[ scene_break ] sonny : you know jax . he has a limited attention span . he 'll be gone before you know . jason : yeah . you did something , did n't you ? and i probably do n't want to know .

[ scene_break ] julian : you 're worrying about who owes who what ? i 've been underground for weeks after barely escaping our demented sister . ava : yes , i know . i was certain that she killed you ... and mourned your loss , wished i 'd spent more time with you ... longed for our relationship the way it was on our best days . julian : so , what happened ? ava : i found out you were alive . that 's what happened , and i remembered how angry i am with you ! do you have any idea what you put me through ? ! when sonny heard you call olivia his sister , he thought you were talking about me , and he came after me , julian ! julian : yeah , i 'm sorry -- ava : and he would have killed me ! julian : i 'm sorry that had to happen . ava : i survived only because jason had dante arrest me , which brings me back to the fact that i was in a jail cell for weeks while the only person who knew the truth -- my big brother -- did absolutely nothing to stop it . julian : do n't you think i wanted to ? ava : did n't seem like it , no . julian : well , olivia was threatening my family . what would you have done if you were in my place -- you tell me , huh ? -- if someone , anyone was threatening kiki ? do n't tell me you would n't have done everything possible to protect your daughter . ava : well , you 're right about that . a jerome does whatever they have to do to protect their own . julian : exactly . so , does that mean you 're gon na help me get out of here ? ava : consider it handled . [ door opens ] scott : hi , ava . i got here as soon as i got your message . julian : baldwin ? ava : [ sighs ] scott : well , it 's nice to see you back among the living . julian : this is your master plan ? scott : hey , hey , i do n't got to hang around here and get insulted . i 'll take the afternoon off and go to the track . julian : no , you might as well stick around . at least here , you 'll make some money . scott : oh , how soon you forget . you were facing the trifecta of felonies . and who got you acquitted ? i did that . i did that ! and i 'm willing to go two for the money . [ scene_break ] dante : it 's best to get statements as close to the events as possible . sam : no , i understand . but my mom was a little shaken up , as you can imagine . dante : mm . sam : that 's why ... i spent the night . she 's been sleeping most of the afternoon . dante : sure . i -- you know , this wo n't take long . i promise . just need to get documentation on the kidnapping charges . when the police showed up at the motel , julian confessed to holding your mom hostage . sam : okay . well , if he confessed , why do you need a statement from my mom ? dante : i just need to lock the case down . your mother can confirm this , we can nail julian to the wall for good . alexis : [ breathing heavily ] sam : i 'll explain the situation to my mom , and i 'll get her down to the station as soon as i can . dante : sure . all right . that 'd be great . sam : okay . dante : hope your mother feels better . sam : thank you so much . be safe out there . [ sighs ] he 's gone . alexis : thanks for the save . sam : oh , i did n't think you were up for dante 's questions right now . alexis : yeah , you know , i 'm -- i 'm not ready to give official statements this early in the morning . sam : it 's afternoon . alexis : whatever . sam : okay , so , you -- you might not have been up for dante 's questions , but ... does n't let you off the hook for mine . what really happened with you and julian last night ? [ scene_break ] jason : hey . elizabeth : hi . come in . jason : where 's jake ? elizabeth : he 's still at school . i thought maybe we could talk before he gets home . jason : okay . is this about his therapy ? elizabeth : yeah . kind of . [ sighs ] jake has been talking to franco about his sessions with dr. maddox . jason : franco ? i thought we discussed this . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] i know . we did -- jason : i do n't want franco involved in any of this . elizabeth : we -- i know . i know . i did n't mean for this to happen . i - i just found out about it myself . but look . i want to show you this . jake left this at franco 's studio the other night . jason : [ sighs ] okay . [ clears throat ] what am i looking at here ? is this boy supposed to be jake ? elizabeth : franco seems to think so . jason : clearly , he 's hiding from the scarecrow . elizabeth : well , we do n't really know that for sure . but when franco asked him about it , jake insisted he did n't want his parents to know any more about the scarecrow . now , he knows that i 've already seen it ... which means the parent he 's afraid of ... is you . [ scene_break ] alexis : you found me with julian . you saw exactly what happened . sam : uh , no . i heard what happened . more to the point , i heard it from julian . alexis : so , you think his confession is a lie ? sam : [ laughs ] well , while i - i do n't have a problem believing that julian would kidnap you , i - i find it hard to believe that he would take you to a motel room . alexis : well , where else is he gon na go ? he ca n't come here . sam : yeah , you 're right . he ca n't , can he ? [ inhales sharply ] i do n't know , mom . i just -- i 'm having a hard time believing that he would hold you up in a motel room . so why do n't you just tell me the truth ? he did n't kidnap you , did he ? [ door opens ] kristina : hey ! molly : hi . mom , oh , my gosh , i 'm so glad you 're okay . alexis : i 'm okay . what happened to your arm ? ! kristina : walking and texting . alexis : what ? molly : sorry . kristina : we came over last night as soon as we heard what julian did and to tell you about molly . alexis : oh . kristina : but somebody would n't let us see you . sam : oh , well , that -- it 's -- somebody was asleep . molly : well , we could have tiptoed into her bedroom . alexis : you know , i 'm in one piece , but you are n't . i 'm worried . molly : well , you 're the one who went through a trauma with julian , okay ? and since 90 % of all communication is nonverbal , kristina and i thought it would just be better if we could come see you ourselves . kristina : we did n't want you to have a drink . molly : kristina ! kristina : what ? that 's why we 're here , is n't it ? molly : i was trying to say it in a more subtle way . kristina : you were taking too long , and the food 's getting cold . we brought brunch from kelly 's . molly : we thought waffles would be good comfort food . alexis : for both of us . molly : [ chuckles ] alexis : and you figured right . kristina : and we put all the best comic - book series at the top of our queues . molly : completely mindless entertainment that takes absolutely zero brain cells to watch so that we can talk . kristina : or not talk . molly : you know , whatever you want . it 's all about the davis women today . [ baby cooing ] alexis : well -- molly : all of them , huh ? alexis : all right , well , i could n't love anything more . it 's my favorite kind of day . kristina : well , what are we waiting for ? i 'm starving . molly : oh , and , sam , do n't worry . the movies are going to be a good influence on scout . we made sure to pick the movies with themes of female empowerment . sam : oh , that 's good . we could all use a little bit of that right now . alexis : yeah . so , i 'm gon na go grab a waffle before -- sam : well , no , no , hold on . i am not done with this conversation . alexis : well , we have plenty of time for that later . i got to go help your sister eat . she 's only got one arm . [ scene_break ] scott : all right , now , enough of this chitchat . if i 'm gon na mount a defense , we have n't got a minute to waste , so , uh , you 're gon na have to go . you 're not covered under client / lawyer privilege . ava : oh , okay . say no more . i 'm sure that my brother will be happy to reimburse me after he 's free and clear of all the charges . julian : you have a lot of faith . ava : in scotty 's abilities or your finances ? both . ava : what can i say ? you 're my brother . and despite your recent disloyalty ... i love you . i 'm glad you 're alive . julian : careful now . somebody might think that you actually like me . scott : do n't worry . i 'll keep it under my hat . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , carly . you did n't -- you did n't have to come here and wish me happy birthday . carly : i do n't want you to lie to me . you called customs and immigration on jax . you 're trying to have him deported . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know you have no reason to believe franco , but ... jason : i just want to know what 's going on here . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jake and i ran into him at the hospital . jake went into his therapy session , and franco showed me a picture of this drawing . jason : and he said my son 's afraid of me ? elizabeth : yes . and when jake figured out that franco had shown me this picture , he had a total meltdown . he -- he took off . we could n't find him . it was crazy . and then when franco finally caught up to him , he kept insisting that he did n't want his parents to know any more about the scarecrow . jason : but he did n't mean both his parents . he just meant me . jake 's afraid that -- jake does n't want me to see the scarecrow . jake : dad ? [ scene_break ] molly : [ laughing ] i love this movie . sam : that 's just because you have n't seen the sequel . molly : yes , i have ! forgive me if i prefer an origin story to two hours of blowing everything in the world up . kristina : that 's the whole point . the origin story is just the setup so you can get to the good stuff . molly : okay , fine ! there is only one way that we 're gon na settle this -- we have to watch both . kristina : sounds good to me . let 's let mom be the deciding vote . alexis : what ? what are we voting on ? molly : whether story is more important than special effects . alexis : mm . kristina : [ sighs ] we 're not moving from the couch for the next four hours -- unless you have somewhere you need to be . alexis : nowhere comes to mind . sam : you know what ? actually , mom has to go to the police station and make a statement , so ... [ turns tv off ] kristina : what for ? did n't julian confess ? alexis : yeah , he did . he just -- dante wants to ask me some questions . some forms i think i need to fill out . molly : well , that 's probably good , right ? i mean , if they do everything by the book , they can make sure julian never gets away with anything like this again . alexis : right . good point . kristina : so , they have to make mom relive her whole trauma all over again ? i mean , how many times has julian put her through agony ? and dante 's going to do more of the same . alexis : i -- i do n't think that was dante 's intention . i think he 's just doing his job . kristina : everyone knows what julian did to you , mom . and it was n't just kidnapping you . he set you up for murder , and then he tried to kill you . it did n't matter that he was married to you or that he claimed to love you . he tried to slit your throat because julian 's willing to do whatever it takes to save his own ass . he 's a selfish bastard , and if you ask me , a firing squad is too good for him . alexis : okay , okay , i get it . we all get it . [ scene_break ] ava : detective .... pleasure , as always . dante : here to see your brother , i assume ? ava : oh , yes , yes . it 's wonderful , is n't it , his return to the land of the living ? dante : ah , the miracle we 've all been hoping for . ava : mm . dante : i got some more good news for you , too . ava : do n't keep me in suspense . dante : the evidence from the robbery at the floating rib has been released today . so , you can get your charm bracelet back . ava : that is wonderful . i 've missed that . dante : mm . i 'll get , uh , morgan 's pills back to sonny . man , i still ca n't figure out how ... these made it to the floating rib six months after he died . ava : [ stammers ] one of life 's great mysteries . dante : ah , well , i do n't think that 's gon na be good enough for sonny . we both know he 's not gon na rest until he finds out the truth . [ scene_break ] carly : when did you become such a hypocrite , sonny ? ! sonny : you know what ? i use whatever leverage i can use . unfortunately , jax broke the law when he paid frank for that kidney . so he can be deported . carly : great . i get it . for you , this is all about payback . so , you hurt me and you hurt jax . did you stop for one second to think what this was gon na do to josslyn ? in the past year , she 's lost morgan and her grandmother . now jax was arrested , and he 's gon na be deported , sonny . sonny : it 's not like they 're gon na hold him at some detention center , carly . they 're gon na escort him on his beautiful plane , right ? he 's gon na take off and go to australia , and josslyn can visit him anytime she wants . carly : this is my kid 's father , sonny ! okay , fine . this is how you want to play it , fine , but if jax has to suffer the consequences , so do you . and believe me -- there will be consequences . sonny : what is that supposed to mean , carly ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey there . [ baby cooing ] sam : did they startle you ? alexis : i 'm sorry . did i wake her ? sam : oh , it 's okay , right ? she 's got to get used to it sometime . molly : scout is resilient . sam : she is . molly : but , mom , you 're the one that i 'm worried about . alexis : honey , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i just -- it 's hard for me to hear any more lectures about this because the situation -- there 's just more to it than you know . kristina : you mean a situation where you 're in a relationship with someone who hurts you mentally and physically ? i actually know a lot about that . alexis : i know you do . i 'm sorry . i really am , honey . i - i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm confused . molly : mom , there 's nothing to be confused about . unless you 're actually defending julian again . alexis : [ stammers ] no , it -- it 's not that simple . molly : i do n't know . it seems pretty simple to me . julian put a lot of the people you care about in danger . sam could have died because of what he did . so could scout . alexis : i am very well - aware of all the danger that he put all of us into . it 's -- it 's just -- his motives are complex , is all i can say . molly : not really . honestly , kristina is right . julian does n't care about anybody but himself . alexis : i know . you 're right . i 'm not defending him . i just -- i think that i 'm more tired than i think . molly : yeah . you had a really hard night . alexis : yeah , and i was hoping that all this would be over . kristina : well , is n't it ? sam : you know what ? mom needs a breather before she goes to the station to give her statement , so ... molly : yeah . yeah , that 's a good idea . alexis : y -- okay . molly : good luck . alexis : all right , so -- molly : i 'll check in later , okay ? alexis : all right , honey . you take good care of your arm , okay ? molly : okay . take good care of yourself , all right ? alexis : i will . you be careful . and i love you . kristina : i love you , too . alexis : and thank you for the waffles . kristina : mm - hmm . alexis : okay . molly : i love you . alexis : bye . [ door closes ] alexis : well , i should n't have said that . sam : i think kristina understands . alexis : no , she does n't , and i do n't know that i do , you know ? why would i say that to her after everything she went through with kiefer ? [ stammers ] i should never have done that . sam : do you think you should n't have done that because of kristina or ... because of julian ? because you know what , mom ? it 's probably easier to just come out and tell the truth , so ... why do n't you just tell me the truth ? he did n't hold you hostage last night , did he ? alexis : no . [ scene_break ] scott : so , the cops show up to the hotel room , and the first thing you do is admit that you kidnapped alexis ? julian : well , she was standing right there . what else was i supposed to do ? scott : oh , well , you were supposed to just dummy up . you know that expression , `` anything you say can and will be used against you `` ? julian : yeah , i 've heard the term . scott : yeah , well , they usually mean it . julian : does n't matter anyway . all the police have to do is question alexis , and they 'll find out the truth . scott : so , it 's your word against hers . you know , she has got so many skeletons in her closet . all i have to do is pick one to discredit her . julian : let me make one thing abundantly clear . you can mount any defense you want , use any means necessary to get me acquitted , except anything that pertains to alexis . scott : you got to be kidding me . julian : i 'm not kidding you . i have hurt alexis enough , and i promised her i would allow her to move on with her life . scott : because it 's worked so well for you before . julian : after you clear me of these charges ... i 'm leaving port charles for good . scott : you know , i 'm not quite sure how you feel about my legal expertise , but let me assure you that i am top - notch here . so , as your attorney , the best advice i 'm gon na give you is that you 're gon na have to take a plea bargain . julian : what the hell does that mean ? scott : well , legalese , you 're gon na spend a long , long time in pentonville . [ scene_break ] carly : i really wanted to handle this breakup like a mature adult , you know ? i wanted to take the high road , no matter how angry i was at you . sonny : but now ? carly : now you have shown me you have no interest in keeping this civil . when you made the call to ice , you took the first shot , sonny . so , fine , it 's war . it 's war , but you know what ? i 'm gon na win . sonny : we 'll see , carly . carly : yeah , we will . well , enjoy your birthday ... here , alone . you know , when i see you here , all i can think about is how you celebrated last year when we were all together , all of us together as a family . and then everyone left and it was just the two of us , and i had never felt ... so close to you . i knew we were gon na last forever . just amazing ... the difference a year makes . [ scene_break ] jake : did you and mom wait here after you took me to school this morning ? elizabeth : no , baby . your dad just stopped by for a quick visit . jason : you know , actually , uh , i thought if you were up for it , maybe we could hang out a little bit . elizabeth : are you hungry ? i 'll get you something to eat . jason : sit down , buddy . how 's school ? jake : okay . kind of boring . jason : yeah ? well , you 're a smart kid . sometimes school is gon na seem a little boring . bet you 're ready for summer already , huh ? jake : yeah . jason : yeah . and , you know ... school 's not as much fun as , say , uh , playing with your brothers or your video games or even those action figures that dr. maddox has . jake : right . jason : right . you know , uh , whatever you discuss with dr. maddox -- that 's between you and him . that 's -- that 's private . jake : i know . jason : good , but i - i need you to know something . like , if there 's anything you want to talk to me about -- anything at all -- you can always talk to me . jake : i know that . jason : good . because , um , i got to tell you , i 've had this crazy feeling that maybe you 're afraid of me . jake : you 're not the one i 'm scared of . jason : jake , is there someone else you 're afraid of , someone you do n't want to know about the scarecrow ? jake : mom . elizabeth : do you want some cheese and apples ? jake : can i have a soda ? elizabeth : uh , y -- half of one . jason : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] what do you think ? jason : uh , he 's definitely afraid of someone , but he says it 's not me . elizabeth : i do n't understand . franco said that he was afraid of telling his parents , meaning you , about the scarecrow . jason : yeah . elizabeth : okay , and before you say it , i know what you 're thinking -- franco somehow planted this in jake 's mind . jason : that 's not what i was gon na say . that 's not what i 'm thinking at all . elizabeth : oh . you were n't ? jason : no . i 'm pretty sure i know exactly what 's going on with jake . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , when i was getting those mysterious phone calls and the photo was missing and -- you asked me how i 'd feel if it turned out that julian was alive . sam : yes , and you told me you were n't sure . alexis : right . and then i saw his photo -- proof that he did n't die . and i , uh , went down -- i went down to the pier . sam : yeah . jason and i found your scarf there . i figured you went down there to think about the night . alexis : i went down there to find closure . and i found him ... julian ... standing there . and i felt relief . sam : okay . so , he did n't force you to go to the motel ? alexis : no . no . i went with him . and then you and jason and the police showed up . and he said i was his hostage , so that i would n't be implicated , so that i would have a life without him while he spent the rest of his in prison , and so now i have to live with that . sam : okay . well , you know , at the end of the day , what you tell the police is your decision . but if i were you , i would bring diane along when you make your statement . alexis : why ? sam : [ chuckles ] why ? because you either can confirm julian 's lie or tell the truth and implicate yourself . [ scene_break ] scott : once alexis gives her statement to the police , game over for you . julian : i do n't believe that . there 's got to be something you can do . scott : well , you have been charged as an accessory in your lunatic sister 's crimes , up to and including the death of morgan corinthos , and the kicker is that you kidnapped alexis of your own free will ! now , you do n't think that the new da is not gon na want to take a crack at you ? ! hornsby goofed it up , but da garcia -- she will be out for blood . julian : okay , okay . scotty , you got to have something up your sleeve here . come on . scott : i 've got nothing up my sleeve -- unless you want to recant your story ! julian : no . no , i did what i did , and ... i 'm the only one who should pay for it . [ scene_break ] sonny : any news on julian 's case ? dante : no new developments , but , uh ... [ door closes ] dante : ... if you ask me , i think we got a pretty airtight case . sonny : yeah ? dante : yeah , even ava was off her game today . sonny : i wish i was there to see that . [ exhales sharply ] dante : i do n't know if this is the best time for this , but i wanted to give you those . sonny : your brother 's medication ? [ bag crinkling ] sonny : [ sighs ] means the case is closed ? dante : this morning . sonny : what about the thugs ? they tell you how they got the -- these pills ? dante : no . the gentry brothers pled out . we have zero leverage against them . sonny : damn it . [ sighs ] i just -- i just wish i knew how these pills ended up at the floating rib . dante : yeah , me , too . sonny : dante , something you 're not telling me ? [ scene_break ] [ police radio chatter ] [ telephone ringing ] scott : you know , ava , your brother is gon na be the death -- death of me here ! i 'm -- i 'm gon na earn every penny on this case . ava : forget about julian . scott : and speaking of money , are you gon na -- can you pay me ? ava : yes , you 're gon na get your money . julian 's not going anywhere . scott : you 're gon na pay me ? ava : we have bigger problems right now . scott : well , now , there 's the ava i know and love . ava : hey , i have a serious problem . dante -- he was almost taunting me just now . he was telling me about how morgan 's pills are gon na be released . it 's like he knows that something 's up . scott : ava , i -- settle down . settle down , okay ? i took care of that . i told you that . ava : are you sure ? scott : yes . between you and your brother , you 're gon na give me a complex . have n't i proven to you that i 'm capable of handling these dirty little things ? ava : no , no , a - absolutely not , actually . scott : i swapped those placebos out . that bottle contains lithium . you have nothing to worry about . ava : except that dante 's giving that bottle to sonny right now as we speak . and whether it 's lithium in there or breath mints in there , sonny 's gon na want to know why it ended up at the floating rib , and he 's not gon na stop until he gets answers . [ scene_break ] sonny : you have any idea how morgan 's pills ended up at the floating rib ? dante : no . like i said , i was hoping i 'd get something out of the perps , but , uh , they are n't talking . sonny : what i ca n't understand is how ... morgan , the night he dies , leaves those -- his pills , and six months later , they 're still there . dante : it does not seem likely , right ? sonny : carly w - was convinced ... that there was something going on with the pills , that -- and she -- she wanted to find out what it was 'cause she felt like maybe he stopped taking the medication and that 's why he was spiraling out of control . and we were gon na get to -- to the bottom of it ... 'cause that 's what we do . we 're a ... we 're a great team . it 's amazing how things change . [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn , we got to talk about your father ! jax : josslyn 's at the stables . i told her i 'd pick her up later . carly : oh , you 're here ! oh ! i knew it . you know what ? just because sonny says , `` jump , `` does n't mean everyone has to say , `` how high ? `` right ? jax : sonny ? carly : yeah . sonny 's the one who tipped them off . he thought by hurting you , he would be hurting me , but it does n't matter 'cause you 're here and you 're not going anywhere , right ? right ? no . jax : it does n't matter how ice got their information . considering what i was accused of , they were well within their rights to detain me until they sent me back home . carly : no . i mean , it does n't make sense . you 're here . they let you go . why ? jax : 'cause i cut a deal . they agreed to let me go , provided i leave the country ... tonight ... and never return . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , you 're happy now ? that 's good . me -- i do n't know . i 'm a little worried about your grandmother ... 'cause she is in love with your -- oh , i ca n't even call him your grandfather . he 's in ... he 's -- h - his name is julian . she 's in love with julian . and while normally , loving someone would be okay ... i 'm just not sure about this .

[ scene_break ] dante : so claire walsh called me after carly testified , said if we do n't get michael on the stand , we 're gon na lose . lulu : so how 'd you find him ? dante : i got morgan to talk about how much he missed his brother . then it spilled that they 'd moved him to this place called the copa de oro . nice , huh ? using my brother who trusted me . lulu : oh , do n't let yourself feel bad about that . dante : ah , it 's easy for you to say . the whole flight down there , i kept tellin ' myself that bringing sonny to justice was what was best for morgan and michael , that whatever pain they were gon na go through because of it would be worth it , but then i get there . i find michael , and i find out he 's tellin ' me he killed claudia . lulu : well , we do n't know for certain that he 's telling the truth . he could be protecting sonny . dante : he 's got a shirt with blood on it . he says it 's the shirt he wore the night he hit claudia . all the other stuff he wore that night , sonny burned . for some reason , michael held on to that shirt . lulu : so you 're saying that he felt so guilty that he held on to proof ? dante : i do n't know . i mean , forensics 'll come back one way or the other , right ? but if michael 's telling the truth , i mean , if he killed claudia , i have no idea what i 'm gon na do next . [ scene_break ] claire : detective , please tell the jury why you have n't been able to serve a subpoena on michael corinthos . ronnie : sonny corinthos and his ex - wife carly , they 're michael 's parents . well , they claim he 's on a backpacking trip and he ca n't be reached . claire : do you have any reason to doubt that ? ronnie : michael 's been sequestered on a private island owned by his father . diane : objection , your honor . claire : i have photographs to corroborate detective dimestico 's statement , your honor . judge carroll : well , now -- diane : your honor , those photographs were never presented during discovery . judge carroll : then i deny them . claire : detective , can you please describe what 's in this photograph for the jury , please ? ronnie : yes . this is a surveillance photograph on a caribbean island owned by sonny corinthos . clearly has michael on the island with 2 guys who are known as sonny 's bodyguards , the giambetti brothers , max and milo . claire : is the photo time - stamped or dated ? ronnie : yes . it 's april 15 , 2010 , 2 : 24 p.m. see , when i tried to execute a search of the island in order to serve the subpoena , i was forcibly removed . that 's how desperate they are to not have this kid testify . diane : objection , your honor . claire : i have no further questions for this witness . judge carroll : detective dimestico 's comment after `` i was forcibly removed `` should be stricken from the record , and the jury will give it no weight . diane : detective dimestico , is this the first time that mr. corinthos ' private island has been under surveillance ? ronnie : i do n't believe so . diane : so there could literally be , oh , hundreds , thousands of photographs of michael on his father 's private island with 2 of his father 's employees , could n't there ? ronnie : no , those pictures were taken during this trial . diane : heh heh . yeah . yeah . well , answer me this , detective . if a prosecutor were desperate enough , how tough would it really be to change a date , time stamp on a photograph ? claire : i object , your honor . judge carroll : ms. miller , watch yourself . diane : i have no further questions for the prosecution 's scary surprise witness . claire : sonny corinthos ' ex - wife brought her baby into court , got on that stand and put up a heart - rending show merely for the purpose of manipulating our emotions . now , i thought that baby was just precious also . it 's a wonder she did n't bring a puppy , too . so we know you 're smart enough to see through a smoke screen and that a blonde lady in a pretty dress , with a baby does n't constitute fact . the facts are that sonny corinthos threatened to kill his wife , who was smaller and weaker than he , and he followed through with that threat the very same night . sonny corinthos believes he does n't have to play by the same rules as the rest of us . is n't it about time he 's learned he 's not above the law ? now i 'm asking you to reach a verdict based on the irrefutable facts , the physical evidence . i am asking you to find sonny corinthos once and for all guilty of murder .

[ scene_break ] luke : this little tango we do is going to get bloody and ugly if you cause lucky any more grief . helena : oh , quite the opposite . lucky has been cuckolded by that little tart too many times . now she 's carrying his brother 's child . i 'm just trying to spare your son more grief . luke : right , and i 'm marie , cross - dressing consort to the queen of romania . you would n't spare lucky anything . helena : well , if you insist , but if i get my way , you will definitely share in the benefits . luke : which would be ... helena : elizabeth is carrying my great - grandchild . now , nikolas has some absurd notion of sharing custody after the child is born . meanwhile , elizabeth is holding nikolas at arm 's length because of some delusional hope that she 'll get lucky back . luke : so far , i 'm not hearing my name in any of this . helena : just be patient . luke , we all know that what 's best for this new baby , this new cassadine , is that the baby be raised by cassadines as a cassadine . now , elizabeth has to deal with nikolas realistically or turn the child over to him outright , but as long as lucky is in the picture , elizabeth is going to cling to the hope that she can get him back , that she can play on his sympathies , that she 's hoping he will defend her . luke : well , that 's up to lucky . that 's not up to me or you . helena : luke , we are realists , you and i . now , look , i 'm not gon na live forever . luke : heh heh . well , that 's a relief . helena : why did i know you 'd say that ? i 'm not going to have another chance . and what does it mean to you ? i mean , what harm is it for you to help me to see that my great - grandson is reared as one of my own ? luke : [ laughs ] what harm is it ? are you serious ? oh , god . what are you up to , you insane woman ? helena : well , i 'm so glad i can still amuse you . [ scene_break ] lulu : so if michael killed claudia and you turn him in , what 's gon na happen ? dante : well , he 'll have been defending his mother and newborn baby sister . lulu : does that mean he 'd get off ? dante : suspended sentence , community service , and counseling , which he desperately needs . lulu : and sonny would go free . dante : sonny 's been getting away with murder for years . i mean , is he ever gon na pay ? is he ? lulu : well , somehow people keep covering for him , like you did when you got shot . dante : because i knew the case i had built against him . i was so sure he was gon na get convicted for killing claudia . and now michael . i mean , if i hand him over to the courts , sonny is a free man again . lulu : i do n't know . maybe the best thing to do is nothing . diane : `` once and for all , `` huh ? well , that pretty much sums it up . this trial has never been about justice . this trial has only been about one woman 's ambition , that woman , claire walsh , and her desire to bring down a famous man , an alleged mobster , at any cost . claire walsh put a child on the witness stand . claire walsh fomented speculation about an alleged witness who then never materialized . well , why should he ? michael corinthos iii never made any statement to anyone that he witnessed any killing . there has n't been one shred of evidence , no proof , nothing , that michael was anywhere near that cabin on that night . nothing . and that pretty much sums up the prosecution 's case . just so much smoke and mirrors . and there 's never been any attempt to hide the prejudice , a prejudice that claire walsh so clearly personifies , that a double standard applies when the defendant is sonny corinthos . ladies and gentlemen , there is a reason that justice is blind , and that is so that you and you and you and you and me , we all get a fair trial , regardless of rumor , speculation , headlines , reputation . the only thing that matters is the truth . my client , sonny corinthos , is not a perfect man , but you are not here to judge his life . you are here to determine innocence or guilt regarding one action on one night , and on that night , sonny corinthos saved lives , lives that were threatened by a crazed , vicious , vengeful woman . in that cabin on that night , sonny corinthos was not a murderer . he was a hero .

'cause that 's all you got . there is no weapon . brandon lowell walks away from that conversation alive and unharmed . you know , i could make a case for unprofessionalism with regard to you , because the higher ups tend to take a dim view of cops who misrepresent evidence in order to coerce a confession . ronnie : listen , i made sure michael 's lawyer was present before questioning . i did n't misrepresent a damn thing . we got tape here with michael confronting the victim , and then said victim shows up with 2 bullets in the back of his head , execution - style , i may add . it was a little sloppy , though . it was like someone trying to earn their stripes . diane : speculative and , i might add , defamatory . dante : look , ronnie , we do n't have enough evidence to hold michael , ok . so unless you want to confess to something after all ? jason : no . ronnie : you know what , why do n't you get out , ok ? the two of you need to decide which one of you need to get your affairs in order , because this is not going away . diane : careful , detective . your personal bias is showing . ronnie : you may want to stick around and consult with detective falconeri because this internal affairs investigation may happen sooner than you think . dante : look , i do n't give a damn what happens to jason , but if michael gets sent up to pentonville for another murder , we 'll never see him again . [ scene_break ] johnny : michael grew up the same way i did . he knows how this business works from the inside . he saw things by the time he was five , whether he consciously remembers them or not , that most adults never see in an entire lifetime , unless they 're cops or coroners . it hardens you . it skews your perception of reality . it shows you that both sides can be just as corrupt . lulu : oh , come on , you can do better than that tired argument that the other side is just as bad . that 's self justifying crap . criminals break laws , not all cops are bad . i know because i happen to be in love with one . johnny : yeah , one who went by the book and saw his little brother sent to prison for his trouble . ok , there are two choices . lulu : ok . johnny : leave your fate to a faithless law system or you can make your own justice . the choice is pretty easy for me , and i 'm guessing it 's getting pretty easy for michael . lulu : why do you get to decide for michael ? johnny : i do n't get to decide for him . he gets to decide for him . is n't that why we 're having this conversation ? lulu : no , we 're having this conversation because he 's 19 years old and he 's already been to prison . he starts up things with you and he gets caught for doing something illegal , he will go back . you do n't want to carry that guilt around , it 's heavy . you felt a lot of it when he was shot . do n't you want something better for michael than what you have ? johnny : i 'd say i 've done pretty well . lulu : yeah , ok , you have a nice apartment and nice things . that 's mob money . that does n't mean that you 're happy . johnny : is anybody really happy ? lulu : i 'm happy . yes , i have problems , fine , but i like myself , ok . and i can meet my own eyes in the mirror . i thought that you could do that , too , but you 've resurrected this attitude like you do n't give a damn about anything , but the truth is you 're lost . johnny : that 's your opinion . lulu : do n't make it like i 'm lying to myself . you went on trial for a murder to protect me . that 's not the act of someone who does n't give a damn . johnny : i always gave a damn about you . lulu : good , then listen to me . michael has a soul . if you want to help him , you leave him alone . [ scene_break ] kristina : mind if i join you ? ethan : it appears you already have . kristina : if you want me to leave , then i can -- ethan : no , no , no , you 're fine . i could use the company . kristina : is everything ok ? ethan : not really , no . kristina : is it anything that i can help with ? ethan : kick me . kristina : what ? ethan : no , seriously , kick me . i deserve it . kristina : ok . first of all , i would never kick you , even if you did deserve it . and second , i doubt that you do . ethan : i 'm sitting here like a selfish ass , feeling neglected and misunderstood while everyone around me is bleeding and devastated . it 's just nauseatingly self involved . kristina : in case you have n't noticed , i 'm the queen of selfish . i feel sorry for myself all day every day . i know it 's pointless and shallow , but i do it anyway . so feel free to wallow without being judged . ethan : you know , i like to think of myself as a generous person . i 'm not a do- gooder by any stretch , but i do lend a hand when there 's need of one . i try to forgive the faults in others because i have so , so many of my own . kristina : i 'd agree with all that . ethan : so when maya got a call from her family that she was needed back home , i was more than supportive . i drove her to the airport , i wished her well -- kristina : wait . maya 's gone ? [ scene_break ] brenda : i had no idea he was gon na get into any of this . and if i would have known he was gon na attack you , i never would have started the conversation . so i would like you to just leave . jax : i 'm sorry that i upset you , ok , but i would n't be much of a friend if i did n't tell you the truth . sonny : jax , she said leave . you do n't -- just go . just go . jax : you know , i watched carly agonize for years over michael being in a coma . i hope that you never have to go through that with lucian . brenda : could you go ? jax : just think about it . brenda : could you please go ?

