if you let me go , then you look innocent . dr. obrecht : things are difficult , yes . now is the time when one 's faith is tested . and i have faith in faison . robin : well , you 're going to be very disappointed . because faison is a treacherous man . and he only cares about himself . he will save himself , and he 'll blame you for everything . dr. obrecht : no . faison will not compromise his plan . he 'll find a way to remedy the situation . robin : if my parents know that faison is alive , it 's only a matter of time before they figure out the rest -- that i am alive and that faison is the one that took me . dr. obrecht : it 's too random . robin : trust me , dr. obrecht . you do not want anna devane and robert scorpio to find me shackled to a bed . you do n't want me to have to explain to them that you are the one that held me prisoner . if you want to get out of this alive -- you have to let me go . dr. obrecht : you may have a point . i have no choice -- but to eliminate you . robert : do n't do this , anna . please . i mean -- anna : no , i ignored my instincts before . i overlooked inconsistencies , and i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . robert : what inconsistencies ? anna : all right , hear me out . when i came into this room , faison is in here , right ? and he had this thug , uh -- oh , god , what was his name ? oh , it was klaus . of course it was klaus . so klaus brings duke into this room . he 's all bound and gagged . and he 's being held at gunpoint . and this man that i thought was duke , he 's fighting against his restraints , and he 's trying to tell me something . and -- and that 's when faison says to klaus to shoot him . and i go for the gun , and i try to get it . robert : well , that was staged . anna : yes . exactly . right . at that point , faison drugs me , and i 'm out . and then when i come to , now faison has got this whole mask back on again as duke , and this klaus person is lying here . he 's dead . `` duke `` says he shot him and that `` faison `` escaped . robert : so what 's the problem ? anna : who was that man -- that was duke ? who was the man being held at gunpoint ? robert : we went through all of this . faison came in , stuck the duke mask on a henchman . anna : right . of course . because anybody could look like duke if they had that mask on . but what if there 's another possibility ? robert : well , wait a minute . you -- you 're not buying -- anna : listen . what if duke lavery -- is alive ? what if that was him ? robert : faison had this planned down to the last detail . he needed you to see him with duke . so the best thing was to slap a mask on one of the henchmen . anna : right . i know . it 's vintage faison . robert : why do n't you want to believe that ? anna : well , because when faison was posing as duke , you know , he was n't just some mute person . he knew things , right ? he knew things about me , duke , conversations , places we 'd been , things that only duke and i would know . robert : but this is faison . you do n't think he 's capable of getting such a thorough dossier ? anna : right . i know . but i was also wondering why when luke went to turkey that the story checked out . robert : but wait . luke said he could n't disprove lavery 's story . anna : right . maybe because -- duke lavery had actually been in that turkish prison . robert : wait , wait . faison 's more than capable of bribing people and falsifying records . anna : but what if -- what if there 's another possibility ? what if duke had been held captive in that turkish prison and faison had found him there and he questioned him and he got all this information out of him ? and maybe -- i do n't know . maybe he took a mold of his face and -- 'cause that would explain why that mask is so perfect ! robert : look , all he needs is good software and a decent lab , and he can fabricate anyone 's face . but let 's call interpol . anna : no , you know , there 's something else . it 's been bothering me . when klaus brought duke into this room , there was a look in his eyes -- something that had been missing . duke -- when he came in here , he was struggling to tell me something , and he was fighting . he was trying to save me . and i recognized his eyes . they were duke 's . robert : okay . i do n't think you 're right about this , but -- i know where we can go get some answers . dr. obrecht : you said so yourself it 's only a matter of time before your parents find you here , and when they do , they 'll destroy everything faison strove to accomplish . robin : it 's already been destroyed . that 's why you have to think about this , and you have to save yourself . dr. obrecht : yes . that 's why i ca n't risk the authorities learning of your existence . i fear the only solution is for you to die . robin : no , killing me is not gon na fix anything , and if you let me go , i 'll tell my parents , and i 'll plead for leniency . dr. obrecht : leniency ? from robert scorpio ? the man is ruthless to his enemies , a legend among the spies . no . he 'll want faison to pay , and he 'll want me to pay , as well . as for your mother -- i never understood faison 's obsession . but i know she 's dangerous . and i imagine she 'd be merciless to a woman that harmed her precious child . robin : my parents pay their debts . if you save me , they will owe you . dr. obrecht : i 'm afraid you are right after all , robin . it 's time to cut my losses . robin : please , you ca n't . dr. obrecht : i must decide what to do , and quickly . they 'll be coming here soon . you 're not the only one i have to deal with . robin : what ? what do you mean ? who else are you holding here ? who ? who 's here ? ! felix : well , what you waiting for ? come on . it 's bad luck if you do n't kiss . patrick : uh -- all right . okay . is that mistletoe ? felix : that sneaky bitch . britt : could n't let that go to waste . whew . shift 's over . um , should n't the two of you be heading to new york ? felix : do n't you mean the three of us ? you 're coming with us , are n't you ? dante : ma , what are you doing in here ? olivia : i asked the guy where you were . he pointed over this way . dante : yeah , so what ? you do n't bother to knock ? olivia : how many times you think i changed your diapers ? you think you got something there i have n't seen ? dante : not like this ! you have n't seen it like this ! olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . i just wanted to tell you that i love you and i am with you every step of the way . dante : awesome . that 's great . i just do n't need you during this step , okay ? olivia : i got it . break a leg ! [ exhales sharply ] maxie : what ? why are you worried about me ? i 'm not the one with visions of dancing schnauzers in her head . mac : you probably have a lot that you 're concerned about . maxie , it 's a lot easier to focus your energies on something that wo n't happen rather than something that will . maxie : what could be more concerning than thinking i 'm carrying a pekingese ? mac : maybe the fact that you 're about to have an invasive medical procedure . and once that 's over , you 're gon na give up the next nine months of your life to go through childbirth and pregnancy . maxie : we 've already talked about this , and you support me . mac : are you sure you want to go through with this ? it 's not too late to change your mind . maxie : it was my idea . when lulu first told me she was having a difficult time finding a surrogate , i volunteered . mac : and i understand you want to help your friends . it 's a noble gesture . but this is n't about lulu and dante and their wish to have a child . it 's about you . maxie : and that 's exactly who i 'm worried about . me . i 'm worried i might screw this up . mac : what are you talking about ? how can you possibly screw things up ? maxie : i would n't mean to . i ate blackberry jam . maxie : what ? maxie , you 're allergic . maxie : i know i 'm allergic . i was n't paying attention . mac : you seem fine now . maxie : i am fine . i had a rash for a few hours . it was acute , but it was n't a big deal . mac : maybe you want to tell me what is . maxie : i get distracted . i lose track of things . maybe next time it wo n't be jam . it 'll be something more important , something life - altering . mac : like what ? maxie : i do n't know , okay ? but dante and lulu , they 're putting their faith in me . they 're trusting me with their child . i might not deserve that . mac : hey , i happen to think you 're gon na be the best , most responsible , most nurturing surrogate ever . maxie : you do . mac : i do . but that does n't mean you have to go through with it . at the end of the day , this is still your decision . maxie : even if i wanted to back out , which i do n't , how would i ever tell dante and lulu something like that ? i would never want to disappoint them . mac : [ sighs ] sweetheart , i wish i could stay and talk this out with you , but i 've got to go pick up emma . maxie : is she okay ? mac : yeah , she 's fine . no matter what , i ca n't make this decision for you . but you have to be truthful to yourself , to lulu and dante . if you do n't want to carry their child , tell them now so they can find someone else . maxie : and hate me forever . mac : they 'll be hurt , but they 'll get over it . sweetheart , they 're your friends . as much as they want to have a child , they also want what 's best for you . just like me . i 've got to go . all right , listen -- no matter what you decide , i support you . maxie : bye . mac : bye . maxie : [ sighs ] olivia : hey ! honey , i 'm gon na go over to the cafeteria . you want something to drink ? lulu : uh , dante and i -- olivia : oh , i know . i saw him . he 's doing just great !

[ scoffs ] olivia : okay . um -- i - i sort of did have a - a vision of the baby -- as a dog . mac : a dog ? olivia : well -- maxie : you mean like a - a dog dog ? olivia : [ chuckles ] no . it 's not a dog dog ? it 's actually more like a -- a -- puppy . maxie : which is a baby dog . oh , my god . i 'm gon na give birth to a puppy . olivia : [ laughing ] no , no . honey , the puppy that i saw in my vision , it 's not gon na be a puppy like that in real life . maxie : how do you know this ? olivia : well , for one thing , because -- mac : because ? olivia : because it just spoke to me . maxie : oh , my god . i 'm gon na be pregnant with a talking dog . olivia : uh -- you know what , you guys ? it 's gotten late , and i promised dante and lulu that i was gon na meet them over at the hospital , so i got to go over there and give them all of the moral support that i can . so you guys enjoy your lunch . all right ? wish us luck ! later ! felix : sorry , girlfriend . the detective needs his private time . lulu : you 're not doing that with other women . dante : what are you talking about , `` other women `` ? felix : i 'll leave you to sort this out . lulu : i do n't want you making our baby with another woman . dante : you have a real problem with this , do n't you ? look , i 'm not actually gon na be having sex with them . lulu : yeah , i know that . that 's not the point . i know we 're not doing this the most traditional way , but that does n't mean i want you doing it with some woman that you 've never met , watching -- `` hold the diploma . `` i mean , is that who you want to think of every time you look at our son or daughter ? is that what you want to tell them when they ask you how they came to be ? dante : that 's funny . look , i was n't , `` a , `` gon na go into detail with him or her , and i 've done this before when i had my sperm - count test . lulu : yeah , that was just to check you out . this is about making life . this is our baby . this is sacred . i do n't want you with those slutty women in your head . dante : okay . okay . i wo n't watch any films . i wo n't look at any magazines . i will only think about you . lulu : you promise ? dante : i promise . lulu : thank you . dante : [ sighs ] lulu : good luck . dante : thanks . i 'm gon na need it . britt : hi ! what are we so excited about ? sabrina : the nurses ' ball . britt : uh , am i missing something ? i was under the impression that there was no funding , that it was on hold . patrick : no , it is back from the dead because of sabrina . britt : wow ! that 's great ! sabrina : there 's nothing definite yet , but there 's this woman named lucy coe . she lives in manhattan , and she 's got a cosmetic line that felix actually sells . britt : felix the nurse ? sabrina : yeah . he said that he can get me in touch with lucy coe . the two of them are like this . robin : why would you want to keep me here ? i 'm nothing but a liability , just one more crime for the police to charge you with . i mean , is this really what you wanted for yourself ? do n't you have a family , i mean , people that love you ? dr. obrecht : my family is not your concern . robin : i have n't seen my family in almost a year . you have no idea how much i miss them , how much i miss my husband and my little girl . dr. obrecht : i should care for your suffering ? robin : you 're a doctor . just like i am . you do n't become a doctor without caring about people . dr. obrecht : this is an impossible situation . robin : there 's a very simple way out . all you have to do is trust your own humanity and just have some compassion for me -- for my whole family and -- just let me go . please . robert : you had your heart broken . we both did . no parent should ever have to bury their child . i mean , how do you describe in words that sort of a loss ? luke -- luke said you were dealing with it . and then that idiot heather webber has to go and tell you that -- that robin 's alive . she did the worst imaginable thing for a grieving parent . she gave them hope . so off you go to switzerland . when you get there , you discover that robin 's gone , so you 've got to deal with the loss all over again . anna : yeah , i did . robert : and then in the middle of all of this steps duke lavery . alive and in color , standing in your living room . anna : i could have shot him that first day . i wish to god i had . faison 's timing here was impeccable . he knew he could never get away with any of this unless you were grieving for robin . but as it is , he still had to throw everything he had at you , including a dead man 's face . anna : what if he did n't ? what if that man is still alive ? [ bells dinging ] maxie : what does that mean , mac ? why does olivia see dante and lulu 's baby as a dog ? mac : sweetheart , it was a hallucination . it probably does n't mean anything . maxie : olivia 's hallucinations have been pretty accurate lately . mac : even if she 's right and she saw a dog -- maxie : `` even if she 's right `` ? mac : maxie , these things are subject to interpretation . just because olivia saw a dog does n't mean the baby will actually be a dog . maxie : well , what else could it mean ? [ gasps ] what if the baby 's gon na be ugly ? ! you know how sometimes guys call ugly girls `` dogs . `` mac : i do n't think that 's what she meant . maxie : or what if it means that the baby is a bad person ? what 's that old saying ? `` a dog in the manger . `` is that right ? mangers have to do with babies . it could be related . mac : i did n't hear olivia say anything about a manger . maxie : or maybe the baby 's gon na be born with that disease where you 're completely covered in fur ! what if it has to do with the ivf treatments ? i mean , after all the shots and the catheters and the things you do n't really want to know about , they end up putting a dog embryo inside of me ! mac : maxie , stop ! you 're not gon na get pregnant with a dog ! maxie : how do you know that ? mac : because this is olivia 's hallucination . it probably has to do with her own worries about the baby . maxie : well , whatever it means , it 's bad . mac : maybe it is and maybe it is n't . the hallucination is n't what 's worrying me right now . you are . lulu : excuse me , dr. westbourne . do you have a minute ? britt : is everything okay ? lulu : yeah , everything 's fine . i just have a question about my procedure . britt : of course . why do n't we talk over here ? lulu : thank you . hi . patrick : so this is fantastic . when is the meeting with lucy ? sabrina : oh , i 'm not sure yet . patrick : but you do have the meeting with her . sabrina : oh , yeah . felix said he would take care of it . everything 's gon na be great . patrick : good . olivia : excuse me . um , i 'm looking for my son , dante falconeri . felix : he 's over there . olivia : thanks . thanks . great . today 's the day i get my grandbaby ! dante : whoa ! whoa ! mom ! what the -- what the hell are you doing ? ! sabrina : so she ended up onstage , in her -- patrick : hey , there 's felix . sabrina : oh , felix ! come here ! felix : you wanted to see me ? sabrina : yeah , i was just telling dr. drake how you 're gon na hook me up with lucy coe . felix : oh . about that -- sabrina : there 's not a problem , is there ? felix : not a problem , exactly . the thing is -- there 's something i need to tell you -- the both of you . patrick : okay . sabrina : something good , i hope . felix : [ chuckles ] the thing i have to tell you is , um -- there 's mistletoe above your head . robin : this is n't just about me . why should you have to pay for the crimes that faison committed ? if you let me go , then you look innocent . dr. obrecht : things are difficult , yes . now is the time when one 's faith is tested . and i have faith in faison . robin : well , you 're going to be very disappointed . because faison is a treacherous man . and he only cares about himself . he will save himself , and he 'll blame you for everything . dr. obrecht : no . faison will not compromise his plan . he 'll find a way to remedy the situation . robin : if my parents know that faison is alive , it 's only a matter of time before they figure out the rest -- that i am alive and that faison is the one that took me . dr. obrecht : it 's too random . robin : trust me , dr. obrecht . you do not want anna devane and robert scorpio to find me shackled to a bed . you do n't want me to have to explain to them that you are the one that held me prisoner . if you want to get out of this alive -- you have to let me go . dr. obrecht : you may have a point . i have no choice -- but to eliminate you . robert : do n't do this , anna . please . i mean -- anna : no , i ignored my instincts before . i overlooked inconsistencies , and i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . robert : what inconsistencies ? anna : all right , hear me out . when i came into this room , faison is in here , right ? and he had this thug , uh -- oh , god , what was his name ? oh , it was klaus . of course it was klaus . so klaus brings duke into this room . he 's all bound and gagged . and he 's being held at gunpoint . and this man that i thought was duke , he 's fighting against his restraints , and he 's trying to tell me something . and -- and that 's when faison says to klaus to shoot him . and i go for the gun , and i try to get it . robert : well , that was staged . anna : yes . exactly . right . at that point , faison drugs me , and i 'm out . and then when i come to , now faison has got this whole mask back on again as duke , and this klaus person is lying here . he 's dead . `` duke `` says he shot him and that `` faison `` escaped . robert : so what 's the problem ? anna : who was that man -- that was duke ? who was the man being held at gunpoint ? robert : we went through all of this . faison came in , stuck the duke mask on a henchman . anna : right . of course . because anybody could look like duke if they had that mask on . but what if there 's another possibility ? robert : well , wait a minute . you -- you 're not buying -- anna : listen . what if duke lavery -- is alive ? what if that was him ? robert : faison had this planned down to the last detail . he needed you to see him with duke . so the best thing was to slap a mask on one of the henchmen . anna : right . i know . it 's vintage faison . robert : why do n't you want to believe that ? anna : well , because when faison was posing as duke , you know , he was n't just some mute person . he knew things , right ? he knew things about me , duke , conversations , places we 'd been , things that only duke and i would know . robert : but this is faison . you do n't think he 's capable of getting such a thorough dossier ? anna : right . i know . but i was also wondering why when luke went to turkey that the story checked out . robert : but wait . luke said he could n't disprove lavery 's story . anna : right . maybe because -- duke lavery had actually been in that turkish prison . robert : wait , wait . faison 's more than capable of bribing people and falsifying records . anna : but what if -- what if there 's another possibility ? what if duke had been held captive in that turkish prison and faison had found him there and he questioned him and he got all this information out of him ? and maybe -- i do n't know . maybe he took a mold of his face and -- 'cause that would explain why that mask is so perfect ! robert : look , all he needs is good software and a decent lab , and he can fabricate anyone 's face . but let 's call interpol . anna : no , you know , there 's something else . it 's been bothering me . when klaus brought duke into this room , there was a look in his eyes -- something that had been missing . duke -- when he came in here , he was struggling to tell me something , and he was fighting . he was trying to save me . and i recognized his eyes . they were duke 's . robert : okay . i do n't think you 're right about this , but -- i know where we can go get some answers . dr. obrecht : you said so yourself it 's only a matter of time before your parents find you here , and when they do , they 'll destroy everything faison strove to accomplish . robin : it 's already been destroyed . that 's why you have to think about this , and you have to save yourself . dr. obrecht : yes . that 's why i ca n't risk the authorities learning of your existence . i fear the only solution is for you to die . robin : no , killing me is not gon na fix anything , and if you let me go , i 'll tell my parents , and i 'll plead for leniency . dr. obrecht : leniency ? from robert scorpio ? the man is ruthless to his enemies , a legend among the spies . no . he 'll want faison to pay , and he 'll want me to pay , as well . as for your mother -- i never understood faison 's obsession . but i know she 's dangerous . and i imagine she 'd be merciless to a woman that harmed her precious child . robin : my parents pay their debts . if you save me , they will owe you . dr. obrecht : i 'm afraid you are right after all , robin . it 's time to cut my losses . robin : please , you ca n't . dr. obrecht : i must decide what to do , and quickly . they 'll be coming here soon . you 're not the only one i have to deal with . robin : what ? what do you mean ? who else are you holding here ? who ? who 's here ? ! felix : well , what you waiting for ? come on . it 's bad luck if you do n't kiss . patrick : uh -- all right . okay . is that mistletoe ? felix : that sneaky bitch . britt : could n't let that go to waste . whew . shift 's over . um , should n't the two of you be heading to new york ? felix : do n't you mean the three of us ? you 're coming with us , are n't you ? dante : ma , what are you doing in here ? olivia : i asked the guy where you were . he pointed over this way . dante : yeah , so what ? you do n't bother to knock ? olivia : how many times you think i changed your diapers ? you think you got something there i have n't seen ? dante : not like this ! you have n't seen it like this ! olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . i just wanted to tell you that i love you and i am with you every step of the way . dante : awesome . that 's great . i just do n't need you during this step , okay ? olivia : i got it . break a leg ! [ exhales sharply ] maxie : what ? why are you worried about me ? i 'm not the one with visions of dancing schnauzers in her head . mac : you probably have a lot that you 're concerned about . maxie , it 's a lot easier to focus your energies on something that wo n't happen rather than something that will . maxie : what could be more concerning than thinking i 'm carrying a pekingese ? mac : maybe the fact that you 're about to have an invasive medical procedure . and once that 's over , you 're gon na give up the next nine months of your life to go through childbirth and pregnancy . maxie : we 've already talked about this , and you support me . mac : are you sure you want to go through with this ? it 's not too late to change your mind . maxie : it was my idea . when lulu first told me she was having a difficult time finding a surrogate , i volunteered . mac : and i understand you want to help your friends . it 's a noble gesture . but this is n't about lulu and dante and their wish to have a child . it 's about you . maxie : and that 's exactly who i 'm worried about . me . i 'm worried i might screw this up . mac : what are you talking about ? how can you possibly screw things up ? maxie : i would n't mean to . i ate blackberry jam . maxie : what ? maxie , you 're allergic . maxie : i know i 'm allergic . i was n't paying attention . mac : you seem fine now . maxie : i am fine . i had a rash for a few hours . it was acute , but it was n't a big deal . mac : maybe you want to tell me what is . maxie : i get distracted . i lose track of things . maybe next time it wo n't be jam . it 'll be something more important , something life - altering . mac : like what ? maxie : i do n't know , okay ? but dante and lulu , they 're putting their faith in me . they 're trusting me with their child . i might not deserve that . mac : hey , i happen to think you 're gon na be the best , most responsible , most nurturing surrogate ever . maxie : you do . mac : i do . but that does n't mean you have to go through with it . at the end of the day , this is still your decision . maxie : even if i wanted to back out , which i do n't , how would i ever tell dante and lulu something like that ? i would never want to disappoint them . mac : [ sighs ] sweetheart , i wish i could stay and talk this out with you , but i 've got to go pick up emma . maxie : is she okay ? mac : yeah , she 's fine . no matter what , i ca n't make this decision for you . but you have to be truthful to yourself , to lulu and dante . if you do n't want to carry their child , tell them now so they can find someone else . maxie : and hate me forever . mac : they 'll be hurt , but they 'll get over it . sweetheart , they 're your friends . as much as they want to have a child , they also want what 's best for you . just like me . i 've got to go . all right , listen -- no matter what you decide , i support you . maxie : bye . mac : bye . maxie : [ sighs ] olivia : hey ! honey , i 'm gon na go over to the cafeteria . you want something to drink ? lulu : uh , dante and i -- olivia : oh , i know . i saw him . he 's doing just great ! [ elevator dings ] dante : [ sighs ] okay . lulu : i do n't want you with those slutty women in your head . dante : okay . okay . i wo n't watch any films . i wo n't look at any magazines . i will only think about you . lulu : you promise ? dante : i promise .

i do n't want to hear it . i know the realities . you do n't need to tell me again . nick : where is your mother ? if only she were here . snapper : katherine said she thought we should be here . nothing more . greg : jill , no one 's on your case . jill : katherine chancellor is never off my case . snapper : could we just save mrs . chancellor for later ? our mother -- jill , yes , our mother is having surgery first thing in the morning . jill : you know , i 'm still not clear on how that all came about . snapper : her neurologist was in transit with his surgical team . i happened to reach him in houston . greg : big brother talked him into stopping here in genoa city and performing the procedure at memorial . snapper : i thought it would be a good idea if we were all together , maybe help her with her recovery . greg : which is absolutely right on . snapper : so i can count on both of you to be there ? greg : whoa , whoa , doc . ease up . snapper : what ? greg : well , lose the pep talk . you 're not coaching this ball game , okay ? snapper : i want to be sure -- greg : yeah , you do n't think that jill and i can get to the hospital on our own without your expert guidance . llllhey , d dude , we can . jill : boy , some things never change . come on , you two . greg : you know , we 're good . we 're good . snapper : it 's no problem . greg : this is all about mom , huh ? snapper : right . sisis , do n't get me wrong . it 's about you , too . i understand that finding out that you were adopted caught you by surprise . jill : which you could have damn well helped me out with . greg : sis , it would have been a surprise five years ago , too , right ? do n't get all hung up in the timing . jill : you know , you 're right about that , but i am still going to look for my birth parents , or at least my birth mother , and there 's no time like the present . now you knew about this . tell me . do you have any details ? do you know anything at all ? victor : it 's amazing to realize how uncharitable you are toward are daughter- in - law . nikki : well , i guess it all balances out because you are so utterly supportive . victor : well , i 'm so supportive because she 's alone , for heaven 's sake . she 's vulnerable . she 's hurting . someone needs to be in her corner . nikki : how vulnerable is she ? how lonely ? victor : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? nikki : she ca n't be trusted . she 's proven that . once the trust is gone , forget it . i think nicholas wants to end this marriage , but he needs a little support . victor : do you favor a divorce ? nikki : oh , come on ! look at everything she 's put him through this year . now i know you are probably going to continue to try to save this marriage . i have no idea why . i do n't know what kind of spell sharon has cast on you to make you so blindly supportive . victor : i 'm not blindly supportive . that 's not the point . the point is i know if our son got a divorce , you 'd be very upset . you 'd be very unhappy . think of what it would do to the children . i 'm trying to save their marriage because i think it would be best for everyone concerned . you know my heart is in the right place . victor : do you really think i 'm lying to you ? nikki : believe me . i do n't want to think that . victor : do you honestly think i 'd stoop so low and show such lack of self- restraint ? nikki : well , i will say that you have built a convincing case with pain pills and the double shot of tequila . yeyes , we were in the midst of a heated argument . victor : you have got to believe me that i did not come on to sharon , that she is the one who initiated the kiss . you have got to believe that . if you 've any vestige of trust and love left , you will give me the benefit of the doubt that i did not come on to our daughter - in - law . victoria : what 's the word ? nick : it 's not good . victoria : have you seen the doctor ? nick : yeah , he was here when i got here . victoria : did you talk to him ? nick : he wanted to talk , you know , but i knew it was just gon na be bad news . so i told him i do n't want to hear it . but then i realized i need to hear what he had to say . victoria : does he think she 's gon na make it ? nick : he wo n't say in so many words , but i can read between the lines . there 's been no change since we brought her here , and that 's too long . nick : she 's slipping away . we 're losing her . victoria : oh , nick . ashley : well , i know how committed you and phyllis are to making this work . jack : we 're doing our best . ashley : and diane 's doing her part , right ? she 's not helping ? you know , this is unbelievable . in a normal situation , i would expect her to be a poor loser , but when it comes to her own child -- jack : we have n't seen or heard from diane . ashley : what ? jack : since we brought kyle home , she has n't called once . ashley : you know what ? that just proves it . jack : proves what ? ashley : she does n't give a damn about her own kid . jack : now you 're starting to sound like phyllis . ashley : well , of course she agrees that diane 's behavior is lousy . jack : look , i agreed , too , at first . ashley : what do you mean , at first ? what ? jack : did you know andy 's back in town ? ashley : andy richards ? jack : yeah . ashley : that 's a name from the past . no , i didn't . what 's he got to do with any of this ? jack : yeah , i 'm wondering the same thing , yet there he was at my door asking lots of questions about diane . ashley : you 're kidding me . some people never learn . what did he want , get you to give kyle back ? jack : he claims diane is desperate to see her son . ashley : oh , really ? well , then why is she keeping her distance ? jack : for kyle 's sake . she does n't want to make it any more difficult for him . ashley : do you believe that ? jack : i do n't know what i believe . ashley : well , even if andy 's right , well , what are you going to do ? do you think diane would be willing to help ? jack : i -- i -- i do n't know . i ca n't stand by and watch my son suffer like this , so -- ashley : i know you hate the thought of involving diane in your lives again . jack : oh , god , it makes me sick to my stomach , and for phyllis . ashley : yeah , she 'd rather crawl naked through broken glass , i 'm sure . jack : can you blame her ? ashley : no , but she 's gon na have to find it in her heart to put kyle 's needs first . jack : honey , that 's very easy to say , but diane made her life a living hell . i do n't blame her one second for not wanting her anywhere near this house . i know what you 're thinking . and you 're right . as much as i hate it , i do n't really have a choice . i have to call diane . ashley : and phyllis is going to have to make peace with it . phyllis : ha ha ha ha ! diane : what are you talking about ? why are you laughing at me ? phyllis : diane , are you kidding me ? look at you . you really had me going for a second . diane : you think i 'm lying ? phyllis : i do n't know . lying to me , lying to yourself -- who the hell knows ? all i know is if you were truly shattered over losing your son , you would have done something by now to ease the pain . diane : like what ? hang myself ? phyllis : pick up the phone and call him . if you truly cared , diane , truly cared about your son , nothing would have stopped you from doing that . i know that for a fact . diane : oh , you do ? you do ? you know what 's in my heart because of what you went through with daniel . let me tell you something , phyllis . you do n't have a clue . phyllis : why is that , because you 're a cold , calculating bitch , and i 'm an actual human being with feelings ? diane : no , because it 's not the same situation . you did n't have a say in your little boy 's life anymore . i do , and i want what 's best for him . phyllis : no , no , no , no . you do not compare yourself to me . you have no idea what i went through . and you want what 's best for diane and only diane . diane : that 's not true . it 's been tearing me up , staying away . phyllis : oh , but you sacrificed yourself for your son ? diane : yeah , that 's right , and you know what , phyllis ? i 'm glad you could get that . phyllis : really ? what i get , diane , is how facile you are with the self- serving explanations , but , please , by all means , i 'd like to hear how blowing off your son is in his best interest . tell me . diane : you say he 's happy . and that 's what i wanted and how i knew it probably would be for him , and i just -- i did n't want to do anything to derail that while he 's getting used to his new home . phyllis : mmm . so do you actually stay up at night thinking up all this ? diane : for what it 's worth , phyllis , and i know that 's not much , and as horrible as i feel , and as terrible as things have been for me , i love my child . and that is my bottom line . and all i can hope is that he has a good life , so i am willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen . no matter how much it hurts me , and no matter how much it costs me . look , look , when you and jack think that kyle can handle a visit from me , just -- just call me . that 's all i ask . phyllis : diane , diane , diane , diane . hold on . t speaker ) burger , double fries and nick : and i waso o sure she 'd make it . and she 's such a little fighter . nick : cassie , do n't do this . do n't give up . i need you . you know , we all need you . and what about noah ? he would n't know what to do without you . nick : i ca n't stop thinking about sharon -- what this would do to her . i mean , if wlolose cassie , and she 's not here . victoria : well , it 's her own fault . she left . nick : you know how i feel about that , who i blame . victoria : nicholas , nicholas , her eyes are fluttering . nick : what ? cassie ? cassie . nikki : what is this , some kind of ultimatum ? if i love you , i 'll believe you ? victor : i will not draw that line . i do n't know what your feelings are for me now . nikki : we really should n't even be talking about this right now . now is not the time to sort out our personal issues . until we know where things stand with cassie , the family has to be our priority . victor : you have got to believe me when i tell you it was sharon who initiated that kiss , not i . talking about sharon , i wonder where the hell she is . well , do n't give me that look . she has n't been around for days . no one knows where she is . do n't you think she 'd be devastated to find out something happened to her daughter , and she is n't here ? nik : : i just do n't understand where this comes from , this bizarre sensitivity you have to sharon after the hell she has put our son through . victor : maybe it 's because i remember another young woman who was fighting very hard to make something of her life , who was struggling to overcome a madman . i called her `` my diamond in the rough . `` remember that little girl ? nikki : life was much simpl t then . i wish i could be that girl again , your diamond in the rough . oh , how i adored you then . snapper : what do you mean ? what kind of details ? jill : do n't play dumb with me , big brother . you know what i 'm talking about . i 'm talking about the adoption . who else was involved ? was there an agency ? snapper : jill . jill : names , dates , places , what ? snapper : i do n't know . and you know what ? i do n't think mom knows , either . i 'll tell you what i was told . dad brought you home in a blanket , and i do n't think mom even asked . she did n't care . what she did care about was that she loves you , and she cared about your future . jill : do n't give me any more sermons . i love the woman , snapper . i know everything she 's done for me , and believe me , i could n't be more grateful . but do n't you see ? that does n't stop me from being curious about my real mother . greg : you know , i kind of ca n't help wondering myself who she might have been , you know , what the story was . jill : exactly . snapper : greg ! will you stop it ? will you just leave it alone ? jill : i am not turning my back on liz foster ! snapper : well , good , good . then let 's just stop talking about whoever this person was . she gave you her dna . she carried you for nine months . she gives birth , and then splits . but somebody else did the heavy lifting , and that someone else is our mom , and she needs you . jill : do you know what a broken record you are ? is he a broken record or what ? ( doorbell rings ) snapper : that 's mom . i asked her to come by , so maybe we can keep up the family cheer . greg : he 's just got ta be running the show , does n't he ? jill : stop squabbling , you two . snapper : we ca n't help it . jill : well , try . liz : my son ! greg : hey , mom . liz : oh , it 's good to see you ! oh ! ( door opens ) jack : hey . phyllis : hi . jack : honey , we need to talk . phyllis : yeah . jack : what 's going on ? phyllis : we ran into each other at the coffeehouse . jack : oh ? um , i 'll be right back . phyllis : no , um , jack , wait a second . diane , why do n't you see what you can do . diane : of course . victor : do you honestly believe that i would lie to you about this situation with sharon ? i would not do that . i 'm not the one who initiated the move to kiss . i 'm not lying to you . i assumed the blame for that because i wanted to save our son 's marriage . do you understand that ? now , please , whatever 's going on between us right now ... victor : do n't leave me , okay ? because i love you . i will always love you . nikki : all righ l look , we have to tell nicholas . victor : no , that is what we must not do now . nikki : he 's blaming you , and that 's not right . he deserves to know the truth . victor : please listen to me . i do n't care if blalames me right now . we have got to save that family . if cassie regains consciousness , she will want both of her parents . we have got to do everything in our power to make sure that those two stay together . victor : nicholas , i know i saw her eyelids flicker . i know i did . nick : maybe it 's just wishful thinking . you know , we 've both been hoping that she 'd come around . victoria : no , i do n't think so . i do n't think so . i know i saw some movement . nick : cassie , sweetheart . your aunt victoria said she saw your eyes move . can you hear me ? give me some sign , anything . just something to hold on to . cassie , please , can you hear me ? all : ( laughing ) liz : oh , i really ca n't believe this . greg : the foster family together again for the first time , huh ? liz : it feels that way . jill : but not for the last . snapper : definitely not . liz : listen , they wanted me to check in early . snapper : and we 're gon na see that you do exactly that . liz : what do you mean we ? greg : we 're going with you , mom . liz : oh . all right , then , i have a taxi waiting . you can all ride with me . snapper : and we thought tonight we would be there at the hospital with you , that we would be in the room -- liz : oh , no , no , no . i did n't want you to do that -- greg : mom , mom , mom , mom . forget it . it 's gon na happen , okay ? liz : are you coming , too , daughter ? jill : oh , yes , mom , i 'm coming . listen , before we leave , i would like a quick word with greg . okay ? snapper : ( snaps fingers ) make it snappy , meter 's running . greg : i 'll pay for it , all right ? liz : you boys , looking for any excuse to disagree . snapper : all in fun , mom . all in fun . liz : fun for who ? greg : so i guess i know what this is gon na be about . jill : finding my birth parents -- one or the other , or both . greg : listen , jill , just because i said i was a little curious about this , you know , does n't mean i -- jill : hey , i am a lot curious . greg : you know what , so was the proverbial cat . you wan na be careful what you go looking for . jill : what are you trying to tell me ? greg : i 'm saying that you might find what you 're after and end up wishing the hell you hadn't . diane : hi , sweetheart . oh , my goodness . do n't cry . do n't cry , honey . i 'm here . mommy missed you so much . come here , let me get you out of that crib . oh , there 's my big boy . yes , mommy 's right here . it 's okay . it 's okay , kyle . everything 's all right . hey , let 's go into the bathroom and wipe that face , huh ? maybe you 'll start to feel better then . phyllis : so far so good . jack : so you two just ran into each other ? phyllis : yeah , yeah . after i did my errands , i went to the coffeehouse . diane came in , wanted to talk . it was n't my idea , believe me . jack : the two of you argue ? phyllis : no , not really , i mean , she , um , lied to me about how things were going , pretending that everything was okay , and then , um , and then she , um , got real about her situation , and , um ... phyllis : and i thought , `` hey , what the hell ? `` it 's worth a shot . `` you think i 'm nuts . i 'm nuts , i know . jack : no , i was actually thinking how incredibly much i love you . i hope someday you 'll know how much i appreciate this . phyllis : i do . phyllis : it 's pretty quiet up there , right ? i wonder how things are going . jack : should i go up and check ? phyllis : are you afraid she 's escaping out the window ? jack : no , actually that was n't what i was worried about . kyle : ( babbling ) diane : here 's someone who 's doing much better . jack : yeah . little guy 's up from his nap . diane : yeah , i think he 's thirsty . phyllis : i 'll go get some juice . jack : thanks , sweetheart . diane : hey , hehere 's my handsome boy , huh ? yeah ? phyllis explain why i have n't called ? jack : for kyle 's sake . i hope you realize she put his interests first in inviting you over here . diane : i do realize that , jack . it 's a sensitive situation for everybody involved . and just so there 's no misunderstanding , i want you to know that i am willing to do whatever it takes to help . being with my boy means the world to me . little monkey . kyle : ( babbles ) diane : i know . snapper : are you all right ? liz : i 'm fine , fine . snapper : mom . liz : oh , i 'm scared . snapper : it 's gon na be okay . liz : i never should have told jill she was adopted . snapper : hey , mom , what is done , it 's done . greg : think about it , sis . i mean , you 're imagining that you 'll find your family of origin , and there 's gon na be this big lovely reunion -- jill : no , you 're wrong . greg : that all your questions about the meaning of life are gon na be answered -- jill : do n't insult my intelligence , greg . i know it 's not gon na be like that . greg : well , then what is it that you 're hoping to encounter ? jill : i do n't know . that 's the whole point . greg : look , what if you -- what if you find these people , and they turn out to be nasty , worthless jerks ? what if they take one look at you , and they see money ? jill : wt t if it 's just the opposite ? what if they 're smart and strong and wonderful ? greg : well , hey , you 've already got a family like that . jill : oh , greg . greg : what ? are n't snapper and mom and i enough for you ? jill : yes , you sweet man , you 've got it all wrong . i 'm not looking for a new family . i 'm not looking to be somebody else 's little girl . i know it 's too late for that . greg : well , then i do n't get it . jill : and i ca n't explain it . greg : ah , well , the heck with it , then . you have the right to your own feelings . jill : thank you . does that mean that you 'd help me ? greg : hey , i 'll do what i can . i mean , if your birth parents , one or the other , are still alive , or they have n't moved to tierra del fuego or something , hey , we 'll find them . jill : you 're an angel . greg : wel y you 're a nut . you know that ? snapper : come on , you two . we 've got to move . jill : okay . gave them to you , i remember you had them . kyle : ( babbling ) phyllis : oh , wow , look at the time . we should get kyle to bed . jack : e does have a checkup first thing in the morning . we want to get him back on his normal sleep schedule . diane : hey , you hear that , kyle , huh ? come on , big guy . it 's time to get in your jammies . phyllis : yeah , uh , we 'll -- we'lcacall you tomorrow to set up your next visit . diane : whatever 's convenient . all right . hey , kyle , mommy has to go , but i 'll be back soon . okay ? diane : thank you , phyllis , jack . jack : you 're welcome . diane : well , uh , good night . good night , honey . be good . phyllis : hey . kyle : ( crying ) diane : oh . oh , honey , it 's okay . it 's okay . mommy will be back . mommy will always come back . diane : take care of him . phyllis : i will ... always . phyllis : sweetie . kyle : mama . jack : it 's okay . it 's okay . greg : well , okay , let 's get this lady to the hospital , huh ? liz : wait . thank you for being here , l l of you . snapper : we love you , mom . greg : yeah , darn right we do . jill : i love you , mama . liz : and i love all of you . victor : i implore you ... do not open this door with nicholas . nikki : i wonder if he has any idea the kind of woman his wife is . victor : look , i know they have issues . they have serious issues that they have to work out . but i 'm absolutely convinced that she loves him , and he loves her . i do n't want you to add any trauma to that situation . we 've got to do everything in our power to save their marriage . nikki : victor , what about you and nicholas ? if he continues to believe what he does , you think there 's anany hope to repair your relationship ? because i don't . victoria : come quickly ! cassie 's awake . nikki : oh , my god ! oh , thank god ! nick : hi , sweetheart . thank god you 're awake . you 've come back to us . victoria : she 's awake . nikki : oh , thank god . | phyllis invites diane over to help calm down kyle . jack is very happy with his wife and is pleased she did this for kyle . jill 's mother is having her surgery tomorrow and jill is still determined to find her real birth parents . greg says he 'll help her . victor tells nikki that the kiss with sharon was her idea and after some prodding , nikki forgives him and hugs him . as vikki and nick are watching over cassie , her eyes flutter open . vikki runs out to get victor and nikki and the three of them hug . | <s>[INST] ashley : so that 's about as much as i know . when i left the hospital , poor little cassie was still in a coma . and according to what victor told me , the prognosis is n't good . jack : oh , my god . nikki left my office . she said there was a problem with cassie . i had no idea . how are the newmans holding up ? ashley : about as well as could be expected , i guess . jack : oh , god . i can only imagine . if something like this happened to kyle ... ashley : well , that 's the other reason why i 'm here . how 's he doing ? it must be great having him here all the time . jack : well , he 's asleep right now . ashley : you 're kidding . he does n't usually nap this close to bedtime , does he ? i 'll bet this transition has messed up his schedule a little bit , huh ? jack : yeah , more than a little bit . ashley : uh - oh . what 's wrong ? jack : ash , he 's not doing well . ever since we 've brought him home , he 's not eating , he 's not sleeping , he 's having such a tough time . ashley : oh , i 'm so sorry . it will get better . jack : your mouth to god 's ears . phyllis : are you crying now ? diane : you know what ? you have your pound of flesh . just leave me alone , please . phyllis : pound ? but just a minute ago , you were going on and on about how great it has been since you lost your son , how you have your freedom now . diane : i was lying , okay ? i lost my child , phyllis . i 'm devastated . there . are you happy ? phyllis : i 'm just trying to figure it out , diane . diane : i did n't want you to know how horrible i feel . phyllis : so you lied because of my reaction ? diane : oh , come on . do n't try and act like you do n't understand why i would n't want to listen to you gloat , but you know what ? so much for that hope . i do n't even get to keep one shred of dignity . phyllis : oh , you 're good . ( laughs ) diane . you are very , very good . snapper : jill , you need to think this over . jill : what 's to think over ? come on . a lot of adopted people go looking for their birth parents . greg : okay , but do n't make any big decisions yet . this is new information . it 's fresh in your mind . give it a chance to sink in . jill : and i 'm gon na feel different when it sin i in ? snapper : you may realize that it does n't matter . jill : right . being adopted does n't matter at all . greg : well , of course it does , up to a point . snapper : i 'll tell you what does matter . the woman who raised you needs you . come on , jill , our mom needs you . jill : what has katherine been telling you ? greg : look , i do n't know what she 's said to snapper , but she did n't tell me -- jill : stop . wait , wait , wait , wait . i 'll tell you , okay ? 'cause i know the woman , and i know her lies . she called you both up , and she told you that jill was being completely selfish , thinking only of herself , and poor liz foster was facing this deadly surgery with no support , no sympathy , no nothing from her daughter . please , come save her from the ungrateful jill . am i right ? nikki : please do n't treat me like an idiot . victor : i would never do that . nikki : and yet you suddenly change the story you 've been telling for days , and you expect me to believe -- victor : what i 'm telling you now is the truth . nikki : sharon came on to you , not the other way around . victor : no one came on to anyone . that 's not how it was . now if you 'll listen to me , i 'll explain it to you . sit down . nikki : okay , i 'm all ears . victor : you know that sharon was very upset about her marriage to our son , very upset . obviously , it 's not going well between the two . i wanted their marriage to stay together , so i was around . i was supportive . i encouraged them to stay together , to forget about their differences . so in a weak moment , she kissed me . i was taken aback by that . i stopped it immediately . nikki : well , apparently not immediately enough to keep nicholas from seeing it . victor : do n't you think i 'm totally heartsick about that ? nikki : why is it that you 're suddenly deciding to reveal this version of the story ? victor : because in our son 's state of mind , if he had known , if he had thought that sharon had come on to me , that marriage would be over with , finished . so i assumed the blame , all right ? nikki : what , do you think there 's still hope for that marriage ? open your eyes , victor . victor : will you please open your eyes ? mine are wide open . there 's a little girl in there fighting for her life . do n't you think when she comes to , which hopefully she will , she needs both of her parents ? nikki : you know , it 's amazing . you even make that sound noble . victor : have you listened to a word i 've said ? nikki : yes , i have . i have heard every self - serving word , and i do n't believe it . i do n't believe any of it . nick : hey , doc . reese : nicholas . did you get some rest ? nick : yeah , a little . nick : i kept hoping you 'd call to tell me there 'd been some change . reese : well , i kept hoping i could make that call , nicholas . look , i 'm afraid we need to talk . nick : no , do n't , all right ? i do n't want to hear it . i know the realities . you do n't need to tell me again . nick : where is your mother ? if only she were here . snapper : katherine said she thought we should be here . nothing more . greg : jill , no one 's on your case . jill : katherine chancellor is never off my case . snapper : could we just save mrs . chancellor for later ? our mother -- jill , yes , our mother is having surgery first thing in the morning . jill : you know , i 'm still not clear on how that all came about . snapper : her neurologist was in transit with his surgical team . i happened to reach him in houston . greg : big brother talked him into stopping here in genoa city and performing the procedure at memorial . snapper : i thought it would be a good idea if we were all together , maybe help her with her recovery . greg : which is absolutely right on . snapper : so i can count on both of you to be there ? greg : whoa , whoa , doc . ease up . snapper : what ? greg : well , lose the pep talk . you 're not coaching this ball game , okay ? snapper : i want to be sure -- greg : yeah , you do n't think that jill and i can get to the hospital on our own without your expert guidance . llllhey , d dude , we can . jill : boy , some things never change . come on , you two . greg : you know , we 're good . we 're good . snapper : it 's no problem . greg : this is all about mom , huh ? snapper : right . sisis , do n't get me wrong . it 's about you , too . i understand that finding out that you were adopted caught you by surprise . jill : which you could have damn well helped me out with . greg : sis , it would have been a surprise five years ago , too , right ? do n't get all hung up in the timing . jill : you know , you 're right about that , but i am still going to look for my birth parents , or at least my birth mother , and there 's no time like the present . now you knew about this . tell me . do you have any details ? do you know anything at all ? victor : it 's amazing to realize how uncharitable you are toward are daughter- in - law . nikki : well , i guess it all balances out because you are so utterly supportive . victor : well , i 'm so supportive because she 's alone , for heaven 's sake . she 's vulnerable . she 's hurting . someone needs to be in her corner . nikki : how vulnerable is she ? how lonely ? victor : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? nikki : she ca n't be trusted . she 's proven that . once the trust is gone , forget it . i think nicholas wants to end this marriage , but he needs a little support . victor : do you favor a divorce ? nikki : oh , come on ! look at everything she 's put him through this year . now i know you are probably going to continue to try to save this marriage . i have no idea why . i do n't know what kind of spell sharon has cast on you to make you so blindly supportive . victor : i 'm not blindly supportive . that 's not the point . the point is i know if our son got a divorce , you 'd be very upset . you 'd be very unhappy . think of what it would do to the children . i 'm trying to save their marriage because i think it would be best for everyone concerned . you know my heart is in the right place . victor : do you really think i 'm lying to you ? nikki : believe me . i do n't want to think that . victor : do you honestly think i 'd stoop so low and show such lack of self- restraint ? nikki : well , i will say that you have built a convincing case with pain pills and the double shot of tequila . yeyes , we were in the midst of a heated argument . victor : you have got to believe me that i did not come on to sharon , that she is the one who initiated the kiss . you have got to believe that . if you 've any vestige of trust and love left , you will give me the benefit of the doubt that i did not come on to our daughter - in - law . victoria : what 's the word ? nick : it 's not good . victoria : have you seen the doctor ? nick : yeah , he was here when i got here . victoria : did you talk to him ? nick : he wanted to talk , you know , but i knew it was just gon na be bad news . so i told him i do n't want to hear it . but then i realized i need to hear what he had to say . victoria : does he think she 's gon na make it ? nick : he wo n't say in so many words , but i can read between the lines . there 's been no change since we brought her here , and that 's too long . nick : she 's slipping away . we 're losing her . victoria : oh , nick . ashley : well , i know how committed you and phyllis are to making this work . jack : we 're doing our best . ashley : and diane 's doing her part , right ? she 's not helping ? you know , this is unbelievable . in a normal situation , i would expect her to be a poor loser , but when it comes to her own child -- jack : we have n't seen or heard from diane . ashley : what ? jack : since we brought kyle home , she has n't called once . ashley : you know what ? that just proves it . jack : proves what ? ashley : she does n't give a damn about her own kid . jack : now you 're starting to sound like phyllis . ashley : well , of course she agrees that diane 's behavior is lousy . jack : look , i agreed , too , at first . ashley : what do you mean , at first ? what ? jack : did you know andy 's back in town ? ashley : andy richards ? jack : yeah . ashley : that 's a name from the past . no , i didn't . what 's he got to do with any of this ? jack : yeah , i 'm wondering the same thing , yet there he was at my door asking lots of questions about diane . ashley : you 're kidding me . some people never learn . what did he want , get you to give kyle back ? jack : he claims diane is desperate to see her son . ashley : oh , really ? well , then why is she keeping her distance ? jack : for kyle 's sake . she does n't want to make it any more difficult for him . ashley : do you believe that ? jack : i do n't know what i believe . ashley : well , even if andy 's right , well , what are you going to do ? do you think diane would be willing to help ? jack : i -- i -- i do n't know . i ca n't stand by and watch my son suffer like this , so -- ashley : i know you hate the thought of involving diane in your lives again . jack : oh , god , it makes me sick to my stomach , and for phyllis . ashley : yeah , she 'd rather crawl naked through broken glass , i 'm sure . jack : can you blame her ? ashley : no , but she 's gon na have to find it in her heart to put kyle 's needs first . jack : honey , that 's very easy to say , but diane made her life a living hell . i do n't blame her one second for not wanting her anywhere near this house . i know what you 're thinking . and you 're right . as much as i hate it , i do n't really have a choice . i have to call diane . ashley : and phyllis is going to have to make peace with it . phyllis : ha ha ha ha ! diane : what are you talking about ? why are you laughing at me ? phyllis : diane , are you kidding me ? look at you . you really had me going for a second . diane : you think i 'm lying ? phyllis : i do n't know . lying to me , lying to yourself -- who the hell knows ? all i know is if you were truly shattered over losing your son , you would have done something by now to ease the pain . diane : like what ? hang myself ? phyllis : pick up the phone and call him . if you truly cared , diane , truly cared about your son , nothing would have stopped you from doing that . i know that for a fact . diane : oh , you do ? you do ? you know what 's in my heart because of what you went through with daniel . let me tell you something , phyllis . you do n't have a clue . phyllis : why is that , because you 're a cold , calculating bitch , and i 'm an actual human being with feelings ? diane : no , because it 's not the same situation . you did n't have a say in your little boy 's life anymore . i do , and i want what 's best for him . phyllis : no , no , no , no . you do not compare yourself to me . you have no idea what i went through . and you want what 's best for diane and only diane . diane : that 's not true . it 's been tearing me up , staying away . phyllis : oh , but you sacrificed yourself for your son ? diane : yeah , that 's right , and you know what , phyllis ? i 'm glad you could get that . phyllis : really ? what i get , diane , is how facile you are with the self- serving explanations , but , please , by all means , i 'd like to hear how blowing off your son is in his best interest . tell me . diane : you say he 's happy . and that 's what i wanted and how i knew it probably would be for him , and i just -- i did n't want to do anything to derail that while he 's getting used to his new home . phyllis : mmm . so do you actually stay up at night thinking up all this ? diane : for what it 's worth , phyllis , and i know that 's not much , and as horrible as i feel , and as terrible as things have been for me , i love my child . and that is my bottom line . and all i can hope is that he has a good life , so i am willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen . no matter how much it hurts me , and no matter how much it costs me . look , look , when you and jack think that kyle can handle a visit from me , just -- just call me . that 's all i ask . phyllis : diane , diane , diane , diane . hold on . t speaker ) burger , double fries and nick : and i waso o sure she 'd make it . and she 's such a little fighter . nick : cassie , do n't do this . do n't give up . i need you . you know , we all need you . and what about noah ? he would n't know what to do without you . nick : i ca n't stop thinking about sharon -- what this would do to her . i mean , if wlolose cassie , and she 's not here . victoria : well , it 's her own fault . she left . nick : you know how i feel about that , who i blame . victoria : nicholas , nicholas , her eyes are fluttering . nick : what ? cassie ? cassie . nikki : what is this , some kind of ultimatum ? if i love you , i 'll believe you ? victor : i will not draw that line . i do n't know what your feelings are for me now . nikki : we really should n't even be talking about this right now . now is not the time to sort out our personal issues . until we know where things stand with cassie , the family has to be our priority . victor : you have got to believe me when i tell you it was sharon who initiated that kiss , not i . talking about sharon , i wonder where the hell she is . well , do n't give me that look . she has n't been around for days . no one knows where she is . do n't you think she 'd be devastated to find out something happened to her daughter , and she is n't here ? nik : : i just do n't understand where this comes from , this bizarre sensitivity you have to sharon after the hell she has put our son through . victor : maybe it 's because i remember another young woman who was fighting very hard to make something of her life , who was struggling to overcome a madman . i called her `` my diamond in the rough . `` remember that little girl ? nikki : life was much simpl t then . i wish i could be that girl again , your diamond in the rough . oh , how i adored you then . snapper : what do you mean ? what kind of details ? jill : do n't play dumb with me , big brother . you know what i 'm talking about . i 'm talking about the adoption . who else was involved ? was there an agency ? snapper : jill . jill : names , dates , places , what ? snapper : i do n't know . and you know what ? i do n't think mom knows , either . i 'll tell you what i was told . dad brought you home in a blanket , and i do n't think mom even asked . she did n't care . what she did care about was that she loves you , and she cared about your future . jill : do n't give me any more sermons . i love the woman , snapper . i know everything she 's done for me , and believe me , i could n't be more grateful . but do n't you see ? that does n't stop me from being curious about my real mother . greg : you know , i kind of ca n't help wondering myself who she might have been , you know , what the story was . jill : exactly . snapper : greg ! will you stop it ? will you just leave it alone ? jill : i am not turning my back on liz foster ! snapper : well , good , good . then let 's just stop talking about whoever this person was . she gave you her dna . she carried you for nine months . she gives birth , and then splits . but somebody else did the heavy lifting , and that someone else is our mom , and she needs you . jill : do you know what a broken record you are ? is he a broken record or what ? ( doorbell rings ) snapper : that 's mom . i asked her to come by , so maybe we can keep up the family cheer . greg : he 's just got ta be running the show , does n't he ? jill : stop squabbling , you two . snapper : we ca n't help it . jill : well , try . liz : my son ! greg : hey , mom . liz : oh , it 's good to see you ! oh ! ( door opens ) jack : hey . phyllis : hi . jack : honey , we need to talk . phyllis : yeah . jack : what 's going on ? phyllis : we ran into each other at the coffeehouse . jack : oh ? um , i 'll be right back . phyllis : no , um , jack , wait a second . diane , why do n't you see what you can do . diane : of course . victor : do you honestly believe that i would lie to you about this situation with sharon ? i would not do that . i 'm not the one who initiated the move to kiss . i 'm not lying to you . i assumed the blame for that because i wanted to save our son 's marriage . do you understand that ? now , please , whatever 's going on between us right now ... victor : do n't leave me , okay ? because i love you . i will always love you . nikki : all righ l look , we have to tell nicholas . victor : no , that is what we must not do now . nikki : he 's blaming you , and that 's not right . he deserves to know the truth . victor : please listen to me . i do n't care if blalames me right now . we have got to save that family . if cassie regains consciousness , she will want both of her parents . we have got to do everything in our power to make sure that those two stay together . victor : nicholas , i know i saw her eyelids flicker . i know i did . nick : maybe it 's just wishful thinking . you know , we 've both been hoping that she 'd come around . victoria : no , i do n't think so . i do n't think so . i know i saw some movement . nick : cassie , sweetheart . your aunt victoria said she saw your eyes move . can you hear me ? give me some sign , anything . just something to hold on to . cassie , please , can you hear me ? all : ( laughing ) liz : oh , i really ca n't believe this . greg : the foster family together again for the first time , huh ?

[ scene_break ] andré : i 'm glad you called . i 've been meaning to offer my condolences in person . i 'm so sorry for your loss . michael : and we appreciate that . andré : morgan was a very special young man , and i 'm terrible sorry i was n't able to prevent this tragedy . carly : thank you . um , i asked you to come by because i 'm trying to make sense of what happened ... andré : of course . carly : ... and how it happened . so if you could just tell us the results of morgan 's blood work . andré : unfortunately , no , i ca n't . michael : what ? are you still bound by confidentiality -- andré : i ca n't tell you because there were no tests . i requested the results myself , but morgan never showed up to get his blood drawn . carly : he just blew it off ? andré : i 'm sorry , but , yes , he did . i have been looking for answers myself , but there 's nothing . carly : i disagree with you . the fact that morgan was drinking , and he did n't show up for his blood work proves that his meds were n't working . andré : it 's possible , but there 's no way to know , for sure . carly : okay , if you ca n't give me the answers i 'm looking for , then you tell me this -- why did you let my son leave the freedman clinic ? 'cause he clearly was n't well . [ scene_break ] nelle : miss jerome was just looking around . she dropped something , and i was helping her find it . sonny : what 'd you drop ? ava : my phone . sonny : oh . but i -- i have it , so ... nelle , i 'm very sorry that i - i snapped at you like that . being in this room here is very emotional for me , and when you appeared behind me so suddenly , i just ... sonny : you did n't answer the question . ava : no , i did . my phone . i have it . sonny : oh , no , no , no . not -- not that question . nelle : i 'm gon na leave you two alone . sonny : [ sighs ] ava , ava . why are you in morgan 's room ? ava : come on , sonny . you know why .

[ scene_break ] claudette : the first thing we have to do is get charlotte out of port charles , which must be a relief to you , because you wo n't have to take a bullet for a child that is n't yours . nathan : ah , i would take the bullet anyway . claudette : oh , you 're so noble . but if griffin and i can leave with charlotte in the next few days , i know how to get back underneath the radar , and we 'll all be safe . nathan : wait . so you 're asking griffin to leave the church and medicine to , what -- to live a life on the run and off the grid ? griffin : no , no . we do n't have to decide anything just now . claudette : yes , we do . griffin : n -- there 's somebody we can call that 'll know exactly what to do about this . claudette : who ? griffin : anna . nathan : absolutely . claudette : who the hell is anna ? griffin : she used to be married to my dad , and she also happens to be ex - wsb . nathan : and she was police commissioner when i signed on with the pcpd , and she has experience dealing with the cassadines . claudette , honestly , there is no one better that we could take this to . that 's a good idea . claudette : no . it is n't . [ scene_break ] sonny : you got two minutes to see avery , and then you just go home . you understand ? ava : yeah . sonny : and ... do n't ever pull a stunt like this again . [ exhales deeply ] [ scene_break ] carly : you said that morgan 's bipolar disorder was under control and that , between therapy and medication , that morgan would be able to manage his condition . andré : right . carly : you said it was safe for morgan to leave freedman . andré : because at the time the medications were working . his blood work at the clinic confirmed this . morgan was thinking clearly . he was making rational decisions . michael : it was only in the last three weeks that he started to seem a little off . carly : okay , guys , i 'm not crazy here . there was something different about morgan , okay ? and it started when he up and decided to go back to school . he was impulsive , h - he was moody , he was sleeping more in the afternoon , and i was worried sick about him ! but he assured me he was taking his medication and that he was going to therapy with you , so please , doctor , please explain it to me how you did not know something was wrong . andré : looking back at -- i find morgan 's emotional trajectory over the past few weeks to be very confusing . to be honest , i 've never seen anything quite like it . [ scene_break ] nelle : is everything okay ? sonny : yeah , it will be , as soon as ava leaves . nelle : okay , well , in case i watch avery again , i need to know , is it okay if ava just stops by to see her ? sonny : absolutely not . she does n't get to see my daughter unless there 's supervision . nelle : sounds like you hate her . sonny : what was your first clue ? nelle : well , there are different kinds of hate . there 's the hate that 's the flip side of love , where the person just gets to you , you know , gets under your skin . sonny : oh , yeah . nelle : then there 's the hate when you 're feel angry or betrayed . somebody you trusted just double - crossed you . it 's all mixed up with feelings of regret and wishing that things could have been different . sonny : yeah . nelle : but the way you look at ava ... you 're not mixed up , there 's no regret . it 's pure , ice cold . it 's almost as if to say the way that you hate her is ... dangerous . sonny : `` dangerous `` is the right word . nelle : so , how did you have a child together ? sonny : it 's a long , ugly story , which makes me look bad , and it makes ava look worse . the great part of the story is that little girl upstairs . she 's -- she 's a miracle , and i 'm gon na do everything to protect her . nelle : um , from ava ? sonny : ava is toxic . she ruins everything she touches . nelle : now , does that mean morgan ? she said that she and morgan were , like , good friends , and that 's why she was in his room . sonny : morgan was never ava 's friend . she manipulated him , she seduced him , turned him against his family . she tr -- even tricked him to betray his own girlfriend . and i 'm gon na tell you something about -- about morgan . he -- he had a generous heart . he was trustworthy . and he was vulnerable , and she took advantage of that . well , let me tell you something -- what goes around comes around . all the pain that she 's caused , she will pay . you say that my heart is -- is cold ? it is -- it is frozen . [ laughs ] it 's arctic . it 's not gon na soften . it 's not gon na thaw . i will hate ava ... for the rest of my life .

[ voice breaking ] and i 'm sorry . bye . griffin : maybe i should -- maybe i should go with them . charlotte could be in danger . nathan : no , claudette never would 've walked out that door if she thought that there was any danger to charlotte , again , presuming that there even is any danger . clearly , everything that comes out of that woman 's mouth is subject to verification . griffin : yeah . uh , hey , i , uh -- there 's something else i want to say . nathan : about what ? about claudette ? griffin : no , about you . [ scene_break ] carly : so you 're saying that no one could have predicted this ? that no one could have known that morgan would decline so quickly ? andré : i was monitoring him closely , and so were you . none of us could see how bad it was getting before it was too late to correct course . carly : i did . i saw it . a little more each day . something morgan would say that did n't make sense , his mood would shift , he 'd sleep late in the afternoon , and all the alarms in my head and in my heart were going off , because i knew something was wrong . but i was n't supposed to hover . i was n't supposed to police him . i was supposed to trust the process , to let morgan manage himself . i was supposed to get out of the way and let you treat him ! so that 's what i did ! i followed the rules , instead of following my instinct , and i 'm his mother . i 'm his mother , and if i would 've followed my instinct , my kid would still be alive ! andré : i know it feels that way , but there 's no way to know -- carly : oh , my god ! stop ! do n't ! do n't stand there and patronize me . please ? do n't do that , because my son is dead . my beautiful , perfect little boy is dead . so do n't stand there and tell me that there is nothing that anyone could have done . michael : mom -- mom , dr. maddox did his best to answer your questions . carly : i want dr. maddox to get the hell out of my house ! andré : mrs. corinthos , i am not making excuses for anyone , especially not myself . i will carry what happened with morgan for -- it does n't matter . again ... i am terribly sorry . carly : i do n't care what he says . i do n't care . you know , he can say that there 's nothing that i could 've done , there 's nothing anyone else could 've done , but i knew something was wrong . i knew something was wrong with morgan , and i did n't do anything to help him .

[ scene_break ] [ jax sighs ] [ monitor beeping ] jax : you know , this is not how i planned to spend our first night in our new house . carly : you had plans , did you ? jax : well , yes . i thought we could barbecue by the pool , and then play lots of games , huh ? get morgan really tired so he sleeps soundly through the night . carly : you are devious . jax : yes , i am . carly : i like it . jax : well , you give plenty incentive . carly : so , what else ? what else did you have planned ? jax : oh . afterwards , i thought we could check our new master suite . carly : mmm . nice . jax : and then , you could take a nice , relaxing bath by yourself , or a co - ed steam shower , perhaps ? carly : i like co - ed . jax : really ? carly : mm - hmm . you know , it 's all going to happen . it is . i promise you , no more craziness like tonight . jax : well , you were just being a hero , saving claudia . carly : yeah , well , i 'm not going to do that anymore . i do n't want any more drama . i do n't . i -- i 'm going to focus on getting my blood pressure down , and i 'm going to look ahead to a stress - free delivery . jax : oh , i like the sound of that . carly : mmm . [ knock on door ] jax : oh . johnny : hey . i 'm sorry to bug you guys again , but you seen sonny ? jax : no , he has n't been here . johnny : why give a damn , anyway ? he does n't care about the baby or claudia . jax : what happened ? johnny : the force of the accident was too much , and the baby 's not going to make it . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] claudia : that 's our little boy 's heartbeat , but it 's slipping away [ indistinct ] . sonny : you know what ? maybe you should n't -- you should n't even watch this . claudia : i did n't think that i would feel like this . i did n't think that being pregnant would change me , but it has . i ... did n't think that i could ever love anything as much as i love the idea of raising this little boy . i wish that there were more memories so i 'd have something else -- you know , something more , to hold onto . sonny : i guess it 's my fault . i should n't have been so unfair to you and the baby . claudia : well , as soon as you knew that it was yours , everything was going to change . sonny : you 're a good mother . you know , no matter what , even the short time this baby had , you already proved it .

[ kristin sighs ] sam : digging myself in deeper . i will regret that moment for the rest of my life . but you know what ? i did learn from it . the only way out of something bad is to face it , and honey , i 'm not saying that it 's ever going to be easy , but i do think it 's the best way . kristina : maybe you should be having this conversation with mom . i mean , she 's the one who 's doing back flips to try to cover up that stupid affair with mayor floyd , and who knows what else ? maybe she 's the one who caused claudia 's accident . sam : why are you so angry with her ? kristina : oh , will you just forget it ? can you please just leave me alone ? [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't know if you 've heard , but michael confessed to driving the car that forced claudia off the road . johnny : yeah . jax : jason seems to think that he 's mistaken , but in any case , he 's down at the pcpd , and he 's under arrest . of course , carly ca n't know about any of this , 'cause after helping claudia , her blood pressure spiked , and if she has any more bad news , it could push her into a stroke . johnny : yeah . she 's not going to hear anything from me . jax : okay . johnny : carly did n't have to do it . she did , and i owe her . i always will . i hope she gets better . jax : thanks . johnny : you know , it 's ironic , is n't it ? sonny 's son caused this whole accident , and claudia would n't be alive if sonny 's ex - wife did n't save her . jax : yeah . yeah , that is ironic .

[ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] claudia : that 's our little boy 's heartbeat , but it 's slipping away [ indistinct ] . sonny : you know what ? maybe you should n't -- you should n't even watch this . claudia : i did n't think that i would feel like this . i did n't think that being pregnant would change me , but it has . i ... did n't think that i could ever love anything as much as i love the idea of raising this little boy . i wish that there were more memories so i 'd have something else -- you know , something more , to hold onto . sonny : i guess it 's my fault . i should n't have been so unfair to you and the baby . claudia : well , as soon as you knew that it was yours , everything was going to change . sonny : you 're a good mother . you know , no matter what , even the short time this baby had , you already proved it .

[ kristin sighs ] sam : digging myself in deeper . i will regret that moment for the rest of my life . but you know what ? i did learn from it . the only way out of something bad is to face it , and honey , i 'm not saying that it 's ever going to be easy , but i do think it 's the best way . kristina : maybe you should be having this conversation with mom . i mean , she 's the one who 's doing back flips to try to cover up that stupid affair with mayor floyd , and who knows what else ? maybe she 's the one who caused claudia 's accident . sam : why are you so angry with her ? kristina : oh , will you just forget it ? can you please just leave me alone ? [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't know if you 've heard , but michael confessed to driving the car that forced claudia off the road . johnny : yeah . jax : jason seems to think that he 's mistaken , but in any case , he 's down at the pcpd , and he 's under arrest . of course , carly ca n't know about any of this , 'cause after helping claudia , her blood pressure spiked , and if she has any more bad news , it could push her into a stroke . johnny : yeah . she 's not going to hear anything from me . jax : okay . johnny : carly did n't have to do it . she did , and i owe her . i always will . i hope she gets better . jax : thanks . johnny : you know , it 's ironic , is n't it ? sonny 's son caused this whole accident , and claudia would n't be alive if sonny 's ex - wife did n't save her . jax : yeah . yeah , that is ironic . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] carly : what was that about ? not telling me is going to cause my blood pressure to rise . you know that , right ? jax : johnny was looking for sonny . told him we have n't seen him . carly : what 's going on ? why was he looking for sonny ?

[ dramatic music ] abigail : how 's gabi ? dario : she 's unconscious in a hospital bed ... because of you . abigail : dario , do n't do that . dario : do n't what ? do n't tell the truth ? because you keep dragging my sister into every mess that you create . chad : last night i was under the impression -- dario : i know , last night i was so relieved that no one had died that i did n't even get to process what had actually happened or why , but now -- chad : and now you 're -- now you 're blaming me ? dario : you know , you and your family can make all the enemies you want , but you should really start thinking about your loved ones . abigail : okay , this is supposed to be about gabi . chad : i apologize that you 're angry -- dario : that 's great ! that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside , but the truth of the matter is -- is that if you had n't decided to go all dimera , deimos would n't have decided to go after your wife and my sister . and i think we both know why he did what he did . why he took both of them . abigail : can we please just focus on gabi ? dario : you wan na focus on gabi ? okay . gabi 's not getting any better . her breathing is labored and getting worse and the doctors ca n't figure out why . it 's like she -- she 's not even trying . abigail : [ sighs ] are you okay ? chad : yeah . abigail : okay . i should go check on him . chad : you okay ? abigail : yeah .

[ dramatic music ] eduardo : i wan na thank you for saving my daughter 's life . chad : um , dario thinks that it 's my fault that she 's in here . eduardo : yeah , well , dario needs to be angry right now . it 's easier than facing the possibilities . we 're just very worried about gabi . chad : yeah , abigail and i are too . we were hoping that there would be some good news . eduardo : there 's nothing yet . just have to wait . chad : this was deimos . i ca n't prove it , but i know it . eduardo : yeah , yeah . we 're in the same position regarding that man . i will move on him eventually , but i do n't just want revenge . no , i wan na make sure that he is broken . i wan na see him in pieces . powerless . but to do that , i need proof . chad : i 'll get you the proof . eduardo : that 's good . i 'm glad we 're on the same page . she 's not breathing well . talking about putting her on a machine . you know , the thing is with that ...

[ dramatic music ] abigail : how 's gabi ? dario : she 's unconscious in a hospital bed ... because of you . abigail : dario , do n't do that . dario : do n't what ? do n't tell the truth ? because you keep dragging my sister into every mess that you create . chad : last night i was under the impression -- dario : i know , last night i was so relieved that no one had died that i did n't even get to process what had actually happened or why , but now -- chad : and now you 're -- now you 're blaming me ? dario : you know , you and your family can make all the enemies you want , but you should really start thinking about your loved ones . abigail : okay , this is supposed to be about gabi . chad : i apologize that you 're angry -- dario : that 's great ! that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside , but the truth of the matter is -- is that if you had n't decided to go all dimera , deimos would n't have decided to go after your wife and my sister . and i think we both know why he did what he did . why he took both of them . abigail : can we please just focus on gabi ? dario : you wan na focus on gabi ? okay . gabi 's not getting any better . her breathing is labored and getting worse and the doctors ca n't figure out why . it 's like she -- she 's not even trying . abigail : [ sighs ] are you okay ? chad : yeah . abigail : okay . i should go check on him . chad : you okay ? abigail : yeah . [ monitors beeping ] abigail : wait , wait . marlena : brady , this is so , so sad . and i ache for nicole . but you 've got to think of tate . and it 's for his sake you have to give this up . brady : ca n't do it . i told you i love her . i love her . you and dad , you always told me that when you 're in love , being in love meant that you had to accept some sacrifices . you always told me that . marlena : why does tate have to make the sacrifice ? you 're making the decision for him because he is too young to make it for himself . brady ... does nicole love you ? and if she does n't -- i mean , are you making the sacrifice for no reason at all ? brady : i guess that 's a chance that i 'm gon na have to take . [ dramatic music ] eduardo : i wan na thank you for saving my daughter 's life . chad : um , dario thinks that it 's my fault that she 's in here . eduardo : yeah , well , dario needs to be angry right now . it 's easier than facing the possibilities . we 're just very worried about gabi . chad : yeah , abigail and i are too . we were hoping that there would be some good news . eduardo : there 's nothing yet . just have to wait . chad : this was deimos . i ca n't prove it , but i know it . eduardo : yeah , yeah . we 're in the same position regarding that man . i will move on him eventually , but i do n't just want revenge . no , i wan na make sure that he is broken . i wan na see him in pieces . powerless . but to do that , i need proof . chad : i 'll get you the proof . eduardo : that 's good . i 'm glad we 're on the same page . she 's not breathing well . talking about putting her on a machine . you know , the thing is with that ... [ sighs ] you do that , it 's not clear that you can ever regain the strength to breathe on your own again , so , that 's uh ... [ sighs ] that 's where we stand . if you 'll excuse me i got ta go talk to her doctor . chad : mm - hmm . [ somber music ] abigail : dario , hey , wait . [ sighs ] dario : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that -- that i went off on chad in front of you like that . abigail : it 's okay . i understand how you feel . hey , and so does he , but ... you were n't there . i mean , he saved gabi 's life . really . so you need to be directing all of this anger at deimos . dario : trust me , i will make sure that deimos pays for what he did , but what about what chad did ? abigail : i know . i know that he provoked deimos and i thought that it was a bad idea , too , but i -- dario : i 'm not talking about chad and deimos . i 'm talking about him ... and you and gabi . abigail : okay . i know that chad and gabi got close , but you need to blame me for that because i 'm the one that let them think that i was dead . dario : and he made gabi his primary grief counselor . he made sure she knew how lost and alone he was . how he 's a single father now . abigail : no , it -- it 's not like that . dario : i - i was there . you were n't . let 's go back to when you did come back , okay ? chad ... chad did n't want to let gabi go . he did n't want to let go of all that love and understanding . he wanted to keep gabi on a string . that jerk has two women in love with him and he does n't deserve either one of them . abigail : dario , it 's not even that -- it 's not that simple . dario : i 'll tell you what 's simple . he has a wife . a wife who is beautiful ... and sweet and smart . who deserves a husband who would treat her like that . you deserve someone who loves you and only you like -- like i do .

[ chuckles ] nick : i did want to talk to you without chelsea around . all your , uh , questions about calvin 's death kind of freaked her out . you 're not seriously looking at chelsea as a suspect in this , are you ? paul : it 's just routine questioning . i mean , i 'm not jumping to any conclusions , but i 'm not ruling out any possible scenarios , either . nick : all right . well , that sounds good . paul : all right . but tracking me down here to find out what i 'm thinking kind of sends up a pretty big red flag . i mean , why would chelsea be worried if she did n't have anything to do with her husband 's death ? nick : you know why . paul : because she 's done some unscrupulous things in the past . nick : in another life . paul : that life was n't that long ago . nick : look , anything that chelsea may have done in her past pales in comparison to some of the things adam 's done . paul : adam ? nick : nobody has bigger motive than adam to want chelsea 's husband dead . i mean , he wants chelsea back . her husband was the biggest obstacle . he gets rid of calvin , the path is clear . paul : another theory would be that chelsea 's husband is a wealthy , older man that may have left her a lot of money . have you heard anything about a will or an insurance policy ? nick : look , i do n't know anything about that . but what i know is , chelsea is not a killer . she 's not even grifting anymore . paul : i 'll take your words under advisement . nick : look , if there is anything suspicious going on here , you need to be looking at adam . paul : okay , nick . what you need to do is take a deep breath and let us do our work . right now , we do n't have any proof at all that this is anything but a natural death . okay ? why would dad think that he 's welcome to lola 's wedding , let alone walking her down the aisle ? celeste : he 's her father . it 's custom . rey : yeah , father 's do n't abandon their kids and then waltz back into their lives pretending that nothing happened . i mean , where does he even get off calling you , putting you in the middle of all this ? celeste : he did n't call . he -- actually , he 's the one who drove me to the airport when i was coming here . rey : what ? wait , wait . that 's not something that deadbeat husbands do . celeste : he 's actually been in touch lately . rey : since when ? a - and why ? what could he possibly have to say to you after all these years ? celeste : he just calls on occasion . we have -- you know , we talk about you kids . and [ sighs ] the weather , he sometimes asks for money ... rey : [ scoffing ] oh , my -- are you -- are you kidding me ? tell me you do n't give it to him . celeste : it actually feels pretty good having him come to me on bended knee , needing something from me , after i booted him out all those years ago . rey : whoa , whoa , whoa . you mean ... after he walked out on us . celeste : he cheated . i helped him out the door . what 's the difference ? rey : okay , look , nobody understands the destruction that cheating causes more than i do , okay . i 've been a husband trying to save a marriage , and a boy trying to protect his mother . which is why i do n't understand how you can let dad back into your life . he broke you into a thousand pieces . he broke all of us . celeste : i know . let 's just -- you know , let 's just drop it right now , okay ? can we just forget that i mentioned it ? rey : yeah . celeste : okay . rey : it 's already forgotten . but you can not mention this to lola . it 's not fair to dump this on her before her wedding . celeste : okay . rey : promise me you will drop this . celeste : i will . rey : because lola 's big day should be about lola . and what she needs right now is her mother , who has always been there for her . kyle : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] [ cellphone rings ] hey . i left a little while ago . what 's up ? theo : a new plan for tonight . kyle : nah , i 'm good . i 'm in for the evening . theo : don - don 's in town . kyle : don - don del rio ? theo : you know another one ? he has n't seen you in forever , and he misses you . kyle : uh , we 're not the kind of friends that miss each other . and he 's the guy at the party that always breaks something . theo : [ chuckles ] yeah . kyle : why is he here ? theo : oh , he heard about my new gig and wanted to celebrate . so he packed up his jet with his crew from new york . they 're landing now . so grab lola and get back here . kyle : that sounds ... fun , but i 'm out . tell him i 'll catch up with him tomorrow night . theo : but they 're flying out in the morning . oh , come on . what , are you worried about your mommy - in - law finding out ? kyle : nice try . [ knock on door ] i got to go . i 'll talk to you later . oh ! i 'm so glad to see you . lola : me too . who was that ? kyle : does n't matter . all that matters is you , me , this big house , and making up for lost time . lola : mm . nick : hey . rey : sorry i 'm late . nick : no , it 's all good . i got a lot going on , too . but nothing 's more important than this custody case , so i want to hear everything that happened in vegas . rey : yeah , well , it was interesting . nick : all right , first , can you just tell me , is sharon okay ? rey : why ? nick : i called her to see if she needed me to pick up faith from soccer camp and ... i do n't know . she sounded a little off . rey : in what way ? nick : it 's kind of hard to explain . it 's just something in her voice . you know , from years of experience . rey : well , things got a little tense while we were away . nick : why ? because of adam ? of course because of adam . [ sighs ] why did she go with you , anyway ? rey : she wanted to get out of town . though we could make it a romantic getaway . but it was a mistake . does n't matter what we do or where we go these days . your brother is always in her head . nick : look , rey , just say the word , you know , if this is hitting too close to home . i can find somebody else to look into it . rey : there 's no way that i am walking away from this now . even if you were n't paying me , i 'd still be digging up dirt on this guy . i can not let him get his hooks any deeper into sharon . and i think i may have found something . nick : really ? what do you got ? rey : well , most of what adam said about his time in vegas was true . although he did whitewash some of spider 's gambling exploits . nick : not a surprise . rey : but the big thing he neglected to mention was that he was hanging out with someone else from genoa city . nick : from genoa city ? rey : mm - hmm . nick : who ? rey : a guy by the name of phillip chancellor iv . nick : chance ? are you sure ? rey : yeah . i confirmed it with multiple sources . nick : i mean , that 's ... i ca n't believe that . i mean , the chance that i knew was such a great guy . rey : well , maybe he 's changed since the last time you two talked . i pulled up his rap sheet . he got busted for assault . guess who bailed him out ? nick : adam ? nick : this sounds crazy to me , i mean , that they would even cross paths . talk about two completely different people . where 's chance now ? rey : fell off the grid . maybe he bolted when people started asking questions about spider . or maybe there 's more to it . kyle : you hear the sound of that ? the sound of nobody ? [ sighs ] is your mom really okay being back at the hotel ? lola : i am sure she 's complaining up a storm to whoever will listen -- the front - desk guys , the bellboys , rey . kyle : i do n't want to cause a problem between you and your mom . lola : no , you have been great . and she has not made things easy for any of us . but this will be fine . it 's par for the course with a rosales woman . she just does n't want her baby girl to grow up . but it 's already happened . kyle : [ sighs ] lola : so she needs to come to terms with it . she will . kyle : i think it all comes from a good place . 'cause she loves you . lola : i know , and i love her , too , so much . i promise , i will call her tomorrow and smooth things over . but for tonight , we have this entire place to ourselves , so why do n't we just take advantage of it ?

