[ scene_break ] jeffrey : so to sum it up , in the months you 've been treating mr spaulding , you feel he has made substantial recovery ? man : he is fit to rejoin society . jeffrey : thank you , your honor . you have stated mr spaulding has unquestionably recovered . but there are a few questions , why should this court except your opinion as gospel . i would like to bring to the court 's attention that the state 's medical experts were not permitted to exam mr spaulding . man : his testimony strikes me as perfectly reasonable . let 's move on . jeffrey : no further questions , your honor . man : your honor , in light of the assessment we heard , i move for summary judgment . it stands to reason he be freed once returned to sanity . jeffrey : you mean if ? your honor , i have witnesses who have yet to be heard who will refute the contention that mr spaulding has regained his faculties , witnesses who know him far better than any doctors or psychiatrists : his family .

[ scene_break ] gus : it 's all for you , babe . jeffrey : mrs. spaulding , do you agree with the doctor 's assessment that your husband has regained his full sanity ? beth : no . i do n't . i wish i could believe it . it has been agonizing watching alan 's progress . such as it has been . jeffrey : and how has his progress been ? beth : look , i go to bed every night praying for his release and for him to come back to me . but i want a husband who is whole , not someone who is fit to face the pressure . alexandra : i am well - aware of how my brother has been and still is . i know him better than anybody else in the world . all of the psychiatric evaluations you can hand me are not going to convince when i look into his eyes , this is the alan spaulding that i know . lizzie : my grandfather and i were always close , and that 's why he hurts so much . um , i visited him on christmas , i mean , i could tell that he was n't .. beth : why did i marry my husband if i thought he was insane ? because i felt that i could restore him , and i still feel that . that 's why i 'm here tonight , begging you not to release him too soon . alexandra : i think what alan needs is more time . beth : i do n't want my husband to be a danger . lizzie : to be hugging my grandfather alan , not the man who killed my father . gus : the witnesses -- judge : order ! gus : stop that man ! he is coming after my family . he is coming after my wife . no .

nicole : well , i , uh , ran into an old friend -- an old producer -- actually , you know , from the days when i was an on - camera personality , you know . and he said they miss my energy , and they want me back . eric : that 's not what i asked . nicole : i think what would make me happy is not being here . victor : judging from your expression and the casual way that you 're handling that thing , i 'm guessing we still have nothing . marlena : victor , to use this , i 've got to get close enough to kristen to download information from her phone . she hates me more than anybody else on the planet . i tried once , i failed . i wo n't get a second chance . you have to accept that , clever as this thing is , it will not get us what we want . kristen : [ sighs ] i want you to dispose of that thing permanently . and when you do , every last trace of that sex tape will be wiped clean . sarah : i would love to help you out , but problem is , this is n't the right flash drive . kristen : what ? sarah : oh , this is n't ... the right ... flash drive . kristen : you 're kidding , right ? sarah : [ laughing ] dead serious . kristen : well , that ca n't be . sarah : i 'm sorry , but it is n't . kristen : wait , i do n't understand . this is flash drive that you gave me . sarah : it looks a lot like it , but i 'm the one who edited the phone video of you and that dude going at it , and i 'm the one who loaded it on the drive , and that is a micro usb . kristen : okay , you must be mistaken . i 've only been in possession of one flash drive this entire time , and this is the one . marlena : i love brady . you know i do . but my kids are going through some stuff right now , and i 've got ta be there . i ca n't be running around , playing amateur spy . victor : sami has been acquitted . what 's the problem ? marlena : it 's eric . he 's going through something , and he wo n't talk about it . victor : he 's a priest . he can talk directly to god about whatever it is . marlena : wow . wow ! wow ! you do n't understand . victor : oh , of course i do . you 're ready to bail on a situation where you can do some real good , so you can sit around home , waiting for your son the priest to decide to confide in his mommy . marlena : i love the sensitive way you have with looking at painful situations . victor : i am looking at a calendar . and we are soon about to run out of time with still no way to stop this travesty of a wedding ! kristen : take another look . sarah : [ sighs ] kristen : you could be wrong , right ? have you ever been wrong , ever , once in your life ? not even one time ? sarah : i 'm not wrong in this case . this is n't the same drive . kristen : look , i think you 're just trying to be difficult . sarah : if you want , i could show you . kristen : but if the video is n't on here , then ... that means it 's out there . it 's -- marlena : i found it on the ground . i was about to return it to you . kristen : oh , my god . some love to pretend . nicole : you gave me a job when i did n't know what to do . and i will never forget that . but i just -- i just think i really need to move on . eric : why ? nicole : oh , come on . it 's not really that big of a deal . you can find another assistant , one that probably wo n't give you as much lip as i do . eric : i like working with you . you know , every morning , i look forward to seeing you . nicole : do n't say that . eric : why not ? nicole : maybe i should be honest with you . eric : about what ? stop being so hesitant with me . nicole : it 's just that you -- you mean the world to me , and i am so afraid that what i 'm about to tell you is gon na turn you against me permanently . kristen : i knew it . i knew it ! they were up to something . i knew nicole was not drunk . sarah : what ? kristen : see , she was in on this with marlena . sarah : who 's marlena ? what are you blabbing about ? kristen : you know what i need you to do ? you just stay available , okay ? because i got ta handle something on my own , and i need some time . so you stay available for me . do you understand that ? sarah : whatever you say . you have my number . kristen : okay , so marlena has it , marlena has it . why has n't she done anything with it ? maybe she 's waiting for exactly the right time to use it against me . maybe she does n't know what she has . either way , she has n't used it ! so i still have time , and there 's still hope . oh , god ! marlena : why do i have to go skulking around ... stealing information ? is n't that your area of expertise ? i 'm a psychiatrist , for god 's sake , not an electronics wizard . victor : that 's why it has to be you . your inexperience works in our favor . marlena : i know nothing about flash drives . all i know is i wrote the book on kristen . and if she sees me anywhere near her , her defenses will be way up . victor : would it help if i said please ? marlena : oh , you could hire a 15-year - old computer wiz . victor : he would n't be family . that 's why we have to do this . we have to bring her down ourselves . marlena : what do you mean -- what is this `` we `` ? victor : just hold on to that drive . look for an opportunity , and i guarantee you one will present itself . justin : i ca n't tell you how sorry i am for what you had to go through , i really am . marge : do n't you lie to me . you do n't give a damn about me . you and ej dimera crucified my husband so that the woman who murdered him could go free . all timmy and i had was our memories of a good man , and you blew that to pieces . adrienne : marge , let 's just go somewhere quiet and talk about this . marge : why , because you 're too embarrassed to hear about all this in public ? huh ? because you should be . i thought you were a nice woman . but you were part of it . adrienne : no ! marge : yeah . you were perfect , right down to the problems in your marriage . but you were working his side of it all along , were n't you ? adrienne : no , that 's not how it was , merge . justin : she 's telling the truth . marge : come on . you knew that video that led to sami brady being charged was gon na come out no matter what . so you cooked up a scheme to be the one who brought it to the special prosecutor . adrienne : no , i did n't do that . marge : he wanted you to look like you were on my side . justin : mrs. bernardi , your imagination is running wild . adrienne is not your enemy . marge : i had to send timmy to be with his grandparents . i had to protect him from all of these lies about his daddy . and i should be with him , but i stayed here to make people listen to the truth about my joe . adrienne : oh , god . justin : the truth about your joe came out in the courtroom . marge : do n't you dare say that to me . i got in your way , did n't i ? but you and the dimeras , you had a job to do , and you got it done . you ruined my life . you 've ruined my son 's life . adrienne : marge , please . marge : no , no . no . but i 'm not gon na give up . people need to know the truth about joe and all of you . sami : we should 've burned that thing . we wo n't make the same mistake twice . stefano : samantha , my advice to you is to calm down . sami : oh , we 're sharing advice now , are we ? well , my advice to you is to get some more life insurance . i think cecily 's going to need it . she 's got too many miles under her belt too hook another sucker . do you know what 's gon na happen to you when ej finds out you 're here ? stefano : yeah . what 's gon na happen is it 's gon na be like a holiday , you see ? you 're free , and you 're not being blamed for any wrong - doing . so you 're gon na spend the rest of your life with your new husband your children . sami : we will be celebrating , but not with you . i 'll damned if i celebrate anything with the man who tried to throw me in prison for the rest of my life ! ej : look , i did n't come here to harass you , i just came here to do the decent thing and let you know that samantha and i are going to be married soon . rafe : oh , really ? and i would care why ? ej : rafe , you do care . nobody really believes that one of my father 's rejects has taken samantha 's place in your heart . rafe : is that your crappy way of referring to kate ? ej : it is , actually . rafe : leave her out of this . ej : okay . well , i certainly would n't want my news to interfere with your recovery . all of those self - help books do say that positive mental attitude is the key , even in the case of such demoralizing circumstances . rafe : why do n't you go home to your bride - to - be , hmm ? maybe you two will actually make it through the wedding this time . ej : hmm . rafe : go on to that happy life . that is of course if she does n't decide to try and blow your head off again . ej : you have been a thorn in my side since the day you came into this town . but that 's over . my only regret is that samantha was n't elsewhere when bernardi came into your room . rafe : yeah , you would 've liked that , would n't you , if he was able to slit my throat ? ej : throat ? that 's hysterical . [ clears throat ] do you know what bernardi was going to do with his little razor blade ? he came here to put your junk in a box , so to speak . you should thank samantha . she saved you from the ultimate humiliation . what a pity . rafe : [ grunts ] [ insects chirping ] sami : you know what ? i 'm gon na give you 30 seconds to take that monstrosity and get out ! and then i am calling ej . stefano : go ahead . sami : excuse me ? stefano : you call up your beloved . tell him that i am here . see how surprised he really is . sami : [ scoffs ] are you kidding me ? when ej finds out that you are in his house , he 's go -- no . oh , my god . stefano : [ laughing ] by george , she got it ! ha ha ! ej : my goodness , rafe . either you 're making amazing progress , or you were faking your little performance in the courtroom to gain some sympathy . rafe : i keep telling myself that sami deserves you , but really , no one deserves to spend the rest of their life with scum like you . [ phone ringing ] ej : that 's probably just the hospital wondering where i am . i have a board meeting to get to . please do n't let me stop you from your little rant . rafe : oh . trouble in paradise ? hope so . marge : hey , ej ! ej dimera ! oh , my god . they got to you too , did n't they ? nicole : you know , when you told me that you were a priest , i thought , ooh , you are never gon na make it . but i was wrong . and i respect you , and i look up to you , and i am in awe of what you 've made of yourself . eric : do n't do this . nicole : but now there 's something standing between us , and i can not get past it . i ca n't . i thought i could , but i ca n't . eric : nicole , just -- nicole , just tell me . tell me , and maybe we can try to work this out . nicole : not this one . fine , you know what ? it 's -- it 's kristen . eric : what ? it 's kristen and brady . eric : you are leaving because of them ? nicole : you know how much brady means to me . eric : and you know how much brady means to me too . nicole : that woman is going to ruin his life . and they had this crazy idea of getting married here , and you did n't say no ? you went along with it ? eric : okay , nicole -- nicole : and now you 're going through pre - cana with them like they 're some kind of normal couple , and you 're putting your stamp of approval on their marriage , and -- okay , you know what ? i 'm sure that you have your reasons , and you 're just doing what you think is best . but i can not sit here and type and file and watch you condone a relationship that i know is gon na end up just hurting the guy that i care about . so now i have to do what i think is best . eric : would it change your mind if i told you i did this to find out what 's really going on between them ? nicole : sometimes , you have to do what is right , even if it hurts . do you understand ? eric : yes , i am trying to ! i am working with brady and kristen because my training tells me that there may be hope . nicole : your training . your training is wrong . in this case , it is wrong , dead wrong ! marlena : moonlighting as a locksmith , are you ? kristen : i think for everyone 's sake , we should have a little talk . why do n't you pull up a chair ? 3q it 's time to change the way we clean . kristen : you 're not sitting . marlena : i do n't need to . you wo n't be staying that long . kristen : well , that depends on you . we have a situation to deal with . marlena : a situation ? kristen : please do n't be coy with me . i mean , it is me sitting here . marlena : i have no idea what you want . kristen : okay , well , you know that , uh -- that truce that you offered me a few weeks ago ? marlena : [ laughs ] what , are you kidding ? kristen : no ! not at all . oh , sami 's been cleared , and she 's going on with her plans to marry my brother . i 'm marrying brady . we 're going to be family . so i thought it would be amazing if we could collaborate together on an engagement party . marlena : you want us to plan a party . kristen : yeah . marlena : together ? kristen : yes , absolutely . chad and sonny , they converted their coffeehouse into a fantastic club . it would be a great space for it . marlena : so that 's what this is all about . kristen : yeah . what else would it be about ? [ phone ringing ] marlena : dr. evans . no , no , it 's okay . i 'll do it right now . thanks . well ... sorry . i 've got ta step out for a moment , so we can do this some other time . kristen : that 's okay , you go do your thing , and i 'll wait right here for you . justin : how are you holding up ? adrienne : i 'm okay , i guess . justin : you certainly did n't deserve any of that . i understand how she feels . if anybody had come after you the way you went after joe bernardi -- but that would never happen . because you 're a very good man , justin . and joe bernardi did the things you said he did . justin : well , she just did n't wan na face that . she was looking for someone to blame . adrienne : mm . but i 'm not blameless . i screwed up big - time , justin . i should 've come to you right away with that video . justin : adrienne -- adrienne : no , please . let me finish . i was too proud , too stubborn to admit that i 'd done something wrong . [ sighs ] so i said i did n't trust you to look out for sonny . i just -- i do n't know what happened to me . justin : you were worried about my association with ej and sami . and you were right to worry . they misled me every chance they got . adrienne : okay . we 're both a couple of screwups . where do we go from here ? rafe : okay . i know what you 're dealing with right now . marge : did you lie for them ? rafe : who ? marge : the dimeras in court . i saw ej coming from this room . was he here to pay you off ? rafe : okay , listen . you need to sit down , because you 're not thinking straight . marge : you did , did n't you ? you lied . you know , i still have joe 's phone , and i read every text message between you and him . yours always sounded so nice and friendly . you had him thinking you were one of his best friends on the force . and how do you return his friendship ? by lying about him in court so that your slut of an ex - wife -- rafe : listen , listen . you need to stop right now , okay ? i know that you 're going through an awful time . marge : sure , you do . sure , you do , because you helped make it that way . my life is a total wreck ! and it 's all because of sami brady , the dimeras , and you ! rafe : ow ! okay , you just need to just stop , stop . jordan : get away from him right now ! marge : how could you -- jordan : stop it ! stop ! marge : get your hands off me ! get your hands off me ! jordan : stop ! sami : this ca n't be happening . stefano : yet perhaps it is . sami : no . no , you are messing with me . you 've talked your way back into this house , and now you are just trying to talk me into believing that ej was in on it . there is no way that he would make that kind of deal with you without telling me , without warning me . stefano : [ laughs ] well , you two had other things to talk about . sami : you are out of our lives . you are out of this house . ej made sure of that because that is the only way that -- marge : you said you were his friend . jordan : calm down . marge : and then you lied . jordan : okay , get yourself together . marge : how much money did the dimeras give you ? jordan : all right , that 's it . i 'm calling security . rafe : no , do n't . she 's been through enough . there 's no need for security , right , merge ? it 's over , right ? you okay now ? marge : i 'll be going now . rafe : why do n't you sit ? marge ? why do n't you sit , pull yourself together ? marge : you should n't have done that to joe . you said he was your friend . jordan : you okay ? rafe : doing a hell of a lot better than she is . stefano : i 'm sorry about this , elvis , but , uh ... i thought you had told her everything . sami : everything ? stefano : mm . sami : what 's everything ? ej : samantha , i was going to explain this to you tonight in chicago after we put the children to bed . sami : you were taking me out of town to tell me everything . why ? because you thought that when i found out , i would kill him ? ej : no , i just -- i thought that it might be a little easier for you to digest the news . sami : how long have you known ? how long ? ej : since the day you were cleared . eric : you and i have a serious disagreement , and i -- i hear what you 're saying , and ... you , uh -- you 're a permanent fixture here . nicole : great . you can just screw in a 100-watt bulb in my ear , and i 'll light right up . eric : no , no , no . that 's -- you do n't understand . i -- i -- i 'm saying this badly . you -- nicole , we 're a team . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . [ knocking on door ] eric : louise , come in . how are your fractions going ? louise : better . eric : that 's great . louise : sister says that the radiator 's leaking . eric : can you tell the sister that i 'm a bit busy ? and i 'll call the maintenance man . nicole : uh , louise is in sister annabel 's class . you know she 's not gon na settle for the maintenance man . she 'll want you . eric : i 'll be right back . here we go . matt : nicole ? what 's wrong ? nicole : everything . kristen : she has to have it in here someplace . from the way she was acting just now , she does n't have a clue as to what 's on it . god ! if i can just get my hands on it , i 'll be home free . oh , my god ! justin : during the trial , ej pulled every trick in the book to make the evidence go sami 's way . adrienne : so why did n't you quit ? justin : well , the lawyer part of me wanted to , but the husband part of me understood why he was doing it . he was trying to save the woman he loves . and if you or any one of my boys were in that kind of trouble , i would 've probably broke the rules too . not probably . i would 've done whatever it took . adrienne : so there 's no guarantee that we both wo n't screw up . justin : yeah . yeah . adrienne : okay , so ... what do we do ? justin : [ sighs ] you know the thing about where i 'm staying ? adrienne : at the club ? justin : the coffee sucks . adrienne : i 'm outraged . justin : and your coffee 's perfect . so i was thinking about moving back to victor 's house with you . adrienne : for the coffee ? justin : yeah . and the 8 million other things that you do better than anyone else . adrienne : you do a lot of things right too . justin : what if we just start by concentrating on that ? adrienne : we do n't know what lies ahead , justin . we could go off the rails again . justin : but i 'm in if you are . matt : i 'm sorry to hear this . you 've been such a positive presence here . you know , there 's other jobs in the parish , one that does n't involve office work . nicole : no , i -- eric will still see me as his responsibility , and it 's just he 's got too much on his plate . matt : has he talked to you about what 's troubling him ? nicole : yeah , i -- i did what you asked , i stayed out of it . matt : i do think that 's for the best . nicole : me too . matt : well ... what 's in the past is behind us . what matters is the present . nicole : right . matt : well , dear ... we 'll miss you around here . nicole : thank you . i 'll miss being here too . rafe : it 's okay , you do n't have to do that . i 'm all right . jordan : sorry . nervous habit . so that , uh -- that woman was the wife , right ? the man who came in here with the razor ? rafe : was her husband . yeah . she was a good wife too , good mother . did n't do anything wrong , as far as i know . yeah . only fault was not seeing that her husband was a dirty cop and was cheating on her . jordan : yeah , it can be really hard to see something like that about someone you love so much . rafe : yeah . well , all she knows is her husband 's dead and her life 's hell . if she wants to make that my fault , i 'm okay with it . she 's got it worse than i do . stefano : you two have a lot to talk about . sami : okay , so i asked you . the day i was acquitted , i asked you what you did to make that happen , and you did n't mention any of this ! ej : because i wanted you to enjoy your freedom with the children . sami : before you dropped the bomb . do you know what it felt like to walk into our house and to see him standing there ? without any sort of warning , he just -- okay , just -- just wait . just -- abe testified that there had been an anonymous tip . obviously , that was because of stefano . and they only found that razor in bernardi 's girlfriend 's apartment ... because you had to make a deal with that bastard . ej : it was that , or you went to prison for the rest of your life , samantha . i did n't have a choice . sami : so he got his house back . what else did you have to give him ? ej : come on . let 's go and see the children , darling . sami : just tell me . ej : everything . i gave him back everything . marlena : oh , dear . you still have n't found what you 're looking for . well , i would invite you to stay , but , uh , i got a pretty full patient load . plus , i 've got ta get to a meeting outside the office . kristen : okay , well , do n't wait too long . i think between the two of us , we could throw sami and ej a party they 're never gon na forget . marlena : you 're up to something , but it is not a party . eric : what are you doing ? nicole : what does it look like ? eric : did you accept the job offer ? nicole : no . eric : can i ask you a favor ? nicole : sure . eric : sleep on it . just take 24 hours , whatever you -- whatever you do , i 'll go along with what you decide . nicole : okay . but i would like the rest of the day off . eric : you know , i had a thought . are you leaving , so you do n't have to listen to me ask you about what happened that night at the capital ? nicole : no . eric : because every time i bring it up , you always come up with an excuse about how you ca n't talk about it . and now you 're talking about leaving permanently . nicole : i do n't talk about what happened the night at the capital because i do n't know anything , all right ? i just -- i do n't ! eric : then why does it get her so upset ? victor : well , what happened ? marlena : remember telling me that an opportunity would present itself ? victor : mm - hmm . marlena : mm - hmm . i walked into my office , and kristen was sitting behind my desk . [ laughing ] victor : going through it , no doubt . marlena : no doubt ! victor : well , what 'd she say she wanted ? marlena : oh , she wanted us to plan an engagement party for sami and ej . victor : you bring the champagne punch , and she 'll bring the strychnine . you think she 's onto you ? marlena : i do n't know . i told you how clumsy nicole was when she was trying to cover my tracks as i went through kristen 's purse . i think we 'll just have to be very careful from now on . kristen : what the hell ? what took you so long ? sarah : do you have the drive ? the right one , i mean ? kristen : no , but i saw who has it , and they could ruin everything for me . sarah : what are you gon na do ? kristen : whatever it takes . sarah : [ laughs ] i mean , within limits , right ? i mean , it 's not like you 're gon na like , you know , kill anybody . right ? jordan : well , i had you scheduled for an afternoon session , but you were pretty beat up after this morning 's workout . and after what just happened -- rafe : i can do it . i do n't know if you know this , but i wan na get the hell out of here and back on my own two feet again , okay ? i need to be 100 % . there 's somebody i have to deal with . sami : i ca n't believe you had to give him back everything . ej : samantha , i would do it again in a heartbeat . sami : i 'm sorry . ej : do n't be . sami : it happened because of me . ej : no , it did n't , samantha . look , you were the person who happened to take bernardi out , but he was there on my father 's orders . there 's something you should know . the razor blade disappeared on my father 's orders . sami : he was willing to send me to prison for the rest of my life just to get you to do what he wanted ? well , screw him . and who needs this place anyway , right ? let stefano live here in this mausoleum with his whore . you and me and the kids -- as long as we stick together , everything will be fine . so you know what ? the first order of business is gon na be to get as far away from your father as we absolutely can . i never wanted to live here anyway . [ laughs ] ej : samantha , where are you going ? sami : to pack ! we 're packing for more than just an overnight in chicago . come on . ej : i 'm sorry . i ca n't let you do that . | kristen went to visit marlena to look for the flash drive . kristen reminded marlena about the truce they were supposed to have . kristen wanted to plan an engagement party with marlena . when marlena left the office , kristen started snooping for the flash drive . justin and adrienne talked about the problems in their marriage . adrienne wanted to know where they stood . marge went to visit rafe at the hospital and ripped into her for making joe look bad in court . marge reminded rafe that they were friends and he forgot about that because he wanted to protect sami . rafe tried to explain himself , but she did n't want to hear it . she ended up slapping him . jordan walked in and stopped marge from going off on rafe . sami found out that stefano was back at the mansion . sami could n't believe that it was true . ej walked in the room while sami and stefano were talking . | <s>[INST] sami : hey , lucas . i just walked in the door . i have to find sydney 's doll , and then we 'll come meet you at the pub , okay ? well , we ca n't go to chicago for an overnight without that doll . and you 're not gon na tell the kids anything about the trip , right ? yes ! okay , fine . but i 'm going to remind you another 12 times . stefano : no , no , no . it 's not centered . it 's got to be centered . just a little to the left . to the left , that 's it . sami : what the hell are you doing here ? ej : so tell me , what was it like ... to admit , under oath , that you lied for months to keep me from knowing samantha 's carrying my child ? i mean , you , the standard bearer for truth , justice , and the american way . samantha and i could barely stand to listen to it . it must 've been humiliating for you too though , i would imagine . though probably not as humiliating as being stuck in this bed , day after day , like a helpless little child . rafe : amazing . you 're still so threatened by what i had with samantha that you ca n't even enjoy spending time with her . you got ta come here and get in my face . you know what ? i actually pity you . justin : hey ! adrienne : hi . justin : have a seat . adrienne : okay . justin : [ clears throat ] adrienne , thank you for meeting me . adrienne : are you kidding me ? i was just so happy when you called . i know you 're busy , even with sami 's trial being over . i just was hoping -- marge : what are you two doing here , celebrating destroying my family ? eric : what 's wrong ? nicole : nothing . it 's just there 's something i have to do . eric : what is it ? nicole : leave . eric : leave your job ? me ? nicole : it 's not something i planned . i got an offer , and it 's a good one . eric : what kind of an offer ? nicole : well , i , uh , ran into an old friend -- an old producer -- actually , you know , from the days when i was an on - camera personality , you know . and he said they miss my energy , and they want me back . eric : that 's not what i asked . nicole : i think what would make me happy is not being here . victor : judging from your expression and the casual way that you 're handling that thing , i 'm guessing we still have nothing . marlena : victor , to use this , i 've got to get close enough to kristen to download information from her phone . she hates me more than anybody else on the planet . i tried once , i failed . i wo n't get a second chance . you have to accept that , clever as this thing is , it will not get us what we want . kristen : [ sighs ] i want you to dispose of that thing permanently . and when you do , every last trace of that sex tape will be wiped clean . sarah : i would love to help you out , but problem is , this is n't the right flash drive . kristen : what ? sarah : oh , this is n't ... the right ... flash drive . kristen : you 're kidding , right ? sarah : [ laughing ] dead serious . kristen : well , that ca n't be . sarah : i 'm sorry , but it is n't . kristen : wait , i do n't understand . this is flash drive that you gave me . sarah : it looks a lot like it , but i 'm the one who edited the phone video of you and that dude going at it , and i 'm the one who loaded it on the drive , and that is a micro usb . kristen : okay , you must be mistaken . i 've only been in possession of one flash drive this entire time , and this is the one . marlena : i love brady . you know i do . but my kids are going through some stuff right now , and i 've got ta be there . i ca n't be running around , playing amateur spy . victor : sami has been acquitted . what 's the problem ? marlena : it 's eric . he 's going through something , and he wo n't talk about it . victor : he 's a priest . he can talk directly to god about whatever it is . marlena : wow . wow ! wow ! you do n't understand . victor : oh , of course i do . you 're ready to bail on a situation where you can do some real good , so you can sit around home , waiting for your son the priest to decide to confide in his mommy . marlena : i love the sensitive way you have with looking at painful situations . victor : i am looking at a calendar . and we are soon about to run out of time with still no way to stop this travesty of a wedding ! kristen : take another look . sarah : [ sighs ] kristen : you could be wrong , right ? have you ever been wrong , ever , once in your life ? not even one time ? sarah : i 'm not wrong in this case . this is n't the same drive . kristen : look , i think you 're just trying to be difficult . sarah : if you want , i could show you . kristen : but if the video is n't on here , then ... that means it 's out there . it 's -- marlena : i found it on the ground . i was about to return it to you . kristen : oh , my god . some love to pretend . nicole : you gave me a job when i did n't know what to do . and i will never forget that . but i just -- i just think i really need to move on . eric : why ? nicole : oh , come on . it 's not really that big of a deal . you can find another assistant , one that probably wo n't give you as much lip as i do . eric : i like working with you . you know , every morning , i look forward to seeing you . nicole : do n't say that . eric : why not ? nicole : maybe i should be honest with you . eric : about what ? stop being so hesitant with me . nicole : it 's just that you -- you mean the world to me , and i am so afraid that what i 'm about to tell you is gon na turn you against me permanently . kristen : i knew it . i knew it ! they were up to something . i knew nicole was not drunk . sarah : what ? kristen : see , she was in on this with marlena . sarah : who 's marlena ? what are you blabbing about ? kristen : you know what i need you to do ? you just stay available , okay ? because i got ta handle something on my own , and i need some time . so you stay available for me . do you understand that ? sarah : whatever you say . you have my number . kristen : okay , so marlena has it , marlena has it . why has n't she done anything with it ? maybe she 's waiting for exactly the right time to use it against me . maybe she does n't know what she has . either way , she has n't used it ! so i still have time , and there 's still hope . oh , god ! marlena : why do i have to go skulking around ... stealing information ? is n't that your area of expertise ? i 'm a psychiatrist , for god 's sake , not an electronics wizard . victor : that 's why it has to be you . your inexperience works in our favor . marlena : i know nothing about flash drives . all i know is i wrote the book on kristen . and if she sees me anywhere near her , her defenses will be way up . victor : would it help if i said please ? marlena : oh , you could hire a 15-year - old computer wiz . victor : he would n't be family . that 's why we have to do this . we have to bring her down ourselves . marlena : what do you mean -- what is this `` we `` ? victor : just hold on to that drive . look for an opportunity , and i guarantee you one will present itself . justin : i ca n't tell you how sorry i am for what you had to go through , i really am . marge : do n't you lie to me . you do n't give a damn about me . you and ej dimera crucified my husband so that the woman who murdered him could go free . all timmy and i had was our memories of a good man , and you blew that to pieces . adrienne : marge , let 's just go somewhere quiet and talk about this . marge : why , because you 're too embarrassed to hear about all this in public ? huh ? because you should be . i thought you were a nice woman . but you were part of it . adrienne : no ! marge : yeah . you were perfect , right down to the problems in your marriage . but you were working his side of it all along , were n't you ? adrienne : no , that 's not how it was , merge . justin : she 's telling the truth . marge : come on . you knew that video that led to sami brady being charged was gon na come out no matter what . so you cooked up a scheme to be the one who brought it to the special prosecutor . adrienne : no , i did n't do that . marge : he wanted you to look like you were on my side . justin : mrs. bernardi , your imagination is running wild . adrienne is not your enemy . marge : i had to send timmy to be with his grandparents . i had to protect him from all of these lies about his daddy . and i should be with him , but i stayed here to make people listen to the truth about my joe . adrienne : oh , god . justin : the truth about your joe came out in the courtroom . marge : do n't you dare say that to me . i got in your way , did n't i ? but you and the dimeras , you had a job to do , and you got it done . you ruined my life . you 've ruined my son 's life . adrienne : marge , please . marge : no , no . no . but i 'm not gon na give up . people need to know the truth about joe and all of you . sami : we should 've burned that thing . we wo n't make the same mistake twice . stefano : samantha , my advice to you is to calm down . sami : oh , we 're sharing advice now , are we ? well , my advice to you is to get some more life insurance . i think cecily 's going to need it . she 's got too many miles under her belt too hook another sucker . do you know what 's gon na happen to you when ej finds out you 're here ? stefano : yeah . what 's gon na happen is it 's gon na be like a holiday , you see ? you 're free , and you 're not being blamed for any wrong - doing . so you 're gon na spend the rest of your life with your new husband your children . sami : we will be celebrating , but not with you . i 'll damned if i celebrate anything with the man who tried to throw me in prison for the rest of my life ! ej : look , i did n't come here to harass you , i just came here to do the decent thing and let you know that samantha and i are going to be married soon . rafe : oh , really ? and i would care why ? ej : rafe , you do care . nobody really believes that one of my father 's rejects has taken samantha 's place in your heart . rafe : is that your crappy way of referring to kate ? ej : it is , actually . rafe : leave her out of this . ej : okay . well , i certainly would n't want my news to interfere with your recovery . all of those self - help books do say that positive mental attitude is the key , even in the case of such demoralizing circumstances . rafe : why do n't you go home to your bride - to - be , hmm ? maybe you two will actually make it through the wedding this time . ej : hmm . rafe : go on to that happy life . that is of course if she does n't decide to try and blow your head off again . ej : you have been a thorn in my side since the day you came into this town . but that 's over . my only regret is that samantha was n't elsewhere when bernardi came into your room . rafe : yeah , you would 've liked that , would n't you , if he was able to slit my throat ? ej : throat ? that 's hysterical . [ clears throat ] do you know what bernardi was going to do with his little razor blade ? he came here to put your junk in a box , so to speak . you should thank samantha . she saved you from the ultimate humiliation . what a pity . rafe : [ grunts ] [ insects chirping ] sami : you know what ? i 'm gon na give you 30 seconds to take that monstrosity and get out ! and then i am calling ej . stefano : go ahead . sami : excuse me ? stefano : you call up your beloved . tell him that i am here . see how surprised he really is . sami : [ scoffs ] are you kidding me ? when ej finds out that you are in his house , he 's go -- no . oh , my god . stefano : [ laughing ] by george , she got it ! ha ha ! ej : my goodness , rafe . either you 're making amazing progress , or you were faking your little performance in the courtroom to gain some sympathy . rafe : i keep telling myself that sami deserves you , but really , no one deserves to spend the rest of their life with scum like you . [ phone ringing ] ej : that 's probably just the hospital wondering where i am . i have a board meeting to get to . please do n't let me stop you from your little rant . rafe : oh . trouble in paradise ? hope so . marge : hey , ej ! ej dimera ! oh , my god . they got to you too , did n't they ? nicole : you know , when you told me that you were a priest , i thought , ooh , you are never gon na make it . but i was wrong . and i respect you , and i look up to you , and i am in awe of what you 've made of yourself . eric : do n't do this . nicole : but now there 's something standing between us , and i can not get past it . i ca n't . i thought i could , but i ca n't . eric : nicole , just -- nicole , just tell me . tell me , and maybe we can try to work this out . nicole : not this one . fine , you know what ? it 's -- it 's kristen . eric : what ? it 's kristen and brady . eric : you are leaving because of them ? nicole : you know how much brady means to me . eric : and you know how much brady means to me too . nicole : that woman is going to ruin his life . and they had this crazy idea of getting married here , and you did n't say no ? you went along with it ? eric : okay , nicole -- nicole : and now you 're going through pre - cana with them like they 're some kind of normal couple , and you 're putting your stamp of approval on their marriage , and -- okay , you know what ? i 'm sure that you have your reasons , and you 're just doing what you think is best . but i can not sit here and type and file and watch you condone a relationship that i know is gon na end up just hurting the guy that i care about . so now i have to do what i think is best . eric : would it change your mind if i told you i did this to find out what 's really going on between them ? nicole : sometimes , you have to do what is right , even if it hurts . do you understand ? eric : yes , i am trying to ! i am working with brady and kristen because my training tells me that there may be hope . nicole : your training . your training is wrong . in this case , it is wrong , dead wrong ! marlena : moonlighting as a locksmith , are you ? kristen : i think for everyone 's sake , we should have a little talk . why do n't you pull up a chair ? 3q it 's time to change the way we clean . kristen : you 're not sitting . marlena : i do n't need to . you wo n't be staying that long . kristen : well , that depends on you . we have a situation to deal with . marlena : a situation ? kristen : please do n't be coy with me . i mean , it is me sitting here . marlena : i have no idea what you want . kristen : okay , well , you know that , uh -- that truce that you offered me a few weeks ago ? marlena : [ laughs ] what , are you kidding ? kristen : no ! not at all . oh , sami 's been cleared , and she 's going on with her plans to marry my brother . i 'm marrying brady . we 're going to be family . so i thought it would be amazing if we could collaborate together on an engagement party . marlena : you want us to plan a party . kristen : yeah . marlena : together ? kristen : yes , absolutely . chad and sonny , they converted their coffeehouse into a fantastic club . it would be a great space for it . marlena : so that 's what this is all about . kristen : yeah . what else would it be about ? [ phone ringing ] marlena : dr. evans . no , no , it 's okay . i 'll do it right now . thanks . well ... sorry . i 've got ta step out for a moment , so we can do this some other time . kristen : that 's okay , you go do your thing , and i 'll wait right here for you . justin : how are you holding up ? adrienne : i 'm okay , i guess . justin : you certainly did n't deserve any of that . i understand how she feels . if anybody had come after you the way you went after joe bernardi -- but that would never happen . because you 're a very good man , justin . and joe bernardi did the things you said he did . justin : well , she just did n't wan na face that . she was looking for someone to blame . adrienne : mm . but i 'm not blameless . i screwed up big - time , justin . i should 've come to you right away with that video . justin : adrienne -- adrienne : no , please . let me finish . i was too proud , too stubborn to admit that i 'd done something wrong . [ sighs ] so i said i did n't trust you to look out for sonny . i just -- i do n't know what happened to me . justin : you were worried about my association with ej and sami . and you were right to worry . they misled me every chance they got . adrienne : okay . we 're both a couple of screwups . where do we go from here ? rafe : okay . i know what you 're dealing with right now . marge : did you lie for them ? rafe : who ? marge : the dimeras in court . i saw ej coming from this room . was he here to pay you off ? rafe : okay , listen . you need to sit down , because you 're not thinking straight . marge : you did , did n't you ? you lied . you know , i still have joe 's phone , and i read every text message between you and him . yours always sounded so nice and friendly . you had him thinking you were one of his best friends on the force . and how do you return his friendship ? by lying about him in court so that your slut of an ex - wife -- rafe : listen , listen . you need to stop right now , okay ? i know that you 're going through an awful time . marge : sure , you do . sure , you do , because you helped make it that way . my life is a total wreck ! and it 's all because of sami brady , the dimeras , and you ! rafe : ow ! okay , you just need to just stop , stop . jordan : get away from him right now ! marge : how could you -- jordan : stop it ! stop ! marge : get your hands off me ! get your hands off me ! jordan : stop ! sami : this ca n't be happening . stefano : yet perhaps it is . sami : no . no , you are messing with me . you 've talked your way back into this house , and now you are just trying to talk me into believing that ej was in on it . there is no way that he would make that kind of deal with you without telling me , without warning me . stefano : [ laughs ] well , you two had other things to talk about . sami : you are out of our lives . you are out of this house . ej made sure of that because that is the only way that -- marge : you said you were his friend . jordan : calm down . marge : and then you lied . jordan : okay , get yourself together . marge : how much money did the dimeras give you ? jordan : all right , that 's it . i 'm calling security . rafe : no , do n't . she 's been through enough . there 's no need for security , right , merge ? it 's over , right ? you okay now ? marge : i 'll be going now . rafe : why do n't you sit ? marge ? why do n't you sit , pull yourself together ? marge : you should n't have done that to joe . you said he was your friend . jordan : you okay ? rafe : doing a hell of a lot better than she is . stefano : i 'm sorry about this , elvis , but , uh ... i thought you had told her everything . sami : everything ? stefano : mm . sami : what 's everything ? ej : samantha , i was going to explain this to you tonight in chicago after we put the children to bed . sami : you were taking me out of town to tell me everything . why ? because you thought that when i found out , i would kill him ? ej : no , i just -- i thought that it might be a little easier for you to digest the news . sami : how long have you known ? how long ? ej : since the day you were cleared . eric : you and i have a serious disagreement , and i -- i hear what you 're saying , and ... you , uh -- you 're a permanent fixture here . nicole : great . you can just screw in a 100-watt bulb in my ear , and i 'll light right up . eric : no , no , no . that 's -- you do n't understand . i -- i -- i 'm saying this badly . you -- nicole , we 're a team . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . [ knocking on door ] eric : louise , come in . how are your fractions going ? louise : better . eric : that 's great . louise : sister says that the radiator 's leaking . eric : can you tell the sister that i 'm a bit busy ? and i 'll call the maintenance man . nicole : uh , louise is in sister annabel 's class . you know she 's not gon na settle for the maintenance man . she 'll want you . eric : i 'll be right back . here we go . matt : nicole ? what 's wrong ? nicole : everything . kristen : she has to have it in here someplace . from the way she was acting just now , she does n't have a clue as to what 's on it . god ! if i can just get my hands on it , i 'll be home free . oh , my god ! justin : during the trial , ej pulled every trick in the book to make the evidence go sami 's way . adrienne : so why did n't you quit ? justin : well , the lawyer part of me wanted to , but the husband part of me understood why he was doing it . he was trying to save the woman he loves . and if you or any one of my boys were in that kind of trouble , i would 've probably broke the rules too . not probably . i would 've done whatever it took . adrienne : so there 's no guarantee that we both wo n't screw up . justin : yeah . yeah . adrienne : okay , so ... what do we do ? justin : [ sighs ] you know the thing about where i 'm staying ? adrienne : at the club ? justin : the coffee sucks . adrienne : i 'm outraged . justin : and your coffee 's perfect . so i was thinking about moving back to victor 's house with you . adrienne : for the coffee ? justin : yeah . and the 8 million other things that you do better than anyone else . adrienne : you do a lot of things right too . justin : what if we just start by concentrating on that ? adrienne : we do n't know what lies ahead , justin . we could go off the rails again . justin : but i 'm in if you are . matt : i 'm sorry to hear this . you 've been such a positive presence here . you know , there 's other jobs in the parish , one that does n't involve office work . nicole : no , i -- eric will still see me as his responsibility , and it 's just he 's got too much on his plate . matt : has he talked to you about what 's troubling him ? nicole : yeah , i -- i did what you asked , i stayed out of it . matt : i do think that 's for the best . nicole : me too . matt : well ... what 's in the past is behind us . what matters is the present . nicole : right . matt : well , dear ... we 'll miss you around here . nicole : thank you . i 'll miss being here too . rafe : it 's okay , you do n't have to do that . i 'm all right . jordan : sorry . nervous habit . so that , uh -- that woman was the wife , right ? the man who came in here with the razor ? rafe : was her husband . yeah . she was a good wife too , good mother . did n't do anything wrong , as far as i know . yeah . only fault was not seeing that her husband was a dirty cop and was cheating on her . jordan : yeah , it can be really hard to see something like that about someone you love so much . rafe : yeah . well , all she knows is her husband 's dead and her life 's hell . if she wants to make that my fault , i 'm okay with it . she 's got it worse than i do . stefano : you two have a lot to talk about . sami : okay , so i asked you . the day i was acquitted , i asked you what you did to make that happen , and you did n't mention any of this ! ej : because i wanted you to enjoy your freedom with the children . sami : before you dropped the bomb . do you know what it felt like to walk into our house and to see him standing there ? without any sort of warning , he just -- okay , just -- just wait . just -- abe testified that there had been an anonymous tip . obviously , that was because of stefano . and they only found that razor in bernardi 's girlfriend 's apartment ... because you had to make a deal with that bastard . ej : it was that , or you went to prison for the rest of your life , samantha . i did n't have a choice . sami : so he got his house back . what else did you have to give him ? ej : come on . let 's go and see the children , darling . sami : just tell me . ej : everything . i gave him back everything . marlena : oh , dear . you still have n't found what you 're looking for . well , i would invite you to stay , but , uh , i got a pretty full patient load . plus , i 've got ta get to a meeting outside the office . kristen : okay , well , do n't wait too long . i think between the two of us , we could throw sami and ej a party they 're never gon na forget . marlena : you 're up to something , but it is not a party . eric : what are you doing ? nicole : what does it look like ? eric : did you accept the job offer ? nicole : no . eric : can i ask you a favor ? nicole : sure . eric : sleep on it . just take 24 hours , whatever you -- whatever you do , i 'll go along with what you decide . nicole : okay . but i would like the rest of the day off . eric : you know , i had a thought . are you leaving , so you do n't have to listen to me ask you about what happened that night at the capital ? nicole : no . eric : because every time i bring it up , you always come up with an excuse about how you ca n't talk about it . and now you 're talking about leaving permanently . nicole : i do n't talk about what happened the night at the capital because i do n't know anything , all right ? i just -- i do n't ! eric : then why does it get her so upset ? victor : well , what happened ? marlena : remember telling me that an opportunity would present itself ? victor : mm - hmm . marlena : mm - hmm . i walked into my office , and kristen was sitting behind my desk .

[ scene_break ] bo : what is it ? dean : it 's a list of abductions that follow the same pattern of ciara 's . i did some research earlier , sir . it 's possible that the same kidnapper we 're dealing with now was involved in these parallel cases . and it looks as though that in each case , the perpetrator was only after the money . hope : and the child was returned once the money was received . dean : right . hope : then it 's settled . we get another call , we go through with it . we give the kidnappers exactly what they want , and we get our daughter back .

[ scene_break ] bo : this is my daughter 's life we 're talking about here , justin . paying that ransom would n't have gotten her back . justin : bo , i 'm not accusing you of anything . it 's just , you said you know that ciara would die if you gave -- bo : you know what , do n't question me about this ! this is my child . and no , i do n't know what to do right now . all i know is what not to do . that 's all i can tell you . hope : you keep saying she 's your daughter . she 's my daughter too . she 's our daughter . bo : hope ... hope : stop ! do n't ! do n't . do n't you dare try to placate me when our daughter 's being held by criminals , and the one chance i may have had of getting her back was taken from me . bo : that 's just the thing . you would n't have gotten her back . you -- she would have been lost to us forever . do n't you get that ? hope : do n't you get that it 's all in your head and may have no basis in reality ? you 've been wrong before . you 're not infallible . bo : i never said i was . but for me to ignore what came to me -- hope : okay , fine . you felt like you could n't ignore it , you did n't , you made the decision . and here we are , back to square one without our daughter . so now what ? what do we do ? you got a plan ? anything ? aside from what not to do ? bo : i 'm doing the best i can right now . hope : if the kidnappers call again , and the drop - off point is different , can i pay them the ransom then ? bo : the drop - off point is irrelevant . hope : oh , god . bo : it 's about the ransom . we 're not giving them any money . ever .

[ scene_break ] bo : what is it ? dean : it 's a list of abductions that follow the same pattern of ciara 's . i did some research earlier , sir . it 's possible that the same kidnapper we 're dealing with now was involved in these parallel cases . and it looks as though that in each case , the perpetrator was only after the money . hope : and the child was returned once the money was received . dean : right . hope : then it 's settled . we get another call , we go through with it . we give the kidnappers exactly what they want , and we get our daughter back .

billy : yeah . everything 's fine . jack : okay . go . go . do what you got to do . summer : oh , good . you 're both here . billy : uh , i 'm on my way out , actually . summer : no , do n't leave yet , because i have an idea that i want to pitch , and i think you are really gon na get it . jack : sounds like you do n't think i will . summer : no . uh , you 're just going to have to think outside the box . jack : i think maybe i could pull that off . summer : alright . so , picture this -- me as an influencer . i 'd be going to clubs , music festivals , concerts , red - carpet events . billy : basically just living your life ? summer : yes , but i would be wearing , using , and promoting all of our products , getting even more buzz going for jcv . jack : what about your job here at jabot ? summer : i would still keep it . i mean , this is just a side gig for me to do on the weekends and at night , and it 's not gon na take very long for me to build an online presence . i mean , i really think that this could work to our advantage . the more followers that i get , then -- billy : more sales for us . summer : yeah . win - win . jack : most influencers promote lots of brands . that could create unwanted competition . summer : no , you 're right . i mean , i would be working with other companies , but , i mean , if i choose products that complement rather that compete with ours , it could really work . i mean , we could do some cross - promotions with some of my other sponsors , even . billy : i think it has potential . jack : i agree , but why you ? i mean , there are plenty of influencers out there , some of them already pushing collective products . summer : no , you are right . but with me , you would have full control , and i think that i could do a better job than anybody else out there . jack : and what makes you think that ? summer : because an expert in the field told me . jack : his name would n't be theo , would it ? summer : is there a problem ? paul : come on , chris . let 's go . christine : no , it 's okay . yes , victor , i will be making an announcement on tv today . i 'm sure you 've heard your lawsuit 's been settled . victor : yeah . my attorney just called me . christine : no need to watch my press conference , then . victor : oh , i would n't miss it for anything ... although you deserve far more than public humiliation for what you put my wife and my daughter through . paul : look , you got your victory . let this be the end of it . victor : no , paul . let it not be the end of it . christine deserves to be in a jail cell . paul : victor , i am warning -- christine : he 's allowed to his opinion , even if it 's wrong . victor : i 'm not the only one who thinks that you 're responsible for the most egregious miscarriage of justice . cristine : victor , you act as if you 've beaten me , but i guarantee you , by the end of the day , i will be the real winner . victor : oh ! i can hardly wait . my arling , let us go . i hate being around delusional people . christine : [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] nick : vick , i appreciate your concern , but i got this . victoria : look , you ca n't blame me for being worried when it comes to chelsea . nick : well , if you heard her talking about adam earlier , you would have no question about her feelings for him . victoria : i 'm sure she meant every word , but our brother has a way of sucking her back in . nick : not this time . there 's too much at stake . victoria : nicholas ... just forget about adam for one minute . i want you to tell me what 's really going on here . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm asking to borrow the jet . victoria : you know what i mean . nick : what do you want me to say ? victoria : i want the truth ! nick : okay , fine . my friend 's world got blown up last night . she is devastated . and she has a little boy that 's gon na need a lot of love and support . so if you wo n't do this for me or for chelsea , then do it for him . victoria : hey . prep the jet . my brother 's taking a trip . are you a sunrise cycle snacker ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jack : i was n't aware you were getting career advice from theo . summer : yeah . he offered . jack : did he ? summer : he has got lots of experience with social influencers , and devon just hired him to consult at lp . jack : sounds like he 's got a lot of irons in the fire . summer : yeah , but you did n't seem to mind that when you hired him to create brand awareness . jack : i just do n't want to see you getting in over your head . summer : you 're right . i have never done this before . but when theo mentioned it , it just felt like a natural fit . i mean , what do you think ? billy : i 'm good with it . it 's up to him . summer : can we just try it ? jack : [ sighs ] given your instincts , i 'd be an idiot to say no . summer : ah ! thank you ! jack : [ groans ] summer : thank you , thank you ! okay . i 'm gon na call theo . we will get started . this is gon na be great . so , what are you not saying about theo ? jack : oh , he 's got a stellar résumé . there 's no doubt about it . billy : okay . then what is it ? jack : in new york , he and kyle got very close , and , boy , they got into a lot of trouble . i just -- i think kyle 's out of that phase . billy : you do n't think theo is . jack : i think the jury 's still out , and i do n't want to see her get too tied up with that guy . billy : jack , summer is an adult . if she ... makes a mistake , she 's gon na have to deal with it . jack : i ca n't just let her fend for herself . billy : i hear you , and i know you care about her , but you 're not her father . that 's nick . paul : ready , champ ? christine : as i 'll ever be . paul : well , let 's go knock 'em dead . christine : um ... i need to do this alone . paul : you sure ? christine : positive . paul : no second thoughts ? christine : you 're not gon na talk me out of this . paul : well , you ca n't blame a guy for trying . christine : i 'll be fine . paul : i know you will . christine : [ sighs ] showtime . paul : okay . i 'll be watching . christine : okay . nick : well , i should get going . chelsea 's very anxious to see connor . victoria : tell chelsea i 'm sorry . nick : i will . thanks again for everything . victoria : let me know if there 's anything else i can do . nick : you know , you 've done more than enough already . in fact , i just thought of a way that i can repay you . victoria : no , nicholas . that 's not necessary . nick : fine . if you do n't want to hear of a way that you can one - up adam ... victoria : wait . whoa , whoa , whoa . hold on one second . you ca n't say something like that and think that you 're gon na leave . nick : you just said you were n't interested . victoria : spill . nick : alright . the last deal i closed when i was with dark horse was with baxley . victoria : wow . they 're big - time players in the real - estate industry . nick : one of the biggest in the state . victoria : that 's quite a coup , partnering with them . nick : it was a tough negotiation , a lot of mistrust on both sides . victoria : but you were able to agree to terms ? nick : we did . they 're building a $ 115 million high - rise for us . i mean ... dark horse . victoria : that 's a very big investment . you must have been confident that it would pay off . nick : it will ... assuming nothing comes up . victoria : such as ? nick : what i 'm saying is if the project were to hit any snags -- you know , like a ... time delay or some permit issues , it would be a very big problem for dark horse . victoria : that would be a shame , would n't it ? nick : yeah . and , of course , you did n't hear any of this from me . victoria : and , of course , you did n't hear from me that if i do happen to get dark horse away from adam , i 'm gon na need someone to run it -- someone with experience . nick : well , good luck with that . i 've got enough to focus on right now . victoria : [ sighs ] that 's what worries me . nick : i love you . victoria : love you . billy : nick . nick : billy . victoria : hi . billy : everything okay ? victoria : i hope so . hey . billy : hi . victoria : i was n't expecting you . billy : yeah , i know . something came up . it 's about your dad . jack : hi . mallory : hi . i was n't sure you were gon na make it . jack : oh , my little brother 's playing hooky . i figured , `` why ca n't i ? `` mallory : ah . if i did n't get out of that care facility for a few hours , i was gon na lose -- i should n't have said that . jack : you do n't have to apologize . believe me , i understand . mallory : i know you do . jack : you 're carrying a lot . if i had to shoulder the burden of my mother 's failing health all by myself , i do n't know what i 'd do . mallory : i try to spend as much time as i can with my dad ... even though most days he does n't know me . [ sighs ] my kids ask why i keep coming back . jack : what do you tell them ? mallory : `` dad does n't know me , but i know him . `` jack : yeah . a little hard forgetting who they really were . mallory : i look at him , and i still see the same man whose first words to me after i totaled his car were , `` are you okay ? `` he 's still the same man who worked two jobs to put me through college ... put aside his own grief when my mother died to comfort me . i could always count on him . he said it was a privilege to be there for me . it was his job . jack : sounds like a great guy . sounds a lot like my dad . mallory : [ chuckles softly ] he was so proud ... so strong and independent . now ... now it 's my turn to be there for him . jack : for what it 's worth , i think you 're doing an amazing job . mallory : is it awful i wish i had a little bit of my life back ? jack : no . i think we all feel that way sometimes . billy : i did n't confirm jack 's suspicion . i just thought you should know what he heard , and i 'm sure it 's nothing . victoria : or it could be something -- something serious . billy : he forgot one thing . i would n't stress about it . victoria : normally , i would n't , but he and mom told us the other day the possible side effects to his new treatment -- mom slipped in `` confusion . `` billy : okay . well , there you go . that makes sense , then . victoria : dad acted like it was n't a big deal , billy . billy : 'cause it probably was n't , vick . victoria : yes , but i could tell he was worried about it . billy : well , i 'm sure that has more to do with being embarrassed . he 's a proud man . victoria : i just did n't think that it would happen this fast over something so simple . billy : hey , come on . i mean , think about it . how many times have one of us forgot something as simple as paying a check ? victoria : yeah . he must hate this . you know if jack knows ? billy : no . okay , first of all , jack does n't know , and , second of all , he would never use this against your dad . victoria : [ scoffs ] the two of them live to hurt each other . billy : i know that , but not like this . okay ? he knows how devastating memory loss can be . victoria : you do n't think that dad will end up like ... billy : no . i don't . i think this is a side effect of the treatment , and once he 's done with the treatment , he 'll go back to being himself , spreading doom and gloom everywhere he goes . [ knock on door ] victoria : i 'm just so worried about him . that 's all . victor : you 're worried about who ? chelsea : you 're back . & nick : yeah . where 's summer ? chelsea : she left . nick : i told her to stay here . chelsea : it 's fine . i was awake . nick : okay . did you get some sleep ? chelsea : a little . nick : if you need to rest your eyes some more -- chelsea : what i actually need is to go see connor , and i know you said you would come with me , but i 'm just gon na go alone . nick : no , no . you do n't have to . chelsea : it 's fine . i 've already been looking at flights and everything . nick : well , i already arranged for the newman jet to take us . chelsea : [ sighs ] you did n't have to do that . nick : well , i wanted to . and i understand this impulse to want to handle this situation on your own , but i 'm more than willing ... to come with you if that 's what you want . chelsea : [ sighs ] nick : what ? chelsea : are n't you worried ... about how it will look if you come with me ? nick : not at all . chelsea : if adam finds out -- nick : i do n't care what adam thinks , or anyone else , for that matter . this is our business . so , do you want me to come with you or not ? chelsea : i do . jack : so , traci and i take turns visiting mother . ashley makes regular trips in from paris , and when the three of us ca n't make it , abby and kyle fill in . mallory : oh , that 's nice . that allows all of you to have time for other things . jack : yeah . traci finished her book . mallory : [ gasps ] that 's exciting ! when 's it coming out ? jack : it 's a process -- her words . i 'll let you know when i have a real answer . mallory : oh , it 's amazing she was able to focus on something that takes up so much time and energy . making dinner is a challenge for me . jack : [ chuckles ] yeah . we 're all there to support her . mallory : oh . i do n't know how writers do it . i ca n't imagine typing up a whole novel . and traci 's written how many ? jack : uh ... i 've lost count . this particular novel , she 's had , uh , extra inspiration . mallory : you ? jack : for her romantic lead ? no , no . she has a new guy in her life , i believe , and he 's worked his way into her book . mallory : ah . and her heart ? jack : possibly . mallory : i would think you 'd be happy for her . jack : traci 's special , and this guy comes with a lot of baggage . mallory : oh , what -- he 's not good enough for your little sister ? jack : i 'm not sure anybody is . mallory : [ chuckles ] wow . you sound like my dad . jack : yeah . with traci , maybe i am old - school . mallory : that 's sweet . but does this man make her happy ? jack : traci is happier than i 've seen her in a very long time . mallory : [ gasps ] so ? jack : so , you 're right . you 're right . who am i to deprive her of that ? when you manage to find happiness , you grab on to it , right ? mallory : i agree . victor : what were you worried about ? billy : uh , it 's nothing . it 's , uh -- it 's johnny at camp . he 's having a little bit of a hard time . nikki : he 's not being bullied , is he ? billy : no , no . it 's just some kid stuff . he 's gon na be fine . victoria : how are you feeling ? victor : i feel great ! victoria : so , everything 's going okay ? there 's no problems with the treatment ? victor : no ! what does it look like ? victoria : you seem to be in high spirits . victor : i 'm in excellent spirits . i was just awarded a huge settlement from the city . victoria : oh . your lawsuit . victor : that 's right . christine williams is about to make an announcement . as a matter of fact , right now . kindly bring it up on the laptop , okay ? victoria : of course . victor : sorry , sweetheart . nikki : mm - hmm . [ camera shutter clicks ] christine : i 'm district attorney christine williams , and i have a statement to make about the lawsuit that 's currently pending against my office and the g.c.p.d . paul : can you turn this up , please ? christine : my statement is the only time that i will address this issue , and i will not be taking any questions at the end . the city attorney , in conjunction with the mayor 's office , has determined that it would n't be prudent to spend taxpayer dollars on a lawsuit which may not be won . therefore , it 's been decided that we will not contest mr . newman 's claim that the g.c.p.d . and the d.a . 's office acted in a negligent manner which resulted in emotional distress to mr . newman and his family . a financial settlement has been reached . as of today , the d.a . 's office and the g.c.p.d . consider this matter officially closed . [ camera shutters clicking ] there 's something else i 'd like to add . um ... after ... much consideration , i 've reached a decision , a personal decision , that i will finish out my term as d.a . but i will not be seeking re - election . jack : what ? ! victor : good . christine : it has been my privilege to serve this great city , but it 's time for me to move on and explore other possibilities . [ camera shutters clicking ] i 'd like to thank the people of & genoa city for this amazing opportunity . i have done my best to keep the city safe . i do n't think anyone in this position ever feels that they 've accomplished all they set out to do . but i hope my successor will follow in my footsteps and ... fight for what 's just and fair . thank you . [ camera shutter clicks ] jack : hey . give her my best . paul : i will . thanks , jack . [ cellphone rings ] yeah ? chief williams . calvin boudreaux . right . what did the autopsy show ? nick : hey , pete . it 's nick . i , uh , just wanted to check in and make sure everything 's lined up and we 're ready to go . oh , perfect . we 're on our way . we 'll see you soon . jet 's ready to go . chelsea : finally . sorry . i - i did n't mean it like that . i just want to get this over with . nick : yeah , no . it 's okay . we 're gon na be there before you know it . i got it . chelsea : you sure ? nick : yeah . you focus on connor . i 'll take care of everything else . chelsea : thank you . | summer persudes jack to let her be the newest jabot collective influencer although he tells billy that he worries she is getting to involved with theo who is too much of a party boy . billy reminds jack that summer is a grown woman and he is n't her father that is nick and nick should be the one to worry about her . jack sees victor and nikki at society and notices that victor forgot that he had already paifd the check and he tels billy but he downplays the incident then heads to newman enterprises to tell victoria . victor gets news from the city that they have decides to settle his lawsuit against the da 's office and the police department for an undisclosed amount of money . jack has lunch with mallory and they talk about their parents and their illness as well as the rest of their family . jack thinks that when people find happiness they should grab it . summer and victoria worry that nick is getting too involved with chelsea again and he will get hurt but nick insists to both of them that he is just being supportive to a friend . summer warns chelsea not to take advantage of nicks good heart or hurt him again . nick asks victoria if he can borrow the newman jet so that he and chelsea can go to connor 's summer camp to break the news to him about the death of his step father . nick and chelsea later get on the plane to talk to connor and chelsea seems like she wants to leave town in a hurry . paul gets a call and the person on the phone tells him the results of calvin 's autopsy . christine has a press conference to announce the city 's settlement with victor and she shocks everyone by announcing that she wo n't be seekking relection as da . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] victor : apparently , there 's a new drug that they 're experimenting with , but there are risks . nick : such as ? victor : diminished mental capacity . chelsea : [ crying ] thank god . i did n't know who else to call . [ crying ] i need to tell connor . it 's gon na break his heart . i mean , he loved him so much . nick : this is n't something you should have to handle by yourself . victor : so , now , what exactly do you think i 'm up to ? i mean , your accusation is rather vague . christine : your lawsuit against the d.a . 's office and the g.c.p.d . victor : do you think it might have had to do with the bungled investigation of the j.t . hellstrom case ? christine : no , victor . it was a specious lawsuit about something that was put to bed months ago . victor : it may be in your rearview mirror , christine , but ai n't in mine ! paul : hey . christine : hey . paul : a beauty for a beauty . christine : thank you . paul : you 're welcome . you know , i saw that , and i thought of you , but now seeing you holding it ... that poor little rose pales in comparison . christine : oh , gosh . you 're sweet . paul : nah , just honest . so , what are you doing -- waiting for a verdict ? christine : no , not -- not that . paul : okay . then why is your phone more interesting than ... your incredibly charming , fascinating , good - looking , thoughtful husband ? christine : any minute , this phone is gon na ring , and [ sighs ] it 's gon na be bad news . summer : what 's going on ? nikki : well , this has been very nice . i ca n't remember the last time we had a long , leisurely lunch . victor : come here . spending time with my beautiful wife is definitely one of the perks of stepping back from my job . nikki : [ chuckles ] ca n't deny you miss it , though -- ruling the world . victor : no . nikki : at least the world of newman enterprises . victor : baby , i love spending time with you . i love it . nikki : well , you 're still the charmer . victor : what should we do ? should we go for a walk in the park , maybe , or go for a ride ? nikki : darling , as long as i 'm with you , anything is fine . victor : let me get the check . where 's the server , for heaven 's sake ? nikki : um ... victor : need to talk to abby about service around here . nikki : darling ... victor : oh . nikki : ... you already paid it . victor : i did already pay for it ? my goodness . i forgot . i did . jack : hello , nikki . victor . nikki : hi , jack . victor : jack . i 'm spending a wonderfully romantic hour at lunch with my beautiful wife . do you mind ? jack : i do n't mind at all . victor : good . jack : nikki . nikki : bye . victor : thank you . billy : how 's your cotton - candy hangover ? victoria : sugar is not my friend , but the carnival was just the break we needed . billy : yeah . it was -- it was fun . victoria : you seemed a little restless last night . billy : yeah , sorry . i hope i did n't wake you up . victoria : is everything okay ? billy : yeah , everything 's fine . i just wanted to tell you that , um , your dad is here with your mom . victoria : oh . how does he look ? billy : i would n't want to be his waiter . victoria : billy ! billy : he looks okay . you know , typical -- looking to go a few rounds . victoria : i 'm glad . thank you for letting me know . billy : uh , listen , jack is just sitting down , so i 'll call you later , okay ? okay , bye . hey . jack : i can not believe what i just witnessed . billy : something wrong ? jack : with me , no . but our friend victor might be losing it a little -- or maybe a lot . nick : [ sighs ] keep your voice down . summer : why ? i did n't raise it , and why do we have to talk in the hall ? nick : because chelsea needs her rest . summer : well , she has to do that here ? nick : i asked her to stay . summer : okay . um , at the risk of getting an answer that 's not gon na make me hurl , why ? nick : her husband died last night . summer : oh , my god . nick : yeah . summer : so , he just died -- like , no warning , nothing ? nick : completely unexpected . summer : what happened ? nick : i guess the guy went to sleep in his suite and just never woke up . we wo n't have any more details until the autopsy comes back . summer : that 's awful . i still ca n't -- nick : what ? summer : noth -- nick : what ? summer : it 's been a long time since chelsea left town , so it 's a little weird seeing you like that with her . nick : like what -- caring ? summer : oh , okay . come on . that looked like a lot more than that . nick : she just lost her husband , summer . summer : i am not downplaying her situation . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm not gon na let our bad breakup stop me from comforting her if she needs it . summer : okay , look , i get that , but there is a huge difference between comforting and longing for the past . nick : i am not longing for the past . summer : yeah , okay . nick : chelsea is a friend and nothing more , and , frankly , she does n't have a lot of those left in town , so if she needs a shoulder to lean on , i 'm gon na be there for her . summer : yeah , i guess so . nick : just do me a favor and just stay here for a while . summer : what , you want me to babysit her ? nick : yes . please . summer : why ? where are you going ? nick : i need to go ask your aunt victoria if i can borrow the newman jet . summer : [ chuckles ] yeah , of course you do . nick : what is that supposed to mean ? summer : what , did she beat you into taking her on a vacation so she can recuperate ? nick : no . i 'm gon na take her to connor 's camp so she can tell her son about his stepfather . summer : okay . is n't that adam 's job ? that seems like something adam should be doing . nick : that is 100 % not his job . summer : why ? adam is his father . nick : he had no relationship with chelsea 's husband , so he should not be the messenger in this situation . summer : wow . she has already roped you in . nick : that 's enough , alright ? just stay here , please . i 'll be back . summer : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] there are three words that mean everything additional sponsorship jack : he completely forgot he paid the bill . billy : we 've all done that . jack : yeah , when there 's a lot of people , when there 's been drinking . this is him and his wife in the middle of the day . billy : i think you 're making a big deal out of nothing . jack : i thought there was something strange about him putting victoria in charge at newman right now . billy : no , victoria earned that promotion , jack . jack : i 'm not arguing that . i 'm saying he would n't hand over the reins to anyone unless he had to . no , there 's something going on there . billy : i thought we were getting together to discuss jabot business . jack : you know something . billy : i know that we should be working . jack : spill , little brother . let me know what 's going on . billy : drop it , jack . come on . we got work to do . jack : consider it dropped . nikki : if you want to go home and rest , i understand . victor : no , sweetheart . what , cut the day short ? nikki : are you sure you 're feeling okay ? victor : yeah , i 'm fine . nikki : you do n't have to pretend with me . victor : sweetheart , i forgot one little thing . nothing to be worried about . nikki : so , who 's worried ? victor : right . one second .