[ scene_break ] ethan : you know , maya is an exemplary human being . she 's smart , loyal , ambitious . and , you know , part of what drives her is she 's a ward . you know , she wants to live up to the family legacy . so it only makes sense that when her family needed her , she 'd be there . kristina : what happened ? ethan : no idea . the wards appear to be closing ranks and no outsider is welcome . and that definitely includes her fly by night husband who i 'm increasingly sure she 's neglected to mention . kristina : maya 's family does n't know that you 're her husband ? ethan : i do n't know , really . she never brought up introducing me to the family . anytime the wards came up , she changes the subject . kristina : maybe she 's embarrassed . ethan : yeah . that would make sense . with her whole family of doctors and lawyers , what 's she gon na say , this is my husband the sometime bartender ? kristina : i did n't mean that maya would be ashamed of you . i mean , how could she be ? you 're awesome . ethan : well , that 's very kind . kristina : it 's also very true .

[ anthony laughing ] [ scene_break ] dante : look , i 've been rooting for you and michael since the get - go , ok . i think you 've been amazing for him . but you also had a life before him , a difficult one . you were a victim of domestic violence . and i know a lot of women in your situation get desperate to find a way to make that stop . abby : is there something you want to accuse me of , detective ? dante : brandon was stalking you . he beat you up . anyone could see how that would make you snap . abby : you think you understand me ? have you ever been in a relationship with someone who tries to kick your ass every time you leave ? or who manipulates your insecurities to the point where you think that 's all you 're worth ? do n't stand here armed with your crap that you could read in a pamphlet and think that you can draw some kind of conclusions about me . dante : all i 'm saying is that if you reached your limit and you did snap , you would n't be the first . courts are a lot more lenient these days . you have an eye witness to the physical abuse that brandon did to you . you have a paper trail at the pcpd and the hospital of the attempted rape . you can come out of this whole . michael , on the other hand , another murder charge and he is done for life . and do n't kid yourself and think that sonny can protect him . abby : you 're supposed to be protecting him . but from what i 've seen , you 're not very good at it . that night when brandon almost raped me , you told me that if i pressed charges they 'd stick . well , guess what ? they did n't . he sailed right out of jail from under your nose . dante : that 's because you did n't listen to my advice , abby , and you dropped the charges . abby : he was already out on bail . he was threatening to take michael into court . you know , i could n't risk anything happening to michael . dante : you 're risking that right now . abby : you are part of brandon 's investigation team here . why do n't you turn up another suspect ? dante : why do you think i 'm here , abby ? [ scene_break ] michael : abby did n't kill brandon . jason : does she have an alibi ? michael : do you ? neither do i . it does n't prove anything . jason : you have n't answered the question . you know abby did n't kill brandon why ? just because she says so ? michael : she would never let me take the fall for something that she did . she would n't , jason . jason : ok , i believe that . michael : yeah ? then why are we having this conversation ? jason : maybe abby 's hoping it does n't get that far . michael : you know , it sounds like you 've already decided that she 's guilty . jason : i 've got to be prepared . michael : prepared for protecting me at all costs , right ? 'cause god knows i ca n't take care of myself . look , do n't even think about trying to pin a murder on abby to save me . i will not let that happen . jason : i understand that you want abby protected , ok . and for your sake , i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to keep her safe . but i need your help . michael : ok , just tell me what to do . jason : this is not gon na go away . the cops are gon na keep pushing . they 're gon na pressure abby , they 're gon na pressure you . just like ronnie always does , he 's gon na push your buttons about abby . you can not let him get to you . michael : ok , i hear you . i 'll beware . you would have done it . jason : done what ? michael : confessed yourself to take the heat off of me . jason : it does n't matter , i did n't do anything . and do n't get any crazy ideas , ok ? because nobody , especially abby , wants you confessing to something that you did n't do . michael : look , all my life i 've known how to act in an honorable way . you taught me that . i 'm never gon na do anything you would n't do .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so , samantha is taking in a foster son named rafe , and so she thought she would help him get settled in tonight and devote her time to him , so she asked if i could take care of danny . ellie : oh . i thought you were leaving town on a case . spinelli : well , not until tomorrow morning . and , believe me , i - i - i 'm still highly aware that you do n't want children , so i 'm not -- ellie : damian , stop . stop . i 've chosen to remain childless , because i do n't want to exacerbate the overpopulation of planet earth . i have not objection to children who are already here . in fact , i like kids a lot , and even if i did n't , which , again , i do , danny would be nearly impossible to resist . spinelli : so , uh , he can stay with us tonight ? ellie : under one condition . spinelli : okay . what 's that ? ellie : you have to help me figure out what maxie 's hiding about dante and lulu 's baby . [ scene_break ] dante : it 's a long flight from athens , huh ? lulu : i guess . dante : well , we 're almost on the ground , and when we are , we -- we 'll be in the city , and maybe seeing all that stuff will bring some memories back . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm not sure this is a good idea . luke : well , she 's his wife . he 's entitled to talk to her . laura : yes , but she 's overwhelmed . i do n't want him to upset her any further . luke : laura , he loves her . he 's walked through fire to find her . laura : i know . and sometimes that kind of love can feel like pressure . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , lulu . we used to spend a lot of time on the waterfront , on this one pier , in particular , and ... i do n't know , again , maybe it 's just something you 'll see and -- and some things will start to come back to you . lulu : i 'm sorry , i 'm -- i 'm really tired , david . dante : wh -- it 's , uh , dante . lulu : right . but i - i 'm still tired . dante : you 're not tired , lulu . you 're scared and confused , and when we get home , you 're gon na feel better . lulu : port charles , new york . dante : right . where there 's people who love you and the rest of our families and a bunch of friends . lulu : but see , the only person that i can remember ... is the guy who supposedly kidnapped me . dante : okay , great . well , let 's go with that . let 's stick with some positive things . we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get off this plane , we 're gon na be back home , you 're gon na remember things , and you 're gon na remember that we were happy together , because of -- especially right now , because of our baby . lulu : baby ? wh - what are you talking about ? what baby ? [ scene_break ] aj : are you seriously still upset that michael slept with brenda ? i mean , come on . he 's a grown man . let it go . carly : oh , right . because michael banged a supermodel . who cares that she used to be his stepmother ? man , you make my skin crawl . aj : okay , you know what ? you are obsessed . carly : [ chuckles ] aj : why are you still looking for brenda ? i thought you guys already had it out . carly : i 'm gon na run her ass out of town , since sonny refuses to kill her . [ scene_break ] sonny : i knew that dante , luke , and laura had made it to the island , and i was pretty sure they were gon na find lulu , but there was something else that happened , and i -- i ca n't even wrap my head around it . olivia : what is this other thing ? what -- this other thing you keep talking about -- what ? sonny : nothing . you do n't even have to worry about it . i do n't even want you involved in it . olivia : well [ scoffs ] sonny , i do worry about it . you know , we got a son together . we got a -- we got a grandbaby on the way . sonny : right . right . olivia : so , anything that affects you is very likely to affect them , so ... sonny : not this . olivia : wh -- okay . are you gon na just make me stand her badgering you about it and keep on and on and on with you ? because you know i will wear you down . sonny : are you gon na keep asking me , or are you gon na let go of this ? olivia : sonny , i know when you get like this -- when you 're all dodgy -- and when you 're dodging around , you 're covering up something that 's very painful . and as i 'm looking at you right now , i can see something is eating you alive . so , why do n't you just tell me what it is ? sonny , it 's me . you know you can trust me . sonny : the night of the nurses ' ball , brenda slept with michael . [ scene_break ] michael : you 're saying we did n't ... have sex ? but we -- we were in bed together . brenda : i know how it looked . um ... but -- but trust me . we never had sex . i -- you never touched ... me . michael : okay , brenda , i do n't understand . up until now , you 've been acting like we slept together . brenda : yeah , i was lying . michael : why ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , things between maxie and myself have been somewhat volatile , and even more so between you and her . i - i would n't want her to think that we 're prying . ellie : [ sighs ] okay , well , what about dante and lulu ? [ scene_break ] lulu : are you telling me that we have a kid together ? dante : no . no , we do n't have a kid yet , but soon -- lulu : oh , my god . what ? am i -- am i pregnant ? and nobody told me ? ! dante : no , no . okay , stop . stop . lulu : then what are you talking about ? dante : we 're not pregnant . we have a surrogate . maxie 's carrying our child . lulu : who is maxie ? dante : she 's your best friend . you could n't carry our child . she offered to do it for us . we wanted a baby bad enough , so we decided to go ahead with having a surrogate . lulu : i do n't know what you 're talking about ! okay , i - i do n't know maxie . i do n't know if i want to have a baby , and i definitely do n't know you . dante : okay , yeah . i get it . i get it . i just thought that ... lulu : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . no . i just -- i - i - i ... dante : look , i 'm sorry . i thought -- i do n't know what i thought , okay ? lulu : [ voice breaking ] i do n't remember any of this , okay ? i -- the more you keep talking to me , the more i feel like i ca n't breathe . laura : dante . dante : yeah . laura : let 's switch seats . dante : sure . [ sighs ] i just -- i 'm just trying to help . lulu : [ sobbing ] luke : i know , son . i know . laura : shh . that 's okay . it 's okay , honey . it 's all right . everything 's gon na be okay . lulu : how ? laura : lulu , i promise you that everything is gon na be all right , okay ? [ scene_break ] ellie : whatever it is maxie 's hiding , do n't you think dante and lulu have the right to know everything about their baby ? i mean , would n't you want to know if it was your child ? spinelli : tell me what you know so far . [ scene_break ] maxie : you seriously want me back at crimson ? connie : yeah , well , like you said , the old connie promised you a job here if you planned my wedding to sonny . maxie : yeah , but then you blew up sonny 's life by revealing you were already married to johnny . not only did you humiliate the man you said you loved , you made me look like an inept , low - rent wedding planner , and i did n't even get my job back . connie : maxie , i acknowledge that i took advantage of you , and i just -- i want to make it up to you . maxie : okay , how do i know you 're not trying to take advantage of me again ? what 's the saying ? first time , shame on you . second time , i 'm a total idiot ? connie : maxie , i 'm offering you a job , not a bomb . okay . i do n't want anything from you in return except to come to work and to give me some creative ideas for crimson . i wo n't be bitchy or underhanded or treat you the way old connie did . maxie : yeah ? what about the way kate treated me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : michael slept with brenda ? sonny : yeah . olivia : no . who would even start a rumor like that ? sonny : it 's true . michael told me himself . olivia : oh , god . sonny : michael 's girlfriend broke up with him . he was upset . he -- he went to the lobby bar , got drunk . brenda was there . she took him to her room . carly walked in and saw them -- michael and brenda -- in bed together . olivia : i ca n't even -- i ca n't even im -- you know , actually , i can -- i can imagine . if i would have walked in on dante at -- sonny : okay , shh . olivia : if i would have had walked in on dante at michael 's age in bed with some woman that used to be his stepmother , i would have -- i would have picked up the nearest blunt object . i would have taken her freakin ' head off . you know i 'm not lying . sonny : that was carly 's first impulse , but she stopped because of michael . olivia : when then she 's a much better woman than i am . i admire her . sonny : well , do n't give her too much credit . you know why ? because she asked me to kill brenda . olivia : how hard was it for you to resist ? [ scene_break ] michael : you lied . we were both grieving over people that we lost , we both drank way too much -- that 's sort of the last thing i remember . brenda : that 's -- that 's really all that happened . michael : you made it seem like we went to your room and that we had sex . we slept together . why -- you tell me that did n't happen , that you lied about the whole thing ? brenda : i lied . i lied . i 'm sorry . michael : why ? why would you want me to think that i - i slept with you ? brenda : because i wanted to stick it to your mother . [ scene_break ] carly : always a pleasure talking to you , aj , but i 'm gon na go find a pedophile tramp who messed with my son . aj : fine . unbelievable . look , uh , you can put the torches away , all right ? i 'll spare you the search . carly : you 're not gon na talk me out of it . aj : no , no . i - i know where brenda is . carly : you do ? aj : mm - hmm . carly : where ? aj : with michael . [ scene_break ] ellie : oh , what do you think , danny ? are you gon na grow up to be a p.i . someday ? follow in the footsteps of your mommy and your illustrious godfather ? spinelli : well , danny can be anything he wants to be , but i would be honored and gratified to teach him the ins and outs of sleuthing . ellie : i could really use your expertise on that subject . spinelli : right . well , i am at your service . present the facts . ellie : okay . one -- maxie 's hiding a secret about the baby . two -- dr. westbourne shares that secret . and three -- the mystery is so important that maxie 's father , wsb agent frisco jones , felt the need to silence dr. westbourne in order to ensure that dante and lulu were kept in the dark . spinelli : frisco 's involvement does imply that this secret in a grave one . ellie : so grave that maxie lapsed into paroxysms of fear and hostility when i probed her about it . and earlier today in the hospital , when we had a chance meeting , she wildly overreacted and accused me of stalking . spinelli : gauging from maxie 's level of paranoia , we can assume that the secret is earth - shattering , life - altering , and irreversible . right , young sir ? so , what could it be ? what could it be ? ellie : oh , my god . damian , i know what it is . [ scene_break ] connie : maxie , i 'm gon na tell you something about kate . she did not have it easy . she was running from a very painful and hurtful life . she was constantly afraid that it was gon na catch up to her , and her facade of order and control was gon na crumble , so she focused on the future , on success , and she became demanding and -- and horrible , because she did n't want to backslide into the chaos . but i do n't have to be like that anymore , and i do n't have to lash out at others like connie did , because i 'm whole . maxie : so , you 're like a kinder , gentler version of yourself ? connie : well , i 'm not a pushover , and i 'm not a marshmallow , okay ? i just have really big ambitions for crimson . i want to take it to the top , and i think that you can help me do that , maxie , because you have a really good eye , and you have some good ideas . okay , you have a lot of really good ideas . and i would love it if you 'd help me . maxie : i did really love working here . connie : great . that 's great . there 's just one other thing we have to talk about . maxie : i was waiting for the other designer shoe to drop . connie : we need to talk about your baby problem . [ scene_break ] olivia : you did n't kill brenda , did you ? sonny : no . olivia : okay . i 'm just -- sonny : i mean ... olivia : it 's not that she does n't deserve it . i mean , but it would have been pretty tough on michael , i would imagine . god , that poor kid must be so confused . sonny : when michael told me what happened , i thought i was gon na be sick , but i did n't want michael to see how upset i was , 'cause he was already feeling guilty . i did n't want to make it worse . olivia : so you forgave him . sonny : what 's there to forgive ? he was -- he was drunk . he 's vulnerable . he made a mistake . michael did n't know what he was doing , but brenda sure did . and then i find out what really went down -- that she had no remorse , she felt no regret , and she threw it in carly 's face -- i - i [ sighs ] anyway , look , i wanted -- i wanted to find brenda . that 's what i was gon na do , okay ? then you called , told me that dante and lulu were due in , so i came straight here . olivia : so , if i would n't have called you , you would have gone and found brenda and done what ? [ gasps ] oh , god . there they are . [ laughs ] baby . dante : hi . okay . olivia : i 'm so glad to see you . i was so worried about you . let me get a look at you . god , you look like death warmed over . dante : look , there 's something we need to tell you . hey . olivia : lulu ! hi ! lulu : ugh , no , do n't ! olivia : honey , what 's wrong ? lulu : i do n't know who the hell you people are ! [ scene_break ] carly : brenda 's with michael ? aj : yeah , yeah . i was just with them . well , i left 'cause they wanted to be alone . you know , i got to tell you -- they really are cute together . they 're all lovey - dovey . carly : where are they ? where are they ? ! aj : um , they are , um ... did you really think i was gon na tell you ? [ scene_break ] michael : so , you made it seem like i slept with my dad 's ex - wife to get back at my mom ? that 's , uh -- that 's extreme . brenda : i know it sounds that way , but for me , it did n't -- it did n't feel that way , because your mother destroyed my engagement to jax . it 's because of your mother that jax left me . michael : brenda -- brenda : would you like to know what your mother did ? your mother sneaked into sonny 's house , eavesdropped on our private conversation , then she ran back to jax and blew the whole thing out of proportion . michael : my mom did n't lie . you were with my dad . brenda : oh , your mother did n't lie . that 's amazing . listen , yes , i was there , michael . you realize that 's none of your mother 's business . your mother blew the whole thing out of proportion with jax . listen , and i 'm at the nurses ' ball , and i 'm devastated because i have lost everything . once again , your mother has trashed my whole life . and then , there you are , up in my suite , you do n't remember anything , and it was perfect . michael : but i woke up in your bed . so , if we did n't sleep together , then what -- what happened ? brenda : you were really drunk , and so i was n't gon na let you drive home , and , uh ... i took you up to my room to help you sober up . you were really upset about your girlfriend . michael : she 's not coming back to me or port charles . i need another drink . brenda : no , no , no , no . you -- you do n't -- you do n't need another drink . you just -- here you go . you need some coffee and a cold shower . here you go . michael : no , do n't . i 'm fine . brenda : no , no . you 're not -- you 're not fine . it 's gon na make you feel better . i promise , okay ? i 'll go start the shower . you drink that . you need to sober up . drink that . when i came back from the bathroom , that 's when you gave me the opportunity to come up with the lie . michael : how ? brenda : well , you had taken off all of your clothes and passed out in my bed , so i figured i 'd let you sleep it off there . i went in the bathroom and undressed and laid down on the couch and tried to sleep there . michael : you 're lying . [ scene_break ] maxie : what baby problem ? why would you call it a problem ? have you been talking to ellie trout ? connie : ellie trout . was that the girl that i hit with my car ? maxie : yes , that 's ellie , and she 's completely fine now , so do n't even worry about her . why -- why are you calling this a baby problem ? connie : well , i was simply referring to the impact that this child 's gon na have on your work . i 'm gon na give you maternity leave . that 's a given , but how do i know that you 're gon na come back ? i mean , many women say that they 're gon na come back and have a career after having the baby , but once they lay their eyes on the little nugget , they get all googly . i mean , i do n't even get what that 's about . why do these intelligent women decide that they 're just gon na change their lives for the baby ? suddenly , they 're -- they 're staying home and they 're covered in baby puke and they 're falling in love with this little angel , and they want to be around and be there with the baby daddy . and i can -- i can see that happening with you , maxie . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , you 've ascertained what maxie 's hiding ? ellie : well , i hope i 'm mistaken , and i feel terrible for dante and lulu , and no wonder maxie does n't want to tell them . spinelli : well , what ? what is it ? ellie : obviously , there is a problem with the baby . spinelli : ellie , are you certain ? ellie : i mean , it 's just a hypothesis , but it fits all of the parameters . ever since the embryo was implanted , maxie 's been very reluctant to express her fears about the baby to dante and lulu . spinelli : hence her call to me on christmas eve . she came to me for comfort rather than talking to dante and lulu . ellie : and , on new year 's eve , when she fell -- the same night you two slept together -- look , i know we decided to put that incident in the past , but i 'm just pointing it out , because she did n't want dante and lulu to know about the fall , either . spinelli : yeah , but she said the fall was consequential . in fact , dr. westbourne checked her out and said that the baby was fine . ellie : well , dr. westbourne must have found a problem in utero with the fetus when dante and lulu were n't around . and now maxie 's terrified to tell them . spinelli : if this is true , that -- i mean , it would be devastating . come here , bud . ellie : so , she recruited her father to help silence dr. westbourne . spinelli : i mean , is there some other reason that frisco could have involved himself ? ellie : damian , what else could be so serious that maxie would n't want dante and lulu to know ? [ scene_break ] olivia : lulu . honey , of course , you recognize me . i 'm olivia . i 'm your mother- in - law . that 's sonny . that 's your father - in - law . lulu : okay , no one is listening to me . i do n't know you people , and i do n't want to . laura : i 'll go . i 'll go . olivia : dante , i 'm sorry . did that just happen , or am i having another hallucination ? dante : no . it -- it happened . look , i wanted to tell you when i called you , but i thought she would be better by the time we got home . luke : stavros cassadine almost killed her . dante : trauma has -- i do n't know -- messed up her memory . sonny : obviously , she does n't recognize me or olivia . luke : well , it is n't just you guys . she does n't recognize any of us . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm not lying . i - i was lying before , but i 'm telling you the truth now . michael : you did n't sleep on the couch . when my mom walked in , you were in bed with me . brenda : yeah , that 's -- that 's what i wanted . i wanted carly to walk in on us together in bed . michael : h - how did you do that ? what did you do ? brenda : in the morning , you were still passed out in the bed . and i had been up all night thinking about everything that i had lost with jax because of carly . i just snapped . you know , i - i just wanted payback , and i knew your mother would freak out if she thought we 'd been together . so , i decided that i was going to find a way to get your mother up into my room . and it just came to me . hi . uh , can i get the rise and shine breakfast , uh , sent to my room for two people ? yeah , i - i know that mr. jacks checked out yesterday , but , um [ clears throat ] yeah , actually , could you just charge everything to carly jacks ? we 're really good friends . please ask her . okay , thank you . bye . and , um -- and then i got into bed with you . and i waited for your mother to arrive . the rest is history . michael : so , mom was right . you were using me . [ scene_break ] carly : tell me where brenda and michael are . that woman is never gon na touch my son again . aj : carly , that is n't your decision to make anymore . now , pay attention very closely -- michael is a grown man . i mean , come on . how embarrassing to have your mother , you know , uh , barge in on you and police your sex life ? carly : that bitch is exploiting our son ! aj : uh , we should all get exploited like that . carly : you 're a pig . aj : hey , come on , look . i respect my son , and you are not gon na cause another uncomfortable scene , so forgive me , but i just -- i ca n't tell you where the new lovers are . whoa . hey . ho . ho . come on . carly : [ pointing scissors at his crotch ] tell me . tell me where they are or i 'm gon na make you a falsetto who will never make love or father another child again . [ scene_break ] connie : see , there you go . you 're getting sentimental about the baby already . maxie : no , no . that 's not it . i [ sighs ] this is n't my baby . connie : what ? ! what ? ! whose baby is it ? maxie : it 's , uh , dante 's and lulu 's . i 'm carrying it for them . connie : should i know that ? i should know that . i 'm so sorry . i 've been focused on other things . you 're a surrogate ? maxie : yeah , i am . connie : so , wait . you 're gon na go through nine months of misery and fat and bloating and you 're not even gon na keep the child ? maxie : no . dante and lulu are gon na raise the baby . connie : well , that 's good news as far as i 'm concerned , because you do n't need maternity leave , so you can just have the baby and hand it right off to them . i guess it makes it easier that it 's not flesh and blood , right ? you do n't get so attached . [ scene_break ] dante : she -- she does n't even remember who maxie is or that she 's carrying out child . i mean , she freaked out when i told her we were gon na be parents . sonny : i 'm sorry , dante . olivia : well , there 's got to be some kind of treatment to reverse what stavros did . there 's got to be a way to -- to help lulu remember . luke : well , we 're gon na take her over to general hospital . we 're hoping that dr. drake can come up with something , i hope . olivia : [ sighs ] oh , god , honey . i - i am so sorry . dante : i 'm just -- i 'm really worried about her . i mean , it 's her , you know ? you can tell with her reactions , but she 's surrounded by people who are strangers to her , and she 's terrified , and i understand that , and that 's why she 's pushing everyone away , but she 's trying to handle it all by herself . [ scene_break ] laura : i know this is n't easy , honey , but dante 's parents did n't mean to upset you . lulu : no , i get it . it 's not their fault . they want me to be someone that i - i ca n't be . laura : they love you just like your dad and me , like dante . we -- we all just want you to be yourself . that 's all . lulu : yeah , i - i want that . i -- believe me , i - i want to make you all happy and be this person that you want , but i do n't know her , okay ? i - i do n't know myself . laura : okay . please , do n't run away again . you could get lost . lulu : see , that is it . that is what i am . i 'm lost . laura : come here . it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , luke ? seeing your daughter go through this -- it 's -- it 's got to be tough . i 'm sorry . luke : it 's just so bizarre . you know , after what we went through to find her and get her back , and now it 's like ... she is n't lulu . sonny : i understand more than you know . [ scene_break ] connie : why all the drama ? is it the hormones , or are you really attached to someone else 's baby ? maxie : no , i am giving this baby to dante and lulu . that 's the plan , and i 'm fine . connie : you sure ? maxie : yes . connie : okay , because you 're not gon na be good to me or crimson if you 're gon na burst into tears every five minutes . maxie : i wo n't . i promise . connie : so , we have a deal ? maxie : yeah . connie : great ! welcome to crimson . do n't look so excited . okay . [ both chuckle ] connie : i promise i 'm not gon na be as mean to you as old kate or connie , okay ? uh ! see you tomorrow . maxie : okay , great . connie : okay . and if you 're not here at 8 : 30 a.m. sharp , do n't bother coming at all . maxie : some things never change . connie : i heard that . [ scene_break ] aj : [ sighs , groans ] carly : what 's it gon na be , aj -- brenda 's location or the little that 's left of your manhood ? aj : okay , now , think this through , because if you do this , you 'll never get another chance with me . carly : you 're disgusting . where are they ? tell me or i 'm gon na put you out of commission . aj : okay , all right . relax . relax . they 're at kelly 's . they 're just going public with the relationship , innocently getting to know each other better , okay ? carly : there 's nothing innocent about brenda . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm sorry . i was using you . it 's not for the reason you -- you think . it 's -- i was -- i was truly just trying to get back at carly . michael : and my dad and i were just collateral damage . brenda : i , uh -- michael , i would never do anything to hurt your relationship with your father , and if i have hurt you and sonny , i - i - i hope you can forgive me . michael : [ sighs ] well , if you can forgive me for getting sloppy drunk and passing out in your bed , then , yeah . [ sighs ] brenda : that 's okay . michael : look , thank you for telling me . it 's obviously a very big relief that we did n't , uh ... you know , do anything . brenda : yeah . listen , i know you probably do n't want to hear this right now , but you are gon na meet a really great girl one day , and she 's gon na completely make you forget your broken heart , and she will be the luckiest girl on the planet . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : if your theory is correct and there is indeed something wrong with maxie 's baby , i - i ca n't even fathom it . ellie : i ca n't , either . spinelli : well , i mean , so maybe we 're blowing this out of proportion . ellie : oh , i hope so . but it makes it all the more important for us to pursue this . damian , we have to find out what 's wrong with the baby . maxie : are you talking about my baby ? are you still harping on some imaginary secret about my baby , ellie ? ellie : no . maxie : really ? ellie : no . maxie , you misunderstood . maxie : no , i do n't think so . ellie : we were talking about this baby . damian 's watching baby daniel , and we think he has a touch of rhinitis . maxie : what ? spinelli : oh , uh , ellie 's just saying we -- we fear little daniel may have a bit of a cold . [ chuckles ] maxie , is everything okay ? maxie : i 'm just tired . that 's all . [ chuckles ] ellie : close call . spinelli : yeah , look . i 'm not comfortable with this . we -- we should n't involve ourselves . ellie : damian , i ca n't let this go . i just -- i ca n't . the fate of an innocent child hangs in the balance , and so does the fate of its parents .

tracy : reading ? you ? ned : yes . i read . tracy : audiobooks do n't count as reading . is n't paper a little old fashioned for you ? ned : it 's an old - fashioned book . henry james . have you ever read `` washington square `` ? it 's a timeless tale of a naive heiress who falls prey to a degenerate fortune hunter . you might find it illuminating . tracy : saw the movie . i think montgomery clift really loved olivia de havilland and her unibrow , but she was too blinded by her past to see it . i suffer no such affliction . ned : you want to suffer ? keep doing what you 're doing . tracy : i take it you did not declare a truce with luke ? ned : before or after he threatened to kill me ? [ scene_break ] kiki : i 'm sorry . i feel so lame . i 'm supposed to be supporting michael , and it turns out i 'm the one that needs backup . morgan : no , hey . do n't worry about it . there 's no way i 'd let you come in here by yourself , so he can put his hands all over you again . kiki : do you think i 'm overreacting ? i mean , he would n't hit on me again here , right ? morgan : well , you do n't know that , and you 're not gon na have to find out , 'cause i 'm not leaving your side . kiki : [ chuckles ] would my mother be okay with that ?

[ scene_break ] luke : so you keep your mouth shut about my plans for sonny . otherwise little emma 's gon na pay the price . do we understand each other , buddy boy ? [ door opens ] [ door closes ] sonny : everything okay ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : emma , why are you so upset ? i thought you wanted a little brother ? emma : i do . patrick : then what 's the problem , sweetie ? emma : i do n't like being tricked . patrick : baby , nobody 's trying to trick you . emma : how do i know that ? it happened before . sabrina : when ? emma : when daddy and britt were supposed to have a baby . supposed to give me a baby brother then . everyone said so . but then when the baby came , you were n't the daddy . and i did n't get my baby brother . so i know it 's just gon na happen all over again . patrick : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you know , cameron did something like this not that long ago . he was upset about emma , and he made it all the way to kelly 's . nikolas : i 'm sure you remained perfectly calm . elizabeth : are you kidding ? i was a basket case . luckily ric found him and everything was okay . nikolas : ross was supposed to take him directly to school . and if something happened , they did n't make it , something happened to the car , why did n't ross contact me right away ? i 'm telling you , this is more than just a `` boys will be boys `` thing . there 's something else going on . [ scene_break ] luke : hello , old friend . do n't tell me you 're here to extend condolences over junior 's passing . sonny : no , i 'm here for michael . luke : oh . yeah . well , i 'm sure your namesake will appreciate the support . sonny : what about you , spencer ? you here to pay your respects to aj ? luke : he is . and i 'm proud of him . i think , uh ... this whole idea of people dying has sort of shaken spencer up . sonny : why is that ? luke : well , he and i were just having a heart - to - heart about the fleeting nature of life . sonny : all right . luke : and this -- this recent passing of aj just reminds us all that ... death comes for everybody . does n't matter how rich you are or pious or even how young . sonny : i do n't think that 's an appropriate conversation to have with a kid . luke : well , not for any kid , but this guy 's pretty special . he 's exceptional . he 's bright . he 's mature beyond his age . i think sugarcoating the issue does him a disservice . i think he 's ready to understand that people leave this world every day , even people younger than aj . even children . it 's sad , but true . right , spencer ? spencer : wrong . that 's not what we were talking about . we were talking about you , uncle sonny . [ scene_break ] tracy : you misunderstood . luke has a habit of speaking in hyperbole . ned : that 's what i thought . but he made it very clear . he meant it . tracy : mm - hmm . and you 're absolutely positive he was not posturing . he actually threatened to kill you . ned : mm - hmm . right after he tore up the prenup that i advised you to have him sign . tracy : if he tore up the prenup , it 's because we discussed it and decided it was n't necessary . ned : because he manipulated you into backing down . tracy : oh , please , ned . would you give me some credit ? ned : your fiancé is out to rob you blind , and when i promised to stop him , he threatened to kill me . tracy : i told you he did not mean it . ned : it was n't posturing . it was n't hyperbole . luke meant it . so now i 'm forced to wonder -- if he 's capable of using violence against me , what is he capable of doing to people who are , let 's just say ... less equipped to take him on . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , i 'm sorry . that came off a little rude . i 'm just warning you that my mother has a jealous streak . morgan : okay , well , she has no reason to be jealous , 'cause ava and i are n't together anymore . kiki : oh , of course not . and mayor lomax knew nothing about those lane closures on the port charles bridge .

[ beep ] ava : morgan . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carlos : i do n't want to talk about it . franco : that 's cool . we do n't have to talk about it if you do n't want to talk about it . i mean , i already know . i read about it in the newspaper . you snuck into aj quartermaine 's mansion . you tried to kill him , right ? carlos : what part of `` i do n't want to talk about it `` do n't you understand ? franco : okay , relax . i did n't mean to bug you . i just thought maybe we could relate , you know ? carlos : yeah . okay . franco : okay ? carlos : yeah , why not ? franco : great . carlos : i 'll start . franco : okay . carlos : i 'm in jail . uh , you 're in jail . that 's pretty much all we got in common . there . we related . franco : no , carlos . there is a deeper connection to us than this accidental geography . our brotherhood transcends that . carlos : oh , yeah ? and why is that , brother ? franco : well , because you and i are in jail for the same reason . we 're here because of ava jerome . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , you think you can hang up on me ? i do n't love anybody that much . you do n't want to tell me what 's going on with my daughter , i 'll find out for myself . carly : well , well , well . ava : carly . carly : ava . ava : did i catch you lurking outside my room ? carly : [ laughs ] no , i am on my way to aj 's funeral . ava : as am i. i 'd offer you a ride , but i despise you .

