bobbie : what happened ? courtney : i 'm not sure . we were just eating at kelly 's and jax had a seizure and collapsed . nurse : his b.p . is dangerously low and he 's having difficulty breathing . bobbie : i 'll alert the doctor on emergency rotation . rachel : i 'm right here . do n't worry ; i 'll take good care of jax . [ scene_break ] a.j . : man , look , i did n't want to do this , not tonight . listen , michael , sonny 's busy , ok ? he does n't have time to deal with a son that he ca n't depend on , who 's in trouble all the time . so he -- he gave you back to me . michael : no , he did n't . a.j . : i wanted to give you back . he told me to keep you for good . michael : my dad would never say that . a.j . : i know that this is a tough way to find out but , michael , sonny does n't want you anymore . michael : yes , he does . he loves me . a.j . : that was before his real kids came along . did n't you ever wonder why sonny fought so hard to be a father to kristina ? because she 's his flesh and blood , just like morgan . you 're not , michael . you 're not sonny 's child . you 're mine . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : hold on ! skye : hey . i need to see jason right away . sam : well , come in , but what 's going on ? he 's not here . skye : sonny and jason are planning to kill luke because he freed faith from prison . they 're holding him indirectly responsible for michael 's death . sam , i need you to find jason and stop him . please . i need you to help me save luke 's life . [ scene_break ] luke : i know this is just business . you want me dead because you messed up . you did n't kill faith when you had the chance . jason : does n't matter what i want . sonny gives the orders . it 's up to him to decide what happens to you . luke : well , that 's as it should be . sonny : glad you 're here , luke . i need your advice . how do i deal with the man who let faith out of prison ? [ scene_break ] rachel : men -- you will just do anything to be the center of attention , wo n't you ? jax : so what 's the verdict ? rachel : i think you 're going to live . jax : that 's good . courtney : is it all right if i come in ? jax : hey . yeah , come in . courtney : hey . jax : hey . hi . courtney : so -- um -- have you figured out what happened ? rachel : well , the blood work 's still out , but from my educated guess , i 'd say he was allergic to something that he ingested . courtney : allergic ? does n't that mean breaking out in hives or sneezing a lot ? jax had a seizure and collapsed . rachel : it 's just that some reactions tend to be more dangerous than others . jax : well , that 's the last time i try mike 's mystery plate . it 's strange , though , because i ca n't remember ever being allergic to anything . rachel : well , body chemistry changes . things that were once innocuous can turn on you and become your worst enemy . something is introduced into your system and soon as you know it , without warning you 're flat on your back in a hospital bed -- or worse . ok , courtney , well , i 'm going to have to ask you to step out for a minute . i need to finish up jax 's examination and get him ready for the night . courtney : no way am i leaving this room , so you might as well not waste your breath asking . [ scene_break ] a.j . : michael , you 're a smart kid . use your head . think about the way this stuff went down , huh ? just consider the sequence of events . michael : i do n't know what that means . a.j . : i 'm sorry . um -- the order -- the order things happened , ok ? for example , it all started when morgan was born . your mother got really sick , right ? michael : she was in a coma . a.j . : must 've been pretty scary , huh ? even for a brave little guy like you . sonny was n't around to comfort you , though , was he ? why ? because he was busy taking care of morgan , his little boy . yeah , sure , you were trying to be a good little soldier , trying to keep the peace , but could n't you feel that all of a sudden you did n't matter as much as you used to to sonny and your mom ? michael : my parents love me . my mom would never give me away . a.j . : you know , she would if sonny told her to . michael , you probably do n't remember this -- your mother abandoned you when you were born . michael : she was sick . a.j . : is she sick now ? where is she ? huh ? she 's doing it all over again . i 'm not saying that your mother does n't love you . she probably does in her own way . but she does n't love you nearly as much as she loves sonny . and , little man , in a race between you and sonny , you do n't even place . [ scene_break ] john : hey , agent marshall . what a coincidence . reese : really ? how 's that , mr. durant ? john : well , i just finished reading your report on the corinthos kidnappings . reese : is n't that kind of like reading yesterday 's newspaper ? john : hmm . not by a long shot . i actually found the file fascinating . i also found out something new about you . you 're quite the editor , huh ? all that time you spent with sonny one - on - one , getting into his mind , listening to him spill his guts about his business dealings , his background -- not one shred of anything that indicts sonny for being the bottom - feeding gangster that he is . no mention of enemies , no skeletons hanging precariously in the closet , not even a body count . so tell me , how does something like that happen ? reese : sonny 's a very guarded man . he knew i was in the f.b.i . and , missing kids or not , he 's not about to tell me anything that i could use against him -- assuming , of course , there 's something to get . john : lady , do n't play coy with me . sonny and jason break the law every single day . you know it , you can prove it , yet you do nothing about it , even though it 's your job . so that brings a question to mind -- why ? [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't know where jason is , and if i did , i would n't tell you . i do n't interfere with his business , skye . skye : `` his business `` ? what is the matter with you ? a man 's life is at risk here , a man i happen to love -- despite our differences -- much like you with jason , i would guess . it 's within your power , sam , to stop luke from being murdered in cold blood , and you 're not going to do anything ? sam : i 'm sorry ! there is nothing i can do ! skye : what , are they brainwashing you ? what part of `` jason 's going to kill luke `` do n't you understand ? sam : i think you 're the one who does n't seem to get it . i do not interfere with his business . life is tough sometimes and so is payback , so -- ooh -- [ scene_break ] luke : i 've always appreciated your taste in liquor . sonny : remember the case we kept in the backroom of the club ? luke : owners ' reserve . to the good stuff . [ glasses clink ] sonny : good stuff . luke : mmm . do me a favor . jason , if you 're going to blow my head off , do it now . i 'll be a happy man . sonny : jason , can you wait out in the foyer ? luke : maybe time for a second drink ? sonny : well , you know , i do n't imagine you 'd go down without a fight , you know . i just bought this place , so i do n't want bullets in the paneling or blood on the carpet . luke : creature comforts were always your weakness , sonny . sonny : what can i say ? i -- i like what money can buy , which a lot of it came from frank smith 's old territory , which i picked up courtesy of you . luke : it 's gratifying to be remembered . sonny : oh , i remember a lot . i remember when we used to be friends , when i -- i remember when i picked you up at that old house on charles street . we were doing some job for frank , and laura came out and she asked me to promise her that i would never let anything happen to you . i gave laura my word . how do i break it now ? [ scene_break ] skye : i came to you because i thought that you of all people would do everything within your power to prevent another death . you could n't save your own child 's life or michael 's , but this is a situation you can affect . luke does n't have to die . his family does n't have to experience the same soul- numbing grief that sonny 's family is going through right now . or tell me , sam , do n't other people 's families even matter to you ? you listen to me . luke did not break faith out of prison so she could go after sonny 's kids . he did it to clear me of false murder charges . now , if he 's paying for that with his life , that means that i 'm just as culpable . or -- or maybe i 'm already on some hit list somewhere , huh ? but you ? you 're just going to turn your head and avert your gaze while the bodies pile up , huh ? stay in the kitchen making chili mac for your hit man boyfriend because it 's not your problem ? well , let me tell you something . if sonny considers michael 's blood on luke 's hands , then i consider luke 's on yours . sam : are you finished ? skye : yeah . i 'm sorry i bothered you . and for the record , luke 's not the reason that faith went after sonny 's kids . sonny earned that all on his own . [ scene_break ] reese : everything pertinent to the kidnappings is in my report . john : hmm . but it 's not half of what you could 've included , right ? you have more -- money trails , laundering systems . you were privy to sonny 's private conversations . you know who his enemies are . you know how they got that way . reese : i 'm sorry , were you in the room when i was questioning sonny , because i did n't notice . john : no , but i know that the bureau is keeping you in town for a reason . reese : right , and they are who i answer to , not you . john : you like playing it close to the vest , do n't you ? the way i see it , there 's two possible scenarios going on here . either sonny has gotten to you and you 're trying to protect him , or you 're just marking time until you find something that sonny wo n't be able to walk away from . so which one is it ? reese : well , that seems to be the burning question , now , does n't it ? [ scene_break ] sonny : when you and i first met , lucky was a little older than michael is -- michael was . you were a good father , luke . i used to watch you with lucky . never in a million years did i think that i 'd ever have a son of my own -- as a matter of fact , i was sure of that -- but you know what they say -- you know , `` life is what happens when you 're making other plans . `` michael came to live with me , he became my son . now he is dead , shot and thrown in a swamp by a bitch i should 've killed nine times over , and you let out of prison . i ca n't get past that , luke . i mean , you know ? it 's like driving drunk -- even if you do n't set out to kill , you 're taking a chance with other people 's lives , and even if you did n't know what you were doing , you did it , you know ? it 's -- luke : i know . i think you should kill me . sonny : why ? what good would it do ? it 's not going to bring my son back . jason wants you dead because it 's business . you see , the sandovals -- i 'm having a lot of problems with the sandovals , and killing you would make a statement , but i do n't want to make a statement that badly . i want to remember the camping trips . i want to remember how good you were to stone . the only memory i have of my son is in a swamp somewhere in louisiana . i do n't want to make it any uglier by having your death on my conscience . luke : ok . sonny : so you 're in no -- you 're in no danger , ok , of me or anybody who works for me . luke : ok . sonny : i 'd like the same guarantee . luke : oh , sonny . i got no reason -- no reason to want you dead , unless you try to kill me first . and i guess we 've established that that is n't going to happen -- at least right now . sonny : thanks for coming here and settling this . luke : i 'm glad we could reach an agreement . thanks for the drink . sonny : it 's settled . jason : luke left ? sonny : i gave luke my word . he 's in no danger of me or anybody in the organization . jason : it 's your decision . sonny : you think i 'm crazy ? jason : i think the sandovals are going to move . sonny : let them . luke 's alive because he 's my friend . anybody else who crosses me is gone . no negotiating , no mercy . gone . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i 'm feeling better by the minute . whatever happened seems to be over . courtney : i certainly hope so . jax : i love you for -- for offering , but you really do n't need to stay . it 's fine . courtney : jax , i want to . jax : i think the idea for me is to get some rest . i mean , i ca n't follow doctor 's orders if you 're here distracting me , now , can i ? bobbie : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but we need some more blood from you . it 'll just take a few minutes . jax : ah , no problem . why do n't you pick me up first thing tomorrow ? courtney : you can count on it . ok . rachel : i knew something was on your mind . courtney : you did this , did n't you ? you poisoned jax somehow . rachel : that 's right , i did . and i need you to know that i can do this anytime i like . courtney : you really are insane . rachel : me ? courtney , this is your fault . you forced my hand . you knew that jax was being suspicious and you did n't do anything to divert his attention . if anything , you were about to tell him that i killed a.j . , and you know that that is not part of our deal . courtney : `` deal `` ? we never had a deal , rachel . rachel : oh , we have a deal . it 's just been revised . look , you do n't have to kill steven webber anymore , but you have to keep your mouth shut about me killing a.j . that murder is going to be unsolved and we are both going to go on with our lives . courtney : no , you tried to kill my fiancé . rachel : if i wanted jax dead , he would be in the morgue right now . i knew exactly how much i was giving him . courtney : which is what , by the way ? rachel : well , that 's nothing you need to be concerned with . just know that i can get my hands on it anytime i like . by the way , it 's completely untraceable . so maybe you should keep that in mind the next time you feel like baring your soul to jax , or anyone else for that matter . [ scene_break ] jason : hey . sam : hey . hi . there 's some meatloaf in the refrigerator if you want any . jason : no . i 'm good . what are you doing ? sam : look , reese dropped off a copy of the kidnapping file and she said that -- i do n't know -- there might be some answers to the questions you have about michael . i have been looking through it for hours and i ca n't seem to come up with anything different . jason : i just did . [ scene_break ] skye : oh -- thank god ! i was so afraid sonny and jason were going to try to kill you ! so what happened ? how did you talk your way out of a bullet through your head ? luke : corinthos and i came to an agreement . thank you for your concern . skye : `` concern `` ? i have been running all over town , trying to talk to carly and sam , trying to get them to intercede for you ! i was even going to talk to bobbie to get -- luke : you worry too much , red . skye : yeah ? well , you give me good reason . i may want you maimed and tortured , but i certainly do n't want you dead . luke : i think i appreciate that . skye : well , you can show your appreciation by leaving the state , the country , preferably the continent -- immediately . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny ? sonny , can i talk to you for a minute ? sonny : yeah . what 's on your mind ? carly : sonny , i want to take morgan and i want to go back to the apartment . sonny : ok -- ahem . i 'll have max and enzo go with you . that way , nobody bothers you . carly : sonny , skye came by today . sonny : hmm . carly : so did sam . they want to know if luke 's in danger . sonny : nope . he 's not . carly : even though he helped set faith free and she kidnapped our kids ? sonny : even though . carly : ok , sonny , what now ? hmm ? because the way i see it , you have two choices here . you could take your pain over michael and you can turn it in on yourself , and you can bury yourself in it , or you can lash out at the people you love . but you can not go around and murder anyone who ever helped faith . sonny : this goes way beyond faith . i 've let too many of my enemies slip through the cracks . they got to get the message . you know , the message has to be loud and clear . anybody who threatens me or my family will be eliminated ! carly : there you go . michael : guys , i made it ! i escaped from a.j . ! sonny : why 'd you run away from a.j . ? he 's your father . michael : no , he is n't . you are . sonny : uh -- that 's not exactly the case anymore . michael : what do you mean ? sonny : well , see , your mom and i , we got this family thing going on now . we got morgan ; we got kristina . we do n't really need you , you know ? michael : i 'm your son , too . sonny : yeah , not in the way that matters . i know this is tough to hear , but you do n't really fit in the family anymore , ok ? so , you know , go back to a.j . everything will be fine . michael : you do n't mean that . sonny : come on , carly . let 's tuck our boy in . carly : want to get the truck ? ok . ooh . sonny : there we go . carly : you get the truck ? sonny : yeah , you want me to get the truck ? carly : yeah . morgan likes the truck , right ? ooh . michael : i hate you , sonny ! you hear me ? i hate you ! i hate you , sonny ! sonny , i hate you ! you hear me ? i hate you ! [ scene_break ] skye : sonny is a grieving father , luke . why would you want to taunt him with your continued presence ? do you know how dangerous that is ? do you know how reckless you 're being ? luke : reckless , huh ? well , that 's a hell of a lot better than some of the things you 've been calling me lately . actually , i 'll answer to all of them but `` coward . `` skye : come on , this is n't about running . luke , this is about finishing what you started . go find helena . prove she 's alive so that nikolas can get out of prison and he can go home to emily , and those two kids can have the beautiful lives that they planned together . luke : there ai n't no such thing , red . skye : maybe not for us . luke : not for anybody . time those two kids learned the ugly realities of life . there ai n't no santa claus , no easter bunny , no tooth fairy , no bearded man in the clouds scrutinizing your every thought and deed . there is no justice , and `` happily ever after `` only happens in children 's books and sappy movies . skye : maybe you 're right . maybe it 's a lesson they 're just going to have to learn on their own . but they at least deserve a shot at that happy ending . and if you can give it to them , and you can get out of port charles while the heat dies down at the same time , why not do it ? [ scene_break ] a.j . : here , you should eat something . come on . if you do n't want the sandwich , at least eat the candy bar . michael : i told you i 'm not hungry . a.j . : all right . you know , you sounded like you -- like you were having a bad dream . michael : i do n't remember . a.j . : well , sometimes that 's a good thing . we 're going to need shelter soon . and , you know , maybe tomorrow we should figure out a way to signal for help -- write an s.o.s . on the beach with rocks or something . i do n't want you to worry , michael . i 'm going to take care of you . michael : i can take care of myself . a.j . : suit yourself . [ airplane flies ] michael : i do n't believe it ! it 's my dad ! he 's come for us ! hey ! help , we 're over here ! help ! hey , we 're over here ! come on ! michael 's voice : over here , dad ! over here ! pass me the ball ! [ scene_break ] [ phone rings ] sonny : yeah . jason : reese dropped off a report of the kidnapping . you remember all the stuff you told about the organization ? sonny : is it coming back to bite me ? jason : just the opposite . this report does n't contain one thing even remotely incriminating . sonny : all right , thanks for letting me know . reese : hello , sonny . [ scene_break ] sam : so reese said she made sonny an offer . if he gets out of the business , flips a few people , then -- jason : the feds would cut him a deal -- sam : yeah . jason : put him in the witness protection program . it 's not going to happen . sonny 's not going to leave the business . and as long as he 's in , i 'm in , if that 's what you 're asking me . sam : no , no , no , i -- i think i knew that . but i did have to make a few choices of my own tonight . jason : why ? what happened ? sam : well , lucky figured out that sonny was going after luke , so he tried to get information out of me , and then skye showed up here wanting me to stop you . jason : what 'd you tell them ? sam : oh , come on . what do you think ? that i do n't interfere with your business . jason : good . sam : although , you have n't heard the part where you 'll probably be mad at me for . i went to carly to see if she could warn sonny that people were aware of what you were planning tonight , that you were in danger of being caught . jason : if this is your way of asking me if luke 's dead , he is n't . sam : well -- i mean , thanks for telling me . that 's not what i was asking . i was just -- you know , i wanted to fill you in on what went on while you were gone . i figured it was better than keeping any kind of secrets or anything . jason : yeah , no , that 's good . i do appreciate that . sam : jason -- there is something you can do for me , though , something i need to know . i mean , is there anything that i can do for you ? you 've been running on empty , whether you want to admit it or not . you have n't been eating or sleeping or -- jason : sam , i 'm -- sam : come on , come on . there must be something you need that i can give you . just ask , please . jason : you can be honest with me about something . sam : anything . jason : just tell me i 'm chasing a ghost , and michael 's really gone . [ scene_break ] courtney : hey . jax : hey . you 're back . courtney : well , you 're irresistible . i could n't stay away . how you feeling ? jax : i 'm fine . yeah . bobbie said the blood results were normal , so they just want to keep me overnight as extra caution . courtney : oh . jax : something wrong ? courtney : no , i just had images of you in a different kind of bed tonight , that 's all . jax : i 'd like to believe that , but from what little i remember right before i hit the deck , you were about to -- you were about to tell me something . courtney : was i ? jax : yeah . courtney : hmm . well , it must not have been very important because i do n't remember it now . hey , all that matters is that you 're ok and that you stay that way . i 'm going to have to take extra - special care of you now . jax : i could n't agree more . you can start with this right here . courtney : oh , yeah ? jax : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] rachel : so all i have to do is help you fake your own death , and then set courtney up to take the fall ? well , what are you going to do in the meantime ? a.j . : you 're not the only one with scores to settle . you have steven , who you 'd like to wipe off the face of the earth , and i have -- well , lots of people . but my priority is to get back something that was stolen from me , no matter what i have to do . [ phone rings ] a.j . 's voice : hi , it 's a.j . leave a message and i 'll get back to you . [ answering machine beeps ] [ scene_break ] a.j . : for a minute there , i thought you were going to prove me wrong . michael : you are wrong . a.j . : yeah , we 'll see . in the meantime , we are stuck . so why do n't we try to get along ? what do you say ? michael : i 'm never going to trust you . [ a.j . chuckles ] a.j . : of course not . all you know about me , michael , is what your mom and sonny have told you . you know what i 'm counting on ? that once we spend a little time together , you will form an opinion of your own . well , i found these blankets , ok ? i think it 's time we get a little sleep , do n't you ? what are you doing ? you sure you want to do that , huh ? michael : i 'll be fine . a.j . : it 's cold . michael : i 'll be fine . a.j . : suit yourself . [ scene_break ] sonny : you gave jason your file on the kidnappings ? reese : yeah , i thought it might help with -- with closure . sonny : oh . well , yeah . but what we both find interesting is what you did n't include -- i mean , my associates in the caribbean , what happens to my money . i gave you a gold mine of incriminating information when we were looking for my children , and what you handed over to them makes me look like a model citizen . why ? reese : what we discussed was n't relevant to the case . i thought , why include it ? sonny : case closed . why are n't you using the information against me now ? [ scene_break ] skye : i hope you packed more than bar towels this time . luke : oh , i got all the essentials here -- weapons , booze , change of underwear . skye : where will you start looking ? luke : it 'll be simple -- i 'll just follow the shedding scales . i 'll find helena . i always do . i do n't suppose there 's any reason for me to expect you to be here when i get back ? skye : no , i suppose there is n't . but i 'll keep an eye on the place while you 're gone . luke : take good care of yourself , blaze . [ scene_break ] courtney : there . all my foundation business is taken care of . jax : have you come to say good night ? courtney : hmm . saying `` good night `` would imply that i 'm leaving . [ courtney giggles ] jax : well . have you ever considered a second career in medicine ? this is very healing . courtney : the only person i care about being healthy is you . jax : hmm . that 's nice . courtney : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] jason : just tell me to stop chasing after michael 's body like it 's going to solve something or heal something or -- sam : or bring him back ? jason , i know i said that i wanted to give you something you need , but i can not tell you to stop looking for michael , because you are following your instincts . if something inside you is telling you to keep on pursuing this , then that 's what you need to do . ok ? and i -- i -- i have to be the only one who knows , you know ? you do n't have to tell anyone about this , and i love you , and i will be by you every step of the way , and i will help you in any way that you let me . we 're in this together , ok ? [ scene_break ] reese : this is the second case that i 've headed up that 's resulted in the death of a child . sonny : you told me . reese : the point is i showed you vulnerable sides of me , you showed me vulnerable sides of you . maybe this makes us even . sonny : bull , bull . you do n't know me . i 'm not your friend . you 're a federal agent . it 's your job to come after me . what the hell kind of game you think you 're playing here ? reese : that seems to be the burning question of the day .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal finds maximista and the original blonde one 's abode a most comfortable hideout . maxie : except it puts you in close proximity with lulu . spinelli : is maximista suggesting that the original blonde one can not be trusted ? maxie : no , it 's not lulu that i 'm worried about . spinelli , you have to swear to me that you 're not going to tell lulu anything that i told you . spinelli : you no doubt are referring to the close encounter of the unthinkable kind with fair lulu 's faithless boyfriend ? maxie : yes . and that 's all it was , a close encounter . because even though johnny and i almost had sex , we decided that it was n't a good idea . and i would not have even mentioned it , but i thought you were going to leave the country . spinelli : maximista was concerned that she would give into a lamentable impulse to know john zacchara in the biblical sense if i were not there to prevent her . maxie : but now you are not leaving , and johnny and i are definitely not going to hook up with each other , so the less you think about it , the better . in fact , you should not think about it at all . because if you slip up and say something to lulu , it 's only going to hurt her . i have to go . lulu : was that winnifred on the phone ? spinelli : uh , maximista . lulu : oh , did she tell you about her latest adventure with johnny ? spinelli : i 'm afraid you 're going to have to be more specific . lulu : kate has asked them to go on another date together . spinelli : what ? lulu : yeah . spinelli : no , what if maximista ca n't help herself ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i can see you are perfectly over this rebecca fixation . if you 'd like to go somewhere else to conduct business -- nikolas : no , no , it 's -- look , it 's not as much of a shock anymore , okay ? i 'm getting quite used to seeing a woman walking around with emily 's face . alexis : okay , because that 's kind of funny because i thought i saw your eyeballs pop out of your head the minute you walked in here , but -- nikolas : i 'm adjusting fine . alexis : so you want to tell me again that you 're not obsessed with rebecca ? nikolas : it just -- it takes a little getting used to . i 'm better than i was . give me a break . rebecca : hey . sorry you had to wait . alexis : no -- no , apology . we have plenty to talk about . rebecca : nice to see you , nikolas . i was starting to think that you were avoiding this place because of me . nikolas : no , no , no , no . i was actually just telling my aunt here how much i 've enjoyed coming here since you reopened . ca n't get enough of mike 's four- alarm chili , you know . actually , i 'll have that and some more coffee , please . alexis : i 'll have the chicken caesar salad . rebecca : okay , coming right up . alexis : okay , here 's what i think . i think you should take a vacation . i think maybe a business trip . how about a little therapy -- not that i 'm one to talk . in any case , this is not working out well for you . nikolas : what do you -- what do you expect from me ? she walked over here , i spoke to her . i was polite . i have absolutely no problem with her . rebecca : hey , lucky . lucky : how are you ? rebecca : hey , are you as worn out after last night as i am ? lucky : yeah . [ rebecca and lucky laugh ] [ scene_break ] kate : maxie , since you know how i feel about the calls rolling to voice mail , i trust that you have some compelling reason why you 're not answering the phone . so whenever you are finished doing whatever it is that is so much more important than your job , i need you to confirm my 3 : 00 with jax in the office . carly : ooh , sorry , kate , but jax is not going to be able to make it . he 's got plans . kate : okay , well , i 'll believe it when i hear it from him . carly : suit yourself , but my husband definitely has plans . we 're going to renew our vows this afternoon . kate : really ? carly : mm - hmm . kate : that 's unexpected . carly : not really . we 're together and we 're committed to staying that way . kate : okay . i just , uh -- you should know i 'm not really interested in stealing your man , carly . in fact , i 've actually had quite the life - altering experience at sonny 's . i was having this fight with claudia and i was swearing vengeance -- and i could get it , too . i could . i could trash claudia and i could hurt sonny , but it just hit me . what the hell am i doing ? carly : sounds like you 're being true to form to me . kate : i just -- i just do n't want to be that woman , carly . i do n't actually thrive on turmoil and drama like you and claudia , so -- carly : okay , out of everything you just said , the only thing i find remotely interesting is that you had a fight with claudia . so what dirt do you have on claudia ? [ scene_break ] johnny : why would lulu be upset and who were you talking to about it ? maxie : it was spinelli . and you know how he gets paranoid . he 's cooped up in our apartment hiding from the fbi . his imagination is running wild . he just gets jealous . johnny : there 's nothing to be jealous of . maxie : that 's what i was saying . he 's upset we 're going on another date . johnny : you know i do n't want to do this . maxie : johnny , we have front row seats to the maha chang fashion show . you 're going to love it . johnny : i doubt it . maxie : well , it 's too bad , because the press will be all over it and we need to be seen . come on , we 're going to have sienna on one side and scarlett on the other . johnny : wait , life is too short to waste it for a few hours in some fashion show . maxie : just admit that you do n't want to go because you 're having an extremely hard time keeping your hands off me . [ scene_break ] lulu : what do you mean , `` if maxie ca n't help herself `` ? spinelli , what are you not telling me ? spinelli : some things are better left in pandora 's box . lulu : try me . spinelli : well , maximista , in her deep desire to protect the jackal , may enlist the help of the mob prince , which would then potentially , you know , tempt him to return to his criminal roots . lulu : if he does that , what does that have to do with them going on a date ? spinelli : well , prolonged confinement in the back of a limo might give rise to unforeseen calamity . lulu : okay , okay . we just have to remember this is for promotional purposes only , right ? johnny is doing this for the money . maxie is doing it because her ego is the size of chicago . you know , maxie loves the clothes . she loves the exposure . johnny would rather have a root canal . and they 're going to be so glad when it 's over , right ? spinelli : all of us can only hope that we survive the machinations of the glacial one . [ knock at door ] lulu : do you know who that is ? spinelli : it 's the priestess . winnifred : agent winnifred leeds reporting , newly promoted and highly cleared . oh , but the jackal seems in a fine fettle . i bring you gifts , just to provide some small comfort in your fugitive state . lulu : oh , goody . we were about to run out of chips . spinelli : like ambrosia to the jackal . you are gracious and generous . winnifred : thank you . we need to discuss a strategy to attain freedom for the jackal . perhaps some privacy could be arranged ? lulu : perhaps not . [ scene_break ] rayner : i 'm surprised you 've made it so easy , mr. morgan . could it be that your only priority is to save sonny corinthos , even if it means damien spinelli goes to jail ? agent : no sign of the fugitive . jason : i guess we 're done here . rayner : where is spinelli ? sam : i do n't know . he took off . rayner : ms. mccall , i understand you 've applied for a p.i . license . sam : yeah , what does that have to do with anything ? rayner : did you know that the fbi can delay the processing of licenses ? they can review your paperwork for months , years . sam : is that a threat ? rayner : part of my job in the interest of national security is to see to it that the wrong people do n't get credentials , licenses . sam : yeah , well , you know , i actually have somewhere to be , so if you 're done with me -- rayner : you 're free to go . sam : thanks . rayner : for now . if you remember anything , let me know . jason : it 's not her fault spinelli 's gone . rayner : that 's a good point . griffin ? tom rayner . put out that apb on damien spinelli immediately and make certain he 's listed as armed and dangerous . jason : spinelli does n't even have a gun . the kid 's not dangerous to anybody and you 're going to have your men shoot him on sight ? rayner : you know how to keep that from happening . let us take him safely into custody . jason : we both know it 's not spinelli you want . he 's all you 've got to get me to flip on sonny . rayner : if you cooperate , i 'll rescind the order and spinelli will be out of danger . so who are you going to save , mr. morgan ? [ scene_break ] winnifred : this is classified . the sparrow flies at midnight . spinelli : oh , the canary -- canary islands serve as the destination ? winnifred : the hawk is in the nest . spinelli : oh , and the sparrow lies down with the hawk . winnifred : did the jackal just ask me to have sexual relations with agent rayner ? spinelli : did i ? lulu : why are you guys talking in a code that you ca n't even pretend to understand ? winnifred : because our situation calls for covert tactics . lulu : you mean the situation where you 've just gotten promoted and your higher clearance level is going to allow you to get the evidence the fbi has against spinelli ? winnifred : you told her ? spinelli : i trust the original blonde one with my life . winnifred : yeah , but the more people who know , the bigger threat to you . lulu : hey , i 'm totally on board with this . you are putting yourself on the line for my friend , and i 'm so grateful for that , okay ? i 'll go so that you do n't have to talk in this bogus code anymore . i would n't want you to mess up your mission because you mixed up a partridge or a pear tree . [ winnifred laughs ] spinelli : i can never express my actual -- my full gratitude for the risks that you 're taking on my behalf . i do n't think i could ever truly repay you . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 've talked to jax ad nauseum about this transaction . and you know what i would really love ? if we could all just get over the hostility and just find a way to do this in a nice , amicable way . what do you think ? nikolas : yeah , sure . i see . i see it . alexis : no , you do n't . rebecca : that was a great club . i mean , i loved the second band on the bill . they were so eclectic . lucky : oh , yeah . you know what ? i love just hearing different styles of music . rebecca : yeah , that 's so cool . lucky : yeah . you know , my dad , he actually owned a club when i was a kid , downtown . rebecca : he let you hang out there ? lucky : oh , he encouraged it . he said it would broaden my horizons . and sometimes i 'd actually find myself hiding under the bar when cops showed up . rebecca : did the cops show up a lot ? lucky : well , sonny corinthos , he lived in the upstairs apartment . and my dad , he had his own troubles , so there was always plenty of action . rebecca : oh , wow . sounds sort of fun . lucky : yeah . you know , b.b . king actually played there once . rebecca : it 's very cool that you and your brother grew up there . lucky : that was before i knew i had a brother . yeah , nikolas , he came by a couple of times , but it did n't go over so well . alexis : i will find some way for you to preserve spoon island . nikolas : oh , i 'm sure you will . alexis : you 're not even listening to anything i 'm saying , are you ? nikolas : yes , i am . you want to try diplomacy with jax because you do n't want to lose him as a friend . and if he wo n't listen to reason , you 'll file an injunction , even if it 's just to bide time . see , i told you . [ rebecca laughs ] lucky : no , seriously . alexis : now you 're scaring me . [ scene_break ] kate : well , you know claudia , right ? all the dysfunction and the anger , it 's toxic . like -- like you and me , carly . like how you still blame me for taking michael to the warehouse the night he was shot . i understand . i understand you need someone to blame , but you picked the wrong target . carly : you did take michael to the warehouse without my permission . kate : yes , carly , i took michael to his father . but to blame me for the shooting makes as much sense as me blaming you for not taking michael to counseling when he shot me , for not taking him to the authorities so that he knows his actions have consequences , or for raising michael in an environment that enables bad behavior . you know , it does n't -- it does n't matter . the point is i 'm done with it all . so congratulations to you and jax if your marriage is really back on track . carly : it is . kate : have a good life , carly . carly : we will . kate : you know , carly , jax -- he 's a good man . and i really do hope for his sake that you can drag yourself out of the past . but knowing your compulsive attachment to sonny , i doubt it .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i was glad when you called . i was just sitting at kelly 's watching nikolas pretend not to be obsessed with rebecca . sam : oh , yeah , it 's weird . it 's very unsettling seeing someone who looks so much like emily . alexis : what 's more unsettling is watching nikolas pretend that he 's not obsessed with her . sam : yeah , okay , i 'm sorry to drag you away from that by the way , and i do n't want to impose right now -- alexis : hey , hey , i 'm your mother . it makes me happy to be able to help you . sam : okay , agent rayner -- he has threatened to submarine my application for a p.i . license . alexis : oh . what does the fbi want , anyway ? is this about jason ? sam : no , uh - uh , not this time . no , it 's about spinelli . they issued an apb for his arrest saying he 's armed and dangerous . but that 's the furthest thing from the truth , because -- alexis : all right , i 'll check into it . sam : he would n't hurt a fly . listen , i do n't want you to take the fbi on for me . alexis : i do n't think they 're treating you fairly . sam : i just -- i do n't want you to make trouble for yourself because of me . alexis : i 'm your mother . nobody messes with my daughter .

'cause you two could n't get enough of each other . nikolas : okay , i realize that you 're still furious with me , but like i said before , what 's done is done . lulu : that 's an interesting choice of words there . nikolas : i 'm just trying to do the right thing here . if the baby ends up to be mine , i just want to provide for it , give it a good life . lulu : like spencer ? who sees more of your nanny than you ? honestly , nikolas , this baby is an excuse for you to latch on to elizabeth . why , after all the pain that 's been caused ? was the sex really that good ? nikolas : i have feelings for her . it 's not just about the sex . i 'm in love with her . lulu : that 's what makes me feel so sorry for you , nikolas . because elizabeth only loves herself . nikolas : you know , i really wish you could find a way to make peace with her . really . lulu : really ? you think that she would listen to me at this point ? after i publicly outed her for the liar that she is . nikolas : this was clearly a mistake . lulu : yes , it was a mistake , nikolas . it was such a big mistake because i am still very , very pissed . and it 's not just because you betrayed lucky , it 's because you ca n't see the fact that elizabeth is a liar . she manipulated you . she is still manipulating you . nikolas : you 're wrong . lulu : listen to yourself . you 're talking about her like she 's the love of your life . all you guys did was lie and sneak around behind lucky 's back sleeping together . i do n't think you love her . i think you 're trying to make yourself love her so you can justify this whole mess . [ scene_break ] tracy : well , does n't that speak volumes about law enforcement in port charles if the only way you can keep him safe from sonny corinthos is by keeping him locked up . lucky : unfortunately , that 's the reality of the situation . kristina was beaten brutally , and she id 'd ethan as the attacker . ethan : which is completely absurd . lucky : i 'm not saying it is n't , but a room full of people at the haunted star saw you arguing with her earlier that night . they also saw you grab her arm hard enough to leave a pretty nasty bruise . ethan : okay , that 's a completely separate issue . it does n't prove anything . lucky : you 're right , it does n't . but i have to be honest , if i saw my child beaten as badly as kristina was , i do n't think i 'd have a very rational response . i 'd want to see the guy pay , maybe even want him dead . and sonny has the capacity and the resources to make that happen . now , i 'm offering you police protection , ethan . ethan : thanks , but i 'll pass . if my own brother does n't even believe me , i 'm no safer here . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm sorry about kristina . i really am . alexis : did you hear what i said ? jason : i do n't think that we should talk about this , alexis . you 're upset . alexis : upset does n't even begin to describe how i 'm feeling right now . my daughter 's in the hospital and i barely recognize her . i want ethan to pay for what he did every bit as much as sonny does , but if ethan dies , kristina will blame herself even more than she already does . i 'm warning you , jason , you kill ethan , my daughter is not gon na recover . [ scene_break ] kristina : do we have to talk to the police ? i just want this whole thing to be over . i do n't want to think about it anymore . sam : i know , baby . i 've been where you are , okay . and i know you 're probably feeling really guilty and ashamed right now , like you 're the one to blame even though you 're lying here in a hospital bed . it 's really weird how that works . but it 's wrong . i can tell you from my own experience that this is not your fault . and you really , really need to know that , okay ? and i can also tell you you are gon na get better . and you 're gon na come out of this a lot stronger than you were before . kristina : do you think my face will be like it was before ? [ sam chuckles ] sam : yeah . of course it will . these are just bruises . and they 're gon na heal up in time . you just got to give it time . but you are still beautiful , so do n't you worry about that . kristina : i do n't want anyone to see me right now , not like this . sam : okay . you do n't have to worry about that . i 'm gon na make sure the only people that get in here are the people who really need to talk to you . but you do have to understand that the police are gon na come in here and they are gon na ask you a lot of questions about what happened with ethan , and you have to be honest with them . the most important thing to remember is you can not , i beg you , you can not protect your attacker . ethan has to pay the consequences for what he did to you . this is his fault , not yours . kristina : okay . i think ... i think i 'm getting kind of tired now . sam : okay . well , then i guess you need to get a little bit of rest . i 'm just gon na go and do something . is that cool ? kristina : that 's cool . sam : okay . kristina : thanks , sam , for everything . sam : you 're welcome . i love you . kristina : i love you , too . sam : close your eyes . get some sleep . kiefer : hi , k .

[ scene_break ] jordan : duke did imply that he has sonny 's blessings , but he made it very clear that he 's in charge . duke is the one giving the orders to kill julian . anna : oh . i do n't know why i 'm surprised . he 's hated julian for decades . this is a perfect opportunity to get rid of him and test you at the same time . jordan : i 'm sorry , anna . anna : no , i 'm sorry . i should have pulled you before when you told me that you were compromised . nathan , you were right . i 'm just sorry i did n't see it sooner . jordan : see what ? anna : nathan helped me realize that i was being reckless keeping you undercover when you felt that you 'd been made . nathan : oh , no , but in all fairness , there was no way for you to know for sure that -- anna : well , i certainly know now , do n't i ? nathan : [ sighs ] anna : we were about to get you out , get you somewhere safe . what i should have done before , but we can do it now . nathan : better late than never . anna : yeah , okay . so , we 're gon na get you to a safehouse , all right ? and then you 'll have to lie low for a while until we can get sonny and some of his men off the streets . it 's better than the alternative . jordan : [ scoffs ] what about my son ? i 'm not just gon na up and vanish . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na leave thomas . is that the best idea you 've got ? there has to be another way . nathan : i think i know what we can do .

[ scene_break ] kiki : michael was actually defending sabrina as though there was nothing wrong with handing over our little sister to the woman who tried to kill her . morgan : this is ... this is just -- it 's crazy . mikey 's obviously out of control , so -- kiki : yeah . i mean , he really meant what he said that morning here . he 's not gon na let any of us see her . if he gets his way , we 're never gon na be with our baby sister again . morgan : okay , well , you know what ? my dad 's appealing the ruling , so maybe he 'll win this time , and everything will be fine . kiki : how is he gon na win ? i mean , how is anyone ? even if my uncle julian gets involved , what difference is it gon na make ? michael has the judge on his side . we are never gon na get that custody ruling overturned . we 're screwed . and even worse , so is avery . all because michael played dirty . morgan : maybe -- wait , hey , maybe that 's it . kiki : what ? morgan : well , michael played dirty . so we 're gon na play dirty , too . [ scene_break ] nathan : look , i know i was the one urging you to get jordan out , but she 's right . it 's too late now . anna : yes , but we do n't have the evidence against duke or sonny or anyone else in their circle to arrest them . and while they 're free , she 's a target . nathan : we might be able to get something on lavery , something definitive , something that could take him out of the game almost immediately . anna : oh , i know where you 're going with this . no , no , no . we ca n't do that . nathan : yes , we can . anna : the risk is too great . nathan : no , we can . we can outfit you with a wire . you go back to duke -- jordan : and i get him to repeat his order to take out julian . nathan : exactly . see ? so , we have lavery on tape ordering a hit , and we can arrest him . what do you think ? [ scene_break ] duke : giving sonny a false alibi is hardly comparable to stealing the man 's daughter from him . michael : you know , ask sonny about the time i was shot in the head . then maybe he can tell you about how my sister would be safe in his home . you know , not that your opinion matters . the judge already made his decision . lucy : hi ... ho . [ chuckles ] hello . duke : hi . duke : um , i am so sorry . uh , i 'm so very sorry i am late . i ran into sabrina , we started chatting , and it was so fun , and ... hello , michael . michael : hi . i 'd say nice to see you , but since you 're here meeting duke , [ baby fusses ] michael : i ca n't . come on , sabrina . i need a drink . lucy : oh . uh , bye ? [ chuckles ] wow . um ... so , that was uncomfortable . duke : it was . lucy : okay . why do n't you tell me what happened ? i hope you did not mention that michael stole sonny 's daughter from him . duke : remind me never to take the high road with michael corinthos ever again . lucy : i guess that would be quartermaine . [ scene_break ] sabrina : michael , what was that ? michael : i got into it with duke about sonny , which is ludicrous considering that duke 's first job he got when he got back to port charles was at elq . my father gave him a job when no one else would . and how does -- how does duke repay him ? by giving sonny an alibi for his murder . sabrina : look , i know that little aj is just a baby , but you should probably , you know -- michael : let 's not say that word again . come here , aj . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , aj . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to you , too . i 'm just ... [ sighs ] it drives me crazy when anyone defends that son of a ... hey , look , could we get some service over here , please ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kiki : i like the way you 're thinking , but how are we gon na play dirty ? i mean , we do n't exactly have access to a corrupt judge . morgan : that 's the thing . we need to find a way around judge walters , right ? look , michael 's argument in court was that my dad was an unfit parent , that -- that he was a danger to avery . kiki : and ? morgan : what we need to do is we need to make michael seem like the worst parent since mama june . that 's how we beat him at his own game . we go around the damn judge , over his head . kiki : okay . how ? morgan : by getting michael reported to child services because that way , judge walters , h - h - he 's gon na be forced to reconsider his ruling . there 's no way he 's gon na ignore a government agency that exists solely to protect children . i mean , he would get in trouble if he did that . kiki : that might actually work . now we just have to think of a way to get michael on child services ' radar . do you have any ideas , einstein ? [ scene_break ] carlos : when i first got out of pentonville , i confronted carly . julian : [ chuckles ] well , that was n't the wisest move . carlos : yeah , well , i could n't help myself . she knew sonny killed aj quartermaine , and she let me do hard time . if the truth had n't come out , i could have died in that hellhole . so , yeah , i saw her . i went after her . i confronted her . jake loses it on me . he slams my head into a table . it was a cheap shot . he was out of control . julian : i do n't mind that kind of quality on my crew . could come in handy . i 'll be able to keep him in check . carlos : no , man . no ! he ca n't be trusted . you got to call it off with jake . [ knock on door ] julian : yeah ? guard : mr. jerome , there 's someone here to see you . julian : all right . send them in . [ scene_break ] carly : we talked about my friendship with jake , and you seemed okay with it . now i run into ric at the metro court , and he tells me that you 're not . i 'm thinking ric 's trying to cause problems between us . sonny : okay , when you told me about your friendship with this , uh , jake guy , he was on his way to prison , then he was having surgery . i did n't want to fight with you , so i said it was okay . carly : [ scoffs ] sonny : but now he 's working with julian , m - my enemy , and you seem okay with that . carly : h - he needed a job , and sam put in a good word . sonny , i did n't think it was a big deal . sonny : just because i 'm out of the business for now , eventually , if jake is with julian , we 're gon na be on opposite sides . i just want to know which side you 're on . carly : oh , really ? sonny : no , no . hey , you know what ? how am i supposed to take this `` i come in peace `` act ? if he wanted peace , he would n't have taken a job with julian . carly : he did n't have a choice ! [ scene_break ] kiki : michael might as well be living in downton abbey with all of the servants and money he has at his disposal . even if he changes his mind about sabrina , it 's not gon na change -- morgan : well , and it 's only if he admits that he 's wrong about her . you know that 's not gon na happen , so ... kiki : well , what i 'm trying to say is that with all of the support , it 's gon na be really hard to claim that michael ca n't take care of avery . morgan : look , michael made my dad look bad by painting him as a criminal . kiki : but that was n't that much of a stretch . i mean , if you think about it , that was based on truth . michael , he went to prison for manslaughter . [ scoffs ] but , you know , even that came out at the hearing . morgan : no , it did n't matter , but you know what ? there 's other -- there 's other reasons why kids get taken away from their parents . kiki : like , um , they 're abused or neglected or if their parents are doing crack . morgan : that 's it . kiki : what is ? morgan : michael -- michael does n't do drugs . he does n't do drugs , but he does something a lot closer to home . kiki : what is it ? morgan : alcohol . [ scene_break ] michael : thanks for meeting me . sabrina : yeah , no . i - i got your text . so , you need me to take over with little aj tonight ? michael : yeah , um , i know that we agreed that you were gon na start tomorrow , but , um , i was out when i got the call about the clinic . sabrina : oh , really ? so , any progress ? michael : i 'm not sure . the house on elm street is still off - limits because of the police investigation . but , uh , yeah , a developer called me about a possible new location . he wants to meet me , but he 's going out of town tomorrow , so he 'd need to meet me tonight . oh . i was hoping it was n't pulling you away from anything . sabrina : not really . michael : that did n't sound too convincing . sabrina : i ran into carlos , and we were having a tense conversation . [ scene_break ] jake : mr. jerome , sam said she spoke to you about me . i wanted to introduce myself and say thank you for taking a chance on me . julian : you know , sam can be very persuasive . jake : yeah . well , it was generous for her to go to bat for me . julian : i would have to agree , since you used my daughter as a human shield . jake : well , i regret that happened , but i was n't , uh , in control of my actions at the time . julian : sam said she forgives you . so , when she asked me for a job , i agreed . but carlos rivera here is my right - hand guy , and he says you have a problem with him . jake : no . no , i do n't have a problem with him . i have a problem with how he handled himself at the metro court . julian : really ? carly is one of the reasons that , uh , carlos was wrongly sent to prison . jake : well , see , buddy , you manhandled a friend of mine , a woman at that , and it just , you know , it just did n't sit well with me . [ scene_break ] sonny : what i want to know is how can jake be forced to work for jerome . carly : [ sighs ] jake : apparently , julian jerome has ventured back into the life of organized crime , and sloane wants me there on the ground floor . carly : absolutely not . jake : i do n't have a lot of choices here . carly : look , in the short period of time that jake has been in port charles , he has committed some serious crimes . sonny : and you 're one who thinks that he ca n't help himself , right ? carly : yes , he is innocent , but that 's not the point . who besides julian is gon na trust him ? sonny : he can work anywhere . carly : really ? he -- he -- sonny : jerome is n't the only game in time . carly : yeah ? you 're gon na hire him ? sonny : no . hell , no . no . hell , no . carly : of course not . sonny , it 's either your organization or julian 's , okay ? sonny : uh - huh . carly : a - and between his reputation and lack of social security number , he ca n't get a normal job . sonny : so , he 's gon na be a foot soldier for julian jerome . carly : jake is not gon na be working against you , okay ? when sam went to bat for him with her father , she said she 'd make sure that julian puts jake in his legal businesses . sonny : we 'll see how long that lasts . [ scene_break ] jake : carly tried to walk away , but you would n't let her go . you were upset . you stopped her , you put your hands on her , and all i did was stop you . okay ? i was looking out for a friend . you know that . carlos : yeah . yeah , not just any friend , either , huh ? carly corinthos jacks . just like the name implies . she 's sonny 's ex - wife , his current girlfriend . she is a direct pipeline to sonny . if this guy 's so tight with her , how do we know he 's not a spy sent from sonny ? [ scene_break ] lucy : hey , on a much happier note , i 'm so excited . i have actually booked my first act for the nurses ' ball . sabrina . duke : excellent . that 's very brave and very generous of you to take the nurses ' ball on again . lucy : yeah . well , um , i have to admit , i 've had a little bit of trouble rallying to the cause , but ... [ sighs ] well , you know , it 's just after what happened last year with my marriage to kevin imploding ... i guess i 'll never forget the look on his face when that curtain went up and he saw me kissing scott . duke : yeah . i know i think about it . anna and i , we were at our happiest at that time , too . lucy : well , it is a shame that your association with sonny drove anna away . duke : [ chuckles ] i do n't think my work drove anna away . i think i did that . [ scene_break ] nathan : by wiring up jordan , we could nab lavery , who we now know is functioning as the head of sonny 's crew . jordan : duke 's steering the ship right now , anna . putting him away would definitely weaken the organization . nathan : and it would eliminate the risk to jordan . anna : but i wanted to do more . i wanted to take down sonny 's whole enterprise . you know , with this plan , we just get one man . a powerful one , but ... you know , it 's just -- nathan : we have to take care of jordan . anna : of course . i know . i know . nathan : [ sighs ] anna , an hour ago , you were desperate to crush duke . and now we have the means to do that . you 're telling me now you ca n't go through with it ? [ scene_break ] duke : lucy , you 've been good to me , and you 've been good for me . lucy : well , wow . not a lot of men say that to me . [ chuckles ] duke : you 've helped me pick up the pieces of my life without judging me . really , you procured for me a very good attorney when i was arrested for providing sonny with a false alibi . lucy : and you helped me dispose of the ... ballot box ... ballot box . ... that i accidentally stole . so , yes , we have been [ chuckles ] very good for each other . so , maybe now we just need to take a little step back and look at [ sighs ] us . i mean , i know that we came together on the rebound . i mean , i 'm certainly still on the rebound from kevin and from scott . but ... but you , you have brought me this -- this light in all this horrible darkness . duke : and you have helped me through a very hard time . lucy : i care a great deal about you . but look , i - i - i 'm -- i know that you are kind of carrying a torch still for anna . and i am still carrying -- or i would be still carrying i guess two torches for kevin and scott ... duke : [ chuckles ] lucy : ... if i thought there was any hope at all . look , what i 'm trying to say is , is if you think that you and anna could work things out , if you think there 's a chance you could get back together , then i promise i - i will just bow out gracefully so you could work it out with anna . [ scene_break ] anna : you know , i - i 'm not hedging . jordan : it 's okay if you 're reluctant . if we were talking about busting shawn instead of duke , i would have second thoughts , too . but you and i went into this with our eyes open . we knew that we had to make hard choices . we knew that we were going after men that we love , men that we share a whole lot of history with . but we also knew that we had to do the right thing . nathan : anna , this is your decision . i ca n't take this to the commissioner . i do n't trust him . sloane 's obviously in somebody 's pocket . who knows ? maybe sonny 's . but you 're a fed . you could authorize a wire for jordan . jordan : i 'm ready to do it . it 's up to you , anna . what 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm sure my daughter considered the possible conflict before asking me to hire jake . uh , sam understands our business . i do n't think she would put me in jeopardy like that . but you are right , carlos . you 're tight with carly . so , what about corinthos ? i do n't want to , but if i have to disappoint sam , i will put an end to this right now before we even get started . jake : i - i understand . i understand . and carly 's great . she 's a friend . she 's gone the distance for me . i only met sonny for the first today , and that man already hates me , and i 'm telling you , the feeling is getting rapidly mutual . i would n't lift my finger to help that man . i promise you that . [ scene_break ] carly : you know i would never betray you . sonny : yeah , i know . you 're always on my side . carly : i am always on your side . always . talk to me . tell me about your appeal for custody of avery . what 's going on ? sonny : ric 's doing the paperwork to get the decision reversed . and he 's filed a formal complaint against walters because he says that , you know , he has a personal connection to the case . carly : well , when everyone finds out that he 's dating monica , they 're gon na see the conflict of interest and they 're gon na give you your daughter back . sonny : yeah , i do n't know how long it 's gon na take to get that complaint , you know , uh , reviewed . plus , i 'm not a favorite at the courthouse . and , you know , no one 's gon na be fast - tracking my appeal . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : i just wish there was something else i could do , you know ? carly : like what ? sonny : well , my first thought was that i , you know ... [ sighs ] morgan take avery to puerto rico ... carly : sonny . sonny : ... so she can be out of michael 's reach , but , you know , morgan was absolutely right . if they had done that , they 'd have been in so much trouble with the law . carly : oh ! sonny : i mean , i -- what was i thinking ? carly : i know . well , emotions were running high after the judge made his decision . we all could have handled things differently . sonny : well , i 'm so glad that kiki talked morgan into coming back , because i would have felt terrible , you know , bringing them down . kiki and morgan have to stay out of it . [ scene_break ] kiki : michael does n't really drink that much , though . i mean , we would have a glass of wine with dinner , maybe a few drinks at a party , but , you know , nothing that over - the - top . except he must have been blind drunk the night that he slept with rosalie , you know ? that is the only way he would have taken her to bed . morgan : okay , hey , kiki , it does n't really matter how much he does drink or does n't drink . drinking is in michael 's blood . alcoholism is a quartermaine curse . [ scene_break ] michael : so , how are you enjoying your first trip to the metro court , aj ? probably not so much . you know , i 'm glad you 're too little to understand this , but the worst is over . it 's only gon na get better , right ? you 're with me now , and sabrina 's your nanny . sabrina : yeah , starting a little sooner than i thought . michael : hey , look , i 'm sorry for dragging you away from carlos . [ sighs ] sonny and carly really did a number on him , letting him take the fall for my father 's murder . i mean , he could have spent his entire life in pentonville , and i know how horrible that place is . how 's he doing now ? sabrina : well , he 's been charged with shooting ava jerome . he 's out on bail at the moment . but , um , a - a - and i have n't seen him very much except -- michael : what ? sabrina : it was a little strange . he was lurking outside kelly 's . and when i asked him what he was doing there , he said that he was reluctant to go in because some of sonny 's people were inside . michael : yeah . uh , shawn does run the place . sabrina : yeah . carlos claimed that he 's trying to stay out of trouble until his trial . but i do n't think he 's trying very hard . and i know for a fact that he 's working for julian jerome again . michael : yeah . [ chuckles lightly ] hypocrisy never ends when it comes to those thugs . [ scene_break ] morgan : everyone knows that michael 's biological father is a bona fide alcoholic and aj 's dad had a really bad pill problem at one point . so , it 's -- substance - abuse addiction is just passed down from one generation to the next . kiki : right , and was n't monica a recovered alcoholic ? morgan : yes . yes . that 's amazing . that 's a bonus . that means that michael has three full - fledged addicts hanging on his family tree . so , you know what ? mikey wants to be a quartermaine , he wants to change his name legally and stuff -- that 's fine . he 's gon na be a quartermaine in every way . [ scene_break ] carly : we 're in this together . we are . a - and i 'm gon na do whatever i can to help you get your daughter back home where she belongs . sonny : i just do n't know how to do that . carly : you 'll think of something . and i 'll support you , whatever you do . i 'm with you for the long haul . no matter what happens . i love you . you know that . i love you . sonny : [ sighs ] i know you do . [ scene_break ] jake : sonny 's the last person i 'd work for . he 's arrogant . he 's got a short fuse . that makes him careless . i - if that 's what you want , i hope you burn his entire organization to the ground . julian : [ sighs ] i want jake working for us , because sam asked me to hire him . but i also think it works to our advantage to have somebody on our team who sonny hates and hates sonny back . it 's gon na work in our favor . it could end up rattling sonny , knocking him off - balance . carlos : i 'm still not buying it . julian : and i 'm still the boss . so i could care less if you trust him or not . welcome to the organization , jake . jake : thank you , sir . [ scene_break ] jordan : anna , duke wants to execute julian jerome . nathan : he 's ordering hits now . he 's in this for real . he 's not just keeping sonny 's seat warm . jordan : he is n't this wonderful man who you used to love . he 's turned into a ruthless mobster who will mow anyone down that gets in his way , including me . so , let me do this . give the okay for the wire , and let 's trap the son of a bitch . anna : all right . let 's do it . let 's bring duke down . [ scene_break ] lucy : if you want to get back with anna , then i - i - i understand . we can just simply return to the friend zone . no harm , no foul . duke : [ chuckles ] lucy : 'cause , hey , i -- i truly , truly want you to be happy . duke : only someone with a heart as big as yours would be generous enough to allow someone else 's love to flourish . you see , the thing is , between anna and i , things have gone so far , there is no going back . but for you and i , we can move forward . if that 's what you 'd like . [ scene_break ] michael : to you , sabrina . thank you for helping with little aj . [ scene_break ] kiki : it is a really good idea , claiming that michael 's a lush because his dad was one . but , you know , we do n't have a shred of proof that michael inherited the disease . morgan : kiki , so what ? we 'll make our own proof . [ scene_break ] sabrina : so , good luck with the developer . michael : thanks . yeah , i hope i 'll have a new location for my father 's clinic by the end of the night . sabrina : yeah , me , too . well , and if you want to be at the top of your game when the guy gets here , you might want to slow down on the drinking . [ scene_break ] morgan : by the time we finish with mikey , he 's gon na look like he parties so much that he 's too wasted to take care of our baby sister . we 're gon na make him look like a bigger drunk than his father . we 're gon na do this , kiki . i 'll make sure we do whatever we have to do to make sure michael loses avery . [ next_on ] spinelli : ( to sonny ) it 's maxie . i want her back . nathan : ( to maxie ) tell me if you feel the same way about me . nikolas : ( to emma ) you could n't have come at a more perfect time . cameron : ( to elizabeth ) i need a lawyer ! ric : ( to molly ) as long as jake is in the picture , i 'm out . jason : ( to carly ) maybe we should give sonny what he wants . | jordan tells anna that duke ordered her to kill julian . nathan says it is too late for jordan to go into witness protection now . nathan suggests that jordan go back to duke wearing a wire so they can arrest him . michael antagonizes duke about still answering to sonny and says sonny can stop hiding behind duke because he has already lost his daughter . duke says michael stole the child by bringing in a corrupt judge . michael blasts duke for keeping quiet about aj 's murder when aj was supposed to be his friend . lucy and sabrina interrupt them . lucy tells duke that she will step aside if he wants to try to work it out with anna . he says he ca n't go back to the way things were with anna , but he can move forward with lucy if she 'd like that . |
carly : oh ! ava : carly . carly : ava , this is a bad time . ava : oh , i -- i do n't want to impinge on the schedule of a dabbling hotelier . you off to write the specials on the menu board ? carly : i 'm off to take morgan a care package . ava : he 's in my thoughts . and do n't worry , you 'll be gone momentarily . i just need enough time to get my baby girl and go . [ scene_break ] jason : what 's the big deal ? they 're pictures . sam : no , no . it is a big deal . jason , these are yours . these were on the mantel of your penthouse for years . jason : uh ... are you sure ? sam : yes . i 'm sure . i would recognize these pictures anywhere . i thought they were gone , and they found their way back to you . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps approach ] dr. obrecht : some light reading ? or are you branching out into illustrations for children 's literature ? franco : hardly . this is helena cassadine 's work . dr. obrecht : ach du lieber . i would n't read a grocery list written by that woman , not without a priest 's blessing first . what are you doing with that ? franco : i 'm doing a favor for a friend , not to mention reminding myself that i do n't ever , ever , ever want to have children . [ scene_break ] maxie : i think someone 's sabotaging crimson . dillon : sabotage ? as in , like , actively trying to ruin crimson ? maxie : as in our first issue came out completely green and our second one arrived in pieces . what are the odds ? julian : odds of what ? nina : there 's a malevolent fashion - hating force out to destroy crimson . [ scene_break ] sonny : kristina , whatever it is that you 're keeping from your mother and me , it 's time to tell us now . kristina : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sonny : yes , you do , and now so do i . [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't know who originally bought these for you -- probably carly . but when i first moved into the penthouse , these were on your mantel , and they stayed there for years . jason : how 'd i lose track of them ? sam : i 'm not sure about that . well , we broke up and then -- oh , maxie -- she redecorated your place . jason : maxie -- maxie jones ? sam : yeah . jason : maxie jones . she was redecorating my place ? sam : yes . jason : why ? sam : well , her and spinelli , they were in love . spinelli lived with you . i do n't know if you remember that . anyway , maxie probably thought it needed a woman 's touch and she redecorated , not that you would 've argued with her , because you did n't care about any of that stuff . anyway , what i 'm trying to say is when i came back , these were gone . and i 'm glad that you found it again . jason : [ sighs ] what do you think that means ? [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : since when did you come to this conclusion ? franco : since forever . when did i ever give you the impression that i wanted to have kids ? dr. obrecht : i suppose i drew the conclusion based on observing you with your young patients . you have an uncommon affinity for children . franco : yeah . maybe other people 's fully formed children , perhaps . i do n't know . it 's hard to screw a kid up when you only see him once a week for an hour . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] everyone thinks they will ruin their children . only a few do . even then , children bounce back . just look at mine . franco : here 's what i know for sure . i 'm not fit to be a father . i just wish i could convince nina of the same fact . dr. obrecht : i see where this is leading . my niece is back on the baby track . franco : yeah , she is . but luckily , she already has a baby . as long as crimson keeps her distracted , hopefully she 'll stop pushing for another one . [ scene_break ] julian : fashion - hating force is out to get crimson . is that right ? nina : that 's what maxie thinks . i 'm inclined to agree . julian : because of a binding issue with the printer . maxie : this is not just a binding issue . dillon : not a single copy is fit for sale . nina : yeah , uh , we have to pull the entire run . the entire run . does n't that bother you , julian ? i - i know that crimson 's not close to your heart , but is n't it close to your wallet ? julian : okay , look . i understand and appreciate your passion for your work . but , like , you 're letting all of this go to your heads . no one 's out to ruin crimson . maxie : i would n't be so sure about that . the fashion industry is kill - or - be- killed , and someone is out to get us . nina : yeah . who would benefit by the demise of crimson ? julian : okay . [ scoffs ] you all need to put the brakes on your paranoia . there 's no evidence to suggest that somebody 's trying to un - do all your hard work . maxie : actually , that 's , uh -- that 's not true . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm taking avery to see her sister . carly : well , i mean , is kiki up for that ? sonny told me she woke up , but ... i mean , thank god . i just do n't know -- ava : she 's weak , but she 's coming back to us . i thought a visit from her little sister would raise her spirits , so ... if you 'll get out of my way . carly : avery 's asleep . ava : is that the best you can do ? carly : it 's the truth . ava : i 'll see for myself . [ scene_break ] kristina : nothing is going on . sonny : do n't lie to me . alexis : uh , hey . hang on . kristina : y - you do n't get to barge in here and -- and attack me for no reason . sonny : first of all , i 'm not attacking you . i 'm just trying to help you . i ca n't do that if you do n't tell me the truth . molly : i wish you just told them both when you had the chance ! kristina : shut up , molly ! sonny : oh , so you can tell molly , but you ca n't tell your parents what 's going on . kristina : because i thought she could keep her mouth shut . because she 's my sister and she 's not gon na scream at me and judge me and automatically assume -- alexis : hold on . hey ! hey ! enough ! all right ? enough . no one say another word until someone can calmly , please , tell me what 's going on . sonny : you gon na tell your mother what you 're hiding ? kristina : this is so unfair . why are you doing this to me ? sonny : you 're not gon na tell your mother what you 're hiding . all right . i 'm gon na tell her . kristina got kicked out of school . kristina : that 's what ... this is about ? sonny : what do you think it 's about ? [ scene_break ] carly : thank you for not waking avery . ava : a cranky baby wo n't do kiki any good . but avery wo n't sleep forever . i will be back for her soon enough . and when i am , i expect that neither you nor sonny will do anything to get in my way . is that understood ? carly : avery 's safe here . she 's cared for . she 's loved . she 's thriving . why are you so hell - bent on taking her away ? ava : i have no intention of taking avery away , but i do intend to take her home -- with me . did you and sonny get it into your heads that you would be keeping my avery for good ? [ scene_break ] sonny : what is going on , kristina , besides getting thrown out of school ? kristina : i was n't thrown out . i was suspended for one semester , but i can go back in the fall if i want to . alexis : you were suspended ? sonny : sounds like she got kicked out to me . kristina : how dare you pry into my private life ? sonny : you do n't get a private life when you 're accepting our money . kristina : oh , so my education comes with strings ? sonny : well , if that 's the way you want to look at it . alexis : you were suspended ? what happened ? kristina : do n't you have to meet olivia at court ? alexis : i have time . talk to me . kristina : i know it sounds like a big deal , but it is n't . sonny : so it 's not a big deal to get suspended , kristina ? kristina : i do n't need you guys to get involved . i 'm handling it . sonny : lying and hiding out is not handling it . if you 'd have come to us , we would 've been able to deal with it the right way when the school brought the allegations . alexis : allegations ? sonny : i did n't get all the details . kristina : that 's because it 's none of your business . sonny : oh , really ? there was an issue with a professor . she got accused of harassment and spreading false information . alexis : i 'm sorry . harassment ? sonny : well , you got to read between the lines . she did n't harass anybody . some professor harassed her , came on to her . she did n't want to give in , so he turned the tables on her , right ? listen , sweetheart , it 's not your fault . i know how these teachers can be . they get power , and they want to manipulate these students , and you did the right thing by standing up for yourself , and i 'm proud of you . but what i do n't like what you did is you took care of it yourself . let me fix it . kristina : what do you mean ? what are you going to do ? sonny : i 'm gon na straighten out this professor . kristina : okay , no , dad . stop it . sonny : i 'm gon na make sure he never victimizes another student again . kristina : but i 'm not the victim ! sonny : i do n't care what this scum told you ! i 'm gon na take care of him ! kristina : dad , stop ! stop ! stop ! [ breathing shakily ] everything that the school said , the honor - code violation , the harassment , it 's all true . it 's my fault . [ scene_break ] julian : so , you have evidence of a saboteur . maxie : yeah , i spoke with the printer right before they were about to run the real women issue , and he asked me if we wanted the same run as we got last time -- all green . julian : so ... ? maxie : so he made it sound like we intentionally instructed him to turn the entire magazine green , like that was our choice . dillon : we assumed that the file was corrupted , but maybe the printer was given specific instructions . nina : right . suspicious , is n't it ? julian : oh , could be a misunderstanding or possibly a joke . maxie : [ gasps ] nina : [ breathes deeply ] maxie : haute couture -- not a laughing matter . julian : okay , so what 's more likely to be true ? that crimson is a victim of a failure in communication or a mysterious third party trying to take it down ? nina : wait , wait . what are you talking about ? this is not a failure in communication . it happened twice . dillon : okay , i can think of one way to figure this out . we call the printer , we ask if he was given specific orders , and if so , whose . [ scene_break ] olivia : oh , my god . thank god . dr. obrecht , can you please help me ? i was already down in the er , but i 'm not bleeding out of my eyes , so god knows when they 're gon na see me , and i 'm really in a rush . dr. obrecht : what is problem ? it is not little leo . olivia : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . leo 's fine . leo 's fine . it 's me . i 'm covered in hives . i assumed that it 's nerves , because i got to testify against the mayor today , but whatever it is , i can not get up on the stand scratching myself like i got poison ivy at summer camp . dr. obrecht : say no more . i 'll do anything to facilitate an end to mayor lomax 's anti - woman hysteria . olivia : oh , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you . dr. obrecht : give me leo , and go into the exam room . uh -- he 'll be in the way . olivia : are you -- dr. obrecht : i 'll send him to the daycare , and you can pick him up after . olivia : okay . uh , okay . dr. obrecht : come on . olivia : i 'll see you -- see you in a minute , sweetie . dr. obrecht : i 'll be right in . [ clears throat ] franco : what 's going on ? what are you doing ? what are you doing ? dr. obrecht : giving you an assignment . practice with little leo here . 10 minutes with a baby . not even you can screw that up . [ scene_break ] nina : okay , so , i 'm gon na call them . julian : okay , nina , just hold on a second , okay ? i have had a relationship with these printers for many years . i 'll call them . okay ? they 're more likely to tell me the truth . dillon : [ sighs ] julian : yeah , arthur . hey , uh , julian jerome . listen , i 'm standing here with my staff from crimson , and we 're discussing the product that we just received . yeah , well , they 're pretty upset about it . you know , there 's a feeling that the binding issue is a result of a request , not an accident . now , look , arthur , you and i have known each other for many years , and i know you would n't risk our business relationship over this . so i need to know if this was a mistake . right . [ sighs ] thanks , arthur . nina : what 'd he say ? julian : just like i thought . it was a mistake . maxie : a mistake ? is he positive ? julian : look , maxie , i know it 's a letdown . it 's just an unfortunate mistake . hey , but , look , there 's enough money left in the budget for one more issue . nina : wait a second . one more issue ? julian : yeah , farewell to crimson . why do n't you just go home , relax , get some rest ? we 'll come back tomorrow , and we 'll send crimson out on a high note . i know you 'll make it a good one . dillon : [ scoffs ] so , that 's it ? crimson only has one issue left ? nina : you guys can leave if you want . i 'm staying . i have n't yet begun to fight . [ scene_break ] franco : leo , huh ? why would your mother name you that ? there was a famous artist once . his name was leo . he was way ahead of his time . leonardo made all these cool drawings and paintings , all these wacky illustrations of the cool inventions . and another way that leonardo was way ahead of his time is that he never had children . and i doubt that he had a girlfriend that was pestering him to have a child 24/7 . although , there 's a high probability that he was gay . and , you know , gay people have kids all the time . [ sighs ] i 've gotten off the subject here , have n't i ? i do n't think i 'm gon na be a good father . i do n't . did you hear me ? and do n't judge me , all right ? 'cause you do n't know me . i know i 'm a little stressed . [ clears throat ] here 's the thing . i really loved when i thought that kiki was my child , and , you know , my time with avery , that was really great , you know , as long as that lasted . and you and i ? we 're getting along pretty good , are n't we ? yeah . [ cell phone ringing ] franco : maybe i could get a hang of this father thing after all . well . okay .

