patrick : i know robin . she might have some anxiety about living with me , she might even be mad [ missing ] on it . but she would n't make a move like this -- moving into this place , onto this island out of the blue unless you convinced her . nikolas : patrick , she moved in here because she wanted to . patrick : she said she did n't have a choice . now , if you know what the hell that 's supposed to mean , tell me . nikolas : no , i -- i 'm sorry , but you 'll have to ask her about that . patrick : this would n't be happening if you were n't putting pressure on robin . now , i 'm not leaving until you tell me why . [ scene_break ] amelia : i know , i know . i just left you and here i am again . sam : i guess you should come in , then . amelia : i suddenly realized i should 've offered to coach you for the press junket . jason : what -- what press junket ? sam : it 's a publicity thing at the hotel . amelia : to introduce sam as our new host . you have to give the press their due if you want them to promote the show . sam : um -- really , how hard can it be , though ? amelia : you would n't ask if you ever stood in a room with a pack of hungry , thirsty scavengers waiting to pick the meat from your bones -- not that you wo n't have them wrapped around your finger , but i can give you a couple of traps to look out for . sam : but i thought you already prepped me . amelia : i missed a couple of salient points . you know , i 'd invite you to watch for yourself , but we were warned that you 're publicity - shy . all things considered , i can hardly blame you . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : make sure no one in the corinthos organization knows i 'm involved . as far as everyone is concerned , skye is running the show . i 'll be in touch . skye : hi . i hope i did n't keep you waiting long . lorenzo : no , i do n't mind . having lunch with you is the high point of my day . carly : i want you both out of my hotel -- now . [ scene_break ] sonny : ric 's goal in life is to take me down , and he 's getting a little too close for comfort . [ scene_break ] ric : if a man like sonny gets too powerful , it upsets the balance . he and his organization need to be stopped . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's going to be your job to keep me informed of everything that happens in that department . [ scene_break ] ric : provide me with enough information to break the back of sonny 's organization . [ scene_break ] sonny : it is time to make my brother pay . sonny : if you succeed at this , i 'll make it worth your while , but for security reasons , we ca n't meet face to face after this talk . the only way we 're going to communicate is through this secured cell phone and through max . [ scene_break ] ric : everyone knows that you and i do n't get along . we 'll stage a fight . i 'll have no choice but to kick you off the force . you will make a public show of your disgust for the port charles police department , and sonny will come to you and ask you to work for him . there 's nothing he likes better than a cop gone bad . [ scene_break ] coop : i 'm scheduled to take the academy entrance exam . sonny : good . um -- your background as an m.p . should make this easy . and once you work your way into the pcpd , then you 'll be able to give me whatever information i need . [ scene_break ] det . rodriguez : sonny will never go for it . ric : sonny 's arrogant enough to love the idea of a cop working for him . [ scene_break ] sonny : ric thinks he knows every cop on my payroll . he 'll never see it coming . [ scene_break ] ric : i need for you to make this work for us , rodriguez . det . rodriguez : ca n't do it . ric : you know , there 'd be a big payoff for you . you 'd be a hero . det . rodriguez : yeah . it 's getting real hard to tell the heroes from the bad guys in this town . you 'll have to find someone else to get your brother for you . sam : tell me you did n't mean that the way it sounded . [ scene_break ] amelia : well , you told me how jason 's such a private man . i would n't want to draw attention to him . besides , you 're the one i want to know all about . sam : okay , you 're right . jason does hate stuff like this , and besides , i think it would make me really , really nervous if he were around . [ sam and amelia chuckle ] amelia : i 'll take good care of her , i promise -- not that she needs it . from what i 've seen , sam could stare down a sherman tank . sam : oh . jason : i 'm not sure what that means exactly , but have a good day . sam : i 'll see you when you get back . jason : oh , okay . sam : okay . amelia : sorry . uh -- did n't mean to ruffle any feathers . sam : no , no . please , jason does n't ruffle easily . he just does n't like to be in the public eye . amelia : hmm , i get it . i 've done my research -- i know all about jason 's alleged work . sam : he 's a coffee importer . amelia : and you 're a simple hotel clerk . we 're all just exactly as we appear with no secrets , right ? [ scene_break ] maxie : so we know scott got the blackmail demand . he 's probably going to think lulu 's behind it . logan : that 's not good enough . lulu can not be seen out in public at the time she is supposed to pick up the blackmail money . we can not let her have an alibi . maxie : that 's not going to be easy . logan : any ideas ? maxie : only the obvious one -- you will be with lulu to make sure she stays out of plain sight . you should go ask her what she 's doing at 6 : 00 p.m. on friday . logan : you and i are sitting here together . with as much as lulu hates you , why would n't she just blow me off ? maxie : i 'll show you why . you are such a jerk ! i would rather eat glass than spend another minute with you . logan : you 're one messed - up chick , you know that ? maxie : not too messed up to walk away from you . logan : ahem -- pass me some of those napkins , or are you going to give me attitude also ? lulu : what did you do to deserve that ? logan : why ? you suddenly maxie 's big defender ? lulu : no , no , not at all . in fact , if maxie hates you that much , you 're probably not that bad . logan : if that 's your idea of a compliment , it needs some work . what 's her problem anyway ? lulu : how much time do you have ? [ scene_break ] carly : 15 people , including myself , were held here at gunpoint , terrorized and tortured , and then the lobby was blown to bits . robin scorpio , a good friend mine named max , and a priest were shot like dogs . alan quartermaine is dead and buried , and you could 've stopped it -- and so could you . now , maybe you 're sorry , maybe you do n't care . either way , i wo n't have you in my hotel . skye : my ex - husband owns this hotel . carly : and i do n't see him jumping up to defend you . skye : you know what ? i refuse to take criticism from a woman who uses her own children -- and sometimes other people 's -- to get what she wants . you stalk good men like lorenzo and jax to fuel your sick love for sonny . and speaking of criminals , how many times has he put you in the hospital , and yet you still keep coming back for more ? carly : why are you still here ? skye : you and sonny made your own contribution to the tragedy that happened here . if you had n't helped sonny shoot lorenzo , none of this would 've happened . you would 've remembered that code and this would 've ended a lot sooner . carly : lorenzo went to sonny 's office to shoot him -- he deserved to be shot ! skye : oh , my god , carly ! you were married to this man ! do n't you have one ounce of compassion ? ca n't you tell that he 's suffering ? carly : however bad he 's suffering , he deserves every bit of it . lorenzo : we should go . skye : no , you know what ? my only crime in this whole thing was keeping quiet about a briefcase that was supposed to arrive here , and leave just as quickly , and none the wiser . tell me how that 's worse than you actively supporting sonny , a man who kills in his drive for power . and as far as my being responsible for alan 's death , you broke his heart when you destroyed a.j . you kept his only grandson away from him , and i think that makes you the worst kind of hypocrite of all . carly : this is my hotel and i decide who stays here . so you can spin this any way you want -- you 're the one who has blood on your hands . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you make it sound as if i have some all - consuming obsession with robin , and i 'm telling you that could n't be further from the truth . patrick : here 's the problem , nikolas -- i do n't trust you . nikolas : but if you love robin , you should trust her , and i recommend that all further conversations about this subject should be between the two of you , alone . patrick : you know damn well robin almost died from that gunshot wound . and when she made it through , we knew that whatever came up , we would be committed to being together . nikolas : uh -- okay -- you do n't have to convince me of that . patrick : yeah , well , apparently i do , because i do n't think you know what you 're doing . now , robin finally has what she 's been looking for and so do i , and i know that does n't mean a lot to you . but if she does n't want to live with me , that 's fine . but moving in with you , here in this place makes no sense . nikolas : patrick , robin and i have known each other for years . you know that , right ? patrick : okay , so because you 've known each other for years , because you carried her out of the metro court , i 'm supposed to believe she suddenly gave her heart to you ? nikolas : like i said , you 'll have to ask her . patrick : i know robin . and i respect her too much to believe that she would throw away everything we have . robin : patrick ? you ca n't be here ! [ scene_break ] amelia : this is a nice place . did you decorate it yourself ? sam : oh , gosh , no . this is pretty much exactly how it looked when i showed up on jason 's doorstep . amelia : what were you , some homeless waif he took in from the cold ? sam : oh -- almost . yes , almost . i -- i was in a really difficult situation , jason helped me out . we became really good friends in the process . amelia : hmm . how long before you realized it was love ? sam : oh , oh -- no , a while , i guess . we were very distracted . i was -- i was distracted , but i got to tell you , when i knew , i just -- amelia : hmm . sam : i just knew . amelia : oh , well , who can blame you ? i mean , your man is strong , gorgeous -- sam : hmm . amelia : and loaded . sam : yeah , but i 'm not with him for the money . amelia : oh , no , of course not . i mean , anyone with eyes can see how crazy about each other you are . `` everyday heroes `` will pay you well enough so that no one can ever accuse you of needing a man to get by . sam : i 've always made it on my own anyway . amelia : hmm . me , too . honestly , the biggest fights i had with my mother were about that . `` if you do n't find a man with money , how will you manage ? `` well , we better do what i came here to do and get to the hotel . [ sam sighs ] amelia : how are you feeling ? sam : ready to start a new adventure . [ scene_break ] jason : so where is sonny ? milo : he 'll be back soon . spinelli : stone cold , i am in desperate need of your wisdom ! i am at def - con four ! check that -- def - con five . jason : let him through . if sonny calls , put him through , all right ? milo : all right . spinelli : game on , giambetti . milo : game on , spinelli . spinelli : huh . you may be wondering what that was about . jason : not really . spinelli : tell me how to make fair lulu fall in love with me . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] logan : i got to wonder what happened between you and maxie . i mean , it 's obviously something very serious , probably over some guy . lulu : oh , god , no . i could never like any guy who likes maxie . logan : then why the big hate ? lulu : maxie seduced my married brother , fed him pills , and then faked a pregnancy to hang on to him . logan : and of course , you would never do anything that skanky . lulu : i never said that i was a saint . logan : oh , okay , so you -- then you just -- you get to pass judgment on other people . lulu : wow , wow -- forget that i even tried to explain . logan : oh , come on . you play this hard - to - get with the muscle - bound boyfriend dude ? he is your boyfriend , right ? lulu : yeah . actually , spinelli is , too , and so is dillon . i tend to lose count . [ logan whistles ] logan : hmm . so i guess you probably never need anybody to maybe spend a friday night with . singer : too late for me to know you [ scene_break ] coop : what 's going on ? maxie : oh . tell me login can be trusted . coop : that depends . maxie : well , if he has a thing for lulu , is he going to back out on our blackmail plans ? i 'm sorry , you 're not in on it anymore -- i mean `` my `` blackmail plans . coop : i doubt it . he 's a pro . i mean , there 's no girl he likes more than a fat bank account . maxie : well , i still think we should keep an eye on him just in case . come on . [ scene_break ] patrick : why , exactly , ca n't i be here , robin ? i thought we trusted each other . robin : look , you had no right to drag nikolas into this . patrick : actually , nikolas is a big part of this . you wo n't live with me , but you move in here ? i deserve to know why . nikolas : i 'll give you two some privacy actually . robin : no , no , it 's okay . patrick 's leaving . patrick : what are n't you telling me ? [ robin sighs ] robin : look -- look , if you ca n't respect me , then at least respect my decision . patrick : after everything we 've been through , you check out of my life , move in here , and call it a `` decision `` ? you stand there like there 's no room for me , no room for what we had . this is worse than running away , robin . i refuse to believe that everything we said to each other two weeks ago turned into this . did it mean that little to you ? robin : oh . i told you i was going to find a place to live . patrick : do n't patronize me . last chance , robin . what is going on ? robin : look -- if you ca n't accept that i 'm doing what i need to do and if you 're going to be like this over a housing arrangement , well , then -- well , then there 's nothing left to say . patrick : well , to hell with you , robin , and not because of nikolas but because you do n't trust me enough to be honest with me . you made me believe in you . and the minute i let my guard down , you -- you bail on me . well , i 'm done . [ james chuckles ] james : bravo , jobbing robin . hey , you continue to provide me with hours and hours of amusement . [ scene_break ] skye : i will gladly sue you for slander if you ca n't control yourself . carly : go ahead -- i will prove every single word i 'm saying is true . skye : you have no evidence that lorenzo and i did anything illegal . you just want to blame someone , so you 're picking on me and a man recovering from a bullet to the brain . carly : oh , go play the martyr somewhere else and take this loser with you . skye : you heartless witch . carly : let me tell you something -- you want to sue me for something , it 's going to be assault , because i 'm going to throw you out of here myself . lorenzo : ow . ow . skye : lorenzo ? lorenzo : oh . sorry , skye . i just need a minute . skye : do you see what you 've done ? carly : nothing would make me happier than to watch his head explode all over your tacky , new , overpriced dress . get out ! skye : you miserable , miserable shrew . you talk about peace and compromise when it comes to sonny , but when it comes to somebody who actually needs it , when the tables are turned and it 's lorenzo who needs some compassion , you have none . ca n't you tell the man is suffering ? carly : i do n't care . this is my hotel and i get to decide who stays in here . and if that makes me a hypocrite -- oh , well . skye : you know what , carly ? just remember -- what goes around comes around . carly : you 're right , it does , and it came back on you , did n't it ? and you deserve it -- you miserable , murdering bitch . lorenzo : ah -- sonny : hey -- whoa . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you 're wise in all things , stone cold . you are . okay , you -- you taught me to escape armed desperados and to placate mr. corinthos , sir . and when it comes to affairs of the heart , look , not -- not only have you managed to win samantha 's undying love , but you also managed to seduce the loyal elizabeth away from her husband . jason : that 's it . this conversation 's done now . spinelli : look , look , i 'm not -- i 'm not passing judgment ! i 'm just saying , i 'm merely pointing out that you have these two -- oh -- paragons completely devoted to you and then you throw valkyrie carly in the mix and you are a chick magnet , as they say . i mean , you 're a true triple threat . jason : okay , what does any of this have to do with you and lulu ? spinelli : you possess the secret . okay ? i mean , you can wield your power over -- over a woman 's heart , her -- her body , her soul , you know ? like , so who else would i go to for wisdom vis - à - vis the blond one ? i mean , dude , come on , please . just give me just a little something about -- give me the secret to your mojo . jason : i got to get out of here . spinelli : no , no , no , no , mentor of mine , please . look , i -- oh . i have a confession . look , okay , i may rule cyberspace . but in reality , well , the jackal struggles . you know ? i mean , this may come as a surprise to you , but there are some people that do n't take me seriously . there may even be some who -- oh -- who mock me behind my back . so , please , just -- please just give me something , anything , anything to make fair lulu take me seriously . jason : listen . spinelli : okay . what , that 's it ? jason : yeah , that 's it . listen to lulu . women like to talk a lot and want a guy who 's going to listen . now , you may not understand what she 's trying to say half the time , but that does not matter . it 's the simple act of listening that counts . [ music plays ] spinelli : wow . that is so -- zen . deepest gratitude , stone cold . jason : what -- what 'd i say about touching me ? spinelli : fine . deepest gratitudes . and when fair lulu is mine , i will remember your kindness . [ scene_break ] singer : i wo n't believe this is for real because these fears they are mine maxie : logan has been with lulu for a long time . he 's probably gearing up to double - cross me . coop : why not just drop the blackmail ? it 's trouble you do n't need . maxie : i may have a lot of flaws , but i always try to finish what i start , especially when money 's involved . aw -- look at the two losers sitting together . see ya . [ scene_break ] lulu : maxie spends some time with a cute guy and all of a sudden , all is right in her shallow , meaningless world . logan : oh , but not you ? you do n't care about any of those three guys that are after you . lulu : actually , i do , but it 's maxie who does n't care about anybody . she 's a user . logan : yeah , you 've mentioned that . lulu : yeah , well , i mean , i 'm not saying that i 'm perfect . i developed some maxie - like qualities last summer . logan : uh - huh . lulu : but as my mother says , i have the good sense to have a conscience about it . logan : mm - hmm . lulu : mm - hmm . logan : your mother sounds smart . lulu : my mother 's not open for discussion . logan : okay . you were telling me about your bad behavior , then . lulu : ahem . yeah , i lied to some people and i hurt some people and i paid a price , but it 's maxie who does n't care how many people she steps on to get her way . logan : hmm . [ scene_break ] alexis : hey , you . did you get everything straightened out with robin ? patrick : that 's one way of putting it . alexis : what happened ? patrick : she 's staying with nikolas . nikolas : hey . robin : oh . nikolas : hey , you will fix this with patrick . james : oh , i doubt that . you see , paddy boy has a powerful ego and when a woman rips his heart out , he wo n't soon forgive her . admittedly , i mean , he was a little over - the - top , but nevertheless , poor bugger . nikolas : you know what -- shut up . you do n't have to keep punishing robin for this . james : you misunderstand , you see , i have the highest regard for tiny robin . i mean , i could 've sworn that she would tell everything to dr. drake , but she managed to keep our bargain a secret and i 'm -- i 'm incredibly grateful because i was really not in the mood to shoot someone today . robin : i do n't understand why it 's fun for you to watch me break patrick 's heart . james : well , you see , my day job is so tedious . i do n't get the chance to go to films , so i try to find entertainment where i can . and watching you break up with patrick , and nikolas push emily out of his life only strengthened my conviction that the two of you should embark on a very public love affair . [ scene_break ] skye : tell me something , sonny -- do you make it a habit to manhandle women in public ? sonny : ask your boyfriend . he 's the one with the sharp reflexes all of a sudden -- did you see that ? carly : mm - hmm . [ sonny chuckles ] lorenzo : do n't threaten skye , all right ? sonny : hey -- she tried to slap my wife . what do you want me to do ? skye : please . you only married carly so she could n't testify against you in court that you tried to murder lorenzo . carly : lorenzo , who walked into sonny 's office and so he could shoot sonny -- that lorenzo ? is that who you 're talking about ? sonny : carly is understandably emotional right now because she knows that you two are responsible for craig putting us all through hell . carly : mm - hmm . sonny : now , you -- you 're a fool to come here , you 're a bigger fool to think that your alliance with ric lansing is going to protect you . now , did you -- you asked them to leave , right ? carly : i sure did . sonny : okay -- get the hell out of here . otherwise , we get security in here to kick you out . lorenzo : let 's go . carly : can you believe they would come in here and show their face ? i should 've thrown her out myself . sonny : let it go -- no more public displays . carly : why ? sonny : can you for once just -- just do what i ask ? carly : what 's going on ? i mean , really -- is there some kind of trouble with you and lorenzo ? [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] logan : hey , i 'm convinced there 's hope for you , lulu . lulu : hmm . logan : you could probably learn a lot from a steady boyfriend . lulu : wow . if that 's your lame way of trying to ask me out , you can -- logan : hey -- lulu : just -- logan : do n't flatter yourself . you 've got your hands full , and i do n't like waiting around . lulu : okay . singer : save me i do n't believe it [ scene_break ] alexis : nikolas has nothing but respect for robin . patrick : yeah , well , `` nothing but `` has turned into something more . alexis : no . i know him . i -- he thinks of robin as a friend . he 's in love with emily . i know that . and if for some peculiar reason , they 're in some sort of a rebound relationship -- patrick : look , alexis , i really appreciate this -- whatever -- concern , reassurance . but as well as you think you know nikolas , i know robin . she is too stubborn to let an argument over living arrangements break us up . no , she quit on us for some reason [ missing ] something to do with it , and i could waste a lot of time trying to figure out why . but she made it clear . i 'm out of the picture . message received , and i 'm moving on . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , it 's enough for her to move in here . there 's no reason to fake a -- a romance . james : at the risk of restating the obvious , there are two jilted lovers who are wondering what happened to the great loves of their lives . if they decide to solve the mystery before my identity is secure , my presence could be compromised . so patrick and emily , and anyone else who 's too curious for their own good need a plausible reason for your living arrangements . a love affair is the answer to my problem . robin : except anyone that knows us will think it 's ridiculous . james : oh , nonsense . it 's an easy sell if you put your heart into it . see , people who survive traumatic events often come out on the other side thoroughly changed . it 's not uncommon for a victim to bond with other people who suffered the same trauma . robin : you know what ? i wo n't do that to patrick . nikolas : hey -- do n't let him do this to you . james : oh , how sweet . you see ? see how naturally it comes ? robin : oh -- james : you do surprise me , though . i thought you cared too much about paddy boy to risk his life . [ robin sighs ] james : but if you care so little , i can arrange to put him out of his misery at the first opportunity . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : i just feel so useless . skye : please . you 're still recovering from a horrible injury . i will not let you beat yourself up for something that sonny did to you . ric ? tell me , why is n't sonny locked up awaiting trail for attempted murder ? why was he just allowed to shoot lorenzo and walk away ? ric : huh . well , i think you both know the answer to that . the next time lorenzo tries to kill sonny , ( a ) , do n't miss . ( b ) , make sure you kill all of the accessories that could turn state 's evidence . lorenzo : is that supposed to mean something to me ? ric : oh . if you think locking up sonny is the answer to all of your problems , you 're mistaken . just like you 're mistaken to think that you can run alcazar 's business with any measure of success . [ scene_break ] carly : what the hell does skye think she 's doing ? sonny : she thinks that she can run alcazar 's business while he 's out of commission . what she does n't know is she 's playing with the big boys . the fact that she 's a woman -- it 's not going to protect her . now , i 'm -- i 'm asking you -- promise me you 'll stay away from skye . you 've been hurt by those people too much already . carly : you need to stop trying to protect me , and you need to stop worrying about me . i 'm getting a divorce , you know , and so your -- your business has nothing to do with me . oh , damn . sonny : what ? what happened ? carly : you -- you know what ? you take care of your business , and i 'll take care of mine , okay ? thanks to my people , i finally paid off my student loans . [ scene_break ] maxie : are you sure you want to join the police department ? i mean , you 're seriously the best thing this lobby has going for it . coop : hey , do n't joke . i have to get into the academy first . maxie : i told you i was going to get you the exam . i 'm not going to let you down now . coop : do you ever plan on telling me how you 're going to pull that one off ? maxie : i grew up with the police commissioner . i mean , dinner conversations consisted of police procedures and regulations . i could recite miranda before i knew the pledge of allegiance . georgie and i used to play hangman on the back of those exams . coop : you are my dream come true . maxie : no , i just believe in you . so now it 's your turn to believe in me . you 're as good as in . [ scene_break ] amelia : still nervous ? sam : no , uh - uh . amelia : then why are you destroying that cheat sheet ? it never hurt you . sam : oops . okay , i 'm -- i 'm busted . i -- slightly terrified . amelia : you will be fine once you start . the camera is your friend , sam . it loves you . the audience looks at you and sees what they want to be , no matter who they are . sam : wow . um -- you keep saying that . amelia : i do this for a living . i know what i 'm talking about . sam : hmm . whew . man : we 're ready for you , sam .

[ scene_break ] mac : you have no idea what 's going on with your own daughter . maxie is a surrogate . the baby she 's carrying is n't your flesh and blood . frisco : i know that . you 're right . mac : you 're trying to use a grandchild that is n't even yours as some kind of do - over , a way to reclaim a family that you walked out on years ago ? i 'm sorry , frisco . that baby has nothing to do with you . frisco : maxie is carrying that baby . she 's going to give birth to it . mac : is that all you care about -- what 's yours ? `` my daughter `` ? `` my flesh and blood ? `` yeah , you 're right . maxie is your flesh and blood . but that 's all she ever got from you . all you ever gave maxie is your dna . you know , you were n't there to raise maxie , to support her when she needed you , when she went on trial for murder or when she mourned the death of her sister . someone else you did n't care about -- georgie -- someone who has your celebrated dna . frisco : do n't question how i felt about georgie . she was my child . mac : oh , come on . you were n't even there when she was born . you did n't watch her grow up . you did n't even notice when she died . all georgie is to you is a way to get to felicia . i mean , you turned her birthday into , what -- some kind of date night , for god sakes ? a way to celebrate frisco and felicia 's greatest adventures . how low can you go , frisc -- frisco : is that low enough for you ? [ scene_break ] aj : so , you and nikolas , huh ? did n't really realize that . elizabeth : it obviously happened while you were gone . aj : yeah , i always think about nikolas and emily and you and lucky . you guys were so close . elizabeth : yeah , after emily died , nikolas was lost . he tried dating other women , but he was just going through the motions , you know ? he always loved emily . i 'm sure he still loves emily . aj : and you were her best friend . elizabeth : that was part of it . aj : what about lucky ? elizabeth : lucky and i had been together and apart so many times , i 've lost count . that summer , he asked me to marry him . i said i would , but i knew i was n't sure , and nikolas was there ... and we had an affair . we did n't mean for it to happen . we did n't want to hurt lucky . it just happened , and we knew it was wrong , so we broke it off . but the damage had already been done . aj : and lucky found out . elizabeth : yeah , he did . aj : that must have been horrible -- for everyone . elizabeth : lucky was devastated . but if finding out i had cheated on him with his brother was n't enough , he then learned that the baby i was pregnant with was n't his . nikolas was the father . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , aside from my daughters and my grandson , you are the only relative that i can remotely stand . you 're the only cassadine with a heart and a soul besides me , but according to helena , i do n't count . and we do n't give a crap what she thinks anyway , right ? as long as i know you love me . mm . i for sure love you . i 'm sorry i was n't here earlier , but i was playing florence nightingale to another shooting victim . [ scene_break ] helena : nikolas has been shot ? luke : wow . she 's really got that surprise thing down , does n't she ? laura : you knew that nikolas was gon na warn us that you were after lulu , so you had to find a way to shut him up , did n't you ? and thanks to you , he 's now lying in a hospital bed , clinging to life . helena : why would i hurt my own grandson ... my own flesh and blood ? luke : oh , please . you 'd eat your children for breakfast with an ouzo chaser . i saw you murder your own daughter in front of me . helena : oh , that deviant . i abhorred her . but nikolas -- i love him . i have no reason to hurt my grandson . luke : well ... if you did n't have him shot ... who did ? [ scene_break ] aj : i thought that aiden was lucky 's son . elizabeth : he is . he is . but when i had the original paternity test done , helena had messed with it to make it look like nikolas was the father . so for a while , nikolas believed aiden was his son . aj : i do n't understand . why would helena mess with the results ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i -- i stopped trying to figure out that woman . if i had to guess , i would say it was because she was trying to mess with lucky . helena will stop at nothing to hurt his family ... or worse . [ scene_break ] laura : yes , helena , tell us -- if you 're not the one who had nikolas shot , then who is ? helena : i 'm the one who asks the questions . now , what proof do you have that my grandson was shot ? laura : you think we 're lying to you ? luke : it 's all over the news . what 's the matter ? you do n't have satellite out here ? laura : [ gasps ] luke ! helena : i assume that you have cell phones . luke : yeah . you have trouble with your international carrier ? you want to borrow mine ? helena : i want to speak to nikolas now . and i guarantee you the consequences will be severe . laura : i can call scotty . he promised me he would stay at nikolas 's bedside . helena : keep it on speaker . no tricks . laura : okay . alexis : i spoke to lesley , and your bodyguard / babysitter and spencer is okay , all right ? he thinks that you 're out of town , but he 's fine , so ... [ cell phone rings ] alexis : ooh . hello ? laura ? laura : alexis , is that you ? i 'm sorry . i was trying to reach scotty . alexis : uh , yeah . um ... oh , this is scott 's phone . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to pick it up . it 's just here . he went for a walk . laura : oh . alexis : hey , is everything all right ? are n't you and luke supposed to be chasing after helena ? laura : yes . yes , we are . i was just calling to check in on nikolas . how 's he doing ? alexis : um , he 's okay . he had a little bit of a setback . laura : what kind of a setback ? alexis : look , elizabeth said that he 's on the road to recovery , so do n't worry . laura : has he regained consciousness yet ? alexis : not yet , but the doctors really are concerned , so you should n't be , either , because i 'm gon na stay here until he 's out of the woods . helena : see that you do , natasha . [ scene_break ] mac : guess that makes us even . frisco : not so sure . mac : i 'm sure there 's a lot about this situation i probably could 've handled better . frisco : it 's a messy past we 've got , me , you , felicia . but i have to admit it -- most of it 's probably my fault . i love her . i loved her since the first day i met her . she 's been the only woman for me . i respect you . you 've been good to felicia , and you 've been good to my daughters when i was n't there to be good to them myself . i do n't want to see get hurt . so maybe you save yourself a little heartache . mac : and do what ? frisco : step aside and let felicia go . [ scene_break ] felicia : you ask a good question . mac asked me the same thing . maxie : then why did n't you answer him ? felicia : because he did n't give me the chance . once he asked me , frisco walked in , and then he just punched him . maxie : i 'm sure dad provoked him . felicia : how ? maxie : i know he provoked him . oh , by breathing . felicia : do you think you 're being a little harsh on your father ? maxie : no . mom , dad was gone forever . mac finally takes you back and opens his heart to you , and now , what -- dad 's back again and all of a sudden he decides he loves you after all ? he 's gon na try to win you back , maybe just to prove that he can ? felicia : do you really think that 's what frisco 's doing ? maxie : i think mac believes that 's what frisco is doing , which is probably why he hit him . and , honestly , i ca n't blame him . felicia : the point is , before i could tell him how i feel , frisco 's laid out on the floor , and now mac 's not even speaking to me . maxie : and you did nothing to fix it . felicia : not yet . maxie : no offense , mom , but that 's kind of lame . and trust me -- i know lame . i 'm living it every day . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so it appears we are at a crossroads . ellie : or a standstill , depending on how you look at it . spinelli : well , you wo n't change your mind . i wo n't change mine . whatever you call it , we 're not moving forward . ellie : well ... we could agree to disagree . spinelli : that solution is problematic . i mean , it might work in the short term , but it 'll loom over us , and then when we actually get back to it , then what ? ellie : well , i mean , that day is a long way away . it 's not like we 're marking time for a wedding . we 're -- we 're not even engaged yet . spinelli : yeah , but ellie we 've spoken about our commitment to each other and how we both see a future together . ellie : yeah , we have . spinelli : all right , so if we follow that through to its logical conclusion , at ... some point down the road ... we would marry ... and if you hold still to your position , then , on that day , i 'd be resigning myself to a life without children , and i 'm not sure i can do that . ellie : so what are you saying ? are we breaking up ? [ scene_break ] maxie : okay . you have to tell me right now -- who do you want to be with -- mac or dad ? felicia : you know what ? it 's not appropriate for me to discuss my private life with you . i got myself into this mess . i 'll get myself out of this mess . i think the person i need to talk to first is mac . i need to face him . maxie : wait . you 're gon na go do that right now ? felicia : yeah . there 's no time like the present . are you gon na be okay ? maxie : well , i 'm certainly not gon na be hungry . felicia : i love you . maxie : i love you , too . felicia : okay . maxie : and if you see dad , will you tell him i said thank you -- for what he 's doing about finding lulu . felicia : i will . but i know that he 's happy to do it . he knows as well as i do that that baby needs a mother . bye , sweetie . maxie : bye .

[ chuckles ] aj : i would never judge you for what happened with nikolas and lucky . elizabeth , the bottom line is that things happen , you know ? people make mistakes . you do your best to make amends . you ... you try not to make them again . and you move on with your life . elizabeth : i need to check on nikolas . aj : so you 're okay ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , i 'm okay . aj : okay . then i think i 'm gon na go down to the lab and see how ellie is doing on the pickle - lila front . elizabeth : how 's that going ? aj : i think we are just about to hit pay dirt . elizabeth : really ? congratulations . aj : so i 'm , uh ... i 'm just a phone call away . elizabeth : i 'll remember that . aj : okay . [ scene_break ] alexis : helena ? helena : the one and only . alexis : luke and laura captured you ? helena : on the contrary , it is i who did the capturing . alexis : what have you done with them ? helena : that is none of your concern . you only have to be worried about my grandson . tell me , how is he ? laura : do you think there 's any chance that she 's maybe telling the truth ? maybe she 's not the one who had nikolas shot ? luke : she lies like she breathes , but i do n't think she had any idea . laura : what does that mean ? luke : nothing good . helena : how does he look ? alexis : pale , but as handsome as ever . helena : is he in pain ? alexis : no , because he 's unconscious at the moment . but he 's in stable condition , and the doctors say the prognosis is good . helena : i am entrusting you ... with the care and well - being of nikolas . fail me , natasha ... and i will slit your throat just like i did that cow who dropped you . laura : all right , helena . you 've got your proof . now give me back my daughter .

[ scene_break ] ava : thank you for bringing me someplace private . when you 're talking about a literal life - and - death situation , it 's best not to do it in public . scott : well , you may be hiding out indefinitely . ava : that 's what 's so maddening . i know my organization . they want revenge against me because i worked with the da , but when ? where ? scott : well , what 'd you expect getting in bed with the da to take down arms dealers ? you know your mob cronies . they hate rats and snitches and traitors . i mean , what were you thinking ? ava : scott . you 're still my lawyer , right ? so , whatever i say to you is private . it 's privileged information . am i right ? scott : yeah , if you pay me . ava : [ scoffs ] here . consider this the first payment of your retainer , okay ? scott : okay . spill it . ava : i did n't cooperate with the da by choice . paul hornsby -- he blackmailed me . he has the flash drive , scott . you know . the flash drive where i talk about shooting connie falconeri ? scott : so , when my room was ransacked , paul hornsby -- he 's the one that stole it from me ? and he has the audacity to call me corrupt ? ava : the point is that if i did n't do every single thing that paul told me to do , he would have arrested me for murder . so , i went along ! and now my own people are threatening to kill me . and that 's why i need you . scott : what exactly do you think i can do for you ? [ scene_break ] anna : who else did you tell that carlos was still alive ? sonny : one of my most - trusted guys , but he 's not gon na say anything , must less to the press . anna : who else ? michael ? sonny : well , i figured he should know . he 's not gon na say anything . anna : you sure ? sonny : if michael were n't my son , he 'd take my place . he understands the business . he knows how to keep a secret . anna : that 's it . you did n't tell anybody else about this . sonny : maybe you should consider who you told . anna : well , robert . sonny : right . anna : and mac , felicia -- they were helping me with the case . but they would never go to the press . for one thing , they understand the goal is to bring carlos in safely so he can testify against julian . sonny : so , who would benefit from the public knowing that rivera is alive ? who would put a target on his back ? two people come to mind -- ava and julian . anna : no . as far as i know , they believe that carlos was the body that was pulled out of the harbor . oh , god . i know who did this . it 's the district attorney , paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] ava : you owe me , scott . you know that . now , paul got that flash drive from you . scott : i owe you . what do you want me to do ? ava : protect me . scott : how am i gon na protect you ? ava : move in with me .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : go ahead , rachel . you make that call . get the cops here so you can start on your long , twisted journey through the halls of justice and never see nikolas again . hayden : go to hell . elizabeth : no , thanks . i have a better idea where i want to go tonight . i think your husband could use a friend . he could probably use a drink , too . hayden : oh , my god . you really are swooping in on him . how pathetic are you ? elizabeth : maybe before the drink , i 'll stop at the police station and report a sighting of the elusive rachel berlin . do n't worry . i 'm not expecting you to thank me . hayden : thank you for what ? elizabeth : for giving you a heads up . if you hurry , you can get out before the cops get here . all you have to do is jump on that launch and go to the mainland , get in your car , and drive far , far away . never come back to wyndemere and never see spencer or nikolas again .

[ scene_break ] anna : so , paul made this offer of a deal to carlos , right ? in return for testifying for julian . sonny : why would paul make it public that rivera is alive unless he wants carlos dead ? anna : well , obviously , carlos is n't cooperating . sonny : right . anna : because i know -- i 'm certain that those two have been in contact recently . sonny : oh . anna : i mean , carlos must have decided that he 's better off on the run . but paul knows he 's got all this inside information on him , so ... sonny : wait . what -- what kind of information ? anna : nothing that i feel compelled to disclose to you . paul in turn must have decided that he 's safer if carlos is eliminated . sonny : so , paul makes it public that rivera is alive . he 's just waiting for somebody else to kill him . anna : yeah . sonny : ah . anna : just when i think i figured this guy out , i learn something new . he 's so ... slippery . even if you ask him something directly , you just -- you never know what he 's actually doing . sonny : there are ways to find out . anna : yeah , that are n't strictly legal . sonny : but you will get results . anna : okay , i 'm listening . sonny : the way to find out about hornsby is to tap his phones and bug his office . anna : no , no . i can not agree to that . sonny : yeah , well you could pretend you did n't know . anna : in other words , you 're gon na do it anyway ? sonny : in other words , i 'm gon na get justice for duke . for his son . [ scene_break ] scott : i 'm your lawyer . i 'm not some hired ape . ava : i trust you . scott : trust me ? why on earth would you trust me ? ava : because you were gon na sell me that recording for $ 5 million . now , that may not make you respectable , but at least i know the kind of man you are . scott : well , the kind of man i 'm not is a bodyguard , so why do n't you go out and get yourself a goon ? they 're a dime a dozen in this town . ava : because , scott , word on the street is that i flipped to work for the da and that my own people have it out for me . nobody will come near me . scott : so , you want me to be like a human shield , where i take the first bullet ? ava : please , scott . i 'm scared . it has to at least appear like i have some kind of protection . wo n't you do this for me ? scott : well ... you know me as well as you think you do , what would be my next question ? ava : easy . what 's in it for me ? scott : bingo . ava : money . lots of money . interested ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i warned hayden that before i saw you , i was gon na stop at the police station and file a report . and then if she had any sense , she would take that head start and get as far away from wyndemere as possible . nikolas : i wish you had n't . elizabeth : why ? are you telling me that you 'd be glad if she was n't gone ? nikolas : [ scoffs ] before you got here , i was on the phone with spencer , okay ? and he could hear in my voice that there was something wrong . i did n't admit to anything , but what am i gon na say to him when he comes home , and she 's not there ? he 's crazy about her . elizabeth : so , you want to keep hayden around for spencer 's sake ? nikolas : no , not just for spencer . i do n't think i 'm ready to let her go . [ scene_break ] tracy : this is obviously your doing . dillon : well , gee . did i call my only big brother to let him know that our mother is seriously ill ? yes , of course , i did . tracy : despite the fact that i strictly instructed you not to do it . dillon : i know that you do n't like us to make a fuss over you . ned : would it be better if i came here , because dillon told me you are a medical oddity and that i needed to see it for myself before it showed up on one of those weird - news websites ? tracy : better , but not acceptable . ned : [ chuckles ] why are you always such a tough cookie ? tracy : because if you dropped everything to be here , it can only mean one thing -- i 'm dying . ned : well , may i remind you that the last time i came running back here was to protect you from luke . you were n't dying then . i came back then just like now . because i love you , and i want to be here for you . can you accept that ? tracy : no . ned : okay . then how about when dillon called me , he did n't tell me he was scared . i could hear it in his voice . i came back , because i want to be a good big brother . is that better ? tracy : yeah . thank you . [ scene_break ] sam : nikolas wants me to keep investigating . i think he 's hoping to find out that rachel is n't out to swindle him after all . jason : i do n't really care what nikolas wants to believe . i need to get back the company that he stole . sam : okay , i do n't want this to come off the wrong way , but ... why is this so important to you ? jason : i guess because it 's important to the quartermaines , and ... i owe them that much . [ scene_break ] anna : how do you know about duke 's son ? sonny : he told me . and as soon as he did , i did n't question it . i mean , he reminds me of duke . you do n't see that ? anna : yeah , no , i did . [ sighs ] he asked if he could come talk to me about his father , and so he did , and , um ... we -- we were talking , and then i was telling him about carlos , and how he was the man that shot duke , and , uh ... i just started to get really paranoid , because he was urging me to unburden and saying that i needed to forgive carlos . um ... i do n't know . i just felt like he was digging for information or something . sonny : griffin gave me the same piece of advice . he told me i should ... forgive duke 's killer . seemed pretty sincere to me . anna : that 's so interesting . are you gon na follow his advice ? sonny : one of the things griffin and i bond over was our faith . he appealed to my better nature . he told me to abandon revenge and ... forgive . i 'm not sure i can do that . anna : no . i certainly understand that . sonny : i mean , the only reason i did n't have carlos eliminated was so he could testify against julian . anna : ah . no , i admire your commitment to due process and rule of law . sonny : [ scoffs ] well , julian 's married to alexis . he 's sam father , danny 's grandfather . if anything bad happened , like if julian disappeared ... it would n't be good . but you know what ? it 's an option if things do n't work out . anna : why do n't we just stay within legal parameters for now , huh ? sonny : well , i think the best thing for everyone concerned is if julian gets convicted of duke 's murder , and he goes to prison for life . because the idea of him just rotting in prison is kind of nice . anna : it does n't really fit with the definition of forgiveness , though , does it ? sonny : [ laughs ] anna : but then , you did n't let ava die when you had the chance . sonny : no , but it does n't mean i forgive her for murdering connie . no matter how persuasive griffin is , forgiveness is not in the cards for me and the jeromes . [ scene_break ] ava : why do n't you just open that ? are you afraid that something scary 's gon na jump out at you ? scott : well , yeah , actually , it will . because it 's , uh ... it 's my bill for here . it 's overdue , and if i do n't pay it , they 're gon na evict me tomorrow . ava : oh . [ laughs ] that 's unfortunate for you , but it happens to be very convenient timing for me . although , i have to ask you -- what the hell happened to all that money i paid you when you helped me get custody of avery ? scott : [ scoffs ] i had a debt from a while back . i got wiped out . thank god my daughter serena -- she has a separate trust fund . so , she 's got her money , but i ... i lost my entire life savings . ava : how ? scott : how ? ! because i was stupid enough to invest with this thieving coyote , raymond berlin . [ scene_break ] curtis : she hired me to do a job for her . i 'll be right back . you 're lucky . um , i 'm just the man for the job . i 've changed more tires than i care to remember . hayden : curtis . i 'm so happy you 're here . jordan : thank you . andré : wow . that was quite the sight , watching you do your job up close and personal . i got to admit -- you and your former partner make quite the team . jordan : well ... stick with me . it 's always an adventure . andré : yeah . you 're telling me -- never a dull moment . but then again , i 'd be excited if it was just the two of us in a room . why do n't we try that again ? jordan : just ... the two of us in a room no criminal elements whatsoever . andré : exactly like that . jordan : i make a mean coq au vin . andré : ahh . then i can bring a bottle of my bordeaux blanc . jordan : ohh . see , now , dr. maddox , i think you just officially invited yourself to my home , where there will be no interruptions whatsoever , criminal or otherwise . [ scene_break ] hayden : i need to leave port charles by yesterday . curtis : what ? did somebody find out that you were rachel berlin ? hayden : you know ? curtis : i did some investigating before i took your case . if i were in your stilettos , i 'd want to bounce , too . hayden : yeah , well , i should have known it could n't last . and now i 've lost everything all over again , including the man i love beyond reason . curtis : not necessarily . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i love her . you know , all those feelings i have -- they did n't just go away the moment you told me her real identity . elizabeth : even after you found out she was trying to manipulate you into signing away your control of elq ? nikolas : look , i 'm not saying that i trust her , because i do n't . i never have , really . look , i went into this relationship eyes wide open . i know what hayden 's capable of , but that did n't stop me from falling for her . i ca n't just shut my feelings off . [ scene_break ] tracy : as luck would have it , i ended up in the same resort as your father . yep . that was just my luck . and lord ashton decided to share some ... [ sighs ] local delicacies with me . i was ... moderately impaired at the time , and apparently , the delicacies had worms . those worms have now taken up residence in my brain . and if the treatment that dr. finn has put me on was n't started soon enough ... it could kill me . dillon : i 'm sorry , ned . i did n't want to tell you all of this over the phone . tracy : i have a deathbed wish . dillon : mom , you 're not going to die . ned : you 're not going to die . tracy : i -- i do n't want to die . but just sit down , let me get this out . [ sighs ] if i thought the two of you could get away with it , i would have both kill your respective fathers . in lieu of that ... get elq back . please . get back the family legacy . [ scene_break ] jason : nikolas might have been bright enough to steal elq , but he did n't see hayden coming . and if she 's able to manipulate him and gain control of the company -- well , let 's just say for the sake of the quartermaines , i 'm not gon na let that happen . sam : wow . it almost sounds like you 're fighting for your family . jason : okay . look , i do n't know . somewhere in the middle of tracy 's delusion that i was her father , i got a sense of who the quartermaines really are , and whether i like it or not ... i 'm one of them . sam : yes , you are . and i know you do n't remember them , but your grandfather and your father would be really , really happy to hear you say that . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's not easy for me to forgive . my first instinct is to get revenge , but sometimes that 's sloppy and wasteful and ... expensive . anna : so , forgiveness is a practical solution , right ? sonny : sometimes . anna : do you think duke ever learned that lesson ? he 'd still be alive , you know , if he had n't joined forces with you to take down julian . sonny : julian threatened your life . duke went after him to protect you . you know that , right ? anna : i do , yeah . but i told him that i did n't want to be protected if it meant that he had to go back into the mob . sonny : well , he went anyway because a man will do anything for the woman he loves when she 's threatened . anna : i know . i wish to god you turned him away . sonny : so do i . he died working for me ... so i feel responsible . anna : [ inhales sharply ] you know ... when griffin was talking to me about forgiveness , he suggested that ... i forgive myself . maybe you should consider doing that yourself . sonny : i never thought i 'd hear you say that . i appreciate that more than you know . [ scene_break ] ava : is this my ideal situation ? no . absolutely not . but you need money , and i need protection . you 're being evicted , and i want desperately to live in my own home . so , no , this is n't exactly a marriage made in heaven , but it 's not a shotgun wedding , either . scott : whoa . what are you talking about , wedding ? i mean , there 's no vows going on here . ava : you know something ? you could do a lot worse than me . scott : and you could do a lot worse than me . ava : so ... have we got a deal ? scott : pay my bill . ava : [ chuckles ] consider it done . [ scene_break ] hayden : it 's only a matter of time before the world finds out i 'm rachel berlin and descends on me . besides , without nikolas and spencer , what do i have here ? curtis : you have me . why is it so hard for you to consider us as friends ? if you left town , i 'd miss you . and when did you become a quitter ? you 're a gambler . you got an ace in the hole . you got actual proof that your husband tried to kill you . now , if you 're smart and very , very careful , you can play that card to get whatever it is you really want .

[ scene_break ] curtis : and besides , you know , the same thing could happen in another town . unless you get some crazy - ass reconstructive surgery . why would you want to do anything to that pretty face ? hayden : you think i 'm pretty ? curtis : your whole life is tore up and in shambles , and that makes you smile ? hayden : it 's been a few days since anyone said anything nice to me . curtis : well , look , i do n't know rachel berlin , but i think i know hayden barnes . she fights fire with fire , preferably without getting shot this time . but come on . stay in town . go back to that island castle you love so much and be a queen . hayden : you 're right . you 're right . i mean , the best part about being down is there 's nowhere to go but up . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i should go . i 'm not gon na go back to wyndemere in case hayden is still there . the boys are with gram , so i 'm just gon na stay there for the night . are you gon na be okay ? nikolas : look , if the boys are -- if they 're all settled with audrey ... would you mind just staying ? elizabeth : here ? with you ? nikolas : i just really do n't want to be alone right now . elizabeth : yes . yeah , of course , i 'll stay .

[ scene_break ] carly : so this was a test ? you put on the big show that you slept with alexis , what , to pay me back , is that it ? jax : you 're the one who jumped to conclusions . carly : and you milked it for all it 's worth ! oh , i get it -- if i got jealous , it proved i loved you , right ? jax : do n't you ? [ scene_break ] robin : oh -- alexis : excuse me . nikolas : alexis -- alexis , wait -- wait . let me explain . alexis : what you do in the privacy of your own home is really none of my business . robin : well , no , ma'am . maybe we should explain . nikolas : yeah , i think that would be good . robin : because people are bound to find out sooner or later . um -- nikolas : right . um -- robin : after the -- after the cross -- the hostage crisis -- nikolas : yeah , it 's -- look , we 've been friends for a long time and -- and -- alexis : you know , relationships can spring up in the most unlikely places . so , um , if you 're both happy , who am i to disagree ? nikolas : thank you . thank you for not judging us . and i 'm sure it wo n't be easy for emily to -- to know , or -- robin : or patrick . nikolas : yeah . alexis : i 'm not here to spy on you guys , really . i 'm -- i 'm here to -- to ask you if kristina and i can come back later and pick wildflowers . she needs to do that for her science project -- you have that nice grove out there . nikolas : of course , of course . you can pick all the flowers you like . alexis : okay . thanks . so i 'll be back later with kristina . nikolas : okay . [ robin sighs ] james : oh , dear , oh , dear . bloody hell , you 're going to have to do better than that if you want to convince the world that you 're in love . [ scene_break ] patrick : do you need a consult ? let me take a look . ahem . wow . wow . this is a lot worse than i thought , this is going to take some time . how about dinner tonight ? kelly : this would n't have anything to do with robin moving in with nikolas cassadine , would it ? patrick : robin has her life and i have mine . so what do you say ? kelly : six months ago i would 've jumped at the invitation . now , i 'm wondering if this is a temporary fight and you and robin will reconcile by dinner time . patrick : i can say with total conviction -- no . kelly : you are way too casual about this . patrick : and you are way overanalyzing . kelly : robin is a good friend . we 've worked together , and for a time we lived together , so i had a front - row seat when you and robin fell in love . you fell hard , which means that you 're rebounding higher than a super ball and i 'd be a fool to be the next girl to get involved with you . p.a . announcer : dr. kelly lee , call -- patrick : i thought you were up for a challenge . kelly : i 'm flattered . and if you honestly believe you 're interested in me , you 're lying to both of us . [ scene_break ] jax : admit it -- come on , you still love me . carly : stop changing the subject -- you let me think you slept with alexis . jax : you barged into my apartment without calling ahead . carly : i did n't think i had to call ahead . obviously , i was wrong . jax : why ? did you think that i 'd just be waiting for you there ? you know , for you to throw me a bone ? instead , you found me comforting a friend , okay , a friend . and now all of a sudden i 'm a lying , cheating snake -- and this from a woman who slept with and then -- and then married her ex - husband while we were supposedly engaged . carly : funny how every conversation comes right back to that , huh ? jax : well , it 's a little hard to overlook . carly : really ? no matter how many times i tell you that i am over sonny , i 'm not going back to sonny , but you 're not buying it , is that it ? jax : i told you this before -- i 'm willing to try . carly : really ? playing games is n't trying . pretending you slept with alexis is n't trying . jax : well , would it be better if i slept with alexis , is that what you 're saying ? would it have been okay if i did that ? what ? carly : what are we doing ? why are we doing this ? carly : we have to give up -- with everything i did with sonny . i mean , come on , jax . how do you have any faith in me , how do you have any trust in me -- this long rivalry you have with sonny ? i mean , come on ? jax : i do n't care about sonny . all i care about is us . carly : and you know what 's going to happen ? this is going to turn into a vicious cycle . you are going to punish me , i am going to retaliate , and we are going to wind up hating each other and you know that . jax : no , i just -- i ca n't see that happening . carly : love is the flipside of hate -- i know that from personal experiences . the best thing to do is just to end it right now . just end it . jax : well , i do n't agree . but if that 's the way , you know , you honestly -- if that 's the way you really honestly feel ? carly : i think we should stay away from each other . jax : okay , fine , fine -- after tonight . [ scene_break ] scott : slow down a second . we got to settle a few things . skye : lorenzo is struggling to navigate his life in bit pieces . i should think you , of all people , would get that , jason . he does n't know who he can trust , he does n't know who his enemies are . jason : you should take him and your daughter and leave town instead of trying to run a business that you had no experience with . skye : just until lorenzo recovers , okay ? we just need a little more time , just -- sonny will listen to you . just get him to back off . jason : i 'm sorry , i have no reason to protect alcazar . skye : you heartless bastard . we 're family . jason : not about this . [ scene_break ] sonny : your hiding behind skye does n't bother you ? you 're such a two - face coward that you do n't care that the mother of your child is in danger . lorenzo : i do n't even know what you 're talking about . sonny : you got her running your business , a situation you can exploit by pretending that you have this brain damage . but you know what ? i could be wrong , you know ? not even you would do something so cowardly . you are a man , you got pride . you would n't want skye to take all the risks , you know , to live in fear of herself and the baby . hmm -- i mean , you know , like , you would n't want to disgrace your family or spit on the memory of your father and your brother , luis , now , would you ? lorenzo : you should leave my father and my brother out of this . sonny : if you are using the woman you love as a decoy , your brother and your father would want me to put a bullet in your head . as a matter of fact , they would want me to finish the job because they would n't want their memory stained by you being such a coward . lorenzo : shut up ! [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , you wanted a cover story , we gave it to you , but it 's going to take time for people to believe it . robin and i are both in love with other people and our family and friends know it . they 'll be suspicious . james : then you need to be a little more convincing . i gave you ample warning that your aunt was coming over , and all you could give me is a lackluster snog on the couch . nikolas : she believed what she saw . james : you hope . robin : look , we 're doing the best that we can . if people do n't believe us , then it 's not our fault . james : you see , i need to create a new identity so i 'm able to do business with cassadine holdings as a front . you two are a necessary part of my plan , therefore i need the world to believe that robin came to wyndemere by choice . the logical explanation is that you 're both in love . so why do n't you throw yourselves into it , be enamored with each other , show passion ? and if , in the process , you genuinely fall in love with each other , consider it my gift to both of you . robin : nikolas , you have to stop antagonizing him . nikolas : robin , i cheated on emily once , it broke her heart . how -- how could i do it again for whatever reason ? robin : look , i do n't like this any more than you do , but this is the best way to keep you alive right now . nikolas : have you had any progress on finding a counteragent to the poison ? robin : no . i 'm sorry , i do n't know when or even if that will happen . so for right now , we have to play along with craig and make everyone believe -- even patrick and emily for their protection -- [ robin sighs ] robin : that we 're in love .

[ scene_break ] jax : the museum board is -- they were having their cocktail party at the cosmopolitan hotel , and apparently too many people rsvp 'd , which -- it was just badly organized . anyway , now they 're having it at the ballroom at the metro court . carly : i hope you charged them extra for booking at the last minute . jax : well , the point is we 're the co - owners of the hotel , and we need to attend the function to -- you know , to prove that it 's safe to go back in the metro court . um , you know , if we do n't show , it just -- it sends the wrong message , and i 'm not going by myself , so you 're going to have to come . carly : nice try . i 'm not buying any of it . jax : you -- [ scene_break ] lulu : my mother is in shadybrook because of you . scott : listen , listen , come on , you 're just parroting your father here . lulu : oh -- you put my mom through hell and it shattered her mind , so do n't tell me that we have stuff to settle . i do n't want to hear anything that you have to say , because it 's all lies . scott : but if you 're after revenge , let me assure you that payback is a very bad idea . [ scene_break ] sonny : drop the act , alcazar . come after me like a man ! lorenzo : i hate you . and i hate that you 're getting away with this . milo : you okay , boss ? sonny : yeah , i 'm fine . skye : lorenzo , you should n't be here . lorenzo : he threatened you . i could n't let him get away with that . skye : lorenzo 's just a little confused . he 's -- he 's recovering from a brain injury . lorenzo : skye -- sonny : alcazar 's getting in the way , he 's going to have to be removed . skye : how can you be so heartless , sonny ? you yourself went through a difficult time last year . at least -- at least you could wait till he 's well enough . sonny : if you 're looking out for his best interest , that means you 're going to be part of the problem . skye : what happened to your almighty code that said you 're not supposed to hurt women ? sonny : you remember faith rosco ? skye : i 'm only trying to protect lorenzo . sonny : okay , you know what ? you chose to get involved in this business . do n't come here pleading that you 're a woman and he 's damaged goods . if you are giving orders in alcazar 's name , then i am sorry to say , but you are making yourself a target .

[ sonny sighs ] tell me everything that happened with the fbi . jason : all right , rayner came to my apartment , and he basically told me that i had to wear the wire to the meeting . it turned into a choice between spinelli , who does n't really deserve to go to prison , and -- sonny : and me , who has . why did you decide to warn me ? jason : well , because i did n't want you to say anything incriminating before i could wreck the wire . sonny : you know what i 'm asking . jason : i would never give you up to the fbi , sonny . i wore a wire so i could stall rayner . i knew spinelli was trying to destroy some evidence . so when you gave me the look at the meeting -- sonny : mm - hmm . jason : i shoved ric . ric dumped a drink all over me , and then we wrecked the wire . sonny : did rayner figure it out ? jason : yeah , he figured it out . that 's why he called me into his office . he figured out that i had warned you , so he brought spinelli in . he tried to arrest me , he tried to arrest spinelli , but by that time , the evidence was gone . sonny : so the weirdo spinelli was good enough to beat the feds . jason : yeah , not by himself . he had the help of another fbi agent and sam . anyway , rayner was n't happy , to say the least , but without the evidence , he had to cut us loose . sonny : well , you know what the problem is here , though ? spinelli is just too involved , and i 'm going to tell you why . jason : all right . sonny : i 'm going to tell you why . i know he has great skills and everything , but he does n't -- you know , he just does n't act like the normal human being , and he wanders around . he babbles . nobody understands what he 's saying , and it 's like he 's living in his own fantasy world . and you 're giving him enough access to get near things he should n't get near . he 's going to do something incriminating one day , and i ca n't have my enforcer under the thumb of the fbi . jason : i 'm making arrangements right now . sonny : what kind ? jason : well , spinelli wants to open a p.i . agency with sam . i think he 's going to be good at it . it 's going to keep him busy . i 'm going to make sure that he stays out of trouble . sonny : p.i . agency ? i ca n't have your focus split . i need somebody around me at all times that i can trust . jason : well , then maybe it 'd be easier to get rid of claudia .