[ scene_break ] franco : here is the deal , carlos . you and i are in the same sad fraternity of ava jerome 's castoffs and pawns . i mean , do you really think that i would be here if it were not for ava jerome ? carlos : [ sighs ] i do n't know your life . you do n't know mine . franco : i was just making art in my hotel room , what the neolithic cops in this town call `` vandalism . `` heaven help the philistines of western upstate new york . i was just trying to launch my second comeback . i would n't have to launch a second comeback if ava jerome had not botched the first one . carlos : i thought that you tried to pass off someone else 's paintings as your own . franco : oh , that was just performance art , my man . that was a comment on the nature of perception and the value of name . people place way too much value on name , not enough value on content . carlos : hey , hey , hey . you 're supposed to be some sort of master manipulator , right ? franco : i do n't know about that . carlos : can i ask you a question ? franco : [ sighs ] yeah . okay . sure . carlos : are you trying to be boring on purpose ? franco : okay ? see , ava jerome is the master manipulator , not me . you know , ava jerome could have spun that hot mess of an art show into millions for me , but did she ? no . and do you know why ? carlos : i do n't know . franco : i do n't know why , either , and i guess that that 's my point . the only person who really understand why ava does anything is ava , you know ? maybe she made millions off of me and was tired of making money off of me . she never shared any of it with me . maybe she was just humiliating me for sport . here 's the only thing i know for sure . she screwed me , carlos . just like she 's screwing you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : emma , i know you were really disappointed when you did n't get the baby brother you wanted before , but this time is completely different . my baby is definitely your little brother . emma : are you really , really , really sure ? sabrina : sure as i can be . patrick : do you believe us ? emma : i suppose . patrick : you suppose ? does that mean you can be happy about your little brother ? emma : [ giggles ] yes ! i 'm getting a baby brother . patrick : you 're getting a baby brother ! sabrina : yay ! patrick : yay .

[ sighs ] sabrina : i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry about that . patrick : there 's nothing that you need to be sorry for . sabrina : i should have just told you that the baby was yours from the get - go , and instead i lied to you and emma that carlos was the father . patrick : i understand why you lied to us . and i 'm okay with it . you know what , in time , emma 's gon na be okay with it , too . sabrina : even so , it just caused problems . patrick : it 's nothing that we ca n't handle , okay ? we 're gon na be all right . plus carlos is the one that lied , not you . he 's gon na have to keep lying if he 's gon na avoid prison . sabrina : what ? patrick : have you not heard ? sabrina : i worked a double and then i came straight here . patrick : sabrina , i 'm sorry . i would n't have said anything , but i thought you already knew . sabrina : wait , knew what ? patrick : [ sighs ] carlos was arrested . he 's been implicated in aj quartermaine 's murder . [ scene_break ] franco : so , i 've known ava a long time . this is just like her to get somebody else to do her dirty work . come on . we 're talking years , here . long before she was gallery girl or gun moll gangster chick gone wild . and i have been exactly where you are right now . i have been ava 's dupe . carlos : [ scoffs ] franco : for 21 years , she allowed me -- no , encouraged me to believe that we had a daughter together , and do you know why ? do you know why ? carlos : i do n't know . why ? franco : because it suited her . and then when that was no longer necessary , when that -- when that fiction was unsupportable , she just pulled the rug out from under me and she did n't care what it did to me , she did n't care what it did to my daughter . oops , oops , excuse me . her daughter . that 's ava . that 's ava right there , always looking out for number one . you do n't think a woman with her resources , with her means , would n't spring you ? come on ! her attorney is my attorney . and getting mobsters off of murder charges , that 's diane 's bread and butter , and yet here you sit . carlos : yeah . yeah , in a cell across from you . how come your big - time lawyer has n't sprung you yet . franco : well , because sadly i can no longer afford my big - time lawyer -- because of ava ! if you 're in here and ava 's out there , it can only mean one thing -- that it 's good for ava ! because if you were n't in here , then ava would be in here . did i get that right ? oh , i got that right . ava put you up to shooting aj , did n't she ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : carlos could not have shot aj quartermaine . this is not the man that i know . patrick : sabrina , he 's a mob enforcer . it 's what they do . i wish i did n't know first hand , but -- sabrina : i know . i know what he does , and i know that he was capable of hurting people , but this ? [ scoffs ] and what they 're saying about the break - in ? no ! no , carlos swore to me that he -- he had nothing to do with it , and i took him to be a man of his word . at least with me . patrick : when did he tell you that ? sabrina : oh , well , i guess you might as well know . [ sighs ] carlos came into the hospital a few months ago and he had a big gash on his head , and it was bleeding , so i patched him up , and then ... [ chuckles ] and then later on i found out that it was the same day that aj was attacked in his home . and -- and by that time , aj had already gotten shot , and so i just put two and two together and i asked carlos if he was the one who shot aj and -- patrick : i 'm sure he denied it . sabrina : well , no , he did more than that . he swore to me that -- that he had nothing to do with it . on my baby 's soul . and i -- i believed him . patrick : looks like he lied to you . [ scene_break ] carlos : man , you do n't know what you 're talking about . franco : au contraire , mon amis . i know all too well what you 're talking about . but here 's the good news , yo . i can totally help you out . carlos : how can you help me out ? franco : i thought you 'd never ask . franco ! got a visitor . [ keys jingle ] carly : hello , franco . franco : hello , carly . what ? what are you doing here ? carly : i came to see how you were doing . franco : well , i mean , i 'm in jail . i guess i got that going for me , but ... carly : i could n't wait . i just wanted to see if you were making progress . franco : well , i was , but you 're kind of messing with my mojo , so why do n't you just get the hell out of here , huh ? ! why do n't you do us both a favor and just leave me the hell alone ? ! [ scene_break ] ava : sonny . does monica know you 're here ? sonny : michael asked me here . what are you doing here ? ava : i came to check up on my daughter . [ scene_break ] kiki : the next thing i know , i 'm in the hospital , luke is forced to hug on me , and is grabbing my butt , as if it was something that we just do all the time . ned : and my mother knows about this . kiki : yep . but , unfortunately , luke has twisted the whole story around to make me look like a nympho with granddaddy issues . ned : was this the only incident ? kiki : [ sighs ] no . there was this morning at my dad 's house . he waited until i was alone , came inside , grabbed me , and would not let go of me . morgan : yeah , and fortunately kiki was able to kick his ass out , but , i mean , the guy 's relentless , and tracy 's over here thinking that he 's innocent . kiki : you know what , morgan ? we do n't have to worry about it anymore , because i know exactly what i 'm gon na do next time . morgan : well , there 's not gon na be a next time , 'cause if there is , i 'm gon na kick the guy 's ass . kiki : morgan . morgan , no . i got it , okay ? luke will be a creeper because we know he will be . i will encourage him . when he pulls his pants down , i 'll tase him where it counts . then maybe someone will believe me . ned : i never said i did n't believe you . [ scene_break ] tracy : i need to have a word with you . elizabeth : i 'll leave you to it . luke : [ sighs ] are we all gathered ? tracy : monica and michael are not here yet , but ned is . luke : oh , yes . ned . under foot , as always . tracy : i understand the two of you spoke . luke : [ chuckles ] did we ever . tracy : ned 's upset . luke : of course , he is . i made confetti out of his prenup . tracy : that 's not what upset him . it annoyed him , perhaps , but , uh ... what really bothered him is you ... threatened to kill him ? luke : did he say that ? tracy : yeah . did you ? luke : did i threaten [ sighs ] to kill ned ? you bet your sweet ass i did . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you ca n't go off on your own like that . i was worried sick . spencer : i 'm sorry . nikolas : no , no , no . it 's more likely you 're sorry , because you got caught . there is no skipping school . they teach things ... there , at school . important things . spencer : but uncle luke has it in for -- nikolas : no , no , no . no . there 's certainly no cutting school to carry on this imaginary plot luke has against sonny . i certainly hope you 've gotten that out of your system . cameron : have you guys seen my mom ? nikolas : yes , she 's at aj 's service . [ cell phone rings ] cameron : but i need her to take me somewhere ! nikolas : alexis , can you hold on for a second ? do n't worry , cameron . i will take you . sorry . cameron : why were n't you in school ? spencer : i had more important things to do than multiplication tables . cameron : it 's probably better you were n't there . you might have cried like a baby when emma invited me to her dance recital . spencer : you 're going to emma 's dance recital ? cameron : yep , and you ca n't stop me . spencer : i do n't want to stop you . you could be emma 's only hope .

[ elizabeth sighs ] emily : okay , why does lucky suddenly want jason to be your child 's godfather ? elizabeth : because he thinks he owes it to jason for everything he 's done for me and the baby -- like finding me in the snow and pulling me into the elevator before the lobby exploded . this is lucky 's way of thanking him for saving our lives . emily : oh , god , that 's got to be awkward for you . elizabeth : i just feel so guilty . he does n't even know that jason and i slept together , and now he 's offering to make him a permanent part of our family . if i say no , he 's going to want to know why , but how can i tell him the truth now ? it would devastate him . emily : elizabeth , if you do n't , then jason 's going to be your child 's godfather . can you handle that ?

[ jax laughs ] jax : yep . can you stay for the ceremony ? jane : oh , well , of course i can -- i would n't miss it -- but why the rush ? jax : carly and i have waited long enough . we want to get married as soon as possible . i mean , we 'd get married today if we could , but her divorce from sonny wo n't be final until thursday . carly : i -- i did n't want you to be alone on your birthday , and neither would the boys , so that 's why i 'm here . they -- they got you some presents . sonny : maybe i should wait and open this when michael and morgan -- carly : no , no , no , no , they would want you to open them on your birthday , plus , i 'm dying to see what they got you . sonny : like you do n't know . carly : i really do n't , i do n't . they wanted to do it on their own , and you can tell -- they wrapped them -- ha ! -- on their own . sonny : yeah , all right . well , let 's see . all right . uh -- `` happy birthday , dad . love , morgan . `` let 's see what we got here . i do n't know . this is like -- carly : wow . sonny : we got this for morgan for christmas . carly : yeah , we did . he must love you to give up his lightning mcqueen -- he does n't sleep without it . sonny : wow . yeah . well , i guess mrs. wilcox is going to have her hands full tonight . carly : yeah , i guess so , huh ? carly : i did n't know he did that . sonny : well , i guess i -- i have something to remember you by . [ scene_break ] james : you better hope that paddy does n't screw this up , because if anyone else hears about our little arrangement , i will respond accordingly . and i can assure you that this time , my aim will be deadly accurate . nikolas : there 's no need to threaten her . she knows better than anyone what 's at stake here . james : i 'm not talking about robin here ; i 'm talking about that bloody boyfriend of hers . he seems to be so quick with his temper . robin : patrick is a doctor , he 's used to being under pressure , he 's not going to say anything . james : right . just make sure of it . i want you to go back to the hospital and keep an eye on him . and if paddy seems the least bit inclined to talk , remind him of what he stands to lose . clear ? robin : yeah . nikolas : indulge me for just a moment , would you ? how long do you expect to keep this up , really ? james : as long as it takes for me to settle into my new life . nikolas : right , right , but you -- you seem to keep forgetting that there are some really angry dangerous aforementioned people -- mainly sonny corinthos and jason morgan -- who would like to see you dead . james : huh . and your point ? nikolas : a new identity wo n't stop a bullet . [ scene_break ] det . rodriguez : let 's get him to the hospital . emt : we 'll leave this one for the m.e . lucky : how about the other one ? emt : well , he 's got a through - and - through chest wound , but the bullet missed all vital organs . he ought to be out of surgery and ready for questioning in a few hours . lucky : thanks . emt : yeah . lucky : you want to tell me what happened here ? jason : i ca n't say anything without my attorney . lucky : mrs. joffe has already given her statement to detective rodriguez . if yours matches up with her , there should n't be a problem . [ scene_break ] amelia : sam and i were going over the taping schedule when the men walked into the studio . det . rodriguez : did they say what they wanted ? amelia : only that they were acquaintances of jason morgan and sonny corinthos . i -- i threatened to call security , and that 's when they pulled out their guns , and then jason showed up . det . rodriguez : do you think the meeting was prearranged ? amelia : they seemed surprised to see him here . when jason walked in the door , they had him throw down his gun and come stand with me and sam . det . rodriguez : how did the shooting start ? amelia : both men had their guns pointed at us . uh , the -- the bigger guy -- the one who 's still alive -- he fired at sam . jason pulled her out the way , and things escalated from there . i -- i took cover , and when i looked back up they were fighting over the gun . and the other man -- the one who died -- was going after sam . det . rodriguez : sam ? will you join us for a minute ? det . rodriguez : can you tell me what happened when the deceased tried to attack you ? amelia : she picked up a gun and shot him .

[ scene_break ] jane : tell me about your brother -- how is he ? jax : well , i wish i knew . despite being stuck in siberia for the better part of two months , i never actually laid eyes on jerry . jane : what do you mean ? jax : i was always two steps behind him , which was really frustrating , because while i was trying to save jerry globetrotting all over the place , trying to save him from the russian mob , carly and sonny -- jane : oh , no , wait , i -- i know this part . i was here when carly saw sonny shoot lorenzo alcazar , but carly did all she could to avoid marrying sonny , but in the end she had to protect the father of her children . jax : as much as i hate the thought of sonny and carly being together , i know why she had to marry him . i could 've even tolerated it had it stopped there , but it did n't . jane : oh , dear . what happened ? jax : hostage crisis happened . sonny and carly were held in the lobby at gunpoint and thought they would never see their children again . jane : every parent 's worst fear . jax : yeah , well , they came out of the whole ordeal with a stronger bond than they had before . jane : well , obviously not as strong as the one you share with carly -- or you would n't be getting married in a few days . jax : i really thought i lost carly , and then the most amazing thing happened . at the point where carly would usually go back to sonny -- which she has in the past -- she chose me instead . [ scene_break ] carly : you do n't need a picture to remind you of me . you 're going to see me all the time . we 're going to be together a lot , you 'll see . sonny : yeah -- for five minutes when you drop the boys off at my house . if the positions were reversed , would that be enough for you ? carly : do you not think this is killing me to end my marriage with you , and to walk away from you , and to rip our family apart ? sonny : then why do it ? i mean , why get a divorce if we do n't -- you do n't want it , i do n't want it , stop it . carly : you 're the only one that can stop this . you 're the only one that can stop this push / pull between us . i ca n't do it anymore . you have to let me go . sonny : that 's really what you want ? sonny : is that what you want ? huh ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : you ca n't be so ignorant as to believe that this arrangement can go on indefinitely . james : and you 're too smart to keep trying that same tactic when it failed repeatedly . nikolas : what -- what reason could you possibly have to stay here ? james : because i said so ! beyond the fact that no one would dream of trying to find me in port charles , least of all in your house . nikolas : i have holdings all over the world . you know that . you can use my -- my apartment in zurich , my flat in london as your base of operations , or anywhere else , for that matter . the point is , is that once you get your new identity , you can disappear from here . james : you see , passing through customs is n't what it used to be . besides , port charles happens to suit me fine at the moment . the only way i would leave is if robin or paddy would slip up and blow my cover . then i would have no choice but to kill them both -- as well as you -- and move on . [ scene_break ] patrick : i need copies of every tox screen you 've done for dr. scorpio in the last month . okay , i 'll be down in a few minutes . noah : something needs to be done about dr. ford . if he makes any more changes in the admission policy , we wo n't have patients left to treat . and we need to get the staff together , form a united front for the next board meeting . patrick : yeah , i 'm not big on administrative policy . noah : yeah , maybe so . every patient that comes through these doors has the right to treatment , whether they can afford it or not . patrick : i agree . i -- i do n't have time to help right now . noah : what happened to your eye ? patrick : it 's nothing . noah : you know , when robin came into your life , i watched you evolve from an arrogant showoff to a caring physician . i would sure hate to see you backsliding over a broken heart . patrick : look , dad , it 's a little more complicated than that right now , okay ? hey , um , i made copies of all the labs on this special project . robin : what ? patrick : i think if we work together we can isolate the toxin sooner . robin : no , no , absolutely not . patrick : robin , you need my help on this . robin : you can help by minding your own business . noah : you know what ? you two need to drop the personal drama and focus on your work . that is why you 're here , right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : how are you holding up ? emily : oh -- huh . i , uh , have my moments . elizabeth : i still do n't understand how robin could do something like this to you -- or to patrick . i mean , you both saved her life during that hostage crisis , and this is how she repays you -- by moving in with nikolas ? speaking of , what was he thinking ? emily : yeah , i do n't know . i -- i wish i knew . i 've -- i 've thought of every possible explanation , you know , from robin needing space to nikolas trying to protect me from helena . elizabeth : well , that 's a possibility . i mean , you know how she feels about your relationship with him . emily : i have no doubt that helena would use threats to force nikolas to break up with me , but she would never push him to be with robin , which means that this is nikolas ' decision . and as painful as it is , i 'd much rather him be honest with me than go on pretending to be happy .

[ scene_break ] noah : nobody 's sorrier than i am that you two could n't find a way to make your relationship work , believe me . but whatever animosity you have towards each other should be left at the door . this hospital 's in crisis . not only is dr. ford emerging as the strongest candidate for chief of staff , but medcam is positioning for a takeover . so if you guys care about your patients , you need to drop the personal drama and focus on the big picture . this hospital can not afford to have doctors who do not conduct themselves in a professional manner . robin : you 're right , i 'm sorry . it wo n't happen again . noah : you know , i 'm sorry if i came off sounding harsh , it had to be said . patrick : there are some personal situations a lot more serious than you can even understand . emily : ahem . noah : do you think i was being hard on them ? emily : you were being honest . robin and patrick have got to find a way to work together or the patients are going to suffer -- not that i 'm in any position to judge . breakups are hard enough as it is . i ca n't imagine what it must be like to have to work with the person who left you . [ scene_break ] amelia : if this shooting were to be picked up by the media , sam would be portrayed as a gun - toting mob moll . mayor floyd : your new star 's p.r . is not my problem . amelia : i think it is . you held a press conference after the metro court hostage crisis to publicly praise sam as a hero . when the local news reports this story tonight , what video do you think they 'll show with it ? nothing like a photo op to remind the audience of the connection between you two . not only will your constituents question your stance on organized crime , but the city council will wonder how you lost millions of dollars in potential revenue . mayor floyd : what are you talking about ? amelia : well , due to security concerns , i 'll be forced to move `` everyday heroes `` back to manhattan . that might scare off other productions who were interested in shooting in or around port charles . so , you see , mayor , it 's in the best interest of everyone , including you , if we keep this incident as quiet as possible . mayor floyd : detective ? excuse me ; i need a word with you . sam : you are really good at this . amelia : well , i 'm not about to let one unfortunate incident derail all the plans that i 've made for you .

[ scene_break ] carly : hi . hi , come on in . i wanted to let you know that i made arrangements to have michael brought from the aftercare institute to general hospital later on today . sonny : okay , before we get into that , i 've got to tell you something . carly : should we sit ? sonny : i wish i had . i 've got to stop doing that , being sarcastic about things , especially when it 's serious and this is happening and i have to embrace it . carly : okay , i 'm kind of worried . you 're starting to talk in circles like i do . what 's up ? sonny : claudia 's pregnant . [ scene_break ] patrick : seeing robin with another man , not a care in the world , no disregard for having a husband or a baby -- yeah , it took everything in my power not to confront them in that moment . robin : see , that 's what i 'm saying . i do n't understand why he did n't . he just hoarded this information like it was a secret weapon , just waiting for the right time to , you know , throw it at me , which -- does n't that seem hostile to you ? dr. brown : well , clearly , it does to you . patrick : that 's not what i did at all . i know it can look that way . i 'll admit that . i did n't confront you about it because i did n't want to push you further away . robin : yeah , right . that 's exactly how you felt when you were yelling at me in front of the entire hospital staff . patrick : see , doctor , this is exactly what i 'm talking about . every time i say anything about her behavior , she thinks that i 'm attacking her , and if i do n't do anything , if i make excuses , then i 'm just enabling her , and i do n't -- there 's no way for me to win here . look , the truth is , i was a happy single guy . i was successful . i had money . i had women . i had whatever i wanted , and i had no desire to change any of that until i met robin . and then , everything i heard , everything i dismissed about love became true , that it 's its own master , that it 's no more controllable than the sun coming up in the morning , that it fundamentally changes you , that it makes you want things that you did n't want , because i did n't want to be married . i did n't want babies . now i 'm at a point that i want all that , and she does n't want us anymore . robin : that 's not true . it 's not that i do n't want you . it 's just this alien has taken over my body , and i 'm just watching everything happen . patrick : okay , but robin , maybe that 's the problem . you 're okay to just watch everything fall apart that we built up , and i do n't understand that . [ scene_break ] alexis : he was antsy that sonny was going to catch him , which still does n't explain what he was doing in the living room . and he left , and i followed him . he told me that he would tell me whatever i wanted to know about his involvement in michael 's shooting , but he was n't going to do it on the property of a man who would walk out and kill him on sight . not that he does n't deserve to die , but apparently , he has one last deed to accomplish , god help us . jax : did he mention what it was ? did he say anything about picking up a dvd ? alexis : he just said that he was going to be at the 10th street garage , and if i wanted some answers , i should go talk to him there , and i 'm going , because i want the answers . i would also like to hear that he is n't this heartless , soulless monster . what is it with the two of us ? why is it that we find it so hard to believe that somebody could be this inherently evil ? jax : no one 's a bigger fool than me when it comes to my brother . i mean , i like to cling to the belief that he never intended for michael to be shot , but then again , jerry 's intentions do n't really matter , do they ? because his involvement alone is enough to damn him . alexis : what do we do ? jax : you 're throwing this in my court , are n't you ? alexis : your brother , your wife , your kid . jax : then i 'm going to have to ask you to be quiet , and do n't go after jerry . look , pursuing him and pushing him for answers will most likely be self- serving . we let him go and hope that he does n't come back this time . [ scene_break ] jason : a few weeks ago , money started being transferred out of ian devlin 's account . now , up until this point , those accounts have been inactive . spinelli picked up jerry jacks on some surveillance footage leaving a bank in hong kong , minutes after the withdrawal had been made . now , around the same time , ric and claudia started accusing each other of working with jerry and devlin . so of course i focus on ric , because i , you know , i want it to be ric , but if you really look at what was going on at the time , claudia 's more likely . she hated sonny for grabbing johnny and hurting him . she made no secret about wanting to kill sonny . i could see her using jerry and devlin to try . sam : maybe . jason : what ? what 's wrong ? sam : okay , just hear me out . i do n't know claudia that well . she seems like a pretty hard case , but she is a woman , and it seems kind of unlikely that she would marry sonny knowing that she had anything to do with michael 's shooting , because quite frankly , it is suicidal , and as for ric pointing fingers , i would take it with a grain of salt . he 's a pathological liar , and he would do absolutely anything to blow sonny 's world apart . jason : mm - hmm . sam : so , he saying that sonny 's woman did all these horrible things is right up his alley . jason : okay , well , that 's -- sam : it 's exactly what he would do . jason : that 's why i need to find jerry , because the answers he can give me are even more important now . sam : why ? is there something different ? jason : claudia 's having sonny 's kid . [ scene_break ] claudia : why do you keep showing up here ? ric : i do n't know . the ambiance -- must be your stellar personality . claudia : you 're not going to make sonny love you by trying to turn him against me . ric : well , whatever . the jury 's still out on you , though . claudia : uh , no , ric . the verdict is in , and it 's already been read . ric : really ? claudia : yeah . ric : something i should know about ? claudia : not a thing . ric : right , of course . otherwise , you would tell me , because , basically , you and i are in this together , so if i go down , you go down . come on , why do n't we have a toast ? claudia : to ? ric : oh , i do n't know . michael ? claudia : drink up . [ scene_break ] carly : claudia 's pregnant . hmm , that is the last thing i expected to hear . sonny : take a number . i mean , it threw claudia and i for a loop , too . this marriage was n't supposed to be about making a family . it was a business arrangement to consolidate power and position . that 's it . carly : hmm . well , obviously , something changed along the way . sonny : we 're human , but we did n't want kids . i used protection . i do n't know -- i used protection ! carly : well , clearly , it did n't work . i 'm sorry . you 're conflicted , and you 're freaking out . sonny : well , i mean , you know , it 's like , when you think that life has tossed you every curveball you can get , something else comes along and you know what ? it 's like , whether you want it or you do n't want it , whether you 're prepared for it or not . carly : you do n't want the baby ? sonny : it 's not like that . i mean , the baby -- i just found out claudia was pregnant . i ca n't even think of it as a baby . i guess i 'm going to have to start , though , right ? carly : yeah . yeah , and pretty soon , mm - hmm . sonny : okay , listen to me . i guess claudia and i are having a child , and i 'm going to take full responsibility for that and do what i have to do to be the best parent i can be and not make the same horrible mistakes i made with michael . carly : you are going to be wonderful . sonny : thanks for the vote of confidence . carly : do you think you could spare one for me ? jax and i are having a baby , too . [ scene_break ] luke : ethan ? ethan : luke . luke : have you heard from holly ? ethan : that 's a strange question . luke : answer it . ethan : you know , i 've told you this i do n't know how many times . holly and i shared a brief acquaintance at a resort in australia , give or take two weeks , all right ? and i have n't seen or heard from her since . why ? luke : because tracy and i are thinking of giving her a call , you know ? just letting her know that you landed here in port charles . ethan : well , i think that 'd be a ripper idea . maybe she 'd come out for a visit . you know , i would n't mind feasting my eyes on the lovely petals of your english rose once again . tracy : that box of scotch is stolen . luke : stolen ? tracy : you pilfered it from daddy 's cellar . that 's his good booze . luke : i did not . tracy : i want it returned immediately . do i have to explain immediately to you ? luke : you 'd better do what she says , dodge . ethan : okay . luke : well , you 're about as subtle as an 18-wheeler . tracy : it got rid of him , did n't it ? and just in time . you were about to open a vein . luke : i have nothing to hide , and as a matter of fact , the more i think about it , the more i like the idea that ethan could be my son . tracy : and that 's what i 'm afraid of . [ scene_break ] jason : you okay ? sam : yeah . i mean , i do n't know . i do n't know why that just hit me so hard , because who cares ? sonny and claudia are having a baby . it has absolutely nothing to do with me . jason : it obviously hit you hard for a reason . sam : okay , fine . listen , it 's just that the very first thing that came through my head when you just said that was if my baby was alive right now , she 'd be getting a brother or sister , and i know it 's ridiculous , but it 's the first thing that -- jason : no , it 's not . sam : i just do n't understand why sonny ca n't keep it in his pants for , like , five seconds . he spends five minutes around somebody , and he impregnates , like , everybody . i do n't get it . you know what ? that just totally came out wrong . i am so sorry . bad memories . i do n't want to go there . okay , yes , it would certainly complicate things if it turned out that claudia had anything to do with michael 's shooting . jason : i know , i know . it 's a huge mess . [ phone rings ] jason : you got anything ? spinelli : success . jerry 's car is presently parked in the 10th street garage . [ scene_break ] ric : you 're awfully confrontational . claudia : guess you just bring it out in me . ric : what do you think sonny would have said if you would have walked in at that point when you decided to throw your drink all over me ? claudia : i do n't know . i think he would have given me a standing ovation . ric : yeah , then his suspicion would have kicked into overdrive . claudia : why do n't you take your threats and get the hell out of my house , ric ? you do n't have any proof that i was involved in michael 's shooting , so all you 're doing is making yourself look like the twisted , desperate freak that you are . ric : you know , i got to give you credit , claudia . you know , you got nerves of steel , hanging tough by sonny 's side like you got a right to be there , professing your innocence , when all the while you know you 're guilty as sin that sooner or later , the truth is going to come out , and there 's going to be nothing that 's going to stop sonny from killing you . ric : you know what ? you really should have a drink . it would take the edge off . ric : there you go . claudia : i do n't want a drink . ric : i have never known you to refuse a cocktail , which means one of two things . either this liquor 's poisoned , which i know it 's not , or you got a reason not to drink -- same reason you 're so bizarrely confident . you took out an insurance policy , did n't you ? you got yourself pregnant . [ scene_break ] sonny : wow , pregnant . carly : yep . sonny : gee . you know , i should have guessed . remember , i told you you looked tired ? carly : yes . sonny : and you probably had dizzy spells , did n't you ? carly : yes , i did . sonny : okay , well . carly : i was afraid to hope . i was . you know , i 've had so many problems in this area . but you know , it 's official . sonny : yeah ? carly : it is . i 'm having a baby , and i am committed to doing everything i can to make sure that i 'm going to have a healthy , beautiful baby girl . sonny : is n't it kind of soon to know the sex ? carly : not for me . sonny : oh , yeah . well , i 'm not going to argue with it , because you knew morgan was a boy from the beginning , so -- carly : that 's right . sonny : now you 're getting the beautiful little girl that you always wanted . that 's wonderful . carly : jax and i are really happy . sonny : i hope she 's smart and strong like you , but not , you know , too impulsive , because you know how you can be . carly : what 's that ? is this newfound tact ? because you know , usually you just call me crazy . sonny : well , you 're having a baby with the man that you love , and claudia 's having mine , so it kind of looks like i 'm the crazy one . i do n't know . carly : oh , wow . you know what i bet ? sonny : yes ? carly : i bet that when you meet your little boy or your little girl , you are going to be so happy , and you 're not going to have any regrets . sonny : no regrets ? that 's a tall order . carly : yeah , that 's what kids do . they force us to focus on the future . sonny : i want you to know that this baby will not change the love i have for my sons and my commitment to bring michael back to us . carly : i know that , and our first step in doing that is to bring him back to general hospital . sonny : when he gets there , can you call me , and i 'll meet you there ? carly : yeah . yeah , i 'll give you a call and we 'll meet the doctors . we 'll figure it all out , okay ? sonny : tell jax -- and i mean this -- that i 'm happy for both of you , and that it 's a beautiful thing to have a child with the person you love . i know that , because i remember love .

[ gasps ] [ sighs ] you dressed yourself with those hands ? carly : i 'm not having this fight with you again , jax . we always end up in the same place -- opposite corners . jax : the case against sonny is in the hands of the jury , and michael did n't have to testify . so , why are you still so mad at me ?

[ scene_break ] michael : i guess i missed the part where you turned against my dad . i 'm not being sarcastic . i mean , i literally missed the moment -- which is possible , 'cause i 've been kind of distracted lately . last i checked , my dad has been a good friend of you and your family since you both can remember . he loves you . and i thought you felt the same way . lulu : i did . i did . okay ? i was as big a sonny defender as anyone else , until he picked up a gun , looked dante in the eyes , knowing that he was unarmed , and shot him at point - blank range . that pretty much finished it for me . michael : he just found out -- lulu : i do n't care ! seriously , i am so sick of that lame line of defense . dante saved sonny 's life . he saved morgan 's life . he saved mine . but that meant nothing . i 'm not gon na be able to look at sonny the same way again . i 'm sure as hell not gon na be able to forgive him . [ door opens ] maxie : michael , what are you doing here ?

[ scene_break ] carly : why am i still mad at you ? jax : yeah . carly : because all of this is your fault . i mean , if it were n't for you , michael would n't be living like a fugitive . morgan would n't have come home in tears because your handpicked prosecutor made him cry on the witness stand . we 'd still be together . and josslyn would get to know her father on a full- time basis . jax : no , no , no -- carly : that 's why i 'm still mad at you . jax : okay . that was your call . you 're the one that wanted the separation , remember ? carly : that 's because you cared more about putting sonny in prison than the welfare of your family . jax : how can you say that ? you , of all people , how can you say that ? i am concerned about our kids , especially when it comes to the danger that sonny poses to their lives every single day . and you want to know what really did it for me ? hmm ? michael in a coma for a year because of a bullet that was meant for sonny . okay ? now , i 'd rather take michael on an island any day of the week over that . and as far as morgan is concerned , i am sorry . i told claire putting a 12-year - old boy on the witness stand to testify against his own father was not okay . but he did n't suffer any permanent damage , did he ? sonny in prison guarantees morgan 's safety from the mob for the rest of his life . carly : how does it feel being right all the time ? jax : it feels great . carly : i mean , walking around doing whatever you want and never having a doubt at all about how flippin ' righteous you are ? jax : we 're just gon na keep going round and round in circles , are n't we ? carly : i told you i did n't want to talk about it ! jax : we 're not gon na agree when it comes to sonny , so let 's ... i -- i wish that you could see ... that i love you guys , i love my family , and i would do anything to protect you . okay ? at any cost .