[ door slams ] nick : what , are you and billy flying off to jamaica again ? victoria : yes , because we do n't have jobs or children or any other responsibilities . nick : look , if it 's a jet - fuel thing , i 'll pay for it myself . victoria : you 're a newman . you have every right to use the family jet . nick : then what 's the problem ? why ca n't i help chelsea ? victoria : that 's the problem . nick : she just lost her husband , and i want to help her go and tell her son this terrible news . victoria : and i feel for chelsea and for connor , but i do n't think this is something that we should get involved in . nick : you know , maybe you 've forgotten , but if it was n't for chelsea , you would n't even have johnny . victoria : i will never forget that . nick : all the more reason you should want me to do this . victoria : i think you 're leaving one important thing out . connor is adam 's son . nick : he is chelsea 's son . i 'm doing it for her . victoria : i do n't think that adam will see it that way . nick : well , i do n't give a damn about adam . victoria : i do n't think you 're seeing the big picture . chelsea and connor and adam are all tied together . it 's an explosive situation , and she 's drawing you into it . nick : i offered to help . victoria : because that 's what you do . you see people in trouble , and you try to rescue them . that 's who you are . nick : what , are you and summer comparing notes ? victoria : it 's not a bad thing , nicholas . i just -- i do n't want to see you get burned again . nick : look , i 'm trying to help a friend . and chelsea is done with adam . victoria : how many times has she told us that ? nick : she hates what he is trying to do to me . he 's basically doing the same thing to her . before her husband died , he was making all these demands about connor . victoria : and that surprises you ? nick : i mean , the guy 's body was n't even cold and he was pressuring her to get back together with him . she sees what a dirtbag he is . she wants nothing to do with him . victoria : nicholas ... it 's a love - hate relationship . eventually , the pendulum is gon na swing back the other way . and where does that leave you ? jack : hiring two chemists was a big risk , but it looks like it 's gon na pay off . we should have a new line of cosmetics and fragrances by the first of the year . billy : that 's great . jack : have you seen the new jcv numbers ? billy : yeah , i have . jack : i want to discuss those . i got to say -- billy : jack , do you mind if we , uh , table this for now ? jack : you have somewhere you have to be ? billy : something -- something i got to take care of , and it 's , uh , personal , if you do n't mind . jack : everything okay ? billy : yeah . everything 's fine . jack : okay . go . go . do what you got to do . summer : oh , good . you 're both here . billy : uh , i 'm on my way out , actually . summer : no , do n't leave yet , because i have an idea that i want to pitch , and i think you are really gon na get it . jack : sounds like you do n't think i will . summer : no . uh , you 're just going to have to think outside the box . jack : i think maybe i could pull that off . summer : alright . so , picture this -- me as an influencer . i 'd be going to clubs , music festivals , concerts , red - carpet events . billy : basically just living your life ? summer : yes , but i would be wearing , using , and promoting all of our products , getting even more buzz going for jcv . jack : what about your job here at jabot ? summer : i would still keep it . i mean , this is just a side gig for me to do on the weekends and at night , and it 's not gon na take very long for me to build an online presence . i mean , i really think that this could work to our advantage . the more followers that i get , then -- billy : more sales for us . summer : yeah . win - win . jack : most influencers promote lots of brands . that could create unwanted competition . summer : no , you 're right . i mean , i would be working with other companies , but , i mean , if i choose products that complement rather that compete with ours , it could really work . i mean , we could do some cross - promotions with some of my other sponsors , even . billy : i think it has potential . jack : i agree , but why you ? i mean , there are plenty of influencers out there , some of them already pushing collective products . summer : no , you are right . but with me , you would have full control , and i think that i could do a better job than anybody else out there . jack : and what makes you think that ? summer : because an expert in the field told me . jack : his name would n't be theo , would it ? summer : is there a problem ? paul : come on , chris . let 's go . christine : no , it 's okay . yes , victor , i will be making an announcement on tv today . i 'm sure you 've heard your lawsuit 's been settled . victor : yeah . my attorney just called me . christine : no need to watch my press conference , then . victor : oh , i would n't miss it for anything ... although you deserve far more than public humiliation for what you put my wife and my daughter through . paul : look , you got your victory . let this be the end of it . victor : no , paul . let it not be the end of it . christine deserves to be in a jail cell . paul : victor , i am warning -- christine : he 's allowed to his opinion , even if it 's wrong . victor : i 'm not the only one who thinks that you 're responsible for the most egregious miscarriage of justice . cristine : victor , you act as if you 've beaten me , but i guarantee you , by the end of the day , i will be the real winner . victor : oh ! i can hardly wait . my arling , let us go . i hate being around delusional people . christine : [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] nick : vick , i appreciate your concern , but i got this . victoria : look , you ca n't blame me for being worried when it comes to chelsea . nick : well , if you heard her talking about adam earlier , you would have no question about her feelings for him . victoria : i 'm sure she meant every word , but our brother has a way of sucking her back in . nick : not this time . there 's too much at stake . victoria : nicholas ... just forget about adam for one minute . i want you to tell me what 's really going on here . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm asking to borrow the jet . victoria : you know what i mean . nick : what do you want me to say ? victoria : i want the truth ! nick : okay , fine . my friend 's world got blown up last night . she is devastated . and she has a little boy that 's gon na need a lot of love and support . so if you wo n't do this for me or for chelsea , then do it for him . victoria : hey . prep the jet . my brother 's taking a trip . are you a sunrise cycle snacker ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jack : i was n't aware you were getting career advice from theo . summer : yeah . he offered . jack : did he ? summer : he has got lots of experience with social influencers , and devon just hired him to consult at lp . jack : sounds like he 's got a lot of irons in the fire . summer : yeah , but you did n't seem to mind that when you hired him to create brand awareness . jack : i just do n't want to see you getting in over your head . summer : you 're right . i have never done this before . but when theo mentioned it , it just felt like a natural fit . i mean , what do you think ? billy : i 'm good with it . it 's up to him . summer : can we just try it ? jack : [ sighs ] given your instincts , i 'd be an idiot to say no . summer : ah ! thank you ! jack : [ groans ] summer : thank you , thank you ! okay . i 'm gon na call theo . we will get started . this is gon na be great . so , what are you not saying about theo ? jack : oh , he 's got a stellar résumé . there 's no doubt about it . billy : okay . then what is it ? jack : in new york , he and kyle got very close , and , boy , they got into a lot of trouble . i just -- i think kyle 's out of that phase . billy : you do n't think theo is . jack : i think the jury 's still out , and i do n't want to see her get too tied up with that guy . billy : jack , summer is an adult . if she ... makes a mistake , she 's gon na have to deal with it . jack : i ca n't just let her fend for herself . billy : i hear you , and i know you care about her , but you 're not her father . that 's nick . paul : ready , champ ?

nick : we did . they 're building a $ 115 million high - rise for us . i mean ... dark horse . victoria : that 's a very big investment . you must have been confident that it would pay off . nick : it will ... assuming nothing comes up . victoria : such as ? nick : what i 'm saying is if the project were to hit any snags -- you know , like a ... time delay or some permit issues , it would be a very big problem for dark horse . victoria : that would be a shame , would n't it ? nick : yeah . and , of course , you did n't hear any of this from me . victoria : and , of course , you did n't hear from me that if i do happen to get dark horse away from adam , i 'm gon na need someone to run it -- someone with experience . nick : well , good luck with that . i 've got enough to focus on right now . victoria : [ sighs ] that 's what worries me . nick : i love you . victoria : love you . billy : nick . nick : billy . victoria : hi . billy : everything okay ?

abby : mm . well , then you must have proof who broke into your room . have you filed a report with the police ? phyllis : no . i 'm gon na deal with this on my own , with my own personal touch . abby : mm . nice bluff . see , i think if you had any real evidence , you would n't be standing here fishing for information . besides , i do n't know why you 're telling me any of this . phyllis : well , what you do n't know could fill a library . abby : you 're the local genius . right . phyllis : okay , well , i am smart enough to have a backup plan , so why do n't you tell this little tidbit to whoever broke into my room and stole my thumb drive that , um , there 's nothing afer than a safe deposit box , okay ?

billy : [ chuckles ] well , for a few reasons , most importantly the hypocrisy of it all , people celebrating victor like he 's some kind of hero after all the crimes he 's committed , the people he 's stepped on , the lives that he 's destroyed . ashley : yeah , well , he 's a complicated human . billy : yeah . and people judge me . things went lopsided between me and vick , but i 'm always going to love her . and she was trying to get me to leave that night , to not disrupt the party . i should have listened to her . it was dark , and , uh , somebody bumped into her . before i knew it , she was in my arms and i had blood all over my hand . she started to lose color in her face , and i start to freak out . i was screaming for help , yelling at her to stay with me . ashley : i 'm so sorry . that 's horrible . then i got to the hospital , and of course nobody would let me see her . newman started to close ranks . i snuck into a room . i was hoping if i could just apologize to her ... i brought her a picture of the kids , hoping that it would help her . i do n't know . maybe i thought it was gon na help me assuage my own guilty conscience . ashley : well , she is recovering well , is n't she ? so maybe you being there made a difference . billy : i do n't know about that . i , uh , just left her , and she 's pretty clearly blaming me for everything , the look in her eye had a level of disgust that i have n't seen , almost hate . ashley : oh , billy , i do n't think victoria could ever truly hate you . billy : i do n't know about that , ash . i mean , in her mind , she 's linked what 's happened with us and the heartbreak with the stabbing . ashley : well , she 's gon na have to come to terms with what happened to her , is n't she ? billy : i do n't know . maybe you 're right . ashley : well , i think you need something new and exciting in your life , something that makes you want to wake up in the morning . billy : yeah , well , you know , my mom did offer me a job at chancellor heading up the new media division . ashley : take it . billy : i do n't know . ashley : why not ? billy : give me a second . i 'll think of something . ashley : do you always have to make everything so damn difficult for yourself ? ! billy : some people would say yes . ashley : okay , this could be the greatest gamble of your entire lifetime . and you , of all people -- you 're just gon na walk away from the table without playing one single hand ?

[ sighs ] i - i ca n't even put it into words . chloe : oh , i can . kill it with fire . chelsea : he 's made mistakes -- adam . he has . horrible mistakes . and i 'm not gon na blame them on circumstance or victor or -- or anything like that . adam would n't , either . he owns his past . and , listen , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't worry about some of his choices . i 'd be lying . but we do n't judge each other on the worst things that we 've ever done . i know his heart . he knows mine . and when he got that second chance at life and victor found him alive in las vegas , that was a second chance for the both of us . that was a second chance for us as a couple and as a family . the way he adores me , the way he -- the way he values me ... [ sighs ] the way that he loves our son . i am so lucky to have him as the father of my child . is he perfect ? no . hardly . but i 'm not perfect , either . we 're just perfect for each other . chloe : [ sighs ] you know , i really hate you for making me cry . chelsea : sorry . chloe : he makes you happy . chelsea : yeah , he does . chloe : then i 'm happy for you . but he better take darn good care of you . chelsea : he will . always . [ velcro tears ] nate : how 's your appetite ? victoria : it comes and goes . nate : what 's your favorite meal ? victoria : i do n't know . i have n't really been focused on food . they cook for me , and i -- i try to eat what i can . nate : so , uh , what have you been doing to keep yourself busy while you recuperate ? victoria : i did n't realize that i was supposed to be busy . nate : oh , it 's not a requirement . i just thought you 'd be looking forward to getting back to work . victoria : do you mind if we talk about this later ? nate : of course . the only job you need to do right now is heal , okay ? victoria : okay . [ exhales heavily ] billy : that 's an interesting choice of words . ashley : what ? comparing taking the job at chancellor to gambling ? billy : most people would be afraid to even mention the word `` gambling , `` that fear of me running to the nearest table . ashley : well , that 's kind of ridiculous , is n't it ? besides , i think we 've already established that i 'm not like other people in your life , so stop being so sensitive . billy : okay , just because i 'm paranoid , it does n't mean that people are n't out to get me . ashley : [ laughs ] touché . billy , i just want you to have the happiness that you deserve . billy : you think i deserve to be happy ? ashley : of course . billy : okay . thank you . i 'll talk to my mom , see what happens . ashley : good . thank you . billy : enough about me , okay ? how are you ? how are you dealing with your mom 's decline ? i know jack is having a hard time . ashley : yeah . confusing . billy : mm - hmm . ashley : it really is . i mean , she 's declining . she has been for a long time now . all we can do is , you know , our best to keep her comfortable , and thank god we 've got the money and the resources to do that for her , but ... she 's leaving us inch by inch . i mean , we ca n't really grieve for her because she 's still with us , right ? and thank god for that , but ... she does n't really know where she is anymore . she does n't really know who she is anymore and ... it gets worse . it gets very complicated 'cause my relationship with my mother has been very difficult . you know , i spent so much of my life resenting her , so much of my life hating her . but at the end of it all , she is my mother and she held me in her arms and she sang to me and she taught me how to talk and she taught me how to walk . and one day , she left us , and ... she taught me how to let go . i do n't think i 'm very good at that , though , because i do n't know how to do that . i do n't know how to say goodbye to somebody who 's had such a huge impact on my life . nikki : how 's my little girl ? nate : [ sighs ] her sutures are healing nicely , no fever , no signs of infection . just make sure she continues to rest as much as she needs to . she should spend most of her time inside since it 's still flu season . nikki : nate , um , you and i have known each other for a while now . nate : yeah , we have . nikki : so there should n't be any secrets between us . i do n't know what is going on , but that is not my daughter over there . even nicholas has mentioned she is not behaving like herself . nate : perhaps we should just wait and see . nikki : no , we do n't have time to wait and see . victoria is a strong woman with two small children who need their mother and a company she has waited half her life to run . now , i may not have an `` m.d. `` after my name , but i know her behavior is not normal , and you know it , too . so please just tell me exactly what is going on with her . nick : hey , dad . victor : hello , boy . nick : i was just with vick . she assured me she is cool with me stepping in for her . victor : the news that you are the new interim ceo of newman enterprises is everywhere , you know ? they 're expecting great things . no pressure . nick : you did impress upon the pr team that this move is temporary , right ? i 've read a few articles online that are suggesting this could be a permanent thing . victor : since when do i give a damn what the press get right or wrong ? nick : vick just needs to know that you still believe in her and that this job is hers when she 's ready . victor : of course i still believe in her , and the job will be hers once she has recovered from all of her wounds , okay ? but you must not convey the idea that you 're just a seat warmer . nick : agreed . victor : we must tell the world that newman enterprises is going full steam ahead no matter who 's at the helm , alright ? nick : if we show any weakness , then we are dead in the water . victor : you got that right . nick : so let 's talk about adam . victor : what about him ? nick : i know he wanted the interim job . i 'm sure he feels like he deserved it . victor : yeah , i 'm sure he does . but , son , you 've always been my first choice . nick : i 'll bet he was infuriated . and we both know an angry adam is a dangerous adam . i 'll bet you anything he 's preparing to make his move as we speak . victor : i would n't be surprised . nick : so , what do we do about it ? if we wait too long , it could be too late . victor : son , i do n't give a damn . nick : dad , he 's gon na come gunning after this company . as your son , as your ceo , we have to fight him with everything we have . chance : okay , i 'm dying to hear how you think you can get access to phyllis 's thumb drive . what 's your big idea ? abby : you want to know my big idea , big boy ? i 'll outsmart them all , the same way i 've done since day one . you see , the only thing hotter than my figure and my sultry voice is my superior intelligence . you see , my perfect manicure and my dangerously sharp nails come in handy when i 'm clawing my way out of the lower depths and i am stabbing my multitude of enemies in the back . no one has ever handed me anything . i -- i have had to fight for everything i have in this life . so , you see that phoenix when you walk through the doors of my hotel ? you 're looking at her , rising from the flames of all the bridges that i 've burned . [ scoffs ] and you can all kiss my ... ash . chance : [ chuckles ] how ? how did you just do that ? abby : it 's pretty good , right ? chance : abby , that was so good that it 's scary . abby : ahh . chance : but do you really think impersonating her will get you access to her safe deposit box ? abby : mm . heaven help whoever tries to stop me . victor : i understand your concern . but i also understand your brother , okay ? after he has licked his wounds , he will come at us with everything he 's got . nick : which is why we ca n't waste a minute . victor : and he will fail . there 's a certain pattern to what he does . he will spew all the venom he feels toward me against me . and then he will try to get into my good graces again . i 've seen him play this game many times . nick : i do n't need to remind you the last time he played this game , he messed with your medication . you could 've been killed , dad . victor : i know . but i have to tell you that he felt remorse . nick : [ scoffs ] so , that 's it ? you just forgive and forget ? victor : no , son . i may forgive , but i never forget . my focus is on protecting my legacy . and i 've chosen you to do that . nick : for now . victor : it 's a good choice for everyone concerned . nick : adam 's not gon na see it that way . victor : i do n't give a damn how adam sees it . what 's done is done . [ door closes ] adam : anybody home ? [ footsteps approaching ] chelsea : i have a surprise . adam : what is it ? did you find a way to oust nick from the ceo position ? chelsea : not yet , but this does concern our future . adam : three tickets to kansas ? chelsea : yeah . well , it was your idea . you and connor and i are going to hope 's farm for a little pre - wedding scouting expedition . we need to find a venue , a florist . we need to eat some cake . um , let 's see . what else ? adam : god , i -- i just -- i love you . chelsea : i love you , too . we need this to plan what 's next because i promise you , you will get everything you want . nate : you know i would do whatever i can help victoria , but she needs to heal beyond the stitches , and that 's gon na take some time . nikki : i do n't understand . nate : [ sighs ] the ptsd she suffered as a result of jt 's abuse , the trauma she endured when she thought she witnessed his death -- all of that took a toll on her . nikki : but she survived it . nate : true . she 's strong , bounced back . nikki : and you helped her with that . i mean , you gave her martial - arts lessons . you helped her cope with everything she had to go through . nate : but she suffered a serious setback when she was stabbed . that was a deeply traumatic experience that she literally never saw coming . she probably feels helpless , hopeless . and while that 's normal , if it goes on for too long , if those feelings persist ... nikki : alright , well , what can i do ? i want her back . just tell us what to do . nate : for now , nothing . when she 's ready to talk , be there to listen . keep an eye on her . make her feel safe . do n't minimize what she went through . nikki : but if things get worse , if there 's no improvement ? nate : just give her time and hope for the best . | abby tells chance that phyllis suspect 's they broke into her room and stole her thumb drive and ruined her computer . abby tells chance phyllis has another thumb drive in as safe deposit box and she intends to impersonate phyllis to get the thumb drive from the safe deposit box . adam and chelsea plan to take a trip to kansas and plan their next move . nick and nikki are worried about victoria because she is n't being herself . nate thinks victoria 's ptsd that she suffered after the it situation has returned and he advises nikki to give victoria time to heal . ashley encourages billy to consider taking the job at chancellor industries . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] abby : yeah . chance : you just fried the computer . phyllis is definitely gon na know that someone broke in . adam : nick just now decided he wanted to become ceo . victor : i had offered this job to nicholas in the first place . adam : you played me . chelsea : you 're gon na want to pay him back for that , are n't you ? adam : yes . but i have a feeling that you would n't be on board for that . chelsea : you 're wrong , adam . i am in this with you all the way . adam : victor is gon na expect me to make a move . chelsea : without a doubt . he practically dared you . adam : [ sighs ] look , about nick ... chelsea : for years he 's refused to work at newman for a reason . he 's wanted to separate himself from his father and everything he stood for . he does n't want to get involved in victor 's machinations . it 's why he created dark horse . it 's why he ran for city council . i actually admire him for that . adam : mm . but now he has put himself squarely in the middle of it . he does n't want the ceo position . he took it just so i would n't get it . chelsea : you 're right . nick chose this and everything that comes along with it . victor : now , i 'm sure that your predecessor has told you how i run a press campaign . but this is going to be different . i want you to listen carefully . and i want you to give this campaign all the weight and importance that it deserves . when victoria became ceo , it was to be expected . and now something has happened that i did not expect . so i want you to announce to the world that the new interim ceo of newman enterprises will be my brilliant son nicholas . yeah . nick : hey . victoria : hi . what are you doing here ? nick : well , i brought you this smoothie . it 's filled with vitamins ... victoria : mwah ! nick : ... and vegetables , and i want you to drink every bit of it . victoria : okay . thank you . um , i 'll have it later . [ groans ] nick : are you okay ? can i do anything ? victoria : no , i 'm good . i 'm really good . i 'm -- i 'm getting stronger every day . nick : okay . well , i need you to hurry back before i screw up newman forever.- victoria : well , i know you have spent most of your time being a super dad and saving the world at new hope for quite some time now . nick : yeah , well , i 'm gon na do my best to try not to lose track of an entire division . victoria : nicholas , running newman enterprise is not a joke . you know that . you 're gon na have to dedicate all of your time and energy into keeping it on track . nick : i know , vick . i know . victoria : do you ? are you absolutely sure that you 're ready for this ? adam : mm , you never cease to amaze me . chelsea : mm . well , nick 's been out of the game for a while , but he 's not naive . adam : mm . chelsea : he knows what he 's taken on , you know ? this is the last thing he wants to do , but i 'm sure he knows what 's expected of him , and he 's going to rise to the occasion . adam : mm . and do you think he 's ready for that ? chelsea : i do n't know . since he walked away from dark horse , he 's been in the nonprofit world , so i 'm sure his corporate skills are a little rusty . adam : yeah , but now he 's gon na have victor overseeing his every move , making sure there 's no missteps , watching his back for the sake of the company . chelsea : [ chuckles ] i see you . i know how your mind works . you 're spinning , thinking about every possibility , always 10 moves ahead in this chess game . adam : this -- it might get ugly . chelsea : well , i 'm not going anywhere . so , you 'll wait , you 'll watch , and when the opportunity presents itself , you 'll make your move . [ cellphone ringing ] adam : [ groans ] chelsea : you might want to get that . adam : mm . chelsea : mmm . or maybe not . [ laughs ] adam : [ sighs ] this better be good . chance : sorry to disappoint you . it 's about that situation we discussed , the sensitive information that fell into the wrong hands . phyllis : oh , wait , wait , wait . if you 're here to conduct some business , i suggest you go into a far - away corner . i do n't want the guests here to think that this is the kind of clientele that frequents my hotel . billy : `` your `` hotel ? that 's pushing it a little bit , is n't it ? you forget about your partners ? phyllis : i do n't have partners . i bought them out . billy : wow . that 's huge . ca n't imagine chelsea and abby went without a fight . phyllis : this was not a passion project for chelsea . she was just looking for a place to stash her money that she inherited from her dead husband . as for abby , she stole it out from under me with the urging of victor , of course . i just got back what was rightfully mine . billy : and knowing you , it was n't pretty . phyllis : wow . and who are you to judge my life after you pulled amanda into your mess of a life ? really , billy ? billy : [ clears throat ] phyllis : she deserves so much better than you , and so does victoria . and look at victoria . she ends up with a knife literally in her back . well , that was mean . damn it . i apologize . billy : pardon me , phyllis ? did you just apologize ? humira patients ... additional sponsorship nick : is this a job interview ? do you want to hear that i have no interest in the ceo gig becoming a permanent thing ? look , i 'm here . i 'm gon na do the best i can , and i 'll do it for as long as you need me to . victoria : i need to know that you 're ready for this . nick : you sure you 're okay with me pinch - hitting for you ? victoria : i 'm sure . you 're my best option . nick : [ laughs ] that 's not exactly a resounding `` yes . `` victoria : i have only had this job for a couple of months . it 's frustrating having to take a step back before i 've even been able to implement most of my initiatives . nick : yeah , come on . you 're gon na accomplish everything that you planned and more . victoria : the staff has just gotten used to me being in control , and now they 're gon na -- they 're gon na have to face a new adjustment ? nick : i 'm sure every day that i 'm there , they 're gon na miss you even more . victoria : maybe so , but , i mean , it 's just not fair . i 've wanted this since i was little girl , and then fate steps in and takes it away from me . nick : hey , come on . i 'm just keeping your seat warm for you . victoria : no , nicholas , that 's the wrong attitude to have . this is an important job . you 're gon na have to make some tough decisions . you 're gon na have to be a leader . nick : alright , look . you know i chaperoned 20 kids on an all - day trip to the natural history museum . i threw a birthday party for 10 little boys myself , along with a superhero magician . i think i can handle running a multibillion- dollar corporation . victoria : this is not a joke . nick : i know . sorry . i 'm just ... victoria : look , if your heart 's not in it , then you need to walk away . nick : my head 's in it . victoria : do n't do it for me . nick : i 'm doing it for all of us . victoria : [ sighs ] well , look , if you 're taking this on for the wrong reasons ... nick : i 'm not . i swear . victoria : it 's just that you 're gon na have to make so many sacrifices . it could own you . it could take over your life . nick : hey , why are you talking like this ? you okay ? victoria : i 'm just so sorry . i 'm tired . can we just -- can we talk about this later ? nick : yeah , of course . do n't worry about anything . everything 's under control . [ smooches ] adam : so , did you find anything interesting on your last excursion ? chance : the device worked . the thumb drive with the recording 's been locate . adam : okay . and what about phyllis 's computer ? chance : that met with an unfortunate accident . adam : okay , which destroys any physical evidence that can back up her threat ? chance : as far as we know . adam : well , you put your special - agent skills to good use . chance : we do n't have to worry about phyllis anymore . adam : we should order some champagne . we can celebrate . chance : adam , i still owe you . and this wo n't be over until i 've tied up all of the loose ends . phyllis : you know i 'm not an unredeemable monster . at one time , we meant a lot to each other . we would have done anything for each other . billy : what do you want ? phyllis : i just wanted to tell you i feel bad . i feel bad about victoria and amanda . and do n't tell anyone i apologized , please . billy : okay . how about a little mutually assured destruction ? i apologize , too . the hotel -- you 're right , you know ? it 's good . if i had an opportunity to right a wrong , i would do whatever it takes , and you are clearly willing to do whatever it takes . so , congrats . phyllis : thank you . thank you for apologizing . and , yes , nobody gets ahead in business when they 're meek . billy : no . look , i know you 've always wanted something of your own ever since you lost the top job at jabot . i know that was n't easy for you . so ... good on you . phyllis : thank you , billy . billy : grand phoenix -- a great place for a new beginning . phyllis : yeah . that 's the plan . and i know your life is going through changes now . billy : well , move forward or die , right ? phyllis : right . i hope you get the fresh start you 're looking for . billy : me too . phyllis : [ chuckles ] billy : and to you . phyllis : hey ! there 's been a coup , and you are no longer needed , nor are you wanted here , so allow me to get somebody to escort you out , um , on the curb next , to the trash . abby : [ laughs ] with advil , abby : if it were n't for my hard work and dedication , you would n't have a hotel to run . phyllis : give me a break . abby : who was here to make sure the grand phoenix survived the most recent crisis ? phyllis : the most recent crisis , the ice storm -- that was an act of god , unlike all the other incidents that afflicted this hotel . would you like me to put a plaque outside ? abby : your name might be on the deed , but i still have a not - so - small fortune invested here . phyllis : here we go . abby : and it take you decades to buy me out . so in the interest of peaceful coexistence , can we just pretend to be civil with each other ? phyllis : you know , we can do that , but why do n't you do that from afar , like , uh , say , society ? you own that . abby : oh , but my office here is in just such a better location for me to oversee my latest venture right across the street . in fact , i am meeting my structural engineer right here , and we 're gon na discuss just how tall to make my new hotel . i 'm thinking , mm , maybe 50 stories should be high enough to cast a permanent shadow over the second - rate grand phoenix . phyllis : wow . is this where i should be shaking in my boots ? because if you think i 'm afraid of competition , you do n't know me at all . abby : [ chuckles ] [ inhales deeply ] nikki : i know you 're worried . i can see it in your eyes . nick : well , are n't you ? nikki : of course . she 's been through a horrible ordeal . some people take longer to recover . nick : well , how much longer is it gon na take ? nikki : i do n't know . i mean , there is no timetable for this . but that 's why it was very important that you step in at newman till she she 's ready to return . nick : i do n't know . the way she was talking about what i was taking on ... nikki : nicholas , she loves newman almost as much as her children . nick : i know , mom , but this time -- i 'm telling you -- it seemed different . nikki : maybe you 're expecting too much from her . nick : when 's the last time she saw a doctor ? nikki : nate is on his way right now . nick : alright , you call me when he leaves . i want to know what he has to say . nikki : are you asking as her brother or as the new ceo ? nick : both , i guess . i got to get to work and start running the world . nikki : alright , darling . well , thank you for coming . she 'll be fine . nick : yeah . i love you . nikki : i love you . billy : william foster abbott ... ashley : hi . billy : ... reporting for his compulsory tongue lashing and castigation . ashley : is that really why you think i asked you to come by ? billy : well , it 's part of the process , is n't it ? my only request is that you keep it short . i screwed up . you chewed me out . people avoid me like the plague . yada yada yada . ashley : right . well , anyway , i 'm gon na leave the airing of grievances to jack and anybody else who wants to chime in . would you like some coffee ? billy : yeah . ashley : okay . billy : thank you . ashley : however , i did n't ask you to come by just for some caffeine and chitchat . billy : okay . here we go . ashley : i want to know what 's going on with you after everything that happened . billy : [ sighs ] ashley -- ashley : how are you doing , billy ? billy : you 're actually the first person to ask me that . ashley : ohh . ( vo ) do you push through four or more migraine days a month ? chelsea : [ shivers ] hi . chloe : oh , hi ! chelsea : you just -- you look so beautiful . you 're glowing . chloe : stop . chelsea : i 'm serious . you are . hi ! hello ! chloe : i know how you can get a glow just like this . chelsea : oh , very funny . no , i have my hands full with connor these days , but thanks . chloe : [ chuckles ] chelsea : i do n't know . i just look at you , and i think , `` no matter how crazy the world can get , babies . `` [ both laugh ] and their beautiful mothers . it 's just a reminder that , you know , life goes on and miracles do happen . i do n't know . i 'm rambling . i just -- i 'm just so happy for you . chloe : oh , well , enough about me . what kind of fires are you lighting around town these days ? chelsea : um ... well , actually , i do have some news . i have some really good news to share . chloe : oh , great . & lay it on me . chelsea : adam and i are engaged . chloe : and what 's the good news ? adam : did you run into any problems when you were recovering the thumb drive from phyllis 's room ? chance : the less you know , the better . what i am curious about is -- you mentioned something about having new plans in the works . adam : mm . oh , it 's just a little something to keep me occupied . chance : is there any chance it has something to do with nick taking over at newman ? adam : how do you know about that ? chance : read the press release . looks like victor 's trying to reassure his friends and competitors that there 's a strong , steady hand at the wheel until victoria is all better . adam : interesting . phyllis : you know , i wanted to give you a warning of my own . abby : oh , really ? what 's that ? phyllis : well , it seems that i was the victim of a burglary . abby : oh , my gosh . how unfortunate . what happened ? phyllis : i know . i know . well , it seems that somebody broke into my place , ruined my laptop , and stole something very valuable to me . abby : ohh . phyllis : yeah . abby : have you alerted security ? phyllis : no , no . i 'm altering you . abby : oh . phyllis : your play dates with your adrenaline - junkie boyfriend are going to end up very dangerous for you . abby : i can take care of myself . phyllis : i do n't think you can . you do n't know what he 's capable of . abby : and you do ? phyllis : i do . abby : mm - hmm . phyllis : i have seen things , and i have heard things . i mean , i created that state - of - the art security system for my own hotel . you do n't think i would n't do the same thing in my personal life ? abby : mm . well , then you must have proof who broke into your room . have you filed a report with the police ? phyllis : no . i 'm gon na deal with this on my own , with my own personal touch . abby : mm . nice bluff . see , i think if you had any real evidence , you would n't be standing here fishing for information . besides , i do n't know why you 're telling me any of this . phyllis : well , what you do n't know could fill a library . abby : you 're the local genius . right . phyllis : okay , well , i am smart enough to have a backup plan , so why do n't you tell this little tidbit to whoever broke into my room and stole my thumb drive that , um , there 's nothing afer than a safe deposit box , okay ? so , run along . run along . you 're with the big girls now in the deep end . abby : this is n't over , not by a long shot . phyllis : no , it is not over . bring it . abby : [ chuckles ] this is a shout - out to all those going the extra mile . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . ashley : so , the man that attacked victoria pled guilty . there wo n't be a trial . billy : true . which is a good thing . it would have been horrible for victoria to have to testify ... or amanda or anyone else who witnessed the attack . ashley : but you 're not gon na have the chance to express your point of view , your side of the story . people are gon na assume the worst . billy : it 's not a big deal , ash . i 'm not really worried about that . ashley : it 's a big deal to me , billy . i want to know what happened . why did you decide to crash victor 's party ? billy : [ chuckles ] well , for a few reasons , most importantly the hypocrisy of it all , people celebrating victor like he 's some kind of hero after all the crimes he 's committed , the people he 's stepped on , the lives that he 's destroyed . ashley : yeah , well , he 's a complicated human . billy : yeah . and people judge me . things went lopsided between me and vick , but i 'm always going to love her . and she was trying to get me to leave that night , to not disrupt the party . i should have listened to her . it was dark , and , uh , somebody bumped into her . before i knew it , she was in my arms and i had blood all over my hand . she started to lose color in her face , and i start to freak out . i was screaming for help , yelling at her to stay with me . ashley : i 'm so sorry . that 's horrible . then i got to the hospital , and of course nobody would let me see her . newman started to close ranks . i snuck into a room . i was hoping if i could just apologize to her ... i brought her a picture of the kids , hoping that it would help her . i do n't know . maybe i thought it was gon na help me assuage my own guilty conscience . ashley : well , she is recovering well , is n't she ? so maybe you being there made a difference . billy : i do n't know about that . i , uh , just left her , and she 's pretty clearly blaming me for everything , the look in her eye had a level of disgust that i have n't seen , almost hate . ashley : oh , billy , i do n't think victoria could ever truly hate you . billy : i do n't know about that , ash . i mean , in her mind , she 's linked what 's happened with us and the heartbreak with the stabbing . ashley : well , she 's gon na have to come to terms with what happened to her , is n't she ? billy : i do n't know . maybe you 're right . ashley : well , i think you need something new and exciting in your life , something that makes you want to wake up in the morning . billy : yeah , well , you know , my mom did offer me a job at chancellor heading up the new media division . ashley : take it . billy : i do n't know . ashley : why not ? billy : give me a second . i 'll think of something . ashley : do you always have to make everything so damn difficult for yourself ? ! billy : some people would say yes . ashley : okay , this could be the greatest gamble of your entire lifetime . and you , of all people -- you 're just gon na walk away from the table without playing one single hand ? [ door opens ] abby : hey . uh , do you have a minute ? chance : for you ? always . what 's up ? abby : um ... phyllis -- yeah , she , uh -- she got in my face about someone breaking into her room , damaging her computer , and stealing something important to her . chance : and so it begins . how did it go ? abby : she tried to rile me , but i handled her . chance : our secret 's still safe ? abby : she got nothing from me , but i did get a interesting tidbit of information from her . chance : what 'd you learn ? abby : that she was too smart not to make a copy of whatever was on that thumb drive . chance : son of a ... abby : no . she 's keeping it in a safe deposit box . chance : we need to figure out where and find a way in . abby : it 's funny you should say that because i think i might have the perfect plan . chloe : i 'm sorry that i said your engagement to adam was n't good news , and i really wish that i could be that friend who 's going to squeal and plan your bachelorette party and post happy pictures of the happy couple all over my social media , but come on . it 's adam . chelsea : it 's adam , the man i love . chloe : you guys just got back together like two months ago . chelsea : chloe , come on . we 're hardly new . chloe : and you really think that he 's your end game , even though you have n't been able to make it work , like , the last several times ? chelsea : what adam and i have is ... [ sighs ] i - i ca n't even put it into words . chloe : oh , i can . kill it with fire . chelsea : he 's made mistakes -- adam . he has . horrible mistakes . and i 'm not gon na blame them on circumstance or victor or -- or anything like that . adam would n't , either . he owns his past . and , listen , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't worry about some of his choices . i 'd be lying . but we do n't judge each other on the worst things that we 've ever done . i know his heart . he knows mine . and when he got that second chance at life and victor found him alive in las vegas , that was a second chance for the both of us . that was a second chance for us as a couple and as a family . the way he adores me , the way he -- the way he values me ... [ sighs ] the way that he loves our son . i am so lucky to have him as the father of my child . is he perfect ? no . hardly . but i 'm not perfect , either . we 're just perfect for each other . chloe : [ sighs ] you know , i really hate you for making me cry . chelsea : sorry . chloe : he makes you happy . chelsea : yeah , he does . chloe : then i 'm happy for you . but he better take darn good care of you . chelsea : he will . always . [ velcro tears ] nate : how 's your appetite ? victoria : it comes and goes . nate : what 's your favorite meal ? victoria : i do n't know . i have n't really been focused on food . they cook for me , and i -- i try to eat what i can . nate : so , uh , what have you been doing to keep yourself busy while you recuperate ? victoria : i did n't realize that i was supposed to be busy . nate : oh , it 's not a requirement . i just thought you 'd be looking forward to getting back to work . victoria : do you mind if we talk about this later ? nate : of course . the only job you need to do right now is heal , okay ? victoria : okay . [ exhales heavily ] billy : that 's an interesting choice of words . ashley : what ? comparing taking the job at chancellor to gambling ? billy : most people would be afraid to even mention the word `` gambling , `` that fear of me running to the nearest table . ashley : well , that 's kind of ridiculous , is n't it ? besides , i think we 've already established that i 'm not like other people in your life , so stop being so sensitive . billy : okay , just because i 'm paranoid , it does n't mean that people are n't out to get me . ashley : [ laughs ] touché . billy , i just want you to have the happiness that you deserve . billy : you think i deserve to be happy ? ashley : of course . billy : okay . thank you . i 'll talk to my mom , see what happens . ashley : good . thank you . billy : enough about me , okay ? how are you ? how are you dealing with your mom 's decline ? i know jack is having a hard time . ashley : yeah . confusing . billy : mm - hmm . ashley : it really is . i mean , she 's declining . she has been for a long time now . all we can do is , you know , our best to keep her comfortable , and thank god we 've got the money and the resources to do that for her , but ... she 's leaving us inch by inch . i mean , we ca n't really grieve for her because she 's still with us , right ? and thank god for that , but ... she does n't really know where she is anymore . she does n't really know who she is anymore and ... it gets worse . it gets very complicated 'cause my relationship with my mother has been very difficult . you know , i spent so much of my life resenting her , so much of my life hating her . but at the end of it all , she is my mother and she held me in her arms and she sang to me and she taught me how to talk and she taught me how to walk . and one day , she left us , and ... she taught me how to let go . i do n't think i 'm very good at that , though , because i do n't know how to do that . i do n't know how to say goodbye to somebody who 's had such a huge impact on my life . nikki : how 's my little girl ? nate : [ sighs ] her sutures are healing nicely , no fever , no signs of infection . just make sure she continues to rest as much as she needs to . she should spend most of her time inside since it 's still flu season . nikki : nate , um , you and i have known each other for a while now . nate : yeah , we have . nikki : so there should n't be any secrets between us . i do n't know what is going on , but that is not my daughter over there . even nicholas has mentioned she is not behaving like herself . nate : perhaps we should just wait and see . nikki : no , we do n't have time to wait and see . victoria is a strong woman with two small children who need their mother and a company she has waited half her life to run . now , i may not have an `` m.d. `` after my name , but i know her behavior is not normal , and you know it , too . so please just tell me exactly what is going on with her . nick : hey , dad . victor : hello , boy . nick : i was just with vick . she assured me she is cool with me stepping in for her . victor : the news that you are the new interim ceo of newman enterprises is everywhere , you know ? they 're expecting great things . no pressure . nick : you did impress upon the pr team that this move is temporary , right ? i 've read a few articles online that are suggesting this could be a permanent thing . victor : since when do i give a damn what the press get right or wrong ? nick : vick just needs to know that you still believe in her and that this job is hers when she 's ready . victor : of course i still believe in her , and the job will be hers once she has recovered from all of her wounds , okay ? but you must not convey the idea that you 're just a seat warmer . nick : agreed . victor : we must tell the world that newman enterprises is going full steam ahead no matter who 's at the helm , alright ? nick : if we show any weakness , then we are dead in the water . victor : you got that right . nick : so let 's talk about adam . victor : what about him ? nick : i know he wanted the interim job . i 'm sure he feels like he deserved it . victor : yeah , i 'm sure he does . but , son , you 've always been my first choice . nick : i 'll bet he was infuriated . and we both know an angry adam is a dangerous adam . i 'll bet you anything he 's preparing to make his move as we speak . victor : i would n't be surprised . nick : so , what do we do about it ? if we wait too long , it could be too late . victor : son , i do n't give a damn . nick : dad , he 's gon na come gunning after this company . as your son , as your ceo , we have to fight him with everything we have . chance : okay , i 'm dying to hear how you think you can get access to phyllis 's thumb drive . what 's your big idea ? abby : you want to know my big idea , big boy ? i 'll outsmart them all , the same way i 've done since day one . you see , the only thing hotter than my figure and my sultry voice is my superior intelligence . you see , my perfect manicure and my dangerously sharp nails come in handy when i 'm clawing my way out of the lower depths and i am stabbing my multitude of enemies in the back . no one has ever handed me anything . i -- i have had to fight for everything i have in this life . so , you see that phoenix when you walk through the doors of my hotel ? you 're looking at her , rising from the flames of all the bridges that i 've burned . [ scoffs ] and you can all kiss my ... ash . chance : [ chuckles ] how ? how did you just do that ? abby : it 's pretty good , right ? chance : abby , that was so good that it 's scary . abby : ahh . chance : but do you really think impersonating her will get you access to her safe deposit box ? abby : mm . heaven help whoever tries to stop me . victor : i understand your concern . but i also understand your brother , okay ? after he has licked his wounds , he will come at us with everything he 's got . nick : which is why we ca n't waste a minute . victor : and he will fail . there 's a certain pattern to what he does . he will spew all the venom he feels toward me against me . and then he will try to get into my good graces again . i 've seen him play this game many times . nick : i do n't need to remind you the last time he played this game , he messed with your medication . you could 've been killed , dad . victor : i know . but i have to tell you that he felt remorse . nick : [ scoffs ] so , that 's it ? you just forgive and forget ? victor : no , son . i may forgive , but i never forget . my focus is on protecting my legacy . and i 've chosen you to do that . nick : for now . victor : it 's a good choice for everyone concerned . nick : adam 's not gon na see it that way . victor : i do n't give a damn how adam sees it . what 's done is done .

rafe : well -- justin : we have an eye- witness who saw him fighting serena mason inside club tbd , which also happens to be the last time serena was seen alive . you yourself saw chad with a bloody lip , which he admitted was caused by that fight . we have a bloody napkin , found at the crime scene , which has his dna on it . rafe : look , i know all this already -- justin : and to top it off , he has no alibi . rafe , no alibi for the time between when he left that club and when he checked into the salem inn , a window of time which almost exactly matches the window of time that the coroner has set for the victim 's time of death . rafe : you 're right . you are right . but there are still questions . justin : and i am sure i can answer them . rafe : oh really ? can you ? can you tell me what chad 's motive was , i mean , aside from the fact that he did n't get to sleep with the victim ? i mean , come on , justin , really ? he 's gon na risk everything for some ridiculous fight with a woman that he has never met ? not to mention the fact that the necktie -- the necktie had no dna on it , and the crime ... was a crime of passion . it was not premeditated . so , we to assume that chad dimera just had a pair of gloves with him , you know , in case he felt irritated with his date and wanted to kill her ? justin : serena told him no . he went ballistic . that 's what dimeras do ... rafe : all right , listen -- justin : when they do n't get what they want ! rafe : okay , you know what ? i 'm not a fan of chad 's . all right ? but from everything that i have seen and heard about the guy , he is nothing compared to stefano or ej or even kristen for that matter . okay ? the guy is not a psychotic killer who would ice some woman just because she said no , especially in light of the fact that he knows the guilt would point to him . think about it , all right ? just think about it . not to mention the fact that you said he 's a dimera . are n't the dimeras smarter than that ? huh ? what ? justin : i 'm just wondering , during the time you were away , whether you just either forgot how to build a case or you 're now bending over backwards to appear impartial . rafe : really ? justin : but whatever the reason , something is stopping you from seeing this case for what it is ... an open and shut case . and , as the new d.a . , i want this case closed asap . rafe : wow . chad : no deal . the best thing for abigail is to stay as far away from this family as she can get . see , why does this land in ireland even matter to you ? you have more money than you could spend in ten lifetimes , let alone whatever time you have left . stefano : my reasons are my own . i do not need to explain them to you or anyone else . chad : yeah , because i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm really starting to wonder if this is all just part of some twisted power trip of yours . you 're trying to change the course of my life and abigail 's because you woke up one morning and decided to play matchmaker over a piece of land ? i am not gon na be another pawn in your life , and i 'm not going to allow abigail 's to be either . stefano : we 're getting off point , which is that you are in hot water . chad : and you ... you disowned me , so i will repeat myself : why do you care ? stefano : why ? why ? because despite all of your efforts to distance yourself from your family , you are a dimera , damn it ! chad : lucky me . stefano : and if you want to save yourself , you will answer me honestly . you understand that ? so that i can protect you . chad : well , i think i can guess what this question is gon na be . stefano : then answer it , damn it ! did you kill serena mason ? [ phone ringing ] [ phone ringing ] rafe : eric , i know that -- i know this is tough . i 'm sorry to put you through it . but ... you knew serena better than anyone in town . eric : well , what do you want me to look for ? rafe : anything . anything that can help us . these are some things from her hotel room . take your time . what are you thinking ? eric : serena and i , we had this running joke between us , and , uh ... you see , serena , she was an awful photographer . she had no sense of light or composition . she just kept on taking pictures . rafe : she liked the challenge , huh ? eric : yeah , that was her . she never gave up . guess she -- she thought maybe one day that she could accidentally ... capture a masterpiece , and , uh ... she thought ... she hoped that one day ... one of her photographs would mean something . chad : this is chad dimera . i need your help . ben : brought you some saltine crackers , too , in case you could n't handle this . abigail : ew , what is it ? ben : just some plain yogurt . i know an expectant mother needs to increase her protein intake , especially during the first trimester . abigail : ben ... ben : what ? abigail : you did your research . ben : ah , you are n't the only one hitting the pregnancy books . abigail : oh ... that is so sweet , thank you . andrea : oh , abigail , hi . abigail : oh , hi , andrea ! andrea : great to see you . abigail : hi , it 's good to see you . uh , ben , this is andrea . she 's a midwife who 's going to be delivering the baby . ben : oh , great , it 's nice to meet you . andrea : nice to meet you , too , ben , and i assume you 're the father ? ben : ah , yes . yes , i am .

really ? justin : well , maybe there 's one or two clueless people who do n't even know there was a murder . chad : okay , look , i know our families have a history of animosity , if not outright hatred . but out of deference to your son and my best friend sonny , i will do my best to remain civil . justin : oh , are n't you a class act . chad : i 'm innocent , all right ? i am innocent , damn it . there 's no way that i could hurt someone that way . justin : why not ? because you are dimera 2.0 ? the kinder , gentler version ? the baby of the family . rich , good looking , charming . the kind of guy a woman could n't say no to . chad : i do n't have to listen to this . justin : until one finally did . and what did you do ? you blew up , you lost it . you grabbed your necktie , you wrapped it around her throat , and you squeezed it until she could n't say no anymore . is n't that what happened ? chad : no , that is not how it happened , you smug son of a -- you do n't know what you 're talking about . all you want is to see a dimera go down . well , you are in serious trouble with this one , d.a . kiriakis , because you 've got the wrong guy , do you understand me ?

aiden : yeah . chad : right . well , i ... look , i met her at the club . i had n't -- i 'd never met her until that night , so we introduced ourselves . i - i got us a couple drinks . aiden : okay , how many ? chad : a few . a - a lot . plus -- plus some shots . aiden : all right , and then what was your mood , yours , hers ? chad : we were both upset . commiserating about nothing going right for either of us . aiden : okay , just feeling sorry for yourselves . chad : yeah . okay , but , you know , then we started to relax with each other at some point . you know , it was nice . so i - i kissed her , and she kissed me back . more drinking , and then ... yeah , she pulled away . you know , she was -- she was hammered . so was i . things got heated . she slapped me and stormed off . so i followed her . aiden : followed her ? okay , well , what was your intention ? chad : i wanted to find out what the hell was wrong with her , why she pulled a 180 on me like that . aiden : okay . and then what ? chad : i do n't know where i went , all right ? the last thing i remember is standing outside of that club with her . i do n't know what happened after that . i - i blacked out . aiden : chad , you just told me you were innocent . chad : yeah , i know . aiden : well , right now , you do n't look like you 're so sure . chad : it 's because ... i 'm not , all right ?

justin : abe ! i 'm doing my job , and if chad dimera is as guilty as i suspect he is , i am not gon na rest until he 's behind bars . he will be the first of the dimeras i bring down . i will make damn sure of it . eric : who could do this to her ? why would somebody want to kill her ? rafe : well , right now chad dimera is our only suspect . we believe he 's the last person to have seen serena alive . unfortunately , the evidence that we have is purely circumstantial , so ... we 're still looking . eric : oh , my ... xander cook 's the only person i can even ... come up with . i imagine he 's the first person you questioned . rafe : yeah , yeah , we did . but xander cook happened to be in custody at the time , so ... perfect alibi . eric : and chad was the last one who was ... seen with her ?

can you ? can you tell me what chad 's motive was , i mean , aside from the fact that he did n't get to sleep with the victim ? i mean , come on , justin , really ? he 's gon na risk everything for some ridiculous fight with a woman that he has never met ? not to mention the fact that the necktie -- the necktie had no dna on it , and the crime ... was a crime of passion . it was not premeditated . so , we to assume that chad dimera just had a pair of gloves with him , you know , in case he felt irritated with his date and wanted to kill her ? justin : serena told him no . he went ballistic . that 's what dimeras do ... rafe : all right , listen -- justin : when they do n't get what they want ! rafe : okay , you know what ? i 'm not a fan of chad 's . all right ? but from everything that i have seen and heard about the guy , he is nothing compared to stefano or ej or even kristen for that matter . okay ? the guy is not a psychotic killer who would ice some woman just because she said no , especially in light of the fact that he knows the guilt would point to him . think about it , all right ? just think about it . not to mention the fact that you said he 's a dimera . are n't the dimeras smarter than that ? huh ? what ? justin : i 'm just wondering , during the time you were away , whether you just either forgot how to build a case or you 're now bending over backwards to appear impartial . rafe : really ? justin : but whatever the reason , something is stopping you from seeing this case for what it is ... an open and shut case . and , as the new d.a . , i want this case closed asap . rafe : wow . chad : no deal . the best thing for abigail is to stay as far away from this family as she can get . see , why does this land in ireland even matter to you ? you have more money than you could spend in ten lifetimes , let alone whatever time you have left . stefano : my reasons are my own . i do not need to explain them to you or anyone else . chad : yeah , because i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm really starting to wonder if this is all just part of some twisted power trip of yours . you 're trying to change the course of my life and abigail 's because you woke up one morning and decided to play matchmaker over a piece of land ? i am not gon na be another pawn in your life , and i 'm not going to allow abigail 's to be either . stefano : we 're getting off point , which is that you are in hot water . chad : and you ... you disowned me , so i will repeat myself : why do you care ? stefano : why ? why ? because despite all of your efforts to distance yourself from your family , you are a dimera , damn it ! chad : lucky me . stefano : and if you want to save yourself , you will answer me honestly . you understand that ? so that i can protect you . chad : well , i think i can guess what this question is gon na be . stefano : then answer it , damn it ! did you kill serena mason ?

aiden : yeah . chad : right . well , i ... look , i met her at the club . i had n't -- i 'd never met her until that night , so we introduced ourselves . i - i got us a couple drinks . aiden : okay , how many ? chad : a few . a - a lot . plus -- plus some shots . aiden : all right , and then what was your mood , yours , hers ? chad : we were both upset . commiserating about nothing going right for either of us . aiden : okay , just feeling sorry for yourselves . chad : yeah . okay , but , you know , then we started to relax with each other at some point . you know , it was nice . so i - i kissed her , and she kissed me back . more drinking , and then ... yeah , she pulled away . you know , she was -- she was hammered . so was i . things got heated . she slapped me and stormed off . so i followed her . aiden : followed her ? okay , well , what was your intention ? chad : i wanted to find out what the hell was wrong with her , why she pulled a 180 on me like that . aiden : okay . and then what ? chad : i do n't know where i went , all right ? the last thing i remember is standing outside of that club with her . i do n't know what happened after that . i - i blacked out . aiden : chad , you just told me you were innocent . chad : yeah , i know . aiden : well , right now , you do n't look like you 're so sure . chad : it 's because ... i 'm not , all right ?

justin : abe ! i 'm doing my job , and if chad dimera is as guilty as i suspect he is , i am not gon na rest until he 's behind bars . he will be the first of the dimeras i bring down . i will make damn sure of it . eric : who could do this to her ? why would somebody want to kill her ? rafe : well , right now chad dimera is our only suspect . we believe he 's the last person to have seen serena alive . unfortunately , the evidence that we have is purely circumstantial , so ... we 're still looking . eric : oh , my ... xander cook 's the only person i can even ... come up with . i imagine he 's the first person you questioned . rafe : yeah , yeah , we did . but xander cook happened to be in custody at the time , so ... perfect alibi . eric : and chad was the last one who was ... seen with her ?