[ scene_break ] sonny : actually , claudia 's turned out to be a valuable asset . it was her idea for the party . it turned out exactly the way she said it would , solidifies my position , and she risked her life to side with me . i ca n't just turn around and dump her . jason : it 's your call . sonny : it 's your call , right ? you 're saying that because you do n't want to argue with me , but you think i 'm dead wrong . sonny : how many women have i been with my whole life ? how many women have been hurt because of me ? claudia -- look , she lived in this world . she knows the business side of it , the risks , and you know , we like , you know , a lot of the same things . jason : come on . are you sure about that ? sonny : i told you in life you pay for what you do . i 'm not going to ever have happily ever after . you know what i 'm going to have ? the life i deserve , the wife i deserve . jason : see , but i know you . if you 're staying with claudia to punish yourself for michael , he would n't want that . sonny : i tried , jason , at a different kind of life with kate , and that did n't work out . i tried a second chance at something that i had n't earned yet . and who paid for my arrogance ? not -- not me . michael . jason : yeah , well , we 're all responsible for what happened to michael . [ sonny pours a drink ] sonny : that 's a good one . he was with me that night . nothing can change that . i 'm going to carry that with me the rest of my life . i 'm trying very hard to come to terms with that . how long has it been since michael was shot ? a year now ? and i felt like i slept through that whole period , the anger -- sonny : you know what ? i 'm seeing clearly now , and i 'm going to do things differently , like i did n't do before . jason : i mean , is this because of the new procedure ? sonny : no , no , no , no . i 'm going to work real hard at finding out who shot my son . sonny : i want you to get whatever you can about the night he was shot , any piece of information you have on that son of a bitch ian devlin before you blew him away . prove to me that he acted alone and that there 's nobody else responsible . [ scene_break ] carly : i can tell there 's still something on your mind . jax : no . carly : did you not hear a word i said ? i just had the revelation of my life . i thought you were hanging on to every word . jax : no , no , of course , i heard every word . that 's -- you 're absolutely right . the best way to honor michael is to live life to the fullest . come on . carly : hey . goodbye , sweetheart . i love you . mommy will be back soon . carly : oh , my god . | nikolas continued to be supportive of rebecca , even offering to take her home to wyndemere . sonny came knocking on claudia 's bedroom door . ric was still passed out in her bed so claudia dumped ric onto the floor and answered the door . she then put sonny off temporarily and called on johnny for help . johnny and maxie ( on their way to a club opening ) came to the corinthos house and snuck ric ( still unconscious ) out . claudia tried to keep sonny busy with the promise of sex but jason interrupted . maxie and johnny managed to drop ric at the hospital without being seen . lulu and spinelli got word that maxie and johnny never got to the club opening . lulu called maxie out on lying about going to the club opening . when carly arrived at the hospital to see michael , jax was there . on her way out , carly saw michael 's hand move . when he regained consciousness , ric assumed it was claudia who drugged him and told her she would live to regret it . |
michael : you tried to rape abby . there is no way in hell she 's dropping charges . brandon : listen , buddy , this goes to court , it could get real ugly , for you and your brother . abby : it does n't matter how your lawyer tries to twist the facts around . no jury is gon na believe that michael attacked you unprovoked . brandon : yeah ? you willing to bet your boyfriend 's freedom on it ? abby : you put me in the hospital , brandon . that 's proof that michael was trying to protect me . brandon : last chance . end this or you will regret it . michael : i 'm not afraid of threats from a coward who hits women . brandon : abby likes it rough . do n't you , babe ? abby : michael , do n't . that 's exactly what he wants . [ scene_break ] dante : you saw the suspect list on my desk and you saw your dad 's name on it . you never thought there was any chance he could have done it ? lulu : of course not . i thought it was a mistake . i did n't think there was any way that my dad would hit a kid and keep on driving . i was so sure that it was someone else , i did n't even consider it , because something like that would tear my family apart and it has . [ scene_break ] sonny : jake 's death was n't your fault . it was dark out , you -- you know , nobody could have seen him standing there . luke : i 'm responsible for that little boy 's death . sonny : jake 's death was an accident . losing a child is the hardest thing for a parent to go through . they 're gon na try to put blame on anybody . so what i 'm telling you is , maybe it would be best to take off for a little while . luke : i 'm not running from jason , sonny .

[ abby crying ] [ scene_break ] dante : after michael went to prison , i never thought my family would forgive me for the part i played in sending him there . but ... we were able to repair the damage . and i think given time , lucky and luke will be able to do the same thing . lulu : that was different . no one died . dante : that 's true . and , unfortunately , if luke had been drinking before he got behind the wheel of his car -- lulu : it was dark . no one would have seen jake . this is more than just about jake . lucky had a very strong bond with my parents when he was young , and then when he got older , something changed between him and my dad . and it was a very hard time for us . and back then i did n't think that they would get past it . and now this . lucky 's not gon na be able to look at my dad without thinking of losing his son . [ scene_break ] sonny : what jason is going through right now is as raw as it would have been if he had raised jake himself . now , i 'm one of the few people who told jason not to give up jake . not that it 's lucky 's fault at all , 'cause it 's nobody 's fault , and jason will realize that sooner or later . i just believe that it would be good for you to give him some space . luke : yeah , i can understand , believe me . well , jason was here . told me the only reason he did n't blow my brains against the back wall was michael . i 'm not so sure that i 'm grateful for the reprieve . sonny : a 4-year - old boy on the road is an accident bound to happen . you were just the luck of the draw . that 's all . i mean , you got ta see it that way . luke : i appreciate you trying to spin that for me , pal . it 's , uh , kind of you . but then of course you 've had a drink , and they keep telling me that when you have a drink , you do n't think clearly , you do n't say things clearly , you do n't do things clearly . sonny : luke . there were a lot of cars on the road that night . if jake had wandered off a few minutes earlier , i could have been the one that hit him . like i said , luck of the draw . you ca n't -- you ca n't blame yourself . luke : of course i can blame myself , sonny . i 'm responsible . i hit the kid . [ scene_break ] steve : is everything okay ? lisa : yeah . i 'm just busy . with all the cutbacks , there never seems to be enough bodies to handle the workload . not that i 'm complaining . i realize how lucky i am to still have a job here , despite robin 's many attempts at getting me fired . thank you again for staying impartial . steve : nothing became of the latest allegations that were made so far , which is why you 're still on staff . but if you ever let your personal life interfere with patient care again , you 'll be gone . and no amount of grandstanding or shifting the blame is gon na save you . lisa : all i want is for what happened between patrick and i to be behind me . maybe now that their marriage is on track , robin will dial down the paranoia and i can get my life back . steve : that sounds reasonable . lisa : you do n't believe me . steve : you 're getting pretty good at telling people what they want to hear .

[ scene_break ] luke : when i found out i was on the suspect list , i was so sure i was n't the guy who hit jake that all i could think of is , what other cars did i see on the road that night ? i just wanted to help the cops find this guy . how 's that for irony ? sonny : if you were guilty , you 'd be in a cell . luke : if they could prove i was drunk , i would be behind bars . see , that 's the fine line , the distinction that lucky ca n't grasp . sonny : he 'll come around . he loves you , you know that ? luke : yeah , and what has it given him ? i killed the kid that he raised . and he thinks it 's because of my drinking . and jason thinks it 's because of my drinking . and my wife was in here , and she thinks it 's because of my drinking . it 's like this greek chorus , you know , `` jake would be alive if you did n't pick up a glass ! `` sonny : okay , jake died because you -- a 4-year - old was on the road . you could n't see him . luke : why are you trying so hard to spin this for me ? sonny : because i 've been there . not exactly , but i 've been close enough to feel the heat . luke : and what would you say if i 'd hit your son . sonny : i 'd kill you . luke : get in line . sonny : okay , wait , wait , wait , wait here . lucky and jason are mourning the loss of a child . with that kind of grief , you ca n't even -- it 's not even worth talking about . but as soon as they -- they -- they have time to process the pain and everything else , they 'll see this for what it is ... an accident .

[ scene_break ] [ luke sighs ] sonny : losing a child ... is the worst pain imaginable . i mean , you know , it 's like the guilt that you feel , the whole -- that 's hell in itself . as you know , michael ... was in a coma for almost a year 'cause he took a bullet that was meant for me . and i used to pray to god every night that if my son came through this that , you know , that he would n't have to suffer for my sins . well , guess what . he has . i do n't want to get into that right now , but , uh , no one should have to carry that , especially if it 's undeserved . luke : i know you 've caused your share of grief and damage , and -- and you 've paid for it as well . but your son is here . lucky 's is gone . and i do n't have no god to bargain with . that kid ai n't coming back . sonny : you deal in facts ? luke : always have . sonny : well , the fact is , anybody could have been driving past elizabeth 's house that night and hit jake . it was a terrible accident . a terrible accident . you got ta stop blaming yourself , is what i 'm saying to you . luke : look , i really appreciate your attempt at absolution here . but the truth is i killed a child . i did that . [ scene_break ] dante : we 'll call the d.a . , we 'll find the problem , we 'll fix it . michael : do n't bother . there 's no point . dante : no , there is . maybe i can convince the judge to revoke brandon 's bail . abby : no , that 'll only make brandon more upset . dante : look , he 's going to jail . bail is just a technicality . abby : brandon hired a lawyer . if the case goes to trial , he 's threatening to twist things around and make it look like michael attacked him for no reason . if the jury believes brandon 's version , you and michael both stand to lose a lot . lulu : what does dante have to do with this ? michael : dante was the arresting officer . brandon 's gon na claim there was a cover - up . dante falsified reports so i would n't go back to pentonville . lulu : that 's ridiculous . dante : it 's the only way brandon can get sympathy on the stand . but it does n't matter , because the victim 's testimony is the only thing that matters , okay ? it overshadows everything else . you get up on the stand and you tell the jury exactly what happened . abby : i 'm not testifying . i 've already decided i 'm dropping the charges . dante : abby , do not let this guy scare you off . you have a case . you 're gon na win . this guy will not walk . michael : there was no chance he 'd make bail either .

johnny : forget about the name of the cop . in fact , stay out of this whole thing ! anthony : fine . you deal with the cop . just do n't close the door on this thing with kate . johnny : i already have . anthony : then open it again . it never hurts to have a backup plan , a little insurance in case things do n't go the way you expect . johnny : i do n't need to sleep with kate . sonny 's gon na be convicted of this accident that killed those two people , and he 'll go away for 20 years , if he even lives that long . anthony : where are you going ? johnny : out . anthony : whoa . we need to talk about how you 're gon na keep me safe from sonny ! i 'm a key witness at this trial you 're putting so much faith in . johnny : you 'll survive . you always do . and by the time i come back , i want you gone . anthony : what ? you do n't want me around the next time carly shows up ? johnny : i do n't want you around , period . anthony : something to keep in mind , john . it takes a clear head to stay on top in this business . it 's very easy to make a mistake when you 're thinking with the wrong part of your anatomy . carly : why are you listening to sonny ? you know how paranoid he is , especially about johnny . jason : sonny thinks johnny framed him for killing a kid , carly . carly : okay , i do n't know if anyone told you about what happened at the benefit . johnny showed up drunk , made a scene . sonny retaliated by telling everyone there that claudia was really johnny 's mother . johnny took off , and i went after him . jason : why -- why would you go after him ? carly : 'cause i felt bad . jason : oh . carly : it 's my fault that everyone knows the truth about claudia . jason : do n't tell me you 're feeling sorry for johnny . carly : i went to his car . he showed up a few minutes later . he said that he had been walking on some ledge and that 's what he does when he 's upset . jason : and this is the same time sonny got shot . carly : he did n't do it , okay ? i -- i was there . i - i talked to him for a long time , and -- and then we went back to his apartment , and i was cold 'cause it was freezing , and i took a shower . jason : y - you took a shower ? carly : then i came down , and sonny was there . he was there . he was bleeding . he had johnny at gunpoint . i mean , if i was n't there , sonny would have killed johnny . jason : well , maybe johnny framed sonny for payback . carly : no . dante showed up and -- and sonny -- they left , and it was the end of that . it was over , okay ? jason : a - and you know this because ? carly : [ sighs ] because i spent the whole night with johnny , all right ? there it is ! jason : [ sighs ] carly : sonny 's right ! i guess i 'm sleeping with the enemy ! jason : no . not anymore . whatever you had going on with johnny , it 's over . sam : thank you . ms. tanaka : from what i can see , susan moore gave birth to a healthy baby boy -- seven pounds , two ounces . there does n't seem to be anything remarkable about his birth . sam : seems like standard birth records to me . ms. tanaka : you can see susan moore 's medical history listed on the next page . sam : okay . everything seems to be -- wait a minute . ms. tanaka : is there a problem ? sam : yeah . it -- it says `` page three of three . `` there 's only two pieces of paper . page two is missing . why ? what would be on page two of these birth records ? ms. tanaka : i assume it would have more specifics about the birth -- names of the attending staff , next of kin . sam : i mean , why would that be missing ? ms. tanaka : clerical error . sam : or someone did it on purpose . ms. tanaka : [ chuckles ] no records - management system is perfect . things get misplaced , dropped , lost , especially with old files that have been moved in and out of drawers over the years . sam : ah ! look at that ! there was another staple there . that means somebody took out a page and then re - stapled it . ms. tanaka : at least you found the medical history you wanted . sam : please , is there any way to retrieve the information from the missing page ? carly : are you seriously trying to tell me who i can and ca n't see ? jason : johnny would do anything to hurt sonny , even use you . carly : okay , there 's no possible way that johnny could be attracted to me without wanting to punish sonny . jason : i think that johnny could like you and want to screw sonny over at the same time . carly : i can make my own decisions without having to have advice from you and sonny . i 'm a big girl , jason . so -- so if i get hurt or i get used , it 's my problem , okay ? jason : carly , you 're gon na be stuck in the middle , and that 's a bad place to be . carly : i do n't care ! i like seeing johnny , and i 'm not gon na stop ! jason : do n't tell me you 're falling for him . steven : you do realize blackmailing a mobster 's probably not the best idea , right ? olivia : it 's a whole hell of a lot better than getting blackmailed by one . steven : you should n't be involved in this . olivia : but i am . steve , i am , so can we just skip the lecture ? steven : thank you for doing this for me . olivia : [ sighs ] honey , i just want you to be able to put everything that happened in memphis behind you forever . steven : from now on , i am only gon na look at what 's in front of me . olivia : [ sighs ] johnny : aw . love is in the air , huh ? even for doctors who kill their own patients . steven : what the hell do you want ? johnny : i heard you took a trip to memphis recently , right ? olivia : yeah , and it 's over . the board cleared steve of all wrong - doings . johnny : yeah , but we know better , do n't we ? olivia : yeah , and we also know that if you do n't keep your mouth shut , i 'm gon na go to the cops and i 'm gon na tell them that you are harboring a material witness in a murder case . johnny : you do n't read the papers much anymore , do you ? see , anthony 's not hiding out with me anymore . he turned himself in , so , uh -- looks like i got my leverage back , huh ? ewen : how did this happen ? when ? yes , i understand . thank you for calling . elizabeth : what happened ? who was that ? ewen : [ sighs ] that was -- it was alexis . cassandra 's dead . elizabeth : your patient at wyndemere ? ewen : alexis -- she does n't have the details . i just -- [ fist thuds ] i just wish -- [ voice breaking ] i should n't have left her there , you know ? elizabeth : y - you did n't leave her . you told me she dismissed you , right ? ewen : i should have -- i should have confronted her . i mean , i should have -- elizabeth : y - y - you just got through saying that people need to accept truths about themselves . ewen : i 'm a doctor . i - i should have been able to help her . elizabeth : you 've been there . you 've been there for everyone , including me . and now i 'm -- i 'm gon na be here for you if -- if you need someone . dante : i found the gun . i arrested sonny . i - i followed procedure right down the line . delores : i 'm just saying , it 's hard to stay objective when you 're so close to the suspect . ronnie : it would be disrespecting the badge to protect someone just because they 're your family . delores : i 'm headed to the evidence room . do you want me to take those for you ? lulu : yeah . thank you . delores : no problem . ronnie : am i the only one getting a bad vibe ? lulu : you okay ? dante : yeah , whatever . she 's saying what all these other guys are thinking , that sonny being my father 's pretty much the definition of conflict of interest . but i - i - i -- this is all a job in my investigation . i got nothing to hide . lulu : i 'm talking about sonny . the case seems pretty strong . dante : this case is all circumstantial except for anthony 's testimony saying he saw sonny in his rearview mirror . i mean , t - that 's crap . a - alexis will tear him apart on the stand . lulu : are you counting on that ? dante : you asking me if i want sonny to be innocent ? yeah . but more importantly , i want the truth . lulu : well , all the evidence points in one direction . dante : yeah , but something about this case is bothering me . there 's something i 'm not seeing , a piece that 's missing . sonny : johnny 's a desperate man . he knew the best way to get to me was through you . kate : what did he say to you about it ? sonny : nothing i believe . kate : can we just not -- talk about it ? [ container clinks ] kate : i just do n't want to talk about any more violence or johnny or any of that stuff . sonny : i 'm sorry . kate : i - i -- what are you sorry for ? sonny : because you should not be dragged into this . he only planted the gun in here because he knew that i 'm in and out of your office . kate : what if johnny did n't plant the gun ? what if johnny did n't do it ? sonny : well , if he did n't , who did ? kate : i 'm just saying that there might be someone else who 's willing to frame you , who wants you out of the way . sonny : i - i do have enemies but none are in the position to set me up . only johnny . kate : what if someone 's using johnny as a cover ? sonny : you defending him now ? kate : no ! i 'm not defending him , sonny . i want him out of our lives . i just -- want you to be careful . sonny : okay , listen to me , all right ? [ cell phone ringing ] sonny : someone tried to kill anthony , and he tried to set me up , and they failed at both , which tells me there 's nothing johnny can do to me . it 's alexis . kate : okay . go ahead . sonny : all right . [ door opens ] ewen : oh , elizabeth , you do n't have to do that . elizabeth : stop it . i 'm not going anywhere . ewen : all my life , i 've wanted to help people explore what 's inside them . should have been able to guide cassandra through her problems . what does that say about me as a psychiatrist that i could n't ? elizabeth : i know what it says about you as a man . that you care so much . ewen : should have been able to help her . elizabeth : sometimes we lose our patients , and that 's never easy . but it 's important that we remember how many people we do help . just like you helped me . [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] ewen keenan . kate : do you think connie could have left the gun in my office ? ewen : take a deep breath and tell me what 's going on . elizabeth : i 'll be over here . kate : i can not live with this , okay ? i ca n't live with not knowing . do you think that -- do you think that connie would use a gun ? ewen : when i asked her about the gun , connie was deliberately evasive . kate : so the gun could have been mine ? c - connie 's ? ewen : it 's possible . kate : [ sighs ] no . johnny : so , do we understand each other ? hey . right here . you know what you got to do ? steven : yeah , i know . dante : look , sonny is a lot of things , but he is not careless . he 's not gon na leave a gun in his girlfriend 's office , especially if it can be tied back to a fatal accident . lulu : okay . how do you prove he was set up ? dante : just follow the evidence and stay objective . lulu : how 's that working out for you ? dante : yeah , yeah , well , it would be great if i could get a case where i was n't connected to the suspects somehow . lulu : are we talking about delores ' husband ? dante : she 's gon na find out that we 're looking into her husband as the -- as the suspect . lulu : okay . do you think she would warn him ? dante : we need to set up an undercover op before she gets the chance . [ camera shutter clicks ] johnny : come on . cheer up , doc . working for me is not as bad as going to prison , right , and losing your license . steven : are we done yet ? johnny : yeah . as long as you realize that the board in memphis can open up your case any time new information seems to surface . [ pats arm ] good girl , delores . [ chuckles ] [ elevator bell dings ] carly : johnny and i have gotten close . and i get the guy is -- is messed up and he 's self - destructive , but -- i like him . jason : just think of all of the people who could get hurt , starting with your kids . carly : he 's not gon na hurt my kids . jason : no , you 're putting michael and morgan between their father and a guy you 're dating . that already happened with jax . you saw the damage it did . it could only be worse with johnny . carly : no ! i 'm not gon na invite him over for sunday dinner , jason ! jason : carly . go find johnny -- and end it . [ door slams ] jason : [ sighs ] sam : is there any chance there would be a duplicate copy of the birth records on file somewhere ? ms. tanaka : i 'm sorry . there really is no way to recover the information from the lost page . sam : but you said it probably listed the people present at the birth . ms. tanaka : yes , but we have no way of knowing who the obstetrician was or who was on duty that day . sam : well , you -- you know what ? i just registered for childbirth classes , and -- and they wanted me to put down the name of my birth coach , and if susan had someone present in the room with her , assisting her , it might be on file somewhere , right ? ms. tanaka : assuming she took her class at this hospital , there might be a registry . sam : okay , well , maybe you can try and find it for me ? ms. tanaka : it 's been a long time . sam : please , ms. tanaka . this is very important to me . ms. tanaka : i ca n't imagine why . sam : please . please . ms. tanaka : all right . sam : thank you . ms. tanaka : i 'll check . sam : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] sam : oh . what is it that someone does n't want me to find out ? kate : look , i need to know everything that connie knows . ewen : we need to schedule another appointment . kate : now , if connie had a gun , that means -- ewen : kate , you still there ? kate : yes . all right . [ door closes ] kate : we will -- we 'll just reschedule the meeting then . okay . sonny : everything okay ? ewen : i - i did n't mean to be rude . that was a patient . elizabeth : of course . i figured . ewen : i 'm sorry to burden you with my problems . elizabeth : that 's not a burden . you really should n't be so hard on yourself . you 're a good doctor and a good person . ewen : even after i stood you up on our date ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm over it . almost . ewen : would it , uh -- would it help you fully get over it if we tried again ? elizabeth : just so i 'm not misunderstanding , are you asking me out ? ewen : i 'd be honored if you 'd join me for dinner . i could use the company . elizabeth : i 'd love to . olivia : i 'd ask you what johnny wants from you , but i know damn well you wo n't tell me . steven : then thank you for not asking . olivia : oh , god . my great plan to fix everything just pissed him off and made it worse . steven : this is my fault . it 's my responsibility . olivia : on a scale to one to horrible , how bad is this thing that johnny 's asking you to do ? steven : [ sighs ] do n't worry . i 'll find a way out of this . johnny : [ chuckles ] things are n't looking so rosy for you , sonny . [ knock on door ] johnny : my day just got better . something wrong ? carly : jason , um -- does n't want me to see you anymore . johnny : oh . and you , uh , you never go against jason , do you ? carly : i trust him more than i trust anyone . johnny : what ? so this is goodbye ? carly : jason wo n't take advice about sam , so i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na take his advice about you .

[ scene_break ] luke : this is all my dear niece valerie 's fault . she told you that patricia was in the oak hill cemetery , but you could n't find her eternal resting place , so you ran a search , and you discovered in oak hill a convalescent hospital . bobbie : yes , we checked , and patricia is registered here . tracy : how do you even know what valerie told lulu and me ? did you threaten it out of her ? luke : i did n't have to do that . i was there the whole time .

[ scene_break ] jake : you have a point . carly : what was that ? jake : you have a point . carly : can you say that again ? i want to , um , make that my ringtone . jake : yeah , how you gon na explain that to sonny ? carly : [ chuckles ] sonny does n't pick my ringtones . and he does n't pick my friends . sorry , i wo n't ... make it a ringtone . i know that sounds like i 'm gloating , huh ? jake : it does . carly : i 'm not . at all . i - i ... i do n't think you deserve any of this . jake : yeah , well , it 's fine . here . carly : it 's not fine . it 's not fine at all . you know , sloane 's the bastard that 's taking advantage of what helena dido you . and hayden ? okay , hayden . i - i -- jake : do me a favor . please do n't start . if you start , i 'm gon na be forced to defend her , and i do n't want to fight with you . carly : okay . let 's talk about something safe , right ? let 's talk about , um , julian . what 's going on with him ? you know i 'm just gon na bug you until you tell me , so you might as well save us both time . come on . please ? jake : i start working for julian tomorrow . and sloane 's gon na want his report by the end of the day . carly : you gon na be here to give it to him , or are you gon na ... take off with hayden ? jake : i ca n't take my wife on the run . and i ca n't leave her behind , so i guess my only option is to convince hayden to stay here with me in port charles and then ... report to work . [ scene_break ] duke : you 've gone above and beyond to prove yourself not only to me , but to the organization . jordan : so , asking me to kill julian jerome was really just a test to make sure i was n't working for the feds ? duke : i 'm fully confident that i can trust you now . sloane : nowhere on this recording does lavery expressly order julian jerome 's execution . jordan : yes , but in a previous meeting , he said it in no uncertain terms . sloane : is any of that on tape ? jordan : no . sloane : then it 's useless . no da or federal prosecutor can afford to take your word alone , not given the record of success that corinthos ' people have in court . jordan : well , that is why i met with him . we were trying to get him to incriminate himself over the wire , but instead , he called off the hit . sloane : the only upshot here is that lavery believes you 're loyal . you 're still in with him . anna : unless duke 's playing us , and he 's already onto jordan . [ scene_break ] duke : jordan has put us in a difficult position . i do n't want to act hastily and make matters worse . bruce : should n't you talk this over with mr. corinthos ? duke : no . that defeats the whole purpose of me overseeing the organization . duke : `` this custody thing `` ? this custody situation could last for months , maybe years . just because michael quartermaine has managed to exert undue influence over the judge . that 's not his main charge . his main charge is that sonny is dangerous because he 's involved in organized crime . his children have been targets before . he does n't want to see his daughter in danger again . bruce : so , it has to look to the courts like he 's out of the business . duke : sonny has to have complete deniability . whatever i decide to do with jordan , and he ca n't do anything about it . bruce : so , it 's on you . duke : yes . well , as it should be . i asked to join the organization . i brought in a traitor who made us all vulnerable . i have to address the problem and , if necessary , eliminate it .

[ scene_break ] sloane : you think lavery knew about the wire ? anna : i do n't see how he could . still , we know he had reason to suspect your allegiance , right ? did you sense that he was spooked in any way ? jordan : nope . nothing , nothing . he was as cordial as ever . sloane : but if he did catch on -- jordan : then i have a bigger target on my back than ever before . [ scene_break ] duke : jordan has been with the organization since new year . i think she knows how shipments work and how we collect money . and since she 's been involved with shawn , she 's had access to privileged information . bruce : then why have n't there been any arrests ? i mean , what 's she waiting for ? duke : well , if i 'm correct and this is anna devane 's operation , then she 's being very careful . she 's being methodical . she does n't want to build a case that will be dismissed on a technicality . bruce : how much evidence do you think jordan 's turned over at this point ? duke : that 's irrelevant . if they 're gon na indict somebody , chances are it 'll be me . sonny 's been out the picture for quite a while . so they 'll need jordan as a witness . but if she 's not around to testify , then their entire case will fall apart . bruce : you need to make sure jordan ca n't testify . duke : precisely . removing jordan is the best way to ensure that we 're all protected .

[ scene_break ] kiki : elizabeth . hey . hey . i 'm glad i ran into you . i was actually gon na call you on my break . elizabeth : on your break ? wait . are you working here ? kiki : yeah . well , sort of . i 'm volunteering . i drew the late shift tonight , being a newbie and all , but i - i do n't mind paying my dues . elizabeth : i had no idea . kiki : yeah . i 'm actually considering getting certified to be a nurse 's aide . elizabeth : that would be really great . let me know if there 's anything i can do to help you . kiki : thank you . elizabeth : so , what ward are you in ? kiki : psych . elizabeth : oh , for morgan . kiki : yeah . um , when he died , i promised that i would do something -- mostly to honor him , but also to help me get over my grief . elizabeth : and your guilt . kiki : yeah . i - i thought if i helped people like him , then ... elizabeth : well , how 's it going ? kiki : it 's intense . a lot of the patients are ... a lot like morgan was toward the end . breaks my heart . elizabeth : well , i 'm sure it helps , having you around -- even if they 're unable to express it themselves . kiki : um , not to change the subject , but have you spoken to franco recently ? i 'm really worried about him .

[ scene_break ] jordan : was it worth the wait ? curtis : [ sighs ] hell , yeah . you know , i 've been waiting for that since ... the last time . jordan : [ chuckles ] really ?

[ scene_break ] kiki : ever since you guys got together , franco has been happy and upbeat , almost to the point of being annoying . but then today rolls in , and he is moody and brooding . i tried to talk to him about it , but he says it 's nothing . elizabeth : [ sighs ] kiki : so , i - i do n't know . i just hate seeing him being quiet like this . elizabeth : yeah , i know . i - i hate that , too . and he 's not returning my texts or my calls . kiki : nice to know it 's not just me . can i ask -- did you guys get in a fight or ... elizabeth : no . no , but i had to slow things down a bit , and i know he 's really upset about that . kiki : did franco do something to push you away ? elizabeth : no , he did n't do anything . kiki : then why slow things down ? i just do n't understand . elizabeth : it 's because of jason . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , wait a minute . jake said those exact words -- `` helena put a curse on sam `` ? jason : according to franco . sam : that does n't make any sense . how would he know any of that ? helena said that to us , in private , on her death bed . jason : i do n't know . maybe she put it in his head when he was living there . sam : [ groans ] great . jason : i have no idea . sam : as if he was n't freaked out enough already , now he thinks i 'm cursed , which is crazy , 'cause it 's the exact opposite . i have two healthy , beautiful kids , an amazing stepson , i have you . i have everything i could ever want . jason : yeah , so do i . sam : but peace of mind for jake . i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . what can i do to help ? jason : i just wish i knew what 's what . franco as the source ... sam : you do n't trust him . jason : do you trust him ? sam : no , never . jason : yeah , neither do i . and part of me thinks that maybe he 's just trying to make himself look important to elizabeth . sam : oh , so he could be the one to save him , he could be the one to help . well , it sounds like franco . jason : or maybe he 's just trying to get to me . sam : well , it has been a motivation in the past . but at the end of the day , franco is beside the point . [ scene_break ] nina : today , please , franco . i - i promised that i would read two chapters to charlotte . franco : okay , i do n't want to freak you out . nina : then -- then tell me why you 're here . franco : i need to talk to someone . nina : really ? i 'm your `` someone . `` that 's weird . franco : i 'm a little weird . can we talk ? nina : yeah . yeah , but just ... franco : i 'll make it quick . nina : okay . franco : i get it . um , it 's about me and elizabeth , and -- and me and her kid -- well , mostly her kid , 'cause i 'm kind of , sort of , a - a sometimes - father to the little guy . nina : wait , wait . are you -- are you kidding right now ? seriously ? really ? how self - centered can you be ? franco : what did i say ? did i -- did i do something wrong ? nina : do you get this ? do you understand ? you come over here to ask me for advice , which in and of itself is very weird , and -- and then it 's about being a father to elizabeth 's kid . franco : when i ... refused to be a father to your ... nina : yeah . you get it , right ? you get it ? franco : yes , i do . okay . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , nina . nina : it 's okay . i mean , it 's fine . if you had n't been an ass about everything , then i would n't be here . i would n't be so happy . and i am truly , truly happy in a way that i did n't even think was possible , i 'm so happy . so thank you . listen , i - i do n't like the way that you ended things , but i 'll never regret that you did it . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm sorry , but how is franco beside the point ? i think he may very well be the point . that psychopath is spending time with my son , putting god knows what into his head , and what if it 's something that jake ca n't handle ? sam : well , then we 'll help him . we 'll let him know that he 's loved and supported . but , jason , keeping the truth buried is not the way to go . jason : i agree . i told franco he should back off , and we 're gon na find a therapist -- someone with actual credentials -- to work with jake . sam : great . th - that sounds good . how 'd he take it ? jason : franco ? sam : yeah . jason : well , he took it better than elizabeth did when i told her that we might need to rethink jake 's custody agreement . [ scene_break ] franco : well , the problem is that jason hates me . nina : jason . franco : `` hate `` 's not the right word . i mean , he despises me , he loathes me , he abhors me . nina : they 're the same thing , those . franco : well , he 's threatening to take jake away from elizabeth if i do n't keep my distance , and that 's the last thing i want to do . nina : okay . well , um ... why 's that ? 'cause you 're gon na miss elizabeth or you 're gon na miss jake ? franco : both . look , if i 'm honest , jake was the reason , in the beginning , why i had a connection with elizabeth at all . but now i do n't want to live without either one of them . nina : then do n't . franco : how do i do n't ? nina : i do n't have any idea . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , jason implied that he 'd change our custody agreement if i spent too much time with franco . kiki : who is jason to say that ? elizabeth : jake 's father . kiki : this is crazy , elizabeth . you had just asked franco to move in with you ? elizabeth : literally last night . kiki : he must have been happy out of his mind . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] it was a really nice moment . and honestly , i 'd never felt closer to him . kiki : then do n't let jason come between you . elizabeth : but what am i supposed to do ? lose my son because i want to live with my boyfriend ? kiki : no . no . you -- you change jason 's mind somehow . elizabeth : i 've tried . jason and sam do not trust franco . and i do n't really blame them . he did do horrible , horrible things . kiki : before . elizabeth : yes , before , but that does n't matter to them . kiki : does n't matter that he had a brain tumor ? it does n't matter that he 's a completely different person ? does it matter to you ? elizabeth : of course , it does . i love franco , and i know with all my heart he 's a good person . and my boys are better off with him in their lives . kiki : then do n't let jason bully you like this . this is your life , elizabeth . they 're your kids . you get to call the shots , not jason . [ scene_break ] curtis : uh , too soon ? okay , just -- you know what ? you can forget i said anything . jordan : no , i do n't want to forget it . curtis : you do n't want to -- well , then why you making me sweat like this ? [ both laugh ] jordan : because it 's fun . curtis : fun ? jordan : yeah . curtis : okay , you -- you got a different definition of `` fun `` than me . jordan : [ chuckles ] let 's get out of here . curtis : yeah , let 's go . jordan : yeah . [ cell phone beeping ] curtis : no . no . no . jordan : okay , okay , okay , okay . [ groans ] curtis : [ sighs ] jordan : it 's the station . they -- they just got a call from ejm security . curtis : what 's going on ? jordan : apparently , an alarm was triggered at the floating rib ? curtis : okay , so send a few uniforms . you do n't have to do this personally . trust me , it 's probably nothing . [ scene_break ] ava : look , you got what you wanted . why do n't you just let us go ? lucy : yeah . everybody here has cooperated with you . robber : we 're finished when i say we 're finished . how 's it going over there ? chris : well , apparently , i interrupted a marriage proposal here . real romantic spot . hey , give it to me . ned : olivia . olivia , what are you -- olivia : not a chance in hell . ned : olivia , what -- do n't . do n't . olivia : he 's not getting this ring ! this ring is priceless . it was given to his grandmother by the love of her life , and now he wants to give it to me . to me . it does n't get any more special than that . chris : care factor zero , lady . hand it over ! olivia : no ! this ring -- it symbolizes commitment and hope and the faith to take that leap . ned : olivia , it 's not worth it . olivia : it is , ned . it 's worth everything . robber : there 's a problem . chris : she wo n't part ways with the big , fat rock . olivia : no ! you 're right . i wo n't . robber : take over for me , will you . that 's my brother . he 's more bark than bite . me ? [ growls ] olivia : [ yells ] ned : hey ! you want to shoot somebody ? ! i 'm right here ! robber : give me the ring now . [ scene_break ] sam : you threatened to take jake away from elizabeth ? jason : no , no . i would never keep him away from his mother . it 's just ... elizabeth seems to think that franco is good for jake . she thinks that franco is good , period . and i , for the life of me , ca n't figure out how we got here . how is franco involved with my son 's life at all ? [ sighs ] what ? sam : can i be real with you ? jason : yeah , of course . what sort of question is that ? sam : it 's just i 'm gon na be really honest right now . [ sighs ] i - i would -- i would love to trust elizabeth , okay , to think that , no matter what her faults are , she would never do anything to endanger her kids . that if franco posed a threat to one of her children , in a second , she would kick him out on his ass . jason : but you ca n't ? sam : i think she believes that . and i think , in her mind , she lives for her kids . i - i do . i think she really loves them . but , jason , let 's be real -- she 's dating franco . this guy has done so much damage to so many people in this town , i - i - including elizabeth . and to say that it 's twisted does n't even begin to cover it . and she 's with him . she -- she loves him . she 's allowing her children to be around him . she 's letting him in her home . jason : despite what everybody else around her says . sam : exactly , and she 's spent basically their entire relationship defending him , so she has a lot invested in being right about him . jason : so you 're saying she has a blind spot when it comes to franco . sam : i 'm saying that i - i think that she does n't want to be wrong about him . but that does n't matter . the important thing is trying to figure out what 's going on with jake , right ? and elizabeth said she 's committed to that ? jason : yeah , she said that . sam : okay . well , then , we need to focus on that . because a fight between you and elizabeth is the last thing jake needs right now . jason : look , i just want to find out what 's going on with my son . sam : any idea where to start and how to do that ? jason : actually , yeah . i have an idea where to start . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm hoping that once jason calms down and he realizes he was wrong to react so strongly , he 'll leave our family in peace . kiki : and what if he does n't ? if jason goes through with this whole custody thing , are you still gon na keep franco away ? elizabeth : okay , first of all , i am not keeping franco away . we 're still together . i just feel that it 's not the right timing for him to move in with me , with the situation being so volatile . kiki : is there a `` second of all `` ? elizabeth : yes . you have no idea what it 's like to be a mother threatened with losing her child . i will do anything to keep my kids with me . that 's just a fact . kiki : so you 're saying if jason told you to ditch franco , that 's what you 'll do ? [ scene_break ] franco : look , you 're in the middle of a big custody battle , right , with lulu falconeri ? nina : no , we 're not in the middle . we actually got custody of charlotte and lulu has visitation . franco : okay . well , you must have learned something from that experience . nina : it 's an entirely different situation than yours . franco : how is that a different situation ? nina : well , because valentin and i are married . we 're married to each other , and you add charlotte , and then we are a family . i 'm her stepmother . she 's my stepdaughter -- legally . i mean , no offense , but you 're nothing to jake . in the eyes of the law , you 're nothing . so , jason has all kind of legal -- franco : whoa . you are -- are -- are a genius . nina : i am ? franco : yeah . well , unless this does n't work , in which case you 're a complete idiot , but wow . nina : i have no idea what you 're talking about . franco : you want me to marry elizabeth . [ scene_break ] laura : yeah , the custody hearing was a nightmare for lulu . the outcome was just so disappointing . tracy : well , she may be disappointed , but she 's definitely not defeated . that child is nothing if not resilient . laura : oh , yes . my daughter can take care of herself . you are right about that . but i 'm still not going to go to turkey with you . tracy : fine . i do n't need you there . you 'll just slow me down . you 'll want to smell the flowers and taste all the spices . and i 'm just there to honor my father 's memory . laura : great . tracy : i 'm gon na hire a bunch of guards . laura : you 'll do what ? tracy : for security . like you said , it 's not the safest place . laura : yeah , i think that is gon na be , sort of a little in - your - face , you know ? like , i think you might want to try something a little bit more delicate . tracy : i do n't do delicate . laura : tracy , you have to try to fit in with their culture . you have to show some respect for it . these people are -- are very humble , you know ? they live very , very simple lives . somebody like you is going to be intimidating for them . tracy : huh . and what do you suggest ? laura : i suggest that maybe you could learn a little bit of turkish . tracy : there 's an app for that . laura : tracy , listen to me . you ca n't just go barging into other people 's countries with your big , beef - up entourage , waving your cell phone around . tracy : why not ? laura : oh , my god . you 're just like a bull in a china shop , are n't you ? tracy : i get things done . [ scene_break ] robber : if you 're willing to die for that thing , it must be worth a pretty penny . ned : no one is dying . robber : tell that to your fiancée . you were gon na say yes , right ? ned : olivia , please , just give him the ring . olivia : i ca n't . i ca n't do it . robber : why do n't we just do a countdown ? five ... ned : olivia . robber : ... four ... ned : olivia . robber : ... three ... two ... olivia : no ! [ gunshot ] jordan : drop your weapon . secure the scene . [ police radio chatter ] curtis : look at you -- clean , grazing shot through the arm . not bad . looks like you still got it . jordan : i 'm sorry . is it just me , or did i tell you not to come here ? curtis : it 's not just you , but when do i ever listen to your rules ? jordan : true enough . are you guys okay ? olivia : yeah , we 're okay . ned : we 're fine . olivia : i 'm just glad you got here when you did . jordan : of course . ned : your timing 's impeccable . jordan : i 'm just -- i 'm glad everyone 's okay . ned : thank you . olivia : i ca n't believe that just happened . ned : yeah . tell me about it . olivia : what were you thinking , jumping in front of me like that ? ! you could have been killed ! ned : uh , well , let 's see . olivia : ah ! ned : i was thinking that i love you and i did n't want to see you die , which was about to happen over some stupid ring . olivia : it 's not stupid . ned : come on . compared to your life ? olivia : this ring belonged to lila . granted , i never met the woman , but from everything i hear , she 's basically the patron saint of port charles . do you really want that scum to have their hands all over her engagement ring ? ned : no , but if it was a choice between that ring and your life , i choose you . olivia : why are we fighting ? ned : i do n't know . olivia : [ breathing heavily ] you almost took a bullet for me . ned : i 'd do it again . olivia : oh ! ned : i 'd do it again . but just to be clear , i 'd prefer not to , okay ? so next time an armed robber says , `` give me your things `` ... olivia : i 'll give him my things . ned : thank you . olivia : okay . ned : [ scoffs ] incredible . terrified of marriage , but a robber waving a gun in your face -- no problem . olivia : well , i was born in bensonhurst , you know . [ sniffles ] but just so you know , i was terrified , ned . when i heard that shot ring out ... i thought i 'd lost you . and everything -- my life , my future -- it just went black . i love you so much . ned : i love you , too . and i 'm really sorry about before . i - i - i 'm sorry about pressuring you into accepting this proposal . and i really -- i just -- i do n't want to wreck what we have . so , i mean , if you 're not ready for marriage , okay . it 's okay , all right ? i understand . olivia : [ chuckles ] ned : this is me ... backing off . olivia : [ laughs ] ned : what ? olivia : what the hell was i thinking ? i mean , what the hell am i waiting for -- some freakin ' angel to come flapping down and give me a guarantee that we 're gon na stay together forever ? god . it does n't work like that . i got to get out of my own way , right ? i got to stop letting my insecurities call the shots instead of my heart . ned , i love you . i ... i do n't what i would do if i never met you . i mean , i - i know ... i would have a lot of cats and dogs right now . ned : [ laughs ] olivia : but ... ned : yes , you would . olivia : ... i 'd probably never get out to the movies . [ voice breaking ] and my little boy ... he would n't have the absolute best father figure in the whole wide world . so , you can back off all you want , but you know what ? i am coming for you , baby . edward lawrence quartermaine ashton ... ... will you marry me ? ned : [ laughs ] nothing would make me prouder -- or happier . olivia : [ sniffles , chuckles ] i 'm marrying a rock star !

[ sighs ] jordan : are you all right ? ava : yeah . i mean , aside from a bruise from having a gun in my side , i 'm all right . i just want to get my things and get out of here . jordan : uh , sorry . whoa , whoa , wait . what are you doing ? ava : i 'm just gon na get my valuables . jordan : that wo n't be possible . [ scene_break ] kiki : you have a great chance at a life with franco -- an amazing life -- you , him , the boys . do n't let jason take that away from you . he is not the only one who deserves to be happy .

[ boat horn blaring ] nina : uh , the launch is here . okay , watch your step . there 's a dock . it 's -- franco : thank you . thanks for talking to me . [ scene_break ] jason : i called curtis , asked him to help do some digging so i can find out what happened to jake . maybe elizabeth and i will know how to handle it without having jake reliving it all in some stranger 's office . sam : i mean , that -- that would be ideal . jason : yeah , but highly unlikely . sam : i just -- i do n't want you to see jake going to a therapist as some sort of a threat . he 's gon na need all the help he can get right now , and sometimes talking to a stranger 's just a little bit easier , you know ? jason : i get that , and if jake needs a therapist , he 's gon na get a therapist . but i need to know what happened . i need to know how bad it got . the thought of anybody torturing my son ... sam : i know . i know . i hate it , too . but just do n't worry . we 're gon na fix this , okay ? jason : [ inhales sharply ] sam : curtis said yes ? he said he 's down ? jason : yeah , he said yes . he said he needs to start in the morning .

's murder if i tell anyone what she 's done . jax , she 's got me trapped . she just -- i mean , i was sitting by her bed in the hospital and i was thinking how much easier it would be if she just died . but it would n't even make a difference because she said that the murder weapon with my fingerprints on it would go straight to the police . god , jax . jax , i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry , i should 've told you all of this from the beginning . jax : well , that 's a given . the question is , why did n't you ? courtney : jax , come on . i wanted to tell you the truth so many times , but i -- i could n't take the risk . jax : because -- because you 're still not sure about me , are you ? courtney : jax , no -- jax : i mean , no . i mean , seriously , i ca n't think of anything else . you 'll sleep with me . you 'll even marry me . but when you 're in trouble , you still want to handle it on your own ? courtney : that is not true , jax ! jax : then why did n't -- courtney : i trust you more than anyone i have ever met . jax : then why did n't you confide in me ? courtney : because rachel threatened to hurt you or worse if i told anyone what was happening . jax : i mean , i would 've gone along with it if i had to , and maybe we would 've even come up with a way to make rachel incriminate herself . courtney : i could n't take the chance , jax . she 'd already poisoned you . that 's how you ended up in the hospital . [ scene_break ] alan : so . to what do i owe this unexpected invitation ? emily : i know you 're the hit - and - run driver that put alexis in the hospital . alan : i had been drinking more than i should and i had to get home . i 'd already lost my license once because of the drugs . and then i smashed into ric and alexis ' car and i panicked . i could just see my career going down in flames , so i -- i got out of there as fast as i could . emily : you did n't wait to see if anyone was hurt ? alan : no . i got to tell you that i was -- i was totally consumed by that . and then when i found out that it was ric and alexis , i wanted to confess , but tracy talked me out of it . emily : dad , when have you ever let tracy control your life ? alan : she told me that alexis had not been hurt , no harm had been done -- emily : but -- alan : and that if i would 've come forward , it would 've just made things worse . emily : so you let dillon push the car over the cliff instead ? alan : well , that was tracy 's idea , as well . emily : dad , you could 've stopped it . now dillon 's an accessory after the fact . alan : i know . i feel terrible about that , but it 's happened , it 's over . emily : dad , you can take responsibility for your actions . whatever the consequences , at least you 'll know you did the right thing . alan : i ca n't even begin to tell you how much you remind me of your grandmother right now .

[ scene_break ] mac : you were with sonny almost day and night since his children were kidnapped . you put yourself on the line to find them . i mean , you shared his agony when he realized michael was n't coming home . an experience like that brings people together , reese . you can use that connection to bring sonny down . reese : sonny never forgot i was a federal agent . mac : or , knowing him , that you 're a beautiful woman . reese : meaning what ? mac : sonny is more vulnerable than i 've ever seen him . i think he can be distracted into making a mistake . reese : you know , i should be insulted by that , mac . but i happen to agree with you . [ scene_break ] sonny : reese did her best to find my kids . we spent a lot of time together . i mean , i guess she saw how much i care for my children , okay , but then something changed . reese started thinking she can save me , rehabilitate me , and then when we made a move against the sandovals , she took it personally . so , you know , that makes her dangerous . [ scene_break ] reese : my heart broke for sonny because he lost his boy . he seemed so shattered , i just wanted to comfort him . at the same time that sonny was grieving for michael , he was planning to attack his enemies . i offered him a way out . he refused to take it .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you know that her life is at stake , ric , you know that . and you claim to care about here , and you need to demonstrate that . ric : no , do n't -- do n't do that to me , alexis . do n't do that to us . you 've taken this issue to court before , and since that time , sonny has abided by the custody agreement . you , on the other hand , have been testing it . alexis : i have grounds here . ric : you have been violating it outright . alexis : first of all , i have no idea what you 're talking about . second of all , there have been substantial circumstances here -- ric : i know the law , alexis , but we also know sonny , and you know if you push him he is going to push that much harder . alexis : and that 's why we should n't react ? that 's why we should allow him to do whatever he wants at all the children 's expense , because we 're afraid of inciting him ? ric : oh , what -- alexis : i have documented proof that kristina 's life is at stake . ric : are you referring to faith rosco ? she threatened all of us . do n't think for one second he 's not going to bring that up in court . alexis : why are you arguing in his favor ? ric : i am trying to keep all of this under control . alexis : it 's a little late for that . do you see what is happening -- children kidnapped , children murdered , hit - and - run , bodies on the floor in this restaurant ? ric : we do n't know that the hit - and - run had anything to do with the mob whatsoever . alan : i 'm sorry to interrupt . i need to speak to you both about the hit - and- run accident you were in . i was the one who ran into you .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : alexis , what an unexpected surprise . alexis : do n't get mad . alfred called . he 's very worried about you . he thought that i would be worried , too , because he said rebecca is here -- and i am . nikolas : i understand that you are , but there 's no need to be . brandy ? alexis : no , thank you . we 're family , right ? we 're it . we 're all we got , so we have to be able to talk to each other , tell each other anything . and i want to say this very delicately , but there is a long history of mental illness and obsession in the cassadine family . nikolas : i 'm aware of all of that . alexis : you 're aware that your father was so obsessed with your mother that he imprisoned her , right ? nikolas : alexis , i 'm a long way from kidnapping rebecca and forcing her to bear my child . alexis : nikolas , you 're following her around like a stalker . it 's making her uncomfortable . nikolas : things have changed . alexis : that 's rationalizing , which is a sign . this is a very predictable pattern , and i really do n't want to see you self - destruct . nikolas : you do n't understand . she may have breast cancer . [ scene_break ] jerry : hello , brother . i hope this finds you well . i had n't planned to be in touch so soon , but i have a bit of a confession to make . [ video fast forwards ] jerry : the truth always surfaces sooner or later . and then it occurred to me a bit late that you and carly might be profoundly affected by the information on the dvds . i genuinely had not considered that part of the experience . see , carly is the best thing that happened to you , and i hope you 're back together . [ scene_break ] [ knock at door ] jason : what did patrick say ? carly : oh , that michael moving his hand does n't mean he 's waking up , that it was a reflex , an involuntary movement . jason : okay , what do you think ? carly : i do n't know . when i left the institute , i knew . i basically fired patrick , which i feel justified in doing because i think he is all over the place with the situation with robin , and i do n't think he 's able to handle everything going on with michael . [ carly sighs ] carly : you think i 'm wrong . jason : well , i mean , do you really think he 's too emotional to make a diagnosis , or did you fire him because he did n't say what you wanted him to say ? carly : okay , i know he 's a great doctor . he is . he saved your life . i will forever be grateful . he 's also the doctor who removed the bullet from michael 's brain . he said that night michael was never going to wake up . i think he 's invested in being right . that 's what i think . jason : okay , all right . i guess that 's possible . carly : it ca n't be nothing . it can not be nothing , okay ? michael has n't moved . and two weeks after the surgical procedure , his hand moves ? jason : okay , i -- just tell me , how much did he move ? carly : he just twitched his fingers . i was across the room . i was turning off the light and shutting the door -- but what if for just that moment he woke up ? what if he just woke up ? jason : okay , what are you going to do ? carly : jax is calling a specialist , this woman named ingrid hensen . jason : i thought the test showed that michael 's not a candidate for that procedure . carly : patrick performed that test , and maybe he saw the results he wanted to see . jason : maybe that 's what you 're doing right now . [ scene_break ] lulu : i have zero interest in ethan lovett . maxie : oh , that 's why you could n't take your eyes off of him . lulu : i was shoving him out the door . he 's a lowlife and i hope my dad fires him . maxie : i think maybe you left this on purpose so the adorable ethan could bring it back to you . lulu : you are pathetic . maxie : fine . keep your little crush a secret . my lips are sealed until you become a regular at the haunted star . lulu : you 're trying to shift the focus off of you and johnny and how much time you 're spending together . maxie : that 's a job , remember ? publicity for `` crimson `` ? lulu : spare me the excuses . you are way past the call of duty . maxie : insecure much ? lulu : at least i 'm not throwing myself at someone else 's boyfriend . maxie : you know , we could do this for hours , but i have emails to return and you should probably go put that scarf away . lulu : this is n't over . maxie : hi . is spinelli okay ? he ran out after you with a really lame cover story . johnny : no , he 's suspicious , but i did n't tell him that we had to take ric to the e.r . to get his stomach pumped . you did n't say anything to lulu , did you ? maxie : no , of course not . johnny : we have to keep our mouths shut , maxie . no one can ever know . maxie : do n't worry . lulu will never find out what really happened .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] madeline : what are you talking about ? nathan : i 'm starting to think that nina 's death was n't clay 's fault . madeline : of course , it was . how can you doubt that ? nathan : clay has an alibi for the assault on the pharmacist , henry nakamura . now , if he was n't trying to shut him up , then it may be that he 's the one who killed nina . madeline : is it a credible alibi ? nathan : he was talking to a patient at the time that nakamura was injected . madeline : well , maybe the patient is lying . nathan : no , it seems that the phone records back him up , too . madeline : that does n't mean that silas did n't kill nina . maybe he put ava up to killing the pharmacist . nathan : see , from the beginning , clay has been saying that ava 's trying to frame him . now , if they were working together , why would he do that ? madeline : so people would n't think they were working together . honestly , james , you 're usually such a thorough investigator . has n't the thought ever entered your mind that -- that maybe silas ' hatred toward ava is all for show ? i 'm beginning to think he 's playing you . nathan : and was he playing me when he told me he signed that document for you ? madeline : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : monica 's always hated me , ever since jason came to work for me . even she does n't believe that , um , i would break my word to my son and shoot aj . ava : oh , sonny . you have to stop torturing yourself . sonny : how am i supposed to do that , after what i did ? how am i supposed to do that ? ava : what , exactly , did you do ? yes , you -- you broke your word to michael , but aj had it coming . he murdered connie . now , i know how much you loved her , and you will never know how sorry i am for your loss , but you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about . sonny : i was ready to kill ... aj the night connie died . i found him at the quartermaines ' . he was so drunk he could n't stand . i was -- oh , he was on his knees . i was ready to shoot him . michael and dante walked in . ava : well , it 's good -- it 's good that you did n't kill him in front of your son , the cop . sonny : no , it was n't -- it was n't dante who got through to me . it was michael . he did n't defend aj . he did n't , uh -- he just wanted me to spare his life , and i knew that if i killed that bastard that it would always be there , with me and my son . so i promised him . i gave him my word . you know what that means ? do you know what that means ? ava : sonny , it was n't your fault . aj was acting like a madman that night . sonny : i have four children . michael is the only one who grew up with me in my house . dante i met when he was a man . alexis always kept a distance between me and kristina , like carly did with morgan . [ sniffles ] michael was the only one that i taught to tie his shoes , to swim , to throw a baseball . among other things , i taught him honor . `` you have to keep your word , 'cause it 's the only thing you got , and if you do n't keep your word , you 're not a man . `` so what did i do ? i broke my word to my son . ava : sonny . it 's not as if you planned to shoot aj . and , besides ... what michael does n't know wo n't hurt him .

[ scene_break ] nathan : clay told me that he signed that document giving up his claim to nina 's money . is that not true ? madeline : it is true . he did sign it , but that does not mean that silas did n't try to kill nina 20 years ago , so he could be with his pregnant mistress . nathan : look , i know that it seems strange to consider that silas is not the one that took nina from us . all these years , we thought he was guilty . madeline : because he is guilty . james , you were a child . you -- you did n't really know silas back then . he was an opportunist who tried to drive a wedge between nina and her family , and then when he got tired of her , he just got rid of her . do n't let him try to fool you . i know the real silas clay . nathan : it 's possible that he is guilty , but it 's also possible that ava has been the guilty party this whole time and that we 've been blaming the wrong person .

[ scene_break ] sonny : michael may not know what i did , but i do . ava : i understand . sonny : [ sighs ] ava : i do . it can be painful , living with a guilty conscience . most people have done things they regret , including myself . i 'm sure it would n't surprise you to hear that i have done plenty of things i regret . sonny : it sounds like you 're talking about something specific . you got something to feel guilty about ? carly : sonny ? what are you still doing here ? ava : well , carly , i 'm still here supporting my daughter , just like sonny is here supporting his son . carly : well , your support is n't needed anymore . aj 's dead .

[ scene_break ] nelle : you know , i meant ... cranberry scones remind charlotte of her surrogate mother , claudette . it was incredibly insensitive of me . i apologize . lulu : it 's okay . [ laughs ] [ sighs ] it 's not your fault . i do n't even know why that just hit me so hard . i guess it 's because i did n't even know that charlotte likes cranberry scones . there are so many things that i do n't know about my own daughter . seemingly insignificant things -- like , does she like syrup or jelly on her pancakes ? does she prefer dolls or stuffed animals ? is she the kind of kid who follows directions while she 's playing a game , or does she just throw the directions out and flip the game board over and turn it into a playhouse ? i would know all of those things if i had been there with charlotte from the beginning . but valentin kept her from me all of her life .