[ scene_break ] jason : all right , we got a major problem . spinelli : yeah , what 's the nature ? jason : bellhop saw michael leaving the hotel last night with a man fitting dante 's description . spinelli : that is most distressing . jason : yeah , and it gets worse . i was just at dante 's apartment . dante 's not there , michael 's not there , but claire walsh was . and she was looking for dante . spinelli : well , which indicates that dante has yet to turn michael over to the authorities . do you think michael confessed to dante ? jason : spinelli , it does n't matter whether he did or whether he did n't . we need to get him away from dante and out of the country an hour ago , so please just get to work and see if you can find a lead on where michael might be . [ scene_break ] lulu : put down the phone . maxie , put it down . nobody , nobody , least of all jason , can know that michael is here . maxie : lulu , there are other ways to impress your boyfriend , which we have talked about , that do n't involve keeping michael here until he is forced to testify . and i 'm pretty sure heaven and earth were just reassembled so that did n't happen . it 's probably time you stopped playing cops and robbers and just let me get michael back into jason 's -- lulu : you know , do n't you ? you know that michael killed claudia . oh , my god , maxie . maxie ! you 've been a part of the cover - up all this time ? maxie : no , not all this time ! i just found out recently ! lulu : i ca n't believe you did n't tell me ! maxie : well , we clearly do n't tell each other everything . and it 's not my fault i 'm privy to important secrets . lulu : mob secrets ! maxie : spinelli secrets and jason secrets . jason and spinelli are friends . i 'm their friend . i would never betray them . lulu : okay . i love dante , and he trusts me to keep michael safe . and i am not going to betray him . so what i am asking you as my friend , please walk away and do n't tell anybody anything about michael being here , especially jason . maxie : [ scoffs ] i 'm going to walk away from here . [ lulu sighs ] maxie : definitely walking away . but anything else , i ca n't promise that . [ scene_break ] sonny : whatever michael showed you , whatever stain you saw , it was n't claudia 's blood on his shirt . dante : why not , sonny , 'cause you destroyed the clothes , you burned all the evidence ? you left a loose end . maybe you 're not as all powerful as you thought you were . sonny : let it go , dante , let it go . dante : you know what else this explains , it 's the blood you had on your shirt . it was claudia 's , but transferred there from michael . he grabbed you , probably when you showed up to get him from the cabin , but michael was still reeling from what just happened , and feeling more guilt than he wanted you to believe he was feeling . because when he gave you those clothes to burn , he held onto that shirt ; the one piece of hard evidence that proves what he just did . so i got a picture of what happened , sonny . it 's nice and clear . so do me a favor and do n't lie to my face . sonny : it was an accident .

[ scene_break ] sonny : michael was headed to canada that night , after the scene at the metro court . he had heard an ugly fight between me and jax . and i guess he had enough . so he was heading to the border . that 's where he saw the car crashed . he recognized the description . he got out , he followed the path to the cabin . he heard his mother scream , so he picked up an ax handle , right , from the porch . and he went inside , and he hit claudia . not to kill her . but to save carly and baby josslyn . sam and jason arrived moments later . claudia was already dead . dante : that 's when the cover - up kicked in ? why , sonny ? you just described a clear case of self defense . suspended sentence , community service , probation . i do n't know . i mean , you just put everyone through 3 months of hell , when all you had to do was simply pick up the phone , call the cops and tell the truth . sonny : call the cops , what , are you delusional ? i 'm going to put my son 's freedom in the cops ' hands ? trust the cops ? they would have railroaded my son through the system , made an example of . you ca n't get sonny corinthos , by god we got his son . he had ... he had gone through too much already . i did n't want my son to be branded a killer . that 's not what i wanted for the rest of his life . and i do n't think that 's what you want , either . [ scene_break ] jason : what is taking so long ? spinelli : the area where dante resides is primarily industrial . there 's no banks or office cameras for me to gain surveillance footage out of . the closest i can get is block and a half away . jason : well , there 's got ta be something , spinelli . please keep working on it . maxie : hey . jason : okay , please , maxie , this is not a time for spinelli to be distracted . maxie : what are you doing ? jason : we 're looking for michael . spinelli : yeah , we think he 's with dante . maxie : oh , um , maybe i could help . [ scene_break ] michael : look , we both know maxie went straight to spinelli , which is as good as going to jason . how much do you want to bet he 's going to be through that door inside of 15 minutes ? lulu : no , no , no , do n't underestimate the power of female friendship . maxie knows how important it is for me to be someone that dante can trust . michael : what about maxie needing to be someone who spinelli can trust ? lulu : i just do n't see it going that way . michael : we 'll see . lulu : can i get you something , like maybe just a soda or water ? michael : no , i 'm fine . lulu : okay . we can just wait . can i ask you questions ? michael : well , fine with me . it 'll fill the silence . lulu : it 's just , it 's apparent to me that what happened to claudia has been weighing heavily on you . so why did you wait so long to come forward ? michael : i wanted to since my dad got arrested . no one would let me . my mom , my dad and jason , they talked me out of it every single time . they finally decided it was best to just remove me . lulu : huh . well , that sounds like a lot of pressure . michael : well , i got past it . even before dante showed up , i was going to come forward . i ca n't let my dad go to prison for me . it 's not right . is there something going on here you 're not telling me about ? lulu : like ... michael : where dante is ? i confessed to him . but that does n't mean i 'm going to let him decide what happens to me or my dad . [ scene_break ] skye : you , of course , remember my daughter lila rae . luke : well , sure . skye : as lorenzo 's only surviving child , she inherited all of alcazar 's holdings . luke : well , that must have made her one wealthy little pumpkin . skye : uh ... luke : no ? skye : well , i , uh ... i sort of burned through all those assets . i know it sounds profligate . look , i did n't just go shopping , you know . i suffered several terrible reversals due to the economic downturn . luke : well , yeah , i understand . i mean , things have been tough all over . skye : i suppose i could go to edward . luke : oh , do n't do that . edward will tie you up in strings and keep you in knots , and it 's a nightmare with edward . so i think i know what the deal is here . you need to get your hands on alcazar 's hidden funds ; the millions that he stashed hell knows where , right ? skye : exactly . locate those funds and figure out how to claim them , with , of course , a very handsome bonus for you . luke : ah , well , you certainly came to the right place . i 'm at your service . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not ... i 'm not mad at jax for going after sonny . i mean , those two have been trying to destroy each other for years as they pass each other on the docks . what 's different this time is that jax plowed right over my kids to do it . olivia : okay . obviously jax did n't think about all the consequences to michael and morgan when he helped dante go after sonny . right , and i get it that your boys got hurt , but this is what you got ta think about -- is it going to lessen or compound that hurt if you and jax break up ? carly : honestly , i do n't think michael would care . i mean , he would be sorry for me , and he would n't want to see me upset . but he 's not as close to jax as he used to be . and jax 's actions against sonny has eroded michael 's trust . [ sighs ] morgan 's a different story . and i would never say this where sonny could hear it , but jax has been more of a father to morgan than sonny ever was . but jax has had constant access . he used to make him breakfast every morning , he used to take karate with him . he picks him up after school . morgan adores him . and morgan would be very hurt and disillusioned if we split up for good . oh . olivia : okay . now throw josslyn in the mix . carly : i do n't -- [ chuckles ] olivia , god knows that i ... i do n't want to deprive that precious little girl of her wonderful father , you know . and i do n't want to deprive myself of my husband . but there 's got ta be a line . somewhere . olivia : i hear you , honey . okay , but here 's the thing about drawing lines ... sometimes you go so far past that line that you just ca n't ever get back over it . okay , jax did a bad thing , right . but his motives were pure . even noble . he put the thing on the line that he values most , that 's his family , in order to save it . and that 's pretty freakin ' awesome . okay , maybe you ca n't see that right now because you 're so hurt and you feel so betrayed . but i will tell you right now , if you throw jax away , and he ai n't going to stay lonely for long . [ scene_break ] jason : maxie . maxie : sorry . jason : please . maxie : i 'm sorry . i know this is kind of a radical idea . but if michael really wants to tell the truth , why not just let him ? jason : that 's what i should have done the night claudia died . you know , i should just let michael tell the truth , but instead , i made a wrong decision . i acted too quickly . i engineered a cover - up to destroy everything that proves that michael acted in defense of carly and josslyn , that 's why sonny 's on trial , that 's why carly and jax 's marriage is falling apart , that 's why they ripped morgan out of school and put him on the stand to testify against his father . none of this should have happened , and it would n't have if i would have just -- maxie : jason , there 's something -- spinelli : damn it ! jason : what ? ! spinelli : i ca n't find anything , no sign of dante or michael . jason : well , that 's it . i 'm just going to have to tell sonny that michael 's in town , we just do n't know where . [ scene_break ] lulu : i get that this is hard for you , michael , but dante is going to figure out what 's right . you just got ta give him some time . michael : with respect to your feelings for him , i do n't exactly trust dante . lulu : you trust him to act like a cop , do n't you ? look , so many things could go wrong , and after everything that has happened to you and your family , is it really so much to ask you just to wait a little bit longer ? let dante take the lead . he knows what he 's doing . michael : all right , i 'll wait . but not for long . [ scene_break ] sonny : i think we both know what needs to be done , dante . that 's why you came here instead of going straight to claire walsh . for michael 's sake . the truth can never come out . what do you got to lose to let it play out ? the trial 's over , the jury 's got the case . claire walsh did a hell of a job . my own lawyer believes i 'm going to be found guilty , which is exactly what you want , for me to rot in prison for the rest of my life for the crimes i 've committed . and i 've done many . i 've gotten away with murder for decades , including lieutenant poletti . this is the best solution . michael does n't go to prison for an accident , but i do . let 's just call it payback for the life that i 've lead . it 's justice , dante . let it take its course . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] lisa : well , it seems pretty straightforward to me . i mean , sonny corinthos killed claudia to stop her from kidnapping carly 's baby . and then he covered it up to avoid what actually happened , and law enforcement is pouncing on the chance to get sonny convicted of something . alice : what are you doing ? you 're violating rule number 7 . lisa : i am ? alice : yeah , right here . `` no derailing of orderly process by pointless editorializing . `` lisa : i know , but i was stating my opinion . alice : yeah , but no one asked you for your opinion . and we 're taking a preliminary vote , and that means we want to see what people think before you try to sway them . lisa : well , that certainly was n't my intention . alice : well , perfect then , we can move on . everyone pass up their votes , and let 's see how much work we have to do before justice is served . thank you . alice : thank you very much . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're really upset about this , are n't you ? spinelli : i know how heavily it will weigh on stone cold if he 's ultimately unable to protect michael . and it 's been that act that has enabled stone cold to deal with the guilt of the cover up . he 's my friend and mentor . i do n't wish to see him further burdened by michael 's confession . there 's got ta be a way to find him . maxie : this is really difficult for both of us . i mean , i 'm torn , too . there 's no clear cut bad guy in this situation . i know jason 's supposed to be one , but not in my book . and dante 's a cop , he 's just doing his job . and there 's lulu . spinelli : yeah . it is the quagmire that keeps on giving . you know , i remember the day of josslyn 's christening . and i was aware that stone cold and mr. sir were planning dante 's demise , and there was lulu , so worried about dante . and yet i said nothing . maxie : do you regret that ? spinelli : no . i 'm of the belief that what 's set in motion has to take its due course without outside interference . and when the stakes are higher for others than they could ever be for you , sometimes the most prudent choice is just to do nothing . [ scene_break ] [ sonny sighs ] jason : okay , i 'm sorry that i took so long -- sonny : dante 's got michael . jason : you already know ? sonny : yeah , he came here . jason : who came here ? dante or michael ? sonny : dante . he came straight here after michael confessed . jason : so dante knows michael killed claudia ? sonny : not only that , he has proof . jason : how does he have proof ? sonny : michael kept the bloody shirt he wore that night for whatever reason . dante had the blood checked . it 's claudia 's . jason : all right , where is michael right now ? sonny : i do n't know . jason : what do you mean , you do n't know ? in other words , he could be at pcpd confessing ? sonny : dante 's not going to let it get that far . he 's after me . he 's not going to do anything that affects his brother . [ scene_break ] [ elevator approaching ] lulu : hey . i came as soon as you called . dante : michael 's safe ? lulu : yeah , he 's at my apartment . he promised that he would stay put and trust you to handle things . dante : wow , you must have done some kind of convincing . lulu : well , i tried . what 's up ? dante : ah , i just went to sonny 's , confirmed that the cover - up was to protect michael . and he worked pretty hard to get me to let this whole thing play out to its natural end , which would be sonny convicted of murder . send him away , take him off the streets just like i wanted . i should be happy , right ? i mean , justice served ? lulu : i mean , that 's certainly an option . dante : i do n't know , is it ? i mean , if i want to do the honorable thing here , how can i let sonny go down for a crime he did n't commit , even if that is what he wants ? [ scene_break ] luke : well , you were n't kidding , blaze . you really did go through alcazar 's legitimate funds . skye : at first it was like a bottomless well . i did n't even realize more was coming out than going in , i mean , why would i ? lorenzo 's portfolio was like the gift that kept on giving . honestly , luke , i did n't watch the news . i did n't even know there was an economic downturn . till it came to bite me on the butt . luke : lucky economic downturn . skye : luke . luke : hmm ? skye : do you think you can really track illegal gains ? luke : i 'm offended you 'd even have to ask . of course i can . where do you think alcazar 's most favorite off - shore place to throw his extra money would be ? skye : far east . luke : that 's predictable . and makes it easy . let 's see . nefariousfunds.com .

[ scene_break ] jordan : shawn ? and why is he of interest to your superiors ? anna : despite all the evidence that you 've acquired , the only crime that we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt is the fact that shawn tampered with the mayoral election . jordan : because he was taking orders from duke . anna : right . but duke managed to keep his hands squeaky clean . there is no evidence linking him to the election tampering . and my superiors feel that if they arrest shawn , he 's gon na turn on duke . jordan : oh , hell , no . no . shawn would rather rot in prison than rat out duke . i mean ... anna : well , that was my argument , too . but it fell on deaf ears . jordan : so , that 's it ? the man that i love goes away while the man that you love just gets to walk ? was that the plan all along ? anna : oh , come on . that is not what i wanted . are you kidding ? no . we 're -- we 're on the same side . do n't let those men turn us against each other . we 're the good guys . we just had the misfortune to fall in love with men who are on the wrong side of the law . jordan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : i appreciate your honesty . jake : and i appreciate your hearing me out instead of shooting me . julian : [ chuckles ] okay . look ...

[ gunshots ] claudia : here 's a thought . why do n't you try aiming instead of wasting bullets ? jason : it was a warning shot to stop the guy from getting a better position . claudia : for how long ? one , two , three minutes maybe ? jason : that 's more time than we had before . claudia : fine , what are we gon na do after that ? we ca n't hold them off for long with one gun . jason : why do n't you make a run for it ? if he shoots you , maybe he 'll quit while he 's ahead .

[ clears throat ] he once took me there against my will , and he threatened me with a knife . jordan : then why would you go voluntarily with him if he had done that to you ? alexis : because i was trying to convince him to turn himself in . diane : absolutely . of course . that 's the only explanation that makes any sense given julian 's history of intimidation and violence . jordan : i want to hear this from alexis , okay ? go ahead . alexis : there really is n't much more to tell . i was trying to convince him to turn himself in , and i had n't made much headway before the police showed up . jordan : so , you were at the motel for roughly , what , an hour from the time that you left the pier and the time that you were discovered , give or take some travel time , and you 're telling me that you spent an hour trying to convince your ex - husband , who tried to kill you , to turn himself in ? alexis : well , he was n't really keen on the idea , so it took some time . jordan : huh . something 's not right . there 's something that you are not telling me , alexis . alexis : [ sighs ] yes . there is . when the police took julian into custody , there was some confusion as to why i was there . diane : naturally . alexis : one of the police officers had the impression that i was julian 's accomplice . jordan : that 's not an entirely un - unreasonable assumption . diane : i beg to differ . jordan : noted . alexis : julian was worried that i would get into trouble , so he said that i was his hostage . jordan : how do we know that you were n't ? alexis : because if he had taken me as his hostage , i would tell you that . i am telling you that he did not . now , you can believe me or you can not believe me . i do n't even care at this point . it was julian 's idea to say that i was his hostage . it was a spur - of - the - moment decision . jordan : if he did n't abduct you , then why did you wait to tell us ? alexis : because everything was happening so quickly . they handcuffed him , threw him into a car , they threw me into a car , escorted me home . i 'm telling you for the record right now -- julian jerome did not abduct me last night . jordan : i need a minute , and i will make some notes and pass this on to da garcia . alexis : may i just ask you one question ?

[ scene_break ] carly : sonny does not control or dictate what i do ! jax : yeah , but you 're staying here for him . carly : because i just declared war on that son of a bitch ! i 'm not running now ! jax : why not ? you stay here and you fight a war -- that means he 's important . carly : [ scoffs ] jax : it 'd only feed his ego , carly , but if you live your life far away from him ... you prove to him that he no longer matters . and that , carly , is victory . carly : that 's not good enough . jax : no , not after what he did to you . no , you do n't need to fight my battles for me , especially with sonny . carly : then i 'll fight the battle for me and what sonny did to my life , okay ? because he 's not getting away with it ! jax : do you hear yourself ? instead of going away with me and giving yourself a real shot at happiness , you would rather stay here and fight ... and fight sonny , because he 's still in your blood , and he always will be .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : what do you think jake could have witnessed between you and helena ? jason : i ca n't explain anything that happened during that time , but helena was able to force me to break faison out of police custody , plant a bomb on the haunted star , and i was n't even under her complete control at the time . on that island , she could have ordered me to do anything , no matter how brutal , and i would have done it . elizabeth : and jake could have seen it .

[ chuckles ] no . johnny : carly , please just let me explain . carly : you know , the only consolation here is that now sonny and johnny finally see you for who you really are -- a lying , two - timing whore . connie : like you have any room to talk . carly : oh , my god . i 'm out of here . connie : thanks for stopping by . buh - bye . johnny : carly , please just listen to me . carly : do n't touch me ! i defended you ! tonight , i defended you . my god , all those people that told me not to trust you -- and , believe me , there were many -- i insisted they were wrong . johnny : okay , just listen to me for one second . carly : i said that i knew the real you . i knew the real johnny . and that you and i -- we had something special . how 's that for pathetic and delusional ? i mean , i thought i meant something to you . johnny : you do . i swear to you . carly : really ? i do ? if i meant anything to you , johnny , you would have kept your pants on . you would have kept your hands off that skank . and if you knew me at all , you would know there 's not an explanation that 's ever gon na make this okay . kate : do n't look . yeah . sonny : ohh . kate : much better , is n't it ? sonny : yeah . kate : well , i said i went shopping for you . i know how you hate it . sonny : you know i do n't wear ties unless i 'm going to church . kate : maybe i 'm trying to expand your sartorial horizons . surprise . sam : what are you doing here , anyway ? mcbain : i heard there was a birthday party for sonny corinthos . my invitation got lost in the mail . sam : [ chuckles ] mcbain : but from the looks of things , the party 's long over . sam : yeah , you could say that . mcbain : i 'm guessing you told jason about franco and the baby and -- he did not handle it well . sam : he was devastated . mcbain : it 's a lot to process , sam . sam : i know . i mean , finding out that franco was his brother -- his twin -- is bad enough . and finding out that franco is my baby 's father -- it was just way too much for him to handle all at once . mcbain : i 'm sorry . sam : he -- he asked me why i went through it alone -- why i did n't tell him about the paternity test , but -- i guess , of course , i mean , i - i was n't alone . jason : mcbain was the one i showed you in the photo on my cell phone , the one you saw with sam -- the guy . elizabeth : okay . is there something wrong with him ? jason : he 's a cop . he used to be fbi . and when sam told me that she had the dna test done , you know , my first thought was how hard it must have been for her to go through it alone , but you know what ? she was n't alone . she had him . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jason : i - i only know because alexis said something . sam was never even gon na tell me . elizabeth : tell you what ? jason : she said that the dna sample came from a contact at the fbi . she never told me about mcbain . elizabeth : wait . why would sam need a dna sample ? sam : i know it 's a lot for jason to absorb . i mean , he barely had time to catch his breath , but -- mcbain : but what ? sam : i asked him if he would be able to love another man 's baby . he could n't answer me . mcbain : give him some time . it 's like you said . he has n't even had a chance to sit with it yet . sam : yeah , i know , but i asked him to tell me how he was feeling . i said maybe if we say it out loud we could take some of the power out of it , and you know what he told me ? he said talking 's not gon na change anything , and he 's right . it 's not gon na change the fact that he 's franco 's brother and franco is my baby 's father . mcbain : what happened with franco is not your fault . sam : no , i know , but it 's not my child 's fault , either . my child did n't choose how it was conceived . mcbain : the best part of that baby is you , and in time , jason will focus on that . sam : you are saying all the things that i want and need to hear , but you 're the last person i should be hearing it from . mcbain : you know , life can be funny that way . sometimes we do n't get to choose who helps us . sam : jason was furious when he found out that i talked to you at my mother 's house . i can not imagine how he 's gon na react when he finds out that you 're the one who gave me franco 's dna sample . jason : just forget it . elizabeth : what 's going on ? jason : elizabeth , you should just get back to work . elizabeth : please , jason . you can talk to me . jason : talking 's not gon na change anything . elizabeth : okay , whatever it is , whatever you tell me , i 'm not gon na say anything . you can trust me . about the dna test -- did you and sam go through genetic counseling ? is there a reason you might think there might be a problem with the baby ? jason : there is a problem with the baby . it is n't mine . spinelli : matt . matt : hey . spinelli : what are you doing here ? matt : elizabeth had to work at the hospital late , so i volunteered to take cam to this super - special advanced screening . yeah ! awesome ! spinelli : i , too , was privileged to procure a ticket . you may be surprised , but i 've been a lifelong comic - book enthusiast . matt : no kidding ! spinelli : and a huge avengers fan ! cameron : me too ! the avengers rock ! spinelli : agreed ! yeah ! matt : [ laughs ] spinelli : yeah , they are the truest of heroes that always bring the evildoers to justice . do you have a favorite avenger ? cameron : the hulk ! matt : oh , i do n't know . iron man 's pretty cool , too . he 's the genius billionaire playboy . he gets to wear that really cool high - tech suit , fly around , save the world , and when he 's not doing that , he 's going to the coolest parties and exotic locales and -- enjoying himself . spinelli : not surprised that you were drawn to the shallowest of superheroes . matt : oh , come on . tony stark has faced down his demons . he is not looking down on the other heroes . he just does n't take himself too seriously . spinelli : it just bugs me that some guys can avoid taking responsibility altogether by simply throwing out a witty one - liner . i - i commend your admiration for the hulk . cameron : i like how he smashes things ! spinelli : yeah ! cameron : grr ! spinelli : yeah , me too . but sometimes , you know , brute strength is n't enough to bring evildoers to justice . sometimes you have to have true intelligence to unmask a villain , especially when they 're in disguise . matt : what 's that supposed to mean ? dante : memphis is way out of my jurisdiction . if the memphis p.d . came here to take him into custody and then moved him , i have no authority . olivia : but could you at least talk to the memphis p.d . ? dante : okay , look . yeah , i can , but you 're gon na tell me what 's going on here . olivia : what 's going on here is that steve 's in trouble and he needs your help , okay ? and in case you forgot , he 's the guy that saved your life last fall when you got shot in the back . dante : he saved your life , too , and i 'm grateful , but that does n't answer my question . why did the memphis p.d . come all the way up here to get him ? olivia : obviously , there was some sort of mistake or -- or something . that 's why you need to go down there . you need to clear this up . dante : ma , steve used to live in memphis , okay ? this incident happened there . i 'm pretty sure you know about it . okay ? cops do not press murder charges lightly . did steve kill someone in memphis ? olivia : no . and yes . johnny : just please hear me out . i can explain . carly : i heard you the first time , johnny . this was n't what it looked like . johnny : it 's not . carly : i believed in you . i trusted you . i mean , my god , that night that i found your shirt with the lipstick on it and then kate shows up at the door wearing the same color ? i thought for a minute , `` oh , my god . it 's kate . `` and then i laughed . i told myself that i was being ridiculous , and you 're damn right i was ridiculous to ever believe anything about you . johnny : this is so much more complicated than you realize . carly : you told me that kate showed up that night to talk about the stupid gun , that she wanted to call you out for framing sonny . you 're a liar ! you 're a liar because you two have been sleeping together for months ! johnny : just to get one over on sonny -- that 's it . carly : oh , my god . sonny ? ! this is about sonny ? so , you 're only sleeping with kate to get back at sonny ? johnny : yeah . carly : and that 's the only reason you were sleeping with me . connie : we did it ! it 's officially the end of kate and sonny . johnny : it 's officially the end of johnny and carly . connie : no big loss there , right ? johnny : [ sighs ] olivia : steve is not a murderer . dante : okay , you got to tell me what happened . it 's the only way i 'll be able to help you . olivia : several years ago , when steve was still working in memphis , he had a patient . it was a prison inmate . he was on life support , and the guy died . dante : and ? olivia : and they wound up using his heart to save a little girl who was a patient of maggie wurth 's . dante : that 's the doctor you were worried about -- the one who had the past with steve ? olivia : exactly . dante : okay , so , what am i missing here ? olivia : okay , there was an investigation into the patient 's death . it was completely routine at the hospital . dante : so , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . are you telling me that steve killed his patient on purpose ? olivia : just let me finish the story . [ sighs ] okay . steve felt the investigation was all finished . it was all over with -- all right ? until johnny went down there and he stirred everything up again . dante : johnny ? olivia : yes ! johnny knew about the incident in memphis . i do n't know how because the only other people who knew about it were steve , myself , and maggie . mcbain : you 're going through a lot , sam . you have the right to handle it any way you need to . sam : [ chuckles ] i do n't think jason agrees with that . mcbain : if he does n't want you talking to me , he never needs to know about it . sam : i do n't like keeping secrets from my husband , especially after what happened with robin , and let 's face it -- he is completely unreasonable when it comes to you . mcbain : he has to feel that way . he knows i 'm here to take sonny down , but none of that has anything to do with you . sam : yeah , i - i know , but he was furious when he found out that i opened up to you at the church . mcbain : good . next time , he wo n't leave you there crying . lesson learned . sam : after you left our apartment , he was like , `` i want you to tell me every time you run into this guy , `` and i ca n't count how many times i 've seen you -- at the pier , at the hospital , the airport . i have n't told him about any of that . mcbain : you 're being too hard on yourself . we -- we arranged to meet exactly one time , to give you franco 's dna sample . sam : yeah , but it 's all those other times , all those other coincidences , that he 's not gon na understand . and i ca n't tell him how much you 've done for me , how you 've listened and supported me when i told you things that i was afraid to tell my own husband . elizabeth : franco raped sam and made you watch ? jason : she -- she was drugged , and -- she did n't remember everything , and i had to -- i had to tell her . [ sighs ] i just wanted to get her to the hospital so she could have an exam and get treatment , but she said she could n't stand it . elizabeth : she showered , did n't she ? she needed to get clean , pretend like it never happened . jason : i 'm sorry i brought this -- i brought this up . elizabeth : i 'm glad you told me . now i know what you and sam have been carrying around since your honeymoon . jason : we thought it was done , it was in the past . franco 's dead . we thought the baby was ours , and -- just -- turns out that it 's franco 's baby . elizabeth : does n't mean you ca n't love this child . lucky loved jake , even after he found out he was yours . and this is the baby you and sam have been looking forward to , the one you were gon na raise together . you can still be the father . you know that , do n't you ? jason : i 'm not sure i do . mcbain : you always planned to tell jason the truth . you only opened up to me 'cause i happened to be there . sam : yeah , and i do n't regret that . mcbain : neither do i. i mean , for one thing , how else would you have gotten franco 's dna sample ? sam : thank you for that . mcbain : forget about it , all right ? i was happy to help . i 'm -- i 'm only sorry it 's caused such a problem for you and jason . sam : jason and i are trying to deal with the fact that the baby is n't his . you really are n't an issue . jason : i do n't know . maybe i 'm a better man than i think . maybe i can be a father to sam 's baby . elizabeth : i have no doubts at all . look at the way you love michael . jason : that was different . you know , i did n't know anything about babies , much less what it meant to be a father , and michael was just -- you know , he was there and he needed me . elizabeth : and this baby 's gon na need you , too . jason : sam and i should be talking about this together , working it out together , but she 's confiding in mcbain , and that 's the problem . johnny : get dressed and get out . connie : hate to break it to you , johnny , but carly 's not gon na forgive you anymore than sonny 's gon na forgive kate . johnny : i do n't give a damn what sonny does . you got what you came here for . now leave . connie : hey , hey , hey , hey . hold on , hot shot . come on , now . we 're both free , and i got to admit the sex was great . does n't have to be a one - time thing . johnny : yeah , it does , because i want carly , not you . connie : well , i hate to admit it , but , you know , your girlfriend left . she ai n't coming back . johnny : i meant what i said . i only did this so i could hurt sonny . connie : is that right ? johnny : yeah . connie : well , you looked like you enjoyed yourself . johnny : well , maybe i let my hatred for him get the best of me . i got to go find carly so i can explain . connie : oh , good luck with that . johnny : get dressed and leave ! connie : hey , johnny ! come on ! one more round ! come on . we can do it for kicks . johnny : it 's over , connie . do n't you get it ? it 's done ! connie : what 's done ? johnny : done ! connie ? kate : [ gasps ] [ gasps ] [ gasps ] johnny : kate ? sonny : it 's not a good time . carly : never got a chance to wish you a happy birthday . quite a birthday present , huh -- finding kate in bed with johnny ? sonny : not what i expected , carly . [ sighs ] carly : gifts from kate ? sonny : yeah , yeah . they were , but now they 're in the ashes . carly : she lured you back into her life just so she could screw you over . sonny : she was not in bed alone . carly : she threw herself at johnny . what the hell was he supposed to do ? he 's a man . sonny : okay , you want -- he 's a piece of garba -- you want to blame somebody , you blame johnny . carly : did you see them in bed together ? ! kate was in complete control ! kate : get away from me ! [ crying ] i was gon na tell sonny . i -- he was with me , and i had made arrangements for help . johnny : just take it easy . kate : connie -- connie -- connie was -- was there . she was in the mirror . she was taunting me . oh , my god . she took over . what am i doing here ? ! johnny : kate . kate . kate : connie -- i know what she wanted ! she wanted to -- she wanted to have sex with you so that sonny would walk in and break up with me . johnny : kate , please settle -- kate : please , god . please do n't say -- please tell me that she did n't do it -- i mean , i did n't have sex with you . johnny : i ca n't tell you that . kate : no ! dante : johnny must be holding this memphis thing over steve 's head . olivia : exactly . johnny has changed , hon . he 's doing stuff now that i never would have thought he was capable of . dante : that explains the connection to the organ - trafficking ring that ronnie and i busted up -- why this guy named steve . johnny must have been using him to facilitate things from the hospital . olivia : well , that 's all over with now . dante : yeah , thanks to an anonymous tip that we got from sonny 's people , i 'm assuming . i expect this kind of crap from sonny , but you getting involved in a situation like this ? olivia : honey , steve did n't want anything to do with johnny . dante : why are you defending him ? olivia : because steve is a good man . he only did what he felt he needed to do . and he could be put away for life if he 's convicted of murder . matt : hey , bud , you brought your headphones , right ? cameron : yes . matt : why do n't you rock out for a little bit ? spinelli and i need to talk about something , okay ? cameron : okay . matt : all right . thanks , bud . please tell me you are not still stuck on this notion that my brother somehow killed niles and just blacked the whole thing out . spinelli : all i 'm saying is that it 's possible for someone to commit a violent crime in the heat of the moment -- matt : and then just completely forget about it ? spinelli : take bruce banner as a case in point . matt : it 's a comic book , spinelli , okay ? my brother did not bludgeon lisa and then throw her overboard and then just block it out . spinelli : memory is flawed , imperfect . i mean , there are countless psychological studies of eyewitnesses recalling the very same event but in markedly different ways . matt : yeah . when i was in med school , i had to take plenty of psych classes , and a lot of them spoke to subjective memory . my brother killing lisa -- it does not fit in that scenario . spinelli : when was the last time you saw your brother that night ? matt : [ sighs ] in the boat salon . spinelli : okay . matt : we -- we -- we had a disagreement . spinelli : okay . who initiated the hostilities ? matt : it was n't hostilities . my brother and i just grate on each other every once in a while . in fact , that night , he was being very nice . he was paying me a compliment and saying that i deserve the party and i just should n't let things go to my head , which i took as an insult or that he was saying that i was n't as good of a surgeon as he was , and the whole thing went downhill . spinelli : did it come to blows ? matt : no , it did n't come to blows . he said something snarky , and he walked off . and just so you know , he did n't have a wrench in his hand . spinelli : but you -- you s - stayed in the salon ? matt : yeah . yeah , i did . i , uh , wanted to be close to the champagne bottle . what can i say ? no , elizabeth came and we talked , and i 'm not telling you anything that i have n't already said a million times before . spinelli : i do n't know . maybe the change of environment will stimulate your memory , help you recall details that have eluded you so far ? matt : what details ? what are you talking about ? my brother is the suspect , not me . spinelli : okay , look -- you said that you left the salon at some point , right , to go find elizabeth ? d - did you see anyone ? matt : the whole thing , you know , is a blur . i was , yes , calling for elizabeth , trying to find her . spinelli : yeah . which -- which deck were you on ? matt : all of them . any of them . i do n't know . spinelli : were you ever on the deck where lisa was murdered ? matt : spinelli , it does n't matter how many times you ask me , how many different ways . i did n't see my brother kill lisa because he did n't do it . cameron : hey , uh , it 's open , matt . matt : oh , thanks , bud . you 're absolutely right . we 're going right now . let it go , spinelli . i know you 're trying to help maxie , and i appreciate that . but you 're -- you 're way off base here . you need to find another suspect . all right , buddy . come on . line 's back here . line 's back here . [ speaking indistinctly ] spinelli : i have another suspect , all right . and i would accuse you to your face , but i - i genuinely believe that you do not remember . but i ca n't stay silent and let maxie descend herself to prison for a crime that she most certainly did not commit . life is simpler in comic books . jason : sam keeps telling mcbain everything since that first time she met him at the church . elizabeth : are you sure ? jason : yeah . we were up on the bridge . she was at the queen of angels , telling mcbain about all our problems . elizabeth : well , maybe it 's just one of those times where it 's easier to talk to a stranger . jason : she asked him to help her get franco 's dna before she even told me there was a problem . elizabeth : i 'm sure she was trying to protect you . jason : yeah , that 's a nice word for `` lie . `` elizabeth : i know what sam was thinking . she was trying to soften the blow and did n't realize it was making everything worse . jason : if i had n't shown up at g.h . for the checkup -- sam might have had mcbain beside her for that dna test . you know , maybe that 's why she did n't want me there . elizabeth : you do n't know that . jason : i do n't know anything because she 's telling him . she 's not telling me a thing . sam : why is it that every time i 'm alone with bad news , i turn around and there you are ? mcbain : i do n't know . fate or maybe , once in my life , i have really excellent timing . sam : joke all you want , but it 's -- i do n't know . it 's the universe has kind of thrown us together for some reason . why ? mcbain : i do n't know , sam . i 'm not real smart with those kind of things . sam : i mean , you agree it 's weird , right ? mcbain : i would say it 's unexpected . sam : unexpected , yes . strange . familiar . it 's like i knew you before , and i do n't know why . i mean , tell me i 'm crazy . is it crazy , or do you feel the same way ? mcbain : you 're not crazy .

jason : franco 's late . jake : he 'll be here . he hardly ever misses art therapy with me . jason : but he 's missed before ? jake : mm , not a lot of times . jason : ahh . well , then , i need to have a talk with your mother . if this is the way franco 's gon na treat you , i do n't think he 's the right person to help you . [ scene_break ] monica : franco . franco ! franco : you rang ? monica : what 's in the box ? franco : organs . explosives . i do n't know . anything that 'll get you to leave me alone . monica : you are such an idiot . but i do n't think you 're that self - destructive as to bring a box of contraband in the hospital . so , what the hell is going on ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : i may have some good news about your case . carlos : you may ? you 're not sure ? alexis : i 've been reviewing the evidence , and as it stands , i think the prosecution 's case against you is dubious . carlos : that sounds like great news to me . alexis : assuming that sabrina does n't suddenly reappear in port charles . will she ?

