so she can pull the rug out from under me . jason : i do n't understand . what would she get from that ? sonny : maybe payback . hey , look . i almost did get her killed , right ? so maybe this is her way to hurt me . jason : payback is how it works in our world , not kate 's . sonny : what are you saying to me ? jason : something else is going on . judge lopez : you claim to have information relevant to today 's proceedings , mister -- spinelli : spinelli . damien spinelli , and , yes , i 'm in possession of most enlightening information . judge lopez : well , let 's hear it . maxie : because i am . spinelli : what if i 'm right ? what if matt -- maxie : what if matt killed lisa ? i know he did . i saw him do it . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , do you have information or not ? spinelli : i do . maxie is not guilty and therefore not a murderer . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , it would be unwise to waste the court 's time . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm not trying to cause any trouble . and none of this -- none of this is maxie 's fault . she had good reasons to do what she did . some people call her selfish . she often refers to herself in that same way , but -- nothing could be farther from the truth . she cares deeply for others , so much so that sometimes she makes decisions from her heart , even when it leads her astray . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , if you wanted to make a character statement -- spinelli : i 'm trying to tell the truth ! dr. niles and first officer briggs were killed by someone else . maxie : spinelli , come on . i 'm begging you . look , i can survive prison . but i can not survive knowing that i destroyed robin 's family , so please . please just promise me that you wo n't say anything . spinelli : maxie is intelligent , insightful , tenacious , and creative . she is loving and genuine and generous to a fault . the maxie i know could not kill anybody . and i hope you will take that into consideration when you pronounce your sentence . judge lopez : is that all ? spinelli : yes . regrettably , that is all . sonny : what do you mean something else is going on with kate ? jason : i 'm not sure , but after kate and i had that fight , i had spinelli do some searching . sonny : and i told you to stop . jason : right , i know . but he found something about kate and her psychiatrist , and i wanted to tell you , but you did n't want to hear it . sonny : i 'm sorry that i misplaced my loyalty . jason : i do n't need an apology , okay ? i do n't need that . i 'm just telling you kate 's psychiatrist was worried about her . what i did n't tell you was he was trying to have her committed . sonny : what are you talking about , commit -- like , to shadybrook ? jason : yes . sonny : she told me that he said to her that she 's fine , she does n't have to come back to him . so she 's lying about that like she 's lying about everything else . you know what ? i saw them . jason : okay -- sonny : i 'm the one that should be committed for believing she could love me and not being able to see what 's right in front of my face . sam : johnny slept with kate howard ? carly : yeah . yes . this is where you say , `` i told you so . `` sam : oh , i did n't say that . carly : everyone else did . sonny , michael , shawn -- hell , even jason did . they told me not to trust johnny . but i knew better . [ chuckles ] i knew the real johnny . i knew the kind and caring johnny . i knew the johnny who only lashed out because people hurt him . sam : is that what you said to them ? carly : that 's what i said to myself . i mean , johnny played me and i bought every word . sam : well , sometimes when someone tells you what you want to hear -- carly : johnny made sure that i saw him being noble . being misunderstood . [ chuckles ] i made it so easy for him to manipulate me . sam : are you sure that 's all it was . manipulation ? carly : johnny was only with me for one reason -- to provoke sonny . i should just be glad that it ended when it did , you know , before i fell in love with the man . [ sighs ] what ? sam : except you did fall in love with him . did n't you ? connie : are you telling me that carly would n't take you back ? johnny : nothing gets by you , does it ? connie : ah , so that 's why you 're here . you want me to make it all better , huh ? tell carly it was nothing but just a roll in the hay . johnny : you know , i 'd have you do just that if i thought it would do any good . connie : well , carly 's not gon na listen to a word i say and you know that , so what are you doing here ? johnny : i 'm here to talk -- to kate . connie : i 'm so sorry . kate 's not home right now . johnny : you know , last i checked , she was with keenan , on her way to get some help . connie : yeah , he was trying to get rid of connie , but i put the kibosh on kate 's plans . 'cause , you know , i got some plans of my own right now . johnny : keenan seemed pretty fixed to get her into shadybrook . he does n't strike me as a guy who would just give up . connie : yeah , you 're right . he 's very stubborn . but i found a way to persuade him . ewen : connie -- elizabeth : no , do n't get up . stay down . ewen : connie -- connie -- elizabeth : ewen , listen to me , okay ? ewen ? ewen , can you hear me ? [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : ewen ? oh . what happened ? elizabeth : his b.p . is dropping . he 's tachycartic . how long has he been out ? elizabeth : he was just talking to me . he was trying to tell me who did this to him . we have to get him stabilized . i have the chart right here . maggie : sorry to keep you waiting . i 'll be happy to write a letter for steve . heather : can i ask you for something else ? i 'm really not supposed to leave the house without steve 's supervision , and i do n't want to get him in any more trouble . maggie : that 's understandable . heather : would you mind seeing me home ? maggie : no . of course not . let me just grab my purse . heather : thanks , dear . maggie : yeah . so , all set ? heather : i am now . well , the good news is that his b.p . is coming back up , but we need to keep him quiet until he 's stable . elizabeth : yeah . of course . i think i have another way to find out what happened . olivia : elizabeth . oh , thank god i found you . steve 's been arrested . the cops came and they took him back to -- elizabeth : to memphis . i know . heather was here . olivia : heather ? ! elizabeth : she just left . olivia : [ sighs ] she 's not supposed to be out walking around without anyone . elizabeth : i know . i told her to go home , that that would be the best place to wait for news . olivia : for god 's sake , ca n't someone just send that woman back to ferncliff and be done with it all ? elizabeth : i could n't agree more . olivia : okay , okay . first things first . we got to put our heads together and figure out a way to get steve out of this mess . elizabeth : i have to finish something first . just meet me at the nurse 's station . olivia : okay . take your time . [ sighs ] heather : thank you for seeing me home . maggie : not a problem . i 'm sure steve would want to make sure you were safe . [ telephone rings ] maggie : all right , we 're all set here . heather : just a second . just a minute . hello ? olivia : heather ? you home ? heather : yeah , where else would i be ? olivia : uh , well , you came to the hospital and you 're not supposed to be out without any supervision . heather : i know . i was just so worried . have you heard anything about steven lars ? olivia : dante says they 're taking very good care of him as far as lockup goes , so that 's good . heather : that 's something to be thankful for . olivia : listen , i have to talk to elizabeth , and then i 'm gon na stop by . you gon na be all right for awhile ? heather : do n't worry . i have everything under control . maggie : what did you find out about steve ? heather : no news , i 'm afraid . he 's doing as well as can be expected . maggie : i 'm glad to hear that . i guess , then , i should be heading off to -- heather : oh , please . wait a minute . you and i got off on the wrong foot , and i 'd like to start over . maggie : that 's really not necessary . everything was absolutely -- heather : for steven lars ' sake , please ? i know how important you are to him . and do n't worry . i know what happened in memphis . i know about the patient , about what steven lars did and why he did it . maggie : i did n't ask him to . the girl i was treating , she went on to live a very productive life . heather : that 's wonderful . maggie : you really understand ? heather : of course i do , dear . i told you i want to get along . why do n't i make us a pot of tea ? maggie : yeah . okay . do you need any help with the kettle ? heather : you know , it 's such a warm day . why do n't we make it iced ? johnny : so you just got keenan to back off , huh ? connie : why ? you think i ca n't get a man to do what i want ? johnny : is this before or after kate talked to him ? connie : i heard kate did n't enjoy our little night together . johnny : i thought she was gon na cry rape and call the cops . connie : oh , so this is damage control . johnny , i told you , kate went bye - bye . and as far as i 'm concerned , it was just sex between two consenting adults . johnny : i 'm still not sure what i consented to . connie : success , johnny . we got sonny off your back and kate off of mine . johnny : by taking something that sonny thought was his . you know , i do n't know if you know this about him , but he 's not a great loser . and something tells me that he could probably convince himself to forgive kate . connie : did you see the look on his face when he caught us in between the sheets , johnny ? there ai n't nothing on this damn earth that 's ever gon na make sonny take kate back again . sonny : it just ca n't be fixed -- i 'm done . i 'm done with kate . jason : it sounds like her psychiatrist thinks it 's pretty serious . sonny : i knew something was wrong . over and over again , i 'd ask her . i 'd say , `` you know what ? let 's meet somewhere . `` she would not show up , she 'd get tense , she 'd get distracted , and , you know , she 'd get emotional out of nowhere . jason : maybe those were the signs -- sonny : i asked her over and over , `` just tell me the truth . `` and what does she do ? lie to me -- to my face . you know how that makes me feel ? jason : yeah , i do . sonny : okay , i do n't want to keep talking about this right now . how you doing ? what 's going on with you ? jason : you know , sam -- we 're just going through some things right now . sonny : what do you mean , `` things `` ? jason : we were talking about you , sonny , so i -- sonny : i 'm not gon na -- no , we 're not gon na down this -- you and sam , whatever it is , you got to handle it . you guys got to make it work . you got a kid coming . jason : the baby 's not mine . sam : you know what ? this is none of my business . carly : you 're right . it is none of your business . you know what ? i have feelings for johnny . maybe i even love johnny , okay ? sam : okay . stranger things have happened . carly : luke does n't think so . sam : luke ? carly : he thinks i only saw johnny as a good , decent man because i was trying to find a replacement for jax . not an insight that i would have come up with , but -- sam : what ? i mean , do you think luke is right ? carly : i do n't know . maybe . i -- [ sighs ] today 's our anniversary . sam : you and jax ? carly : we would have been married five years today . i mean , we have been married five years today because i never signed the divorce papers . sam : hard to put that final nail in the coffin . carly : except i was going to . that 's why i was going to johnny 's apartment . i was gon na tell johnny . and that 's when i walked in and i -- sonny : oh , god , carly . carly : you know , it was almost , um -- it was like -- it was almost like i imagined it , you know ? i walked in and i saw johnny -- this guy that -- and then kate . [ chuckles ] it was unreal . you 're the last person i should be having this conversation with . sam : no , look . carly , sometimes it 's easier to say things to the one person that you should n't . carly : why do i feel like we 're talking about you ? judge lopez : now that mr. spinelli has said his piece , we 'll move on to the sentencing of miss jones . accordance with new york law and the guidelines -- felicia : your honor , wait . i 'm sorry to interrupt . but i 've got something i need to say . judge lopez : and you are ? felicia : felicia jones . i 'm maxie 's mother . judge lopez : as i said , ms . jones , the time for character statements is passed . felicia : i understand , but i was n't here for a character statement . or to provide support . i was n't here to be her mother . the only example i set was how to run away . how to disappear when life got painful . maxie deserves so much more . she deserved my attention and my focus and my love . i do n't know why my daughter did this , but i do know that she 's not responsible . i am . and if you 're gon na send anyone to prison , it should be me and not my daughter . judge lopez : i understand your feelings , ms . jones , but i 'm afraid this court ca n't accommodate you . you did not kill anyone . your daughter did . and as such , miss jones will be sentenced for the crimes she committed . if anyone else has any statements ? then we shall proceed without interruption . judge lopez : miss jones , you have pled guilty to the murder of dr. lisa niles . while dr. niles ' history of violent behavior could mitigate your punishment , the court can not ignore your subsequent actions -- the murder of a third party , lauren briggs , and the forgery of a suicide note . despite the severity of your offences , the court has given due consideration to the testimonials , both written and verbal , submitted on your behalf . therefore , mariah maximilliana jones , for these aforementioned crimes , i hereby sentence you to a term of 20 years in pentonville penitentiary without the possibility of parole .

there is nothing they can use against him . jason returns the conversation to kate and suggests that johnny may have taken advantage of her while she was n't in her right mind . sonny reveals that kate 's psychiatrist called him last night , but he did n't answer . jason says sonny should call him back . sonny makes the call and leaves a voicemail message . olivia is concerned that kate is behaving in a way that she never would . she asks for the truth . johnny comes into kate 's office and says he thinks he has the answer . olivia berates him for getting steve in trouble . she says he is no better that the man he is trying to take down and that she hope he and kate both get what they deserve . olivia throws kate 's dollar at her , says she will never ask her for anything again , and storms out . kate wonders what johnny did to steve but johnny says it does n't matter . kate says he looks like he wants to undo it . johnny says he wishes he could undo that and what he did with her because he lost what matters most to him . johnny says he wants to talk to kate . he recalls that the last time he saw kate , dr keenan was trying to get her into shady brook . connie says she could n't allow them to get rid of her . connie says she heard that kate did n't enjoy their time together . johnny says he thought kate was going to call the police and say he raped her . she tells him to take pleasure in his success over sonny . he opines that sonny might forgive kate . connie thinks there is no way that sonny will ever forgive kate . she tells him she has to go because she is leaving town . he tells her that he ca n't let her leave because she is only half a person and not even the healthy half . he regrets taking advantage of kate . connie tells him that he is in the clear with kate , but if he does n't get out of her office , she will cry rape and stick to her charges . johnny leaves , and then kate leaves . | <s>[INST] [ cell phone ringing ] carly : [ sighs ] it 's carly . johnny : hey . you picked up . carly : you sound surprised . johnny : i tried you a million times . i thought you did n't want to talk to me anymore . carly : that 's where you 're wrong , johnny . there 's something want to say . go to hell . [ sighs ] sam : carly . carly : hello to you , too , sam . i need to see jason . sam : he 's not here . jason : did you burn something ? sonny : nothing important -- a lot of garbage . jason : michael and i were worried that you ditched your party . sonny : yeah , i 'm sorry that i had to put you guys through the trouble . jason : what happened ? did you fight with kate ? sonny : something like that . she slept with johnny zacchara . connie : what are you standing here for ? i gave you bus fare . olivia : you 're really kicking me to the curb ? connie : well , that 's enough to get you to the pier . then you can look out onto the water and figure out a way to solve your own problems . olivia : my cousin would never turn me away , and she would never insult me with this , so why do n't you tell me the truth . connie : the truth ? olivia : yes . what the hell is wrong with you ? johnny : oh , i think i can answer that one . ewen : connie . elizabeth : connie ? ewen : yeah . elizabeth : is that the person who did this to you ? ewen : yeah . elizabeth : okay . connie who ? ewen . connie who ? heather : dear ? you do n't look well . maggie : i 'm worried about steve . heather : a minute ago , you said he 'd be fine , that it was just a misunderstanding . maggie : it is . steve does n't deserve to be in jail . heather : no . my beloved steven lars definitely does n't deserve that . maggie : i just wish there was something i could do to help him . olivia : johnny knew about the incident in memphis . i do n't know how because the only other people who knew about it were steve , myself , and maggie . heather : maybe there is . judge lopez : miss jones , please rise . mariah maximilliana jones , i hereby sentence you -- spinelli : wait ! wait ! wait ! your honor , there 's something you should know . judge lopez : you again ? i thought i made it very clear that i would not tolerate anymore distractions . spinelli : yes , deepest apologies , but i must be allowed to speak . i have information that will change everything . maggie : i 'm sorry . what can i do to help steve ? heather : you could write a letter to the memphis police , telling them all the wonderful things my son 's done and all the lives he 's saved . maggie : a letter ? heather : a testimonial . i could do it , too . everybody could . i mean , everyone at this hospital must have something wonderful to say about my son . maggie : that 's probably true . heather : you do n't seem very excited about the idea . maggie : i 'm just not sure it 'll do much good . heather : look at how much steven lars ' support meant to me . he 's the reason i was released from ferncliff . now i have to make sure that my son goes free . maggie : steve is a dear friend , and of course i want to help him , but -- i have to check on dr. keenan 's labs . hey . i 'm prescribing propranolol for my patient in cubicle 3 . it 's a restricted med , okay ? the warning is on the label . just make sure that he understands to take only the indicated dose . i 'll tell him . make it clear , 'cause if he takes too many of these , then he 'll die . ewen : she -- elizabeth : is she one of your patients ? ewen : y - yes . elizabeth : is she the one that you were gon na check into shadybrook ? is she the person who did this to you ? ewen : her . yes . connie : look , johnny , this is n't a good time . why do n't i call you later ? olivia : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . do n't let her run you off like that . i 'd really like to know what is going on here . johnny : i see that you 're confused . see , your cousin , here , has -- connie : is leaving town , and i told him not to bother trying to stop me . look , johnny . what we had is over . olivia : so , kate told me the two of you guys are sleeping together . connie : well , the cat 's out of the bag now that sonny and carly know . johnny : we need to talk . olivia : wow . i really thought i knew you . both of you . johnny : sorry , olivia . i was never the guy you wanted me to be . olivia : you were and then you changed at some point . and your hatred and your bitterness snuffed out anything that was ever good about you . did you even think what you were doing to steve ? did you even care ? yeah , i know it was you that called the memphis police when your little blackmail crap did n't work . johnny : well , then , do yourself a favor and write him off like you did me . olivia : steve is a good man . and god knows how many lives he 's saved , how many lives he would save , except now he might spend the rest of his life in prison . johnny : i know a couple of guys who should be doing life terms in prison . olivia : okay , you want to take sonny down ! we all get it . i really never thought that you 'd be willing to take everyone down with him . how does that feel ? you 've compromised yourself to the point where you are worse than the man you set out to destroy . johnny : well , you should be glad , then , that you 're removed from the situation . olivia : i am . as far as i 'm concerned , i hope you both get exactly what you deserve . connie : well , wait . are you sure you 're not gon na need this ? olivia : oh , [ laughs ] believe me , honey . i will never ask you for anything again . connie : whew . what was she babbling about ? what did you do to dr. feelgood ? johnny : does n't matter . connie : well , it looks like you want to undo it . johnny : yeah , like i wish i could undo this . connie : undo us ? what happened with us ? come on , i -- i thought we had a really good time . johnny : [ chuckles ] not good enough . turns out i lost the thing that mattered to me most . carly : are you gon na tell me where jason is or do i have to guess ? sam : i do n't know . carly : great . i 'll wait . sam : i do n't know when he 's gon na be back , either . carly : oh , god . sonny 's probably drowning in work , sending jason off on all kinds of errands and -- what 's wrong with you ? you guys have some kind of a fight ? sam : you know , i 'm really not gon na talk about this -- especially with you . carly : why ? what 'd you do this time , sam ? sam : i have a really good idea , carly . why do n't you go ask johnny for help ? i mean , that is a boyfriend 's job , is n't it ? carly : yeah , he 's not my boyfriend anymore . sam : oh , yeah ? what did you do this time ? carly : i caught him sleeping with kate howard . jason : kate and johnny ? sonny : like i said . jason : but that does n't make any sense . sonny : you got that right . i would n't have believed it myself if i did n't see it with my own eyes . johnny : you saw them together ? sonny : i walked on them . but , you know what ? it probably would have happened eventually , because they 've been going at it for months . johnny : what do you mean months ? sonny : and then i defend her to you , which was -- jason : kate may have some problems with me , but she loves you . sonny : loves me ? ! she messed with my head , working overtime to get me to open up so she can pull the rug out from under me . jason : i do n't understand . what would she get from that ? sonny : maybe payback . hey , look . i almost did get her killed , right ? so maybe this is her way to hurt me . jason : payback is how it works in our world , not kate 's . sonny : what are you saying to me ? jason : something else is going on . judge lopez : you claim to have information relevant to today 's proceedings , mister -- spinelli : spinelli . damien spinelli , and , yes , i 'm in possession of most enlightening information . judge lopez : well , let 's hear it . maxie : because i am . spinelli : what if i 'm right ? what if matt -- maxie : what if matt killed lisa ? i know he did . i saw him do it . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , do you have information or not ? spinelli : i do . maxie is not guilty and therefore not a murderer . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , it would be unwise to waste the court 's time . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm not trying to cause any trouble . and none of this -- none of this is maxie 's fault . she had good reasons to do what she did . some people call her selfish . she often refers to herself in that same way , but -- nothing could be farther from the truth . she cares deeply for others , so much so that sometimes she makes decisions from her heart , even when it leads her astray . judge lopez : mr. spinelli , if you wanted to make a character statement -- spinelli : i 'm trying to tell the truth ! dr. niles and first officer briggs were killed by someone else . maxie : spinelli , come on . i 'm begging you . look , i can survive prison . but i can not survive knowing that i destroyed robin 's family , so please . please just promise me that you wo n't say anything . spinelli : maxie is intelligent , insightful , tenacious , and creative . she is loving and genuine and generous to a fault . the maxie i know could not kill anybody . and i hope you will take that into consideration when you pronounce your sentence . judge lopez : is that all ? spinelli : yes . regrettably , that is all . sonny : what do you mean something else is going on with kate ? jason : i 'm not sure , but after kate and i had that fight , i had spinelli do some searching . sonny : and i told you to stop . jason : right , i know . but he found something about kate and her psychiatrist , and i wanted to tell you , but you did n't want to hear it . sonny : i 'm sorry that i misplaced my loyalty . jason : i do n't need an apology , okay ? i do n't need that . i 'm just telling you kate 's psychiatrist was worried about her . what i did n't tell you was he was trying to have her committed . sonny : what are you talking about , commit -- like , to shadybrook ? jason : yes . sonny : she told me that he said to her that she 's fine , she does n't have to come back to him . so she 's lying about that like she 's lying about everything else . you know what ? i saw them . jason : okay -- sonny : i 'm the one that should be committed for believing she could love me and not being able to see what 's right in front of my face . sam : johnny slept with kate howard ? carly : yeah . yes . this is where you say , `` i told you so . `` sam : oh , i did n't say that . carly : everyone else did . sonny , michael , shawn -- hell , even jason did . they told me not to trust johnny . but i knew better . [ chuckles ] i knew the real johnny . i knew the kind and caring johnny . i knew the johnny who only lashed out because people hurt him . sam : is that what you said to them ? carly : that 's what i said to myself . i mean , johnny played me and i bought every word . sam : well , sometimes when someone tells you what you want to hear -- carly : johnny made sure that i saw him being noble . being misunderstood . [ chuckles ] i made it so easy for him to manipulate me . sam : are you sure that 's all it was . manipulation ? carly : johnny was only with me for one reason -- to provoke sonny . i should just be glad that it ended when it did , you know , before i fell in love with the man . [ sighs ] what ? sam : except you did fall in love with him . did n't you ? connie : are you telling me that carly would n't take you back ? johnny : nothing gets by you , does it ? connie : ah , so that 's why you 're here . you want me to make it all better , huh ? tell carly it was nothing but just a roll in the hay . johnny : you know , i 'd have you do just that if i thought it would do any good . connie : well , carly 's not gon na listen to a word i say and you know that , so what are you doing here ? johnny : i 'm here to talk -- to kate . connie : i 'm so sorry . kate 's not home right now . johnny : you know , last i checked , she was with keenan , on her way to get some help . connie : yeah , he was trying to get rid of connie , but i put the kibosh on kate 's plans . 'cause , you know , i got some plans of my own right now . johnny : keenan seemed pretty fixed to get her into shadybrook . he does n't strike me as a guy who would just give up . connie : yeah , you 're right . he 's very stubborn . but i found a way to persuade him . ewen : connie -- elizabeth : no , do n't get up . stay down . ewen : connie -- connie -- elizabeth : ewen , listen to me , okay ? ewen ? ewen , can you hear me ? [ monitor beeping ] elizabeth : ewen ? oh . what happened ? elizabeth : his b.p . is dropping . he 's tachycartic . how long has he been out ? elizabeth : he was just talking to me . he was trying to tell me who did this to him . we have to get him stabilized . i have the chart right here . maggie : sorry to keep you waiting . i 'll be happy to write a letter for steve . heather : can i ask you for something else ? i 'm really not supposed to leave the house without steve 's supervision , and i do n't want to get him in any more trouble . maggie : that 's understandable . heather : would you mind seeing me home ? maggie : no . of course not . let me just grab my purse . heather : thanks , dear . maggie : yeah . so , all set ? heather : i am now . well , the good news is that his b.p . is coming back up , but we need to keep him quiet until he 's stable . elizabeth : yeah . of course . i think i have another way to find out what happened . olivia : elizabeth . oh , thank god i found you . steve 's been arrested . the cops came and they took him back to -- elizabeth : to memphis . i know . heather was here . olivia : heather ? ! elizabeth : she just left . olivia : [ sighs ] she 's not supposed to be out walking around without anyone . elizabeth : i know . i told her to go home , that that would be the best place to wait for news . olivia : for god 's sake , ca n't someone just send that woman back to ferncliff and be done with it all ? elizabeth : i could n't agree more . olivia : okay , okay . first things first . we got to put our heads together and figure out a way to get steve out of this mess . elizabeth : i have to finish something first . just meet me at the nurse 's station . olivia : okay . take your time . [ sighs ] heather : thank you for seeing me home . maggie : not a problem . i 'm sure steve would want to make sure you were safe . [ telephone rings ] maggie : all right , we 're all set here . heather : just a second . just a minute . hello ? olivia : heather ? you home ? heather : yeah , where else would i be ? olivia : uh , well , you came to the hospital and you 're not supposed to be out without any supervision . heather : i know . i was just so worried . have you heard anything about steven lars ? olivia : dante says they 're taking very good care of him as far as lockup goes , so that 's good . heather : that 's something to be thankful for . olivia : listen , i have to talk to elizabeth , and then i 'm gon na stop by . you gon na be all right for awhile ? heather : do n't worry . i have everything under control . maggie : what did you find out about steve ? heather : no news , i 'm afraid . he 's doing as well as can be expected . maggie : i 'm glad to hear that . i guess , then , i should be heading off to -- heather : oh , please . wait a minute . you and i got off on the wrong foot , and i 'd like to start over . maggie : that 's really not necessary . everything was absolutely -- heather : for steven lars ' sake , please ? i know how important you are to him . and do n't worry . i know what happened in memphis . i know about the patient , about what steven lars did and why he did it . maggie : i did n't ask him to . the girl i was treating , she went on to live a very productive life . heather : that 's wonderful . maggie : you really understand ? heather : of course i do , dear . i told you i want to get along . why do n't i make us a pot of tea ? maggie : yeah . okay . do you need any help with the kettle ? heather : you know , it 's such a warm day . why do n't we make it iced ? johnny : so you just got keenan to back off , huh ? connie : why ? you think i ca n't get a man to do what i want ? johnny : is this before or after kate talked to him ? connie : i heard kate did n't enjoy our little night together . johnny : i thought she was gon na cry rape and call the cops . connie : oh , so this is damage control . johnny , i told you , kate went bye - bye . and as far as i 'm concerned , it was just sex between two consenting adults . johnny : i 'm still not sure what i consented to . connie : success , johnny . we got sonny off your back and kate off of mine . johnny : by taking something that sonny thought was his . you know , i do n't know if you know this about him , but he 's not a great loser . and something tells me that he could probably convince himself to forgive kate . connie : did you see the look on his face when he caught us in between the sheets , johnny ? there ai n't nothing on this damn earth that 's ever gon na make sonny take kate back again . sonny : it just ca n't be fixed -- i 'm done . i 'm done with kate . jason : it sounds like her psychiatrist thinks it 's pretty serious . sonny : i knew something was wrong . over and over again , i 'd ask her . i 'd say , `` you know what ? let 's meet somewhere . `` she would not show up , she 'd get tense , she 'd get distracted , and , you know , she 'd get emotional out of nowhere . jason : maybe those were the signs -- sonny : i asked her over and over , `` just tell me the truth . `` and what does she do ? lie to me -- to my face . you know how that makes me feel ? jason : yeah , i do . sonny : okay , i do n't want to keep talking about this right now . how you doing ? what 's going on with you ? jason : you know , sam -- we 're just going through some things right now . sonny : what do you mean , `` things `` ? jason : we were talking about you , sonny , so i -- sonny : i 'm not gon na -- no , we 're not gon na down this -- you and sam , whatever it is , you got to handle it . you guys got to make it work . you got a kid coming . jason : the baby 's not mine . sam : you know what ? this is none of my business . carly : you 're right . it is none of your business . you know what ? i have feelings for johnny . maybe i even love johnny , okay ? sam : okay . stranger things have happened . carly : luke does n't think so . sam : luke ? carly : he thinks i only saw johnny as a good , decent man because i was trying to find a replacement for jax . not an insight that i would have come up with , but -- sam : what ? i mean , do you think luke is right ? carly : i do n't know . maybe . i -- [ sighs ] today 's our anniversary . sam : you and jax ? carly : we would have been married five years today . i mean , we have been married five years today because i never signed the divorce papers . sam : hard to put that final nail in the coffin . carly : except i was going to . that 's why i was going to johnny 's apartment . i was gon na tell johnny . and that 's when i walked in and i -- sonny : oh , god , carly . carly : you know , it was almost , um -- it was like -- it was almost like i imagined it , you know ? i walked in and i saw johnny -- this guy that -- and then kate . [ chuckles ] it was unreal . you 're the last person i should be having this conversation with . sam : no , look . carly , sometimes it 's easier to say things to the one person that you should n't . carly : why do i feel like we 're talking about you ? judge lopez : now that mr. spinelli has said his piece , we 'll move on to the sentencing of miss jones . accordance with new york law and the guidelines -- felicia : your honor , wait . i 'm sorry to interrupt . but i 've got something i need to say . judge lopez : and you are ? felicia : felicia jones . i 'm maxie 's mother . judge lopez : as i said , ms . jones , the time for character statements is passed . felicia : i understand , but i was n't here for a character statement . or to provide support . i was n't here to be her mother . the only example i set was how to run away . how to disappear when life got painful . maxie deserves so much more . she deserved my attention and my focus and my love . i do n't know why my daughter did this , but i do know that she 's not responsible . i am . and if you 're gon na send anyone to prison , it should be me and not my daughter . judge lopez : i understand your feelings , ms . jones , but i 'm afraid this court ca n't accommodate you . you did not kill anyone . your daughter did . and as such , miss jones will be sentenced for the crimes she committed . if anyone else has any statements ? then we shall proceed without interruption . judge lopez : miss jones , you have pled guilty to the murder of dr. lisa niles . while dr. niles ' history of violent behavior could mitigate your punishment , the court can not ignore your subsequent actions -- the murder of a third party , lauren briggs , and the forgery of a suicide note . despite the severity of your offences , the court has given due consideration to the testimonials , both written and verbal , submitted on your behalf . therefore , mariah maximilliana jones , for these aforementioned crimes , i hereby sentence you to a term of 20 years in pentonville penitentiary without the possibility of parole . [ gavel bangs ] heather : you know , i really do n't remember it being this warm in port charles this time of year . it must be quite balmy in memphis . maggie : sometimes . heather : you know , dear , they 'll probably question you about what happened there . maggie : the hospital board already made an inquiry . heather : yeah , well , it 's one thing to lie to the hospital board . it 's another thing to lie in the court of law . maggie : if i get subpoenaed , i 'll speak to a lawyer , but , you know , i do n't -- i do n't think it 'll come to that . heather : no . neither do i . here you are . maggie : thank you . heather : drink up , dear . olivia : i 'm trying to put together money for bail and for lawyers , but i do n't have that kind of cash lying around . elizabeth : i think i might know somebody i could ask . olivia : i 'd really like to do it on our own , but is there any chance you have a list of steve 's assets ? elizabeth : i do n't . olivia , i do n't even understand why any of this is happening . my brother would never kill anyone , and i would go to memphis myself , but -- olivia : no , no , no , no . honey , honey , i understand . you got your boys . you got to take care of them . elizabeth : and then with ewen in this condition , it 's -- olivia : wait , dr. keenan ?

johnny : no , you 're right . sonny 's not gon na take kate back . connie : why do you look like your dog just died ? johnny : because i want to make things right with carly . connie : why ? why do n't you spare yourself the headache ? johnny : she was n't supposed to be hurt in all this , and now i do n't even know where to find her . i stopped by her house . she was n't there . swung by the bar upstairs in the hotel -- nothing . connie : well , if there was only some way you could contact her . johnny : she made it abundantly clear she wants nothing to do with me . connie : okay . well , could you do me a favor , then ? could you spare me the waterworks until i leave the office ? i can not stand to see a grown man cry . johnny : where the hell do you think you 're going ? connie : as far away from this place as i possibly can . kate is finally rid of sonny and i 'm finally rid of kate . today is the first day of the rest of my life . adios . johnny : sorry , connie . i ca n't let you leave . carly : what were you just saying ? about how it 's easy to tell everything to the wrong person ? sam : i do n't need to talk . carly : oh , my mistake . everything 's so perfect in your world . sam : we were supposed to be strong . carly : jason 's not off on business , is he ?

yeah , i believe steven lars new the victim , lisa niles . it says here that the murderer , maxie jones , hired a forger to take a fake suicide note to make it look like someone else committed the crimes . hmm . now , there 's a girl after my own heart . maggie : what 's wrong with me ? heather : i 'm not sure , exactly . maggie : what is that ? what did you do to me ? heather : you 're the doctor . i can tell you one thing , though . you really should n't have called me crazy . elizabeth : ewen only woke up long enough to tell me who attacked him . it was some woman he wanted to have committed to shadybrook . olivia : well , did you get her name ?

we need to get michelle out of here now . michelle : reva , do n't worry . look , if you can handle being in here with him , i can handle it . i 'm not scared of him . salerno : you should be . michelle : oh , my ... salerno : stay right where you are . michelle : he 's bleeding . salerno : oh , that 's nothing . he 'll be okay . now our little talk can me more intimate . we can really hold ... reva : look at ... vinnie , listen to me . do you want this interview to happen or not ? salerno : yes , i do . i want springfield to hear my story -- the whole story . tony : listen , danny . this thing is ... hey , the thing is you 've got nothing to worry about . danny : but there 's stuff you know , tony . tony : it 's not going to make it in the courtroom , and least the stuff that will get you hurt , all right ? he wants to put me on the stand and make sure that salerno goes to vailsburg for life . danny : all right . okay . okay . what about you ? where does your immunity deal with o'neill stand ? tony : hey , you know what ? i guess it still stands . i do n't know . danny : i 'll make sure . i 'll talk to him and make sure it does . tony : okay . danny : now , you understand that this only covers the laws that you broke in the past , right ? tony : hey , we talked about this , danny . you and i , we 're not discussing this anymore . my business is my business . danny : right , right , right , right , right . you 're obviously watching out for yourself , tony . well , okay well , i guess that 's it , then . once you testify , your obligation will be over . you wo n't have to even think about me or michelle ever again . harley : got to go . cassie : harley , wait . harley : no . there 's a lot more where that came from , and they 've all got to go back . cassie : stop . stop . you need to unwind a little bit . you need to not think about this for a while . mel : yeah . why do n't we go somewhere , all three of us ? cassie : that 's a great idea . we 'll go to dinner . we can have a couple drinks . mel : definitely have something to drink . cassie : come on . you deserve this . you need to give yourself a break , harley . harley : well , you know , it would n't be a break , though , because i would be sitting there with my nice glass of wine and my nice salad and my terrific friends , and all i 'd be thinking the whole time is how pathetic i must seem to the both of you . so i know myself . i love you guys , but i 've got to go . i 've got to keep moving . i 've got to stay busy . i 'll call you . mel : she should n't be alone . cassie : no , she shouldn't . i 'm going to go after her . mel : okay . cassie : i 'll leave a note . talk about a reality check . mel : what do you mean ? cassie : well , i 've been obsessing over this woman who 's been playing princesc mm % e thanks to my credit cards , and now i look at harley , and i see that things could be worse , a lot worse . jeffrey : all right , i want the full report on dinah . what 's the update ? i do n't want excuses . just ... all right . it 's a simple question . ñi did she or did she not get into the united states ? work on it . okay , more fun and games . i 'm going to give you three questions , real easy ones , okay ? i do n't want you to think about it . just spit out the answer , okay ? dinah : all right . jeffrey : the names of cassie 's children . dinah : rj and tammy . jeffrey : cassie 's birthday . dinah : may 3 . jeffrey : the name of cassie 's personal trainer . come on . dinah : i do n't remember . jeffrey : come on . personal trainer . dinah : jocelyn . jacqueline . jeffrey : think ! dinah : jacqueline . jeffrey : no , she does n't have a personal trainer . xd dinah : trick question . jeffrey : i know it 's a trick question . that 's the whole point . you 've got to know this stuff , i told you . how many times i got to tell you ? it has to be ... dinah : i know , i know , i know . it 's all got to be instinct , or the operation wo n't fly . i know . you 've said it enough . jeffrey : listen , darling . you 've got to know every single detail about cassie winslow 's life from the most exciting to the most mundane . dinah : okay . but you know what , richard ? what about the intimate , huh ? you have n't asked me what side of the bed i like to sleep on , or where we were when we first kissed . jeffrey : we 're going to get to that . dinah : okay . will we get to my fantasies ? because i think those are very important . jeffrey : as a matter of fact , they are . dinah : i wonder how convincing we 'll be as lovers . jeffrey : i think we 're going to be fine . ross : jeffrey , i 've been thinking about my daughter lately . i want to talk to you about dinah . edmund : all right . we 're here . tell me exactly what you know about jeffrey o'neill , if indeed there 's anything at all . dinah : you like to come off so blase , but i noticed you followed me . edmund : call it a precautionary measure . dinah : good . so you 're interested in what i know . how interesting . edmund : are you hinting at some sort of deal ? dinah : best way to make sure we both get what we want , which is that we keep jeffrey away from your beloved cassie . edmund : which is important to you why ? oh . t ! m dinah : to each his own . edmund : well , that makes it a very even playing field . i 'm just having a hard time imagining , miss whoever the hell you are , that you have a hard time getting any man . dinah : really ? well , i 'm going to consider that a complement , because it 's not always that easy , you know . you can find a man . it 's holding onto him that 's difficult . edmund : so i take it you 've had your fair share of disappointments . dinah : i actually hate that word , because i find it pale and polite compared to the pain . edmund : well , yes , i suppose it is . dinah : have you ever felt what it 's like to have somebody slip away from you ? i mean , you knew that you belonged together , but that did n't matter , not anymore . you did everything you could to keep them close and to keep them from looking anywhere else but your eyes , but they kept wandering farther and farther , and sooner or later , you were finding yourself doing things that you never thought you 'd do . i 'm guess i 'm not explaining it well enough . edmund : i 'd say you 're doing a pretty fair job . dinah : no . i think that you actually have to grasp something like that only through experience . and maybe that 's what you and cassie are doing right now -- experiencing something like that . edmund : what 's your point ? dinah : my point is that it could easily happen , edmund . you and i see it , because we see things like this before others do . and we can stop it if we have a deal . do we have a deal ? edmund : yes . harley : okay . this stuff i can drop on my way back home . this is my `` got to be mailed back to the owner `` pile , and this is my 5th street stuff . that 's good . cassie : hey . harley : hey . cassie : if the pi business does n't work out , you could always open a courier service . harley : i sure could . i could start my own , because you should see the pile of gifts back at my house . but it 's okay . i 'll take care of all of it , no problem . cassie : i think you 're moving way too fast , harley . harley : by wiping the slate clean ? cassie : why now ? you could do this in a few days , you could do it in a few months . you may regret that you 've done it so soon . harley : you mean regret cutting gus out of my life completely ? cassie : crazier things have happened . harley : that would be the craziest thing of all . no , i made one mistake with that guy . i wo n't be making another . i 'm cutting my losses now . cassie : i know he broke your heart . he also did a lot to heal your heart . you ca n't deny that . harley : yes . well , you 'll have to forgive me if i do n't leap to his defense . cassie : you had given up on love , and gus was the one to help you find it again . harley : yeah . and look where that got me , cassie . cassie : i know it hurts . i know it hurts , harley . harley : yeah . it all hurts , okay ? not just what he did , but the fact that i should have seen it coming and i was completely blind to it . you know what ? that 's not true . i knew this was coming . i saw this coming . but i so did n't want it to happen that i pretended it wouldn't . and deep down , i knew . i knew when he got involved with his new family that we were done for . cassie : that 's not how it happened . harley : yes . cassie , he had to make a choice between me and team spaulding , and he made it , and that 's a fact . the fiction is me thinking that it would n't affect us . we did n't stand a chance . cassie : harley , come on . listen to me . just because something went really wrong at the end does n't mean it was n't great at the beginning . harley : is that supposed to make me feel better ? cassie : no . it 's supposed to make you realize that you did n't make a mistake , okay ? you chose to love gus . and you know what ? sometimes love hurts , and sometimes things go wrong . but they 're not mistakes . harley : yeah , except when they are . tony : look , it 's not that i do n't care about you and michelle . reva : this is reva lewis , and i 'm coming to you live form the springfield correctional facility . we 're in the middle of a lockdown right now , which is why the alarms are going off and the lights are flashing , and we 're not really sure exactly what the problem is . but it has n't affected us so far , so we 're just going to keep on broadcasting until they tell us to stop . we 're set to do an interview , and since we ca n't get out and nobody else can get back in , we 're just going to go ahead as planned . vinnie salerno ... danny : oh , my god . reva : ... is set to go on trial for racketeering , money laundering , drug smuggling , and attempted murder . salerno : you forgot double parking with criminal intent . tony : the guy was n't worth listening to when he was the boss , danny . danny : well , michelle 's there with reva . tony : no , i do n't think michelle is there . they have live satellite trucks , and they have a feed , right ? reva : the evidence against you is fairly convincing . does that worry you ? salerno : no , that does n't worry me . you know what does ? the food in this place . it stinks . i 've dropped five pounds the last two weeks . reva : mr. salerno ... salerno : no , no . come on , reva , come on . call me vinnie . we 're all friends here . reva : i 've heard the case against you characterized as a slam - dunk . that has to concern you . salerno : not really . that 's just the d.a . 's office shooting off their mouths . a jury 's going to try this case , not the d.a . those 12 citizens will weigh the evidence themselves and draw their own conclusions . reva : well , i ca n't wait to hear their conclusions after i get up on the stand and tell them how you held a gun to my head . salerno : it took you all of , what , about two minutes to slant things in your favor ? but i can slant things in my favor , too . reva : is that a threat , vinnie ? because you would n't want our audience to think that we were in any kind of danger . salerno : there 's no danger here . we 're all old friends . is n't that right , michelle ? get a shot of the lovely mrs . santos , michelle to her friends . danny : michelle ... coming up on `` guiding light `` ... gus : so now what , you going to exile me because i tried to do both and love you and my new family ? harley : yes . michelle : rumor has it that warehouse explosion was n't an accident -- it was mob - related . is it true ? salerno : maybe you 'd better ask your husband danny . michelle : i do n't know if we 're old friends , vinnie , because i do n't remember you . ñi salerno : well , that 's too bad . i remember you , your kid and your husband . danny : get over there . tony : where , the pen ? danny : vinnie lives for revenge , tony . what if he tries something with michelle ? tony : hey , hey , hey . let me go with you . danny : no . stay here . robbie 's sleeping upstairs . i 'll call you when i know she 's okay . tony : all right , please do . salerno : but real life is complicated . so 's this case . it 's not nearly as cut and dried as you make it out to be . we have what we call mitigating factors , you know , your husband being one of them . reva : okay , can we just keep this case between us , vinnie ? salerno : it 's just funny what gets called guilt and innocence , you know ? i mean , you take michelle here , for example . she lost her memory in a horrible explosion . i ca n't help but wondering if maybe her husband danny has taken advantage of that . michelle : what are you talking about ? reva : michelle ... vinnie , talk to me . salerno : i 'm thinking that maybe danny tried to paint his past as lily white , you know ? i mean , seeing as how you ca n't remember any of it , i would n't blame him , you know , if he held a few things back . michelle : he 's not keeping anything from me . reva : michelle ... okay , can we get back to the point here ? let 's talk about your purported connection to spaulding enterprises . salerno : i thought we were talking about danny santos . let me ask you something . is it true what i heard that when you guys met , danny was here on orders from his mother carmen to whack you ? reva : okay , that 's it . salerno : from murder to marriage . you 've got to admit , that 's quite a love story . michelle : you 're crazy ! you do n't even know what you 're talking about ! reva : we 're going to take a commercial break right now , and hopefully we 'll be back with more of this interview after a moment . okay , michelle , i told you to stay out of this , and i mean it . you know what he 's doing here . he knows that this interview wo n't win him an acquittal , so he 's going after you . he 's trying to trash danny and embarrass you because he 's got nothing to lose . michelle : well , i 'm not embarrassed . i 'm just mad . reva : look ! i am trying to protect you . michelle : io n't need protection . what 's he going to say to hurt us ? salerno : that 's right . nothing . i just want to chat . michelle : it 's not like we can get out of here anyway , reva , and i 'd really like to hear what he has to say . ross : ah , yes . that 'll be just fine . all right . you , too . bye - bye . sorry . i had to take that . city council president . jeffrey : that 's all right . now , listen , i 'd love to have this little chat , but right now i 'm kind of waiting for another appointment . ross : well , this wo n't take long . i just want you to take a look at this , and then get back to me . jeffrey : ross , this is your daughter 's file . you had it pulled ? ross : i wanted to see it for myself . it 's been a while since i 've gone through it . jeffrey : well , let 's see . your daughter killed a man . ross : o'neill ... jeffrey : and then she left the country to avoid arrest . ross : because i want your take on it as a prosecutor . jeffrey : for what purpose , ross ? ross : i 'm just curious how you would handle things , if for instance dinah came back to springfield . how aggressively would you pursue the case against her , seeing that there are now many different factors , circumstances , degree of intent , et cetera , et cetera . jeffrey : wait , wait , wait . hang on . ross , you realize that this conversation is inappropriate on about a dozen levels . ross : i was a father long before i was a mayor . i 'm speaking to you as a concerned parent , not as your boss . i need to know how ... how to move forward with dinah . jeffrey : you know where she is , do n't you ? ross : do n't ask me questions that i ca n't answer . jeffrey : ca n't ? or wo n't ? ross : this is not about what i know , it 's about what you would do as d.a . , given dinah 's situation . so you read that and you think about it and you give me a call . jeffrey ? < i do n't need to tell you , do i , that this stays between us ? dinah : i need to go . edmund : wait , wait . we just started . dinah : i 'll call you again soon . edmund : look here . you push for a meeting , insist we need to join forces to take care of the menace which is jeffrey o'neill and as soon as we shake on it , you leave . back up your claims . dinah : i have all the facts and the figures , if that 's what you 're worried about . edmund : how nice for you . let 's hear them . dinah : not now . edmund : why not ? dinah : because it 's just going to have to wait . rule number one : do n't touch me . i said i 'd call . gus : another one , please . bartender : so , when did you switch to whiskey ? gus : do i know you ? f * bartender : yeah . you used to come in here a lot , a couple years back ? you were strictly a beer guy then . gus : well , here 's to changing tastes . and changing times . neither one of which i 'm very good at . this is a nice place . a lot of drink and a lot of good food . it 's a nice ambiance . maybe i should have just stayed in here when i came here first and moved under the table . it 's dark and quiet . and no one knows your name . a guy could get comfortable in a place like this . harley : do n't bet on it . gus : how about this one ? harley : clean it ? gus : fill it . harley : do n't you think you 've had enough ? gus : enough in a bar ? bar : `` bring another round . `` that 's what `` bar `` stands for . all right then , tell me something , because that 's what bartenders do , they give advice . harley : what do you want to know ? gus : how do i get you back ? harley : gus was lying to me . cassie : i know . and it 's terrible . harley : uh - huh . well now he wants me back . he is sick with guilt . cassie : but ? harley : but it 's too little , too late . uh - uh . i wo n't do it . `` harley `` : sorry . ca n't do it . ca n't give you an answer to that one . gus : why not ? `` harley `` : there may not be an answer . gus : how can that be ? how can this be happening ? i mean , give me the answer , because if anybody knows the answer , it 's you . harley : you know , i fell in love with gus for all the right reasons . but it had to turn out that he was a spaulding , right ? they ruin everything . everything ! `` harley `` : do i have to tell you everything ? is n't it obvious ? you could n't figure out who to be loyal to , them or me . gus : i chose both.ñr `` harley `` : oh , the `` why - can't- i - have - it - all `` mentality . such ego . gus : it was n't ego . it was love . harley : what i would have liked is to have never known anyone named spaulding . or aitoro . ever . that would have saved me a lot of grief . cassie : harley , i know what gus did was awful , but he was n't trying to hurt you . harley : i feel so much better now . cassie : i 'm not trying to be insensitive , but gus loves you , harley . harley : he should have known , cassie . from his first day at spaulding , from the first time he was tying his tie and looking in the mirror , he should have been saying to himself , `` better be careful , gus . do n't let them change you . `` gus : love changes you . it changed me . it changed me into a gung - ho fiance and a loyal -- fiercely loyal -- son . `` harley `` : love is supposed to make your priorities clear . gus : so now what ? you 're going to exile me because i tried to do both and love you and my new family ? `` harley `` : yes . harley : okay , i know it is hypocritical for me to say that he should love me and not love his own family , but i do n't have to stand by and watch while he covers their crimes . and i wo n't do it . cassie : harley ? do you love gus ? gus : do you still love me ? `` harley `` : yeah . but that 's not enough . harley : but that 's not enough . gus : we need to talk about this . bartender : talk about what ? barfly # 1 : my wife does the exact same thing , you know . i 'll be sitting there in front of the tube , you know , watching the tv and joanie will walk in with that fish - eye look . ( laughter ) and say , `` hey , another game ? `` barfly # 2 : yeah , but when they want to watch another one of those tearjerker movies , that 's okay . barfly # 1 : that 's because `` that 's a story . `` it 's not sports . barfly # 2 : ( laughs ) it really puts the `` why `` in `` wives . `` gus : can you just shut up ? barfly # 1 : what 's your problem ? gus : my problem is people like you . with your baloney . why do n't you just scream it in my ear . barfly # 1 : this is a public place , all right ? you do n't like it , go home . gus : idiots like you , i do n't even ... how do you get wives , people like you ? ( laughter ) barfly # 1 : one time i caught joanie crying over -- get this -- a greeting card with a picture of a fawn on it . barfly # 2 : ( laughs ) gus : you know what it is ? you people ... you do n't deserve wives , guys like you . barfly # 2 : beat it . gus : no , i 'm not beating it . i 'm not beating it . you know , you 're going to have to make me . barfly # 1 : my pleasure . you 've got a big mouth for a little guy . i 'm going to have to teach you some manners . harley : please tell me this is not another wedding gift . i would have refused delivery , but look . there 's no return address . cassie : well , is there a card in there ? harley : yeah . ( gasps ) i know who this is from . cassie : who ? harley : it 's darci . this gets better and better . cassie : who are you calling ? harley : i 'm going to call frank . maybe he can track her down through the store where the gift came from . he 's not picking up . i do n't want to leave this on his voice mail . cassie : what ? what ? what are you thinking ? harley : you know what i 'm thinking ? i 'm thinking it 's one thing for me and gus to go down in flames , but frank and darci ? because of alex ? because she did this ? that 's not fair . and i hate this . here . do me a favor . would you lock up , please ? cassie : you do n't want company ? harley : no . there 's one last thing i need to return . jeffrey : you sure it 's her ? well , no , no , no , no , no . we do n't want her answering the door . we just want her to stay where she is . double check and then call me back , okay ? i 've got to go . mel : no need to hang up . i 'm on my way out . jeffrey : hello , doctor . or should i say counselor ? what 's your hurry ? mel : well , i 'm going to pick up my daughter from daycare and then to check on a friend . jeffrey : ooh , a friend . sounds mysterious . you 're not stepping out on old rick , are you ? mel : no . jeffrey : just a joke , mel . so , who 's the mysterious friend ? mel : harley , if you must know . cassie and i were worried about her calling off the wedding and all , so cassie went to check on her . jeffrey : good old mrs . winslow , ever the busybody . you 'd think she 'd have more important things to worry about . mel : i know . what is she thinking , worrying about a friend ? jeffrey : well , you know , sometimes friends can be cumbersome . sometimes they can have too many opinions and too many demands . anyway , as far as the cooper wedding fiasco goes , i would n't worry about harley . she 's pretty tough . mel : not as tough as she looks . jeffrey : well , if you want my advice , i would say give her some space . anyway , enough about that . how 's your sister - in - law doing ? mel : the same . memory has n't come back yet . jeffrey : well , maybe that 's a good thing . well , yeah . i mean , you know , sometimes it 's nice to start over . we all want to start over sometimes . this could be the best thing that ever happened to her . mel : nice way to rationalize it , seeing that you 're the one who set the whole nightmare in motion . you know , if it were n't for you , michelle would be home right now fixing her son some lunch . jeffrey : do n't lay that on me . that 's danny 's cross to bear , not mine , okay ? i did my best to keep michelle out of it . mel : no . if you did your best , you would have kept danny out of it . jeffrey : okay . whatever you say . whatever you say , mel . mel : you know , you really do n't care about anyone , do you ? you know , i 'm going to leave right now because i doubt you want to hear what i have to say to you . jeffrey : give my regards to dr . rick . well , what have you got ? okay , good . well , then , just keep an eye on her . you call me back if she so much as puts one foot out of that room . okay . good girl , dinah . you just stay put . dinah : no , i want you to stay in the apartment , okay ? and do n't take off the wig . just order some videos , take- out , you know ? that 's why i gave you the credit cards . how long ? well , however long it takes to convince certain people that dinah is safe at home . ( alarm buzzing ) reva : okay , we 're back with more of the interview with vinnie salerno . ( alarm stops buzzing ) well . looks like the emergency is over . but not this interview , because i still have a whole lot of questions to ask you and i know you 've got a whole lot to say , so let 's get right to it . i want to talk about an event that happened in late 2002 . michelle : why do n't you ask him why he has such an ax to grind with my husband . maybe it 's because he brought you down ? salerno : danny santos , big hero of springfield , huh ? the good guy who put the bad guy in chains and a jumpsuit . michelle : yeah , that 's right . salerno : let me tell you something , cupcake . the world is not divided into the white hats and the black . there 's a lot of gray area . nobody is pure , least of all danny boy . reva : it 's common knowledge that danny was the head of a local crime family but he 's put that all behind him . salerno : you 'd be surprised . reva : well , you want to tell us about something he did more recently , besides making a fool of you by putting you in here ? salerno : to be a convincing bad guy , you need to do bad things . michelle : can you be any more vague ? salerno : oh . you want specifics , is that what it is ? you want to know exactly what danny did while he was working for me ? then why did n't you just say so ? oh , i 've got plenty to say . ( crashing ) harley : gus ? gus : harley ? is that you ? mel : oh , ross . i 'm so sorry . ross : you all right ? mel : flustered . i blame it all on jeffrey o'neill . ross : you know , i often wonder who got the blame for everything before jeffrey came to town . mel : he made me so angry earlier that i stormed out of here leaving my purse and my cell phone and when i went to go pick up my daughter from daycare , they said rick already picked her up and they tried to call me to let me know , but of course i was too busy being annoyed with jeffrey and his whole attitude . do you know that he refers to friendship as `` cumbersome `` ? ross : really ? i had n't heard that one before . mel : i am so glad that i stopped working for that man . i would hate to have to count on him for anything . well , i 've got to go . i 'm sorry . bye . ross : take care . jeffrey , you 'd better come through for me , for the sake of my little girl . cassie : get back ! cassie : get back ! salerno : well , the fact is , i 've got more to say than you might want to hear , michelle . danny : i need to get in there right now . guard # 2 : you ca n't go in there . danny : look , i 've got a pass from the producer . it 's right here . guard # 2 : that does n't matter . danny : my wife is in there . i need to get her out . guard # 2 : they 're on the air , live . danny : there 's a ... guard # 2 : hey ! i 've got my orders . the door stays shut . michelle : you better put up or shut up . not that anyone is going to take anything you say at face value , because you 're a drug smuggler , a racketeer and maybe even a murderer . salerno : murderer ? i do n't think that particular charge made it to the list , michelle . michelle : really ? really ? because rumor has it , that warehouse explosion , the one that i was hurt in , the one that killed that girl eden , was n't an accident . it was caused by a bomb . salerno : really ? michelle : yeah . and word has it , it was mob- related . a hit . on maybe that girl , eden , maybe me , both of us . is it true ? salerno : maybe you 'd better ask your husband danny . michelle : what are you talking about ? salerno : i had absolutely nothing to do with that warehouse bomb . danny santos did . next , on `` guiding light . `` michelle : is it true ? did you set that explosion ? i want to hear the truth . are you responsible for putting me in that hospital bed ? alexandra : harley , what do you really want from me ? harley : i want you to admit what you did to frank . alexandra : i admit it . i framed frank . jeffrey : i 'm here because i really need to be near you right now . it 's as simple as that . | harley begins to return wedding gifts while gus gets drunk at a bar . dinah and edmond make a pact not to let jeffery and cassie get together . at the prison reva is unable to get michelle out of the interview room before they go live on tv . tony shows up at danny 's and tells him that he 's received a subpoena to testify in salerno 's trial . danny tells tony that his immunity deal with jeffery should still stand but that it only covers crimes in the past . ross asks jeffery to take a look at dinah 's file . ross wants to know how jeffery would pursue the case if dinah came back to springfield . gus gets into a fight at a bar . harley receives a gift from darcie with no return address . danny shows up at the prison to see vinnie tell michelle that she needs to ask danny about the warehouse bomb and that he had nothing to do with it . | <s>[INST] cassie : it was like a bad movie , was n't it ? mel : oh , it was terrible . cassie : i still keep thinking back to when gus came out and told everyone the wedding was off , and then alex was arrested . what was that about ? mel : i was like a nightmare . like watching a train wreck . harley must be in total shock . harley , hi . harley : i 'm not interrupting anything , am i ? cassie : never . are you okay ? what 's going on ? harley : this is yours . i appreciate the thought , but obviously in light of everything that 's happened , it would n't be right to keep that . cassie : you do n't have to do this . harley : and i would have brought yours and rick 's , but i did n't realize you 'd be here . can i drop it by the house later ? is that okay ? mel : harley ... harley , please , look . you do n't have to return the gifts , okay ? it 's not ... harley : important ? no , it is . you 're wrong . it 's my top priority . i need to get rid of everything that reminds me of what 's - his- name -- gus . jeffrey : out for a walk ? gus : i 'm just out . jeffrey : you all right ? gus : yeah . i 'm hanging in there , you know ? jeffrey : you and i might need to have a little conversation in light of recent events . gus : right , right . okay . jeffrey : gus , i still want you to testify at salerno 's trial . gus : really ? jeffrey : yeah . gus : even though i crossed the line ? jeffrey : vinnie 's the guy i want to put away , not you . so if i need you , where can i find you ? harley 's ? right . okay . at the spaulding 's ? gus : yeah . yeah , at the spaulding 's , for now . jeffrey : come on . pick up . pick up . edmund : so you know why jeffrey o'neill came to town , you know why he checked into cassie 's hotel , and you know why he looks the way he looks . dinah : i have some answers for you , yes . ( phone ringing ) edmund : do n't answer that . dinah : you know , let 's go somewhere private . edmund : why ? are you being followed ? dinah : what , are you kidding me ? edmund : just talk to me . i checked into jeffrey o'neill months ago when he first came to town for just the reasons you pointed out . dinah : and you stopped . why ? edmund : i was satisfied that i know who he is and what he wants . dinah : well , you 're very easily satisfied . edmund : is that so ? dinah : mm - hmm . i mean , you found out that jeffrey the da was actually jeffrey the federal agent . but do you honestly believe that 's the whole story , or the only one ? edmund : i let it go because i had to let it go . dinah : and yet it 's still around , the doubts and the suspicions . edmund : who are you and what do you want ? dinah : you and i have an awful lot to talk about . you have no idea . if you tell me that you never worried whether or not jeffrey o'neill was interested in cassie , then i 'd have to call you a liar . and if you tell me that you 're sure there 's nothing more to worry about , i 'd have to call you a damn fool . reva : we have got to get michelle out of here right now . guard # 1 : look , a lockdown means that no doors get open until the all clear . salerno : now you know how i feel . reva : she was n't even supposed to be in here to begin with . guard # 1 : well , i ca n't override the system . cameraman : reva , we 're going live in two minutes . salerno : looks like it 's showtime . ( knocking on door ) tony : hey . michelle here ? danny : hey . no , she 's not . tony : okay , good . i need to talk to you . danny : it 's not a good time , actually . michelle 's working with reva today , and they 're doing a live interview , and it 's going to be on any minute . so ... tony : okay . well , danny , listen . it 's not going to take long , all right ? truth is i got a subpoena from o'neill today to make an appearance at salerno 's trial . danny : an appearance ? tony : yeah . you know , the kind where you put your hand on a bible and you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god . cameraman : we 're live in 60 seconds . reva : we need to get her out . michelle has to get out of here . hello ? we need to get michelle out of here now . michelle : reva , do n't worry . look , if you can handle being in here with him , i can handle it . i 'm not scared of him . salerno : you should be . michelle : oh , my ... salerno : stay right where you are . michelle : he 's bleeding . salerno : oh , that 's nothing . he 'll be okay . now our little talk can me more intimate . we can really hold ... reva : look at ... vinnie , listen to me . do you want this interview to happen or not ? salerno : yes , i do . i want springfield to hear my story -- the whole story . tony : listen , danny . this thing is ... hey , the thing is you 've got nothing to worry about . danny : but there 's stuff you know , tony . tony : it 's not going to make it in the courtroom , and least the stuff that will get you hurt , all right ? he wants to put me on the stand and make sure that salerno goes to vailsburg for life . danny : all right . okay . okay . what about you ? where does your immunity deal with o'neill stand ? tony : hey , you know what ? i guess it still stands . i do n't know . danny : i 'll make sure . i 'll talk to him and make sure it does . tony : okay . danny : now , you understand that this only covers the laws that you broke in the past , right ? tony : hey , we talked about this , danny . you and i , we 're not discussing this anymore . my business is my business . danny : right , right , right , right , right . you 're obviously watching out for yourself , tony . well , okay well , i guess that 's it , then . once you testify , your obligation will be over . you wo n't have to even think about me or michelle ever again . harley : got to go . cassie : harley , wait . harley : no . there 's a lot more where that came from , and they 've all got to go back . cassie : stop . stop . you need to unwind a little bit . you need to not think about this for a while . mel : yeah . why do n't we go somewhere , all three of us ? cassie : that 's a great idea . we 'll go to dinner . we can have a couple drinks . mel : definitely have something to drink . cassie : come on . you deserve this . you need to give yourself a break , harley . harley : well , you know , it would n't be a break , though , because i would be sitting there with my nice glass of wine and my nice salad and my terrific friends , and all i 'd be thinking the whole time is how pathetic i must seem to the both of you . so i know myself . i love you guys , but i 've got to go . i 've got to keep moving . i 've got to stay busy . i 'll call you . mel : she should n't be alone . cassie : no , she shouldn't . i 'm going to go after her . mel : okay . cassie : i 'll leave a note . talk about a reality check . mel : what do you mean ? cassie : well , i 've been obsessing over this woman who 's been playing princesc mm % e thanks to my credit cards , and now i look at harley , and i see that things could be worse , a lot worse . jeffrey : all right , i want the full report on dinah . what 's the update ? i do n't want excuses . just ... all right . it 's a simple question . ñi did she or did she not get into the united states ? work on it . okay , more fun and games . i 'm going to give you three questions , real easy ones , okay ? i do n't want you to think about it . just spit out the answer , okay ? dinah : all right . jeffrey : the names of cassie 's children . dinah : rj and tammy . jeffrey : cassie 's birthday . dinah : may 3 . jeffrey : the name of cassie 's personal trainer . come on . dinah : i do n't remember . jeffrey : come on . personal trainer . dinah : jocelyn . jacqueline . jeffrey : think ! dinah : jacqueline . jeffrey : no , she does n't have a personal trainer . xd dinah : trick question . jeffrey : i know it 's a trick question . that 's the whole point . you 've got to know this stuff , i told you . how many times i got to tell you ? it has to be ... dinah : i know , i know , i know . it 's all got to be instinct , or the operation wo n't fly . i know . you 've said it enough . jeffrey : listen , darling . you 've got to know every single detail about cassie winslow 's life from the most exciting to the most mundane . dinah : okay . but you know what , richard ? what about the intimate , huh ? you have n't asked me what side of the bed i like to sleep on , or where we were when we first kissed . jeffrey : we 're going to get to that . dinah : okay . will we get to my fantasies ? because i think those are very important . jeffrey : as a matter of fact , they are . dinah : i wonder how convincing we 'll be as lovers . jeffrey : i think we 're going to be fine . ross : jeffrey , i 've been thinking about my daughter lately . i want to talk to you about dinah . edmund : all right . we 're here . tell me exactly what you know about jeffrey o'neill , if indeed there 's anything at all . dinah : you like to come off so blase , but i noticed you followed me . edmund : call it a precautionary measure . dinah : good . so you 're interested in what i know . how interesting . edmund : are you hinting at some sort of deal ? dinah : best way to make sure we both get what we want , which is that we keep jeffrey away from your beloved cassie . edmund : which is important to you why ? oh . t ! m dinah : to each his own . edmund : well , that makes it a very even playing field . i 'm just having a hard time imagining , miss whoever the hell you are , that you have a hard time getting any man . dinah : really ? well , i 'm going to consider that a complement , because it 's not always that easy , you know . you can find a man . it 's holding onto him that 's difficult . edmund : so i take it you 've had your fair share of disappointments . dinah : i actually hate that word , because i find it pale and polite compared to the pain . edmund : well , yes , i suppose it is . dinah : have you ever felt what it 's like to have somebody slip away from you ? i mean , you knew that you belonged together , but that did n't matter , not anymore . you did everything you could to keep them close and to keep them from looking anywhere else but your eyes , but they kept wandering farther and farther , and sooner or later , you were finding yourself doing things that you never thought you 'd do . i 'm guess i 'm not explaining it well enough . edmund : i 'd say you 're doing a pretty fair job . dinah : no . i think that you actually have to grasp something like that only through experience . and maybe that 's what you and cassie are doing right now -- experiencing something like that . edmund : what 's your point ? dinah : my point is that it could easily happen , edmund . you and i see it , because we see things like this before others do . and we can stop it if we have a deal . do we have a deal ? edmund : yes . harley : okay . this stuff i can drop on my way back home . this is my `` got to be mailed back to the owner `` pile , and this is my 5th street stuff . that 's good . cassie : hey . harley : hey . cassie : if the pi business does n't work out , you could always open a courier service . harley : i sure could . i could start my own , because you should see the pile of gifts back at my house . but it 's okay . i 'll take care of all of it , no problem . cassie : i think you 're moving way too fast , harley . harley : by wiping the slate clean ? cassie : why now ? you could do this in a few days , you could do it in a few months . you may regret that you 've done it so soon . harley : you mean regret cutting gus out of my life completely ? cassie : crazier things have happened . harley : that would be the craziest thing of all . no , i made one mistake with that guy . i wo n't be making another . i 'm cutting my losses now . cassie : i know he broke your heart . he also did a lot to heal your heart . you ca n't deny that . harley : yes . well , you 'll have to forgive me if i do n't leap to his defense . cassie : you had given up on love , and gus was the one to help you find it again . harley : yeah . and look where that got me , cassie . cassie : i know it hurts . i know it hurts , harley . harley : yeah . it all hurts , okay ? not just what he did , but the fact that i should have seen it coming and i was completely blind to it . you know what ? that 's not true . i knew this was coming . i saw this coming . but i so did n't want it to happen that i pretended it wouldn't . and deep down , i knew . i knew when he got involved with his new family that we were done for . cassie : that 's not how it happened . harley : yes . cassie , he had to make a choice between me and team spaulding , and he made it , and that 's a fact . the fiction is me thinking that it would n't affect us . we did n't stand a chance . cassie : harley , come on . listen to me . just because something went really wrong at the end does n't mean it was n't great at the beginning . harley : is that supposed to make me feel better ? cassie : no . it 's supposed to make you realize that you did n't make a mistake , okay ? you chose to love gus . and you know what ? sometimes love hurts , and sometimes things go wrong . but they 're not mistakes . harley : yeah , except when they are . tony : look , it 's not that i do n't care about you and michelle . reva : this is reva lewis , and i 'm coming to you live form the springfield correctional facility . we 're in the middle of a lockdown right now , which is why the alarms are going off and the lights are flashing , and we 're not really sure exactly what the problem is . but it has n't affected us so far , so we 're just going to keep on broadcasting until they tell us to stop . we 're set to do an interview , and since we ca n't get out and nobody else can get back in , we 're just going to go ahead as planned . vinnie salerno ... danny : oh , my god . reva : ... is set to go on trial for racketeering , money laundering , drug smuggling , and attempted murder . salerno : you forgot double parking with criminal intent . tony : the guy was n't worth listening to when he was the boss , danny . danny : well , michelle 's there with reva . tony : no , i do n't think michelle is there . they have live satellite trucks , and they have a feed , right ? reva : the evidence against you is fairly convincing . does that worry you ? salerno : no , that does n't worry me . you know what does ? the food in this place . it stinks . i 've dropped five pounds the last two weeks . reva : mr. salerno ... salerno : no , no . come on , reva , come on . call me vinnie . we 're all friends here . reva : i 've heard the case against you characterized as a slam - dunk . that has to concern you . salerno : not really . that 's just the d.a . 's office shooting off their mouths . a jury 's going to try this case , not the d.a . those 12 citizens will weigh the evidence themselves and draw their own conclusions . reva : well , i ca n't wait to hear their conclusions after i get up on the stand and tell them how you held a gun to my head . salerno : it took you all of , what , about two minutes to slant things in your favor ? but i can slant things in my favor , too . reva : is that a threat , vinnie ? because you would n't want our audience to think that we were in any kind of danger . salerno : there 's no danger here . we 're all old friends . is n't that right , michelle ? get a shot of the lovely mrs . santos , michelle to her friends . danny : michelle ... coming up on `` guiding light `` ... gus : so now what , you going to exile me because i tried to do both and love you and my new family ? harley : yes . michelle : rumor has it that warehouse explosion was n't an accident -- it was mob - related . is it true ? salerno : maybe you 'd better ask your husband danny . michelle : i do n't know if we 're old friends , vinnie , because i do n't remember you . ñi salerno : well , that 's too bad . i remember you , your kid and your husband . danny : get over there . tony : where , the pen ? danny : vinnie lives for revenge , tony . what if he tries something with michelle ? tony : hey , hey , hey . let me go with you . danny : no . stay here . robbie 's sleeping upstairs . i 'll call you when i know she 's okay . tony : all right , please do . salerno : but real life is complicated . so 's this case . it 's not nearly as cut and dried as you make it out to be . we have what we call mitigating factors , you know , your husband being one of them . reva : okay , can we just keep this case between us , vinnie ? salerno : it 's just funny what gets called guilt and innocence , you know ? i mean , you take michelle here , for example . she lost her memory in a horrible explosion . i ca n't help but wondering if maybe her husband danny has taken advantage of that . michelle : what are you talking about ? reva : michelle ... vinnie , talk to me . salerno : i 'm thinking that maybe danny tried to paint his past as lily white , you know ? i mean , seeing as how you ca n't remember any of it , i would n't blame him , you know , if he held a few things back . michelle : he 's not keeping anything from me . reva : michelle ... okay , can we get back to the point here ? let 's talk about your purported connection to spaulding enterprises . salerno : i thought we were talking about danny santos . let me ask you something . is it true what i heard that when you guys met , danny was here on orders from his mother carmen to whack you ? reva : okay , that 's it . salerno : from murder to marriage . you 've got to admit , that 's quite a love story . michelle : you 're crazy ! you do n't even know what you 're talking about ! reva : we 're going to take a commercial break right now , and hopefully we 'll be back with more of this interview after a moment . okay , michelle , i told you to stay out of this , and i mean it . you know what he 's doing here . he knows that this interview wo n't win him an acquittal , so he 's going after you . he 's trying to trash danny and embarrass you because he 's got nothing to lose . michelle : well , i 'm not embarrassed . i 'm just mad . reva : look ! i am trying to protect you . michelle : io n't need protection . what 's he going to say to hurt us ? salerno : that 's right . nothing . i just want to chat . michelle : it 's not like we can get out of here anyway , reva , and i 'd really like to hear what he has to say . ross : ah , yes . that 'll be just fine . all right . you , too . bye - bye . sorry . i had to take that . city council president . jeffrey : that 's all right . now , listen , i 'd love to have this little chat , but right now i 'm kind of waiting for another appointment . ross : well , this wo n't take long . i just want you to take a look at this , and then get back to me . jeffrey : ross , this is your daughter 's file . you had it pulled ? ross : i wanted to see it for myself . it 's been a while since i 've gone through it . jeffrey : well , let 's see . your daughter killed a man . ross : o'neill ... jeffrey : and then she left the country to avoid arrest . ross : because i want your take on it as a prosecutor . jeffrey : for what purpose , ross ? ross : i 'm just curious how you would handle things , if for instance dinah came back to springfield . how aggressively would you pursue the case against her , seeing that there are now many different factors , circumstances , degree of intent , et cetera , et cetera . jeffrey : wait , wait , wait . hang on . ross , you realize that this conversation is inappropriate on about a dozen levels . ross : i was a father long before i was a mayor . i 'm speaking to you as a concerned parent , not as your boss . i need to know how ... how to move forward with dinah . jeffrey : you know where she is , do n't you ? ross : do n't ask me questions that i ca n't answer . jeffrey : ca n't ? or wo n't ? ross : this is not about what i know , it 's about what you would do as d.a . , given dinah 's situation . so you read that and you think about it and you give me a call . jeffrey ? < i do n't need to tell you , do i , that this stays between us ? dinah : i need to go . edmund : wait , wait . we just started . dinah : i 'll call you again soon . edmund : look here . you push for a meeting , insist we need to join forces to take care of the menace which is jeffrey o'neill and as soon as we shake on it , you leave . back up your claims . dinah : i have all the facts and the figures , if that 's what you 're worried about . edmund : how nice for you . let 's hear them . dinah : not now . edmund : why not ? dinah : because it 's just going to have to wait . rule number one : do n't touch me . i said i 'd call . gus : another one , please . bartender : so , when did you switch to whiskey ? gus : do i know you ? f * bartender : yeah . you used to come in here a lot , a couple years back ? you were strictly a beer guy then . gus : well , here 's to changing tastes . and changing times . neither one of which i 'm very good at . this is a nice place . a lot of drink and a lot of good food . it 's a nice ambiance . maybe i should have just stayed in here when i came here first and moved under the table . it 's dark and quiet . and no one knows your name . a guy could get comfortable in a place like this . harley : do n't bet on it . gus : how about this one ? harley : clean it ? gus : fill it . harley : do n't you think you 've had enough ? gus : enough in a bar ? bar : `` bring another round . `` that 's what `` bar `` stands for . all right then , tell me something , because that 's what bartenders do , they give advice . harley : what do you want to know ? gus : how do i get you back ? harley : gus was lying to me . cassie : i know . and it 's terrible . harley : uh - huh . well now he wants me back . he is sick with guilt . cassie : but ? harley : but it 's too little , too late . uh - uh . i wo n't do it . `` harley `` : sorry . ca n't do it . ca n't give you an answer to that one . gus : why not ? `` harley `` : there may not be an answer . gus : how can that be ? how can this be happening ? i mean , give me the answer , because if anybody knows the answer , it 's you . harley : you know , i fell in love with gus for all the right reasons . but it had to turn out that he was a spaulding , right ? they ruin everything . everything ! `` harley `` : do i have to tell you everything ? is n't it obvious ? you could n't figure out who to be loyal to , them or me . gus : i chose both.ñr `` harley `` : oh , the `` why - can't- i - have - it - all `` mentality . such ego . gus : it was n't ego . it was love . harley : what i would have liked is to have never known anyone named spaulding . or aitoro . ever . that would have saved me a lot of grief . cassie : harley , i know what gus did was awful , but he was n't trying to hurt you . harley : i feel so much better now . cassie : i 'm not trying to be insensitive , but gus loves you , harley . harley : he should have known , cassie . from his first day at spaulding , from the first time he was tying his tie and looking in the mirror , he should have been saying to himself , `` better be careful , gus . do n't let them change you . `` gus : love changes you . it changed me . it changed me into a gung - ho fiance and a loyal -- fiercely loyal -- son . `` harley `` : love is supposed to make your priorities clear . gus : so now what ? you 're going to exile me because i tried to do both and love you and my new family ? `` harley `` : yes . harley : okay , i know it is hypocritical for me to say that he should love me and not love his own family , but i do n't have to stand by and watch while he covers their crimes . and i wo n't do it . cassie : harley ? do you love gus ? gus : do you still love me ? `` harley `` : yeah . but that 's not enough . harley : but that 's not enough . gus : we need to talk about this . bartender : talk about what ? barfly # 1 : my wife does the exact same thing , you know . i 'll be sitting there in front of the tube , you know , watching the tv and joanie will walk in with that fish - eye look . ( laughter ) and say , `` hey , another game ? `` barfly # 2 : yeah , but when they want to watch another one of those tearjerker movies , that 's okay . barfly # 1 : that 's because `` that 's a story . `` it 's not sports . barfly # 2 : ( laughs ) it really puts the `` why `` in `` wives . `` gus : can you just shut up ? barfly # 1 : what 's your problem ? gus : my problem is people like you . with your baloney . why do n't you just scream it in my ear . barfly # 1 : this is a public place , all right ? you do n't like it , go home . gus : idiots like you , i do n't even ... how do you get wives , people like you ? ( laughter ) barfly # 1 : one time i caught joanie crying over -- get this -- a greeting card with a picture of a fawn on it . barfly # 2 : ( laughs ) gus : you know what it is ? you people ... you do n't deserve wives , guys like you . barfly # 2 : beat it . gus : no , i 'm not beating it . i 'm not beating it . you know , you 're going to have to make me . barfly # 1 : my pleasure . you 've got a big mouth for a little guy . i 'm going to have to teach you some manners . harley : please tell me this is not another wedding gift . i would have refused delivery , but look . there 's no return address . cassie : well , is there a card in there ? harley : yeah . ( gasps ) i know who this is from . cassie : who ? harley : it 's darci . this gets better and better . cassie : who are you calling ? harley : i 'm going to call frank . maybe he can track her down through the store where the gift came from . he 's not picking up . i do n't want to leave this on his voice mail . cassie : what ? what ? what are you thinking ? harley : you know what i 'm thinking ? i 'm thinking it 's one thing for me and gus to go down in flames , but frank and darci ? because of alex ? because she did this ? that 's not fair . and i hate this . here . do me a favor . would you lock up , please ? cassie : you do n't want company ? harley : no . there 's one last thing i need to return . jeffrey : you sure it 's her ? well , no , no , no , no , no . we do n't want her answering the door . we just want her to stay where she is . double check and then call me back , okay ? i 've got to go . mel : no need to hang up . i 'm on my way out . jeffrey : hello , doctor . or should i say counselor ? what 's your hurry ? mel : well , i 'm going to pick up my daughter from daycare and then to check on a friend . jeffrey : ooh , a friend . sounds mysterious . you 're not stepping out on old rick , are you ? mel : no . jeffrey : just a joke , mel . so , who 's the mysterious friend ? mel : harley , if you must know . cassie and i were worried about her calling off the wedding and all , so cassie went to check on her . jeffrey : good old mrs . winslow , ever the busybody . you 'd think she 'd have more important things to worry about . mel : i know . what is she thinking , worrying about a friend ? jeffrey : well , you know , sometimes friends can be cumbersome . sometimes they can have too many opinions and too many demands . anyway , as far as the cooper wedding fiasco goes , i would n't worry about harley . she 's pretty tough . mel : not as tough as she looks . jeffrey : well , if you want my advice , i would say give her some space . anyway , enough about that . how 's your sister - in - law doing ? mel : the same . memory has n't come back yet . jeffrey : well , maybe that 's a good thing . well , yeah . i mean , you know , sometimes it 's nice to start over . we all want to start over sometimes . this could be the best thing that ever happened to her . mel : nice way to rationalize it , seeing that you 're the one who set the whole nightmare in motion . you know , if it were n't for you , michelle would be home right now fixing her son some lunch . jeffrey : do n't lay that on me . that 's danny 's cross to bear , not mine , okay ? i did my best to keep michelle out of it . mel : no . if you did your best , you would have kept danny out of it . jeffrey : okay . whatever you say . whatever you say , mel . mel : you know , you really do n't care about anyone , do you ? you know , i 'm going to leave right now because i doubt you want to hear what i have to say to you . jeffrey : give my regards to dr . rick . well , what have you got ? okay , good . well , then , just keep an eye on her . you call me back if she so much as puts one foot out of that room . okay . good girl , dinah . you just stay put . dinah : no , i want you to stay in the apartment , okay ? and do n't take off the wig . just order some videos , take- out , you know ? that 's why i gave you the credit cards . how long ? well , however long it takes to convince certain people that dinah is safe at home .