[ scene_break ] ava : are you and sonny truly so deluded that you thought that i would give you custody of avery for good ? carly : not deluded -- hopeful . hopeful that you would make the right call for avery . ava : oh . the right call being that i relinquish my baby to a man who 's made no secret of his desire to personally see me dead and buried ? carly : oh , really ? oh , come on . ava : now , sonny 's murderous aspirations aside , you tell me , how should i react when someone tries to take one of my children ? how would you ? would you not fight them with everything you had ? carly : i would like to think that i would put my kids ' best interests first , that their safety and their happiness was more important than mine . ava : well , carly , a judge decided that avery is safest and happiest with me . carly : and that judge is gon na be singing a different tune when he finds out that your business nearly killed kiki .

[ scene_break ] ava : is that your plan ? to seize upon kiki 's ordeal and try to paint me as some kind of unfit parent ? carly : those gun crates were addressed to the jerome gallery . ava : and yet the shooting can be traced right back to your very own house . carly : do n't even try it , ava . ava : now , of course , neither of us wants to dredge that up . but , of course , the topic would arise should you and sonny pursue that line of attack , which , by the way , would be utterly fruitless . carly : mm . ava : i 'm a hero . i was in on the sting from the start . i 'm an upstanding citizen helping the feds . carly : that 's the lie the da told to cover your ass . you knowingly put yourself and your children in the path of violent gunrunners . does that mean nothing to you ? does seeing kiki lying in the icu not give you pause ? my god , is it not time to stop wading through blood and to find another way to move forward ? ava : as you and sonny have ? i 'll be careful not to disturb the armed guard on my way out . chocolate . i - i - i hope -- there 's chocolate in that care package for morgan . i know that morgan likes chocolate . carly : you would know that after your inappropriate relationship with my son after you screwed your daughter over . oh , yeah , ava , you 're mother of the year .

[ scene_break ] carly : thank god . i was ready to send out a search party for you . what 's wrong ? sonny : i had a run - in with kristina . carly : what happened ? sonny : it 's just too much to get into right now . why are you all fired up to see me ? carly : [ sighs ] uh , ava stopped by . sonny : to see avery ? carly : to take avery . sonny : she did n't take her , right ? carly : no , no . avery 's upstairs . thank god she was sleeping when ava got here , and i convinced her to let avery be . sonny : kiki just woke up . i thought we 'd have more time . carly : i know . she claimed that she just wanted to take avery to visit kiki . she made it very clear that she plans on taking avery back , sooner rather than later . [ scene_break ] julian : ava , i know you 've had a lot on your plate , but you really should think about taking avery back before sonny and carly make a case that you abandoned her . ava : oh , no . i think they 're already trying to make a case . carly , professional mob wife -- she had the audacity to say that my involvement in that recent gun - running sting might cause a judge to give sonny sole custody rather than me . julian : you ? concerned citizen , crime fighter ? ava : [ chuckles ] yes . right . exactly . no judge will rule against the da 's prize witness . i 'm insulated . julian : you still need to be careful . ava : oh . julian : what 's that ? ava : uh , a nurse said that there was something here for kiki , and this must be ... it . julian : a black rose is never a good thing . somebody gave that to kiki ? ava : yeah . uh , the card is addressed to kiki , but ... [ chuckles ] ... the message is most definitely meant for me . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : one sip to take the edge off , doctor 's orders . franco : i 'm telling you ... when i saw that kid was missing , my whole life flashed in front of my eyes -- not just the life that i have , but the life i could have . dr. obrecht : what do you mean ? franco : i just mean that if i had a life with nina and a baby , that it would n't last long . i 'd find a way to screw it all up and lose them both . dr. obrecht : admittedly , today did not go well . franco : [ scoffs ] nope . i broke one of the primary rules of being a parent . rule number one -- you do n't lose the baby . i should n't even be allowed near a kid -- mine or anybody else 's . [ scene_break ] nina : it 's happening right now -- our newly commissioned crimson air force is leafleting the skies over malls and college campuses . soon , everyone is gon na be talking about real women . dillon : or we 'll be arrested . nina : or both ! [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] julian : a black rose can mean a lot of things , none of them good . so , who would send that to kiki ? ava : someone who wants to make a point to me . one of my lieutenants , maybe . i have n't been in contact with them since the gun deal went bust and kiki was injured . julian : what does the card say ? ava : `` dear kiki , all of us at the gallery are so glad you 're getting better . it 's a good thing the police were there to save you . your mother certainly knows how to pick her friends . `` julian : i guess your underlings did n't take too kindly to learn you 'd thrown in with the da . look , ava , your relationship with hornsby may have saved you with the police , but not with your own people .

[ scene_break ] scott : so , ava , your first mistake was talking to sonny in the first place . ava : well , we do share a daughter , scott . recall that ? i do need to speak with him about avery . scott : so your conversation about avery is what got you in hot water with sonny . ava : no . this was a conversation i had a while ago . the day that sonny came to the gallery to kill me , i - i said something i should n't have , and sonny called me on it . scott : specifically , what ? ava : well , he accused me of -- of hurting morgan . and i said i never meant for things to end that way , that i never meant for them to get that far . so -- so you see now , you understand why i 'm worried , right ? because if lucy goes to sonny , and she tells him that she saw me throwing away that bottle of morgan 's medication , and she shows him the bottle as proof , and sonny -- he might figure out what i did . scott : oh , now , that 's not gon na happen , because i switched the placebos for the real mccoys . you know that . ava : no , i ju -- i 'm just -- i 'm still afraid that there might be some way that sonny and carly could -- could figure it out , but if there 's no bottle , right , then there 's no proof . and the only people that will ever know what really happened are you and moi . scott : you know what i think ? i think you 're mad at yourself -- the fact that you switched those pills out in the first place . ava : yes . of course , i am . i absolutely hate what i did , but i do not intend to die for it . and if kiki were to find out , i would lose her forever , not that it would matter , because i would be completely and entirely dead . scott : okay , settle -- settle -- settle down , ava ! that 's not gon na happen . ava : well , it could . scott : not . ava : sonny has nearly killed me before . and if he finds out what i did with morgan 's medication , well , he will not hesitate to go through with it , and that can not happen , scott . and so there 's only one thing that can be done about it . you know what that one thing is .

[ scene_break ] anna : right , you did try to bring duke back to life ... in the basement using griffin as a conduit . have i got that right ? olivia jerome : yes , but he -- i underestimated his cleverness . he remarkably fooled me . it 's a shame because in just a few more minutes , we really could have brought duke back from the dead . anna : resurrected him . olivia : reincarnated . anna : if that is the true goal that you had when you came back here ... why all the rest of the carnage ? olivia : well , who would have thought that that poor , young man would fall into the trap set for julian ? i deeply regret that . and i have no regrets about julian being dead . i doubt that you do , either . anna : and robin and me and the hospital ? olivia : because you let duke die ! anna : what ? olivia : you got him back ! you had the second chance i dreamt of , and then you broke his heart over and over and over again . and you let him die . anna : no . olivia : no ? just `` no `` ? anna : that 's right . no . olivia : i do n't know what he ever saw in you . you are such a cold fish . and you did n't deserve him , anyway . anna : i 'm asking you why . why robin and sam and alexis ? why would you wreak all this havoc here ? olivia : there were things that needed to be done in order to ensure my success with duke . anna : so you do n't have any regrets about any of the damage that you 've done ? olivia : damage ? what damage ? anna : i hope , for your sake , one day you do actually -- actually wake up and see what a ruin you 've made of your life and how you are the instrument in your own downfall , because as of now , your life is effectively over , olivia . okay , we 're done here . olivia : you missed a spot . anna : what do you mean ? olivia : meaning your research was thorough . your investigation was spotless . but i know something you do n't know . anna : and what would that be ? olivia : i know a secret about you .

[ scene_break ] julian : well , i hired ric to help us out here at the gallery . ava : sweeping up ? julian : in a manner of speaking . ever since the franco show -- or should i say the heather webber show -- we 've been inundated with all these requests for showings . we talked about this -- needing someone to draw up contracts . ava : yes , and we agreed that diane would handle it . she set up the gallery . she 's best suited . julian : diane is just one of our many attorneys . ava : well , yes ! that 's my point exactly . we have many lawyers , and if we are gon na hire one in particular to handle the gallery , should n't it be the one who laid the groundwork ? i think we can agree that diane is extremely thorough . julian : mm , yes , but , um , ever since her boyfriend got himself shot at sonny 's warehouse , diane has been hard to reach . now , if you ask me , i think she thinks that we were somehow involved . [ chuckling ] now , where her boyfriend got that idea from -- beyond me . but , uh , bottom line -- i 'm not quite sure that diane can be trusted . ava : oh ? and he can ?

[ sighs ] elizabeth : why ? what happened ? wait , did this have anything to do with finding out ben 's dna ? felix : no , no . oh , no , no . it had nothing to do with that . it had to do with the , uh , guy -- other guy that brad was sleeping with . elizabeth : he was cheating on you ? felix : okay , not exactly . i ... guess i just had different expectations of what was going on with us , ones that did n't involve him sleeping around until we were `` official . `` elizabeth : mm , sounds to me like brad messed up , not you . felix : maybe . i mean , it 's not like i did n't push him away time after time for months . i guess when i realized that he was the one i wanted to be with , he moved on to someone else . [ scene_break ] lucas : it 's pretty normal to introduce the guy you 're dating to your parents . lulu : oh . yeah , no , not this early . it would be different if we were talking about bobbie or tony , but you barely know julian . you 're trying to test him , are n't you ? lucas : what ? what do you mean ? lulu : you want to see where the line is . you want to see how comfortable he can be having a son who is gay before you get to know him better . [ scene_break ] brad : tonight 's the night , huh ? britt : yeah . [ sighs ] brad : uh , excuse me ? y - you 're engaged to prince charming , who 's throwing you a party on his own private island .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know exactly how you feel -- when someone 's pursuing you , and for whatever reason , you do n't reciprocate . and then by the time you realize you 've made a mistake , it 's too late . they 've moved on with someone else . felix : wait , wait . would we be talking about nikolas cassadine , by chance ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] felix : look , look , look . for the record , he 's a fool . you are 10 times the person that the britch is . elizabeth : thanks . but it still does n't take away from the fact that they 're together , or that i have to put on a brave face and go to this stupid engagement party , with my ex - husband , no less . [ scene_break ] ric : maybe i should go . julian : no , j - just wait . i trust ric . ava : even though he 's sonny 's brother ? or because he is ? julian : yes , ric is sonny 's brother , but that had no bearing on my decision to hire him . ava : with all due respect , mr. lansing ... i 'm well aware of the bad blood between you and your brother . i expect that 's why julian enlisted you in his war against sonny . julian : uh , do n't you mean our war , ava ? ric : any bad blood between my brother and me , ms. jerome , is in the past . i 'm not out to get sonny . ava : and yet you 're willing to work for his enemy . ric : well , my focus is gon na be this gallery . from what i understand , it is a legitimate organization . ava : and legitimacy matters to you ? ric : our client / attorney relationship will be similar to that of my ex - wife and sonny 's . contracts , negotiations -- normal transactions . ava : and that 's the extent of your relationship with my brother . ric : well , of course , it is . what else could it be ? ava : you tell me . [ scene_break ] sonny : your ex - husband is julian 's lawyer . did you know that ? alexis : yeah , i knew that . sonny : oh . alexis : i 'm the one that referred ric to julian . sonny : you -- w - w - why ? alexis : because he asked me to represent him , and i did n't think it was a good idea . well , i knew it was n't a good idea , because it was a conflict of interest . sonny : you do n't think they already knew each other ? alexis : ric came to see molly -- i do n't know if they knew each other . sonny : mm , i do n't know if i quite believe that . alexis : okay , stop being so cryptic and tell me exactly what is going on here . sonny : okay , somebody 's been funding julian 's enterprise from the start , buying a controlled interest in barrett enterprises . alexis : and you think it 's ric ? where 's ric gon na get the money to -- to buy into barrett enterprises ? sonny : we do n't know what ric 's been up to for the last five years , and he 's got a lot of connections , both sides of the law . maybe he , uh , put together a hedge fund . alexis : yeah . you 're reaching . sonny : no , i 'm not ! okay , look . ever since this -- you know , julian 's been attacking me , i always felt that it was personal . but he does n't know me from adam , and ric has had a grudge against me his whole life . and now it makes sense , because everything 's boiling over with julian and me , so that 's -- that 's why ric would -- would come now . alexis : okay , so , this crazy theory of yours -- sonny : right . alexis : got any proof ? sonny : well , um ... that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] ric : i 'll let you two hammer out whatever arrangement works . julian : [ sighs ] could you be any more hostile ? on second thought , do n't answer that . ava : enough , julian . he 's gone now . so how about you tell me what 's really going on here ? [ scene_break ] brad : all right . what 's going on ? britt : [ sighs ] i do n't even know where to start . what the hell is this ? brad : oh . it 's that , uh , time of year again . the ... nurses ' ball . britt : oh , no . no . that 's where it all started going wrong .

[ sighing ] oh , god . i mean , lulu ... she went missing . the fact that i 'd stolen her child ... it did n't seem real . it -- it was as if they were just donors , you know ? i mean , how was i supposed to know that this was the only chance she had to have a baby ? brad : could be worse , right ? now that dante knows that he 's ben 's father , at least lulu has a chance to be a part of her son 's life . britt : yeah , i try to convince myself that being able to see ben makes it better for her , but in some ways , i - i think i 've just made it worse .

[ sighs ] i have to accept that ... ben is britt 's son ... not mine . [ scene_break ] britt : just the thought of giving him back makes me sick . [ sighs ] but so does keeping him from lulu .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , you confused jake for jason ? i - i do n't get that . spinelli : i attribute the error to a commingling of fluorescent lights and wishful thinking , but when i caught a glimpse of mr. doe from a moderate distance at a certain angle , i -- i must say , he did bear a striking resemblance to jason . sonny : that 's all there is ? spinelli : of course , when i got up close , i realized my error , but for that one , brief second , i was so sure . sonny : well , i mean , where are you getting this ? 'cause they 're both totally different , you know what i mean , and jake is nothing like jason . spinelli : yeah , no , of course . it was just a trick of the light . sonny : i mean , blonde hair . spinelli : yeah . sonny : but i kind of get it . spinelli : you do ? sonny : i 'd give my right hand to have jason back . but i know that 's never gon na happen .

[ laughs ] thank you . yeah , it gives you something to look forward to just in case crimson does n't work out . maxie : do n't give up hope yet , nina . our contest is trending on the internet . look . the photo of olivia 's cover -- it 's being tweeted all over the country . [ scene_break ] olivia : damn it . these hives are acting up . alexis : you 're representing lomax ? diane : i 'm defending the city against your groundless lawsuit . alexis : you gave me a leash and a collar for my wedding gift . diane : and how much do you want to thank me for that ? alexis : that is not the point . the point is you are not some puritan prude like lomax . lomax : excuse me . i heard that . alexis : good . you would never object to a woman breastfeeding her kid in public . diane : i would never object to anyone whipping anything out anywhere at anytime , but the mayor and the city and the county deserve the best defense that money can buy . alexis : even if it means empowering a reactionary public official ? diane : do n't you chastise me for taking on a client . we would n't even be in this mess if you had n't gotten up on your milking stool and cried foul . lomax : as my attorney has pointed out , this is a completely frivolous lawsuit . both of you made your point at the police station . olivia : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you had me arrested . i had no choice but to speak up . lomax : and i realized i may have been wrong , which is why i dropped the assault charges . i 've done the right thing . now it 's your turn . it 's not too late to drop this and save yourself before the citizens turn on you in backlash for wasting their money . alexis : i hardly think enforcing a woman 's right to breastfeed her child in public a waste of taxpayers ' money . lomax : oh , spare me the over - the - top political correctness . diane : [ sighs ] lomax : when the dust settles , the two of you will look like the villains for taking the city to court in what amounts to a shameless publicity grab . just drop this lawsuit now ! [ scene_break ] carly : what is this magic plan that is gon na convince ava that her daughter belongs with us ? sonny : how many times i got to tell you not to worry , carly ? carly : do n't do that . look at me . i 'm worried , okay ? this woman keeps trying to destroy our family , and you have demonstrated zero ability to keep your temper when you deal with her . sonny : like you 're any better ? carly : i never threatened to kill her in a court of law . sonny : okay , that 's true . point taken . carly : yes . sonny : but this is different . carly : how ? how is it different ? sonny : i do n't have to lay a finger to hold on to avery because ava already dug her own grave . all i got to do is gently push her into it . [ scene_break ] ava : i understand that my people feel betrayed because i worked with the feds . and i do know that it is an offense punishable by death . julian : so why did you do it ? ava : i told you i had no choice . paul hornsby -- he has the recording where i admit to killing connie falconeri . if i did n't do exactly what he said , he would have thrown me in prison . julian : okay , well , if paul hornsby is the one that put you in danger , he 's the one that needs to keep you safe from repercussion . i mean , he needs to put you in the witness protection program . ava : no , no . i would n't leave my girls . and that 's [ laughs ] besides the point , because paul would n't do that anyway . julian : well , at the very least , he needs to assign detail to protect you . ava : there 's a lot of things that paul should do , and he 's not doing any of them . so i need to face it that ... i 'm on my own . julian : ava , you need to hear me . you are not gon na survive on your own . so what are you gon na do ? [ scene_break ] valerie : i did n't realize your mother had passed . curtis : yeah , well , not my favorite topic . i -- not because of her , because of me . i mean , i loved my mama very much . she basically passed before she got a chance to see me fix my life and straighten myself up . tell you what . it sucks knowing that ... she died basically disappointed in me . valerie : well ... [ chuckles ] i 'm the opposite . my mother passed away almost a year ago ... before my life went off the rails . [ laughs ] actually ... i think if my mother was still alive , i would n't have went down that path . curtis : well ... we all got our backstory . valerie : oh , yeah . curtis : i can tell by your face you really miss her . valerie : every day . sometimes i still talk to her . curtis : yeah . i know all about that . well , hey . why do n't we put the past in its place for a few hours ? let 's go out there and get that $ 1,000 and make ourselves some winners . valerie : [ laughs ] curtis : huh ? come on . come on .

[ chuckles ] okay , listen . are you sure you 're not being paranoid about the sabotage thing ? because julian talked to the printer , and he said it was coincidence . maxie : no , that printer is talking out of both sides of his mouth . nina : okay , but he makes money from the magazine , so you sure he would want to alienate us ? maxie : i do n't trust him . nina : oh ! maxie : all those years in a coma spared you from seeing how bad people can really be . nina : oh , no . i know how bad people can be , okay ? my mother injected me with a drug , put me in a coma , and made me lose my child . i understand evil , and i know how awful people can be . maxie : okay , that was a fair point . people are capable of awful things , and that includes sabotaging this magazine . so , who benefits from shutting crimson down ? nina : i know who benefits . julian jerome . [ scene_break ] julian : we 've got to find a way to save you , ava . ava : you know what ? maybe ... maybe god answered my prayer after all . julian : now wait . what do you mean by that ? ava : when we were n't sure that kiki was gon na make it ... i begged god to save her and take me instead . julian : sweetheart ... you ... may have made a deal or a bargain with god ... but i certainly did n't . i mean , last year , when i thought i 'd lost you , i ... well , suffice it to say i 'm not going through that again . so we 're gon na find a way to keep you alive , okay ? ava : yeah . okay . and you know , i have a -- a meeting with my crew coming up , and i 'll just lay it out for them . i 'll tell them the truth . i 'll tell them that i had no choice , that paul hornsby was blackmailing me , that i -- i had a choice -- either i go to prison for murder or i -- i help him against those gun runners . you know , and i think that i -- i could make a pretty good case for myself , right ? i mean , provided they do n't shoot me the moment they see my face . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not worried about avery , but i wish i could say the same thing about kristina . carly : mm - hmm . well ... you and kristina are a lot alike . when she 's struggling or dealing with something , she has a tendency to project it onto you . sonny : she would n't tell me what -- what was going on , so i had max go to the school and do some digging . carly : max ? sonny : yeah . carly : [ laughs ] my gosh . i would have loved to see max at wesleyan . [ laughs ] sonny : well , it would be funny , but i 'm upset because kristina 's been saying she 's enrolled in this independent - study program . truth is ... she got suspended . carly : what ? i thought she was doing so well in school . what happened ? sonny : she says she was flunking and in order to improve her gpa , she ... hit on one of the professors . carly : oh . oh , god , sonny . she could n't just accept the grade and take the class over again ? sonny : she did n't want to disappoint me and alexis , and i hate that she feels that way . but you know what i 'm more upset about is that damn professor who turns her in . instead of , you know , letting her go with dignity , he makes it public . carly : what a jerk . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i bet you any amount of money that he encouraged kristina and at the last minute , he changed his mind . sonny : he messed with the wrong girl when he messed with my daughter , so ... what i 'm gon na do is i 'm gon na have somebody go , you know , go out there and straighten him out . [ scene_break ] kristina : now my dad thinks that i 'm a slut because i came on to my professor . thank you for standing up to him . molly : you 're my sister . of course , i stood up for you . kristina : thank you . i mean , you 're being so good to me , and i -- i still ca n't ... [ inhales deeply ] ... be direct with you on my ... molly : your sexuality . kristina : you just have no idea how confusing this is for me . i mean , i 've -- i 've always dated guys . molly : who were evil creeps . kristina : no , molly . they were just ... guys . some were good , some were not so great . i mean , even kiefer . he was messed up , but he was n't evil . anyway ... i never thought that i would be attracted to a woman until i met parker . i mean , now i 'm questioning everything . who i am ... what i want ... what sex i want to sleep with . molly : maybe you 're bisexual . kristina : it 's the weirdest thing . because i have gay friends at wesleyan . and sam 's brother , lucas -- i totally support him . but when it 's you , it just feels different . like , if i 'm really bi , can you imagine what my dad would say ? or even our super progressive mother ? god , they 're gon na totally freak out . [ scene_break ] lomax : oh , this is absurd . all i did was object to ms. falconeri baring her breasts in the middle of a business meeting . alexis : and it is against the law to prevent a woman from breastfeeding in the state of new york . diane : my client did nothing to break that law . she did n't hinder ms. falconeri in any way . all she did was complain , which she has every right to do . free speech , still being guaranteed by that good ol ' constitution . alexis : [ sighs ] lomax : olivia was the one that got aggressive and knocked over the table . olivia : i j -- i jostled the table . lomax : this was an assault charge , not a charge for her flaunting her breasts . alexis : you harassed and you intimidated my client for feeding her child . i am suing you , and i 'm suing the city so women everywhere know that there are consequences for prevention of breastfeeding mothers . diane : okay , so now you want to stifle people 's opinions ? hmm ? you want to intimidate people into silence ? i mean , you do n't want anyone to have an opinion contrary to yours -- you and your battalion of breastfeeding mothers ? and what happens if they do ? olivia : [ sighs ] diane : what 's the penalty ? do they pay a fine ? do they -- are they incarcerated ? are they shot by a firing squad ? alexis : you are being absolutely ridiculous . this is not a free - speech issue . diane : you need to take a refresher course in constitutional law , because this is definitely a first amendment case . alexis : this is an abuse - of - power case , and we will prove that . in addition , we are asking for a public apology from you , mayor lomax . lomax : you know , i have tried taking the high road . i have tried reasoning like a rational adult . but if you two do n't drop this case right now , i swear you will regret the day you went up against me . [ scene_break ] molly : i think our super progressive mother is gon na be just fine with you no matter what your sexuality is . so will your dad . kristina : how can he be fine ? is he really going to find out in the same year that one son is bipolar and one daughter is bisexual ? no , i - it 's too much . molly : well , like you said . you do n't even know what you are yet . maybe you 'll be polysexual -- someone who 's attracted to multiple genders . kristina : how do you know so much about this ? molly : you know me . before i do anything , i have to learn everything there is to know . so when i decided to lose my virginity , i did some research . kristina : tj 's a lucky guy . molly : i think so . but the biggest thing i learned is that sexuality , just like gender , can be fluid . and there 's no shame in that . look at lady gaga or billie joe armstrong from green day . no matter what your label is , kristina , you 're still always gon na be you . and you should be proud of who you are . i certainly am . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , you can not send someone to go full mob - style on this professor . that is not going to help kristina . sonny : i saw kristina earlier . she was confused , she was feeling bad . he did it to her . carly : okay , i understand that , but listen to me . if you go and you root this man out , and you scare him , you can really make things difficult on kristina . you said that she 's already been suspended for a semester . you do n't want it to be longer . sonny : i hear you , but if i can figure out what -- what kristina 's not telling us , make her feel better , send somebody out there , dig around , they can help me with her . i mean , come on . what else can i do ? [ cell phone chimes ] carly : oh , hold on . sonny : what are you doing ? carly : i have a message . [ sighs ] oh , damn it . the health inspector 's at the metro court . i 've got to go . i 'm sorry . sonny : you 've never had violations before . carly : i 'm not worried . olivia 's in court . i 'm in charge of all hotel stuff . i love you . bye . [ scene_break ] alexis : are you actually threatening me in front of witnesses ? lomax : [ scoffs ] do n't exaggerate . we 're merely having a conversation . olivia : oh , i know what a threat sounds like , lady . alexis : so , what exactly are you saying you 'll do if i do n't withdraw this case ? lomax : well , let 's see . first i could have a conversation with the bar association , remind them that you 're married to a very well - known criminal . alexis : my husband is a publisher of a magazine . however , your attorney 's significant other is a mob enforcer for sonny corinthos . diane : oh , max and i are blissfully happy , thoroughly committed . we are also not married , do not file joint tax returns , and our business dealings are completely separate . therefore , any allegations against max have nothing to do with me . lomax : meanwhile , you have not one , but two children sired by two different mobsters , which casts some serious doubt on your ethics . and may i remind you that i 've already cancelled all the business associations with the hotel and your restaurant . olivia : which just opened up both places to new , more appreciative business . lomax : well , you think that 's the only thing i can do ? look , just drop the lawsuit and your bottom line will benefit . olivia : no ! this is n't just about me . this is about mothers and their children everywhere . alexis : and it is my duty as an officer of the court to protect all of their mothers and babies . lomax : well , you 're making a big mistake . olivia : no , no , no , no . i think you are the one making a big mistake , mayor . or -- or should i say soon - to - be - ex - mayor . diane : mayor lomax ... i 'd advise you not to say another word . olivia falconeri has been illegally taping this entire conversation . [ scene_break ] ava : i can only hope my associates let me explain the situation before they kill me . julian : well , your ... actions pose a direct threat to their bank accounts and their freedom . these are n't the kind of people that are known for their compassion . ava : julian , what else can i do ? besides plead my case , ask for mercy ? julian : [ sighs ] well , i mean , there is one other option . you can let your big brother handle this . [ scene_break ] molly : i think you 're totally underestimating mom and uncle sonny . they 're worried about you , because they care , because they love you . kristina : they love who they think i am . but you saw their faces when i told them that i was suspended . they were so disappointed in me . and now on top of that , i have to let them know that my sexuality is fluid ? i mean , you do n't know how mom is going to react . you 're the normal , straight , straight - a student who hardly ever gets into trouble . molly : i am . you 're right . i do n't know how you feel . but i do know that you 're scared and you 're hurting . but so are mom and uncle sonny . they 're almost as confused and riled up inside as you are , because they know there 's more to this story . kristina : i - i know that you 're saying all this because you love me , but can we just please get through mom 's hearing today first ? molly : okay . i 'll drive to the courthouse if you tell me about parker . wo n't that feel good to actually tell someone ? you said in your diary that p is special . why ? kristina : you know , parker is the smartest , most interesting person that i 've ever met . i mean , even just talking about her ... molly : your whole face just lit up . kristina : pretty much . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : max , i got another job for you . it 's about kristina . very sensitive situation . listen ... i need you to get to the bottom of what happened between her and one of her professors . [ scene_break ] nina : franco told me that julian hired me , because he wanted crimson to fail . when i asked julian about it , he said that crimson was a lost cause . maxie : well , he does not have a lot of faith in us . but that is a long way from sabotaging your own magazine . nina : yeah , i know . i mean , why would he tank two issues and run the risk of looking like an idiot to his own advertisers ? maxie : yeah , he would be in a lot of trouble . nina : so it 's not julian . maxie : okay , what about you ? do you have any ... personal enemies ? nina : my mother . she 's in prison , so she really ca n't do anything from prison . there 's ava jerome . she holds a grudge against me for kidnapping her child still , so ... maxie : wait , but did n't i just read somewhere that ava 's busy working with dillon 's dad to set up arms dealers ? so she definitely does n't have the time . nina : yeah , probably not . what about you ? you have enemies ? anyone who 'd want you to fail ? maxie : back in the day , i would say i had a lot of enemies , but it 's kind of amazing how much i 've settled down .

[ door closes ] carly : hey , look at me . michael : i never should 've got that gun . it 's all my fault . carly : what happened to kate is exactly why kids do n't touch guns . michael : i did n't mean to shoot her . carly : i know that . okay ? i know that it was an accident . michael : am i going to go to jail ? carly : no . you 're not going to go to jail . your father and i will never let that happen . michael : what about kate ? carly : i do n't know , you know ? i -- i 'm -- i have to pray that sonny will talk to her and -- and that she will agree to keep this quiet . nobody ever has to know that you shot her . jax : michael , your mother needs to rest now . why do n't you find mercedes and morgan and have mercedes bring you guys back later ? michael : okay . jax : okay ? michael : bye , mom . i hope you feel better . carly : okay . jax : i suppose i 'm the last to know . carly : i was going to tell you about it -- did n't have a chance . jax : michael shot kate ? and you ca n't seriously be thinking about covering this up ? [ scene_break ] sam : okay , i -- i have been having these flashes from the night of the accident , and -- and before , all i could remember were little pieces -- like the car coming ward me , and hitting the ground . alexis : and now ? sam : what if i remember seeing who hit me ? wait -- wait a minute , what are you doing ? alexis : i 'm calling mac . sam : no , do n't , please . i just -- i want to be sure before i give a statement to the police . alexis : if you have a lead , it 's their job to follow it up . sam : okay , and i agree . i just -- i need to sort through all of this first . alexis : the longer you wait , the more difficult it 's going to be to make a case against this driver . sam : okay , but i know what it 's like to falsely accused , and i do n't want to put anyone else through that . alexis : you need to let the police handle this . i mean it . you 're not in any position to -- to perform your own investigation here . sam : okay . all right , i 'll -- i will tell you if i know any more details . [ scene_break ] logan : all i remember is the -- the sound of your voice . you know , i heard you talking , but i could n't make out the words -- i thought it was a dream . then i opened my eyes and you were sitting right there . lulu : i visited you every day . i talked to you for hours . the doctor said it would help , but i was n't sure . logan : lulu , i may not have been able to hear what you were saying , but i could feel you -- feel you in here every time you walked in the room . i -- i -- i think that 's what brought me back . lulu : and i was the reason that you were in a coma and you could 've died . [ lulu sighs ] lulu : i am so , so sorry . logan : do n't apologize . you were damn right to defend yourself . [ scene_break ] trevor : sisterly devotion ? oh -- it 's an act . she came back here for one reason only -- to take over . johnny : well , if you knew that 's what she was after , why 'd you send for her ? trevor : you remember we had this conversation out in the hallway ? i told you i sent for her in order to smooth things over so you could get your bearing . claudia : hmm . trevor : who knew that she was planning a power play behind our backs ? claudia : you mean behind john 's back , right , because he 's the one who 's in charge ? trevor : no one learns this business overnight ! i was appointed consigliore to -- to guide you because i was with your father from the start . claudia : no , i remember the start . i remember when you first came here , and even then , my mother used to call you a snake . trevor : your mother , domenica , was a very unhappy woman , and -- claudia : she could see right through you , and so do i . trevor : well , luckily , john knows the truth , because i held things together and grew this empire while your father started to slip . claudia : you mean when you pushed my dad to become good and crazy so that you could run the business in his name , right ? johnny : enough with the history lesson , okay ? i 'm more interested in the recent past . trevor , where were you when claudia was bargaining for my life with corinthos ? trevor : oh . she did n't tell you that sonny kidnapped me ? did she , huh ? his goons worked me over pretty good because they thought that i took his kid -- an eye for an eye . i told him i did n't , he would n't listen , and then i told him there were going to be consequences for kidnapping you . johnny : well , it 's a good thing claudia showed more initiative . trevor : yeah , you know what i think ? i think claudia wants you dead as much as corinthos -- probably even more . claudia : trevor is a liar , john . you know that . [ door closes ] johnny : hey , it 's me . i need to see you , it 's important . [ scene_break ] jax : your child bought an illegal handgun and shot an innocent woman . carly : it was an accident . he dropped the gun and it went off , he did n't shoot her . jax : it was n't an accident he had the gun in the first place . i ca n't believe that you 're going to pretend like nothing happened . carly : what do you want me to do ? jax : you could start by going to the police and -- and telling them how kate ended up with a bullet in her chest . carly : i 'm not going to go to the police so they can ship michael away for 30 years . i will never let that happen . jax : he 's 12 years old ; he 's not going to go to prison , okay ? besides , it was an accident . carly , you 're not going to have a kid in three years , let alone 30 , if you do n't step in and do something now . carly : i do n't see how turning him over to the cops is going to help my son . jax : he needs to learn that there are consequences to his actions . carly : you saw him , jax . he was devastated . jax : oh -- carly : he -- he 's learned his lesson , okay ? what we need to do is let it go . jax : see , this is exactly why michael is messed up . because from a very young age he 's been taught that -- that the rules do n't apply if your last name is `` corinthos `` or `` morgan . `` carly : that is not true ! jax : oh , really ? how many times has sonny and jason been arrested -- actually , the better question will be , how many times have sonny and jason been arrested and have actually paid for the laundry list of crimes that they 've committed ? carly : this has nothing to do with sonny and jason , okay ? jax : they 're the reason why his life is surrounded by violence . he lives behind bulletproof glass . i mean , he 's got bodyguards following him around wherever he goes . you do n't think that has some kind of effect on michael ? god , carly , most boys his age -- they dream about becoming doctors and firemen . your child wants to be a mob boss . this does n't concern you at all ? carly : of course it concerns me . jax : then prove it -- stop protecting him and get him the help he needs . carly : what he needs is to forget this ever happened . that 's what he needs . jax : right , of course . and how many innocent people are supposed to get hurt , huh ? he 's already shot one woman . almost killed you and the baby . carly : he did n't cause the explosion , jax ! jax : you would n't have been in the cannery if it was n't for michael . if he had n't bought that gun , he would n't have shot kate , he would n't have felt the need to run away . carly : all this is michael 's fault now , is that it ? jax : no , i 'm not blaming michael . i 'm blaming his parents for not teaching him that the law is there to protect him , that he does n't need to buy a handgun to protect himself . carly : so now i 'm a bad mother ? jax : no , i 'm not saying you 're a bad mother , but you 're misguided . your loyalty to sonny and jason has seriously clouded your judgment , carly . carly : sonny is michael and morgan 's father , what would you have me do ? jax : i do n't know , i do n't know -- something better than you 're doing now . now , you might be okay with michael and morgan being surrounded by sonny 's crazy , violent world , but i 'm not going to let that happen to our child . jax : i 'm going to go . [ scene_break ] lulu : you told me that you were going to take me somewhere to explain , and i panicked . logan : i -- i was there , too , remember ? i saw how scared you were -- with good reason . i mean , you just walked in , you found -- all that evidence . and then i walk in and you 're panicked . i grab you , put a hand over your mouth to stop you from screaming . i mean , you know , you were -- you were right to defend yourself . lulu : i could 've given you the benefit of the doubt and -- logan : lulu -- lulu : instead of taking a wrench and hitting you on the head . logan : lulu , you were protecting yourself . lulu : from you ? logan : look , i know that if roles were reversed , and it was johnny who had grabbed you , you would 've clocked him , too . [ lulu sighs ] lulu : i have n't been fair to you . logan : i have not been great to you , either . i have n't , you know , but it does n't mean i 'm just going to give up , pack it in , go home , shut off my feelings for you . i ca n't -- i 've -- i 've tried . huh . lulu : i care about you , logan . but i -- i care about johnny , too . so i -- i need to -- to figure out what i want . if you want to move on in the meantime , that is completely okay with me . logan : yeah , well , you 're being honest , and that 's a good place to start . you go -- um -- you know , you go take -- take all the time you need , figure it out , but i 'm not going to give up on you -- i ca n't . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh . sam : hi . i guess you 're not going to invite me in . elizabeth : cameron 's upstairs . i would rather him not hear any of this . sam : okay , i understand . i guess it would be pretty traumatic for a 4-year - old to overhear that their mommy ran over an innocent woman and left her in the middle of the road for dead . but then again , i -- i think it would be pretty hard to stomach at any age . unless you 're lucky -- he did n't seem to mind , though , and i see he wasted no time warning you . elizabeth : oh , he just thought i should know what you were accusing me of . sam : you know damn well this is more than an accusation , and i actually came here to give you a chance to explain . i just -- i do n't understand why you were n't honest about this and just admitted to me and -- and said that you were sorry for leaving me in the middle of the road to bleed to death . if -- if you would 've done that , i might have considered letting you off the hook . but no . you 're going to do what you always do , and you 're going to lie about everything that you have done and wait for somebody to clean up your mess -- probably jason or lucky . big mistake . it 's going to cost you your freedom . [ scene_break ] claudia : claudia . we met at your hotel , i almost spilled my martini down your -- carly : yeah , yeah , i remember . claudia : i was n't sure -- you looked a little confused there . carly : i 'm sorry . what are you doing here ? claudia : my kid brother pulled your kid out of a burning building last night . carly : your brother ? claudia : mm - hmm . carly : who are you ? claudia : i 'm claudia zacchara . i 'm johnny zacchara 's sister . [ scene_break ] sam : if you 're thinking of pleading your case in your children 's names , save your breath . you deserve exactly what you 're going to get . elizabeth : okay , if i did hit you , it was an accident . sam : you got behind the wheel of your car knowing that you were too drugged up to drive . and you did n't bother to stop after you hit me , and left me there to die because you were driving to go see your `` precious jason `` ? elizabeth : oh , you do n't remember seeing me . you overheard me telling lucky that i fell asleep on my way to see jason . oh -- sam : when i get up on that stand , i will tell the jury that i remember every horrifying detail . that i remember seeing the car coming toward me , i remember you being behind the wheel , and i remember waking up in that hospital in excruciating pain . who do you think they 're going to believe -- the woman with the cane , or the one who just got her bumper fixed ? elizabeth : if you press charges , i will return the favor , and i will tell the police that you helped kidnap my son . [ scene_break ] lulu : i got your message . um -- i actually wanted to talk to you , too . i was -- scott : so where 'd lulu go ? logan : she did n't say . scott : well , i bet johnny knows . logan : huh . probably . scott : so that 's okay with you -- she -- she 's off with some other guy , you 're laid up here like king tut ? logan : well , i do n't expect her to stay by my bed all day and night -- she did that while i was in a coma . scott : well , you know , she might 've been willing you to wake up , but it was n't out of some great love , it was out of -- out of guilt . now that you 're awake , i mean , she 's moving on . logan : nah . she 'll be back . scott : how long do you think -- a week , a month ? spencer women -- they get restless , and when she does , she 's going to run right back to johnny . logan : no , not if i have anything to say about it . scott : look , do n't get me wrong , logan , lulu 's a beautiful girl , just like her mother . i just do n't want to see her destroy you the way her mother almost destroyed me . logan : i 'm nothing like you . [ scene_break ] anthony : what do you want ? trevor : tony , claudia 's become a problem . she 's feeding johnny lies , trying to gain his trust . anthony : well , i never said she was stupid . trevor : no . if we do n't stop her , she 's going to take over -- put your beloved son in the ground . anthony : right next to you . you want to get out of this alive , huh ? i 'm your only chance . [ scene_break ] claudia : your psycho ex - husband kidnapped my brother , locked him in a padded room , and beat the hell out of him . and then he told me he was going to send johnny back to me piece by piece , unless i gave him back michael -- who i never had . [ monitor beeps ] carly : you got a problem with how sonny does business , you need to take it up with sonny . claudia : no , i do n't think you 're listening to me ! he almost killed my brother because you ca n't keep your eye on your kid ? you better rein him in , carly . because if you do n't , he 's going to start a mob war that 's going to put everyone that you love in jeopardy . carly : you can threaten sonny all you want , but do n't even think about coming after my family . i 'm only going to say this once -- you stay the hell away from my kids , or i will ki -- [ alarm ] carly : oh , my god !

[ alarm ] carly : oh -- | at first , jax is comforting and loving to carly , then gets tough when he tells her that michael has been overly influenced by sonny 's world and will have to deal with the results of his actions . furthermore , their child will not be a victim of such mentality . logan wakes and scott is not happy about his forgiving attitude towards lulu . on the other hand , now that sam knows liz might have been the one to hit her , she has no forgiveness in her at all . |

[ maxie coughing ] lulu : come on , what 's the big deal ? it 's an oxygen mask . it 's a little thing . it 's going to make you feel better . it 's going to give spinelli a peace of mind . he 's miserable . he 's blaming himself for your illness , you know ? maxie : no , lulu , it is not a small thing . and the oxygen mask is the first big step over the abyss . i remember being in this hospital when i was 6 years old , before i had my transplant when i was dying , even though no one would say anything . there 's a pattern , okay ? first the nasal cannula , and then the oxygen mask . and then that leads to this horrible tent thing where you 're closed off from the rest of the world . and people have to wear protective gear to see you . but that does n't matter because you ca n't touch them and they ca n't touch you . you just stare at them through plastic , acting like everything 's going to be fine . i do n't want that . i feel like i still have so much more stuff to do . lulu : okay , i know that you 're really , really scared right now . maxie , you 're the bravest person that i know . maxie : please do n't be nice to me , okay ? i 'm gon na cry and i might not stop . lulu : what do you want me to do ? maxie : i want you to get out of this hospital . i want you to go do something fun . do something fun with dante . you guys should have sex , or take a walk in the park . come on , lulu , anything that just makes you happy to be alive .

carly : i know jason . i know what he needs . and the longer they 're married , the more clingy and insecure sam gets . she makes a big deal about putting up with all the women in jason 's life -- robin , elizabeth . johnny : you . carly : she 'd like nothing more than to cut us all out . she could n't wait to ban me from jason 's hospital room or rub my nose in the fact that she 's now jason 's family . let me tell you something , i 've been jason 's family a hell of a lot longer than sam has . johnny : [ chuckles ] down , girl . carly : no , i 'm sorry . this -- this really pisses me off . johnny : yeah , i can tell . and at the risk of making matters worse , just -- carly : what ? johnny : consider for a second that jason just had brain surgery . carly : so ? johnny : so maybe sam was trying to protect him by not letting him get upset and having an aneurysm . carly : you 're missing the point , johnny . jason does n't want anyone deciding what he can or can not handle . and if sam does n't understand that by now , she has no business being his wife . johnny : are those jason 's sentiments or yours ? carly : he did n't have a seizure when i told him that robin was dead . he did n't fall to the ground and pass out . he had an appropriate reaction to losing someone you care about . johnny : okay . i 'm just trying to say that maybe sam 's intentions or actions were not as malicious -- carly : sam underestimated jason . she made a big mistake . johnny : okay . i 'm just trying to figure out if all of this is to help jason or are you more concerned with hurting sam ? anna : i 'm not stupid . i know marriage is hard -- believe me , i get it -- and that sometimes you can hit rough patches . patrick : we were no exception . anna : yeah . right . after emma was born , it was very difficult for you . but it was what maxie said and the way that she said it . it just made it sound like it was perhaps a bit recent . i do n't want to overstep my mark here , please , patrick , but i do want to know what happened . patrick : i cheated on your daughter . maxie : why are you just standing there ? i killed lisa niles . arrest me . mac : you 're no threat . maxie : tell that to robin . oh , wait . you ca n't because i killed her , too . mac : maxie , robin 's death was an accident , all right ? as for lisa niles , her murder was solved . maxie : [ laughs ] so you think . matt : okay . i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're trying to do here -- whether you 're just trying to punish yourself or what -- but the first mate killed lisa , remember ? maxie : do you ? probably not since you were pretty much wasted the entire night . my body count is up to three already , so take me in before i kill again . sam : i can explain . jason : you lied to me . sam : only because i knew the truth would hurt you . jason : why did n't you tell me ? why did n't you tell me robin was dead ? patrick : i 'm sorry you had to find out like this , anna -- today . anna : you had an affair ? patrick : no . no . it was one night . it was the biggest mistake i 've ever made . anna : oh , come on . you do n't accidentally fall into bed with a woman that is n't your wife . you do make a choice . that is a choice . patrick : there 's nothing you can say to me right now that i have n't already said to myself . anna : i doubt that . patrick : what i did was stupid , and it was selfish , and i -- anna : did you love this other woman ? patrick : no . no . she was a girl i dated in college . anna : oh , yeah . robin said something about an ex - girlfriend . that 's right . but she did n't seem to be concerned , because she trusted you and she believed in her marriage . patrick : well , people spoke of robin 's capacity to forgive , and nobody knows that better than i do . anna : you did n't deserve her forgiveness . you sure as hell did n't deserve her love . sonny : i thought you were n't into this . connie : what ? sonny : the role - playing stuff . 'cause in chicago , you bit my head off when i brought it up . connie : i re - evaluated . come on , sonny . i just -- i just want to take your mind off of all this stuff . okay ? yeah ? oh , yeah ? sonny : [ chuckling ] wait a minute . okay . okay . i -- hold -- hold on . relax for one second , okay ? i just want you to know that i - i 'm in love with kate howard , so you -- you do n't have to be somebody else . connie : i am not kate howard . i am tonight -- carmen . carmen . sonny : okay . wait a minute . what -- what is going on right now ? i mean , you 're carmen ? connie : hola . sonny : qué tal ? connie : bien . sonny : ah . connie : no , actually , one of the models could n't make the fitting . well , she could , but carmen would n't get out of bed for less than 10 grand , so -- sonny : so you 're standing in for her . connie : that 's right . so , what do you think ? is this a good look for the cover ? hmm ? sonny : you 're sexy . i told you that already . you 're sexy as hell . but you kind of remind me of how you used to look back in high school . i never thought connie would come back . connie : think again . patrick : things were complicated between us . anna : mm - hmm . patrick : we were fighting . she went to africa , and in that time -- anna : how dare she . how dare she go to africa . she 's off volunteering with h.i.v . and aids patients , and you 're accidentally falling into bed with your ex - girlfriend . patrick : it was one night . anna : oh , one night . sorry . so she left you , and that gave you a free pass for one night . patrick : i loved my wife . anna : uh - huh . patrick : and i tried to fix things , but lisa had other plans . anna : what does that mean ? patrick : she wanted more than one night , and she was n't gon na stop until she got it . anna : oh , you must have loved that . all that attention made you feel like a player again . you know , took you back to the good old days , before you were saddled with a wife and child . did you resent robin for making you a family man ? is that why you hooked up with this other woman -- to get back at her ? patrick : i 'd never do that . anna : she must have been devastated . oh , patrick , i wanted you to be the right man for my daughter ! i wanted you to be a good father and a good husband and love them the way they both deserved to be loved , but you did n't do that . you broke her heart ! carly : you know what ? johnny : hmm ? carly : jason needed to know the truth about robin , and he needed to know that sam was lying . johnny : interesting . carly : what 's interesting ? johnny : well , you 're telling me that sam ca n't stand the idea of any other woman in jason 's life , right ? carly : she ca n't . johnny : but from where i 'm standing , you 're the one with that problem . carly : what are you talking about ? wait a second . i 'm just looking out for a friend here . sam : and sam is just looking out for her husband . carly : no . no , she 's not , because if she knew jason half as well as i know jason , she would have never lied to him to begin with . johnny : even if she thought it would save his life ? carly : even if . because sam did the one thing that jason ca n't tolerate . johnny : what , withhold information ? carly : manage him . it 's the way the quartermaines treated jason after his first accident , like he was n't capable of making his own decisions , and he ca n't stand it . johnny : i can see how that would grate on you . carly : that 's an understatement . he did n't talk to them for years because of it . johnny : do n't you think there 's a little bit of a difference ? sam is jason 's wife . carly : it wo n't matter to jason . all he 'll see is the lie . sam : i was gon na tell you . i was just waiting for the right time . jason : oh , the right time ? how about all the times i asked to see robin ? none of those times were right ? after the explosion , you went to see if anybody was hurt . you came back . you said everything was fine , but you already knew that robin was dead . sam : i found patrick outside the lab . he tried to go back in , but it was already too late . jason : so you came back and you lied to me . sam : you were dying , jason . seizure after seizure , and always when you were upset . how many times did patrick say that i had to keep you calm ? how calm would you have been if i told you about robin ? jason : robin died because she went back into the lab for me . sam : , yes , jason . if you had died , it would have been for nothing . another reason why i did n't tell you . aside from the fact that i did n't want to lose my husband , i wanted to make sure that robin 's sacrifice was worth it . jason : it was n't . sam : robin would have wanted you to be a father . she would have wanted you to be a part of our child 's life . jason : robin had people to live for , too . sam : yes , i know . i know , jason . i am so sorry . you have to understand that i was so scared . i did n't -- i did n't know what to do . i mean , the thought of losing you -- this baby growing up without feeling your arms around him or -- or her , never feeling your heartbeat or never knowing what it 's like to feel loved by you . i 'm sorry , jason . i could n't live with that . i made the only choice that i knew how . jason : it was n't your choice to make . patrick : i was wrong . there 's no excuse . there 's no explanation . anna : right . yeah . no , you 've told me . robin went off to africa . you guys were fighting . she practically brought it on herself . you know , if you love emma the way that you claim , why would you cheat on her mother ? why would you risk destroying your family , patrick ? god ! patrick : emma is my number - one priority . i will do everything in my power to make sure she is happy and safe and that she knows how much her mother loved her . anna : i 'm sure you believe that , just the way you did believe your marriage vows . you are very quick with the promises but sorely lacking in the follow- through . patrick : you 're angry , anna . anna : i am so angry ! patrick : yeah , and i get that . if somebody cheated on emma , i would rip their head off . but robin and i -- we worked through this . anna : well , i have n't . i just sat through my daughter 's funeral . i want to think of her in my head as being happy , always laughing , having a good life . now i have to see her in pain , because of something that you did . patrick : yeah , and i have to live with that for the rest of my life . do you understand that ? every minute wasted , because -- because lisa tried to -- tried to save robin from lisa getting rid of her . anna : what did this woman do ? what ? patrick : you would n't -- you would n't believe me if i even told you . anna : try me . patrick : lisa stalked robin . she -- she kidnapped emma . she sabotaged our gas line . she held us at gunpoint . i could go on . anna : oh , stop it . stop it . patrick : i did everything i could to protect my family . anna : yeah ? what , by sleeping with a homicidal maniac ? i ca n't believe robin did n't tell me any of this . patrick : [ sniffles ] she -- she did n't want to worry you . anna : why did n't she just pack emma up and bring her to london ? patrick : 'cause robin 's life is here . emma : but emma 's her priority -- your priority . patrick : robin would never take emma away from me . anna : i do n't have the same reservations if it means keeping emma safe -- let me tell you that right now . patrick : do n't even think about it . lisa is dead , and she 's never gon na hurt our family again . connie : does seeing me like this make you miss connie at all ? sonny : well , you know , connie will always have a place in my heart , even though she broke it into a million pieces . connie : it must have been really hard waiting on that street corner . never showed . sonny : not the best day of my life . connie : you wish you never met her ? sonny : well , i think she made the right choice . i mean , you know , she did n't really have a future . kate did . kate went to college . she , you know , worked her way up in the magazine . she became the woman she wanted to be , and that 's why we 're together right now . but i will say this -- i loved connie falconeri , but i 'm in love -- with kate howard . connie : i think you need to leave . johnny : you know , i think i 've finally realized why you 're spending so much time here . you want to make jason jealous , do n't you ? carly : [ laughs ] while he 's at the hospital , unconscious half the time , i 'm here to make him jealous ? johnny : well , come on . admit it . you would love it if jason forgot all about sam and put all of his focus onto you . carly : i do n't have to play games to get jason 's attention . johnny : what would you call crashing his honeymoon ? carly : necessary . i had to keep josslyn safe from franco . johnny : and jason is the only person in the world who can do that ? carly : everything franco does is to get jason 's attention , so , yes , jason is the only person who could keep josslyn safe . johnny : okay . and this bond between you and jason -- it 's forever ? i mean , god help anybody who tries to get in the middle of it ? carly : pretty much . johnny : hmm . all right . never mind the fact that he 's married ? carly : oh , come on . [ chuckles ] sam just proved tonight that she does n't understand jason at all . johnny : [ chuckles ] not like you do , right ? carly : hey . there was a time when jason was the only thing good in my life . johnny : and how about now ? carly : now i think i have other reasons to smile . johnny : oh , really ? carly : mm - hmm . sam : you 're angry that i lied -- jason : no , i 'm angry because you kept lying . after the procedure , you knew i was okay . sam : i knew you were alive , jason , and i wanted to keep it that way . jason : monica said i was fine . sam : monica backed me up when i did n't want to tell you about robin . everyone wanted -- jason : yeah , everybody was in on it , right ? ! molly , alexis . sam : yes , they all knew . they knew , but i begged them , jason , not to tell you . jason : so the only one who told me the truth was carly . sam : yeah , your good friend carly , who did n't care if she risked your life . she did n't care if you died . jason : carly could n't stand robin . she told me because i had the right to know . sam : she told you because she was proving a point . as always , she thinks she knows you better than i do . jason : maybe she does . | carly tells jason that robin is dead and that sam would n't let her tell him . jason wonders why patrick did the procedure after robin had died . carly says patrick did it for robin . jason wonders why robin went back in the lab if she was already out . carly tells him robin went back in to get his medicine . she tells him the funeral is today . he says he has to go there . sam returns to jason 's room and finds carly in there but jason is gone . carly tells johnny about her visit with jason . she gloats that jason will now see sam for who she really is . johnny wonders if carly 's intention is to help jason or to hurt sam . she says sam ca n't stand the idea of any other women in jason 's life . johnny says it seems that carly is the one with that problem . she says sam tried to manage jason and that 's the one thing that he hates the most . she predicts that jason will never see past it . he says he thinks she has been spending so much time with him to make jason jealous . jason arrives to the church , but the service has already ended and no one is there . sam follows him . he asks her how she could do that to him and why she did n't tell him that robin was dead . she says she was waiting for the right time . she says that patrick told her to keep jason calm . she tells him that if he had died , robin 's sacrifice would have been in vain . he says robin 's sacrifice was n't worth it . she says she made the only choice she knew how . he tells her that it was n't her choice to make . she says carly only told him to try to prove that she knows him better than she does without regard to whether she was risking his life by doing so . jason says that maybe carly does know him better . |
mcbain : all i did was mess up your life . sam : well , maybe i 'm the one who messed up yours . mcbain : no . i did that all on my own . sam : will you stop that ? stop . stop standing here , acting like everything is your fault when it 's not . john , look at me . mcbain : i ca n't . sam : look at me , please . you 're a good man . [ scene_break ] todd : stop fighting with yourself .... the real is just so much better than the imaginary . carly : just shut up and kiss me , you jackass .

[ scene_break ] scott : i 've been in love with laura since i was 17 years old . lucy : okay , then marry her . marry the heck out of her right now before she finds out that luke and anna have broken up . you have to marry her now . scott : she may not want some quickie wedding . if i recall , there was quite a number of people watching her marry that string bean . lucy : oh , scott , that was 1981 . everybody was a lot younger , had a lot more hair , but she had her big wedding . you already caught the bouquet . it 's done . let 's move on . scott : my point is that she may want some big hullabaloo , not some cheesy courthouse wedding . lucy : okay , then it 's your job to convince her she wants a cheesy -- it wo n't be cheesy , but a courthouse wedding . talk to her because it 's only a matter of time before she figures out that they did break up and that luke 's available , and then i know you 're worried you and laura will be kaputs . [ scene_break ] laura : luke and anna broke up ? are you sure ? lulu : yeah , positive . he just told me . i mean , that 's -- that 's what we were talking about when you walked in . okay , i have to ask . does it matter to you if dad 's available ? olivia : ooh . look what i found outside the door . lulu : whoa ! olivia : it is addressed to the new mama . lulu : me ! olivia : there you go . lulu : oh , my gosh . look at this . [ laughs ] oh . it 's from aunt bobbie . wow . luke : hold it . do n't -- do n't -- do n't touch it . dante : why not ? luke : i do n't think that 's from barbara . um , hello . lulu : what makes you think that this is n't from bobbie ? it says on here , `` i 'm sorry i ca n't be there to share -- `` luke : i do n't care what it says on the card . was there a deliveryman ? did you sign for it ? was there a receipt ? olivia : well , no , but your sister probably ordered it online . i think you 're lucky to get a type - written card . it 's usually just a sentence on a packing slip or something . you guys , seriously , is this such a big deal ? laura : uh , well , it 's just that luke and i collected a lot of enemies in the past . dante : come on , you 're telling me this is someone who wants revenge ? olivia : like who ? luke : well , top of my list would be helena cassadine . and a close second would be scott baldwin . [ scene_break ] scott : so , as usual , your screwy logic makes sense . i got to marry laura lickety - split . lucy : uh , yeah , right , and that 's not gon na happen here . scott : i need a marriage license . lucy : you need to get one . scott : yeah . do you think that -- the courthouse is open late on mondays . do you think we can make it there -- lucy : it does n't matter . no door is ever closed to lucy coe . scott : you 're the greatest . lucy : thank you . let 's go .

[ scene_break ] starr : out of all the people you could possibly give credit to for reviving pickle - lila , you choose lucy coe ? michael : well , if she had n't flipped out about the whole vampire -- starr : okay , do n't even start . michael : ... vampire - obsessed maniac john mcbain look - alike , then her shrink husband , dr. kevin collins , would never have come back to port charles , hypnotized ellie , and get her to remember the missing ingredient . so , it all comes back to lucy . starr : okay , that is a bit of a stretch , but as long as you 're happy , then i ca n't argue . michael : well , aj 's the one that 's gon na be happy . he got what he really wanted -- the recipe for pickle - lila . [ scene_break ] mcbain : you okay ? sam : yeah . no . no , i - i - i do n't know -- i do n't know -- i do n't know if i can do this . mcbain : then maybe we should n't .

[ sighs ] some things are out of your control , so you have to improvise , and that 's what we did . michael : wh - wh - where do we go from here ? patrick : that 's up to aj -- how he responds . we 'll keep a close eye on him . we 'll move him back to his room momentarily . i 'm gon na go get cleaned up , and i 'll be back once aj 's settled . tracy : is n't that just like a doctor -- come in here , drop a bomb , and then vanish , leaving a million unanswered questions ? ! monica : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] tracy : monica , you wait here . i 'm gon na go get patrick back here . michael : [ sighs ] morgan : hey , mike , are you -- you all right , man ? michael : no , not really . morgan : well , how -- how can i -- how can i help out ? michael : [ sniffles ] nothing . nothing . it 's fine . morgan : come on . are you sure you do n't -- michael : yeah . look , you should go , all right ? you 've been here all morning and all night . morgan : what ? no , man . i 'm not -- i can hang out . it 's fi -- it 's totally fine . michael : it 's okay . i 'm gon na stay here and wait for aj , and i 'll let you know if anything changes . morgan : all right . hey ... i will be back here the second you need me , okay ? michael : okay . thank you . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny ... we have no choice but to consider our next move . if aj 's surgery is a success , when he wakes up , he will identify you as the shooter . we ca n't let that happen . we have to do something . sonny : like what ? ava : ever since the day connie wrote those initials in her own blood , you have been living on borrowed time . all i 'm doing is helping nature take its course . ava : the only thing we can do . we have to finish aj off . [ scene_break ] britt : [ sighs ] lulu : britt ? elizabeth : so , you 're gon na be okay in here by yourself for a bit ? you 're not gon na wander off ? cameron : i 'm good to go . this should do nicely . elizabeth : for what ? cameron : my campaign to win emma back . elizabeth : oh , honey , i know ric was encouraging you , but i do n't know if it 's a good idea . cameron : ric said i should n't give up just because emma says she likes spencer . i have to fight for her . elizabeth : okay . cameron : so , i 'm gon na use my greatest , most powerful weapon . elizabeth : dare i ask ? cameron : mom , my art ! once emma gets my latest creation , spencer wo n't stand a chance . [ scene_break ] kiki : ugh ! okay , okay . for the sake of family peace , i will forget your advances , and i will tell morgan to forget about them , too , if you agree to keep your hands to yourself . luke : or i could find us a nice , dark corner , and i could blow your mind . i promise i wo n't even make you work for it when you come begging for more . kiki : you are revolting . luke : revulsion can be a route to ecstasy . why you want to hang out with that wet - behind - the - ears kid when you have a full - grown man with experience and technique offering himself to you ? no strings attached . kiki : you are engaged ! luke : i 'm engaged . i 'm not dead . besides , everybody likes a little hot sauce on the side . kiki : eww .