[ scene_break ] franco : i did n't ask you to marry me because of jason or because of jake . i like jake . i love jake . jake 's a great kid . all three of your boys are great kids . and i would love to be a more permanent fixture in their lives . elizabeth , i 'm asking you to marry me because i love you . because i want to commit to you , to us , to the whole thing . elizabeth : you know i love you , right ? franco : well , then tell the world . commit to me . show the world that you trust me , and that you -- that you -- that you choose me over all other people . elizabeth : and i have -- i - i 've told everyone that i trust you and i choose you . and i do choose you over everyone else , including jason . but jason is jake 's father , and i really have to make an effort to get along with him . franco : yeah , okay -- jason wo n't even acknowledge that jake is having a problem , okay ? jason just wants to roll in now and call all the shots , and if he 's not careful , he 's gon na mess up jake 's life worse than ever . [ scene_break ] valentin : that 's a weird question -- `` is there a scarecrow on the island ? `` jason : well , odd or not , i 'd really like an answer . valentin : well , i want to help you out . i just -- i do n't know what you mean . jason : right , well , thanks for your help . have a good night . valentin : wait a minute . i never intended to be a father . helena cassadine stole that decision from me . and now charlotte 's the light of my life . i want you to know that everything i 've done is to keep her from helena . you come here asking for help for your son -- i understand that . so this island is mine now . but if you want to search it for scarecrows , you go right ahead . we 'll make arrangements . jason : [ inhales sharply ] well , thank you . i just might take you up on that . valentin : you might want to start with the olive grove . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , this is about jake after all . no matter what happened with helena or the meanings of those drawings , you think that jason is n't handling this well , and you would like a say in how we help jake . that 's why you want to marry me . franco : no . well , yes . yes and no . that 's the truth . look , elizabeth ... the feelings that i have for you are very real . i love you . and i love jake , too , and i do want to be his stepfather . i do want a say in how decisions are made , and i want to -- i want to make sure this kid gets everything that he needs . jake 's in a little bit of trouble right now , right ? elizabeth : and i know my son 's in trouble . i know that . but no matter what , jason is jake 's father , and i have to take into account his wishes . franco : you want me to keep my distance from jake ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] for now . [ scene_break ] sam : you know what , mom ? alexis : [ sighs ] sam : sometimes grief or traumatic situations can produce seemingly real dreams . alexis : i know , and it sounds rational . but then there was the phone call and the knocking -- sam : wait , what knocking ? alexis : i was taking a nap . i was conked out on the couch because i was drinking . sam : okay . alexis : but i woke up because there was knocking at the door , so i - i thought it was julian , but it was n't . sam : okay . let 's see -- so , you were , um , sleeping and -- and drinking . who was it ? alexis : no one . sam : huh ? alexis : the first time , no one was there . the second time , it was valentin . [ scene_break ] valentin : there 's an olive grove on the island . it 's old . it was planted long before the cassadines arrived , and it has a -- a scarecrow . it 's not an average `` wizard of oz `` scarecrow , though . it 's dark and threatening , and there 's a legend it came alive one night and scared some local kids . so if your son was on the island and ran into this scarecrow -- pretty sure it would make an impression . jason : well , thank you . uh ... appreciate the help . valentin : well , anything else i can help you with , you just let me know . jason : yep . [ inhales deeply ] you know , i 'm really , uh -- really not used to you being this forthcoming . make me wonder if you have an agenda . valentin : just trying to be helpful , father to father . no child should be subject to helena cassadine , and i 'm sorry that yours was . jason : yeah , so am i , but i 'll get him through it , no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] nelle : mr. cassadine told me a little bit about charlotte 's childhood , but it was very broad stokes . [ sighs ] i had no idea about the details . lulu : guess that makes sense , right ? it 's not exactly the usual rundown for a new employee . `` oh , my daughter likes cranberry scones and apple juice . she naps at 1 : 00 , and , oh , yes , her mother 's egg was stolen . `` [ chuckles ] why would valentin let an employee know what kind of man he really is , right ? nelle : [ inhales sharply ] lulu : i 'm sorry . never mind . never mind . i am glad that you took the job , and i 'm happy to get to know the very capable young woman taking care of my daughter . nelle : thanks . lulu : and if i 'm completely honest , part of the reason that i 'm just seeing charlotte now is ... when i found that i had a daughter , i completely blew it . i was just so excited when i heard i had a little girl in the world . she was right there . she was right in front of me . i just wanted to hug her , never let her go . instead , i scared her away . i acted in the moment ... and i did n't think it through . i got carried away . i made a huge mistake . nelle : and you 'd do anything to take it all back ? [ scene_break ] michael : thank you , mr. shu . a , uh -- a courier is en route with the contracts , and i 'll send you an e - mail copy shortly . all right . have a great day . [ computer beeps ] sonny : just working hard there , huh ? you 're jumping into it . michael : yeah , yeah , and , uh , sorry for the distractions . it 's the start of business day in china , so ... sonny : look , i - i do n't want to hold you up , but i do n't want to leave it like this . maybe nelle did n't -- or was n't the main reason your mom and i broke up , but she did help it along . and when the truth came out , i know ... that it hurt you . michael : hey , you do n't -- [ chuckles ] you do n't have to worry about me , okay ? uh ... yes , i was sympathetic ... to nelle ... to a point . but she -- you know what ? she , um , tore apart our family with a wrecking ball , and she left us in ruins , so , uh ... i ca n't get past that . sonny : are you sure ? she 's staying in port charles . michael : i know . sonny : and ? does it change anything for you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , you really did not have to wait while i put my order in . i have kept you long enough . i 'm sorry if i 've -- i 've said too much . i 'm sorry . this is just me . my emotions get away f -- i 'm gon na stop talking . nelle : [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm gon na thank you . i really appreciate you listening . nelle : it 's okay . lulu : well , it was great talking to you , and i hope you have a good night , nelle . nelle : uh ... could i ask you something ? and you can say `` no , `` obviously , if -- if it 's not okay . lulu : no , it 's okay . what ? nelle : um ... i was just wondering about michael . you know , how -- how -- how is he doing ? lulu : um ... i have n't really seen michael much lately , but dante says that he 's keeping to himself mostly , really throwing himself into work . he had a hard year last year . it was a really difficult time . i just hate that he 's going through things alone . nelle : yeah . me , too . bye . lulu : good night . [ scene_break ] michael : nelle can stay in port charles if she wants , you know ? she -- she ... [ sighs ] she got a job as a nanny to charlotte cassadine . sonny : yeah , well , she could have gotten a job anywhere else , right ? but she stays in port charles 'cause she 's working an angle , 'cause that 's who she is . michael : yeah , well , dad , w - what can she do ? you and mom already know the worst . there 's no way she can manipulate you again . sonny : i just do n't want you running into her , 'cause you 're gon na feel uncomfortable . michael : like the way you would if you run into mom ? dad , do n't project your feelings onto me . trust me , i can handle the occasional running into nelle . i 've -- i 've dealt with far worse . sonny : i 'm just trying to protect you , son . michael : hey , dad , i 'm way past the age where you have to protect me , okay ? i 'm an adult , just like you -- have to make my own choices . and if i make a mistake , then i have to live with the fallout , just -- just like you 're doing right now . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i want you in jake 's life . i want you to still help him , but right now , your presence is causing an issue with his father . and the last thing that kid needs is any more disruptions , and i know you do n't want that , either . franco : no , i do n't , i do n't . i do n't want anything bad to happen to that kid . i just -- i want to be his stepdad , that 's all . you know , i want to get crappy cards on father 's day , be terrified teaching him how to drive . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] and i 'm not ruling any of that out . i just need for you right now to give jake some space . at least until we figure out what all those drawings mean . maybe this will be a breakthrough . maybe we 'll finally figure out what happened on cassadine island , and when it 's all said and done , we 'll have you to thank for getting the ball rolling . franco : okay . you got it . we 'll do things your way . i just need you to know that no matter what , i do n't want to lose you . elizabeth : you wo n't . jason : [ clears throat ] hey . uh , when you get a chance , we need to talk about jake . [ scene_break ] sam : well , i do n't know what 's worse -- a visit from valentin or julian 's ghost . alexis : a visit from valentin . sam : what exactly did he want ? alexis : [ scoffs ] some song and dance about bonding with siblings . sam : oh . alexis : he offered me the keys to the estate . sam : [ laughing ] oh ! okay , i 'm assuming you passed on it . alexis : oh , yeah , i 'm moving in with him right after i leave here . sam : i 'm just wondering why he chose now to reach out . alexis : he wanted to give his condolences about julian . he was full of it . i kicked him out of the house . and that 's when i started seeing julian . sam : okay . well , maybe he triggered those thoughts . alexis : i do n't need anyone to trigger thoughts about julian . it 's what happened after i got back from the aa meeting -- you know , that hang - up phone call . sam : yeah . i mean , it 's probably just a wrong number . alexis : sam , i 'm telling you -- i got the weirdest feeling about this . sam : okay . why do n't you just , um , give me your phone . alexis : oh . sam : do you have it ? alexis : yeah , it 's here . hold on . sam : okay . alexis : what are you doing ? sam : i have an app that can trace the phone number . [ inhales sharply ] alexis : what 'd you come up with ? sam : okay . just give me a second . okay . all right . well , the map indicates a pay phone off route 31 near roebling park . alexis : s -- what ? sam , that 's -- that 's at the footbridge ! that 's right where julian died . so , what is that ? that 's the gas station ? sam : yeah . alexis : so there 's -- there 's a pay phone by the gas station near the bridge . sam , i -- i think ava may be right . i think julian is alive . sam : m - mom , calm down . do n't jump to any conclusions . just because the call originated by the bridge does n't mean that julian is alive . you understand that , right ? please tell me that you get that . alexis : i get it . sam : okay . alexis : i get it , and i know that i should n't feel this way , but i 'm somehow wishing that he 's still alive . well -- [ scout crying ] sam : oh ! it looks like one of your wishes has just come true . scout 's awake . you can finally see her . alexis : actually , sam , i 'm gon na go . sam : mom , i do n't want you to leave . alexis : [ sighs ] i 'm okay , baby . sam : no , please -- you are not okay . hey , mom , do me a favor . please call kristina or molly and have one of them stay with you . alexis : no . please ! no ! go feed your baby . sam : then stay here with us . move in with jason and me . alexis : [ scoffs ] i 'm sure jason would love that . i 'm not that delusional . i 'm -- i 'm just tired , all right ? i just want to go home and pull the covers over my head . sam : okay . alexis : it 's been a long day . sam : okay . i love you . call me . alexis : i - i love you more , and i will . sam : day or night . alexis : you better go feed that baby . sam : i will . alexis : okay . go feed that baby . i love you . sam : you , too . [ scene_break ] franco : i 'll see you later , okay ? tell jake i said hi . elizabeth : just a second . just -- franco , even though i know right now is not the best timing , it -- it does n't mean that i do n't want to spend the rest of my life with you , and i realize i did n't say yes , but i did n't say no , either . franco : what 'd you say ? elizabeth : did that not come out right ? franco : no , i 'm just teasing you . i understand , and thank you . i 'll remember that . elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay , well , franco has agreed to take a step back for now . jason : that 's good . i think i might have found a lead about , uh , that scarecrow that jake drew and how it ties into cassadine island . elizabeth : oh , good . well , i have a lead of my own , and i think i know who can help us with jake .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i have learned from painful experience -- you do n't just turn off your emotions when you care about somebody . you do n't just drink , get into your job , get into a bad relationship -- all those distractions , they -- they do n't work . michael : okay , how many times do i have to tell you , dad ? you do n't have to worry about me . sonny : see , that 's the other thing . you 're more than capable of doing your business wheeling , dealing all over the world . but you 're my son . and even though you do n't think you need my protection ... it does n't stop me from wanting to . [ scene_break ] nelle : oh . um ... i did n't mean to disturb you . i bought charlotte a treat for tomorrow -- her favorite scones . valentin : that 's very kind of you . she 'll like that . i 'll reimburse you . anything else ? nelle : no . uh , i just -- i ran into lulu at kelly 's . valentin : did you ? what were the circumstances ? nelle : i 'm not sure what you mean . valentin : under which you ran into each other . did you talk to each other ? who approached who ? nelle : oh , no one approached anyone . i was just leaving the counter with the scones , and i almost ran into her . valentin : did she introduce herself ? nelle : that 's right . she was just being polite . valentin : i want you to tell me everything that she said to you . [ scene_break ] sonny : anyway , who am i to be lecturing a - anybody on mistakes ? i - i 've made a few . i 'll see you later , michael . michael : dad , wait . look , i 'm ... [ sighs ] i 'm glad you stopped by . and if i did n't make this clear ... i love you , and i do n't blame you for what happened . the only person i blame is olivia jerome . she put this whole thing in motion when she took morgan away from us , and now -- now we 're all s - stumbling around trying to put our lives back together . and nelle did what she did , because she 's screwed up . she is screwed up , and that does n't absolve her . that 's just -- it puts it in context . sonny : well , you 're -- you 're a lot wiser than i was at your age . hell , you may even be wiser than i am now . love you , buddy . michael : i love you , too , dad . sonny : um ... do n't work too hard . michael : okay . [ scene_break ] lulu : turkey with tracy ? you know you 're crazy , right ? laura : [ chuckles ] do you think i should n't go ? lulu : actually ... i guess it makes sense . the two of you will keep each other out of trouble . laura : [ chuckles ] but is it okay with you if i go ? because i had reservations about it . you know , i - i felt bad leaving you when this custody stuff is just so raw , and -- lulu : no , no , no . it 's totally okay . i just ran into nelle right before you got here . i think you were on to something . nelle asked me about michael . i think you were right about her having a thing for him . laura : oh . well , did you learn anything that we could potentially use ? lulu : not yet , but it 's a start . you bet i laid the groundwork for more . laura : okay . just take it easy . it 's just the first step , okay ? valentin is smart , so you have to be smarter . just remember your daughter 's custody depends on this . [ scene_break ] nelle : i think lulu just wanted to make sure that we knew each other , since i 'd be picking up and dropping off charlotte and wanted to be familiar with me . valentin : that 's it , is it ? nelle : that 's right . uh , i think she just wanted to get to know me and make sure i was okay . valentin : thanks for mentioning . nelle : mm - hmm . valentin : listen , just so you know , i offered to share custody with lulu , but she took me to court and tried to take charlotte away from nina and me . so if you run into her again , she 's the opposition , and she 's not to be trusted . nelle : i 'll remember that . valentin : and one more thing ... [ keys jingle ] valentin : i had the locks changed . you can never be too careful . good night ! [ keyboard clacking ] [ nelle remembers ] nelle : what can i do for you , michael ? michael : well , uh ... here . i wanted to give you this for when you decide to get back out there .

courtney : look , if rachel dies of her injuries , the murder weapon she used to kill a.j . -- which conveniently has my fingerprints all over it -- will go straight to the police . jax : well , then we 'll have to act before that happens and go to the police ourselves . courtney : no , jax , no . jax : look , i know -- i know that you 're scared . that 's what rachel 's been counting on , but this ca n't go on any longer . courtney : jax , rachel framed me . okay , my prints are all over that letter opener . do n't you see ? she set it up so there 's no way out . jax : there 's always a way out . [ scene_break ] jason : now , this is important , stan . what you 're about to say can lead to knowing what happened to michael , so unless you 're 100 % sure about your facts -- stan : oh , listen , i 'm sure . i 'm sure . the money trail from faith to the sniper was complicated , but i was able to trace it back to where it started . jason : and ? stan : i do n't think it 's what you want to hear . the assassin that took out faith was on sandoval 's payroll , and unfortunately , they 're in the morgue . jason : so you 're telling me the only lead to michael is a dead end ? [ scene_break ] sonny 's voice : i thought this was settled . a.j . : it 's not . i think you should talk to michael yourself . sonny 's voice : you deal with it . a.j . : do n't you think you owe michael a decent goodbye ? sonny 's voice : i do n't owe him anything . michael : dad ? it 's me ! i want to come home ! a.j . : i know you heard that , sonny . ca n't you tell how anxious michael is to speak with you ? michael : please , dad ! a.j . : look , he 's a little boy . talk to him . he needs to hear something from you , anything . here . he 'll talk to you . michael : dad , i want to come home . dad , are you there ? pick up ! [ scene_break ] alexis : do you honestly think i do n't know what i 'm facing ? ric : i do n't . i really do n't because if you did completely understand the whole gravity of this situation , you would see that trying to keep sonny out of his daughter 's life is like hitting your fist against a brick wall . it 's pointless . you need to think . alexis : you think this is about keeping him out of her life ? do you think i 'm doing this to hurt him ? i 'm not doing this to keep her out of his life . i 'm -- my preference is that he would change his life so that she could live safely within it , but he wo n't do that . ric : no . alexis : he wo n't do it . so , as her mother , what else am i to do except try no matter what ? ric : so you 're fighting a losing battle , alexis , and i can not -- absolutely can not -- help you dig your own grave . you know what , if you insist on going through another custody battle with sonny , do it on your own . [ scene_break ] courtney : this is pointless , jax . i mean , yeah , i saw the letter opener that rachel used to kill a.j . , but she put it in a plastic bag . she said she was going to give it to someone to send to the police if anything happened to her . jax : this is where rachel lives , okay ? you never know what might turn up . it 's worth the effort if it means that rachel has nothing to hold over your head . hey . hey , are those tears ? courtney : god . honestly , jax , i am hanging on by a thread here . i do n't know how much more i can take . i mean , i have been trapped in my apartment with a murdering psycho for weeks . and this is a woman who i have known for a grand total of about an hour , who has taken it upon herself to murder my ex - husband , frame me for it , and insist that i kill someone for her in return . i -- jax , rachel poisoned you to slap me back into line . we could n't even have lunch together without getting caught in the middle of a mob ambush . we 're engaged here . okay , i should be looking at wedding dresses , not -- not looking through rachel 's purses for a bloody murder weapon . i mean -- god . jax : hey , hey , i know -- i know this has been torture on you . but the worst is over , okay ? you 're not alone anymore . now , i promise that we 're going to make rachel one of our very bad memories . courtney : god , you really think so ? jax : absolutely . you 're going to be my wife . i 'm not going to let anything happen to you . courtney : oh , god , jax . you almost make me believe that this whole nightmare might end . jax : `` almost `` ? it seems i still have some work to do , then . courtney : oh , god , i 'm a mess . jax : yes , but you 're a gorgeous mess . courtney : you 're obviously blinded by love . oh , god . jax : oh , this is interesting . courtney : what ? jax : it 's a receipt from an attorney , cash paid for services rendered . courtney : so ? jax : so , if rachel left instructions to send incriminating evidence to the police in case something should happen to her -- courtney : then who better to leave them with than an estate lawyer ? [ scene_break ] steven : rachel 's still unresponsive . mac : i was hoping for better news . steven : mac , i do n't understand . tell my why it 's so important for you to question her about the sandoval shootings ? rachel 's a victim . mac : rachel is the only eyewitness to the shootings that we have n't gotten a statement from . and unfortunately , no one saw or heard anything that we can use . now , agent marshall is convinced the shootings were ordered by sonny , but with no further proof we 've got nowhere to go . rachel could be our only hope . steven : okay , i do n't know what she was doing down at that hotel restaurant in the first place . i mean , that place was closed for a private party . mac : that 's one of the things we 'd like to find out . maybe she knew something was going to go down and she went there to warn jax and courtney . steven : how would she know ? rachel is a doctor . rachel does not hang out with mobsters . mac : maybe she came on to some information inadvertently . maybe she overheard something or stumbled onto a meeting on the docks . it 's just a hunch , but i have a feeling rachel could have something very important to offer when she wakes up . steven : there is no guarantee that that 's ever going to happen . steven : [ muffled ] she 's been shot in the chest , mac . [ scene_break ] michael : dad , are you there ? pick up ! sonny 's voice : i do n't want to have to keep saying this . it 's done . go away . michael : what are you saying ? you do n't mean that ! sonny 's voice : i mean it . i never want to see you again . [ dial tone ] a.j . : sonny hung up on you , did n't he ? [ scene_break ] jason : that 's it . this is where it ends , sam . what the hell was i even thinking about ? sam : you needed to know what happened to michael . jason : chasing down answers was just a way for me not to face it ! you know what ? sonny was right . it 's time for me to face it . sam : jason , you were following your instincts . you trust them , and you should . so if that voice inside of you is telling you that this journey is over , then you need to let go and move on with your life . but i do not think that that is what you believe . [ scene_break ] reese : you 're trying to compromise me . here 's the twist . i do n't want you badly enough to let you do it . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , i get that you 're being supportive and i appreciate it , but i do n't need any more false hope . i wanted the facts , and that 's what i got . sam : that is the last thing i want to give you . but i do not want you to discount your intuition , either . you live by it , so do i , and it 's served us well . look , when you first started looking for michael , you said something critical , jason . `` assume nothing , believe only what we could see and prove . `` remember ? jason : yes , i remember . sam : okay . all right , well , then let 's think it through from the top . what is the first and most important thing we assumed about michael , then and now ? jason : where are you going with this ? sam : that he was dead , but why do we believe it ? jason : why ? because sonny heard a gunshot when faith took the phone away from michael . and because of that picture . sam : neither of those things qualify as actual proof , jason ! jason : the picture showed up in the pocket of the hit man who shot faith , sam ! we just figured it was one of our enemies ' signatures . sam : all right , well , then for the sake of argument , let 's just say that it was n't . why would someone send a photograph of michael dead to the people who love him the most ? cruelty ? or did they want us to believe that michael was dead ?

[ scene_break ] jerry 's voice : claudia , darling , congratulations . you found yet another one of my little missives . such a clever girl -- claudia : i can hear jerry from upstairs . jerry 's voice : assuming you 're the one who 's watching , of course . ric : good morning , claudia . claudia : what are you doing ? everyone in the house can hear that . ric : well , it 's a good thing sonny is n't home , or is he ? claudia : you know he 's not here or you would n't be doing this . ric : oh , you thought i was still going to be in the hospital , did n't you ? you ever had your stomach pumped before , claudia ? it is such a memorable experience . i got to tell you . along about the time that the contents of my stomach was being pumped through a tube that was stuck up my nose and down my throat , i 'm thinking to myself , `` ric , you know , it 's time to change the rules . i am going to show that dvd to sonny . `` he is going to kill you , literally . claudia : you know what ? you really should n't blame me because you got drunk and passed out . ric : you know what the doctor said ? he said i had ingested enough sleeping pills to choke a horse , and coupled with the scotch that it was mixed with , i am lucky to have survived . claudia : i guess someone does n't like you . you should be thanking me for getting you to the hospital on time . ric : well , the only thing that i remember -- and mind you , this is very , very vague -- was a point where i said , `` in the event of my death , `` and then you were straddling me , not in a good way . claudia : you must have been dreaming . ric : oh , come on , claudia . do you think that it would n't occur to me to make a copy to be sent to sonny in the event of my death ? claudia : i would n't know . ric : okay , fine , then i 'll just relax and i 'll wait for sonny to get home . while i 'm doing that , could you do me a favor and get me a cup of coffee ? and please , hold the sleeping pills . [ scene_break ] jax : first of all , no one needs to know that jerry is involved in any of this . we 're clear on that , right ? especially carly ? olivia : i absolutely agree . jax : good . that 's why i destroyed the dvd that jerry sent me . you 're absolutely right . some things should remain buried . i want to focus on the positive . i want to focus on getting dr. hensen here so she can look at michael , and then i 'm even thinking about moving him to general hospital after it reopens . olivia : wow , moving him out of permanent care , that 's a pretty big step . jax : yeah , but carly was right . see , the permanent care facility is not set up for people that are recovering . olivia : and you think that michael 's recovering , now , al of a sudden ? jax : he moved his hand , okay ? olivia : okay , jax , i do n't know how to say this . do you think that you could be overcompensating just a little bit here ? jax : i 'm the reason that jerry was in town when all of this went down . i covered for him even after i knew all the terrible things he 'd done . i 'm definitely partly responsible for putting michael where he is right now . olivia : i see , but you 're making some really big choices here , okay ? you 're moving michael . you 're bringing in this doctor . you 're neglecting your own business . are you doing this because you really think that michael has a shot , or is this just to ease your conscience ? jax : carly needs my support . what difference does it make why i 'm helping her ? olivia : well , it could make a big difference if there really is no hope . [ scene_break ] carly : jax and i were leaving his room , and i went back to turn off the light . just as i was flipping the switch , i saw his hand move . sonny : no one else saw it ? carly : no . patrick thinks it 's just a reflex , but i do n't believe that . i know our son is fighting to come back to us . sonny : is that what you told patrick ? carly : i told patrick i want a second opinion . sonny : he 's a good doctor , though . carly : i know . he 's a great doctor , but i think he 's a little distracted right now with everything that 's going on with robin , and i do n't think he 's considering every possibility . sonny : okay , you got to understand something , okay ? he was involved from the start . i do n't think it 's fair to rule him out . carly : okay , listen to me . michael and i made a deal that he was going to fight as hard as he could to respond to that test , and i know that 's what he 's doing . sonny : i 'm not disagreeing with you . i 'm just saying that the odds are n't with michael . carly : i do n't care about odds . i know michael is waking up . kate : excuse me . did you just say that michael might be waking up ?

[ scene_break ] robin : listen , i am not trying to avoid my appointment with dr. brown . it 's just that dr. kendricks wants me to take a look at those pictures so he can make the decision about the surgery . patrick : okay , well , why do n't i talk to dr. kendricks and i can just fill you in ? robin : because he wants my opinion , not yours . besides , i think it makes more sense for me to start therapy after we move to general hospital . i mean , we 're going to be slammed for weeks . patrick : there 's lots of staff to help getting back to general hospital , and your treatment should be a priority . robin : so now you 're setting my priorities for me ? patrick : robin , i have n't done you any favors by being in denial about this . if it was any other illness , you would have seen the doctor months ago . robin : fine . i 'll go to the appointment . patrick : okay , you know what ? i 'll drive you over there . robin : why ? you afraid i 'll end up in rochester ? robin : why is everything i always say to you the wrong answer ? if i want to focus on being a doctor , that 's wrong . if i say i 'll go to the therapy session , that 's wrong , too . patrick : hey , robin , i 'm on your side here . robin : i know . i 'll go to the session . and you know what ? if you want to give me a ride , that 's fine . patrick : okay . you know , maybe we can leave early and grab some lunch or something . robin : take a walk on the waterfront ? patrick : yeah . elizabeth : dr. weiss needs you right away in post - op . the bleeding has n't stopped . robin : go ahead . go ahead . i 'll go to the session , i promise . patrick : okay , you know what ? maybe i 'll talk to dr. kendricks and see if we can put off the consult a couple of hours , then you can do it . robin : thanks , i appreciate that . patrick : okay . robin : go . i 'll be fine . [ scene_break ] ric : my brother deserves to know the truth . claudia : you think he 's going to be grateful to you for reminding him of the worst day of his life ? ric : well , sonny 's always suspected that there was more than one person involved in michael 's shooting . once i prove that to him , that he 's right , of course he 's going to owe me . claudia : whatever . do n't be too sure . ric : claudia , maybe if you had kids , you 'd understand how much sonny loves his children . he will do anything to protect them , and he will kill anybody who causes them pain . claudia : if you show sonny that dvd , this is over , okay , between us . there 's not going to be any more fun little games , ric . no more sex with me . and you 're not going to have any evidence against jason and sonny to give to the fbi . ric : well , do n't worry . i 'll be able to prove that sonny killed you , and then he 'll go to prison and i take over . claudia : well , what about jason ? i mean , come on . the guy has only not killed you because you 're sonny 's brother . what about my brother , ric ? you honestly believe that johnny 's going to let you live when he finds out you provoked sonny into killing me ? ric : i 'll disappear for a while . claudia : and then what ? what , come back like nothing happened ? not a chance . look , i know that you 're doing this to scare me . fine , it worked . i 'm scared . but you need to stick to our deal . you keep our secret . i will find you some information that you can use against jason and sonny . ric : that 's going to have to be some pretty strong evidence , enough to go to prison . claudia : it will be . you know that i 'm a lot more useful to you alive than i ever could be if i was dead , right ? ric : depends on what kind of evidence you turn up . [ scene_break ] jax : look , carly made a leap of faith the night michael was shot . she decided that he was going to wake up and she never really stopped believing that . that 's the way she thinks . that 's the way she lives her life , one of the reasons i love her so much . she never gives up on anything . olivia : all right , but working with this specialist , trying to convince her to work with michael even against her best instincts , is n't that kind of feeding false hope ? jax : possibly . but if dr. hensen says that michael ca n't recover , at least carly would have heard it from the top person in the field . olivia : do you think he really moved his hand ? jax : carly saw him move his hand . i 'm going to do whatever i can to help her explore all the possibilities to bring michael back . and she really should n't be bothered with any of this jerry stuff . olivia : i agree . i think keeping a secret is n't wrong if it protects the people that you love . [ scene_break ] carly : we 're having a private conversation here . kate : i simply asked if there was news about michael . sonny : carly saw michael 's hand move . the doctors are n't making any promises , but he could be a candidate for a procedure that could wake him up . kate : that 's wonderful , sonny . well , i 'll keep him in my prayers . carly : do you believe what you just said ? sonny : you got really good instincts . and if you think he 's , you know , going to wake up , then who am i to say he is n't ? carly : thank you . sonny : anything else you want me to do now ? you want me to go to another specialist or -- carly : no , no , jax is taking care of that , but i will keep you posted on everything . sonny : you know hope is not what i do best . but if you believe that michael is waking up , then i 'm going to find a way to believe it , too . [ scene_break ] maxie : oh , kate , clarice is mid - meltdown . lulu : your latte and your messages . kate : okay , maxie , just please -- just deal with clarice . and , johnny , the point is to show up at these events and actually be seen . if you ca n't manage that , i 'll find someone who can . lulu , just have olivia sent in when she gets here , and do n't bother me with anyone else . and do n't have the delivery boy loiter . lulu : no , actually , i wanted to introduce you to ethan lovett . he works for my father . ethan : it 's a pleasure to meet you , ms. howard . lulu : so i was thinking , you know , he could replace johnny in the p.r . dates . kate : absolutely not . end of discussion .

[ scene_break ] sonny : robin , you okay ? robin : i 'm procrastinating . sonny : what do you mean ? anything in particular ? robin : my first session with my shrink . sonny : i know what that 's like . robin : i just do n't understand why i , you know , ca n't get it together and move on . emma is a blessing . i 'm married to the man that i love . i live in a beautiful house i can easily afford . i do n't understand where my life went . sonny : if you need help , you need help . robin : you know , i see these mothers at work -- blue collar jobs , barely have health insurance . they love their babies , ca n't wait to spend time with them . why ca n't i do that ? sonny : i will tell you why . because they do n't have the medical condition that you have . robin : yeah , but i ca n't even hold my baby . i do n't want to feed her . i do n't want to touch her . i do n't even want to look at her . i mean , that 's awful . i 'm a failure as a mother . i 'm not doing much better as a wife , either . i worked so hard to create this perfect life for myself . and i 'm not only letting it slip away , but i 'm actively destroying it . sonny : i know what that 's like . robin : how am i supposed to say all that to a doctor ? sonny : i did n't want to deal with being bipolar , right ? i did n't want to sit in an office while some doctor looks at me and says , `` how do you feel ? what do you think ? `` all right ? that first session was so difficult for me . robin : but you did it . sonny : yeah , you know why i did it ? because i told myself that my kids needed a father more than i needed to pretend that i was n't sick . [ scene_break ] carly : hey , how 's it going with dr. hensen ? jax : well , they 're still making arrangements , but she 's agreed to examine him . carly : okay , well , does she think it 's good sign that his hand moved ? jax : she 's staying neutral for now . i 'm also contacting other specialists . look , if we decide to move forward with this , there 's going to be some risk involved , considerably more than there was with the test . carly : i understand that . jax : okay . carly : but michael 's trying to come back to us , and it 's our responsibility to help him any way we can . he wants to be with us , you know ? i believe that he can feel how much we love him , and i know he can hear every word we 're saying . jax : i hope not . carly : i think it 's good that he can hear us . that means he knows how much we love him , and maybe it will help him when he wakes up . jax : i know , i 'm just saying that it must be frustrating for him to lie there , having the people he loves pour their hearts out and not being able to respond . carly : what do you say to him ? because i only say positive things . jax : if michael can hear us , that means he knows exactly how he got to where he is . i ca n't imagine he 'd be too happy about it when he wakes up . carly : no , but he 'll know that we love him , and that 's important . and it means so much to me that you 're going and spending time with him . he can feel us praying and hoping for him , and that 's going to give him strength to come back home . jax : i wish i could think like you do . carly : no , you do n't . no , because if michael does n't wake up , i 'm going to have a really hard time with that no matter what i say . now i just have to keep telling myself , you know , this is fair , right , putting michael through this test ? and i have to make sure that i am trying to help michael wake up for michael and not for myself , because i just ca n't do anything that 's going to hurt my son again . i ca n't . jax : it 's not your fault what happened to michael , okay ? his life was stolen by some immoral -- carly : stop . we are going to be positive . we 're going to be positive for michael . jax : okay .

[ sighs ] and i had to go to jason and ask him ... he convinced lucky and elizabeth . sonny : i can not imagine how hard it was going to jason the night his ... his kid died . but you did the right thing . i mean , look . look at josslyn . living proof , right ? carly : the doctors say she 's making an amazing recovery . i 'm afraid to trust it . sonny : she 's strong and resilient like her mother . carly : she is . oh , sonny , when something like this happens , you just realize how fragile life is . you know no matter how hard you fight ... no matter what you do , you could lose the battle . lucky and jason could n't do anything to save jake . it was totally out of their control . sonny : one thing that you have to understand -- we are very thankful that our kids are alive . carly : that 's amazing to me , with all the hell michael 's been through . sonny : but you never gave up on michael or josslyn . i know that if you did n't find a donor , you would have done everything you could to get her through this . carly : you have more faith than i have in myself , you know that ? sonny : no , i 'm just proud of you . and i 'm , you know , very happy that your daughter 's gon na be okay . carly : thank you for being here . it means a lot .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i -- i apologize for interrupting your tête - à - tête with lucky . maxie : that 's okay . he needed to leave anyway . spinelli : but i 'm sure he appreciated your words of condolence . the jackal knows well that maximista 's sympathy and wise counsel are soothing to the troubled soul . maxie : i 'm not half as kind as you are , spinelli , but thank you . is that your book ? spinelli : yes , um , newly published and yours . although given lucky 's tragedy , it seems frivolous in the extreme . maxie : no , spinelli , this book is a great accomplishment . you should be so proud . spinelli : i 'm grateful for your words of encouragement and your offer to do a write - up of `` the secret life of damien spinelli `` in `` crimson , `` but you do n't need to feel obligated in any way . maxie : i would be more than happy to . you are the most brilliant person that i know . i mean , first with the video games and now the book . you are so creative , spinelli . i 'm really impressed . spinelli : i 'm humbled by your praise . maxie : you know , even though we did n't work out as a couple , i 'm really happy for the time we spent together . you made me a better person , spinelli . i 'm always gon na love you . spinelli : you know , i have to confess , you are the inspiration for the book . you 'll always be an inspiration to me . [ scene_break ] sam : hi . did you speak to michael ? jason : yeah . he asked what he could do for me . sam : well , that was really thoughtful . not that i 'm surprised . so what did you tell him ? if it 's private , i do n't have to know . jason : i , uh , i told him that being alive is a gift . you know , i was trying to make him see that he had so many choices , so many opportunities , but the whole time i was wondering ... was i even right to give up jake ? i mean , could i have done any better for him than i 've done for michael ? sam : you did what you thought was best at the time . jason : [ sighs ] sonny said you do n't ... you do n't save a child by giving him up . i 'm thinking he was right .

[ scene_break ] lucky : hey , dad . luke : hi . dante was here earlier . he took my statement . lucky : he cleared you . there 's no way to prove you were intoxicated , so no charges will be filed . luke : huh . case closed . lucky : drinking vodka now ? i guess scotch does n't taste so good anymore , since that 's what you were drinking the night jake died ? [ scene_break ] jason : i always told myself that jake was better off , that missing him was the price i had to pay for knowing that he was safe . but now we know . kids get sick ... like josslyn . and kids can ... die . all i did was miss out on the chance of knowing my son . sam : all we can do ... is love while we have the chance . [ scene_break ] michael : hey ! why would you come back to the place where you almost raped abby ? what , do you get some sick thrill thinking about what you almost did to her ? brandon : i figured you might be here , all pissed 'cause i had to smack abby into line . michael : you 're sick . brandon : yeah , well , abby does n't think so . she knows things just got out of hand the last time we were here . happens to every couple now and then . michael : stay the hell away from abby . brandon : [ chuckles ] you are long over due for a payback , buddy . and when you crawl out of this alley , you 're gon na leave my property alone . michael : you 're never gon na touch abby again . | dante asks luke how much he had to drink the night he hit jake . luke says he was not impaired . dante says they are ruling it as an accident . lulu asks luke to abstain from drinking while lucky is grieving . he tells her that would n't change anything ; he will still be the person that hit lucky 's kid . luke switches to water anyway . lucky assumes he is drinking vodka . |

[ scene_break ] julian : you said you were stalking me . alexis : [ sighs ] because of kristina . julian : okay . alexis : she told me something this morning . and she asked me not to tell her father . but you 're not her father . you 're my husband , so i can tell you . although , i should probably tell him first . but then again , we 're protected by spousal privilege , right ? julian : oh , my god . what the hell happened ? did she rob a bank or something ? alexis : no . she came out to me . [ scene_break ] hayden : i always liked this hotel . not that it compares to wyndemere , although , a house that large can get lonely pretty fast . nikolas : why are you here , hayden ? hayden : i miss you . nikolas : get out . hayden : that 's your pride talking . nikolas : yeah . my pride , my self - respect , my common sense . hayden : i understand that you feel betrayed . nikolas : obviously you do n't . otherwise , you would n't be -- hayden : i 've been betrayed , too , nikolas ... by my own father . i 've had everything i trusted , the entire foundation of my life ripped out from under me . so i understand how you 're feeling , and i came to tell you that what we had together -- the way we connected , the happiness we felt , and yes , the love , that was real . our marriage was real . do n't throw it away . there has to be a way . [ scene_break ] nathan : ah , easy , tiger . i 'm still recovering from a gunshot wound , technically . dante : sorry , bro . my bad . nathan : it 's all right , besides , the guy you want to hit , he left already . dante : oh , yeah . curtis ashford . yeah . yeah , he kind of had a point , which is annoying . i do n't really have any right to tell him to treat valerie with respect . i do n't really have any business poking my head into valerie 's personal life at all . nathan : look , man , i know your intentions were good , you know , but valerie 's doing all right . she does n't need you to worry about her anymore . dante : i know . but -- i should be focusing on me and lulu , which i am . but i feel like valerie 's kind of left hanging , and i do n't want to see her get hurt . nathan : yeah , but it 's not your call , you know ? look , okay , sometimes the best way to deal with something is to just let it go , you know ? put it in the past and walk away . dante : really ? that what you did with your marriage to claudette ? [ scene_break ] maxie : would you like some water ? i could make you a latte . joe : no , i 'm fine . thank you . nina : i was just telling maxie how beyond honored we are that you 're writing the feature for crimson . joe : i 'm happy to be here . i always enjoyed crimson . i have to say , i 'm sorry to see it struggle , but i 'm very impressed with the way you 're bringing it back . nina : thank you . thank you . maxie : oh , nina has been so creative and resourceful . every time we 've hit a setback , like say blatant sabotage , she 's figured out a way to turn it around . joe : i 'm sorry . did you say `` sabotage ? `` nina : uh , we think . we 're investigating . joe : so the green issue -- maxie : was n't designed that way . the entire print run was tinted green . nina improvised the whole `` ecology `` theme and then wrote an editorial piece to tie it all together . joe : impressive ! nina : thank you . thank you very much . um , well , you know , the stunt -- dropping the pages of the `` real women `` issue . do you remember ? joe : was it more sabotage ? maxie : yes . she figured out a way to turn it into a contest to generate interest . joe : well , it sounds like you guys have a very creative enemy . but who knows what could happen to my issue . [ scene_break ] julian : kristina came out to you ? well , i was n't really expecting that . alexis : well , neither was i . julian : well , i 'm sure you handled it perfectly . i mean , listen , you were absolutely wonderful when lucas told me he was gay . alexis : yeah , well , it 's a lot easier to see what others should do than it is for you to do it yourself . julian : what do you mean ? alexis : [ sighs ] i mean not only did i not handle it perfectly -- by the end of the conversation , she was basically accusing me of being a homophobe . [ scene_break ] lucas : what exactly did she say to you ? kristina : hmm , let 's see . she thinks that i 'm confused , that my professor is influencing me -- lucas : wait . your professor ? kristina : yes . this is the woman that i 'm attracted to . and i 've had -- okay . i 've had bad history of men in the past , so me being attracted to a woman means that i 'm just trying to avoid getting hurt . [ laughs ] like this does n't hurt . lucas : i 'm really sorry you 're going through this , kristina . kristina : yeah , me too . lucas : i mean , if it 's any consolation , even though your mom did n't really handle this the way you 'd like her to , she did n't totally reject you . she did n't slam the door in your face , she did n't turn her back on you . not yet . and the reality is that that 's the way a lot of parents react to a gay child . kristina : well , not my mom . she 's all about marriage equality , equal protection , fairness for all . so why ca n't she apply it to me ? lucas : unfortunately , i think even for the most enlightened parents , the new comes as a shock . i 'm sure she 'll come around . just give her time . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , i guess i can talk about it because most of it 's pretty much public knowledge . raymond berlin , rachel 's father , ran this huge ponzi scheme , and most of his investors lost billions of dollars . and rachel and her father worked `` closely `` together . jason : okay . what about the money ? do you think they were able to hide it , maybe off - shore or something like that ? sam : i mean , i imagine , but there 's no proof . people have been talking about it . there 's rumors . jason : yeah , well , if hayden did have access to that kind of money , how did she end up in port charles letting ric pay her to pretend to be my spouse ? sam : well , i mean , she could have been waiting . hiding out under an assumed name until she could get access to the money . jason : yeah , well , even so . that does n't give me any leverage over nik , and the only reason i 'm involved in this mess is to get elq back for the quartermaines . sam : hey . do n't give up on hayden so fast . she 's married to nikolas . she is the best lead we have . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you 're the one who said we should get married to hold on to elq . hayden : and you said that was n't a good enough reason . you wanted to marry for love . nikolas : right . is n't that the secret of a good con -- to make sure that the mark believes that the whole thing was his idea ? hayden : i was n't conning you . nikolas : you obviously had an agenda , so why do n't you just tell me what it was . was it to just hold on to elq , or did you want more ? did you want to have everything that i hold , including what i was trying to leave for spencer ? hayden : of course not . nikolas : then what was the plan that you had in motion when we got married ? hayden : did you not hear me ? i lost everything when my father went to prison . i wound up in port charles by accident . i needed money , and ric was willing to pay , and so i stumbled across the secret that you knew jason 's identity . then i blackmailed you . and when you called my bluff and tried to kick me out , i went to jason to tell him the truth , and i got shot in the head for my trouble . do you really think that was part of a plan ? [ scene_break ] sam : what do we know about hayden and nikolas ? how did they get involved ? jason : i do n't know . but at some point , hayden figured out that i was n't jake doe and i am in fact jason morgan , and nikolas wanted to keep it a secret . sam : which would explain why he had her living at wyndemere , because she was blackmailing him . jason : yeah , and then , you know , hayden changed her mind or nikolas pissed her off , but at any rate , she came to the garage that day to tell me who i really was . sam : and she got shot before she had a chance . jason : what ? sam : wait a minute . that bullet was meant for you . jason : yeah . sam : okay , well , what if it was n't ? what if hayden , or rachel , was the target all along ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : the shooting was an unfortunate accident . hayden : [ scoffs ] especially unfortunate for me . nikolas : but it never would have happened if you would have just kept to our original agreement . you kept ramping up the blackmail , which , i guess , i should n't be surprised now that i know who you really are . hayden : so i got shot because of my own greed ? nikolas : no . you got shot because you kept insisting on being near jason morgan . someone was trying to kill him that day . and i 'm -- i am sorry that you got caught in the cross fire . hayden : sorry enough to pay my medical bills . sorry enough to invite me into your home when i was recovering . nikolas : yeah , where you proceeded to lie to me and pretend that you lost your memory . hayden : and you pretended to care about me . i tried to be the person you needed me to be , nikolas . i tried to become that person . and then when you got thrown off that terrace , and i thought you might die , my grief and my fear were real . nikolas : you never left my side . hayden : because i wanted you to live . nikolas : or maybe because you knew i was vulnerable . hayden : i did everything i could to help you . nikolas : because you were lying to me the whole time ! [ scene_break ] julian : that 's absurd . i mean , how could kristina accuse you of being a homophobe ? alexis : because she misinterpreted everything i said , and then she overreacted . julian : okay , well , what did you say ? alexis : this woman that she has feelings for is her professor , and she 's significantly older than she is , so i just suggested that maybe the professor was influencing her in some way . julian : so you told her that she might not really be gay , that she might be being led astray by her professor ? alexis : of course not , but that 's what kristina heard . julian : oh . alexis : i just again suggest that she might be confused . julian : what ? sexually confused ? alexis : she 's had some very serious difficult relationships . julian : okay . so you -- you think that she might be turning to women , because she 's afraid to get hurt again ? alexis : i do n't know . it 's possible , i suppose , and i should have kept that possibility to myself , because she got hurt and offended and she was defensive , and i want to be able to take it all back , and i ca n't . i also want to be able to make it right for her , and i do n't know that i can , because i think it is possible that that professor is influencing her in some way . julian : well , what if she is n't being influenced ? what if kristina really is gay ? alexis : fine . wonderful . great . of course , i 'll accept that , and i 'll love her and i 'll be happy that she 's true to herself . but if she is reacting out of confusion and this professor is pressuring her in some way , then as her mother , i need to intervene and do something about it . [ scene_break ] nathan : what happened with claudette was painful , it was ugly . i 'm not proud of the way i handled things , and i do n't want to get into it with maxie , you know ? especially since she was n't even a part of my life at the time . i mean , it 's not like i cheated on her and covered it up . dante : okay , like i cheated on lulu . nathan : that 's not what i meant . i 'm not comparing our situations , all right ? and that 's the point . they 're not even remotely similar . dante : agreed . [ sighs ] still ... nathan : it does n't change the fact that i am keeping a secret , and maxie knows it . [ sighs ] no matter how much she swears it does n't bother her , i know it does . [ scene_break ] maxie : mr. zee , do n't -- nina : nothing is happening to your issue . joe : well , it 's not really my issue . i 'm just contributing a feature . nina : yes . i know . and , listen , that 's why i hired a private investigator . when they find out who 's been sabotaging us , believe me , we 're gon na hunt them down and kick their asses . joe : i 'm sure you will . curtis : you wanted to see me , boss ? nina : yes , our private investigator right here . right there . there he is . please come in . i 'd like to introduce you to joe zee , stylist extraordinaire . this is curtis ashford , our private investigator . curtis : nice to meet you , man . joe : very nice to meet you . nina : yes , yes . mr. zee is writing the next feature for crimson , which is why we need to find out who 's sabotaging us immediately . curtis : understood . nina : yeah . okay , so , um , can you give us a few minutes ? maybe you and mr. zee -- you could talk concepts . maxie : of course . uh , right this way . after you . i 'm sorry about the interruption . i hope the whole sabotage thing did n't discourage you from contributing to crimson . joe : not at all . i enjoy a challenge . so , are we talking concepts ? maxie : before we do , can i just tell you how much i admire your work ? when you were creative director at that magazine that will remain nameless , i learned so much just by studying the way you put things together . i mean , it 's not just something you flip through at the beauty salon . it actually captures the reader 's imagination and makes them think about fashion . that 's what you do . i really want to follow in your footsteps . joe : well , you 're off to a good start . that 's great pair of shoes you 're wearing . [ scene_break ] curtis : whoever sabotaged you -- it ai n't a competitor . nina : how are you so sure ? curtis : your last two issues were a success , but folks in your industry seem to think that crimson 's about to fold . nina : oh , right . i 'm sure they figured it out before i did . curtis : figured what out ? nina : our publisher , julian jerome -- he never thought i would succeed . he only hired me as a placeholder to oversee the magazine until he could stop publication . [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie insists she does n't need to know about claudette , but i know it 's bothering her . dante : with the best of intentions , you guys are kind of building up a wall between you and maxie every time you avoid talking about it . and speaking from experience , if i could go back , obviously i would n't have slept with valerie , but i would have told lulu that first day . i would have dealt with everything that day . nathan : we 're way past that , though . maxie has known about claudette for weeks . dante : does she know that she was your wife ? nathan : no . do you think i should tell her ? dante : i do n't know , man . that 's not my call to make . that 's yours .

[ scene_break ] jason : hey , i left messages for justus . you want me to track him down ? sonny : i do n't think we 'll need it . ric 's going to come up with every insult he can , hoping that i 'll lose it so that he can charge me with assault . he knows he 's got no case against me . all the evidence they collected at carly 's house will prove what i told them . and i 've got carly and alcazar to back it up . jason : ok , why give ric extra time to get in your face ? i 'll just page justus . he 'll come right down -- sonny : i do n't care what ric 's agenda is . he 's an annoyance to me at this point . i need you to go back to the penthouse and give sam a message . jason : call her . sonny : no , no , i -- this ca n't be handled -- i need you to tell her to wait . jason : what -- what , until you get back ? sonny : yeah , till i get back . well , i need her to stay there so we can finish the discussion , because she 'll know -- sam will know what i 'm talking about . jason : ok . ric : jason . did i miss something here , or did you get a law degree all of a sudden ? jason : does he need a lawyer ? ric : no , not at all . this is an informal meeting . no lawyers are necessary -- or mob enforcers , for that matter -- so i 'm afraid i 'm going to have to ask you to leave . jason : ok . i 'll take care of it . ric : what 's he going to take care of , sonny , your laundry ? or ordering someone 's execution ? sonny : what do you want , ric ? ric : i would think that was fairly obvious to you by now . i want to put you in prison . [ scene_break ] carly : you -- you can see me ? lorenzo : just your shape , silhouetted against the light . it 's blurry , but when you moved , i could -- ah , there , there -- you moved again . carly : lorenzo -- lorenzo : the rest of the room is in total darkness , but the light is clear . it 's almost painful . look , you raised your right hand . carly : oh , my god , lorenzo . lorenzo . lorenzo : hey . carly : i was so afraid that it was -- lorenzo : so was i . [ scene_break ] sam : do n't worry . i 'm on my way out . jason : sonny wants you to stay . sam : sonny wants me to stay as in `` move - in stay , `` or sonny wants me to stay as in `` wait for him here stay `` ? jason : i have no idea . i 'm only here to deliver the message . he wants you to stay so you guys can finish your conversation or discussion you were having . sam : ok . how long is ric going to keep him down at the station ? jason : no more than a couple hours . he 's got no grounds for an arrest . sam : ok , fine . this is me waiting . yep , i need to speak to sonny about this in person , then , i guess . jason : great . that 's great . you do that . sam : your enthusiasm is overwhelming me , jason . have you shared your excitement with sonny yet ? jason : he did n't ask for my input . sam : well , i 'm asking for it now . look , i have made a lot of bad decisions in my life , and this time i 'm going to let you place my bet . ok ? my future 's in your hands , jason . stay or go -- it 's your call . jason : i do n't want to bet on your future . sam : well , neither do i . and we ca n't always get what we want in life , and if we do , chances are you ca n't keep it , anyway . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi , mike . mike : hey . elizabeth : can i get two hot chocolates , please ? mike : you got them . elizabeth : thank you . courtney : well , i hope those hot chocolates are for you . i mean , ric does n't seem to have the time , and he never will . he 's too busy pursuing his lifelong obsession of blaming sonny for everything that has gone wrong in his sorry life . elizabeth : ok . courtney : you know , ric is questioning sonny as we speak , elizabeth . i think the charge is stopping someone from breaking into carly 's home . does that sound fair to you ? i mean , does that sound like an impartial d.a . fulfilling his duty , or does it just sound like the same old ric , except now he 's using his job as an excuse to harass sonny ? elizabeth : you know , not everyone stays frozen in the past , courtney . if they did , you 'd still be a stripper , would n't you ? mike : careful , they 're hot . elizabeth : thank you , mike . mike : two hot chocolates . elizabeth : i need to go . mike : sure . well . what was that all about ? courtney : i told her the truth when i probably did n't have to . [ scene_break ] ric : so did you try to give the intruder a chance to surrender , or did you just gun him down right there ? sonny : did n't we go over this already ? ric : i know , sonny , but the pieces just do n't fit , so i want to go through it again . sonny : yeah , well , now what 's happening is you 're wasting my time . ric : here 's a question that i have for you -- when you walked into this darkened house -- sonny : yes . ric : did you even think for a second that maybe you might possibly hit your wife , or was once not enough ? huh ? were you so jealous and so angry that you thought maybe you 'd just finish the job ? sonny : do you ever get tired of doing this or -- ric : i just want to know the reasoning here , sonny . see , was it another accident ? hmm ? sonny : do you think maybe that it 's time to stop whining about the past and grow up , and maybe -- i do n't know -- take responsibility for your own messes ? ric : you know what i think ? i think maybe it was a little too dark for you to aim properly , so you tried to take out your wife 's lover once before . maybe you were trying to shoot alcazar and you missed . [ scene_break ] carly : are you sure you want to do this ? lorenzo : walk across the room with some idea where i 'm going ? absolutely . do me a favor -- walk somewhere . do n't talk . [ carly giggles ] lorenzo : i do n't want to cheat and follow your voice . carly : ok . that is very impressive . lorenzo : not bad for your average toddler . carly : ah , no -- not bad for a man who had no sight just a couple of hours ago . should we call your doctor ? lorenzo : no . carly : no ? lorenzo : they told me this is how it would happen -- if it happened . my corneas are healing . i ca n't really distinguish color yet . you 're not blond again , are you ? carly : no . lorenzo : i ca n't see that well . it 's like being in a very shadowy room . i can see shapes . i can kind of see where i 'm going . in a month or so , my eyesight could be completely restored . but even if it 's not , even if it 's just as it is right now , that is enough . i can take care of myself . carly : and that 's what frightens you the most , is n't it ? the thought that you might have to be dependent ? lorenzo : hmm . i do n't want anyone looking after me , telling me about my business affairs , telling me what 's right in front of my eyes . but the worst part was knowing that i 'd have to give you up . carly : you were going to leave me ? lorenzo : i gave myself till june . and they told me if my eyesight had n't returned by then , it never would . carly : why did n't you tell me ? lorenzo : hmm . because i knew you 'd stay with me . because you 're incredibly loyal to a fault , and despite your claims to the contrary , you are profoundly compassionate . but it 's not compassion that i want from you , carly . carly : lorenzo , i thought that you were just -- you were just lonely -- lorenzo : hmm . carly : and you missed sophie , and by some fluke , somehow i reminded you of her . lorenzo : why ca n't you believe that i love you for who you are ? carly : you see , that 's just it -- i do . i finally do . i realize that you love me , and i trust that . lorenzo : hmm . carly : do you want me to leave the light on ? lorenzo : hmm . i 'd like that . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] [ knock ] mary : yes ? emily : i need your help . [ scene_break ] [ rustling ] lucky : who 's there ? [ scene_break ] courtney : all right , you 're going to bust me for being mean to sweet , pregnant elizabeth , right ? mike : well , actually , it sounded like she gave as good as she got . courtney : yeah , she really knows how to push my buttons . mike : anything in particular ? courtney : oh , it 's just the way she refuses to see the truth about ric . and she acts like they 're this picture - perfect family -- daddy and mommy and baby makes three . mike : maybe it feels a little unfair that elizabeth gets to be a mother . courtney : ok , you know , it 's hard sometimes when i see a baby in a stroller or a mom glowing with happiness . but it 's better now . i guess i just ca n't help from time to time imagining a baby with -- with jason 's eyes . [ scene_break ] jason : i already told you -- sonny wants you to stay . sam : look , jason , i know i 'm not exactly your favorite person . and as weird as it sounds , i really value your opinion . maybe it 's the block - of - cement stare you always give me , but i get the feeling you 're the only halfway objective person in sonny 's life . jason : yeah , but my opinion does not matter . you got to do what you want to do . sam : oh , come on , jason . carly and courtney wish i were to drop off the face of this earth like yesterday . his brother treats me like something stuck on the bottom of his shoe . pretty much everyone in sonny 's life thinks i 'm the worst thing that ever happened to him . jason : what do you think ? sam : i do n't want to ruin sonny 's life . i 'm glad that he loves his kids and he wants to spend time with them , and to tell you the truth , if he wanted to go back to carly , i would n't fight it . i mean , it would hurt like hell , but i care about sonny , and i want -- i want what is best for him . oh . this is it . this is your chance to do something positive . am i good for sonny in any way at all , or should i -- should i pack up and disappear ? [ scene_break ] sonny : if you did n't have me to hate , you 'd have nothing at all . you built your life around trying to get something you 're never going to get . our mother 's not going to come back , say she 's sorry , and choose you instead . she already chose me , and she never regretted it . i 'm sorry ! ric : yeah . yeah , you 're right . firstborn son . sonny : that 's right . ric : yeah , she 'd be proud today , though , would n't she , hmm ? you get your way by hurting people and causing all kind of devastation . you never have to give a damn . sonny : what are you talking -- you chained carly to a wall . ric : you want to go there ? sonny : yeah , i 'm going ! ric : huh ? you want to go there ? sonny : let 's go there ! ric : you want to start calling me names ? you want to start calling me names and throwing my past to my face , sonny ? sonny : ah -- ric : what about yours ? you want money , right ? you want power ? you killed at every opportunity in order to get that . you crush every person who ever got in your way , and all for what ? for the sake of business ? why -- that sort of excuses all of the devastation that you caused ? it 's ok , right , because you 're just greedy ? because you 're a self - centered bastard who destroys the lives of every single person who ever gets close to you . all that matters to you , sonny , is what you want at any given moment . and that 's why you left your wife and your child for some whore like sam . sonny : you do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . ric : oh , do n't i ? really ? sonny : no ! ric : well , you want to look at it this way ? huh ? your father left our mother , right , just like you left carly . sonny : right . ric : see , he ran out , you ran out . sonny : right . ric : you want to tell me , sonny , where 's the pride in that , hmm ? you 're the worst of both of your fathers . you 're violent like deke woods , and you 're selfish like mike . you talk about me , huh ? i 'm better than my father , or at least i 'm trying to be , because i 'm with elizabeth , and she 's carrying a baby that 's not even mine ! so that every day i look at you , and every day for the rest of your life and every day for the rest of my life , i 'm going to know that i am a better man than you are ! elizabeth : is that why you 're with me ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : carly ? carly : hmm ? lorenzo : what are you doing ? [ next_on ] mary : i know what it 's like to be worried about the man you love . sam : i should probably just leave . jason : you want to know what i think ? carly : do you need these papers ? elizabeth : is that why you 're with me -- to spite sonny ? | carly suspiciously questions alcazar about seeing the hitman at the hospital with him . alcazar unintentionally reveals that he 's beginning to see light . carly and alcazar make love . carly wakes up and sees the papers that alcazar took from the hitman . ric gets a search warrant to search sonny 's penthouse . he wants to charge sonny with murder . as elizabeth overhears ric and sonny arguing , she hears ric say he 's with her to prove he 's better than sonny . |
jason : you know , this place has been empty for years -- off the radar , everybody 's forgotten about it . it 'll be real easy to decoy the cost with legitimate shipments , and hide the real product until we feel that it 's safe to move it . okay , now , i -- i know it 's a risk . but i think it 's a risk worth taking at this point . sonny : i remember dancing with carly right here when this place first opened . it 's like we were the only two people in the world . you know what ? um -- carly 's another risk you have n't mentioned . she owns this place , right ? jason : yeah . sonny : and your proposal is too dangerous to involve carly , even indirectly . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] carly : obviously , there is no museum party that requires my attention . jax : that 's not entirely true . there 's -- there 's definitely still a party -- a museum party -- happening as we speak . we could go to that if you like , but it 's just not here , it 's at the cosmopolitan . carly : well , the outcome is still the same -- i 'm not needed . jax : whoa , hold -- yes , that -- you -- you are needed , okay ? that 's the point of all this . so , please , just do n't go . [ scene_break ] nikolas : this situation goes against everything i am -- to be so passive while this idiot makes us jump through hoops ? robin : i know , i know . i believe i understand your frustration . but right now craig literally holds your life in his hands . and i gave a sample of your blood to my best lab technician and he has no idea what craig has injected into your body , much less how to counteract it right now . nikolas : i just , i refuse to believe that our only recourse is to keep doing what he wants , and i particularly object to us having to pretend to be in love ? what -- robin : patrick and i had tickets to the opera tonight . i know it might not seem like anything extraordinary , but patrick `` hates `` the opera . he says that it makes him want to surgically remove his ears . when i woke up from the hospital i had a pair of tickets in my hands . we 've come so far , and it was not easy . i mean , we finally learn how to open up to each other and love one another . and now he 's just hurt and confused . what if i tell him ? nikolas : what ? robin : what if i tell patrick what 's going on here ? nikolas : uh -- although i understand the impulse , i think it 's a bad idea . [ scene_break ] kristina : mommy , wake up . mommy , please ? mommy ? james : whoa . kristina : my mommy needs help . james : well , tell me what 's wrong . kristina : she wo n't wake up . james : show me , show me where she is . [ scene_break ] lulu : my dad was right about you -- you 're a twisted freak . you killed rick webber and you let my mom take the blame , and no matter how many times you claim you love my mother , your actions tell the truth , and i will tell the truth . i will tell everyone that you 're a murderer and you 're a coward , unless you plan on killing me , too . scott : well , if i 'm such a twisted freak , what 's to prevent me from just shutting your mouth once and for all ? [ scene_break ] james : here we go . it 's going to be all right . there . see ? she 's fine . alexis : hmm . james : hello . alexis : kristina ? you . james : we meet again . alexis : what happened ? james : well , apparently , you passed out , and judging from that lovely shade of gray you 're taking on , we should get you back to the house . alexis : i 'm -- i 'm perfectly capa -- capable of getting up under my own steam . james : really ? are you always so resistant to people who are trying to help you ? alexis : yes , thank you . honey , i 'm all right . i 'm just a little tired , that 's all . james : no , no , that 's not true , actually . your mother is tired because she 's taking really strong medicine , she 's pushing herself too hard , and she 's not resting enough . come on . alexis : it would probably be best if you did n't try to contradict me in front of my own child . james : well , you see , kristina 's a bright young thing , and there 's no point in lying to her when she can see as well as i can that you 're about to pass out again . kristina , should i assist your mother ? yes ? your choice . alexis : fine . james : okay . alexis : i can lean on you , but there 's no need for you to carry me like i 'm ' james : yes , like a damsel in distress -- the image somehow does n't suit you . come on ; let 's get back to that house . come on , kristina . you all right ? let 's go . okay , slowly . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly 's name is still on the deed , so if we get busted here , ric 's going to do everything he can to , you know , nail her as an accessory . jason : well , then we get her to sell to one of our holding companies . that 's it . sonny : if we -- if we approach carly , she 's going to get curious , start poking her nose into everything , and it 's just going to , you know , draw attention that we do n't want right now . jason : okay , then how about , you know , just maybe be honest with her ? you -- you know that 's all she wants . whether it 's a situation like this or whether it 's something personal , if you just say , `` hey , i need your help , and i 'm trusting you with this . `` sonny : i ca n't . jason : why ? sonny : because battle lines are drawn , and she 's going to want to trade this place for a divorce , and i 'm not going there right now . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] carly : do you know what you accomplished by setting up this elaborate charade ? you re - enforced all the reasons why we ca n't be together . jax : that 's not -- not exactly what i had planned . carly : you 're playing games , okay ? you 're getting me to do what you want under false pretenses -- it 's just like sonny . singer : one last time jax : yeah , you 're right . i 'm sorry , but i just -- i wanted a chance to plead my case and you were n't making it easy , so i -- carly : there 's always a justification . jax : look , we 're both here , okay , and i 'll bet you have n't eaten anything yet and , you know , this was a lot of work to set up at the last minute . i had to call in a lot of favors from the owner and everything , and i 'd hate for my , you know , effort to go to waste . i blew up all the balloons by myself . carly : i thought razzling and dazzling at the drop of a hat was your specialty . are you losing your touch ? jax : then perhaps just my inspiration . and i 'm fighting like hell to hold on to her . singer : i do n't know if it 's wrong or even carly : you better hope these are dripless candles , because i just had this floor waxed . jax : is that a yes ? yes , you 'll stay ? yes ? carly : i 'll think about staying . jax : what can i do to convince you ? carly : you just keep talking . jax : okay . singer : i will be jax : i admit i did get you here under false pretenses . i apologize . i 'll be honest from now on , okay ? i just -- i missed you , okay , and i do n't want us to be apart . i just want us to be able to spend a night together . you know , just to talk , laugh perhaps , and maybe you 'll realize that you are not ready to toss us aside , either . [ scene_break ] lulu : you 're bluffing . you wo n't kill me -- too many people will be able to put it together , especially my dad . he would hunt you down and hang your head on the nearest pole and you know it . scott : you should be ashamed of yourself -- your mother would be . laura would be devastated if she knew that her -- her beautiful daughter grew up to be so vicious and greedy . lulu : do n't even speak my mother 's name ! scott : you know , you did n't have to blackmail me . i would 've given you money if that 's what you need ' lulu : one more time -- i do n't know what you 're talking about ! i did not try to blackmail you ! scott : oh , come on , come on , come on , it 's too , too late for this innocent business here . you started digging around in stuff that did n't concern you . lulu : excuse me , but my mother going crazy over the false impression that she killed her stepfather is what concerns me , especially when it turns out to be you ! scott : all right , now , listen -- now , listen to me , all right ? i did not lie to your mother ! your father did that -- do you hear me ? lulu : no . do n't -- logan : hey ! leave her alone ! or i will spill your guts all over your shoes .