( sniffles ) stephanie : she did n't have a choice , did she ? i do n't think she could have made any other decision and had any hope of holding onto ridge . taylor : yes , but now that rick has saved ridge 's life , i have to wonder if that might change things . pam : so , uh , what 's all the hoopla about ? new president ? i 'd say it 's about time after what you did to poor phoebe . steffy : hey , rick is n't responsible for what happened to my sister . pam : of course he is , steffy . c - could you help me with something , actually , for a minute over here ? steffy : ( sighs ) ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : ( clears throat ) pam : ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : hey , marcus , where 's your uniform ? marcus : it 's at the dry cleaners . why , what 's it to you ? you know , i heard there 's some big announcement today . and for steffy 's sake , i sure hope it 's that you 're leaving . steffy : hey . hey , marcus . look , i 'm sorry what happened between us , but please do not take it out on rick . he saved my dad 's life today . ridge : it 's wrong of you to suggest my daughter leave . brooke : i thought it would be a temporary solution . ridge : really ? a solution given by your son ? come on , brooke , you 're still being played by him . brooke : no , i 'm not . ridge : yes , you are . think about it . where did the suggestion of steffy leaving actually come from ? brooke : ridge , it was my idea from the beginning . ridge : knowing how happy i am to have steffy here working at this company , huh ? no , brooke . i think it came from somewhere else . honestly , was it your idea , or did rick plant the seed in your mind ? you may have seen some yaz commercials recently ... stephanie : wait a minute . you think that brooke would really renege on having rick leave with everything that she 'd lose ? taylor : well , her word has n't exactly been her honor . stephanie : she promised ridge that she 'd send that boy packing , and i 'm gon na see to it that she does . jarrett : you know , we 've been waiting quite a long time . uh , any idea when the press conference will begin ? pam : golly , i hope soon . it 's getting kind of hot in here . jarrett : mm . so what goes on around here behind closed doors ? hmm ? uh , off the record , of course . pam : off the record ? i 'm no dummy , jarrett . jarrett : ( sighs ) well , at least tell me why it 's taken forrester creations so long to come up with a new line . pam : pushy little fellow , are n't you ? ( laughs ) jarrett : well ... pam : i 'll let eric know you 're here . jarrett : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) pam : the , uh , press is here . they 're getting a little anxious . jake : hmm , yeah , you -- uh , you know what ? that 's my cue to leave , all right ? just get it . marcus : okay . katie : we 're running late . eric : ( sighs ) thorne : where are ridge and brooke ? felicia : and our erstwhile president rick ? eric : ( sighs ) rick : i still ca n't believe that you would step down from this company for me . do you have any idea how much that means to me ? steffy : it 's not fair they 're making you leave . you should be here . rick : ( sighs ) you know what ? i was talking to my mom about how much i really want to stay here , and i think that i was implying that -- that i should stay and -- and you should go . not -- not that i think that my career is more important than yours , and i know that this company is just as much your legacy as it is mine -- steffy : no , no , no . you have made a much bigger contribution than i have . you 've been with the company for years . i think the shipping department can manage without me for a few months . rick : ( laughs ) steffy : but hey , i 'm -- i 'm glad what you said to your mom . you deserve to be here . you 've earned it . i just really hope you 're able to stay . i really mean that . rick : i just do n't really like my chances right now . but , you know what i do know ? steffy : what ? ric i guess my work over at forrester international does n't matter -- that i brought in millions and millions of sales . i 'll accept this . if only one of us can stay , naturally , yeah , it would be ridge 's daughter . brooke : rick does feel he deserves the right to keep his position in the company . ridge : after everything he 's pulled ? brooke : he also feels he should be allowed to stay . but he said , if it could only be one of them , of course it would be steffy . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : he is not manipulating me , ridge . ridge : really ? brooke : if steffy wants to step aside for rick , why are you standing in her way ? ridge : because she does n't really want to leave . she 's only doing it because she feels she has to do it for rick . brooke : he 's not forcing her into anything . ridge : oh , come on . he 's got a hold over steffy . the guy 's a compulsive liar and manipulator . brooke : you 're talking about my son . ridge : you know i 'm right , brooke . otherwise you would n't have agreed to have him leave in the first place . i ca n't talk about this anymore . brooke : ridge -- ridge : look , i have bent over backwards to try and keep rick from coming between us . but my patience is really running out here . for you , me and our marriage , brooke , i 'm begging you . you 've got to let go of this . so guess what . . your body is a beautiful piece of engineering . ( indistinct conversations ) stephanie : is n't it time to start ? where 's ridge and brooke ? steffy : brooke has a very difficult decision to make . stephanie : what 's difficult ? she 's already made it . rick 's leaving the company . steffy : well , someone has to go , whether it 's rick or not . brooke : please , ridge , do n't let this affect our relationship . ridge : i wo n't , if you stop letting rick manipulate you . brooke : he 's not manipulating me , although i do understand your issues with him . ridge : then you should understand why i clearly can not accept any of this . brooke : he saved your life . ridge : brooke , you keep saying that , but what does that really mean here ? that if he 's as bad as i make him out to be , he would have just let me fall to my death ? come on , brooke . what , clearing the way to inherit the family dynasty and my daughter , too ? brooke : my son would never do that . do n't even think it . ridge : really ? really ? well , i looked in his eyes when he was holding me , and he hesitated . he thought about it . ( door opens ) katie : hey , um , sorry , but we have to start . ( whispers indistinctly ) brooke : what you 're saying -- ridge : it 's true , logan . it 's very true . i 'm telling you , he 's got to go . ( indistinct conversations ) eric : rick saved ridge 's life ? is that true ? brooke : yes . but it has n't changed anything for ridge . eric : so the decision has been made , and it still stands ? rick is leaving . all right . hello , everyone . thanks for being here . i know there 's a great deal of interest in when we 're going to deliver our overdue line . i 'll speak to that in a moment . first , i 'd like to say something about our executive staff here at forrester creations . many of you are aware that my son , rick forrester jr . , was awarded the presidency here at forrester , uh , based on his work at forrester international . i 'm very proud of everything that he was able to accomplish there , and that 's why , uh , it is with a great deal of , um -- brooke : we are both very proud of our son . brooke : ( sighs ) um , uh , forrester creations has experienced its own struggles and crises . but this is a family business , and we all are committed to seeing this legacy through . eric , he 's -- he 's been wonderful . he 's been very nurturing to all of the children , and he would bring them here when they were very little to learn and to grow . and i must say , each and every one of them , they 're very grateful for all of the opportunities that they 've had . i ... ( sighs ) came here to make an announcement , and , uh , i , uh -- ( laughs ) excuse me . i 'm sorry . um ... ( sniffles ) how -- how do we handle adversity ? by just giving up ? no . no , the forresters do n't give up . they do n't give up on anything . they do n't give up on anyone . but sometimes , there are problems that arise ... ( sighs ) and sometimes , they -- they ca n't be rectified . ( sighs ) so i 've -- ( sighs ) i 've had to make one of the most difficult decisions during my career here at forrester creations . i am going to make a life - changing announcement , something that is going to affect all of our lives and this company forever . | ridge grouses that they all ca n't stay at forrester creations and play nice . brooke ca n't ask his daughter to leave just so her son can stay . he wo n't allow that . it 's as simple as this , steffy stays , rick goes ! he accuses brooke of having rick manipulate her and plant this seed in her mind that steffy leave so rick can stay . he says that she knows how much he likes steffy working there , so she 's definitely going against his wishes to push for this . before he walks away , he tells her for the sake of their marriage that she has to let this go . owen wishes to speak with rick about the surf line , but rick brushes him off . he says the line has tanked and if he 's still president after today , rick will be firing him . felicia tells thorne she ca n't wait to celebrate and get little napoleon out of here . owen assures thorne that he is on his side and can be counted on . stephanie speaks with taylor and apprises her of the circumstances with the press conference today . rick manages to unnerve marcus in just a moment 's passing in the hall . steffy tells rick that he 's made a bigger contribution to forrester so of course he should stay and she should leave . pam tells eric that the press is getting antsy . eric starts the press conference , but with no warning brooke walks up and takes over the mike . regrettably she says she has a life changing announcement to make , one that will affect all of their lives and change forrester forever . | <s>[INST] ridge : logan , you are the eternal optimist , but it wo n't work . all of us together here just making nice -- i ca n't do that . i wo n't do that , because you 're son is never gon na stay away from my daughter . and i 'm sorry , but i ca n't just live like that . i ca n't do it . steffy : well , then i 'll leave the company . ridge : no , steffy . no . brooke , i ca n't believe you 'd do this . you 'd actually suggest that my daughter resign so your son can stay here . you know what it means to me to have her here . brooke : ridge , i do n't want her to leave . but if it 's the only way that my son can continue here at forrester -- ridge : no , brooke , you 've got it all wrong here . under no circumstances do i want rick to continue at forrester . we ca n't do it . he 's a negative divisive force around here , and i ca n't do that . he 's got to leave . as for steffy , you do n't want to leave forrester . you were willing to make this sacrifice for rick -- a stupid sacrifice for him , but i wo n't allow it . i just can't . she 's staying . have i made myself perfectly clear ? steffy stays . rick goes . thomas : oh , hey aunt pam . i 'm surprised to see you at your old desk here . pam : i 'm lucky to be anywhere . president rick does n't like me so much . thomas : i ca n't believe that guy .

( sighs ) owen : congratulations , man . that 's good news . thorne : yeah . thank you . once i take over , there 's going to be some changes around here , as well . owen : look , if you need anything from me , you let me know . thorne : well , you 're either loyal to the forresters , or you 're out . owen : loyalty to your family is no longer an issue for me . thorne : good . let 's keep it that way . owen : look , i know that the numbers for the surf line were n't exactly as high as we were forecasting , but i 'd love it if you 'd give me another chance to try to turn things around . thorne : well , i 've come to learn that you 're a very stand - up guy , so you take care of me , i 'll take care of you . owen : i got your back , man . you can count on me . thorne : good . taylor : do you honestly believe brooke is going to stick to this decision and just allow her son to be publicly dismissed ? stephanie : well , it 's -- it 's really out of her hands by now . although , i have to say , it 's -- it 's a really difficult position for any mother to be in . taylor : i 'm glad it 's not me . ( sniffles ) stephanie : she did n't have a choice , did she ? i do n't think she could have made any other decision and had any hope of holding onto ridge . taylor : yes , but now that rick has saved ridge 's life , i have to wonder if that might change things . pam : so , uh , what 's all the hoopla about ? new president ? i 'd say it 's about time after what you did to poor phoebe . steffy : hey , rick is n't responsible for what happened to my sister . pam : of course he is , steffy . c - could you help me with something , actually , for a minute over here ? steffy : ( sighs ) ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : ( clears throat ) pam : ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : hey , marcus , where 's your uniform ? marcus : it 's at the dry cleaners . why , what 's it to you ? you know , i heard there 's some big announcement today . and for steffy 's sake , i sure hope it 's that you 're leaving . steffy : hey . hey , marcus . look , i 'm sorry what happened between us , but please do not take it out on rick . he saved my dad 's life today . ridge : it 's wrong of you to suggest my daughter leave . brooke : i thought it would be a temporary solution . ridge : really ? a solution given by your son ? come on , brooke , you 're still being played by him . brooke : no , i 'm not . ridge : yes , you are . think about it . where did the suggestion of steffy leaving actually come from ? brooke : ridge , it was my idea from the beginning . ridge : knowing how happy i am to have steffy here working at this company , huh ? no , brooke . i think it came from somewhere else . honestly , was it your idea , or did rick plant the seed in your mind ? you may have seen some yaz commercials recently ... stephanie : wait a minute . you think that brooke would really renege on having rick leave with everything that she 'd lose ? taylor : well , her word has n't exactly been her honor . stephanie : she promised ridge that she 'd send that boy packing , and i 'm gon na see to it that she does . jarrett : you know , we 've been waiting quite a long time . uh , any idea when the press conference will begin ? pam : golly , i hope soon . it 's getting kind of hot in here . jarrett : mm . so what goes on around here behind closed doors ? hmm ? uh , off the record , of course . pam : off the record ? i 'm no dummy , jarrett . jarrett : ( sighs ) well , at least tell me why it 's taken forrester creations so long to come up with a new line . pam : pushy little fellow , are n't you ? ( laughs ) jarrett : well ... pam : i 'll let eric know you 're here . jarrett : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) pam : the , uh , press is here . they 're getting a little anxious . jake : hmm , yeah , you -- uh , you know what ? that 's my cue to leave , all right ? just get it . marcus : okay . katie : we 're running late . eric : ( sighs ) thorne : where are ridge and brooke ? felicia : and our erstwhile president rick ? eric : ( sighs ) rick : i still ca n't believe that you would step down from this company for me . do you have any idea how much that means to me ? steffy : it 's not fair they 're making you leave . you should be here . rick : ( sighs ) you know what ? i was talking to my mom about how much i really want to stay here , and i think that i was implying that -- that i should stay and -- and you should go . not -- not that i think that my career is more important than yours , and i know that this company is just as much your legacy as it is mine -- steffy : no , no , no . you have made a much bigger contribution than i have . you 've been with the company for years . i think the shipping department can manage without me for a few months . rick : ( laughs ) steffy : but hey , i 'm -- i 'm glad what you said to your mom . you deserve to be here . you 've earned it . i just really hope you 're able to stay . i really mean that . rick : i just do n't really like my chances right now . but , you know what i do know ? steffy : what ? ric i guess my work over at forrester international does n't matter -- that i brought in millions and millions of sales . i 'll accept this . if only one of us can stay , naturally , yeah , it would be ridge 's daughter . brooke : rick does feel he deserves the right to keep his position in the company . ridge : after everything he 's pulled ? brooke : he also feels he should be allowed to stay . but he said , if it could only be one of them , of course it would be steffy . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : he is not manipulating me , ridge . ridge : really ? brooke : if steffy wants to step aside for rick , why are you standing in her way ? ridge : because she does n't really want to leave . she 's only doing it because she feels she has to do it for rick . brooke : he 's not forcing her into anything . ridge : oh , come on . he 's got a hold over steffy . the guy 's a compulsive liar and manipulator . brooke : you 're talking about my son . ridge : you know i 'm right , brooke . otherwise you would n't have agreed to have him leave in the first place . i ca n't talk about this anymore . brooke : ridge -- ridge : look , i have bent over backwards to try and keep rick from coming between us . but my patience is really running out here . for you , me and our marriage , brooke , i 'm begging you . you 've got to let go of this . so guess what . . your body is a beautiful piece of engineering . ( indistinct conversations ) stephanie : is n't it time to start ? where 's ridge and brooke ? steffy : brooke has a very difficult decision to make . stephanie : what 's difficult ? she 's already made it . rick 's leaving the company . steffy : well , someone has to go , whether it 's rick or not . brooke : please , ridge , do n't let this affect our relationship . ridge : i wo n't , if you stop letting rick manipulate you . brooke : he 's not manipulating me , although i do understand your issues with him . ridge : then you should understand why i clearly can not accept any of this . brooke : he saved your life . ridge : brooke , you keep saying that , but what does that really mean here ? that if he 's as bad as i make him out to be , he would have just let me fall to my death ? come on , brooke . what , clearing the way to inherit the family dynasty and my daughter , too ? brooke : my son would never do that . do n't even think it . ridge : really ? really ? well , i looked in his eyes when he was holding me , and he hesitated . he thought about it . ( door opens ) katie : hey , um , sorry , but we have to start . ( whispers indistinctly ) brooke : what you 're saying -- ridge : it 's true , logan . it 's very true . i 'm telling you , he 's got to go . ( indistinct conversations ) eric : rick saved ridge 's life ? is that true ? brooke : yes . but it has n't changed anything for ridge . eric : so the decision has been made , and it still stands ? rick is leaving . all right . hello , everyone . thanks for being here . i know there 's a great deal of interest in when we 're going to deliver our overdue line . i 'll speak to that in a moment . first , i 'd like to say something about our executive staff here at forrester creations . many of you are aware that my son , rick forrester jr . , was awarded the presidency here at forrester , uh , based on his work at forrester international . i 'm very proud of everything that he was able to accomplish there , and that 's why , uh , it is with a great deal of , um -- brooke : we are both very proud of our son . brooke : ( sighs ) um , uh , forrester creations has experienced its own struggles and crises . but this is a family business , and we all are committed to seeing this legacy through . eric , he 's -- he 's been wonderful . he 's been very nurturing to all of the children , and he would bring them here when they were very little to learn and to grow . and i must say , each and every one of them , they 're very grateful for all of the opportunities that they 've had . i ... ( sighs ) came here to make an announcement , and , uh , i , uh -- ( laughs ) excuse me . i 'm sorry . um ... ( sniffles ) how -- how do we handle adversity ? by just giving up ? no . no , the forresters do n't give up . they do n't give up on anything . they do n't give up on anyone . but sometimes , there are problems that arise ... ( sighs ) and sometimes , they -- they ca n't be rectified . ( sighs ) so i 've -- ( sighs ) i 've had to make one of the most difficult decisions during my career here at forrester creations . i am going to make a life - changing announcement , something that is going to affect all of our lives and this company forever .Summarize.[/INST]ridge grouses that they all ca n't stay at forrester creations and play nice . brooke ca n't ask his daughter to leave just so her son can stay . he wo n't allow that . it 's as simple as this , steffy stays , rick goes ! he accuses brooke of having rick manipulate her and plant this seed in her mind that steffy leave so rick can stay . he says that she knows how much he likes steffy working there , so she 's definitely going against his wishes to push for this . before he walks away , he tells her for the sake of their marriage that she has to let this go . owen wishes to speak with rick about the surf line , but rick brushes him off . he says the line has tanked and if he 's still president after today , rick will be firing him . felicia tells thorne she ca n't wait to celebrate and get little napoleon out of here . owen assures thorne that he is on his side and can be counted on . stephanie speaks with taylor and apprises her of the circumstances with the press conference today . rick manages to unnerve marcus in just a moment 's passing in the hall . steffy tells rick that he 's made a bigger contribution to forrester so of course he should stay and she should leave . pam tells eric that the press is getting antsy . eric starts the press conference , but with no warning brooke walks up and takes over the mike . regrettably she says she has a life changing announcement to make , one that will affect all of their lives and change forrester forever .</s> | 3,618 |

[ scene_break ] jack : carly may not like the situation , but she understands . janet : well , i sure wish she 'd explain it to me . hold on . hold on . uh , yeah . there 's nothing about child custody in here . jack : yeah , 'cause we agreed that we would take care of that after the baby was born . janet : i 've changed my mind . jack : why ? janet : because we talked about this before liberty started responding to treatment , and -- and -- and we decided to get pregnant to save her life , you know . i was n't really thinking straight . jack : well , you 're still not . liberty may be doing better , but between her and dusty , this is not the time to be making big decisions . janet : i know , but this baby is n't going to wait for things to calm down before it 's born ! i want this taken care of before we go any further . jack : janet , the baby was n't a mistake . we -- we both agreed that this was the right thing to do . we talked about this . janet : for liberty . jack : yes ! i would n't have signed on if i was n't 100 % committed . now that he or she is a reality , i got to tell you , i 'm kind of looking forward to being a parent again . janet : but what if liberty does n't need the donor ? jack : what does that have to do with anything ? a commitment 's a commitment ! it 's not going to change just 'cause we signed that paper ! janet : so , you and me -- it was n't a complete waste after all ? jack : not even close . okay , so we did n't make it as mr. and mrs. snyder . we can still be fantastic parents . janet : yes , we can .

[ stammers ] it could . perhaps it could , but i think moving , leaving town has got to be our last resort . nicole : okay . daniel : okay , okay . nicole : you 're right . it 's just that that ... that dream and everything else that 's going on , i guess it 's just driving me crazy . daniel : i know it is . i know it is , and i know you 're scared , but , i mean , for us to just pack up and move west ... i do n't know . i mean , my mother 's here , and my practice ... nicole : i know . daniel : is right here . nicole : i know . i know how devoted you are to maggie . daniel : look , besides , you know , there are plenty of other ways this could all play out . nicole : [ scoffs ] that was a stupid idea . i know i have a lot of those . daniel : no , listen . listen to me . i made a promise to you that i will protect you and that baby , and i am going to stick by that . you have my word . nicole : i know i do . and i 'm more grateful than you can imagine . daniel : okay , i got to -- i got to , um -- i got to run to work , all right ? so , um , you 're gon na -- you 're gon na be okay ? nicole : yeah , sure , i 'll be -- i 'll be fine . daniel : great . well , i will , um -- i will see you later , and then we 'll , um -- we 'll look for a place for you to stay , okay ? nicole : okay . daniel : we 'll figure this out . okay .

sonny : what ? julian : i 'm a little surprised you had your guards send me through . i just assumed you 'd have me met with guns drawn and turned away . sonny : i 'm -- i 'm never afraid to meet my enemies face - to - face . so , what are you doing here , julian ? [ door closes ] sonny : you gon na kill me ? [ scene_break ] franco : how hard can it be to sketch feet ? apparently it 's very difficult . [ sighs ] take it easy on yourself , franco . it 's not easy to be inspired . and it 's a good thing , right , that elizabeth 's feeling better and that she does n't need you 24/7 anymore ... 'cause it gives you plenty more time to practice your foot - sketching technique . [ rhythmic knock on door ] elizabeth : hi . franco : hi . [ scene_break ] lucy : mmm , mmm , mmm . thank you , real - estate gods . thank you for that duplex short sale , 'cause now my finances are back on the block , and i can run my credit again at the metro court . mmm ! tracy : traitor ! lucy : hi ! excuse me ? tracy : general hospital is on the chopping block , and you are the executioner . [ scene_break ] curtis : thanks for meeting me , man . tj : sure , man . curtis : it 's good to see you . tj : and you . and i apologize in advance if i 'm a little out of it . this morgan thing has been really crazy . curtis : yeah . tj : [ sighs ] curtis : look , t , man , i 'm sorry about your friend . that 's actually why i asked you to meet me . i know you were the last one to see him alive . tj : [ sighs ] yeah . that 's the weirdest part to think about . when morgan drove out of the floating rib parking lot , no question i was flipped out . i mean , he 's driving a stolen car . but still , he done plenty of crazy stuff before , and i was worried , but not scared , you know ? i just had no idea that 'd be the last time i 'd see him alive . curtis : i know that 's strange , man . but t , tell me -- what exactly did you see last night ? [ scene_break ] carly : [ crying ] [ doorbell rings ] carly : it 's not a good time . jason : carly , it 's me . carly : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : what do you think alan would say if he knew you were trying to sell general hospital off to the highest bidder ? or my father ? oh , my god . he must be rolling over in his grave . lucy : you have a lot of nerve . your family is the reason the hospital 's in this mess . tracy : what ? ! monica and i are the only two people that are trying to save it . lucy : well , if it had n't been for your deranged serial - killer ex - husband , the board would have never had to close the hospital in the first place ! tracy : shh ! [ scene_break ] franco : what are you doing here ? elizabeth : well , i was making some treats for the boys , which i happened to notice you enjoyed while you were taking care of me , so i thought maybe you were jonesing for some . franco : are you accusing me of stealing your boys ' treats ? elizabeth : as much as those boys eat , there 's no way they could polish off an entire pan by themselves . franco : i do n't know . they 're really good . and just for the record , i did ask their permission before i ate all of them , and they said it was okay . elizabeth : i know . franco : [ gasps ] oh , boy . thanks . elizabeth : you 're welcome . franco : come on in . come in . sit down . make yourself at home . sorry about the mess . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : no , really . you should be off of your feet . elizabeth : oh , i 've been off my feet for weeks , and i 'm tired of looking at the same four walls . no , really . please , stop . it 's okay . my house is much messier than this . franco : it 's fine . it 's all gone . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : [ chuckles ] your house is messy , right ? [ both chuckle ] franco : because you have an excuse . a serial killer tried to push you down a flight of stairs . me , i have no excuse . i 'm unemployed . i have plenty of time to keep this place tidy . i just -- i lack motivation . elizabeth : but i see you 've been working on something . franco : oh , yeah . your art . that is my best work ever . those are foot doodles . i 'm trying to brush up on my technique , so now if something catches my eye , i just sketch it . elizabeth : like this ? [ scene_break ] tj : as soon as i realized morgan had been drinking , that was the warning sign . i know he 's not supposed to have alcohol with his meds , so it was n't that morgan was just drunk . it 's that he was spiraling , starting a manic episode . curtis : okay , and from what i heard , you did everything you could to keep him from getting in that car , and you got punched for it . tj : so what ? i 've taken plenty of punches for a lot dumber reasons . i should have just been stronger with morgan . more aggressive , you know ? not in a mean way , but just say , `` dude , you know you 're not supposed to be drinking . what 's going on ? talk to me . `` curtis : tj , do n't beat yourself up for not being psychic . you had no way of knowing that he was gon na actually take that car , much less know that it was wired to explode . now , all you could do is confront the situations that are presented to you , and you did that . you were being a friend . nobody can ask more of you than that . tj : it 's just all so wrong and messed up , man . it 's not enough that morgan died last night ... that he lost his life , that ... that everything that he wanted to do or that he was gon na do is never gon na happen . but on top of all that , they 're saying that , uh , mr. c might have been the one that planted the bomb . curtis : is -- is that what your mom thinks ? are they officially investigating sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : [ crying ] how did you know i was here ? jason : uh , michael called me . told me that you moved out with joss . carly : yeah , she 's -- she 's upstairs . i just , um ... i could n't even take my suitcase upstairs . i could n't put one foot in front of the other . i do n't know how to do this , jason . i do n't know -- i do n't know how to do this at all . i do n't know how to get josslyn through this . jason : did you tell josslyn that sonny was responsible for morgan ? carly : no . jason : okay . carly : kristina told her . josslyn 's always been suspicious . now she knows that sonny killed her brother , so it 's fine . [ sniffles ] jason : carly , why are you here ? carly : [ sighs ] where am i supposed to be , jason ? jason : you 're supposed to be at home with sonny . you both lost your son , and you need each other . [ scene_break ] julian : i did n't come here to kill you , sonny . no , i came here to offer my condolences . sonny : [ laughs ] that 's very thoughtful of you . really . it really is . julian : well ... i know we 're both enemies , sonny , and we have been since everyone realized that derek wells was just an alias and i 'm really julian jerome . but just because we 're enemies , that does n't mean we , uh -- we ca n't act like human beings . morgan was a good kid . and i know you still hold a grudge for the time that he came to work for me . sonny : i 'm aware of morgan 's history with you and ava . i do n't give a damn about that . all i care about is what you want right now . julian : beyond offering my condolences ? there is one other thing . sonny : of course . [ sighs ] julian : we need to talk , sonny ... because we both know that bomb that killed morgan was meant to kill me . [ scene_break ] franco : mm . i 'm not one to sit still . but i wanted to be there with you in the hospital , so ... i distracted myself by drawing . elizabeth : what else did you draw ? franco : oh , lots of stuff . elizabeth : besides me ? franco : okay . you with the heart - rate monitor and you with the biohazard container and ... elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : you have such a beautiful face . and you looked so peaceful . and it took my mind off of how utterly panicked i was . elizabeth : i hope you know how appreciative i am that you stayed by my bedside , and you made me look kind of good in this drawing . franco : yeah , well , i draw what i see . elizabeth : oh , come on . we both know that 's not how it works . you 're the artist . you decide how it looks . that 's what i really miss about painting . franco : you do owe me a painting of myself -- me . you do . elizabeth : i do ? franco : no , you said that , and i 'm gon na hold you -- we can get it out of the way right now . i could pose for you kate - winslet - style , `` titanic `` vibe . elizabeth : you want to get naked and put a diamond around your neck ? franco : you are the artist . like you just said , you get to decide . unfortunately , my masterpiece is gon na have to wait because my bank account wants me to go back to work sooner than later . [ scene_break ] tracy : no one knows better than me the damage that paul did to general hospital and port charles , but lest it slip your mind , he tried to kill monica and me . lucy : okay , i am sorry if i suggested you were any part of paul 's actions . of course , you are not responsible . tracy : so , then why do n't we focus on what 's important ? trying to reopen the hospital , not selling it off to the highest bidder . lucy : then do n't fight me . i 'll tell you what . if you really want to save general hospital , very simple solution . buy the hospital yourself . [ scene_break ] tj : look , my mom does n't tell me that much about her work . you 'd have to ask her about the investigation into morgan 's death . curtis : maybe i will . what about you ? did you see anything out of the ordinary that night ? tj : why are you so interested in this ? i mean , it 's not like you were friends with morgan . curtis : you know -- it 's that cop thing , you know ? it 's the way my brain is wired , you know ? i 'm just trained to be curious , you know ? figure stuff out . tj : you 're conducting your own private investigation , are n't you ? you 're trying to find out what really happened . curtis : you know i ca n't reveal if i 've been hired to do a private job . tj : okay . but i know who hired you . [ scene_break ] nelle : yeah , no , carly , everything 's totally fine . avery 's perfectly okay . carly : okay , thank you . nelle , i really wanted to bring avery with me , but i ... do n't have custody . nelle : no , i 'm happy to keep an eye on avery , carly . besides , uh , everything 's super - quiet here , anyway . carly : okay . thanks again . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're really gon na accuse me of planting that bomb in your car ? you 're gon na put me on notice ? take your best shot ! julian : i do n't want revenge , sonny . we 've already had too much loss . our business ... [ sighs ] business has already spilled enough blood on both sides . sonny : both sides ? what do you mean , `` both sides `` ? julian : luke 's hit man shot lucas last year , and now you 've lost morgan . so the last thing i want to do right now , sonny , is answer violence with more violence . we need to end this cycle right now . sonny : why should i care what you want , julian ? ! julian : because it works to our mutual advantage . you planted that bomb in my car to kill me , sonny . sonny : [ chuckles ] julian : but i 'm not gon na retaliate . and neither are you . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] jason : you know that if you 're worried about avery , there 's a simple solution -- go home . carly : i ca n't go home . ca n't go home . every time i look at sonny ... all i can think about is how i 'm never gon na see morgan again . jason : sonny told you that he called off that hit , right ? carly : it does n't matter ! what does that matter , jason ? we both know that sonny 's the one who ordered the hit . i ca n't go back there . [ voice breaking ] can not go back to that house . jason : look . [ sighs ] no matter how it happened , sonny lost his child , too . and both of you are feeling this unimaginable pain , and only the two of you know what it 's like , and you need each other . carly : no , no , no . see , i have you . i have you , and that 's all i need . jason : i really wish that i was enough , but i 'm not . carly : you are . jason : i am not . i ... i wish i could take this burden from you . i wish that i could relinquish this anguish . i wish we could sit on that couch , and we could remember every single moment of morgan 's life , and at the same time , i could find a way for you to move forward , but i ca n't do it . sonny can . [ scene_break ] franco : if you 're going back to work , that means gh is officially reopened , and that 's great . i mean , nobody sent me an e - mail , but that 's a battle for a different day . i am so happy for you that you 're going back to work . elizabeth : no , thank you , and i wish that were the case because i really miss being there -- as a nurse , obviously . not a patient . but even with paul behind bars for all the murders , i have n't heard anything about the hospital reopening . and i need a paycheck , like , yesterday . franco : well , why do n't you just pick up some shifts at mercy until gh is up and running ? elizabeth : mercy is all staffed up , and so are the other surrounding hospitals . i think i 'm gon na have to widen my search . i 've heard good things about rochester . [ scene_break ] tracy : you want me to buy general hospital ? lucy : yeah . you 're always talking about all the good general hospital does and how much it means to your family . well , this is your chance . you could pay it back , and you could help the future generations the way the hospital 's helped your family , and for that matter , the way it helped you . did n't dr. munro and dr. finn recently save your life ? tracy : yeah . that 's why i want to save the hospital . lucy : all right , then save it already . put your money where your big , fat mouth is and save it yourself . [ scene_break ] curtis : t , uh , how might you know who i 'm working for ? tj : following the logic . you 're asking me a bunch of questions . you ca n't tell me who hired you , but it must be someone who has personal interest in who killed morgan . i mean , it 's pretty obvious . morgan was driving julian 's car . curtis : yeah . t , uh , like i said , you can keep guessing . i 'm not gon na tell you , right or wrong . tj : it 's sonny . you 're working for sonny . curtis : [ chuckles ] tj : i mean , sonny knows the cops are pointing the finger at him , so he hired you to get the truth , find out who cost morgan his life . okay . [ chuckles ] it 's cool . you already said you were n't gon na tell me , and that 's fine . i get it . i 'm just happy that you 're out there digging , 'cause i want to know who did this to morgan . curtis : i 'm just trying to find the truth . [ scene_break ] sonny : you taking the high road ? you kidding me ? you 've been gunning for me since you got to port charles . first , you put a hit out on duke . then when it looked like carly was gon na turn you in , you had your own lieutenant murdered . then you put your -- a knife to your wife 's throat 'cause you want to kill her , too , right ? huh ? julian : [ sighs ] sonny : so , now you 're standing there telling me that we 've both suffered enough . violence leads to more violence . well , let me tell you something -- you caused it ! julian : you want to keep coming after me ? i 'm gon na come after you . you got it ? and who are you willing to sacrifice as more collateral damage ? kristina ? huh ? michael ? josslyn ? carly ? where does it end ? and are you willing to live ... with the idea of losing your wife ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know sonny 's in pain . part of me wants to ... make him feel better and let him do the same for me . jason : then why do n't you try ? carly : [ voice breaking ] because it wo n't change anything . morgan will still be dead . jason : so ... ... now you 're willing to lose the father of your kids , too ? the man you built a life with ? carly : [ sighs ] what life ? sonny killed my son . god , i ca n't believe i 'm -- sonny killed my son , jason ! god . now i got to keep josslyn safe . i got to take care of her . i ca n't go back there . jason : listen to me . all sonny 's ever wanted done is keep his family safe , to keep you safe , to keep his kids safe . carly : he did n't keep morgan safe ! [ scene_break ] franco : so , no . i - i 'm sorry , but i - i ca n't let you move away . elizabeth : well , and i do n't want to leave , but i need an income , and i have no information on when or if the hospital is gon na open , unless you 've heard something i have n't . franco : me ? no . i mean , my only contact is dr. obrecht , and monica 's not gon na tell her anything . [ sighs ] i 'll tell you what . why do n't i put some shoes on ? and we can talk about this more . can i -- can i take you out to metro court ? and my treat . elizabeth : why do n't we go to kelly 's since we 're both not working ? franco : it 's okay . it 's still early , so we can order off the happy hour menu . [ both chuckle ] elizabeth : okay . i 'm in if you are . franco : me ? are you kidding ? half - price crab cakes . what could possibly go wrong ? let 's do it . [ scene_break ] carly : when i married sonny , i knew exactly who he was . every time . but i just thought this time was gon na be different , you know ? sonny spent time in a wheelchair , and i just thought that ... i thought that he would handle things differently this time , that he would be able to control the violence . i mean , how naive is that , right ? and why the hell did morgan get in julian 's car ? ! jason : nobody knows . nobody knows . carly : sonny 's not gon na change , jason , okay ? and he 's never lied about who he is . i 'm the one who 's been lying to myself . jason : okay , you need to stop that . nobody can fault you for this . carly : i can . i 'm a mother . my first instinct should be to protect my kids . you know ? to risk my life to keep them safe . and i did n't do that . i married a man who brought violence around them . i mean , i did n't even learn my lesson when michael spent a year in a coma . no , i did n't . now morgan 's dead . morgan 's dead . [ breathes deeply ] i 'm never gon na forgive myself . [ voice breaking ] never going to forgive myself . [ scene_break ] tj : i know that you ca n't say anything , but for me , i 'm glad that you 're looking into this for mr. c . curtis : why do you say that ? tj : because . i mean , that means he did n't do it , right ? i mean , if he was the one who ordered that bomb , why hire you ? there 's a reason everyone thinks he 's the number - one suspect , but for a father to be responsible for the death of his son , i do n't know how you go on . curtis : you know , it 's terrible when someone so young dies , especially like that . but if there 's anything good that can come out of this kind of tragedy , it 's to appreciate what you have . and i 'm -- i 'm so lucky to have you back in my life , man . really . i want to spend more time with you and everything . in fact , why do n't we -- i do n't know -- take in a bills game sometime , you know ? tj : okay . curtis : yeah . tj : i like that . i 'm with that . curtis : all right . tj : but , look , i got to get up out of here , man . i got to hit the books . curtis : oh , yes , yes . go make us proud . tj : yeah , man . you know , i got to do it . hey , but it was nice catching up with you . curtis : yeah , my man . yes , sir . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : okay , i 'm not having this conversation . i have a business to run -- elq . lucy : yeah , i - i thought that michael ran elq . tracy : he does , but unfortunately his brother got killed last night . lucy : i know . i did hear that . tracy : so , as we both know , business does not have any respect for grief , and we did not get elq back to watch it flounder . i have to concentrate on the company . lucy : okey - dokey . if that 's your final answer . but i need you to know that this third - party buyer is very motivated , really pushing for that sale , so if general hospital is to survive , then it has to reopen in the very near future . tracy : well , we both know that 's not gon na happen . not as long as two of the attacks at the hospital remain unsolved . lucy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : i know that you tried to kill me , sonny . that 's obvious , okay ? right , but , uh , in our business , it would be normal for me to threaten retaliation , right ? but that 's not why i 'm here , okay ? i 'm simply suggesting that we lay down our arms . sonny ... come on , man . let 's just have morgan 's funeral be the last one . let 's at least ... [ sighs ] let 's at least honor morgan by stopping the war . sonny : you talking to me about honor after you -- you recruited my son to work against me ? after you told me to put a leash on him less than two weeks ago ? you -- you want to talk to me about honor after you put a knife to your wife 's throat ? that 's offensive to me . and the fact that you 're in my house breathing my air , telling me lies -- that 's even more offensive . the fact that my ... my beautiful boy is dead ... ... is a violation of everything that is right and just . and if you do n't get out of my house right now , i might just balance the scales and end your miserable life because i can . julian : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] nelle : mr. corinthos ? are you all right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we just heard you tell lucy the hospital ca n't reopen because the murders have n't been solved ? i do n't understand . i thought the police said paul hornsby did it . tracy : he has an alibi for the attacks on bobbie and lucas . elizabeth : well , that 's creepy to think there 's more than one person attacking people . tracy : that 's why the hospital ca n't reopen . elizabeth : and the police do n't have any other suspects ? tracy : not that i know of . and while port charles is a lot safer with paul behind bars , it 's not enough to reopen the hospital . now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to commune with my martinis . elizabeth : well , it looks like rochester is more of a possibility than ever . maybe i should call patrick and robin , see if the hospital they co - chair in berkeley is hiring . franco : berkeley , california ? i know cameron would be happy to be living in the same town as emma . franco : okay , well , i do n't mean to disappoint cam , but i think i might have another solution that allows you to stay local . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i ... uh ... i forgot you were here . how 's , uh , avery ? nelle : sound asleep . sonny : so , i guess you heard ? nelle : yeah . do you want me to go clean it up ? sonny : no . no , no , no , no . that 's -- i got my men to do that . you go ahead , you go home . i got -- i got to -- i 'm not very good company . nelle : you know , i think i should stay here for avery . you 've already got so much on your plate , and , you know ... i already have the fold - out bed set up in her room . sonny : yeah , thank you . nelle : why -- why do n't you get some rest ? you look exhausted . sonny : yeah . yeah , okay . hey , uh ... i 'm glad you 're here for avery . [ scene_break ] carly : you should go home . you should go home and be with sam and the boys . jason : no . i do n't want you to be alone . carly : josslyn 's here . and ... i need to go upstairs and be with her and be a better mother to her than i was to morgan . jason : hey , look . you can grieve any way you feel you need to grieve , but do n't lie to yourself . you 're a great mom . morgan knew it . your kids know it . carly : if i 'm such a great mom , why is morgan dead ? jason : [ sighs ] because something completely unexpected and terrible happened , and we have no idea how . we do n't know how to explain it . carly : it 's not really complicated , you know ? sonny put a bomb in a car that killed our son . jason : sonny called it off . carly : not in time . jason : no , not in time . [ sniffles ] but i 'm gon na ask some questions , and i 'm gon na figure out why these things happened the way they did . carly : it 's not gon na bring my little boy back . jason : i know it 's not , and i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] but maybe if i can find out why this happened even after sonny called it off , maybe it 'll give us all just a little bit of closure . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] hey . thanks for meeting me here . just wanted to check on your progress . curtis : you just hired me a few hours ago . julian : well , for what i 'm paying you , i have a right to frequent updates . so , do you have any details on how that bomb ended up in my car ? and better yet , who put it there ? curtis : i 'm working on it . julian : [ chuckles ] okay , well , i 'm gon na need some more assurances than `` i 'm working on it . `` curtis : my nephew tj was the last one to see morgan alive , so i 'm gon na start there . julian : hmm . now , that right there is a solid beginning ... because as long as i have the truth , i can take sonny down . i just saw sonny . the man 's a wreck . curtis : man . would n't you be ? julian : [ sighs ] curtis : if , uh , like you said , sonny put the car bomb in your car to explode , and he wound up killing his own son , yeah , i 'd be a mess , too . julian : my point is , his guard is down . now is the perfect time to investigate him . curtis : unless he 's too far gone to worry about the consequences and decides to just come gunning for you . julian : mnh - mnh . sonny 's a long way away from plotting another hit against me , trust me . curtis : and what are your plans for him ? julian : [ chuckles ] i 'm certainly not planning on killing sonny . since my recent activities almost landed me an extended stay in prison , it 's just not worth taking that chance . to tell you the truth here , curtis , what i really need to do is focus on rebuilding my life . you know -- alexis and ... my kids , my grandson . all of that . and making sure that sonny spends the rest of his days rotting in prison . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ grunts ] nelle : mr. corinthos ? can i come in ? sonny : yeah , sure . nelle : i made you some tea . sonny : thank you . nelle : just ... i was on my way to check on avery . i 'm all set to read her her favorite bedtime story if she starts to fuss . sonny : yes . morgan used to read her the stories , and ... he 'd act out every part , and she -- she loved that . nelle : well , i 'll do my best . it 's chamomile . it 's supposed to be calming . sonny : thank you . that 's nice . nelle : well , i 'll be with avery if you need anything . sonny : can you do me a favor ? nelle : mm - hmm . sonny : can you shut the door ? [ door closes ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i know your heart 's in the right place , jason . but i do n't care why it happened . i do n't care that sonny called off the hit . i do n't care why someone did n't get the message . i do n't care about any of it ... ... 'cause in the morning , i 'm gon na wake up and for a couple seconds , i 'm gon na forget that morgan 's dead , and i might even smile . and then it 's all gon na hit me -- that my baby is gone . and my husband 's responsible , so there 's -- there is n't closure for that . jason : is sonny the only one who 's responsible ? because i tried to save him , carly . i chased after him when he stole that damn car . and i talked to him on a cell phone , and i got him to trust me enough to pull over . he parked that car as i got out of mine , and i told him that i would come to him , i would get him help . he said no . he wanted to come to me . and i felt relieved 'cause he suddenly was n't manic . he was calm . i thought everything was gon na be okay . and it should have been okay . but then he got out of the car . and i should have been able to save him , and i 'm sorry i was n't . [ breathes deeply ] carly : did i ever tell you how happy i was that i named morgan after you ? jason : [ chuckles ] carly : do you remember that ? you were so against it when i told you the idea . you said morgan corinthos was too close to corinthos - morgan and that it would be confusing for everybody . jason : yeah , but you did it anyway . carly : of course , i did . [ chuckles ] you named michael after sonny , so i thought it was perfect to name morgan after you . jason : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . carly : [ sighs ] look at that . now all we have left is a name . [ scene_break ] lucy : i really , really , really think you should reconsider my idea . tracy : enough ! i had no idea that beneath that flighty exterior beats the heart of a jungle animal laser - focused on her prey . lucy : really ? that kind of surprises me , 'cause did n't you learn that long ago when i stole your brother away from monica ? tracy : that was so long ago i actually forgot what you 're capable of . lucy : okay , well , then i suggest you take my proposal very seriously , because think about it -- if you buy the hospital , it would n't just be the quartermaine wing . it 'd be the quartermaine hospital . it would n't be gh . it 'd be qh . wait a minute . let 's go whole hog , shall we ? picture this . the tracy angelica quartermaine hospital ! [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you heard tracy . she made it very clear . the hospital ca n't reopen until the attacks on bobbie and lucas have been solved . franco : i heard what tracy said . but i might know someone who might know something about what really happened .

[ sighs ] take it easy on yourself , franco . it 's not easy to be inspired . and it 's a good thing , right , that elizabeth 's feeling better and that she does n't need you 24/7 anymore ... 'cause it gives you plenty more time to practice your foot - sketching technique . [ rhythmic knock on door ] elizabeth : hi . franco : hi .

[ scene_break ] franco : what are you doing here ? elizabeth : well , i was making some treats for the boys , which i happened to notice you enjoyed while you were taking care of me , so i thought maybe you were jonesing for some . franco : are you accusing me of stealing your boys ' treats ? elizabeth : as much as those boys eat , there 's no way they could polish off an entire pan by themselves . franco : i do n't know . they 're really good . and just for the record , i did ask their permission before i ate all of them , and they said it was okay . elizabeth : i know . franco : [ gasps ] oh , boy . thanks . elizabeth : you 're welcome . franco : come on in . come in . sit down . make yourself at home . sorry about the mess . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : no , really . you should be off of your feet . elizabeth : oh , i 've been off my feet for weeks , and i 'm tired of looking at the same four walls . no , really . please , stop . it 's okay . my house is much messier than this . franco : it 's fine . it 's all gone . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : [ chuckles ] your house is messy , right ? [ both chuckle ] franco : because you have an excuse . a serial killer tried to push you down a flight of stairs . me , i have no excuse . i 'm unemployed . i have plenty of time to keep this place tidy . i just -- i lack motivation . elizabeth : but i see you 've been working on something . franco : oh , yeah . your art . that is my best work ever . those are foot doodles . i 'm trying to brush up on my technique , so now if something catches my eye , i just sketch it . elizabeth : like this ? [ scene_break ] tj : as soon as i realized morgan had been drinking , that was the warning sign . i know he 's not supposed to have alcohol with his meds , so it was n't that morgan was just drunk . it 's that he was spiraling , starting a manic episode . curtis : okay , and from what i heard , you did everything you could to keep him from getting in that car , and you got punched for it . tj : so what ? i 've taken plenty of punches for a lot dumber reasons . i should have just been stronger with morgan . more aggressive , you know ? not in a mean way , but just say , `` dude , you know you 're not supposed to be drinking . what 's going on ? talk to me . `` curtis : tj , do n't beat yourself up for not being psychic . you had no way of knowing that he was gon na actually take that car , much less know that it was wired to explode . now , all you could do is confront the situations that are presented to you , and you did that . you were being a friend . nobody can ask more of you than that . tj : it 's just all so wrong and messed up , man . it 's not enough that morgan died last night ... that he lost his life , that ... that everything that he wanted to do or that he was gon na do is never gon na happen . but on top of all that , they 're saying that , uh , mr. c might have been the one that planted the bomb . curtis : is -- is that what your mom thinks ? are they officially investigating sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : [ crying ] how did you know i was here ? jason : uh , michael called me . told me that you moved out with joss . carly : yeah , she 's -- she 's upstairs . i just , um ... i could n't even take my suitcase upstairs . i could n't put one foot in front of the other . i do n't know how to do this , jason . i do n't know -- i do n't know how to do this at all . i do n't know how to get josslyn through this . jason : did you tell josslyn that sonny was responsible for morgan ? carly : no . jason : okay . carly : kristina told her . josslyn 's always been suspicious . now she knows that sonny killed her brother , so it 's fine . [ sniffles ] jason : carly , why are you here ? carly : [ sighs ] where am i supposed to be , jason ? jason : you 're supposed to be at home with sonny . you both lost your son , and you need each other .