[ door opens ] tj : no , it is n't . my place is with her . [ scene_break ] julian : did you ask me here on business or for , uh , some other reason ? alexis : other . julian : hmm . because last time we saw each other , you could n't wait to get rid of me . alexis : well , that 's not true . molly was giving me a whole lot of grief . julian : but no longer ? alexis : well , she 's cut down to a few kinds of grief . julian : well , you got rid of molly , so we could be alone . [ inhales deeply ] so , message received . alexis : easy . actually , i came to extend an invitation . julian : i know . alexis : my nephew is having an engagement party , and i 'd like you to come as my date . julian : so , you want to go out with me to a party ? alexis : a party -- correct -- you know , where people drink and they have stilted conversations . julian : oh , where we 'd be seen together -- in public , on a date , socially . alexis : that 's exactly my point . i do n't want to go alone , and i thought it would be nice to go with you . julian : well , sounds reasonable enough . so , uh , why do i get the feeling you 've got an ulterior motive ? [ scene_break ] ava : after you shot aj , you refused to put another bullet in him . sonny : do n't push me on this . ava : we -- we do n't have the luxury of letting aj live . if he regains consciousness , i 'll be in as much trouble as you are . sonny : how do you figure ? aj : so , what , that 's -- that 's it ? you 're just gon na shoot me in cold blood , like you killed connie ? ava : killing connie happened in the moment . there really was n't any time to think . sadly , aj , your death has been in the cards for quite a while . sonny : i 'm the one who shot aj . if he wakes up , i 'm going down -- not you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : patrick , is aj 's surgery over ? patrick : yes . elizabeth : well , how is he ? patrick : he 's in a coma , and i think it 's my fault . [ scene_break ] nurse : you can go in now . monica : thank you . [ monitor beeping ] monica : oh , my son . my boy . michael : aj . dad , i am sorry . this is my fault . i did this to you . [ beeping continues ] [ scene_break ] ava : i may not have pulled the trigger , but aj will say that i was involved . the moment we left him bleeding out on the floor , i became an accessory , and i conspired with you to cover up the shooting and put the blame on julian . i am in this up to my neck . morgan : in what up to your neck ? [ scene_break ] lulu : britt , i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to startle you . britt : [ chuckles ] there 's a lot of that going around . lulu : pardon ? britt : uh , never mind . what are you doing here ? lulu : i was just ironing out some kinks with the engagement party . do n't worry . everything is fine . and now i 'm heading home to change . britt : thank you so much , lulu . i mean , you 've done so much for this party . i really do n't deserve this . lulu : please . this is the least i could do . you are one wedding ceremony away from being my sister . britt : you really feel that way ? lulu : yes . i - i want us to be close -- not just because of nikolas but because of ben , too . as his stepmother ... i 'll practically be your understudy as far as ben 's concerned . britt : [ chuckles ] right . lulu : anyway , i will see you tonight ! i 'm really excited about the party ! i think this is going to be a night that you will never forget . britt : i 'm sure it will be . lulu : oh , um ... did you want me to toss that on my way out ? britt : toss what ? lulu : the envelope that you were about to burn when i came in . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : patrick , wait . wait . aj 's in a coma ? patrick : monica asked if i made a mistake . she thinks that we should have been able to control the -- the swelling . elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay . um , monica is the mom . she 's in no position to look at the surgery objectively . and if it had been any other patient , monica would be the first to say that aneurysms are unpredictable and any number of things could go wrong in a surgery , but you are a great surgeon . you are not to blame . patrick : no , i am to blame if i 'm too distracted to do my job . you saw me , elizabeth . you tried to warn me . elizabeth : i , um -- i had my concerns , but you said you were okay . and -- and you were . i would n't have let you operate otherwise . patrick : you could n't stop me , because i was determined to prove a point . if robin 's gon na leave her family behind to do her job , then i sure as hell can stay here to do mine , right ? i know better to bring that garbage into the or . i mean , what if monica 's right ? what if i 'm responsible for aj 's condition ? [ scene_break ] michael : i made a horrible mistake . dr. drake said we did n't have to operate . then you said you did n't think that surgery was the best treatment , but i did it anyway . monica : no , no . patrick said that both options came with a lot of risk . you -- you made your decision on faith , based on the information you had , michael . michael : still , my decision put aj in a coma . it 's my fault . he trusted me to make the right choice , and i failed . monica : no . it 's not your fault . it 's not your fault . [ scene_break ] morgan : what 's , uh -- what 's going on , dad ? what are you doing here ? ava : we were talking about julian . i 'm afraid i may have tipped my hand . morgan : how ? ava : i walked in on him a bit earlier , and he was here with sonny 's brother , ric . sonny : they dropped the charges on julian . i do n't even know why those two were talking , you know , but it does n't matter . ava : they claimed it was gallery business . i waited for ric to leave , and then i asked julian , `` is it ric that is funding our operation ? `` sonny : and ? ava : well , he denied it . but then julian is in no mood to be forthcoming with me . sonny : well , that 's all right , 'cause alexis may succeed where you failed . [ scene_break ] alexis : what possible ulterior motive could i have for simply asking you to a party ? julian : i 'm at a loss . alexis : well , then , maybe you should think twice before making accusations of deceit . julian : [ chuckles ] see , in my line of work , it pays to be skeptical . alexis : oh . so , now i 'm work ? julian : mm . effort , not work . now , come on , alexis . can you deny that i have reason to wonder ? i mean , this is quite a turnaround . and are n't you worried about what people will say -- people like , oh , i do n't know , sonny ? alexis : sonny ? julian : well , i do n't think sonny would approve of his attorney being seen out on the town with his sworn enemy . alexis : sonny has no control over my personal life , which , apparently , you want no part of . that 's all right , though . no , i can just ask somebody else . maybe i 'll ask my ex . maybe he 's free . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] shawn : i think introductions are in order . jordan , this is molly lansing- davis . molly , this is jordan ashford . jordan : i 'm thomas ' mother . you 're very pretty , molly . molly : oh . thank you . i love your hair . it 's so nice to meet you . tj : do n't jump to conclusions . you do n't know anything about her yet . molly : well , i know i would n't have you if it were n't for mrs. ashford , so that makes her okay in my book . tj : oh , yeah ? well , she wants to take me back to maryland with her . does that make her so decent now ? molly : what ? ! jordan : this is a family decision , molly . tj : you have n't been my family for two years . shawn has . ca n't you do something about this ? [ scene_break ] tracy : kiki , michael was asking for you . wandering off sort of defeats the purpose of offering support . kiki : did something happen ? tracy : aj 's out of surgery . kiki : how did it go ? tracy : there were complications . he 's in a coma . kiki : i have to get to michael . luke : well , i guess we should get to the family . tracy : uh . first , i want to know what 's going on . [ scene_break ] shawn : can i , um , speak with you alone ? jordan : my mind is made up , shawn . shawn : tj has made a life for himself here , thanks to you . jordan : if that was supposed to be a compliment , it 's not gon na work . shawn : well , you knew he 'd be better off here than with you in maryland , and you were right . you just ca n't come snatch him away from that life with no regard for the consequences . jordan : right now i 'm thinking about the consequences for thomas if he does stay and gets even more wrapped up with sonny corinthos ' business . shawn : look , that 's not gon na happen , okay ? why are you pushing this ? going to maryland is n't what tj wants . jordan : he 's a child . i do n't care what he wants . shawn : [ sighs ] do you care about what he thinks of you ? because if you insist on taking tj back with you , i 'll have to tell him exactly why you unloaded him on me in the first place . jordan : [ chuckles ] are you blackmailing me ? shawn : call it what you want . jordan : why do you care so much ? shawn : because i care about tj . now , what 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] julian : so , you 're going to ask shawn to the party ? alexis : not that ex . no , another ex -- you know , ric lansing , the one i sent to spring you from jail . julian : mm . yeah , i know who ric is . i just do n't know why you would want to go to a social function with him . you know , i got the impression that your marriage did n't end well . alexis : well , we 've since made peace , and he 's a known quantity , so he 'll be a perfect date . julian : oh . alexis : what are you doing ? julian : stopping you . you ca n't get involved with that man . alexis : really ? why not ? [ scene_break ] luke : uh , look , i do n't want to get into this now . let 's focus on your family . tracy : just tell me -- why was she hanging around you ? luke : do n't know . do n't care . tracy : i care . that girl has been nothing but trouble since she first darkened the quartermaines ' doorstep . i spent months believing that she was my father 's heir , and then when she was exposed as a fraud , she started hanging around michael , and now she 's hanging around you ! luke : okay . tracy : why ? luke : okay . [ sighs ] just do n't say anything to michael about it , you know ? that poor kid has been through enough . tracy : luke , say anything about what ? ! luke : the truth is kiki 's been hitting on me . [ scene_break ] kiki : michael . michael : aj 's in trouble . monica : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i asked alexis to help us . she 's gon na try to , um , get julian to tell her if he and ric are working together . morgan : okay . well , do you think she 's gon na have any luck ? sonny : well , alexis is julian 's weak spot , so she can get his guard down , get -- you know , get the goods , but it 's not gon na mean anything if julian knows that we 're working together . did n't i tell you that you guys should , you know -- there should be some distance here ? morgan : yeah , yeah , yeah . you did , but i just left the hospital . i thought i should let ava know what 's up with aj . that 's all . sonny : what happened ? morgan : he 's -- he 's out of surgery . ava : and ? morgan : and , you know , it did n't go well . there was a complication , and he 's in a coma . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : from the sound of things , you did exactly what you were supposed to . if you had continued to try to repair the aneurysm without dealing with the swelling , then aj could have ended up brain - damaged or worse . patrick : i wish i could be sure of that . i really do . but the truth is without robin on my mind , maybe i make a quicker , better decision . elizabeth : do n't say that . patrick : elizabeth , look , i 've -- i 've got to go pick up emma and bring her to this party at wyndemere . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] britt : oh , i was , uh , just using this junk mail to start a fire . it gets a little drafty in here sometimes , do n't you think ? lulu : oh , yeah . you know , i can help you . my dad taught me how to -- britt : oh , no , it 's okay . i got it . thanks , though . i 'll see you in a few hours , right ? lulu : sure thing .

morgan : hey . ready to get started ? kiki : oh . you 're raring to go this morning . morgan : uh , yeah , because the sooner we make michael look unfit , the sooner we get our sister away from him . kiki : are you sure the best way to do that is to prove that michael inherited his family 's addiction ? morgan : i 'm sorry . wait . i thought you were -- i thought you were on board with operation alcoholic ? kiki : i 'm on board with getting avery back . morgan : okay , then . kiki : i 'm just not sure how . it 's not like we can invite michael to join us on a pub crawl . we 're , like , the last two people on earth he 'd want to get wasted with . morgan : but rosalie 's not .

[ scene_break ] anna : how much do you know about duke 's standing with the corinthos organization ? olivia : [ sighs ] well , uh ... i mean , nothing i could testify to in court . anna : oh . no , i 'm not gon na call you as a witness . i just want to know how much i have to explain to you . olivia : i try to keep my nose out of business that does n't concern me . anna : nevertheless , you are aware that when sonny was taken to pentonville , duke agreed to take over the business for him . olivia : mm - hmm . anna : and now that sonny 's embroiled in this custody fight , he wants to be squeaky clean , so ... duke is still in charge . just add that to the list , i suppose . olivia : what list ? anna : oh , god , just the many ways that i despise the fact that duke is involved with the corinthos mob . i mean , i know that sonny is dante 's father . but you wisely elected to keep that fact from him , and thereby , you saved him from a lot of the danger that comes with that way of life . olivia : i tried , anyway . anna : well , the other corinthos children have been less fortunate . the pcpd has extensive files on the ways that their lives have been harmed by sonny 's job . and now michael , you know , he steps up , and he 's trying to save his baby sister from the same fate . and what is sonny 's response ? he misrepresents himself in court as a legitimate businessman . and then duke , of course , you know , he tries to perpetuate that lie , and he presents sonny as this ... safe and stable father , which , of course , he most definitely is not . olivia : so you think it 's okay to keep a baby from a mob daddy even if it means you got to tell some lies to do it ? anna : i think ... any parent has to do whatever is necessary to protect their child . [ scene_break ] nikolas : spencer , listen to me . we still do n't know exactly what happened . spencer : what else is there to know ? cameron was the one who started the fire at my party , and now i 'm disfigured for life . sam : hey , spencer , buddy , come on . nikolas : hey , hey . listen . stop . i do n't want to hear any more talk like that , all right ? as for cameron , all elizabeth said is that he thinks he may have knocked something into the candle when he was getting his gift bag , and if that 's the case , it was an accident . spencer : for one , i do n't believe that . second , he did this on purpose . [ scene_break ] jake : given recent events , uh ... i 'm uniquely qualified to empathize with cameron . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jake : i know what it 's like to have done damage you did n't intend to do . elizabeth : yeah . jake : so i imagine the guilt 's eating him up . poor little guy . he thought he was gon na get arrested . elizabeth : yeah . i had to explain to him that that was n't going to happen . jake : sounds like it was a legitimate accident . elizabeth : but the thing is , it 's not the first time he 's gotten into trouble with fire . a few years ago , he was playing with matches , and he lit the house on fire , and i ... jake : well , that sounds terrifying . elizabeth : my baby jake , was -- he was trapped inside ... i managed to get everyone out , but to say it haunted me afterwards is ... jake : i can imagine . elizabeth : i mean , we all could 've died . you know , one little mistake , and i could 've lost all my boys . [ scene_break ] lulu : i know that spinelli being around has made you question things . maxie : just a little . lulu : and you 're probably wondering if what 's best for all of you is to be a conventional family . maxie : i knew you would get it . look , i -- i keep thinking about all the times i missed frisco -- you know , like the christmases and birthdays and dance recitals that i never heard from him . but i had mac . i mean , thank god for mac . he was the most wonderful , amazing father anyone could ask for . but no matter what , i -- i always missed my real dad , and i do n't want georgie to ever feel that way . lulu : okay . spinelli is nothing like frisco . just because you guys are n't together does not mean that he wo n't be a loving and doting dad . maxie : but what if spinelli and i were together ? i mean , would n't that be what was best for georgie ? and does n't the fact that spinelli is georgie 's father put huge points in his favor ? lulu : not if you do n't love spinelli . you ca n't make georgie the reason you 're together . that 's not fair to her . maxie : i do love spinelli . lulu : but you just said that you love nathan . maxie : i love him , too . i love them both . [ scene_break ] nathan : mr. corinthos -- call me sonny . nathan : sonny ... yeah . look , i understand your friendship with spinelli , but i 'm well within my rights to want him gone . sonny : because of maxie ? nathan : yes , because of maxie . he has been interfering in our relationship since the moment he showed up . sonny : it 's complicated . nathan : yeah . you 're telling me . and maxie 's so confused , she 's spinning . meanwhile , we 're doing fine until he shows up . we 're committed 100 % , and now -- spinelli : apologies for shaking things up . but maximista is the mother of my child . nathan : i get that . i really do . but that does not mean that she 's supposed to be with you . spinelli : oh , i see . so she 's meant to be with you ? nathan : i think so . and i think she thinks so , too , if you 'd just give her some space . look , if you cared about maxie the way you say you do , then you 'd just go and let her move on with her life . sonny : you know what ? i understand your position . but obviously , spinelli does n't -- spinelli : actually , on the contrary ... i have no problem with that plan . [ scene_break ] kiki : what the hell is this ? sabrina : a baby in a stroller . kiki : no . that 's not just any baby . that is my little sister . ugh . did michael actually hire you ? sabrina : yes . i 'm aj 's nanny . kiki : that name -- i swear , if i hear it one more time -- sabrina : i 'm going to call her what her guardian wants her to be called . kiki : her guardian has lost his mind . hiring the woman who tried to kill my sister to be her nanny ? sabrina : my goal was n't to hurt aj . kiki : hello . you tried to induce premature labor . sabrina : i know . but my focus was hurting your mother because of what i thought she 'd done to my son . kiki : oh . okay . yeah . that makes everything better . sabrina : okay , kiki , i promise you , i 'm better now . i would never , ever hurt your sister . if anything , i 'll be working overtime to make it up to her . kiki : you should n't be working with her at all . you should n't be allowed anywhere near her . you are a psycho . sabrina : okay . so , clearly , this conversation is n't gon na get us anywhere . let 's go have coffee somewhere else , yeah ? kiki : no . you 're not going anywhere with my little sister . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay . maxie : okay ? lulu : you love two different men at the same time . maxie : yeah , then , now do you see why i need your advice ? lulu : let 's not panic . maxie : no , lulu , i 'm beyond panicking , okay ? i 'm , like , channeling my mother here . i ca n't choose between my ex and my boyfriend ? lulu : okay . this is a hiccup , yes . it 's not the end of the world . we can figure it out . maxie : we can . lulu : okay , first things first ... maxie : ooh ! a plan ! lulu : yeah , okay . do not tell nathan that you love spinelli . you told nathan that you love spinelli ? ! [ gasps ] maxie : look , he asked me point - blank if i was holding something back . lulu : so ? ! maxie : so is n't , like , the most important thing in a relationship to be honest ? lulu : not that honest ! maxie : what did you want me to do ? lulu : lie ! lie ! it 's one of your best events ! maxie : hey ! lulu : that way , you could 've at least bought yourself some time ! maxie : okay . well , great . all right , next time i find myself in the situation where i love two men at the same time , i 'll remember that . but our current reality is nathan knows . lulu : okay . regroup . regroup . deep breaths . maxie : is this for you or for me ? lulu : okay . wait . what happened when you told nathan ? did he get angry ? maxie : i would n't say he was angry , but he was definitely upset . lulu : and then what happened ? maxie : he walked out of here , and i have n't see him since then . i really hope he does n't run into spinelli . [ scene_break ] nathan : so you see where i 'm coming from . sonny : are you serious ? you 're gon na just bow out , just like that , spinelli ? spinelli : okay , but for the record , your steadfast support means the world to me , m - mr . corinthos , sir . and to clarify , detective west , this problem is not going away . you want maxie , i want maxie , and since we both ca n't have her at the same time , this situation needs to be resolved . nathan : i agree . sonny : and by doing that , you think that you 're just gon na give up the fight ? spinelli : no , no , i am not . [ chuckles ] i am not giving up . nathan : yeah , but you just said -- spinelli : oh , i said that i 'd leave , yes . and i will , on one condition . [ scene_break ] morgan : okay , okay . what 's going on ? huh ? kiki : what does it look like ? sabrina here is trying to leave this restaurant with our baby sister like it 's normal , like it 's not the most insane situation i 've ever encountered . sabrina : i 'm not sure what to do . kiki : well , you could start by speaking as though i 'm actually in the room . morgan : okay . as much as we hate it , michael is avery 's legal guardian , okay ? kiki : for now . and if we ever want to see her again , then we 're not gon na give michael any ammunition against us . kiki : fine . go . sabrina : thank you . morgan : kiki : mm - hmm . you 're welcome . but just so you know , sabrina , this is not over . [ scene_break ] michael : all right , calm down , tracy . is this about the 15.5 % you turned over to jerry jacks ? that 's old news at this point . tracy : no , it 's not . just listen to me . i got ahold of skye . i wanted to know if she 'd had any contact with luke . michael : had she ? tracy : no , not recently . however , a few months ago , luke conned her out of her 16.5 % , and i have no idea what he 's done with it . michael : and skye 's just telling someone about this now ? tracy : yeah . no , why should she warn the family she swears she 's a part of ? but look , the point is that luke is in cahoots with jerry jacks and helena cassadine . what if that 32 % is in the hands of the cassadines ? rosalie : crap , crap , crap , crap , crap , crap . [ scene_break ] nikolas : what makes you think cameron started the fire on purpose ? spencer : do i really need to spell it out ? nikolas : i guess so . spencer : pyromania is cameron 's hobby . the only thing he likes more than playing with origami is playing with matches . and you know it . i do n't hear anyone denying it . that little pyro wanted me out of the way . emma : spencer , that 's not fair . spencer : cameron hates me . patrick : i think `` hate `` is a pretty strong word . spencer : well , it fits . emma : maybe you and cameron do n't get along , but i 'm sure he would never hurt you on purpose . spencer : ca n't you see ? we 're finally together , and cameron ca n't stand it . he could n't just let me be happy .

[ scene_break ] anna : oh , the first six years of robin 's life were just this -- this tapestry of lies . olivia : mm . anna : you know ? she did n't even know i was her mother . she thought i was ... a friend of the family ... named `` love . `` i desperately wanted to raise my daughter , of course , but i was involved in an extremely dangerous business , and ... her safety was -- was much more important than my need to be with her . olivia : i hear you . i do . when you 're the parent , it is on you to make the tough choices that you need to make to keep your kid safe . anna : that 's why i have absolutely no sympathy for sonny , because if he truly loved his daughter , he would do what was best for her . he would hand her right over to michael with his thanks . olivia : yeah , that ai n't gon na happen . look ... anna , i loved sonny . and a part of me ... always will , but ... men like that , they do not see the harm that they are doing to the children . they just feel this need to hang on to whatever 's theirs . anna : must be a great relief for you . olivia : hmm ? anna : to be having a child with a stable father like ned . olivia : trust me . i thank god every day that ned ashton is the father of this baby . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : not something i say very often , but carly 's right . ric and i are through . jake : you okay ? elizabeth : yeah . i mean , i 'm sad about it , but it 's for the best . we just were n't -- we were n't meant to be . and especially after that stunt he pulled with you ... jake : yeah , i hope you did n't end things on my account . elizabeth : truthfully ... i kind of did . [ scene_break ] kiki : i just can not believe that the woman who almost forced our sister into this world way too early is now one of her primary caregivers . morgan : okay , but our focus needs to be on getting avery away from michael , so that means we stick to the plan , and i need you to help me out . how do we make michael look like an alcoholic , kiki ? kiki : i ca n't . morgan : you ca n't what ? kiki : i ca n't think about that right now . all i can see is sabrina switching my mom 's medication and sending her into premature labor . morgan : that 's it . you 're a genius , kiki . okay .

[ elevator door opens ] [ scene_break ] maxie : well ? lulu : well what ? maxie : well , i do n't know if i made myself clear , but i did n't call you over here just because i needed you to listen to me talk about some incredibly confusing situation , which i really do appreciate . but you know what i would appreciate more ? you helping me come up with a plan to deal with this . lulu : ugh ! um ... i 'm thinking . maxie : think harder . lulu : [ snaps fingers ] i 've got it . we do n't need a plan , 'cause we already have one . maxie : details . lulu : you said that you feel like your mother , right -- unable to choose between your boyfriend and your ex . maxie : yeah . lulu : felicia searched her soul , and she chose mac . that is what you need to do . you need to look into your heart , and you need to make a decision -- nathan or spinelli ? maxie : what if my heart does n't know ? [ scene_break ] nathan : okay . i 'll bite . what 's the condition ? spinelli : i hereby challenge you to a duel ! nathan : a what ? sonny : w - w - w - what -- what 'd you say ? spinelli : a duel -- of -- of sorts . sonny : a duel ? spinelli : and if i am defeated , i will graciously leave town and clear the path for you and maxie to be together . nathan : okay . and if you win ? spinelli : you will agree to do the same . nathan : this is a real proposal . you actually mean this . spinelli : with all the sincerity in my heart . nathan : okay . so , what kind of duel are we talking about here ? you talking pistols at dawn , or ... ? spinelli : there is no sport where firearms are involved . no offense . sonny : no offense taken . spinelli : no . uh ... we will use no other weapons besides our fists , donned in large , cushy mitts . nathan : oh , you do n't -- you do n't mean ... spinelli : yes , we will duke it out for maxie 's affection in this here ring ! [ scene_break ] lulu : it may not seem like it now , but your heart does know . maxie : no . my heart is flighty , like me . it 's bad at making decisions . lulu : maxie , you make decisions all the time . maxie : sure , about what shoes to wear and if metallics are in or not , but life - altering decisons ? mnh - mnh . lulu : are you saying that metallics are n't life - altering ? maxie : look , back when my heart was bj 's , i was able to make more sense of this kind of thing , but it 's been in my body for a while now , okay ? and it 's completely confused . lulu : well , you 're right about one thing . after all this time , your heart is like you . it 's bold , brave , compassionate , and wise . it has the answer . we 're gon na figure this out . maxie : you think so ? lulu : when have i ever been wrong ? maxie : you do n't really want me to answer that , do you ? lulu : no . maxie : i love you . lulu : me , too . you . aww . [ scene_break ] nathan : you want a boxing match . spinelli : yeah . apropos , given our current surroundings , eh ? and what better way to determining who 's more deserving of maximista . sonny : a crossword puzzle , maybe trivia . i do n't know . spinelli : neither would aptly convey t - t - t - the physical strain of my yearning , you see . nathan : you sure you want to do this . the guy outweighs you like 50 pounds . spinelli : absolutely . i am sure . and you 'd be the first to admit that boxing is about far more than just muscle , right ? there 's a tremendous amount of skill involved . floating like a butterfly , stinging like a bee , as it were ? ! right ? and they do call it the sweet science . sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : do they not ? named because the practitioners must combine physical prowess with mental acuity . sonny : uh , i would n't put it that way . spinelli : the best boxers are a combination of brains and brawns ! sonny : some of them , yeah . spinelli : right . and my mental prowess far exceeds that of detective west . sonny : yes . that 's very true . spinelli : right ! so let the best man win , as they say ! unless you have any objections . nathan : oh , oh . i got plenty . [ scene_break ] morgan : the whole switching medication thing just gave me an idea , because i think we should do to michael what sabrina did to your mom . kiki : you want to send michael into premature labor ? morgan : no . okay , look . we switch his meds . we switch it with something that reacts badly to alcohol . so the next time michael goes and knocks a few back , we 'll have no problem making him look like a drunk . drunk michael looks like an unfit guardian . unfit michael loses custody of avery . voilá ! avery 's back where she belongs . kiki : so basically , you want to drug your brother . morgan : i know how that sounds ; but , i mean , do you have a better idea ? kiki : no . morgan : okay , then there 's no other option . do you want to save avery or not ? kiki : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] rosalie : uh , can i help you ? sabrina : oh , i 'm here to see michael . rosalie : do you have an appointment ? sabrina : oh . i do n't think i need one . i 'm -- i 'm here with his sister . rosalie : oh .

[ door closes ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : how 's it going in here ? sam : not great . patrick : he 's more convinced than ever that cameron started the fire . spencer : because he did , father ! you have to call the police and have him arrested .

[ scene_break ] anna : so , it would appear that duke comes here twice a week to have tea in the afternoon ? olivia : uh , yeah , usually . mondays and wednesdays at 4 : 00 . i mean he could come by at a lot of different times , but that 's a standing reservation . anna : and does he always ask his server for the tea box ? olivia : always . anna : where is it stored ? olivia : it 's in the -- the staging area between the dining room and the kitchen . i got to ask -- what is so important about this tea box ? anna : i believe that he 's using it as a cash drop . olivia : in my restaurant ? ! oh . to hell with that . you know , we reserve the right to refuse service to anybody . he can go pick up his dirty mob money somewhere else . anna : if you ban him from this restaurant , that is going to make it that much harder for us to gather evidence ... a - and build a case against duke . olivia : you love duke . you really ready to send him to prison ? we both know what it feels like to love a man who 's chosen a life that we despise . i could never send sonny to prison . i -- i thank god that i 'm not in your position . anna : that 's not the hardest part . olivia : hmm . you still love him . anna : [ voice breaking ] i think i 've loved duke over half my life . even when i thought that he was ... gone . my whole family loves him . emma looks on him as a second grandfather . now with her mother on another continent , i 'm supposed to tell emma that ... her grandma is going to arrest duke and put him in prison . olivia : i am so sorry . anna : me too . [ sniffles ] i think i 'm really doing it for emma , you know , as an example , because , um , i think you have to ... you have to do what 's right . you have to see your duty through . you know ... even if it breaks your heart . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : my physical prowess must be more evident than i thought . he 's afraid of losing maximista . nathan : all right , well , first off , maxie is not some prize to be fought over . and last i checked , she could think for herself . sonny : is that why you ordered spinelli out of town ? so that way maxie can make up her own mind ? nathan : okay , look -- and second , even if i was to accept this challenge , i 'm pretty sure i 'd kick your ass . spinelli : oh , yeah ? why 's that ? nathan : spinelli , come on . i bench press more weight than like two of your combined . spinelli : ooh ! nathan : it 'd be lights out in one punch . spinelli : not necessarily . nathan : i 'm not saying this to put you down , man . i 'm just saying come on -- look at you , look at me . spinelli : oh , i am looking at you . do you know what i see ? i see a coward ! a lily - livered , yellow - bellied weasel , to be exact ! nathan : all right , cut it out . spinelli : ooh ! why ? what 're you gon na do about it ? nathan : nothing . spinelli : you may be a blazing , blue - eyed goliath , but you lack the courage of your convictions . nathan : i what ? spinelli : you assume that you can beat me ! you assume that because of your crystalline gaze and -- and ripped torso that you would be the inevitable victor . nathan : no , i assume that i can actually hurt you , and i do n't want to do that . spinelli : you admit it ! you admit it ! nathan : admit what ? spinelli : you assume ! and when you assume , you -- well , you know the rest , so ... nathan : this is ridiculous . this is ... ridiculous ? spinelli : what ? oh , ridiculous that i , the lowly intellectual , should challenge you , the self - described muscle - bound warrior ? ! nathan : i never called myself that . spinelli : well , the bigger they are , the harder they fall ! and i have right on my side , not to mention centuries of narrative tradition , i might say . the underdog who triumphs , the little guy who wins , and i will not let you shirk your destiny . nathan : my destiny ? spinelli : yes ! geez ! to fall ... to fall in battle against the forces of righteousness ! to plummet into oblivion like the sith lord that you are ! sonny : did he just call you a sith lord ? spinelli : yes , you are like darth vader before redemption . darth maul ! the emperor ! the -- the scary sith guy in the trailer with the broadsword - like light -- l - l - lightsaber . nathan : spinelli , spinelli , all right , enough . spinelli : you accept my challenge , then . nathan : fine . have it your way . spinelli : great . nathan : all right , but do n't say i did n't warn you . boxing match it is . spinelli : for maxie 's heart . maxie : yeah , for maxie 's heart . spinelli : lovely . when ? nathan : look , i got some stuff i got to take care of at work . i will meet you back here in one hour . spinelli : i look forward to it . sonny : you know , spinelli , portland did you some good , you know ?

[ lulu sighs ] jason : look , if you really think that we 're being unfair to lucky , then you have every right to tell him , as long as -- as , you know , you realize that it might turn out -- it might not turn out the way you want it to . lulu : yeah , i -- i want to believe that the truth will fix everything . but if -- if i tell lucky and he goes back to drugs , then it 's going to be my fault . jason : no , that 's not your fault , that 's lucky 's fault -- it 's his decision . lulu : lucky is a spencer , and he has that same drug and alcohol gene -- my dad has it , his dad had it . it 's a bonus that your kid 's not going to have it . jason : well , who knows what 's -- what 's going to happen ? my brother , a.j . , was an alcoholic , too . lulu : well , you look enough like lucky that people will believe the kid is -- is actually his . unless the kid grows up and it -- it does n't laugh or talk or explain anything , then that 's going to be a dead giveaway . jason : well , maybe the baby will take after elizabeth . lulu : you know , it 's funny -- you actually have the same color eyes as my mom . so if the kid has blue eyes , everyone will look at it and think it looks like her . lucky will be so proud . how am i going to do this ? huh . jason : i guess sometimes keeping a secret is the best way to love someone . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you do n't think things through particularly well , do you ? that 's why you made such a mess of what was supposed to be a five - minute robbery at the metro court . james : well , all things considered , i thought i handled it rather well . true , i failed to achieve the ultimate objective , but , you see , these are the hazards of my chosen profession . nikolas : that 's fine , but you need to understand something . i will gladly die before i allow you to harm anyone in my life , and that includes anyone in this house , my family , elizabeth , and especially emily . you understand ? james : which would explain that petulant show of bad manners you just put on , and it 's a wonder emily did n't leave in tears . after all the love and support she gave you during that hostage crisis -- i mean , it 's appalling to see that you 've turned into a self - centered pig . honestly , intern emily deserves way better . nikolas : it 'll keep her away from you for now . [ james chuckles ] james : unfortunately , you see , you may need emily 's medical abilities . she does seem to be very competent . it may come in handy if you ever show slow responding to the counteragent . nikolas : really ? well , if i die , where does that leave you , hmm ? james : in the awkward position of having to start the process all over again with a more cooperative subject . and rest assured , if you stir up more trouble , i will kill sweet emily -- and elizabeth for good measure -- before i move on . you know me , nightmare nikolas . you know i can be reasonable when i get cooperation , but most unpleasant if i do n't . nikolas : fine . so let 's get started , shall we ? james : why do n't you send flowers to emily ? apologize ; invite her to the castle for a romantic dinner . nikolas : no , no , no , let 's -- james : yes . nikolas : let 's grasp what 's really going to happen here . you 'll get what you want if you keep emily out of it .

[ alexis sighs ] [ scene_break ] jax : you knew that michael was trying to get his hands on a gun and you did nothing . sonny : i warned him not to . jax : you -- you warned him , but you should 've warned me or carly -- that 's what you should 've done . instead you tell a 12-year - old boy that if he defied you , that he should run , and keep on running , and that 's exactly what he did -- after he shot your girlfriend . sonny : that was an accident and you know that . jax : i know it was an accident , but accident or not , there 's still a bullet hole in kate , is n't there ? and we 're all supposed to just pretend like nothing happened , is that right ? sonny : well , he 's my son ; it 's not your call . jax : yeah , look how well that 's turning out . you know , his life has been exposed to violence since he was an infant . and maybe you should give him a shot at a life that is n't in your shadow . would n't that be great ? sonny : i 'm betting -- i 'm betting that carly did n't sign off on this conversation , right ? jax : no , she supports the myth that you 're a good father . so prove it -- get michael care and treatment for the trauma he 's been through , and then get out of his life . sonny : what michael needs is me time with his father . he needs to know that he 's loved and he 's supported , and i 'm going to make sure that he knows what he did was wrong , and then he can move on . jax : sounds like you 're trying to show him the ropes .

[ scene_break ] jason : so that 's my choice . wear a wire to sonny 's meeting or rayner picks up spinelli tonight . diane : i assume that you have warned him . jason : he turned off his phone . i 'm not going to go over there . the fbi -- you know what ? do you know that he 's listed as armed and dangerous ? diane : why would spinelli return to port charles ? jason : because maxie talked him into it . and agent winnifred leeds offered to destroy any evidence the fbi has against spinelli . diane : stop . i did not hear that . unless you are speaking hypothetically . jason : then it 's all got to be hypothetical right now , diane . diane : okay , is spinelli responding to all of this in a way that would be recognizable to the rest of us ? jason : he showed at rayner 's office disguised as a secret service agent . diane : i was afraid of that . johnny : spinelli and leeds think that this is some kind of game . diane : all right , hypothetically speaking , what is the status of the evidence ? jason : spinelli and winnifred put some kind of virus in the fbi system that destroys everything against spinelli . diane : breaking and entering at the fbi ? jason : diane , you know what ? it worked . what they did n't know is the fbi backed up everything up on a flash drive that was in a different part of the federal building . all that have to do now is upgrade winnifred 's clearance and then go after that , and i 'm afraid that is what they are trying to do right now , hypothetically . diane : that alone , if it is actually happening , will land them in a federal penitentiary . what is that girl thinking ? jason : she felt guilty for setting spinelli up in the first place . diane : well , i should have a talk with her , woman - to - woman , because there are less catastrophic ways to make amends than totally annihilating your own career . jason : diane , please , that does n't matter . that does n't matter to me . all i want you to do is help me . diane : my options may be limited . given all of the hypotheticals you 've just laid out . spinelli is up a very real creek . [ scene_break ] sonny : i want everybody patted down . nobody gets in here with a gun . understood ? max : yeah , the guys are all clear on that . sonny : also , nobody comes in here that 's not on the guest list . i want everything calm . no confrontations . max : i 'll remind everyone again . sonny : thank you . claudia : and this is what i 'm going to do -- is i 'm going to let you know when to bring out the first round . but i want you -- do n't be too generous with wine and the booze . we do n't need anybody getting drunk , right ? man : right . sonny : you know , it 's amazing . we used to have meetings like this in the back room of the no - name . left over antipasti , house wine . claudia : i want everything to be perfect tonight . sonny : it 's going to be perfect . claudia : good . i hope you do n't mind . i told him to be a little stingy with the booze . sonny : do n't worry about it . if i want somebody to drink too much , i 'll let you know . claudia : deal . sonny : but this is important . i 'm sure the feds are going to try to sneak in some informant . i 'm depending on you to screen the zacchara reps . and if they give you any problems , you need to come to me . claudia : yeah , of course . i did n't invite anybody that i would n't know on sight . sonny : okay . claudia : so which one do you like better ? the silver or the black ? sonny : it do n't matter . whatever . claudia : i probably should n't , but i hope that john comes tonight . sonny : he 's going to do what he 's going to do . do n't even think about him . claudia : he 's just -- he 's protecting me . sonny : from what ? you both keep saying that . what is it you 're not telling me ? [ scene_break ] jax : it 's a good thing we own the place . carly : yeah , we would so be kicked out . jax : yeah . you know , we could make it a tradition . another anniversary , another trashed honeymoon suite . carly : we could go through the metro court room - by - room , year - by - year . jax : i ca n't believe i brought this up here . carly : yeah , i ca n't either . jax : there 's just something about the packaging . carly : no return address . maybe you should n't open it . jax : no , no . it looks harmless enough . i think i 've seen this design somewhere before . i just ca n't quite place it . carly : it 's some kind of advertisement for , like , a carpet cleaner . they just want you to be curious and open it . jax : hmm , well , maybe we should pop it in the player and see . [ scene_break ] jason : what is the best defense you can put together tonight ? spinelli 's going to need it . diane : based on everything you just told me ? diminished capacity . jason : you mean like he 's crazy ? diane : mm - hmm . all right , spinelli returns to port charles even though he knows the fbi is after him . he refuses to stay hidden . he broke into agent rayner 's office dressed as a secret service agent . i would not be surprised at all if spinelli were operating under the delusion that he 's a super hero in a video game . jason : that would humiliate spinelli . diane : i know . and i 'm going to have to put him on the stand , jason , just to prove my point . with any luck , spinelli will only end up in a psych hospital and not a federal prison . but that 's a long shot . because the truth is , barring any miracle , spinelli does n't have a prayer if the fbi still has that evidence . [ scene_break ] winnifred : that is much better . maxie : this is a stupid idea , spinelli . ca n't you just stay here and let winnifred save you ? spinelli : i have to save myself . maxie : why are you encouraging him to do this ? are you going to get a promotion if he gets arrested ? winnifred : never . maxie : you know , i honestly think she 's just trying to make jason mad so that he 'll send both of you to some other country , and then she 's going to have you all to herself . you know what , you little spy nerd ? that 's not going to happen . winnifred : my only intention is to save the jackal at any cost . maxie : ca n't you just break into the computer systems and upgrade her security clearance and make all the evidence go away ? winnifred : while , the priestess objects most vociferously to ms. jones ' attitude and tone , her logic is irrefutable . spinelli : if you could give us a moment . winnifred : certainly . spinelli : actually -- winnifred : 10 - 4 . but the longer we delay , the greater the probability that agent rayner will discover the irreparable damage caused by the tapeworm . and then all hell will break loose as it were , greatly complicating the next step of our mission . spinelli : i want nothing more than to be a hero in your eyes . maxie : you already are . do n't you know that ? spinelli : but i have to prove myself . and not in the world of cyber space , but in reality . maxie : that 's not the deal that we made . spinelli , you are going to stay here , and winnifred was going to help you . spinelli : correct . maxie : i put my job on the line to locate you in los angeles . and jason has sacrificed everything to keep you safe . sam 's probably not going to be able to get her p.i . license because she 's keeping you out of jail . spinelli : but do n't you see ? if i save myself , then i prove worthy of such friends . maxie : you 've already shown me how brave you are . remember the fire ? spinelli : but it 's a matter of honor . i have to be the master of my own future , and i pray that that future is with you . maxie : well , is there anything i can say to make you change your mind ? spinelli : alas , there is not . the die is cast . if you could give me a sign , albeit maybe just a small one , that you have faith in me -- winnifred : tempus fugit . maxie : we are in the middle of something here . spinelli : the priestess is correct . time flees , as must i . maxie : you better come back to me . [ scene_break ] carly : we are so not watching this dvd . jax : you 're not curious ? carly : no . jax : not even a little ? carly : okay , fine . if you want to watch that dvd while your wife is naked on your honeymoon , go right ahead . jax : you 're absolutely right . [ scene_break ] claudia : nothing is going on . john and i are just so used to protecting each other . we just assume the worst . he thinks it 's dangerous for me to be here . i completely understand why he feels that way . sonny : well , you know , it 's no surprise john is not one of my favorite people . but i was wrong for locking him up when i thought he kidnapped michael . but i made a mistake . i own it , and i move on . claudia : john is the only person that i love in the world . he 's my brother . do you understand ? i would do anything to protect him . i would die for him . sonny : why are you talking about dying two minutes before we 're having a party ? i only expect two things from you . honesty and loyalty . you give me that , then i give you the same in return . claudia : jason was n't loyal , and you took him back . right ? i mean , that 's what the whole night is about . sonny : jason and i have resolved our differences . he 's family to me -- more than family . we made a deal . he did n't want to even take it in the first place , but we both want what we had before . claudia : okay , but are you sure that he can really stand down and be your second ? sonny : you know what ? even during all the troubles and everything , jason and i were looking out for each other . the fact that we 're both still alive says a lot . i trust him more than anybody who 's going to be in that room tonight . claudia : well , i 'm doing my best to get along with him . sonny : i expect nothing less . claudia : i have to go get changed . sonny : it 's getting late . come on . claudia : hey , do you think that you 'll ever really trust me ? sonny : maybe , who knows ? [ scene_break ] robin : are you sure we saw the same movie ? i mean , how can you think that ? brad : all i 'm saying is that the woman in these movies is one of those people that just did n't want to really be happy . robin : you 're just mad because you lost the coin toss , and we did n't see the spy flick . we had to see the french movie . brad : that 's not true . but even if it was , this woman was impossible , okay ? she did n't really want to be happy . nothing would satisfy her . and it was always going to be like that . robin : well , she does n't get to be disillusioned ? brad : for what reason ? she had a great life . she had a good husband . if ruthie , the bartender , had that kind of life , she 'd be at home 24/7 with the baby . robin : i 'm not ruthie . brad : sorry . robin : no , i just , i mean that the woman finally figured out who she was -- maybe she 's just something different than she expected . brad : so maybe it hit a little close to home ? [ scene_break ] ric : i was surprised to be invited . sonny : well , you work for the zaccharas . you need a place to be when the transition starts . ric : you 're offering me a job ? sonny : ah , we can work something out . ric : like doing what ? washing your cars ? picking up your suits at your dry cleaners ? sonny : no , permits , legal stuff . things like that . ric : oh , i see . you want to keep an eye on me . sonny : you know what , ric ? if you decide to work for me , then you 're going to have to follow my orders , right ? if you can do that , then come in here , enjoy the party . if you ca n't , get the hell out . diane : max giambetti , you stop that right now . max : nobody gets through without a pat down . boss 's orders . so i 'm going to have to ask you again . ms. miller , are you carrying any concealed weapons ? diane : nothing that you do n't already know about . max : what are you really doing here ? your name is not on the list . diane : i was just hoping i could lure you away . max : why ? did you hear something ? diane , if there 's going to be a problem , i need you to tell me now . diane : just be careful what you say and who you say it to . and you might want to take it a little easy on jason . the situation with spinelli and the fbi is not good . max : yeah , sure . diane : no , really , max . try not to say too much to anybody , especially jason .

[ scene_break ] robin : watching that movie was like watching a slow - moving train wreck . you knew exactly what was going to happen , but you just could n't stop it . brad : well , i just do n't understand why they kept moving back and forth in time . robin : because they had to show how happy the woman used to be . brad : things change . the husband changed . she just could n't keep up . robin : what if it was the other way around ? what if the woman and the husband stayed true to themselves ? brad : well , then the movie would have been over in five minutes . robin : yeah . do you think that she was wrong for walking away ? brad : i think she was dependent on somebody else to make her happy , you know , because she was so miserable with herself . robin : well , why do we have to deal with expectations ? why ca n't we just live in the moment and take a risk every once and a while ? brad : is that what you want ?

[ sighs ] [ doorbell rings ] andré : hi . anna : oh , hi . andré : hi . uh , is this a good time ? anna : yes , of course . come in . always , yeah . andré : well , i would have been by here to see you sooner , but i was in court . anna : oh , yeah ? uh , can i ask what case you were working on ? andré : charlotte cassadine . i did the evaluation for her custody hearing . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] valentin : to our family and to staying together . charlotte : yay ! nina : yay ! [ laughs ] charlotte : did the judge say i can stay with you and nina forever ? valentin : well , judges do n't usually use words like `` forever , `` but that 's the general idea , yeah . i 'm your papa . nina 's your stepmom . and no one 's ever gon na take you away from us . [ scene_break ] tracy : [ gasps ] there you are . i have good news for once . hayden . hayden : i 'm sorry . did -- did you say something ? tracy : yeah ! we got our first payment from biospen pharmaceuticals on time and in full . general hospital is well on its way to financial solvency . hayden : good news , for once . tracy : yeah , like i said . so , where 's finn ? i want to thank him . hayden : he 's taken a leave of absence to deal with his drug addiction . [ scene_break ] finn : i agree , roxy , there is something darkly ironic about calling to get admitted for addiction therapy and getting put on hold for 20 minutes . [ sighs ] yes , i 'm -- i 'm still holding . yeah . no , i need to be , uh ... [ sighs ] i need to speak to somebody in admissions . no , i 'm looking for an immediate opening . [ scene_break ] carly : can i come in ? sonny : yeah . i know things are bad between us , but there 's no need to ring the doorbell or ask to come in . you 're never a stranger in this house . carly : okay , i 'm not trying to make a point . i was just trying to be polite . sonny : just -- i just -- just be honest . carly : you want to be honest now ? sonny : if you 're here to fight , i 'm not -- i do n't want to do that . i 'm not here to fight . i 'm here -- i 'm here to figure out what 's going on between us and what we do next . losing morgan and thinking you killed him was the worst thing that has ever happened to me -- ever . i mean , nothing even comes close . and then finding out you were innocent -- i mean , it eased the anger , but the loss is still there . i mean , it 's always gon na be there . so compared to that , you sleeping with nelle , i mean ... it 's -- it 's like an ordinary pain . you know , like , if you break a leg , it hurts like hell , but you know it 's gon na heal . but it 's not gon na kill you . losing morgan , you know , could have killed me if i did n't have other kids to live for . sonny : i understand that . carly : i know you do . i know losing morgan was like a bottomless pit opened up at your feet . and it was a pain that you could n't fight . and it was a pain that threatened to swallow you whole . so i get it , sonny . i know that when nelle walked in here on thanksgiving , you were drunk , and you were n't thinking clearly , and she used that to get you into bed . i know that . sonny : well , if you see clearly what happened and why it happened , why ca n't you get past it and ... let this be over with ? [ scene_break ] anna : so , i - i had an interesting morning myself . andré : thank you . anna : you know ? um , i decided to go to the precinct and have a conversation with olivia jerome . andré : if you do n't mind my asking , why put yourself through that ? anna : yeah , well , that 's a very good question . i 'm not sure that i know the answer to that .

[ sighs ] which is a battle that she lost 20 years ago . because duke never loved her , you know . and she tried to force that , but you ca n't force love . andré : no . you ca n't . anna : which is something i wish valentin had understood . andré : interesting subject change . anna : well , he 's been on my mind . you know . so , what -- so , you evaluated charlotte for the custody hearing ? andré : yeah . anna : am i out of place in asking how that went ? andré : no . the judge 's decision is a matter of public record . lulu 's been granted supervised visitation for a period of six months , and valentin retains full custody .

[ scene_break ] robin : can i have a word with you , please ? patrick : go right ahead . robin : you 're really not going to make this easy for me , are you ? patrick : should i make it easy on you ? robin : ok -- um -- i 'm here to apologize . patrick : go ahead . robin : i made some assumptions and i should n't have . about us , you know , before ? patrick : refresh my memory again -- is that about mr. conway 's bladder scan ? robin : it was about the bet . patrick : the one i supposedly made about sleeping with you . how does that go again ? robin : are you seriously going to make me say this in front of everybody ? [ robin sighs ] robin : about the bet , i heard you talking on the phone to someone that you could get a woman to do it . i thought you meant me . i was really upset . patrick : so instead of confronting me or , god forbid , asking me , you just thought you 'd plan an ambush ? robin : i said i was wrong . i should n't have dared you to `` nail the h.i.v.-positive woman . `` the bet was about a patient and it was totally innocent , and i -- i made a complete fool out of myself . are n't you just dying to rub my nose in this ? what 's -- what 's with the self control ? carly : i 'm in awe . i 'm amazed at the progress you 've made . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i know that you were involved with sonny , sam , but you do n't really know him . you do n't know what really happens to him . sam : jason , you 're making it sound like he 's mentally ill . jason : i remember going to his place and the whole -- the whole apartment was just destroyed . it was -- it was trashed . sonny had cut himself bad . he did n't care . he did n't even know he 'd cut himself . carly was with him , and it was at the point where she did n't even like him yet , but she was afraid to leave sonny alone because he was having whole conversations with his dead wife . sam : lily ? jason : yes . i got carly out , i poured all the liquor down the sink , i cleaned up the glass , and i just -- i just sat there and i watched him . and i waited -- and i waited to make sure he did n't hurt himself or anybody else . sam : look -- hey , you have been a really good friend , but that does not mean you are responsible for him . jason : the point is it can happen for no reason . and i do n't -- i do n't want emily with him when it happens . sam : ok , this happened a long time ago , right ? i know it sounds awful -- i ca n't even imagine , i -- it 's awful , but maybe it 's in the past . maybe he will be different with emily . [ scene_break ] emily : sonny , we just finished saying that we love each other . that means that there are no boundaries . sonny : there are always boundaries . emily : sonny , my marriage was destroyed because i could n't tell the truth . look at me . i could n't face the truth . i will never , ever let that come between me and my happiness ever again . sonny : here 's -- what i 'm trying to say to you is you deserve so much better . emily : then give it to me . sonny , trust me enough to know that whatever you think you 've done , it 's not going to change what i feel for you . i know you 're not perfect . neither am i . what matters is that we tell each other the truth . sonny : a lot of people are going to be hurt if this gets out . emily : i understand . sonny : `` she understands . `` alexis is sam 's mother . i slept with a mother and a daughter , and i fathered children with both of them .

[ scene_break ] carly : see , you obsess over morality and truth , and you think you know better about everything and everyone , and this time it came back to bite you . at least the only person you hurt is yourself . hey , i 'm going to go get a drink , and then i 'm going to play a game of pool . you should come over . [ robin sighs ] patrick : is there anything else ? robin : you really had to make me do that , did n't you ? you had to make me grovel in front of carly . patrick : look , i did n't hold a gun to your head . you obviously thought that apologizing was more important than saving face . look at it as a growing experience . now , is there anything else ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey , i understand your instinct to protect your sister . but if she chooses to love sonny , is it really your decision to tear them apart ? jason : sonny knows better than this . sam : right , and you told him that , and she knows this . both of them know . so -- you hate it , jason , when people try and take away your choices , tell you what you can and ca n't do . jason : sam , i know i do . maybe i 'm a hypocrite , but you do n't understand how bad this could get , and she 's my sister . sam : right , but she is n't a child , and she may not be as fragile as you think she is . she 's been through a lot of stuff , jason . love can make people stronger . jason : i need to just walk this off . sam : wait a minute . before you go , when you 're out there , i want you to think about something , ok ? think about danny , and not -- not the way that he was . think about him not developmentally challenged or disabled . think that he was strong and loving and kind and he did n't want you anywhere near me . would you be able to walk away from me ? would i be able to walk away from you ? love is so much stronger than that -- for you and me , and maybe for sonny and emily . [ scene_break ] emily : i ca n't believe it . sam and alexis ? sonny : no one knows except sam and jason , now you and me . emily : could there be a mistake ? sonny : i wish . sam does n't want to take it any further , she does n't want to tell alexis , neither can we . emily : of course . it 's her decision . sonny : emily , do you understand what i did ? i slept with a mother and a daughter , fathered children with both . do you understand what that means ? emily : did you know that alexis and sam were mother and daughter ? sonny : no , i did n't know . emily : all right -- sonny : but that does n't mean -- that does n't excuse it . emily : did you sleep with them in the same room at the same time ? sonny : no , i did n't . no . emily : how about in the same year ? sonny : of course not ! but -- emily : ok , i 'll grant you it 's a little creepy , sonny , mostly because it 's such a shock . but what 's more disturbing to me is how hard you are on yourself . sonny : alexis was my lawyer . we were friends . we -- a one - night stand destroyed the relationship . sam i cared about , but basically it was just to get back at carly . so i used them both . the worst part is i got them both pregnant . if you want to leave right now , you can . i would n't blame you one second . emily : sonny -- no , wait , that is not going to happen to us . we 're careful ; we take the necessary precautions . look , come on , sonny . did you tell sam or alexis that you love them ? sonny : no . but it 's a different kind of lie . emily : are you -- are you trying to tell me that you do n't love me , that you 're using me , too ? sonny : what i 'm -- listen . there 's a pattern that i do n't want to repeat with you . you know , for years with carly , it was push and pull . even with lily , it was arranged . i did n't know how much i cared about her until she died . i do n't want you to suffer because i do n't know how to love someone without hurting them . emily : sonny , i have had my fair share of heartache . but i 'm determined to keep doing this until i get it right . sonny , this -- look at me . what we are right now -- it feels like a big step in that direction . sonny , my eyes are wide open . i 'm not wrong for loving you . sonny : hey . [ scene_break ] skye : you know , it 's possible that tracy dropped that little seed about my wanting to trap you into marriage and now it 's starting to grow . lorenzo : this is n't about tracy . do you have something against marriage ? skye : uh -- other than failures too numerous and humiliating to count ? look , lorenzo , we 've barely dated , ok ? we have n't even woken up and had breakfast together , and as crazy as this sounds , i 'm now carrying your baby and we 're practically strangers . lorenzo : we can fix that . skye : do n't misunderstand me . look , i -- i really , really like you so much . but this is just happening so fast . lorenzo : so we 'll table marriage for another conversation . i did invite you to dinner for a reason , though . how would you feel about living with me ? [ scene_break ] patrick : well , if there 's something else you want to say to me , now is probably a good time . robin : yeah , actually , you know what , there is . patrick : ok . robin : i was wrong about tonight , but i was not wrong about you . you are the most conceited man that i have met this side of the atlantic . you know what ? maybe the other side , too , because i do n't know if you remember , but i used to live in paris . patrick : and that bothers you ? robin : maybe somewhere deep inside , there 's a part of you that 's worth knowing , but i blew that because of -- whatever . you continue to prove that you are a jackass . i think you 've picked the right woman to do that with , too . you know , come to think of it , you two are perfect for each other . patrick : where were we ? carly : on a road to nowhere . i have to put on the brakes .

[ scene_break ] father coates : there 's nothing you ca n't say to god . sonny : uh -- i slept with two women , a mother and a daughter -- not -- not at the same time . it was years apart , and i just found out that they 're related , and they did n't even know . the mother still does n't . father coates : were you committing adultery ? sonny : i was separated from my wife at the time , and i did n't -- i did n't love either woman . father coates : did you lead them on ? did you let them believe that you were in love ? sonny : well , the truth , father , is that i -- i used them both . father coates : to what end ? sonny : i just did n't want to be alone . and now i -- there 's someone else , and i do n't want to use her , too . [ scene_break ] jason : i worry about you . emily : and i used to worry about you , too , jase , and you always told me not to , that i should trust that you 'd take care of yourself , so now i do . jason : you know , all last summer i did n't know who i was . i did n't have any memory of you . and you -- you needed me , and i was n't around for you . emily : i missed you , jase , but my life is not your responsibility . jason : you 're my sister , emily . emily : and you always watched out for me . jason : yeah , well , not this time i did n't . emily : you could n't be here . i understood . jason : look , whatever that -- whatever you were going through , you turned to sonny . emily : sonny and i were able to help each other . jason : now you 're at his house , you 're with his kids , so that makes you a target . emily : i love you , jason , but i 'm in charge of my life -- good , bad , or worse . you can want what 's best for me , but you ca n't decide . jason : but i will protect you , no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : we do n't have to be married or engaged or even going steady . what 's wrong with sharing a living space together ? we can plan for our baby 's future ; fix the nursery . skye : oh . well , there 's something i just ca n't quite picture -- you building a crib ? lorenzo : i could rise to the challenge -- if i convince you that moving in with me is a good idea . the quartermaines do n't appreciate you , and they are not going to nurse you through the ups and downs of pregnancy . i have a tremendous amount of room -- and no one with whom to share it . skye : the quartermaines are my family , warts and all . and , yes , it has been a bit on the cold side since lila died but , you know , there 's no strings attached and -- look , let 's take this one day at a time , ok ? let it play itself out . we have time . lorenzo : whatever feels right to you . i will let you set the pace . skye : see ? sounds like we 're making progress already .

[ scene_break ] ric : sonny and my relationship has improved over these past few months , especially after the outbreak . maybe i can go to him and he 'll listen to reason if i ask him to appoint me as kristina 's legal guardian . alexis : i love you , you know that , very much , and i appreciate you helping me -- even though i 'm not sure you 're doing it to help me , but maybe to get closer to your brother . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've just become involved with someone , a really amazing woman . she 's a good friend to me and to my children . we -- it started out one way , and it was n't supposed to turn into what it is . father coates : why is that ? sonny : well -- ahem -- because a lot of people think that i 'm not good for her . and there 's somebody that i trust very much who -- who thinks that i 'm going to hurt her in the end . father coates : `` in the end `` ? sonny : yeah . father coates : way too often , people presume to know what only god can know . do you think that you 're not good for her ? sonny : i have n't been this content in a long time , father . she -- she just takes away my -- my anger , my defenses , and i do n't know why . i mean -- i just worry there are risks , and i keep telling myself that the -- the only way to love her is to let her go . father coates : well , i think you should give yourself a chance , michael . let go of the past . forgive yourself , as god will forgive you . sonny : you 're not following me , are you ?

[ scene_break ] jax : you know i love michael like a son . and it breaks my heart to see the choices he 's made and the people he 's hurt . carly : he was just trying to help . he thought he was helping , jax . jax : that 's just it . that 's just it -- he bought a gun because he thought he needed to protect you from this text message killer because he does n't trust the police . he does n't trust the authorities to do their job , so he took matters into his own hands , and look what happened . carly : he 's learned his lesson . jax : yeah , well , his father is his role model . he 's watched sonny do business for years . now , if somebody crosses sonny , he takes them out . i mean , violence is his life . carly : it does n't have to be michael 's life , it does n't . jax : okay , then you know what ? he needs to come forward and admit to the authorities what he 's done so he knows that there are consequences . carly : i ca n't do this . i ca n't have this argument with you ; i do n't have the strength right now . jax : look , look -- hey , hey , i 'm not upset with michael , okay ? it 's sonny that i 'm upset with . i went to talk to him . carly : what did you say to him ? jax : what i 'm telling you right now -- that michael needs care and treatment , and that sonny should get out of his life . carly : i 'm sure sonny was furious . jax : oh , he did n't take it too well -- and actually thought he needed to spend more time with michael , not less . carly : he -- sonny has been a very loving father , jax . jax : carly , we 're a family now . i 'm not going to let your ex - husband ruin our future .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i hope i 'm not interrupting . ellie : no . you caught me between reagents . to what do i owe the pleasure ? spinelli : well , i know how tirelessly you 've been toiling , so i thought a little caffeine might provide some fortification . ellie : thank you . it definitely could n't hurt . spinelli : and maybe a quick but spirited game of gin ? ellie : uh , i think i 'll pass . spinelli : forgive me , but you appear somewhat troubled . is it -- is it work related ? ellie : actually , it 's personal . spinelli : oh . then , please , tell me what is weighing on that beautiful brain of yours . perhaps i can help relieve the burden . ellie : it 's -- it 's not exactly a burden , but it does involve you . so , i may just as well come out and say it . uh ... do you want to have a baby ?

[ scene_break ] anna : i thought you and mac were okay . i mean , of course , i understand that having frisco in town has got to be difficult . felicia : yeah , you might say that . he told me he wants me back . anna : when did that happen ? felicia : the other night at the metro court , when i met him without telling mac . the only reason why i met him is i wanted to shut him down , to let him know that there was absolutely zero chance that we would ever get back together again . anna : oh , god . that 's not what happened , is it ? felicia : no . what happened was ... we ended up taking a little trip down memory lane . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is even better than i remember . i mean , since i 've been pregnant , all my cravings have been really out of whack -- like things i like , i hate , and vice versa , but this ... frisco : how 's that going , by the way ? the pregnancy -- everything okay ? maxie : well , aside from my intense craving for pastrami sandwiches , i ca n't really complain . is that why you wanted to talk to me about spinelli -- 'cause of the baby ? frisco : i 've been thinking , honey ... maybe it 's not such a good idea that you pass the baby off as dante and lulu 's . maxie : dad , you promised me you were gon na keep this secret . you 're not gon na tell dante and lulu now , are you ?