[ sighs ] julian : yeah . okay , i just came by to pick up the financial reports that you were supposed to e - mail me yesterday . nina : financials . julian : mm - hmm . nina : okay . julian : yeah , just because you have autonomy does n't mean that you can keep me and by extension the magazine 's parent company , out of the loop . nina : okay . yeah . you and your loops . i have the financials somewhere . just relax . i 'm getting them . they 're here . julian : come on , nina . i do n't have all day . let 's go . nina : just relax ! relax ! i 'm getting you your financials .

[ scene_break ] carlos : the less we talk about sabrina , the better for both of us . alexis : okay . using as few words as possible , is there a chance sabrina will return to port charles ? carlos : no . alexis : is she dead ? what ? carlos : no . no . she 's -- she 's fine . alexis : then what 's stopping her from returning and testifying ? carlos : oh , you mean besides her undying love and loyalty to me ? believe me . she wo n't come back . why are you asking me ? alexis : well , because there 's a videotape where she states that you confessed to murdering duke lavery . so if we ca n't subpoena her and i ca n't cross- examine her , then i can get her statement tossed . and without that , the prosecution 's case will fall apart , because there is very little physical evidence , no prints on the gun , a little dna that takes you to the scene , but it 's not conclusive . carlos : so everybody knows i did it , but no one can prove it . [ laughs ] sweet ! alexis : yeah , you 're a lucky boy . carlos : so , what do we do next ? alexis : i cited the lack of evidence in a pre - trial motion to dismiss . carlos : okay . what are the chances of that ? alexis : i think the chances are good that the motion will be granted and you get to go free . carlos : nice work . [ laughs ] but there still is one major problem . alexis : what ? carlos : sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] ric : well , your hunch was right . alexis filed a motion to dismiss . sonny : will it be granted ? ric : i do n't know , sonny . rumor has it that the prosecution 's case is full of holes , and if that 's so , the chances of the motion being granted are pretty good . sonny : so , carlos is gon na walk out of jail a free man ? ric : well , we could re - file the charges once sabrina is found , provided that the case is dismissed without prejudice . sonny : what are the chances ? ric : hard to say . sonny : so , you think carlos is just gon na wait around to get charged again ? i mean , he 's gon na walk out of court , right , and he 's gon na blow like the wind . ric : well , what are you gon na do ? you gon na kill him ? [ scene_break ] nina : [ sniffles ] oh . thank you . i 'm sorry . julian : no , no . clearly you needed to let that out . nina : yeah . [ blows nose ] thank you . julian : no , thanks . you keep it . just in case . nina : oh . okay . just so you know , this has nothing to do with crimson . we 're doing great . and , um ... i 'll get you those financials . julian : yeah . no problem . just e - mail them to before the end of the day , which is ... nina : now , because -- julian : yeah . well , you 're an executive . you set your own damn hours , right ? nina : right , right . julian : yeah . okay .

[ scene_break ] jason : what 's this ? jake : a puppy ! franco : yeah , i 'm surprised you missed that , what , with the floppy ear and the waggy little tail . jason : what are you doing ? franco : i think it 's pretty self - explanatory . jason : you should n't get my son all excited about a dog he ca n't keep . franco : i gave the kid the puppy , because i want the kid to keep the puppy . kid ca n't keep the dog , that 's not my decision . you want to make yourself the bad guy , nothing i can do to stop you . i 've learned over these many years that i ca n't make you say or do anything . jake : can i keep her , dad ? jason : hey , buddy , i 'm sorry , but there 's just not enough room at grandma aubrey 's house for a dog , and your mom does n't have time to take care of her , though she 's cute . jake : ca n't you keep her for me ? jason : no , son , i ca n't . dogs need people to take care of them at all times , and i just -- i ca n't do that , you know ? jake : but i want her ! jason : yeah , i see that . so , if you 're serious about getting a dog , maybe we can revisit this conversation when you 're older . jake : but i want this one . franco gave it to me . jason : look . i am sorry , son . okay ? but puppies are n't just some sort of toy that you can put down when you 're tired of playing with them , okay ? they need attention , they need love all the time . jake : but i would n't get tired of her ! ever ! jason : look , son . it would n't be right for us to take in a dog that we do n't have the proper home for . you understand ? jake : why are you being so mean ? jason : look . son . no puppy . end of story . you got it ? jake : i hate you , dad !

[ scene_break ] alexis : honey , i know that you 're disappointed in me , but i also know that you know from your own father that sometimes the people that you love come with baggage , that they make mistakes . molly : so you 're admitting that defending carlos is a mistake , that you 're compromising your personal and professional ethics . alexis : no , molly . i 'm telling you that this is not black - and - white . and you are seeing this as if it 's only black and white , and the world does not always work that way . molly : sometimes it does . some things are just right or wrong . and defending carlos rivera is wrong . there is no gray area about the things that he 's done or the people that he 's hurt . the man is pure evil . alexis : you know , molly , you throw around the term `` pure evil `` as if you know what you 're talking about . come over here . molly : okay , mom . you 're starting to freak me out . alexis : i 'm not gon na stab you with it , molly . i want you to look at it . i want you to really look at this , because this was used to end my mother 's life . helena used this to cut my mother 's throat right in front of me . that is evil . it does n't diminish what carlos did . he 's a bad man who does bad things to people who do bad things , but is he evil ? maybe . but not compared to this . so , do you see ? when i tell you that this is not black - and - white , it is not that simple . molly : i ca n't even imagine how horrible that must have been for you . alexis : i hope that you never can . molly : but is n't what helena did all the more reason you should n't be helping out another murderer now ? alexis : molly , have you not listened to anything that i have said to you ? molly : every word , mom . and what helena is to you , maybe carlos is to anna and uncle sonny , certainly to duke . i know you , mom . i know there was a time you would have refused to defend carlos . and the only reason you 're defending him now is because of julian . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : a dog ? nina : a dog . yeah . we ca n't have a baby of our own . no one will let us adopt because , well -- julian : yes , yes . i do recall . nina : and knowing how badly i want a baby , my boyfriend says , `` hey , you know what ? hey . i do n't want to have a kid with you , but here 's a dog . `` julian : well , it could have been worse . i mean , he could have brought you a lizard , a goldfish , or a car . nina : yeah , well , i ca n't wait to see what 's waiting at home for me . julian : you know , nina . [ clears throat ] when i first came to port charles , i had no idea that i had kids . then all of a sudden , there 's lucas and sam and -- nina : okay , wait . i know you 're not trying to rub it in . julian : no , no , no . i 'm sorry . of course not . what i 'm trying to say is i love my kids . and i know how lucky i am to have them . so i just want to say i 'm sorry , you know , that it does n't look like you 're gon na , you know , experience that . nina : why ? i mean , honestly , you should hate me . julian : why 's that ? because you stole my sister 's baby literally right out of her womb and ran off to canada ? yeah , no , i do n't hate you . i 'm not gon na forget about it , but i do somewhat understand . and let 's be honest . when you 're talking about me , it 's kind of like glass houses . nina : yeah . well , at least someone understands me . my boyfriend does n't understand . i mean , to be honest , all of this having a baby and not being able to have one , wanting one , it just -- it 's hard on me , and franco 's just relieved . julian : you know , i 'm gon na tell you something 'cause clearly nobody 's leveled with you . here 's the thing . men , we 're kind of stupid sometimes . nina : oh , no . i got that . julian : yeah , good . and i 'm sure you also got that i do n't really care for franco . in fact , i kind of despise him . so ... nina : i wish i did . julian : i would never say anything about franco that would be mistaken as nice , so let 's call this an objective observation , okay ? nina : okay . julian : i am sorry about this whole dog situation , but franco clearly cares about you . nina : well , maybe he does . but the more i think about it , the more i 'm not sure he really knows who i am at all . just like i 'm not sure if i know the real franco , either . [ scene_break ] jason : we 're gon na find jake a new therapist before you can do any real damage . franco : that 's not up to you . jason : oh , i 'm sure elizabeth is gon na agree with me . franco : yeah , i 'm not so sure about that . jason : not only did you blow jake off today , you gave my son something he could n't keep , and you upset him . franco : no . i did n't upset your son . you did . having a puppy would do jake a world of good . jason : what do you know about doing anybody any good ? franco : plenty of research to support the idea . jason : here we go . franco : having a pet helps a trauma survivor , helps them work through all of their issues . jason : you did n't bring that dog in here today to help my son . franco : no , you 're right . jason : and you were n't gon na help him by giving him a dog . franco : well , i sure as hell did n't try and hurt him . jake 's a lonely kid . he 's been through a lot . all that -- whatever happened on cassadine island . and you pay all this lip service to jake about love and loyalty , but right now , you 're all about sam and the son that you have with her , and jake knows that . jason : did you tell jake that ? did you plant that lie in his head ? franco : no ! i did n't have to tell jake anything . he can see for himself . jason : oh , yeah ? franco : and if you were paying attention at all , you would know that jake is a lonely kid . he 's a really lonely kid . he reminds me a lot of myself at that age . jason : you need to watch yourself right now . my son is nothing like you . [ scene_break ] michael : well , that was a bust . we 're no closer to finding sabrina than when we got here . felix : hey , were n't you the guy who said that if we hit a dead end , we 'll just find another road ? michael : yeah . that was me . inocencia said that if sabrina was in puerto rico , she would have contacted her already . felix : was tia inocencia on to something ? i mean , the only reason we came here is because carlos said so , but frankly , if that man told me my name was felix dubois , i 'd have to check my driver 's license . michael : maybe carlos was telling my father what he thought he wanted to hear . felix : or maybe they were here and this is where they decided to split up . michael : so it was a half - truth . felix : which is also muy , muy rivera . i mean , the sad truth is sabrina could be a block away or 10,000 miles away . there 's no way to know for sure . michael : of course , there is . [ scene_break ] franco : how can you tell me that jake is nothing like me when you do n't know me at all ? you never did . and anything you did know about me , you 've forgotten , right ? and it 's not like you 've made any effort to get to know me now . jason : i think i know enough . i know your history . i know that you 're a stalker . i know that you 're a kidnapper . franco : right . who the hell are you to judge me ? what , you think , because you got paid to kill people that you 're somehow more respectable ? what is this ? i do n't understand . what , you fried your brain so now all of a sudden , you 're a respectable guy , and you do n't have to take any responsibility for what you 've done ? jason : okay . franco : i 'll tell you what , jason . i 'll tell you the truth . i 'll be your witness . you 're a killer , jason . that 's all you have been , and that 's all you 'll ever be . [ scene_break ] nina : maybe i 'll never know the real franco . maybe no one ever knows the real anyone . everybody has secrets . everybody has lies . and the people who lie to us the most are the people we love , and it 's only fair because that 's who we 're lying to . oh , my god ! that sucks ! julian : [ sighs ] nina : julian ? julian : i just remembered i have a meeting to prepare for , so just good luck with franco and everything else . nina : okay . did i hit a nerve ? julian : just get me the financials , okay ? i have other things to deal with right now , okay ? nina : you mean carlos rivera ? julian : what ? nina : you know i researched my publisher , do n't you ? before you retired from the organization , carlos rivera was your right hand man . he probably knows a thing or two about you that you would n't want anybody else knowing . julian : yeah , well , any business that i had with carlos rivera , that was a long time ago . nina : right . in another life . julian : [ chuckles ] nina : you 're just like me . you worked and you changed . just like me . julian : [ sighs ] nina : but people have long memories . and depending on the statute of limitations , so do the courts . julian : i 'm only gon na say this once , nina . everything that 's going on with carlos , including and especially duke lavery 's murder , it has nothing to do with me . nina : okay . well , all i know is we were getting along great , and all of a sudden , you 're in a foul mood . you say it 's not because of carlos . i 'll believe you . you were just so kind , offering to listen to me , i thought i would return your kindness . julian : [ sighs ] nina : so , what 's wrong ? julian : i think you need to worry about your own problems because , believe me , i can handle my own . [ scene_break ] alexis : molly , please le -- please leave julian out of it . molly : i ca n't do that , mom , because it would n't be honest . and at the moment , honesty is in short supply . you and julian wanted kristina and me to accept your marriage , and i did accept it , because i wanted you to be happy . i still want that . alexis : i am -- i am happy with him . molly : i do n't believe that , because the only way you would ever agree to defend carlos is if julian forced you to . alexis : nobody forces me to do anything , molly . molly : okay , then pressured . somehow julian pressured you into defending a man who hurt kristina and me by hurting people we love . you are an excellent lawyer , mom . for all i know , you could get carlos acquitted . you 'll be the reason he gets away with murder . alexis : so , what now ? you hate me ? molly : i could never hate you , mom . but right now , i get the feeling that you might hate yourself .

[ scene_break ] molly : and what helena is to you , maybe carlos is to anna and uncle sonny , certainly to duke . i know you , mom . i know there was a time when you would have refused to defend carlos . and the only reason you 're defending him now is because of julian .

[ scene_break ] jax : so how did michael and morgan work out their differences over the video game ? carly : they did n't , actually . when i finally got sick and tired of them glaring at each other or slamming things around , i made them sit down and play pirates dice with me . jax : board game with their mother ? that 's cruel . carly : and if they were rude or slammed the dice or cheated , i added another 15 minutes . jax : really ? carly : yep . i was the referee . only my opinion mattered . no arguments , no instant replays . jax : how did that work out for you ? carly : once they calmed down , it was a lot of fun . it was . we played for 3 hours . and morgan , he went and made popcorn and covered it with butter , just the way michael loves it . and michael , he kept giving hints of strategy to morgan so he could win . and he kept doing it in this jack sparrow voice , and it was , um ... it was hilarious .

[ scene_break ] lucky : dad 's lived a pretty hard life . and at some point , it has to catch up with you . but i always thought he was above all of that somehow , you know . like , he could always talk his way out of any problem , run any con , survive any heart attack . i just never saw him as an ordinary mortal . sonny : the thing about your dad is you know he grew up with an abusive father who beat him and bobbie and anybody else who got in his way . and i think that -- and i can identify with this -- he does n't want to become his dad . lucky : but he 's not . he never was . that 's the thing . i mean , i had an incredible childhood . i hardly got yelled at , you know . i mean , me , my dad , and my mom , we were a team . and that was when he was happiest , when we were a family . we were underground living on the road . sonny : for years , he tried to be the best father he can be . and he made a lot of mistakes . we all do . but he tried real hard at being a good father . lucky : i know . sonny : and he would n't do anything deliberately to hurt you . and he ran down your kid , you know ? so i think part of him feels like he ran over you . as hard as he tried to be a great father , that died when your boy died . look . what he said to me was he thinks that you 're blaming the alcohol 'cause you ca n't stand to blame him . lucky : i do n't know , man . maybe . i mean , look . the booze has been an issue for years . we just looked the other way . sonny : i know that , you know , you 're going to forgive him eventually , but i 'm just saying to you that i do n't think he can forgive himself . lucky : no . he 's not going to be able to . as long as he 's burying the pain with alcohol and running from everything , he 's not going to be able to forgive himself . sonny : i used to love seeing you two together -- i do n't know if i ever told you -- because it made me want to be a father , 'cause i 'd see luke , and i thought , `` hey , you know , if he can do it after everything he 's been through , i can do it , too . `` lucky : you know , i think i still have some pictures from that camping trip -- sonny : oh , in the woods , yeah , where you forced us to pierce your ear with the fish hook . and what did you put on -- we put something on it -- lucky : bourbon , probably . sonny : no , tequila . [ lucky and sonny laugh ] sonny : i tell you what , you could have got infected . lucky : yeah . well , you know , my dad had a pierced ear , so i had to have one . i always wanted to be just like him . i think that 's , you know -- i mean , i 'm sure that 's probably why i fought him so hard and why i was so devastated when i found out he was human after all . see , even with that , i always assumed that i could dump all my anger on him 'cause he could take it . i never thought that he would actually break down . you never think that your father is going to let his demons take over . sonny : look . your dad does not want you to see him like the guy who ran over your kid , ok ? we all know -- we all know that drinking and driving is wrong . lucky : yes . sonny : ok . but just think about it -- just for a second -- the responsibility that he has to carry around with him every minute . lucky : sonny , he is responsible . sonny : i know . lucky : that 's the thing . he made a choice to drink and drive , ok ? he 's a high functioning alcoholic , and he 's been that way for years . i mean , we just looked the other day because i do n't think any of us really understood that dad can mess up this bad , and that a child would have to pay for it . and now , my dad 's in freefall . sonny : what are you going to do ? lucky : i do n't know . i guess i 'm going to try to catch him . [ scene_break ] dante : michael said you like these . abby : thanks . dante : thank you for getting my brother out of here . abby : i only want what 's best for michael . dante : i know . i meant what i said before , about you being great for my brother . look . you were brave to file charges against brandon , and i know it must have been tough with that lawyer , angela dwyer , threatening to provoke him on the stand and get brandon out on bail . abby : it was . dante : i 'm afraid for my brother . abby : so am i . dante : and we 'd both probably do whatever it takes to keep him from going back to pentonville , right ? my brother 's invested in you , abby . that 's one of the reasons why i want help . abby : what 's happening between me and michael is not one - sided . he saved my life , too . dante : you 're not going to talk to me , right ? oh . i just hope to god you did n't say anything to jason , and he 's out there right now putting together a cover - up , 'cause that would be the worst thing you could do . you know , you could get out of this pretty easily with a plea bargain . diane miller is going to put together a deal that is better than most . the best thing for michael is to resolve this as soon as possible . abby : i hate brandon , and i should have never dropped those charges . but i did n't kill him . and no amount of lattes or family small talk or you acting like you actually give a damn is going to make me say i did . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] sam : hey , how 'd it go at the pcpd ? uh - oh . not well , i take it . michael : abby 's spending the night in lock - up . sam : what ? i thought she was cleared as a suspect . jason : yeah . ronnie came up with an eyewitness , a regular at vaughn 's who says he saw abby shoot brandon . sam : do we have a name ? jason : no . sam : no . ok . um , i can have spinelli hack into the pcpd mainframe and see what we can find out . and if we can get a name , he can go into his bank account records and see if there 's any sort of payoff . michael : yeah . that sounds good . thank you . sam : ok . um , an eyewitness is n't always reliable , anyway . michael : no , he 's a setup . he 's obviously lying . jason : not necessarily . maybe the eyewitness is telling the truth as he saw it . sam : hmm . michael : you mean , he saw a woman he thought was abby shoot brandon . sam : maybe the eyewitness was set up . jason : that 's possible . michael : why would anyone want to do that to abby ? jason : well , that 's what we got to figure out . who benefits from framing abby ? [ scene_break ] dante : yeah , i used to believe that things were black and white , right or wrong . and then , i found out sonny was my father and michael was my brother . i will always protect michael , even though he does n't always make it easy . but at the same time , i 'm a cop , abby , and i really have to find out what happened here . abby : i did n't do it . neither did michael . dante : i understand you do n't trust the system . but if you killed brandon , you had good reason . there was a pattern of violence . you were fearing for your life . abby : come on , detective . i dropped the charges , had no restraining order , did n't follow through with any of my prior attacks . you told me this all yourself . a good prosecutor can easily make it look like i set brandon up . that would mean premeditated murder . i could spend the rest of my life in prison . i do n't know what 's really going on here . but if you care about michael as much as you say you do , then you will stop harassing me , and you will start trying to find out . dante : all right . let 's assume that you 're right . it was a set - up . let 's assume that you and michael and jason had nothing to do with it . who would want to make it look like you did ?

[ voice breaking ] i do n't remember anything else . ewen : until you resurfaced in johnny zacchara 's bedroom ? kate : [ sobs ] i ca n't believe i slept with him . ewen : connie slept with him , kate . kate : no , sonny thinks it was me that did it . i do n't think he 'll ever forgive me for that . i do n't -- i do n't think i 'll be able to forgive myself . ewen : you have a mental illness , and what happened tonight was not your fault . kate : there is no explanation that will erase from sonny 's mind the picture of me in bed naked with johnny . anna : jason is sonny 's right hand . i mean , if we could get something on him or -- or just turn him somehow , it 'd be an easy matter to break sonny . that being said , i have serious reservations about you using his wife . mcbain : i 'm not using sam . i would never involve her in my investigation ever . anna : okay . then why the hell do you keep seeking her out ? mcbain : i - i told you . our meetings have been by accident . anna : no . do n't insult me . a good investigator knows how to make these little accidents happen . mcbain : you know , i 'm just not very good , then , because it 's all been very serendipitous . i -- i admit , i feel for her and i -- i want to help her . anna : you want to help her ? mcbain : mm - hmm . anna : have you discussed any of these accidental encounters with natalie ? mcbain : there 's nothing between me and sam . anna : just this feeling that you know her from somewhere . mcbain : look , i helped her out with something . that 's it . anna : fine . i accept that . but then i 'm not the young woman who 's the mother of your child . mcbain : noted . you were right about going back to llanview . natalie and i talked things through , and -- we 're solid . anna : you 're solid ? mcbain : mm . anna : so , natalie does n't have any doubts about you staying away for another two months to investigate sonny ? jason : why did -- why did you want mcbain with you for the dna test ? sam : i only met him at the hospital so he could give me a sample of franco 's dna . jason : that 's your contact at the fbi that you -- that you could n't tell me about . sam : he called in a favor for me . he offered his help . jason : how did he even know that you needed a sample of franco 's dna anyway , sam ? you told him that day at alexis 's house ? sam : [ voice breaking ] jason , roughly an hour before i got to my mother 's house , i - i had just been at ferncliff , and i just had found out that franco was your twin brother and that the dna sample that we already did was meaningless . so , yes , i went to my mother 's house because i needed advice . i needed somebody to talk to . jason : and you talked to mcbain instead . sam : i was upset . it just came out . jason : you could n't -- you could n't -- you could n't help yourself ? sam : jason , i just -- i needed someone . jason : why not talk to your mom or talk to me ? ! sam : okay , you 're right ! i needed him ! jason : you needed john mcbain ? sam : i felt like i was drowning , jason . he was there . jason : yeah , he was there , just like the church , just like the hospital . any -- anyplace else ? i mean , after you got the dna sample , you told him everything about franco , me , and the baby . was -- was that it ? sam : none of this matters . jason : yes , it does matter . did you see him again after that ? where , sam ? sam : on the pier . jason : when ? sam : [ sighs ] after i got the results back . jason : so , you -- you walked out of the hospital with the test results , and then what ? sam : i had the envelope in my hand , and i went down to the pier to read them alone . jason : and -- and he was just -- he was just there ? sam : i did n't invite him . i just ran into him , jason . it was an accident . jason : sam , just tell me that you did n't open the envelope in front of him . please -- that you did n't share the results with him . sam : i am so sorry . i did . mcbain : and you were right . when i told natalie everything about my sister and how she died , she understands why i have to go after sonny . anna : you ever gon na tell me the whole story ? you know , if you want me to help you put sonny away , i think i need to know what he did . tracy : so , we know that somebody has already tried to kill anthony . luke : yes , and we know it was n't corinthos , according to a jury of his peers . tracy : no , but it 's perfectly reasonable to think that whoever did do it might try to kill him again . luke : right . so , kick back , cross your fingers , and just wait . eventually , one of his other enemies is gon na do your job for you . tracy : well , if some unfortunate accident happened to befall anthony , the obvious choice for the perpetrator would be the one who shot out his tires . luke : possibly . tracy : and then the actual perpetrator would never be suspected . luke : the actual perpetrator ? tracy : yes . someone who 's smart and subtle enough to take care of a problem . luke : tracy , are you asking me to kill your husband ? anthony : where 's the champagne ? oh , come on , john . we should be celebrating . johnny : why am i not surprised to see you reacting like this ? anthony : i knew you 'd realize the advantages of taking kate to bed . johnny : connie . i slept with connie , all right ? anthony : [ chuckling ] who the hell cares what she calls herself ? the point is , you took something from sonny and put your mark on it . johnny : who cares about collateral damage , right , as long as sonny 's the one who 's hurting ? anthony : my point exactly . i can just imagine the look on sonny 's face when he walked in on you and kate doing the deed . johnny : yeah , he had a gun . fired a couple of shots over the bed . anthony : good . he 's losing control . johnny : he 's not the only one . anthony : now we got to move , john . it 's time to muscle in on sonny 's business while he 's distracted . this is exactly the opening we 've been looking for . that crazy broad just dropped sonny 's territory right in our lap . johnny : kate 's crazy , right ? just like claudia was crazy ? and they -- they get what they -- anthony : enough with your sister -- enough with claudia . why bring her up now ? johnny : i guess you do n't see the parallel , but i do . kate was n't a willing participant . she 's a mentally ill woman , and i took advantage of that . anthony : i saw the way that woman came on to you . there was no advantage being taken . johnny : she was n't the same woman . all right , my actions tonight -- they destroyed lives . i let my hatred for sonny blind me of everything else . anthony : do n't second - guess yourself , john . sonny got everything he deserved . johnny : screw sonny ! i 'm the one who has to pay for what i did ! i took advantage of a mentally unstable woman , and i may have lost carly forever ! sonny : why tonight ? why hide the affair for months and then pick my birthday to get careless ? carly : is n't it obvious ? johnny picked the right moment to hurt you the most . sonny : maybe . carly : hey . that night that claudia lost her mind , when you went off on her in front of everyone , that was her birthday , was n't it ? sonny : are you saying that johnny waited all this time to pay me back ? carly : i just think johnny took the chance when he saw it . sonny : why -- why would kate go along with him ? i mean , does she hate me -- does she hate me that much ? carly : you tell me . sonny : when i first walked -- into the apartment , it was all wrecked , and i - i saw them . at first , i thought that -- that johnny forced himself on her . carly : he did n't . sonny : she sat on his bed right next to him and said to me that that 's where she wanted to be . kate : i hate her . i hate connie for what she did to me , what she did to sonny . ewen : why do n't you call sonny and have him meet us at shadybrook ? kate : he wo n't take my call . ewen : then i 'll call . i 'll explain to him that you 're suffering from a serious illness and that you 're being admitted for treatment . kate : [ voice breaking ] i do n't want sonny to see me at shadybrook . oh , god . it 's so pathetic . ewen : there is no shame in seeking treatment . it 's better by far to confront your illness than to hide from it . kate : hiding her made it worse , doctor . connie won . by keeping her a secret , i let her beat me . ewen : she 's not going to win , kate . we wo n't let her . connie emerges when you feel afraid or weak , but you 're strong , okay , all on your own . you 're -- you 're taking the first step towards healing . give me sonny 's number , and i 'll make the call . sonny : for months , kate 's been a little off . i know she 's under a lot of pressure , and , uh , she 'd call me to meet her somewhere and she would n't show up . she -- she would text me . she would n't remember . i 'd ask her about it , and she 'd get tense . carly : she was sneaking around , seeing johnny . sonny : but -- she loved me . i mean , you know , you should -- you should have seen when i got shot -- how emotional . and -- and all she wanted to do was keep me safe . carly : okay . all right . well , she probably got so upset when you were shot because she realized she did n't want to deal with your life long - term and that she did n't have to cover her affair with johnny anymore . sonny : maybe . maybe . but you know what ? there is one time when i called her -- and she told me to meet her at the metro court , so i go to the metro court , and i get there , and the -- the waitress says to me that she left with a man . carly : sonny , it was johnny . sonny : i 'm not sure . carly : sonny , what are you doing ? you 're trying to excuse the inexcusable . sonny : i want answers . carly : sometimes the simplest answer is the right one . sonny : i just got a feeling about this . what if she did n't leave with -- with johnny and she left with another man ? carly : who ? who ? !

[ scene_break ] robin : this is what i hate about carly . everyone knows that she 's horrible , and we see right through her , but sometimes she makes us doubt ourselves . brenda : no , no , no , but listen to what i 'm saying . sonny is holding back from me . he is . robin : maybe because lucian is new in his life . brenda : or maybe because carly is making sonny choose between his two families . robin : sonny would n't do that . have a little bit more faith in your husband . brenda : ok , i do have faith in my husband , but here 's the truth . robin : hmm ? brenda : ohm ! ok , he is already making me feel like i am being pushed out of his family with carly . robin : do n't take carly 's bait , please . brenda : i 'm telling you , something 's going on with michael . he 's in some kind of trouble . i do n't know if you know anything about it . ok , well , sonny 's snarky lawyer sat here and she said that she was instructed not to give out any details about michael 's trouble to me . robin : did you ask sonny about that ? brenda : yeah , of course i asked sonny . you know i confront him about everything . and he said it was being handled . he kind of brushed it off . he said that , um , carly is very volatile right now and he does n't want to upset her , so it would be really helpful for him if i stayed out of it . robin : it sounds like sonny 's trying to please everyone . brenda : well , i 'm not into it . michael is not sonny 's biological son any more than lucian is . so why does he have such a soft spot for michael and not for lucian ? robin : ok , i know it 's hard to not take this personally , but maybe this is not about sonny choosing carly 's kids over yours . brenda : you think that maybe sonny 's just afraid to open his heart to one more child ? robin : sonny is cautious by nature . i mean , suzanne shows up out of the blue , has this 3-year - old little boy , insisting it 's your son -- brenda : i know , i know , but , you know , she kept lucian a secret to protect him from theo . so , that 's why she -- robin : i understand that , but she also pretended she was your friend and told you that your son was dead . brenda : yeah , i know , but i , you know , doubt every word that 's come out of this woman 's mouth . i did n't just accept her story blindly . robin : i know . you should trust your instincts . all i 'm saying is that on some level maybe suzanne is still angry with what happened with her son . you know , even if you did it in self - defense . brenda : i know . of course she 's angry about that . of course . but why would she do this ? i mean , this is her grandchild and i did n't even know about him , so she could have just taken off with him . i mean , you know , i think that this woman really loves her grandchild , you know , and she wants him to be with his real mother . robin : what does sonny think ? brenda : sonny wants to check her story out and make sure that lucian 's mine . robin : well , then you can do that . that 's easy . get a simple dna test and put sonny 's mind at ease . [ scene_break ] kristina : ethan . come and save me from my calculus before my brain melts . are you ok ? ethan : [ sighs ] no . i 'd like to join you in that brain melt , actually . kristina : what happened ? ethan : you know , luke 's in a bad way after hitting jake , and there 's a lot of spencer family angst over whether or not he was drunk . kristina : did n't they say it was an accident ? ethan : yeah . but it 's still hard for luke to process . you know , he 's wracked with guilt , he 's diving head - first into a bottle and trying to punish himself . kristina : it sounds like your family 's having a hard time . ethan : yeah . well , it may just get worse . they 're -- lucky 's proposing this intervention . kristina : you mean where the family confronts the person about their addiction ? ethan : yeah . exactly . and to my shock and dismay , i agree . kristina : you think it 'll work ? ethan : no . i think it 's gon na crash and burn in spectacular fashion . but i do n't know what else to do . you know ? so now all we got ta do is find luke and then sit in a room with family i just met a few years ago while they try to convince him that he has a drinking problem . you want to give me odds on how well that 'll work ? kristina : you 've helped me when i needed it . i 'm sure you 'll do the same to help your father , too .