[ scene_break ] anna : what happened last night ? [ sighs ] well , duke , he 's -- he 's been dead less a week , and i - i slept with you , and -- sloane : we were n't thinking clearly . we had some drinks . it was a mistake . but it 's not the end of the world . and it 's no reason for you to leave port charles . anna : no . well , i would be lying if i said that sleeping with you was n't part of the reason that -- that i want to leave . i just -- i ca n't -- ca n't be around you -- sloane : that bad , huh ? anna : no , it 's not that . just -- it 's not the drunk sex . i - i committed a murder . i shot an unarmed man point - blank . and we covered it up . sloane : that 's on me . anna : no , it 's not . i shot carlos . me . i did it , not you . and with that , i destroyed any possibility that we would ever get justice for duke , because , as we both know , carlos is the only one who could testify that he was acting on orders from julian . so , you know , i was so ... hell - bent on -- on vengeance that now julian wo n't ever go down for what he did . he wins . again . because of me . now , you told me that i need to try and find a way to forgive myself . well ... if that is even remotely possible , it 's not gon na happen here . sloane : why not ? anna : well , because here i see you , and i -- and i feel as if i 've betrayed duke . here , everywhere i turn , carlos is right there . here , julian , he walks the street . he 's a free man , and he 's masquerading as some kind of newspaper publisher or whatever . and here is the pier where i was going to start a new life with duke , and i ended up murdering a man . so ... if there is even the remotest chance that i can forgive myself and -- and mourn duke properly , then i have to leave . [ scene_break ] nina : i used to blame you for everything that happened to me , but you 're definitely not responsible for franco 's lack of trust in me . why would you even think you were ? silas : i was the reason you were at gh in the first place on the day that avery disappeared . you know , you went out of your way to find me and apologize to me for everything that had happened , and you wanted to give me some peace of mind , and that 's the reason why you were in the same place at the same time as ava 's baby . nina : how random is that , right ? i come to see you , and it puts me in proximity of a baby snatching ? silas : yeah . so , now it 's my turn to apologize to you . i 'm sorry for any part i played in putting the spotlight on you in this investigation . nina : so , you think i 'm innocent ? silas : i know you are .

[ scene_break ] anna : what happened last night ? [ sighs ] well , duke , he 's -- he 's been dead less a week , and i - i slept with you , and -- sloane : we were n't thinking clearly . we had some drinks . it was a mistake . but it 's not the end of the world . and it 's no reason for you to leave port charles . anna : no . well , i would be lying if i said that sleeping with you was n't part of the reason that -- that i want to leave . i just -- i ca n't -- ca n't be around you -- sloane : that bad , huh ? anna : no , it 's not that . just -- it 's not the drunk sex . i - i committed a murder . i shot an unarmed man point - blank . and we covered it up . sloane : that 's on me . anna : no , it 's not . i shot carlos . me . i did it , not you . and with that , i destroyed any possibility that we would ever get justice for duke , because , as we both know , carlos is the only one who could testify that he was acting on orders from julian . so , you know , i was so ... hell - bent on -- on vengeance that now julian wo n't ever go down for what he did . he wins . again . because of me . now , you told me that i need to try and find a way to forgive myself . well ... if that is even remotely possible , it 's not gon na happen here . sloane : why not ? anna : well , because here i see you , and i -- and i feel as if i 've betrayed duke . here , everywhere i turn , carlos is right there . here , julian , he walks the street . he 's a free man , and he 's masquerading as some kind of newspaper publisher or whatever . and here is the pier where i was going to start a new life with duke , and i ended up murdering a man . so ... if there is even the remotest chance that i can forgive myself and -- and mourn duke properly , then i have to leave . [ scene_break ] nina : i used to blame you for everything that happened to me , but you 're definitely not responsible for franco 's lack of trust in me . why would you even think you were ? silas : i was the reason you were at gh in the first place on the day that avery disappeared . you know , you went out of your way to find me and apologize to me for everything that had happened , and you wanted to give me some peace of mind , and that 's the reason why you were in the same place at the same time as ava 's baby . nina : how random is that , right ? i come to see you , and it puts me in proximity of a baby snatching ? silas : yeah . so , now it 's my turn to apologize to you . i 'm sorry for any part i played in putting the spotlight on you in this investigation . nina : so , you think i 'm innocent ? silas : i know you are . [ scene_break ] kiki : i do n't want to gloat or anything , but i knew that my dad would n't be able to just head into work after finding out that my mom has a long - lost twin sister . morgan : yeah , well , i guess he was as curious about denise as the rest of us , right ? kiki : [ laughs ] morgan : silas dealing with denise ? that 's kind of funny . i wonder how that conversation went down between the esteemed oncologist and the colorful cosmetologist . [ both laughing ] kiki : yeah , i would 've loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation . could you imagine ? probably got that stoic look on his face that he always gets with delia ? morgan : i 'm sure when we see her , she 's gon na tell us all about it , if she ever comes back . kiki : i 'll just call her , and i 'll ask her where she went . mmm .

[ scene_break ] judge : first of all , i would like to thank everyone for their testimony in this case . i have considered every detail of the evidence very , very carefully . a court must respect the rights of a biological mother . the physical and emotional connection between a mother and a child should be sacrosanct . however , in this particular instance , it appears that ms. duran repeatedly exhibited unstable behavior which put her infant at risk . add to that the fact that her petition to nullify the adoption came after the designated date suitable for the challenge , and the court must award custody of the child , hallie jennifer munson , to her adoptive parents , gwen and william munson . will : we did it ! chris : hey , it 'll be okay . gwen and will are good people . i 'm sure they 'll let you see hallie . sofie : your honor , i have something to say .

[ scene_break ] judge : first of all , i would like to thank everyone for their testimony in this case . i have considered every detail of the evidence very , very carefully . a court must respect the rights of a biological mother . the physical and emotional connection between a mother and a child should be sacrosanct . however , in this particular instance , it appears that ms. duran repeatedly exhibited unstable behavior which put her infant at risk . add to that the fact that her petition to nullify the adoption came after the designated date suitable for the challenge , and the court must award custody of the child , hallie jennifer munson , to her adoptive parents , gwen and william munson . will : we did it ! chris : hey , it 'll be okay . gwen and will are good people . i 'm sure they 'll let you see hallie . sofie : your honor , i have something to say .

[ scene_break ] judge : you may proceed , ms. duran . sofie : i love my baby . i always have . i am so sorry i scared you when i took hallie to new york . if i had the chance , i would have done so many things differently . and now , hallie is yours . but she 's still a part of me . i just want her to know that . even if i ca n't raise her , she 's the only family i 've got . alison : it must be over . thanks for waiting with me . is it good news ? gwen : we won . barbara : my granddaughter is home for good . alison : that 's fantastic ! why are n't you jumping for joy ? gwen : because i know how hard it is . i 've been in sofie 's situation when i lost billy . will : i feel for sofie , too . but you know what ? i 'm happy for hallie . and i 'm happy for us . i mean , she 's ours now . we 're her parents , so i think we should be celebrating . let 's have a party back at the house . gwen : okay . will : yeah ? ali , do you want a ride ? alison : oh , it 's okay , i have my car . can i bring my -- can i bring matt ? he 's one of casey 's friends . will : yeah , definitely . and bring casey , too . alison : okay . gwen : you 'll come , too , yeah ? barbara : no , no . i have an appointment to attend to . you kids have fun . and enjoy that little girl . they grow up far too fast . gwen : okay .

that could cost you your license . at the very least , the investigation alone would bring to an end your drug trial . dr. cutler : are you threatening me , mr. abbott ? jack : i am informing you , doctor , i will bring your life 's work to a screeching halt if you do n't give me the information i need . stitch : you may no longer have a future with jack . that does not mean your life is over . kelly : you 'd think that , would n't you ?

kelly : she can not accept that jack ... can fall in love with somebody else . and we were in love , ben . we were so in love . we could have had a lifetime together . stitch : as tough as it is , you got to let that go . jack abbott made his choice . kelly : yeah , the wrong choice . stitch : i agree . my sister is one hell of a catch , okay ? but what jack wants , that 's -- that 's not for you and me to decide . kelly : i have to make some decisions of my own . stitch : jack is moving on with his life . and i suggest you do the same , as well , especially if jack 's fiancée is gon na be defending her turf by playing dangerous games . victoria : i really do n't want to get in the middle of this war between you and kelly . it 's gon na put me in a really awkward position . phyllis : because you 're involved with her brother ?

are you sure ? victoria : yes , i 'm positive . phyllis : kelly did n't want to keep things going ? victoria : i do n't know . i mean , there were a few times . there were some occasions when billy and kelly met up to talk . phyllis : okay . that 's it ? victoria : kelly was working for the foundation that was set up in dee dee 's name , and they maintained contact through that . phyllis : oh , that 's convenient . did that upset you ? victoria : yes , of course it upset me . yes , i mean , i was trying desperately to hang on to my marriage , and the woman that slept with my husband was hanging around . yeah , it upset me . phyllis : well , i know the feeling . it 's impossible to move on when someone refuses to let go . nick : oh , dry already ?

i 'm sorry . i should never have asked that . geez . it 's none of my business . nick : it 's cool . sharon did n't cheat on me . she did something much worse . she made me believe my oldest daughter was another man 's child . sage : oh , my god . that 's terrible . does faith ... ? nick : no , she has no idea . so that 's why when she looks at me with such contempt , it absolutely kills me because i just -- i want to yell , `` i 'm not the bad guy here , `` but i ca n't . sage : why ? why ? why ca n't you do that ? nick : because i do n't want faith to hate her mother . despite everything , sharon 's a great mother , and she loves faith so much , and i do n't want faith to have any doubt about that . sage : you 're a good dad . nick : [ sighs ] thanks . i try . but honestly , it 's nights like this where i really think i 'm failing . sage : do n't be so hard on yourself . sharon : faith ? ! nick : sharon ? what 's going on ? sharon : nick . oh , thank god . nick : okay , sharon , what are you doing here ? sharon : faith called . she said there was an emergency with you . i was so scared ! nick : there 's no emergency . everyone 's fine . if you would have called first , i would have saved you a trip . sharon : i tried calling ! you did n't answer your phone ! clearly you were busy with other things . nick : my ringer 's off . i never heard a call . sharon : is it too much to ask that i can get ahold of you while my daughter is staying here ? nick : do not turn this into me being irresponsible . you know damn well that faith is safe here . you need to stop checking on us , and you have to stop bursting into my home . sharon : faith called frantic ! what was i supposed to do , nick ? you were n't answering your phone ! should i just ignore our daughter , hope for the best ? nick : okay , we do n't need to get into this right now . the important thing is everyone 's fine and you can go on home now . faith : i want to go , too . will you take me home now , mommy ? nick : [ sighs ] kevin : you 're trying to push me away . mariah : you 're so full of yourself . kevin : it 's the same thing you did with nick and sharon . the minute anyone is the least bit nice to you , you start putting up all these walls . you should work on that . it 's very off - putting . mariah : so is having you constantly in my business . kevin : be glad . i 'm just trying to keep you from self - destructing . mariah : well , stop trying . i will manage to survive . you know , i 've -- i 've done it all of these years by myself without ever having met you . kevin : you and i are a lot alike , mariah . bad childhoods , lack of impulse control , terrible decision - making . mariah : so , if you 're as much of a loser as i am , why would i listen to you ? kevin : maybe i think that if i can keep you in check , it 'll keep me from imploding , too . and i can not afford to go down that path again . not now . not when my brother is counting on me to keep things together . mariah : how is he ? kevin : he 's hanging in . it 's weird , though , you know , having michael depend on me . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to let him down . mariah : you wo n't . kevin : yeah . listen , speaking of , uh , i 'm collecting money for this cancer run that we 're doing , and i was wondering if you might be willing to part with some of your tips from last night . mariah : this is everything . take it all . kevin : all of it ? mariah : it 's for a good cause , right ? kevin : i knew there was a decent person somewhere in there . and that 's why i like you . austin : like i said , do n't ruin a good thing . mariah : you are not reading the situation right . kevin and i are ... not like that . austin : oh . my bad . does n't mean you could n't be someday . fenmore : look , you barely knew austin before you guys got married . summer : i knew enough . fenmore : yeah , that he held your aunt hostage at gunpoint . summer : austin never meant to hurt my aunt avery , okay ? besides , she 's forgiven him , and so has everybody else . besides you , fen . what is that about ? fenmore : yeah , i just think that austin should have had to pay for his crime . summer : he did ! he got probation ! okay , that 's still a sentence , and if he does anything wrong within a year , he winds up going to prison . do n't you think that 's punishment ? fenmore : no ! the guy committed an armed felony ! i did , and i spent a month in prison . summer : well , that 's not austin 's fault . fenmore : yeah , i know that . summer : it does n't sound like you knew . fenmore : did you ever even find out if the guy can ski ? summer : okay , that is it ! ever since i 've gotten married , you have acted so judgmental ! but you do n't say what 's really on your mind , and it drives me crazy ! okay , so , you know , whatever you 're really thinking about me and austin , please just say it ! fenmore : okay . i think that the best thing that could happen to you would be for austin to cheat . summer : what ? fenmore : yeah , maybe then you 'd finally see the guy for the loser he is . summer , come on ! you asked me ! summer : i did not think that you were gon na say something so spiteful to me . you know , i have always had your back , fen . i guess it 's just too much for me to ask you to have mine . fenmore : do n't you see that this is me trying to do that ? i just -- i do n't want to see you get hurt . summer : that 's too late . fenmore : summer . victoria : i wasted a lot of time and energy being angry . phyllis : and how did you snap out of it ? victoria : i guess , um , i just focused on my kids . phyllis : summer and daniel are grown up . they do n't want my attention . victoria : okay , so concentrate on something else , like work or , i do n't know , planning your wedding . anything but kelly . phyllis : i wish i could if she would just stop playing the mind games she 's been playing since jack broke up with her . victoria : kelly 's not over jack ? phyllis : not by a long shot . she is determined to hang on to him . victoria : well , i guess i can understand why she 'd want to hold on to the one stable relationship that she 's had in her life . at least until now . you know , she 's had a lot of upheaval in the last few years . phyllis : you know , we 've all had it tough . but kelly is the only one going around torturing people because of it . jack : doctor , tell me about the other trial participants . dr. cutler : i refuse to disclose identities . jack : i 'm not asking for names and addresses . i want to know how they 're doing . dr. cutler : most have gone home to resume their lives . jack : have any of them reported a change in behavior ? a distinct change that the families are noticing ? dr. cutler : some do , yes . but that is n't unexpected in patients who 've experienced traumatic brain injuries . jack : and what kind of changes do you deem expected ? dr. cutler : some have had to relearn how to do basic things after their accidents . jack : thank god that 's not the case with phyllis . dr. cutler : and others have shown slight shifts in personality . jack : as in mood swings ? dr. cutler : sometimes it manifests itself in that way . or some patients have exhibited a lack of emotion , loss of empathy , questionable decision - making . jack : they no longer know right from wrong . dr. cutler : or they know the difference . there 's just no filter anymore . every action can be justified . jack : and phyllis is capable of almost anything . kelly : i am not concerned for myself , ben . i am worried about jack . stitch : what ? you think phyllis is gon na hurt jack ? kelly : who knows what she would do ? i can not let him marry that awful woman . i have to help him see phyllis for who she really is . not for my sake , but for his ! stitch : and put yourself at risk ? you ca n't do that ! kelly : i 'm not gon na give up on jack . stitch : okay , but phyllis is coming after you . she put poison in your tea . kelly : if somebody was trying to hurt victoria , ben , would n't you do everything you could possibly do to protect her ? stitch : that 's not the same . kelly : why ? because you have a chance with victoria ? stitch : because no one is going around poisoning my drinks to keep me away from victoria . you need to back off of this and let the police handle it . kelly : and -- and give phyllis another excuse to call me paranoid ? no way ! i am not gon na give that woman any more ammunition to use against me . stitch : yeah , well , whether you like it or not , that 's probably gon na be out of your hands . kelly : what did you do ? stitch : nothing . the hospital is obligated to report poisonings . so whether you like it or not , there 's probably gon na be an investigation . try to get some rest . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na stay right here . uh , i just need to call victoria and tell her that i ca n't make our date . kelly : no , ben . no . you should n't miss your date just so you can sit here and watch me sleep . stitch : i am worried about you . kelly : well , i will rest much better knowing that you and victoria are having a wonderful time together , okay ? please ? stitch : [ sighs ] all right . okay . but if you need me -- kelly : i have your number , okay ? have a lovely time with the person that you love . faith : i want to go home with mommy . nick : so , you do n't think you should be punished for your bad behavior ? sharon : what bad behavior ? nick : she was very rude earlier and was talking back , so i sent her up to her room . and that must be when she called you and told you there was an emergency . faith : it was an emergency . my stomach hurts . mommy 's the only one that can make it feel better . sharon : okay , sweetie , i 'll take you home . nick : good night , faith . faith : bye . nick : i need you to stop undermining me in front of our daughter . sharon : she does n't feel good , nick . nick : okay . i 'm gon na let this go tonight . sharon : you should be grateful . now you can get back to your evening . hope you both enjoy it . nick : we will . and knock next time . [ door closes ] kevin : hey . good news . i 've already raised over $ 1,500 for that cancer run i 'm doing with michael . fenmore : great . kevin : think you 'll be able to make it home from school for it ? fenmore : maybe . kevin : uh , i 'm guessing your mom and dad told you that michael has started treatment , right ? look , it 's nothing to worry about . as soon as he 's done , he 's gon na be cancer - free . fenmore : yeah , i know dad will beat this . kevin : well , try and sound a little more convincing when you talk to them , okay ? fenmore : yeah , you know , i just had a fight with summer , so ... kevin : about what ? fenmore : i think she made a mistake marrying austin . kevin : well , you did n't say that to her , though , did you ? fenmore : i may have , yes . kevin : dude , are they teaching you nothing in college ? you can not say that to a person . fenmore : yeah , but i 'm serious , kevin . you know , she should just let mariah have him . talk about two people who deserve each other . mariah : kevin is still hung up on his ex . he 's not looking to get involved . austin : yeah , well , sometimes things just happen . i mean , like with me and summer . we started out as friends , and look where that ended up . mariah : yeah , running from the police and hiding out in crappy motels really has a way of bringing people together . austin : yeah , i really wish that had happened differently . i hate the beginning of my relationship with her is tied to something awful like that . mariah : well , i know about doing awful things . people do n't usually forgive me , though , so you 're lucky . austin : i am . summer 's amazing . summer : hoping to get another kiss ? 'cause that 's not gon na happen . mariah : look , about that -- summer : you know , do n't bother explaining it to me . i already heard how you threw yourself at austin just like you threw yourself at tyler when he was with abby . mariah : summer , please -- summer : you know , it 's kind of pathetic , the way that you go after men who are not available . did you actually think you had a chance with either of them ? [ scoffs ] please . you are an awful human who will never know what true love is like because no one can even stand to be around you . jack : hey . where have you been ? phyllis : went out and got some air . then i had a drink with victoria . jack : at the club ? phyllis : yeah . you can call and check my story . would n't be the first time you accuse me of lying . seems to be happening all the time . jack : i do n't like what 's happening between us . we 're arguing all the time . i want it to stop . phyllis : well , i do n't know if that 's possible . not until kelly is out of our lives for good . there does n't seem to be any lingering effects from whatever you ingested . kelly : you still do n't know what it is ? we 're waiting for the toxicology results . kelly : oh . but i 'm all clear , right ? kelly , understand that i still need to file a report about the poison . kelly : why ? i mean , it was an accident . you sure about that ? kelly : yes . it was really silly how it all happened . i was handling some chemicals at work , and i must not have cleaned my hands efficiently afterwards . so ... now that we know the cause , how soon can i be released ? stitch : hey . victoria : oh , hi . stitch : hey , sorry i could n't call . victoria : no , it 's okay . i 'm just glad to finally hear from you . so , tell me . what 's going on with your sister ? stitch : oh . well ... victoria : oh , thank you . stitch : she 'll be all right as soon as she gets jack out of her life . his fiancée tried to poison her . victoria : phyllis ? stitch : yeah . victoria : [ chuckles ] are -- do you have proof ? what are you talking about ? stitch : kelly says phyllis has been trying to cause all kinds of trouble , you know , setting it up to look like kelly 's some kind of stalker . victoria : well , that 's crazy . i mean , phyllis was just here saying the same thing about kelly . stitch : yeah , well , that does n't surprise me . you know , it was n't enough that jack proposed to that woman , which completely destroyed kelly . but now phyllis is intent on punishing my sister for ever getting involved with jack . victoria : uh , okay . so , how do we know which one of them is telling the truth ? stitch : clearly my sister . she 's the one in the hospital after drinking poisoned tea . victoria : ben , it 's just -- it 's not that black and white . stitch : it 's pretty black and white . victoria : well , we ca n't jump to conclusions that phyllis did it . i mean , there must be some other explanation for how the poison ended up in the tea . phyllis was n't the only one with access to it . stitch : what are you saying ? that my sister poisoned herself ? sharon : you seem to be in better spirits . and miraculously , your tummy seems to feel better . faith : my tummy really did n't hurt . i just did n't want to stay with daddy . sharon : faith , you really should n't make up stories , and you should never , ever call and pretend there 's an emergency . i was very worried . faith : i just did n't want to have to share my time with daddy . sharon : what were your daddy and that woman talking about ? faith : i heard daddy tell the woman to take off her clothes . nick : sorry about the ugly domestic scene . sage : well , i feel partly responsible for what went down here . faith probably feels displaced by me being here . nick : well , she needs to learn that she ca n't cry wolf and have her mother come running every time she sees me talking to another woman . sage : yeah , but things are open to misinterpretation considering i was walking around in your robe with no pants on . [ both laugh ] sage : i 'm gon na avoid all liquids from now on . nick : so , does that mean you intend to see me again ? kevin : mariah 's not interested in austin . she was upset , so she did something outrageous . it 's what she does . it 's what i do , too . i mean , she 's -- she 's not a bad person . she just , you know ... fenmore : what ? she 's misunderstood ? [ scoffs ] you sound like summer . she 's real quick to make excuses , too , blinded by love . kevin . hey , you 're not into mariah -- austin : you did not have to be that rude to mariah . summer : she kissed you ! do you honestly expect me to be nice to her ? ! austin : yeah , but did you have to be so cruel ? i told you the kiss meant nothing . summer : you sure about that ? austin : yeah , i 'm s -- where 's that coming from ? summer : i was talking to fen , and fen -- austin : oh , i get it . okay , so your rich friend 's trying to make it out i 'm not good enough , right ? which is probably true 'cause i do n't have a huge bank account or a fancy car . but you know what i do n't do ? i do n't kick people when they 're down , which is more than i can say for you . stitch : my sister is not suicidal . victoria : okay , i did n't mean that . stitch : if kelly was gon na kill herself , it would have been after her son died . sam was her entire world . losing him was far worse than losing jack could ever be . victoria : i know it was , okay ? but having lost sam and jack , maybe -- stitch : this has to be phyllis . victoria : i 've known phyllis for a long time . i have . and she can be very vindictive , but her life is really good right now . she has no reason to feel insecure . so there must be something else going on here . jack : eventually kelly will come to terms with the fact that i have moved on . until then , i think it 's best you keep your distance , that way there are no misunderstandings . phyllis : i understand perfectly . kelly wants to drive me out of your life . jack : that will never happen . i have made that abundantly clear to kelly . phyllis : i did , too . jack : wait . how ?

do you ? if you really believe what i told you , that i did n't do those things to kelly , then why ambush me ? jack : i wanted to make sure that there are no lasting effects from your coma . phyllis : the only lasting effect is that you fell in love with a crazy woman while i was gone . and now we are stuck with her . stitch : hey . hey , sis . kelly : hey , ben . why am i in a hospital ?

kelly : phyllis just keeps trying to make me look bad with jack , you know , accusing me of doing things i did n't do . stitch : did you tell jack about this ? kelly : the whole thing has put him in such an uncomfortable position . so i decided i 'd try to call a truce with phyllis . i even arranged for us to have tea . stitch : today ? kelly : i had to get up to deal with some hotel business , and i left her alone at the table . that 's when she could have put something into my drink . stitch : [ scoffs ] why would she do that ? kelly : she just ca n't stand the fact that jack and i were together when she was sick . stitch : but it 's over . phyllis and jack are getting married . i mean , what does she have to gain by doing something that extreme ?

because you gave me this lecture the other night . kevin : oh , good . you were listening . mariah : yeah , i probably was , since i have n't made a pass at anybody since . kevin : well , i 'm glad to hear that . mariah : why ? why do you care so much about what happens to me ? fenmore : austin kissed mariah ? summer : no , mariah kissed austin . she was just using him like she uses everybody . fenmore : why are you so sure the kiss was one - sided ? summer : because she 's a manipulative , self - absorbed skank . i mean , austin could never be interested in someone like that . fenmore : and you just -- you just know this ? summer : yeah , austin told me . fenmore : people say a lot of things when they get caught doing something they should n't . summer : no , i did n't catch austin and mariah doing anything . austin told me because he has nothing to hide . fenmore : yeah , or he was looking to cover up things before the truth came out . summer : no , that 's -- that 's not my husband . you do n't -- you do n't really know him . fenmore : neither do you . sage : i 'm just a big , old klutz who knocked over a vase and spilled water all over my clothes . and your daddy was nice enough to loan me his robe while my pants are in the dryer . faith : you should n't be here . nick : faith , that is no way to talk to a guest , young lady . faith : but it 's supposed to be my night with you , daddy . sage : i did n't mean to intrude on your plans . faith : well , they 're ruined now . nick : okay , you need to apologize right now . faith : but it 's the truth ! she did ruin them ! just like avery ! nick : are you sure this is how you want to play this ?

jack : unfortunately , no . phyllis is unable to accept that there are coma- related causes for her strange behavior . dr. cutler : i 'm not sure why you 've asked me to come back here . jack : i 'd like to talk to you about your other patients . dr. cutler : mr. abbott , as i 've already made quite clear , speaking about other patients would be a breach of confidentiality . jack : i find it ironic , doctor , that you are such a stickler for adhering to the rules now when you broke so many just treating phyllis . dr. cutler : i had no idea that phyllis ' family had n't actually given their consent . victor newman provided all the necessary documentation for phyllis to be enrolled in the trial . jack : and i 'm sure mr. newman also provided a healthy donation to your clinic . dr. cutler : my highest concern is my patients . jack : can you prove that , doctor , if i have a team of lawyers making the case that you were paid off to be quiet about phyllis ' treatment ? that could cost you your license . at the very least , the investigation alone would bring to an end your drug trial . dr. cutler : are you threatening me , mr. abbott ? jack : i am informing you , doctor , i will bring your life 's work to a screeching halt if you do n't give me the information i need . stitch : you may no longer have a future with jack . that does not mean your life is over . kelly : you 'd think that , would n't you ? stitch : look , you still have a job you really enjoy , friends who care about you , and a brother who wants to see you happy . kelly : i mean , as much as you want to understand , ben ... you have no idea how difficult this has been for me . stitch : okay , well , tell me , then . kelly : [ voice breaking ] i keep trying . i keep trying to rise above . i keep trying to do the right thing , but phyllis is making it impossible ! stitch : how ? kelly : she can not accept that jack ... can fall in love with somebody else . and we were in love , ben . we were so in love . we could have had a lifetime together . stitch : as tough as it is , you got to let that go . jack abbott made his choice . kelly : yeah , the wrong choice . stitch : i agree . my sister is one hell of a catch , okay ? but what jack wants , that 's -- that 's not for you and me to decide . kelly : i have to make some decisions of my own . stitch : jack is moving on with his life . and i suggest you do the same , as well , especially if jack 's fiancée is gon na be defending her turf by playing dangerous games . victoria : i really do n't want to get in the middle of this war between you and kelly . it 's gon na put me in a really awkward position . phyllis : because you 're involved with her brother ? victoria : yes , that 's right . phyllis : that 's good , because i do n't expect you to pick a side . victoria : well , what do you expect , phyllis ? phyllis : a little insight to the other woman . i know you 've been where i am right now -- kelly smack in the middle of your relationship . victoria : well , there 's a big difference . billy had a one - night stand with kelly . jack was in a committed relationship with her . phyllis : just a one - night stand with billy ? are you sure ? victoria : yes , i 'm positive . phyllis : kelly did n't want to keep things going ? victoria : i do n't know . i mean , there were a few times . there were some occasions when billy and kelly met up to talk . phyllis : okay . that 's it ? victoria : kelly was working for the foundation that was set up in dee dee 's name , and they maintained contact through that . phyllis : oh , that 's convenient . did that upset you ? victoria : yes , of course it upset me . yes , i mean , i was trying desperately to hang on to my marriage , and the woman that slept with my husband was hanging around . yeah , it upset me . phyllis : well , i know the feeling . it 's impossible to move on when someone refuses to let go . nick : oh , dry already ? sage : drier than they were . how 's faith ? nick : she 's , uh , mad at me , but that 's nothing new . sage : she closer to her mom ? nick : for now . she blames me for moving out and breaking up our family . sage : but you and her mother explained why it has to be that way . she 's just not buying it ? nick : well , faith does n't understand why i have n't forgiven sharon yet . she knows sharon did something , and she knows that she already apologized for it , and in faith 's mind , that should be good enough to make things right . sage : if only it were that easy . nick : yeah . if only . but what sharon did , an apology is n't gon na fix that . sage : was there someone else ? i 'm sorry . i should never have asked that . geez . it 's none of my business . nick : it 's cool . sharon did n't cheat on me . she did something much worse . she made me believe my oldest daughter was another man 's child . sage : oh , my god . that 's terrible . does faith ... ? nick : no , she has no idea . so that 's why when she looks at me with such contempt , it absolutely kills me because i just -- i want to yell , `` i 'm not the bad guy here , `` but i ca n't . sage : why ? why ? why ca n't you do that ? nick : because i do n't want faith to hate her mother . despite everything , sharon 's a great mother , and she loves faith so much , and i do n't want faith to have any doubt about that . sage : you 're a good dad . nick : [ sighs ] thanks . i try . but honestly , it 's nights like this where i really think i 'm failing . sage : do n't be so hard on yourself . sharon : faith ? ! nick : sharon ? what 's going on ? sharon : nick . oh , thank god . nick : okay , sharon , what are you doing here ? sharon : faith called . she said there was an emergency with you . i was so scared ! nick : there 's no emergency . everyone 's fine . if you would have called first , i would have saved you a trip . sharon : i tried calling ! you did n't answer your phone ! clearly you were busy with other things . nick : my ringer 's off . i never heard a call . sharon : is it too much to ask that i can get ahold of you while my daughter is staying here ? nick : do not turn this into me being irresponsible . you know damn well that faith is safe here . you need to stop checking on us , and you have to stop bursting into my home . sharon : faith called frantic ! what was i supposed to do , nick ? you were n't answering your phone ! should i just ignore our daughter , hope for the best ? nick : okay , we do n't need to get into this right now . the important thing is everyone 's fine and you can go on home now . faith : i want to go , too . will you take me home now , mommy ? nick : [ sighs ] kevin : you 're trying to push me away . mariah : you 're so full of yourself . kevin : it 's the same thing you did with nick and sharon . the minute anyone is the least bit nice to you , you start putting up all these walls . you should work on that . it 's very off - putting . mariah : so is having you constantly in my business . kevin : be glad . i 'm just trying to keep you from self - destructing . mariah : well , stop trying . i will manage to survive . you know , i 've -- i 've done it all of these years by myself without ever having met you . kevin : you and i are a lot alike , mariah . bad childhoods , lack of impulse control , terrible decision - making . mariah : so , if you 're as much of a loser as i am , why would i listen to you ? kevin : maybe i think that if i can keep you in check , it 'll keep me from imploding , too . and i can not afford to go down that path again . not now . not when my brother is counting on me to keep things together . mariah : how is he ? kevin : he 's hanging in . it 's weird , though , you know , having michael depend on me . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to let him down . mariah : you wo n't . kevin : yeah . listen , speaking of , uh , i 'm collecting money for this cancer run that we 're doing , and i was wondering if you might be willing to part with some of your tips from last night . mariah : this is everything . take it all . kevin : all of it ? mariah : it 's for a good cause , right ? kevin : i knew there was a decent person somewhere in there . and that 's why i like you . austin : like i said , do n't ruin a good thing . mariah : you are not reading the situation right . kevin and i are ... not like that . austin : oh . my bad . does n't mean you could n't be someday . fenmore : look , you barely knew austin before you guys got married . summer : i knew enough . fenmore : yeah , that he held your aunt hostage at gunpoint . summer : austin never meant to hurt my aunt avery , okay ? besides , she 's forgiven him , and so has everybody else . besides you , fen . what is that about ? fenmore : yeah , i just think that austin should have had to pay for his crime . summer : he did ! he got probation ! okay , that 's still a sentence , and if he does anything wrong within a year , he winds up going to prison . do n't you think that 's punishment ? fenmore : no ! the guy committed an armed felony ! i did , and i spent a month in prison . summer : well , that 's not austin 's fault . fenmore : yeah , i know that . summer : it does n't sound like you knew . fenmore : did you ever even find out if the guy can ski ? summer : okay , that is it ! ever since i 've gotten married , you have acted so judgmental ! but you do n't say what 's really on your mind , and it drives me crazy ! okay , so , you know , whatever you 're really thinking about me and austin , please just say it ! fenmore : okay . i think that the best thing that could happen to you would be for austin to cheat . summer : what ? fenmore : yeah , maybe then you 'd finally see the guy for the loser he is . summer , come on ! you asked me ! summer : i did not think that you were gon na say something so spiteful to me . you know , i have always had your back , fen . i guess it 's just too much for me to ask you to have mine . fenmore : do n't you see that this is me trying to do that ? i just -- i do n't want to see you get hurt . summer : that 's too late . fenmore : summer . victoria : i wasted a lot of time and energy being angry . phyllis : and how did you snap out of it ? victoria : i guess , um , i just focused on my kids . phyllis : summer and daniel are grown up . they do n't want my attention . victoria : okay , so concentrate on something else , like work or , i do n't know , planning your wedding . anything but kelly . phyllis : i wish i could if she would just stop playing the mind games she 's been playing since jack broke up with her . victoria : kelly 's not over jack ? phyllis : not by a long shot . she is determined to hang on to him . victoria : well , i guess i can understand why she 'd want to hold on to the one stable relationship that she 's had in her life . at least until now . you know , she 's had a lot of upheaval in the last few years . phyllis : you know , we 've all had it tough . but kelly is the only one going around torturing people because of it . jack : doctor , tell me about the other trial participants . dr. cutler : i refuse to disclose identities . jack : i 'm not asking for names and addresses . i want to know how they 're doing . dr. cutler : most have gone home to resume their lives . jack : have any of them reported a change in behavior ? a distinct change that the families are noticing ? dr. cutler : some do , yes . but that is n't unexpected in patients who 've experienced traumatic brain injuries . jack : and what kind of changes do you deem expected ? dr. cutler : some have had to relearn how to do basic things after their accidents . jack : thank god that 's not the case with phyllis . dr. cutler : and others have shown slight shifts in personality . jack : as in mood swings ? dr. cutler : sometimes it manifests itself in that way . or some patients have exhibited a lack of emotion , loss of empathy , questionable decision - making . jack : they no longer know right from wrong . dr. cutler : or they know the difference . there 's just no filter anymore . every action can be justified . jack : and phyllis is capable of almost anything . kelly : i am not concerned for myself , ben . i am worried about jack . stitch : what ? you think phyllis is gon na hurt jack ? kelly : who knows what she would do ? i can not let him marry that awful woman . i have to help him see phyllis for who she really is . not for my sake , but for his ! stitch : and put yourself at risk ? you ca n't do that ! kelly : i 'm not gon na give up on jack . stitch : okay , but phyllis is coming after you . she put poison in your tea . kelly : if somebody was trying to hurt victoria , ben , would n't you do everything you could possibly do to protect her ? stitch : that 's not the same . kelly : why ? because you have a chance with victoria ? stitch : because no one is going around poisoning my drinks to keep me away from victoria . you need to back off of this and let the police handle it . kelly : and -- and give phyllis another excuse to call me paranoid ? no way ! i am not gon na give that woman any more ammunition to use against me . stitch : yeah , well , whether you like it or not , that 's probably gon na be out of your hands . kelly : what did you do ? stitch : nothing . the hospital is obligated to report poisonings . so whether you like it or not , there 's probably gon na be an investigation . try to get some rest . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na stay right here . uh , i just need to call victoria and tell her that i ca n't make our date . kelly : no , ben . no . you should n't miss your date just so you can sit here and watch me sleep . stitch : i am worried about you . kelly : well , i will rest much better knowing that you and victoria are having a wonderful time together , okay ? please ? stitch : [ sighs ] all right . okay . but if you need me -- kelly : i have your number , okay ? have a lovely time with the person that you love . faith : i want to go home with mommy . nick : so , you do n't think you should be punished for your bad behavior ? sharon : what bad behavior ? nick : she was very rude earlier and was talking back , so i sent her up to her room . and that must be when she called you and told you there was an emergency . faith : it was an emergency . my stomach hurts . mommy 's the only one that can make it feel better . sharon : okay , sweetie , i 'll take you home . nick : good night , faith . faith : bye . nick : i need you to stop undermining me in front of our daughter . sharon : she does n't feel good , nick . nick : okay . i 'm gon na let this go tonight . sharon : you should be grateful . now you can get back to your evening . hope you both enjoy it . nick : we will . and knock next time . [ door closes ] kevin : hey . good news . i 've already raised over $ 1,500 for that cancer run i 'm doing with michael . fenmore : great . kevin : think you 'll be able to make it home from school for it ? fenmore : maybe . kevin : uh , i 'm guessing your mom and dad told you that michael has started treatment , right ? look , it 's nothing to worry about . as soon as he 's done , he 's gon na be cancer - free . fenmore : yeah , i know dad will beat this . kevin : well , try and sound a little more convincing when you talk to them , okay ? fenmore : yeah , you know , i just had a fight with summer , so ... kevin : about what ? fenmore : i think she made a mistake marrying austin . kevin : well , you did n't say that to her , though , did you ? fenmore : i may have , yes . kevin : dude , are they teaching you nothing in college ? you can not say that to a person . fenmore : yeah , but i 'm serious , kevin . you know , she should just let mariah have him . talk about two people who deserve each other . mariah : kevin is still hung up on his ex . he 's not looking to get involved . austin : yeah , well , sometimes things just happen . i mean , like with me and summer . we started out as friends , and look where that ended up . mariah : yeah , running from the police and hiding out in crappy motels really has a way of bringing people together . austin : yeah , i really wish that had happened differently . i hate the beginning of my relationship with her is tied to something awful like that . mariah : well , i know about doing awful things . people do n't usually forgive me , though , so you 're lucky . austin : i am . summer 's amazing . summer : hoping to get another kiss ? 'cause that 's not gon na happen . mariah : look , about that -- summer : you know , do n't bother explaining it to me . i already heard how you threw yourself at austin just like you threw yourself at tyler when he was with abby . mariah : summer , please -- summer : you know , it 's kind of pathetic , the way that you go after men who are not available . did you actually think you had a chance with either of them ? [ scoffs ] please . you are an awful human who will never know what true love is like because no one can even stand to be around you . jack : hey . where have you been ? phyllis : went out and got some air . then i had a drink with victoria . jack : at the club ? phyllis : yeah . you can call and check my story . would n't be the first time you accuse me of lying . seems to be happening all the time . jack : i do n't like what 's happening between us . we 're arguing all the time . i want it to stop . phyllis : well , i do n't know if that 's possible . not until kelly is out of our lives for good . there does n't seem to be any lingering effects from whatever you ingested . kelly : you still do n't know what it is ? we 're waiting for the toxicology results . kelly : oh . but i 'm all clear , right ? kelly , understand that i still need to file a report about the poison . kelly : why ? i mean , it was an accident . you sure about that ? kelly : yes . it was really silly how it all happened . i was handling some chemicals at work , and i must not have cleaned my hands efficiently afterwards . so ... now that we know the cause , how soon can i be released ? stitch : hey . victoria : oh , hi . stitch : hey , sorry i could n't call . victoria : no , it 's okay . i 'm just glad to finally hear from you . so , tell me . what 's going on with your sister ? stitch : oh . well ... victoria : oh , thank you . stitch : she 'll be all right as soon as she gets jack out of her life . his fiancée tried to poison her . victoria : phyllis ? stitch : yeah . victoria : [ chuckles ] are -- do you have proof ? what are you talking about ? stitch : kelly says phyllis has been trying to cause all kinds of trouble , you know , setting it up to look like kelly 's some kind of stalker . victoria : well , that 's crazy . i mean , phyllis was just here saying the same thing about kelly . stitch : yeah , well , that does n't surprise me . you know , it was n't enough that jack proposed to that woman , which completely destroyed kelly . but now phyllis is intent on punishing my sister for ever getting involved with jack . victoria : uh , okay . so , how do we know which one of them is telling the truth ? stitch : clearly my sister . she 's the one in the hospital after drinking poisoned tea . victoria : ben , it 's just -- it 's not that black and white . stitch : it 's pretty black and white . victoria : well , we ca n't jump to conclusions that phyllis did it . i mean , there must be some other explanation for how the poison ended up in the tea . phyllis was n't the only one with access to it . stitch : what are you saying ? that my sister poisoned herself ? sharon : you seem to be in better spirits . and miraculously , your tummy seems to feel better . faith : my tummy really did n't hurt . i just did n't want to stay with daddy . sharon : faith , you really should n't make up stories , and you should never , ever call and pretend there 's an emergency . i was very worried . faith : i just did n't want to have to share my time with daddy . sharon : what were your daddy and that woman talking about ? faith : i heard daddy tell the woman to take off her clothes . nick : sorry about the ugly domestic scene . sage : well , i feel partly responsible for what went down here . faith probably feels displaced by me being here . nick : well , she needs to learn that she ca n't cry wolf and have her mother come running every time she sees me talking to another woman . sage : yeah , but things are open to misinterpretation considering i was walking around in your robe with no pants on . [ both laugh ] sage : i 'm gon na avoid all liquids from now on . nick : so , does that mean you intend to see me again ? kevin : mariah 's not interested in austin . she was upset , so she did something outrageous . it 's what she does . it 's what i do , too . i mean , she 's -- she 's not a bad person . she just , you know ... fenmore : what ? she 's misunderstood ? [ scoffs ] you sound like summer . she 's real quick to make excuses , too , blinded by love . kevin . hey , you 're not into mariah -- austin : you did not have to be that rude to mariah . summer : she kissed you ! do you honestly expect me to be nice to her ? ! austin : yeah , but did you have to be so cruel ? i told you the kiss meant nothing . summer : you sure about that ? austin : yeah , i 'm s -- where 's that coming from ? summer : i was talking to fen , and fen -- austin : oh , i get it . okay , so your rich friend 's trying to make it out i 'm not good enough , right ? which is probably true 'cause i do n't have a huge bank account or a fancy car . but you know what i do n't do ? i do n't kick people when they 're down , which is more than i can say for you . stitch : my sister is not suicidal . victoria : okay , i did n't mean that . stitch : if kelly was gon na kill herself , it would have been after her son died . sam was her entire world . losing him was far worse than losing jack could ever be . victoria : i know it was , okay ? but having lost sam and jack , maybe -- stitch : this has to be phyllis . victoria : i 've known phyllis for a long time . i have . and she can be very vindictive , but her life is really good right now . she has no reason to feel insecure . so there must be something else going on here . jack : eventually kelly will come to terms with the fact that i have moved on . until then , i think it 's best you keep your distance , that way there are no misunderstandings . phyllis : i understand perfectly . kelly wants to drive me out of your life . jack : that will never happen . i have made that abundantly clear to kelly . phyllis : i did , too . jack : wait . how ?

[ both chuckle ] meredith : so is the fact that , um , my family might have an opportunity for a second chance , and perhaps yours can , too . nikki : victor told you he wants that ? meredith : he did . and that 's why i 'm going to do everything i can to ensure his early release . nikki : what ? meredith : oh , inmates can be rehabilitated and redeemed . i see it all the time . and i especially see it with victor -- his talent , his energy , his heart . i mean , it 's -- it 's being wasted in there . your husband is a good man . nikki : yeah , that 's easy for you to say . you 're not married to him . victor : i was railroaded , made to look like a criminal by my own family , when all i was doing is protect my family and my company . russell : yes . i have read the courtroom transcripts . victor : well , then you know . russell : and even if half of what your son said is true , you deserve to be in here all 10 years . goodbye , mr. newman . victor : one -- one second , judge . you know how difficult it is ... for the son of a powerful man . i understand that you have trouble with your own boy , who could n't amount to your standards and criteria . russell : damn it , you have no right . victor : judge ... i was convicted for 10 years . i have a right to defend myself . russell : that gives you the pass ... so you can play on my emotions like you did on my daughter 's . well , maybe she could n't see through you , but i can . and , for the record , i do know guilty from innocent , and you , sir , are guilty as sin . adam : baby , this is exactly what victor wants . all right ? he 's gon na prey on our insecurities , get us to doubt each other , get us to argue , get us to fight , lose trust . listen ... we need to prove to everyone ... and we need to prove to ourselves ... that we 're forever . and we are , right ? we 're forever ? chelsea : you 're so right . adam : i am right , are n't i ? hot damn ! i 'm right ! chelsea : i , uh ... i was n't planning on doing this today , but i - i want to show you something . adam : what did you do ? what did you get me ? wow . our wedding rings . chelsea : yeah , adam : have n't seen these in a long time . chelsea : i had them engraved . adam : why did n't you tell me ? chelsea : well , i mean , when you first came back ... to town , we had enough things working against us . i did n't want to tempt fate . but , of course , i - i hoped that , eventually , you know , when -- when things settled down ... adam : `` now and forever . `` i mean , this is it right here . these rings , you know -- this is , uh -- they 'll be our symbol , all right ? like a force field , right ? a symbol of our love , that you and i are indestructible , we 're nonstop , we are forever . chelsea : almost sounds like a vow . [ chuckles ] adam : you and connor ... you 're everything to me . and without you guys , nothing else matters . chelsea : marry me . adam : i -- really -- babe , come on . i mean , i was leading up to something there . you could n't tell ? chelsea : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . adam : i wanted to be the one to ask you . chelsea : so ask . adam : chelsea ... lawson newman ... will you please ... please marry me again ? chelsea : yes . adam : yes ! yes ! chelsea : [ laughs ] adam : yes ! see ? that 's so great . i mean , we have no , you know , bridesmaids . we have no guests . we have no maid of honor . we have no cake . we do n't have a deejay . we got nothin ' . chelsea : you and me . that 's all we need . [ squeals ] adam : god , i love you . chelsea : [ chuckles ] mm . nikki : take it from someone who has known victor a lifetime . the man is a chameleon . he can become anything he needs to become to get what he wants . he 's very smart , he 's calculating , and he can be very dangerous . meredith : yet you stay with him . nikki : i leave from time to time , but i do come back . i love my husband . and i suppose , comparatively speaking , other men seem ... a bit tepid , tame . i mean , life with victor is many things , but it 's never boring . perhaps you have experienced that . meredith : experienced what ? nikki : well , the pull to a man like victor or maybe even victor himself . i would n't be surprised . i mean , he can sit there and look at you with his soulful eyes , speaking in that deep voice and telling you everything you want to hear . but make no mistake . it 's his wants , his needs . and right now , my dear , that is walking out of prison and punishing every one of us who put him there . meredith : from everything that i know about victor , all he wants is forgiveness . so if you love him the way you say you do , perhaps you 'll give him the chance to prove it . nikki : excuse me . um ... a vodka martini , please . jack : what do you say we get out of here , go home , and forget this day ever happened ? phyllis : i say lead the way . nikki : thank you . phyllis : what ? jack : when it comes to happiness , not everybody 's as lucky as we are . um , honey , i ca n't watch her -- phyllis : i get it . just do your thing . victoria : hey . who do you have to know to get a drink around here ? travis : if it is n't my favorite dance partner . the way you left here last time , i was n't sure i 'd ever see you again . victoria : [ sighs ] well , i was supposed to work late tonight , but ... i thought , `` what the hell ? `` there 's something about your jukebox . travis : just the jukebox , huh ? that 's what brought you back ? victoria : what else ? travis : so ? how is it ? victoria : it 's good . travis : just good ? victoria : it 's mind - blowing . travis : that 's more like it . victoria : [ chuckles ] travis : my shift 's over . victoria : yeah ? travis : look , i know you were n't too keen on the idea before , but i 'd still like to invite you back to my place , if you want to just come back -- victoria : yes . travis : yeah ? you sure ? victoria : yeah . travis : my night just got infinitely better . adam : you know , the first time we did this , i think i was a bit of a jackass . i remember comparing you to an i.p.o . chelsea : [ chuckles ] that 's okay . i compared you to a surfboard . adam : yeah . [ chuckles ] i feel like the second time was a little more heartfelt , though , right ? chelsea : you said , `` every day , i 'm going to earn you all over again . `` adam : and i meant every word that i said to you and connor . most of the things , i could n't say . chelsea : delia ? adam : delia . but now i get to look at you , in your eyes ... commit myself to you all over again ... with no secrets ... nothing standing in our way , knowing that you know me . you know the depths of my soul . you love me anyway . chelsea : how does it feel ? adam : indescribable . knowing that you trust me ... when i do n't trust myself , you love me ... always . knowing that you are ... the best partner anyone could ever ask for ... in every sense of the word . i love you today . i will love you tomorrow . now and forever . chelsea : well ... [ breathes deeply ] ... let me just set the record straight . adam : uh - oh . chelsea : [ sighs ] i do n't love you despite your soul , adam . i love you because of it . there 's a reason i 've always supported you . there 's a reason i 've never been able to walk out that door , even though i 've threatened to . you are a good person . you are ... everything i 've ever wanted and everything i - i did n't even know i wanted . [ chuckles , sighs ] i love you , adam newman ... today ... tomorrow ... now and forever . adam : look at us , huh ? chelsea : [ chuckle s ] adam : yeah ? almost like we never had them off . beautiful , right ? chelsea : and we never will again . [ sighs softly ] hold me tight make me take a deep breath tell me it 's gon na be all right take this weight off my chest 'cause that is all that i want from you now right now that 's all for now billy : what do you got there ? what 's in your hand ? johnny : a button . billy : [ sighs ] jack : what happened to calling me when temptation strikes ? nikki : i do n't know , jack . uh , no cell service ? how 'bout that ? jack : could you please give us a club soda and take this away ? if i had n't been here , you 'd be drinking that . nikki : well , i still might be after you leave . jack : nikki . nikki : i just found out that victor might be coming home . phyllis : what ? ! how ? nikki : he has somebody advocating for him from the inside -- his doctor , some meredith gates . i just met with her , and it 's obvious she 's already wrapped around his finger . phyllis : what can victor 's doctor do ? adam : oh , nothing . uh , meredith is not the dangerous one . it 's her father . nikki : oh ? adam : judge russell gates . jack : what , the head of the judicial review board ? adam : i 've had a conversation with him . i told him victor has an agenda , that he 's using his daughter to get what we wants . victor 's not going anywhere . nikki : oh , he will find a way , i promise you . i know better than anyone the effect that victor can have on somebody . i tried to tell this woman ! i guess some people just need to learn the hard way . phyllis : i need to get some air . jack : i should , uh , probably look after her . chelsea : you know what ? i - i - i got this . i could use a breathe of fresh air myself . jack : thank you . chelsea : yeah . nikki : i 'm sorry . i - i - i 'm letting my troubles upset your evening . i 'm sorry . adam : no , no . nikki , come on . your troubles are our troubles . that 's the way victor wants it . meredith : victor . what happened ? are you injured ? i mean , please do n't tell me that somebody attacked you again . victor : no one laid a finger on me . meredith : good . victor : yeah . meredith : listen , one day this whole place will be a distant memory and you 'll be home safe . victor : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i wonder if ... any of my family will be there to welcome me home . meredith : i would like to be able to argue with you ... victor : mm . meredith : ... but i just ran in to your wife . victor : hmm . next time you run in to her , just ... tell her to rest assured that i will be in here for a long time . meredith : why are you saying that ? i have n't even spoken to my father yet . victor : oh . my son beat you to it . meredith : what ? victor : yeah . my son adam approached your dad , and he told him that ... i was using you to secure my release . meredith : oh . are you ? are you using me ? are they right ? you 've just been playing me ? phyllis : did they send you out here to babysit me ? chelsea : no , no . i just needed to regroup . the more i listen to nikki talk about how victor is playing the system ... phyllis : the more your throat closes up ? chelsea : yeah . but , you know , it 's -- it 's a big park , so if you want to be alone , it 's -- phyllis : hey , no . no . it 's okay . what ? chelsea : sorry . you , um -- you 're missing a button . phyllis : i sure am . i - i did n't notice . chelsea : that 's one of the hazards of what i do . i notice things like this . actually , i might have a spa if you need one . phyllis : oh , no . that 's all right . do n't worry about it . some things ca n't be replaced . chelsea : that 's very true . sometimes things that you think e lost forever eventually find their way back to you . phyllis : is that a ring i spy ? chelsea : yeah . adam and i renewed our vows . phyllis : [ chuckles ] well , i think that 's wonderful . congratulations . chelsea : thank you . thank you so much . phyllis : you and adam have n't always had it ea , have you ? chelsea : no . phyllis : no , but you made it out on the other side ? chelsea : yeah , we have . you know , you and jack have really been an inspiration for us . you 've gotten through everything . you 've stuck together and you 've proven that if you fight , you can weather pretty much anything . phyllis : it 's getting late . i 'm gon na head on out . chelsea : phyllis ? did i -- did i s something ? phyllis : no . chelsea : look , um , i know we 're not close , but ... you can talk to me . victor : well , have you ever known anyone who was incarcerated who did n't want to get out ? meredith : [ sighs ] you 'd be surprised , actually . yes , though they 're in the minority . victor : [ chuckles ] certainly hope so . but i am someone who wants to get out . i was wrongly convicted . meredith : hmm . your wife calls you a chameleon . she says that you 'll be whatever you need to be in order to get what you want . victor : where did you have this conversation with her ? meredith : why ? victor : just tell me . meredith : the bar at the athletic club . victor : oh , my goodness . ay , ay , ay , ay . well , that explains it . she has a problem with , uh ... meredith : alcohol . victor : yeah . i can see it all falling apart ... my family , their families ... my company , and no one is able to ... put back the pieces . meredith : but you think you can ? victor : yeah . i certainly know how to do it . you bet . nikki : [ sighs ] well , it 's not coincidence that i came here , is it ? of all places . what i would n't give to have you sitting next to me right now -- hold my hand when i 'm scared ... help me with this damn ... need to numb all the pain and the loneliness and just tell it like it is . i miss that so much . katherine , please help me . give me the strength ... and the grit that i need ... to power through , please . [ sighs ] phyllis : you really should n't put jack and me on such a pedestal . we have had our issues , just like everybody else . chelsea : yeah , but that 's just it . those issues could have torn you apart . i mean ... phyllis , after what victor did to you , my god . but it did n't . look at you guys . you 're standing strong . you 're together . you 're -- you 're stronger -- stronger than ever . you know , adam said not to ever take this off again , but i want to show you the inscription .