[ scene_break ] mac : i 'll just be honest with felicia , let her know that i know she went to dinner with frisco , and see how she feels about that . duke : that sounds like a great idea . mac : yeah , it would be if i could get ahold of her . i mean , she 's avoiding me . and every minute that goes by , i ca n't help but wonder what she 's doing . duke : do n't do that . do n't go down that road . you know , it 's a very short trip from jealousy to outright paranoia . mac : i can see them at dinner , all right ? sitting across the table from each other , they 're leaning in , gazing into each other 's eyes , holding hands . or maybe they just skipped dinner and went right to feeding each other chocolate- covered strawberries while laughing about what a sucker i am . or maybe they just skipped food altogether , and he just seduced her and they made mad , passionate love while listening to a string quartet play `` lady of my heart . `` duke : get a grip on yourself , mac . i do n't know what felicia 's doing , but i can guarantee you that is not it . [ scene_break ] felicia : it was georgie 's birthday , and i think that we were kind of emotional . anna : oh , i can imagine . felicia : [ sighs ] we started to reminisce , and it was like opening up the floodgates . all these memories started just rushing back -- you know , those first adventures when we were young and in love and it was just the two of us against the world . anna : oh , god , i remember those days . it was just so much fun , was n't it , when you were young ? i mean , i -- like , falling in love for the first time . your heart was beating all the time , going crazy , you did n't know whether you were gon na have a heart attack or [ laughs ] and ... it was just a feeling of being alive , you know ? and that bond -- i - i always feel that the bond that you make at time kind of never goes away . felicia : no . i knew you 'd agree with me . uh , i dug this out the other day , and i 've been carrying it around with me ever since . this ... is my little secret . [ scene_break ] frisco : no , honey . i have no intention of giving away your secret . i 'll say nothing to dante and lulu . maxie : thank god . frisco : but have you thought this through ? i know you 're doing something nice for your friends , and i 'm very proud that you 're willing to make such a huge sacrifice , but , you know , you 're giving part of yourself away . maxie : look , i am the one that volunteered to be a surrogate . frisco : but you 're not a surrogate anymore . are you really willing to give your baby to dante and lulu when you know it 's really yours ? maxie : i told you that i am not ready to be a mother , and i do n't know if i ever will be . it 's not like i come from a stable family . i 'm not an inherently nurturing person . frisco : well , i strongly disagree . maxie : look , and even if i was ready to be a mother , spinelli and i are n't together . he 's with somebody else . frisco : honey , you and spinelli do n't have to be together to parent this child . maxie : no , dad . it 's more than that , okay ? dante and lulu -- they are so excited about this child . if you could have been there when they saw the sonogram -- they believe that this baby is theirs , and i am not gon na take that away from them . frisco : but , honey , you 're not giving dante and lulu a family . you 're giving them yours . maxie , this is your baby . this is my grandchild . you 're both my flesh and blood . maxie : and since when does that matter ? frisco : what do you mean by that ? maxie : dad , you have been surprisingly supportive lately , and i am very grateful , but ... i mean , you 've never really been too concerned about being a father . i have a few memories of you from when i was little , but georgie only knew you from pictures . frisco : well , i made some poor choices . but i ca n't go back and unmake them . maxie : no , dad . i understand , and i 'm not mad at you anymore . you know , i get that even heroic , super - spy dads have flaws . you did n't leave because you were malicious . you left because you did n't want the life you had signed up for . and that 's okay . frisco : i 'm trying to make up for lost time . maxie : that 's exactly my point . being a father has never really been your priority , so i want to know why you 're really here . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , now what ? ellie : now we wait . which is great , because it gives us time to talk . you were about to answer my question . i asked if you want -- spinelli : right , if ... [ chuckles ] if i wanted a baby , right ? uh , i 'm a little surprised . we 've only been dating for a few months . i mean , i 've yet to learn the names of your childhood pets or if you have any allergies or , i mean , most importantly , the 10 places you -- ellie : wait . oh . no , do n't misunderstand . i was n't proposing that we procreate . spinelli : oh , you were n't ? ellie : no . no . i just -- i realized that we never really talked about our future , and i do n't know what you envision for your life , but i do know that the other day when i walked in on you and maxie viewing her ultrasound , you looked distinctly moved . spinelli : well , the miracle of life . [ chuckles ] ellie : i was thinking more about the biological imperative , which is difficult to ignore . so , i have to ask -- do you see yourself , someday , having children of your own ? spinelli : well , i mean , the thought of children has -- at this point , it 's only been in the abstract . you know , that sort of vague `` someday that would be nice `` hypothesis . but i - i have to admit , i think i would enjoy the company of a little jackal . [ chuckles ] instructing him on the finer points of d & d or instructing her on how to , you know , hack into her first mainframe . so , yeah . yes . the answer is yes . i - i do want children . ellie : then i think it 's only fair to tell you ... i do n't . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu ? lulu ! oh , my god . baby , can you hear me ? honey , can you hear me ? [ scene_break ] luke : all right . yes . i am here to stop this stupid wedding . scott : yeah , well , i knew it . lucy : okay , you know , i -- remember -- hey -- puerto rico -- those little rum drinks with the umbrellas ? we loved them . metro court has the best recipe . come on . let 's just go . please . scott : that 's a good idea , spencer . why do n't you find a waterfront bar and sauce up ? that 's what you 're good at . luke : you deserve so much more than this pathological loser , laura . scott : oh , come on . do you think anybody 's really buying your little rant here -- that i 'm dangerous to laura ? luke : of course , you 're dangerous for her , because you 're not the right man ! laura : all right ! then who is ? [ scene_break ] duke : you have nothing to worry about when it comes to felicia . i 've seen the way she looks at you . she 's head over heels in love . mac : that was before frisco showed up . duke , frisco was felicia 's first love . i mean , she sees him , brings up all the memories , all the feelings they shared . i ca n't compete with that . duke : do n't be so sure . that 's all anna and i have -- our wonderful , wonderful memories . look how that turned out for me . [ scene_break ] anna : wow . i remember this day . you and frisco were so in love . it was an honor to stand up for you . felicia : [ chuckles ] but i 'm with mac now . anna : right . felicia : and we have a history , too . and there were years after frisco took off to become a full - time agent . sometimes mac and i were friends , and sometimes we were lovers , but he was always my rock -- the one that i could count on . he never failed me . anna : mac 's a wonderful man . felicia : yeah . he is . and i thought i finally had it clear in my head when we got married , but i was wrong , because i let him down . and to make matters worse , i left mac to raise my daughters . i missed out on raising my daughters , because i was chasing after frisco . we always agreed to meet up in one city or another city , and he would never show up , and i got it . i 'm not the priority . anna : right . felicia : he wants to love me when it 's convenient for him . anna : yeah . felicia : but he did n't want a life with me . anna : do you think he 's changed at all ? felicia : well , he says he has . anna : right . felicia : but even if it 's true , it 's too late for us . so , why do i keep carrying this picture around with me ? why ca n't i stop thinking about the way things used to be ? anna : you 're asking the wrong person . really . join the club . felicia : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] frisco : you know , honey , all those years away , i told myself that it was for the greater good , that i was serving my country ... and that i 'd be able to make up the time i lost with you and your sister . but what i really did n't realize is that ... once time is gone , it 's gone ... maxie : [ sniffles ] frisco : ... for everyone , and it ... really does n't matter if you 're alive or dead . maxie : [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] i really wish you could have known georgie . she was so smart , and i do n't mean that she got straight a 's , which she always did . [ chuckles ] but she was really smart about people . she gave great advice . and she was kind and forgiving . no matter how badly i would screw up , my little sister would always be on my side . [ both chuckle ] i miss that . i miss her . you would think after all these years that i would used to it , but , um ... i still ca n't really believe she 's gone . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] dante : [ groans ] [ sighs ] lulu ? lulu ! lulu ! [ scene_break ] duke : as it was our first date , i wanted it to be romantic . i wanted to recapture the magic . [ scene_break ] anna : so , we arrive at the metro court . [ scene_break ] duke : i promptly ordered a bottle of wine . i thought it was the correct vintage . i hoped it was . [ scene_break ] anna : ' 85 cabernet -- my favorite . felicia : well , that sounds wonderful . anna : yeah , it was lovely . [ sighs ] until it was n't . felicia : what happened ? anna : oh , so we had our expensive meal , and then the waiter brought the check , and duke paid with cash . [ scene_break ] duke : very quickly , the waiter returned with the check and told me that the bills were counterfeit . mac : how did you end up with funny money ? duke : well , suffice it to say when you do business with tracy quartermaine , it 's a very good idea to keep your eye on your back . mac : noted . i got to be honest with you -- this does n't sound too bad . duke : really ? which part -- the fact that i 'd been paying for everything with forged money , or the fact that anna had to pay for the meal with her own credit card ? mac : so the evening did n't go perfectly . that does n't mean you ca n't get anna back . [ scene_break ] felicia : it 's over ? why ? anna : because the mere fact that duke was in a position to take counterfeit money from tracy -- that points to a larger problem . felicia : which is what ? anna : which is he always cuts corners to get what he wants . and even if that means being on the wrong side of the law , so be it , you know ? which ... is a serious complication considering that i am the law . how are we supposed to be together if we 're on opposite sides ? [ scene_break ] duke : once we had faison 's ridiculous masquerade behind us , nothing was gon na get in our way . i was wrong . you know , i think maybe what anna and i had was just too long ago . [ scene_break ] anna : as much as i loved duke , i just -- our relationship is 20 years in the past . is it even practical to try to rekindle it ? felicia : i 'm in the same boat . as much as i cherish my memories with frisco and that first love , we 're just not the same . it 's over between us . [ scene_break ] maxie : when you were talking about losing your family , i think that -- i think i understand what that means . frisco : i want another chance with you , maxie . and your mom . maxie : mom ? frisco : i love your mom . i want her back . maxie : you 're serious . frisco : honey , i know your mom and i have had our -- you know , our problems , but , you know , feelings like that are very real , and i want to know if we can get back what we had . maxie : a - and you think that you could just come back here and expect her to try again ? frisco : yeah , i understand why you 'd be skeptical . we did have dinner the other night . maxie : and ? frisco : well , she sort of made a show of letting me know she wants me to leave town . maxie : oh , dad . oh , i do n't think that was a show . i think she wants you to leave town . frisco : honey , please . now , i know your mom and i have had sort of a weird life together , but the feelings we have are very real . maxie : no , um , this is not fair , okay ? mom is with mac , and after all the times she screwed up and hurt him , he forgave her , and they worked things out , and they 're happy . frisco : i think she 'd be happier with me . maxie : i love mac , and i do not want to see him get hurt . frisco : and i will always be grateful to mac for taking care of my girls , but that does n't mean that he 's right for your mother . maxie : i understand how you could feel that way , but , um , i 'm not sure that i do . frisco : well , unfortunately , honey , in situations like this , someone usually gets hurt . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you do n't want children ? ellie : i do not . spinelli : i - i 'm sorry . that surprises me . i - i - i 've seen you with children . you were a natural at that hospital st. patrick 's day party . ellie : well , who would n't want to lead 15 peds patients on a leprechaun hunt ? spinelli : someone who might not want children . ellie : [ sighs ] damian , my love for children has nothing to do with my reluctance to reproduce . frankly , the notion of bringing a child into this world just seems ... unfair to me . spinelli : bringing a child into the world to love and care for seems unfair ? ellie : what kind of world would any child inherit ? i mean , every day , humans are fighting for a finite amount of resources which , thanks to man , are becoming ever more scarce . look at what we 're doing to our environment . global warming , pollution , toxic waste -- ugh . i just -- i try so hard to be a part of the solution , but sometimes i just feel really overwhelmed . spinelli : okay , but ... a sense of disappointment , even futility , environmentally speaking -- that 's no reason to put a permanent kibosh on parenthood . ellie : i just would n't feel right leaving a son or a daughter on a dwindling planet with diminishing resources . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , but the idea of tiny jackals is off the table for me . i really hope it 's not a deal breaker . spinelli : ours is a ... relatively new romance . i mean , it 's much too soon to be contemplating 2.5 offspring and a white picket fence . ellie : [ chuckles ] i 'm not saying we need to have a white picket fence . in fact , i 've always been more partial to weathering wood , myself . but we are in a committed relationship . and when i thought i would never walk again , you did not leave my side . and you gave me your strength during my recovery . i know i can count on you . spinelli : i , too , see a future for us . but , i mean , as a scientist , you , of all people , should know that -- that the future is not a -- it 's not a set point , right ? it 's -- it 's a fluid wave . the world -- the world changes . oceans recede , plants mutate , new species come into being , and it 's not just in nature . men and women evolve , too . so , it 's possible that you might change your mind . ellie : or perhaps you 'll change yours . spinelli : possible . but i - i do n't see that as a likely outcome . ellie : oh . well , the reagents need to sit overnight , so , uh , i guess our work here is done . we should probably just head home . [ scene_break ] laura : i think i deserve an answer . if scotty 's not the right man for me , who is ? luke : i do n't know , laura . i just know it is n't this . [ cell phone rings ] luke : hang on . oh , it 's lulu . probably calling to say she 's not gon na make the wedding 'cause she does n't want you to marry him , either . hey , cupcake . dante : luke . [ breathing heavily ] luke , it 's dante . lulu 's missing . [ scene_break ] mac : anna has a rather colorful background -- you know , everything from fencing stolen jewels to being a double agent . i 'm sure that gives her a certain empathy towards other people 's transgressions . she did marry you . duke : what are you saying ? mac : i 'm saying her line about being on opposite sides of the law was an excuse . duke : for what ? mac : so she can hide from her true feelings . duke : anna does n't hide from anything . she 's not afraid of anything . she 's one of the bravest people i 've ever known . mac : [ chuckles ] you 'd be surprised what scares people -- like facing what 's inside her own heart . but anyway , you know , you can still get anna back . do n't give up on her yet . duke : well , do n't you give up . i can assure you -- these are real . mac : i have no doubt . duke : hello , felicia . felicia : hello , duke . duke : see you . mac : good night . i , uh , was n't sure i 'd see you tonight . it seemed like maybe you were busy . felicia : well , i got your message , and you 're absolutely right . we do need to talk about frisco . the friend that i met for dinner the other night -- it was him . mac : i sort of figured that out . felicia : it 's not what you think . the only reason why i agreed to meet with frisco is because i wanted to ask him to leave town . i think it 's the best choice for all of us . mac : so , i was right . frisco wants you back . felicia : yes , he does . mac : how do you feel about that ? [ scene_break ] frisco : listen , i want to apologize . i -- i 'm sorry i dumped that stuff about your mother on you . maxie : it 's okay . frisco : no . no . no . it 's really not . you 've got plenty on your plate right now . i sometimes just ca n't help the way i feel . maxie : dad , i get it , okay ? we ca n't help who we love . but we also ca n't expect them to want us back after we 've hurt them ... repeatedly . frisco : right . well , honey , i guess i just feel a little bit differently . i kind of believe that when two people love each other -- and i think your mother still loves me -- you do n't let that go . you fight for it . thanks for the chat . i love you . maxie : i love you , too . thanks for the pizza .

[ scene_break ] sam : well , i guess i should start by saying before i knew that alexis was my mother , i -- i did n't like her . in fact , i - i actually -- i could n't stand her . and i - i told you about my daughter , right ? how i was pregnant by sonny . silas : she was stillborn . sam : yeah . i was at risk for abruptio placenta , and i was supposed to avoid stress . but kristina got sick , and ... alexis was desperate , and she , uh -- she basically had a meltdown on me , and my blood pressure spiked . silas : hey , sam . you do n't have to explain all this . i know how it all works . sam : you know , so i really did n't have any use for alexis anymore . and then -- surprise -- i found out that she was my mother . and not long after that , i was shot [ groans ] and alexis blamed jason , and jason blamed himself . alexis convinced jason to break up with me . and even worse than that ... she convinced him to call off the engagement , and i just was devastated . then i was in -- i was in a free fall . silas : sounds like you had every right to be . sam : alexis asked me to move in with her . and she and ric were having a lot of problems , and there was one night when alexis and i had this knock - down , drag- out fight , and she stormed off , and [ exhales sharply ] she left me alone there with ric . silas : one thing leads to another . sam : i was drinking ... a lot . not that that makes up for anything . i regretted it before it even started . ric -- i did n't even like him . he was -- he was a liar . he was a manipulator . even worse than that , he was obsessed with his brother . i mean , his half -- his half - brother . he 's been nursing this grudge against him , and he 's just been consumed by it . silas : is his half - brother anybody we know ? sam : sonny . yeah , they still despise each other .

[ scene_break ] brad : now , i do n't have a medical degree , but i have seen enough biopsies to know cancer when i see it and when i do n't , and that is not cancer . so , you were right and mayes was wrong . uh , whatever 's going on in tracy quartermaine 's head -- i 've never seen anything like it before . griffin : i think i have . brad : really ? then what is it ? dr. mayes : dr. munro . your presence is requested .

[ scene_break ] alexis : ms. falconeri , can you please tell the court where you were on tuesday , the morning of january 19th ? olivia : yes . my son leo and i were attending a baby - yoga class held at the hotel that i co - own , the metro court . alexis : and where did you go after the class ? olivia : well , i - i was approached by the mayor to discuss a luncheon that she was planning on throwing at the hotel 's restaurant . lomax : ms. falconeri insisted on her son joining us , despite my offer to schedule a sit - down at a later time . alexis : was the meeting planned ? olivia : no . we just ran into each other . alexis : and why did n't you reschedule ? olivia : well , i did n't feel comfortable asking her to wait . she is , after all , the mayor . lomax : it was a routine - enough meeting . at first . olivia : the meeting cut into leo 's feeding schedule , so i had a choice . i could either let him go hungry or i could let him eat . lomax : and that 's when she bared her breast . alexis : how do you feed your son , ms. falconeri ? olivia : i breastfeed . alexis : why not a bottle ? olivia : because breastfeeding fosters a very special bond between me and my son , because it 's healthful for my son and for me , and because it 's my right . lomax : i have no qualms with breastfeeding . but i , like many others , just do n't feel it is suitable in a public space , and i told ms. falconeri so . olivia : i hear the complaints of the mayor and others , and i 'm gon na say to them now what i said then . if you do n't like it , lump it . new york state law says that there is nothing wrong with public breastfeeding . lomax : the matter did not end there . olivia : mayor lomax threatened to have me arrested for public indecency for doing a natural , lawful thing . diane : ms. falconeri , were you arrested for public indecency ? olivia : no . diane : but you were arrested . olivia : yes . diane : what was the charge ? olivia : assaulting the mayor . [ spectators murmur ] alexis : mayor lomax , can you tell the court what the alleged assault consisted of ? mayor lomax ? lomax : i was bumped into . alexis : did that require a lot of stitches ? diane : objection . [ light laughter ] diane : ms. falconeri , did any officer of the law ever force you to stop breastfeeding your son ? diane : oh , oh . it was your choice , was n't it ? alexis : mayor , did you press charges against my client for assault ? lomax : no . alexis : were charges filed against my client ? lomax : no . alexis : so the only crime committed was the one against my client . diane : [ scoffs ] objection , your honor . counsel is testifying . judge horowitz : sustained . careful , ms. davis . alexis : yes , your honor . have other guests breastfed in the metro court restaurant ? carly : yes . alexis : and what is the hotel policy on the subject ? carly : mothers are welcome to feed their children any way they choose . diane : mrs. corinthos , were you present for the altercation between the plaintiff and my client ? carly : no , i was not . diane : did you question your staff about the incident ? carly : yes , i did . diane : and what did they tell you happened ? carly : how can you ask me that ? is n't that hearsay ? diane : did you suddenly go to law school , hmm ? your honor , i am merely asking the witness to relay a conversation that she had with her staff . judge horowitz : the witness will answer the question . carly : the waitress said that olivia went off on the mayor and almost flipped a table on her . diane : thank you , counselor corinthos . no further questions . alexis : commissioner ashford , what is the new york state law on breastfeeding in public ? jordan : not withstanding any other provision of law , a woman may breastfeed her baby at any location , public or private , as long as she 's authorized to be there . alexis : and does a woman have to cover up in any way ? jordan : no . breastfeeding is legal irrespective of whether the nipple of the woman 's breast is covered during or incidental to the breastfeeding . alexis : and what mechanism is in place to compel an institution to follow the law should it refuse to comply ? jordan : there is none . diane : commissioner , has your department ever received a single complaint that any institution has failed to observe this law ? jordan : not to my knowledge . alexis : i rest my case , your honor . diane : your honor , the city rests . judge horowitz : then let 's wrap this up . closing arguments , please . [ scene_break ] tracy : him again ? monica : dr. munro has always thought that cancer was not the source of your symptoms , so i think it 's time we now heard him out . dillon : so what do you have to say , doctor ? tracy : oh , please , go ahead . float your theory . griffin : i agree that the lesions on your brain are not cancerous , but i can understand why that was the assumption . in my career , i have seen numerous infections masquerade as cancer . dillon : what infection ? tracy : you think that 's what this is ? griffin : yes . the lesions on your brain are not comprised of human tissue . there is a foreign agent at work . tracy : what do you mean , a `` foreign agent `` ? what foreign agent ? griffin : well , i am trying to figure that out . now , after your seizure at the floating rib , you mentioned that you were in mexico recently . tracy : i was . why ? griffin : did you drink the tap water ? tracy : i never drink tap water . griffin : okay . what kind of things did you eat ? tracy : i was staying in a five - star resort . i ate only in the restaurant . griffin : no trips to see local sights , no snacks on the way ? tracy : no -- oh . dillon : mom ? tracy : there was ... one night . [ sighs ] ashton was in the suite next to mine . monica : your -- your ex - husband , larry ash -- oh , tracy , you did n't . tracy : i did n't ! i did n't . i - i - i -- we were having a -- a conversation , and at some point he offered me some ... local delicacies that he picked up in town . griffin : well , that could do it . monica : so you think the source might be foodborne ? tracy : i will kill ashton ! no , you know what ? i 'm gon na kill paul first , then i 'm gon na kill ashton . griffin : it 's a safe bet . but this is not my specialty . you 're going to need an infectious - disease doctor . monica : i know just who to call . [ scene_break ] curtis : let 's see . miss jordan was married to my brother . after he was killed , i helped her get a job with the dea . we were partners for a hot minute , but we were n't a good fit . we went from tense to unsustainable , so i moved on to a new career . end of story . valerie : that 's it ? curtis : disappointed ? valerie : why would n't you just say that in the first place ? curtis : i used it as bait to get a second date with you . if i 'd have told you from the beginning , you would n't be here right now , $ 500 richer . valerie : so that 's all ? curtis : i really prefer not to talk about it , much like you prefer not to talk about dante . valerie : so you picked up on that , huh ? curtis : picked up on what ? so , is our date over , or just beginning ? [ scene_break ] diane : your honor , ms. falconeri 's own testimony proves she was never forced to stop breastfeeding her child . the mayor was merely stating her view that , to her , the act was distasteful , an opinion she 's entitled to . it 's guaranteed under her first amendment rights to free speech . this case has absolutely no legal merit whatsoever , and i ask that it be rejected . thank you . alexis : defense counsel would have you believe that my client was not asked to stop feeding her child in the manner that she chose , in the manner that the law allows . that may be the literal truth . but it 's very misleading , and i 'll tell you why . the word of the highest elected official carries a lot of weight , especially when the law as writ does n't provide means for mothers of port charles to seek redress if the mayor , or other government actors , choose to impose upon them their beliefs of what they think is good and proper , or what they do n't . this has to be remedied . we 're asking the court to close the gap between the legislature 's intent and the actual law . we are asking the court to protect its mothers as its mothers protect and raise their children . thank you . [ applause ] judge horowitz : settle down . i am ready to make my ruling . i sympathize with the plaintiff 's plight . however , there are fundamental flaws in her case , flaws that stem from the facts and evidence , and thus altogether undermine this suit . it has been pointed out breastfeeding is already legal in this state . i see no need -- excuse me . carly : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm just helping a friend find her seat . you can see she has her hands full . judge horowitz : very well . as i was saying , breastfeeding is legal , and the plaintiff has presented no evidence to indicate the need for -- shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . what is going on ? woman : i 'm feeding my son . carly : like she 's legally allowed to do . judge horowitz : [ sighs ] i hardly think a courtroom is the appropriate place to feed a child . woman : uh , is there room for one more ? carly : oh , yes , there is . go over here . judge horowitz : what is the meaning of this ? carly : these kids are hungry . judge horowitz : ca n't they do that in the bathroom ? olivia : why should they ? ! what is wrong with what they 're doing ? ! molly : they 're not bothering anyone . kristina : yeah . what 's wrong with that ? maxie : leave them alone ! lomax : what 's wrong is that what 's natural to them is inappropriate and offensive to most others . nina : i 'm sorry . what 's offensive about it ? excuse me . excuse me . why is it okay for a man to take off his shirt in public , but it 's a criminal offense for a woman ? alexis : because it 's not criminal . that 's why . the new york state law allows for a woman to go topless anywhere that a man can . lomax : yes , but most people just do n't want to see that . olivia : well , then , they should n't look ! alexis : all right . judge horowitz : order ! i will have order in this court ! nina : no ! no ! there 's nothing out of order about this ! a woman has every right to breastfeed in public . if i was a mother , i would do it just right along with them . in fact , as alexis pointed out , i have every right , so here . what 's out of order about these , your honor ? !

[ laughing ] on the contrary . the public health records will show that the metro court has a spotless health record . in fact , these bogus code violations just happened to coincide with olivia falconeri 's lawsuit against you . that 's a blatant abuse of your power , mayor . trust me . this is gon na make bridgegate look like a day at the beach . lomax : but you 're my lawyer . diane : eh . i have a long - standing relationship with the corinthos family . that takes precedence . so , may i inform my client that the metro court will be able to reopen immediately ? lomax : yes . diane : oh , splendid . lovely working with you , mayor . be on the lookout for my bill . carly . carly : yes ? diane : give my best to sonny . molly : mom , you were amazing . alexis : thank you . kristina : we 're so proud of you . alexis : thank you , thank you . diane : congratulations , counselor . alexis : thank you , counselor . molly : mom , uh , we 'll wait for you outside . alexis : okay . i 'll see you later , girls . bye . diane : believe it or not , i think olivia 's underlying cause is just . alexis : mm . diane : [ clicks tongue ] but just so you know , i let you win . alexis : mm - hmm . mayor . lomax : i do n't know how you won this , but rest assured , it 's gon na cost you . you 've made an enemy .

[ scene_break ] bobbie : life is complicated , carly . you and sonny have gone a few rounds , but somehow ... you wind up back together again . maybe there 's a reason for that . or maybe this is the tipping point . only time will tell . carly : maybe it 's more than that , you know ? maybe i 'm getting exactly what i deserve . bobbie : no . let me stop you right there . the only people responsible for this are sonny and that lying tramp nelle . you do not own any of this . carly : mom , i know exactly who 's to blame for all this . yeah , and the fact that nelle deceived my entire family for months -- it makes me want to scream , especially because i 'm the one who invited her in . but i 've been thinking about this . hell , i 've been doing a lot of thinking since morgan 's death , and i keep trying to wrap my head around what 's going on , and i keep trying to make sense of everything , and i keep trying to find something real in all of this . and the only thing that i can come up with is a hypocrite . i mean , is n't that -- is n't that true ? who am i to unload on nelle for worming her way into my family and into my husband 's bed ? is n't that karma ? is n't this payback for what i did to you ? [ scene_break ] valentin : this pretense of yours that you do n't know anything or you 've somehow forgotten everything -- this is a real mind game . i mean , for what ? anna : well , what reason would i have ? what earthly reason ? so , you keep saying we have a past , but yet you -- you go out of your way to not speak of it . why ? why would you do that ? you want a truce ? prove it . just tell me what it is that i want to know and then we 'll be done with it . it 'll be settled once and for all . just ... valentin : you 're good . you are good . [ sighs ] i can almost believe that you truly do n't know what you 've done . anna : i do n't know ! valentin : all right , i 'll play along . ask me anything . anna : why was there a kill order against you issued in my name ? [ scene_break ] tracy : so , are you gon na ignore my question ? finn : seems only fair since you ignored mine . [ sniffles ] what are you doing in my room ? tracy : looking for you . your turn . did you take zen - zen today ? finn : no , i did n't . [ chuckles ] do i really look like somebody who got their fix ? i 'm trying to quit this thing , tracy . i even went so far as to call a rehab clinic . tracy : that 's commendable . but then , why was your kit open ? and what spilled on the floor ? [ cap clatters ] finn : i never said i did n't want zen - zen . i just said i did n't take any . this ? this represents the last of my supply , and i fumbled it away . tracy : well , you may have saved your life . finn : if you say so . tracy : you gon na offer me a drink ? finn : would you like a drink ? here . enjoy . tracy : thanks . actually , that 's not a word i would use . you look pretty miserable to me . and not for nothing , rehabs usually discourage drinking . but since this is your last hurrah , you really ought to spring for the good stuff . when are you checking in ? need a ride ? finn : no room at the inn . tracy : oh . so go in the morning . do you need me to pull any strings for you ? finn : i changed my mind . i realized i 'm not really a -- a group - therapy kinda guy . i ... i know i need to do this , but i need to do it alone , on my terms . tracy : how asinine can you get ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i do n't see how it 's any of your business what dr. finn does during his leave of absence . elizabeth : hayden , you may as well just tell her the truth . okay , dr. finn does n't want anybody to know , but he is working on an article about his cure . it 's for a prestigious medical journal . dr. obrecht : is this true ? elizabeth : yeah . dr. obrecht : a prestigious medical journal ? which one ? elizabeth : oh , well , we ca n't say . dr. obrecht : well , did n't take long for his ego to kick in , did it ? i should 've known he 'd be the first to believe his own hype . elizabeth : well , maybe after his generous contribution and all his hard work , he was just needing some time off . and when he comes back , i 'm sure he 'll be a better doctor for it . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] we 'll see . this time next year , he 'll probably be on a book tour . hayden : [ sighs ] i did n't need you to save me , if that 's what you were trying to do . elizabeth : oh . she 's a pain . and besides , i think i have a pretty good idea what you 're going through with finn . if you ever want to talk , i 'm around . hayden : no . i 'm good . [ scene_break ] anna : there was a kill order against you issued in my name , and i have no memory of it . but you clearly do . valentin : you ca n't leave that alone ? anna : no , you owe me the truth . valentin : i owe you n - nothing ! [ sighs ] [ exhales deeply ] i could 've pressed charges when you broke into my home , but i did n't . i could 've left you for dead on my living - room floor , but i did n't . i want no part of this twisted game . i just want to forget that we ever knew each other . anna : well , just tell me what happened ! because i would never , ever order a hit against a fellow agent . never . unless you flipped . were you on the other side ? were you working for the dvx ? that 's it . [ scene_break ] nelle : carly and i had a difference of opinion on what my job entailed . nina : hm . listen , you seem like a highly capable young woman . but , um [ chuckles softly ] i really do n't want to get in the middle of a disagreement between you and carly , so ... i 'm sorry . nelle : no , it 's okay . um , no , i under -- i understand . thank you anyway . charlotte : nina , look . nelle helped me add up these numbers . nina : oh , my gosh . wow . you added up all of those numbers ? charlotte : it 's fun . thanks for helping me , nelle . nelle : of course . i knew you could do it . high five . [ both chuckle ] nelle : i better get going . [ sighs ] um , thanks again for letting me keep the dress . i 'll use it for interviews . nina : okay , yeah . nelle , nelle , wait a second . wait a second . wait a second . listen ... well , charlotte obviously loves you . and you would be a huge asset in preparing her for school , so ... let 's just do the interview . nelle : really ? now ? 'cause -- 'cause i have my -- i have my résumé on a flash drive , so i can just -- nina : no , do n't worry . do n't worry . do n't worry . you already pretty much recited your résumé . and i 'm sure that carly did a background check on you before she hired you . so , um , there is just one thing -- whoever takes care of charlotte , i need to know them on a personal level . nelle : okay . what did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : carly , carly . what good does it do to dredge up past mistakes ? we put all of that to rest years ago . carly : i know . and i 'm grateful . but i never truly understood what i put you through until now . i mean , you and tony were trying to rebuild your marriage and your lives after losing b.j . , and i destroyed that by sleeping with him . bobbie : oh , honey . my marriage to tony was in trouble long before you blew into town . carly : but you guys never got back together afterwards , mom . bobbie : because other things came up . i mean , it 's true -- we separated because of what happened , but infidelity does n't have to end a marriage . tony and i both made choices that kept us apart . i mean , you remember how he -- he lashed out at the world . he took a dark turn . you know that better than anyone . and i was just trying to heal , make peace with myself and with you . carly : you 're not suggesting i should forgive nelle . bobbie : oh , hell no . you were my daughter . and i loved you , even when i could n't admit it to myself . the situation with nelle is completely different . i mean , despite her connection to joss , she is not your flesh and blood . you showed her love and she stabbed you in the back . you owe her nothing . and the sooner you put her out of your mind , the better . carly : thank you . thank you for being on my side . [ chuckles ] bobbie : always . you know , it 's a good thing you were n't here earlier because nelle was . carly : i 'm not afraid of running into her . she needs to be afraid of running into me . bobbie : oh , well , yes , and that 's exactly the point i was trying to make to her . and i told her to get out or i would call security and have her thrown back in the gutter where she belongs , and she went running for the elevator . carly : oh , gosh . [ both laugh ] carly : oh . looks like security 's gon na get a second chance at her . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] hayden : i 'm busy ! please come back . elizabeth : hey . hayden : [ scoffs ] like i said , come in . elizabeth : i wanted to explain why i was so over - the - top about finn . hayden : there 's no need . you 've been amazingly , annoyingly gracious about the whole thing . elizabeth : when i saw him stealing meds , alarm bells went off in my head , and all i could think about was what lucky had put me through , and i just did n't want you to be blindsided like i was . and i do n't mean to push . i just know what you 're going through . i know it 's not easy . if there 's anything i can do for you , you know where to find me . hayden : elizabeth . wait . stay . please . [ scene_break ] tracy : and what makes you think you can just quit ? [ bottle clatters ] finn : [ sighs ] i 'm not sick anymore . i 'm ... i 'm better able to cope . tracy : [ chuckling ] oh , really ? you 've been cured for months . you 're still using . in fact , you were caught stealing medication . that sounds like a bottom to me . why do n't you call the rehab back ? finn : mnh - mnh . tracy : then why do n't you let the professionals at general hospital help you ? finn : no . i do n't want them knowing my business , all right ? and i do n't want to be in some -- some program that boxes me in and makes me do things their way , all right ? i 'll lose my mind . do you understand ? i 'll lose my damn mind . [ sighs ] i just ... i ca n't do it . i ca -- i ca n't do it . i know what will happen . i 'll walk out the door . i 'll leave , and then i 'm right back to where i started . tracy : oh , okay . so what 's your plan ? um , let 's see . drink yourself into a stupor for 28 days ? finn : that does n't sound like a bad plan . i know withdrawal 's gon na be a bitch , all right ? but ... roxy and i can get through it . right , roxy ? now , at the risk of sounding rude , do you mind just leaving me alone ? tracy : nope . i 'm not leaving you alone . [ glass thuds ] finn : listen -- it 's not about you , tracy . you ca n't help me . tracy : hayden can . call her . finn : she ca n't help , either . tracy : yeah , not if you do n't let her in . finn : stay out of this , tracy , please . i can do this on my own . tracy : when hayden needed you , you were right there by her side . let her do that for you . finn : i do n't want her to see me like this ! tracy : she loves you ! she wants to be there for you . oh , finn . let her in . let somebody in . finn : no . i do n't need anybody . i do n't need you . i do n't need her . and the last person that should be giving relationship advice is you ! [ scene_break ] michael : i feel like an idiot , okay ? i feel stupid . dante : well , you 're neither . michael : yeah , well , i sure acted like it . i mean , what ? i - i could sidestep a hostile takeover , but i could n't see that nelle was up to no good ? i mean , she played all of us . she used me as a pawn in a scheme against my own mother . dante : wow . would you just take it easy ? y - you 're not a mind reader . you just said she played everybody . michael : yeah , but i should 've known better . given who my family is on both sides , i should 've been more on guard for all of us . i - i was too trusting when she came into our lives . i - i made this happen . dante : okay . so , what 's the solution ? you become a cynic ? you build walls , be a player ? that 's not you , and it 's no way to live . michael : yeah , well , this is n't easy . i hate -- i hate not knowing how to feel . nelle -- nelle -- nelle , she told me -- she told me she was gon na turn things around , that she wanted to have a fresh start and just clean slate . but even -- even after everything that she 'd done , for a second , i ... i did . i wanted to believe her . dante : do you believe her ? michael : [ sighs ] i ... it does n't matter . nelle did what she did . and now everyone 's hurting . dante : well , you know what does matter ? if it helps you figure out whether or not you can forgive her . [ scene_break ] carly : you 've got to be kidding me . bobbie : you wait right here . i 'm going to take out the trash . carly : no . bobbie : you have the gall to show your face in here again ? nelle : you know what ? i do n't want any trouble . carly : then you should 've thought twice before you came to my place of business , nelle . nina : wait a second . wait a second . there is a child present . um , i know that there was some disagreement between you and nelle regarding her job , but , uh , let 's be mindful of little ears . carly : okay . well , nina , you 've been misinformed . and i would be more than happy to let you know why i felt it necessary to terminate nelle 's employment , but you are right . it is not a conversation for little ears . nina : um ... hey , there 's an empty table right there . why do n't you show nelle some of your new puzzles ? nelle : yes , show me your puzzles . nina : carly , i 'm sorry . i - i do n't know what 's going on between you and nelle . i do n't know . but i just want you to know that my nanny quit abruptly , and i need someone who -- i was about to give her an interview . carly : hiring nelle will be the worst mistake you ever make . [ scene_break ] valentin : so , your selective memory includes forgetting all the days you spent as a double agent ? anna : no . valentin : trading state secrets to the highest bidder ? you say that i 'm a traitor ? that 's what you are . anna : no . valentin : you can transfer all you want . you can project that you are the one responsible for what i have become . anna : oh , come on . what ? because i refused to kiss you ? seriously ? that is what justifies you selling out ? valentin : no . you are either lying to my face ... anna : no . valentin : ... again , about the cruelest thing that you ever did to me , or you are truly so ashamed that you have blocked it out . more likely , you have lied about it so much ... anna : do n't call me a liar ! valentin : ... that are believing the lie yourself ! anna : what about the lies that you tell and the secrets you keep and this man that you really are inside of this -- this charming exterior ? what about him ? valentin : you 're bleeding . [ scene_break ] carly : i have to say , i 'm a little surprised that you would even consider hiring nelle without asking me why i fired her . nina : i - i was just in the process of interviewing her . if i would 've gone forward , i would 've definitely called you for a reference . carly : all right , well , i 'll spare you the trouble . i fired nelle because she slept with my husband . yeah . and her real last name is benson . and she is the daughter of my adopted father , and it 's a long , sad story , but the truth is , nelle has a grudge against me . and the whole time that she was making herself indispensable to my family , she was setting me up for revenge . so , all the warmth and the kindness are just an act . she 's despicable , and she 's manipulative . so , you need to proceed at your own risk . nina : i 'm so sorry . obviously , i did not know this . carly : i know . th - that 's why i 'm telling you . nina : it 's just ... she was so good with charlotte , and charlotte loves her . carly : yeah . josslyn and avery loved her . hell , i did , too , until i found out the truth . bobbie : i can guarantee lulu wo n't want nelle anywhere near her daughter . nina : um , i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but who valentin and i hire for charlotte 's nanny has nothing to do with lulu . bobbie : like hell it does n't . lulu is charlotte 's mother . she should have a say in who raises her child . carly : hey , mom ... nina : mm - kay . um , before this gets any more awkward , i 'm just gon na take nelle and charlotte and we 're gon na go . bobbie : no , no , no . wait a minute . hold it . just a minute . charlotte is a spencer , whether you and valentin like it or not . now , maybe you do n't care enough to want to protect that child from nelle , but i certainly do . nelle : look , ms. reeves . bobbie : and so will her mother . nelle : i really do n't want to cause any more trouble , so let 's just call off the interview . nina : um , you know what ? no need . the interview is done . i just want to tell you -- you 're hired . [ scene_break ] hayden : i know a little bit about addiction , so i know finn 's got ... real challenges ahead of him , and i can see that i 've been a classic enabler -- begging and pleading and reasoning , even threatening him . anything to make him get the help that he needs . elizabeth : of course . you love him . hayden : yeah , well , i even tried guilting him with that . i said things like he valued his drugs over me , but it did n't work because it 's true . no matter what i said or did , he refused to get help . and no matter how many times i told him i would be there for him , he kept pushing me away . the other night , after you and franco left , i - i told him i would go home with him , and i would support him , but he did n't want me to . he -- he said that he had to deal with this alone . so i let him go , and i have n't seen him since . and i do n't know , am -- am i doing that because that 's the right thing to do ? or is it because i 'm scared i 'm not up for the job , you know ? elizabeth : you ca n't help finn until he 's ready to help himself . hayden : yeah , but he 's so stubborn . how am i gon na get through to him from a distance ? elizabeth : and i used to ask myself that same question before lucky got clean . i tried and tried to get through to him , and i thought it was up to me to get him to see the light , but it turns out it was n't . his father got through to him . hayden : yeah , well , finn does n't have anyone else . other than roxy . [ scoffs ] elizabeth : well , you never know who might break through . sometimes it 's the least likely person who winds up having the biggest impact . but you need to stop feeling guilty and make peace with the fact that person may not be you . [ scene_break ] tracy : fine . if you wo n't call her , i will . finn : [ chuckles ] your hypocrisy knows no bounds . what is your track record for marriage again ? tracy : excuse me . [ cell phone thuds ] tracy : what does that have to do with this ? and , by the way , i have plenty in my life to live for . thank you for that . finn : of course . yeah , of course . but , you know , since we 're just two pals being brutally honest with each other , why do n't we go down that greatest - hit list , huh ? let 's run it . let 's see . there 's a -- there 's a family business that you keep chasing after even though they fire you every chance they get . and you live in that big , old house up on the hill by the sheer grace of your brother 's widow . and from what i can tell from our conversations , you got two kids that are so self - involved they do n't realize how alone you really are , which might explain why you married so many con artists . 'cause after all , really , there is no mark like a rich , lonely woman who never got over her daddy issues . i 'm sorry . that went too far . i do n't even know why i said that . i was just trying to push you away ... make it so you would n't call hayden . i ... i did n't mean what i said . tracy : yeah , you did . you meant every word . and what you said is true -- not all of it , but enough . my circle is very limited . i never , uh , took much stock in friendships . i always thought that going it alone was the way to go . but the funny thing is ... alone is alone . and as i look around , i see that most of my family is gone . the number of christmas cards has diminished . and when i lie in bed at night , i wonder ... what would my life look like if i had let more people in ? just a couple . is that what you want for your life , finn ? [ scene_break ] michael : even if i can get past what nelle pulled , how could i ever be with her ? she tried to destroy my family . dante : [ clears throat ] michael : i mean , think about that . she pretended to -- to care about avery and -- and to care about josslyn , and the whole time , she was working to break up their home . no , and she succeeded . now -- now avery is living with dad and josslyn 's living with mom . how is that fair to anyone ? dante : all right , i knew you were gon na say that . michael : say what ? dante : this whole conversation we 're having , me playing devil 's advocate , it 's not 'cause i 'm invested in you being with nelle . it 's because time and time again , i 've seen you sacrifice yourself for everyone else . you always show up -- for sonny , carly , me , joss ... kristina , avery . michael : but they 're family . what am i supposed to do ? dante : you show up for yourself , man . michael : [ sighs ] dante : if you decide to kick nelle to the curb , i wo n't blame you . but just make sure that , if you do do that , you do it for you and no one else . i got to go . michael : all right . [ scene_break ] bobbie : unbelievable . wait until lulu hears . carly : mom , you 're not helping . nina : nelle , as of now , you are charlotte 's nanny . okay ? but that 's provisionally . one slipup , one lie , and you are fired . do you understand ? nelle : yes . yes . thank you . nina : okay . so , your first assignment is to take charlotte for some hot chocolate . then you 'll meet my husband , of course . um , here . let 's go . you want to get some hot chocolate ? charlotte : and a cookie ? nina : and a cookie , yeah , su -- well , you just had a cookie . you had -- okay , you can have another cookie . just one . here 's some money . here 's a card . just take it all . nelle : we got it . we got it . we got it all . nina : okay . thank you . have so much fun . nelle : okay , let 's go , charlotte . let 's get out of here . bobbie : if you did that to spite me , the joke is on you . because when that tramp winds up in bed with your husband , you will only have yourself to blame . carly : you lost your temper . i 've been known to do that myself a few times . it does n't make for the best decisions . nina : i did not hire nelle to spite your mother . i hired her because she has the appropriate background and because charlotte loves her . and also , because i believe , given the chance , people can change . it happened to me . i have a feeling it happened to you , too , carly . carly : oh , yeah , it did . mm - hmm . i made quite a few mistakes early on . and i was able to rebuild my life because someone gave me the benefit of the doubt -- absolutely . nina : why do n't we give nelle the same opportunity ? carly : maybe you 're right . or maybe nelle is going to use your kindness as an opening and betray you like she did me . do yourself a favor , nina -- watch your back . [ scene_break ] anna : it 's just a cut . it 's nothing . it 's not a cut . valentin : cuts do n't bleed that much . anna : well , they do when you 're on blood thinners . valentin : are you on blood thinners ? is that why you fell down at wyndemere ? anna : no . i was n't then . it -- it 's none of your business . valentin : wait , did you fall down at wyndemere , then i took you to the hospital , then they put you on blood thinners ? what is wrong ? what is happening to you , anna ? anna : i have cancer . valentin : i 'm so sorry . anna : it 's all right . it 's treatable . it 's not curable . but i 've been assured that i can live a full life , within certain limitations . so , there . valentin : i 'm sure you 're up to the challenge . anna : yeah . i 'll tell you what would help , would be peace of mind . valentin : here we go . anna : oh , why ? is it too much for you just to answer me ? please , just tell me the truth . tell me what i want to know . valentin : no . anna : do n't you dare leave . do n't you dare leave . do n't you -- valentin : do you want peace of mind ? then forget we were ever in each other 's lives . [ door closes ] anna : it 's anna devane . yeah , i 'm sure i am the last person that you would expect to hear from . but , uh , um , i have something really important that i need to talk to you about . [ ominous music ] [ scene_break ] finn : [ sniffs ] i would ask for forgiveness , but i do n't deserve it , and ... for the record , you have a lifetime of achievement to be proud of . tracy : i know i do . but i also have regrets . and if you are as smart as you think you are , you wo n't make the same mistakes i made . finn , going it alone seems like a really good idea , but what it is is really sad . you have a woman who loves you . she wants to share your struggles as well as your victories . the choice is yours . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] hayden : i really appreciate you listening and for your advice . elizabeth : i 'm just glad i could help . hayden : i 'm not in the mood to hug . elizabeth : okay .

[ scene_break ] michael : well , tell r & d they 'll have my sign - off once i 've reviewed the material . yeah , okay . well , no . first thing in the morning , as long as nothing else ... comes up . [ scene_break ] valentin : is there something about this nanny i should know ? nina : [ sighs ] i 'll explain it later . where were you all day ? valentin : well , in the spirit of full disclosure , and in lieu of your sudden murderous jealousy streak , i would like to tell you that i ... i was with anna . nina : okay . valentin : i went -- i went to see her to tell her i want to put our history to rest . for the sake of our family , i offered a truce . nina : nothing would make me happier . what did she say ? valentin : well , i do n't think it 's up to her to approve it . i 'm just gon na let go of an old grudge . because i meant what i said at the courthouse today . you and charlotte are all that matter to me . and my past is where it belongs -- it 's in the past . [ scene_break ] anna : oh . thank you for coming . [ door closes ] dr. obrecht : ordinarily , i do n't perform house calls , even for an old friend such as yourself . anna : well , this is n't for treatment or anything . i need something else . dr. obrecht : and what would that be ? anna : uh , answers .

[ scene_break ] georgie : why are you taking on my lousy grade ? my lousy grade , by the way . anyone else would take a b and be happy . dillon : because it 's frustrating . i 'm your husband . i 'm supposed to give you anything . i 'm supposed to enhance the quality of your life , not wreck it . georgie : dillon , you 're looking at this from the wrong angle . this -- this place , our life -- it has its advantages . dillon : yeah ? name one . we 're broke . we work in a diner , at jobs that tax all our energy away from us . between work , school , and trying to study , we get about a half an hour with each other a day , and that 's if we do n't fall asleep standing up . time spent , by the way , in a -- in a room that may as well be a freaking halfway house . we have a murderer down the hall . we have a confessed pervert across the way . so on top of everything else , i have to worry about whether or not you 're safe . and to top it off , you 're flunking . call me nearsighted , call me tunnel - visioned -- whatever . i 'm not seeing the advantages here , georgie . georgie : you love me , do n't you ? dillon : truly , madly , deeply . georgie : like i love you . and we 're here , we 're together , dillon . even when we sleep , we 're in the same bed . dillon : yeah , that 's a point . hmm . georgie : dillon , i 'm not flunking . i got a b. boo - hoo . as for kelly 's -- you know , i get to see our friends . it 's kind of nice . we rarely see manny . i do n't even think he knows we exist . and as for diego , he just took the whole avenging - sage 's - death part , you know , a little too far , but it 's -- it 's ok . dillon : all right , no . you know what ? you know where you lost me there ? when you started defending diego again . [ scene_break ] diego : if this is about me getting mugged on the pier , i already told you , it has nothing -- maxie : actually , this is about my sister -- who has managed to lead a violence - free life since the day they took you off in handcuffs until -- i do n't know , let 's see -- last night , which makes you the obvious link . diego , i really do n't want georgie to get hurt because of you . diego : you think i do ? maxie : actually , no . so for georgie 's sake , you need to tell jesse everything you know about those people who tried to beat you up . look , if something awful were to happen to georgie because she was stupid enough to be your friend , you would never forgive yourself . and i would do everything i could to make sure you would n't forget it . jesse : i 'll ask again . did the incident on the pier have anything to do with the guy you ratted out in prison ?

[ scene_break ] dillon : i wish i had something stronger for you . lulu : oh , it 's better that you do n't . a couple of drinks and i might rush over to wyndemere and have it out with valentin . most likely wind up traumatizing charlotte for the third and final time . pretty sure , three strikes and i would be out for good . dillon : okay , lulu , i 'm gon na say this , and it 's coming from a place of love . but you have got to take a breath , okay ? because you 're about to talk yourself into doing something crazy . lulu : i know . what -- what am i gon na do ? i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na scream at nina so that she can document it and take it back to her lawyer ? dillon : yeah , so it 's a good thing nina 's not here . lulu : yeah , it is . it 's actually a very good thing . dillon : look at that . your luck 's already turning around . lulu : you would not say that if you were at court this morning . the psychiatrist who is assigned to evaluate charlotte said that taking her away from her father would traumatize her . but , hey , let 's totally ignore the fact that my daughter has been brainwashed and is living with a murderer . dillon : wait , wait . i can not believe that the judge is n't allowing you anywhere near charlotte . lulu : it 's not exactly like that . the judge `` awarded `` me limited , supervised visitation with my daughter , on a schedule to be decided by the court , which diane thinks will be about once a week . and then in six months we 'll meet again to reevaluate . dillon : well , why did n't you say that ? i mean , you 're acting like today in court was a total disaster , but that sounds like a win to me . [ scene_break ] laura : i thought you were on our side . kevin : i 'm always on your side . laura : but then , how could you agree with andré 's recommendation ? kevin : i think taking charlotte away from the only living parent that she 's ever known will do more damage than lulu is capable of undoing . and that 's not knocking lulu 's mothering skills . andré evaluated charlotte . apparently , she 's happy where she is . laura : that 's only because she does n't know any different . kevin : it ... listen , i -- i have to believe that you and lulu both want charlotte to be whole and happy , more than you just want her to be yours . laura : [ sniffles ] so you 're telling me to be ... patient , to trust the court , to , uh , trust my daughter 's ability to forge a relationship with her daughter in the next six months ? kevin : that 's exactly the advice you gave lulu . laura : i know it is . it 's just that ... [ sighs ] i guess i 'm afraid that that 's not enough . kevin : why ? laura : because i think that valentin will find a way to rig that system against her , unless somebody gets out ahead of him . kevin : and that somebody is you ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : it 's not a good time to discuss this -- jason : no , no , no . this is as good a time as any . you know , business is getting more competitive . how -- how willing are you to share market profits with the other organizations ? sonny : i have to think this through . it 's not going to matter either way if i ca n't make it clear what the boundaries are and how the territories are divided . jason : okay , what about changing shipping routes ? i mean , that can really send -- send a message . sonny : i have to work with our partners in colombia . they are developing close ties with a new distributor in bogotá . [ scene_break ] rayner : good . [ scene_break ] jason : changing distributors now ? i mean , sonny , that could blow up in our face . these guys play hardball . sonny : listen to me . we 're going to have to have one - on - one negotiations . how soon can you get to colombia to deal with the sources , if you know what i 'm saying ? jason : i can -- i can be out of here tomorrow if that 's what you want . but how are we going to get these guys their money ? sonny : since when are you hands - on with the books ? you hate the business end of things . i do n't want you touching it . [ scene_break ] ric : you know , i never imagined that you were capable of something like this . i mean , a child -- not just any child , my nephew . it 's chilling to find out that somebody you were so intimate with can actually be lacking a soul . claudia : oh , you know what ? do n't pretend that you care what happened to michael . you could n't have planned this better . i dump you and you find something that you can blackmail me with . ric : oh , blackmail ? i do n't call it blackmail . i 'd actually call it creative justice . now , my problem is , how do i avenge michael ? the logical , ethical thing would be to give this dvd to sonny and just let the chips fall . claudia : i do n't know how you even say the word `` ethical `` with a straight face to me . ric : you see , if i do that , then sonny 's going to undoubtedly kill you , and that would just be such waste . claudia : do n't tell me . i still make your heart go pitter - pat . ric : killing you is not going to bring michael back . so come on , let 's -- you and me , let 's figure this out . how can we make this misfortune and your guilt , which is obviously very , very deserved , um , work for somebody here ? you know , somebody 's advantage ? claudia : somebody like you ? come on , ric , cut to the chase . if you 're going to blackmail me , do it . what do you want ? [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . lulu : hey . where are you going all dressed up ? johnny : oh , i left you a note . lulu : well , i got us some pad thai and egg rolls . you said that you wanted to have some thai food the other night , so i thought -- johnny : i 'm sorry , but this came up last minute , lulu . lulu : well , if kate is making you go to another `` crimson `` thing with maxie , she should give you some advanced notice . johnny : no , no , no , this has nothing to do with `` crimson . `` claudia and sonny are having a party . lulu : oh , so you taking maxie to that , too ? because i do n't remember getting asked to go . johnny : no , it 's actually going to be a bunch of representatives from all the different families . it 's all business . lulu : that does n't begin to explain why you 're going . johnny : my sister wants me there . think of it as like a coming out party for sonny so he can assert his -- lulu : you 're supposed to be out of the mob . johnny : i am . my sister needs me there . lulu : your sister ? that 's just an excuse . johnny : you know what ? you do n't understand . it 's not worth it . lulu : why do n't you just admit that you want to go back to the mob ? maxie : oh . more drama ? johnny : i do n't have time for this . excuse me . maxie : what did you do ? lulu : no , do n't . johnny is going to a party for the mob . and worse than that , he just walked out on me in the middle of a disagreement . maxie : do you even listen to yourself , ever ? johnny just left here because he was going to some mobster social event , which implies life or death , so maybe you should try to be a little more compassionate . [ scene_break ] ric : mm , i 'm going to have to give this some serious thought . what could i do with such valuable information , huh ? claudia : give it to me . i know what to do with it . ric : i 'm sure you would , but i 've got bigger plans . come on , claudia . surely , there must be something you 're willing to part with so that sonny does n't find out the man who was working for you shot michael . claudia : what do you want ? tell sonny if you 're going to tell him . ric : okay , or i could just keep my mouth shut and in exchange , you 'd give me what ? claudia : money ? i have millions of dollars in offshore accounts , ric . ric : no , no , no , money 's nice , but i 've got all i need . now , access to power , that 's a different story . so what can you offer on that end ? claudia : what do you want ? ric : well , for starters , i 'd really like for you to have a change in attitude , because this surly , nasty edge is just not attractive . claudia : yeah , it 's hard to get turned on when i 'm being threatened , ric . ric : well , you 're looking at it all wrong . i 'm not your enemy , claudia . claudia : really ? ric : yeah . why do n't you start looking at me the way you used to when we first got together , huh ? or better yet , if you 're having trouble with that , why do n't you look at me as the guy who 's holding your life in my hands ? okay ? ric : get dressed . there 's a party .

[ carly gasps ] jax : i 'm sorry . i broke the rules . carly : you promised . oh , is it bad news ? jax : yeah , it could be better . carly : was it the berlin deal ? jax : i do n't really want to talk about negative stuff right now . it 's fine . carly : well , i do n't really want to be selfish . and , you know , if i 'm going to be a good wife , i need to take the good with the bad , so -- it was the berlin project , was n't it ? i 'm so sorry . i know how excited you were about that . jax : no , it 's -- it 's okay . it 's just a zoning problem . i 'm sure that they 'll figure it out . carly : you know what ? when you 're annoyed , you sound just like your brother . jax : really ? carly : mm - hmm . i mean , at least you did from the other room . thank god you 're nothing like him . jax : yeah , well , i try not to be . carly : mm , no comparison . i 'm sorry , i do n't mean to speak ill of the dead , but i just think your brother took advantage of your love for him . and that is all that i am going to say about your brother tonight -- jax : okay . carly : after we renewed our vows . come sit next to me . hi . jax : you know what ? if we go back to bed now , we 're never going to make it to dinner . carly : and the problem with that would be ? jax : you said you were starving , remember ? carly : i am . okay . i guess there is more than one way to celebrate . i 'll be back in a minute . jax : okay . [ scene_break ] spinelli : it is most fortuitous that fair samantha pilfered the federal one 's i.d . now , i just need to transfer the high level security clearance onto the priestess ' i.d . winnifred : yes , so that i can go to the storage area and procure the flash drive that contains the classified documents that constitute the evidence against my friend . sam : okay , okay , but are you sure the flash drive is the only remaining evidence we have ? winnifred : yes . the tapeworm that the jackal ran ? it corrupted the file in the main system . and so far , that has remained undetected , which means time is of the essence . sam : what 's your progress ? spinelli : the jackal will not be defeated by fbi security measures . there 's more at stake than just my freedom . i fight to remain in the place that i call home with the people that i hold dear . winnifred : a little less editorializing and maybe a little more hacking , please ? there 's no telling how long agent rayner will be distracted by this mob summit . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , what about that one about the south american partners ? sonny : things need to settle , but i 'm very confident that -- man : mr. corinthos . sonny : paulie . paulie : you look well . sonny : thank you for coming . um , you do n't have a drink in your hand . i bought you your favorite brand of scotch , so -- paulie : always a gentleman , mr. corinthos . it 's good to have you back . sonny : that was a good start . jason : okay , back to the south american partners . will you -- we 're going to deal with it tomorrow . jason : no , there 's too many -- too many variables . sonny : okay , the partners there , they need to know that things are stabilized . once i 've proven that i 'm in control , i can guarantee you that the shipments will double in size -- jason : okay , as long as the quality is not effected ric : hey , why so tense ? come on , it 's a party . it 's not a hit . jason : why are you here ? sonny : i invited him . ric : yes , i am a guest . jason : well , you should have told me . ric : come on , jason . i 'm not here to cause trouble . i actually can be very useful to sonny . i want to help facilitate a fresh start . and with that , i can not stress enough how important it is that jason make a public show of stepping down tonight . you need to make it absolutely clear that he is your second and will not challenge your authority . [ scene_break ] carly : so do i look like a newlywed ? jax : you look absolutely beautiful . carly : oh . you seem distracted . jax : oh -- no , i was just thinking -- i was thinking about how i ca n't believe that i considered ending our marriage . i guess it takes nearly losing something to realize how precious it is . carly : hey , none of that . the point of renewing our vows was looking forward . jax : right . carly : not looking in the past . and hey , one of the best things to come out of our marriage almost crashing and burning was this . me being in your arms . this is where i belong . and complete trust . you taught me that . jax : right . why , i ca n't promise that i 'll be perfect . carly : oh , but we can promise to try . i know that i 'm always going to turn to you first , instead of trying to fix things on my own because that always gets me into trouble . and most importantly , i promise you to never keep a secret from you again . no more secrets . i 'm sorry . jax : okay . carly : mm . jax : if we do n't leave now , we 're never going to get out of this room . carly : oh , you 're right .

[ scene_break ] lulu : you know , i think that i get to be upset that johnny walked out on me in the middle of a disagreement after he swore to me a hundred times over that he did n't want anything to do with the mob . do you want some of this ? maxie : yeah , sure . um , i think you need to make up your mind , lulu . not to long ago you would n't have cared if your boyfriend was in the mob or not . lulu : oh , i do n't care . it 's johnny who cares . he made such a big deal about distancing himself from every bad thing that his family has done . maxie : well , obviously something has changed his mind . lulu : claudia . here . maxie : thank you . lulu : she breaks a fingernail and he rushes to go fix it . and that would be fine , if he would just own it . maxie : we 're not judgmental at all , are we ? lulu : it just -- it drives me crazy that johnny acts all tortured by the mob and he swears he 's staying away . and then , like , the first chance he gets , he turns around and walks into a mob meeting . and that would be fine if he would just admit it . maxie : maybe it 's not that simple . you should try to be a little more understanding . lulu : i 'm sorry , what ? maxie : claudia 's like the only real family that johnny has . she means a lot to him . so it makes sense that he would show up if she asked him to . lulu : since when do you know more about my boyfriend than me ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . why are you not in rochester ? patrick : how 's emma ? elizabeth : she 's fed , changed , sleeping , and adorable . patrick : i do n't know how i 'm going to thank you for everything you 've done here . elizabeth : you can start by getting robin . patrick : yeah , i 'm just trying to get more information on how to get my wife back , you know , with websites and pamphlets on postpartum depression . i still do n't know how to get through to robin . elizabeth : you 're not going to do it sitting behind a computer . you know , she still is just robin , who you love . what if you guys -- what if you got into some ordinary fight ? how would you fix it ? patrick : this is n't ordinary , elizabeth . you know , she got in a car . she made a decision to leave me and emma and her home and her job -- everything . elizabeth : i 'm pretty sure walking in with a list full of grievances is n't the way to reach her . patrick : so do i just ignore the fact that my whole world is upside down , let alone , emma 's ? let robin just convinced me that i 'm the one that 's mistaken again ? elizabeth : you need to drag yourself out of this house and face robin , or nothing is going to get better . [ scene_break ] brad : my grandfather taught me how to build everything . turning nothing into something . robin : hmm . i 'm not so sure i 'd brag about that . [ robin laughs ] brad : your hands are soft . robin : your hands are strong . i like a man that works with his hands . my , uh , my dad , when i was younger , he built us this great big tree house in the backyard . it was my special fort . i could go there and pretend to be anybody that i wanted . brad : so who do you want to be right now ? robin : nancy green from san francisco . brad : done . so this tree house , was it an all girl 's tree house or were boys allowed , too ? robin : well , that depended on the boy . of course , i was the boss , so i got to decide who comes in . brad : oh , a control freak . robin : yeah . it worked for me , up until -- anyway , i guess i 've always liked order , you know , knowing what to expect and when to expect it . i guess it comes from having an unpredictable childhood . brad : mm , i like a woman that 's not afraid to question herself . robin : yeah . lots of questions , not that many answers . but i 'm trying to be more spontaneous . brad : well , maybe i could help . robin : maybe you can . robin : wait , wait . oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . brad : it 's okay , it 's okay . i guess it was an all - girls tree house . [ brad chuckles ] robin : i have n't -- i have n't been fair to anybody , including you . brad : it 's okay . nancy , i like you . i do . robin : you do n't even know me . that 's not your fault . brad : look , i did n't mean to get you upset , okay ? if this date ended right now , i would be really , really happy . maybe i 'd be a little confused by the whole back and forth , and maybe i should n't be confused . i should just take it at face value . robin : no , you should n't have to deal with my garbage , i mean , it 's -- you deserve better than that . brad : i think that this breakup that you 're coming off of , it 's a lot more difficult than you 're pretending to let it be . robin : i thought i had found the one . well , i did find the one . i had the career of my dreams , a family that loves me . hell , i even decorated my house exactly how i thought it should look . but then one day i woke up and i thought , `` this is my life . `` it 's like , every decision that i 've ever made , all of the choices , they just turned out to be the wrong one . and i ca n't help but feel like i 'm drowning . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : patrick , i can so relate to what you 're going through . watching someone you love deal with something that you just do n't understand , and then you become the enabler and you both end up getting hurt . i know . i 've been there . patrick : so you think it 's comparable to what you went through with lucky 's addiction ? elizabeth : obviously it 's not the same thing , but yes , there are similarities . and i convinced myself that what i was doing was in lucky 's best interest . i was supporting him . i was understanding him . i was on the side of the angels . patrick : that 's a hell of a burden , is n't it ? elizabeth : but i knew that he was messing up and he was lying to me and cheating on me . and the more -- the angrier i got , the more hurt i became and the more i started to resent him . and the next thing you know , the breach was so deep , i could n't get past it . and i would really , really hate to see that happen to you and robin . patrick : you see , that 's the thing , elizabeth . i do n't want to criticize robin for something that she ca n't help . elizabeth : well , then do n't attack her . just be honest with her . and it 's not going to do you any good to beat yourself up . remember what it is that you really want . patrick : i want robin back here , home . i want her to get help . i want her to get well . i want us to be a family again . elizabeth : then go get your wife . [ scene_break ] winnifred : we ca n't stay here much longer . spinelli : there is n't a program the jackal ca n't master . transferring the federal one 's security clearance to the priestess ' i.d . should be child 's play . sam : give me rayner 's pass . i 'm going to go in there and get it myself . winnifred : no , agent rayner is very well - known . all it will take is for someone to take a closer look at that pass , and you 'll be arrested . sam : i have bluffed my way out of tougher situations . hand it over . spinelli : please , please . all i need is more time .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i want to thank you all for coming . i really appreciate it . i just want to talk to you about something . i know during these tough economic times that businesses all over the country have a choice to consolidate or to go bankrupt . with the unfortunate health problems facing anthony zacchara , i 've made a decision for the corinthos family to consolidate all associated businesses . man : okay . sonny : clear on that ? [ applause ] jason : sonny has my full support . the corinthos organization is back under his leadership . sonny : i appreciate that , jason . i know i can count on you . i always have . and i do n't think there is anybody in here who doubts the trust of my second in command . johnny : there 's something i want to say on behalf of the zacchara family . i ca n't think of anyone better equipped to take over than sonny corinthos . even my father could see that when he blessed sonny 's entry into our organization . well , the fact that sonny is my brother - in - law did n't hurt things , but i have total faith in my brother - in - law . it 's no secret that my father 's emotional problems have forced him into retirement . and trevor lansing may have been next in line , but he made some foolish mistakes -- [ cell phone rings ] johnny : that played against the family , and ultimately put us all in jeopardy . jason : yeah . rayner : say good night and get to my office . johnny : and stable leadership . i want to assure sonny that i 'm going to do everything i can to support his transition and the new regime . salud .

[ spinelli sighs ] spinelli : the jackal returns after a long and fruitless day . maxie : you never should have left . if you saw the wrong person , you could have been shot . are you hungry ? spinelli : mm - hmm . not to worry , i used the freight elevator to get to the fourth floor , then backtracked to the second floor using the stairs . i thought about traversing through the air ducts , a mode that i am much familiar with , but all this subterfuge may be in vain anyway . lulu : what happened ? spinelli : the mission to save the jackal is potentially doomed . and if i end up in prison , it is inevitable that maximista will further -- lulu : maximista will further what ?

[ scene_break ] luke : if what they 're saying is true , i do n't know how to help you . ethan : that 's not exactly what i needed to hear . luke : look , dodge , i was there when kristina flounced into the casino and would n't leave , i was there when she threw her nasty little tantrum and tossed that drink in your face , and i was there when sam came in blaming you for all of her sister 's problems and spouting a bunch of crap about men being brutalizing bastards who do nothing but victimize women . now , under those circumstances , i can see where a guy would snap and might do something that he did n't intend to do . ethan : so , what ? you think i did it ? luke : no , i did n't say that . what i 'm saying is that whether you did it or not , i will stand by you . ethan : you should have seen kristina when i found her . whoever could do that deserves whatever sonny has coming for him , but it was n't me . i was still pretty pissed when i left the casino . you know , i admit that . i went to the lake house to just talk to her , and there she was . she was laying on the floor , all just bloodied and broken , and , you know , the poor girl was scared to death . she lashed out , attacked my face when i tried to help her . and i do n't know who she thought i was . maybe the attacker coming back to finish the job . i do n't know . i took her to the hospital . but i swear to you i did not attack kristina .

[ scene_break ] jason : sam and kristina both told me what happened that night . the story , it does n't match up . so here 's how it goes . kristina said that sam dropped her off at the lake house and ethan showed up right after sam left , but that 's not possible , because sam drove straight to the haunted star , and ethan was there . lucky : sometimes trauma victims blur the passage of time . jason : no , i get that , but kristina told me that ethan showed up , like , 5 minutes after sam left . even if ethan showed up later , an hour later , she would have remembered doing something during that time . lucky : okay , but here are the facts . kristina and ethan argued earlier at the haunted star . he went over to her house sometime after that , and she id 'd him as her attacker . jason : and she id 'd him to you , right ? lucky : yeah . jason : you did the er interview ? lucky : yes . jason : and how did kristina seem ? lucky : she was traumatized , but completely cognizant . i mean , she knew what happened to her . jason : maybe . maybe not . maybe she just said ethan 's name and now she 's too afraid to admit that she made a mistake . lucky : if you want me to sidestep the official investigation and look into this myself , i 'll need more to go on . do you have any other reason to believe kristina would lie ?

[ kristina sobbing ] alexis : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] luke : people have jumped to some pretty ugly conclusions about me , so i know what it 's like to be judged before the evidence is in . ethan : yeah . well , thank you for believing me . it 's good to know there 's one person in this pathetic waste of a town who has my back . luke : it is an uphill battle , though , when the victim id 's you . ethan : well , i did n't exactly do myself any favors . it was beyond stupid to get into a public argument with kristina . now i 'm -- when i found her at that house -- i do n't know . i should have just put in an anonymous call to 911 instead of putting on my cape and driving her in to the hospital . luke : no , you did the right thing . she was hurt . she needed help . you gave it . ethan : there 's one thing i 'm still banging my head against the wall over . luke : yeah , i know what it is . it was stupid to break that restraining order and go to see her . what the hell were you thinking ? ethan : i do n't know . i had this idiotic notion that somehow i could talk sense into a little girl and convince her to clear my name . luke : well , it was a boneheaded move . ethan : yeah , i know , and now i need to run . you know ? so thank you for taking the time to come back and bust me out . luke : now just hold on a second . let 's do n't jump to some rash conclusions here . you need to stay put right now and see if we can clear your name . failing that , i 'll make you disappear so completely , they wo n't even know you were here . [ scene_break ] lucky : kristina had a restraining order against ethan . he violated it by going to see her at her house , and when sam called it in , i went to arrest ethan , and i found him ready to skip town . jason : lucky , do you think ethan did this ? lucky : i do n't want to , but i 'm biased . i mean , ethan 's my half brother . and it 's true i do n't know him very well , but still , i do n't wan na believe that he 's capable of beating any woman up , let alone a 17-year - old . so maybe he did go over to kristina 's house in hopes of convincing her to tell the truth . maybe the bruise on her arm really was just from the haunted star like he said . i mean , if i was innocent , i might panic like that , track her down , try to convince her to tell the truth . jason : yeah , and if i was guilty and i was ethan , i 'd have been gone that day , because sonny would want me dead . lucky : exactly . so the question is why would kristina lie . jason : i do n't know . that 's what we have to find out .