[ scene_break ] ethan : you know , when i got back from vegas and i heard the news , i went straight to the haunted star , and there was luke with an open bottle . so i sat and had a drink with him while he poured out all of his guilt . kristina : did he admit that he was drinking before he drove ? ethan : yes . but he insists he was n't drunk . kristina : do you believe him ? ethan : you know , i mean , i do a fair bit of drinking myself , most of it with luke , and like luke i rarely get drunk . so yes . yeah , i believe him . kristina : well , then he should know that it was an accident . ethan : well , he still blames himself . i mean , the self - loathing was pouring off of him . and the whole time he was talking , he had that drink in his hand . kristina : maybe you could confront him , one on one . ethan : no , i 'd just get stonewalled . it 's like luke wants to destroy himself . and at this rate , he very well may succeed . i have no faith in this intervention idea , but ... i do n't know what else to do . kristina : can i ask you a question ? if you were in luke 's position and had hit and killed jake , would you want your family to reach out and help you ? ethan : truthfully , i 'd drive my car off the nearest cliff .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : still no word from luke , huh ? lucky : no . i was too late . nikolas : you know it 's not your fault that he disappeared . lucky : everything that my dad has done since he found out he hit jake has been a cry for help , and i 've been too caught up in my own grief to hear it . nikolas : lucky , you lost a child . it 's not your duty to help other people through this . they should be helping you , and luke just is n't . lucky : i did n't want to deal with it . you know ? i mean , he would n't admit that he was drunk when he got behind the wheel , so i just washed my hands of the whole thing . nikolas : honestly , i thought that ... you handled everything admirably . lucky : how ? by getting out of bed in the morning ? 'cause that 's pretty much all i 've been able to manage . and meanwhile my dad 's in free fall . nikolas : you should be mad as hell . do n't beat yourself up for just being human . lucky : i just do n't want to lose him . nikolas : i know .

[ scene_break ] dante : morgan and kiki switched your allergy meds with these ? well , how did you figure that out ? sabrina : well , i was with michael at the metro court right before he had his episode . he did n't have time to get as drunk as he appeared , so i had his pills tested . dante : wait , they roofied you ? sabrina : well , technically , it 's alprazolam . but it 's -- it basically has the same effect . michael : [ clears throat ] i was taking the pills for my allergies . they were n't working , so i doubled my dose , and ... yeah . sabrina : two drinks on top of that -- that 's the equivalent of 10 or more . dante : son of a bitch . michael : yeah , my sentiments exactly . dante : michael , i 'm sorry . i ...

'cause as far as i can see , everything worked out exactly how you guys planned . exactly . so , what else did you do ? morgan : [ groans ] carly : no , look at me . you drugged your brother . was the reporter there because of you ? did you call the reporter ? morgan : mom ! carly : i 'm gon na take that as a yes . morgan : okay . we did what we had to do . we did the right thing . carly : are you hearing yourself ? morgan : do you not remember what michael did ? ! carly : are you hearing yourself ? ! morgan : he switched the judge to beat dad ! carly : the right thing ? morgan : come on ! you would have done the same thing ! carly : let me tell you something , morgan . i have done many things , horrible things , to get what i want , okay ? but you crossed the line . michael is your brother . my god , you guys were family here ! you put michael 's life in danger and anyone who would have come in contact with him , so there is no way you can stand there and convince me that what you did was right . morgan : you know what ? maybe not . but you 're sitting here , and you 're acting like michael 's so squeaky clean . what if he 's the one that 's responsible for avery 's kidnapping ? ! huh ? ! [ scene_break ] michael : look , kiki 's still living with her father . is there any way you can get a , uh , warrant to search the apartment ? dante : do you have evidence to connect kiki and morgan to aj 's disappearance ? michael : no . okay ? but -- but you can interview them about drugging me . that should be able to get you in the door . then maybe you 'll see or hear something that will give you probable cause to search . dante : michael , i 'm not defending kiki and morgan , but i also do n't know if they 're kidnappers , either . we ca n't waste time searching for the wrong suspects . michael : think about it . think about it , dante . they have motive , they have means , and they have opportunity . and , you know , it 's not like you 've been able to turn up evidence against anybody else .

[ laughs ] this does n't show me stealing a baby . nathan : i understand that . that does n't , but this does . okay ? just watch . okay , so here 's silas leaving the exam room . and he goes over to talk to kiki . now , according to his statement , he 's gon na finish this conversation , and then he 's gon na drop off some blood work at the lab , and he 's gon na leave for new york , which leaves baby aj in the exam room with a ms. doreen zupan from cps . nina : okay , it is fascinating , but i do n't understand what it has to do with me . nathan : we 're getting there . now , while silas is talking to kiki , you and i were speaking . nina : yeah . and i gave you really great advice , remember ? and i kissed you on the cheek . then i left . nathan : yeah , but , nina -- but you did n't leave . all right ? look . see , so here you are outside of the elevator . and it 's obvious that you 're looking at kiki and morgan . nina : well , i ca n't help it that they -- they were in my eyeline , and i was still , um , really hurt and angry at kiki . i mean , i - i really tried to be nice to her , j . nathan : i know you did . but instead of leaving , nina , you 're seen outside of the exam room where baby aj was last seen , peering through the blinds . look . can you explain that ? [ scene_break ] [ franco remembers ] nina : you 're still trying to convince me that my baby belongs to ava jerome . franco : nina , she 's not yours . nina : [ sighs ] stop saying that . dr. obrecht : while the police have the original footage , i felt it was necessary we keep a copy of the surveillance footage for our records for our lawyers to review . as you can see , your precious nina was outside the very same exam room that baby was in , waiting to go home but never did . franco : nope . that is not real . somebody has tampered with that footage . they 're trying to make it look like nina did that , but she did n't do that . nathan : feel free to contact the police . they will tell you this footage is untouched . i take it then nina did n't mention her stop to see the baby . do n't bother answering . i can see the truth all over your face . [ scene_break ] nathan : look , nina , i really need you to tell me the truth , okay ? nina : okay , all right . this is the truth . i did n't take aj . i did n't take her . yes , she was in the hospital , and , yes , i was about to leave , but ... it hit me . i saw that footage of the stroller tipping over , and i was just worried about her , and i just -- i needed to know that she was okay . that 's all it was . that 's all it was . and i looked through , and i saw that lady from cps with aj . nathan : okay , and then what happened ? nina : yeah . and then i saw that lady interacting with aj , and i knew she was okay . nathan : and ? nina : and then i left . that 's it . and -- and you 're gon na see that . you -- click away . look , 'cause -- 'cause it 'll show that i left . nathan : i have already , and that 's the problem is that right after you left , the surveillance footage goes blank . nina : what does that mean ? nathan : that means that somebody turned off the hospital surveillance system . and the running theory is that whoever did that then went and kidnapped the baby . nina : and you 're saying it was me ? nathan : i am saying that it could have been . [ scene_break ] lulu : [ coughs ] you want to dance at the nurses ' ball ? valerie : i love to dance ! lulu : [ laughs ] valerie : i mean , i 've been taking classes since i was a kid . like , if my life were a little different , i think i 'd be dancing professionally . and i have a real passion for it . so , if your mistress of ceremonies wants six haunted starlets , i 'm your girl . lulu : i - i think you would be so disappointed . the rest of us are amateurs . seriously , we 're basically faking it . valerie : is there any choreography ? lulu : yeah . [ laughs ] i have a - a video on my phone . valerie : may i ? lulu : see , it 's kind of tricky . valerie : this would n't be a problem at all . a couple of run - throughs , and i 'd have this down . lulu : by tomorrow night ? valerie : i 'm a quick learner . it 's my survival mechanism . [ laughs ] i once worked with this choreographer . well , more like a teacher - choreographer , and he could not make up his mind . [ laughs ] he called it his `` free - flowing creativity , `` but it really was is we 'd show up in the morning , and he 'd have an entirely different number for us to perform that night . lulu : i -- [ sighs ] see , uh , uh ... here 's the thing . okay ? like i said , we are all amateurs , and we 've basically memorized all the moves with five dancers , and to add a sixth one would throw everything off . valerie : oh . you do n't want me . [ scene_break ] nina : are you gon na arrest me , j ? nathan : no , nina . i 'm not gon na arrest you . i just wanted to give you a heads- up . this footage does not look good for you . all right ? i think you need to speak with an attorney . nina : alexis davis is my attorney , but she 's representing michael quartermaine in the custody situation . nathan : okay , so it 's time to seek new representation . what about diane miller . i have a really good relationship with her . i can vouch for you . nina : i mean , do you really think it 's that bad ? do you think i need an attorney ? nathan : yeah . yeah . i think it would be in your best interest to speak to a lawyer right away . nina : wait . no , no , no . you 're my brother . now , forget the evidence . what do you think ? you know me . what do you think ? you think i took that baby . nathan : [ sighs ] nina , you told me you did n't take that baby , and i believe you . nina : thank you . you 're the only who does . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : i know you do n't think it right now , but what i 've done is for your own good . franco : how can you say that ? dr. obrecht : franco , you just received the greatest gift one could ask for -- freedom . if you continue to support nina , you will only be returned to pentonville . is nina worth that ? nina is unbalanced and impossible to save . do n't let her drag you down with her . franco : she did n't do this . she did n't . she would n't do this . she would never take that baby . not -- not again . dr. obrecht : if that 's the case , then prove it to yourself . franco : how can i do that ? dr. obrecht : you live with her , do n't you ? yeah . go through her things . franco : i do n't think that 's a good idea . dr. obrecht : while nina may have gotten rid of the evidence , babies are sometimes messy . even if she is hiding one , there 's bound to be a sign of it somewhere . [ cell phone beeps ] dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] please excuse me . that annoying lucy coe . just got a message about the nurses ' ball . franco : hey , dr. obrecht , can i ask you a question ? dr. obrecht : please , liesl . wh - what 's your question ? franco : you told nina that , uh , she had some dirty laundry . nina told me that she did n't know what you were talking about . i - i told her that you were just playing some kind of a mind game , but ... is that true ? is that what you were doing , or was there something to what you said ? dr. obrecht : guilty as charged . i tried to throw nina off her game in hopes of getting her to confess . alas , my niece is stronger than i thought . let that be a lesson to you . if nina did n't kidnap that baby , then who did ? [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] carly : you just admit it . correction -- you got caught red - handed drugging michael . morgan : okay . mm - hmm . carly : now you 're gon na turn it around and accuse him of kidnapping ? morgan : yes , because you know it 's possible ! he could have easily snuck into gh , swiped avery . he knew where she was because of the cps lady . and he may not have an alibi , mom , but he sure has a lot of `` q `` money that he could use to stash her . you know that , right ? sonny : michael would n't do that to his sister . morgan : oh . sonny : he was kidnapped as a child . he would n't put his sister through that kind of trauma . morgan : why ? why ? sonny : you know that , morgan . morgan : why are you defending him right now ? carly : because we know michael . morgan : oh , god . carly : i do n't know how your father feels about this right now , but i do n't know who you are . sonny : okay , carly , it 's not the time and place to be -- carly : yes , it is . morgan 's gon na act like an adult , i 'm gon na treat him like one . so , do n't you stand there . look at me ! do n't you stand there and tell me you did this for your father or for your sister or for kiki . you did this to hurt your brother , and you succeeded , and i hope you 're proud of yourself . morgan : mom , are you forgetting that michael is the one who manipulated the situation ? carly : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? ! you 're standing there spewing lies and casting doubt about your brother when you know damn well that you and kiki had avery this whole time . kiki : morgan , look at me , okay ? you and your mom can take this up later , but we need to call dante right now . morgan : no . kiki : if we want to find the real kidnapper , we have to get the police involved . morgan : no ! we are not going to call anyone . we ca n't tell anyone she 's back , or we 're gon na lose her all over again .

[ scene_break ] skye : monica ? do you have a moment ? monica : just a moment . i 'm due at the hospital . skye : i just -- i wanted you to know how -- how deeply sorry i am about a.j . monica : well , thank you . i appreciate that because i know you mean it . we 've never been very close , but we do have one thing in common -- we both loved a.j . skye : how did we let him get so far away from us , monica ? why did n't i see it ? monica : i do n't know . i think that a.j . was out of our reach for a very long time . anyway , i heard that he tried to manipulate you into helping him flee the country with michael . skye : monica , i could n't do it , okay , not once i found out that he was responsible for the kidnapping of those children . i hated betraying him to jason , but he had to be stopped . i hope you understand that . monica : oh , yeah . yeah , i 'm not blaming you for anything that happened to a.j . he set himself up for everything that led up to his death , and i 'm not making excuses for him , not anymore . skye : well , at least a.j . left you something . i happened to see his bank records and he quadrupled the money that he stole from e.l.q . i guess now that he 's dead , it 'll revert back to you . monica : our family is really shattered beyond repair . no amount of money is going to bring it back . [ scene_break ] lucky : i hope i did n't keep you waiting long . elizabeth : hi . no , not at all . i just got here . mike : hey . coffee ? lucky : yes , please . hey , how 's michael ? mike : not good . i 'm worried about him . lucky : he 's still unresponsive ? mike : yeah . poor little guy . you know , he 's been through one hell of an ordeal , but at least he 's back where he belongs . as harsh as it sounds , i 'm relieved that a.j . ca n't hurt michael or courtney or anyone else i love ever again . lucky : earth to elizabeth ? elizabeth : sorry . sorry . lucky : you looked pretty far away . elizabeth : no , i 'm not . i 'm right here . lucky : well , you were n't a minute ago . tell me what 's going on . do n't tell me `` nothing `` because i know you too well . elizabeth : okay . this is hypothetical , but say a friend knows something that a lot of people would be interested to find out . lucky : can you be a little bit more cryptic ? elizabeth : this person knows something about a.j . 's murder , but it also concerns somebody who 's been through the worst kind of hell . lucky : you tell your hypothetical friend to go to the police . elizabeth , do n't get caught in this cover - up . if you know something that points to a.j .

's hospital room right after he was murdered anyway ? ric : yeah , true . john : i was looking for dr. webber . i thought he might be with rachel adair . reese : convenient . ric : mm - hmm . yeah . john : ooh , chills . are n't you the detective ? that 's a mighty shaky finger you 're pointing there , agent marshall . reese : so now you 're accusing me ? we 're really grasping at straws now . ric : oh , you do n't understand . durant would accuse mother teresa if it deflected attention away from the one person who had a real reason to kill a.j . -- carly .

[ scene_break ] jason : it 's got to be kind of nice to be back in your room . a lot better than the hospital . at least you can open the windows , you got trees outside . jason : you know , you can go downstairs and grab popcorn or cookies whenever you feel like it . or you can just sit here . it 's okay . all you need to know is that i 'm right downstairs if you need me . and that i love you . that 's never going to change . [ scene_break ] emily : look , dad , mom does n't really want a divorce , okay , any more than she wanted to sell the house . something else is going on . alan : you think ? emily : look , mom 's been acting really weird lately . i mean , i know that she has reason -- a.j . put our family through hell -- but i think it 's more than that . there 's something that she 's not telling us , and that 's what 's driving her . alan : i do n't understand it . how could she be so cruel and selfish at a time like this ? monica : that 's so typical -- alan the victim . you know damn well why i 'm divorcing you . emily : could someone tell me , please , because i 'm at a loss here . monica : your father is trying to have jason arrested for a.j . 's murder . he 's talked to mac , he skewed some facts , and so it looks like jason said outright that he planned to kill a.j . emily : is that true ? alan : i was simply relating the circumstances of the murder to mac , telling him what i knew . i had no choice . mac 's conducting an investigation . emily : jason is your son , too , dad , and he did n't kill a.j . ! alan : you know , your faith in jason is very , very touching . unfortunately , it 's something that i do n't share . you see , i know what he 's capable of . he commits murder for a living . emily : you know , i do n't blame mom . right now i 'd want to divorce you , too . alan : so it 's not bad enough that you abandon me ? now you 've turned our daughter against me . monica : oh , i just saved you the trouble , alan . you would have alienated emily all by yourself eventually . she loves jason . you vilifying him only makes it clear to her how much you avoid the truth . look , we stunk as parents , but it did n't give a.j . an excuse to do what he did to his own child . it did not give him an excuse to put michael through the hell he did . alan : why do n't you just admit it ? you 're glad a.j . is dead , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] john : i had nothing to do with a.j . 's murder , and neither did carly . ric : oh , big surprise you 'd say that . john : it 's a fact . i was heading to the water fountain on the fourth floor . reese : on the fourth floor ? john : i saw carly standing there at the time that a.j . was -- yeah , that 's right , the fourth - floor water fountain . reese : naturally , you approached carly , right ? john : no . reese : no . john : no , i did n't . i did n't want to stress her out , which i seem to do at the best of times . ric : hmm , that 's hardly an airtight alibi for either of you . reese : yeah , especially when you take into account the fact that carly made a threat on a.j . 's life just minutes before he was murdered . john : i 'm just telling you what happened . reese : okay . well , it should be easy enough to check for witnesses on the fourth floor that night , right ? and , also , i 'm going to have an officer time the trip to a.j . 's room . ric : that 's a good idea . john : so you 're buying into ric 's theory that carly killed a.j . ? now , why does n't that surprise me ? trying to frame my daughter for a murder , put her in prison so you can have her husband all to yourself . [ scene_break ] sonny : sit down . did anyone see you go in to see a.j . the second time ? carly : i do n't think so . sonny : can you think about it ? can you remember ? maybe you saw a couple of scrubs out of the corner of your eye ? maybe somebody opened a door in the hallway ? you did n't see any of that , right ? is that what 's -- carly : how 's michael ? jason : he 's the same . carly : oh , god , it 's a nightmare . when is my son going to come back to me ? jason : carly -- when he 's ready , carly . i remembered something . you remember how michael shut down after he saw ric grab you ? he was n't talking to us , and all of a sudden he started bouncing that ball for hours on end ? well , it might not work again , but i thought , you know , it was at least worth a shot , so i put a ball up in his room . carly : oh , a ball ? and giving michael enough time so he can retreat so far he 'll never come back does n't work for me . okay , i 'm going to go give michael his breakfast , and i 'm going to stay with him until i can convince him of how much he 's loved . sonny : it 's a mistake , carly . you ca n't push this . michael 's got to come back in his own time . carly : i 'm sorry . when did you get your degree in psychology ? sonny : i 'm sorry . when did you ? carly : well , all right . well , we 'll just see who 's right , wo n't we ? sonny : she 's going to -- she 's going to get herself arrested . jason : sonny , i know she is . sonny : i mean , she 's so obsessed , you know , with michael she does n't want to work with us on clearing her on the charges that 's going to come through that door any minute . jason : have you heard anything from the cops yet ? sonny : no , and that 's not a good sign because if they had a case against carly , that means they 'd call us in for questioning . this silent thing , you know , makes me think that they 're working on a warrant . jason : look , we need to get her out of the country . i 'll prep the jet . i 'll call ahead to puerto rico . she 's got to go . sonny : i know she 's got to go , but she 's not going to go , because michael 's in no shape to leave , which tells me she 's not going anywhere without him . [ scene_break ] carly : hey there , mr. man . i brought you some of those cinnamon muffins that you like so much . do you recognize the tray ? remember i helped you pick it out for dad 's birthday ? you remember ? he still uses it so much . maybe we should think about going and buying another one for father 's day . i 'm here , michael . [ scene_break ] monica : this is why i am done with you -- the fact that you could accuse me of being glad my son is dead just so you can avoid taking responsibility for your own behavior . alan : which behavior is that , monica ? so many things i do are objectionable to you , it 's hard for me to keep track . monica : well , if you had shown the slightest bit of common sense , you would have called the police when a.j . and michael showed up . our son would be alive right now -- in prison , but he 'd be alive . but , no , you could n't do that , alan , because you ca n't admit that there is anything that you ca n't control , be it alcohol or drugs or a.j . 's sociopathic tendencies . uh - uh . no , you 've got to be the hero . you had to run to a.j . 's aid . you were going to fix his unfixable problems . alan : i was trying to be a good parent to my son . monica : oh , and what a bang - up job you did , alan . your son 's dead ! alan : you 're not without blame ! monica : you 're right . you 're absolutely right . i 'm probably just as guilty as you are of turning a blind eye . but at least i own it . i 'm not going out trying to get my other son to take the fall for my mistakes . alan : you and i do n't agree about jason . we probably never will . i understand you being as angry with me as you are , but it 's not enough to end our marriage , monica . ca n't you at least take some time to calm down ? monica : no . no , i ca n't , alan . in fact , i am filing this week . alan : so that 's it , then ? monica : that 's it , then . alan : so then all we have to discuss is what we 're going to do with our son 's body . monica : i do n't think having a second memorial service is the right thing . alan : neither do i . monica : huh -- something we agree on . well -- i would suggest that we have his body cremated and put in the family crypt . alan : monica -- monica ? now that our son is dead and he has paid the ultimate price for his mistakes , can you forgive him ? i understand the fact that you will never forgive me , but can you please forgive him ? [ scene_break ] ric : elizabeth ? i was wondering if we could ask you a few questions ? elizabeth : okay . reese : you gave a.j . a sedative the night he was killed . elizabeth : i told you i did n't feel good about it , but , yes , i did . reese : okay , well , looking back and considering everything that happened , did he say or do anything that was out of the ordinary when you were in his room ? if you know something , elizabeth , it 's best to tell us now . ric : please , just tell us the truth , okay . it has a way of coming out . you do n't want to be left holding the bag . elizabeth : all right , there is something i did n't mention . [ scene_break ] mac : dr. webber ? steven : yeah ? mac : did you run the test on the d.n.a . samples on a.j . 's pillow ? steven : yeah , i sure did . i made it my top priority . mac : and ? steven : i think we found our killer . [ scene_break ] sonny : did n't go well ? carly : no . michael did n't want to have anything to do with me or the food . but , you know -- but i 'm not giving up , because it was a bad reaction , but it was a reaction . he was even tossing the ball back and forth when i walked in there . sonny : you need to give it some time , okay ? we got -- we need your help . jason : yeah . sonny : we need to talk to you about something . jason : you visited a.j . 's room twice in 10 minutes . did anything look different the second time you were there ? carly : i do n't -- i do n't think so . jason : no ? okay , what about the pillow ? where was the pillow the first time you were in the room ? carly : jason , i ca n't think straight ! i do n't know . my son is upstairs in terrible pain . i do n't care how much trouble i 'm in . i ca n't stop worrying about him . maybe i should just go up there one more time to see if i can connect with him . sonny : you 're not going to get through to michael , and you 're not going to get through to michael if you 're in prison , carly . jason : carly , you might have to leave the country for a while . carly : no way . no , i 'm not leaving my son . sonny : damn it , carly ! listen to me , okay ? your freedom is on the line here , and if you 're too distracted to make decisions , then i 'm going to make them for you !

[ tracy gasps ] dillon : why do n't you tell me what happened ? tracy : are you mocking me ? shut your mouth . luke drugged me and then he dragged me over here . he is going to keep me hostage here until i tell him where helena is . hello ! my butt 's numb . would you get me out of this chair ? georgie : are you going to let her go ? dillon : i do n't know . tracy : what ? what ? dillon : well , my mom has worked with helena before , and it 's not unreasonable to think that she would do it again . tracy : oh , i ca n't believe i 'm hearing my own son side with kook spencer instead of his mother . dillon : hey , you got to me kidding me , right ? my entire life you 've done nothing but scheme and cheat and lie -- mostly for money -- and you do n't really care if it leaves a trail of chaos behind , do you ? you do n't really care if people get hurt , do you ? now , i 'm thinking that luke needs to find helena in order to get nikolas out of prison . that , to me , seems like a worthy cause . so if my mom here happens to know something that might help him out , maybe we should just leave her . tracy : thank heavens -- a cooler head to prevail . your boyfriend is holding me hostage , and it is up to you to let me go . [ scene_break ] luke : hello , emily . emily : luke . you 're back . luke : yep , like the proverbial bad penny . emily : any luck finding helena ? luke : i 'm getting there . someone 's been siphoning funds out of various cassadine accounts . i assume it was n't you ? emily : no . luke : well , it is n't helena either , which means she 'll soon surface to find out whose hand is in her wallet . emily : you really think that she 's going to come out of hiding ? luke : to get her money back ? you betcha . emily : yeah . and once we have evidence that helena 's alive , nikolas is going to be released .

[ scene_break ] carly : i can get through to michael . i know i can . but if i leave , he 'll never trust me . sonny : carly , can you just think about this for a second ? if you go to the island , you will buy us enough time to clear you of the murder charges . carly : no one 's accused me of killing a.j . jason : they 're going to , carly . they will . carly : good , let them . i 'm going to take morgan upstairs . sonny : yeah . carly : here , here , honey . he just loves his little brother . i think that he may be able to relate to him in a way that grownups ca n't . sonny : oh , yeah ? what makes you think it 's not going to be more pressure on michael if you bring him up there ? you know , a.j . already told him how much we love morgan more than him . carly : right , and i 'm going to prove to him that a.j . 's wrong . i 'm going to show him that i love both my children equally , both my sons . sonny : you are causing more damage to my son 's health and your freedom . sam : sonny , carly , look , i 'll take morgan upstairs for you . it just might make the moment a little bit more neutral . carly : no , thanks . jason : i think , actually , that 's a good idea . sonny : i agree . look , hey , a.j . trashed michael 's trust in us , and he never really knew sam . carly : okay , i wo n't have sam doing my job as michael 's mother . sonny : carly , this is n't about your parenting skills . this is about the damage that was done to our son , and we need to be more careful . jason : carly , if sam takes morgan to michael , it 's going to be a good idea because , you know what ? michael 's not going to feel any pressure . he can bond with his brother without our expectations and hopes , okay ? carly : all right . sam : hey . carly : thanks . sam : you 're welcome . hi , sweetheart . okay . just wish me luck . carly : okay .

[ scene_break ] dillon : what do you think ? skye : oh , believe me , there 's a part of me that would like to leave tracy exactly where she is for a hundred reasons that have nothing to do with helena . but i have sworn off having anything to do with luke 's crazy schemes . i 'm thinking we should let her go . dillon : really ? well , yeah , luke 's world is a dark and scary place -- been there , done that , got the t - shirt -- and she is my mom . tracy : oh , darling , i 'm so glad you remembered that . dillon : but emily really does love nikolas , and my mom must have something that luke feels he can use to out helena and clear him . georgie : and , you know , it is safe here , and with you a deck below , it really is just like storing your mom in the attic or something . skye : okay . i 'm convinced . this one last time , we will look the other way -- tracy : ah -- skye : and leave tracy to luke . tracy : no ! you must be kidding ! dillon : shh . tracy : you ca n't -- oh , my -- dillon : ooh , this -- ah -- sorry , mom . georgie : bye - bye .

robin : i ca n't believe all of you got together to set me up . dr. brown : no one set you up , robin . robin : how long have you been planning this ? patrick : i called everyone after what happened with emma , when i found out you were n't taking your antidepressants anymore . robin : great , so now you 're punishing me . dr. brown : they 're all here because they love you and they want you to get well . robin : yeah , but i 'm not a drug addict or a drunk . i do n't need an intervention . dr. brown : today you 're going to be offered an opportunity to make some changes in your life . what you do with that opportunity is up to you . but you need to understand that if you refuse to make these changes , there will be consequences . robin : like what ? you 're going to ground me ? are you going to dump me as a friend , drop me as a patient -- oh , divorce me ? dr. brown : it does n't have to come to any of that . you 're going to listen to what these people have to say or we can skip straight to the consequences , but the way you 've lived since emma was born is over . so it 's up to you . do you want to participate in this intervention or not ? robin : fine . since you 're all here , why do n't you tell me what a horrible mother i am ? i 'm listening .

[ claudia moans ] jason : are you okay ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so that 's why you 've been fainting , because of -- what is it ? carly : it 's called zbt . it 's a blood disorder . jax : she 's supposed to avoid stress . that includes you . sonny : i did n't know , jax . jax : well , you knew she fainted and that she 's pregnant , and anything to do with michael is stressful . sonny : let me talk to carly myself . jax : well , i 'm telling you there 's a 50/50 chance that she will develop a blood clot that could kill her . sonny : 50/50 ? that 's what the doctor said ? carly : jax just found out , and he has n't had much time to process this . jax : it was triggered by the pregnancy . sonny : 50/50 chance you could die ? carly : if i carry the baby to term . sonny : i 'm sorry , but you know what ? there 's no way you should have this baby .

[ scene_break ] robin : i ca n't believe you 're sitting here in my living room calling me out on my mistakes as a mother . maxie : robin , i 'm just trying to tell you that i do n't understand -- robin : i have always stuck up for you , even when you do the craziest things . so for you to sit here and tell me what a horrible mother i am is just ridiculous . mac : hold on . robin , maxie adores you . robin : maxie adores maxie . and obviously we all agree that i 'm a terrible mother , but i 'm not the one that was walking around with a pillow under my shirt pretending that it was a baby for months , and then pretending to have a miscarriage . i mean , elizabeth , how can you even be in the same room with her when she was giving your husband pills for months ? elizabeth : that 's between -- robin : i mean , that was the only way that she could get lucky to sleep with her to begin with . patrick : okay , robin , that 's enough . dr. brown : this is n't a forum for you to go after maxie . robin : it 's not ? so i just have to sit here and listen to everyone attack me , but i do n't get to fight back ? is that the way it 's supposed to work ? well , sorry , but i do n't think that 's very fair . get out . i do n't want you here . maxie : this is not you , robin . you would not say those things to me . i think you need help . mac : what you said was uncalled for . robin : did you hear what she said to me ? mac : what i heard maxie say to you was that you need treatment for postpartum depression , robin . we are all here to help you get well . mac : you know , i raised you when robert and anna could n't , and it was an honor . and i watched you face terrible situations with grace and honor . i know how strong you are , but you 're not strong enough to overcome postpartum depression alone . robin , you need to get help . you know , you need to commit to treatment before the postpartum depression does more damage to you and the people who want to help you . kelly : robin , we have been good friends for a long time . i miss you . i miss jake 's and taking those power walks in the park . i miss the good friend who i could always depend on to listen , a friend who saw me through some pretty dark midnights on the night shift . all mothers make mistakes . that accident today with emma 's carriage on the stairs could have happened to anyone , but it happened to you after you stopped taking your antidepressants . refusing to take your meds was a completely irresponsible choice . you 're a doctor , so i know you know better . like your uncle said , you need to commit to treatment , if not for your friend 's sake , then for emma 's . matt : i do n't know you as well as everyone else does in this room , but you were the first person to reach out to me when everyone found out that i was patrick 's brother . i was the best man at your wedding . i 've seen how much you love patrick and emma , and they love you the same . and they need you to get treatment for this illness . postpartum depression , it 's treatable . just get the treatment , please .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : robin , i was happy to help out when the baby came , but somewhere i crossed a line and became an enabler by being the on - call babysitter , helping you to feel better about not holding emma , coming up with excuses for all your mood swings . i was there when they crashed you into mercy after you went into the lake . robin : that was an accident . dr. brown : let elizabeth finish . elizabeth : we all thought you were going to die . it 's a miracle that patrick even found you in the water and got you to the hospital in time . and i really thought after that , you were going to take your illness seriously , but you did n't . and then you started lying about taking your antidepressants , and that 's not you , robin . you 're not a liar . this illness is robbing you of your chance to be a mother to emma , and it is robbing emma of the chance to know and love her mom . i know you 're a good mom , and i know that you 're going to do whatever it takes to give emma the very best of yourself . i 'm not sure what else to say , except that i miss you and i just want my friend back . patrick : i do n't know what else i can say that i have n't already said . i love you so much . and i understand that you 're struggling with this . but what i do n't understand , robin , is why you 're not embracing help . you see what it 's doing to your life ; you see what it 's doing to our life . and the fact that you 're avoiding treatment makes me think that -- i do n't know , it make me think that it 's more than an illness . i mean , maybe you do n't want a life with me and emma at all . robin : no , no , that 's not true . i love you so much . i -- i love our daughter . i just -- i get it . i get it , okay ? i have to change . [ robin sighs ] robin : i 'm going to get back on the antidepressants , and i wo n't skip any more sessions . dr. brown : we 're past those options . you need inpatient treatment at a hospital . robin : you want to ship me off to an institution ? that 's what this is about ? you 're trying to get rid of me ? patrick : robin , i want you to get help . i want the life that we promised each other . i want my wife back .