[ chuckles ] was it your nurse friend elizabeth ? jake : no . it was someone else . [ scene_break ] carly : hayden barnes is not his wife . lucas : what makes you so sure ? carly : because she claims they went camping and they got in a big fight and jake stormed off after he chucked his wedding ring at her . lucas : okay , well , it sounds dramatic , but it 's not really outside of the realm of possibility . carly : it 's something that jake would never do . it 's a cover story to fit the details of the accident where jake lost his memory , and i 'm gon na get spinelli to prove it . lucas : okay , carly , i love you , but you 're being unreasonable . carly : how am i being unreasonable ? jake is my friend . she 's taking advantage of him . how is that unreasonable ? lucas : well , what could this woman possibly have to gain ? why would she say she 's jake 's wife when she 's not ? carly : you 've always been way too trusting . [ scene_break ] luke : it 's my fault lucas got shot , and you know it . i sent a hit man to ice one of julian jerome 's family , and i really did n't give a damn who it was . and when he did n't kill lucas , i went into the hospital , and i tried to finish the job . bobbie : but lucas is fine . luke : no thanks to me . and i did n't stop there . i tried to kill him again .

[ scene_break ] luke : the haunted star was supposed to explode with everyone onboard , including you , barbara . bobbie : luke , you were not in your right mind . patricia : it was the secret . somehow it just took you over . luke : the secret that i killed the heart and soul of this family . [ sighs ] how can anybody every forgive me for that ? patricia : you snapped , luke . you literally lost your mind . bobbie : patricia 's right . i looked into your eyes , and my brother was gone . and someone tortured had taken his place , someone whose pain was so great , it twisted him into someone who was unrecognizable . luke : listen to the two of you . i nearly kill you , and you 're making excuses for me . tracy : luke , you were a sick man . now you 're gon na get better . i believe that . you should , too . luke : what if i ca n't ? tracy : oh , you can . and you will , because you owe it to me , after everything you put me through . luke : that 's my girl . you always know how to speak my language . tracy : do n't you ever forget that . i 'm gon na help you ... every step of the way . luke : you 'd still do that for me ? tracy : [ laughs ] of course . i love you . [ scene_break ] lucas : who hears about a mad bomber on the news , some guy with no money and memory , and goes , `` hey , that 's the guy for me `` ? carly : people lie and cheat for all kinds of reasons . lucas : mm - hmm . yeah . oh , and you 've hired spinelli to uncover hayden 's ? carly : i do n't think jake should be stuck in a marriage that never existed . lucas : why do you care so much if jake 's married or not ? why are you so invested in this guy 's personal life ? [ scene_break ] hayden : sam ? you were dreaming about the woman you took hostage ? jake : yeah . hayden : well , y - you ... jake : i asked her to move in with me . hayden : you must be feeling guilty about holding her at gunpoint . jake : of course , i do . hayden : and what says `` i 'm sorry `` better than offering her a place to live ? jake : yeah , maybe . i do n't know . hayden : do n't let it worry you . dreams are n't supposed to make sense . jake : [ sighs ] the stranger thing was , i ... i felt like i was in my own home , but ... actually , i was in sam 's apartment . [ scene_break ] sam : why were you talking about me and jake ? ric : i 'm not sure if you 're aware of this , uh , but i happen to represent sonny now that your mother has gone to the dark side with julian jerome . sam : also known as my father . mm , yeah . go ahead . ric : yeah , well , my brother -- he 's got enough to worry about with his custody battle , and it seems that you got jake a job with julian . sam : i did jake a favor . so what ? ric : [ scoffs ] you -- you did n't think that that would upset sonny the least little bit , that were helping out one of his enemies ? sam : what , are you kidding me ? i did n't get jake a job to antagonize sonny . i got jake a job because he needed a job , and who else but my father to get him work ? the guy 's not gon na get any legit work . he has no past , no identity , no one to vouch for him . ric : well , i would n't worry about poor , pitiful jake . he has a wife . [ scene_break ] patrick : of course , ric wants you back . he did n't want to break up with you in the first place . elizabeth : i know . i told him about what happened with jake . patrick : and ? elizabeth : he was really great . [ chuckles ] patrick : no `` i told you so `` ? elizabeth : nope . patrick : unh - unh . what did he say ? elizabeth : he swore the only reason he did n't want me with jake is because he was afraid i 'd get hurt . patrick : i 'm sure that 's not the only reason . elizabeth : probably not . but ric loves me . and he wants to be with me . it 's that simple . and that complicated . patrick : [ sighs ] you know , all i want for you is to be happy . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i know . patrick : [ clears throat ] so , what happens now ? do you take ric back ?

[ inhales deeply ] it 's got to come from somewhere , right ? hayden : this is just like you . you 're always waking me up to tell me about some surreal dream , and now that your mind 's been scrambled from the accident , your dreams are probably freakier than ever . jake : maybe . but this is n't the first weird dream i 've had since coming to port charles . hayden : let 's hear it . maybe i can interpret . jake : okay , um , it was about elizabeth . hayden : you did n't ask her to move in with you , did you ? jake : no , but , uh , it seemed more like this one , more like a memory than a dream . hayden : you 're my husband . i think i 'd know if you asked a woman to move in with you , and none of your exes were named elizabeth or sam . jake : yeah , this just seemed so familiar . hayden : so , are you saying you 're remembering these other women , but you do n't remember me ?

[ scene_break ] brenda : well , i just told you i was engaged . you could wish me well . you could say -- or you could say congratulations . sonny : congratulations . now you can go ahead and leave .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i was so wrapped up with nikolas and his condition and thinking about what happened between us and with him and lucky ... anyway , my point is , i have not seen sabrina , nor spoken to her in a few days . i -- you know , she 's probably just -- i 'm surprised she has n't called you . i do n't know . patrick : it 's not really that important in the grand scheme of things , with everything going on . elizabeth : actually , it is to her . i 'm sure she 's just super - busy with their nurses ' ball rehearsals . patrick : maybe . or maybe she does n't want to talk to me . maybe this is her way of telling me that she 's really happy with a new guy and that she ... wants me to leave her alone . [ scene_break ] tj : you erased a message from dr. drake from sabrina 's cell phone ? seriously ? milo : i just wanted a fighting chance with sabrina , but i got admit -- now i feel kind of bad . sabrina : feel bad ? what do you feel bad about ? milo : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lucy : where did you go ? sam : i was getting -- lucy : give them here . you -- please , come with me ! come with me ! hey , everybody , gather ' round , please ! everybody , look , look , look ! this is our new choreographer , and it 's very important that you listen to everything he has to say because he is gon na help us with our opening number , which is very important , because that 's the first thing the audience sees . it also has to kick the nurses ' ball off on a perfect note . that is , if we have a perfect note , molly . yes ? [ scene_break ] jax : you remember that i flew brenda and her son to rome after she left sonny , right ? carly : yeah , i was under the impression that you were giving her a ride . i did n't realize you guys were gon na rekindle some kind of old romance . jax : we did n't , at first . carly : i mean , did she get bored with motherhood and decide to just give you a call ? a kindergartner could not give that woman the kind of attention that she craves . jax : do you want to hear my -- do you want to hear my answer , or are you just gon na keep on talking over me ? carly : fine . how 'd you get involved ? jax : we stayed in touch , and whenever i would visit rome , i would take her and alec out on the town , and ... then my visits became more frequent , and one thing led to another , and then we -- we signed the divorce papers last september , and there was nothing in the way . besides , you had moved on , as well . carly : remember the time you told me how to close a deal was a lot like gambling ? the secret to winning both was knowing when to walk away . jax : yeah , i remember . carly : why ca n't you take your own advice when it counts ? why ca n't you walk away from her ? jax : carly , i 'm marrying brenda . carly : jax , wake up ! this engagement has nothing to do with you . brenda is trying to provoke a reaction from sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : something i just want to understand before you leave . you said i was too dangerous , so you walked out on me , right ? you got in a plane with jax , and then , last thing i heard , you send me some divorce papers through my attorneys , and then you show up at my front door , out of the blue -- brenda : i did n't just show up . i thought that you had read my letter , and i thought that you had decided that you did n't want to be with me . sonny : a letter that says that you still wanted to be my wife and that you would be waiting for me in rome . brenda : i did wait for you in rome . i waited for you for almost a year . sonny : and then you recite the letter by memory , and then you announce to me that you 're gon na marry jax . was that the plan all along ? brenda : yeah , that was my big plan . sonny : to get me to think that you want me back so you can tell me about him ? brenda : you think that i would plan any of this ? maybe if you would have ... read my letter , then ... things ... could 've been different . sonny : but i did n't . and so now , here you are , engaged to jax , again . you come to me , again . there 's a -- there 's a connection . and do n't pretend you do n't see it . [ scene_break ] jax : you think that brenda only agreed to marry me to provoke sonny ? carly : you know it , too . you just wo n't admit it . jax : no , you 're wrong . carly : i 'm not wrong . it 's classic brenda , okay ? when she made her grandstand play and took her son and went to rome , she was pissed off because sonny did n't chase after her , so you know what ? she had to raise the stakes . she had to find another way to get sonny 's attention , so of course she runs to you . jax : that 's not what happened . carly : brenda is using you , okay ? and you know it down deep inside . you just wo n't admit it . you 're never gon na be happy with her , because brenda only wants to be with one man , and it 's sonny . she wants to be with sonny . jax : not this time . carly : okay . where is she ? carly : is she in rome ? is she in australia ? jax : no , she 's here . she 's here and she 's back at our hotel room . carly : okay . jax : okay . carly : are you still a gambling man ? jax : what are you talking about ? carly : i bet you a million dollars that brenda is with sonny right now , 2 miles down the road . jax : this is pretty ridiculous . carly : yeah , she 's standing there . oh , my god , i can see it . she has tears in her eyes , and she 's telling sonny everything that 's going on , and she 's waiting for him to tell her what she wants to hear , talking about missed chances , everything . jax : you know , i do n't need to listen to this . carly : sorry . brenda wants to be with one man , and it 's not you . jax : carly , just sign the papers , all right ? carly : i need to look them over first . jax : really ? it 's the same divorce as it was last year . nothing has changed . carly : i just do n't want to sign them tonight . i just do n't think i should sign them tonight . jax : okay , fine . then you know what ? bring them to the nurses ' ball . okay ? carly : you 're going to the nurses ' ball with brenda ? jax : yes , i 'm going to the nurses ' ball to honor robin . carly : robin , who always wanted brenda with sonny . jax : right . thank you for bringing that up . just sign the papers , okay ? just bring them to the nurses ' ball signed . all right ? and just -- and just so we 're clear , you 're not making me doubt my love for brenda . okay ? you 're wrong about her . carly : [ scoffs ] well , jax ... i 'm about to do you a huge favor . [ scene_break ] lucy : molly , tell me -- do you have some new , fabulous lyrics for our opening number ? molly : um ... well , i -- i have something , but it 's really more of a first draft . you may not like it . lucy : i will like it . stop second - guessing yourself , gumption girl . molly : well ? lucy : i like it .

[ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but not every single thing that i do is about you . sonny : marrying jax is . brenda : no , it 's not . it 's about jax and me and the way we have always felt about each other . and now we 're finally just free to be together and to be normal and be happy . sonny : then why did you feel the need to come over here and tell me about it ? [ scene_break ] luke : you 've wanted me dead for 30 years . here i am . why would you give somebody else the pleasure of killing me ? helena : well , it 's a courtesy of one betrayed wife to another . now , i dispatched my husband 's mistress . i slit her throat while her daughter watched . but since you lack the obvious panache to kill ethan 's con - woman mother , you can avenge yourself by killing his father -- your faithless spouse . laura : you think you can force me to kill luke ? helena : oh , i doubt that much force would be required . laura ... this is the man who raped you ... who cheated on you ... who drove you to madness ... and then abandoned you ... and left you to rot in an asylum while he went on his merry way and married another woman . laura , this is the man who calls your son `` spawn . `` this is the man who would let nikolas die . kill him , laura . kill him , and you can hold your daughter again . kill him ... and my curse will be broken . luke : she 's right . there 's only one way out of this . you have to take it . laura : [ whimpering ] luke : go on , laura . you know what you have to do . laura : [ moans ] aah !

[ sighs ] you wrote the letter , saying that ... you love me , you still wanted to be my wife , and you 're gon na wait for me in rome , right ? when i did n't show up , you wanted to hurt me . and the way you do that is by getting back with him . brenda : no . sonny : unless ... you want me to talk you out of marrying jax . [ scene_break ] ethan : are you all right ? laura : i think so . is she ... ? luke : ding - dong ... the witch is dead . laura : she looks so harmless lying there . she tormented us for so many years . kind of hard to believe she 's actually gone . ethan : i do n't think she believed you 'd actually kill her . luke : she was addicted to the game . she lived for it . she did n't realize it had all been played out . ethan : you know , i do n't get why she 's still coming after you after all this time . luke : do n't bother to try to understand her , dodge . she was insane . crazy bitch . i should 've killed her 30 years ago . but ... better late than never , huh ? it 's over . ethan : well , what about lulu ? if helena took her ... laura : you 're right . she was the only one who knew where lulu was .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , is that why you 're here ? you want me to tell you not to marry jax ? you want me to tell you that we could try again ? brenda : i wanted to tell you about my engagement , because i did n't want you to have to hear about it from someone else . sonny : why did n't you call or why did n't you send an e - mail or try another letter ? brenda : oh , so you can rip it up like you did the first one ? that 's a genius idea . sonny : you left me . i was in a free fall . i did n't know what was in the letter . i was afraid to read what was in the letter . i was afraid that i would lose the love that you always had for me . when it was good , you know , we would drown in each other . i thought that all would be gone . brenda : what if it 's not ? what if ... we could try again ? sonny : you just told me you 're marrying jax . brenda : i ... had no idea that you 'd never read my letter . if you had -- sonny : what ? what if i had ? brenda : i 'm just saying , if you had , you might have come to me , and things might have -- maybe things could have been different .

[ scene_break ] ric : i got your call . what was so urgent ? sonny : just came by from seeing your wife . ric : well , you had to know that she was going to revisit the custody issue . sonny : yeah . hmm . when i went to confront her , the court - appointed shrink was there . ric : and i gather you gave less than a favorable impression . sonny : alexis set me up , ric . i want you to take a message to her . ric : what , are you going to give me an order now or you want my help ? sonny : okay , you were willing to compromise over kristina 's custody . ric : yeah . sonny : alexis did n't make that possible , all right ? she wants a fight , i 'll give her a fight because i 'm going to break her . there 's not going to be an 11th - hour change of heart or what 's good for the kid -- she 's gone way too far this time . i 'm going to do whatever it takes to get sole custody , and when i do , alexis will never see her daughter again .

[ scene_break ] alexis : my pregnancy with kristina was completely unplanned . it resulted from one single encounter . louise : is that why you did n't tell mr. corinthos he was kristina 's father ? alexis : dr. winters , i did n't tell him because i was afraid . i was afraid because his business , his emotional problems , his relationship with his wife is -- it 's dysfunctional and unstable . there 's a myriad of reasons why i did n't tell him and that i 'm afraid that kristina 's well - being is jeopardized .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : hmm , you 're looking a little calmer . carly : oh , yeah ? well , anger has that effect on me . so alexis is taking sonny back into family court . she wants sole custody of kristina again , and that woman she 's sitting with over there -- that 's a shrink . you should hear what she 's saying about sonny . lorenzo : i 'm sure sonny can handle alexis . carly : you know what ? sonny needs his children , they need him , and if alexis was n't such a selfish , sanctimonious witch , she would understand that . louise : thank you . alexis : thank you . carly : she 's leaving . will you excuse me a minute ? lorenzo : mm - hmm . carly : do n't put your phone away -- you 've got another call to make to your lawyer . call him back , tell him that you 're taking the petition away for sole custody because if you do n't , you are going to lose kristina -- for good . [ scene_break ] ric : so is this the next step in the negotiating process , sonny ? you and alexis refuse to compromise first and then you decide to hurl threats at one another until one of you backs down first ? sonny : i 'm not backing down , ric . i 'm going to do what i can at any means necessary to keep my kid . ric : kristina loves alexis . sonny : great . kristina loves me , too . ric : alexis -- kristina wants to be with alexis -- her mother . sonny : well , you know , kids want a lot of things , ric , that are n't good for them . ric : alexis has her faults , sonny , all right ? granted -- we all do . i mean , look at the two of us . we 've never had a good relationship and recently , i think we 've made some kind of progress . i mean , we 've actually even given each other the benefit of the doubt once or twice . sonny : mm - hmm . ric : all that is going to stop the minute you try to take kristina away from her mother . i have to side with my wife . sonny : ric . i 'd rather not have you as my enemy . i may be doing you a favor . once i break alexis , you may have a shot at getting sole custody when your kid 's born . ric : i 'm not going to separate my child from its mother the way i was separated from ours . sonny : if you were standing where i am , you might change your mind . reese : i 'm here . what 's the big emergency ? ric : what , did you bring reese in on your plan now ? reese : what plan ? sonny : no -- my brother , he was just leaving . ric : `` my brother . `` sonny : well , you 're my brother . ric : i 'm glad -- i 'm glad you can say that now knowing full well that i 'm in the middle of this whole thing between you and alexis . sonny : well , i just thought i 'd say it once because -- you know , before we start hating each other . ric : i do n't hate you , sonny , but i 'm not going to deliver some kind of a message to alexis . i 'm going to tell her the same thing i 'm telling you -- i think that the custody agreement should stay exactly the same . kristina is best served by having both of her parents in her life no matter how flawed . sonny : well -- ric : all right . reese : what was that all about ? sonny : well , you could decide if i get to keep my daughter . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . steven : hey . elizabeth : how 's rachel doing ? steven : well , she 's stabilized , so there 's a pretty good chance she 's going to recover . elizabeth : you did it . steven : yeah , barely . elizabeth : but i ca n't imagine operating on somebody i 've had a relationship with . i mean , it would be tough enough having a stranger 's life in your hands . steven : a life is a life . elizabeth : you 're an excellent surgeon , steven . but i saw you freeze up in there . steven : yeah . remember when i told you that i had performed this operation before when i was a resident ? rachel and i did it together and we botched it and that 's when the patient died . and then when i was looking down at rachel and she was lying on that table , she was in the same condition , it just felt like our lives had come full circle . elizabeth : you were afraid you 'd make the same mistake ? but you did n't . i mean , she pulled through . steven : i was so afraid , liz . i was afraid that i was going to kill her . elizabeth : how come you never told me about this before ? i thought you had a perfect record in the operating room . steven : technically , i still do . no , rachel stepped up and she took full responsibility , so i guess i owe her my career . [ scene_break ] courtney : you know , that was really decent of mac to push through my paperwork and get me out on bail . jax : he knows you 're not going to run . he knows that you 're innocent . courtney : now i just have to prove it . where 's rachel ? elizabeth : she had emergency surgery . steven : she 's -- she 's in recovery . elizabeth : steven saved her life . courtney : that 's almost too ironic for words . steven : i 'm sorry ? courtney : rachel wants you dead , steven . she asked me to kill you . [ scene_break ] alexis : carly , i 'm sure you 've heard -- i 'm very worried about my daughter . i 'm seeking permanent custody . carly : michael just died . and you were going to deprive sonny of contact with his only daughter ? alexis : this is n't about sonny , this is about his children . you have always put him first , carly -- his happiness , his sense of ownership -- sometimes over the well - being of your own children . carly : sonny is n't a danger to his children and you know that , alexis . it is an excuse that you use when you are feeling insecure . you 're doing this out of an obsessive fear of losing kristina 's love and you are so determined to be the only important person in her life . you cling to her , you make sure there are no other options because you can not put the needs of your daughter ahead of your own . alexis : i believe that morgan 's life is in jeopardy . i believe that michael may have died because you allowed sonny to adopt him and it breaks my heart that i ca n't protect morgan , but i will damn well do what i need to do to protect my daughter . carly : okay , you know sonny could 've taken kristina away from you before and he did n't . but you know he is not going to hesitate now , and when the dust settles and you 've lost kristina for good , you are only going to have yourself to blame . oh . lorenzo : feel better ? carly : arguing with alexis is a waste of breath . you know , that woman is so sure of her own superiority . she is so convinced that she is right about everything , nothing penetrates . the only way to stop her is to hit her where it hurts . [ scene_break ] sonny : alexis got a judge to bar me from seeing kristina until the new custody agreement is reached . reese : sorry . sonny : yeah . she 's going to attack my whole life , you know , try to prove that i 'm a criminal . reese : well , so far , nobody 's been able to prove that . sonny : yeah , and she 's going to try to get you to testify because i 'm being investigated in the sandoval shootings . reese : oh , right . well , i tried to warn you against moving on the sandovals in the first place , you know ? did n't i ? sonny : yeah . yeah , you did . what are you going to say if they call you to testify ? reese : oh . i 'm going to tell the court that -- that you 're a loving and dedicated father and that you 've been the subject of several f.b.i . investigations but no proof linking you to organized crime or the sandoval shootings has surfaced . i 'm going to say that in the eyes of the law , you 're innocent . sonny : thank you . reese : i 'll only be telling the truth , sonny . you should try it sometime . [ scene_break ] steven : all those times i questioned you about rachel , you never said anything . jax : she 's been blackmailing courtney . courtney : look , when rachel thought i was going to tell someone the truth , she poisoned jax . he had a seizure . elizabeth : oh , that 's horrible . steven : well , rachel 's hated me all these years . elizabeth : i do n't understand . if rachel hates steven , why did she kill a.j . ? steven : okay , rachel and a.j . are complete strangers , so it would be almost impossible to pin a murder on her because she would have no motive . courtney : and no one would suspect me of killing your brother . jax : yeah , rachel was trying to orchestrate two perfect murders with no repercussions . courtney : well , she set it up really good . i mean , the police believe that i had means , motive , and opportunity to kill a.j . jax : and they also have forensic evidence . steven : which rachel may have contaminated . she was around the day i received the forensics on a.j . 's murder . jax : she had access to it ? steven : briefly . jax : well , you have to go to mac with this information . steven : look , i 'm sorry , but this all just seems so unbelievable . okay , rachel 's -- okay , she 's always been a little high - strung , but i just do n't believe that this is a woman who is capable of murder . courtney : well , believe it . rachel killed a.j . in cold blood . [ scene_break ] a.j . : still thinking about jason ? michael : i want to call him . a.j . : fine . but , michael , i want you to know if he comes to get you , it 's not because he loves you . it 's because he wants to take you away from me again . michael : it 's not true . jason loves me . a.j . : why do you think that ? hmm ? is it because he gives you big presents ? michael : no . it 's because he explains stuff , never gets mad , and he read to me about the world when i was a baby . a.j . : that 's not true . jason -- jason did n't read to you , michael . michael : yes , he did . a.j . : no . i did . look , there was a time , right , when you were little , you lived with me at my parents ' house and every night , i would sit up with you and i would read to you from books just like this one . michael : mom said jason read to me . a.j . : yeah , well , she lied about that , too . i know this is -- this is tough to hear . but the only one who has been honest with you the whole time is me .

[ scene_break ] lucky : it 's disturbing how you 're able to rationalize . i mean , it 's brilliant when you 're doing a con or running a scam or whatever . luke spencer , the master of spin . nobody does it better , right ? but we both know the real reason you were n't at jake 's service . luke : i just told you the real reason . lucky : no , no , you tried to feed me some line of bull about your concern for me and elizabeth . i 'm sure there 's a small percentage of truth in that . that way you can ease your conscience and convince yourself that you 're not lying . but , dad , come on . it was all about you . your guilt , your remorse . you wanted to spare yourself the discomfort of sitting in a church surrounded by people who loved jake and grieved for him , knowing that his life was cut short because of a choice you made . did it ever occur to you , dad , to ask me ... if maybe i needed you there ? huh ? maybe my day would have been just a little easier if my father was standing in support when i buried my son . luke : no . i 'm afraid it did n't occur to me . you 're right , i should have been there . my staying away was an act of cowardice . cowardice never helps . there 's no way to hide from what i 've done . [ scene_break ] jason : what made michael think he needed a gun ? abby : brandon got hooked up with some lawyer who released him on bail . they were threatening to take the case to trial . jason : you saw brandon ? abby : michael and i . he showed up out of nowhere like he always does . brandon said that his lawyer would argue that michael attacked him without provocation . they will put michael on the stand and they are going to bring up the fact that he 's on parole and send him back to prison . jason : so you dropped the attempted rape charges . abby : i had to . [ jason exhales ] abby : there 's no way i 'm going to let him go back to that hell hole because he defended me ! sam : okay , i need you to calm down , okay ? abby : he just showed up . sam , i thought it was michael , and he just started telling me that we needed to be together -- sam : okay , so , what happened ? you told brandon go away , he beat you up , and then michael went and got the gun , yeah ? abby : i 'm afraid he 's going to use it . [ jason exhales ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] brandon : how many kinds of loser are you , huh ? first , you 're too thick to realize that abby kicked you to the curb . what , now the picture 's a little clearer , your nut job solution is to kill me ? michael : you do n't deserve to live . you hit abby today . brandon : yeah . because she likes it . michael : what did you just say ? brandon : pay attention , idiot . you might just learn something . you see , some women actually get off on being slapped around . makes the sex hotter . abby 's one of them . but when she comes crawling down off that ceiling , she feels dirty . so she goes and finds some loser like yourself to have pity sex with so she can feel better about herself . trust me , pal ... you ai n't the first . [ gulps ] hey . you keep waving that thing around , i 'll add a weapons charge , and you 'll be back to pentonville . michael : and abby will never have to think about you again . for an idiot like me , the trade off is totally worth it .

[ scene_break ] abby : i screwed up . sam : how ? abby : i thought i was protecting him , but i think i provoked him into murder . sam : uh - uh . michael 's not a killer . abby : sam , he was really mad . if michael finds brandon right now -- sam : jason will get there in time . stop ! abby : man . it all changed so fast . michael and i were happy . we made love for the first time , and it was great . and then we went out for lattes , michael wanted to buy me a present . so we were just teasing each other back and forth , and then suddenly brandon appeared . started threatening michael , threatening dante . sam : dante ? abby : according to brandon 's new version of the way things happened , after michael attacked him for no reason , his cop brother came in and covered everything up . after which then michael 's rich parents paid me off to lie . sam : no . abby : how was i ever with this man ? what does that say about myself ? sam : mm - mmm . do n't do that . we all make bad choices . it 's called living and learning , okay ? abby : this is a nightmare . sam : trust me , jason 's going to take care of this . he 's going to make sure nothing happens to michael .

[ scene_break ] lulu : as horrible and as unfair as jake 's death is , it was an accident . any driver on lexington could have hit him . he did n't die because dad was negligent or because he 'd had a couple drinks . lucky : lulu , you 're just saying that because it 's what you need to believe . do n't you get it ? you 're in as much denial as dad is . well , i 'm not . not anymore . i 'm real clear on what happened and why . jake was killed because our father was drunk . lulu : he 's not a drunk . it was an accident ! the two of you are in so much pain and you need to be helping each other ! you have to let him off the hook and forgive him . luke : that 's easier said than done , sweetheart . lulu : do you see what 's happening ? you know him ! he feels horrible about his part in jake 's death . and he feels like he does n't deserve a son in his life if he 's taken one out of yours . so he 's going to do whatever it takes to make sure that 's what happens . losing jake was horrible . i do n't want to lose our family .

[ scene_break ] patrick : oh , hey , where you going ? you got to finish your carrots . emma : i want to get dressed for the ball . patrick : you 're getting dressed at grandma anna 's , remember ? emma : but i want to show you what i 'm gon na wear . patrick : i do n't think that 's such a good idea . remember what happened with your dance costume when you had all the grape juice all over it ? you remember that ? emma : i 'll be real , real careful . patrick : come on . i think it 's better that you get dressed there . plus you know what ? i want to be surprised the first time i see you . emma : you will be . i 'm the best act -- a duet with sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] felix : ooh ! hey , girl ! wait . is that cartullo ? and maha chang ? oh ! ares gainsbourg . ah , me likey . [ chuckles ] lucy : excuse me . pardon me . no , no , no . hands off . those are all my delicious dresses . felix : wait . all these dresses are yours ? lucy : all those are mine and mine alone . felix : but there 's -- there 's enough gowns here to outfit the oscars . lucy : i know ! is n't that amazing ? you do n't really think that the emcee should go up there on the stage in the same dress every time ? heaven forbid . felix : hmm . perish the thought . lucy : [ laughs ] sabrina : i 'm sure you 're gon na look amazing . lucy : thank you . i 'm just doing my duty to the nurses ' ball . [ gasps ] oh , hey ! okay , every take five ! get some water ! get something ! do whatever you want ! go , go , go ! yes , yes , yes , yes , yes . it 's wonderful ! you 're here ! kevin : hi . lucy : oh , hi . thank goodness . i have been putting more fires out than the port charles fire department . i need your help . kevin : i 'm sorry . i , uh , i 'm afraid that duty -- lucy : no , that 's okay . you just need to look at me and smile that delicious , sexy , sexy smile and tell me everything 's gon na be okay and i 'm not gon na go completely insane . kevin : that 's what i 'm trying to explain . all i can offer you is good wishes . i 'm not going to the ball . [ scene_break ] bobbie : we are running so late . carly : hello to you , too , mom . bobbie : honey , where is your dress ? i mean , do n't tell me you forgot . we 're supposed to be getting ready for the nurses ' ball , anna 's suite . carly : i ca n't go . bobbie : [ sighs ] carly : i have other plans . [ scene_break ] [ water running , stops ] sonny : you left me . i was in a free fall . i did n't know what was in the letter . i was afraid to -- to read what was in the letter . i was afraid that i would lose the love that you always had for me . when it was good , you know , we would drown in each other . i thought that all would be gone . brenda : what if it 's not ? what if we could try again ? [ door opens ] brenda : hmm . jax : something on your mind ? brenda : what ? um ... uh , yeah , i 'm -- i 'm trying to , you know , figure out what to wear . [ chuckles ] jax : sure it 's not something else ? brenda : i 'm guilty as charged . [ scene_break ] carly : mom , they 're your friends , you know . maxie just pretends to tolerate me . bobbie : which is exactly why i wanted you to join us -- so that felicia and anna could get to know you better . carly : i - i ca n't . i have something important to do , something i - i ca n't put off . bobbie : more important than the nurses ' ball that 's happening in your own hotel ? brenda : i want us to be honest with each other . i know that 's impossible for you . sonny : it 's payback . you wrote the letter , saying that you love me , you still wanted to be my wife , and you 're gon na wait for me in rome . when i did n't show up , you wanted to hurt me . and the way you do that is by getting back with him . brenda : no . sonny : unless you want me to talk you out of marrying jax . carly : more important to me . bobbie : okay . what are you up to , carly ? carly : do n't worry . i 'm just gon na protect the innocent and make sure the guilty are punished . [ scene_break ] jax : what exactly are you pleading guilty to ? brenda : mm . to ... [ clears throat ] i hate your ex - wife . jax : of course . brenda : i guess she 's not your ex - wife yet , because you ca n't get her to sign the divorce papers . jax : no , she just wants the attorney to look it over to make sure nothing has changed . brenda : oh , right , because you 're gon na take advantage of her . jax : she 'll sign the papers , and she will bring them to the ball tonight . brenda : i ca n't even imagine what she probably said when you told her that we 're getting married . jax : you ca n't imagine ? brenda : what -- what did she say ? jax : you want me to tell you ? brenda : mm - hmm . jax : uh , she said that she thought that you only agreed to marry me to get a reaction out of sonny . brenda : she 's hateful . jax : mm - hmm . and while i was over at her house asking her to sign the divorce papers , uh , she said that you were at sonny 's asking to get back with him . [ scene_break ] olivia : so , i 'm getting a little nervous here . obviously this whole nurses ' ball thing is a much bigger deal than i realized . maxie : yeah . you know , i only remember them from when i was little , but if they follow tradition , we 're gon na have a great time . i just wish dante and lulu were gon na be here . [ scene_break ] anna : oh , my god . i saw your face when i said frisco 's name . what is going on with you ? felicia : i did n't think that things could get any worse than what they could , but they did . anna : why ? you did n't . felicia : no . no . but -- anna : but what ? huh ? felicia : i finally admitted my feelings for frisco ... to myself ... anna : mm - hmm . felicia : ... to him ... and to mac . [ scene_break ] mac : [ as mr. marbles ] frisco is so wooden , he makes me seem like a real boy . [ normal voice ] not good ? duke : no , it 's -- it 's certainly witty . but i 'm just not sure the nurses ' ball is the proper platform for you to roast frisco . mac : it 's just an act . everyone knows that . do n't they ? duke : i think to the casual observer , it may appear that you are threatened by frisco . mac : [ sighs ] well , not so much threatened as desperately wanting to kick his selfish , deadbeat ass . duke : felicia loves you . mac : felicia loves both of us . she announced it . duke : i can see where that might be a test . mac : i 've been there before . look , felicia and i are good , frisco calls or , on occasion , shows up , and felicia 's torn . duke : what happens next ? mac : all the other times it ended , but not the way i wanted . duke : and this time ? mac : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kevin : my hospital in seattle just called . i have a patient in deep crisis . i have to go immediately . lucy : [ sighs ] well , doc , what about me ? i - i 'm in deep crisis . this is the first time we are doing the nurses ' ball in over a decade , and -- and i 'm the emcee . i got to do my emceeing stuff . and i 've set the standard so high for myself , and i 'm really worried that i - i could bomb . kevin : no . no , you 're not . lucy : i feel it , though . i - i feel the first worst stage fright i have ever had . what if it happens ? i - i need to have you here . the whole thing could just fall apart . kevin : no . no , it wo n't , because you 're in charge . and i 've never known you to fall apart with or without me . lucy : [ exhales deeply ] well , there 's a first time for everything . kevin : yes , but tonight wo n't be that time . lucy , i would n't go if i really did n't believe my -- my patient needed me . please do n't hate me . lucy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : i know i 'm gon na love your duet with sabrina . i ca n't wait . emma : i bet sabrina 's boyfriend will love it even more . patrick : really ? sabrina 's got a boyfriend , huh ? emma : she sure does . and someone does n't like it one bit . patrick : who 's that ? emma : felix . he wants sabrina 's boyfriend , magic milo . but magic milo does n't like boys . he likes sabrina and working out . patrick : okay . well , that 's good that sabrina 's got a new friend , huh ? emma : felix says he 's in love with magic milo 's abs . wait . what are abs ? patrick : okay . finish your carrots , all right ? and no gossiping . i got to make a phone call . [ scene_break ] felix : mmm . what i would do with these dresses . [ sighs ] oh , well , i guess we better get them moved . hello ? earth to sabrina . sabrina : huh ? what ? felix : we 're not gon na have any entertainment unless we move this rack . sabrina : is it possible for a phone to delete a message on its own ? felix : maybe . how do you know you have one ? sabrina : well , elizabeth told me that patrick was trying to get in touch with me and that he left me a message , but i never got it . felix : hmm . what was he calling about ? sabrina : i do n't know . elizabeth would n't tell me . felix : hmm . maybe he was calling to profess his undying love . if it 's important , he 'll call back . sabrina : you 're right . okay . i 'll steer . you push . [ cell phone vibrates ] sabrina : hi , it 's sabrina . please leave a message , and i 'll get right back to you . have a great day . [ beep ] patrick : hey , sabrina , it 's , uh -- it 's -- it 's patrick . um ... you probably know that because my number probably came up , but , uh , listen , i wanted to , um ... i just wanted to see if you were still coming to get emma to bring her to the metro court to get ready . she 's -- she 's very excited , so ... [ doorbell rings ] patrick : you know what ? that 's probably you . [ clears throat ] noah : [ sighs ] patrick : dad . noah : son . patrick : hey . come in , please . emma , look who 's here . emma : grandpa ! noah : hey , there she is -- my favorite granddaughter . emma : i 'm your only granddaughter . noah : oh , yeah . you 're still my favorite , though . patrick : [ chuckles ] so , what are you doing here ? noah : well , hello to you , too . patrick : no , i mean , of course , i 'm always happy to see you . it 's just today 's , uh , kind of hectic , is n't it ? emma : yes . noah : yeah . nurses ' ball and all that , right ? emma : are you coming ? noah : are you kidding ? i would n't miss it . emma : yay ! noah : yeah ! you seem kind of surprised to see me . patrick : i just did n't know that you 'd even ... i 'm sorry , i just -- i did n't expect you to be here . noah : supporting a great cause , and amfar , you know , very important cause , and ... robin is even more important . and i would n't miss that . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] sabrina : and , of course , the second i walk away , patrick called . felix : you 're kidding . did he leave a message ? sabrina : he did . he wants to know ... if i 'm picking emma up . felix : eh . sorry , girl . sabrina : i do n't know why i expected anything else . it 's just elizabeth made it seem like there was more to it . felix : well , at least you have magic milo and yours truly , the man with a plan . sabrina : plan ? what plan ? felix : that 's for me to know and you to find out . just come upstairs to the room after you get emma . [ scene_break ] mac : i 'm not giving up on felicia . duke : i 'm very pleased to hear it . mac : i 'm not gon na wait around while felicia goes back and forth trying to choose between frisco and me . [ scene_break ] anna : you told mac you have feelings for frisco , as well ? oh , my . how is he taking that ? felicia : i would n't know . he 's not speaking to me . [ scene_break ] mac : i 've always understood that frisco has a piece of felicia 's heart , and he always will . but i 'm not gon na spend my life wondering who she 's gon na choose every time frisco shows up . [ scene_break ] felicia : mac told me that i have to choose one . and he 's right . i have to pick someone and let the other one go . anna : who 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] mac : it 's out of my hands . but , you know , i kind of envy you . you still got a fighting chance for anna and no competition . duke : oh . no , you 're wrong there . i do have competition . i 'm competing with myself . [ scene_break ] jax : i thought you 'd be ready . brenda : well , you know how nervous i get . i hate getting dressed up . it reminds me of modeling . i feel like i 'm gon na shatter into a million pieces . this is stupid . jax : you do n't have to -- you do n't have to -- just relax , okay ? there 's no pressure on you tonight . brenda : yeah , well , that 's easy for you to say . you 're not gon na have carly in your face all night long . jax : just do n't let her get to you . brenda : why -- why , just out of curiosity , ca n't she just focus on her own pathetic life ? why does she have to -- jax : probably just being protective , you know . she 's convinced that you 're gon na hurt me . brenda : i 'm sorry . are you defending her now ? jax : what ? no . i 'm defending you , like i did last night when i told her she was wrong . brenda : yeah , of course , she 's wrong . that woman has to make everyone 's life as miserable as hers . jax : i told carly that you had absolutely no reason to want to get back together with sonny , because you love me , and you left him , right ? i mean , you were n't at sonny 's last night , were you ? [ knock on door ] brenda : of course not . i was n't with sonny last night . [ clears throat ] what do you want ? carly : just checking in . damn , jax , you look good . you always wore a tux well . [ door closes ] brenda : so , you just thought you 'd stop by and hit on my fiancé ? carly : no , no , i wanted to make sure the room was satisfactory , see if there 's anything you guys need . brenda : we do , actually . we need your name on divorce papers . thank you . carly : oh , i 'm gon na bring the divorce papers to the nurses ' ball tonight . and you can bring that million - dollar check . jax : excuse me ? brenda : what million - dollar check ? carly : oh , jax did n't tell you ? jax : oh , carly , come on . if you got something to say , just say it . carly : i bet jax a million dollars last night that you were gon na go to sonny 's and tell him about the engagement and ask him to give you a reason to call it off . jax : excuse me , but you 're gon na owe me that million dollars , because brenda was n't at sonny 's last night . carly : yeah , i heard brenda lying to you as she opened the door . jax : what makes you so sure ? carly : after you left my house last night , i went to sonny 's . see , i still have a key . and brenda was there standing in sonny 's living room asking him to take her back . i think your exact words were `` what if we try again ? `` have fun at the ball . [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] patrick : hi . sabrina : hello . patrick : um ... sabrina : oh , emma , hey ! it 's almost time to go to the metro court . you ready ? emma : i was born ready . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : go get your jacket , sweetheart . emma : okay . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : uh , sabrina , this is my father . noah : oh , i know nurse santiago . sabrina : yeah , emma and i sometimes skype with noah when i babysit . noah : oh , i wanted to say congratulations , too , on your graduation . sabrina : oh , thank you so much . how are things going with ingrid ? patrick : ingrid ? noah : uh , we 're not seeing each other anymore . sabrina : oh , that 's too bad . what about deb ? patrick : what 's going on here ? who 's ingrid ? who 's deb ? emma : we 're gon na be late . sabrina : okay , okay . we are going . are we going to see you at the ball ? noah : i will be there . sabrina : okay , great . you better get a good seat because our act is gon na rock the house , right , emma ? emma : right . sabrina : yeah . all right . let 's get out of here . go , go , go , go . emma : [ chuckles ] noah : see you , sweetheart . patrick : bye , baby . have fun , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : thank you .

[ scene_break ] kevin : i swear i would n't even consider it unless i really believed my patient was in danger . lucy : i know that , and i know you 're doing the right thing , and i also know i could never hold it against you coming to someone 's rescue . just like you rescued me . [ sighs ] kevin : i love you . lucy : i love you . i just wish i knew how i was going to get through the whole , entire ball without you here . kevin : you wo n't have to . i 'll be here in spirit . [ scene_break ] mac : you truly believe that anna does n't want to be with you , because she is the police commissioner , and you sometimes dabble in the less - than - legal ? considering when you were first together , she was a cop , and you were a straight - up gangster ? duke : what ? do you think it 's just an excuse ? mac : how many times do i have to tell you ? anna is trying to push you away because ... she does n't know how she feels . duke : because of faison . mac : he took away anna 's faith in her own judgment , made her doubt what she feels . look , give her something to trust , you know ? do n't stop fighting for anna now . [ scene_break ] felicia : i 'm gon na end this mess with mac and frisco the first chance i get . anna : okay . well , i know you 'll do right by everyone involved . felicia : hmm . i certainly hope so . anna : yeah . you can always talk to me about anything . you know that . felicia : you know same thing goes for you . anna : mm - hmm . yeah . i think , um , you know , duke and i , we -- we 've -- i think we 've worked things out . felicia : you mean by avoiding romance and pretending to be just friends ? i think that 's the opposite of working things out . anna : right . yeah . um ... okay , maybe it ca n't be worked out . felicia : have you tried ? [ knock on door ] anna : [ sighs ] it 's the door . felicia : we 're not done . anna : yeah . no , i 'm -- i 'm good . i 'm good . i 'm good . thanks . bobbie : room for one more ? anna : shh . come on in . look who 's here . bobbie : aah ! [ laughter ] felicia : ooh ! so happy to see you ! maxie : hey , where 's carly ? i thought she would be with you . bobbie : well , actually , i did , too . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carly : are you going to be there ? great . i ca n't wait for the nurses ' ball . i think it 's gon na be epic . let me call you back . since when do you let yourself into my house ? sonny : well , since you let yourself into my house , i thought i 'd return the favor . and it looks like you -- you left this at my house last night while you were spying on me and brenda . [ scene_break ] brenda : she is amazing . she ca n't just let there be one night to honor robin . she has to come in here and start telling ridiculous lies -- jax : okay , you know , stop it . stop it . brenda : i 'm gon na get ready . jax : no , no , no , no . you -- you ... answer me this question . was she telling the truth ? [ scene_break ] [ rhythmic knock on door ] anna : i 'll get it . [ clears throat ] hello . felix : hi , uh , is this commissioner devane 's room ? anna : yes , i 'm commissioner devane . are you felix ? felix : dubois . anna : ah . got it . yes . right . felix : golden duck purveyor of coecoe cosmetics , nurses ' ball committee , nurse extraordinaire , and close friend of your granddaughter . anna : you know emma ? felix : know her ? i - i adore the little scamp . anna : me too . felix : her dad , on the other hand , is a dolt . i 've never met anyone so clueless . [ scene_break ] noah : come on . what 's bothering you ? patrick : i had a moment of clarity a few days ago . it was like i was in a fog for a while , in a fog that i did n't realize that i was in . [ sighs ] and i saw sabrina for who she really is , and , truth is , she kind of saved me . i was a mess , you know . i was in a really bad place after robin died , emma and i both . and , um ... and sabrina , she helped put me back together , piece by piece , just little by little , and she did it in those everyday kind of ways , you know , the kind that you do n't even notice . and i did n't notice . but it was her all along , and ... [ sighs ] i went to tell her how i felt , and then after she told me how she felt ... i chickened out . i basically ... i ran away , and now i 'm ... well , i 'm afraid i might be too late . [ scene_break ] anna : i do n't understand . what -- what exactly is patrick clueless about ? felix : um , maybe it is n't my place . um , hey , who wants some coecoe cosmetics ? maxie : ooh ! me ! felix : okay . felicia : i do . felix : here you are . that 's right . felicia : that sounds great . felix : gift bag for you . gift bag for you . gift bag -- you know , i feel like oprah handing out cars . [ laughter ] anna : can i just talk to you ? you know , that -- patrick is the father of my granddaughter , so if there 's something i should be concerned about , i - i would like to know . felix : you have -- you have nothing to worry about . patrick 's fine . i 'm just saying he could be better , less lonely . [ knock on door ] anna : oh , really ? why ? you have someone in mind that could help with that ? is that what you 're saying ? oh ! hi ! there she is ! emma ! maxie : emma ! anna : here she is . felicia : it 's about time you got here . bobbie : we were waiting for you . anna : this one 's emma 's . felix : unh - unh . you 're with me . sabrina : but i - i have to get ready . felix : what do you think you need me for ? sabrina : felix , really , i can handle it , okay ? felix : sabrina , who 's your best friend in town ? sabrina : you . felix : and as your best friend , not to mention someone who loves you dearly , i need to inform you that you absolutely ca n't handle it . so , please , allow me . [ scene_break ] mac : hey , you guys . hey , we 're here for our final rehearsal . duke : hey , kevin . i hope you do n't mind that i 'm going to be dancing with the lovely lucy this evening . kevin : i 'm just sorry i wo n't be able to take in the show . i 've been called out of town to help a patient . duke : ah . mac : sorry to hear that . kevin : if i can impose on both of you for a favor ... duke : it would not be an imposition . we will both take very good care of lucy while you 're gone . mac : and promise to ensure that she ends up on stage in her scanties , as is her custom . [ chuckles ] lucy : no , that is one custom -- that is one tradition we are absolutely , positively gon na break this year . kevin : good . the sight of you in your scanties should be for me alone . i 'll see you soon . lucy : not soon enough . [ sighs ] kevin : bye . lucy : whoo ! show ... must ... go ... on ! okay , come on . let 's go , let 's go . let 's practice rehearsal . you guys , that was a great one . [ scene_break ] sonny : you used to be a better spy . carly : i knew you were gon na find out i was there . you have security cameras everywhere . sonny : why were you there ? carly : because jax came by my house last night . apparently our divorce papers were n't filed properly , and technically we 're still married , which is a problem for jax because he wants to marry brenda . and as soon as he told me about their engagement , i knew that she would be at your house trying to win you back . sonny : that 's none -- that 's none of your business . carly : what are you talking about ? yes , it is . i mean , even if jax and i were n't still technically married , he 's josslyn 's father , and i 'm not gon na let brenda use him certainly not to try and get you back . sonny : and that gives you the right to break into my house and eavesdrop on a private conversation ? carly : what if the positions were reversed , okay ? what if you were engaged to brenda and she was going behind your back and she was going to see jax ? would n't you want me to tell you ? sonny : it 's not about what i want . it 's about jax and brenda , and you got to stay out of it . carly : [ sighs ] too late . 'cause i just told jax everything . [ scene_break ] brenda : you know that carly will lie about anything to anyone to get what she wants , and what that girl wants is to split us up . jax : she 's not here . i 'm asking you . were you at sonny 's last night ? brenda : yes , i went to see him last night . jax : why did you lie to me ? ! brenda : i - i thought it was -- jax : this would be almost funny if it was n't so pathetic . brenda : what are you talking about ? i thought that i should go tell him that you and i are engaged , that he should hear it from me first . jax : really ? if it was so innocent , then why did you lie to me ? brenda : no , i 'm telling you right now ! jax : oh , okay . brenda : because -- what do you mean , why ? because i knew you 'd get upset just like this , and i thought it was important that , you know , i talk to him and -- and know that we can be civil to each other , and i figured you would never have to know about it . jax : you did n't ask sonny for another chance ? you did n't use the words `` what if we can try again `` ? you did n't say that ? brenda : that 's not how it was . there was -- there was a lot said -- jax : you did n't offer to drop me and get back together with sonny ? none of -- none of that happened ? huh ? why do n't you tell me how it was ? [ scene_break ] carly : and i 'm sure brenda 's lying through her teeth right now to jax , but i saw the look on his face . he believes me . i just wish he would n't have done this to himself . sonny : to himself ? you had nothing to do with it ? carly : okay , you , jax , and brenda -- you guys started this dance long before i joined in . and that woman is obsessed with you . it 's -- it 's like an addiction with her , and i would almost feel sorry for her if she was n't such a selfish bitch . sonny : and you are the soul of compassion ? carly : maybe it 's easy for you because you 're the one she 's chasing after , but jax keeps getting his heart broken . sonny : well , then maybe he 'll finally buy a clue . carly : okay , i agree with you . i hope he is free of her now . sonny : anyway , i 'm done . i 'm out of here . carly : where you going ? sonny : i 'm going to the nurses ' ball to honor robin . carly : oh ! let me go with you . [ scene_break ] jax : why do n't you tell me exactly what happened at sonny 's ? brenda : i wanted to talk to him about my letter . jax : what letter ? brenda : the letter , the letter that i wrote to him before i left port charles . i gave it to robin . i asked her to give it to him . i told him that i loved him and that i was his wife and that i would be waiting for him in rome . he did n't show up . he -- he never even read the letter . he ripped it up . jax : oh . okay , so you wanted to make sure that he knew what you 'd written . brenda : no , i - i thought he already knew what i had written , and i just wanted closure , just like -- jax : why would you lie about the letter unless you were asking for another -- another chance ? come on , brenda . just do us both a favor . just say the words out loud . you want to try to get back together with sonny , right ? say it ! you want to get back together with sonny ! yes or no ? ! brenda : yes ! jax : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] mac : [ as mr. marbles ] so , they gave frisco the medal of dishonor . i said dishonor ! lucy : yeah .

[ scene_break ] shawn : okay . now that it 's just us , you can finally get real . jordan : i have no idea what you 're talking about . shawn : oh , you knew full well who the jeromes were before you even applied for the job . and you purposefully went to work for my enemy .

[ scene_break ] britt : you want me to ... to come pick up ben ? are you serious ? dr. obrecht : of course , i 'm serious . i took care of your problems with the police . i sent you that über - competent attorney . she negotiated for your release , which you could have thanked me for , britta . britt : um , i 'm sorry . thank you . are n't you taking a risk calling me ? dr. obrecht : the police will have no doubt violated your privacy and tapped your phone , which is why i called you at the hospital . you 're a doctor on staff . no one will think anything of it . britt : you 've thought of everything . dr. obrecht : may i remind you your mutter is a criminal mastermind ? britt : who would forget ? dr. obrecht : so , what are you waiting for ? your son is here . all you have to do is come and get him ... assuming you still want him .