[ sonny sighs ] sonny : how bad is it ? tell me . diane : i 'm willing to bet claire just used every trick in her tiny , little repertoire short of juggling flaming torches to convince that jury that claudia 's murder was premeditated , and i do n't think she succeeded . sonny : what about michael ? is she gon na make this all about him ? diane : i 'm sure her strategy is going to be to convince that jury that michael 's absence from this courtroom means that he witnessed you killing claudia . so , sonny , by keeping him in hiding , you are de facto admitting your guilt .

jason : so , you think the dvd from franco was a clue ? sam : n - no offense , spinelli , but sometimes you see clues where they do n't exist . and you 've been a little distracted lately , so maybe -- i do n't know -- maybe you made a mistake . spinelli : well , indeed , times such as these can try a man 's soul . jason : w - w - what did you find on the dvd ? spinelli : a - as you know , a home video originally shot in super 8 of you as an infant in your crib . sam : yeah . baby boy moore . spinelli : right , as the bracelet indicates . i - i - it 's -- the footage does n't appear to be tampered with , but there is an indication that , um , franco chose it with specific intent . lulu : i know , uh , today is the anniversary of jake 's death . if you 're wondering why he 's here , he 's not drinking . elizabeth : it 's okay . i 'm not here to attack you , luke . i just came to say thank you . johnny : does steve know that you 're here negotiating on his behalf ?

alice : well , hello . how can i help you ? john : i was wondering if i could speak to the lady of the house . alice : oh , dr. monica . come on in . john : tracy quartermaine . or does she prefer `` zacchara `` ? alice : well , either way , she 's no lady . john : oh . either way , i have to speak to her . alice : well , then , whom shall i say is calling ? john : you could say the police are calling . sonny : dante . um , i think until the trial 's over , i think it 's best that you -- you only contact me through my lawyer . dante : well , i - i did n't call you down here as a cop . i called you here as your son . elizabeth : i got your letter . what you did means a lot . i felt like i owed it to jake and to you to come by and thank you in person . luke : you 're welcome . elizabeth : what 's `` the floating rib `` ?

spinelli : well , you two have suffered so much by franco 's hands , and , you know , whatever the reason he left that dvd on the terrace , why not just -- why not just let it perish with him , right ? he ca n't hurt you from beyond the grave . jason : l - look , franco does everything for a reason . i need to know why he left that dvd . spinelli : but -- but you two have already triumphed . you -- you 've reclaimed your lives , and now you 're carrying your future . just , i do n't know , take a moment to reconsider before i hand you the key which may open pandora 's box . sam : jason needs to do this . and i support him . jason : tell me what you got . johnny : you know , it 's kind of strange , you being here all fired up , protecting somebody who 's not me . olivia : turns out i did n't know you half as well as i thought . johnny : [ chuckles ] turns out you did n't know steve as well as you thought , either . olivia : he made a mistake , john . johnny : he -- it 's not like he lost a patient on the table . he chose to take a life . olivia : to save another life ! johnny : he played god . olivia : yeah , and that 's for steve to work out with his own conscience . there is no way in hell i 'm gon na sit back and let you take advantage of him ! johnny : all i 'm asking for here is a little mutual accommodation . olivia : mutual accommodation ? you 're trying to get one over on sonny and you 're trying to use steve to do it . it 's not gon na happen ! whatever deal you had going with steve at general hospital , it 's over , or i go to dante right now and i give anthony up . sonny : if this is about your testimony at my trial , i do n't -- all i want you to do is -- is be fair and tell the truth . dante : i will . that 's -- that 's not why i - i wanted you to come down here . sonny : well , what else do we got going on as father and son ? dante : well , aside from the fact that you saved my life . sonny : well , i do n't want -- i do n't -- you know , i do n't want anything in return for that . you know that , right ? dante : it 's not about paying you back . it 's about respecting you for who you are to me and regardless of whether or not i agree with what you do . sonny : well , i do n't want you to compromise yourself , and the last thing i want is for you to resent me . dante : look , i - i have every -- every right to tell you about this , okay ? this person came to me asking me questions , unsolicited a - and -- and -- sonny : you do n't even have to go on , because i know -- i know where you 're going with this . sonny : no , this was a cop from another jurisdiction . very interested in the case and very interested in you . sonny : agent -- [ sighs ] excuse me . lieutenant john mcbain . alice : this is from out of state . what 'd you say your business with miss tracy was ? john : well , i 'd prefer to discuss that with her . alice : well , she 's not here . john : ah . hmm . tracy : alice , would it be too much to ask if ... police ? john : you know , you keep lying , your pants are gon na catch on fire . let 's hope you do n't make the same mistake . luke : thanks . anna : what you thinking ? luke : i was thinking about elizabeth . that was awkward . anna : yeah . [ clears throat ] luke : and i would n't have blamed her if she 'd stormed in here and told me where to stick my jake spencer fund . anna : [ clears throat ] i 'm sure she 's run the gamut of emotions since losing her child . i do n't know . maybe now she can see you for the man that you are . luke : i 'm the man who killed her son . anna : yeah . but you 're taking responsibility for it , and you 're trying to make amends . luke : no amount of amends will ever bring him back . anna : no , it wo n't . nothing can bring robin back , either . luke : i 'm so sorry you lost her , slim . anna : yeah . i feel like i 'm kind of ... scrambling around , trying to hold on to something , you know , find some meaning ... or purpose . [ sniffles ] i do n't know . i keep telling myself that , um , little emma 's gon na need me , right ? luke : she will . anna : yeah . i see why robert ran off . ran off to rescue a son he 'd never even met . spinelli : i was able to enhance the footage using a - a filter , among other techniques . jason : yeah , w - what 'd you -- what 'd you find ? spinelli : well , you know , at -- at first glance , it appears the footage was carefully -- was carefully chosen because it reveals nothing more than ... than , um -- i 'm sorry . than t - t - the inf -- the identity of the infant . jason : spinelli , what ... spinelli : i - i 'm sorry . apologies . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm ... a little bit distracted by other concerns today . jason : well , i mean , is there anything that i can do to help you ? spinelli : no . no . no , no , no . i - i - i was the one that promised to assist you . um , so , yes . uh , upon closer examination of the baby bracelet , i - i was able -- i was able to find a - a partial i.d . code . jason : spinelli , what 's going on ? lulu : i just , uh -- i wanted to say what you did , um , thanking my father , acknowledging him for the fund that he set up , it really meant a lot to him . elizabeth : well , what he did meant a lot to me . lulu : i know that this must be the hardest day of the year for you , so you can tell me if you want me to back off . elizabeth : i 've never had a problem doing that . lulu : what do you know about maxie getting arrested for lisa niles ' murder ? elizabeth : only that matt said maxie claims to have gotten anthony zacchara to help her cover it up . lulu : wow . i mean , i know that she was helping anthony with his wedding to tracy , which seemed totally weird at the time , but you were on the boat , were n't you ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] yeah , until lisa threw me overboard . lulu : she threw you overboard ? elizabeth : yeah . lulu : i mean , okay , wait . y - y - you do n't really think that maxie would have killed her , though , right ? elizabeth : you know my history with maxie . i 've seen her do some pretty insane things over the years . lulu : yeah , but not murder . elizabeth : i do n't want to believe she could kill anyone . i 've got to see this patient . johnny : even if anthony was here , it 's not like he 's wanted for a crime . olivia : he 's a material witness , john ! two innocent people died in that car crash because your father ran them off the road ! johnny : grandfather . and he had his tires shot out . or have you forgotten the part where sonny 's charged with vehicular homicide ? olivia : innocent until proven guilty , john . and we 're getting off the topic . anthony fled the scene of the crime . that 's why the cops are looking for him right now . johnny : yeah , so is sonny , to shut him up permanently . olivia : so you admit -- you admit that you 're hiding him . johnny : i 'm gon na remind you again -- you do n't want any part in this . olivia : what about you , john ? by hiding anthony , you personally are obstructing justice , aiding and abetting . do you want me to go on -- johnny : are you threatening to turn me in now ? olivia : i do n't want to threaten anyone , john . i want you to realize that you have pushed this thing too far , and i want you to back off . whatever deal you got going on with steve at general hospital , please just let it be over . johnny : that 's not your call to make . olivia : do n't push me , john ! i swear to god , i will turn you in ! see you around soon , anthony . [ door slams ] anthony : that did n't sound good . johnny : you 're becoming a lot more trouble than you 're worth , old man . tracy : it 's so hard to get good help these days , officer ... john : mcbain . lieutenant mcbain . tracy : lieutenant . well , i apologize for alice . she does have a tendency to be overprotective at times . alice : well , in this house , you ca n't be too careful when someone just shows up at the door . tracy : alice , could you give us a moment , please ? i want to thank you . i appreciate it . alice : well , i figured you were so nice to mr. edward when he could n't attend robin 's funeral that ... if you need me , i 'll be in the kitchen with cook sharpening the cutlery . tracy : so , what can i do for you ? john : i 'm looking for your husband . tracy : [ chuckles ] you and everybody else . john : so you have n't seen him ? tracy : what is this about ? john : putting a guilty man in prison . dante : how do you know lieutenant mcbain ? sonny : we got history . dante : atlantic city . he was f.b.i . you were laundering money . sonny : allegedly . dante : must have happened quite awhile ago . this guy 's carrying quite a grudge . sonny : mcbain -- it got personal , okay ? he wanted to take me down so bad , but he could n't make anything stick , and he could n't let it go . dante : so you made him look bad ? sonny : he made himself look bad . that 's probably why they kicked him out of the bureau and put him in the suburbs , you know , in pennsylvania . dante : so , that 's all this is about ? you doing something that he could n't prove ? sonny : mcbain is bitter . it 's , you know , simple as that . dante : yeah , well , in my experience , nothing is that simple . dante : look , from what i can see , john mcbain has a personal vendetta against you . sonny : he 's not the first , and he 's not gon na be the last . dante : look , i know a lot of cops have tried to take you down . i was one of them . sonny : so that means you 're not gon na try anymore ? dante : what it means is i think this guy is different . he 's patient . he 'll wait as long as it takes . sonny : forever ? dante : look , you allegedly break the law , you get away with it every time . all this guy has to do is wait for that one time that you do n't get away with it . sonny : not this time . i did not cause that accident . dante : this guy lost someone close to him . sonny : well , i do n't care if he holds me responsible . does n't mean i did it . dante : great , but whatever happened between you two in the past is obviously not staying there . sonny : do n't worry about it . dante : do n't worry about it ? i do n't want this guy getting in the middle of this investigation or making it more than it is . sonny : he 's not even in this jurisdiction . what kind of damage can he do ? dante : why do n't you just tell me what happened in atlantic city between you two ? help me help you . sonny : we are both on opposite sides of this case . i do n't want to complicate your life any more than it already is . dante : what is that ? who are you trying to protect here -- me or you ? sonny : what if i 'm trying to protect both of us ? what if i 'm -- what -- what if i 'm trying to protect whatever relationship we might have ? dante : [ sighs ] lulu : hey . dante : hey . lulu : bonding moment with your dad ? dante : yeah . yeah , we have those now . lulu : oh , well , there must be something in the air , because i just had a bonding moment with mine . luke : ethan 's in a lot of trouble . he needs a father to dig him out . anna : but you thought you were that father . god . i could strangle that holly for lying to you . she 's awful . luke : do n't be so hard on holly . there 's enough blame to go around . anna : you know , circumstances forced me to keep the truth about robin from robert for six years , and every single day , i struggled with that , and i -- and i used to have to tell myself that it 's because i was trying to protect her . and now i think about it -- her whole life could have been different . you have no idea what those choices cost me . luke : i think i do . anna : but holly lied to you , did n't she , to trick you into loving her ? she could have ruined three people 's lives . luke : but she did n't ruin anyone 's life . anna : okay . whatever . you just go ahead and defend her . i have serious issues with your taste in women . tracy : llanview , pennsylvania . why is that so familiar ? john : you might have heard something about it on the news recently . the victims of the recent car crash , they were from llanview . tracy : oh , of course . that was very sad . john : yeah . that would be one way of putting it . i ca n't imagine a young father trapped in a car knowing his daughter 's life was at stake and not being able to help her . tracy : did you know him ? john : yes , i did . tracy : i 'm sorry for your loss . i am not one to ... defend my husband [ clears throat ] about anything , but in this particular circumstance , he was not responsible for the accident . johnny : you know , i 'm suddenly having regrets about letting you back in that door . anthony : you do n't hate me as much as you claim , john . otherwise , you would n't have covered for me just now . johnny : if i lose steve webber , my whole plan goes away . anthony : relax . you still got an ace in the hole with kate . well , make that connie . she 's motivated to wreck sonny in the most enjoyable way possible . johnny : i told you to leave that alone . anthony : trust me on this , john . when opportunity comes a - knocking and wants to play mattress tag , you do n't turn it away . johnny : you know , surprisingly enough , not everything i do is to get back at sonny . this was actually about business . anthony : you were gon na run something out of the hospital ? johnny : i was gon na turn a huge profit . but just like everything else in my life , you destroyed it . anthony : not necessarily . spinelli : i - i - i 'm so sorry . it 's been an unusually demanding and distressing 24 hours . sam : s - spinelli , you know what ? you can come back another time . spinelli : no . no . no , there 's no need . my findings are simple enough . the i.d . code on the bracelet , it 's from our lady of mercy hospital in new york city . sam : okay . jason : well , monica told me my biological mother gave birth to me in the city , but she never said which -- which hospital . sam : well , now we know . jason : so , is this where franco 's been leading us ? back to where i was born ? i mean , can you follow up on this ? spinelli : stone cold , i would if i could . jason : you need to tell me what 's going on . spinelli : maxie finds herself in a ... dire situation , and i do not know how to help . [ knock on door ] tracy : anthony 's tires were shot out . john : hmm . sonny corinthos has already been arrested and charged . tracy : well , i doubt there 's anything anthony can tell you . john : the evidence against corinthos is weak . if your husband can positively i.d . him , maybe they can finally put that son of a bitch away . sonny : good to see you back on your feet . jason : yeah , thanks to robin . sonny : you know ? jason : yeah , i know . i know she 's gone . jason : come on in . sam : i 'm gon na , uh -- i 'm gon na walk him out . hey . jason : okay . hey , thanks . thanks for all the info . spinelli : i was glad to help . and it 's great to see you on your feet again . jason : uh , elizabeth told me that you spoke at the funeral . sonny : patrick was n't too happy about it . jason : yeah . robin would have wanted you there . sonny : i just wish i had a ch -- a chance to ... tell her i loved her and how sorry i was . jason : she knew . sonny : well , you know what ? it 's -- it 's good that you did n't go to the funeral because she -- she -- she knew how you did n't like that , right ? jason : yeah , but i - i , you know -- i would have liked the choice . sonny : you and sam doing okay ? jason : well , you know , sam did n't tell me because she wanted to protect me , and i - i do n't like it . but it 's , you know -- it 's done . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na have to get past that . the hardest thing is ... robin died trying to save me . sonny : you know why . jason : yeah . anyway , look , i - i talked to bernie , and , uh , he told me about the accident . he said that you were charged with attempted murder and two counts of manslaughter . sonny : i 'm not gon na get into this right now . jason : no , we need to get into this right now , because the cops are trying to put you away . tracy : i 'm assuming you have a prior relationship with sonny corinthos . john : you know , if it 's all the same with you , i 'd prefer to ask the questions . tracy : well , i 'm not one to protect mr. corinthos . in fact , if you do put him away , you 'll have my undying gratitude . john : excellent . do you know where anthony is or not ? anthony : go right ahead . make the call . all my affairs are in order . i 'm sure the s.e.c . will be grateful for all the info i left them about you and your shady financial dealings . you end up in a cell . tracy : he does n't confide in me . john : hey , look , lady , i know how you mob wives are . you like to protect your husbands . i get that . tracy : i am not a mob wife . john : i apologize , mrs. zacchara . tracy : you do n't need to call me that . john : would you prefer mrs. soleito ? tracy : i beg your pardon ? john : you know , soleito . of the soleito crime family out of new york . and i understand that your memory 's a little hazy . i mean , two days after marrying you , old gino , he 's a corpse and you got all his money . tracy : wow . for an out - of - state cop ostensibly investigating a traffic accident , you are well - informed . john : thank you , ma'am . i have the internet . tracy : [ chuckles ] i think it 's more than that . anna : tracy quartermaine ? really ? twice ? luke : only the second marriage was legal . anna : oh , she 's a very strange choice , do n't you think ? luke : really ? anna : yes . luke : what about duke lavery ? huh ? police commissioner marries the biggest mob boss in town ? anna : touché . luke : come on .

[ sighs ] ... sometimes the things that your grandmother sets in motion are not so easily stopped . nikolas : yeah , but she only has power if you give it to her . it 's like that curse she put on sam . it 's only real if sam believes in it . laura : yeah . sam told me about that . you know , of course , that your grandmother put a curse on luke and me on our wedding day , right ? nikolas : yeah . laura : and i tell you , there were no two people more in love or more committed to each other than the two of us . and yet , now we lead completely separate lives , so , really , who 's to say that your grandmother 's curse did n't play a part in that ? nikolas : well , if that 's the truth , even better reason to throw away that damn key . laura : i think we 've established that i 'm not gon na do that . right ? nikolas : right . laura : so , would you like to hear what i have found out about it ? nikolas : you 've been doing research ? laura : i took it to an antiquities dealer , and she said it was 19th century , russian , probably to a steamer trunk or valise . nikolas : okay . when the cassadines left russia before the revolution , we did n't just flee in the middle of the night with suitcases , okay ? we had books and artwork and clothes and furniture -- things that needed to be packed . laura : in steamer trunks ! nikolas : sure , steamer trunks , and there 's probably a dozen of them in the attic at wyndemere , and i do n't know how many more -- laura : oh , my god . nikolas : look , the point is that it 's more than possible ... that helena left you a key to absolutely nothing . [ scene_break ] hayden : you seriously overestimate your position in my husband 's life . elizabeth : do i ? hayden : i ca n't say i 'm particularly thrilled to have his mother and his sister here , but they 're his family . and i 'm his wife . you , on the other hand , are nothing to nikolas , and yet , you walk around here like you 're the queen of england , trash - talking me every chance you get . elizabeth : nikolas and i are friends . and i actually care about him , which is more than i can say for you . hayden : [ scoffs ] you call nikolas your friend , but he 's really just your plan b . you 'd much rather have jason or lucky , but since they 're not an option , you want nikolas as your fallback plan . you do n't want him to find love with someone else . just in case you need him . well , guess what ? i 'm sorry . nikolas is taken . elizabeth : hayden , it 's not gon na take much time for me or nikolas to figure out who naomi dreyfus is . and then we 'll all know what you 're so desperate to cover up .

[ sighs ] this is n't like our other town , is it , roxy ? no . there 's actually people in this town that have never heard of a service lizard before . carly : i wonder what it says about a person that has a service pet with scales instead of a cuddly dog , you know ? maybe you want to keep strangers at bay . finn : says the woman who came to drop off a bottle of champagne and is still here . carly : is it a bad thing for me to want my guests to feel welcome ? finn : it 's killing you that i wo n't tell you what i need roxy for , is n't it ? carly : yes . finn : maybe i just really like lizards .

[ scene_break ] hayden : you 'd think being a single mother of three would keep you pretty busy . so why do n't you focus on your brats and stay the hell away from me and my husband . elizabeth : nikolas and i have been friends for a really long time . he 's always been there for me , and i intend on being there for him . finding the truth out about you is gon na hurt him . and i hate that . but it 's gon na be better for him and spencer in the long run . and i 'm gon na see them through it . hayden : if you do n't drop this , elizabeth , i will kick you out of this house , and you will have to rely on someone else 's charity , since you are clearly incapable of supporting yourself . elizabeth : if you ask nikolas to choose between you and me , i guarantee you wo n't like the answer .

[ scene_break ] hayden : there is no chance that nikolas would choose a snarky , bitchy ice queen like you over his wife . elizabeth : he hired a private investigator to dig into your past . he already knows he married a pathological liar . hayden : i know nikolas hired sam to investigate me . i also know he told her to stop . because he loves me . and he trusts me . elizabeth : in what universe ? i do n't doubt that nikolas is attracted to you , but there is no way he trusts you . and why would he ? you 've been running a con ever since you stepped foot into port charles . and all you 've done is lie to him . and it 's pretty obvious you married him for his money . hayden : get out of my house . elizabeth : oh , no . that 's right . now . right ? no , no , no . you signed a huge prenup . just another sign of how little he trusts you . hayden : and who are you to talk about trust after what you did to jason ? you tried to trick him into marrying you when he was married to someone else . elizabeth : you know who was with me through all of that ? who had my back ? who never gave up on me ? nikolas . so let 's ask him when he gets home whose side he 's on -- yours or mine ? what do i have to lose ? this is just a roof over my head . i can easily find another place to live . but what about you ? what are you gon na do when you lose this battle ? i know laura ca n't stand you , and lulu feels the same way . so , when nikolas chooses me , where are you gon na go ? you do n't have any friends in port charles . do you have friends anywhere ? who would you call ? maybe ... naomi dreyfus ? [ scene_break ] kristina : very close call . my dad actually sent max to wesleyan to hunt down all of my profs . at least it ended well , which is more than i can say about the rest of my life , who i am . you know , i was online and i saw a story about that actress from `` girl meets world , `` rowan blanchard . she 's 14 , and she just came out on twitter as being queer . 14 ! but you read more , and she sounds just like what molly 's been saying to me . that she 's only ever liked boys , but is open to girls in the future . so that 's why she wants to be called queer . i do n't get it . how can she be so sure of something at 14 ? and how can i be so confused when i 'm in college ? speaking of college , i do miss life there and my friends . the only thing i do n't miss is crushing on parker . she must have thought i was so ridiculous , looking at her like a lost puppy .

[ scene_break ] ric : can you remember anything else ? emily : zander told me that he 'd done something to nikolas ; that he 'd hurt him somehow . and by the time zander admitted that he was lying , the police were already there . ric : did zander ever mention a man named wally ? emily : no . ric : did he admit to killing the utility man in the basement of the hotel ? emily : no , and even if he did , i 'm sure it was an accident . zander never wanted to hurt anyone . all he wanted was for me to run away to canada with him . he wanted to cross the border at kirbyville . there 's a footbridge there . we almost made it over once . things would be a whole lot different now if we had .

[ scene_break ] lulu : hey . how 's the investigation going ? dante : i should ask you the same thing . lulu : what do you mean ? oh . i -- okay , i saw the suspect list on your desk . and i only told my dad that he and carly were on the list . dante : really ? and there 's no other suspects -- lulu : i only told my dad . i ... dante : you know , this is n't okay . lulu : i know . i 'm sorry . dante : but you 'd do it again . lulu : well , probably . it 's -- it 's my dad . definitely . dante : look , i know i 'm in no position to criticize , given what i kept from you , but this -- you could have got me fired . lulu : well , no one has to know . dante : that 's not the point . i -- i trusted you to not ever even think to do something like that . lulu : okay , so i guess it 's kind of like how i trusted you with brenda . oh -- i 'm sorry . dante : i guess i deserved that . lulu : no , this is stupid . this is not a competition . this is -- this is my dad , and i felt like i had to tell him . but , really , i 'm sorry . i definitely do n't want your job to be on the line because of it . i ... guess i can understand a little better why you kept your secret with brenda . because it feels like some loyalties ca n't be ignored . dante : well , i guess there 's only one thing to do . lulu : what ? dante : make damn sure i do a better job of concealing stuff on my desk . [ scene_break ] olivia : i do n't if this , uh , if this helps at all , but i spoke to jax this morning , and he 's like a different person . the relief is so obvious . steve : josslyn 's making a great recovery . and i 'm glad for that . i am . and i can even find consolation in the fact that jake saved her life . that 's not so easy for my sister . olivia : no , of course not . i mean , what elizabeth is going through right now , that 's -- that is like physically painful to even think about , for a mother to lose her child . when -- when dante was shot ... i thought that i was going to lose him , and it was like my whole world just ... fell away . and i could n't imagine what it would be like to -- to have to live without him . [ footsteps approaching ] olivia : hi . elizabeth , i 'm sorry to intrude . i , uh , i brought over a casserole . i just want you to know that if there 's anything at all that i can do , please let me know . elizabeth : thank you . you work with jax , do n't you ? olivia : yeah . elizabeth : can you let him know that ... i 'm just really glad josslyn 's doing so well . olivia : i will . elizabeth : thank you . i had -- i had the best dream . or maybe it was the worst . i ... i dreamt that jake was calling me , and he was outside and he was calling for me . and when i woke up , for a second , i thought that this was all just a nightmare , that he was really still alive . steve : come here . [ scene_break ] spinelli : is there anything i can do ? jason : [ sighs ] no , there 's nothing . spinelli : you know , i 'm aware from online surveillance that the police are searching for the driver . i 've yet to interfere with their research as of this point , but i could easily procure a suspect list and fair samantha and i could do an investigation of our own . jason : no , spinelli . i 'm just gon na let the cops handle this . spinelli : then there truly is nothing i can do . sam : hey . your book came . i mean , i think it 's your book . is n't the publication date next week ? spinelli : yeah . april 5th , but the book no longer seems significant . uh , it 's just a mere trifle of work -- jason : it 's important ... to you , and i 'd really like you to go ahead with it . spinelli : but i thought -- jason : no , you should -- should do it . sam : want to go to the office ? we can go to the office and go over the book , make sure there 's no mistakes . i mean , are you okay with that ? jason : yeah . spinelli : okay . i can do a little cash ... 50 on this card , maybe do ...

[ scene_break ] alexis : i saw you and julian talking to each other from across the room tonight . ric : and ? alexis : and it looked like more than just a friendly conversation . ric : and what ? what , are you trying to catch me doing something illegal so that you can run to molly ? who are you to question my affiliation with julian ? you 're dating the guy ! i 'm only working for him . i am repping his gallery . alexis : well , i do n't know , ric . maybe it 's because of all the unsavory associates that you had over the years . ric : [ sighs ] alexis : so when i overhear you gloating to someone about your recent success and what a great team you make , i 'm naturally gon na assume the worst . ric : are you out of your mind ? i was talking to cameron about his rivalry with spencer cassadine over emma drake , which is clearly a much more mature conversation than what we 're having right now . alexis : well , that 's not the way i heard it . ric : look , even if i was talking to julian , what does that prove ? i am representing the man 's legitimate business interests , much like you do with sonny . so you know what ? let 's -- let 's just stop dancing around here just for a minute . why do n't you tell me exactly -- what do you think is going on with julian and me ? [ scene_break ] dante : i just wanted to talk to you about lulu and ben . britt : what do you mean ? dante : well , i do n't know if you know , but , uh ... lulu feels on the outside when it comes to raising ben . britt : well , i mean , she 's in a rough position , one that i never intended to put either of you in . dante : and yet here we are . lulu ca n't have a child of her own , and now she has to deal with the fact that i have a child with you , and it 's a lot for her to deal with , maybe too much . britt : i 'll do anything i can to make it easier for her . and for the record , i am completely comfortable with her being a part of ben 's life . i mean , lulu would make a great mom , and ben is lucky to have her as a stepmom . and as i told lulu , she can spend time with ben whenever she wants . dante : yeah , i heard , and i appreciate that . unfortunately , i think spending time with ben is making it more difficult for lulu . i mean , earlier when i went upstairs to visit him , she did n't even want to go . britt : well , when i went to get ben , she was with him . [ scene_break ] lulu : elizabeth , you 're not making any sense . elizabeth : lulu , i am telling you that ben is your son . lulu : no . elizabeth , i know very well that ben is not my baby . i might be struggling with that in my heart , but i am not so far gone to not be able to see the truth . ben is dante 's . he is n't mine . elizabeth : yes , he is . read this letter . lulu : no , i do n't need to read anything , okay ? i know what happened . britt used dante 's sample to conceive ben . that beautiful little boy has nothing to do with me . elizabeth : she did not use his sample . she stole your frozen embryos and had her mother implant them into her . lulu ... britt is not ben 's mother . you are . lulu : no . i 'm sorry . that 's not true . i ca n't have a child . ellie accidentally ordered my embryos to be destroyed , okay . i lost my last chance . elizabeth : i know that 's what you were told . but it was a lie . your embryos were never destroyed . they were stolen . read the letter . lulu : oh , my god . it 's true . it 's true . he really is mine . ben is my son . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] dante : lulu was upstairs with ben ? really ? 'cause she made it seem like she , uh , she wanted to keep her distance . britt : did n't look that way to me . she and tracy were practically cooing over him . dante : well , i ... you know , i must have read her wrong . i 'm sorry for taking you away from nikolas . britt : it 's okay . dante : no , no . i should n't have brought it up . it 's your special night . it 's just hard , you know . britt : i know . dante : hey , little man . i just want you to know no matter how messy this may get , i 'm so happy you came into my life . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : but with so many mishaps , i wonder why no one has blocked access to the parapet . hmm . then again , it has its uses . brad : [ groans ] dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] stop whining . brad : [ grunts ] you tried to kill me . dr. obrecht : do n't be ridiculous . brad : no . no , y - you pushed me after that story about that woman who died . dr. obrecht : i knew the hay would cushion your fall . brad : how could you know that ? ! dr. obrecht : the probability was good . brad : [ coughs ] dr. obrecht : i believe i made my point , have n't i ? because the next time you threaten to open your mouth to lulu or that attractive date of yours , i wo n't be so generous . brad : [ grunts ] lucas : brad . [ scene_break ] sam : danny ca n't wait to meet his , um ... okay , so it would be , uh ... his cousin , right ? ben ? silas : close enough . nikolas : yeah . yeah , and we should , uh , set up a play date , maybe next week . sam : yeah , that sounds great . danny loves babies . silas : you looking for someone ? nikolas : yeah , i was just -- i was wondering what happened to elizabeth . i - i do n't see her anywhere . sam : i do n't know . i have n't seen her in a while either . i ... i have n't seen her date . nikolas : yeah . you know she came with ric , right ? sam : yes , i do . and i ca n't believe she 's getting involved with that guy again . i know elizabeth and i have had our differences , but ... i would n't wish ric on anyone . nikolas : neither would i . [ scene_break ] ric : oh , you 're just in time . your lawyer here was just grilling me on my involvement with julian jerome . sonny : mm . ric : oh . but then you knew that , did n't you ? you sicced her on me . alexis : now , see , you 're just being paranoid . sonny : i hate to break it to you , ric , but i do n't care enough to keep tabs on you . ric : i 'm sure that that was the case when i was on the other coast -- out of sight , out of mind . sonny : right . ric : i could do whatever i was doing as long as i was n't doing it here in port charles . sonny : pretty much . ric : yeah . you know what ? my time away has given me some much - needed perspective on you , sonny . now , whether i was trying to destroy you or i was trying to prove myself to you , either way , it did n't matter . because all i kept doing was giving you the power , and i know you do n't mind it because , you know , power comes your way . sonny : why would i want power over something or someone that does n't matter to me ? ric : five years ago , i was running around in circles , trying to make everything that i did about you . and what happened was i realized that nothing i did lasted in any kind of really actionable way . sonny : okay , you know what ? do n't be so modest , because everything that you pulled still resonates , ric . do you understand what i 'm saying ? ric : i realize , sonny , that there was no way that i was gon na change you , so i had to change myself . sonny : but you do n't seem that different to me . ric : okay , fine . you know what ? let me demonstrate for you . i am working for julian jerome as his attorney . i briefly -- i briefly , briefly represented him when he was accused of shooting aj quartermaine . and i am currently representing him in his art gallery , which he owns with his sister . sonny : oh , okay . so you -- you have changed because you -- i never knew you were interested in art . you were always interested in criminal law . ric : well , you know , the interesting thing about contracts is they 're very black - and white . sonny : okay , so you admit , ric ... that 's what you 're doing for julian . you 're just drawing up contracts . ric : i am providing legal counsel for julian jerome , much like alexis does for you , okay ? so let 's cut to the chase . i am not in any way working with julian to bring you down . sonny : why should i believe you ? ric : because i am trying to put this bad blood between the two of us behind me , okay ? so if somebody is trying to help julian take you down ... it 's not me . [ scene_break ] julian : that is a , uh ... that 's a bold move . you 're absolutely sure about this ? luke : yes . it 's our edge over corinthos . it 's one line he wo n't cross . julian : what about you ? you have no problem crossing this line ? luke : no . i 'll do whatever i have to to get what i want . tracy : luke ? what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , ric ? i want to believe you . but every time i 've tried in the past for our mother 's benefit , you always stab me in the back . ric : okay , so it 's the same story with you over and over and over again . fine . nothing ever changes . sonny : you see ? ric : hey , cameron , you want to go get some dessert early ? cameron : can we ? ric : yes , sir . we can . come on . [ sighs ] sonny : what the hell 's wrong with you ? you were supposed to be working with -- with julian , not accusing ric . alexis : i was looking for julian , and i heard ric talking to someone . how am i supposed to know he was buddying up to cameron ? sonny : you do n't know the difference between a conversation with a child and a conversation with a gangster ? alexis : in my experience , it 's often very similar . in any case , he was n't meeting with julian . sonny : not tonight . you messed up . this proves nothing . alexis : there was a text , right ? sonny : right . alexis : a - and it certainly seems like that text came from this mysterious partner . and if i 'm right , then the partner is n't ric . [ scene_break ] luke : tracy , what are you doing out here ? tracy : looking for you , of course . i saw you get into it with nikolas earlier . what the heck did you say to him ? luke : so much for keeping the peace . i just thought i 'd come out here and smoke a cigar to cool off . rather than muck up the royal highness ' soiree . tracy : yeah ? so what are you doing with him ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i hope to hell that you 're right about ric , because if he really is in bed with julian , he 's warning him right now , and i 'm gon na lose the element of surprise . alexis : you do n't like the way i deliver , get somebody else to do your dirty work . sonny : you know why i asked you to do this . right ? because ever since julian 's come to town , he 's been after me . now i find out that he 's working with somebody , giving them money , calling the shots . i have to prove that it 's ric . if not , i got to eliminate him , right ? or i got to find who julian 's secret partner is . alexis : either way , you 've got plenty of people on your payroll to do your dirty work , like i said . let them be your spy . maybe they wo n't mess up . [ scene_break ] luke : this lowlife crashed my party of one . julian : okay , you know what ? we are both invited guests , so i have every right to be here as much as you do , thank you . luke : do n't test me . tracy : y - you know what , gentlemen ? the invitation was to the engagement party . that is happening up at the main house , not here in the stables . luke : yes , but you see little nicky gets all surly if i smoke in his living room . tracy : okay , luke , well , that explains the setting -- you came down for a cigar . but i heard you say you would do whatever it takes to get what you want . what was that all about ? luke : it was about him . this sorry excuse happens to be my nephew lucas ' father . in blood only . i was just putting him on notice . you do right by bobbie 's kid , or you answer to me . [ scene_break ] lucas : are you okay ? i went back up to the turret , and i saw the two of you down here . what are you doing on the ground ? dr. obrecht : i feel mr. cooper has had one too many drinks this evening . he suffered a dizzy spell on the parapet . lucas : is that it ? brad : yeah . t - that 's it . uh , you know me . always trying to be the life of the party . between the first - class liquor and the height , i had a flash of vertigo . dr. obrecht : i walked mr. cooper down here for some fresh air , and he lost his balance . brad : yeah . i guess i should slow down . lucas : yeah . brad : [ groans ] son of a bitch . lucas : brad , are you sure you 're all right ? brad : yeah . i must have fallen on a rock or something . dr. obrecht : did you ever find lulu ? lucas : no , but i did speak to tracy quartermaine , and according to her , lulu was never looking for me . dr. obrecht : hmm . must have been my mistake . you americans have such terrible diction , it 's difficult to understand you . lucas : brad , i -- dr. obrecht : he 's fine . trust me . i 'm a doctor . come . shall we head back to the party ? [ scene_break ] dante : just gon na take some time , you know , to figure out how to make this bizarrely blended family work , but we will , all right ? for your sake , buddy , okay ? nikolas : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt your conversation here , but the cook has made it very clear that dinner needs to be served soon , so i should probably make the toast , right ? britt : oh . dante : yeah , no . she 's all yours . uh , and congratulations again . nikolas : thank you . dante : lulu and i are both really happy for you both . nikolas : well , britt 's , uh , given me everything i want , and now i want to make sure she has everything she wants . olivia : we 'll let you guys get to it . dante : okay . nikolas : thank you . olivia : hey . where you going ? i thought , uh , nikolas said he was ready to make his toast . dante : yeah , uh , britt just said that lulu was upstairs in the bedroom earlier . i just want to see if she 's still there . i want to check and make sure she 's okay . olivia : honey , i know that this is tough on you , and i know it 's tough on lulu , and i know you . i know you want to swoop in , and i know you want to save the day and make this all right . but i think maybe lulu just needs a minute to herself right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't believe it . i thought that i was going crazy because i felt this really strong connection with ben . i thought it was because i could n't give dante a child of our own , but i was n't going crazy . i felt a connection with ben because ... i 'm his mother . elizabeth : i know . you are . lulu : oh , my god . thank you . elizabeth : you do n't have to thank me . lulu : yes , i do , and i 'm gon na figure out how later . right now , there 's something that i need to do . elizabeth : okay , w - w - what are you gon na do with that ? what are you gon na do ? lulu : i 'm gon na go get my son . [ scene_break ] tracy : well , luke , i think you made your point . i do n't think he 's gon na cross you , so could we get away from this lowlife now , please ? party 's half over , and i 've hardly seen you all night . luke : okay . let 's do it . oh . oh , damn it . tracy : what ? luke : i think i left -- i think i 've dropped my lighter . geez , it 's cold down here . you must be freezing . tracy : i am . luke : go on up to the house , and i 'll just grab it and be right with you , and then i 'm yours for the rest of the night . tracy : okay . luke : [ sighs ] julian : [ clapping ] that was -- that was very nice , although can you leave my son out of it next time , please ? luke : what do you want ? i told her the truth . julian : oh , i see . so you told her that you were using her to get to sonny . gee , i must have missed that one . luke : remember this , julian . i do n't give a crap about your family dynamics . you can have a lovely family reunion . you can cut them all loose . it means nothing to me . all i care about are results . are we clear about that ? julian : yes . luke : let 's get the hell out of here , shall we ? julian : [ sighs ] [ horses whinnying ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what ? alexis -- great lawyer , but she does not know how to be a spy , so she gave ric everything , all right ? now i got to figure out where julian ran off to . no , because i did n't ... tracy : sorry . did n't mean to eavesdrop . sonny : can i call you back ? yeah . all right . i thought eavesdropping was part of the deal with the quartermaines . tracy : yes , well , we tend to eavesdrop on each other or people that might have information we find interesting or useful . however , i am not at all interested in mob politics . therefore , i have no reason to eavesdrop on you . sonny : really ? 'cause you used to be up to your neck in mob politics . gino soleito , anthony zacchara . may they rest in peace . tracy : i actually think they are probably burning in hell , not that i care . men like that ... men like you tend to vastly overestimate themselves . sonny : you think ? tracy : i think that you confuse brutality for power and cunning for intelligence , and you do all right for a while . and then one day , along comes somebody younger and hungrier and more brutal and more cunning , and then you die the way you lived . sonny : so , you think somebody 's coming after me ? tracy : you know , sonny , i think you have lasted longer than most , and , in fact , with some flashes of brilliance . but in the end , you 're nothing more than a charismatic thug with dimples . sonny : well , i never knew you noticed . tracy : some people find you charming . i do n't . oh . i did hear you say you were looking for jerome . i think he 's down at the stables . sonny : stables ? tracy : i just saw him there with luke . [ scene_break ] alexis : there you are . i 've been looking all over for you . where you been ? julian : uh ... [ glass clinks ] nikolas : first off , uh , i want to thank you all for coming to celebrate the fact that this amazing woman has somehow , i do n't know , agreed to marry me . [ laughter ] nikolas : i know i 'm kind quite impressed myself . um , you 're all here because you 're obviously important to us , although in many different ways . individually , you 've helped us through some not - so - happy times . i 'll just say that . but just as britt and i found each other and made ourselves whole , you 've come here tonight to celebrate with us and complete our happiness . britt : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ric : hey . elizabeth : hey . ric : they said you were up here . elizabeth : where 's cameron ? ric : do n't worry . he 's okay . he 's , uh , spoiling his dinner with alfred . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] ric : did you find lulu ? elizabeth : i did . and i told her everything . she finally knows the truth about her son . [ scene_break ] nikolas : it was important to us that we gather our friends and family here tonight to mark the beginning of our new lives together . um , you 've all helped make us the people we are today . you 've helped shape our lives into what is now coming together as one . and as i look around this room , i 'm -- i 'm so grateful for the home that britt and i have found together here in port charles . so -- so thank you for allowing us into your lives , into your hearts , and into your homes as i welcome britt into mine . hear , hear .

hayden : i realize this must be a surprise . you 'll need time to ... settle things . jake : yeah . hayden : i 'll be in touch , okay ? it really is so good to see you . thank you . bye . jake : i do n't know what to say . [ clears throat ] that woman , uh ... she 's my wife ? elizabeth : seems like . jake : i ca n't remember her . hayden : hi . it 's me . i 'm at elizabeth 's . it 's done . i wo n't say more here . she could step out at any time and see me . let 's meet . i 'll come to you . [ scene_break ] [ keyboard clacking ] alexis : hey . julian : hey . alexis : i thought you were n't coming by till later . julian : well , i cut out early . uh , you know , thought i 'd surprise you . alexis : oh , yeah , i 'm up to my eyeballs with this nina clay case . and we 're gon na be in court tomorrow , and we have to reassess her commitment to shadybrook . julian : oh , well , that 's okay . i can entertain myself for a while if you need to work . alexis : no . wait , no . get back here . i do n't want to work right now . i want you . julian : ah . alexis : what 's wrong ? julian : well , it 's not about you . alexis : it 's about something . julian : olivia -- and her baby . [ scene_break ] ned : mother , it 's ned . i guess you turned your phone off . i 'm just calling to check in , see if you had any luck tracking down luke 's sister . [ scene_break ] lulu : i really hope we can keep in touch . i know that you 've lost your mom , but you have a whole family in port charles that would love to get to know you . valerie : i 'll take you up on that someday . right now , my life 's a little complicated . lulu : we have that in common . [ sighs ] [ clank ] tracy : what was that ? i thought you said you lived alone . do you have someone here with you ? [ scene_break ] jake : i thought seeing someone like my wife would jump - start my memory . elizabeth : you do n't remember her ? i mean , nothing about hayden seems familiar ? jake : nothing . i mean , she 's like a complete stranger . i guess i should n't be surprised . dr. drake pretty much told me that my memory loss was permanent . after a tbi and a brain surgery , i guess [ chuckles ] i should be lucky to be able to walk and talk . so what if i forget a few things like my own wife , right ? elizabeth : unless ... jake : unless what ? elizabeth : unless this woman is n't on the up and up , and there is no marriage for you to remember . [ scene_break ] hayden : i hope your bar caddy is well - stocked . i could use a drink after that ordeal . it 's not every day i pretend to be a stranger 's wife , but do n't worry . it was a performance of a lifetime . they bought it . ric : excellent . [ scene_break ] ned : under normal circumstances , i would n't complain about my lack of communication from my mother . but since luke is still on the loose , she is n't safe . would it kill her to just take my call ? wow . you sure showed them . olivia : what ? ned : want to talk about it ? olivia : [ sighs ] sorry . i 'm just in a totally different world -- one where julian jerome does not exist . [ scene_break ] julian : i ran into olivia today . [ chuckles ] i mean , literally . she 's impossible to miss . she 's out to here . i mean , seeing her today , i ... do you know the baby kicked ? she would n't let me feel it . [ scene_break ] olivia : what is it about a pregnant woman that makes people think that they can just get their hands all over you ? ned : well , i ca n't speak for the rest of the dullards , but as far as jules is concerned , he seems to have some lingering suspicions that you 're carrying his child . [ scene_break ] alexis : yeah , but you just ca n't go grabbing a woman 's stomach just 'cause she 's pregnant . i mean , it 's like scrooge mcduck lusting after a bag of gold . who do you think you are ? julian : mm , i do n't know . maybe the baby 's father ? [ scene_break ] olivia : that 's pretty much what julian said . `` are you sure that 's not my baby you 're carrying ? `` [ scene_break ] alexis : and what did she say ? julian : same thing she 's maintained from the start . [ scene_break ] olivia : i fed julian the party line -- that i am absolutely positive that this is not his baby that i 'm carrying . ned : unfortunately , the fact that he keeps asking the same question over and over again implies that he does n't believe your answer . [ scene_break ] julian : olivia has a response for everything . timing 's off , she had sex with ned , et cetera , et cetera . olivia says there 's no possibility the baby 's mine . alexis : do you believe her ? julian : i guess i do . i 'm not gon na stress about it , though ... not with the gorgeous , vibrant , alluring woman before me , all sexy in her glasses and mussed - up hair . mm . coffee breath . mmm . alexis : oh , you ... julian : [ chuckles ] alexis : ... can strike such dulcet tones . julian : mm - hmm . alexis : mm . makes my knees weak . julian : shut up and kiss me . [ both moaning as they strip ] alexis : [ chuckles ] [ both moaning ] sam : aah ! [ julian chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jake : so , you think hayden was making the whole thing up ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] jake : she 's not my wife ? we were never married ? elizabeth : i just think it 's strange . i mean , for months , you have gone without so much as a hint of your life prior to waking up at general hospital . no one came looking for you . no missing - persons report matched your description or -- or the circumstances that you were found . the police did n't have any clues . and now , all of a sudden , this woman shows up on my doorstep from beecher 's corners with all the answers you 've been looking for ? jake : her story was pretty complete , except for she could n't explain why she knew that i 'd be here with you . elizabeth : no , she never explained that . she just launched into her story about how she realized you are her long - lost husband . and , yes , everything she said made sense , but ... it just seemed too neat . jake : like she was going down a list of everything that happened to me so she can come up with a story that fit . elizabeth : you thought so , too ? jake : i do n't know what i think . i really do n't know what i think , but you know what ? it does n't hurt to talk about the possibilities . so , uh , let 's just say for a moment that hayden 's story is completely false , and she is not my wife . why would someone pretend to be someone that they 're not ? [ scene_break ] [ briefcase latches click ] ric : well , as promised . hayden : thank you . feels light . ric : because it is . the money will keep coming , and you 'll be paid the bulk of what is owed to you upon successful completion of your assignment . hayden : and how will i know when that has occurred ? ric : when elizabeth and jake are completely broken up , and she 's given up on him . when she 's come to her senses , and she 's finally put jake out of her mind for good . [ scene_break ] valerie : i already told you , i live alone . tracy : well , then , we ought to call the cops , because that noise could only be made by an intruder . valerie : there 's no intruder . it was my cat . [ chuckles nervously ] clumsy cretin . he never got the memo that cats are supposed to be light on their feet . lulu : you have a cat ? valerie : yeah . his name 's gunnar -- my only companion since my mother died . lulu : gunnar ? aww , can i meet him ? i really want a pet , but my husband is allergic . valerie : oh , you probably should n't . gunnar sheds something awful , and he hates people , too -- bites . so , it was great meeting you . have a safe trip home . lulu : oh , um , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . [ clears throat ] just , uh , one last thing . [ luke cocks his gun ] [ scene_break ] olivia : i do n't even want to entertain the possibility that julian might be onto me . luckily , you showed up just at the perfect time , and you staked your claim . [ chuckles ] ned : i 'm glad i could do my part . olivia : yeah , and you did it well . [ sighs ] it 's just ... i do n't know . something about the run - in -- it just threw me . you know , i guess it was the way julian looked at me and the baby inside of me . it was n't with all the condescension and the coldness that i expect from julian , you know ? he was -- he was -- he was kind . he seemed sincere , almost paternal . it was ... it was a different side of julian jerome . i mean , i almost felt bad for the guy . ned : liv ... are you having second thoughts about keeping him in the dark ? [ scene_break ] julian : you 're -- you 're home . uh , we were , uh -- sam : it does n't matter what you were or were n't doing . we did n't see anything , right ? right ? patrick : no . no , not a thing . alexis : oh , i , uh -- i thought you were in -- in -- boston and ... sam : yeah , no . alexis : ... you were gon na stay there overnight . sam : [ groans ] alexis : give me just one second . sam : please hurry . alexis : it 'll be over soon . okay , you can -- no , wait . you can turn around . yeah . hold on . sam : you sure ? alexis : okay , now . okay . sam : okay , we were -- we were gon na stay longer , but ... spencer ... uh .... patrick : spencer , uh , had an episode . alexis : oh . w - what kind of an episode ? is he -- is he all right ? sam : yeah , he 's okay . i mean , physically speaking . he 's just scarred , and he wants someone to blame for the fire . alexis : oh , yeah . poor kid . patrick : yeah , nikolas is taking care of him . he thinks he 's gon na be all right . sam : and spencer did n't want any visitors . and , you know , nikolas always has to play host , so we decided to come home , where we would n't be in the way . [ chuckles ] and we are . we 're just right in the way . julian : yeah , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to turn your living room into a -- patrick : you do n't need to finish that sentence . sam : please do n't ever -- but -- nothing . um ... well , you know , i am glad to see you . i never got a chance to actually thank you in person . alexis : for what ? sam : julian gave jake a job . alexis jake doe ? why ? julian : because our daughter asked me to . [ scene_break ] jake : why would hayden pose to be my wife ? i mean , i have no memory . i 've got no prospects . you 'd hope she could do better . i mean , i am notorious for a one - man crime spree . elizabeth : maybe she sees in you what i see . jake : that 's very sweet , but what is that ? i mean , i have caused you nothing but trouble . i have complicated your life . and right at the moment when i was maybe , just possibly balancing the scales by taking you out on our second date , which i was definitely going to pay for , hey , my wife shows up at your doorstep . elizabeth : if she really is your wife . jake : as much as i would like to believe that , i ca n't , for the life of me , figure out why hayden would pretend to be married to me . elizabeth : unless ... jake : [ sighs ] unless what ? elizabeth : well , maybe she 's ... lonely and unwell . and maybe she read about you in the paper , and -- and she saw someone vulnerable , someone who she could claim as her own , someone she could make into a partner she 's always wanted . stranger things have happened . [ scene_break ] hayden : hope you 're not looking for a quick fix . i might be able to divert jake 's attention , but that does n't mean elizabeth will give up on him . she had the look of a woman in love . ric : hey , just -- just focus on holding up your end . i 'll take care of elizabeth . hayden : if you say so . ric : i do . i have faith in you . hayden : why ? you barely even know me . we met on a dating website , and i was n't on there looking for a payday , even though the money definitely helps . i was just looking to meet someone nice . ric : yeah , so was i. i mean , my daughter convinced me to sign up for that site in hopes that i would move on from elizabeth , but ... just not ready to do that yet . hayden : no kidding . [ chuckles ] ric : elizabeth and i belong together . she 's just blinded by jake . hayden : i can see why . ric : well , if you 're able to pull off your job the way i want you to , then , uh , she 'll come back to me with no problem . hayden : and then what ? i stay fake - married to this guy forever ? ric : once elizabeth and i are back together and she 's over jake , you can do with him whatever you like -- keep him or kick him to the curb . let him ruin some other woman 's life . [ scene_break ] alexis : jake doe ? not even his real name , mind you . it 's just a legal name to facilitate the keeping of his criminal records . he 's a violent man . he has no past . he held you hostage . he tried to blow up the haunted star . and did n't he try to murder you in -- in your bed ? why is she his career counselor now ? sam : mom , jake had no idea he was doing the things that he was doing . he was being controlled by helena . you , out of everyone , should know what that woman is capable of . i - i would think that you would have empathy for him . alexis : my empathy stops when someone sticks a gun in my daughter 's side . sam : or you could look at it the other way . jake was ordered to kill me and patrick . we are alive because he resisted helena 's control . i mean , the least i could do is help him find a job , right ? i mean , the guy practically has no friends . alexis : well , from what i hear , carly and elizabeth are taking turns answering to his every need . sam : okay , so , w - what am i supposed to do ? just bow out , not lend the guy a hand ? i know what it 's like to hustle , mom . and i ca n't imagine how different my life would 've been if someone were there for me ... alexis : oh . sam : ... when i needed a hand . alexis : okay . all right . i get it . i 'm sorry . i just do n't want you to get hurt , and i really hope that your faith in jake is not misplaced . sam : it 's not , mom . he 's -- he 's a good guy . he really is . he 's not gon na let us down . [ scene_break ] valerie : more questions ? lulu : i was hoping to find out where your mother was buried . valerie : why ? lulu : it 's for my -- for our aunt bobbie . i know she 's gon na want to visit and pay her respects . valerie : sure . why not ? she 's at oak hill cemetery . look it up . it 's easy to find . lulu : do you -- do you know what plot she was buried in ? valerie : uh , i 'm sorry . i do n't remember . i really have some things i need to take care of , and i 'm sure you want to get on the road , right ? lulu : i 'm so sorry we met under these circumstances . again , i 'm hoping that we can keep in touch . maybe you 'll come visit us in port charles ? valerie : who knows ? tracy : give gunnar a scratch for me . valerie : will do . bye . [ door slams , lock clicks ] valerie : [ sighs ] luke : well ... alone at last . [ scene_break ] tracy : oof ! you made the right call on that tuna melt . this blt is doa . lulu : i ca n't believe , out of nowhere , i have a cousin . tracy : she seemed to be as surprised to find out about you as you were to find out about her . lulu : why would aunt patricia go her whole life never telling her daughter about their family ? did she really think it would be better for them to be alone ? tracy : well , luke and bobbie went their whole lives never talking about patricia , which leads us back to the great unknown . what went on in that house to break luke and cause a schism in that family ? lulu : no one left seems to know what it was . tracy : or they know , and they 're not saying . lulu : you think that valerie was lying ? tracy : i think that there was something going on in that apartment -- something that valerie did not want us to know about . [ scene_break ] luke : you get high marks for your deceptive qualities , niece . you do the family proud . but that cat thing ? [ chuckles ] that was a little lame , do n't you think ? valerie : you were the one making all the noise . luke : but you managed to get those two smug bitches out . bravo . valerie : the inspiration helps . also , knowing you 'd be gone once those two left . so , `` uncle luke , `` i guess this is it . you and your gun know your way to the door . do n't call . do n't write . forget we 're related . i certainly plan to . luke : hold it . not so fast , sweetheart . me and my gun ... ai n't going anywhere . [ scene_break ] hayden : anyone ever tell you you have a heart of gold ? [ chuckles ] ric : would n't you go to any lengths to keep the person that you love ? hayden : i would n't know . my ex - husband was a lying , cheating bastard who left me high and dry with a mountain of debt . ric : oh . sorry about that . well , then , it was fortuitous that we connected online . i mean , i know when we met for coffee that there was n't a - a love match , but i figured that we could have other roles in each other 's lives . you know , you help me get elizabeth back , and i help you get back on your feet . hayden : it will be nice not having to dodge collection agents . ric : hmm . hayden : and i suppose i can table my quest for companionship now , given what you 're paying me . ric : [ chuckles ] hayden : just do n't think of shorting me . ric : oh , do n't worry about that . i will double the amount that we agreed upon if you get this done in a timely fashion . hayden : i 'll do my best . but there is a problem with your scheme , though . jake and elizabeth want proof of this imaginary marriage , and i have none to give . [ scene_break ] jake : hayden said that she had legal proof to her claim that we are married . elizabeth : mm - hmm . just not on her . jake : well , i understand not walking around with a pile of legal papers . i mean [ chuckles ] i did n't even have an id on me when i got hit by a car . elizabeth : yeah , but she knew she was coming to see you , specifically to say you guys are married . jake : maybe she thought that i 'd see her , and i would remember our life together . regardless , she 's going to have to , uh , present her proof soon . elizabeth : and if she does , then it means i 'm wrong ... and that she really is your wife , and i was just grasping at straws . i just do n't want it to be true . i do n't want you to be married . jake : neither do i . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey . how 's danny ? sam : out like a light . lucky duck . i mean , after witnessing my parents in a very compromising position , i do n't think i 'm ever gon na be able to sleep again . [ scene_break ] julian : seriously , it was n't that bad . alexis : i think patrick drake saw my nipple . julian : he 's a doctor . he 's seen countless naked bodies , double the amount of nipples . to him , your anatomy is likely as remarkable as a phone book . alexis : is that supposed to make me feel better ? julian : your nipples are lovely -- unparalleled nipples . alexis : thank you . i mean , i appreciate that you feel that way . i just was n't thinking patrick would -- would be able to make the same observation . julian : why be modest about the glory that is you , hmm ? alexis : because he 's dating our daughter . okay , i 'm making too much out of this . he probably did n't see anything . julian : mnh - mnh . [ scene_break ] patrick : you should probably tell your mom to get that mole checked out . sam : ohh ! no , no , no , no , no . [ chuckling ] do n't mention that to me . patrick : just kidding . i mean , but let 's be honest . it 's really only a matter of time before something like that happens . sam : [ groans ] patrick : you and danny and alexis and molly all living under one roof ? this place is not big enough for that . sam : i 'm gon na have to kick my mom out , ... in order to avoid any accidental near - naked run - ins . oh , no . patrick : no , no , no . i would never tell you to kick your family out . sam : are you kidding me ? yes , i 'm gon na have to evict her . i 'm not even gon na be able to have eye contact with her . patrick : i do n't think the situation is that dire . sam : really ? patrick : no . but , um , i might have a solution and a way to never see the parent pretzel ever again . sam : [ chuckling ] ohh . okay , what is it ? patrick : move in with me . [ scene_break ] tracy : no , i can not put my finger on it , but your newfound cousin was less than forthcoming . lulu : we are two complete strangers who pushed their way into her apartment . tracy : we are two links to a family she never knew she had , and the best she can come up with is , `` oh , gee , this is n't a good time . `` unh - unh . she was way too eager to get rid of us . lulu : we showed up uninvited . we peppered her with questions . we brought up the topic of her dead mother . and then we broke the news that she has a whole family she did n't know she had and one of them is unhinged and dangerous . i think that 's a lot to take in . tracy : i ca n't believe you do n't get the same take on her as i did . next , you 're gon na tell me you believe that ridiculous cat story . [ scene_break ] valerie : you ca n't stay here . luke : this says i can . valerie : [ sighs ] you do n't care that you 're threatening your own niece ? luke : apparently not . valerie : so , what they were saying -- that you 're not usually like this , that you 're having some sort of a mental break ? luke : they do n't know anything . valerie : they knew to come looking for you here . and from the way they were talking , it seems like they loved you very much . luke : oh , that 's sweet , is n't it ? you 're trying to appeal to my better nature . problem is , i do n't have one . you 're just pissing me off , which could bring you some very unwelcome consequences . valerie : i do n't understand why you 're still here . i kept you hidden and never let your family know you were here . i sent them packing . i did everything you asked . luke : not everything . you did n't tell me where my sister is . [ scene_break ] olivia : i have neither the intention nor the desire to ever tell julian the truth about this baby , but it 's just that ... lying does n't really sit right with me , either . ned : of course , it does n't . but , liv , the reason that you 're lying is not malicious . you 're not trying to hurt julian -- although the arrogant jackass deserves it . you 're acting to protect this child inside you . olivia : exactly . he leads a dangerous life . i mean , his son was gunned down right in front of him , because of the hateful business that he 's in . his kids are fair game to his enemy , and this baby can not protect itself . i 've got to be the one that does the protecting . ned : you 're thinking like a mother , guarding your nest , looking out for your child 's welfare . and letting julian believe that i 'm the father is keeping this child safe . you know that . olivia : yes . and if this all works out the way that we intend it to , this is the way it 's gon na be for the rest of our lives . i mean , are you ready for that ? are you sure that that 's what you want ? ned : no question . [ scene_break ] julian : so , this is really bothering you that patrick may have seen some skin ? alexis : patrick and sam are not having a casual relationship . they have real feelings for each other . they could get married . i could be his mother - in - law . would you like to see your mother - in - law 's nipples ? julian : okay , let 's just sit for a second and have a little chat . um [ clears throat ] okay , we ca n't change the past , but we can make sure that you 're never so embarrassed again . alexis : humiliated . julian : humiliated again . alexis : okay , how we gon na do that ? oh , i know . we 'll even the score . i need to see patrick naked . julian : not what i had in mind . alexis : what , then ? no more living - room sex ? julian : mm , that 's also not an option , as i happen to like living - room sex -- just not in our daughter 's living room . so why do n't we do it in mine ? move in with me . [ scene_break ] sam : you want me to move in with you ? patrick : well , you and danny , of course . think of all the problems it would solve . your mom could abandon her misadventures in the port charles real- estate market . she could keep this place , and her and your dad can do whatever they want on any surface in here . sam : [ chuckling ] no . patrick : and it would n't be your problem , it would be molly 's . sam : oh , poor molly . [ chuckles ] patrick : i mean , emma and i have a ton of room for you and danny to spread out . there 's ample closet space , more than enough room for danny 's car collection , which is very important , but the biggest benefit of all ... sam : what ? patrick : i would get to see your beautiful face first thing in the morning every day . sam : [ sighs ] patrick : what do you say ? you want to take the plunge ? [ scene_break ] ric : wait a minute . i thought you said they bought your story . hayden : they did by the time i was done -- him more than her . ric : what makes you say that ? hayden : she asked most of the questions . he just wanted to know if we had children or if he had any other family . ric : to which you replied ? hayden : `` jake and i have n't been blessed with children yet . he was on his own when i met him , and no siblings and his parents are dead . `` ric : okay , good . good . hayden : but i can tell that jake 's the kind of guy that 'll follow through on a commitment . as long as he believes that i 'm his wife , he 'll put me first . ric : yeah , exactly as i thought . hayden : and i 'm sure elizabeth appreciates that kind of loyalty . i mean , i think she definitely wants to be the woman that jake puts first . but your little lady love is definitely suspicious . if you do n't have proof that i 'm jake 's wife , your story will fall apart , and you 'll never get elizabeth back . ric : well , do n't worry about that . [ sighs ] i 've got all the proof you 'll need . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you wish it were n't true ? do you really mean that ? jake : we 've been at this for months . we 've been circling each other , drawing each other in closer , then stepping back . and finally , here we are . all the obstacles are gone . my crimes are known , the charges have been dropped , you ended things with ric , and we 're here , literally on our first date , and then ... `` hi , hayden . my wife . `` i wake up every day , wanting to know who i am . and finally i have an answer ... and i do n't want to know it . hey . i looked into that woman 's eyes . i listened to everything she had to say , and i did n't remember anything . i felt nothing . the only person i feel anything for is you . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] lulu : what made you think valerie was even lying about having a cat ? tracy : did you see any evidence of a feline in that apartment ? lulu : [ chuckles ] no . i was n't looking for any . tracy : there was no litter box , no cat odor , no fur balls . no cat . lulu : okay . no cat . something made that noise we heard before we left . what was it ? tracy : whoever or whatever valerie has stashed away . [ scene_break ] valerie : listen up , psycho . i already told you , my mother is dead . luke : i do n't believe you . tracy and lulu may have bought that story , but i require evidence . show me some proof that patricia 's dead , like , say , a death certificate . you got one of those ? [ singsong voice ] i did n't think so . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you want me to move in with you ? julian : mm - hmm . alexis : where ? at your penthouse ? julian : uh , well , that is where i live . so , yeah . alexis : w - w - what about molly ? julian : there 's a guest room . she can decorate it however she wants . alexis : we 've come a long way , but there 's no way molly is gon na agree to live with you . julian : let her live with ric . it 'll only be for a few months , anyway . she 's off to college soon , is n't she ? alexis : thanks a lot for reminding me . no way is she moving in with ric . i mean , he claims he 's gone straight , but i do n't buy it . god only knows what -- what he 's gon na get her mixed up in . [ scene_break ] ric : jake barnes ' social security card , his health insurance card , and your marriage certificate . hayden : how did you get this stuff ? ric : i have connections . hayden : well , what about a driver 's license ? photos ? a web presence ? i need more than just printed words . i need things that will stand up to scrutiny , things that 'll prove we have a history , a relationship . ric : yeah , i understand that . do n't worry . i 'm working on it . next time that you see jake , you 'll have all the ammo you need . [ scene_break ] sam : you think that danny and i should move in with you and emma ? patrick : do n't you ? sam : [ chuckles ] i do n't know . i - i 've never really thought about it . [ chuckles ] patrick : i do n't know . we 've been friends for a long time . we took our time getting into this relationship where we find ourselves . we 've weathered a few storms on the way , and , in my opinion , it 's only made us stronger . you 're the first thing i think about in the morning and the last thing i think about at night . i mean , we practically spend all our free time together . would n't it be a lot easier if we just lived together ? sam : [ sighs ] patrick : look , i know there would be some details to figure out , but , i do n't know . just seems like the next logical step . sam : have you talked to emma about this ? patrick : emma ? the girl that sat beside you on both plane rides to and from boston ? the one that talked your ear off about private investigating ? the one that asked you if you knew how to make pancakes , and when you said no -- which is embarrassing , by the way -- she invited you over to show you how to make them ? that emma ? sam : yeah . patrick : ah . sam : your amazing -- amazingly wonderful daughter whose mom went away and just might not be ready for a live - in girlfriend ? patrick : emma really likes you . she adores you . she admires you . i do n't think it would take her long at all to adjust to having you and danny in the house . actually , i think she would really like it . sam : we 're not talking about ... buying a house , like , a new house , and everyone moving in there . we 're talking about installing danny and me into the home that you and emma shared with robin . would n't -- would n't that be a little weird for her ? patrick : no weirder than it is for me to spend time here in the house that you shared with jason . [ scene_break ] jake : see , this -- this right here between us , this feels -- this feels right . this feels familiar . elizabeth : yeah , but it does n't matter , not if you 're married . jake : yeah , i guess wedding vows do mean something . elizabeth : not everyone feels that way , but i know you , jake . if hayden comes back with proof that she 's really your wife ... that 's the last kiss we 'll have . [ scene_break ] lulu : you think valerie has someone hidden somewhere in her house ? who ? aunt patricia ? tracy : it 's possible . we know next to nothing about valerie spencer . why would we assume she was giving us her full cooperation ? lulu : she told us the cemetery aunt patricia was buried in with no hesitation . tracy : uh - huh . maybe she 's a really good liar . lulu : to what end ? why would valerie hide her mother from us ? [ scene_break ] luke : why are you so dead set on making my trigger finger itchy ? valerie : keep your secrets . i do n't care . just get out . luke : i do n't think so . because i do n't believe that story about patricia being dead . valerie : i 'm not lying . luke : well , it 'd be a real shame if you are . because if i found out that you have patricia stashed somewhere , that would be a fatal mistake for you . so why do n't you give that some thought ? and until you 're ready to tell me the truth , we 'll just ... get to know each other better . how 's that sound ? [ scene_break ] ned : i 'm all in , and ... i 'm not alone . brace yourself , because my mother , monica , michael , not to mention alice , and the rest of the staff are all abuzz with the news . olivia : [ sighs ] ned : they ca n't wait to welcome you and your child into their lives . the question is , are you ready for them ? olivia : well , as long as you 're there to guide me . ned : every step of the way . olivia : i 'm still so blown away that you 're willing to do this for me . are you sure that you have n't bitten off more than you can chew ? ned : are you kidding ? i 'm hungry for more . [ scene_break ] julian : so , you want to avoid any potential future embarrassment of getting caught by our daughter in the throes of our considerable passion , but yet you wo n't move in with me -- where that wo n't be a problem -- because molly would have to live with us , too , which she wo n't do -- or molly moving in with her father , which you wo n't abide by , either . alexis : mm , basically , yes . julian : mm . so , then , why do n't you , uh , you know , buy your own place ? alexis : have you seen the real - estate market lately ? julian : hmm . well , i guess that means there 's gon na be a moratorium on our living - room sex . alexis : so , living - room sex is out . julian : mm - hmm . alexis : but bedroom sex is still in . julian : [ moaning ] alexis : race ya . julian : [ clears throat ] alexis : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] patrick : moving in is not that big of a deal . sam : what ? patrick : it 's a big deal . it 's a big deal for all parties involved , but it 's just an idea . i do n't want to pressure you into doing anything you 're not ready to do . sam : good . because i was hoping that maybe we could table it for right now just so i can have a little time to think about it ? patrick : yes , of course . that 's fair . sam : good . patrick : mm - hmm . sam : because i 've been thinking , and we really have n't had any alone time since before we went to boston , and i kind of really wanted to take advantage of the time that we have right now . patrick : with your parents next door ? sam : [ chuckling ] aw , come on ! did you have to mention that ? patrick : okay , i will not mention those people again . my lips are sealed . sam : oh ... do n't do that , either . [ scene_break ] hayden : this stuff looks pretty genuine . but then again , i 'm no expert . ric : yeah , neither are jake and elizabeth . it 'll satisfy them . in the end , jake will accept the truth that i 've constructed for him . his obligation will take care of the rest . he 'll return to his wife , and elizabeth will be with the person that she should 've been with in the first place -- me . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're not the type of man to turn his back on responsibility . if hayden is your wife , you 're not gon na leave her hanging . am i wrong ? jake : this is n't how it 's supposed to be . i want to be here with you . elizabeth : and i want that , too . but for now , w - we ca n't . we just ca n't . [ next_on ] maxie : ( to spinelli ) why would you presume that nathan and i are over ? nathan : ( to nina ) today is gon na decide whether you get a fresh start or spend the rest of your days at shadybrook . patrick : ( in bed with sam ) if i did n't know not to crowd you before , i do now . elizabeth : ( to carly ) what are you doing here ? jason : ( knocks on door ) hayden ? ric : ( to hayden ) what are we gon na do ? | jake tells elizabeth that nothing about hayden felt familiar . they both agree that hayden 's story seemed a bit too neat and too complete , and she never explained why she thought she would find jake at elizabeth 's house . jake wonders why hayden would want to pretend to be his wife when he has nothing to offer . jake and elizabeth both hope that jake is n't really married . jake says he looked into hayden 's eyes and felt nothing . he says elizabeth is the only woman he feels anything for and he kisses her . elizabeth knows that if hayden is really jake 's wife , he will honor his responsibility . hayden reports to ric that elizabeth and jake bought her story . ric gives her an envelope full of money and says it will keep coming until elizabeth completely gives up on jake . ric gives hayden a folder with official - looking documents to prove that jake is who hayden says he is . |