[ sighs ] i know that you 're feeling a lot of hurt about that . but this baby is gon na be your first niece or nephew , my first grandchild . and no matter what went on with all of you , i just feel like we have to pull together as a family for this baby . rey : [ snickers quietly ] you 're asking for a lot , mom . too much . celeste : arturo is your brother . that 's forever . rey : yeah , and i - i told him that i hope he and mia find what they are looking for . and that 's all i got right now . celeste : okay . well , he 's -- he 's made great strides since he 's been home . and the most important thing to him right now is being a great father . rey : well , i wish him the best of luck with that . he had a hell of a role model . celeste : okay , well , you do n't have to speak badly about your father . rey : i 'm sorry i brought it up . celeste : i 'm glad that you did bring it up , actually . um ... 'cause there 's something i need to talk to you about . rey : what ? celeste : your father wants to come to the wedding . and walk lola down the aisle . rey : hell no . paul : hey , nick . this a coincidence or are you following me ? [ chuckles ] nick : i did want to talk to you without chelsea around . all your , uh , questions about calvin 's death kind of freaked her out . you 're not seriously looking at chelsea as a suspect in this , are you ? paul : it 's just routine questioning . i mean , i 'm not jumping to any conclusions , but i 'm not ruling out any possible scenarios , either . nick : all right . well , that sounds good . paul : all right . but tracking me down here to find out what i 'm thinking kind of sends up a pretty big red flag . i mean , why would chelsea be worried if she did n't have anything to do with her husband 's death ? nick : you know why . paul : because she 's done some unscrupulous things in the past . nick : in another life . paul : that life was n't that long ago . nick : look , anything that chelsea may have done in her past pales in comparison to some of the things adam 's done . paul : adam ? nick : nobody has bigger motive than adam to want chelsea 's husband dead . i mean , he wants chelsea back . her husband was the biggest obstacle . he gets rid of calvin , the path is clear . paul : another theory would be that chelsea 's husband is a wealthy , older man that may have left her a lot of money . have you heard anything about a will or an insurance policy ? nick : look , i do n't know anything about that . but what i know is , chelsea is not a killer . she 's not even grifting anymore . paul : i 'll take your words under advisement . nick : look , if there is anything suspicious going on here , you need to be looking at adam . paul : okay , nick . what you need to do is take a deep breath and let us do our work . right now , we do n't have any proof at all that this is anything but a natural death . okay ? why would dad think that he 's welcome to lola 's wedding , let alone walking her down the aisle ? celeste : he 's her father . it 's custom . rey : yeah , father 's do n't abandon their kids and then waltz back into their lives pretending that nothing happened . i mean , where does he even get off calling you , putting you in the middle of all this ? celeste : he did n't call . he -- actually , he 's the one who drove me to the airport when i was coming here . rey : what ? wait , wait . that 's not something that deadbeat husbands do . celeste : he 's actually been in touch lately . rey : since when ? a - and why ? what could he possibly have to say to you after all these years ? celeste : he just calls on occasion . we have -- you know , we talk about you kids . and [ sighs ] the weather , he sometimes asks for money ... rey : [ scoffing ] oh , my -- are you -- are you kidding me ? tell me you do n't give it to him . celeste : it actually feels pretty good having him come to me on bended knee , needing something from me , after i booted him out all those years ago . rey : whoa , whoa , whoa . you mean ... after he walked out on us . celeste : he cheated . i helped him out the door . what 's the difference ? rey : okay , look , nobody understands the destruction that cheating causes more than i do , okay . i 've been a husband trying to save a marriage , and a boy trying to protect his mother . which is why i do n't understand how you can let dad back into your life . he broke you into a thousand pieces . he broke all of us . celeste : i know . let 's just -- you know , let 's just drop it right now , okay ? can we just forget that i mentioned it ? rey : yeah . celeste : okay . rey : it 's already forgotten . but you can not mention this to lola . it 's not fair to dump this on her before her wedding . celeste : okay . rey : promise me you will drop this . celeste : i will . rey : because lola 's big day should be about lola . and what she needs right now is her mother , who has always been there for her . kyle : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] [ cellphone rings ] hey . i left a little while ago . what 's up ? theo : a new plan for tonight . kyle : nah , i 'm good . i 'm in for the evening . theo : don - don 's in town . kyle : don - don del rio ? theo : you know another one ? he has n't seen you in forever , and he misses you . kyle : uh , we 're not the kind of friends that miss each other . and he 's the guy at the party that always breaks something . theo : [ chuckles ] yeah . kyle : why is he here ? theo : oh , he heard about my new gig and wanted to celebrate . so he packed up his jet with his crew from new york . they 're landing now . so grab lola and get back here . kyle : that sounds ... fun , but i 'm out . tell him i 'll catch up with him tomorrow night . theo : but they 're flying out in the morning . oh , come on . what , are you worried about your mommy - in - law finding out ? kyle : nice try . [ knock on door ] i got to go . i 'll talk to you later . oh ! i 'm so glad to see you . lola : me too . who was that ? kyle : does n't matter . all that matters is you , me , this big house , and making up for lost time . lola : mm . nick : hey . rey : sorry i 'm late . nick : no , it 's all good . i got a lot going on , too . but nothing 's more important than this custody case , so i want to hear everything that happened in vegas . rey : yeah , well , it was interesting . nick : all right , first , can you just tell me , is sharon okay ? rey : why ? nick : i called her to see if she needed me to pick up faith from soccer camp and ... i do n't know . she sounded a little off . rey : in what way ? nick : it 's kind of hard to explain . it 's just something in her voice . you know , from years of experience . rey : well , things got a little tense while we were away . nick : why ? because of adam ? of course because of adam . [ sighs ] why did she go with you , anyway ? rey : she wanted to get out of town . though we could make it a romantic getaway . but it was a mistake . does n't matter what we do or where we go these days . your brother is always in her head . nick : look , rey , just say the word , you know , if this is hitting too close to home . i can find somebody else to look into it . rey : there 's no way that i am walking away from this now . even if you were n't paying me , i 'd still be digging up dirt on this guy . i can not let him get his hooks any deeper into sharon . and i think i may have found something . nick : really ? what do you got ? rey : well , most of what adam said about his time in vegas was true . although he did whitewash some of spider 's gambling exploits . nick : not a surprise . rey : but the big thing he neglected to mention was that he was hanging out with someone else from genoa city . nick : from genoa city ? rey : mm - hmm . nick : who ? rey : a guy by the name of phillip chancellor iv . nick : chance ? are you sure ? rey : yeah . i confirmed it with multiple sources . nick : i mean , that 's ... i ca n't believe that . i mean , the chance that i knew was such a great guy . rey : well , maybe he 's changed since the last time you two talked . i pulled up his rap sheet . he got busted for assault . guess who bailed him out ? nick : adam ? nick : this sounds crazy to me , i mean , that they would even cross paths . talk about two completely different people . where 's chance now ? rey : fell off the grid . maybe he bolted when people started asking questions about spider . or maybe there 's more to it . kyle : you hear the sound of that ? the sound of nobody ? [ sighs ] is your mom really okay being back at the hotel ? lola : i am sure she 's complaining up a storm to whoever will listen -- the front - desk guys , the bellboys , rey . kyle : i do n't want to cause a problem between you and your mom . lola : no , you have been great . and she has not made things easy for any of us . but this will be fine . it 's par for the course with a rosales woman . she just does n't want her baby girl to grow up . but it 's already happened . kyle : [ sighs ] lola : so she needs to come to terms with it . she will . kyle : i think it all comes from a good place .

tabitha : ooh , there 's sheridan 's cottage . ooh . oh . oh , i 'm woozy . oh , that must be my pregnancy . sometimes if the energy 's just draining out of me . oh , i have to just grin and bear , i suppose . oh , i 'm glad nobody knows i 've got a bun in the oven . i 'd have a devil of a job trying to explain that one . anyway , i ca n't that now . no . i 've got a job to do . tonight i am spreading pain and misery all over harmony . oh , my magic potpourri is going to bowl ms . sheridan over . oh , these delicious little bombs i 'm going to be dropping all over harmony will cause all kinds of suffering . oh , you are a clever girl , tabby . look at all these pretty things -- so diverse , so useful -- all my too , too wicked potions . oh , yes , there 's enough here to cause some serious pain and heartache . hmm . that reminds me . i wonder how liz is getting on . i wonder if that candle i gave her is doing its job . liz : oh , my god -- voice : you can get revenge on eve . steal t.c . and her family away from her . liz : what the -- voice : the answer you 're seeking is in the backyard , in the shed . liz : i had no idea this would be in the shed . t.c . -- oh , my god . t.c . : you see , sweetheart ? i knew that whitney would listen to reason . i mean , she is too smart to throw everything away by going to l.a. with chad . eve : but she only said that she would stay in harmony for six months , then if she wants to go and be with chad , we told her we 'd give her our blessing . t.c . : baby , she 's going to forget about him the minute he 's gone . eve : no . she really loves him , t.c . t.c . : she only thinks she does . her heart is with us , always was and always will be . ok , whit , come on . let 's go . we 're going home . chad : whitney , no . you ca n't leave . t.c . : boy , you better shut the hell up . chad : listen to me . t.c . : whitney has made her decision . she 's going home with her mother and her father , and there 's not a damn thing you can do about it . hank : luis . luis : hey . hank : where are you headed ? you 're off to see sheridan ? luis : no . beth . i got to talk to her about something . hank : well , i 'm glad i ran into you . i was going to come see you anyway . luis : about what ? hank : well , you know , i got into the police academy . luis : that 's right . yeah . how 's that going ? hank : it 's tough . but i 'm sticking with it . it 's something i always wanted to do . luis : well , man , you 're going to make a great cop , just like your brother and your dad . hank : yeah , i hope so . anyway , they let me log on to the police computers , so i 've been checking out all the arsonists in the harmony area , trying to get a clue of who set this fire to sheridan 's cottage . luis : yeah . well , the police academy computer 's tied with t f.b.i . , so , i mean , you should be able to come up with every name within 500 miles . hank : oh , i found names , all right , but none of them matched the profile . i came up empty , luis . luis : well , the fire at sheridan 's cottage was definitely arson . hank : well , i agree . it 's just we do n't have a clue who did it . luis : yeah . someone 's tryingo o kill sheridan . but who can it be ? mrs. wallace : you are a wicked girl , beth . how could you even think of killing a sweet girl like sheridan ? beth : if you 'd like me to put you out of your misery , mother , just say the word . mrs. wallace : at least think of her unborn baby . she 's pregnant ! beth : yep . sheridan 's preggers , a r right . mrs. wallace : oh , you are a horrible , horrible girl . beth : sheridan took luis away from me . she stole my man , and i 'm horrible ? charlie : beth ? beth : yes , charlie . charlie : i just want to let you know i 'm still trying to come up with the perfect way for us to get out of harmony after we kill sheridan . beth : well , what have you got ? charlie : well , nothing concrete yet , but i 'm getting close to something -- a foolproof way to conceal our identities . beth : ok , well , just keep working on it , because we need a way to escape . charlie : anything for you , beth . you 're my special friend . mrs. wallace : her only friend . all right , all right . you want this wacko to help you out with your diabolical plan ? fine , because it looks like charlie would like nothing more than to share her jail cell with you for the rest of your unnatural lives . beth : we will get away with this , mother . mark my word . mrs. wallace : maybe . but i would n't count on charlie letting you get away with luis . no , the way i look at it , she 's going to want you all to herself to be her special friend beth : well , if that happens , i 'll just deal with it . right now i just want sheridan dead . tabitha : i wonder what kind of hell my potpourri will unleash on sheridan ? oh , i think it 's time to find out . sheridan : who could that be ? sheridan : tabitha . what 's she doing here ? tabitha : oh , you 're home , dear . i thought i 'd missed you . sheridan : well , why ? what did you want to see me about ? tabitha : i wanted to give you a present -- something that will absolutely blow your mind . 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 regular liners are out this year . liz : i had no idea . dear god . i had no idea . chad : you can give me all the bad looks you want to , coach . it does n't make u u right . t.c . : you know what , boy ? i 'll give you more than looks . whitney : daddy -- eve : stop it . honey , come on . come . why do you insist on doing the wrong thing , the absolute opposite of what it is that you should be doing ? t.c . : sweetheart , i am trying to get our daughter home . how is that wrong ? eve : you ca n't be so controlling , or so angry . t.c . : whitney has already made her choice , and he wo n't leave her alone . eve : if you would just listen to me , we will get our daughter back . whitney just said that she would stay here for six months , just like i asked , did n't she ? t.c . : yes . eve : and she could just as easily change her mind if you continue to play with her emotions . so just -- just do what i say and then calm down . t.c . : all right , sweetheart . i -- i will calm down . eve : and if she wants to talk to chad some more , let her . t.c . : but , honey , he 's the one that 's putting pressure on her . eve : honey , she 's made her decision . it 's going to be ok . trust me . t.c . : all right , baby . if you say so . eve : sweetheart , honey , if you need to talk to chad some more , you just go right ahead . we understand , do n't we , honey ?

hank : i know protecting sheridan is priority one . something tells me there 's more going on with you , luis . luis : well , it 's just -- it 's just the same old situation of tonio and sheridan . hank : i mean , you and sheridan have to tell antonio about the two of you . luis : well , we try . you know , it 's just every time , something happens , y k know , like at the hospital , when we find out that sheridan 's pregnant . hank : what ? luis : that 's right . you did n't know that sheridan 's pregnant . hank : that 's wonderful . is n't it ? luis : yeah , it 's great . hank : i know i should n't ask this , but -- luis : is the baby mine ? well , sheridan and i would like to believe that it is . hank : but it could be antonio 's . luis : well , it 's probably mine . but it could be antonio 's . hank : how do you feel about that ? luis : well , it does n't matter . you know , of course i would like it to be mine . you see , the important thing is , you know , we find out the truth and then sheridan and i could be together , but it 's just like , you know , something is keeping uspart . it 's like -- it 's like someone 's pulling strings , playing us like puppets . mrs. wallace : well , i always said you 'd never get a man . looks like i was only half right . beth : you 're disgusting , mother . mrs. wallace : i 'm not judging you . after all , i always knew you were different , just not that kind of different . besides , now that you have charlie here as your special friend , you do n't need luis , so you can stop this diabolical plan here to kill sheridan . beth : i am going to kill sheridan , and i 'm going to have luis . mrs. wallace : i am telling you that charlie will never let you be with luis , because once she helps you kill sheridan , she might as well murder luis to keep him away from you ! beth : do you seriously think i would let that happen ? mrs. wallace : how are you going to stop it ? beth : i 'll just -- i 'll just humor charlie till my plan to kill sheridan is executed . then once sheridan 's gone , i 'll figure out a way to get rid of charlie . mrs. wallace : and i 'm going to figure out a way to stop you . ooh , i know . i can tell luis what you are up to . that 'll certainly throw a monkey wrench in your plan , now , wo n't it , tootsie ? sheridan : tabitha , how did you get here ? tabitha : the old - fashioned way , dear . i hoofed it . sheridan : no . i mean , how did you get past the guards ? tabitha : what ? those dear men ? oh , we had a lovely little chat . they told me all about the terrible fire you had here and how you nearly died . oh , that 's dreadful . but i hearouou have some good news , too . sheridan : good news ? tabitha : yes . you 're going to have a baby . congratulations . sheridan : how did you know i 'm pregnant ? i mean , the guards do n't even know . tabitha : oh ! kay : oh ! tabitha : oh ! oh ! oh ! damn it ! it 's gone . oh . and now with all that splashing , we 'll never see the image of the baby 's mother . oh . kay : tabitha , i think you 're wrong . i can see the image pretty clearly now . you might want to come take a look at this . tabitha : what ? oh , no . oh , no , it ca n't be . ugh . oh , no , it ca n't be . really , sheridan , i ca n't remember how i found out . but this is a very small town , you know . word travels fast . sheridan : well , i still do n't understand how you got to the cottage . i mean , luis left a list with the guards , and only people on the list were to be admitted . tabitha : oh , yes , but everyone in harmony knows me . i 'm just a harmless little old lady . sheridan : but how did you even know that i would be up ? tabitha : i did n't even know you 'd be in . i just took a chance . may i come in ? sheridan : oh , yes , of course . we have to be quiet , though . i have a full house . theresa , little ethan , and antonio are all asleep . tabitha : oh , i 'll be quiet as a mouse . oh , what an adorable place . well , i think my potpourri will make this sweet little cottage even more homey . sheridan : i thought you said it would blow me away . tabitha : well , i 'm hoping that the aroma will blow you away . it 's very aromatic . sheridan : my god ! that wind ! tabitha 's voice : it 's starting , sheridan . riding on the wings of that wind is a little slice of hell . luis : it 's just that every time we try and tell antonio the truth , something happens . you know , he goes blind or he goes into a coma . hank : but you 're glad he 's all right . luis : yeah , of course . i do n't mean to sound cold , and nobody 's happier that my brother has survived his illness and is going to be all right . it 's just that -- and i 'm just so damn frustrated with the situation . hank : i know . luis : now sheridan 's pregnant . i feel terrible for her . the pressure is really taking its toll . hank : well , we 'll find the guy that 's trying to kill her . that 's going to take some of the pressure off her and you . luis : i kept trying to think of suspects who might be trying to kill sheridan , and two names kept popping into my head -- alistair and julian . hank : you always thought they were behind that boat explosion . luis : her own brother and father . it just makes me sick . hank : but would they be that obvious ? i mean , the cranes are pretty slick . and to set fire to sheridan 's cottage ? i do n't know . luis : well , if not them , then who ? who else would have the motive to kill sheridan ? beth : you 're not going to tell luis , mother , and you are not going to stop me from killing sheridan . mrs. wallace : no ? beth : no , because if you do , i 'll go to jail . mrs. wallace : for a long , long time . beth : yeah , exactly . and you will be all alone . no one to take care of you . you 'll become a ward of the state , and you know what that means , mother . you 'll be placed in a state - run home . mrs. wallace : no . beth : oh , yes . but at least you wo n't have to worry about anyone clipping your toenails in a state facility , because the rats will take care of that during the night . mrs. wallace : agh ! oh , angels , save me ! beth : yeah , is that what you want , or would you prefer that i do what i promised before ? mrs. wallace : oh , you 've promised a lot of things , and they 're all hideous ! beth : name you as an accomplice . that way you just -- you go to the state penitentiary with me . mrs. wallace : no . no . beth : mm - hmm , ye .. charlie : bethie ! found it . beth : what ? charlie : i just figured out a way for us to escape after we kill sheridan , a way to conceal our identities . beth : i knew you could do it , charlie . charlie : just look at this . mrs. wallace : oh . god help you , sheridan . now i do n't know h a anyone could save you . dear -- sheridan : what is going on ? i thought i closed the door . tabitha : that 's better . it was getting a bit drafty . sheridan : a bit ? where did that come from ? it was n't windy a minute ago . tabitha : oh , well , you know what they say , dear . if you live in new england , if you do n't like the weather , wait a few minutes and it 'll change . sheridan : i suppose . thank you so much for this potpourri . it really was very thoughtful of you . tabitha : oh , i just wanted to give you something special , dear . i mean , it 's not every day a woman finds out that she 's pregnant . sheridan : to find out that i have a child growing inside of me -- i mean , this is -- it 's wonderful . tabitha : hmm . yes , i can only imagine what you 're feeling . doctor : i 'm back . tabitha : so i see . what 's the verdict ?

[ cell phone chimes ] ridge : [ sighs ] i got to deal with something . brooke : okay . ridge : so we 'll talk later . brooke : yep . i 'll be here . ridge : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ahh ahh - ahh - ahh ahh i took a minute , had to sit right back 'cause i 'm givin ' lovin ' with my heart attached and i never knew that it could be like that loving you the way i do so whether morning , noon , or night whenever , baby , i 'm feeling all right and i 'm staying with you long after lovin ' is through morning , noon , and night hey more than a lover , baby , you 're my friend got to keep on giving , baby , till the end and it hurts so much when i 'm without your lips morning , noon , and night rick : what 's going on with you two ? i thought you were getting back together . brooke : of course , we are . it 's only a matter of time before ridge realizes how important it is for us to be a family again . rick : when he came back , i thought for sure you guys would be picking up where you left off . brooke : well , a lot has happened this last year . rick : ridge never expected you and bill . brooke : nobody did . not even me . rick : is that completely over ? brooke : absolutely . rick : then what is he waiting for ? brooke : i just have to earn his trust and his respect again . and i 'm doing that . it 's gon na happen . he is going to come home to me and to our family . there 's one thing i 'm sure of . i will always be the love of ridge 's life .

[ sighs ] you know , i think that -- i think people deal with life by using the tools that we inherit from our families . we reach for those tools when our backs are up against the wall . and , you know , we usually go for what 's familiar and easy . and some kids , you know , they get different things . some kids get anger , you know , and hate and lies . and some people get love and understanding . or secrets and fear . mariah : like tessa . bad tools . devon : exactly . and ... you know , i think the best thing for you would probably be to just give her some space . but in the meantime , you try and fill that void with your own love and understanding . mariah : that 's what you did with hilary . devon : if you dig deep enough , mariah , you 'll find that there 's bad in the best of us , and there 's good in the worst of us . michael : [ chuckles ] devon : it 's true . there 's nothing about love that 's cut - and - dry . when i think about how much time i wasted expecting hilary to be something different ... mariah : you made her so happy , devon . devon : if i could give you any advice , it would be to not waste any time . and to love tessa with a full , open heart , and find the bright spots in all of her flaws , and do n't try to change her . do n't try to change the things that made you fall in love with her in the first place , 'cause i think a lot of people make that mistake . let her know that you 're there for her . you 're not going anywhere . you 're not judging her . and do n't live in fear . do n't try to create reasons to back away or to push her away . you know ? just love her for who she is . if i did n't learn that lesson , i would have missed out on one of the most beautiful times of my life . and i think that 's what people should really be afraid of . mia : wait for it . [ cellphone chimes ] my contact info . call me any time you need a stylist . or just someone to chat over cocktails . abby : [ chuckles ] arturo : she actually has a team on call 24/7 . abby : well , in case someone 's out of town or busy , it 's always good to have a backup plan . mia : once you see the photo shoot from jabot , i 'll be the top of your list . abby : it sounds like your schedule might already be full before you even get started . mia : for you , abby , i 'll always make room . [ abby laughs ] arturo : you 've been in town , what , a couple days ? you really should n't be making plans . you might not even end up staying . mia : why would n't i ? arturo : rey 's case could wrap up any day now . he 's gon na go back to florida and take you with him . mia : and in the meantime , you expect me to sit alone in my apartment with nothing to do , twiddling my thumbs ? no , i 'd like to keep busy . arturo : always up to something . mia : mm . well , i do n't know what 's going on with rey 's case , but it does n't seem like it 's winding down . abby : you might be right . in the last couple days , it 's gone from a missing- persons investigation to a murder case . mia : see , arturo ? i 'm gon na be around for a long , long time .

[ sighs ] you know , i think that -- i think people deal with life by using the tools that we inherit from our families . we reach for those tools when our backs are up against the wall . and , you know , we usually go for what 's familiar and easy . and some kids , you know , they get different things . some kids get anger , you know , and hate and lies . and some people get love and understanding . or secrets and fear . mariah : like tessa . bad tools . devon : exactly . and ... you know , i think the best thing for you would probably be to just give her some space . but in the meantime , you try and fill that void with your own love and understanding . mariah : that 's what you did with hilary . devon : if you dig deep enough , mariah , you 'll find that there 's bad in the best of us , and there 's good in the worst of us . michael : [ chuckles ] devon : it 's true . there 's nothing about love that 's cut - and - dry . when i think about how much time i wasted expecting hilary to be something different ... mariah : you made her so happy , devon . devon : if i could give you any advice , it would be to not waste any time . and to love tessa with a full , open heart , and find the bright spots in all of her flaws , and do n't try to change her . do n't try to change the things that made you fall in love with her in the first place , 'cause i think a lot of people make that mistake . let her know that you 're there for her . you 're not going anywhere . you 're not judging her . and do n't live in fear . do n't try to create reasons to back away or to push her away . you know ? just love her for who she is . if i did n't learn that lesson , i would have missed out on one of the most beautiful times of my life . and i think that 's what people should really be afraid of . mia : wait for it . [ cellphone chimes ] my contact info . call me any time you need a stylist . or just someone to chat over cocktails . abby : [ chuckles ] arturo : she actually has a team on call 24/7 . abby : well , in case someone 's out of town or busy , it 's always good to have a backup plan . mia : once you see the photo shoot from jabot , i 'll be the top of your list . abby : it sounds like your schedule might already be full before you even get started . mia : for you , abby , i 'll always make room . [ abby laughs ] arturo : you 've been in town , what , a couple days ? you really should n't be making plans . you might not even end up staying . mia : why would n't i ? arturo : rey 's case could wrap up any day now . he 's gon na go back to florida and take you with him . mia : and in the meantime , you expect me to sit alone in my apartment with nothing to do , twiddling my thumbs ? no , i 'd like to keep busy . arturo : always up to something . mia : mm . well , i do n't know what 's going on with rey 's case , but it does n't seem like it 's winding down . abby : you might be right . in the last couple days , it 's gone from a missing- persons investigation to a murder case . mia : see , arturo ? i 'm gon na be around for a long , long time . [ giggles ] [ cellphone rings ] sharon : mariah ? is everything all right ? mariah : yeah . i need to talk to tessa . sharon : okay . mariah : do you think that you could get somebody to cover her shift ? sharon : yeah . no problem . let me know how that goes . mariah : thanks . i will . michael : this is an egregious waste of ms . newman 's time and my patience . so if you ca n't conjure up a reason for this interview or a line of questioning that she has n't already gone over again and again , we 're gon na walk out that door . rey : i 'm getting to that . you said that you heard we fund j.t . 's watch in chancellor park . victoria : that 's right . rey : where exactly did you hear that ? victoria : i spoke with mac after she came in to identify the watch . rey : i never told mac where we found it . victoria : my sister abby was told by your brother . if you do n't believe me , you can ask them . rey : no , there 's no need . okay . so , we solved the mystery of how you learned about the watch . but how exactly did you know that the police never found j.t . 's body ? victoria : i did n't know . how could i ? rey : that 's what i 've been wondering . victoria : i remember asking you how you knew that j.t . was dead . if you found the body . rey : actually , you asked if we found j.t . 's dna . victoria : well , yes . of course . that 's what i meant . i was wondering if you found his remains and -- and if you identified them as his . rey : mm - hmm . i quote , `` was it his dna ? could n't that just have come from the watch ? `` victoria : i knew that you would n't be able to find his remains where you found the watch , of course . i mean , your brother and his crew dug all around there . is n't that right ? i mean , that 's -- that 's what my mother said . michael : it 's clear to me she 's answered this question multiple times . victoria : i do n't understand what you 're asking me . michael : so if there 's nothing further , detective ... rey : we 're wrapped up here . for now . i will be in touch . and , please , if you 're planning on leaving town , let us know . michael : is there anything i should know ? victoria : no -- michael : i can clear my schedule . we can go to my office . victoria : [ sighs ] there 's nothing you should know . i just get nervous when people question me like that , as if i 've done something wrong . michael : and you 've done nothing wrong ? victoria : nothing . i swear . mia : so tell me , how does a naked heiress achieve that perfect work- life / nightlife balance ? abby : [ chuckles ] easy . there is no nightlife here , not like in miami . mia : you 've been ? abby : yes , early spring . arturo and i were just there for the weekend , but it was unforgettable . mia : early spring . then you guys have been together for a while , then , huh ? abby : well , we were n't officially a couple , just , uh , friends with potential . [ arturo chuckles ] but that did n't stop his aunts from asking when we were getting married . [ laughs ] mia : they did the same thing when they met me . ahh . introducing her to the family , arturo . that did n't take long . arturo : they loved her . everybody does . [ abby laughs ] mia : mmm . makes you wonder if they say that to every girl their nephews bring home . they 're bound to be right eventually . abby : well , it -- it was n't home . uh , we went to the best restaurant . mia : on 8th street ? abby : yeah , how 'd you know ? mia : it 's his favorite . mine , too . i was there all the time . i 'm surprised i never ran into you . arturo : you were out of town . i checked . abby : we had the best time . the beaches , the nightlife , dancing all night . mia : you know , we should go out , the four of us . abby : i would love that . mia : how about tonight ? abby : ugh . i wish i could . but i am on jabot 's board of directors , and tonight is the big jaboutiques launch . mia : i heard . sounds exciting . abby : you know what , i have a terrific idea . why do n't you and rey come with us ? the more , the merrier .

[ both chuckle ] abby : he needs time . stitch : yeah . abby : just remember . so does your wife . stitch : you know , uh , abby is really trying here . you know , you could be a little bit nicer , champ . max : okay . i 'm hungry . can we get something to eat ? stitch : sure . grab your coat . all right . come on , son . marisa : noah , if luca knew anything , he would n't be able to keep it to himself . he 'd be using it . noah : as leverage . marisa : yes . he would use it to get something out of you or me or to simply get you out of the way , and he has n't . noah : you 're probably right . although he could be using it as leverage over my grandfather , which would be even worse . abby : hi , nephew . noah : hey , abby . how you doing ? were you just up visiting , uh , stitch and max ? abby : yeah . marisa : i , uh , was just thinking it must be so lonely for you having stitch 's son stay here when the two of you just got married . abby : yeah . do i sound awful if i say i hate that part ? marisa : no . not at all . if anything , he 's so lucky to have you here to help him deal with the loss of his mother . it really is the best thing , and he 'll see that someday . abby : someday soon , i hope . marisa : do you want to join us for coffee ? abby : you know what ? thank you , but i 'm gon na go see billy at the hospital . marisa : he 's awake i heard . that 's so great . abby : yeah , and he 's doing much better . he 's talking . he 's telling terrible jokes , which means he 's back to normal . [ chuckles ] which is no small feat after a car runs over your head , so ... marisa : have the police heard anything ? abby : no , they have not found the hit - and - run driver yet . but victoria told me that paul has been in to talk to billy about it . billy : [ sighs ] paul : so , tell me what you remember . billy : i was at abby 's wedding . uh , i had a frustrating talk with jack . not his fault , mind you . so i had decided to leave early . i went down to get my car , and that 's when gil , a guy i place my bets with , him and his pal met me in the parking garage . [ clears throat ] they decided to impress on me how much money i owed gil and that he wanted it . paul : what did they do to you ? billy : there was some tough - guy talk back and forth for a little while , and then punches started flying , couple swift kicks to the ribs , and that 's when i saw stars and i was out . i 'm assuming that i could n't get enough oxygen and lost consciousness . next thing i know , i woke up here . paul : several days later . billy : that 's what they tell me . paul : you do n't remember anything about the car ? billy : what car ? paul : all right . what about the first time you regained consciousness ? do you remember that ? billy : things are a little hazy , paul . you 're gon na have to help me out here a little bit . paul : well , billy , you were -- you were hit by a car after you were beat up . billy : that 's -- [ chuckles ] that 's aggressive , even for gil . paul : right . well , he admitted that , uh , you might have been beat up . but he swears he did n't run you over , and we do n't have anything to dispute that . billy : so it 's somebody else . paul : you 're the victim of a hit - and - run . and we want to find the person who did this . [ door opens ] victoria : okay , that 's enough , paul . paul : okay . you get better , billy , and i 'll be in touch . billy : vick , what 's going on here ? hit - and - run ? does anybody know where adam was that night ? mariah : victor is our investor , and his son is missing . we ca n't afford to poke the bear . kevin : because of the deal . mariah : of course because of the deal . kevin : mariah , without natalie , there is no deal . she 's the programmer . this thing does n't fly without her . mariah : well , it 's probably gon na fly without us because she signed another deal behind your back ! kevin : because i stalled her when billy was in the hospital ! mariah : you do n't know that she did n't already have this planned . i can not believe you are buying this whole socially inept genius routine , that she 's all innocent and she has no experience with men and she only fantasizes about you ! kevin : she said that ? mariah : probably . look , there is too much at stake here . we have to figure out what natalie is up to and save this from falling apart ! kevin : she is n't up to anything . mariah : you do n't know that ! kevin : mariah , it is not an act , okay ? she is a badass in cyber space , but she 's lost in the real world . she can not communicate with people face to face . that 's why she brought me on ! i understand the tech side of what she 's doing , and i can communicate the big picture ! i understand her . [ sighs ] mariah : you understand her ? kevin : she 's counting on me , and i owe her . mariah : how do you figure that ? kevin : because i 'm the one who went to victor about investing . i 'm the reason she 's involved . i am the reason she 's in trouble , so i 'm going to help her with or without you . dylan : did the kidnappers warn you not to notify the cops ? victor : dylan , one leak , this becomes international news , and adam 's life will become expendable . i 'm not gon na listen to you just because you 're nikki 's son . dylan : i also happen to be your best chance of getting adam back . victor : okay . what is it ? dylan : the clock is ticking . you know that time is against us right now and the likelihood of a good resolution diminishes the longer that this goes on . victor : all right . what is your plan ? dylan : what i 'm offering -- a way that you can use the police to be an asset and not a hindrance , a way that you can use their manpower and their resources . that 's your best hope of getting adam back . stitch : this game has the best graphics ever ! and my avatar is ... it 's , uh , it 's -- it 's dead . i died . max : [ laughs ] stitch : oh , is that funny ? yeah ? you think you can do better ? huh ? it 's a lot harder with my big fingers and these buttons . max : i can show you how to do it if you want . stitch : knock yourself out , champ . let 's see it . max : here we go . stitch : okay . right . abby : come on , stitch . pick up . pick up , pick up . [ sighs ] dylan : stitch is dedicated to you , to your marriage , and to your new little family . abby : and stitch will be the greatest dad ever , which means that he will put max first . he has to do what 's best for max , and that is clearly not me . dylan : yeah , but you guys can do this together . abby : i do n't know anything about kids , and i proved that today . dylan : well [ chuckles ] neither did i. i mean , really , you just kind of learn as you go . and there 's gon na be tough days . but you 're gon na enjoy every second of it . abby : [ sighs ] okay , so i 'm gon na head to the hospital . noah : do you mind if i join you ? abby : yeah , i mean , you might not be able to see billy . victoria 's been keeping his visitors to a minimum , but ... noah : that 's all right . i 'll , uh , i 'll just check in with vick and see how she 's holding up . abby : okay . luca : hey , noah , i , um , i just want to apologize for losing my temper earlier . noah : it 's fine , luca . luca : i was just very concerned about my wife . i ca n't stand the thought of anything happening to her . noah : i get it . i feel the same way . abby : okay . are you ready ? marisa : noah 's suspicious about a comment you made . he asked me if you knew about the hit - and - run . luca : well , that 's a product of his own paranoia . i did n't say -- marisa : just trying to thank you , luca , for the way you handled things with him . luca : noah has nothing to fear from me . victor : all right . keep me apprised . dylan : gather everything 's okay with your guest ? victor : so , you were laying out your plan . dylan : yes . so -- [ knock on door ] mariah : hi . um , sorry for barging in unannounced . i know that you hate that . uh , but we have something important to discuss regarding our deal . victor : all right . come in . kevin : i know you 've got natalie , and you have to let her go . i 'm not gon na let you use some innocent woman to get back adam . victor : kevin , i think you know me well enough to know that it bothers me when people come in unannounced , okay ? and now you 're accusing me of something ? i will do whatever 's necessary to save my son . kevin : so you 're not denying it , then ? mariah : okay , kevin , let 's go . kevin : look , if anything happens to natalie , i swear i will -- victor : are you threatening me ? mariah : no , no , no . he is n't . uh , he would never threaten his business partner , right ? kevin : you 're a cop now . do something . mariah : kevin , please calm down . kevin : he 's got natalie ! i need to know where -- dylan : just stop ! just stop . nobody 's gon na get hurt if you just listen . billy : adam left delia for dead the same way that i was left in the parking lot . victoria : billy , do n't go there . billy : how do i not go there , vick ? it 's the same situation , and it was agony not knowing who killed my little girl . paul : billy 's awake , so we may have our eyewitness , so get ready to jump on this . right . abby : paul . hi . um , i heard you went in to see billy ? paul : hi , abby . yeah . he 's doing much better . hey , noah . how are you ? noah : i 'm good . i 'm good . uh , do you want to go ahead and go in , let victoria know that i 'm here ? abby : uh , yeah . i 'll let her know . noah : all right . thanks . paul : you know , it 's a miracle that , uh , billy 's improving . i 'm just glad this is n't a murder investigation . noah : yeah . yeah , do -- do you guys have any idea who might have hit him or ... paul : not yet . and victoria thinks i 'm pushing too hard , but after what billy 's been through with delia , i 'm not letting up . whoever did this is gon na be put in a cage . abby : you scared me to death . i thought you left me to be the lone screw - up in the family . billy : come on . i would never leave that burden on you alone . abby : [ chuckles ] well , thank god you 're alive . that 's all i can say . billy : yeah . just found out i survived a hit - and - run , unlike my daughter . and conveniently adam is nowhere to be found . abby : adam was here . billy : when ? victoria : when you were unconscious . when we thought that the worst was happening . he came with chelsea . he was praying for you just like we all were . billy : yeah ? and since then ? victoria : since then , i think he 's been working with my dad . billy : convenient . victoria : look , he probably just wanted to give the family some space and thought that was a good idea -- billy : to what ? to not show up when we 're looking for the driver of a hit - and- run who left me to die ? victoria : can we please let the police handle that ? you 've been through a terrible experience , and we 've been given another chance . can we not just enjoy that , please ? abby : in other words , `` billy boy , stop being such an ungrateful jerk . `` [ chuckles ] billy : can always count on you to break it down , huh ? yeah , my level of jerk has definitely risen the last couple months . abby : ah , do n't worry about it . we 've come to expect it from you . billy : i got so tangled up in trying to get revenge on victor that i , uh , ended up hurting the whole family . abby : but you tried to make it right . billy : oh , yeah . that was a sweet deal i put together . guaranteed to make enough money to get jabot out of hock and prove to everybody that i was n't a hopeless screw - up all in [ clicks tongue ] one shot . speaking of , i should -- i should probably talk to kevin and mariah . victoria : no . not for a few days . billy : they 're the ones that gave me the idea . abby : but you did n't have the cash . yeah , i heard . billy : yeah . i , uh , i would have if my -- if my horse would 've came through or if jack would have temporarily lost his mind and floated me a few million . `` if , if , if , `` right ? but it 's too late , is n't it ? we all lost out . luca : what was that for ? marisa : for not using the information about noah . luca : i gave you my word . marisa : i know . i ... what 's bothering you ? luca : problems . big problems . marisa : [ sighs ] with your father . luca : look , i dutifully returned my father 's call to keep him informed and assured him all is well with his investment . but he 's not happy that victor suspected him of kidnapping adam . marisa : is he coming after victor ? luca : it 's me he wants . he 's ordered me home . marisa : back to spain ? luca : and he wants you to come with me . victor : well , i must say i 'm impressed . mariah : it 's a good plan . kevin : it 'll keep natalie safe . dylan : [ sighs ] it will ensure everybody 's safety . victor : and paul is on board with it ? dylan : i 'll get police cooperation . i 'll get it lined up . victor : dylan . if this goes south , if this plan does not work out , your ass is on the line . dylan : i know . [ door opens ] kevin : uh , i apologize for coming on so strong before . you working with dylan to keep natalie safe , it 'll help . we need her . victor : yep , i need her . mariah : what is that supposed to mean ? victor : that 's supposed to mean there is no `` we . `` stitch : nice move ! max : it 's easy . stitch : yeah ? well , that 's what they all say until the boss shows up . and ... whoa ! that was excellent . okay , you got to give abby some credit for making this happen . i mean , see ? she 's not so bad . okay , why -- why 'd you do that ? max : i died . stitch : and you 're gon na let that stop you ? since when ? max : it 's a stupid game . and abby 's ... she 's not so great . stitch : actually , max , she is . she 's a really great person . but she 's not your mom . i know . max : you do n't know . you do n't think about mom . you do n't care about mom . you do n't know . stitch : so tell me . max : nothing 's like it was . stitch : i know . i 'm sorry . you 're right . i - i do n't know . [ sighs ] but i can make some guesses . trying to fit into a new life , it 's hard . it 's harder than trying to kill post - apocalyptic three - headed zombie raptors . and maybe i can help . you know , maybe if -- maybe you could talk to me about your mom , about anything , you know . just tell me what 's going on . max : you do n't care . all you care about is her . stitch : who am i living with right now ? you . who did i just schlep through the freezing cold to get burgers with ? you . and who am i with right now ? max : me . stitch : you , son . i care about you . and i care about abby . [ sighs ] all right . now , come on . give this another shot . [ sighs ] all right , let 's see . whoa ! marisa : i am not going back to spain , and i am not taking orders from your father . i 'll never do that again . and if you want to go running back -- luca : i 'm not going to spain , and i 'm not taking you anywhere near my father . marisa : you 're not ? luca : why would i ever do that ? it was my father 's interference , the way he tried to control our lives , that drove you away from me in the first place . that is never happening again . i promise you . marisa : what will you do ? luca : stay here and continue what i 've started . i 'm going to bring my father down . marisa : but how -- how can you do that ? you need adam , and he 's been kidnapped . luca : i 'm not gon na let that or anything else stop me . victor : you conned me into investing in a project that does n't yet work . mariah : of course it works . natalie already has a prototype of the software . victor : i 'm also aware that you are making a tidy , little profit by doubling the buy - in price of the investment . natalie told me . so my lawyers will , uh , draw up a little contract that will tell you exactly where to return the funds to , okay ? mariah : why ? you do n't want to buy in on the biggest internet discovery since ... i mean ... victor : we have no deal . you 're out . kevin : you ca n't do that . victor : now get out of my office . now ! do n't you try to con me ! ever ! [ door closes ] mariah : poor , innocent , little natalie . kevin : victor forced her into it . mariah : because you know her so well ? ! noah : hey , what 's happening ? kevin : well , your grandfather just screwed us royally . mariah : he cut us out of a deal that we brought to him . we should have waited for billy to wake up . noah : yeah , i just came from the hospital . billy is awake . victoria : i do n't really know what happened with that deal with kevin . i 've been out of the loop here at the hospital , so i guess you can imagine the business has been the last thing on my mind . billy : i just hope victor did n't get wind of it . abby : i 'm sorry that all of this happened at my wedding , but why were you talking business with jack instead of discussing how beautiful my centerpieces were or how the flower arrangements matched my eyes ? billy : oh , come on . that 's not true , is it ? abby : you 'll never know because you do n't remember anything from my wedding . [ both laugh ] victoria : billy ? billy . what is it ? victoria : billy . talk to me . billy : i 'm fine . abby : are you in pain ? do you want me to get the doctor ? billy : no , no , no . it 's okay . victoria : what happened ? billy : i was just thinking about how dumb i 've been . i set this whole thing into motion , abby , and i 'm really sorry that i messed up your wedding . abby : it 's okay . now , ruining my honeymoon -- i mean , that 's a different story . billy : well , i 'll make it up to you and stitch . you just tell me when you 're ready and i 'll send you anywhere on the planet . abby : i do n't know if we 'll ever be ready , but thank you for the offer . billy : well , something good has to come out of this . i mean , besides this -- this beautiful woman right here . victoria : yeah . we 're getting back together . abby : you are ? victoria : yes . billy 's moving back in , and you 're the first person that i 've told , so ... [ door opens ] abby : oh , yay ! that 's so wonderful . i 'm so happy . [ laughs ] victoria : hey , kevin and mariah , listen , um , you guys have wasted a trip . billy 's really had way too many visitors today . billy : it 's all right . come on in . [ sighs ] how 's it going ? kevin : well , we 're glad you 're doing better . billy : yeah , well , i could n't do worse , so it 's a good thing i am better , but that 's not the only reason why you 're here . mariah : you 're probably gon na hear about all of this soon . kevin : i wanted you to hear it from me . billy : what is it ? kevin : it 's about what happened while you were in here and we did n't think you were getting any better . we needed an investor , so i sold the idea . billy : just ... do n't say victor . kevin . do not tell me it 's victor . you know what ? [ clears throat ] it had to be him . i understand . mariah : you do ? billy : yeah , the odds of me getting out of this hospital alive were pretty slim . i did n't have the money . was n't gon na get it , so ... kevin : thanks . thanks for being understanding . billy : i do n't think you made the right decision . victor is victor . he 's gon na push you aside and he 's gon na leave you with pittance . mariah : yeah , well , that already happened . and it was n't even a pittance . billy : well , there you go . victor strikes again . paul : hey . dylan : hey . paul : billy 's awake and lucid . dylan : did he give you a description of the car that hit him ? paul : yeah , he does n't remember anything after he was beat up . in fact , he does n't even realize that , uh , he was a victim of a hit - and - run . dylan : well , you know , maybe in a couple days , it 'll come back to him . paul : yeah , hopefully . that 's what i 'm thinking . so , where do we stand with adam 's disappearance ? dylan : i have a lead on who may have taken him . victor got a ransom note . paul : ah . i knew he was holding back on me . i 'll get a warrant to access his files . dylan : hold on , hold on , hold on . it 's not necessary . victor gave me all the details . paul : he did ? dylan : yes . supposedly a business deal went south , and that 's why they grabbed adam . paul : [ chuckles ] and he told you this willingly ? on his own ? dylan : he wants his son back . so i worked out a plan to do that ... with victor . luca : victor will do everything in his power to get his son back . once adam 's returned , he and i will proceed with the work we 've started . we will finally take from our fathers what they will never give while still drawing breath . marisa : but how can you do that now that marco 's dead ? you -- you ca n't tie your father to his illegal dealings . luca : i intend to follow through on your idea . you were right . marco was n't my father 's only criminal connection . with that journal of yours , we 'll dig up more of these guys and find enough evidence of illegal dealings to sink him . marisa : you want me to help you ? but you were so against it before . luca : yes . i was worried about your safety . marisa : and now you 're not ? luca : oh , we will be very careful . i will make sure that no one ever finds out that i got the names from you . marisa : maybe there 's another way . luca : no , we -- we have the information , okay ? we have to use it . that 's what 's going to allow us to have everything we deserve , everything we 've ever dreamed of . look , it 's the only way . you must understand that . marisa : yes . yes , i think i do . victor : uh , send him in . noah . noah : it 's all gon na come out . billy 's awake . he 's talking . i saw him . victor : you went to the hospital ? noah : i heard that paul was questioning billy . i did n't know what he found out . victor : wait a minute . you talked to paul ? noah : how else was i supposed to find out what he knows ? victor : what you say to him ? noah : it does n't matter . billy remembers getting beat up . paul is certain it 's only a matter of time before he remembers what car hit him -- my car . you know what that means . i 'm going to jail . what am i gon na do ? abby : hi . stitch : hey . stitch : come on ! am i doing it ? am i doing it ? abby : hi . stitch : hey . abby : i swear i did n't know you two would be here . [ sighs ] why does this keep happening ? i keep doing things to make him detest me . stitch : i would n't be so sure about that . max actually loved the game . abby : he played it ? stitch : yeah . he had a lot of fun , even though he tried not to show it . abby : so i did something right ? stitch : for a little while , he was just a kid playing a game and not worrying about all the bad stuff that 's happened . you did that . you made that happen . i ca n't thank you enough . abby : well , you could try . stitch : yeah ? abby : mm - hmm . stitch : will that tide you over ? abby : yeah . i 'm just happy to hear that there 's some hope . paul : [ sighs ] geez , dylan ! i hope you 're not doing what i think you 're doing ! dylan : no , paul -- paul : you just got your badge ! you ca n't go behind my back making deals with victor newman ! dylan : just listen to me -- paul : you are a cop now ! you ca n't work outside the law ! how am i supposed to trust you as a cop if you keep going out on your own like this ? dylan : because i made sure the plans involved the police . paul : okay . i 'm listening . what does this have to do with victor ? dylan : i need everyone who 's in on this . i need everybody to make sure that adam and this girl do n't get hurt . paul : including victor . dylan : especially victor . victor : noah , listen to me . you got to stop beating yourself up about this , okay ? stop panicking . stop talking to the chief of police . noah : billy is awake . he 's talking . it 's only a -- victor : and i 'm very glad to hear that , all right ? and he 's in the best hands possible . noah : yeah . victor : okay ? you need to worry about your life now . put this behind you . noah : how am i supposed to do that when i know it 's just sitting right in front of me ? victor : even if he wakes up , fully wakes up , he was beaten to within an inch of his life . there 's no way he 's gon na remember what car hit him or what car left the scene of the accident . no way . billy : [ groans ] [ sighs ] [ next_on ] paul : yeah , well , i know victor newman . and somebody threatens his family , he becomes judge , jury , and executioner . jack : billy 's in a very good place . kevin : not anymore . billy : the car , the one that hit me , i remember . | abby tries to make friends with max by playing a game with him , but max still wo n't be friends with her . in the hotel room , marisa and kevin discuss noah being responsible for all this mess with billy . paul arrives at the hospital to talk to billy about the accident . even though victoria is reluctant to let him , billy agrees . abby is discouraged that she can not get through to max , and stitch confesses that he ca n't either . after abby leaves , stitch tells max to be kind to abby but all max asks is if they can get something to eat . at the athletic club bar , marisa tells noah that if luca knew anything about the accident , he would say so . abby joins marisa and noah to discuss stitch and max and what has been going on since he arrived in town . abby mentions to noah that billy is awake and she is going to see him . noah asks to go with her . when paul asks billy what he remembers about the accident , he says he was beat up by gil . paul tells him that he was the victim of a hit and run . victoria comes in and stops the questioning . kevin lets marisa know that without natalie there is no deal with victor . kevin tells mariah that he understands natalie . dylan still pursues questioning victor about adam 's disappearance . dylan offers victor the help of the genoa city police department to help to get adam back . at crimson lights , stitch plays a game with max . when stitch asks him to like abby , max closes the lid down on the game and insists he does n't care about his mother . stitch tries to break the ice with max concerning his mom . abby is reminded of a talk that she had with dylan concerning stitch and max . noah joins abby to go to visit billy . luca rejoins them and apologizes for earlier . abby and noah leave . luca tells marisa about the call from his father who wants luca to go back to spain with her . marisa lets luca know that noah is suspicious of him knowing the truth about the accident . luca assures her that he will never say anything . marisa and kevin interrupt victor and dylan and let victor know about natalie 's disappearance . | <s>[INST] mariah : for the password , you should try `` hot geek sex `` or maybe `` code dirty to me . `` try . you 're not trying . kevin : because you 're deranged . mariah : try `` kevin hashtag nice butt . `` kevin : you 're insane . mariah : try it ! kevin : oh , my god . you 're such a freak right -- mariah : did that actually work ? ! i hate her . i hate her . i hate her . natalie : if you 're listening to this , then victor has me . kevin : he has her . victor has natalie . how could he do that ? mariah : because he can . kevin : he just took her like she 's nothing , like she 's not even a person ! mariah : we do n't even know that this kidnapping happened ! kevin : it happened ! you heard what she said on the computer ! `` if you 're listening to this , victor has me `` ! mariah : she recorded that before she took off . there could be a bunch of explanations for why she 's missing . kevin : like what ? a sudden craving for fondue ? mariah : supposedly there are other people after her , and on top of all of that , we only have her word to take for this . kevin : she is not working a con . mariah : how do you know ? kevin : because i asked her ! mariah : what ? you actually expected her to come clean and admit that she 's been conning us ? kevin : i believe natalie , and i believe that victor would take her and trade her for adam . mariah : wait . where are you going ? no , no , no . kevin , kevin , please , please listen to me . this is victor `` ruler of all things `` newman . you can not just barge into his office and ask him to hand natalie back . kevin : why ? what do i have to lose ? mariah : $ 2 million . dylan : i am in a unique position to help you get adam back . victor : well , i will not involve the police , so this discussion is over . dylan : you have n't even heard my plan yet . abby : hi . stitch : hey . abby : hi . um , i just wanted to check and see how things are going in the mancave . um , hi , max . stitch : max , abby said hello . max : hi . abby : [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , uh , can i get you something to drink ? abby : i 'm good right now . thank you . max , i wanted to see if you wanted to test out your mad gaming skills on `` killer attack of the alien zombies 5 . `` max : it 's not out yet . abby : not for the rest of the world , but ... ta - da ! stitch : wow . how 'd you score that ? abby : ah . i know people . stitch : oh ? abby : yeah . here . noah : did you say anything to luca about me being the one who hit billy ? marisa : of course not . noah : then why did he say that about the newmans ' convenient luck with the security cameras ? marisa : i - i do n't know . noah : it just sounded like more than a idle comment to me , marisa . is there any way that luca could have figured it out ? oh , my god . i never should have listened to you . marisa : noah . noah : [ sighs ] you fought me on coming forward . you said that you did n't want me to go to prison . marisa : because it was an accident . because i do n't want to lose you . noah : well , then you better prepare yourself , because if your husband knows the truth , there is no way he will hesitate to sell me out . marisa : no . i told you i would never let that happen . noah : i ca n't fight what i can not see , marisa , okay ? so if you meant a word about caring for me , you need to tell me the truth . does luca know that i hit billy ? victoria : i was wondering how soon you 'd turn up again . paul : well , now you do n't have to wonder , victoria . i 'm here . i just want to ask billy a few questions , if he 's up to it . victoria : he 's not . paul : do you think i like coming here and badgering billy ? i told you before , the window is closing . if we 're gon na catch the person who did this , we need to act . victoria : paul , billy is not well enough to talk right now . billy : it 's okay , vick . i 'll talk to paul . now that the fog bank has lifted from my brain . paul : so you 've remembered something ? stitch : about max ... abby : it 's okay . stitch : no , it is n't . i 'm sure you probably spent hours pleading and negotiating to get that game for him . abby : [ chuckles ] and i threatened a few people and whined . you would n't believe what people would do to get me to stop whining . stitch : yeah , believe me . i know . abby : [ chuckles ] stitch : now i 'll say what my son should have , which is thank you . abby : he 's welcome . god , i miss you . stitch : i miss you , too , baby , so much . it 's just this is ... this is still so fresh for him , you know ? abby : i know . and i do n't expect you to just pack up and move back to our house . i get it . he 's still coming to terms with losing his mom . stitch : and getting used to being here with me , a dad he barely knows . not that i 'm excusing max 's behavior . i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm just letting you know . abby : so he 's not all warm and fuzzy with you , either ? stitch : i ca n't get him to open up at all . abby : i did n't expect the video game to solve all of our problems . i just ... you know what ? maybe i did . maybe i hoped . i mean , i had this fantasy of max being blown away and hugging me and thanking me and calling me the coolest stepmom ever . hey , dream big , right ? [ both chuckle ] abby : he needs time . stitch : yeah . abby : just remember . so does your wife . stitch : you know , uh , abby is really trying here . you know , you could be a little bit nicer , champ . max : okay . i 'm hungry . can we get something to eat ? stitch : sure . grab your coat . all right . come on , son . marisa : noah , if luca knew anything , he would n't be able to keep it to himself . he 'd be using it . noah : as leverage . marisa : yes . he would use it to get something out of you or me or to simply get you out of the way , and he has n't . noah : you 're probably right . although he could be using it as leverage over my grandfather , which would be even worse . abby : hi , nephew . noah : hey , abby . how you doing ? were you just up visiting , uh , stitch and max ? abby : yeah . marisa : i , uh , was just thinking it must be so lonely for you having stitch 's son stay here when the two of you just got married . abby : yeah . do i sound awful if i say i hate that part ? marisa : no . not at all . if anything , he 's so lucky to have you here to help him deal with the loss of his mother . it really is the best thing , and he 'll see that someday . abby : someday soon , i hope . marisa : do you want to join us for coffee ? abby : you know what ? thank you , but i 'm gon na go see billy at the hospital . marisa : he 's awake i heard . that 's so great . abby : yeah , and he 's doing much better . he 's talking . he 's telling terrible jokes , which means he 's back to normal . [ chuckles ] which is no small feat after a car runs over your head , so ... marisa : have the police heard anything ? abby : no , they have not found the hit - and - run driver yet . but victoria told me that paul has been in to talk to billy about it . billy : [ sighs ] paul : so , tell me what you remember . billy : i was at abby 's wedding . uh , i had a frustrating talk with jack . not his fault , mind you . so i had decided to leave early . i went down to get my car , and that 's when gil , a guy i place my bets with , him and his pal met me in the parking garage . [ clears throat ] they decided to impress on me how much money i owed gil and that he wanted it . paul : what did they do to you ? billy : there was some tough - guy talk back and forth for a little while , and then punches started flying , couple swift kicks to the ribs , and that 's when i saw stars and i was out . i 'm assuming that i could n't get enough oxygen and lost consciousness . next thing i know , i woke up here . paul : several days later . billy : that 's what they tell me . paul : you do n't remember anything about the car ? billy : what car ? paul : all right . what about the first time you regained consciousness ? do you remember that ? billy : things are a little hazy , paul . you 're gon na have to help me out here a little bit . paul : well , billy , you were -- you were hit by a car after you were beat up . billy : that 's -- [ chuckles ] that 's aggressive , even for gil . paul : right . well , he admitted that , uh , you might have been beat up . but he swears he did n't run you over , and we do n't have anything to dispute that . billy : so it 's somebody else . paul : you 're the victim of a hit - and - run . and we want to find the person who did this . [ door opens ] victoria : okay , that 's enough , paul . paul : okay . you get better , billy , and i 'll be in touch . billy : vick , what 's going on here ? hit - and - run ? does anybody know where adam was that night ? mariah : victor is our investor , and his son is missing . we ca n't afford to poke the bear . kevin : because of the deal . mariah : of course because of the deal . kevin : mariah , without natalie , there is no deal . she 's the programmer . this thing does n't fly without her . mariah : well , it 's probably gon na fly without us because she signed another deal behind your back ! kevin : because i stalled her when billy was in the hospital ! mariah : you do n't know that she did n't already have this planned . i can not believe you are buying this whole socially inept genius routine , that she 's all innocent and she has no experience with men and she only fantasizes about you ! kevin : she said that ? mariah : probably . look , there is too much at stake here . we have to figure out what natalie is up to and save this from falling apart ! kevin : she is n't up to anything . mariah : you do n't know that ! kevin : mariah , it is not an act , okay ? she is a badass in cyber space , but she 's lost in the real world . she can not communicate with people face to face . that 's why she brought me on ! i understand the tech side of what she 's doing , and i can communicate the big picture ! i understand her . [ sighs ] mariah : you understand her ? kevin : she 's counting on me , and i owe her . mariah : how do you figure that ? kevin : because i 'm the one who went to victor about investing . i 'm the reason she 's involved . i am the reason she 's in trouble , so i 'm going to help her with or without you . dylan : did the kidnappers warn you not to notify the cops ? victor : dylan , one leak , this becomes international news , and adam 's life will become expendable . i 'm not gon na listen to you just because you 're nikki 's son . dylan : i also happen to be your best chance of getting adam back . victor : okay . what is it ? dylan : the clock is ticking . you know that time is against us right now and the likelihood of a good resolution diminishes the longer that this goes on . victor : all right . what is your plan ? dylan : what i 'm offering -- a way that you can use the police to be an asset and not a hindrance , a way that you can use their manpower and their resources . that 's your best hope of getting adam back . stitch : this game has the best graphics ever ! and my avatar is ... it 's , uh , it 's -- it 's dead . i died . max : [ laughs ] stitch : oh , is that funny ? yeah ? you think you can do better ? huh ? it 's a lot harder with my big fingers and these buttons . max : i can show you how to do it if you want . stitch : knock yourself out , champ . let 's see it . max : here we go . stitch : okay . right . abby : come on , stitch . pick up . pick up , pick up . [ sighs ] dylan : stitch is dedicated to you , to your marriage , and to your new little family . abby : and stitch will be the greatest dad ever , which means that he will put max first . he has to do what 's best for max , and that is clearly not me . dylan : yeah , but you guys can do this together . abby : i do n't know anything about kids , and i proved that today . dylan : well [ chuckles ] neither did i. i mean , really , you just kind of learn as you go . and there 's gon na be tough days . but you 're gon na enjoy every second of it . abby : [ sighs ] okay , so i 'm gon na head to the hospital . noah : do you mind if i join you ? abby : yeah , i mean , you might not be able to see billy . victoria 's been keeping his visitors to a minimum , but ... noah : that 's all right . i 'll , uh , i 'll just check in with vick and see how she 's holding up . abby : okay . luca : hey , noah , i , um , i just want to apologize for losing my temper earlier . noah : it 's fine , luca . luca : i was just very concerned about my wife . i ca n't stand the thought of anything happening to her . noah : i get it . i feel the same way . abby : okay . are you ready ? marisa : noah 's suspicious about a comment you made . he asked me if you knew about the hit - and - run . luca : well , that 's a product of his own paranoia . i did n't say -- marisa : just trying to thank you , luca , for the way you handled things with him . luca : noah has nothing to fear from me . victor : all right . keep me apprised . dylan : gather everything 's okay with your guest ? victor : so , you were laying out your plan . dylan : yes . so -- [ knock on door ] mariah : hi . um , sorry for barging in unannounced . i know that you hate that . uh , but we have something important to discuss regarding our deal . victor : all right . come in . kevin : i know you 've got natalie , and you have to let her go . i 'm not gon na let you use some innocent woman to get back adam . victor : kevin , i think you know me well enough to know that it bothers me when people come in unannounced , okay ? and now you 're accusing me of something ? i will do whatever 's necessary to save my son . kevin : so you 're not denying it , then ? mariah : okay , kevin , let 's go . kevin : look , if anything happens to natalie , i swear i will -- victor : are you threatening me ? mariah : no , no , no . he is n't . uh , he would never threaten his business partner , right ? kevin : you 're a cop now . do something . mariah : kevin , please calm down . kevin : he 's got natalie ! i need to know where -- dylan : just stop ! just stop . nobody 's gon na get hurt if you just listen . billy : adam left delia for dead the same way that i was left in the parking lot . victoria : billy , do n't go there . billy : how do i not go there , vick ? it 's the same situation , and it was agony not knowing who killed my little girl . paul : billy 's awake , so we may have our eyewitness , so get ready to jump on this . right . abby : paul . hi . um , i heard you went in to see billy ? paul : hi , abby . yeah . he 's doing much better . hey , noah . how are you ? noah : i 'm good . i 'm good . uh , do you want to go ahead and go in , let victoria know that i 'm here ? abby : uh , yeah . i 'll let her know . noah : all right . thanks . paul : you know , it 's a miracle that , uh , billy 's improving . i 'm just glad this is n't a murder investigation . noah : yeah . yeah , do -- do you guys have any idea who might have hit him or ... paul : not yet . and victoria thinks i 'm pushing too hard , but after what billy 's been through with delia , i 'm not letting up . whoever did this is gon na be put in a cage . abby : you scared me to death . i thought you left me to be the lone screw - up in the family . billy : come on . i would never leave that burden on you alone . abby : [ chuckles ] well , thank god you 're alive . that 's all i can say . billy : yeah . just found out i survived a hit - and - run , unlike my daughter . and conveniently adam is nowhere to be found . abby : adam was here . billy : when ? victoria : when you were unconscious . when we thought that the worst was happening . he came with chelsea . he was praying for you just like we all were . billy : yeah ? and since then ? victoria : since then , i think he 's been working with my dad . billy : convenient . victoria : look , he probably just wanted to give the family some space and thought that was a good idea -- billy : to what ? to not show up when we 're looking for the driver of a hit - and- run who left me to die ? victoria : can we please let the police handle that ? you 've been through a terrible experience , and we 've been given another chance . can we not just enjoy that , please ? abby : in other words , `` billy boy , stop being such an ungrateful jerk . `` [ chuckles ] billy : can always count on you to break it down , huh ? yeah , my level of jerk has definitely risen the last couple months . abby : ah , do n't worry about it . we 've come to expect it from you . billy : i got so tangled up in trying to get revenge on victor that i , uh , ended up hurting the whole family . abby : but you tried to make it right . billy : oh , yeah . that was a sweet deal i put together . guaranteed to make enough money to get jabot out of hock and prove to everybody that i was n't a hopeless screw - up all in [ clicks tongue ] one shot . speaking of , i should -- i should probably talk to kevin and mariah . victoria : no . not for a few days . billy : they 're the ones that gave me the idea . abby : but you did n't have the cash . yeah , i heard . billy : yeah . i , uh , i would have if my -- if my horse would 've came through or if jack would have temporarily lost his mind and floated me a few million . `` if , if , if , `` right ? but it 's too late , is n't it ? we all lost out . luca : what was that for ? marisa : for not using the information about noah . luca : i gave you my word . marisa : i know . i ... what 's bothering you ? luca : problems . big problems . marisa : [ sighs ] with your father . luca : look , i dutifully returned my father 's call to keep him informed and assured him all is well with his investment . but he 's not happy that victor suspected him of kidnapping adam . marisa : is he coming after victor ? luca : it 's me he wants . he 's ordered me home . marisa : back to spain ? luca : and he wants you to come with me . victor : well , i must say i 'm impressed . mariah : it 's a good plan . kevin : it 'll keep natalie safe . dylan : [ sighs ] it will ensure everybody 's safety . victor : and paul is on board with it ? dylan : i 'll get police cooperation . i 'll get it lined up . victor : dylan . if this goes south , if this plan does not work out , your ass is on the line . dylan : i know . [ door opens ] kevin : uh , i apologize for coming on so strong before . you working with dylan to keep natalie safe , it 'll help . we need her . victor : yep , i need her . mariah : what is that supposed to mean ? victor : that 's supposed to mean there is no `` we . `` stitch : nice move ! max : it 's easy . stitch : yeah ? well , that 's what they all say until the boss shows up . and ... whoa ! that was excellent . okay , you got to give abby some credit for making this happen . i mean , see ? she 's not so bad . okay , why -- why 'd you do that ? max : i died . stitch : and you 're gon na let that stop you ? since when ? max : it 's a stupid game . and abby 's ... she 's not so great . stitch : actually , max , she is . she 's a really great person . but she 's not your mom . i know . max : you do n't know . you do n't think about mom . you do n't care about mom . you do n't know . stitch : so tell me . max : nothing 's like it was . stitch : i know . i 'm sorry . you 're right . i - i do n't know . [ sighs ] but i can make some guesses . trying to fit into a new life , it 's hard . it 's harder than trying to kill post - apocalyptic three - headed zombie raptors . and maybe i can help . you know , maybe if -- maybe you could talk to me about your mom , about anything , you know . just tell me what 's going on . max : you do n't care . all you care about is her . stitch : who am i living with right now ? you . who did i just schlep through the freezing cold to get burgers with ? you . and who am i with right now ? max : me . stitch : you , son . i care about you . and i care about abby . [ sighs ] all right . now , come on . give this another shot . [ sighs ] all right , let 's see . whoa ! marisa : i am not going back to spain , and i am not taking orders from your father . i 'll never do that again . and if you want to go running back -- luca : i 'm not going to spain , and i 'm not taking you anywhere near my father . marisa : you 're not ? luca : why would i ever do that ? it was my father 's interference , the way he tried to control our lives , that drove you away from me in the first place . that is never happening again . i promise you . marisa : what will you do ? luca : stay here and continue what i 've started . i 'm going to bring my father down . marisa : but how -- how can you do that ? you need adam , and he 's been kidnapped . luca : i 'm not gon na let that or anything else stop me . victor : you conned me into investing in a project that does n't yet work . mariah : of course it works . natalie already has a prototype of the software . victor : i 'm also aware that you are making a tidy , little profit by doubling the buy - in price of the investment . natalie told me . so my lawyers will , uh , draw up a little contract that will tell you exactly where to return the funds to , okay ? mariah : why ? you do n't want to buy in on the biggest internet discovery since ... i mean ... victor : we have no deal . you 're out . kevin : you ca n't do that . victor : now get out of my office . now ! do n't you try to con me ! ever ! [ door closes ] mariah : poor , innocent , little natalie . kevin : victor forced her into it . mariah : because you know her so well ? ! noah : hey , what 's happening ? kevin : well , your grandfather just screwed us royally . mariah : he cut us out of a deal that we brought to him . we should have waited for billy to wake up . noah : yeah , i just came from the hospital . billy is awake . victoria : i do n't really know what happened with that deal with kevin . i 've been out of the loop here at the hospital , so i guess you can imagine the business has been the last thing on my mind . billy : i just hope victor did n't get wind of it . abby : i 'm sorry that all of this happened at my wedding , but why were you talking business with jack instead of discussing how beautiful my centerpieces were or how the flower arrangements matched my eyes ? billy : oh , come on . that 's not true , is it ? abby : you 'll never know because you do n't remember anything from my wedding . [ both laugh ] victoria : billy ? billy . what is it ? victoria : billy . talk to me . billy : i 'm fine . abby : are you in pain ? do you want me to get the doctor ? billy : no , no , no . it 's okay . victoria : what happened ? billy : i was just thinking about how dumb i 've been . i set this whole thing into motion , abby , and i 'm really sorry that i messed up your wedding . abby : it 's okay . now , ruining my honeymoon -- i mean , that 's a different story . billy : well , i 'll make it up to you and stitch . you just tell me when you 're ready and i 'll send you anywhere on the planet . abby : i do n't know if we 'll ever be ready , but thank you for the offer . billy : well , something good has to come out of this . i mean , besides this -- this beautiful woman right here . victoria : yeah . we 're getting back together . abby : you are ? victoria : yes . billy 's moving back in , and you 're the first person that i 've told , so ...

[ sighs ] how 's it going ? kevin : well , we 're glad you 're doing better . billy : yeah , well , i could n't do worse , so it 's a good thing i am better , but that 's not the only reason why you 're here . mariah : you 're probably gon na hear about all of this soon . kevin : i wanted you to hear it from me . billy : what is it ? kevin : it 's about what happened while you were in here and we did n't think you were getting any better . we needed an investor , so i sold the idea . billy : just ... do n't say victor . kevin . do not tell me it 's victor . you know what ? [ clears throat ] it had to be him . i understand . mariah : you do ? billy : yeah , the odds of me getting out of this hospital alive were pretty slim . i did n't have the money . was n't gon na get it , so ... kevin : thanks . thanks for being understanding . billy : i do n't think you made the right decision . victor is victor . he 's gon na push you aside and he 's gon na leave you with pittance . mariah : yeah , well , that already happened . and it was n't even a pittance . billy : well , there you go . victor strikes again . paul : hey . dylan : hey . paul : billy 's awake and lucid . dylan : did he give you a description of the car that hit him ? paul : yeah , he does n't remember anything after he was beat up . in fact , he does n't even realize that , uh , he was a victim of a hit - and - run . dylan : well , you know , maybe in a couple days , it 'll come back to him . paul : yeah , hopefully . that 's what i 'm thinking . so , where do we stand with adam 's disappearance ? dylan : i have a lead on who may have taken him . victor got a ransom note . paul : ah . i knew he was holding back on me . i 'll get a warrant to access his files . dylan : hold on , hold on , hold on . it 's not necessary . victor gave me all the details . paul : he did ? dylan : yes . supposedly a business deal went south , and that 's why they grabbed adam . paul : [ chuckles ] and he told you this willingly ? on his own ? dylan : he wants his son back . so i worked out a plan to do that ... with victor . luca : victor will do everything in his power to get his son back . once adam 's returned , he and i will proceed with the work we 've started . we will finally take from our fathers what they will never give while still drawing breath . marisa : but how can you do that now that marco 's dead ? you -- you ca n't tie your father to his illegal dealings . luca : i intend to follow through on your idea . you were right . marco was n't my father 's only criminal connection . with that journal of yours , we 'll dig up more of these guys and find enough evidence of illegal dealings to sink him . marisa : you want me to help you ? but you were so against it before . luca : yes . i was worried about your safety . marisa : and now you 're not ? luca : oh , we will be very careful . i will make sure that no one ever finds out that i got the names from you . marisa : maybe there 's another way . luca : no , we -- we have the information , okay ? we have to use it . that 's what 's going to allow us to have everything we deserve , everything we 've ever dreamed of . look , it 's the only way . you must understand that . marisa : yes . yes , i think i do . victor : uh , send him in . noah . noah : it 's all gon na come out . billy 's awake . he 's talking . i saw him . victor : you went to the hospital ? noah : i heard that paul was questioning billy . i did n't know what he found out . victor : wait a minute . you talked to paul ? noah : how else was i supposed to find out what he knows ? victor : what you say to him ? noah : it does n't matter . billy remembers getting beat up . paul is certain it 's only a matter of time before he remembers what car hit him -- my car . you know what that means . i 'm going to jail . what am i gon na do ? abby : hi . stitch : hey . stitch : come on ! am i doing it ? am i doing it ? abby : hi . stitch : hey . abby : i swear i did n't know you two would be here .

[ sighs ] abigail : is everything okay ? austin : yeah . things are so good . everything 's fine . could n't be -- all right ... carrie and i had an argument . i came here . i crashed out on the couch . i have n't checked in with her ... so i think it 's safe to say that things are definitely ... not okay .

'cause your mother was n't there . i know you resent that to this very day . sami : i know that 's not her fault . john : still , you missed her . and for my part , i was n't there as much for brady as i should have been , and that 's one of the biggest regrets of my life . sami : what are you saying ? john : i 'm saying that you are a wonderful mom . you 're the room mother . you host all the sleepovers . you cheer at the soccer games . now , will -- he 's old enough that , you know , you can step back . but johnny , allie , sydney -- they need their mother . they need her now . so , if you find that this job is getting in the way of that , you might want to ask yourself ... if it 's worth it .

[ sighs ] i do n't know -- we 're still in a hotel . we -- we ca n't even find the time to find a place . rafe : well , life probably is a bit unsettled . carrie : yeah . maybe it 's just the stress . maybe it 's , uh austin trying to figure out his teaching , and i 'm trying to jump - start our business . rafe : does n't leave much time for the two of you . carrie : but when i was in law school and i was studying for the bar , we always found time to be together . i guess ... maybe what scares me the most is the fact that , uh ... maybe that 's not so important to us anymore . [ scene_break ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what to say . austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , me neither . abigail : you and carrie have been married for , like , forever , though , right ? austin : yeah , yeah , we 're ancient . abigail : i did n't mean it like that , austin . austin : you want some advice , grasshopper ? abigail : what did you just call me ? austin : wow . you have no idea what i 'm talking about , do you ? abigail : okay , just tell me the advice . austin : people get married for a lot of different reasons . but if you 're lucky , you get married because you are so in love with somebody ... because life 's too short to go through alone . but what they do n't tell you is you could be more alone in a marriage than you ever , ever thought possible on your own . abigail : uh , yeah . my mom said something like that once . austin : i 'll bet she did ... because when you 're married , there 's always new things for you to deal with . the two of you have to do it , but sometimes you just ... you just want to take a hall pass , and you just want to say , `` i do n't feel ... like talking about us tonight . `` abigail : is that why you slept on the couch ? austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , kind of . and you want to know what it got me ? absolutely nothing . things are a lot worse this morning than they were last night . so the big lesson is ... this is what happens ... when married people stop talking . abigail : do you think maybe that it 's possible after last night that carrie wants to work things out with you now ? austin : no . no calls .

[ both chuckle ] sami : i know , i know . you can see the pigs flying . it 's going well . she actually works really well with me . she listens to me . she respects my opinion . john : well , maybe she 's mellowed -- who knows ? stranger things have happened . sami : ai n't that the truth . john : mm - hmm . sami : i just wish i had a 48-hour day , you know , 'cause then i could get it all done . as it is , i 'm used to being , um , a really hands - on mom , and i have n't been able to do that lately . i did n't even get to help plan sydney 's party , really . john : huh . uh , can i just kind of throw something out there ? sami : yeah . john : you know , when you were the same age as your twins are now ... i was the one ... i was the one that took you to school , bandaged your knees , made you mac and cheese , played dolls with you ... 'cause your mother was n't there . i know you resent that to this very day . sami : i know that 's not her fault . john : still , you missed her . and for my part , i was n't there as much for brady as i should have been , and that 's one of the biggest regrets of my life . sami : what are you saying ? john : i 'm saying that you are a wonderful mom . you 're the room mother . you host all the sleepovers . you cheer at the soccer games . now , will -- he 's old enough that , you know , you can step back . but johnny , allie , sydney -- they need their mother . they need her now . so , if you find that this job is getting in the way of that , you might want to ask yourself ... if it 's worth it . [ scene_break ] rafe : carrie , you know that i would never want to cause any problems for you , right ? carrie : i know . rafe : okay , but if my leaning on you for sydney 's party is causing problems with you and austin , i just want to let him know . i 'm not going to ask you to do that stuff anymore , okay ? carrie : it is n't you . it is n't you . we started having problems when john was arrested , when i realized that he knew that it was going to happen and he did n't tell me about it . and i thought that we could handle being on opposite sides . but austin was looking at the facts , and that meant that john was guilty . i was looking at the man john is and knew that was n't possible . rafe : i know . carrie : [ sighs ] and ... then i started looking at austin and saying to myself ... `` who is he ? did i even know him ? `` then we decided to stay in salem , and i thought that we could put everything behind us and build a new life together . rafe : but ... carrie : i guess , in the back of my mind , i just kept thinking , `` do i really know who he is ? `` and i 'm sure he 's wondering the same thing about me right now . rafe : well , when you guys were in switzerland , you did n't have any problems , right ? carrie : well , you know ... rafe : i mean , yeah , but ... okay , so why 'd you decide to stay here in salem ? carrie : it hit both of us how much we missed this place and our families . rafe : yeah , families -- right , exactly . and they 're great -- do n't get me wrong -- but they do bring a lot of baggage , you know ? carrie : this is our home , though , you know . and we both decided to get jobs , and ... [ sighs ] i do n't know -- we 're still in a hotel . we -- we ca n't even find the time to find a place . rafe : well , life probably is a bit unsettled . carrie : yeah . maybe it 's just the stress . maybe it 's , uh austin trying to figure out his teaching , and i 'm trying to jump - start our business . rafe : does n't leave much time for the two of you . carrie : but when i was in law school and i was studying for the bar , we always found time to be together . i guess ... maybe what scares me the most is the fact that , uh ... maybe that 's not so important to us anymore . [ scene_break ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what to say . austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , me neither . abigail : you and carrie have been married for , like , forever , though , right ? austin : yeah , yeah , we 're ancient . abigail : i did n't mean it like that , austin . austin : you want some advice , grasshopper ? abigail : what did you just call me ? austin : wow . you have no idea what i 'm talking about , do you ? abigail : okay , just tell me the advice . austin : people get married for a lot of different reasons . but if you 're lucky , you get married because you are so in love with somebody ... because life 's too short to go through alone . but what they do n't tell you is you could be more alone in a marriage than you ever , ever thought possible on your own . abigail : uh , yeah . my mom said something like that once . austin : i 'll bet she did ... because when you 're married , there 's always new things for you to deal with . the two of you have to do it , but sometimes you just ... you just want to take a hall pass , and you just want to say , `` i do n't feel ... like talking about us tonight . `` abigail : is that why you slept on the couch ? austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , kind of . and you want to know what it got me ? absolutely nothing . things are a lot worse this morning than they were last night . so the big lesson is ... this is what happens ... when married people stop talking . abigail : do you think maybe that it 's possible after last night that carrie wants to work things out with you now ? austin : no . no calls . [ sighs ] i guess that 's just wishful thinking . abigail : what is she , crazy ? i mean , i just -- i do n't get it . she has to be nuts to not want to make this right with you .

[ chuckles ] no . please , i 'm way too reasonable . i just sit back and tell sami it 's all her fault . carrie : how was she when you came home last night ? rafe : oh , she was ... things were a little bit frosty around the loft , yeah . carrie : did you point out the fact that we were just trying to save her little girl 's birthday party ? rafe : oh , no , no , no . it was about way more than just the party . she was furious at will for taking sydney over to ej 's . carrie : that was n't your fault . rafe : well , no . it was will . but will 's been acting so strange lately . he ca n't stand ej , and now he 's working for his campaign . and i got to tell you -- i 'm worried about that kid . carrie : me too . rafe : yeah . anyway , sami and i -- we got into it . i said some things too . ever since she started this job , she 's , uh ... whatever . carrie : you -- you can tell me , by the way , and it wo n't go any further . rafe : yeah . i think her boss is using her . carrie : well , she 's working for kate , which i still do n't get . rafe : yeah , she does n't want to talk about it . carrie : i bet she does n't . rafe : no . now , sami and i -- we used to get in these big fights ... all the time . but in a way , they were great . we would work things out and see eye to eye , and now it 's just -- she 's doing stuff i ca n't even fathom , and , uh , it does n't seem to bother her at all . carrie : mm . rafe : i do n't know . carrie : i 'm afraid you 're seeing a side of my sister that i , unfortunately , have a lot of experience with . i know how hard that can be .