[ sighs ] billy : `` and mama and papa bird flew back to their nest , and they were so relieved . all six eggs were still there , safe and sound . `` no matter what happens , buddy ... no matter where we live ... you can always count on mommy and daddy , okay ? whether it 's for a good - night kiss or a story or just a hug ... we love you and your sister very , very much . do n't ever doubt that , okay , buddy ? and never , ever ... forget that . phyllis : these are words to live by . do as you promised and keep this ring on your finger . and do n't you ever forget what it means . chelsea : i wo n't . and like you and jack , adam and i have our love to get us through anything ... including victor . he ca n't touch us ... as long as we 're together . jack : well , i do n't know where phyllis and chelsea are . think we ought to send out a search party ? hey . earth to adam . adam : hmm ? jack : you okay ? what 's going on ? adam : uh ... i was just thinking , you know , i told chelsea that everything was gon na be fine and that victor could n't hurt us . jack : that 's right , because of you -- because you took the initiative . adam : jack ... come on , man . it 's a band - aid , right ? i did n't slay the dragon . i wounded him . jack : and you 're thinking a wounded victor is even more dangerous ? adam : i 'm thinking if my father gets out of prison and -- let 's be real -- he probably will ... jack , none of us are safe . victor : your family woes aside , i 'm very glad that you and your dad ... had a chance to start the healing process . meredith : me , too . victor : maybe one day i 'll have the same chance with my family . meredith : how do i know i can trust you ? victor : you do n't . good night . meredith : good night . [ next_on ] billy : never again ... ever . victoria : i need an emissary to help me with a very sensitive newman - abbott matter . nick : this is sage 's journal . sharon : uh , she kept a journal ? | dr. gates tells nikki she will do everything she can to get victor an early release from prison , because he deserves a second chance . the judge tells victor he will make sure that he serves his entire prison term . dr. gates tells victor about her run in with nikki at the athletic club bar . he tells her that nikki has a drinking problem ; and when she is drunk , she tends to say and do things she would n't normally do . adam and chelsea renew their wedding vows and put their wedding rings back on to signify that their love can survive anything . using her alias `` tory , `` victoria sleeps with the bartender at her favorite bar and later regrets what she did , feeling like she betrayed billy . johnny finds a button that came off phyllis ' blouse and gives it to billy . chelsea notices that phyllis has a button missing from her blouse and tells her about it . chelsea also tells phyllis that her marriage to jack is the model that she and adam follow to keep their marriage strong . phyllis tells jack that she feels sympathy for billy and all that he is going through , but now billy will have to handle his problems on his own , because she wants to concentrate on her marriage . | <s>[INST] [ knock on door ] billy : hey , johnny . victoria : hey . hi . i thought we agreed to let daddy open the door . he 's excited for his sleepover . billy : [ clears throat ] victoria : unless now is a bad time . jack : this is very difficult for me to ask this question . please do n't drag it out . do you have feelings for my brother ? phyllis : i do n't understand . you know that billy and i have a connection . i mean , you know that . we have looked at the world in a similar perspective , and we 've gone through some intense things , like pass key and paragon . jack : i 'm not talking about business . are you drawn to my brother -- yes or no ? phyllis : yes . [ scoffs ] okay . yes , i am . chelsea : ca n't we just stay like this forever ? chelsea : ca n't we just stay like this forever ? adam : sure , we can . we 'd get hungry , though , you know ... chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : ... and really , really pale . chelsea : i 'm being serious . ca n't we just bolt the door with our son upstairs and all three of us hide away from victor for the rest of our lives ? why did i go visit him in prison ? that was so stupid of me . adam : 'cause you 're a glutton for other people 's punishment , sweetheart . chelsea : i thought it would make me feel better , and it did . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : for like five minutes . and now i think the only thing i accomplished is making him more angry . when he gets out ... adam : he 's not gon na get out , sweetheart , okay ? i already talked to the judge . he knows that he 's angling for a pardon . there 's no way in hell that 's happening . chelsea : babe , this is victor newman we 're talking about . he 's probably already having some kind of a catapult built so they can just , like , launch him over the wall . i mean , prison does n't mean anything to this guy . look at all the trouble he 's caused already , and that 's only when he 's marginally angry . but now he 's raging , and he 's gon na come after us . i mean , what if -- what if he targets my company ? adam : our company . chelsea : wait . what if he -- he exposes the truth about christian actually being yours and not nick 's ? what if he tells nick that ? adam : stop , stop , stop . stop , babe , stop . do n't do that , okay ? this is exactly what that man wants . chelsea : what , me freaking out ? adam : you living in fear . do n't give him that power , all right ? do n't let him win . victor : with all due respect , i think you 're making a grave mistake . russell : the mistake is yours , thinking you can use my daughter to pave inroads . victor : wait a minute . i 'm doing no such thing . russell : think again , mr. newman . there 's no way i 'm interceding on your behalf . victor : you know , i think this has all been a gross misunderstanding . if i were you , i 'd talk to your daughter , meredith . russell : do n't mention my daughter again . understand ? and go ahead and get comfortable in here , because i 'm gon na see to it that you serve all 10 years , down to the minute , down to the second . victor : do you believe in justice ? russell : you bet . victor : well , if you believe in the concept of justice , you certainly would give me a chance to defend myself , would n't you ? meredith : mrs. newman . nikki : yes ? meredith : hi . i , um -- i wanted to offer you my condolences at your daughter- in - law 's memorial , but you left before i had the chance . nikki : oh . i 'm sorry . you a friend of sage 's ? meredith : no . no , actually . i never met her . nikki : well , then , why were you there ? meredith : i was doing a favor for someone that we both care about . sorry . uh , okay . i should have led with , `` hi . i 'm dr. meredith gates , from walworth . `` nikki : ah , yes -- the new woman in my husband 's life . phyllis : jack , you know that billy and i have a connection . we are kindred spirits . and what he 's going through right now -- i feel for him . jack : what ... do you feel for him ? phyllis : sympathy , mostly . i mean , maybe it 's me rooting for the underdog , i mean , but my heart breaks . i mean , he always manages to draw the short end of the straw . jack : you talk like billy has no control , like life just happens to him . phyllis : i have not agreed with the way you have dealt with him -- not giving him the benefit of the doubt . jack : yeah , i definitely sense that . phyllis : but if i 'm gon na be honest , when a person makes the same mistake , it 's usually because they are their own worst enemy . and you know what ? maybe that 's who billy is . maybe he is only happy when he is unhappy . jack : thank you . phyllis : for what ? jack : for being honest with me , for being there for billy . it drives me crazy sometimes , but i 'm glad you 're there for him . it 's not an easy job . phyllis : you would know . jack : i love my brother . phyllis : no one doubts that . jack : yeah , maybe billy does . phyllis : not even him . jack : maybe we can work together to help see that billy does n't make the same mistakes all over again . phyllis : no . billy 's gon na have to figure that out on his own . i need a new mission . and from now on , i need to focus on one thing and one thing only . jack : what 's that ? phyllis : the love of my life -- you . billy : your timing 's perfect . i was just about to order some pizza , and you know what goes best with pizza ? early season baseball . right ? victoria : you 're positive we 're not interrupting ? billy : nope . victoria : i 'm just saying if you have another prospective buyer upstairs that you wanted to finish things with ... billy : i 'm alone . victoria : ... just let me know . you 're shirtless . billy : i 'm alone . victoria : okay . johnny : i 'm sliding back . billy : [ chuckles ] johnny : [ chuckles ] billy : but now that you 're here , want a glass of wine or something ? victoria : no , thanks . billy : what about a tour ? johnny and i can show you the fort that we built last time the kids stayed . victoria : that 's okay . hannah 's watching katherine , so it gives me an opportunity to go in to the office . billy : now ? you 're working too hard . victoria : i have no choice . i have to keep up with the competition . billy : well , even the fierce competition can call a truce for one night . victoria : here 's his bag . billy : ohh ! there 's one - eared willie . i was hoping he would make an appearance . victoria : there 's a toothbrush and pjs in there and his change of clothes for tomorrow . billy : awesome . okay . want to say good night to mommy ?

meredith : why ? victor : just tell me . meredith : the bar at the athletic club . victor : oh , my goodness . ay , ay , ay , ay . well , that explains it . she has a problem with , uh ... meredith : alcohol . victor : yeah . i can see it all falling apart ... my family , their families ... my company , and no one is able to ... put back the pieces . meredith : but you think you can ?

victor : i 'm not gon na do that . in fact , her name will be commemorated in the center of the new plaza . nikki : really ? victor : yeah . nikki : what are you gon na , write her name with concrete ? oh , you could put a nameplate on the bench . if you want to commemorate her , the best thing to do is leave the park alone . victor : okay , let me tell you something that obviously you did n't know . the park bears katherine 's name , but the land is owned by the city . there were various people who bid on it . i 'm gon na develop it beautifully ... gon na make a jewel out of it , okay ? nikki : oh . modest , as always . victor : do you actually know what 's good for the city ? nikki : actually , yes , i think i do . fresh air , green grass , trees . that is what 's best for the city . victor : are you aware of the fact that the city 's population is exploding and we need new housing ? nikki : katherine was a champion for the homeless and the poor , and i can guarantee you , she would not want her name associated with some overpriced condo . victor : and for your information , there will be condos and apartments built for low - income renters . nikki : ugh . victor : you have no idea what this means , do you ? you know what it means for the city ? we 're gon na employ people , entrepreneurs will come in , open new shops . we 're gon na stimulate the economy . what do n't you and nicholas get about that ? i wish you would realize that what i 'm doing is a good thing . nikki : eventually , there 's gon na be a battle about this that not only will you lose , but you 'll lose big . nick : okay , i think you 're gon na break a rib . devon : merry christmas , faith . faith : same to you , mr . hamilton . devon : have you finished writing your list to santa claus this year ? nick : pretty sure that was done in july . faith : but i did add an addendum before i mailed it . there 's this really awesome engineering kit i saw at fenmore 's . devon : wow . okay . well , i sure hope that you find everything you want under your tree this christmas . faith : well , i should because i 've been extra good this year , right , dad ? nick : uh , i do n't know ... faith : dad ! devon : [ chuckles ] nick : all right , you 've been perfect -- most of the time . faith : [ laughs ] well , my friends are going ice skating in the park . can you take me ? nick : can you see if your mom will take you ? i have to hang out here for a little bit and talk to mr . hamilton about something very important . faith : okay . well , it was nice to see you , mr . hamilton . devon : you , too , sweetie . addendum ? nick : she 's 11 . devon : good luck keeping up with her , man . nick : yeah , you 're telling me . devon : so , what 's going on , nick ? why did you want to meet ? nick : well , i 'm sure you 've heard by now the plans for chancellor park . devon : yeah , i have . nick : well , i 'm heading up a campaign to stop my father 's developers . devon : your father . so it 's victor who wants to bulldoze my grandmother 's memory like that ? i thought those two were friends . hell , i thought he and i were friends . he used to be my mentor all those years ago at the rec center . so much for loyalty . nick : my dad 's only loyal to himself . devon : well , it was one thing when i thought it was a stranger , but now this changes things . nick : well , you can stop all this right now , devon . devon : how do you figure i do that ? i do n't have any claim to it . the park was n't part of my inheritance , so the land belongs to the city . nick : yeah , but you could some of the money she left you to purchase the park and leave it as - is . devon : yeah . nick : it is a perfect solution , man . devon : i wish it were that simple . nick : what 's the problem ? devon : the problem is , my company just purchased a pr firm , and victor is one of our clients , so i think it 'll be a conflict of interest . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . well , is there anything i can do to change your mind ? devon : i wish i had an answer for you , nick . i mean , i want you to still fight for what you think is right , but i ca n't get your hopes up . victor : ashley , what brings you by ? victoria : daddy , i can handle this . victor : play nice . victoria : would you like to step down the hall ? my office is n't ready yet . ashley : here 's fine for what i have to say . although you might want to contact your legal team to come join us . faith : mom . mom ! mom ! sharon : sweetie , i can not take you skating . faith : but peyton 's going , and gabriella , addison , jada -- everyone . sharon : there answer is no . i am too busy right now . faith : i can walk ! it 's not that fair . sharon : um , i 'm not comfortable with that , and besides , i do n't want you at the park unless i can be there , and right now , i can't . i 'm too busy . but we will go another time . promise . faith : this is so unfair . [ sighs ] i do n't have to be watched every second . sharon : okay , maybe i am being a little overprotective , but i 've had some recent reminders that there are some not - so - nice people in the world . faith : well , i do n't want to be stuck here all day . so may i call monique and ask her if she can give me a ride home ? sharon : yes . you may . and someone needs a refill . faith : hi . i 'd like to request a cab , please . 815 hyde park . but do n't pull up right in front . i 'll be around the corner . i 'd like to be dropped off at chancellor park . thank you . victoria : well , you can huff and puff all you want . this is happening . ravi starts here in two weeks . ashley : you 're very confident . victoria : i anticipated your reaction and i covered my bases . i knew that you 'd be unhappy . ashley : well , obviously . you 're trying to poach a very valuable team member . victoria : look , why do n't we just cut to the chase , okay ? why do n't you come up with a number that makes you comfortable to compensate you for your loss at jabot , and i 'll write a check , and we can be done with this by lunchtime ? i 'll even throw in a meal voucher for the top of the tower . i know you like the chef . ashley : i did n't come here for a free lunch , and i did n't come here for your money . this is n't a stunt , victoria . i 'm not gon na let you steal our top it employee . victoria : ravi 's jabot contract states that he can leave for a better deal . is n't that right , michael ? michael : give me a minute . i 'll still reading . ashley : you know , do n't waste your time , michael . ravi has a non - compete clause , which means that he ca n't just pack up his things and walk across the street to newman . i will sue you to keep him just where he is . victoria : i do n't need to read the fine print to know that that clause does n't apply . newman is not a jabot competitor . michael : uh , um , you were n't before you purchased brash & sassy , but now you are . jack : i apologize . that took a little longer than i thought . hilary : how is she ? jack : today 's a pretty good day . hilary : watching your mother succumb to a disease is n't easy . but i do admire everything that you 're taking on . jack : thanks . hilary : but jabot is a huge company . people need a leader , and they ca n't see uncertainty at the top . jack : you 're talking about ashley trying to kill our sponsorship deal with your show ? well , we had it out on that one , big time , and judging from the fact that you 're here , i guess you know how it ended . hilary : although , if i was in your sister 's shoes , i probably would have reacted the same way . jack , you walked away from your company and then you had second thoughts . i mean , she thought she was running the company , and then all of a sudden , the big kahuna comes in and says , `` oh , no , no . not so fast , sweetie . `` jack : wow , tell me what you really think . hilary : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . that was just a little bit of my inner feminist coming out . i am happy that jabot is sponsoring the show . but you need to ask yourself this one question , and it will put all of this into perspective for you . jack : okay , and what is that ? hilary : what do you want ? because i would sacrifice anything for just one more day with my mother . so i understand why you want to be there for yours . jack : i have to do this . i need to help her . no , no -- i want to help her . i love my mother . and in a different way , i love jabot . and balancing the two is not out of the question . i just have n't figured out a way to do it just yet . chelsea : is devon stepping up ? is he buying the park ? nick : i 'm not sure . i know he 's thinking about it . chelsea : okay , well , i 'll keep my fingers crossed for you that everything works out . nick : well , if he does , then this whole problem is gon na be behind us . chelsea : [ sighs ] so , you went to see devon while nikki went to see victor . nick : picked up on that , huh ? chelsea : mm - hmm . nick : yeah . i thought that 'd be for the best . if i had gone with mom , then the focus goes on my relationship with my dad and not the park , and i do n't want anything to overshadow this issue . chelsea : i think that 's a very mature attitude . nick : ca n't say i was n't tempted because i was . but for today , at least , i am not gon na make this a father - son problem . abby : [ sighs ] okay . so talk to me . scott : i , uh -- i do n't want to fak you out . abby : well , then , you should n't have just said that because now i am guaranteed to freak out . unless what you 're gon na tell me is n't as bad as what i think you 're gon na tell me , but what i think you 're gon na tell me is , like , really , really , really bad , so ... okay , this is where you say i 'm wrong about where this is going . scott : yeah , i ca n't do that . abby : the leak at newman . the person that victoria is hell - bent on crucifying ... scott : technically , it 's -- it 's you . abby : [ sighs ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . they 're getting ready for a hot deal .. ashley : my office , please . was that victoria on the phone ? ravi : yeah . ashley : so , i 'm assuming that she told you there 's no longer a job waiting for you at newman . ravi : she did . but how ? ashley : i went over there and i , uh , handled the issue . ravi : you fought for me . ashley : kind of wondering why i bothered , though , since your loyalty is so insignificant . ravi : i am loyal to this company , and more importantly , to you . when i accepted victoria 's offer , i was trying to do right by us . ashley : wait . you quit because of me ? ravi : i know the only thing holding us back from sharing something deeper is the fact that i work for you . you 're a busy woman , you got a lot on your plate , i get that . i just thought if i backed off here , it might make it easier for you . ashley : well ... i 'd rather have you here than anywhere . and since i 'm the boss , i get to decide whether or not there 's a conflict , and i think that you should stay . ravi : i do n't really have a choice . ashley : true . you don't . um , we can talk about this later , but right now , i have a meeting . ravi : was it hard to get victoria to back off ? ashley : not when i threatened to sue . jabot rarely enforces its non - compete clauses , but i was willing to go to the mat for you . sharon : i 'm handing out one of these to every customer who comes in here . you know , it 's a shame that victor needs to destroy genoa city landmarks in the name of `` progress . `` devon : yeah . it is unfortunate , but , you know , we ca n't be too sure of his motives yet . sharon : oh , are you on his side now ? devon : well , no , no . i 'm just saying there 's always two sides to everything . sharon : well , in my opinion , when it comes to victor , there 's a right side and a wrong side , and he is wrong about this . devon : yeah . well , thank you for the coffee , sharon . sharon : you 're welcome . do n't forget your flier ! i know that katherine meant a lot to you . devon : yeah . of course she did . and , believe me , i know that this park represents her not just to me , but to a lot of people in this community . i realize that , and she 'd always love when people would gather there to celebrate any kind of life event , and it 's kind of a big slap in the face to her memory to just want to put some buildings up in its place . sharon : well , have you thought about ... ? devon : using my own money to buy it ? sharon : the money that she left you . devon : it 's funny , nick just asked me that same question . sharon : and ? devon : and i have a lot to consider . abby : you realize you put me a terrible position at work . scott : whoa , slow down . this is why i did n't want to do it at the office . making a scene is n't gon na be helpful . you need to tone it down . abby : are you trying to manage me ? scott : i 'm only trying to explain calmly and quietly . abby : well , i 'm waiting . scott : this all started when sharon was trying to help nick save that park . abby : so you came to me asking me about the company behind the development . scott : i had my suspicions that there was a newman connection . abby : and then when you got your answer , you ran to sharon . you used me , and now i 'm on the hook , and the second that victoria finds out , she 's gon na fire me . scott : look at me . i wo n't let that happen . i promise . devon : [ sighs ] hilary : time for another cup ? devon : sure . another one wo n't kill me . hilary : you seem a little ... off . devon : i just have a few things on my mind , that 's all . hilary : share . devon : nah , it 's not worth getting into . how you doing ? hilary : [ chuckles ] no , no , no , no , no . nice try . we are friends , and friends let each other vent . you helped me when i had a bad day . now it 's your turn . you 're on the air , caller . devon : it 's mostly about something that i know in my gut is the right thing to do , but i 'm not sure if neil 's gon na be onboard with it . hilary : have you even discussed it with him ? devon : you know how moses and sofia , they moved to new york ? hilary : yeah . yeah , they -- they worked it out so that she could take a job there . devon : well , sofia just got into a pretty bad car accident . hilary : oh , my god . devon : she 's fine , but the recovery 's gon na take a minute , and neil went there to help out with moses . hilary : i 'm so sorry that you guys are going through all this . devon : it 's okay . just to reiterate , this is not for `` the hilary hour . `` hilary : you have my word . besides , if i wanted to run the story , i would have to run it by new boss . devon : new boss ? you found a sponsor . hilary : well , since you said that you would n't back the money truck up to the studio , i had to look elsewhere . after a few misses , someone came to my rescue . devon : hmm . ashley : thanks for the flowers . they 're pretty . jack : ash , i hate fighting with you , i -- ashley : yeah , i do n't like it that much myself , jack . and maybe i owe you a flower or two for some of the things i said . jack : you 're home a little earlier than expected . ashley : yeah , i wanted to check on mother . jack : oh , mother 's doing okay right now . by the way , she really enjoyed her time with you yesterday , the part of it she remembers , anyway . and i appreciate you looking after her , i do . i know i kind of tossed her in your lap , and that was n't good form , and -- ashley : jack . she 's my mother , too . and i enjoyed the time i spent with her . it also made me see things a little differently where that argument was concerned , so ... jack : traci , in her infinite wisdom , suggested that maybe it was n't all - or- nothing , that maybe we could actually compromise . to that end , i 'd like you to see something . ashley : it 's a work order . what designs ? i do n't get it . oh , wait , this is the jabot lab . jack : i 've had this in the works for some time now . the way i see it , by new year 's , that lab will be back to its former glory . ashley : jack , this is an amazing design . jack : and long overdue . that lab has needed a reworking for some time now . ashley : how did you sneak this past me ? jack : oh , i have my ways . i know you love working down there , building new products that keep jabot on top . now with brash & sassy gone , i thought you should have a state - of - the - art lab once again . look , i 've always felt that your greatest value to the company is the work you do there . ashley : and that 's where you think i should go . full - time . nick : shocker . dad did n't budge . nikki : i 'm sorry i was n't able to change his mind . how did your efforts go ? nick : i put fliers on every surface i could find , but it would n't surprise me at all if dad hired someone to follow me around and take them down . chelsea : seems like you 've hit a dead end . maybe it 's time to back off . nick : absolutely not . nikki : no , no . it 's just time to find another way to stop victor . scott : look , nick does n't know i 'm the one that gave sharon the information about newman , and sharon does n't know that i got my information from you . abby : i need a scorecard to keep up with all of this . scott : you 're twice removed from ever being connected to this leak , and even if victoria ever gets even remotely close , it wo n't matter . abby : you did hear the part about victoria firing me ... scott : look , if it comes out , i 'll step up , admit it 's my fault , and i 'll keep your name out of it . abby : you 'd do that for me ? scott : i regret it even came this far . abby : you know , for a minute , i was worried that you were , um ... scott : what , setting you up ? abby : [ sighs ] scott : look , i -- i hope you know better now . hilary : it does not get more complex than this . you are caught between looking out for your company or stepping in to help save chancellor park . when you boil it down , it 's doing right by the newmans or doing right by katherine . [ groans ] i would not want to be you . devon : well , thanks . that 's all you got for me ? hilary : uh - huh . devon : since when do you hold back in putting in your two cents ? hilary : well , since we both know that you already made up your mind but you just have n't said it out loud yet . we both know what your next move is . devon : act like you know me . all right . well , if i 'm gon na beat victor , how high should i bid ? victoria : ashley forced my hand . i had to rescind the offer that i made to ravi . victor : well , i commend you for trying to up the tech game . but i think , in the end , it is just as good that you did n't push hard . you would have had a conflict , it would have made it to the press , and we 've had enough bad publicity for a while . i want this park project to go through . victoria : you 're right . the last thing that we need is a civil war with jabot distracting us . [ intercom buzzes ] victor : yes ? send him in . michael : oh , hey . victoria : hi . dad told me the good news about the audit . michael : uh , well , unfortunately , i may have jumped the gun . victor : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , well , um , the authorities may have cleared the corporate accounts , but , uh , apparently , the audit is still open . victoria : why ? michael : the auditors found anomalies in one of victor 's personal bank accounts . victor : what do you mean ? what anomalies ? michael : you know what , word is this just came across my desk minutes ago . i 've got nothing but generalities for you . victor : they 're grasping at anything to charge me ! it 's pathetic ! jack : i do n't know what i expected , but i certainly did n't expect you to be disappointed . ashley : give me a break . i had complete control of the company for one minute , and then the next ... jack : and the next you get to do what you love doing , in your lab ! ashley : if you say so . jack : ash , if you and i both do what we do best -- ashley : please ! do n't sugarcoat this , please ! you want to have control of the company again . apparently , there 's nothing i can do about that . but just please drop the `` i 'm doing this for you , ashley `` act . so , now what ? you 're getting 24-hour care for mother , a nurse ? jack : no , i 'll be running the company from home . ashley : you ca n't be serious . jack : yes , i am . ashley : jack , you 're gon na short - change both jabot and mother . jack : i have faced far more difficult situations . it 's about confidence , ashley ! luckily , i have enough for both of us . scott : you know , we should probably get back to the office . abby : right . yeah . scott : cold ? abby : well , it is december in wisconsin . scott : well , no wonder . you 're not wearing any gloves . abby : i did n't have time to grab them before we left . scott : here . take mine . abby : i 'm fine , really . i can just put my hands in my pockets . scott : come on . they 're freezing . they 're freezing . here . that better ? [ next_on ] michael : the authorities are sending an official over to meet with you personally about the audit anomalies . kevin : it wo n't be long before the truth comes out and victor discovers what you did . scott : oh , great . you 're home . whew ! | nick and nikki are even more determined to save chancellor park and stop victor 's development project . nick talks to devon and tries to persuade him to buy the park but he says that he would have a conflict of interest because victor is a pr client . devon thinks things over and after talking to sharon and hilary he decides to buy the park to stop victor 's project . devon tells hilary and says he is worried how neil will react since he has n't spoken to him yet because he is busy taking care of sofia and moses in new york since sofia was injured in a car accident . ashley fights victoria to keep ravi working for jabot since ravi has a non compete clause and now newman and jabot are competitors since newman owns brash and sassy . jack shows ashley plans to update the jabot lab so ashley can get back to doing research and development . jack tells ashley he plans to run jabot from home . faith is upset that her parents wo n't take her to the park to skate with her friends so she disobeys them and calls a cab to take her . scott tells abby that she is the one that gave him the information about victor 's development deal which he later told to sharon . scott promises that he will protect her and take the blame if victoria discovers the information and he will leave her name out of it . scott warms abby 's hands because she forgot her gloves and that leads to a kiss which faith sees because she is skating at the park . | <s>[INST] abby : hey . victoria : morning , abby . abby : uh , dad back from his trip yet ? victoria : yeah , he should be here any minute . abby : i 'll come back . victoria : i need coffee . nikki : hi , sweetheart . nick : hey . nikki : i got your message . what 's going on ? hey . nick : well , i have news about the park development . it is not good . nikki : [ sighs ] all right , go ahead . just pull the band - aid off . nick : newman enterprises is behind the shell company . nikki : damn . victor strikes again . chelsea : you do n't seem surprised . nikki : well , no , are you ? nothing that man does shocks me anymore . but i thought he would at least have enough respect for katherine to not pave over the park that has her name on it ! nick : dad is not gon na like it when he finds out we 're the ones trying to stop him . nikki : [ sighs ] it 's just gon na make him dig his heels in deeper . nick : he is not gon na want to lose to the two outcasts of the family . nikki : you 're right . that might just give me more motivation to fight . hilary : story ideas . i will leave them with you to look over . jack : well , no time like the present . you got a pen ? hilary : [ scoffs ] you 're giving me notes ? jack : i am the one that signs the checks . hilary : [ sighs ] yeah . i forgot about all of your vast knowledge of television production . i 'm sure that i will benefit greatly from all your expertise . jack : i 'm micro - managing , are n't i ? hilary : just a little . jack : funny , ashley had the same complaint . only that discussion was not quite so polite . sharon : here you go , a dozen of our most decadent delights . scott : perfect . thank you . sharon : what 's the occasion ? scott : it 's a peace offering for victor . sharon : a word of advice -- he prefers tequila . scott : ah , well , you do n't happen to have a dozen or so bottles stashed in the back , do you ? sharon : no , i 'm fresh out . scott : then these will have to do , and , uh , after putting hashtag back online without his say - so , i wanted to demonstrate what a team player i can be . sharon : mm . and not the kind of employee who would pass along confidential information that the newman company was behind the chancellor park development . scott : yeah , well , you never heard that from me , remember ? sharon : i 'd hate to think of what you 're gon na have to buy victor if he ever did find out . scott : so let 's just pretend we never even spoke of it . sharon : i 'm grateful that that did happen , though , and i 'd be happy to send a box of pastries to your source , but you have n't revealed who it is . scott : yeah , my , uh ... my lips are sealed . sharon : mm , well , they 're perfect for kissing , then . scott : thanks . victor : i see things have happened while i was gone . victoria : uh ... `` save chancellor park ! stop the newman development . `` yeah . nick 's leading this crusade . victor : is that so ? victoria : he found out about alco , and he confronted me . victor : who informed him ? victoria : i 'm still trying to figure that out myself . victor : i expected some pushback . victoria : yeah , but not this fast , and now everything 's just gon na snowball . victor : you 're not worried about a little bad publicity , are you ? victoria : personally ? no . i mean , when you pass out on live tv , there 's nowhere to go but up . i tried to talk nick down and explain all the reasons why this development makes sense , including that katherine would have cheered it on herself . victor : [ exhales sharply ] you know , i understand why people are upset . in fact , i sympathize . what they 're all forgetting is that the park may be named after katherine , and i 'm glad it is , but the land is owned by the city . victoria : well , nick and others do n't see it that way , apparently . they see us as the greedy corporation that 's trying to desecrate a landmark that 's been dedicated to one of their town 's former residents . victor : okay , well , i 'm not about to destroy katherine 's legacy . victoria : a fact which i tried to get through to my hard - headed brother . i mean , the plans clearly state a dedicated green space to katherine . they show that . but he is intent on leading this crusade , so i think we have a fight on our hands , dad . victor : you tell your brother to bring it on , and no one is gon na stop me from developing this project . additional sponsorship jack : i think some of these are great ideas , and micro - managing or not , i am gon na want some input . hilary : if you insist , although , i was not planning to be here this long . your mother 's not gon na sic security on me again , is she ? i 'm sorry , that was uncalled for . jack : i 'm fine . hilary : i apologize if i 'm speaking out of turn , but ... i 'm worried that maybe you 're taking on a little too much at one time . jack : whoa . [ cellphone chimes ] you 're questioning my capabilities ? oh . you know what , hilary , i can handle your show , jabot , and my mother all before lunch . i just put out a fire at jabot and kept this conversation going at the same time . see , i can multitask with the best of them . hilary : are you telling me that there has n't been a time where you let something slide ? jack : okay , you got me there . look , i realize this is going to require a certain level of balance , and maybe i have n't found that balance just yet . hilary : i 'm guessing that this has probably occurred to you , that maybe , just maybe , that balance does n't exist ? victoria : abby . this involves you , too . would you please join us ? everyone gather around . what i have to say is very important , and i want it passed down to all of your divisions . now , it 's come to my attention that someone has leaked information regarding a newman enterprises project to someone outside of the company . subterfuge is despicable at any time , but it 's especially galling when this company is under investigation . now , this leak could jeopardize a deal that 's been in the works for a long time . a deal that is confidential and compromised means that jobs here at this company are at risk . abby : i agree . this is a serious violation . we need to find the responsible party and deal with them accordingly . can you give us any other details ? victoria : i 'd like to keep the specifics under wraps until we know that the leak is completely plugged . however , i do want you all to keep your eyes and ears open and report anything suspicious to me immediately . that 's all , thank you . [ door closes ] scott : we should talk . abby : and why do we need to do that ? scott : not here . anywhere away from the office , but it has to be now . come on . ashley : well , hello there . ravi : hey . ashley : christmas is two weeks away . we 're in the home stretch . ravi : right , there 's -- ashley : does n't mean we can relax , though . quit the contrary . in fact , i want you to check and then re - check our order management system . ravi : ashley -- ashley : i 'm thinking for those last - minute shoppers , we should offer free express shipping on all orders over $ 100 . what do you think ? you 're so sweet . thank you . ravi : i did n't -- those were n't me . ashley : oh , really ? well , then who ? [ sighs ] jack . an apology . ravi : you guys had a disagreement ? ashley : we had a clash of the titans . ravi : about what ? ashley : you know what , we 've got too much going on to distract ourselves with that . ravi : no , i ca n't handle any projects right now . ashley : i know . holidays are overwhelming , even for genius types like you . i can have somebody come in here and help you with your workload . ravi : you 'll need to have someone come in and replace me . i 'm giving my notice . ashley : very , very funny . ravi : it 's not a joke . ashley : you 're quitting ? ravi : i am . ashley : have you looked at your contract ? i 'm pretty sure it 's iron - clad . ravi : there 's an opt - out clause . this is me opting out . ashley : you 're leaving me ? ravi : it 's not personal . really , it 's not . it 's business . i 've been thinking for a while this would be the best thing for everyone . i got a job offer that is too good to refuse . it would be unfair to ask you to match it . it 's a bigger title , more money , more benefits . it 's the complete package . ashley : well , you have n't said who this offer 's from . ravi : victoria newman . i 'll be working for newman enterprises . victor : send him in . [ knocks on door ] michael : victor . victor : yep . michael : i 've brought you a welcome - back gift -- the audit of newman enterprises . the authorities came back with ... nothing . the company 's clean . victor : as expected . michael : yes , well , once they finish going over your personal accounts , assuming no red flag pops up , you and the company should be cleared of any alleged criminal involvement with designdate . [ intercom buzzes ] victor : yes ? all right , send her in . [ exhales sharply ] michael : hello , nikki . nikki : hello , michael . normally , i would want to chat with you , but victor and i need a private moment . i 'm sure he understands what the topic of the conversation will be . michael : mm , well , i 'll be in touch . nikki . nikki : good to see you . victor : so , you 're here to discuss the park ? nikki : chancellor park . it was renamed in katherine 's honor , in case you have forgotten . victor : i 'm surprised nicholas sent you . nikki : well , it 's just as much my fight as it is his . frankly , i 'm stunned that you 're involved in this situation at all , considering the optics . i mean , you would be hard - pressed to find somebody in this town who did n't adore katherine . victor : and you damn well know that i adored katherine . i was very fond of her . nikki : well , then , why are you trying to erase her memory ? victor : i 'm not gon na do that . in fact , her name will be commemorated in the center of the new plaza . nikki : really ? victor : yeah . nikki : what are you gon na , write her name with concrete ? oh , you could put a nameplate on the bench . if you want to commemorate her , the best thing to do is leave the park alone . victor : okay , let me tell you something that obviously you did n't know . the park bears katherine 's name , but the land is owned by the city . there were various people who bid on it . i 'm gon na develop it beautifully ... gon na make a jewel out of it , okay ? nikki : oh . modest , as always . victor : do you actually know what 's good for the city ? nikki : actually , yes , i think i do . fresh air , green grass , trees . that is what 's best for the city . victor : are you aware of the fact that the city 's population is exploding and we need new housing ? nikki : katherine was a champion for the homeless and the poor , and i can guarantee you , she would not want her name associated with some overpriced condo . victor : and for your information , there will be condos and apartments built for low - income renters . nikki : ugh . victor : you have no idea what this means , do you ? you know what it means for the city ? we 're gon na employ people , entrepreneurs will come in , open new shops . we 're gon na stimulate the economy . what do n't you and nicholas get about that ? i wish you would realize that what i 'm doing is a good thing . nikki : eventually , there 's gon na be a battle about this that not only will you lose , but you 'll lose big . nick : okay , i think you 're gon na break a rib . devon : merry christmas , faith . faith : same to you , mr . hamilton . devon : have you finished writing your list to santa claus this year ? nick : pretty sure that was done in july . faith : but i did add an addendum before i mailed it . there 's this really awesome engineering kit i saw at fenmore 's . devon : wow . okay . well , i sure hope that you find everything you want under your tree this christmas . faith : well , i should because i 've been extra good this year , right , dad ? nick : uh , i do n't know ... faith : dad ! devon : [ chuckles ] nick : all right , you 've been perfect -- most of the time . faith : [ laughs ] well , my friends are going ice skating in the park . can you take me ? nick : can you see if your mom will take you ? i have to hang out here for a little bit and talk to mr . hamilton about something very important . faith : okay . well , it was nice to see you , mr . hamilton . devon : you , too , sweetie . addendum ? nick : she 's 11 . devon : good luck keeping up with her , man . nick : yeah , you 're telling me . devon : so , what 's going on , nick ? why did you want to meet ? nick : well , i 'm sure you 've heard by now the plans for chancellor park . devon : yeah , i have . nick : well , i 'm heading up a campaign to stop my father 's developers . devon : your father . so it 's victor who wants to bulldoze my grandmother 's memory like that ? i thought those two were friends . hell , i thought he and i were friends . he used to be my mentor all those years ago at the rec center . so much for loyalty . nick : my dad 's only loyal to himself . devon : well , it was one thing when i thought it was a stranger , but now this changes things . nick : well , you can stop all this right now , devon . devon : how do you figure i do that ? i do n't have any claim to it . the park was n't part of my inheritance , so the land belongs to the city . nick : yeah , but you could some of the money she left you to purchase the park and leave it as - is . devon : yeah . nick : it is a perfect solution , man . devon : i wish it were that simple . nick : what 's the problem ? devon : the problem is , my company just purchased a pr firm , and victor is one of our clients , so i think it 'll be a conflict of interest . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . well , is there anything i can do to change your mind ? devon : i wish i had an answer for you , nick . i mean , i want you to still fight for what you think is right , but i ca n't get your hopes up . victor : ashley , what brings you by ? victoria : daddy , i can handle this . victor : play nice . victoria : would you like to step down the hall ? my office is n't ready yet . ashley : here 's fine for what i have to say . although you might want to contact your legal team to come join us . faith : mom . mom ! mom ! sharon : sweetie , i can not take you skating . faith : but peyton 's going , and gabriella , addison , jada -- everyone . sharon : there answer is no . i am too busy right now . faith : i can walk ! it 's not that fair . sharon : um , i 'm not comfortable with that , and besides , i do n't want you at the park unless i can be there , and right now , i can't . i 'm too busy . but we will go another time . promise . faith : this is so unfair . [ sighs ] i do n't have to be watched every second . sharon : okay , maybe i am being a little overprotective , but i 've had some recent reminders that there are some not - so - nice people in the world . faith : well , i do n't want to be stuck here all day . so may i call monique and ask her if she can give me a ride home ? sharon : yes . you may . and someone needs a refill . faith : hi . i 'd like to request a cab , please . 815 hyde park . but do n't pull up right in front . i 'll be around the corner . i 'd like to be dropped off at chancellor park . thank you . victoria : well , you can huff and puff all you want . this is happening . ravi starts here in two weeks . ashley : you 're very confident . victoria : i anticipated your reaction and i covered my bases . i knew that you 'd be unhappy . ashley : well , obviously . you 're trying to poach a very valuable team member . victoria : look , why do n't we just cut to the chase , okay ? why do n't you come up with a number that makes you comfortable to compensate you for your loss at jabot , and i 'll write a check , and we can be done with this by lunchtime ? i 'll even throw in a meal voucher for the top of the tower . i know you like the chef . ashley : i did n't come here for a free lunch , and i did n't come here for your money . this is n't a stunt , victoria . i 'm not gon na let you steal our top it employee . victoria : ravi 's jabot contract states that he can leave for a better deal . is n't that right , michael ? michael : give me a minute . i 'll still reading . ashley : you know , do n't waste your time , michael . ravi has a non - compete clause , which means that he ca n't just pack up his things and walk across the street to newman . i will sue you to keep him just where he is . victoria : i do n't need to read the fine print to know that that clause does n't apply . newman is not a jabot competitor . michael : uh , um , you were n't before you purchased brash & sassy , but now you are . jack : i apologize . that took a little longer than i thought . hilary : how is she ? jack : today 's a pretty good day . hilary : watching your mother succumb to a disease is n't easy . but i do admire everything that you 're taking on . jack : thanks . hilary : but jabot is a huge company . people need a leader , and they ca n't see uncertainty at the top . jack : you 're talking about ashley trying to kill our sponsorship deal with your show ? well , we had it out on that one , big time , and judging from the fact that you 're here , i guess you know how it ended . hilary : although , if i was in your sister 's shoes , i probably would have reacted the same way . jack , you walked away from your company and then you had second thoughts . i mean , she thought she was running the company , and then all of a sudden , the big kahuna comes in and says , `` oh , no , no . not so fast , sweetie . `` jack : wow , tell me what you really think . hilary : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . that was just a little bit of my inner feminist coming out . i am happy that jabot is sponsoring the show . but you need to ask yourself this one question , and it will put all of this into perspective for you . jack : okay , and what is that ? hilary : what do you want ? because i would sacrifice anything for just one more day with my mother . so i understand why you want to be there for yours . jack : i have to do this . i need to help her . no , no -- i want to help her . i love my mother . and in a different way , i love jabot . and balancing the two is not out of the question . i just have n't figured out a way to do it just yet . chelsea : is devon stepping up ? is he buying the park ? nick : i 'm not sure . i know he 's thinking about it . chelsea : okay , well , i 'll keep my fingers crossed for you that everything works out . nick : well , if he does , then this whole problem is gon na be behind us . chelsea : [ sighs ] so , you went to see devon while nikki went to see victor . nick : picked up on that , huh ? chelsea : mm - hmm . nick : yeah . i thought that 'd be for the best . if i had gone with mom , then the focus goes on my relationship with my dad and not the park , and i do n't want anything to overshadow this issue . chelsea : i think that 's a very mature attitude . nick : ca n't say i was n't tempted because i was . but for today , at least , i am not gon na make this a father - son problem . abby : [ sighs ] okay . so talk to me . scott : i , uh -- i do n't want to fak you out . abby : well , then , you should n't have just said that because now i am guaranteed to freak out . unless what you 're gon na tell me is n't as bad as what i think you 're gon na tell me , but what i think you 're gon na tell me is , like , really , really , really bad , so ... okay , this is where you say i 'm wrong about where this is going . scott : yeah , i ca n't do that . abby : the leak at newman . the person that victoria is hell - bent on crucifying ... scott : technically , it 's -- it 's you . abby : [ sighs ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . they 're getting ready for a hot deal .. ashley : my office , please . was that victoria on the phone ? ravi : yeah . ashley : so , i 'm assuming that she told you there 's no longer a job waiting for you at newman . ravi : she did . but how ? ashley : i went over there and i , uh , handled the issue . ravi : you fought for me . ashley : kind of wondering why i bothered , though , since your loyalty is so insignificant . ravi : i am loyal to this company , and more importantly , to you . when i accepted victoria 's offer , i was trying to do right by us . ashley : wait . you quit because of me ? ravi : i know the only thing holding us back from sharing something deeper is the fact that i work for you . you 're a busy woman , you got a lot on your plate , i get that . i just thought if i backed off here , it might make it easier for you . ashley : well ... i 'd rather have you here than anywhere . and since i 'm the boss , i get to decide whether or not there 's a conflict , and i think that you should stay . ravi : i do n't really have a choice . ashley : true . you don't . um , we can talk about this later , but right now , i have a meeting . ravi : was it hard to get victoria to back off ? ashley : not when i threatened to sue . jabot rarely enforces its non - compete clauses , but i was willing to go to the mat for you . sharon : i 'm handing out one of these to every customer who comes in here . you know , it 's a shame that victor needs to destroy genoa city landmarks in the name of `` progress . `` devon : yeah . it is unfortunate , but , you know , we ca n't be too sure of his motives yet . sharon : oh , are you on his side now ? devon : well , no , no . i 'm just saying there 's always two sides to everything . sharon : well , in my opinion , when it comes to victor , there 's a right side and a wrong side , and he is wrong about this . devon : yeah . well , thank you for the coffee , sharon . sharon : you 're welcome . do n't forget your flier ! i know that katherine meant a lot to you . devon : yeah . of course she did . and , believe me , i know that this park represents her not just to me , but to a lot of people in this community . i realize that , and she 'd always love when people would gather there to celebrate any kind of life event , and it 's kind of a big slap in the face to her memory to just want to put some buildings up in its place . sharon : well , have you thought about ... ? devon : using my own money to buy it ? sharon : the money that she left you . devon : it 's funny , nick just asked me that same question . sharon : and ? devon : and i have a lot to consider . abby : you realize you put me a terrible position at work . scott : whoa , slow down . this is why i did n't want to do it at the office . making a scene is n't gon na be helpful . you need to tone it down . abby : are you trying to manage me ? scott : i 'm only trying to explain calmly and quietly . abby : well , i 'm waiting . scott : this all started when sharon was trying to help nick save that park . abby : so you came to me asking me about the company behind the development . scott : i had my suspicions that there was a newman connection . abby : and then when you got your answer , you ran to sharon . you used me , and now i 'm on the hook , and the second that victoria finds out , she 's gon na fire me . scott : look at me . i wo n't let that happen . i promise . devon : [ sighs ] hilary : time for another cup ? devon : sure . another one wo n't kill me . hilary : you seem a little ... off . devon : i just have a few things on my mind , that 's all . hilary : share . devon : nah , it 's not worth getting into . how you doing ? hilary : [ chuckles ] no , no , no , no , no . nice try . we are friends , and friends let each other vent . you helped me when i had a bad day . now it 's your turn . you 're on the air , caller . devon : it 's mostly about something that i know in my gut is the right thing to do , but i 'm not sure if neil 's gon na be onboard with it . hilary : have you even discussed it with him ? devon : you know how moses and sofia , they moved to new york ? hilary : yeah . yeah , they -- they worked it out so that she could take a job there . devon : well , sofia just got into a pretty bad car accident . hilary : oh , my god . devon : she 's fine , but the recovery 's gon na take a minute , and neil went there to help out with moses . hilary : i 'm so sorry that you guys are going through all this . devon : it 's okay . just to reiterate , this is not for `` the hilary hour . `` hilary : you have my word . besides , if i wanted to run the story , i would have to run it by new boss . devon : new boss ? you found a sponsor . hilary : well , since you said that you would n't back the money truck up to the studio , i had to look elsewhere . after a few misses , someone came to my rescue . devon : hmm . ashley : thanks for the flowers . they 're pretty . jack : ash , i hate fighting with you , i -- ashley : yeah , i do n't like it that much myself , jack . and maybe i owe you a flower or two for some of the things i said . jack : you 're home a little earlier than expected . ashley : yeah , i wanted to check on mother . jack : oh , mother 's doing okay right now . by the way , she really enjoyed her time with you yesterday , the part of it she remembers , anyway . and i appreciate you looking after her , i do . i know i kind of tossed her in your lap , and that was n't good form , and -- ashley : jack . she 's my mother , too . and i enjoyed the time i spent with her . it also made me see things a little differently where that argument was concerned , so ... jack : traci , in her infinite wisdom , suggested that maybe it was n't all - or- nothing , that maybe we could actually compromise . to that end , i 'd like you to see something . ashley : it 's a work order . what designs ? i do n't get it . oh , wait , this is the jabot lab . jack : i 've had this in the works for some time now . the way i see it , by new year 's , that lab will be back to its former glory . ashley : jack , this is an amazing design . jack : and long overdue . that lab has needed a reworking for some time now . ashley : how did you sneak this past me ? jack : oh , i have my ways . i know you love working down there , building new products that keep jabot on top . now with brash & sassy gone , i thought you should have a state - of - the - art lab once again . look , i 've always felt that your greatest value to the company is the work you do there . ashley : and that 's where you think i should go . full - time . nick : shocker . dad did n't budge . nikki : i 'm sorry i was n't able to change his mind . how did your efforts go ? nick : i put fliers on every surface i could find , but it would n't surprise me at all if dad hired someone to follow me around and take them down . chelsea : seems like you 've hit a dead end . maybe it 's time to back off . nick : absolutely not . nikki : no , no . it 's just time to find another way to stop victor . scott : look , nick does n't know i 'm the one that gave sharon the information about newman , and sharon does n't know that i got my information from you . abby : i need a scorecard to keep up with all of this . scott : you 're twice removed from ever being connected to this leak , and even if victoria ever gets even remotely close , it wo n't matter . abby : you did hear the part about victoria firing me ... scott : look , if it comes out , i 'll step up , admit it 's my fault , and i 'll keep your name out of it . abby : you 'd do that for me ? scott : i regret it even came this far . abby : you know , for a minute , i was worried that you were , um ... scott : what , setting you up ? abby : [ sighs ] scott : look , i -- i hope you know better now . hilary : it does not get more complex than this . you are caught between looking out for your company or stepping in to help save chancellor park . when you boil it down , it 's doing right by the newmans or doing right by katherine . [ groans ] i would not want to be you . devon : well , thanks . that 's all you got for me ? hilary : uh - huh . devon : since when do you hold back in putting in your two cents ? hilary : well , since we both know that you already made up your mind but you just have n't said it out loud yet . we both know what your next move is . devon : act like you know me . all right . well , if i 'm gon na beat victor , how high should i bid ? victoria : ashley forced my hand . i had to rescind the offer that i made to ravi . victor : well , i commend you for trying to up the tech game . but i think , in the end , it is just as good that you did n't push hard . you would have had a conflict , it would have made it to the press , and we 've had enough bad publicity for a while . i want this park project to go through . victoria : you 're right . the last thing that we need is a civil war with jabot distracting us . [ intercom buzzes ] victor : yes ? send him in . michael : oh , hey . victoria : hi . dad told me the good news about the audit . michael : uh , well , unfortunately , i may have jumped the gun . victor : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , well , um , the authorities may have cleared the corporate accounts , but , uh , apparently , the audit is still open . victoria : why ? michael : the auditors found anomalies in one of victor 's personal bank accounts . victor : what do you mean ? what anomalies ? michael : you know what , word is this just came across my desk minutes ago . i 've got nothing but generalities for you . victor : they 're grasping at anything to charge me ! it 's pathetic ! jack : i do n't know what i expected , but i certainly did n't expect you to be disappointed . ashley : give me a break . i had complete control of the company for one minute , and then the next ... jack : and the next you get to do what you love doing , in your lab ! ashley : if you say so . jack : ash , if you and i both do what we do best -- ashley : please ! do n't sugarcoat this , please ! you want to have control of the company again . apparently , there 's nothing i can do about that . but just please drop the `` i 'm doing this for you , ashley `` act . so , now what ? you 're getting 24-hour care for mother , a nurse ? jack : no , i 'll be running the company from home . ashley : you ca n't be serious . jack : yes , i am . ashley : jack , you 're gon na short - change both jabot and mother . jack : i have faced far more difficult situations . it 's about confidence , ashley ! luckily , i have enough for both of us . scott : you know , we should probably get back to the office . abby : right . yeah . scott : cold ? abby : well , it is december in wisconsin . scott : well , no wonder . you 're not wearing any gloves . abby : i did n't have time to grab them before we left . scott : here . take mine . abby : i 'm fine , really . i can just put my hands in my pockets . scott : come on . they 're freezing . they 're freezing . here . that better ?

stephanie : yes . i 'm very concerned about these feelings that you exhibit for him . bridget : stephanie , the man was shot by my father . ridge : bridget , none of us feel good about that . bridget : yeah , you say that . the fact is , none of you have any idea how hard deacon 's worked to get where he is . he 's faced more challenges than you can imagine . between his abusive father , to his alcoholism , to losing his wife . every single time he gets on his feet , something knocks him down . but he always gets up . he 's never let anything keep him down . until last night . eric : bridget , all i was trying to do was get him out of your life . out of all of our lives . bridget : daddy , god , do you hear yourself ? you 're making excuses ? because of you , deacon may be facing the one hurdle he ca n't overcome . and you 're not even sorry . eric : that 's not fair . bridget : how fair were you to deacon ? deacon : let me guess . this is the part where you tell me about how much i got to live for . oscar : hmm , yeah . you know what ? that 's exactly what part this is . what about the whole business you got starting up , huh ? deacon : i think amber and sally will be just fine without me . oscar : i thought you were the brains behind the operation . deacon : oh , yeah , yeah . look at me . i must be a fricking genius , huh ? a business like that , it needs legs . and , in case you have n't noticed , mine do n't seem to be working ' that good right now . oscar : okay . okay , so what ? you saying you 're just going to bail on your friends ? deacon : look , i 'm not their mother all right . they 'll be better off without me . oscar : what about little eric ? is he going to have to fend for himself , too ? deacon : he 's got a lot of people who care about him . probably take care of him better than i could . oscar : yeah , maybe . but i have a feeling little d would n't agree . deacon : he 's just a kid . oscar : yeah , that 's right . and he 's your kid , and walking or not , you 're his hero . he needs you , man . and you know what ? there 's a lot of other people who do , too . they wan to see you get better . they care about you . and if you just think about it for a second , you think about all the good stuff you got going on , then maybe you 'll start fighting like you been fighting your whole life . i know it sounds kind of corny , but just keep your eyes on the prize . deacon : you know something , man , you might be absolutely right . i think i do have something worth living for . massimo : is this your way of apologizing ? jackie : darling , i have nothing to apologize for . massimo : oh , that 's good . that 's good . well , how about siding with brooke ? jackie : someone needs to . massimo : why ? she 's got ridge , dominic , you , all twisted around her little finger . jackie : well , maybe that should tell you something . massimo : it does . she 's much more cunning than i give her credit for . jackie : why ca n't you see that brooke has some really amazing qualities ? massimo : indeed . she 's a master of deception . oh ! jackie : the woman is carrying your grandchild . massimo : oh , boy . you know , you certainly know how to ruin a perfectly good massage . jackie : massimo , why are you so against brooke ? massimo : why are you so for her ? jackie : because she reminds me of me . yeah . obviously a much younger me . massimo : sweetheart , she could n't be half the woman you are , even if she tried . jackie : hmm ?

eric : there 's only one person i can think of that would be able to convince him to give it to us . bridget : you are unbelievable . eric : bridget ? bridget : all of you . deacon is lying in a hospital bed , not knowing if he 's ever going to walk again , and all you care about is yourself . eric : you know me better than that . bridget : i thought i did . ridge : look , bridget . we do n't really want to put you in the middle of this and if you do n't want to talk to deacon , that 's not a problem . i 'll go do it . bridget : i do n't want any of you near him . do n't you understand ?

now you 're going to give up ? deacon : you know i might never walk again ? oscar : so ? since when you back away from a long shot , huh ? you used to thrive on them . deacon : yeah . not this time . oscar : oh , not this time . all right . come on . give it to me straight . deacon : let 's see , i got shattered vertebrae . i got bone fragments in my spinal canal . did extensive damage . oscar : so , can they take them out ?

deacon : why should n't i ? oscar : because you got too much going for you . deacon : like what ? massimo : bridget forrester . either of my sons could have had an intelligent , pretty , worthy partner in bridget . instead , they both go after that -- that mother of hers . jackie : brooke has absolutely all the qualities that you see in bridget . massimo : oh , please , jacqueline . she 's not half the woman her daughter is . if she was , i would not have to worry about which one of my sons is the father of her baby . jackie : do n't be so hard on her . massimo : how can you say that ? because of her , jacqueline , both my sons may be at each others throats . my family is being torn apart just when i have found them . jackie : even if nicky is this baby 's father , darling , it will still be your grandchild . massimo : mm - hmm . brooke will still be its mother . stephanie : bridget , everyone in this family wants deacon to recover . bridget : well , then leave him alone . stephanie : we ca n't . we 'd like to , but we ca n't , because your father 's future is hanging in the balance , and so is yours . bridget : mine ?

you 're making excuses ? because of you , deacon may be facing the one hurdle he ca n't overcome . and you 're not even sorry . eric : that 's not fair . bridget : how fair were you to deacon ? deacon : let me guess . this is the part where you tell me about how much i got to live for . oscar : hmm , yeah . you know what ? that 's exactly what part this is . what about the whole business you got starting up , huh ? deacon : i think amber and sally will be just fine without me . oscar : i thought you were the brains behind the operation . deacon : oh , yeah , yeah . look at me . i must be a fricking genius , huh ? a business like that , it needs legs . and , in case you have n't noticed , mine do n't seem to be working ' that good right now . oscar : okay . okay , so what ? you saying you 're just going to bail on your friends ? deacon : look , i 'm not their mother all right . they 'll be better off without me . oscar : what about little eric ? is he going to have to fend for himself , too ? deacon : he 's got a lot of people who care about him . probably take care of him better than i could . oscar : yeah , maybe . but i have a feeling little d would n't agree . deacon : he 's just a kid . oscar : yeah , that 's right . and he 's your kid , and walking or not , you 're his hero . he needs you , man . and you know what ? there 's a lot of other people who do , too . they wan to see you get better . they care about you . and if you just think about it for a second , you think about all the good stuff you got going on , then maybe you 'll start fighting like you been fighting your whole life . i know it sounds kind of corny , but just keep your eyes on the prize . deacon : you know something , man , you might be absolutely right . i think i do have something worth living for . massimo : is this your way of apologizing ? jackie : darling , i have nothing to apologize for . massimo : oh , that 's good . that 's good . well , how about siding with brooke ? jackie : someone needs to . massimo : why ? she 's got ridge , dominic , you , all twisted around her little finger . jackie : well , maybe that should tell you something . massimo : it does . she 's much more cunning than i give her credit for . jackie : why ca n't you see that brooke has some really amazing qualities ? massimo : indeed . she 's a master of deception . oh ! jackie : the woman is carrying your grandchild . massimo : oh , boy . you know , you certainly know how to ruin a perfectly good massage . jackie : massimo , why are you so against brooke ? massimo : why are you so for her ? jackie : because she reminds me of me . yeah . obviously a much younger me . massimo : sweetheart , she could n't be half the woman you are , even if she tried . jackie : hmm ? well , let 's see . she 's beautiful . [ jackie laughs ] seriously , she 's intelligent , she 's strong - willed , and she 's married to the wrong man . massimo : at least we agree on something . jackie : she should be with nicky , you know . and the only reason that she is n't is because of time . ridge has just had more massimo : well , it 's his loss , now is n't it ? jackie : no , it 's nicky 's loss . and i hope that brooke does n't make the same mistake as i did and loose out on all the happiness that she could have -- with nicky . massimo : what if it turns out to be ridge 's baby ? jackie : something tells me that 's not going to happen . ridge : dad settled in ? stephanie : yeah , in the guest room . i 'm so glad that he listened to me and agreed to stay . at least the press ca n't get to him here . ridge : he ca n't hide out forever . stephanie : no , he ca n't . but neither can you . you 're going to have to face the truth about this baby . ridge : we do n't know the truth , mother . stephanie : no , but you will in a few days , after you get the results from the paternity test . i 'm sorry you have to go through this , honey . massimo : you know , ridge and brooke have a bond . i do n't know -- do n't even ask me to explain it , because i have no idea what it is . it just exists . jackie : mm - hmm . and bonds can be broken . new ones formed . massimo : jacqueline , please . if you put these kinds of ideas in dominic 's head , he 's only going to be hurt and disappointed . jackie : or he 'll end up happy . yes . massimo , brooke and ridge have had how many chances ? none of them have worked out . massimo : mm - hmm . maybe it 's their due . jackie : or maybe they just were n't meant to be . you know , if nicky does turn out to be the father of this child , it 's going to prove that once and for all . massimo : dominic and brooke have been together once . what are the odds that this child is his ? jackie : oh , this has nothing to do with odds , massimo . this is fate . ridge : you know , i 'd like to go just one evening without you bashing brooke in some way . stephanie : and i 'd like you to go for the rest of your life without her hurting you . ridge : tell dad i 'll be in touch . stephanie : ridge ! do n't you blame me for this . i wanted to believe in brooke . ridge : then do it , mother . do it . support my marriage . stephanie : oh , ridge . ridge : seriously . look , i love brooke . i love her from such a deep place down inside myself that it kind of scares me . stephanie : she slept with your brother . ridge : how many times do i have to tell you , mother , she was grieving . she believed i was dead . she just turned to nick for a little comfort and the bastard took advantage of that . it 's a situation that never would have happened under any other circumstance . stephanie : are you so sure ? ridge : yes , i am . let me tell you something . brooke and i are together . and we 're going to stay together . stephanie : and if it 's nick 's baby ? bridget : you like them ? deacon : i expect to be tiptoeing though them very soon .