[ sighs ] l - like i said , i have someplace to be . morgan : ava , when -- when you start over - explaining , i get a little nervous , so will you please just tell me what 's going on here ? if you do n't want to talk outside , that 's fine . we can go inside . you know what ? actually , let 's go inside . you can get warm , we can talk this out together . ava : morgan , we ca n't go inside . no one can see us together . morgan : what -- what are you talking about ? we 're outside . someone could see us . why ca n't we go inside ? it 's closed . the gallery 's closed . ava : i 'm not talking about some random art lover . what if julian sees us ? now that you 're living back under sonny 's roof , we 're not supposed to be together . remember ? morgan : mm - hmm . ava : do n't you know how dangerous it would be if julian saw us together ? morgan : yeah , i do know . except when i was pulling up , i watched julian leave . [ scene_break ] shawn : hey , you ca n't be back here . jordan : and you ca n't just say something like that to me and walk away . shawn : i do n't hear you denying it . and when you do n't , it 's kind of an admission . jordan : oh , oh , of course . of course , you would think the only reason that i would do something is to hurt you . i got news for you , shawn . not everything is about you . shawn : so why go work for the jeromes ? jordan : because i needed a job ! much like you probably needed one when you started running this place . shawn : kelly 's is not a front for a criminal enterprise . jordan : oh , really ? what about your other job working for mr. c ? shawn : now , hold on . do n't -- do n't try to turn this back on me , okay ? out of all the jobs in the world , you expect me to believe that you decided to choose that one ? how am i not supposed to think -- [ chuckles ] oh , jordan . back to your old tricks .

[ chuckles ] so i pursued it . i pursued him until he made it very clear to me that he wanted me to back off because of you . felix : [ chuckles ] well , unfortunately , brad and i had different , uh , expectations of each other . lucas : yeah . apparently so did we . felix : what do you mean ? lucas : [ scoffs ] well , like i said , brad and i had some things in common . he was sympathetic to what i was dealing with . he was a sounding board , somebody that i could talk to in addition to all the physical . and for five minutes , i thought we might become something more . but whatever brad and i had , it was all based on a lie . yeah . it all came to a screeching halt when i found out that brad had been helping britt and her mother steal my cousin 's baby . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't often invoke my authority as your oldest brother , but this is one of those days , okay ? your son is coming home . anything less is unacceptable . lulu : if only the world listened to you . nikolas : well , take my word for it . and apparently elizabeth thinks so , too , and dante . lulu : she was so comforting when she spoke . it was like she knew for a fact that our son was okay . wherever she gets her knowledge , it definitely made me feel better . nikolas : good , good . i 'm glad she was able to be there for you to turn to . lulu : she 's family . i mean , extended , but bonds like that are important when you 're going through something difficult . nikolas : yeah , yeah , i - i agree . you 're right . when you have that history to draw on , it 's nice . lulu : and since , um , as you mentioned before , you 're my oldest brother , can we agree that it 's your job to support me and do everything in your power to keep me from going crazy with worry ? nikolas : we can absolutely agree on that . lulu : even if that means allowing me to pry and meddle into areas of your life where you might ordinarily want me to steer clear ? nikolas : lulu , i want to help you any way i can , but i 'm -- lulu : great , so you wo n't mind if i tell you that elizabeth told me you stopped by her house to apologize for what you said to her when the engagement party imploded ? nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm appalled by my behavior . i was completely wrong to lash out at her like that when i should have been thanking her . it 's -- it 's inexcusable . lulu : it was unfair . no question . i do n't know if i 'd go all the way to inexcusable . nikolas : well , nothing elizabeth did was her fault . i had no right to blow up at her like that . and i - i upset her so much , i drove her right into ric lansing 's arms . lulu : no , you did n't . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you still love the child , do n't you , britta ? you 're not ready to simply hand him over to dante and lulu . britt : that 's the last thing i want , but it 's not that simple . he does n't belong to me . dr. obrecht : of course , he belongs to you . you carried him . you bore him . you love him , ja ? britt : of course , i love him . dr. obrecht : then it 's settled . britt : how is it settled ? dr. obrecht : you made your choice . you want him . now you have to take him . that is what life is , britta . the strong take from the weak . britt : and then what ? i come and pick up ben , and i am immediately a fugitive ? what kind of life can i give him on the run ? dr. obrecht : gott in himmel . you have so little faith in your mutter . [ chuckles ] i told you i have a plan . it 's all arranged . travel money , fake passports , everything you need to start a new life with your son . i ... i have n't always been what you needed , britta . i certainly have n't made your life easy . but you are a mother now yourself . i have seen how much you love your son . which is why i want to give you a new life with him . britt : is that even possible ? dr. obrecht : possible ? it 's already in motion . do n't you understand ? you can still be with your son . all you have to do is come and get him . britt : okay . tell me where you are .

[ scene_break ] ric : i married you , elizabeth , because i love you . elizabeth : so the part about you staying with me to prove that you 're better than sonny was , what , a lie you told out of anger , or a truth you could only tell a brother you hate ? ric : no , i hate sonny , all right ? fine , i admit to that . but that does n't have anything to do with whether i love you or not . elizabeth : so it 's an added bonus ? what , for those days when things go wrong and you 're feeling angry and impatient -- and believe me , all marriages have those days -- and you tell yourself `` just hang in there , `` but apparently not for love or for the sake of your vows . no , you do it to prove a point to sonny that you 're the better brother . it 's worth any sacrifice , right , i mean , even staying with me ? ric : wait a minute , i do n't -- it 's not a sacrifice to stay with you , elizabeth . i 'm with you -- i 'm with you because i want to be . but you got to want it , too . elizabeth : oh , no . no , no , this is not about me . ric : oh , yes , it most definitely is . look . marriage is about two people here , and both people have to be in it . both of them have to be willing to accept and trust one another , and you do n't trust me . elizabeth : well , can you blame me ? ric : no , not at all . no , i know how i 've lied to you repeatedly . i 've broken your trust many , many times . i 've kidnapped carly . i understand that i have given you every reason to despise me , but you said that you did n't . you said that you forgave me , elizabeth . but saying it and living it are two different things . elizabeth : you 're right . you 're right . i have forgiven you . i 'm not angry about what happened , ok ? i just need to know that this could never happen again . ric : i ca n't convince you of that , can i ? no matter how much you want to believe it , you -- you do n't trust me . elizabeth : not as long as you 're still competing with sonny . ric : elizabeth , do you see the paradox in that , huh ? i mean , if i -- if i lie to you about my hatred of my brother , then that allows you to pretend to feel safe . i mean , it 's not real safety . you 're going to constantly question my motives , you 're going to second - guess every decision that i make concerning him . i mean , it 's a comfortable illusion , one we both seem very happy to be living in . on the other hand , if i am honest with you about wanting to destroy my brother , that 's unacceptable . it 's not a part of me that you can deal with on any level . so what do we do ? i mean , lies do n't work , and honesty does n't work , either . how do we trust one another ? elizabeth : maybe we just ca n't . [ scene_break ] sam : look , jason , i can make up my own mind . i do n't need you or any other man to run my life . it would just really help to know what sonny really wants . jason : sonny wants you to wait here until he gets back . sam : he 's going to ask me to move in . jason : all right , then that 's what he wants . sam : but what if that 's what he thinks he wants ? jason : you know what -- you 're giving me a headache , sam . sam : sonny wants me to move in with him because we have fun together . i mean , when he 's with me , he laughs and he smiles , and besides this thing he has with you babysitting me , we really never , ever fight at all . he seems to fight with carly all the time , but maybe that 's what he wants . maybe deep down somewhere , he still loves her and he 's using me as a distraction so he does n't have to miss her . jason : so ? sam : `` so ? `` then by me staying here , i 'd be giving sonny what he thinks he wants rather than what he really wants , which is to be with carly , which means if i really did care about him , i should probably just leave . jason : ok , you want to know what i think ? sonny should figure out what 's best for sonny . you should figure out what 's best for you .

[ scene_break ] ethan : i liked kristina , all right ? she was a sweet kid who was having trouble navigating adolescence , as many teenagers do , you know . it did n't help that she had a psychotic mob boss for a father , you know . she took it hard , and i felt sorry for her . i knew she was crushing a little , yes , but i thought it was harmless , you know . i never thought she 'd act on it . skye : act on it . how ? ethan : about a month ago , sam , kristina 's older sister , came to me , and she said i needed to back off a little , because kristina was getting the wrong idea , so i did . but kristina would n't have it . she would track me down and flirt with me , and then finally she showed up at the haunted star all dressed up , and i told her on no uncertain terms that she was too young for me and i was n't interested . plus , she was underage . you know , the haunted star 's a bar , a gambling establishment . we could get shut down . so i told her to leave , and she threw a drink in my face , you know , and i overreacted . i grabbed her arm , and that 's the extent of my questionable behavior , you know . i guess when kristina said i did it , she was lying , you know , but she felt guilty enough to get the charges dropped . skye : well , if you 've been wrongly accused , then i 'm genuinely sorry . but i 'm not exactly the most objective eye . never had any use for alexis . think she 's a condescending , self - important twit . and sonny corinthos is the most self- absorbed person on the planet . i can understand why having parents like those would cause kristina to act out in dangerous ways . but the person who beat that girl is a monster , and whether it 's you or someone else , he needs to pay .

[ scene_break ] jason : spinelli , i hope you 're not pushing yourself too hard . spinelli : yeah , my only concern is for maximista . jason : and how are you holdin ' up ? maxie : let me just put your mind at ease . i did n't mention a single thing about seeing michael with sonny the night claudia was killed . even though that prosecutor treated me like a criminal , i stuck to my story . spinelli : yeah . from what i understand , she did more than that . she utilized her verbal dexterity to deflect and obfuscate and basically inspired massive frustration on the part of claire walsh . jason : i kind of had a feeling it would go that way . maxie : just an observation . that woman is kinda stuck on michael . i mean , i do n't think she 's gon na give up until she puts him on the stand . jason : well , the plan is to not let that happen . maxie , look , i know sometimes i get impatient with you . maxie : it 's okay . i know that i 'm basically an annoying person . jason : not today . you came through for us when it mattered , and sonny and i are very grateful . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm depending on you . i truly believe that your testimony is really the only thing that 's gon na turn this trial around , and there 's nobody more convincing . carly : when i lie . sonny : no , no . whatever . look , when you believe in something and you 're focusin ' everything , you can convince the jury that i killed claudia because i was defending you and josslyn . carly : right , and if i do n't perform like a trained seal or if , you know , the jury does n't believe me , you have your fall guy , right ? sonny : what are you talking about ? carly : if you get convicted , it 'll be my fault then , sonny . sonny : no , no , no . this is no one 's fault . it 's my fault , this whole situation . i was trying to protect michael , and you know what ? i made it worse . carly : no . no . stop . i 'm sorry . we 're all to blame . sonny : no , no , no . look , here 's the thing . when all the chips fall , you 're really the only one that i can count on . right ? and i 'm not saying that -- whatever . i mean , you 're fierce , and you 're not just doin ' it for me . you 're fightin ' for our son . because michael will not be able to have a great life if i 'm not set free , because this guilt over claudia will kill him , and he 's gon na feel responsible for sending his father to prison . carly : okay . [ knock on door ] sonny : whoa . diane : for once , i come with a glimmer of hope . maxie really came through for us today with her testimony . sonny : she did n't give up michael ? diane : not even a little . carly : oh , my god . that 's such great news . sonny : i thought she 'd sink the ship . diane : oh , ye of little faith . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : excuse me . alexis ? what 's up ? alexis : you need to get to the er . kristina 's been beat up again . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you must be really gratified . stone cold and mr. sir are finally in your debt . maxie : yeah , gratitude is nice , but trust is way better , jason 's , anyway . and since i know that 's not gon na happen , you should trust me and tell me what 's going on . spinelli : okay , look , if this is going where i think it is going , i have to caution you . the less that is said about certain things , the better . maxie : spinelli , i just gave testimony under oath , which means i perjured myself , and i feel like i at least get to know why . okay , fine . if you 're not gon na say it , then i will . mac told me that michael confessed to killing claudia . mac said he thought that michael was just trying to protect sonny , but michael was telling the truth , was n't he ? this whole thing has been just one big cover - up . sonny did n't kill claudia . michael did . spinelli : i 'm not real -- maxie : spinelli , do not lie to my face . spinelli : yes . your theory is correct . i mean , if sonny had struck the fatal blow , this would all be less painful and complicated . maxie : what happened ? spinelli : well , michael witnessed a fight between jax and mr. sir the night of claudia 's death , and i guess he decided to take off . i think canada was the intended destination . and on his way to the border , he saw the car that claudia has stolen crashed and abandoned at the side of the road , so he followed a path through the woods and to the cabin , where he saw claudia about to take the newborn baby from his helpless mother . so he picked up the nearest object he could find , the ax handle , and , well , you know the rest . maxie : so this whole thing has been about protecting michael . spinelli : i think the adults in michael 's life carry an enormous amount of guilt about michael 's shooting , so the idea of him going to prison for claudia 's death is unacceptable . and if mr. sir is tried and acquitted , double jeopardy applies , and since everyone assumes he 's the killer , the case 'll be closed . michael will never be exposed as claudia 's true , though accidental killer . maxie : well , i do n't know if this is ironic or poetic justice that sonny is on trial for the one murder he did n't commit . spinelli : well , it is noble to put his son 's welfare above his own . maxie : well , i feel bad for michael and kristina and morgan . i mean , at least dante is a grown man , fully formed . can you imagine being a kid in this world and trying to figure things out with sonny corinthos as your father ? [ scene_break ] max : hey , remember that summer you learned how to swim here in the ocean ? you used to love this place . michael : yeah , when i was a kid . i used to think that if something went wrong back home , i could just come out here , and by the time we got back , problem solved . i used to actually believe that being here , staying safe was helping , but it does n't work that way . max : you are helping , michael . michael : there are some problems that ca n't be fixed , and claudia 's death is one of them . i still think about her every day . the moment i hit her , why did n't i just wait or try to hold her off ? jason and sam would have gotten there . or if i had n't have hit her so hard -- max : michael , do n't do this to yourself . michael : i 'm sorry , max . i 'm just not used to killing people , you know ? if i would have just taken a second to think , none of this would have happened . [ scene_break ] steve : sorry , honey . i have to assess the damage . we can give you something for the pain . alexis : i 'll be right back , sweetie . sonny : how is she ? alexis : not good . sonny : what happened ? alexis : i found her unconscious , and she was beaten up . sonny : all right . alexis : oh , no , no , no . please do n't go in there . sonny : you do n't think she wants to see me ? alexis : you scare her sometimes . how is she ? steve : i 've ordered a series of tests and x - rays , but nothing seems to be broken . alexis : she was unconscious when i found her , so she 's kind of going in and out . steve : we 'll run a ct scan . alexis : okay . steve : but i will go out on a limb and say the most i expect to find is a possible concussion . kristina : i 'm so sorry , mom . steve : do n't be sorry , baby . do n't be sorry . you have nothing -- kristina : no . i made a mess of everything . you do n't even know . alexis : no , you did n't . no , you did n't . listen to me . you 're gon na just concentrate on getting better , okay ? that 's all you have to do . it 's okay , babe . it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : ethan lovett just ran out of chances . he has to die tonight . [ scene_break ] diane : i always find that life is a bit more manageable with a good cabernet . carly : thanks . i needed this . i ca n't believe kristina was beaten up again . diane : ethan lovett is one sick puppy who needs to be put down . carly : mm . except i do n't believe ethan did it . diane : jason told me that after he spoke with you , you did n't feel that kristina was perhaps telling the truth , so do you have another candidate ? carly : yeah , her boyfriend kiefer . diane : mm - hmm . and what do you base this conclusion on ? carly : because i know that kiefer is n't a nice kid . he 's been mean to michael , and he 's bullied morgan . and then i went and i had a conversation with kristina , and i came away convinced that she was n't telling the truth . and then when i told michael what happened to kristina , he went to kiefer the first thing . you know , it 's all circumstantial evidence , but you 're the lawyer . i do n't need to tell you how circumstantial can lead to the truth . diane : well , this could n't come at a worse time . not that any time is a good time . that 's not what i 'm saying . my point is that if sonny decides to avenge kristina and anything happens to either kiefer or ethan , then it 's as good as over . sonny 's goin ' down .

[ scene_break ] abby : dante 's right . i mean , that was a stupid impulse for me to lie for you . the quickest way to get yourself incriminated is by giving a false statement that could be disproved . michael : you do n't need to cover for me , okay ? it 's -- [ sighs ] look , even if it got to that point to when they bring me in for questioning , my family has diane miller on retainer . she 's a great lawyer , and every single cop in the pcpd is terrified of her . abby : okay , but even the greatest lawyer loses sometimes . michael : is that a nice way of saying she 's not good enough to keep me out of pentonville ? abby : you just ca n't risk that happening again . michael : you want to know why i went to prison ? i confessed when everybody but dante was begging me not to . it was looking like my dad was going to get convicted , and i did n't want him to go to prison for something that i did . abby : you have this instinct to protect people . it 's a beautiful thing , michael , but it scares me because you never seem to think about protecting yourself . [ knock on door ] johnny : bad time ? abby : we 're kind of in the middle of something . johnny : brandon lowell ? michael : what about him ? johnny : dante showed up on my doorstep a few minutes ago to inform me that he 'd been shot dead in vaughn 's parking lot . abby : why would dante come to you ? johnny : because i own the club . maybe he 's looking for some obscure reason as to why i 'd want him dead . michael : look , if you think that dante 's going to try and set you up , that 's not going to happen . johnny : i 'm not worried about me , michael . i 'm worried about you . this is going to get real bad , real fast . you 're going to need some help . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] dante : hey . sam : hey . dante : jason here ? sam : not at the moment . dante : do you know when he 'll be back ? sam : not really ? dante : mind if i wait for him ? sam : no , yeah . come on in . why do you need to see jason ? dante : look , i do n't want to make life any worse for him . i know he 's going through something with the loss of jake . but abby 's ex - boyfriend brandon was found shot dead in vaughn 's parking lot , and the pcpd has jason as their lead suspect .

[ laughs ] kristina : hey . lisa : hey . [ scene_break ] sam : why do the police always suspect jason first ? dante : look , you probably know a hell of a lot more than i do . but brandon beat up abby again . michael found out . the last time he did it , michael nearly killed the guy . jason will do anything to protect him . and given the circumstances around jason right now , i think he might have gotten a little sloppy , and the pcpd thinks they can tie the murder back to him . [ scene_break ] abby : i appreciate you trying to help , but what exactly could you do ? johnny : i can talk to the girls and the staff , make sure everybody 's on the same page about what they saw or did n't see . i can talk to any witnesses that were on my property , take care of them , too . if there 's anything you guys need , said or not said , consider it done . michael : okay . why are you being so helpful ? johnny : well , to be honest with you guys , i feel partly responsible for what happened . i know that brandon had been roughing you up for quite some time , and i should have been the one to shut him down . if there 's anything you need , let me know . michael : okay . i will . thanks . johnny : take care of yourself . abby : thanks . what do you think that was about ? michael : i do n't know . but that is the second time johnny zacchara 's gone out of his way to help us . abby : i know . now i 've got you in even deeper . michael : look , abby . we 've been dancing around the most important question all night . why have n't you asked me if i killed brandon ? or do you think you already know the answer ? [ scene_break ] brenda : have i told you how much i love my new family , all of them ? sonny : and guess what . brenda : what ? sonny : summertime , speedboat . brenda : speedboat ? [ sonny laughs ] brenda : babe , i love your speedboat . you know that , right ? sonny : yeah . yeah . [ brenda giggles ] [ knock on door ] brenda : oh , my god . who is that ? sonny : if that 's diane -- brenda : oh , wait . maybe it 's spinelli . sonny : do n't terrorize your husband .

dante : you want to be a stripper ? lulu : just long enough to lure out the guy who 's been beating up the dancers vaughn 's . dante : not a chance . lulu : okay , you 're not ? keeping an open mind . all i would have to do i basically exit the place looking like -- dante : no , if you think i 'm gon na let you be the bait for that sick bastard , you 're crazy . ewen : paged me ? elizabeth : yes . i wanted to apologize again for canceling our date . ewen : could we make a rule , okay ? no more apologies . elizabeth : it 's just that my grandmother usually has the week free to babysit , and this time , she happened to have plans . : ewen : i understand . besides , i did stand you up first . this makes us even . elizabeth : so , do you want to try for another time ? ewen : what about now ? are you free for lunch ? elizabeth : you do n't have patients to see ? ewen : i did have one scheduled , but she appears to be a no - show . connie : jason freakin ' morgan . who does he think he is , coming up here asking me all these questions ? `` why would you sit behind your desk ? did you see the gun over there in the corner ? `` [ scoffs ] please . i should have just told him . i should have just looked into his pretty little eyes and said , `` kate howard ai n't here no more . i 'm connie falconeri , and i do n't take crap from nobody . `` heh . probably would have gone scurrying to sonny , though , and telling him everything . sonny : tell me everything about what ? connie : sonny , what are you -- what are you doing here ? sonny : do i need a reason ? connie : no , of course not . [ chuckles ] so good to see you . sonny : who was gon na tell me what ? connie : nothing . it 's -- it 's nothing . sonny : what do you mean ? connie : sit down . [ clears throat ] sonny : you seem a little off right now . connie : i think you worry too much . sonny : what 's going on ? connie : it 's nothing . it 's -- i do n't want to talk about it . sonny : you know what ? if it matters to you , it matters to me . connie : all right , but i do n't -- i do n't think you 're gon na like it very much . jason : just trying to prove that sonny was framed . spinelli : normally , i would love to be of assistance , but ... jason : no , no , no , it 's okay . i just need to figure out how that gun got into kate 's office . spinelli : perhaps kate could be helpful ? jason : no , she was n't . did sam ever find out how franco got that video of me ? spinelli : i was inquiring when we got interrupted . it 's probably for the best . jason : why ? spinelli : well , if samantha did learn something , she would want to share it with you first . john : just take a breath . whatever it is , i 'm gon na help . sam : i already told you , you ca n't . john : try saying it out loud . not choking on it , sometimes it 's easier to see things clearer . sam : oh , just stop , okay ? i ca n't handle the `` good cop `` routine right now . john : why do n't you forget about the whole cop thing ? sam : can you just get the hell out of here , lieutenant mcbain ? you 're the last person i should be talking to . matt : whoa ! whoa . what are you doing here ? patrick : i work here . matt : i 'm certain monica would give you off all the time you 'd need . patrick : that 's the last thing i need . matt : okay . i just -- maybe you should be with emma . patrick : my daughter 's life got flipped upside down . she needs to be as normal as possible , and that means sticking to a routine . i drop her off at daycare , and i come to work . matt : i 'm just -- t i just want to make sure that you have enough time to recover . that 's it . patrick : i do n't think i 'm ever gon na recover from my wife death . but i will go on for emma 's sake . it helps to be out of the house . whenever i 'm there , i 'm just reminded of everything i lost . i look around , i see her in every room , i hear her voice , and it 's ... not that it helps to be here . matt : yeah . maybe you should take a tr . patrick : yeah . yeah , that 's a great idea . take a trip . i should take emma . where do you think she 'll like ? rome , tokyo ? paris ? which one ? matt : clearly , i 'm not helping . that 's fine . uh ... just forget i said it . patrick : if i take emma on a trip , i have to come back at some point . and ... the pain is just gon na be there waiting for us . it does n't matter if we 're in our home where we were a family or if it 's here , where she died . lulu : okay , i 've never met delores ' husband . he would n't suspect a thing . he would think that i 'm just a new dancer at the club . dante : okay . what happens when he attacks you ? what happens then ? lulu : you 're shadowing me . so before he even thinks of making a move , you jump him . dante : it 's not that simple . lulu : i do n't care about simple . this has been going on for months . we ca n't sit on our hands while another woman gets beat up . dante : investigations -- they take time . it 's slow . there 's dead ends , false leads . but , look -- we have a suspect right now . we do n't need you to get up on a stripper pole for us to get this guy . spinelli : had fair samantha found something whilst on her trip , i 'm sure she would have waited around to inform you . jason : i do n't think there 's anything to find , spinelli . franco 's dead . he left the dvd as one last mind game . spinelli : oh . you sound considerably more resigned and , might i say , rational about franco , at least more so than you used to be . jason : maybe i am . but now sam 's the one who ca n't stop looking for answers . spinelli : well , franco 's reign of terror was directed at you both . maybe she 's seeking closure , and when she 's able to achieve that , she 'll be able to focus on the wee one . jason : yeah , i think things should settle down once sonny 's trial 's over . but first , i got to prove that he 's innocent . spinelli : that 's a daunting task . jason : i do n't think sonny has any idea what he 's in for . spinelli : he must be aware of the severity of the charges , which are tragically compounded by the fact that one of the victims of the accident was a child , which , of course , presupposes law enforcement to rush to judgment . jason : it 's not a frame job , though . it 's where the gun was found . i started to question kate . something 's going on with her . connie : i do n't really know how to say this . sonny : you can tell me anything . you know that . connie : you promise you wo n't get angry ? sonny : well , i do n't like making promises i ca n't keep . connie : well , then maybe we should talk about this . sonny : well -- no . we agreed to , you know , make a fresh start , and maybe got to be able to trust each other with everything . connie : you 're right , you 're right . uh ... of course . i -- all right , i was in my office , working on my layout , and he came in . i was trying to be really friendly , and he became very hostile . just like he was staring right through me , you know ? sonny : that bastard mcbain came in here ? what 'd he say to you ? connie : no , not mcbain , sonny . it was jason . sonny : hold on . what do you mean jason ? connie : he said some things that made me feel really uncomfortable . sam : if you meant anything you said at the church that night , if you have any compassion for me at all , you 'll go . john : why do you find it so hard to believe that i want to help you ? sam : because you 're investigating my husband . john : no , i 'm a cop . i 'm investigating sonny corinthos , all right ? let 's get this clear . your husband was in the hospital the night of the accident . he was at involved . sam : i 'm supposed to take your word for that ? john : yeah , you should . you know , i 'm not using you , and i 'm not lying to you . and so unless you have something to tell me that directly affects the case against sonny -- sam : i do n't . john : well , then good . anything you tell me , stays with me . sam : you should probably just go . john : hey , i want you to forget about what i do for a second and think about that night in the church . why did you feel compelled to talk to a complete stranger ? sam : i do n't know . i told you i did n't really feel like i was talking to a stranger . john : you trusted me , then . trust me now . sam : no , actually . i de the mistake of talking to you that night ... no and i 'm not gon na do it again . elizabeth : thank you . i did n't realize men still did this . ewen : what can i say ? my mum raised me to be a gentleman . i 'm very well- trained when it comes to pulling out chairs and opening doors . elizabeth : and rescuing drowning women and not sticking around to take the credit . ewen : [ chuckles ] well , i ca n't say she taught me that one . but i 'm sure she 'd approve . elizabeth : well , thank her for me . and i only hope my boys grow up to be as chivalrous as you . ewen : well , i do n't think you have anything to worry about . your boys appear to have a pretty great mum themselves . elizabeth : thank you . well , so far , i know that you 're a gentleman , and you 're a psychiatrist who likes to paint . is there anything else i need to know ? ewen : what else do you want to know ? matt : this hospital is so much more than a place where robin died . you have to think about all the good that she did . you have to think about all the people that she saved here . patrick : like -- like me . matt : sure . patrick : you know , when i went to the lab to go look for robin , i smelled gas . why did n't i just pull the alarm ? matt : stop , stop . no , you ca n't -- you ca n't do this . you 're gon na drive yourself crazy . you can ' go and question every single detail that happened . you just ca n't do it . patrick : well , that 's all i do . matt : it was an accident . that 's it . it was a terrible accident . patrick : that 's what i tried to tell maxie . look , i really -- i do n't blame her for what happened . matt : i kw . i know you do n't . and can i just say , i really appreciate you going and talking to her . i just wish it did more good . patrick : she still trying to blame herself ? matt : she pled guilty . two counts of murder . she 's just awaiting sentencing . her life , her career ... it 's over . sonny : so , what did jason say ? connie : he was asking all these questions about the gun . sonny : right . connie : how it got here when i knew about it . sonny : uh - huh . connie : you know , as if i was n't completely shocked that the gun was found here in my office . sonny : he was just trying to prove that i did n't shoot out anthony 's tires . connie : sonny , i want jason to prove that you 're innocent , but i do n't think it 's fair that he accuses me . jason : you know , i asked kate to take me through what happened the day the gun was found in her office , and she completely went off on me . spinelli : she does seem somewhat uneasy in your presence . perhaps she 's intimidated or she mistrusts your friendship with carly because she views her as a rival for sonny 's affections . jason : this went way beyond `` uneasy . `` kate almost seemed paranoid . connie : i realize that jason feels responsible for protecting you -- that 's his job -- but he does n't have to protect you from me . i would never hurt you . sonny : i know . so does jason . connie : you were n't here , sonny .. i saw a totally different side of jason . he was angry . he was threatening . and to be honest with you , i was very scared . jason : she kept saying i was accusing here , which was crazy . i mean , why would i ? i know kate knows nothing about guns . she has no reason to frame sonny . spinelli : i fear you may have misinterpreted . miss howard has the unfortunate habit of unloading her frustrations on those undeserving of her wrath . i 've seen her most harsh to maxie , on occasion . jason : yeah , something had to happen to make her have a meltdown like that . john : here . you need to stay hydrated . sam : so you just walked into the kitchen and helped yourself . john : yeah , i 'm very resourceful that way . sam : you 're not gon na leave , are you ? john : no , i 'm not leaving . i got business with your mom , so you can either stay here , we can stare at the walls , or you can trust me to tell me what 's going on . sam : unh - unh . that 's fine . i 'll just be the one to go -- john : hey , hey , hey ! t hey , listen , i -- i do n't think you 're in the condition to drive anywhere , okay ? sam : so what ? i 'd probably just wrap my car around a tree . it 'd probably be best for me anyway . john : no . do n't you ever say that , all right ? you got this amazing thing going on inside you . all i know is all this stress is not good for the little one , okay ? sam : i should be talking to jason right now . [ breathes deeply ] i did n't tell him the truth about robin , and it almost ruined her marriage . [ sighs ] you should know the truth about this , too . [ sighs ] john : the truth about what ? sam : what i found in new york . i should tell him . i just do n't know how . john : you think he 's gon na react badly ? sam : [ scoffs ] that 's an understatement . john : he would never get violent , would he ? sam : no . what ? of course not . no . jason ... would never hurt me or the baby . we love each other . you just -you do n't know him . john : okay . sort of think i know you . sam : okay . well ... [ clears throat ] if you knew me , you would know . that i am not ... afraid of jason and afraid for him . and jason is normally so calm and in contr . he can handle anyone , pretty much , no matter how dangerous . but there 's this one man , and it does n't matter that he 's -- he 's dead . the mind games all led up to this , and i 'm sure if he 's burning in hell , he 's laughing about it . john : i heard a little bit about this . your husband was the target of a serial killer . guy was liken artist , right ? sam : oh . an artist ? no . no , no . he was a sick freak . but it always -- it always came back to this . it was always a game , and the game was never over . it still is n't . john : so this is about franco . elizabeth : you know , we 've had a few aussies here in town . lucky 's brother , ethan , for one . ewen : not anymore , though . he disappeared right around the time my patient died . elizabeth : oh . god . i 'm sorry . i should n't have brought him up . it 's okay . i 've had to make peace with the fact that i ca n't save everyone . elizabeth : i 'm grateful you saved me . ewen : okay . now that we 've covered my accent and established that , with ethan gone , i seem to have cornered the market on australians around here . elizabeth : well , unless jax comes back . ewen : jasper jacks ? elizabeth : yeah . do you know him ? dante : there 's no way in hell i 'm letting you do this . lulu : okay . then give me an alternative . you 're the expert at careful police investigations . tell me what we can do to bust eddie ? dante : if it even is eddie . lulu : or whoever it is . if you 're not gon na let me pose as a dancer , then tell me how we 're gon na bust him . dante : we are n't gon na bust him . i love you , and you are amazing , but you are not a cop . it 's not on you to solve this . spinelli : kate howard does n't need a particular reason to melt down . i 've seen her erupt on maxie merely for something as petty as not getting a client on the phone fast enough . jason : yeah , but i do n't work for kate . spinelli : nor do i , but i 've incurred the wrath of the ice queen on more than one occasion . jason : it was the gun . the gun set her off . i asked kate if she had been anywhere near the gun , and she started yelling at me that it was n't her gun . spinelli : did you imply that it was ? jason : no , i did n't . it 's like she made the whole thing up in her head . she tore into me . she said that she was always gon na be first in sonny 's life . this is like -- it 's like kate was threatened because i 'm trying to prove sonny was framed . connie : look , i realize jason is your best friend , but it does n't give him the right to come to my place of business and start cursing me . sonny : it -- just does n't sound like something jason would memycend to me . connie : he came here and asked me if the gun found was mine , which is ridiculous . he then he asked if you gave it to me . sonny : i already told him that you do n't have a gun . connie : well , he obviously did n't believe you if he was in my face and not johnny 's . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i -- i know he 's just protecting you , and so am i . sonny : i know that . connie : you know what ? sonny : what ? connie : when dante came here asking about the gun , i lied . i told him that i was with you the entire night , because i would say anything to keep you out of a cell , sonny . that 's how much i love you . apparently , it 's not good enough for jason . sonny : i want to talk to him . right now . connie : no , wait . sam : they got a file on franco in llanview , pennsylvania ? john : no , but i still have friends in the bureau , and they told me they had been tracking robert frank , or franco , and that he had become obsessed with your husband . sam : he had this twisted idea that he and jason were somehow alike , but he could n't have been further from the truth . john : well , he is a mob enforcer . sam : jason would never ... deliberately hurt someone . franco , he -- he gets off on it . he 's pure evil . and all he cared about was making jason suffer . john : so , he 's dead . he ca n't hurt jason anymore . sam : [ scoffs ] you 're wrong about that . he still has the power to destroy our lives . ewen : australia , maybe , is the smallest continent , but i have n't made the acquaintance of everyone who lives there . elizabeth : it 's just the way you said it . it sounded like you knew him . ewen : i know the name . : jasper jacks is a financier . he 's a corporate raider . he buys companies and then breaks them up . elizabeth : yeah , that 's right . ewen : he also had a brother -- jerry , was n't it ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . ewen : yeah . he held some people hostage in a hotel a few years back . elizabeth : yeah , it was this hotel , and i was here . ewen : you were one of the hostages ? elizabeth : yes . ewen : that -- that must have been terrifying . elizabeth : it was so scary . none of us knew if we were gon na make it out alive . robin got shot . she almost died . and then when we found out jerry was responsible , it broke jax 's heart and his mom 's . ewen : lady jane . elizabeth : you seem to know more about the jax family than you 're letting on . ewen : mm . only what i 've read . elizabeth : well , here we are , talking about everything but you . how did that happen ? ewen : maybe i 'm trying to avoid telling you my deep , dark secret . elizabeth : oh . do you have one ? ewen : does n't everyone ? sam : franco left us a dvd . i should never have played it . we should have just thrown it away . john : what was on it ? sam : a home movie of a baby boy ... wearing one of those hospital bracelets , and i tracked it back to ... new york city . john : that 's where you were going when i saw you at the airport . sam : yeah , i thought it was gon na be a dead end , and i should have stopped looking . i should -- i should never have kept looking . john : looking for what , sam ? sam : jason waited so long to be a father ... and to actually have a child , and now it 's all ruined . d john : let me tell you something -- if your husband is the man that you described , he 's gon na stand by you , and he 's gon na help you deal with whatever you found out . sam : yeah , but i do n't -- i do n't know what this is gon na do to jason . i mean , to us . john : you know , remember when you told me that you regretted not telling him sooner about his friend robin 's death ? sam : yeah , i was protecting him . john : like you 're doing now . sam : oh , no . you know , we thought that this was over , that franco was ... out of our lives . i just -- god , i do n't know how i 'm gon na tell him . john : look , he was able to handle the death of robin , d and ... he 's gon na be able to handle whatever this is . sam : how would you handle it if he found out a psycho like franco was your brother ? spinelli : is it possible you offended kate in some way ? jason : i mean , she seemed fine when i got there . then she was a little tense . she was trying a little hard . she got a little jumpy about some books she was reading she tried to hide under a bunch of files on her desk . spinelli : well , that was curious . jason : and then kate -- you know , she made it a point to ask me how i was and congratulate me about the baby , but as soon as i asked about the gun , she got defensive , and things only got worse from there . spinelli : you know , perhaps she 's overwhelmed by recent events and just took it out on the nearest available target , so it was just wrong place , wrong time . jason : but why did asking her about the gun set her off ? spinelli : do you think kate knows more than she 's saying ? connie : i do n't want to come in between you and jason . sonny : no , i 'm just gon na tell him to treat you with respect . connie : no , maybe his emotions were high and he did n't realize how forceful he was being ? sonny : forceful ? connie : he had problems with anger before the surgery , right ? maybe he has n't fully healed yet . sonny : well , he was fine last time i talked to him . he was better than he 's been in months . connie : well , he might be covering well , sonny . sonny : he does n't cover things . he does n't cover things . connie : maybe -- maybe els surgerchanged him for good . sonny : oh . connie : maybe he 's a different person . i mean , that happens , right ? i mean , that 's what it felt like . he came in here , and i was talking to someone that i did n't know . the old jason would never have treated me like that . sonny : i 'm just gon na make sure this does n't happen -- connie : sonny , please just let it go . please . it 's over . please . sonny : all right . connie : okay ? sonny : [ chuckles ] matt : i just wish that i could give maxie an alibi for the night that lisa died , but everybody knows i was with elizabeth ... till she got thrown overboard . and i got so hammered i did n't even know my name . patrick : it 's not gon na help maxie by coming up with a fake alibi . she just needs to admit that s did n't kill -- matt : do you know how difficult it is to just watch her throw her life away ? and this is like a life i thought maybe we were gon na have together . patrick : i thought you guys broke up . matt : we did . we did . i basically to her she was too selfish to be in a relationship . and then i gave her all these ultimatums and made her jump through all these hoops , like ... like , who the hell did i think i was ? you know ? like , what right do i have to judge ? but we were just -- we were fighting . you know , we were fighting . patrick : robin and i , we fought about stupid things . it 's kind of what people do ... even when you 're in love . matt : and i -- i -- i do love maxie . patrick : well ... matt : yeah . i still want her in my life . patrick : okay . well , you got to do everything you can to save her . 'cause you never know when you 're gon na lose someone for good . sam : please , you ca n't -- you ca n't tell anyone . if jason finds out that i told you first , i 'm not sure he would ever forgive me for that . john : relax . i 'm not telling you anything , all right ? you certain that franco is jason 's brother ? sam : twins . john : twins ? sam : twins . after the biological mother gave birth , she passed out , and ... she gave birth to another baby boy . john : and what -- somebody just took e child ? sam : no . i mean , susan moore did n't even know she had given birth to the second baby , but her cousin , heather , sold the second baby to the nurse who was assisting during birth . john : and you think that baby was franco ? sam : the nurse 's name was elizabeth frank . i mean , she went by betsy . john : so , betsy frank 's franco 's mother . `` elizabeth frank `` is ... it 's a fairly common name . sam : okay . um ... betsy is from woodstock , and a while back , jason had traced her down , and i went and paid her a visit , and i asked her , and she just -- she came out and told me the truth . she even gave me this ribbon . . here . john : so franco was obsessed with jason because they 're brothers . sam : yeah , betsy told m that when franco was a teenager , he found the me movie . and he saw that bracelet , and he badgered betsy until s finally admitted the truth . and i think -- i think this is why franco was originally looking for jason . i do n't think it had anything to do with revenge , but when he found jason , jason did n't want to have anything to do with him , so ... john : ca n't blame him . who the hell wants to pal around with a sociopath ? sam : you have no idea . elizabeth : you ca n't back out now . you promised to reveal your secret . ewen : did i prose ? elizabeth : strongly implied . oh , come on . you ca n't get me all curious and then not follow through . ewen : if you must know , i play the harp . elizabeth : the harp ? i as in , angels strumming on cloud kind of harp ? ewen : no , the blues -- the blues harp . elizabeth : oh ! ewen : see ? elizabeth : oh . well , you see , here in america , we call that the harmonica . ewen : oh , well , i know , thanks , but , uh ... harp just sounds cooler , though , especially when you are hite australian playing the s . elizabeth : ah . no , no , do n't put it away , please . i 've got to hear this . ewen : i sense you 're a bit skeptical . prepare to be dazzled . elizabeth : mm . [ harmonica plays ] lulu : hey , called the manager at vaughn 's . i told him i was a stripper looking for work and he said i could audition . dante : that 's great . you 're not going to work at vaughn 's . lulu : well , there 's openings . i mean , someone says dancers are quitting because they keep getting beat up , so ... dante : then i 'll , uh , get a female detective brought in from vice . lulu : yeah , but then delores is gon na know what 's going on . dante : well , then i 'll get mac to make a call to someone out of this jurisdiction . lulu : okay , fine . how long would that take ? dante : i do n't know . lulu : i 'm just saying , it would be a lot easier if you just let me do it 'cause it would be quicker . dante : what part of `` i will not let you do this `` do you not understand ? lulu : what part of `` you 're my husband , not my keeper `` do you not understand ? dante : okay , well , you ca n't paint me as some chauvinistic , overprotective husband when you are a strong , independent woman , and no one respects that more than i do . but if you insist on going to this stupid audition , will be there in the front row with my badge . elizabeth : i impressed . you really can play . ewen : thanks . uh , i love the blues . always have , you know ? elizabeth : so , you 're a shrink who paints and plays the harp and loves the blues . ewen : what can i say ? i 'm a man of many talents . elizabeth : are there any other hobbies i should know about ? ewen : i think there 's been enough information about me for one day . your turn . what do you want ? elizabeth : out of life ? ewen : off the menu or dessert . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] ewen : assuming you have n't had enough of me yet . sonny : okay , look -- i 'm just gon na ma sure that jason 's ay to go back to work . connie : all right , well leave me out of it , please , because the last thing i want is for jason to think i 'm ting to come in between you two . sonny : well , i 'm just gon na tell him that , you know , you 're the woman i love and he should have a little consideration . connie : will you keep it civil , please ? because , you know , he just got out of brain surgery . sonny : i promise you i 'll do that . all right ? connie : all right . sonny : all right ? what 's wrong ? what 's wrong ? connie : nothing . i just , uh ... i do n't want to get into it with you 'cause i have a lot of work too , and i wo n't be able to stop it , you know ? sonny : oh . all right . so i 'll come back later , and we 'll finish this , right ? connie : yeah . that 's great . sonny : i love you very much . connie : i love you very much . sonny : all right . connie : bye . [ breathes deeply ] that gets rid of jason . now i just got to get rid of sonny once and for all . gs johnny wo n't do it for me ... i 'll find someone who will . jason : you could be right . you know , maybe kate 's trying to hide something . she flipped out on purpose as a diversion . spinelli : yeah , but it seems unlikely that she would withhold information that could exonerate sonny . jason : unless she thinks she 's protecting him . spinelli : we do only i love you . sonny 's word that he did n't cause the accident . look , just given sonny 's ire for anthony zacchara and previous actions , i can understand that some would have cause for concern or doubt . jason : okay , but sonny did n't cause the accident , all right ? let 's get that straight . but if kate thinks he did , then she also thinks the gun belongs to him . spinelli : well , that would explain emotional turmoil . i mean , she would be conflicted -- loving sonny , fearing that he 's guilty . jason : she was n't acting afraid . it was more like she was defensive , like she was the guilty one , and the whole thing just does n't make any sense . spinelli : much like maximista 's confession . jason : hey , alexis is a good lawyer . she 's gon na find a way to get maxie 's confession thrown out . spinelli : it 's too late . she pled guilty . jason : is she going to prison ? spinelli : if i ca n't find the real killer of lisa niles before the sentencing . jason : well , how long do we have ? spinelli : they have n't set a date yet , and i assume the commissioner will stall as long as possible . jason : okay , then we have some time . let me look at the file . spinelli : no , look -- i 've already -- i 've ready -- i 've already declined your kind offer of assistance , okay ? jason : that 's before maxie pled guilty . spinelli : yeah , i know , and as much as i would love your help , you have to focus on exonerating sonny . jason : are you sure ? spinelli : in fact , i think i know just where i need to go to get the assistance i need . jason : [ sighs [ door closes ] john : sam , i 'm sure it 's gon na be difficult for your husband to accept that this guy -- this guy is his brother . franco 's dead , and whatever he did to jason ... it 's over . sam : no , it 's not . [ sighs ] john : why ? come on , sam . you 've come this far . sam : jason and i were in hawaii . and we were on our honeymoon . we were so happy -- i mean , happier than we have been , i think , ever . and then ... franco showed up . and he was spying on us . and he found a way to separate us , and he had ... locked jason in this room ... with a tv monitor so he could watch . john : watch what ? sam : franco drugged me . an i was -- i was in the shower , and ... i started to , like , pass out , and he was -- he was there toss catch me , and he brought me to the bed , and he laid me down . but i do n't actually remember ... any this , thank god . r but jason , um ... told me that he was watching from the monitor , and ... after franco laid me down on the bed , he took off his shirt and ... put it ... put it over the camera . and he , uh ... he ... john : he raped you . sam : ugh !

jason : ha - there you go . sam : thank you . [ sighs ] ugh ! okay . so , scam artist hayden barnes is really rachel berlin . and even though a lot of people think that rachel literally helped her father hide billions of dollars , giving them plenty of reasons to want her dead ... jason : you know what ? whoever shot hayden might not have been aware of her real identity . they might have wanted hayden dead for something hayden had done . [ scene_break ] hayden : [ sighs ] thanks for seeing me home . curtis : yeah , well , call me sentimental , but , uh , when a friend decides to move back in with a man who tried to kill her , the least i can do is try to provide a little security . hayden : well , if you 're looking for booby traps , you can stop . nikolas would never do anything to injure spencer or his staff . curtis : right . just you . see , i still think it 's a bad idea . no amount of money is worth living with your own personal executioner , unless you have a serious death wish . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas , talk to me . i get that hayden has you over a barrel , and it 's awful . she 's awful . but please tell me you 're not thinking about finishing what you 've started and having her killed . nikolas , look at me ! nikolas : [ clears throat ] elizabeth : this is not who you are . [ sighs ] the only reason hayden has you in this position is because you tried having her killed in the first place . if you try again , you could end up in prison , and where is that gon na leave spencer ? nikolas : you do n't have to worry about me or spencer . i 'm going home to hayden , and that 's all you need to know .

[ door closes ] ned : what the hell happened ? finn : she had another seizure . dillon : why ? i thought she was getting better . finn : it would appear we did n't catch the infestation in time . ned : in time for what ? is our mother dying ? [ scene_break ] anna : come on in , sonny . sonny : nice hat . griffin : [ chuckles ] thank you . i borrowed it from emma . emma : hi , mr. sonny . sonny : hi , little emma . anna : so , they 've been playing cowboys and , uh , neurosurgeons . sonny : yeah . emma : i have another cowboy hat if you want one . sonny : well , you know , i put a hat on , one my wife said that it did n't look good on me , like i do n't have the right face for it . emma : i disagree . i think you 're really handsome . sonny : yeah ? well , thank you . i appreciate that , emma . griffin : what about me ? emma : i think you 're handsome , too . griffin : [ laughs ] no , no , no , no . what i meant was , do i have a hat face ? anna : [ laughs ] emma : oh , definitely . but you might look even better in a tutu . griffin : wait , did you say -- did you say tutu ? anna : that 's okay . do n't be scared . griffin : [ laughing ] i 'm terrified ! anna : no , it 's fine . like , a few years ago , i came home to find that emma had given her best tutu to duke , and they were doing this whole recital thing . it was kind of amazing . [ chuckles ] griffin : that must have been something to see . anna : yeah . one of my favorite memories of duke . i mean , he had a lot of sides to him , right , you know ? he was stylish and dignified and ... but he was n't afraid to roll up his sleeves or wear a tutu ... and play . yeah . and here you 're doing the same thing . it 's ... you 're following in his footsteps . it 's kind of great . it 's ... duke would be really proud . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm sure you 're aware that carlos rivera 's alive . michael : uh , yeah , the -- the report surfaced on some news blog . dante : is that how you heard about it ? michael : yeah , i - i read the blog . dante : you know , you should have been a lawyer , michael . michael : you know , i 'm not really sure where you 're headed with all this . dante : okay , i think sonny knew that carlos was alive before the news blog . i think he told you . carlos is the father of sabrina 's baby . i think there 's a good chance that she left town with him . i think sonny believes you had a right to know that . i think sonny has plans to locate carlos . i 'd like to know what his steps are to find him , and when he does , what his plans are with him . now you know where i 'm headed ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i do n't have a death wish . i just want to get what 's mine . curtis : as opposed to what 's coming to you ? because in this situation , they 're two very different things . hayden : the way i see it , nikolas owes me a pretty nice life in exchange for the one he tried to take from me , and i just intend to collect . curtis : i 'd say you did collect . you 're still here . you 're living and you 're breathing . you got a second chance at life . hayden : [ chuckling ] yeah ? and what am i supposed to do with that ? get a job waitressing ? curtis : i see you more as a hostess . but what 's wrong with that ? why not ? hayden : because i grew up a certain way . i had things . curtis : poor , little rich girl . hayden : i had connections , but when i got into business school , i earned it , just like i earned my degrees and every penny i ever made . curtis : did you really ? hayden : yes . and all that 's been taken away from me . all i had was this marriage to a man who , despite everything , i genuinely love . curtis : [ sighs ] if you say so . hayden : unfortunately , nikolas told me if this marriage ends now , he will not honor the prenup , and he 'll leave me without a cent . curtis : so you 're willing to risk your life just to put a few bucks in your pocket ? hayden : is wanting financial security such a bad thing ? curtis : not necessarily . it 's when you put it before other things , you know ? it 's like ... it 's like an addiction . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , so raymond berlin goes to prison . rachel becomes hayden . and then what ? she either does n't know where her father hid the money or she does n't have access to it . jason : well , she ends up in beecher 's corners , where she 's [ scoffs ] not likely to be recognized . and then she meets up with ric , who pays her to pretend to be my [ chuckles ] wife . sam : ohh , yeah ! which puts her in contact with elizabeth , whose closest friend and ally is nikolas , who has the kind of money she 's looking for . speaking of nikolas , i have to -- i have to get in touch with him and update him on hayden 's involvement with tracy . i mean , who knows ? maybe he actually knows something and this will all make sense to him . jason : okay , let 's go . sam : yeah ? okay . jason : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i see that you 're going home to your wife . what i want to know is what you plan on doing once you get there . nikolas : no , no , you do n't , elizabeth . see , if i tell you that i 'm planning to do something to hayden , then that makes you my accomplice , and ... elizabeth : not if i stop you . nikolas : that 's a very noble thought . but there 's really nothing to stop . i 'm going home to hayden , and that 's all you need to know . [ cell phone chimes ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] i have to go . the hospital needs me . [ scene_break ] finn : tracy 's not responding to anti - convulsives as well as we would like . monica : dr. finn , i got your page . what -- finn : tracy just had a grand mal seizure . monica : oh , my god . finn : if i had to guess , it was caused by swelling in the brain . ned : and -- and what caused that ? finn : the cysts in her brain can cause a fluid build - up . dr. obrecht : then there 's only one solution . we need to operate . immediately . ned : does my mother need surgery ? finn : well , we need to see the results of the cat scan first , but if it shows what i think it 's gon na show , then yes , i believe surgery is recommended . look , this could be awhile . why do n't you grab a cup of coffee , and as soon as the results are back , we 'll let you know . could i speak to you ? monica : yeah . finn : i 'll make the call . monica : okay . oh , elizabeth . elizabeth : hi , monica . monica : i thought this was your day off . elizabeth : yeah , they called me back in . what 's going on ? monica : well , tracy 's had another seizure . elizabeth : oh , no . i 'm sorry . what can i do ? monica : uh , be prepared to scrub in . she may need surgery . [ elevator bell dings ] paul : hello , son . and your half - brother . ned : paul . paul : i notice there 's a lot of activity around tracy 's room . is she all right ? ned : my mother 's condition is none of your business . in fact , she would n't be in this mess if it was n't for you . paul : ned , i understand your concern for tracy . in fact , i share it . but ca n't we at least be civil ? ned : no . paul : that 's great . then let 's just not talk -- ned : and i 'm not alone in this . my mother does n't want to see you , either , paul . paul : well , that 's fine . i 'm here to see dillon , uh , not to see tracy . dillon : actually , mom could probably use all of the support she can get , so i do n't think it would hurt if paul stuck around . ned : and i think if she heard his voice , she might have another seizure . paul : i was n't aware that you 've become a doctor . ned : and i was n't aware you actually cared about my mother . dillon : ned , i ca n't disagree with anything you 're saying , but still , i would like him to stay . ned : just keep him away from me . monica : ned , dillon . not you , paul . elizabeth : we have the results of tracy 's cat scan . dillon : what is it ? finn : the larval cysts in tracy 's brain are what caused the seizure . at this point , the best option is surgery . monica : fine . dillon : but dr. mayes told our mother that she had cancer , so if he operates , he 's gon na be trying to remove a disease that is n't even there . we need to get dr. munro . finn : well , here 's a noble idea . it 's her brain . why do n't we ask tracy ? [ scene_break ] sam : hi . nikolas : hi , sam . this is a surprise . sam : can i come in ? nikolas : sure . yeah . and you 're with your husband . jason : well , we 're divorced . sam : jason 's helping me with the investigation . nikolas : i never agreed to that . sam : you wanted me to uncover everything i could about your wife , and you wanted it fast . jason was able to get information i otherwise could n't , so do you want to complain about it or do you want to hear what i found out about hayden ? nikolas : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] michael : you know , you need to have this conversation with dad . dante : no , hold on , hold on . i want to stop sonny from taking action that will harm him or the family . michael : do n't -- do n't put me in this position . dante : michael , if -- if carlos is found dead , sonny 's the prime suspect . if he goes to trial for murder , he loses avery . if he 's convicted , he goes to pentonville . and there is no `` get out of jail free `` pass this time . i need to stop all this stuff before it starts . i need to know what he 's planning for carlos . michael : like i said , you have to have this conversation with dad .

[ cell phone beeps ] griffin : sorry . uh , it 's the hospital . i - i - i have to go . anna : yeah . griffin : please , um , tell emma i 'll play with the telescope next time . anna : sure , yeah . i 'll see you out . might suit you . sonny : hey . yeah . you know , i - i like that guy . you know , he 's duke 's son , but , um , he -- he 's a little judgmental with the kumbaya . anna : i think he 'll feel differently when carlos is in custody , i hope . what have you got ? it 's definitely carlos , is n't it ? i mean , paul even calls him by his name . and carlos says that he 's upset the truth came out about him in the press . now he 's talking about transference of funds . that means he 's on the move again . if we 're going to go after him , we need to go soon . sonny : now that we know that paul 's talking to carlos , we got to take the device from his phone and figure out where the calls originated . anna : mm - hmm . can your guy do that ? sonny : we 'll be waiting , but if you see paul first , you know ... anna : yeah , all right . fine . so , what you said to griffin -- did you mean that ? about -- about bringing carlos to justice . sonny : it 's what duke deserves . keep me posted . anna : yeah , same here . sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sam : after you told me that hayden 's real name was rachel berlin , i happened to overhear tracy talking , and she said that rachel was her secret weapon . nikolas : what ? you 're -- you 're telling me that -- sam : tracy knew who hayden was the whole time . and it looks like the two of them were working together to take elq back from you . nikolas : [ laughs ] so once hayden got her hands on elq , she was planning on turning everything over to tracy . is that -- sam : maybe . or maybe she was planning on keeping it for herself . nikolas : either way , does n't matter . she 's been playing me all along . you got anything to add over there ? jason : no , this is sam 's investigation . i 'm just along for the ride . sam : i 'm sorry . nikolas : are you ? sam : yes , i am . i know you wanted a different outcome for spencer 's sake . it looks like you 're -- you 're packed up . ready to leave ? does that mean hayden 's gone , too ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm not addicted to the money . curtis : you sure about that ? hayden : [ chuckles ] i 've known a few money junkies in my day . they can never make enough and they spend it like water . that 's not me . curtis : well , then why risk another bullet in the brain or falling down some stairs or getting trapped in a maze of catacombs ? hayden : you know about those ? curtis : they 're famous . hayden : [ scoffs ] curtis : why risk all that if not for the money ? hayden : oh , it 's for the money . well , i mean ... not completely . i mean , the money 's a huge part of it , but , see , the thing is , money 's not for me . curtis : oh , shoot . this i got to hear . hayden : [ sighs ] part of the reason that i married nikolas is so that i could raise enough money to pay back my father 's investors , give them back some of the money that he stole . curtis : let me ask you something . you rehearsing this little speech for when your husband comes home ? hayden : okay , i get it . you 've got me all figured out . all i want is the money . curtis : now , see , that makes sense . like you said , you 're used to having things . hayden : what about you ? curtis : what about me ? hayden : well , you insisted on coming back here to keep me safe , so tell me . what 's in it for you ? [ scene_break ] ned : my mother just had a seizure . is she really in a position to make a complex medical decision ? dillon : yeah , i may not agree with ned about dr. mayes , but the last thing i want to do is cause mom any undue stress . finn : we 've adjusted tracy 's medication to control the seizures . she 's weak , but she 's conscious and she 's lucid . and she 's the patient , and i really think she 's the one to make this decision . excuse me . monica : okay , guys , listen , uh , i know you are both worried about your mother . i am , too . but before we go in there , you 've got to wipe that fear off your face .

[ scene_break ] ethan : you mean kristina 's back at the e.r . ? is she okay ? what happened ? maya : i just told you . she 'd been beaten . ethan : oh , my god , not again . that poor girl . maya : god , you are so convincing , with that stunned , wide - eyed expression , like you 're actually surprised . ethan : what ? hey , this is n't an act , okay ? i did n't beat kristina , not tonight or any other night .