[ scene_break ] john : samantha , i 'm not telling you what to do . i 'm just saying i 'm looking back on my own life and thinking about things i would have done differently . and being there for brady and belle on a daily basis is at the top of the list . sami : well , i 'm not you . john : i know you are . honey -- sami : and i will continue to be there . i still bake cookies for them , and i still cheer at soccer games . and you know what ? i matter too . and this job is important to me . and it is n't just to make meet for the family while rafe is n't making much money right now . john : how is that working out for the two of you ? i mean , you being so busy and him not ? sami : what are you asking ? john : let 's just say i noticed a certain amount of tension between the two of you at sydney 's party . and i just wondered if maybe this job was -- sami : it 's not about the job , okay ? it 's not about the job at all . did you happen to notice that ej and nicole were at the party too ? john : yeah , i wondered about that also . sami : so now i 'm messing everything up ! john : samantha , listen , honey -- sami : no , you know what ? obviously you think i am the kind of woman who can not balance work and family without messing all of it up . well , you know what ? you 're probably right .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you used to be a better spy . carly : i knew you were gon na find out i was there . you have security cameras everywhere . sonny : why were you there ? carly : because jax came by my house last night . apparently our divorce papers were n't filed properly , and technically we 're still married , which is a problem for jax because he wants to marry brenda . and as soon as he told me about their engagement , i knew that she would be at your house trying to win you back . sonny : that 's none -- that 's none of your business . carly : what are you talking about ? yes , it is . i mean , even if jax and i were n't still technically married , he 's josslyn 's father , and i 'm not gon na let brenda use him certainly not to try and get you back . sonny : and that gives you the right to break into my house and eavesdrop on a private conversation ? carly : what if the positions were reversed , okay ? what if you were engaged to brenda and she was going behind your back and she was going to see jax ? would n't you want me to tell you ? sonny : it 's not about what i want . it 's about jax and brenda , and you got to stay out of it . carly : [ sighs ] too late . 'cause i just told jax everything . [ scene_break ] brenda : you know that carly will lie about anything to anyone to get what she wants , and what that girl wants is to split us up . jax : she 's not here . i 'm asking you . were you at sonny 's last night ? brenda : yes , i went to see him last night . jax : why did you lie to me ? ! brenda : i - i thought it was -- jax : this would be almost funny if it was n't so pathetic . brenda : what are you talking about ? i thought that i should go tell him that you and i are engaged , that he should hear it from me first . jax : really ? if it was so innocent , then why did you lie to me ? brenda : no , i 'm telling you right now ! jax : oh , okay . brenda : because -- what do you mean , why ? because i knew you 'd get upset just like this , and i thought it was important that , you know , i talk to him and -- and know that we can be civil to each other , and i figured you would never have to know about it . jax : you did n't ask sonny for another chance ? you did n't use the words `` what if we can try again `` ? you did n't say that ? brenda : that 's not how it was . there was -- there was a lot said -- jax : you did n't offer to drop me and get back together with sonny ? none of -- none of that happened ? huh ? why do n't you tell me how it was ? [ scene_break ] carly : and i 'm sure brenda 's lying through her teeth right now to jax , but i saw the look on his face . he believes me . i just wish he would n't have done this to himself . sonny : to himself ? you had nothing to do with it ? carly : okay , you , jax , and brenda -- you guys started this dance long before i joined in . and that woman is obsessed with you . it 's -- it 's like an addiction with her , and i would almost feel sorry for her if she was n't such a selfish bitch . sonny : and you are the soul of compassion ? carly : maybe it 's easy for you because you 're the one she 's chasing after , but jax keeps getting his heart broken . sonny : well , then maybe he 'll finally buy a clue . carly : okay , i agree with you . i hope he is free of her now . sonny : anyway , i 'm done . i 'm out of here . carly : where you going ? sonny : i 'm going to the nurses ' ball to honor robin . carly : oh ! let me go with you . [ scene_break ] jax : why do n't you tell me exactly what happened at sonny 's ? brenda : i wanted to talk to him about my letter . jax : what letter ? brenda : the letter , the letter that i wrote to him before i left port charles . i gave it to robin . i asked her to give it to him . i told him that i loved him and that i was his wife and that i would be waiting for him in rome . he did n't show up . he -- he never even read the letter . he ripped it up . jax : oh . okay , so you wanted to make sure that he knew what you 'd written . brenda : no , i - i thought he already knew what i had written , and i just wanted closure , just like -- jax : why would you lie about the letter unless you were asking for another -- another chance ? come on , brenda . just do us both a favor . just say the words out loud . you want to try to get back together with sonny , right ? say it ! you want to get back together with sonny ! yes or no ? ! brenda : yes ! jax : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] mac : [ as mr. marbles ] so , they gave frisco the medal of dishonor . i said dishonor ! lucy : yeah . [ chuckles ] i - i heard -- i heard you . mac : [ normal voice ] no good ? lucy : mac , i do n't -- i do n't mean to offend you , but i think you 're gon na have to polish those jokes if you do n't want to die on stage with a wooden puppet . [ scene_break ] bobbie : you are perfect . olivia : i got to say , she makes a good point . pregnancy clearly agrees with you . this is such a beautiful thing you 're doing for dante and lulu . maxie : it 's really not that big of a deal . olivia : are you kidding me ? honey , this is one of the most meaningful things you could do for a person . bobbie : believe me . i know exactly how lulu felt when she first found out she could n't bear children of her own . and you have changed all of that . you are giving her a miracle . and i think it 's safe to say bj would agree . [ scene_break ] sabrina : look , i appreciate the thought , felix , but i do n't want a makeover . felix : what 's not to want ? sabrina : it 's just -- look , it 's just not for me , okay ? felix : you probably did n't like brussel sprouts , either , until you had them shaved , fried , and dressed in red - wine vinaigrette , either . sabrina : no , actually . felix : see ? that 's just it . look at me as a master chef whipping you into haute cuisine . sabrina : but i - i - i like the way that i look . it 's -- it 's who i am . it 's me . felix : it 's because you do n't know any different . what 's wrong with trying out a new look ? sabrina : i could be judged on my appearance and not my abilities . felix : okay , mama , i have news for you . you already are . i 'm sorry , but it 's true . you 've spent all this time wondering why patrick has n't noticed you . it 's because you 're hiding behind this tornado and -- and these soda bottles . sabrina : hey , i need those to see . felix : i took the liberty of getting you contacts . sabrina : how do you even know my prescription ? felix : funny story . i was happening by your medical chart the other day . sabrina : `` happening by `` ? felix : and i noticed that you had yourself fitted for contacts but you did n't fill the prescription . now , why would you do that ? why ? i 'll tell you why . because you tried to give yourself a makeover , but you got cold feet before you could follow through . but now there 's no need to be afraid , not with me as your guide . sabrina : felix , please do n't make me do this . felix : why on earth not ? sabrina : what if it does n't change anything ? and what if it does ? felix : [ sighs ] i 'll make you two promises . one -- by the time i 'm done with you , you will turn the head of every man at that nurses ' ball , dr. drake included . sabrina : [ scoffs ] felix : and two -- i 'll make you almost as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside . would n't you like to show patrick what he 's missing out on ? sabrina : [ sighs ] anna : oh , wow , hey . you look great without your glasses . you look like a different woman .

[ as mr. marbles ] right . [ normal voice ] [ chuckles ] duke : well , i would imagine you and mr. marbles are gon na be the highlight of the evening . at least the highlight of felicia 's evening . mac : [ as mr. marbles ] but not frisco 's .

[ door opens ] brenda : hmm . jax : something on your mind ? brenda : what ? um ... uh , yeah , i 'm -- i 'm trying to , you know , figure out what to wear .

[ scene_break ] jax : what exactly are you pleading guilty to ? brenda : mm . to ... [ clears throat ] i hate your ex - wife . jax : of course . brenda : i guess she 's not your ex - wife yet , because you ca n't get her to sign the divorce papers . jax : no , she just wants the attorney to look it over to make sure nothing has changed . brenda : oh , right , because you 're gon na take advantage of her . jax : she 'll sign the papers , and she will bring them to the ball tonight . brenda : i ca n't even imagine what she probably said when you told her that we 're getting married . jax : you ca n't imagine ? brenda : what -- what did she say ? jax : you want me to tell you ? brenda : mm - hmm . jax : uh , she said that she thought that you only agreed to marry me to get a reaction out of sonny . brenda : she 's hateful . jax : mm - hmm . and while i was over at her house asking her to sign the divorce papers , uh , she said that you were at sonny 's asking to get back with him . [ scene_break ] olivia : so , i 'm getting a little nervous here . obviously this whole nurses ' ball thing is a much bigger deal than i realized . maxie : yeah . you know , i only remember them from when i was little , but if they follow tradition , we 're gon na have a great time . i just wish dante and lulu were gon na be here . [ scene_break ] anna : oh , my god . i saw your face when i said frisco 's name . what is going on with you ? felicia : i did n't think that things could get any worse than what they could , but they did . anna : why ? you did n't . felicia : no . no . but -- anna : but what ? huh ? felicia : i finally admitted my feelings for frisco ... to myself ... anna : mm - hmm . felicia : ... to him ... and to mac . [ scene_break ] mac : [ as mr. marbles ] frisco is so wooden , he makes me seem like a real boy . [ normal voice ] not good ? duke : no , it 's -- it 's certainly witty . but i 'm just not sure the nurses ' ball is the proper platform for you to roast frisco . mac : it 's just an act . everyone knows that . do n't they ? duke : i think to the casual observer , it may appear that you are threatened by frisco . mac : [ sighs ] well , not so much threatened as desperately wanting to kick his selfish , deadbeat ass . duke : felicia loves you . mac : felicia loves both of us . she announced it . duke : i can see where that might be a test . mac : i 've been there before . look , felicia and i are good , frisco calls or , on occasion , shows up , and felicia 's torn . duke : what happens next ? mac : all the other times it ended , but not the way i wanted . duke : and this time ? mac : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kevin : my hospital in seattle just called . i have a patient in deep crisis . i have to go immediately . lucy : [ sighs ] well , doc , what about me ? i - i 'm in deep crisis . this is the first time we are doing the nurses ' ball in over a decade , and -- and i 'm the emcee . i got to do my emceeing stuff . and i 've set the standard so high for myself , and i 'm really worried that i - i could bomb . kevin : no . no , you 're not . lucy : i feel it , though . i - i feel the first worst stage fright i have ever had . what if it happens ? i - i need to have you here . the whole thing could just fall apart . kevin : no . no , it wo n't , because you 're in charge . and i 've never known you to fall apart with or without me . lucy : [ exhales deeply ] well , there 's a first time for everything . kevin : yes , but tonight wo n't be that time . lucy , i would n't go if i really did n't believe my -- my patient needed me . please do n't hate me . lucy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : i know i 'm gon na love your duet with sabrina . i ca n't wait . emma : i bet sabrina 's boyfriend will love it even more . patrick : really ? sabrina 's got a boyfriend , huh ? emma : she sure does . and someone does n't like it one bit . patrick : who 's that ? emma : felix . he wants sabrina 's boyfriend , magic milo . but magic milo does n't like boys . he likes sabrina and working out . patrick : okay . well , that 's good that sabrina 's got a new friend , huh ? emma : felix says he 's in love with magic milo 's abs . wait . what are abs ? patrick : okay . finish your carrots , all right ? and no gossiping . i got to make a phone call .

[ scene_break ] mac : i 'm not giving up on felicia . duke : i 'm very pleased to hear it . mac : i 'm not gon na wait around while felicia goes back and forth trying to choose between frisco and me .

[ scene_break ] noah : come on . what 's bothering you ? patrick : i had a moment of clarity a few days ago . it was like i was in a fog for a while , in a fog that i did n't realize that i was in . [ sighs ] and i saw sabrina for who she really is , and , truth is , she kind of saved me . i was a mess , you know . i was in a really bad place after robin died , emma and i both . and , um ... and sabrina , she helped put me back together , piece by piece , just little by little , and she did it in those everyday kind of ways , you know , the kind that you do n't even notice . and i did n't notice . but it was her all along , and ... [ sighs ] i went to tell her how i felt , and then after she told me how she felt ... i chickened out . i basically ... i ran away , and now i 'm ... well , i 'm afraid i might be too late . [ scene_break ] anna : i do n't understand . what -- what exactly is patrick clueless about ? felix : um , maybe it is n't my place . um , hey , who wants some coecoe cosmetics ? maxie : ooh ! me ! felix : okay . felicia : i do . felix : here you are . that 's right . felicia : that sounds great . felix : gift bag for you . gift bag for you . gift bag -- you know , i feel like oprah handing out cars .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you used to be a better spy . carly : i knew you were gon na find out i was there . you have security cameras everywhere . sonny : why were you there ? carly : because jax came by my house last night . apparently our divorce papers were n't filed properly , and technically we 're still married , which is a problem for jax because he wants to marry brenda . and as soon as he told me about their engagement , i knew that she would be at your house trying to win you back . sonny : that 's none -- that 's none of your business . carly : what are you talking about ? yes , it is . i mean , even if jax and i were n't still technically married , he 's josslyn 's father , and i 'm not gon na let brenda use him certainly not to try and get you back . sonny : and that gives you the right to break into my house and eavesdrop on a private conversation ? carly : what if the positions were reversed , okay ? what if you were engaged to brenda and she was going behind your back and she was going to see jax ? would n't you want me to tell you ? sonny : it 's not about what i want . it 's about jax and brenda , and you got to stay out of it . carly : [ sighs ] too late . 'cause i just told jax everything . [ scene_break ] brenda : you know that carly will lie about anything to anyone to get what she wants , and what that girl wants is to split us up . jax : she 's not here . i 'm asking you . were you at sonny 's last night ? brenda : yes , i went to see him last night . jax : why did you lie to me ? ! brenda : i - i thought it was -- jax : this would be almost funny if it was n't so pathetic . brenda : what are you talking about ? i thought that i should go tell him that you and i are engaged , that he should hear it from me first . jax : really ? if it was so innocent , then why did you lie to me ? brenda : no , i 'm telling you right now ! jax : oh , okay . brenda : because -- what do you mean , why ? because i knew you 'd get upset just like this , and i thought it was important that , you know , i talk to him and -- and know that we can be civil to each other , and i figured you would never have to know about it . jax : you did n't ask sonny for another chance ? you did n't use the words `` what if we can try again `` ? you did n't say that ? brenda : that 's not how it was . there was -- there was a lot said -- jax : you did n't offer to drop me and get back together with sonny ? none of -- none of that happened ? huh ? why do n't you tell me how it was ? [ scene_break ] carly : and i 'm sure brenda 's lying through her teeth right now to jax , but i saw the look on his face . he believes me . i just wish he would n't have done this to himself . sonny : to himself ? you had nothing to do with it ? carly : okay , you , jax , and brenda -- you guys started this dance long before i joined in . and that woman is obsessed with you . it 's -- it 's like an addiction with her , and i would almost feel sorry for her if she was n't such a selfish bitch . sonny : and you are the soul of compassion ? carly : maybe it 's easy for you because you 're the one she 's chasing after , but jax keeps getting his heart broken . sonny : well , then maybe he 'll finally buy a clue . carly : okay , i agree with you . i hope he is free of her now . sonny : anyway , i 'm done . i 'm out of here . carly : where you going ? sonny : i 'm going to the nurses ' ball to honor robin . carly : oh ! let me go with you . [ scene_break ] jax : why do n't you tell me exactly what happened at sonny 's ? brenda : i wanted to talk to him about my letter . jax : what letter ? brenda : the letter , the letter that i wrote to him before i left port charles . i gave it to robin . i asked her to give it to him . i told him that i loved him and that i was his wife and that i would be waiting for him in rome . he did n't show up . he -- he never even read the letter . he ripped it up . jax : oh . okay , so you wanted to make sure that he knew what you 'd written . brenda : no , i - i thought he already knew what i had written , and i just wanted closure , just like -- jax : why would you lie about the letter unless you were asking for another -- another chance ? come on , brenda . just do us both a favor . just say the words out loud . you want to try to get back together with sonny , right ? say it ! you want to get back together with sonny ! yes or no ? ! brenda : yes ! jax : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] mac : [ as mr. marbles ] so , they gave frisco the medal of dishonor . i said dishonor ! lucy : yeah . [ chuckles ] i - i heard -- i heard you . mac : [ normal voice ] no good ? lucy : mac , i do n't -- i do n't mean to offend you , but i think you 're gon na have to polish those jokes if you do n't want to die on stage with a wooden puppet .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : look , i appreciate the thought , felix , but i do n't want a makeover . felix : what 's not to want ? sabrina : it 's just -- look , it 's just not for me , okay ? felix : you probably did n't like brussel sprouts , either , until you had them shaved , fried , and dressed in red - wine vinaigrette , either . sabrina : no , actually . felix : see ? that 's just it . look at me as a master chef whipping you into haute cuisine . sabrina : but i - i - i like the way that i look . it 's -- it 's who i am . it 's me . felix : it 's because you do n't know any different . what 's wrong with trying out a new look ? sabrina : i could be judged on my appearance and not my abilities . felix : okay , mama , i have news for you . you already are . i 'm sorry , but it 's true . you 've spent all this time wondering why patrick has n't noticed you . it 's because you 're hiding behind this tornado and -- and these soda bottles . sabrina : hey , i need those to see . felix : i took the liberty of getting you contacts . sabrina : how do you even know my prescription ? felix : funny story . i was happening by your medical chart the other day . sabrina : `` happening by `` ? felix : and i noticed that you had yourself fitted for contacts but you did n't fill the prescription . now , why would you do that ? why ? i 'll tell you why . because you tried to give yourself a makeover , but you got cold feet before you could follow through . but now there 's no need to be afraid , not with me as your guide . sabrina : felix , please do n't make me do this . felix : why on earth not ? sabrina : what if it does n't change anything ? and what if it does ? felix : [ sighs ] i 'll make you two promises . one -- by the time i 'm done with you , you will turn the head of every man at that nurses ' ball , dr. drake included . sabrina : [ scoffs ] felix : and two -- i 'll make you almost as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside . would n't you like to show patrick what he 's missing out on ? sabrina : [ sighs ] anna : oh , wow , hey . you look great without your glasses . you look like a different woman .

summer : [ voice breaking ] did they have to give her the sedative ? there was so much that i want to ask her . i mean , did she hear us all those times when we visited her ? and does she know how much we missed her ? part of me was so scared that i would never see mom awake again . but i did . and now her eyes are closed , and i 'm just scared that they wo n't open . jack : hey , hey , hey . take it easy . take a big breath . summer : [ inhales deeply ] jack : the worst is over . your mom 's out of the coma , and the doctors have her sedated because it 's the easiest way to deal with her agitation and to run the tests they need to run . avery : this is incredible . my sister has come back . and knowing phyllis , she came back the only way she knew how -- making a grand entrance . jack : that no one could possibly forget . avery : [ chuckling ] yes . summer : mom is home . nick : sharon , please talk to me . tell me what 's going on . sharon : i just -- i - i could n't be in there in the church . i could n't breathe . i could n't think .

she 's back for good ? barton : we ran preliminary scans on phyllis when she first arrived . her brain activity is normal . her vitals are n't alarming , so there 's no indication of any immediate issues . summer : then why did she collapse at the church ? barton : well , just traveling all those miles to get here would have been strenuous enough for her . jack : when can we talk to her about that ? avery : we have so many questions . barton : i 'm sure you do , and she will have plenty herself , but right now , we need to keep things simple . now , the period after regaining consciousness can be extremely confusing , so do n't push for answers . do n't overwhelm her with a lot of information . she may not be able to handle everything that has happened in her absence . nick : what are you saying ? are you seeing cassie again ? sharon : you know i have . i told you . nick : that was a dream . sharon : but that 's still my mind giving me messages , just like in a hallucination . nick : everyone has dreams , and as far as cassie goes , of course you 're thinking about her right now and dreaming about her . think about it . mariah is here , and we 're getting married . and you want cassie to be a part of it , and so do i , but that is the only message your brain is trying to send to you . sharon : we were getting married ... and i ruined it . i ruined everything . nick : no , you did n't . phyllis walked into that chapel and collapsed . there was n't anything anyone could do about that . but we said what we needed to say . i got to kiss my bride . even if we did n't get to make it legal , nothing is ruined . finalizing this marriage is just a formality . sharon , this is permanent . we are forever . sharon : i 'm so sorry . nick : do n't be sorry . come on . let 's just go home . sharon : faith and the kids -- i ran out . uh , who knows what they 're thinking ? mariah : i mean , holy crap . that was nuts . this phyllis chick just wakes up from the dead and shows up at a wedding ? noah : well , she was in a coma , so ... not dead , obviously . mariah : yeah , but everybody was acting like she was , right ? i mean , they did n't expect her to wake up and throw rice . faith : the minister did n't say `` husband and wife `` like in the movies . daddy has to bring mommy home and say `` husband and wife . `` noah : oh . sweetie , i do n't think that they 're gon na be able to do that tonight , okay ? but mom and dad will be home soon . faith : the penny was supposed to be lucky . mariah : what penny ? the one you gave sharon for her shoe ? noah : sweetie , this was n't about luck , okay ? i mean , if anything , tonight -- it was good luck 'cause summer 's mom -- she was sick , and she got better . mariah : hey , and did n't you have that talk about superstitions ? you do n't need a magic wand or a lucky penny to fix this . it 's all gon na be fine . faith : but i wanted them to get married . mariah : yeah , and i want a pink pony with braids . faith : me , too . noah : [ chuckles ] mariah : [ chuckles ] noah : okay , faith , mom and dad love each other so much that sometimes they ca n't even tell that somebody else is in the room . so , `` husband and wife `` or not , they 're gon na be together forever . chelsea : the baby 's coming ? it 's too early , is n't it ? billy : vick 's not due for another month . what happened ? oh , is it -- it 's that damn bachelorette party , was n't it ? everybody getting arrested and -- abby : or maybe the baby just decided it was time , and since my money is on you being the baby daddy , i thought you should know , but i guess you were just too busy to answer your phone . billy : do n't do that . it is not chelsea 's fault that i did n't pick up . abby : whatever . are you driving , or am i ? billy : well , considering the fact that i 'm not leaving , it 's gon na be kind of hard for me to drive . abby : i 'm sorry . what ? just because chelsea 's standing there , you think you need to act like a zombie ? your baby might be being born . billy : and victoria picked you to be the birthing coach , not me . we 're divorced . she does n't want me there . abby : why ? because she said that ? why would you believe her ? billy : did she send you to come get me ? abby : no , but i know my sister . billy : and i know my ex - wife . [ sighs ] i 'm not gon na go down there and stress her out , abby . so go back down there and help her through this . you 're the one she wants . abby : [ scoffs ] congratulations . you just kept a man from bringing his child into the world . well - done . billy : abby , come on . chelsea : okay , you have to go . billy : no . chelsea : she needs you . your baby -- billy : or stitch 's . chelsea : or yours . you have to be there for your sake -- for the baby 's . billy : [ sighs ] chelsea : do n't miss this chance , billy . you might not get it again . victoria : so they did n't get married ? sharon left nick at the altar ? nikki : well , it was n't quite like that . victoria : you said she ran away from her groom . nikki : it was very unusual circumstances . victoria : well , you see , that 's just it . that 's just sharon . she does n't react like a rational person . `` gee , the mother of your daughter , your ex - wife who 's just recovered from a terrible accident just -- she just recovered , and , oh , let me just run off and make it all about me . `` nikki : no , i - i really do n't think it was a plea for attention . i think it was an instinctual reaction . she just had to get out of there . victoria : by leaving the man that she supposedly loves to deal with it all on his own ? after avery already left him at the altar ? could sharon not just for once put nick first ? i do n't know . sorry . okay , i 'm sorry . i just -- you know what ? i need to see him . nikki : no , no , no . no . stay here . stay here . sit down . you 're going to stay here and wait until you are released , okay ? you let nicholas handle this on his own . i know you 're the older sister , but you can not be his protector -- not tonight . there 's somebody else who needs your attention . victoria : [ sighs ] could they not hurry up with those release forms ? nikki : all right , i 'm gon na go see what the holdup is . do n't you try to make a break for it , okay ? there 's been enough excitement for one day . summer : i 've prayed for this day for so long . and not just when i went to sleep or when i woke up . i could be stopped at a stoplight and just think to myself , `` just , please , god -- please , just let me have my mom back . `` and i know that some people gave up , and i think that that was because it just hurt so much to have hope , and they just needed to stop hurting . but for me , it would have hurt so much more to not have any hope . and then you walked in like an angel ... except you were real . [ voice breaking ] you came back to me , mom . i can not lose you again . please . i ca n't lose you again . i ca n't lose you . [ sniffles ] phyllis : i 'm here , baby ... to stay . summer : [ crying ] abby : all right , i got magazines and soothing music , and are you stressed ? do n't be stressed . victoria : good . i am not stressed . abby : okay , you went with the epidural already . not part of our birth plan , but you know what ? who can blame you ? that baby is barging his or her way out . victoria : abby , it was braxton - hicks contractions , okay ? the baby is fine . the baby is staying put . abby : [ exhales deeply ] oh , thank god . i needed more time to prepare . oh , i just threw a bunch of things in a bag , and they were not real labor - ready . and these shoes -- not fluid - friendly . victoria : oh , good . are n't we lucky ? the baby knew that it was bad timing for you . abby : well , i still feel terrible that i left you here even though it 's a false alarm . are you okay ? victoria : no , i am not okay . i ca n't stop thinking about all the things that could go wrong , all right , and all of the days after that . and this tiny little life that it 's just -- i 'm gon na be completely responsible for . abby : stop , 'cause look how amazing johnny and reed are . you are a great mom . victoria : thank you very much , but i was n't alone for that . i 'm gon na be alone for this baby . abby : billy will be there for you -- whatever you need , whatever you let him do . victoria : yeah , according to the visitation schedule and every alternate wednesday if billy is the father . and then there 's ben , who 's moving on with his life , which is a great thing -- an honest life . good . but a new life with work and personal relationships . abby : okay , well , if you 're throwing my mom into that mix ... victoria : oh , please . i do n't even care , okay ? abby : all i 'm saying is , yes , i will admit there is some sort of -- victoria : a chemical attraction between ben and your mother that 's very obvious to everybody . abby : okay , but if the baby is his , stitch will do everything he can for that kid . he 'll be in your face day and night -- as if you need that kind of stress . but you know i hope the baby 's billy 's , and do n't be mad , but i went and told him about your labor . victoria : and let me guess -- he was with chelsea . billy : great . thank you . pizza 's on the way . i got it with frozen chia globules and sausage broth . work for you ? chelsea : no . billy : it was -- it was a joke . i got it with half pepperoni and veggie . chelsea : you are so stubborn . how did i never see this before ? billy : you know , there 's a 30-minute - or - less delivery time , so if you want to go upstairs and race the clock , we -- chelsea : billy . billy : down here ? chelsea : please go . billy : [ sighs ] why ? chelsea : because you want to be at the hospital , so go . billy : so that what , chels ? so that i can -- i can pace the halls and hand out candy cigars and -- oh , here 's an idea . i could thumb wrestle stitch to see who handles the baby first . chelsea : this is the baby that victoria never expected to have . if she 's scared , you can make it better . billy : or i could make her crazy exactly when she does n't need it . chelsea : okay , then you lay low in the waiting area . you let abby know you 're there , but -- but if victoria calls for you , you can get to her . billy : and if she does n't ? chelsea : then you wait . and then , eventually , you get to meet a beautiful baby boy or baby girl , but you got to go . billy : [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] i mean , it 's not like you 're gon na be able to think about anything else tonight , anyway . jack : thank you , doctor . barton : of course . okay . nikki : hey . how 's phyllis doing ? avery : she 's sedated and resting . summer 's in there with her now . i think she just needs to see her and touch her . i was in with her before , and it 's just so unreal . jack : for all of us . i feel almost numb . i saw her in the church , and my -- my brain still ca n't make sense of it . nikki : yeah . well , so much has changed this last year . phyllis has no idea . jack : the world kept turning for everyone but phyllis . now she 's back . what 's next ? summer : [ voice breaking ] mom . phyllis : [ weakly ] it 's okay , summer . mommy 's okay . summer : i was supposed to go to the clinic . i could have been there with you . i could have brought you home . i should have gone . i 'm sorry . phyllis : i made it , did n't i ? i 'm here with you . summer : yeah . i love you . phyllis : i love you ... supergirl . now i need to see your father . okay ? summer : okay . billy : excuse me . uh , victoria newman 's room , please ? jack : billy . hey , i 'm glad you 're here , man . billy : hey . you , too . i - i guess abby called you over , huh ? she probably wants to make sure that the first faces the baby sees are all abbotts . jack : wait -- victoria 's in labor ? billy : which you did n't know , so what are you doing here ? jack : phyllis woke up . billy : are you -- are you kidding ? why are n't you on a jet to the clinic ? jack : because she 's in this hospital right now . billy : wait -- they transferred her ? jack : no . hardly . frankly , i do n't know how she got here , but i do n't focus on that right now , or i 'm tempted to sue somebody . no , she showed up at nick and sharon 's wedding . billy : holy -- whoa . well , i guess she picked up right where she left off -- stirring up trouble . i - i say that with love . jack : i know you do . [ door opens ] summer : billy , hi . billy : hey . summer : hi . billy : jack just told me the fantastic news . summer : yeah , it 's about to get even more fantastic . mom is awake , and she wants to see you . billy : do n't leave her hanging . [ chuckles ] heads will roll . jack : yeah , that 's who she is . billy : hey , the woman that you love made her way back to where she belongs . jack : indeed , she did . hey , red . phyllis : jack . jack : yeah , were you expecting someone else ? faith : mommy ! noah : see , i told you dad would find her . mom 's home . everything 's fine . faith : why did you run away ? mariah : i do n't know how many weddings you 've been to , faith , but that one was a little bit different . the way that summer 's mom showed up was kind of crazy , and she was sick , and it looks like she 's better now , and i think people were just super surprised . that goes double for your mom . sharon : yeah . um , mariah 's right . i was just really shocked when i saw phyllis , but i did n't mean to scare you , and i know that you had your big brother and your big sister to look after you . faith : if summer 's mom is better , why 'd she fall down and not get up ? nick : well , she 's with the doctors now , sweetheart , and they 're gon na make sure she 's okay . any word ? noah : i traded a few texts with austin . last i heard , she 's sedated , but the initial tests -- they look good . nick : i 'm just glad phyllis has her family around her . it 's gon na make all the difference . i hope someone gets ahold of daniel . he 's not gon na want to miss out on this . losing all that time with someone you love and never getting it back ... sharon : um , sweet pea , why do n't we go upstairs and get changed out of our fancy clothes ? i 'll make you something to eat . mariah : i 'll get you a yogurt . sharon : thank you . noah : what happened ? why did mom rush out of the church ? nick : well , mariah may not know your mother very well , but she was pretty right about that . sharon just panicked . she saw phyllis . she thought it was another hallucination . noah : oh . no wonder she freaked out . hell , i thought i was seeing things . nick : she 's worried that phyllis is gon na spill her secret . noah : this secret again -- i hope she does spill it . what could it be that 's so bad ? at least it 'll be out in the open . we can all just move past it . nick : yeah , i 'm with you on that . noah : speaking of moving on , faith was asking me when you 're gon na finish the `` i now pronounce you husband and wife `` part of the wedding . nick : that will happen as soon as sharon 's ready . we are gon na spend the rest of our lives together , and nothing that happened today is gon na change that , okay ? abby : yes , i did find billy with chelsea . how does that make you feel ? victoria : they 're seeing each other , abby , okay ? it 's not news . abby : you know what ? okay , now that we know the baby is okay , and you 're about to go home , there is no reason for me to couch this . victoria : couch what ? abby : you pushed the man you love into another woman 's arms . yeah , you threw him out , and you made me your labor coach . you basically shoved him at chelsea . victoria : i did not shove him at anybody . we 're divorced . billy is free to see whoever he wants to see , and he chose chelsea . abby : yeah , but dad and nikki -- they get divorced like it 's their hobby , but they still want to be together . and f.y.i . , billy does not care about chelsea . victoria : you are wrong about that . they happen to have a connection . they have done some really terrible things , and having that in common is like a relief for them . they do n't have to hide who they are from each other . do you know how many times i 've asked billy to be honest with me and to step up and to let me in ? and he thinks that i 'm just gon na crumble or that i 'm gon na be hurt , and you know what ? he does n't have to worry about that with chelsea . she 's lived with adam . being with billy will be a cakewalk for her . abby : so you 're just gon na give up ? victoria : did you tell billy that i was in labor ? abby : yes . victoria : okay , so , then where is he ? abby : because you did n't want him here . victoria : because , abby , having him here just makes things too complicated , all right ? [ door opens ] billy : is she okay ? are -- are you okay ? abby : [ sighs ] billy : look , you can -- you can throw me out if you want to , but i just -- i need to know that you and the baby are okay . billy : so , it was just false labor ? victoria : yeah . the baby is still safe and healthy . do n't worry . billy : what about you ? victoria : yeah , me , too . i 'm just waiting for dr. chiverton to sign off on my release forms . billy : [ sighs ] you , small fry -- we need to have a chat . you got to stop freaking people out . see , you may not know this about your mom , but she 's that take - on - the - world type -- johnny , reed , and newman - chancellor , cleaning up after the mustache -- i mean -- i mean grandpa . victoria : do you think the baby really needs to hear this right now ? billy : i kept it rated `` g. `` all i 'm saying is that she does n't need this right now , so cut her a break . and if you do , i 'll give you a cookie ... when you have teeth . victoria : okay , billy , the baby 's fine , okay ? i am , too . billy : you need to take care of you . let the world take care of itself for a while . victoria : this baby is my priority . billy : well , can i get you anything , then ? water ? ice cream ? trashy magazine ? i could wait around till chiverton signs off and chauffeur you home . victoria : look , i know that abby interrupted your evening , so why do n't you get back to it ? billy : it 's not a problem . and i mean that . victoria : well , i do n't think abby went very far . my mom 's here , so ... they 'll take care of me . i 'm fine . billy : right . okay . just as long as you 're okay . victoria : billy . well , thank you for coming . chelsea : [ exhales deeply ] sharon : faith 's so exhausted , i think one story should do it for tonight . mariah : she 's a tough girl . when she gets something in her head , it 's hard to shake it . she thought that she might have jinxed you and nick with the penny that she gave you . i tried to tell her that it does n't work that way . sharon : thank you for trying . i know you did n't want an instant family , mariah , but you 're a good big sister ... for explaining the shock of seeing phyllis . mariah : i could n't tell her why you really took off , could i ? phyllis knows your secret about nick . that 's why you freaked -- because you know that it 's all gon na come out sooner or later . and , yes , i will do what i can for faith , because she 's gon na need it when all of this hits the fan . jack : those eyes -- summer was right . i did n't realize how much i missed those . how you feeling ? phyllis : exhausted . evidently , i had a really long nap . jack : you do n't have to think about that right now . phyllis : a year ? a whole year , jack ? jack : you know what ? you 're tired because they 've given you a sedative . eventually , that 'll wear off . right now , you just need to rest . we can talk later ... about everything . phyllis : about summer ? jack : summer missed you so much . i tried to be the father to her that i thought she needed , but having her with me was a gift . plain and simple , it was a gift . phyllis : you love her . jack : yeah . always have . but knowing that she was mine , knowing that you and i made this beautiful young woman -- well , having her with me was -- it meant the world to me . i think she likes having me in her life , too . we got each other through this . losing you was ... [ inhales deeply ] i could have gone back to the pills , but i would look at summer , and i would think i could never do that to my daughter . mariah : hey . noah : you did n't have to come in . mariah : well , i could n't exactly stay at the house , and since nick does n't want me drinking too much and crashing on people 's couches , here i am . noah : hey , how did my mom look when you left ? mariah : i ca n't get inside sharon 's head , and i do n't want to . abby : champagne to celebrate . noah : oh , i get it . phyllis is okay . it 's great . but the other stuff ... abby : oh , no , it 's the other stuff that i 'm celebrating . yeah , uncle jack has phyllis back , and kelly can move on to another set of brothers . billy and victoria are bonding over braxton - hicks . and nick and sharon are n't legally we d . silver linings all around . noah : come on . abby , do n't -- do n't pull this stuff right now . if anybody deserves to be happy , it 's my parents . abby : oh , come on , noah . you are doing what you have been doing for years -- trying to look after your mom since she ca n't do it herself . well , she can , she will , and nick will find someone else to be happy with . noah : i 'm not doing this with you . abby : [ scoffs ] you know i 'm right , right ? mariah : [ scoffs ] abby : you 've seen sharon . she makes herself out to be this victim , while she ruins lives around her . you were right to keep your distance . mariah : i do n't need a pat on the back from you for having common sense . i know sharon . i know what she 's done . she 's not a victim . nick : so , today was not what anyone expected , huh ? sharon : but we 're happy for summer that her mommy 's feeling better . nick : noah said you were upset that we did n't get to the `` husband and wife `` part . faith : it 's okay . you guys are meant to be together , no matter what . nick : that 's right . so , today was all good news . nothing to worry about . in fact , the only thing this means is that you get to have another really , really big party after we make it official . let me see those teeth . nice . nice . very clean . very clean . now give me a kiss . all right . now go give one to your mommy . sharon : mwah ! hug . love you , baby . faith : night . nick : good night . do n't do it . sharon : what ? nick : do n't go down that hole again . i can see the look in your eyes . today was not a sign . it was n't an omen . there is nothing that phyllis knows that can hurt us . you have to trust me . and what faith said was right . we 're meant to be together . avery : i hate that dylan is in a cell . he would want to check in on victoria , see how she 's doing . nikki : i hate having people believe that he 's a murderer . but thank god it 's all an act . if he really were a suspect ... plus , everything that happened today ... avery : it 's too much for anyone to handle . but you 're okay ? nikki : i have to be . now i have to get victoria out of here . summer : oh , my god . daniel does n't know about my mom . i totally forgot to call him . avery : i 've been trying to reach daniel . this grant has him in some remote region . summer : okay , did you try calling heather ? avery : yes , i did . she sends her love , and she says she 'll keep trying to reach him . summer : okay , but he should know . it 's because of him that mom 's awake . he 's the one that picked the clinic . avery : i know . i wanted to keep my sister here , but daniel was right . although this clinic 's release protocol is highly unconventional . austin : it 's just -- it 's not normal , right , for a clinic just to release someone like that ? i mean , summer 's mom must have been awake for a long time . should n't they have called somebody ? avery : i agree , and i fully intend to look into that . in fact , no time like the present . excuse me . summer : thank you . austin : come on . you should sit . summer : i just -- i do n't -- austin : i - i know . summer : and my mom is back . i got to talk to her . she -- she talked to me . austin : yeah . summer : i have n't heard her voice in so long . i was scared i would never hear it again . i have you . i have both of my dads . i have my mom . it 's just -- it 's all too good . i do n't want this moment to end . austin : come here . jack : i 'm gon na take that kiss on to the plane with me and every step of the way after that . in return , i want you to keep one thought in mind . when i come back from georgia , i 'm coming back to the woman i love , and together , we are going to let the past go -- yours and mine -- and with it , all of the pain and upset and heartache and disappointment . all that will matter is our future together . kelly : god , i want to believe that . i really do . jack : then believe it . believe it . kelly : [ crying ] jack : summer is amazing . she did n't have an easy time of it with you gone , but she proved to be brave and strong and every bit your daughter ... and nick 's . what he did -- not retaking the dna test , not telling us about it -- he and i have had words about it as recently as , well , the other night . he knows how i feel , but i know he loves summer , and that means something . phyllis : jack ... there 's something you have to know . nikki : finally . the doctor has signed everything , and you , my love , are going home . victoria : good . there is too much to do that i ca n't do from here . nikki : oh , no , you 're not going home to work . you 're going home to rest . hey , come to the ranch . your father 's out of town . i can look after johnny . victoria : mom , that 's the point . dad 's out of town . i need to be at the office . nikki : no , the office can wait . you and the baby are your priority . victoria : i can look after both of us . i have to . billy : hey . chelsea : what -- what happened ? how 's victoria ? billy : false alarm . chelsea : oh . but she 's okay ? and the baby ? billy : both healthy . both well . jack , on the other hand -- his life just got really complicated . chelsea : what happened ? billy : you got any pizza left ? 'cause the jack thing 's a long story , and i 'm still starving . chelsea : come in . eat . stay . talk . billy : my kind of invitation . [ sighs ] back where i need to be . jack : there 's plenty of time to tell me whatever you have to tell me . right now , you need rest and medical attention . you 've been in a coma for a long time . your body , your muscles -- they all need to recover . phyllis : not here . jack : well , honey , you do n't want to go back to the clinic . phyllis : no . i want to go home . nick : the fact is , you are my wife in every way that matters . and a few missing words at the end of a ceremony is n't gon na undo what we feel . sharon : i know you 're right . nick : okay , so if you 're scared that phyllis knows something , then let 's talk it out until you 're convinced that it does n't matter . unless ... sharon : unless what ? nick : did seeing phyllis trigger something for you ? do you remember , sharon ?

[ sighs ] nick : look , it was hard for all of us , but you panicked . what scared you so much ? is it the secret that you told phyllis ? you 're afraid of what she knows ? sharon : i do n't know what she knows ! and i ca n't even remember because of the damn ect treatment . nick : look , that does n't matter . sharon : yes , it does . if phyllis had n't collapsed , she would have let you all in on it , and then -- nick : and then nothing . nothing is gon na change the way i feel about you . do you know that ? sharon : it was just ... seeing phyllis again . that was my panic . i felt like i was hallucinating all over again . and being at the altar with you , saying our vows , and then seeing her ? i felt like i was losing myself and you all over again . nick : as insane as it was , it happened . we all saw the same thing . sharon , you 're okay . all your hallucinations are in the past . sharon : nick , i do n't know if that 's true . chelsea : the watermelon water pearls were cute . billy : and the , uh -- what was it ? smoked - oyster ice cubes ? [ chuckles ] chelsea : yeah , that was ... billy : beyond words . chelsea : you hated it . billy : no , no , it was , uh ... chelsea : ridiculous . billy : [ chuckles ] chelsea : and the worst part is , i 'm starving now . no , no , the worst part is it was my idea to go to that restaurant , and i 'm starving now . billy : never too late for pizza . chelsea : yeah ! seriously ? billy : yeah . all it takes is a call . [ knock on door ] billy : it 's true -- i 'm psychic . i have a connection to the delivery guy . chelsea : abby . abby : oh , hi . yes , did i have to track you down at your mistress 's house because you ca n't answer your phone ? and you need to know victoria is in labor . nikki : honey , are you all right ? victoria : oh , hi . yeah . i 'm okay , honestly . it was just braxton - hicks contractions , and dr. chiverton is signing my release papers right now . there 's nothing to worry about at all . i promise . nikki : well , thank goodness . that baby needs to stay where he or she is for a little while longer . victoria : i just feel awful . i 'm making this big fuss out of nothing . i should have known that it was false labor . nikki : well , honey , how could you have known ? now , listen , your first obligation is to that baby and yourself . victoria : i know . running out on nick ? [ groans ] nikki : uh , you were n't the only one . the wedding did n't quite go as planned . victoria : what ? did he back out ? nikki : there was an interruption . victoria : [ gasps ] oh . dad . nikki : actually , it was phyllis . victoria : what ? do you mean literally ? she actually physically showed up at the church ? i mean , how is that even possible ? nikki : well , it may not be possible , but that 's what happened . she came right into the church , walked down the aisle , and collapsed in front of everybody . everybody 's in shock . of course , now she 's here . she 's in memorial . i just hope to god she pulls through this for summer 's sake . austin : summer . summer : hey . kelly : hey . how is she ? jack : she 's -- she 's here . she 's , uh -- avery : barton , please , explain this to me -- all of it . jack : last we heard , there was little chance she was coming out of the coma . summer : okay , but she 's okay , right ? she 's back for good ? barton : we ran preliminary scans on phyllis when she first arrived . her brain activity is normal . her vitals are n't alarming , so there 's no indication of any immediate issues . summer : then why did she collapse at the church ? barton : well , just traveling all those miles to get here would have been strenuous enough for her . jack : when can we talk to her about that ? avery : we have so many questions . barton : i 'm sure you do , and she will have plenty herself , but right now , we need to keep things simple . now , the period after regaining consciousness can be extremely confusing , so do n't push for answers . do n't overwhelm her with a lot of information . she may not be able to handle everything that has happened in her absence . nick : what are you saying ? are you seeing cassie again ? sharon : you know i have . i told you . nick : that was a dream . sharon : but that 's still my mind giving me messages , just like in a hallucination . nick : everyone has dreams , and as far as cassie goes , of course you 're thinking about her right now and dreaming about her . think about it . mariah is here , and we 're getting married . and you want cassie to be a part of it , and so do i , but that is the only message your brain is trying to send to you . sharon : we were getting married ... and i ruined it . i ruined everything . nick : no , you did n't . phyllis walked into that chapel and collapsed . there was n't anything anyone could do about that . but we said what we needed to say . i got to kiss my bride . even if we did n't get to make it legal , nothing is ruined . finalizing this marriage is just a formality . sharon , this is permanent . we are forever . sharon : i 'm so sorry . nick : do n't be sorry . come on . let 's just go home . sharon : faith and the kids -- i ran out . uh , who knows what they 're thinking ? mariah : i mean , holy crap . that was nuts . this phyllis chick just wakes up from the dead and shows up at a wedding ? noah : well , she was in a coma , so ... not dead , obviously . mariah : yeah , but everybody was acting like she was , right ? i mean , they did n't expect her to wake up and throw rice . faith : the minister did n't say `` husband and wife `` like in the movies . daddy has to bring mommy home and say `` husband and wife . `` noah : oh . sweetie , i do n't think that they 're gon na be able to do that tonight , okay ? but mom and dad will be home soon . faith : the penny was supposed to be lucky . mariah : what penny ? the one you gave sharon for her shoe ? noah : sweetie , this was n't about luck , okay ? i mean , if anything , tonight -- it was good luck 'cause summer 's mom -- she was sick , and she got better . mariah : hey , and did n't you have that talk about superstitions ? you do n't need a magic wand or a lucky penny to fix this . it 's all gon na be fine . faith : but i wanted them to get married . mariah : yeah , and i want a pink pony with braids . faith : me , too . noah : [ chuckles ] mariah : [ chuckles ] noah : okay , faith , mom and dad love each other so much that sometimes they ca n't even tell that somebody else is in the room . so , `` husband and wife `` or not , they 're gon na be together forever . chelsea : the baby 's coming ? it 's too early , is n't it ? billy : vick 's not due for another month . what happened ? oh , is it -- it 's that damn bachelorette party , was n't it ? everybody getting arrested and -- abby : or maybe the baby just decided it was time , and since my money is on you being the baby daddy , i thought you should know , but i guess you were just too busy to answer your phone . billy : do n't do that . it is not chelsea 's fault that i did n't pick up . abby : whatever . are you driving , or am i ? billy : well , considering the fact that i 'm not leaving , it 's gon na be kind of hard for me to drive . abby : i 'm sorry . what ? just because chelsea 's standing there , you think you need to act like a zombie ? your baby might be being born . billy : and victoria picked you to be the birthing coach , not me . we 're divorced . she does n't want me there . abby : why ? because she said that ? why would you believe her ? billy : did she send you to come get me ? abby : no , but i know my sister . billy : and i know my ex - wife . [ sighs ] i 'm not gon na go down there and stress her out , abby . so go back down there and help her through this . you 're the one she wants . abby : [ scoffs ] congratulations . you just kept a man from bringing his child into the world . well - done . billy : abby , come on . chelsea : okay , you have to go . billy : no . chelsea : she needs you . your baby -- billy : or stitch 's . chelsea : or yours . you have to be there for your sake -- for the baby 's . billy : [ sighs ] chelsea : do n't miss this chance , billy . you might not get it again . victoria : so they did n't get married ? sharon left nick at the altar ? nikki : well , it was n't quite like that . victoria : you said she ran away from her groom . nikki : it was very unusual circumstances . victoria : well , you see , that 's just it . that 's just sharon . she does n't react like a rational person . `` gee , the mother of your daughter , your ex - wife who 's just recovered from a terrible accident just -- she just recovered , and , oh , let me just run off and make it all about me . `` nikki : no , i - i really do n't think it was a plea for attention . i think it was an instinctual reaction . she just had to get out of there . victoria : by leaving the man that she supposedly loves to deal with it all on his own ? after avery already left him at the altar ? could sharon not just for once put nick first ? i do n't know . sorry . okay , i 'm sorry . i just -- you know what ? i need to see him . nikki : no , no , no . no . stay here . stay here . sit down . you 're going to stay here and wait until you are released , okay ? you let nicholas handle this on his own . i know you 're the older sister , but you can not be his protector -- not tonight . there 's somebody else who needs your attention . victoria : [ sighs ] could they not hurry up with those release forms ? nikki : all right , i 'm gon na go see what the holdup is . do n't you try to make a break for it , okay ? there 's been enough excitement for one day . summer : i 've prayed for this day for so long . and not just when i went to sleep or when i woke up . i could be stopped at a stoplight and just think to myself , `` just , please , god -- please , just let me have my mom back . `` and i know that some people gave up , and i think that that was because it just hurt so much to have hope , and they just needed to stop hurting . but for me , it would have hurt so much more to not have any hope . and then you walked in like an angel ... except you were real . [ voice breaking ] you came back to me , mom . i can not lose you again . please . i ca n't lose you again . i ca n't lose you . [ sniffles ] phyllis : i 'm here , baby ... to stay . summer : [ crying ] abby : all right , i got magazines and soothing music , and are you stressed ? do n't be stressed . victoria : good . i am not stressed . abby : okay , you went with the epidural already . not part of our birth plan , but you know what ? who can blame you ? that baby is barging his or her way out . victoria : abby , it was braxton - hicks contractions , okay ? the baby is fine . the baby is staying put . abby : [ exhales deeply ] oh , thank god . i needed more time to prepare . oh , i just threw a bunch of things in a bag , and they were not real labor - ready . and these shoes -- not fluid - friendly . victoria : oh , good . are n't we lucky ? the baby knew that it was bad timing for you . abby : well , i still feel terrible that i left you here even though it 's a false alarm . are you okay ? victoria : no , i am not okay . i ca n't stop thinking about all the things that could go wrong , all right , and all of the days after that . and this tiny little life that it 's just -- i 'm gon na be completely responsible for . abby : stop , 'cause look how amazing johnny and reed are . you are a great mom . victoria : thank you very much , but i was n't alone for that . i 'm gon na be alone for this baby . abby : billy will be there for you -- whatever you need , whatever you let him do . victoria : yeah , according to the visitation schedule and every alternate wednesday if billy is the father . and then there 's ben , who 's moving on with his life , which is a great thing -- an honest life . good . but a new life with work and personal relationships . abby : okay , well , if you 're throwing my mom into that mix ... victoria : oh , please . i do n't even care , okay ? abby : all i 'm saying is , yes , i will admit there is some sort of -- victoria : a chemical attraction between ben and your mother that 's very obvious to everybody . abby : okay , but if the baby is his , stitch will do everything he can for that kid . he 'll be in your face day and night -- as if you need that kind of stress . but you know i hope the baby 's billy 's , and do n't be mad , but i went and told him about your labor . victoria : and let me guess -- he was with chelsea . billy : great . thank you . pizza 's on the way . i got it with frozen chia globules and sausage broth . work for you ? chelsea : no . billy : it was -- it was a joke . i got it with half pepperoni and veggie . chelsea : you are so stubborn . how did i never see this before ? billy : you know , there 's a 30-minute - or - less delivery time , so if you want to go upstairs and race the clock , we -- chelsea : billy . billy : down here ? chelsea : please go . billy : [ sighs ] why ? chelsea : because you want to be at the hospital , so go . billy : so that what , chels ? so that i can -- i can pace the halls and hand out candy cigars and -- oh , here 's an idea . i could thumb wrestle stitch to see who handles the baby first . chelsea : this is the baby that victoria never expected to have . if she 's scared , you can make it better . billy : or i could make her crazy exactly when she does n't need it . chelsea : okay , then you lay low in the waiting area . you let abby know you 're there , but -- but if victoria calls for you , you can get to her . billy : and if she does n't ? chelsea : then you wait . and then , eventually , you get to meet a beautiful baby boy or baby girl , but you got to go . billy : [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] i mean , it 's not like you 're gon na be able to think about anything else tonight , anyway . jack : thank you , doctor . barton : of course . okay . nikki : hey . how 's phyllis doing ? avery : she 's sedated and resting . summer 's in there with her now . i think she just needs to see her and touch her . i was in with her before , and it 's just so unreal . jack : for all of us . i feel almost numb . i saw her in the church , and my -- my brain still ca n't make sense of it . nikki : yeah . well , so much has changed this last year . phyllis has no idea . jack : the world kept turning for everyone but phyllis . now she 's back . what 's next ? summer : [ voice breaking ] mom . phyllis : [ weakly ] it 's okay , summer . mommy 's okay . summer : i was supposed to go to the clinic . i could have been there with you . i could have brought you home . i should have gone . i 'm sorry . phyllis : i made it , did n't i ? i 'm here with you . summer : yeah . i love you . phyllis : i love you ... supergirl . now i need to see your father . okay ? summer : okay . billy : excuse me . uh , victoria newman 's room , please ? jack : billy . hey , i 'm glad you 're here , man . billy : hey . you , too . i - i guess abby called you over , huh ? she probably wants to make sure that the first faces the baby sees are all abbotts . jack : wait -- victoria 's in labor ? billy : which you did n't know , so what are you doing here ? jack : phyllis woke up . billy : are you -- are you kidding ? why are n't you on a jet to the clinic ? jack : because she 's in this hospital right now . billy : wait -- they transferred her ? jack : no . hardly . frankly , i do n't know how she got here , but i do n't focus on that right now , or i 'm tempted to sue somebody . no , she showed up at nick and sharon 's wedding . billy : holy -- whoa . well , i guess she picked up right where she left off -- stirring up trouble . i - i say that with love . jack : i know you do . [ door opens ] summer : billy , hi . billy : hey . summer : hi . billy : jack just told me the fantastic news . summer : yeah , it 's about to get even more fantastic . mom is awake , and she wants to see you . billy : do n't leave her hanging . [ chuckles ] heads will roll . jack : yeah , that 's who she is . billy : hey , the woman that you love made her way back to where she belongs . jack : indeed , she did . hey , red . phyllis : jack . jack : yeah , were you expecting someone else ? faith : mommy ! noah : see , i told you dad would find her . mom 's home . everything 's fine . faith : why did you run away ? mariah : i do n't know how many weddings you 've been to , faith , but that one was a little bit different . the way that summer 's mom showed up was kind of crazy , and she was sick , and it looks like she 's better now , and i think people were just super surprised . that goes double for your mom . sharon : yeah . um , mariah 's right . i was just really shocked when i saw phyllis , but i did n't mean to scare you , and i know that you had your big brother and your big sister to look after you . faith : if summer 's mom is better , why 'd she fall down and not get up ? nick : well , she 's with the doctors now , sweetheart , and they 're gon na make sure she 's okay . any word ? noah : i traded a few texts with austin . last i heard , she 's sedated , but the initial tests -- they look good . nick : i 'm just glad phyllis has her family around her . it 's gon na make all the difference . i hope someone gets ahold of daniel . he 's not gon na want to miss out on this . losing all that time with someone you love and never getting it back ... sharon : um , sweet pea , why do n't we go upstairs and get changed out of our fancy clothes ? i 'll make you something to eat . mariah : i 'll get you a yogurt . sharon : thank you . noah : what happened ? why did mom rush out of the church ? nick : well , mariah may not know your mother very well , but she was pretty right about that . sharon just panicked . she saw phyllis . she thought it was another hallucination . noah : oh . no wonder she freaked out . hell , i thought i was seeing things . nick : she 's worried that phyllis is gon na spill her secret . noah : this secret again -- i hope she does spill it . what could it be that 's so bad ? at least it 'll be out in the open . we can all just move past it . nick : yeah , i 'm with you on that . noah : speaking of moving on , faith was asking me when you 're gon na finish the `` i now pronounce you husband and wife `` part of the wedding . nick : that will happen as soon as sharon 's ready . we are gon na spend the rest of our lives together , and nothing that happened today is gon na change that , okay ? abby : yes , i did find billy with chelsea . how does that make you feel ? victoria : they 're seeing each other , abby , okay ? it 's not news . abby : you know what ? okay , now that we know the baby is okay , and you 're about to go home , there is no reason for me to couch this . victoria : couch what ? abby : you pushed the man you love into another woman 's arms . yeah , you threw him out , and you made me your labor coach . you basically shoved him at chelsea . victoria : i did not shove him at anybody . we 're divorced . billy is free to see whoever he wants to see , and he chose chelsea . abby : yeah , but dad and nikki -- they get divorced like it 's their hobby , but they still want to be together . and f.y.i . , billy does not care about chelsea . victoria : you are wrong about that . they happen to have a connection . they have done some really terrible things , and having that in common is like a relief for them . they do n't have to hide who they are from each other . do you know how many times i 've asked billy to be honest with me and to step up and to let me in ? and he thinks that i 'm just gon na crumble or that i 'm gon na be hurt , and you know what ? he does n't have to worry about that with chelsea . she 's lived with adam . being with billy will be a cakewalk for her . abby : so you 're just gon na give up ? victoria : did you tell billy that i was in labor ? abby : yes . victoria : okay , so , then where is he ? abby : because you did n't want him here . victoria : because , abby , having him here just makes things too complicated , all right ? [ door opens ] billy : is she okay ? are -- are you okay ? abby : [ sighs ] billy : look , you can -- you can throw me out if you want to , but i just -- i need to know that you and the baby are okay . billy : so , it was just false labor ? victoria : yeah . the baby is still safe and healthy . do n't worry . billy : what about you ? victoria : yeah , me , too . i 'm just waiting for dr. chiverton to sign off on my release forms . billy : [ sighs ] you , small fry -- we need to have a chat . you got to stop freaking people out . see , you may not know this about your mom , but she 's that take - on - the - world type -- johnny , reed , and newman - chancellor , cleaning up after the mustache -- i mean -- i mean grandpa . victoria : do you think the baby really needs to hear this right now ? billy : i kept it rated `` g. `` all i 'm saying is that she does n't need this right now , so cut her a break . and if you do , i 'll give you a cookie ... when you have teeth . victoria : okay , billy , the baby 's fine , okay ? i am , too . billy : you need to take care of you . let the world take care of itself for a while . victoria : this baby is my priority . billy : well , can i get you anything , then ? water ? ice cream ? trashy magazine ? i could wait around till chiverton signs off and chauffeur you home . victoria : look , i know that abby interrupted your evening , so why do n't you get back to it ? billy : it 's not a problem . and i mean that . victoria : well , i do n't think abby went very far . my mom 's here , so ... they 'll take care of me . i 'm fine . billy : right . okay . just as long as you 're okay . victoria : billy . well , thank you for coming . chelsea : [ exhales deeply ] sharon : faith 's so exhausted , i think one story should do it for tonight . mariah : she 's a tough girl . when she gets something in her head , it 's hard to shake it . she thought that she might have jinxed you and nick with the penny that she gave you . i tried to tell her that it does n't work that way . sharon : thank you for trying . i know you did n't want an instant family , mariah , but you 're a good big sister ... for explaining the shock of seeing phyllis . mariah : i could n't tell her why you really took off , could i ? phyllis knows your secret about nick . that 's why you freaked -- because you know that it 's all gon na come out sooner or later . and , yes , i will do what i can for faith , because she 's gon na need it when all of this hits the fan . jack : those eyes -- summer was right . i did n't realize how much i missed those . how you feeling ? phyllis : exhausted . evidently , i had a really long nap . jack : you do n't have to think about that right now . phyllis : a year ? a whole year , jack ? jack : you know what ? you 're tired because they 've given you a sedative . eventually , that 'll wear off . right now , you just need to rest . we can talk later ... about everything . phyllis : about summer ? jack : summer missed you so much . i tried to be the father to her that i thought she needed , but having her with me was a gift . plain and simple , it was a gift . phyllis : you love her . jack : yeah . always have . but knowing that she was mine , knowing that you and i made this beautiful young woman -- well , having her with me was -- it meant the world to me . i think she likes having me in her life , too . we got each other through this . losing you was ... [ inhales deeply ] i could have gone back to the pills , but i would look at summer , and i would think i could never do that to my daughter . mariah : hey . noah : you did n't have to come in . mariah : well , i could n't exactly stay at the house , and since nick does n't want me drinking too much and crashing on people 's couches , here i am . noah : hey , how did my mom look when you left ? mariah : i ca n't get inside sharon 's head , and i do n't want to . abby : champagne to celebrate . noah : oh , i get it . phyllis is okay . it 's great . but the other stuff ... abby : oh , no , it 's the other stuff that i 'm celebrating . yeah , uncle jack has phyllis back , and kelly can move on to another set of brothers . billy and victoria are bonding over braxton - hicks . and nick and sharon are n't legally we d . silver linings all around . noah : come on . abby , do n't -- do n't pull this stuff right now . if anybody deserves to be happy , it 's my parents . abby : oh , come on , noah . you are doing what you have been doing for years -- trying to look after your mom since she ca n't do it herself . well , she can , she will , and nick will find someone else to be happy with . noah : i 'm not doing this with you . abby : [ scoffs ] you know i 'm right , right ? mariah : [ scoffs ] abby : you 've seen sharon . she makes herself out to be this victim , while she ruins lives around her . you were right to keep your distance . mariah : i do n't need a pat on the back from you for having common sense . i know sharon . i know what she 's done . she 's not a victim . nick : so , today was not what anyone expected , huh ? sharon : but we 're happy for summer that her mommy 's feeling better . nick : noah said you were upset that we did n't get to the `` husband and wife `` part . faith : it 's okay . you guys are meant to be together , no matter what . nick : that 's right . so , today was all good news . nothing to worry about . in fact , the only thing this means is that you get to have another really , really big party after we make it official . let me see those teeth . nice . nice . very clean . very clean . now give me a kiss . all right . now go give one to your mommy . sharon : mwah ! hug . love you , baby . faith : night . nick : good night . do n't do it . sharon : what ? nick : do n't go down that hole again . i can see the look in your eyes . today was not a sign . it was n't an omen . there is nothing that phyllis knows that can hurt us . you have to trust me . and what faith said was right . we 're meant to be together . avery : i hate that dylan is in a cell . he would want to check in on victoria , see how she 's doing . nikki : i hate having people believe that he 's a murderer . but thank god it 's all an act . if he really were a suspect ... plus , everything that happened today ... avery : it 's too much for anyone to handle . but you 're okay ?

resting . quinn : i 'll take care of him . is mr. forrester aware of this ? quinn : ridge is downstairs in the living room . go ask him yourself . i 'm not leaving him . not ever again . hey . i will always be here for you . ridge : yeah , no , it 's fine . thanks for checking . of course . ridge : [ sighs ] oh , wyatt . you should have stayed out of it . wyatt : i tried . but after what you pulled -- ridge : what i pulled ? wyatt : yeah . ridge : trying to keep my dad out of harm 's way , that 's what i pulled . wyatt : that 's your perception . certainly not eric 's . ridge : what 's your perception of quinn ? wyatt : at times , it 's not very different than yours . she 's done crazy better than anyone until recently . ridge : so you 're convinced . wyatt : she 's changed , ridge . ridge : she 's a chameleon . not unlike you . wyatt : i have never seen her like this , and neither have you . ridge : her acting has improved , i give you that . wyatt : so , what , your dad 's too stupid to see that ? ridge : hey ! my father is ill and vulnerable to that woman . wyatt : hey , i did n't buy it at first , either . but anyone can see that those two are in love , and like it or not , they 're married . ridge : not officially . wyatt : you think they give a damn about a marriage license ? they 're husband and wife . there is nothing that anyone can do to change it . ridge : can i ask you something , wyatt ? wyatt : what ? ridge : does steffy know about this ? wyatt : yeah . and i ca n't believe she kept it from me , too . ridge : and i ca n't believe that you effectively ended your marriage to my daughter . wyatt : well , i 'm hoping that 's not the case because i love her , but my mother had the right to know . ridge : oh , wyatt . you do n't know steffy at all , do you ? [ door opens ] steffy : [ sighs ] quinn : i love him ! [ screams ] steffy : honestly , wyatt , i just do n't know how much more i can take . wyatt : my mother . how long have you known that she 's had eric 's power of attorney ? steffy : you have to keep this a secret . liam : you okay ? steffy : wyatt 's probably with his mom by now . liam : unless he changed his mind on the way over . steffy : oh , i do n't know . he was pretty determined when he left here . liam : you could call him . steffy : i said everything i needed to say . liam : [ sighs ] well , if wyatt tells quinn about the power of attorney and the truth comes out ... steffy : liam , i moved out of this house because of quinn , and i moved back in because i thought she was gone , that we had -- that we had control over her , but it turns out that we do n't have control over her . and if wyatt is telling his mom the truth , not only is quinn back in our lives ... ... but we 've given her power . she has control over my father , the company , my grandfather , and -- once again , she has control over my marriage . [ door opens ] steffy : you went to see your mom ? wyatt : yeah . steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt : your dad was trying to kick her out of the house . steffy : not surprised there . wyatt : my mother went up to see eric . apparently he came to briefly . steffy : what ? why did n't anyone text or call me ? wyatt : she said it was only for a few minutes , and he said for -- for her to stay . your dad thinks she 's a liar . steffy : so your mom did n't leave . wyatt : no . why would she ? she has power of attorney . steffy : you told her . wyatt : yeah . 'cause i had to , steffy . being away from her husband was killing her , and i did n't want her to go through that again . she should n't have had to in the first place . steffy : what did my dad do ? wyatt : what could he do ? he does n't have any power . my mom does . so if anyone was leaving , i said it had to be him . steffy : and you 're okay with this -- your mom in charge -- when we do n't even know if my grandfather 's gon na get better . how could you do this ? you know how i feel about your mom . she 's ruined my life , our marriage . wyatt : because the success and failure of our marriage has nothing to do with my mother , and it has everything to do with us -- our strength in our relationship , our love for each other . and i know we can get past this . but do you ? are you gon na stick around and fight for our marriage , or are you just gon na leave ? quinn : i was just thinking about all the wonderful times that we 've had together . [ sighs ] so many wonderful , wonderful memories . it feels like we 've been together for so long , but we 've only just begun , right ? then this . this -- this is just a speed bump 'cause you 're gon na get through this . i 'm gon na make sure of it . and i 'm gon na fight for you . i know about the power of attorney . the faith and the trust that you have placed in me ... it means the world . you 're not gon na regret this decision . i 'm gon na make you proud . i am going to protect you , our marriage , your company , and i 'm not gon na let anyone get in my way . you have given me a new life . changed me into someone i never , ever thought that i could be . you 've protected me , defended me , stood up for me . i 'm gon na do the exact same thing for you . you are safe with me , eric , until you 're ready to come back . eric ? eric ? hey . eric : still ... here . quinn : yes . [ laughs ] yeah , i 'm still here . you 're smiling . what 's that smile ? eric : mon ... monaco . quinn : monaco . [ laughs ] yes . monaco . that 's where you told me that my eyes were the same color as the sea . and then you kissed me . and we both knew that that was gon na be the beginning of something grand . it 's far -- it 's far , far from over . just a setback . your family , the legal system , nothing -- nothing will ever keep us apart . eric : do n't ... leave . quinn : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] i -- i 'm never , ever leaving you ever again , sweetheart . never .Summarize.[/INST]wyatt stands there and tells ridge and quinn that ridge does not have the power of attorney . he overheard carter tell him that . so until eric gets better and is in control she is poa . so if anyone is leaving it will now be ridge . liam can not believe that quinn will be out of steffy 's life . she says yeah but it turns out that her dad does not have the poa , it is quinn . she says they are trying to protect the company and her grandfather but carter would not go along with that . wyatt tells ridge that he was not in favor of quinn and eric but he sure is not in favor of ridge lying to get to be the poa when eric left it to quinn . she wants to go up and see eric but again ridge says not a good time , the nurse is up there . she says she can wait ; she now has the rest of her life to be with eric any time she wants . she tells ridge his behavior is understandable but she is not that person from the past anymore . wyatt tells ridge he made a mistake and he only made it worse by trying to steal this poa . quinn says she is not leaving and never will and there is not one thing ridge can do to stop her . liam tells steffy that quinn is a threat to steffy and her grandfather , also ivy and almost anyone else . quinn has to get past the nurse but she tells her to go ask ridge as she is not leaving eric ever again . ridge tells wyatt that he should have stayed out of this . wyatt says he tried but his mom has changed . ridge says his dad is sick and vulnerable . wyatt says they do not care that there is not a marriage license . he can not believe that steffy also knew about this and he just hopes this will not change their marriage .</s> | 5,620 |

[ applause ] lexie : my name is dr . lexie carver . some of you may know me more officially as the wife of your esteemed mayor -- abraham carver . [ applause ] kate : this is perfect . lexie just started speaking . stefano : abraham carver does not deserve a woman like my daughter by his side . kate : [ chuckles ] that 's exactly what we were saying . lexie : today is important for my family and ultimately for everyone here in salem . it has been a pleasure to stand by my husband 's side these last four years and watch him thrive and grow as salem has thrived and grown around him . [ applause ] stefano : you know , alexandra really is a very good public speaker . ej : oh , yeah , absolutely . it 's a shame she decided to put her cart behind an ass and not a horse . lexie : this bright future , which my husband helped foster , needs more of the same for another four years of growth and progress . and do i know the man for the job . [ laughter and applause ] daniel : i think you need to step back and give jennifer and her daughter just a little space . jack : i do n't care what you think . jennifer : jack . jack : you 're my family , and i 'm not deserting my family . daniel : you already did . jack : i do n't care about some guy who just tries to break up families . jennifer : he did n't . and you 're right -- you do n't have to listen to daniel . but you have to listen to me . i want you to go . jack : jennifer , i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm not going anywhere until we all talk to each other ! jennifer : you stand here and talk to yourself , then , 'cause we are going . jack : what are you looking at ? lexie : now , as your mayor 's wife , i 'm sure you may think i 'm being biased when i say that he is incredible . and , okay , maybe -- maybe i am . but i can objectively tell you that this man was made for this job . he puts his heart and soul into it every day . kate : it 's been a great evening all around , has n't it ? full of surprises . stefano : and many more to come . lexie : just this week , your mayor , along with the hardworking , dedicated salem police department , apprehended the criminal responsible for the brutal attacks against women on the pier . [ applause ] lexie : there has been a precipitous drop in the crime rate during your mayor 's term and an increase ... in job creation , when nationally the country continues to suffer . [ applause ] lexie : and the city 's pension plan is running a surplus , thanks to wise investments made in basic black 's financial services division . thank you , john black . [ applause ] lexie : and thank you , mayor carver . i live with mayor carver . i see how tirelessly he works for you . [ applause ] lexie : he brings his work home every night , and he does it because he knows that his responsibility is to each and every one of you . when i saw the effect of the changes he was making every day , i never felt neglected . i felt pride ... unbounded pride , ladies and gentlemen . [ applause ] lexie : and it goes beyond pride in the man i love and pride in the work he does . it 's become a rallying cry for me . in saying that ... while my own work is very important , well , there are many other skilled doctors in salem . but there is no one like your mayor . so ... i 've reduced my work schedule so that i can work to support him ... my husband , your mayor , in his bid for another four - year term . [ cheers and applause ] kate : did you know she was going to do that ? stefano : i did not . kate : that 's quite a sacrifice . stefano : well , alexandra 's very passionate about this , but she 's due for a rude awakening . ej : when she wakes up , she 's going to be very upset with me . lexie : i do n't stand by just any man , ladies and gentlemen . i stand by this man . [ applause ] john : she loves you a lot , man . abe : well , it 's getting a little embarrassing . john : yeah , well , just enjoy it ... because in a moment 's time , it can ... just turn on a dime . [ cell phone vibrating ] rafe : excuse me a second . i 'll be right back . roman : all right . rafe : yeah , there you are . i can hear you better now . what 's up ? wait . what ? [ chuckles ] you sure about this ? lexie : so , without going on any longer , i 'm sure you all want to hear from this wonderful , dedicated , hardworking man yourselves -- the man i will be voting for in november and the man i will be telling all of you to vote for in november as often as you 'll let me . [ laughter ] lexie : please join me , everyone , in welcoming your current and future mayor of salem -- abraham carver .

sam : it was lonely without you here all night . where 'd you go ? [ scene_break ] jax : claire . well , i am glad you were available . claire : would it have mattered if i were n't ? jax : not one bit . claire : i did n't think so . jax : i have a feeling that you are the woman who will solve all of my problems . claire : oh , i 've heard that before . why do n't you tell me where it hurts ? [ scene_break ] johnny : what are you doing here ? michael : where should i be ? johnny : i do n't know , maybe the courthouse ? big day for you and your family . your father 's being arraigned for my sister 's murder . michael : what if i told you that my father did n't kill claudia ? [ scene_break ] diane : i know that you 're aware that this arraignment is purely a formality , but do yourself a favor and do n't say anything in court that is n't your plea , because the more subtle you are -- what the hell are you thinking ? sonny : what ? what 's wrong ? diane : sonny , go upstairs right now and take your clothes off ! [ scene_break ] epiphany : oh , thank you so very much , dr. scorpio . perhaps i could have the nursing staff come over to your house and cook dinner , or maybe they could pick up your dry cleaning as well . robin : excuse me ? epiphany : like i do n't have anything else other than filing your charts . [ laughs ] lisa : another one sewn up and ready to go . epiphany : hold on just a minute ! epiphany johnson did not go out and get her nursing degree so that she could take care of spoiled doctors who seem to have forgotten their alphabet ! lisa : what did i say ? robin : okay , obviously you 're pissed about something that has nothing to do with me or dr. niles . epiphany : yes , it does , because , see , when you doctors do n't do your filing , then i have to stay overtime and do it . but , hey , i have a life of my own i 'd like to live . so , i have to leave on time so that i can go and get my beyoncé tickets . steve : what 's going on ? epiphany : dr. webber , could you please remind these doctors that nurses are professionals , too , and that it is not our job to take care of doctors , but take care of patients ' needs . it would be really nice if someone would remember that . steve : i 'll send a memo . robin : she wants to leave early so she can get tickets to beyoncé . lisa : is all this because of beyoncé tickets ? 'cause i can hook you up . how 's that for respect ? epiphany : hmph . [ scene_break ] jason : bernie and i had to basically reorganize the whole transport network , and it , you know , took us all night . sam : because of johnny and dante ? jason : yeah , they know too much about the operation . sam : you know , in the past , something like this would have been a declaration of war . jason : you 're definitely right . but i do n't really want to go to war with johnny , especially with sonny in the headlines right now . sam : i do n't understand why he would pick now to go for a power grab . jason : no , it 's not about the power . he wants sonny to hurt for what happened to claudia . sam : really ? but he knows that michael is the one who killed claudia . jason : i know , sam , and that 's exactly what worries me , because johnny hates sonny , he blames sonny for everything that led up to claudia 's death , and he knows the best way to hurt sonny is to expose michael as the killer . sam : jason , maybe there 's a way i can help . [ scene_break ] johnny : be smart , michael . the less you say , the better . michael : you started it . johnny : okay , we are not on the same side here . regardless of how you felt about claudia , she was my sister . michael : my father should not have to take -- johnny : i 'm sorry that you ever had to cross paths with her . you did n't fare too well from that , and i do apologize . but sonny blindsided claudia in a roomful of people that were there to celebrate her . he taunted her with her dead baby . michael : my father had just found out that claudia got me shot . johnny : michael , when are you gon na realize that your father married claudia for the power ? michael : my dad already had the power . johnny : yes , and when he married claudia , he wound up with more power than he ever could have dreamed of . michael : well , claudia got something out of it , too . johnny : she did . claudia did . she got herself a man who would n't spit on her if she was on fire . she got herself a man who gave her a false sense of something real , a false sense of security , a little respect . and then he turned on her . it had to be one of the worst things i ever saw . so i 'm not gon na look the other way . my sister deserves justice . olivia : yeah , i 'm still here . go on . [ scene_break ] jax : all i meant , i have my doubts . but no one is as good as you 're supposed to be . claire : well , you ca n't believe everything you hear . most of the time . jax : well , that 's a feisty attitude you got there . you 're gon na need it . claire : are you trying to intimidate me ? well , i could double my rate if that would reassure you . jax : oh , i do n't think compensation is a problem , for either one of us . claire : well , that depends entirely on what it is you want me to do . [ footsteps approaching ] olivia : hi , boss . jax : hi . olivia : hey . olivia falconeri . operations manager for the metro court hotel . and , uh , you are ? jax : my lunch guest . claire , olivia . olivia , claire . olivia : how 's carly ? jax : she 's great , i 'm assuming . why are you asking me ? olivia : i just noticed that you 're still wearing your wedding ring . i always think that that 's such a positive sign . do n't you agree ? when a man wears a wedding ring even through tough times , it means the marriage is n't over . claire : jax , you never told me you were married . [ scene_break ] diane : really , this ensemble screams `` mob boss . `` sonny : this suit was custom - made for me . do you have an idea how much it cost ? diane : and worth every penny . now , go upstairs and change your shirt , preferably to something in a lighter shade . sonny : uh - huh . diane : do n't give me any of that . yes , you have excellent taste for a mobster . but when it comes to image and fashion , you listen to me . sonny : this is who i am . diane : exactly ! you might as well be wearing a big neon sign that says , `` the godfather is waiting for the jury to come up and kiss his ring . `` and by the way , lose the ring . this is the beginning of a whole new you . sonny : why do n't we just pay off the judge , so that way i can wear whatever i want to wear ? diane : ho ho , if only i could . peter carroll may come off as a good old boy , but he is smart and he 's tough . his verdicts are rarely overturned , and he seems to have issues , shall we say , with organized crime . sonny : get us another judge . diane : if only i could . my hands are tied . if i had my way , you 'd have lori young or gail roberts , someone who might be susceptible , at least , to your charms . but for this trial , we 're gon na have to pray that your dimples work on the jury . sonny : i hope that 's not your entire strategy . diane : you tied my hands , sonny , by insisting that you walk into that courtroom and claim that you killed your wife . [ scene_break ] epiphany : dr. niles , you 're fairly new around here , so you have no idea that i take my music seriously . so do n't play around with me . beyoncé tickets are like gold . lisa : all right , well , i know people , so i will make a call and we 'll have an answer by the end of your shift . epiphany : if you 're playing around with me , i will make sure that you work the bottom of the rotation in o.r . 3 until hell freezes over . steve : ooh . lisa : what happens in o.r . 3 ? robin : it 's cursed . steve : so that 's why surgeons keep canceling . lisa : okay , why did i not know that until now ? patrick : figured what you did n't know would n't hurt you . lisa : i thought you had my back , drake . obviously , it 's every surgeon for himself . steve : better come through , niles , otherwise we 're all on epiphany 's bad side . lisa : oh , ye of little faith . [ laughs ] robin : i really hope she 's not bluffing . patrick : hmm . care to make it interesting ? let 's go 20 bucks lisa comes through with tickets . [ robin scoffs ] patrick : uh - uh - uh . [ scene_break ] alexis : hey . i thought you were at a music class . kristina : oh , canceled . mr. pope had an emergency root canal . so i have the day off . alexis : you know , you 've been working like crazy . why do n't you give yourself a break ? kristina : me ? you 're the workaholic . you have another trial ? who are you defending this time ? [ knock on door ] [ kristina sighs ] alexis : are you expecting anybody ? hi , kiefer , how are you ? kiefer : i 'm good , ms. davis . is , uh , is krissy here ? alexis : uh , she is n't available at the moment , but i will tell her that you stopped by . kiefer : all right , thanks . uh , just ask her to give me a call . alexis : i will . bye - bye . the coast is clear . you know , what 's going on with the two of you ? kristina : nothing . alexis : usually girls your age have to be pried off their boyfriends . kristina : well , you taught me not to be like other girls . alexis : at some point , you are gon na have to see him , even if it 's to break up with him , which is perfectly fine , but whatever the situation is , take care of it head - on . tell kiefer the truth . love you . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] michael : do n't get all righteous . you 're the one who knew that dante was an undercover cop and you never said a word . johnny : what should i have done , michael ? michael : tell someone . i get that you hate dad , but you do n't hate jason or bernie or spinelli . you could have warned one of them . johnny : i handled it in my own way . i made sure dante was going after nobody but your father . michael : and that 's okay with you ? johnny : it is . because sonny deserves what he 's getting . it 's part of the risk of getting involved in this business in the first place . michael : hey , grandpa . can i get the door for you ? mike : yeah , yeah , please . thank you . uh , johnny , could i have a word with you for a minute ? ah , boy . hey , uh , michael , i need a favor , buddy . i 've got two really big cans of stewed tomatoes on the top shelf of the pantry , and , you know , i 'm not good with a ladder right now . all right ? michael : no problem . i got it . mike : thanks , pal . listen , my grandson does n't need any grief from you right now , pal . johnny : your grandson needs to stop being his own worst enemy . mike : now , you just try to remember what it 's like at that age , and you add to that what michael 's been through . johnny : whose fault is that ? mike : you made it very clear that you are no friend of sonny 's or anyone who 's close to him . johnny : no , see , mike , that 's where you got it wrong . i 've made it clear that i despise sonny , but i got nothing but sympathy for michael . see , i know what it 's like to be in his shoes -- manipulated , son of a controlling father . the first sense of real peace i ever had in my life was when my father was thrown in jail for the crimes that he did . i should only wish the same thing for michael . [ mike sighs ] [ scene_break ] claire : i ca n't believe it , jax . you never said anything about a wife . jax : oh , it seemed irrelevant at the time . olivia : [ chuckles ] you 're funny , you guys . if there 's anything else i could fill you in on , since obviously the wedding ring was a little too subtle . claire : subtle like a sledgehammer . not unlike yourself . olivia : subtlety is not really my thing . anyway , um , he may have also neglected to tell you about his two stepsons or his brand - new baby daughter . claire : baby -- baby daughter ? jax : mm - hmm . claire : do you have any pictures ? olivia : i do . would you like them with or without the mother ? jax : is n't there someplace you have to be , work - wise ? olivia : actually , i 'm all finished working , jax . i 'm also finished keeping secrets , of my own and for you . i 've had the wrath of carly up in my face two times now . i do n't ever need to feel that again , so i 'm not gon na go running off to her and tell her about whatever this little thing is that you 've got going on . why would i ? you 've obviously got no intention of saving your marriage , which is a little bit disappointing . i kind of felt that you 'd fight for carly and your family . jax : maybe my tactics are n't as obvious as you would like them to be , but believe me , this is all about saving my marriage . olivia : if you say so . claire : how was i ? jax : i definitely picked the right woman for the job . [ scene_break ] diane : the one area where we did catch a break was the federal prosecutor , everett dawson . sonny : how much did he cost us ? diane : not a thing . he 's just lazy . he looks good , but he 's not an original thinker . he 's got his legal aides and interns prepping his cases for him . so he just preens around the courtroom . but that means he wo n't be dropping any surprises on us during the arraignment . sonny : what surprises do you have planned for the arraignment ? diane : not a thing . i got nothing . i 'm going to try and get the court to delay the trial as long as possible . you will remain free on bail . that 's standard . maybe i can weaken this momentum that the prosecution has going for it . jason : this a bad time ? sonny : uh ... no . diane was leaving . diane : well , i have two requests of you , jason . the first being , stay as far away as you can from the courtroom . i 'm trying my damnedest to keep you off the witness list , but nothing screams guilty more than a mob enforcer taking the fifth . jason : okay . what about the second request ? diane : do n't let your boss leave the house wearing that shirt . sonny : forgive diane . i need you to handle something crucial . [ scene_break ] jax : sonny 's lawyer 's more than competent . claire : diane miller . i read up on her . she has an impressive acquittal rate . jax : well , trust me when i tell you most of those `` not guiltys `` were actually guilty . claire : ms. miller will try to set the pace of the trial from the arraignment . she 'll waive their right to a speedy trial , use delay tactics , and try to put the brakes on the momentum . by the time the case actually goes to trial , the public will have lost interest , evidence will be missing , and witnesses will either develop memory lapses or disappear . jax : well , that 's why you were brought in , to make sure that does n't happen . claire : i 'll convict sonny corinthos . but first , i need to remove one tiny obstacle . [ scene_break ] diane : your pro bono case is down the hall . alexis : i cleared my calendar just for you . diane : pour moi ? to what do i owe this honor ? alexis : well , i went over some of the notes and i 'm a little concerned about some of the details in your preparation , so i thought maybe i could help you out by giving you another perspective . diane : i so appreciate your input , and welcome to my firm . alexis : oh , i 'm not joining the firm ; i 'm just offering my services for this particular trial . diane : but , sweetie , those are n't my terms . alexis : do n't be a pill . diane : sorry . unless you make it official , you are nothing more than an interested bystander , and your seat is back there in the gallery . [ scene_break ] kristina : hi , grandpa . mike : oh , hey , princess . kristina : how are you ? mike : oh , i 'm doing great , really . hey , well , listen i loved the cd that you and michael brought me in the hospital . i did n't realize you knew anything about billie holliday and jimi hendrix . that was a pretty eclectic mix . kristina : i 'm a pretty eclectic girl . my music teacher helped . he 's cool . thank you . mike : well , just for that , free pie . kristina : oh , you always give me free pie . i have a free afternoon . i thought you might need some help . mike : oh , no . you 're a sweetheart , honey , but i 'm managing just fine . you know , unless you need a little distraction because you do n't want to think about your brother dante or the fact that your father 's being arraigned today . kristina : i think it 's called karma . you know , you ca n't always get away with doing bad things forever . mike : so ... you think your dad deserves what he gets ? kristina : i think my dad should have to face the consequences . mike : you know , i was just remembering ... when sonny used to feel that way about me . and it took him years , but he finally figured out that despite my failing him as a father , i still loved him . and i hope it does n't take you as long . okay . kristina : thanks , grandpa . okay , bye . mike : okay . kiefer : hey . i tried to come see you today . i miss you so much . are you ever gon na forgive me ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : thanks for coming . johnny : yeah . i ca n't imagine what we possibly have to meet about , but next time , what do you say we do this on neutral territory , huh ? sam : yeah , look , this is n't an ambush . i 'm here by myself . um , can i get you a soda or a beer or anything ? johnny : how about we just cut to the chase , huh ? sam : all right , fine . look , i never , uh , had much to do with your sister . i did n't know her all that well , which means i 'm pretty objective about this whole situation . johnny : you 're jason morgan 's girlfriend . i 'd say that hardly defines objective . sam : well , i know that looking for trouble is n't gon na give you what you want . johnny : okay , if you 've called me here to tell me to back down , you 're wasting your time . sam : what if i called you here to tell you that jason does n't want to have to kill you ? johnny : i 'd agree with you . sam : okay , well , pushing him and forcing his hand , threatening his family , he 's gon na have to . johnny : okay . my problem is not with jason . i actually respect him . we work well together and have each other 's backs . my problem is that jason works for sonny , and sonny 's got ta go . sam : for what ? your sister is n't gon na miraculously be brought back to life . she is dead , johnny . she threw her life away . and if you insist on revenge , you 're going to be doing the same exact thing .