[ sighs ] julian : we need to talk , sonny ... because we both know that bomb that killed morgan was meant to kill me .

[ scene_break ] tracy : no one knows better than me the damage that paul did to general hospital and port charles , but lest it slip your mind , he tried to kill monica and me . lucy : okay , i am sorry if i suggested you were any part of paul 's actions . of course , you are not responsible . tracy : so , then why do n't we focus on what 's important ? trying to reopen the hospital , not selling it off to the highest bidder . lucy : then do n't fight me . i 'll tell you what . if you really want to save general hospital , very simple solution . buy the hospital yourself . [ scene_break ] tj : look , my mom does n't tell me that much about her work . you 'd have to ask her about the investigation into morgan 's death . curtis : maybe i will . what about you ? did you see anything out of the ordinary that night ? tj : why are you so interested in this ? i mean , it 's not like you were friends with morgan . curtis : you know -- it 's that cop thing , you know ? it 's the way my brain is wired , you know ? i 'm just trained to be curious , you know ? figure stuff out . tj : you 're conducting your own private investigation , are n't you ? you 're trying to find out what really happened . curtis : you know i ca n't reveal if i 've been hired to do a private job . tj : okay . but i know who hired you . [ scene_break ] nelle : yeah , no , carly , everything 's totally fine . avery 's perfectly okay . carly : okay , thank you . nelle , i really wanted to bring avery with me , but i ... do n't have custody . nelle : no , i 'm happy to keep an eye on avery , carly . besides , uh , everything 's super - quiet here , anyway . carly : okay . thanks again . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're really gon na accuse me of planting that bomb in your car ? you 're gon na put me on notice ? take your best shot ! julian : i do n't want revenge , sonny . we 've already had too much loss . our business ... [ sighs ] business has already spilled enough blood on both sides . sonny : both sides ? what do you mean , `` both sides `` ? julian : luke 's hit man shot lucas last year , and now you 've lost morgan . so the last thing i want to do right now , sonny , is answer violence with more violence . we need to end this cycle right now . sonny : why should i care what you want , julian ? ! julian : because it works to our mutual advantage . you planted that bomb in my car to kill me , sonny . sonny : [ chuckles ] julian : but i 'm not gon na retaliate . and neither are you . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] jason : you know that if you 're worried about avery , there 's a simple solution -- go home . carly : i ca n't go home . ca n't go home . every time i look at sonny ... all i can think about is how i 'm never gon na see morgan again . jason : sonny told you that he called off that hit , right ? carly : it does n't matter ! what does that matter , jason ? we both know that sonny 's the one who ordered the hit . i ca n't go back there . [ voice breaking ] can not go back to that house . jason : look . [ sighs ] no matter how it happened , sonny lost his child , too . and both of you are feeling this unimaginable pain , and only the two of you know what it 's like , and you need each other . carly : no , no , no . see , i have you . i have you , and that 's all i need . jason : i really wish that i was enough , but i 'm not . carly : you are . jason : i am not . i ... i wish i could take this burden from you . i wish that i could relinquish this anguish . i wish we could sit on that couch , and we could remember every single moment of morgan 's life , and at the same time , i could find a way for you to move forward , but i ca n't do it . sonny can . [ scene_break ] franco : if you 're going back to work , that means gh is officially reopened , and that 's great . i mean , nobody sent me an e - mail , but that 's a battle for a different day . i am so happy for you that you 're going back to work . elizabeth : no , thank you , and i wish that were the case because i really miss being there -- as a nurse , obviously . not a patient . but even with paul behind bars for all the murders , i have n't heard anything about the hospital reopening . and i need a paycheck , like , yesterday . franco : well , why do n't you just pick up some shifts at mercy until gh is up and running ? elizabeth : mercy is all staffed up , and so are the other surrounding hospitals . i think i 'm gon na have to widen my search . i 've heard good things about rochester . [ scene_break ] tracy : you want me to buy general hospital ? lucy : yeah . you 're always talking about all the good general hospital does and how much it means to your family . well , this is your chance . you could pay it back , and you could help the future generations the way the hospital 's helped your family , and for that matter , the way it helped you . did n't dr. munro and dr. finn recently save your life ? tracy : yeah . that 's why i want to save the hospital . lucy : all right , then save it already . put your money where your big , fat mouth is and save it yourself . [ scene_break ] curtis : t , uh , how might you know who i 'm working for ? tj : following the logic . you 're asking me a bunch of questions . you ca n't tell me who hired you , but it must be someone who has personal interest in who killed morgan . i mean , it 's pretty obvious . morgan was driving julian 's car . curtis : yeah . t , uh , like i said , you can keep guessing . i 'm not gon na tell you , right or wrong . tj : it 's sonny . you 're working for sonny . curtis : [ chuckles ] tj : i mean , sonny knows the cops are pointing the finger at him , so he hired you to get the truth , find out who cost morgan his life . okay . [ chuckles ] it 's cool . you already said you were n't gon na tell me , and that 's fine . i get it . i 'm just happy that you 're out there digging , 'cause i want to know who did this to morgan . curtis : i 'm just trying to find the truth . [ scene_break ] sonny : you taking the high road ? you kidding me ? you 've been gunning for me since you got to port charles . first , you put a hit out on duke . then when it looked like carly was gon na turn you in , you had your own lieutenant murdered . then you put your -- a knife to your wife 's throat 'cause you want to kill her , too , right ? huh ? julian : [ sighs ] sonny : so , now you 're standing there telling me that we 've both suffered enough . violence leads to more violence . well , let me tell you something -- you caused it ! julian : you want to keep coming after me ? i 'm gon na come after you . you got it ? and who are you willing to sacrifice as more collateral damage ? kristina ? huh ? michael ? josslyn ? carly ? where does it end ? and are you willing to live ... with the idea of losing your wife ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know sonny 's in pain . part of me wants to ... make him feel better and let him do the same for me . jason : then why do n't you try ? carly : [ voice breaking ] because it wo n't change anything . morgan will still be dead . jason : so ... ... now you 're willing to lose the father of your kids , too ? the man you built a life with ? carly : [ sighs ] what life ? sonny killed my son . god , i ca n't believe i 'm -- sonny killed my son , jason ! god . now i got to keep josslyn safe . i got to take care of her . i ca n't go back there . jason : listen to me . all sonny 's ever wanted done is keep his family safe , to keep you safe , to keep his kids safe . carly : he did n't keep morgan safe ! [ scene_break ] franco : so , no . i - i 'm sorry , but i - i ca n't let you move away . elizabeth : well , and i do n't want to leave , but i need an income , and i have no information on when or if the hospital is gon na open , unless you 've heard something i have n't . franco : me ? no . i mean , my only contact is dr. obrecht , and monica 's not gon na tell her anything . [ sighs ] i 'll tell you what . why do n't i put some shoes on ? and we can talk about this more . can i -- can i take you out to metro court ? and my treat . elizabeth : why do n't we go to kelly 's since we 're both not working ? franco : it 's okay . it 's still early , so we can order off the happy hour menu . [ both chuckle ] elizabeth : okay . i 'm in if you are . franco : me ? are you kidding ? half - price crab cakes . what could possibly go wrong ? let 's do it . [ scene_break ] carly : when i married sonny , i knew exactly who he was . every time . but i just thought this time was gon na be different , you know ? sonny spent time in a wheelchair , and i just thought that ... i thought that he would handle things differently this time , that he would be able to control the violence . i mean , how naive is that , right ? and why the hell did morgan get in julian 's car ? ! jason : nobody knows . nobody knows . carly : sonny 's not gon na change , jason , okay ? and he 's never lied about who he is . i 'm the one who 's been lying to myself . jason : okay , you need to stop that . nobody can fault you for this . carly : i can . i 'm a mother . my first instinct should be to protect my kids . you know ? to risk my life to keep them safe . and i did n't do that . i married a man who brought violence around them . i mean , i did n't even learn my lesson when michael spent a year in a coma . no , i did n't . now morgan 's dead . morgan 's dead . [ breathes deeply ] i 'm never gon na forgive myself . [ voice breaking ] never going to forgive myself . [ scene_break ] tj : i know that you ca n't say anything , but for me , i 'm glad that you 're looking into this for mr. c . curtis : why do you say that ? tj : because . i mean , that means he did n't do it , right ? i mean , if he was the one who ordered that bomb , why hire you ? there 's a reason everyone thinks he 's the number - one suspect , but for a father to be responsible for the death of his son , i do n't know how you go on . curtis : you know , it 's terrible when someone so young dies , especially like that . but if there 's anything good that can come out of this kind of tragedy , it 's to appreciate what you have . and i 'm -- i 'm so lucky to have you back in my life , man . really . i want to spend more time with you and everything . in fact , why do n't we -- i do n't know -- take in a bills game sometime , you know ? tj : okay . curtis : yeah . tj : i like that . i 'm with that . curtis : all right . tj : but , look , i got to get up out of here , man . i got to hit the books . curtis : oh , yes , yes . go make us proud . tj : yeah , man . you know , i got to do it . hey , but it was nice catching up with you . curtis : yeah , my man . yes , sir . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : okay , i 'm not having this conversation . i have a business to run -- elq . lucy : yeah , i - i thought that michael ran elq . tracy : he does , but unfortunately his brother got killed last night . lucy : i know . i did hear that . tracy : so , as we both know , business does not have any respect for grief , and we did not get elq back to watch it flounder . i have to concentrate on the company . lucy : okey - dokey . if that 's your final answer . but i need you to know that this third - party buyer is very motivated , really pushing for that sale , so if general hospital is to survive , then it has to reopen in the very near future . tracy : well , we both know that 's not gon na happen . not as long as two of the attacks at the hospital remain unsolved . lucy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : i know that you tried to kill me , sonny . that 's obvious , okay ? right , but , uh , in our business , it would be normal for me to threaten retaliation , right ? but that 's not why i 'm here , okay ? i 'm simply suggesting that we lay down our arms . sonny ... come on , man . let 's just have morgan 's funeral be the last one . let 's at least ... [ sighs ] let 's at least honor morgan by stopping the war . sonny : you talking to me about honor after you -- you recruited my son to work against me ? after you told me to put a leash on him less than two weeks ago ? you -- you want to talk to me about honor after you put a knife to your wife 's throat ? that 's offensive to me . and the fact that you 're in my house breathing my air , telling me lies -- that 's even more offensive . the fact that my ... my beautiful boy is dead ... ... is a violation of everything that is right and just . and if you do n't get out of my house right now , i might just balance the scales and end your miserable life because i can . julian : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] nelle : mr. corinthos ? are you all right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we just heard you tell lucy the hospital ca n't reopen because the murders have n't been solved ? i do n't understand . i thought the police said paul hornsby did it . tracy : he has an alibi for the attacks on bobbie and lucas . elizabeth : well , that 's creepy to think there 's more than one person attacking people . tracy : that 's why the hospital ca n't reopen . elizabeth : and the police do n't have any other suspects ? tracy : not that i know of . and while port charles is a lot safer with paul behind bars , it 's not enough to reopen the hospital . now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to commune with my martinis . elizabeth : well , it looks like rochester is more of a possibility than ever . maybe i should call patrick and robin , see if the hospital they co - chair in berkeley is hiring . franco : berkeley , california ? i know cameron would be happy to be living in the same town as emma . franco : okay , well , i do n't mean to disappoint cam , but i think i might have another solution that allows you to stay local . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i ... uh ... i forgot you were here . how 's , uh , avery ? nelle : sound asleep . sonny : so , i guess you heard ? nelle : yeah . do you want me to go clean it up ? sonny : no . no , no , no , no . that 's -- i got my men to do that . you go ahead , you go home . i got -- i got to -- i 'm not very good company . nelle : you know , i think i should stay here for avery . you 've already got so much on your plate , and , you know ... i already have the fold - out bed set up in her room . sonny : yeah , thank you . nelle : why -- why do n't you get some rest ? you look exhausted . sonny : yeah . yeah , okay . hey , uh ... i 'm glad you 're here for avery . [ scene_break ] carly : you should go home . you should go home and be with sam and the boys . jason : no . i do n't want you to be alone . carly : josslyn 's here . and ... i need to go upstairs and be with her and be a better mother to her than i was to morgan . jason : hey , look . you can grieve any way you feel you need to grieve , but do n't lie to yourself . you 're a great mom . morgan knew it . your kids know it . carly : if i 'm such a great mom , why is morgan dead ? jason : [ sighs ] because something completely unexpected and terrible happened , and we have no idea how . we do n't know how to explain it . carly : it 's not really complicated , you know ? sonny put a bomb in a car that killed our son . jason : sonny called it off . carly : not in time . jason : no , not in time . [ sniffles ] but i 'm gon na ask some questions , and i 'm gon na figure out why these things happened the way they did . carly : it 's not gon na bring my little boy back . jason : i know it 's not , and i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] but maybe if i can find out why this happened even after sonny called it off , maybe it 'll give us all just a little bit of closure . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] hey . thanks for meeting me here . just wanted to check on your progress . curtis : you just hired me a few hours ago . julian : well , for what i 'm paying you , i have a right to frequent updates . so , do you have any details on how that bomb ended up in my car ? and better yet , who put it there ? curtis : i 'm working on it . julian : [ chuckles ] okay , well , i 'm gon na need some more assurances than `` i 'm working on it . `` curtis : my nephew tj was the last one to see morgan alive , so i 'm gon na start there . julian : hmm . now , that right there is a solid beginning ... because as long as i have the truth , i can take sonny down . i just saw sonny . the man 's a wreck . curtis : man . would n't you be ? julian : [ sighs ] curtis : if , uh , like you said , sonny put the car bomb in your car to explode , and he wound up killing his own son , yeah , i 'd be a mess , too . julian : my point is , his guard is down . now is the perfect time to investigate him . curtis : unless he 's too far gone to worry about the consequences and decides to just come gunning for you . julian : mnh - mnh . sonny 's a long way away from plotting another hit against me , trust me . curtis : and what are your plans for him ? julian : [ chuckles ] i 'm certainly not planning on killing sonny . since my recent activities almost landed me an extended stay in prison , it 's just not worth taking that chance . to tell you the truth here , curtis , what i really need to do is focus on rebuilding my life . you know -- alexis and ... my kids , my grandson . all of that . and making sure that sonny spends the rest of his days rotting in prison . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ grunts ] nelle : mr. corinthos ? can i come in ? sonny : yeah , sure . nelle : i made you some tea . sonny : thank you . nelle : just ... i was on my way to check on avery . i 'm all set to read her her favorite bedtime story if she starts to fuss . sonny : yes . morgan used to read her the stories , and ... he 'd act out every part , and she -- she loved that . nelle : well , i 'll do my best . it 's chamomile . it 's supposed to be calming . sonny : thank you . that 's nice . nelle : well , i 'll be with avery if you need anything . sonny : can you do me a favor ? nelle : mm - hmm . sonny : can you shut the door ? [ door closes ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i know your heart 's in the right place , jason . but i do n't care why it happened . i do n't care that sonny called off the hit . i do n't care why someone did n't get the message . i do n't care about any of it ... ... 'cause in the morning , i 'm gon na wake up and for a couple seconds , i 'm gon na forget that morgan 's dead , and i might even smile . and then it 's all gon na hit me -- that my baby is gone . and my husband 's responsible , so there 's -- there is n't closure for that . jason : is sonny the only one who 's responsible ? because i tried to save him , carly . i chased after him when he stole that damn car . and i talked to him on a cell phone , and i got him to trust me enough to pull over . he parked that car as i got out of mine , and i told him that i would come to him , i would get him help . he said no . he wanted to come to me . and i felt relieved 'cause he suddenly was n't manic . he was calm . i thought everything was gon na be okay . and it should have been okay . but then he got out of the car . and i should have been able to save him , and i 'm sorry i was n't . [ breathes deeply ] carly : did i ever tell you how happy i was that i named morgan after you ? jason : [ chuckles ] carly : do you remember that ? you were so against it when i told you the idea . you said morgan corinthos was too close to corinthos - morgan and that it would be confusing for everybody . jason : yeah , but you did it anyway . carly : of course , i did . [ chuckles ] you named michael after sonny , so i thought it was perfect to name morgan after you . jason : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . carly : [ sighs ] look at that . now all we have left is a name .

i mean , what 's so risky about that ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : i have no idea what you 're talking about , so if you 'll excuse me . cane : i know that you overheard my conversation with juliet when we agreed that our one and only time together was a mistake . i know this . hilary : and did i blast it all over my show ? let me think . no , i did not . cane : because you have other plans , do n't you ? do you honestly expect that i believe that she left and you did n't see her or that your not - so - subtle innuendo in front of lily about our marriage being destroyed by secrets and lies was not a coincidence ? i know you knew about the lawsuit . hilary : what do you mean ? i 'm not suing anyone . what lawsuit are you talking about ? cane : okay . play this game with me . you play it . i promise you you 'll lose . hilary : my , my , my . whatever you did to poor juliet , it is probably gon na disgust lily . cane : this is low even for you . you know that ?

scott : no problem . yeah , he 's all yours . gloria : great . scott : yeah . gloria : i suppose you 're upset that i chased him off . kevin : no , for once , your timing 's perfect . gloria : yeah , really ?

[ sighs ] [ door opens ] hey . perfect timing . our beautiful , responsible daughter wants to go to the underground tonight for open mic night . i know it 's a school night , but i think it 'll be fine . cane : um ... lily : cane , are -- what -- what 's going on ? you okay ? cane : yeah , um ... there 's something you need to know . billy : so in cane 's version , nothing happened but some bar hopping and a few too many sake bombs . victoria : and according to juliet 's complaint , cane pressured her into having sex with him that night in order to land a permanent job here . billy : and he was pushing you to hire her big time when he got home from tokyo . victoria : i went with someone else as division manager . but i just thought she would be a huge asset to this company , and boy , was i wrong about that . billy : look , i 'm not a cane fan , but i find it hard to believe that he would risk his marriage over a one - night stand , much less coerce her into sleeping with him in exchange for a job recommendation ? victoria : i agree . but as we learned in los angeles , sometimes the perception of wrongdoing can do as much damage as the real thing . reed : [ sighs ] [ sniffs ] [ cologne spritzes ] [ sniffs ] [ cologne spritzes ] [ sniffs ] [ sniffs ] cane : i do n't want you to panic . lily : well , then tell me what 's going on . cane : okay . mattie : hey , dad . cane : hey . mattie : how was your day ? cane : baby , it was good . how was your day ? was it good ? mattie : yes .

and how worried should i be ? sharon : what is the harm in scott and me dating ? where is this reluctance coming from ? lauren : just a few short months ago , you were married to another man . and what is that ? husband six ? eight ? i 've frankly lost count . i 'm not trying to be insulting . sharon : oh , you 're doing a good imitation . lauren : look , i realize that my son is grown and he makes his own decisions . but i am reluctant because of everything that has happened in his life . the last thing he needs is more drama . sharon : scott and i care about each other a great deal . i would never do anything to hurt him . and i know that you 've always been protective with him , which is understandable . lauren : right . so then you understand why i 'd want to protect him from a woman who stole another woman 's child . and i am not talking about sheila carter . i 'm talking about a woman who tried to raise sage newman 's child as her own . scott is n't aware of your history , is he ? or your many issues over the years ? sharon : you 'd have to ask him . lauren : oh , i will . sharon : however , this is neither the time nor the place -- scott : should i go back in the kitchen and polish off the rest of the coleslaw , pretend i did n't pick up on the tension ? lauren : [ sighs ] sharon and i were just talking about history . sharon : yes , and that 's exactly where we should leave this , where it belongs . lauren : you 're right . today is about kevin . scott : i 'm sorry . gloria : could n't help but overhear . lauren : oh , what a shock . gloria : so i take it you 're not very happy about scott and sharon . lauren : [ sighs ] if i had a dollar for every time that michael had to go defend that woman in court or her many stays at fairview or all the drama that she 's had because of men in her life -- gloria : shh , shh , shh . okay , slow down , mama bear , or you 're gon na push that little cub right into her picnic basket . lauren : [ sighs ] michael : glad we did this . stretch our legs , maybe catch the sunset . kevin : yeah . thank you , you and lauren , for hosting the reception after chloe 's service . i just -- i needed -- michael : hey , hey , hey , hey . it 's been a long , hard couple of days . you did n't have to manage anything else . i get it . it 's one of the reasons i 'm glad you decided to take off on your own for a bit . kevin : yeah , i just need to find some , i do n't know , resolution , peace . i need a way to be happy again . michael : little brother , i hope you find all that and more . kevin : listen , while i 'm gone , i need to ask you a favor . michael : name it . kevin : well , wait till you hear what it is first . it involves keeping our mother out of trouble . michael : oh . as if i could keep gloria from doing anything . besides , she 's got a new man in her life to keep her in line . kevin : what ? who ? michael : [ chuckles ] you have n't heard . kevin : not a word . michael : yeah . well , apparently gloria has been -- how are they saying it ? -- `` getting busy `` with none other than jack abbott . kevin : no . michael : mm - hmm . kevin : jack could be our next new stepdad ? michael : i ca n't imagine it would ever get that hideous . kevin : oh , my god . the images in my head right now . michael : i 've always appreciated your warped imagination . kevin : well , i 've always appreciated every single thing you 've ever done for me . i do n't say it often enough , but you 're the best brother ... and the best friend a guy could ask for . michael : i am . kevin : [ chuckles ] michael : you know , i have n't had a vacation in awhile . why do n't i go with you ? huh ? what do you say ? kevin : someday we should take a trip together . michael : [ laughs ] kevin : but for now ... michael : yeah , yeah , yeah . i know . you need this time for yourself . kevin : besides , i need you here to look after bella and esther until i get back . michael : look at you all responsible . i remember when you first came to genoa city . i was expecting nothing but trouble . kevin : which i happily supplied . i have the mug shots to prove it . michael : you turned it around . you made a great life for yourself . kevin : i did n't do it alone . michael : i want you to know that i think that you 're an exceptional human being . you 're a good man . you 're a strong man . you will get through this , kevin . chloe : wait . wait , what if someone comes in and sees me ? dr. harris : no , wait , chloe . that is not going to happen . mr. newman made sure of it . as soon as it gets dark , we 're gon na head to the airstrip . i 'm taking you back to my home in louisiana where you 'll be safe forever . kevin : [ sighs ] i should get going . say goodbye to bella and whoever 's left at your place . michael : i 'll say your goodbyes for you . you have a great trip . i really hope you find what you 're looking for . kevin : i hope so , too . hey , mike . i love you . michael : you take care . mariah : so what 's the big emergency ? hilary : i have a gift for you . mariah : is it ticking ? hilary : now , i know how much you love sexual harassment stories , and i have a doozy for you to run with . now , before you say anything about that debacle with gloria fisher , i want you to know that we will vet everything before we broadcast . mariah : so , what is your scoop ? hilary : well , a very reliable source told me that a major lawsuit is being filed against brash & sassy . billy : i hope you do n't plan on paying juliet off just to keep her quiet . victoria : absolutely not . it would be an admission of guilt . and i 've already given that woman a very nice severance package even though she 's only been with us for a short time . she 's not getting any more . if she thinks she 's gon na extort money out of us , she 's in for a real shock . lily : i know she was upset , but does she have a case ? i mean , she was fired for cause , right ? cane : this is not about wrongful termination . this is , um ... she 's alleging sexual harassment . lily : i do n't get it . is she saying because she was fired over billy 'cause she 's a woman ? cane : um , no , no . she 's ... she 's claiming that she was coerced into , um , having sex with an employee . and she 's accusing me . [ next_on ] jordan : i think that she got some bad advice from someone claiming to be in her corner . lily : is there any way that what juliet 's talking about , that something might have happened in tokyo ? michael : i take it you 're not inclined to settle , make this go away ? victoria : absolutely not . | sharon admits to lauren that she and scott are dating and lauren is n't happy about it given sharon 's history with her past relationships . gloria advises lauren not to tell scott she objects to his relationship with sharon or she will drive him straight into sharon 's arms . cane tells victoria everything that happened when he was in tokyo with juliet but he leaves out the part where he slept with juliet . billy and victoria do n't think cane would risk his marriage to lily and have a one night stand with juliet . cane tells hilary that he knows she is the one that encouraged juliet to sue brash and sassy and she will be sorry she did it . chloe tells kevin she took pills to make her seem dead and gives him a slip of paper with an address and tells him she will be there when he gets there . kevin tells his family he needs a vacation so he is going to tahiti to have some time alone to heal . kevin takes each of his family and friends aside and tells them how much they mean to him and when he talks to michael he asks him to take care of gloria , bella , and esther until he comes back . dr. harris arrives to pick up chloe at the funeral home and tells her that she must return with him to louisiana where she will be safe forever since everyone thinks she is dead . cane tells lily that juliet is suing brash and sassy and she claims he sexually harassed her on his trip to tokyo . | <s>[INST] chloe : kevin . kevin , wake up ! kevin ! kevin . okay , listen . this is real . this is not a dream . kevin : [ breathing heavily ] what -- what is going on ? ! chloe : listen , i will explain everything . you just need to trust me . listen to me carefully and do everything that i say . kevin : [ breathing heavily ] chloe : it 's okay . it 's okay . billy : okay , so if i 'm not the one named in your suit , then who is ? cane ? cane is the one that you claim sexually harassed you ? juliet : it 's not a claim , billy . it 's fact . and when i take cane and victoria 's company to court , i intend to prove it . billy : juliet , this is nuts . juliet : i guess we 'll see about that . and if you 're smart , you 'll be on my side . billy : why the hell would i do that ? juliet : because ever since my first day on the job , cane 's been hoping to get you fired . victoria : juliet is alleging that you used your position in this company to force her into a sexual relationship on your business trip in tokyo . cane : this is patently false , and i resent the accusation 100 % . victoria : i 'm not the one accusing you , cane . that would be juliet . cane : oh ! i ca n't believe this is happening . victoria : well , it is . i want you to look me in the eye right now and swear to me that you did not sexually harass that woman . cane : [ sighs shakily ] lauren : paul , scott , can i get you anything ? paul : oh , let 's see . uh , scotch neat , if you have it . scott : make that two . michael : hmm . make it three . i 'll go get the good stuff . lauren : the good stuff ? make that four . michael : [ chuckles ] paul : thank you , lauren . gloria : where 's kevin ? michael : oh . gloria : i 'm worried . why is n't he here yet ? michael : he wanted some extra time at the funeral home to say a private goodbye to chloe . gloria : the woman is dead ! how long could that possibly take ? ! i can not even imagine what your brother 's going through , but i know that he does not need to be by himself . so i am going back there to be with him . kevin : you took pills . we had a funeral ! chloe : okay , stop . stop . okay , listen . you need to go . they 're coming to get me . kevin : what ? who ? what is going on ? chloe : listen , you 're just gon na take this address . you 're gon na meet me there , and you 're not going to say a word to anyone . kevin : i - i would n't even know what to say . chloe : i need you to step up and be the badass that you are , okay ?

! chloe : shh ! hurry ! just go to that address ! i promise ... i promise i 'm gon na be there . go . additional sponsorship billy : look , cane and i live to antagonize each other , but i 'm having a hard time believing that he 's capable of doing what you accuse him of doing . do n't get me wrong . he 's a tool . but he loves his wife . juliet : lots of men love their wives . does n't stop them from playing around thinking they can get away with it . billy : i did n't ever see cane treat you inappropriately , or anybody else that we work with , for that matter . so what did he supposedly do to you ? juliet : read the complaint . it 's all in there . i 'm not saying anything else without my attorney present . cane : you know me . you know the kind of man i am . i would never pull a power trip like this over anybody . i championed juliet . i did . i championed her . victoria : yes , you put a good word in for her . cane : so you can attest to the fact that i always defended her ? victoria : [ sighs ] i need to be very clear of the allegations in this complaint . nothing happened on that trip that could be misconstrued as sexual harassment ? cane : absolutely not . victoria : all right then . i need a detailed recounting of everything that you and juliet did on that trip , and i mean everything . michael : no , no . just hold it ! gloria : kevin does n't need space ! he needs family ! michael : listen , this has been a terrible day for him . just let him get his thoughts together . gloria : at a time like this , a mother needs to be there , right , lauren ? sharon ? lauren : i understand that you feel helpless watching kevin suffer . but i 'm with michael . we have to let him come to us . michael : and he will . we just need to be patient . gloria : fine . any of that chardonnay left ? michael : [ sighs ] sharon : paul , do you have a sec ? paul : sure , sharon . what 's up ? sharon : i was just wondering if you 'd heard anything from dylan . paul : no . i do n't expect to , either . why ? sharon : because i have . paul : really ? he 's not supposed to contact anyone outside of witness protection . sharon : i 'm sure he 's still safe wherever he is . i only heard from him through my attorney . our divorce is final . you no longer have a daughter - in - law to worry about . paul : i 'm sorry , sharon . i - i know this has been rough on you . sharon : it has been very difficult , but it is what it is . paul : sharon , i want you to be happy . and i 'm sure my son does , too . and as hard as it is on all of us , we have to move on with our lives . sharon : that 's good advice . [ doorbell rings ] gloria : that 's kevin . that 's kevin . hi , angel ! you do n't have to ring the doorbell ! hi , mariah . it 's you . come . come in . mariah : hi . hi , everybody . i feel terrible about missing the service . i was away on assignment , and i raced back as soon as i was done . where 's kevin ? how is he ? michael : uh , he 's still at the funeral home with chloe . he should be here soon . um , thank you . thank you for coming . we have food in the kitchen . can i make you a drink ? mariah : yes , please . lauren : so , am i allowed to be curious ? scott : about what ? sharon ? michael : hey . paul : hey . michael : you okay ? gloria : of course he 's not . look at him . he 's white as a sheet . hilary : juliet ! uh , wait up . what -- what is with the suitcase ? you 're not running for the hills , are you ? that 's no way to get justice . juliet : i 'll be around . my attorney just suggested i lay low for a while . hilary : ah . good advice . juliet : thanks again for recommending her . hilary : oh , it was my pleasure . and leslie is a shark . that 's exactly what you need right now . juliet : well , i want to head out before i run into anyone else . i 'll be in touch . cane : we closed the deal with mr . sato , and then , um , i video - conferenced you , and you said go ahead and celebrate , so we did . victoria : and what did that consist of ? cane : uh , juliet arranged a car to , uh , take us around tokyo and show me the city . i remember thinking to myself how much it had changed since i was last there . then we came back to the hotel and went to the karaoke bar . victoria : and that 's it ? cane : we -- we -- we drank . you know , it 's nothing as much as she alleges . listen , this is -- this is just her attempt to try and shake us down after she was fired . that 's all this is . victoria : i hope you 're right , cane , because the last thing that this company needs is another scandal . you know that . reed : hey , mom . um , sorry to interrupt , but , uh , do you have a second ? cane : um , listen , i need to go be somewhere . excuse me . reed : hey ! cane : who put this guitar -- reed : that 's my guitar ! cane : if that 's the case , why do n't you just look after it better ? ! reed : [ sighs ] lily : so , what 'd you say this boy 's name was again ? mattie : i didn't . nice try , mom . lily : come on . just throw me a bone . anything . mattie : mom , stop . i 'm organizing a paper on english medieval history . it 's about how the anarchy led to the rise of the plantagenets . lily : fine . i 'll let you get to it . i do n't want you to be late for your evening at the underground . what ? mattie : i know what you 're doing , so can we please stop playing 20 questions again ? lily : okay , fine . how about one question ? mattie : mom . lily : okay , this boy . tell me one thing about him . mattie : no . lily : why not ? mattie : that 's two questions . lily : come on , sweetie . please ? mattie : mom , i already told you . i 've met him twice . there 's nothing more i can tell you about him because there 's nothing more i know about him . lily : well , you said something about music , right ? mattie : that 's question number three in your game of one . and yes , it 's open mic night , which means that there will be music there . that 's why this guy invited me . lily : oh , so he 's a musician . mariah : hey . kevin : huh ? mariah : i win the prize . worst friend ever . i 'm so sorry that i missed everything . kevin : hey , work 's work . i get it . you 're here now . actually , that goes for all of you . in case i did n't say it before , it really meant so much to me having you all here today . michael : hey , there is nowhere else we would rather be , brother . scott : how about a drink ? you look like you could use one , pal .

paul : oh , no . absolutely not . scott : hanging in there , dude ? kevin : [ sighs ] yeah , it helps having you all here . scott : you know , they do a version of this in almost every culture . they , uh , honor the dead , say goodbye , and deal with the earthly remains . then everybody gets together and shares a meal . kevin : well , that 's actually kind of comforting . scott : there 's quite the spread in the kitchen . you think you could , uh , eat a little something ? kevin : no , gloria , i 'm fine . scott : ah . okay , son . well , then that 's just more ham for me . kevin : [ chuckles ] seriously , though . you 've been such a good friend through all of this . and additional thanks for not letting me put nick in the hospital . scott : [ scoffs ] you know , i feel like i 'm the one who owes you the thanks . i mean , acting as a go - between for when i got kidnapped . you know , without you , i would n't have -- kevin : you can say it . you might have come home in a box . scott : do n't think i do n't know that . so , i am gon na thank you once again for saving my life , even though you 're tired of hearing it . and i want to wish you the best on your trip . kevin : thanks . scott : yeah . kevin : where i 'm headed , i - i do n't know what this journey 's gon na be like . i do n't know how it 's gon na end . scott : that 's good , though , man . i mean , you just want to go into it with an open mind and clear your head of everything genoa city . kevin : yeah . scott : it would be good for bella , too . kevin : oh , i 'm not taking her with me . it 's too risky . scott : are n't you going to a tourist resort ? i mean , what 's so risky about that ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : i have no idea what you 're talking about , so if you 'll excuse me . cane : i know that you overheard my conversation with juliet when we agreed that our one and only time together was a mistake . i know this . hilary : and did i blast it all over my show ? let me think . no , i did not . cane : because you have other plans , do n't you ? do you honestly expect that i believe that she left and you did n't see her or that your not - so - subtle innuendo in front of lily about our marriage being destroyed by secrets and lies was not a coincidence ? i know you knew about the lawsuit . hilary : what do you mean ? i 'm not suing anyone . what lawsuit are you talking about ? cane : okay . play this game with me . you play it . i promise you you 'll lose . hilary : my , my , my . whatever you did to poor juliet , it is probably gon na disgust lily . cane : this is low even for you . you know that ?

scott : no problem . yeah , he 's all yours . gloria : great . scott : yeah . gloria : i suppose you 're upset that i chased him off . kevin : no , for once , your timing 's perfect . gloria : yeah , really ? do i want to know what that means ? kevin : will you just be my mom , stay here with me for a minute ? gloria : hmm . i can do that . kevin , it 's so wonderful to see what a great parent you are . first with delia and now with bella . i 'm just grateful you did n't follow in my footsteps . kevin : gloria , do n't do that . gloria : no , no , no , it 's true , is n't it ? i was a lousy mother . i 'm just glad it skipped a generation . kevin : we had some tough times , yeah . gloria : hmm . kevin : but when i was in trouble , you were there for me . chloe ran off from the wedding , there was not a single `` i told you so . `` you were there for me in every way that mattered , mom . gloria : i did good , huh ?

'cause otherwise , all that wasted time . hilary : you 're my husband . i 'm your wife . we wasted nothing . victor : well , now , this is quite the crack team you have assembled for your start - up . abby : thanks , dad . if i ever wondered what you thought about me ... victor : mm . nick : it 's amazing what you can accomplish when you do n't have someone 's giant ego holding you back . you know , maybe it 's why we 've attracted so many of your former customers and employees . victoria : stolen i think is the word you 're looking for . victor : in the most underhanded way possible . nikki : well , when you invited me to a meeting , i did n't realized i 'd need a flak jacket . billy : well , well , well . looks like a little family fun for the newmans with a little abbott spice sprinkled in for flavor , huh ? if i could have your attention , people of the club , as a gesture of goodwill , for the next half- hour , drinks are on jabot . please , enjoy ! kyle : you should have gone to the gym like you planned . summer : not a chance , okay ? i live for this stuff . jack : hey . what was that about ? billy : community spirit . jack : you 're in devon 's hotel while he 's in the icu with his wife . phyllis needed you at hilary 's wedding , and you could n't be bothered . now you 're walking around here like some frat boy ? geez , you ca n't show enough human decency ? billy : save your lecture for the one that 's gon na pay for it , okay ? and stay out of my personal life . devon : well , you know , i got , uh , special medical clearance for this champagne . hilary : i 'm sure you did . devon : i did . it 's our wedding night . i could n't let these go empty . hilary : it was sweet of shauna to get us these . for today , and all our anniversaries . devon : mm . hilary : what about you ? devon : [ chuckles ] mmm . hilary : [ chuckles ] devon : i think i 'm gon na have to get a special case for these flutes . so we can cart them around the world for our anniversary . hilary : mm - hmm . devon : when we picnic on the sand of nova scotia . hilary : ooh . [ chuckles ] devon : when we go canoeing in sri lanka . on the canals of copenhagen . that sound good ? hilary : mm - hmm . devon : i think you might have to wear a scarf and sunglasses , though . i do n't need my famous wife getting mobbed on our anniversary . any other day of the year , fans can have a piece of you , but on that special day , you 're all mine . hilary : not just that day . every day . what about , um ... all of those people passing cds to you so that you can you produce them ? god , will we ever eat in peace ? [ chuckles ] devon : you know , i do n't think i 'll mind the paparazzi . but our children -- they 're gon na be off - limits . hilary : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . hilary : our `` hevon `` babies ? devon : some we make , some we adopt . hilary : but we love them all like crazy . okay . let 's be real , though . devon : what ? hilary : how much fighting will we do ? devon : [ chuckles ] i do n't know , but we 'll be doing a lot of making up . hilary : [ chuckles ] devon : and we 'll know that we can get through it . because we 're forever . just you and me . hilary : we do n't have much time . sharon : hi , sweetheart . i just had a talk with tessa . mariah : you ... ? sharon : she really cares about you . so much . mariah : she told you that ? sharon : i think whatever walls she had with you , with all of us , they 're gone now . she 's really committed to you . mariah : yeah , she is . and it feels exactly how i would have hoped . sharon : well , then ... tessa 's part of the extended family now . i wanted you both to know that . i was thinking about asking her to be a bridesmaid at the wedding . since you 're the maid of honor , what do you think ? mariah : wow , i -- yeah . i think ... i think that would be great . sharon : all right . great . all right , i 'm gon na go upstairs and relieve the babysitter . mariah : okay . billy : can i get another , please ? lauren : what are you doing ? billy : thank you . enjoying a drink , along with everybody else here . lauren : you are incredible . billy : well , thank you , lauren . i enjoy being an ambassador of goodwill . lauren : please . billy : oh , is this about the feasibility study ? lauren : no . this is about you being a soulless jackass in front of phyllis , but you want to talk about work ? billy : not really . lauren : yeah , let 's talk about the feasibility study , okay ? and the profit margins and -- oh , yeah , the real estate values of all of fenmore 's brick - and- mortar stores . what 's your plan , billy ? you gon na shut me down and then sell off all the properties ? billy : i 'm collecting data and weighing my options . that 's what a c.e.o . does . lauren : [ scoffs ] phyllis : so , did you get this idea for the study when i invited you to get out of my place ? billy : technically , it 's summer 's place . phyllis : i know what you 're doing . you 're using fenmore 's to push me out ! victor : you 're very clever , you 're very bright , you 're very creative . i can think of no one better qualified to run the newman real estate division than you . nikki : [ gasps ] this is not at all what i expected . i mean , stepping in when needed is one thing , but taking on a permanent position , that 's quite another . what do you think about all this ? victoria : honestly , um ... i think it 's inspirational . you have so many connections , and you have a keen sense of value and potential . and think of the optics -- newman family solidarity . it 's like a gold mine . nikki : yes , but the whole family is n't at newman , is it ? victor : mm . nikki : nicholas and i have been working as partners . and now you suddenly want to pit me directly against our son . victor : mm . nikki : so , tell me ... how much of this is my skill set , and how much of this is spite ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nick : excuse me for one sec ? jack : yeah . we 'll pick this up later , okay ? nick : okay . jack : you ready ? abby : yeah . nikki : from what i understand , nicholas has gutted the real estate division , as well as doing damage to newman as a whole . asking me to be directly involved in recovery -- victor : listen to me . i know that you 're a fighter , and you will do what it takes to best our son and the rest of the competition . victoria : i would n't have phrased it quite like that , but i 'd understand if it did n't work for you . nikki : no , no , no , no . do n't misread me . i 'm in . victor : good . nikki : because i know that you think that 's the only way to beat nicholas . it 's not , though . we can strengthen newman , we can rebuild my new division , we can do all of that without taking the family to war . phyllis : you want to shove me out of your life , that 's fine . but do not use fenmore 's to do it . but you know what , that would make you too decent of a guy , right ? because you 're the type of guy who could n't even bother to show up to hilary and devon 's wedding . one hour of your time , even less . you could n't do that for me . you could n't give me that much , could you ? billy : i 'm confused . are we friends , chums ? i mean , you kicked me out . phyllis : i invited you back in . billy : right , because it 's your call . whether i stay , whether i go , where i live , how i run my business , i have to clear everything with you . yeah , no . that 's not how it works . nick : you know , your leadership is something to behold . billy : you have an empty building with a bunch of staff members you snaked from daddy , okay ? you 're not in a position to pass judgment , nick . nick : we 're a new company , but we have the capital to seize every opportunity we want . which , lauren , maybe fenmore 's would be a better fit with dark horse , if an attentive partner is something you 're looking for . summer : dad , did you just threaten to steal business from jabot ? devon : are you in any pain , honey ? i 'll get the nurse for you . hilary : [ sighs ] no . devon : you sure ? hilary : it 's okay . it 's okay . devon : if there 's anything -- hilary : devon . we both know how bad this is . it 's fine . i know you 're just trying to protect me . devon : that 's all i wanted to do . i should have told you when nate told me . i 'm sorry i did n't do that . hilary : i know now . and today was wonderful . ugh , even in this place . there was so much love . devon : i do n't remember not loving you . i feel like every part of me only works 'cause you 're here . you 're the reason why i wake up in the morning . and it 's been that way for i do n't know how long . when things happened for us , i remember feeling like this is what people meant when they talk about love . hilary : you know what i think about when i look at you ? devon : what ? hilary : seven - layer bars . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : [ chuckles ] when you told me that your grandmother taught you how to make them ... i was a goner . [ chuckles ] devon : you know what i think about when i look at you ? hilary : hmm ? devon : that same night , when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere , and you told me that you were afraid of cows . you told me about the constellations . hilary : and we danced under the stars . devon : that 's right . hilary : you have to promise me something . devon : anything . hilary : i want a big service . and i want it -- devon : [ crying ] hilary : and i want it to be a celebration , okay ? i do n't want it to be sad and depressing . and everybody -- everybody better wear hats . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : like a royal wedding . devon : [ chuckles ] that 's what you want , honey ? hilary : and then later , after ... i need you to move on . devon : why you doing this ? hilary : because there is some amazing woman out there that is gon na make you smile again , and she 's gon na drive you crazy . those visions that you have , raising kids and ... and a family ... you have to do that . you have to do that for me . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : this world needs more fathers like you . devon : i do n't think i can do that . hilary : look at me . i 'm blessed . i had a blessed life . i had my show , i got to call you my husband , and i heard my -- my child 's heartbeat . all of my dreams came true . they did . your dreams , they ca n't end with me . devon : [ crying ] tessa : [ sighs ] [ car door opens ] mariah : hey . tessa : you were making me nervous . i thought you were n't gon na show . mariah : do you really think i would do that ? just stay away without saying anything ? tessa : but , uh ... you 're not coming with me . you did n't bring a bag . mariah : i was ready . i promise you , i was . everything that i said to you was true . and every moment , every second that i have spent with you , even the awful ones ... tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : they 've been so real . they made me . they did . they turned me into this new person . i mean , you knew who i was . it was easier to be a smartass than to connect with people . but with you ... i did n't have a choice . i didn't . i had to feel . and now i ca n't stop feeling . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : i care about things now . they matter me -- relationships , priorities , goals ... tessa : and for you , all that is here . mariah : you need to find your sister . i know . and when i first came to genoa city , i would have laughed at something like that because i did n't understand . i did n't have a family . not a real one . and now i do . i have a mom . i have the greatest mom in the world who 's about to marry this amazing guy who loves me , even though he does n't have to . i have a little sister who is two seconds away from being a teenager . i have a little brother who would forget me if i left now . i have friends . real friends . like devon . did i tell you that hilary asked me to look after him ? tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : she trusts me with looking after her husband and her show . tessa : because she knows you , and she knows that you 're a good friend . mariah : and you 're my friend , too . but you are also so much more .

you gon na shut me down and then sell off all the properties ? billy : i 'm collecting data and weighing my options . that 's what a c.e.o . does . lauren : [ scoffs ] phyllis : so , did you get this idea for the study when i invited you to get out of my place ?

victoria : honestly , um ... i think it 's inspirational . you have so many connections , and you have a keen sense of value and potential . and think of the optics -- newman family solidarity . it 's like a gold mine . nikki : yes , but the whole family is n't at newman , is it ? victor : mm . nikki : nicholas and i have been working as partners . and now you suddenly want to pit me directly against our son . victor : mm . nikki : so , tell me ... how much of this is my skill set , and how much of this is spite ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nick : excuse me for one sec ? jack : yeah . we 'll pick this up later , okay ? nick : okay . jack : you ready ? abby : yeah . nikki : from what i understand , nicholas has gutted the real estate division , as well as doing damage to newman as a whole . asking me to be directly involved in recovery -- victor : listen to me . i know that you 're a fighter , and you will do what it takes to best our son and the rest of the competition . victoria : i would n't have phrased it quite like that , but i 'd understand if it did n't work for you . nikki : no , no , no , no . do n't misread me . i 'm in . victor : good . nikki : because i know that you think that 's the only way to beat nicholas . it 's not , though . we can strengthen newman , we can rebuild my new division , we can do all of that without taking the family to war . phyllis : you want to shove me out of your life , that 's fine . but do not use fenmore 's to do it . but you know what , that would make you too decent of a guy , right ? because you 're the type of guy who could n't even bother to show up to hilary and devon 's wedding . one hour of your time , even less . you could n't do that for me . you could n't give me that much , could you ? billy : i 'm confused . are we friends , chums ? i mean , you kicked me out . phyllis : i invited you back in . billy : right , because it 's your call . whether i stay , whether i go , where i live , how i run my business , i have to clear everything with you . yeah , no . that 's not how it works . nick : you know , your leadership is something to behold . billy : you have an empty building with a bunch of staff members you snaked from daddy , okay ? you 're not in a position to pass judgment , nick . nick : we 're a new company , but we have the capital to seize every opportunity we want . which , lauren , maybe fenmore 's would be a better fit with dark horse , if an attentive partner is something you 're looking for . summer : dad , did you just threaten to steal business from jabot ? devon : are you in any pain , honey ? i 'll get the nurse for you . hilary : [ sighs ] no . devon : you sure ? hilary : it 's okay . it 's okay . devon : if there 's anything -- hilary : devon . we both know how bad this is . it 's fine . i know you 're just trying to protect me . devon : that 's all i wanted to do . i should have told you when nate told me . i 'm sorry i did n't do that . hilary : i know now . and today was wonderful . ugh , even in this place . there was so much love . devon : i do n't remember not loving you . i feel like every part of me only works 'cause you 're here . you 're the reason why i wake up in the morning . and it 's been that way for i do n't know how long . when things happened for us , i remember feeling like this is what people meant when they talk about love . hilary : you know what i think about when i look at you ? devon : what ? hilary : seven - layer bars . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : [ chuckles ] when you told me that your grandmother taught you how to make them ... i was a goner . [ chuckles ] devon : you know what i think about when i look at you ? hilary : hmm ? devon : that same night , when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere , and you told me that you were afraid of cows . you told me about the constellations . hilary : and we danced under the stars . devon : that 's right . hilary : you have to promise me something . devon : anything . hilary : i want a big service . and i want it -- devon : [ crying ] hilary : and i want it to be a celebration , okay ? i do n't want it to be sad and depressing . and everybody -- everybody better wear hats . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : like a royal wedding . devon : [ chuckles ] that 's what you want , honey ? hilary : and then later , after ... i need you to move on . devon : why you doing this ? hilary : because there is some amazing woman out there that is gon na make you smile again , and she 's gon na drive you crazy . those visions that you have , raising kids and ... and a family ... you have to do that . you have to do that for me . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : this world needs more fathers like you . devon : i do n't think i can do that . hilary : look at me . i 'm blessed . i had a blessed life . i had my show , i got to call you my husband , and i heard my -- my child 's heartbeat . all of my dreams came true . they did . your dreams , they ca n't end with me . devon : [ crying ] tessa : [ sighs ] [ car door opens ] mariah : hey . tessa : you were making me nervous . i thought you were n't gon na show . mariah : do you really think i would do that ? just stay away without saying anything ? tessa : but , uh ... you 're not coming with me . you did n't bring a bag . mariah : i was ready . i promise you , i was . everything that i said to you was true . and every moment , every second that i have spent with you , even the awful ones ... tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : they 've been so real . they made me . they did . they turned me into this new person . i mean , you knew who i was . it was easier to be a smartass than to connect with people . but with you ... i did n't have a choice . i didn't . i had to feel . and now i ca n't stop feeling . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : i care about things now . they matter me -- relationships , priorities , goals ... tessa : and for you , all that is here . mariah : you need to find your sister . i know . and when i first came to genoa city , i would have laughed at something like that because i did n't understand . i did n't have a family . not a real one . and now i do . i have a mom . i have the greatest mom in the world who 's about to marry this amazing guy who loves me , even though he does n't have to . i have a little sister who is two seconds away from being a teenager . i have a little brother who would forget me if i left now . i have friends . real friends . like devon . did i tell you that hilary asked me to look after him ? tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : she trusts me with looking after her husband and her show . tessa : because she knows you , and she knows that you 're a good friend . mariah : and you 're my friend , too . but you are also so much more .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : rick is n't going to stay away from your daughter , and that is why ridge 's marriage is n't going to make it . taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie : sweetheart , sometimes you have to take advantage of a bad situation . now i know -- i know -- i know how you feel about rick and steffy , and i know that you 're hoping and praying that she 'll be able to resist him , but that 's not what 's gon na happen . he 's going to go after her , because that 's just the kind of person he is . he 's a logan . they 're all like that . and when it happens , i want you to show this to ridge , because this is his ticket to freedom . this is his ticket to you . taylor : if rick continues to be a problem , all right , stephanie . i 'll go to ridge , and i 'll fight for him . and i will win .Summarize.[/INST]taylor stares at the invalid marriage document and has to be sure that stephanie has not created this . stephanie says no , but it changes everything . ridge is not a married man so taylor can go after him . pam did not do this intentionally , but then they both know there are no real accidents in life . taylor realizes this is an error that can be fixed . brooke will do that immediately . stephanie thinks not . taylor does n't have to show this to ridge just yet . rick will make his move again and brooke will side with her son again and there will be a huge fight . then taylor can show this to ridge and make is easy for him to walk away . this will be his ticket to freedom . brooke thanks ridge for being so understanding . he says the worst with rick is behind them . nothing can hurt them now ; they will survive . he tells steffy that he is proud of her and she must hold her ground and stay away from rick . there is someone out there better for her . marcus wants to be sure that steffy is okay and wo n't let rick talk his way back into her life . she assures them that rick will not be a problem to her . rick continues to tell brooke that ridge set him up and he wishes she could see that and hold him accountable . he 'd like to talk to steffy again and perhaps convince her that he was confused and did not mean what he said on the tape . brooke argues that he can not justify what he did . he disrespected steffy and ridge had nothing to do with that . his relationship with steffy has put her marriage in jeopardy . for months she has done what rick wanted . now he is going to do what she wants . she is not asking him , but demanding that he not go near steffy period ! he claims that steffy wants nothing to do with him , so he will just work on making himself better .</s> | 4,196 |

[ sighs ] all of a sudden , the relationship was a disaster . my friends were right . the doctor was right . rafe : the doctor . jordan : everything changed once i had him neutered . [ scene_break ] nick : i think ... that the two of you should be careful about the way that you talk to percy , the man who saved my life . sami : why is he here ? nick : i thought it was only appropriate . sami : appropriate . why ? nick : because ... the night that you two shoved me in that river , i thought that i was as good as dead . i did n't think that i stood a chance . but then ... i was struggling . the water was icy . i could n't swim .

[ grunting ] [ coughing ] percy : greetings . nick : [ breathing heavily ] i 've never been so happy to see someone in my entire life . sami : well , while that story is sad and quite touching ... it 's also a complete lie . obviously you met this nut job somewhere , and you decided to concoct some outrageous story about how we dragged you through woods and threw you in a river and tried to kill you . nick : [ laughs ] really ? that 's the best you can do , sami ? honestly , i - i expected better . sami : i do n't have to do better ... because the fact of the matter is that gabi and kate and i were nowhere near the river that night ... were we , ladies ?

[ scene_break ] rafe : no . kate and i are just friends . in fact , we broke up before i was ever attacked . it 's just that ... well , kate felt guilty after stefano sent bernardi in to visit me in the hospital , and she 's been in my corner ever since . roman : well , if she 's been in your corner , would n't you two go back to where you were ? rafe : no . no . we 're just friends . but i have actually started dating someone else . and she may be the real deal .

that 's what you 're basing all this on -- some flash of e.s.p . ? opal , let me tell you something . when i told chris that jackson was missing , he was genuinely concerned . opal : well , of course he was , because he knows what his passion has driven him to . erica : no ! you are wrong ! chris is not like that . chris believes in law and he believes in justice , and he would never take it into his own hands . opal : well , except that you are the one person that could maybe push him right over the edge . erica : i do n't believe this . i am suffering right now . do you have to say these things to me ? opal : jackson is the one who is suffering . and he is suffering because he could not resist your charms . and that just may be the death of him . aidan : so you and your mum kissed and made up ? kendall : is it so hard for you to believe that erica wants to give me a second chance ? i mean , just because you did n't does n't mean that she would n't . aidan : i 'm sorry ; i gave you plenty of second chances , kendall . and you know what i realized ? that people do n't change who they are or how they feel overnight . ok ? kendall : oh . they do n't , huh ? well , are n't you in love with someone who 's done just that ? aidan : no , we 're talking attitude here . and you 're in no position to -- kendall : to what ? to judge you the way you 've been judging me ? why not ? aidan : because our situations are completely different . kendall : oh , please . you know why you do n't want to believe that people can change overnight ? because then you 'd have to admit that , deep down , your dear , sweet maureen really is maria , no matter what she 's been telling you . and you know it . maria : maddie -- edmund : whatwhat 's that about ?

all it was to me was amusement , lena . lena : you 're sick . michael : and you have to do as you 're told , without question . lena : as if i ever had any choice . michael : ok . you want choice ? you got it . do as you 're told , your mother lives . you go against me , i 'm sure you 're well aware of what i can do to your mother -- well , what 's left of her life , and how unpleasant it will be . and one more thing -- bianca will learn the truth about you . erica : joe , how is he ? how did the surgery go ? joe : hi . he 's stable . erica : oh , thank god ! joe : we were able to remove the bullet from his chest , and there 's no damage to the nearby organs . but he did lose quite a bit of blood , and we still do n't know how long he was unconscious before he was found . opal : what exactly are you trying to say , joe ? joe : that we ca n't predict how extensive the damage may be over the long term . erica : what kind of damage ? look , i 'm prepared . i mean , i 'm going to be there for him , whatever he needs . joe : well , it may not be quite that simple . erica : why not ? joe : because jack may not be the same man he was before he was shot . bianca : what do you mean ? opal : you talking about brain damage ? joe : it 's a possibility . erica : i want to see him , joe . joe : he 's still very heavily sedated . it -- erica : joe , he needs me . i want to see him . aidan : you do n't know what you 're talking about when it comes to maureen . kendall : i know she used to be maria . do you ? aidan : everyone has a past , kendall . at least maureen 's is n't one to be ashamed of . kendall : oh , come on , aidan , your chickie is no saint . you 're setting her up to be this person that she 's not , that she may never be . aidan : really ? is that something you learned from getting down with michael cambias ? kendall : you 're way off about him , ok ? aidan : am i ? or is it just because you two crashed and burned ? kendall : ok , for your information , michael and i are back together . aidan : are you serious ? how many times are you going to let this guy walk all over you ? bianca : kendall , have you seen lena ? kendall : no , she was here earlier . i do n't know where she went . bianca : ok . opal : you know , i can use a caffeine boost . would you like to keep me company ? bianca : sure . mom , if lena comes back , would you -- erica : i 'll tell her where to go . bianca : ok . thank you . erica : ok . joe , could you just give me one moment , please ? joe : yes . yes , of course . aidan : erica , how 's jackson ?

aidan : erica thanking you . kendall : do n't worry , i do n't think it 's one of the official signs of the apocalypse . aidan : well , i guess i owe you an apology . kendall : no , that 's ok . i was -- i was really harsh about maureen . listen , if maria has n't come back by now , i 'm sure she never will , so i 'm sure you 're in the clear . she 's all yours . maddie : you said mommy was the most beautiful lady you ever saw . edmund : i did say that , yes . maddie : then how come you do n't kiss mommy the way you do mia ? edmund : well , because -- because mommy 's in love with aidan , and i respect that . maddie : are you in love with mia ? edmund : i do n't know . i do like her a lot . i know that . and you would , too , if you gave her a chance . maddie : i do n't want mia to be my mom . edmund : oh , sweetheart , she 's not trying to be your mom , ok ? maddie : then what is she doing ? edmund : she 's getting close to me . honey , i know you did n't like what you saw back at the house , and i 'm sorry . but i 'm not going to lie to you and say it 's not going to happen again because -- because it will . and i know you want it to be with mommy , but -- but it wo n't be , and that 's not mia 's fault , ok ? maddie : ok . edmund : so what do you say we go back to the house and you apologize to her ? maddie : is that what you want me to do ? edmund : you know it 's the right thing to do . ok ? come on . come here , sweetie . ready to climb ? maddie : yeah . edmund : one , two -- edmund and maddie : three , four , five , six mia : maureen , i never lied to maddie . i think she was upset because she walked in on us . maria : no , you obviously said something to her that was misleading . mia : i told her that edmund and i are friends , which we are . maria : ok , look , i 'm just -- i 'm very concerned for my daughter and what she 's going through right now , and maybe what you said to her and what you 're showing her are two different things . mia : well , you would know , would n't you ? maria : what 's that supposed to mean ? mia : did n't you tell maddie that you cared about her but you could n't be her mommy ? and do n't you show her all the time that you 'd rather be with aidan than with her ? maria : you know what , you are way out of line . you know what ? i have been nothing but honest with maddie about how i feel about her and how i feel about aidan . and -- ok , you know what the bottom line is ? edmund and i have already decided how to handle this . mia : oh . i did n't know there was an edmund and you . maria : oh , yeah , there is . mia : oh . maria : there is and there always will be because of the kids . mia : well , that 's very convenient . so you can just come and go as you please . if you ask me , it 's pretty selfish . maria : i did n't . and come on , who do you think you are , anyway ? mia : well , i think i 'm probably the only one who 's not afraid to call you on what you 're doing . maria : wow . i 'm so sorry that you 're threatened by me . mia : i 'm not threatened by you , really . maria : hey , maddie . how you doing ? you ok ? edmund : maddie has something she 'd like to say . go on , sweetheart . we 're listening . maddie , you remember what we talked about ? maddie : yes . i 'm sorry . mia : thank you . apology accepted . edmund : there . do n't you feel better now ? maddie : no . i still wish you 'd leave my daddy alone ! maria : no , no , no , i 'll go . i 'll go . you 've got company , and sometimes a little girl just needs her mother . edmund : you ok ? mia : yeah . i 'm fine . edmund : you sure ? listen , i 'm sorry maddie 's giving you such a hard time . you know what ? she 'll come around , i promise .

this has nothing to do with anything . opal : this has nothing to do with anything ? if you want me to keep talking , you 're going to have to zip it , ok ? this is n't easy . erica : ok , i 'm sorry . go on . opal : well , chris was really coming apart at the seams about you rendezvousing with jack . i have never seen him that out of control . erica : opal , do n't tell me that you are suggesting that -- that chris -- opal : i 'm more than suggesting it , honey . i 'm saying it flat - out . erica : that 's ridiculous . bianca : opal , no . chris is just not capable of that . opal : not the chris that you know and love , no . but the one i saw , the one who was possessed by the green - eyed monster -- that is another story altogether . erica : opal , that 's really enough . opal : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but i saw chris just a few hours ago , and i got this very clear premonition that somebody was going to die . erica : that 's it ? that 's what you 're basing all this on -- some flash of e.s.p . ? opal , let me tell you something . when i told chris that jackson was missing , he was genuinely concerned . opal : well , of course he was , because he knows what his passion has driven him to . erica : no ! you are wrong ! chris is not like that . chris believes in law and he believes in justice , and he would never take it into his own hands . opal : well , except that you are the one person that could maybe push him right over the edge . erica : i do n't believe this . i am suffering right now . do you have to say these things to me ? opal : jackson is the one who is suffering . and he is suffering because he could not resist your charms . and that just may be the death of him . aidan : so you and your mum kissed and made up ? kendall : is it so hard for you to believe that erica wants to give me a second chance ? i mean , just because you did n't does n't mean that she would n't . aidan : i 'm sorry ; i gave you plenty of second chances , kendall . and you know what i realized ? that people do n't change who they are or how they feel overnight . ok ? kendall : oh . they do n't , huh ? well , are n't you in love with someone who 's done just that ? aidan : no , we 're talking attitude here . and you 're in no position to -- kendall : to what ? to judge you the way you 've been judging me ? why not ? aidan : because our situations are completely different . kendall : oh , please . you know why you do n't want to believe that people can change overnight ? because then you 'd have to admit that , deep down , your dear , sweet maureen really is maria , no matter what she 's been telling you . and you know it . maria : maddie -- edmund : whatwhat 's that about ? maria : look , i 'm really -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . i just thought you were working . edmund : no , it 's ok . i -- i was . maria : um -- well , you know what , maddie ? you better apologize right now because that was not very nice . maddie : no . edmund : maddie . maddie : you lied to me . you said you and daddy were just friends . mia : maddie , we are friends . we 're good friends . maddie : liar ! edmund : maddie . wait , i -- i 'll go talk to her . maria : ok . mia : well , this is awkward . maria : yeah . it did n't have to be . mia : look , edmund and i never would have -- if we knew that you were going to be coming home early . maria : well , i do n't think that that 's really what made it awkward , mia . mia : i know it 's a lot for a little girl to see . it was a lot for her , but we 've been honest with her and we 've been honest with you . maria : really ?