[ scene_break ] nathan : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : [ sighs ] i do n't know what i can tell you , michael . i - i do n't have a location on carlos . michael : but you know he 's alive . you told my father as much . anna : yes . i told him that in confidence -- not that i expected him to keep it from you . michael : and my father told me that you 're convinced that sabrina and her baby are with carlos . and look , whatever she 's doing or why she 's with him , that baby is innocent , okay ? somebody needs to step in . anna : yes , michael . i 'm sorry if you came here looking for answers on sabrina 's whereabouts . i do n't have any . the trail has gone cold . i do n't know where they are right now or even if they 're still together . michael : okay , but you 're looking for carlos . so is my father , and as careful as everyone might be , if someone were to confront carlos , there 's always a chance that sabrina or her baby will be in danger . anna : yeah , given the type of people that your father will send after them , sure . michael : no . anna : i mean , they do n't care about collateral damage . michael : i 'm not concerned about my father 's people . i 'm -- i 'm concerned about you . anna : excuse me ? michael : look , if you were to be face - to - face with carlos , i 'm sure you 'd be tempted to use deadly force . look , after all , you 've killed in the line of duty before . and carlos is the one who murdered duke lavery . anna : yes , i 'm well aware of what carlos took from me . [ scene_break ] nikolas : diane was beginning to fill me in here , but i 'm sure that you can do a much better job , since it was your idea in the first place . you want to tell me about these legal papers , hayden ? hayden : [ sighs ] diane : i do n't appreciate being misled . when you contacted me weeks ago to have me draw up legal instruments transferring ownership of elq into your hands , you assured me that you were acting on nikolas ' behalf . hayden : and that 's true . diane : you also assured me that you were acting with his full knowledge , which clearly is not the case . you made arrangements to pick up the addendum today . and when nikolas showed up , i naturally assumed he was here for the same purpose . imagine my surprise when he knew nothing about what i was talking about . he also assured me that he would never under any circumstances authorize you to have legal documents drawn up that would transfer ownership of elq to you . nikolas : i need to , uh , speak with my wife alone , please . diane : i 'll be in the next room taking phone calls . working out of the metro court does at least have the advantage of privacy . for instance , you two will not have to hash this out in a conference room . here 's the , uh -- here 's the addendum , in case you decide you need it after all . hayden : [ sighs ] i can explain . nikolas : no . i do n't think you can . [ scene_break ] lulu : does this have something to do with nikolas ? elizabeth : i - in a way , but i 'm probably just overreacting . laura : that 's okay , honey . we 've all been a little bit on edge ever since the reading of helena 's will . elizabeth : yeah , and i do have some legal questions about the will that i wanted to discuss with nikolas . lulu : i do n't blame you for being upset . what was in that children 's book helena gave you ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] lulu : she did n't threaten jake ? elizabeth : not overtly . it 's kind of a riddle , i guess . lulu : okay . elizabeth : jason 's looking into it . lulu : you are better off ignoring it . helena 's main priority was to make everyone squirm . she gave me an empty envelope , for god 's sake . laura : yeah , there is absolutely no question that she loved to play mind games and like you said , virtually all of her bequests contain some kind of a riddle . elizabeth : mm . lulu : what did you end up doing with that mysterious key she gave you ? elizabeth : i hope you threw it away . laura : no [ chuckles ] actually . i ... am going to find out what it means . actually , i 've already started . [ scene_break ] kristina : why is that you 're the one who 's married , yet you keep showing up at my door ? where 's your wife ? parker : something curious happened at wesleyan . a gentleman was poking around , asking questions around campus . i do n't know the particulars , but he was attempting to get the names of all of your professors from last semester . kristina : did he approach you directly ? parker : well , not yet ! the registrar 's office alerted me and the others , but for all i know that guy is still working on this , and it makes me nervous , kristina , especially considering the line of work your father is in . kristina : my dad was just concerned about me . he sent someone to ask questions , but i put a stop to the investigating . it 's over , so you do n't have to worry . [ sighs ] you should n't have come . [ sighs ] parker : you still have n't told your parents about ... your feelings ... or that you continue to pursue me , even after i told you that nothing could ever happen between the two of us ? kristina : they know that i was suspended for coming on to a professor , but you can relax . they do n't know that it was you . that 's all that i 'm going to say . i do n't want to get into long explanations ... especially with you of all people . parker : okay . you 're still struggling . kristina : can you please just skip the phony sympathy and just admit that you hate me for playing with your life ? parker : oh , kristina , i never said i hated you . kristina : you do n't have to . it 's the truth , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] griffin : i 've made it a policy not to spend private time with attractive women who are also in a relationship . it just seems pointless . maxie : well , it 's nice to know you find me attractive , but i get the feeling there 's more to this policy than you 're letting on . griffin : no , it 's that simple . i do n't like things being held up to me that i ca n't and should n't have , and that unfortunately includes you . maxie : so you 're avoiding me like ice cream on a diet ? griffin : i 'm glad to know that i helped you . it 's good to know that you 're feeling better . just be careful in those heels . i know how easy it is for a person to repeat a mistake and hurt themselves all over again . [ sighs ] maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : michael , i do n't know what else to tell you . really , the last sighting that we had of carlos , he was with a woman . now , even though i do believe that to be sabrina , we ca n't confirm it . michael : i think it must have been her . i think -- i think that she 's still with him . anna : why do you think that ? michael : i left sabrina a message days ago . if she were n't with carlos , she would have contacted me by now . you know , i - i just wish i -- i wish i knew when and how carlos first got back into sabrina 's life . anna : why does that even matter ? michael : well , if i knew how long sabrina was keeping carlos ' survival a secret , i 'd have a better sense of how invested she is in protecting him . and that could be the difference between her being with him willingly a - and him forcing her to stay . anna : yes . you have a point . michael : given everything that 's happened between , you know , sabrina and i , i - i 'm convinced that she thought that carlos was dead for at least a few months . i mean , we all did , right ? anna : yes , we did . i did . michael : w - what happened to carlos after he shot duke ? i mean , did someone help him -- help him escape ? i mean , why -- why would he vanish for months ? anna ? are you okay ? [ scene_break ] laura : so , an antiques dealer was able to tell me that this key was made in russia during the 19th century , and most likely i am looking for a valise or a steamer trunk from that same period of time . lulu : great . you 've narrowed it down to one specific century . laura : [ sighs ] and i 've had the key itself examined to make sure that there 's nothing hidden in it or on it , but there is n't , so the key itself is -- is not the gift . it is definitely meant to open something . lulu : so , what ? whatever that opens , you do n't want what 's inside , mom . elizabeth : i agree . this is just helena 's way of spreading her poison even after she 's gone . jason and i talked about showing jake the book . we are waiting for his therapist to give us the go - ahead . but the longer we wait , the more i 'm thinking maybe he does n't need to see it at all . and you have that same option , laura . maybe you 'll just be happier if you ... leave it alone . laura : i understand where you 're coming from . and i am aware that this key might unlock something horrible . lulu : then why pursue it ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i did the wrong thing , and i did it for the right reason -- to preserve spencer 's inheritance . but if these documents are executed , you get elq ... to do with whatever you like . nikolas : t - took some liberties , hayden ? ! you went behind my back ! you deceived me ! w - why does that sound so vaguely familiar to me ? ! hayden : you know what ? everything , nikolas , everything i did , everything was for you . and i can prove it right now . nikolas : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] anna : every time i feel like i 'm getting back my equilibrium , something happens . there 's a new twist or a new revelation , and now i know the man who murdered duke is still alive , and it 's just ... michael : wait , h - how -- how exactly did you find out about it ? anna : i will gladly share all the details that i have on carlos ' last sighting with you . you know what ? i 'm gon na e - mail you every bit of nonconfidential information i have . how about that ? michael : i would appreciate that . thank you . anna : great . i 'm sorry to rush you out , but i 'm expecting someone , and i 'll e - mail you as soon as possible with all of that , okay ? michael : okay . hey , look , i 'm sorry for dropping in just like this . and i 'll see myself out , though . it 's all right . thank you . thank you . uh , anna ? anna : what ? michael : i was , uh ... i was just thinking how better off we 'd all be if someone would have finished off carlos when they had the chance . [ sighs ] anna : [ gasps ] michael : oh , hi . griffin : hi , i 'm , uh , here to see anna devane . michael : oh , yeah , yeah , you came to the right place . i 'm actually heading out right now . i 'm , uh , michael corinthos . griffin : uh , griffin munro . michael : the dr. munro ? griffin : mm - hmm . michael : you 're my -- my father 's doctor . sonny corinthos ? griffin : yes , of course . michael : nice . well , it would be nice to talk to you further at some point , but i know anna 's waiting for you , huh ? griffin : yeah . michael : it was nice meeting you . griffin : you , too . michael : later . griffin : [ sighs ] anna ? [ footsteps approach ] anna : griffin . griffin : hey , am i -- am i too early ? anna : no , no , you 're right on time . um , i have tea . [ chuckles ] griffin : are you sure it 's convenient for me to be here ? you seem a little upset . [ scene_break ] nathan : so , uh , how was your -- your work thing ? maxie : ugh , well , i came here to see the new doctor -- the one that helped me with my ankle . nathan : mm - hmm . maxie : we 're trying to get him to do a profile with us . nathan : ah . did n't go so well ? maxie : no . you know , the other day , he was perfectly nice , but today he could n't have been less interested . it was like he was trying to get away from me . nathan : was he getting rude ? maxie : no , not at all . just felt like i was hitting on something he did n't want to discuss . like , the more questions i asked , the more he sidestepped . it was one of those times where you know you 're not getting the whole story . you know what i mean ? [ scene_break ] hayden : you heard diane . this is everything i asked her to draw up to protect your assets in the event that the quartermaines win their lawsuit . on paper , elq would be mine . but in reality , it would be business as usual . i realize i should have told you about this sooner . nikolas : you were n't going to tell me at all . hayden : i was picking them up today . of course , i would have told you about them . it 's your signature that makes them valid . nikolas : and how were you planning to get me to sign them ? hayden : these documents are insurance . i wanted them ready in case they become necessary . do n't you remember ? i first got this idea when you were in the hospital recovering from jason 's attack , when i floated the idea of becoming your wife ? nikolas : [ sighs ] hayden : this is all just a logical extension of what i laid out for you that day in the hospital . nikolas : i understand your strategy . i do . it 's actually , uh , quite brilliant . i do n't understand why you kept those documents ... a secret from me for so long . hayden : we all have our secrets , do n't we ? things have been ... so crazy . [ sighs ] i mean , our first outing as a married couple , we were held hostage at your aunt 's wedding . and then there was all the drama surrounding your reading of your grandmother 's will . i mean , your whole family was preoccupied . the timing just never seemed right to bring up that i contacted diane about drawing up these documents . i just ... figured i 'd wait unless or until you needed to sign them . nikolas : [ sighs ] okay . i guess , with a case like this , you can never ... be too prepared . can you ? so , perhaps i should , uh , thank you for your concern ... and you ability to think ahead . hayden : it was all for you , nikolas . for us ... always . i am ... curious , though . if you were n't here about those documents , why are you meeting with diane today ? nikolas : because of you . i 'm here to change my will . [ scene_break ] laura : helena met with luke just a few months before she died , and that resulted in you getting jake back . okay , so , not every encounter with helena is necessarily toxic . lulu : mom , i do n't think that you can hope for something so positive . laura : your father and i have been bound to the cassadines for my entire adult life . i need this final closure , no matter what it is . lulu : fine . let 's be practical . where would you even start looking for what that key opens ? laura : actually , i 've got a pretty good idea . [ scene_break ] parker : well , of course , i was angry , kristina . you threatened my career ! and more importantly , you threatened my marriage . [ sighs ] i never hated you . it was just the opposite , actually . i wanted to reach out to you before your father sent some guy to campus to ask questions . kristina : you wanted to reach out to me ? parker : i heard about the news that you were held at gunpoint at your mother 's wedding . that 's horrible . i wanted to hear your voice . i wanted to reassure myself that you were truly okay . kristina : you make it sound like ... [ sighs ] you really care . parker : [ sighs ] i do . kristina : okay , see ? this is what you do . [ sighs ] you reach out to me , and you tell me how much i mean to you . and then , you turn around , and you say that there 's nothing between us , and that you 're never leaving your wife ! parker : i 'm not leaving my wife . kristina : then why ca n't you leave me alone ? parker : because i need to know that you 're going to be all right . kristina : honestly , i do n't know if i ever will be again . [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie , i 'm sorry that `` dr. whatever `` does n't like you for some reason . he could be crazy . maxie : no , uh , do n't misunderstand . he basically admitted that he finds me attractive . nathan : mm , that 's personal , right ? maxie : no , uh , but since i 'm in a relationship , he does n't want to be around me , because he does n't like being around , uh , and i quote , `` things he ca n't have . `` nathan : oh , well , he sounds like quite the charmer . maxie : oh , come on . i 'm not planning on dumping you for `` dr. gorgeous . `` nathan : [ sarcastically ] ha - ha . very funny . new nickname , please . maxie : aww , you 're adorable . nathan : [ sighs ] you know ... i do have the rest of the day off . maxie : oh . well ... i could probably get away with not going back into the office . nathan : mm , and this is my last day of medical restrictions . maxie : oh , that 's right . you 're cleared tomorrow . nathan : mm - hmm , true . maxie : nathan , you should probably be in bed . nathan : that 's exactly what i was thinking . maxie : come on . [ scene_break ] griffin : i can come back another time . anna : no , no , no , do n't be silly . please , please come . i - i just was in the end of this conversation , and it kind of threw me . and anyway , it 's all fine . it 's not important . sit -- sit down . griffin : hey , i met michael corinthos on the way in . anna : yes . griffin : sonny corinthos ' son . anna : oh , right , that 's right . actually , you know , duke , h - he used to work with him , with michael , at elq , just for a short period of time . griffin : yeah , duke used to also work for sonny . the papers said he was running the corinthos organization when he died . anna : well , that 's also true . i - i pulled some albums . um , this one has pictures of duke in it . i thought maybe you 'd like to see them . griffin : yeah , that would be amazing . anna : do you want some tea ? griffin : yes , please . [ tea pouring ] griffin : [ chuckling ] oh , wow . this is -- this is duke as a child ? anna : yes , i think , um , he was probably about 7 or 8 maybe -- something there . griffin : god , this could be a photo of me at that age . i mean , minus the kilt , but then again , i was n't raised in scotland . anna : he was very proud of his scottish roots , you know ? griffin : oh , wow , very light on his feet also , it seems . anna : yes . um , that was the last time that w - we danced the tango together . it was at the nurses ' ball . uh , general hospital has a nurses ' ball . griffin : the last time ? anna : the dance was very important to us . griffin : [ sighs ] you both look very happy . anna : [ voice breaking ] he was a wonderful man . griffin : there must have been -- must have been some conflict with you in law enforcement and him involved in organized crime . anna : `` conflict , `` yes -- that 's an understatement , yeah . um ... i - i think , for most of our lives together , we felt that that was going to be the deal- breaker , you know ? but ... our love was a lot stronger than our differences . a - and in the end , i - i think we just felt we should ... just ... be together no matter what ... despite who was the cop and who was the criminal . i told you we were going away together . we were leaving town , going to leave this all behind . i was going to meet him at the pier around midnight , and ... i 'm sorry . i got there , and he came a little later . and i thought for one second everything was just gon na be fine , everything was gon na be all right . but ... he collapsed , and then i saw that ... he was bleeding , and ... [ gasps ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] laura : there 's plenty of 19th century russian furniture right upstairs in the attic of this house , so that 's where i 'm gon na start . lulu : wait , wait , wait , the attic ? why -- do you know if that 's even a good idea ? w - we 'll send chandler up there . he can look and see if anything even looks promising . laura : [ chuckles ] honey , it 's -- it 's gon na be fine . really , i can do this myself . lulu : what if you actually find what helena left for you ? you ca n't face that by yourself . i am coming with you . laura : all right . sounds like a plan . let 's go . elizabeth ? you are so quiet . what is it , honey ? i mean , is it that you really think that i should n't pursue this ? elizabeth : no , actually , i understand . you have to know what 's going on . and sometimes it 's ... simply better to know the truth ... even if it 's painful . laura : that 's exactly it . elizabeth : good luck . [ both chuckle ] laura : thank you . lulu : okay . we 'll leave a trail of bread crumbs . elizabeth : oh , geez . and now it 's time ... to find out the whole truth ... about you , hayden . [ keyboard clacks ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're changing your will ? nikolas : yes . because of the prenup you signed , if anything should happen to me ... your inheritance is limited . i just think that we 've shared so much love and -- and trust ... with each other since the wedding that you ... deserve a larger share of all aspects in my life , including my possessions and my finances . hayden : and , um ... after today , finding out about ... these papers , does n't change that ? nikolas : what do you think ? hayden : nikolas ... i do n't know what to say . nikolas : [ sighs ] diane : well , this is a better outcome than i predicted . everything straightened out ? nikolas : crystal clear . hayden : i 'm gon na leave you and nikolas to conclude your business . and , uh ... i 'll just leave these documents here since nothing about them is secret . [ cell phone rings ] diane : oh , uh , this should n't take but a moment . if you 'll excuse me . hayden : i 'm glad we had this misunderstanding ... and that we 're good now . nikolas : yeah , me , too . hayden : see you at home . i love you . [ scene_break ] griffin : i am ... relieved to hear that my father was trying to get out of the mob before he died . anna : that was the hardest thing for him -- you know , the pull between the goodness of his own heart and -- and his ambition , taking risks . [ sniffles ] yeah . danger can be a real addiction . griffin : i think i - i get it . you know , i love , love the rush of er rotation , dealing with life or death right in the moment , knowing i made a difference . anna : that 's it , exactly . he always wanted to keep the people he loved safe , but he did n't trust the law , and that 's why he was working for sonny . it was out of loyalty -- and why he took over when sonny had to step down . but that last night ... he was walking away . he might have had a lot of faults ... but he was such a good man . i loved him . i loved him with all my heart . griffin : i can see that . anna : i wish he was here right now just to meet you . [ chuckles ] griffin : the way you -- you describe him , i - i feel like i 'm starting to understand him a little . anna : he 'd be over the moon to know that he had a son . it 's just not fair , you know , what carlos and julian robbed us of . they just robbed all of us . [ breathes deeply ] griffin : [ sighs ] from what i - i read , the man believed to have killed my father is carlos rivera . anna : mm . yeah . that 's ... what i was talking to michael about before you came in . that 's why i 'm so off - kilter , you know ? i just -- i want there to be closure , and there is n't . duke is dead , and -- and the loss , it just goes on and on . and for you , you know , i - i just ... [ sighing ] i just want some peace . i just -- i ca n't find it . griffin : real peace comes from forgiveness . anna : what are you suggesting , that i forgive carlos ? i do n't . i never will . because it was n't personal for him . he killed duke in cold blood on the orders of another man . so ... he does n't have any remorse . do you see that ? no remorse for what he did -- that 's why i do n't , either , for my actions against him . griffin : what actions ? the reason i bring up forgiving carlos is because i 've come to see that forgiveness ... is the greatest gift a person can allow themselves to receive . it 's a gift from god . anna : that 's a lovely sentiment . it does n't apply to me . griffin : anna ... what is it about all this that you just ca n't seem to forgive ? [ scene_break ] [ door scrapes , creaks ] lulu : okay , nikolas and i are gon na have a little talk about this attic . do you think he feels obligated , as a cassadine , to be as ominous and creepy as possible ? laura : [ chuckles ] it 's really not his fault . lulu : ugh . laura : wyndemere has never been anything that anyone would have called cozy . [ sighs ] lulu : oh , here 's a desk . oh , right here . no . no , there 's no lock . laura : no , not there , either . lulu : ew . it 's so grimy here . laura : yeah , it looks like no one has been up here in years . lulu : i do n't know , mom , if this is a good idea . [ sighs ] you know ... laura : wait a minute . here . lulu : ... if you try to force that key into locks that it does n't fit , you 're gon na break it . [ lock rattling ] lulu : not to mention there could be , like , a family of possums or ... rats somewhere up here . laura : it does n't do anything . lulu : [ sighs ] laura : wait a minute . lulu , look at this . lulu : what ? laura : look . [ scene_break ] nikolas : [ sighs ] diane : sorry to interrupt . did your wife leave ? nikolas : she did . diane : do you require anything else from me ? nikolas : [ clears throat ] oh , maybe an explanation . i 'm assuming that since you 're acting on ... hayden and my behalf that there 's no attorney - client privilege . diane : i do n't believe so . nikolas : then what did hayden say to you when she originally told you to draw up those documents ? diane : she told me that she was acting on your behalf , that you wanted to be prepared to protect your assets , should the quartermaines win the lawsuit . nikolas : and you did n't find it strange that protecting my assets meant signing them over to hayden ? diane : not at all . it 's a very effective strategy provided you trust the party you 're dealing with . hypothetical example -- let 's take another of my clients , sonny corinthos . nikolas : [ scoffs ] diane : let 's say sonny wanted to , uh , shelter certain assets by signing them over to his wife . in that instance , it is a perfect solution , because they trust each other implicitly . their devotion is unquestioned . sonny could easily run his business under carly 's name . and there 's no chance that she would cash out , take the money , run , or try to oust him from his own company and run it herself . nikolas : but hayden would ? diane : i really could n't say , mr. cassadine . but i will give you this piece of advice -- do not sign these documents if you are having any doubts about your wife . [ scene_break ] [ door slams ] hayden : you 're still here . elizabeth : i live here , remember ? hayden : i know you 're a little slow , so let me make this crystal clear . you and your litter should be packing because i just spent some quality time with my husband . and when nikolas gets home , i 'm going to make sure he shows you and yours the door . elizabeth : the only one leaving this house today is you . and you 're not coming back ... ever . [ scene_break ] parker : kristina , if you need to talk ... kristina : you should go . please . parker : but if i can help you ... kristina : you ca n't ! just leave . parker , wait . uh , what i said about [ sighs ] never being right again ... that 's not on you . [ sighs ] it 's just that i 'm so confused . i met you , and now i do n't know w - what i want or who i am . [ sighs ] you showing up here ... acting like you care , i - it just makes things worse . parker : i 'm sorry . i wish there was something i could do that would help . but i know i ca n't . goodbye , kristina . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] michael : we 've , uh , gone back and forth on whether sabrina is in puerto rico and how much her family is willing to tell us . felix : okay , that was before , but since sabrina has had the baby , you know , she 's been , well , not very communicative , although she sent the postcard and the baby pictures . michael : sabrina is not with her family , and i doubt she 's in puerto rico . [ sighs ] look , sabrina is with carlos rivera . felix : he 's dead . michael : no , no , my father was able to confirm that he 's alive and on the run , and sabrina is with him . felix : are you sure ? michael : yes . felix : her judgment has always been off when it comes to him . i should have realized what was going on . do you blame me for this ? michael : actually , i was thinking about how , by me breaking up with her , i pushed her right into carlos ' arms . but you know what ? i - it 's no -- there 's no point in dwelling o - on these things . just -- look , sabrina and that baby are on the run with a dangerous criminal . there has to be a way to find them . felix : i 'm there . michael : all right , good [ sighs ] 'cause i have some ideas . [ scene_break ] maxie : that was amazing . you were amazing . nathan : of course , i was . [ both chuckle ] maxie : okay , i was honest with you . now you be honest with me . nathan : you 're always amazing . maxie : that 's not where i was going with this . nathan : [ chuckles ] maxie : did my telling you that the handsome , new doctor found me attractive make you a little jealous ? nathan : [ sighs ] maybe a little . maxie : okay . well ... a little jealousy can be attractive . nathan : really ? maxie : yeah . because , no other man 's handsome face or hot body can make me not love you . [ scene_break ] anna : how did we get off on this tangent ? you know , i - i do n't want to talk about all the grief and loss . i really do n't . i just want to share my memories that i have with you of your father . griffin : i appreciate that , but something is obviously weighing on you . if you want to unburden yourself -- anna : you ask a lot of questions . do you want me to confess ? griffin : i -- anna : who are you really ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : the lawsuit with elq is nowhere near resolution . diane : you know , you 'd be making much better progress in getting that suit dismissed if you 'd hired me to defend you . and if the quartermaines had hired me , well , they 'd be back in the head office by now . nikolas : probably . but they did n't . so , the case continues to drag on . diane : [ sighs ] nikolas : and those documents hayden had you draw up wo n't be needed at the moment . diane : what about the changes to your will ... with regard to your wife ? nikolas : you know ... [ sighs ] let 's table any changes to my will for now . [ scene_break ] hayden : who the hell do you think you are ? elizabeth : i 'd rather talk about who you are , rachel berlin . [ scene_break ] laura : no drop cloth and completely dust - free . lulu : whoa . everything else up here looks like it 's been stowed away for years , but , i mean , this could n't have been here for more than a few months . laura : yeah . and it 's locked . okay . [ sighs ] [ next_on ] nikolas : hey . what 's going on here ? anna ( to griffin ) : maybe this whole thing is just a setup . carlos ( to paul ) : i 'm safer away from you . sonny ( to epiphany ) : can we just ... forgive and forget ? kristina ( to parker ) : you must have wanted something to happen between us . lulu ( to laura ) : this might be a trap . [ creaky trunk lid opens ] | laura declares to lulu that regardless of what anyone says , she has to unravel the mystery of the key that helena gave her . so they go up to a long forgotten attic and find everything is covered in dust except for a large chest that says the last will and testament of nikolas cassadine . that immediately alerts them that this item was put in this abandoned room not long ago . laura also uses the key to see if she can unlock it and it seems to work . elizabeth is determined to find out what hayden 's story is and gets on her computer to find out something interesting . while that is happening . hayden goes off to secretly meet with diane to tell her she wants to `` protect her husband 's interest `` . nikolas learns for the first time that hayden went behind his back with this legal interaction and told him nothing about it . diane learns for the first time that hayden never told him anything about it . hayden is still somehow able to convince nikolas that he has a reason to trust her and he declares that he does not want her to `` miss out `` on what should be rightfully his in the event of his death , given the prenup and what he 's found out from helena 's will . however , when diane is alone with nikolas she warns him that if he trusts hayden with having marital property rights to all of his assets and estates , he might regret it and so he might want to re - think it unless he completely trusts her . at that point , he listens to her and agrees it would not be a better idea for her to be representing him in legal matters like this . hayden returns home , confident that her `` husband `` backs her , that she has all the power and she can have elizabeth removed from wyndemere . however , after finding out information on the computer , elizabeth is equally confident that nikolas will have hayden removed and out of the house for good when she reveals that she has found out hayden 's real name is rachel berlin . meanwhile , nathan is having nightmares about maxie finding out his secret about claudette , declaring she can not trust him , does not believe he 's a good guy and never wants to see him again . when he awakens , he finds out that maxie has had some weird encounters with gh 's new neurosurgeon dr. griffin munro . michael goes to inform anna that his father has informed him that carlos is alive and sabrina is with him and urges her to know that regardless of her justifiable need to take action against carlos , there is an innocent baby in need of protection . she agrees with that but knows she can not reveal to him the whole truth about carlos . anna invites griffin to come and see pictures of his deceased father and learn all about duke 's life and history and his tragic death . yet he can detect that she has a secret regarding the man who shot his father that she is not revealing . |

[ trevor chuckles ] trevor : you 're so easy to press your buttons . all i had to do was hire some pretty girl and pay her to listen to all of your outrage against me , the trust funds , the college educations that i got you , so that you could turn aside all the opportunities that you had in order to obsess about my tragedy . it was n't yours . you caused this yourself , richie . [ scene_break ] sonny : i have not set such a good example for my children . um -- they spent their whole life surrounded by guards with guns . kate : that ca n't be easy to explain to a curious child . sonny : well , michael 's past the point of asking questions , he -- he 's trying to figure it out on his own . what he does n't understand is that being a coffee importer is n't just a front , it 's a legitimate business without guns , without violence . kate : well , now that the zaccharas have agreed to make a truce , it 's going to give you a lot of time to spend with michael , right ? i do n't know . maybe you 'll do so well in the coffee business , you can get out of organized crime altogether . sonny : maybe . i just do n't know how . [ scene_break ] monica : i guess i 've really never been very good at being alone . when alan died , i -- well , i had emily , and she -- oh , she had the strength for both of us . she -- she kept me together -- literally . and then when i lost her , i -- i really did n't know how i was going to do it alone . jason : you do n't have to . you could let me help . monica : i was on my way to emily 's grave when the accident happened . jason : what do you remember ? monica : only that i was way too drunk to have been behind the wheel of a car . that i know . and the paramedics then told me that i had -- had smashed through a guardrail . and it was at that moment that i realized just how selfish and how hypocritical i am . a.j . drove into a tree a long time ago and he changed your life forever , and i never , ever stopped blaming him for taking you away from me . and here i am -- i mean , i 'm doing the same thing , only i 'm just doing it to myself . my god , em -- emily and alan would definitely be disappointed with me . jason : they loved you . they loved you so much . monica : and i should -- i should be honoring their memory , i -- instead of just wasting what is the rest of my life . jason : yeah , it 's not too late to turn that around . i 'll -- i 'll let you get some rest . monica : jason ? no matter what has been said in anger , you are my son . and i love you very much . [ scene_break ] ric : you got to marianna after i met her , right -- probably through that pig , randy ? trevor : richie , you always do this -- you make up stories because you ca n't face the truth . look at it -- i found marianna , and i put her on to you . you want to feel better about it ? yeah , she welshed halfway through the deal because you were being so nice to her . ric : do you comprehend how wrong you were ? do n't you see that you took advantage of marianna 's situation ? she was trapped in this country , dad . she was forced to work for randy and do whatever else he wanted her to do . and then you took it one step further and you -- you pushed her into a -- a staged romance with a perfect stranger . all right , let me see if i can get this right . uh -- marianna was supposed to manipulate me into taking ownership of the property , and then she was supposed to convince me to sign that property over to you , right ? trevor : but she only got the job half done . ric : yeah , but then she turned on you , did n't she , trevor ? right , because i got her a green card , and then you no longer had leverage against her . so what 'd you do ? what 'd you do ? did you pay randy to -- to come to town , huh ? was that your only way to get -- get her back under your thumb ? trevor : randy , you see , was an idiot . it was n't difficult to get him here . ric : yeah , but he 's even easier to kill , though , is n't he ? and then what ? did you get somebody to pull her prints off of , what , a glass and then place them on the murder weapon ? trevor : richie , that is a paranoid fantasy and it will not stand up in court . ric : no , it 's not , dad , it 's ockham 's razor -- in the absence of conflicting evidence , the simplest solution has got to be true . trevor : oh -- there 's my son . look how brilliant you can be if you just get out of your own way . ric : you 're actually proud of yourself for this , are n't you ? trevor : i did what i had to do ; now it 's your turn . come on , sign the paper . unless you really want marianna to pay for lying to you ? [ scene_break ] claudia : jason may work for sonny , but he has a mind of his own , and from what i can tell , he has a really good business sense -- i think we should capitalize on that . johnny : if you 're thinking of playing the two off each other , think again -- morgan ca n't be bought . claudia : who said anything about money ? no , the way you get to a man like jason is by convincing him that we have shared goals , mutual interests , as well as enemies . johnny : he ca n't be easily convinced , either . claudia : yeah , well , i 'm very persuasive . johnny : so what 's the plan ? claudia : i have something in mind , but why do n't you let me deal with that , and if it works out , i will let you know . johnny : you know , you 're sounding less and less like you 're here to help and more like you 're taking charge . claudia : john , i 'm doing this for you , you know that . johnny : trevor does n't seem to think so . claudia : trevor is a lying worm . he 's been standing in daddy 's shadow for years playing the part of faithful attorney , but you know what ? given the opportunity , he will take everything that belongs to you -- and i 'm here to make sure that does n't happen . johnny : whew .

[ scene_break ] ric : you know , i wish i were just a little more -- or less -- like you , dad . i mean , a little more like you , i -- i probably would n't feel any guilt or remorse , i would n't have second thoughts . i mean , if i was a little bit more like you , i would 've taken those piers from skye the second that she gave them to me . that way , i could be holding them over your head right now , threatening to sell them to sonny , because i got to admit that 's a really interesting option right now . but , you see , then there 's marianna , and she does n't deserve that . she does n't deserve to have her life used as a bargaining chip or to be sent to prison . oh , boy , if i was a little less like you , i could sign that -- those precious canneries over to you and i could be done with all of it . i could really feel good that i actually met marianna -- no matter what part you played in it . i could -- i could walk away from all of this and i could be happy . trevor : sign the deeds , richie . everybody wins . ric : yeah . what about the evidence against marianna ? trevor : goes away . ric : mm - hmm -- until you need to hold something else over my head , right ? until you want something else from me . trevor : there was never much from you that i wanted , and i never asked you for anything -- except these piers . and i plan to pay you handsomely . ric : what , 15 cents on the dollar ? trevor : 30 -- i 'm feeling generous . ric : burn in hell . trevor : ah . richard -- oh , god . i swear , i enjoy living down here with you and everybody else in port charles . but do n't -- do n't be bitter , son . after all , you get the girl .

sonny : i was just gon na call you . diane : good . sonny : yeah . diane : maybe that 's a sign we 're on the same page for a change . all right , judge carroll is taking the morning for the disposition of other matters , which means your trial wo n't convene until this afternoon . leaving us much needed time to strategize . sonny : i was gon na ask you ... what is the maximum sentence ethan lovett can get for assaulting my daughter ? [ scene_break ] sam : come here ! jason : mmm . i missed you last night . sam : yeah ? i missed you more . jason : mmm . how 'd it go with kristina ? sam : good . it went really good . we gave each other manicures . yeah , that 's glitter . i have n't had glitter since i was a teenager . and we did fun stuff . we watched movies and we made popcorn . and it was nice . jason : well , it sounded like it did some good for kristina . sam : i think it did . i mean , it was nice to actually see her giggle and be silly and ... laugh . jason : but ? sam : okay , um , but i think the only reason why kristina was being silly and laughing and stuff is because she thinks i 'm going to talk to alexis about dropping the charges against ethan . [ scene_break ] lucky : so , what 's this about stopping my dad ? alexis : lucky , we both know that luke 's default position will be to break ethan out of jail . he has this unflappable disdain for the law , which he seems to have passed along . lucky : i 'm luke 's son , too . i became a cop . alexis : well , obviously , you got your mother 's genes . dante : so , wait , let me get this straight -- you 're saying luke and ethan have the same dna , so , what , that means they 're a couple of matched rogues and lucky may or may not fall into that category ? but all it 's going to take is one push to revert him to some kind of genetic law - breaking code , blood will tell or something ? i do n't know about you , but i kind of take issue with that presumption . alexis : okay . okay , you 're right . sorry . was n't my best argument . and i did n't mean to insult anyone . i 'm a pretty worried mom , and i want my daughter to get justice . and the odds decrease if luke spirits ethan out of the country . lucky : well , who brought him in ? that was me . i could have given ethan a heads up , turned the other way and let him run . but i did n't . and i wo n't facilitate dad letting him get away , either . alexis , i was with you in the e.r . that night . i saw the condition that kristina was in . and if ethan did that to her , he deserves to pay , whether he 's my brother or not . but i have to be honest with you . at this point , it does n't look like that 's going to happen . alexis : why ? you see , you 're worried , too , that your dad 's going to break him out . lucky : no , no , that 's not what i 'm saying . i spoke to kristina yesterday , and she was adamant . she does n't want to press charges . [ scene_break ] luke : rise and shine , dodge . fresh ground from kelly 's . hell of a lot better than the sludge they have on tap around here . i would have brought you a cup , officer , but i know how itchy it makes your trigger finger . officer : thanks for your concern . i 'll be back . luke : hoss ... rough night ? ethan : illuminating . luke : how so ? ethan : well , i never understood why it was so easy for lucky and lulu to believe i beat kristina . but they kept hinting about something terrible from your past , and i finally got fed up with it , so i asked lulu about it , and she told me you raped their mother . [ scene_break ] sam : so i took lucky 's advice , and i actually listened to kristina about how she wants to handle the assault , and i finally heard her . i mean , the last thing kristina wants is ... to press charges against ethan and get swept up in a whole legal process to have to relive the horror at that night over and over again . and let 's be honest , a trial would be a really devastating experience for her . because the defense , they 're gon na make that poor , innocent little girl look like a precocious little slut who was stalking ethan . they 're gon na make fun of what she was wearing , and i 'm sure they 're going to get a lot of people to say that she was obsessed with him . and then i 'm sure his lawyers will say that he never put a hand on her , and even if he did , she brought it on herself . the whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach . jason : i understand . sam : i swear , jason , i mean , it really makes me sick to my stomach to think that my little sister is at the mercy of some pig with a law degree , knowing nothing about you , making you out to be the biggest tramp that ever lived . jason : you ? sam : what ? jason : is that how they made you feel ? sam : well , i mean , yeah . i guess i 'm talking from experience . why -- what are you saying , though ? i mean , do you think i 'm making kristina 's assault about me ? [ scene_break ] luke : all right , you 've had a really rotten deal here . so maybe i owe you this one . but this is absolutely the last time i 'm ever going to talk about this . ethan : fair enough . hey . luke : my old man was an abusive drunk who repeatedly beat my mother until he finally killed her one night . i spent most of my young life vowing never to be like him . and afraid that i was him . and then , one night it happened . i became an abusive drunk who raped the woman i loved . ethan : well , that 's the part that bothers me . i mean , you snapped . on a night like any other . so how long until i snap ? luke : do n't be a self - fulfilling prophecy . you 're responsible for your own actions . what i did was because i was drunk , miserable , selfish and afraid i was going to be murdered . it had nothing to do with dear old tim spencer . i did not repeat the sins of my father any more than you 're doomed to repeat mine . [ scene_break ] diane : forget about ethan lovett for a moment . i need you to focus . now dante 's testimony was n't as damaging as it could have been . we sort of dodged a bullet on that one . but there 's more testimony to come , and it 's damning . there are 2 witnesses in particular that i am concerned about . john zacchara is going to have plenty to say about your relationship with claudia . he 's going to establish a pattern of hatred and dysfunction which ultimately led to claudia 's death . and then there 's maxie . you , illuminated by headlights at 3 : 00 a.m. in a blood - soaked shirt is going to provide a very powerful image to those jurors who watch too much television . sonny : i ca n't let ethan slide on this one . i ca n't . i do n't -- look , no man , i do n't care whose son it is , lays a hand on my daughter . i want this bastard badly . he 's going to pay -- diane : stop it ! i 'm with you , sonny . i 'm with you . i hate bullies who beat up little girls , i do . and i think he should pay , and he will . i personally will help you prosecute ethan lovett to the fullest extent of the law . but in the meantime , between now and that far off distant day when ethan lovett goes to trial , kristina 's going to need her father . and you 're not going to be any good to her if you 're sitting in prison .

[ sighs ] you 're right . i am totally projecting my own experience . and how i felt . what i would want to do different , how i would want ethan tried and convicted . but that 's not what kristina wants . oh , kristina just wants this whole thing to go away . she does n't want to have the pain of going up and announcing her humiliation to the world . she just wants this whole thing behind her . jason : do you think she has the right to make that choice ? sam : yeah , absolutely . and here i am , pushing her in the other direction , and it is ... disrespectful and unfair . [ scoffs ] nice big sister i am . jason : no , come on . you went through the same thing as kristina . i mean , really , how can you not identify ? sam : yeah , but the difference is , i identified her right out of her own experience . jason : no , you wanted to do for her what no one did for you . you know , make you believe that you did n't deserve to be beaten no matter what the circumstances . that no man has the right to touch you . and she could n't have heard it from anybody better . but i agree . i mean , kristina has to figure out how to handle this for herself and decide what she wants to do . sam : i know , i know . which means i 'm going to have to go to alexis and try to convince her to drop the charges against ethan . jason : well , alexis seems pretty determined to move forward . sam : yes , i know she does . and she might even pressure kristina into going forward with this . but if she does n't and she agrees ... there 's still sonny . [ scene_break ] milo : mrs. c . max : mrs. j , you idiot . how many times do i have to tell you ? look , we were just helping michael -- carly : you were enjoying your surroundings . i would do the same thing if i were you , but i need to talk to michael alone . max : sure thing . milo : okay . max : okay , all right . michael : i found out on a random call from kristina that some dirtbag beat her up . how could you guys not tell me ? carly : well , that 's why i 'm here , michael . i need to bring you up to speed on everything . i also need to remind you how important it is to stay here on the island . it 's the only chance your father has of getting acquitted . michael : we both know that that 's not true . [ scene_break ] olivia : mr. zacchara , how did your sister come to be associated with sonny corinthos ? johnny : sonny runs one criminal empire . my father used to run the other . the zaccharas and corinthos ' , they 've always been aware of each other . and more specifically than that , i guess sonny and claudia met in a bar one night , after claudia had returned home from italy . she had been living there for a while . olivia : okay . okay , that 's good . that sounded really good . very straightforward . um , how would you characterize their relationship ? johnny : train wreck . olivia : can you elaborate on that ? johnny : [ sighs ] all right , sonny and claudia , they were no love match . this whole relationship , claudia was brokered into a business deal by my father , like a flock of sheep in a dowry exchange . and from that glorious start , it just went all downhill from there . sonny made her life a living hell . she could never get her footing 'cause he was always keeping her off balance . and sonny used her ; for sex , for appearances , to make himself look good . and you know what , the man should fry for making her feel like a prisoner in her own damn home . olivia : okay , i 'm gon na stop you right there before you totally go off the rails . i would advise against that kind of delivery in the courtroom , all right ? johnny : all right . olivia : look , honey , you got so much invested in this trial . you know , you want everything from it . you want justice for your sister and closure for yourself . put sonny away forever . i 'm just really worried that you 're going to be horribly disappointed . johnny : yeah , i was , too , at first . i never thought that sonny would actually pay the consequences , but now i 'm actually starting to hope . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . alexis : hi . sam : hi . are the girls here ? alexis : no , actually no . they 're at kelly 's . i think that 's a good thing , do n't you ? that kristina felt like she was okay enough to go out in public . i 'm taking the moment here to try to research some precedence that i think the prosecution might want to use in her case . sam : um ... yeah , good , that 's actually what i wanted to talk to you about . okay , so kristina and i were hanging out last night , and she actually opened up to me . and ... i guess you could say she is petrified at the thought of a trial . alexis : i know that she is . every victim is petrified when they have to step into a courtroom . sam : yeah , but she just lived through the single worst experience of her life , and she wants it to go away . alexis : i understand that , too . what are you getting at , sam ? sam : [ sighs ] i 'm asking you if there is any way if you would be able to make the charges against ethan disappear . [ scene_break ] carly : okay . bye . michael : look , i do n't want to get sidetracked . what happened to kristina ? she said it was bad . carly : it was bad enough to go to the e.r . ethan brought her in . he said he found her beaten up on the floor of the lake house . kristina has a different take . she id 'd ethan as her attacker . michael : ethan ? he 's always been nice to kristina . carly : i know . i do n't think she 's telling the truth , either . jason noticed the timeline of kristina 's version was off . so ethan could n't have been at the lake house beating up kristina , because everyone saw him at the casino working . there were tons of witnesses . and sam was there . sam was there to confront ethan , because he had an altercation earlier with kristina , and she walked away with a bruise on her arm , and sam was furious . michael : what was the fight about ? carly : mmm , seems like your sister had developed quite a crush on ethan . he 's older , he 's good - looking , he 's charming , and most importantly , he pays tons of attention to her . now ethan says he 's just being nice and he felt sorry for kristina . kristina does n't buy it . she has a date with kiefer . she blows off kiefer . she gets dressed to kill . she shows up at the casino dressed to show ethan how grown up she is . ethan blows her off . kristina has a fit . there 's the altercation . michael : no , that 's bull . carly : what 's bull ? michael : ethan did n't beat up my sister . it was that son of a bitch kiefer . [ scene_break ] sonny : are you here to tell me that ethan finally admitted he beat up my daughter ? luke : he 'll never do that , sonny , because he 's innocent . now i 'm stooping to a level here that i never thought i 'd reach . i 'm appealing to you as a father . a man knows his kids . on a cosmic level . he knows their core ; their character . not their daughters so much , because they 're women and they remain a mystery . but a man knows his sons . just like you know michael and morgan . i know lucky . and i know ethan . now if lulu had been beaten up the way kristina was , you bet your life i 'd want that son of a bitch to pay , and pay dearly . but you 're looking in the wrong place for justice , man . ethan did n't do this . i 'm asking you ... i 'm begging you , sonny . talk to kristina again . get her to tell you what really happened to her . sonny : luke ... are you calling my daughter a liar ? [ scene_break ] claire : i 'm thinking about calling someone to the stand . i need your opinion . dante : yeah , who would that be ? claire : john zacchara . will he make a good prosecution witness ? [ dante scoffs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : [ moaning ] i got ta start -- mmm , i got ta start thinking about getting back to work pretty soon . but not that soon . johnny : you think claudia ever had a nice , carefree moment like this with sonny ? olivia : [ chuckles ] you care to join me here for a minute ? johnny : i 'm sorry . look , i know i 'm not the best company right now , so if you want to split , i wo n't be offended . olivia : oh , honey , that 's okay . do i look like i 'm going anywhere ? look , if this is how you come today , then so be it . johnny : i just ca n't stop obsessing about how i did nothing while , for months , sonny systemically broke claudia down . and i did n't even stop him . olivia : well , as i recall , she did n't want you to , honey . i mean , for whatever it was worth , she wanted to be in that marriage . johnny : yeah . i guess what matters is karma , right ? the best thing about it is it always ends up catching up with you . so sonny 's going to be sitting in that cell claustrophobic and bi - polar while i systemically break him down and take away everything that used to be his . olivia : okay . honey , um , there 's a real fine line here between wanting justice and a revenge obsession . and , you know , if you cross that line , you come dangerously close to becoming the thing that you 're trying to destroy . and hearing you talk right now , i think you 're pretty close to crossing that line . [ scene_break ] alexis : your sister just had the crap beat out of her , and your solution is to protect the abuser . do you not see what 's wrong with that , sam ? sam : yeah , no , no , no , what i 'm saying is that i think that we should let kristina make the call on how things fall out . alexis : she 's 17 ! not only that , she 's a very confused and a very fragile 17-year - old who 's been traumatized . we all understand why she would want to sweep this under the rug and make it magically disappear , but that 's not a realistic possibility . that 's not going to happen . she has to deal with this . do n't you see , she 's blaming herself for what happened instead of blaming the person that did this to her . that 's wrong . and you , of all people , should understand that . sam : i do , i do . too much . that 's just it . i was talking to jason about it earlier , and i realized that i was projecting my own experience onto kristina . alexis : okay . with all due respect , jason is not the one , he 's not qualified to discuss the ramifications of violence since he contributes to it every day . i know you want to help . but if you want to set a good example for her , encourage her to stand up for herself . that 's the kind of support she needs from you right now . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] lucky : you wanted to see me ? ethan : yeah . i just -- i wanted to let you know that i get it . you know , all the veiled references to some terrible event in luke 's past . well , lulu told me , and dad just confirmed it . he raped your mother . lucky : well , now you know . ethan : yeah , my understanding of you keeps growing by leaps and bounds . i mean , it must have been quite an adjustment realizing your father was n't who you thought he was . [ scene_break ] diane : i need you on sonny containment . jason : why , what 's going on ? diane : while i am deeply , genuinely sympathetic to kristina , sonny 's focus has got to be in the courtroom . that is the way he is going to help his daughter , by not going to prison . jason ? is there something going on that i should know about ? jason : i 'm not sure . diane : you 're not sure if i should know about it , or you 're not sure if there 's something going on ? because i 'll tell you something , if there is something going on that 's going to distract sonny even further , i need to know . jason : okay , there 's a discrepancy in kristina 's story . she says that after sam dropped her off at the lake house , ethan showed up , but that 's impossible . because sam actually drove to the haunted star , and ethan was there . diane : ethan was there ? jason : yes , he was . and i told carly , and she went to speak to kristina . diane : and ? jason : and carly thinks that kristina is not telling the truth . diane : okay , hear me , jason . under no circumstances are you to tell this to sonny . you do n't even hint that kristina might be lying . because if you do , the man 's going to spiral out of control , and i ca n't have the man fighting me while i 'm trying to save his life . [ scene_break ] sonny : i respect you , luke . and if the positions were reversed , i 'd want to believe my son was incapable of such a monstrous act . but now you 're pushing it . you 're talking about my daughter , who is the victim here . but because we 've been friends for so long ... i 'm going to ask you to leave . luke : [ inhales , exhales ] fair enough . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] dante : why do you want my opinion ? claire : i asked , did n't i ? dante : yeah , but you consider me soft on sonny , which i 'm not . but you do n't believe that , so why trust -- claire : can you just answer the question ? john zacchara , good witness or not ? dante : not . he 's nuts , like all the other zaccharas are . john just assimilated better . but he hates sonny with a passion , and in his quest for vengeance , i think he 's going to put himself over the edge . ethan : i do n't know , this whole thing just kind of surprised me . lucky : yeah . you know , it 's moments like this where you realize that it was probably a blessing that you grew up without luke around . i mean , you did n't have to have a profound god - like image of someone you love shattered . or you think you know someone , what lines they would n't cross . then you find out you had no idea . [ scene_break ] britney : so you 're going to have start thinking about what you 're going to wear to court . image is very important . kristina : i do n't think there will be a trial . i mean , this whole thing will blow over , you 'll see . britney : oh , you 're no fun . i thought we 'd be in for a little more drama . kristina : sorry , ca n't accommodate . britney : well , this is a very hard time for you , so we 're going to give you some privacy . kristina : okay . molly : what are you talking about ? of course there 's going to be a trial ! kristina : not if i do n't want one . and i do n't . molly : but ... never mind . i 'm gon na go back to the library . do you want to come ? kristina : i 'm gon na stay here . molly : are you sure ? kristina : positive . you go . i 'll be fine . molly : okay . kiefer : did i just hear right ? you 're serious about dropping the charges against ethan ? [ scene_break ] alexis : the only way i can think to avoid a trial is for ethan to cop a plea , and if he knew that kristina were going to testify , he might very well do that . and then maybe then something in this would be right . sam : for you . for you , for your sense of right and wrong and justice , you 're making kristina 's situation all about your stuff . i was doing the same exact thing . i know . i get it . do me a favor , humor me , okay ? pretend i 'm kristina , you 're the defense lawyer . put me on the stand , and you can realize what she would have to go through . alexis : i know what happens in court . i do this for a living , remember ? i 've seen many a victim take the stand . sam : yeah , but not when the victim is your daughter ! come on . mom , i get it . i understand . i want to see ethan go to prison . i want to see him tried and convicted for what he did to kristina . i get that . alexis : i just ... i believe that it would empower her if she faced him , and it would give her a sense of closure . sam : yeah . kristina does n't think so . ethan has a right to , what do you lawyers call it , a vigorous defense . it is what it is . she 's going to have to get up on that stand and relive that night over and over again . and she is telling us loud and clear , that is not what she wants to do . we have to listen to her . [ scene_break ] michael : i know it was kiefer who hurt krissie . the guy is a jerk . carly : i know , i 've been thinking the same thing . michael : so i got ta go home , and i can make kristina see how foolish she 's being for protecting this creep . carly : no , no . you 're not gon na help your sister if you show up telling her how stupid she is . she 's having a really hard time dealing with this . she 's blaming herself for the whole thing , michael . michael : for being hit ? that 's crazy ! carly : i know , but that 's what happens , okay ? it 's a lot more complicated than you showing up , ordering her to tell the truth . that 's not going to happen . michael : so what ? we let the lie stand ? let ethan take the blame for what kiefer did ? what kind of world do we live in , mom , where the wrong people pay and the guilty go free ? [ sighs ] carly : i know how hard it is to be silent . believe me , i know , but it 's the best thing you can do right now . michael : yeah , but why ? carly : because this is kristina 's tragedy . and she has to figure out how she incorporates this in the rest of her life , and you know , she will . and the truth is going to come out . but until all this happens , the one thing you can do for kristina right now is to stay here until sonny 's trial 's over . do n't forget our goal , okay ? you and sonny . you both being free . to be with the people who love you . michael : okay . i 'll stay . carly : i love you . i love you , baby .

[ scene_break ] dante : no , nikolas is not involved . he would do anything for lulu . anna : yeah , but you just said that he 's been staying in europe over the past few years , which means that he is closer to the cassadines than he is the spencers . so they could have influenced him some way . they could have turned him . dante : who do you think 's been paying for laura 's paris apartment and all her expensive medical treatments ? anna : i do n't know . dante : nikolas has . anna : okay , so that just means he 's fabulously wealthy . it does n't necessarily follow that he 's pure of heart . the entire family is wealthy . but they 're all blatantly evil . though alexis has managed to keep her distance . dante : nikolas would n't hurt lulu . but , uh , he would protect her . anna : family 's notorious for turning on their own . i do n't think helena would have any qualms about silencing him . dante : i 'm telling you , lulu told me that nikolas is the only one helena ever cared about . anna : not judging by the bullet in his gut . dante : he better live through this , because we need to know what he knows . anna : we need to find the shooter . if it 's one of helena 's people -- commissioner ? suspect was spotted in the park . that 's it . that 's it .

patrick : morning . sam : good morning . patrick : what 's so important at this early hour ? sam : oh , it 's just my father 's paper . apparently , my two least favorite people are having their day in court . franco is trying to get out of shadybrook .

[ scene_break ] hayden : well , if it is n't my unconventional and well - funded employer . ric : good morning , hayden . did you have sweet dreams about your husband ? hayden : fake husband . not that the charade 's gon na last that much longer , unless you have the rest of what i need to prove to jake that i 'm his wife . ric : right here . hayden : good . because i know your friend elizabeth is gon na want to see it , too . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : and the answer is yes . i do have feelings for jake . ric : i ... i just do n't think this is the end for us . elizabeth : i think maybe it is . jake : you and ric . carly told me you broke up . elizabeth : no interruptions . jake : i think you win . elizabeth : i think i 'm about to . and the life you have now ? jake : has you in it . so why would i want to waste my time looking back at a blank wall ? maybe it 's time i started ... finding answers in my future with you . hayden : i was told you might be able to help me find a man calling himself jake doe . elizabeth : and -- and who 's asking for him ? hayden : his wife .