[ gunshots ] molly : oh , my god ! anna : everybody stay calm . do we know where the shots came from ? officer : we think downstairs -- the holding cells . anna : okay . molly : that 's where my dad is . did something happen to ric ? anna : detective west was in process of transferring mr. lansing to his arraignment . do we know if they were involved ? officer : i do n't . molly : well , find out ! anna : the station 's in lockdown . get s.w.a.t . downstairs . officer : copy that . elizabeth : anna , please make sure ric is okay . anna : yes , but first things first . please come with me . all right . you all wait in here until you get the all - clear . molly : i just want to see my dad . elizabeth : molly , it 's gon na be okay . molly : is it ? diane : i 'll make sure nobody leaves . anna : all right . so , lock the door after i leave until we have the gunman apprehended . diane : right . molly : elizabeth , i 'm scared . elizabeth : i know , honey . me too . molly : what if someone tried to kill my dad because they think he really was some big mob boss ? diane : molly , there are any number of reasons that that gun could have been fired . the important thing for us to do is just remain calm . elizabeth : ric said he 's being framed . diane : he did ? elizabeth : what if the person who 's setting him up got to him and shot him to keep him quiet ? nina : oh . sam . right -- the mother of that little boy , your patient . silas : danny . nina : yeah . so , that 's why you were at the birthday party -- not just because you were his doctor but becau -- oh , i get it . and that 's why your nephew , rafe , was going to spend time with her , because i thought that was kind of random . silas : actually , rafe and sam 's relationship took place long before ... we were ... nina : right . oh , this makes sense . i -- silas : i wanted to tell you , i tried to tell you , but we kept getting interrupted . nina : yeah . [ voice breaking ] so , you and sam . oh , i 'm such an idiot . i 'm an idiot . rafe : i do n't get it . i thought the baby was fine . sam : he -- he was . rafe : i mean , he was out of the woods . i heard he was okay . sam : i know . i heard all that , too . rafe : so , then , what happen ? sam : his organs were n't developed enough , and when they started to fail , gabriel could n't fight it . rafe : gabriel ? sam : yeah . patrick and sabrina finally gave him a name -- gabriel . i actually -- i - i looked it up . it means ... `` god is my strength . `` rafe : i - i do n't believe this . sam : i know . the thought of them losing their little boy -- it breaks my heart . they 're actually burying him tomorrow . patrick : sabrina , are you okay ? sabrina : would you at least just close your eyes , patrick , please ? please , patrick , close your eyes . please ... close -- patrick : okay . sabrina : thank you . oh , my god . i know i should n't have been trying on the wedding dress again , but i just wanted to make sure it was perfect , you know , and -- and it is , or i guess it was , until now . just hold on a second . [ sighs ] geez . okay . you can open your eyes . do you think i just jinxed our wedding ? patrick : no . sabrina : do you think , like , in that one moment that you saw me that we just tempted fate , you know ? patrick : sabrina , i do n't believe that 's the way it works . sabrina : because we ca n't have any more bad luck , patrick , not when we 're about to be so happy . levi : warrior 2 is a basic pose you mastered months ago . what 's going on ? maxie : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm used to doing this in a studio or at least on a hardwood floor . the ground out here is really uneven . levi : not as uneven as it was in machu picchu . you 're not focused . maxie : i 'm sorry . levi : is it because of your little girl ? maxie : her name is georgie . levi : you made peace with the fact that you lost her , and then you suddenly decided to fight with nathan by your side . now your center 's out of whack . you lost your chi . maxie : i 'll find it . levi : when ? maxie : when i 'm not so off . levi : has it occurred to you that you 're off perhaps because you were dishonest with a judge ? maxie : can we please not do this again ? levi : i 'm just saying that perhaps i was right when i advised you to let it go . maxie : are you kidding ? i was relieved and ecstatic when that judge agreed to reschedule the hearing . i could have a second chance with my daughter , and i 'm not gon na waste that . levi : fine . so , if it 's not that , then , what is it ? what 's wrong ? maxie : i just keep thinking about how i might get to see my baby again ... but patrick wo n't get to see his . sabrina : i know . i know , i know , i know that this whole `` bad luck `` thing is just old wives ' tale , but we 've just been through so much to get here , patrick , to our wedding , and i just -- i do n't want to chance it , you know ? patrick : can you just give me a minute , please ? sabrina : so , maybe i should wear something else . do you think that i should , just to , like , make sure that nothing bad ever happens to us ever again ? patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : you know ? because i have just -- i 've never been happier than i am right now , patrick , and i just -- i do n't want that feeling to end . silas : you are so far from being an idiot . nina : well , then , delusional . i mean , two decades have gone by , and of course you should be all about me . i mean , what was i thinking ? you 're a handsome , successful doctor , and sam -- oh , she is great . she 's great . she 's so beautiful . she is beautiful and strong , and ... i 'm mortified . silas : you have to stop talking this way . nina : no . and i come wheeling in , all wifey , and she -- she must have just been , like , `` as if . `` what -- nobody says , `` as if `` anymore ? silas : i just have n't heard it in a long time . nina : i 'm stuck in the ' 90s ! it 's a nightmare ! and then i kissed you . silas : it 's okay . nina : what was i thinking ? i mean , you were already in a relationship when my mom put me ... what did i expect ? silas : this is nothing like that . ava was a terrible mistake . nina : i think i was just holding on to something , you know ? i just needed something to pull me through so i could recuperate . silas : i 'm glad . nina : and then you did n't file for divorce , and so i let my fantasies just run away with me , and i just , you know , thought that we could pick up where we left off . stupid of me , because what would you be doing -- just , you know , twiddling your thumbs , waiting for me to wake up ? silas : i 'm sorry . nina : do n't be sorry . what , for moving on ? for falling in ... do you love her ? do you love sam ? sam : what 's really sad is that this should have never happened . it 's not like sabrina went into premature labor on her own . this happened because of the accident . so , whoever ran her off the road -- that coward is responsible for a child 's death . sabrina : you know what ? maybe it 's a little drastic , but i - i do n't even care because i will not have any bad luck on my wedding day . so , i 'm just gon na wear the dress that felix gave me . and do n't you dare try to peek . patrick : i wo n't . sabrina : okay . do you want a hint ? it 's kind of weird . not -- i mean , it 's nice , but it 's kind of strange for a wedding because , well , it 's black . is n't that bizarre ? why would felix bring me a black dress ? levi : who 's patrick ? maxie : practically my brother - in - law . he was married to robin . levi : your cousin ? maxie : but we grew up more like sisters . i have explained this to you . levi : right . maxie : [ sighs ] patrick is hugely important to me -- not that i 've honored that at all since i 've been back . i have n't even seen him . levi : you could have stopped by . maxie : with his son in the middle of a medical crisis ? patrick was going through hell . and i kept saying to myself , `` oh , i 'll call him tomorrow `` or `` i 'll stop by the hospital later , `` but i never did . and now i ca n't because the baby died . levi : hang on . is this the little kid they were talking about at the nurses ' ball -- the preemie ? maxie : he did n't make it , levi . i mean , can you even imagine what patrick and sabrina must be going through right now ? levi : that 's ... rough . maxie : the whole thing is just so awful . i mean , that -- that poor little boy was n't even given a chance . how incredibly unfair that his little life was ripped away from him like that . levi : it 's not unfair at all . patrick : i know you 're really busy , but could we just talk for a second , please , sabrina ? sabrina : patrick , we 've got our whole lives to talk , but right now there 's no time because i had to get through all of the thank - you notes for all of the presents , our wedding presents , and then i 've got to get organized with everything , and now i 've got a decision to make , you know ? i mean , look , felix bought me this dress , which was really sweet of him . i mean , he was afraid that my mother 's wedding dress was n't gon na make it in time , but it did because my cousin juan brought it all the way from puerto rico . patrick : yes , i remember that part . listen -- sabrina : and so the question is , what do i do , right ? because on the one hand , i want to get rid of the bad karma , but do i really want to marry you wearing black , you know ? no , no . i told you no peeking . patrick : sabrina -- sabrina : although maybe it does n't count if i 'm actually -- patrick : sabrina , stop . listen to me , please , for a second . felix did n't buy you the black dress for the wedding . he bought you the black dress for e funeral . molly : why is n't anyone telling us anything ? diane : you know how the police are , honey . doing everything by the book takes time . molly : it 's pretty simple . either my dad 's okay or he 's not . elizabeth : the thought crossed your mind , too , did n't it -- someone might have gotten to ric ? diane : here 's a thought . why do n't we not try to scare each other with these baseless conspiracy theories ? molly : who says it 's baseless ? someone was out to get my father , and we all know it . diane : yes , but you heard what anna said . your father was with detective west at the time . he was under protection . molly : not from some ambush . this guy could have caught them completely off guard . elizabeth : look , molly , i 'm sorry . diane is right . let 's not jump to conclusions . molly : i just do n't think it 's that big of a jump . [ sighs ] why has n't anyone filled us in ? it -- it 's bad . i can feel it . diane : look , look , i know waiting is torture , but right now , it 's the best thing for us . molly : forget this . i need to know if my dad is okay . diane : no . elizabeth : honey , let 's let -- anna . what happened ? molly : is it my father ? nina : this relationship with sam -- is it serious ? silas : i need you to understand something . when i lost you to that coma ... i hated myself for what i had done to you . nina : you did n't do anything . silas : i was unfaithful , and you knew and i hurt you . i never got a chance to tell you i was sorry or that i love you , and i - i did . i loved you . even when i was with ava , i loved you every moment . nina : i believe you . silas : then afterwards ... i ended it with ava immediately , and i just -- i sort of shut down . i do n't know if that 's the right word . maybe it was `` turned off . `` i just -- if i ever met anybody , i just would n't let them get close to me . you know , i -- if i became attracted , i found myself just pushing them away because i would turn boorish or rude . nina : turn ? [ chuckles ] i 'm kidding . silas : no , you 're not . nina : no , i 'm not . silas : you should see the way i treated sam in the beginning . nina : when you were helping her son , right ? you were treating him . but -- wow -- that was a year ago . that 's a long time . silas : first , it was all about danny , you know -- doing whatever we could to keep him alive , give him a chance to survive . it was kind of a miracle , really . and then after a time , i started ... to feel something . and then it just hit me one day that ... it was true . i felt something for this person . nina : wow . well , i 'm really happy for you . silas : you do n't have to say that . nina : i mean it . silas : you probably do , do n't you ? sam was the first woman in 20 years that ... i let myself open up to . and even then ... i would n't let her all the way in . it was n't until -- it was n't until your mother told me that you were gone that i allowed my -- i allowed myself to fully commit and admit that i felt something for her . nina : which is love . silas : yes . i love her . rafe : i - i just ca n't believe the baby 's dead . sam : i know . it 's terrible . but i have to admit , your -- your reaction is a little -- are you okay ? [ tires screech ] sam : hey , rafe ... what is it ? sabrina : felix bought me this dress for a funeral ? why ? who died ? nobody died . patrick : sabrina , you need to listen to me . sabrina : no , there ca n't be a funeral , because tomorrow 's our wedding day , you know ? patrick : we 're not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : and our wedding has to be perfect . it 's got to be perfect because i 've done everything right , have n't i ? i mean , i even wrote all these thank- you notes for all of the beautiful presents that everybody sent us so that i would n't have to think about it on our honeymoon . i mean , patrick , look at all of this . patrick : we 're not going on a honeymoon . sabrina , please . sabrina : our friends are amazing . i mean [ chuckles ] look at all these beautiful presents they got us . maxie : a baby died , levi . how can you think that 's anything but unfair ? levi : i think it 's incredibly sad . maxie : right . levi : but not unfair . clearly , that child was n't meant to spend any more time on the earth than he did . maxie : so , what -- that makes it okay ? levi : no , it makes it his journey . maxie : oh , my god . levi : his just happened to be shorter than most . maxie : do you hear yourself right now ? patrick lost a child -- one that he loved with all of his heart . levi , parents are not supposed to outlive their children . levi : they are if that 's how the universe planned it . clearly , that child died for a reason . maxie : what reason could there possibly be for taking an innocent child 's life ? levi : i do n't know . maxie : exactly . levi : and you do n't , either . we both just need to accept that there is something larger at work here . maxie : [ scoffs ] that is the biggest crock i have ever heard in my life . sabrina : it 's a shame people sent so many flowers . we 're not gon na be here to enjoy them . it 's not like we can just pack them in our luggage or anything . patrick : sabrina , please look at me . listen ... sabrina : patrick ... please tell me that tomorrow 's gon na be everything i hope it 'll be . patrick : i ca n't say that . sabrina : why not ? i 've worked so hard to make this the happiest day for us , patrick . is this because of the funeral ? patrick : yes . sabrina : i do n't -- i do n't understand . nobody died . patrick : yes . someone did . sabrina : okay . who ? patrick : our baby , sabrina . our son died . molly : can you please just tell us if those gunshots had to do with my father ? anna : yes . unfortunately , they did . elizabeth : what does that mean ? anna : that detective west was opening ric 's sell and ric grabbed his firearm . molly : what ? ! anna : and there was a struggle , and ... shots were fired . diane : are you saying that ric shot detective west ? anna : no . it was the other way around . molly : i told you ! i told you he 'd been hurt ! elizabeth : but he 's gon na be okay , right ? i 'm sure the ambulance is here . 'cause if not , i can help him . anna : no . you ca n't help . elizabeth : is he already at the hospital ? anna : no . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : what ? what ? anna : it was -- it was a fatal wound ... and ric is dead . silas : want to hear something crazy ? nina : i do n't know . do i ? silas : the first time i told sam how i really felt about her was yesterday . nina : wow . you 're kidding . silas : [ chuckles ] hand to god . nina : then i show up . silas : hey ... make no mistake . you being here awake and talking to me -- that is a good thing . nina : i do n't know if sam would agree with that . silas : yes , she would . just ask her . nina : [ sighs ] i should have called you the moment i woke up . instead , i waited for -- for what ? for you to officially get over me . that 's a great job , nina . good job . silas : wait a minute . you 're not actually blaming yourself for any of this , are you ? nina : then i sent you those flowers . i mean , of course you would n't know who they were from . of -- of course . and -- silas : hey , none of this is your fault . that honor goes to your mother . nina : my mother is evil . silas : yeah , pretty much . nina : she made me lose my baby . she made me lose you . silas : i never wanted this . nina : i know you did n't . silas : all those years i prayed for you to wake up . but now ... nina : it 's too late . silas : we missed our chance . nina : you always -- silas : we missed our chance . nina : i think you -- you mean to say i missed my chance . silas : no . i 'm sorry . nina : me too . me too . well , there 's only one thing to do now . i need to get my stuff and get out of your way . sam : do n't get me wrong . i understand that this is upsetting -- hugely upsetting -- but you barely even know patrick and sabrina . it seems like you 're taking this really hard . rafe : i just feel so bad . i mean , as a kid , it was just me and my mom . sometimes she went to dark places . sam : yeah . i remember that . rafe : she was always at her best whenever babies were around . it 's like they brought out this light in her . i do n't -- i do n't know . sam : what ? i think it 's safe to say she 's passed that on to you . rafe : i was crazy about danny when i first met him . sam : the feeling was mutual , you know . rafe : maybe it 's for the best . so much hope and innocence -- i mean , life is just one big possibility , so for that kid to just -- just die -- it gets to me . sam : i know . look , it gets to me , too . your compassion is really sweet . rafe : i just wish there was something i could do to make it better or different . sam : if only we could go back , right ? rafe : yeah . i 'd give anything . sam : me too . but we ca n't . and just so you know , i have made it my mission to find the person responsible for gabriel 's death . sabrina : what are you talking about ? we do n't have a son . patrick : yes , we do , sabrina . sabrina : i mean , obviously , we want children , you know ? and i ca n't wait to give emma a little brother or sister . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : so , if you want to start trying right away , i 'm all for it . patrick : ... please , just listen to me . please listen . sabrina : patrick , i would listen to you if you were making any sense right now . patrick : we are not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : of course we 're getting married tomorrow . patrick : no , we 're not . that was months ago , okay ? do you remember ? think back . robin showed up at the church right when we were about to finish our vows . sabrina : patrick , that 's not possible . robin 's dead . patrick : no , she 's not . sabrina ... sabrina : she 's the one who died . patrick , is tomorrow bringing all of that up for you ? patrick : robin is alive , sabrina . e interrupted us at the church , and that 's why we did n't get married . sabrina : that 's -- that 's not possible . patrick : sabrina , i went back to robin . and you discovered that you were pregnant with our baby . do you remember ? patrick : you just -- you have to tell me the truth , okay ? are you pregnant ? sabrina : i am . i 'm pregnant . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i - i -- patrick : sabrina , it was our baby , our son . we were so excited , and then there was a car accident . patrick : what 's this guy doing ? he 's in our -- patrick : sabrina , the trauma put you into premature labor , and the baby -- he came , but he was way too early . sabrina : no . no . [ chuckles ] sabrina : aaaaaah ! patrick : good , good , good , good , good . sabrina : [ grunts ] sabrina : no . patrick : hey , we did everything we could . we loved him with all our hearts , but he was just -- he was too small and he was too weak , and he did n't make it . do you remember ? sabrina : no ! no ! i do n't remember because it never happened , patrick ! you 're -- you 're lying to me ! levi : since when do you think my beliefs are a crock ? maxie : since patrick 's baby died . why does everything have to be about a journey or a reason or the universe ? levi : because that 's the way it is . maxie : how do you know ? why ca n't some things just be senseless , like patrick 's baby died and it 's not fair ? end of story . levi : i disagree . maxie : so , what -- you think it was written in the stars that some innocent little boy just had to stop breathing ? levi : yes . maxie : well , then , that 's one messed - up universe . you think that it 's someone 's plan to bring a baby into this world only to have it snatched away ? that 's wrong . levi : not up to you to decide . maxie : actually , it is , because i can have my own opinion , and my opinion is that this sucks . and i or anyone else does not have to accept that there 's some greater good at work here . in fact , i do n't accept it . levi : seriously , maxie , what 's going on ? this does n't sound anything like you . maxie : really ? who does it sound like ? levi : honestly ? nathan . maxie : [ sighs ] anna : we took a brief statement from detective west . diane : why brief ? anna : because there 's a lot going on , diane . there 'll be a full investigation in due course . molly : what did he say ? elizabeth : how did this happen ? anna : detective west said that ric attempted to grab his firearm and there was a struggle and it became heated , and while they were grappling for control of the firearm , it went off . elizabeth : and so everyone just stood around while he bled out ? anna : no . there was pressure applied to the wound , but when the paramedics got here , ric was already gone . molly : no . this is insane . i just saw him . anna : you have my sincerest condolences . molly : tell her , elizabeth ! elizabeth : it does n't make any sense . ric would never grab a cop 's gun . it 's not like him . anna : i do n't want to discuss this in front of his daughter . but let 's just say it 's consistent with prior incidents . molly : i need to see him . diane : no . no . honey , that 's not wise . molly : and when i do , he will tell me this is all a mistake . elizabeth : molly . hey , mo -- diane : hey . hey . if my client is actually dead , you 're gon na have one hell of a lawsuit on your hands . anna : your client has a history of violence , and he tried to steal an officer 's gun . molly : is that him ? is that my father ? dad , please . [ crying ] daddy , why ? diane : come here . shh , shh , shh . come here . molly : [ sobbing ] elizabeth : what is wrong with you ? you 're the one with the badge ! you did n't have to shoot him ! you killed an innocent man ! anna : that 's enough . detective west , you 're on administrative leave until notified . nathan : yes , commissioner . anna : effective immediately . molly : [ sobbing continues ] daddy , please come back ! [ sobbing ] anna : i 'm very sorry for your loss . molly : [ sobbing continues ] levi : you do n't see it ? maxie : see what ? levi : you 're soaking up nathan 's reactionary ideas . maxie : because , god forbid , i might actually be thinking for myself ? levi : it 's true . it 's true . he 's all emotion , no reason , and now you 're sounding exactly like him . maxie : well , before , i was sounding exactly like you . levi : is that so bad ? maxie , you 'd evolved so much . you started to learn to accept , to be at peace , to grasp the larger picture . nathan 's just dragging you down . maxie : what , are you leaving ? levi : i 'm going to help with dinner at the shelter . see you at home . nina : you need to get on with your life , and i need to find myself a new one , but , clearly , you 'll be wanting a divorce . silas : nina , what do you say we slow down and we take this one step at a time ? nina : oh , no . let 's just take the bandage off all at once , you know ? it 's better that way . do you have a phone that actually plugs into the wall ? silas : who you gon na call ? nina : j. i 'll stay with j . silas : does he even have the room ? nina : um ... i do n't know . he 'll make the room . he may be a grown man , but he 's the sweet boy that he always was . silas : it 's a very small apartment . two roommates -- i 've been there . nina : okay . well , you know , um ... unfortunately , i do n't have the money to upgrade , thanks to mommy dearest , and he 's a cop . that 's just the way it goes . i guess i 'll get to know my roommates really , really well . silas : nina , slow down . nina : what ? i mean , it 's an adventure . you know i 'm always up for an adventure . you know me . ah . okay . here . here we go . this is -- can you -- can you explain how this works ? can you tell me how this works ? silas : no . nina : no , i ca n't use your phone ? silas : no , you 're not calling your brother . you can stay here with me . sam : i told you i went to see patrick earlier today . rafe : how 's he doing ? sam : not good . we talked about a lot of stuff , and we finally got around to talking about the accident . it does n't seem like the police have any leads , so since i 'm a p.i . and patrick is my friend , i offered to hunt down the person who 's responsible for gabriel 's death . i figured it 's the least i could do to help . rafe : you do n't think someone did it on purpose , do you ? sam : i have -- i have no idea . but whether they did or did n't , whoever it was -- they did n't stop . they did n't call for help or to see if anyone was hurt . i mean , who does that ? they just kept on driving . sabrina : why are you lying to me about something so awful ? patrick : sabrina , i know that this hurts . sabrina : no , patrick . it does n't hurt because none of that ever happened . patrick : this hurts more than anything has ever hurt before , and i 'm right there with you . we ca n't just forget what happened , sabrina . we have to admit ... what has happened . we had a son . sabrina : what ? stop , patrick . would you stop saying that ? patrick : we named him gabriel , after your mother . patrick : you know , it 's funny . he looks like a gabriel . sabrina : he does , does n't he ? patrick : he was too small . he was -- he was too weak . they told us that it was the end , and we had him baptized . sabrina : patrick , you 're not even religious . patrick : we had to say goodbye , sabrina . sabrina : goodbye , my sweet gabriel . sabrina : goodbye ? patrick : you listened to his heartbeat . sabrina : [ whimpers ] patrick : felix brought you your mom 's stethoscope , and you listened to his heartbeat , and you held him ... sabrina : [ sobbing ] patrick : ... and you listened to his last breath . sabrina : no ! no ! sabrina : no ! no ! no ! no ! no ! patrick : come here . shh . shh . sabrina : [ sobbing ] oh , no !

[ sighs ] geez . okay . you can open your eyes . do you think i just jinxed our wedding ? patrick : no . sabrina : do you think , like , in that one moment that you saw me that we just tempted fate , you know ? patrick : sabrina , i do n't believe that 's the way it works . sabrina : because we ca n't have any more bad luck , patrick , not when we 're about to be so happy . levi : warrior 2 is a basic pose you mastered months ago . what 's going on ? maxie : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm used to doing this in a studio or at least on a hardwood floor . the ground out here is really uneven . levi : not as uneven as it was in machu picchu . you 're not focused . maxie : i 'm sorry . levi : is it because of your little girl ? maxie : her name is georgie . levi : you made peace with the fact that you lost her , and then you suddenly decided to fight with nathan by your side . now your center 's out of whack . you lost your chi . maxie : i 'll find it . levi : when ? maxie : when i 'm not so off . levi : has it occurred to you that you 're off perhaps because you were dishonest with a judge ? maxie : can we please not do this again ? levi : i 'm just saying that perhaps i was right when i advised you to let it go . maxie : are you kidding ? i was relieved and ecstatic when that judge agreed to reschedule the hearing . i could have a second chance with my daughter , and i 'm not gon na waste that . levi : fine . so , if it 's not that , then , what is it ? what 's wrong ? maxie : i just keep thinking about how i might get to see my baby again ... but patrick wo n't get to see his . sabrina : i know . i know , i know , i know that this whole `` bad luck `` thing is just old wives ' tale , but we 've just been through so much to get here , patrick , to our wedding , and i just -- i do n't want to chance it , you know ? patrick : can you just give me a minute , please ? sabrina : so , maybe i should wear something else . do you think that i should , just to , like , make sure that nothing bad ever happens to us ever again ? patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : you know ? because i have just -- i 've never been happier than i am right now , patrick , and i just -- i do n't want that feeling to end . silas : you are so far from being an idiot . nina : well , then , delusional . i mean , two decades have gone by , and of course you should be all about me . i mean , what was i thinking ? you 're a handsome , successful doctor , and sam -- oh , she is great . she 's great . she 's so beautiful . she is beautiful and strong , and ... i 'm mortified . silas : you have to stop talking this way . nina : no . and i come wheeling in , all wifey , and she -- she must have just been , like , `` as if . `` what -- nobody says , `` as if `` anymore ? silas : i just have n't heard it in a long time . nina : i 'm stuck in the ' 90s ! it 's a nightmare ! and then i kissed you . silas : it 's okay . nina : what was i thinking ? i mean , you were already in a relationship when my mom put me ... what did i expect ? silas : this is nothing like that . ava was a terrible mistake . nina : i think i was just holding on to something , you know ? i just needed something to pull me through so i could recuperate . silas : i 'm glad . nina : and then you did n't file for divorce , and so i let my fantasies just run away with me , and i just , you know , thought that we could pick up where we left off . stupid of me , because what would you be doing -- just , you know , twiddling your thumbs , waiting for me to wake up ? silas : i 'm sorry . nina : do n't be sorry . what , for moving on ? for falling in ... do you love her ? do you love sam ? sam : what 's really sad is that this should have never happened . it 's not like sabrina went into premature labor on her own . this happened because of the accident . so , whoever ran her off the road -- that coward is responsible for a child 's death . sabrina : you know what ? maybe it 's a little drastic , but i - i do n't even care because i will not have any bad luck on my wedding day . so , i 'm just gon na wear the dress that felix gave me . and do n't you dare try to peek . patrick : i wo n't . sabrina : okay . do you want a hint ? it 's kind of weird . not -- i mean , it 's nice , but it 's kind of strange for a wedding because , well , it 's black . is n't that bizarre ? why would felix bring me a black dress ? levi : who 's patrick ? maxie : practically my brother - in - law . he was married to robin . levi : your cousin ? maxie : but we grew up more like sisters . i have explained this to you . levi : right . maxie : [ sighs ] patrick is hugely important to me -- not that i 've honored that at all since i 've been back . i have n't even seen him . levi : you could have stopped by . maxie : with his son in the middle of a medical crisis ? patrick was going through hell . and i kept saying to myself , `` oh , i 'll call him tomorrow `` or `` i 'll stop by the hospital later , `` but i never did . and now i ca n't because the baby died . levi : hang on . is this the little kid they were talking about at the nurses ' ball -- the preemie ? maxie : he did n't make it , levi . i mean , can you even imagine what patrick and sabrina must be going through right now ? levi : that 's ... rough . maxie : the whole thing is just so awful . i mean , that -- that poor little boy was n't even given a chance . how incredibly unfair that his little life was ripped away from him like that . levi : it 's not unfair at all . patrick : i know you 're really busy , but could we just talk for a second , please , sabrina ? sabrina : patrick , we 've got our whole lives to talk , but right now there 's no time because i had to get through all of the thank - you notes for all of the presents , our wedding presents , and then i 've got to get organized with everything , and now i 've got a decision to make , you know ? i mean , look , felix bought me this dress , which was really sweet of him . i mean , he was afraid that my mother 's wedding dress was n't gon na make it in time , but it did because my cousin juan brought it all the way from puerto rico . patrick : yes , i remember that part . listen -- sabrina : and so the question is , what do i do , right ? because on the one hand , i want to get rid of the bad karma , but do i really want to marry you wearing black , you know ? no , no . i told you no peeking . patrick : sabrina -- sabrina : although maybe it does n't count if i 'm actually -- patrick : sabrina , stop . listen to me , please , for a second . felix did n't buy you the black dress for the wedding . he bought you the black dress for e funeral . molly : why is n't anyone telling us anything ? diane : you know how the police are , honey . doing everything by the book takes time . molly : it 's pretty simple . either my dad 's okay or he 's not . elizabeth : the thought crossed your mind , too , did n't it -- someone might have gotten to ric ? diane : here 's a thought . why do n't we not try to scare each other with these baseless conspiracy theories ? molly : who says it 's baseless ? someone was out to get my father , and we all know it . diane : yes , but you heard what anna said . your father was with detective west at the time . he was under protection . molly : not from some ambush . this guy could have caught them completely off guard . elizabeth : look , molly , i 'm sorry . diane is right . let 's not jump to conclusions . molly : i just do n't think it 's that big of a jump . [ sighs ] why has n't anyone filled us in ? it -- it 's bad . i can feel it . diane : look , look , i know waiting is torture , but right now , it 's the best thing for us . molly : forget this . i need to know if my dad is okay . diane : no . elizabeth : honey , let 's let -- anna . what happened ? molly : is it my father ? nina : this relationship with sam -- is it serious ? silas : i need you to understand something . when i lost you to that coma ... i hated myself for what i had done to you . nina : you did n't do anything . silas : i was unfaithful , and you knew and i hurt you . i never got a chance to tell you i was sorry or that i love you , and i - i did . i loved you . even when i was with ava , i loved you every moment . nina : i believe you . silas : then afterwards ... i ended it with ava immediately , and i just -- i sort of shut down . i do n't know if that 's the right word . maybe it was `` turned off . `` i just -- if i ever met anybody , i just would n't let them get close to me . you know , i -- if i became attracted , i found myself just pushing them away because i would turn boorish or rude . nina : turn ? [ chuckles ] i 'm kidding . silas : no , you 're not . nina : no , i 'm not . silas : you should see the way i treated sam in the beginning . nina : when you were helping her son , right ? you were treating him . but -- wow -- that was a year ago . that 's a long time . silas : first , it was all about danny , you know -- doing whatever we could to keep him alive , give him a chance to survive . it was kind of a miracle , really . and then after a time , i started ... to feel something . and then it just hit me one day that ... it was true . i felt something for this person . nina : wow . well , i 'm really happy for you . silas : you do n't have to say that . nina : i mean it . silas : you probably do , do n't you ? sam was the first woman in 20 years that ... i let myself open up to . and even then ... i would n't let her all the way in . it was n't until -- it was n't until your mother told me that you were gone that i allowed my -- i allowed myself to fully commit and admit that i felt something for her . nina : which is love . silas : yes . i love her . rafe : i - i just ca n't believe the baby 's dead . sam : i know . it 's terrible . but i have to admit , your -- your reaction is a little -- are you okay ? [ tires screech ] sam : hey , rafe ... what is it ? sabrina : felix bought me this dress for a funeral ? why ? who died ? nobody died . patrick : sabrina , you need to listen to me . sabrina : no , there ca n't be a funeral , because tomorrow 's our wedding day , you know ? patrick : we 're not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : and our wedding has to be perfect . it 's got to be perfect because i 've done everything right , have n't i ? i mean , i even wrote all these thank- you notes for all of the beautiful presents that everybody sent us so that i would n't have to think about it on our honeymoon . i mean , patrick , look at all of this . patrick : we 're not going on a honeymoon . sabrina , please . sabrina : our friends are amazing . i mean [ chuckles ] look at all these beautiful presents they got us . maxie : a baby died , levi . how can you think that 's anything but unfair ? levi : i think it 's incredibly sad . maxie : right . levi : but not unfair . clearly , that child was n't meant to spend any more time on the earth than he did . maxie : so , what -- that makes it okay ? levi : no , it makes it his journey . maxie : oh , my god . levi : his just happened to be shorter than most . maxie : do you hear yourself right now ? patrick lost a child -- one that he loved with all of his heart . levi , parents are not supposed to outlive their children . levi : they are if that 's how the universe planned it . clearly , that child died for a reason . maxie : what reason could there possibly be for taking an innocent child 's life ? levi : i do n't know . maxie : exactly . levi : and you do n't , either . we both just need to accept that there is something larger at work here . maxie : [ scoffs ] that is the biggest crock i have ever heard in my life . sabrina : it 's a shame people sent so many flowers . we 're not gon na be here to enjoy them . it 's not like we can just pack them in our luggage or anything . patrick : sabrina , please look at me . listen ... sabrina : patrick ... please tell me that tomorrow 's gon na be everything i hope it 'll be . patrick : i ca n't say that . sabrina : why not ? i 've worked so hard to make this the happiest day for us , patrick . is this because of the funeral ? patrick : yes . sabrina : i do n't -- i do n't understand . nobody died . patrick : yes . someone did . sabrina : okay . who ? patrick : our baby , sabrina . our son died . molly : can you please just tell us if those gunshots had to do with my father ? anna : yes . unfortunately , they did . elizabeth : what does that mean ? anna : that detective west was opening ric 's sell and ric grabbed his firearm . molly : what ? ! anna : and there was a struggle , and ... shots were fired . diane : are you saying that ric shot detective west ? anna : no . it was the other way around . molly : i told you ! i told you he 'd been hurt ! elizabeth : but he 's gon na be okay , right ? i 'm sure the ambulance is here . 'cause if not , i can help him . anna : no . you ca n't help . elizabeth : is he already at the hospital ? anna : no . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : what ? what ? anna : it was -- it was a fatal wound ... and ric is dead . silas : want to hear something crazy ? nina : i do n't know . do i ? silas : the first time i told sam how i really felt about her was yesterday . nina : wow . you 're kidding . silas : [ chuckles ] hand to god . nina : then i show up . silas : hey ... make no mistake . you being here awake and talking to me -- that is a good thing . nina : i do n't know if sam would agree with that . silas : yes , she would . just ask her . nina : [ sighs ] i should have called you the moment i woke up . instead , i waited for -- for what ? for you to officially get over me . that 's a great job , nina . good job . silas : wait a minute . you 're not actually blaming yourself for any of this , are you ? nina : then i sent you those flowers . i mean , of course you would n't know who they were from . of -- of course . and -- silas : hey , none of this is your fault . that honor goes to your mother . nina : my mother is evil . silas : yeah , pretty much . nina : she made me lose my baby . she made me lose you . silas : i never wanted this . nina : i know you did n't . silas : all those years i prayed for you to wake up . but now ... nina : it 's too late . silas : we missed our chance . nina : you always -- silas : we missed our chance . nina : i think you -- you mean to say i missed my chance . silas : no . i 'm sorry . nina : me too . me too . well , there 's only one thing to do now . i need to get my stuff and get out of your way . sam : do n't get me wrong . i understand that this is upsetting -- hugely upsetting -- but you barely even know patrick and sabrina . it seems like you 're taking this really hard . rafe : i just feel so bad . i mean , as a kid , it was just me and my mom . sometimes she went to dark places . sam : yeah . i remember that . rafe : she was always at her best whenever babies were around . it 's like they brought out this light in her . i do n't -- i do n't know . sam : what ? i think it 's safe to say she 's passed that on to you . rafe : i was crazy about danny when i first met him . sam : the feeling was mutual , you know . rafe : maybe it 's for the best . so much hope and innocence -- i mean , life is just one big possibility , so for that kid to just -- just die -- it gets to me . sam : i know . look , it gets to me , too . your compassion is really sweet . rafe : i just wish there was something i could do to make it better or different . sam : if only we could go back , right ? rafe : yeah . i 'd give anything . sam : me too . but we ca n't . and just so you know , i have made it my mission to find the person responsible for gabriel 's death . sabrina : what are you talking about ? we do n't have a son . patrick : yes , we do , sabrina . sabrina : i mean , obviously , we want children , you know ? and i ca n't wait to give emma a little brother or sister . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : so , if you want to start trying right away , i 'm all for it . patrick : ... please , just listen to me . please listen . sabrina : patrick , i would listen to you if you were making any sense right now . patrick : we are not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : of course we 're getting married tomorrow . patrick : no , we 're not . that was months ago , okay ? do you remember ? think back . robin showed up at the church right when we were about to finish our vows . sabrina : patrick , that 's not possible . robin 's dead . patrick : no , she 's not . sabrina ... sabrina : she 's the one who died . patrick , is tomorrow bringing all of that up for you ? patrick : robin is alive , sabrina . e interrupted us at the church , and that 's why we did n't get married . sabrina : that 's -- that 's not possible . patrick : sabrina , i went back to robin . and you discovered that you were pregnant with our baby . do you remember ? patrick : you just -- you have to tell me the truth , okay ? are you pregnant ? sabrina : i am . i 'm pregnant . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i - i -- patrick : sabrina , it was our baby , our son . we were so excited , and then there was a car accident . patrick : what 's this guy doing ? he 's in our -- patrick : sabrina , the trauma put you into premature labor , and the baby -- he came , but he was way too early . sabrina : no . no .

[ scene_break ] sonny : they need a sit - down , we 'll fly 'em out . bernie : okay . sonny : okay . but i 'm thinkin ' there could be another way to turn this around , get rid of johnny without goin ' to war . bernie : how ? sonny : well ... bernie : he ca n't be bought . listen . johnny does n't want money . he hates you , and no amount of money is gon na change that . kristina : sorry . i thought you were alone . sonny : that 's okay , sweetheart . come on in . mr. abrams was just leaving . kristina : why are n't you meeting with diane instead ? coming up with ways to get michael out of prison ? bernie : see ya . sonny : kristina , you need to be just a little more polite . kristina : you said you were doing everything in your power to get michael out . sonny : i think of michael every minute of every day , and i got jason in there to protect him . kristina : and if jason gets killed , then what ? sonny : i 'm workin ' on it , kristina . kristina : how , exactly ? give me something i can hold on to , because michael was never supposed to go to prison , but now he 's there , and jason is with him to protect him , which means you 're not expecting michael to go free anytime soon . sonny : sweetheart , you 're gon na have to trust me . okay ? kristina : but , dad , i do n't . [ scene_break ] carly : olivia and johnny are n't known for their even tempers . i 'm sure dante will wan na know that his mother needs his love and support . brook lynn : i will call dante when this reaches critical mass . would n't i love to be there for johnny . carly : you have 50,000 reasons to be there for dante . [ scene_break ] johnny : heck , we could play this your way , olivia , no strings attached , no future plans , but what i did not agree to was being your booty call while you chase after sonny . olivia : shh . you know damn well you 're not my booty call . i love you . johnny : right . you love me , as in while you chase some other guy , you come over , you bang me , and , whoops , forget to tell me about your dinner date . olivia : sonny is not some other guy . he 's dante 's father . so when he needs to talk to me about our kid , i 've got ta be able to meet him on some level . johnny : that 's fine . you just tell yourself whatever lies make you sleep better at night , all right ? i ai n't listenin ' . singer : you made this time to me , think we 've got a chemistry , well , you know ... [ scene_break ] claire : i still ca n't believe what happened last night at sonny 's house with johnny provoking sonny . with jason out of the picture , it 's like all the mobsters have been let out loose . dante : yeah . has all the makings of a full - scale war . claire : which , when you think about it , does n't have to be a bad thing . not that i wan na see bloodshed , but if we time this right , we could come up with something to convict sonny . dante : well , look . i mean , the only thing john zacchara cares about is revenge for his sister 's death , and if he keeps pushing sonny , sonny 's gon na push back . claire : yeah , and you can bust sonny for attempted murder . dante : attempted ? claire : yes . i mean , think about it . you said it yourself . johnny is asking for it , and if sonny , we can catch him before he turns lethal -- racketeering , extortion , conspiracy to commit murder -- the possibilities are endless . dante : so sonny used to call all the shots . jason did the dirty work , but now with jason in lockup , he 's got no one he trusts to fill that role . so if sonny wants john zacchara dead , he 's got ta do it himself . we might finally catch sonny corinthos red - handed . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right , listen . i know you 're upset about what happened to michael , that he 's in prison , but there 's more to it . you been mad at me for a long time , and i know that i was n't there for you growing up , when you were -- kristina : if is this where you blame mom again , do n't . i understand now that she was trying to protect me . i used to be jealous of how much time michael got to spend with you . and -- but now i know that i was the lucky one . sonny : your mom did the best she could , you know , what she thought was right . but you will always be my daughter , and i want you to know who i am , not the lies that johnny and everybody else says about me . kristina : okay , dad . who are you ? sonny : who am i ? i like swimming . i like to go out to the water . i like to go to , you know , my island . i 'm a pretty good cook . i like to be in the kitchen with all my ingredients . maybe i could teach you how to cook . what do you think ? kristina : see , i hate when you do this . you build me up for some big father- daughter bond that 's never going to happen . sonny : what do you want from me , sweetheart ? kristina : i wan na know that michael will be okay , but you ca n't tell me that . i 'm scared of what prison will do to my brother . and it all started when you blew up at claudia . it was awful . sonny : and i 'm sorry about that , but you got ta understand something . that night , i had just found out that claudia got michael shot and put into a coma . i lost it , sweetheart . kristina : i hated claudia for what she did to michael . i guess the difference between you and me is i can hate someone without wanting them dead . sonny : one thing you should know -- and i think you do know this . i love my kids with all my heart . kristina : everyone seems to get hurt around you , especially michael . you always apologize and promise to fix it , but somehow it only gets worse .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : what happened between me and elizabeth was mutual , okay , no matter how much she tries to deny it now . i 'm not saying that she did n't have remorse every time we were together , but she kept coming back . i know that i did n't do anything to discourage it , but ... robin : i remember how tortured you both were while that was going on , and the way that she resents you now , i mean , that 's just proof of how destructive guilt can be . nikolas : yeah . when lucky found out that we were sleeping together and elizabeth realized she was pregnant , she started blaming me for the whole affair , saying that i was manipulative , that it was about lust , not love . i mean , she 's trying to turn me into the bad guy so she can push me out of her life . and , you know , if there was n't a child involved , i could probably accept it , but i 'm not gon na walk away so she can pretend that lucky 's the father . robin : okay , but crowding her right now is n't going to do any good . you have to do what i did with patrick , remember ? i let him come around . i did n't want him to know i was pregnant , because i thought i could do everything by myself . nikolas : well , she 's more fragile than she 'll admit right now . i mean , she 's just now recovering from a breakdown , she 's overwhelmed , and jake and cameron need their mother right now . they deserve it . but again , i 'm not gon na shortchange my child 's life because i 'm the father and lucky is n't . robin : so you 're not gon na back down ? nikolas : no . no , i have a right , an obligation to take care of my child . if that means putting pressure on elizabeth , then so be it .

[ scene_break ] claire : i still ca n't believe what happened last night at sonny 's house with johnny provoking sonny . with jason out of the picture , it 's like all the mobsters have been let out loose . dante : yeah . has all the makings of a full - scale war . claire : which , when you think about it , does n't have to be a bad thing . not that i wan na see bloodshed , but if we time this right , we could come up with something to convict sonny . dante : well , look . i mean , the only thing john zacchara cares about is revenge for his sister 's death , and if he keeps pushing sonny , sonny 's gon na push back . claire : yeah , and you can bust sonny for attempted murder . dante : attempted ? claire : yes . i mean , think about it . you said it yourself . johnny is asking for it , and if sonny , we can catch him before he turns lethal -- racketeering , extortion , conspiracy to commit murder -- the possibilities are endless . dante : so sonny used to call all the shots . jason did the dirty work , but now with jason in lockup , he 's got no one he trusts to fill that role . so if sonny wants john zacchara dead , he 's got ta do it himself . we might finally catch sonny corinthos red - handed . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right , listen . i know you 're upset about what happened to michael , that he 's in prison , but there 's more to it . you been mad at me for a long time , and i know that i was n't there for you growing up , when you were -- kristina : if is this where you blame mom again , do n't . i understand now that she was trying to protect me . i used to be jealous of how much time michael got to spend with you . and -- but now i know that i was the lucky one . sonny : your mom did the best she could , you know , what she thought was right . but you will always be my daughter , and i want you to know who i am , not the lies that johnny and everybody else says about me . kristina : okay , dad . who are you ? sonny : who am i ? i like swimming . i like to go out to the water . i like to go to , you know , my island . i 'm a pretty good cook . i like to be in the kitchen with all my ingredients . maybe i could teach you how to cook . what do you think ? kristina : see , i hate when you do this . you build me up for some big father- daughter bond that 's never going to happen . sonny : what do you want from me , sweetheart ? kristina : i wan na know that michael will be okay , but you ca n't tell me that . i 'm scared of what prison will do to my brother . and it all started when you blew up at claudia . it was awful . sonny : and i 'm sorry about that , but you got ta understand something . that night , i had just found out that claudia got michael shot and put into a coma . i lost it , sweetheart . kristina : i hated claudia for what she did to michael . i guess the difference between you and me is i can hate someone without wanting them dead . sonny : one thing you should know -- and i think you do know this . i love my kids with all my heart . kristina : everyone seems to get hurt around you , especially michael . you always apologize and promise to fix it , but somehow it only gets worse .

so ? kiki : so , well , i - i do n't -- michael : well , uh , we 've gotten out of bed to , you know , answer the door for strangers who bring us food , at least , though . kiki : michael , i do n't have money . i need a job . michael : [ sighs ] okay . well , you -- you got any , uh -- you got any leads ? kiki : i think i know someone who might help -- at least i hope will help . sam : good morning , dr. clay . silas : hi . sam : hi . silas : is danny all right ? sam : yes . he 's perfect . silas : good . sam : thanks to you and derek . right now , he 's with his grandmother monica , being spoiled . silas : how is the former chief - of - staff ? does she realize they have n't replaced her yet ? sam : oh , yeah . she knows . i 'm sure she 's giving danny an earful right now . she 's got a lot of time on her hands . silas : i guess she is n't the only one . what brings you down here ? sam : oh . i 've got a special delivery -- laundered , not pressed . silas : hmm . so , sam 's laundry provides wine and delivery . sam : i - i think there was a kiss in there , too . silas : as if i could forget . alexis : carly ? carly : yeah . alexis : i - i - i came by to check and see if you had a chance to talk to bobbie yet about getting the dna from your brother so i can find out if lucas and sam have the same father . carly : mm , you could 've called for a progress report . why 'd you have to come in person ? alexis : as a courtesy . carly : right . you sure you 're not fishing for information about my date with derek wells ? derek : [ exhales sharply ] [ panting ] franco : you did n't really think you were gon na get away with it so easily , did you ? night short . sam : yeah , just when we were getting to the spin cycle . washing clothes has never been so exciting . silas : just imagine how great the drying will be . sam : so , how 's your patient ? silas : going home today . sam : excellent . i 'm very happy for their family . silas : and since my trusted associate is on call tonight -- sam : ooh . what are you -- are you trying to tell me you have some free time ? silas : it would seem that way . sam : oh . silas : you ? sam : me . silas : mm . you . sam : um , let me see . i 'm gon na have to check my social calendar . i -- um , okay . so , what do you have in mind ? silas : how about a do - over ? sam : do - over . silas : mm . sam : okay . sounds good . i do n't know if i can get danny to throw his sippy cup on your shirt again , but -- silas : damn . then i guess i might have something else in mind . sam : oh , yeah ? like what ? michael : so , you , uh -- you gon na ask your father about a job ? kiki : i 'm hoping that there 'll be a department open at g.h . that 's looking for a college dropout with absolutely no skill . michael : hey , do n't underestimate yourself , okay ? all you need is a chance . kiki : i think being a dad is still a novelty for him , so i 'm hoping that he 'll talk me up , you know ? michael : [ sighs ] i - i wish that i could just , you know , take care of -- kiki : no , no , no , no , no . i know exactly what you 're going to say , and as long as i am staying here , i 'm going to contribute something . i wo n't be a kept woman . michael : [ sighs ] kiki : got it ? michael : yeah , i - i - i just -- uh , i would love to be able to take care of the both of us , you know -- support the both of us . it 's just ... i do n't have access to my trust fund for another few years . kiki : i 'm sorry . trust fund ? michael : [ chuckles ] yeah . someday , i am going to be very rich , yes . but right now , not so much . when tracy took back elq , she kind of had security ban me from the building . kiki : so i 'm just gon na have to support the both of us , huh ? michael : not -- not necessarily . you , um -- you just gave me an idea about who might hire me . sonny : ava and derek wells connected how ? shawn : from what i understand , she 's his art dealer . sonny : that 's it ? shawn : i got it from several other sources , including carly . sonny : what else did carly say ? shawn : she saw ava and derek wells having an intense conversation one night down at pier 52 . sonny : what are they talking about -- watercolors ? shawn : [ chuckles ] yeah . and that 's what carly thinks . now , i have to agree . i mean , i doubt it 's a coincidence that they were spotted right where someone blew up your latest coffee shipment . sonny : or that ava , who has now lured my son into living with her , is hanging out with the same guy who was bad - mouthing me in his newspaper . shawn : well , not just in his newspaper . i ran into wells at kelly 's . oh , yeah . he was practically gloating over your losses . morgan : kiki . [ doorbell rings ] ava : morgan ? morgan : oh . [ clears throat ] you sure get a -- a lot of visitors . ava : yeah . do n't i , though . [ sighs ] diane : good morning . ava : well , there 's a lawyer at my door . should i call one of my own ? diane : oh , i can assure you , that wo n't be necess -- morgan corinthos . morgan : hi , diane . diane : well , i hardly recognized you , morgan . it seems like just yesterday you were a little boy practicing your karate moves . ava : time flies , does n't it ? diane : yes , indeed . indeed . you blink , and someone 's reached the age of consent . ava : i 'm sorry . was there something you needed ? diane : yes , i need to talk to you about franco . franco : very heavy . derek : [ panting ] franco : you must be very strong . derek : [ chuckles ] how 'd you know i was here ? franco : i followed you . derek : mm . alexis : why would you think it would matter to me that you went out on a date with derek ? i mean , obviously , i 'm indebted to the man after everything he did for my grandson , but why would you think it would matter to me what you did ? there 's nothing going on -- carly : the other night , when you realized we were having dinner , you seemed a bit flustered . alexis : well , i was n't . there is absolutely nothing going on between me and derek wells . carly : that 's not what he said . derek : you followed me here . [ chuckles ] are you turning into a problem for me , franco ? franco : ah , it depends . derek : on what ? oh , wait . let me guess . uh ... carly . franco : wow . strong and perceptive . yeah . so , um ... do n't even think ... of seeing carly again . derek : but what if i , uh -- what if i do more than think ? what if i , uh , choose to , uh , spend more time with the delightful ms . jacks ? [ panting ] what are you gon na do ? kill me ? that was interruption - proof in mind ? silas : now , i 'm glad you asked that , be -- kiki : excuse me . silas : hey , look who it is . kiki : sorry . am i interrupting ? alexis : what did derek say about me ? not that it matters at all . carly : he said that you guys got pretty close while danny was sick . alexis : well , we got friendly , i mean like how acquaintances would get friendly when they share a brief struggle together . carly : that 's not the vibe i got from either of you . alexis : even if there were something going on between derek and me , what -- what does it matter to you ? i mean , derek made a point of saying that you asked him out on a date , so , apparently , he 's on your christmas list . carly : he 's hot ! i mean , seriously , have you seen the guy without his shirt on ? alexis : yes , i have . he 's very fit . carly : do you want him ? alexis : no ! carly : [ laughs ] alexis : [ stammers ] why do you care ? you asked him out . carly : the only reason i asked him out was so i could dig up dirt on his relationship with ava jerome . ava : you 've wasted a trip . there 's nothing between me and franco now . diane : oh , yes , there is . silas : it 's nice to see you . kiki : yeah , you , too -- both of you . i was very , very happy that danny 's better . sam : yes , he is . yes , uh , thanks to his -- his donor and your dad , of course . oh . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . it 's probably too soon . silas : no , it 's fine . it 's okay . kiki : it -- it is a little weird , though . silas : yeah . kiki : right ? silas : yeah , uh -- look , i 've been meaning to call you . i - i wanted to call you and apologize for literally running out of your wedding reception . kiki : o - oh . no . believe me , that 's okay . silas : well , look . uh , i hope it was a - a wonderful start to a - a - a beautiful married life with , uh , morgan . kiki : uh , no . it actually ended up being the end of my married life with morgan . sam : what ? what happened ? silas : he do something to you ? what happened ? kiki : long story short , morgan and i are over . i 'm living with my brother - in- law , and ... well , my husband ended up in bed with my mother . diane : franco has a new collection , and i am representing him . ava : well , good for you . diane : no , good for us , ava , because i have approached the hippest , hottest art gallery in port charles about showing franco 's work , and they informed me that they have a new owner -- you . franco : this is easy - peasy , lemon - squeezy . you just stay away from carly , and then i do n't have to kill you . derek : that 's subtle . franco : and yet , even you caught on . derek : [ sighs ] franco : just stay away from carly . you see her walking down the hallway , you just turn around and go back to the bio lab . pretend she does n't even exist . derek : you do realize you already warned me to stay away from carly . franco : and you 're , like , a terrible listener , 'cause you went to dinner with her anyway , even after i politely demanded that you not do that . derek : yes , and , coincidentally , you ended up at the same place for dinner with your stylish and attractive attorney . franco : super attractive ! like , hot ! and available ! like , very single . she 's like a wildcat ! i think you should go out with her . derek : you know ... carly and i could n't help but notice ... you getting , uh , very handsy with ms . miller . but from what i could tell ... she really was n't that into you , not that you were into her , either . franco : uh , then , how do you explain the handsy part ? derek : [ sighs ] come on , now . all that ostentatious pda , the big , slobbery kiss -- you -- you were trying to make carly jealous . franco : come on . why would i -- why -- well , i - i - i was having a - a meal with a woman who is my lawyer , but she 's attractive , and we happen to have an intimate personal association . i mean , why on god 's great , green earth -- i was in no way , shape , or form trying to make carly -- what ? did it work ? sonny : why is this guy wells so interested in my business difficulties ? shawn : i do n't know , but i can find out . how about i track him down ? sonny : yeah . i want to know what this derek wells is up to . shawn : will do . [ knock on door ] sonny : yeah . michael : hey . sorry . is this a bad time ? shawn : on my way out . michael : hey . sonny : i have n't seen you in a couple days . michael : yeah , i 've been a little ... distracted . so , how -- how -- how are you feeling ? sonny : better . you know , i 'm back on my meds . i - i -- [ chuckles ] i had to do what your mama told -- told me to do , you know . michael : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad . sonny : that was a mistake , going off the medication . it always is . i 've made a lot of mistakes lately . michael : well , it 's -- you know , it 's been a -- it 's been a tough time . sonny : you know , i -- uh , i knew morgan was lying to you , and i - i kept the secret . you know , i - i was n't happy that you went after his girlfriend . but ... i chose not to tell you that you and kiki were not related , and for that ... i 'm sorry , and ... i hope you forgive me . and ... i 'm gon na , uh , regret that to -- to the day i die , you know ? michael : dad ... apology accepted . sonny : go ahead . scream at me if you want . [ chuckling ] you 're not -- you 're not gon na scream at me ? you 're not gon na tell me how , you know , i betrayed you and how i chose one brother 's happiness over the other ? you 're not gon na tell me that i 'm not your father ? michael : dad , you 'll always be my father , okay ? nothing -- nothing can change that . sonny : yeah . nothing can change that . alexis : what do you mean , ava has a relationship with derek ? carly : well , i mean , he says that she 's his art dealer . alexis : and you do n't believe him ? carly : well , i 've seen them being all chummy . but as far as i can see , it did n't look like romance or art . alexis : mm . so , why are you interested ? carly : because that woman has her claws in morgan . alexis : no . ava and morgan are -- carly : please do n't say it , because , i mean , just the thought of it -- it kills me , you know ? alexis : is n't she his mother - in - law ? carly : yes , and that makes it even more disgusting . ava is disgusting . and i was gon na throw her out on the street , but she 'd snuck out before i could do it . so , now i 'm trying to track her down . alexis : mm . you think derek knows where she is ? carly : well , i think he 's in touch with her , and i think he may be able to lead me to her . alexis : so , the dinner that you had with derek was n't romantic . carly : no ! well , i mean -- well , it did n't start off that way . it -- but it just kind of changed when franco showed up . franco : it 's an honest question . derek : [ panting ] franco : did i make carly jealous ? derek : [ sighs ] you want me to pass her a note in algebra and ask her ? franco : yeah , find out if she wrote my name on her jeans with a marker . derek : carly was n't jealous . in fact , if you had n't have been , uh , macking on your attorney to get her attention , you might 've noticed that , uh , i already had it . franco : her attention . derek : well , that 's one way to put it , i suppose . i mean , i was just sitting there , having a pleasant conversation . the next thing i knew , uh , carly was literally in my face . franco : aha . see ? so she did just kiss you to get back at me for kissing diane . derek : well , maybe she did . but , uh , what do i care ? carly is super attractive . and i look forward to getting to know her better ... and soon . sonny : how you doing with -- you know , after everything that i said . you know what i 'm talking about -- everything that went down . michael : yeah . yeah , um -- [ clears throat ] well , kiki and i are together now . sonny : you kids are happy ? [ laughs ] michael : yeah , we are . sonny : good . good . michael : [ clears throat ] see , there 's something else to , uh -- it 's about morgan . sonny : with ava ? the fact that they 're sleeping together ? michael : wait . you know ? sonny : yeah . i went to see her at her apartment . michael : hold on . morgan 's -- morgan 's living with her ? sonny : yep , yep , yep . she bought a penthouse . i went there , and there was morgan . michael : i thought that 's like a one - time thing , morgan 's way of -- of getting back at me and kiki . sonny : that 's how it started . but the way , you know , morgan 's talking , he 's gon na stay with ava indefinitely . michael : [ sighs ] did he , uh , say anything else ? sonny : he said he 's done with me , and , uh , he said it to my face . michael : well , you know how morgan gets when he 's angry . he says stuff he does n't mean . sonny : michael . your brother 's really pissed off at me . michael : you know , i think he 's pretty much pissed off at everyone right now . sonny : except ava . see , i can see why he 's with her . but i can not see what she 's doing with him . morgan : you bought a gallery . ava : yes , morgan , i did . diane , you were saying ? diane : yes , i was saying -- morgan : when ? diane : [ laughing ] oh , and teenagers -- they can be so impetuous . morgan : well , uh , i mean , that 's because you never told me . ava : it 's been in the works . uh , i 'm moving my business here . morgan : well , that 's -- that 's awesome . diane : yes , it 's awesome ! and i can not think of a more awesome way to announce your arrival than by launching franco 's comeback . ava : well , i 'm sorry , diane , but i 'm not interested . diane : yeah , but if you just take a moment just to think -- ava : i still wo n't be interested . diane : look . [ clears throat ] franco 's return is going to rock the collectors of this world . and did i mention the money you could make ? ava : what does franco have to say about this ? diane : franco has nothing to say about this . his assets are all frozen until his victims ' civil suit is settled . ava : so , what -- he 's a starving artist now ? diane : look , ava , you do n't even need to pretend to like franco . all you need to do is sell his work and divvy up the cash . ava : how long do i have to think about it ? diane : until i go to odile 's . morgan : wait , that 's , like -- that 's , like , right across the street . diane : it 's right across the street ! what do you think about that ? ! my gosh ! odile really loves franco 's work , and she needs the cash . ava : oh , you are good at this . diane : all i need is your signature on this contract , along with your partner 's . morgan : whoa . w - what partner ? franco : i will not let you talk about carly like that . derek : like what ? franco : you have no respect for her . you do n't know carly . you do n't care about her . derek : and you do ? franco : i 'm not gon na let you use her . derek : hey , you see yourself as , uh , carly 's protector . that 's a tad hypocritical , do n't you think -- i mean , given your criminal history and all ? or are you gon na try and sell her on the idea that she 's , uh , redeemed you somehow ? franco : we 're in the middle of a misunderstanding . derek : which brings up an interesting philosophical question . can something or someone as evil as you are experience love ? and if they , in fact , can experience love , are they still evil ? franco : a query completely exhausted during the third season of `` buffy the vampire slayer . `` i will leave you to ponder that . what is your price ? derek : price ? franco : yeah , i got a big show coming up . i 'm gon na make a lot of money . derek : are you , uh -- you trying to , uh , buy me off ? franco : what i 'm trying to do is speak your language . derek : okay . okay . well , then , uh , let me return the favor . i do n't need your money . carly does n't need your protection . now , if you 'll excuse me ... franco : so , what is it gon na take for me to get you to stop seeing carly ? derek : [ chuckles ] silas : ava slept with your husband , a kid that 's barely old enough to vote ? kiki : as awful as it all sounds , i should 've never married morgan to begin with , especially because i 'm in love with michael . sam : okay . silas : what ? sam : well , um , that 's good . at least you have michael . that 's great . kiki : yeah ! so , you do n't think that i 'm trampy for leaving my husband for his brother ? silas : no , you 're not t -- i mean , i 'm a little unclear about who 's with who right now , but , i mean , the -- the way i see it , it 's ava 's fault that you and michael thought you were related in the first place . that much i know , just like she kept it from us that you and i were father and daughter . sam : well , i mean , at least my mother had a good reason for not telling me who my father was . kiki : what reason was that ? sam : uh , because she did n't know who he was . but your mother -- she knew the whole time , your -- your entire life . kiki : yeah , she did . and now that i do know who my father is , i kind of have a question for you . how did you and my mom end up hooking up ? because you seem very different from her . i do n't see how that happened . silas : i - i - i really do n't know how to put that into words . i , um -- you know , from the moment i met her , i was drawn to her . kiki : and how long were you guys together ? uh , okay , i 'm sorry . you do n't want to be talking about this right now . that was really -- silas : no , it 's okay . you know what ? you -- you deserve to know , you know ? [ chuckles ] so , it was a long time ago , and i was , um -- i was in my last year of med school . and ava , she was opening this gallery , her first gallery . and i remember she did n't have enough money , so -- i remember she had to get money from her brother to bankroll her . kiki : uh , wait , wait , wait . i 'm sorry . her brother ? what brother ? derek : [ sighs ] you seem determined to make this a contest . franco : i am determined to get you away from her . derek : [ sighs ] okay , fine . um ... let 's make this easy . why do n't we , uh -- why do n't we fight each other ? [ sighs ] port charles . ava follows kiki . now , next thing i know , i 'm getting a report that someone 's trying to muscle into my territory , and those same goons that are running that gambling ring are back in town . michael : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm not -- i 'm still not seeing the connection to ava . sonny : shawn put the squeeze on one of the -- one of the enforcers , had him cough up ... who his boss was . michael : okay , and what 's the name ? sonny : julian jerome . michael : okay , and you think that ava has some sort of a connection to this julian ? sonny : i wish ! but ... julian jerome 's been dead for over 20 years . uh , they were -- they were a - a mob family that used to be here , even before i got here . michael : what happened to them ? sonny : they 're dead . at least , that 's what people think . michael : what do you think ? sonny : i 'm thinking that a woman with the same last name as a dead mob boss attached her daughter to morgan . when that did n't work ... she got with him herself . michael : and you think that ava wants to stay close to the family , close to us ? sonny : ca n't be a coincidence . michael : well , you should know that , uh , kiki does n't want anything to do with her mother . sonny : okay . you need -- you need to stay away from this woman . michael : yeah , no problem . sonny : what we just talked about is between me and you . michael : i got it . sonny : all right . i -- you know what ? i feel terrible , because i been talking about business instead of how -- w - what 's going on ? michael : actually , that 's why i 'm here . um ... i need a job . franco : you want to fight ? derek : it 's just sparring -- a friendly little match . franco : but we 're not friendly . derek : okay , um ... why do n't you think of it as trying to get what you want ? franco : you away from carly ? derek : how about it ? are you , uh -- you do know how to box , do n't you ? alexis : all right , i do n't get it . so , why is franco -- carly ! you and franco ? carly : no ! excuse me . uh , ms . jacks ? you asked me to keep an eye out for this . carly : thank you . uh - huh . okay . here you go . alexis : what is this ? carly : lucas ' dna sample . now you can find out if sam and lucas are brother and sister . sam : do you need to sit down or anything ? kiki : no . no , thank you . i 'm just very pissed . you see , my mom told me that she was an only child . why would she lie to me about something like that ? silas : i do n't know . i guess you 're gon na have to ask her . kiki : you know , it 's probably the same reason she lied to me about you -- because she 's trying to work some angle . silas : mm . i do n't know . kiki : i honestly have an uncle that i know nothing about ? silas : i never met him , you know , but ... ava did make a point of telling me her brother was connected , and he had a lot of money . kiki : what 's his name ? franco : do i know how to box ? ' course i know how to -- who does n't know how to box ? derek : great , great . then , uh , let 's get started . franco : the thing is , i did n't bring any of my gear . you know , i do n't have my satin shorts or my gloves or , you know , the fantastic , little booties . derek : today 's your lucky day , because the , uh , gym can hook you up with everything you need . franco : great . lucky me . derek : yeah . so , okay . here are the terms . um , i beat you , you stay away from carly . franco : if i beat you , then carly 's off your radar . derek : yeah , i was n't finished . uh , you also need to stop annoying me . you ca n't eat at the metro court same time i 'm there , and i really need you to just stop coming around here . franco : all right . good , 'cause , you know , i spend so much time around here . derek : okay , so , uh ... i win , you 're done with me ... and carly . deal ? sonny : you need a job ? [ sighs ] michael : you know , tracy threw me out of elq , which is fine . i mean , i would n't want to work for her , anyway . sonny : yeah , i do n't blame you on that one . michael : i 've been sending out résumés , but let 's face it -- the first thing they see is that i 'm a convicted felon . so i 'm basically un - hirable , and i -- uh , i need work . sonny : michael , how many times have we had this conversation ? i love you , right ? but you ca n't -- you ca n't g - go anywhere near my organization . michael : i was n't thinking that . i was thinking more like somewhere in the coffee warehouse . i could do anything . i could be in charge of schedules . i - i can drive a forklift or -- a delivery truck -- anything . sonny : michael , my coffee shipment was blown up two weeks ago . if i have you anywhere near there , your mother 's gon na have my head . michael : she does n't have a say in this , okay ? look , i want to help you any way i can . you 're my father . sonny : i do n't want to lose another son . michael : look , dad . morgan may have turned his back on you , but that 's not what i 'm gon na do . sonny : all right . i 'll see what i can do . michael : yeah ? sonny : yeah . but first , we got to deal with your mom . alexis : this really contains a sample of your brother 's dna ? carly : yes . alexis : [ sighs ] carly : danny 's jason 's son . he deserves to know where he came from , and for him to know that , sam needs to know where she came from . it 's that simple . alexis : thank you , carly . carly : you 're welcome . not sure how sam 's gon na feel about having a mobster father . alexis : she 'll just have that much more in common with her sisters . carly : and she 'll have a great brother . alexis : [ sighs ] if you see sam , i have n't told her yet . i just want to be sure before i tell her . carly : i hope you get the answers you 're looking for . kiki : my mom must 've mentioned her brother 's name . silas : hmm . now that i think about it , she never did . it -- it was always just `` my brother . `` kiki : see , i would just go out and ask her , but she would never give me a straight answer . silas : mm . sam : hey . i am a p.i . i could find out for you . i could look into this . kiki : oh , uh , th - thank you so much for that offer , but i do n't have any money to pay you . sam : are you kidding ? i would n't want -- i - i would n't want you to pay me . kiki : oh , no . but i - i 'm really not a moocher . that 's actually why i 'm here . uh , i - it 's one of the reasons . i was hoping that there would be a job here , maybe something administrative ? silas : i see . kiki : uh , uh , i - i do n't mean to take advantage of your newfound status as my father . it 's just , i -- silas : i do n't have a problem with that . kiki : no , i - i just really -- really ? silas : yeah . no , it 's -- it 's all right . i 'm just -- i 'm just curious . why -- why would you want to work here ? it 's beige and sterile , and there 's people who are sick , and there 's people who are crazy , or both . kiki : i lived with the quartermaines . sam : mm .