[ soft dramatic music ] will : i do n't blame sonny for anything . lucas : he 's moving on with his life . he 's getting married again . he 's acting like you never existed . will : well , i want him to be happy . and i think you should too . lucas : anybody could be happy . sonny and paul could be happy . adrienne and justin could be happy . i was supposed to get married here , man . i was supposed to get married to her . i sat here -- stood her like a dope and i waited for her to come down the aisle to marry me and it never happened . will : well , maybe ... maybe it was n't meant to be . maybe adrienne was always gon na end up with justin . lucas : is that why you came here ? is that what you came all the way down here to tell me ? that i never had a chance with adrienne ? will : no , dad , i 'm saying that maybe you are meant to be with someone else . lucas : yeah , like who ? will : what about mom ? lucas : sami ? lips lose natural color over time . sonny : oh , the things lucas said about will . jj : mm - hmm . how did sonny react ? paul : he played it off like he was okay , but i know that it brought up a lot of terrible memories and guilt . jj : guilt ? guilt for ... breaking up their relationship ? that was n't sonny 's fault . paul : no , it was mine . jj : well , you did n't know will was sonny 's husband when you guys hooked up . paul : yeah , but once i found out , i ... i should have stepped back and let will and sonny work things out . and maybe if i had ... jj : `` maybe if you had `` what ? will and sonny would have stayed together ? will would n't have been killed ? paul : maybe . jj : stop , paul . nothing that happened was because of you or sonny or anyone else besides that psychopath ben . he murdered will and two other people . he terrorized my sister . he had all of us fooled . paul : it 's just that -- jj : you have nothing to feel guilty for . [ soft music ] look . i thought that sonny would n't get over will , but you brought love and happiness back into his life . you 're the best thing that ever happened to him , man . gabi : yeah , lucas was drunk and he tried to see arianna , so i sent him away . maybe -- i did tell him that you guys were working on the wedding , so maybe he thought you were at the church . abigail : no , do n't worry about it . you had no idea of knowing what he was gon na do . gabi : what did he say ? abigail : what did n't he say ? um ... well , he went after sonny for marrying paul and for abandoning will and then he went on to bash pretty much the entire institution of marriage , so ... gabi : what ? i ca n't believe that i -- that i missed that . i mean , did you at least finish everything you needed to finish before he showed up ? abigail : yeah . yeah , we just needed to let the priest know it was gon na be a double wedding and i think he was pretty surprised . [ chuckles ] gabi : well , yeah , so was i . abigail : i 'm sure that did come as a shock , yeah . did n't really realize what you were getting yourself into when you said arianna could be sonny 's flower girl . gabi : no , but , um ... i mean , look at her . [ chuckles ] she 's really excited . she made me buy her those flowers . abigail : ah , did she ? um ... you know , obviously , you want your daughter to be present for her dad 's wedding , so i guess the question is whether you 've decided whether or not you 're going to be present for mine and chad 's ? sonny : the whole time i was gone , i was thinking about will . missing him . then i got his message . [ somber music ] i 've listened to that thing so many times i pretty much have it memorized . `` i love you so much , sonny . and even if i do n't get the chance to get back together with you , i have to make this right for you . i love you . `` [ quietly ] i love you . [ laughs softly ] i was gon na plan a trip home . i just wanted him to know just how much that message meant to me . and that i still love him . [ sighs ] if i just came home one day earlier , chad . chad : stop . stop . sonny : just one day earlier . chad : sonny . sonny . you have to forgive yourself . it 's what will would want . okay ? he 'd want you to be happy . he 'd want you to fall in love again . and ... he definitely would n't want his father of all people to be the one that stands in the way of that . lucas : you know more than anyone what it was like when your mother and i were together . it was disaster . will : not always . lucas : [ sighs ] we fought all the time . will : mostly over me . lucas : but you were the thing that connected us . i mean , without you , we would have killed each other . will : you and mom loved each other for a long time . lucas : your mother and i , we had a lot of good times together . we raised a lot of hell . will : [ chuckles softly ] and i know you still think about her . lucas : your mom will always hold a special place in my heart . there 's only one sami brady in this world . will : thank god . will : mostly i 'm grateful for you and allie . i know that you wanted your parents to get back together , but ... i 'm sorry , it just does n't look like that 's gon na happen . will : okay . well , if not mom , then how about somebody else ? lucas : have you taken a good look at me lately ? i 'm a belligerent drunk with no job , all right ? i 'm not exactly a catch . will : you ca n't give up on yourself , dad . or on love . lucas : sometimes love gives up on you . will : okay . okay , fine . you wan na give up ? fine . quit . go ahead , quit on life . just fall down to the bottom of that bottle and die . that 's a great way to honor my memory . lucas : [ breathes shakily ] ohn 's disease . jennifer : i know that lucas is drinking again . i tried to get him to go to a meeting with me and he just wo n't do it . kate : did you keep trying ? jennifer : he 's not taking my calls at this point . kate : i tried to get through to him , too , but i think that i just made things worse . jennifer : how ? kate : the first time i found out that he was drinking , i gave him a warning , and then when i caught him again , i fired him . i know . please , do n't judge . jennifer : no , i 'm not judging you . i know you have a business to run . kate : no , it was n't just about the business . i ... i feel so helpless as a parent watching my child lose to an addiction , and i thought that i could give him a wakeup call , and i think that ... it just all backfired . jennifer : there 's no easy answers . i think that you need to let him hit rock bottom and then when he gets to that place , he can pull himself back up . kate : i just hope someone can reach him , jennifer . i really do . before he just throws his entire life away . lucas : you know , i 've already gotten a lecture from your grandmother and jennifer . i do n't need a lecture from my dead son too . will : well ... i am in your head , so you brought me here for a reason . lucas : yeah , because i 'm drunk . that 's the reason . if you 're gon na try to guilt me into going to rehab , you are wasting your time . will : i 've got nothing but time , actually . lucas : yeah , right . that 's what i used to think too . [ soft dramatic music ] will : so that 's your plan ? wallow in your pain instead of dealing with it ? lucas : you got a better one ? sonny : if i could just talk to will one more time . just let him know that i forgive him , and that i never stopped loving him . chad : he knows . trust me . i 'm sure he knows . sonny : [ sighs ] chad : look , things do n't always go as planned . right ? and i know that i 'm stating the obvious , but what i 'm trying to say is , when that happens , you just -- you got ta come up with a new plan . you know , look at me and abby . sonny : you both are getting a second chance . i mean i 'm so happy for you . chad : yeah , so are you . sonny , you are getting a second chance , okay ? paul is your second chance . paul : so before i came along , sonny and will , they were happy , right ? jj : mostly . why ? paul : i mean , i wan na know about them , you know . not just the legend of sonny and will . i wan na know the truth . jj : truth . well ... they fought through a lot to be together . and when they finally were , it just really seemed to work . paul : and sonny seemed happy ? jj : yeah . yeah , he did . he spent all those years traveling around the world . nothing holding him down , but ... will grounded him . so whenever he was around will , he just seemed lighter . like i said , they just worked . sonny : and everyone knew it . jj : yeah , it was kind of hard to miss what they had going on . you know , their connection . paul : so you would say , uh ... it was true love for the both of them ? jj : yeah , i 'd say that . paul . look , man ... if you 're worried that sonny does n't love you as much as he loved will , do n't go there . they 're in the past . you and sonny , you have your whole lives ahead of you . together . gabi : look , it 's your wedding , and you have enough to worry about , so i really do n't want you worrying about me . abigail : look , hey , you 're my friend . your feelings are important to me , okay ? but at the same time , if you do n't wan na come to the wedding , i do understand . what are you thinking right now ? [ soft dramatic music ] gabi : abigail , um ... you know , everything that 's happened has been -- has been really hard . and i know that i 've got plenty of time until i can totally get over it , but i 'm trying and ... every day i 'm getting better and better , and i 've got arianna . she 's my best friend , so , yeah . abigail : so ... does that mean you 're gon na come to the wedding ? gabi : seeing you guys happy and seeing sonny finally marry paul and seeing him happy , that matters more than whatever i 'm feeling . so , yeah , of course i 'm gon na be there . abigail : i really do love you . gabi : and i love you very much too . and just so you know , eli asked me if i wanted to go with him to your wedding , so i wo n't be all that pitiful by myself there . abigail : oh , come on , you 're not pitiful . you 're beautiful and you 're just -- you 're a great person . gabi : so are you . come here . abigail : thanks . so ... eli , huh ? gabi : oh , no , it 's not a -- [ laughs softly ] abigail : i should n't have -- right , yeah . i should n't have said that . gabi : i never -- it 's not a date or anything like that . abigail : i get it , yeah . i 'm just glad you 're gon na be there . gabi : me too . sonny : you know what ? you 're right . i 'm not gon na let lucas 's drunk rant spoil my wedding or even my day . chad : there he is . sonny 's back in the game . sonny : [ laughs ] chad : wan na know why ? 'cause you 're lucky . i mean , how many people get to say that they 're marrying their best friend ? i mean , i ... i do n't know , not many , but you are , yeah ? and you know what ? you and paul , you make a great couple . sonny : well , thank you . and i also wan na apologize . chad : why 's that ? sonny : i just , you know , no one 's gon na be looking at you at your wedding . it 's just -- because i 'm gon na be so damn smashing in my new tuxedo . chad : no . now i may be biased , but i think that they 're gon na be looking at abby . that 's just ... sonny : okay , you 're probably right . and you know what lucas said about most marriages ending in divorce ? chad : screw statistics . sonny : exactly . love is all about beating the odds , and i 'm betting on you and abigail . sonny : oh . sonny : and paul and me . thank you . chad : mm . paul : it 's just -- i mean , it just seems like sonny and will , they were the couple . thee couple . i mean , people talk about their wedding like it was a royal event . how do you live up to that ? jj : you do n't have to . look , man . you and sonny belong together . you guys are the present and the future . just like i said . you and sonny . end of story . paul : yeah . okay , yeah . yeah , you 're right . jj : i know i 'm right . paul : yes . jj : so how about we go get our tuxes so you do n't have to get married in your jeans . paul : you know , i would n't mind that . it 'd be a lot more comfortable . jj : you 're not supposed to be comfortable at your own wedding . paul : [ chuckles ] god forbid .

[ soft dramatic music ] will : i do n't blame sonny for anything . lucas : he 's moving on with his life . he 's getting married again . he 's acting like you never existed . will : well , i want him to be happy . and i think you should too . lucas : anybody could be happy . sonny and paul could be happy . adrienne and justin could be happy . i was supposed to get married here , man . i was supposed to get married to her . i sat here -- stood her like a dope and i waited for her to come down the aisle to marry me and it never happened . will : well , maybe ... maybe it was n't meant to be . maybe adrienne was always gon na end up with justin . lucas : is that why you came here ? is that what you came all the way down here to tell me ? that i never had a chance with adrienne ? will : no , dad , i 'm saying that maybe you are meant to be with someone else . lucas : yeah , like who ? will : what about mom ? lucas : sami ? lips lose natural color over time . sonny : oh , the things lucas said about will . jj : mm - hmm . how did sonny react ? paul : he played it off like he was okay , but i know that it brought up a lot of terrible memories and guilt . jj : guilt ? guilt for ... breaking up their relationship ? that was n't sonny 's fault . paul : no , it was mine . jj : well , you did n't know will was sonny 's husband when you guys hooked up . paul : yeah , but once i found out , i ... i should have stepped back and let will and sonny work things out . and maybe if i had ... jj : `` maybe if you had `` what ? will and sonny would have stayed together ? will would n't have been killed ? paul : maybe . jj : stop , paul . nothing that happened was because of you or sonny or anyone else besides that psychopath ben . he murdered will and two other people . he terrorized my sister . he had all of us fooled . paul : it 's just that -- jj : you have nothing to feel guilty for . [ soft music ] look . i thought that sonny would n't get over will , but you brought love and happiness back into his life . you 're the best thing that ever happened to him , man . gabi : yeah , lucas was drunk and he tried to see arianna , so i sent him away . maybe -- i did tell him that you guys were working on the wedding , so maybe he thought you were at the church . abigail : no , do n't worry about it . you had no idea of knowing what he was gon na do . gabi : what did he say ? abigail : what did n't he say ? um ... well , he went after sonny for marrying paul and for abandoning will and then he went on to bash pretty much the entire institution of marriage , so ... gabi : what ? i ca n't believe that i -- that i missed that . i mean , did you at least finish everything you needed to finish before he showed up ? abigail : yeah . yeah , we just needed to let the priest know it was gon na be a double wedding and i think he was pretty surprised . [ chuckles ] gabi : well , yeah , so was i . abigail : i 'm sure that did come as a shock , yeah . did n't really realize what you were getting yourself into when you said arianna could be sonny 's flower girl . gabi : no , but , um ... i mean , look at her . [ chuckles ] she 's really excited . she made me buy her those flowers . abigail : ah , did she ? um ... you know , obviously , you want your daughter to be present for her dad 's wedding , so i guess the question is whether you 've decided whether or not you 're going to be present for mine and chad 's ? sonny : the whole time i was gone , i was thinking about will . missing him . then i got his message . [ somber music ] i 've listened to that thing so many times i pretty much have it memorized . `` i love you so much , sonny . and even if i do n't get the chance to get back together with you , i have to make this right for you . i love you . `` [ quietly ] i love you . [ laughs softly ] i was gon na plan a trip home . i just wanted him to know just how much that message meant to me . and that i still love him . [ sighs ] if i just came home one day earlier , chad . chad : stop . stop . sonny : just one day earlier . chad : sonny . sonny . you have to forgive yourself . it 's what will would want . okay ? he 'd want you to be happy . he 'd want you to fall in love again . and ... he definitely would n't want his father of all people to be the one that stands in the way of that . lucas : you know more than anyone what it was like when your mother and i were together . it was disaster . will : not always . lucas : [ sighs ] we fought all the time . will : mostly over me . lucas : but you were the thing that connected us . i mean , without you , we would have killed each other . will : you and mom loved each other for a long time . lucas : your mother and i , we had a lot of good times together . we raised a lot of hell . will : [ chuckles softly ] and i know you still think about her . lucas : your mom will always hold a special place in my heart . there 's only one sami brady in this world . will : thank god . will : mostly i 'm grateful for you and allie . i know that you wanted your parents to get back together , but ... i 'm sorry , it just does n't look like that 's gon na happen . will : okay . well , if not mom , then how about somebody else ? lucas : have you taken a good look at me lately ? i 'm a belligerent drunk with no job , all right ? i 'm not exactly a catch . will : you ca n't give up on yourself , dad . or on love . lucas : sometimes love gives up on you . will : okay . okay , fine . you wan na give up ? fine . quit . go ahead , quit on life . just fall down to the bottom of that bottle and die . that 's a great way to honor my memory . lucas : [ breathes shakily ] ohn 's disease . jennifer : i know that lucas is drinking again . i tried to get him to go to a meeting with me and he just wo n't do it . kate : did you keep trying ? jennifer : he 's not taking my calls at this point . kate : i tried to get through to him , too , but i think that i just made things worse . jennifer : how ? kate : the first time i found out that he was drinking , i gave him a warning , and then when i caught him again , i fired him . i know . please , do n't judge . jennifer : no , i 'm not judging you . i know you have a business to run . kate : no , it was n't just about the business . i ... i feel so helpless as a parent watching my child lose to an addiction , and i thought that i could give him a wakeup call , and i think that ... it just all backfired . jennifer : there 's no easy answers . i think that you need to let him hit rock bottom and then when he gets to that place , he can pull himself back up . kate : i just hope someone can reach him , jennifer . i really do . before he just throws his entire life away . lucas : you know , i 've already gotten a lecture from your grandmother and jennifer . i do n't need a lecture from my dead son too . will : well ... i am in your head , so you brought me here for a reason . lucas : yeah , because i 'm drunk . that 's the reason . if you 're gon na try to guilt me into going to rehab , you are wasting your time . will : i 've got nothing but time , actually . lucas : yeah , right . that 's what i used to think too . [ soft dramatic music ] will : so that 's your plan ? wallow in your pain instead of dealing with it ? lucas : you got a better one ? sonny : if i could just talk to will one more time . just let him know that i forgive him , and that i never stopped loving him . chad : he knows . trust me . i 'm sure he knows . sonny : [ sighs ] chad : look , things do n't always go as planned . right ? and i know that i 'm stating the obvious , but what i 'm trying to say is , when that happens , you just -- you got ta come up with a new plan . you know , look at me and abby . sonny : you both are getting a second chance . i mean i 'm so happy for you . chad : yeah , so are you . sonny , you are getting a second chance , okay ? paul is your second chance . paul : so before i came along , sonny and will , they were happy , right ? jj : mostly . why ? paul : i mean , i wan na know about them , you know . not just the legend of sonny and will . i wan na know the truth . jj : truth . well ... they fought through a lot to be together . and when they finally were , it just really seemed to work . paul : and sonny seemed happy ? jj : yeah . yeah , he did . he spent all those years traveling around the world . nothing holding him down , but ... will grounded him . so whenever he was around will , he just seemed lighter . like i said , they just worked . sonny : and everyone knew it . jj : yeah , it was kind of hard to miss what they had going on . you know , their connection . paul : so you would say , uh ... it was true love for the both of them ? jj : yeah , i 'd say that . paul . look , man ... if you 're worried that sonny does n't love you as much as he loved will , do n't go there . they 're in the past . you and sonny , you have your whole lives ahead of you . together . gabi : look , it 's your wedding , and you have enough to worry about , so i really do n't want you worrying about me . abigail : look , hey , you 're my friend . your feelings are important to me , okay ? but at the same time , if you do n't wan na come to the wedding , i do understand . what are you thinking right now ? [ soft dramatic music ] gabi : abigail , um ... you know , everything that 's happened has been -- has been really hard . and i know that i 've got plenty of time until i can totally get over it , but i 'm trying and ... every day i 'm getting better and better , and i 've got arianna . she 's my best friend , so , yeah . abigail : so ... does that mean you 're gon na come to the wedding ? gabi : seeing you guys happy and seeing sonny finally marry paul and seeing him happy , that matters more than whatever i 'm feeling . so , yeah , of course i 'm gon na be there . abigail : i really do love you . gabi : and i love you very much too . and just so you know , eli asked me if i wanted to go with him to your wedding , so i wo n't be all that pitiful by myself there . abigail : oh , come on , you 're not pitiful . you 're beautiful and you 're just -- you 're a great person . gabi : so are you . come here . abigail : thanks . so ... eli , huh ? gabi : oh , no , it 's not a -- [ laughs softly ] abigail : i should n't have -- right , yeah . i should n't have said that . gabi : i never -- it 's not a date or anything like that . abigail : i get it , yeah . i 'm just glad you 're gon na be there . gabi : me too . sonny : you know what ? you 're right . i 'm not gon na let lucas 's drunk rant spoil my wedding or even my day . chad : there he is . sonny 's back in the game . sonny : [ laughs ] chad : wan na know why ? 'cause you 're lucky . i mean , how many people get to say that they 're marrying their best friend ? i mean , i ... i do n't know , not many , but you are , yeah ? and you know what ? you and paul , you make a great couple . sonny : well , thank you . and i also wan na apologize . chad : why 's that ? sonny : i just , you know , no one 's gon na be looking at you at your wedding . it 's just -- because i 'm gon na be so damn smashing in my new tuxedo . chad : no . now i may be biased , but i think that they 're gon na be looking at abby . that 's just ... sonny : okay , you 're probably right . and you know what lucas said about most marriages ending in divorce ? chad : screw statistics . sonny : exactly . love is all about beating the odds , and i 'm betting on you and abigail . sonny : oh . sonny : and paul and me . thank you . chad : mm . paul : it 's just -- i mean , it just seems like sonny and will , they were the couple . thee couple . i mean , people talk about their wedding like it was a royal event . how do you live up to that ? jj : you do n't have to . look , man . you and sonny belong together . you guys are the present and the future . just like i said . you and sonny . end of story . paul : yeah . okay , yeah . yeah , you 're right . jj : i know i 'm right . paul : yes . jj : so how about we go get our tuxes so you do n't have to get married in your jeans . paul : you know , i would n't mind that . it 'd be a lot more comfortable . jj : you 're not supposed to be comfortable at your own wedding . paul : [ chuckles ] god forbid .

[ scene_break ] finn : what was that about ? dr. obrecht : nurse webber was lamenting her sister 's sudden decision to decamp without so much as a fare - thee - well . and on the eve of her wedding . what could have driven a woman in her condition to take such drastic action ? tell me , dr. finn -- were the two of you having difficulties ? [ clicking tongue ] is n't that always the way ? the people who seem the happiest are often concealing sadness ... and secrets . what a shame ms. barnes felt compelled to run from her problems . when i was unfairly dismissed from this hospital , i , too , considered packing my bags . but then i remembered -- i have friends here , family , people that i love and who love me in return . i knew they would miss me . a better idea , i decided , was to stick it out ... and stick it to those who hurt me . finn : you did this . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's typical obrecht to go after hayden instead of admitting it 's her own fault she got fired . franco : liesl 's always had her own particular way of looking at the world . elizabeth : i do n't understand why you want anything to do with that woman . franco : you know , there 's a lot of people in this world , i 'm sure , who do n't understand why you want to have anything to do with me . elizabeth : that 's different . you 've worked really hard to become a better person . but obrecht is and will always be an unrepentant ... franco : obrecht is a friend of mine , and i do n't disagree with you . what she did to hayden sucks , but ... just tell me what i can do now to help you feel better about things . elizabeth : well , you just being here makes me feel better .

[ scene_break ] finn : what was that about ? dr. obrecht : nurse webber was lamenting her sister 's sudden decision to decamp without so much as a fare - thee - well . and on the eve of her wedding . what could have driven a woman in her condition to take such drastic action ? tell me , dr. finn -- were the two of you having difficulties ? [ clicking tongue ] is n't that always the way ? the people who seem the happiest are often concealing sadness ... and secrets . what a shame ms. barnes felt compelled to run from her problems . when i was unfairly dismissed from this hospital , i , too , considered packing my bags . but then i remembered -- i have friends here , family , people that i love and who love me in return . i knew they would miss me . a better idea , i decided , was to stick it out ... and stick it to those who hurt me . finn : you did this . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's typical obrecht to go after hayden instead of admitting it 's her own fault she got fired . franco : liesl 's always had her own particular way of looking at the world . elizabeth : i do n't understand why you want anything to do with that woman . franco : you know , there 's a lot of people in this world , i 'm sure , who do n't understand why you want to have anything to do with me . elizabeth : that 's different . you 've worked really hard to become a better person . but obrecht is and will always be an unrepentant ... franco : obrecht is a friend of mine , and i do n't disagree with you . what she did to hayden sucks , but ... just tell me what i can do now to help you feel better about things . elizabeth : well , you just being here makes me feel better . [ door closes ] elizabeth : tell me about new york . franco : uh , seriously ? i already told you . it was fine . elizabeth : tell me . franco : the suit 's been settled . most of my artwork 's been returned , and ... i missed you . i was away for too long . i hated being away from you . i hated being away from the boys , too . elizabeth : yeah , we were n't too happy about that , either . franco : so maybe we make a new rule that nobody ever leaves port charles ? elizabeth : well , that would n't be fair . it 's a big world out there . i would n't want you to miss it . franco : you trying to get rid of me ? elizabeth : [ laughs ] no . i 'm just saying you should feel free to roam about . as long as you come back . there 's always room . franco : there 's always room in port charles ? elizabeth : in this house . there 's always room for you .

[ scene_break ] stefano : are you really that unconcerned about samantha taking off with sidney ? ej : it 's all part of a new approach , see . he had to get samantha to let her guard down . let her think that i 've been chastened by circumstance , you know , so she forgives , forgets , that kind of thing . stefano : of course . that would n't be out of character for you at all , right ? ej : [ laughs ] okay . when is this gon na be ready ? stefano : aha . in a matter of days and then samantha and rafael will never know what hit them .

[ scene_break ] marco : i 'll tell the men to try to keep it down . but doing a project this big without disturbing anything up here , it 's not easy . stefano : i know . but it has to be a success because it is a key to keeping rafael hernandez out of my family 's life permanently . how 's it going ? good . how are you ?

[ clicks tongue ] rafe : exactly . well , it 's only been a day . but so far he 's keeping his word . he let sidney spend the night at our place last night . and he 's already drawn up a new shared custody agreement . showed it to a lawyer . lawyer said the terms are generous . daniel : well , there you go . maybe he is a changed man . rafe : we 'll see . time will tell , right ? there 's also stefano we got to contend with . the guy ca n't stand sami . and those grandkids are definitely his prize possessions . daniel : yeah . child of your child . i ca n't imagine loving it any more . rafe : oh , man , you have no idea . when something bad happens to those kids , it 's , uh ... yeah . daniel : even though they 're not your kids ? rafe : you have no idea . no , i tell you , you live with the kids , you wipe their noses , you make them dinner . you -- you hold them when they cry . does n't matter whose blood 's running through your veins . they 're your kids .

[ scene_break ] erica : miranda had something that your sister , kendall , never had . you as a wonderful mother . and despite all of kendall 's troubles , she really pulled herself together . she certainly came through for us when we needed her . bianca : have you seen her since you got back from rehab ? erica : no . no , not yet . bianca : well , she 's spun out of control again . this time her targets are ryan and greenlee . erica : she has n't dealt with that yet ? bianca : you know , she was doing so much better for so long that i thought that she had actually turned a corner , but she has n't . she ca n't . she ca n't get past this image of herself . she will spend her whole life overcompensating for something that is n't even her fault . miranda will never have to deal with that . she died without having to be judged . erica : you listen to me . everyone lives their life differently . and everyone is shaped by so much more than any one single event . and miranda would have had such a great start with you as her loving mother . you are so wise . you are so generous . bianca : you 're being really kind , mom , but you know that you felt just the way i feel now . and did n't you believe that miranda would have been better off never being born ? [ scene_break ] j.r. : i do n't know what you 're accusing me of . but i protect my wife and my child from my brother , the stalker . i outsmart the man who fired me from my own company . now , if that makes me like adam , i can live with it . babe : honey , i know that you believe in what you 're doing . i just -- i just wish you would n't be so mean about it . j.r. : babe , this is n't a popularity contest . everything i do is for you and bess . i wo n't apologize for that . do n't make me out to be less than i can be . when i succeed , i 'm only setting it up for you and bess to be secure . the move i just made on ryan is going to set bess up for life . babe : i do n't care about the money , i care about the fact that you 're turning into your father . j.r. : this has nothing to do with my father . this is all about me , pure but not so simple . see , if ryan and jamie are getting what they deserve , that 's because they only have themselves to blame . the bottom line is you do n't cross me and get away with it . kendall : you can try to push me away , ryan , but you will never stop thinking about me . and you will never stop loving me , no matter how hard you fight it . i know you . i know you , ryan . you 're just furious with me because i slept with your brother and because you lost the company . this is how you 're fighting back . ryan : if you want to tell yourself that , you go ahead . kendall : no . no , it drives you crazy because i still get under your skin . and what we have -- it wo n't just disappear , no matter how much you want it to or how much you want to push it away . ryan : let me ask you something . what is it going to take to convince you that i 'm done ? i mean , when are you going to actually believe that i 'm telling you the truth ? kendall : when you stop lying to yourself . ryan : have n't you had enough ? kendall : never . ryan : ok . next cambias board meeting , you 're fired . [ scene_break ] erica : bianca , do you remember at the intervention you said that i would take on your pain and make it my own ? that was a very brave thing for you to say . and i thought about it . i thought about it all the time when i was in rehab , how profound that was . and i 'm here today in front of you to say that you were right . that 's exactly what i did . but , sweetheart , now , when you talk this way , is n't that what you 're doing ? are n't you taking on my pain and making it your own ? bianca : no , i 'm just trying to face the truth . erica : the truth , honey , is that our situations were very different . you loved miranda from the moment you knew that -- that she was growing inside you . i was so young . i was so traumatized that i could n't even accept that there was a baby . your love for your baby was much deeper than any pain . what michael cambias did to you could never poison you against your own baby . what did your therapist say about this , bianca ? bianca : i stopped going . erica : but what about the rape group ? you said that that was really helping you . bianca : yeah , it was really helping me , but there 's only so much misery with a bunch of strangers that a person can take . erica : but you were doing so well . bianca : yeah , and i 'm -- and i 'm fine . i 'm still -- i 'm doing fine on my own . mom , i got a lot of professional help , but now i 'm done .

[ thunder ] liza : and suddenly the colors are brighter , and it 's really hard to find your way back . babe : well , that does n't sound so terrible . liza : it 's technicolor , sweetie . and sometimes life is better in black and white . right and wrong , good and evil . babe : well , you can think what you want to think , liza , but what happened today -- it was a total fluke . j.r. is absolutely nothing like adam . liza : you know , really , a couple of months ago i might have agreed with you . but your husband is exactly like my ex . it 's imprinted on his dna . babe : but you do n't know j.r. like i do . liza : i know you 're madly in love with him . that 's the way i used to feel about adam . and you know , being married to a chandler is magical . and then one day you do something , whether you mean to or not , and they see it as a betrayal . and they turn on you . and suddenly , you are not in oz anymore . [ scene_break ] erica : bianca , i 'm worried about you . i think it 's way too early for you to stop therapy . miranda 's only been gone 4-½ months . bianca : mom , i got help early . i unlocked my pain and i let it go . erica : you 've been coping . i mean , you 've been absolutely amazing , honey . but there 's no way that you could possibly be completely over what happened to you . bianca : mom , i 'm fine . i have been working on my problems for over a year now . i -- i 've done the work i need . i 'm done now . i 'm ready to move on . [ thunder ] erica : yeah , well , neither one of us is completely done . not if a little thunder can send us back into our nightmares . bianca : i 'm rooting for you , mom . i really am , and i will help you any way i can to help you get over your pain . but our journeys are different . i 've done the work i need to do . it 's over .

[ scene_break ] kendall : what brought this on ? you and me , making love here again ? ryan : no , not again . i 'm thinking about a lifetime ago , the one and only time that we made love up here . kendall : we were sensational . ryan : yeah , i was off - balance . but there was this intensity , like i was connected to you in a way that i could n't -- i could n't figure out . there was no doubt . i had no doubt that i was in love with you . kendall : i know . i felt it , too . ryan : you put me through all feelings -- passion , lust . from pure love to total frustration , sadness , and an anger that i did n't want to know from . kendall : what about now ? what are you feeling right now ? ryan : i feel nothing . nothing . i 'm over you . it 's like i 've been carrying around a ton of bricks , and i 've finally been able to let them go . thank you , kendall . kendall : what , just `` thank you `` ? no flowers ? no sweet card ? ryan : i mean it , kendall . the stunt that you pulled today where you set my brother up to make sure that i , you know , messed up the deal , and you dragged bianca into it -- i think that 's what finally did it . it 's like i came out of a cave and i breathed fresh air for the very , very first time . kendall : ok , all right . i get it , ryan . i get it . you 're angry . ok . ryan : no , no , no , you do n't -- you do n't get it . you 're not listening . there is no anger anymore . i feel nothing . kendall : all right , listen , you can say whatever you want to make yourself feel better , ryan , all right ? but what we have -- what we have is not just going to disappear just like that . you -- you ca n't break our bond , ryan . no one -- nothing -- nothing can ! ryan : it 's not just broken . it 's been smashed into a million pieces , kendall . let it go . [ scene_break ] erica : miranda had something that your sister , kendall , never had . you as a wonderful mother . and despite all of kendall 's troubles , she really pulled herself together . she certainly came through for us when we needed her . bianca : have you seen her since you got back from rehab ? erica : no . no , not yet . bianca : well , she 's spun out of control again . this time her targets are ryan and greenlee . erica : she has n't dealt with that yet ? bianca : you know , she was doing so much better for so long that i thought that she had actually turned a corner , but she has n't . she ca n't . she ca n't get past this image of herself . she will spend her whole life overcompensating for something that is n't even her fault . miranda will never have to deal with that . she died without having to be judged . erica : you listen to me . everyone lives their life differently . and everyone is shaped by so much more than any one single event . and miranda would have had such a great start with you as her loving mother . you are so wise . you are so generous . bianca : you 're being really kind , mom , but you know that you felt just the way i feel now . and did n't you believe that miranda would have been better off never being born ? [ scene_break ] j.r. : i do n't know what you 're accusing me of . but i protect my wife and my child from my brother , the stalker . i outsmart the man who fired me from my own company . now , if that makes me like adam , i can live with it . babe : honey , i know that you believe in what you 're doing . i just -- i just wish you would n't be so mean about it . j.r. : babe , this is n't a popularity contest . everything i do is for you and bess . i wo n't apologize for that . do n't make me out to be less than i can be . when i succeed , i 'm only setting it up for you and bess to be secure . the move i just made on ryan is going to set bess up for life . babe : i do n't care about the money , i care about the fact that you 're turning into your father . j.r. : this has nothing to do with my father . this is all about me , pure but not so simple . see , if ryan and jamie are getting what they deserve , that 's because they only have themselves to blame . the bottom line is you do n't cross me and get away with it . kendall : you can try to push me away , ryan , but you will never stop thinking about me . and you will never stop loving me , no matter how hard you fight it . i know you . i know you , ryan . you 're just furious with me because i slept with your brother and because you lost the company . this is how you 're fighting back . ryan : if you want to tell yourself that , you go ahead . kendall : no . no , it drives you crazy because i still get under your skin . and what we have -- it wo n't just disappear , no matter how much you want it to or how much you want to push it away . ryan : let me ask you something . what is it going to take to convince you that i 'm done ? i mean , when are you going to actually believe that i 'm telling you the truth ? kendall : when you stop lying to yourself . ryan : have n't you had enough ? kendall : never . ryan : ok . next cambias board meeting , you 're fired . [ scene_break ] erica : bianca , do you remember at the intervention you said that i would take on your pain and make it my own ? that was a very brave thing for you to say . and i thought about it . i thought about it all the time when i was in rehab , how profound that was . and i 'm here today in front of you to say that you were right . that 's exactly what i did . but , sweetheart , now , when you talk this way , is n't that what you 're doing ? are n't you taking on my pain and making it your own ? bianca : no , i 'm just trying to face the truth . erica : the truth , honey , is that our situations were very different . you loved miranda from the moment you knew that -- that she was growing inside you . i was so young . i was so traumatized that i could n't even accept that there was a baby . your love for your baby was much deeper than any pain . what michael cambias did to you could never poison you against your own baby . what did your therapist say about this , bianca ? bianca : i stopped going . erica : but what about the rape group ? you said that that was really helping you . bianca : yeah , it was really helping me , but there 's only so much misery with a bunch of strangers that a person can take . erica : but you were doing so well . bianca : yeah , and i 'm -- and i 'm fine . i 'm still -- i 'm doing fine on my own . mom , i got a lot of professional help , but now i 'm done . [ scene_break ] adam : ready ? j.r. : liza , are you coming ? liza : not this time . i 'm feeling a little nauseous . adam : i 'll bring the car around . j.r. : i 'm sorry that you 're so upset . babe : i ca n't pretend that i 'm not . j.r. : i just want you to be honest with me , just like i 'm being honest with you . i 'm all about family . you know that . babe : i just wish that you could see yourself sometimes . i mean , it 's just like -- it 's like you 're a copy of adam , and i know how much you would hate that as much as i do . j.r. : i 'll try to be more careful . i hate to upset you . bye - bye . you two have a good time . babe : can you say bye to daddy , precious ? say `` bye , daddy . `` try to be nice to somebody today , ok ? liza : i have something i need to say to you , babe . and i do n't think you 're going to like it . i 'm not so sure you know what it means to be married to a chandler , and i 've been where you are . i have a little insight . babe : yes . well , brooke already gave me the famous ex - wife speech . liza : well , that 's good . let 's see if our stories match up . you meet a chandler man , he sweeps you off your feet . you get sucked up into a tornado in kansas and drop down into a field in oz . [ thunder ] liza : and suddenly the colors are brighter , and it 's really hard to find your way back . babe : well , that does n't sound so terrible . liza : it 's technicolor , sweetie . and sometimes life is better in black and white . right and wrong , good and evil . babe : well , you can think what you want to think , liza , but what happened today -- it was a total fluke . j.r. is absolutely nothing like adam . liza : you know , really , a couple of months ago i might have agreed with you . but your husband is exactly like my ex . it 's imprinted on his dna . babe : but you do n't know j.r. like i do . liza : i know you 're madly in love with him . that 's the way i used to feel about adam . and you know , being married to a chandler is magical . and then one day you do something , whether you mean to or not , and they see it as a betrayal . and they turn on you . and suddenly , you are not in oz anymore . [ scene_break ] erica : bianca , i 'm worried about you . i think it 's way too early for you to stop therapy . miranda 's only been gone 4-½ months . bianca : mom , i got help early . i unlocked my pain and i let it go . erica : you 've been coping . i mean , you 've been absolutely amazing , honey . but there 's no way that you could possibly be completely over what happened to you . bianca : mom , i 'm fine . i have been working on my problems for over a year now . i -- i 've done the work i need . i 'm done now . i 'm ready to move on . [ thunder ] erica : yeah , well , neither one of us is completely done . not if a little thunder can send us back into our nightmares . bianca : i 'm rooting for you , mom . i really am , and i will help you any way i can to help you get over your pain . but our journeys are different . i 've done the work i need to do . it 's over .

[ scene_break ] michael : it was dumb of me to yell at mom and throw that plate at her like that . morgan : why are you so mad at her ? michael : because i have brain damage . my mind does n't work like it used to . morgan : are you going to get better ? michael : the doctor says i will , but it 'll take time . meanwhile , i keep losing my temper and i ca n't control it , which makes me mad at myself , and then i get worse , if that makes sense . morgan : i guess . michael : you know , this may sound kind of weird , but you 're the big brother now , okay ? morgan : me ? michael : yeah , you know , you know how to handle things and you do n't freak or throw a tantrum like a two - year - old . i have to relearn that stuff . and until i do , it 's not fair for you or mom or jax to have to deal with me . [ scene_break ] carly : he needs help , you know . it 's -- he just got home . there 's bound to be an adjustment period . jax : it 's one argument after another . and now he 's making bad decisions , getting himself into trouble ? carly : he went to jake 's . so what ? we can handle that , jax . jax : all right . what happened ? you say he got into a fight ? carly : he tried to explain away the bruise on his face , but you can tell he 's been hit . jax : well , did he come home on his own or was he arrested ? carly : alexis found him and kristina at jake 's and brought him home . jax : kristina ? carly : apparently , michael called kristina and asked her to meet him there , and alexis caught them there and brought them both here . and she let me know that she does n't want michael and kristina hanging out unless they are supervised by an adult -- jax : and that 's when he got angry ? carly : no . well , he was n't happy , but he was fine while they were here . and then afterwards , i started questioning him about what happened . i was checking out his bruise , and i told him i wanted to take him to the hospital . well , that 's when you walked in . he lost control . jax : i 'm glad we did . michael 's out of control . carly : jax -- jax : carly , no . listen to me . if this were any other situation , yes , we could deal with this as parents , but you have a high - risk pregnancy . i ca n't lose you , okay ? it 's too much stress . it 's too much stress for you to handle . so maybe michael would be better off not living here with us , at least for now . carly : how am i supposed to send my son away ?

[ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i told you everything i remember . dante : let me lay it out for you again , okay ? uh ... your gun did , in fact , cause garvey 's wounds . and the bullet from your vest came from garvey 's gun . nathan : we found both guns at the scene pretty much where you 'd expect to find them after you both dropped them and were wounded . dante : your prints were on your gun , garvey 's prints were on his gun . sonny : okay . dante : [ exhales ] the problem is ... [ chuckles ] ... is the shot to your leg does n't match those guns . it matches this third gun that we found in the dumpster . that matches the bullet from your leg . now , the problem is , we do n't know who owns that gun . serial number 's been filed off , there 's no prints . nathan : gun was wiped clean . dante : how do you think that happened ? [ scene_break ] jared : i 'm going to have a cigarette while i wait for the money to post in my account . care to join me ? dr. obrecht : i must decline . cancer is never attractive , and i have a few things to do myself this morning . jared : well , it was a pleasure doing business with you . dr. obrecht : and you . enjoy your money . [ dramatic music plays ] dr. obrecht : this is dr. liesl obrecht . it is imperative that i speak with michael corinthos on an urgent matter . just tell him i 'm on the phone . he 'll know what it 's about . he 's not there ? he canceled all his appointments for this morning ? how strange . thank you . he 's gone to monica , i 'm sure of it . liesl , your aim was true ! [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : michael , wait . what 's going on ? why do you need to talk to hayden ? michael : it 's a matter of the board . i ca n't really discuss it . elizabeth : is this about general hospital ? michael : yes . why ? elizabeth : well , there was ... okay , there was a strange call yesterday from the bank , and it upset hayden , and now you want to talk to her . is she in some kind of trouble ? michael : elizabeth -- elizabeth : i mean , look , i know we have n't been the closest of sisters , but i would still really like to know . michael : she 's due back here shortly , right ? elizabeth : yeah , any minute . michael : okay , maybe you 'll get your answers then . [ scene_break ] monica : cook wo n't return my calls , and she had prepared absolutely nothing for this reception . olivia : well , you do n't have to worry about it -- monica : will you stop , please ? i will not have someone in my house go behind my back and abuse my trust ! ned : monica , that 's enough . olivia : just a second -- monica : you 're right ! you 're right , ned . it is enough . i am done with this conversation . olivia : [ sighs ] i have never seen monica like this . ned : olivia , i said i have your back . olivia : [ sighs ] ned : and i do . olivia : she 's so angry . where are we even going to start ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't know what you 're looking for , dante . i thought i made it clear yesterday that ... last thing i remember was i was ambushed by garvey , and he shot me in the bulletproof vest . dante : [ sighs ] yeah , you 're clear . okay . so you have no way of saying for certainty that it was garvey that shot you in the leg ? sonny : all -- [ exhales ] all i know is i wound up in the bottom of a pit with a bullet in my leg . it was a hell of a fall , and i do n't know . maybe it messed with my memory . dante : i guess so . i mean , look , the problem is , the third gun -- the gun that shot you in the leg -- is untraceable . the serial number has been taken off . there 's no prints . sonny : you mentioned that already ! nathan : which implies whoever shot you was a pro . sonny : if you say so . dante : i just want to find out the truth of what happened the night you got shot . sonny : i keep giving you answers , and you do n't want to hear it ! [ scene_break ] jason : hi , uh , excuse me . i need to speak to commissioner ashford . it 's about the jerome trial . i need to clear something up before i talk to the da . officer : she 's out . she wo n't be back for at least an hour . jason : i can wait . by the way , is detective falconeri and west in ? officer : also out . but they should be back soon . jason : thank you , sir .

[ dramatic music plays ] curtis : this is no good . finn : what ? curtis : it says her number is disconnected . [ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : the wedding should be starting any moment now . assuming it actually takes place . michael is too cool to confront hayden while she 's standing at the altar , but monica might if she 's angry enough . oh , if only i could be there . [ sighs ] but i will see the results . poor finn . who knows how he 'll manage . will he dive right back into drugs ? and , hayden , my dear ... your life as you know it is over . my wedding gift to you .

[ scene_break ] dante : well , there 's no way around it -- sonny was shot with bullets from two different guns . and the bullet in his leg did n't come from either one of these . nathan : well ... possible garvey had a second gun , and we just have n't found it yet . dante : i do n't buy that . sonny would have searched him . there 's no way he would have missed a second gun . officer : detectives , they found something in a dumpster at the demolition site . nathan : what is it ? dante : what do you want to bet that this is the gun that shot my father ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : [ grunts ] dante tell you to question me ? michael : no , dad . come on , you know better than that . dante would never ask that , okay ? and if he did , i would n't agree . i love my brother , but he 's a cop -- i 'm not . so i 'm not obligated to disclose anything you tell me , so ... sonny : nothing to tell . michael : mm . okay , well then , um ... let me speculate then . [ sighs ] so , you 're looking to get out of the business . that made someone nervous . they hired a contractor to shadow you , follow you to your meeting with garvey . sonny : mm - hmm . michael : once he was down and you were distracted , the contractor shot you and threw you in a pit . you were supposed to die , but you did n't . and now you 're looking to retaliate against whoever sent that shooter . how am i doing so far ?

[ dramatic music plays ] sonny : everything okay , mike ? michael : uh ... i have to check in on something . i 'm sorry about the third degree . just ... you know . sonny : i 'll forgive you on one condition . michael : okay , what 's that ? sonny : do n't say anything about your `` theory `` to your mother because i do n't want her to think it 's more than it is . michael : okay . look , dad , whatever you decide to do , just ... please be careful . sonny : i will say one thing . i do n't plan to retaliate against the person who shot me . michael : good . bye , dad . [ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] finn : i found out that hayden was embezzling from the hospital . curtis : what ? finn : she 's being blackmailed by her ex - husband , a guy named jared . curtis : jared ? i think i met that dude . he said he was an old friend . he did n't mention nothing about being an ex . hayden said he had something -- finn : wait , you knew this , and you did n't do anything ? you did n't tell me about it ? ! curtis : man , i 'm her friend . i 'm not a parole officer . but what i did tell her then was that the best way to deal with a blackmailer is to take away his leverage . and that her best option was to tell you the truth . finn : well , i guess hayden did n't agree with you . curtis : so , how 'd y ' all end it ? finn : [ sighs ] i told her i love her ... and we 're having a baby together and if we 're going to make the marriage work , we need to be honest , and that 's ... that 's when hayden walked out .

[ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] monica : well , hayden should be back any minute , and then the three of us can sit down and have a private conversation . michael : before the wedding ? monica : i think we have to . i just hope she has a reasonable explanation . michael : yeah . me too . monica : well , okay then . i 'm going to think positive and go ahead with this reception . although i do n't know how we 're going to feed the guests without a cook . ned : [ clears throat ] olivia : monica , um ... i know i surprised you by firing -- monica : oh , olivia , stop . i have enough problems with the wedding , a reception , a a possible hospital crisis . i do n't need to add you to the list . olivia : problem . she called me a problem . am i a problem ?

[ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] curtis : doctor , do you know anything about the woman you 're about to marry ? finn : apparently not . curtis : hayden is prickly and defensive on a good day . now , it took a lot for her to lower her defenses enough to believe in something real between the two of y ' all . and then she screwed up , and her past came back to bite her . she was wrong , and she made it worse . she knew she could n't fix it . so guess what ? mr. man - who - loves - her , father - of - her - baby -- it 's on you to fix it . finn : i would do anything to make things right between us . curtis : well , instead of being upset that she could n't be honest with you , let her know that she can tell you the truth . that you love her despite her screw- ups , despite her backstory . you know , the way she loves you ? [ dramatic music plays ] curtis : doc , where are you going ? finn : to fix this before it 's too late . curtis : well , hold up . [ scene_break ] alexis : okay , sweetie . what 's going on ? sam : i 'm just starting to remember the way i acted when i was sick , and all the things i did , and the fact that i hid it instead of asking for help . alexis : well , none of that was your fault , and -- and by the way , i 'm not comparing toxoplasmosis to alcoholism . but i hid things , too . so , the way you get through that is you ... tell the truth about it and you move on . sam : okay . i mean , in aa , they tell you you have to make amends , right ? try and make things right ? alexis : yeah . you want to be honest about everything . but really , what do you have to make right ? [ scene_break ] jason : sam told me she met you at the metro court restaurant a few weeks ago . you talked about sonny . julian : yep . i told her that meeting with sonny never happened . jason : you lied . and now sam knows it . julian : i was trying to ease her mind . jason : okay , so why do n't you tell me what really happened when you met with sam ? julian : i mean , she was agitated . she seemed like she was focused on something behind me rather than looking in my eyes . jason : but why did she come to see you specifically ? what did she want ? julian : honestly , sam was worried that sonny was going to drag you back into the business . i told her that , hypothetically -- jason : just spit it out , please . julian : [ sighs ] i told her the only way to keep you out of the business is to get rid of sonny . jason : ah .

[ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you can tell me anything . you know that , right ? sam : yeah . alexis : okay , because i think there 's something that you 're not telling me . you seem to be holding back something . sam : you know -- no . i was just thinking about how crazy i acted when i was sick . just , i feel really horrible about that , mom . alexis : sam , you were on a lot of medication , some heavy - duty medication that 's affecting your moods . so you do n't have anything to apologize for or to be ashamed about . sam : mom , the biggest thing is , i ca n't tell what 's a real memory and what is n't anymore , and i feel like it 's really messing with my head . it 's awful . i mean , i have no idea how jason survived everything that helena did to him . alexis : because he 's tough , like you , and he knew that he had you to come back to , and you both have danny and scout now . sam : yes , mom . yes , you are right . my family comes first . i have to get well , because jason and my kids need me . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm sure sam had nothing to do with what happened to sonny . or did she ? jason : you said she was acting strangely . julian : yeah . she was acting a little odd . uh ... but you should know that ava had an even stranger conversation with sam the day that sonny was shot . [ dramatic music plays ] jason : sam and ava ? julian : yeah . apparently sam came here looking for me , and that she told ava that she blamed sonny for ava 's burns . jason : that fits with what the doctors told us . a few days before sam collapsed , she was hallucinating . julian : but she 's -- she 's doing better , right ? i mean , she 's on the mend . jason : she is . and you can help her . julian : yeah , of course , anything . jason : stay away from her . [ dramatic music plays ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i told you everything i remember . dante : let me lay it out for you again , okay ? uh ... your gun did , in fact , cause garvey 's wounds . and the bullet from your vest came from garvey 's gun . nathan : we found both guns at the scene pretty much where you 'd expect to find them after you both dropped them and were wounded . dante : your prints were on your gun , garvey 's prints were on his gun . sonny : okay . dante : [ exhales ] the problem is ... [ chuckles ] ... is the shot to your leg does n't match those guns . it matches this third gun that we found in the dumpster . that matches the bullet from your leg . now , the problem is , we do n't know who owns that gun . serial number 's been filed off , there 's no prints . nathan : gun was wiped clean . dante : how do you think that happened ?