[ robin sighs ] robin : what law ? patrick : we should have called the cops when michael walked by . they need to know that he 's back . robin : you 're being ridiculous . it 's none of our business . patrick : how am i being -- robin , we live in this city , we 're raising our daughter here , and sonny is a constant source of violence . it took me a while to realize it , but when sonny shot his son , a cop , well , that 's proof that he needs to be locked away , and i 'm sick and tired of him hiding behind all the innocent people who love him , like you and his kids . robin : no , you 're wrong about that , because it 's my choice to defend sonny . it 's not something he 's making me do . patrick : every time you defend sonny or make excuses for him , you help perpetuate the violence . so i 'm supposed to sympathize with sonny , a criminal , just because he has n't shot you or emma yet ? robin : you know , obviously that part of my life , the part of my life with stone , having to watch him die , sonny helping me through all of those things ... patrick : oh , come on . robin : means nothing to you . but that 's part of who i am . you know , that 's made me who i am .

calvin : it 's called an intervention . luke : ohm . you got ta be kidding me . you allowed this ? calvin : everyone in this room is here because they love you . luke : well , love me less . calvin : and they are concerned about you . luke : where am i ? sonny : one of my warehouses . i thought it would be fit for the occasion . luke : did your no - necks bring me here ? ethan : you do n't remember ? luke : i was at jake 's talking to siobhan . and you . dodge . you were the decoy ? and you knocked me out ? i 'm ashamed of both of you . calvin : do you acknowledge that you have a problem with alcohol ? luke : ugh ! oh , jeez . i acknowledge that i was knocked out and brought here against my will . i acknowledge that i am plenty pissed off about it . that i got a jackhammer coming through my skull . so i 'm in no mood to play your little game . just cut me loose and let 's get out of here . lucky : if i untape you , will you stay and hear us out ? luke : now why would i do that ? what 's the matter with you people ? what is this , safety in numbers ? you could n't confront me one on one ? tracy : some of us have tried . all of us are concerned . luke : all of us . does that include a perfect stranger ? who is this clown ? calvin : my name is calvin blaine . i 'm an interventionist . your family asked me to help . luke : well , calvin blaine , they have wasted your time . i ai n't gon na be interventioned . so you can take your tough love and your enlightenment , and you can stuff it . and we can all go home . calvin : all you have to do is listen . lucky : you do n't have much of a choice right now . luke : are you proud of yourself ? calvin : as i said , everyone here loves you , everyone here is concerned . luke : yeah , i heard that , they 're all concerned . calvin : they want to express that love and concern , and tell you how alcohol is affecting your relationships . so to that end , i 've asked your family to put their feelings on paper in the form of a letter . luke : a letter . calvin : mm - hmm . luke : great . so you 've all lost your collective spine as well as your sanity . you ca n't just talk to me , you ca n't look me in the face and tell me what you have to say . you have to hide behind letters and this jerk ? i tell you what -- put it in a postcard and send it to me general delivery morocco . calvin : in order for this to work , each family member or friend needs to read their letter to you . luke : yeah , well , this is what i 'm trying to tell you , calvin . it ai n't gon na work . these people are n't here because of my drinking . booze is just easier for them to wrap their heads around then the fact that i killed a child . now if you want to come at me about that , bring it on . you want to say something to me about that , well , i 'll take whatever you got . but do n't -- do n't do this excuse about drinking . because i am not an alcoholic ! and no amount of collective concern is going to make me one . calvin : lulu will read her letter first . luke : i 'm sorry , baby . this is so wrong . your brothers and tracy manipulated you into this sideshow . i can tell you do n't want to be here . and i know you 're under a lot of pressure . lucky 's had a terrible loss and you love him and you want to support him . but this is not the way to do it . calvin : lulu wrote a letter , and she needs to read it . luke : you do n't have to , baby . lulu : dear dad , i love you so much . even though you were n't around during a lot of my childhood , seems as though the times in my life that are most memorable all share a common thread -- they involve you . lulu : i told you that i hated ice fishing , which is true . i hated sitting around and freezing . but what i did n't tell you is that i actually could n't wait to do it again with you . because that was our connection . and nothing else mattered to me except being with you . and when you had the club and you would take me to your office , i remember you would pull out old blues albums and you 'd sit me between two speakers and you 'd tell me to listen and learn . but i did n't get into it . i remember watching you . and although you were stuck with me , i was happy just being near you . took me a long time to accept that the memories closest to my heart involved a father who was rarely around . but it 's obvious that as much as i resented you , there 's something about you that i ca n't hate . you 're my father . therefore , you 're my world . and it 's always been important that you think highly of me and that you respect me , and as our relationship has grown stronger , i know that you do . and you 've supported me unconditionally . luke : if you 've still got any questions or reservations , we do n't have to do this today . we could still go to europe . lulu : [ chuckles ] i would n't dream of interrupting your extended adolescence by making you a grandfather . luke : do n't turn this decision on me , lulu , not even as a joke . if you 've got any doubts , let 's stop right here . lulu : i do n't . luke : ok . lulu : um , you know , you 've -- you 've been great . better than i could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams . and i 'm never going to forget how you showed up and you stood up for me . luke : what are you saying ? you want to do this alone ? lulu : i 'll call a cab when it 's over . luke : no , no , honey . i ca n't just leave you here . i 'll wait in the car . lulu : listen , this is n't exactly the kind of thing that a girl wants to go through with her dad . no offense . luke : ok , if that 's what you want . lulu : i love you . luke : i love you , sweetheart . lulu : you 're the only one who helped me through one of the hardest times of my life . when i went to write down what you mean to me in a letter , i realized that you 're not the man that i accepted back in my life . when you were at the haunted star and you trashed it and you covered it in gasoline ... [ sighs ] you were more than self - destructive . you 're suicidal . and that scares me . you 're not my dad . you 've been replaced by a man who does n't care about me or anybody else ; least of all himself . preparing for the intervention made me realize what i saw that night was your illness . it 's taken over , and it 's not ok . and i 'm asking you to get yourself help . because we 've only just begun , and i need a dad in my life . luke : i 'm sorry , lulu . i 'm sorry . but you are wrong . ethan : luke ... on one fateful night ; a night that began like any other , i decided to rob the haunted star . and that night i met you staring down the business end of a shotgun . and nothing has been the same since . you see , that night , i met a running mate . a partner in crime . i met a best friend and a mentor and eventually , a father . and you 've been the best . the best man i 've ever known , and i love you . your total acceptance and your encouragement have meant the world to me over these few short years . and so i watched you . i wanted to learn to grow , to laugh , and to maybe soak up some of the pearls of wisdom you just left laying around . but what i 've seen since the accident is only your anguish . i 've seen your grief and your despair . and i 'm terrified that you are losing control . tracy : and if you drugged us , luke spencer , so that you could get me to marry you ... luke : you think that i would drug myself ? come on ! tracy : it 's coming back to me . you dared me to keep up with you . luke : that 's one of the things i love most about you , popsicle . you can not resist a challenge . ethan : ok , what are you hunting for down there ? truffles ? luke : no , a treasure of a different snort . maya : you and luke were grabbing cocktails faster than ethan and i could confiscate them . tracy : do n't you mean guzzle them ? ethan : we had to drink them to keep them away from you and luke . tracy : tell me i 'm not married to him . luke : you are , sweetheart . tracy : how would you know ? luke : ta - da ! ha ha . this is what i was looking for . this is the treasure i was looking for . this is our sweet marriage license of my wife . ethan : this thing , whatever this is , this is the hardest battle you 've ever had to fight . and i 'm asking you to rise up and let me fight it with you . because i know how hard it is to step back , and i know how easy it would be to just let go . i do . luke , please . just come back to us . just get that spark back in your eyes . and get some help . luke : i am so disappointed in you . all that flair and potential . you 've traded it in for 12-step psycho babble that you do n't even believe . i know you do n't . this is a con , is n't it ? you 're conning me , you 're conning them . huh . well , when you decide to drop the act and get back to yourself , you come to the star and we 'll hoist a few . and i 'll welcome -- sonny : i 'm sorry , i know i 'm supposed to wait my turn . you would do anything to save the life of someone you love . why ca n't you save your own , luke ? i do n't want to be here . but i 'm here because you 're my friend and i care about you and i respect you . i got ta tell you , luke , one of the things that i admire most about you is how good of a father you are . and i know you do n't agree 'cause you underestimate everything , but i 'm sure i can get your kids to back it up . i know what i saw . the way you would balance being a father , being friends . it 's not easy to do , i know that . you nailed it . luke : hey , sonny , you got any ice there left in that -- sonny : yeah . there you go . i do n't want any part of this . luke : now open the ice against your ear . lucky : ok . luke : until it gets numb . lucky : i will do . luke : and we 'll be in business . lucky : ah , first aid kit . ok , this is just cold . sonny : oh , you guys , you guys are just ... luke : boys and girls , do n't try this at home . this should only be done by a trained professional . sonny : i do n't know if i ever told you this , but watching you with lucky having so much fun ... made me want to be a dad . and i know you to be a man of principle and integrity . do n't let this disease get the best of you . get whatever help you need and take it down with you . nikolas : remember when i got shot in the neck ? was lying there bleeding to death , i could n't breathe , thought i was going to die . you said everything is going to be all right . and i believed you . you rode with me in the ambulance , you held my hand . and that was the first glimpse into the real man that you are , luke . and i appreciate your wisdom , your great sense of humor , and your ability to accept people just for who they are . but the alcohol is robbing you of that . it 's taking that away from you . i ca n't tell you how many times you 've shown up drunk and gone off on me just to do it . carly : i 'm not going to get all sentimental and mushy because you hate that and it 's not my style . so i 'm going to give it to you straight . you 're an alcoholic and you 're in denial . and the alcohol holds you at a distance from people who love you . stops you from showing up when it matters . and numbs you to the point where you do n't care . so this man who we all love and , yes , luke , i do love you , will be lost to us all , for good . so i 'm asking you to fight back . fix yourself and get treatment . luke : let me ask you something . if a bunch of a well - meaning but misguided people ask you to prove that you love them by giving up everything you are , what would you do ? carly : we 're not asking you to give up who you are . we 're asking you to give up the booze . calvin : tracy . luke : this is really low , wife . but you 've managed to prove again that you can outmaneuver me . tracy : we 're not playing games , luke . we 're trying to save your life . tracy : you 're sick . you need help . luke : i 'm healthy as an ox . calvin : do n't engage . read the letter . luke : who are you ? ! butt out . i 'm talking to my wife . do n't do this . do n't hide behind that letter . well - chosen words . just say what you have to say to me . that 's how we do it . tracy : you 're my unexpected miracle . i have loved loving you . learning how to love from you . love is a meeting of the minds . a recognition of spirit . a conversation between two hearts . it requires appreciation and acceptance . but i do not accept your disease . i know that i have done my part to enable you . luke : oh , enable . a buzz word . i 'm so sick of hearing buzz words today . tracy : we began on a drunken rampage . which is why , in my warped thinking , i thought that you could only love me if you were drunk . but that changed when helena kidnapped us . and i was at my worst and you loved me . luke : tracy angelica quartermaine spencer . you have transformed my life . not just with the bank accounts and the mansion and the corporate jets . i mean , all that 's nice , but none of that could keep me here with you if i did n't want to be . it 's you , darling . it 's you . you make my life worthwhile . it 's because of you that i give a damn . i love you with all my heart . my spanky . my sweetheart , my wife . tracy : that 's why it was so important that you be sober for our wedding . alcohol is stealing your soul . you may have said the vows , but i 'm married to the booze . if you were diagnosed with cancer , i would expect you to seek treatment . i expect you to seek treatment for alcoholism . get help , luke . i ca n't carry this marriage by myself . luke : i did marry you sober . but more than that , i married you pure . with no agenda . and you ca n't say that . you want to change me . i 'm not ok the way i am ?

[ laughs ] you know , son , i never , ever considered myself father material . you know that . and that whole idea of role modeling . phhhtt . well , that just terrifies me . fatherhood to me was always a job that too many guys had who had no qualifications for it . i just did n't want to be another one of those guys , you know , i did n't want to perpetuate the misery and all the mistakes . but one thing leads to another . and there you were , and it was n't a job . you were always good company . you let me do what i do . you do what you do . so if you tell me that i 've had something to do with the development of a man who i hold in the highest regard , well , that 's a blessing . i may be taller , but you are my hero . you are the role model in this family . lucky : how much longer do you think you can keep that taller thing going ? luke : [ laughs ] oh , leave me a little dignity , will you ? lucky : i 'm in the unique position to understand exactly what you 're going through right now . i know what it feels like to be where you are ; to hear the things that have been spoken to you today . i know the rage that it brings . the walls start to close in . you feel like you 're going to suffocate . because you know , with everything inside of you , that you 're right . that everyone else here , everyone else in your life who loves you is wrong . i know what that feels like . i 'm an addict . i went through it with pills and with booze . it does n't matter . it 's the same disease . and you have it , dad . are you hearing me ? it 's one of the hardest things in the world to accept . and once you do , it is n't any easier . getting back and finding a new way to live . i fight with it every single day . and i 'm asking you to do the same thing . i 'm asking you to fight . the disease has you . when you would rather drink alone in an empty casino than spend christmas with your family ... it 's got you , man . wake up , dad . are you really this blind ? ok , you know what , i 'm going to be selfish here . i 'm going to tell you what i need , ok ? my son just died . i need my father . i need you present . i need your wisdom and your clarity and your strength . just like when i was a kid and we were underground and we were on the run , and you 'd come and you 'd wake me up at 3 : 00 in the morning and you 'd say , `` lucky , we 've got ta go , it 's time ! they 're after us , we have to move now ! `` i do n't want ... a faded , diminished version of you . i want you ! i want my dad . i do n't want to walk through this nightmare ... without that man . i do n't want to walk through it without my father . luke : i would do anything for you . i would lay down across the tracks of an oncoming train , anything . but i will not lie to you . and i will not say something just because you need to hear it . i ran down your son , and i have to live with that fact . you have to live with the fact that i was not drunk . i am not an alcoholic . i do not have a disease . and i do n't want to stay here another minute . are we done here ? calvin : everyone here has expressed what you mean to them . they 've expressed their concern and belief that you 're an alcoholic . that you have a disease that adversely affects your life and your relationships with everyone in this room . they want you to seek treatment . to make that transition easy as possible , arrangements have been made for you to enter a rehab facility immediately . lucky , ethan and lulu are prepared to drive you to shadybrook for in - patient rehab . luke : you want to stick me in a rubber room ? [ laughs ] you people slay me ! no , i will not go to shadybrook . i will not seek treatment , as i am not an alcoholic . calvin : no one can force you into rehab . it has to be your decision . luke : you know , cal , that 's the first thing you 've said today that made any sense . no sale . calvin : all right , but refusal of treatment will bring consequences . luke : fine . calvin : nikolas . nikolas : if you do n't get help , then my doors are closed to you . luke : ouch , that hurts . calvin : sonny . sonny : luke , if you do n't get help , i ca n't be there for you at all . calvin : carly . carly : if you do n't get help , you are n't welcome at the metro court . no comps . no place to sleep . no free food . and definitely no booze . calvin : ethan . ethan : get some help , or there will be no more cons together . you 're on your own . calvin : tracy . tracy : well , if you do n't seek treatment , you will be banned from the haunted star . you will not have access to its funds . you will not be welcome in my family home . you will not be welcomed in my bed . calvin : lulu . lulu : if you do n't accept treatment , there 'll be no further contact between us . i do n't want to see you . i do n't want to talk to you . calvin : lucky . lucky : if you do n't get treatment , you 're not welcome in my home and my life . do n't call , because i wo n't answer . do n't knock , because i wo n't come to the door . get help . or you 're on your own . calvin : your children are prepared to take you to rehab right now if you 'll agree to go . luke : i 'd like to be let out of this chair , please . calvin : ethan . luke : well . i hope you all enjoyed the creative writing . i ca n't say that i did . but that 's irrelevant , is n't it ? because now you can all pat yourselves on the back and say , well , we tried . you can write me off as the unrepentant bastard who mowed down a four year old . lucky : dad , if that 's what you got out of this , you completely missed the point . luke : well , see , that 's the point . there is no point . it 's pointless . it 's random , it 's pointless . and nobody gets out alive . so if you 'll excuse me ... there 's a bottle with my name on it . | luke wakes up from being drugged and finds himself duct taped to a chair . lucky arranged an intervention with lulu , ethan , tracy , nikolas , carly , sonny , and an interventionist , calvin blaine . mr. blaine has them all read prepared letters to luke . they all reminisce about good times with luke and ask him to quit drinking . luke says he wo n't change . tracy tells him they do n't want him to change ; they just want him to stop drinking . sonny tells him they want to help him save himself . lucky tells him they are not there to judge him . he says they both have the same disease . luke insists that he does n't have a disease . mr. blaine suggests that luke admit himself to rehab . luke refuses . mr. blaine says he ca n't force luke into rehab ; he has to make that decision for himself . everyone at the intervention tells him that they will have to turn their backs on him if he does n't get treatment . |

[ scene_break ] luke : you were n't here when i confronted ethan . you did n't see his face . for the first time since i met this kid , he totally lost his cool . it 's clear that it never occurred to him that i could be his dad . tracy : so , let me get this straight . by your interpretation , ethan shows up in town with his prized possession , a dog - eared photograph of you , because holly hands them out to every kid she meets on the off chance they 're going to end up in port charles someday . luke : his story has n't changed one iota since i met him . he told me about meeting holly , having a conversation with her where she talked about me . he told me she gave him the photograph . he also told me that she suggested that he find me . the reason being that i could teach him something . tracy : and that does n't sound like a scam to you ? luke : of course it 's a scam . but do n't you get it ? it 's not a scam on you or me , it 's a scam on ethan . see , she sent him here not to rob you of your money . she sent him here so that he would be on my radar and i would figure it out . that kid is my son . and i am not letting him walk out of my life until i prove it , one way or the other .

[ scene_break ] tracy : luke , i have much too much respect for you to dismiss your theory out of hand . but if you 're right , and ethan does n't want to know if you 're his father , then you have to respect him and let him go . if , on the other hand , i 'm right , and he 's part of the big scam , then you really have to let him go . luke , either way , it 's the same solution . i 'm going to leave you to work it out . hello , lucky . lucky : hello , tracy . luke : hey , cowboy . lucky : dulling the pain of your big loss . luke : what are you talking about ? lucky : instead of drowning yourself with booze , you should be celebrating . whatever ethan took you for was a small price to pay to get rid of him . luke : what do you mean `` get rid of him `` ? lucky : i just saw him on the pier , and he said he was going back to australia .

diane : good afternoon . i 'm afraid i have nothing new to report . the jury is still deliberating . jason : is that good or bad ? diane : well ... based on the variables of this particular case , my instinct tells me that the jury is working toward a guilty verdict . [ scene_break ] johnny : everything she did that night , the ... taking carly hostage , the -- trying to steal that poor baby , she -- it was all out of this need for self- preservation , this reaction to what sonny was doing to her . she was sonny 's victim . she did not deserve to die , but she deserves justice . and you have the power to give that to her . lisa : i get that you love your sister , and i am sorry about her death . but i am just a juror . i mean , really , i should n't be listening to any of this . johnny : just think for a second what she must have been going through , what she must have been thinking . sonny was so arrogant and full of himself , and in front of an entire room of people , he announced that he was gon na kill her . how would that make you feel ? all these years sonny 's thought that he 's untouchable , and if you and the rest of the jury acquit him , you 're just gon na be proving him right . [ scene_break ] michael : there 's something i did n't tell you yesterday . i told dante the truth about everything . he knows it was really me who killed claudia . kristina : what did he say ? michael : dante wanted to keep me hidden , let the trial play out , because he wants -- he wants dad to be convicted . that 's why -- that 's why i ran away . kristina : so what are you gon na do now ? michael : i 'm gon na wait for the verdict . if dad 's not guilty , it 's over , and i 'll come home . and if dante wants to turn me in after that , so be it . kristina : i do n't think dante will . i mean , he was really cool to me about kiefer , and he came to visit me in the hospital , and he 's just really easy to talk to , about everything . and i think he 's started to see me as his sister , and i think i 'm starting to see him as my brother , too . michael : well , at least -- at least you had somebody to talk to when i was n't here , you know ? kristina : dante -- i think -- i think he really cares about all of us . michael : see , i do n't know -- i do n't know if he 's a brother first or some cop that wants to get what he wants .

[ scene_break ] carly : if dante does n't produce michael , so what ? he moves on to the next case . this is about the rest of my son 's life . it will destroy michael to sit in that courtroom and say what happened the night claudia died . i will owe you forever , olivia . i am begging you , please . olivia : look , i consider you a friend , carly , and i feel for you . i really do , but you ca n't ask me to hurt my own son . it 's just not gon na happen . carly : telling me where michael is will only help dante . carly : olivia , think about it . if you help me find michael , i can get him out of the country again , and that takes a really tough decision out of dante 's hands . olivia : dante brought michael back here to testify . carly : and he 's having a really hard time seeing that through or michael would already be in court . your son is facing an impossible decision -- loyalty to his job or loyalty to his brother , his family . olivia : that is dante 's decision to make . carly : the right thing to do is to let this trial play out , and then we take that choice away from dante . do n't you see that ? olivia : i have spent most of my life doing questionable things for dante 's own good . i did n't tell him that sonny was his father . i think we all know how that turned out . i 'm sorry . carly , i can not take this kind of risk again . [ scene_break ] dante : you 're getting really transparent here , claire . you come over here all high and mighty and try and convince me this is about justice . i mean , that 's a joke . it 's about you trying to punch your ticket to the big time . you need this high - profile conviction to get your career to the next level . if you screw up and sonny walks , your rising star fades fast . claire : yeah . you know , if you want to accuse me of being ambitious , fine . i 've been called a lot worse . my record stands for itself . okay ? and i 've worked my ass off to get to this point in my career , a place where i 'm in a position to take on criminals like sonny corinthos and put them in prison where they belong . since you want to take some personal shots at me , go ahead . it wo n't stop me from doing my job . dante : yeah , and what a job you 've been doing . claire : yeah ? your job was to bring claudia 's killer to justice , but somewhere along the way , you just decide -- dante : decided that maybe it 's not a good idea to bring a 12-year - old boy and put him up on the stand ? you 're damn right i did . i 'd do it all over again . claire : right , exactly . so you should just turn around and go work for your daddy . turn in your badge , come on . dante : yeah , it 's easy for you to say -- claire : because you 're a cop , all right ? you have to enforce the law . you ca n't decide to pick and choose . dante : oh , but you get to bend the law so that you can get that big win , right , no matter what the cost ? you know what ? i 'm not interested in the greater glory of claire walsh . i 'm interested in that justice gets done . [ scene_break ] diane : it 's either a hung jury , which would be great . which i would actually consider a win at this point . sonny : why ? does n't that mean we 'd have to do it all over again ? diane : exactly . and taking into consideration what i have learned from this first trial , there 's a significant amount i can do to undermine the prosecution 's case the second time around . there 's also a slim possibility that if the jury does not return a verdict , there wo n't even be a second trial . sonny : i like the sound of that . diane : yes , well , so do i , but let 's not get our hopes up too high . the more likely scenario is that the jury is close to a verdict but there 's a holdout . and do n't forget , it takes a unanimous vote for a murder conviction , and if there is a holdout , you can bet that that person or persons are under a tremendous amount of pressure to change their mind . sonny : if it was coleman , we 'd have nothing to worry about . diane : i agree , but coleman is no longer a factor . in fact , the final outcome is in the hands of jurors whose opinions we can not predict . but the whole thing is pointless to speculate about right now . so , just keep your cell phones on . the verdict could come in at any moment , and i will be sure to call you . gentlemen . jason : thank you . sonny : the sooner the verdict comes in , the better michael is . jason : michael called last night . he did n't say where he was , just that he was -- that he was doing okay . [ scene_break ] alexis : michael , i know your family is keeping you out of town so you do n't have to testify in the trial . that 's fine . your being here has put me in a terrible position . i have no choice but to call the authorities . kristina : mom , you ca n't ! michael only came back because he was worried about me , because i needed him . you ca n't do this to him ! [ scene_break ] carly : you knew what claudia did to michael and you said nothing . and because you said nothing , michael spent time at sonny 's with claudia as a constant threat . now , if you would have told me or warned me , i could have gotten michael out of there , olivia , and none of this would have probably ever happened . so the way i see it , you owe me . yes , you owe me . you can make things right here . you can stop michael from getting hurt again . olivia : i wish i could help you . carly : oh , my god . olivia : i really do , but i ca n't . i 'm sorry . jax : sorry about what ? what are you sorry about ? carly : well , dante has michael and he has n't turned him in to the police yet , and i do n't think he wants to . jax : well , do we know where michael is ? carly : no , but olivia can find out . that 's what i 'm asking her to do , because then we can get michael out of the country , he could be safe , and dante does n't have to make this horrible decision . olivia : dante is doing what he has to do . please let me explain . jax : i think carly 's right . i mean , why throw michael in the middle of this trial ? the jury 's already deliberating . they 're gon na have a verdict any minute now , right ? olivia : yeah , but that 's not my call to make . jax : well , the fact that dante has n't turned michael in yet should tell you something -- that he 's on the fence . so carly 's right . i mean , if we get him out of the country , it would take the decision out of dante 's hands . all you have to do is tell us where michael is and leave the rest to us . olivia : i 'm sorry . i wish i could help you . i really do . but i 'm not gon na pressure or trick dante into giving up michael . i 've got to trust that my son is doing what he knows is right . and i just hope as a mother you can understand that .

[ scene_break ] sonny : why did n't you tell me that michael made contact ? jason : well , michael called carly , not me . sonny : right . jason : but he said that if you 're found not guilty , he 's gon na come home , but if it 's the other way around , he 's gon na turn himself in . sonny : if i 'm found guilty , then dante gets exactly what he wants . he 'll lead us straight to michael before michael can tell anybody the truth . jason : what if you 're acquitted ? sonny : then we 're all in the clear . the last thing dante wants to do is hurt his own brother . jason : see , that 's exactly what dante said , sonny , but if that 's the case , i do n't understand why he 's keeping michael at all . [ scene_break ] kristina : there 's no reason to turn michael in . the trial 's already over and the jury 's about to make their final decision anyway . so , please , mom , you ca n't do this . alexis : do you have any idea how much trouble i am already in ? if they find out that i 'm harboring michael -- i ca n't take that risk , not for your sake or anybody else 's . kristina : mom , you do n't have to do this . michael can just leave and we can pretend like he was never here . alexis : no ! we are not doing that anymore . no more pretending , no more covering up , no more lying , none of it . we 're done , all right ? have n't you learned anything ? mac , hi , it 's me . michael is in my living room . he -- and now he 's not . he 's gone . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , i loved being together the other night . when we were able to put everything on hold and spend a few hours together doing what 's really important -- spending time with our family . jax : yeah , i loved that , too . carly : i think it 's because that 's who we are . it 's because that 's what we 're good at , and were happy , and it 's perfect . and you 're perfect . but you 're the reason all of these things are happening , jax , and we ca n't stop it . jax : i 've told you why i did ... what i did . i told you that . carly : yeah , the cover - up was a huge mistake , but , you know , here we are . michael 's life is hanging by a thread , and dante 's a cop . he has to choose between his badge and michael , and who do you think is going to win out ? the problem is , if michael ends up suffering because of you ... i do n't think i 'll ever be able to forgive you . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] johnny : coming . hey . what 's going on ? are you okay ? olivia : not really . i just came from jax 's office . carly is all over me . johnny : about what ? olivia : apparently , dante found michael . carly wants me to trick him into telling her where michael is so that apparently they can get him out of town and he does n't have to testify . i said no . johnny : [ sighs ] okay , what the hell good is michael gon na do , anyway ? the trial 's gone to the jury . olivia : well , maybe that 's what dante thinks . carly thinks that dante does n't want to turn michael in . and then -- and then jax comes walking in , i think he 's gon na have my back , only he takes carly 's side , i got ta turn them both down . i just -- i have to trust that dante knows what he 's doing , that he 's doing the right thing . johnny : all right , you deserve to know the truth . olivia : about what ? johnny : the reason that carly and jax are making themselves crazy to find michael is because it 's ... it was michael , not sonny , who ... killed claudia . michael walked into the cabin and saw claudia with the gun , trying to kidnap the baby , and he hit her and killed her . olivia : well , that certainly explains a lot of things . johnny : yeah . sonny , jason , and carly have been busting their asses for months to cover this whole damn thing up . and jax , it seems , was forced into the whole thing as well . olivia : wait , wait , wait . i do n't understand . you knew about this ? johnny : yeah . olivia : how could you go along with this cover - up ? johnny : because michael is just a kid . he was acting out of instinct . he was protecting his mother and his sister . and i -- i tell you , if i was confronted with the same circumstances , i probably would have done the same thing . you know , it was sonny who started this whole spiral anyway . none of this ever would have happened if sonny did n't back claudia into a corner , and sonny needs to be held accountable for that . [ scene_break ] judge : running a little late , juror number 4 ? lisa : um , i 'm sorry , your honor . i just got a little held up . judge : should your delay be a cause of concern ? lisa : um , no , i guess i got a little flustered . but , uh , do n't worry . i 'm taking this case very , very seriously . judge : then i suggest you keep moving . lisa : thank you , your honor . i 'll see you in the court . am i the last one here ? guard : they 're all waiting for you inside . lisa : okay . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . juror : well , i can think of a good way for you to make it up to us . admit that you 're outnumbered and change your vote , so we can find corinthos guilty and go home . [ scene_break ] sonny : you spoke with dante ? jason : yeah . i talked to dante , i talked to lulu . they did n't tell me where michael is . sonny : you could have backed dante into a corner and made him turn michael in . i told you already , you got ta leave this alone . dante wants me to take the fall . he thinks he put together a case strong enough to convict me without michael 's testimony . jason : come on , sonny , seriously . honestly , if you 're acquitted , do you think that dante is going to let everything go ? sonny : one thing about dante , he 's not a vindictive person . i do n't think he 'd turn his own brother in out of spite . he knows what it 's gon na cost michael to be labeled a killer . jason : it is amazing , the faith you have in dante . and i know you 're giving him the benefit of the doubt because he 's your son , but the truth is , you do n't know what dante 's gon na do . [ scene_break ] dante : that was fast . ronnie : you were expecting me ? dante : what , you 're not here to confiscate my badge on claire walsh 's orders ? ronnie : sounds like you got yourself in trouble again . dante : oh . well , you know , we have a few differences in what we think is right and wrong . ronnie : yeah , well , the woman 's a federal prosecutor , dante . i 'm not so sure i would mess with her . dante : she 's a hired gun . she 'd probably just as soon be defending sonny if that 's where the money and acclaim were . she 's desperate . she thinks she 's gon na lose . ronnie : let me give you a piece of advice . turn michael in and just be done with it . dante : you might not like to hear what michael 's got to say . ronnie : what ? what is he gon na say , that his daddy did n't actually mean to crack claudia 's skull ? dante : sonny did n't kill claudia . he was n't even there . michael killed her . ronnie : come on . hey , you believe that , dante ? michael has a history of false confessions . dante : not this time . michael 's the one who saw claudia taking the baby away , and michael 's the one who killed her . sonny and carly and jason decided to cover the whole thing up to protect michael . but it backfired . sonny ended up framing himself , but now he 's just gon na take the rap for michael . ronnie : well , good , let him . you just got handed a gift , my friend . all you 've got to do now is say nothing . sonny goes to prison , we win , and the case is over . [ scene_break ] johnny : jason is the one who finally came clean with me . after that whole franco fiasco and he dug up her body , jason gave me all the details about what happened to claudia . olivia : that must have been so horrible for you , honey . i 'm so sorry . johnny : right . you know what ? the strange thing is , is i ... was in a sense relieved . you know , i finally knew the truth . and the weirdest thing is that i do n't think i ever will , and i never did blame michael for a second . i mean , claudia was out of her mind , dangerous . olivia : you blame sonny for that ? johnny : yeah , i blame sonny . sonny knew exactly what buttons to push to systematically break claudia down , suck out her spirit , and eventually her sanity . michael ... he was just an innocent , and sonny needs to pay for what he did . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't know why you trust dante . personally , i do n't think he 's earned your trust . i know that he 's your son , but he 's not loyal . sonny : you do n't like dante . it 's obvious . we 've gone over this a thousand times . but i ca n't ignore that he is my son . i shot him pointblank and he did n't turn me in . so i do n't feel good about -- jason : he did n't turn you in ? he 's trying to put you in prison right now . sonny : that 's his job . jason : yeah , exactly . and his job is his loyalty , sonny . sonny : first of all , dante did n't know he was my son when this whole thing started , and he has obligations as a cop to finish the job . i respect that . but when it comes to his brother , that 's a different story . jason : did dante protect morgan ? no , he did n't . he actually tricked morgan into giving up michael 's location . and so , really , dante chose his job over his family , and he used morgan . look , if this was just your future on the line , trusting dante is your risk to take , but you can drag a lot of people down with you , starting with michael . [ scene_break ] dante : the law says i got ta take in the real killer . ronnie : yeah , it might be the law , but it 's certainly not justice . dante : i do n't know , man . the whole -- i 'm just -- it 's not as clear as it used to be . ronnie : sonny has been doing his thing for a long time . breaking the law , killing innocent people . he actually had vince poletti executed . and he was more of a father to you than -- that sonny will ever be . sonny deserves to go to prison . dante : yeah , i wish it were that simple . ronnie : it is that simple . that michael kid , he 's a mess . and why do you think that is ? 'cause sonny forced him to go along with a cover - up . there 's no justice if michael takes the fall . the only justice is to leave michael out of it and let sonny go to prison . 'cause that 's what he deserves . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jax : i 'm gon na have to call you back . claire : hi . jax : hello . what can i do for you ? claire : i 've got good news . alexis davis saw michael in town . actually , in her own living room . and when he ran out the door , she called the police . so i 'm pretty sure he 'll be in custody soon . jax : what 's the point ? i mean , the case has already gone to the jury . claire : yes , well , judge carroll is allowing me to put michael on the stand so all the evidence can be heard . not that i think there really will be a point to do that , because since the jury is taking as long as they are , it looks like we 're pretty close to a guilty verdict . [ jax sighs ] claire : you should be thrilled , jax . you 're the one who engineered all of this , and now you 're about to get everything you wanted . [ scene_break ] alice : first of all , i think it 's important that we all remember that we 're here to do a job , not just get it over with . juror : this job would be done if our holdout here would just use some common sense . alice : look , i 'm really getting sick of you judging her just for expressing her opinion . she has a vote just like the rest of us , and what are we here for ? to deliver a verdict . personally , i respect her that she wants to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt . lisa : thank you , alice . i -- i appreciate that . but i agree that there is no point in dragging this out any longer . so , if you all are ready to vote again , i am , too . let 's do it . [ scene_break ] lulu : hi . dante : hey . you got homework ? lulu : uh , kind of . i 'm totally swamped at work since maxie 's in milan . dante : milan ? why ? lulu : mmm ... because she says it 's for work , but i think it 's because she wants to avoid the fallout since she ratted me out to jason , which totally violated girlfriend code . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : it 's not the point . did you make any decisions about michael ? dante : i do n't know , i was just thinking about vince poletti . how i wish he was still around . he always knew the right thing to do . lulu : well , you could use some good advice right about now , huh ? dante : poletti used to coach our , uh , little league baseball team . and when we made it to the district championship , we played brownsville . we were like the yankees , they were the red sox . it was late in the game , score was tied , 2 out , runners on second and third . and i was playing shortstop , and this guy gets up to bat and he hits a rocket into the hole . lulu : in the hole ? dante : it 's the space between me and the third baseman . lulu : oh . okay . dante : so i dive to my right , but i make the grab and there 's no throw to first base , but the runner from second is going to third , so i jump up and dive and i tag him . lulu : wow ! i think i know what you just said . you tagged a guy out and it was the end of the match . dante : inning . lulu : the inning . [ laughs ] dante : right . well , that 's the way it was supposed to be , but the ump blew the call . he did n't see the tag , so , uh , the runner from third scored . lulu : oh , man . you must have been pissed . dante : yes , i was pissed . i still am . i got in the ump 's face . i mean , he should n't even have made the call . he could n't even see the tag . but i got up in his face . i probably said some things i should n't have said , especially at that age , and he threw me out . lulu : wow . that 's actually kind of hot . were you wearing those tight baseball pants , too ? no ? okay . sorry . it 's beside the point . dante : so , anyway , the ump throws me out , i 'm walking back to the dugout thinking that poletti 's gon na royally chew me out . but he did n't . you know , uh , instead ... he told me that i made a great play . and then he sat me down and said that the ump made a bad call . and that that was what the game was about , and sometimes it 's not fair , and sometimes it just does n't go the way it should . lulu : mm . dante : then he said he was ... disappointed in me , because i robbed myself of being able to make a difference in the rest of the game . and i robbed my teammates by letting them down . lulu : wow . that 's -- that 's good advice for a lot of things . dante : the fact that i remember that story today is a pretty big credit to that guy . he got through to me . and it was n't just the message , it was the way he delivered it . it was n't about anger or guilt . it was just ... he just told it like it was . that 's the guy sonny had killed . lulu : i 'm sorry . dante : thanks . you know what ? there 's something that , uh , i got ta go take care of . come on , let 's go . i 'll ride down with you .