[ knock on door ] sonny : yeah . michael : hey . sorry . is this a bad time ? shawn : on my way out . michael : hey . sonny : i have n't seen you in a couple days . michael : yeah , i 've been a little ... distracted . so , how -- how -- how are you feeling ? sonny : better . you know , i 'm back on my meds . i - i -- [ chuckles ] i had to do what your mama told -- told me to do , you know . michael : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad . sonny : that was a mistake , going off the medication . it always is . i 've made a lot of mistakes lately . michael : well , it 's -- you know , it 's been a -- it 's been a tough time . sonny : you know , i -- uh , i knew morgan was lying to you , and i - i kept the secret . you know , i - i was n't happy that you went after his girlfriend . but ... i chose not to tell you that you and kiki were not related , and for that ... i 'm sorry , and ... i hope you forgive me . and ... i 'm gon na , uh , regret that to -- to the day i die , you know ? michael : dad ... apology accepted . sonny : go ahead . scream at me if you want . [ chuckling ] you 're not -- you 're not gon na scream at me ? you 're not gon na tell me how , you know , i betrayed you and how i chose one brother 's happiness over the other ? you 're not gon na tell me that i 'm not your father ? michael : dad , you 'll always be my father , okay ? nothing -- nothing can change that . sonny : yeah . nothing can change that . alexis : what do you mean , ava has a relationship with derek ? carly : well , i mean , he says that she 's his art dealer . alexis : and you do n't believe him ? carly : well , i 've seen them being all chummy . but as far as i can see , it did n't look like romance or art . alexis : mm . so , why are you interested ? carly : because that woman has her claws in morgan . alexis : no . ava and morgan are -- carly : please do n't say it , because , i mean , just the thought of it -- it kills me , you know ? alexis : is n't she his mother - in - law ? carly : yes , and that makes it even more disgusting . ava is disgusting . and i was gon na throw her out on the street , but she 'd snuck out before i could do it . so , now i 'm trying to track her down . alexis : mm . you think derek knows where she is ? carly : well , i think he 's in touch with her , and i think he may be able to lead me to her . alexis : so , the dinner that you had with derek was n't romantic . carly : no ! well , i mean -- well , it did n't start off that way . it -- but it just kind of changed when franco showed up . franco : it 's an honest question . derek : [ panting ] franco : did i make carly jealous ? derek : [ sighs ] you want me to pass her a note in algebra and ask her ? franco : yeah , find out if she wrote my name on her jeans with a marker . derek : carly was n't jealous . in fact , if you had n't have been , uh , macking on your attorney to get her attention , you might 've noticed that , uh , i already had it . franco : her attention . derek : well , that 's one way to put it , i suppose . i mean , i was just sitting there , having a pleasant conversation . the next thing i knew , uh , carly was literally in my face . franco : aha . see ? so she did just kiss you to get back at me for kissing diane . derek : well , maybe she did . but , uh , what do i care ? carly is super attractive . and i look forward to getting to know her better ... and soon . sonny : how you doing with -- you know , after everything that i said . you know what i 'm talking about -- everything that went down . michael : yeah . yeah , um -- [ clears throat ] well , kiki and i are together now . sonny : you kids are happy ?

summer : yeah , well , i hate to break it to you , mom , but that nagging voice that you 're talking about , it 's not because of me . it 's because you knew that your relationship was dying a slow death . and it 's been obvious to anyone who 's been paying attention , except for you . so this is just me giving you and billy a helping hand to help you out of your misery . phyllis : do you seriously believe this ridiculous crush of yours is a two - way street ?

nate : anything concerning your private medical information , yes . it 's federal law . which tends to trump a 2,500-year - old pledge to the greek god apollo . but i am still not sure what you 're getting at . nikki : does that law only pertain to something about me personally , or is it kind of like talking to a priest , where they 're not supposed to say anything to anybody ? nate : well , if you 're going to confess that you 're a notorious serial killer wanted by interpol , i do n't think the statutes prevent me from squealing . nikki : [ laughs nervously ] yeah , i - i , uh -- i 'll keep that in mind . nate : all kidding aside , nikki , something is -- is troubling you enough that you want to feel safe confiding in me . something that involves victoria , which you felt was sensitive enough that you were n't entirely truthful . this is the gist of it , yes ?

arturo : yeah . i 'm good . summer : be grateful that my flight 's delayed . i still intend to make it . phyllis : you 're not going anywhere until you explain this . how exactly did billy make your fantasies about him a reality ? summer : by admitting to me how he truly feels . phyllis : why should i believe you ? you 've been going behind my back for months now , lying to me . summer : because billy said to me , and i quote , that if you were n't in the picture , he would be totally into me . phyllis : [ chuckles ] honey , that was his polite way of dealing with you with an incredibly inappropriate come - on . summer : there is nothing polite about the way that billy 's attracted to me . it is primal and visceral , and it breaks every rule in the book . phyllis : oh , really ? i think you 've been reading a little too many romance novels is what i think . summer : all right . you know what ? go ahead . make fun , mom . see who has the last laugh . phyllis : no , you know what ? you 're right . you 're absolutely right . he probably did you some truth there , you know , because the only way that he would look at you is if i did n't exist . summer : yeah , that 's one way to look at it , mom . but i would be asking yourself , `` why has n't billy talked to me about any of this before ? `` phyllis : you know why ? because he would n't want to hurt me by showing me what an incredibly horrible person my daughter has become . summer : no . i 'm sorry . it 's because billy wants me , and he wants to be able to sleep with me behind your back . that is the illicit thrill that he ca n't resist . phyllis : really ? well , it 's over . that 's over right now , because you are so busted , so ... if you think that our relationship is ever gon na be the same after this -- summer : no , it is not over . because i am not giving up . not when i am this close to the prize . nikki : in the beginning , j.t . had us all fooled . [ sighs ] before he left genoa city years ago , he was a thoughtful , principled young man , determined to do right by his son . but then when he came back , he was a whole different person . he was angry . he was vindictive . his life had n't gone the way he had hoped it would , and he took a lot of anger out on victoria . nate : how ? nikki : it was subtle at first . he 'd say these things that would undermine her confidence . now , looking back on it , i can see that he was doing things that were very controlling . nate : he was emotionally abusive . nikki : eventually it became physical . nate : the thought of a man laying a hand on a woman to do her harm , it just ... nikki : hey , when i found out what was going on , the only thing i could think about was to protect my daughter , to keep her safe from this monster . i hate betraying her confidence right now , but i do n't know where else to turn . nate : so , the lie that you referred to -- nikki : you were asking me about her problems , and i covered them up . i realize now that that is n't doing anything . and she is just hanging on to so much anguish , which you can plainly see just by spending a few minutes with her . nate : listen , i am so sorry that you 're dealing with this . you and victoria . but i -- i do n't know what you want from me . i did a psych rotation in med school , okay , but i am no therapist . nikki : i realize that . i 'm just desperate . i ca n't bear to see my child suffer . she needs help , and she needs help now . every time i see her , she seems to be getting worse . victoria : [ sighs ] [ pen clatters ] paul : [ groans ] you dropped this . rey : thank you . paul : mind if i join you ? victoria : suit yourself . paul : you know , i really thought i 'd hear from you by now . victoria : why ? paul : well , i assumed that you would be interested in any update with j.t . yet you really have n't been in contact with the department once since i questioned you about his return . why is that ? phyllis : i - i ca n't believe it . i ca n't even believe that you 're gon na push this past the point of no return . you 're gon na be willing to destroy our relationship , yours and mine . just over . summer : no , no . do not give me that whole `` i am so hurt `` routine , not after you 've done such rotten things to people . phyllis : okay . okay . you can lash out at me all you want , but i am not the only one that 's gon na get hurt here . summer : oh , really ? really ? phyllis : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . billy . you are putting him in an impossible situation . not only personally , but legally . summer : why ? i 'm of age . phyllis : you work for the man indirectly . summer : no , this has nothing to do with work . phyllis : do you know the optics on this are just absolutely horrible , summer ? and then what you did with jack , you manipulated his feelings to try to get us back together , i mean , that wound up hurting him deeply . summer : i hurt jack 's feelings ? i did ? okay , then your memory must be either extremely short or hypocritical or both , honestly . phyllis : this -- th -- i am actually sick to my stomach listening to you as if there is nothing the least bit wrong with your own behavior . when i was married to jack , i knew -- i knew being with billy was the wrong thing . i agonized over it . but you , you are throwing yourself at a man who 's in a committed relationship like nothing 's wrong . i mean , where is your conscience ? summer : `` a committed relationship `` ? that is funny , mom ! so how committed were you , exactly , the night that you and dad decided to jump each other 's bones ? you know , at least i 'm not cheating on anyone . that puts me one up on the two of you . and also , while we 're at it , i never purposefully ran over anyone with my car . now , that -- that is twisted . would you like me to rehash any of the other crap that you 've pulled in the past , because i could go on and on , mom . phyllis : you know , i - i had absolutely no idea that you hated me this much . i want you to tell me something . [ voice breaking ] what did i do to cause this animosity in you ? summer : not everything is about you . phyllis : what are you talking about ? ! how is this not about me ? ! you are making an all - out play for the man i love . everything about this is about me ! who are you ? who are you right now ? summer : oh , my god . we 're not gon na play this song again , are we , mom ? really ? so none of what 's happened seems at all familiar to you ? a little lie here , a seductive play there . going for whatever man you feel like , and not letting anyone or anything get in your way . this ring any bells , mom ? does it ? you know , think -- think way back . think way back . 'cause i learned from the master herself , although i am nowhere near as messy as she is . phyllis : do you think you 're in the position to judge me ? the choices i 've made , the things that i have done to survive ? since the day you were born , everything has been given to you . you 've been princess newman . yeah . no . you have not had to struggle for a damn thing . summer : okay . so because i have n't had to struggle enough , my life just does n't count ? is that what you really think ? phyllis : you 're not hearing what i 'm telling you . you do n't know what it means to fight . [ summer scoffs ] you do n't know what it means to need to fight ! and , yes , i have done things in my life that i regret , but you are being vindictive and spiteful , and you do n't even have a hint of remorse . summer : my husband died . phyllis : uh - huh . summer : i have had my heart broken . i have been cheated on -- something that you have had little regard for at all up until right now . so suddenly it becomes a problem when it all comes to bite you in the ass . well , you know what , mom ? too bad . now it 's your turn to be the one that gets cheated on when billy decides to move forward with a woman that does n't bore him . oh , yeah . after a life of making other people miserable , this is what women like you get when you get old . karma comes a - knockin ' . and every ugly thing that you hate about me is a direct reflection of you . abby : so , do you think you 'll have any time to do some sight - seeing ? arturo : of commercial real estate , yeah , i 'm sure . [ chuckles ] you do know nick and i are not headed off on vacation , right ? abby : well , what about at night ? what are you gon na do to amuse yourself ? you know , nick is n't exactly a party animal . arturo : well , the hotel has to have a gym . and i 'm actually in the middle of a spy novel . and i can watch the movies you gave me . abby : that sounds thrilling . arturo : it would be if i had you there with me . come with me . abby : what ? no way . it 's a business trip . arturo : one that would be a lot more lively if i had your company in the evenings . and you work for dark horse , so ... abby : well , that 's very sweet , and i love that you asked me , but ... arturo : you 're turning me down anyway . abby : [ sighs ] i have work to do here . arturo : i understand . abby : hey , we 'll survive a few days apart . just about . but i do expect some high - quality video - chatting . arturo : mm . that sounds -- abby : that sounds what ? are you okay ? arturo : [ sighs ] turn around and go away . now . nikki : there will be times when she 's perfectly fine , and then all of a sudden she 'll snap and get very emotional . overreact to something that would normally not even phase her . nate : i 'm no expert , but from what you 're describing , it seems like victoria 's exhibiting signs of post - traumatic stress . nikki : oh , my god . nate : yeah . nikki : my son dylan suffered with that after his military service in afghanistan . to the point of flashbacks and hallucinations . nate : well , then , you know how serious this can be . nikki : yes . [ sighs ] whenever he would have an episode , it -- it was terrifying . not just for him , but for everybody around him . nate : and abuse by a partner can trigger similar reactions . i mean , sudden mood swings , sleep disturbances , panic attacks . i have seen it all before . and the worst part is , when the abuse stops , the survivor tries to push on without dealing with the underlying trauma . which seldom works for long . nikki : i 'm afraid that 's what my daughter is facing . nate : and again , not my area of specialization , okay ... but i think victoria should be seeing a therapist . nikki : no , she already is . unfortunately , it does n't seem to be doing much . nate : listen , i know a guy in madison . stellar background . md in psychiatry plus a phd in counseling . okay ? if you like , i can give you his contact info . this guy has a knack for getting people to open up about their innermost fears and secrets . nikki : thank you . thank you very much for that . but ... in this particular instance , that is not the answer . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley . hey . do n't ask any questions , but i 'm in billy 's office , going through his files . no evidence of any misappropriated funds yet . anything in particular i should be looking for ? okay . all right . i 'll keep you posted . phyllis : where you headed to now ? summer : where does it look like i 'm going ? to get the hell out of here . phyllis : to go tell billy about my mistake with nick ? summer : to get away from you . phyllis : is that so ? summer : yeah . you know what , mom , i can handle a lot , but i will not tolerate being slapped by your or anybody else . phyllis : think that 's garner some sympathy from billy ? you know , get a little convenient shoulder to cry on ? summer : i do n't need to tell billy about this or your little one - nighter . i can get him all on my own , no extra ammunition needed . phyllis : okay . you 're not gon na get too far without this , so ... summer : i can print up another one at the airport and still make it to billy 's hotel by tonight . phyllis : summer , you are setting yourself up for more pain and humiliation . nothing 's gon na happen out there , i can promise you that . summer : oh , so you think that billy 's gon na stay pure for you ? dream on . phyllis : you do this , and you will be very , very sorry . summer : i was wondering how long it was gon na take you to resort to threats . well , go ahead , mom . give me your worst . i 'm leaving . phyllis : [ crying ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nate : nikki , i wish i could help . i do . but victoria made it very clear that she wants me to keep my distance . and if i try to push , it may stress her out more . the opposite of what we want . nikki : she has always been fiercely independent . but after this thing with j.t . happened , [ sighs ] it 's just made her question her own judgment . she 's put up walls . now , if you can tear them down , i 'm sure that you can earn her trust , and then you could get somewhere . nikki : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . that is out of the question . god , i hate that i did n't realize what was going on sooner , before everything spun out of control . nikki : nate , please . you have to find a way . help my daughter . however you can . paul : here you go . victoria : thanks . paul : no problem . now , how about answering my question ? victoria : i do n't like what you 're insinuating . paul : look , victoria , i 'm -- i 'm not here to hassle you . i mean , j.t . put you through enough , and the last thing i want to do is make things worse for you . but it is frustrating . he was here in town , and we were n't able to make an arrest . victoria : look , i 'm just relieved that he 's gone . again . not just for dad 's sake , but for mine . if i have n't checked in , you 'll just have to forgive me for wanting to forget that j.t . hellstrom even exists . paul : that would be a lot easier for you to do if he was locked safely behind bars . victoria : [ sighs ] i wish that was possible . i mean , you 're right . i would love that . paul : why would n't it be possible ? victoria : look , i do n't really have a lot of faith in the department these days . i 'm sorry , but that 's how i feel . he left a trail of credit - card receipts , and you could n't even bust him . that 's inexcusable . so now , if you do n't mind -- paul : i am truly sorry that we have n't found j.t . yet . or figured out what happened to him . summer : whatever you 're having , make mine a double . kyle : should n't you be on your way to the airport by now ? summer : yeah , my flight 's delayed . but i still plan on making it . after what i just dealt with , i am more motivated than ever . kyle : why ? what happened ? summer : well , my mom found my boarding pass , so she flipped out on me , and then she hauled off and slapped me . kyle : whoa . seriously ? summer : yep . we got into it . and it 's way past time if you ask me . kyle : okay , so , you fought . you 're all fired up . i -- i understand you want to get even , but you only have one mom . summer : yeah , thank god . kyle : all i 'm saying , maybe you should re - think your plans with billy while you can still salvage things with your mom . summer : it 's too late . she crossed the line , and there is no going back now . arturo : what are you doing here ? rey : what do you think ? arturo : not in the mood to play guessing games . abby : will one of you please tell me what 's going on ? arturo : you 're better off not knowing . rey : ah , you 're still hiding , i see . arturo : life 's too short . come on . let 's go . rey : no , no , no . you 're not -- you 're not running away from me . arturo : oh , i 'm not running . i just have much better places to be . abby : is this why we left the coffeehouse so abruptly , because you saw him there , too ? arturo : believe me , you do not want to hear him chew me out yet again . it 's a losing battle . rey : well , you 've deserved every chewing - out you 've ever gotten since you were a little kid . abby : wait , how long have you two known each other ? who are you ? rey : since arturito here has no manners ... allow me to introduce myself . i 'm rey rosales . his older brother . phyllis : [ slams tea kettle ] [ sighs ] hi . it 's me . i need a huge favor . it 's an emergency . i 'll make it worth your while . victoria : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] nikki : hey . is now a good time ? victoria : [ sighs ] sure . on second thought , no . please . both of you , please leave . nikki : honey , nate is only here because i insisted . victoria : even after i made my position clear ? nate : i relayed your feelings on the subject . victoria : mm . apparently not well enough . nikki : he has helped me tremendously , victoria . victoria : great . then let him treat you . i 'm glad that nate is helping you with your m.s . but i am not sick . nikki : all right . you 're not gon na like this , but please listen to me . i told him about your ordeal with j.t . victoria : you did what ? ! nikki : just calm down and try to understand . you can deny it all you want , but i am your mother , and you are not yourself . nate is an excellent doctor . he 's very discreet . victoria : mom , you had no right ! nikki : sweetheart , you have to do something -- victoria : mom , this is my private and personal information , not to be shared with anyone ! what if i shared your dark secrets with the world ? would you like that , mom ? abby : you do kind of look alike . arturo : [ scoffs ] if that 's true , it 's the only thing we have in common . rey : oh , that 's funny coming from you . you really think we 've shared nothing ? arturo : you want to take this outside ? abby : whoa , whoa , whoa ! okay . whatever this is about , do n't start throwing punches , okay ? look , believe me , being a newman and an abbott , no one knows more about complicated family drama . arturo : abby , baby , i 'm sorry , but i need you to stay out of this . rey : abby ? that 's a very pretty name . i 'm assuming you 're my brother 's new girlfriend . abby : as a matter of fact -- arturo : yes , she is . abby : ... i am . rey : well , i 'm sorry if -- if my kid brother and i are making you feel uncomfortable . arturo : no . no , that would just be you , buddy . rey : i 've spent most of my life running around , cleaning up arturo 's messes . arturo : hmph . is that what you 're doing here ? after two years , you still trying to look after me ? rey : no , man . i was done with you a long time ago . arturo : mm . i 'm out of here . you coming ? abby : it 's nice to meet you . summer : she called me delusional and vicious and -- and nasty . and then , without warning , she smacks me . i swear to god , kyle , i saw stars . i am amazed that it did n't leave a mark . kyle : phyllis probably just reacted in the moment . summer : i have never been hit like that before , ever . so for my own mom to get violent with me because she ca n't accept some hard truths -- kyle : this is insane . you want my car that bad , take it . i 'll buy another one . summer : what are you even saying -- kyle : i 'm willing to concede the bet if you cancel your trip . go back to phyllis . try to make peace before it 's too late . summer : this is about more than some stupid bet , kyle . kyle : clearly . you have an ax to grind with your mom . phyllis : not everything is about my mom . why is it so hard for you to believe that billy and i could actually be something ? kyle : he 'd be the first to tell you he 's wrecked every relationship he 's ever been in . and if he 'd cheat on the woman he supposedly loves with her own daughter , how can you expect a better outcome ? you 're not gon na change him , if that 's what you 're thinking . summer : okay . so he 's messed up a few times . who has n't ? it 's because billy goes and he takes risks . he 's taking that leap while everyone else is too busy sitting on the sidelines playing it safe . kyle : one of these days , he 'll gamble too big . and that leap will bring him down for good . summer : you have no idea what you are talking about . i have seen billy gamble . he is a gladiator at the poker table . this one time , it was down to him and this sinead woman , and she bet her house in catalina , and billy did n't bat an eye . so he anted up the jaboat . and when he lost ? no reaction . did n't even break a sweat . kyle : billy lost the company 's boat in a card game ? summer : yes , and then he won enough money to buy it back . and it was hot as hell . and that is the kind of guy that billy is , and nobody seems to get that . [ cellphone chimes ] oh , my god . this is a game changer . abby : finally . we can enjoy a farewell drink in peace . arturo : [ sighs ] yeah . i 'm really sorry we 've had the day we had . abby : well , i 'd feel a lot less weird about the whole thing if you would explain what the deal is with you and rey . arturo : mm , just [ sighs ] family issues . you know , sibling stuff . abby : i figured . arturo : to be honest , i really do n't want to talk about it anymore . abby : arturo , i -- arturo : look , abby , i know that you 'd probably get this better than most people , but i just want to drop it . okay ? can -- can we do that ? to be honest , my biggest regret is , the whole thing ruined our time together . abby : well , i 'm more concerned with how it affected you . arturo : [ sighs ] abby : you 're trying to downplay it , but i have eyes . and clearly there 's some major thing with you and your brother . what is it ? arturo : abby , i do not want to talk about it -- abby : yeah , you do n't want to talk about it , but i do . arturo : just forget about rey , okay ? he 'll be gone soon , if he 's not already . actually , i have to , uh -- i have to meet up with nick . i promise to stay in touch with you every day while i 'm gone , okay ? abby : okay . arturo : in the meantime , this will have to hold you over . abby : hurry back . arturo : okay . abby : i mean it . arturo : okay . i miss you already . victoria : i 'm perfectly healthy . i do n't need a doctor or any other kind of medical intervention . nikki : nate has been loyal to our family , and he will never repeat anything i said to him . victoria : mom , you had no right sharing it in the first place . nate : i knew that you would not welcome this visit . and for the record , i do n't need any more details about what went down with you and j.t . but if you need a little assistance through this rough time , i can give you a thorough physical . i can offer techniques to help you sleep , de - stress , or i can just be someone for you to vent to . victoria : how many times do i have to say it ? i 'm fine . nikki : sweetheart , please consider -- victoria : look ! thank you , everybody . thank you so much for the help . but no thanks . i 'm not gon na be some victim curled up in the corner weeping , all right ? i 'm strong . i 'm strong , mom . i will live to fight another day . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have a lot of work to do . kyle : `` change in plans . i did n't go to philly . meet me on board the boat . i need to see you tonight . billy . `` summer : heh . i knew it . billy wants me just as much as i want him . i thought it would take a little bit more work than this , but this just makes it that much sweeter . kyle : summer , do n't do this . please . summer : i 'm sorry , dude . i won the bet . you lost . phyllis : see ya , sweetie . enjoy your cruise . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... phyllis : what 's going on with you and my daughter ? ashley : we have to wait , monitor the company 's finances , and any direction that billy takes towards them . kyle : why wait for him to mess up ? we can make it happen . sharon : what exactly are you doing here in genoa city ? rey : i 'm here because of j.t . hellstrom . | paul asked victoria why she had n't sought an update on the police department 's search for jt . victoria said she wanted to forget jt ever existed . nikki told nate about the abuse victoria suffered , and some of victoria 's concerning behavior . nate speculated that victoria was suffering from ptsd . nikki convinced nate to try and help victoria . victoria was angry with nikki for disclosing her personal information . victoria insisted that she was fine , and she showed nate and nikki the door . rey and arturo had a tense reunion . abby learned that rey was arturo 's estranged older brother . abby pressed arturo to tell her what happened between him and rey , but arturo refused to talk about it . arturo left for his business trip with nick . phyllis confronted summer about her plan to seduce billy . summer admitted she wanted billy and was unremorseful . summer said this was karmic retribution for phyllis 's misdeeds , and phyllis slapped her . summer left , determined to sleep with billy . kyle offered to give summer his car if she 'd drop her pursuit of billy , but she refused . phyllis lured summer onto jaboat , by faking a text from billy that asked summer to meet him on the yacht . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] kyle : summer said billy has a hard time keeping his hands off her . when she wants something , she 's not gon na stop until she has her way . phyllis : you 're gon na need this to get on your flight to philadelphia . looks like the only retreat you 're going to is the one with my boyfriend . nick : with dark horse picking up steam , i 'm gon na have to go out of town in the next week or so to check out some potential buildings for development . would you want to come with me ? give me an idea on what you think you could do with the places ? victoria : you do n't know if i 'm in distress or not , because you do n't know me at all , do you ? nate : have a seat , and i can tell you why -- victoria : did you hear one word that i said ? back the hell off . [ doorbell rings ] nate : door 's open . nikki . this is a surprise . is everything okay ? nikki : well , yeah . i - i -- i wish i could still pull off that maneuver . but aside from that , i 'm fine . it 's my daughter i 'm concerned about . nate : victoria ? nikki : i 'm afraid i lied to you . abby : a mini - flashlight , in case the power goes out at the hotel . it happens . arturo : okay . abby : i got you some of that tea that you like that helps you sleep in case you get too wound up . arturo : hey , no earplugs ? abby : as a matter of fact ... arturo : ah . abby : [ laughs ] and i would have gotten you an eye mask , but all they had were pink satin ones , so i decided to pass . arturo : that 's a wise decision . abby : i put some dvds in there , in case the hotel has a dvd player . and some of those dark - chocolate bars that you like , with the cinnamon and the chili . arturo : wow . you literally thought of everything . abby : i try . [ both laugh ] arturo : thank you , abby . seriously . this is such an amazing gift . although , you do know i 'm -- i 'm not going overseas into battle , right ? i mean , i 'm just gon na check out a few buildings with your brother . in america . abby : i went overboard , did n't i ? arturo : no . i mean ... just a little . abby : ah . that 's okay . that 's what i do . and i am gon na really miss you . we 've been seeing each other almost every day . arturo : i 'm gon na miss you , too . abby : how much ? arturo : i will show you the night i get back . abby : ooh . promise ? arturo : i promise . abby : [ laughs ] you okay ? arturo : mm - hmm . yeah . we , uh -- we got to go , babe . this is amazing . abby : oh . i did n't even -- arturo : we got to go , honey . abby : ... finish my coffee . arturo : let 's go . let 's go . summer : all right . fine , mom . you caught me . i 'm not going to any yoga retreat . but that ticket is just to get me to the trade show . it 's not some pass to `` board `` billy . phyllis : oh , i know it 's not gon na get you into billy 's bed . but that is what you were hoping . do n't you even try to deny it . summer : you know what , you can paranoid all you want . fine by me . but i am flying to philly on my own dime to prove a point to lauren . phyllis : excuse me . what ? summer : i 'm the one that told lauren about that trade show , thinking that she would let me go to represent fenmore 's . but instead , she decides to go herself , taking away any chance i had to get some outside recognition . so , yeah , i was ticked off enough that i decided , i 'm just gon na go . i 'm gon na surprise lauren , and wow her with my enthusiasm . phyllis : okay . well , i think we both know who you were trying to `` wow . `` do n't give me that `` innocent `` look . you are not a little girl . and if you had enough nerve to try and pull something like this off , well , then , you own it . you be that woman who does not care whose life she wrecks . summer : what a crappy thing to say -- give that back to me ! phyllis : oh , no . we are not going anywhere . we are not leaving this apartment until i get some honesty . now , i want you to tell me why in the hell you lied to me about where you were going . summer : okay . fine . fine . i want billy . you were right . is that enough honesty for you , mom ? phyllis : it 's all making sense . every time i caught you in his office . the way that you seemed to love prancing around here half - naked . you know , way down , deep inside , i had this nagging voice that all of this was not so innocent . but i - i -- i kept pushing that aside . because who would ever want to believe that their own daughter would stoop so low ? summer : yeah , well , i hate to break it to you , mom , but that nagging voice that you 're talking about , it 's not because of me . it 's because you knew that your relationship was dying a slow death . and it 's been obvious to anyone who 's been paying attention , except for you . so this is just me giving you and billy a helping hand to help you out of your misery . phyllis : do you seriously believe this ridiculous crush of yours is a two - way street ? when have you become so delusional ? summer : oh , my god . wake up , mom . this is billy that we are talking about . billy . he craves danger and excitement and risk , and that 's me . phyllis : no . that is your fantasy world . summer : no , mom . you still do n't get it . billy wants me , and that is no fantasy . in fact , he 's already made it a reality . additional sponsorship kyle : if you can sharpen your pencil any -- awesome . send me the revised estimate , and i 'll take a look . hey , steve ? got another call coming through , buddy . yeah . you too . kyle abbott . gloria . what can i do for you ? i 'm out of the office for a while yet . leaving for the rest of the day , huh ? what if i need to get in touch with billy ? already headed to the airport . good to know . very good to know . nate : [ sighs ] i 'm , uh ... i 'm not sure how my hippocratic oath pertains to any lie you might have told . nikki : i 'm asking about privacy . because i 'm your patient , um , anything that i tell you stays `` in the vault , `` right ? nate : anything concerning your private medical information , yes . it 's federal law . which tends to trump a 2,500-year - old pledge to the greek god apollo . but i am still not sure what you 're getting at . nikki : does that law only pertain to something about me personally , or is it kind of like talking to a priest , where they 're not supposed to say anything to anybody ? nate : well , if you 're going to confess that you 're a notorious serial killer wanted by interpol , i do n't think the statutes prevent me from squealing . nikki : [ laughs nervously ] yeah , i - i , uh -- i 'll keep that in mind . nate : all kidding aside , nikki , something is -- is troubling you enough that you want to feel safe confiding in me . something that involves victoria , which you felt was sensitive enough that you were n't entirely truthful . this is the gist of it , yes ? nikki : nate , can i trust that anything i tell you stays in this room and goes nowhere else ? nate : yes , you can . on my honor . victor never would have hired me if he did n't think i could be discreet . now , what is going on ? talk to me . nikki : it 's about victoria . and her ex - husband , j.t . abby : you still have n't explained why we had to rush out of crimson lights . arturo : well , i wanted to repay your kindness . i did not get you a going - away present . abby : silly . because i 'm not going anywhere . arturo : yeah , but you -- you still inspired me to say goodbye in style . so order up something fun . it 's my treat . abby : well , when you put it that way ... are you sure nothing 's bothering you ? arturo : yeah . i 'm good . summer : be grateful that my flight 's delayed . i still intend to make it . phyllis : you 're not going anywhere until you explain this . how exactly did billy make your fantasies about him a reality ? summer : by admitting to me how he truly feels . phyllis : why should i believe you ? you 've been going behind my back for months now , lying to me . summer : because billy said to me , and i quote , that if you were n't in the picture , he would be totally into me . phyllis : [ chuckles ] honey , that was his polite way of dealing with you with an incredibly inappropriate come - on . summer : there is nothing polite about the way that billy 's attracted to me . it is primal and visceral , and it breaks every rule in the book . phyllis : oh , really ? i think you 've been reading a little too many romance novels is what i think . summer : all right . you know what ? go ahead . make fun , mom . see who has the last laugh . phyllis : no , you know what ? you 're right . you 're absolutely right . he probably did you some truth there , you know , because the only way that he would look at you is if i did n't exist . summer : yeah , that 's one way to look at it , mom . but i would be asking yourself , `` why has n't billy talked to me about any of this before ? `` phyllis : you know why ? because he would n't want to hurt me by showing me what an incredibly horrible person my daughter has become . summer : no . i 'm sorry . it 's because billy wants me , and he wants to be able to sleep with me behind your back . that is the illicit thrill that he ca n't resist . phyllis : really ? well , it 's over . that 's over right now , because you are so busted , so ... if you think that our relationship is ever gon na be the same after this -- summer : no , it is not over . because i am not giving up . not when i am this close to the prize . nikki : in the beginning , j.t . had us all fooled . [ sighs ] before he left genoa city years ago , he was a thoughtful , principled young man , determined to do right by his son . but then when he came back , he was a whole different person . he was angry . he was vindictive . his life had n't gone the way he had hoped it would , and he took a lot of anger out on victoria . nate : how ? nikki : it was subtle at first . he 'd say these things that would undermine her confidence . now , looking back on it , i can see that he was doing things that were very controlling . nate : he was emotionally abusive . nikki : eventually it became physical . nate : the thought of a man laying a hand on a woman to do her harm , it just ... nikki : hey , when i found out what was going on , the only thing i could think about was to protect my daughter , to keep her safe from this monster . i hate betraying her confidence right now , but i do n't know where else to turn . nate : so , the lie that you referred to -- nikki : you were asking me about her problems , and i covered them up . i realize now that that is n't doing anything . and she is just hanging on to so much anguish , which you can plainly see just by spending a few minutes with her . nate : listen , i am so sorry that you 're dealing with this . you and victoria . but i -- i do n't know what you want from me . i did a psych rotation in med school , okay , but i am no therapist . nikki : i realize that . i 'm just desperate . i ca n't bear to see my child suffer . she needs help , and she needs help now . every time i see her , she seems to be getting worse . victoria : [ sighs ] [ pen clatters ] paul : [ groans ] you dropped this . rey : thank you . paul : mind if i join you ? victoria : suit yourself . paul : you know , i really thought i 'd hear from you by now . victoria : why ? paul : well , i assumed that you would be interested in any update with j.t . yet you really have n't been in contact with the department once since i questioned you about his return . why is that ? phyllis : i - i ca n't believe it . i ca n't even believe that you 're gon na push this past the point of no return . you 're gon na be willing to destroy our relationship , yours and mine . just over . summer : no , no . do not give me that whole `` i am so hurt `` routine , not after you 've done such rotten things to people . phyllis : okay . okay . you can lash out at me all you want , but i am not the only one that 's gon na get hurt here . summer : oh , really ? really ? phyllis : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . billy . you are putting him in an impossible situation . not only personally , but legally . summer : why ? i 'm of age . phyllis : you work for the man indirectly . summer : no , this has nothing to do with work . phyllis : do you know the optics on this are just absolutely horrible , summer ? and then what you did with jack , you manipulated his feelings to try to get us back together , i mean , that wound up hurting him deeply . summer : i hurt jack 's feelings ? i did ? okay , then your memory must be either extremely short or hypocritical or both , honestly . phyllis : this -- th -- i am actually sick to my stomach listening to you as if there is nothing the least bit wrong with your own behavior . when i was married to jack , i knew -- i knew being with billy was the wrong thing . i agonized over it . but you , you are throwing yourself at a man who 's in a committed relationship like nothing 's wrong . i mean , where is your conscience ? summer : `` a committed relationship `` ? that is funny , mom ! so how committed were you , exactly , the night that you and dad decided to jump each other 's bones ? you know , at least i 'm not cheating on anyone . that puts me one up on the two of you . and also , while we 're at it , i never purposefully ran over anyone with my car . now , that -- that is twisted . would you like me to rehash any of the other crap that you 've pulled in the past , because i could go on and on , mom . phyllis : you know , i - i had absolutely no idea that you hated me this much . i want you to tell me something . [ voice breaking ] what did i do to cause this animosity in you ? summer : not everything is about you . phyllis : what are you talking about ? ! how is this not about me ? ! you are making an all - out play for the man i love . everything about this is about me ! who are you ? who are you right now ? summer : oh , my god . we 're not gon na play this song again , are we , mom ? really ? so none of what 's happened seems at all familiar to you ? a little lie here , a seductive play there . going for whatever man you feel like , and not letting anyone or anything get in your way . this ring any bells , mom ? does it ? you know , think -- think way back . think way back . 'cause i learned from the master herself , although i am nowhere near as messy as she is . phyllis : do you think you 're in the position to judge me ? the choices i 've made , the things that i have done to survive ? since the day you were born , everything has been given to you . you 've been princess newman . yeah . no . you have not had to struggle for a damn thing . summer : okay . so because i have n't had to struggle enough , my life just does n't count ? is that what you really think ? phyllis : you 're not hearing what i 'm telling you . you do n't know what it means to fight . [ summer scoffs ] you do n't know what it means to need to fight ! and , yes , i have done things in my life that i regret , but you are being vindictive and spiteful , and you do n't even have a hint of remorse . summer : my husband died . phyllis : uh - huh . summer : i have had my heart broken . i have been cheated on -- something that you have had little regard for at all up until right now . so suddenly it becomes a problem when it all comes to bite you in the ass . well , you know what , mom ? too bad . now it 's your turn to be the one that gets cheated on when billy decides to move forward with a woman that does n't bore him . oh , yeah . after a life of making other people miserable , this is what women like you get when you get old . karma comes a - knockin ' . and every ugly thing that you hate about me is a direct reflection of you . abby : so , do you think you 'll have any time to do some sight - seeing ? arturo : of commercial real estate , yeah , i 'm sure . [ chuckles ] you do know nick and i are not headed off on vacation , right ? abby : well , what about at night ? what are you gon na do to amuse yourself ? you know , nick is n't exactly a party animal . arturo : well , the hotel has to have a gym . and i 'm actually in the middle of a spy novel . and i can watch the movies you gave me . abby : that sounds thrilling . arturo : it would be if i had you there with me . come with me . abby : what ? no way . it 's a business trip . arturo : one that would be a lot more lively if i had your company in the evenings . and you work for dark horse , so ... abby : well , that 's very sweet , and i love that you asked me , but ... arturo : you 're turning me down anyway . abby : [ sighs ] i have work to do here . arturo : i understand . abby : hey , we 'll survive a few days apart . just about . but i do expect some high - quality video - chatting . arturo : mm . that sounds -- abby : that sounds what ? are you okay ? arturo : [ sighs ] turn around and go away . now . nikki : there will be times when she 's perfectly fine , and then all of a sudden she 'll snap and get very emotional . overreact to something that would normally not even phase her . nate : i 'm no expert , but from what you 're describing , it seems like victoria 's exhibiting signs of post - traumatic stress . nikki : oh , my god . nate : yeah . nikki : my son dylan suffered with that after his military service in afghanistan . to the point of flashbacks and hallucinations . nate : well , then , you know how serious this can be . nikki : yes . [ sighs ] whenever he would have an episode , it -- it was terrifying . not just for him , but for everybody around him . nate : and abuse by a partner can trigger similar reactions . i mean , sudden mood swings , sleep disturbances , panic attacks . i have seen it all before . and the worst part is , when the abuse stops , the survivor tries to push on without dealing with the underlying trauma . which seldom works for long . nikki : i 'm afraid that 's what my daughter is facing . nate : and again , not my area of specialization , okay ... but i think victoria should be seeing a therapist . nikki : no , she already is . unfortunately , it does n't seem to be doing much . nate : listen , i know a guy in madison . stellar background . md in psychiatry plus a phd in counseling . okay ? if you like , i can give you his contact info . this guy has a knack for getting people to open up about their innermost fears and secrets . nikki : thank you . thank you very much for that . but ... in this particular instance , that is not the answer . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley . hey . do n't ask any questions , but i 'm in billy 's office , going through his files . no evidence of any misappropriated funds yet . anything in particular i should be looking for ? okay . all right . i 'll keep you posted . phyllis : where you headed to now ? summer : where does it look like i 'm going ? to get the hell out of here . phyllis : to go tell billy about my mistake with nick ? summer : to get away from you . phyllis : is that so ? summer : yeah . you know what , mom , i can handle a lot , but i will not tolerate being slapped by your or anybody else . phyllis : think that 's garner some sympathy from billy ? you know , get a little convenient shoulder to cry on ? summer : i do n't need to tell billy about this or your little one - nighter . i can get him all on my own , no extra ammunition needed . phyllis : okay . you 're not gon na get too far without this , so ... summer : i can print up another one at the airport and still make it to billy 's hotel by tonight . phyllis : summer , you are setting yourself up for more pain and humiliation . nothing 's gon na happen out there , i can promise you that . summer : oh , so you think that billy 's gon na stay pure for you ? dream on . phyllis : you do this , and you will be very , very sorry . summer : i was wondering how long it was gon na take you to resort to threats . well , go ahead , mom . give me your worst . i 'm leaving . phyllis : [ crying ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nate : nikki , i wish i could help . i do . but victoria made it very clear that she wants me to keep my distance . and if i try to push , it may stress her out more . the opposite of what we want . nikki : she has always been fiercely independent . but after this thing with j.t . happened , [ sighs ] it 's just made her question her own judgment . she 's put up walls . now , if you can tear them down , i 'm sure that you can earn her trust , and then you could get somewhere . nikki : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . that is out of the question . god , i hate that i did n't realize what was going on sooner , before everything spun out of control . nikki : nate , please . you have to find a way . help my daughter . however you can . paul : here you go . victoria : thanks . paul : no problem . now , how about answering my question ? victoria : i do n't like what you 're insinuating . paul : look , victoria , i 'm -- i 'm not here to hassle you . i mean , j.t . put you through enough , and the last thing i want to do is make things worse for you . but it is frustrating . he was here in town , and we were n't able to make an arrest . victoria : look , i 'm just relieved that he 's gone . again . not just for dad 's sake , but for mine . if i have n't checked in , you 'll just have to forgive me for wanting to forget that j.t . hellstrom even exists . paul : that would be a lot easier for you to do if he was locked safely behind bars . victoria : [ sighs ] i wish that was possible . i mean , you 're right . i would love that . paul : why would n't it be possible ? victoria : look , i do n't really have a lot of faith in the department these days . i 'm sorry , but that 's how i feel . he left a trail of credit - card receipts , and you could n't even bust him . that 's inexcusable . so now , if you do n't mind -- paul : i am truly sorry that we have n't found j.t . yet . or figured out what happened to him . summer : whatever you 're having , make mine a double . kyle : should n't you be on your way to the airport by now ? summer : yeah , my flight 's delayed . but i still plan on making it . after what i just dealt with , i am more motivated than ever . kyle : why ? what happened ? summer : well , my mom found my boarding pass , so she flipped out on me , and then she hauled off and slapped me . kyle : whoa . seriously ? summer : yep . we got into it . and it 's way past time if you ask me . kyle : okay , so , you fought . you 're all fired up . i -- i understand you want to get even , but you only have one mom . summer : yeah , thank god . kyle : all i 'm saying , maybe you should re - think your plans with billy while you can still salvage things with your mom . summer : it 's too late . she crossed the line , and there is no going back now . arturo : what are you doing here ? rey : what do you think ? arturo : not in the mood to play guessing games . abby : will one of you please tell me what 's going on ? arturo : you 're better off not knowing . rey : ah , you 're still hiding , i see . arturo : life 's too short . come on . let 's go . rey : no , no , no . you 're not -- you 're not running away from me . arturo : oh , i 'm not running . i just have much better places to be . abby : is this why we left the coffeehouse so abruptly , because you saw him there , too ? arturo : believe me , you do not want to hear him chew me out yet again . it 's a losing battle . rey : well , you 've deserved every chewing - out you 've ever gotten since you were a little kid . abby : wait , how long have you two known each other ? who are you ? rey : since arturito here has no manners ... allow me to introduce myself . i 'm rey rosales . his older brother . phyllis : [ slams tea kettle ] [ sighs ] hi . it 's me . i need a huge favor . it 's an emergency . i 'll make it worth your while . victoria : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] nikki : hey . is now a good time ? victoria : [ sighs ] sure . on second thought , no . please . both of you , please leave . nikki : honey , nate is only here because i insisted . victoria : even after i made my position clear ? nate : i relayed your feelings on the subject . victoria : mm . apparently not well enough . nikki : he has helped me tremendously , victoria . victoria : great . then let him treat you . i 'm glad that nate is helping you with your m.s . but i am not sick . nikki : all right . you 're not gon na like this , but please listen to me . i told him about your ordeal with j.t . victoria : you did what ? ! nikki : just calm down and try to understand . you can deny it all you want , but i am your mother , and you are not yourself . nate is an excellent doctor . he 's very discreet . victoria : mom , you had no right ! nikki : sweetheart , you have to do something -- victoria : mom , this is my private and personal information , not to be shared with anyone ! what if i shared your dark secrets with the world ? would you like that , mom ? abby : you do kind of look alike . arturo : [ scoffs ] if that 's true , it 's the only thing we have in common . rey : oh , that 's funny coming from you . you really think we 've shared nothing ? arturo : you want to take this outside ? abby : whoa , whoa , whoa ! okay . whatever this is about , do n't start throwing punches , okay ? look , believe me , being a newman and an abbott , no one knows more about complicated family drama . arturo : abby , baby , i 'm sorry , but i need you to stay out of this . rey : abby ? that 's a very pretty name . i 'm assuming you 're my brother 's new girlfriend . abby : as a matter of fact -- arturo : yes , she is . abby : ... i am . rey : well , i 'm sorry if -- if my kid brother and i are making you feel uncomfortable . arturo : no . no , that would just be you , buddy . rey : i 've spent most of my life running around , cleaning up arturo 's messes . arturo : hmph . is that what you 're doing here ? after two years , you still trying to look after me ? rey : no , man . i was done with you a long time ago . arturo : mm . i 'm out of here . you coming ? abby : it 's nice to meet you . summer : she called me delusional and vicious and -- and nasty . and then , without warning , she smacks me . i swear to god , kyle , i saw stars . i am amazed that it did n't leave a mark . kyle : phyllis probably just reacted in the moment . summer : i have never been hit like that before , ever . so for my own mom to get violent with me because she ca n't accept some hard truths -- kyle : this is insane . you want my car that bad , take it . i 'll buy another one . summer : what are you even saying -- kyle : i 'm willing to concede the bet if you cancel your trip . go back to phyllis . try to make peace before it 's too late . summer : this is about more than some stupid bet , kyle . kyle : clearly . you have an ax to grind with your mom . phyllis : not everything is about my mom . why is it so hard for you to believe that billy and i could actually be something ? kyle : he 'd be the first to tell you he 's wrecked every relationship he 's ever been in . and if he 'd cheat on the woman he supposedly loves with her own daughter , how can you expect a better outcome ? you 're not gon na change him , if that 's what you 're thinking . summer : okay . so he 's messed up a few times . who has n't ? it 's because billy goes and he takes risks . he 's taking that leap while everyone else is too busy sitting on the sidelines playing it safe . kyle : one of these days , he 'll gamble too big . and that leap will bring him down for good . summer : you have no idea what you are talking about . i have seen billy gamble . he is a gladiator at the poker table . this one time , it was down to him and this sinead woman , and she bet her house in catalina , and billy did n't bat an eye . so he anted up the jaboat . and when he lost ? no reaction . did n't even break a sweat . kyle : billy lost the company 's boat in a card game ? summer : yes , and then he won enough money to buy it back . and it was hot as hell . and that is the kind of guy that billy is , and nobody seems to get that . [ cellphone chimes ] oh , my god . this is a game changer . abby : finally . we can enjoy a farewell drink in peace . arturo : [ sighs ] yeah . i 'm really sorry we 've had the day we had . abby : well , i 'd feel a lot less weird about the whole thing if you would explain what the deal is with you and rey . arturo : mm , just [ sighs ] family issues . you know , sibling stuff . abby : i figured . arturo : to be honest , i really do n't want to talk about it anymore . abby : arturo , i -- arturo : look , abby , i know that you 'd probably get this better than most people , but i just want to drop it . okay ? can -- can we do that ? to be honest , my biggest regret is , the whole thing ruined our time together . abby : well , i 'm more concerned with how it affected you . arturo : [ sighs ] abby : you 're trying to downplay it , but i have eyes . and clearly there 's some major thing with you and your brother . what is it ? arturo : abby , i do not want to talk about it -- abby : yeah , you do n't want to talk about it , but i do . arturo : just forget about rey , okay ? he 'll be gone soon , if he 's not already . actually , i have to , uh -- i have to meet up with nick . i promise to stay in touch with you every day while i 'm gone , okay ? abby : okay . arturo : in the meantime , this will have to hold you over . abby : hurry back . arturo : okay . abby : i mean it . arturo : okay . i miss you already . victoria : i 'm perfectly healthy . i do n't need a doctor or any other kind of medical intervention . nikki : nate has been loyal to our family , and he will never repeat anything i said to him . victoria : mom , you had no right sharing it in the first place . nate : i knew that you would not welcome this visit . and for the record , i do n't need any more details about what went down with you and j.t . but if you need a little assistance through this rough time , i can give you a thorough physical . i can offer techniques to help you sleep , de - stress , or i can just be someone for you to vent to . victoria : how many times do i have to say it ? i 'm fine . nikki : sweetheart , please consider -- victoria : look ! thank you , everybody . thank you so much for the help . but no thanks . i 'm not gon na be some victim curled up in the corner weeping , all right ? i 'm strong . i 'm strong , mom . i will live to fight another day . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have a lot of work to do . kyle : `` change in plans . i did n't go to philly . meet me on board the boat . i need to see you tonight . billy . `` summer : heh . i knew it . billy wants me just as much as i want him . i thought it would take a little bit more work than this , but this just makes it that much sweeter . kyle : summer , do n't do this . please . summer : i 'm sorry , dude . i won the bet . you lost . phyllis : see ya , sweetie . enjoy your cruise . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... phyllis : what 's going on with you and my daughter ? ashley : we have to wait , monitor the company 's finances , and any direction that billy takes towards them . kyle : why wait for him to mess up ? we can make it happen . sharon : what exactly are you doing here in genoa city ? rey : i 'm here because of j.t . hellstrom .Summarize.[/INST]paul asked victoria why she had n't sought an update on the police department 's search for jt . victoria said she wanted to forget jt ever existed . nikki told nate about the abuse victoria suffered , and some of victoria 's concerning behavior . nate speculated that victoria was suffering from ptsd . nikki convinced nate to try and help victoria . victoria was angry with nikki for disclosing her personal information . victoria insisted that she was fine , and she showed nate and nikki the door . rey and arturo had a tense reunion . abby learned that rey was arturo 's estranged older brother . abby pressed arturo to tell her what happened between him and rey , but arturo refused to talk about it . arturo left for his business trip with nick . phyllis confronted summer about her plan to seduce billy . summer admitted she wanted billy and was unremorseful . summer said this was karmic retribution for phyllis 's misdeeds , and phyllis slapped her . summer left , determined to sleep with billy . kyle offered to give summer his car if she 'd drop her pursuit of billy , but she refused . phyllis lured summer onto jaboat , by faking a text from billy that asked summer to meet him on the yacht .</s> | 17,899 |

[ smooching ] i am never gon na take this for granted . enjoy every moment of it . but i 'll tell you something . it 's hard living in the moment when you 're all grown up . [ sighs ] brooke : you know i would do anything to feel like sisters again . katie : not while my husband is living with you . and that 's what he still is , brooke . no imaginary permission from some court order or from a heartbroken , deceived wife can ever make this okay . brooke : i understand . but it happened . katie : my question is why is it still happening ? brooke : what do you want , katie ? do you want bill to be alone and miserable for the rest of his life ? katie : i just do n't want him with you . i mean , where do you see this going ? do you think you 're gon na marry him ? brooke : [ scoffs ] i do n't know , okay ? the damage is already done , and the only thing we can do right now is to make sure there 's not going to be more of it . katie : [ laughing ] oh , my god , you do . you do , do n't you ? you have turned this into a storybook romance , where you and bill can overcome any obstacle , even his pesky wife , who just happens to be your baby sister . brooke : i understand you want to hurt me . katie : no , i do n't . i want to love you . but you wo n't let me . you 're too selfish . brooke : bill is his own person . he comes and goes as he pleases . so , how can i promise to you what he 's going to be doing ? i ca n't , katie . the future is unknown , and we have to accept that . katie : this is n't about bill . it 's about you . and the future is plain as day . you and bill straining for happily ever after . and you think i should accept that ? never ! | brooke asks katie how was her trip . katie replies that it was n't exactly a vacation . and she is sure that brooke already knows since bill had her followed . brooke says he did that because he was concerned that she was not coming back . katie says okay so she hires surveillance and it is criminal but if bill does it is concern . brooke is happy she is here and she is hopeful . she can face anything except katie turning her back on her for good . katie asks brooke to please put some clothes on . brooke reminds her that she is in her own bedroom and that katie dropped in unannounced so if she has something to say just say it . there really is n't anything that she does n't already know . katie says ok , but that 's not true . she 'd like to know just how long this little situation is going to last . brooke feigns innocence of what katie means . katie spells it out . how long is bill going to be staying with brooke .is he living here or just staying until he finds his own place . brooke is not sure why katie even cares since she has said over and over that she is through with bill . katie says she cares because brooke keeps saying she wants to rebuild their relationship . yet she is not sure how brooke can do that while she offers her husband a permanent place in her home and her bed . brooke reminds her that bill did not contest the divorce and he gave her everything she wanted . katie took his job and kicked him out of the house . she 'd like to know when all of this stops . katie says it stops when she does n't have to think of them being together . brooke wonders if that will fix it .if she just leaves bill too . katie says at least she wo n't have to visualize them with bill 's hands on her , his mouth on her , her smell on him . brooke reminds her that she has been having that visual long before they were even together . she made it happen , she threw them together . katie says they know now that she was sick . what is brooke 's excuse ? her intentions do n't matter ; it 's her actions that matter . katie says she can tell her how to at least start , but brooke is not interested in that . she compares brooke to a thief who is sorry she got caught , but has no intentions of giving back the goods . suddenly it dawns on brooke katie wants bill back . this is what this is all about . bill starts to put will down for a nap when liam walks in . bill grouses that the house is not set up right . what 's wrong is that it should have a room for two parents and not one parent in two rooms . liam wonders if he has said these things to katie . bill says not now but more times than he can count when they were married . you ca n't stay in a relationship when one ca n't keep a commitment . liam says some folks would say the same thing about him . bill tells him do not let anyone guilt - trip him about staying with the woman who was carrying his child . liam says he knows but sometimes when you make a commitment you break another . bill says he hopes hope is not shaming him about the past when they are about to get married . liam says no , it 's just there and it is weighing on him .. especially now that she is in mexico with wyatt . | <s>[INST] brooke : so , how was your trip ? katie : well , it was n't exactly a vacation , and i 'm sure you know all about it since bill had my followed . brooke : he was concerned . he was n't sure when you 'd be back . katie : so , when i do surveillance , it 's criminal , but when bill does it , it 's concern ? bill : everything okay in here ? brooke : yeah , we 're fine . are n't we , katie ? will : [ crying ] bill : i 'm gon na go put him down . hope : what does this mean ? wyatt : i do n't know . i only know california spanish . abierto , cerrado , mojito . hope : seriously ! really , i would look it up , but i ca n't . the pilot turned off the wi - fi for landing . wyatt : look , ricardo only needs two things from us . first , to know that his diamond is safe . hope : and we can promise him that . wyatt : and second , to love the company that it 'll be keeping . bill : how 's your ba - ba , huh ? oh , i missed you .

[ sighs ] brooke : you know i would do anything to feel like sisters again . katie : not while my husband is living with you . and that 's what he still is , brooke . no imaginary permission from some court order or from a heartbroken , deceived wife can ever make this okay . brooke : i understand . but it happened . katie : my question is why is it still happening ? brooke : what do you want , katie ? do you want bill to be alone and miserable for the rest of his life ? katie : i just do n't want him with you . i mean , where do you see this going ? do you think you 're gon na marry him ? brooke : [ scoffs ] i do n't know , okay ? the damage is already done , and the only thing we can do right now is to make sure there 's not going to be more of it . katie : [ laughing ] oh , my god , you do . you do , do n't you ? you have turned this into a storybook romance , where you and bill can overcome any obstacle , even his pesky wife , who just happens to be your baby sister . brooke : i understand you want to hurt me . katie : no , i do n't . i want to love you . but you wo n't let me . you 're too selfish . brooke : bill is his own person . he comes and goes as he pleases . so , how can i promise to you what he 's going to be doing ? i ca n't , katie . the future is unknown , and we have to accept that . katie : this is n't about bill . it 's about you . and the future is plain as day . you and bill straining for happily ever after . and you think i should accept that ? never !Summarize.[/INST]brooke asks katie how was her trip . katie replies that it was n't exactly a vacation . and she is sure that brooke already knows since bill had her followed . brooke says he did that because he was concerned that she was not coming back . katie says okay so she hires surveillance and it is criminal but if bill does it is concern . brooke is happy she is here and she is hopeful . she can face anything except katie turning her back on her for good . katie asks brooke to please put some clothes on . brooke reminds her that she is in her own bedroom and that katie dropped in unannounced so if she has something to say just say it . there really is n't anything that she does n't already know . katie says ok , but that 's not true . she 'd like to know just how long this little situation is going to last . brooke feigns innocence of what katie means . katie spells it out . how long is bill going to be staying with brooke .is he living here or just staying until he finds his own place . brooke is not sure why katie even cares since she has said over and over that she is through with bill . katie says she cares because brooke keeps saying she wants to rebuild their relationship . yet she is not sure how brooke can do that while she offers her husband a permanent place in her home and her bed . brooke reminds her that bill did not contest the divorce and he gave her everything she wanted . katie took his job and kicked him out of the house . she 'd like to know when all of this stops . katie says it stops when she does n't have to think of them being together . brooke wonders if that will fix it .if she just leaves bill too . katie says at least she wo n't have to visualize them with bill 's hands on her , his mouth on her , her smell on him . brooke reminds her that she has been having that visual long before they were even together . she made it happen , she threw them together . katie says they know now that she was sick . what is brooke 's excuse ? her intentions do n't matter ; it 's her actions that matter . katie says she can tell her how to at least start , but brooke is not interested in that . she compares brooke to a thief who is sorry she got caught , but has no intentions of giving back the goods . suddenly it dawns on brooke katie wants bill back . this is what this is all about . bill starts to put will down for a nap when liam walks in . bill grouses that the house is not set up right . what 's wrong is that it should have a room for two parents and not one parent in two rooms . liam wonders if he has said these things to katie . bill says not now but more times than he can count when they were married . you ca n't stay in a relationship when one ca n't keep a commitment . liam says some folks would say the same thing about him . bill tells him do not let anyone guilt - trip him about staying with the woman who was carrying his child . liam says he knows but sometimes when you make a commitment you break another . bill says he hopes hope is not shaming him about the past when they are about to get married . liam says no , it 's just there and it is weighing on him .. especially now that she is in mexico with wyatt .</s> | 514 |

devon : yeah , i do . i do , nate . nate : okay . devon : you do n't think that hilary 's gon na make it , which is n't the same as being sure . so there 's a chance that she could make it through this , even if you have to do something drastic . nate : i am afraid we 're all out of options . and that is not something i say lightly . devon : okay , then do n't say it . nate : i 've been as aggressive as i know how addressing this complication . devon : this is a clotting issue , you said , right ?

nate : that 's not up to me . you got to make every moment count . i 'll give you two some time . devon : nate . um , i do n't want hilary to know about this . nate : i hope you rethink that . because every patient deserves to know the truth . gives them time to put their affairs in order , make amends , and say their goodbyes . devon : i understand what you 're saying , but if there is even a 1 % chance that hilary can make it through this , then i do n't want to take that hope away from her 'cause she needs to stay strong and she needs to fight . and who knows ?

[ sniffles ] hello ? speaking . um , when ? yeah . okay , uh ... i 'll be there . thank you . uh , that was officer schultz , from the police department . they want to talk to me about the accident . devon : when we got back together this last time ... i admit that it was because of the baby . but it 's turned into so much more than that . hilary : i 'm so glad . devon : you and i are destined to be together . we 've always been . i just want to be with you all the time , and even when we 're apart , i can still feel the love between us because it 's that strong . hilary : i know exactly what you mean . devon : and i 'm not just talking about lust or anything like that , even though you are the most beautiful woman that i have ever laid eyes on in my life . hilary : well ... devon : but you 're so much more than that . i love your mind . i 'm in love with it . and your confidence . and your heart . and the way you never quit , no matter what . even when i was trying to push you away , you never quit on us . having a child with you would be incredible . but it 's not everything . because you 're everything . you are my everything . which is why i want you to be my wife again as soon as possible . hilary : [ gasps ] devon , as soon as i can get out of here , that would be amazing . devon : no . no , no , no , honey . i want to marry you right away . i want it to be this week . hilary : you -- you want to marry me in the hospital ? devon : yes , i do . hilary , you 've changed my life . and i just want to be by your side , and i want you and the rest of the world to know that that 's where i 'll always belong . hilary : devon ... devon : i want to help you recover as your husband . we can make it official , and then have a big party to celebrate with everyone when you 're out of here and you 're feeling better . hilary : oh ... that would be great . [ gasps ] devon , i ... devon : i went to fenmore 's when i left earlier to try and find you the most beautiful ring that i could . hilary : um ... yeah , that is , without a doubt , the most beautiful ring i 've ever seen . devon : i 'm glad that you think so . hilary : okay . what are you waiting for ? put it on my finger . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : [ laughs ] | nate told devon that there were no medical treatments that could save hilary . nate talked about losing the love of his life . devon decided to keep hilary in the dark about her prognosis because he was afraid she 'd stop fighting if she knew the doctors felt there was no hope . devon told lily about hilary 's condition . lily apologized to hilary and they buried their grudge . hilary noticed that nate would n't give her a straight answer about her prognosis . jack and mariah visited hilary . cane told charlie to stay away from shauna because she was a bad influence . charlie sneaked off to see her anyway . shauna felt too guilty to visit hilary . charlie urged shauna to face her problems and go visit hilary . hilary assumed devon would leave her now that the baby was n't holding them together . devon proposed to hilary , and she accepted . he told her he wanted to get married right away , while she was in the hospital . mariah confronted tessa about hugging another woman . tessa explained that the woman was just an acquaintance who helped her locate her fugitive sister , crystal . tessa planned to leave town to be with her sister . a police officer called lily to discuss the accident . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] sharon : i forgot to ask how your date went last night . mariah : it was great . awesome . perfect . until tessa snuck off to be with another girl . lily : charlie would never do this unless shauna pushed for it . i did not raise my son that way ! hilary : oh ! charlie : stop ! both of you ! look , she 's gone . hilary : what ? where did ... charlie : you were both so busy arguing you did n't notice how upset she was ! look , i have to find her . lily : wait , charlie ! hilary : [ groans ] ugh , i am so sick of you and your sanctimonious crap ! you acting like you and your little family is so perfect ! devon : were you hooking up ? that 's what set off this whole nightmare that i 'm living right now , is you guys hooking up ? nate : i 'm so sorry , devon . you 're gon na have to prepare yourself . i do n't think hilary 's gon na make it . mariah : welcome back to a special live edition of gc buzz . on the break , i had a chance to look at our website , and i was overwhelmed by what i saw . thousands of you reached out with your love , your support , and your best wishes for a speedy recovery . i was truly moved by what i saw , and i know that hilary will be , too . there was so much love shining from every word , and that is exactly what hilary needs . i know that it 'll make all the difference for her . it has to . nate : do you understand what i just told you ? devon : yeah , i do . i do , nate . nate : okay . devon : you do n't think that hilary 's gon na make it , which is n't the same as being sure . so there 's a chance that she could make it through this , even if you have to do something drastic . nate : i am afraid we 're all out of options . and that is not something i say lightly . devon : okay , then do n't say it . nate : i 've been as aggressive as i know how addressing this complication . devon : this is a clotting issue , you said , right ? nate : yes . devon : that 's a common thing , okay ? there has to be a protocol or an experimental trial or something that you can do . nate : there is n't , okay ? there is n't , and i 'm sorry . listen , barring a miracle that goes beyond medicine , nothing and no one can save her . mariah : many of you on social media have reached out and asked what you can do to help out hilary . on our website , there 's information on how to donate blood and what types are needed most . mattie : i like that idea . as soon as we get to memorial , i 'll head straight down to the blood bank . even if i 'm not a match for hilary , i 'll feel like i 'm at least doing my part . lily : all right , come on . let 's finish up and get to the hospital . devon and hilary need our support . charlie : [ sighs ] devon : i need a solution , nate . i need you to tell me that she can have another surgery that can help her . nate : i wish i could give you the answers you want to hear . i do , but i can't . devon : then what can you do ? what can we do right now for her ? nate : enjoy the time you have left together . make every moment count . not that long ago , i was in your shoes . i heard the same exact words about the love of my life . `` there is n't any hope , we 've done all we can do . `` listen , i did n't want to hear it , either , but there comes a time when you have to stop denying reality and accept what is , or you will miss out on one of the most profound experiences two human beings will ever share . i 'm glad i knew . it made my final hours with carolyn all that much more meaningful . we laughed together . we cried together . and we were at peace . together . there was nothing left unsaid between us . and later -- much later -- and that 's okay , too , that it may bring you some comfort . now , there are n't any words that i 'm gon na say or anybody else that 's gon na make this easier for you , but you lean on family . and you let them support you . and i will do everything humanly possible to make sure that hilary feels no pain . devon : how much time does she have ? nate : that 's not up to me . you got to make every moment count . i 'll give you two some time . devon : nate . um , i do n't want hilary to know about this . nate : i hope you rethink that . because every patient deserves to know the truth . gives them time to put their affairs in order , make amends , and say their goodbyes . devon : i understand what you 're saying , but if there is even a 1 % chance that hilary can make it through this , then i do n't want to take that hope away from her 'cause she needs to stay strong and she needs to fight . and who knows ? maybe we might get that miracle that you 're talking about . nate : whatever the two of you need , i 'm here . devon : thank you . nate : all right . additional sponsorship jack : well , hello there . you 're looking well . how are things in the land of mediocrity ?

'cause i ca n't tell you all the terrible , awful things that were swirling around in my head . but it 's good to know that you 're not two - timing me . tessa : i 'm glad to know that i can set your mind at ease . mariah : so what happens now ? i mean ... between us . tessa : okay , um ... i thought about this from a million different ways , and it always comes back to the same thing . crystal ca n't come back to genoa city or she 'll get arrested . which means i have to leave town because i have to be with my sister , and there 's no other way . cane : mattie went to the cafeteria . do you want me to text her and ask her to bring you something ? sweetheart . you have to stop feeling so guilty , okay ? lily : how am i supposed to do that ? cane : look , i know you were driving the car , but , baby , what happened was an accident , and you did n't mean to hurt anybody . lily : when devon said that hilary 's dying , and ... there 's nothing they can do , my mind just exploded .

[ scene_break ] téa : uh , let -- let me get this straight . your roommate gets a girl pregnant , then helps her perpetrate the lie that it 's another man 's child , all to hold on to a girlfriend that might otherwise dump him . rachel : right . téa : uh - huh . but the timing 's off . the only way the lie holds up is if the baby is born prematurely . so schuyler swipes this from the hospital to administer to his partner in crime ? rachel : i do n't know if that 's exactly what happened . téa : okay , but you did find this empty vial in his bag after greg told you that he showed up at the hospital with a premature baby ? rachel : i know how this looks , i do , but schuy is a good person . he could n't have gone through with it . there 's no way he would have knowingly jeopardized a baby 's life . téa : i bet a few months ago , you would have said he 'd never knowingly deny paternity of his own child . maybe you do n't know this guy as well as you think you do . [ scene_break ] schuyler : okay . all right . i made a mistake . i made a mistake . i messed up , but i honestly , honestly thought that i was doing the right thing for everyone . gigi : how was it right for me ? schuyler : because i saw what you went through when rex slept with your sister . i saw how much his betrayal hurt you ; i saw how much you did n't want to look at him . gigi : and you did n't want me to look at you the same way . schuyler : no . gigi : you were thinking about what you wanted , what you needed , not me , and definitely not that poor sick baby . schuyler : gigi , i did n't want to give up the baby , but i did n't want to give up you , either . gigi : what ? ! schuyler : rex -- rex already made a commitment to stacy and the baby before any -- gigi : your baby ! your baby ! schuyler : i thought everything would be okay . gigi : okay ? how -- how is it okay to let rex think that he was having a baby that was n't his ? schuyler : gigi -- gigi -- gigi : how is it okay to watch another man raise your child ?

[ scene_break ] schuyler : i kept coming up with reasons why i was doing the right thing . i told myself that if rex and stacy would find a way to make it work with the baby , i told myself that you and i were in love and we 'd be together forever and we 'd have kids of our own someday . gigi : and what would happen to the baby that you already had ? schuyler : i thought i could keep an eye on her from a distance . i already knew rex was a good dad . i thought he 'd do right by sierra rose , too . and besides , i 'd always be nearby if anything bad ever happened . gigi : something bad did happen , schuyler . she almost died on that mountain because of you . [ scene_break ] rachel : assuming everything you said was true , that schuy did steal the oxytocin from the hospital and used it to help this girl have the baby early , what kind of trouble would he be in ? téa : well , it depends on the baby 's condition . rachel : i 'm not sure . all greg said was that schuy came into the hospital with a preemie . téa : worst case scenario -- if the baby is in crisis or if , god forbid , the baby dies , if schuyler gave the mother that drug to deliver the baby early , he could be facing murder charges . [ scene_break ] kim : i was so relieved to find stacy at that cabin safe . she was sore and tired . she had just given birth , but my girl was okay . and the baby , she was being taken to the hospital . it was a total miracle . you should have seen this cabin . clint : i have . it belongs to my ex - wife viki . so i 've been there plenty of times . kim : there 's nothing wrong with it . it 's just -- clint : just no place to give birth , certainly not in the middle of a snowstorm . kim : but she did it . because stacy is a survivor , because she can do anything . clint : oh , kim , you do n't have to do this right now . kim : i left her for one second , just one second . and when i came back , she was gone . but she was so worried about the baby , she went out to look for her , and then she ended up falling into a frozen lake . by the time i got there , she was gone . my best friend is dead , and it 's all my fault . clint : it 's not your fault . it was an accident . kim : no , you do n't know everything . kim 's voice : so this is how it 's gon na go ? you 're gon na get your hands on some oxytocin , you 're gon na give it to stacy . we 're all gon na live happily ever after . kim : if i had done things differently , stacy might never have gone up that mountain in the first place . clint : now , listen to me . stacy did not just go up that mountain . mitch laurence kidnapped her . kim : i know . but ... clint : what ? whatever it is , kimberly , you can tell me . [ scene_break ] roxy : schuyler joplin knocked stacy up ? after i gave a roof to that evil snake , he goes after gigi ? wait a minute . did anyone tell gigi ? rex : yeah , she knows . roxy : hallelujah . i feel like dancing . bring your squeeze back home . shane : that 's what i said , but he wo n't listen . roxy : right . well , what is the matter with you ? come on . you got to listen to me . smarty 's smarter than you are . go bring your girl back home . [ scene_break ] gigi : you -- you knew that psychopath mitch laurence wanted rex 's baby for himself ? oh ! you knew that he would n't have wanted anything to do with sierra rose if he found out she was n't his grandchild ? he would have left stacy alone ! how could you ? schuyler : all right . calm down . gigi : how could you know and you did n't stop it ? how could you do this ? how could you keep quiet ? how could you put your baby 's life in danger , huh ? you let this happen to stacy ! my sister is dead because of you ! [ scene_break ] kim : i do n't know if i can say it . clint : whatever it is you think you did , you can tell me . kim : i ... i let stacy out of my sight . clint : she was a grown woman . kim : i was fresh off childbirth and totally out of it . stacy would be still alive if i had n't -- clint : okay , okay . i am not gon na stand here and let you blame yourself for stacy 's death because it 's not true , and it certainly wo n't bring her back . and now you have something far more important to focus on ... stacy 's baby . kim : what do you mean ? clint : well , that little girl is now gon na rely on you to tell her all the wonderful things about her mother . kim : it 's not fair . clint : i know it 's not . kim : stacy 's baby should be growing up with stacy , not hearing about her from me . now she 'll only have my word that her mother was n't a total bitch . okay , sometimes , stace was a total bitch , but there was more to her than that , and anybody who took two minutes to see past her pasties and her g - string knew that . stacy fell in love with sierra rose , and nobody knew it but me . [ scene_break ] roxy : what ? what are you waiting for ? it 's not like stacy 's hanging around . shane : and mom 's not gon na want schuyler anymore . rex : just stop , okay ? we all want gigi back , but she just lost her sister , and her niece is having an operation that could kill her . roxy : what ? what 's wrong with the baby ? rex : it 's her heart . she 's got a rare defect that 's making her really sick . shane : but they 're gon na fix her , right ? rex : well , they 're gon na do everything they can . but you understand , right now is not the time for me to get into gigi 's face . roxy : why not ? i mean , it 's not like you have to give her a hard sell about the two of you being together , which -- you know , you 're a perfect couple , but , listen . she needs a shoulder to lean on , so she should n't be waiting on that baby alone . rex : she 's not . roxy : who 's she with , schuyler ? shane : just what mom needs . rex : can you watch shane while i -- roxy : no , no , no . you go and you find her . i 'm good here , totally . shane : dad ? when you see mom , tell her i 'm sorry about aunt stacy . rex : i will .

[ scene_break ] schuyler : i kept coming up with reasons why i was doing the right thing . i told myself that if rex and stacy would find a way to make it work with the baby , i told myself that you and i were in love and we 'd be together forever and we 'd have kids of our own someday . gigi : and what would happen to the baby that you already had ? schuyler : i thought i could keep an eye on her from a distance . i already knew rex was a good dad . i thought he 'd do right by sierra rose , too . and besides , i 'd always be nearby if anything bad ever happened . gigi : something bad did happen , schuyler . she almost died on that mountain because of you . [ scene_break ] rachel : assuming everything you said was true , that schuy did steal the oxytocin from the hospital and used it to help this girl have the baby early , what kind of trouble would he be in ? téa : well , it depends on the baby 's condition . rachel : i 'm not sure . all greg said was that schuy came into the hospital with a preemie . téa : worst case scenario -- if the baby is in crisis or if , god forbid , the baby dies , if schuyler gave the mother that drug to deliver the baby early , he could be facing murder charges .

jill : [ chuckles ] according to some people , i have no control where fenmore 's needed the money , and jafenmore 's needed the money , and jabot only bought 49 % , so at least you and lauren still maintain control . jill : [ chuckles ] according to some people , i have no control where fenmore 's is concerned . do you know that lauren did n't even consult me on this ? cane : why did n't you ask her to ? jill : i did , cane . and she told me that she had just everything handled ! selling our legacy is handled ? ! colin : listen , do n't get yourself riled up . stress is bad for you . jill : yeah , i 'll tell you what stresses me out is when my sister does a multi- million - dollar deal and she leaves me out of it . colin : look , i can understand it 's upsetting . jill : yeah , well , it 's all over the news ! the whole world knew about it before i did ! colin : look , we discussed last night that when choosing battles , it might be best to walk away from this one . jill : darling , you discussed and i listened . i will not walk away from this fight ! jack : thank you all for coming on such short notice . i wo n't take too much of your time . this is a tremendous moment for these two companies , both with equally rich histories , both based here in genoa city , both founded by extraordinary men whose legacies their children cherish to this day . the road to this moment has not been an easy one . [ cell phone vibrates ] jack : but how we got here no longer matters . what is important now is that we are all on the same side . gloria : call me back , jack , immediately . mariah : hey . have you seen the reactions to last night 's show ? hilary : uh ... mariah : what am i talking about ? of course you have . you live for the praise of millions . hilary : was there praise ? mariah : yeah , listen . `` gc buzzed a rip in the space - time continuum , swallowed up the mean hilary , and spat out twice the buzz . # doublebuzzisbetter . hilary : they like us . i 'm glad that it worked out . mariah : like us ? this is stanning . you know , as in stan , hardcore fan . do you even go on the internet ? anyway , after they got over the fact that you made me faceplant on live tv , you are getting major love for owning up and apologizing . hilary : nice . mariah : you know , it was an excellent move on your part . you really know how to work this tv thing . hilary : that 's it ? that 's all that you have to say ? mariah : did you miss the part where i gave you like three compliments ? hilary : no , i - i missed the part where you accepted my apology . mariah : why should i ? hilary : what is it gon na take ? if saying i 'm sorry on live tv is n't enough -- mariah : you really expect me to believe that that apology was for me ? hilary : it was . mariah : that apology was designed for one person and one person only -- devon . devon : all right , sounds good . see you then . neil : hey , hey . we still on for breakfast ? devon : yeah , absolutely . i just , uh , let me make a note for these , uh , interviews . neil : what interview ? devon : uh , prospective managers to replace lily . neil : i thought lily would be handling that . devon : yeah , she normally would , but she 's busy with fittings and photo shoots for her new gig at brash & sassy . neil : okay , but what about an assistant or somebody to handle that for her ? devon : i , uh , i do n't need to . this is my place , and i want to do things . neil : so putting hilary back on the gc buzz last night , was that your decision ? devon : yes , it was . neil : and the apology for what she did to mariah ? devon : that was all hilary . and it was the last thing that i ever expected . neil : uh - huh . and did that change things for you ? victoria : i had no idea that this was in the works , did you ? billy : kind of . phyllis mentioned it . victoria : so , um , how did phyllis know ? are she and jack ... ? billy : why would you jump to them being back together ? victoria : i was just wondering if they had gotten to the point where they 're being civil again , that 's all . billy : okay , uh , i 'm not 100 % sure , but i know that phyllis and lauren , you know , get along , they 're friendly , so phyllis and lauren are working together . as far as jack and phyllis , i do n't think my brother would be her pick as an investor . victoria : well , lauren must have thought that jack had something to offer that the other investors would n't . billy : i 'm sure jack cornered her and made it so that she could n't walk away from the deal . victoria : well , jabot 's doing great . he does n't want or need anything from anybody . billy : that 's exactly the point . jabot is at the top of the heap . jack wants to make sure that he 's known as the king of genoa city . whatever . um , you want to look at those samples ? victoria : yeah , are they ready ? billy : they are . i 'll get them . victoria : do n't you think it 's a little weird that jill has n't said anything about this ? billy : she probably does n't know . if she did , we would hear about it because jill do n't do quiet . victoria : well , she does own half of fenmore 's . billy : yeah , but lauren 's the one that runs it , and by the sound of that article , jack and lauren are the only ones part of the deal . victoria : hmm . i can only imagine jill 's reaction . billy : [ imitates explosion ] victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : she 's gon na storm in here ready for a fight . she 's gon na want everybody to know that brash & sassy will not be beaten by jabot . victoria : well , i want that , too . billy : what ? victoria : i need you to help me launch the latest weapon in our arsenal . jack : and it is imperative that everyone in the departments you manage , and i do mean everyone , bring your maximum effort , energy , passion to our common goal -- unrivaled success . lauren : i agree . and luckily both companies employ the brightest and the best . and if we continue to share our ideas and our talents , we will ensure a mutually beneficial relationship . jack : and to that end . ravi ? ravi : yeah ? uh , sorry . um , yeah , we , uh ... was i supposed to -- jack : ravi , i am assigning you to work primarily with phyllis . getting her virtual dressing room platform up and running is our top priority . phyllis : we get to work together after all . ravi : uh , that 's great . jack : as for the rest of you , i 'm hoping that every one of you will do all you can to help lauren in this transition . lauren : well , thank you . i think we 've covered everything . jack : i agree . so let 's get to it . lauren : i 'm impressed , jack . you instructed your staff instead of ordering them to make sure that this transition goes smoothly . thank you . jack : well , that was the plan . so -- lauren : ashley , you know , we 've not talked about this , but i just want you to know how much i 've always valued our friendship , and i really admire your abilities and your work ethic . i am so looking forward to collaborating with you . ashley : thank you . i look forward to working with you , too , lauren . phyllis : okay , i guess i 'm not being included on this mutual admiration society , so why do n't we get to work , shall we ? jack : actually , phyllis , there is something i wanted to say to you . phyllis : you know , jack , if you 're going to rehash our divorce or anything that has happened in this past year -- jack : no , not at all . but judging from your response , this needs to be said . i stand by my earlier statement . we all have to be a part of this united front . you play a critical role on this team . i know we have our personal issues , but i want you to know you will be treated with the utmost professionalism . phyllis : okay . go , team ! see you later . lauren : yeah . that was n't exactly warm and fuzzy , but it is encouraging that he 's making an effort . phyllis : oh , i hope he can stick to it . lauren : hey . he 's trying . i think we should do the same . phyllis : you suggesting i adjust my skepticism ? lauren : maybe just a tad , you know . he has stepped up . phyllis : honey , i want this to work for you , but it is tough to trust that jack is being sincere after he 's been jerking us around . even last night . lauren : okay , honey , i think that was more about jill than it was about you . phyllis : you mean not everything is about me ? never considered the concept . lauren : it is a shocking twist . [ chuckles ] lattes ? phyllis : i 'm gon na sound like i 'm butting in right now , but now that everything is settled , maybe you should talk to jill . lauren : [ sighs ] i 've already talked to her , and nothing is ever settled with her . she 's still upset that i did n't go to her when fenmore 's was in trouble . phyllis : why did n't you ? lauren : [ sighs ] pride , shame . phyllis : you had nothing to be ashamed of . lauren : are you kidding ? it 's my store . i broke it . i needed to fix it . phyllis : you fixed it brilliantly . lauren : thank you . phyllis : and i think talking it out with jill will really mean a lot to her , face to face . lauren : yeah , maybe you 're right . i 'll make her understand that i did not do this to alienate her . i just -- i could n't face running to her , you know , hat in hand before i tried everything else . phyllis : you 'll make her understand .