[ sighs ] last night , i was just able to be with you and be in the moment , as you say . ravi : hey . ashley : hmm ? ravi : i will understand if this just turns out to be a moment in time for us . ashley : well , listen , i do n't know what the future holds , do you ? ravi : no . ashley : but i do know that it was a really incredibly wonderful moment . dina : `` please check in with me when you get to jabot . thanks . `` he 's read the report . he 's noticed my errors ! graham : those errors no longer exist . you have nothing to worry about . dina : well , i -- i better get to the office . graham : should i make dinner plans for us , or ... ? dina : well , i -- i do n't know . i do n't know how long i 'm going to be . i 'll call you later . graham : okay , you can call me any time during the day if you need me . dina : well , i know that . graham : i 'm just trying to be helpful , dina . dina : thank you . i 'm just a little bit frustrated . graham : that 's what i 'm here for , to take care of any and all frustrations you may have . dina : thank you . [ cellphone rings ] hey , gino . i was n't expecting to hear from you . some issues with the facilities department ? what about the brash & sassy ! office ? cane : i have all this , uh , valuable information about brash & sassy ! just taking up all this room in my head . benjamin : why do n't you spill some of that now ? give me a little preview of what i can get if i hire you . cane : well , my primary responsibility was the asian market , which to this day , is still the company 's biggest source of revenue . benjamin : information that i can get from an internet search is not valuable . my interest is getting colder by the second . cane : well , that intel was n't limited to one specific market , was it ? 'cause i was actually involved in every aspect of the company . benjamin : it 's warming up . cane : and so it should . 'cause every success and strength , every weakness and failure , and every plan that victoria had , it 's right here . you see , that knowledge , it makes me the perfect candidate for your consulting position because i do think that you 're proposing , what , acquiring brash & sassy ! ? benjamin : i never said that that was part of the plan . best to keep your presumptions to yourself . cane : you do realize that everything we discuss stays in this room , right ? benjamin : you 've given me a lot to consider . i 'll be in touch . cane : 'cause , you see , to get what you want , you have to know all the skeletons in brash & sassy ! 's closet , and i just so happen to be the man who has the key . benjamin : so far , you 've only given me generalities . for this interview to continue , i want to hear some specific examples . cane : but that 's not gon na happen until you give me a deal . victoria : [ scoffs ] stop . billy : you want me to take a look at it ? victoria : no . i got this , okay ? i 'm not doubting myself . it 's just that after everything that happened with cane , i 'm just being extra cautious . billy : yep . that 's good . i mean , ca n't be too careful with a guy like hochman . look , vick , i 'm just thinking here . victoria : what ? billy : we 're savvy business people , right ? i mean , we can get through the next quarter without taking a loan . let 's just put our noggins together and figure this thing out . we do n't have to do -- jack : hope it 's a good time . victoria : well , hello , jack . what do you want ? jack : well , hard as it is to comprehend , it has been a year since you moved into this building . time to sign a new lease . billy : thank you for the reminder . we 'll call gino . appreciate it . jack : not necessary . i wanted to deliver the documents in person . billy : unbelievable . victoria : you bastard . ashley : what ? what are you thinking about ? ravi : i just ca n't help wondering -- now that we 've , you know ... will what 's happened between us affect things at work ? ashley : why would it ? ravi : i do n't know , shifting personal dynamic , especially in a business environment can cause for a lot of weirdness . take phyllis and jack . ashley : mm . ravi : i 've been observing them for a while . i would never want that kind of weirdness or tension or awkwardness ... ashley : we will never be like those two . i care too much about our friendship to ever let that happen . ravi : me , too . ashley : you 're the one that introduced me to electronic dance music , ravi , and the beauties of the opera . how could i lose you ? ravi : yeah , sharing those experiences with you was pretty incredible . ashley : i think so . and if it had n't been for you when i had to deal with my mother ... hello . you made me realize that my relationship with her is much more than just a black - and - white situation . ravi : i 'm glad you 're seeing dina more than just a person who abandoned you , you know , that she has feelings and needs her family 's support . ashley : i 'm trying . i have to admit it , though . it 's still so strange having her at jabot . it just is ... strange . ravi : ugh . speaking of which ... ashley : oh , no ! do n't say it ! ravi : we should head back . ashley : [ groans ] i know . i do n't want to go . i know you 're right , though . ravi : [ sigh ] i second that . yep . i 'll pack the car . you relax . ashley : thank you . ravi : i will never forget our time here . hilary : never easy seeing her , is it ? lily : [ scoffs ] back from new york already ? hilary : yeah , the commercial shoot was quick , easy . ca n't wait for the world to see it . lily : well , i really hope you hit it big . that way , you can move to new york permanently . hilary : [ laughs ] i will be back there for work soon enough . it 's only a matter of time before i book my next gig . lily : yeah , same here . hilary : oh . lily : yeah , you know my agent barry -- the one who would n't sign you -- he 's sending me out on a ton of auditions , so ... did you every find representation , by the way , or do you need me to leave some more scripts laying around for you ? hilary : i understand how hard it must be for you on top of everything else going on to watch me upstage you , so i 'm just gon na ignore your snark . lily : yeah , please , i 'm fine . hilary : are you ? because , um , a few months ago , your billboard was all over hollywood . you were gon na be the next big thing , and now your whole world is crashing down -- your career , your marriage . lily , i honestly feel bad for you . lily : [ chuckles ] i do n't need your pity , hilary . hilary : okay , well , then , that 's the spirit , you know ? just keep telling yourself that everything will get better . victoria : you 're raising our rent 25 % ? that 's outrageous . we have a deal . jack : one that states that i wo n't evict you , and i am holding by the terms of that agreement . billy : that 's dirty , jack . even for you . jack : well , surely you agree , as the landlord , i 'm well within my rights to raise a rent with a new lease . but if you do n't like it , you 're free to find another location . of course , if you stay , the new rate starts on the first . billy : son of a ... he 's using our financial problems to his advantage . victoria : well , the joke 's on him because we 're not leaving . billy : are you serious ? victoria : yeah , i 'm serious ! look , it 's gon na be expensive , but we do n't have a choice . relocating sends the wrong message to the business community . billy : which is what ? victoria : which is that the rumors are true , that brash & sassy ! is in trouble and we ca n't even afford to pay our rent . billy : a piece of information he will take to the press as soon as he gets a chance . victoria : well , we need a large influx of cash , and sooner rather than later , billy . billy : we 're not gon na talk about alternative strategies , are we ? you 're gon na go with hochman . victoria : [ sighs ] i do n't have a choice . the decision 's already been made . cane : here is my number , so you can call me when you want to make a deal . benjamin : i 'll admit , there 's some serious interest . cane : i think we 'll make a great team . benjamin : i think we just might . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . dina : oh ! oh , i 'm terrible sorry . i got off on the -- billy : dina ! dina : yes ? billy : i , uh -- i heard you were back in town . it 's billy , john 's son . dina : oh , my lord . well , of course it is ! oh , my , you 've grown up to be such a handsome man . billy : aw , thank you very much . must be the clean - ish living and good genes , i guess . dina : you think ? billy : [ laughs ] dina : i ran into your mother not long ago . billy : that must have been a treat for you . dina : well , jill does have a way of getting under one 's skin . billy : does n't she ? dina : oh , boy . billy : she 's on an extended vacation , so you wo n't be running into her anytime soon . dina : ah , what a blessing . best thing i 've heard all day . well , now , if you 'll excuse me , i really must go . billy : are you here to see , uh , jack and ashley ? dina : no , no . i 'm here for work . billy : is that right ? dina : yes . my son has brought me on board . i think he wants to keep me busy . billy : oh , i 'm sure he wants to spend time with you , too . dina : perhaps . billy : well , either way , it 's great to see you . dina : thank you . billy : although , this does make us competitors now , you know , because i 'm here with brash & sassy ! dina : well , i think a little friendly competition is good for the soul . billy : [ chuckles ] dina : and profit margin . billy : i could n't agree more . look , if you have time , i 'd love to show you around a little bit . dina : oh ! all right . lead the way . billy : let 's go . dina : [ chuckles ] ravi : [ sighs ] well , uh , this is where we part ways . ashley : yeah . let 's check in together later . ravi : i 'll be in my office . ashley : okay . jack : hey ! welcome back . how was your getaway ? ashley : good . how are things going here ? jack : i know it 's still early in the day . how about a drink ? ashley : you 're kidding me . i was only gone one night . how much could have happened while i was away ? jack : a lot more than you 'd suspect . cane : hey . lily : hey . cane : um , so , hey , i was gon na call you , but this is good 'cause now i can tell you in person . lily : what is it ? cane : i , uh -- i have my sights set on a new job . it 's not official yet , but if it pans out , i should get a phone call any second with an offer . lily : that 's great . congrats . victoria : after giving it careful consideration , i 've decided to go ahead with the loan . benjamin : well , that 's fantastic ! you know , i think i still have a bottle of champagne from our last meeting . why do n't i go pop the cork to celebrate ? victoria : one more thing , actually . i wrote up an addendum clarifying the timing , amount , and payment of interest . benjamin : okay , let me take a quick peek . yeah , it looks good to me . you grab a pen , i 'll pop the cork . victoria : just one more question . benjamin : yeah . shoot . victoria : what was cane ashby doing in your suite ? benjamin : excuse me ? oh , that ? i mean , i met the guy down at the bar downstairs . he , uh , was looking for a job . gave me his contact info . hey , you want to grab those -- victoria : cane 's employment was terminated for cause . but instead of taking responsibility , he blames me , and he 's been looking for payback ever since . in fact , he 's made it his mission to reveal brash & sassy ! 's secrets to our top competitors . he started with jabot . that did n't work , so clearly he 's moved onto hochman industries . and , apparently , you took the bait . billy : the whole dare line is doing really well with our customers . dina : oh , and what other new products are you developing ? billy : oh , now , now , now . i 'm not gon na give you our secrets so you run upstairs and tell jack . it 's crazy , is n't it ? not only are you back in town , but working for jabot . my father would be floored . dina : well , i 've often wondered what john would think about all of this , considering our history . billy : i think he 'd be all for it . dina : do you honestly think so ? billy : yes . he 's one of the most forgiving men i 've ever met . dina : yes , he is . billy : i do n't know how many times i screwed up and tested his patience for years . but he always welcomed me back into the family , into the company . dina : thank you for those kind words . well , you and victoria have made an incredible place here . although , it is a quite unusual arrangement . billy : yeah , being in the same building as our corporate rivals , it 's unorthodox , but we make it work . dina : how long has brash & sassy ! been here ? billy : well , it 's funny you should ask that . it 's been a year , and as a reward , we got hefty rent increase , aka , jack 's not - so - subtle hint that he wants us to vacate the premises . dina : [ chuckles ] well , that 's quite understandable , is n't it , billy ? you know , i 'm aware of -- how can i put it ? the falling out between you two . billy : your diplomacy is appreciated . dina : well , people in glass houses ... billy : you know , this might sound crazy , but ... dina : what ? billy : i actually really like being in the same building as jabot . it gives me an opportunity to see jack and ashley , even though i 'm persona non grata . the tension between jack and i is too much . i do n't do the family function thing anymore . dina : what about you and ashley ? billy : ashley and i get along great , but we 're not as close as i 'd like . dina : well , dear , that 's something we both have in common . ashley : it 's been a year already ? that went fast . jack : for you , maybe . billy in the elevator , billy prowling in the halls made it endless for me . well , that may not be an issue for too much longer . ashley : why 's that ? jack : because our least favorite tenant may have an issue with the newly increased rent . ashley : how much are you going to raise it ? jack : an amount commensurate with what i would charge any corporation moving in after them -- not that i 'm going to do that . if -- when brash & sassy ! move out , we 're gon na reclaim that space . ashley : well , as much as i would like them to pack up and get out , i would n't send a moving van down there anytime soon . jack : no ? ashley : no , because i believe that billy and victoria are gon na dig their heels in on this one . jack : well , let them . they 're already up to their knees in quicksand . soon they 'll be in over their heads . ashley : uh , by the way , did you ever hear back from mother about that project you gave her ? jack : funny you should ask . she turned in half of her project yesterday . ashley : really ? that was fast . jack : indeed . ashley : is there something wrong ? jack : yeah , you could say that . cane : look , i know you 're bummed out that the dare campaign was suspended . but , um , if this job pans out , at least i can take care of you and the kids financially . lily : yeah . thanks for letting me know . it 'll be a big help . cane : you know , i thought you might be happier . lily : i am happy for you , cane . i am . cane : well , um , are you okay ? is there something bothering you ? do you want to maybe talk about it ? lily : i 'm just still dealing with the fact that my career has gone from hot to not . cane : hey . hey . it 's just a speed bump . lily : well , it does n't help that i saw hilary , and all she could do was brag about well her commercial shoot went , the one that i auditioned for . cane : you did n't tell me that she went out for it . lily : well , we had more important things to discuss . cane : do you think that maybe she went behind your back and , uh , tried to steal it from you , or ... ? lily : it 's not really my part to steal , but , as usual , she did n't play it straight , either . but , you know , in the end , the director chose her , so ... it happens . cane : it does n't make it fair . lily : well , a lot of things have been unfair recently . benjamin : you 've got this all wrong . victoria : really ? have i ? benjamin : i thought you knew me better than this . i mean , i get how much your company means to you , how much you want to protect it . but i 'm not your enemy . i 'm your ally . you understand that , right ? victoria : oh , yes , i understand . benjamin : good . okay . so let 's put this past us , and let 's just sign the contract . what are you doing ? victoria : i 'm calling you out . you had a meeting with cane . you 're entertaining the idea of using him to get to my company . benjamin : all right , this is crazy . it was an innocent meeting ... ... let 's work this out , okay ? let me take you to lunch . victoria : i 'm done here . benjamin : give me a chance to explain . victoria : no , thanks , i 've heard enough of your lies for one day . benjamin : come on , you ca n't walk away like this . victoria : i know what you 're doing -- you 're playing games , you 're trying to manipulate me so you can get a piece of my company . benjamin : not true . ashley : well , mother 's numbers are wrong from the very beginning . that 's why the calculations and projections are off . jack : it does n't seem a little odd to you ? ashley : no , i think it 's a mistake anybody could make . jack : mother 's not anybody . she was a c.e.o . of a multinational conglomerate . she should be able to do that kind of math in her sleep . ashley : yeah , but , you know , she 's probably used to delegating that kind of work to other executives . i 'm sure it 's been a long time since she 's worked on a report like this on her own . jack : is that what you believe , or is that the excuse you 're making so you do n't have to consider the less attractive option ? ashley : do n't you think you 're getting just a little ahead of yourself here ? jack : am i ? look , i was up half the night chewing on this . you know what i gnawed on the longest ? why did graham push mother to sell mergeron ? ashley : okay , what answer did you come up with ? jack : maybe he knows something about her we have n't even considered . ashley : that she had to sell because she 's not capable of running her own company ? jack : look , if she could n't handle this ... billy : and this is the conference room . dina : well , this little detour was an unexpected surprise . billy : oh , for me , too . you 've got the gears in my head spinning . dina : oh , i did , hmm ? billy : yeah . with all my heart , i hope my brother and i can make amends . and ashley does , too . and the fact that , well , he let you back into his life after years of bitterness , it gives me hope . dina : well , do n't give up . it happened to me , albeit rather slowly . billy : it 's worth the wait , is n't it ? dina : absolutely . and if there 's anything i can do , billy , to expedite your reconciliation , i will . billy : well , that would be amazing . thank you . dina : you 're welcome . it was lovely catching up with you . billy : but work 's got to be done , right ? dina : right . billy : well , i hope to see you soon . dina : i 'd like that . billy : well , the door 's open . pop in whenever you like . dina : thank you , billy . lily : i just do n't understand why i ca n't catch a break . it 's like hilary does all these awful things , and she still gets this great opportunity . and me , i 've tried to do everything right . i 've worked hard at brash & sassy ! , i try to be a good wife , a good mother ... cane : you 're all those things and more . lily : [ scoffs ] cane : hey . hey . sweetheart . hey . you 're the best person i know . you know that , right ? lily : well , does n't matter , does it ? because victoria still put my job on hold , and you still cheated on me and lied . cane : [ sighs ] benjamin : i only want to help you , victoria . that 's why i offered you the loan . victoria : i would not take one dime of your money . not now , not ever . you know , people warned me about you . they said you were a pompous ass and you could n't be trusted . i should have listened . i do n't know why i was so stupid , actually . benjamin : you know , stupid would be not taking my help . brash & sassy ! wo n't survive without it . i know you paint a rosy picture about your company , but it 's in serious trouble . victoria : oh , we 'll do fine without you , benjamin . guaranteed . benjamin : oh , please , just stop , all right ? i hate how you 've twisted these things up .

billy : all right , i should n't have said anything . victoria : and yet you did . billy : well , i had a temporary moment of insanity thinking that your father would be a better option than hochman . but it 's all good , right ? because you 've signed the deal and we got the cash flow we needed . victoria : nope . we 're still behind the velvet rope . billy : you did n't sign ? victoria : not yet . billy : at the club , you made it sound like it was gon na be inevitable . so what happened ?

[ clears throat ] ashley : [ laughs ] ravi : that was unexpected . ashley : was it ? ravi : look , i have no regrets about what happened . i do have to ask -- do you think it was a mistake ? ( vo ) dogs have evolved , neil : so , cane sold his car . lily : [ sighs ] yeah . to pay for the kids ' tuition . i think he thought that would help make things better between us . neil : but it didn't . lily : no . one gesture is not gon na erase all of his lies . neil : yeah , he 's got a long way to go before he deserves any kind of forgiveness . lily : we have overcome so much in the past , that i just -- i thought we would be in a better place by now . but this time , it 's different . neil : really ? how so ? lily : because every time i see juliet and her little baby bump , it 's just a visible reminder of how cane cheated on me . and instead of healing , it just breaks my heart more and more , and not just for me , but for the kids , too . neil : you know the kids are very aware of all the tension in the house . lily : yeah , of course . charlie 's furious . he does n't even want to be around him . mattie 's not far behind after cane went off on her yesterday . neil : wait , wait . what ? what happened ? lily : he walked in on her making out with a boy . neil : who 's the unlucky kid that was making moves on mattie ? lily : reed hellstrom . neil : reed hellstrom ? that 's victoria 's son . lily : mm - hmm . ironic , right ? neil : yeah . lily : and mattie 's really into him , but cane does n't want her seeing him because of what happened at brash & sassy ! neil : why am i not surprised ? lily : yeah . neil : so , do you , uh ... do you agree with him ? lily : i do n't know . i 'm on the fence . that 's why i told mattie to , you know , put a little space between them for a bit . neil : i bet that went over well . lily : yeah , she was upset , but she 's still talking to me , so that 's a plus . neil : so then things are good between you two ? lily : yeah . thankfully . but i do hate that there 's a disconnect between cane and his kids . neil : yeah , i know you do . lily : i 'm really , really trying to preserve their relationship , but he 's not making anything better by getting worked up over reed and alienating mattie . neil : the guy just -- he does n't get it , you know ? he ca n't see past his own emotions . it 's terrible . lily : no , it just makes him so irrational . and i 'm hoping one day that he 'll hold himself accountable for his actions . neil : and yours . because having two unhappy parents in a marriage is absolutely not good for the family . and , honey , you -- you have to be able to forgive him , too . lily : i know . i 'm just starting to wonder if ... neil : yeah . come here . juliet : so , fill me in on this new opportunity . cane : it 's a consulting gig with the potential for some growth . juliet : any company would be lucky to have you . cane : [ scoffs ] you see , you are the only person who thinks like that on this planet . juliet : i witnessed your talent firsthand in tokyo . your business talent . i 'm still in awe that you were able to seal with sato san after he walked . cane : well , that was n't talent , that was fear and adrenaline . juliet : that was savvy and skill . cane : credit where credit 's due . you were the one who brought him back . juliet : we were a formidable team , were n't we ? cane : we were , and then , uh , my contributions at brash & sassy ! had to be minimized 'cause victoria wanted to put billy abbott in the spotlight . juliet : you felt screwed over by billy . that 's why you set him up . and with him out of the way , you 'd have a chance to shine . that seems logical to me . cane : well , maybe it 's logical to you , but not everybody else sees it that way , do they ? juliet : sometimes you have to look out for yourself . cane : like you did when you filed that lawsuit against me , right ? juliet : i think the best thing for us to do is to keep moving forward , not back . cane : right . well , unfortunately , sometimes it 's not that easy . juliet : this job is a good opportunity . cane : yes , it is . 'cause once i get my career back on track , hopefully my personal life will follow , and lily will be able to forgive me , and i can get my family back together . juliet : well , until then , if you need someone to talk to , i 've got nothing but time . jack : i was tempted to hire cane myself . benjamin : why did n't you ? jack : personal reasons , and if you decide to bring him on board , under no circumstances is he to know about our alliance . benjamin : because of those personal reasons . jack : exactly . and if you 're smart , you wo n't tell victoria about your new hire . she despises the guy . benjamin : well , i can handle that . trust me , she 'll never find out . jack : okay , back to our collaboration . when will this bridge loan be a done deal ? benjamin : soon . jack : you seem very confident of that . benjamin : well , i thought victoria would make it official last night , but she decided to sleep on it . jack : i 'm sure borrowing that kind of money has her tossing and turning . newmans do n't like to depend on others , especially outsiders . benjamin : i 'm pretty sure it had more to do with billy and victor showing up . jack : what were those two doing together ? benjamin : [ scoffs ] trying to convince her not to do business with me , i assume . jack : do n't allow victoria to mull this over any longer . you close this deal before she changes her mind . victoria : accepting a loan from benjamin is a big decision . it has to be a rational one , not an emotional one . billy : okay , so you did n't want to get in bed with hochman just because you 're pissed off at your father for turning on nick . victoria : business 101 . never sign anything until it 's been vetted . that 's why i asked for more time with the contract . i took a look at it last night . i did n't see anything out of the ordinary , but i just wanted to look at it again and make sure that the terms are acceptable . that 's all . that 's three vettings -- two last night , one this morning . victoria : so what , billy ? billy : you 're being awfully thorough for a short - term loan . victoria : okay , the last time i did n't take a hands - on approach to my own company , i got burned . i 'm never gon na be that rash again . billy : you 're never rash with business , and you never second - guess your instincts . so why are you doing it now ? ashley : hi . ravi : hey . ashley : i 'm sorry if i was giving you mixed messages . i want to tell you that , unequivocally , i have absolutely no regrets . i mean , come on . how could i ? ravi : i am so relieved to hear you say that . ashley : oh , come here . come on . coming here was a fantastic idea . ravi : yeah , it 's so peaceful , relaxing . ashley : it 's so far away from all those nosy people that are so interested in my love life . ravi : everyone does seem to have an opinion about us . ashley : i know . ravi : what we are , what we should or should n't be . ashley : exactly . ravi : i know you have an image to maintain . ashley : mm . you know , frankly , ravi , this probably would have happened a lot sooner if i was n't so stupid and so concerned about that image . ravi : it was worth the wait . but i got to be honest -- ashley : hmm ? ravi : i wanted this to happen for a long time . ashley : so did i . ravi : you did ? ashley : yes ! i just , you know , was n't able to admit it to myself before now . i think -- i think i 've been so afraid of the consequences , you know , of us being together and what people would think . [ sighs ] last night , i was just able to be with you and be in the moment , as you say . ravi : hey . ashley : hmm ? ravi : i will understand if this just turns out to be a moment in time for us . ashley : well , listen , i do n't know what the future holds , do you ? ravi : no . ashley : but i do know that it was a really incredibly wonderful moment . dina : `` please check in with me when you get to jabot . thanks . `` he 's read the report . he 's noticed my errors ! graham : those errors no longer exist . you have nothing to worry about . dina : well , i -- i better get to the office . graham : should i make dinner plans for us , or ... ? dina : well , i -- i do n't know . i do n't know how long i 'm going to be . i 'll call you later . graham : okay , you can call me any time during the day if you need me . dina : well , i know that . graham : i 'm just trying to be helpful , dina . dina : thank you . i 'm just a little bit frustrated . graham : that 's what i 'm here for , to take care of any and all frustrations you may have . dina : thank you . [ cellphone rings ] hey , gino . i was n't expecting to hear from you . some issues with the facilities department ? what about the brash & sassy ! office ? cane : i have all this , uh , valuable information about brash & sassy ! just taking up all this room in my head . benjamin : why do n't you spill some of that now ? give me a little preview of what i can get if i hire you . cane : well , my primary responsibility was the asian market , which to this day , is still the company 's biggest source of revenue . benjamin : information that i can get from an internet search is not valuable . my interest is getting colder by the second . cane : well , that intel was n't limited to one specific market , was it ? 'cause i was actually involved in every aspect of the company . benjamin : it 's warming up . cane : and so it should . 'cause every success and strength , every weakness and failure , and every plan that victoria had , it 's right here . you see , that knowledge , it makes me the perfect candidate for your consulting position because i do think that you 're proposing , what , acquiring brash & sassy ! ? benjamin : i never said that that was part of the plan . best to keep your presumptions to yourself . cane : you do realize that everything we discuss stays in this room , right ? benjamin : you 've given me a lot to consider . i 'll be in touch . cane : 'cause , you see , to get what you want , you have to know all the skeletons in brash & sassy ! 's closet , and i just so happen to be the man who has the key . benjamin : so far , you 've only given me generalities . for this interview to continue , i want to hear some specific examples . cane : but that 's not gon na happen until you give me a deal . victoria : [ scoffs ] stop . billy : you want me to take a look at it ? victoria : no . i got this , okay ? i 'm not doubting myself . it 's just that after everything that happened with cane , i 'm just being extra cautious . billy : yep . that 's good . i mean , ca n't be too careful with a guy like hochman . look , vick , i 'm just thinking here . victoria : what ? billy : we 're savvy business people , right ? i mean , we can get through the next quarter without taking a loan . let 's just put our noggins together and figure this thing out . we do n't have to do -- jack : hope it 's a good time . victoria : well , hello , jack . what do you want ? jack : well , hard as it is to comprehend , it has been a year since you moved into this building . time to sign a new lease . billy : thank you for the reminder . we 'll call gino . appreciate it . jack : not necessary . i wanted to deliver the documents in person . billy : unbelievable . victoria : you bastard . ashley : what ? what are you thinking about ? ravi : i just ca n't help wondering -- now that we 've , you know ... will what 's happened between us affect things at work ? ashley : why would it ? ravi : i do n't know , shifting personal dynamic , especially in a business environment can cause for a lot of weirdness . take phyllis and jack . ashley : mm . ravi : i 've been observing them for a while . i would never want that kind of weirdness or tension or awkwardness ... ashley : we will never be like those two . i care too much about our friendship to ever let that happen . ravi : me , too . ashley : you 're the one that introduced me to electronic dance music , ravi , and the beauties of the opera . how could i lose you ? ravi : yeah , sharing those experiences with you was pretty incredible . ashley : i think so . and if it had n't been for you when i had to deal with my mother ... hello . you made me realize that my relationship with her is much more than just a black - and - white situation . ravi : i 'm glad you 're seeing dina more than just a person who abandoned you , you know , that she has feelings and needs her family 's support . ashley : i 'm trying . i have to admit it , though . it 's still so strange having her at jabot . it just is ... strange . ravi : ugh . speaking of which ... ashley : oh , no ! do n't say it ! ravi : we should head back . ashley : [ groans ] i know . i do n't want to go . i know you 're right , though . ravi : [ sigh ] i second that . yep . i 'll pack the car . you relax . ashley : thank you . ravi : i will never forget our time here . hilary : never easy seeing her , is it ? lily : [ scoffs ] back from new york already ? hilary : yeah , the commercial shoot was quick , easy . ca n't wait for the world to see it . lily : well , i really hope you hit it big . that way , you can move to new york permanently . hilary : [ laughs ] i will be back there for work soon enough . it 's only a matter of time before i book my next gig . lily : yeah , same here . hilary : oh . lily : yeah , you know my agent barry -- the one who would n't sign you -- he 's sending me out on a ton of auditions , so ... did you every find representation , by the way , or do you need me to leave some more scripts laying around for you ? hilary : i understand how hard it must be for you on top of everything else going on to watch me upstage you , so i 'm just gon na ignore your snark . lily : yeah , please , i 'm fine . hilary : are you ? because , um , a few months ago , your billboard was all over hollywood . you were gon na be the next big thing , and now your whole world is crashing down -- your career , your marriage . lily , i honestly feel bad for you . lily : [ chuckles ] i do n't need your pity , hilary . hilary : okay , well , then , that 's the spirit , you know ? just keep telling yourself that everything will get better . victoria : you 're raising our rent 25 % ? that 's outrageous . we have a deal . jack : one that states that i wo n't evict you , and i am holding by the terms of that agreement . billy : that 's dirty , jack . even for you . jack : well , surely you agree , as the landlord , i 'm well within my rights to raise a rent with a new lease . but if you do n't like it , you 're free to find another location . of course , if you stay , the new rate starts on the first . billy : son of a ... he 's using our financial problems to his advantage . victoria : well , the joke 's on him because we 're not leaving . billy : are you serious ? victoria : yeah , i 'm serious ! look , it 's gon na be expensive , but we do n't have a choice . relocating sends the wrong message to the business community . billy : which is what ? victoria : which is that the rumors are true , that brash & sassy ! is in trouble and we ca n't even afford to pay our rent . billy : a piece of information he will take to the press as soon as he gets a chance . victoria : well , we need a large influx of cash , and sooner rather than later , billy . billy : we 're not gon na talk about alternative strategies , are we ? you 're gon na go with hochman . victoria : [ sighs ] i do n't have a choice . the decision 's already been made . cane : here is my number , so you can call me when you want to make a deal . benjamin : i 'll admit , there 's some serious interest . cane : i think we 'll make a great team . benjamin : i think we just might . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . dina : oh ! oh , i 'm terrible sorry . i got off on the -- billy : dina ! dina : yes ? billy : i , uh -- i heard you were back in town . it 's billy , john 's son . dina : oh , my lord . well , of course it is ! oh , my , you 've grown up to be such a handsome man . billy : aw , thank you very much . must be the clean - ish living and good genes , i guess . dina : you think ? billy : [ laughs ] dina : i ran into your mother not long ago . billy : that must have been a treat for you . dina : well , jill does have a way of getting under one 's skin . billy : does n't she ? dina : oh , boy . billy : she 's on an extended vacation , so you wo n't be running into her anytime soon . dina : ah , what a blessing . best thing i 've heard all day . well , now , if you 'll excuse me , i really must go . billy : are you here to see , uh , jack and ashley ? dina : no , no . i 'm here for work . billy : is that right ? dina : yes . my son has brought me on board . i think he wants to keep me busy . billy : oh , i 'm sure he wants to spend time with you , too . dina : perhaps . billy : well , either way , it 's great to see you . dina : thank you . billy : although , this does make us competitors now , you know , because i 'm here with brash & sassy ! dina : well , i think a little friendly competition is good for the soul . billy : [ chuckles ] dina : and profit margin . billy : i could n't agree more . look , if you have time , i 'd love to show you around a little bit . dina : oh ! all right . lead the way . billy : let 's go . dina : [ chuckles ] ravi : [ sighs ] well , uh , this is where we part ways . ashley : yeah . let 's check in together later . ravi : i 'll be in my office . ashley : okay . jack : hey ! welcome back . how was your getaway ? ashley : good . how are things going here ? jack : i know it 's still early in the day . how about a drink ? ashley : you 're kidding me . i was only gone one night . how much could have happened while i was away ? jack : a lot more than you 'd suspect . cane : hey . lily : hey . cane : um , so , hey , i was gon na call you , but this is good 'cause now i can tell you in person . lily : what is it ? cane : i , uh -- i have my sights set on a new job . it 's not official yet , but if it pans out , i should get a phone call any second with an offer . lily : that 's great . congrats . victoria : after giving it careful consideration , i 've decided to go ahead with the loan . benjamin : well , that 's fantastic ! you know , i think i still have a bottle of champagne from our last meeting . why do n't i go pop the cork to celebrate ? victoria : one more thing , actually . i wrote up an addendum clarifying the timing , amount , and payment of interest . benjamin : okay , let me take a quick peek . yeah , it looks good to me . you grab a pen , i 'll pop the cork . victoria : just one more question . benjamin : yeah . shoot . victoria : what was cane ashby doing in your suite ? benjamin : excuse me ? oh , that ? i mean , i met the guy down at the bar downstairs . he , uh , was looking for a job . gave me his contact info . hey , you want to grab those -- victoria : cane 's employment was terminated for cause . but instead of taking responsibility , he blames me , and he 's been looking for payback ever since . in fact , he 's made it his mission to reveal brash & sassy ! 's secrets to our top competitors . he started with jabot . that did n't work , so clearly he 's moved onto hochman industries . and , apparently , you took the bait . billy : the whole dare line is doing really well with our customers . dina : oh , and what other new products are you developing ? billy : oh , now , now , now . i 'm not gon na give you our secrets so you run upstairs and tell jack . it 's crazy , is n't it ? not only are you back in town , but working for jabot . my father would be floored . dina : well , i 've often wondered what john would think about all of this , considering our history . billy : i think he 'd be all for it . dina : do you honestly think so ? billy : yes . he 's one of the most forgiving men i 've ever met . dina : yes , he is . billy : i do n't know how many times i screwed up and tested his patience for years . but he always welcomed me back into the family , into the company . dina : thank you for those kind words . well , you and victoria have made an incredible place here . although , it is a quite unusual arrangement . billy : yeah , being in the same building as our corporate rivals , it 's unorthodox , but we make it work . dina : how long has brash & sassy ! been here ? billy : well , it 's funny you should ask that . it 's been a year , and as a reward , we got hefty rent increase , aka , jack 's not - so - subtle hint that he wants us to vacate the premises . dina : [ chuckles ] well , that 's quite understandable , is n't it , billy ? you know , i 'm aware of -- how can i put it ? the falling out between you two . billy : your diplomacy is appreciated . dina : well , people in glass houses ... billy : you know , this might sound crazy , but ... dina : what ? billy : i actually really like being in the same building as jabot . it gives me an opportunity to see jack and ashley , even though i 'm persona non grata . the tension between jack and i is too much . i do n't do the family function thing anymore . dina : what about you and ashley ? billy : ashley and i get along great , but we 're not as close as i 'd like . dina : well , dear , that 's something we both have in common . ashley : it 's been a year already ? that went fast . jack : for you , maybe . billy in the elevator , billy prowling in the halls made it endless for me . well , that may not be an issue for too much longer . ashley : why 's that ? jack : because our least favorite tenant may have an issue with the newly increased rent . ashley : how much are you going to raise it ? jack : an amount commensurate with what i would charge any corporation moving in after them -- not that i 'm going to do that . if -- when brash & sassy ! move out , we 're gon na reclaim that space . ashley : well , as much as i would like them to pack up and get out , i would n't send a moving van down there anytime soon . jack : no ? ashley : no , because i believe that billy and victoria are gon na dig their heels in on this one . jack : well , let them . they 're already up to their knees in quicksand . soon they 'll be in over their heads . ashley : uh , by the way , did you ever hear back from mother about that project you gave her ? jack : funny you should ask . she turned in half of her project yesterday . ashley : really ? that was fast . jack : indeed . ashley : is there something wrong ? jack : yeah , you could say that . cane : look , i know you 're bummed out that the dare campaign was suspended . but , um , if this job pans out , at least i can take care of you and the kids financially . lily : yeah . thanks for letting me know . it 'll be a big help . cane : you know , i thought you might be happier . lily : i am happy for you , cane . i am . cane : well , um , are you okay ?

[ scene_break ] julian : i got an update from your friend , paul hornsby . they found carlos . he 's in lockup at the pcpd . ava : carlos ? i never thought he 'd let himself get caught . julian : hm , i guess his luck ran out . and when it did , so did mine . i ordered carlos to kill duke lavery . that 's conspiracy to commit murder . ava : what about sonny 's shooting ? julian : no , that had nothing to do with me . that was all carlos . honestly , though , i does n't even matter , because carlos has enough on me to put me away for so long i may never enjoy another spring day like this ever again . ava : well , we know he turned on me , as evidence by the fact that he shot me . but after everything you 've done for him , do you think that he would turn on you ? julian : hornsby 's convinced he will . [ scene_break ] jordan : we need to talk . alone . paul : as the da , i should be present for questioning . jordan : why ? anna 's not under arrest . i 'm just talking to my friend . start from the beginning . you said that you committed a crime , but you could n't say what . anna : i shot carlos rivera . jordan : walk me through it . anna : it was the afternoon of may 15th of last year , and i went to sabrina , and i asked her to call carlos . and he told her that he was on the pier -- pier 54 -- waiting for a boat to take him out of the country . so i went there to intercept him , which i did . jordan : and what happened ? anna : i arrested him for duke 's murder . uh , he started out denying it , and then he said that he would plead self - defense and that there would be enough room for reasonable doubt , that he would n't be convicted . i know duke was n't an innocent . he put a hit out on you , which he called off , but -- jordan : because of you . anna : well , because our love for each other was stronger than his loyalty to the mob . we should have had a future together . but carlos took that away that night . and he was right . he would have gone free . that just seems so wrong , you know ? unfair . a perversion of justice . i could n't stand for that . jordan . i shot carlos four times in the chest point - blank . jordan : you said you arrested him . was he -- anna : no , he was n't -- he was not handcuffed , but he was unarmed . there 's no question that it was attempted murder , and that was exactly what carlos wanted . he intended for that . jordan : i -- i 'm sorry -- i do n't follow . anna : it was a setup . the whole thing was just a setup . he was wearing , like , a bulletproof vest . he had blood capsules , and he goaded me into shooting him . and i played right into his hand . jordan : i knew something was wrong . i knew it . i had your back . and i knew that you were in pain . i just -- i did n't have any idea how severe it was . anna : i understand having carlos in custody means that i 'm gon na face criminal charges . and i know -- i know i 'll be arrested . and the only reason that i 'm willing to accept that is because carlos will be facing charges , too . and so will julian because he ordered the hit . and i think that when julian is convicted , and he goes down , that 's when i 'm gon na feel that i have done what i wanted to do for duke . jordan : and what is paul 's connection to all of this ? anna : okay , well , paul -- the last thing he wanted was for carlos to come back here alive . he thought sonny would take care of that . and then the truth , you know , would just go away . jordan : okay , so what exactly does carlos know about paul ?

martine : hard to believe , is n't it , sir ? roman : that stefano dimera is dead ? well , part of me always thought it was a matter of time before somebody killed that bastard , but another part of me thought maybe he was just too damn mean to die . so , officer , are you my shadow today ? martine : yes , commissioner , i 'm martine kent , and i just wan na say that i 'm honored that i 've been assigned to work with you on this case . roman : well , thank you very much . i appreciate that . i 'm not gon na be heading up this investigation for long . governor 's sending his own man down to take over the operation . martine : why is that , sir ? roman : well , because it 's a very high profile case , and unfortunately i am closely connected to most of our current suspects . martine : i did n't know that . roman : yeah , so what that means is , before the governor 's man comes down here , you and i got ta cross our t 's and dot our i 's , okay ? i want you with me every step of the way . i do n't want there to be any doubt that this investigation was anything but impartial and completely by the book . martine : where do we start ? roman : our former mayor , abe carver .

[ scene_break ] johnny : i thought i told you to stay away from my father . ric : you made a very compelling argument . the armed thugs were a nice touch . however , your desire to see anthony locked up does not outweigh his right to an attorney . claudia : my father is an evil bastard who deserves to burn in hell for everything that he has done . ric : i understand . mr. zacchara was a very , very sick man . claudia : there 's no past tense about it . anthony zacchara is a twisted , sadistic freak . and if you get him released -- you wo n't live to regret it . ric : miss zacchara , i realize you 've been gone for some time and this must come as quite a shock . but i can assure you your father is not responsible for his previous actions . claudia : how much is my father paying you ? ric : anthony was diagnosed with a mental illness and he has since undergone treatment . i have a whole team of doctors who can assure me that your father is a changed man . johnny : i do n't care how many doctors you have , ric , or papers you file . my father stays locked up . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm not sure if you 're trying to seek justice or revenge . i do n't think you know either . sonny , if you want to help michael , go talk to his doctors , research other treatment options , sit down with carly and figure out what the best way is to help your son . sonny : okay . i know that you 're trying to help , but this is something that i -- that i have to do on my own . kate : why ? sonny : what -- what do you mean , why ? kate : what possible good can come from avenging michael ? it 's not going to change what happened . it 's certainly not going to heal your son . sonny : but it will send a clear message to my enemies not to come after anybody that i care about again . kate : sonny , what happened was a terrible accident . sonny : you -- you were here , kate ! my son was here . they may not have been aiming at my son , but they -- they did it anyway . i ca n't -- i ca n't let that go . kate : so you 're just going to make the situation worse for everyone around you . [ scene_break ] jax : so how 's he doing ? patrick : there 's no change . carly : how can you say that ? michael 's eyes are open . patrick : it was an involuntary reflex . michael 's not responding to light or painful stimuli . his eyes are open , but he 's still not conscious . jax : so you 're saying he 's still in a coma . patrick : i wish i had better news , but michael 's prognosis has n't changed . carly : no ! he opened his eyes . he 's trying to come back to us . patrick : i know this is difficult to understand -- carly : you know what , you do n't know my son . you do n't know my son . he is getting better . patrick : you can get a second opinion , but any doctor that examines michael is going to tell you the same thing . excuse me . carly : i want a specialist . i want someone in here who is familiar with michael 's injuries and who is committed to helping him make progress . that 's what i want . jax : it 's -- it 's not progress , carly . carly : his eyes are open . jax : i know , but you heard dr. drake . he said that it was a reflex . carly : it 's a sign . michael is a fighter . and we can not give up on him , jax .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : i have no reason to believe that dr. devlin is involved in anything criminal other than providing me with a drug that 's technically illegal in this country . jason : he charged you $ 10 million . nikolas : i know . i know , but since i 've been -- since i 've been taking it , i have n't had one episode of rage or a blackout or anything . and i do n't -- i do n't see emily as much as i -- as much as i would like to , but i still can see her . and to me , that 's worth any amount of money . jason : this guy 's preying on your desperation to make a profit . nikolas : what do you want me to do ? is it -- is it wrong for me to want to take this drug ? is it wrong for me to pay any amount of money to keep seeing emily ? jason : i do n't know . i do n't . i mean , i know how much you loves her . if i could take a pill and see emily again , i 'm not sure i would turn it down either . nikolas : all right . well , thanks .

's office . there is enough to charge kristen for sexual assault and drugging eric . hope : fantastic . marlena : and because she 's a flight risk , they will not let her out on bail . hope : even better . roman : the d.a . says more charges could be filed later . hope : is abe getting daniel 's statement ? roman : as we speak . marlena : so when can i see her ? just five minutes alone with kristen , that 's all . maybe two , maybe even one . hope : it 's not going to happen . marlena : she ruined my son 's life . she destroyed brady to the point that he is drinking and using again . and she also was the reason that he attacked his father . roman : doc . marlena : and that is why john is in a coma . hope : you and i both know you 're not going to be left alone in a room with kristen . marlena , she 'll pay . we 'll nail her . but please , you 've got to back off . let us do this the right way . roman : any word on brady ? hope : no . no one seems to be able to get in touch with him . help us find brady , marlena . marlena : well , maybe he 's at the hospital . he 's usually there , near john . i 'll check . i want kristen 's life destroyed ... completely destroyed . daniel : uh , so how 's the x - rays , doc , hmm ? doc , how ... jennifer : [ sighs ] oh , my god , what did she do to you ? daniel : nothing . i 'm fine , yeah . jennifer : are you , honestly ? daniel : yeah . um ... i -- so how 's brady doing ? jennifer : uh , nobody knows because nobody seems to know where he is . brady : i did n't expect to see you . theresa : no , yeah , same here . i was just -- i was getting some air and , um ... are you okay ? brady : mm - hmm , yeah . theresa : you just look a little tense . brady : [ sighs ] i was -- i was sleeping , and i had a really bad dream . and it was really just the weirdest thing , and ... i woke up tense and worried , and ... it 's not your problem . i , um , i 'm sorry , uh , the annulment papers -- i have n't got them to the court yet . theresa : no , no , it 's ... brady : i told you i would do it , and i have n't done it . theresa : it 's no problem . we can stay married one more day . i mean , i know you have a lot to think about lately , so ... brady : i 've been spending most of my time by my dad 's bed or at the office , you know . it 's good to wo -- keep busy . i 've been working , trying not to think about ... everything . 'cause when i feel a little too much , i ... in the past i used to try to push my feelings down with not too smart of a way . theresa : i gotcha . brady , look , that 's in the past . brady : yeah , i just need to focus on now and concentrate on today . i 'll see you . eric : sami , the cardinal found the evidence in the testimony made my case . i did n't break my vows of my own free will . i was given the chance to return to the priesthood . sami : you were ? then why did n't you ? i mean , my god , eric , it 's what you wanted more than anything . you fought so hard . eric : yes , but i decided . to be a priest requires that i live in god 's grace , that i live the life that god intended me to . the devotion in my heart , i did n't feel it anymore . nicole : what he 's trying to say , sami , is the vatican said he could be a priest again , but that 's not going to happen . he 's not going to be a priest because he hates my guts . sami : what ? nicole : he has a slew of reasons why he hates me . and it 's that hatred that makes him feel unworthy . sami : so it is your fault . after all of this , nicole , it is your fault that he 's not gon na be a priest again . eric : okay , sami , stop it . what we need to concentrate on is that kristen is in custody now . frankly , i 'm worried about mom and brady . okay ? yes , i want my name to be cleared , and , yes , i want kristen punished for what she did . but this is not going to solve anything . nicole : you can kiss that idea good - bye . as of right now , sami 's husband is making sure that kristen walks . sami : no , he is not . nicole : oh , come on . we both know who ej 's going to choose . he 's daddy 's boy . you just love to trash - talk me any chance you could get . but you 're the one who 's married to the man who kept kristen 's dirty secret . that speaks volumes . all you wanted was the dimera power and the dimera money and , of course , to be in ej 's bed . sami : okay , for your information -- nicole : for your information , you better hope that your hubby fails , because if he helps kristen go free , trust me , you are dead . kristen : you know , ej , i 've had some little butterflies keeping tabs on you . ej : have you ? kristen : yeah . my feelings were hurt when you trashed my managerial skills . but i figured that you were just using it as incentive for sami in the workplace and probably the bedroom , so i will overlook it . ej : overlook it ? kristen : mm - hmm . ej : overlook it . you 're blind to everything since seducing that priest , ruining marlena 's life , and marrying brady . you just about drove countess wilhelmina into the ground . kristen : are you kidding me ? you 're kidding me , right ? i mean , you certainly made the most out of the mistakes i did make , but i did n't end up in jail , did i ? uh - uh . did not . oh , and sami and kate , they ended up with the company , but that was n't my doing , was it ? no , that was your doing , was n't it , ej ? ej : look , why do n't we just refrain from the critique ? then we can concentrate on our own affairs . to put it another way , i do not need your help with samantha . kristen : your call . okay ? your call . ej : i just came over here to make sure that we are very clear about one thing -- kristen : oh , i know , `` we 're finished , we 're done . `` yeah , yeah , yeah . stop it . come on , we 're family . ej : kristen ... samantha and my children , they are my family , and i will do anything to keep them . good - bye . kristen : do i really have to spell this out for you ? there 's no middle ground . you ca n't remain neutral . do you get that ? ej : i have no intention of remaining neutral . i 'm going to help eric and the district attorney and anybody else who wants my help put you away . kristen : you might want to rethink that . ej : why ? kristen : because i 'm coming to you in a time of great need . you betray me ... there 's going to be a very steep price to pay . ej : really ? what 's that ? kristen : i 'll destroy you . ej : [ chuckles ] ej : well , that was certainly to the point , if a little melodramatic . my goodness , i 'm being threatened by somebody who 's handcuffed to a chair . kristen : please do n't do this , ej . do n't underestimate me . you know better than anybody that people who do that end up extremely unhappy . ej : i did not underestimate you , kristen . i just came to say good - bye . kristen : you think your life is a mess now ? i 'm going to show you what hell is like . hope : all right , you 've had enough time to consult . i have questions -- a lot of them . ej : you can ask away without me . hope : why is that ? ej : because i 'm refusing to represent kristen . daniel : i 'm just worried about brady . i mean , he was a mess before . i mean , what 's it going to do to him when he sees kristen now ? look , at least we got a case against -- [ exhales ] jennifer : daniel , you are in pain . daniel : no , no , i 'm not . it 's not that bad . no , i just -- look , i got a few stitches over here , and i got some bruised ribs over on this side . it 's no biggie at all . both : yeah . daniel : i just , you know , and i just need to reach parker and melanie and probably my mom . jennifer : oh , let me do that for you . i can call them . daniel : no , no , i 'd rather talk to my children myself . you know , my mom , she 's gon na want to hear from me . jennifer : yeah , i know . right , yeah . daniel : look , jenn , it 's probably going to be a while before i hear anything back from the radiologist , and ... you know , i 'm -- they 're gon na want to do some more blood work . jennifer : i just want to stay . i mean , you almost died . i could 've lost you forever , so i just -- all i want is to be with you . i just want to take you home , and i want to take care of you . please let me do that for you . eric : all right , would you just listen to me ? no more threats , no more blame , and i want you to focus . kristen 's in custody , thanks to daniel . and he looked like hell just to bring her in . nicole : well , that 's the kind of man he is . he 's good . he 's selfless , he 's -- sami : oh , for god 's sake , you lied to him too . you lie to everyone . all you do is lie . [ cell phone rings ] nicole : and all you do is cover for ej 's sins . eric : all right , just stop ! sami : hello ? yeah . no , no , i can -- oh , my god , really ? all right , yes , no . i 'll be home in a minute . all right , thank you . eric : are the children acting uncontrollably again ? sami : how uncharitable of you . nicole : wait , wait . so sami blames me for everything . you do too , right ? anne : you are such a liar . theresa : no , anne , look , seriously , i was just about to head back to work . anne : oh , work , schmork . i stood right over there , and i saw you talking to brady . theresa : oh . yeah , well , i just needed -- anne : well , so obviously things are n't over . theresa : no , no , no , they 're definitely over . i mean , things with brady , they 're history , and , you know , i mean , with everything that 's happened , that 's probably a good thing . marlena : brady , brady . wait , wait , wait . i 've been trying to reach you , been looking everywhere for you . brady : what 's wrong ? is it -- is it dad ? marlena : no , no . brady : what 's going on with him ? marlena : john -- there 's no change . brady : okay , what then ? what 's so important ? marlena : [ sighs ] brady : marlena , you 're scaring me . you - you 're shaking . what is going on ? daniel : jenn , you know i love you . and i appreciate that you want to make sure that i 'm all right , but it does n't change anything . jennifer : because of what i said ? daniel : because of what you think of me . jennifer : no ! daniel : yes . abe thinks i should be hero of the month for what i did , but we both know it does n't matter what i do , you will always think that i am someone who is incap -- larry : we got the x - ray results . so ... mind if i interrupt ? daniel : no , it 's okay , larry . i think you should go , jenn . jennifer : okay . larry : let me check that spot on your scalp again . any more bleeding ? daniel : no , no , no , no , it 's just superficial . eric : i 'm gon na go check on daniel . maybe i can locate brady . nicole : hey , come on . it 's a simple question . eric : nicole , what does it matter what i think ? nicole : well , you 're thinking something , right ? eric : yeah , well -- nicole : wait , hey , come -- tell me . eric : i wish we would 've caught kristen months ago . i still would 've cared about you and loved you . sami : [ sighs ] who am i kidding ? of course those kids know something 's wrong . [ door opens ] kristen : well , i guess i 'm going to need that phone call after all . hope : all right . oh , i do n't have my key . do n't worry , you 'll get your call . kristen : hey , hope ? have you spoken to brady ? and does he know if i 'm here ? brady : you 're as white as a sheet . do you want to come inside ? do you want some water ? marlena : no , no , no , no , it 's just ... [ exhales ] there 's just no easy way to tell you this . it 's kristen ... she 's back . | everyone at the police station was shocked to see kristen back in salem . daniel told everybody how kristen kidnapped him . anne told theresa that she should n't have signed the annulment papers . theresa claimed that she as ready to move on with her life . sami called brady to tell him about kristen , but he left his phone at the mansion . roman was shocked to hear that kristen was back . nicole said that it 's sami 's fault if kristen gets off . ej wanted to talk to kristen about what she did . nicole and sami started arguing over kristen and ej . | <s>[INST] sami : just stop it . hope : sami , what kind of incident ? sami : no , just leave me -- hope : oh , my god . sami : no , just leave me -- [ gasps ] theresa : stay away from him . he hates you . john : just back off . theresa : [ panting ] [ thud ] anne : what did you do , theresa ? i mean , checking up on sleeping beauty in there , seriously ? talk about a waste of time . theresa : i was just paying my respects , that 's all . anne : to a corpse ? well , or to a corpse waiting to happen , anyway . trust me , john black , he 's not waking up any time soon . theresa : well , he ca n't wake up , ever . for brady 's sake . brady : [ panting ] something 's wrong . ej : kristen . marlena : you disgusting piece of crap . sami : no , no , mom ! nicole : unbelievable . jennifer : daniel . kristen : wow , i did n't realize i 'd attract such a crowd . it 's me . brady : how long ago did the nurse check on him ? okay . all right , thank you . god . wake up . i got ta get -- i got ta get out of here . got ta do something . kristen : i 'm so flattered that you 'd all show up for my homecoming . i do n't think i ever fully realized just how much i meant to you all . nicole : you bitch .

sami : damn right , it ca n't be brady . hope : it 's not brady she wants to see . marlena : well , then who ? hope : who do you think ? her lawyer . sami : oh . hope : ej ? sami : well ? blood first , right , ej ? there you stand , a true dimera . your sister needs you . you should go to her . roman : hope . is it true , kristen 's back ? hope : it 's true . daniel brought her in . she 's in cuffs in my office . ej : i need to speak to my sister . hope : follow me . sami : what ? you should get in there . nicole : you could 've stopped him , sami . sami : what ? nicole : that son of a bitch husband of yours helps her , i will hold you responsible . you got it ? you ! kristen : hey , eej , long time no see . ej : yeah . hope : okay , let 's get started . first of all , i want a complete -- ej : i would like a moment to confer with my client , please . alone . kristen : [ sighs ] ej : oh , for pity 's sake , hope , is that really necessary ? hope : there are at least a dozen cops in this building . try not to give them a reason to shoot you . ej : will you have your officers stand -- hope : phillips , stay by the door . if her attorney tries to pass anything to her , arrest him . use whatever force necessary . kristen : wow , that hope . she does n't even try to be friendly , does she ? so -- well , you 're probably wondering why i did it . well , the only thing i can tell you is that it seemed like a good idea at the time , i mean , in st. louis . grab the doctor , so i can get to brady . i do n't have to be anywhere near salem . but that doctor 's a lot tougher than he looks . did you know that about him ? big crowd out there . no brady , though . i 'm sure everybody 's tweeting up a storm . it 's weird , is n't it ? he 's not there . oh , are you going to say anything ? sami : okay , listen , bitch -- nicole : you 're no better than he is . sami : you know what , ej 's not really gon na ... never mind . marlena : not going to what ? roman : sami , what 's going on ? nicole : yeah , just say it . sami : look , ej and i have been -- we should focus on what 's really important here , that daniel dragged that piece of trash in here , and now she 's going to pay , and believe me , revenge is sweet . jennifer : and you know all about revenge , do n't you , sami ? i 'm gon na go check on daniel . nicole : if ej helps his sister , in any way , that 's it , sami . sami : what ? what ? why do n't you just realize that we are all on the same side here and get out of my face for one second , nicole ? nicole : you 'll be lucky if you even have a face left . roman : all right , hey , hey , hey , hey . let 's take a big , deep breath here . eric : can we just concentrate of kristen ? we got ta make sure she ca n't get bailed out or walk out on some bogus technicality . dad , you 're going to put a cop on her to guard her , right ? sami : oh , yeah , like that 'll help . the dimeras have plenty of cops on their payroll . roman : sami . sami : well , it 's true , daddy , and i think we should face facts . do n't you ? i should be the one watching her . anyone else with me ? nicole : damn right ! yes . roman : all right , all right ! this lynch mob is going home right now . sami : what ? roman : everybody get out of here . sami : dad , we have to find out what happened here . roman : not if i say you do n't ! get out ! hope : just let us do our jobs , okay ? we can build a case against kristen , but for now , we need to keep this quiet . which means no press , nicole . nicole : what , like i 'm the entire press corps ? marlena : were you able to find brady ? hope : i 'm putting someone on it now . roman : and everybody was leaving , remember ? hey . hey , listen , uh , i do want to find out what happened with you at the vatican , but it can wait . this is obviously a bad time . eric : dad , we can talk about it later . roman : okay , you got it . sami : wait , i ca n't wait . i want to know what happened . what happened in rome ? are you a priest again ? eric : no , just let 's go somewhere where we can talk about it . sami : all right . anne : okay , so now let 's plan how this is gon na work . okay ? theresa : anne , look , i have n't even been able to get dr. dan to go out to dinner with me for the last year . theresa : see what you 're doing ? you 're being all defeatist . now where is my theresa , the one who will fight like the devil for what she wants , even if it means she makes a damn fool of herself , even if it means she gets egg on her face ? theresa : i do n't know . maybe i 'm evolving . have you ever thought of that ? anne : honey , no , i do not believe in evolving , okay ? this goes against everything i stand for . can we all stop with trying to change and heal and all that other new agey b.s . ? can we just make the best of the hand dealt ? theresa : hey , i know , why do n't you go for him ? anne : i 'm sorry , what ? who ? theresa : who do you think ? daniel . look , i 'm serious . you know , i think that i saw him checking you out the other day when you bent over to pick up that pencil . anne : you did ? theresa : yes . anne : i saw it too . yes , but listen , not just that one time . last week he gave me a dirty look , but i 'm telling you , it was a little bit of a sexy look . it was like he was maybe a little turned on , you know ? theresa : go for it . anne : i mean , maybe . it really is a thin line between love and hate , which gives me a whole lot of men to choose from . theresa : man , this coffee sucks . anne : i mean , i 'm not attracted to him or anything . he 's not my type . you know , it 's the hair . he needs it cut , badly . and i do n't know , something about his mouth -- although when he smiles ... theresa : i know . anne , i need some air , okay ? later . anne : hey , you know , it 's very hot out there . it 's air - conditioned in here . we could talk . we could plot how this could ... why do i bother ? brady : [ sighs ] i gave this to her . kristen : well , do n't just sit there . i need you to help me . get me out of here . i should go talk to brady . i need to talk to him . ej : you listen to me , you twisted , psychotic , little bitch . you keep your mouth shut ! ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? daniel : [ groans ] you know , would n't it be great if we could charge kristen with what she did to me too ? kidnapping , i do n't know -- what do you call it , wrongful imprisonment ? abe : and not to mention assault . daniel : yeah , except there wo n't be any witnesses -- not against a dimera . and you can bet that that hotel room is scrubbed clean . and even these injuries wo n't be admissible . abe : well , we will still do a complete investigation . daniel : yeah , good . good , because at least we have got kristen dead to rights on what she did to eric , brady can finally have some closure , and it means the world to me . it 'll mean a lot to brady too . kristen : hi . what are you doing here ? theresa : what are you doing here ? kristen : i knew you 'd be grumpy , but you 're never rude , at least not to me . ej : i realize if it 's not about you , you have sort of a tough time keeping focus . so let me help you . outside that door , there 's a big group of people who would like your head . kristen : yeah , but i have all the confidence in the world in my baby bro . ej : do not -- i repeat -- do not be confident about anything . kristen : why not ? ej : well , i hate to be the one to break this to you , dear sister , but my access to all things dimera has been severely restricted of late , as has father 's . you see , the truth of the matter is that i 'm in the nadir of a deep and downward spiral that started when i agreed to keep your secret about seducing the priest . kristen : i think it started when you slept with abigail deveraux . you 're not really gon na try to blame that on me too , are you ? ej : that was one of the biggest mistakes i 've ever made . kristen : mm . ej : another one was not listening to my instinct when it came to you . i should 've walked away and stayed away . kristen : [ sighs ] there you go , being rude again . ej : no , i 'm being honest . that 's why you would n't understand it . but just to be clear , you are finished . finished . kristen : mm , do i have to remind you that the last time you lost the fabulous , wonderful , beautiful samantha , i brought her back for you ? remember that ? so if you get me out of this fix , i 100 % guarantee that i will get her back for you again . deal ? sami : eric , hey , where are you going ? hey , no ! god , just stop . this is far enough . my feet are killing me . please , just tell me what 's going on . how was rome ? what did he say ? are you a priest again ? eric : i spoke to the cardinal . he was extremely -- in a word , i will not be a priest ever again . sami : because of you . right ? you did something . you promised him you would help him , you promised you would be honest , and what , you just could n't help yourself ? you had to distort the truth . you had to shade the facts just enough so that the cardinal would n't believe his story . nicole : once again , you do n't know the whole story . sami : i know that he 's not going to be a priest again , and i know it 's your fault , and i know that he deserves better ... eric : okay , stop , stop ! sami : than to have you in his life , you lying -- you are unbelievable . i have to tell her what i think . this , of all of the crap that you have pulled , this is up there . i mean , to make him believe that you would help him , to make him believe you were gon na be his hero , you were gon na make things right for eric . and then what , you fixed it so that it would all fall through . well , guess what . eric : sami . sami : it 's too bad , nicole , because kristen 's back . she 's back , so we can prove that he was a victim . and then he can get you out of his life , once and for all . he does n't need you , you lying , baby - stealing bitch ! eric : sami ! that 's enough . i had this chronic , deep ache all over . marlena : hey there . hope : hey . marlena : we came from the d.a . 's office . there is enough to charge kristen for sexual assault and drugging eric . hope : fantastic . marlena : and because she 's a flight risk , they will not let her out on bail . hope : even better . roman : the d.a . says more charges could be filed later . hope : is abe getting daniel 's statement ? roman : as we speak . marlena : so when can i see her ? just five minutes alone with kristen , that 's all . maybe two , maybe even one . hope : it 's not going to happen . marlena : she ruined my son 's life . she destroyed brady to the point that he is drinking and using again . and she also was the reason that he attacked his father . roman : doc . marlena : and that is why john is in a coma . hope : you and i both know you 're not going to be left alone in a room with kristen . marlena , she 'll pay . we 'll nail her . but please , you 've got to back off . let us do this the right way . roman : any word on brady ? hope : no . no one seems to be able to get in touch with him . help us find brady , marlena . marlena : well , maybe he 's at the hospital . he 's usually there , near john . i 'll check . i want kristen 's life destroyed ... completely destroyed . daniel : uh , so how 's the x - rays , doc , hmm ? doc , how ... jennifer : [ sighs ] oh , my god , what did she do to you ? daniel : nothing . i 'm fine , yeah . jennifer : are you , honestly ? daniel : yeah . um ... i -- so how 's brady doing ? jennifer : uh , nobody knows because nobody seems to know where he is . brady : i did n't expect to see you . theresa : no , yeah , same here . i was just -- i was getting some air and , um ... are you okay ? brady : mm - hmm , yeah . theresa : you just look a little tense . brady : [ sighs ] i was -- i was sleeping , and i had a really bad dream . and it was really just the weirdest thing , and ... i woke up tense and worried , and ... it 's not your problem . i , um , i 'm sorry , uh , the annulment papers -- i have n't got them to the court yet . theresa : no , no , it 's ... brady : i told you i would do it , and i have n't done it . theresa : it 's no problem . we can stay married one more day . i mean , i know you have a lot to think about lately , so ... brady : i 've been spending most of my time by my dad 's bed or at the office , you know . it 's good to wo -- keep busy . i 've been working , trying not to think about ... everything . 'cause when i feel a little too much , i ... in the past i used to try to push my feelings down with not too smart of a way . theresa : i gotcha . brady , look , that 's in the past . brady : yeah , i just need to focus on now and concentrate on today . i 'll see you . eric : sami , the cardinal found the evidence in the testimony made my case . i did n't break my vows of my own free will . i was given the chance to return to the priesthood . sami : you were ? then why did n't you ? i mean , my god , eric , it 's what you wanted more than anything . you fought so hard . eric : yes , but i decided . to be a priest requires that i live in god 's grace , that i live the life that god intended me to . the devotion in my heart , i did n't feel it anymore . nicole : what he 's trying to say , sami , is the vatican said he could be a priest again , but that 's not going to happen . he 's not going to be a priest because he hates my guts . sami : what ? nicole : he has a slew of reasons why he hates me . and it 's that hatred that makes him feel unworthy . sami : so it is your fault . after all of this , nicole , it is your fault that he 's not gon na be a priest again . eric : okay , sami , stop it . what we need to concentrate on is that kristen is in custody now . frankly , i 'm worried about mom and brady . okay ? yes , i want my name to be cleared , and , yes , i want kristen punished for what she did . but this is not going to solve anything . nicole : you can kiss that idea good - bye . as of right now , sami 's husband is making sure that kristen walks . sami : no , he is not . nicole : oh , come on . we both know who ej 's going to choose . he 's daddy 's boy . you just love to trash - talk me any chance you could get . but you 're the one who 's married to the man who kept kristen 's dirty secret . that speaks volumes . all you wanted was the dimera power and the dimera money and , of course , to be in ej 's bed . sami : okay , for your information -- nicole : for your information , you better hope that your hubby fails , because if he helps kristen go free , trust me , you are dead . kristen : you know , ej , i 've had some little butterflies keeping tabs on you . ej : have you ? kristen : yeah . my feelings were hurt when you trashed my managerial skills . but i figured that you were just using it as incentive for sami in the workplace and probably the bedroom , so i will overlook it . ej : overlook it ? kristen : mm - hmm . ej : overlook it . you 're blind to everything since seducing that priest , ruining marlena 's life , and marrying brady . you just about drove countess wilhelmina into the ground . kristen : are you kidding me ? you 're kidding me , right ? i mean , you certainly made the most out of the mistakes i did make , but i did n't end up in jail , did i ? uh - uh . did not . oh , and sami and kate , they ended up with the company , but that was n't my doing , was it ? no , that was your doing , was n't it , ej ? ej : look , why do n't we just refrain from the critique ? then we can concentrate on our own affairs . to put it another way , i do not need your help with samantha . kristen : your call . okay ? your call . ej : i just came over here to make sure that we are very clear about one thing -- kristen : oh , i know , `` we 're finished , we 're done . `` yeah , yeah , yeah . stop it . come on , we 're family . ej : kristen ... samantha and my children , they are my family , and i will do anything to keep them . good - bye . kristen : do i really have to spell this out for you ? there 's no middle ground . you ca n't remain neutral . do you get that ? ej : i have no intention of remaining neutral . i 'm going to help eric and the district attorney and anybody else who wants my help put you away . kristen : you might want to rethink that . ej : why ? kristen : because i 'm coming to you in a time of great need . you betray me ... there 's going to be a very steep price to pay . ej : really ? what 's that ? kristen : i 'll destroy you . ej : [ chuckles ] ej : well , that was certainly to the point , if a little melodramatic . my goodness , i 'm being threatened by somebody who 's handcuffed to a chair . kristen : please do n't do this , ej . do n't underestimate me . you know better than anybody that people who do that end up extremely unhappy . ej : i did not underestimate you , kristen . i just came to say good - bye . kristen : you think your life is a mess now ? i 'm going to show you what hell is like . hope : all right , you 've had enough time to consult . i have questions -- a lot of them . ej : you can ask away without me . hope : why is that ? ej : because i 'm refusing to represent kristen . daniel : i 'm just worried about brady . i mean , he was a mess before . i mean , what 's it going to do to him when he sees kristen now ? look , at least we got a case against -- [ exhales ] jennifer : daniel , you are in pain . daniel : no , no , i 'm not . it 's not that bad . no , i just -- look , i got a few stitches over here , and i got some bruised ribs over on this side . it 's no biggie at all . both : yeah . daniel : i just , you know , and i just need to reach parker and melanie and probably my mom . jennifer : oh , let me do that for you . i can call them . daniel : no , no , i 'd rather talk to my children myself . you know , my mom , she 's gon na want to hear from me . jennifer : yeah , i know . right , yeah . daniel : look , jenn , it 's probably going to be a while before i hear anything back from the radiologist , and ... you know , i 'm -- they 're gon na want to do some more blood work . jennifer : i just want to stay . i mean , you almost died . i could 've lost you forever , so i just -- all i want is to be with you . i just want to take you home , and i want to take care of you . please let me do that for you . eric : all right , would you just listen to me ? no more threats , no more blame , and i want you to focus . kristen 's in custody , thanks to daniel . and he looked like hell just to bring her in . nicole : well , that 's the kind of man he is . he 's good . he 's selfless , he 's -- sami : oh , for god 's sake , you lied to him too . you lie to everyone . all you do is lie . [ cell phone rings ] nicole : and all you do is cover for ej 's sins . eric : all right , just stop ! sami : hello ? yeah . no , no , i can -- oh , my god , really ? all right , yes , no . i 'll be home in a minute . all right , thank you . eric : are the children acting uncontrollably again ? sami : how uncharitable of you . nicole : wait , wait . so sami blames me for everything . you do too , right ? anne : you are such a liar . theresa : no , anne , look , seriously , i was just about to head back to work . anne : oh , work , schmork . i stood right over there , and i saw you talking to brady . theresa : oh . yeah , well , i just needed -- anne : well , so obviously things are n't over . theresa : no , no , no , they 're definitely over . i mean , things with brady , they 're history , and , you know , i mean , with everything that 's happened , that 's probably a good thing . marlena : brady , brady . wait , wait , wait . i 've been trying to reach you , been looking everywhere for you . brady : what 's wrong ? is it -- is it dad ? marlena : no , no . brady : what 's going on with him ? marlena : john -- there 's no change . brady : okay , what then ? what 's so important ? marlena : [ sighs ] brady : marlena , you 're scaring me . you - you 're shaking . what is going on ? daniel : jenn , you know i love you . and i appreciate that you want to make sure that i 'm all right , but it does n't change anything . jennifer : because of what i said ? daniel : because of what you think of me . jennifer : no ! daniel : yes . abe thinks i should be hero of the month for what i did , but we both know it does n't matter what i do , you will always think that i am someone who is incap -- larry : we got the x - ray results . so ... mind if i interrupt ? daniel : no , it 's okay , larry . i think you should go , jenn . jennifer : okay . larry : let me check that spot on your scalp again . any more bleeding ? daniel : no , no , no , no , it 's just superficial . eric : i 'm gon na go check on daniel . maybe i can locate brady . nicole : hey , come on . it 's a simple question . eric : nicole , what does it matter what i think ? nicole : well , you 're thinking something , right ? eric : yeah , well -- nicole : wait , hey , come -- tell me . eric : i wish we would 've caught kristen months ago . i still would 've cared about you and loved you . sami : [ sighs ] who am i kidding ? of course those kids know something 's wrong . [ door opens ] kristen : well , i guess i 'm going to need that phone call after all . hope : all right . oh , i do n't have my key . do n't worry , you 'll get your call . kristen : hey , hope ? have you spoken to brady ? and does he know if i 'm here ? brady : you 're as white as a sheet . do you want to come inside ? do you want some water ? marlena : no , no , no , no , it 's just ...