[ knocks on door ] jake : uh , hayden , it 's jake . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't believe this . how could a judge let either of these two people out ? patrick : i have no idea . that 's why i 'm a doctor , not a lawyer . i mean , really , with everything that franco did , terrorizing this city , what is nina doing , playing catch - up now ? sam : [ scoffs ] patrick : for some reason , they both terrorized you . sam : well ... all nina did was come in between me and silas . she did n't try and steal my baby , unlike ... patrick : kidnap danny . sam : franco , yeah . strangely , i could -- i - i could almost forgive him because he 's so delusional -- almost . patrick : no . what about all the other crimes and sins ? sam : on top of him coming in between me and jason , i would -- i would say that this guy needs to be locked up for consecutive life terms , and her -- i would throw her crazy ... in a straitjacket . patrick : [ chuckles ] if i did n't know not to cross you before , i do now . sam : [ laughs ] stop . patrick : i agree . franco and nina both deserve to be locked up . sam : ugh . patrick : spend the rest of their life somewhere else , but , you know what ? i 'm not concerned about their life or their living situation . i 'm concerned about ours . [ scene_break ] nina : so , you and maxie broke up ? nathan : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i guess i just took myself out of the race , i guess . nina : why ? nathan : [ sighs ] nina : from everything that you told me , you really love maxie . nathan : i do . i do , and she really loves me . i do n't understand . unfortunately , she does n't love only me . nina : [ sighs ] there 's someone else . nathan : yeah . yeah , and he 's also the father of her child . yeah . which is a bond that maxie and i will never ... nina : bonds are meant to be broken . i mean , you really -- you really love maxie 's baby , right ? nathan : oh , yeah , no , she 's wonderful . nina : and you would be such a great father figure . nathan : hey , that 's -- it 's not gon na happen , nina . nina : all right . i mean , if you want to just walk away and let this loser be with maxie , i guess i 'm gon na respect that , but ... nathan : i do n't want that . nina : well , what does maxie want ? does she want to be with the baby 's daddy ? nathan : i guess that 's up to maxie . [ scene_break ] maxie : okay , georgie , i need to get you ho -- oh ! [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] elizabeth : hi . carly : hi . elizabeth : what are you doing here ? carly : you 're welcome . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and what am i supposed to be grateful for today ? carly : uh , i 'm the one who told jake that you and ric broke up , and jake 's not one to put things off , so i 'm sure he rushed right over here to declare his feelings , so ... did you guys get together ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] we did . carly : okay , so , i - i 'm waiting for my thank you . and i want to thank you from jake because i was a really good friend by rushing to him to tell him that you were free , right ? so ... where is he ? where 's jake ? elizabeth : with his wife . [ scene_break ] [ knocks on door ] jake : hayden , i told you i was coming by . ric : i thought he was n't supposed to be here for another hour . hayden : he 's not . ric : well , then get rid of him . he ca n't see us together . hayden : no kidding . [ knocking continues ] jake : hayden ? ric : what are we gon na do ? [ scene_break ] tj : online dating ? i thought your dad was seeing elizabeth webber . molly : he was , until she broke up with him . [ sighs ] do n't ask . tj : okay . well , at least he 's getting back on the horse . molly : actually , he was taking it pretty hard , thus my sales pitch for the online dating . i 'm dying to see if he 's found someone . i hope so . i just want him to be happy . [ scene_break ] [ knocking continues ] hayden : you 're the one who came up with this scam . if you want jake to keep believing i 'm his wife , you need to come up with something . ric : okay , just -- just ... just stall him . okay , tell him you just woke up , and you -- you need a couple of minutes , that 's all . hayden : because i 'm too modest to let him see me in my sleepwear , even though he 's supposedly my husband ? jake : hayden , i 'm here to see that proof you mentioned . hayden . [ sighs ] look , it 's been a long time since i 've had an id . i 'd really like to see mine . hayden : hi , jake . jake : hi . [ scene_break ] patrick : i do n't know if you remember , but last night , i mentioned something about the two of us moving in together . sam : oh , no , i remember . patrick : [ sighs ] you seemed a little hesitant , so i backed off . sam : oh , really ? [ laughs ] patrick : yeah . sam : you backed off ? i mean , just -- this is you backing off mentioning like 12 hours later ? patrick : well , when i have a good idea , i like to run with it . sam : keep running . [ both laugh ] patrick : okay . fine . i do n't want to pressure you . sam : thank you . patrick : but ... sam : what ? patrick : it was the last thing i thought about last night and the first thing i thought about when i woke up this morning . probably because i saw that beautiful face , and i would like to keep that arrangement . so the best way to keep that arrangement is if you move in with me . what do you think ? [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm sorry , wife ? [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? elizabeth : jake and i came clean about how we feel . and in the middle of our impromptu first date , this woman shows up on my doorstep . carly : this woman claimed to be his wife ? elizabeth : that 's right . carly : did mrs. doe explain where the hell she 's been for the past six months ? elizabeth : beecher 's corners . carly : beecher 's corners ? ! uh , a woman 's husband goes missing , and you do n't bother to check in the closest city ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] so , this woman -- hayden -- she tells us a story about how she and jake went camping near route 31 , where the accident happened , and i guess she got into a huge fight with him , and jake stormed off , only later to be run over by a car , and she thought he left her . and apparently , so did the beecher 's corners police , and that 's why no one went looking for him . carly : okay , that sounds like one big coincidence . elizabeth : yeah , that 's what i thought , too . anyway , she -- she said that she saw a story on the news about the attempted bombing at the haunted star , and she started putting pieces together , and that 's how she wound up right here . carly : okay , so -- so , did jake hop on a bus with this woman to be beecher 's corners , or did -- did one of you , please tell me , ask for some proof ? elizabeth : i did , and i asked . carly : okay , so what did the misses cough up ? elizabeth : she said it was back at the hotel . carly : of course , she did -- it 's back at the hotel . how convenient . okay , what hotel ? elizabeth : the metro court . jake went over this morning to get that very proof . [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're -- you 're early . i was in the bathroom , doing my makeup . jake : well , you look nice . hayden : [ chuckles ] jake : sorry i disturbed you . hayden : so formal . jake : look , i - i do n't know how to do this , but i spent the last six months with nothing but questions , and , apparently , you have some answers for me , so ... hayden : well , in the last six months , i 've had more than a few questions of my own . jake : well , that 's why i 'm early . we need to have this conversation . can i come in ? hayden : i 'm sorry . it 's just , um -- it 's just , you know , your voice is coming out of a new face . i mean , such a handsome face , too , not that you were a slouch before , anyway . i 'm babbling . um , come in . come in , come in . jake : thank you . hayden : um , here . come here . i want to show you something . jake : uh , okay . where are we -- what are we doing ? hayden : [ laughs ] jake : um ... balcony . hayden : yeah . jake : yeah . hayden : do you remember this view ? jake : i have seen it before , yeah . no , i 'm sorry i do n't . hayden : that 's okay . story for another time . i mean , it 's silly , but i 'm actually pretty nervous . jake : that makes two of us . hayden : really ? you were always so calm . it used to drive me crazy . anyway , let 's do this . have a seat . jake : okay . [ clears throat ] hayden : it 's so strange . i mean , you do n't have the face i remember , and you do n't remember my face . anyway , i know that you and elizabeth wanted to see proof of our old life together . jake : sorry to sound suspicious . hayden : i completely understand . i mean , i could be some crazy kook , right ? lucky for both of us , i 'm not . here is your proof . jake : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : if it is n't my two favorite girls ? [ laughs ] it 's nice to see georgie looking so well . color 's returned to her cheeks . by all appearances , no one would know she recently had a brief but necessary stay in the hospital . maxie : yeah . georgie 's doing great . spinelli : and how are you doing ? maxie : i do n't know . fine . spinelli : e - even though your relationship ended last night ? [ scene_break ] nina : if anyone knows what it 's like for the person you love , um , to be ... how do i say this ? nathan : conflicted ? nina : mm . no , i was actually gon na say screwing you over with the person they had a baby with , but , yeah , conflicted . that 's -- i just did n't want to make it about me . nathan : i 'm -- i 'm not quite sure that my situation 's that bad . nina : i 'm your sister . and i love you . okay ? you can come to me with anything . nathan : okay , i appreciate that , but right now , we need you to focus on you . alexis : you should listen to your brother . he 's a very smart man . nina : yeah , he is . do we have to go in already , or can i still have some private time with j. ? alexis : well , if you go in there and do everything you 're supposed to do , you can spend as much time as you want with your brother . i 'll leave you to that . nathan : hey , look , if you 're gon na listen to anybody , i hope it 's alexis . nina : i 'm listening to every word she says . nathan : good . because i need to know that you understand that today is gon na decide whether you get a fresh start or you spend the rest of your days in shadybrook . nina : mm - hmm . not just me . [ scene_break ] ric : [ sighs ] hey . sorry i 'm late . i was unavoidably detained . molly : hi , dad . ric : hi , sweetheart . hey , tj . tj : hey , mr. lansing . ric : good to see you . tj : how you doing ? molly : is it okay if tj joins us ? ric : of course . the more , the merrier . molly : i 've kind of , um , filled him in on , you know , what 's going on . ric : what is going on ? tj : the , uh , online project . ric : [ gasps ] oh , yeah , that -- that . uh , yeah , sure . i -- it could definitely help to have a young man 's perspective . it 's kind of new to me . molly : so , does that mean you tried it out -- the online dating ? ric : as a matter of fact , i did . molly : and ? did you meet anyone ? ric : set up to have coffee with a very nice woman . molly : ah ! so , what happened ? i need details . ric : well , there 's not many details to tell , except this one very important thing . she 's married . [ scene_break ] hayden : let 's see . our , uh -- our marriage certificate . your social security card , your health - insurance card . jake : wow . dr. obrecht is gon na be excited . hayden : who ? jake : does n't matter . uh , do you have any pictures ? hayden : yeah , yeah . i brought a bunch . um ... here 's one . [ scene_break ] carly : so , his name 's really `` jake `` ? elizabeth : jacob barnes . carly : no . mnh - mnh . i do n't like that . that does not sound right . elizabeth : [ laughs ] well , it would explain why he responded to the name jake . it 's the only thing he seems to remember since the accident . carly : well , tell me more about this supposed wife , okay ? how did she behave ? elizabeth : uh , normal for someone coming to reclaim their husband , i guess . i do n't know . carly : what 's she look like ? elizabeth : she 's petite , brown hair , pretty eyes . carly : no . elizabeth : what ? carly : i do n't buy it , elizabeth . none of this sounds right . [ scene_break ] sam : it 's a very generous offer , but you 're gon na have to give me some time to think about it . [ sighs ] patrick : okay . sam : i hurt your feelings . patrick : no , you did n't . sam : yes , i did . patrick : no , you did n't hurt my feelings because i have entirely too much testosterone coursing through this body to have feelings . if you felt anything , it was probably sadness . sam : [ laughs ] patrick : for you , of course . sam : oh , really ? mm - hmm . then what are you , pitying me now ? patrick : oh , how could i not ? sam : mnh . patrick : just a lonely widow raising her child all on her own in this cold , heartless world and being too proud to accept my very generous offer . you are shutting yourself off from passion and romance . sam : is that from `` downton abbey `` ? patrick : yes . no . sam : [ sighs ] patrick : now , what you 're doing is very noble . sam : no . patrick : it 's just unnecessary . sam : [ smooching ] i am so glad your feelings are n't hurt because , if they were ... patrick : what ? sam : [ sighs ] ... i would do just about anything -- everything -- probably everything . patrick : anything , everything ? sam : to make it up to you , yeah , but since your feelings are n't hurt -- patrick : no , no , no , i am wounded . my heart is broken in so many places . i do n't think you could ever fix it . you could try , but ... sam : i 'll try . patrick : how exactly ? 'cause i like being particular . sam : i do n't know . i 'll think of something . [ scene_break ] nathan : i have some things i need to go discuss with alexis . okay . nina : [ sighs ] franco : how you feeling ? nina : nervous . franco : me too . have you figured out how you 're gon na play this -- you 're crazy , you 're not crazy ? what are you gon na do ? nina : um , i - i think that if i go with crazy , alexis is gon na know that i 'm faking it . franco : how could she possibly know that ? nina : uh ... 'cause i told her . [ scene_break ] maxie : what are you talking about ? my relationship with nathan has not ended . why would you say something like that ? spinelli : oh , w - well , apologies from my presumption . maxie : yeah , why would you presume that nathan and i are over ? spinelli : well , before the good detective left volonino 's last night , he did , in fact , say he was taking himself out of the running , did he not ? maxie : yeah , he said that , but -- spinelli : well , and that you -- that you trust me and feel for me and are on my side and -- and have a history -- maxie : spinelli , i know what he said . i was there . spinelli : well , and then that you do n't have the corresponding feelings for him , and that he wants you to be happy with me . maxie : spinelli ... spinelli : the man that you never really stopped loving . maxie : wow ! spinelli : just -- those are his words , his words . maxie : you certainly heard a lot for somebody who was on the ground watching imaginary birds circle his head . spinelli : uh , well , i 'm just saying if that 's not a breakup , i do n't know what is . maxie : you know what ? i need to get georgie out of here before she wakes up . spinelli : i 'm sorry . did you guys have a reconciliation since then ? maxie : no . no , as a matter of fact , i have n't heard from nathan since he stormed out of volonino 's . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 've said too much . maxie : what else is new ? spinelli : i should just let you and sweet georgie pass . maxie : but you know what ? you 're right . spinelli : beg your pardon ? maxie : technically , you 're right . i mean , nathan and i must be over . spinelli : w - well , then i 'm sorry , because i knew you did have feelings for him . but i 'm not sorry how things turned out . because now that nathan has stepped aside , the three of us are free to be a family . maxie : the hell we are . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i - i do n't understand . you do n't -- you do n't want us to be a family . maxie : let it go , spinelli . spinelli : what are you -- no , but i - i - i know that love me . d - d - detective west blurted it out , and you confirmed it . and now that he 's bowing out , so what 's the problem ? maxie : well , t - the problem is , instead of giving me time and space to make my own decisions , you challenged nathan to a boxing match . spinelli : yeah , granted , that was wrong - headed move , but if i could just explain -- maxie : no , i - i will explain . you do n't see me as a person with thoughts and feelings . spinelli : what , no , no , no . i can assure you -- i -- maxie : no , i 'm some sort of prize , like a championship belt with a huge gaudy buckle , a belt that no one even wears , a belt with no purpose . now why would i want to be with someone that treats me like that ? [ scene_break ] nathan : how 's nina seem to you ? alexis : i think if she stays focused and she tells the truth , it could be okay . nathan : so , you 're optimistic ? alexis : cautiously . nathan : me too . but -- i mean , she seemed fine when we brought her in for her last hearing , and then she saw ava 's baby ... alexis : uh , yeah , i know . let 's not rehash that . i was there for the meltdown , remember ? nathan : the judge has to know about it , too . alexis : i 'm sure . nathan : well , we have to assume that he 's got her updated medical files , which means that he 's aware of her progress or lack there of . alexis : we should assume that the judge knows everything . nathan : okay , well , if he knows that she 's still delusional , why would he let her go ? alexis : why do n't you let me handle that ? nathan : alexis , you know something i do n't ? [ scene_break ] franco : you told alexis that you faked your breakdown ? nina : uh - huh . franco : you did n't tell me that . nina : um , mnh - mnh . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't know how . i 'm sorry . franco : why did you do that ? nina : because i - i did n't -- i did n't know what to do , and i just need someone to help me . and , uh , i - i felt that for her to best advise me , she would have to know the whole situation . franco : what was her advice ? nina : we 're trying to figure it out . franco : pshoo . well , this is great . [ sighs ] nina : umm , are you mad at me ? franco : no , i get it . you were scared . you felt like you had no other choice but to tell somebody something . i totally understand . nina : you do ? franco : yeah . i did exactly the same thing .

[ clears throat ] i 'm wearing a wedding ring in this picture . why am i not wearing one now ? [ scene_break ] carly : uh , okay , so while jake 's at the metro court meeting his alleged wife , what are you doing here ? elizabeth : where else am i supposed to be ? carly : at the metro court making sure that woman is n't gon na pull something . elizabeth : and how am i supposed to do that ? administer a polygraph while she 's walking him down memory lane ? carly : whatever it takes ! but we ca n't sit around here and do nothing . elizabeth : oh , now it 's a `` we `` ? carly : okay , you know what , elizabeth ? i - i - i just thought that you had a vested interest in saving jake from this woman who , trust me , is either a crackpot or a con artist . whatever . um , you said she 's at the metro court . elizabeth : i did . carly : that 's great because , lucky for us ... i have a key . [ scene_break ] patrick : what do you got there ? sam : my wedding ring . remember how i told you when i decided to take it off , i , uh ... well , i - i put it in here to keep it safe . patrick : mm - hmm . sam : well , when jason and i were separated , we both took off our wedding rings and we put them in here , and then the night jason got shot , he put my ring back on my finger , and i put his ring back on his . patrick : so , that 's why there 's only one ring ? jake : there was only one ring ? [ scene_break ] hayden : why are n't you wearing your ring ? jake : yeah . i mean , if this truly is me in this picture , i should be wearing this ring , but i 've never seen it before , and the hospital gave me back all my personal effects , so i clearly was n't wearing this ring at the time of the accident . hayden : you were n't . i told you . you were furious before you took off . you said you were done arguing with me , and then you threw it at me before you left . jake : geez . hayden : i 've kept it all this time .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , whose idea was the dna test ? griffin : it was a mutual decision . yeah , i 'm sure my mother told me the truth , but i 'm a doctor , so it never hurts to verify . this way , anna will have all the proof she needs . sonny : you know , [ sighs ] when we met in the chapel , i got a feeling about you . it was easy to talk to you . griffin : i remember . we connected over our losses . sonny : and our faith . griffin : i did n't even know who you were then or that my father worked with you . sonny : duke lavery was a true gentleman . and he was kind and thoughtful , and he never backed down from his beliefs . griffin : that 's the same thing anna said . sonny : i guess that 's where you get it from . [ scene_break ] paul : i just want to assure you that i 'm using every possible resource to track down rivera , but you of all people should understand these kind of operations take time . anna : oh , i 'm supposed to be patient ? yeah , that does n't work for me . do you know who i 've been contacted by ? duke 's son . yeah , i 'm not sure of the relationship yet , so we 're running some dna tests . but i have to say the circumstantial evidence is pretty compelling . paul : what does this have to do with carlos ? anna : he 's still out there . none of this is resolved . i accused duke 's son of trying to coax a confession out of me today . now , i have a lot of flaws . i just never thought i was paranoid . so i do n't intend to spend the rest of my life second - guessing everyone i meet . paul : i trust you did n't say anything to this fellow . anna : no , i did n't , paul . our secrets are safe . i do n't like being in league with you , so i 've decided to use my own resources to find carlos and bring him in . [ scene_break ] laura : hey , lulu . [ chuckles ] you won . i 'm ready to give up the riddle forever . lulu : [ sighs ] um , maybe you might want to rethink that . laura : why ? lulu : there 's something in the book . laura : what ? lulu : it looks like an old wrist corsage . laura : oh , my gosh . i remember this ! scotty was in law school , and we were going to a formal , and he gave this to me . my goodness . [ scoffs ] i have n't thought about that night in years . lulu : did something special or unusual happen that night ? laura : no . no , it -- well , except for the fact that it really was one of the last happy times that we had together in our marriage . i guess he must 've kept it . [ sighs ] lulu : do you think that helena knew it was in scott 's book ? laura : oh , yes . of course , she did . she does n't leave anything to chance . lulu : well , then that brings us back to scott . what does it even mean ? it 's not like you 're looking to rekindle that old flame . laura : no . although , you know , [ chuckles ] that was a pretty magical time in my life . i mean , we were so young and so in love and ... that was long before helena was ever a part of my life . so why would she be pointing me in this direction ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : feds have always suspected you knew what your father was up to , but you denied it . elizabeth : well , does that surprise you ? she 's a first - class con artist . runs in the family . nikolas : your father protected you , but the investors he cheated , they want restitution , any little bit of cash they can get their hands on to make up for the life savings they lost , to make up for the future of their children that your father stole from them . elizabeth : you reinvented yourself , all right . you changed your look , your name , just so you can hang on to all that money you and your father hid before he got arrested . hayden : he did n't hide anything . he was wiped out , and so was i. i lost everything -- my home , my husband , every friend , every associate , every penny . everything i had , it was all gone . everyone suspected me . i could n't go anywhere without someone staring at me . i had to do something to survive . elizabeth : you could 've gone anywhere in the world . you should 've gone to idaho and worked in a department store . why 'd you pick port charles ? hayden : i did n't . i was in beecher 's corners , putting my life together as hayden barnes , when ric lansing contacted me . i agreed to say that i was jason 's wife because ric was willing to pay and i was desperate for money . nikolas : you must 've been thrilled when you stumbled upon me , huh , a prince just waiting to be swindled ? [ scene_break ] laura : then there has got to be more . lulu : more inside the trunk ? laura : yeah , you know , like a false bottom , a secret compartment . laura : mom , what if there is ? okay , what if there is another key that leads to another lock and on and on ? who even knows what helena meant by `` you 'll find what you lost `` ? this could be like `` rosebud `` from `` citizen kane . `` laura : it could be . lulu : nothing else in the trunk ? laura : no . so that 's it . lulu : that 's it , mom . it 's over . we 're done . laura : [ sighs ] it -- you know what ? it just -- it ca n't be that simple . lulu : it can be that simple . but , mom , i 'll admit that that corsage made me a little curious , okay ? but that was what it was supposed to do . every minute you spend chasing this mystery is a minute that you are giving to helena , a minute where you are doing what she wants . laura : lulu . the answer 's in the book . [ scene_break ] hayden : what we have , who we are to each other , that 's real . nikolas : no , no , why should i believe anything that you say ? you are raymond berlin 's daughter . do you understand how that -- hayden : nikolas , nikolas , if we could just talk someplace alone , i can explain everything . nikolas : look , stop . listen , please , please , please . do n't embarrass yourself . i saw those papers you tried to have drawn up without my knowledge . hayden : i told you why i did that . nikolas : of course , you did . because you wanted to protect me in case we lost the lawsuit . i did n't -- you know what ? i did n't believe you when you were with diane . i sure as hell do n't believe you right now . elizabeth : she tried to take elq from you ? hayden : i was trying to protect nikolas . nikolas : no . [ chuckles ] whatever . what you were trying to do is protect yourself hayden -- or rachel -- or whatever the hell i 'm supposed to call you . i do n't -- i do n't know . what were you hoping to do , use elq to pay back your clients ? or use my company to get back into the investment game and con more investors out of their money ? i do n't -- hayden : it was n't about either of those things , nikolas , and i swear on all that i am i did n't know what my father was doing . nikolas : let 's assume for the moment that all of that is true and you 're innocent . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] nikolas : why would n't you just tell me who you are ? you had the perfect opportunity in vegas when baxter -- if that 's his name -- called you by your real name . you could 've told me the truth right there instead of letting elizabeth figure it out herself . hayden : i was afraid our marriage would be over before it started . please believe me . [ scene_break ] paul : you ca n't just throw out a wsb dragnet and haul carlos in . he 'll tell the truth that you shot him . anna : and that you killed sloane . oh , that 's too bad for us , is n't it ? paul : anna , you 're losing sight of the objective . i thought the endgame here was to put jerome behind bars . anna : yeah , that 's gon na happen because my resources will be able to arrange it far more efficiently than yours . paul : hey , are you willing to sacrifice everything to put julian and carlos behind bars ? anna : i want justice for duke , and that 's more important than my own freedom . and if carlos puts you away at the same time , it 's only fair . [ scene_break ] sonny : duke was loyal to a fault . he defended the people he loved . he was gentle on the outside , had a lot of fight on the inside . he was a fighter , a survivor , and despite what happened to him , inside his core , he was a good guy . and i know that 's hard for you to understand , because he worked for me . griffin : no , a man is not defined by his work . a man 's more than just his job . sonny : duke would 've been hella proud to have you as a son . i mean , he would 've been a world - class father . it 's just too bad that he died before you got to know him . griffin : i guess it just was n't in god 's plan . sonny : god had nothing to do with it . some son of a bitch gunned him down . griffin : i know . i read the newspaper articles . anna filled me in on a few details about carlos rivera . sonny : well , then you know that rivera played god 'cause , if it was god 's plan , he would n't have had carlos kill duke . griffin : i 'm gon na tell you the same thing i told her . sonny : what 's that ? griffin : forgive the man that killed my father . [ scene_break ] paul : work with me on this a - a little while longer . i just need some time . anna : no , there are no guarantees that carlos is gon na cooperate with you . i have to do everything i can to find him . paul : how ? you 're the one who shot him . i 'm your best chance at finding carlos . anna : honestly , you just seem concerned with your own self - interests . paul : how can you say that , anna ? i 've protected you over and over again . anna : for your own reasons , you know , whatever they may be . paul : [ sighs ] anna : what i 've realized is that i ca n't allow my own desire for freedom to get in the way of justice anymore . paul : anna . anna : no , that 's it . we 're done , paul . i 've got work to do . [ door closes ] paul : yeah , i - it 's hornsby . listen , i got a juicy tip for you , but you did n't hear it from me . it 's about jerome 's hit man , carlos rivera . the pcpd made a mistake in identifying that floater . rivera 's still alive . oh , yeah . oh , you do n't have to tell me . this town is full of people who 'd be happy to pump him full of bullets without thinking twice . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you knew your father , you would n't be able to forgive . griffin : you know i 'm familiar with loss . you 've been there . you know how it feels . i 've been angry . i 've let bitterness fester and seep into my blood , until i realized that forgiveness will set me free . i could n't move on with my life until i stopped seeking revenge , that -- that justice in the world . sonny : yeah , but i ca n't do that . griffin : what are you gon na do instead ? plot revenge ? meet bloodshed with bloodshed ? repay violence with violence ? that 's not gon na bring you peace , and that 's certainly not gon na honor my father . that 's so far away from the good faith that i know is inside you . leave rivera in god 's hands . do yourself a favor . rise ... rise above the empty satisfaction of revenge . [ scene_break ] kristina : [ crying ] what am i supposed to do ? i - i ca n't help what i feel for you . i ca n't make it go away . parker : part of your confusion i think is because of me ... because of my position , because i 'm married . kristina : [ sighs ] parker : you do know it 's wrong , but not because i 'm a woman . kristina : great , i 'm so glad that it all makes sense to you . [ sighs ] parker : i do n't want you to feel this way . i do n't want you to feel shame and fear . i want you to be excited ! be happy to explore this other side of yourself . embrace it and embrace who you are . sexuality is just ... one part of this extraordinary woman you 're becoming .

[ scene_break ] hayden : all i want is for us to be together . please , nikolas . you 've got to believe me . elizabeth : nikolas , do n't do this to yourself . she is no better than britt . hayden : you know what , elizabeth ? your work here is done . could you please gloat in another room ? elizabeth : gladly . be careful . hayden : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you ... who i am . you understand how a family can destroy a person . my father was so notorious . he was hated for what he did , and by extension , so was i. i was so ashamed and humiliated . i still am . nikolas , i need -- nikolas : do n't . stop , stop ! hayden : i needed to be someone else . i needed to be the woman i became with you . i needed to love and to be loved , and that 's all i wanted from you . nikolas : [ scoffs ] hayden : not money . nothing else -- just to be with you . no matter who my father is , no matter what lies i told , no matter who i am , the one big truth is this ... i love you , nikolas . [ sighs ] [ next_on ] elizabeth ( to laura ) : piece of advice -- steer clear of the living room . all hell 's breaking loose down there . nikolas ( to hayden ) : if you 're lying about this , what -- what the hell else are you lying about ? sam ( to jason ) : there 's some things that just do n't add up . paul ( to ava ) : we need to renew our mutually beneficial arrangement . finn ( to tracy ) : what happened ? what 's wrong ? | laura and lulu finds the mysterious crate someone recently put in the attic with nikolas ' will . laura is intrigued that the key helena gave her opens it . lulu continues to remind her mom that she is spending too much time and energy obsessing about possible `` clues `` that could go nowhere and that 's just what helena wants . yet laura protests to her daughter she somehow knows there is significance and wants to unravel the mystery as she discovers a law book which she remembers belonged to scott baldwin many years ago when they were together , as well as a rose he gave her , as she recalls her history with both lulu 's father as well as scott . elizabeth reveals to nikolas that she 's just found out that hayden is really rachel berlin , daughter of known investment tycoon raymond berlin who did many terrible things and cheated people out of their rightful monetary assets . hayden protests that she intended to break away from her dishonorable family , reform herself and find love when she met nikolas . yet he assesses she 's been continually lying from the start and it 's not ending so he has no reason to believe a word she says . when anna talks to griffin and he probes her about her `` secrets `` she is not revealing to him regarding the death of duke , she immediately suspects he may be lying about being duke 's son , could very well be working for paul or otherwise spying upon her by using duke 's death . he agrees to let her run his dna to prove he is not lying as he protests all he wants to do is find out more about his dad . griffin reveals to sonny , for the first time that he is duke 's son . sonny informs him how highly he thought of duke and sees the same wonderful traits in his son . he assumes the son of his murdered friend would want , as much as he does , to bring duke 's killer to justice . yet griffin protests to sonny , just as he has to anna , that they must exercise and embrace the `` gift `` of forgiveness for their own sake as well as for duke 's memory . meanwhile , carlos calls paul and tells him he does not trust him knowing paul and many others have incentive to want him dead . he demands paul wire him the money he needs or else he will inform anna and many others , of the secrets that could mean detrimental consequences for paul . after the conversation , paul gets a visit from anna who announces she does not trust him to find carlos and she will do it , herself . at that point , paul knows he needs to take drastic action so he calls and informs a contact that carlos rivera is alive and indirectly encourages them to put another hit on carlos , reminding them how everyone wants it and it could easily be covered up . parker goes to see kristina and concludes she has feelings for her but needs to let kristina explore herself and her sexuality without fear , shame , or need to cover it up . |

[ scene_break ] sam : silas has been completely cooperative , so unless you have any more questions ... silas : hey , and here 's a little lead for you . if you want to find madeline , she 's probably at the metro court hotel . they 're the only ones with 300-thread - count sheets , and they put that little mint on your pillow . she likes that kind of thing . nathan : you mind if i hold on to these ? silas : sure . knock yourself out . tell madeline i ai n't signing until she tells me what happened to nina . [ scene_break ] carly : so , if you do n't mind me asking , what did this guy do to your daughter ? madeline : actually , i do mind you asking . i do n't mean to be rude , but it 's a very painful subject i 'd rather avoid . carly : understood . madeline : and what has you in such a contemplative mood this evening , if you do n't mind my asking ? carly : someone hurt one of my kids , too . [ scene_break ] dante : what are you doing ? dr. obrecht : what does it look like ? i 'm taking my leave . now , if you will kindly get out of the way ... lulu : no . no , no . dr. obrecht : i 'm asking politely . i would think you would cooperate , detective . you would n't want anyone to get hurt , would you ? dante : see , you 're not making any sense here . you say you care about britt , yet you 'll hurt the child that she 's come to love ? dr. obrecht : i 've never been one to shy away from what doing what has to be done , even if it means incurring some collateral damage . dante : you 're not gon na hurt that child . dr. obrecht : try me . [ scene_break ] lucas : dr. obrecht pulled a knife on you ? brad : it was more of a dagger . yes . lucas : oh , come on , brad ! enough ! brad : i 'm serious , okay ? she 's a known criminal . the only reason she 's not in a supermax is because she cut some kind of deal with the feds . oh , okay . wait . when you found us outside , yeah , we were n't taking a stroll . she pushed me off that parapet thingy ! lucas : you 're serious ? brad : i 've got the bruises to prove it . lucas : yeah , a fall like that , and you should be -- brad : yeah , yeah , could have killed me . i think that was pretty much frau doktor 's point . obrecht made it perfectly clear that if i told the truth , i 'd be dead . ca n't you understand that ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : god , i loved you . i trusted you . i trusted you , and you lied to my face . and if the truth had n't come out here tonight , you 'd have gone on lying to my face for the rest of our lives ... while my sister continued to fall apart . but , see , you do n't -- you do n't care about any of that . britt : no , that 's not -- nikolas : see , first you tell me the baby is patrick 's , and then you tell me that brad is the father , only you did n't mean it literally , but then you did , and then you insisted that you got an anonymous sperm donor from the lab . you continued to change your story , one confession after another , and i kept believing it . what an idiot i was ! britt : no . you 're not an idiot . nikolas : yes . yes , i was . i kept believing , and i would have kept on believing . i would have never known that ben was dante 's if elizabeth had n't figured it out , because you sure as hell were n't gon na tell me . the only person who could was elizabeth . [ scene_break ] ric : mm . i swear i forgot what it was to feel like that . feels like the first time all over again . elizabeth : but that does n't mean that this is okay . ric : no , it means everything , elizabeth . that 's why i 'm here . look , i know you feel it too , okay ? it 's like i said earlier today , you know ? we were good together once . we can be good again . i care so much about you , elizabeth . please , just ... let me show you how much , okay ? let me be with you . [ scene_break ] britt : here we go again -- st. elizabeth ? 'cause she certainly never lied to anyone about her children , right -- never told one man he was the father when the baby actually belonged to his brother ? nikolas : britt , britt , do n't -- do n't bring elizabeth down to your level . if it were n't for her uncovering your lies , dante would never know that ben was his child , and even after that truth was exposed , you kept on lying , insisting that you never knew that ben was his child . britt : i thought -- nikolas : and all the time , i defended you . i proposed to you . and you accepted , knowing that this -- this lie was between us . my god , britt . you must have been thrilled , knowing that ... you might have gotten away with it . britt : i never thought anything like that . i was amazed that , after everything that we 've been through , that you -- you still loved me and that you still wanted to marry me . nikolas : that 's not gon na happen . the engagement is off . [ scene_break ] madeline : does that mean you 're going to implement your policy to hurt whoever hurt your child ? carly : it 's not that simple . my son is worried about his biological father . madeline : is that a problem ? carly : it 's always been a problem , even before my son was born . i mean , this man -- i 'm not even gon na call him `` my son 's father `` because he 's not . he 's a glorified sperm donor . he 's entitled . he 's self - indulgent . he is relentlessly self - destructive . i never wanted him to be a part of my son 's life , but he pushed his way in , and now he 's in the hospital . he 's in icu , and my son is sitting vigil by his bedside , trying to pull him through . and my beautiful , wonderful son is torturing himself for this son of a bitch . god , i need another drink . [ laughs ] madeline : was this like a sudden illness ? carly : well , i -- you could say that . i mean , he was shot . he was shot , and my son wants justice . madeline : oh . carly : [ sighs ] madeline : can you arrange that ? carly : no , i - i have no idea who did it . nathan : [ clears throat ] carly : hi . we 're closed . nathan : i apologize for the inconvenience . it 's police business . if i could have a word with mrs. reeves ? carly : uh ... sure . madeline : james , i thought we agreed you would n't approach me in public . nathan : did you break in to silas clay 's apartment ? madeline : i beg your pardon ? nathan : did you break in to his apartment ? madeline : why would i break in to anybody 's apartment , let alone silas ' ? nathan : because he would n't do what you wanted . he would n't sign these , renouncing his claim to nina 's estate . madeline : where did you get that ? nathan : clay gave them to me . i was the investigating officer on the scene . he says you showed up at his office . you tried to pressure him into signing them . madeline : and ? nathan : why did n't you tell me about any of this ? mother ... what are you hiding ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you want to sleep with me after just one date , one kiss ? ric : come on , elizabeth . we 're not kids , right ? we 're not strangers . we were married . we have history . look , i know you , elizabeth , okay ? i know there 's a part of you that wants to be with me . why do n't you just let yourself feel it ? elizabeth : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] britt : you do n't mean that . mnh - mnh . nikolas : you have to return the ring . britt : what ? no ! nikolas : it was a symbol of a pledge that i am no longer making to you . britt : you 're no longer making ? nikolas : britt , the promises i made are no longer binding , because everything that you told me was n't real ! britt : but i was honest with you about my feelings for you , nikolas . nikolas : you have to give it back to me . take it off . take it off ! we 're finished . britt : no , not until you hear what i have to say . nikolas : what else is there to say , britt ? you lied to me . you hurt patrick , you hurt lulu , her husband , ben , numerous amounts of other people . britt : i never hurt ben . nikolas : you might as well have kidnapped him ! seriously ! i mean , you 're no better than your mother ! britt : do n't say that . nikolas : all the lies you concocted -- you were trying to help dante and lulu conceive another child . all the while , you were just trying to ease your own conscience . britt : no ! i was trying to help lulu ! nikolas : and it never occurred to you to hand over her own child ? ! it never occurred to you ? ! britt : [ crying ] nikolas : do n't ! stop ! britt : i love him . nikolas : you know , you throw that word around a lot , but you do n't really know what it means . britt : i was trying to make up for what i 've done , nikolas . i was giving lulu time with ben . nikolas : lulu time with ben ? ! britt , lulu 's not some neighborhood kid that you hired to babysit ! she is ben 's mother ! and if you had it your way , she would have never known the truth . i want you out of my house right now .

[ scene_break ] brad : look , i - i know this all sounds ridiculously crazy , but it 's true . i 'm just asking that you understand -- lucas : no , brad . what i understand is that you kept my cousin from her baby for incredibly selfish reasons , long before there were any alleged death threats . you hurt somebody else just to get ahead , and i do n't want to be with somebody like that . and i thought we had a connection , but i was wrong . brad : we do . lucas : no , we do n't . i 'm not like you . i 'd never do what you did . brad : ca n't we just talk about this ? lucas : no , we ca n't . goodbye , brad .

[ scene_break ] judge roth : there is nothing to indicate that ms. clay has recovered from this relapse . if that 's the case , why should i rule that she 's competent now ? why should i sign off on her release ? alexis : because , your honor , that breakdown was fake . it was all an act so that my client could stay at shadybrook .

[ scene_break ] luke : having you tied up like this -- it 's a hell of a way for a family to get to know each other . but , you see , it 's necessary , because until you 're ready to be honest with me about where patricia is , i ca n't have you running out into the street , screaming a bunch of stuff , having to have people come wondering what 's going on . ca n't have that . so ... you need to keep up your strength . come on . open wide . valerie : ow ! luke : here we go . open the hangar .

[ scene_break ] dante : so , the swiss police had a guy in custody that matched luke 's description , was carrying a dr. franz von schemerman passport . lulu : so my dad hired that guy to act as a decoy ? dante : and we 're back to square one . no idea where your dad went after he left shadybrook . lulu : [ sighs ] well , he 's crafty . i 'll give him that . no one can go to ground like my dad can . dante : let 's go inside . i want to hear about your trip with tracy .

[ scene_break ] patrick : okay , i 'll bite . why do you think that he was talking about your ring ? sam : look , i - i know it does n't make a lot of sense right now , but i 'm just thinking he did break into my home . patrick : oh , yeah , i remember . the night that he tried to murder us . sam : yeah , okay . so he -- obviously , he took the figurine . so he was looking around the room when we were in the shower , and is it possible that he went into this thing here and saw that there was only one ring ? patrick : did he mention this or the rings that night in the pcpd ? sam : no , but he definitely remembered seeing the figurine . patrick : okay , let 's just say that the night that he did break in , that he saw your ring . sam : [ sighs ] patrick : now , does that mean that he expected to see two rings , or does he know that one is missing and who it belongs to ? sam : i suppose jake could have known about jason and my wedding rings . i mean , who knows what helena told him before she sent him here ? patrick : i was speaking hypothetically . i did n't actually assume that he saw your ring . sam : yeah , i - i guess you 're right . but it does n't really matter , though , because this is obviously a wedding ring , and they typically come in pairs . patrick : yeah , you 're probably right , but ... sam : but what ? go ahead . patrick : what if he did see the ring the night that he was lurking here ? yeah ? okay , why would he bring it up right before going into surgery ? [ scene_break ] carly : you brought a ring . that does n't prove anything . jake : can i have my hand back , please ? elizabeth : i 'm sorry . coming here was all carly 's idea . jake : i had that impression . carly : someone has to make sure this woman does n't take you for a ride ! hayden : this woman would prefer to be addressed like she 's actually in the room . carly : i 'm not trying to be rude ... hayden : you 're not ? carly : but you need to understand my suspicion . no one came looking for jake for months . hayden : i thought i explained that . i thought he left voluntarily . carly : yeah , i heard all about the camping trip . you guys were on a camping trip , you had a big fight , and he stomped off . without his wedding ring ? hayden : he threw it at me , he was so upset . i thought he needed some time . i had no idea that he had been in an injury and lost his memory . carly : so now you show up . you brought the ring . and it fits just like cinderella 's slipper , except the slipper was glass and enchanted , and anyone can buy a wedding ring . hayden : like you said , my husband 's ring ... jake : oh , gosh . hayden : ... fits . it slipped right on his finger , just like it did the day we were married . carly : is it a size 9 ? jake : w - what ? carly : your ring size -- is it a 9 ? jake : i would have no idea . carly : well , i do , because i notice things like that , and so do a lot of people . hayden : does your eye extend to photos , as well ? here we are on our wedding day . [ scene_break ] ric : we had a very simple agreement . you pose for some photographs , and i pay you more cash than you 've ever seen in your entire life . pete : well , guess what ? turns out i 'd like to see a hell of a lot more . [ scene_break ] dante : your aunt patricia 's dead ? lulu : obviously , i 'm disappointed for many reasons . i know i never met her , but she was family . dante : yeah , and you -- you thought she had the key to explaining everything that 's been going on with your dad . lulu : she was the oldest of the spencer siblings . i mean , she was the only person who might have remembered some specific traumatic event that 's causing my dad 's breakdown . but ... there was a silver lining . dante : oh , yeah ? lulu : i found out that i have another cousin -- patricia 's daughter , valerie . dante : well , that 's something . what 's she like ? lulu : uh , she seemed nice enough . i think she was a little overwhelmed by two strangers showing up at her door , claiming to be related . tracy said she got a bad vibe from her . dante : [ scoffs ] tracy being tracy , or you think something legitimate ? lulu : i 'm not sure . valerie said that she lived alone , but we heard a noise that sounded like something fell down . turns out it was just her cat , but tracy -- she thinks that valerie was lying , thinks that somebody was in the next room . dante : what if tracy 's right ? what if someone was there ? [ scene_break ] valerie : [ sobbing ] she was my mother ! she meant everything to me . you -- you were her brother , who did n't even bother to look her up in 30 years . why are you suddenly so interested in her now , after she 's long gone ? luke : what i want is between patricia and me , and none of your damn business . so , until you 're ready to be honest about where she is , you can just keep your mouth shut ! valerie : she knows something , does n't she ? that 's what your wife and your daughter were telling me . my mother knows something that could hurt you . luke : `` knows `` ? now , why would you be talking about your mother in the present tense if she 's dead and rotting in her grave ? hmm ? valerie : fine ! you got me . she 's alive . luke : yes !

patrick : if you 're leaving the scorpios ' , the obvious solution is to move back in with me . robin : i told you i 'm not ready to do that . patrick : okay , so the apartment that you picked out , the apartment you basically decorated , where the man you supposedly love lives , is not where you want to reside ? that 's -- that 's fine , i can try and deal with that . but you have other friends , you have options . robin : i know -- patrick : why move in with nikolas ? robin : look , because i just need you to trust me on this one , okay ? can you do that for me ? patrick : why ? what 's going on between you and nikolas ?

[ scene_break ] patrick : so there we were . robin in denial . me tripping over myself to join her . neither one of us doing anything constructive to try and help the problem . sonny : maybe robin was just waiting for the right time . patrick : or the right stranger . sonny : what do you mean ? i do n't understand . patrick : a couple of nights ago , sonny , we had plans to go out for dinner to our favorite restaurant . she 'd been wanting to go for weeks . i was held up a little bit at work , so i tried to get a hold of her to tell her . she was n't answering her phone . she was n't at the restaurant . it 's not like robin to go take off without her husband and baby , right ? sonny : right . patrick : well , that 's exactly what she did . she ended up at some hotel in rochester -- took on a whole new persona , named herself nancy . no husband , no children , no problems . sonny : sorry , does n't sound like robin one bit . patrick : yeah , she claims she hit rock bottom which is still yet to be seen . she did come home and admit that she needs help . sonny : well , that 's a good thing . i mean , i know a thing or two about denying a chemical imbalance . it took me a long time to face the fact that i was bipolar . but i tell you what , if you ask for help , that 's a big step in the right direction . patrick : yeah , except i 'm afraid it 's all lip service because robin 's idea of treatment was inviting lainey over for lunch . sonny : lainey is a good psychiatrist . she treated me . patrick : she 's a great doctor , but she 's also one of robin 's best friends . which is fine if she actually uses lainey 's services . ten minutes into the conversation , robin got up and took off , which led to my unforgivable transgression by going to someone who has been through postpartum to try to talk to her about it and try to find some insight . sonny : are we talking about carly ? patrick : yes , carly . sonny : you know that 's not robin 's favorite person . patrick : absolutely , but it 's the only woman i know that can maybe give me some help here . sonny : robin went off ? patrick : and so did i . and once again , i 'm the bad guy . [ scene_break ] claudia : are you sure you want to do this ? ric : why would n't i ? claudia : because i think that you should just quit while you 're ahead . settle for what you 've got . quit trying to chase the elusive , ric . it 's not going to make your brother be any other kind of brother . he 's not going to be the one you want him to be . ric : believe me ; i gave up that fantasy a long time ago . claudia : you finally have the access that you want . enjoy it . let that be enough . come on , ric . using me to bring down your brother is never going to make him love you . ric : you 're not listening . okay , that 's not what i 'm after here . claudia : then what is the point ? ric : claudia , you 're smarter than this . i would 've thought you figured it out by now . i want everything . i want everything that sonny has . i want his money . i want his power . i want his wife . and you know what ? i want you to make me a drink . make sure it 's the good stuff . claudia : why do n't you make it yourself ? ric : why do n't you pour it for me ? i 'd like it better . claudia : okay . ric : something about this seems very right . you jumping through hoops is going to make me happy . ric : wow . claudia : here you go . i hope you choke on it . ric : oh , you 're so sexy -- very , very sexy when you 're pissed . you know that ? ric : why do n't you go over there and take your clothes off . and do it real slow , like you like me . [ scene_break ] jason : i can see that this has been hell for you , and it 's got to be the same for patrick . because i remember when carly had postpartum , and i 'll never forget the look on her face when she realized that she could not even touch her own baby . i would have done anything for her . but there was nothing i could do . robin : i know this must be really hard on patrick . but telling carly ? come on . i know she 's your best friend , but you know our history . jason : what does it matter ? carly suffered from the same disorder as you . if she can give patrick some advice that could help you both , why not take it ? robin : i do n't know . i just wish patrick was more like you -- less morally superior and more supportive . jason : well , i do n't know patrick well , but i do know that he 's a good doctor , and he 's a good guy . and right now he may not be doing or saying everything right , but i 'm sure all he wants is for you to get better . [ scene_break ] sonny : as you know , i 've known robin a long time . i know how she copes . i know the tools she uses . she 's had to go through a lot in her life . the person she loved dying of aids , getting diagnosed herself , living with hiv -- through that she 's had an incredible support system . but she has this stubborn , intense independent streak . she wants to do everything herself . she wants her own resources , and she has many . patrick : you definitely know my wife . sonny : yeah , she 's strong . she 's reliable , responsible , but she 's never let herself down until now . and here 's what i 'm thinking , patrick . i 'm thinking that maybe her system has failed her . whatever she used in the past to get over a crisis is not working anymore . and the chemical imbalance makes her emotionally unstable . and i can tell you right now , i can understand what it 's like to want to get away and be someone else for a minute . patrick : yeah , i mean , that all sounds reasonable . so what do i do ? sonny : first and foremost , you got to take care of emma . whatever you and robin are going through is going to make you guys stronger . emma does n't really know what 's going on . maybe she just feels that her mother is not 100 % emotionally available . but you have to make up for that . patrick : okay . sonny : second of all , i think -- i know it 's not easy . you got to make it okay -- you got to make it okay for robin , you know . give her the time and space she needs to deal with whatever she needs to deal with . do n't second- guess her . do n't doubt her . have some faith . personally , i think you 're going to get through it .

[ scene_break ] jax : jerry should have gone to prison after he held half the town hostage . but he convinced me that he wanted to change his life , and i believed him . i covered for him , michael . and that gave jerry time to form alliances with people like claudia zacchara and ian devlin . my brother did n't pull the trigger , but he was part of the operation . it does n't matter that nobody knew that you were going to be there or that your father was the intended target . the unthinkable happened . and i have to own my share of the responsibility . i had a chance to come clean with your mother , but i did n't . i did n't say anything . i do n't think i 'm going to . see , we 're back together . it 's been a long time coming . she 's really happy right now . i do n't want to sacrifice that . because if carly ever knew what i allowed jerry to do , i 'm afraid that i 'd lose her forever .

that 's why i 'm here , doc , you see ? because i 'm gon na make her remember what happened -- so it never happens again . carly : you 're bluffing . you 're a cop from pennsylvania . this is port charles . you have no jurisdiction here . john : yeah , i have no jurisdiction here , do i ? no . of course , i could hold you here physically until local authorities arrive . carly : they 're not gon na arrest me for trying to open up a filing cabinet in my own building . john : not your office , not your file cabinet . carly : not your business . john : okay . what do you say we start over ? hi . i 'm john mcbain . i could really use your help . carly : you want information about my ex - husband -- sonny . john : if sonny had something to do with the deaths of cole and hope thornhart , he should pay for it , do n't you think ? carly : i think this is more than just the car accident . i think you have a grudge against sonny , and i 'm guessing he does n't like you very much , either . sonny : what the hell you two doing in kate 's office ? carly : i needed kate 's signature on some paperwork . sonny : what about you ? john : i - i was just gon na have a little chat with kate . sonny : about ? john : well , you know , sports , weather , how the gun that was used to shoot out anthony zacchara 's tires was found in her office . ewen : what do you mean kate needs to be reminded of the past ? connie : i mean sonny corinthos , the guy that got her shot at her damn weddin ' . ewen : so , you 're here to protect her . connie : yeah . you know , i left him standing on that street corner the night we were supposed to run away together because i knew that he was gon na get me killed . but kate [ chuckles ] kate , she -- she does n't get it , you know ? she left her life behind in bensonhurst . but then years later , they meet up again , and she falls back into his arms . she believes all his b.s . about how he 's gon na protect her . she walks into the line of fire and -- and , you know , we 're lucky we survived that . ewen : is this the first time you were manifested , after kate was shot ? connie : no , because they broke up , and i thought we were in the clear . but then , you know , this fall , sonny falls off the rails and then kate swoops in to save him . because , you know , she just has to matter to that son of a bitch . ewen : you 're not giving kate much credit . connie : why should i give her credit ? he turns on his puppy - dog eyes , his little wounded - boy act , and she 's a goner . ewen : well , perhaps kate has a genuine emotional bond to sonny . connie : yes , and that is exactly what i 'm talking about , because she lost her street smarts , you know ? but i have mine . and i 'm -- and i 'm gon na use 'em . ewen : as you mentioned , it was -- was n't it you the one who dated sonny back in bensonhurst ? connie : we had some fun . ewen : so , sonny 's not fun anymore ? connie : [ chuckles ] are you kiddin ' me ? you get close to sonny , you might as well step in front of a freakin ' bus . you get -- you get threatened . you get shot . you get kidnapped . but that 's not happening anymore -- because i am gon na put an end to their romance once and for all . ewen : how exactly do you propose to do that ? anna : luke told me what happened with jake . i 'm so sorry . that 's -- tragic . elizabeth : it 's been a year . anna : i know . does it get any easier ? elizabeth : no . people ask me how i 'm doing , and i do n't know what to say . i mean , do i tell them that the grief is so intense that it 's physical ? sometimes it 's just better that they do n't know . i would never wish this pain on anyone . anna : i thought that you were very generous , you know , with luke at jake 's . i mean , at , um , what 's it called ? the floating rib . elizabeth : the floating rib . yeah . and before -- before jake died , i used to go there with my girlfriends after work . anna : mm - hmm . elizabeth : and i never really thought about the name . and then after my little boy was gone , every time i passed that damn sign -- [ voice breaking ] everything reminds me of him . every room in my house , every -- just the daycare at the hospital , everything . anna : yeah . elizabeth : [ sniffles ] anna : [ sniffles ] so -- how do you do it ? elizabeth : do what , exactly ? anna : well , everything , you know . get up in the morning , go to work . how do you live your life ? elizabeth : the first month , it was a blur . anna : yeah . elizabeth : people would come by , and , you know , they want to keep me company . they 'd bring me food . but then it just kind of drops off . anna : yeah . elizabeth : because for them , their mourning period is over . anna : yeah . elizabeth : and for me , i just try to put one foot in front of the other and wonder `` how am i gon na keep going ? `` anna : well , you did . you did . i mean , you are . you are . elizabeth : i had to . i have cameron and aiden . anna : yeah . that 's what i kind of feel like about emma , you know , that i have to sort of be there for her , just to be a presence now that , you know -- her mom 's gone . patrick : i know you 're gone . but it just -- [ sighs ] i just -- it does n't -- i just -- it still feels like you 're here . patrick : so , what do you think ? robin : what do i think ? [ clears throat ] well -- besides a man cave , which we 'll talk about later -- patrick : [ chuckles ] okay . robin : -- i just love it . i mean , the deck , the great room , the living room , the stream -- i love it so much . i love you , too . patrick : i love you , too . patrick : it 's like i can feel you . like i can still just -- reach out and touch you . robin : patrick . wait . this is n't right . [ sighs ] [ breathing heavily ] ow . no ! what 's going on ? connie : i got the perfect way to break up sonny and kate . and it is going right on schedule . ewen : so you 've already put a plan in motion . connie : yeah , and i 'll be safe and single in no time , you know ? speaking of safe and single , you know , you look like you got a nice body under these clothing . [ chuckles ] you work out ? ewen : we were discussing you and kate . connie : oh , come on , doc . i 'm sure there are many things you can do with kate besides talk . ewen : you 're changing the subject . connie : i 'm paying you a compliment , doc . you know , you 're not the most excitin ' man i ever met . just sayin ' . but you 're pretty hot . ewen : i 'd like to know more about your plan for kate . connie : oh . kate . ugh ! kate ! kate ! she 's so easy to get around , you know ? she leaves herself wide open . ewen : so , what 's the plan ? connie : the plan . the plan . oh , it 's gon na be so good . sonny 's gon na dump her so fast that she 's not even gon na know what hit her . ewen : it 's my understanding that sonny 's quite devoted to kate . connie : [ chuckles ] not after this , he wo n't be . ewen : by the way , um , whose missed call is this ? connie : hey . back off , all right ? i know what you 're doin ' . you 're gon na find out what happened . you 're gon na tell kate . and then the whole thing 's gon na be ruined , and that ai n't gon na happen , all right ? forget about it . ewen : okay . connie : okay . well , that was easy . ewen : well , there 's plenty of other things we can discuss . connie : yeah . yeah , there are . you know , one of them -- one of them , doc -- one of them is you . come on . doc , give me a break ! come on , now . you like to party ? ewen : first i 'd like to know how the gun got in kate 's office . connie : pbht . sonny : kate had nothing to do with th - that gun being found in this office , okay ? i 'm gon na tell you something right now , all right ? johnny is the one who planted it . carly : [ scoffs ] oh , my god . john : well , that 's a hell of a theory , sonny . you got any proof ? sonny : johnny -- he blames me for his sister 's -- i mean , his mother 's death . it gets confusing . listen . he hates his grandfather , right ? he caused the crash . you know why ? 'cause he wanted to frame me . john : well , i tell you , not that i 'd ever , you know , not trust your word , but i 'm still gon na need to talk to kate . sonny : well , kate 's not here , so that means she 's pretty lucky , does n't it ? carly : oh , i know where you can find kate . she 's with her new boyfriend . sonny : are you gon na -- what do you mean ? are you gon na say that johnny -- are you gon na bring that johnny stuff up again ? carly : oh , no . she 's with a new man . sonny : oh , a new man . oh . oh . ewen keenan . hmm . interesting . carly : your girlfriend sure gets around , sonny . sonny : yeah , well , you know what , mcbain ? you got to leave this office , okay ? and while you 're at it , leave port charles . john : or what ? sonny : i may not regret what happens to you , but i guarantee you will . carly : you have a grudge against sonny . feeling seems to be mutual . why do n't you fill me in ? ronnie : the pictures just disappeared ? dante : yeah . i.t . 's been all over the hard drive . they 've checked my phone . photos are gone . ronnie : you think it was padilla ? dante : apparently she was near the desk when it happened . ronnie : i always had this , like , feeling about padilla , like she 's got something in her head she 's not quite saying , you know ? dante : but she 's a victim , ronnie . i mean -- i mean , those photos were taken from the alley where she was attacked . lulu : yeah , but the photos were deleted . they did n't just disappear on their own . ronnie : see , now your wife 's thinking like a cop . means and opportunity . dante : all right . what about the motive ? why would padilla delete evidence ? ronnie : well , she 's clearly protecting someone . dante : yeah , we thought of that , too . but who ? ronnie : how about her deadbeat husband ? johnny : what can i do for you ? delores : i know i 've been back and forth with you about this , but you offered to help find my sister 's killer . johnny : yeah , i did . the offer 's still on the table , but you turned me down twice . what 's changed ? delores : so , what do i have to do in return ? anna : i wish robert was here . elizabeth : in the letter luke read at the service , he had mentioned that robert was on a mission ? anna : yes , i know . but really , elizabeth , what mission is more important than his daughter 's funeral ? elizabeth : well , i assume it was just too painful for him and that he found a reason not to be there . anna : yeah , but apparently it was important that he left when he did . but i agree with you . i just think that it was just too difficult for him to be there , you know . robert 's a man of action . he thinks that if he had n't been out there in the world saving other people , he could have been here to save robin . elizabeth : but you know patrick was right there . i mean , those doors closed automatically . there was no way he could have gotten in . anna : i know that intellectually . i do . but in my heart , i feel exactly the same way as robert . i was there at the hospital . why did n't i go and investigate ? maybe i could have gotten robin out . elizabeth : you just want to believe that you could have saved her . anna : yes , i do . our whole lives , robert and i , we 've done the impossible . you know , we are highly trained . we have been around the world on hundreds of missions . so , what good is all that experience , all that skill if you ca n't even save your own daughter ? elizabeth : anna , it was a random accident . anna : [ voice breaking ] i - i - i 'm really trying to accept that , but it would be so much easier for me if robin was just locked away in a room somewhere and i could break down the door and rescue her . robin : hello ? [ grunts ] hello ? can anyone hear me ? hello ? hello ? ! patrick : only thing left to do is say goodbye . [ sighs ] [ sobs ] robin : hello ? [ keys jingle ] robin : who are you ? you should n't be out of bed . you need to rest . robin : no . no , i do n't need to rest . i need to see my husband and my daughter . where 's patrick and emma ? patrick : i brought your ashes here so you 're always a part of this place . like you 're always a part of me and emma . [ sighs ] we 're gon na need you , robin . i 'm gon na need you , so you have to keep loving -- you have to keep loving me . i need you to help me go on . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] i will always love you -- wherever you are . [ sighs ] [ wind whistling ] anna : robert and i , we 've been estranged for so many years , and -- and it was really robin that -- that kind of got us to the point where we could even be in the same room with each other and -- and appreciate the fact that we were parents and , you know , grandparents . so , now , i just -- elizabeth : you know , people think that the loss of a child will always bring the parents back together . anna : mm - hmm . elizabeth : but so often , it just drives them further apart . anna : luke told me that lucky 's living in ireland now . elizabeth : yeah . he 's happier there . anna : yeah . elizabeth : as much as i fought it , i think the distance is a good thing , you know ? i tried really hard to hold on to him , but it just hurt us both . and now i - i -- i 'm starting to let go and open myself up to new possibilities . anna : oh , wow . is there anybody or -- elizabeth : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] anna : what ? huh ? elizabeth : at the hospital benefit , matt and this other guy both invited me , and it had been such a long time since i 'd been asked out on a date . then all of a sudden , i had two guys ask me at once . [ chuckles ] anna : well , that 's encouraging . elizabeth : kind of , except matt 's together with maxie and -- and the other guy 's , uh -- anna : what ? elizabeth : well , i - i think we might just be friends . anna : just be friends ? elizabeth : he asked me out on a date , and he did n't show up . anna : huh . well , that 's -- elizabeth : but still , there 's something -- anna : what ? you like him ? elizabeth : i find he 's crossing my mind when i least expect it . anna : that 's cool . what 's his name ? i mean , if you do n't mind me asking . elizabeth : ewen . ewen keenan . ewen : you 're aware of everything that goes on with kate . you must know that a gun was recovered from her office . connie : yeah , i been focused on , you know , keeping her alive , so i missed a few details . but why do n't you enlighten me ? ewen : the gun was used to shoot out anthony zacchara 's tires . connie : huh . ewen : he swerved into oncoming traffic , and two innocent people were killed . connie : well , hey , kate , pfft , she do n't do guns . she would n't own a gun , let alone fire one . but sonny -- now , sonny , he would kill anthony zacchara as soon as look at him . ewen : the police are leaning towards those lines -- connie : yeah . ewen : -- alleging that it was sonny who dropped the gun in kate 's office . connie : yeah , that 's another reason to stay away from him , you know , because when people get around sonny , they get hurt . ewen : the evidence appears to be circumstantial , though , meaning it 's possible that the gun belongs to someone else . connie : what are you talking about ? you sound just like kate . you 're twisting yourself in a pretzel to give him the benefit of the doubt . ewen : look , kate wants to see the good in sonny . connie : kate 's a fool , doc , all right ? she 'll be fine . he 'll break up with her . he 'll run back to his ex - wife in 10 minutes like he always does . it 's called poetic justice , all right ? they deserve each other . ewen : but , i mean , wo n't kate miss sonny ? connie : she 'll be fine , all right ? she 'll cry in a pillow for a few days . all i care about is that we will be safe from sonny . john : no , it 's nothing personal against corinthos . i just want to see justice served . carly : you expect me to believe that ? john : same way you expect me to believe you 're going through those file cabinets 'cause you 're the landlord . carly : i just had paperwork that i was trying to find . john : let me see that paper . that looks like your grocery list . carly : okay , if you want me to help you out , but you have n't told me a damn thing . john : i 'm hoping you 'll tell me 'cause i 'm a charming fellow . and you know what ? i saw your face . i saw your face when , uh -- when sonny was saying that johnny planted that gun . you do n't believe that . you do n't think that 's true . carly : i know he did n't plant that gun because johnny was with me . he was n't shooting out any tires , and he was n't planting a gun . john : hmm . sonny wo n't take your word for it ? carly : i 'm sure you know that that same night , sonny 's oldest son , dante falconeri , the cop , he was shot right here in the garage of this hotel . john : yeah , i met him . carly : sonny pushed him out of the way and took the bullet himself . john : we are talking about the same sonny , are n't we ? carly : then he showed up at johnny 's apartment to confront him . john : and johnny swore the truth and , uh , sonny took his word for it , right ? carly : all i 'm saying is , johnny did not plant that gun here . john : do you know who did ? carly : no . but whoever caused the accident deserves to pay . connie : are we done ? ewen : not quite . connie : oh . you 're really starting to bore me , sweetie . ewen : how did the gun get into kate 's office ? connie : do you realize that you 're repeatin ' yourself ? ewen : is there anything you can tell me about how the gun got into kate 's office ?