[ spritzes ] this one 's more subtle . billy : get closer . cane : can we at least try and keep things professional around here ? jack : what is the problem ? it 's a merger ! you had to know we would be sharing resources ! ashley : ravi is not a resource ! and it 's counterproductive for you to take him off of a project we 've been working on for months , jabotgo , and hand him over to phyllis ! jack : ashley , we 're building phyllis ' platform first ! ashley : she 's gon na monopolize his time , maybe for weeks , maybe for months ! what 's that ? jack : i ca n't help but wonder if your complaint is of a more personal nature . ashley : oh , you 've got to be kidding me . that 's ridiculous . jack : then why are you standing -- ashley : you 're not seeing the big picture ! the only reason the fenmore deal even happened , jack , is because of the success of the application that ravi created . you have got to keep jabot first ! jack : i do n't need you telling me that . i assure you , jabot will not suffer because of ravi 's divided attention . phyllis : because we 're in for a long day . ravi : hey , uh , well , uh , thanks , but that 's too much dairy for me . but thanks anyways . phyllis : oh , more for me . you know , i do n't think you have been properly introduced to lauren . lauren fenmore , ravi shapur . lauren : hello . lovely to meet you . i 've heard so much about you . phyllis just raves about your creativity and your programming skills . ravi : cool . thanks . uh , and you guys , fenmore 's , you guys -- you guys sell really nice stuff . lauren : [ chuckles ] yes , we do . thank you so very much . so , the platform that you and phyllis are collaborating on , you know , is essential for our continued success , and you are aware that we are launching the new live website on president 's weekend , right ? ravi : yeah , phyllis actually mentioned that -- pres -- that 's soon . that 's , like , really soon . phyllis : we can handle it . ravi : right , no , it 's just , uh , there 's other deadlines . um , there 's still a lot of work i have to get done for ashley -- lauren : right , so this will be your priority . i mean , jack did say that we need to work together . ravi : yeah , no , i heard jack . uh -- lauren : you 'll be on this full - time , and ashley will adjust . ravi : okay , uh ... will she ? phyllis : ravi , we are gon na be just fine . you and i are gon na be able to deliver just what lauren wants . i have every confidence . ravi : okay . jill : i was so upset by mrs. baldwin 's high - handedness . that is why i called david sherman . you know , his father was katherine 's attorney for many , many years , and i need someone i can trust . i 'm sorry . mr. sherman is out of the country . jill : well , maybe that 's just as well . you know , mrs. baldwin and i have n't seen much of each other lately . i 've been traveling and attending to my other businesses . but we are still business partners . so when she made this deal without consulting me , well , i think it 's outrageous . i think it 's a miscarriage of justice . am i right ? ms. atkinson , what would you like us to do ? jill : well , first of all , i do n't believe that litigation is the answer here . as a matter of fact , my husband colin , he just thinks i should let the whole thing go entirely and live with lauren 's decision . he wants to spend more time with me . he 's a very , very sweet man . so , you are no longer in need of our firm 's services ? jill : [ sighs ] what i need is you . i need the youngest , hungriest , and , in all likelihood , handsomest associate to work tirelessly on my behalf , that way i make my husband happy and you make me even happier by using every legal resource to get our stores back where they belong -- to me . neil : i 'm not trying to pressure you into any particular course of action when it comes to your wife . i 'm just trying to get you to be honest , man , about how you 're feeling , you know , what you want . devon : i have no idea what i actually want , and i 'm kind of embarrassed to feel like that because you would think that after everything that she 's done i could n't divorce that woman fast enough . but that does n't stop me from thinking about her . all day , every day , memories come at me , the good ones , the bad ones . i reach for her in the morning in a house that i bought for her . i try not to think about her before i go to sleep . neil : like i said , she affects every part of your life . and i think given some time , you know , you 'll be able to put all this behind you . devon : i really do n't think that a lifetime would be enough to stop missing her and to stop wanting her . i just -- i - i do n't know if i will be able to live without her . neil : so you 're thinking about taking her back ? devon : i keep telling myself that would be the worst possible thing i could do , and it would be fantastic if i believed it . hilary : why are you staring at me ? mariah : nothing . just waiting to see if your nose is gon na start growing . hilary : excuse me ? mariah : you know , 'cause that `` i 'm done with lying `` is about the biggest whopper i 've ever heard in my life . oh , come on , hilary . i am not judging you . you can come clean with me . hilary : you do n't want to believe me , it 's fine . mariah : why would i ? you 've practically -- hilary : people do have epiphanies , mariah . it happens when your husband is so disgusted that he runs from you and he crashes his car and he almost dies or when you will do anything to hold onto the one person on the planet who truly loves you but you ca n't because of your own selfishness and your own deceit . oh , god . i bet that you are wondering when you 're gon na be able to use this against me , huh ? mariah : actually , i was thinking that ... i was as bad as you . hilary : so i 've heard . mariah : okay . i believe you . at least the part about you wanting to change . hilary : well , it 's really too bad that it does n't matter what you believe . cane : [ sighs ] billy : relax . what you saw was , in fact , completely professional . was n't it ? victoria : yes , absolutely . we just need to choose the rest of the fragrances for the men 's body spray line . cane : okay , so you just figured you 'd go ahead and do it without me , huh ? victoria : well , we were n't doing it without you . billy : do n't waste your breath . he 's still sensitive because we hired lily without consulting him . cane : it 's just there 's major , like , patterns going on here of you making decisions without consulting me , okay ? even though the three of us are meant to be running this business together . victoria : and we do . billy and i were just reviewing some of the samples . have you done any work on the selections yourself ? cane : yeah , i have , actually . victoria : well , it 's no different than what we 're doing here . cane : okay . victoria : now we 're all here together , we can hash it out and determine what our favorite is . billy : wait . does that mean he 's gon na have to smell me , too ? victoria : yes , it 's science , billy . billy : huh . victoria : come on , you guys . let 's get to work . everyone 's voice is gon na be heard , all right ? both : right . jack : you ca n't just walk in here . gloria : i just did . and now i suggest you clear your schedule . jack : i know you are disappointed that i ca n't secure you a job at fenmore 's . gloria : `` disappointment `` is a gross understatement , jack . there 's a reason i was swallowing my sorrows in shots with you the other night ! jack : could you keep your voice down ? i do n't need a reminder , and i do n't need everyone in the hall hearing you . gloria : do you need reminding that you gave me your word ? ! jack : gloria ... gloria : believe me , i believed you . thought we were friends , jack . jack : we were allies . and since you are pushing this , let me remind you , you did n't deliver on all of your promises , either . gloria : not every single one , no . but , oh , i sure as hell delivered and cleared the way so you could make the deal . jack : in some ways you came through . in some you did n't . just as i had every intention of coming through with this job for you . gloria : then do it ! jack : i bought a substantial piece of fenmore 's . lauren still runs the show there . she does the hiring and the firing . i 'm sorry , gloria . gloria : if you are truly sorry , make it up to me . figure it out , jack ! jack : you 're not hearing me , gloria . there is nothing i can do for you . gloria : i know from personal experience -- when you really want something , like robbing me of my inheritance that your father wanted to leave me , you were unstoppable . so come on , jack . where there 's a `` will , `` there 's a way . jack : except in this situation , there is neither a will nor a way . this conversation is over . lauren : well , i thought i 'd stop by and see if jill and i could shift things from defcon 1 to a 2 . colin : well , it 's an admirable effort . she 's not here . she 's got an appointment . lauren : all right , well , at least i tried . colin : well , um , why do n't you stick around ? maybe we can have a chat , you know . lauren : you and me ? colin : yeah , well , we 've never really spent a whole lot of time together . at least i do n't think . lauren : no . we have n't . but , you know , if you 're just gon na echo jill 's rallying cry about how i abused her by taking care of my company , forget it . colin : that 's the furthest thing from my mind . i 'm on your side . lauren : all right . colin : please . you know , uh , you could have handled that situation with a tad more sensitivity . lauren : ugh . colin , if that 's what you 're gon na say to me , forget it . colin : but look , my -- my wish is that jill would just forget this and move on . lauren : really ? colin : what i do n't understand is why my wife is so agitated by this merger with jack abbott . i mean , it benefits both companies , right ? lauren : yes , of course it does . colin : and you ca n't argue with good business . i just wish my wife would understand that and stop going out there and chasing more . i mean , god knows she does n't need the stress . lauren : oh , my god . is she ill ? colin : no , no , no , no , no . healthy as a horse . but , you see , it 's that simple . selfishly , i can think of a million and more things to do with the time . [ sighs ] i wish jill understood that , too . lauren : this is very surprising . colin : look , i just wanted to reassure you . you 're not in this alone . i 'm doing whatever i can to mollify her on my end . lauren : you are so reasonable . [ chuckling ] this is so out of character for you . colin : you did n't expect this kind of cooperation , did you ? lauren : no . which has me wondering , what are you expecting in return ? jill : i have no desire to get caught up in some lawsuit that 's gon na take years to resolve . i want results right now . mediation could work for you . jill : whereas an end run could result in a sure thing . i mean , i could use my vast assets to make jack an irresistible offer . buy his percentage , making me the majority owner of fenmore 's . investing your own money when fenmore 's is n't salvageable ? jill : i know , i know , i know . it 's risky . i just wish there was another ... ohh . whoa . maybe there is another option . ashley : hard at work , i see . phyllis : hey ! ravi stepped out . i get why he stays so cheerful all day . this thing is amazing . it makes you happy just sitting on it . i bet a few minutes bouncing on this could even make you pleasant . ashley : so i 'm aware that jack is calling most of the shots around here , but i 've got some ground rules that i 'm laying down , as well . devon : hey , mariah . mariah : hey . devon : hey , you did a great job yesterday . mariah : thanks . i was wondering if you liked it . devon : i did , i did . and we 've been getting really great feedback , so i just want to thank you for all your hard work . mariah : well , if you 're looking for hilary ... she 's right over there . hilary : it 's okay , devon . i figured by the way that you took off last night you were pretty angry with me for going off script and making that apology on live tv , not running it by you . devon : well , actually , i was impressed . ashley : unfortunately , because of this deal , i 'm forced to let ravi work with you , but there 's gon na be some restrictions . i 'm not just gon na hand him over to you . phyllis : i did n't realize he was your possession , ashley . ashley : i 'm not gon na let you take advantage of him , phyllis . you 're not gon na monopolize his time or his energy . phyllis : whoa , nobody said anything about taking over his life . i just need him to help me finish a project . what do you need him for ? ashley : excuse me ? i hired him . and i value him greatly . phyllis : i see . ashley : he 's my right - hand man , and believe me , my project is gon na be his top priority . are we clear ? colin : you know , in view of my , uh , checkered past , i can understand your skepticism , but , um , i want nothing from you . i 'm doing this for the good of my marriage . lauren : i care about jill . i would n't be here if i did n't . so please tell her that that 's why i came here to talk to her . and if you really are being sincere and that we are on the same side , [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe i 'm saying this to you of all people ... but thank you . colin : no thanks necessary . let 's just hope this blows over and soon . jill : whatever you 're working on , you can stop . i have an offer to make to the three of you . cane : what ? what is it ? jill : i want to divest brash & sassy from chancellor . victoria : what ? why ? jill : i need to free up some cash . so if the three of you want to buy this company , it 's all yours . jack : this conversation is over . you can show yourself out . gloria : no , this is not finished , jack abbott . not by a long shot . jack : there is nothing left to discuss . as i 've explained to you , there is nothing , absolutely nothing , i can do for you , gloria . now , i suggest you suck it up and find a job elsewhere . gloria : [ chuckles ] do you think you can do this to me again ? toss me aside ? dismiss me as if i do n't matter ? no , sir . i will not be ignored . trust me , jack . i will not be ignored ! [ next_on ] billy : you already know what you want to do with the money . jill : oh , you 're damn right i do . victor : you built this company from the ground up . you should own the whole damn thing . buy it ! gloria : i have the right to talk about whatever i want to ! ashley : what the hell am i interrupting ? | jill was furious when she read in the paper that lauren and jack had gone forward with the merger . jill vowed to fight to get her shares back . colin advised jill to let it go and focus on spending more quality time with him . victoria thanked billy for helping her get her relationship with reed back on track . victoria seemed captivated when billy took his shirt off to test their body spray . jack , ashley , phyllis , lauren and ravi had their first meeting about the jabot - fenmore 's merger . ashley disapproved when jack pulled ravi off of her project and told him to work with phyllis . lauren was happy with the way jack handled the meeting , but phyllis was n't sure she trusted him . phyllis urged lauren to go talk to jill . ravi was concerned about meeting the deadlines for both phyllis and ashley 's projects . lauren told him to make phyllis the priority . gloria confronted jack about upholding his promise to hire her at fenmore 's if she helped him buy the company . jack told her that there was nothing he could do . gloria told him she would n't be ignored . | <s>[INST] jill : [ chuckles ] according to some people , i have no control where fenmore 's needed the money , and jafenmore 's needed the money , and jabot only bought 49 % , so at least you and lauren still maintain control . jill : [ chuckles ] according to some people , i have no control where fenmore 's is concerned . do you know that lauren did n't even consult me on this ? cane : why did n't you ask her to ? jill : i did , cane . and she told me that she had just everything handled ! selling our legacy is handled ? ! colin : listen , do n't get yourself riled up . stress is bad for you . jill : yeah , i 'll tell you what stresses me out is when my sister does a multi- million - dollar deal and she leaves me out of it . colin : look , i can understand it 's upsetting . jill : yeah , well , it 's all over the news ! the whole world knew about it before i did ! colin : look , we discussed last night that when choosing battles , it might be best to walk away from this one . jill : darling , you discussed and i listened . i will not walk away from this fight ! jack : thank you all for coming on such short notice . i wo n't take too much of your time . this is a tremendous moment for these two companies , both with equally rich histories , both based here in genoa city , both founded by extraordinary men whose legacies their children cherish to this day . the road to this moment has not been an easy one . [ cell phone vibrates ] jack : but how we got here no longer matters . what is important now is that we are all on the same side . gloria : call me back , jack , immediately . mariah : hey . have you seen the reactions to last night 's show ? hilary : uh ... mariah : what am i talking about ? of course you have . you live for the praise of millions . hilary : was there praise ? mariah : yeah , listen . `` gc buzzed a rip in the space - time continuum , swallowed up the mean hilary , and spat out twice the buzz . # doublebuzzisbetter . hilary : they like us . i 'm glad that it worked out . mariah : like us ? this is stanning . you know , as in stan , hardcore fan . do you even go on the internet ? anyway , after they got over the fact that you made me faceplant on live tv , you are getting major love for owning up and apologizing . hilary : nice . mariah : you know , it was an excellent move on your part . you really know how to work this tv thing . hilary : that 's it ? that 's all that you have to say ? mariah : did you miss the part where i gave you like three compliments ? hilary : no , i - i missed the part where you accepted my apology . mariah : why should i ? hilary : what is it gon na take ? if saying i 'm sorry on live tv is n't enough -- mariah : you really expect me to believe that that apology was for me ? hilary : it was . mariah : that apology was designed for one person and one person only -- devon . devon : all right , sounds good . see you then . neil : hey , hey . we still on for breakfast ? devon : yeah , absolutely . i just , uh , let me make a note for these , uh , interviews . neil : what interview ? devon : uh , prospective managers to replace lily . neil : i thought lily would be handling that . devon : yeah , she normally would , but she 's busy with fittings and photo shoots for her new gig at brash & sassy . neil : okay , but what about an assistant or somebody to handle that for her ? devon : i , uh , i do n't need to . this is my place , and i want to do things . neil : so putting hilary back on the gc buzz last night , was that your decision ? devon : yes , it was . neil : and the apology for what she did to mariah ? devon : that was all hilary . and it was the last thing that i ever expected . neil : uh - huh . and did that change things for you ? victoria : i had no idea that this was in the works , did you ? billy : kind of . phyllis mentioned it . victoria : so , um , how did phyllis know ? are she and jack ... ? billy : why would you jump to them being back together ? victoria : i was just wondering if they had gotten to the point where they 're being civil again , that 's all . billy : okay , uh , i 'm not 100 % sure , but i know that phyllis and lauren , you know , get along , they 're friendly , so phyllis and lauren are working together . as far as jack and phyllis , i do n't think my brother would be her pick as an investor . victoria : well , lauren must have thought that jack had something to offer that the other investors would n't . billy : i 'm sure jack cornered her and made it so that she could n't walk away from the deal . victoria : well , jabot 's doing great . he does n't want or need anything from anybody . billy : that 's exactly the point . jabot is at the top of the heap . jack wants to make sure that he 's known as the king of genoa city . whatever . um , you want to look at those samples ? victoria : yeah , are they ready ? billy : they are . i 'll get them . victoria : do n't you think it 's a little weird that jill has n't said anything about this ? billy : she probably does n't know . if she did , we would hear about it because jill do n't do quiet . victoria : well , she does own half of fenmore 's . billy : yeah , but lauren 's the one that runs it , and by the sound of that article , jack and lauren are the only ones part of the deal . victoria : hmm . i can only imagine jill 's reaction . billy : [ imitates explosion ] victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : she 's gon na storm in here ready for a fight . she 's gon na want everybody to know that brash & sassy will not be beaten by jabot . victoria : well , i want that , too . billy : what ? victoria : i need you to help me launch the latest weapon in our arsenal . jack : and it is imperative that everyone in the departments you manage , and i do mean everyone , bring your maximum effort , energy , passion to our common goal -- unrivaled success . lauren : i agree . and luckily both companies employ the brightest and the best . and if we continue to share our ideas and our talents , we will ensure a mutually beneficial relationship . jack : and to that end . ravi ? ravi : yeah ? uh , sorry . um , yeah , we , uh ... was i supposed to -- jack : ravi , i am assigning you to work primarily with phyllis . getting her virtual dressing room platform up and running is our top priority . phyllis : we get to work together after all . ravi : uh , that 's great . jack : as for the rest of you , i 'm hoping that every one of you will do all you can to help lauren in this transition . lauren : well , thank you . i think we 've covered everything . jack : i agree . so let 's get to it . lauren : i 'm impressed , jack . you instructed your staff instead of ordering them to make sure that this transition goes smoothly . thank you . jack : well , that was the plan . so -- lauren : ashley , you know , we 've not talked about this , but i just want you to know how much i 've always valued our friendship , and i really admire your abilities and your work ethic . i am so looking forward to collaborating with you . ashley : thank you . i look forward to working with you , too , lauren . phyllis : okay , i guess i 'm not being included on this mutual admiration society , so why do n't we get to work , shall we ? jack : actually , phyllis , there is something i wanted to say to you . phyllis : you know , jack , if you 're going to rehash our divorce or anything that has happened in this past year -- jack : no , not at all . but judging from your response , this needs to be said . i stand by my earlier statement . we all have to be a part of this united front . you play a critical role on this team . i know we have our personal issues , but i want you to know you will be treated with the utmost professionalism . phyllis : okay . go , team ! see you later . lauren : yeah . that was n't exactly warm and fuzzy , but it is encouraging that he 's making an effort . phyllis : oh , i hope he can stick to it . lauren : hey . he 's trying . i think we should do the same . phyllis : you suggesting i adjust my skepticism ? lauren : maybe just a tad , you know . he has stepped up . phyllis : honey , i want this to work for you , but it is tough to trust that jack is being sincere after he 's been jerking us around . even last night . lauren : okay , honey , i think that was more about jill than it was about you . phyllis : you mean not everything is about me ? never considered the concept . lauren : it is a shocking twist . [ chuckles ] lattes ? phyllis : i 'm gon na sound like i 'm butting in right now , but now that everything is settled , maybe you should talk to jill . lauren : [ sighs ] i 've already talked to her , and nothing is ever settled with her . she 's still upset that i did n't go to her when fenmore 's was in trouble . phyllis : why did n't you ? lauren : [ sighs ] pride , shame . phyllis : you had nothing to be ashamed of . lauren : are you kidding ? it 's my store . i broke it . i needed to fix it . phyllis : you fixed it brilliantly . lauren : thank you . phyllis : and i think talking it out with jill will really mean a lot to her , face to face . lauren : yeah , maybe you 're right . i 'll make her understand that i did not do this to alienate her . i just -- i could n't face running to her , you know , hat in hand before i tried everything else . phyllis : you 'll make her understand . [ elevator bell dings ] lauren : if she does n't , there 's really nothing she can do about it now . jill : tea ? really ? colin : it 's herbal . it 'll help calm you down . jill : you 're very sweet . you 're very sweet , but nothing 's gon na change my mood unless i get my share of fenmore 's back from jack abbott ! colin : will you help me remind her that she 's already handling chancellor and brash & sassy ? cane : you know what ? actually , dad is right on this one . besides , i thought you were more of a silent partner nowadays with fenmore 's and that 's how you liked it . jill : yeah , i did like it that way -- till i found out that the chain was in trouble and i found out after the fact . cane : wow . you know what ? if i actually found out decisions were being made , you know , without me knowing about them , i 'd probably be upset , too . colin : thank you so much for your opinion . now , look at the time . do n't you have somewhere to be ? cane : yeah , actually , i do . i have to go and , uh , see a distributor and talk to him about something . it 's important . you know what i 'll do ? i 'll e - mail you a report , and i 'll keep you in touch . jill : thank you ! somebody is keeping me informed ! thank you ! cane : you 're welcome . colin : i do n't see why you 're so agitated . the deal with jabot 's already in place . jill : really , really , really ? well , i think i could be a player in this , all right ? if i offered jack a large enough , generous enough offer , i think that i could be a player ! [ sighs ] do n't , do n't , do n't , do n't ! i 'm plotting here ! colin : and doing it very badly . look , you 're all full of righteous anger and adrenaline . jill : and justifiably so , would n't you say ? colin : yeah , but that 's not a good way to do business . you got to step back and look at the big picture and look at what 's best . jill : no ! that 's what i am doing ! colin : yeah , and not as a businesswoman , but as a woman who 's married to a man who loves you and who wishes that this whole fenmore 's - jabot thing would just go away . jill : whoa . why are you so against me doing this ? colin : i told you . i 'm worried about your state of mind . jill : [ scoffs ] no , colin . i want you to tell me the real reason you do n't want me to pursue this deal , and i want you to tell me now . neil : so is it that you do n't want to answer me or that you do n't know the answer ? devon : you think i should forgive hilary ? neil : that 's not what i asked you . devon : because i almost lost my life 'cause of that woman . i would be nuts to give her a second chance . neil : well , you see , young man , that 's the thing about love . it makes you nuts . do you still love her ? because if you do and you ca n't move on while this is unresolved . hilary : you know , we should sex up that jabot - fenmore 's story with a mix - merge of their supermodels . mariah : and i was thinking that we could end with the jack white interview , although we do n't have a strong lead story . hilary : oh , there 's still plenty of time . trust me , in this town , anything can happen before the sun goes down . mariah : scary how true that is . i wonder what devon thought of last night 's show , the two of us together , your apology . he must have said something to you , right ? hilary : no , he did n't . by the time we were finished taping , he was gone . mariah : oh . hilary : it 's fine . i do n't expect devon to believe that i 've changed or forgive me overnight . i 'm just really glad that i got a chance to clear my conscience . mariah : mm - hmm . hilary : i 'm being honest . trust me . nobody knows better than i do , nothing good comes from lying . colin : yeah . yeah , there is something else . jill : ah . i knew it . i knew you had an ulterior motive . colin : my , uh , my heartless , self - centered motive is my incomparable love for you . jill : what does that mean ? colin : you know , the last few years have been a whirlwind . you running chancellor , our splitting our time between hong kong and chicago , and moving back here , acquiring brash & sassy . jill : honey , you knew who i was when you married me . colin : and i thank god that i got that opportunity . i mean , i love your ambition . i worship the idea that you have this -- this passionate ethic for work . jill : well , what 's the problem ? colin : how much more success do we need to acquire and at what personal cost ? jill : [ sighs ] geez . you 're really expecting me to change , are n't you ? colin : no , i just need to remind you that at this point and at this time in our life , we 're meant to be sitting back and reaping the benefits of all those wonderful things that you went out there and built and savoring the finer things in life ... together . jill : are you trying to say that you want more time with me ? colin : i missed you in australia so much ! when i came back , i was full of plans for the both of us . romantic dinners , weekends away together , doing those things and spending time doing those things that we 've never spent time doing before . i do n't want anything to get in the way of that . jill : sweetheart , i really believe that we can have all those things whether i 'm working or not . colin : alas , i think ... history is moving ahead of us . please think of this . do n't make any decisions out of spite . life is too short . jill : oh , baby . jack : does that timetable work for you ? ashley : it 's fine . jack : i have n't managed to get more than a one - word answer out of you since that meeting . ashley : surprises . that 's one word , too . and you 're full of them , are n't you ? jack : if you 're talking about the way i dealt with phyllis , i am in no mood to be grilled yet again about the dynamic with my ex - wife . ashley : oh , no , i have a much greater concern than that , jack . [ cell phone rings ] jack : jack abbott . gloria : thought you 'd answer this time . jack : i realize you 've been trying to reach me . i am in the middle of something . i 'll have to get -- gloria : do n't you dare hang up on me ! jack : now , where were we ? gloria : [ sighs ] billy : let 's do this . victoria : this might be cold . billy : well , you could warm it up first . victoria : ugh . come on . this is a scientific experiment , not some warped fantasy , so man up . billy : already there , sweetheart . victoria : [ sighs ] [ spritzes ] billy : i feel so used . victoria : come on , billy . this is serious . billy : i love it when you get bossy . victoria : oh ! are you done yet ? billy : yes , i am done . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : what do you think ? which one 's gon na be our signature scent ? victoria : hmm , i do n't know . [ sniffs ] it 's hard to say . billy : that 's because you 're over here doing this with your hand . come on . get up in here . victoria : i can smell it just fine from over here . billy : come on . get closer . that 's not me speaking . it 's science . victoria : you do n't know a damn thing about science . billy : victoria , if we 're gon na pick one of these for valentine 's day , we need to make a choice . come on . get closer . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : vick ? victoria : hmm ? billy : what do you think ? victoria : it 's ... i vastly like the second one better . it 's distinctive , it 's fresh . billy : okay , that 's good . that 's a go . that 's a no . victoria : oh , no , wait . hold on . there 's one more . there 's three . billy : [ sighs ] victoria : so , uh ... billy : neck ? victoria : okay . [ spritzes ] this one 's more subtle . billy : get closer . cane : can we at least try and keep things professional around here ? jack : what is the problem ? it 's a merger ! you had to know we would be sharing resources ! ashley : ravi is not a resource ! and it 's counterproductive for you to take him off of a project we 've been working on for months , jabotgo , and hand him over to phyllis ! jack : ashley , we 're building phyllis ' platform first ! ashley : she 's gon na monopolize his time , maybe for weeks , maybe for months ! what 's that ? jack : i ca n't help but wonder if your complaint is of a more personal nature . ashley : oh , you 've got to be kidding me . that 's ridiculous . jack : then why are you standing -- ashley : you 're not seeing the big picture ! the only reason the fenmore deal even happened , jack , is because of the success of the application that ravi created . you have got to keep jabot first ! jack : i do n't need you telling me that . i assure you , jabot will not suffer because of ravi 's divided attention . phyllis : because we 're in for a long day . ravi : hey , uh , well , uh , thanks , but that 's too much dairy for me . but thanks anyways . phyllis : oh , more for me . you know , i do n't think you have been properly introduced to lauren . lauren fenmore , ravi shapur . lauren : hello . lovely to meet you . i 've heard so much about you . phyllis just raves about your creativity and your programming skills . ravi : cool . thanks . uh , and you guys , fenmore 's , you guys -- you guys sell really nice stuff . lauren : [ chuckles ] yes , we do . thank you so very much . so , the platform that you and phyllis are collaborating on , you know , is essential for our continued success , and you are aware that we are launching the new live website on president 's weekend , right ? ravi : yeah , phyllis actually mentioned that -- pres -- that 's soon . that 's , like , really soon . phyllis : we can handle it . ravi : right , no , it 's just , uh , there 's other deadlines . um , there 's still a lot of work i have to get done for ashley -- lauren : right , so this will be your priority . i mean , jack did say that we need to work together . ravi : yeah , no , i heard jack . uh -- lauren : you 'll be on this full - time , and ashley will adjust . ravi : okay , uh ... will she ? phyllis : ravi , we are gon na be just fine . you and i are gon na be able to deliver just what lauren wants . i have every confidence . ravi : okay . jill : i was so upset by mrs. baldwin 's high - handedness . that is why i called david sherman . you know , his father was katherine 's attorney for many , many years , and i need someone i can trust . i 'm sorry . mr. sherman is out of the country . jill : well , maybe that 's just as well . you know , mrs. baldwin and i have n't seen much of each other lately . i 've been traveling and attending to my other businesses . but we are still business partners . so when she made this deal without consulting me , well , i think it 's outrageous . i think it 's a miscarriage of justice . am i right ? ms. atkinson , what would you like us to do ? jill : well , first of all , i do n't believe that litigation is the answer here . as a matter of fact , my husband colin , he just thinks i should let the whole thing go entirely and live with lauren 's decision . he wants to spend more time with me . he 's a very , very sweet man . so , you are no longer in need of our firm 's services ? jill : [ sighs ] what i need is you . i need the youngest , hungriest , and , in all likelihood , handsomest associate to work tirelessly on my behalf , that way i make my husband happy and you make me even happier by using every legal resource to get our stores back where they belong -- to me . neil : i 'm not trying to pressure you into any particular course of action when it comes to your wife . i 'm just trying to get you to be honest , man , about how you 're feeling , you know , what you want . devon : i have no idea what i actually want , and i 'm kind of embarrassed to feel like that because you would think that after everything that she 's done i could n't divorce that woman fast enough . but that does n't stop me from thinking about her . all day , every day , memories come at me , the good ones , the bad ones . i reach for her in the morning in a house that i bought for her . i try not to think about her before i go to sleep . neil : like i said , she affects every part of your life . and i think given some time , you know , you 'll be able to put all this behind you . devon : i really do n't think that a lifetime would be enough to stop missing her and to stop wanting her . i just -- i - i do n't know if i will be able to live without her . neil : so you 're thinking about taking her back ? devon : i keep telling myself that would be the worst possible thing i could do , and it would be fantastic if i believed it . hilary : why are you staring at me ? mariah : nothing . just waiting to see if your nose is gon na start growing . hilary : excuse me ? mariah : you know , 'cause that `` i 'm done with lying `` is about the biggest whopper i 've ever heard in my life . oh , come on , hilary . i am not judging you . you can come clean with me . hilary : you do n't want to believe me , it 's fine . mariah : why would i ? you 've practically -- hilary : people do have epiphanies , mariah . it happens when your husband is so disgusted that he runs from you and he crashes his car and he almost dies or when you will do anything to hold onto the one person on the planet who truly loves you but you ca n't because of your own selfishness and your own deceit . oh , god . i bet that you are wondering when you 're gon na be able to use this against me , huh ? mariah : actually , i was thinking that ... i was as bad as you . hilary : so i 've heard . mariah : okay . i believe you . at least the part about you wanting to change . hilary : well , it 's really too bad that it does n't matter what you believe . cane : [ sighs ] billy : relax . what you saw was , in fact , completely professional . was n't it ? victoria : yes , absolutely . we just need to choose the rest of the fragrances for the men 's body spray line . cane : okay , so you just figured you 'd go ahead and do it without me , huh ? victoria : well , we were n't doing it without you . billy : do n't waste your breath . he 's still sensitive because we hired lily without consulting him . cane : it 's just there 's major , like , patterns going on here of you making decisions without consulting me , okay ? even though the three of us are meant to be running this business together . victoria : and we do . billy and i were just reviewing some of the samples . have you done any work on the selections yourself ? cane : yeah , i have , actually . victoria : well , it 's no different than what we 're doing here . cane : okay . victoria : now we 're all here together , we can hash it out and determine what our favorite is . billy : wait . does that mean he 's gon na have to smell me , too ? victoria : yes , it 's science , billy . billy : huh . victoria : come on , you guys . let 's get to work . everyone 's voice is gon na be heard , all right ? both : right . jack : you ca n't just walk in here . gloria : i just did . and now i suggest you clear your schedule . jack : i know you are disappointed that i ca n't secure you a job at fenmore 's . gloria : `` disappointment `` is a gross understatement , jack . there 's a reason i was swallowing my sorrows in shots with you the other night ! jack : could you keep your voice down ? i do n't need a reminder , and i do n't need everyone in the hall hearing you . gloria : do you need reminding that you gave me your word ? ! jack : gloria ... gloria : believe me , i believed you . thought we were friends , jack . jack : we were allies . and since you are pushing this , let me remind you , you did n't deliver on all of your promises , either . gloria : not every single one , no . but , oh , i sure as hell delivered and cleared the way so you could make the deal . jack : in some ways you came through . in some you did n't . just as i had every intention of coming through with this job for you . gloria : then do it ! jack : i bought a substantial piece of fenmore 's . lauren still runs the show there . she does the hiring and the firing . i 'm sorry , gloria . gloria : if you are truly sorry , make it up to me . figure it out , jack ! jack : you 're not hearing me , gloria . there is nothing i can do for you . gloria : i know from personal experience -- when you really want something , like robbing me of my inheritance that your father wanted to leave me , you were unstoppable . so come on , jack . where there 's a `` will , `` there 's a way . jack : except in this situation , there is neither a will nor a way . this conversation is over . lauren : well , i thought i 'd stop by and see if jill and i could shift things from defcon 1 to a 2 . colin : well , it 's an admirable effort . she 's not here . she 's got an appointment . lauren : all right , well , at least i tried . colin : well , um , why do n't you stick around ? maybe we can have a chat , you know . lauren : you and me ? colin : yeah , well , we 've never really spent a whole lot of time together . at least i do n't think . lauren : no . we have n't . but , you know , if you 're just gon na echo jill 's rallying cry about how i abused her by taking care of my company , forget it . colin : that 's the furthest thing from my mind . i 'm on your side . lauren : all right . colin : please . you know , uh , you could have handled that situation with a tad more sensitivity . lauren : ugh . colin , if that 's what you 're gon na say to me , forget it . colin : but look , my -- my wish is that jill would just forget this and move on . lauren : really ? colin : what i do n't understand is why my wife is so agitated by this merger with jack abbott . i mean , it benefits both companies , right ? lauren : yes , of course it does . colin : and you ca n't argue with good business . i just wish my wife would understand that and stop going out there and chasing more . i mean , god knows she does n't need the stress . lauren : oh , my god . is she ill ? colin : no , no , no , no , no . healthy as a horse . but , you see , it 's that simple . selfishly , i can think of a million and more things to do with the time . [ sighs ] i wish jill understood that , too . lauren : this is very surprising . colin : look , i just wanted to reassure you . you 're not in this alone . i 'm doing whatever i can to mollify her on my end . lauren : you are so reasonable . [ chuckling ] this is so out of character for you . colin : you did n't expect this kind of cooperation , did you ? lauren : no . which has me wondering , what are you expecting in return ? jill : i have no desire to get caught up in some lawsuit that 's gon na take years to resolve . i want results right now . mediation could work for you . jill : whereas an end run could result in a sure thing . i mean , i could use my vast assets to make jack an irresistible offer . buy his percentage , making me the majority owner of fenmore 's . investing your own money when fenmore 's is n't salvageable ? jill : i know , i know , i know . it 's risky . i just wish there was another ... ohh . whoa . maybe there is another option . ashley : hard at work , i see . phyllis : hey ! ravi stepped out . i get why he stays so cheerful all day . this thing is amazing . it makes you happy just sitting on it . i bet a few minutes bouncing on this could even make you pleasant . ashley : so i 'm aware that jack is calling most of the shots around here , but i 've got some ground rules that i 'm laying down , as well . devon : hey , mariah . mariah : hey . devon : hey , you did a great job yesterday . mariah : thanks . i was wondering if you liked it . devon : i did , i did . and we 've been getting really great feedback , so i just want to thank you for all your hard work . mariah : well , if you 're looking for hilary ... she 's right over there . hilary : it 's okay , devon . i figured by the way that you took off last night you were pretty angry with me for going off script and making that apology on live tv , not running it by you . devon : well , actually , i was impressed . ashley : unfortunately , because of this deal , i 'm forced to let ravi work with you , but there 's gon na be some restrictions . i 'm not just gon na hand him over to you . phyllis : i did n't realize he was your possession , ashley . ashley : i 'm not gon na let you take advantage of him , phyllis . you 're not gon na monopolize his time or his energy . phyllis : whoa , nobody said anything about taking over his life . i just need him to help me finish a project . what do you need him for ? ashley : excuse me ? i hired him . and i value him greatly . phyllis : i see . ashley : he 's my right - hand man , and believe me , my project is gon na be his top priority . are we clear ? colin : you know , in view of my , uh , checkered past , i can understand your skepticism , but , um , i want nothing from you . i 'm doing this for the good of my marriage . lauren : i care about jill . i would n't be here if i did n't . so please tell her that that 's why i came here to talk to her . and if you really are being sincere and that we are on the same side , [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe i 'm saying this to you of all people ... but thank you . colin : no thanks necessary . let 's just hope this blows over and soon . jill : whatever you 're working on , you can stop . i have an offer to make to the three of you . cane : what ? what is it ? jill : i want to divest brash & sassy from chancellor . victoria : what ? why ? jill : i need to free up some cash . so if the three of you want to buy this company , it 's all yours . jack : this conversation is over . you can show yourself out . gloria : no , this is not finished , jack abbott . not by a long shot . jack : there is nothing left to discuss . as i 've explained to you , there is nothing , absolutely nothing , i can do for you , gloria . now , i suggest you suck it up and find a job elsewhere . gloria : [ chuckles ] do you think you can do this to me again ? toss me aside ? dismiss me as if i do n't matter ? no , sir . i will not be ignored . trust me , jack . i will not be ignored ! [ next_on ] billy : you already know what you want to do with the money . jill : oh , you 're damn right i do . victor : you built this company from the ground up . you should own the whole damn thing . buy it ! gloria : i have the right to talk about whatever i want to ! ashley : what the hell am i interrupting ?Summarize.[/INST]jill was furious when she read in the paper that lauren and jack had gone forward with the merger . jill vowed to fight to get her shares back . colin advised jill to let it go and focus on spending more quality time with him . victoria thanked billy for helping her get her relationship with reed back on track . victoria seemed captivated when billy took his shirt off to test their body spray . jack , ashley , phyllis , lauren and ravi had their first meeting about the jabot - fenmore 's merger . ashley disapproved when jack pulled ravi off of her project and told him to work with phyllis . lauren was happy with the way jack handled the meeting , but phyllis was n't sure she trusted him . phyllis urged lauren to go talk to jill . ravi was concerned about meeting the deadlines for both phyllis and ashley 's projects . lauren told him to make phyllis the priority . gloria confronted jack about upholding his promise to hire her at fenmore 's if she helped him buy the company . jack told her that there was nothing he could do . gloria told him she would n't be ignored .</s> | 16,306 |

[ sighs ] i thought we had an understanding . stitch : yeah , so did i . so , why 'd you lie to me , victoria ? tyler : abby , i honestly think that we 're just better off ignoring mariah . abby : yeah , 'cause that 's worked out well so far . tyler : she has n't come between us . abby : that does n't mean she 's gon na stop trying . tyler : look , i know mariah , all right ? now , if we just pretend that she does n't exist , she 'll get bored . she 'll leave us alone . abby : [ scoffs ] you seriously believe your whacko ex , a girl who pretended to be my dead niece , who is willing to drive someone she 's never even met crazy , who pulled all of the crap that she pulled on me , is just gon na walk away and let us live happily ever after ? tyler : [ sighs ] dr. mead : what is it , sharon ? what are you feeling ? sharon : the secret ... nick ca n't know . dr. mead : the thing that you 've been feeling guilty about ? sharon : i remember . dr. mead : that 's good , sharon . tell me what you remember . sharon : i did something , something i should n't have . dr. mead : what was it ? sharon : someone 's hurt . and it 's my fault . dr. mead : who ? sharon : i 'm sorry . dr. mead : who 'd you hurt , sharon ? sharon : i did n't mean to . nick : hey , it 's okay . dr. mead : tell me who you hurt , sharon . sharon : i 'm not supposed to be there ! dr. mead : it 's okay . go back there . tell me what you see . sharon : it 's dark . i 'm in a hurry . there 's something -- something i need to do , something important . dr. mead : what is it ? sharon : just stop . please stop ! dr. mead : who , sharon ? sharon : i do n't know ! i ... she ca n't do this ! i just want her to stop ! no ! oh , my god ! nick : okay , this is too much . it 's too much . dr. mead : what happened , sharon ? tell me -- tell me what you 're sorry for . sharon : i 'm so sorry . dr. mead : no , what are you sorry for , sharon ? sharon : no , no , no , no . i did n't mean to . i did n't mean to hurt you ! nick : bring her out of this right now . sharon : [ breathing heavily ] tyler : okay , so that 's your plan ? abby : you have a better one ? tyler : yeah , i say we just stay away from her . abby : uh , sorry , i 'm not gon na do that . tyler : okay , well , then just let me handle this . abby : [ laughs ] what ? you 're gon na try and reason with her ? i thought you said you knew this woman . tyler : all right , you know what ? i admit lately she 's been a little bit -- abby : uh , insane , irrational , crazy , obsessive , or all of the above ? tyler : okay , well , maybe if i just talk to her one on one . abby : just the two of you ? forget it . tyler : all right , well , i could hire a plane to fly a banner over her house . abby : tyler , if i thought that would work , i would hire the plane myself . but she is never gon na accept that you 've moved on . tyler : all right , well , then she 's gon na be living in lala land all by herself , all right , because i have moved on . abby , i love you , all right ? there 's nothing that mariah can say or do to change that . abby : apparently mariah did n't get the memo . i 'm not just gon na sit around here and wait to see what she 's gon na pull next . so , unless you have another idea that does n't involve hiring aircraft , we 're gon na go with my plan . tyler : [ sighs ] i do n't like it . abby : i 'm willing to go solo on this . tyler : no , no , no , no . look , i do not want you to confront mariah alone . abby : i 'm not scared of her . tyler : i know that , tough girl . i just ... abby : this plan 's gon na work . there 's only one thing mariah wants besides you . and i 'm gon na give her that . victoria : lying ? stitch : i spoke to your mom about the charity meeting benefit you were working on with her . you said that 's why you were at the hospital . victoria : are you checking up on me ? stitch : i ran into nikki , and we had some polite conversation . i thought we were friends , victoria . victoria : we are friends . stitch : then why 'd you lie to me about the hospital ? why not be honest ? victoria : you know , lately , i have been more honest with you than just about anybody in my life . stitch : and yet you still ca n't tell me the truth . um , i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] i - i know you 're dealing with a lot these days . victoria : you have no idea . stitch : look , you and i , we went from casual acquaintances to whatever this is really fast . but when something feels right , it 's just -- it 's hard to slow down . victoria : i ca n't . stitch : have -- have i done something wrong ? victoria : listen , no . other than showing up here when i told you that i needed space , no , you have n't . stitch : then tell me why you went to the hospital . victoria : [ sighs ] i have n't been feeling well lately . stitch : [ scoffs ] come on , victoria . i 'm a doctor . okay , eating a hot dog does n't send you to the hospital twice . victoria : well , maybe you missed that day in med school . stitch : what is really going on ? billy : you want me to prove to you i care for you ? chelsea : not like that . billy : [ chuckles ] chelsea : i just finished arranging a memorial service for adam . billy : oh , god . you do n't want me to go , right ? chelsea : no . billy : oh , 'cause i could spit on his grave or his ashes or whatever 's left of him . chelsea : i think it 's best you did n't attend . billy : okay , fine . so , what does adam have to do with me proving i care for you ? chelsea : now that adam 's officially been declared dead , his estate 's been settled . billy : well , then , i hope he gives you the whole shebang . you deserve it after everything he put you through . chelsea : adam does n't just owe me . he owes you , too , billy . and chloe . billy : that 's a debt that he could never repay . chelsea : maybe i could . billy : how ? chelsea : you would n't take adam 's money for the delia project . take mine . billy : chelsea , i appreciate the offer -- chelsea : so then take the money . billy : it 's still blood money . it 's just once removed . it 's adam trying to buy his way out of hell . and chloe would feel the same way . chelsea : maybe you could change her mind . billy : no . i ca n't . i ca n't take adam 's money , not even from you . chelsea : what about for your daughter ? could you do it for delia ? jack : i realize this probably is n't the best place for this . kelly : is there a good place to beg forgiveness for humiliating someone ? jack : i hurt you , and i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to do that . when we came here , i honestly thought i would be spending the rest of the night with you . and i ca n't tell you how much i regret doing that . kelly : you still have n't told me what brought about this sudden change of heart . jack : i spoke to summer . kelly : last time you did that , you decided you did n't want to be with me . jack : she realized , as much as she may want me to be with her mother , it would be wrong to keep me from living my life . kelly : well , that could n't have been easy for her . jack : i should have told her about us long ago . the truth is , i did n't see this coming . kelly : neither did i . jack : i 'm always looking for love in all the wrong places , and ... this time i was n't even looking , and ... and ... kelly : and ? so , summer wo n't stand in the way of us having a relationship ? jack : there is nothing to keep us from being together . kelly : what about phyllis ? jack : you said you understood how i feel about phyllis and you could deal with it . kelly : i thought i could . jack : something 's changed ? kelly : jack ... when i stood in front of you in the hotel room upstairs and ... fully exposed , and you chose to honor your commitment to phyllis ... jack : i know i hurt you . and i 'm sorry . it 's just ... summer has been through so much . kelly : yes , she has . and phyllis has been through even more . and if she wakes up from the coma , i mean , you 're gon na want to be with her . you said so yourself . and you should be . i heard the way that you talked about her , all her fire and her passion and how much you miss that , how much you miss her . jack : i just wanted to be honest with you . kelly : well , good guys always are . jack : but i hurt you , and that is not what i wanted at all . kelly : look , it 's not all your fault . i said i could deal with it . i wanted you so badly , i convinced myself that i could deal with whatever happened , even if it meant getting my heart broken again . jack : and now ? sharon : i kept saying i was sorry . obviously i remembered something that i regretted doing . dr. mead : it might have been completely unrelated to your secret . sharon : why did you have dr . mead bring me out of it ? nick : 'cause i was worried about you . dr. mead : i tried to tell you both that it was n't a good idea to have nick here when i hypnotized you . nick : well , i 'm glad i was . dr. mead : i think you 've had enough for one day . we can schedule another session . sharon : i want you to put me back under now . nick : no . no , we 're not doing this again . it 's too stressful . sharon : nick , i need to find out what i 'm hiding . nick : look , i do n't -- i do n't care , all right ? i already told you . i do n't care what this secret is . sharon : how can you say that when you do n't even know what it is ? nick : because it does n't matter to me . sharon : it matters to me . if i 'm carrying around a secret that could cause me to end up losing you , i would never feel that i deserve you or your love . nick : it scares me that you 're doing this . sharon : it scares me a lot more not to . you have to let me do this . dr. mead , i do n't want you to bring me out this time until i tell you my secret . dr. mead : [ sighs ] billy : are you seriously trying to use my daughter to guilt me into taking satan 's money ? chelsea : if you could just take all of your hatred for adam and put it aside for five seconds and focus on all the good things that this money could do for the delia project . billy : why ? so he can balance the karmic scales from hell ? chelsea : forget about adam . this is n't about adam . this is about delia . what she gave to connor . i mean , she gave him -- she gave him a miracle , billy . i want other parents , other kids to have miracles . they can have them if you just take the money ! think about all the hundreds -- no , the thousands of kids who can be exposed to the arts that delia loved . think about that . their lives can be enriched and improved if you just put them above your hatred for adam . billy : so i can either be the petty jerk that , uh , refuses a ridiculously generous contribution to the foundation bearing my child 's name ? chelsea : or you could graciously accept my donation . billy : well , contrary to , uh , overwhelming public opinion that , uh , you know , i ca n't rise above being a jerk , i think i 'll ... i 'll go with option `` b. `` chelsea : yes ! thank you ! you 'll take the donation ! billy , you will not regret it . thank you . thank you . billy : yeah , yeah , this pit that i 'm feeling at the bottom of my stomach ? chelsea : oh , that 's okay . you 're just not used to doing the right thing . [ both chuckle ] chelsea : and now you did . you did twice in the past week . look at that . billy : oh , really ? so , what was the other heroic deed that , uh , i unknowingly committed , huh ? chelsea : well , you took connor and me to the hospital after i slapped you for no reason . billy : well , i think an unwilling advance is a pretty good reason . chelsea : it was just a kiss . i should n't have made such a big deal about it , especially since you and i have already -- billy : yeah . chelsea : anyway , uh -- [ chuckles ] anyway , um , we both know why you did that , you know . it 's because victoria 's dating ... billy : yeah , you know what ? you do n't have to say his name , all right ? it just makes me want to put my hand through a wall . and my hand is healed , so ... chelsea : okay . this is me not causing your hand any further pain . done . billy : yeah , and , you know , and , uh , why hurt it again over somebody that 's not gon na be a problem soon anyway ? chelsea : billy ... why does that mean ? billy : it means that i 'm working on a way for dr . feelgood to stay out of victoria 's life for good . chelsea : no . that 's not a good idea . victoria : nothing is going on . i went to a charity board meeting that my mother did n't know about . then i saw my doctor for my annual checkup , and i got a prescription filled for johnny . that 's it . stitch : that 's kind of weird , all those trips to the hospital in such a short span of time . victoria : you know what 's kind of weird is you tracking my schedule . and honestly , it 's a little annoying . stitch : i did n't mean to overstep . victoria : look , you just went through a messy divorce , and maybe you and your ex - wife broke up because there were lies and there were secrets , and maybe that 's lowered the bar for you as far as trusting people , but you should n't project that onto me . stitch : i just felt like you were n't being honest with me . victoria : i am trying really hard to be honest with everybody involved in this situation right now . stitch : and i appreciate how hard this is for you , being pulled between me and billy . victoria : it 's a lot harder than you can imagine . stitch : if there 's anything i can do to help ... victoria : [ sighs ] no , there 's not . so , if there 's nothing else , then you should ... stitch : actually , there is one more thing . chelsea : you ... [ sighs ] you might make things worse with victoria if you cause trouble about stitch . billy : chelsea , i do n't think you understand what 's going on between the three of us . chelsea : i understand better than you think . billy : the guy is trying to steal my wife . chelsea : if victoria finds out that you 're snooping around in stitch 's past , she 's not gon na be happy about it . billy : she already knows . and you 're right . she 's not happy about it . but she will get over it when she realizes i 'm just trying to protect her . chelsea : what do you think you 're gon na find out about this guy ? he 's a war hero , a doctor . billy : [ laughs ] i do n't care if he 's miss america ! the guy 's hiding something ! chelsea : you think he 's hiding that he 's miss america ? billy : no , that 's not what i meant . although it 's not completely out of the realm of possibilities . chelsea : [ sighs ] okay , so -- so let 's say you find out some secret about this guy , huh ? that does n't automatically mean victoria 's gon na come running back into your arms . billy : i just do n't want to see her hurt . victoria is still my wife , whether some people want to choose to ignore it . chelsea : you guys are separated , billy . billy : she still loves me . i know it . i - i can even feel it sometimes , like the night of abby 's engagement party and when we kissed . i know she felt that , too . chelsea : but she did n't come back to you . billy : it 's because i hurt her badly . and i told her that i would give her the time to work through the pain . and rayburn is taking advantage of that when she 's vulnerable . chelsea : she does n't seem to mind . billy : chelsea ! chelsea : sorry . billy : when i find out what he is hiding , victoria 's not gon na want to have anything to do with him . chelsea : i just -- i do n't think it 's gon na be that easy to get stitch out of her life . stitch : i said i 'd give you space , and i will . but i want you to know i 'm here for you , no matter what . victoria : thank you . i appreciate that . stitch : and while you 're trying to figure things out ... keep this in mind . [ door closes ] victoria : [ sniffs ] billy : hello ? victoria : billy ? billy : hey , vicki , what 's up ? is everything all right ? victoria : uh , yeah . i need to talk to you . it 's important . billy : okay . victoria : can you come by the house ? billy : yeah , i can be there as soon as i can . hmm . that , uh , that was vicki . she wants to talk to me , said it was important . chelsea : that 's good . well , if you need anybody to talk to after you see victoria , i 'm a good listener . billy : thanks . cassie : ty . come in . [ chuckles ] abby : thank you . cassie : you brought your bodyguard . tyler : knock it off , mariah . abby : do n't worry , tyler . i can handle your ex . cassie : this is gon na be good . what have you got for me , princess ? abby : an offer you ca n't refuse . cassie : i 've heard that before . dr. mead : let 's go back to the night you were trying to get somewhere and someone was trying to stop you . and that night , you were anxious . but when you remember , you will feel relaxed and calm because a huge burden will be lifted from you . are you ready ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : something happened . it frightened you . you said you -- you did n't mean to do it . sharon : no . i did n't . dr. mead : and what happened next ? sharon : i ... i got in my car . my hands were shaking . i was scared , so scared . dr. mead : because of what you 'd done ? sharon : i felt so guilty . i wanted to get away , but this voice kept telling me i had to go back home , i had to do what was right for her . i was afraid that if nick found out what i 'd done , he would be angry . but i had to go back and face nick . dr. mead : did you ? sharon : yes . i went back home . dr. mead : is there anything else ? sharon : i do n't remember . dr. mead : i 'm going to count backwards from five , and when you wake up , you will feel calm and relaxed and remember everything that we talked about . five ... four ... three ... two ... one . [ snaps fingers ] sharon : [ sighs ] dr. mead : are you okay ? sharon : [ sighs ] i still do n't remember what my secret was . nick : i think i do . cassie : you gon na put a horse 's head in my bed if i do n't accept your `` offer `` ? abby : i would never hurt something as good and decent as a horse . tyler : okay , you know what , abs ? let 's just get this over with and get out of here , all right ? cassie : yeah , abs . abby : fine , let 's get started . should n't take long . i know how people like you operate . cassie : oh , did ty fill you in ? abby : tyler did n't have to tell me how you tick . if i want you to , i do n't know , say , impersonate my dead niece , all i have to do is pay you . cassie : and what is it you want me to do exactly ? abby : my dad paid you to stay in town and torment sharon . i 'll pay you double to leave . cassie : [ scoffs ] boy , you newmans sure do like to buy people . tell me , what 's the , uh , going rate for a husband from the wrong side of the tracks ? abby : for your information , tyler and i have a prenup . cassie : i 'll bet daddy made sure of that . abby : actually , tyler had it drawn up , so it looks like you 're the only one here who 's all about money . cassie : everybody is all about money . some of us just have to work harder for it . abby : [ scoffs ] and i can only imagine how hard you had to work . cassie : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 've seen some tough times . but some of my toughest times have also been my happiest , like when i was living in a dump in the hawthorne district and i had to figure out every day how i was gon na survive . abby : well , this will take care of your money worries . all you have to do is name your price . cassie : is that what you want ? sharon : you know what it is i 've been keeping from you ? nick : i think this is all about the fire at the ranch . sharon : but you already knew that . nick : this has obviously been weighing on your mind . sharon : i do n't know . nick : think about it , sharon . you said you felt guilty about something . i know you always felt bad about burning my dad 's house down . sharon : well , then why did i scream like i 'd seen something horrific ? nick : i do n't know . maybe you remember the house going up in flames . you were probably right next to it . you could have been right in the middle of it . sharon : well , if burning down victor 's house is the secret i was keeping , then ... it makes sense that i was apologizing , but who was i trying to stop ? no one was there when i started the fire . what woman would have been there ? nick : maybe it was n't a woman at all . maybe it was a little girl . sharon : what do you mean ? nick : do you remember a few weeks after the fire ? you said you felt like the walls were closing in . sharon : i ran off with faith . nick : you said faith begged you to take her home . sharon : she was crying in the back seat . nick : you were trying to stop her from crying . and you said that she was hurt . she was n't physically hurt . you were hurting her by taking her away from her family . sharon : and i felt awful . that 's why i brought her back home . nick : it all fits , sharon . it all fits . sharon : i guess so . nick : you convinced yourself that i would never forgive you for burning down my dad 's house or running off with faith . sharon : do you ? nick : sharon , you were sick . everyone turned their back on you , including me . if anyone needs to ask for forgiveness , it 's me . sharon : you 're not the one who did those horrible things . nick : and you are not that person anymore . you need to stop thinking the worst of yourself . you need to believe that . jack : i do n't want to break your heart . i do n't want to hurt you in any way at all . kelly : [ chuckles ] because , despite your arguments to the contrary , you are a good guy , jack . jack : after what i did to you the other night , you can still say that ? kelly : you know , it 's why i say it . i mean , come on . you 're a man . you have needs , needs that could have been met in that hotel room all night long . [ laughs ] but ... i think we both want more than that from each other . i mean , at least i do . jack : i want so much more than just sex with you . i feel connected to you in a way i ... i did n't think i ever would feel again . you remind me i love vivaldi and remind me i hate foreign films . kelly : [ exhales sharply ] jack : a walk in the park is like poetry and ... and you make me laugh . and you make me feel , feel in a way i - i did n't think that was possible anymore . i do n't want to walk away from that . maybe you do n't feel the same way . kelly : no , i do . jack : then -- then what ? what can i do to make this right ? kelly : transport us to another time , another place . jack : a place where phyllis does n't exist ? kelly : i 've lost so much , jack . i just do n't think i can stand to lose any more . victoria : you 're gon na have a good life , no matter who your dad is . [ doorbell rings ] billy : hey . victoria : hey . billy : tell me this is good news . chelsea : look at that one . it 's pretty , huh ? stitch : hey , chelsea . chelsea : stitch . hi . [ connor coos ] stitch : how you doing ? chelsea : i 'm , uh , i 'm okay , all things considered . stitch : i just heard about them finding adam 's body . i 'm so sorry . chelsea : thank you . at least now i can move on , build a life with my son . stitch : how 's the boy doing , huh ? anymore , uh , anymore bouts of the croup ? chelsea : no , so far , so good . luckily we did n't even end up using that refill on the prescription you gave me . stitch : all right , well , good , then do n't hesitate to call your doctor or take him into the e.r . if you feel something 's wrong . chelsea : yeah . i know . i just always feel like i 'm overreacting . i mean , thank god i had billy there the other night . huh ? [ connor shouts ] chelsea : [ laughs ] stitch : he made the right call bringing him in to the hospital . chelsea : yeah , well , it 's always good to have backup . johnny 's so lucky that he has billy and victoria . stitch : they 're great parents . chelsea : but , you know , that does n't mean that there is n't room for you in victoria 's life . victoria : um , okay , so i need to ask you a favor . billy : yeah , anything . victoria : i 'm going to d.c. for a few days . billy : to visit reed ? victoria : yeah . his baseball team starts their season . billy : oh , well , that 's awesome . i 'm sure he 'll be pumped to have you there . victoria : yeah , he will . but , um , you know , sitting for hours on end is n't really johnny 's thing , and with all of the upheaval that there 's been in his life , i just thought it would be better to leave him here in his own house and his bed and all . billy : and you want me to stay here at the house with him ? victoria : well , i mean , hannah will be here for most of it , too . would you mind ? billy : well , of course not . this is my house , too . victoria : okay . it 's just that , you know , i - i asked you to move out , and then here i am asking you to move back in . and when i get back , you 're just gon na -- billy : vicki , vicki , it 's not a problem , okay ? victoria : okay , great . are you sure ? billy : you know my son always comes first . cassie : what 's the matter , ty ? meal ticket got your tongue ? tyler : okay , mariah , you know what ? i know you do n't want to keep on living like this . cassie : answer my question . tyler : [ sighs ] cassie : do you want me to take abby 's bribe money ? tyler : i want you to go on with your life ... be happy . cassie : i want that for you , too . abby : great . then it 's settled . take the money , leave town , and we 'll all be happy . cassie : no deal . sharon : i 'd like to talk to dr . mead alone for a minute . nick : okay . i 'll be right outside . [ door closes ] sharon : do you think nick 's right ? that burning down victor 's house was my secret ? dr. mead : it was obviously a very traumatic experience for you and still unresolved . sharon : it just seems like there 's something more , something i ca n't remember . dr. mead : well , unfortunately , i ca n't tell definitively if there is or there is n't . but we can work on it at our next session . nick : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] sharon : all set . nick : sharon ? thank you . tyler : hey , look , do not let mariah get to you . abby : she obviously wanted that money . she was practically salivating over it , but did she take it ? no . because she 's still in love with you . tyler : no , she 's probably holding out for more zeroes . abby : no , she 's holding out for you . and she 's not gon na quit until she figures out a way to get you back . tyler : well , she 's wasting her time , then , because there 's nothing that mariah can do to break us up . abby : then why did i feel like the two of you were speaking in some secret language that i did n't understand ? sharon : what are you thanking me for ? burning down your dad 's house ? nick : you faced your fears . sharon : hmm . well , i had to figure out what i was keeping from you . nick : that had to be scary . but you did it . sharon : did i ? nick : yes , you did . and now we can move on with our lives . put this whole thing behind us . jack : the last thing in the world i want to do is hurt you . kelly : i understand that you 're in an impossible situation , jack . and i certainly hope that you do n't think that i 'm trying to make you choose between me and phyllis . jack : no , no , no . you 're forcing me to look at the truth . phyllis probably is n't coming back . kelly : oh , god , i hope for your sake that she does . but for my sake , jack , i have to let go . i ca n't get involved with a man and secretly hope that the woman he loves does n't wake up from a coma . jack : no , of course you ca n't . it 's wrong of me to ask that of anyone . especially you . kelly : you know , the sad thing is ... i think we could have been really good together . stitch : i thought you said i should n't count on victoria and billy staying apart . chelsea : and you told me that i have no way of knowing what 's gon na happen . you 're right . i mean , you ca n't predict the future , right ? stitch : you know , i - i do know one thing for sure . you ca n't get a better ice cream cone than they serve here in the park . how about i get us both one ? chelsea : yes . i 'd like that . stitch : [ laughs ] when does n't ice cream sound good , right ? chelsea : i ca n't think of one instance . nope , actually , that 's a lie . when i was pregnant both times . stitch : really ? chelsea : yeah . it 's actually how i discovered i was pregnant with connor . i had a big bowl of ice cream , and then i was sick as a dog after . stitch : well , that happens to a lot of pregnant women , you know ? chelsea : yeah . stitch : something that never made them nauseous before suddenly does . victoria : oh , i 'll be right out ! all right , no midnight jamming in the garage , no pizza for breakfast , and no skipping school , okay ? billy : [ laughs ] uh - oh . it looks like she found us out , dude .

[ sighs ] i - i know you 're dealing with a lot these days . victoria : you have no idea . stitch : look , you and i , we went from casual acquaintances to whatever this is really fast . but when something feels right , it 's just -- it 's hard to slow down . victoria : i ca n't . stitch : have -- have i done something wrong ? victoria : listen , no . other than showing up here when i told you that i needed space , no , you have n't . stitch : then tell me why you went to the hospital . victoria : [ sighs ] i have n't been feeling well lately . stitch : [ scoffs ] come on , victoria . i 'm a doctor . okay , eating a hot dog does n't send you to the hospital twice . victoria : well , maybe you missed that day in med school . stitch : what is really going on ? billy : you want me to prove to you i care for you ? chelsea : not like that . billy : [ chuckles ] chelsea : i just finished arranging a memorial service for adam . billy : oh , god . you do n't want me to go , right ? chelsea : no . billy : oh , 'cause i could spit on his grave or his ashes or whatever 's left of him . chelsea : i think it 's best you did n't attend . billy : okay , fine . so , what does adam have to do with me proving i care for you ? chelsea : now that adam 's officially been declared dead , his estate 's been settled . billy : well , then , i hope he gives you the whole shebang . you deserve it after everything he put you through . chelsea : adam does n't just owe me . he owes you , too , billy . and chloe . billy : that 's a debt that he could never repay . chelsea : maybe i could . billy : how ? chelsea : you would n't take adam 's money for the delia project . take mine . billy : chelsea , i appreciate the offer -- chelsea : so then take the money . billy : it 's still blood money . it 's just once removed . it 's adam trying to buy his way out of hell . and chloe would feel the same way . chelsea : maybe you could change her mind . billy : no . i ca n't . i ca n't take adam 's money , not even from you . chelsea : what about for your daughter ? could you do it for delia ? jack : i realize this probably is n't the best place for this . kelly : is there a good place to beg forgiveness for humiliating someone ? jack : i hurt you , and i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to do that . when we came here , i honestly thought i would be spending the rest of the night with you . and i ca n't tell you how much i regret doing that . kelly : you still have n't told me what brought about this sudden change of heart . jack : i spoke to summer . kelly : last time you did that , you decided you did n't want to be with me . jack : she realized , as much as she may want me to be with her mother , it would be wrong to keep me from living my life . kelly : well , that could n't have been easy for her . jack : i should have told her about us long ago . the truth is , i did n't see this coming . kelly : neither did i . jack : i 'm always looking for love in all the wrong places , and ... this time i was n't even looking , and ... and ... kelly : and ? so , summer wo n't stand in the way of us having a relationship ? jack : there is nothing to keep us from being together . kelly : what about phyllis ? jack : you said you understood how i feel about phyllis and you could deal with it . kelly : i thought i could . jack : something 's changed ? kelly : jack ... when i stood in front of you in the hotel room upstairs and ... fully exposed , and you chose to honor your commitment to phyllis ... jack : i know i hurt you . and i 'm sorry . it 's just ... summer has been through so much . kelly : yes , she has . and phyllis has been through even more . and if she wakes up from the coma , i mean , you 're gon na want to be with her . you said so yourself . and you should be . i heard the way that you talked about her , all her fire and her passion and how much you miss that , how much you miss her . jack : i just wanted to be honest with you . kelly : well , good guys always are . jack : but i hurt you , and that is not what i wanted at all . kelly : look , it 's not all your fault . i said i could deal with it . i wanted you so badly , i convinced myself that i could deal with whatever happened , even if it meant getting my heart broken again . jack : and now ? sharon : i kept saying i was sorry . obviously i remembered something that i regretted doing . dr. mead : it might have been completely unrelated to your secret . sharon : why did you have dr . mead bring me out of it ? nick : 'cause i was worried about you . dr. mead : i tried to tell you both that it was n't a good idea to have nick here when i hypnotized you . nick : well , i 'm glad i was . dr. mead : i think you 've had enough for one day . we can schedule another session . sharon : i want you to put me back under now . nick : no . no , we 're not doing this again . it 's too stressful . sharon : nick , i need to find out what i 'm hiding . nick : look , i do n't -- i do n't care , all right ? i already told you . i do n't care what this secret is . sharon : how can you say that when you do n't even know what it is ? nick : because it does n't matter to me . sharon : it matters to me . if i 'm carrying around a secret that could cause me to end up losing you , i would never feel that i deserve you or your love . nick : it scares me that you 're doing this . sharon : it scares me a lot more not to . you have to let me do this . dr. mead , i do n't want you to bring me out this time until i tell you my secret . dr. mead : [ sighs ] billy : are you seriously trying to use my daughter to guilt me into taking satan 's money ? chelsea : if you could just take all of your hatred for adam and put it aside for five seconds and focus on all the good things that this money could do for the delia project . billy : why ? so he can balance the karmic scales from hell ? chelsea : forget about adam . this is n't about adam . this is about delia . what she gave to connor . i mean , she gave him -- she gave him a miracle , billy . i want other parents , other kids to have miracles . they can have them if you just take the money ! think about all the hundreds -- no , the thousands of kids who can be exposed to the arts that delia loved . think about that . their lives can be enriched and improved if you just put them above your hatred for adam . billy : so i can either be the petty jerk that , uh , refuses a ridiculously generous contribution to the foundation bearing my child 's name ? chelsea : or you could graciously accept my donation . billy : well , contrary to , uh , overwhelming public opinion that , uh , you know , i ca n't rise above being a jerk , i think i 'll ... i 'll go with option `` b. `` chelsea : yes ! thank you ! you 'll take the donation ! billy , you will not regret it . thank you . thank you . billy : yeah , yeah , this pit that i 'm feeling at the bottom of my stomach ? chelsea : oh , that 's okay . you 're just not used to doing the right thing . [ both chuckle ] chelsea : and now you did . you did twice in the past week . look at that . billy : oh , really ? so , what was the other heroic deed that , uh , i unknowingly committed , huh ? chelsea : well , you took connor and me to the hospital after i slapped you for no reason . billy : well , i think an unwilling advance is a pretty good reason . chelsea : it was just a kiss . i should n't have made such a big deal about it , especially since you and i have already -- billy : yeah . chelsea : anyway , uh -- [ chuckles ] anyway , um , we both know why you did that , you know . it 's because victoria 's dating ... billy : yeah , you know what ? you do n't have to say his name , all right ? it just makes me want to put my hand through a wall . and my hand is healed , so ... chelsea : okay . this is me not causing your hand any further pain . done . billy : yeah , and , you know , and , uh , why hurt it again over somebody that 's not gon na be a problem soon anyway ? chelsea : billy ... why does that mean ? billy : it means that i 'm working on a way for dr . feelgood to stay out of victoria 's life for good . chelsea : no . that 's not a good idea . victoria : nothing is going on . i went to a charity board meeting that my mother did n't know about . then i saw my doctor for my annual checkup , and i got a prescription filled for johnny . that 's it . stitch : that 's kind of weird , all those trips to the hospital in such a short span of time . victoria : you know what 's kind of weird is you tracking my schedule . and honestly , it 's a little annoying . stitch : i did n't mean to overstep . victoria : look , you just went through a messy divorce , and maybe you and your ex - wife broke up because there were lies and there were secrets , and maybe that 's lowered the bar for you as far as trusting people , but you should n't project that onto me . stitch : i just felt like you were n't being honest with me . victoria : i am trying really hard to be honest with everybody involved in this situation right now . stitch : and i appreciate how hard this is for you , being pulled between me and billy . victoria : it 's a lot harder than you can imagine . stitch : if there 's anything i can do to help ... victoria : [ sighs ] no , there 's not . so , if there 's nothing else , then you should ... stitch : actually , there is one more thing . chelsea : you ... [ sighs ] you might make things worse with victoria if you cause trouble about stitch . billy : chelsea , i do n't think you understand what 's going on between the three of us . chelsea : i understand better than you think . billy : the guy is trying to steal my wife . chelsea : if victoria finds out that you 're snooping around in stitch 's past , she 's not gon na be happy about it . billy : she already knows . and you 're right . she 's not happy about it . but she will get over it when she realizes i 'm just trying to protect her . chelsea : what do you think you 're gon na find out about this guy ? he 's a war hero , a doctor . billy : [ laughs ] i do n't care if he 's miss america ! the guy 's hiding something ! chelsea : you think he 's hiding that he 's miss america ? billy : no , that 's not what i meant . although it 's not completely out of the realm of possibilities . chelsea : [ sighs ] okay , so -- so let 's say you find out some secret about this guy , huh ? that does n't automatically mean victoria 's gon na come running back into your arms . billy : i just do n't want to see her hurt . victoria is still my wife , whether some people want to choose to ignore it . chelsea : you guys are separated , billy . billy : she still loves me . i know it . i - i can even feel it sometimes , like the night of abby 's engagement party and when we kissed . i know she felt that , too . chelsea : but she did n't come back to you . billy : it 's because i hurt her badly . and i told her that i would give her the time to work through the pain . and rayburn is taking advantage of that when she 's vulnerable . chelsea : she does n't seem to mind . billy : chelsea ! chelsea : sorry . billy : when i find out what he is hiding , victoria 's not gon na want to have anything to do with him . chelsea : i just -- i do n't think it 's gon na be that easy to get stitch out of her life . stitch : i said i 'd give you space , and i will . but i want you to know i 'm here for you , no matter what . victoria : thank you . i appreciate that . stitch : and while you 're trying to figure things out ... keep this in mind . [ door closes ] victoria : [ sniffs ] billy : hello ? victoria : billy ? billy : hey , vicki , what 's up ? is everything all right ? victoria : uh , yeah . i need to talk to you . it 's important . billy : okay . victoria : can you come by the house ? billy : yeah , i can be there as soon as i can . hmm . that , uh , that was vicki . she wants to talk to me , said it was important . chelsea : that 's good . well , if you need anybody to talk to after you see victoria , i 'm a good listener . billy : thanks . cassie : ty . come in . [ chuckles ] abby : thank you . cassie : you brought your bodyguard . tyler : knock it off , mariah . abby : do n't worry , tyler . i can handle your ex . cassie : this is gon na be good . what have you got for me , princess ? abby : an offer you ca n't refuse . cassie : i 've heard that before . dr. mead : let 's go back to the night you were trying to get somewhere and someone was trying to stop you . and that night , you were anxious . but when you remember , you will feel relaxed and calm because a huge burden will be lifted from you . are you ready ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : something happened . it frightened you . you said you -- you did n't mean to do it . sharon : no . i did n't . dr. mead : and what happened next ? sharon : i ... i got in my car . my hands were shaking . i was scared , so scared . dr. mead : because of what you 'd done ? sharon : i felt so guilty . i wanted to get away , but this voice kept telling me i had to go back home , i had to do what was right for her . i was afraid that if nick found out what i 'd done , he would be angry . but i had to go back and face nick . dr. mead : did you ? sharon : yes . i went back home . dr. mead : is there anything else ? sharon : i do n't remember . dr. mead : i 'm going to count backwards from five , and when you wake up , you will feel calm and relaxed and remember everything that we talked about . five ... four ... three ... two ... one . [ snaps fingers ] sharon : [ sighs ] dr. mead : are you okay ? sharon : [ sighs ] i still do n't remember what my secret was . nick : i think i do . cassie : you gon na put a horse 's head in my bed if i do n't accept your `` offer `` ? abby : i would never hurt something as good and decent as a horse . tyler : okay , you know what , abs ? let 's just get this over with and get out of here , all right ? cassie : yeah , abs . abby : fine , let 's get started . should n't take long . i know how people like you operate . cassie : oh , did ty fill you in ? abby : tyler did n't have to tell me how you tick . if i want you to , i do n't know , say , impersonate my dead niece , all i have to do is pay you . cassie : and what is it you want me to do exactly ? abby : my dad paid you to stay in town and torment sharon . i 'll pay you double to leave . cassie : [ scoffs ] boy , you newmans sure do like to buy people . tell me , what 's the , uh , going rate for a husband from the wrong side of the tracks ? abby : for your information , tyler and i have a prenup . cassie : i 'll bet daddy made sure of that . abby : actually , tyler had it drawn up , so it looks like you 're the only one here who 's all about money . cassie : everybody is all about money . some of us just have to work harder for it . abby : [ scoffs ] and i can only imagine how hard you had to work . cassie : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 've seen some tough times . but some of my toughest times have also been my happiest , like when i was living in a dump in the hawthorne district and i had to figure out every day how i was gon na survive . abby : well , this will take care of your money worries . all you have to do is name your price . cassie : is that what you want ? sharon : you know what it is i 've been keeping from you ? nick : i think this is all about the fire at the ranch . sharon : but you already knew that . nick : this has obviously been weighing on your mind . sharon : i do n't know . nick : think about it , sharon . you said you felt guilty about something . i know you always felt bad about burning my dad 's house down . sharon : well , then why did i scream like i 'd seen something horrific ? nick : i do n't know . maybe you remember the house going up in flames . you were probably right next to it . you could have been right in the middle of it . sharon : well , if burning down victor 's house is the secret i was keeping , then ... it makes sense that i was apologizing , but who was i trying to stop ? no one was there when i started the fire . what woman would have been there ? nick : maybe it was n't a woman at all . maybe it was a little girl . sharon : what do you mean ? nick : do you remember a few weeks after the fire ? you said you felt like the walls were closing in . sharon : i ran off with faith . nick : you said faith begged you to take her home . sharon : she was crying in the back seat . nick : you were trying to stop her from crying . and you said that she was hurt . she was n't physically hurt . you were hurting her by taking her away from her family . sharon : and i felt awful . that 's why i brought her back home . nick : it all fits , sharon . it all fits . sharon : i guess so . nick : you convinced yourself that i would never forgive you for burning down my dad 's house or running off with faith . sharon : do you ? nick : sharon , you were sick . everyone turned their back on you , including me . if anyone needs to ask for forgiveness , it 's me . sharon : you 're not the one who did those horrible things . nick : and you are not that person anymore . you need to stop thinking the worst of yourself . you need to believe that . jack : i do n't want to break your heart . i do n't want to hurt you in any way at all . kelly : [ chuckles ] because , despite your arguments to the contrary , you are a good guy , jack . jack : after what i did to you the other night , you can still say that ? kelly : you know , it 's why i say it . i mean , come on . you 're a man . you have needs , needs that could have been met in that hotel room all night long . [ laughs ] but ... i think we both want more than that from each other . i mean , at least i do . jack : i want so much more than just sex with you . i feel connected to you in a way i ... i did n't think i ever would feel again . you remind me i love vivaldi and remind me i hate foreign films . kelly : [ exhales sharply ] jack : a walk in the park is like poetry and ... and you make me laugh . and you make me feel , feel in a way i - i did n't think that was possible anymore . i do n't want to walk away from that . maybe you do n't feel the same way . kelly : no , i do . jack : then -- then what ? what can i do to make this right ? kelly : transport us to another time , another place . jack : a place where phyllis does n't exist ? kelly : i 've lost so much , jack . i just do n't think i can stand to lose any more . victoria : you 're gon na have a good life , no matter who your dad is .

sonny : i was seduced . i did n't know how to get out of a business that gave me so much money , power . i thought the only way out was in a coffin . now , jason , you know , he changed all that . he solved all my problems . alexis : her pressure was stable . she was holding her own . why could n't you have waited just a little bit longer , jason ?

you fy a court order to operate ? do you have any idea what that can doo your career ? patrick : i just saved sam 's life . and there would n't have been an injunction if you had n't alarmed the patient 's mother and caused her to panic . noah : i did that to protect you from your own arrogance . bobbie : hey , what 's going on here ? noah : my genius son here just performed an illegal surgery . elizabeth : he just saved sam 's life . patrick : well , it turns out i 'm a better surgeon than my father ever dreamed of being , and it just kills you that sam 's surgery was a success and you were just wrong . ric : when did alexis lift the injunction ?

holly : when you ignored robert 's warnings and had to flirt with faison , getting yourself kidnapped , which meant he had to rescue you , which meant you both ended up -- anna : it 's ancient history . we all make mistakes , but my name has been cleared . there are no outstanding warrants for my arrest , and anybody else here who could say the same thing , you know , step forward . dillon : um , hi . robin , lulu , me -- we 're not wanted , as far as we know . anna : then you are more than welcome join me when i collect the half - million- dollar bounty , because i am handing my good - for - nothing ex - husband and his past - their - prime friends over to the authorities . lulu : think again . jane : sorry about the mix - up , boys , but i must say i was very impressed with your response time . you can expect a nice , big contribution for the widows and orphans fund this year . carly : that was interesting . jane : well , you ought to thank me for covering for you . calling in a false emergency can get you arrested , you know ? carly : i would be more concerned about jax finding out that you faked a heart attack . jane : well , i just wanted to find out how clever a girl you are . carly : and ? jane : well , it 's obvious you 're quite good at scheming , which is a terrible trait and one more reason why you do not deserve to be with jax . carly : you 're crazy . jax can scheme and lie with the best of them . jane : oh , now , you watch it now . carly : you raised a corporate raider . jax is as ruthless as any man . jane : that is about business . sadly , your main connection with jax is personal . carly : jax is very happy with our relationship . jane : jax has terrible taste in women and you are the worst of a bad lot . you do n't put him first , you 're still in love with another man . now , why should he devote himself to you ? emily : oh . oh . i never would 've dreamed it , but spontaneity really suits you . sonny : yeah ? emily : uh - huh . oh , god . sonny : what ? what , what , what , what ? emily : ohmy god . it 's a cop ! sonny : do n't woy about it . let me -- let me just -- how you doing , officer ?

officer : i could n't imagine what it 'd be like to own one of these . sonny : yeah , yeah . it 's changed my life . alexis : you need to pull through this . ric : hey . how 's sam doing ? alexis : nobody really knows . they went ahead with the surgery against a court order . ric : yeah , i heard . elizabeth and patrick drake were just arrested . alexis : ric , i 'm sorry about elizabeth , but it was her choice . ric : wait , wait . you want elizabeth arrested ? alexis : i do n't want anyone arrested . i wanted to spare sam the trauma of a life - threatening surgery . they could 've given the drugs a minute to work before they cut into her brain with a scalpel . god only knows what effect that 's going to have or if she 's even going to wake up . noah : ok , i have good news . looks like the surgery saved your daughter 's life . elizabeth : how come jason 's the only one in cuffs ? mac : because he has an extensive record and a history of violence . elizabeth : mac , he did n't do anything wrong . he was just a bystander . mac : i 'd be happy to handcuff all of you if you insist , but i wo n't uncuff him . patrick : i 'd like to know if our arrests were motivated by malice or incompetence , because the surgery was successful . the patient is alive . if alexis wanted to arrest her before the outcome , then you might want to check back -- jason : alexis knows the results . she 's with sam . elizabeth : so we 're being punished for saving sam ? epiphany was n't even in the o.r . mac : i understand that ms . johnson kept alexis at bay while the rest of you pulled a bait - and - switch . epiphany : so are you going to start shooting people for saving lives ? mac : i know it does n't sound fair , but you broke the law . as sam 's mother , alexis specifically got a court order that forbade surgery and you ignored it . jason : mac , you know what ? i 'm the only one who should be here , ok ? they only performed the surgery because i forced them to . i told dr . drake that i would shoot him if he did not operate on sam ! patrick : mr. morgan told -- elizabeth : that 's a lie and you know it . elizabeth : patrick wanted to operate . we all did . jason never threatened anyone . and i was there when patrick asked jason to cover , if it became necessary . patrick : hey , speak for yourself . mac : did jason threaten you , yes or no ? patrick : yes . after i asked him to . mac : the charges stick -- unless alexis drops them , you cop a plea , or the judge shows mercy . that 's the best i can do . jason will spend the night in jail because of his priors . the rest of you can probably be released if you find someone to post bail . stan : you arrest people for operating now ? what 's the bail on my mom ? epiphany : how 'd you hear ? stan : i was on my way to see jason for business , and then i found out that you were arrested for performing an unauthorized surgery ? epiphany : do n't worry about it . stan : no , it 's o i 'll have you out in no time . it 's ok . epiphany : i said forget it , stanford . your money 's no good here . stan : you 're just mad because after all the preaching you 've done about my life , you broke the law and you got caught . epiphany : do n't you get smart with me . i 'm a trained professional . you are a once - brilliant young man who turned into a life - wasting , no - good criminal by choice . so i said , put your money away . mama 's spending the night in jail . alexis : i could n't be happier about this , noah . however , i am a little confused . and quite frankly , a little suspect in that you told me just a few hours ago that this surgery was dangerous and could have dangerous side effects . noah : i gave you the best information i had at the time . ric : ok . do you have any doubts that the medication might have worked ? noah : yeah , some . but i do know that patrick 's surgery relieved the intracerebral edema . alexis : so what are the side effects ? noah : well , it 's too soon to know . but sam 's pupils are even and reactive , which is a very , very good sign . ric : ok , and your hopeful prognosis is not based on the fact that your son violated a court order and performed an illegal surgery ? noah : yes , i would protect my son , but i am speaking the truth . alexis : if this were a court , i would list you as a hostile witness . noah : we 're not in court . alexis : that 's actually a shame because court makes more sense to me . the system is , of course , one that i 'm familiar with . this , however , is out of my depth , being in a hospital . so naturally , i have to rely on you and rely on the nurses and their experience and expertise . so i -- i 'm certain that you can understand how concerned i am when i hear people talking to me about how patrick did the surgery in order to redeem himself because he lost another patient . or how i 'm concerned that you are defending your son , not because of his medical expertise , but because he is , understandably , your son and you want to protect him . i 'm concerned because the staff seems too biased to be able to treat sam effectively . here 's what i want -- i want sam addressed . not you , not patrick , not jason , not me . i want a doctor who will just give me the facts and treat her without any personal agendas . carly : i 've been burned badly by love in my life . last summer , i had a nervous breakdown because of it . and do n't bother tucking that away for future reference because jax knows all about it . jane : my son is far too accepting and tolerant for his own good . carly : during that time , i caused an accident that hurt jax very badly . and then , a few years back , there was that time that i embezzled quite a bit of money from him . jane : now , if this is meant to impress me , you have a ways to go . carly : there is no reason that jax should trust me , but he does . he sees me clearly , with no illusions . and he 's not afraid to call me on my stuff , which goes both ways because i 'm not afraid to call him on his , either . jax genuinely likes me just the way i am . jane : you say there 's a point to all this ? carly : yeah . i 'm not about to lose something so right because you do n't like me . luke : give papa the gun , gumdrop . take your finger off the trigger ! anna : listen to your father . lulu : i am not going to stand around and do nothing while she takes you into the authorities . robin : that 's not going to happen . robert : it 's not ? robin : no . anna : no . no . i got carried away . but you can understand why i would be angry at your father 's behavior . so hand the gun over , gumdrop , and we will negotiate a compromise , ok ? hand the gun over . robin : can i have it ? anna : do it . robin : please ? anna : right here . robin : thank you . anna : give me the gun . robin : no . i will hold to it for now , thank you . anna : is this the part where you start to make excuses for your father ? holly : robert , it 's obvious your ex - wife is spoiling for a fight . would you mind taking it somewhere else and leaving the rest of us in peace ? robin : you know what ? i agree with holly . it 's time for some family togetherness . robin : this is the first time that i have been with both of my parents together in , what , 15 years ? i know that may not mean anything to you , but to me , that 's pretty damn significant . so if it 's not too much to ask , can i please have just a few minutes of your undivided attention ? robert : you wo n't get an argument from me . but here 's a reality check -- the minute we turn our backs , the gang of four disappear into the jungle . robin : fine . it 's true . luke could end up the winner with all the jewels and miss holly . if claiming the bounty and winning the battle is more important to you than spending time with your daughter , then go ahead , finish your big adventure . hope it 's worth it . an : do n't do that , robin . robin : it 's your choice . jane : you 've been quite candid . it 's refreshing . but right now , i am less interested in what jax can do for you than what you can do for jax . carly : why do n't you ask jax ? jane : my son is a hopeless romantic . he believes that `` happily ever after `` exists somewhere , and by god , he wo n't give up until he finds it . in the process , the man has suffered more heartache than any man deserves . and i 'm afraid it 's all starting all over again with you . carly : you 're wrong . jane : really ? it is quite possible that jax 's relationship with you is more about brenda than about you or jax . carly : brenda ? how 's that ? jane : jax never got over his love for brenda nor hers for sonny . and now here jax is stealing sonny 's wife . carly : what stealing ? ex - wife , ok ? ex - wife . jane : the mother of his children . what a lovely way to one - up his nemesis . carly : ok . ok , you know what ? i considered that . in the beginning , i thought i was just revenge for all the bad blood between sonny and jax . but jax and i are so far past that now . you have no idea how much we trust each other . jane : well , i suppose trust is a good way to start . i mean , it 's a far cry from the epic love story of the ages . but then we ca n't be fussy , can we ? carly : you know what i can offer jax ? i want him to be happy . so much so , i 'm standing here taking your insults . and you know what ? i do n't even really know why i bother . i saw what happened when you threw ultimatums at jax . you lost , jane . as much as it hurt jax to turn his back on his mother , he chose courtney . jane : and we both know how well that worked out . carly : i vote we get along , r jax 's sake . jane : well , i 'll consider it . but first you have to pass one more test . sonny : what ? max : everything ok , boss ? sonny : everything 's fine , max . max : any problems with the car ? fender benders , dents , or dings ? sonny : uh -- max : she did n't overheat on you , did she ? sonny : no , the car 's running perfect . as a matter of fact , it 's waiting for you to test - drive her . yeah , have fun . [ car engine revving ] carly : it takes a real man to drive a car like this , max . someone strong and forceful . max : yeah ? well , you know -- carly : look at you . driving along at 250 miles an hour . i 'm not even the tiniest bit afraid . in fact , your need for speed is quite the turn - on . max : mm - hmm . carly : mmm , turn - on . singer : oh , oh we do n't want to miss oh , oh milo : what ? max : idiot , just do n't stand there . cover the door . i 'm going to take the car on a test drive . milo : did you check with the boss first ? max : it was his idea . the boss is being generous and fun . which is cause for concern . but befo this blows up in our faces , at least i get to drive a really cool car . sonny : so , here you go . where are you at with school ? emily : i actually feel pretty confident , and i have some breathing room right now . sonny : hmm . emily : mm - hmm . sonny : [ spanish accent ] terrific . [ normal voice ] let 's not waste any time . ah . emily : who are you calling ? sonny : yeah , hey . i need to see you right away . it 's important . bye . mac : is there anyone you 'd like to call , elizabeth ? elizabeth : no , thank you . jason : i 'll straighten this out with alexis . patrick : if there 's anyone to blame , it 's my father . he 's the one that told alexis the surgery is life - threatening . elizabeth : what are you doing here ? lucky : yeah , i was about to ask you the same thing . you let patrick drake talk you into helping with an illegal surgery ? elizabeth : no , that 's not quite how it went . lucky : you know what ? let 's just discuss this at home . i 'm going to try to get you out of here . elizabeth : no , no . honey , i appreciate it , but i 'm not leaving until we 've all been released . there are more than 29 million americans without insurance , holly : it 's a decent shiraz , a local wine . dillon : oh , no , thank you . i 'm not old enough to drink . holly : but you are to be married ? come on , we 're in the markham islands . you 're legal here . it 's an adventure . to robert . with any luck , he 'll have the sense to resist anna this time around . dillon : resist her ? he did try to kill her . holly : i can see i 'm going to have to teach you a thing or two about women . lulu : so is this your typical adventure ? you know , moments of pure terror , followed by total confusion , and then a lot of sitting around wondering what just happened ? luke : yeah , i guess so , pretty much . i guess the real excitement is in the surprise factor . you know , like when anna dropped out of the sky . that w a moment . poor australian did n't know what hit him , literally . lulu : yeah , well , she is good . luke : well , give yourself a couple of years , kiddo . i have a feeling you 're going to wreak havoc on some poor , unsuspecting spud . lulu : you do n't think that they 're still fighting , do you ? luke : i do n't hear robert screaming . [ lulu laughs ] luke : so i assume not . i 'll tell you , though , i would rather face bounty hunters any day than the kind of domestic drama that he 's in for . i do n't envy him . lulu : really ? luke : uh - uh . lulu : hmm . i envy robin . she 's got both her mother and her father ready and willing to talk to her together at the same time . robin : all right . how did you get here to begin with ? anna : ah , well , the wanted poster for your father popped up on the computer grid at the agency that i 'm working with now . and i tried to get in touch with you , but the hospital said you had taken a few days off , so i called mac . he said luke had taken off after holly , which meant that robert was probably chasing luke . and i figured you would n't be far behind , so i thought i 'd come join the party . robert : and line your pockets with a bit of money . anna : absolutely . it 's my 401-k . robert : yeah , the thing is , you see , you know that i 'm not a terrorist . robin : ok , time - out ! can you let business go for five minutes so we can talk about us ? anna : of course we can . what do you want to know ? robin : what i wt to know is -- are n't you just a little bit sorry ? jax : carly ? hey . carly : hi ! honey , you 're home ! jax : hey . carly : hi ! jax : the boys told me that mom was here . carly : yeah . jax : have you been up to your old tricks ? jane : hello , baby boy ! oh , your ears must have been burning . jax : hi . jane : how is jerry ? is he still having trouble with those yaks ? jax : yeah . jane : oh , carly , carly , will you please get -- carly : oh , right . jane : a glass of the family recipe ? jax : oh , no , mom , you didn't . carly : it took two batches , but i finally got it right . jane : oh , that is one smart woman , jax . and a spot - on cook . jax : carly cooked the recipe all by herself ? carly : taste it before you mock me . jax : ok . ooh , yeah , that 's the family recipe . carly : it 's the hot sauce that makes it . jax : you know , this stuff is lethal . you know , the hangover lasts a week . jane : oh , leave her alone , jax . she -- she is one tough cookie . in fact , we are going to take a nice , long hike tomorrow . and we 're going to make our plans while we trek the bush . carly and jax : what plans ? jane : well , i 'm wide open on tuesday . i can plan a lovely wedding by then . [ emily laughs ] sonny : they -- ric : what 's the emergency ? sonny : who said anything about an emergency ? ric : oh , i 'm sorry . you said it was important . i 've been dealing with all this craziness at the hospital . alexis is out of her mind with worry , and so -- sonny : no , you know what ? forget alexis for a second . jason , sam -- everything else , you know , that has you so stressed out and hyper . you need to take a break . which is why we 're all going to go to vegas . jason : you should have left with lucky . elizabeth : it 's ridiculous that we 've all been arrested . sam needed that surgery . mac : i 'm sorry , lucky , i ca n't force elizabeth to leave . lucky : it 's ridiculous . mac : i know . look , i can bring her out here if you want to talk to her . lucky : no . i want to talk to patrick drake . patrick : just so you know , i do n't do the whole noble thing . as soon as my lawyer walks in , i 'm out of here . mac : dr. drake ? patrick : as if on cue -- lucky : you happy now ? patrick : excuse me ? lucky : you 've been sniffing around elizabeth for weeks . now you 're responsible for her being arrested . you want to tell me exactly what 's going on between you and my wife . jason : do you think sam 's awake ? epiphany : there 's no way to know . elizabeth : i know alexis knows the surgery was successful . just let her calm down . she 'll drop the charges . we can all go home . jason : my problems with alexis are just starting . noah : all right , the tests look good . alexis : why is n't she waking up ? noah : oh , it 's much too soon to be alarmed . alexis : noah , what are you glossing over ? noah : well , it 's possible that despite patrick 's skill and timing , there could be complications . alexis : from the surgery ? noah : or from the underlying injury . i mean , we wo n't know for sure until sam wakes up . stay tuned for scenes from the next `` general hospital . `` [ next_on ] jax : there 's absolutely no way that we are getting married . emily : vegas ? with ric ? ric : why ? emily : i 'd like to hear the answer to that myself . mac : d.a . davis has decided to drop the charges . alexis : i am willing to put what 's happened behind us . jason : in return for what ? | anna is angry that robert let her have amnesia for years and did nothing ; he protests he was protecting her . emily is stunned to see how free sonny suddenly feels . alexis tells jason that if sam dies , it 's his fault . however , the surgery goes well . despite this , epiphany , jason , liz , and patrick are arrested . it turns out , jane was faking her heart incident . carly refuses to let go of jax . the kids defy anna and refuse to let her take robert , luke , and holly in for the bounty . needless to say , robert 's ex wives are not glad to see each other . a cop interrupts sonny and emily 's make - out session , because he wants to look at the car . max is still dreaming of carly . liz refuses to leave until everyone is released , despite lucky trying to get her out . carly and lady jane get drunk and jane starts planning a wedding . sonny decides he , emily , and ric should go to vegas . | <s>[INST] robin : mom ? anna : oh . hi . robin : hi ! anna : oh , god . oh , i missed you so much . are you all right ? robin : yes , i 'm fine . robert : anna . anna : hold this for a second . robin : uh , sure . robert : it 's been a while . anna : yeah , it 's been too long . you miserable son of a bitch ! robert : guess i had that coming . anna : oh , baby , i 'm just getting starard . ah ! robert : i do n't want to hurt you . anna : believe me , those days are over . jane : jax has terrible judgment in women , all of his women . i thought he 'd finally learned his lesson from courtney , but incredibly , he 's sunk even lower with you . which is why i will shortly win this game and guarantee you are nothing but a temporary distraction . carly : you know what ? i think i could grow to dislike you as much as you dislike me . i win . jane : well , it 's still temporary . i so wanted to avoid any unpleasantness , but let me be clear -- there is no way i will allow my son to invest his heart in a lying tramp like you . carly : well , let me be clear -- i do n't need your approval . and get used to this . i will be with jax anytime , any way , and anywhere i please -- permanently , temporarily , whatever . that 's up for me and jax to decide , ok ? do you understand ? oh , my god ! jane ? jane oh , my god . [ carly grunts ] carly : ok , she 's still breathing . that 's a good sign . all right . ok , all right , her pulse is steady . jane ? all right , carly , call the ambulance . oh . carly : jax will never forgive me if i kill his mother . emily : what are you doing ? right here like this ? sonny : what do you mean ? why not ? emily : it 's just -- you 're always such a private person . sonny : i just want to be different . emily : wait . sonny , what is going on with you ? sonny : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to push you . emily : no . wait . sonny , i 'm just trying to make sense . you 're the most private man i 've ever known . so when you say that you want to make love in the back seat of a car out here in public , it just took me by surprise . sonny : i just had a feeling of being impulsive . so what 's -- that 's not a big deal , rit ? emily : oh , i know , but getting all hot and bothered at vista point may be sexy in theory , but it could be embarrassing in practice . sonny : so you think taking a risk is not interesting to you at all ? emily : no , i 'm just saying that the man i know would never suggest doing something with the potential for public scrutiny . so i guess what i want to know is , who are you , and what have you done with sonny ? alexis : you bastard . you went ahead and did it anyway ? jason : you 're too late . alexis : you get your han off me . jason : it 's already started . it 's almost done . elizabeth : tell me it 's not as bad as it looks . patrick : we need to hurry , people . when the d.a . puts us on trial , it 'll help our case immensely if our patient is alive . alexis : if sam dies , i will personally see you put away for murder . jason : this operation is sam 's best chance . alexis : this operation is illegal , and i have an injunction .