[ scene_break ] carly : jason is sitting there all alone . why ? because he put everything on the line to rescue your son . he has done everything you 've ever asked him to do . he has gone against his happiness , his heart -- everything . elizabeth : you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : the hell i do n't know what i 'm talking about . i know everything he 's given up for you . elizabeth : we agreed . it 's what jason wants , too . please , carly , just stay out of this . carly : what does jason want ? [ jake cries ] carly : what does jason want , and what do you want me to stay out of ? elizabeth : how about my life ? because as usual , when it comes to you , this conversation is pointless . carly : well , i think -- i think i hit a nerve . you do n't want me to see jason . what are you so afraid he 's going to tell me ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you got quiet all of the sudden . go ahead and deny that you did n't just stand there and watch jason 's son get kidnapped and you did nothing about it . sam : i do n't know where you got this information or why you are suddenly so angry with me , but maybe i need to remind you , sonny , that i am the one who was hurt . i 'm the one who was lied to and betrayed by jason . sonny : you know what ? for the record , the person i should be mad at is myself , because it 's my fault that jason got tangled up with you in the first place .

[ scene_break ] sam : you 're saying that jason and i would n't have ended up together if it had n't been for you ? how arrogant of you . sonny : you realize what you 've put jason through , sam ? stuck in lockup going crazy , thinking somebody stole his -- his kid ? not being able to do anything about it . and all the while , you knew who took him . some woman you knew . why did you do that ? i think i know why . because jason had a baby with elizabeth , and you ca n't stand it . sam : okay , now you 're making a lot of assumptions . sonny : no , i 'm not making assumptions , i 'm speaking the truth . and i got a reliable source . sam : really ? sonny : yeah , really . sam : who , amelia ? a woman who hates my guts ? a woman who wants anything bad to happen to me ? sonny : you 've made yourself look bad here , sam . amelia has every right to hate you . you married her father , you soak him for every cent that he has , and then you blow him away ! sam : in self - defense ! why , sonny ? why are you so quick to believe the worst in someone you made a child with ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you know , for someone who claims to be jason 's best friend , you do n't seem to have any comprehension of what he needs beyond what you want . ric is dancing off the ceilings since jason 's been arrested , because finally he 's in a position to take jason 's life away and make what 's left of it a living hell . and you want to antagonize ric by bringing up this whole panic room thing ? and for what , carly ? so that you can get in to see jason so he can baby you with your never - ending problems ? carly : stop with the high and mighty , okay ? i know i 'm selfish when it comes to jason , but you 're in no position to throw stones . elizabeth : at least i know when i 'm being selfish , and what it costs jason when i am . oh , carly , i do not want to fight with you , but you need to put the brakes on before you do something that jason lives to regret , and i 'm going to help you . there 's no way i 'm coming forward about this whole panic room thing , or anything else that you want to use against ric . carly : wow . you have absolutely no gratitude for jason -- [ elizabeth sighs ] carly : and anything he 's done for you , certainly not if it means messing up your happy home . but you know what ? the bottom is going to fall out , and it is all going to come crashing around you , and when it does , i will be first in line leading the cheers . lucky : carly ! get away from my wife .

[ scene_break ] sam : who the hell are you to judge me ? when carly wanted out of your marriage , you took her kids . you did n't let her see michael and morgan . if i did happen to watch jake being kidnapped , it was a moment of weakness compared to what you did to carly and the months of deliberate lies from jason . sonny : i was n't proud of the way i acted during that custody hearing . but carly and i have managed to -- to work things out . there was no crime committed . at least my kids were n't stolen by some flipped - out stranger . sam : not that time , anyway . sonny : you do n't know the extent of that woman 's guilt and the damage that was done to her because she lost that baby . now , you want to say it 's a moment of weakness , that 's up to you , sam . but the fact is it was better for you if that baby was never seen . sam : oh . it just -- it must be wonderful to be one of the chosen few . you and jason and carly , your tight little circle , gets to sanctimoniously decide what 's best for everyone else , who we get to love and how much . you get to do whatever you want ; we 're just supposed to take it . and god forbid , sonny , god forbid if one of us have the gall to act out in hurt or frustration -- you 'd beat us with the consequences and tell us we had it coming . i am `` not `` falling in line anymore . sonny : the best thing , sam , for you to do is let jason go because -- save him the pain of telling you he never wants to see you again . sam : you do n't speak for jason , and you do not tell me what to do .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't have time for this . you have to get back to work , and i promised gram that i 'd take the boys over for dinner . lucky : and dinner can wait . this is about family . elizabeth : all right . lucky : the night that jason was arrested -- you were furious with me . i mean , you even called me `` pathetic . `` but everything you said to carly was the truth . what jason did was wrong . elizabeth : see , that 's the difference between you and me . i do n't feel like i 'm in a position to criticize anything jason did that night . all that matters to me is that jason found -- our son .

[ scene_break ] barbara : jen , would you like to say a few words , honey ? jennifer : thank you , everybody , for coming . so much has happened . so much pain , so much loss . it can seem overwhelming . i know it has for me . especially at that terrible time when i was lead to believe that i had lost my child . and when i found out that -- how big a part paul played in all that , i just -- i could n't fathom why he would subject me to so much pain . and so i lashed out . i refused to listen , i refused to forgive . i felt like that was the worst punishment that i could give to paul after what he did to me . i never imagined that he would punish himself by taking his own life . and as angry as i am at paul for hurting me the way he did , i am more angry at him for leaving us . i think , in time , i could have found the forgiveness that paul so desperately wanted from me . but now he will never know that . so i guess i just hope that he somehow found some peace . thank you again for coming .

[ scene_break ] barbara : we parents , i believe , never really want our children to grow up . spend our whole lives trying to protect them , even when they tell us that they do n't really want us in their lives anymore . and that 's the real heartbreak -- to feel unwanted , to feel like you 've lost that connection with a child you brought into the world . and when , in an instant , they 're taken from you , and so many things are left unsaid -- dusty : what 's meg doing here ? jennifer : i do n't know . barbara : as a parent , you blame yourself . as a parent , you question what you could possibly have done to save them . my son paul fought against so much in his life -- a father i tried all of his life to protect him from , and i believe that he felt that i should have kept him safe from james stenbeck forever . but no one could have done that . and i think that paul just could n't fight anymore . but the one thing -- in his death that he was able to do , that he could n't in his lifetime , was bring his family together . even if we 're just here to say good - bye to him . i 've failed you . you always were a tortured human being . i could n't help you . and when you needed me most , i turned away . please forgive me . i will never stop loving you . [ scene_break ] barbara : jen , would you like to say a few words , honey ? jennifer : thank you , everybody , for coming . so much has happened . so much pain , so much loss . it can seem overwhelming . i know it has for me . especially at that terrible time when i was lead to believe that i had lost my child . and when i found out that -- how big a part paul played in all that , i just -- i could n't fathom why he would subject me to so much pain . and so i lashed out . i refused to listen , i refused to forgive . i felt like that was the worst punishment that i could give to paul after what he did to me . i never imagined that he would punish himself by taking his own life . and as angry as i am at paul for hurting me the way he did , i am more angry at him for leaving us . i think , in time , i could have found the forgiveness that paul so desperately wanted from me . but now he will never know that . so i guess i just hope that he somehow found some peace . thank you again for coming .

robin : okay . this looks like a good spot . maxie : i suppose . robin : what do you think , little girl ? maxie : what was that ? i agree . she said , `` mom , please do n't ever make me wear this outfit again . just because i 'm a baby does n't mean i need to look boring . `` robin : oh , really ? what else 'd she say ? maxie : huh ? yeah . i totally agree with that , too , but i have more experience with this than your mom does . she thinks that you need a new plan because a picnic is too obvious . robin : look , lisa is too busy trying to make me look crazy to notice . and if she does , then patrick and i will figure out something else .

[ scene_break ] lulu : oh , thank god kate is n't here yet . i am so late . dante : well , it was for a good cause . you got me through a rough night . lulu : is that why you were singing `` rigoletto `` in the shower ? dante : yeah . you recognized it . lulu : do n't take this the wrong way -- you did not miss your calling as an opera singer . dante : oh , you know , that 's why i love you so much . you do n't pull any punches . you just tell me exactly what you 're thinking . lulu : you sure that 's a good thing ? dante : you know , everything is so clear today . i mean , i can investigate all i want , but the truth is right in front of me . sonny ran . it does n't matter if he 's guilty or innocent -- he 's gone for good , and all of his kids , including me , are going to be better off without him .

[ dante chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jason : i may have been wrong about the reason why sonny went to rome . he might not have connected with brenda . i do n't know . carly : yeah . he went for the pizza . jason : either way , he 's going to be landing at a private airstrip , and he asked me to have diane meet him there . carly : do you think brenda 's going to be with him ? jason : carly , i do n't know . i doubt it . diane and sonny have to go straight to the pcpd . he 's going to turn himself in , which does n't leave enough time for dante and me to prove that johnny even -- carly : wait . you and dante ? since when have you been working with dante ? [ scene_break ] maxie : so let me get this straight . the plan is to make lisa think that you and patrick have broken up . patrick will act available . lisa will make her move . and somehow , patrick manages to trip her up so she incriminates herself ? robin : well , something like that . maxie : that 's way too transparent . and if lisa figures it out , she 's going to be even more dangerous than before . robin : well , do you have any better ideas ? maxie : no , but i could probably come up with one in , like , 24 hours . robin : no , i ca n't afford to wait . lisa has already gotten me suspended , and she 's threatened emma more than once . maxie : just do n't let lisa figure out that you and patrick are working together . although that is kind of promising . robin : i ca n't even think about my marriage right now . i 'm just focused on keeping my daughter safe and proving lisa 's crazy . maxie : psychotic people can be very seductive and convincing . they can make you do things you know are wrong , like franco did with me . robin : this is a completely different situation . maxie : it 's not that different , okay ? patrick only slept with lisa once , and trust me , i think he regrets it . ca n't you just cut him a little slack ? robin : is this about you and spinelli never getting over the whole franco thing ? maxie : look , if i could take back what i did that night , i would . but spinelli and i are different . i mean , you and patrick , you stand to lose a lot more than we did . sometimes people just mess up , robin . and you have to get over it . robin : it hurts too much to think about that right now . at least patrick and i agree on one thing -- we want lisa out of our lives forever , no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] lisa : once you remember what it feels like to be a free man , you will thank me . patrick : i 'm not the dog that you used to know in med school . i 'm a husband who loves his wife . i 'm a father who would lay down his life for his little girl . and because of one drunken night with you , i 'm in jeopardy of losing all of that . lisa : okay . well , you know , we both wanted it , and if your marriage was sound , it would n't fall apart because of one mistake . if it even was a mistake . patrick : marriage is complicated . lisa : you know what ? i have known you a lot longer than robin has , and i know that your biggest fear is becoming a skirt - chasing drunk like your dad . patrick : yeah . you got that right . lisa : yeah . well , you do n't have to leave emma the way that noel left you , okay ? you can still be a great dad . although it 's sad to see robin come unglued , i just hope that she gets the help that she needs . patrick : well , i 'm not sure that she 's the one that needs it . lisa : okay . do n't even start . i am fine . but i know what this really is . you 're just upset because robin left you , and nobody leaves patrick drake . patrick : i would hope that i 've grown past that . lisa : well , now you know what it feels like to be left behind . but you 'll get over it , just like i did . [ scene_break ] lucky : mac , listen . you ca n't listen if you 're yelling . lisa niles has n't done anything , okay ? at least not officially . and you know , maybe the police report she filed with me was n't really necessary , but it was n't bogus . i mean , robin did threaten to kill her in front of witnesses . i 'm going to tell you what you always tell me . just go by the book and follow the rules . if we give lisa enough time , she 'll make a mistake . yeah , well , i 'm sick of the rules , too . we all are . [ knock on door ] lucky : somebody 's at my door . i 'll call you later . all right . tracy : hi . i have a job for you . lucky : this ought to be good . tracy : i want you to take a little trip . i 'm going to pay all the expenses , and i 'm going to give you ten grand to start and plenty more to follow . lucky : in return for what ? tracy : i want you to find your father and bring him home , and i do not want you to let luke know that i put you up to it . [ scene_break ] carly : you hate dante . you know he 's a liar and a traitor , and that he had michael sent to prison . jason : i understand that , but it saves time to work with dante , and sonny does n't have any to spare now -- carly : except you want to prove that johnny was carrying a gun when sonny shot him , and dante wants to prove the opposite . jason : he wants the truth . he came to me with this . carly : oh , my god . that should be a red flag to you . it 's a trick . he wants you to obtain the evidence illegally so he can charge you with something . god knows what he 'll do to spinelli . and any evidence that you find that could prove sonny 's innocent , i guarantee it 's going to mysteriously disappear . jason : the good thing about that is spinelli and i control the evidence , and we decide what dante sees . carly : okay . the second dante builds a case against sonny , he 's going to double cross you . have you forgotten how dante turned michael in to the court ? jason : he also got michael out . carly : a little too late . i do n't know what happened to michael in prison , but he 's nowhere near over it , and that 's on dante .

[ scene_break ] jason : you just need to forget about getting even with dante right now . carly : you know , we 've all made a lot of mistakes with michael , but we were trying to protect him . dante just wanted another little star for his badge . jason : we have other things to worry about right now , carly . carly : michael does n't want to finish school . did you know that ? what 's more important than that ? this is a little boy that we hoped would grow up to be a lawyer or a ceo of a big company and have this fabulous life , and he thinks he 's nothing . he sees no hope for his future . and he has n't been the same since he came home from pentonville . jason : we are all responsible for putting him there . carly : michael almost flipped out yesterday when a girl tried to pull him into the water at the country club . he flinches every single time somebody tries to touch him . have you looked into his eyes lately ? because he 's broken . and that 's on dante , jason . jason : i 'm just saying it does n't help to target dante . carly : [ chuckles ] you 're never going to change my mind about this , because dante put a teenage boy in a federal prison . and yeah , he got him out , but it was a little too late . and i do n't care how hard he tries to redeem himself . he can never undo what happened to michael . [ scene_break ] dante : how you feeling ? johnny : pretty good , actually . dante : got a few questions about the statement you made . johnny : i bet you do . dante : just to clarify , you were unarmed when you ran into sonny on baker street . he shot you without provocation . johnny : yeah , just like you . only i 'm not going to perjure myself on the stand trying to protect him . dante : you know , it 's just hard to believe that you did n't have a gun on you . johnny : you and claire walsh . i ca n't help you there . did n't have a gun . dante : yeah . just too convenient for me . johnny : dante . you 'll feel a lot better about things when you can accept your father for what he really is .

[ scene_break ] carly : are you sure you want to send all the calls to voicemail ? lulu : yeah . why is sonny coming back ? did he get caught ? carly : no . turning himself in . i guess he had a change of heart when he left the country , and he does n't want his kids to think that he could shoot an unarmed man after what happened to dante . lulu : dante was finally getting in a good place about this . he was acting like the whole investigation was just a formality . carly : maybe it is . lulu : you know what ? when sonny comes home , dante 's going to have to choose between his father and the badge . carly : why ? you just said that dante thinks sonny 's guilty -- lulu : dante does n't know what to think . he wants to believe sonny . what if he lies for him again ? what if he does something stupid to protect sonny , and what if this time , he gets caught ?

[ sniffles ] you hate sonny so much that you ca n't even see what really matters anymore , not even when it 's looking you right in the face . [ scene_break ] lulu : i tie myself in knots trying to understand why dante would cover for a man who shot him . carly : any conclusion ? lulu : well , it took me a while , but i think it was because dante was fresh out of surgery . he just found out sonny was his father . and it sent him reeling . carly : that 's understandable . lulu : he could n't turn off this conflict that he was feeling and send sonny to prison . he had too much that he had to figure out . but for a while , i thought he would get past all the confusion because dante is all about upholding the law that sonny breaks every single day . carly : not always that clear - cut , especially with him . lulu : right , exactly , which is why i wish that sonny was n't dante 's family . to be honest , it 's why i wish that sonny never came back . you know , i thought , `` sonny 's jumped bail . he 's shown us who he really is . great . done . `` but that 's obviously too good to be true , because sonny is too all about sonny to just stay gone . he probably went wherever he was going and realized he could n't stand not being the center of everybody 's attention . carly : it 's sonny world , you know . we just live in it . lulu : i know . but dante puts on a gun every day , and he goes out there , and he finds bad people , and he brings them to justice . and that worries me , just like any woman who 's involved with a cop . but i am more worried about sonny and what he could do . what if he forces dante into a decision that he ca n't take back ? the badge means everything to him . so if he betrays that ... carly : [ sighs ] i wish i could be more encouraging , but you know , the truth is , dante will compromise himself again . he already did it once , lulu . he crossed the line for his father , and that makes it really easy to do again . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm looking at the same report you were looking at , and i have n't found any proof -- jason : right there . who found johnny in the street ? dante : ronnie dimestico . are you serious ? that 's your proof that johnny was armed ? give me a break . jason : ronnie hates sonny as much as he hates me . dante : he would n't frame sonny . jason : are you kidding ? he had a history with franco that he never confessed to . who knows what this guy is covering up ? dante : come on . he would n't tamper with evidence . jason : dante , you got to look at what 's right in front of you . nothing in that report contradicts what sonny says until ronnie shows up . ronnie ditched the gun to frame sonny . dante : all right , look . he would never do this . jason : you know as well as i do that johnny always carries a gun . he would never meet sonny face to face unarmed . dante : okay . if he tampers with evidence , he loses his badge . jason : are you going to protect him ? dante : i 've known him a hell of a lot longer than i 've known sonny corinthos . jason : okay . so you can look at this like a cop -- you can lie and protect one of your own -- or you could find the truth and help sonny . [ scene_break ] patrick : i am so sick of apologizing to you . robin : then do n't apologize anymore . if you want lisa , take her . we know it would n't be the first time . patrick : great . so now , this is all my fault . robin : you 're the one that ca n't be trusted . patrick : you went to africa . robin : so you 're punishing me for that ? you just decided that that 's the way to get back at me , by sleeping with lisa ? patrick : no , i made a mistake sleeping with lisa . i would n't expect you to understand that . i mean , you never do anything wrong . robin : oh , i did . i definitely made a mistake when i married you . patrick : yeah . look where that got me . i feel like i 'm in prison . robin : good . well , you want out ? get out of jail . just go , okay ? if you want lisa , she 's all yours . [ scene_break ] [ lucky sighs ] [ door opens ] lucky : look , whatever my father has done , i 'm sure he had no intention of violating international law . and as for any contraband that may have been found in his vicinity , he did n't know anything about it . if antiquities are involved , i 'm sure he just thought they were forgeries . you know , doing someone a favor . he 's a sucker for a sob story . that innocent guy just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time . agent bates : yes , your father seems quite fond of herring . lucky : then you know about it . agent bates : interpol knows a great deal about luke spencer , but innocent is not a word i would choose to describe him . lucky : do i need to call a lawyer ? agent bates : detective spencer , i appreciate your concern for your father . but right now , interpol is much more interested in you . | dante tells lulu that he has realized that it does n't matter if sonny is guilty or innocent ; the important thing is that he is gone for good and all of his kids will be better off without him . dante runs into his mother at the hospital and they both agree that johnny probably had a gun when sonny shot him . olivia tells dante that the truth always comes out eventually . dante goes into johnny 's room and tells him he finds it hard to believe he did n't have a gun . johnny says dante will feel better about everything when he accepts his father for who he is . olivia goes into johnny 's room and asks him to tell the truth and end the vendetta with sonny , but johnny is unwavering in his claim that he was unarmed . jason tells carly that sonny is on his way back to port charles to surrender himself to the authorities and face charges . carly wants to know if brenda is coming too . he says he does n't know but that diane is going to take sonny straight to the police station so jason and dante wo n't have time to get evidence to prove sonny 's innocence . carly demands to know how long jason has been working with dante . he tells her that it is quicker to work together . carly warns him that dante will double cross him . she says michael has n't been the same since dante sent him to pentonville . carly goes to crimson and tells lulu that sonny is coming home . lulu says that means dante will have to choose between his father and his badge and that she is concerned that dante will do something stupid to protect sonny again , but get caught this time . jason goes to the police station and tells dante that sonny is on his way home to prove his innocence so they have to find proof that johnny had a gun . dante looks at a list of atm transactions in the area at the time and jason looks at the police report . suddenly jason tells dante that the proof is in the police report ; the report was taken by ronnie dimestico . | <s>[INST] robin : okay . this looks like a good spot . maxie : i suppose . robin : what do you think , little girl ? maxie : what was that ? i agree . she said , `` mom , please do n't ever make me wear this outfit again . just because i 'm a baby does n't mean i need to look boring . `` robin : oh , really ? what else 'd she say ? maxie : huh ? yeah . i totally agree with that , too , but i have more experience with this than your mom does . she thinks that you need a new plan because a picnic is too obvious . robin : look , lisa is too busy trying to make me look crazy to notice . and if she does , then patrick and i will figure out something else .

[ dante chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jason : i may have been wrong about the reason why sonny went to rome . he might not have connected with brenda . i do n't know . carly : yeah . he went for the pizza . jason : either way , he 's going to be landing at a private airstrip , and he asked me to have diane meet him there . carly : do you think brenda 's going to be with him ? jason : carly , i do n't know . i doubt it . diane and sonny have to go straight to the pcpd . he 's going to turn himself in , which does n't leave enough time for dante and me to prove that johnny even -- carly : wait . you and dante ? since when have you been working with dante ? [ scene_break ] maxie : so let me get this straight . the plan is to make lisa think that you and patrick have broken up . patrick will act available . lisa will make her move . and somehow , patrick manages to trip her up so she incriminates herself ? robin : well , something like that . maxie : that 's way too transparent . and if lisa figures it out , she 's going to be even more dangerous than before . robin : well , do you have any better ideas ? maxie : no , but i could probably come up with one in , like , 24 hours . robin : no , i ca n't afford to wait . lisa has already gotten me suspended , and she 's threatened emma more than once . maxie : just do n't let lisa figure out that you and patrick are working together . although that is kind of promising . robin : i ca n't even think about my marriage right now . i 'm just focused on keeping my daughter safe and proving lisa 's crazy . maxie : psychotic people can be very seductive and convincing . they can make you do things you know are wrong , like franco did with me . robin : this is a completely different situation . maxie : it 's not that different , okay ? patrick only slept with lisa once , and trust me , i think he regrets it . ca n't you just cut him a little slack ? robin : is this about you and spinelli never getting over the whole franco thing ? maxie : look , if i could take back what i did that night , i would . but spinelli and i are different . i mean , you and patrick , you stand to lose a lot more than we did . sometimes people just mess up , robin . and you have to get over it . robin : it hurts too much to think about that right now . at least patrick and i agree on one thing -- we want lisa out of our lives forever , no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] lisa : once you remember what it feels like to be a free man , you will thank me . patrick : i 'm not the dog that you used to know in med school . i 'm a husband who loves his wife . i 'm a father who would lay down his life for his little girl . and because of one drunken night with you , i 'm in jeopardy of losing all of that . lisa : okay . well , you know , we both wanted it , and if your marriage was sound , it would n't fall apart because of one mistake . if it even was a mistake . patrick : marriage is complicated . lisa : you know what ? i have known you a lot longer than robin has , and i know that your biggest fear is becoming a skirt - chasing drunk like your dad . patrick : yeah . you got that right . lisa : yeah . well , you do n't have to leave emma the way that noel left you , okay ? you can still be a great dad . although it 's sad to see robin come unglued , i just hope that she gets the help that she needs . patrick : well , i 'm not sure that she 's the one that needs it . lisa : okay . do n't even start . i am fine . but i know what this really is . you 're just upset because robin left you , and nobody leaves patrick drake . patrick : i would hope that i 've grown past that . lisa : well , now you know what it feels like to be left behind . but you 'll get over it , just like i did . [ scene_break ] lucky : mac , listen . you ca n't listen if you 're yelling . lisa niles has n't done anything , okay ? at least not officially . and you know , maybe the police report she filed with me was n't really necessary , but it was n't bogus . i mean , robin did threaten to kill her in front of witnesses . i 'm going to tell you what you always tell me . just go by the book and follow the rules . if we give lisa enough time , she 'll make a mistake . yeah , well , i 'm sick of the rules , too . we all are . [ knock on door ] lucky : somebody 's at my door . i 'll call you later . all right . tracy : hi . i have a job for you . lucky : this ought to be good . tracy : i want you to take a little trip . i 'm going to pay all the expenses , and i 'm going to give you ten grand to start and plenty more to follow . lucky : in return for what ? tracy : i want you to find your father and bring him home , and i do not want you to let luke know that i put you up to it . [ scene_break ] carly : you hate dante . you know he 's a liar and a traitor , and that he had michael sent to prison . jason : i understand that , but it saves time to work with dante , and sonny does n't have any to spare now -- carly : except you want to prove that johnny was carrying a gun when sonny shot him , and dante wants to prove the opposite . jason : he wants the truth . he came to me with this . carly : oh , my god . that should be a red flag to you . it 's a trick . he wants you to obtain the evidence illegally so he can charge you with something . god knows what he 'll do to spinelli . and any evidence that you find that could prove sonny 's innocent , i guarantee it 's going to mysteriously disappear . jason : the good thing about that is spinelli and i control the evidence , and we decide what dante sees . carly : okay . the second dante builds a case against sonny , he 's going to double cross you . have you forgotten how dante turned michael in to the court ? jason : he also got michael out . carly : a little too late . i do n't know what happened to michael in prison , but he 's nowhere near over it , and that 's on dante . [ scene_break ] dante : ma , what are you doing ? olivia : i could ask you the same thing . dante : i 'm doing my job . you know , catching bad guys . olivia : i guess you heard that johnny woke up . dante : yeah . you should bring him homemade pastries . olivia : i did n't have any time . dante : i do n't get you . i really do n't . i mean , you devote your entire life to bringing me up away from the mob , and now , you 're in so deep with this guy that you 're bringing him store - bought pastries ? olivia : if you makes you feel any better , john and i are fighting , okay ? dante : oh , yeah ? about what ? you know what ? never mind . i do n't want to know . olivia : i believe sonny . i do n't know what happened to john 's gun , but i know he had one . dante : well , he says he did n't in the police report . olivia : i think he woke up here in the hospital , he heard that sonny was charged with attempted murder , and he decided to run with it . dante : so you think he 's lying . olivia : so do you . i do n't think after what happened with you that sonny would ever shoot an unarmed man again . dante : yeah , but sonny jumped bail . makes him look guilty . it backs up johnny 's story . olivia : the truth always comes out eventually . if you learn one thing from my mistakes , i hope you 'll at least learn that . [ scene_break ] steve : you 're lucky to be alive . johnny : i hear you led the surgery to save my life . steve : yeah . i have a lot of experience with emergency trauma . but i 'm not the one who saved your life . that would be olivia . she pretty much camped out , talked to you , prayed , willed you into surviving . but i have n't seen her around here very much since you woke up . johnny : i 'm much easier to get along with when i 'm asleep . steve : are n't we all . johnny : we were fighting about sonny , as usual . she wants me to say that i had a gun , that sonny shot me in self - defense . but that 's not how it went down . [ scene_break ] lucky : you want me to track down dad , huh ? tracy : if anybody can find your father , you can . besides , he 'll be thrilled to see you . he 'll take you off on an adventure . that 's fine . just bring him home when you 're done , okay ? lucky : does this mean that you 're ready to take him back ? tracy : no . lucky : then what 's the point ? tracy : i need somebody to be mad at . i need somebody to outsmart . i want to worry if my martini 's been poisoned . look , i do n't expect you to understand . suffice to say , my family is ready to ship me off to shadybrook , with alice leading the pack . lucky : ah . so you want me to do this for alice . i see . tracy : do you want 75,000 ? is that enough ? there 's plenty . you name your price . lucky : now tracy , i ca n't just walk away from my job . tracy : oh . spencers do n't hold jobs . they have inconveniences that bring in a little money . lucky : still , i ca n't just vanish . tracy : do you want to spend your entire career goading your father ? have you not made your point ? lucky , luke has been gone way too long . somebody should have heard from him by now . lucky : he stole ten million of your dollars when he found out your marriage was a fraud . maybe he 's afraid that you 're going to press charges . you ever think of that ? tracy : i do n't want to prosecute him . i just want to see him . and clearly , you need a reason to leave town . lucky : what gives you that impression ? [ tracy laughs ] lucky : what ? tracy : lucky , i have been observing spencers for a long , long time , and you , my friend , have the look . it 's the look your father gets when he 's dreaming up a scam . ethan gets it when he 's fleecing customers . even lulu gets it sometimes . lucky : you 're amazing . tracy : look . you 're going to leave town one way or another , so why do n't you make a little money while you 're at it ? you want to raise a little hell on my dime ? [ scene_break ] alexis : you like irony , right ? remember how hard i tried to keep sonny out of kristina 's life ? well , he 's decided to play bang - bang shoot-'em - up with his mobster friends again , and he took off , and the only thing that upsets me is the fact that he 's not spending time with his daughter . nikolas : how does kristina feel about all that , by the way ? alexis : well , you think she 'd be used to it by now , but she 's never going to get used to it . school might help , i guess , although the girls are a bit mean , so i do n't know that she 's looking forward to going to madison . what about aiden ? must be difficult for you to have sent him off to california . nikolas : yeah . of course it was . i mean , i hate missing the first few weeks of his life , the same way i hated missing time with spencer when he was a baby . but i do n't know . elizabeth 's not happy here . whatever . i 'm just trying to keep my mind off it by working too much , as always . alexis : mmm . anything interesting ? nikolas : well , i 'm going to france for the weekend with a stopover in london . alexis : oh , that explains the scone and the tea . what are the odds i can get some really caffeinated coffee ? because i 'm going to start to twitch , and it 's not pretty . nikolas : alfred is sending over a fresh pot straightaway . alexis : thank you . straightaway . that 's good . you know the one thing i learned from my friend , my english friend ? i can assemble a scone perfectly . want to see ? nikolas : actually , i would like to see your scone - dressing etiquette , because i 'm going to need some help with that on my trip . alexis : oh , okay . what kind of help ? nikolas : well , i 'm going to phillip nyce 's chateau for the weekend , so you know all about that . alexis : is he still running that european container line ? nikolas : yes . yes , he is . we 're discussing a possible business venture together , hence the informal invitation to a house party . and i certainly ca n't show up to a party in the countryside alone , so . alexis : oh , i ca n't go . i 've got the kids -- nikolas : not with you . i have a date . alexis : oh , a date ? nikolas : yes . alexis : who 's the lucky girl ? nikolas : brook lynn ashton . alexis : are you out of your mind ? nikolas : so i sense you do n't approve of me spending a weekend with brook lynn . alexis : no , it 's not that at all . i just do n't think she 's the right girl to bring on this particular trip . nikolas : i 'm not saying it wo n't be a challenge . alexis : what is she going to talk about with phillip ? he 's a snob . she 's from bensonhurst . her mother has 500-inch plastic fingernails , and her dad was a rock star that wore leather pants . nikolas : who you were in love with , by the way . alexis : absolutely . he 's a great guy . brook lynn 's a great gal . but she 's not the right match for this trip . if she opens up her mouth , it could blow the whole thing for you . brook lynn : okay . so just know that that barn you have ? it 's bigger than my cousin frankie 's apartment . nikolas : i was just telling alexis here about our pending trip together . alexis : all right . i think you should run . run like the wind . flee this place while you still have the chance . [ scene_break ] lisa : oh , hey , you know what ? i 've got a case that has patrick drake written all over it . unless , of course , you do n't think that we should pool our considerable talents to heal the sick . patrick : lisa , we 're not working together anymore . no consults , no surgery . i do n't know how much more clear i can be about that . maxie : patrick , i need to talk to you . patrick : what 's wrong ? maxie : look . basically , i 'm only here because i believe in true love , although robin would kill me if she knew i was talking to you . patrick : maxie , is robin all right ? maxie : we were supposed to go to the park to have a picnic so she could get her mind off of you , but that did n't exactly work . we had a huge argument . look , i love robin , but she can be impossible sometimes . and even though she wo n't admit it , i know she 's really upset at how this is turning out . and i think she would be happy to see you . [ scene_break ] jason : you just need to forget about getting even with dante right now . carly : you know , we 've all made a lot of mistakes with michael , but we were trying to protect him . dante just wanted another little star for his badge . jason : we have other things to worry about right now , carly . carly : michael does n't want to finish school . did you know that ? what 's more important than that ? this is a little boy that we hoped would grow up to be a lawyer or a ceo of a big company and have this fabulous life , and he thinks he 's nothing . he sees no hope for his future . and he has n't been the same since he came home from pentonville . jason : we are all responsible for putting him there . carly : michael almost flipped out yesterday when a girl tried to pull him into the water at the country club . he flinches every single time somebody tries to touch him . have you looked into his eyes lately ? because he 's broken . and that 's on dante , jason . jason : i 'm just saying it does n't help to target dante . carly : [ chuckles ] you 're never going to change my mind about this , because dante put a teenage boy in a federal prison . and yeah , he got him out , but it was a little too late . and i do n't care how hard he tries to redeem himself . he can never undo what happened to michael . [ scene_break ] dante : how you feeling ? johnny : pretty good , actually . dante : got a few questions about the statement you made . johnny : i bet you do . dante : just to clarify , you were unarmed when you ran into sonny on baker street . he shot you without provocation . johnny : yeah , just like you . only i 'm not going to perjure myself on the stand trying to protect him . dante : you know , it 's just hard to believe that you did n't have a gun on you . johnny : you and claire walsh . i ca n't help you there . did n't have a gun . dante : yeah . just too convenient for me . johnny : dante . you 'll feel a lot better about things when you can accept your father for what he really is . [ scene_break ] lucky : yes , it 's great to hear your voice as well . you were always my father 's favorite fence in amsterdam . oh , sorry . antiques importer . my mistake . so listen . i 'm wondering about the gold statues that were stolen from the tomb of eurydice . did you hear about the robbery ? yeah . no , i know . it was pretty outrageous . 5 of them were stolen . 3 were recovered packed in crates of red herring . sounds a lot like my dad . so i 'm thinking that he might be headed your way -- not that you would ever be involved in a transaction like that . but if you do happen to see him , could you tell him that lucky is on his way to amsterdam ? okay . thank you . yeah , i look forward to seeing you as well . [ knock on door ] lucky : thanks .

[ scene_break ] alexis : first , i want to tell you that i am so fond of nikolas . and i am very fond of you , actually , which is why i 'm going to tell you that i think it 's probably a very bad idea that you go on this trip . and he 's a very poor prospect . brook lynn : poor ? mmm . i do n't think so . alexis : well , i think it 's a terrible idea if you guys get involved . nikolas : really ? well , it 's one weekend , and we 're not involved . alexis : let elizabeth be a cautionary tale . brook lynn : elizabeth ? i 'm not planning on getting knocked up anytime soon . and while we 're talking about this , `` run , run like the wind `` ? do you know what image comes to mind ? alexis : hmm ? brook lynn : you . yeah , that 's right . you running away from the church when you were supposed to marry my dad . alexis : i have relationship issues . brook lynn : i know . i heard you flagged down a semi . alexis : i did . i 'm nuts . brook lynn : crazy . alexis : we all are . [ brook lynn laughs ] alexis : we 're all insane . the cassadines are insane which , again , is another reason why you should n't get involved with nikolas . nikolas : we 're not involved . alexis : i do n't want to belabor this , but i think that he really , truly has n't gotten over the loss of emily . brook lynn : neither have the quartermaines . alexis : i do n't know . do you think i 'm handling this badly ? nikolas : mm - hmm . alexis : okay . i 'm just going to try one more thing . he leans toward obsession , and he 's looking for a purpose in his life . brook lynn : okay . just relax . just relax . you want the truth ? i need money . he needs a date . so this is strictly about work . we good ? alexis : we 're good . okay . i 'm out of here . nikolas : she 's right , though . my life is a mess , so if you 'd rather steer clear of this little escapade we 're about to embark on , feel free to leave .

[ ring ] carly : hi , there . what can i do for you ? what seems to be the problem ? lulu : kate howard 's office . carly : i can appreciate the stress of launching a new line . lulu : yes . that would be great . thank you . carly : you know , i think the zen garden at the metro court would be a perfect place for your shoot . yes , and we 'll throw in lunch for the crew . not a problem at all . you 're welcome . yes , i 'll have our operations manager call you as soon as possible . bye . lulu : thank you . carly : i 'll let olivia handle it . lulu : so what 's up ? carly : you 're not going to like it when i tell you . lulu : okay . carly : sonny 's coming home . [ scene_break ] dante : what are you doing here ? jason : i 'm not talking out here . dante : interrogation room . jason : sonny called . he 's on his way back . he 's turning himself in . dante : and why the hell would he do that ? jason : he wants to prove he 's innocent . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey , chief , i need to sign out for a couple of hours , but i 'll be back for the third shift . steve : what 's wrong ? patrick : robin 's in the park , so i 'm just going to go talk to her for a minute . steve : all right . we 'll cover as long as it takes . patrick : thank you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : yes , my life has been completely upside - down since emily died . i 'm selfish , i work too much , i have control issues , and i tend to be ice cold at times . but just so we 're clear , just because convenience was the motivating factor behind me hiring you does n't mean that we ca n't go have a good time , enjoy each other , right ? but if that does n't work for you , it 's fine , too . brook lynn : hey , look . if you do n't want me to stay , just tell me . i mean , it 's no harm , no foul . nikolas : okay . i would like you to stay . but we have a lot of work to do if you 're going to be ready for a house party in the south of france . brook lynn : a lot of work , huh ? bring it on .

[ scene_break ] carly : are you sure you want to send all the calls to voicemail ? lulu : yeah . why is sonny coming back ? did he get caught ? carly : no . turning himself in . i guess he had a change of heart when he left the country , and he does n't want his kids to think that he could shoot an unarmed man after what happened to dante . lulu : dante was finally getting in a good place about this . he was acting like the whole investigation was just a formality . carly : maybe it is . lulu : you know what ? when sonny comes home , dante 's going to have to choose between his father and the badge . carly : why ? you just said that dante thinks sonny 's guilty -- lulu : dante does n't know what to think . he wants to believe sonny . what if he lies for him again ? what if he does something stupid to protect sonny , and what if this time , he gets caught ? [ scene_break ] johnny : those test results must be looking pretty good . feeling a lot better . steve : well , you 're resilient . i 'll give you that . johnny : well , i 've had good doctors . steve : [ chuckles ] you do n't have to say that . we 're letting you out in a couple of days , anyway . you should arrange for some home care for at least a week . would you like me to make the arrangements ? johnny : get back to you on that one . steve : no problem . johnny : so , you interested in taking care of me when i get out of here ? olivia : well , that depends . you interested in telling the truth about how you got shot ? [ scene_break ] dante : so where 's sonny been this whole time ? jason : you know i ca n't tell you that . dante : well , if he 's so innocent , why did he jump bail ? jason : why do n't ask sonny when you see him ? in the meantime , we have to find proof that johnny had a gun . dante : [ sighs ] the names spinelli came up with , these 5 made atm transactions in the neighborhood around the time of the shooting . maybe they saw something . i do n't know . jason : did you narrow down the timeframe ? dante : not yet . jason : when was johnny found ? dante : i do n't know . it 's in the report . jason : [ sighs ] i do n't believe this . dante : what , you found something ? jason : yeah . proof that sonny 's innocent . it 's been in this report the whole time . [ scene_break ] johnny : from what i hear , you did n't leave my side the whole time i was out . olivia : how come you 're avoiding the question ? johnny : is it true ? olivia : yes . johnny : hmm . i would n't have expected that you would have stayed . i would n't have expected anybody to stay . but for what it 's worth , no matter what happens with us , i 'll always be grateful for that . olivia : i 'm not hearing a good - bye in there somewhere . johnny : you 're not , not from me . i love you . i 'd love for you to take care of me when i got out of this place , and i would love to pay you back by taking you somewhere -- the islands , paris , somewhere you 've always wanted to go . olivia : then tell the truth , john . tell them what happened . you had a gun , you pulled it on sonny , you hesitated , and he shot you first , because that 's the life that you 've both chosen to live in . johnny : there was no gun . olivia : you 're telling me that you approached sonny unarmed ? johnny : you know about my reckless streak . olivia : you are lying . you always have a gun . i do n't know what happened to it . maybe it got lost or lifted , or it 's sitting in some police warehouse somewhere . you can end this all right now . just tell the truth . admit that you had a gun . call it even . drop this vendetta against sonny . let us stop having this same stupid argument over and over again , johnny . we could have a real future together . johnny : i 'd love that . olivia : but it 's not going to happen . [ sniffles ] you hate sonny so much that you ca n't even see what really matters anymore , not even when it 's looking you right in the face . [ scene_break ] lulu : i tie myself in knots trying to understand why dante would cover for a man who shot him . carly : any conclusion ? lulu : well , it took me a while , but i think it was because dante was fresh out of surgery . he just found out sonny was his father . and it sent him reeling . carly : that 's understandable . lulu : he could n't turn off this conflict that he was feeling and send sonny to prison . he had too much that he had to figure out . but for a while , i thought he would get past all the confusion because dante is all about upholding the law that sonny breaks every single day . carly : not always that clear - cut , especially with him . lulu : right , exactly , which is why i wish that sonny was n't dante 's family . to be honest , it 's why i wish that sonny never came back . you know , i thought , `` sonny 's jumped bail . he 's shown us who he really is . great . done . `` but that 's obviously too good to be true , because sonny is too all about sonny to just stay gone . he probably went wherever he was going and realized he could n't stand not being the center of everybody 's attention . carly : it 's sonny world , you know . we just live in it . lulu : i know . but dante puts on a gun every day , and he goes out there , and he finds bad people , and he brings them to justice . and that worries me , just like any woman who 's involved with a cop . but i am more worried about sonny and what he could do . what if he forces dante into a decision that he ca n't take back ? the badge means everything to him . so if he betrays that ... carly : [ sighs ] i wish i could be more encouraging , but you know , the truth is , dante will compromise himself again . he already did it once , lulu . he crossed the line for his father , and that makes it really easy to do again .

[ faith sighs ] faith : you wo n't have a wife if you do n't cooperate -- not that carly is any great loss . i mean , what has she ever caused you but trouble ? she is too trashy to be a trophy wife and she 's not smart enough to be anything else , like a real partner . like i could be , if you just give me the chance . you know , really , just think of it as the first step in moving up to the real deal , because i guarantee you in bed and everywhere else , i can provide more than carly ever did . sonny : if i want a whore in my bed , i will pay for one i can stand to touch . leave .

beth : because at this point it 's going to take some doing to undo the bond between luis and sheridan . that is why we need an ally -- somebody that will work with us and make sure that we are reunited with the people we love . antonio : and who would this ally be ? beth : mr. crane . alistair : please , call me alistair . my , what an adorable baby . is it yours ? sheridan : we 're going to do a d.n.a . test on the baby ? luis : that 's right , so we know for sure who both the parents are , ok ?

theresa : yeah . ethan : gwen set me free , free to be with you . theresa : really ? ethan : she realized that we were only married because she was pregnant and that although we 're both devastated over the loss of sarah , the death of our daughter was also the death of our marriage and there 's no way to fix it , just to end it . theresa : you mean it 's really -- it 's over between you guys ? ethan : yeah , finally . and now we can pick up where we left off that night at the bench . theresa : when you were going to propose to me . ethan : that 's the one . theresa : oh , ethan -- ethan : no , i know , i know this is not the most romantic place to ask you to marry me , but it 's going to have to do , because i 've waited too long . theresa , i did n't know it then , but i 've loved you since -- nce the day you spilled paint on me at that carnival . god knows it has n't been easy . yoyou 've lied , you 've kept secrets , you 've put my life in shambles ever since my mother hired you as a personal assistant , but no matter what you put me through , deep inside i never stopped loving you . i mean , how could i ? you -- you almost gave your life for mine when you thought i had killed julian . you named your son after me . you risked your life a second time to save me when that elevator crashed . everything you 've done for me has been because you love me . theresa : that 's true . that 's all true . ethan : and how can a man walk away from that ? forget a woman like you ? i do n't know . i know i can't . and the truth is the night that i got gwen pregnant i was making love to you . you were my one , and you are my true love . theresa : ethan -- ethan : so , will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man in the world ? will you marry me ? theresa : yes . of course . theresa : please let me have ethan . ethan : will you please just say you 'll stay with me , be my wife ? whitney : theresa . what are you doing ? theresa : i came to talk to ethan . whitney : why ? he already told you that it 's over between you two , that there 's absolutely no chance of you two being together . theresa : i know what he said , but i 'm just waiting to hear what gwen says . if she refuses , stands her ground -- fox : then you think you can be with ethan after all . whitney : theresa , leave them alone . theresa : i 'm not doing anything . i 'm just standing here . whitney : is that gwen 's wedding ring ? theresa : yeah . she threw it at me earlier , so i picked it up . whitney : yeah , i thought i saw you holding it before . theresa : i 'm holding it for -- for her . whitney : are you sure you 're not keeping it for yourself ? theresa : oh , god . whitney : please tell me you did n't have that sent here . theresa : no . no , i would never do something so cruel . fox : when eth a and gwen see that , it 's going to hit them like a ton of bricks . ethan : our future , our future can be wonderful if we 're just together to share it . please say you 'll stay with me . gwen : ethan -- ethan , i -- man : excuse me . i 'm sorry to interrupt , mrs . winthrop , but i was told your flight was leaving soon and i was to deliver this . gwen : oh , sarah . oh , sarah , your mommy misses you so much . ethan : your daddy misses you , too , sweetie . gwen : you miss sarah , huh ?