[ scene_break ] lucy : oh . wow , wow , wow , wow , wow ! this is just spectacular ! sabrina : i am literally amazed ! lucy : oh , carly , carly , carly , i -- i love this ! i love it . you are brilliant ! how beautiful to have a theater in the round . it 's just so sophisticated ! carly : thank you . lucy : [ laughs ] carly : hey . why are you so quiet ? do n't you like the new digs ? lucy : [ laughs ] okay . hey . felix , sabrina , are you two ready to get to work ? ha ! sabrina : ready ! lucy : okay , hey . a lot of people are gon na be here , so we 've got to start a lot of this prep work , you know ? carly : my staff can place the table and chairs . just tell them what you want . lucy : that is so , so very divine . thank you , thank you . okay , listen -- here 's what i think we need to do . let 's start , you guys , with the seating plan . we want to make sure that everybody has an optimal view of the stage , especially the little ones . put them up front , okay ? sabrina : we are on it . right , felix ? lucy : hey . oh , uh -- make sure that everybody that is seated in the back feels like they 're seated right up front , okay ? okay . carly : i am so glad that you like the renovations . lucy : like it ? i love it . i am -- i 'm ecstatic . thank you , thank you . oh , i am just -- i ca n't thank you enough . [ both laugh ] carly : i 'm glad it 's worked out . lucy : it has . and listen -- this is gon na be the best nurses ' ball yet . [ scene_break ] sabrina : down to the wire , huh ? felix : yep . sabrina : you need a hand ? felix : i got it . sabrina : you know , it 'll go a lot faster if i help you out . felix : i think you 've helped enough . sabrina : felix , what 's going on with you ? you 've been giving me the cold shoulder ever since last night . wait . this is n't about milo , is it ? felix : damn right it 's about milo ! [ scene_break ] patrick : thank you . milo : dr. drake ? milo giambetti , remember ? patrick : yeah , i remember . if you 're looking for sabrina , she 's not here right now . milo : actually , i 'm here to see you . [ scene_break ] lucy : oh ! hey , hey , hey ! listen , your idea with this whole theater in the round is so incredible , but i think i 'm gon na have to rearrange some entrances for the talent -- carly : oh . can you hold that thought ? lucy : yeah , check . carly : hi ! what do you think ? michael : this is not too shabby , actually . carly : oh ! to what do i owe this surprise ? michael : actually , i 'm here to see lucy . she , uh , drafted me into performing at the nurses ' ball . carly : oh . i did n't know that . what are you gon na do ? michael : no idea . she says she had an inspiration . you think it 's too late for me to back out ? carly : no . hey , it 's a good cause . proud of you for stepping up , no matter what lucy asks you to do . [ scene_break ] sam : ready , set , go . [ cheers and applause ] sam : nice ! shawn : okay . what is all this for ? tj : dude , you saved the commissioner 's life last night . sam : yeah , i hate to break it to you , but you are a hero . shawn : well , i do n't feel like a hero . molly : well , of course , you do n't . real heroes never feel like they did anything special . that 's why it falls to other people to acknowledge it . sam : yeah . shawn : if i spotted this sniper earlier , maybe i could have stopped nikolas from getting hit . alexis : the guy was a professional assassin . he 's good at hiding and shooting people . that 's what he does . shawn : look , sonny asked me to keep an eye on dante 's loft , and i should have been more -- alexis : enh - enh ! no , no . enough . nikolas is alive because of you . if you did n't chase off the shooter , he would have finished the job . molly : my mom 's right , shawn . tj : and i think by now you know better than to disagree with any of these davis women . sam : you are learning . i like it . alexis : excellent ! you 're a smart guy . look around here . look around here . this house is filled with people who want to show you that you mean something to them -- you mean a lot to them . so you may not think you 're a hero , but we do . you 're our hero . shawn : thank you . [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] anna : so , the shooter has ties to helena cassadine , but he has n't been on her payroll since -- dante : so what ? she rehired him . who else would give her this fake ice princess thing ? anna : i know . she 's our prime suspect . dante : great . let 's go get her . anna : no . nobody knows where she 's been . there 's no tracking for her for the last few months . dante : that 's great . anna : okay , you know , we just -- you need to focus , dante . you need to focus . we got to re - examine everything that happened . we 're gon na go right back to the beginning . i 'll get an officer in here to man the phones . you have a shower , get cleaned up . meet me over at the haunted star , okay ? [ scene_break ] laura : maybe luke went down to the station , you know , checking in with anna and dante . bobbie : or maybe he stopped by lulu 's . laura : i doubt it . not with scotty there . he 's probably working his sources , you know ? trying to get some information . bobbie : what about you ? how are you holding up ? laura : i 'm waiting for word on all three of my children . bobbie : has something happened to lucky ? laura : no . we just tried to call him , and we have n't heard anything back yet . bobbie : well , that 's not unusual , is it ? laura : mm , no , not really . you 're right . i mean , he has been living on the road for a few years now , so -- i guess even if he got my messages , he might not be able to call me right back . bobbie : so do n't assume it 's anything bad . i mean , lucky can take care of himself . he has a lot of experience . laura : thank you for reminding me of that . and thank you for my coffee . and most of all , thank you for being here . i do n't know what i 'd do without you ? bobbie : hey , we 're family . and we always will be . and you know , laura , there 's someone else who would like to be here for you . scotty . [ scene_break ] lucy : i -- i ca n't believe this . nikolas was shot ? and now with lulu missing , poor laura . she must be a total wreck . scott : well , she spent the night at the hospital , and i held down the fort at lulu 's . lucy : well , what about lulu ? do the police have any leads at all , even about her ? scott : how should i know ? laura only confides in her ex - husband . [ scene_break ] luke : doctors say you 're gon na be out for a while . unfortunately , `` a while `` is n't gon na cut it for lulu . [ scene_break ] bobbie : scott and i had a long talk last night . he really wants to support you . laura : he has done nothing but support me for the past few years . he 's been such a good friend . [ monitors beeping loudly ] bobbie : what 's that ? [ loud beeping continues ] luke : come on . wake up , nik . you 're my best hope to find lulu . wake up . laura : what are you doing ? [ scene_break ] felix : i ca n't believe you went out with magic milo when you know i 'm into him . sabrina : but milo does n't even play on your team . felix : so ? you 're my friend . you 're supposed to be on my team . sabrina : okay , felix , milo told me that you told him i was free . was he lying ? felix : of course not . you can tell that magic milo is an extremely honest person . sabrina : okay . so you basically gave him permission to ask me out . what was i supposed to do ? say no for you ? felix : that 's exactly what you were supposed to do . there 's a code . friends do n't date friends ' exes , currents , or crushes . sabrina : the only reason i let milo take me to the graduation party was to try and get over patrick . [ scene_break ] milo : i wanted to talk to you about sabrina . patrick : okay . milo : we had a really nice time at the graduation party . patrick : good for you . milo : thing is , when i asked sabrina out at the graduation , i think i unintentionally interrupted a conversation you were having -- patrick : yes , i remember , milo . milo : i had a really nice time . sabrina seems like a great girl -- smart and interesting and easy to talk to . she 's not a groper . you 'd be surprised how many women are . patrick : i 'm sure i would be . milo : the point is , i would really like to see sabrina again . patrick : okay . well , uh -- i do n't think you need my permission to do that . milo : actually , i 'm thinking maybe i do . [ scene_break ] michael : you sure you 're okay ? carly : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . you know , you do n't have to check in on me . michael : look , there 's been a lot of tension between us because of aj , and without triggering another huge fight , i want you to know you are my mom , and i love you , and you can count on me . carly : i know i can . i count on you every day . [ scene_break ] scott : you know , ever since our wedding did n't happen , laura 's keeping me at arm 's length . lucy : well , she does have an awful lot on her mind right now , pal . scott : yeah , but instead of leaning on me and letting me help , she 's got me running around town like some kind of a monkey . i was over manning the phones at lulu 's . lucy : come on . that 's not an unreasonable request . i mean , what if the kidnapper were to call with some ransom demand ? scott : well , any of the 25 cops could have handled that call . lucy : oh , brother . none of the 25 cops happen to be family . scott : well , neither am i . not yet . [ sighs ] laura does n't want me at the hospital 'cause she 's got to focus on nikolas . she ca n't be breaking up fistfights with luke and me , right ? lucy : right . that makes a lot of sense . scott : i know . but i ca n't just stand around here like some glorified telephone operator . i need a job . i need something to do . what about this nurses ' ball ? just let me help . i 'm available . ow ! what 's the matter with you ? ! have you lost your mind ? lucy : shh ! you have the most brilliantly diabolical mind i know , but when it comes to women , you have the i.q . of -- of a loofa . okay ? so i 'm gon na speak very slowly . i 'm gon na ask you a question . read my lips . look -- focus , focus , focus . are you in the loofa mode ? focus ! okay . do you love laura ? scott : yes , i do . lucy : okay . then stop your pouting and get over to that hospital . scott : but she does n't want me at the hospital . lucy : hey , luke is not nikolas 's father , and he 's there . scott : do n't remind me . lucy : okay . listen to me . she 's your fiancée , right ? and you should be standing there by her side . and if luke does n't like it , that 's his problem . [ scene_break ] bobbie : what did you give him ? adrenalin ? luke : he 's got information about where lulu is . he 's the only person who knows . i have to wake him up . you understand ? laura : go to hell ! [ scene_break ] dante : so , why did you want to meet here ? anna : i got a message from the harbormaster , and i just needed to check his information . i 'm not sure how to tell you this , but -- the haunted star is gone . [ scene_break ] sam : so , nikolas is stable . alexis : at the moment . the surgeon said that he was able to remove the bullet , but they do n't expect him to regain consciousness for a while . sam : and luke thinks that helena 's responsible ? alexis : luke thinks helena 's responsible for everything . typically , she is . i just do n't see , in this instance , why she would want to kidnap lulu or certainly why she would want to have nikolas shot . sam : okay . but , mom , are we in any danger ? do i have to worry about daniel ? alexis : now , look , helena barely considers me a cassadine . i do n't think she 'll be interested in any of us , especially danny . molly : good . alexis : now , listen -- i want to tell you , with everything that 's been going on with shawn and with nikolas -- i have n't had time yet to work on rafe 's case . molly : um -- i understand . there 's a lot going on . i 'm gon na go check on danny . alexis : all right . well , what about you ? sam : me ? alexis : are you recovered from this whole nightmare with stephen clay ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : wait , felix . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , i missed the first couple of nurses ' balls , but i was at the one where robin told everyone that she was h.i.v.-positive . she was giving a speech and telling everyone about stone , who had died the year before . and she started to cry . jason came in and he picked her up , and he carried her out . he 'd be glad that we were honoring robin , you know ? michael : not sure how he 'd feel about me performing . carly : [ laughing ] oh , he would be proud that you 're making the sacrifice . he would . he would be speechless with admiration . jason , he was n't afraid of bullets or knives , but -- he was terrified of parties and social occasions . michael : yeah , i 'm not too crazy about them , either . lucy 's gon na make me do something cringe - worthy , is n't she ? carly : just keep telling yourself it 's for a noble cause . [ scene_break ] scott : you know what ? you 're right . lucy : duh ! of course , i 'm right . i 'm lucy coe . scott : i 'm gon na go to the hospital , i 'm gon na see laura . and as far as spencer 's concerned , he can drop dead . after all these years , you 're still my best friend . lucy : i am your only friend . now get out of here . shoo ! shoo ! scott : is there a knot ? lucy : get some ice at the hospital . go . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] michael : it 's dante . carly : oh , god . michael : hey . any word on lulu ? dante : no , not yet . look , michael , tell me something -- the haunted star -- any reason why it would n't be parked at its usual berth yesterday or today ? michael : no . as far as i know , the haunted star has been closed since lulu disappeared . dante : all right . thanks . i have to call you back . [ scene_break ] anna : dante , let 's go . come on . [ scene_break ] carly : what was that about ? michael : i wish i knew . [ scene_break ] sam : caleb -- he was n't evil , mom . he loved his wife so much that he would do just about anything . i mean , he just did n't accept her death . i mean , all the twisted things he did , he did because he wanted her back . [ scene_break ] tj : all right , all right . for you , the official beverage of heroes in this house . shawn : it 's diet . tj : come on , man . women live here . shawn : okay . i do n't suppose you have anything stronger . tj : nope . no can do . antibiotics . molly gave me strict orders to stick to only soft drinks , man . shawn : what makes either of you think i want a hard drink ? it 's not even noon . i just want coffee . tj : oh ! oh , okay . i got you , i got you . decaf coming right up . shawn : decaf ? really ? tj : just messing with you . [ both laugh ] tj : look , um -- before you got all caffeinated , uh -- i got to tell you -- i ca n't stop thinking about what could 've happened . i mean , i know you 're a hero and all , but , uh -- shawn : [ chuckles ] tj : you just got to be careful , man . all right ? shawn : i 'll take care of myself . tj : okay . shawn : i promise . tj : yeah , you see , but that 's not what i meant . look , i know we did n't start off on the right foot . i mean , i was mad at you , i was mad about my dad , but -- shawn : yeah , i remember . tj : when i found out you got shot , man -- the only time i probably felt worse was when i -- when i found out my dad died . i guess what i 'm trying to say is , uh -- you 're the closest thing i got to a father now , shawn . yeah . i ca n't afford to lose another one . [ scene_break ] bobbie : well , thank god the adrenalin was still in the iv , so not much of it actually made it into nikolas 's blood stream . laura : how could you ? luke : the sniper offed himself . nikolas is the only lead we have . laura : so you thought it was okay to risk my son 's life so that you could just pump him for information about our daughter ? luke : i think he would be willing to take the risk , but the truth is , that does n't matter . i would 've done it anyway . laura : right . because to you , he 's expendable . right ? my bastard son with stavros , right ? ! luke : that 's not the point ! laura : then what is ? ! luke : you think he would n't take the risk for lulu ? ! laura : he did n't have a choice , did he ? because you made the choice for him ! he may not be your son , but he is my child and every bit as much as lulu or lucky is , and i will not let you trade the life of one of my children for the other ! do you get it ? ! luke : yeah , i got it . let 's get out of here . laura : you get out of here ! bobbie : out . come on . laura : get out , luke ! get out ! scott : what about me ? laura : scotty . [ scene_break ] sabrina : look , if you want to blame anybody for me going out with milo , you can blame yourself . felix : oh ! so this is my fault . sabrina : yes ! you and elizabeth , day in and day out , the two of you kept pushing me -- `` tell patrick how you feel . maybe he returns your feelings . you never know unless you say something . `` well , i did , and he does n't . i poured my heart out to patrick , and he said he was needed in surgery . felix : so that 's why you took my milo , to get back at me ? sabrina : what ? no ! i told you , the only reason i went out with milo was because you and elizabeth wanted me to stop moping and meet someone new . felix : you could n't have met someone else new , someone that i had n't been pining for nonstop ? sabrina : look , i 'm not gon na apologize for liking milo , okay ? he 's not just a hot body stuffed into a suit . he 's kind and he 's considerate , and he 's really nice . felix : my point exactly . milo 's the whole package -- great muscles , gentle soul . you know he was the one person i 'd been going after , and you had to date him anyway ! how would you like it if i went after dr. drake ? sabrina : oh , my god . that 's not even remotely the same thing . felix : why not ? sabrina : because you -- you can never have patrick ! felix : well , apparently , neither can you . [ scene_break ] milo : i realize you and sabrina are close . patrick : sabrina and i work together , and she babysits my daughter , and , yes , they have bonded . milo : well , it 's more than that . the way i hear it , sabrina has significant feelings for you , but you do n't feel the same way . patrick : who said i do n't feel the same way ? [ scene_break ] anna : okay . oh , god . thanks for the information . all right . dante : we got a better chance of seeing the haunted star from the air . anna : we 're too late . dante : what are you talking about ? anna : a man called quint just called the station . he runs a charter boat service , and he said he saw the haunted star leave the harbor last night . dante : when ? what time ? anna : i do n't know . to me , it sounds like it was right after nikolas was shot . dante : but that means they 're in international waters by now . anna : yeah . i 'm sure that was their intention . okay . dante : who you calling ? anna : people that are gon na find the boat . hey . dante : let 's go . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i can not believe you just threw it in my face that i 'll never be with patrick . felix : truth hurts , does n't it ? [ scene_break ] michael : um , look , you never said exactly what you expect me to do at the ball . lucy : i know , i know , but i promise you , you 're gon na love it . it 's very big , very important . in fact , it is the linchpin of the entire evening . michael : i 'm not sure that 's a great idea , considering i ca n't sing or dance . lucy : that 's okay . i think we can all agree -- if anybody knows nurses ' balls , i know nurses ' balls . and what i know is that anytime you want a lot of applause , you want a big donation , you put an attractive man up on that stage . now , we do have to figure out , what is the best way to display your assets . michael : look , i really do want to help and everything . i just -- i 'm -- lucy : you are helping . i promise you . i so appreciate it . you are . you have got to be so darn proud of him . carly : i am . uh , i am . i 'm very proud . but just so we 're clear , i wholeheartedly believe in the cause , and i know that you 're coming from such a good place with really good intentions , but if you put my son in a stupid act and make him feel foolish , i will make you regret it . lucy : well , come on . in the whole history of the nurses ' ball , no one has ever felt stupid or foolish . well , maybe those that just lack a certain sort of vision , maybe . carly : just so we understand each other . okay ? we 're gon na go now . we 're gon na go see my mom . you ready ? lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa ! you ca n't go to seattle now ! carly : we 're going to the hospital . she 's waiting on word about nikolas . lucy : b - bobbie 's in town ? oh . yay . okay . ta . carly : you ready to get out of here ? felix : ms. jacks ? can i have a moment of your time right now ? carly : can i meet you there ? michael : you sure ? carly : yeah . thanks . michael : all right . carly : what is going on with you today ? felix : other than my best friend stabbing me in the back ? [ scene_break ] lucy : hey , lots of people are gon na be arriving within a few hours to do all that rehearsal business , so we 're gon na be ready , right ? we 're ready ? sabrina ? sabrina : i heard you ! lucy : wow . nurse santiago . what on earth is going on with you ? [ scene_break ] milo : who told me that you did n't have feelings for sabrina ? patrick : figuratively . milo : oh . i think sabrina was talking that way , too -- you know , figuratively -- when she told me that you do n't return her feelings and you 've never thought about her that way . patrick : she said that ? milo : sure did . and it 's not that i doubt it . sabrina 's a very truthful person . funny and smart and , you know -- i do n't know . i think i can -- i think i can make her happy , but the thing is , relationship - wise , i 'm a little gun shy . patrick : could n't tell . milo : well , it just seems i always go for the women who are already taken . i just want to make sure sabrina 's free , like `` free `` free , if you know what i mean . that way , i do n't have to put myself through that thing again where you love somebody but they do n't love you back . not that i 'm even in love with sabrina . heck , i just met her . but you get the idea . patrick : unrequited love . milo : that 's it . anyway , yeah . i like sabrina . she 's smart and pretty and i think i can really make her happy . but if you got dibs , so to speak , on sabrina , just say the word , and i 'll back off . [ scene_break ] laura : luke tried to wake nikolas by injecting his iv bag with adrenalin . he claims that he 's desperate to find lulu . i am , too , but i 'm not gon na let him kill my son in the process . scott : well , spencer 's no good . laura : i do n't even want to hear his name , okay ? i need to stay positive for nikolas , for lulu . is there some news ? is that why you 're here ? scott : no . no , i 'm sorry . nobody called , but there are professionals there to handle the calls if they do . laura : okay . scott : i know you told me to stay away , and i did , but -- this morning , laura , i really wanted to see you . if you want me to go , i will . laura : no . i do n't want you to go . [ scene_break ] luke : i do n't know what to do . helena 's trail has gone cold , and i just need to find lulu . bobbie : but lulu would n't want you hurting nikolas for her sake . luke : well , we do n't know that that would have hurt him . we did n't get a chance to find out . i just want to find my daughter ! bobbie : okay . well , try something else . luke : like what ? bobbie : well , i do n't know , luke . i 'm sure you 'll figure it out . you always do . dante : luke , we think we know where lulu is . luke : where is my daughter ? anna : someone broke in to the haunted star last night and they sailed it out of port . we think lulu 's on board . the wsb surveillance chatter corroborates that . luke : where 's the ship ? anna : i spoke to frisco . he had the wsb use their satellite imagery to locate the ship . it 's in the atlantic . luke : where exactly , anna ? i need compass points . do n't even try to keep me out of this . anna : well , it 's in international waters , so obviously , it 's out of my jurisdiction . luke : what are you saying , slim ? anna : what i 'm saying is that this is your show now , luke . all right ? the wsb is gon na provide you with transportation and give you temporary credentials . luke : oh , great . i 'll wave this in front of helena and say , uh -- `` why did you take my daughter ? `` anna : you have no idea how the proper documentation can help you -- both of you . dante : understood . luke : thanks . anna : yeah . so , as soon as we have the coordinates pinned down , then you 'll get transportation out to the haunted star . dante : what do you say , luke ? go find our girl . luke : let 's do it . thank you . i 'm going to -- laura : not a word out of you . scotty is here with me , and he is staying with me . luke : well , ai n't that sweet . have a good time . i 'm off to find my daughter ! [ scene_break ] sam : i did n't hate him . and when he died , i felt like he could finally be with his wife . maybe they would have some peace together . molly : so , tell us everything . tj : oh , yeah . we want details . like , how did you spot the sniper , and how did you know the guy was -- shawn : okay , okay , okay . sam : [ chuckles ] poor guy . he survives getting shot , and now he 's in a feeding frenzy with these two . alexis : he is being a real trooper , because , believe me -- he would rather pass out today than be the guest of honor . sam : oh , really ? well , i think i can change that . [ scene_break ] felix : sabrina knew how i felt , but did that stop her from going out with milo ? no . it did not . and she just does n't care , carly . there 's a friendship code , and she just does n't care . carly : okay . do you remember the first time we met ? i was hung over , and i was wallowing in self - pity , and you were n't gon na have it , so you sat me down and you told me what 's what ? felix : yes , i did . carly : mind if i return the favor ? felix : uh - oh . carly : `` uh - oh `` is right .

[ scene_break ] carly : you 're a great catch . there 's no two ways about it . you 're cute , you 're funny , you 're smart , you 're a great guy . felix : but ? carly : but milo 's not gay . he 's not gay , is he ? felix : maybe he just has n't figured it out yet . carly : if he does n't like guys , it 's not going to happen . felix : still , that does n't make it okay for sabrina . carly : oh , sabrina did n't have your back , so now you 're not gon na have her back ? felix : i always have sabrina 's back . carly : because she means the world to you , right ? if sabrina can be happy with milo , why would n't you be happy for her ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : and milo 's not even gay , so why would -- lucy : okay , stop ! i do not have any time to be nurturing here , so listen . listen good , okay ? i have spent my entire life caught between lovers and friends -- all the time -- and here 's the thing -- lovers go , so unless the straight guy is extremely special and the love of your life , he will never , ever compare to your best friend . sabrina : yeah , but felix is the one who was wrong . lucy : okay . well , then you have a choice , do n't you ? you can be right or you can hang on to your best friend . um , carly , can we just chat over here ? carly : yeah . lucy : okay .

[ scene_break ] sam : you and sonny have broken up before . carly : yeah , i know , and we always find our way back to each other , right ? sam : yeah . carly : but maybe not this time . maybe morgan 's death and how we reacted to each other , maybe we just ca n't find our way back from that , you know ? [ scout cooing on baby monitor ] [ both sigh ] carly : morgan was such a good sleeper . [ sighs ] my mom thinks that sonny and i might 've reached our tipping point , you know ? [ sniffles ] maybe that 's just wishful thinking on her part because she , you know , likes sonny , but she does n't really like him with me . sam : i do n't blame her . i mean , he 's done a lot to hurt you . carly : i 've done a lot to hurt him . i mean , i 'm almost as dysfunctional as he is -- almost .

[ sighs ] can i tell you something i do n't think i 've ever -- i have ever said this to you before ? i have admired you guys for years . carly , your love is so strong . so before you think to yourself that this is over and that you 're gon na end your marriage , can you please just ask yourself a question ? are you sure you and sonny do n't have it in you to grow just a little bit more ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : who does he think he is coming in here and implying that i 'm an irresponsible mother ? franco : okay . whoa . hey . hey . hey . hey . take it easy , all right ? look , we knew we were gon na get pushback from jason whether he found out about us today or a week from today . a - and you know what ? look at the bright side , okay ? the only two people that have come to blows in this room today are you and that pillow . and it could 've been me and jason , and that , to me , represents real progress . elizabeth : since when did you become the reasonable one ? franco : dude , beauty and brains . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] humor aside , today was disastrous . franco : oh , come on . i think we 're actually -- we 're ahead of the curve here . elizabeth : were you not just in the room ? jason is on the verge of threatening war . franco : yeah , exactly -- he was on the verge , but he pulled back because he loves jake way more than he hates me . jason saw that picture , right ? and he can try and hide it , but he knows something 's wrong , and that 's what 's important here . elizabeth : that is wildly optimistic of you . franco : okay , you know what ? jason is never gon na be behind you and me being together . he 's never gon na be a cheerleader for us . and so what ? come on . we do n't need him . elizabeth : for jake 's sake , i kind of need jason on board .

[ scene_break ] monica : now , we have all agreed that the only solution to this mess that you have created is to have kristina stay in the house . but that does not mean that you are going to isolate ned from seeing his daughter . if need be , i 'm going to move ned in this house and boot the rest of you out on your sorry collective butts . edward : monica -- monica : do n't `` but `` me . ned : i appreciate that . alice : dr. lewis . edward : oh , hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . now , look , if you have come here to pave the way for a visit by that lunatic patient of yours , it 's not going to happen . cameron : may i be allowed to speak for myself ? ned , i need a word with you in private . ned : of course . can you give us a minute , please ? it 's the least you can do since i no longer have use of my own home anymore . edward : all right . ned : thank you . what happened to alexis ? is she all right ? cameron : i was hoping you could tell me . she 's desperate for even minimal contact with kristina . she said she was going to the child 's father for help . ned : no . no , no , no . she ca n't do this . she 's going to make everything worse . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] max : alexis davis . she says it 's important . carly : no , no , no . alexis , this is not a good time . alexis : i apologize profusely for interrupting . can we have a moment alone , please ? sonny : what makes -- what makes you think i 'm interested in anything you have to say , alexis ? you barge in here , right , past my guard . you dismiss the mother of my children . alexis : `` children `` ? sonny : yeah . carly 's pregnant . she 's having my baby . alexis : congratulations , carly . i can only imagine what this means to you . actually , it 's the reason why i 'm here . we need to discuss kristina . [ scene_break ] ric : sorry about that . had to smooth things over with the staff . i 'm all yours now . elizabeth : it 's okay . that was the deal . you work , i wait . ric : well , looks like it 's given you time to think . look , if you have something to say , i wish you 'd spit it out . elizabeth : all right . but remember , you asked . ric : okay . fair enough . elizabeth : everything i said tonight is true . jason has been beyond devoted to sonny . he 's proven himself over and over again . i 'm sure he would still take a bullet for sonny , even now . and what does he get for his trouble ? kicked to the curb . if that 's how sonny treats his best friend in the whole world , you think about how he 's going to treat you . ric : it 's business , okay ? all alliances are only as good as they are mutually beneficial to the parties concerned . jason made the mistake of thinking that friendship counted for more than that . i do n't make those mistakes . elizabeth : hmm . you may believe that , but i do n't know . i do n't . for some reason , sonny is important to you . if he were just another ordinary prospective employer , you would have walked away a long time ago , saved yourself a lot of hard work and humiliation . but i 'm starting to know you , ric . that 's the risk you took by letting me get close to you . and i can tell that sonny means more than just business for you . which means you 're leaving yourself open to getting hurt , just like jason . [ scene_break ] courtney : i do n't get my brother , and i hope i never do . he is acting like a complete maniac right now . okay , fine , so -- so we fell in love and dared to defy him . he can be mad about that , but that does n't give him the right to attack you in public and threaten you . sonny would n't really hurt you , would he , jason ? jason : he 's just got a lot going on right now , that 's all . courtney : amazing . even after all the horrible things he said to you , you 're still sympathetic . jason : i just know how sonny works . he holds himself responsible for things -- not things that just happened in the past but stuff that 's going on right now . courtney : well , could you please explain it to me ? because i would really like to understand . jason : carly 's pregnant . and that 's -- you know what ? that 's a good thing , but it also brings up the bad . both of sonny 's children died before they were born , and he 's very afraid that that 's going to happen again , but he ca n't show it because carly 's scared , too . and he wants to be strong for her . he 's trying . and the business -- i mean -- it 's under siege . we got five families , who -- faith rosco , who 's a psycho , running around town , paying people to take shots at everyone . you got sonny , who fired me . and the business is just going to suffer even more . but you know what ? sonny got -- got some tension out on me tonight . and you know what ? that 's good because he should have . courtney : okay , sympathizing , understanding -- that 's one thing , but you ca n't possibly be condoning sonny 's behavior . jason : i do n't know . courtney -- maybe i am . maybe i deserve this . sonny 's close to drowning , and i 'm not helping him . i 'm making it worse . [ scene_break ] sonny : i -- i assume that when you say `` kristina , `` you mean your daughter , not the sister you accuse me of killing ? alexis : yes . sonny : how does it feel to be wrong , alexis ? i did n't kill kristina . alcazar did . and then you killed him . an eye for an eye . nice touch . especially the insanity plea . but you know what ? i wish you 'd have copped to it sooner . that way jason and brenda did n't have to spend that time in the courts , you know what i mean ? that 's just my opinion . you were not insane ! you 're a smart lawyer , and you found a defense that allows you to get away with murder , and it worked . you do n't have to serve any time . alexis : you do n't think i 'm being punished ? they 're taking away my daughter . sonny : you mean the daughter you tried to insist was mine ? alexis : i wanted to -- sonny : i do n't want to hear it . i do n't want to hear your excuses . i do believe that you thought kristina was mine till the d.n.a . tests came . you should -- you should thank your lucky stars . you should get on your knees and thank god that i 'm not the father of that child . i do n't want to say anything more . i 'm done , okay ? so can you please say what you 've got to say and then leave ? alexis : the quartermaines have custody of my daughter , and i know that you have leverage with them -- sonny : that i 'd give to you ? alexis : i was hoping that you would -- sonny : the only leverage i have with the quartermaines is michael , and i would never exchange my child for yours . alexis : i would -- sonny : what am i supposed to do ? what am i supposed to do ? just forget that you looked down on me ? you accused me of having blood on my hands ? am i just supposed to forget that ? now your hands are n't clean , are they ? let me tell you something -- you should be grateful . you should be grateful that you have a baby that is alive and waiting for you . alexis : god . carly : you okay ? sonny : yeah . ahem . carly : how did you know that alexis was faking the alternate personality ? sonny : it was in her eyes . you did n't see it ? carly : no . sonny : alexis is afraid of losing her child , but she 's not afraid of losing herself . she does n't fight every minute not to slide into this bottomless pit where the pain -- she does n't -- she does n't -- she does n't know what that 's about . i 'd have recognized it because i do know . i know . carly : i know . [ scene_break ] ned : alexis -- did you tell sonny ? alexis : no . ned : thank god . alexis : i need to go . ned : no . no , no , you have to listen to me , okay ? you have to start thinking clearly from here on out . otherwise , we are both going to lose kristina forever . alexis : your family 's going to file for permanent custody ? ned : i 'm sure they 'll try , but they wo n't win as long as you complete the court - ordered therapy . alexis : where have i heard that before ? ned : from cameron , and he 's absolutely right . now , listen -- you need to get better , okay ? and you ca n't skip any steps . what were you thinking ? what were you hoping sonny would do if you told him the truth ? you know that he was almost murdered yet again . there are people in the mob who want to kill him . and we ca n't stop that . that 's just part of his life , and that 's exactly the life that we 're trying to keep kristina from , remember ? alexis : which was precisely my objection with you and faith . ned : forget about faith , okay ? that 's over . she set me up . alexis : what ? ned : i do n't know how long she 's been working with grandfather , but i know she is . alexis : what are you talking about ? ned : faith lured me down to the docks , where she started groping me , and i could n't stop her . that 's when scott showed up with the cop . alexis : i 've heard all that , ned . what ? ned : you do n't know the whole story . while i was down at the docks , somehow grandfather got rid of the nanny , took kristina up to the main house , while junior -- the family arsonist -- set the fire . it was all a setup . kristina was never in any danger . it was all a classic edward quartermaine manipulation to control his next heir . alexis : that man will never get custody -- ned : no , no , no , no . you 're going to leave him to me . i have been battling my grandfather for years . i know how to win this fight . but i need your help . and this is what i need you to do -- i need you to stop tearing around , trying to get to kristina . you just have to find a way to accept the fact that you are temporarily separated from her . alexis : that is easy for you to say , ned . i 've been cut out of my daughter 's life for six months . you get to see her anytime that you want . you told me that you would take care of her , and you let her slip through your fingers . ned : i told you , i was set up . but together , we are going to get her back because you have to -- alexis : ned , there is n't anybody else that i can trust , apparently . i 'll get her back on my own .

[ scene_break ] ric : look , you 're right , okay ? sonny does mean something to me , but it 's not as deep as what you 're thinking . he 's a fascinating case study to me , that 's all . i stand to learn a lot from him about success , as well as downfall . elizabeth : what do you mean ? ric : look , sonny 's smart . he 's ruthless . he 's clearly addicted to power . i mean , look at where he came from . he did n't even finish high school , and he was able to teach himself to act and to talk and to dress like an intelligent human being . but sonny 's a street fighter . he proved that tonight . i mean , he 's got a temper and a lot of pride , and that is what makes him his own worst enemy . sonny made a mistake by firing jason . he 'll never admit that , and he 'll never take jason back , which leaves what i need -- an opening . look , i do n't plan on pledging my undying loyalty to sonny , but i can give him expert legal advice and help him run his businesses . and , yes , i can become somebody that sonny counts on . elizabeth : and then what ? ric : well , and then what ? then i make a lot of money , okay ? and i use sonny 's power where it suits me . look , he takes all the risk and i get all the gain . works out great . elizabeth : you 're planning on using sonny corinthos ? ric : look , sonny may be smart , but i 'll let you in on a little secret -- i 'm smarter .

john : michael was a wonderful little boy . he was mischievous , bright , full of promise . he should have lived a long and productive life . instead , he died a violent death , terrified , far from home , taken from his family , and ultimately thrown out like garbage by a professional killer . but michael died trying to save his little brother and sister , and because of his bravery , morgan and kristina are here with us today . so we dedicate this park to their brave big brother , michael corinthos iii , a little boy who wanted nothing more than to come home . he never will . but i vow that i will honor michael 's memory by destroying crime in port charles .

[ scene_break ] officer : ms. matthews ? i need to ask a few follow - up questions regarding the shooting .

[ scene_break ] courtney : i intended to go to the playground dedication after i went to lunch with jax , but when we got to the hotel , we found out that the restaurant was booked for a private party . jax owns the metro court , so we sat down anyway , and rachel joined us shortly after that . officer : what about jason morgan ? had you arranged to meet him there ? courtney : yes . jax : you never mentioned that . courtney : i know , and i feel really silly about it , jax . it 's just i 've been a little jealous lately because you 've been paying so much attention to rachel . so i asked jason to come by the restaurant and pick me up for the ceremony . it was a petty and juvenile move , and i deeply regret it . but the fact remains jason was at the restaurant to meet me . [ scene_break ] carly : i can not tell you how sick i am of having the same argument with you . why ca n't you ever hear me ? sonny and i were married for a very long time . it may not have been easy , but there was a lot of love and it was real . is any of this getting through to you ? no , i guess not . okay , you want to make sonny your perpetual target ? fine , i guess i ca n't do anything to stop you . but do n't you think for one second that i 'm going to thank you or that i believe you 're doing it in my name , because you 're not . you 're not trying to protect me , dad . this is all about you and your professional interests . john : you could n't be more wrong , carly . i 'm just trying to save my daughter 's life and the life of my remaining grandson , and i am not going to stop until i 've accomplished that goal . now , if you hate me for that , i 'm genuinely sorry about it . so be it . sonny : you okay ? carly : i hope you know what you 're doing . sonny : i do . carly : really ? sonny : yeah . carly : then what the hell is going on right now ? why did jason run off ? why did courtney nearly get shot and killed ? if whatever you 're supposed to be doing right now is supposed to make our family safer , you tell me , why are the people that i love more at risk than ever ? sonny : hey , hey [ scene_break ] alexis : you knew that sonny was going to wage war on a mob rival today . you knew that they might retaliate . you knew that he was a sitting duck . and yet you brought my daughter here anyway . ric : it was a public ceremony , alexis , all right ? there were three city council members that were present . kristina was n't in any danger . alexis : who do you think you 're talking to ? her father , your brother , is a target , as is anyone and everyone around him . she could 've been sitting on his lap today and been shot . and there was nothing he could do about it . and you did n't care . all you cared about was scoring a point with your brother . ric : i resent that . i brought kristina here because sonny wanted her here and because i thought that i would abide by the custody agreement that -- alexis : making my daughter a target is not part of any agreement ! ric : will you take a step back just for a second and look at this thing objectively ? i had no ulterior motive other than offering him an olive branch so that you could retain primary custody of kristina . alexis : given what happened today , primary custody is not nearly good enough . [ scene_break ] jax : look , i figured out that there was something wrong with you and rachel , but i did n't realize that she made you feel so insecure you had to pay me back by calling jason . courtney : no , no , no , jax , i was being ridiculous . please do n't remind me . jax : well , it 's just not like you . i mean , you know , you really have n't been yourself since rachel 's been around . it 's like you 're afraid of her . and you refuse to tell me why . monica : we 're about to take rachel to o.r . she needs surgery . courtney : well , is she going to live ? monica : well , her condition is critical , but i 'm hopeful . courtney : may i see her ? monica : i do n't see why not . courtney : thank you .

[ scene_break ] kate : jax , you have my undying and longstanding respect as a corporate raider , but you know nothing about running a fashion magazine . jax : a business is a business . kate : and that proves my point . jax : i own all kinds of companies , kate . kate : but you do n't micromanage every single one of them . fashion is its own universe . it has rules that are strict and unforgiving . jax : i 'm not that interested in the day - to - day . kate : no , you want veto power because you 've invested so much money . jax : i just want to make sure this works out for both of us . kate : oh , it will . `` crimson `` is my project . my magazine . my vision . i will not compromise my vision for anyone behind the scenes . especially one of the money men . jax : are you sure you do n't want just , you know , another point of view ? kate : do n't -- jax . jax : hmm ? come on . kate : do not try to charm me into this , all right ? it 's a waste of both our time . speaking of which , i have to get back for a conference call that will secure an exclusive deal with neela llorente 's new line . so make up your mind . are we on or are we off ?

[ shouting ] maria ! bring the dogs ! ric : you can kill the crazy routine , mr. zacchara . you 're more rational than you 've been in years . anthony : who told you that ? ric : i read your file . anthony : that 's a private medical document . ric : yeah . yeah , it says that you were clinically insane at the time of the rampage at wyndemere , so you ca n't be held responsible . and if your medical team agrees that you 're sane now , then they ca n't hold you against your will . anthony : you could get me out of here ? ric : maybe . anthony : [ chuckles ] ric : for a price . [ scene_break ] jason : i -- i need you to take care of something for me . spinelli : okay , well , are you still having dark visions of mob wars and other nonspecific portents of doom ? jason : sonny is cutting back on guards . he wants to prove to michael and morgan and kate that he does n't need guards or any guns . spinelli : well , but , naturally the protectors of the night will still guard mr. corinthos , sir , yes ? jason : right , but that 's not good enough while i 'm gone . okay ? i want you to follow him . spinelli : me ? jason : yeah , you . i want -- i want -- i want you follow -- i want you to follow sonny . i want you to call me if anything seems off . if you think you 're overreacting , i still want you call me , okay ? spinelli : okay , i 'm sorry , just to be clear , you want jackal p.i . to follow mr. corinthos , sir , without his knowledge and in your absence ? jason : is n't that what i just said ? spinelli : how ? jason : you 'll figure it out . good - bye . [ scene_break ] jerry : let me make one thing clear . never , ever make plans on my behalf without my prior knowledge . ian : my apologies for springing the whole corinthos thing on you without any warning , but it was news to me , too . jerry : yes , ms. zacchara appears to be a woman scorned , does n't she ? ian : that 's beside the point . claudia needs to be liable as well . it levels the field . jerry : yes , assuming that you think that i 'll go out and kill sonny corinthos . i 'll do nothing of the sort . ian : you could n't possibly be developing a conscience ? jerry : well , you see sonny has survived many assassination attempts , and if he survived this one , i could be involved . and you see , sonny is the father of my brother 's stepchildren . jax would never forgive me , and it could implicate him . ian : so you make sure corinthos does n't survive . jerry : i wo n't take the risk . nothing is worth losing a brother , but if you want sonny dead , why do n't you just pull the trigger yourself , hmm ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , what do you want ? claudia : better question , why did you even bother to show up ? [ next_on ] patrick : you 're beautiful . robin : what ? carly : we 're financing kate 's magazine . you need to have kate hire her . sonny : just stay away from me . spinelli : uh , oh . trouble . claudia : it will work perfectly . sonny 's not going to ignore him . | patrick has to tell jason that he needs further surgery that jason refuses to have because the timing is poor . claudia informs ian that since johnny wo n't violate the truce he just formed with sonny , he has to kill corinthos . trevor 's arrival cuts into sonny and ric 's meeting . sonny warns trevor no one would care if he died . until she hears maxie has the job as kate 's assistant , lulu does not want to do as carly asks and go to work for kate , but then jealousy impels her to consider it . it might be for nothing though ; the reason carly is pushing is so lulu can be her eyes on jax at the magazine , but kate does not want jax to be so hands on , just provide funds . jerry 's invitation to dinner and pursuit of her makes alexis uneasy . then , he moves on to disconcert claudia as johnny lets her know he 's partnered with jerry and ordered him to kill sonny . johnny does get good news ; his father 's mental state may be correctable with medicine ; it 's due to a long standing dopamine imbalance . ric visits anthony and offers to get him free , for a price . jax is able to help kate when a designer tries to cancel a verbal contract with her . jerry informs ian that he will not kill sonny . spinelli gets a job watching sonny for jason while jason is recovering from the surgery sonny orders him to have . |

[ scene_break ] silas : i 'm in no mood , detective . i just found out nina is dead . nathan : yeah . i just heard . i 'm sorry . silas : i bet you are . so , what ? are you here to arrest me for murder ? nathan : no , i have some questions for you about your alleged alibi in the nakamura case . you said you were on the phone with a patient at the time mr. nakamura od 'd , so we pulled the phone records at the hotel . ava : well , you 've been very busy . nathan : i 'm just doing my job , ma'am . so , someone was on the phone in your room for 30 minutes . silas : `` someone `` ? are you implying that someone was n't me , that someone broke in to my hotel room and placed that call for 30 minutes ? nathan : relax , doctor . we followed up on the other end of the call . okay ? we contacted the patient . silas : hey , i told you not to do that . i told you he 's a very sick man . nathan : who confirmed your story . silas : oh , great . so you found out i was telling the truth . nathan : that 's one possibility . another is that the patient agreed to be an alibi or you could have hired a third party to silence nakamura . silas : so what you 're saying is we 're just back to square one . so you 'd rather obsessed over coming after me than actually finding out who really killed my wife . nathan : i want justice for nina , for your wife . i want to see the person who killed her pay . silas : i did n't drug nina . but i think i can tell you who did . [ scene_break ] kiki : i do n't know what aj was doing at my mom 's place . she was n't even in town . she was in new york on business . although ... michael : `` although `` what ? kiki : she did say that aj was trying to get a job with her brother , my uncle julian . michael : why would aj want to work for julian jerome ? kiki : think maybe they wanted to team up against sonny ? michael : no , he would n't do that . he felt bad enough about what happened to connie . even if your mother told my dad -- told sonny -- otherwise . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not here to cause any trouble for you . monica : oh , but that is what you do , sonny . that 's what you 've always done is cause trouble for my family ever since you came into town . it was n't enough that you stole my son and turned him into a killer . no , you could n't stop there . you had to destroy my other son . you and carly made it your mission to make my son 's life miserable . sure , he made mistakes , and you exploited every single one of those , any chance you got . he was n't a gangster , sonny . he was n't out to get you . all he wanted was to be a part of his son 's life , but you would have none of that . and if i did n't know better , i 'd think you were the one that shot aj .

[ scene_break ] ava : are you implying that i had something to do with what happened to nina ? might i remind you that i also have an alibi for nakamura 's death ? silas : oh , right . your gallery 's vouched for you -- the girls on your payroll . ava : [ scoffs ] excuse me , gentlemen . i 'm going to see our daughter . silas : here 's what i 'm gon na do for you , detective -- i 'm gon na buy you a nice , big sandwich if you take a long , long look at ava jerome and her alibi . nathan : ava 's alibi checks out . it 's as airtight as yours , which means that one of you , if not both , could be lying . silas : man , are you so determined to lock me up that you 've lost the ability to evaluate the facts ? do you not want to follow the evidence , because you do n't like where it 's leading you ? nathan : not a reassuring quality in a detective . silas : no , it is n't . and why 'd that come up ? nathan : something my boss said to me when she hired me -- wanted me to keep an open mind . silas : you think maybe that 's what you 're doing ? nathan : okay , doctor , for argument 's sake , let 's say that i 'm willing to consider other possibilities . silas : how big of you . nathan : you are my prime suspect because that 's where the evidence pointed . now , if you did n't kill nakamura and his death is connected to nina 's , then it 's possible that you did n't have anything to do with what happened to your wife . silas : that 's what i 've been telling you all along . someone 's been setting me up . [ scene_break ] kiki : aj was furious with connie , was n't he ? that was one of the reasons why the cops arrested him -- because he had been so publicly angry with her for printing that article in the paper . michael : all i know is that aj has been a wreck ever since she died . he can hardly get through a day . kiki : i 'm not saying that he is n't remorseful , michael , but he ... he has been drinking . maybe he was sounding off . michael : [ sighs ] kiki : i do n't know . i 'm just going by what my mom told me . michael : your mom ? your mom has n't lied to you before ? kiki : why would she lie about this ? michael : i do n't know . she 's sleeping with my little brother , your ex - husband . why would she do that ? kiki : okay . michael : why would she do anything that she does ? kiki : let 's not . we both have a lot of baggage . let 's not unpack that now . you know i 'm on your side , right ? michael : thank you . thank you . i 'm , uh -- i think i 'm just gon na -- i got to get out of here , you know ? i 'm just gon na go for a walk or something . kiki : okay . you want me to go with you ? michael : uh ... no . i just -- i think i need to be alone for a little bit . kiki : okay . michael : all right .

[ scene_break ] carly : sonny did this ? that does n't make any sense . he has an alibi . he was with duke . aj : no . no , he 's lying . carly : no . no . sonny did n't do this , because he promised michael he would never do something like this . aj : but he did . he did this 'cause of ava .

'cause i read your letter , and i know the reasons why you did what you did , and i do n't care . they were selfish . they were delusional . they were -- they were evil . and , yeah , you 're not sick . you 're not a sociopath . i do get it , britt . i get why you did it . and that makes what you 've done so much more terrifying , and i promise you that i am gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done to me !

[ scene_break ] tracy : my condition could be fatal ? why did n't you tell me that from day one ? finn : i apologize if i misled you in any way . that 's not how i want to be practicing medicine . tracy : no , you just like to save the truth for the final act . dillon : mom , you 're not gon na die , right ? finn : you should know for those afflicted in less developed countries , this can be a death sentence . monica : but here in the united states , we 're much better equipped to treat the condition . finn : correct ... if it 's caught early enough . tracy : and in my case ... ? finn : we 're cutting it close . the bug has matured , therefore it 's much harder to kill . tracy : [ sighs ] i wasted so much time with mayes . finn : know that in a weaker patient , medication would n't even be an option . we 'd be talking about surgery , and that 's always dicey . but i do n't think that 's the issue here . my patient strikes me as anything but weak . dillon : anything but . monica : yes , to refer to tracy as formidable would be an understatement . finn : i assumed so . [ chuckles ] i just thought i needed to apprise you of the worst - case scenario . i 'd be remiss not to do so . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we can still turn hayden in to the police . she does n't know nikolas was behind her shooting . laura : no , we ca n't do that because once hayden 's real identity comes out , the police may want to re - open the investigation about her shooting . and who knows what evidence that could lead them to and where that might take them ? elizabeth : so , what are we gon na do , just sit back and -- and let her manipulate nikolas all over again ? laura : look , i do n't like this situation any more than you do , but it is n't up to us . it 's up to nikolas . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he 's got to realize he 's better off without hayden . laura : and nikolas may not see it that way . but it is his decision . and we have to respect that . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're right . i should have listened to my heart and trusted you . but i was so afraid that the truth would be too much for you to handle , and i would lose you . i 'm sorry . i made a mistake . nikolas : [ scoffs ] yeah . well , my mistake was believing you when you 've been working to take everything i 've been trying to build for myself and my son ! hayden : i would never do anything to hurt spencer . nikolas : how -- how can i trust you when you 've been wearing a mask this entire time ? you tell me ! hayden : you know what ? that 's really rich coming from you when you did the exact same thing to your own family . nikolas : what the -- what are you talking about now ? hayden : you lied to sam for months . you never let on that her husband , the father of her son , was not only alive , but he was right under her nose and right on top of elizabeth . nikolas : i was trying to protect elizabeth , thank you very much . hayden : no , you were trying to protect your bank account . you were just trying to hold on to elq . what we did was wrong , but what you did was worse , because you acted out of greed . i 'm just trying to have a fresh start , and yet here you stand , judging me , as if you 're any different , as if you have n't done it , too , as if you 're not lying to me right now .

[ inhales deeply ] okay , wait a minute . this makes a lot of sense . so rachel changes her name to hayden , moves to a place where no one knows her . nikolas : and ... sam : oh . nikolas : now she can find someone else to swindle . sam : nikolas , i am so sorry . nikolas : she swears that she was n't trying to con me . and looking back , you know , i - i - i was the one who originally pursued her . sam : okay , well , do you think she 's telling the truth ? nikolas : i do n't know . sam : or do you think she 's after your money ? nikolas : i have no idea . that 's why i need you to dig deeper . i need to know everything about hayden . sam : okay . nikolas : and rachel . sam : from what i remember , rachel was suspected of conspiring with her father . okay , so , all you need to do is go to the police , and they 'll complete an investigation . nikolas : no , no , no , no , no . sam : you 'll get the answers that you want . nikolas : i do n't want the police anywhere near hayden . sam : why not ?

[ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you would n't see an entire hospital shut down , because of one mistake with one patient . finn : one mistake could have left tracy brain - damaged . mayes cracked open her skull for a needless biopsy when the truth of her condition was right there in the mri for anyone to see ! dr. munro saw it , and mayes shouted him down ! dr. obrecht : dr. finn , watch your tone . finn : and if you and your roaming pack of idiots failed tracy quartermaine , how many more patients in this hospital have you failed to doctor ? ! dr. obrecht : it was an isolated incident , dr. finn ! i can assure you this facility is not in the practice of making mistakes . finn : [ breathing heavily ] now i 'm back to my hotel room . when i return in the morning to check on my patient , i expect the full cooperation of you and your staff .

[ door closes ] carly : what the hell was that ? [ scene_break ] ned : the last time you let him talk you into something , you wound up with worms in your brain . did you forget about that ? tracy : how could i ever forget about that ? ned : then why are you meeting him ? tracy : you heard him . he 's -- he said that whatever he 's got going on is connected to my father somehow . ned : [ sighs ] we went over this . he only said that because he knows grandfather is your achilles ' heel . obviously , he 's planning another con . tracy : [ sighs ] all right , you might be right . but on the outside chance that there is a connection to my father , i have to find out . ned : okay . do whatever you want to do . but when dear old dad tries to take you for a ride , i hope you 're prepared . tracy : please . i know what i 'm doing .

[ keys rattling ] valentin : you gon na offer me a drink ? alexis : that would imply that i wanted you to stay . valentin : so i take it you prefer to drink alone ? [ scene_break ] anna : so , this is the information on valentin that you got from faison ? dr. obrecht : yes . he sent a message through an encrypted account . anna : okay . dr. obrecht : not so fast . first , i need your promise that you will not use this information to trace my britta 's whereabouts . anna : oh , come on , liesl . we had a deal . i 'm a woman of my word , unlike you . dr. obrecht : anna devane , pillar of truth and honor . there was a time when i would have conceded that point , but after learning what you did to valentin cassadine ? how gratifying to find you are every bit as flawed and imperfect as the rest of us . anna : you can go . dr. obrecht : you 're welcome . anna : oh , no . [ scene_break ] tracy : [ sighs ] no . that 's right . no good can come of this . larry : ah , tracy . delightful to see you . tracy : sanity has prevailed . i 'm leaving . larry : you 've only just got here . why waste the trip ? just between you and me , you 're paying for the room . might as well enjoy it . tracy : excuse me ? larry : when our paths last crossed , i might have swiped your company credit card . bygones . tracy : you are a degenerate . larry : sticks and stones , tracy . come inside and hear me out . if you 're still not interested , i 'll go . i 'll even return that piece of plastic . tracy : better yet , return it now . larry : all jokes aside , you really do need to hear me . this is a matter of the utmost importance for your family . [ scene_break ] olivia : mm ! ned : hello , gorgeous . ready for the movie ? olivia : yeah , you know , i was just , uh , catching up with lulu , and i 'm little behind on my work . um , do you think that i could meet you at the movie theater ? maybe i 'll miss the previews , but i 'll be there in plenty of time for the opening credits . ned : no ! you ca n't miss the previews ! we 'll just tickets for the 9 : 00 show . we can meet at the floating rib , have a beer , and then head over to the theater . olivia : yeah , i guess a beer does sound good . i , uh ... ned : olivia . you okay ? olivia : yeah . no . no . okay , you know what ? i 'm just gon na say this . i 'm gon na spit it out once and hope that it does n't come out wrong . i got a proposal for you . ned : wait . you are now going to propose to me ? olivia : not that kind of proposal . we actually talked about this before , when leo was in the hospital . you know , i was saying how you 've really been more of a father figure to leo than julian ever was , and lulu was asking if maybe we were gon na make it official . ned : official ? olivia : meaning you would become leo 's father legally . ned : you mean adopt him ? olivia : yeah , what do you think ? ned : i - i -- i 'm sorry , i ca n't do that . [ scene_break ] valentin : why did i think you do n't drink ? did you tell me that , or did i make it up ? alexis : you know , you still have n't told me why you 're here . valentin : i heard your husband died . sorry . alexis : huh . your condolences do n't mean anything to me . valentin : well , if you 're experiencing any conflicting emotions , i am a shoulder to lean on . i 'm family , after all . alexis : mm . you 've been here 1 , 2 , 500 months , and today you want to be my brother . why ? valentin : i had some personal matters to deal with , but those are all done now . alexis : uh - huh . valentin : i 'm ready to make good on a promise i made when i first came to town . alexis : and -- and what 's that ? valentin : i came to port charles to reconnect with what family i have left . that would be you , your daughters , your grandchildren . i 'm ready to make good on the promise . alexis : oh . i - i have no idea what you 're talking about . valentin : the keys to the cassadine estate . [ scene_break ] anna : it 's in here . [ clears throat ] it 's an e - mail . it 's addressed to me . from cesar faison . he was with the dvx ... andré : mm - hmm . anna : ... and he ran counter - intelligence against the wsb at the time of the incident . i still -- i really do n't understand how there was a kill order issued in my name , but now i do understand why the bureau wanted valentin taken out . andré : what did he do ? anna : well , he had access to highly classified information , and that information ended up in the wrong hands , and an operation was compromised , and agents were killed . andré : valentin is a double agent ? a traitor . anna : i do n't know . but according to this , the intel was n't turned over to the dvx by valentin . that was me . [ scene_break ] larry : could i make you a cocktail ? the bar is fully stocked . tracy : you can make this worth my time . start talking . larry : ah , tracy . direct and to the point . i always admired that about you . tracy : you said this affects my family , especially my father . how ? larry : in a word , turkey . tracy : the bird ? larry : no , i was referring to the country . let me set the scene for you . i 'd been hopping across europe and asia with a lovely older female companion -- tracy : ah , your latest mark . larry : [ chuckles ] my companion wanted to visit an auction house in turkey . so many exquisite pieces . an art thief 's dream , really . tracy : you 're losing me . larry : oh ! back on point . there was one particular painting that caught my eye -- a portrait . late renaissance . a lost work by a master . one of his works was recently appraised at $ 20 million . i convinced my companion to bid for it . tracy : so you could make off with it ? larry : i 'd be offended if you were n't so bitingly accurate . alas , the painting belonged to someone else , and the auction house had no right to broker it . imagine my surprise when i recognized the name of its rightful owner . j.l . holt . tracy : jimmy lee holt ? [ laughs ] that hillbilly ca n't tell the difference between a portrait and a pin - up . larry : i was referring to j.l . holt -- aka your father . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm very grateful for your silence , and i am willing to donate whatever it is you need to get that nurses ' ball up and running . lucy : [ giggles ] oh , well ... let 's be very , very clear , shall we ? we have moved out of the ballpark of a generous donation into the realm of a much larger sum . ava : such as ? lucy : well , you know , we had this regular donor -- great person , but it seems that he 's just not totally liquid , so we need money for the music performance rights , sets , costumes -- oh ! and we have to partially pay for donny sheldon on the red carpet , you know , this wonderful host , and we have to pay for -- ava : okay . okay ! for the pills and your silence , i am willing to transfer ... this much out of my account . lucy : [ gasps ] wow ! that is so cute . we need another zero . after all , it is for such a worthy cause . [ scene_break ] sonny : you really want to do this right now ? 'cause it seems like , all those interruptions , the universe is saying that maybe we should n't be doing this . carly : or maybe it 's the two of us trying to make an excuse 'cause we do n't want to finish what we started . sonny : well , i will if you will . carly : you said we have n't had a real marriage in a long time . sonny : am i wrong ? i mean , you 're not living here , you 're not sleeping in my bed . you 're living in the house that you shared with jax . carly : that 's not fair ! because we 've been through hell , you know ? and i just found out that you slept with nelle , and i do n't know when or if i 'm ever gon na be able to move past that , and i ca n't help that . sonny : carly , i made a mistake ! i -- i admitted it , i apologized . i said i was n't gon na do it again . i just ca n't keep doing this back - and - forth . it 's got to stop . carly : so , what are you saying , sonny ? sonny : if you 're not gon na give us a chance ... ... then we 're done , for good . [ scene_break ] lulu : how 'd it go with sonny ? laura : well , sonny made it very clear that the corinthos family has no use for nelle . lulu : yeah . dante did n't tell me everything , but i got the feeling that nelle and carly had a very bad falling out . laura : but i think that nelle still has feelings for michael . i saw the two of them together at kelly 's , and she really could n't take her eyes off of him . so , i think that nelle is going to be our way to outmaneuver valentin . [ scene_break ] anna : so , when it became clear that the intel was in enemy hands , then valentin was questioned . and he claimed that he was tasked with a special assignment and that i had requested the information that was leaked . andré : i do n't understand . why did n't the bureau just tell you about valentin 's claims ? anna : well , because he disappeared soon afterwards . and the bureau just assumed that his claims that i was involved were just his attempts to try to shift blame . andré : well , now it makes some sense . everyone knows you would never sell out the bureau . anna : oh . that 's where you 're wrong , andré . i would . [ scene_break ] alexis : now you got the whole estate . all the money , all the misery . enjoy ! valentin : i 'm offering to share it with the other one cast aside . alexis : but i do n't want to share anything with you . valentin : what about your daughters ? your grandchildren ? charlotte could use some relatives . she 's about danny 's age , right ? alexis : oh ! i get it . i get it . you want to show me what a good daddy you are , and then i 'll get diane to share all her custody strategy with you . valentin : that 's a little convoluted . alexis : bye , brother . valentin : all right . well , i came with the best of intentions . just wanted to show my support as a sibling , something i did n't have much of growing up . alexis : well , i 'm gon na give you a little tip . so , if charlotte wants a sibling , charlotte has a sibling . his name is rocco . so , if you want family , you can start there , because i already have a lot . valentin : yeah . maybe -- maybe not so many friends . [ door closes ] [ knock on door ] alexis : i told you to get lost ! julian . [ scene_break ] larry : you may recall that your father ran into some legal difficulties and had to disappear for a couple of years in the late ' 80s . tracy : i do recall . he was my father . we actually thought he was dead , but he was in hiding , moving around , using aliases . larry : including j.l . holt . by any name , your father had exquisite taste in art and an eye for a bargain . painting had n't been attributed at the time he purchased it . he must have bought it at a fraction of its value . tracy : you are wandering off - point -- again . larry : naturally , i informed the auction house that i knew the legitimate owner of the painting . it caused quite a stir . apparently , the people who had been in possession of that painting had been trying to track down j.l . holt for decades , and when they could n't find him ... tracy : they presumed he was dead and arranged for the auction house to broker a sale . larry : precisely . that very valuable painting belongs to edward 's heirs . i could return it to you for a little quid pro quo . tracy : [ chuckles ] there 's the catch . larry : a finder 's fee is not out of the question . the painting 's worth $ 20 million . we could split it 50/50 . tracy : oh ! you want me to pay you $ 10 million for a painting my family already owns ? larry : who did i say was the renaissance master in question ? oh , that 's right . i did n't . nor did i happen to mention the name of the auction house . it seems that without my knowledge , you 've got very little to go on . tracy : ned warned me . he said you 'd try to con me again . this time , i do n't want to play . larry : you 're making a big mistake . think about what your father would want ! [ scene_break ] olivia : you do n't want to adopt leo ? ned : olivia , i love that boy . olivia : so ... ? ned : well , what are we doing ? olivia : what do you mean ? ned : you and i have been dating off and on for three years . i 'm helping you raise leo . but when i proposed , you ran out of the room -- literally . i mean , if i 'm not good enough to marry , why would you want me to be leo 's father ? olivia : you are so wrong about that . ned , i want to spend the rest of my life with you . but look around . i mean , look at carly and sonny . their marriage is over . julian and alexis ... they were so in love , and look at them , one year later . their marriage is done . i mean , from where i 'm standing , a marriage license is just , like , a guarantee that we 've got no future . [ scene_break ] andré : your record speaks for itself . anna : oh , my record has been strategically edited . certainly elements have been redacted , you know , because i would n't get clearance otherwise . and i graduated with the highest marks at the academy . and i landed a plum assignment . i was really arrogant . i was very immature . that 's a bad combination right there . [ sniffles ] because i thought i was smarter than the system . you know ? if the dvx was willing to pay for information ... why should n't i accept it ? no doubt someone from our side was paying one of them for the same thing . and if i was going to risk my life , then i deserved compensation . i was that cynical . i thought i was worldly , but i was n't . i was just very naive . [ sighs ] that 's how i talked myself into being a double agent . people died because of me . and i had to run , then , for my life ... and go underground . i was n't able to raise my own child . so , when you say that valentin -- his claims do n't sound like it was me , you 're wrong . i mean , it 's not who i am today . but that 's definitely who i was . andré : [ sighs ] anna . you tend to judge yourself very harshly . there 's no chance that valentin is the one who 's lying ? anna : maybe we 've both been lied to . [ scene_break ] julian : hello , alexis . alexis : no . no . no . julian : you know , i had feeling you might be drinking again , so i came here to stop you from making a big mistake . alexis : no . no . no , no , no . this is not real . this is not real . this is not real . this -- julian : i heard you ask me to stop you from drinking , so here i am . alexis : no . [ sighs ] it 's just a vision . [ muttering indistinctly ] stop . stop it . please , leave me -- leave me alone . julian : not until you get rid of that bottle . alexis : well , you 're a little late , 'cause i 've been drinking all day today . julian : it 's never too late to stop . alexis : you have no business telling me what to do anymore . you know , i read your letter . i saw your explanation . that you did n't mean to hurt me and that your sister forced you to do everything . julian : i was actually saving your life . i was protecting you . alexis : if you had protected me ... you would have told me the truth . see , if you had done that , maybe i would n't be drinking in the first place . [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't have that kind of money at my fingertips . lucy : oh ! oh , you know , no worries . that 's no problem at all . i completely understand . you know , i know someone will probably come forward . mm , probably sonny and carly . ava : all right . all right . i agree to your amount . if you could just give me a couple of days , i can move some assets around , and i 'll have your money . lucy : thing is , i do n't have a couple days . no , because my itemized nurses ' ball budget has to be turned in first thing in the morning , so ... i guess you could get me the cash by , say , tonight . ava : i 'm not sure that i can do that . lucy : oh . well , then we have a problem , do n't we ? [ scene_break ] carly : you decide our marriage is over , and i do n't get a say in it one way or another ? sonny : what marriage ? we 're in some kind of strange limbo . carly : who put us there ? who -- who made it so i ca n't stand the thought of living in this house or ever sleeping in that bed again , sonny ? who did that ? sonny : i know , carly ! i messed up ! but you keep dangling forgiveness in my face and taking it away . is our marriage worth fighting for , or not ? carly : you know ... i was willing to overlook everything you said to me earlier because i just said you did n't mean it and you got carried away , but here you are -- you 're doing it again . sonny : doing what , carly ? carly : you cheated ! you lied to me ! and you 're standing here and you 're giving me an ultimatum because i 'm not forgiving you and you want me to ! i do not forgive you , sonny . so if you want to end our marriage , that 's fine with me . [ scene_break ] tracy : ashton , you have absolutely no idea what my father would want . i 'm gon na find that painting myself . ava : i will start making some calls . i 'm -- i 'm sure that i can find a way to get you that money by tonight , okay ? lucy : okay . i look forward to hearing from you , and as soon as i get confirmation of the transfer of the funds ... [ pills rattle ] lucy : ... the pills are yours . ava : you are making the right choice . lucy : actually , i think i am , because i do not believe telling sonny and carly that you were trysting with morgan before he died -- still -- would solve anything . i just think it would open up old wounds . so ... this has been fun . you know , swell . so i 'm gon na go , and , uh , really ... a pleasure . ta ! ava : great . now , how the hell am i gon na get that much money on such short notice ? tracy : ava jerome . i need your help . it 's about a painting . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you 're ready to walk away from our marriage ? carly : according to you , we do n't have a marriage . and i guess you 're right , because you would have warned me about nelle . you would have told me the truth . sonny : morgan had just died . i did n't want you to handle anything else . i did n't -- carly : that is bull ! you demand honesty , and your first instinct is to lie to me . that 's not a real marriage ! you want me to commit and you want me to be all in , and there are parts of you that you never let me see ! and i refuse to be shut out again . it 's not happening . sonny : well , who 's making excuses now ? my business has always been about secrets , period . you know that . you 've always known that . carly : and i 've tried to accept it , sonny . and i have tried to accept you . and i have tried to trust you . but this always happens ! you let things reach to a boiling point , and they just explode -- just like they are now ! you do this ! sonny : i have let you into my heart more than anybody in my life . i have moved mountains to do that . why do you always focus on the things that i ca n't do ? [ scene_break ] lulu : dante told me that he talked to michael about nelle , and apparently michael is furious with her . laura : [ scoffs ] that 's not what it looked like to me at kelly 's . i mean , he seemed open enough , and , i do n't know , it was almost friendly . lulu : well , i mean , that does n't necessarily mean anything . laura : but if nelle wants to be back in michael 's good graces , it would make sense for her to endear herself to you and to dante . lulu : it sounds like nelle does n't have a friend in town . do you think that she would really do anything to alienate valentin and nina ? [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] valentin : i thought i made it clear that we have nothing more to say to each other ? anna : yes . i disagree with you because , um , i 've figured it out . so , when you were working as an analyst , you had access to information that wound up in the hands of the dvx , right ? and you were questioned . valentin : i was interrogated . the results were inconclusive . anna : and you disappeared before you could be questioned again . yes , i 've read all the transcripts . valentin : then you know why we should have nothing to do with each other . anna : you 're wrong . just hear me out . i think we 've both been played . [ scene_break ] alexis : i spent months trying to understand who you had become . and i could n't process that someone i loved so much could become so abusive and so frightening . because you kept me in the dark , i hurt myself . i lost my husband , my law license , my self - respect . all because you did n't give me the facts . julian : i did what i did to keep everyone safe . i do n't know what else i can say to make you realize that . alexis : nothing . because you 're not really here . i 'm just imagining you ... and whatever you 're saying is what i want to hear . you 're not real . julian : well , you 're right , alexis . i 'm not really here . i am in your mind . which means it 's not actually me telling you to put the bottle down . it 's you telling yourself . alexis : [ sighs ] julian : i 'm just a manifestation of what you already know . you need to get back to aa . what would sam say if she were here right now ? what if she had danny and scout with her ? alexis , what about molly and kristina ? and getting your law license back ? alexis : mm . julian : you have too much to live for . alexis : i do . but not with you . [ sighs ] julian : a little piece of me will always be with you . right here . in your heart . alexis : [ sighs ] [ sighing ] [ breathes shakily ] [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] ned : i -- we -- are gon na be at the floating rib tonight . the place where we had our very first date . olivia : i remember . ned : and i 'm gon na propose to you again . and however you respond , i will accept that as your final answer . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] ava : tracy . what can i do you for ? tracy : it has come to my attention that a painting belonging to my family , done by a renaissance master , was left somewhere in turkey . i figure if there is anybody who can help me find it , it 's you . ava : well , i 'd be more than happy to help you . for a price . [ scene_break ] carly : so , i have to forgive you right now , and i have to accept that i 'm going to be lied to and that you 're gon na keep secrets and that you get to decide what i can and can not know , and our marriage is going to be on your terms or not at all ? is that right ? sonny : that 's not what i 'm asking , carly . carly : you 're not asking anything . you 're demanding . sonny : why are you twisting everything around ? carly : i 'm not . [ scoffs ] sonny : look . i love you . more than anything . i 'd give my life for you . but i never pretended to be anything different than what i am . you knew the first time we slept together , first time we got married , even more so the fifth time ... but if who i am right now , how i live does n't work for you ... there 's the door . [ exhales sharply ] carly : this is me walking out the door , and i 'm not coming back . [ door opens , slams ] sonny : son of a -- [ glass shatters ] [ scene_break ] laura : just to clarify , i do n't think we should use nelle to try to get more visitation time with charlotte , because if the judge were to find out about that , lulu , it would tank our whole case . lulu : well , then how is she an advantage for us ? laura : i 'm not sure yet , but i think you should make friends with her . you know , it sounds like she needs a friend anyway , and then , when valentin tries to do something to sabotage your relationship with charlotte , she will be there to witness it . you 'll have an ally under his roof . lulu : an ally ... or a spy . [ scene_break ] valentin : one of us got played . and it was n't you . anna : but i think there 's more to the story than either one of us knew . valentin : you see -- i know the story . i know the story . it 's not very flattering to me , is it ? i was a rising star in counter - intelligence and threat analysis . my papers were highly regarded . and you tracked me down . persuaded me to access highly classified intelligence for something you needed for a special assignment . anna : yeah , but do n't you see ? that was n't me . a third party evoked my name and had you do that -- valentin : it was n't a third party . what are you talking about ? you asked me yourself . right after we slept together . [ next_on ] dante ( to nathan ) : so , what does that mean for you , her newly wedded husband ? amy : finally , i get the chance to shine ! [ giggles ] jordan ( to curtis ) : congratulations , officer ashford ! nina ( to griffin ) : anna has been after valentin since he arrived in port charles . anna ( to valentin ) : you have to believe me ! ned ( to olivia ) : tonight ... it 's about us . ava ( to tracy ) : aah ! [ laughs ] i got it . | anna finds obrecht at gh , and the two discuss if obrecht was able to get any information . obrecht tells her that she did and dangles a file over her . anna is able to get it and obrecht tells her that it is nice to know that anna is human too , looking at the horrible things she did to valentin . anna reads over the files , and later goes to andré to discuss what she found . it turns out the hit was called because valentin was trading secrets to the rival agency . andré feels that would make sense as to why they would want to kill him given the circumstances of him being a double agent . anna admits that she too was a double agent , and that she was so young and stupid for doing it . andré thinks that she gets too hard on herself . anna later goes to visit valentin to confront him . she thinks that they were both played into doing things and that is why the hit was made on him . valentin informs her that she is the one who asked her to do this and they slept together first . elsewhere , alexis is in a drunken state of mind . she is passed out in her living room when someone knocks on the door . it is valentin . he explains that he wants to become a family with her and her girls . he wants charlotte to have relatives , and wants them all to have access to the cassadine estate . he wants to share it . alexis does n't want that though and thinks that if he wants to have a family for charlotte , he already has one . she has a brother . his name is rocco . when valentin leaves , alexis hears someone else at the door and it is julian in her mind . alexis wishes he would leave but he keeps telling her not to drink . julian reminds her that it is actually her mind telling her she does n't want to drink . she grabs the bottle and pours it . |

[ scene_break ] patrick : i am out of options . i moved mountains to try and get my dad on the donor list . i broke every rule in the book , intercepting paperwork and phone calls on the registry . it was risky , but it 's the only chance he 's got . so go ahead and tell me i 'm wrong . robin : ok , you 're wrong . but i would 've done the same thing for my dad . patrick : so now all we can do is wait . robin : well , even if a liver does become available , noah may not be rational enough to consent to it . his condition can cause diminished mental capacity . patrick : ok , well , maybe that 's a good thing -- maybe that 's when he 'll agree . robin : well , i would n't chance it . you should talk to him now . patrick : because my other appeals were so successful ? as you can tell , he 's very grateful for my concern . robin : do you want him to be grateful or do you want him to live ? find a way to get through to him .

[ scene_break ] alexis : why were you so late getting to the park ? ric : i found sam spying on you -- second time this week . yeah , i think her grief is starting to push her a little bit over the edge . alexis : did you say something to her ? ric : yeah , i warned her to back off or i 'd call the police . and i advise you to keep your distance from her , as well , if you find her lurking anywhere near you or the children ever again . alexis : do you really think she 's going to hurt us ? ric : do you remember the fight that i got into the night of the haunted star party ? alexis : yeah . ric : i went over to talk to sam ; i tried to get her to back off of you . she got all upset , she became irrational , she tried to push me out of the apartment , so i grabbed her hands , and that 's when jason walked in and he completely misunderstood . alexis : jason -- he 's the one who hit you ? ric : yes . yeah , but if sam had n't lost control , then it would n't have escalated to the point it did . alexis : you know something ? i excuse her because she is grief - stricken . but jason -- i 've had it with him . he uses violence . he thinks he can beat people up and shoot them just because he feels justified . ric : which is all the more reason that we should n't antagonize him at this point . alexis : i am not going to cower in fear of that boy anymore . ric : no , wait -- alexis : you know , he 's been arrested several times and he gets to walk away every single time . there 's no consequence for him . maybe i should be a.d.a . that way , i can prosecute him and maybe get him convicted . ric : does your neck hurt from all these mood swings ? i mean , one minute you want to open up shop for the two of us , and the next you want to be the a.d.a . alexis : i 'm just saying that i would prefer jason behind bars rather than hurting you , thank you .

[ scene_break ] jason : carly show up ? sonny : yeah . she 's getting a lot out of this . jason : that 's carly being carly . she 's just so happy to be involved with the secret . hopefully , she 'll keep her mouth shut . sonny : well , i 'm more worried about sam because -- i think you got to rein her in . she 's , you know , going to blow the whole thing . jason : sonny , you know sam does n't want alexis to know , but that 's her decision . no , we have bigger problems -- one you 've been avoiding , i , oh , looks like we have new neighbors .