michael : no . and if you cooperate , nothing changes . lena : michael , she 's done nothing wrong . michael : she used to work for the secret police , lena . i 'm sure a few people would disagree with you . but take heart . do as i say , that stays buried . lena : you do n't care what happens to me or to her . michael : compassion is for the weak . i only promised you a paycheck . lena : that 's what it 's all about to you , is n't it ? power . michael : what else is there , lena ? huh ? lena : love . michael : what ? what , like you and bianca have ? please , she 's just a mark to you , lena . right ? lena : you know , i thought that after all this time you spent with kendall , i thought you 'd feel something for her . michael : what , that i would fall in love with her while i was sharing my bed with you ? all it was to me was amusement , lena . lena : you 're sick . michael : and you have to do as you 're told , without question . lena : as if i ever had any choice . michael : ok . you want choice ? you got it . do as you 're told , your mother lives . you go against me , i 'm sure you 're well aware of what i can do to your mother -- well , what 's left of her life , and how unpleasant it will be . and one more thing -- bianca will learn the truth about you . erica : joe , how is he ? how did the surgery go ? joe : hi . he 's stable . erica : oh , thank god ! joe : we were able to remove the bullet from his chest , and there 's no damage to the nearby organs . but he did lose quite a bit of blood , and we still do n't know how long he was unconscious before he was found . opal : what exactly are you trying to say , joe ? joe : that we ca n't predict how extensive the damage may be over the long term . erica : what kind of damage ? look , i 'm prepared . i mean , i 'm going to be there for him , whatever he needs . joe : well , it may not be quite that simple . erica : why not ? joe : because jack may not be the same man he was before he was shot . bianca : what do you mean ? opal : you talking about brain damage ? joe : it 's a possibility . erica : i want to see him , joe . joe : he 's still very heavily sedated . it -- erica : joe , he needs me . i want to see him . aidan : you do n't know what you 're talking about when it comes to maureen . kendall : i know she used to be maria . do you ? aidan : everyone has a past , kendall . at least maureen 's is n't one to be ashamed of . kendall : oh , come on , aidan , your chickie is no saint . you 're setting her up to be this person that she 's not , that she may never be . aidan : really ? is that something you learned from getting down with michael cambias ? kendall : you 're way off about him , ok ? aidan : am i ? or is it just because you two crashed and burned ? kendall : ok , for your information , michael and i are back together . aidan : are you serious ? how many times are you going to let this guy walk all over you ? bianca : kendall , have you seen lena ? kendall : no , she was here earlier . i do n't know where she went . bianca : ok . opal : you know , i can use a caffeine boost . would you like to keep me company ? bianca : sure . mom , if lena comes back , would you -- erica : i 'll tell her where to go . bianca : ok . thank you . erica : ok . joe , could you just give me one moment , please ? joe : yes . yes , of course . aidan : erica , how 's jackson ?

aidan : erica thanking you . kendall : do n't worry , i do n't think it 's one of the official signs of the apocalypse . aidan : well , i guess i owe you an apology . kendall : no , that 's ok . i was -- i was really harsh about maureen . listen , if maria has n't come back by now , i 'm sure she never will , so i 'm sure you 're in the clear . she 's all yours . maddie : you said mommy was the most beautiful lady you ever saw . edmund : i did say that , yes . maddie : then how come you do n't kiss mommy the way you do mia ? edmund : well , because -- because mommy 's in love with aidan , and i respect that . maddie : are you in love with mia ? edmund : i do n't know . i do like her a lot . i know that . and you would , too , if you gave her a chance . maddie : i do n't want mia to be my mom . edmund : oh , sweetheart , she 's not trying to be your mom , ok ? maddie : then what is she doing ? edmund : she 's getting close to me . honey , i know you did n't like what you saw back at the house , and i 'm sorry . but i 'm not going to lie to you and say it 's not going to happen again because -- because it will . and i know you want it to be with mommy , but -- but it wo n't be , and that 's not mia 's fault , ok ? maddie : ok . edmund : so what do you say we go back to the house and you apologize to her ? maddie : is that what you want me to do ? edmund : you know it 's the right thing to do . ok ? come on . come here , sweetie . ready to climb ? maddie : yeah . edmund : one , two -- edmund and maddie : three , four , five , six mia : maureen , i never lied to maddie . i think she was upset because she walked in on us . maria : no , you obviously said something to her that was misleading . mia : i told her that edmund and i are friends , which we are . maria : ok , look , i 'm just -- i 'm very concerned for my daughter and what she 's going through right now , and maybe what you said to her and what you 're showing her are two different things . mia : well , you would know , would n't you ? maria : what 's that supposed to mean ? mia : did n't you tell maddie that you cared about her but you could n't be her mommy ? and do n't you show her all the time that you 'd rather be with aidan than with her ? maria : you know what , you are way out of line . you know what ? i have been nothing but honest with maddie about how i feel about her and how i feel about aidan . and -- ok , you know what the bottom line is ? edmund and i have already decided how to handle this . mia : oh . i did n't know there was an edmund and you . maria : oh , yeah , there is . mia : oh . maria : there is and there always will be because of the kids . mia : well , that 's very convenient . so you can just come and go as you please . if you ask me , it 's pretty selfish . maria : i did n't . and come on , who do you think you are , anyway ? mia : well , i think i 'm probably the only one who 's not afraid to call you on what you 're doing . maria : wow . i 'm so sorry that you 're threatened by me . mia : i 'm not threatened by you , really . maria : hey , maddie . how you doing ? you ok ? edmund : maddie has something she 'd like to say . go on , sweetheart . we 're listening . maddie , you remember what we talked about ? maddie : yes . i 'm sorry . mia : thank you . apology accepted . edmund : there . do n't you feel better now ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : what do you mean you 're gon na put a rush on this ? this was already supposed to be a rush . yeah , i need the results asap . what have you got for me , valerie ? valerie : the cell company 's records for charlie heinick 's phone . nathan : great . valerie : also , ava jerome is screaming bloody murder , demanding to know where her lawyer is . nathan : yeah -- do n't know , do n't care . besides , is n't that a problem for the public defender 's office ? valerie : supposedly , ava 's brother hired someone to rep her . [ scene_break ] ava : i have a right to talk to my attorney ! scott : you rang ? ava : oh , you . you get out of here and take that little smirk with you . scott : ah , well , there 's the ava we all know and love and would like to send packing . ava : as you so skillfully got me to admit on the stand ? scott : well , i 'm a top - flight attorney . ava : [ chuckles ] i 'm not interested in watching you gloat . i 'm waiting for my lawyer . scott : well , your wait is over , 'cause your lawyer is here . ava : is that so ? where ? scott : scott baldwin , esquire , at your service . ava : is this a joke ? if it 's a joke , it 's not funny . diane miller is my lawyer . julian put her on retainer . scott : well , i - i guess you 're not up to speed , because your brother has his own legal problems to navigate through , so i do n't think he 's concerned with yours . ava : w - what legal problems ? scott : your brother is in jail -- again . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] julian : hey , lucas , what are you doing here ? lucas : sam told me her dad was back in jail . julian : yeah . [ sighs ] that much is true . lucas : is it also true that you 're the reason that sonny 's in the hospital fighting for his life ? [ scene_break ] ava : you must be mistaken . my brother is out on bail awaiting trial . scott : well , i guess you have n't heard the latest . news flash -- your brother is a guest of the city once again . ava : why ? what ridiculous , trumped - up charge did they use against my brother this time ? scott : oh , ava , you 're gon na love this . your brother had sonny corinthos shot . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , we 've been waiting all night . this -- this is ridiculous . carly : morgan ... morgan : no , this is bull , honestly . carly : it 's surgery . morgan : okay . carly : it takes time . morgan : it 's one bullet . does it take all night to find one bullet ? carly : it 's a delicate surgery , and they need to be careful . morgan : so they ca n't send someone out to tell us what 's going on ? michael : their first priority is dad . morgan : yeah , well , so is ours , michael . michael : so let them do their job . morgan : you want to wait ? fine ! be my guest . i 'm going in to find out what 's up . carly : no , you 're not . there 's no way to find out what 's going on ! morgan : i am going into the or , and i 'm gon na find out what 's up with dad . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny was shot ? where did it happen ? is my daughter all right ? scott : relax , relax , relax . it happened at the van ness warehouse , miles from sonny 's house and miles from his little baby daughter . ava : how badly is he hurt ? scott : oh , i - it 's -- it 's bad . people at the courthouse have got their fingers crossed . they 're thinking that their workload may be cut in half . course , the pcpd is not too happy . ava : because his son is a detective there ? scott : no , because if sonny kicks , there 's gon na be a lot of layoffs . ava : look at you , soul of compassion . scott : oh , i have a lot of compassion . i just do n't have it for corinthos . ava : morgan must be devastated . scott : oh , yeah , yeah , the whole family is sitting vigil . i mean , it 's not exactly the celebration they were looking for . ava : does that mean ... that the wedding did n't happen ? scott : no , it did n't . sonny was , uh , too busy getting shot to make it to the church on time . [ ava 's flashback ] ava : so , when carly becomes mrs. corinthos , she 'll get all the perks that go with it , including my daughter . so that just leaves one option , julian -- you got to stop that wedding . ava : well , i 'll be damned . he really did it . scott : did what ? ava : uh , sonny -- he went and made himself a target -- and on his wedding day , no less . scott : you need to spit it out . what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? [ scene_break ] nathan : ava 's already had her phone call . whether or not her lawyer shows up , that 's out of our hands . valerie : yeah , but we do n't want her squeaking by on a technicality because we denied her representation , even by accident . nathan : look , as far as i 'm concerned , ava jerome could spend the rest of her life rotting in a cell , and she 's gon na do just that . valerie : wow . not a big believer in `` innocent until proven guilty `` ? nathan : look , the best lawyer in the world could not help ava jerome , okay ? we got her dead to rights on killing connie falconeri . she is an escaped prisoner . she is also an accessory after the fact in the murder of silas clay and the kidnapping of her daughter , avery . valerie : no wonder she 's having such a hard time finding representation . nathan : yeah , and all of those things are her problem and not yours . you 're under no obligation to go find her lawyer . valerie : okay . thanks . anything else ? nathan : yeah , yeah , keep an eye out for my lab results , will you ? if they come back positive for gunpowder residue on julian 's clothes , then we can add attempted murder to the charges he 's already facing . if we can put the jerome siblings behind bars , maybe sonny 's family will find some peace . [ scene_break ] olivia : if anyone knows how hard my son tries to hide his pain , it 's me . lulu : he 's always been this way , has n't he ? olivia : [ scoffs ] yeah . i mean , if he fell off his bike or got his heart broken by a girl ... he 'd just shrug it off . well , that 's what he wanted me to believe . [ chuckles ] you could see how hard he was trying to cover up his pain . i mean ... [ sighs ] i remember this one time -- he was about 7 years old -- he slammed his whole into a car door , and , i mean ... lulu : ow . olivia : it must 've hurt like hell . and you could see the tears well up in his eyes , and then they were gone just like that . you know , and i was always telling him , `` it 's okay . it 's okay to cry . `` but , no , he was n't having any of that , so ... lulu : well , what 'd he say ? olivia : he said it was his job to be strong for me . that 's my boy , you know ? lulu : well , now it 's my job to be strong for him . olivia : oh , honey ... [ sniffles ] that 's why i am so glad that you 're my daughter - in - law . lulu : [ laughs ] olivia : [ sniffles ] thank you . okay . i 'm gon na go check on sonny .

[ scene_break ] dante : i love my wife . all i ever wanted was to do right by her and rocco . i never wanted to dishonor my marriage vows . or so i thought . but i got angry ... and jealous , and i thought she was cheating , and i ... i thought my family was slipping away . and i lashed out . i lost it . i 'm asking for your help . [ sighs ] 'cause i 'm trying to fix it . i 'm trying to be ... trying to be the husband that lulu deserves . but i -- i do n't know . i mean ... can you come back from that ? can i be forgiven for what i did ? [ scene_break ] michael : you need to calm down . morgan : you need to get out of my way . carly : you can not bust in the or ! morgan : do we not want to know what 's going on ? carly : of course , we do , morgan . morgan : okay , then , let 's find out . michael : what , and contaminate a sterile environment ? you want to endanger dad while he 's under the knife ? carly : we 're all anxious to find out , but we have to wait . morgan : we 've been waiting ! what are you talking about ? it 's been all night , and no one 's bothered to tell us what 's going on ! carly : patrick said the procedure would take hours . morgan : come on , does it not feel like we 're being handled ? it feels like we 're being handled , like -- like the doctors know something , and they 're not -- they 're not telling us . michael : no , morgan , there 's a bullet in our father that can cause him to bleed out ! morgan : i know that . michael : and that bullet , it did n't just appear there , okay ? it blew through his body and hit a whole bunch of other things before it 's resting next to his spine and nearly paralyzed him ! morgan : okay , all i 'm saying is -- michael : and when they finally remove that bullet , all those things that it hit , they do n't just heal . the doctor has to fix that . morgan : i know that ! okay ? ! i get it ! michael : do you ? because if you go anywhere near that or , i swear to -- carly : michael , stop ! god . this is not helping . and we ca n't do anything for your father except wait . [ morgan 's flashback ] morgan : i 'm gon na make this right . julian will pay for what he 's done . and i 'm gon na kill him . morgan : you 're wrong about that . [ scene_break ] julian : anybody that told you i had anything to do with sonny 's shooting is a liar . lucas : oh , okay . then what are you doing in here ? police have evidence that you were involved ? julian : oh , yeah . yeah , it 's pretty damning . you see , sonny was shot at a warehouse near pier 54 , right about the same time i was talking to olivia falconeri , also near pier 54 . lucas : okay . that 's nothing . julian : yeah , no kidding . yet , here i am , all thanks to the personal vendetta of a one detective dante falconeri . lucas : alexis working on getting you out ? julian : it 'll work itself out . they may have enough to hold me , but they do n't have enough to make it stick . do n't worry about your old man , all right ? they either have to arraign me or let me go . my guess is , i 'll be out of here by the end of the day . lucas : whether you did it or not . [ scene_break ] nathan : well , so much for that . [ sighs ] valerie : nothing ? no . yeah , the phone call that tj 's kidnapper made to their boss , all the phones are burners . [ sighs ] valerie : well , we have the leader , heinick , on record , claiming that he worked for julian . so if they called their boss , would n't that point directly to jerome ? nathan : well , assuming heinick was telling the truth , then the outgoing call would 've had to have been made to a phone that we can connect to julian . the problem is the phone in question was bought out west months ago , paid for in cash . by now , it 's probably been disposed of . so , as leads go , it 's a dead end . valerie : okay , so , that did n't pan out . maybe the lab will come back with something to point to julian . nathan : maybe . valerie : i 'm gon na head to the hospital , fill dante in . nathan : do n't do that . valerie : why not ? nathan : [ clears throat ] do i really need to say ? [ scene_break ] lulu : dante ? dante : hey . i did n't , uh -- i did n't see you there . is my dad out of the , uh , or ? lulu : no , no . your mom brought us coffee . dante : that was nice of her . remind me to thank her . lulu : i already did , for the both of us . dante : [ sighs ] it 's kelly 's . lulu : she 's worried about you . dante : well , you know , that 's , uh ... her full - time gig and her favorite hobby . lulu : i 'm worried about you , too . dante : well , uh ... do n't worry about me . all our thoughts and concerns should be going to sonny . he 's the one who needs them right now . lulu : well , clearly , he 's not the only one . when i came into the chapel , you were asking forgiveness from god , and you were clearly torn up about it . dante , what could you possibly have done to make you torture yourself like that ? [ scene_break ] ava : how could i know anything about sonny getting shot ? i just found out about it from you . scott : well , need i point out to you that your visitors are on record ? when i signed in , i saw that your brother was here yesterday . ava : oh , so what ? a brother 's not gon na leave his little sister to molder away in a jail cell . scott : well , when your brother is julian jerome , i 'm sure he came over to tell his little sister what was going on . ava : nothing 's `` going on `` with julian . he 's legit . he 's out of the business . scott : of course , he is . ava : and even if he was n't , why would he tell me anything about his plans ? scott : well , because your brother is a preening peacock who has an ego the size of poughkeepsie , who loves to brag , so i 'm sure he came over and he gave you a little taste of what 's going on . ava : well , say he did . why would i tell you ? scott : well , to be straight with me , as your lawyer , is for your own good . ava : my good will be seen to by diane miller . thank you . scott : well , um , diane is not coming , not now , not today , not ever . [ scene_break ] julian : et tu , lucas ? please do n't tell me you think i did this . lucas : the only reason you would do this is if you were still in the business , right ? julian : well , i 'm not . which you also do n't believe , i see . lucas : [ sighs ] you know , i really want to . julian : i do n't know what else i can say to convince you . yeah , that makes two of us . lucas : sorry , but we 've been down this road before . julian : yeah . that was different . look , i had every intention of leaving the mob , but you know what happened . you were shot and almost died , so , yeah , i stayed in , but this time it 's different . lucas : you know what ? [ sighs ] julian : it 's different , lucas , okay ? i had somebody pulling my strings . this time , i walked away , and i 'm free . lucas : do us both a favor , dad -- do n't tell me this now only to have the truth come out later in some other spectacular disaster . julian : hey , whoa , whoa , whoa , look , i would 've much rather spent the night in my own bed . now , other than sharing my quarters with a few water bugs , i 'm not sure what would qualify as a disaster . lucas : carly is my sister . she was supposed to marry sonny yesterday , but a bullet put an end to that . that 's the disaster . [ scene_break ] carly : you go near the or , and i will have the nurses call security . morgan : yes , okay , i heard michael . i 'm not gon na go in the or . michael : [ breathes deeply ] okay . so , then , what can we do for dad that we have n't done already ? olivia : hey . what 's the word ? carly : hi . we do n't know yet . olivia : well , has n't it been a really long time ? morgan : thank you , olivia . see ? she gets it . time to take action . olivia : no , no , wait , i did not say anything about taking any action . morgan : well , we got to do something . we got to do something . carly : patrick . is he okay ? how 's sonny ? [ scene_break ] ava : poaching clients by claiming their representation has abandoned them ? well , that 's slimy , even for you . scott : uh , well , then , where 's diane ? i - i do n't see her . ava : oh , she 'll be here . i 'm sure . julian said that she 'd be in touch very shortly . scott : oh , yeah . and he 's so trustworthy . listen , i got it from the horse 's mouth . you see , diane ripped up julian 's check , because she has washed her hands of the whole jerome family . ava : first of all , i seriously doubt that diane has ever torn up a check in her entire life . and secondly , she ca n't do that . she has a duty to us . scott : well , she also has a conflict of interest . she -- you see , she 's intimate with max , the goon . ava : and so diane ca n't represent me because her boyfriend does n't approve ? scott : yeah , it turns out that , uh , max does n't approve of women that murder his boss 's girlfriend . ava : allegedly . scott : so , diane rang me up , and she said , `` you should take this case . `` so you can thank me now . ava : why would you help me after what i did to your son ? scott : oh , well , you 've done a lot of horrible things to my son . you 're gon na have to just be a little more specific . ava : i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm talking about the picture of nina holding the knife that killed silas . scott : oh , that . see , i thought you were gon na say , uh , letting him think that kiki was his daughter for 20 years . ava : [ sighs ] scott : but that one works , too . ava : i threatened to give that photo to the police . scott : yeah , that was very naughty of you . but due to my crackerjack lawyering , it all worked out . ava : you mean when you blew my cover on the stand ? do n't you think it 'll look a little odd for you to turn around and defend me now ? scott : no , i do n't . it 'll look like every lawyer who 's trying to make a buck . so , if i was you ... [ sighs ] i would wise up and hire me . because i have no qualms getting into bed with sonny 's enemies . [ scene_break ] lucas : sam rode with sonny in the ambulance . [ sighs ] paramedics could n't get him stabilized . she does n't know if he 's gon na make it . julian : did he ? lucas : i do n't know . last i heard , he was in surgery . julian : well , i hope ... [ breathes deeply ] i hope , for his family , he survives . lucas : for his family ? [ scoffs , chuckles ] listen to what you just said . do you have any idea what his family is going through right now ? the fear , t - the indecision , the bargaining with god ? waiting for the surgeon to come in and tell them hopefully good news ? they 're just sitting there waiting to see if he 's gon na live . [ scene_break ] patrick : the surgery was a success . we were able to remove the bullet without causing anymore damage . but he 's still in critical condition . morgan : thank you . thank you so much . thank you . carly : morgan , come on . patrick : sonny came through the surgery just fine , but there 's a lot more work to be done . carly : okay , what does that mean ? patrick : he 's not out of the woods yet . [ scene_break ] scott : ava , ava , ava ... after all this , you have no faith in me ? ava : faith does n't mean so much in the face of evidence . you used to be the da . you know the prosecution will bury me with that damn recording from aj 's phone . scott : not if they 're not in possession of it . ava : do n't you think i know that ? i figured if i could make that recording go away , then i could resume my life as a free woman . unfortunately , you quit the da 's office to defend franco , and now ric 's got the recording . and we both know he wo n't hesitate to use it . scott : let me say this a little slower . he ca n't if he does n't have it ! ava : of course , he has it . scott : no . i do . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante deserves to know we hit a snag . nathan : i know that . i just think we should wait , all right ? sonny 's prognosis is uncertain , at best , and ... dante 's probably losing his mind . valerie : yeah , but he 'll still want to know the status of the investigation . nathan : i get that . i just do n't think we should make it worse by bringing him bad news . we should just let him focus on his family . valerie : i am family -- extended family , anyway . look , i know he could use the distraction . nathan : yeah , i just do n't think that letting him know we 're not gon na be able to keep julian is the distraction he needs . valerie : why are you on my case ? is this because you think maxie does n't like me ? nathan : no , this has nothing to do with maxie . valerie : then what is it ? nathan : look ... i know . valerie : know what ? nathan : i know about you and dante . okay ? i know you slept together . [ scene_break ] lulu : what do you think you need forgiveness for ? dante : uh , what i said to sonny . lulu : what did you say to sonny ? dante : [ sighs ] last night , when i was with him , i , uh ... i should 've just been talking to him and ... comforting him as a son , and , uh ... instead , i got angry and told him that he chose his way of life with the violence , and i ... i blamed him for lying in that bed and being shot and causing us pain , and then that 's when the machines went off . his heart stopped , and that 's , um ... pretty much because of me . lulu : no , it 's not because of you . dante : yeah , patrick said to reassure him , not unload on him . lulu : sonny 's heart -- his heart stopped because the bullet changed position inside him . nothing you said did that . there is no reason for you to beat yourself up . dante : actually , that 's not true at all . [ scene_break ] julian : i do n't know what you want me to tell you . lucas : nothing . just listen . just listen to what i 'm gon na say . julian : all right . lucas : every morning , i walk into the er , and i 'm greeted by gunshot wounds , knife wounds , broken bones , bruises from people who 've been mugged by some random stranger or had the crap kicked out of them by somebody they know . and i see -- i see their families and their friends , and i have to talk to them . [ sighs ] sometimes , it 's good news , and sometimes i have to go to them , and i have to say , `` despite my best efforts , somebody that you love has died under my watch . `` julian : i 'm sorry . that must be terrible . lucas : yeah , it is . and thanks to the business -- the business -- there 's no end in sight . 'cause violence begets violence . every day , cops , mobsters , random thugs send somebody else to the hospital , another victim that i got to try to fix , another family that i do n't know how the hell to comfort . julian : you save lives . lucas : sometimes . but what if , the next time , it 's my family ? what if the next person they wheel in to my er is you ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . we know he 's not going boxing , but can you tell us what we 're up against ? patrick : it 's too soon to say specifically . morgan : well , but can you give us , like ... [ sighs ] ... for instance , like , so we know what to expect ? patrick : he suffered an enormous trauma from that bullet wound . there 's swelling around his spine . once that subsides , we 'll be able to assess the damage and determine the long - term effects , if any . michael : [ sighs ] do you have any idea how long it 'll be till we know anything ? patrick : a few days . look , i realize that this is difficult for everybody . you 're gon na have to be there for him , okay ? you 're gon na need to support him through this . carly : of course . absolutely . we 're not going anywhere . morgan : yeah , no , definitely . olivia : so -- so , can we see him ? patrick : once we get him squared away , yes . olivia : okay , i 'm gon na go get dante and lulu . they 're gon na want to be here when he gets back . carly : thank you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] valerie : me and dante ? where did you get that impression ? nathan : from dante . valerie : what ? nathan : he told me not long after it happened . valerie : he was so determined to keep this a secret . nathan : i know . i know . and , you know , look , he was torn up , all right ? he only said anything because he needed somebody to talk to . valerie : and you think it 's my fault . nathan : no . no , not at all . dante took full responsibility . valerie : how chivalrous of him . well , since dante 's keeping you in the loop , then you must know we have an understanding . we 're not supposed to mention this at all to anybody . nathan : i know . i got that . valerie : then why are you bringing it up ? nathan : because of the way you behave around him . valerie : how do i behave around dante ? nathan : let 's take right now for example . you have an update about a case that you want to relay . so , instead of calling him with that information , your first instinct is to go to him . valerie : yeah , that does n't mean that -- nathan : and -- and when we came back from the motel , the shooting that night , dante came in with blood all over his shirt , and you flipped out . valerie : i thought he was hurt . nathan : i know that , and i told that to maxie . valerie : what business is it of maxie 's ? nathan : let 's just say she noticed your ... extreme concern . valerie : okay , so , is this just you and maxie ? or does everyone in the office know about it ? nathan : i do n't know , all right ? not that i 've heard . look , i do n't even think maxie would 've given it a second thought if she was n't so protective of lulu . and maybe i 'm misreading this whole thing , and if that 's the case , you just say so , and i 'll back off . so , tell me . am i wrong ? valerie : no . [ scene_break ] lulu : please stop looking for reasons to blame yourself . sonny 's condition , it 's not your fault . dante : that 's not what i 'm talking about . olivia : i 'm so glad i found you . sonny 's out of surgery . they 're bringing him into the icu . dante : is he okay ? olivia : uh , well , so far so good . uh , i 'll tell you the rest on the way . lulu : okay , let 's go . olivia : yeah . [ scene_break ] ava : what did you just say ? scott : i said that i have the recording of you admitting to killing connie . ava : how is that possible ? scott : well , i took it with me when i left the da 's office . ava : not that i 'm not very happy about that , but ... why ? scott : it was a keepsake . it was my most prized possession -- not only you admitting that you killed connie , but sonny admitting that he killed aj quartermaine . this was gon na be my biggest triumph . i mean , corinthos has done so many horrible things to so many people , not to mention my daughter . ava : w -- i was not aware . scott : yeah . karen , my daughter , she 's dead , but that 's another story . but that recording was my chance to balance the scales . but , see , then , you died , and corinthos was pardoned , so the recording was worthless except to me . 'cause i kept it 'cause it kept me going , kept me angling for another shot at corinthos . ava : so , what ? so ... this little talisman -- you no longer need it to motivate you ? scott : well , it 's up here , see ? i have a good memory . but the recording is more important to you because ... without it , the da has nothing on you . ava : and i walk . scott : yeah , yeah , you would . so , for the very low , low price of , say ... [ sighs ] $ 5 million , it 's yours . is that fair ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i have feelings for dante . oh , it 's a been a while since i 've said that out loud . [ sighs ] it 's ... hard not to be attached to someone who 's made it a point to be there for you ... when your world is falling apart . nathan : [ sighs ] i understand . valerie : do you ? nathan : yeah . that 's kind of how maxie and i fell in love . valerie : you two love each other . you 're lucky . 'cause my feelings for dante are pretty much one - sided . nathan : and you wish they were n't ? valerie : no , i ... i 'm not selfish enough to wish my happiness at dante 's expense . dante is committed to his family . he loves lulu and rocco , and it would break his heart to lose them . i wo n't be the reason that happens . nathan : i 'm glad to hear that . i want , uh -- i want lulu and dante to move on together . valerie : that 's what we all want . nathan : [ sighs ] but i want you to be happy , too . valerie : why do you care if i 'm happy or not ? nathan : it 's who i am , i guess . look , lulu lied , and it spiraled . and because of that , three people -- four , if you count dillon -- made mistakes , and nobody had any evil intent , and nobody was out to hurt anybody , but i think the best thing that can happen is for this to just stay in the past , so we can all move on . valerie : well ... how about we start ... [ chuckles ] by honoring my agreement with dante and never speaking of this again ? nathan : that 's fine by me . besides , i , uh -- i know you 're seeing dillon . and maybe something good will come of that . valerie : maybe . [ telephone ringing ] nathan : ah , it 's the lab , finally . i hope they got something on julian . yeah , you got something for me ? [ scene_break ] lucas : you might walk out of here in a few hours , but sonny 's people are gon na blame you for the shooting . julian : then i 'll just have to be careful . [ cell door rattles ] lucas : shut up ! do n't do that , dad ! julian : [ sighs ] lucas : do n't act like a mob war and a death threat is not a big deal -- it is . morgan 's furious . julian : and morgan 's an idiot . lucas : well , morgan 's my nephew . a - a - and his dad might die . and all he knows is that the guy that used tj to lure sonny to the warehouse said he 's working for you . julian : somebody set me up ! i had nothing to do with any of this . lucas : well , like i said , i 'd love to believe that , but sonny 's people are n't going to , especially since you were in the vicinity of the shooting . julian : that should be exactly the reason why i 'm not behind this . look ... [ chuckles ] okay , if i was to hire somebody to take sonny out at some warehouse , do n't you think the last place i 'd want to be is at the same warehouse ? lucas : well , you 're telling me that if they search every inch of that place that they 're not gon na find any evidence that you 're involved ? julian : not a hair . not a print . not a fiber . i told you , these cops have no reason to hold me . lucas : [ chuckling ] oh , well , that 's great . great ! good for you , but we both know that the police are not your biggest problem . sonny 's people are gon na blame you for this . and sam 's worried they 're gon na retaliate . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] patrick : you can go in . one at a time , please . keep it brief . carly : honey , you go . you 've been the most anxious to see him . morgan : uh ... dante : carly , you go . it 's your time . michael : yeah . [ beeping continues ] [ scene_break ] ava : you want $ 5 million to represent me ? scott : no . i want $ 1 to represent you , and the rest is for the recording . ava : that 's ludicrous . it 's too much . scott : really ? $ 5 million for your freedom ? you were willing to become another person down to your dna and everything in your bones . ava : i did n't do that on purpose . it was a happy coincidence . scott : well , whatever . do you want to get out and see your kids ? i mean , if you do , you need to pony up right now and hire me . otherwise , that recording will find its way back into the da 's office . so how much is it worth ? how much is it worth to you for a life with your kids ? ava : if i do manage to get my hands on this kind of money , what assurances do i have that you 'll give me the recording ? scott : well , you 're just gon na have to trust me . okay . well , look at it this way -- the longer it 's in my possession , the better the chances of the pd tracking it back to me . so you 're kind of doing me a favor taking it off my hands . ava : a $ 5 million favor . scott : well , whoever said , `` the best things in life are free , `` was n't staring down the barrel of a life sentence . ava : that 's a lot of money . scott : well , i 'm sure you can get your little paws on it . ava : i may have something squirreled away . scott : your money or your life . ava : tell me , do you do custody cases ? scott : i do . ava : because i will need further representation . my first act as a free woman will be to take my daughter back from sonny and carly . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] carly : hey . it 's me . i 'm here . we 're all here -- morgan , dante , and michael . even olivia and lulu -- everybody wants to see you . patrick just said `` one at a time , `` because he thinks that you ca n't handle all of us coming in at once ... even though you came through the surgery with flying colors . i was so scared , sonny . i was so scared . but i should 've trusted you . i should 've known that you were n't gon na leave us . but you know me . i 'm never satisfied . i just need to be certain . [ chuckles ] i need to be certain that you 're gon na be okay . can you please open your eyes and come back to me . morgan : hey , hey , now that -- now that dad 's out of surgery , you need to remind jordan , okay , your boss , that dad warned her about julian already . dante : morgan , the commissioner is aware of the situation . morgan : no , no , no , no . yes . it is the pd 's fault that dad got shot . they did not move fast enough to get julian . michael : morgan , you need to ease up . you 're upsetting yourself . dante : julian is behind bars . he 's not going anywhere . valerie : i 'm sorry to intrude . lulu : do n't be silly . you 're family . olivia : yeah , and we got good news -- sonny 's out of surgery , and patrick says he 's gon na be okay . [ both sigh ] valerie : oh , i 'm so happy for all of you . michael : yeah . how are you feeling ? i know you had to leave early yesterday . valerie : i 'm fine , thanks . i was at work today . that 's actually why i 'm here . i 've got an update . morgan : about what ? about the investigation ? i mean , do they have evidence that julian shot my dad ? valerie : i 'm afraid it 's not good news . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] you know , i hate to say this , but ... [ sighs ] sam might be right . right before dante shanghaied me in here , morgan came after me . he 's pretty convinced that i tried to hurt his father . as a matter of fact , there was no reasoning with him . actually , there was no reasoning with either of them . lucas : well , their dad might be dying , so , i do n't know , maybe cut them a little slack . julian : well , of course , but sonny 's people are n't gon na be cutting me any slack . as a matter of fact , they 're probably loading their weapons right now . lucas : that does n't worry you a bit , huh ? julian : i 've lasted this long . lucas : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] you know what everybody has in common up until the moment they die ? julian : what 's that ? lucas : they 've lasted this long . [ buzzer , door opens ] julian : i know you 're concerned , and i know you think i 'm just posturing ... lucas : yeah . julian : ... but trust me -- i can take care of myself . lucas : well , i hope you 're right , dad . [ keys rattle ] nathan : well , jerome , it 's your lucky day . you 're in the clear , for now , as far as the pd 's concerned . julian : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] valerie : the test for gunpowder residue on julian came back negative . without corroborating evidence , nathan had to let him go . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , what ? the guy that shot my dad is just going free now ? [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , everybody wants to see you , especially morgan . oh , he 's having such a hard time . he 's so scared . but he just needs to know that you 're gon na be all right . and i need to know that , too . so can you do it for me and the boys ? can you open up your eyes and come back to us ? sonny ? hey . [ sighing ] hey . [ next_on ] morgan ( to michael ) : dad saved him . he owes us . ava ( to julian ) : i 'm gon na get my baby back . sonny ( to carly ) : the only reason i got through this was because of you and the kids . nathan ( to dante ) : there 's something you 've got ta know . scott ( to judge ) : why is he asking for a continuance ? molly : welcome back ! alexis : i 'm not alone ! | there is still uncertainty with sonny 's outcome as he remains unconscious . patrick informs his family that surgery went well but he ca n't promise anything encouraging and it 's all still uncertain . morgan makes it clear he might want to take the law into his own hands with julian . although it appears obvious that julian had sonny shot right when ava informed him that something has to be done in order to prevent sonny from marrying carly and having the two of them taking ava 's baby from her , julian appears very confident that the cops have nothing on him . the pcpd does , in fact , realize they can not keep julian in custody any longer so nathan goes to release him . as soon as morgan finds that out , he is clearly not going to `` accept `` that . nathan admits to valerie that he is aware that she slept with dante . he and maxie are friends of dante and lulu and he does not approve however he concludes that he can see that she respects his friends ' marriage just like he does , he assumes it was just a `` one time thing `` , realizes she is now seeing dylan quartermaine and so he is willing to put it in the past and forget about it . little does he ( or anyone else for that matter ) know that it 's not that simple since she is pregnant . | <s>[INST] lulu : no , still no word on sonny . i hate to ask you this , but could you look after rocco just a little bit longer ? thank you , maxie . you 're the best . yeah , i 'll call you as soon as i hear anything . bye . olivia : hey , honey . here you go . lulu : oh . olivia : you and dante should not start this , of all days , with vending - machine coffee ... lulu : oh , my gosh . olivia : so i stopped at kelly 's on the way over . lulu : thank you . i ca n't tell you how badly we need this . olivia : it was the least i could do . i dropped some off to carly and the boys up in the icu . lulu : any word about sonny ? olivia : nothing yet . morgan 's wearing a hole in the floor , and michael is practicing being a big brother . lulu : how 's carly ? olivia : she 's trying to stay sane . how about my boy ? where is he ? lulu : he 's in the chapel . olivia : yeah . how 's he holding up ? lulu : you know dante -- he 's trying to pretend like everything 's fine , but i think he 's barely holding on . olivia : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm here to pray for my father 's life and to , uh ... ask forgiveness . i judged my father when i had no right to . who am i to criticize him when i cheated on my wife ? [ scene_break ] nathan : what do you mean you 're gon na put a rush on this ? this was already supposed to be a rush . yeah , i need the results asap . what have you got for me , valerie ? valerie : the cell company 's records for charlie heinick 's phone . nathan : great . valerie : also , ava jerome is screaming bloody murder , demanding to know where her lawyer is . nathan : yeah -- do n't know , do n't care . besides , is n't that a problem for the public defender 's office ? valerie : supposedly , ava 's brother hired someone to rep her . [ scene_break ] ava : i have a right to talk to my attorney ! scott : you rang ? ava : oh , you . you get out of here and take that little smirk with you . scott : ah , well , there 's the ava we all know and love and would like to send packing . ava : as you so skillfully got me to admit on the stand ? scott : well , i 'm a top - flight attorney . ava : [ chuckles ] i 'm not interested in watching you gloat . i 'm waiting for my lawyer . scott : well , your wait is over , 'cause your lawyer is here . ava : is that so ? where ? scott : scott baldwin , esquire , at your service . ava : is this a joke ? if it 's a joke , it 's not funny . diane miller is my lawyer . julian put her on retainer . scott : well , i - i guess you 're not up to speed , because your brother has his own legal problems to navigate through , so i do n't think he 's concerned with yours . ava : w - what legal problems ? scott : your brother is in jail -- again . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] julian : hey , lucas , what are you doing here ? lucas : sam told me her dad was back in jail . julian : yeah . [ sighs ] that much is true . lucas : is it also true that you 're the reason that sonny 's in the hospital fighting for his life ? [ scene_break ] ava : you must be mistaken . my brother is out on bail awaiting trial . scott : well , i guess you have n't heard the latest . news flash -- your brother is a guest of the city once again . ava : why ? what ridiculous , trumped - up charge did they use against my brother this time ? scott : oh , ava , you 're gon na love this . your brother had sonny corinthos shot . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , we 've been waiting all night . this -- this is ridiculous . carly : morgan ... morgan : no , this is bull , honestly . carly : it 's surgery . morgan : okay . carly : it takes time . morgan : it 's one bullet . does it take all night to find one bullet ? carly : it 's a delicate surgery , and they need to be careful . morgan : so they ca n't send someone out to tell us what 's going on ? michael : their first priority is dad . morgan : yeah , well , so is ours , michael . michael : so let them do their job . morgan : you want to wait ? fine ! be my guest . i 'm going in to find out what 's up . carly : no , you 're not . there 's no way to find out what 's going on ! morgan : i am going into the or , and i 'm gon na find out what 's up with dad . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny was shot ? where did it happen ? is my daughter all right ? scott : relax , relax , relax . it happened at the van ness warehouse , miles from sonny 's house and miles from his little baby daughter . ava : how badly is he hurt ? scott : oh , i - it 's -- it 's bad . people at the courthouse have got their fingers crossed . they 're thinking that their workload may be cut in half . course , the pcpd is not too happy . ava : because his son is a detective there ? scott : no , because if sonny kicks , there 's gon na be a lot of layoffs . ava : look at you , soul of compassion . scott : oh , i have a lot of compassion . i just do n't have it for corinthos . ava : morgan must be devastated . scott : oh , yeah , yeah , the whole family is sitting vigil . i mean , it 's not exactly the celebration they were looking for . ava : does that mean ... that the wedding did n't happen ? scott : no , it did n't . sonny was , uh , too busy getting shot to make it to the church on time . [ ava 's flashback ] ava : so , when carly becomes mrs. corinthos , she 'll get all the perks that go with it , including my daughter . so that just leaves one option , julian -- you got to stop that wedding . ava : well , i 'll be damned . he really did it . scott : did what ? ava : uh , sonny -- he went and made himself a target -- and on his wedding day , no less . scott : you need to spit it out . what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? [ scene_break ] nathan : ava 's already had her phone call . whether or not her lawyer shows up , that 's out of our hands . valerie : yeah , but we do n't want her squeaking by on a technicality because we denied her representation , even by accident . nathan : look , as far as i 'm concerned , ava jerome could spend the rest of her life rotting in a cell , and she 's gon na do just that . valerie : wow . not a big believer in `` innocent until proven guilty `` ? nathan : look , the best lawyer in the world could not help ava jerome , okay ? we got her dead to rights on killing connie falconeri . she is an escaped prisoner . she is also an accessory after the fact in the murder of silas clay and the kidnapping of her daughter , avery . valerie : no wonder she 's having such a hard time finding representation . nathan : yeah , and all of those things are her problem and not yours . you 're under no obligation to go find her lawyer . valerie : okay . thanks . anything else ? nathan : yeah , yeah , keep an eye out for my lab results , will you ? if they come back positive for gunpowder residue on julian 's clothes , then we can add attempted murder to the charges he 's already facing . if we can put the jerome siblings behind bars , maybe sonny 's family will find some peace . [ scene_break ] olivia : if anyone knows how hard my son tries to hide his pain , it 's me . lulu : he 's always been this way , has n't he ? olivia : [ scoffs ] yeah . i mean , if he fell off his bike or got his heart broken by a girl ... he 'd just shrug it off . well , that 's what he wanted me to believe . [ chuckles ] you could see how hard he was trying to cover up his pain . i mean ... [ sighs ] i remember this one time -- he was about 7 years old -- he slammed his whole into a car door , and , i mean ... lulu : ow . olivia : it must 've hurt like hell . and you could see the tears well up in his eyes , and then they were gone just like that . you know , and i was always telling him , `` it 's okay . it 's okay to cry . `` but , no , he was n't having any of that , so ... lulu : well , what 'd he say ? olivia : he said it was his job to be strong for me . that 's my boy , you know ? lulu : well , now it 's my job to be strong for him . olivia : oh , honey ... [ sniffles ] that 's why i am so glad that you 're my daughter - in - law . lulu : [ laughs ] olivia : [ sniffles ] thank you . okay . i 'm gon na go check on sonny . [ breathes deeply ] lulu : okay . olivia , if you hear anything ... olivia : i will come running . i promise . [ scene_break ] dante : i love my wife . all i ever wanted was to do right by her and rocco . i never wanted to dishonor my marriage vows . or so i thought . but i got angry ... and jealous , and i thought she was cheating , and i ... i thought my family was slipping away . and i lashed out . i lost it . i 'm asking for your help . [ sighs ] 'cause i 'm trying to fix it . i 'm trying to be ... trying to be the husband that lulu deserves . but i -- i do n't know . i mean ... can you come back from that ? can i be forgiven for what i did ? [ scene_break ] michael : you need to calm down . morgan : you need to get out of my way . carly : you can not bust in the or ! morgan : do we not want to know what 's going on ? carly : of course , we do , morgan . morgan : okay , then , let 's find out . michael : what , and contaminate a sterile environment ? you want to endanger dad while he 's under the knife ? carly : we 're all anxious to find out , but we have to wait . morgan : we 've been waiting ! what are you talking about ? it 's been all night , and no one 's bothered to tell us what 's going on ! carly : patrick said the procedure would take hours . morgan : come on , does it not feel like we 're being handled ? it feels like we 're being handled , like -- like the doctors know something , and they 're not -- they 're not telling us . michael : no , morgan , there 's a bullet in our father that can cause him to bleed out ! morgan : i know that . michael : and that bullet , it did n't just appear there , okay ? it blew through his body and hit a whole bunch of other things before it 's resting next to his spine and nearly paralyzed him ! morgan : okay , all i 'm saying is -- michael : and when they finally remove that bullet , all those things that it hit , they do n't just heal . the doctor has to fix that . morgan : i know that ! okay ? ! i get it ! michael : do you ? because if you go anywhere near that or , i swear to -- carly : michael , stop ! god . this is not helping . and we ca n't do anything for your father except wait . [ morgan 's flashback ] morgan : i 'm gon na make this right . julian will pay for what he 's done . and i 'm gon na kill him . morgan : you 're wrong about that . [ scene_break ] julian : anybody that told you i had anything to do with sonny 's shooting is a liar . lucas : oh , okay . then what are you doing in here ? police have evidence that you were involved ? julian : oh , yeah . yeah , it 's pretty damning . you see , sonny was shot at a warehouse near pier 54 , right about the same time i was talking to olivia falconeri , also near pier 54 . lucas : okay . that 's nothing . julian : yeah , no kidding . yet , here i am , all thanks to the personal vendetta of a one detective dante falconeri . lucas : alexis working on getting you out ? julian : it 'll work itself out . they may have enough to hold me , but they do n't have enough to make it stick . do n't worry about your old man , all right ? they either have to arraign me or let me go . my guess is , i 'll be out of here by the end of the day . lucas : whether you did it or not . [ scene_break ] nathan : well , so much for that . [ sighs ] valerie : nothing ? no . yeah , the phone call that tj 's kidnapper made to their boss , all the phones are burners . [ sighs ] valerie : well , we have the leader , heinick , on record , claiming that he worked for julian . so if they called their boss , would n't that point directly to jerome ? nathan : well , assuming heinick was telling the truth , then the outgoing call would 've had to have been made to a phone that we can connect to julian . the problem is the phone in question was bought out west months ago , paid for in cash . by now , it 's probably been disposed of . so , as leads go , it 's a dead end . valerie : okay , so , that did n't pan out . maybe the lab will come back with something to point to julian . nathan : maybe . valerie : i 'm gon na head to the hospital , fill dante in . nathan : do n't do that . valerie : why not ? nathan : [ clears throat ] do i really need to say ? [ scene_break ] lulu : dante ? dante : hey . i did n't , uh -- i did n't see you there . is my dad out of the , uh , or ? lulu : no , no . your mom brought us coffee . dante : that was nice of her . remind me to thank her . lulu : i already did , for the both of us . dante : [ sighs ] it 's kelly 's . lulu : she 's worried about you . dante : well , you know , that 's , uh ... her full - time gig and her favorite hobby . lulu : i 'm worried about you , too . dante : well , uh ... do n't worry about me . all our thoughts and concerns should be going to sonny . he 's the one who needs them right now . lulu : well , clearly , he 's not the only one . when i came into the chapel , you were asking forgiveness from god , and you were clearly torn up about it . dante , what could you possibly have done to make you torture yourself like that ? [ scene_break ] ava : how could i know anything about sonny getting shot ? i just found out about it from you . scott : well , need i point out to you that your visitors are on record ? when i signed in , i saw that your brother was here yesterday . ava : oh , so what ? a brother 's not gon na leave his little sister to molder away in a jail cell . scott : well , when your brother is julian jerome , i 'm sure he came over to tell his little sister what was going on . ava : nothing 's `` going on `` with julian . he 's legit . he 's out of the business . scott : of course , he is . ava : and even if he was n't , why would he tell me anything about his plans ? scott : well , because your brother is a preening peacock who has an ego the size of poughkeepsie , who loves to brag , so i 'm sure he came over and he gave you a little taste of what 's going on . ava : well , say he did . why would i tell you ? scott : well , to be straight with me , as your lawyer , is for your own good . ava : my good will be seen to by diane miller . thank you . scott : well , um , diane is not coming , not now , not today , not ever . [ scene_break ] julian : et tu , lucas ? please do n't tell me you think i did this . lucas : the only reason you would do this is if you were still in the business , right ? julian : well , i 'm not . which you also do n't believe , i see . lucas : [ sighs ] you know , i really want to . julian : i do n't know what else i can say to convince you . yeah , that makes two of us . lucas : sorry , but we 've been down this road before . julian : yeah . that was different . look , i had every intention of leaving the mob , but you know what happened . you were shot and almost died , so , yeah , i stayed in , but this time it 's different . lucas : you know what ? [ sighs ] julian : it 's different , lucas , okay ? i had somebody pulling my strings . this time , i walked away , and i 'm free . lucas : do us both a favor , dad -- do n't tell me this now only to have the truth come out later in some other spectacular disaster . julian : hey , whoa , whoa , whoa , look , i would 've much rather spent the night in my own bed . now , other than sharing my quarters with a few water bugs , i 'm not sure what would qualify as a disaster . lucas : carly is my sister . she was supposed to marry sonny yesterday , but a bullet put an end to that . that 's the disaster . [ scene_break ] carly : you go near the or , and i will have the nurses call security . morgan : yes , okay , i heard michael . i 'm not gon na go in the or . michael : [ breathes deeply ] okay . so , then , what can we do for dad that we have n't done already ? olivia : hey . what 's the word ? carly : hi . we do n't know yet . olivia : well , has n't it been a really long time ? morgan : thank you , olivia . see ? she gets it . time to take action . olivia : no , no , wait , i did not say anything about taking any action . morgan : well , we got to do something . we got to do something . carly : patrick . is he okay ? how 's sonny ? [ scene_break ] ava : poaching clients by claiming their representation has abandoned them ? well , that 's slimy , even for you . scott : uh , well , then , where 's diane ? i - i do n't see her . ava : oh , she 'll be here . i 'm sure . julian said that she 'd be in touch very shortly . scott : oh , yeah . and he 's so trustworthy . listen , i got it from the horse 's mouth . you see , diane ripped up julian 's check , because she has washed her hands of the whole jerome family . ava : first of all , i seriously doubt that diane has ever torn up a check in her entire life . and secondly , she ca n't do that . she has a duty to us . scott : well , she also has a conflict of interest . she -- you see , she 's intimate with max , the goon . ava : and so diane ca n't represent me because her boyfriend does n't approve ? scott : yeah , it turns out that , uh , max does n't approve of women that murder his boss 's girlfriend . ava : allegedly . scott : so , diane rang me up , and she said , `` you should take this case . `` so you can thank me now . ava : why would you help me after what i did to your son ? scott : oh , well , you 've done a lot of horrible things to my son . you 're gon na have to just be a little more specific . ava : i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm talking about the picture of nina holding the knife that killed silas . scott : oh , that . see , i thought you were gon na say , uh , letting him think that kiki was his daughter for 20 years . ava : [ sighs ] scott : but that one works , too . ava : i threatened to give that photo to the police . scott : yeah , that was very naughty of you . but due to my crackerjack lawyering , it all worked out . ava : you mean when you blew my cover on the stand ? do n't you think it 'll look a little odd for you to turn around and defend me now ? scott : no , i do n't . it 'll look like every lawyer who 's trying to make a buck . so , if i was you ... [ sighs ] i would wise up and hire me . because i have no qualms getting into bed with sonny 's enemies . [ scene_break ] lucas : sam rode with sonny in the ambulance . [ sighs ] paramedics could n't get him stabilized . she does n't know if he 's gon na make it . julian : did he ? lucas : i do n't know . last i heard , he was in surgery . julian : well , i hope ... [ breathes deeply ] i hope , for his family , he survives . lucas : for his family ? [ scoffs , chuckles ] listen to what you just said . do you have any idea what his family is going through right now ? the fear , t - the indecision , the bargaining with god ? waiting for the surgeon to come in and tell them hopefully good news ? they 're just sitting there waiting to see if he 's gon na live . [ scene_break ] patrick : the surgery was a success . we were able to remove the bullet without causing anymore damage . but he 's still in critical condition . morgan : thank you . thank you so much . thank you . carly : morgan , come on . patrick : sonny came through the surgery just fine , but there 's a lot more work to be done . carly : okay , what does that mean ? patrick : he 's not out of the woods yet . [ scene_break ] scott : ava , ava , ava ... after all this , you have no faith in me ? ava : faith does n't mean so much in the face of evidence . you used to be the da . you know the prosecution will bury me with that damn recording from aj 's phone . scott : not if they 're not in possession of it . ava : do n't you think i know that ? i figured if i could make that recording go away , then i could resume my life as a free woman . unfortunately , you quit the da 's office to defend franco , and now ric 's got the recording . and we both know he wo n't hesitate to use it . scott : let me say this a little slower . he ca n't if he does n't have it ! ava : of course , he has it . scott : no . i do . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante deserves to know we hit a snag . nathan : i know that . i just think we should wait , all right ? sonny 's prognosis is uncertain , at best , and ... dante 's probably losing his mind . valerie : yeah , but he 'll still want to know the status of the investigation . nathan : i get that . i just do n't think we should make it worse by bringing him bad news . we should just let him focus on his family . valerie : i am family -- extended family , anyway . look , i know he could use the distraction . nathan : yeah , i just do n't think that letting him know we 're not gon na be able to keep julian is the distraction he needs . valerie : why are you on my case ? is this because you think maxie does n't like me ? nathan : no , this has nothing to do with maxie . valerie : then what is it ? nathan : look ... i know . valerie : know what ? nathan : i know about you and dante . okay ? i know you slept together . [ scene_break ] lulu : what do you think you need forgiveness for ? dante : uh , what i said to sonny . lulu : what did you say to sonny ? dante : [ sighs ] last night , when i was with him , i , uh ... i should 've just been talking to him and ... comforting him as a son , and , uh ... instead , i got angry and told him that he chose his way of life with the violence , and i ... i blamed him for lying in that bed and being shot and causing us pain , and then that 's when the machines went off . his heart stopped , and that 's , um ... pretty much because of me . lulu : no , it 's not because of you . dante : yeah , patrick said to reassure him , not unload on him . lulu : sonny 's heart -- his heart stopped because the bullet changed position inside him . nothing you said did that . there is no reason for you to beat yourself up . dante : actually , that 's not true at all . [ scene_break ] julian : i do n't know what you want me to tell you . lucas : nothing . just listen . just listen to what i 'm gon na say . julian : all right . lucas : every morning , i walk into the er , and i 'm greeted by gunshot wounds , knife wounds , broken bones , bruises from people who 've been mugged by some random stranger or had the crap kicked out of them by somebody they know . and i see -- i see their families and their friends , and i have to talk to them . [ sighs ] sometimes , it 's good news , and sometimes i have to go to them , and i have to say , `` despite my best efforts , somebody that you love has died under my watch . `` julian : i 'm sorry . that must be terrible . lucas : yeah , it is . and thanks to the business -- the business -- there 's no end in sight . 'cause violence begets violence . every day , cops , mobsters , random thugs send somebody else to the hospital , another victim that i got to try to fix , another family that i do n't know how the hell to comfort . julian : you save lives . lucas : sometimes . but what if , the next time , it 's my family ? what if the next person they wheel in to my er is you ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . we know he 's not going boxing , but can you tell us what we 're up against ? patrick : it 's too soon to say specifically . morgan : well , but can you give us , like ... [ sighs ] ... for instance , like , so we know what to expect ? patrick : he suffered an enormous trauma from that bullet wound . there 's swelling around his spine . once that subsides , we 'll be able to assess the damage and determine the long - term effects , if any . michael : [ sighs ] do you have any idea how long it 'll be till we know anything ? patrick : a few days . look , i realize that this is difficult for everybody . you 're gon na have to be there for him , okay ? you 're gon na need to support him through this . carly : of course . absolutely . we 're not going anywhere . morgan : yeah , no , definitely . olivia : so -- so , can we see him ? patrick : once we get him squared away , yes . olivia : okay , i 'm gon na go get dante and lulu . they 're gon na want to be here when he gets back . carly : thank you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] valerie : me and dante ? where did you get that impression ? nathan : from dante . valerie : what ? nathan : he told me not long after it happened . valerie : he was so determined to keep this a secret . nathan : i know . i know . and , you know , look , he was torn up , all right ? he only said anything because he needed somebody to talk to . valerie : and you think it 's my fault . nathan : no . no , not at all . dante took full responsibility . valerie : how chivalrous of him . well , since dante 's keeping you in the loop , then you must know we have an understanding . we 're not supposed to mention this at all to anybody . nathan : i know . i got that . valerie : then why are you bringing it up ? nathan : because of the way you behave around him . valerie : how do i behave around dante ? nathan : let 's take right now for example . you have an update about a case that you want to relay . so , instead of calling him with that information , your first instinct is to go to him . valerie : yeah , that does n't mean that -- nathan : and -- and when we came back from the motel , the shooting that night , dante came in with blood all over his shirt , and you flipped out . valerie : i thought he was hurt . nathan : i know that , and i told that to maxie . valerie : what business is it of maxie 's ? nathan : let 's just say she noticed your ... extreme concern . valerie : okay , so , is this just you and maxie ? or does everyone in the office know about it ? nathan : i do n't know , all right ? not that i 've heard . look , i do n't even think maxie would 've given it a second thought if she was n't so protective of lulu . and maybe i 'm misreading this whole thing , and if that 's the case , you just say so , and i 'll back off . so , tell me . am i wrong ? valerie : no . [ scene_break ] lulu : please stop looking for reasons to blame yourself . sonny 's condition , it 's not your fault . dante : that 's not what i 'm talking about . olivia : i 'm so glad i found you . sonny 's out of surgery . they 're bringing him into the icu . dante : is he okay ? olivia : uh , well , so far so good . uh , i 'll tell you the rest on the way . lulu : okay , let 's go . olivia : yeah . [ scene_break ] ava : what did you just say ? scott : i said that i have the recording of you admitting to killing connie . ava : how is that possible ? scott : well , i took it with me when i left the da 's office . ava : not that i 'm not very happy about that , but ... why ? scott : it was a keepsake . it was my most prized possession -- not only you admitting that you killed connie , but sonny admitting that he killed aj quartermaine . this was gon na be my biggest triumph . i mean , corinthos has done so many horrible things to so many people , not to mention my daughter . ava : w -- i was not aware . scott : yeah . karen , my daughter , she 's dead , but that 's another story . but that recording was my chance to balance the scales . but , see , then , you died , and corinthos was pardoned , so the recording was worthless except to me . 'cause i kept it 'cause it kept me going , kept me angling for another shot at corinthos . ava : so , what ? so ... this little talisman -- you no longer need it to motivate you ? scott : well , it 's up here , see ? i have a good memory . but the recording is more important to you because ... without it , the da has nothing on you . ava : and i walk . scott : yeah , yeah , you would . so , for the very low , low price of , say ... [ sighs ] $ 5 million , it 's yours . is that fair ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i have feelings for dante . oh , it 's a been a while since i 've said that out loud . [ sighs ] it 's ... hard not to be attached to someone who 's made it a point to be there for you ... when your world is falling apart . nathan : [ sighs ] i understand . valerie : do you ? nathan : yeah . that 's kind of how maxie and i fell in love . valerie : you two love each other . you 're lucky . 'cause my feelings for dante are pretty much one - sided . nathan : and you wish they were n't ? valerie : no , i ... i 'm not selfish enough to wish my happiness at dante 's expense . dante is committed to his family . he loves lulu and rocco , and it would break his heart to lose them . i wo n't be the reason that happens . nathan : i 'm glad to hear that . i want , uh -- i want lulu and dante to move on together . valerie : that 's what we all want . nathan : [ sighs ] but i want you to be happy , too . valerie : why do you care if i 'm happy or not ? nathan : it 's who i am , i guess . look , lulu lied , and it spiraled . and because of that , three people -- four , if you count dillon -- made mistakes , and nobody had any evil intent , and nobody was out to hurt anybody , but i think the best thing that can happen is for this to just stay in the past , so we can all move on . valerie : well ... how about we start ... [ chuckles ] by honoring my agreement with dante and never speaking of this again ? nathan : that 's fine by me . besides , i , uh -- i know you 're seeing dillon . and maybe something good will come of that . valerie : maybe . [ telephone ringing ] nathan : ah , it 's the lab , finally . i hope they got something on julian . yeah , you got something for me ? [ scene_break ] lucas : you might walk out of here in a few hours , but sonny 's people are gon na blame you for the shooting . julian : then i 'll just have to be careful . [ cell door rattles ] lucas : shut up ! do n't do that , dad ! julian : [ sighs ] lucas : do n't act like a mob war and a death threat is not a big deal -- it is . morgan 's furious . julian : and morgan 's an idiot . lucas : well , morgan 's my nephew . a - a - and his dad might die . and all he knows is that the guy that used tj to lure sonny to the warehouse said he 's working for you . julian : somebody set me up ! i had nothing to do with any of this . lucas : well , like i said , i 'd love to believe that , but sonny 's people are n't going to , especially since you were in the vicinity of the shooting . julian : that should be exactly the reason why i 'm not behind this . look ... [ chuckles ] okay , if i was to hire somebody to take sonny out at some warehouse , do n't you think the last place i 'd want to be is at the same warehouse ? lucas : well , you 're telling me that if they search every inch of that place that they 're not gon na find any evidence that you 're involved ? julian : not a hair . not a print . not a fiber . i told you , these cops have no reason to hold me . lucas : [ chuckling ] oh , well , that 's great . great ! good for you , but we both know that the police are not your biggest problem . sonny 's people are gon na blame you for this . and sam 's worried they 're gon na retaliate . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] patrick : you can go in . one at a time , please . keep it brief . carly : honey , you go . you 've been the most anxious to see him . morgan : uh ... dante : carly , you go . it 's your time . michael : yeah . [ beeping continues ] [ scene_break ] ava : you want $ 5 million to represent me ? scott : no . i want $ 1 to represent you , and the rest is for the recording . ava : that 's ludicrous . it 's too much . scott : really ? $ 5 million for your freedom ? you were willing to become another person down to your dna and everything in your bones . ava : i did n't do that on purpose . it was a happy coincidence . scott : well , whatever . do you want to get out and see your kids ? i mean , if you do , you need to pony up right now and hire me . otherwise , that recording will find its way back into the da 's office . so how much is it worth ? how much is it worth to you for a life with your kids ? ava : if i do manage to get my hands on this kind of money , what assurances do i have that you 'll give me the recording ? scott : well , you 're just gon na have to trust me . okay . well , look at it this way -- the longer it 's in my possession , the better the chances of the pd tracking it back to me . so you 're kind of doing me a favor taking it off my hands . ava : a $ 5 million favor . scott : well , whoever said , `` the best things in life are free , `` was n't staring down the barrel of a life sentence . ava : that 's a lot of money . scott : well , i 'm sure you can get your little paws on it . ava : i may have something squirreled away . scott : your money or your life . ava : tell me , do you do custody cases ? scott : i do . ava : because i will need further representation . my first act as a free woman will be to take my daughter back from sonny and carly . [ scene_break ] [ heart monitor beeping ] carly : hey . it 's me . i 'm here . we 're all here -- morgan , dante , and michael . even olivia and lulu -- everybody wants to see you . patrick just said `` one at a time , `` because he thinks that you ca n't handle all of us coming in at once ... even though you came through the surgery with flying colors . i was so scared , sonny . i was so scared . but i should 've trusted you . i should 've known that you were n't gon na leave us . but you know me . i 'm never satisfied . i just need to be certain . [ chuckles ] i need to be certain that you 're gon na be okay . can you please open your eyes and come back to me . morgan : hey , hey , now that -- now that dad 's out of surgery , you need to remind jordan , okay , your boss , that dad warned her about julian already . dante : morgan , the commissioner is aware of the situation . morgan : no , no , no , no . yes . it is the pd 's fault that dad got shot . they did not move fast enough to get julian . michael : morgan , you need to ease up . you 're upsetting yourself . dante : julian is behind bars . he 's not going anywhere . valerie : i 'm sorry to intrude . lulu : do n't be silly . you 're family . olivia : yeah , and we got good news -- sonny 's out of surgery , and patrick says he 's gon na be okay . [ both sigh ] valerie : oh , i 'm so happy for all of you . michael : yeah . how are you feeling ? i know you had to leave early yesterday . valerie : i 'm fine , thanks . i was at work today . that 's actually why i 'm here . i 've got an update . morgan : about what ? about the investigation ? i mean , do they have evidence that julian shot my dad ? valerie : i 'm afraid it 's not good news . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] you know , i hate to say this , but ... [ sighs ] sam might be right . right before dante shanghaied me in here , morgan came after me . he 's pretty convinced that i tried to hurt his father . as a matter of fact , there was no reasoning with him . actually , there was no reasoning with either of them . lucas : well , their dad might be dying , so , i do n't know , maybe cut them a little slack . julian : well , of course , but sonny 's people are n't gon na be cutting me any slack . as a matter of fact , they 're probably loading their weapons right now . lucas : that does n't worry you a bit , huh ? julian : i 've lasted this long . lucas : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] you know what everybody has in common up until the moment they die ? julian : what 's that ? lucas : they 've lasted this long . [ buzzer , door opens ] julian : i know you 're concerned , and i know you think i 'm just posturing ... lucas : yeah . julian : ... but trust me -- i can take care of myself . lucas : well , i hope you 're right , dad . [ keys rattle ] nathan : well , jerome , it 's your lucky day . you 're in the clear , for now , as far as the pd 's concerned . julian : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] valerie : the test for gunpowder residue on julian came back negative . without corroborating evidence , nathan had to let him go . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , what ? the guy that shot my dad is just going free now ? [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , everybody wants to see you , especially morgan . oh , he 's having such a hard time . he 's so scared . but he just needs to know that you 're gon na be all right . and i need to know that , too . so can you do it for me and the boys ? can you open up your eyes and come back to us ? sonny ? hey . [ sighing ] hey . [ next_on ] morgan ( to michael ) : dad saved him . he owes us . ava ( to julian ) : i 'm gon na get my baby back . sonny ( to carly ) : the only reason i got through this was because of you and the kids . nathan ( to dante ) : there 's something you 've got ta know . scott ( to judge ) : why is he asking for a continuance ? molly : welcome back ! alexis : i 'm not alone !Summarize.[/INST]there is still uncertainty with sonny 's outcome as he remains unconscious . patrick informs his family that surgery went well but he ca n't promise anything encouraging and it 's all still uncertain . morgan makes it clear he might want to take the law into his own hands with julian . although it appears obvious that julian had sonny shot right when ava informed him that something has to be done in order to prevent sonny from marrying carly and having the two of them taking ava 's baby from her , julian appears very confident that the cops have nothing on him . the pcpd does , in fact , realize they can not keep julian in custody any longer so nathan goes to release him . as soon as morgan finds that out , he is clearly not going to `` accept `` that . nathan admits to valerie that he is aware that she slept with dante . he and maxie are friends of dante and lulu and he does not approve however he concludes that he can see that she respects his friends ' marriage just like he does , he assumes it was just a `` one time thing `` , realizes she is now seeing dylan quartermaine and so he is willing to put it in the past and forget about it . little does he ( or anyone else for that matter ) know that it 's not that simple since she is pregnant .</s> | 11,532 |
katie : did i just hear what i think i heard ? bill : katie , do n't start jumping to conclusions . katie : am i seriously seeing this -- this sorry excuse for a man standing in your office ? bill : will you listen to me ? katie : you sent him to italy ? to do what ? to traumatize hope ? bill : all right , look , i can see why you would misinterpret this loser being here . and why are you here ? oh , the convict 's looking for money . my son says `` i do `` to your daughter , and you 're looking to get paid . deacon : ( chuckles ) that 's completely ... bill : well , i 'm not giving you anything , pal . you want money ? go see brooke . katie : do n't even bother playing along . i 'm sure he 's already given you plenty of money . the question is , why ? what did my husband ask you to do ? [ scene_break ] liam : i knew you loved me . hope : always . liam : so why did you say that you did n't ? hope : because i needed to make you stop . i need you to stop trying to make us happen . liam : i guess i 'll never understand that if we love each other . hope : no , liam , it does n't matter how much we love each other , because you will never be able to give me your whole heart . liam : i can , and i did . hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : so that 's where thorne disappeared , huh ? taylor : yeah . steffy : should 've known . taylor : he was just being sweet , missing his brother 's wedding like that . then again , ridge may have sent him over there make sure i was n't saddling up a horse . steffy : oh , yeah ? i think that would be awesome . next time . taylor : next time ? steffy : yeah . taylor : is n't this the last time ? steffy : dad and brooke ? taylor : ( sighs ) so tell me about the big , glorious event . steffy : um , cake , tears , vows -- whatever . taylor : so , uh , i think you were pretty wonderful , being there for your father . steffy : thanks . i think so , too . taylor : was liam there ? steffy : uh , yeah . taylor : was he there as your date ? steffy : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : maybe if you had been honest with me . liam : yeah , yeah . i was wrong not to tell you what happened with steffy in italy ... hope : ( sighs ) liam : and even what went down with your father does n't excuse it . but every time i have n't been honest with you , it 's because i did n't want to hurt you . hope : ( scoffs ) no , liam . it 's because you do n't want to get caught . no , if this was about not hurting me , then you never would have made out with steffy in the first place . it 's as easy as that . and not telling me the whole truth is the exact same thing as lying -- maybe not to a spencer ... liam : okay , what is that ? hope : but ... liam : `` not to a spencer `` ? hope : you are just so much more like your father now . [ scene_break ] deacon : first of all , you 're glowing . you look great . katie : cut the crap . what did you do to hope ? bill : he did n't do anything to hope . katie : i am asking him . deacon : um , nothing . i - i was just trying to reconnect with her . katie : and what does my husband have to do with this ? deacon : well , he -- he got -- he got me out of prison . katie : he did ? deacon : yeah . katie : how ? deacon : uh , b -- was it blackmail or -a bribe ? i -- it does n't matter . anyway , i had six years left of my sentence , right ? and who comes walking in to the prison but bill spencer ? the next thing i know ... ( italian accent ) i 'm a headed for italy , huh ? ( normal voice ) it was incredible . unbelievable , right ? and my job , all i had to was keep hope from her wedding , you know ? i mean , look , i did n't really want to do it , right ? but it was my freedom . and all i had to do was postpone her wedding , so i - i did n't really think it was that big a deal . besides that , i - i did n't know about the letter until today . [ scene_break ] steffy : i do n't want you to worry about liam and me , what we 're calling ourselves , whether we 're friends or we 're dating . taylor : well , i 'll do more than worry if i start to think he 's using you . steffy : oh , he 's not . taylor : you 're always there for him , steffy , day or night . steffy : and he would be , too , if the situation were reversed . yeah , he is going through a difficult time , but i 'm gon na be his friend , and i 'm gon na give him love and support . and i 'm just gon na be there for him . i think i 'll be fine with whatever happens next . [ scene_break ] liam : my dad 's been there for me . he 's been encouraging me . hope : mm - hmm . liam : and maybe on some subconscious level ... i do n't know . hope : you are . you 're a lot like him now . and that 's not necessarily a bad thing . i mean , girls like steffy really go for that , so ... liam : hey , come on . hope : hey , act how you want . it 's -- it 's not my business . and i understand trying to please your father . he came to see me today . liam : deacon ? hope : he just showed up ... out of nowhere , like ... ( scoffs ) like on our wedding day . liam : what did he want ? hope : he heard about us . he wanted to check up on me . he said he blames himself for what happened . well , he thinks if he had n't shown up , then we 'd be married right now . liam : well , the man 's not wrong . we would be . we 'd be happy . hope : would we ? or would you still be having your fantasies about steffy ? you know , not sure if you made the right choice about steffy . because you clearly were n't sure the night before our wedding . liam : that 's not true . i knew exactly who i wanted and could n't have : you . [ scene_break ] katie : all these years and you had no contact with hope . deacon : wait a minute , that 's not exactly true . i tried while i was still living in l.a , but the funniest thing -- your sister did not exactly encourage my involvement . katie : what kind of man does something like this to his own daughter ? brooke was right to keep you away from hope . deacon : i know who i am . i got no delusions about there being any good in me , but i tell ya something . i have good kids . i have a good daughter . i 'm proud of hope and the sensitive , articulate woman that she is . and i knew that if i stuck around , somehow i would do something to poison that , so you know what ? i 'm glad i left . katie : so now what ? she 's an adult , so you do n't feel bad messing her up ? deacon : gee , i do n't know , katie . um , a choice between , gosh , six more years in prison , or seeing my daughter ? i 'm sure that does n't make any sense to you . katie : none of this does . deacon : katie , i saw her press conference on the internet . all i saw was my child is miserable , and i just , i -- thought , maybe , i -- i do n't know . katie : what -- what , you -- you could finally act like a father ? deacon : is that so wrong ? yeah , i just -- i thought that maybe , finally , i could do something worthwhile . katie : you 've only done that once , when you walked away . do it again . deacon : what ? katie : go . walk way and do n't come back . be the kind of father you were meant to be . bill : you heard the lady , snitch . she 's gotten everything she needs from you , now get the hell out . out ! are you able to listen , or are you walking out , too ? [ scene_break ] taylor : i am very proud of you , steffy . you know , liam needs to realize that his life would be so much better with you in it . you have so much strength , and you 're so grown up , and you 're mature . the thing is , it 's very unlikely for a person to change after having a heart being so divided for so long . steffy : yeah , but there 's been a change in liam after hope told him it was over . he 's just been really different . he 's been ... colder and -- and it 's all about his business . taylor : cold and businesslike ? that sounds like his father bill , not liam . ( laughs ) steffy : ( chuckles ) i 'm not too worried about it . it 's probably just a reaction to everything that 's happening . but hey , you know , whatever it takes to get you back on your feet . i just hope he goes back to the old liam . taylor : and then he 'll come back to his old wife . [ scene_break ] hope : i told him not to blame himself . i mean , that note changed a lot , but ... it took a lot more than a couple words from him to get us to where we are now . liam : yeah , well , i 'm glad he came back . i know how much he means to you . hope : i hope he 'll stay awhile . uh , i think he feels safe seeing me because my mom 's out of town . liam : well , you know , maybe brooke can learn to accept him if he loves you and wants to be a father to you , show you that he intends to do good . hope : he 's doing that . it 's all i ever wanted : to know my real father . i just never thought that it would cost me you . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not deacon , katie . i wo n't just disappear and never see our son again , if that 's what you 're thinking . katie : i do n't know what i 'm thinking . i do n't know how you could do something like this . bill : i love my son . how could i not -- katie : what about our son ? what about our family ? do you have any idea what you 've done ? you have brought this man into our lives . you 've committed a crime for him . what happens when he shows up here , and he wants something from you ? you have made us beholden to him , and for what ? for what , bill ? so hope would n't marry liam ? what happens when deacon sharpe wants to take us all down with him ? bill : i would never let that happen . katie : how can you say that ? you have handed him all the power . you have no idea what he 's capable of . you do n't know anything . you are so obsessed with your grown son 's love life , with your grown son 's maturity level . `` making him into a man ! `` well , is this what a man does , bill ? sacrificing one family for another ? you have jeopardized everything we have . you have jeopardized our son 's entire future . tell me something . who 's going to teach our son how to be a man when his mother is dead , and his father 's in jail ? bill : do n't even say something like that ! katie : i will tell you something , bill spencer . i will not let you do this to our child . i will not let you turn him into an angry , brooding , carbon copy of yourself . i swear to you , as long as i have breath in my body , i will protect him from you . [ scene_break ] taylor : well , i -- i 'm curious about this , um , this behavior change in liam . steffy : i do n't want you to blow it out of proportion . it 's probably something most people would n't even notice . taylor : well , i do n't know about that . would you say that he 's trying to emulate his father ? steffy : i do n't know . maybe . we had dinner with katie and bill , and bill took it as an opportunity to really drill it into liam what it means to be a spencer , what it means to be a real man . it 's really nothing new from bill , but liam , he was -- he was really listening , and that 's when i started to see this change . taylor : did you ever tell him what his father did ? steffy : you mean about italy ? taylor : about how he caused that whole nightmare and helped deacon get there in the first place ? steffy : well , i do n't see what good it would do . taylor : maybe it 'd make him want to think twice about being more like his father .