sonny : i was seduced . i did n't know how to get out of a business that gave me so much money , power . i thought the only way out was in a coffin . now , jason , you know , he changed all that . he solved all my problems . alexis : her pressure was stable . she was holding her own . why could n't you have waited just a little bit longer , jason ? you always have to play god . you are n't , and you put her at risk . patrick : i ca n't visualize -- nurse : b.p . at 94/52 . how much longer ? patrick : too long . alexis : i had about one second with her . jason : she 's not dead . alexis : well , she 's not doing very well , is she ? you heard the alarm . that ca n't be a good sign , jason . you are responsible . you are responsible because you got her shot , and now you put her under the knife for a surgery that she may not be strong enough to take . and your 11th - hour disclosure that i 'm her mother does n't make up for your irresponsible actions . i swear to god , if anything happens to her , i will never forgive you ! patrick : sam 's alive . jason : is she ok ? patrick : it 's too early to tell if there 's brain damage , but the edema has been incised . she has a chance to live . i still love looking at her , robin : mom , you have every right to be angry with dad . he 's a jerk , ok , but kicking his butt right now is not going to change anything . luke : hey , back off , medicine woman . let them at it . this is entertaining . anna : are you luke spencer ? luke : i am . anna : oh , yes . i hear you 're about as big a deadbeat as robert . lulu : hey , that 's my deadbeat you 're talking about . luke : and that 's my daughter . ai n't she sweet ? anna : you should be happy she 's alive . nice job . way to go , spreading a life- threatening virus to innocent people , including your daughter and mine . robin : mom , we 're fine now . anna : yeah , i know . i 'm incredibly grateful . correct me if i 'm wrong -- luke : uh - huh . anna : but are n't you and robert playing footsie with the heartless tramp who tried to profit off the antidote ? holly : i see that you 're still the same ice - cold , heartless , abrasive bitch you always were . emily : i guess we owe jason our gratitude for making this all possible . sonny : hey , hey , hey , you know what ? do n't get me wrong . i 'm still furious at jason for , you know , turning on me . i mean , that kind of trust -- you lose that , it 's hard to get over . but i 'm -- i 'm adjusting to a different kind of life . i get up every morning and it 's easier to breathe . i just appreciate , you know , how hard i 've worked , the risks that i 've taken . it 's time to enjoy it , ani want to enjoy it with you , ok ? it 's time for us to have fun , to , you know , take some chances that do n't involve guns and bombs . emily : as long as you 're happy . sonny : you make me happy . and i want to do the same for you , ok ? ok ? emily : ok . sonny : ok , let 's go . what ? emily : wait , hold on . what happened to your idea of making love in the back seat of the car ? sonny : i thought you hated it . emily : oh , i could be proven wrong . risky , but with no guns and no bombs , what 's the worst that could happen ? patrick : you were great there . elizabeth : well , you , too . you 're every bit as brilliant as you claim to be . it was an honor to be on your team . patrick : well , you 're already a great o.r . nurse , and i like to be right . noah : patrick , are you out of your mind ? you fy a court order to operate ? do you have any idea what that can doo your career ? patrick : i just saved sam 's life . and there would n't have been an injunction if you had n't alarmed the patient 's mother and caused her to panic . noah : i did that to protect you from your own arrogance . bobbie : hey , what 's going on here ? noah : my genius son here just performed an illegal surgery . elizabeth : he just saved sam 's life . patrick : well , it turns out i 'm a better surgeon than my father ever dreamed of being , and it just kills you that sam 's surgery was a success and you were just wrong . ric : when did alexis lift the injunction ? elizabeth : she did n't , exactly , but it should n't matter . det . rodriguez : elizabeth , were you part of the team that operated on sam mccall ? elizabeth : i was . det . rodriguez : who was the surgeon ? patrick : i was . why ? det . rodriguez : you 're both under arrest . alexis : all right , sam , you made it this far . now you got to keep fighting your way back . jason : i just want to thank you for everything you did . epiphany : i was just following doctor 's orders . mac : jason , i have a warrt for your arrest for ignoring a court order , conspiracy . you put a woman through surgery without her consent . epiphany : somebody ought to read the woman 's chart before they start making judgments . jason : take a look in the room . she 's alive , mac . mac : i 'm glad . i mean it , i 'm glad sam made it through . maybe a judge will show compassion . but you broke the law . i ca n't ignore it . so did epiphany johnson . epiphany : you 're arresting me , too ? mac : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and wilbe used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . luke : ladies , please , decorum . this one packs a hell of a wallop , english . you know how easily that porcelain skin bruises . holly : i 'm not afraid of her . anna : well , no one ever accused you of excess intelligence . holly : at least i 'm not a hypocrite you pass yourself off as a paragon of law and order . you were the same woman who hid robert 's daughter from him for the first seven years of her life . anna : and this became any of your business , uh , when ? holly : when you ignored robert 's warnings and had to flirt with faison , getting yourself kidnapped , which meant he had to rescue you , which meant you both ended up -- anna : it 's ancient history . we all make mistakes , but my name has been cleared . there are no outstanding warrants for my arrest , and anybody else here who could say the same thing , you know , step forward . dillon : um , hi . robin , lulu , me -- we 're not wanted , as far as we know . anna : then you are more than welcome join me when i collect the half - million- dollar bounty , because i am handing my good - for - nothing ex - husband and his past - their - prime friends over to the authorities . lulu : think again . jane : sorry about the mix - up , boys , but i must say i was very impressed with your response time . you can expect a nice , big contribution for the widows and orphans fund this year . carly : that was interesting . jane : well , you ought to thank me for covering for you . calling in a false emergency can get you arrested , you know ? carly : i would be more concerned about jax finding out that you faked a heart attack . jane : well , i just wanted to find out how clever a girl you are . carly : and ? jane : well , it 's obvious you 're quite good at scheming , which is a terrible trait and one more reason why you do not deserve to be with jax . carly : you 're crazy . jax can scheme and lie with the best of them . jane : oh , now , you watch it now . carly : you raised a corporate raider . jax is as ruthless as any man . jane : that is about business . sadly , your main connection with jax is personal . carly : jax is very happy with our relationship . jane : jax has terrible taste in women and you are the worst of a bad lot . you do n't put him first , you 're still in love with another man . now , why should he devote himself to you ? emily : oh . oh . i never would 've dreamed it , but spontaneity really suits you . sonny : yeah ? emily : uh - huh . oh , god . sonny : what ? what , what , what , what ? emily : ohmy god . it 's a cop ! sonny : do n't woy about it . let me -- let me just -- how you doing , officer ? officer : step out of the car , please . sonny : oh . all right . sonny : beautiful night , is n't it , officer ? you can see the city lights from up here . is there a problem ? officer : tally amazing . i have n't seen anything like this up close . sonny : excuse me ? officer : i could n't imagine what it 'd be like to own one of these . sonny : yeah , yeah . it 's changed my life . alexis : you need to pull through this . ric : hey . how 's sam doing ? alexis : nobody really knows . they went ahead with the surgery against a court order . ric : yeah , i heard . elizabeth and patrick drake were just arrested . alexis : ric , i 'm sorry about elizabeth , but it was her choice . ric : wait , wait . you want elizabeth arrested ? alexis : i do n't want anyone arrested . i wanted to spare sam the trauma of a life - threatening surgery . they could 've given the drugs a minute to work before they cut into her brain with a scalpel . god only knows what effect that 's going to have or if she 's even going to wake up . noah : ok , i have good news . looks like the surgery saved your daughter 's life . elizabeth : how come jason 's the only one in cuffs ? mac : because he has an extensive record and a history of violence . elizabeth : mac , he did n't do anything wrong . he was just a bystander . mac : i 'd be happy to handcuff all of you if you insist , but i wo n't uncuff him . patrick : i 'd like to know if our arrests were motivated by malice or incompetence , because the surgery was successful . the patient is alive . if alexis wanted to arrest her before the outcome , then you might want to check back -- jason : alexis knows the results . she 's with sam . elizabeth : so we 're being punished for saving sam ? epiphany was n't even in the o.r . mac : i understand that ms . johnson kept alexis at bay while the rest of you pulled a bait - and - switch . epiphany : so are you going to start shooting people for saving lives ? mac : i know it does n't sound fair , but you broke the law . as sam 's mother , alexis specifically got a court order that forbade surgery and you ignored it . jason : mac , you know what ? i 'm the only one who should be here , ok ? they only performed the surgery because i forced them to . i told dr . drake that i would shoot him if he did not operate on sam ! patrick : mr. morgan told -- elizabeth : that 's a lie and you know it . elizabeth : patrick wanted to operate . we all did . jason never threatened anyone . and i was there when patrick asked jason to cover , if it became necessary . patrick : hey , speak for yourself . mac : did jason threaten you , yes or no ? patrick : yes . after i asked him to . mac : the charges stick -- unless alexis drops them , you cop a plea , or the judge shows mercy . that 's the best i can do . jason will spend the night in jail because of his priors . the rest of you can probably be released if you find someone to post bail . stan : you arrest people for operating now ? what 's the bail on my mom ? epiphany : how 'd you hear ? stan : i was on my way to see jason for business , and then i found out that you were arrested for performing an unauthorized surgery ? epiphany : do n't worry about it . stan : no , it 's o i 'll have you out in no time . it 's ok . epiphany : i said forget it , stanford . your money 's no good here . stan : you 're just mad because after all the preaching you 've done about my life , you broke the law and you got caught . epiphany : do n't you get smart with me . i 'm a trained professional . you are a once - brilliant young man who turned into a life - wasting , no - good criminal by choice . so i said , put your money away . mama 's spending the night in jail . alexis : i could n't be happier about this , noah . however , i am a little confused . and quite frankly , a little suspect in that you told me just a few hours ago that this surgery was dangerous and could have dangerous side effects . noah : i gave you the best information i had at the time . ric : ok . do you have any doubts that the medication might have worked ? noah : yeah , some . but i do know that patrick 's surgery relieved the intracerebral edema . alexis : so what are the side effects ? noah : well , it 's too soon to know . but sam 's pupils are even and reactive , which is a very , very good sign . ric : ok , and your hopeful prognosis is not based on the fact that your son violated a court order and performed an illegal surgery ? noah : yes , i would protect my son , but i am speaking the truth . alexis : if this were a court , i would list you as a hostile witness . noah : we 're not in court . alexis : that 's actually a shame because court makes more sense to me . the system is , of course , one that i 'm familiar with . this , however , is out of my depth , being in a hospital . so naturally , i have to rely on you and rely on the nurses and their experience and expertise . so i -- i 'm certain that you can understand how concerned i am when i hear people talking to me about how patrick did the surgery in order to redeem himself because he lost another patient . or how i 'm concerned that you are defending your son , not because of his medical expertise , but because he is , understandably , your son and you want to protect him . i 'm concerned because the staff seems too biased to be able to treat sam effectively . here 's what i want -- i want sam addressed . not you , not patrick , not jason , not me . i want a doctor who will just give me the facts and treat her without any personal agendas . carly : i 've been burned badly by love in my life . last summer , i had a nervous breakdown because of it . and do n't bother tucking that away for future reference because jax knows all about it . jane : my son is far too accepting and tolerant for his own good . carly : during that time , i caused an accident that hurt jax very badly . and then , a few years back , there was that time that i embezzled quite a bit of money from him . jane : now , if this is meant to impress me , you have a ways to go . carly : there is no reason that jax should trust me , but he does . he sees me clearly , with no illusions . and he 's not afraid to call me on my stuff , which goes both ways because i 'm not afraid to call him on his , either . jax genuinely likes me just the way i am . jane : you say there 's a point to all this ? carly : yeah . i 'm not about to lose something so right because you do n't like me . luke : give papa the gun , gumdrop . take your finger off the trigger ! anna : listen to your father . lulu : i am not going to stand around and do nothing while she takes you into the authorities . robin : that 's not going to happen . robert : it 's not ? robin : no . anna : no . no . i got carried away . but you can understand why i would be angry at your father 's behavior . so hand the gun over , gumdrop , and we will negotiate a compromise , ok ? hand the gun over . robin : can i have it ? anna : do it . robin : please ? anna : right here . robin : thank you . anna : give me the gun . robin : no . i will hold to it for now , thank you . anna : is this the part where you start to make excuses for your father ? holly : robert , it 's obvious your ex - wife is spoiling for a fight . would you mind taking it somewhere else and leaving the rest of us in peace ? robin : you know what ? i agree with holly . it 's time for some family togetherness . robin : this is the first time that i have been with both of my parents together in , what , 15 years ? i know that may not mean anything to you , but to me , that 's pretty damn significant . so if it 's not too much to ask , can i please have just a few minutes of your undivided attention ? robert : you wo n't get an argument from me . but here 's a reality check -- the minute we turn our backs , the gang of four disappear into the jungle . robin : fine . it 's true . luke could end up the winner with all the jewels and miss holly . if claiming the bounty and winning the battle is more important to you than spending time with your daughter , then go ahead , finish your big adventure . hope it 's worth it . an : do n't do that , robin . robin : it 's your choice . jane : you 've been quite candid . it 's refreshing . but right now , i am less interested in what jax can do for you than what you can do for jax . carly : why do n't you ask jax ? jane : my son is a hopeless romantic . he believes that `` happily ever after `` exists somewhere , and by god , he wo n't give up until he finds it . in the process , the man has suffered more heartache than any man deserves . and i 'm afraid it 's all starting all over again with you . carly : you 're wrong . jane : really ? it is quite possible that jax 's relationship with you is more about brenda than about you or jax . carly : brenda ? how 's that ? jane : jax never got over his love for brenda nor hers for sonny . and now here jax is stealing sonny 's wife . carly : what stealing ? ex - wife , ok ? ex - wife . jane : the mother of his children . what a lovely way to one - up his nemesis . carly : ok . ok , you know what ? i considered that . in the beginning , i thought i was just revenge for all the bad blood between sonny and jax . but jax and i are so far past that now . you have no idea how much we trust each other . jane : well , i suppose trust is a good way to start . i mean , it 's a far cry from the epic love story of the ages . but then we ca n't be fussy , can we ?

i think there are people in this town that have been married a lot more times than i have , sandy . sandy : well , how many are we talking here , harley ? does n't matter . because i think it takes someone very brave to try it more than once . you know , if it at first you do n't succeed and all that . it 's better than getting all cynical and just shutting down . i hope i 'm brave enough to try it once . any advice ?

[ breathes deeply ] wyatt : you hurt ? liam : you know , i think between us , i 'm the one who got off easy ? wyatt : what a night . liam : where ... where do you think she 'll go ? wyatt : she does n't know how to hide . and why should she ? she thinks that everyone else is wrong and that she 's right . that 's how we ended up living in the warehouse . it 's a stroke of genius on my part . zoned commercial so that we 'd have no neighbors . liam : i ... i get it . i get it now , everything you 've had to deal with . wyatt : i am so sorry for all this . liam : listen ... you saved my life . wyatt : i know . i mean , maybe -- maybe i always knew this day was coming , you know ? i just wanted to be a hero for her . and just ... i always knew it was doomed . i just did n't want to be alone . liam : you are not alone , brother . i owe you my life . from this point forward , there is no such thing as `` alone . ``Summarize.[/INST]liam is quivering on the floor with quinn holding the sword to his neck . she rants that she told him over and over but he would not listen . he begs her not to do this as everyone will know and she will lose wyatt . she says he is just a random bag of blood that no one will miss . wyatt and hope are not weaklings like him and they will get on with their lives . he breaks away temporarily but she grabs him and he lands on the floor prone again with her bending over him with the sword this time right at his chest . she draws it back with both hands and is about to plunge it just as wyatt barges in and calls her name and for her to stop . she tells wyatt to leave ; just meet her back home . he yells again for her to back off and he comes and pulls her off of liam . he helps liam to the couch . he tells his mom that she swore to him if this ever happened again that she would come to him first . her excuse was he does n't understand what liam said to her . she says she is the only one who is thinking clearly . wyatt makes an attempt to get to the telephone to call the police but quinn knocks it away . he says he came there to keep her from destroying herself ; that is what he always does . she says she would have gone away and then he would have the life he wanted . he 's outraged that she would think that he would step over his dead brother 's corpse and claim his spoils . he does n't need hope that badly . does she think he is that desperate and pathetic . she rages that no , it 's liam who is the pathetic one . wyatt should have what he has . wyatt says she is lucky . he could have had her thrown in jail but he asked liam not to . and he listened . he asks if she is going to kill him too .because after tonight this is going to be the end of the road for one of them . he 's the one that has kept her from being put away all these years . he points to liam and says that is his brother . he 's never had a brother . he never had anyone but her to run his behavior by , nobody to challenge that twisted world that she had . liam is the one who made him want to be a better person ; if he wanted something he had to deserve it . and all he wanted was the best for hope but guess what , it was n't him . now he 's glad hope did n't pick him . he would not want her to live in this crazy quinn world that she created . he tells her to keep her secrets as he already knows too much as it is . the only person she hurt tonight was his and her life . she calms down and even puts her arms around wyatt and says things will be fine . this is n't the end of the world . it is n't the end of anything . life is not over . she says liam is not hurt ; he 's just angry . and she knows she has been terrible to him but she thinks he understands . she points out that she is a very passionate person ; a strong person and sometimes feelings are so powerful they can not control them . wyatt steels himself and says she should go to prison for this . she 's shocked that wyatt would say such a thing . liam is angry tonight but he does n't really care . tomorrow all the little lost kittens and puppies will be the most important thing . she says she never has to see liam again ; never cross his path if that will be good enough for wyatt . he says he can not do this anymore . he is done . stunned , she says she is his mother . she is the one person he can never be done with . she has devoted her life to him and made sacrifices . that should be enough . she grabs the sword but wyatt takes it away and stabs it into the couch . he tells her it is over . if she can hear anything he says tonight let it be known that life as they knew it as mother and son is over ! he 's been her keeper for so long that it is making him as crazy as she is and he is done . he does not care who she is . she looks so forlorn , then runs out . wyatt starts to go after her or call the police or something . but liam convinces him to just let her go .</s> | 4,771 |

marlena : the problem is i do n't trust you . nicole : i do n't -- i do n't understand . i mean , clearly i 'm on the same side as you . so why now -- this is about eric , is n't it ? adrienne : i am so sorry , marge . i know the truth must have been so difficult to hear . marge : the truth ... you have no idea what the truth is . you struck up a friendly conversation with my son so you could sneak a look at his belongings . adrienne : no , he dropped his bag and his little passbook . i was only trying to help . marge : you were only trying to help yourself worm your way back into your husband 's good graces . adrienne : no . that 's not why i came forward . i always said i wanted justice . is n't that what you want too ? marge : my husband is dead ... dead ! the only justice is if sami brady spends the rest of her life behind bars . melinda : mr. fallon , please describe your encounter with the defendant on may 8th of this year . nick : yes , ma'am . on may 8th , i confronted ms . brady . melinda : why ? nick : i was upset because she had stolen some cash from my room . melinda : how much cash ? nick : $ 30,000 . melinda : why would she do that ? nick : i 'm not sure . melinda : and what happened when you confronted ms . brady about the stolen money ? nick : she denied it , uh , which was a lie . melinda : and how -- how did you know that ? nick : because she returned it to me . melinda : so back to the night in question -- what happened after she falsely protested her innocence ? nick : she pulled a gun from her purse , and she threatened to -- to kill me . melinda : does this look like the gun in question ? nick : yes . melinda : this is the gun ms . brady admitted she used to shoot detective bernardi . so , on the night of may 8th , did you have reason to believe that she would follow through with that threat ? nick : i did . melinda : and what would that reason be ? nick : she said it would n't be the first time she 'd shot someone . melinda : and it would n't be the last . fighting constipation jj : hey . i 'm glad to see you back on the outside , man . rory : i 'm surprised your mom let you out of your cage , man . jj : she did n't , but i 'm 18 , you know ?

jennifer : well , justin got the charges , um , reduced to a misdemeanor because he 's a minor . but if it had been one day later ... daniel : that 's good news . jennifer : it 's great news . and you think jj would have come back here so grateful . but he was n't . he was so defiant and so unrepentant about what he 'd done . and then we just had a horrible fight , and he took off . daniel : where 's he think he 's gon na go ? he does n't have a job . he has no money . i mean -- hey ... he will be back he will be back , and we 're gon na figure this all out together , okay ? come on . you do not have to do this alone , jennifer . i love you so much . i do n't want to see you in this kind of pain . so , please , would you please ... please let me help you ?

marlena : nicole ... you have impulse - control issues . nicole : and you have a superiority complex . marlena : oh , stop , stop , stop . listen to me . think about what happened today . you jumped into the fray with kristen having very little idea , very little explanation from me about what was going on . you were so eager to be part of the drama ... nicole : i was trying to help you . now you 're mad at me ? marlena : i 'm not angry at you . i 'm ... i 'm wary . nicole : that i 'm gon na ... screw up your plan or ... or your son 's life . marlena : or both . justin : this $ 30,000 sum you claim my client took from you , did it , in fact , belong to you ? nick : no . i was going to invest it for a friend of mine , as a favor . justin : oh . where did you meet this friend ? nick : in prison . melinda : objection . this is irrelevant , your honor . i 'll allow it . but get to the point quickly , mr. kiriakis . justin : yes , your honor . mr. fallon , why were you in prison ?

nick : she pulled a gun from her purse , and she threatened to -- to kill me . melinda : does this look like the gun in question ? nick : yes . melinda : this is the gun ms . brady admitted she used to shoot detective bernardi . so , on the night of may 8th , did you have reason to believe that she would follow through with that threat ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : i do know what you mean about people , families , being civil to each other . the cassadines had beautiful manners . helena at her most lethal was always polite , which is very confusing when you 're a little girl because you do n't understand why the words people are saying have no bearing to what they 're actually feeling . so you struggle with that , and then , you know , you -- you adapt to it because you have no choice , and then eventually you become proficient at it yourself . ric : yeah , and you talk around what you feel . you wrap it up in a protective covering of verbal sparring and intellectual posturing . alexis : you know me . ric : no . i was actually talk about myself , alexis . look , i learned very early on in my life that nobody was going to love me because i wanted them to . i had to be smart ; i had to be a winner . that became a goal unto itself . look , i had to be the brightest , i had to be the most successful , and that way i would n't need anybody , i would n't get hurt . now , judging from our conversations that we 've had before , i think that happened to you , as well . alexis : it 's a little more gothic than that , but , yeah . it 's kind of a coping mechanism run amuck . you put your effort in the places where you feel the most competent and you avoid the places where you feel out of control which is actually fine . you know , you can lead a very successful and fulfilling life that way . until your kid gets sick and the father is a gangster that you 've lied to for three years and he may be the only one that can help her . and then -- and then you 're sure that he 's going to sue you for custody and you know you wo n't be able to protect your daughter so you marry his brother . and then you realize that -- that your coping mechanisms have been an utter failure , and the control that you 've always taken so much pride in is an illusion because you 're just terrified . i 'm -- i 'm just terrified . i 'm terrified for her , of him taking her -- of you -- and i -- i 'm so tired of being alone . ric : you 're not alone . you 're not alone , alexis . you have me . we are in this together . alexis : i do n't want to be alone anymore . i 'll marry you . no conditions .

[ scene_break ] brook lynn : so -- um -- i wonder why sonny called mike down to the hospital . you think he got shot or something ? diego : sonny ? no way . he knows how to protect himself . sonny 's the kingpin , you know ? he hires other people to do his dirty work . i 'm going to be exactly that way someday . brook lynn : come on , diego , you ca n't -- you ca n't possibly still want a life like that . diego : why not ? i told you -- it 's money , respect , power . brook lynn : yeah , but it 's enemies and bodyguards 24/7 . diego , it 's breaking the law ! diego : yes , yes , yes , but i 'm sick and tired of people running my life . i 've gone from home to home whenever the social worker decides . i 'm going to get some money and some respect or die trying . brook lynn : ok , look , can you please stop talking about death like it 's not a big deal ? diego : ok , look , i -- i know that you 're afraid to risk your life , all right ? i understand -- brook lynn : no , not me , you . look , i do n't want you doing something that 's going to end up getting you killed . diego : are you saying you 'd miss me ? brook lynn : what ? uh -- oh , it 's just a -- just a dumb way to talk . diego : yeah , but you 'd miss me , right ? brook lynn : how would i know ? i mean , i -- i do n't even really know you , so -- diego : yeah , but we could work on that .

[ scene_break ] jason : courtney and mike have both been tested . sonny : all right . dr. webber say how long it 's going to take to get the results ? jason : less than a half an hour . sonny : well , you know , i got to believe my bone marrow is going to save my daughter 's life . if not mine , then , you know , courtney 's , mike 's . if that 's not a match , i 'm going to have to -- i 'm going to have to have morgan tested . jason : is he old enough ? sonny : well -- uh -- webber says he barely qualifies . you have to be a year old to donate marrow . jason : is he going to be at any kind of risk ? sonny : it 's supposed to be safe . painful . but he 's little , you know , he 's not going to be able to understand . just like kristina does n't -- ca n't question why she 's in the hospital , you know , without a father who can hold her , protect her , and all that . jason : i know that ned would be here , but alexis cut him out of kristina 's life . sonny : it was right in front of me . i refused to see it . ned was just a smokescreen to keep me out of alexis ' life . it 's over , it 's over . anyway , i 'm going to get my daughter through this , and then kristina and i will never be separated again .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i hope it 's ok with you , but i decided to marry ric . he 's a very good man . and there 's a great deal more to him than the face that he shows the rest of the world , because sometimes we make assumptions about people that may not be true . so why do n't we give him the benefit of the doubt ? he 's been there for me and i know that he cares about me , and the truth is ric may be just what i need . ric : the feeling 's mutual . alexis : how long have you been standing there ? ric : long enough . alexis : virtually the whole time i was talking . that could be construed as a -- as a violation of my privacy . ric : boy , being married to you is not going to be boring . alexis : likewise , i 'm sure . did you talk to the justice of the peace ? ric : yeah . he 's on his way to the hospital . he 's going to -- he 's going to meet us at the chapel . alexis : well , maybe we should get married before sonny finds out he 's kristina 's father . ric : well , i thought carly was going to tell him . alexis : apparently , she did n't do it . so i 'm going to have to tell him , and i hope that he understand that it would be in kristina 's best interest that he has no place in her life .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i do know what you mean about people , families , being civil to each other . the cassadines had beautiful manners . helena at her most lethal was always polite , which is very confusing when you 're a little girl because you do n't understand why the words people are saying have no bearing to what they 're actually feeling . so you struggle with that , and then , you know , you -- you adapt to it because you have no choice , and then eventually you become proficient at it yourself . ric : yeah , and you talk around what you feel . you wrap it up in a protective covering of verbal sparring and intellectual posturing . alexis : you know me . ric : no . i was actually talk about myself , alexis . look , i learned very early on in my life that nobody was going to love me because i wanted them to . i had to be smart ; i had to be a winner . that became a goal unto itself . look , i had to be the brightest , i had to be the most successful , and that way i would n't need anybody , i would n't get hurt . now , judging from our conversations that we 've had before , i think that happened to you , as well . alexis : it 's a little more gothic than that , but , yeah . it 's kind of a coping mechanism run amuck . you put your effort in the places where you feel the most competent and you avoid the places where you feel out of control which is actually fine . you know , you can lead a very successful and fulfilling life that way . until your kid gets sick and the father is a gangster that you 've lied to for three years and he may be the only one that can help her . and then -- and then you 're sure that he 's going to sue you for custody and you know you wo n't be able to protect your daughter so you marry his brother . and then you realize that -- that your coping mechanisms have been an utter failure , and the control that you 've always taken so much pride in is an illusion because you 're just terrified . i 'm -- i 'm just terrified . i 'm terrified for her , of him taking her -- of you -- and i -- i 'm so tired of being alone . ric : you 're not alone . you 're not alone , alexis . you have me . we are in this together . alexis : i do n't want to be alone anymore . i 'll marry you . no conditions .

[ scene_break ] brook lynn : so -- um -- i wonder why sonny called mike down to the hospital . you think he got shot or something ? diego : sonny ? no way . he knows how to protect himself . sonny 's the kingpin , you know ? he hires other people to do his dirty work . i 'm going to be exactly that way someday . brook lynn : come on , diego , you ca n't -- you ca n't possibly still want a life like that . diego : why not ? i told you -- it 's money , respect , power . brook lynn : yeah , but it 's enemies and bodyguards 24/7 . diego , it 's breaking the law ! diego : yes , yes , yes , but i 'm sick and tired of people running my life . i 've gone from home to home whenever the social worker decides . i 'm going to get some money and some respect or die trying . brook lynn : ok , look , can you please stop talking about death like it 's not a big deal ? diego : ok , look , i -- i know that you 're afraid to risk your life , all right ? i understand -- brook lynn : no , not me , you . look , i do n't want you doing something that 's going to end up getting you killed . diego : are you saying you 'd miss me ? brook lynn : what ? uh -- oh , it 's just a -- just a dumb way to talk . diego : yeah , but you 'd miss me , right ? brook lynn : how would i know ? i mean , i -- i do n't even really know you , so -- diego : yeah , but we could work on that .

[ scene_break ] jason : courtney and mike have both been tested . sonny : all right . dr. webber say how long it 's going to take to get the results ? jason : less than a half an hour . sonny : well , you know , i got to believe my bone marrow is going to save my daughter 's life . if not mine , then , you know , courtney 's , mike 's . if that 's not a match , i 'm going to have to -- i 'm going to have to have morgan tested . jason : is he old enough ? sonny : well -- uh -- webber says he barely qualifies . you have to be a year old to donate marrow . jason : is he going to be at any kind of risk ? sonny : it 's supposed to be safe . painful . but he 's little , you know , he 's not going to be able to understand . just like kristina does n't -- ca n't question why she 's in the hospital , you know , without a father who can hold her , protect her , and all that . jason : i know that ned would be here , but alexis cut him out of kristina 's life . sonny : it was right in front of me . i refused to see it . ned was just a smokescreen to keep me out of alexis ' life . it 's over , it 's over . anyway , i 'm going to get my daughter through this , and then kristina and i will never be separated again .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i hope it 's ok with you , but i decided to marry ric . he 's a very good man . and there 's a great deal more to him than the face that he shows the rest of the world , because sometimes we make assumptions about people that may not be true . so why do n't we give him the benefit of the doubt ? he 's been there for me and i know that he cares about me , and the truth is ric may be just what i need . ric : the feeling 's mutual . alexis : how long have you been standing there ? ric : long enough . alexis : virtually the whole time i was talking . that could be construed as a -- as a violation of my privacy . ric : boy , being married to you is not going to be boring . alexis : likewise , i 'm sure . did you talk to the justice of the peace ? ric : yeah . he 's on his way to the hospital . he 's going to -- he 's going to meet us at the chapel . alexis : well , maybe we should get married before sonny finds out he 's kristina 's father . ric : well , i thought carly was going to tell him . alexis : apparently , she did n't do it . so i 'm going to have to tell him , and i hope that he understand that it would be in kristina 's best interest that he has no place in her life .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i have to hand it to johnny . there 's a simple brilliance to what he 's doin ' . i mean , he has n't tried to kill sonny . he 's just defying him . so if someone tries to take him out , it looks punitive , like a massive overreaction , which it would be . you do n't kill someone for boosting a shipment . jason : johnny wants to make sonny look weak . weakness gets you killed . i do n't have to tell you that . luke taught you that before sonny ever taught me . lucky : i do n't wan na have to arrest you for johnny 's murder , okay ? and i really do n't want ethan to wind up dead . see , it 's more than just my badge that 's in your way right now . it 's all of the people that we have in common . so for their sake and for mine , just lay off of johnny and ethan . look , if everyone could just stay calm , this whole situation might take care of itself , 'cause once sonny goes to prison , johnny wo n't have to worry about getting justice for his sister , and no one will have to die . spinelli : i do not wish to see any harm to come to the mob prince , but he seems determined to bring about his own demise . jason : if johnny keeps pushin ' me , i have to push back . i do n't want to , but i do n't see a way out of it . spinelli : perhaps not , but i might have an idea . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you saying i ca n't make it as a single mother ? steve : ah , no . i 'm just asking you to be realistic . you love your boys , and they love you , and i 'm sure you already love your baby . but take a look at cam and jake 's lives and what they 're really like . i mean , they already spend a whole lot of time with gram , and she 's not gettin ' any younger . they spend a lot of time in day care , and i know you have to have a job , but a third child is only gon na make everything that much more complicated . elizabeth : so what are you suggesting ? steve : keep your options open . you do n't have to depend on lucky or nikolas for everything , but look at this realistically . you 're gon na have to have help from somebody at some point . why not your child 's father ?

[ scene_break ] michael : it is n't right for dad to give up his whole life for me , and i should n't expect you to lie for me either . carly : okay , my testimony is going to be mostly true . all i have to say is that your father came in and saved me and josslyn instead of you . i mean , the story stays the same , except you were never in the cabin . that 's it . michael : you think they 'll believe you ? carly : i 'm a world - class liar , and i 've never been more motivated . michael : it is n't right . carly : michael , you saved me and your baby sister . once that trial is over , no matter what the outcome , you 're gon na have the rest of your life ahead of you , and that means your father and i win .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i have to hand it to johnny . there 's a simple brilliance to what he 's doin ' . i mean , he has n't tried to kill sonny . he 's just defying him . so if someone tries to take him out , it looks punitive , like a massive overreaction , which it would be . you do n't kill someone for boosting a shipment . jason : johnny wants to make sonny look weak . weakness gets you killed . i do n't have to tell you that . luke taught you that before sonny ever taught me . lucky : i do n't wan na have to arrest you for johnny 's murder , okay ? and i really do n't want ethan to wind up dead . see , it 's more than just my badge that 's in your way right now . it 's all of the people that we have in common . so for their sake and for mine , just lay off of johnny and ethan . look , if everyone could just stay calm , this whole situation might take care of itself , 'cause once sonny goes to prison , johnny wo n't have to worry about getting justice for his sister , and no one will have to die . spinelli : i do not wish to see any harm to come to the mob prince , but he seems determined to bring about his own demise . jason : if johnny keeps pushin ' me , i have to push back . i do n't want to , but i do n't see a way out of it . spinelli : perhaps not , but i might have an idea . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you saying i ca n't make it as a single mother ? steve : ah , no . i 'm just asking you to be realistic . you love your boys , and they love you , and i 'm sure you already love your baby . but take a look at cam and jake 's lives and what they 're really like . i mean , they already spend a whole lot of time with gram , and she 's not gettin ' any younger . they spend a lot of time in day care , and i know you have to have a job , but a third child is only gon na make everything that much more complicated . elizabeth : so what are you suggesting ? steve : keep your options open . you do n't have to depend on lucky or nikolas for everything , but look at this realistically . you 're gon na have to have help from somebody at some point . why not your child 's father ?

victor : i wish i knew . kevin : adam had the chance to walk . i 'll never understand why he did n't take it . chloe : i understand completely . i think adam did n't fight for his freedom because he does n't believe that he deserves it , not after what he 's done . to the guard , i mean . kevin : yeah , but if he did n't even know what i was doing ? i do n't know . i still do n't understand . nick : you happy ? nikki : nicholas . victor : that 's the last thing i wanted . nick : there 's an innocent man going back to prison . there 's gon na be a little boy without his daddy and a woman with a broken heart and a guard fighting for his life , and that 's all because of you . victor : i 'm sick and tired of your righteous attitude . nick : you put all this in motion . i hope you 're proud of yourself . victor : get out of my eyesight ! nikki : i 'll talk to him . nicholas . nick : mom , i do n't want to talk about it . nikki : i do n't care . we 're gon na talk about it . what happened to adam is not your father 's fault . nick : look , i get it . he 's your husband . you just got back together . you need to defend him . nikki : oh , god . you think that i 'm turning a blind eye ? nick : believe him all you want . i wo n't do it , not after what he 's done . nikki : and what is it you think he 's done ? nick : you were there . you saw how hell - bent he was on making all of us pay , all of us who testified against him . he tricked you into screwing over victoria . nikki : that was a very unfortunate incident . nick : unfortunate ? mom , he used you to get control of the board , and then he sold brash & sassy out from under his daughter . nikki : all right , it is one thing to sell a division of a company . it 's a whole different thing to set up your son to go to prison , and your father would not do that ! nick : he needed to show adam who 's boss . maybe it did n't turn out the way he wanted it , but this is all on him . nikki : you 're wrong ! stitch : we 're doing everything we can to help matthews , believe me . abby : if he does n't make it ... dylan : then it turns into a murder charge and there 's no chance of adam getting out . stitch : all right . i 'll keep you updated , let you know if there 's any changes either way . dylan : thanks . abby : at least we know he 's in good hands . dylan : yeah , he is . the best . stitch : i should get back in there . abby : yeah , go . do your thing . dylan : how you holding up ? abby : okay . i guess . i - i do n't know . i mean , i 've been all over the map with adam . i mean , i - i did n't want to believe that he killed constance bingham , but the evidence , it was so much , and knowing how badly he wanted to protect his identity ... i feel terrible now , knowing that he 's innocent . thank god you found those diary pages . dylan : it does n't matter . it was n't in time . and if i would have found the pages earlier ... adam would be home right now with his wife and kid . adam : tell me when my visitor has arrived ! michael : it 's not over . chelsea : `` last chance . `` that 's what the judge said . `` last chance . `` michael : no such things as last chances . that 's why appeals were invented . look , adam is still in rough shape physically and emotionally . we need to talk to him . we need to reason with him . we need to convince him to change his plea . chelsea : when he said guilty , everything just went dark . i 've never seen him give up like that . ever . michael : it was a surprise . it 's a bit of a challenge , but it 's nothing we ca n't overcome . chelsea : do you really believe that ? michael : first up , i talk to the judge , ask to get the sentencing delayed . the more time we get to work on adam , the better . victor : so this was your grand plan , huh , michael baldwin ? my son spending his time in a prison cell instead of playing with his family . i should never have allowed you to represent him . chelsea : is this a joke ? victor : no , it 's not a joke . chelsea : you 're blaming him ? ! we 're here because of you ! michael : it 's all right , chelsea . chelsea : no , it 's not all right . you 're the one that needed to play god ! you 're the reason we 're here . michael : we should be focusing on helping adam . victor : yes . starting with hiring another lawyer . chelsea : please do n't pretend like you care . victor : what do you mean , i do n't care ? he 's my son . chelsea : he is your son . you 're right . ironically , the son that 's most like you , the son that has spent his entire adult life trying to win you over and get your approval and impress you ! it was never enough . and so finally he turned on you . and what do you do ? you give him the ultimate lesson . you really show him who 's boss . well , congratulations , victor . congratulations , because i do n't even recognize my own husband anymore ! he 's completely defeated ! victor : who the hell are you to give me a lecture ? you remember when you almost lost him before and you and i worked together to work things out ? in fact , i sent you to paris to get back your son connor because chloe had kidnapped him . you remember that ? will everyone stop blaming me for what 's happening ? ! this hurts me more than ... do you know how much this hurts me ? i will do everything in my power to help my son . do n't you doubt that for a minute . dylan : adam was forced to take a plea bargain for a crime he did n't even commit . let 's think about that for a second . ripped away from your family for decades , haunted by the thought of your son growing up without you ? there 's nothing that adam could do . of course he lost it . it had to be torture in there . abby : i agree . dylan : the guard is in a coma because of what was done to adam . abby : you 're talking about my father . it 's okay . everyone knows you 're investigating for adam , trying to prove that my dad set him up . dylan : just trying to find the truth , abby . that 's all . look , i - i got to get going . um ... abby : dylan -- dylan : i know that -- that stitch said he would , but just make sure he keeps me in the loop , okay ? abby : sure . [ sighs ] stitch : you 're still here . abby : yeah , i was talking to dylan . stitch : and it did n't go well ? abby : he 's just so upset about what 's going on with adam . and , i mean , i get it . i 'm upset , too , but ... he thinks that my dad set adam up . stitch : mac said that ? abby : not in so many words , but i think it was out of respect for me . he definitely implied it . what do you think ? stitch : i think mac has some of the best instincts of anyone i know , instincts that saved my life . abby : instincts that make him a great cop . stitch : look , i 'm not saying he 's never been wrong , but if his gut 's telling him something , i would listen . abby : so you think that my dad framed adam ? stitch : look , i know it 's not what you want to hear . abby : what i want to hear is honesty . thank you . um , yeah , okay , i 'm gon na go , but i will see you at home . stitch : yeah . victor : leslie , i ask you again . anything you can do , all right ? well , my son needs all the help he can get . all right ? thank you . i appreciate it . nikki : you 're really worried . victor : [ exhales deeply ] yeah . my son just pled guilty to battery . i 'm very worried . nikki : i wish nicholas knew that . i wish he could have heard what you just said to chelsea in there . i mean , you might be guilty of some things , but nobody could ever say that you 're guilty of not loving your children . victor : i think it was a difficult day for everyone . nikki : still , you did n't need that lashing out from nicholas . if he could just open his eyes , he would see that you would never , ever treat adam that way , put him away like that . you could n't do it . victor : you know , i got to be very honest with you . i - i - i 'm beginning not to care what nicholas thinks . he has talked nothing but bad things about his father for a long time now . nick : well , i do n't -- victor : i 'm sick and tired of it . but i promise you that i will do everything in my power to reverse the damage that was done in that courtroom by that incompetent lawyer . nikki : i know you will . nick : [ sighs ] i do n't even know what to say about what happened in that courtroom today . adam : quite a show , huh ? nick : i 'm sorry , adam . i never should have doubted you . i never should have doubted that our father would take things this far . he is victor newman , right ? i mean , framing you for murder and using my dead wife to do it , it 's just child 's play for him . adam : i 'm not looking for your pity . nick : it 's not pity . you do n't deserve this . adam : do n't deserve this ? i , uh [ clears throat ] ... i attacked a guard . i choked him until he blacked out . he 's in a coma . nick : and i feel terrible for him , and i pray he makes it . but he is not the only victim here . you have a case . michael can fight this . you just have to expose dad . adam : it 's too late . nick : it 's not too late . adam : listen , no one 's gon na believe that victor framed me , okay ? nick : you do n't know that . adam : even if they do believe it , even if michael can prove it , i 'm guilty . that man is in the hospital . that 's because of me . he could die . nick : that was dad 's fault , all right ? he pushed you to the brink . you did n't know what was real and what was n't . you did n't know what you were doing . adam : here 's what 's gon na happen , nick . i 'm gon na be held accountable , okay ? and i should be held accountable . nick : what can i do to help ? adam : are you asking me ? you want to know ? nick : name it . adam : be a father to my son . victor : come in ! abby : hi . victor : abby ! nikki : hi , abby . abby : dad , i 'm sorry i did n't make it to the courthouse , but i saw what happened . how 's adam ? victor : [ sighs deeply ] nikki : nobody really knows how adam is right now . abby : i feel so terrible for him . victor : yeah , so do we all . abby : and that poor guard . stitch is treating him now . nikki : is there any change in his condition ? abby : unfortunately , he 's getting worse . nikki : oh , my god . abby : and the timing of it all . nikki : just absolutely unreal . abby : just when adam was on the verge of being cleared , this happens to drag him down . victor : well , you know , given the circumstances , he still has a chance to clear his name . abby : so why does n't he fight ? victor : he has given up . nikki : i have never seen him so defeated . victor : the sentencing is tomorrow . unless , of course , he comes to his senses before . abby : do you think that 's a possibility ? victor : mnh - mnh . not given his present state of mind . no . nikki : chelsea begged him to change his mind . he would n't . abby : that sounds awful . what can we do ? there must be something . victor : i 'm doing everything i can to stop this downward spiral , make sure that he gets his life back . abby : okay , well , um , i 'm gon na go back to the hospital . i 'll monitor things there . let me know if there 's anything i can do . victor : okay , sweetheart . nikki : i 'll walk you out . abby : bye , dad . victor : and , abby ? thank you for coming by , okay ? it 's in times like these that we need to stick together as a family . nikki : it was so good of you to come . today was so difficult for victor . i know it was good for him to see your face . abby : nikki , do you believe him when he says that he did n't frame adam ? chelsea : this whole thing is like a nightmare , a nightmare i ca n't wake up from . it does n't make sense . adam had an out . he had a good out . i mean , he was n't even lying . he did not intentionally hurt that man . that 's -- that 's the truth . [ sighs ] chloe : deep breaths . chelsea : how can i breathe right now , chloe ? [ sighs ] are there any updates on the guard ? any changes ? chloe : no , just the same that ... he 's in a coma and he 's in critical condition . chelsea : i 'm telling you , whoever set adam up , whether it was victor or not , whoever set him up , they are just as responsible for what happened to that guard as adam is . why is he doing this ? why is he putting it all on himself ? you know , it 's almost like -- chloe : it 's like he wants to be punished . chelsea : you mean for delia ? nick : connor has a dad . adam : you know what i mean . nick : no , i do n't know what you mean . look , you can still be a father to that boy while you 're fighting to get out of here , and you will fight , adam , because you have too much to fight for . adam : how am i supposed to give him what he needs ? nick : it 's not gon na be easy . but you 'll find a way to make it work . adam : from in here ? nick : from anywhere . kids need love . they need advice and guidance . they need you to pick them up when they 're down and straighten them out when they 're wrong . you can do all that from in here . adam : not the way i want to . nick : switch it up . change the plan . make it work . adam : i do n't want to make it work . he 's my son . he deserves better than this . weekly visits with his dad in a prison ? some guard hovering over our head listening to everything we say to each other ? that 's not parenting , nick . my son deserves someone in his life . stability is important , right ? he 's gon na have questions . he 's gon na need someone to answer those questions . he needs a man to solve the problems that he 's gon na have that come up . he needs you . nick : you think you need to be around your son 24/7 to be a good dad to him ? there are lots of dads who see their kids every day and they 're terrible at it . it 's quality , not quantity . adam : no , i could n't agree with you more . let 's talk about quality for a second . look at me . look where i 'm -- i 'm wearing a shirt that says `` inmate `` on it ! nick : you can do this , adam . he 's in good hands with you and chelsea . adam : no ! my son needs a man in his life while i 'm in here . he needs you . nick : [ voice breaking ] why me ? why not jack , you know ? jack is his godfather . you picked him to be the legal guardian if anything ever came up . adam : jack is amazing . i love him . but he 's not a newman . i need a newman . someone who can handle victor . and that , brother , is you . you 've managed to remain a part of this family , this crazy - ass family , and you still managed to maintain your independence . it 's admirable . i 've always admired that about you . i 've never said it out loud , but i 've always admired it . and if you want me to beg , i 'll beg you . i need you to pass that down to my son . teach him how to be a newman . your way . do n't let him make the same mistakes i made and get sucked into the family . i want him to be better than me , you know ? it 's the same thing we both would have wanted for christian . nick : why did you bring up christian ? adam : i 'm just talking to you father to father now . that 's common ground we share , right ? love that we have for our kids . that 's why it hit me so hard when christian died . you know , i could see how much you were suffering . [ sighs ] i could see how much you would have just given anything to have your little boy back if not for a minute . that 's the same concern that i have for connor ... and the way he 's raised and the life that he 's gon na have . nick : you want the best for him . adam : yeah . nick : you can still give him that , adam . you do n't have to cut yourself out . adam : the thing about that , nick , is that i do , actually . i know what good parenting looks like . my mom . hope , she -- she was ... my mom 's amazing . [ chuckles ] i mean , she was , um , you know , stern when she needed to be . but she was , uh ... gentle and encouraging and kind and loving and warm . you remind me of her , you know . nick : of hope ? adam : when i see you with your kids . i 've seen you be stern with them , but ... you 're steady , man . you 're like a rock . that 's important . you 're encouraging . and -- and -- and , i mean , all that paid off , right ? look at your kids . look at noah , summer . they 're good eggs , right ? nick : yeah , most of the time . adam : most of the time is all you can hope for . nick : yeah . adam : and faith ? i mean , she 's -- what can you say ? i figure eventually all of us will end up working for her one day , right ? nick : [ laughs ] yeah , you 're probably right . adam : i 'm asking you , man . i 'm begging you . show my son that kind of love , that kind of encouragement . make him feel safe , you know ? just , um ... let him know he can talk to you , he can trust you . and do n't forget the little things . i always figured that i would , uh ... teach him how to throw a baseball , you know ? i think that 's important for a young man , to know how to -- to throw a baseball . [ voice breaking ] and there 's also one more thing , just while i 'm thinking of it . you know those job interviews , they 're so tricky . i was just hoping , you know , to be able to prep him for it , but you -- you can do that . you 're good at that kind of stuff . nick : that 's a long , long way away . he 's not gon na need me for that . adam : if he does need you for that , if i 'm not there , i need you to tell him that you 're gon na be there for him , okay ? nick , please . just ... show up for him , all right ? especially the teenage years . you know , those -- those teenage years , right , they 're tricky for a young man . he 's gon na need to learn how to talk to girls . i mean , that 's ... nick : well , you know , considering my track record , i should probably keep my mouth shut on that . adam : [ chuckles ] maybe , right ? [ sniffles ] it 's a long , winding road , huh ? i 'll give you that . [ sniffles ] led you to sage , though , did n't it ? nick : and you to chelsea . adam : we 're lucky . nick ... will you do that for me ? will you be there for my son ? nick : it 'd be an honor , brother . i 'll look after connor as if he was my own . adam : thank you . chelsea : [ sighs ] [ connor babbling ] chelsea : i feel like he knows something 's not right . he was so upset upstairs . chloe : it 's because he 's 3 . you 're doing a great job at keeping everything normal . chelsea : because of you . if you were n't here , i ... chloe : i am , though . chelsea : you were right earlier . i think adam ... he did n't plead guilty because of the guard . i mean , he did , but i - i think it was also about delia . that night will haunt him forever . i mean , he avoided taking responsibility for so long , and ... chloe : he did , though . he had his day in court . chelsea : i guess maybe he feels like it was n't enough . maybe he feels like ... he needs to be punished some more . chloe : i 'm really sorry . i - i really thought that when i went to go see adam and i told him that i 'd forgiven him that he would finally be able to forgive himself . chelsea : this ca n't be how it ends . i have to do something . i do n't know what . but i have to stop this . nobody tears my family apart and gets away with it . dylan : hey , kevin . kevin : yo . dylan : finding bethany bryant just became our top priority . kevin : the woman who helped set adam up ? the waitress ? dylan : the waitress . nobody disappears without a trace . and we 're dealing with an amateur who 's never had that much cash before , and she 's gon na screw up a dozen different ways . all we got to do is find one . kevin : and then what ? dylan : `` and then wh -- `` we arrest her . kevin : which accomplishes exactly nothing since adam just pled guilty to a different crime . dylan : yeah , well , we ca n't just let the first crime go . adam was framed . we got to catch the person who started all this . look , adam attacked the guard in prison thinking that -- kevin : that it was victor . dylan : right , and all roads lead back to victor . so if we nail him , we have a chance . it might be the only chance to get adam through this . nikki : of course i believe my husband . ca n't you see how much he 's suffering ? he hates what is happening to adam . he would do anything he possibly could to get him out , so no , he did n't put him there . what we need to do now is stay together as only we can . it 's what the newmans do best . abby : right . yeah , um ... okay , well , i will talk to you soon . nikki : all right , my darling . abby : bye . nikki : bye . victor : that was nice of you to see abby out . nikki : yeah , she had some questions . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : actually , just one question . she wanted to know if i thought you had framed adam . victor : what 'd you say ? nikki : i defended you . victor : mm - hmm . nikki : just as i did with nicholas . victor : mm - hmm . nikki : i said that you would never do something like that . victor : you 're right . you 're right . nikki : i also said it would never , ever enter your mind to frame any of your children to go to jail . but now ... right now , it 's just us . victor : [ sighs ] nikki : so tell me . did you do it ? victor : we all make mistakes , do n't we ? nikki : so you did . you framed your own son for murder . chelsea : nick , hi . nick : hey . is it okay if i come in ? chelsea : yeah , of course . nick : hey , chloe . chloe : hey , nick . nick : i , uh , just came from the prison . chelsea : you went to see adam ? nick : yeah . i wanted to apologize to him , you know , for ever doubting him , for ever thinking that he could ever kill constance . chelsea : thank you . chloe : how 'd he seem ? chelsea : it 's okay , nick . you can tell me . i 'm not gon na break . nick : resigned . like he was in court , like he , uh , just accepts his punishment , feels like he deserves it . chelsea : but he does n't deserve it . nick : i tried telling him that . chelsea : but he would n't listen to you , either , would he ? [ voice breaking ] i do n't understand . how can he do this to us ?

[ sighs ] kevin : you are putting me in the unfamiliar position of being the voice of reason . dylan : okay , let 's hear it . kevin : i get everything you 're saying about adam and getting him justice . agreed . but you 're leaving out one very important and inescapable element . you 'd be going after your own stepfather . and if you 're right and you can bring down victor , it will destroy your mom . victor : i 'm amazed we 're even discussing this . nikki : it 's all right . i did n't expect you to admit anything . i 'm not asking you to . i know who and what you are , victor . and i know that no matter what , you have always had your son 's best interests at heart . you still do . granted , there were some unexpected circumstances . but i 'm sure you will take care of that . victor : come here . i 'll fix this . no matter what , i 'll fix this . one way or the other . michael : thank you . okay . i just filed a motion to put off your sentencing . only for a few days , but enough time to get some food in you , get you some rest , improve your state of mind . adam : i do n't need more time . michael : now , adam , this is gon na be -- adam : michael , i 'm firing you . connor : some more . it spilled ! adam : i need you to pass that down to my son . teach him how to be a newman . your way . do n't let him make the same mistakes i made and get sucked into the family . i want him to be better than me , you know ? it 's the same thing we both would have wanted for christian . show my son that kind of love , that kind of encouragement . make him feel safe , you know ? let him know he can talk to you , he can trust you . nick : hey , bud . it 's your uncle nick . i just want you to know i 'm always gon na be here for you , okay ? everything 's gon na be okay . i promise you .

[ bangs gavel ] court is adjourned . abby : i ca n't believe this is happening . adam should n't have been in prison in the first place . dylan : no , he should n't have been . and he was about to get out because we finally got our hands on proof that he was framed , and that would have overturned his conviction . and now this . abby : he could be facing 10 years . it 's not right . stitch : it could be . not definitely . not if michael baldwin has anything to say about it . abby : [ sighs ] stitch : apparently adam , he had n't been eating before the attack . he was hallucinating all kinds of stuff . and now that everyone knows that he was telling the truth about his original trial , it 'll go a long way in his defense . michael can argue he was n't in his right mind . dylan : well , he was n't . i mean , none of us would have been . [ cell phone chimes ] abby : oh , my god . dylan : what ? stitch : what ? abby : adam pled guilty . dylan : are you serious ? stitch : [ sighs ] abby : can you imagine what chelsea is going through right now ? dylan : just when they thought this nightmare was over . michael : look , i know this has been traumatic , but you have to clear the cobwebs , adam . you 'll have to think . look at her . look at what you stand to lose . your wife , your son , all for something that you were n't in control of . now , look , i will fight for you . you know that . but i ca n't do it alone . you have to fight for yourself , because the good thing is , we 're not out of options . appeals can be made . pleas can be changed . all you have to do -- all you have to do is cooperate . nikki : why is adam doing this ? victor : i wish i knew . kevin : adam had the chance to walk . i 'll never understand why he did n't take it . chloe : i understand completely . i think adam did n't fight for his freedom because he does n't believe that he deserves it , not after what he 's done . to the guard , i mean . kevin : yeah , but if he did n't even know what i was doing ? i do n't know . i still do n't understand . nick : you happy ? nikki : nicholas . victor : that 's the last thing i wanted . nick : there 's an innocent man going back to prison . there 's gon na be a little boy without his daddy and a woman with a broken heart and a guard fighting for his life , and that 's all because of you . victor : i 'm sick and tired of your righteous attitude . nick : you put all this in motion . i hope you 're proud of yourself . victor : get out of my eyesight ! nikki : i 'll talk to him . nicholas . nick : mom , i do n't want to talk about it . nikki : i do n't care . we 're gon na talk about it . what happened to adam is not your father 's fault . nick : look , i get it . he 's your husband . you just got back together . you need to defend him . nikki : oh , god . you think that i 'm turning a blind eye ? nick : believe him all you want . i wo n't do it , not after what he 's done . nikki : and what is it you think he 's done ? nick : you were there . you saw how hell - bent he was on making all of us pay , all of us who testified against him . he tricked you into screwing over victoria . nikki : that was a very unfortunate incident . nick : unfortunate ? mom , he used you to get control of the board , and then he sold brash & sassy out from under his daughter . nikki : all right , it is one thing to sell a division of a company . it 's a whole different thing to set up your son to go to prison , and your father would not do that ! nick : he needed to show adam who 's boss . maybe it did n't turn out the way he wanted it , but this is all on him . nikki : you 're wrong ! stitch : we 're doing everything we can to help matthews , believe me . abby : if he does n't make it ... dylan : then it turns into a murder charge and there 's no chance of adam getting out . stitch : all right . i 'll keep you updated , let you know if there 's any changes either way . dylan : thanks . abby : at least we know he 's in good hands . dylan : yeah , he is . the best . stitch : i should get back in there . abby : yeah , go . do your thing . dylan : how you holding up ? abby : okay . i guess . i - i do n't know . i mean , i 've been all over the map with adam . i mean , i - i did n't want to believe that he killed constance bingham , but the evidence , it was so much , and knowing how badly he wanted to protect his identity ... i feel terrible now , knowing that he 's innocent . thank god you found those diary pages . dylan : it does n't matter . it was n't in time . and if i would have found the pages earlier ... adam would be home right now with his wife and kid . adam : tell me when my visitor has arrived ! michael : it 's not over . chelsea : `` last chance . `` that 's what the judge said . `` last chance . `` michael : no such things as last chances . that 's why appeals were invented . look , adam is still in rough shape physically and emotionally . we need to talk to him . we need to reason with him . we need to convince him to change his plea . chelsea : when he said guilty , everything just went dark . i 've never seen him give up like that . ever . michael : it was a surprise . it 's a bit of a challenge , but it 's nothing we ca n't overcome . chelsea : do you really believe that ? michael : first up , i talk to the judge , ask to get the sentencing delayed . the more time we get to work on adam , the better . victor : so this was your grand plan , huh , michael baldwin ? my son spending his time in a prison cell instead of playing with his family . i should never have allowed you to represent him . chelsea : is this a joke ? victor : no , it 's not a joke . chelsea : you 're blaming him ? ! we 're here because of you ! michael : it 's all right , chelsea . chelsea : no , it 's not all right . you 're the one that needed to play god ! you 're the reason we 're here . michael : we should be focusing on helping adam . victor : yes . starting with hiring another lawyer . chelsea : please do n't pretend like you care . victor : what do you mean , i do n't care ? he 's my son . chelsea : he is your son . you 're right . ironically , the son that 's most like you , the son that has spent his entire adult life trying to win you over and get your approval and impress you ! it was never enough . and so finally he turned on you . and what do you do ? you give him the ultimate lesson . you really show him who 's boss . well , congratulations , victor . congratulations , because i do n't even recognize my own husband anymore ! he 's completely defeated ! victor : who the hell are you to give me a lecture ? you remember when you almost lost him before and you and i worked together to work things out ? in fact , i sent you to paris to get back your son connor because chloe had kidnapped him . you remember that ? will everyone stop blaming me for what 's happening ? ! this hurts me more than ... do you know how much this hurts me ? i will do everything in my power to help my son . do n't you doubt that for a minute . dylan : adam was forced to take a plea bargain for a crime he did n't even commit . let 's think about that for a second . ripped away from your family for decades , haunted by the thought of your son growing up without you ? there 's nothing that adam could do . of course he lost it . it had to be torture in there . abby : i agree . dylan : the guard is in a coma because of what was done to adam . abby : you 're talking about my father . it 's okay . everyone knows you 're investigating for adam , trying to prove that my dad set him up . dylan : just trying to find the truth , abby . that 's all . look , i - i got to get going . um ... abby : dylan -- dylan : i know that -- that stitch said he would , but just make sure he keeps me in the loop , okay ? abby : sure . [ sighs ] stitch : you 're still here . abby : yeah , i was talking to dylan . stitch : and it did n't go well ? abby : he 's just so upset about what 's going on with adam . and , i mean , i get it . i 'm upset , too , but ... he thinks that my dad set adam up . stitch : mac said that ? abby : not in so many words , but i think it was out of respect for me . he definitely implied it . what do you think ? stitch : i think mac has some of the best instincts of anyone i know , instincts that saved my life . abby : instincts that make him a great cop . stitch : look , i 'm not saying he 's never been wrong , but if his gut 's telling him something , i would listen . abby : so you think that my dad framed adam ? stitch : look , i know it 's not what you want to hear . abby : what i want to hear is honesty . thank you . um , yeah , okay , i 'm gon na go , but i will see you at home . stitch : yeah . victor : leslie , i ask you again . anything you can do , all right ? well , my son needs all the help he can get . all right ? thank you . i appreciate it . nikki : you 're really worried . victor : [ exhales deeply ] yeah . my son just pled guilty to battery . i 'm very worried . nikki : i wish nicholas knew that . i wish he could have heard what you just said to chelsea in there . i mean , you might be guilty of some things , but nobody could ever say that you 're guilty of not loving your children . victor : i think it was a difficult day for everyone . nikki : still , you did n't need that lashing out from nicholas . if he could just open his eyes , he would see that you would never , ever treat adam that way , put him away like that . you could n't do it . victor : you know , i got to be very honest with you . i - i - i 'm beginning not to care what nicholas thinks . he has talked nothing but bad things about his father for a long time now . nick : well , i do n't -- victor : i 'm sick and tired of it . but i promise you that i will do everything in my power to reverse the damage that was done in that courtroom by that incompetent lawyer . nikki : i know you will . nick : [ sighs ] i do n't even know what to say about what happened in that courtroom today . adam : quite a show , huh ? nick : i 'm sorry , adam . i never should have doubted you . i never should have doubted that our father would take things this far . he is victor newman , right ? i mean , framing you for murder and using my dead wife to do it , it 's just child 's play for him . adam : i 'm not looking for your pity . nick : it 's not pity . you do n't deserve this . adam : do n't deserve this ? i , uh [ clears throat ] ... i attacked a guard . i choked him until he blacked out . he 's in a coma . nick : and i feel terrible for him , and i pray he makes it . but he is not the only victim here . you have a case . michael can fight this . you just have to expose dad . adam : it 's too late . nick : it 's not too late . adam : listen , no one 's gon na believe that victor framed me , okay ? nick : you do n't know that . adam : even if they do believe it , even if michael can prove it , i 'm guilty . that man is in the hospital . that 's because of me . he could die . nick : that was dad 's fault , all right ? he pushed you to the brink . you did n't know what was real and what was n't . you did n't know what you were doing . adam : here 's what 's gon na happen , nick . i 'm gon na be held accountable , okay ? and i should be held accountable . nick : what can i do to help ? adam : are you asking me ? you want to know ? nick : name it . adam : be a father to my son . victor : come in ! abby : hi . victor : abby ! nikki : hi , abby . abby : dad , i 'm sorry i did n't make it to the courthouse , but i saw what happened . how 's adam ? victor : [ sighs deeply ] nikki : nobody really knows how adam is right now . abby : i feel so terrible for him . victor : yeah , so do we all . abby : and that poor guard . stitch is treating him now . nikki : is there any change in his condition ? abby : unfortunately , he 's getting worse . nikki : oh , my god . abby : and the timing of it all . nikki : just absolutely unreal . abby : just when adam was on the verge of being cleared , this happens to drag him down . victor : well , you know , given the circumstances , he still has a chance to clear his name . abby : so why does n't he fight ? victor : he has given up . nikki : i have never seen him so defeated . victor : the sentencing is tomorrow . unless , of course , he comes to his senses before . abby : do you think that 's a possibility ? victor : mnh - mnh . not given his present state of mind . no . nikki : chelsea begged him to change his mind . he would n't . abby : that sounds awful . what can we do ? there must be something . victor : i 'm doing everything i can to stop this downward spiral , make sure that he gets his life back . abby : okay , well , um , i 'm gon na go back to the hospital . i 'll monitor things there . let me know if there 's anything i can do . victor : okay , sweetheart . nikki : i 'll walk you out . abby : bye , dad . victor : and , abby ? thank you for coming by , okay ? it 's in times like these that we need to stick together as a family . nikki : it was so good of you to come . today was so difficult for victor . i know it was good for him to see your face . abby : nikki , do you believe him when he says that he did n't frame adam ? chelsea : this whole thing is like a nightmare , a nightmare i ca n't wake up from . it does n't make sense . adam had an out . he had a good out . i mean , he was n't even lying . he did not intentionally hurt that man . that 's -- that 's the truth . [ sighs ] chloe : deep breaths . chelsea : how can i breathe right now , chloe ? [ sighs ] are there any updates on the guard ? any changes ? chloe : no , just the same that ... he 's in a coma and he 's in critical condition . chelsea : i 'm telling you , whoever set adam up , whether it was victor or not , whoever set him up , they are just as responsible for what happened to that guard as adam is . why is he doing this ? why is he putting it all on himself ? you know , it 's almost like -- chloe : it 's like he wants to be punished . chelsea : you mean for delia ? nick : connor has a dad . adam : you know what i mean . nick : no , i do n't know what you mean . look , you can still be a father to that boy while you 're fighting to get out of here , and you will fight , adam , because you have too much to fight for . adam : how am i supposed to give him what he needs ? nick : it 's not gon na be easy . but you 'll find a way to make it work . adam : from in here ? nick : from anywhere . kids need love . they need advice and guidance . they need you to pick them up when they 're down and straighten them out when they 're wrong . you can do all that from in here . adam : not the way i want to . nick : switch it up . change the plan . make it work . adam : i do n't want to make it work . he 's my son . he deserves better than this . weekly visits with his dad in a prison ? some guard hovering over our head listening to everything we say to each other ? that 's not parenting , nick . my son deserves someone in his life . stability is important , right ? he 's gon na have questions . he 's gon na need someone to answer those questions . he needs a man to solve the problems that he 's gon na have that come up . he needs you . nick : you think you need to be around your son 24/7 to be a good dad to him ? there are lots of dads who see their kids every day and they 're terrible at it . it 's quality , not quantity . adam : no , i could n't agree with you more . let 's talk about quality for a second . look at me . look where i 'm -- i 'm wearing a shirt that says `` inmate `` on it ! nick : you can do this , adam . he 's in good hands with you and chelsea . adam : no ! my son needs a man in his life while i 'm in here . he needs you . nick : [ voice breaking ] why me ? why not jack , you know ? jack is his godfather . you picked him to be the legal guardian if anything ever came up . adam : jack is amazing . i love him . but he 's not a newman . i need a newman . someone who can handle victor . and that , brother , is you . you 've managed to remain a part of this family , this crazy - ass family , and you still managed to maintain your independence . it 's admirable . i 've always admired that about you . i 've never said it out loud , but i 've always admired it . and if you want me to beg , i 'll beg you . i need you to pass that down to my son . teach him how to be a newman . your way . do n't let him make the same mistakes i made and get sucked into the family . i want him to be better than me , you know ? it 's the same thing we both would have wanted for christian . nick : why did you bring up christian ? adam : i 'm just talking to you father to father now . that 's common ground we share , right ? love that we have for our kids . that 's why it hit me so hard when christian died . you know , i could see how much you were suffering . [ sighs ] i could see how much you would have just given anything to have your little boy back if not for a minute . that 's the same concern that i have for connor ... and the way he 's raised and the life that he 's gon na have . nick : you want the best for him . adam : yeah . nick : you can still give him that , adam . you do n't have to cut yourself out . adam : the thing about that , nick , is that i do , actually . i know what good parenting looks like . my mom . hope , she -- she was ... my mom 's amazing . [ chuckles ] i mean , she was , um , you know , stern when she needed to be . but she was , uh ... gentle and encouraging and kind and loving and warm . you remind me of her , you know . nick : of hope ? adam : when i see you with your kids . i 've seen you be stern with them , but ... you 're steady , man . you 're like a rock . that 's important . you 're encouraging . and -- and -- and , i mean , all that paid off , right ? look at your kids . look at noah , summer . they 're good eggs , right ? nick : yeah , most of the time . adam : most of the time is all you can hope for . nick : yeah . adam : and faith ? i mean , she 's -- what can you say ? i figure eventually all of us will end up working for her one day , right ? nick : [ laughs ] yeah , you 're probably right . adam : i 'm asking you , man . i 'm begging you . show my son that kind of love , that kind of encouragement . make him feel safe , you know ? just , um ... let him know he can talk to you , he can trust you . and do n't forget the little things . i always figured that i would , uh ... teach him how to throw a baseball , you know ? i think that 's important for a young man , to know how to -- to throw a baseball . [ voice breaking ] and there 's also one more thing , just while i 'm thinking of it . you know those job interviews , they 're so tricky . i was just hoping , you know , to be able to prep him for it , but you -- you can do that . you 're good at that kind of stuff . nick : that 's a long , long way away . he 's not gon na need me for that . adam : if he does need you for that , if i 'm not there , i need you to tell him that you 're gon na be there for him , okay ? nick , please . just ... show up for him , all right ? especially the teenage years . you know , those -- those teenage years , right , they 're tricky for a young man . he 's gon na need to learn how to talk to girls . i mean , that 's ... nick : well , you know , considering my track record , i should probably keep my mouth shut on that . adam : [ chuckles ] maybe , right ? [ sniffles ] it 's a long , winding road , huh ? i 'll give you that . [ sniffles ] led you to sage , though , did n't it ? nick : and you to chelsea . adam : we 're lucky . nick ... will you do that for me ? will you be there for my son ? nick : it 'd be an honor , brother . i 'll look after connor as if he was my own . adam : thank you . chelsea : [ sighs ] [ connor babbling ] chelsea : i feel like he knows something 's not right . he was so upset upstairs . chloe : it 's because he 's 3 . you 're doing a great job at keeping everything normal . chelsea : because of you . if you were n't here , i ... chloe : i am , though . chelsea : you were right earlier . i think adam ... he did n't plead guilty because of the guard . i mean , he did , but i - i think it was also about delia . that night will haunt him forever . i mean , he avoided taking responsibility for so long , and ... chloe : he did , though . he had his day in court . chelsea : i guess maybe he feels like it was n't enough . maybe he feels like ... he needs to be punished some more . chloe : i 'm really sorry . i - i really thought that when i went to go see adam and i told him that i 'd forgiven him that he would finally be able to forgive himself . chelsea : this ca n't be how it ends . i have to do something . i do n't know what . but i have to stop this . nobody tears my family apart and gets away with it . dylan : hey , kevin . kevin : yo . dylan : finding bethany bryant just became our top priority . kevin : the woman who helped set adam up ? the waitress ? dylan : the waitress . nobody disappears without a trace . and we 're dealing with an amateur who 's never had that much cash before , and she 's gon na screw up a dozen different ways . all we got to do is find one . kevin : and then what ? dylan : `` and then wh -- `` we arrest her . kevin : which accomplishes exactly nothing since adam just pled guilty to a different crime . dylan : yeah , well , we ca n't just let the first crime go . adam was framed . we got to catch the person who started all this . look , adam attacked the guard in prison thinking that -- kevin : that it was victor . dylan : right , and all roads lead back to victor . so if we nail him , we have a chance . it might be the only chance to get adam through this . nikki : of course i believe my husband . ca n't you see how much he 's suffering ? he hates what is happening to adam . he would do anything he possibly could to get him out , so no , he did n't put him there . what we need to do now is stay together as only we can . it 's what the newmans do best . abby : right . yeah , um ... okay , well , i will talk to you soon . nikki : all right , my darling . abby : bye . nikki : bye . victor : that was nice of you to see abby out . nikki : yeah , she had some questions . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : actually , just one question . she wanted to know if i thought you had framed adam . victor : what 'd you say ? nikki : i defended you . victor : mm - hmm . nikki : just as i did with nicholas . victor : mm - hmm . nikki : i said that you would never do something like that . victor : you 're right . you 're right . nikki : i also said it would never , ever enter your mind to frame any of your children to go to jail . but now ... right now , it 's just us . victor : [ sighs ] nikki : so tell me . did you do it ? victor : we all make mistakes , do n't we ? nikki : so you did . you framed your own son for murder . chelsea : nick , hi . nick : hey . is it okay if i come in ? chelsea : yeah , of course . nick : hey , chloe . chloe : hey , nick . nick : i , uh , just came from the prison . chelsea : you went to see adam ? nick : yeah . i wanted to apologize to him , you know , for ever doubting him , for ever thinking that he could ever kill constance . chelsea : thank you . chloe : how 'd he seem ? chelsea : it 's okay , nick . you can tell me . i 'm not gon na break . nick : resigned . like he was in court , like he , uh , just accepts his punishment , feels like he deserves it . chelsea : but he does n't deserve it . nick : i tried telling him that . chelsea : but he would n't listen to you , either , would he ? [ voice breaking ] i do n't understand . how can he do this to us ? [ sighs ] how can he do this to us ? chloe : you do n't want to get upset in front of connor . why do n't we go upstairs ? can you watch him ? nick : yeah , i got it .