[ crying ] dante : let 's just start from the beginning , okay ? was , uh , the night of march the 12th the first time kiefer hit you ? kristina : no . he hit me a few times before . i guess i should have told someone then . dante : no , it 's okay . you were doing -- you were doing what you thought you had to do . how did it happen ? kristina : kiefer would get mad sometimes about something i said or did . it would always happen so fast . one minute we 'd be talking and the next he 'd suddenly be angry and slap me or hit me . kiefer would always say he was sorry . i tried to break up with him twice . but he said he loved me , that he 'd never do it again . he was really upset , and he said he needed me to believe in him . dante : yeah , it must have been tough for you to say no . kristina : i felt like i was walking on eggshells , never knowing ... when he 'd lose it . but then he 'd be so sweet and i 'd feel guilty for telling him to stay away from me . it sounds stupid . dante : no . no , not at all . kristina : i guess i still wanted kiefer to like me . he 's captain of the basketball team , going to harvard in the fall . he could have dated any girl he wanted , and he chose me . dante : he wanted you to go with him to that party on the 12th ? kristina : i said i 'd go . he even bought me a dress , but i lied , and i went to see ethan instead . that 's why he was so mad . it is really my fault . dante : no , no , this is not your fault . okay ? this was all on him . but it 's never gon na happen again . sonny : hey , sweetheart . kristina : dad , where 's jason ? did you send him after kiefer ? sonny : you do n't have to worry about that now . kristina : dad , please do n't let jason hurt him . alexis : shh , shh , shh ... steve : we need to run another blood panel . i want to get her settled into the room . would you all please wait outside ? [ scene_break ] maya : i was in the e.r . with edward when kristina had been brought in by a woman i assume was her mother . she had been beaten and barely conscious . ethan , if you had anything to -- ethan : okay , did alexis or kristina actually accuse me again ? maya : dr. webber , the chief of staff , said it was the second time kristina had been beaten and for the police to pick you up for questioning . ethan : right . so once again i 'm guilty until proven innocent ? maya : you were obviously the suspect the first time . ethan : yes , i was . kristina lied when she said i attacked her , and ... [ sighs ] well , she was the victim , you know ? everyone rallied around her . maya : can you blame them ? ethan : no . not at all . i would do the same thing . unfortunately , i was the target . so , you know , she did n't have to raise a finger . they were out for blood . maya : so you honestly did n't do it ? ethan : honestly , i did not do this . i swear to you . look , whatever you may think of me , i 'm not an animal , all right ? but i just -- i 'm not gon na wait around for someone to believe me , you know ? i got ta get out of town . tonight . skye : that would be a huge mistake .

[ scene_break ] lucky : why did n't you mention kiefer as a suspect before ? jason : because i had no proof . all i knew was carly did n't like the guy . i ca n't go off of that . i figured if kiefer was the one who attacked kristina , you would get there . lucky : well , i did . but there 's still no hard evidence . jason : what do you have ? lucky : all right , the night of the first attack kristina was supposed to go to a party thrown by one of kiefer 's friends . that friend told me that kiefer was over - the - top angry waiting around for her . he finally took off somewhere between 8 : 30 and 9 : 00 . at 9 : 30 , alexis ' neighbor saw a light - color suv , just like the one kiefer drives , leave the davises ' . jason : the timing fits . lucky : yeah . jason : it was after sam dropped kristina off and before ethan got there . lucky : exactly . now , dante and i talked to kiefer tonight . he was nervous and defensive . and now , i 'm afraid he -- [ cell phone rings ] just a second . [ ring ] it 's dante . what 's going on ? dante : kristina just identified kiefer bauer as her attacker , both times . we 've got to find the son of a bitch . [ jason sighs ] [ scene_break ] sam : are you sure that was kiefer 's suv ? molly : positive . he 's picked up kristina in it about a million times before . and that was his basketball jersey in the backseat . sam : well , he took a pretty nasty slide off the side of the road . i wonder what happened . his tires were n't even damaged . molly : how about we put on our detective hats and figure it out ? sam : okay , i like the sound of that . you first . what 's your theory ? molly : well , kiefer was being followed . so he slid off the road and ran away to escape . sam : really ? and locked the doors first so the bad guys could n't get in and steal his basketball jersey ? molly : okay , your turn . what 's your theory ? sam : okay , well , i think that maybe he was driving , like we are right now , and then a deer or a dog ran out in the middle of the road , and he swerved off and ... i do n't know , had to walk somewhere , like the gas station , because his reception was bad . what is that in the ditch ? molly : it looks like a person . [ scene_break ] kristina : you must be so mad at me for lying about kiefer . alexis : honey , i 'm not mad at you . i will never be mad at you . you did n't do anything wrong . this is n't your fault . kristina : but i caused so much trouble . alexis : no , you did n't . no , you did n't . you 're an incredible , beautiful , beautiful girl , and you did n't do anything wrong . you 've got to believe me . kristina : did you ask dad where jason is ? did he send him after kiefer ? alexis : honey , i do n't know where he went . i know that he 's concerned -- kristina : i 'll press charges against kiefer if you want , but do n't let dad hurt him . alexis : okay . okay . i promise , all right ? i promise you . just concentrate on getting better , okay , baby ? everything 's going to be okay , i promise . [ scene_break ] sam : yeah , hi , can you hear me ? yeah , i know , my reception 's going in and out . i am , uh , i 'm here with the victim . we 're on the side of cherry lane about 2 miles north of vista way . yeah . yes , of course , we 'll wait for an ambulance to get here . we 'll wait with him , yeah . okay , thank you . kiefer . hey , we 're gon na wait -- we 're gon na wait with you , okay ? molly : who would do this , sam ? who would run someone down , then just keep driving ? how could they not even care ? sam : molly , you know what ? it 's really dark out and it could be a really big truck , and if they would have hit him , they probably had no idea . kiefer : molly ? molly : kiefer , do n't move . do n't move . paramedics will be here really soon . sam : hey , do you know what happened ? kiefer : a -- a car . sam : a car . did you see who it was ? kiefer : yeah ...

[ scene_break ] sonny : hey . jason : lucky got to me before i found ethan . sonny : thank god . luke swore to me that ethan did n't do it . can you imagine if i had killed his son ? jason : how 's she doing ? sonny : the doctor says she 's going to heal , but that 's on the outside . jason : okay , you were there when she id 'd kiefer ? sonny : you even say that name , i get ... i was listening to her , right ? i did n't want her to see me , and i hear she 's crying , my little girl in so much pain . then she tells dante that kiefer had been hitting her for months , slapping her around whenever she would make him mad . then she starts to cry , and she says it was her fault . at that moment , i wanted to grab kiefer and just kind of squeeze his neck -- jason : kiefer is gon na pay . sonny : yes . yeah , yeah . jason : but with everything going on , we got ta be smart with this . sonny : uh - huh , uh - huh . kristina lied , said it was ethan to cover for kiefer . she did more than my mother ever did to protect deke , and i got ta ask myself why . i sold my soul for the power to punish my enemies . why , why would anyone want to protect the person who hurt them ?

[ scene_break ] michael : look , after i saw what brandon did to you , i wanted to kill him . i wanted to make that bastard pay for putting his hands on you again . then i found brandon in the alley where he almost raped you and ... just being there reminded me of how scared you were and how you were screaming . and it just made me want to kill him even more . and i had the gun pointed right at his face . but i did n't kill him . abby : what stopped you ? michael : you probably want me to say it was a crisis of conscience , but the truth is i would n't have thought twice about killing brandon . he was being so full of himself , saying how you liked getting hit . it made me sick and i was gon na kill him . the gun pointed right at him , i had my finger on the trigger . then jason showed up . he let him go . he said he did n't want me wasting my life on revenge . abby : neither do i . if you would have killed brandon , you 'd be back in pentonville . michael : assuming i got caught . abby : even if the cops never found out , you would have to live with that secret . michael : it would be worth it knowing you were safe . abby : not to me . i never want to hurt you , michael . michael : do not blame yourself for this . look , brandon was a sick bastard and he deserved to die . but , abby , i promise you , it was n't me . abby : if it had been , i want you to know i would have never said a word .

[ scene_break ] suzanne : i 'll answer any of your questions about africa . sonny : okay . can you just start at the beginning ? 'cause we already know that you helped because of your charity . that was your excuse to get close to brenda . suzanne : no . my commitment to asec is real . but i deliberately reached out to brenda because it had been months since anyone had heard from aleksander . and theo was desperate to find out his whereabouts . sonny : you were n't ? suzanne : i was hoping my son had started a new life as far away from his father as possible . sonny : then why help theo find him ? suzanne : self - preservation . it was easier to go along with theo than to go against him . but once i found out you were pregnant , i could n't stand back any longer . i knew if theo found out brenda was carrying aleksander 's child , he 'd stop at nothing to get his hands on the baby . i could n't let that happen . aleksander was a sweet , sweet boy , and he would have grown up to be a good man , but theo corrupted him . i could n't let him do that to another child . sonny : what happened to the baby ? suzanne : you never had a fever . brenda : oh , my god . suzanne : i gave you drugs and i found a doctor to induce labor . there was no miscarriage . brenda : oh , my god . suzanne : you delivered a healthy baby boy . brenda : you are a heartless bitch ! you are a heartless bitch . how in the world did you ever let me believe that my baby was dead ? suzanne : i 'm sorry . i know what you were going through . brenda : you do n't know anything . you do n't know that i carried that child in my stomach for 7 months and i loved him . and then he was gone because you took him from me . suzanne : it was the only way i had to save my grandson . brenda : no ! [ sobbing ] babe . sonny : hey . hey , hey , hey . [ scene_break ] michael : i know . for a long time , you were the only person i could be honest with . everyone else i had to downplay my emotions so they would n't worry . you taught me that it was okay to be myself . abby : you did that for me , too . i was always afraid with brandon that i would do or say something to set him off . that 's why i ended things , you know . i was tired of living in fear . it 's not like that with you . you do n't have to carry a gun to make me feel safe . you just do . because i know that you would never hurt me . michael : and now brandon ca n't hurt you anymore either . abby : brandon . oh , man , that was the biggest mistake of my life . i 'm not sad that he 's dead . my only regret would be that if somebody that i care about were to be blamed for his death . michael : you do n't have to worry . the cops will not be able to prove who killed brandon . abby : how can you be so sure ? michael : jason 's too smart to get caught . he took care of brandon for me so i would n't have to . [ scene_break ] dante : i know you think killing brandon was justified 'cause you stopped michael from going back to pentonville , but all you really did was reinforce the message that violence solves all your problems . sam : hey , come on , that 's not fair . dante : hey , come on . carter hurt michael , jason killed him . brandon hurts abby , same thing . but michael 's not gon na see it that way . he 's gon na see it as a show of power . and that 's all he 's after right now . how long do you think before michael 's gon na use his newfound skill to work for the family full time ? jason : i do n't want that to happen . dante : but you 're not doing anything to discourage it . sam : what do you mean ? all jason has been doing is pushing michael to have a better life and to stay out of the business . dante : right . well , do as i say , not as i do is n't gon na fly with him anymore . he sees how effective jason 's methods are . the only thing i can say is if you 're gon na teach him to be a killer , you might as well teach him to be as good as you are , otherwise he 'll spend the rest of his life in prison . sam : well , you sure have been throwing around a lot of accusations . but what i have n't heard is any sort of proof that jason is the one who actually killed brandon . you said it yourself , this guy is a creep . he could have a ton of people out there who want him dead . dante : yeah . you know what , he had a rap sheet a mile long . and sure , a lot of people are gon na be happy they do n't have to deal with him anymore , but jason is the only person that i know that would actually pull the trigger . especially if you thought michael was gon na do it himself . like i said , jason , you have more motive than anyone else . and i intend to prove it .

[ scene_break ] sonny : okay , listen to me . suzanne 's story is very compelling . okay . no question about that . it does n't make it true . so before you get too attached to this little boy , we need to check some facts . suzanne : by all means . here is lucian 's birth certificate and his adoption papers . sonny : just wait . suzanne : that 's a good place to start . i brought lucian here to make amends for the pain i 've caused , but the truth is i would like nothing more than the chance to get to know him . sonny : i do n't want you to skip town . okay ? until we figure out if this little boy really is brenda 's son . suzanne : i 'll be staying at the metro court . you 're welcome to come visit as often or as little as you 'd like . i realize this has all come as a huge shock and you may not be ready for the responsibility of taking care of a little boy . but if you 're not , i will make sure that lucian has a good life . i 'll take care of him . brenda : i want you to get out . and you wo n't be seeing my son or taking him anywhere . because i missed 3 years of his life and i wo n't be missing one more second . get out . right now . get out .

[ scene_break ] abby : thank you for coming to meet me . i know how much you care about michael . dante : before you say anything else , i just want to get a few things straight here . i do n't want to look at my brother and think for a second he has it in him to look somebody in the eye and put 2 bullets in their head . having said that , i know how he was brought up and what he 's been through . and i know that it 's a possibility . i have to walk a pretty fine line between being a good brother and a cop . and it 's a big help if i do n't have knowledge of a crime , especially one as serious as this one is . abby : he did n't do it . michael did n't kill brandon . he would n't lie to me . dante : he 's got a bright future ahead of him . i do n't want to see him throw that away by doing something stupid . abby : he has n't . dante : then that leaves jason at the top of the suspect list . abby : why do you think jason did this ? brandon has many more enemies than he ever did friends . maybe somebody he owed money to got tired of all the excuses . or maybe he got in a fight with the wrong person and just lost . dante : look , a bar fight is a broken nose and a black eye . this guy was shot execution style by a professional . abby : at least question the people at vaughn 's . johnny said that they would cooperate . dante : johnny ? when did you talk to johnny ?

spinelli : my words were intended for no one else . s matt : are you serious ? you do realize that we fight all the time ? we agree on nothing . spinelli : except for the most important thing . maxie did not kill lisa niles , ? and we have to find out who did . ni maxie : ew . you 're my visitor ? alexis : do n't look too excited to see me . maxie : why ? it 's over . i pled guilty . alexis : a plea i just spent a half - hour trying to get thrown out . maxie : why ? you ca n't just do that . alexis : just relax . i lost . maxie : good . alexis : good ? why are you so desperate to land yourself in prison ? connie : what 's your grin about , doc ? ewen : connie ? connie : in the flesh . ewen : how long have you been in control ? connie : hey , relax , doc . today 's your lucky day , 'cause i 'm gon na give you something to really smile about . jason : yeah , i went to see kate this morning . sonny : yeah , yeah , she told me . jason : yeah , i was just , you know , gon na ask her about the day the gun was recovered from her office . sonny : questioning her is one thing , but accusing her -- that 's another thing . ewen : now i understand why kate missed her appointment . connie : that 's right . i 'm back . ewen : who are you texting connie : and ruin the fun ? i 'm not gon na tell you . do n't worry . i got this . ewen : and what exactly is `` this `` ? connie : i 'll give you a hint . make it two . it involves you , and you 're gon na have a kick - ass time doing it . sonny : i mean , i - i know that you had your problems in the past , but , you know , i thought that was behind you , right ?

maximista 's guilty plea has tied their hands , but we -- we can operate outside the system and vindicate her . matt : i understand that you 're worried about her , as am i , but we really just need to let alexis do her job . spinelli : there 's nothing left to do . the judge has accepted maximista 's guilty plea . all that 's left is her sentencing . matt : i understand how it works , thank you very much . spinelli : well , then , why are you not more upset ? i mean , alexis can argue for lenience , but then what ? shave a few years off a life sentence ? matt : i get it . i get it . it -- it -- it sucks . it sucks . spinelli : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . your -- your tone is conveying acceptance , even resignation . do i have to remind you that maxie is innocent ? matt : i would like to believe that , but what if she 's not ? maxie : i do n't want to go to prison , but that 's what happens to people who kill other people . alexis : you mean like lisa niles ? maxie : yes . alexis : and first mate briggs ? maxie : are we making a list ? alexis : how 'd you do it ? maxie : what ? alexis : how 'd you kill him ? maxie : why does that even matter ? alexis : oh , well , it may -- it may affect your sentencing . there could be mitigating circumstances . maxie : there were n't . alexis : just try me , maxie . maxie : alexis , is n't there something better that you could be doing ? alexis : actually , maxie , there is . my daughter sam , visibly upset , came to my house , and i left her to come over here and be with you . maxie : okay , so go . she obviously needs you . alexis : so do you -- more than you know . maxie : [ scoffs ] alexis : clearly , you think you 're focused right now . you are n't . you 're in the throes of post - traumatic stress . your actions are n't rational , but they will have consequences . maxie : please , alexis , can you just leave me alone ? alexis : i ca n't . maxie : why not ? alexis : because i 'm the mother of three girls , and when one of them says , `` leave me alone , `` it always means they need me more . john : your husband , this guy franco -- they 're fraternal twins , not identical . sam : right . john : it means their dna 's not identical , either . sam : no , you do n't understand . we did n't test the baby against both , only jason . i mean , why would we ? we had no idea that franco and jason were gon na be brothers -- and let alone twins . i ca n't believe this is happening . john : listen . it 's gon na be okay . sam : no , it is not gon na be okay . do n't you understand ? we finally thought this nightmare was over . john : there 's only one way to know for sure -- run another test against franco 's dna . e sam : no , see -- that 's -- that 's the thing . we ca n't . jason : the strongest piece of evidence they have against you is this gun . sonny : we 're not talking about the gun . jason : i know . no , no . but the gun was found in kate 's office . sonny : i know that , but you 're not listening to me right now . jason : sonny , i 'm just trying to explain . if the gun was planted -- sonny : what do you mean , `` if `` ? hold -- `` if `` ? jason : no , i 'm -- i 'm just trying to get a time line , okay ? i need to know when kate got to the office . was the gun planted before she got in , after she got in ? did she leave the office at some point during the day ? sonny : but you did n't ask about the time line . you asked if the gun was hers . jason : no . sonny : and you were pushing her or whatever you were doing . jason : no . that 's not true . sonny : i - i do n't want to fight about this with you , jason . jason : [ sighs ] sonny : you had blackouts before the procedure . maybe they 're coming back . maybe you should , you know -- you should just go see a doctor again . ewen : i want to help you . connie : yeah . you want to help kate . ewen : ideally , i 'd like to help both of you . connie : oh , really ? well , that 's the spirit , doc . deep down , i knew you 'd come through . ewen : i think we should get started right away . connie : [ chuckling ] oh ! yeah . i mean , who needs johnny and steve when i got you , right ? ewen : we should take this back to my office , then . connie : you mean schedule a couch session for sonny to walk in on ? i like that . ewen : you want sonny to walk in on a session again ? connie : duh . and , you know , uh , we really do n't have to keep calling it a session , doctor . ewen : all right . what should we call it , then ? connie : sex ! footsteps approach ] alexis : do you want me to get you a -- a smaller size in that shirt ? are you comfortable ? maxie : oh , no . the color -- that 's the real problem . talk about washing me out . alexis : well , i wo n't even get you started then on the material . maxie : yeah , not enough hours in the day . alexis : i hope you know what you 're signing yourself up for here -- a lifetime of no feddy , no cartullo , or any of the designers ... re maxie : are you making fun of me ? alexis : no . maxie : you know , not that i would be surprised . i mean , you did n't want kristina to have anything to do with fashion . you would n't even let her take that internship . alexis : it 's a lot more complicated than that . maxie : oh , really ? you thought it was beneath her , right ? alexis : no . i think she was attracted to the glamour of it , but she did n't have a passion for it . you , on the other hand ... maxie : what ? alexis : i was just thinking about your uncle -- when he talks about what you do or what he thinks that you do , and he butchers all the names of the european designers . funny . he 's really proud of you . i mean , he will tell anyone who listens how talented y are . maxie : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? he has to say that because he loves me . alexis : he does . a lot of people do , not the least of whom are spinelli and matt . spinelli : you believe maxie capable of murder ? matt : do you think that this is easy for me ? you think i 'm enjoying this ? spinelli : that 's not an answer . matt : look , she confessed to not one , but two murders . spinelli : in the throes of grief and emotional turmoil . matt : she had ample time to come forward and say that that was n't true , even when patrick went to go talk to her and says , `` i do n't blame you for robin 's death . `` you would think at that time she would come forward . but maybe the truth is that that she did kill lisa and it happened when she was panicking and -- spinelli : look , you ca n't complete a thought , because it is impossible . spinelli : even -- even if -- if -- maxie killed the heinous dr. niles , there is no way that she plotted the murder of a completely innocent first mate briggs . matt : she confessed . spinelli : she also confessed to killing robin . matt : that -- that is completely different , okay ? we know the bag got caught on the valve and that 's what caused the explosion . it was an accident . spinelli : yeah , but maxie can not accept that . matt : okay , well , maybe there is more to the entire alibi than we really know , okay ? maybe that 's w she does n't have an alibi for what happened that night . why does she know so much about first mate briggs ' fake suicide note ? spinelli : okay , maxie -- maxie is -- is very skilled at manipulating the truth for her purposes . and , yes , she has some association with the elder zacchara , and she may have knowledge of the demise of first mate briggs , but that does t not make her a killer . matt : unfortunately , she managed to convince the judge otherwise . spinelli : that was her goal all along . do n't you see ? if -- if maxie ca n't be punished for the crime that she thinks she committed ... matt : she wants to get punished for a crime that she did n't commit . john : franco spent two extended periods of time in port charles , right ? sam : yeah . john : the first time he was here , his studio was destroyed . but you might be able to retrace his steps from the second time he came , see if maybe he left something behind . sam : no , franco never left anything behind he did n't mean to . wait . except ... john : what ? sam : well , the i.d . bracelet that i got from his mother . john : from when he was born ? you can knock yourself out , but i doubt it 's retaining any dna after so many years . sam : okay . well , then , we 'll never know . john : not necessarily . i think i might be able to help . jason : i do n't need to go back to the doctor . my -- my tests came back clean . i 'm -- i 'm fully recovered . sonny : that 's what we said last summer , and we were wrong . jason : yeah , i know , but i 'm fine . sonny : but not according to kate . wait . i 'm just trying to figure this out . if you 're not getting sick again , why did you disrespect her ? jason : i never disrespected kate . sonny : you do n't like her again ? jason : no , i 'm just trying to figure out how he gun got into the office . sonny : no , this goes back to when michael got shot . kate was with me at the warehouse . you blamed her for everything . jason : no , i did n't . sonny : and then , remember , we were waiting for michael to come out of the surgery , and you looked at her like she had no right to be standing next to me , and you completely blamed her for everything , and that 's kind of the feeling i 'm getting right now . if the gun was planted , how can it be kate 's fault ? jason : i never said it was kate 's fault . sonny : but that 's what she said . why would she lie ? jason : i have no idea . i 'm telling you right now , that 's not what happened . sonny : hold on . hold on . you know what she said ? that you lost it . jason : me ? that i lost it ? sonny : yeah . that you came at her , calling her names . you were like a different p -- what are you doing ? why are you doing that ? jason : if anyone was n't acting like themself , it was kate . elizabeth : hi , kate . connie : hey , how you doing ? am i missing something ? ewen : you 're sitting in elizabeth 's seat . connie : oh . oh ! you two are on a date . ewen : we are . connie : that explains your cold feet . elizabeth : cold feet ? ewen : why do n't we pick this up another time , kate ? connie : doctor , you always say time is of the essence . elizabeth : if you guys have business to discuss , um , i will take a rain check on that dessert . ewen : no , that wo n't be necessary . connie : no , no . i would n't dream of it . pull up a chair . maxie : you 're lying . alexis : no , i swear . they almost came to blows over who was more important to you . maxie : matt and spinelli ? wow . actually , i 'm not that surprised about spinelli . i mean , he 's always trying to act like a tough guy , which is absurd , 'cause that 's not really who he is . i mean , he 's incredibly brave . you know , he totally saved my life last summer . but that does n't mean that he should go around carrying a gun or punching people . i mean , spinelli is a genius , and i just do n't mean that he 's intelligent , you know ? he 's really intuitive , too , and i he 's just so good at understanding people . i just wish that he could trust that about himself . alexis : maybe you could tell him that . maxie : matt -- he 's in good shape , but he 's also a brilliant surgeon , a , you know , he should n't go around risking his hands , especially not fighting spinelli , especially not over me . alexis : why not over you ? maxie : 'cause we broke up . i mean -- i do n't know . to be honest , i do n't think matt and i probably should have ever been in a relationship in the first place . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i like him . sometimes i like him a lot . but , i do n't know , other times -- i think that he gets on my last nerve , and i think i probably do the same thing for him , but ... i do n't know . matt and i -- we just -- we do n't really communicate well , not like me and spinelli . you know , with spinelli , it 's like sometimes i have no idea what he 's saying , but i know exactly what he means . but matt and spinelli should n't be fighting over me at all or for me , and -- you know what ? -- neither should you . matt : i got to go talk some sense into her . i got to go . spinelli : what ? matt : she ca n't punish herself like this . it 's wrong . spinelli : exactly the sentiment that i share when i 'll see her . matt : we 're not doing this again . matt : we will if we have to . matt : look , i am her boyfriend . spinelli : it was my distinct impression that you were taking a break . matt : well , we should n't be . spinelli : would maxie agree ? matt : i do n't know . i will ask her when i see her . spinelli : no , no , no . i 'm not gon na let you trade on a brief and trivial relationship that caused maxie more heartache than joy just to pull rank . matt : like what you were doing left and right ? i am her boyfriend . spinelli : i am her best friend . matt : i love her . spinelli : so do i . matt : so -- so , w - what are we doing ? spinelli : what we always do . our default setting . matt : these spitting matches are not helping anyone . they 're definitely not helping maxie . spinelli : we both have tried to appeal to her in our own ways , and she wo n't listen to either of us . matt : you were right . spinelli : i was ? matt : we do have to work together on this . and we have to step it up . alexis : well , with all due respect , you did n't hire me . your uncle did . mac is probably the most decent man i know . he 's a good friend . he 's very supportive and actually very gracious during the excruciating holiday matchming . maxie : look , i know this is hard on him . alexis : hard ? maxie , no . it 's devastating . as painful as it 's been for him to lose georgie and now robin , it 's even more painful for him to watch you willingly throw your life away . maxie : georgie and robin were the good ones , okay ? i 'm not , so mac just needs to accept that and -- and let it go . alexis : well , he wo n't . for his sake , neither will i , so here 's what i 'm gon na suggest -- that you stop pushing me away and you start talking to me before you do something that can not be undone . john : obviously the fbi -- they had a file on franco , and they interviewed him several times about various murders over the years . nothing ever stuck . sam : i do n't see how any of that can help me . john : franco 's dead . the cases he was a suspect in -- they 're still open . sam : okay , wait . so -- so what you 're telling me is there could still be dna on franco on file somewhere ? john : that 's what i 'm telling you . and i still have a few friends over at the fbi . i mean , maybe they could arrange for another sample . sam : really ? john : yeah . then you and jason could do another dna test . sam : okay . um , wait a minute . jason ca n't know about any of this . jason : i know that kate 's worried about you , and i know she got pretty wound up after you got shot . sonny : so she 's imagining things ? jason : well , she 's not used to guns . she 's not used to murder investigations . maybe when i was asking her questions , she thought i was accusing her , but i was n't . sonny : she says you were hostile , that you were threatening . jason : sonny , that is not what happened . she 's the one who went off on me . sonny : man , i 'm not buying all this . jason : she started calling me names . she called me your lapdog . sonny : that does n't sound like her , though . jason : i understand that . that 's exactly why -- sonny : that 's exactly why what ? connie : you mind ? elizabeth : no , please . help yourself . connie : oh ! mmm ! mmm ! oh ! wow . that is sinful . [ inhales deeply ] ooh !

[ scene_break ] michael : i do n't want to intrude on nikolas when he 's focused on spencer 's recovery , but i think he 's the best chance i have of tracking helena down . uh , maybe -- maybe sam and alexis could pass on a message . zach : mr. quartermaine ? michael : yes ? zach : zach nichols , `` access port charles . `` i just have a couple of questions for you . michael : well , uh , mr. nichols , as you can see , i 'm having lunch with my little sister and her nanny , so if you want to set up an appointment , you can call my office and talk to my assistant about setting one up . zach : well , in that case , i have no choice but to run my story -- `` ceo loses third of elq . `` michael : who the hell told you that ?

[ scene_break ] emma : what is that ? spencer : it 's a ring . i had a much better one with a flawless diamond , but father took it away from me , so i had no other choice but to take this one from his safe . emma : you broke into your dad 's safe ? ! spencer : he owed me . emma : are you giving me one of your father 's rings ? spencer : no , it 's some man named alan quartermaine . i do n't know who alan is , but the quartermaines are almost as rich as the cassadines , so i can assure you it 's real gold . emma : spencer , are you making this up ? spencer : no , i 'm not . and i 'll prove it . see ? there 's his name . emma : my mommy told me about alan quartermaine . he was their friend jason 's dad . but he died . spencer : oh . emma : so , what 's your dad doing with alan quartermaine 's ring ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 've never even met jake . why are you so bothered by the return of his wife ? nikolas : obviously , you care about him , and i do n't like seeing you hurt . elizabeth : well , thank you . but i 'm -- i 'll be fine . nikolas : [ clears throat ] i also paid for all of jake 's medical bills , which was only right after what helena put him through . still , it was a considerable amount , so perhaps this woman got wind of my philanthropy and decided to show up looking for more . any idea where i might find her ? [ scene_break ] hayden : how perfect is this ? you , me , a hotel bed , and lobster for afterward . ric : i beg your pardon ? hayden : i spent all night in bed with a strong , handsome , and , oh , yeah , smoking - hot man who i could n't touch , because he did n't want to take advantage of me . i 'm about to explode with frustration . the least you could do is relieve my tension . ric : maybe you need a massage .

[ scene_break ] jake : i am sorry you never found your husband 's wedding ring . sam : oh , it 's -- it 's o -- i -- it 's okay . i just -- i -- i really wanted to be able to give it to danny . it was a family heirloom . jake : oh , was it really ? sam : yeah . um , jason 's father , dr. alan quartermaine -- it belonged to him , and his mother , monica , had given it to me when we got engaged so i could give it to jason . jake : wow . must be great to be part of a tradition like that . sam : oh , i ca n't tell you . it was -- it was probably the happiest moment of my life . and i -- i know that jason would have wanted danny to have that ring someday . [ scene_break ] spencer : i do n't know how father wound up with alan quartermaine 's ring , but since the man 's dead , he probably wo n't mind . emma : spencer , that 's not a nice thing to say . spencer : i just meant it 's okay for us to use the ring . emma : use it how ? spencer : please take this ring as a token of my affection and a symbol of commitment to each other . emma : commitment ? what do you mean by that ? spencer : i mean you belong to me and i belong to you . from this moment on , we 're each other 's one and only true love . emma : i 'm sorry , spencer , i ca n't accept the ring . spencer : why , is it because you 're afraid of what i look like under this mask ? ! emma : no , it 's because the ring does n't belong to you . besides , we already know we like each other . why do we need a ring to prove it ? spencer : just admit it , emma ! you do n't want my ring because you still have feelings for that townie cameron , even though he 's the one who made my face defaced ! emma : that 's not true ! spencer : cameron burned me on purpose , and you know it . emma : stop it , spencer . the fire was an accident . spencer : no , you stop it ! i can see what 's really going on ! you do n't think this mask is awesome ! you think it 's horrible , and you 'd rather be with some pretty pyromaniac townie than with a freak like me ! patrick : is everything okay ?

[ exhales sharply ] i -- i definitely am attracted to her , but mom immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was influencing me , that i 'm so messed up , that i 've had all these bad relationships with guys that i immediately turn to a woman to avoid getting hurt and that parker took advantage of the situation . molly : mom actually said that ? kristina : i mean , pretty much . [ sighs ] i asked her how she would feel if i was really gay , and she immediately insisted that she 'd be fine with it . molly : well -- well , that 's good , right ? kristina : molly ... she could barely get the word out . i know our mother , and i 'm telling you that she does n't want to believe that i 'm gay . [ scene_break ] parker : no . i did not take advantage of your daughter . not in any way . alexis : well , just so you know , kristina has told me everything . parker : well , if `` everything `` includes a story about me exploiting your daughter , that 's just categorically not true . alexis : well , here 's the way that i see it . i see a very well - liked , hip professor who 's certain about her own sexuality , and then i see my daughter who is a young , attractive student who is uncertain about her own . do you see the power discrepancy here , or do i need to outline it for you ? parker : yes , i am a professor . and kristina is a student . but i did not use that power discrepancy to ask for or promote anything inappropriate between us . not in any way whatsoever . alexis : then how do you think my daughter was able to infer that by offering you sex she would get a better grade ? parker : that 's a question for kristina , not me . alexis : well , we 're here , at wesleyan , and my daughter is at home in port charles , because she has been suspended from this very prestigious and expensive school . so i am asking you . parker : this conversation is over . alexis : i can see that this is a very popular coffee shop , and , um , i can see that people are very well aware of who you are . so if you think that i 'm not going to make a scene , you 're wrong . parker : i am not going to say another word to you without a lawyer . alexis : i am a lawyer . so , have a seat , because i 'm not going anywhere until i get some answers . i am not some 20-year - old student whom you can manipulate , because she looks up to you . parker : i did not seduce kristina , nor am i trying to recruit her for my gay agenda . if i were you , i would try to separate my feelings about kristina 's suspension from the fact that she 's just attracted to women . alexis : if this is the start of some lecture about my internalized homophobia , you can save it . questioning my daughter 's sexuality is not the same as rejecting it . or is that not pc enough for you ? parker : this is n't about me . none of it is . this is about your daughter , and if i may be so bold , i 'd be happy to tell you exactly what she needs . alexis : well , then enlighten me . parker : she needs her mother . [ scene_break ] molly : kristina ... kristina : you know mom and her expectations . she swears that she wants what 's best for us , but somehow that translates into meeting her goals and following her rules . and it 's pretty clear that i 'm not the person that she wanted me to be . molly : maybe mom is just really worried about you separate from the possible gay thing . which does make sense . i mean , you were suspended from school , and you lied about it . kristina : okay , i do n't want to rehash all the dumb - ass mistakes that i made at school . that 's not the point . it 's that mom does n't like the idea of having a gay daughter . molly : but mom loves lucas . kristina : he 's her stepson . it 's not the same . and if mom is already playing the disappointment card , can you even imagine what my dad is going to do when he finds out about me and parker ? [ scene_break ] ava : sonny wanted me to think my own people were threatening me , because the more scared i am , the longer he and carly get to keep avery with them . julian : looks like it . and i confronted him about it , but of course he denied it . ava : why did n't you tell me ? julian : i just want to keep the peace . you know , it was tentative , as it always seems to be between you guys . listen , i do n't want you to think that i 'm lying to you . so ... what are you gon na do ? ava : what do you think i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go to sonny 's , and i 'm gon na get my daughter . [ scene_break ] carly : if anna and the authorities want to go after carlos , let them . why do you have to be involved ? sonny : because carlos tried to kill me . and he killed duke . and if i do n't do anything , i appear weak to my enemies . the violence will escalate and escalate and escalate . i thought we were trying to avoid that . carly : we are ! sonny : okay . then let me handle it ! carly : by hunting down carlos ? sonny : carlos is just a means to an end . we 're gon na find carlos , we 're gon na turn him over to the cops . carlos is gon na testify that julian ordered him to kill duke . julian 's gon na go to prison . that 's the best outcome for our family . carly : carlos is n't gon na go down so easy . he 's a killer , sonny . he 's gon na put up a fight . sonny : carly . please . let me handle -- carly : something could go wrong ! something could go wrong , sonny , and you could get hurt and i ca n't lose you . i ca n't go through that again . i love you too much . [ scene_break ] curtis : face it . the lady 's in charge now . so , why do n't you call your help and let them know there will be three for dinner ? nikolas : who the hell do you think you are ? curtis : i 'm the man that knows enough to put you in prison for attempted murder . like i said , i got proof you had hayden shot . hayden : it 's true , nikolas . curtis : hayden hired me to find proof that she was the intended target that day in the garage . once i found said proof , i took steps to safeguard hayden . nikolas : wow . curtis : and myself . nikolas : convenient . what kind of steps ? curtis : like i 'm gon na tell you . let 's just say it 's enough evidence to get the case reopened . and it 's a good bet that they 're probably gon na drag your moms in for questioning . now , is that what you really want ? nikolas : every word that comes out of your mouth is a lie . curtis : all the cops have to do is assemble ballistics tests to prove that the bullet they took from hayden 's head did not come from sean butler 's gun . that 'll open a second investigation . i can make that call at any time to make that test happen . and then the dominoes fall . next thing you know , your ass is on trial for conspiracy and attempted murder . unless you cooperate . it 's really up to you . [ scene_break ] sam : i was furious at nikolas for trying to cover up the truth about who you really were , but i convinced myself that he did it for elizabeth . but there is no way he would have hayden killed for elizabeth . there 's no way . nikolas did this for himself . hayden 's life meant less to him than elq . he was willing to kill for money . jason : yeah . and then he hired you to investigate hayden . [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] jason : i mean , has he always been this arrogant ? did he think you would n't figure it out ? look , i keep talking about this . i should n't . i 'm sorry . we 'll talk about something else . let me grab my phone . we 'll have some wine . it 'll be a better night , okay ? sam : okay . jason : all right . sam : [ sighs ] jason : you know what ? enough nikolas . it 's wine time . wine is much bet -- sam ? [ scene_break ] julian : ava . ava : sonny has no right to keep my daughter . julian : well , i agree , but rushing over to sonny 's in the middle of the night and grabbing avery is not the way to do it . that 's a mistake . first of all , she 's probably sound asleep . and secondly , if you want to convince the court that you 're a loving , forgiving , and calm parental influence , you know , making avery a chess piece in this game that you and sonny are playing is not the way to do it . ava : i just ca n't believe i did n't realize it was sonny behind it ! it 's so obvious now . julian : that 's not exactly true . now , sonny might be the one who sent you that black rose , but there 's a lot of hostility toward you within the organization -- a lot of anger . ava : [ laughs ] well , that makes me feel a lot better . julian : well , i 'm just telling you like it is . ava : i know what you 're telling me . you 're telling me i 'm at risk from the inside as well as out . julian : i just want you to be mindful , which includes not going insane on sonny , okay ? it 's not gon na do you any good . we both know that you ca n't reason with him . so do n't make an ultimatum . do not tempt fate . ava : i just do n't know why i thought that he would just take care of avery without turning it into some kind of advantage for himself . julian : well , you know sonny 's always gon na take advantage of his enemies when their defenses are down . ava : i should have known better . i will not make that mistake again . [ scene_break ] kristina : my dad sees things in black and white -- make up your mind and stand by your decision . i mean , he 's always just so sure of himself . it might just be easier if i just tell him that i 'm gay , but to tell him that i 'm confused , that i 'm unsure of my sexuality -- that is just weakness . molly : do n't you think if you take too long to tell uncle sonny that the professor that you were into was a woman , the more upset he 'll be when he finds out he was the last to know ? [ door opens ] julian : hey . molly : hey . julian : hey , kristina . i 'm glad you 're here . molly , would you mind if i had a few minutes alone with kristina ? molly : uh , yeah , sure . i 'll be upstairs . julian : thanks . kristina : you want to talk to me ? why ? julian : you know , i thought you should know your mom kind of told me what 's going on with you . kristina : `` what 's going with me `` -- is that how she put it ? julian : no , no . not in so many words , no . kristina : i thought we were having a private conversation . my mistake . julian : i just think that your mom thinks that , you know , i 'm part of the family now , and -- kristina , she just needed somebody to talk to . that 's all . kristina : i 'm sure she did . yeah , what did she tell you ? that , you know , she had the best of intentions and that she did everything right and that i overreacted and misunderstood ? or did she actually admit that she 's disappointed in me ? julian : the only person she 's disappointed in is herself . [ scene_break ] alexis : my daughter knows that i love her unconditionally . parker : have you made that clear to kristina ? alexis : often . parker : well , look . she 's finding her way , but she 's scared . when you question your sexuality , it can lead to an enormous identity crisis . i mean , you think you were surprised to find out that kristina might be attracted to women . imagine how she felt . she 's gone her entire life assuming she 's straight . alexis : well , she 's had only boyfriends up until now . i mean , obsessed enough with one of them to follow him to the caribbean , and the others have been dysfunctional . so , she may be gay or not . i do n't know . but i think we need to consider the possibility that her attraction to you is self - protection . maybe you 're safer . parker : sure . i mean , that 's possible . it 's also possible that she 's in college now , away from her family 's expectations , and she 's allowing herself to feel an attraction that she 's suppressed before . i mean , kristina 's told me she 's confused . she does n't know if she 's gay or if she 's just attracted to the lesbian professor with whom she connected . she thought of me as a friend . that 's what i 've tried to be to her . alexis : and that 's all ? parker : yes . unfortunately , her perception of our relationship got skewed . she took it in a direction that it wo n't go . and now she does n't know what to do next . alexis : her choices are limited , are n't they ? i mean , she 's been suspended , right ? she 's even talking about not coming back to wesleyan at all . i thought she was on the right track . parker : so did she . i think that 's part of the problem . she got into one of the best schools in the country , and things have n't gone the way she thought they would go . now she 's gotten herself in trouble , and she 's opened up something inside of her that 's terrifying . alexis : why do you think she 's terrified ? parker : [ scoffs ] oh , come on . she 's terrified of rejection , of losing her family 's love . why would n't she be scared ? she needs to feel like the life she has at home with you and the rest of her family is never going to change . you know , she told me that she looks up to you . she wants to be just like you . she does n't just want help . she wants your help . she wants her mother . listen to her . pay attention to her . alexis : did she tell you that i do n't listen to her or that i do n't pay attention to her ? parker : no , not in so many words . not necessarily you . maybe her father . but who can blame her ? you know , he sent people here asking questions about her , invading her privacy . alexis : what ? parker : oh , yeah . i mean , she called them off before he found out that the professor she was interested in was me , but yes . alexis : i had no idea that sonny did that . oh , man . parker : look , kristina 's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders , and she 's hiding it all inside of her . she 's finally starting to talk about all this confusion , and she 's probably second - guessing herself . i mean , she feels like even being attracted to a woman would alienate you and her father .

[ scene_break ] kristina : i do n't understand . did my mother say that she made a mistake with how she dealt with me when i told her the truth ? julian : not in so many words , no . kristina : why am i not surprised ? she could never admit that she 's wrong . she wo n't even consider the possibility . julian : i know . would you consider the possibility of giving her a break ? i mean , it can be really difficult for a parent to find out that they did n't know their child as well as they thought they did . kristina : i 'm not even sure that i 'm gay . i just told her that i might not be perfectly straight , and she flips out . [ sighs ] julian : yeah , i know . i know . maybe your mom 's reaction had more to do with the fact that you 've been in a little bit of trouble recently , and she 's worried about a lot more than just your sexuality right now . kristina : okay , you may have a point . i guess i have given her reason to doubt my judgment . julian : i know your mother pretty well . she 's a really great woman -- the best i know . and she 's fair . she 's kind . and you know she would anything for you and your sisters . [ scene_break ] alexis : kristina 's father and i have very different personalities . we do not see the world through the same lens , and i thought that my daughter knew that . my husband 's son is gay . and i helped him through his initial difficulty with that . and now they 're very close . parker : i promise you -- kristina wants that same kind of closeness with you . alexis : i thought we had that . and apparently i just need to try harder to make her feel that . parker : ms. davis , i really did n't influence kristina . we have a connection . we had a connection . i 'm not gon na deny that . but i 'm married , and she 's a student , so ... alexis : i did not , uh , handle this well . i need to do better . and i will , for my daughter . parker : just get to know her . how she is now . not how you remember her as a child .

[ scene_break ] bobbie : what are we celebrating ? carly : oh , i 'm not , mom . i 've just had so much bad news , i do n't know how to process it all . i 'm just gon na have a glass of wine and think . bobbie : hmm . well , do you want some company ? carly : mm . i would love some . yes . josslyn -- she 's at a riding lesson . she missed it today , and i did n't want her sitting in her room all day , so she 's not home . bobbie : oh . you want me to go pick her up ? carly : no . no , not at all . she can get an uber , or her father can get her . bobbie : thanks . carly : jax is in town . bobbie : oh . is that the bad news ? carly : he came to town to tell her that lady jane died . bobbie : [ gasps ] oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . carly : but that 's not the worst part . jax is the one who paid frank benson for nelle 's kidney . [ scene_break ] jax : thanks for meeting me . nelle : why did you want to see me ? jax : because you 're wrong about carly . nelle : look , i do n't know what carly 's been telling you , but i 'm not wrong about her or anything that she 's done to me . jax : nelle , listen to me . carly never contacted your father about finding a kidney for joss . i did . [ scene_break ] valentin : you ca n't just admit that you remember everything and then walk out like there 's nothing more to say . anna : you must be furious with me on so many levels . i -- valentin : that is an understatement . anna : [ scoffs ] well , i -- at least you now know that i was n't stringing you along . valentin : and i 'm supposed to just take your word for that ? anna : it was n't a game , valentin . i did n't know what happened between us . and -- and as for us being together , you know , you believe that it was just manipulation on my part . i know that it was n't , but i do n't know how to convince you of that . i do n't know what you could possibly want from me . valentin : anna , you 've just rocked my world . you 've just turned upside down my complete understanding of a very painful part of my life . i do n't know what i want from you , given this ... news . [ scene_break ] lulu : i was just notified that my supervised visit with charlotte , which was supposed to start in about an hour , has been postponed until tomorrow . griffin : why ? lulu : that 's just it . ms. watkins could n't talk . she practically hung up on me . i am positive that valentin had something to do with it . griffin : wait , valen -- valentin 's interfering with your visits ? lulu : they were mandated by the court , so he ca n't stop them . got to throw up some kind of last - minute roadblock to try to rattle me . griffin : yeah , well , that sounds like something valentin would do . he loves to play games . lulu : thank you . um , i never said thank you for your deposition of support during the custody case . griffin : ah . no thanks necessary . charlotte would be far better off with you . valentin is a dangerous man . look , i do n't believe for a second that claudette committed suicide . that goes directly against her faith . lulu : you think she was murdered . griffin : i ca n't help but wonder if valentin wanted her out of the way . lulu : well , we know what he did to nikolas . ava said that valentin shot him point - blank . no man who could do something like that could possibly be a good father . i 'm sorry , i have to go . griffin : where ? hey , lulu , do n't do anything rash . lulu : i 'm just not letting him get away with it . [ scene_break ] michael : lady jane , jax 's mom , passed away , and he came to tell josslyn in person . sonny : oh , i 'm sorry to hear that . lady jane was a great woman . may she rest in peace . she really liked your mother , and i 'm sure your mother 's very upset about that . michael : yeah , she 's my next stop . i 'm gon na see how she 's doing in person . sonny : i mean , it 's real difficult for josslyn to lose her grandma , especially with everything going on with carly and me . i 'd like to call her . does she know about , uh , w - what went down with nelle ? michael : yeah . sonny : [ sighs ] it must be tough . first , morgan 's death and -- i mean , she must be going through a lot . i wish i could go over there and let her know that everything 's gon na be okay . michael : yeah . [ sighs ] hey , i 'm sorry , dad , but i do n't -- i do n't think seeing josslyn right now would be a good idea . sonny : what did josslyn say ? michael : she said , yeah , she hope , um -- hopes you and mom get a divorce . sonny : well , she may get her wish . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i ca n't believe jax never told you . it 's so surreal , you know ? carly : it is . i do n't know how i feel about jax right now . not about the original deal of buying the kidney , or the fact that he kept it from me for so long . i 'm so ... [ sighs ] disappointed . but i do n't want to be a hypocrite , because i remember how scared i was when josslyn was sick , and i would 've done anything -- anything -- to save her . but i did n't have to because jax did . and now my baby girl is alive , and so , a part of me feels ... grateful . [ scene_break ] jax : josslyn was very sick , so i reached out to anyone and everyone i could think of . i knew that your father had been writing to carly for years and asking her for money . and she also told me about his shady dealings , so i thought maybe with his connections , he would be able to help . nelle : by , what , giving you my kidney ? jax : no , i never thought he would use his own daughter . i thought that maybe he could help find someone who was willing to donate a kidney in exchange for a cut of the money i was offering . nelle : you thought that he would just ask random strangers on the street if they were the -- the right blood type ? if they were okay with living with only one kidney ? jax : to be completely honest with you , i did n't ... [ sniffles ] i did n't ask too many questions . nelle : mm - hmm . jax : i was desperate to save joss . it really did n't matter how that happened . i 'm sorry , nelle . i really am -- i really am sorry , but i - i hope now you realize that your anger should be directed at me and not carly . nelle : stop lying . jax : no , nelle , i 'm -- nelle : no , stop lying for carly . [ scene_break ] kiki : what did the robbers take that was so important ? ava : my charm bracelet . you know , the one with the little hearts , with your name and avery 's name . i just love that bracelet . kiki : yeah , i get it . the thought of those thugs getting their hands on something so personal . but the police got there in time , did n't they ? so they recovered everything . you 'll get it back . ava : yeah . yes . i guess so . i just -- i do n't like being without it . it feels like a part of me is missing . kiki : but it 's evidence . the police are n't gon na lose it . ava : it 's not likely , but it does happen . kiki : i suppose . ava : anyway , they said i 'd be called in later today or tomorrow to identify my belongings , so i suppose i wo n't be able to relax until then . kiki : well , then , i will stay here with you and help you keep your mind off it . ava : oh , kiki , thank you . that is so sweet . kiki : and when you go to the station , i 'll go with you , too . [ scene_break ] henry : detective , i 've had barely a chance to review this case . i have n't even spoken with mr. gentry privately . this interview is premature . dante : well , there 's nothing to review . mr. gentry and his brother were caught dead to rights by commissioner ashford herself . they 're looking at robbery in the first and grand larceny in the third . chris : aw , man . i ca n't do time . dante : well , look , cooperation could be a mitigating factor . i 'll let the da know that you helped me out . chris : with what ? henry : what are you proposing , detective ? dante : recognize that ? who 'd you get those pills from ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i went over to jason and sam 's , and -- and they asked me to be the godfather . michael : oh . oh . sonny : yeah . yeah . michael : that 's , uh -- that 's great , dad . sonny : yeah , they asked your mother to be the godmother . michael : oh , yeah , i guess sam could n't ask one of her sisters . she would n't want to hurt either molly or kristina . sonny : yeah , it 'd be tricky . michael : so you said ... ? sonny : we both said yeah . i mean , this is -- this is all about scout . this has nothing to do with what 's going on with your mom and me . michael : what 's going on , exactly ? sonny : well , she showed up yesterday at jason 's and ... she made it pretty clear that she -- she -- she wants to end the marriage . michael : so , you talked ? sonny : it 's nothing that 's gon na change anything . michael : okay , uh , look , i should get going . i 'll check in on mom . sonny : yeah , go ahead . michael : i - i just want you to know , i mean , we 've already talked about this . you know how i feel . you and mom are doing what you -- what you think you have to . i do n't like it . for me , and especially for avery and josslyn . but i just want you to know , dad , that i -- again , i love you , and i will support you no matter what . sonny : yeah , i love you , too , buddy . michael : okay . see you . griffin : sonny . sonny : hey . it 's kind of rare to see you out of the hospital . griffin : yeah . i , uh -- i thought i 'd grab some takeout . you look like you need someone to talk to . i 'd be happy to listen . sonny : well , you know what , i think you might 've heard everything already . i told carly what happened . it did n't -- it did n't go very well . i do n't really want to get into this right now . griffin : okay . i , uh ... i 'll , uh -- i 'll keep you in my prayers , then . sonny : one thing you need to know is carly 's pretty stubborn , and i might 've said some things i should n't have said . i 'm not really sure that the prayer is gon na be enough . [ scene_break ] bobbie : so , does this change how you feel about nelle ? carly : i 'm guessing it does n't change how you feel about nelle . [ chuckles ] bobbie : oh . yes and no . i mean , nelle was lied to by her own father . he used her . he sold a piece of her . ew ! i mean , that 's -- that 's a terrible thing . carly : i know . bobbie : and i feel sympathy , but ... [ sighs ] i do n't give her a free pass on what she did after . carly : neither do i . she used my grief over morgan , you know ? she was `` there `` for me , she `` comforted `` me , and the whole time she was setting me up , you know ? i mean , she played the perfect part of the perfect little assistant , then she , what , she sleeps with sonny ? she bided her time to sit back and wait for the perfect moment to blow up my life . and not just my life , but josslyn 's life , michael 's life , and avery 's life . so , hell no . i 'm never gon na forgive her for that . [ scene_break ] nelle : you would do anything to cover carly , including letting her dodge all the consequences of what she 's done to me ! jax : nelle . nelle , listen -- listen to me . try to think back to when we first met , okay , and my attitude toward you . i wanted you gone . carly was the one who urged you to stay . that 's because i 'm the one that reached out to frank all those years ago . nelle , i did n't know you were his daughter , but i thought maybe you knew my part in finding a kidney for josslyn . and then , i realized that -- that you did n't know anything , and that 's when i - i calmed down , and you must have seen my attitude towards you change . while carly was nothing but welcoming from the start . that 's because she knew nothing about the deal i made with frank . nelle : no . you 're spinning this . you 're covering for carly , all right ? my father told me what happened ! jax : oh , nelle , i 'm so sorry , but your father lied to you . and i can prove it . [ scene_break ] anna : i truly mean this . perhaps we could just give each other another chance . you could maybe give me another chance . so we do n't have to be enemies moving forward . [ pounding on door ] anna : someone seems quite anxious to see you . valentin : seems that way . [ pounding continues ] valentin : excuse me . lulu : your little game is never gon na work , but you must know that . honestly , it 's beneath even you . valentin : please be specific . what atrocity have i committed this time ? lulu : please , anna , tell me that you are here to arrest him for something . valentin : if she 's here to arrest anybody , it 's gon na be you for trespassing . you were n't invited in here . lulu : i do n't give a damn ! you are not going to screw up my relationship with my daughter , no matter how hard you try . [ scene_break ] ava : oh , honey , you do n't have to come with me to the police station , really . just having you here now makes me feel 100 % better . now , i ca n't wait for the nail salon . tell me what your news is . you were so vague on the phone . kiki : well , i registered for the six - week training course at general hospital to become a nurse 's aide . ava : oh , that 's wonderful . kiki : yeah . ava : that is great . what a step up from that tacky metro court . you wo n't have to work for the likes of carly . kiki : yeah . since i left that job , i 've been looking for something a little more meaningful , and i really think i found it . i like working at the hospital and feeling like i 'm helping people . ava : i 'm happy for you . and who would n't feel better after looking at this face ? kiki : ma ! ava : [ laughs ] they 're lucky to have you . you 're smart , you 're compassionate . kiki : the best part is i 'm not wasting my time in a classroom . i 'm already interacting with the patients . and i feel like i 'm learning so much on the psychiatric ward . ava : the psych ward ? is that where you 're gon na be ? kiki : yeah . ava : all the time ? kiki : i hope so , actually , yeah . ava : i do n't remember you being interested in psychology in college . kiki : because i was n't . back then , all i was interested in was online gambling . but i 'm interested now . ava : why ? kiki : i need to understand what happened to morgan . [ scene_break ] chris : i 've never seen it before . dante : you 're lying . henry : that is for the courts to decide . chris : why are you asking about this instead of all the jewelry and cell phones paul and me supposedly stole ? those are n't my drugs . you ca n't pin that on me . dante : the pills belonged to my brother , morgan corinthos . he died last october . chris : oh , yeah . he got blown up , right ? dante : there 's no reason that those pills should 've been at the floating rib . i need to understand how they got amongst all the stuff that you stole from those people . henry : allegedly stole . dante : you are going down for this , okay ? you know that . this is your chance to make a difference for a lot of people . give a grieving family some peace of mind . okay , it might even make a difference with the judge -- show what kind of man you are . come on ! i need a name ! i need a name , a description , something ! tell me -- tell me who you got those pills from ! [ scene_break ] griffin : hey , listen , i , uh , i hope you 're wrong , because i still believe , and i 'll say a prayer for you and -- and light a candle . sonny : you might want to light 20 . griffin : [ chuckles ] all right . hey , bobbie . bobbie : sonny . sonny : i know what you must think of me . bobbie : do you ? 'cause i do n't . i have n't known what to think of you all the years that you have been involved with carly . in some ways , you 're a really good man . you love your kids , and i know you love carly , but you have n't been able to make a life with her . every time she tries -- every time -- she gives in and lets herself fall back in love with you , she 's the one who winds up getting hurt . [ scene_break ] carly : it 's so good to see you . michael : did you get my voicemail ? carly : yes , and thank you . thank you for being there for josslyn , you know ? i mean , losing jax 's mom on top of morgan is -- it 's really gon na be tough for her . michael : well , she 's my little sister . you do n't have to thank me for loving her . carly : you believe she snuck out of her window and had you pick her up down the street ? michael : yeah . she , uh -- she kept insisting , um , that she did n't want to interrupt you and jax . she seemed to think you had something important to discuss . carly : yeah . yeah , we did . but she could n't possibly know what that was . michael : um , i ran into dad at kelly 's . carly : okay . michael : have you decided ? are you gon na divorce dad ? carly : look , i ca n't even think about divorce right now , all right ? 'cause josslyn was right . jax and i were discussing something very important ... about nelle . [ scene_break ] jax : i figured you might have a hard time taking my word for it , so i brought you a picture of the cashed check . nelle : no . it 's easy to fake that . a smart businessman like you , you would n't -- you would n't leave an obvious paper trail . jax : yeah , you 're right . but frank insisted that it was a personal check , probably 'cause he planned on blackmailing me down the road . nelle : mm - hmm . jax : and then joss got the , uh , kidney from jake webber , or at least that 's what we thought . so , i , uh , i ordered the nurse to find a worthy recipient for the kidney that frank arranged . nelle : my kidney . mm - hmm . jax : i never heard from him again . and i - i did n't know that you were the donor . nelle : you know what , this did n't happen , all right ? my father was never even paid . he never -- he never even saw that check . jax : but he was paid . you , uh ... you must recognize your father 's signature . that 's his , right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i never wanted any of this . you know , i made mistakes with nelle and ... sleeping with her and covering it up . but in my defense ... i was grieving . i -- i was grieving over morgan 's death , you know ? bobbie : i understand that . i understand that more than you realize . i know how grief overwhelms you , takes away your ability to reason . sonny : yeah . bobbie : but what i do n't understand is how you watched for months while nelle got closer to carly . why did n't you warn my daughter ? sonny : i so wish i had . bobbie : so do i . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , are you sure ? after what you went through with morgan , the psych ward just seems so morbid . have you thought about pediatrics ? kiki : right now , psych is exactly where i need to be . i ca n't just let this go , mom . i need to understand how morgan spiraled so completely that he stole julian 's car . ava : putting yourself in such a disturbing environment with people that may share some of the same symptoms , i do n't think that 's gon na give you any more insight into what happened with morgan . kiki : this is a place to start , and these people need help . i want to help them . this is n't just about morgan . it 's about doing something worthwhile . this is something that i 'm good at . ava : okay . okay , good . and you 're with dillon , and i just want to see that continue . i want to see you continue to move forward . kiki : i am . ava : and you know what , you 're right -- there are no easy answers . kiki : everything that i have learned about morgan , it 's even more puzzling . ava : what things ? kiki : i talked to one of the doctors -- dr. klein . she 's brilliant . i told her all about morgan 's situation . i listed all of his medications , and obviously , she could n't tell me anything definitive , but she was struck by the timing . ava : why ? kiki : because it all happened so fast . i mean , morgan basically went from being on top of his symptoms to his moods being completely out of control within a matter of weeks . and that 's what really concerns me . that 's what bothers me , is , how did his medication quit so completely , so quickly ? ava : you have to stop letting this haunt you . you really ought to put it out of your mind , kiki , because you are not gon na get an answer ! [ scene_break ] dante : what can you tell me ? chris : it 's rough your brother got blown up , but i do n't talk to cops . dante : you remembered something when i showed you those pills . i could tell . what 's the matter with you ? you 're just gon na throw away the chance of reducing your sentence ? henry : is this offer sanctioned by da garcia ? she 's the only one who can make that call . dante : look , i can attest to the da that gentry cooperated with the investigation , and she will take that into consideration . henry : that 's not a guarantee . chris : it does n't matter anyway . helping out cops in any way -- not gon na happen . i 'm no snitch . no . no , you 're not a snitch . dante : you know what you are ? you 're going to prison . and good luck with that . i 'll leave you to confer with your client . [ door slams ] officer : hey . dante : hey . i need the lab to run prints and dna on this pill bottle asap . officer : got it . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] sonny : what the ... hell ? [ scene_break ] lulu : he 's playing games with my visitation with charlotte . i 'm sure you 're not surprised . you know how he is . anna : i 'm gon na go . you know where to find me . lulu : what is that all about ? valentin : none of your business . lulu : well , you know what is my business -- you sabotaging my time with charlotte ! valentin : what are you talking about ? i have n't sabotaged anything . she knows she 's spending the day with you . today 's the visitation day . lulu : oh . no , she wo n't be with me . the visit was cancelled . valentin : well , that 's the first i 've heard of it . okay , i have an e - mail from child services . yes , the visit was canceled , but i did n't have anything to do with this . mrs. watkins said that there 's a family emergency . she did n't call you ? lulu : she barely said a word to me . it would n't be too difficult for you to create that emergency , now , would it ? valentin : i do n't have to create emergencies . all i have to do is comply with the court orders and let you take care of the rest . because you are so self- centered and so demanding and so entitled , you do not need my help alienating charlotte . so just be glad that she was n't here to see your latest paranoid tirade , because you 've upset her enough . lulu : maybe you did n't have anything to do with today 's visit being cancelled . maybe you did . what i know for certain is that you kept my daughter from me for years . no child is safe with you . the court will see that , and ultimately , i will get custody . valentin : okay . you 've -- you 've come all the way out here just to make the same old tired argument ? why do n't we talk about something different ? how about charlotte 's nanny , nelle ? [ scene_break ] jax : as you can see , your father did get the money . nelle : you know , after my operation , when i was still really sick ... he told me he was waiting for the money . that he 'd be there soon and that everything would be okay . i could go to the fancy prep school in town and really make something of myself . [ sighs ] and then ... jax : then what ? nelle : he went away for a couple of weeks -- disappeared like he sometimes would . i did n't want him to go 'cause i was still really weak and ... [ sighs ] he told me he had a great opportunity , and he had to take it . and when he got back , he told me carly had cheated him , that he was never paid . so , i could n't go to that prep school . he said he was sorry , but carly was heartless and ... selling a kidney 's illegal , so there was nothing he could do about it . that 's just the way it was . i wanted to call carly myself and yell at her for cheating my dad and for taking my kidney . so i found his address book . jax : what happened ? nelle : that 's when i saw it . and that 's when i knew ... [ sighs ] jax : nelle ? nelle : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] valentin : i understand you introduced yourself to nelle . lulu : yeah . we spoke when we ran into each other at kelly 's . why ? did nelle say something ? valentin : no . just that you 'd spoken . she knows about the custody situation . i told her . and she now knows that you 're trying to take charlotte away form me . lulu : well , i 'm sure you made yourself sound sympathetic . you 're really good at that . it certainly worked with the judge . eventually , the truth will become apparent to the court , because except for nina , yeah , this entire town hates you . anna certainly knows exactly what you 're all about . valentin : you 'd be surprised what anna knows . [ scene_break ] griffin : mm . anna ! anna , hey . hi . anna : oh , griffin . griffin : hey , sorry . i did n't know you were back . anna : oh , yes . griffin : it 's good to see you . anna : i got back this morning . i was gon na call you , but , um ... it 's just been an exhausting day . griffin : yeah . is everything okay ? i know you went searching for answers to your past with valentin . anna : i found them . griffin : you want to -- you want to talk about it ? anna : it 's a long story . um ... turns out that i did do all those things that valentin accused me of . [ scene_break ] michael : so , nelle 's story was true ? except jax was the one who offered her father money , not you ? carly : jax paid frank , and frank did n't share the money with his family . no surprise there . michael : nelle really did believe everything that she told us . frank manipulated her into hating you . carly : okay . it 's not that simple , though . it 's not . i mean , yes , frank did lie to nelle . and i can understand how that would affect her , to an extent . but at some point , nelle got so twisted in her revenge that all she wanted to do was hurt me . you know ? i mean , think about it , michael . i let her into our lives . i gave her a job . i let her see me . i let her see the real me , and right then , that should 've made her question every single awful thing that frank ever told her . how did she repay me ? by doing every single thing she could to ruin my life -- and not just my life , but your life and josslyn 's life . and , okay , like , let 's say i could get past that . what i ca n't get past is that she used morgan 's death to manipulate us . [ scene_break ] nelle : everything suddenly makes sense . jax : what do you remember ? nelle : it does n't matter . it 's private . but the point is that i believe you . i believe that you made the deal with my dad and not carly . jax : look , i know you must be furious with me , but i want to make it right . nelle : you know what , please just -- please do n't talk to me about this right now . just leave me alone . will you ? jax : of course . nelle : please ? jax : okay . if you want to talk more about it , just give me a call , okay ? nelle : i did what you wanted , daddy . i made carly suffer . i made her hurt . i made her hate me forever . and it was all a lie . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kiki : i ca n't just forget about morgan or what he went through . of course , i have questions . why does that bother you so much ? ava : it does n't . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i overreacted . i 'm ... i know that i 'm overprotective of you , sweetheart . i just want what 's best . kiki : working at the hospital , on the psych ward , that is what is best for me . i can feel that . [ cell phone chimes ] ava : oh . they want me to come down to the police station and identify my belongings , so ... kiki : okay , let 's go . ava : no . [ laughs ] no , you do n't have to come with me . i 'll just be filling out paperwork and ... it 'll be a non - event . really , you just go get your manicure . kiki : are you sure ? ava : yeah , i 'm sure . and again , i 'm sorry that i snapped like that . i ... i did n't sleep very well last night . kiki : it 's okay , mom . do n't worry about it . i just -- i have some questions about morgan that i need answered so that i can finally have closure . [ scene_break ] sonny : i got your text . what 's going on ? dante : there 's been a development with morgan 's case . it may be nothing , but we need to investigate it . sonny : what happened ? dante : there was an attempted robbery at the floating rib last night . we bagged and tagged everything the robbers took from the patrons , but something strange turned up -- one of morgan 's prescription bottles . [ scene_break ] griffin : you said you had n't seen valentin since you guys were together at the wsb academy . anna : i did n't remember . it 's -- look , it is a very long story , and if it 's okay with you , maybe we can talk about it later . do you think ? griffin : yeah . yeah , of course . anna : okay . griffin : get some rest . anna : yes . griffin : i 'll see you at the hospital for your appointment tomorrow . anna : absolutely . griffin : hey , i 'm -- i 'm glad you 're back . anna : oh , yes . i am , too . [ scene_break ] valentin : why do n't we save ourselves some trouble , and if you have any problems with visitation in the future , just contact child services , all right ? please show yourself out . [ door closes ] lulu : sounds like nelle could be on my side . [ valentin remembers ] anna : that night meant something to me ... like i know that it meant to you . [ scene_break ] michael : nelle ?