you 're -- you 're gon na grab all my stuff , and what are we doing ? caroline : going home . you did what you came to do . so , now we 're gon na go home , because replaying it over and over -- it 's not helping . ridge : i 'm not replaying it . i just -- you did n't see my dad . he -- he was -- caroline : yeah , but everybody 's just gon na need a little time to adjust their thinking . what we did -- it was n't so terrible . and the worst of it ended today , and when you think about it , what 's really changed ? no one got hurt and we 're all the same people . ridge : we 're not the same people . everything 's changed . we just do n't know to what yet . steffy : honestly , i like my job , and i 'm in no hurry to push dad out the door , but if something were to happen , i do n't know why it 's not obvious to anyone that the next person in line is the company president , not rick . thomas : would n't that be a little strange , publicity - wise ?

steffy : you know i put quinn on notice . thomas : yeah , and that 's worked so well for you in the past . thomas : it 's gon na cause problems for you and wyatt . quinn : you do n't actually have to do anything right now . you can let ridge stay where he is . he 's slightly less hated than rick is , and i do n't see either of them answering to steffy . but then again , i do n't know what ridge 's transgression was . eric : you know , they call ridge `` king ridge . `` quinn : yeah , i know . eric : they used to call his mother `` queen stephanie . `` quinn : well , her namesake takes after her . eric : you know how king midas -- everything king midas touched turned to gold ?

because you -- you did -- you gave me your key back . and you told me this was over . more than once . [ chuckles ] and ... i 'm not gon na make a fuss , because that 's not who i am . and i 'm never gon na turn you away from my door , but i do n't think you came here today just to talk . so , in order for me not to get the wrong idea , maybe i need to understand what the wrong idea is .

'cause everybody is . just keep in mind that the harshest judgment of all is -- [ door opens ] caroline : everyone 's gone ? how 'd it go ? ridge : you look really pretty . you know , sometimes the truth does n't set you free . sometimes , the truth just opens the door and leaves you vulnerable . i got to come up with a better story . i fell out of a helicopter over the persian gulf and lost my ability to father a child and that 's why we used my son as a donor . that 's a good one . caroline : yeah , but it 's not what happened . ridge : no . and it 's not our child , is it ? it 's yours with thomas . steffy : thomas . thomas : [ sighs ] how mad are you ? steffy : come here . thomas : i 'm a dad . steffy : yeah . a closet dad , until today . how could you not tell me ? thomas : i had no idea until recently . steffy : yeah , that 's right . dad was temporarily insane . thomas : yeah . things got a lot worse before they got better . steffy : but still . you would tell me all these gory details of all of your relationships , but you said nothing about caroline . i -- thomas : trust me . this happened in an entirely different universe than my love life . rick : you know , let 's make a mental note to upgrade that fireplace . i do n't really want to get any of that smoke film on your portrait when it goes back up there . maya : uh , rick ... rick : ridge is gon na go slinking out of here with his tail between his legs . and then he 's gon na leave caroline , if she has n't left him already . maya : no ! why ? he would have known about her and thomas since she told him she was pregnant , right ? rick : because everybody knows that the woman who was unfaithful to me was unfaithful to him with his own son . his imaginary dignity would never be able to tolerate it . maya : god , it 's such a mess . i almost feel sorry for them . rick : oh , no . do n't feel any sympathy for him . he feeds on it . lord knows i 'm not gon na give him any sympathy , and neither will my father . quinn : steffy 's young . eric : yeah , but she 's sharp . and rick -- rick was just about the best c.e.o . i 've ever seen . uh , and he 's gon na expect to get his job back . quinn : well , he can certainly hold his own against ridge when it comes to swagger . so , ridge is leaving , huh ? eric : it may be best for him to step out of the public eye for a while . quinn : oh . let me guess . conduct not becoming a forrester . eric : i 've been guilty of that myself so often , including possibly this very moment , that i hate to stand in judgment , but , uh , i hate that i have to play favorites . i hate that i have to choose . quinn : so , then do n't . why should n't the c.e.o . be you ? rick : dad said he needed some more time . maya : look , am i always gon na want you to have what you want . you know that . but we both know that eric does n't like to make changes unless he has to . rick : well , he has to . two men , father and son , bedding the same woman ? my dad would never be able to wrap his mind around it . it would just remind him of when ridge destroyed our family . he needs to get it out of his mind and out of his sight . ridge 's lies have finally caught up with him . caroline : thomas is n't asking for anything other than to just be recognized . that 's it . ridge : yeah . he wants to replace me as c.e.o . , too ? caroline : rick seriously is n't using this to try and take your job . ridge : oh , of course . that 's not a shocker . we knew that was gon na happen . caroline : eric wo n't listen to him . he wo n't let that happen . ridge : i do n't know about that . right now , it 's all about what 's real and what is n't . fathers and sons . if he thinks about it , he 's gon na know that he 's not the real father and i 'm not the real son . steffy : so , what ? you feel validated now ? thomas : i feel honest now . why -- why are you doing that ? why do n't you approve ? steffy : i just do n't know how this is gon na work . i do n't know what you want . thomas : i know what exactly what i want . i want to be a father in my son 's life , and i - i got that today . steffy : biologically , you 're his father . but our dad has been raising him . thomas : exactly . i - i did n't even get a choice in that . steff , i - i just want you to be happy for me and trust that dad , me , and caroline -- we can figure this whole thing out . steffy : yeah . you know , sure . it would be easier if i just had this sense that you thought this through . you know , the first thing out of rick 's mouth was that granddad should replace dad with him . thomas : why is that even on your mind ?

or maybe you can call one of your socialite sorority sisters to put you up . or you could go to grace 's b & b. ; on second thought , that 's not such a good idea . she 'd probably throw you out , too . my goodness , ivy , i am all out of ideas . you 're just going to have to figure it out for yourself . julian : theresa , i 'm no more anxious than you are to keep ivy here , but perhaps we should wait until the morning . there is a fierce storm raging . ivy could die out there . theresa : well , if she does , i 'll be sure to send flowers , but i draw the line at paying for her funeral . fox : do me a favor . remind me never to get on your bad side . theresa : well , i 'm sorry if i sound cruel , but i have had it . ivy 's insulted me , my mother , my family , and my heritage , and i will not have her under my roof , not for one more night . you need to leave now . move it ! t.c . : liz , are you ok ? maybe she 's still asleep . she ca n't hear me . maybe i 'll just try to set her down and -- beth : please , god , do n't let antonio die . he 's sheridan 's husband , and she 'll leave luis alone if antonio lives , but -- well , if he does n't , i hope that she 'll be so poisoned with guilt that she will never have a relationship with luis again . and i pray that sheridan blames herself for antonio 's death , because she was with luis , and that guilt will keep them apart forever , and it will destroy their love . what ? god , are you -- are you mad at me ? because i 'm praying for someone else to have a miserable life ? well , i do n't care ! i want sheridan to be miserable ! . she has done nothing but bring misery to me , and she 's tried to destroy my life . and whether or not antonio lives , i will never let sheridan take luis away from me . never ! eve : i ca n't believe you left antonio to be with luis and then you forgot to give antonio his medication ? sheridan : look , i feel terrible about it , all right ? but we did n't plan for it to happen . it just did . i went out to make a cold compress for antonio . luis : and weanan into each other in the hallway . eve : but you 're in the same hotel ? sheridan : we 're staying in rooms right next door to each other . luis : we did n't plan it . we did n't even know . we ran into each other and we started talking . we realized that there had been a huge misunderstanding . eve : well , what misunderstanding ? sheridan : we were going to elope the night before the wedding . eve : elope ? luis : we were supposed to meet at the judge 's office , but i overslept and i did n't show till the morning . sheridan : i thought he 'd changed his mind . luis : i did n't know that she 'd been there , and i thought she 'd changed her mind and decided to marry antonio . sheridan : we , , i thought he 'd changed his mind . luis : but i hadn't . sheridan : neither had i . luis : ok , anyway , to make a long story short , we realized there was a misunderstanding , that we wanted to be together and to be married . sheridan : we were going to tell antonio the truth about us . that 's when we found him . it 's just -- eve : ok , it is none of my business whether you two get together or not . but right now i have a patient in there whose life is on the line , and the reason he is in such bad shape is because you were with luis instead of with antonio giving him his medication . sheridan : i i know . eve : well , i just hope that your coming together tonight does n't kill antonio , because i do n't know how you two are going to be able to live with that . i just hope that you have n't put a curse on your love . theresa : if ivy wo n't leave on her own , i 'll have harmony p.d . come here and cart her away . pilar : it 's your fault my son will die . luis : i ' i 'll do anything for you . i 'll even walk away from my family . liz : make love to me . | antonio collapses from his skipped medication . no ambulences could be sent due to the storm . so luis , sheridan , and beth rush antonio to the hospital . eve is angry with sheridan and luis from not giving antonio the medication while they were together . ethan along with ivy begs theresa and julian not to throw ivy out into the storm . but with no luck ethan leaves to find out a way to keep his mother at the mansion legally . theresa tells ivy to leave and she puts on her coat . t.c . calls eve who is too busy to take his call so he talks to a nurse . he asks what to do with a sleepwalker because liz is faking sleepwalking . she says do n't wake her and go along with it . so he does even when she kisses him . | <s>[INST] ivy : enough already ! theres -- stop , already ! this is ridiculous ! theresa : get the hell out of my house ! rebecca : no ! ivy : fox , do something ! fox : theresa , it is snowing outside . theresa : i do n't care if there 's a raging blizzard out there ! these two dragons have made my life miserable for years now ! i tried to be nice , i let them share my home , and what did they do but pay me back with snideness , insults , and ridicule . they even trashed mama and my family , and i wo n't have it anymore ! rebecca : oh , well , you think you are so high and mighty . well , let me tell you something , missy . you are still the housekeeper 's daughter . ivy : yes , coarse and vulgar to the core . theresa : both of you , leave ! ivy : this is my home , theresa , and i have no intention of leaving . now , shut the door . it 's getting cold in here . theresa : oh , i 'll shut the door . rebecca : oh ! ivy : oh ! theresa : after i put you two dogs out for good ! ivy : stop , theresa ! no -- [ ivy screams ] rebecca : oh . theresa : now it 's your turn , rebecca . rebecca : ah -- oh -- ow ! let go of me ! theresa : i told you both i wanted you out , and i meant it . rebecca : theresa , are you crazy ? there is a blizzard going on ! now , you ca n't throw us ouout there ! we 'll freeze to death ! theresa : you know , you 're right . rebecca : of course i am ! theresa : i 'll have phyllis get your coats . phyllis ! ivy : oh , you 'll pay for this , you gold - digging tramp ! oh ! julian : what in the world is going on ? why is that door open ? it 's freezing in here . rebecca : julian , help me . she 's trying to throw us out in the snow . ethan : theresa , what is going on ? ivy : oh , ethan ! ethan ! ethan : mother ? mother , what are you doing out here ? ivy : ooh ! ask theresa ! that -- that bitch is trying to throw me out of my own home ! oh ! theresa : this is my house and i told you both i want you out , now . eve : i 'm warning you , liz . i want you to get it out of your head about trying to steal t.c . from me . he loves me and i love him . and there is no way that i 'm going to let some woman who is hellbent on revenge take him away from me . liz : how are you going to stop me , eve ? eve : oh , you still think that you can threaten me with my past ? it 's history , liz . t.c . is not going to leave me because of that . liz : i do n't need to use your past , eve . you 're going to lose t.c . because your career is more important to you than he is . the man is starved for love and attention , and i am going to see that he gets it . beth : damn sheridan for coming back again to steal luis away from me . well , i 'm not going to let it happen . luis is going to marry me or he wo n't marry anyone . i 'll see them both dead first before i 'll let sheridan have him . i wo n't let them do this to me . i won't . luis : the lies have gone on long enough . all right , we 're just going to tell antonio the truth . sheridan , if he was well enough to marry you , then he 's well enough to hear the truth . sheridan : i hope so . i do n't want to hurt him , but i ca n't live with this lie any longer . i love you . i want to spend the rest of mlife with you . luis : and i feel the same way about you . i do n't want to hurt antonio , but i ca n't stand to be apart from you any longer , all right ? we 'll let him down gently . we have to tell him the truth . sheridan : all right . i 'm ready . sheridan : antonio ! luis : oh , my god . sheridan : my god . 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 eve : i know my sbsband and he wo n't be drawn in by someone like you . liz : he already is , eve . t.c . and i are getting closer and closer . if you were ever at home , you would see that . eve : oh , no , i see what you 're doing . i just know that it 's not going to work . liz : oh , we 'll see how you feel when you come from work one night and i am in your bed with your husband . eve : it 's never going to happen , liz . you see , because if there 's one thing that i do know , it 's how to make love to my husband . so he 's not going to go anyplace looking for that , especially not to you . liz : you 're mighty sure of yourself , are n't you ? eve : sure of t.c . 's love for me ? yeah . so why do n't you just go back to your bed and lie down and think about this -- while you 're there sleeping all alone , i 'll be in there with t.c . making love for hours . there 's no way you 're getting anywhere near him . liz : we 'll just see about that , eve . t.c . : honey , who were you talking to ? i thout i heard voices . eve : oh , no one . i just went to close the windows . i was probably just talking to myself . t.c . : talking to yourself ? so when did you start doing that ? eve : oh , i 've been doing it a long time . you just never heard me . t.c . : baby , i love how you just keep surprising me . eve : well , i love finding ways to surprise you . t.c . : ooh . so we are all alone ? the girls are at the bennetts ' ? eve : we 're all alone . t.c . : but you 're still on call , right ? eve : no . i had dr . jacob take over my shift . t.c . : ooh , you did ? eve : i did , because i wanted to spend some quality time with the man that i love . no phone calls , no interruptions , and i wanted to take advantage of every second that we had . t.c . : ooh . this reminds me when we first got married . before your schedule got so hectic , we had a lot of good nights like this , did n't we ? eve : yeah . and we should have a lot more . t.c . : i love you , baby . eve : i love you . t.c . : i love you more than anything in this world . eve : i love you , t.c . beth : ugh ! i am sick and tired of being treated this way ! luis thinks he can just keep me dangling while he waits for that slut sheridan to make up her mind which man she 's in love with . i 'm not going to take it anymore . they think they can just treat me like a piece of trash and throw me out like garbage ? why ca n't you just love me , luis ? you told me you loved me . i thought you did . why do you treat me this way ? you could just go ahead and marry me . i would make you forget all about sheridan and i would make you so happy . but it 's not luis . no . he 's not the one causing me all this pain . it 's sheridan . she 's the one . i 'm not going to let her get away with it . i 'll see her dead first . sheridan : oh , my god , he 's not dead , is he ? tell me he 's not dead ! luis : he 's rereathing . sheridan : oh , thank god . luis : we got to get him to the hospital , though , fast . sheridan : oh , my god , his pills . luis , what time is it ? luis : i do n't know . why ? sheridan : oh , my god ! i was supposed to give him his medicine a half - hour ago ! he must have been trying to take it himself , and he 's blind ! he must have collapsed trying to take his pills ! maid : oh , no , i was afraid something like this would happen . luis : what ? maid : when i came to turn down the bed , he did n't look so good . i was worried , so i came back to check on him . sheridan : wait , what do you mean , he did n't look so good ? maid : no , he looked -- he looked woozy . i offered to help him , but he said his wife was coming back to give him his medicine . sheridan : he said that ? maid : yes . he even made a joke . he said it was his honeymoon and he could n't imagine where his wife had gone for so long . he said , what could be more important than being with her husband on their wedding night ? ivy : oh ! ethan : are you all right , mother ? ivy : no ! i am not all right ! i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm freezing ! julian : oh , for heaven 's sake , close the door before we all catch pneumonia . ivy : ooh , thank you , ethan ! theresa : do n't get too comfortable , ivy . you 're not staying here tonight . ethan : wait , i -- i think this can be discussed , can it ? theresa : oh , ethan , we can talk , but i 'm not backing down . these two women have done nothing but make my life miserable ever since i moved in here . ivy : oh , ever since you started acting like the queen of sheba and ordering people around as if you really owned this place ! rebecca : yeah , and having all your trashy family here throwing those tacky little parties . ethan : mother , mother , rebecca , you 're not helping your situation . theresa : oh , no , ethan , let them prattle on . i am not going to change my mind . i have had it ! i am legally mrs . julian crane , and i think i 've been overly generous in allowing ivy to stay here after julian divorced her , and especially kind in allowing julian 's cheap tart of the day stay here , too . rebecca : oh , just who are you calling cheap ? theresa : if the shoe fits -- rebecca : julian , do something about this ! this is your house , too ! this is urur family home ! julian : uh -- yes , well -- ivy : oh ! rebecca : julian , if i have to leave , just who is going to keep you warm at night , huh ? and just who are you going to play these fun little games with ? like , i have planned this one with eskim a and whale blubber that is , oh , so going to make you want to dogsled . julian : uh -- theresa , see , here . even you must admit that our marriage is a big mistake . it 's not as if you actually share my bed . theresa : no , i absolutely do not and have no intention of ever sleeping in your bed , but i do have a right to legally call this my home . julian : technically , it is your home , but this house has been in my family for generations . therefore , i have the right to invite guests into my home whenever i choose . theresa : `` guests `` ? julian : rebecca is a guest , so she stays . rebecca : oh . ivy : julian ? julian , tell theresa i 'm staying , too . i 'm cold , i 'm tired , and i want to go to bed . julian : well , ivy , dear , theresa 's right . you see , i did divorce you , and frankly , i have n't been able to figure out why you 're still here after all this time . if it were up to me , you 'd have been gone a long time ago . ivy : what ? julian : you see , theresa has allowed you to stay here , not i , and now it looks as if she 's pulled the plug , so i 'm afraid you 're out . ivy : oh ! rebecca ? rebecca : oh , well , do n't look at me . i 'm just a guest . ivy : oh -- rebecca , i should have known i could never count on you ! oh ! fox : is it always this much fun here ? then i should have moved home a long time ago . gwen : hmm . well , it has been a real cirss since theresa moved in here . maid : this is an emergency ! we need an ambulance now ! i do n't believe this . they ca n't send an ambulance , the snow is too heavy , and they ca n't get through . sheridan : well , we have to do something ! he 's dying ! luis : it 's all right . we 'll take him . i 've got four - wheel drive . just call dr . russell and tell her what happened , ask her to meet us at the hospital . i got to get my keys . i 'll be right back . sheridan : i hope she 's answering her phone . luis : hey , if u u get some blankets and a pillow , we can lay him down in the back of the s.u.v . maid : all right . sheridan : please be there , eve . t.c . : oh , sweetheart , this is wonderful . it 's been so long . [ phone rings ] eve : uh - oh . t.c . : no . do n't answer it . it 's not the hospital . [ ring ] eve : but -- but you know what ? it could be the hospital . i told them not to call unless it was an extreme emergency . oh , you know what ? it could be one of the girls . [ ring ] eve : dr. russell . sheridan : eve , it 's sheridan . we 're taking antonio to the hospital . can you meet us there ? eve : what happened ? sheridan : he 's unconscious and he collapsed and we ca n't seem to revive him ! eve : oh -- well , why ? did you give him the medication as we discussed ? sheridan : no . i missed his last dose . eve : oh . ok , we do n't have any time to talk about it . you get him to the e.r . and i 'll meet you there . sheridan : all right . thank you very much . eve : oh , honey , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . t.c . : i ca n't believe you 're going to the hospital . i just ca n't believe it . beth : it 's only a matter of time before they show up here , looking all sad and sorry , telling me that they 're back together , and then i 'm out in the cold . well , i wo n't let that happen . i wo n't let them do this to me . i 'll kill them both first . [ key turns in lock ] beth : here they come now . /ç fox : well , no peanuts or popcorn , but how about a little champagne ? theresa : thank you , fox . fox : you bet . theresa : yep , i 'd like to celebrate the liberation of the crane mansion . free at last , free at la , , thank god almighty , i am free at last of the two witches of the east . ethan : theresa , look , i know you and my mother have not always seen eye to eye on things , but you ca n't just throw her out in the street . even if she was n't in a wheelchair , it would be cruel and inhuman . she has nowhere to go . theresa : ethan , i have tried my best to be nice . i have gone out of my way to allow ivy to stay here because she is your mother . t t enough is enough . ethan : what -- what brought this on ? theresa : all i asked was that ivy and rebecca vacate the living room so that the maids could clean . we have that important business meeting here first thing in the morning , remember ? julian : what , here ? why ? we have numerous conference rooms at crane industries . theresa : i prefer to have it here , julian . ethan : ok , so , what 's the problem , theresa ? theresa : well , the problem is when ivy threw out the cleaning crew because she and rebecca were still getting drunk and scheming against me . ethan : mother , we do have an important meeting here tomorrow morning . ivy : i had no idea . of course we 'll have the living room cleaned up by then . i did n't know . ethan : ok . there . see ? it was all just a big misunderstanding . i 'm sure we can come to some agreement -- theresa : no , no , ethan , we ca n't ! i do n't care how innocent ivy pretends to be . i know the truth . you know , i came downstairs and i heard these two cows plotting against me , calling me names , calling my mother names , saying they would have me back in the gutter where i belong . well , they ripped my heritage , ethan , and they ripped me apart ! ethan : mother ? is it true ? did you say those terrible things ? fox : this just keeps getting better and better . eve : i 'm so sorry , honey . i know you 're upset , but you know this is an emergency . t.c . : ca n't you get another doctor to handle it ? eve : well , this is special . this is antonio . i mean , i 'm his doctor . i know more about his condition and his history than anyone . t.c . : so what 's wrong with him ? eve : he did n't get his medicine , so he collapsed and now he 's unconscious . he could die . you see i ca n't hand this over to another doctor . t.c . : yeah , of course you can't . eve : t.c . , tell me that you understand . t.c . : sweetheart , i understand . if you have to go , you have to go . but will you please tell me something ? eve : anything . t.c . : when will you and i have some time together , some uninterrupted time ? eve : soon , honey , so soon . i 'm going to be back as soon as i can . t.c . : you 're going to be back as soon as you can . that 's another one of your promises , right ? do n't make me promises you ca n't keep , eve . it 's the same scenario over and over again . you 're going to go to the hospital , you wo n't get home until tomorrow , you take a quick shower , and then you 're back at the hospital again . we have n't had time together in months ! eve : it 's not as bad as that , is it ? t.c . : yes , it is . eve : well , i 'm sorry , t.c . i 'm doing the best that i can , honey . i 'm trying to be a good doctor and a good mother . t.c . : well , what about being a good wife ? huh ? when did that become the last priority on your list ? eve : i do n't know how you can even s t that to me . you know that being your wife is the most important thing in the world to me . t.c . : sweetheart , i -- i know you mean it . but i love you , and i love that you are so dedicated to your career and that you are so dedicated to our girls . but i miss you and i need you . and i do n't want to sound selfish , but sometimes i need to come first . eve : i 'm sorry , honey . i am so sorry . i 'm -- i understand , and i 'm terribly sorry for this and i 'm -- i swear that i am going to make things better . i love you . thank you . thank you so much for understanding . and i 'll be back as soon as i can . eve : no , liz would be asleep by now . good . at least i do n't have to worry about her doing anything with t.c . tonight .

nurse : that 's right . the best thing to do is just leave her alone . let her enact whatever she 's dreaming . it could be dangerous to stop her or to try to wake her up . t.c . : ok . wellcould you have my wife give me a call as soon as she gets free ? it 's very , very important . nurse : yes , of course . t.c . : ok . thank you . hey . sheridan : he has to be all right . i mean , this is all my fault . i should have been there to give him his medicine . luis : sheridan , you 've got to stop blaming yourself , all right ?

sheridan : i was just outside in the hallway . eve : for how long ? sheridan : i do n't know . eve : well , what could have been more important than making sure that antonio got his medication ? luis : it 's my fault . eve : your fault ? luis : sheridan was with me . eve : with you ? oh , i do n't believe this . theresa : here . do n't say i never did anything nice for you . i would n't want you to freeze in the front yard . we 'd have to look at you until spring . ivy : theresa , there is a blizzard going on outside . i have nowhere to go . theresa : how about a hotel ? or maybe you can call one of your socialite sorority sisters to put you up . or you could go to grace 's b & b. ; on second thought , that 's not such a good idea . she 'd probably throw you out , too . my goodness , ivy , i am all out of ideas . you 're just going to have to figure it out for yourself . julian : theresa , i 'm no more anxious than you are to keep ivy here , but perhaps we should wait until the morning . there is a fierce storm raging . ivy could die out there . theresa : well , if she does , i 'll be sure to send flowers , but i draw the line at paying for her funeral . fox : do me a favor . remind me never to get on your bad side . theresa : well , i 'm sorry if i sound cruel , but i have had it . ivy 's insulted me , my mother , my family , and my heritage , and i will not have her under my roof , not for one more night . you need to leave now . move it ! t.c . : liz , are you ok ? maybe she 's still asleep . she ca n't hear me . maybe i 'll just try to set her down and -- beth : please , god , do n't let antonio die . he 's sheridan 's husband , and she 'll leave luis alone if antonio lives , but -- well , if he does n't , i hope that she 'll be so poisoned with guilt that she will never have a relationship with luis again . and i pray that sheridan blames herself for antonio 's death , because she was with luis , and that guilt will keep them apart forever , and it will destroy their love . what ? god , are you -- are you mad at me ? because i 'm praying for someone else to have a miserable life ? well , i do n't care ! i want sheridan to be miserable ! . she has done nothing but bring misery to me , and she 's tried to destroy my life . and whether or not antonio lives , i will never let sheridan take luis away from me . never ! eve : i ca n't believe you left antonio to be with luis and then you forgot to give antonio his medication ? sheridan : look , i feel terrible about it , all right ? but we did n't plan for it to happen . it just did . i went out to make a cold compress for antonio . luis : and weanan into each other in the hallway . eve : but you 're in the same hotel ? sheridan : we 're staying in rooms right next door to each other . luis : we did n't plan it . we did n't even know . we ran into each other and we started talking . we realized that there had been a huge misunderstanding . eve : well , what misunderstanding ? sheridan : we were going to elope the night before the wedding . eve : elope ? luis : we were supposed to meet at the judge 's office , but i overslept and i did n't show till the morning . sheridan : i thought he 'd changed his mind . luis : i did n't know that she 'd been there , and i thought she 'd changed her mind and decided to marry antonio . sheridan : we , , i thought he 'd changed his mind . luis : but i hadn't . sheridan : neither had i . luis : ok , anyway , to make a long story short , we realized there was a misunderstanding , that we wanted to be together and to be married . sheridan : we were going to tell antonio the truth about us . that 's when we found him . it 's just -- eve : ok , it is none of my business whether you two get together or not . but right now i have a patient in there whose life is on the line , and the reason he is in such bad shape is because you were with luis instead of with antonio giving him his medication . sheridan : i i know . eve : well , i just hope that your coming together tonight does n't kill antonio , because i do n't know how you two are going to be able to live with that . i just hope that you have n't put a curse on your love . theresa : if ivy wo n't leave on her own , i 'll have harmony p.d . come here and cart her away . pilar : it 's your fault my son will die . luis : i ' i 'll do anything for you . i 'll even walk away from my family . liz : make love to me .Summarize.[/INST]antonio collapses from his skipped medication . no ambulences could be sent due to the storm . so luis , sheridan , and beth rush antonio to the hospital . eve is angry with sheridan and luis from not giving antonio the medication while they were together . ethan along with ivy begs theresa and julian not to throw ivy out into the storm . but with no luck ethan leaves to find out a way to keep his mother at the mansion legally . theresa tells ivy to leave and she puts on her coat . t.c . calls eve who is too busy to take his call so he talks to a nurse . he asks what to do with a sleepwalker because liz is faking sleepwalking . she says do n't wake her and go along with it . so he does even when she kisses him .</s> | 15,145 |

[ scene_break ] dante : so , this new lawyer says we got a pretty good chance for michael 's appeal . lulu : with the diminished capacity ? dante : well , i mean , judge carroll basically punished michael for not getting anger management and going to counseling , whereas his new lawyer says that his choices can be used as evidence to say that he was n't thinking clearly . lulu : like he did n't know what he was doing when he killed claudia ? dante : i mean , the judge blamed him for going along with the cover - up , but this lawyer is saying now that he did n't have the capacity to resist . that he was so damaged from the coma that he had no choice but to follow whatever his family and his dad wanted him to do . lulu : what did brook do to this ? it 's like she like put something on it . dante : it 's called starch . lulu : why ? dante : [ chuckles ] it 's just what they do in bensonhurst . lulu : you starch your shirts ? dante : well , your mother or your girlfriend do when they 're ironing your clothes , yeah . lulu : really ? so what does that make brook ? dante : your mother or your girlfriend or your sister , which is basically what brook is to me . so you do n't have to get all possessive . lulu : i 'm not getting all possessive . dante : well , i heard you like yelling a block away . lulu : no , you did n't . dante : okay , it was down the hall , but anyway , i liked it . it was lulu spencer staking a claim to her man . lulu : well , yelling is not how you stake claim to your man . dante : well , then how do you do it ? lulu : like this . [ scene_break ] patrick : thank you . lisa : all i am saying is that if i would have been given a shot at denny hamlin 's acl during the off - season , he would n't have needed any more surgery . patrick : what about martinsville , winning 2 days before his surgery ? that 's pretty incredible . lisa : oh , yeah . you know he was dying in there , but he 'd never admit it . patrick : well , winning $ 5 million kind of takes the sting off a little bit , would n't you say ? lisa : yeah , it would help . steve : daytona is the one to win , though . lisa : you 're into nascar ? steve : a little bit . i heard jimmy mac got over 18 million bucks this year for winning the daytona . lisa : do you think that win was a fluke ? steve : oh , not a chance . that kid 's got potential . lisa : yeah , he 's definitely one to watch . steve : hey , who 's the guy who won daytona a couple of years ago , upside down and on fire ? lisa : clint bowyer . 2007 . was n't that amazing ? oh , yeah , he came in 18th , but , i mean , he 's made the highlights forever . steve : he just climbed out of his car and walked away . lisa : oh , you know he was dying to run . steve : mm , it did n't look that way to me . lisa : well , i guess he can afford to act cool since nascar 's so much safer than it used to be . steve : drive fast , turn left . lisa : yes . carly : how 's the general hospital surgery table doing ? steve : deep in nascar , i 'm afraid . carly : ooh , wow . patrick : would you like to join us ? carly : love to . patrick : have a seat . carly : thank you . hi .

[ scene_break ] rex : it never occurs to you that just because the whole world is against somebody , he might be the guy telling the truth ? adriana : are you talking about yourself or todd ? because at the rate you 're going , you 're going to be sharing a cell with him pretty soon . rex : no . because he 'll be executed -- for something he did n't do . and by the time they realize he 's innocent , it 'll be too late . hugh : huh . rex : what are you still doing here ? hugh : i was here first , balsom . and from the looks of it , the lady does n't want to talk to you . adriana : it 's ok . i can handle him . rex : do n't you mean file him away under `` dirtbag not worth my time `` ? adriana : i stood up for you when everyone else told me to run the other way . rex : i should have read the fine print , though . the one - strike - and - you 're - out clause . adriana : one strike ? i caught you screwing around with your assistant manager , and i forgave you . then there were the drugs in new york , the drugs in your arm . and i stayed up all night in the middle of central park to keep you safe , because i believed in you . this thing with todd is not about me trusting or believing in you . you did n't trust me , rex . you put todd 's needs ahead of mine . rex : yeah , i did . because i 've already seen one person get framed for a murder they did n't commit and i was too late to save her life . so , yeah , i put todd ahead of you for a couple of minutes , because i ca n't live with another death on my conscience . [ scene_break ] kelly : when i look at duke , i see kevin when i first fell in love with him . i see the kevin before politics , before ace , before everything got so bad between us that at the first sign of trouble , one of us goes running . kelly : i do n't have any romantic feelings for duke . but kevin is so paranoid that no matter what i say , he just does n't want to hear it . dorian : oh , i know all about that . and of course , he 's drinking to make the pictures in his head go away . kelly : yeah , well , kevin is n't mel . dorian : no , he certainly is not . truer words were never spoken . kelly : all right . this has been lovely , as always . dorian : no , no , no , no . please , please , please . darling , i know how important it is for you to make things work with kevin . but -- ugh -- sometimes the cramer stubbornness , you know , can be our downfall . sometimes , you know , it 's just better -- well , to cut your losses and run . kelly : i 'm not running from kevin . that 's not what love is . that 's not what marriage is . it 's not just about the good times .

[ scene_break ] rex : it never occurs to you that just because the whole world is against somebody , he might be the guy telling the truth ? adriana : are you talking about yourself or todd ? because at the rate you 're going , you 're going to be sharing a cell with him pretty soon . rex : no . because he 'll be executed -- for something he did n't do . and by the time they realize he 's innocent , it 'll be too late . hugh : huh . rex : what are you still doing here ? hugh : i was here first , balsom . and from the looks of it , the lady does n't want to talk to you . adriana : it 's ok . i can handle him . rex : do n't you mean file him away under `` dirtbag not worth my time `` ? adriana : i stood up for you when everyone else told me to run the other way . rex : i should have read the fine print , though . the one - strike - and - you 're - out clause . adriana : one strike ? i caught you screwing around with your assistant manager , and i forgave you . then there were the drugs in new york , the drugs in your arm . and i stayed up all night in the middle of central park to keep you safe , because i believed in you . this thing with todd is not about me trusting or believing in you . you did n't trust me , rex . you put todd 's needs ahead of mine . rex : yeah , i did . because i 've already seen one person get framed for a murder they did n't commit and i was too late to save her life . so , yeah , i put todd ahead of you for a couple of minutes , because i ca n't live with another death on my conscience . [ scene_break ] kelly : when i look at duke , i see kevin when i first fell in love with him . i see the kevin before politics , before ace , before everything got so bad between us that at the first sign of trouble , one of us goes running . kelly : i do n't have any romantic feelings for duke . but kevin is so paranoid that no matter what i say , he just does n't want to hear it . dorian : oh , i know all about that . and of course , he 's drinking to make the pictures in his head go away . kelly : yeah , well , kevin is n't mel . dorian : no , he certainly is not . truer words were never spoken . kelly : all right . this has been lovely , as always . dorian : no , no , no , no . please , please , please . darling , i know how important it is for you to make things work with kevin . but -- ugh -- sometimes the cramer stubbornness , you know , can be our downfall . sometimes , you know , it 's just better -- well , to cut your losses and run . kelly : i 'm not running from kevin . that 's not what love is . that 's not what marriage is . it 's not just about the good times .

[ scene_break ] judge : ms. davis , i 'm sympathetic to your concern for your daughter . as a parent myself , had one of my children been kidnapped , i would do anything to keep it from happening again . mr. corinthos , you 've been hospitalized three times for gunshot wounds . had cars , homes , warehouses exploded . and now , you 've been questioned in connection with a multiple homicide . now , i have to be honest . i would n't want a child anywhere near you . and i have to wonder why , if you love your children as much as you say you do , you do n't find another line of work or give them up altogether . that said , the law is the law . and it is my duty to uphold it regardless of personal feelings . you are a very effective alleged criminal , mr. corinthos , because there is no evidence against you . despite her best efforts , ms. davis has failed to prove that kristina 's situation has changed in any substantial way since the first custody hearing . therefore , ms. davis , despite my personal misgivings , i am denying your petition . the existing custody agreement stands . however , should any proof come to light regarding mr. corinthos ' alleged criminal activity , i will gladly grant a new hearing . alexis : thank you , your honor . sonny : thank you . alexis : how does it feel knowing that you have the legal right to put kristina in danger ? sonny : i do n't know what you expect me to do . you keep pushing and pushing and pushing . one day you 're going to push me so much , i 'm going to take kristina away from you , no matter what i have to do .

[ scene_break ] judge : ms. davis , i 'm sympathetic to your concern for your daughter . as a parent myself , had one of my children been kidnapped , i would do anything to keep it from happening again . mr. corinthos , you 've been hospitalized three times for gunshot wounds . had cars , homes , warehouses exploded . and now , you 've been questioned in connection with a multiple homicide . now , i have to be honest . i would n't want a child anywhere near you . and i have to wonder why , if you love your children as much as you say you do , you do n't find another line of work or give them up altogether . that said , the law is the law . and it is my duty to uphold it regardless of personal feelings . you are a very effective alleged criminal , mr. corinthos , because there is no evidence against you . despite her best efforts , ms. davis has failed to prove that kristina 's situation has changed in any substantial way since the first custody hearing . therefore , ms. davis , despite my personal misgivings , i am denying your petition . the existing custody agreement stands . however , should any proof come to light regarding mr. corinthos ' alleged criminal activity , i will gladly grant a new hearing . alexis : thank you , your honor . sonny : thank you . alexis : how does it feel knowing that you have the legal right to put kristina in danger ? sonny : i do n't know what you expect me to do . you keep pushing and pushing and pushing . one day you 're going to push me so much , i 'm going to take kristina away from you , no matter what i have to do .

do n't you see that ? eve , you got to help me . you got to fix -- you got to fix this . you got to undo what they did to her . dr. ackland : mr. lopez fitzgerald -- luis : and you , you shut up ! eve , please . please help sheridan . bring her back the way she was . eve : luis , if you 're suggesting that dr . ackland did something to sheridan that would make her lose the memory of her love for you -- luis : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . eve : it is impossible . luis : it 's not impossible . eve , look at her . what else would make sheridan say that she did n't love me ? antonio : well , try she does n't love you . luis : i 'm telling you , alistair has done something to her . they -- they 've brainwashed her . it 's you . you 've brainwashed her . you made her forget that she ever loved me . theresa : so you just get this straight . i will never allow my son to be anyone 's servant , ever ! rebecca : well , you wo n't have anything to say about it , theresa , because we have custody of little ethan now . he is going to have to do whatever we want . theresa : well , you 're not going toavave custody forever . once i get my son back , there 's no way i will ever let julian get his hands on him again . fox : do n't worry about it , theresa . she 's not going to do anything . rebecca : i would n't count on that , fox . and if you think ethan is going to protect your little boy -- once ethan has a child of his own , little ethan is going to become less and less important to him . theresa : no , that 's a lie , ok ? he -- he vowed to protect and love my child ! rebecca : well , that is not going to last . when ethan and gwen have their own child , little ethan is going to be very lucky if he gets to sleep in the stables . theresa : how dare you , rebecca ! rebecca : no , little ethan is never going to be anything in this house except the ex - housekeeper 's grandson . and when gwen has her own child -- no , little ethan is going to be allowed to shine the child 's shoes or allowed to carry his or her backpack to school . and then my gwennie will finally have her revenge . theresa : then i hope gwen can never have another child ! rebecca : you bitch . gwen : so , doctor , beth was n't really pregnant , was she ? dr. culver : no . as i said , she was pregnant . ethan : ok . well , then , doctor , what is it you want to tell us ? dr. culver : i -- i hate delivering this kind of news , especially to people who are so hopeful . i know it 's not what you want to hear . ethan : doctor , what ? what are you talking about ? gwen : are we still talking about beth ? dr. culver : no , this is not about beth . gwen : just tell us what it is , then . dr. culver : i 've reviewed all your tests from the hospital , and , well , there 's no easy way to say this , so i 'll just say it . mrs. winthrop , i 'm terribly sorry to tell you this , but you can never have another child . beth : mr. crane , i know that dr . culver was going to tell gwen everything , so how did you stop him ? alistair : that 's none of your business . but trust me , it 's done . i 've also arranged for sheridan to choose antonio over luis . so , beth , the way is clear for you to go after luis . mrs. wallace : lord , no . beth : i ca n't believe it . alistair : believe it . my grandson will never know his true birthright . but that 's the way it has to be . i 'll do anything i have to in order to protect my secrets . mrs. wallace : oh , i do n't know , mr . crane . the truth has a way of coming out , reuniting children with their long - lost families . alistair : not this time , old woman . this child will never know who he is or who his real mother is . well , what are you waiting for ? go find luis , console him in his time of need . make him yours . beth : did -- did you hear that , mother ? i 've won . i finally won . luis is mine . [ beth laughs ] luis : you tell me what you did to her . pilar : luis , please -- dr . ackland : you calm down , or i 'll call security . pilar : luis , mijo , you ca n't blame the doctor for this . luis : i know that he did this to sheridan . sheridan : luis , please . look at me . i swear dr . ackland did n't do anything to me except help me to make up my own mind . luis : no . i do n't accept it . antonio : you know what ? you 're going to have to , luis , because she loves me . luis : no . pilar : luis , mijo , i know this is hard for you . i do n't understand it , either . i was sure that she would choose you , but she has n't , ok , so just accept it . let it go . luis : never . you did something to her , you little bastard . sheridan : luis , no ! pilar : stop it , mijo . luis : whatever you did , you change her back or i kill you . i 'll kill you ! i swear i 'll kill you ! eve : let 's go , luis . | gwen and ethan go to see dr. culver . alistair blackmails dr. culver by showing him some revealing photos and warns him to keep quiet about beth 's `` fake `` pregnancy . dr. culver informs gwen that she can never have another child . rebecca catches fox , theresa , chad , and whitney at the crane indoor pool , where they had been skinny - dipping . rebecca gives theresa the message that little ethan will end up being a servant to any children that gwen and ethan have . theresa replies in anger that she hopes gwen can never have another child ! | <s>[INST] fox : you happy ? theresa : totally . this has been the best , most romantic valentine 's day i have ever had . fox : my goodness . that is quite a compliment coming from my little hopeless romantic . theresa : i mean it . thank you . fox : you 're very welcome , theresa . strawberry ? theresa : yes , please . fox : okey - dokey . there we go . theresa : oh , boy . fox : healthy bite .

[ whitney laughs ] chad : give me one of those , please . [ glasses clink ] theresa : oh , really ? whitney : oh , thank you . mrs. wallace : oh , boy . your goose is cooked . dr. culver 's going to be blowing you right out of the water once he tells gwen and ethan that you were never pregnant . beth : oh , no . no , this ca n't be happening . mrs. wallace : well , it is happening , missy . and once they know you were never pregnant , well , it 's going to be a snap -- a snap -- for them to figure out , missy , that the baby you keep claiming is yours was really sheridan 's . and you , missy -- you are dead meat . drdr . culver : so , you have questions about beth wallace ? beth : oh , no . mother 's right . it 's over . it 's all over . gwen : yes , i do . you know who she is , of course . dr. culver : oh , yes . she was just here , as a matter of fact , with some very strange friends . gwen : ok , so i did see her . she was with her mother , and they were wearing some sort of costume ?

you think i 'm so focused on proving that beth 's baby is sheridan 's because i just want to make up for losing our baby ? ethan : what do you think ? gwen : i do n't know . maybe . but that does n't mean i 'm wrong about beth . ethan : no , it does n't , but i just think we should concentrate on our baby , the one that we want to have . gwen : you 're right . after all , dr . culver is the specialist in difficult pregnancies and fertility problems . ethan : to be honest , i do n't know why you would think you 'd have trouble getting pregnant . i mean , we have n't been trying for that long . gwen : well , i did get pregnant last time without really trying , but , honey , i have been a few months -- ethan : and you 've had a rough couple of last months . gwen : you 're right about that . look , maybe once i get the goods on beth and i can prove that she 's the liar i think she is , then maybe i 'll be more relaxed and i 'll be able to conceive . ethan : honey , you -- you 're not going to give this up , are you ?