[ dramatic music ] [ scene_break ] theresa : you know , i need to thank aunt kayla for saving my life ... and for checking me in here under a different name so brady 'd never find out . shane : you should thank victor , too . he 's the one who found you unconscious in your bedroom . theresa : you know , one ray of light through this whole thing has been the way victor stepped up . he did n't have the power to combat mateo in open warfare , but he has been sympathetic to my cause . and he -- he has n't judged me once . now he saved my life . shane : it 's not just brady you need to be hiding from . i 'm worried mateo may have got wind of this and i would n't put it past him to take advantage of your unconscious state to whisk you away . that 's why i 'm gon na have a man on you as soon as you leave here . you wo n't see him , but we ca n't take any chances . theresa : yeah , you 're right . mateo 's definitely getting impatient with me tying up loose ends with brady . which means i 'm gon na need to speed up the process of breaking things off with brady . shane : i 'm so sorry you have to go through this . theresa : i know . but hey , what 's the saying ? old sins cast long shadows . you know , i set all this in motion a long , long time ago . and i have to see it play out . shane : i know . it 's -- it 's one thing for me to put myself in danger -- i 've been trained to do that , but you , on the other hand -- theresa : i do n't have a choice , dad . i can do this . shane : i know you can . theresa : well , i promise you , no more drugs , no more desperate hopelessness . i can do this . love will be my motivation . love will be my strength . brady : it 's almost like she 's pushing me away on purpose , nic , you know ? but for the life of me , i ca n't -- i ca n't understand why . 'cause a few weeks ago , she -- she was telling me how happy she was . that -- that me and tate , we ... made her life complete . nicole : well , that 'll do it . brady : that 'll do it ? what do you mean ? [ somber music ] nicole : well , whenever i get close to being really , really happy , i always find a way to screw it up . i mean , you 've observed that for years . you know , maybe that 's what theresa 's doing . you know , and if it is -- and for whatever reason , she 's reverting back to her old ways . brady ... it 's not because she 's stopped loving you . maybe she just does n't ... trust that love yet . brady : i thought about that . and it does n't make sense because she said she 's been feeling this way for a long time now . that she 's been trying to work it out , but she just ca n't get over the boredom of , uh -- of her life and me . nicole : boredom ? brady : yeah . nicole : oh , come on . you are a wonderful man who loves her unconditionally and you have this beautiful baby boy . brady : i know . you know , she also said she said that when we , uh , exchanged our vows ... she was stoned . that 's what she said . nicole : stoned ? brady : mm - hmm . nicole : no , you -- you of all people would 've known that . you would 've seen it . brady : right , i thought i would 've seen it , right ? but i - i did n't . i mean , maybe i was oblivious to it . maybe i did n't -- maybe i did n't want to see it . maybe i did n't wan na see the signs because i did n't want to face the truth . nicole : brady , i 'm sorry . [ tate coos ] nicole : oh , may i ? brady : of course you can . nicole : whee . hi . hi , buddy . hi . hey , it 's me . huh ? [ chuckles ] oh , my goodness . brady : theresa used to -- she used to look at him like that . nicole : mm - hmm . brady : she used to dote on him . she used -- she would n't allow him cry for more than ten seconds . she would read to him when he was awake . she would ... take thousands of photos of him . she doted on him , i mean ... but a couple weeks ago , it just changed . nicole : how so ? brady : she avoided him . she 's been avoiding him and it 's like -- it 's like it 's hurtful for her to be around the poor guy . nicole : yeah , well , um ... babies change everything , huh ? yeah . brady : they do , right ? nicole : yeah . brady : changed me . she said it changed her . she said that motherhood ... saved her , but , i mean , was that a lie ? i mean , nicole , i know you think that maybe she felt like she was n't deserving of love or something , but ... i just do n't understand how that could be the cause of it . is that why she relapsed ? the drugs and the alcohol ? is that why she feels like she 's trapped in a marriage ? because one minute she 's this loving mother and the next minute she 's full of ... resentment ... and anger . it 's not right . i want to know why and i want to know what triggered it . nicole : okay . okay . [ scene_break ] [ dramatic music ] hope : i 'm -- i 'm supposed to tell you what happened the last time i saw stefano dimera ... but the truth is , your honor , is that , um ... the details of that day , they are n't -- they are n't very clear . i mean , i do remember going to the dimera mansion to confront stefano . i wanted him to confess to the kidnapping and torture of bo brady . all of the evidence pointed to him and i was so sure and i was so convinced that he was behind all of it . and , as mr. kiriakis just pointed to you , he 'd done the same exact thing to me . trask : objection ! the victim 's past behavior is completely irrelevant . judge : sustained . continue , ms. brady . hope : i did n't go to the dimera mansion with the intent to kill . i went in search of the truth . i honestly do n't remember pulling the trigger ... but i did . and whatever -- whatever my fate holds ... and the court decides ... i honestly will never forgive myself for what i did . i am responsible for what happened . and i will live with that the rest of my life and carry it with me . judge : does the defense have anything else ? justin : nothing further , your honor . judge : you may step down . trask : we will now hear from the victim 's family . [ dramatic music ] brady : kim , it 's brady . listen , i 'm -- i 'm sorry to keep bothering you , but things with theresa are escalating . she did not come home last night and if you have any idea where she is , will you ... please call me and let me know . hey , okay , let me -- i got ta get him into his car seat . nicole : [ groans ] just a few more minutes ? please . brady : nicole , i got ta -- i got ta take him . i got ta -- i got ta go -- nicole : well , you know , i - i - i can stay with him if you 'd like . i mean , deimos just texted me and told me we ca n't meet anyway . i can take him to the park if that 's okay with you . brady : are you sure ? i mean , that 'd be great . nicole : yeah , are you kidding ? brady : are you positive ? nicole : i would love it . yes , please ? brady : all right . okay . absolutely . nicole : thanks . you 're gon na look for theresa , are n't you ? brady : yup . and when i find her , we 're gon na settle this . once and for all . nicole : careful . it 's just us . [ suspenseful music ] theresa : i 'm not stalling , mateo . getting brady to let me go is just taking longer than i thought . mateo : i can make sure he lets go permanently . him and his little ninito . theresa : i told you that i would come with you and i will . i just -- i need to figure out my next move . but once i , uh -- i see that -- that i 've gotten through to brady , you can make plans to leave . mateo : i know something you can do . something that will make brady hate you and never want you back . andré : and i can not deny that i went into extreme measures to bring the true identity of my father 's killer to light . but when that person turned out to be someone who was well - respected and beloved -- a member of salem 's finest -- someone , i believed , her `` boys in blue `` would protect her at any costs -- i could n't help but worry that all the effort that was put in to bring this killer to justice -- my father 's killer , that it might be eclipsed by an opposing force ... perhaps members of the salem pd itself , and yet ... hope : [ whispering ] you said he would n't give roman and rafe away . he gave me his word . justin : [ whispering ] he 's just toying with them and you . andré : here we all are , awaiting punishment for the guilty party . and all my fears of cover - ups and lost evidence is finally put to rest . so , your honor , therefore , i will not make any request in terms of severity -- in terms of punishment . i have faith in the court and the law of the land that justice will be finally served fairly .

why are n't you at work ? lucas : because my mother is there , and i wanted to get away and do a little kayaking . it was great . i actually tied the kayak up , put it in the shed , tied it to the post like you told me , and i brought the oar up because i did n't want somebody disappearing with it . sorry if i interfered with your plans . jennifer : you did n't . i just wish you would have told me that you were gon na be out here . i would have had you wait for the repairman , and it would have saved me a trip . lucas : well , now that we 're both here and we 're both in bad moods , why do n't we talk ?

nick : [ chuckles ] that 's funny coming from a woman who tried to murder me . sami : oh , i see . so all that talk about letting it go , that was just b.s . ? nick : no . no , it was n't . i tried . i really did . but then i think about how cold it was in that river . sami : what would gabi think if she knew about this conversation ? she keeps telling us that she 's giving you another chance because she really believes you 've changed . what if she knew you were threatening me ? nick : what threat ? i would n't dream of using what was done to me against you . or kate . or any of the people that knew what you did and kept quiet about it . sami : you would n't ? nick : no . as long as i get everything that i want . anne : why do you want to talk about theresa ? eric : 'cause i 'm worried about her . anne : why ? she 's a lovely girl and model employee , and i 'd say she has a very bright future . eric : listen , if you think you 're helping my cousin by covering for her , you 're wrong . anne : i am not covering for anyone . eric : what she did to daniel was a crime , and , that bright future you mentioned , she could end up spending it in prison . if there 's anything that you know about all that and you 're hiding it , you could end up being there with her . theresa : your reinstatement does n't take effect until tomorrow , which means you should n't even be in the building . so ... i 'm just gon na call security . daniel : i do n't know if i would do that if i were you . unless you want security to hear about your latest trick . theresa : what latest trick ?

lucas : why , jenn ? where else have you heard it ? liam : well , first i 'll tell your ex - priest boyfriend how you got rid of the evidence that could have cleared him . then i 'll tell your pal daniel what you did to his buddy . nicole : they 're not gon na believe a word you say to them . liam : well , you know , maybe you 're right . you 're such a good little liar . maybe you 've got them fooled . nicole : if you tell them anything about me , you 're just incriminating yourself too . liam : all you have on me is that you saw me in the hallway outside of jonas 's apartment the day he showed up to the o.r . high . but i have got way more than that on you . i have the actual documents you shredded and tried to burn . i can prove you knew some doctor who helped some broad named kristen drug the priest and feed him roofies . so even if dr. dan and the ex - priest do n't believe me , somebody else will . and it seems to be time to locate that somebody . would n't you agree ? nicole : all right . it 's clear we 're in a standoff here , okay . no one 's gon na take your word over mine , and i do n't have anything to tie you to what happened to daniel , so why do n't you just give me what i came here for , and we 'll go our separate ways , and we 'll pretend that we never saw each other . liam : you 're good , you know that ? nicole : thank you . liam : but not as good as me . you think i went to the trouble to paste those kristen papers back together , then left them there where my ex - wife could find 'em anytime she wanted to ? no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . nicole : you 're right . you 're good too . which suddenly seems kind of sexy .

[ snapping fingers ] god , i better get to that person before they get to samantha . sami : here 's the thing , nick . i do n't think that blackmailing me is exactly the best way -- nick : blackmail ? wow . that 's very strong language . you throw a guy in the river , you leave him for dead , you do n't bat an eyelash , and you 're gon na turn around and question my actions ? that 's preposterous . sami : you think this is funny ? nick : no , i do n't think it 's funny at all . i do n't think it 's funny at all . what i am fighting for is a happy life with gabi , the same thing you want with ej . sami : [ scoffs ] nick : and just like you and ej , gabi and i have been through hell and back , and , through all of it , we have never changed the way that we felt about each other . i think you can understand better than anybody when i say that gabi and i are going to be together . and you want to know the craziest thing ? the craziest thing is that you are going to be the one to make sure that nothing comes between me and my dream . sami : i mean , you have to be realistic here , nick . if i start telling gabi that i 'm okay with the two of you being together , she 's gon na know something 's up . nick : that 's not what i 'm asking for . sami : then what are you asking for exactly ? nick : if this custody agreement goes to court , i want you to make sure that will 's lawyer does n't say one word about my past . sami : [ scoffs ] your past ? and of course that means your conviction for murder , right ? well , i 'm sorry , but i do n't have any control over what will 's lawyer is going to do or say . nick : oh , sure you do . you have amazing powers of persuasion . sami : so you expect me to convince a lawyer not to mention the fact that arianna 's mother 's boyfriend killed a guy ? nick : let me put this to you another way . okay , if will 's lawyer uses my past in order to get the advantage over gabi , you and ej and kate and will and sonny will be very , very sorry . you 'll all be lawyering up , but it wo n't matter . because the only way that you will see arianna is through a plexiglas window with a guard looking over your shoulder . thanks . i knew i could count on your help . ej : listen carefully . the ferry to smith island , okay ? waiting area , i want the surveillance footage . i want video and stills . 3rd of january after 4 : 00 . well , of course it 's difficult . if it was easy , i 'd bloody do it . then get creative . i do n't care . that 's what i pay you for . just get it done . how could that one stupid mistake ruin my bloody life ? ben : would you like a refill on your coffee ? abigail : uh , no , thanks . i think i 've had my fill of caffeine for the day . ben : how about some decaf ? abigail : uh ... ben : i 'm just trying to look busy so i can maybe get some more time . my shift 's only two hours today , and then i 'm off for the rest of the day . abigail : lucky for you , sonny is my cousin , so i can put in a good word if you want . ben : thanks , but i do n't want to rock the boat . i 'm just happy to have a job . abigail : where 'd you work before ? ben : you would n't know it . it 's not here in salem . but i was thinking , when i 'm finished , maybe we could go -- [ cell phone rings ] abigail : oh , you know what , i 'm so sorry . i have to get this , and i got to go , but , yeah , maybe i 'll see you around . bye . ben : nice . real smooth . anne : your friend brady black may have used his money and his clout to get you reinstated , but not until tomorrow , so get the hell out of my office . let 's go .

daniel : yeah , yeah , jennifer and i thought we had it all figured out , but now ... i 'm not so sure . theresa : if it 's her or me , anne 's gon na give me up in a heartbeat . daniel already thinks that i 'm the one who did this , and -- god , that nut job liam . who knows what he 's gon na try next ? why did i give him that key ? i ca n't just sit around here waiting it for it to hit the fan , i ... that 's for sure . i have to do something . nicole : rafe ... you and i both know there 's plenty to dig up on me . do i really need to get into specifics ? rafe : okay . so what 's the guy 's name ? nicole : liam . liam frazer . rafe : so tell me , does this guy have something on you from your past ? nicole : let 's just say what he knows would kill eric . and eric 's already been through enough already , and i know i should have told him from the beginning , but it 's just not the kind of thing you want to bring up . rafe : why do n't you just drop the story and then the whole thing will go away ? nicole : i ca n't do that . i already pitched it to my producer , and he loved it . rafe : all right . okay . nicole : now i mean if this guy were to get busted before the story aired , then i 'm off the hook . rafe : right . and the guy that would be doing the busting ? that would be me , right ? ej : samantha . would you look at me , please ? nicholas fallon is bluffing . and it 's not going to work . sami : he has pictures of us throwing him in the river . ej : he is a pest . nothing more . if he becomes anything more than an irritant , he will be dealt with . sonny : i do n't know if you and i should be talking about nick . lucas : well , i do , because i know what he 's capable of . is he trying to threaten will ? the fact that he knows that will shot ej ? sonny : no . but he and gabi are looking like they 're about to get back together . lucas : what ? you 've got to be kidding me . what 's wrong with that woman ? is she out of her freaking mind ? sonny : all i know is there 's nothing we can do about it . and now will and gabi are about to work out legal custody of the baby . lucas : you think that nick could try to screw that up . sonny : i think he already started . lucas : well , he 's not gon na get anywhere . i 've been waiting a long time to see my son happy , and now that he is i 'm not gon na let nick fallon mess with that . boy , that little bastard better think again . nick : [ exhales ] okay . abigail : look , i 'm trying to not pick sides here , okay ? but you are making it so difficult for me , nick , because i know that you made will and sonny 's life miserable before . nick : oh , my god , seriously ? seriously ? i 'm so , so , so sick about hearing about poor will and poor sonny . everybody in my family , everybody in this town has these two guys up on some kind of pedestal . abigail : no , they do n't . nick : what about what i want ? what about i want ? what about my life ? does that not matter at all ? abigail : yes , it matters . of course it matters . it does , it 's just -- you 're in the middle of this custody thing , and it should be between gabi and will and nobody else . nick , it does n't have anything to do with you . it 's none of your business . nick : do n't you dare tell me what is and what is n't my business . ben : get the hell away from her . abigail : what ? whoa ! ben , wait . what are you doing ? theresa : come on , come on , come on , come on , come on , pick up , god . hey , mom . it 's me . no , i 'm okay . i - i 've just been thinking about how supportive you guys were when you came to visit me in salem , and i just really miss you a lot . i was wondering if maybe i could come home for a visit . like today . no , i checked . there 's actually a flight i can still get on . if that 's all right with you . eric : this must be about theresa . daniel : yeah . and then maybe more than theresa . eric : daniel , what do you mean ? daniel : i 'm beginning to wonder if i 'm missing something here . rafe : your friend frazer has quite the past . nicole : like what ? rafe : well , some of it 's sealed , but there are a couple of complaints against him . oh , yeah , look at that . several charges for domestic violence . ooh , stalking charge . nice . nicole : i told you , this guy 's scary . rafe : yeah , yeah , i see that . you know , the trouble is , there are n't any convictions . nicole : none ?

why are n't you at work ? lucas : because my mother is there , and i wanted to get away and do a little kayaking . it was great . i actually tied the kayak up , put it in the shed , tied it to the post like you told me , and i brought the oar up because i did n't want somebody disappearing with it . sorry if i interfered with your plans . jennifer : you did n't . i just wish you would have told me that you were gon na be out here . i would have had you wait for the repairman , and it would have saved me a trip . lucas : well , now that we 're both here and we 're both in bad moods , why do n't we talk ?

ben : she 's in deeper with you than i 've ever seen her with anyone . she says you 're a good guy . right now i 'm taking her word for it . rafe : yeah , i can tell . ben : if you 're not serious about her , you better back off . rafe : jordan , give me a call . i need to talk to you . ej : nice . nice work , mate . you deleted every contact you had with abigail . now even you ca n't pin down when you went to smith island . wait a second . it was when samantha went to chicago to supervise the photo shoot . dates and photographs . my whole bloody life is dates and photographs . yes , get me somebody in advertising . abigail : nick asked me for the name of the lawyer that represented jj in court . sonny : oh , do n't worry about it . abigail : well , if i caused trouble for will -- sonny : if nick had n't gotten the name from you , he would have found it somewhere else . abigail : he did swear to me that he 's not up to anything . sonny : and you 'd like to believe him . but i do n't believe a word that comes out of his lying mouth . if he has the chance , he 's gon na end up hurting gabi again and will . and i will not let that happen . sami : let me ask you one thing , nick . why are you torturing us ? nick : [ chuckles ] that 's funny coming from a woman who tried to murder me . sami : oh , i see . so all that talk about letting it go , that was just b.s . ? nick : no . no , it was n't . i tried . i really did . but then i think about how cold it was in that river . sami : what would gabi think if she knew about this conversation ? she keeps telling us that she 's giving you another chance because she really believes you 've changed . what if she knew you were threatening me ? nick : what threat ? i would n't dream of using what was done to me against you . or kate . or any of the people that knew what you did and kept quiet about it . sami : you would n't ? nick : no . as long as i get everything that i want . anne : why do you want to talk about theresa ? eric : 'cause i 'm worried about her . anne : why ? she 's a lovely girl and model employee , and i 'd say she has a very bright future . eric : listen , if you think you 're helping my cousin by covering for her , you 're wrong . anne : i am not covering for anyone . eric : what she did to daniel was a crime , and , that bright future you mentioned , she could end up spending it in prison . if there 's anything that you know about all that and you 're hiding it , you could end up being there with her . theresa : your reinstatement does n't take effect until tomorrow , which means you should n't even be in the building . so ... i 'm just gon na call security . daniel : i do n't know if i would do that if i were you . unless you want security to hear about your latest trick . theresa : what latest trick ? daniel : did it not occur to you that my son could have gotten hold of those pills ? or did you just not care that my little boy could have died . theresa : what are you talking about ? jennifer : daniel would never go into surgery high . he would never put his patients ' safety at risk , lucas . lucas : yeah , yeah , i agree . the drug thing does n't seem like daniel . but then again i never thought he 'd sleep with my fiancée behind my back , either . jennifer : okay , really ? you 're gon na go there ? i am not doing this -- lucas : is n't at least possible you do n't know this guy as well as you think you do . jennifer : do you know how sick and tired i am of hearing that ? lucas : why , jenn ? where else have you heard it ? liam : well , first i 'll tell your ex - priest boyfriend how you got rid of the evidence that could have cleared him . then i 'll tell your pal daniel what you did to his buddy . nicole : they 're not gon na believe a word you say to them . liam : well , you know , maybe you 're right . you 're such a good little liar . maybe you 've got them fooled . nicole : if you tell them anything about me , you 're just incriminating yourself too . liam : all you have on me is that you saw me in the hallway outside of jonas 's apartment the day he showed up to the o.r . high . but i have got way more than that on you . i have the actual documents you shredded and tried to burn . i can prove you knew some doctor who helped some broad named kristen drug the priest and feed him roofies . so even if dr. dan and the ex - priest do n't believe me , somebody else will . and it seems to be time to locate that somebody . would n't you agree ? nicole : all right . it 's clear we 're in a standoff here , okay . no one 's gon na take your word over mine , and i do n't have anything to tie you to what happened to daniel , so why do n't you just give me what i came here for , and we 'll go our separate ways , and we 'll pretend that we never saw each other . liam : you 're good , you know that ? nicole : thank you . liam : but not as good as me . you think i went to the trouble to paste those kristen papers back together , then left them there where my ex - wife could find 'em anytime she wanted to ? no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . nicole : you 're right . you 're good too . which suddenly seems kind of sexy . [ exclaims ] okay , you 're hurting me . liam : how dumb do you think i am ? clerk : everything okay in here ? lucas : who else thinks i 'm right about daniel ? jennifer : it does n't matter . that 's not what 's bothering me . lucas : then what is it ? look , you know what , just forget that i 'm the wronged guy here for a second and just remember that i 'm your little brother who cares about you . jennifer : no . someone got in here , and they set you up . i do n't care if you believe this or not , but i know it 's true . and someone is trying to do more than trash daniel 's reputation . they are trying to destroy him . lucas : okay , who is it ? anne : i resent the implication that you think i know anything about daniel jonas 's situation . you may be an ex - priest , but i am feeling very threatened at this moment . eric : yeah , well , i 'm just trying to get to the bottom of this . anne : theresa is your family . should n't you be showing her some loyalty . eric : well , her family made arrangements for her to move out here because she got into a lot of trouble in california . anne : mm - hmm . eric : she was surrounded by family , and she still overdosed . so i do n't think our support has done theresa much good . anne : so now you 're out to get her ? eric : no , i 'm trying to save her from herself . from the influence of friends like you . if you find that to be threatening , that works for me . daniel : do you hear me ? my son could have gotten a hold of those pills , and he could have died , so this is n't time for you to play dumb . and if you 've been telling yourself that you stashed those pills in a safe place , well , there is no safe place in an apartment with a four - year - old . why are n't you saying something ? anne : hey ! what the hell is going on in here ? liam : actually , we got what we needed , and my wife was just saying good - bye . is n't that right , honey ? nicole : uh , right . honey . sonny : hey , ben , can you handle a beer delivery ? the guy 's out back . ben : oh , sure thing . sonny : abigail . hey , i hope you did n't think i was going off on you before . i 'm really sorry . abigail : no , no , no , no , sonny , listen , if i did n't know the problems that nick has caused for will and gabi and for you , i would have to be blind . or stupid . or both . sonny : okay , thanks , i appreciate that . abigail : yeah , sure . sonny : oh , and , just so you know , ben , the guy that you were checking out , he thinks you 're hot too . ej : but you have n't had anybody to talk to about this , have you ? must be hard . abigail : it 's better than having anyone know what a fool i was . i would die , ej . no one -- no one would ever even look at me the same . ej : she would n't lie about that . but someone found out anyway . somebody who wanted something on me . someone -- [ phone rings ] ej : yes ? what , the 3rd of january ? you 're certain ? thank you . okay . well , i made sure nobody followed me . abigail took the ferry , so they must have followed her . somebody who knew why she was going to that island . somebody who was in salem on the 3rd of january . [ snapping fingers ] god , i better get to that person before they get to samantha . sami : here 's the thing , nick . i do n't think that blackmailing me is exactly the best way -- nick : blackmail ? wow . that 's very strong language . you throw a guy in the river , you leave him for dead , you do n't bat an eyelash , and you 're gon na turn around and question my actions ? that 's preposterous . sami : you think this is funny ? nick : no , i do n't think it 's funny at all . i do n't think it 's funny at all . what i am fighting for is a happy life with gabi , the same thing you want with ej . sami : [ scoffs ] nick : and just like you and ej , gabi and i have been through hell and back , and , through all of it , we have never changed the way that we felt about each other . i think you can understand better than anybody when i say that gabi and i are going to be together . and you want to know the craziest thing ? the craziest thing is that you are going to be the one to make sure that nothing comes between me and my dream . sami : i mean , you have to be realistic here , nick . if i start telling gabi that i 'm okay with the two of you being together , she 's gon na know something 's up . nick : that 's not what i 'm asking for . sami : then what are you asking for exactly ? nick : if this custody agreement goes to court , i want you to make sure that will 's lawyer does n't say one word about my past . sami : [ scoffs ] your past ? and of course that means your conviction for murder , right ? well , i 'm sorry , but i do n't have any control over what will 's lawyer is going to do or say . nick : oh , sure you do . you have amazing powers of persuasion . sami : so you expect me to convince a lawyer not to mention the fact that arianna 's mother 's boyfriend killed a guy ? nick : let me put this to you another way . okay , if will 's lawyer uses my past in order to get the advantage over gabi , you and ej and kate and will and sonny will be very , very sorry . you 'll all be lawyering up , but it wo n't matter . because the only way that you will see arianna is through a plexiglas window with a guard looking over your shoulder . thanks . i knew i could count on your help . ej : listen carefully . the ferry to smith island , okay ? waiting area , i want the surveillance footage . i want video and stills . 3rd of january after 4 : 00 . well , of course it 's difficult . if it was easy , i 'd bloody do it . then get creative . i do n't care . that 's what i pay you for . just get it done . how could that one stupid mistake ruin my bloody life ? ben : would you like a refill on your coffee ? abigail : uh , no , thanks . i think i 've had my fill of caffeine for the day . ben : how about some decaf ? abigail : uh ... ben : i 'm just trying to look busy so i can maybe get some more time . my shift 's only two hours today , and then i 'm off for the rest of the day . abigail : lucky for you , sonny is my cousin , so i can put in a good word if you want . ben : thanks , but i do n't want to rock the boat . i 'm just happy to have a job . abigail : where 'd you work before ? ben : you would n't know it . it 's not here in salem . but i was thinking , when i 'm finished , maybe we could go -- [ cell phone rings ] abigail : oh , you know what , i 'm so sorry . i have to get this , and i got to go , but , yeah , maybe i 'll see you around . bye . ben : nice . real smooth . anne : your friend brady black may have used his money and his clout to get you reinstated , but not until tomorrow , so get the hell out of my office . let 's go .

[ cell phone rings ] nicole : i 'm sorry , my love . i ca n't talk right now . i 've got to get to someone . someone who can take care of liam once and for all . lucas : oh , hey . sonny ? ben : yeah , he 's right over there . lucas : oh , thanks , appreciate it . ben : no worries . lucas : hey . sonny : hey . lucas : how you doing ? i got your message . what 's up ? sonny : will 's home with arianna , but ... this is from both of us . lucas : really ? sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : you 're too much . i got ta tell you . `` your words meant the world to us . `` i do n't think anyone 's ever said that to me before . sonny : well , we mean it . lucas : thank you . really . sonny : you 're very welcome . lucas : so how 's married life so far ? everything you 'd hoped for ? sonny : that and a whole lot more . lucas : why , what 's wrong ? [ door slams ] sami : i wish that river had done its job and none of us had to deal with nick fallon ever again . ej : what now ? sami : will told me that nick is the one who convinced gabi to go along with the idea of a custody agreement . i should have known -- i should have known it was fishy . ej : okay , i take it you 've seen nick . sami : yeah . and it 's clear that he 's not given up . he 's gon na do whatever he can to take arianna away from will . abigail : hey . thanks for meeting me . nick : yeah , no problem . i do n't have that much time , but ... abigail : why not ? you have another meeting with gabi and that lawyer that you got for her with my help ? nick : [ scoffs ] theresa : you 're getting ready to hang me out to dry , i can tell it by your face . anne : there 's going to be an article about me in the hospital news magazine accompanied by photos . nothing is going to screw that up , least of all you . theresa : i 'm telling you , i got rid of that key a long time ago . anne : you know what , you need to not talk anymore , okay ? unless you want me to file a report about this new discovery i 've made . theresa : i think i 'm gon na go home . take a personal day . anne : that 's an excellent idea . nicole : hmm . oh , my god , thank god you 're here . rafe : well , yeah , i got your message . it sounded like freddy krueger had just broken in . nicole : oh , i do n't know why . i mean , i 'm fine . rafe : okay , so what 's the problem ? nicole : you want to give an investigative reporter a little help ? rafe : what kind of help ? nicole : okay , i 'm doing a story on this really bad guy who happens to be a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company . rafe : okay . i 'm interested . nicole : well , he sort of found out , and now he 's dug up some stuff on me , something that could really hurt me . rafe : right . but i ca n't help you unless you tell me what it is . daniel : oh , come on , jennifer . pick up . pick up . pick up . oh , the call got dropped . jennifer : hey . um , listen , i hope this wo n't take long . i really need to catch the next ferry back to salem . lucas : you and will are n't having problems already , are you ? sonny : no . no , no . we 're -- we 're good . we are better than ever . i should n't have led on that something was wrong . lucas : sonny , come on now , man , i 'm your father - in - law . you can talk to me about anything . i mean that . sonny : i do n't know about that . lucas : all right , then . let me guess . this is about good old cousin nick again , is n't it ? sami : nick hires her an attorney , and he thinks he gets to be in charge of how the custody agreement is going to go . and , by the way , thank you for telling me that you are will 's lawyer . ej : how did you find out about that ? sami : will told me . ej : would you prefer that he were represented by somebody else ? sami : no , of course not . i just -- well , yes , now . nick made it clear that i have to convince you not to mention his past in court . ej : oh , please , that 's absolutely ridiculous . i ca n't do that . i mean , there 's no way that william is going to approve of me saying that he likes nick 's relationship with gabriella . sami : no , of course not . but if you bring it up in court or if you mention the fact that he is a convicted murderer , he 's going to bring those photos to the judge , and he 's gon na get us all thrown in prison . and then that convicted murderer is gon na end up raising our granddaughter . ej : samantha , that is not going to happen . sami : how can you be so sure ? ej : well , for one because i do n't think gabriella is going to allow nick to do that to william . sami : gabi ? you ca n't possibly be counting on gabi . she does n't even know her own mind until nick tells it to her . face it : gabi is under nick 's thumb , which means so are we . abigail : when you asked me about that lawyer , you said that it did n't have anything to do with gabi , and i asked you straight up if it was about her , and you completely dodged the question . you said that you did n't want a lecture . nick : i ca n't talk about gabi 's personal business , not even with you . abigail : you 're in this custody thing up to your eyeballs , are n't you ? nick : who told you that ? abigail : oh , my god , nick . nick : what , sami ? sonny ? will 's dad ? one of the other zillion people who are backing will ? what about gabi ? gabi has nobody . abigail : she has rafe . nick : no , she does n't have rafe . rafe turned his back on her because she wants to be with me . and apparently you have too . jennifer : okay , so water heater is good to go ? yeah , but i need to let the water run out and then shut the valve off . jennifer : am i gon na miss the next ferry ? no , should n't take more than about ten minutes . jennifer : great .

daniel : yeah , yeah , jennifer and i thought we had it all figured out , but now ... i 'm not so sure . theresa : if it 's her or me , anne 's gon na give me up in a heartbeat . daniel already thinks that i 'm the one who did this , and -- god , that nut job liam . who knows what he 's gon na try next ? why did i give him that key ? i ca n't just sit around here waiting it for it to hit the fan , i ... that 's for sure . i have to do something . nicole : rafe ... you and i both know there 's plenty to dig up on me . do i really need to get into specifics ? rafe : okay . so what 's the guy 's name ? nicole : liam . liam frazer . rafe : so tell me , does this guy have something on you from your past ? nicole : let 's just say what he knows would kill eric . and eric 's already been through enough already , and i know i should have told him from the beginning , but it 's just not the kind of thing you want to bring up . rafe : why do n't you just drop the story and then the whole thing will go away ? nicole : i ca n't do that . i already pitched it to my producer , and he loved it . rafe : all right . okay . nicole : now i mean if this guy were to get busted before the story aired , then i 'm off the hook . rafe : right . and the guy that would be doing the busting ? that would be me , right ? ej : samantha . would you look at me , please ? nicholas fallon is bluffing . and it 's not going to work . sami : he has pictures of us throwing him in the river . ej : he is a pest . nothing more . if he becomes anything more than an irritant , he will be dealt with . sonny : i do n't know if you and i should be talking about nick . lucas : well , i do , because i know what he 's capable of . is he trying to threaten will ? the fact that he knows that will shot ej ? sonny : no . but he and gabi are looking like they 're about to get back together . lucas : what ? you 've got to be kidding me . what 's wrong with that woman ? is she out of her freaking mind ? sonny : all i know is there 's nothing we can do about it . and now will and gabi are about to work out legal custody of the baby . lucas : you think that nick could try to screw that up . sonny : i think he already started . lucas : well , he 's not gon na get anywhere . i 've been waiting a long time to see my son happy , and now that he is i 'm not gon na let nick fallon mess with that . boy , that little bastard better think again . nick : [ exhales ] okay . abigail : look , i 'm trying to not pick sides here , okay ? but you are making it so difficult for me , nick , because i know that you made will and sonny 's life miserable before . nick : oh , my god , seriously ? seriously ? i 'm so , so , so sick about hearing about poor will and poor sonny . everybody in my family , everybody in this town has these two guys up on some kind of pedestal . abigail : no , they do n't . nick : what about what i want ? what about i want ? what about my life ? does that not matter at all ? abigail : yes , it matters . of course it matters . it does , it 's just -- you 're in the middle of this custody thing , and it should be between gabi and will and nobody else . nick , it does n't have anything to do with you . it 's none of your business . nick : do n't you dare tell me what is and what is n't my business . ben : get the hell away from her . abigail : what ? whoa ! ben , wait . what are you doing ? theresa : come on , come on , come on , come on , come on , pick up , god . hey , mom . it 's me . no , i 'm okay . i - i 've just been thinking about how supportive you guys were when you came to visit me in salem , and i just really miss you a lot . i was wondering if maybe i could come home for a visit . like today . no , i checked . there 's actually a flight i can still get on . if that 's all right with you . eric : this must be about theresa . daniel : yeah . and then maybe more than theresa . eric : daniel , what do you mean ? daniel : i 'm beginning to wonder if i 'm missing something here . rafe : your friend frazer has quite the past . nicole : like what ? rafe : well , some of it 's sealed , but there are a couple of complaints against him . oh , yeah , look at that . several charges for domestic violence . ooh , stalking charge . nice . nicole : i told you , this guy 's scary . rafe : yeah , yeah , i see that . you know , the trouble is , there are n't any convictions . nicole : none ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : have you been drinking ? spinelli : just my morning allotment of orange soda . maxie : spiked ? spinelli : come on . surely you jest . maxie : i 'm just trying to come up with a reason why you 'd say that matt killed lisa niles . spinelli : because he did . maxie : that 's insane , spinelli . matt would never murder anyone . spinelli : maybe not in his right mind , but he was incredibly intoxicated that night . maxie : so , what ? now my boyfriend -- who just told me he loves me , by the way -- he 's just gon na sit back and watch while i do time for a crime that he committed ? spinelli : i - i believe matt does not recall the incident . maxie : oh , you believe . so , you do n't have proof ? spinelli : not as of yet . but i will . maxie : how ? spinelli : i - i have n't exactly mapped out a plan yet , but a - at the very least , matt is a viable suspect . the judge has to take -- maxie : no ! the judge ca n't know anything about this .

[ applause ] sonya : how does it feel being back ? albry : like you never left , right ? ridge : aubry , aubry , aubry . you always could read my mind . aubry : too bad you ca n't read mine . if you did -- ridge : i 'd realize how anxious you are to come out and check out my latest designs ? jarrett : which i understand are much more provocative than anything you 've ever done . ridge : let me put it this way -- is it wrong to want to have fun ? to want to change things and enjoy doing it ? 'cause that 's what we 're going to do at forrester now that i 'm back . we 're going to make some big changes and we 're going to shake things up in a big , big way . dane : you 're talking -- ? ridge : i 'm talking sex and sex appeal . bold designs that celebrate a woman 's body . sonya : does this mean you 're bringing back `` brooke 's bedroom `` ? dane : if so , is brooke returning , too ? jarrett : oh , yes , what about it , ridge ? is your ex - wife going to be returning and rejoining you at forrester ? sonya : even though she 's engaged to nick payne ? aubry : or is this sexier line your tribute to her because you know she wo n't be coming back ? ridge : next question . jarrett : seems like we 've hit a nerve . ridge : all right you guys . we 're here talking about fashion , not feeding the rumor mill . of course , if you want to talk about gossip , there is one little juicy tidbit floating around about jarrett over here . what was -- it had something to do with -- jarrett : please , i do n't deal in gossip . and neither should any of you .

[ megan sighs ] hmm . then again , how can you improve on perfection , huh ? [ women giggle ] priscilla : you have your family now , samantha . the family i deprived you of so many years ago . i never meant to hurt you , darling , but that 's exactly what i did . at least you 're having your reunion now at long last . [ priscilla sighs ] [ samantha crying ] samantha : you 're probably wondering why i 'm so emotional . caitlin : is everything all right ? hector : everything 's fine , honey . better than fine . samantha : it 's just when i saw you , suddenly it all just came rushing back . caitlin : what did ? samantha : um -- our conversation the other day about your birthday . you know how you ca n't celebrate knowing -- caitlin : my mother died giving birth to me . samantha : right . i know that it 's hard , sweetheart . there 's just so much you do n't understand . hector : so much we have to explain . caitlin : about what ? hector : honey , the most wonderful thing happened . something amazing . the best birthday present i could possibly give you . [ applause ] sally : you know something , your highness ? i think thorne is not going to be content with hiding in ridge 's shadow anymore now that he 's found front and center . and as for ridge -- well , he 's not here , is he ? well , that 's because he is not going to be featured and he figured why bother ? thorn : so again , dad , i 'd like to thank you for this opportunity and for your faith in me . we 're going do some amazing things together . eric : so we are . jarrett : sounds like you 've got some big plans . thorne : actually , jarrett , i have several things in mind . mostly to do with production . increasing efficiency , reducing cost overruns , exploring new technologies and new sources of fabric . you see , i 'm a nuts and bolts kind of guy . albry : excuse me , thorne , but i 'm curious . where do you see fashion trends heading ? sonya : and will forrester creations continue to be a major player ? thorne : i 'd be happy to answer that question , sonya . as most of you know , i 'm not a fashion designer . however , forrester will always be first to break new ground in the fashion industry . dane : with all due respect , we hear that from all the design houses . thorne : yes , but do they have the track record to back it up ? because forrester creations does . and that 's why my father and our family are more committed than ever to setting fashion trends , not following them . now , speaking of family , i would like to introduce you to someone very special to me -- my fiancée , darla einstein . sweetheart , please -- [ applause ] darla : unfortunately , our daughter alexandria could not be with us today . but still , this is an exciting time for forrester creations . and as groundbreaking as this company has been in the past , you ai n't seen nothing yet . [ light laughter ] [ applause ] mother : here are our seats , samantha . all right , let mommy buckle you in . oh , excuse me . i hope we 're not disturbing you . priscilla : no , it 's just my little girl 's name is samantha , too . only she 's not little . she 's all grown up with a daughter of her own . mother : how nice . priscilla : yes . yes , it is . i 'm very happy for her . caitlin : but what , dad ? what is this all about ? hector : this is about your birthday , honey . what do you think ? that 's why samantha is here . she 's part of the surprise that i was telling you about but there 's so much more . caitlin : dad , i do n't really need anything . hector : yes , you do , honey . i only wish that i did n't keep from you what was important to you all these years . i 've kept something from you , caitlin . i should n't have but i did . caitlin : but what , dad ? what is this all about ? hector : it 's about something that was taken from you , honey . i 'm talking about your mother . mother : oh , thank you . [ phone ringing . samantha : you 've reached samantha kelly . i ca n't come to the phone right now , so please leave a message after the beep . [ beep ] priscilla : darling , it 's me . i just could n't leave without telling you again how sorry i am for everything . i hope you find all the happiness you 're looking for with your daughter and hector . and i hope that you have the honest relationship with caitlin that i was n't able to give to you . and despite what you might think , i do love you , samantha . caitlin : i do n't want to talk about this , dad . hector : we have to , honey . listen to me . you have lived your whole life -- your whole life with this hole in your heart because you never had what every other child in the world deserves -- a loving and caring mother . it 's a terrible loss , honey . and i wish to god you never had to go through it . caitlin : that 's not your fault . it 's not anyone 's fault . you lost her , too , dad . i know how much you loved mom . hector : i still do . and that 's what 's so tragic . knowing how different things may be -- may have been if only -- caitlin : if she would have lived ? i think about that , too , all the time . but she died . and she 's never coming back . my mother is never coming back . thorne : so the real strength of this company is the forrester family . which we 've never lost sight of and never will . [ applause ] dane : hey , it 's ridge . ridge : hey , do n't mind me . i 'm just here to -- sonya : wish your brother well ? jarrett : or upstage him with your own announcement , perchance ? ridge : jarrett , i 'm not here to upstage anyone . i 'm very happy for my brother . albry : happy enough to give him your full support ? ridge : he already has my full support . dane : meaning you approve of your father 's decision . ridge : meaning this is a chance for thorne to step up and do what we all know he 's very capable of doing . sonya : so , what thorne just talked about , the strength of the forrester family , any chance you 'll be coming back , too ? ridge : this is n't about me . jarrett : you 're not denying it . ridge : like i said , i 'm very happy for my brother . jarrett : oh , come along , ridge . my sources tell me that you 've been sequestered in your father 's office for days sketching your heart out . now , you ca n't stand there and tell us that -- eric : all right , jarrett , all right . as usual , your sources are impeccable -- not to mention your wardrobe .

jeffrey : hello ? cassie : did you miss me ? jeffrey : hi . did you find edmund ? cassie : answer the question first . jeffrey : i 'm sorry , cassie . i 'm sorry . i got a meeting with the judge . and ... well , did i miss you ? let 's see . only like more than i missed anybody . so , now , did you find edmund ? cassie : no , i did n't . i looked everywhere . but i did get to spend the whole afternoon with r.j . but ... wow . now i 'm here and you 're leaving , huh ? jeffrey : you know what ? no . no , forget it . i 'm going to make - up some excuse for the judge ... cassie : no . no , no . no . no . you ca n't do that . you need to ... you need to go to work . jeffrey : you 're upset . cassie : i 'll be fine . do you mind if i hang out here for awhile ? is that okay ? jeffrey : no , of course not . sure . you can keep the bed warm . hmm . very , very warm . cassie : go . you need to go . jeffrey : i do . all right , thanks . cassie : here . jeffrey : i 'll see you later . cassie : bye . ( knock on the door ) did you forget something ? jeffrey : you know what ? i can be late . i can be late a few minutes . cassie : ( laughs ) no , you ca n't . jeffrey : really , i can . cassie : you need to go . go . jeffrey : i 'll see you later . cassie : yes .

[ scene_break ] reva : nate ? okay . here we go . love this . love this . my own personal heater . where were these things when it was the dead of winter ? ( gasp ) nate . nate : someone 's warm . reva : oh , there you are . nate : here i am . reva : yes , yes . i 'm just ... i 'm hot . i 'm just hot . nate : hardly news to me , reva . reva : i got your message . you said the place was packed . yeah , well , i do n't know how long i can stay , because i have n't heard from joshua yet to tell me what his plans are for the evening . nate : he 's left town . josh . he asked me to get you to call him . i forgot . all right , i did n't forget . but i was hoping we could avoid talking about him . avoid talking altogether . [ scene_break ] mallet : because i was a warden . i know the routine . someone paid my bill . that means i go straight to processing . do not pass go . do not collect $ 200 . guard : you 've got to wait here . mallet : why do n't i wait here ? guard : the soap channel 's on , enjoy . mallet : take time , buddy . no worry . it 's not like anybody life depends on me getting out of here . guard : just sit here . alan : do n't worry . you 'll be out very soon . mallet : alan spaulding . what an honor ? . alan : you know some very expensive strings were pulled to get you out of here . mallet : out of the goodness of your heart , i 'm sure . alan : mr. mallet , you should know that harley cooper needs you more now than she ever has . [ scene_break ] nurse sara : there you are . the police officers were looking for you to finish your statements . maybe i can still catch them . gus : wait a second . wait . you do n't have to do that . nurse sara : why not ? sebastian : this wo n't hurt a bit , good buddy . ( alarm sounds ) nurse sara : that 's dr. wallace 's room . gus : what the hell ? gus : what happened exactly ? nurse sara : he might have had a seizure , just managed to press the call button and passed out . he 's unconscious again . i 'm getting a doctor . everybody out . gus : no . we were going to ... we 'll just wait . harley : yeah , because we were with him when he got hit by that car . gus : we feel responsible a little bit . you know and ... harley : we do feel responsible . and we want to be here in case he wakes up . so ... gus : he does n't really have any family here . nurse sara : if he does wake up , the last thing he 'll need is the stress of you two questioning him . harley : no , we wo n't cause him any stress . gus : we would n't say a word . nurse sara : i 'm sure you wo n't because you 're leaving with me . please . harley : okay . but if he wakes up , we really , really do need to , okay . [ scene_break ] mallet : so do you always bail out people you do n't know to help out people you do n't like ? alan : i did n't bail you out , mr. mallet . i put spaulding 's best attorneys on your case . did you know that the police made a procedural error when they arrested you ? apparently it was it was egregious enough to get the charges dropped . mallet : dropped ? completely ? as in ... alan : you are a free man . mallet : wow , i 'd offer to buy you a beer , but i 'm still waiting to hear what you want from me . alan : they allow you to watch television when you 're in prison , do n't they ? mallet : yeah , news , sports , soap operas . i 'm all caught up . alan : then you are aware that harley 's still at large . the police are looking for her as well as the bounty hunters . mallet : bounty hunters . wow , i wonder who sent them . alan : if harley 's going to survive , she 's going to need help . mallet : she has help . gus . your son . alan : but if something were to happen to harley , gus might be caught in the crossfire and i do n't want that . mallet : oh , so this is all about protecting your son and the hell with harley cooper ? alan : in the perfect i would prefer if harley was caught . mallet : dead or alive as i recall . alan : but this is not a perfect world . but let 's say harley eludes her captors and rides off into the sunset with the man she loves . would n't you rather that man be you ? [ scene_break ] edmund : you told jeffrey you wanted to see me . well , here i am . cassie : you heard me . were you eavesdropping , edmund ? did you follow me here ? edmund : well , i suppose i could deny it , but compare to my other sins , a bit of stalking strikes me as small potatoes . so what 's on your mind ? cassie : i wanted to talk to you about the baby . edmund : our baby . yes , what about it ? cassie : i know this is probably going to be hard for you and it 's probably going to make you angry . but i do n't know . after everything that you 've done to jeffrey and everything with dinah , i think ... i know what i saw , edmund . edmund : you mean last night ? my supposed abduction of dinah . what you saw , cassie , was carefully orchestrated to feed into your insecurities and paranoia and apparently it worked like a charm . cassie : edmund , it does n't really matter how that shovel ended up in your hands . the point is it could happen at anytime . edmund : it 's so easy to believe the worst of me , is n't it ? cassie : well , i 'm sorry , but you have given me reason over and over again . edmund : you came to me , cassie . you said you wanted to get back together again . you said you wanted to be a whole family again . you said you wanted to build something real and lasting with me and then you turn around and sabotage it . cassie : i sabotaged it ? edmund : why ca n't you keep your commitments , cassie ? what are you so scared of ? cassie : you ca n't be suggesting that our break - up is my fault , because i have some kind of commitment issue . edmund : no , that 's only part of the problem . the other part of the problem , the much bigger part of the problem is your interest in a man you are so un- apologetically sharing a bed with while we 're still married . so much for taking the moral high ground . hmm . you seem now to be able to even rationalize adultery . cassie : do n't make this about jeffrey , edmund . edmund : it is about jeffrey . he is at the core of everything that has gone wrong between us . because from the moment he came to town you have had an itch only he could scratch . ( guitar string pulls ) cassie : that 's crazy . i hated jeffrey when he first came to town . edmund : yet , you 've managed to find one reason after another to cross path with him , to draw him into your life , to draw him into our life together and then push me aside . cassie : that is not true . edmund : is that your system here , cassie ? burning urge that only jeffrey o'neil can fill ? are you ready to come back to reality yet ? cassie : reality ? edmund : the one and only reason you have brought all of this turmoil down on top of us . the reason you 're so hung up on jeffrey o'neil . he is a dead ringer for your dead husband . [ scene_break ] reva : josh left town ? why did he tell you ? nate : so i 'd tell you to call him . reva : ( laughs ) where did he go ? nate : iowa . no , that 's not it . oklahoma . creeky something . reva : cross creek . nate : something to do with lewis construction and industry . he did try to call your cell phone . i 'm sure there 's a message there for you and blah , blah . blah , blah , blah . can we please stop talking about stuff that does n't matter to us ? reva : my husband matters . nate : reva , look around you . look . we 're completely alone . reva : and you planned it that way , did n't you ? nate : did i ? would n't that be ... reva : sneaky . nate : what ? reva : we ca n't . nate : ca n't what ? reva : we ca n't do this ? nate : what are we doing ? reva : you 're what ... it 's what you 're doing . you have to stop . nate : no . so i 'm the only one feeling any attraction right now , is that it ? hmm ? reva : no . nate : that electric rush you get when you 're somebody you find so exciting that you ca n't think straight . reva : no . nate : no ? i 'm not the only one ? reva : i 'm married . i love my husband . nate : yeah , of course you do . josh is a really good guy . tells you he loves you every single day . but is n't it nice to know that somebody else out there wants you , too ? what 's wrong with mixing it up a bit ? it does n't make you a bad person . you know , you always say that people come into your life for a reason . and this between us makes you feel alive . and you like that . reva : when ... when did ... when i said that you were passed out . nate : ( laughs ) well , perhaps i was n't quite as drunk as i led you to believe . but reva , those were your words . not mine . your words and your feelings . so come on . just stop trying to deny them . you know what you want . it 's the same thing i want . just ... one night , reva . just one . josh will never know . reva : i 'm married . nate : yeah , keep saying it . and i 'll keep saying what a lovely nice guy your husband is . but as nice as he is , there 's something he 's not giving you , reva . otherwise you would n't be here . reva : and you can offer ... nate : oh , yes . yeah , if you let me . i 'm not asking you to give anything up . but nothing 's going to change . i 'm not making any promises . this is what it is , reva . we both want it and we need it . and bloody insane . so keep fighting it ... when giving in would be so easy and feel so good . [ scene_break ] cassie : you truly will stop at nothing . to even suggest that i would be attracted to jeffrey , because ... edmund : i know you , cassie . i know you better than you know yourself . cassie : no , you do n't , edmund . edmund : why do you think i was so threatened when jeffrey o'neil came to town ? you kept telling me , no you could never care for him . he 's nothing like richard . he 's absolutely nothing like richard . well , you 're right . he is absolutely nothing like richard . on the inside . but on the outside , aye , there 's the rub . that face . you could n't resist the face . and not just the face per se , but everything the face represents : a simpler time , a safer time . when after the trials of your childhood , the hard knocks , losing tammy , hart 's death , you had finally found a man who could take care of you . protect you . and god knows i did my best to try to fill his shoes , but a mere stand - in just was n't going to do . no , no , no , no . you needed an exact replica . cassie : edmund , that is ... that 's ... ( sniffles ) that 's , um ... edmund : not true ? not true ? but it is true , cassie . sadly for you . because aside from the face , jeffrey o'neil is everything that richard was not : brash , selfish , insensitive , a user . cassie , jeffrey o'neil will never , ever be able to give you the one thing you crave most in this world : security . because jeffrey o'neil is not your dear , departed dead prince . cassie , jeffrey o'neil is not even fit to shine richard 's shoes . [ scene_break ] reva : i ca n't . i ca n't , i ca n't , i ca n't . nate : you 're off to such an awfully good start . reva : no , no , no , no , no . no , i ca n't . i 'm ... i 'm going through something . i am . i 'm going through something , but you ... you are very ... josh is ... josh is ... i love him . but you ... he 's everything . he 's everything . he 's ...

[ scene_break ] jason : devlin 's car was near the warehouse the night michael was shot . i 'm saying that is not a coincidence . spinelli : just -- given the years of study that the doctor dedicated to the healing arts -- jason : he 's hiding something . spinelli : an illicit romance would be more likely , or perhaps a patronage for a high - priced escort service . i 'm speaking as a certified private investigator trained in the 47 rules of detecting , which did prove invaluable -- jason : can you find devlin 's bank records ? spinelli : right . i 'm just trying to follow the master 's reasoning so i can learn . jason : i 've only talked to the guy a few times , but he seemed pretty arrogant . spinelli : like most highly skilled surgeons . jason : no , like a guy who thinks he can get away with anything . spinelli : okay , well , he graduated second in his medical school , behind his friend dr. patrick drake . jason : what , then he specialized in plastic surgery ? spinelli : and immediately went abroad . jason : where ? spinelli : that information is not available . jason : so you 're saying a top plastic surgeon -- you 'd think he 'd set up practice in l.a. or new york , but you 're -- you 're just telling me he disappeared ? spinelli : perhaps he chose to work with those less fortunate . jason : okay , you know what ? this is n't making any sense . i want you to keep digging , okay ? spinelli : mm . jason : see if you can connect anybody to devlin who 'd want sonny dead . spinelli : thank you . [ scene_break ] alexis : the night michael was shot , you said that you would be willing to testify against trevor lansing . johnny : i did , and i would . alexis : oh , well , that 's unfortunate because his alibi does check out . he was , in fact , having drinks with the mayor . claudia : then i do n't see how we can be of any more help to you . alexis : i was thinking that perhaps trevor may have hired someone to pull the trigger . i mean , given his association with your family for so many years , he would , in fact , have access to any number of qualified assassins . claudia : as entertaining as this little exercise is , i assure you we have better things to do with our time . johnny : trevor does want sonny dead . and you 're right ; it would have been very easy for him to find someone to do the job . alexis : mm - hmm . that 's what i was thinking . you know , i 'm also thinking how interesting it is that you 're so determined to implicate your own attorney . claudia : trevor 's a slime , but he 's not the only one with motive . i mean , i 'm sure sonny has a long list of enemies . alexis : mm - hmm . you being one of them . maybe . well , rumor has it that you are a woman scorned , so ... and rumor has it that you were locked up or kidnapped or something when michael went missing , so seems to me that either one of you or both of you might want sonny dead .

[ scene_break ] robert : i 'm truly sorry if any of that was awkward or painful for you . sam : oh , painful ? no . i mean , it was a little surreal , but it was a really beautiful way to remember my anniversary with jason today . i mean , you and your grandmother blessed us with double happiness on this day , and i -- i really feel like we had that for a little while . robert : yeah , i wish it was longer . sam : me , too . but i think what jason and i had is more than what most people get . we were really lucky to experience that . i just -- i kind of wish everyone could experience that . especially jake here . jake . jason : yeah . yeah . robert : you getting married soon , jake ? jason : um [ chuckles ] actually , yes , i am . sam : jake has been a really good friend , and i just wish that he could have the same double happiness that jason and i had . jason : well .

[ scene_break ] paul : has n't rivera been at large for quite some time ? michael : yes . but he could have been operating from underground . carlos is a viable suspect . i mean , he murdered duke lavery on command from julian jerome , so it 's not a stretch to think that he would have tried to kill our father . i mean , anna , you know how ruthless he is . anna : yes . yes . i can vouch for that , yes . michael : anna was the last person to see carlos before he escaped . now , we all know he 's out there free to target whoever the hell he wants . i mean , am i right ?

[ scene_break ] michael : anna , you can back me up here , ca n't you ? anna : what ? about carlos being the shooter ? michael : i know we ca n't be certain , but it 's definitely possible , given his history , that carlos went to ground after he got away from you . and now he 's back to help the jeromes target our father . paul : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would a known mob enforcer come after a legitimate businessman ? dante : well , you 'd have to ask carlos rivera or julian jerome . julian 's facing charges of conspiracy for hijacking two of sonny 's trucks . paul : is that so ? michael : anna , is there anything you can tell me that might connect carlos rivera to the jerome organization ? anna : i - i do n't know , michael . uh , julian swore that carlos acted on his own when he killed duke . michael : you do n't believe that . no one believes that . anna : i 'm sorry , michael , i -- you know , carlos -- he 's been off my radar . i have nothing constructive to offer . michael : okay , dante , i have a strong reason to believe that carlos was involved in the ambush on dad . please , you got to bring him in for questioning . dante : hold on . where are getting this information from ? michael : i heard it from carlos ' old boss , ava jerome . paul : [ remembers ] the heads of the families want answers about sonny 's shooting , and you 're going to provide it for them . [ scene_break ] julian : this does n't really seem like carlos ' whole ... framing business . he seems more like a -- he 's an enforcer . he 's not really a criminal mastermind . ava : well , that 's what we let him be . that 's all he needed to be up until now . but in the wake of you leaving the business and my prolonged absence , there was a power vacuum . it makes perfect sense to me that carlos would promote himself out of middle management . julian : yes , but -- ava : `` but `` what ? anna devane stopped by last night to give me a hard time about lavery . ava : oh , gee , i wonder why . julian : anyway , anna was throwing these accusations at me , so i turned the tables around and i said , `` you know what ? maybe carlos did n't disappear after all . `` maybe anna got in touch with her inner vigilante and took carlos out . ava : how did she react ? julian : i got the distinct impression i hit a nerve . ava : yeah ? julian : yeah . ava : you know what , julian ? i think it was probably a very good idea that you got out of the business when you did , 'cause clearly your instincts are n't what they used to be . julian : [ sighs ] maybe . anyway , you know what ? i 'm just glad i 'm wrong and that you figured it out . ava : my pleasure . julian : mm - hmm . so , tell me ... how 'd you figure it out ? [ scene_break ] dante : why would you listen to a word ava jerome had to say ? michael : i 'm not saying that i believe her . it 's just the best theory that we have right now . dante : and what , she just offered this information up to you ? michael : actually , yes . she went to a lot of trouble to inform us that she believes that carlos shot our father . dante : so , did she realize she was casting suspicion on herself and her brother in the process ? michael : well , ava claims that carlos went rogue when he shot duke lavery . and that he 's acting alone . dante : okay , so she 's taken the heat off of herself and her brother now . do n't you see how convenient this all is ? michael : extremely . i mean , i find it far more likely that carlos has been taking orders from julian or ava this whole time , and they 're either preparing to send carlos back into hiding , or they 're very confident that carlos wo n't flip on them , for whatever reason . paul : i - i do n't mean to overstep my boundaries as new kid on the block here , but [ sighs ] rivera 's wanted in lavery 's murder , right ? dante : yeah . yeah , he is . paul : well , then it is n't much of a stretch to believe he could be behind the attempt on your father 's life . i mean , if he took out one alleged don , why not take out the other ? dante : yeah , but we 've been searching for rivera ever since he fled -- us , wsb , interpol , fbi . he is gone . it 's like the guy did n't even exist . paul : all right , then we 're gon na have to redouble our efforts . i 'll issue a new warrant for this latest attempted murder . i 'll even offer a hefty reward for any information leading to his capture . that 'll kickstart the new search into overdrive and get rivera 's face front and center again .

[ scene_break ] ava : well , if we were still running things together , i 'd be happy to tell you how i found out about carlos . but since you 're out now -- julian : the less i know , the better ? ava : yeah . besides , do n't you think it 's a little more important for you to get yourself out from under the rock instead of worrying about how you got there to begin with ? julian : [ sighs ] yeah . you 're right . and right now , we need to get the word out about rivera and make sure sonny 's bulldogs know i did n't try to kill sonny , especially your ex - boyfriend morgan , who came within an inch of blowing me away . ava : morgan will hear it loud and clear . everybody will . in fact , i think news of carlos ' retaliation is spreading like wildfire right now . julian : why would you say that ? ava : i had a sit - down with the five families . julian : you did what ? ava : [ chuckling ] i did . it was fantastic , really -- sort of like the un for crime syndicates . and the best part -- michael was there . julian : michael ? what -- what the hell was he doing there ? he hates sonny . ava : well , i suppose carlos ' magic bullet healed the rift between father and son , because michael was there representing sonny 's interests . julian : hmm . so , what did the five families say when you told them about carlos ? ava : michael heard it loud and clear . julian : and he bought it , just like that ? ava : well , no , not at first . but by the time our conversation was over , he 'd accepted the truth . you do n't have to worry . michael is all about finding carlos . julian : great , great . now you can just back it up a bit for me here . ava : what ? what , is there a problem ? julian : well , yeah . you drop this line about sitting down with the five families like it was something you do every day , like brushing your teeth . so what is going on here ? ava : julian . you retired , and when you did , you focused on derek wells media and your legit operations , and the business -- our business -- was in danger of disappearing for good , so i thought it must be my duty to stand up and take over . julian : yeah . i got that part . what i do n't get is how you were able to get it done since breakfast . so ... did you replace me with someone ? [ scene_break ] dante : i 've re - issued the apb on rivera . paul : terrific . i appreciate that . well done , detective . dante : mm . paul : i 'm sure you will be happy to know that we 're redoubling the search for duke lavery 's killer . anna : hopefully , justice will be served . michael : dante , we have to go . it 's dad . dante : why , what 's wrong ? michael : well , all mom knows is that it 's bad . dante : i 'm sorry , sir . we got to go . paul : by all means , please . i 'm so sorry . anna : yeah . dante : thank you i 'll check back in when i can . paul : all right . i 'm sure there 's no love lost between you and sonny corinthos . anna : no . but ... i -- i saw how duke suffered . and i 've seen someone die from a gunshot wound close up . i would n't wish that on anybody . i should go . paul : very well . uh , there 's just one more thing . anna : yeah ? paul : before michael arrived , you wanted to tell detective falconeri something . anna : oh , yeah , i suppose i did , yes . paul : well , it seemed important . was it ?

[ scene_break ] paul : has n't rivera been at large for quite some time ? michael : yes . but he could have been operating from underground . carlos is a viable suspect . i mean , he murdered duke lavery on command from julian jerome , so it 's not a stretch to think that he would have tried to kill our father . i mean , anna , you know how ruthless he is . anna : yes . yes . i can vouch for that , yes . michael : anna was the last person to see carlos before he escaped . now , we all know he 's out there free to target whoever the hell he wants . i mean , am i right ?

[ scene_break ] michael : anna , you can back me up here , ca n't you ? anna : what ? about carlos being the shooter ? michael : i know we ca n't be certain , but it 's definitely possible , given his history , that carlos went to ground after he got away from you . and now he 's back to help the jeromes target our father . paul : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would a known mob enforcer come after a legitimate businessman ? dante : well , you 'd have to ask carlos rivera or julian jerome . julian 's facing charges of conspiracy for hijacking two of sonny 's trucks . paul : is that so ? michael : anna , is there anything you can tell me that might connect carlos rivera to the jerome organization ? anna : i - i do n't know , michael . uh , julian swore that carlos acted on his own when he killed duke . michael : you do n't believe that . no one believes that . anna : i 'm sorry , michael , i -- you know , carlos -- he 's been off my radar . i have nothing constructive to offer . michael : okay , dante , i have a strong reason to believe that carlos was involved in the ambush on dad . please , you got to bring him in for questioning . dante : hold on . where are getting this information from ? michael : i heard it from carlos ' old boss , ava jerome . paul : [ remembers ] the heads of the families want answers about sonny 's shooting , and you 're going to provide it for them .

[ scene_break ] dante : why would you listen to a word ava jerome had to say ? michael : i 'm not saying that i believe her . it 's just the best theory that we have right now . dante : and what , she just offered this information up to you ? michael : actually , yes . she went to a lot of trouble to inform us that she believes that carlos shot our father . dante : so , did she realize she was casting suspicion on herself and her brother in the process ? michael : well , ava claims that carlos went rogue when he shot duke lavery . and that he 's acting alone . dante : okay , so she 's taken the heat off of herself and her brother now . do n't you see how convenient this all is ? michael : extremely . i mean , i find it far more likely that carlos has been taking orders from julian or ava this whole time , and they 're either preparing to send carlos back into hiding , or they 're very confident that carlos wo n't flip on them , for whatever reason . paul : i - i do n't mean to overstep my boundaries as new kid on the block here , but [ sighs ] rivera 's wanted in lavery 's murder , right ? dante : yeah . yeah , he is . paul : well , then it is n't much of a stretch to believe he could be behind the attempt on your father 's life . i mean , if he took out one alleged don , why not take out the other ? dante : yeah , but we 've been searching for rivera ever since he fled -- us , wsb , interpol , fbi . he is gone . it 's like the guy did n't even exist . paul : all right , then we 're gon na have to redouble our efforts . i 'll issue a new warrant for this latest attempted murder . i 'll even offer a hefty reward for any information leading to his capture . that 'll kickstart the new search into overdrive and get rivera 's face front and center again .

kelly : it 'll have to wait . i 'm in the middle of something . i think miss jones is stealing drugs . elizabeth : sam picked up a slight fever after sneaking out to find you . but all in all , she 's making progress and she 'll be able to go home soon . jason : will you keep me informed on her condition ? sam : why not ask me yourself ? sam : what are you doing , jason ? what 's the point of coming here to check on me and then running away ? jason : i 'm just concerned about you . sam : ok , fine . let me be the one to tell you . sonny : what do you think ?

and for the master of the hous -- turn the page . max : is something wrong ? sonny : yeah , something 's wrong -- i told the idiot that i wanted an herb garden , not a rose garden ! does `` herb `` sound like `` rose `` to you ? max : no , sir . sonny : how am i supposed to crumble rose petals in my pasta sauce ? you know , you -- you want somebody to do a job , and they ca n't remember the slightest information -- ric : where the hell do you get off threatening my wife ?

ric : she did . look , she said she came over here , sonny , to question you about juan escobar and some incident that you had at rinaldi 's -- something i was n't aware of -- in performance of her job , not to harass you . sonny : so what ? ric : `` so what ? `` sonny : i do n't -- ric : `` so what ? `` she said that you flipped out , sonny . you told her that it did n't matter that the two of you shared a child with one another . that if she did n't back off , that you were going to deal with her the way you dealt with every other d.a . before her -- i believe the words you used were `` make her disappear . `` what 's that about ?

anything they want , they just take from us . edward : look , i think we have been more fortunate than most , and i see no harm in sharing with someone who is helping us in return . monica : oh ? who would that be , edward ? edward : scorpio , of course . see , he 's a thorn in luke 's side , and he knows how to burrow in . and sooner or later , luke will get fed up and leave this house , scorpio will leave , and we will have some blessed relief after all . tracy : nonsense . my husband 's not going anywhere anytime soon . luke : you -- you have gone too far . jax : well , robin 's one of the most honest people i know and i think she 'd never tell an intentional lie . nikolas : sounds like a qualification . jax : i 'm one of robin 's biggest fans , which bugs carly . she wishes i had no women friends at all . robin , on the other hand , strongly disapproves of my relationship with carly , so i take everything they say about each other with a grain of salt . i suggest you do the same if you do n't want your head to explode . nikolas : sounds like a good idea . carly : excellent . i do n't mean to be rude , but jax and i have a business meeting . nikolas : sorry to interrupt . jax : it 's no problem . carly : hey -- jax : you need to listen . if you do n't back off robin , you could end up costing us john . carly : we have been over this . there is no way that robin knows that john is nikolas ' son . jax : how can you be sure ? carly : because if she did , she would n't be able to keep her mouth shut . jax : you hope . you know , if you keep ticking robin off the way you are , you keep getting in her face , she 's going to find something to use against you . carly : let her try . jax : robin 's a lot smarter than you think . plus , she 's a doctor , and she has access to hospital records , ok ? if she starts connecting the dots , all it would take is a simple d.n.a . test to end life as we know it . carly : what are you asking me to do , suck up to robin so she likes me ? that 's not going to happen . that woman deserves and earned my contempt , ok ? jax : that 's what it always comes down to with you , is n't it -- your never- ending quest for revenge . is that what we 're about ? or is this -- is this your way to shove our happy little family unit into the faces of everyone that 's dissed you over the years ? carly : i resent that . jax : well , so do i . elizabeth : this is a surprise . are those for anyone i know ? lucky : well , only for the most loving , compassionate -- did i mention `` beautiful `` ? -- wife a guy could ever have . i 'm sorry i 've been such a jerk lately . elizabeth : and i 'm sorry i 've been so overprotective . i love you . lucky : and i love you , too . luke : i 'm warning you . i 'm dangerously close to the limit of what i 'm going to take from you . tracy : i 'm quaking in my pumps . luke : well , you should be . this latest stunt of yours ai n't going to fly . tracy : it already has . robert : excusee , do you guys have to converse at the top of your voice ? this is really eating into my nap time . edward : well , you should be ashamed of yourself , napping in the afternoon like a 2-year - old . robert : well , now that you 've woken me up , what 's the problem ? alan : what 's it to you ? robert : maybe i can help . luke : you ca n't ! monica : actually , i 'm kind of interested to know what tracy 's been up to . luke : cranky buns was obviously so threatened by the prospect of my financial independence that she put a lien on the haunted star , and now i ca n't get a dime out of my own joint ! tracy : well , that is exaggeration as always . he is not penniless . i have gone to great lengths to make sure that he has an adequate allowance . luke : an allowance ? an allowance ? yeah . you were trying to emasculate me , and i ai n't having it . alan : neither am i . luke : thank you , alan . alan : if he does n't have a stake in his own casino , that means he does n't have to work , and we 'll never get rid of him . ric : you and i have been getting along , i 'd like for that to continue , so -- sonny : ok . ric : i want to understand . so why do n't you tell me , what do you think happened ? sonny : well , it 's the same thing always happens . alexis -- you know , we do n't agree on things and -- no , no , i 'm sorry . this time it was different because she was acting in her new official capacity as d.a . ric : well , because she was questioning you about the whole incident with juan escobar and the fact that you hit him in the head with a wine bottle in the middle of his own restaurant . sonny : is that what she told you ? oh -- what 's up , ric ? come on . you guys got nothing better to do in bed than to , you know , talk about me ? what , things are going on and stuff ? [ sonny sighs ] ric : ok , if that much of the story is true , then why should n't i believe what -- sonny : ok , wait , wait , wait , hold on , hold on , hold on . you are -- you 're my attorney , ok ? there 's only so much you can be privy to . all you need to know is that there were some loose ends that i needed -- you know , i needed to tie up from when i was in charge . and i did it . i paid the damage . as a matter of fact , come tax time , we can probably write that off as a business expense . that was a joke . it 's not funny ? ok . ric : oh . no , no . sonny : well , you know what ? you -- you , max , and milo -- you guys are too serious all the time . you got to lighten up . ok , anyway , look , as far as alexis , let me tell you something . she came in asking the same questions , you know , and i did the usual stonewalling , and then she starts spouting off about the `` everybody in my life -- you know , in my lifestyle is going to get hurt , `` nothing new under the sun . now , how she got from that to me threatening her life , i do n't know . you tell me . jason : you think it would n't be easier if i did n't love you ? sam : i want my life back , jason -- the one i shared with you where my happiness and my choice mattered . it meant something -- jason : it does n't exist anymore . everything changed . sam : i see . you get to make up your mind , do what you want , and i have no say . how is that fair ? jason : it 's not . and i would understand if you hated me for it . it might make it easier to stay away . sam : no , you know what , jason ? i 'm not going to hate you . i could never hate you , i could never give up on us . i 'll find a way for us to be together . patrick : oh , see , now , normally , i do n't approve of any other man sending flowers to a beautiful woman in the hospital . but i 'll make an exception as long as those are from lucky . elizabeth : they are , and he 's taking me out to dinner . patrick : the least you deserve . elizabeth : things are getting better now that he 's up on his feet and you 've cleared him to go back to work . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : thank you . thank you for everything that you 've done . patrick : does this mean i still have a chance ?

sonny : you know , i think we can work in a steam room off the pool . did you hear a word i just said , max ? max : steam room , check . sonny : what do you think ? max : me ? sonny : no , your brother . yeah , you . max : well , if you want a steam room , now is the time to install it . sonny : exactly . max : all right , all done here , boss . sonny : wait , i got something on my mind . listen to me , ok ? did -- remember when alexis came over here ? max : yeah . sonny : did i do or say anything to make her freak out with ric or -- max : well , you guys got a little hot . sonny : well , that 's the same song , second verse . i 'm -- you know , she comes in here , right , and she throws her weight around , threatens to put me in prison , i shoo her away . but why did she tell ric that i threatened to kill her ?

ric : ok , touchy - subject alert here -- you two do have a history of misconstruing each other 's intentions . alexis : yes , i know -- i 'm an hysterical woman . we all are . ric : alexis , i looked in the man 's eyes . he had no idea why you accused him of trying to kill you . alexis : because he did . do you want me to tell you the whole thing all over again ? ric : i would appreciate it if you would , ok ? like i told sonny , i 'm just trying to understand . alexis : i went to sonny 's house to talk to him , he was fine , he was polite . then all of a sudden , out of blue , he just snapped . he said , `` i do n't give a damn that you 're the mother of my child , i will do away with you -- `` `` i will have you disappear , `` was his quote -- `` like i would any other d.a. `` and i have to tell you , being at the receiving end of that king of rage was frightening and it still is . and now it 's my turn to not give a damn about him being kristina 's father , because i 'm not giving kristina access to a man who continues to threaten my life . ric : ok , this is where i start to have a problem with all this . [ alexis sighs ] ric : look , there 's no way -- there was so much emotion going on in the room , i have no way of knowing what really happened because i was n't there ! alexis : well , maybe you 'll be convinced when they lay flowers on my grave . ric : oh , come on .

anything they want , they just take from us . edward : look , i think we have been more fortunate than most , and i see no harm in sharing with someone who is helping us in return . monica : oh ? who would that be , edward ? edward : scorpio , of course . see , he 's a thorn in luke 's side , and he knows how to burrow in . and sooner or later , luke will get fed up and leave this house , scorpio will leave , and we will have some blessed relief after all . tracy : nonsense . my husband 's not going anywhere anytime soon . luke : you -- you have gone too far . jax : well , robin 's one of the most honest people i know and i think she 'd never tell an intentional lie . nikolas : sounds like a qualification . jax : i 'm one of robin 's biggest fans , which bugs carly . she wishes i had no women friends at all . robin , on the other hand , strongly disapproves of my relationship with carly , so i take everything they say about each other with a grain of salt . i suggest you do the same if you do n't want your head to explode . nikolas : sounds like a good idea . carly : excellent . i do n't mean to be rude , but jax and i have a business meeting . nikolas : sorry to interrupt . jax : it 's no problem . carly : hey -- jax : you need to listen . if you do n't back off robin , you could end up costing us john . carly : we have been over this . there is no way that robin knows that john is nikolas ' son . jax : how can you be sure ? carly : because if she did , she would n't be able to keep her mouth shut . jax : you hope . you know , if you keep ticking robin off the way you are , you keep getting in her face , she 's going to find something to use against you . carly : let her try . jax : robin 's a lot smarter than you think . plus , she 's a doctor , and she has access to hospital records , ok ? if she starts connecting the dots , all it would take is a simple d.n.a . test to end life as we know it . carly : what are you asking me to do , suck up to robin so she likes me ? that 's not going to happen . that woman deserves and earned my contempt , ok ? jax : that 's what it always comes down to with you , is n't it -- your never- ending quest for revenge . is that what we 're about ? or is this -- is this your way to shove our happy little family unit into the faces of everyone that 's dissed you over the years ? carly : i resent that . jax : well , so do i . elizabeth : this is a surprise . are those for anyone i know ? lucky : well , only for the most loving , compassionate -- did i mention `` beautiful `` ? -- wife a guy could ever have . i 'm sorry i 've been such a jerk lately . elizabeth : and i 'm sorry i 've been so overprotective . i love you . lucky : and i love you , too . luke : i 'm warning you . i 'm dangerously close to the limit of what i 'm going to take from you . tracy : i 'm quaking in my pumps . luke : well , you should be . this latest stunt of yours ai n't going to fly . tracy : it already has . robert : excusee , do you guys have to converse at the top of your voice ? this is really eating into my nap time . edward : well , you should be ashamed of yourself , napping in the afternoon like a 2-year - old . robert : well , now that you 've woken me up , what 's the problem ? alan : what 's it to you ? robert : maybe i can help . luke : you ca n't ! monica : actually , i 'm kind of interested to know what tracy 's been up to . luke : cranky buns was obviously so threatened by the prospect of my financial independence that she put a lien on the haunted star , and now i ca n't get a dime out of my own joint ! tracy : well , that is exaggeration as always . he is not penniless . i have gone to great lengths to make sure that he has an adequate allowance . luke : an allowance ? an allowance ? yeah . you were trying to emasculate me , and i ai n't having it . alan : neither am i . luke : thank you , alan . alan : if he does n't have a stake in his own casino , that means he does n't have to work , and we 'll never get rid of him . ric : you and i have been getting along , i 'd like for that to continue , so -- sonny : ok . ric : i want to understand . so why do n't you tell me , what do you think happened ? sonny : well , it 's the same thing always happens . alexis -- you know , we do n't agree on things and -- no , no , i 'm sorry . this time it was different because she was acting in her new official capacity as d.a . ric : well , because she was questioning you about the whole incident with juan escobar and the fact that you hit him in the head with a wine bottle in the middle of his own restaurant . sonny : is that what she told you ? oh -- what 's up , ric ? come on . you guys got nothing better to do in bed than to , you know , talk about me ? what , things are going on and stuff ? [ sonny sighs ] ric : ok , if that much of the story is true , then why should n't i believe what -- sonny : ok , wait , wait , wait , hold on , hold on , hold on . you are -- you 're my attorney , ok ? there 's only so much you can be privy to . all you need to know is that there were some loose ends that i needed -- you know , i needed to tie up from when i was in charge . and i did it . i paid the damage . as a matter of fact , come tax time , we can probably write that off as a business expense . that was a joke . it 's not funny ? ok . ric : oh . no , no . sonny : well , you know what ? you -- you , max , and milo -- you guys are too serious all the time . you got to lighten up . ok , anyway , look , as far as alexis , let me tell you something . she came in asking the same questions , you know , and i did the usual stonewalling , and then she starts spouting off about the `` everybody in my life -- you know , in my lifestyle is going to get hurt , `` nothing new under the sun . now , how she got from that to me threatening her life , i do n't know . you tell me . jason : you think it would n't be easier if i did n't love you ? sam : i want my life back , jason -- the one i shared with you where my happiness and my choice mattered . it meant something -- jason : it does n't exist anymore . everything changed . sam : i see . you get to make up your mind , do what you want , and i have no say . how is that fair ? jason : it 's not . and i would understand if you hated me for it . it might make it easier to stay away . sam : no , you know what , jason ? i 'm not going to hate you . i could never hate you , i could never give up on us . i 'll find a way for us to be together . patrick : oh , see , now , normally , i do n't approve of any other man sending flowers to a beautiful woman in the hospital . but i 'll make an exception as long as those are from lucky . elizabeth : they are , and he 's taking me out to dinner . patrick : the least you deserve . elizabeth : things are getting better now that he 's up on his feet and you 've cleared him to go back to work . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : thank you . thank you for everything that you 've done . patrick : does this mean i still have a chance ? elizabeth : um -- no . kelly : i just had an interesting conversation with lucky spencer . patrick : mm - hmm ? kelly : i 'm starting to understand how he got the idea that you 're hitting on his wife . p.a . announcer : dr. scorpio , 3404 . dr. robin scorpio -- patrick : you jealous , doctor ? kelly : it 's true -- i 'm a card - carrying member of the patrick drake fan club -- patrick : yeah . kelly : and i would n't object if you threw a little bit of your transparent but intoxicating charm my way . but then again , i 'm single -- as in unattached . as in `` i do n't have a husband who also happens to be a cop to object to your constant flirting , `` so here 's a hint . pick someone who is n't elizabeth to hit on next time . kristina : mommy , i like this new house . alexis : oh , i 'm so glad . ooh , that makes me so happy . you know what ?

sonny : you know , i think we can work in a steam room off the pool . did you hear a word i just said , max ? max : steam room , check . sonny : what do you think ? max : me ? sonny : no , your brother . yeah , you . max : well , if you want a steam room , now is the time to install it . sonny : exactly . max : all right , all done here , boss . sonny : wait , i got something on my mind . listen to me , ok ? did -- remember when alexis came over here ? max : yeah . sonny : did i do or say anything to make her freak out with ric or -- max : well , you guys got a little hot . sonny : well , that 's the same song , second verse . i 'm -- you know , she comes in here , right , and she throws her weight around , threatens to put me in prison , i shoo her away . but why did she tell ric that i threatened to kill her ?

[ knock on door ] jason : spinelli is not here right now . maxie : good , because i need your help . should i make a last - ditch effort to save what i have with spinelli , or is there nothing left to save ? jason : i do n't know what to tell you . maxie : oh , come on , jason . me coming to you with a relationship problem is like asking a brick to solve a math problem . jason : then why are you asking me ? maxie : because i 'm desperate , and i feel like if i make a terrible decision , something really bad 's going to happen , like spinelli 's going to get his heart broken , or i will .

[ scene_break ] jason : this is a bad time , maxie . maxie : okay . well , it is a bad time for me , too , and i know you would like to be looking for franco . i absolutely think that you should . but look at it this way -- a few more minutes talking to me , a few more minutes you stay out of prison . jason : fine . go ahead . maxie : okay . i know you know how much i love spinelli . but i get distracted by other men -- not by franco , never again by franco -- but different men , yes . and spinelli deserves more than that . i feel like he deserves better than me . jason : is n't that up to spinelli ? maxie : spinelli always sees the best in me . he makes me want to be a better person -- or at least he used to , until i started getting tempted . the point is , spinelli is a good guy . i mean , he 's trustworthy and honest , and he would never cheat . and where am i going to find someone who loves me as much as spinelli does ? [ door opens ] spinelli : i 'll return when stone cold is ready to work . maxie : no , no . um , i 'm glad you 're here . maybe you can answer my question . matt invited me to the opening of a broadway show in new york . and i 'm not going to go , so i guess it 's more of a hypothetical . but if i did want to go , how would you feel about that ? like , would you tell me not to ? spinelli : it 's not my place to tell maxie what she can or can not do . maxie : spinelli , i understand that , but you have to have an opinion . spinelli : even voicing an opinion would be inappropriate . maxie : of course it would be appropriate . you 're my non - husband . you get to have feelings about stuff like this . spinelli : well , my feelings in this matter are entirely private . maxie : why would you say that , spinelli ? we always tell each other how we feel . spinelli : yeah , when we were traveling on the same path . but maximista is contemplating a path of her own , and that 's quite a different matter . maxie : spinelli , if you do n't stop me from hypothetically going to new york , that 's like saying i 'm officially free . spinelli : well , i guess you have to make your own choice . but i think it 's already been made . you know , you stayed with me out of loyalty , but it 's clear that your feelings have changed . it 's far better to face the truth , however painful , than just keep on going as it were . maxie : ahem . fine . then i 'm free .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , lucky ? it might be a good idea for you to take yourself off the investigation . lucky : is that an admission of guilt ? sonny : it 's just , um , it 's a conflict of interest . your dad and i were business partners , and when you were a kid -- remember , we used to take you camping , how much fun we used to have and all that . and i gave you your first job . so you 're not going to be able to be objective . lucky : but i ca n't ignore what 's right in front of me , either . you ran into that garage seconds before the bomb went off , calling for kristina . and then , dad gave ethan specific instructions for an errand that kept him far away from johnny that night . sonny : i told the cops why i was at the scene looking for kristina . and as far as luke , you 're going to have to ask your dad why he sent ethan on that errand . lucky : case is going to stay open , sonny . sonny : that 's good , 'cause whoever did this , i want justice . i want them to pay . anything else you want to tell me ? lucky : no , we 're done . sonny : good . all right . you know , uh , i hope this -- i hope this does n't put us in conflict . lucky : sonny , look . i like you , you know . and there 's a lot about you that i respect , so this is n't personal . but i am a cop , and you 're the crime lord of port charles , so whether we like it or not , that pretty much defines conflict .