[ scene_break ] ned : i think someone on the hospital staff just grew overly attached to kristina while she was staying there . jax : you do n't think it could 've been anyone in the quartermaine family , like the servants or the gardener ? ned : no , i questioned everyone , and so have the police . a hospital employee is the only logical answer . skye : are you absolutely sure that alexis does n't have her ? ned : i know she has serious emotional psychological problems , but for some reason , i believe her on this . jax : yeah , so do i . [ scene_break ] alexis : you have a way with babies , i see . cameron : babies are easy . it 's more difficult when they become children . almost impossible when they become adults .

courtney : elizabeth . hi . elizabeth : hey . courtney : we need your help . elizabeth : okay . what 's going on ? jax : we want to research rachel 's background -- employment records , correspondence , anything the hospital might have on file . courtney : we 're just hoping that we might find something that 'll prove that she killed a.j . alan : these people are not to have access to any records whatsoever . jax : we 're trying to find out the truth about who killed a.j . alan : what you 're trying to do is pin a.j . 's murder on rachel even though the entire town knows that courtney killed him . [ scene_break ] carly : michael needs something from me . i know it . you think i 'm crazy . lorenzo : i think if michael could come back to you , he would .

[ scene_break ] john : it 's going to take inside information to convict sonny . i 'll need the money to pay for it . man : corinthos must be stopped . you 'll be provided with whatever you need . [ scene_break ] reese : no one is too good to be caught -- not you , not sonny . you had a good run , but you finally made that fatal error , the one that you ca n't cover up . sonny : then arrest him or leave ! stop playing games here . [ scene_break ] jax : courtney did n't kill a.j . she was set up . alan : really ? murder kind of runs in her family . her brother probably gave her pointers . courtney : alan , i told you and the rest of the quartermaines after it happened , the last time i saw a.j . , he was alive . jax : look , you do n't need to defend yourself , and you can believe whatever you want , but we just found out that rachel was living in the bahamas six months prior to a.j . 's death . alan : so what ? courtney : so it proves that she was lying to me on the plane . she said that she was there for vacation . alan : that 's your word against hers . who do you think i 'm going to believe ? jax : a.j . was your son . you 'd think you 'd want to know the truth about who killed him . alan : no , what you want me to do is kind of turn my back so you can pin a.j . 's murder on rachel . you get hold of the file , plant some phony information tying her to a.j . jax : we believe that the information is already there . all we 're asking for is a chance to review it . alan : request denied , and stop harassing my staff . elizabeth : they were n't . courtney : look , if it 'll make you feel any better , alan , you can watch while we read rachel 's file . alan : what is going to make me feel better is watching you go to prison . now , get out of the hospital before i call security . courtney : what are you afraid of , alan ? are you afraid that we 're going to find out rachel 's guilty ? alan : i am neither afraid of you or your psychotic brother . you killed my son , and now i 'm going to make sure you pay for it . jax : you know , courtney has had nothing but respect for you and your entire family . the least you can do is treat her the same way . alan : you better be careful , jax . you do n't get her acquitted , she may kill you , too . jax : all right , watch it , alan , because there 's only so much of this i 'll take . monica : what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] a.j . : the hurt feelings you have right now wo n't last forever . little by little , you 'll start to feel better ; you 'll start accepting the life you have now . and when that happens , we are going to have a terrific time . michael : could you leave me alone for a while ? a.j . : okay . but only for 20 minutes , because that 's all it takes for me to gas up the boat . michael : i do n't want to go on the boat . a.j . : michael , you -- you 're a great kid . you deserve to be happy , and you know what ? i have never seen you happier than when you 're out on that water behind the wheel of that boat . i 'll see you soon , captain . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : you had a powerful bond with your son . you were very connected . carly : but you do n't believe that i saw him . lorenzo : i think you needed to see him and that was enough . carly : oh , i wish you were right , lorenzo . i really do , because it would be a lot easier to believe that i was just having visions . it 's more than that . lorenzo , i know . lorenzo : all right , describe it to me . carly : look , it 's not like i willed michael to appear . he just showed up on his own . he needs something from me . lorenzo : maybe he wants you to go after the people that took him away from you . carly : no , uh - uh . no , it 's not -- it 's not about revenge . it 's positive . i just -- oh , god , i ca n't figure out what it is . lorenzo : michael loved his brother , morgan . maybe it 's as simple as him saying he wants you to protect him . carly : it 's possible . god , michael loved him so much . he took care of him , you know ? always saying , like , `` mom , i think morgan 's hungry , `` `` take his temperature , he 's got a fever . `` they could have been the best of friends , but now morgan 's not even going to remember him . lorenzo : michael knew how devoted to him you were . maybe wherever he is , he wants you to know that it 's okay to let him go . carly : i ca n't . i wo n't . lorenzo : carly , his life is over . he would n't want yours to end , too . come on , i 'll walk you out . carly : know what , lorenzo , it 's okay . you can go . you can go . i know you 've got business you need to take care of . lorenzo : nothing 's more important than making sure you 're all right . carly : thanks , lorenzo , but i 'm fine . i 'm fine here by myself . lorenzo : call me if you need me .

[ scene_break ] alan : courtney 's trying to pin a.j . 's murder on rachel because she knows there is n't a jury in the world that 's going to buy that victim story , especially after they find out what she did for a living , taking her clothes off . jax : okay , you know what ? that 's enough . alan : hey , jax , i thought you wanted to know the truth . i mean , do n't you even know who you 're marrying ? jax : i know that courtney 's incapable of murdering anyone . alan : oh , please . she 's as bad as her brother , maybe worse . at least sonny admits that he 's a gangster . she hides behind these charitable institutions where you 're supposedly helping little children . courtney : i am not hiding behind my foundation , alan . alan : once you found out you were sonny 's sister , you could n't wait to get into bed with the mob . unfortunately , my former son could n't wait to get in there with you . monica : courtney 's marriage to jason has nothing to do with this . alan : jason probably taught her how to kill . monica : stop it , alan . alan : tell me something , courtney . do you ever have any regrets about the moment when you shoved the letter - opener in between a.j . 's ribs ? courtney : i did not kill a.j . , alan ! alan : or was it just business as usual ? another day , another dead quartermaine ? monica : alan ! come with me , please . alan : i 'm not going anywhere . monica : alan , please . sit down . you have got to calm down . you are completely out of control . alan : i 'm not saying anything that i should n't . she deserves everything that she gets . monica : i have seen you like this , alan . you are drinking , you 're trying to hide it , and you 're lashing out . alan : this has nothing to do with drinking . for god 's sake , monica , michael and a.j . are dead . monica : and the fact that you are grieving does n't give you the right to attack people in public . alan : i ca n't look at her without seeing my son 's body on a slab in the morgue ! monica : courtney did not kill a.j . rachel did , and she is trying -- alan : how can you pretend that ? why ? because courtney is tied to your precious jason ? monica : okay . i want you to leave this hospital and go directly to an a.a. meeting . alan : i have a consultation in 20 minutes . monica : oh , do you really want people to see you like this ? hmm ? monica : i -- sorry about that . he 's not handling his loss very well . but could you tell me specifically what it was that set him off ? courtney : we were trying to get access to rachel 's files . we were hoping we 'd find something that would tie her to a.j . 's murder . monica : oh , well , i think that 's a very good idea , and i will take responsibility for it . elizabeth , will you please give them any files we have on rachel adair ? [ scene_break ] john : i want an update on rachel adair . mac : there 's been no change , john . she 's still unconscious . john : mac , look , we need her to pull through . she was at the sandoval shootings . she might have seen jason morgan . mac : well , i hate to break this to you , but that still wo n't help us nail sonny . john : oh , but it might . mac : jason will never roll over on his boss . john : you see , mac -- mac : sonny 's going to walk away from this like he does everything else . mac : mac , right there . that is exactly the problem with your department . sonny 's been telling you for so long he 's untouchable , you 've started to believe it . mac : i want to nail sonny just as badly as you do . the only difference is i play by the rules . john : yeah , and you lose to him year after year , until it starts to feel that that 's the way it 's supposed to be . well , sonny corinthos belongs in prison , and i will not rest until he 's there for good . [ scene_break ] jason : reese might have proof that ties us both to the sandoval killings . sonny : she told you ? jason : she let me know without saying it . sonny : she 's bluffing , or else she would have used it . jason : hey , you know what ? that 's what i said to her . but she knows that you 're hurting over michael , and it does n't seem to me that she wants to make things worse for you . sonny : i 'd love to believe that reese is a good person , that , you know , she 's seen what i 'm going through with michael , but i ca n't take that chance . so -- sam : hey , i got the plane ticket . sonny : where you going ? jason : sam and i are going to the islands . sonny : to do what ? sam : you know what , sonny ? it was my idea . i thought that jason really needed a rest , you know ? sonny : a rest ? he has n't slept ? jason : no -- sam : no , he has n't slept . he 's been staring at this computer day and night , and he wo n't get off of it . he 's looking for clues about who 's working with faith and all that , and i just really thought that -- sonny : well , you know , william peavy 's in jail . what else you got to check on ? jason : there 's others , sonny . i want to know who they are . i want to know . sam : excuse me -- sonny : what ? sam : can we please not talk about this right now ? i do n't -- i know it 's going to end up in a fight . jason really needs to rest . i think we should just -- sonny : all right . all right . look , i think she 's right . i 'm glad that you 're there for him and that whole thing , and i 'll see you guys later . sam : okay . jason : i do n't like keeping things from sonny . sam : i know . i know . but look , in sonny 's eyes , we do n't have any real proof . he 's going to think that we are acting on false hope , so let 's just keep doing what we 're doing . we 're going to go to the islands , we 're going to get clues , we 're going to find michael , and hopefully we 're going to bring him home .

[ dog barks ] michael 's voice : i miss you , mom . i want to come home .

[ scene_break ] john : sonny is a genius at public relations . he makes a big show of loving his children . he gives to all the local charities . he actually has this city convinced that he is a decent human being . mac : look , i 've known sonny a long time . the generosity is real , and so are the crimes . john : well , then why have n't you brought him down ? mac : you 're the federal prosecutor , john . why have n't you ? john : one reason -- i 've never actually been able to find someone who is willing to risk their life to go on record against corinthos . mac : yeah , that 's because sonny takes care of his people . do n't you understand ? even after they 've stopped working for him , they wo n't give him up . john : everyone has a price , mac . all you got to do is find it . [ scene_break ] carly : what are you doing here ? sonny : i just came by to , you know , see the construction , see how much they got done . carly : and to be close to michael ? it 's okay to say it , sonny . that 's why i 'm here myself . sonny : yeah . i -- i came by to be close to my little boy . carly : i was hoping that i 'd see michael again , you know , that if i sat on the swings he 'd come and join me . sonny : you did n't see him , carly . it 's your mind , you know , wishing that he was there . carly : uh - uh . i do n't agree . but i wo n't try and convince you . sonny : people have been very sympathetic , you know , but whatever they say to me does n't sink in , it 's just a bunch of words , you know , because they can not feel what i feel . carly : sonny , it helps me to see michael . it helps me . and reese said i should cherish these moments because they would fade . she said it 's what happened with her son . sonny : what do you mean ? carly : i thought you knew . reese lost a child of her own . [ scene_break ] reese : bourbon . no ice . reese : another .

's murder inside and out , trying to figure out what happened , and courtney came up with a theory . why do n't you tell it to skye ? courtney : i think a.j . and rachel were romantically involved . skye : based on what ? courtney : well , rachel claims that she killed a.j . simply because she met me on the plane and heard how i felt about him . i mean , even for a lunatic , that seems a little extreme . skye : okay . good point . courtney : anyway , it got me thinking , you know , of other reasons why rachel might have wanted a.j . dead . and it seems logical that the two of them had an affair and it ended badly . maybe rachel got hurt . she felt like it was like with steven webber all over again . she lost it , she snapped , she murdered a.j . , planned to meet me on the plane and frame me for the murder . skye : well , that 's quite a story . jax : well , we need proof . we 're trying to establish a connection between a.j . and rachel . we know that rachel was living in the bahamas for six months prior to a.j . 's death , but we need more . skye : how can i help ? jax : well , you talked to a.j . when he resurfaced . we want to know if he said anything about a relationship with rachel . skye : i 'm afraid i 'm not going to be able to tell you what you want to hear , because up until the day he died , a.j . was still in love with courtney .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i went by the hospital to take robin a change of clothes . she was sleeping . but the hospital told me that she can check out today . and i know robin . she 's going to want to leave as soon as she wakes up , so you need to get yourself together so you can go over there and stop her . what the hell , jason ? did i spend last night confiding in you about robin to make myself feel better ? i do n't think so . robin needs a friend to convince her that therapy is a good idea . jason : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey . robin : i do n't know why i had to stay overnight . it was totally unnecessary . i mean , there 's so much to do at home . there must be a ton of laundry . oh , and i think that we should get a diaper service . it would be one less thing to worry about , unless you hate that idea . patrick : no , i do n't hate that idea . but you have something to do first . dr. brown : good morning , robin . robin : what are you doing here ? patrick : you have an appointment . robin : i do n't appreciate being ambushed . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm so sorry . hi . i 'm carly jacks . it 's so nice to meet you . dr. hensen : dr. hensen . carly : thank you . thank you for coming to check out michael . obviously , we are very concerned that two of the patients who had your procedure died , but we still would like to consider it for michael . jax : dr. hensen and i were just discussing how we can help her with michael 's assessment . dr. hensen : your husband sent michael 's records along before i left . i was able to study them during the flight . i saw your son as soon as i got in . carly : the other day , i saw his hand move . i mean , it was n't like he was reaching for me , it was just a twitch , but it was more than we 've seen for a whole year . dr. hensen : involuntary muscle movement is not uncommon . all the tests indicate that your son is still in a permanent coma . i have to agree with what his other doctors told you . there 's almost no chance that michael will ever wake on his own . carly : then why did his hand move ? why did it move the other day and not six months ago ? dr. hensen : perhaps michael 's body is responding to the physical therapy he 's received . jax : so that 's a good thing , right ? dr. hensen : michael is still relatively healthy , which could improve his chances . jax : what about the other patients in your trial ? dr. hensen : eight of ten patients had various levels of recovery , but in medical science , that 's too small a sampling to be conclusive . i am hopeful that as my method develops that it will save other patients , like your son . but right now , today , there are no guarantees . carly : i 'm not looking for a guarantee . i 'm looking for a chance . [ scene_break ] ethan : back off . tracy : i 'd watch my tone if i were you . ethan : yeah , i 'd keep my hands to myself if i were you . [ tracy laughs ] tracy : that from a pickpocket . ethan : why are you here ? tracy : well , i thought i would liberate the cash that you 've been skimming from the till . perhaps i could convince you to return it to the drawer it belongs in . ethan : me and luke have an understanding . i 'm entitled to whatever i can skim . tracy : and my understanding is unless this place stays in the black , i show you the door . ethan : you 'd miss me too much if i were gone . tracy : which begs the question , how long are you planning on staying ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you know what ; i 'm going to make some calls . i 'll talk to ms. howard , and i 'll get back to you after lunch , okay ? thanks . matt : hello . is maxie here ? lulu : oh , no . matt : no ? okay , i 'll wait . she would hate to miss me . not that she would ever admit that , but -- lulu : that kind of attitude will not win you any points with maxie . matt : oh , she likes me . and as soon as she admits it , we can move on from this whole chase thing and move onto the whole fun thing . [ scene_break ] maxie : robin has always fought to stay alive , like how she dealt with her hiv . she could have given up , but she did n't . this postpartum thing has gotten her seriously messed up , and i think she needs some serious help . that 's where you come in . jason : robin has a lot of people who care about her , like you . you can tell her to go to a doctor . i 'm not that person , okay ? i ca n't do it . maxie : `` i ca n't `` ? what does that even mean , `` i ca n't `` ? jason : i went through treatment after my head injury , psychiatric as well as physical . i hated every second of it . maxie : you 're not robin . jason : that 's my point . maxie : i 'm sure you were no picnic for the doctors , either . jason : well , you know what ? the doctors always talked down to me , they thought they had all the answers . they did n't have the answers for me , so i 'm the wrong person to go tell robin what to do when it comes to this situation . maxie : after everything robin has done for you , i think she deserves more than your standard excuse for doing nothing at all . [ scene_break ] robin : was this your idea ? patrick : what if it was ? robin : why not just go all the way and have me committed ? patrick : robin , do n't be ridiculous . you had an appointment . under the circumstances , not really a good day to start playing hooky . robin : under what circumstances ? i accidentally fell off the dock last night . i do n't see why a psychiatrist is necessary right now . patrick : i want you to prove to me that you are serious about getting help . robin : is n't that between me and my doctor ? patrick : robin , for your sake , for my sake , and for emma 's sake , show up to treatment . robin : or what ? [ scene_break ] carly : jax and i want to carefully evaluate the risks . three years , five years , someone else could come up with a safer procedure . dr. hensen : of course . anything is possible , but i 'm not sure michael can wait three years . even one more year may be too long . carly : too long for what ? you said yourself that he was healthy and strong . dr. hensen : relatively . but in a recent case , a patient came out of his coma after 10 years . there had been so much atrophy that he could barely speak and was incapable of significant movement . carly : okay , michael has physical therapy three times a day , seven days a week . dr. hensen : it 's an excellent regimen . unfortunately , michael is still going to deteriorate . jax : well , let 's back up a few steps here . let 's talk about the two patients in your trail that died . dr. hensen : the two fatalities were not a result of the procedure going wrong . both patients had preexisting conditions . jax : which michael does not have . dr. hensen : which michael does not have . carly : so does that minimize the risk for my son ? jax : it sounds like it 's even more of a risk to wait . carly : yeah , i know . i just want to hear what she has to say . dr. hensen : i ca n't promise you that this procedure will be successful for michael . it 's a decision that you need to make carefully . i 'll leave you to think about it . jax : thank you . carly : did i hear her correctly ? michael 's getting worse every day ? we have to wake him up as soon as possible . [ scene_break ] jason : robin does not need another person telling her what to do . maxie : you guys loved each once . i remember . i mean , i was a little kid , but you were the one that convinced robin to go on the hiv protocol and that saved her life . jason : robin made the choice . all i did was help her get there . maxie : so help her again . please , jason , at least for emma . i mean , that little girl deserves a mom who 's not so trashed by depression , she ca n't even go near her own baby . and do n't tell me that is robin making a choice because you know she would never choose to be a lousy mother . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not going to do this , robin . i 'm not going to let you make me angry in order to change the subject . robin : i 'm getting treatment . you do n't have to force me to do it . patrick : that 's great . prove to me -- prove how committed you are to our daughter , then . robin : there was an accident , but i 'm sure you 've already formed all kinds of opinions . dr. brown : well , i always formulate opinions about my patients . that 's my job . the good news is my opinions can evolve . so are we having a session or not ? robin : feels more like a witch hunt . dr. brown : i acknowledge your feelings . why do n't you tell me why you were on that pier ? robin : despite what patrick already told you , i was just on the docks to think . you know , i needed some time to think about what you and i had talked about . it was foggy and it was slippery and i fell in . he found me , and patrick pulled me out of the water . dr. brown : that was a stroke of luck . robin : yeah , i guess i should be more grateful . anyway , accidents happen and i feel better today . i woke up feeling eager to get home and get back to normal . and i also took the meds that you prescribed , see ? so can i go now ? dr. brown : you have a serious condition . you need to get serious to deal with it . normal is not an option until you address your postpartum depression . you have to work for it . it wo n't go away by itself . robin : actually , that 's not always true . i 've studied the statistics . dr. brown : there are all kinds of statistics . do you want to wait and find out which category you fall into ? robin : look , i know that i have postpartum . i know that i 've acted out in inappropriate ways . and i 'm also aware that it has affected patrick , so maybe he should also get some help . dr. brown : couples counseling is a great idea . i 'd be glad to make patrick a part of our sessions . or we can continue alone . it 's your choice .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : there are two things that you need to keep in mind . one is that you love robin , right ? and two , whatever is happening right now is not only happening to you , but it 's happening to her as well . when you pretend that all your fear and your anger and your heartache are n't important anymore , that is when things get worse . patrick : i do n't want to upset robin anymore than she already is . elizabeth : so it 's okay to just let this fester inside of you ? patrick : i can deal with it . elizabeth : okay , then how are you dealing with this whole rochester thing ? patrick : you mean the guy ? elizabeth : yes , i mean the guy , the guy you saw her with standing outside her hotel room . how is this playing out in your head late at night when you ca n't sleep ? patrick : i ca n't help but wonder if she keeps in touch with him , if she 's talking to him when she 's not talking to me . or is there somebody else that i 'm not even aware of ? elizabeth : i 'm really glad that you can talk to me about this , and i appreciate your honesty , but i 'm not the one you should be telling this to . patrick : i know . elizabeth : you should just tell robin that you were in rochester and that you saw her with this guy . patrick : i know , but really , but really , there is only two possible outcomes . she 's going to feel punished and wrong , or she 's going to flat out deny that she even slept with the guy in the first place . and neither one of them is going to help her get over her depression . elizabeth : and what about you ? patrick : if robin is well and emma gets her mother back , robin and i can work on getting past this . elizabeth : okay , and until then you can just unload on me and i promise not to be too pushy . patrick : i know . listen , i appreciate your perspective as a friend and a mother . i really do . elizabeth : i just want you and robin to work past this and be happy again , because i care about you , both of you guys . and i hope you can remain honest with what it is that you want . patrick : i want my wife and i want my family back .

[ robin laughs ] jason : what ? robin : you know , if patrick had said that to me , i would bite his head off , but it 's true . and for some reason i can hear it coming from you . jason : you know why ? because you do n't like asking for help and i do n't like telling people what to do . robin : that 's why we get along so well . jason : so why do n't you tell me what scares you the most ? robin : what if this treatment does n't work ? what if -- jason : what if what you 're feeling is n't because of postpartum depression ? robin : what if i just do n't want to be a mother ? what if this has nothing to do with postpartum depression ? what happens to emma if i do n't want to be a mom ? what she going to do ? i mean , what if she needs me , my help , and my love ? jason : okay , do you hear yourself right now ? you 're worried about emma . you want her to be cared for and loved and that 's what mothers do .

[ scene_break ] carly : i do n't understand . why would you owe me an apology ? lucky : i , uh , i jumped to some pretty harsh conclusions about you when i heard you were on the suspect list . and for whatever reason , i decided you were guilty . and i went off on this judgmental rant about how you only care about yourself . and i 'm really sorry that i did that . carly : i am pretty selfish sometimes . and for a few hours , i thought i was guilty . and i never felt so sick or scared in my entire life . so i can understand how luke feels right now . lucky : yeah , well , he 's feeling what he can , and the rest he denies . carly : i can only imagine that you and your father have a lot of stuff to work out , and the last thing you need in unsolicited advice . so i 'll just say this . luke loves you . i know you love him . and i 'm guessing your father could use you right now . and maybe reaching out to luke will help ease your pain .

[ ethan chuckles ] luke : i was so busy living my charmed life ; believing i was invincible . i did n't notice when death pointed at me . that night , my luck ran out . because death came after me with a joker up his sleeve and a grudge on his shoulder . and he took a life infinitely more precious than mine . ethan : you have to give yourself a break , mate . no one could have seen jake that night . luke : yeah , but this was me , luke spencer , cheater of death . beater of odds . so weird , it 's so ordinary , this accident . it could have happened to anybody . but that 's what it 's about . luck telling me , `` i 'm not with you anymore . `` [ sighs ] yeah , my luck ran out and a 4-year - old kid died because of it .

[ scene_break ] jake : okay , i get it . i can take a hint . [ sighs ] carlos : i do n't like that guy . julian : well , he 's the least of your concerns .

[ scene_break ] sam : i could tell right away that jake was an experienced rider . patrick : okay . not helping . sam : are you kidding me ? ! stop it . this is coming from the guy who used to race stock cars ? if there was one sitting in a garage , you would find any excuse to drive it , right ? patrick : yes , i would . sam : okay . well , that 's exactly what happened . i was in a garage , there was a bike , and i got to ride it , and it was fun ! patrick : okay . i get it , adventure girl . sam : adventure buddy . we 're a team , remember ? patrick : yeah , we are . which is why i do n't want anything to happen to you . sam : okay . look ... not a scratch . i 'm in one piece . patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : i 'm here . for you . i 'm ready to move in . patrick : yeah , you are . [ scene_break ] julian : so , you went behind my back ? carlos : i saw an opportunity to strike , and i took it . come on . did n't you tell me you wanted me to be more proactive ? julian : hijacking shipments is only gon na alert the corinthos family that we are up to something , and i do not want them to find out that we are planning a hit on one of their key people until it is done . [ scene_break ] luke : and whenever i made alliances with people like jerry jacks and julian jerome , i always told them that there was this ... guy in port charles who looked just like me . and then i 'd take all that darkness and stuff it so deeply inside that it became a different identity . i told myself that it would never touch my life here . lulu : that 's why you were always disappearing when i was growing up . you were n't being neglectful . you did n't want us to see that side of you . luke : sweetheart , i just did n't want any of that to touch my family . tracy : but something happened last year to make that part of you take over . [ scene_break ] valerie : [ voice breaking ] my mom was all i had . my parents broke up before i was even born . as far back as i can remember , it 's always been me and my mom . first , she took care of me . then , when she got sick , i took care of her . i did n't want her to go to oak hill . she insisted . she said it was time , that i could love and support her and still have my own life . dante : sounds like your mother loved you a lot . valerie : she wanted the best for me . but i did n't do the best for her . dante : hey , no , no , no , no . you said she was the one who decided -- valerie : i left my mom , my brave , beautiful , helpless mom vulnerable to her crazy brother . and now she 's gone . and i do n't know what i 'm gon na do without her .

[ scene_break ] lulu : things changed when you were in that psych ward . after you found carly on the quartermaine boathouse and heather 's orderlies locked you up , you were drugged and electroshocked . luke : yeah , i think heather did that to make me docile , but it had the opposite effect . it brought back all those childhood memories , but i could n't handle all that darkness . so i stuffed the real me in some prison in my mind and gave in to the brutality . and i turned into that son of a bitch ... tim spencer . tim : hey , son . take a look at this . tracy : luke ? luke : [ sighs ] now the wall 's broken . what if that part of me wo n't go away ? what if it 's -- what if it 's gon na be with me always ? what if i ca n't put that monster back in the cage ?

[ scene_break ] nikolas : of course , helena put you up to this . here i thought confining her to an island might slow her down . and evidently i was n't naive enough to believe that i truly stopped her . i - i 'm just curious . how did she even contact you ? hayden : oh , you know her .

[ sighs ] as if the situation were n't complicated enough , right ? hayden : i just cash the checks . nikolas : right . well , i 'm sure she told you how important it is that jake not remember who he really is . hayden : obviously . nikolas : then you must understand that this needs to stop . i was handling this . you coming here only aroused the suspicion of the people close to him . jake 's history was a closed issue before you showed up on elizabeth 's doorstep . what did you think would happen when someone starts to dig a little deeper into this , trying to confirm your story ? hayden : hey , this is between you and your grandmother . nikolas : yeah , well , i 'm calling her and ending your charade as jake 's wife . i 'm sure she 'll take care of you financially , but you 've got to go . hayden : okay , i 'm gon na stop you right there before this goes any further . i have no idea who the hell you 're talking about . it 's called bluffing , and it worked .

[ scene_break ] nelle : jax asked me to meet him here . part of me wishes i had just turned him down . michael : what 'd he say ? nelle : told me he was the one that bought my kidney and not carly . michael : yeah . my , uh , mom just told me the same thing . [ sighs ] nelle : my father was never the perfect man , but when he told me that i needed to donate my kidney and that your mother 's money would help us out of the current situation we were in , knowing he needed me , it -- it made me feel proud . i do n't know . in some weird way , it made me feel closer to him . it made me feel ... michael : like he loved you . nelle : yeah , and then he told me carly cheated us both . michael : and you wanted her to pay . nelle : [ sighs ] i wa -- you know , i felt righteous . i felt i had to avenge all the wrongdoings that carly had done to my family . she did n't do anything . it was my dad that had done everything . and then it was me . [ scene_break ] carly : so , you want to know if i forgive you , after you put all of this in motion . jax : i was desperate . joss -- joss 's life was at stake . and i had no idea that frank was gon na use his own daughter . carly : well , if he had n't , he would 've used somebody else . i have no right to unload on you , because the truth is , no matter what you did , i 'm grateful . our daughter 's alive . and she gets up and she goes to school every morning , and she plays soccer , and she 's -- goes horseback riding . she makes me take her and her friends to concerts . and they sit in the back seat , and they scream , and they sing songs . and i have to live with myself knowing that i benefit from nelle 's pain , so ... jax : i know how horrible all of this is , but ... i - i 've lost so much already . i - i ... i do n't want to lose you too . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know , last fall , after morgan had died , carly came by to -- just looking for morgan 's pills . there was a bottle missing , a prescription for lithium . dante : that 's the prescription on the bottle we found . sonny : we could not figure out where they had gone . maybe now we know why the pills stopped working . valerie : forensics just dropped off these results . dante : thanks , valerie . valerie : mm - hmm . dante : let 's head in here , man . ava : i got to get out of here . valerie : thanks . ms. jerome . i 'm glad you decided to come in . i 've got that property for you to id . ava : oh , uh , thank you so much , but i just remembered that i have an appointment , so i - i - i ca n't stay . valerie : this wo n't take long . ava : i appreciate that , but you know , um , time is of the essence . valerie : ms. jerome . is there a reason you 're in such a hurry to get out of here ? dante : i asked for a complete analysis on the bottle -- prints , dna . had forensics do a full wipe down . sonny : they get a match ? do they know who had your brother 's pills ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you made the right decision . jake needs to talk to his therapist . if he has you to talk to , he will never open up to andré . franco : well , what if he does n't want to talk to andré ? elizabeth : then , we will cross that bridge when we come to it . but for now , this is how we have to do things . please . franco : you 're the best mother on the planet , so i defer to you . [ scene_break ] tracy : this painting is the last connection i have to my father . and unfortunately , there is nothing you can say that would get me to part with it . abbot : i would be remiss if i did n't try . the money from the sale will allow us to keep our doors open to provide the kind of humanitarian aid this region so desperately needs -- shelters , soup kitchens , medical assistance . this kind of service is vital . tracy : i have great respect for the work you and your brothers are doing , which is why i would like to help . there you go . abbot : thank you . you are very generous . laura : tracy , it 's a lovely painting , but it 's hardly your last connection to your father . tracy : excuse me ? laura : you have your letter . you have that beautiful letter that your father wrote you , talking about how -- how much he loves you and what you meant to him . you carry that knowledge with you in your heart for the rest of your life . tracy : thank you very much for that , but my heart would prefer a tangible reminder . laura : you know , these monks provided your father with a refuge when he needed one . and i ca n't help but feel that if edward were here right now and he knew the circumstances , he would want to leave that painting here . tracy : i 'm sorry . i -- i know that you cared for this painting for a very long time and that it 's valuable to you , but to me , it 's priceless . abbot : then we shall respect your decision . come . let me show you to the consulate . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm sorry . i ca n't tell you who had morgan 's bottle . we got no clear prints . the dna was contaminated . the bottle changed hands too many times . sonny : so , it 's another dead end ? ava : i 'm sorry . i just do n't have the -- the time to identify my stolen items today . oh . well , that 's mine . right there . that -- the bracelet with charms , you see ? valerie : uh , yeah , i 'm afraid you ca n't take any of your property home now . you have to fill out a slip to claim it once it 's no longer evidence . i 'll grab the form . it 'll only take a minute . [ scene_break ] franco : you got three boys . and you got all these years ahead of you , watching them grow up . and i want to be with you for that , too . elizabeth : and you can be . you can . franco : yeah , but jason , you know . he does n't want me anywhere around jake . and i know that you say that that 's just temporary , but how can we be sure ? elizabeth : jason will back off , because it 's what 's best for jake . franco : who 's gon na convince him of that ? elizabeth : dr. maddox . franco : oh , stop . [ scoffs ] elizabeth : okay , he pointed out that part of the reason jake is closing off is because he senses the tension between jason and me . and then , once things settle down between the two of us , jake will be ready to open up . franco : and this translates as i still need to give jake some space . elizabeth : for now . but in case i did n't make myself perfectly clear , i am totally in love with you , and i have no intention whatsoever of cutting you out of my life . [ scene_break ] nelle : jax paid my dad enough money for him to provide for my family for years . so after my operation , my dad disappeared for a few weeks . when he came back , he told me that carly had cheated him and that she never paid up . that 's when i found this . michael : what 's that ? a poker chip ? nelle : mm - hmm . it 's from a casino in florida . he would go there sometimes when he had a little bit of extra money and try and turn it into a little bit more . when i found the chip , i knew that he was n't happy with whatever he had been paid for my kidney . he played the odds . and he came back with nothing . michael : and you could n't let yourself go on thinking that . nelle : no . i did n't want to believe that -- that my father could be that -- that -- that stupid or that selfish . so i convinced myself that he was just trying to earn something , you know , anything to make up for what carly had cheated him out of . he did n't want to come home empty - handed , because of everything that he had put me through . so , i pushed it out of my brain . i never thought about it again . michael : but you kept the chip . nelle : i told myself it was to remind me of everything carly had done to us . but now i see it 's just a reminder of everything th - th - that i 've sacrificed . i mean , i literally gave up a part of myself , and then , what ? this is all i have to show for it ? you know , this is -- this is why i have been angry all of these years , why -- why i -- why i 've been stuck in the past , and i have n't been able to live my own life . [ sighs ] this -- this ... [ splash ] nelle : [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm sorry . that was n't fair . carly : jax , it 's okay , you know ? you 're going through a lot . you 're still processing . jax : no , i -- i should n't put that on you . carly : hey . what 's going on ? you 're having a hard time . jax : besides , i should n't be worried about me , anyway . carly : i know you 're worried about josslyn . jax : yeah . she was so upset when i told her about lady jane . if she finds out about what happened to nelle -- what happened to nelle because of me -- carly : okay . jax : ... then ... look . i know i have no right to ask , but is there any way that we can just put it off ? carly : oh , come on . i 'm the queen of screw - ups . and you have given me the benefit of the doubt more than once . jax : well , i do n't deserve it . carly : our daughter does . and we 'll figure out how and when we tell josslyn . but right now , she just needs time to grieve . she deserves that . and so do you . jax : i -- i do n't deserve it . [ sighs ] i 'm the reason my mother 's dead . [ scene_break ] franco : i 'm so glad i did n't slam the door on your face . elizabeth : well , i would 've understood . interrupting the muse is never a good idea . but you can make it up to me . franco : oh ? elizabeth : by giving me a little peek . franco : no , no , no , no . that 's not a good idea . the muse did n't come by -- oh , my god . elizabeth : [ gasps ] franco : it 's terrible . elizabeth : it 's powerful . and so -- okay , so , this is you . turn around . you . and who 's going there ? franco : um ... who do you think ? okay . [ clears throat ] this is the idea . i see you draped in colorful patterns to contrast the monochromatic themes on the other side . elizabeth : you want to drape me ? franco : yes , i want you draped . it works best over bare shoulders . elizabeth : just my shoulders ? franco : whatever you 're comfortable with . elizabeth : i 'll see what i can do . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , that 's it ? dante : yep . sonny : damn . dante : unless one of the robbers wants to plead out before trial and give something up . sonny : think it 'll happen ? dante : i would n't bet on it . the gentry brothers seem pretty dumb and do n't seem to understand the concept , or the benefit , of a plea deal . and their public defender does n't seem experienced enough to explain it to them . sonny : well , you know what ? thanks for being honest with me and having me come down here . dante : yeah . of course . i just wish this would 've actually panned out for once . sonny : you think i could take this with me ? carly went through so much trying to track it down . it 'd be nice to bring it to her , you know , maybe have some kind of closure . dante : i 'm sorry . you ca n't . we need to hang onto that for the trial . sonny : yeah , i understand . dante : but hey , we got a , uh , solid case , you know . due process should n't take too long . and i will do whatever i can to speed up the process . sonny : appreciate that . dante : all right . sonny : come here . [ scene_break ] nelle : you know , my father made me believe that he was the only one that cared about me . everyone else was just out to use me . and i needed to hurt them before they could hurt me . michael : nelle ... [ sighs ] look , i know what it 's like to be disappointed by people who were supposed to care about you , but that does not give you permission to hurt everyone else . nelle : he twisted it around . he made me think that i needed revenge . michael : did you ever [ scoffs ] consider other options ? nelle : what ? like what ? michael : like maybe -- maybe making peace with my mother ? i mean , come on , nelle . she -- she took you in , she treated you like part of the family . you had to have realized that she was n't this -- this selfish user that frank made her out to be . nelle : i thought she was just guilty and just trying to ease her conscience . michael : what , because no one could be that genuinely caring , right ? nelle : no , not to me ! i saw people the way my father wanted me to see them , the way that he was -- nothing but grifters and cheats . i was taught that i needed to expect the worst in people . [ sighs ] and i carried my hatred around for your mother like a weapon . michael : well , you do n't need that weapon anymore . nelle : do n't you get it , michael ? hatred -- that 's all i 've ever known . i mean , i do n't even know who i am without it . i mean , this is crazy . n - nothing -- nothing -- nothing even feels real anymore . nothing ... i mean , nothing except ... michael : except what ? nelle : except how i feel about you . [ scene_break ] carly : jax , you are not responsible for your mother 's death . she was sick . jax : she was getting better until i told her about nelle . after morgan 's funeral , i -- i saw that you were getting close with nelle , so ... i do n't know . i just -- i had to tell someone about what i did . so i confessed to my mother . [ sighs ] carly : well , i 'm sure she forgave you . she had to understand you were just trying to save josslyn . jax : yeah , yeah , yeah -- yeah , she forgave me . [ exhales sharply ] but i broke her heart . you can imagine how devastated she was by what jerry turned into . i mean ... carly : w -- well -- jax : ... she blamed herself . she questioned what she did wrong as a mother . and i was her consolation , you know ? i was proof of everything that she did right . so when i told her that i was just as bad as my brother -- carly : oh , you are not anything like your brother , jax ! jax : i -- i - i might not be , but i 'm not the man she raised me to be , either . so if i 'm completely honest , i 'm just as responsible for my mother 's death as her illness . [ scene_break ] michael : nelle , whatever you feel for me , i - i just ca n't go there . nelle : i 'm sorry . i sh -- i should n't have said anything . michael : when you went after my -- my mother , you did n't just hurt her , you hurt my entire family . i -- i still do n't get how you could do that , how -- how you can pretend to care about us , pretend to be a friend . nelle : i was your friend , michael . michael : no , none of that was real . nelle : yeah , it was for one night when we were in the cabin . [ exhales sharply ] yeah , we were snowed in , but we just -- we made it work . michael : i remember you were trying to tell me something that night . you could n't get the words out . you kept talking around it , saying that you did n't deserve to be happy . nelle : but you told me that i did -- that whatever i had done wrong in the past , i could choose a new path . do you know how much that meant to me ? for the first time in my life , i had hope . you know , i -- i think about that night , how i could have had somebody as great as you if we had just met before i decided to go down this road . michael : yeah , well , it 's , uh -- it 's too late . you did what you did , and there 's no way to take it back . nelle : you know , actually , michael , i think -- i think that maybe there is .

's murder , then i 'll have no choice but to charge courtney . courtney : huh . wow . well , rachel was right about one thing . this is the perfect crime . because if we ca n't find a connection between rachel and a.j . -- some kind of motive she would have had to kill him , i do n't stand a chance . skye : courtney , believe me , i know how you feel . i went to prison for a crime i did n't commit , but i had someone to fight for me . and you have jax . could n't ask for a better person to be on your side , okay ? well , i 'll let you two figure it out . if you need any help , just let me know , okay ? jax : okay . thanks . courtney : it makes me furious to know that a.j . said those things to skye . he never really loved me . jax : well , his loss . courtney : this -- jax , this -- this is just his revenge , because i had the nerve to fall in love with his brother . god , a.j . 's probably doing a little happy dance in hell knowing that i am left with nothing but his alleged blood on my hands . sorry . i mean , i have you , jax , but for how long ? you know ? i mean , i keep -- i keep trying to see what 's coming . and all -- all that 's there is this big black hole . this whole thing has been set up so perfectly , there 's no way out . jax : you know , there 's no such thing as the perfect setup . now , a.j . and rachel -- they may have had an affair . and i believe that 's the key to everything . but the more i think about this , the more i know that it does n't make sense . courtney : what ? jax : a.j .

[ scene_break ] jason : so kiefer was the one who had been beating kristina , not ethan . and he did it again last night . when alexis brought kristina to the hospital , she finally id 'd kiefer . spinelli : why would kristina lie ? jason : to protect kiefer . i mean , she did n't want sonny to kill him . spinelli : i guess that 's understandable , that fear of mr. sir , but why not share that same concern for ethan 's life and limb ? jason : well , because i think sonny and luke are long - time friends . and i bet kristina thought that would be enough for sonny not to kill ethan . spinelli : now the battering boyfriend is dead . jason : kiefer was found on the side of the road less than an hour after kristina admitted the truth . spinelli : so then her fears were warranted ? vengeance was exacted on mr. sir 's orders perhaps with stone cold behind the wheel . jason : no , i did n't do anything and neither did sonny . but alexis is the only person who is not suspecting me of running kiefer down . spinelli : and that 's unusual . usually alexis is first in line to suspect you of mayhem . jason : exactly . that 's why i want you to start investigating alexis davis as soon as we get home . [ scene_break ] alexis : i came home and i heard yelling in the house . and then i saw kiefer running out . and then i walked in and i saw that kristina was crumpled in a ball on the floor and she was bruised and bleeding . and i knew in that instant that it was kiefer who had done this to her . it was this boy that i encouraged to go out with her ... that had beat her to a pulp . diane : all right . enough with the mea culpa . you feel like crap because kiefer fooled all of us . shame on us . but it still does n't explain how he ended up dead . alexis : i got her in the car . i did n't want to wait for an ambulance . i got her in the car and i kept talking to her because i did n't want her to go to sleep . and i just felt like i was going to lose it . and i was trying to get control of myself . and i looked up and i saw him . at least i thought it was him . and i hit him . i did n't stop . i did n't swerve . i did n't put on the brake . i just kept going . i drove to the hospital . i did n't mean to do it . i do n't know what happened . i did n't mean to do it .

olivia : honest to a fault , yes . claire : so you would assume he would tell the truth on the stand here ? diane : objection . leading . judge carroll : sustained . strike from the record . claire : can you tell the court who your son 's father is ? olivia : that man . sonny corinthos . claire : so when you told the court that mr. corinthos knocked you up , dante falconeri was the result ? olivia : that is correct . claire : is n't it unusual that an undercover officer would be assigned to investigate his own father ? diane : objection , your honor . as the prosecution has already established while leading detective falconeri through his own testimony , the defendant and the detective did not know they were related at the time . claire : until detective falconeri wound up shot and bleeding -- diane : objection , your honor . judge carroll : sustained . strike from the record . ms. walsh , i do not find your courtroom gymnastics entertaining . ask straightforward questions on matters relevant to the case , or i will dismiss the witness . claire : yes , your honor . ms. falconeri , do you know why your son and the defendant did not know they were related ? olivia : because i chose not to tell them . claire : and why would a loving mother not tell her own son about his father ? olivia : do i really have to answer that question ? i was 15 years old , and i was stupid . that 's like asking me why i wore scrunchies and acid wash jeans . it just felt like the thing to do at the time . judge carroll : i agree with ms. falconeri . last chance , ms. walsh . ask something useful or dismiss the witness . claire : ms. falconeri , do you know where michael corinthos iii was on the night claudia zacchara corinthos was murdered ? olivia : i was with mr. corinthos at his house that night . sonny was beside himself with worry because claudia kidnapped carly and she had gone into labor . jax arrived later that night looking for michael . claire : so michael left his house on harbor view road where he resided with his mother and jasper jax ? olivia : that 's why jax was looking for him , yes . claire : and what happened after mr. jax arrived ? olivia : sonny received a call from sam -- samantha mccall . she said that carly had given birth , that carly and the baby were okay , and sonny left shortly after that . claire : and where did he go ? olivia : i did n't ask . he did n't tell . claire : can you describe the defendant 's demeanor after he received the phone call ? olivia : he seemed relieved that carly and the baby were okay . claire : he did n't seem angry or upset ? diane : objection . calls for speculation . judge carroll : sustained . claire : after sonny left his residence , there was still no sign of michael ? olivia : no . claire : was n't anyone worried about him ? olivia : well , i think everyone 's primary concern was for carly and the baby . i do n't think michael was the main focus . claire : and why do you say that ? olivia : well , michael was upset about a fight that took place earlier in the evening between sonny and jax . claire : and what had they fought about ? olivia : sonny came over to the jax household to pick up michael and morgan . jax wanted the boys to stay with him . claire : and was this upsetting for michael ? could this have been the reason why he was incited to climb in the car -- diane : objection . your honor , once again , the prosecution is testifying for her own witness . judge carroll : sustained . ms. walsh , i sense you preparing for another tumbling run . i suggest you reconsider . claire : ms. falconeri , after mr. corinthos left his home after receiving the phone call , presumably to be notified that carly and her child were safe , no one knew where michael was , is that correct ? olivia : as far as i know , yes . claire : thank you , ms. falconeri . no further questions . diane : would it be safe to say that michael 's behavior has been erratic ever since he emerged from his coma a year ago ? olivia : yes . diane : have you ever known michael to disappear before ? olivia : yes . diane : can you elaborate ? olivia : well , he disappeared to mexico last summer . and on one more than one occasion , i know that he 's left his mother 's house to go over to his father 's house without permission . michael 's a good kid , but he 's very willful , he does n't like to be told what to do . diane : okay , so let 's clarify . there have been other occasions where michael has disappeared before the night that claudia was killed ? olivia : absolutely . diane : there have been other incidences where no one knew where michael was for hours , sometimes days at a time ? olivia : yes . diane : thank you . no further questions . i reserve the right to recall this witness . judge carroll : you may step down , ms. falconeri .