[ sighs ] cliff was a good man . i remember him being a great father when we were kids . adam : he was . alyssa : so , i 'm -- i 'm sorry i lashed out . adam : listen , i do not blame you for anything . and you should n't feel guilty about something your father might have done . alyssa : i wish it were that easy . adam : believe me . i know . alyssa : i get why you did n't want to say anything . you did n't want to incriminate your dad . but if things went down the way you think they did ... that means both our fathers killed someone . i mean , that 's a lot to process , but do n't you think we need to know the truth ? adam : i mean , it 's better than not knowing . [ sighs ] tessa : i - i know we can do long distance . mariah : this time . tessa : well , this time we 're gon na be better . mariah : i am going to be better . tessa : no . no . w - we -- we are gon na be more in tune with each other 's feelings , more diligent about making time for each other , and we 're gon na be open about our issues because we know what 's at stake . mariah : i know we will . it 's just so hard . [ chuckles softly ] it 's so hard to leave you . i mean , we just got back together . tessa : yeah . i know . it 's killing me . [ groans ] [ sighs ] tessa : well , maybe i should just take a break from tour . mariah : what ? no . no . there 's no way that you 're doing that . tessa : i know , but i just -- mariah : no . but nothing . you are finally getting the success that you 've worked so hard for , and i am not gon na take that away from you . but ... maybe we can flip the script . tessa : are you saying what i think you 're saying ? nick : see , here 's the thing . i do n't just want you out of this building . i want you out this town , period . i want you as far away from my sister as possible . billy : well , i 'm not gon na hurt her again . nick : how am i supposed to believe that after the countless broken vows and promises and your reckless behavior that led to her getting stabbed by some stalker ? do you even give a damn about that ? billy : of course i do . i hate what happened . and do n't you dare question the feelings that i have for the mother of my children . nick : you know , billy , i 'm getting real tired of your after - the - fact regrets . billy : and i 'm getting tired of being a scapegoat for you and your father . every day he does something awful , and everybody just forgives and forgets . nick : my dad 's paid for what he 's done . billy : oh , come on , nick . it was n't that long ago that he lied to victoria , telling her that he had proof that i slept with amanda , which never happened . and yet , somehow , that information disintegrates into thin air . nick : your relationship imploding with my sister 's got nothing to do with my dad . that 's on you . billy : i know , and i 'm taking responsibility for my actions , which is the point . your father never does . he lied to his daughter 's face ... and there 's no consequences paid by him once again . nick : that 's between my dad and victoria . billy : and there you are , right , making excuses for him , enabling him every single time . he snaps fingers , you go straight back to the company like a loyal little foot soldier . nick : excuse me ? ! lily : uh , excuse me . what 's going on here ? nick : hey , lily . lily : hi . billy : i 'm just congratulating nick on officially becoming victor jr . victor : i 'm concerned about victoria ... and i want to make sure that nicholas gets all the help he need to make sure that newman runs smoothly , okay ? sharon : okay . i just thought i sensed something else is going on . victor : no . nope , nothing . sharon : alright . well , i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but if you ever need a sounding board ... victor : i promise you ... i won't . [ footsteps approach ] victoria : hi . victor : hi , sweetheart . victoria : uh , i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . victor : not at all . sharon : no . victor : if you will forgive me ... victoria : so , what was going on there ? sharon : i do n't know . victoria : you were n't at each other 's throats ? sharon : i ca n't explain it . victoria : okay . well , then i wo n't question it . sharon : that 's probably for the best . alyssa : the more i think about it , the more i fear your suspicions about what happened might be right . [ sighs ] cliff ca n't pay his loan back to my dad . my father hires someone to scare him . it goes wrong . adam : mm . alyssa : dad goes to prison . when he gets out , he hounds your mother for the money he 's owed . victor is furious . and then my father falls from a barn loft to his death . adam : i mean , that would explain why my mother did n't want to go to the funeral and why your mother refused to talk about your dad for years . alyssa : but we still do n't have any evidence . adam : yeah . but the question is , do we want to look for it ? i mean , it 's a big decision ... alyssa : [ sighs ] adam : ... and it could lead us down a road we might not want to travel . alyssa : and once we do , there 's no going back . adam : and i - i do n't want to push you into anything , so if you do n't want to pursue this , i - i won't ... 'cause we 're in this together . alyssa : [ scoffs ] i 'm not sure that we have much of a choice anymore . i mean , if we leave things out there unanswered , it 's going to eat at us for the rest of our lives . adam : yeah . alyssa : at least i know it will for me . [ sighs ] i 'll start looking into it . adam : okay . do you mind if i ask how you 're gon na go about doing that ? alyssa : the usual way -- asking questions , collecting documents . adam : and i - i understand that that 's usually the way it 's done . but if victor newman even gets a whiff of what you 're up to , he 's gon na shut it down like that . alyssa : so , what are you suggesting , then ? adam : that you need a plan . and i can help you come up with one . tessa : [ clears throat ] mariah : hey ! put some clothes on . [ chuckles ] tanner : hey . mariah : wow . he 's still not putting any clothes on . tessa : unh - unh . tanner : you guys are back together . tessa : yeah . mariah : we are . tanner : i had a feeling you were with mariah . tessa : in a thousand - thread - count fortress of love . tanner : huh ? [ chuckles ] mariah : uh , i have to give you credit for our reconciliation , so thank you for letting me go on stage and humiliate myself . tanner : well , uh , your humiliation got us our loudest applause of the night , so i 'm good with it . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : and i also wanted to apologize for accusing you of putting the moves on tessa . tanner : already forgotten . tessa : well , we are glad you said that , because we have a big favor to ask of you . mariah : how would you feel about a superdevoted fangirl coming on tour with you ? it 's me . it 's me . the fangirl is , uh -- is me . it would just be short- term , and i promise i would be the best groupie ever . tanner : [ clicks tongue ] i do n't know . [ chuckles ] i 'm messing with you . i 'd love it . mariah : really ? tanner : yeah . i mean , our audience witnessed your angst , and i would -- i 'd really hate to deprive them of that happy afterparty . mariah : [ chuckles ] tessa : [ chuckles ] thank you . yes ! mariah : that was easier than i thought . and now that we have tanner 's approval ... there 's just somebody else 's that i need to get . victoria : so , i guess this is our first official session . sharon : well , we do n't have to think of it like that . victoria : [ clears throat ] yeah . it just -- i do n't know -- feels a little weird . sharon : weird how ? victoria : just do n't do that open - ended - question thing . sharon : [ laughing ] okay . so , weird like ... a bad first date . victoria : yeah , now that you mention it . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , we can talk about those , too , but we might be here for a while . victoria : especially if we start talking about bad relationships . sharon : bad marriages . victoria : how much time do you have ? sharon : [ chuckles ] victoria : [ chuckles ] seriously , i do n't know what to talk about . i mean ... i do n't know . nothing 's coming to my mind . sharon : well , let 's not force it . let 's just , you know , do something to take our mind off of everything , like , um ... a chess game . or is no one allowed to touch victor 's chessboard ? victoria : i wouldn't . sharon : are you serious ? is he watching us right now , or is this wired to an alarm ? [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] victor really does see himself as the king , does n't he ? and nikki is his queen . and i wonder where i fit into all of it . he probably just sees me as a pawn . victoria : well , you 're the mother of his grandchildren , so i think he sees you as a rook , at the very least . sharon : well , i like to think of myself as my own queen ... with my own army around me . victoria : oh . queen sharon . sharon : exactly . [ chuckles ] you know , i - i really am grateful for all the people in my life ... and all of the love and support they 've given me . you know , there 's nick , too . he 's doing double duty . he 's helping both of us . victoria : i know . my brother is a great guy . sharon : he really is . see ? you have an army of your own . victoria : yeah , i do . my parents have been wonderful . i could n't ask for more . and it 's funny , is n't it ? it 's bizarre , actually , how our children are ... stepping in to help us . like reed -- he calls me every day . he never does that . sharon : [ chuckling ] oh , my gosh . noah does the same . hey , maybe we 're on to something here . victoria : yeah , using our plights to get our children 's attention . sharon : [ chuckles ] no . the plan is a little bit flawed . i was really worried about how mariah and faith were gon na handle the news at first and the day - to- day stress , but ... i think they 've both found a strength inside of them that they did n't know they had . you know , they 've been with me through all the ups and downs , and ... it 's really made the difference . and , you know , rey 's been great . victoria : well , yeah . mm - hmm . sharon : oh . i 'm sorry . i mean , i did n't mean to say -- victoria : no , you do n't have to be sorry . it 's fine . i 'm a queen without a king . it 's okay . sharon : hey , tell me if this is a little bit too personal , & but ... are things really over between you and billy ? billy : how many times have you sworn you 'd never go back to newman enterprises and as soon as daddy calls , you go crawling back ? nick : do n't pretend to know anything about me . lily : okay . let 's just take this down a notch , please . nick : not sure if you 're caught up on current events , lily , but the reason i 'm back at newman is 'cause this punk shows up to a party , drunk , that he was n't invited to , which led to my sister getting stabbed by some lunatic . lily : okay . that 's not really any of my siness . billy : no . see , that 's my point . you 're just making excuses , just like your father , casting blame around . nick : no . you are to blame , billy , but you just do n't get it . everyone who gets close to you gets hurt . you 're like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode . well , let me tell you something . as far as this family 's concerned , that 's over . i 'm never letting you hurt victoria or katie or johnny ever again . billy : i am a damn good father , and you should keep my kids ' names out of your mouth . lily : okay , okay , okay . that is enough . wow ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hy - a - lur - onic acid . mariah : i 'm worried about deserting my mom . i mean , i know she has an amazing support system and she 's been so strong . but there are some days when chemo just ... kicks her butt ... and [ sighs ] i do n't know if i can abandon her right now . tessa : yeah , no , i get it . but as someone who was kept out of the loop myself , i think you should at least call her . make the decision with her instead of shutting her out . victoria : you know , it 'd be really easy for me to hate billy ... um , but , honestly , i can't . part of me wishes that he was here to help me through this and i could lean on him . sharon : and is that out of the realm of possibility ? victoria : yeah . that 's not an option . [ cellphone rings ] sharon : oh , that 's mariah . victoria : go ahead . sharon : hey , you . i 'm so glad you called . tell me , how did things go with tessa ? mariah : better than i could have hoped . we 're back together . sharon : oh , my gosh ! that 's so great ! good for you ! i 'm so happy ! mariah : thank you . thank you for everything -- for being you , for being my rock . sharon : that 's what moms are for . mariah : and that 's what daughters are for ... which is what ... makes this so hard . sharon : what ? what is ? mariah : uh , tessa and i were discussing ... me going on tour with her . adam : look , victor 's got eyes and ears everywhere . so even if you start with someone on the periphery of all this , chances are word is gon na get back to him and he may retaliate . alyssa : well , i 'd definitely like to avoid that . adam : okay . then i need you to be as quiet and as stealthy as possible so you wo n't raise any red flags . and that is where i can help , because i know how to unearth some skeletons in my dad 's closet without him knowing . but i need you to protect me by keeping my name out of it . alyssa : right . the key is to get to the truth . then we 'll just figure out what to do with it . it will be hard for me to find an outlet that 'll agree to publish it without me identifying my sources . adam : you do n't need to worry about that , okay ? i own a stake in an online news outlet , and i can get your article published exactly as written . the editor will not ask any questions . alyssa : but is n't that a potential conflict of interest ? adam : why ? whatever the facts turn out to be , the article is gon na be 100 % true . all i 'm doing is i 'm making sure the site gets an exclusive on it and that we 're both protected . alyssa : it does sound like an ideal way to publish a story . [ chuckles ] you really know how to get things done . adam : and you really know how to ferret out the truth . you know , together , we 're a pretty good team . alyssa : who 'd have thought when we were kids , skipping stones on the lake , that all these years later we 'd be brought together by something like this ? adam : no , our childhoods might have felt idyllic , but ... people are the same everywhere and capable of good and -- and evil . alyssa : i guess all children have a primal need to understand their parents . adam : [ chuckles ] well , some people make it their mission in life . now , look , i know it can be paralyzing ... to think you were born with tainted dna , but the thing is , what do you do with that ? do you live with it ? do you try to burn it away or ... expose it to the light ? lily : okay . everyone , take a breath . nick : what are you doing here anyway ? lily : i am billy 's partner in the new division . nick : no . lily : yes . nick : lily , that 's a terrible idea . lily : [ chuckles softly ] nick : you know what ? i think it 's real funny that your mom did n't think you could do this job on your own . billy : go ahead . laugh it up . you 're a temp for your dad . nick : well , you work for your mom . lily : okay . really , guys ? really ? nick : he 's gon na grind this company into the ground just like he did every other job . billy : how 's dark horse going ? nick : and he 's gon na take you with him . lily : okay . that 's enough . geez . how do you get skin happy 24/7 ? sharon : would you be going on this tour with tessa right away ? mariah : you know what ? this was a bad idea . for - forget i said anything . sharon : no . hold on . mariah : no , tessa and i were talking about it , and , you know , we just got back together , but i can see now it 's completely impractical . i 'm coming home tonight . sharon : mariah . mariah : what ? sharon : can i please get a word in here ? mariah : sure . sharon : okay . you absolutely have to go on this trip . mariah : no , no . this is you being selfless and me being selfish . sharon : that is nonsense . this is about you living your life . you know ... i was just talking to someone about the overabundance of support i have in my life . and i ca n't tell you how much your happiness means to me and lifts my spirits . you know , i need a steady inflow of good news , so keep it coming . mariah : really ? i can check in constantly -- calls , texts . i 'll even send postcards . sharon : that would be great . but just knowing that you 're traveling the world with the woman you love is something positive for me to hold on to . mariah : are you sure about this ? summer : yeah . i 'm sure . mariah : i wo n't be gone long . sharon : take all the time you need . you and tessa just -- you really deserve this time together . mariah : thank you . and if you need me , i - i can come home at a moment 's notice . just -- just call me . sharon : i know . i love you . mariah : i love you , too . sharon : okay . well , have a great time , and i will talk to you soon . bye . [ sighs ] sorry . victoria : oh , no . there 's absolutely no need to be sorry . sharon : you know , i really am lucky ... for all the great people i have in my life . [ sighs ] you know ... maybe i 'm -- i do n't know -- a little emotional , or maybe this sounds presumptuous , but ... that includes you . victoria : well , thank you . maybe we can be in each other 's army of support . sharon : i 'd like that . you know , if you feel tired , why do n't you get some rest ? i got to go soon anyway . victoria : thank you , sharon . it 's not really easy for me to tell people when i feel this way because i do n't want them to be more worried than they already are , you know ? sharon : no one understands that better than i do . lily : interesting first day at the office . billy : [ sighs ] that 's not how i wanted that to go . lily : well , that 's how it went . does n't exactly bode well . billy : look , lily , i 'm sorry my baggage landed in your lap like that . but i have to ask you , now that nick brought it up ... do you agree with him ? am i poison to the people that i love most ? lily : do you want the truth ? billy : i do n't know . do i ? lily : billy , i think that you 've made a lot of mistakes that have hurt people . but do i think that means it 's inevitable that you 're gon na screw up again ? no , i don't . my work with the inmates has shown me that people can change . that 's why i chose to be your partner . so [ sighs ] should we get back to work ? billy : [ sighs ] victor : well ! my goodness ! what a wonderful surprise ! look at that ! connor : are katie and johnny in the media room ? victor : wait a minute . you did n't come to see me ? adam : connor . connor : i love you , grandpa . victor : yes . i love you , too , okay ? now , your cousins are downstairs in the stables with your grandma , okay ? adam : go ahead . victor : you have a good time . adam : he 's been pestering me to come here all day . victor : yeah ? adam : he really does love the ranch . victor : what 's not to love ? so ... why do n't you tell me the real reason for your visit ? yes . it 's the first word of any new discovery . mariah : so , i am ready to go emotionally , but physically ... i do n't have any clothes . i just brought an overnight bag . tessa : hmm . well , it 's not really a problem . as you can see , everyone 's pretty much naked on the jet anyway . mariah : tanner does wear a shirt sometimes , right ? tessa : not if he can help it . mariah : cool . cool . tessa : [ laughs ] mariah : well , uh , i 'm gon na have to go shopping . that means , you know , maybe for some clothes ... some groupie clothes . i 'm thinking leather , maybe a little bit of snakeskin tessa : i can picture it . tanner : so ... we good ? ready to go ? tessa : yep . mariah : yeah . [ chuckles ] yeah . we 're -- we 're ready . [ chuckles ] um , so , where are we going first ? are we going east or west ? ooh ! can i sit next to the pilot ? tanner : [ chuckles ] tessa : yeah . you thought one of me was bad ? now you got two of us . buckle up . sharon : hey . nick : [ gasps ] sharon : how you doing ? everything okay ? nick : uh [ chuckles ] well , i just had another run - in with billy . sharon : about what ? nick : i guess he is going to take another company . this time he 's gon na take lily down with him . and then jill tricked me into leasing them the space , and -- and you know what ? compared to what you 're going through , none of this matters . i 'm sorry . sharon : no ! i 'm happy to hear about it if you want to talk . nick : no , no , no . i - i want to hear you . so ... hey ! how are you ? sharon : well , let 's see . i 'm having a pretty good day . oh , um , mariah and tessa got back together . nick : great to hear . sharon : mm - hmm . i had a really nice chat with victoria . nick : i 'm so glad that 's working out . sharon : oh , and do n't tell anyone , but i actually had a very pleasant exchange with victor . nick : now you 're just talking crazy . you do n't have to candy - coat stuff for me . sharon : i 'm not . i 'm serious . i 'm as shocked as you are . nick : miracles do happen . sharon : i guess so . nick : uh , i saw vick earlier . seems to me she 's doing better . do you feel that way , too ? sharon : mm - hmm . nick : what does that mean ? sharon : well , we had a good conversation , and , you know , i ca n't say anything specific , but it seems like maybe she 's trying hard to make it look like she 's getting better for everyone else 's sake . adam : look , i get the feeling my apology the other day fell on deaf ears . victor : mnh - mnh . heard every word of it . much appreciated . adam : just not appreciated enough . victor : i know that you resent the hell out of the fact that i gave the c.e.o . job to nicholas ... temporarily . just know that ... once victoria 's recovered from her illness , she 'll resume the reins of newman enterprises . if she were here , she 'd tell you the same thing . adam : oh ... i 'm sure she would . i understand that you still do n't trust me , and that 's okay ... because it 's gon na be our deeds , not our words , that are the true test of our relationship . and i plan to show you and everybody else my true colors . | adam and alyssa decide to find out if victor killed alyssa 's father . lily referees a verbal argument between nick and billy where nick tells billy that he will never allow him to hurt victoria , johnny , and katie again . billy is touched when lily tells him later that although he has made mistakes she believes he can change . sharon and victoria have a good first session and agree to become part of each other 's support system . mariah calls sharon and after they talk mariah decides to go on tour with tessa for a short time . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] mariah : [ crying ] i swear to god , if i touch you right now , i 'm never gon na let you go . tessa : [ crying ] i do n't want you to let go .

[ doorbell rings ] hey , who knows ? might be sooner than we thought . alyssa : okay . i do n't know what you were thinking , but -- [ clears throat ] hey ! how you doing , connor ? you remember me ? connor : yeah . from kansas . alyssa : mm . connor : what are you doing here ? alyssa : i 'm just here to talk to your dad . adam : connor , why you go up and play in your room for a little while , okay ? alyssa : you were n't completely honest with me . adam : i know . i - it 's complicated . alyssa : [ chortles ] seems pretty simple to me . not only do you suspect my father was a killer , you think yours is one , too . [ footsteps approach ] sharon : oh , um , i was just going to wait for victoria in here . i can wait in another room . victor : no , no . that 's alright . please come in . sharon : before you say anything , let me say i know that you 're opposed to me counseling victoria , but , honestly , i am just here to help . that 's all . victor : well , i do n't want to argue with you about that . sharon : you do n't ? victor : no . how are you coping ? sharon : coping ? victor : with your cancer diagnosis . sharon : oh . uh ...

billy : why do you care ? it 's not your office anymore . nick : i do n't want you in it . billy : well , you should have thought about that before you signed a lease with jill . nick : you 're working for chancellor now ? billy : this floor is the home of chancellor 's new media division , which i will be running . nick : jill did not mention what the space was for or who would be using it . billy : well , you can read all about it in the press release we 'll be putting out soon . nick : oh , i ca n't wait . `` billy abbott and unfulfilled promises . `` sound familiar ?

tessa : mm . yeah . i know we can . mariah : how can you be so confident ? tessa : because we 've -- we 've both made mistakes , and we 've learned from them . mariah : i will never cheat on you again ... and i will never keep what 's bothering me from you . but how can we be sure that i wo n't find some new and different way to screw up ? tessa : oh , i 'm betting on it . mariah : what ? tessa : well , mistakes are a part of life . without them , you never change or grow . i know because i have made more mistakes than probably anybody . mariah : [ chuckles softly ] tessa : and i want the two of us to keep growing and changing together . mariah : i want that , too . and maybe we can make each other better versions of ourselves . tessa : you 've already done that for me . from now on , things are only gon na just keep getting better . mariah : i really hope you 're right ... tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : ... because we 're about to face our first obstacle . you 're going back on tour ... i have to go home , and we 're gon na be long distance ... again . billy : i have my regrets about what happened with victoria , but i 'm not about to discuss them with you . nick : you do n't have to . i already know what happened . you used her till it was n't convenient for you anymore . billy : that 's not at all what happened . nick : billy ... this is who you are . it 's what you do . you just move on to the next thing , which i guess is this company . but it does n't look great for you that jill had to lie about your involvement in order to get this lease . billy : actually , i had no idea what jill was up to , and , apparently , neither do you , which does give me a certain sense of satisfaction . nick : well , you can bet i 'll be talking to her about it . billy : okay . good luck . i saw the lease , and you 're stuck with us . sharon : my , uh -- my first talks with victoria went pretty well , i think . victor : well , i think it went so well that she ended up being in her office again before she was ready , i think . sharon : well , she 's going to have to figure that out on her own . i 'm just here to try to help her get through it . victor : but , you know , my concern is that this would be too taxing for both of you . sharon : well , we 're aware of the toll that it might take , so we 're going to be careful not to overdo it , but i honestly think spending this time together has been -- it 's been really beneficial for both of us . victor : mm - hmm . sharon : is there ... something else you want to say ? victor : no . no . not at all . sharon : are you okay ? victor : yeah . i 'm fine . thank you for asking . sharon : right . i think i used to be able to read you a little bit better . victor : not as well as you think you do . sharon : okay . so , there 's nothing else weighing on you ? victor : no . alyssa : i assume chelsea filled you in on our conversation . adam : she did . alyssa : is she here ? adam : uh , she 's actually out meeting with her business partner about her fashion line . alyssa : might be for the best , since this is really between you , me , and our fathers . adam : listen , i - i apologize for not being completely honest with you . it 's just it 's really hard for me to imagine that my father could 've killed somebody . alyssa : i know . you hear something truly terrible about someone you love , and it 's just like a knife to the heart . adam : mm - hmm . alyssa : my first reaction was to get defensive . adam : i understand . alyssa : but i did n't mean to take that out on you . i mean , knowing that my father was a loan shark is one thing , but suspecting that he might be responsible for cliff 's death is another . [ sighs ] cliff was a good man . i remember him being a great father when we were kids . adam : he was . alyssa : so , i 'm -- i 'm sorry i lashed out . adam : listen , i do not blame you for anything . and you should n't feel guilty about something your father might have done . alyssa : i wish it were that easy . adam : believe me . i know . alyssa : i get why you did n't want to say anything . you did n't want to incriminate your dad . but if things went down the way you think they did ... that means both our fathers killed someone . i mean , that 's a lot to process , but do n't you think we need to know the truth ? adam : i mean , it 's better than not knowing . [ sighs ] tessa : i - i know we can do long distance . mariah : this time . tessa : well , this time we 're gon na be better . mariah : i am going to be better . tessa : no . no . w - we -- we are gon na be more in tune with each other 's feelings , more diligent about making time for each other , and we 're gon na be open about our issues because we know what 's at stake . mariah : i know we will . it 's just so hard . [ chuckles softly ] it 's so hard to leave you . i mean , we just got back together . tessa : yeah . i know . it 's killing me . [ groans ] [ sighs ] tessa : well , maybe i should just take a break from tour . mariah : what ? no . no . there 's no way that you 're doing that . tessa : i know , but i just -- mariah : no . but nothing . you are finally getting the success that you 've worked so hard for , and i am not gon na take that away from you . but ... maybe we can flip the script . tessa : are you saying what i think you 're saying ? nick : see , here 's the thing . i do n't just want you out of this building . i want you out this town , period . i want you as far away from my sister as possible . billy : well , i 'm not gon na hurt her again . nick : how am i supposed to believe that after the countless broken vows and promises and your reckless behavior that led to her getting stabbed by some stalker ? do you even give a damn about that ? billy : of course i do . i hate what happened . and do n't you dare question the feelings that i have for the mother of my children . nick : you know , billy , i 'm getting real tired of your after - the - fact regrets . billy : and i 'm getting tired of being a scapegoat for you and your father . every day he does something awful , and everybody just forgives and forgets . nick : my dad 's paid for what he 's done . billy : oh , come on , nick . it was n't that long ago that he lied to victoria , telling her that he had proof that i slept with amanda , which never happened . and yet , somehow , that information disintegrates into thin air . nick : your relationship imploding with my sister 's got nothing to do with my dad . that 's on you . billy : i know , and i 'm taking responsibility for my actions , which is the point . your father never does . he lied to his daughter 's face ... and there 's no consequences paid by him once again . nick : that 's between my dad and victoria . billy : and there you are , right , making excuses for him , enabling him every single time . he snaps fingers , you go straight back to the company like a loyal little foot soldier . nick : excuse me ? ! lily : uh , excuse me . what 's going on here ? nick : hey , lily . lily : hi . billy : i 'm just congratulating nick on officially becoming victor jr . victor : i 'm concerned about victoria ... and i want to make sure that nicholas gets all the help he need to make sure that newman runs smoothly , okay ? sharon : okay . i just thought i sensed something else is going on . victor : no . nope , nothing . sharon : alright . well , i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but if you ever need a sounding board ... victor : i promise you ... i won't . [ footsteps approach ] victoria : hi . victor : hi , sweetheart . victoria : uh , i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . victor : not at all . sharon : no . victor : if you will forgive me ... victoria : so , what was going on there ? sharon : i do n't know . victoria : you were n't at each other 's throats ? sharon : i ca n't explain it . victoria : okay . well , then i wo n't question it . sharon : that 's probably for the best . alyssa : the more i think about it , the more i fear your suspicions about what happened might be right . [ sighs ] cliff ca n't pay his loan back to my dad . my father hires someone to scare him . it goes wrong . adam : mm . alyssa : dad goes to prison . when he gets out , he hounds your mother for the money he 's owed . victor is furious . and then my father falls from a barn loft to his death . adam : i mean , that would explain why my mother did n't want to go to the funeral and why your mother refused to talk about your dad for years . alyssa : but we still do n't have any evidence . adam : yeah . but the question is , do we want to look for it ? i mean , it 's a big decision ... alyssa : [ sighs ] adam : ... and it could lead us down a road we might not want to travel . alyssa : and once we do , there 's no going back . adam : and i - i do n't want to push you into anything , so if you do n't want to pursue this , i - i won't ... 'cause we 're in this together . alyssa : [ scoffs ] i 'm not sure that we have much of a choice anymore . i mean , if we leave things out there unanswered , it 's going to eat at us for the rest of our lives . adam : yeah . alyssa : at least i know it will for me . [ sighs ] i 'll start looking into it . adam : okay . do you mind if i ask how you 're gon na go about doing that ? alyssa : the usual way -- asking questions , collecting documents . adam : and i - i understand that that 's usually the way it 's done . but if victor newman even gets a whiff of what you 're up to , he 's gon na shut it down like that . alyssa : so , what are you suggesting , then ? adam : that you need a plan . and i can help you come up with one . tessa : [ clears throat ] mariah : hey ! put some clothes on . [ chuckles ] tanner : hey . mariah : wow . he 's still not putting any clothes on . tessa : unh - unh . tanner : you guys are back together . tessa : yeah . mariah : we are . tanner : i had a feeling you were with mariah . tessa : in a thousand - thread - count fortress of love . tanner : huh ? [ chuckles ] mariah : uh , i have to give you credit for our reconciliation , so thank you for letting me go on stage and humiliate myself . tanner : well , uh , your humiliation got us our loudest applause of the night , so i 'm good with it . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : and i also wanted to apologize for accusing you of putting the moves on tessa . tanner : already forgotten . tessa : well , we are glad you said that , because we have a big favor to ask of you . mariah : how would you feel about a superdevoted fangirl coming on tour with you ? it 's me . it 's me . the fangirl is , uh -- is me . it would just be short- term , and i promise i would be the best groupie ever . tanner : [ clicks tongue ] i do n't know . [ chuckles ] i 'm messing with you . i 'd love it . mariah : really ? tanner : yeah . i mean , our audience witnessed your angst , and i would -- i 'd really hate to deprive them of that happy afterparty . mariah : [ chuckles ] tessa : [ chuckles ] thank you . yes ! mariah : that was easier than i thought . and now that we have tanner 's approval ... there 's just somebody else 's that i need to get . victoria : so , i guess this is our first official session . sharon : well , we do n't have to think of it like that . victoria : [ clears throat ] yeah . it just -- i do n't know -- feels a little weird . sharon : weird how ? victoria : just do n't do that open - ended - question thing . sharon : [ laughing ] okay . so , weird like ... a bad first date . victoria : yeah , now that you mention it . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , we can talk about those , too , but we might be here for a while . victoria : especially if we start talking about bad relationships . sharon : bad marriages . victoria : how much time do you have ? sharon : [ chuckles ] victoria : [ chuckles ] seriously , i do n't know what to talk about . i mean ... i do n't know . nothing 's coming to my mind . sharon : well , let 's not force it . let 's just , you know , do something to take our mind off of everything , like , um ... a chess game . or is no one allowed to touch victor 's chessboard ? victoria : i wouldn't . sharon : are you serious ? is he watching us right now , or is this wired to an alarm ? [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] victor really does see himself as the king , does n't he ? and nikki is his queen . and i wonder where i fit into all of it . he probably just sees me as a pawn . victoria : well , you 're the mother of his grandchildren , so i think he sees you as a rook , at the very least . sharon : well , i like to think of myself as my own queen ... with my own army around me . victoria : oh . queen sharon . sharon : exactly . [ chuckles ] you know , i - i really am grateful for all the people in my life ... and all of the love and support they 've given me . you know , there 's nick , too . he 's doing double duty . he 's helping both of us . victoria : i know . my brother is a great guy . sharon : he really is . see ? you have an army of your own . victoria : yeah , i do . my parents have been wonderful . i could n't ask for more . and it 's funny , is n't it ? it 's bizarre , actually , how our children are ... stepping in to help us . like reed -- he calls me every day . he never does that . sharon : [ chuckling ] oh , my gosh . noah does the same . hey , maybe we 're on to something here . victoria : yeah , using our plights to get our children 's attention . sharon : [ chuckles ] no . the plan is a little bit flawed . i was really worried about how mariah and faith were gon na handle the news at first and the day - to- day stress , but ... i think they 've both found a strength inside of them that they did n't know they had . you know , they 've been with me through all the ups and downs , and ... it 's really made the difference . and , you know , rey 's been great . victoria : well , yeah . mm - hmm . sharon : oh . i 'm sorry . i mean , i did n't mean to say -- victoria : no , you do n't have to be sorry . it 's fine . i 'm a queen without a king . it 's okay . sharon : hey , tell me if this is a little bit too personal , & but ... are things really over between you and billy ? billy : how many times have you sworn you 'd never go back to newman enterprises and as soon as daddy calls , you go crawling back ? nick : do n't pretend to know anything about me . lily : okay . let 's just take this down a notch , please . nick : not sure if you 're caught up on current events , lily , but the reason i 'm back at newman is 'cause this punk shows up to a party , drunk , that he was n't invited to , which led to my sister getting stabbed by some lunatic . lily : okay . that 's not really any of my siness . billy : no . see , that 's my point . you 're just making excuses , just like your father , casting blame around . nick : no . you are to blame , billy , but you just do n't get it . everyone who gets close to you gets hurt . you 're like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode . well , let me tell you something . as far as this family 's concerned , that 's over . i 'm never letting you hurt victoria or katie or johnny ever again . billy : i am a damn good father , and you should keep my kids ' names out of your mouth . lily : okay , okay , okay . that is enough . wow ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hy - a - lur - onic acid . mariah : i 'm worried about deserting my mom . i mean , i know she has an amazing support system and she 's been so strong . but there are some days when chemo just ... kicks her butt ... and [ sighs ] i do n't know if i can abandon her right now . tessa : yeah , no , i get it . but as someone who was kept out of the loop myself , i think you should at least call her . make the decision with her instead of shutting her out . victoria : you know , it 'd be really easy for me to hate billy ... um , but , honestly , i can't . part of me wishes that he was here to help me through this and i could lean on him . sharon : and is that out of the realm of possibility ? victoria : yeah . that 's not an option . [ cellphone rings ] sharon : oh , that 's mariah . victoria : go ahead . sharon : hey , you . i 'm so glad you called . tell me , how did things go with tessa ? mariah : better than i could have hoped . we 're back together . sharon : oh , my gosh ! that 's so great ! good for you ! i 'm so happy ! mariah : thank you . thank you for everything -- for being you , for being my rock . sharon : that 's what moms are for . mariah : and that 's what daughters are for ... which is what ... makes this so hard . sharon : what ? what is ? mariah : uh , tessa and i were discussing ... me going on tour with her . adam : look , victor 's got eyes and ears everywhere . so even if you start with someone on the periphery of all this , chances are word is gon na get back to him and he may retaliate . alyssa : well , i 'd definitely like to avoid that . adam : okay . then i need you to be as quiet and as stealthy as possible so you wo n't raise any red flags . and that is where i can help , because i know how to unearth some skeletons in my dad 's closet without him knowing . but i need you to protect me by keeping my name out of it . alyssa : right . the key is to get to the truth . then we 'll just figure out what to do with it . it will be hard for me to find an outlet that 'll agree to publish it without me identifying my sources . adam : you do n't need to worry about that , okay ? i own a stake in an online news outlet , and i can get your article published exactly as written . the editor will not ask any questions . alyssa : but is n't that a potential conflict of interest ? adam : why ? whatever the facts turn out to be , the article is gon na be 100 % true . all i 'm doing is i 'm making sure the site gets an exclusive on it and that we 're both protected . alyssa : it does sound like an ideal way to publish a story . [ chuckles ] you really know how to get things done . adam : and you really know how to ferret out the truth . you know , together , we 're a pretty good team . alyssa : who 'd have thought when we were kids , skipping stones on the lake , that all these years later we 'd be brought together by something like this ? adam : no , our childhoods might have felt idyllic , but ... people are the same everywhere and capable of good and -- and evil . alyssa : i guess all children have a primal need to understand their parents . adam : [ chuckles ] well , some people make it their mission in life . now , look , i know it can be paralyzing ... to think you were born with tainted dna , but the thing is , what do you do with that ? do you live with it ? do you try to burn it away or ... expose it to the light ? lily : okay . everyone , take a breath . nick : what are you doing here anyway ? lily : i am billy 's partner in the new division . nick : no . lily : yes . nick : lily , that 's a terrible idea . lily : [ chuckles softly ] nick : you know what ? i think it 's real funny that your mom did n't think you could do this job on your own . billy : go ahead . laugh it up . you 're a temp for your dad . nick : well , you work for your mom . lily : okay . really , guys ? really ? nick : he 's gon na grind this company into the ground just like he did every other job . billy : how 's dark horse going ? nick : and he 's gon na take you with him . lily : okay . that 's enough . geez . how do you get skin happy 24/7 ? sharon : would you be going on this tour with tessa right away ? mariah : you know what ? this was a bad idea . for - forget i said anything . sharon : no . hold on . mariah : no , tessa and i were talking about it , and , you know , we just got back together , but i can see now it 's completely impractical . i 'm coming home tonight . sharon : mariah . mariah : what ? sharon : can i please get a word in here ? mariah : sure . sharon : okay . you absolutely have to go on this trip . mariah : no , no . this is you being selfless and me being selfish . sharon : that is nonsense . this is about you living your life . you know ... i was just talking to someone about the overabundance of support i have in my life . and i ca n't tell you how much your happiness means to me and lifts my spirits . you know , i need a steady inflow of good news , so keep it coming . mariah : really ? i can check in constantly -- calls , texts . i 'll even send postcards . sharon : that would be great . but just knowing that you 're traveling the world with the woman you love is something positive for me to hold on to . mariah : are you sure about this ? summer : yeah . i 'm sure . mariah : i wo n't be gone long . sharon : take all the time you need . you and tessa just -- you really deserve this time together . mariah : thank you . and if you need me , i - i can come home at a moment 's notice . just -- just call me . sharon : i know . i love you . mariah : i love you , too . sharon : okay . well , have a great time , and i will talk to you soon . bye . [ sighs ] sorry . victoria : oh , no . there 's absolutely no need to be sorry . sharon : you know , i really am lucky ... for all the great people i have in my life . [ sighs ] you know ... maybe i 'm -- i do n't know -- a little emotional , or maybe this sounds presumptuous , but ... that includes you . victoria : well , thank you . maybe we can be in each other 's army of support . sharon : i 'd like that . you know , if you feel tired , why do n't you get some rest ? i got to go soon anyway . victoria : thank you , sharon . it 's not really easy for me to tell people when i feel this way because i do n't want them to be more worried than they already are , you know ? sharon : no one understands that better than i do . lily : interesting first day at the office . billy : [ sighs ] that 's not how i wanted that to go . lily : well , that 's how it went . does n't exactly bode well . billy : look , lily , i 'm sorry my baggage landed in your lap like that . but i have to ask you , now that nick brought it up ... do you agree with him ? am i poison to the people that i love most ? lily : do you want the truth ? billy : i do n't know . do i ? lily : billy , i think that you 've made a lot of mistakes that have hurt people . but do i think that means it 's inevitable that you 're gon na screw up again ? no , i don't . my work with the inmates has shown me that people can change . that 's why i chose to be your partner . so [ sighs ] should we get back to work ? billy : [ sighs ] victor : well ! my goodness ! what a wonderful surprise ! look at that ! connor : are katie and johnny in the media room ? victor : wait a minute . you did n't come to see me ? adam : connor . connor : i love you , grandpa . victor : yes . i love you , too , okay ? now , your cousins are downstairs in the stables with your grandma , okay ? adam : go ahead . victor : you have a good time . adam : he 's been pestering me to come here all day . victor : yeah ? adam : he really does love the ranch . victor : what 's not to love ? so ... why do n't you tell me the real reason for your visit ? yes . it 's the first word of any new discovery . mariah : so , i am ready to go emotionally , but physically ... i do n't have any clothes . i just brought an overnight bag . tessa : hmm . well , it 's not really a problem . as you can see , everyone 's pretty much naked on the jet anyway . mariah : tanner does wear a shirt sometimes , right ? tessa : not if he can help it . mariah : cool . cool . tessa : [ laughs ] mariah : well , uh , i 'm gon na have to go shopping . that means , you know , maybe for some clothes ... some groupie clothes . i 'm thinking leather , maybe a little bit of snakeskin tessa : i can picture it . tanner : so ... we good ? ready to go ? tessa : yep . mariah : yeah .

[ scene_break ] sami : okay , austin , tell me what you want to say about our relationship . austin : okay , you know how i have very strong feelings for you , right ? sami : okay . so if you want to tell me that you do n't love me , just say it . austin : i do love you . i almost married you , remember ? i 'm just not sure that we should pursue things right now if you 're under the impression that things will definitely lead to marriage , because there 's a real possibility that it wo n't .

mariah : merry christmas , genoa city . okay , i 'm gon na be honest with you guys . i am super excited to be here with you because the holidays are for family , and that 's what we are . we 're family now , you know ? we 're like that uncle who keeps calling you `` pudgkin . `` i mean , why does he keep doing that ? or your grandma who leaves her teeth in a glass by the sink . yup , that 's us . we 're family . the gc crew . so , i want you guys to do me a favor today . i want you to write in , go online , call in because i want to hear about your most amazing holiday moments . and i 'm gon na pass them onto you guys , aka the fan , the viewers because that 's what the holidays are about . memories . memories that you will carry with you the rest of the year . and , before you give me too much credit for this genius idea , it 's really just an extension of last year 's brilliance . do you guys remember last year ? everyone 's favorite billionaire devon hamilton underwrote the gc buzz toy drive . he was santa 's mvp helper . and it 's happening again this year , as well . it 'll happen every year as part of the hilary foundation set up in her honor . and i 'm here because of hilary , too . all of us are . she is the one who turned us into a unit . you , me , and the elves working the cameras and the sound today . hilary was funny . she was feisty , naughty and nice , and while she would hate being called an angel ... because of her , there 's more joy in the world . because i see it in the e - mails i get , pictures of kids ' faces from their parents opening a box of happiness today . i mean , what is better than that ? it 's not about the stuff . it 's about being remembered , being special and loved . ' tis the reason for the season . for one day each year , regardless of old hurts and wounds , we hold onto the stuff that matter . we make new memories . the rest of the world fades away for one bright , shiny moment . cynicism , commercialism -- all the -isms go away . all that 's left ... is love . and , you know what , that is the christmas miracle . so if you 're with friends or family today , or you 're flying solo , no matter what , we 're here together for this hour . and i think that that is pretty amazing . so pour yourself a cup of whatever floats your boat , and let 's sprinkle it with a little bit of christmas cheer . billy : okay , for the last one , this goes way up top , way up in the nosebleeds , up in the stratosphere . look at how high that is . [ cellphone chimes ] do you think santa 's reindeer can even get that high ? johnny : yeah . billy : are you sure ? katie : yeah . billy : i do n't think so . okay , ready ? drop ! there it is ! everything okay ? victoria : yeah , it 's -- it 's not about mom , it 's work . dad was in the middle of this deal with asia , but now that he 's off the grid ... [ sighs ] it 's bad enough for the family , but it 's awful for the business . so i have to do it . i 've got to be dad . billy : look , i know you 're scared right now -- victoria : it 's not fear , billy , it 's work . billy : okay , but do you have to take care of it right this second , vick ? victoria : yes , i do , because there 's something that i have to do . i have to . katie : mommy , come see ! victoria : just a second , hon . victor : you knew i would be back , did n't you ? i do n't give a damn about j.t . or the police or anyone else . i just had to come back to you . you understand , my baby ? my life changed the moment i met you . in fact , i changed . i made myself your teacher . it 's absurd when i think about it now . me teaching you . well , i mean , i taught you about clothes and place settings and conversations one should or should not have in a country club ... but all along , you were teaching me , my baby . you were teaching me how to love . i did n't know anything about that . i grew up in a cold , cold environment . you opened my heart . do you remember our first christmas ? nikki : victor , because of all the disappointment and unhappiness that you had as a child , you have the wrong idea of what christmas means . you see , christmas is like a beginning , and once a year , we all try to do better , to give more and love more , even if it 's just for that one day . it 's a step forward . and when we celebrate the birthday of jesus , we see there is a better way of living . and if we ignore that ... then we -- we just miss out on a fresh start for the year . victor : it is christmas today . it 's a fresh start . i was gone , but i came back , my baby . do you feel this ? it 's my heart . it 's beating for you , my baby . come back to me now . come back to me . additional sponsorship mariah : so , one of my elves brought me a comment from carina in st . louis . carina says that every year , she makes her mom 's italian christmas cookies . oh , wait , are those the ones with the , like , the sprinkles on top ? they are -- oh , my god . i love those . well , anyway , carina says that her mom is gone , and her kids never got the chance to meet her . but every year , they get excited for nonna 's cookies . so i guess , in a way , the kids got to know their grandma , after all . so thank you , carina , for the reminder that there 's always a way to keep those holiday memories alive . jack : do you remember that one ? i made that when i was six years old . we talked about it last year . dina : that ornament you showed me earlier ... i remember now . yes . i was the one that helped you make it . i told you to spell jacky with a y , not an ie . jack : that 's my memory , too . dina : good . i 'm aware that my memory will come and go , mostly go . and when it does , jack , when i become terribly difficult for you to handle ... i just want you to know that ... i love you now . and always . jack : and i love you . dina : oh , my boy ! jack : it mattered to me a lot -- jackie , not jack . it 's something we shared . just you and me . i was your jackie . you were my beautiful , stylish mother . you know , it might have been the same year that you and dad went to scotland , and you came back with matching sweaters for me and the girls . dina : who are you ? jack : it 's me , mother . it 's jackie . dina : you 're not on call today ? nate : no , no , just -- thank you . just one patient . they 'll let me know when i 'm needed . i mean , the snow 's not letting up , so i 'll probably be in for the duration . ana : so , what 's the plan ? hands up for movies and mac - and - cheese ! are you two serious ? no hands ? nate : there 's no reason to vote on the obvious , come on . nothing beats hot cheese on a cold day . devon : [ chuckles ] ana : you in ?

ana : next page . nate : yeah . ana : action ! oh ! there , that one . oh , wait , uh , you know , forget it . nate : yeah , well , how about , uh ... how about ... never mind . devon : the trailer for that one looks great . nate : it does n't mean the content is . devon : a man loses his wife ... ana : maybe we can just watch an old tv show . devon : okay , guys ... nate : yes , there has to be something that is -- devon : guys . guys . i 'm not gon na forget that hilary died , i 'm not gon na forget that it 's christmas , and i 'm not gon na forget that this is the first christmas that i 'm spending without her . it 's not great , but it 's not all bad because look who i 'm sharing the couch with right now . nate : eh , i do n't think you 're talking about me . devon : yeah , not really . when 's the last time you and i got to spend a holiday together ? ana : it was here , in town . devon : mm - hmm . ana : with mom . maybe ... six years ago ? devon : it was seven , actually , and it was great . it was a great time . ana : she was clean and sober . devon : mm - hmm . ana : she just ... i do n't know , it was like she was lit up from the inside . devon : yeah . she sure was . nate : by the sound of it , it seems like you guys , unfortunately , did n't have too many holidays like this . ana : i was raised by my aunt . she was the only mom i knew . you knew that part of the story , right ? nate : i did . ana : i did n't know much about my family for the longest time . it was all tangled up , who we are were to each other . but then ... i finally got the truth . devon : it was complicated , but you had a lot of people to love you . ana : i was lucky enough to get a brother . devon : mm - hmm . ana : and to be with our mom when she was sober . some people never get that . a second chance at family . devon : hey , nate , you know that she sings , right ? nate : i did . yes , yes , yes . ana : i used to sing . devon : mm - hmm . used to ? no , that -- a voice like yours does n't just go away . her and i sang at the church on that christmas eve we were together . nate : do you miss it ? i mean , not singing at church , just singing in general . ana : it 's part of me . but now i have new dreams -- not dreams , goals . nate : nice . well , it 's not even new year 's yet , and you already have your resolution . ana : let 's focus on one holiday at a time . devon : that 's right . let 's do that . and , right now , we have today , and the only thing that 's missing are my grandmother 's seven - layer bars . she would make those every single christmas , whether we had a lot of presents or not , or sometimes we would n't even have a big holiday meal , but we would always have those bars . ana : mm - hmm . nate : please tell me you had enough sense to remember the recipe because , listen , man , my sweet tooth is kickin ' in heavy . devon : yeah ? you gon na go to the supermarket in the snow ? ana : or you could open the pantry in the kitchen . i got the ingredients . devon : you serious ? nate : come on . ana : we used to make them in my house , too . devon : what 's the matter ? ana : stop looking at me and find something to watch . nate : no . ana : [ sighs ] once i knew i had a brother , this is what i pictured , okay ? well , not this . nobody pictures this . that 's crazy . but i just -- i wanted to know you . to have days like this . devon : what are you doing ? what is that ? ana : you . when you were little . devon : oh , my gosh . ana : i found it in a box my aunt kept . i took it . for when i could n't be near you . devon : hey . we are together now , all right ? ana : okay . you ca n't order in today . you actually have to go into the kitchen and make the food . devon : oh , that 's asking a whole lot . ana : so now you 're all talk , no game ? nate : i know i 'm game . when it comes to mac - and - cheese , i 'm not just makin ' noise . so let 's do this , all right ? you bars , we mac . boom . ana : yes ! nate : yeah ? all right . let 's do it . ana : the food wo n't make itself . devon : okay . okay . mariah : do n't ! do n't look at me ! turn away ! what do you want from me ? it 's dusty in here ! no , it 's just so many of you are sending in the sweetest memories of your special holidays , and it got me thinking -- how many of those special moments are spent with people that you 've lost or that you ca n't be with for some reason or another ? nikki : okay , open your eyes . i was gon na wait and give it to you later on in the week , but i just -- i had to give it to you tonight . i wanted you to have something that would remind you of this night always , and every time you 'll see it , you 'll think of this moment and how you feel right now , and -- and maybe that 'll make up for some of the disappointment and bad memories that you 've had . victor : mm , well , what about the christmas angel who gave it to me ? will i remember her , too ? nikki : oh , i 'm not an angel . angels do n't wear black . victor : that 's right . but we can fix that , you know . nikki : oh , do you want me to go upstairs ? i 'll change my dress . victor : you stay right here . victor : now , i ... i thought i would give this to you as a new year 's present , but i think it means as much to you right now , does n't it ? merry christmas . nikki : oh ! how do i look ? victor : like a christmas angel . nikki : thank you so much , victor . i feel like a queen . victor : yes . you 're not just this beautiful woman in the white fur coat . you 're a strong , loving woman . and you 're as damn stubborn as i am . you know you used your illness in honor to inspire others . remember the concert ? i encouraged you to go on and perform . because i needed to convince myself that you would n't just fade away from me . all i want is to make magic for you . i want you to show this whole town what you 're made of . i love you . and i know you love me . nikki : thank you . victor : i need you . i need you more than ever . i ca n't imagine the world without you . come back to me , baby . billy : look . i know you 're worried , but turning into victor is not the answer . victoria : that 's not what i 'm doing . billy : okay , you 're working on christmas morning . that 's exactly like your dad , like , bar - none . victoria : okay . it 's important , billy . no ! billy : all right , we 're gon na do a little experiment , okay ? [ gasps ] you hear that ? see ? the world did not combust . everything 's fine . victoria : i have something that i need to do . billy : guess what ? mom just came up with the best idea ever ! you want to hear it ? okay , she said we 're gon na bundle up , we 're gon na go outside , and we 're gon na check out all the christmas decorations in the whole neighborhood . then we 're gon na get some hot cocoa . then we 're gon na go ice skating , and then we 're gon na get some more hot cocoa , then we 're gon na go for a sleigh ride , and then we 'll come back home , we 'll have some more hot cocoa , and then we 'll play race cars over here , and the best part about it is , daddy gets to win ! johnny : yay ! katie : yay ! so many of you guys have written in , talking about your own parents , and we can spend a lifetime in therapy because of them , but when you 're a kid , nobody means more to you than them . they bring the magic . jack : here , it 's not too hot . i checked it twice . dina : thank you . oh ! mmm . hibiscus . jack : yep . one of your favorites . dina : oh , yes , i -- i wore a red hibiscus flower in my hair , and somewhere ... somewhere on the beach ... it was very hot . you know , change is good . very good . it 's about being alive . do n't be afraid of it . cherish those memories . all of them . of course the party was canceled . it figures . your father 's away on business , as usual . your sisters are with their friends . and my one event is called off because of the snow . [ sighs ] why on earth do we even live here ? we should spending half the year in fiji . or better yet , the south of france . i want to be somewhere warm , jackie . i want the sun . jack : [ chuckles ] you 've been everywhere , have n't you ? dina : so many places . you do n't realize it yet , but the world is so much larger than this . there 's music and laughing and cheerful drinks . and when you go away , there 's no such thing as work . that 's the key . it 's a permanent vacation , and the real world is not allowed . jack : do you have any photos of your trips ? dina : i 'm sure i must . let me pull them out . [ telephone rings ] hello ? [ laughing ] oh ! you 're a doll to think of me ! i 'd love to . i 'm on my way . that was marlene . it 's just a little something , but at least all of this wo n't go to waste . and you do n't mind , do you ? we can look at photographs some other time . [ giggles ] jack : sure . dina : but then again , do i really want to make small talk about the weather ? that sounds like a terrible way to spend such a special day . i would much rather just stay here with you and have fun . how does that sound ? jack : i 'd love that . a lot . [ both laugh ] dina : merry christmas , jackie . jack : merry christmas , mother . mariah : and the one thing that all of these e - mails show me is that memories are the most precious gifts that we will ever get . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nate : man , these will kill you . ana : coconut is a superfood . nate : yeah , condensed milk is n't , though . devon : mm , is that why you had three of them ? nate : might even go in for four . devon : [ chuckles ] my grandma would have slapped your hand away and told you save the rest of the elders . and then she 'd sneak and give you one anyway . she was cool like that . she was -- she was a little tough , a little sweet , but she was a lot of heart . ana : you have anyone like that ? nate : mostly likely . devon : what does that mean ? you 're not gon na sit on my couch and eat my food and get in my business and then be shy . nate : all right . you want a story ? ana : i do . devon : yeah . nate : all right , fine . so , you know my dad passed when i was young . devon : mm - hmm . nate : and , uh , neil 's brother malcolm , he married my mom . ana : right , right , which is why we 're cousins , basically . nate : right . malcolm , he was always cool . he was smart , he was stylish , he was handsome . you know , everybody wanted to be around him , wanted to be him , and , well , when i was young ... it was bad . it was like i was never going to measure up to him . i mean , good grades , yes , fine , but , i mean , look at the man . he 's just -- flying all over the world , taking pictures of whatever , whoever ... ana : but you 're a doctor . nate : yes , now , but back then , i was a nerd , and , uh ... and malcolm clued in . he saw that i was having a hard time not being more like him , and he told me , he said , `` being smart is cool , be creating , giving a damn , trying hard , working your butt off -- that is as cool as it gets . `` he made feel good about being me , being who i was , and it was the best gift anyone ever gave me . billy : all right , all right . good job . that snow fort is solid , so now we just got to get the couch and tv out there in the snow club . what do you say ? katie : no ! johnny : yeah ! billy : no ? party pooper . that 's a better idea . mom , can you , uh , handle those , please ? victoria : really ? we 're freezing snowballs ? billy : we have to protect the fort from invading snowmen , right ? katie : yes ! victoria : i 'm gon na go make some hot chocolate , and , yes , i will either put these in the freezer or i will melt them in the sink -- one or the other . billy : you do what you got to do because now we are on car duty ! johnny : best christmas ever ! billy : see ? victoria : yeah . victor : i wanted to spoil you , my baby . show you the world only i could give you . i have n't said that i 've changed my mind about everything . nikki : well , then , why are you doing this ? victor : because i think i want to show you off , and i want to make you happy . so , you see , basically , i 'm still the same selfish scrooge i 've always been . nikki : oh , no . do n't ever say that . you 're wonderful . victor : merry christmas to you , for many years to come . nikki : merry christmas , victor . this is the happiest one of my life . ana : i 'll be right back . nate : all right . devon : has it been the best christmas since carolyn passed ? nate : yeah , i 've had -- i 've had time to get used to the way things are and , you know , i ca n't tell you it 's good or painless , but it is better than what it was , you know ? i know you 're not there . devon : i 'm doing better , getting through it . this is -- it 's tough because for such a long time , hilary was the biggest part of my life . and even when we were apart , every thought i had was tied to her in some way . and now i 'm just trying to figure out what to do with all the free space in my mind , that energy , you know ? nate : especially when getting out of bed is asking a lot , you know ? devon : at first , i felt weird going to therapy and paying somebody to give me advice , but it 's been good . it 's giving me a lot of tools to help with those panic attacks . i 'm not feeling like my heart 's about to jump out of my chest . have you ever had one of those ? nate : i 've seen a few before . devon : it is christmas , and we do n't have to pretend that it 's not . is it how i imagined it ? not exactly . but here i am , sitting on the couch with the guy from across the hall . nate : [ chuckles ] i 'm honored . thank you . devon : i remember last christmas , hilary was getting ready for her show , and this package shows up with this beautiful , beautiful elegant designer dress . nate : from you ? devon : no , it was from her . she bought it for herself . she , um ... she knew that she deserved it . if someone was n't gon na get her something , she was n't gon na wait for , you know , for them . she was gon na do it herself . she was n't gon na ask questions . she was just always in constant motion , always out there trying to make something happen . a woman like that can really change the world , man . nate : yeah . carolyn was the same way . the same way . more low - key , but self- assured . i remember the first time i laid eyes on her . it was at a lecture hall . the head of the department was speaking , and he had posited some assessments , and just presented them as facts , not up for debate . carolyn just politely raised her hand , and , uh , just took it all apart . devon : yeah ? nate : yeah . no attitude . no ego . just wanted to get it right , move on , that 's it . devon : she had you after that , did n't she ? you were done . nate : man , i said , if she could do that to him ... devon : yeah . nate : yeah . i was toast . devon : how long did it take you to ask her out ? nate : two whole weeks . devon : two weeks ? nate : two weeks . devon : damn , man ! that 's kind of sad . nate : a little bit , man . i know , right ? yeah . yeah . billy : man , they are out ! victoria : did you notice johnny ? billy : notice that his legs are two feet longer than they were last week ? victoria : [ sighs ] no , that he twitches once right before he goes to sleep . billy : what ? victoria : you do that . billy : i do not . victoria : yes , you do . how do you not know that you do that ? billy : probably because i 'm sleeping , if i do that . victoria : it was a good day . [ giggles ] billy : [ chuckles ] it turns out , we do n't suck at this `` parenting `` thing . victoria : no , we don't . our kids are happy and they 're healthy , and i 'm grateful . i 'm proud of us . billy : well , i 'm trying . all the things that i put you through , and i came off the rails not just this last time , but with dee dee and the times in between that i 've probably blocked out . victoria : nobody loved christmas more than delia . billy : mm . that best christmas ever , when she thought that her mom was getting married . victoria : but nope ! it was her dad instead . billy : yeah . she deserved christmas . the best christmas . that was the year that she beat cancer . victoria : with your help . billy : that little girl faced down leukemia , and then , in the end , it 's not the thing that took her away from us . she loved this house . she loved the family that we made for her , and she really liked cookies , when we did n't end up burning them . victoria : do n't even say it . merry christmas to you , too . billy : the tea parties and pinkerton pony . the girl was always down for a good time , was n't she ? victoria : you know that 's you , do n't you ? billy : what ? victoria : you play the pessimist . that 's your thing . but i think that you believe that happiness will come , and that something wonderful and new will be there for you to enjoy . billy : i 'm a screw - up , vick . dee dee knew that . her last christmas , i told her that there was gon na be toys and candy in her stocking and that there was gon na be coal in mine . she got all worried , all serious , and she held my face in her hands , and she said , `` no , daddy , you can be better than that . i believe that you can do it . i believe that you stop being naughty . `` well , things did n't turn out that way . victoria : you know , our two kids are upstairs . they 're worn out from the `` best christmas ever , `` right ? billy : well , to be fair , they do n't have many to compare it to . victoria : this was a good day . you did that . you did that . reed counts on you because you 're there for him , and you give him something that no one can . you give me something that no one can . billy : what 's that , regret and misery ? victoria : i 'm scared for my mom , i 'm worried for my dad . sometimes the burden of newman gets to be too much . but even before jamaica , you were the one that always reminded me how to really live . so , no , you 're not gon na get coal in your stocking this year . mariah : you all were so great today . thank you so much . and i was watching the thread on the gc buzz website during the breaks , and you all were so sweet and supportive and commenting on each other stories that we did n't get a chance to air . and it just got me thinking , you know ? why ca n't we do that all year long ? share happy emojis and support . and i know i am not the usual messenger for this sort of thing , but ... today , you guys really melted my frozen heart . and since so many of you were asking about my own very limited christmas memories , i thought that i would share something with you guys . this was my sister cassie 's . we were twins , and i never got a chance to meet her , but my mom gave this to me last year . and i know we share the same dna , but this is actually something she touched , you know ? something that she loved . and that makes this the most precious thing in the world to me . and i get it -- i know the holidays can be hard for some people , so that 's why i 'm asking you guys -- please , reach out , you know , to a neighbor who 's alone or to a neighbor if you yourself are lonely . reach out to somebody who ca n't be with the ones that they love because of time or distance or funds , loss ... we did n't do holidays when i was growing up , but i 've come to realize it 's about connecting . we really are in this life together , so reach out now , not later . feel that glow before it fades away . presents and trees and twinkly lights -- those things , they 're awesome . but please do n't forget the heart stuff . the greatest gift in the world is an act of kindness . a smile . a hug . a word . all year long . i 'm serious . so let 's try to spread the love while we can . [ sniffles ] so , from all of us here to you at home , i wish you a happy , healthy holiday . | mariah debuts her new hairstyle in this episode as she is hosting a holiday special with viewers calling in about their favorite memories , and she gives credit to the toy drive in memory of hillary . mariah gets emotional as she shares listeners special memories . she narrates throughout the show about special memories ending with her wishes that happiness and support could last all year long . at devon 's ana and nate try to occupy devon with food and a movie , realizing he is thinking this would have been his first christmas with hillary as his wife . devon admits to them that he is sad about hillary but grateful for them and the second chance at a family that he has . he shares memories of hillary with them . devon looks at a christmas card hillary had once given him . devon and nate share a moment where they commiserate on their lost loves . at victoria 's house katie and johnny are opening gifts as victoria and billy look on . victoria gets a work text and immediately becomes engrossed in work to which billy tells her she is not working on christmas and that they are going for a walk and the skating and hot chocolate . later the two remember delia and how much she loved christmas and how she beat cancer and that it was n't cancer that killed her . | <s>[INST] mariah : merry christmas , genoa city . okay , i 'm gon na be honest with you guys . i am super excited to be here with you because the holidays are for family , and that 's what we are . we 're family now , you know ? we 're like that uncle who keeps calling you `` pudgkin . `` i mean , why does he keep doing that ? or your grandma who leaves her teeth in a glass by the sink . yup , that 's us . we 're family . the gc crew . so , i want you guys to do me a favor today . i want you to write in , go online , call in because i want to hear about your most amazing holiday moments . and i 'm gon na pass them onto you guys , aka the fan , the viewers because that 's what the holidays are about . memories . memories that you will carry with you the rest of the year . and , before you give me too much credit for this genius idea , it 's really just an extension of last year 's brilliance . do you guys remember last year ? everyone 's favorite billionaire devon hamilton underwrote the gc buzz toy drive . he was santa 's mvp helper . and it 's happening again this year , as well . it 'll happen every year as part of the hilary foundation set up in her honor . and i 'm here because of hilary , too . all of us are . she is the one who turned us into a unit . you , me , and the elves working the cameras and the sound today . hilary was funny . she was feisty , naughty and nice , and while she would hate being called an angel ... because of her , there 's more joy in the world . because i see it in the e - mails i get , pictures of kids ' faces from their parents opening a box of happiness today . i mean , what is better than that ? it 's not about the stuff . it 's about being remembered , being special and loved .

they are -- oh , my god . i love those . well , anyway , carina says that her mom is gone , and her kids never got the chance to meet her . but every year , they get excited for nonna 's cookies . so i guess , in a way , the kids got to know their grandma , after all . so thank you , carina , for the reminder that there 's always a way to keep those holiday memories alive . jack : do you remember that one ? i made that when i was six years old . we talked about it last year . dina : that ornament you showed me earlier ... i remember now . yes . i was the one that helped you make it . i told you to spell jacky with a y , not an ie . jack : that 's my memory , too . dina : good . i 'm aware that my memory will come and go , mostly go . and when it does , jack , when i become terribly difficult for you to handle ... i just want you to know that ... i love you now . and always . jack : and i love you . dina : oh , my boy ! jack : it mattered to me a lot -- jackie , not jack . it 's something we shared . just you and me . i was your jackie . you were my beautiful , stylish mother . you know , it might have been the same year that you and dad went to scotland , and you came back with matching sweaters for me and the girls . dina : who are you ?

what is that ? ana : you . when you were little . devon : oh , my gosh . ana : i found it in a box my aunt kept . i took it . for when i could n't be near you . devon : hey . we are together now , all right ? ana : okay . you ca n't order in today . you actually have to go into the kitchen and make the food . devon : oh , that 's asking a whole lot . ana : so now you 're all talk , no game ? nate : i know i 'm game . when it comes to mac - and - cheese , i 'm not just makin ' noise . so let 's do this , all right ? you bars , we mac . boom . ana : yes ! nate : yeah ? all right . let 's do it . ana : the food wo n't make itself . devon : okay . okay . mariah : do n't ! do n't look at me ! turn away ! what do you want from me ? it 's dusty in here ! no , it 's just so many of you are sending in the sweetest memories of your special holidays , and it got me thinking -- how many of those special moments are spent with people that you 've lost or that you ca n't be with for some reason or another ? nikki : okay , open your eyes . i was gon na wait and give it to you later on in the week , but i just -- i had to give it to you tonight . i wanted you to have something that would remind you of this night always , and every time you 'll see it , you 'll think of this moment and how you feel right now , and -- and maybe that 'll make up for some of the disappointment and bad memories that you 've had . victor : mm , well , what about the christmas angel who gave it to me ? will i remember her , too ? nikki : oh , i 'm not an angel . angels do n't wear black . victor : that 's right . but we can fix that , you know . nikki : oh , do you want me to go upstairs ? i 'll change my dress . victor : you stay right here . victor : now , i ... i thought i would give this to you as a new year 's present , but i think it means as much to you right now , does n't it ? merry christmas . nikki : oh ! how do i look ? victor : like a christmas angel . nikki : thank you so much , victor . i feel like a queen . victor : yes . you 're not just this beautiful woman in the white fur coat . you 're a strong , loving woman . and you 're as damn stubborn as i am . you know you used your illness in honor to inspire others . remember the concert ? i encouraged you to go on and perform . because i needed to convince myself that you would n't just fade away from me . all i want is to make magic for you . i want you to show this whole town what you 're made of . i love you . and i know you love me . nikki : thank you . victor : i need you . i need you more than ever . i ca n't imagine the world without you . come back to me , baby . billy : look . i know you 're worried , but turning into victor is not the answer . victoria : that 's not what i 'm doing . billy : okay , you 're working on christmas morning . that 's exactly like your dad , like , bar - none . victoria : okay . it 's important , billy . no ! billy : all right , we 're gon na do a little experiment , okay ? [ gasps ] you hear that ? see ? the world did not combust . everything 's fine . victoria : i have something that i need to do . billy : guess what ? mom just came up with the best idea ever ! you want to hear it ? okay , she said we 're gon na bundle up , we 're gon na go outside , and we 're gon na check out all the christmas decorations in the whole neighborhood . then we 're gon na get some hot cocoa . then we 're gon na go ice skating , and then we 're gon na get some more hot cocoa , then we 're gon na go for a sleigh ride , and then we 'll come back home , we 'll have some more hot cocoa , and then we 'll play race cars over here , and the best part about it is , daddy gets to win ! johnny : yay ! katie : yay ! so many of you guys have written in , talking about your own parents , and we can spend a lifetime in therapy because of them , but when you 're a kid , nobody means more to you than them . they bring the magic . jack : here , it 's not too hot . i checked it twice . dina : thank you . oh ! mmm . hibiscus . jack : yep . one of your favorites . dina : oh , yes , i -- i wore a red hibiscus flower in my hair , and somewhere ... somewhere on the beach ... it was very hot . you know , change is good . very good . it 's about being alive . do n't be afraid of it . cherish those memories . all of them . of course the party was canceled . it figures . your father 's away on business , as usual . your sisters are with their friends . and my one event is called off because of the snow . [ sighs ] why on earth do we even live here ? we should spending half the year in fiji . or better yet , the south of france . i want to be somewhere warm , jackie . i want the sun . jack : [ chuckles ] you 've been everywhere , have n't you ? dina : so many places . you do n't realize it yet , but the world is so much larger than this . there 's music and laughing and cheerful drinks . and when you go away , there 's no such thing as work . that 's the key . it 's a permanent vacation , and the real world is not allowed . jack : do you have any photos of your trips ? dina : i 'm sure i must . let me pull them out . [ telephone rings ] hello ? [ laughing ] oh ! you 're a doll to think of me ! i 'd love to . i 'm on my way . that was marlene . it 's just a little something , but at least all of this wo n't go to waste . and you do n't mind , do you ? we can look at photographs some other time . [ giggles ] jack : sure . dina : but then again , do i really want to make small talk about the weather ? that sounds like a terrible way to spend such a special day . i would much rather just stay here with you and have fun . how does that sound ? jack : i 'd love that . a lot . [ both laugh ] dina : merry christmas , jackie . jack : merry christmas , mother . mariah : and the one thing that all of these e - mails show me is that memories are the most precious gifts that we will ever get . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nate : man , these will kill you . ana : coconut is a superfood . nate : yeah , condensed milk is n't , though . devon : mm , is that why you had three of them ? nate : might even go in for four . devon : [ chuckles ] my grandma would have slapped your hand away and told you save the rest of the elders . and then she 'd sneak and give you one anyway . she was cool like that . she was -- she was a little tough , a little sweet , but she was a lot of heart . ana : you have anyone like that ? nate : mostly likely . devon : what does that mean ? you 're not gon na sit on my couch and eat my food and get in my business and then be shy . nate : all right . you want a story ? ana : i do . devon : yeah . nate : all right , fine . so , you know my dad passed when i was young . devon : mm - hmm . nate : and , uh , neil 's brother malcolm , he married my mom . ana : right , right , which is why we 're cousins , basically . nate : right . malcolm , he was always cool . he was smart , he was stylish , he was handsome . you know , everybody wanted to be around him , wanted to be him , and , well , when i was young ... it was bad . it was like i was never going to measure up to him . i mean , good grades , yes , fine , but , i mean , look at the man . he 's just -- flying all over the world , taking pictures of whatever , whoever ... ana : but you 're a doctor . nate : yes , now , but back then , i was a nerd , and , uh ... and malcolm clued in . he saw that i was having a hard time not being more like him , and he told me , he said , `` being smart is cool , be creating , giving a damn , trying hard , working your butt off -- that is as cool as it gets . `` he made feel good about being me , being who i was , and it was the best gift anyone ever gave me . billy : all right , all right . good job . that snow fort is solid , so now we just got to get the couch and tv out there in the snow club . what do you say ? katie : no ! johnny : yeah ! billy : no ? party pooper . that 's a better idea . mom , can you , uh , handle those , please ? victoria : really ? we 're freezing snowballs ? billy : we have to protect the fort from invading snowmen , right ? katie : yes ! victoria : i 'm gon na go make some hot chocolate , and , yes , i will either put these in the freezer or i will melt them in the sink -- one or the other . billy : you do what you got to do because now we are on car duty ! johnny : best christmas ever ! billy : see ? victoria : yeah . victor : i wanted to spoil you , my baby . show you the world only i could give you . i have n't said that i 've changed my mind about everything . nikki : well , then , why are you doing this ? victor : because i think i want to show you off , and i want to make you happy . so , you see , basically , i 'm still the same selfish scrooge i 've always been . nikki : oh , no . do n't ever say that . you 're wonderful . victor : merry christmas to you , for many years to come . nikki : merry christmas , victor . this is the happiest one of my life . ana : i 'll be right back . nate : all right . devon : has it been the best christmas since carolyn passed ? nate : yeah , i 've had -- i 've had time to get used to the way things are and , you know , i ca n't tell you it 's good or painless , but it is better than what it was , you know ? i know you 're not there . devon : i 'm doing better , getting through it . this is -- it 's tough because for such a long time , hilary was the biggest part of my life . and even when we were apart , every thought i had was tied to her in some way . and now i 'm just trying to figure out what to do with all the free space in my mind , that energy , you know ? nate : especially when getting out of bed is asking a lot , you know ? devon : at first , i felt weird going to therapy and paying somebody to give me advice , but it 's been good . it 's giving me a lot of tools to help with those panic attacks . i 'm not feeling like my heart 's about to jump out of my chest . have you ever had one of those ? nate : i 've seen a few before . devon : it is christmas , and we do n't have to pretend that it 's not . is it how i imagined it ? not exactly . but here i am , sitting on the couch with the guy from across the hall . nate : [ chuckles ] i 'm honored . thank you . devon : i remember last christmas , hilary was getting ready for her show , and this package shows up with this beautiful , beautiful elegant designer dress . nate : from you ? devon : no , it was from her . she bought it for herself . she , um ... she knew that she deserved it . if someone was n't gon na get her something , she was n't gon na wait for , you know , for them . she was gon na do it herself . she was n't gon na ask questions . she was just always in constant motion , always out there trying to make something happen . a woman like that can really change the world , man . nate : yeah . carolyn was the same way . the same way . more low - key , but self- assured . i remember the first time i laid eyes on her . it was at a lecture hall . the head of the department was speaking , and he had posited some assessments , and just presented them as facts , not up for debate . carolyn just politely raised her hand , and , uh , just took it all apart . devon : yeah ? nate : yeah . no attitude . no ego . just wanted to get it right , move on , that 's it . devon : she had you after that , did n't she ? you were done . nate : man , i said , if she could do that to him ... devon : yeah . nate : yeah . i was toast . devon : how long did it take you to ask her out ? nate : two whole weeks . devon : two weeks ? nate : two weeks . devon : damn , man ! that 's kind of sad . nate : a little bit , man . i know , right ? yeah . yeah . billy : man , they are out ! victoria : did you notice johnny ? billy : notice that his legs are two feet longer than they were last week ? victoria : [ sighs ] no , that he twitches once right before he goes to sleep . billy : what ? victoria : you do that . billy : i do not . victoria : yes , you do . how do you not know that you do that ? billy : probably because i 'm sleeping , if i do that . victoria : it was a good day . [ giggles ] billy : [ chuckles ] it turns out , we do n't suck at this `` parenting `` thing . victoria : no , we don't . our kids are happy and they 're healthy , and i 'm grateful . i 'm proud of us . billy : well , i 'm trying . all the things that i put you through , and i came off the rails not just this last time , but with dee dee and the times in between that i 've probably blocked out . victoria : nobody loved christmas more than delia . billy : mm . that best christmas ever , when she thought that her mom was getting married . victoria : but nope ! it was her dad instead . billy : yeah . she deserved christmas . the best christmas . that was the year that she beat cancer . victoria : with your help . billy : that little girl faced down leukemia , and then , in the end , it 's not the thing that took her away from us . she loved this house . she loved the family that we made for her , and she really liked cookies , when we did n't end up burning them . victoria : do n't even say it . merry christmas to you , too . billy : the tea parties and pinkerton pony . the girl was always down for a good time , was n't she ? victoria : you know that 's you , do n't you ? billy : what ? victoria : you play the pessimist . that 's your thing . but i think that you believe that happiness will come , and that something wonderful and new will be there for you to enjoy . billy : i 'm a screw - up , vick . dee dee knew that . her last christmas , i told her that there was gon na be toys and candy in her stocking and that there was gon na be coal in mine . she got all worried , all serious , and she held my face in her hands , and she said , `` no , daddy , you can be better than that . i believe that you can do it . i believe that you stop being naughty . `` well , things did n't turn out that way . victoria : you know , our two kids are upstairs . they 're worn out from the `` best christmas ever , `` right ? billy : well , to be fair , they do n't have many to compare it to . victoria : this was a good day . you did that . you did that . reed counts on you because you 're there for him , and you give him something that no one can . you give me something that no one can . billy : what 's that , regret and misery ? victoria : i 'm scared for my mom , i 'm worried for my dad . sometimes the burden of newman gets to be too much . but even before jamaica , you were the one that always reminded me how to really live . so , no , you 're not gon na get coal in your stocking this year . mariah : you all were so great today . thank you so much . and i was watching the thread on the gc buzz website during the breaks , and you all were so sweet and supportive and commenting on each other stories that we did n't get a chance to air . and it just got me thinking , you know ? why ca n't we do that all year long ? share happy emojis and support . and i know i am not the usual messenger for this sort of thing , but ... today , you guys really melted my frozen heart . and since so many of you were asking about my own very limited christmas memories , i thought that i would share something with you guys . this was my sister cassie 's . we were twins , and i never got a chance to meet her , but my mom gave this to me last year . and i know we share the same dna , but this is actually something she touched , you know ? something that she loved . and that makes this the most precious thing in the world to me . and i get it -- i know the holidays can be hard for some people , so that 's why i 'm asking you guys -- please , reach out , you know , to a neighbor who 's alone or to a neighbor if you yourself are lonely . reach out to somebody who ca n't be with the ones that they love because of time or distance or funds , loss ... we did n't do holidays when i was growing up , but i 've come to realize it 's about connecting . we really are in this life together , so reach out now , not later . feel that glow before it fades away . presents and trees and twinkly lights -- those things , they 're awesome . but please do n't forget the heart stuff . the greatest gift in the world is an act of kindness . a smile . a hug . a word . all year long . i 'm serious . so let 's try to spread the love while we can . [ sniffles ] so , from all of us here to you at home , i wish you a happy , healthy holiday .Summarize.[/INST]mariah debuts her new hairstyle in this episode as she is hosting a holiday special with viewers calling in about their favorite memories , and she gives credit to the toy drive in memory of hillary . mariah gets emotional as she shares listeners special memories . she narrates throughout the show about special memories ending with her wishes that happiness and support could last all year long . at devon 's ana and nate try to occupy devon with food and a movie , realizing he is thinking this would have been his first christmas with hillary as his wife . devon admits to them that he is sad about hillary but grateful for them and the second chance at a family that he has . he shares memories of hillary with them . devon looks at a christmas card hillary had once given him . devon and nate share a moment where they commiserate on their lost loves . at victoria 's house katie and johnny are opening gifts as victoria and billy look on . victoria gets a work text and immediately becomes engrossed in work to which billy tells her she is not working on christmas and that they are going for a walk and the skating and hot chocolate . later the two remember delia and how much she loved christmas and how she beat cancer and that it was n't cancer that killed her .</s> | 1,788 |

[ scene_break ] thorne : where 's mother ? that 's a good question . eric : actually , it is a pretty good question . things have been different for your mother lately . things have changed for her . thorne : yeah , it 's like she 's living again . ridge : letting go of what does n't really matter .