i got an idea -- why do n't you do us all a favor and leave ? alistair : luis , you may have fathered a child with sheridan , but you are n't her husband . your once - trusting brother antonio is . now , if he wants me to leave , then of course i 'll respect his wishes and do so . antonio ? antonio : sheridan wants you to stay , so stay . alistair : thank you , antonio . luis : what the hell is wrong with you ? have you forgotten that he and julian are responsible for papa 's disappearance ? antonio : there 's more to that story than you know , luis . luis : oh , really ? like what ? antonio : never mind . luis : no , not never mind . you know , when you first came back to harmony , you alluded to some sort of secret . now , did that have to do with his disappearance ? hey , look , come on , tell me . we can work together . we 'll find out what happened -- antonio : i 'm not going to work with you . after what you 've done , as far as i 'm concerned , you do n't exist anymore . pilar : luis , let your brother be for now . between finding out about you and sheridan and that the baby is not his , he 's in a lot of pain . he needs time to deal with this truth . luis : all right , look , i 'm sorry i got distracted . let 's just do the d.n.a . test and get this over with , all right ? beth : ok , luis , we need to talk about this first . lu : : no , we do n't , all right ? let 's just do this so sheridan can move on . beth : but the germs -- luis : beth , do n't worry , ok ? it 's going to be fine . i 'll go get the nurse . theresa : what is it ? what 's wrong ? ethan : you said it yourself , when you talked about how hard it would be for a couple to be together after the loss of a child , right ? theresa : yeah . i was saying that it would be difficult for gwen to get past that and come back to you , especially when she associates you so strongly with what happened with sarah . ethan : right , and if what you 're saying is true , if gwen ca n't get past sarah 's death to come back to me , then how can i get past sarah 's death to come back to you ? theresa : are you saying that you associate me with what happened with sarah ? ethan : do you honestly believe that gwen had no reason to confront you the day after she saw us kissing on tv and that if she had n't and if you would n't have defended yourself , she would n't have fallen , complicating her already risky pregnancy ? no , i did n't think so . and that is why we can never be together . you are a living reminder that my little girl is gone . so it 's over . accept it , because i have . gwen : fox , my poor little girl . my little sarah -- she 's never going to know -- she 's never going to know what it 's like to laugh . she 's not going to ever know joy , our love . all she 's going to know is a grave ! fox : shh , hey , gwen , no , no , come on . hey , listen , listen , sarah 's with god now , ok ? she 's with god now , and she knows only good things . she knows how much you love her . she knows how much you miss her , ok ? ok ? gwen , come with me , ok ? i mean , let 's go get some fresh air . gwen : ok . ok . fox : and you just lean on me whenever -- whenever , ok ? i 'm going to be here for you . gwen : ok . fox : come on . gwen : ok . fox : ok . whitney : fox , you are n't all the way my father sees the cranes , the way you 're helping gwen and saved us all from puff dog . you are a good man with a great heart and a wonderful friend . rebecca : ok , t.c . , here 's my news -- oh -- oh ! julian : you 're not going to open your mouth . you are not going to tell t.c . anything . luis : beth , let the nurse swab the baby 's mouth . alistair : nurse , do n't bother swabbing the baby 's mouth . luis : why not ? alistair : there 's no need to do a d.n.a . test . sheridan : father , what are you saying ? antonio : it 's a good question . luis : alistair , this is n't your call . beth : wait . mr. crane must have a reason for saying that . luis : well , i do n't care . no matter who the mother is , i 'm still the father , and as the father , i 'm the one who 's going to decide if we have a d.n.a . test , and i 'm deciding we 're having the test . alistair : luis , you misunderstand . i did n't mean to say you ca n't do a d.n.a . test . i 'm saying thadodoing the test is a waste of time . luis : no , it 's not . no matter what the outcome of the test is , it 's going to give sheridan peace of mind . now , if you care about sheridan like you say you do , then you 'll support the test . alistair : again , you do n't understand me , luis . luis : well , then , please clarify it for me . alistair : very well . i say that performing the d.n.a . test is a waste of time for one reason and one reason only . luis : and that reason is ? alistair : i know exactly where sheridan 's baby is . sheridan : what ? sam : it 's all coming together perfectly . goodbye , grace . rebecca : you are going to hear what i have to say , and nothing is going to stop me . alistair : i know everything , beth , everything . mrs. wallace : no one crosses alistair and gets away with it . | liz watches rebecca with joy while she plots to tell t.c . the truth . eve has the support of julian . ethan goes to gwen and does all he can to try and win her back . meanwhile , theresa watches and prays that gwen will reject him . chad is no where to found . fox uses his disappearance to get close to a distraught whitney . | <s>[INST] fox : he just gave up on you . chad : do me a favor ? fox : sure , anything . chad : well , go back to harmony , and take care of whitney until i get my act together and come and get her . fox : ok . ok , yeah , sure , i 'll take -- i 'll take real good care of whitney for you . chad : all right . thank you . whitney : it 's probably for the best . i did n't want to see chad anymore anyway , right ? fox : oh , well , no wonder he said he was going to go see latoya . whitney : but she was arrested for trying to kill me . fox : yeah , i do n't know , whitney . i guess chad still loves his wife . ethan : tell me you do n't feel that . i feel your heart pounding , your body tingling . that 's because we love each other . it 's because we 're meant to be with each other . i know it in my heart . i know you feel it in yours . theresa : no . you love me . ethan : do n't turn your back on our love , not when we need each other the most . we can get through this . our love can get us through this , and we can spend the rest of our lives together , solely with each other , loving only one another . rebecca : so , t.c . , wait till you hear my news . it is going to blow you away . t.c . : rebecca , what could you possibly s t to me that would affect me one way or the other ? rebecca : well , you 're going to find out . it 's just that this is such big news , i want to make sure it comes out the right way . t.c . : would you just get to the point and tell me . rebecca : t.c . , just be patient . just give me a second to gather my thoughts . liz : be still , my beating heart , but did rebecca catch you and julian in a kiss ? so this is where your life ends as you know it , here , in los angeles , where your secret , sordid past with julian is finally revealed . oh ! oh , my goodness sake , it 's hooray for hollywood . beth : i can make it happen , antonio . i can get back with luis , and i can get you back with sheridan , we need a strong ally -- a very strong ally . antonio : beth , why do you think that we need someone else to get back with the people we love ? beth : because at this point it 's going to take some doing to undo the bond between luis and sheridan . that is why we need an ally -- somebody that will work with us and make sure that we are reunited with the people we love . antonio : and who would this ally be ? beth : mr. crane . alistair : please , call me alistair . my , what an adorable baby . is it yours ? sheridan : we 're going to do a d.n.a . test on the baby ? luis : that 's right , so we know for sure who both the parents are , ok ? sheridan : oh , luis , thank you . thank you so much . luis : all right , but look , i do n't want to give you false hope , all right ? chances are we 're going to find out that beth is the baby 's mother . now , sheridan , you have to know that going into this . sheridan : no , luis , my heart is telling me that this is my baby , our baby . look , you 'll see . so , when can we do the test ? doctor : i 'll call the lab now to make the arrangements . nurse , will you please go get a test kit ? nurse : oh , yes , doctor . mrs. wallace : finally , luis and sheridan will know the truth -- that beth stole their baby . thank you . thank you , angels , for making my loony daughter lose out to luis and sheridan 's love ! 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 th a d whitney : how stupid am i to fall for the same lies over and over again , saying that he wanted to get back with me and then telling you that he was going to go see latoya ? fox : i think he just got sucked back into his old life , you know ? why else would he run back to latoya the second he found out you two were through ? whitney : you know what ? i 've got to get over this . i got to put all of this behind me , because if i do n't , if i keep thinng about it , i 'm just going to drive myself crazy . fox : yeah , you are , you are . whitney , look , chad really did n't give you a choice . you got to move on , ok ? whitney : right . fox : this is important . i do n't want you to think that you 're going to do this alone because you 're not going to do it alone . i 'm going to be here for you . i 'm going to be here for you every step of the way , ok ? whitney : thank you , fox . you know , i do n't know what i would do without you . fox 's voice : i have anything to do with it , you 'll never be without me again . ethan : i know you feel that . do you feel that , the heat and that passion that we have when we 're together ? it can always be that way . we can have a wonderful life together if you 'll just tell me that you 'll stay with me and be my wife forever . julian : rebecca , now , listen to me . you ca n't ruin eve 's life simply because i kissed her . rerebecca : it was more than a kiss . she was trying to steal you away from me . julian : that is not true . she 's committed to t.c . and to her family . rebecca : oh , julian , really . if that were true , she would n't have been tongue wrestling with you . what i saw here only confirmed what i had thought all along -- that you were in love with some other woman from your past . it just never occurred to me that it could be eve . i mean , when you risked your life saving her from being sucked out of an airplane , that should have been a clue . but i still did n't think it could be eve . i mean , she 's just so pure and good . i never imagined she could be involved with the likes of you . so leave me alone , julian . i need a few minutes to gather my thoughts , because i want to bring eve down for good once and for all . and you , too . i ca n't wait till t.c . hears this news because he is going to beat you to a bloody pulp -- yet again . oh , and if you think you 're going to get the ring back , forget it . eve : just get away from me , liz . i 'm not in the mood to have you gloat over my problems . julian : damn it , liz , stop it . i ca n't believe the joy you get out of seeing your sister suffer . liz : well , you better believe it , julian . my sister left me in the hands of our abusive father , so it is time she got her comeuppance . t.c . : eve , do you know what this is all about ? do you know why rebecca 's being so dramatic on what she wants to tell me ? eve : well , i -- t.c . : honey ? sweetheart , are you all right ? are you not feeling well ? is that why you did n't go into the hospital and check on gwen ? rebecca : well , it 's time for becky tells all . eve , why do n't you get right over here ? you two will wantoto be together when you hear my news . t.c . : rebecca , why ? rebecca : oh , you 'll see , because what i have to say is a real eye opener . antonio : alistair , what are you doing here ? alistair : why , i came to see my daughter , of course . beth , dear , could you tell me which one of these cubicles sheridan is in ? beth : yeah . she 's in there . alistair : thank you . i have to make a brief phone call , but i 'll be back . would you be so kind as to tell sheridan i 'll be in to see her shory ? y ? beth : sure , mr . -- alistair . alistair : antonio , welcome back to harmony . beth : why do you think alistair 's really here ? antonio : i do n't know . running for father of the year , i guess . luis : look , i 'm sorry i got to put you through this trouble . i just want to give sheridan some closure . now , once -- once sheridan knows the truth , i can focus on finding our bab- -- dead or alive . doctor : look , luis , there 's nothing to apologize for . i think this d.n.a . test is a good idea . mrs. wallace : i do , too . pilar : i agree . it may be hurtful now , but in the long run sheridan will benefit from knowing the truth . luis : yeyeah . nurse : doctor , i 'm ready to get a sample of the baby 's d.n.a . sheridan : well , have beth bring the baby in here . mrs. wallace : yeah , and you better do it quickly , too . sheridan : uh - huh . luis : hey . beth : hey . sheridan , you should know that -- what ? luis : oh , we 're going to do a d.n.a . test on the baby . beth : a d.n.a . test ? mrs. wallace : that 's right , bethie , a d.n.a . test , so everyone will know for sure who the mother of that baby is . rebecca : so , t.c . , brace yourself . it seems that it -- [ sirens ] rebecca : oh . sick people are so annoying ! t.c . : never mind . i do n't have time for this . we have a plane to catch . rebecca : t.c . , you 've got to hear me out . t.c . : no . i need to get my family back to harmony , away from l.a . rebecca : yeah , but this is important . t.c . : no . what 's important is that my family gets back home and away from julian . now , i 'm going to find whitney , i 'm getting the hell out of here . rebecca : look , but what i have to say is going to change everything . liz : eve , go and stop t.c . ! rebecca 's not going to rest until she tells him the truth about you and julian . now , you might as well go and get it over with once and for all . whitney : oh , my god . that ca n't be what i think it is . fox : no , i 'm afraid it is . whitney : we 'd better follow him and see what 's going on . theresa : let him go , gwen . leave him free to be with me . ethan : theresa . i see you ilill have gwen 's ring . theresa : i was keeping it for her . ethan : give it to me . theresa : you guys made up ? she forge you for loving me and what happened with sarah ? ethan : i did n't come out here to discuss gwen with you . i came out here to get the ring . now , may i please have it ? theresa : of course . ethan : theresa ? theresa : yeah . ethan : gwen set me free , free to be with you . theresa : really ? ethan : she realized that we were only married because she was pregnant and that although we 're both devastated over the loss of sarah , the death of our daughter was also the death of our marriage and there 's no way to fix it , just to end it . theresa : you mean it 's really -- it 's over between you guys ? ethan : yeah , finally . and now we can pick up where we left off that night at the bench . theresa : when you were going to propose to me . ethan : that 's the one . theresa : oh , ethan -- ethan : no , i know , i know this is not the most romantic place to ask you to marry me , but it 's going to have to do , because i 've waited too long . theresa , i did n't know it then , but i 've loved you since -- nce the day you spilled paint on me at that carnival . god knows it has n't been easy . yoyou 've lied , you 've kept secrets , you 've put my life in shambles ever since my mother hired you as a personal assistant , but no matter what you put me through , deep inside i never stopped loving you . i mean , how could i ? you -- you almost gave your life for mine when you thought i had killed julian . you named your son after me . you risked your life a second time to save me when that elevator crashed . everything you 've done for me has been because you love me . theresa : that 's true . that 's all true . ethan : and how can a man walk away from that ? forget a woman like you ? i do n't know . i know i can't . and the truth is the night that i got gwen pregnant i was making love to you . you were my one , and you are my true love . theresa : ethan -- ethan : so , will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man in the world ? will you marry me ? theresa : yes . of course . theresa : please let me have ethan . ethan : will you please just say you 'll stay with me , be my wife ? whitney : theresa . what are you doing ? theresa : i came to talk to ethan . whitney : why ? he already told you that it 's over between you two , that there 's absolutely no chance of you two being together . theresa : i know what he said , but i 'm just waiting to hear what gwen says . if she refuses , stands her ground -- fox : then you think you can be with ethan after all . whitney : theresa , leave them alone . theresa : i 'm not doing anything . i 'm just standing here . whitney : is that gwen 's wedding ring ? theresa : yeah . she threw it at me earlier , so i picked it up . whitney : yeah , i thought i saw you holding it before . theresa : i 'm holding it for -- for her . whitney : are you sure you 're not keeping it for yourself ? theresa : oh , god . whitney : please tell me you did n't have that sent here . theresa : no . no , i would never do something so cruel . fox : when eth a and gwen see that , it 's going to hit them like a ton of bricks . ethan : our future , our future can be wonderful if we 're just together to share it . please say you 'll stay with me . gwen : ethan -- ethan , i -- man : excuse me . i 'm sorry to interrupt , mrs . winthrop , but i was told your flight was leaving soon and i was to deliver this . gwen : oh , sarah . oh , sarah , your mommy misses you so much . ethan : your daddy misses you , too , sweetie . gwen : you miss sarah , huh ? ethan : gwen , of course i -- gwen : you have the nerve to stand there and say that you miss sarah when you 're partly to blame for her death ? ethan : wait a minute , wait a minute . sarah 's my daughter , too , all right , and i love her , and i always will . gwen : yeah , but you loved theresa more . that 's why you were n't there for sarah when she needed you . that 's why you were n't there for me when i needed you , because you were with theresa ! ethan : i admitted to you i made a mistake , but we can work through it . we can get through this together . gwen : ethan , we ca n't ! no , we ca n't ! seeing sarah 's casket -- my god , i mean , this brings everything back , you know , your lies and your cheating ! ethan , i ca n't ever trust you again ! ethan : gwen , gwen , please . please , our kiss , we -- gwen : oh , god , ethan , please . just go , ok ? ethan : i love you ! gwen : ethan , damn it , ethan , just go ! it 's over , ok ? just go ! get out of my sight and just leave me here with my baby ! gwen : oh , my sarah , my little girl ! my sarah ! my poor little girl ! my sarah , my little girl ! [ gwen cries ] rebecca : t.c . , wait ! do n't leave ! eve : well , it 's no surprise that you want rebecca to tell t.c . about julian and me . you 're hoping that he 'll come to you for comfort . liz : oh , please , he will come to me , eve . but my point is , what is the use of dragging it out ? just get it over with . if rebecca tells t.c . now , it 's like ripping off a band - aid really quickly instead of drawing it out slow and ininfully . julian : i 'll support you no matter what you decide . eve : oh , julian , it 's been more than 20 years . i just do n't want this hanging over my head any longer , not another minute . t.c . ! t.c . , i think that you should hear what rebecca has to say . t.c . : i do n't give a damn what rebecca or julian have to say . liz : oh , but , t.c . , you know , if you do n't hear rebecca out , she 'll just hound you until you 're forced to listen . t.c . : all right . if it 'll shut rebecca up , i will listen to what she has to say . liz : you made a very wise decision . it 's not often the condemned gets to pick their own execution date . julian : now , are you really ok with this ? eve : the truth is going to come out anyhow . it might as well come out now . julian : courage , my love . you 're not alone . we 'll face t.c . 's rage together . rebecca : ok , t.c . , listen up , because i am about to rock your world . beth : why do a d.n.a . test ? luis : well , because i want to give sheridan peace of mind . look , beth , i just want to reassure her that you do n't have her baby , ok ? it 's not a big deal . beth : it is to me , luis . that 's why i refused to let our baby 's d.n.a . be tested before when the police were going house to house searching for sheridan 's baby . i am concerned about germs . ok , what if martin gets an inftition when they swab his mouth ? nurse : oh , that wo n't happen . the swab is sterile , see ? luis : come here , beth . hey , we all know that this is our baby , ok ? beth : mm - hmm . luis : we just need for sheridan to know that . now , you see how badly she 's dealing with the loss of her baby , ok ? now , doing this test is just going to help her deal with the reality of the situation . ok ? beth : so we do n't have to actually do the test ? let 's just tell her that we did and that the baby is ours . luis : beth -- beth : no , and d.n.a . tests are expensive , right ? we 're not rich like sheridan . luis : do n't worry about the cost , ok ? i 'll work something out . doctor : beth , if you 'll hold the baby , the nurse will swab the inside of his mouth , and i 'll go alert the lab that the sample will be down for analysis shortly . luis : great . exhausted to the extreme ? singer : you are my passion for life rebecca : look , t.c . , brace yourself . what you do n't know is -- [ sirens ] rebecca : oh . now what ? cher got a wrinkle ? t.c . : you know what ? enough . rebecca : what -- t.c . , wait . t.c . : hanging around here is crazy . i 'm going to get whitney and tell her that we 're leaving soon . rebecca : but -- but -- but there must be a lounge or something in the hospital where we can talk so the sirens do n't drown me out . liz : yes , i 'm sure there is . t.c . : all right , i will find you after i talk to whitney , and then we 're getting out of here , because -- you know what ? you better be quick and you better make this good , because i 'm not standing around here much longer . this whole trip has been a nightmare . rebecca : t.c . does n't know that his nightmare has just begun . theresa : m must be horrible for ethan to see sarah 's casket . fox : for both ethan and gwen , right ? whitney : theresa , are you sure that are n't responsible for sarah 's coffin being delivered to eth and gwen at the exact same time that they 're about to reconcile ? theresa : how could you think i would do something so cruel , whitney ? whitney : honestly , i do n't know what to think anymore , theresa . you carried on with ethan behind gwen 's back , knowing how risky her pregnancy was . and no matter how many times , no matter how many people ask you to leave ethan alone , you 're still here , hoping and waiting that you 're going to end up with him , honey . theresa : well , you got it wrong . does n't she , fox ? whitney : hi , daddy . are we ready to leave for the airport ? t.c . : sweetheart , not yet . rebecca says she has some big announcement to make , said it 'll rock my world . whitney : what ? well , what do you think it could be ? t.c . : honey , i have no idea . but your mother , liz , and julian are with rebecca right now , waiting for me to come back . so as soon as she 's finished rocking my world , we can get the hell out of here , all right ? whitney : ok . fox 's voice : wrong , coach . when you find our your wife and my father were an item once and still could be , you 'll forget all about making that flight , which gives me more time to make whitney mine . theresa : are you all right ? ethan : they brought sarah 's casket in , and we were close to reconciling . and she saw it , and it was horrible . fox : hey , come on , let 's go check on gwen , ok ? ethan : you know , i do n't know what i was thinking , trying to smooth things out for gwen . how is she ever going to get over losing sarah and come back to me ? theresa : i 'm sorry , ethan . but i have to agree with you . losing a child can tear a couple apart , especially when one person blames the other . i mean , it 's almost impossible for that couple to ever be a couple again . ethan : you 're right , theresa . it 's over . gwen : oh , fox , my poor little girl . my poor little baby girl . she 's not lying in her crib like other babies . she 's lying here . she 's in a coffin . my little girl is dead . my little girl 's dead . pilar : alistair . alistair : buenos noches , lalar . and congratulations on being a grandmother yet again . luis : alistair . to what do we owe the pleasure ? alistair : oh , did n't beth tell you ? i 've come to see my daughter . luis : so where were you when she was missing ? because as i recall , you did n't lift a finger to help her . alistair : i 'm here now , my dear , here for you in your time of need . sheridan : fath - -- luis : alistair did n't come here because of sheridan . he does n't give a damn about her or the baby . pilar : you 're right , mijo . there 's got to be some other reason alistair 's here . luis : oh , yeah . but what ? beth 's voice : having alistair here made luis forget about testing the baby 's d.n.a . i 'm off the hook . mrs. wallace : hey , luis may be distracted now , but that is not going to last for long . eventually , he 's going to insist that they take the baby 's d.n.a . when those results are in , oh , missy , you are going to be out of luck and headed to prison where you belong . excitement ] theresa : ethan , i agree with you . i do n't know how gwen 's ever going to get over losing her baby , much less the feeling that you were responsible for her baby 's death . i do n't know how anyone who loses a child could ever be with someone they felt so connected to their child 's death . it would always be there between them , yes , like a wound that never heals . no couple , no matter how much they love each other , could ever live with that kind of tension between them . it just would n't work . ethan : i totally agree with you . theresa : what is it ? i mean , why are you looking at me like that ? julian : are you certain that you still want rebecca to tell t.c . about us ? eve : yes . i want this to be over with . i 'm tired of living with these lies . i 'm tired of wondering when and where i 'm going to be exposed . i want to be free , julian , free at long last , and consequences be damned . julian : my brave , beautiful eve . is it any wonder i love you ? eve : we 'll see how brave i am when t.c . finds out the truth . julian : you 'll rise to the occasion , i 'm sure . i 'll stake my life on it . with rebecca goading t.c . on , i may very well have to . t.c . : all right , rebecca , here i am . what 's your big news ? make it quick , because we have a plane to catch . rebecca : well , i hope your flight is refundable , t.c . t.c . : why ? rebecca : you 'll see . come on . why do n't you stand right here next to eve . there you go . pookie , next to liz . t.c . : will you just get on with it ? rebecca : ok . here goes , the moment i 've been waiting for . sheridan : i 've missed you , father . alistair : and i you , my dear . luis : liar . you do n't give a damn about sheridan . you never have . hey , you know what ? i got an idea -- why do n't you do us all a favor and leave ? alistair : luis , you may have fathered a child with sheridan , but you are n't her husband . your once - trusting brother antonio is . now , if he wants me to leave , then of course i 'll respect his wishes and do so . antonio ? antonio : sheridan wants you to stay , so stay . alistair : thank you , antonio . luis : what the hell is wrong with you ? have you forgotten that he and julian are responsible for papa 's disappearance ? antonio : there 's more to that story than you know , luis . luis : oh , really ? like what ? antonio : never mind . luis : no , not never mind . you know , when you first came back to harmony , you alluded to some sort of secret . now , did that have to do with his disappearance ? hey , look , come on , tell me . we can work together . we 'll find out what happened -- antonio : i 'm not going to work with you . after what you 've done , as far as i 'm concerned , you do n't exist anymore . pilar : luis , let your brother be for now . between finding out about you and sheridan and that the baby is not his , he 's in a lot of pain . he needs time to deal with this truth . luis : all right , look , i 'm sorry i got distracted . let 's just do the d.n.a . test and get this over with , all right ? beth : ok , luis , we need to talk about this first . lu : : no , we do n't , all right ? let 's just do this so sheridan can move on . beth : but the germs -- luis : beth , do n't worry , ok ? it 's going to be fine . i 'll go get the nurse . theresa : what is it ? what 's wrong ? ethan : you said it yourself , when you talked about how hard it would be for a couple to be together after the loss of a child , right ? theresa : yeah . i was saying that it would be difficult for gwen to get past that and come back to you , especially when she associates you so strongly with what happened with sarah . ethan : right , and if what you 're saying is true , if gwen ca n't get past sarah 's death to come back to me , then how can i get past sarah 's death to come back to you ? theresa : are you saying that you associate me with what happened with sarah ? ethan : do you honestly believe that gwen had no reason to confront you the day after she saw us kissing on tv and that if she had n't and if you would n't have defended yourself , she would n't have fallen , complicating her already risky pregnancy ?

[ previously_on ] mariah : i supported you when you told me that you and nick were getting back together . so right now i 'd really like you to do the same . and i do n't know where this relationship is going , but i want to find out . lily : does my sentence start right after the hearing tomorrow ? michael : i 'm afraid that 's how it works . christine : mrs. ashby has pled guilty to two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle . charges punishable up to 20 years ' imprisonment and a combined fine of $ 50,000 . devon : she completely disregarded the safety of not only everybody in the car with her , but everyone she was sharing the road with . my sister needs to answer for what she has done , to the fullest extent of the law . on the issue of sentencing in this case , i have reached a decision . will the defendant please rise ? having weighed the evidence , the statements made , and the circumstances prior to and after the fatal incident that took the lives of hilary curtis - hamilton and her unborn child , i have reached a decision . the deceased can no longer speak for themselves , so it is the duty , the solemn responsibility of this court to deliver justice for them . therefore , after careful deliberation ... i sentence you to -- devon : i ca n't let this happen . mariah : why did you want to talk down here ? sharon : because we need to discuss tessa . nick is due back tomorrow . obviously she ca n't stay here . mariah : after everything tessa went through to get her sister out of the country , you just want to kick her out ? sharon : i sympathize . but ... mariah : tessa risked everything to make sure crystal was set up with a new life , that she was safe . tessa has no job . no money . and she lost her apartment . she 's basically starting from scratch . sharon : and i appreciate that . but ... mariah : she came back to be with me . me . sharon : do n't say that like you 're not worthy . anyone in their right mind would move mountains to be with you . and do n't you forget it . mariah : do you see the way that you just stood up for me ? where is that understanding and that compassion when it comes to tessa ? sharon : you are my daughter . and she 's not . you 're my priority . and i do n't want tessa taking advantage . mariah : mom , do you want me to be happy ? sharon : i do . i really mean it . mariah : okay , great . she makes me happy . and she risked everything to come back here because ... she says that i make her happy , too . sharon : well , that 's wonderful , sweetheart , but -- wait . what do you mean ? what did she risk to come back here ? mariah : i mean , i just mean the people that she was dealing with that helped get crystal out of the country , that 's all . sharon : she said she was done with them . that that 's behind her . you see , i do n't entirely believe her story about what happened when she was gone . mariah : okay -- sharon : which makes me reluctant to have her stay here . christine : your honor , i apologize for mr . hamilton 's outburst . he was overcome . please forgive the interruption . devon : no , there 's more that i need to say . i understand feelings are running high here , but i 've reached my ruling . michael : your honor , with all due respect , since mr . hamilton is the party most deeply affected by these circumstances , perhaps he -- he should be heard . christine : he was heard . he 's obviously upset . devon : i lost the woman that i love , okay ? i think that `` upset `` does n't even begin to cover it . christine : your honor -- i 'll allow it . but please be brief and to the point . devon : i really appreciate this . um ... when i was writing the statement that i gave earlier , it took me a very long time to get through it , because every time i would get to the word `` defendant , `` i would think of my sister as the person i know her to be . and that 's a strong girl who befriended a poor kid and gave him a family . and i - i did n't want to think of her like that , so i just pushed through , and ... by the time i got to the end of it , the word `` defendant `` just became this faceless person that i was able to blame and hate . and , your honor , that is why i was able to ask for the maximum sentence . and then you said that the deceased do n't get to speak for themselves . but i literally ca n't get my wife 's voice out of my head right now . and this is not what she would want . it 's ... [ sighs ] i was so focused on getting justice for her and my child that i completely blinded myself to the person that gave me a family in the first place , and who gave me the dream to even have kids of my own . i was there when her children were born . i saw their first steps . i heard their first words . and i ca n't imagine them going into adulthood now without their mother by their side , and knowing that i 'm the reason for that . she 's not a stranger . she 's my sister , and i know that the same grief , and the same pain that i feel , she feels it , too . and knowing how deeply she loves , the guilt from this is gon na stay with her for the rest of her life . i have no doubt of that . and i believe -- and i know that hilary would agree -- that that 's punishment enough . so i 'm asking you to please let that be enough . additional sponsorship tessa : i 'm glad i caught you before work . i - i 'm leaving today , and i just wanted to say thank you for letting me crash here . especially after the way i just showed up and scared you guys . mariah : hey , you 're the one that had a gun pulled on you . sharon : oh , i want to apologize again for rey 's overreaction . tessa : well , hey , at least he did n't shoot me . mariah : where are you gon na go ? tessa : i 'm considering a few different options . mariah : tessa , you 're just doing this because you heard us talking . tessa : hey , i - i came back to see you . i - i did n't expect to move in . mariah : why not ? at least for a little bit ? you need help . i want to help you . tessa : it -- it 's not your house . plus i really do n't want to disrupt sharon and nick 's lives . mariah : tessa , you have nowhere else to go . tessa : i 'll figure something out . sharon : you 're very resourceful . tessa : look ... after everything i 've done , i understand why you do n't trust me . mariah : i believe in you . tessa : which makes me very lucky . sharon : you are . you know , it 's not often someone gets a second chance to make things right . tessa : which is why i came back . sharon : i do n't want to be late for work , so , um ... i 'll be at crimson lights if you need me . tessa : well , i got to get moving , too . i got to find a job and a place to live . mariah : are you sure about what you said ? about coming back to be with me ? tessa : 100 % . mariah : and you 'll stay ? tessa : i want to . but i owe a lot of money . mariah : yeah . i just do n't know how you 're gon na get that much cash together . tessa : you know , hey , do n't worry about it . somehow , i will find a way . because i never want to have to be on the run again . and i never want to run away from you again . i want to know why you changed your mind after your earlier statement . devon : i thought about it . thought ? that was your motivation ? or were you pressured in some way by members of your family ? devon : no . no , your honor . not at all . this is 100 % on me . so what you 're now saying is that everything that you said before was just a waste of this court 's time ? you do know that i can hold you in contempt ? devon : i did not , but ... [ stammers ] your honor , the -- the problem with grief is that what 's true constantly changes . do i think that lily was wrong to get behind the wheel being so angry ? yes , i do . do i think that the years leading up played a part in it ? absolutely . but if i 'm being honest , it 's what hilary and lily always did . they were always going at each other . they were always provoking one another . and if hilary had been driving the car and lily had died ... my sister made a fatal mistake . but i think putting her behind bars would just be another wrong done . what are you asking of this court ? devon : you know , i - i would -- i would really just like to be free . i would like to be free to mourn my wife and my child . i 'd like to be free to honor hilary by leaving the kind of mark in the world that i know she would have if she were still alive . and if i know that i 'm part of the reason that my sister goes to jail for 20 years , there will be no freedom for me . in light of mr . hamilton 's revised statement , i 'm going to need more time to reconsider . this court is in recess . we 'll reconvene within the hour . [ raps gavel ] christine : did the judge get it right ? did your family pressure you into this ? nate : no , devon made it clear that those were his words , and no one else 's . christine : i 'm not so sure about that . charlie : this is really good , right ? mattie : maybe he 'll rule as you suggested -- community service and a fine ? michael : i would n't count on it . cane : well , why not ? i mean , what he said must carry some weight . michael : cane a crime has been committed . lily : you can say it plainer than that . two people died because of me . cane : baby , do n't -- lily : that 's what happened . michael : look , it could help us . it may not . if the judge sticks to the letter of the law ... lily : well , what devon said may not matter to the judge . but to me , it was everything . charlie : hey . what are you doing over here by yourself ? shauna : i - i do n't want to bug devon . and your family , you all must be feeling a little bit more hopeful after what devon said . charlie : uh ... yeah . i mean , the judge told us not to go over there until we know my mom is n't going to prison . so this is n't over . not that it 'll ever be over . nate : hey . what you did ... that took courage , man , and a lot of heart . devon : the judge did n't seem very impressed , so who knows if it even made a difference . nate : hey , it made a difference to this family . look , i tried not to judge you by what you said in your initial statement , and , uh ... i know it was hard to hear . and i know you 're going through hell . both you and lily are suffering . and , uh ... everyone in this family wants it to stop . devon : it hasn't . nate : i know . i know . but , uh , this will start the process . lily : thank you . for what you said . devon : i do n't forgive you for what you did . lily : i understand . devon : do you really ? 'cause i do n't think there 's ever gon na be coming back from this for us . lily : i will accept whatever you feel about me . but just know that i will never stop loving you . or trying to make amends . shauna : devon ? devon : i need to go . shauna : but what about the -- devon : just please get a ride with nate , all right ? cane : hey , where are you going ? devon : i ca n't be here . nate : i 'll go after him . cane : no , i 'll do it . i 'll do it . mattie : but the judge -- cane : i 'll be back before he returns , all right ? tessa : i - i meant every word that i said . i came back here to be with you . but the situation up north ... my life is still complicated . and maybe it always will be . mariah : you know , you keep giving me that warning . but whose life is n't complicated ? tessa : just be honest , okay ? if being with me is too much , if -- if you just want to take a step back before this goes any further ... mariah : is that what you want ? tessa : no . i - i told you what i want . but i 'm not the only one in this . this is about you . okay ? if you have any doubts , i - i -- i just want you to listen to them . mariah : okay . hm ... mm ... nope . nothing . it 's typical , really . tessa : [ chuckles ] i 'm serious . mariah : and so am i. i do n't have any bursts of instinct or feelings in my gut about this . and when it comes to relationships , i 'm kind of floating in the abyss . tessa : that 's not true . mariah : i grew up with a man who preached a lot about `` love `` and `` deep connection `` and people opening up their hearts ... when all he really wanted was for people to open up their wallets . tessa : there had to be someone you were close to . mariah : not really . no . my mother -- the woman who i thought was my mother , she could kind of take me or leave me . which she told me . often . but ... i actually found that refreshing . at least it was honest . tessa : yeah , but did n't you want ... mariah : love ? yes , of course . tessa : yeah . mariah : desperately . uh ... i wanted something real . that was all mine . and i tried to get it . i really tried . uh ... i do n't know . i guess i just , uh ... was ill - equipped because of my past . tessa : so , uh , you mock it , make a joke out of it ... mariah : [ inhales sharply ] yeah . yeah , i guess it 's easier to have people laugh at you than find out there 's a piece of you that 's , um ... missing or broken . that 's how i 've always felt . like ... i could n't really put my heart out there . because if i did , then people would really see me . really , really see me , and then they 'd realize , and they would just run in the other direction . tessa : hey , hey . i ran back , not away . toward you . mariah : but now you 're giving me an out . tessa : only because i want you to be sure . i want you to want this . not just tag along and get tangled in my mess . mariah : fun fact -- when it comes to untangling messes , i 'm kind of a professional . [ chuckles ] i want you . i do . i promise . but ... tessa : tell me . mariah : i just want to take a few steps back . i think i need to go slow . tessa : then that 's what we 'll do . mariah : okay . so , how do we get you ... [ tessa laughs ] ... settled in town ? tessa : okay . well , uh , i need to make some money . and , uh ... hm . i , uh -- i wonder if ... i could get my job back at hamilton - winters ? mariah : yeah ... with the way that you left and everything that devon is going through , obviously , i -- tessa : yeah , i was , uh -- i was afraid of that . mariah : the bigger hassle is that you have nowhere to live . no prospects . tessa : well , i 've been there before , and i 've survived . but this time i have you . mariah : yeah . you do . [ gasps ] i ... have an idea . tessa : okay ... mariah : come on . tessa : all right . shauna : this must be a good sign , that the judge is taking so long . nate : ah , there 's no way to predict . charlie : yeah . sure . [ clears throat ] i got to stretch my legs . uh ... you do n't think what my uncle devon said will make a difference ? michael : um , uh , charlie ... there are many other factors the judge must consider . charlie : it 's kind of weird this one guy gets to decide my mom 's life . michael : well , now , that 's why the judge asked to take more time . review evidence , perhaps research precedents . precedents are similar cases that might help the judge decide the right thing to do . charlie : it 's kind of hard to believe there 's anything similar to this . michael : you can ask me anything , charlie . charlie : did i mess up ? by not saying anything , seeing my mom run the red light , i - i -- i feel like i made things worse . michael : charlie ... it 's impossible to say . lily : you know , every time i catch myself wishing that this would be over , that the judge would just hurry up ... [ sighs ] but then i realize , if the worst happens , i do n't want to wish away my last few minutes with you . mattie : i know it seems that way right now , but these are n't our last few minutes . you heard uncle devon 's speech . how could the judge not be swayed by that ? lily : i know . even if it does n't affect my sentence , i needed to hear those words from devon . mattie : we all did . he reminded us that , through anything , we 're a family , and nothing can tear us apart . and the judge will take every detail of his statement into account . i believe that , when he walks through that door , he 'll give you a fair ruling . devon : you should be there when the judge gets back , cane . cane : i know that we have a long way to go before we can even get close to repairing the damage that 's been done . but whatever happens , we need to be there together when we face this , devon . devon : if you think that i regret speaking up for lily , i don't . cane : then why did you leave ? devon : because i do n't want to be there if there 's good news . i do n't need to see everybody happy and hugging each other and carrying on . it 's gon na make me feel like we 're celebrating . cane : okay . so , what ? you came here to do work or something like that ? what are you doing ? devon : no . no . i 'm ... looking at photos of my wife . i 'm looking at memories . our child 's sonogram photo . i miss her . cane : we all miss her . devon : well , i 'm sure you can explain to lily . cane : [ sighs ] devon : what is it ? cane : i 'm so scared of what this judge is gon na do . he could tear our family apart , and there is nothing i can do to stop it . so what i need is for you to be in that room . 'cause i need your strength or i need your pretense or i need your superstition or i need your prayer , 'cause i have somehow have to let god know he can not send my wife and the mother of my children to prison for 20 years . devon : cane , you know that i would do anything in the world for my family , but i ca n't -- cane : i know . and you 've already done it . you 've already done it . and you have no idea how much i appreciate it . okay . okay . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : can i get you anything else ? devon : no , thank you , sharon . just needed a place to be , that 's all . sharon : lily 's sentencing . that 's today , is n't it ? devon : it 's happening right now . sharon : right now ? as in ... ? devon : they 're waiting for the judge to come back with a decision . sharon : and you testified ? devon : i did . yeah . i gave an impact statement . and then , in the end , i asked for leniency . which is probably what the judge is gon na go along with . and then my sister will be able to go back home to her husband and her kids . sharon : and you ? devon : i mean , hilary will still be gone . my child will still be gone , so ... sharon : so you 're thinking your family is going to move on , forget . devon : i think they already have . i really do . 'cause i ca n't even mourn . they keep pushing me to do what 's best for them when i 'm the one who 's lost my wife and child . sharon : feel free to tell me to butt out , but if the first place you go is resentment and anger when you think of them , it 's not your family who 's dishonoring hilary and the baby . it 's you . when my daughter cassie died , i ca n't tell you how many times i wondered why i am still on this planet . having the car washed . making the beds . folding laundry . even the simplest tasks just made me miss her more . and i did n't dare laugh or smile . sometimes even just breathing felt like i was betraying her , because ... she was n't here , and i was . devon : and when did that change for you ? sharon : when i got pregnant with faith . she gave me a reason to at least act at happy . and then one day i was . devon : so , what are you telling me ? i need to start a family ? sharon : i 'm telling you that you need to cherish the family that you already have while they 're still here . what if the judge sends lily to prison ? devon : no , he 's not gon na do that . sharon : but what if he does and you 're not there ? what then ? devon : then she 'll have cane , and she 'll have the kids with her . sharon : well , if i were lily , and i were sentenced to 20 years in prison , i would first take that moment with my husband and my kids , and then i would be looking for you . devon : why ? sharon : because you 're the only one who 's loved lily for that long . you have her her past . and in a future where she wo n't be able to care for her loved ones , she 's gon na need to know that you will . cane : hey . nate : still no word from the judge . cane : [ sighs ] lily : did you find devon ? cane : yeah . i told him we all want him to be here . lily : he would n't come ? cane : he can't . [ sighs ] hey . hey . listen . all right , he needs some space . okay ? all right ? lily : yeah , but what if -- cane : all right , you 're not gon na go to prison , all right ? and devon is the one who gave us that gift . and that 's all we can ask for , okay ? it 's okay . sharon : what is going on ? tessa : i 'm wondering the same thing . mariah : i 'm trying to set tessa up , and we came to you because you 're smart and you 're resourceful . sharon : and i am engaged to a man who 's part owner of rainbow garden apartments ? mariah : yeah . see ? you 're -- you 're also , you know , a problem solver . sharon : unfortunately , the space that you were in has been rented . the whole complex is full . there 's a long waiting list . mariah : i - is n't there a way to -- to talk to nick , to convince him to -- tessa : no , no , no . nick does n't owe me a thing , okay ? i took off without warning and broke my lease . mariah : yeah , for good reason . nick is an understanding guy . sharon : with a limit . mariah : um ... would you give us a minute ? mariah : is there any way to convince nick into giving tessa an apartment ? sharon : i repeat -- the whole complex is full . what do you want me to do ? ask him to throw someone else out on the street ? mariah : no ! god , of course not . it 's ... we 're family . and family helps each other out , right ? that 's what you 're always saying . sharon : well , you 're not asking me to help you . mariah : no . i am asking you to help someone that i care about more than i have cared about anybody in my entire life . that is helping me . sharon : after everything that she did to you and your brother -- mariah : she has made some bad moves , yes . but the only reason that tessa has less than nothing right now is because she decided that saving her sister 's life was more important than leaving a good impression . mariah : you have doubts . so do i . sharon : well , in that case ... mariah : no . you know me . blind trust , it 's not my thing . and everything that i feel for tessa , it is scary , and it 's amazing all at the same time . sharon : all the more reason for you to think this through . mariah : i 'm riding the brakes , i - i promise . and i second - guess myself every other minute . but maybe you 're just too good at being a mom . you convinced me that i should n't let my fear of love stop me from anything , ever . sharon : so you 're saying this is all my fault ? mariah : or maybe it 's the most brilliant thing you 've ever taught me . mom . i 'm doing this . it would just be nice for you to be standing by me saying , `` yay ! `` instead of , `` you 're gon na crash and burn . `` sharon : i do n't mean to . i 'm just worried . mariah : well , maybe you could make things easier on me by keeping an eye on things . sharon : how ? mariah : you could offer tessa a couple shifts here as a barista . sharon : oh , mariah -- mariah : just until she makes some money and can set herself up again . sharon : [ sighs ] mariah : please ? sharon : i 'm thinking . mariah : think faster . sharon : okay . [ sighs ] mariah : great ! yes ! sharon : before you get too excited , do n't you think you should find out how tessa feels about this ? michael : thank you . it 's time . take your seats . cane : hey . you 'll be okay . i had carefully weighed this matter -- the tragic repercussions of one moment of inattention by the defendant . a woman 's life was lost , as well as that of her unborn child . a young man 's life was put at risk due to negligence . my deliberation was further complicated by the fact that the defendant and the victims belong to the same family . nevertheless , i had reached my decision . and then mr . hamilton revised his impact statement , and that decision changed . tessa : are -- are you sure ? sharon : i am . if you 're willing to make a commitment . tessa : i am . i am . thank you . sharon : i 'll check the schedule and find some time when we can go over the hours and duties and all the rest of it . tessa : okay . mariah : all right . i want you to make me my favorite brew right now . tessa : okay . mariah : and then we can find you a place to live . tessa : um ... just ... thank you . thank you for -- for looking out for me . mariah : yeah . i am glad to do it , and i am glad that you 're here . tessa : i hope i never let you down . what must take precedence in the delivery of this sentence is the acknowledgement of lives lost . justice must be served for mrs . hamilton and her unborn child . please rise . the maximum sentence for homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle is 10 years for each count . however , factoring in all that i 've heard today , including mr . hamilton 's moving words , mrs . ashby , you will be assessed a fine of $ 50,000 . your driving privileges will be suspended for a period of two years . and i 'm sentencing you to 12 months in the walworth state penitentiary . the bailiff will take mrs . ashby into custody . this court is adjourned . michael : christine , please . call off the bailiff just long enough for them to say goodbye . christine : yeah . michael : thank you . christine : lily was lucky to get a short sentence . michael : that 's what i told them . but for lily , that 's gon na seem like a lifetime . [ lily and mattie crying ] nate : listen , you know you can count on me . i 'll do everything i can to help , okay ? lily : okay . devon : i did n't want this to happen to you . and i 'm sorry for everything that i said . i really am . lily : you did more than i could have hoped for . more than i deserved . [ sobs ] | devon changed his statement in court and asked the judge not to imprison lily . devon told lily that he still did n't forgive her . it meant the world to lily that devon asked the judge to be lenient , and she accepted that he could n't forgive her . devon tried to skip the rest of the sentencing , and cane was n't able to convince him to return . sharon urged devon to cherish the family he still had left . devon took her advice and went back to the courthouse . lily was sentenced to a year in prison , along with a $ 50,000 fine and a two year suspended license . mariah tried to talk sharon out of kicking tessa out of the cottage . sharon did n't trust tessa . tessa understood sharon 's feelings , so she moved out without complaint . tessa agreed to mariah 's request that they take their relationship slow . mariah asked sharon to talk nick into giving tessa an apartment at rainbow gardens . sharon said all the units were full . mariah convinced sharon to hire tessa at crimson lights until she got back on her feet . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] mariah : i supported you when you told me that you and nick were getting back together . so right now i 'd really like you to do the same . and i do n't know where this relationship is going , but i want to find out . lily : does my sentence start right after the hearing tomorrow ? michael : i 'm afraid that 's how it works . christine : mrs. ashby has pled guilty to two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle . charges punishable up to 20 years ' imprisonment and a combined fine of $ 50,000 . devon : she completely disregarded the safety of not only everybody in the car with her , but everyone she was sharing the road with . my sister needs to answer for what she has done , to the fullest extent of the law . on the issue of sentencing in this case , i have reached a decision . will the defendant please rise ? having weighed the evidence , the statements made , and the circumstances prior to and after the fatal incident that took the lives of hilary curtis - hamilton and her unborn child , i have reached a decision . the deceased can no longer speak for themselves , so it is the duty , the solemn responsibility of this court to deliver justice for them . therefore , after careful deliberation ... i sentence you to -- devon : i ca n't let this happen . mariah : why did you want to talk down here ? sharon : because we need to discuss tessa . nick is due back tomorrow . obviously she ca n't stay here . mariah : after everything tessa went through to get her sister out of the country , you just want to kick her out ? sharon : i sympathize . but ... mariah : tessa risked everything to make sure crystal was set up with a new life , that she was safe . tessa has no job . no money . and she lost her apartment . she 's basically starting from scratch . sharon : and i appreciate that . but ... mariah : she came back to be with me . me . sharon : do n't say that like you 're not worthy . anyone in their right mind would move mountains to be with you . and do n't you forget it . mariah : do you see the way that you just stood up for me ? where is that understanding and that compassion when it comes to tessa ? sharon : you are my daughter . and she 's not . you 're my priority . and i do n't want tessa taking advantage . mariah : mom , do you want me to be happy ? sharon : i do . i really mean it . mariah : okay , great . she makes me happy . and she risked everything to come back here because ... she says that i make her happy , too . sharon : well , that 's wonderful , sweetheart , but -- wait . what do you mean ? what did she risk to come back here ? mariah : i mean , i just mean the people that she was dealing with that helped get crystal out of the country , that 's all . sharon : she said she was done with them . that that 's behind her . you see , i do n't entirely believe her story about what happened when she was gone . mariah : okay -- sharon : which makes me reluctant to have her stay here . christine : your honor , i apologize for mr . hamilton 's outburst . he was overcome . please forgive the interruption . devon : no , there 's more that i need to say . i understand feelings are running high here , but i 've reached my ruling . michael : your honor , with all due respect , since mr . hamilton is the party most deeply affected by these circumstances , perhaps he -- he should be heard . christine : he was heard . he 's obviously upset . devon : i lost the woman that i love , okay ? i think that `` upset `` does n't even begin to cover it . christine : your honor -- i 'll allow it . but please be brief and to the point . devon : i really appreciate this . um ... when i was writing the statement that i gave earlier , it took me a very long time to get through it , because every time i would get to the word `` defendant , `` i would think of my sister as the person i know her to be . and that 's a strong girl who befriended a poor kid and gave him a family . and i - i did n't want to think of her like that , so i just pushed through , and ... by the time i got to the end of it , the word `` defendant `` just became this faceless person that i was able to blame and hate . and , your honor , that is why i was able to ask for the maximum sentence . and then you said that the deceased do n't get to speak for themselves . but i literally ca n't get my wife 's voice out of my head right now . and this is not what she would want . it 's ... [ sighs ] i was so focused on getting justice for her and my child that i completely blinded myself to the person that gave me a family in the first place , and who gave me the dream to even have kids of my own . i was there when her children were born . i saw their first steps . i heard their first words . and i ca n't imagine them going into adulthood now without their mother by their side , and knowing that i 'm the reason for that . she 's not a stranger . she 's my sister , and i know that the same grief , and the same pain that i feel , she feels it , too . and knowing how deeply she loves , the guilt from this is gon na stay with her for the rest of her life . i have no doubt of that . and i believe -- and i know that hilary would agree -- that that 's punishment enough . so i 'm asking you to please let that be enough . additional sponsorship tessa : i 'm glad i caught you before work . i - i 'm leaving today , and i just wanted to say thank you for letting me crash here . especially after the way i just showed up and scared you guys . mariah : hey , you 're the one that had a gun pulled on you . sharon : oh , i want to apologize again for rey 's overreaction . tessa : well , hey , at least he did n't shoot me . mariah : where are you gon na go ? tessa : i 'm considering a few different options . mariah : tessa , you 're just doing this because you heard us talking . tessa : hey , i - i came back to see you . i - i did n't expect to move in . mariah : why not ? at least for a little bit ? you need help . i want to help you . tessa : it -- it 's not your house . plus i really do n't want to disrupt sharon and nick 's lives . mariah : tessa , you have nowhere else to go . tessa : i 'll figure something out . sharon : you 're very resourceful . tessa : look ... after everything i 've done , i understand why you do n't trust me . mariah : i believe in you . tessa : which makes me very lucky . sharon : you are . you know , it 's not often someone gets a second chance to make things right . tessa : which is why i came back . sharon : i do n't want to be late for work , so , um ... i 'll be at crimson lights if you need me . tessa : well , i got to get moving , too . i got to find a job and a place to live . mariah : are you sure about what you said ? about coming back to be with me ? tessa : 100 % . mariah : and you 'll stay ? tessa : i want to . but i owe a lot of money . mariah : yeah . i just do n't know how you 're gon na get that much cash together . tessa : you know , hey , do n't worry about it . somehow , i will find a way . because i never want to have to be on the run again . and i never want to run away from you again . i want to know why you changed your mind after your earlier statement . devon : i thought about it . thought ? that was your motivation ? or were you pressured in some way by members of your family ? devon : no . no , your honor . not at all . this is 100 % on me . so what you 're now saying is that everything that you said before was just a waste of this court 's time ? you do know that i can hold you in contempt ? devon : i did not , but ... [ stammers ] your honor , the -- the problem with grief is that what 's true constantly changes . do i think that lily was wrong to get behind the wheel being so angry ? yes , i do . do i think that the years leading up played a part in it ? absolutely . but if i 'm being honest , it 's what hilary and lily always did . they were always going at each other . they were always provoking one another . and if hilary had been driving the car and lily had died ... my sister made a fatal mistake . but i think putting her behind bars would just be another wrong done . what are you asking of this court ? devon : you know , i - i would -- i would really just like to be free . i would like to be free to mourn my wife and my child . i 'd like to be free to honor hilary by leaving the kind of mark in the world that i know she would have if she were still alive . and if i know that i 'm part of the reason that my sister goes to jail for 20 years , there will be no freedom for me . in light of mr . hamilton 's revised statement , i 'm going to need more time to reconsider . this court is in recess . we 'll reconvene within the hour . [ raps gavel ] christine : did the judge get it right ? did your family pressure you into this ? nate : no , devon made it clear that those were his words , and no one else 's . christine : i 'm not so sure about that . charlie : this is really good , right ? mattie : maybe he 'll rule as you suggested -- community service and a fine ? michael : i would n't count on it . cane : well , why not ? i mean , what he said must carry some weight . michael : cane a crime has been committed . lily : you can say it plainer than that . two people died because of me . cane : baby , do n't -- lily : that 's what happened . michael : look , it could help us . it may not . if the judge sticks to the letter of the law ... lily : well , what devon said may not matter to the judge . but to me , it was everything . charlie : hey . what are you doing over here by yourself ? shauna : i - i do n't want to bug devon . and your family , you all must be feeling a little bit more hopeful after what devon said . charlie : uh ... yeah . i mean , the judge told us not to go over there until we know my mom is n't going to prison . so this is n't over . not that it 'll ever be over . nate : hey . what you did ... that took courage , man , and a lot of heart . devon : the judge did n't seem very impressed , so who knows if it even made a difference . nate : hey , it made a difference to this family . look , i tried not to judge you by what you said in your initial statement , and , uh ... i know it was hard to hear . and i know you 're going through hell . both you and lily are suffering . and , uh ... everyone in this family wants it to stop . devon : it hasn't . nate : i know . i know . but , uh , this will start the process . lily : thank you . for what you said . devon : i do n't forgive you for what you did . lily : i understand . devon : do you really ? 'cause i do n't think there 's ever gon na be coming back from this for us . lily : i will accept whatever you feel about me . but just know that i will never stop loving you . or trying to make amends . shauna : devon ? devon : i need to go . shauna : but what about the -- devon : just please get a ride with nate , all right ? cane : hey , where are you going ? devon : i ca n't be here . nate : i 'll go after him . cane : no , i 'll do it . i 'll do it . mattie : but the judge -- cane : i 'll be back before he returns , all right ? tessa : i - i meant every word that i said . i came back here to be with you . but the situation up north ... my life is still complicated . and maybe it always will be . mariah : you know , you keep giving me that warning . but whose life is n't complicated ? tessa : just be honest , okay ? if being with me is too much , if -- if you just want to take a step back before this goes any further ... mariah : is that what you want ? tessa : no . i - i told you what i want . but i 'm not the only one in this . this is about you . okay ? if you have any doubts , i - i -- i just want you to listen to them . mariah : okay . hm ... mm ... nope . nothing . it 's typical , really . tessa : [ chuckles ] i 'm serious . mariah : and so am i. i do n't have any bursts of instinct or feelings in my gut about this . and when it comes to relationships , i 'm kind of floating in the abyss . tessa : that 's not true . mariah : i grew up with a man who preached a lot about `` love `` and `` deep connection `` and people opening up their hearts ... when all he really wanted was for people to open up their wallets . tessa : there had to be someone you were close to . mariah : not really . no . my mother -- the woman who i thought was my mother , she could kind of take me or leave me . which she told me . often . but ... i actually found that refreshing . at least it was honest . tessa : yeah , but did n't you want ... mariah : love ? yes , of course . tessa : yeah . mariah : desperately . uh ... i wanted something real . that was all mine . and i tried to get it . i really tried . uh ... i do n't know . i guess i just , uh ... was ill - equipped because of my past . tessa : so , uh , you mock it , make a joke out of it ... mariah : [ inhales sharply ] yeah . yeah , i guess it 's easier to have people laugh at you than find out there 's a piece of you that 's , um ... missing or broken . that 's how i 've always felt . like ... i could n't really put my heart out there . because if i did , then people would really see me . really , really see me , and then they 'd realize , and they would just run in the other direction . tessa : hey , hey . i ran back , not away . toward you . mariah : but now you 're giving me an out . tessa : only because i want you to be sure . i want you to want this . not just tag along and get tangled in my mess . mariah : fun fact -- when it comes to untangling messes , i 'm kind of a professional . [ chuckles ] i want you . i do . i promise . but ... tessa : tell me . mariah : i just want to take a few steps back . i think i need to go slow . tessa : then that 's what we 'll do . mariah : okay . so , how do we get you ... [ tessa laughs ] ... settled in town ? tessa : okay . well , uh , i need to make some money . and , uh ... hm . i , uh -- i wonder if ... i could get my job back at hamilton - winters ? mariah : yeah ... with the way that you left and everything that devon is going through , obviously , i -- tessa : yeah , i was , uh -- i was afraid of that . mariah : the bigger hassle is that you have nowhere to live . no prospects . tessa : well , i 've been there before , and i 've survived . but this time i have you . mariah : yeah . you do . [ gasps ] i ... have an idea . tessa : okay ... mariah : come on . tessa : all right . shauna : this must be a good sign , that the judge is taking so long . nate : ah , there 's no way to predict . charlie : yeah . sure . [ clears throat ] i got to stretch my legs . uh ... you do n't think what my uncle devon said will make a difference ? michael : um , uh , charlie ... there are many other factors the judge must consider . charlie : it 's kind of weird this one guy gets to decide my mom 's life . michael : well , now , that 's why the judge asked to take more time . review evidence , perhaps research precedents . precedents are similar cases that might help the judge decide the right thing to do . charlie : it 's kind of hard to believe there 's anything similar to this . michael : you can ask me anything , charlie . charlie : did i mess up ? by not saying anything , seeing my mom run the red light , i - i -- i feel like i made things worse . michael : charlie ... it 's impossible to say . lily : you know , every time i catch myself wishing that this would be over , that the judge would just hurry up ... [ sighs ] but then i realize , if the worst happens , i do n't want to wish away my last few minutes with you . mattie : i know it seems that way right now , but these are n't our last few minutes . you heard uncle devon 's speech . how could the judge not be swayed by that ? lily : i know . even if it does n't affect my sentence , i needed to hear those words from devon . mattie : we all did . he reminded us that , through anything , we 're a family , and nothing can tear us apart . and the judge will take every detail of his statement into account . i believe that , when he walks through that door , he 'll give you a fair ruling . devon : you should be there when the judge gets back , cane . cane : i know that we have a long way to go before we can even get close to repairing the damage that 's been done . but whatever happens , we need to be there together when we face this , devon . devon : if you think that i regret speaking up for lily , i don't . cane : then why did you leave ? devon : because i do n't want to be there if there 's good news . i do n't need to see everybody happy and hugging each other and carrying on . it 's gon na make me feel like we 're celebrating . cane : okay . so , what ? you came here to do work or something like that ? what are you doing ? devon : no . no . i 'm ... looking at photos of my wife . i 'm looking at memories . our child 's sonogram photo . i miss her . cane : we all miss her . devon : well , i 'm sure you can explain to lily . cane : [ sighs ] devon : what is it ? cane : i 'm so scared of what this judge is gon na do . he could tear our family apart , and there is nothing i can do to stop it . so what i need is for you to be in that room . 'cause i need your strength or i need your pretense or i need your superstition or i need your prayer , 'cause i have somehow have to let god know he can not send my wife and the mother of my children to prison for 20 years . devon : cane , you know that i would do anything in the world for my family , but i ca n't -- cane : i know . and you 've already done it . you 've already done it . and you have no idea how much i appreciate it . okay . okay . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : can i get you anything else ? devon : no , thank you , sharon . just needed a place to be , that 's all . sharon : lily 's sentencing . that 's today , is n't it ? devon : it 's happening right now . sharon : right now ? as in ... ? devon : they 're waiting for the judge to come back with a decision . sharon : and you testified ? devon : i did . yeah . i gave an impact statement . and then , in the end , i asked for leniency . which is probably what the judge is gon na go along with . and then my sister will be able to go back home to her husband and her kids . sharon : and you ? devon : i mean , hilary will still be gone . my child will still be gone , so ... sharon : so you 're thinking your family is going to move on , forget . devon : i think they already have . i really do . 'cause i ca n't even mourn . they keep pushing me to do what 's best for them when i 'm the one who 's lost my wife and child . sharon : feel free to tell me to butt out , but if the first place you go is resentment and anger when you think of them , it 's not your family who 's dishonoring hilary and the baby . it 's you . when my daughter cassie died , i ca n't tell you how many times i wondered why i am still on this planet . having the car washed . making the beds . folding laundry . even the simplest tasks just made me miss her more . and i did n't dare laugh or smile . sometimes even just breathing felt like i was betraying her , because ... she was n't here , and i was . devon : and when did that change for you ? sharon : when i got pregnant with faith . she gave me a reason to at least act at happy . and then one day i was . devon : so , what are you telling me ? i need to start a family ? sharon : i 'm telling you that you need to cherish the family that you already have while they 're still here . what if the judge sends lily to prison ? devon : no , he 's not gon na do that . sharon : but what if he does and you 're not there ? what then ? devon : then she 'll have cane , and she 'll have the kids with her . sharon : well , if i were lily , and i were sentenced to 20 years in prison , i would first take that moment with my husband and my kids , and then i would be looking for you . devon : why ? sharon : because you 're the only one who 's loved lily for that long . you have her her past . and in a future where she wo n't be able to care for her loved ones , she 's gon na need to know that you will . cane : hey . nate : still no word from the judge . cane : [ sighs ] lily : did you find devon ? cane : yeah . i told him we all want him to be here . lily : he would n't come ? cane : he can't . [ sighs ] hey . hey . listen . all right , he needs some space . okay ? all right ? lily : yeah , but what if -- cane : all right , you 're not gon na go to prison , all right ? and devon is the one who gave us that gift . and that 's all we can ask for , okay ? it 's okay . sharon : what is going on ? tessa : i 'm wondering the same thing . mariah : i 'm trying to set tessa up , and we came to you because you 're smart and you 're resourceful . sharon : and i am engaged to a man who 's part owner of rainbow garden apartments ? mariah : yeah . see ? you 're -- you 're also , you know , a problem solver . sharon : unfortunately , the space that you were in has been rented . the whole complex is full . there 's a long waiting list . mariah : i - is n't there a way to -- to talk to nick , to convince him to -- tessa : no , no , no . nick does n't owe me a thing , okay ? i took off without warning and broke my lease . mariah : yeah , for good reason . nick is an understanding guy . sharon : with a limit . mariah : um ... would you give us a minute ? mariah : is there any way to convince nick into giving tessa an apartment ? sharon : i repeat -- the whole complex is full . what do you want me to do ? ask him to throw someone else out on the street ? mariah : no ! god , of course not . it 's ... we 're family . and family helps each other out , right ? that 's what you 're always saying . sharon : well , you 're not asking me to help you . mariah : no . i am asking you to help someone that i care about more than i have cared about anybody in my entire life . that is helping me . sharon : after everything that she did to you and your brother -- mariah : she has made some bad moves , yes . but the only reason that tessa has less than nothing right now is because she decided that saving her sister 's life was more important than leaving a good impression . mariah : you have doubts . so do i . sharon : well , in that case ... mariah : no . you know me . blind trust , it 's not my thing . and everything that i feel for tessa , it is scary , and it 's amazing all at the same time . sharon : all the more reason for you to think this through . mariah : i 'm riding the brakes , i - i promise . and i second - guess myself every other minute . but maybe you 're just too good at being a mom . you convinced me that i should n't let my fear of love stop me from anything , ever . sharon : so you 're saying this is all my fault ? mariah : or maybe it 's the most brilliant thing you 've ever taught me . mom . i 'm doing this . it would just be nice for you to be standing by me saying , `` yay ! `` instead of , `` you 're gon na crash and burn . `` sharon : i do n't mean to . i 'm just worried . mariah : well , maybe you could make things easier on me by keeping an eye on things . sharon : how ? mariah : you could offer tessa a couple shifts here as a barista . sharon : oh , mariah -- mariah : just until she makes some money and can set herself up again . sharon : [ sighs ] mariah : please ? sharon : i 'm thinking . mariah : think faster . sharon : okay . [ sighs ] mariah : great ! yes ! sharon : before you get too excited , do n't you think you should find out how tessa feels about this ? michael : thank you . it 's time . take your seats . cane : hey . you 'll be okay . i had carefully weighed this matter -- the tragic repercussions of one moment of inattention by the defendant . a woman 's life was lost , as well as that of her unborn child . a young man 's life was put at risk due to negligence . my deliberation was further complicated by the fact that the defendant and the victims belong to the same family . nevertheless , i had reached my decision . and then mr . hamilton revised his impact statement , and that decision changed . tessa : are -- are you sure ? sharon : i am . if you 're willing to make a commitment . tessa : i am . i am . thank you . sharon : i 'll check the schedule and find some time when we can go over the hours and duties and all the rest of it . tessa : okay . mariah : all right . i want you to make me my favorite brew right now . tessa : okay . mariah : and then we can find you a place to live . tessa : um ... just ... thank you . thank you for -- for looking out for me . mariah : yeah . i am glad to do it , and i am glad that you 're here . tessa : i hope i never let you down . what must take precedence in the delivery of this sentence is the acknowledgement of lives lost . justice must be served for mrs . hamilton and her unborn child . please rise . the maximum sentence for homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle is 10 years for each count . however , factoring in all that i 've heard today , including mr . hamilton 's moving words , mrs . ashby , you will be assessed a fine of $ 50,000 . your driving privileges will be suspended for a period of two years . and i 'm sentencing you to 12 months in the walworth state penitentiary . the bailiff will take mrs . ashby into custody . this court is adjourned . michael : christine , please . call off the bailiff just long enough for them to say goodbye . christine : yeah . michael : thank you . christine : lily was lucky to get a short sentence . michael : that 's what i told them . but for lily , that 's gon na seem like a lifetime . [ lily and mattie crying ] nate : listen , you know you can count on me . i 'll do everything i can to help , okay ? lily : okay . devon : i did n't want this to happen to you . and i 'm sorry for everything that i said . i really am . lily : you did more than i could have hoped for . more than i deserved .