[ applause ] patrick : thanks . thank you . thank you . appreciate it . ellie : so i do n't need to alert security . max : richard simmons and his boom box have left the building . anton 's bringing him down to the station . ellie : great . i 'll go report the good news , then . oh , by the way , loved your number . it was , uh -- hmm . it was very athletic . milo : thank you . it 's really all about the core . max : `` eh , it 's all about the core . `` would you shut up ? show some respect -- spinelli 's girl . milo : right . so sorry . ellie : it 's fine . i 'll see you guys inside . okay . maxie , are you okay ? maxie : i 'm -- oh , i 'm fine . it 's the hormones . just get back in there and enjoy the show . ellie : hey , i do n't want to overstep , but this looks like more than hormones . maxie : [ sniffles ] my dad just left , okay ? that 's normal for him . ellie : i 'm so sorry . maxie : i should be used to it by now , but , um ... for some reason , it 's hitting me really hard this time . ellie : maybe it 's because something else is on your mind . i mean , if there 's anything you want to talk to me about ... maxie : like what ? ellie : like the baby you 're carrying . patrick : the nurses ' ball was first hosted in port charles in 1994 . since then , hiv and aids has become more treatable and more manageable thanks to medical advancements , which is wonderful . but it 's also misleading . a lot of people believe that our goal has been reached , our mission accomplished , but 1.2 million people are living with hiv / aids in this country alone . 17,000 people perish annually . globally , there are 34 million people living with the virus , and 1.8 million deaths a year . clearly , there is a lot of work to be done . and no one knew that better than my late wife , dr. robin scorpio drake . [ applause ] patrick : thank you . um ... for those of you that did n't know , robin became hiv- positive when she was just a kid in a much scarier time , when we did n't know as much about the disease , and because of that , prejudices were rampant . but instead of succumbing to those prejudices , the city of port charles , they supported robin , and they loved robin . and the staff at general hospital became her second family , and this ball became a tradition , its purposes , rededicated and reaffirmed here tonight . so , um ... come here , little one . you were fantastic , by the way . emma : thank you . [ laughter ] patrick : my little pop - star daughter here and i are forever grateful for the love that you showed robin and for the love that you continue to show to a cause that -- that robin believed in with all her heart . she had a , uh -- a wonderful life . she , um ... she was dedicated to healing and to finding a cure , and although she was taken from us before that day was reached , her -- her legacy will live on in organizations like amfar , the community of port charles , and the staff at general hospital . so , thank you , from the bottom of my heart . each and every one of you have made a significant contribution to helping robin 's dream become a reality . thanks . [ applause ] patrick : thank you very much . emma : thank you . patrick : good job . what are you doing here ? britt : i was just so moved by that lovely tribute , i thought i 'd add a few words of my own . dr. obrecht : i wish you could be here for our daughter 's moment in the spotlight . britta would make you a very proud papa . [ audience murmuring ] patrick : please do n't make a scene , britt . this is about robin tonight . britt : i understand . patrick : no , i do n't think you do . nobody cares what you have -- britt : i think everyone will be very interested . especially you , patrick . | emma asks sabrina if she can be her daddy 's girlfriend . watching the nurses ' ball on television , britt gets angry when she sees sabrina sitting with patrick and emma like she is part of their family . her mother , dr. obrecht , says all they need to do is remind patrick what his real family looks like . britt wants to call the whole thing off . dr. obrecht refuses . britt complies and puts on a dress to wear to the ball . at the nurses ' ball , frisco jones publicly proposes to felicia on the microphone . she says she 'll always him , but man is the man she wants to be with . maxie runs after her father when he leaves . he says coming to port charles was a mistake , and that he is leaving because there is nothing left to keep her there . maxie asks what about her ? she reminds him that he said he came to port charles to support her through her pregnancy . privately , felicia asks mac to marry her . he accepts . |
franco : carly , if you get this message and you do n't respond , you 'll leave me no choice but to assume that heather has escaped and has kidnapped you again , and now i 'm gon na have to rescue you all over again . probably get shot in the process . there you are . where the hell have you been ? carly : oh , god . why ? franco : i have been slaving over a hot stove all day ! carly : you were cooking ? franco : no , well , i mean , i had to order you all of your favorites from room service , and now they 're cold , and it 's totally ruined , and it 's kind of fossilized . and where the hell have you been ? [ scene_break ] anna : dante just got a big break in the case . olivia : are you serious ? you mean he knows where ben is ? anna : i certainly hope so . all i can say is that he 's following up on a strong lead . olivia : oh , god . thank god . this is , like , the answer to all my prayers . anna : sit tight . i 'll let you know as soon as i get any news . olivia : oh , thank you , anna . thank you . thank you so much . oh , my god . did you hear that , sonny ? it 's just like i said it was gon na happen . dante is bringing home our grandson . lulu : i 'm supposed to just sit here freaking out while that psycho obrecht has ben ? what kind of spencer am i ? screw it . i 'm going to get my son . anna : lulu , where are you going ? [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : auf wiedersehen , elizabeth . [ knock on door ] britt : mother , it 's me . open up . i 'm here for ben . nikolas : you see ? she 's here , just like you said she would be . shooting elizabeth now would only jeopardize her escape with ben , and -- and , you know , the sound of a gunshot would only attract more attention . britt : mother , i want my baby ! [ scene_break ] nathan : just give me a straight answer ! make me understand ! what was so -- so awful about her you felt you had no choice but to get rid of her ? ! madeline : i was n't trying to get rid of nina ! i was trying to get rid of her baby . [ sniffles ] silas : what did you just say ? madeline : stay out of this . i 'm talking to my son . nathan : so , talk to me . what did you mean ? did -- did you mean nina was pregnant ? nathan : answer me . w - was nina pregnant ? madeline : yes . silas : she 's lying again . she was my wife . i would have known if she was pregnant . madeline : no , you would n't have . you were too busy shacking up with ava to notice . but she was definitely carrying your baby when you and ava were slumming around the east village , going in all those seedy , little clubs -- and sometimes the cub room in the village . silas : get to the point . madeline : i had you followed . i had graphic photos taken , and i showed them to nina . nathan : you -- you showed pictures of her husband with another woman ? wh -- why ? madeline : i did her the supreme favor of proving to her that her husband was a worthless rat . when she was confronted with the evidence , she told me she was pregnant . sam : why did n't you tell silas ? madeline : she was going to . that 's why i had to act quickly . i had to be sure that this child of silas disappeared . nathan : but why ? mother , why ? why did you have to kill nina 's baby ? silas : it was about the money , was n't it ? it was all about the money . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm sorry . i was with michael , you know ? i was . i was trying to help him deal with aj 's death , you know ? he is trying so hard to keep it together . he is . he 's trying to be strong for his grandmother , because monica 's a mess . and of course , she 's a mess . i mean , she 's in no condition to be making decisions , so i sat there , and i was trying to help michael make the arrangements for the funeral . and it 's ... it 's awful , you know ? it 's just awful . and i would give anything to take his pain away , but i ca n't , so i do n't know what else to do except be there . franco : i think it 's great that you were there . carly : yeah . franco : i just do n't understand why you could n't call me or text me or send me an e - mail while you were busy being there . carly : i 'm sorry . my phone was dead , and i was just so focused on michael . franco : carly , really ? because it seems to me that you 're just avoiding me . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , i ordered up all these ribs and all the trimmings , and it was just to keep morale up , you know , to keep everyone going , just , like , a gesture , you know , like , something to do . but now it seems like maybe it 's gon na be a celebration for ben coming home . i swear , this is just exactly what i 've been praying for . sonny : that 's great . olivia : sonny , this is the first optimistic news we 've had since obrecht stole our grandson . sonny : i know . it 's great . olivia : so -- so why do you look so sad ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i 'm going to elizabeth 's . i have to . obrecht is there with my baby ! anna : dante is there , along with several members of this force . lulu : yeah , but i should be there . anna : dante asked me to make sure that you do n't approach the house . lulu : i just want to get close ! anna : it 's too dangerous , lulu . you will split his focus . he needs to concentrate on getting the baby away from obrecht safe and sound , all right ? lulu : but my son needs me right now . anna : i know . i 'm asking you to do the impossible . stay away from your baby when he 's in danger . i know it 's hard . i ca n't let you go . lulu : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] britt : what is going on in there ? do you think she suspects something ? dante : it 's okay , britt . you 're doing fine . dr. obrecht : fine . i will not shoot you , for my daughter 's sake . go get the baby . nurse webber ? no funny business , or the prince dies . nikolas : it 's okay . go ahead . dr. obrecht : open the door . go on . go . britt : what are you doing here ? nikolas : see for yourself . britt : mother ! why are you holding a gun at nikolas ? what the hell is going on ? ! dr. obrecht : go . dante : okay . she 's armed . sounds like there 's at least one other hostage including elizabeth webber . dr. obrecht : this is not a conversation we should be having where the neighbors can witness . britt : i 'm sorry . i just did n't expect to find you holding nikolas hostage . dr. obrecht : i had no choice . your prince showed up with his suspicions and questions . and that dummkopf nurse webber could n't get him to go away . britt : god , put the gun down . please do not hurt him . nikolas , i am so sorry you are stuck in the middle of this -- nikolas : save your apologies , okay ? i 've long since stopped believing them . dr. obrecht : never mind him . were you followed ? are the police on to me ? britt : no . of course not . i mean , the lawyer you hired made certain that the cops could n't put any surveillance on me since it turns out i have n't committed a crime . nikolas : which is absurd . dr. obrecht : on the contrary . an embryo is n't a person . it has no monetary value . so how can my britta be guilty of anything ? britt : [ sighs ] dr. obrecht : are you sure there 's been no surveillance ? britt : of course . do you think i would do anything to jeopardize seeing ben ? where is he ? what -- what have you done with him ? dr. obrecht : calm yourself , kind . everything is fine . your nemesis , nurse webber , is retrieving him . you 'll see him momentarily . britt : [ sighs ] thank god . nikolas : you 're seriously gon na steal dante and lulu 's baby again ? [ scene_break ] olivia : sonny , what 's wrong ? sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i would choose you over and over again . you know that ? i would . you and michael , you 've been through so much , and ... he 's never lost faith in you . sonny : i need that . carly : he needs that . and he needs you . and aj does n't get to tear it apart , okay ? so , look at me . [ sighs ] we take this to our grave . olivia : i mean , you think i 'm being too pollyannaish about this whole thing ? i mean , anna just did say that there was a break in the case . it did n't actually mean that they necessarily found ben . but i just -- i got such a good feeling about this right now . i think it 's gon na work out . sonny : i 'll believe it when i see it . i just -- there 's no guarantees . olivia : could you at least be a little bit optimistic about this ? i know it 's frustrating that you got your guys out there looking for the baby and they have n't found him yet , and i -- and i know that it 's not fair that dante and lulu and the baby have been separated -- sonny : i was n't talking about -- i was n't talking about the baby . [ scene_break ] carly : you know what 's going on . you should n't have been upset . franco : hey , not too long ago , you pressed an elevator button , said you would be right back , and then i did n't hear from you for hours , for days , for weeks . i thought you were dead . carly : okay , i 'm sorry i did n't call , but i thought you knew i needed to be with michael . franco : i get that . i 'm sure he needs your support right now . losing a father , it must be horrible . but i still feel like you 're avoiding the real issue between us . carly : what 's the real issue between us ? franco : whatever it is that you and sonny are hiding . [ scene_break ] silas : the reeves money . [ scoffs ] it was all to be left to nina . it was in nina 's name . but in your paranoid , little mind , you could n't stand the thought of her sharing with anybody . you tried to get her to leave me . then there was a baby . madeline : and nina really believed that once you knew , you 'd stop seeing ava and miraculously you would be a wonderful father and loving husband . silas : we would have been happy . we would have been . but you could n't stand that . you 'd never stand to see your daughter happy , not with me ! madeline : nina was never happy with you ! silas : she was never happier ! but that never stopped you from trying to destroy our marriage ! madeline : your affair with ava jerome did that much more effectively than i ever could . silas : that was for me and nina to decide . madeline : in other words , you were sure you could convince her to stay . [ sighs ] sad thing is , it 's probably true .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i was just explaining to stone cold how it would be better in the long run for him to claim his baby with elizabeth now before it comes out in some other way -- you know , like we talked about ? lulu : no , no , no , he ca n't . i -- i know that i am flip - flopping all over the place and i realize that we 're talking about your child , and in a perfect world you should be able to claim your child , but the world is not perfect . it 's filled with hidden traps that blow up in your face and ruin your life , and i ca n't let that happen to my brother . i know that i 'm asking a lot , and i -- i know that this is not fair , but , please , jason , you can not take this baby away from lucky . he might never recover . [ scene_break ] amelia : well , now that that 's settled , let 's pick out the face that you want to present to the world . sam : okay . amelia : oh -- uh -- one more thing that could pose a potential problem . you 're not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon , are you ? [ scene_break ] ric : i realize that i have been dropped from your primary calling circle and that 's fine with me . i just think -- [ alexis coughs ] ric : there 's got to be someone , somebody you can count on besides some random stranger who stumbles on you while you 're passed out in the woods . alexis : well , maybe that 's because the two people that i decided to count on decided to have sex together on my living room floor . and if that were n't bad enough , you stole my job , and then you stole my baby , while i 'm fighting for my life against cancer . so i want you to tell me again why you find it hard to comprehend why i 'm having trouble leaning on anyone .

[ scene_break ] carly : michael , i 'm not kidding . you have to the count of five to open this door . michael : no . carly : the sooner you open this door , the easier it 's going to be on you . sonny : listen to your mother . no one 's amused here , michael . michael : you should be together , not getting a divorce . so , you 're going to get a time - out to think about what you 've done . [ scene_break ] sam : before i answer your question , i have one of my own . why would me getting pregnant present a problem ? amelia : well , do n't get me wrong , i have nothing against motherhood if that 's the path a woman chooses . but you 're not just any woman . i mean , you are the host of `` everyday heroes . `` you 're not going to be just sitting on a couch interviewing guests . this show is going to present one demanding physical challenge after another -- scaling walls , jumping from heights , fighting off attackers . all that activity could jeopardize an unborn child . look , we both know the parameters . i can not just come right out and ask you to put family plans on hold . sam : i ca n't have kids , so you can relax , all right ? your precious show is in no danger from me and jason . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , jason , i -- i feel terrible basically begging you to give up that child , but if -- if that baby is born , you know , in this family , it will get all the love and support that it could ever need . i -- i know , i know -- us spencers are really weird , but we learned how to love from my mother -- with passion and loyalty . spinelli : uh -- i have to speak up for the other side here . look -- look , all you have to do is -- is look at stone cold to see how this is tearing him up inside . i mean , look at him -- he looks -- he looks awful . he 's pale and drawn . i mean , he 's taking his motorcycle out and -- and wiping out in the middle of the night . look , i think what you 're missing in -- in your admirable concern for lucky is that stone cold is a unique individual , okay ? he internalizes his pain , and it comes out as a disregard for his own safety , okay ? so keeping this secret ca n't be so important that you could risk stone cold 's health -- i mean , his -- his leg , and , god forbid , his -- lulu : all right , shut up , spinelli ! you are a melodramatic geek who does n't know the first thing about real life outside of cyberspace ! jason : i -- i appreciate your analysis of my character . it shows to me , spinelli , that you listen to me , okay ? thank you for that . let me talk to her alone now , please . spinelli : yeah . consider the interloper banished . lulu : i ca n't believe i just said that . [ lulu groans ] jason : well , the situation is rough on everybody who knows and cares about it , and it looks like spinelli cares . lulu : oh , but i would just rather this weigh down on me for the rest of my life than have my brother find out the truth and have it destroy him . i hate to admit it , but elizabeth is right . if that baby is taken away from lucky -- i do n't even want to think about the consequences . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not stressed out , i 'm just overwhelmed . a lot has happened since this baby was conceived , and it was only a few months ago that i thought i 'd be raising these kids on my own . lucky : well , that 's definitely not an option anymore . elizabeth : okay , um , about the name -- i really want this kid to be its own person , and just like i did n't want to place luke and laura 's name on it , i do n't want to place my own preconceived notions on him or her , either , and i was just kind of hoping the baby would come to the world and tell us who it is . lucky : well , i like that . but i am the dad , too , so here 's the plan . if it 's a boy , you get to name it . if it 's a girl , i have the honors . elizabeth : okay , fine . that 's fine . lucky : okay . do you feel like celebrating ? elizabeth : celebrating what ? lucky : you do n't know what today is , now , do you ? elizabeth : uh -- monday ? lucky : well , it 's our one - month anniversary . elizabeth : oh . lucky : considering i almost lost you forever , and we have been together for the past month , i think it 's worth something to celebrate . so how about dinner and a toast to our next month of happiness into the next 30,000 ? elizabeth : 30,000 ? how many years is that ? lucky : not enough . [ scene_break ] carly : did we not just have a discussion about this very thing ? you know i have a date with jax . michael : yeah , but you 're married to dad . sonny : oh , enough , michael . look , i know your heart 's in the right place , but you ca n't go around making up lies , forcing people to do things because you want them to . michael : why not ? you do it all the time . carly : michael , i know you 're unhappy about this divorce , but you do n't get to act out . michael : i do n't care how much trouble i 'm getting in . carly : michael corinthos , you listen to me ! michael : there 's food under the blanket on the shelves . carly : how long does he plan on keeping us here ? michael ? do n't you walk away when i 'm yelling at you ! michael ! now what are we supposed to do ? [ scene_break ] michael : hey , jax . what are you doing here ? jax : well , i 'm here to pick up your mom , but morgan tells me that she 's with your dad . michael : uh -- yeah . dad came by and asked her about , like , a strike or something at the hotel . jax : oh , really ? and -- and your mom just dropped everything because sonny said it was really important and , you know -- well , i wish i could say that i 'm surprised , but -- oh , well . hey , you guys are n't alone , right ? michael : no , leticia 's upstairs . jax : good . okay . see ya . michael : okay . okay , this plan has to work , or -- or else i 'm going to be grounded for life for nothing . [ scene_break ] carly : can you believe the lengths that little monster went to -- the planning , the lies , the manipulation ? sonny : do n't be mad at michael . carly : please tell me you had nothing to do with this ? sonny : i swear to you i had nothing to do with this . but it does n't change the fact that it was all my fault . [ scene_break ] ric : i tried to hold our marriage together , alexis . you shut me out . alexis : that is such crap ! ric : hmm . alexis : you held on because you thought of a way to stick it to your brother by raising his kid . and then you held on because you found a way to use sam and lord it over jason . and then when i kicked you out , you took my job . ric : all right , that 's okay . [ alexis coughs ] ric : guilty as charged on all accounts . but , you know , i 'd like to admit to one other thing , alexis , and that is the worst thing that i could 've done to you was love you . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , you care about elizabeth , right ? jason : of course . lulu : and you want what 's best for her ? because if this truth comes out , elizabeth and the baby will be caught in a scandal . you know how judgmental people in this town can be . they will call her a slut or a liar or even worse . i 'm just -- i 'm telling it like it is . i -- i 've been there myself . people like maxie jones -- who has absolutely no room to talk -- will be the first in line to make elizabeth feel like dirt . the -- the first night that i found out , i hated elizabeth . i was ready to go tell lucky what a two - faced manipulator she was . but i realized that -- that the decision that you and elizabeth made is the right one . lucky is going to love that baby like crazy . and -- and that baby will grow up with a family -- you know , grandma lesley and -- and bobbie and me and my dad . i mean , i know that my dad is n't the greatest selling point . but nikolas will be there to -- to balance him out . and i think there 's another person that will influence the child that you have n't even given thought to . [ scene_break ] sam : anyway , the bottom line is the bullet scarred my uterus . so even if i got pregnant , i would n't be able to hold on to the baby . amelia : oh -- i 'm so sorry . sam : yeah , i know , it sucks . but you know what ? jason and i are -- we 're making the adjustment . amelia : a difficult one , i 'm sure . sam : yeah . very . uh -- well , it was at first . now we are finally settling into the mindset that life with each other is n't so bad after all . amelia : hmm . well , i hope you realize that in spite of everything , you are a very lucky woman -- sam : oh -- amelia : to have a man who loves you however you come . sam : yes , i do realize that , trust me . jason is everything i wanted and so much more . amelia : then i advise you to make every second count . see you . sam : bye . [ scene_break ] carly : how can you have nothing to do with anything , but yet it 's all your fault ? sonny : michael wants what he wants ; he 'll do whatever it takes to get it . does that kind of sound familiar to you ? the boys are starting to accept the fact that we were n't getting back together and that you were going to marry jax , and then i could n't leave it at that , so i tricked you into marrying me . carly : not your finest hour . sonny : no , it 's not . but , you know , michael is a product of us , including all the stunts we pull . so how could we get mad at what we created ? at least we taught michael how to -- how to fight for what he loves . carly : yeah , but he should n't be fighting , because he wants us all under the same roof and that 's not going to happen and you know that . sonny : you think michael 's intelligent and insightful ? carly : of course i think that , sonny . sonny : so maybe he senses something that you and me have overlooked . [ scene_break ] ric : look at your life , alexis . no , really , look at the men who have passed in and out of it . alexis : oh -- ric : you got ned , you got cameron , you 've got me . i mean , everything was fine right when it was acrimonious or when it was tentative , but the minute any of us let our guard down and we said `` i love you , `` bam -- walls went up , doors slammed shut . i mean , i 'm surprised i actually got to marry you -- you left poor ned standing literally at the altar with his mouth hanging open . alexis : you are the last person that should be commenting on my relationship with anyone . ric : the only person that did n't fit that particular pattern with you was sonny , and for one reason only . because why -- he did n't love you . i do n't know , i guess that -- that must 've been the charm to you and why you 've held a torch for him for so long . alexis : i 'm not carrying a torch for him , ric , you are . ric : alexis , it 's why kristina means so much to you -- it 's a piece of sonny that you ca n't have any other way . alexis : i love both of my children regardless of who their fathers are . my god , get yourself a shrink , will you ? ric : no , alexis , but maybe you need to look into one . because , clearly , you seem to think that myself and every other man that you 've had a relationship with is responsible for your reasons why you choose to isolate yourself -- never mind the daddy issues that maybe you want to try to work out for yourself . your own father , alexis , chose to take his bastard child and let it live with her mother . and then when he did finally let you come live with him , he was unattainable , right , he was aloof . he never paid attention to you , really never said `` i love you , `` but that seems to be the kind of man that you deem worthy of your affection . so i guess nice guys really do finish last with you . alexis : your mommy issues trump my daddy issues any day . ric : okay , alexis -- fine . fine , be glib , okay ? pretend that nothing i have said has hit a mark with you . i 'm just glad that kristina ran into some man who was nice enough to help you , instead of kidnap her while you were lying helpless on the ground . alexis : oh -- hey . kristina : do you know where molly 's baby is ? alexis : baby shelby ? i do n't , sweetie , i do n't . kristina : i know where she is . [ scene_break ] lulu : i know that you 've considered sam in all this , but there 's an angle that you -- you probably have n't even looked at . jason : what 's that ? lulu : well , when i was young , it was -- it was hard to miss the animosity that my dad felt for nikolas . my mom embraced him and was happy to have him back , but every time that my dad looked at nikolas , he saw betrayal . and sam loves you , and she will probably stay with you no matter what -- my dad did . but if you bring home a child that sam ca n't have , a child that you made with elizabeth , sam will probably resent that baby and everything that it represents . she will probably look at that child and see the same kind of betrayal that my dad saw with nikolas . jason : it 's -- it 's possible , yeah . lulu : i -- i realize that my point of view is biased , but i do n't want to see my brother get hurt . and i -- i feel for you , too . i -- from experience , i know that it 's really hard to lose a child . jason : you know what ? you do n't have to go there . i made up my mind , i 'm -- i 'm going to stick to it . lulu : thank you . [ scene_break ] jax : have you seen carly ? max : nope . jax : i heard her and sonny were discussing the strike . max : well , last i heard , there was n't going to be one . is there something else ? jax : you 're loyal to carly . i 'd like to assume that means you want to see her happy . max : that 's a fair assumption . where you going with this ? jax : well , who would you rather see carly with -- and take yourself out of the equation -- me or sonny ? max : i 'd stand by whatever choice mrs. c makes . jax : yeah , see , that 's the problem -- carly ca n't seem to make up her mind . maybe it 's time i made it for her . [ scene_break ] carly : michael , come on ! let us out ! sonny : i can not believe he did all this . carly : what ? sonny : there 's wine , corkscrew . there 's napkins with dinosaurs on them , and -- look at this . carly : oh ! sour cream and onion potato chips ! my favorite . oh , no . sonny : can you -- i think he got hungry when he was scheming the whole -- carly : is that peanut butter ? sonny : yes , it is . go ahead , here you go . carly : oh . you know , if i partake , that means that i approve -- he put our family picture on everything . sonny : i 'm sorry . this is just -- you know , i do n't know . why do we -- carly : it 's not your fault . sonny : well , i -- i mean , look , i -- i forced you into marrying me , right ? you told me all along that it 's not fair to the kids and i 'm -- and you 're right . but because i -- i could n't look past what i wanted , which was to be with you -- and i got to be honest with you , i thought it was my last chance to get you back . so , look what i did . it 's not right . carly : you know , if anyone can understand that kind of tunnel vision , it 's me . you got to make things right , sonny . you got to look past what you want and do what 's right for the family . you got to stop contesting the divorce and let me go . sonny : do you have any idea what it does to me ? when i hear you -- you practically beg to get away from me so you can marry another man ? carly : me seeing jax and divorcing you -- they 're two separate things . sonny : you look beautiful . carly : do n't . sonny : what ? carly : no , because flattery gets you everywhere and we 're not going down that road . sonny : i 'm just giving you a compliment . i mean , why -- why do you turn that into a warhead ? carly : because i 've never had more at stake , sonny . one more bad round with you , and it will destroy the person i have worked so hard to be . sonny : i would never tear down the person i love . carly : no , not intentionally , but it happens . and you say it 'll never happen again , i say we do n't have the track record to base that on . sonny : okay , but we have -- we have such a great , great connection . you know -- carly : of course we do . i know we do . we 've been here 10 minutes and i 'm ready to compromise everything to be with you . and i ca n't do that because i will fall back into your world , sonny , and it will be dark and it will be stormy . and something horrible will happen and it will wreck me , and it will wreck the kids , and whether you want to believe it or not , it 's going to wreck you , too .

jason : i think sonny has a real problem on his hands . kate : you want me to commit myself to an insane asylum ? ewen : it 's not quite that gothic . kate : i do n't care what you call it . it 's unthinkable . ewen : the only way to keep connie from harming herself or others is to keep her contained under 24-hour watch -- kate : i 'm not gon na be locked up as a prisoner , doctor . ewen : it 's not prison . it 's -- it 's a hospital , a supportive , structured environment -- kate : i run a fashion magazine . sonny 's trial starts tomorrow . i - i have to be by his side . i ca n't abandon him . ewen : you 're in a crisis , kate , and it 's only gon na get worse . connie will continue to emerge -- kate : what you are suggesting is impossible ! ewen : what do you propose to do to keep connie at bay , then ? kate : i have to be stronger than her . john : so you 're saying kate howard buys a gun , she tails anthony zacchara , she shoots out his tires . not an easy shot , by the way , but let 's say she 's got some hidden skills . i - i still do n't see the motive . anna : well , she wants to avenge sonny because zacchara took a shot at him . john : no , no , no . police report says sonny caught the bullet by accident . the real target was his son , dante . anna : i know , but , you know , she 's not gon na be reading the fine print when she man she loves is lying in front of her bleeding . so she acted in the spur of the moment and went out looking for revenge . john : well , if she wants to avenge sonny , why -- why would she turn around then frame him ? i mean , why does she let him take a fall for a crime that she commits ? explain that one . anna : maybe she 's hoping that sonny will beat the charges before she has to confess to save him ? oh , that 's -- john : what 's this ? that 's you reaching again . perhaps you 're just avoiding the obvious here . sonny dropped the gun in kate 's office . anna : way to keep an open mind . john : means , motive , opportunity . kate had none . sonny had , oh , all three . anna : plus you really want to find sonny guilty because he killed your sister . john : what do you say we do n't mention her again ? anna : okay . john : look , i know the difference between -- between justice and revenge , all right ? i 'm not about to cross that line . anna : i respect that .

heather : i was in the throes of a terrible case of mental illness , and i accidentally took an overdose of lsd . olivia : oh , i 'm sorry to hear that . lsd is no joke . i 've never taken it myself , but , uh ... heather : the lsd was actually meant for steven 's adoptive mother , diana taylor . you see , at the time , i felt that we were in competition for steven 's affections , and i wanted her out of the picture . so , one day , i made us both a cup of téa , and i laced hers with lsd . unfortunately , as luck would have it , uh , i drank the spiked téa , and that was that . my brain completely melted down , and i began the long , strange trip . it took me years to recover . drink up , dear . go ahead . do n't be shy . olivia : pass . i like my brain just fine just the way it is . thank you very much . heather : oh . silly me . you did n't think that ... no , no , no . look . just my medication . besides , the tainted téa i made for diana , it was iced . olivia : i 'm gon na skip the téa just the same , okay ? heather : i 've completely recovered . the doctors authorized my release . i want nothing more than to build a relationship with my son and his lovely , lovely girlfriend . steven : sorry about that . everyone getting along ? heather : like pilgrims and indians . i do n't think olivia cares for my téa , so i 'll just take it back to the kitchen . steven : well ? well ? what do you think ? olivia : i think she is still insane , and i think you 've lost your mind . tracy : this is , hands down , the worst birthday ever . no gifts , no cards , no cake , no calls . luke : you did get one gift from me . tracy : oh , please . for the last time , luke , i do not enjoy being spanked , whipped , or otherwise hit by foreign objects . luke : it 's not a whip . it 's a riding crop . tracy : semantics . luke : no , it is n't . i remembered how much you used to talk about that horse you loved . alice and monica : skittles . luke : skittles . that 's the one . tracy : what does skittles have to do with this ? luke : well , maybe somebody tracked skittles down for you . tracy : no , you did n't . luke : skittles lived out his life on a 1,000-acre ranch in the adirondacks . he was a real stud . literally . he sired many wonderful ponies , the best and last of which is waiting to meet you . tracy : a pony ? luke : son of skittles . he 's tied up out back . tracy : i - i ... you got me a pony for my birthday ? luke : happy birthday , spanky . starr : you saw sonny fire that gun ? anthony : clear as day in my rearview mirror . starr : did you tell the police ? anthony : i made a special trip to the station . unfortunately , the cop who took my statement was sonny 's kid , dante . so i would n't be surprised if he tries to cover it up . starr : you have to testify tomorrow . anthony : oh , i 'm not looking for any more trouble , kiddo . i do n't want sonny coming after me again . starr : if you do n't show up at that trial , i 'll tell the d.a . they will force you to testify . anthony : you 're a tough , little thing , are n't you ? starr : you have no idea . michael : you and johnny are together ? is that what i 'm hearing ? carly : we did n't want to hide it from you . michael : okay , so , after months of warning me to stay away from him , now you 're dating him . carly : that 's a completely different situation . michael : [ chuckles ] johnny : michael , your mother has nothing to do with my business . carly : no , and we want you to be okay with this . michael : m - mom , remember when you told me that i was taking a risk ? well , now you 're doing that exact same thing , which is n't exactly fair to morgan or josslyn , is it ? johnny : do n't make her feel bad for wanting to -- michael : if you 're such a nice guy , you 'd stay away from her . carly : michael . michael : you know , mom , yeah , i have no right to tell you who to date . but somebody 's framing dad for causing that accident , and johnny has the best motive . you 're dating the guy . carly : i want you to have dinner with us . michael : no . i got to go . carly : [ sighs ] johnny : that went well . kate : what 's going on with michael ? sonny : do n't worry about it . he 'll be okay . glad you could make it . kate : sorry i kept you waiting . sonny : well , maybe next time before you text , you should just make sure that you 're coming , you know what i mean ? kate : never again . i promise . sam : kate called you sonny 's lap dog ? jason : yeah , and she said if i crossed her again , i would regret it . sam : what ? that does n't sound like kate howard . jason : i know . it was weird . it was like i was talking to somebody else . sam : well , did you tell sonny ? jason : [ sighs ] i - i thought about letting it go . i know sonny 's stressed about the whole trial , but i know how important kate is to him . i mean , he had the right to know . sam : how did he react ? jason : sonny already knew . kate told him that i was the one that went off on her . sam : that 's crazy . he 's got to realize you would never do anything like that . jason : well , right now , h - he has to choose who to believe , and -- and he chose kate . sam : after all the times that you 've been loyal to sonny , he 's got the nerve to doubt you ? jason : i - i - i can understand . the last thing a man wants to believe is the woman he loves is lying to him . ewen : i have a patient in crisis . i 'd hoped she 'd agree to admit herself for treatment . um , she 's a danger to herself and others . um , i 'm afraid i 'm gon na have to have her committed against her will . sonny : so , i know that , um , you wanted me to let it go , but i spoke to jason . kate : why ? sonny : well , he was acting up . i want to set him straight . kate : well , just let it go . sonny : well , i - i - i could , but the thing is , i do n't -- i do n't like the way we left it . kate : you and jason ? sonny : well , see , the thing is , you -- you said that he was hostile and threatening . he says that you went off on him . alice : looks like mr. corinthos ' trial starts tomorrow . anthony : i hope that son of a bitch gets the chair for trying to kill me . it 's what he deserves . monica : or a medal . anthony : what have we here ? it 's our own wantha davis . monica : wantha ? tracy : wantha davis is our country 's preeminent female jockey , arguably the greatest of all time . you 're better informed than i thought . alice : i hope you have a fabulous ride , miss tracy . monica : yes , and i hope skittles tosses you ass over téa kettle . tracy : thank you , monica . time for son of skittles and me to get to know each other . anna : [ sobs ] luke : everyone all right in here ?

[ laughter ] maxie : look , i do n't know what you think you know . ellie : just that something is amiss . based on what you told your father , it sounded like -- maxie : you were eavesdropping on my private conversation ? ellie : no . maxie , no . i was n't eavesdropping . i was walking by , and i overheard . and i heard you say that if your father had n't stepped in , the truth about the baby would be out . maxie : oh . that 's all you heard . ellie : yes . okay , well , i heard that and some references to a psycho doctor . but if you or your baby are hurt or in jeopardy , that 's something that you should share with friends . maxie : and by `` my friends , `` do you mean you ? ellie : i know we do n't always get along , but i have a good deal of scientific and medical knowledge . and maybe i can help . so , please , maxie , just tell me . what truth is so dangerous ?

[ chuckles ] nathan : so did you ? maxie : i ate , i prayed , and i ... loved every minute of it . nathan : well , good . then the only thing that has n't changed is your apartment . maxie : yeah . but now that i 'm back , it just feels like all this belongs to somebody else . nathan : yeah . maxie : so , how are you doing ? are you enjoying your time in port charles ? nathan : i would n't say that . maxie : why not ? come on . what 's wrong ?

[ scene_break ] britt : nikolas , i 'm sorry . i 'll leave you alone . nikolas : [ sniffles ] you helped elizabeth . i appreciate that . and i appreciate you leading dante and lulu to their son . thank you . britt : yeah , well , it was the least i could do . nikolas : no . the least you could have done was not steal my sister 's embryos and trap patrick with a baby that does n't even belong to him . all of this -- all of this grief , sadness ... and violence ... it 's all because of you and your lies -- everything . britt : i know , and i 'm sorry . nikolas : [ scoffs ] see , yet another apology . do you think that that 's gon na make up for everything that you 've done ? ! britt : no , of course not . i did what i did . no one forced me . i could have said no . i - i - i could have owned up to everything , and i did n't . nikolas : no . britt : since i ca n't apologize enough , all i can do is say i 'm sorry once to all the people that i 've hurt and leave them in peace . nikolas : yeah . i think that 's probably best . britt : look , the one thing in my life that was n't a lie , nikolas , was that i loved you . i honestly did , and i still do . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you are no sister of mine . my sister was magda westbourne . madeline : [ chuckles ] i never really cared much for that name . always reminded me of avant - garde theater and factory workers . dr. obrecht : your name , your city -- you had no use for either . you let your aspirations and vanity get the better of you . madeline : do n't be hard on me for leaving zurich when i did . [ sighs ] i had to get out of there . dr. obrecht : and it apparently did n't matter whom you left behind . madeline : i did n't think you wanted to leave . dr. obrecht : some of us did n't get to transform ourselves . you lost your accent , moved to new york , and suddenly magda westbourne became madeline west . you forgot where you came from . madeline : i never forgot where i came from , but , unlike you , i do n't consider myself a slave to the circumstances into which i was born . i was ready , willing , and able to go out and make a new life for myself -- a better life . dr. obrecht : mm . well , then , brava ! and your couture fashions have added a touch of class to our surroundings . madeline : well , at least i 'm not blending into the institutional environment as you are . dr. obrecht : ah , magda , so superior , and yet here we are together in the same place , in the same position . so , tell me -- how has this `` better life `` worked out for you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : look , nathan , i realize that we barely know each other , but if you want to talk about it ... nathan : it could take awhile . maxie : that 's fine . i 've been working on being more present , so i 'm a pretty decent listener . nathan : i had to arrest someone . maxie : oh . you 're a cop ? nathan : yeah . i - i did n't mention that when i moved in ? maxie : no . no . i mean , i was pretty crazy self - absorbed , but , `` i 'm a cop `` -- i would have remembered that . nathan : is that gon na be a problem ? maxie : no . no . not at all . but , look , we 're getting off topic now , so i 'm going to refocus us . you said you had to arrest someone . nathan : yeah , and not just -- maxie : why is that a problem , though ? i mean , my stepfather was police commissioner when i was growing up , so i know firsthand that arresting people is , like , part of your job . yes , you have to serve and protect and sometimes rescue people , and every once in a while perform crowd control , but putting the bad guys behind bars is part of your job . levi : [ australian accent ] hey , max , fyi , i just used the last of your ... shampoo . nathan : who 's this ? levi : g'day . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know what ? i hate it when you 're right , but you 're right . dante and lulu are gon na need a little bit of space on their first night home alone with the baby , so ... sonny : where are you going ? olivia : well , they 're not only gon na need space . they 're gon na need diapers and baby food and all that other kind of stuff -- everything under the sun -- so i 'm gon na go and take care of all that . sonny : tonight ? olivia : yes . sonny , babies eat and poop every single night , and if i get all that stuff , then lulu can just focus on bonding with the baby . so ... sonny : all right . i think that 's a good idea . olivia : you gon na come ? sonny : um ... i think i 'm just gon na let you go . uh , i do n't want to get in your way . olivia : so , in other words , you need some time on your own to just sit and brood a little more , yeah ? sonny : yeah . something like that . olivia : [ sighs ] sonny , you got to let go of this guilt . you are not the reason that michael is in pain right now , okay ? i love you . sonny : i love you , too . olivia : i 'll call you later . sonny : okay . we need to talk . ava : sonny . i did n't expect to run into you here , of all places . sonny : well , i 'm glad you did , 'cause i got to give you a heads - up about carly . [ scene_break ] franco : give me one good reason why i should n't call the cops . carly : give you a dozen . franco : fine . give me a dozen . better yet -- you know what i 'll do ? i 'll call the district attorney . that 's what i 'll do . sonny 's head on a platter . that 's , like , the best father 's day gift ever . carly : you ca n't do that ! franco : why not ? sonny 's had it in for me from day one ! okay , i 've done some horrible things in my life -- i have , and i 'm sorry for th -- i am -- i am truly sorry -- but sonny is always lording something over me , and he accuses me of -- of -- he -- he thought that i could hurt you -- the one person in the world that i could never hurt -- that i would never hurt . why should i cut that bastard a break ? carly : i 'm not asking you to keep quiet for sonny . i 'm asking you to keep quiet for me -- for michael . he just lost aj . he ca n't lose sonny , too . franco : [ sighs ] they 're both crappy fathers . carly : you know what ? say what you want about aj , but sonny has been a great father to michael . franco : yeah , right up until the moment when he pulled the trigger on aj . carly : stop ! and finding that out will destroy him , okay ? ! yeah , so i told sonny i would n't say anything ! but i 'm not just keeping quiet to protect sonny . i need to keep this secret to protect my son ! franco : michael 's a lot stronger than you give him credit for . carly : okay , yeah . all right , you 're probably right . hell , he 'd have to be to survive the things he 's survived . you asked for my trust , and i gave you my trust , so it 's my turn . look at me ! can i trust you to keep this secret for me ? franco : of course , you can trust me , and your secret is safe with me . you can trust me always . carly : thank you . franco : this is gon na be unbearable . carly : [ chuckles ] franco : i ca n't believe you 're asking me to do this . i ca n't believe it . every time i see sonny , every time he throws my past in my face , every time he tells me that -- that i do n't deserve you , every time he speaks , all i 'm gon na think about is that i know the truth . i know that he shot aj . i know that he took michael 's biological father away from -- thank you . sonny corinthos is nothing but a hypocrite . carly : mm - hmm . well , sonny is not the only hypocrite involved here . franco : wait . what ? what are you talking about ? carly : ava is up to her neck in all of this , too . franco : oh . [ scene_break ] ava : carly knows that you shot aj ? you actually told her ? sonny : i did n't tell carly anything . aj did . ava : what do you mean aj told her ? aj 's dead as a doornail . sonny : well , before he kicked it , apparently , he woke up , and he told carly that i was the shooter . ava : okay . did he say anything else before he croaked ? sonny : uh , yeah . he -- he -- he actually said something about you .

[ scene_break ] sonny : carly started asking questions , so i told her what i saw when i walked in the door -- aj with his hands around your neck , strangling you .

[ scene_break ] sam : you look kind of pale . does your leg still hurt from the wreck ? jason : no , it 's fine . i just , you know , hurt it a little bit , it 's not a problem . sam : you know , neither one of us can admit when we 're in pain or upset . have you noticed that ? i think it 's just one more thing we have in common . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : carly must be paying off the repairs from the explosion -- these prices are unbelievable . lucky : well , it 's our anniversary and probably the last chance we 'll have to eat out for a while . elizabeth : that 's a good point . lucky : but can we take the stairs when we leave ? i do n't want to take a chance of you getting stuck in an elevator again , being that you 're so far along . elizabeth : i 'm fine . lucky : well , you never can trust that everything 's going to be okay , especially after what sam told me about last summer .

[ scene_break ] robin : how are you feeling ? alexis : let 's see -- worried , mortified , exhausted , and as usual , on the verge of throwing up . robin : you do n't get to be mortified when you 're in chemo . alexis : i do when my daughter and i get driven to the hospital in the middle of the night by a mere stranger just for some dehydration . dr. trent told me i needed to drink water . it 's just really hard -- robin : and that 's difficult with the nausea , right ? alexis : it is . i 'm just going to have to be more persistent . robin : well , it 's not easy being a patient -- i know from my recent experience . alexis : can you go check on kristina ? she 's sitting out in the lobby with this -- this new stranger , this mr. brosnan , and she just met him two seconds ago . robin : mr. brosnan 's here ?

[ james chuckles ] patrick : well , i 'm glad you could help , mr. brosnan . james : oh , no problem at all . patrick : have we met ? there 's something about you that seems familiar . james : oh , really ? i -- i suppose it 's possible . i travel frequently on business , you know ? robin : dr. drake , i have an update on ms. davis . james : oh , she is all right , doctor ? robin : yes . james : oh , good , good . patrick : wow -- dabbling in oncology now . robin : if you 'll excuse us ? james : oh , certainly . nice to meet you , dr. drake . patrick : yeah . robin : since when do you needle me in front of my patients ? patrick : there 's no patient . robin : you 're being ridiculous and petty , and you 're making us both look bad . i mean , you already embarrassed me in front epiphany , and now you 're snarking at me in front of a patient 's family ? if you do n't get your adolescent behavior under control , i will report you to human resources . patrick : what happened to you ? [ scene_break ] kristina : why were you talking funny ? [ scene_break ] sam : so i 'm really looking forward to filming my first segment . jason : what 's it about ? sam : how to survive a home - invasion robbery . jason : you shoot him . sam : hey -- that 's not funny . look , i know that would be your first instinct , but i really want to teach people , especially women , that you have got to escape and resist . i mean , that 's what the cops recommended anyway . jason : but how many people even have to deal with a home - invasion robbery ? sam : i know , i know -- this is what i said to amelia . i told her that it was pretty sensational , but she 's the producer , it 's her show , she can do whatever she wants , and she 's probably right , because who wants to tune in to watch a segment on fireproofing your home , or c.p.r . classes ? i think she kind of just wants to grab people 's attention and get the ratings right away . jason : whatever it is , you 're going to do great . [ scene_break ] lucky : sam resented how jason watched out for you last summer . so did i at the time , but now i 'm grateful . elizabeth : let 's just forget about last summer , okay ? i 'd rather focus on what we have to look forward to . lucky : well , one good thing did come out of last summer -- we made our baby . [ scene_break ] jax : the assistant manager called me and told me that alcazar and skye were in the restaurant . does carly know ? max : i had marty call you , and i called mrs. c . jax : wow . that 's just great , max -- you just made a bad situation worse . [ scene_break ] carly : hello . skye : it 's a public restaurant . we have every right to be here . carly : you 're right , you do . so you should sit down and enjoy yourself . but you should know that my staff was informed that you two are partly responsible for the hostage crisis . skye : that 's ridiculous . that 's slander . carly : my people should know who they 're waiting on . so i ca n't really guarantee the level of service you 're going to get or how your food 's going to be prepared . guys are fearless , right ? i mean , you showed up here . have a nice evening . you 're here . jax : yes , i 'm here . carly : hi . jax : i just , you know , could n't tear myself away from you .

[ southern accent ] bye , doctor . robin : hi . how are you doing ? kristina : what -- what , are you sick ? robin : no . no , no , no . why would you think that ? kristina : because your hands are shaking just like mommy 's do . robin : no . here .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you have to have that conversation with michael , the sooner the better . jason : what , did something happen ? sonny : yeah ' he locked us in carly 's basement in her house so we would get back together . jason : listen to me , alcazar is faking the brain damage . he 's setting us all up and he 's probably using skye as a decoy . [ scene_break ] skye : well , it tastes all right . maybe it 's a little underdone -- maybe it 's contaminated with e. coli or something . lorenzo : you really think carly would poison us ? skye : oh , carly was just being spiteful . everything 's fine . she 's probably watching . lorenzo : well -- well , we could leave . skye : no . let 's not give her the satisfaction . lorenzo : are n't you afraid ? skye : no ! it 's fine , everything 's going to be fine . i will take care of everything , okay ? lorenzo : you already take such good care of me . i do n't know what i would do without you . [ scene_break ] carly : i can not believe michael locked us in the basement . jax : well , he 's very resourceful . but that does n't change the fundamental truth -- sonny will always be a part of your life . carly : i told you that from the start . do you honestly believe you can deal with it ? jax : i 'll have to , wo n't i , if i want you in my life . what about you ? what do you really want ? you want to try again or run away ? [ scene_break ] alexis : hey . where 's mr. brosnan ? robin : uh -- i had some time to sit with kristina , so i sent him back to wyndemere . alexis : so much for chivalry . robin : uh , if you 'd like , i could give you and kristina a ride home . alexis : thank you , robin , i 'd really appreciate that . robin : okay , i will get you signed out and meet you guys downstairs . alexis : thanks , robin . robin : mm - hmm . alexis : and thank you , epiphany . epiphany : you 're welcome . alexis : so , was everything okay while you were waiting ? kristina : yeah , mr. brosnan is a nice guy , and he -- and he can speak in different voices .

[ scene_break ] jason : for a second when alcazar turned to defend himself , he dropped the act by instinct . sonny : are you sure ? jason : yes , i saw it . i saw it -- alcazar covered well , but there 's no question that he is in complete control . the brain damage is an act . sonny : the man is letting the mother of his child put herself on the line as a decoy for what ? jason : to catch us off - guard . sonny : or maybe to fool his covert - ops contacts , to save his own skin , right ? which would mean that alcazar has to fake this brain damage indefinitely . [ scene_break ] skye : excuse me . maybe it 's psychosomatic , but i 'm suddenly not feeling very well . lorenzo : okay . i 'll wait here . skye : thank you . lorenzo : mm - hmm . man : we found corinthos .

[ scene_break ] sonny : does alcazar think you -- you bought his cover ? jason : i 'm not really sure it matters . sonny : okay , let 's get to the point here , all right ? alcazar has -- as you and i both know -- a huge ego . he 's got to be hating the fact that he 's got to pretend that he 's , you know , helpless , so what we 're going to do is we 're going to make him hate it even more . i want you to put pressure on skye , get her to scramble to hold things together . jason : so you want to try to force alcazar to drop the act ? [ scene_break ] man : an old nightclub , below kelly 's . lorenzo : hmm , the cellar -- perfect place for an ambush . sonny : if his covert - ops buddies figure out that he 's faking , then they 'll be able to get rid of alcazar for us .

[ door opens ] matt : hey , you busy ? ewen : um , yeah . what 's up ? matt : i have a patient that has some recurring problems . neuro scans came back clean . m hoping to get a psych consult . ewen : sure . sit down . matt : oh , damn . you know , i left the -- i left the -- the papers at the nurse 's station , actually . uh -- ewen : i 'll come out there with you , then . matt : you sure ? ewen : no worries . matt : great . all right . johnny : look , i do n't have a lot of experience doing the right thing , so just bear with me , all right ? carly : if you 're about to do the noble thing and walk away for my own good , do n't . johnny : okay , you have been great through e - everything . this whole thing with anthony , the thing with my mother brought me to a really dark place , and you really did everything you could to kind of shake me out of it , to make things better . d ... i do n't know , i started to care for you a lot . carly : it still sounds like a lead - up to `` goodbye . `` johnny : i just know how close you are with michael , and i do n't want to s anything that would jeopardize your relationship . carly : okay , listen to me now . michael is n't threatened to cut me out of his life . he 's worried about me . and i get it . you and sonny have done a lot of damage to each other and -- and to the people that get caught in the middle . johnny : [ sighs ] well , you know this has nothing to do with sonny , right ? that 's not what this is about . carly : i know . i know that . and eventually , michael 's gon na know it , too . he likes you . you were good to abby , and -- and you were good to him . johnny : well , sonny 's gon na do everything he can to convince michael i put that gun in kate 's office . carly : i know you did n't . and if it 's not sonny 's gun , that means something else is going on , something that we ca n't see . heather : ca n't imagine how many times i 've thought of this moment , rehearsed what i would say , how i would say it . luke : how did you get out of ferncliff ? heather : i walked out the front door . luke : really ? after clubbing the nurse with a floor la or strangling her with a bed sheet ? heather : it hurts me to hear you say that . but i can understand , considering how terrible things re and how they ended last time i was here . luke : yeah , they ended with you being taken to a facility for the criminally insane . heather : i worked very hard to reclaim my life -- and my equilibrium . the doctors have decided that i 'm ready to return to society . i 've been released . luke : go figure . heather : i 've got the discharge papers right here . luke : well , papers can be forged . doctors can be bribed , threatened , seduced . heather : seducing a seven - member psychiatric team ? [ chuckles ] that would be quite a feat , even for me . oh , my son agreed to be responsible for me you can see his signature right here . luke : steve signed off on this ? heather : mm - hmm . olivia : sorry , steve . i 'm sorry . i knew it from the minute that i saw heather that is was gon na be a mistake having her here . steven : let 's not go over the worst . maybe -- maybe she went for a walk . olivia : by -- by slipping out the back and not telling anybody ? steven : she 's been locked up for a long time . olivia : yeah , and the first chance she gets , she makes a run for it ! steven : she knows this release is conditional . she -- she has to comply with the guidelines or she is going straight back to ferncliff . olivia : okay . okay . t a reasonable person that might make some sense to . to your mother ? not so much . steven : all right . she -- she wants this . s - s - she 's -- she 's -- she 's not gon na mess this up . olivia : i know that you want to see the best in your mother , but you signed a piece of paper taking responsibility for heather and her actions , which means if she takes a city bus and rams it into a schoolyard , that 's on you . steven : i 've got to find her . luke : these papers look legit . you must have found a really good forger . heather : i know it 's unrealistic to think i can walk back into your life and you 're gon na welcome me with open arms . luke : you 're not welcome . heather : please , luke . being locked up all those years , that was the worst time of my life . luke : you 'll find no sympathy here , heather . heather : the only thing that kept me going , besides my son , it was the memories of the way it was between us when things were good . do you remember that , luke ? heather : in case you missed it , i 'm completely and totally in love with you . i thought you understood that . luke : well , let 's find out exactly what i do understand . i understand that you love me enough to kill edward , you love me enough to ice - pick detective duncan and , uh , frame skye for it . do you love me enough to kidnap my wife from the nutfarm and use her for cover ? luke : i remember everything . carly : thank you . johnny : so , how do you know i 'm not the one that planted the gun in kate 's office ? carly : 'cause i was with you all night , remember ? johnny : yes , but you went and talked to shawn , and i called anthony . how do you know i did n't call one of my guys and have him go after anthony with the intention of killing him and making it look like sonny did it ? carly : are you trying to convince me that you did it ? johnny : just raising the question . you trust me or not ? carly : i know you . johnny : mm - hmm . carly : you 're the guy who tried to push me away to protect my relationship with my son . i know the kind person you are , even if you do n't like to show it . johnny : nah , let 's just say you bring it out in me . carly : for the record , um ... i 'm starting to care about you , too . johnny : hmm . carly : so , nice try getting rid of me . i 'm not going anywhere . well , unless you want to come with me . johnny : well , in that case , let 's get out of here . kate : you know how carly is . she does n't care about anyone but herself . sonny : carly has a lot of faults , but she 's a good mother . she loves her kids . i just do n't understand why she 's doing this to michael . kate : oh , you seem just as i upset as he was . sonny : this has been going on with michael for a long time , okay ? he 's in between me and carly . we 're refereeing . and now she 's spending time with c my worst enemy , so how am i supposed to feel about that ? kate : he 's doing his work for him . she 's trying to get under your skin the day before your trial . sonny : forget the trial for right now . i do n't -- i 'm gon na be fine . i just -- i do n't know why she 's doing this to her own son . kate : sonny , i am tired of this drama . i ca n't take it anymore . listen , we just have to be in control of our emotions and our actions . carly : oh , one second . hi . sonny : okay , we do n't want another fight or anything like that . carly : no , i do n't want to fight , and this has nothing to do with you . i need a word with kate . luke : i appreciate knowing that you 're out , heather , but now it 's time to go . heather : i can see the way you look at me . in your eyes , you still see that horrible , broken woman . that 's the image of me you 've been carrying around all these years . luke : i can honestly tell you i have n't thought of you one time since they took you away . heather : i 'm different , luke . i promise . the doctors have agreed i can lead a healthy happy life . luke : then i wish you well -- a long way away from here . heather : what are you doing ? luke : calling steve . heather : oh , no , you 're not . steven : i ca n't see heather approaching my grandmother or my sister . they both despise her . olivia : well , who else does heather know ? steven : she has n't lived her in a long time . she -- she does n't know that many people anymore . and the people that would remember her , they -- they would probably want to avoid her . olivia : who else in this town does heather know ? steven : scott baldwin , and he has n't lived here for years . other than that , i ca n't think of anyone . olivia : you said that she was married to edward quartermaine , right ? steven : she -- she was trying to get her hands into his money , and when that did n't work , she tried to kill him . olivia : okay , so stealing -- not a problem for her . steven : at the time she was committed to ferncliff , my mother was capable of anything . but the doctors say she 's changed . olivia : well , doctors can be wrong . now , hopefully your mother has n't risen to the level of murder yet , but it 's still your butt that 's on the line . if we do n't find her -- you 've got to find her before she causes you any more problems . steven : i 'm worried about the damage she could do to other people . luke : if you want me to believe that you 're sane , this is not the way to go about it . heather : i just want to talk to you for a minute . luke : heather , you 've already exceeded your allotted time . heather : i realize that things ended badly between us . but you ca n't tell me there is n't part of you that 's happy to see me . luke : you 're telling me that you 've worked hard to regain your sanity . i 'm not seeing any evidence of it . but if you give me the phone and go away , i will believe you . heather : do n't tell me you do n't remember that beautiful caribbean weekend we spent together . luke : well , just because i remember things does n't mean i want to revisit them . heather : is there someone else here ? luke : i - i - it does n't matter because you 're going . heather : i knew there had to be a reason that you were treating me like this . oh - ho , you are incredible . you are so typical . here i am pouring out my heart and soul , remembering the most romantic time of my life , and you 're being cold to me because you 've got another woman stashed there in the back ! luke : there 's nobody -- heather : who is it ? skye ? laura ? luke : all right ! that 's enough ! heather : come out , come out , whoever you are ! do n't be afraid . [ door closes ] anna : i do n't believe we 've met . spinelli : some find you trustworthy , no doubt swayed by your accent and faux heroic appearance . but your guise as a caring doctor hides a murderous heart . oh , those commitment papers ? `` female . crimson magazine `` ? he 's trying to have maxie declared insane ! carly : uh , this was delivered to me by accident . it 's an invoice for the work you had done in your office . kate : well , you illegally broke into my office , creating aid hostile work environment , and you you will pay for the new lock . carly : i did n't break in . i used a key . kate : exactly and i ca n't have you coming and going as you please . carly : got something to hide ? kate : absolutely not . sonny : i can change the lock if it 's gon na make you happy -- carly : you do n't have anything to hide ? what about the gun that the cop found in your office ? sonny : why do n't you tell your girlfriend johnny put that gun in the office ? johnny : i got no idea , but the d.a . seems to think it was you after you tried to kill anthony . carly : oh , no . kate 's hiding something . i can see it on her face , just like i saw it on your face when i was in your office . that 's when you got all skittish . kate : i do n't get skittish . carly : really ? calm , collective kate left the building , you were scared , and i ca n't wait to find out why . kate : if you ever come into my office again , i 'll have you arrested for trespassing , carly . carly : in my own hotel ? kate : in your hotel , in my office . carly : the more defensive you get , the more i know that you 're hiding something big , maybe even from sonny . what do you think about that , sonny ? mor sonny ow enough , carly . carly : do n't you want to know what kfre 's got going on ? i do . kate : why do n't you worry less about my life and a little more about yours ? or do n't you care that you just humiliated our son ? carly : what ? kate : oh , b i 'm sure poor michael 's used to it by no his desperate , horrible , completely inappropriate mother that jumping into bed with anything that 'll hami her . carly : my relationship with my son is none of your business . kate : i mean , you completely begged your security guard to sleep with you , did n't you ? oh , i 'm sure shawn had a little more taste than that . johnny , he just looks your way and you go running . i mean , do you spare a thought for your children ? any thoughts at all ? carly : do n't talk about my children . kate : i mean , morgan 's away , but josslyn 's too young to understand , but somebody josslyn will be devastated when she grows up and realizes that her mother is just a tacky , little slut who will just jump into any man that she can . carly : shut your mouth . kate : shut your mouth . carly : let 's take it outside , kate ! kate : i 'm not a street fighter , carly . that 's your style . carly : you talk about my kids again and i will kick your ass . sonny : back -- back off . carly : you 're going to defend her after that ? kate : he agrees with me . he 's often told me how hard it is to raise children with you . carly : oh , screw you , connie . johnny : carly . carly : i mean , there 's no `` kate , `` right ? it 's a made - up person and a made - up name . kate : you are threatened by my success and by the way sonny loves me . carly : threatened by you ? you 're an empty suit . you walked away from your family , the people who raised you and loved you . you spit in their face like you were ashamed of them . kate : do n't you talk about me like you know anything about me ! connie 's gone and she 's not coming back ! carly : i do n't care what you call yourself . you 're still a soulless , lying bitch . johnny : okay , that about wraps it up . come on . sonny : what 's the matter , johnny ? ca n't control your woman ? johnny : hey , i would n't talk , pal . sonny : what is that supposed to mean ? ewen : i 've got to be honest , dr. hunter . i 'm -- i 'm not seeing a psychological issue with this patient . matt : that is exactly why i wanted to come talk to you , you know ? this guy is a master at hiding , and he 's got everybody fooled . ewen : fooled about what ? matt : into thinking he 's normal . ewen : that 's -- that 's not a term i like to use . matt : that 's the thing with this guy . everyone thinks that he 's so nice and all meaning , people trust him . but underneath , there 's something darker and more dangerous . ewen : how do you know so much about this patient ? spinelli : j'accuse ! kn steven : [ sighs i 'm sure we just got our wes crossed , alice . there 's no nd to worry . it probably would n't hurt to keep an eye on edward just in case . thanks . olivia : the quartermaines have n't seen her ? steven : that 's a good thing . olivia : so , is there anyone else that she was close to , an old friend that she might have wanted to see ? steven : not that i can think of . i mean , maybe she just -- maybee she just went out . maybe she just wanted to see how the city 's changed . olivia : honey , you do n't have to put a positive spin on this , okay ? you were nice enough to let your mother back into your house , and she repaid you by taking off . steven : there still could be a good explanation behind all this . olivia : you 're trying to give her the benefit of the doubt . steven : she 's my mother . and even though i ca n't forgive her for -- for the things she 's done or the people she 's hurt , she has worked her tail off to recover , and she deserves to be able to make a life for herself . olivia : honey , i 'm not telling you to turn your back on her . steven : s what do you want me to do ? call the police ? put an apb out because she 's a half - hour late or she 's been gone for a half an hour ? that 's kind of premature . olivia : we ' on the same side here , steve . we need to put our heads together to figure out where oheather might have gone . steven : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] there is one person . olivia : who ?