( sniffles ) eric : i 'm going to her . that 's where i 'll be . ridge : she 's having surgery already ? taylor : time is of the essence , ridge . thorne : you said stage four . what does that mean ? felicia : it spread ? taylor : yes . to her brain . they 're going to , um , do the surgery today to remove the primary tumor from her lungs . and then the doctors will discuss with us what options there are for her brain . thorne : how much time are we talking ? taylor : i do n't want us thinking like that , thorne . pam : we have to be realistic , taylor . taylor : no , but if she gets through the surgery , and it 's successful , and she responds to treatment , then she could be with us for a very long time . i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to lie about this . pam : i know . taylor : this is very serious . but we have to be strong for her . we have to be there for her . she needs us . felicia : ( sobs ) ( sniffles ) taylor : i 'm just so ... i 'm so sorry . [ scene_break ] brooke : do you think stephanie 's making the wrong choice ? dr. lewis : dr. rabin would normally treat the brain tumor first . but there 's something to be said when a patient feels so strongly . brooke : is it risky ? dr. lewis : surgery is always risky . but she has cancer . there 's only so many choices she could make . you got to have faith . now we are gon na remove the lower lobe , and we 're gon na get that tumor out of her body like she 's asking . brooke : and then ? dr. lewis : then we move forward in treating the brain one day at a time , one step at a time . brooke : oh , it just sounds so impossible . there 's just too much . dr. lewis : she 's gon na need a lot of help , a lot of love , and support . brooke : she 'll have it . [ scene_break ] stephanie : you must think i 'm crazy ... wanting to just give up that way and die . dayzee : ( chuckles ) well , i do n't think that that lady you pretend to hate would have let you . stephanie : i suppose you 're right . you know , it 's kind of hard to make somebody your age understand something about life and death . i 've had a great life . i guess i just did n't think there was very much left for me to do , so i was okay . i was ready to let go . but i ... i 'm looking at things differently now thanks to you . dayzee : i did n't do anything . stephanie : sure you did . you told me to get a new set of glasses , see things for what they really are . dayzee ? when i come to , and i am gon na survive the surgery ... i 'm gon na try and make difference in people 's lives -- yours , that beautiful little baby . i 'm gon na try really to help people that need help for whatever time i have left . thank you .

[ dramatic music ] shawn : wow . did you see that one coming ? belle : no . and i would n't . you 're the one she confides in . i 'm lucky if i get a `` hello `` most days . shawn : well , it seems to me like i 'm the one that got it with both barrels . the nerve of wanting to write down when she goes to college . belle : i just keep thinking about my sweet little girl . i miss her . shawn : i know . me too . i think all this rebellion is because we split up . now that we 're not split up , i think that -- think the healing will start . right ? belle : right . shawn : all right , so now what i think is the most important thing that we do is we come up with a plan together so that we know that we 're on the same page . my plan -- my plan would be to cuff her up and put her in solitary until the day comes and we need to drop her off at the dorm . it 's a good plan . belle : well , i -- i know you 're joking , but ... shawn : mm - hmm . belle : i actually think we need to be careful here . i mean , if we do force her against her will , it could just make things worse . shawn : yeah , well , you ca n't let her call the shots here . belle : no , but think about it . i mean , if we do call the shots and we -- and we make her go against her will , what happens ? right ? we drive her up there , we unpack her boxes , and meet her roommate , a tearful good - bye , we hug , night , sleep all day , and she 'll be flunked out by thanksgiving . and then what chance do we have of getting her into a good school ? shawn : i do n't understand why you 're making a case for her right now . i mean , if she senses weakness in us , belle -- belle : do n't call me weak . shawn : i did n't . belle : really ? you should listen to yourself . listen , if you want to bully your way through this , it will backfire with her and with me . shawn : are you trying to pick fight with me right now ? belle : no . shawn : oh , because , i mean , it really seems like it . and because last week when claire wanted to go to chicago with her girlfriends , i mean , you put your foot down pretty much the exact same way that i 'm putting my foot down , but when i do it it 's wrong . it 's wrong and i 'm -- it 's called bullying , right ? i mean , it seems like you 're trying to go out of your way to disagree with me . [ dramatic music ] philip : you want to write songs for chloe ? claire : yep , they 're already written . chloe : really ? claire : yeah . you know , not just songs . you know , i 'm always jotting down little musical phrases , like , an idea for a lyric , so i could turn them into something just for chloe . okay , look , i have n't heard you sing in a very long time , but you have a beautiful voice , and i know that i could give you just the right song . chloe : thank you , claire . philip : claire , look , i 'm sorry , but you need to stay focused on training your voice . we 'll stay focused on getting material from established songwriters for chloe , people who have chops , know how to write a hook . claire : well , i -- i write great hooks . just listen , okay ? philip : claire , this is n't personal , but we need names to get chloe noticed . claire : okay , then how about i just work for chloe ? like , as an assistant while i 'm training my voice , you know ? i can do all the jobs that nobody else wants to do . chloe : you know , philip , it would be nice to have someone we can count on once we start recording , but how do your parents feel about this ? claire : great . they would be behind it 100 % . justin : well , look who 's back from the dead . deimos : sure there are quite a few people around here that wish i had stayed that way . justin : thanks for seeing me . i hear you 've been through a lot , so you can be forgiven for not remembering , but before you disappeared , you sent me a request . deimos : hm . seems like a lifetime ago . justin : i wanted you to know that i handled it before i heard about your accident . deimos : did you ? justin : my point is ... deimos : you want me to know that you can be trusted . justin : what are your thoughts ? deimos : tell me , did you speak to victor today ? i 'm just curious if he told you that i went to see him asking for a truce . justin : that 's the first time i 've heard about that . but i 'm not surprised . he has a lot on his mind right now . deimos : plotting his revenge against me , no doubt . justin : actually , it has nothing to do with you ; his great - grandson was kidnapped . deimos : tate ? brady 's son ? justin : yeah , that 's right . deimos : he 's just a baby . my god , his parents must be ... justin : you sound like you really care . deimos : of course i care . he 's a baby . he must be terrified . he needs his mother . anyone that would do that to a child deserves to burn in hell . am not trying to pick a fight with you . i 'm not trying to purposefully disagree with you , okay ? claire just threw me for a loop . i 'm not at my best right now . i 'm sorry . shawn : well , she did kind of blow both of us out of the water . belle : so what do we do ? shawn : well , claire is convinced that she does n't need to go to college . but we know that she 's not ready to become a professional singer quite yet . i mean , come on , that could be a pretty brutal life . belle : mm - hmm . and of course , she thinks she can handle it . shawn : yeah , and we both know that she is not as tough as she thinks she is . so i agree with you . belle : really ? shawn : mm - hmm . but we ca n't make her feel like we 're trying -- we 're forcing her to go to college . we have to -- i think that we have to get her to believe that it 's her idea . belle : agreed . shawn : how the hell do we do that ? belle : [ chuckles ] i have no idea . philip : you just made someone very happy . chloe : well , i 'm happy to help . philip : let 's see how you feel about it in a couple of months . chloe : well , as long as her parents do n't have a problem with it . i mean , i do n't want to stir up any trouble with that family . philip : yeah , we would n't want that to happen , would we ? theo : so she 's singing your songs ? claire : yep . yeah , she just , like , does n't know it yet . theo : [ chuckles ] i do n't really understand . claire : well , i got chloe and philip to give me a job helping out . so then , when the time is right , i can just make sure that they hear some of my stuff . you know , it 's all about being in the right place at the right time . theo : mm - hmm . yeah . all right , well , what about philip 's promise to give you a deal ? claire : i mean , he claims that it 'll happen when he thinks i 'm ready . for now i will work on impressing chloe . theo : i mean -- hey . that 's great , claire . i 'm really happy for you . claire : thank you , theo . theo : for what ? i did n't get you the job . claire : no , but , you know , if it were n't for you , i would have never gone over and talked to them . you gave me a little push i needed . [ chuckles ] theo : really ? claire : really . theo : well , why do n't you call ciara and tell her what happened ? claire : we 're kind of not talking . theo : so you guys are still mad at each other ? claire : no . i mean , yeah . well , i do n't know . it 's kind of weird . theo : well , is she all right ? claire : yeah , yeah . i just know that she 's out of your uncle 's house and she moved back in with her mom . theo : so is she okay ? claire : yeah , yeah , like i told you , i think she kind of just got in over her head with chad . you know , i think she really liked him and now she 's realizing that he 's never gon na stop loving abigail . theo : i , uh ... i did n't know it was that serious . claire : it 's not . it 's not . she just needs some time to get over it . please do n't tell her i told you , okay ? i was n't supposed to talk about it . theo : yeah , no . um , yeah . okay , well , i got to go . claire : really ? i mean , i thought we could , like , hang out . celebrate my new job . theo : yeah , no , i really do got to go . congratulations . i really -- i hope , you know , it works out great for you . deimos : how long has tate been gone ? i need to speak with someone . i 'll get back to you . justin : okay . deimos : i tried calling you earlier . nicole : i know . i was in the middle of something . deimos : right . i need to talk with you . i need to find out what your thinking is about taking over basic black . nicole : my thinking has n't changed . i have a job . i 'm gon na help dario re- imagine this place . deimos : really ? taking over an established business . helping a beach bum pick out placemats . really , is that -- that a tough choice ? nicole : you do n't have to be snide . deimos : and you do n't have to play hard to get . just tell me what you want . all right ? what can i give you to take the job ? give me a figure . [ dramatic music ] nicole : you do n't get it . deimos : what ? nicole : this is n't about money . this is about trust . and i 'm not sure you really are the changed man you claim to be . deimos : okay , nicole , i understand it 's gon na take some time for me to earn your trust , so why do n't we do this : why do n't we keep the professional side of our relationship separate from the personal side ? what do you think ? nicole : well , i have an idea . why do n't we simply not have a business relationship ? or a personal relationship , or any kind of relationship at all . now if you 'll excuse me , i have to help dario pick out some placemats . deimos : nicole . i just found out about tate . do me a favor , will you ? if you see victor , ask him if there 's anything i can do to help . nicole : i doubt there is . dario : what did deimos want ? nicole : oh , to accept him for the sincere guy that he is . dario : did you buy it ? nicole : of course not . everything 's an act with that guy . [ knocking on door ] theo : ciara , are you home ? ciara : hey , theo . theo : hey . sorry if this is a bad time . how 's your mom ? ciara : she 's in the hospital . she should be home soon . theo : so is that why you moved back here ? ciara : yeah , that 's why . theo : look , i know i just came over without calling , and , i mean , you 've probably got a lot to deal with , so if you want to , i 'll -- i 'll just leave . ciara : yeah , maybe you should . theo : right . ciara : theo , no . wait . claire : so you got all my information ? chloe : right here . claire : okay , call me anytime about anything . chloe : will do . claire : philip , thank you very much . philip : thank chloe . ever seen `` all about eve `` ? chloe : stop it , she 's nice . belle : hey . you should n't have run off like that . we were n't done talking . claire : talking is n't gon na change anything . you know , my mind is made up . things are already set . shawn : wait , set ? belle : what were you doing talking to philip and chloe here ? claire : well , i just got a job . belle : what ? claire : yeah , yeah , chloe 's making a record for philip , and i 'm gon na be her personal assistant . you know , it 's this great chance to get them to hear my music . shawn : so you got a job working for chloe and philip now ? claire : just chloe for now . shawn : and that -- what ? that was her idea ? right out of the blue she just asked you to be her personal assistant ? claire : nope , i asked her . shawn : and you did n't think about running it past us first ? i mean , come on , belle , back me up here . belle : i have to go . shawn : wait , what ? belle : you know , i -- i 'm gon na go talk to philip and find out exactly what 's going on here . claire : hey , mom , do n't ruin this for me . shawn : i think the three of us need to talk about this here . belle : no , i think you need to stay here and talk to her and i 'll meet up with you . shawn , we 're on the same page about this . believe me . shawn : belle , hey . justin : before i could get very far , he asked if you told me that he wanted a truce with you . victor : what 'd you say ? justin : that you had n't told me anything . victor : good . did you get any idea at all what he was up to ? justin : no . victor : well , you got to stick close with him . justin : victor , i 'm not sure he is up to anything . victor : oh , good god . do n't tell me you believed him . justin : i 'm just telling you that he had no interest in me working with him . victor : well , that makes sense . if he 's responsible for tate 's kidnapping , he 'd want to keep you at arm 's length . justin : well , that 's another thing . i 'm not sure he had anything to do with the kidnapping . i mean , i told him , and he had no idea . victor : you mean he pretended he had no idea . justin : and he seemed really upset about it . something is different about him . i mean , i ca n't put my finger on it , but i think he 's ... changed . maggie : who 's changed ? deimos : dr. hochman . finally we meet . thank you for coming all this way from chicago . hochman : actually , i have some other business in salem . i thought maybe in person i could make clear what i 've already tried to explain to you in my emails and phone calls . i 'm retired . i no longer perform surgery . deimos : what can i say ? i just ca n't accept the fact that a man with your talent can just give it all up , and this patient i 've been telling you about , she has a one - of - a - kind injury , the kind , from what i understand , you and you alone are best equipped to cure . hochman : i know you are talking about victor kiriakis ' wife . deimos : mm - hmm . hochman : he has already offered me a king 's ransom to operate on her . i 'll tell you what i told him : there is n't enough money to get me to do it . deimos : did i say anything about using money to convince you , doctor ? ciara : if you want to . [ light instrumental music ] theo : look , i should n't have told you how i felt , okay ?

[ knocking on door ] justin : i 'll get it . victor : maybe kidnapped tate ? justin : i 'm telling you , deimos had nothing to do with it . victor : yeah , well , if that 's him , punch him in the jaw . maggie : victor . justin : oh , my god . maggie : what ? justin : sonny !

[ scene_break ] jill : victoria seems very happy to be with her father . jack : yeah , ai n't that a shame ? she was this close to coming to work with us . old moneybags lured her over to the dark side . jill : has it ever occurred to you that victoria might have planned this whole thing ? victoria : dad ? victor : yes ? victoria : i appreciate you taking me around today . victor : it 's been awhile since you 've been at newman . i just wanted to make sure that everyone knows who 's in charge . victoria : ( sighs ) i can hardly believe i 'm actually going to be running the show . victor : sweetheart , first of all , let me tell you how happy i am that you and i are sitting here having a meal together . but i want you to rest assured i will not throw you in the deep end . victoria : what do you mean by that ? victor : i will nurture you and guide you . i do n't want you to start this job feeling insecure in any way . okay ? victoria : i just want you to know , it means so much to me -- your confidence in my ability . victor : sweetheart , i 've never doubted your ability one moment . victoria : but i still think that nick should 've been consulted about this whole thing . victor : he will soon realize this is only temporary . and i bet you when he comes back , he 'll be grateful that you took over for him when he was gone . victoria : ( sighs ) i hope so . victor : i know so . so what were your impressions today ? victoria : well , the company certainly has n't slowed down while i 've been away . in fact , i was amazed by the international marketing effort . jack : i thank you , gina . gina : you 're welcome . jack : okay , you mind telling me what that last little crack was about ? jill : it 's just that you 're always so quick to blame victor . but what if this was victoria 's plan all along ? jack : victoria 's plan for what ? jill : accept a job at jabot to entice her father to give her the top spot over there while nicholas is going through this rough patch . jack : so you think victoria 's been playing us ? jill : yes , i do , jack , and i think you 're naive if you think otherwise . jack : you seem awfully sure of yourself . jill : because victoria newman is a chip off the old block . and if she has to use devious tactics , she wo n't bat an eye any more than her father would . jack : i suppose i have to hand you that much . jill : and i hate to bring this up , but it is a lot more prestigious to work under victor newman than under you . jack : prestigious ? she 's working under victor newman 's thumb . if you think he 's gon na let her control that company , you 're the one that 's naive here . [ scene_break ] phyllis : now listen , you 're not going anywhere until you tell me what you plan to do with my son . nick : i have n't thought that far ahead . phyllis : think about it . because if you plan to take the law into your own hands and beat my son to a pulp , think again . neil : phyllis has got a point , nick . what are you gon na do when lily and daniel show up at brendan 's ? nick : when he does , he 'll get a police escort back to genoa city and face the charges . phyllis : all right , i understand that . nick : do you , phyllis ? because this is the end for your son . there 's no more hiding . and you 're with me , right ? you want this to end as much as i do ? neil : yes , of course i do . nick : all right . then let 's go to brendan 's . you wan na come with us ? phyllis : yeah , i 'm coming . [ scene_break ] daniel : it 's cassie . i ca n't get her out of my mind . lily : look , i know it 's hard . daniel : it 's impossible . do you realize that everywhere i look , i see that girl 's face only i know it 's not her 'cause she 's gone ? it 's because of me that poor kid 's dead . lily : no , daniel , you have got to stop torturing yourself . daniel : how ? i am in the middle of a nightmare that i know i 'm never gon na get out of . lily : look , i understand what you 're going through . daniel : no , you know what ? you do n't understand what i 'm going through . you know why ? because you would never do anything as stupid as what i did . you would never hurt another person . lily : neither would you , not on purpose . daniel : well , the fact is , i killed cassie and now it 's gon na haunt me for the rest of my life . lily : ( sighs ) have you remembered any more about the accident ? i mean ... daniel : ( sighs ) i do n't know . you know , i ... i - i see these images , but ... they 're all fuzzy and ... i hear cassie 's voice , but it 's just ... i do n't know , it 's just not clear . lily : so do you think those are real memories or just your -- daniel : i do n't know . could just be my mind playing tricks on me . only thing i know is i ca n't shake 'em . lily : look , i know that you are overwhelmed with guilt , because i feel guilty , too . daniel : you have nothing to feel guilty about . lily : no , you 're wrong . i have plenty .

[ scene_break ] kevin : there is no way that anyone in the abbott family would go anywhere near terrible tom . michael : you would think so , would n't you ? kevin : yeah , jack and ashley are way too classy . tom is nothing but a piece of trash . he did n't even finish high school . they -- they would treat him like he was a bad smell . michael : do n't underestimate the man , kevin . he knows how to turn the charm on when he has to . that 's what makes him so dangerous . kevin : who knows how long he 's been stalking mom . michael : he 's obviously gone to great lengths to conceal himself , which tells me he 's just waiting for the right time to strike . kevin : oh , man , it is so unfair . you know , after it all hit the fan about us being her sons , mr. abbott has finally forgiven her . they finally have a shot at a normal , happy life . michael : well , he could definitely screw that up . kevin : do you think he 's gon na hit her up for money ? michael : it 's a powerful motivator . kevin : thank god mom divorced that sick bastard . you know , i think he 's bluffing . michael : what ? kevin : tom . i 'll bet he 's bluffing . i refuse to believe that he has anything so awful on mom that it would ruin her marriage . michael : i wish i could be sure , but the way tom talked ... michael : nothing ! why is n't it showing up ? ! kevin : what ? what are you looking for ? [ scene_break ] malcolm : you know i care about lily , and i 'm worried sick about her . dru : we are all worried about lily . malcolm : dru , i do n't sleep at night . all i do is wonder where she is and whether or not she 's safe . so , please , let me help you . dru : what can you do that we 're not doing already ? tell me . malcolm : i do n't really know . but for god sake 's , do n't shut me out . at least tell me what 's going on . dru : i ca n't even believe i 'm gon na tell you this , but neil got a tip where they might be headed , okay ? malcolm : okay , okay , and so what ? he 's following this lead ? dru : along with that nitwit phyllis and nick , yeah . malcolm : the three of them are together ? dru : right , and so far they have n't heard anything from them . malcolm : okay , so what are they doing , just waitin ' around praying they 'll show up ? dru : what choice do they have ? i believe that lily 's father is the only one that can get through to her . malcolm : drucilla , neil may be her father , but she trusts me . you know , i might be the one person who can convince her to stop running and come home . [ scene_break ] ( knock on door ) man : yeah , come in . phyllis : hi , brendan ? hi . brendan : yeah , that 's me . okay , wait a second , you ca n't be phyllis . phyllis : yeah , i am . brendan : wow . danny 's description of you was way off . i mean , you 're a knockout . phyllis : oh , thank you , thank you , um ... listen , i want you to meet my friends -- neil winters and nicholas newman . neil : hey , how you doing ? brendan : i did n't realize you were bringing bodyguards . phyllis : well ... neil : have you gotten any more messages from daniel ? brendan : i do n't know , man . as you can see , i just got in from the road . i mean , i have n't even had a chance to hit my beer , let alone check my voice mail , man . nick : but he did say he was headed here when he called ? brendan : yeah , yeah . that 's what i told danny . neil : so where are they ? brendan : i do n't know . beats me , man . look , nobody was here waiting for me when i got home . nick : you would n't be hiding them , would you ? brendan : oh , yeah , yeah , they 're under the couch . now why would i do that ? nick : because phyllis is a friend of yours ? brendan : you know what ? you 're freaking me out 'cause i just met her , what , ten seconds ago ? nick : where the hell are they ? brendan : hey , hey , yo , yo , yo , easy on the negativity , man . look , that 's not gon na solve your problems , right ? phyllis : look , brendan , you know what ? we can go easy on him . he just lost his daughter in a car accident . brendan : sorry , man . [ scene_break ] daniel : why would you feel guilty about cassie 's death ? lily : because i ditched you at that party that night . i was mad at you for ignoring me . daniel : so ? lily : so i told her to look after you . i walked away and left a 14-year - old girl to look after a guy who was completely out of it . daniel : yeah , but you did n't know what was gon na happen . lily : it does n't matter ! it 's my fault that cassie got in the car with you while you had been drinking . daniel : i do n't know how you can blame yourself for that . lily : because ... ( sighs ) because maybe if i had stayed , i would 've been able to save an innocent girl 's life . so ca n't you understand why i am suffering , too ? daniel : well , you 're not gon na suffer anymore . lily : what 's that supposed to mean ? daniel : this is over . this ends for you right now .

( whispers ) gina ? jack : will you do me a favor ? victor : thank you . victoria : thank you . uh - oh . do n't look now , but your favorite person is here . victor : you can only mean jack `` the snake `` abbott . victoria : oh . do n't be like that . you know , once jack , uh , got over the shock that i was n't going to be working for him , he 's hardly harassed me at all . victor : sweetheart , let me warn you . when that man pretends to be magnanimous , that means he 's trying to go in for the kill . victoria : come on . are n't you being a little melodramatic ? victor : not in the least . where i 'm concerned , he 's relentless . victoria : yes , but ... jack has jabot now . that 's all he 's ever really wanted . victor : i want you to remember something -- seriously remember something -- the turf war between jack abbott and victor newman will never end . but i promise you , you will never be one of its spoils . victoria : oh . victor : what is this ? victoria : what 's -- gina : compliments from jack on your promotion . jack : well , greetings , newmans ! mind if i join you for a toast ?

noah : uh , weirdly , none . yeah , she just has pictures of her favorite band . yeah , no personal data . nick : that 's great . noah : hey . dad . you have n't stopped checking your phone since you walked in here . what 's so interesting ? chelsea : okay , so no on all these accessories ? chloe : i mean , i think the dress is just perfect . it is so me . oh , i have great news . my mom agreed to letting us do the wedding at katherine 's house . chelsea : chloe , that 's wonderful . chloe : yeah , there 's really no reason for us to wait to getting hitched , so how quickly do you think you can finish that ? chelsea : right away . plus i already finished my maid of honor dress ! chloe : [ gasps ] amazing . chelsea : [ laughs ] chloe : can i help you with anything ? chelsea : no . no , i 've got it all covered . but you need to compare the pricing for the fall line , all of that fabric . chloe : oh , yeah . on it . chelsea : great . chloe : hey . i do n't know if i 've told you lately , but i really like working with you . chelsea : me , too . [ computer keys clacking ] chelsea : which is why , um ... i 'm really glad that we cleared the air about all that -- that stuff , you know , with the tracking device . chloe : yeah , me , too . chelsea : 'cause obviously it was like a little -- it 's a little crazy that we found it in , you know , in -- in connor 's toy . chloe : well , like i said , i just wanted to tip you off if the cops were onto you and adam . best friends do n't let best friends end up in jail . chelsea : i 'll have to keep that in mind . but i just , you know , i want you to know that you never , ever have to keep any secrets from me , chloe . ever . chloe : i planned on telling you about it . it 's just that after the explosion , everything was so crazy , and i forgot about the whole tracker thing . chelsea : yeah , we 've been through so much together , you know . we 've bonded together . we 've -- we 've fought together . but i feel like at the end , you know , it just made us stronger . i feel like we 're closer than ever . chloe : you 're the best friend i 've ever had . chelsea : ditto . so , if there 's -- if there 's anything about that night that you have n't told me , anything at all , you can tell me now . chloe : well , there 's not . i told you everything . chelsea : nick and i traced your cell phone , chloe . chloe : you what ? chelsea : you were half a mile away from the cabin an hour before the explosion . so why did n't you tell me that ? neil : we 're planning on a fairly diverse range of projects . but devon and i have no plans to acquire anything in the cosmetics industry . for now . jack : but in the future ? neil : ah , who knows ? i like the idea of moses , lily 's twins , devon 's future kids growing up knowing that they can join the family business when they finish school , just like you and ashley . jack : yeah , that 's a special bond that comes from building a family business together . neil : yeah . do n't you worry . i will not -- i repeat , not -- abandon the foundation . jack : never doubted that for a minute . hey , i wish you all the luck in the world . neil : same to you , my friend . same to you . jack : take care . neil : yeah . you , too . talk to you soon . abby : plus dad hired scott grainger to write his biography . ashley : lauren 's son , the journalist ? wait , you mean victor 's actually gon na let him tell his story , his whole story ? abby : i know . it 's hard to buy that dad 's going to be transparent . ashley : it 's mind - blowing . when `` ruthless `` was published , your father and i did not come off in the best way . abby : yeah , and scott 's gon na want to interview dad 's kids . ashley : what 's wrong with that ? you 're not gon na say anything to embarrass him . abby : not intentionally , but i did n't live with dad growing up . and then nick and victoria and i sued him . ashley : and you won . you were justified . abby : i do n't want it to come off like i do n't love dad , because i do . ashley : you know what i think you should do ? i think you should call scott and ask to be interviewed right away . abby : now ? like right now ? ashley : mm - hmm . abby : why ? ashley : it 's gon na accomplish two things . first , you can tell scott how much you admire your father , and then you wo n't have to worry about that anymore . and then you can tell your father what you said . abby : and then dad will be impressed and then ... ashley : he 'll be so pleased that he 'll be more willing to let you move forward with your ideas without letting victoria shut you down . noah : always going on about me and my friends , how we 're totally hooked on our phones . nick : yeah , i 'm waiting on something . noah : chelsea ? i like her , dad . she 's making you happy . it 's -- it 's cool . nick : she does make me happy . noah : good . so , is there a problem ? nick : there 's been some tension lately , but , uh , you know , i 'm dealing with it . noah : all right . well , i 'd hate to see whatever 's causing tension ruin things between you two . nick : [ sighs ] so would i . chelsea : where are you going ? chloe : you do n't trust me . you and nick traced my cell phone ? chelsea : yeah . because of that tracker . chloe : i apologized for putting that tracker into connor 's toy , and you said that there was nothing to forgive . so that was a lie . chelsea : no , but i still -- chloe : but nick did n't believe me , so your new boyfriend convinced you that i was lying . chelsea : i trust you , chloe . but nick said that those phone records could confirm where you were that night . i went along with it because it could prove that you were telling the truth . you were at home . chloe : but instead some lowlife underpaid drone told you that i was near the cabin . chelsea : yes , but -- chloe : not to mention that nick probably threw his name around to get that information . or did he use money ? chelsea : no . chloe : how much money did he pay this for the so - called truth ? chelsea : he did not pay him . chloe : but he did pressure the guy . chelsea : he did n't tell the guy where he wanted it to ping . it just pinged ! chloe : so you 're gon na take whatever this phone guy says as gospel because they never make mistakes on anything , right ? i was at the penthouse , chelsea . kevin was there . daniel came by . or do you not believe kevin and daniel ? or do you think that we were all in this together ? chelsea : listen , i was on your side . chloe : until nick convinced you not to be . i could have lost you and connor in that explosion . do you know how terrified i was ? but that does n't matter . [ scoffs ] none of that matters because you just believe nick 's theory about me being some crazed killer ! you know what ? i do n't -- i do n't blame you one bit . chloe : you had every reason to think that i had something to do with adam 's death because , i mean , i tried to run him over . i tried to kill him the same way that he killed delia , and ... i paid a huge price for that . chelsea : yeah , you did . but you worked really hard to get well and put your life back together . i know that . chloe : it just does n't feel like it , you know , because you 're doubting me and you 're accusing me . chelsea : no , i just wanted to hear the whole story ! not because i do n't believe you , but because i do . i believe you , chloe , and i am so grateful to you , the way you stepped up for me after adam died . i was literally just telling nick that . chloe : so nick does n't trust me . he thinks that i killed adam . chelsea : no . we both believe the police report , that the explosion was just a horrible , horrible accident . and i 'm grateful that you tried to protect me and -- and make sure i did n't get in any trouble . chloe : i was really just trying to protect my best friend , and i 'm so sorry that this whole stupid tracker thing has created questions about me in your mind . chelsea : i love you for trying to protect me . chloe : i love you , too . chelsea : [ sighs ] do you forgive me ? chloe : always . chelsea : all right , go . go on . get out of here . chloe : we have work on the fall collection . chelsea : oh , the fall collection can wait . you 've got a wedding to plan . chloe : [ sighs ] chelsea : go . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] both : you lied to me ! ashley : me ? ! jack : yes . you went to neil , offered him a job ? i do n't need a handler , ash ! ashley : oh , i think you do need a handler , 'cause i found out the real reason why you backed out of that hockey deal , jack . jack : i told you why i backed out -- ashley : oh , i know . you saw the errors of your ways . no ! victoria has something on you , and she made you back off . jack : i do n't know who told you what -- ashley : look , what does she have on you ? jack : it 's nothing for you to worry about . ashley : oh , really ? you know what ? where you 're concerned , there 's always something to worry about . i just hope that whatever victoria has on you , it 's not gon na come back and bite us in the butt . lily : i 'm actually having a great time at brash & sassy . i 'm not really looking to leave . jordan : even if an amazing opportunity comes up ? lily : well , what could be better than this ? you know , i get to work with my husband , and my schedule 's flexible enough to where i can make most of my kids ' school events and help them with their homework , have family game nights . and that 's what 's real to me , not the glamour of wearing couture or being in a magazine . even though i do enjoy that . i do , but i do n't know . my -- my family is what grounds me . jordan : you and cane do marriage remarkably well . lily : yeah , we try . cane is a really great husband . jordan : no fights ? no throwing at all ? lily : [ laughs ] i mean , look , we have our issues . what couple does n't ? juliet : you do have good news for me , do n't you ? i knew it ! i knew it as soon as you texted me to meet you . i got the job , did n't i ? and if you think the salary 's gon na be a problem , it wo n't because -- oh , i probably should n't be telling you this , but i actually really do n't care how much i get paid for this job . cane : all right . i know . juliet : and i already have an apartment in tokyo , so , i mean , no relocation lag time . so when does victoria want me to start ? cane : you did n't get the job . i 'm sorry . juliet : i do n't -- i do n't understand . i thought the interview went really well . cane : it did . it went really well , and she 's gon na keep you in mind for other opportunities . and i will recommend you for other jobs . i 'll even call my contact in tokyo . but it 's not gon na happen on this one . and i 'm -- i 'm sorry about that . juliet : you know , thanks -- thanks for your help , but i want to let you know , you do n't have to worry . cane : [ chuckles ] worry about what ? juliet : you know . our secret . abby : sure , that time works . i 'll see you then , scott . victoria : hi . um , i 'm just -- i 'm taking a break . do you have time to sit ? abby : i do n't think so . victoria : oh , come on . abby , you 're not still mad at me because i did n't like your rent - free space for start - ups pitch . abby : i was at first , but it 's not your fault that dad trusts your opinion . victoria : look , do n't be so down on yourself . one of these days , you 're gon na bring a project to dad that he 's absolutely gon na love and it 's gon na make us all a ton of money . abby : that might happen sooner than you think . jordan : working together can be hard on relationships . lily : yeah . look what happened to devon and hilary . although i think it had more to do with all of her manipulation . jordan : how do you and cane make it work ? lily : well , i mean , we do n't always . he was n't exactly thrilled about me going back to modeling . jordan : but he 's okay with it now ? lily : yeah , i think so . i mean , yeah , he -- he closed a really successful deal in tokyo that impressed victoria , so that helped . but bottom line -- we love each other , you know . he knows it makes me happy . and we 've had our issues . we 've worked through them , and we 're stronger for it . cane : all right , i 'll be there soon . thanks . bye . okay . all right , um , i did n't know you and i had a secret . juliet : you do n't have to pretend with me anymore , cane . even though i did n't get the job , i 'm not gon na say anything . cane : okay , i 'm not pretending . i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . i 'm sorry . juliet : wait . you really do n't remember ? cane : no . juliet : [ scoffs ] i just -- i just thought you did n't want to talk about it . cane : it 's not that i do n't want to talk about it . okay , you -- you helped me back to my room , and then you stayed the night . juliet : i did n't just stay the night in your room , cane . we had sex . jack : hold on . hold on . ashley : what ? jack : we do n't have to worry about victoria . but there is someone else we might have to . there 's a reason neil turned down the job here at jabot . he and devon are starting their own company backed by devon 's billions . ashley : so , what ? you think they 'll be in competition with us ? jack : no , not right away , but neil did say he wants it to be a family business . think it through . if cane and lily leave brash & sassy and start working with neil and devon ... ashley : right . they 'll be starting a cosmetics line . jack : exactly . so maybe you should stop fretting about me and start focusing on innovations at jabot . ashley : and just what the hell do you think i 've been doing with my time , jack ? we already have fenmore 's and two spectacular apps in our portfolio . jack : that 's not enough . i 've already started updating the packaging of the men 's line . we need to refresh the product itself . i need new apps , new technology to promote them . ashley : okay , fine . i 'll talk to ravi . jack : no , do more than talk . what ideas do you have in the pipeline ? what are your big ideas ? you keep saying you want a bigger role in this company , so take it . ashley : oh , are you trying to intimidate me now ? because you can forget it . i am more than ready to meet that challenge . just watch me . jack : [ sighs ] chelsea : hi . [ next_on ] abby : honestly , i feel i 'm on the outside . and i 'll never fully be accepted by either side . victoria : you do n't have to feel obligated to give her a role in the company just because she 's your daughter . sharon : paul is your best bet . if you want the truth , that 's the only way . . | the disagreement over nick 's investigation into chloe caused tension between nick and chelsea . chelsea defended her friend . although nick refused to stop looking into the events of that night , he promised to stop discussing it with chelsea . while chloe visited chelsea , nick planted a tracking device on chloe 's car . chelsea told chloe that her phone records showed that she 'd been near the cabin the night of the explosion . chloe swore that she never left the penthouse , and chelsea believed her . noah told nick that he thought tessa was talented , and after some prodding from nick , noah admitted she was cute . nick revealed that he and chelsea were going through a rough patch . chloe drove to a deserted area and threw the tote bag in the dumpster . nick retrieved it and discovered the tranquilizer gun and wrench . chelsea thought about the day she married adam . abby told ashley that she 'd initiated the project at newman , even though victor was n't receptive to it . ashley expressed concern , but abby was confident in her idea . abby revealed that victoria had something on jack . abby was nervous about getting interviewed for victor 's biography , and ashley gave her advice on scoring points with victor . | <s>[INST] nick : beautiful . dress is n't so bad , either . chelsea : it 's for chloe 's wedding dress as a trim or -- or a wrap . nick : chelsea , um -- chelsea : nick , um , it 's really good to see you , but i just -- i do n't really have time to talk right now . nick : uh , good . well , what i have to say wo n't take long . ashley : hey . abby : hi ! both : mwah ! abby : i am starving . what are you hungry for ? ashley : information . i want to know why you 're so excited . abby : so , i took your advice , and i initiated the project i told you about . ashley : already ? abby : mm - hmm . the one i pitched to dad about housing start - up tech companies at newman . ashley : yeah , but he was n't receptive . abby : well , i found an off - site property , and i selected start - ups that show real promise , that way when they 're successful , newman gets a share of the profits . ashley : but , honey , if you 're bankrolling these companies , what happens if they 're not successful ? abby : mom , this is going to work . newman enterprises investing in the future of young entrepreneurs -- it 's a win / win . ashley : it does sound very promising . i 'm sorry your dad does n't share your vision . abby : well , he let victoria talk him out of it . she said the risk was too high . ashley : i thought you factored that in . abby : yeah , it 's all covered . mom , victoria is just jealous . she only torpedoed the idea because it was n't hers . ashley : or maybe she 's looking out for you , honey . abby : or maybe she 's underestimating me like she always does . [ scoffs ] my sister is gon na be blown away when i pull this off . cane : hey . victoria : have you heard ? i 'm interviewing juliet today . cane : yeah , she texted me . i do n't think she 's gon na disappoint you , either . victoria : it 's too bad she does n't have as much experience as the other candidates . cane : [ sighs ] well , uh , at least you 're giving her a chance , the way you gave me one , so ... victoria : well , you were hardly a long shot , cane . cane : well , it meant a lot to me , you know , that you trusted me to negotiate the sato deal after i gave you such a hard time about buying brash & sassy . victoria : you know , before i bought this company , i saw for myself how good you are at your job , so sending you to japan was a no - brainer . you do n't have to prove yourself to me . and as far as i 'm concerned , we do n't have to have this conversation ever again . deal ? cane : hmm . deal . lily : hey , jordan ! hi ! so good to see you . jordan : what 's put that smile on your face ? lily : well , devon is finally cutting himself loose from hilary . jordan : yeah . i heard about that . lily : and the best part is he 's just giving her gc buzz as her settlement . that 's it . so i am very happy that she 's not bankrupting him . and if you had anything to do with that , thank you . jack : how long have you been waiting here ? neil : i 'm guessing that your receptionist is on a break . jack : come on in . come on in . neil : [ chuckles ] jack : you of all people do n't have to stand on ceremony . to what do i owe the pleasure of this visit ? neil : you know , i , uh ... this is sort of an awkward situation . jack : family thing ? neil : ashley offered me a job . jack : i had no idea . neil : yeah , i figured as much . jack : what kind of job ? neil : well , the description was sort of vague . jack : let me guess . she 's worried . she wants you to keep an eye on me , kind of be my babysitter . neil : she did n't say that precisely . jack : what precisely did she say ? neil : well , she said she 's concerned about some of your decision making as of late , like hiring gloria to man the desk out there . jack : [ sighs ] neil : and she 's also bothered by your obsession with wanting to exact revenge on people who have wronged you . jack : like billy . neil : so you and ashley have discussed this . jack : oh , ashley has made her displeasure all too clear . but to go behind my back to offer you a job -- neil : um , i turned it down . i told her that our relationship was way too valuable than to get involved with something that might undermine you . neil : [ laughs ] i appreciate the offer . but , jack , i got a brand - new opportunity , something that i think will be huge in genoa city . ashley : well , honey , from everything you 've told me , i think you 're gon na be able to overcome your father 's doubts about this project . i really do . abby : no , not if victoria keeps interfering . ashley : but why would she ? i mean , was n't it just a coincidence that she was there the day that you pitched this ? abby : i do n't know what 's going on with her . i felt weird telling you this the other day , and now it feels weird not telling you . it 's just so complicated working for newman when the abbotts are my family , too . ashley : wait a second . i mean , are you telling me that victoria was talking to victor about jabot ? abby : more specifically uncle jack . she was bragging to dad about how she pulled some power play over jack after he tried to steal a deal from brash & sassy . do you know anything about that ? ashley : yeah . i know about the hockey league deal . i did n't know anything else . what else did she say ? abby : she used the word -- what was it ? -- `` careless . `` ashley : anything else ? abby : she said that he was reckless and that maybe newman could capitalize on that . ashley : did she give you any indication of what she might be holding over your uncle jack ? abby : no , she did n't get into specifics . i just figured it was something big for uncle jack to cave like that . ashley : [ sighs ] you know , there 's always been this little ruthless streak in victoria . even when she was a teenager , she tried so hard to break up my marriage with victor . abby : well , you , my beautiful , brilliant mother , have turned it around , and now everyone gets along ... mostly . ashley : hmm . still , it seems like victoria is her father 's daughter , does n't it ? victoria : so how was your flight ? juliet : long , but worth it . thank you for giving me this opportunity , victoria . victoria : oh , absolutely . but you should know that cane is a huge supporter of yours . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : oh , i 'm so sorry . i was actually expecting this call . juliet : that 's okay . i 'm early . victoria : it 's just gon na take me a few minutes . juliet : [ sighs ] cane : you 're not too jet lagged for the interview ? juliet : i 'm too nervous to be jet lagged . cane : no , no , you do n't have to be nervous , all right ? she knows you , and she likes you . juliet : but hiring me for an executive position ... look , i actually got here early because i was hoping maybe you could take a quick look at my résumé , maybe give me some guidance . cane : sure , sure . let me see . okay . yeah , it 's great . you speak , uh , fluent japanese . juliet : uh - huh . cane : you live in tokyo . juliet : so victoria would n't have to pay to relocate somebody . that 's -- that 's a big plus , right ? cane : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . the , uh , the division manager job requires a people person . okay . juliet : which i am . i - i just could n't exactly list it under skills . cane : yeah , yeah . you , uh , you brought sato back to the table after i botched the deal . but you know what ? i 'd prefer it if we do n't bring that particular -- juliet : but be ready with specifics . cane : absolutely . juliet : will do . cane : okay . juliet : i really do n't have enough leadership experience , though . cane : neither did victoria when she started out , all right ? but you 're eager to learn and you work hard . she 'll appreciate it . you got this . juliet : thanks . cane : come here . your , uh , your tag is sticking out . let me fix it . juliet : you saved me . cane : all right . yeah , well , my wife 's a model , so i was taught well . juliet : thank you , cane . cane : no worries . you got this , okay ? jordan : i ca n't take credit for hilary 's decision . she definitely is her own person . lily : well , you seem like you 're in a good mood , too . jordan : i had a -- i had a great night . lily : what 'd you do ? jordan : i had fun shooting a personal photography project . lily : that 's great . you have n't done a showing in a long time . jordan : hmm . lily : i should come over and then i can -- jordan : not this time , lily . this is private . it 's something i did for myself . lily : okay . well , i 'm sure it 's wonderful . jordan : you know , now that the men 's line has rolled out domestically , i 'm getting inquiries for you from all the fashion houses and photographers . lily : really ? wow . [ laughs ] i mean , i 'm -- i 'm flattered , but you know i have an exclusive with brash & sassy . jordan : your contract will be up in a couple of years . then you can work as much and become as famous as you want to . chelsea : you did n't come here to make me coffee . nick : if you slept as little as i did last night , you need it . i came over here to ... apologize , but i ca n't make myself do it . chelsea : so you 're not sorry ? nick : not for suspecting chloe , and not for following through . if she had anything to do with my brother 's death -- chelsea : then why did you come here , nick ? are you just trying to upset me again ? nick : no , of course not . chelsea : i 've worked so hard to get past my grief . but with you working around the clock trying to prove that my best friend murdered my husband , all you 're doing is making me think about adam again . nick : and that 's what i 'm sorry for . i did n't take into account what this would do to you , you know , that it could hurt you or tear you apart . chelsea : does it really matter that chloe was near the cabin before adam died ? nick : it matters to me . chelsea : but the police said -- nick : yeah , i know what they said . they said that the propane tank exploded and it was an accident . but i 'm not sure about that . and as much as i would love to just drop this for your sake , i just ca n't do it . chelsea : chloe did n't do this ! can you seriously picture her crawling around outside that cabin trying to sabotage the propane tank ? [ chuckling ] it 's ridiculous ! it does n't even make any sense ! you know ... dragging all this up again , it 's not gon na bring adam back . nick : i know . chelsea : i mean ... [ sighs ] i would n't have gotten through the past six months if it was n't for chloe . she was able to , you know , cheer me up and -- and babysit connor when i needed a break , and she helped out here at work . she took on extra responsibilities . i think that that says more about chloe 's character than -- nick : than when she pulled a gun on adam and when she hit him with her car ? chelsea : you are wrong about her . she is not the same person . nick : maybe i am wrong . but maybe i 'm not . but doing this to you is wrong . chelsea : then i am asking you to please drop it . nick : i 'm sorry . i ca n't . but i also ca n't lose you . chelsea : [ sighs ] where does that leave us ? nick : well , i can promise to not try and change your mind about chloe anymore . i can respect your wishes . i can stop talking to you about her . that is the best i can do . chelsea : well , then i guess that will have to be good enough . jack : a father - and - son business . fantastic . this your idea ? neil : devon approached me . let me tell you something . i could n't be more proud and more grateful . jack : i 'll bet . well , give me details . i assume you 're gon na start off pretty small - scale . neil : well , well , that would be too easy . as well you know , devon 's got billions that he wants to use wisely . you know who i am . we both got business degrees , so we 're gon na invest in and acquire companies . jack : you want to build a company that can compete with jabot and newman ? neil : ooh . you worried about the competition ? jack : well , it took this family company decades to build , and in this market , i mean , this endeavor is risky business . neil : devon 's got deep pockets . he 's got a knack for acquisitions . you know , the club 's doing well . the building where he 's living is making a good return for him . and he 's no longer saddled with gc buzz . he gave it away in the divorce to hilary . jack : he did ? i knew she was asking for it . neil : my son is ready to jump in a new project with me . jack : as long as it 's not cosmetics . neil : [ laughs ] victoria : what caused you to move to japan ? juliet : my father was stationed there . victoria : that 's interesting . [ chatter ] cane : smile . victoria : why did you leave that company ? juliet : they closed their japanese division . victoria : oh . well , i 'm surprised that they did n't offer you a job in the states . you were obviously a very important part of that team . juliet : we bounced that around , but i love japan and its culture . and living there while acting as division manager for brash & sassy would be the best of both worlds . victoria : well , your knowledge of our company 's stats and products is really impressive . juliet : and a little geeky . victoria : [ chuckles ] yes , just a tad . juliet : [ chuckles ] well , it 's just the way i am . when i have work i enjoy , i go at it harder than anyone . victoria : you remind me of me . chloe : if you want , i can leave . nick : no , no , i was just about to take off anyway . chelsea 's in wedding dress mode , and i 've kept her from it long enough . chloe : ooh ! it looks like it 's gon na be beautiful . chelsea : yeah , it 's really coming along . but i ca n't start my sewing until you approve the final touches . chloe : you know i 'm gon na love anything that you do . chelsea : no , you are the bride ! so whatever you say goes . nick : you 're gon na make a lovely bride , chloe . i wish nothing but happiness for you and kevin . chloe : thanks , nick . i appreciate that . who knows ? maybe you two will be next . nick : whoa . chelsea : stop it . nick : well , who knows ? see you later . chelsea : okay . bye . nick : bye . bye , chloe . chloe : bye . cane : all right , call me when it 's confirmed , all right ? bye . okay ? and ? juliet : i crushed it . cane : i knew you would . juliet : thank you for the interview tips and for reminding me to smile and all of that . i can not wait to start working with you again . in tokyo , of course . cane : you have a safe flight back . juliet : thank you . cane : all right . juliet : ja ne . cane : ja ne . how 'd it go ? victoria : uh , it went great . yeah . cane : you gon na hire her ? victoria : you know , as much as i 'd like to , juliet 's never run a division , and i need someone who 's worked in a senior management role and has experience launching and supervising a satellite office , cane . cane : you know , she learns quick , and , uh , you know , she 's hungry . victoria : yeah , no , both true . but i 've decided to go with somebody else . cane : really ? victoria : look , she 's great , but she 's just not ready yet , okay ? so do n't take this personally . cane : no , i 'm not . it 's just , uh , i 'm just kind of disappointed for her . but no , i understand . it 's cool . victoria : this is my least favorite part . now i have to call back the candidates to make a cut . cane : well , you know what ? uh , since i recommended her , i 'll do you a favor . i 'll give her the bad news for you . victoria : thank you . i think that would make it easier on her . cane : sure . victoria : cane . cane : yeah ? victoria : would you let juliet know that i was very impressed by her and that i 'll keep her in mind for future opportunities ? cane : yeah . nick : what are you doing here so early ? noah : hey . i just thought i 'd , uh , review these invoices before i meet with that booking agent . nick : oh , yeah ? more live music ? that 's great . noah : yeah . it was awesome last night . there was this woman , tessa . it 's actually reed 's music teacher . excellent . really talented . nick : hmm . she cute ? noah : i - i mean , i was n't ... yeah , that , too . yeah . i guess grandma , uh , heard her outside of crimson lights and hired her on the spot . nick : huh . that 's cool . noah : yeah , i was hoping that , um , she 'd come back for a return engagement . nick : yeah ? why ? so she can sing or you can get her number ? noah : dad , i 'm already following her on social media , so if i want to get a hold of her , she 's just a few keystrokes away . nick : aha . how many , uh , selfies has she posted ? noah : uh , weirdly , none . yeah , she just has pictures of her favorite band . yeah , no personal data . nick : that 's great . noah : hey . dad . you have n't stopped checking your phone since you walked in here . what 's so interesting ? chelsea : okay , so no on all these accessories ? chloe : i mean , i think the dress is just perfect . it is so me . oh , i have great news . my mom agreed to letting us do the wedding at katherine 's house . chelsea : chloe , that 's wonderful . chloe : yeah , there 's really no reason for us to wait to getting hitched , so how quickly do you think you can finish that ? chelsea : right away . plus i already finished my maid of honor dress ! chloe : [ gasps ] amazing . chelsea : [ laughs ] chloe : can i help you with anything ? chelsea : no . no , i 've got it all covered . but you need to compare the pricing for the fall line , all of that fabric . chloe : oh , yeah . on it . chelsea : great . chloe : hey . i do n't know if i 've told you lately , but i really like working with you . chelsea : me , too . [ computer keys clacking ] chelsea : which is why , um ... i 'm really glad that we cleared the air about all that -- that stuff , you know , with the tracking device . chloe : yeah , me , too . chelsea : 'cause obviously it was like a little -- it 's a little crazy that we found it in , you know , in -- in connor 's toy . chloe : well , like i said , i just wanted to tip you off if the cops were onto you and adam . best friends do n't let best friends end up in jail . chelsea : i 'll have to keep that in mind . but i just , you know , i want you to know that you never , ever have to keep any secrets from me , chloe . ever . chloe : i planned on telling you about it . it 's just that after the explosion , everything was so crazy , and i forgot about the whole tracker thing . chelsea : yeah , we 've been through so much together , you know . we 've bonded together . we 've -- we 've fought together . but i feel like at the end , you know , it just made us stronger . i feel like we 're closer than ever . chloe : you 're the best friend i 've ever had . chelsea : ditto . so , if there 's -- if there 's anything about that night that you have n't told me , anything at all , you can tell me now . chloe : well , there 's not . i told you everything . chelsea : nick and i traced your cell phone , chloe . chloe : you what ? chelsea : you were half a mile away from the cabin an hour before the explosion . so why did n't you tell me that ? neil : we 're planning on a fairly diverse range of projects . but devon and i have no plans to acquire anything in the cosmetics industry . for now . jack : but in the future ? neil : ah , who knows ? i like the idea of moses , lily 's twins , devon 's future kids growing up knowing that they can join the family business when they finish school , just like you and ashley . jack : yeah , that 's a special bond that comes from building a family business together . neil : yeah . do n't you worry . i will not -- i repeat , not -- abandon the foundation . jack : never doubted that for a minute . hey , i wish you all the luck in the world . neil : same to you , my friend . same to you . jack : take care . neil : yeah . you , too . talk to you soon . abby : plus dad hired scott grainger to write his biography . ashley : lauren 's son , the journalist ? wait , you mean victor 's actually gon na let him tell his story , his whole story ? abby : i know . it 's hard to buy that dad 's going to be transparent . ashley : it 's mind - blowing . when `` ruthless `` was published , your father and i did not come off in the best way . abby : yeah , and scott 's gon na want to interview dad 's kids . ashley : what 's wrong with that ? you 're not gon na say anything to embarrass him . abby : not intentionally , but i did n't live with dad growing up . and then nick and victoria and i sued him . ashley : and you won . you were justified . abby : i do n't want it to come off like i do n't love dad , because i do . ashley : you know what i think you should do ? i think you should call scott and ask to be interviewed right away . abby : now ? like right now ? ashley : mm - hmm . abby : why ? ashley : it 's gon na accomplish two things . first , you can tell scott how much you admire your father , and then you wo n't have to worry about that anymore . and then you can tell your father what you said . abby : and then dad will be impressed and then ... ashley : he 'll be so pleased that he 'll be more willing to let you move forward with your ideas without letting victoria shut you down . noah : always going on about me and my friends , how we 're totally hooked on our phones . nick : yeah , i 'm waiting on something . noah : chelsea ? i like her , dad . she 's making you happy . it 's -- it 's cool . nick : she does make me happy . noah : good . so , is there a problem ? nick : there 's been some tension lately , but , uh , you know , i 'm dealing with it . noah : all right . well , i 'd hate to see whatever 's causing tension ruin things between you two . nick : [ sighs ] so would i . chelsea : where are you going ? chloe : you do n't trust me . you and nick traced my cell phone ? chelsea : yeah . because of that tracker . chloe : i apologized for putting that tracker into connor 's toy , and you said that there was nothing to forgive . so that was a lie . chelsea : no , but i still -- chloe : but nick did n't believe me , so your new boyfriend convinced you that i was lying . chelsea : i trust you , chloe . but nick said that those phone records could confirm where you were that night . i went along with it because it could prove that you were telling the truth . you were at home . chloe : but instead some lowlife underpaid drone told you that i was near the cabin . chelsea : yes , but -- chloe : not to mention that nick probably threw his name around to get that information . or did he use money ? chelsea : no . chloe : how much money did he pay this for the so - called truth ? chelsea : he did not pay him . chloe : but he did pressure the guy . chelsea : he did n't tell the guy where he wanted it to ping . it just pinged ! chloe : so you 're gon na take whatever this phone guy says as gospel because they never make mistakes on anything , right ? i was at the penthouse , chelsea . kevin was there . daniel came by . or do you not believe kevin and daniel ? or do you think that we were all in this together ? chelsea : listen , i was on your side . chloe : until nick convinced you not to be . i could have lost you and connor in that explosion . do you know how terrified i was ? but that does n't matter . [ scoffs ] none of that matters because you just believe nick 's theory about me being some crazed killer ! you know what ? i do n't -- i do n't blame you one bit . chloe : you had every reason to think that i had something to do with adam 's death because , i mean , i tried to run him over . i tried to kill him the same way that he killed delia , and ... i paid a huge price for that . chelsea : yeah , you did . but you worked really hard to get well and put your life back together . i know that . chloe : it just does n't feel like it , you know , because you 're doubting me and you 're accusing me . chelsea : no , i just wanted to hear the whole story ! not because i do n't believe you , but because i do . i believe you , chloe , and i am so grateful to you , the way you stepped up for me after adam died . i was literally just telling nick that . chloe : so nick does n't trust me . he thinks that i killed adam . chelsea : no . we both believe the police report , that the explosion was just a horrible , horrible accident . and i 'm grateful that you tried to protect me and -- and make sure i did n't get in any trouble . chloe : i was really just trying to protect my best friend , and i 'm so sorry that this whole stupid tracker thing has created questions about me in your mind . chelsea : i love you for trying to protect me . chloe : i love you , too . chelsea : [ sighs ] do you forgive me ? chloe : always . chelsea : all right , go . go on . get out of here . chloe : we have work on the fall collection . chelsea : oh , the fall collection can wait . you 've got a wedding to plan . chloe : [ sighs ] chelsea : go . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] both : you lied to me ! ashley : me ? ! jack : yes . you went to neil , offered him a job ? i do n't need a handler , ash ! ashley : oh , i think you do need a handler , 'cause i found out the real reason why you backed out of that hockey deal , jack . jack : i told you why i backed out -- ashley : oh , i know . you saw the errors of your ways . no ! victoria has something on you , and she made you back off . jack : i do n't know who told you what -- ashley : look , what does she have on you ? jack : it 's nothing for you to worry about . ashley : oh , really ? you know what ? where you 're concerned , there 's always something to worry about . i just hope that whatever victoria has on you , it 's not gon na come back and bite us in the butt . lily : i 'm actually having a great time at brash & sassy . i 'm not really looking to leave . jordan : even if an amazing opportunity comes up ? lily : well , what could be better than this ? you know , i get to work with my husband , and my schedule 's flexible enough to where i can make most of my kids ' school events and help them with their homework , have family game nights . and that 's what 's real to me , not the glamour of wearing couture or being in a magazine . even though i do enjoy that . i do , but i do n't know . my -- my family is what grounds me . jordan : you and cane do marriage remarkably well . lily : yeah , we try . cane is a really great husband . jordan : no fights ? no throwing at all ? lily : [ laughs ] i mean , look , we have our issues . what couple does n't ? juliet : you do have good news for me , do n't you ? i knew it ! i knew it as soon as you texted me to meet you . i got the job , did n't i ? and if you think the salary 's gon na be a problem , it wo n't because -- oh , i probably should n't be telling you this , but i actually really do n't care how much i get paid for this job . cane : all right . i know . juliet : and i already have an apartment in tokyo , so , i mean , no relocation lag time . so when does victoria want me to start ? cane : you did n't get the job . i 'm sorry . juliet : i do n't -- i do n't understand . i thought the interview went really well . cane : it did . it went really well , and she 's gon na keep you in mind for other opportunities . and i will recommend you for other jobs . i 'll even call my contact in tokyo . but it 's not gon na happen on this one . and i 'm -- i 'm sorry about that . juliet : you know , thanks -- thanks for your help , but i want to let you know , you do n't have to worry . cane : [ chuckles ] worry about what ? juliet : you know . our secret . abby : sure , that time works . i 'll see you then , scott . victoria : hi . um , i 'm just -- i 'm taking a break . do you have time to sit ? abby : i do n't think so . victoria : oh , come on . abby , you 're not still mad at me because i did n't like your rent - free space for start - ups pitch . abby : i was at first , but it 's not your fault that dad trusts your opinion . victoria : look , do n't be so down on yourself . one of these days , you 're gon na bring a project to dad that he 's absolutely gon na love and it 's gon na make us all a ton of money . abby : that might happen sooner than you think . jordan : working together can be hard on relationships . lily : yeah . look what happened to devon and hilary . although i think it had more to do with all of her manipulation . jordan : how do you and cane make it work ? lily : well , i mean , we do n't always . he was n't exactly thrilled about me going back to modeling . jordan : but he 's okay with it now ? lily : yeah , i think so . i mean , yeah , he -- he closed a really successful deal in tokyo that impressed victoria , so that helped . but bottom line -- we love each other , you know . he knows it makes me happy . and we 've had our issues . we 've worked through them , and we 're stronger for it . cane : all right , i 'll be there soon . thanks . bye . okay . all right , um , i did n't know you and i had a secret . juliet : you do n't have to pretend with me anymore , cane . even though i did n't get the job , i 'm not gon na say anything . cane : okay , i 'm not pretending . i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . i 'm sorry . juliet : wait . you really do n't remember ? cane : no . juliet : [ scoffs ] i just -- i just thought you did n't want to talk about it . cane : it 's not that i do n't want to talk about it . okay , you -- you helped me back to my room , and then you stayed the night . juliet : i did n't just stay the night in your room , cane . we had sex . jack : hold on . hold on . ashley : what ? jack : we do n't have to worry about victoria . but there is someone else we might have to . there 's a reason neil turned down the job here at jabot . he and devon are starting their own company backed by devon 's billions . ashley : so , what ? you think they 'll be in competition with us ? jack : no , not right away , but neil did say he wants it to be a family business . think it through . if cane and lily leave brash & sassy and start working with neil and devon ... ashley : right . they 'll be starting a cosmetics line . jack : exactly . so maybe you should stop fretting about me and start focusing on innovations at jabot . ashley : and just what the hell do you think i 've been doing with my time , jack ? we already have fenmore 's and two spectacular apps in our portfolio . jack : that 's not enough . i 've already started updating the packaging of the men 's line . we need to refresh the product itself . i need new apps , new technology to promote them . ashley : okay , fine . i 'll talk to ravi . jack : no , do more than talk . what ideas do you have in the pipeline ? what are your big ideas ? you keep saying you want a bigger role in this company , so take it . ashley : oh , are you trying to intimidate me now ? because you can forget it . i am more than ready to meet that challenge . just watch me . jack : [ sighs ] chelsea : hi . [ next_on ] abby : honestly , i feel i 'm on the outside . and i 'll never fully be accepted by either side . victoria : you do n't have to feel obligated to give her a role in the company just because she 's your daughter . sharon : paul is your best bet . if you want the truth , that 's the only way . .Summarize.[/INST]the disagreement over nick 's investigation into chloe caused tension between nick and chelsea . chelsea defended her friend . although nick refused to stop looking into the events of that night , he promised to stop discussing it with chelsea . while chloe visited chelsea , nick planted a tracking device on chloe 's car . chelsea told chloe that her phone records showed that she 'd been near the cabin the night of the explosion . chloe swore that she never left the penthouse , and chelsea believed her . noah told nick that he thought tessa was talented , and after some prodding from nick , noah admitted she was cute . nick revealed that he and chelsea were going through a rough patch . chloe drove to a deserted area and threw the tote bag in the dumpster . nick retrieved it and discovered the tranquilizer gun and wrench . chelsea thought about the day she married adam . abby told ashley that she 'd initiated the project at newman , even though victor was n't receptive to it . ashley expressed concern , but abby was confident in her idea . abby revealed that victoria had something on jack . abby was nervous about getting interviewed for victor 's biography , and ashley gave her advice on scoring points with victor .</s> | 16,745 |

does he have a plan to sabotage me and spectra fashions again ? i need to know . sheila : eric , this is rather unorthodox . eric : because james used to be your husband ? james : well , that was a long time ago , sheila . sheila : well , not -- not only that , he 's -- he 's a psychiatrist . james : well , i have a background in neuro . from what eric has told me , you suffered a serious head trauma . partial loss of memory , vertigo , and you 've been diagnosed with a concussion . well , i 'm here to help you . i want to get you back on your feet and back into your life . is n't that what you want ?

it 's like they 've made an art form out of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory . steffy : they think they can make something of the company . bill : not without thomas , they ca n't . steffy : thomas is ensconced in new york with caroline and douglas . bill : happily ever after , i hope . steffy : i hope so , too . but if liam tells sally that caroline is n't dying ... bill : he damn well better not . sally : why am i even asking ? of course your dad is up to something . that is why you 're here -- to help him bury me . liam : i do n't follow my father 's marching orders . but i am here to write an article about you . and so far , the only information available to me is that you pilfered forrester , crashed my wedding , and but for thomas , you 'd be in jail . so ... sally : not my finest moments . liam : yeah . are there a few of those ? because , if so ... [ cell phone beeps ] liam : ... i 'd like to hear them . sally : i have done a lot of growing because of thomas . i need him here . desperately . but i am not gon na pressure him to come back . your cousin is dying , and that trumps everything , even the survival of spectra . so i 'm gon na have to succeed on my own . i just really hope i have a chance with someone like your dad against me . liam : well , i ca n't speak to his ambitions . but i promise you , i will write an honest article . eric : to what do i owe this pleasure ? brooke : i brought these by for quinn . eric : oh , good . i 'll see that she gets them . she 's holed up in the study working on some new designs . brooke : is everything okay ? not that it 's any of my business . eric : well , we have a house guest . i 've allowed sheila to stay in the guest room . james : well , that 's healing fine . i think we can leave the bandage off . your pupils are no longer dilated . sheila : okay , but my heart keeps racing , james . james : well , your pulse is normal , as is your blood pressure . sheila : i 'm having problems focusing . james : really , sheila ? are you being honest with me ? because diagnostically , your vitals are fine . i 'd say you 're ready to be moved from this house . [ suspenseful music playing ] steffy : i get that you want liam to write a review on sally and spectra fashions . but he already has so much on his conscience . bill : liam -- steffy : he 's keeping a secret from thomas and her ! bill : he has to learn there 's a time and a place to be a boy scout ! this is about loyalty . having his priorities in order . now , someday , my boys are going to inherit all this . but neither one of them can handle it alone . each one lacks something the other one compensates for . they complement each other . now , liam has to grow a pair . and this assignment trashing sally is an opportunity for him to do just that . steffy : so you hope . liam : cool . looks like there 's more to you than flash , grit , and inflated confidence . sally : thank you ? liam : i 'm kidding . i 'm talking about your sensitivity . which does poke through now and again . sally : you 're talking about what i said about caroline and thomas earlier ? [ sighs ] look , liam ... i know what it 's like to suffer . i was raised by two parents with addiction problems . i was taken in by my grams , and i pretty much raised coco on my own . so , yes . i know what it feels like to struggle . to fight to survive . obviously nowhere even close to what caroline is going through right now ... but i have had to do a lot of things on my own . liam : yeah , you do n't -- [ chuckles ] you do n't appear to have a problem with that . sally : as long as it 's a level playing field . this is my aunt sally 's building . there 's a lot of history here . and she wants me to carry it on , and i will . as long as i am given a fair shot . is that too much to ask ? liam : no . it 's not . brooke : i guess it was only a matter of time before sheila and quinn went at it , but a full on fight ? eric : it got completely out of hand . there 's no excuse for that kind of violence . brooke : [ sighs ] and now you have her staying here in the house . eric : the doctor insisted that she be observed for the next 24 hours , so ... my conscience would n't let me just kick her to the curb , so ... brooke : okay . so now what ? eric : i reached out to a familiar face to reassess her . brooke : who ? eric : james warwick . sheila : i ca n't possibly leave . i 'm still disoriented , groggy . i - i nearly fell to the floor right before you got here . james : yes , i know that . sheila : well , then , all the more reason to be compassionate here . i -- i was married to you . we share a daughter . you know , i - i still talk to mary ? i talked to her the whole time ... while i was inside . james : while you were in prison , you mean . sheila : the point is we 're still family , and family looks out for one another . james : eric asked me to evaluate you . it 's apparent you 're well enough to leave this house . but it 's also apparent that you do n't want to . now , what i suggest is you gather your things together , and i 'll go and talk to eric . sheila : not so fast , dr. warwick . that is , if you still want to be a doctor . bill : i have a meeting with the zoning commission about sky . steffy : you 're getting ahead of yourself . bill : i do n't think so . steffy : you 're not gon na wait for liam and see how his interview went with sally ? bill : liam better do exactly as i told him to . he knows what the consequences will be if he does n't . steffy : do you mind if i wait , then ? bill : no . but if you touch sky , be careful with her . sally : these still need work . i - i realize that . liam : no , these are not bad . sally : but they need to be better . thanks to monte carlo , the whole entire world is watching . everything is riding on this , liam . it 's ... all or nothing . liam : so ... so , what ? so -- so thomas ca n't give you any input at all ? sally : [ sighs ] he 's tending to his son 's dying mother . he ca n't focus on anything else . i am just under so much pressure with this showing . i 'm good , liam , i am . i believe in myself . but ... without thomas ... [ sighs ] i just feel so empty . like i 've lost a part of myself . [ sighs ] and i know -- i know it 's only temporary . i do . and then -- but that makes me feel even worse , because i 'm sitting here waiting for caroline to die so that he can come back to me . that is so ugly . why am i in this position ? why ? liam : i will give you a fair reading . i promise you that . sally : that is all i ask . [ scoffs ] sorry i got ... so emotional . that is -- that is not like me . liam : maybe it is . sally : no . no , i 'm tough . i learned that from my aunt sally . nothing 's gon na destroy me . except maybe your father . eric : i reached out to james . he happened to be in l.a . brooke : that was a lucky coincidence . eric : or good timing . but i ca n't help but feel bad for sheila . she comes to l.a. , she gets accused of shooting at quinn , she gets thrown in jail , and now she 's suffered a concussion at quinn 's hands . brooke : i hear a `` but `` coming . eric : well , she 's sheila , is n't she ? i do n't think i 'll ever completely trust her . brooke : i do understand . eric : i trust james , though , and he knows sheila really well . brooke : so you 're hoping he 'll give you an accurate report on her condition . eric : mm - hmm . and that she 's fully recovered , and she can leave . move on with her life . sheila : you do n't want to force my hand , james . james : force you to do what , exactly ? never mind . i am not taking the bait . sheila : no , you know what ? there is so much more going on here than you realize . eric is married to a horrible person . she 's -- she 's dishonest . she 's deceptive . she 's going to destroy him . james : i think i know something about that . sheila : [ sighs ] she 's worse than i was . james : i 'm not here at eric 's wife 's behest . i 'm here because eric asked me to give an accurate diagnosis . sheila : and that 's what you 're going to do . you 're gon na tell him i 'm not ready to leave . james : in my opinion , you are . sheila : then change your opinion . james : you want me to lie to eric ? sheila : i told you , our daughter , mary and i , we -- we still talk . james : i know that . sheila : not of everything she 's told me . about you . why are n't you practicing ? it 's like you 've fallen off of the face of the earth . you 're writing prescriptions to yourself . james : you do n't know that 's true . sheila : oh , we both know that it is . you 're addicted to painkillers . and if the medical board knew , you 'd lose your license forever . we do n't want that to happen , now , do we ? liam : this is wrong , steffy . this is really , really wrong . m - my dad already lied to your brother , and now he 's about to ruin -- ruin -- multiple lives , all ... for this . for this ... monument to his ego . steffy : well , tell that to douglas . because there 's a family at stake . a little boy needs his dad . liam : thomas is gon na be in douglas ' life no matter where he 's living . and let 's be honest -- he 's in love with sally , not caroline . steffy : are you sure about that ? liam : yeah , i am . i 've seen them together . so have you . steffy : have you seen thomas and caroline together ? liam : obviously not lately . steffy : well , i have . when you were with sally , caroline sent me a photo . they look happy . they need this time and space , and that 's exactly what your father is giving them . so please do n't fall for sally 's act . and do n't forget all the things that she 's done to me , my family , and the company . you ca n't feel sorry for her . i 'm not taking pleasure in this . but she 's getting what she deserves . sally : [ sighs ] i am almost finished with it , saul . i will be down soon .

[ scene_break ] victoria : okay , listen . do n't get wrong . i like avery . i do . and you seem a lot happier since you 've been with her . and everybody wants a happier nick . nick : [ chuckles ] victoria : but take it from someone who 's made some questionable romantic choices of her own -- i mean , there 's nothing wrong with waiting . and if avery really is the one , that 's not gon na change six months from now or a year from now . but you 're gon na know each other better , and you 're gon na feel more confident about making things permanent . nick : you know i 'm not exactly a beginner at this , right ? victoria : you mean getting burned ? nick : [ chuckles ] look , despite everything , i have no regrets ever being married to sharon or phyllis . victoria : mm , you should n't , because you got some awesome kids out of the deal . still , obviously , you have some questions about the future , which is why you came looking for your infinitely wiser sister 's advice . you would n't have come if you did n't want to hear what i had to say . nick : exactly . so , what do you got ? victoria : you should only marry avery if both of you love each other with all of your hearts . anything less is a gamble that is n't worth taking . [ scene_break ] avery : [ sighs ] it 's possible that i have n't completely gotten dylan out of my system . sharon : and that 's what nick 's picking up on . avery : but i 'm not still in love with dylan . i 'm not going back to him . i 'm with nick now . but he will always be a part of my life because of our past . sharon : if that 's all it was , then nick would n't be having these nagging doubts . avery : okay , damn it . why did dylan have to show up here ? and why could n't he just leave well enough alone ? sharon : well , at least you know he 's alive . avery : yeah , that 's true . and i am so happy . i 'm so happy , but his presence here is complicating the hell out of my life . sharon : all relationships have complications . you could even look at me as a complication , because i have children with nick . but that 's where it ends with us . i mean , we 've both moved on . i 'm not a threat to your future . avery : and you think dylan is ? sharon : only you can answer that , avery . avery : [ sighs ] sharon : but i will say this about nick -- he 's a wonderful man . he 's full of feeling , and if he has one fatal flaw , it 's that he 's in love with the idea of being in love . when he meets someone special , it 's intoxicating to him , and he dives in head - first into a relationship . i just ... do n't want to see him get his heart broken . avery : sharon . sharon : are you 100 % in love with nick ? is there any chance you 're still involved with dylan ? because , if so , you have to call this off right now . do n't lead him on one moment longer . call it off for everyone 's sake . [ scene_break ] chelsea : [ chuckles ] no one 's getting married any time soon . dylan and i do n't have that kind of relationship . anita : well , maybe not now -- chelsea : stop it . dylan : you know , i should get going . it 's very nice meeting you . anita : so nice to meet you , dylan . dylan : thank you . talk to you later . chelsea : okay . what the hell are you doing ? ! anita : scoping out the mark . chelsea : well , dylan is not a mark , okay ? this is n't some con . anita : you 're making him think he 's the father of your baby . what would you call it ? chelsea : okay , that was n't on purpose , okay ? that ... was a mistake . it just happened . anita : you know , that 's exactly my point . this is not well thought out , honey . all the gazillionaires in this town , and you zero in on a carpenter ? you sure did n't learn that from me . chelsea : this is a nonprofit operation , okay , mother ? i am just trying to do what is best for my baby . anita : nonprofit ? ! then it 's not worth the risk , because if you 're not careful , this whole thing could blow up in your face .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : i am tired of you always thinking you know what 's best for me . i know what i 'm doing , okay ? nothing is going to blow up . all you have to do is keep your damn mouth shut about adam being the father . anita : i 'm looking out for the child . is that a crime ? fake daddy pounds nails for a living . what the hell kind of life is he gon na be able to give you ? chelsea : my god . as usual , all you care about is money . anita : it buys security , baby , which you do n't have a whole lot of right now . chelsea : okay , are you finished , mother ? anita : no , i 'm not . why do n't you just make up with adam , move back into your beautiful mansion and live like a queen ? chelsea : for the last time , adam and i are done . if he finds out the truth , he will try to come after this baby , okay ? he can never find out that he 's the father . anita : so , you think that by playing this dylan guy -- playing him for a sap , you 're gon na be safe ? what happens when he finds out you 've been lying ? chelsea : he wo n't . and i swear , if you jeopardize this for me , i will never , ever forgive you .

[ pounding on door ] dante : milo , it 's dante ! open this door . maxie : i had a miscarriage ? what are you talking about ? ellie : i was lying during our earlier altercation . damian . i was researching your medical records . maxie : how did you get your hands on them ? ellie : i tricked damian into helping me hack onto the general hospital mainframe . maxie : you what ? ellie : i 'm sorry . i felt it was my only recourse if i wanted to learn the truth about that baby , especially after both you and dr. westbourne tried to discourage me . maxie : you hacked into my personal medical records ? you bitch . ellie : i realize i violated numerous professional policies , not to mention my personal code of ethics , but i sensed you were hiding something , and i was worried about dante and lulu and that baby . and -- and when i get that -- that feeling , it 's like ... i 'm compelled by some unseen yet extremely powerful force . i had no choice but to follow my instincts . maxie : no , you had a choice . you definitely had a choice to mind your own business and respect my privacy . ellie : maxie ! respect for privacy is not more important than the health and well - being of an unborn child . i sensed something was amiss , and i was right . because that baby does n't even exist . empirical evidence proves it . maxie : i have your empirical evidence right here , in this baby bump . there 's a real baby bumping around , if you would like to feel it . ellie : the facts are right here on the screen ! maxie , you miscarried on new year 's eve , which must have resulted from the fall you took when that mysterious puppy made an unexpected visit to our apartment . i 'm just saying . you fell and you lost the baby . and you 've conspired with dr. westbourne to keep it a secret . maxie : okay . then , uh , how do you explain this ? and if you say it 's a pillow , you better think again 'cause i have sonograms and weird food cravings to prove it . ellie : well , i have to admit , i -- i 'm at a loss as to how you can still be pregnant . maxie : well , let me enlighten you . i never had a miscarriage . i 've been pregnant with the same baby since dr. westbourne implanted dante and lulu 's embryo in me . ellie : no , the records clearly -- maxie : the records must be someone else 's , okay ? maybe you hacked into the wrong file . ellie : no , that is not possible . [ sighs ] the only way that this makes any sense is ... oh , my god . i know what happened . betsy : as far as i 'm concerned , bobby does n't have any connection to the quartermaines . spinelli : well , while i appreciate your sentiment , and i 'm sure you always loved him as your own , i feel compelled to point out that robert frank was sold to you as an infant . his biological father was the late dr. alan quartermaine . betsy : alan quartermaine 's son jason murdered my bobby in cold blood and got off scot - free . spinelli : yeah . alas , however much you loved your son , he was a dangerous psychotic , and jason had no choice but to kill his twin brother . betsy : i do n't care about jason or the rest of bobby 's biological family at all . i was the only mother bobby ever knew , and he loved me . spinelli : yes , of course he did , and how could he not ? you did a wonderful thing purchasing him from heather webber . you gave him a family , and what i have to tell you in no way detracts from that . betsy : what do you have to tell me ? spinelli : well , um , as edward quartermaine 's grandson and alan quartermaine 's son , robert frank would have been entitled to his share of the family fortune . and though he is now deceased ... his daughter , lauren , can still inherit . betsy : bobby does n't have a daughter . tell whoever hired you that he 's barking up the wrong tree . carly : whoa . what are we doing ? aj : i do n't know . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . nikolas : what ? what ? what ? what 's the matter ? elizabeth : nikolas , i ca n't do this again . aj : hold on a second . wait . betsy : bobby had no children . spinelli : i beg to differ . i visited with your friend , the woman who sold you your son bobby . betsy : poor misunderstood heather . how she loved those blts at the diner . spinelli : yes -- yes , she did . but more importantly , um ... she told me that you two remained in touch , and she confirmed that your son bobby fathered a daughter named lauren and that the girl 's mother never allowed him access to his child . betsy : heather said that ? spinelli : yes , she did . and although i will admit that heather is not the most reliable of witnesses , she seemed ... quite lucid regarding this particular topic , so i am quite certain that bobby fathered a daughter . betsy : [ sighs ] can you imagine ... a mother keeping a father from his child ... and not letting a child know her genius father ? spinelli : it 's unconscionable . betsy : yes , it is . and , yes , mr. spinelli ... bobby fathered a daughter . but we hardly ever spoke of her . it only broke bobby 's heart . maxie : you think you know what 's going on when i 'm obviously still pregnant but my records say i 'm not . ellie : uh , if you remember , i aided in the fertilization process . i introduced dante 's sperm to lulu 's eggs , thus creating three embryos . the first one dr. westbourne implanted into you , and the remaining two i froze , to be held in reserve . clearly , you did n't want dante and lulu to know that you had lost the baby , so while they were away in turkey , you had dr. westbourne implant you with one of the remaining embryos . maxie : that 's completely crazy . ellie : oh , is it ? maxie : where do you think you 're going ? ellie : well , i 'm going to the lab , and i bet i know what i 'll find . maxie : no , ellie ! you ca n't ... go to the lab . lulu : no , no , no , no , no ! please . please do n't open it . dante : swear to you , i 'll break it down ! lulu : yeah , no , he sounds serious and really angry , which -- which is why i should open the door . milo : no , no , no , it 's okay . lulu : no , no , no , no , no ! i do n't want him to hurt you , okay ? not after you 've been so great to me . milo : lulu , please ... lulu : [ breathes deeply ] dante : lulu . lulu , thank god you 're okay . lulu : i told you i was fine . leave it at that . dante : wait . elizabeth : oh , my god . nikolas : i take it you were surprised . elizabeth : just a little . nikolas : look , we made such a point to stay out of each other 's lives , but now i realize that there 's nothing standing in our way anymore . elizabeth : that 's not true . nikolas : you have n't said much about why lucky left , but it 's clear that he 's not making you wait , right ? elizabeth : no , he 's not . nikolas : no . so then you 're free , and so am i . come on . elizabeth : it took lucky a really long time to forgive us . remember ? and if we get back together , he 's gon na find out , and it does n't matter whether he lives next door or halfway around the world . he is still your brother ! nikolas : i know that , and he 'll always be my brother , but that does n't mean that i have to stay away from you . elizabeth : and i do n't want to destroy the peace that i 've made with him . he is cameron and aiden 's father . i will forever be tethered to him because of that . nikolas : and he 's in no position to dictate what we do or what we do n't do right now . elizabeth : but he could get hurt . he could get hurt . and do n't you remember how betrayed he felt and how you took the blame for everything and how devastated you were over losing your brother ? nikolas : yes , i remember , and i was devastated to lose you , too . elizabeth : this is crazy . this is crazy . nikolas : listen to me . elizabeth : do n't you remember how it ended for the three of us last time ? nikolas : yes , of course i remember ! but there 's more to our relationship than the mistakes that we 've made , elizabeth . look at all the years of friendship that we had . you have to tell me -- why should we stay apart ? elizabeth : to protect ourselves ? to protect our hearts ? nikolas : protect what ? there 's no more obstacles in the way . do n't you understand ? we can do this . i know that we can . and all the feelings are still there . i could feel it in that kiss . could n't you ? aj : [ laughing ] dante : you 're here . max told me you were , but i did n't believe it . and i know milo . used to like him . anyway , never mind . forget all that . look -- come home with me , please . your clothes are there , your bed is there . everything 's gon na remind you -- lulu : look , look , i 'm sorry that i worried you , okay ? but i want to stay here . dante : what do you mean you want to stay here ? lulu : i feel more comfortable . dante : milo , what the hell is going on ? milo : listen , dante , i can -- dante : no , why did n't you call me when you found her ? you knew i was looking for her . you said you would help me -- milo : right , right . i know , and that was extremely difficult -- dante : so , wait a second . why did i find out from your brother , max , that lulu was in your apartment instead of you ? milo : i wanted to tell you , really , but lulu asked me not to . believe me , when i ran into you at the floating rib today , i felt awful . dante : wait -- wait a second . what are you saying ? what are you saying ? milo : i wanted to tell you , okay ? but , listen , maybe i can make it up to you . do you want one of my special shakes ? dante : wait . stop , stop , stop . what are you telling me ? what are you saying , milo ? that -- that lulu was here in your apartment when i saw you at the floating rib ? milo : yeah . yeah , she was there , but i just went there to go try and find her ring , okay ? when lulu woke up this morning , she realized that she -- dante : whoa . when she woke up this morning ? wait a minute . so you 're the guy -- you 're the guy the bartender says she left with last night ! last night , my wife was spending the night here in your apartment ? ! lulu : dante , enough ! oh ! oh , my gosh ! ellie : oh , and why do n't you want me going to the lab ? it 's because i 'm right , are n't i ? i 'm not gon na find two of dante and lulu 's frozen embryos . i 'm only gon na find one . maxie : no . they 're both still there . ellie : i do n't understand . because you had a miscarriage , and you 're still pregnant . i had a miscarriage . and i 'm pregnant . but i did n't get this way because of one of dante and lulu 's embryos . ellie : what do you -- what do you mean ? and if you 're gon na come up with another lie or another cover story , just do n't bother . maxie : ellie ! this is not dante and lulu 's child . spinelli : it is painfully unfair that lauren grew up not knowing her father , and i speak from experience . i , myself , never knew my parents , and i 've regretted it all my life . betsy : then you understand . none of this was bobby 's fault . he did nothing to deserve that sort of treatment . and neither did poor lauren . her mother wo n't even let me see my grandchild . spinelli : that -- that 's terrible . betsy : she treats lauren like she 's her property -- her little prize . it 'd serve her right if lauren finally turned on her . let her be the one with the broken heart . spinelli : i might be able to help you with that . carly : wow . aj : yeah . carly : that was , um ... aj : unbelievable . carly : no , no , no . this can not be happening again . aj : what just happened ? carly : temporary insanity . that has to be the only explanation . aj : what the hell was i thinking ? all i wanted to do was just forget that i ruined everything with elizabeth . nikolas : i could tell when you kissed me you felt the same feelings i did ... the same way we felt the first night we were together . elizabeth : yeah , i remember . nikolas : we can feel that same way again , elizabeth , only this time , we do n't have to sneak around , carry around the -- the guilt and the regret . you know , i can ... i could finally take you to dinner ... take you for -- for a walk , to a party . i can ... and then i could take you home . elizabeth : nikolas ... nikolas : listen ... every time that you left me , i wanted you to stay . the only -- listen to me -- the only thing i wanted more was for you and lucky to be happy . that 's the only reason why i gave you up , the only reason why i went away . but i never forgot you . i never forgot what we had together . i miss you . elizabeth : oh . nikolas : listen , i miss you so much ... and i feel so empty . i mean , it literally hurts my chest . elizabeth , i dream about waking up next to you . you understand ? elizabeth : but we were wrong . we were wrong . nikolas : but we 're not -- we 're not wrong now . despite all the -- the guilt and the shame and the pain that we 've carried , we had something amazing , and it 's still there . i could feel it . elizabeth : yes , and i could feel it , too . and i know that it 's more than just our friendship or our history . i know that there 's always gon na be something special between us . i know that it 'll be forever . but i ca n't do this . i ca n't do it -- nikolas : will you please just listen to me for a second ? all that time in the hospital ... and you were sitting there next to me , willing me to live , i did . i did , because of you , because of the strength that you gave me . we can get through this . i promise , we can get back -- we can get back everything that we had . we can get back everything that we had , and then everything will be all right . elizabeth : i ca n't . nikolas , i 'm sorry . i -- i ca n't . nikolas : is this more than just about lucky , or -- or is this about aj quartermaine , too ? aj : okay . this changes nothing . carly : oh , i still hate you . aj : i despise you more than i ever did . carly : good to know . aj : so , if we both hate each other as much as we ever have , what the hell just happened ? carly : i do n't know , and i do n't care , but if you tell anybody about this , i will kill you . aj : feel free , okay ? because if anyone ever finds out about this , i 'll wish i was dead . carly : then agreed . it never happened , right ? aj : great . what a nightmare . carly : well , the nightmare 's over , all right ? never to be spoke of again . aj : oh , god . i 'd rather cut my tongue out than tell anyone about this . carly : you know what ? at least we agree on something . [ knock on door ] monica : aj ? is everything okay in there ? ellie : the baby you 're carrying is n't dante and lulu 's ? maxie : well , you were half right . i did have a miscarriage ... on new year 's eve . i was -- i was gon na tell dante and lulu . i mean , i invited them over , and i planned out everything i was gon na say , and ... after everything they 've been through , i just could n't disappoint them . so when they had to suddenly rush off to turkey to rescue luke , i thought , `` this is the perfect solution , `` so asked dr. westbourne to implant me with one of dante and lulu 's remaining embryos . ellie : but she would n't ? maxie : she could n't . when she tested me to see if i was ready for the procedure , it turned out that ... i did n't need to be implanted again because -- ellie : because you were already pregnant . maxie : yeah . ellie : but not with dante and lulu 's baby . maxie : no . ellie : with damian 's . spinelli : the bond between parent and child , be they present or absent , is a complex and a permanent one , and as franco -- as bobby 's mother , you , no doubt , would do all you could for his daughter . betsy : why do you think you can help me ? how could you possibly pry lauren from her mother ? spinelli : my employer , alan quartermaine jr. , is lauren 's biological uncle , and all he wants is to give his niece what is rightfully hers -- a portion of that enterprising and incredibly successful family 's fortune . now , i understand that you might hate the quartermaines , but lauren may feel differently . she may embrace them as her family , and -- and their wealth could provide her with the means to break free from what sounds like a stifling and possessive mother , and ... would n't that make you happy , mrs. frank ? is n't that what you want ? betsy : more than anything . spinelli : and if she gets some distance from her mother , perhaps she 'll realize how isolated she 's been all these years , and ... she 'll want to get to know you , as well . betsy : i 've been hoping for that myself . spinelli : then let me make your dream come true , mrs. frank . just tell me where lauren is . lulu : milo , are you okay ? are you okay ? milo : oh , man , that was quite a punch . dante : what the hell are you thinking ? you had lulu in here since last night ? lulu : so what if he did ? that does n't give you the right to assault him . i 'm calling the police . dante : i am the police ! look , milo 's in the wrong here . i 'm actually the good guy . lulu : milo has been nothing but nice to me . milo listens to me . he actually tries to support me , to understand what i 'm going through . milo does n't want anything from me , unlike you . dante : i 'm trying to help you . lulu : you expect me to come home with you and be your wife and prepare for this baby that i do n't even remember . you storm in here and punch the guy who 's been helping me since last night . milo has been a perfect gentleman . you should be thanking him , not punching him in the face . what would you have done if he decided to hit you back ? oh , but he ca n't hit you back because he works for your dad , and he does n't want to get fired , which means you took unfair advantage of -- dante : i took unfair advantage of the -- he knows your condition ! he knows i 'm looking for you ! lulu : you 're the bad guy , and you owe milo an apology ! elizabeth : i 've been thinking a lot about what happened between me and aj and how he told you to stay away from me , and i was upset . nikolas : upset ? you were furious . elizabeth : but i did n't go to kelly 's with the intention of breaking things off with him . i -- i just wanted him to know that i knew what he had done and that it was n't okay . nikolas : well , something must have happened for you to take it further and break up with him . elizabeth : he told me he was concerned because you and i had had an affair , and that just threw me over the edge . nikolas : aj is in no position to judge either one of us . elizabeth : still , i overreacted . i mean , he even said i did . nikolas : elizabeth , he 's manipulating you , trying to get you to doubt your own feelings . elizabeth : but i was hurt . i was hurt , and i do n't ... my reaction had more to do with me than aj . i feel bad about our affair . nikolas , i still feel incredibly guilty . nikolas : i know . look , whatever feelings you have about our past , it does n't excuse aj . he 's acting like a jealous idiot who 's trying to claim you like you 're his property . elizabeth : but he was n't really wrong , was he ? i mean , you just -- you just told me you had feelings for me , and he knew before i did . and when you answered my phone , that just validated his suspicions . nikolas : i feel like you 're giving him too much of a break , elizabeth . elizabeth : i think i need to go talk to him . monica : aj , are you all right ? what 's going on in there ? aj : just a second , mom . i 'll be right there ! coming ! mom . monica : oh . what happened ? aj : oh , it 's a long story . monica : well , i -- i heard a noise , like something breaking . aj : no , that 's -- that was nothing . monica : well , it did n't sound like nothing . it sounded like something went crashing to the ground . are you sure you 're all right ? aj : i , uh -- i knocked over a lamp . monica : not the italian one . carly : no , it was another one . uh , listen , i 'm sorry . i 'll -- i 'll reimburse you for it . monica : i do n't care about that . you 're very flushed , aj . aj : no , no , i 'm fine . i 'm okay . monica : wait a minute . aj : mom , what are you doing ? monica : your pulse is racing . why did n't you call me ? aj : why ? monica : because you 're obviously having a panic attack . aj : mom , i 'm fine . monica : we got to get you to bed . aj : mom , i 'm not having a panic attack . i promise , i 'm not . monica : well , you 're flushed , you 're sweaty , your pulse is racing . what is it ? aj : mom , no , it 's not a panic attack . monica : oh . oh ! aj : [ chuckles nervously ] monica : oh . aj : yeah . see ? monica : oh , my -- you 're not alone . nikolas : i think it 's a really bad idea to go talk to aj right now . elizabeth : it 's not your decision . nikolas : wait . wait a second . i know -- i know you feel bad about the way you ended things , but , honestly , i think it 's the best thing that you could have done . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : aj -- he 's no good . okay ? think of all the damage he 's caused , all the times he 's hurt his own family ? nearly killed his brother , his father , hired a psychopath to kidnap three children -- one was his own . elizabeth : all right , all right , i know that he 's made a lot of mistakes . nikolas : a lot of people have tried and failed to save aj for one simple reason , he does not want to be saved . he 's his own worst enemy , elizabeth . yeah , he 'll say that he 's changed , but we both know there will come a point in time where he 'll make another monumental mistake , and you 'll get caught in the crossfire . i just think you 're better without him . that 's all . elizabeth : i just do n't want to leave things like this , not after everything he 's done for me . he was there for me when my brother got hurt and when they pulled him off to prison . and you know what ? he supported me the entire time you were in the hospital . and i just feel like i at least owe it to him to find out what it is that he wanted . nikolas : elizabeth ... i 'm not giving up on you . elizabeth : nikolas ... nikolas : when i got shot , i came about as close to death as a person could . i came back ... i came back because of you ... not just because you sat next to me in the hospital . i came back , because i was meant to have a life ... with you . monica : of course , you have someone in there . what was i thinking ? aj : it 's okay . monica : no , it 's not okay . i should mind my own business . it 's just that -- well , i heard this bang , and i thought something had happened , that you were hurt . aj : no , i 'm not hurt . let 's just leave that , okay ? monica : i am so glad that you and elizabeth are getting closer . see ? it pays to pay attention to your mother sometimes . i 'm so glad you did n't let nikolas steal her away from you . aj : right . monica : you deserve someone like elizabeth , someone who 's good and decent , makes you happy . and i ca n't tell you how wonderful it feels to finally approve of a woman who is sharing your bed . oh , elizabeth is so far above the women you were seeing when you were drinking . aj : uh , mom , listen -- i should probably get -- monica : oh , of course , of course , of course . please apologize to elizabeth . i 'm so sorry i interrupted . aj : it 's okay . carly : i have got to get out of here . dante : you want me to apologize to the guy who hid my wife from me ? milo : it 's okay , dante . no apologies necessary . dante : no kidding ! lulu : dante , if you really loved me like you keep saying you do , then you 'll prove it -- by saying you 're sorry to milo . dante : okay . milo , i 'm sorry i hit you . milo : it 's all good . it 's fine . dante : no . no , lulu 's right . i lost my temper for a second , there , and i took it out on you , and i should n't have done that . see , the problem is , my wife does n't remember me . she disappears without a word , and i find her in my father 's bodyguard 's apartment , and she seems more comfortable with him than she does with me ... not to mention the fact that you knew i was looking for her , and you let me go on and on and on at the bar , asking you for help . lulu : quit while you 're ahead , dude . you had me at `` sorry . `` dante : okay . i did what you asked me to do . now will you do something for me ? it is a request , not an order . lulu : i 'm listening . dante : will you please come home with me ? lulu , you have been through a serious trauma . okay , we still do n't even know everything that happened to you yet , but we do need to deal with it , and you need to -- to heal . and i think the best place for that is at home , where you can rest and relax and just ... be . lulu : i ca n't -- dante : wait . stop . i wo n't pressure you . i promise . you have my word -- i will not pressure you . i will take good care of you , just like our good buddy milo here did . [ breathes deeply ] you are the love of my life ... and i miss you ... so much . please come home with me . ellie : oh , my god . you 're having damian 's baby . maxie : believe me -- i was as shocked as you are now . and i really wish you were n't such a good detective , because if you had n't kept digging , i mean , no one would have known . i really thought i had this whole thing under control . ellie : you mean ... you were just keeping it a secret from dante and lulu ? maxie : yeah . ellie : they do n't have a clue ? maxie : no . ellie : neither does damian , does he ? betsy : as much as i might want to help you , i have no relationship with my grandchild . spinelli : it is my understanding that she 's no longer a child -- rather , almost a grown woman . betsy : do n't remind me . it just makes me realize all the time i 've lost . spinelli : well , there may be a way to regain the tempus fugit . look , i -- i really need your help to locate lauren . you must have some idea of where she and her mother might be . betsy : [ sighs ] i did have an address . but it 's a few years old . who 's to say it 's still accurate ? spinelli : it 's a start , and that 's all we need . betsy : oh . here it is . hmm . spinelli : thank you . thank you so much . betsy : do n't thank me . my son suffered a cruel fate . i just hope you 're never kept from knowing your offspring the way my bobby was . maxie : no , spinelli does not know that i 'm having his baby . ellie : maxie ... that is wrong . damian needs to know that ... and i have to tell him . betsy : that nosy quartermaine p.i . is gone ! finally . you can come out now . maxie : ellie , what are you doing ? ellie : i 'm calling damian . he needs to know the truth . maxie : no ! please , can we talk about this first ? ellie : maxie , there is nothing to talk about ! you are carrying damian 's baby , and you 're keeping it from him ! that is so wrong ! [ ringing ] spinelli : the effervescent ellie -- i was just about to call you . i met with betsy frank . ellie : damian , listen to me . um , i need to tell you something of the utmost importance . dante : let 's go home . lulu : i 'm so sorry , but i ca n't . i know you 're not trying to pressure me , but i 'm not ready to go back to a place i do n't remember . dante : how do you know if you 've never been there before ? i mean , we spent so much time there , and maybe just being in that space will bring things back . lulu : you do n't understand , okay ? i -- i 've tried . i went onto milo 's laptop , and i looked up who i was and who you were and what we meant to each other , and i ... i tried to feel what that smiling woman in all those photos was feeling , but i could n't , okay ? dante : okay . so let 's try again . let 's try again . maybe me being there with you will make it easier . lulu : i feel more comfortable here with milo , okay ? dante : all right . all right , i -- i , uh ... i understand , and i respect your decision . and i 'm not gon na force you to go home if you 're not ready to go home . lulu : thank you . maybe you 're right . maybe you 're one of the good guys . dante : ah . nice that you 're finally starting to realize that . but if you 're gon na stay here with our good buddy milo ... then so am i . nikolas : [ sighs ] carly : can you please help me find my clothes ? aj : look , i want you out of here as much as you want to get out of here . carly : your mother was so excited about the thought that elizabeth was in this room , she 's gon na bring up milk and cookies . aj : you know what ? hey , i 'll throw us both out of the window before that happened . no one can know about this , especially my mother . carly : can you imagine the look on her face if she knew it were me in this bed instead of elizabeth ? [ doorbell rings ] monica : coming ! | lulu comes onto milo . he pushes away from her . she kisses him again . he pushes her away again and tells her never to do that again . he asks her how she thinks it would make dante feel . she says she does n't remember being dante 's wife . she doubts that max ratted her out to dante . dante bangs on the door . lulu opens it , tells him that she told him that she is ok , and attempts to close the door on him , but he forces himself in . he is very thankful to milo for keeping lulu safe until he finds out that she has been with milo the whole time . he punches milo . lulu accuses him of taking unfair advantage because he knows milo wo n't defend himself against his boss 's son . she demands that dante apologize . he does it and then asks her to come home . she says no , she is n't ready . he says she can stay at milo 's place , but that he is staying there too . | <s>[INST] lulu : milo , you saved me . so if your boss or dante comes after you , they 're gon na have to go through me first . milo : thanks , but ... i can take my own licks . just as long as i know you 're okay . are you ... okay ? lulu : yes , milo . at this moment , i am ... just fine . milo : lulu ! what are you doing ? lulu : you and your brother both told me that you were into me . i do n't remember , but after spending the last day with you , it kind of seems like it 's true . milo : that 's not the point . lulu : yeah , but it is for me . i -- i do n't remember the past , okay ? so all that matters is the present , and ... this is good , right ? ellie : [ sighs ] this is impossible . if maxie had a miscarriage , how can she still be pregnant with dante and lulu 's baby ? maxie : do n't mind me . i 'm still not looking at what you 're doing . i just forgot to take my prenatal vitamins . ellie : maxie , you had a miscarriage . betsy : who are you ? spinelli : uh , hello , ma'am . my name is damian spinelli . are -- are you betsy frank ? betsy : whatever you 're selling , i 'm not buying . spinelli : oh , no , i assure you , i 'm not -- i 'm not peddling any products . betsy : then what do you want ? spinelli : ah . here is my card . that should clear it up . betsy : you 're a private investigator ? spinelli : yes . yes , indeed . um , i 'm here to ask you some questions about your son , robert frank , a.k.a . franco , and his connection to the quartermaines . carly : what ? what are you waiting for ? oh , do n't tell me you have forgotten to toss one back . let me help you out . i mean , after that whole situation with brenda and michael , i got to tell you , i could use a drink . so , here you go . just lift it to your lips and toss back the pain . bottoms up . aj : damn you , carly ! carly : what are you gon na do ? what are you gon na do ? hit me ? i dare you . nikolas : look , i know i should n't say this , but i ca n't keep this to myself . elizabeth : keep what to yourself ? nikolas : i have not stopped thinking about you since i left port charles . elizabeth : nikolas ... nikolas : listen -- no , if i do n't get this out , i may never , okay ? i may have left , but i never got over you . and i do n't want to -- not ever . milo : lulu , you ca n't do this . we ca n't do this . we have to stop -- now . lulu : do n't you like it ? milo : no . i mean , yes , of course i liked it . i 've dreamed of kissing you for years , but that 's not the point . lulu : yeah , you keep saying that . so can you tell me what is the point ? milo : the point is , you 're a married woman . your husband is my boss ' son and also a cop , and , actually , also , a friend -- or at least he 's always been decent to me . but even if he was n't any of those things , dante 's still your husband . lulu : but i 'm not his wife . milo : sure you are . you may not remember it , but dante and you are definitely married . lulu : and he has all these expectations of me ! okay , he wants so much from me that i have no idea how to give it . but you ... you just accept me for who i am now , and i feel comfortable with you , and kissing you ... it made me feel less lonely . milo : i 'm sorry you feel lonely , and i 'm so happy you feel better when you 're with me , but it can never happen again . lulu : so i do n't get to have my own life ... have my own feelings . i just have to feel whatever she felt . milo : who 's `` she `` ? lulu : lulu . milo : but you 're lulu . you just do n't remember yet . but you will , and when you do , you 're gon na be really , really glad i would n't let you kiss me . lulu : i seriously doubt that . milo : you have to trust me on this , okay ? my brother just left to go find dante and tell him you 're here . if dante finds us together -- lulu : what 's he gon na do ? what , is he gon na kill you ? milo : i do n't -- i 'm not even worried about me . i 'm worried about him . you felt bad when you lost the ring dante gave you , right ? lulu : yes , i did . but this -- milo : you do n't remember , but you realized dante gave you that ring with a lot of love . i really do n't think you want dante busting down that door to find you kissing another guy . do you ? lulu : we ca n't even be sure that max said anything to dante . he 's your brother . do you really think that he would rat you out like that ? [ pounding on door ] dante : milo , it 's dante ! open this door . maxie : i had a miscarriage ? what are you talking about ? ellie : i was lying during our earlier altercation . damian . i was researching your medical records . maxie : how did you get your hands on them ? ellie : i tricked damian into helping me hack onto the general hospital mainframe . maxie : you what ? ellie : i 'm sorry . i felt it was my only recourse if i wanted to learn the truth about that baby , especially after both you and dr. westbourne tried to discourage me . maxie : you hacked into my personal medical records ? you bitch . ellie : i realize i violated numerous professional policies , not to mention my personal code of ethics , but i sensed you were hiding something , and i was worried about dante and lulu and that baby . and -- and when i get that -- that feeling , it 's like ... i 'm compelled by some unseen yet extremely powerful force . i had no choice but to follow my instincts . maxie : no , you had a choice . you definitely had a choice to mind your own business and respect my privacy . ellie : maxie ! respect for privacy is not more important than the health and well - being of an unborn child . i sensed something was amiss , and i was right . because that baby does n't even exist . empirical evidence proves it . maxie : i have your empirical evidence right here , in this baby bump . there 's a real baby bumping around , if you would like to feel it . ellie : the facts are right here on the screen ! maxie , you miscarried on new year 's eve , which must have resulted from the fall you took when that mysterious puppy made an unexpected visit to our apartment . i 'm just saying . you fell and you lost the baby . and you 've conspired with dr. westbourne to keep it a secret . maxie : okay . then , uh , how do you explain this ? and if you say it 's a pillow , you better think again 'cause i have sonograms and weird food cravings to prove it . ellie : well , i have to admit , i -- i 'm at a loss as to how you can still be pregnant . maxie : well , let me enlighten you . i never had a miscarriage . i 've been pregnant with the same baby since dr. westbourne implanted dante and lulu 's embryo in me . ellie : no , the records clearly -- maxie : the records must be someone else 's , okay ? maybe you hacked into the wrong file . ellie : no , that is not possible . [ sighs ] the only way that this makes any sense is ... oh , my god . i know what happened . betsy : as far as i 'm concerned , bobby does n't have any connection to the quartermaines . spinelli : well , while i appreciate your sentiment , and i 'm sure you always loved him as your own , i feel compelled to point out that robert frank was sold to you as an infant . his biological father was the late dr. alan quartermaine . betsy : alan quartermaine 's son jason murdered my bobby in cold blood and got off scot - free . spinelli : yeah . alas , however much you loved your son , he was a dangerous psychotic , and jason had no choice but to kill his twin brother . betsy : i do n't care about jason or the rest of bobby 's biological family at all . i was the only mother bobby ever knew , and he loved me . spinelli : yes , of course he did , and how could he not ? you did a wonderful thing purchasing him from heather webber . you gave him a family , and what i have to tell you in no way detracts from that . betsy : what do you have to tell me ? spinelli : well , um , as edward quartermaine 's grandson and alan quartermaine 's son , robert frank would have been entitled to his share of the family fortune . and though he is now deceased ... his daughter , lauren , can still inherit . betsy : bobby does n't have a daughter . tell whoever hired you that he 's barking up the wrong tree . carly : whoa . what are we doing ? aj : i do n't know . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . nikolas : what ? what ? what ? what 's the matter ? elizabeth : nikolas , i ca n't do this again . aj : hold on a second . wait . betsy : bobby had no children . spinelli : i beg to differ . i visited with your friend , the woman who sold you your son bobby . betsy : poor misunderstood heather . how she loved those blts at the diner . spinelli : yes -- yes , she did . but more importantly , um ... she told me that you two remained in touch , and she confirmed that your son bobby fathered a daughter named lauren and that the girl 's mother never allowed him access to his child . betsy : heather said that ? spinelli : yes , she did . and although i will admit that heather is not the most reliable of witnesses , she seemed ... quite lucid regarding this particular topic , so i am quite certain that bobby fathered a daughter . betsy : [ sighs ] can you imagine ... a mother keeping a father from his child ... and not letting a child know her genius father ? spinelli : it 's unconscionable . betsy : yes , it is . and , yes , mr. spinelli ... bobby fathered a daughter . but we hardly ever spoke of her . it only broke bobby 's heart . maxie : you think you know what 's going on when i 'm obviously still pregnant but my records say i 'm not . ellie : uh , if you remember , i aided in the fertilization process . i introduced dante 's sperm to lulu 's eggs , thus creating three embryos . the first one dr. westbourne implanted into you , and the remaining two i froze , to be held in reserve . clearly , you did n't want dante and lulu to know that you had lost the baby , so while they were away in turkey , you had dr. westbourne implant you with one of the remaining embryos . maxie : that 's completely crazy . ellie : oh , is it ? maxie : where do you think you 're going ? ellie : well , i 'm going to the lab , and i bet i know what i 'll find . maxie : no , ellie ! you ca n't ... go to the lab . lulu : no , no , no , no , no ! please . please do n't open it . dante : swear to you , i 'll break it down ! lulu : yeah , no , he sounds serious and really angry , which -- which is why i should open the door . milo : no , no , no , it 's okay . lulu : no , no , no , no , no ! i do n't want him to hurt you , okay ? not after you 've been so great to me . milo : lulu , please ... lulu : [ breathes deeply ] dante : lulu . lulu , thank god you 're okay . lulu : i told you i was fine . leave it at that . dante : wait . elizabeth : oh , my god . nikolas : i take it you were surprised . elizabeth : just a little . nikolas : look , we made such a point to stay out of each other 's lives , but now i realize that there 's nothing standing in our way anymore . elizabeth : that 's not true . nikolas : you have n't said much about why lucky left , but it 's clear that he 's not making you wait , right ? elizabeth : no , he 's not . nikolas : no . so then you 're free , and so am i . come on . elizabeth : it took lucky a really long time to forgive us . remember ? and if we get back together , he 's gon na find out , and it does n't matter whether he lives next door or halfway around the world . he is still your brother ! nikolas : i know that , and he 'll always be my brother , but that does n't mean that i have to stay away from you . elizabeth : and i do n't want to destroy the peace that i 've made with him . he is cameron and aiden 's father . i will forever be tethered to him because of that . nikolas : and he 's in no position to dictate what we do or what we do n't do right now . elizabeth : but he could get hurt . he could get hurt . and do n't you remember how betrayed he felt and how you took the blame for everything and how devastated you were over losing your brother ? nikolas : yes , i remember , and i was devastated to lose you , too . elizabeth : this is crazy . this is crazy . nikolas : listen to me . elizabeth : do n't you remember how it ended for the three of us last time ? nikolas : yes , of course i remember ! but there 's more to our relationship than the mistakes that we 've made , elizabeth . look at all the years of friendship that we had . you have to tell me -- why should we stay apart ? elizabeth : to protect ourselves ? to protect our hearts ? nikolas : protect what ? there 's no more obstacles in the way . do n't you understand ? we can do this . i know that we can . and all the feelings are still there . i could feel it in that kiss . could n't you ? aj : [ laughing ] dante : you 're here . max told me you were , but i did n't believe it . and i know milo . used to like him . anyway , never mind . forget all that . look -- come home with me , please . your clothes are there , your bed is there . everything 's gon na remind you -- lulu : look , look , i 'm sorry that i worried you , okay ? but i want to stay here . dante : what do you mean you want to stay here ? lulu : i feel more comfortable . dante : milo , what the hell is going on ? milo : listen , dante , i can -- dante : no , why did n't you call me when you found her ? you knew i was looking for her . you said you would help me -- milo : right , right . i know , and that was extremely difficult -- dante : so , wait a second . why did i find out from your brother , max , that lulu was in your apartment instead of you ? milo : i wanted to tell you , really , but lulu asked me not to . believe me , when i ran into you at the floating rib today , i felt awful . dante : wait -- wait a second . what are you saying ? what are you saying ? milo : i wanted to tell you , okay ? but , listen , maybe i can make it up to you . do you want one of my special shakes ? dante : wait . stop , stop , stop . what are you telling me ? what are you saying , milo ? that -- that lulu was here in your apartment when i saw you at the floating rib ? milo : yeah . yeah , she was there , but i just went there to go try and find her ring , okay ? when lulu woke up this morning , she realized that she -- dante : whoa . when she woke up this morning ? wait a minute . so you 're the guy -- you 're the guy the bartender says she left with last night ! last night , my wife was spending the night here in your apartment ? ! lulu : dante , enough ! oh ! oh , my gosh ! ellie : oh , and why do n't you want me going to the lab ? it 's because i 'm right , are n't i ? i 'm not gon na find two of dante and lulu 's frozen embryos . i 'm only gon na find one . maxie : no . they 're both still there . ellie : i do n't understand . because you had a miscarriage , and you 're still pregnant . i had a miscarriage . and i 'm pregnant . but i did n't get this way because of one of dante and lulu 's embryos . ellie : what do you -- what do you mean ? and if you 're gon na come up with another lie or another cover story , just do n't bother . maxie : ellie ! this is not dante and lulu 's child . spinelli : it is painfully unfair that lauren grew up not knowing her father , and i speak from experience . i , myself , never knew my parents , and i 've regretted it all my life . betsy : then you understand . none of this was bobby 's fault . he did nothing to deserve that sort of treatment . and neither did poor lauren . her mother wo n't even let me see my grandchild . spinelli : that -- that 's terrible . betsy : she treats lauren like she 's her property -- her little prize . it 'd serve her right if lauren finally turned on her . let her be the one with the broken heart . spinelli : i might be able to help you with that . carly : wow . aj : yeah . carly : that was , um ... aj : unbelievable . carly : no , no , no . this can not be happening again . aj : what just happened ? carly : temporary insanity . that has to be the only explanation . aj : what the hell was i thinking ? all i wanted to do was just forget that i ruined everything with elizabeth . nikolas : i could tell when you kissed me you felt the same feelings i did ... the same way we felt the first night we were together . elizabeth : yeah , i remember . nikolas : we can feel that same way again , elizabeth , only this time , we do n't have to sneak around , carry around the -- the guilt and the regret . you know , i can ... i could finally take you to dinner ... take you for -- for a walk , to a party . i can ... and then i could take you home . elizabeth : nikolas ... nikolas : listen ... every time that you left me , i wanted you to stay . the only -- listen to me -- the only thing i wanted more was for you and lucky to be happy . that 's the only reason why i gave you up , the only reason why i went away . but i never forgot you . i never forgot what we had together . i miss you . elizabeth : oh . nikolas : listen , i miss you so much ... and i feel so empty . i mean , it literally hurts my chest . elizabeth , i dream about waking up next to you . you understand ? elizabeth : but we were wrong . we were wrong . nikolas : but we 're not -- we 're not wrong now . despite all the -- the guilt and the shame and the pain that we 've carried , we had something amazing , and it 's still there . i could feel it . elizabeth : yes , and i could feel it , too . and i know that it 's more than just our friendship or our history . i know that there 's always gon na be something special between us . i know that it 'll be forever . but i ca n't do this . i ca n't do it -- nikolas : will you please just listen to me for a second ? all that time in the hospital ... and you were sitting there next to me , willing me to live , i did . i did , because of you , because of the strength that you gave me . we can get through this . i promise , we can get back -- we can get back everything that we had . we can get back everything that we had , and then everything will be all right . elizabeth : i ca n't . nikolas , i 'm sorry . i -- i ca n't . nikolas : is this more than just about lucky , or -- or is this about aj quartermaine , too ? aj : okay . this changes nothing . carly : oh , i still hate you . aj : i despise you more than i ever did . carly : good to know . aj : so , if we both hate each other as much as we ever have , what the hell just happened ? carly : i do n't know , and i do n't care , but if you tell anybody about this , i will kill you . aj : feel free , okay ? because if anyone ever finds out about this , i 'll wish i was dead . carly : then agreed . it never happened , right ? aj : great . what a nightmare . carly : well , the nightmare 's over , all right ? never to be spoke of again . aj : oh , god . i 'd rather cut my tongue out than tell anyone about this . carly : you know what ? at least we agree on something . [ knock on door ] monica : aj ? is everything okay in there ? ellie : the baby you 're carrying is n't dante and lulu 's ? maxie : well , you were half right . i did have a miscarriage ... on new year 's eve . i was -- i was gon na tell dante and lulu . i mean , i invited them over , and i planned out everything i was gon na say , and ... after everything they 've been through , i just could n't disappoint them . so when they had to suddenly rush off to turkey to rescue luke , i thought , `` this is the perfect solution , `` so asked dr. westbourne to implant me with one of dante and lulu 's remaining embryos . ellie : but she would n't ? maxie : she could n't . when she tested me to see if i was ready for the procedure , it turned out that ... i did n't need to be implanted again because -- ellie : because you were already pregnant . maxie : yeah . ellie : but not with dante and lulu 's baby . maxie : no . ellie : with damian 's . spinelli : the bond between parent and child , be they present or absent , is a complex and a permanent one , and as franco -- as bobby 's mother , you , no doubt , would do all you could for his daughter . betsy : why do you think you can help me ? how could you possibly pry lauren from her mother ? spinelli : my employer , alan quartermaine jr. , is lauren 's biological uncle , and all he wants is to give his niece what is rightfully hers -- a portion of that enterprising and incredibly successful family 's fortune . now , i understand that you might hate the quartermaines , but lauren may feel differently . she may embrace them as her family , and -- and their wealth could provide her with the means to break free from what sounds like a stifling and possessive mother , and ... would n't that make you happy , mrs. frank ? is n't that what you want ? betsy : more than anything . spinelli : and if she gets some distance from her mother , perhaps she 'll realize how isolated she 's been all these years , and ... she 'll want to get to know you , as well . betsy : i 've been hoping for that myself . spinelli : then let me make your dream come true , mrs. frank . just tell me where lauren is . lulu : milo , are you okay ? are you okay ? milo : oh , man , that was quite a punch . dante : what the hell are you thinking ? you had lulu in here since last night ? lulu : so what if he did ? that does n't give you the right to assault him . i 'm calling the police . dante : i am the police ! look , milo 's in the wrong here . i 'm actually the good guy . lulu : milo has been nothing but nice to me . milo listens to me . he actually tries to support me , to understand what i 'm going through . milo does n't want anything from me , unlike you . dante : i 'm trying to help you . lulu : you expect me to come home with you and be your wife and prepare for this baby that i do n't even remember . you storm in here and punch the guy who 's been helping me since last night . milo has been a perfect gentleman . you should be thanking him , not punching him in the face . what would you have done if he decided to hit you back ? oh , but he ca n't hit you back because he works for your dad , and he does n't want to get fired , which means you took unfair advantage of -- dante : i took unfair advantage of the -- he knows your condition ! he knows i 'm looking for you ! lulu : you 're the bad guy , and you owe milo an apology ! elizabeth : i 've been thinking a lot about what happened between me and aj and how he told you to stay away from me , and i was upset . nikolas : upset ? you were furious . elizabeth : but i did n't go to kelly 's with the intention of breaking things off with him . i -- i just wanted him to know that i knew what he had done and that it was n't okay . nikolas : well , something must have happened for you to take it further and break up with him . elizabeth : he told me he was concerned because you and i had had an affair , and that just threw me over the edge . nikolas : aj is in no position to judge either one of us . elizabeth : still , i overreacted . i mean , he even said i did . nikolas : elizabeth , he 's manipulating you , trying to get you to doubt your own feelings . elizabeth : but i was hurt . i was hurt , and i do n't ... my reaction had more to do with me than aj . i feel bad about our affair . nikolas , i still feel incredibly guilty . nikolas : i know . look , whatever feelings you have about our past , it does n't excuse aj . he 's acting like a jealous idiot who 's trying to claim you like you 're his property . elizabeth : but he was n't really wrong , was he ? i mean , you just -- you just told me you had feelings for me , and he knew before i did . and when you answered my phone , that just validated his suspicions . nikolas : i feel like you 're giving him too much of a break , elizabeth . elizabeth : i think i need to go talk to him . monica : aj , are you all right ? what 's going on in there ? aj : just a second , mom . i 'll be right there ! coming ! mom . monica : oh . what happened ? aj : oh , it 's a long story . monica : well , i -- i heard a noise , like something breaking . aj : no , that 's -- that was nothing . monica : well , it did n't sound like nothing . it sounded like something went crashing to the ground . are you sure you 're all right ? aj : i , uh -- i knocked over a lamp . monica : not the italian one . carly : no , it was another one . uh , listen , i 'm sorry . i 'll -- i 'll reimburse you for it . monica : i do n't care about that . you 're very flushed , aj . aj : no , no , i 'm fine . i 'm okay . monica : wait a minute . aj : mom , what are you doing ? monica : your pulse is racing . why did n't you call me ? aj : why ? monica : because you 're obviously having a panic attack . aj : mom , i 'm fine . monica : we got to get you to bed . aj : mom , i 'm not having a panic attack . i promise , i 'm not . monica : well , you 're flushed , you 're sweaty , your pulse is racing . what is it ? aj : mom , no , it 's not a panic attack . monica : oh . oh ! aj : [ chuckles nervously ] monica : oh . aj : yeah . see ? monica : oh , my -- you 're not alone . nikolas : i think it 's a really bad idea to go talk to aj right now . elizabeth : it 's not your decision . nikolas : wait . wait a second . i know -- i know you feel bad about the way you ended things , but , honestly , i think it 's the best thing that you could have done . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : aj -- he 's no good . okay ? think of all the damage he 's caused , all the times he 's hurt his own family ? nearly killed his brother , his father , hired a psychopath to kidnap three children -- one was his own . elizabeth : all right , all right , i know that he 's made a lot of mistakes . nikolas : a lot of people have tried and failed to save aj for one simple reason , he does not want to be saved . he 's his own worst enemy , elizabeth . yeah , he 'll say that he 's changed , but we both know there will come a point in time where he 'll make another monumental mistake , and you 'll get caught in the crossfire . i just think you 're better without him . that 's all . elizabeth : i just do n't want to leave things like this , not after everything he 's done for me . he was there for me when my brother got hurt and when they pulled him off to prison . and you know what ? he supported me the entire time you were in the hospital . and i just feel like i at least owe it to him to find out what it is that he wanted . nikolas : elizabeth ... i 'm not giving up on you . elizabeth : nikolas ... nikolas : when i got shot , i came about as close to death as a person could . i came back ... i came back because of you ... not just because you sat next to me in the hospital . i came back , because i was meant to have a life ... with you . monica : of course , you have someone in there . what was i thinking ? aj : it 's okay . monica : no , it 's not okay . i should mind my own business . it 's just that -- well , i heard this bang , and i thought something had happened , that you were hurt . aj : no , i 'm not hurt . let 's just leave that , okay ? monica : i am so glad that you and elizabeth are getting closer . see ? it pays to pay attention to your mother sometimes . i 'm so glad you did n't let nikolas steal her away from you . aj : right . monica : you deserve someone like elizabeth , someone who 's good and decent , makes you happy . and i ca n't tell you how wonderful it feels to finally approve of a woman who is sharing your bed . oh , elizabeth is so far above the women you were seeing when you were drinking . aj : uh , mom , listen -- i should probably get -- monica : oh , of course , of course , of course . please apologize to elizabeth . i 'm so sorry i interrupted . aj : it 's okay . carly : i have got to get out of here . dante : you want me to apologize to the guy who hid my wife from me ?

[ sighs ] i 'm just saying that , even if the forresters do n't realize it yet , they kind of owe me . and what better way to show your appreciation than ... wyatt : than what ? like , make you the new face of forrester creations ? ivy : yeah . [ chuckles ] wyatt : okay . so , the new face of forrester . ivy : it would just be maya and me . okay , look , just think about it , okay ? i know that ridge is gon na want steffy as the new face of , but -- wyatt : yeah . ivy : but if it 's me , i can control it a little bit and i can make sure that the campaign does n't become too overt . and i can honor aly that way . wyatt : yeah , i mean , you -- you did -- you totally proved yourself in amsterdam . i mean , the way you stepped up , you modeled , you were amazing . you -- you handled it like a pro . ivy : i mean , it 's gon na be tough . steffy is the daughter of the c.e.o . she is president . your brother is v.p . wyatt : yeah , i know . even though he has zero experience in the fashion industry . ivy : exactly . exactly , wyatt . this is my whole point . you know , these people need to know that they ca n't have everything . there are consequences in life . so ... are you on board ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . i got your back .