[ scene_break ] ava : i went to the crypt to pay my respects to aj before i left . kiki : that 's a bit odd . ava : why do you say that ? kiki : because you 've never really cared about aj . you dealt with tracy over the whole elq battle . you 've never been friends with aj . ava : so , does that mean that i should n't care that the man is dead ? do you think that i am a completely unfeeling human being ? kiki : mom , mom , relax . i 'm just saying it 's a little weird that you ended up in the crypt after running out from seeing morgan hugging me . ava : yeah , it was silly . i 'm -- i felt so silly . i just went for a walk to cool down , and i ended up at the crypt , and it was just a reminder of how fragile life can be . kiki : right . there 's nothing going on between me and morgan . he was comforting me because i was going through something . ava : more problems with michael ? kiki : no , it 's not about michael , and i really do n't want to get into it right now . morgan was being a friend . and despite all the doubts that i 've had with your relationship with morgan ... he 's crazy about you , mom . when he saw that you were upset , he went running after you . i guess he just did n't think to look for you in that creepy crypt .

[ scene_break ] michael : you murdered duke , and you tried to kill my father . carlos : no proof . michael : sabrina is the proof . you told her how you ambushed duke . she made a statement to the police . is that -- is that why you -- why you married her , so she -- she could n't be compelled to testify against you ? you know , the rule does n't apply if she volunteers as a witness . carlos : i married sabrina because i love her , because she 's the mother of my child . now , whatever -- whatever statement those cops tricked her into making is a lie . michael : the only way to avoid a life sentence is to flip on julian jerome . you have to testify that he ordered you to kill duke . you 're looking at maybe five years , out in two . now , that is a long time for sabrina and the baby to be alone . if you love them the way you say you do , you 'll tell me where to find them , so i can help them . carlos : you 're not listening , chico . i ai n't going to prison -- at all . i do n't need a deal . my lawyer took care of everything . did n't you ? alexis : excuse me ? carlos : i was just telling michael here how you 're gon na make sure i walk out of here a free man . alexis : i need a moment alone with my client . alone .

[ scene_break ] carlos : as soon as my freedom is in sight , a witness comes forward ? that 's a hell of a coincidence , do n't you think ? sonny . sonny 's paying this guy to lie . alexis : maybe so , but there 's no way to tie this witness to sonny . carlos : well , then , you better find a way . or you better find another reason to get this case tossed . because if i do n't walk out of here and join my wife and child , i will take the da 's deal , and i will testify against your husband ... mrs. jerome .

[ scene_break ] scott : hornsby . i figured you for a sore loser . you proved me right . paul : you know , calling in that psychiatrist to lie on the stand does n't alter the fact that anna devane is emotionally and mentally unsound . scott : well , that 's not the way the judge saw it , so ... now , if you 're thinking about going after anna ... paul : oh , that 's absurd . scott : ... the same way you went after sloane , think twice . because dr. maddox and i both know the truth . [ scene_break ] anna : i ca n't tell you how relieved i am , really . andré : that smile on your face gives me a little indication . anna : honestly , i - i totally -- i thought that paul was going to get what he wanted , and i would be stuck in jail until the trial . andré : well , you should n't have been in that position . i apologize for making it more difficult than it had to be . anna : what are you talking about ? you 're the one that just vouched for me . andré : well , only after i made the mistake of recusing myself . i had no right to doubt you . anna : after i insisted on confessing to attempted murder despite the fact that there was n't really any evidence ? why on earth would you doubt me ? andré : i meant every word i said to the judge . you are a person of extraordinary courage and integrity . anna : well , you 're a hell of a psychiatrist -- with impeccable timing . i ca n't thank you enough . thank you .

[ jordan slaps andré ] | anna 's arraignment hearing takes place and scott represents her while paul counters his defense . paul tells the judge he has a qualified shrink 's testimony that anna is emotionally unstable as well as a flight - risk and a possible danger to herself and others . and so , he concludes he is denying bail . however , right in the nick of time , andré enters unexpectedly and passionately fights the charges , and is able to convince the judge to let anna out on bail . he also adds and sounds like he might have emotional or `` romantic `` interest in her . sonny tries but fails to get jason to go and talk to michael to persuade him not to get himself in trouble by messing with carlos , knowing it might happen now that michael has received `` startling information `` . carlos has informed michael that he and sabrina are now married . so now , he reminds michael , he has no power or control over anything . yet , alexis meets with carlos and informs him of the `` bad news `` regarding the witness who positively identified him and who may be able to prove that he saw carlos murder duke . at that point , carlos admits he 's worried for the first time and he comes up with an idea involving his reconsidering and telling michael where to find sabrina and the baby in exchange for michael helping him bust out of jail after he gets sentenced . carly talks to finn , revealing she is willing to stop at nothing to find out the mystery of where josslyn 's kidney came from now that they know it did not come from elizabeth 's son , jake . he is ready to do what is necessary to find that out for her and reveals to brad that he will need to perform confidential research in the lab . |

[ scene_break ] alexis : it is well documented that this defendant did in fact go on a homicidal rampage . there is also no question that the actions of mr. zacchara seem incomprehensible , that they are consistent with the actions of a mob boss . they are violent , they are unpredictable , and they are designed to target its enemy . we 're aware that the defense has deposed medical experts that will testify to the fact that mr. zacchara may have been schizophrenic at the time of this latest rampage . but it is our office 's position that mr. zacchara knew and understood the difference between right and wrong . he knew that his actions were wrong , which is why he avoided capture . he also was aware enough to know to target his enemies . okay , so that being said , even if our office were to stipulate that mr. zacchara was , in fact , mentally ill at the time of the black and white ball , he is no longer mentally ill and able to stand trial . so it is our position that mr. zaccharas legally subject to answer to our charges . thank you . ric : your honor , the court knows full well that you can not convict a man on hearsay without proof . anthony zacchara is a very wealthy and very powerful man , which makes him subject to slander . those who want to undercut his power , those who want to take away what he worked so hard for his entire life . being powerful does n't make you popular , but it does n't make you a criminal . what we do know about my client -- he was ill with schizophrenia , very ill . as such , he is not responsible for the crimes he committed . thanks to the miracle of modern medicine , anthony zacchara has had his sanity restored . and we do have medical experts who will testify that not only is anthony zacchara sane but he does understand the difference between right and wrong , and he is ready and willing to be a fully functioning member of society once again . anthony zacchara just wants to go home and spend time with his children , who are in this court today . so we petition the court to give mr. zacchara his basic human rights back . he 's already regained his sanity . give him his freedom .

[ scene_break ] michael : so , is this a negotiation ? i do something for you , you return the favor , like maybe walk away and pretend you never saw me ? lucky : i ca n't do that . michael : now it 's on the line . i knew you 'd say that . oh , yeah . lucky : i have to turn you in . but i 'd like to hear what really happened that night -- from you . not with carly 's spin or dante 's conflict clouding things . straightforward , from your perspective . [ scene_break ] dante : when you look back with perspective , it all ties together . michael had been struggling since he came out of the coma . there was neurological damage , he had impulse control issues . i mean , he was a -- an emotional , volatile kid , and that night set him off . i got to admit , it was shocking when sonny went off on claudia the way he did . no one expected it . everything seemed normal . one minute everything was fine and then the next , chaos . claudia had michael 's pregnant mother at gunpoint , she was going into labor , she hauls her out of there , steals her car , goes god knows where . i mean , michael was n't the only one flipping out . [ scene_break ] michael : jax brought me home , my dad showed up , wanted me to stay with him , and they got into this raging fight . you know , i stood there thinking , if i 'd just come forward sooner and said it was claudia who got me shot , none of it would be happening . so , you know , my head felt like it was gon na explode . and that 's when i decided to take off . i did n't know or care where i 'd end up . i mean , canada seemed as good a destination as any , so ... i got in my car and i headed for the border . [ scene_break ] dante : michael 's driving along , he sees the car claudia stole from the metro court . he knows it 's hers because it 's got the valet ticket . but there 's no sign of carly or claudia . [ scene_break ] michael : so i yelled out for my mom . i was -- i was already afraid of what i might find . my mom had a ... a risky pregnancy and we tiptoed around her for months because any stress could cause a stroke , so ... and after everything that just happened , i felt scared for her . [ scene_break ] dante : michael followed a track through the woods to a cabin . at first he was relieved that carly and claudia had found shelter . [ scene_break ] michael : i made my way up to the door and i heard my mom screaming . lucky : does it get hazy from there ? michael : i wish . i remember every second . [ scene_break ] dante : i mean , can you imagine what 's going through this kid 's head ? there 's his mother on the couch , she 'd just given birth , and this madwoman who 'd kidnapped her at gunpoint is about to take off with the baby . [ scene_break ] michael : there was n't much time to think . i just knew i could n't let claudia leave that cabin with my baby sister . so i -- i grabbed the ax handle , and i ran inside and i hit her as hard as i possibly could . and then she just ... crumpled ... so still , blood making a pool under her head . [ scene_break ] dante : michael dropped to his knees beside claudia . that 's how he got her blood on his shirt . [ scene_break ] michael : she was dead . look , i did n't mean to kill claudia , okay ? all i wanted to do was stop her . [ scene_break ] kristina : i still ca n't believe mom sicced the cops on michael . i mean , now he has to hide out in his own hometown . molly : hey , kristina , i hope you 're not gon na feel guilty about that , too . kristina : michael would n't be here if i was n't such a mess . molly : why -- no , michael would n't want you blaming yourself , kristina . he loves you . nothing could have kept him from checking on you because , well , love gives people shining purpose . on the other hand , guilt takes a pound of flesh from everyone . kristina : what moldy old book did you get that from ? [ door opens ] jason : hey , where 's michael ? i know he was here . you need to tell me where he went . kristina : maybe he does n't want to be found . jason : okay , you know what ? i need to get michael out of the country now . kristina : well , michael does n't want to go , and why should n't he be able to make his own choices ? jason : because his choice was taken away . dante already gave him up . kristina : what do you mean ? jason : he walked into court and dante announced it to everybody that michael killed claudia . [ scene_break ] dante : michael says he did n't mean to kill claudia . i believe him . if there had been a proper investigation , law enforcement would have believed him , too . but , see , michael 's parents and his uncle jason do n't trust the system . their brilliant idea was to engineer cover - up . that 's what they do -- lie , conceal , and cover up , so they do n't have to face the consequences of their actions . eventually it looked like sonny was guilty , so they ran with that , told michael to keep his mouth shut . only michael has a conscience . he 's not versed in the many ways that the grownups in his life evade prosecution . he was compelled to confess . he actually came forward , but commissioner scorpio did n't believe him . but he held on to that shirt , the one definitive thing that places him at the scene with blood on his hands . and it speaks volumes ... for the internal struggle that 's a normal day for that kid . yeah , i know my brother 's messed up . how could he not be with these conscienceless people in charge of him ? judge : all right , now you are sermonizing . claire : your honor , may i please speak ? judge : briefly . to me . claire : i would simply caution , your honor , this is about a conflicted cop with conflicted loyalties conspiring with a brain - damaged kid to try to save their dad from going to prison by offering up a more sympathetic killer . judge : i appreciate you looking out for me , counselor , but i wo n't be basing my decision on this matter on anybody 's word . i need to talk to the boy himself . to that end , i 'm issuing a warrant for the arrest of michael corinthos iii for the murder of claudia zacchara corinthos . [ scene_break ] molly : it does n't make sense . dante would n't do something like this . kristina : michael said dante wanted to protect him . he cared about him . jason : yeah , that 's what dante wanted michael to think . come on , you guys know that dante 's an undercover cop , right ? it 's his job to lie to people and get them to trust him . molly : man , if this is true , morgan 's gon na be so bummed . he really looks up to dante . jason : i know he does . all four of you kids , you 're great . you got this bond , you 're brothers and sisters , and you 're nice enough to want to extend that bond to dante , but you got ta remember first and foremost that he is a cop . he 's trying to put sonny in prison , and he 's gon na do what he has to do to make that happen . where 's michael ? kristina : quartermaine boathouse . jason : thank you . molly : this is crazy . dante seems so nice . kristina : that does n't mean anything . lots of people seem nice . they say they care about you , even love you , and they make promises , and then they just turn around and break them with no warning . i trusted dante , too . he helped me through a lot of stuff with kiefer . but now i see that he was just using me . and jason 's right . dante is a liar and a user , and we can never trust him again .

[ scene_break ] lucky : it 's a pretty hellacious night . i 'm sorry you had to go through it . michael : and there was this voice inside of me trying to convince me that i did n't really kill claudia , that she was n't dead . but i knew that she was dead because i had her blood on my hands . and it was still warm . then jason and sam showed up . they took charge , they told me what to do . lucky : i 'm sure in that moment jason 's only thought was protecting you . now , he 's usually a pretty clear thinker , but when someone you love , especially a child you love is at risk , sometimes you just panic . michael : jason does n't panic . lucky : well , he must have that night . because if somebody would have been thinking clearly , they would have called the police . forensics would have backed up your statement and claudia 's death would have gone down as self- defense . but when you 're terrified , all rational thought just goes out the window . you fall back on what you know ; you go with your instincts . a cover - up just becomes automatic . i know this for a fact , because that 's exactly what my father would have done . michael : my dad showed up . he said i did the right thing . that i finally made him proud . [ scene_break ] judge : was your son michael present in the cabin on the night claudia corinthos died ? carly : yes . he drove over with sonny . he was a few steps behind . he walked in right after sonny hit claudia . and michael was understandably shocked . he knelt down next to claudia to see if she was okay . he had no idea she was dead . and that 's how michael got claudia 's blood on his shirt . judge : so the confession that michael gave to detective falconeri , that 's the lie ? carly : you have no idea what my son 's been through . he went out with his father to a coffee warehouse and he was shot . and that 's because of claudia . she hired someone to kill sonny and michael was hit instead , and he spent a year of his life in a coma . when michael woke up , he was n't the same , and that has been very difficult for all of us . michael has not been able to control his impulses ever since . he 's -- he speaks without thinking , he says things he does n't mean . he 's been to counseling , he 's been to therapy , and we have medical records to support this . yes , yes , we wanted to protect michael . we wanted to shield him from this case because we did n't want to put him through this . but michael did n't do anything wrong , and he definitely did not kill claudia zacchara . and what detective falconeri 's motives are for wanting you to think that he did , i can not say . i do n't know . i can only guess that the prosecution is correct in saying that dante wants to use my son to protect sonny , who happens to be his father . and that 's huge for dante . and if you do n't believe that , you 're not as smart as i think you are . judge : that was quite a speech , mrs. jacks . carly : i was just telling you how it happened . judge : is that it , or is there something you 'd like to add ? carly : that 's all . judge : step down . i want michael corinthos ' medical records added to the case file and on my desk for review . this court will be adjourned until such time as michael corinthos can be produced to go on record . ms. miller , your client 's status has n't changed . he 's still the defendant in an ongoing murder trial . the jury is still sequestered and may be called to render their previous verdict or restart deliberations . court is adjourned . jax : carly . diane : well , you 've been just aching to get michael on the stand . looks like you 're gon na get him . classic case of careful what you wish for . where 's jason ? sonny : looking for michael . with any luck he 's found him and put an end to all this madness . [ scene_break ] lucky : growing up should n't be that tough . michael : you know , i do n't even know what that means . lucky : that 's my point . i mean , these should be some of the best times of your life . you 're young , you 're going off to college soon . you should be dreaming about your future , not trying to cover up your past . michael : well , all my parents and jason want to do is protect me . they want me to wake up from this nightmare intact . lucky : are you ? michael : no . no , a piece of me died the night when i went after claudia with an ax handle and killed her . but i have to own that . you know , i have to take responsibility for my actions and live with the consequences . lucky : well , that 's -- that 's the first step . and then the next would probably be making sure that you can wake up every morning , look in the mirror , and live with the guy that 's staring back at you . [ sighs ] michael , i have to turn you in to the court . okay ? but whether you decide to tell the judge that you killed claudia or not ... that 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] jax : claire . claire : you knew the whole time , did n't you ? that 's why you did n't want me to get michael 's testimony . you brought me onto this case because you knew the charges for sonny would get dropped . my whole career could get flushed because you lied . why ? why did you do this ? jax : i did it to keep my family safe . claire : oh , yeah ? how 's that working out for you ?

you know how nuts that sounds , dante ? dante : you knew lulu was on to you . you tried to shut her up before she got to me . you got to tell me what you did with my wife . luke : my daughter takes priority . let yourself out and do n't come back ! heather : steven lars was handcuffed by the memphis police . they dragged him out of his apartment like he was some kind of common criminal . luke : is that so ?

any reason at all why he might collapse ? elizabeth : as far as i know , he 's healthy . maggie : okay , i 'll check his office , see if there 's any prescription bottles or any other clues as to why this has happened . elizabeth : okay . maggie : i 'll check to see if he has a medical history on file . elizabeth : ewen -- god , ewen , you have to be okay . olivia : you -- you 're leaving town ? what about your magazine ? what about sonny ? i thought that you loved him ? connie : i do love him . this is a birthday present . it 's a surprise . i 'm taking him on vacation to someplace warm . olivia : okay , that explains the clothes . connie : what 's wrong with my clothes ? olivia : just you do n't -- you do n't dress like that ! i have n't seen your hair like that since the senior prom . connie : well , you 're always talking about how i 'm all buttoned up . this is me buttoned down . olivia : so now you tell me you 're gon na be comfortable frolicking around on a beach with sonny somewhere while steve is rotting away in a memphis jailhouse ? connie : look , liv , i 'm sorry , all right ? but i need to pay for the vacation because sonny 's always treating me . olivia : so use one of your 9 million credit cards like you always do ! connie : i ca n't use my credit cards . olivia : why not ? luke : heather -- you were sick , and you needed help . that 's why you went to ferncliff . heather : but i 'm better now . you can see that , ca n't you ? luke : you are the picture of health . but if somebody were to see you right now , holding a gun on me -- they might not understand . and all that work that you did to convince everybody that you were well enough to leave ferncliff , that would all be for nothing . that 'd be a terrible waste . heather : yes . it would be . luke : good . we agree . so give me the gun -- heather : no . luke , i ca n't do that . luke : why not ? heather : the police arrested my son . they 've accused him of murder . now we have to save him . we have to bring him home . if you wo n't help me -- i 'll go down there and save him myself . dante : you need to end this now . ronnie , you need to tell me where lulu is . ronnie : think about who you 're talking to , man . it 's me . it 's ronnie . we 've been friends most of our lives , man . you honestly believe i would do something to your wife or any of those girls ? you 're the one who found the pictures in padilla 's closet . dante : you led me to that box of pictures ! you planted it just like you got ranelle to hang on to that visitor 's pass when you beat her up ! ronnie : well , it was n't me ! it was eddie padilla ! dante : oh , god -- padilla ! padilla ! you 've had it in for her from day one ! you treat her like crap , make all these comments . but you beat her up ? and these dancers , too ? why ? why , ronnie ? why ? what happened to you ? i know you had it rough growing up , but what -- do you get off on beating up women ? ronnie : you know what ? this is crazy , man . dante : no ! no . you know what ? it is crazy , but now it 's making all the sense in the world to me . you were with me in the alleyway when i took photos of those footprints . i tried to catalog them and you told me to forget about it . ronnie : 'cause a hundred different people walk through that alley on any given day ! dante : ronnie , come on ! your footprints were in that -- that file ! ronnie : of course my prints were there ! i was working the scene after padilla got attacked ! dante : it was n't even your case . ronnie : i was helping out . it 's not like padilla was any use . dante : thanks to you . ronnie : you know what ? you know what , dante ? i 'm gon na do you a big favor , man . for all the years i 've known you , i am not gon na write this up with internal affairs . i 'm gon na walk out , and i 'm gon na pretend this never happened . dante : hey . you 're not going anywhere until you tell me where my wife is ! anna : stop it . stop it , you two . stop it . come on . now , you 've always managed to support each other through hard times . you need to do that now . mac : the best thing you can do for maxie is to leave now . she never needs to know you were here . felicia : when i came back for georgie 's funeral , you were the one who tried to make peace between me and maxie . mac : maxie did n't want to hear it then , and she 's not gon na want to hear it now . felicia : well , then she can tell me that herself . mac : she 's going through enough . felicia : mac , it 's not your call to make . mac : the hell it is n't ! i 'm the one who raised maxie and georgie . i 'm the one who stayed while you left to go find yourself or find frisco or whatever justification you had for walking out . the point is , you just ca n't come back here , pick up where you left off . felicia : is this about protecting maxie or punishing me ? alexis : i know this is infuriating , but you ca n't save maxie if maxie wo n't save herself . now , what i 'm really concerned about is that she 's gon na realize what she 's done once she lands in jail , and by then , it 'll be too difficult , if not impossible , to get her out . matt : she wo n't listen ! she wo n't listen . i do n't know -- alexis : just -- just keep trying . it 's gon na start soon . maxie : if you love me , you 'll keep my secret . please , spinelli , look -- i 'm begging you . it 's all i 'll ever ask . just help me protect matt . spinelli : to hell with matt ! i 'm worried about you ! maxie : i 'll be fine , okay ?

[ scene_break ] jason : sonny says he remembers the house . courtney : what do you think ? jason : courtney , i -- it explains a lot . it explains why sonny was so important to ric and why ric did n't kill sonny . look , i 'm going to tell you something . sonny does n't really talk about his mother much . and when he does , he says that she was gentle and loving and she went through hell . and now sonny blames himself because he knows how different her life could have been . courtney : yeah , but sonny was just a kid . he ca n't blame himself . jason : i know . he still -- he still feels guilty . and , of course , ric wants him to feel that way . i do n't know what changed , but when sonny looks at ric , he does n't see an enemy anymore . he sees his mother 's son . courtney : so ric -- ric 's going to get away with everything that he did ? jason : that 's how sonny wants it . courtney : what about you ? jason : ric 's never going to hurt you again . i 'll make sure of that .

[ scene_break ] luke : your poker face needs work , darling . summer : that 's ridiculous . lucky : you know gideon . it 's obvious . summer : matt used to tell me stories when i would have bad dreams about lady summersby and prince gideon . and he was always saving her when she was getting into these terrible messes , taking care of her . matt told me that one day my own prince gideon would show up , take care of me . and until then , he 'd take care of me , and he did . lucky : you think matt is gideon ? luke : and he 's running cassadine coins through the black market ? summer : maybe . luke : hmm . where did ruiz say those auctions were again ? summer : rio . caracas . buenos aires . luke : and where else ? summer : i do n't know . luke : i think you do . where ? summer : havana . luke : havana , one of my favorite cities . i think it 's time for a cigar run , do n't you ? lucky : you know , i do n't even smoke , but i 'm dying for one . so havana 's our next stop ? luke : and what about you ? you still in ? summer : yeah . i 'll meet you back at the hotel . lucky : no , no . we 're staying together . summer : why do n't you just tie a rope around my waist ? luke : as tempting as that idea is , why do n't we try the honor system ? summer : what 's that ? luke : that would be you say you 're going to meet us at the hotel and you actually do meet us at the hotel . summer : novel concept . i will see both of you there . lucky : the honor system ? luke : tying a rope around her waist was a telling little suggestion , was n't it ? lucky : oh , yeah , but she 's totally lying . luke : oh , starting with hello . we may never see her again . god , she 's a gorgeously transparent little liar .

[ scene_break ] sonny : all right . you know what ? there 's nothing you can tell me about carly that i do n't already know . as soon as she found out she was having this baby , she was pregnant , she was going to have it no matter what , right ? no matter what the risks were , no matter if it was going to kill her . the difference between you and i is , i would have fought harder to change her mind . jax : that 's because you 're selfish , sonny . sonny : really ? what about you ? protecting your psycho brother . jax : i am not -- i 'm not protecting my brother . sonny : well , what do you call that ? what are you doing then ? jax : i 'm not protecting him . all i 'm asking is you leave him alone until after the baby is born , okay ? then you can send him straight to hell for all i care . sonny : i ca n't wait . i need jerry right now . jax : well , the last time i saw him , he was unconscious in the e.r . after someone tried to blow him up . was that you ? sonny : that defeats the purpose . no , i need jerry alive . jax : finding jerry wo n't help michael 's chances . it will only upset his mother . you know jerry is perfectly capable of killing jason . how do you think carly will feel about that ? your answers will have to wait , sonny .

[ scene_break ] man : what do you say ? two shots of whiskey , beer back ? second man : we only have enough cash for beer . man : maybe it 's time to go trolling for a fat wallet .

[ scene_break ] rebecca : everybody has a relationship from their past that they 're trying to get over . lucky : yeah , well , elizabeth and i -- we got together out of high school . when you 're young , you think love is all you need . you just never figure that you 'll grow old and people change . rebecca : yeah , tell me about it . lucky : actually , it took two marriages to figure that one out . rebecca : so , um , i was under the impression that elizabeth cheated on you . nikolas : she had her reasons . my addiction . rebecca : yeah , who knows ? yeah , maybe nikolas and elizabeth just realized that they 've got something going on between them . would that bother you ? lucky : would it bother you ? [ scene_break ] johnny : could you be maybe , i do n't know , a little more specific , claudia ? hmm ? you want me to shoot ric in the head , stab him in the back , or i do n't know , i could shoot him full of heroin , make it look like he overdosed . or you know what i could do ? claudia : what ? johnny : make it look like he fell asleep at the wheel and drove his car off of white stripe bluff . claudia : i do n't really care , john . i just want him gone . johnny : why now , claudia ? you said so yourself . the dvd is gone . without that , ric ca n't hurt you any more . claudia : why are you not getting this , johnny ? ric did the math . he thinks the baby might be his , and he 's threatening to tell sonny . johnny : let him . it could be the best thing that ever happens to you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i could almost buy your concern for carly if i did n't think it was an excuse to let jerry get away . jax : i do n't know how many ways i can say it , sonny . i do n't give a damn about my brother , i do n't care what happens to him , if he goes to prison or ends up at the bottom of the river . sonny : great . then stay out of it . jax : he brought it on himself . i am staying out of it . i wo n't lift a finger to help him . sonny : we have nothing else to discuss . good , great -- no more . jax : sonny , you 'd do a lot more good by focusing on michael and the procedure next month instead of chasing after my brother . sonny : let me explain something to you right now . jason : hold on , hold on . sonny : do n't tell me how to be a father ! jax : anything you can do to keep the peace will only help carly . sonny : do not buy into his garbage -- it 's not about carly . it 's about protecting his brother , and that 's all it is . jason : it 's going to be hard to separate the two at this point . sonny : hey , i 'm fine . i 'm fine if carly never knows what jerry did to michael . but you 've got to find him still , because i need to know right now if claudia had anything to do with michael 's shooting . jason : what if it is claudia ? then what ? sonny : everything 's just hitting me , jason , at once . if i could worry about one thing at a time -- carly , michael 's having this procedure next month . that could kill them both . and then i got claudia pregnant . i still do n't know how it happened . i mean , i know how it happened . sex is probably the only thing in our marriage that 's working . jason : i can find jerry . sonny , i can get answers . but what if claudia is guilty ? what are you going to do ? she 's still pregnant . sonny : i 've got to know the truth . then i 'll decide . i ca n't kill a pregnant woman , but after -- i do n't know . i mean , how do i kill the woman who just had my baby ? how do i let the woman live who put michael in a coma ? [ scene_break ] claudia : johnny , do you want me to live ? because if you want me to live , this baby has to be sonny 's . no questions asked , which means we 've got to get rid of ric . johnny : how many ways can you justify this insanity , claudia ? having sonny 's kid , even if this is sonny 's kid , is n't going to make him hate you any less once he finds out what you did to michael . claudia : i did n't do anything . it was ian devlin . and with jerry out of the way , sonny never has to know . johnny : you need to stop thinking you can have a normal life with sonny corinthos . claudia : oh , because you think it would better if this baby grew up with ric lansing as its father ? johnny : i ca n't stand ric . i 'm sure as hell not saying you should start a life with him . claudia : good . johnny : what i 'm saying , claudia , is raise this baby on your own , give it up for adoption , even terminate the pregnancy . it makes no difference to me . you need to free yourself of sonny . claudia : i do n't want to be free of sonny . johnny : then you are delusional . you 're like an addict , clinging to a life -- or a man , who 's going to destroy you . claudia : this baby is a chance for me and sonny to start over and have a real life together . why wo n't you help me ? man : mrs. corinthos , mr. jacks is here to see you . claudia : okay , thank you . jax : it seems i 've interrupted something . johnny : no , i 'm done . claudia : why are you here ? jax : i think we can be of use to each other . [ scene_break ] matt : okay , i 've seen this protocol . i have done additional research on this topic . this all reads like science fiction . patrick : well , that does n't help me at all . i already know it 's risky . matt : there is a 6 % chance that this procedure will work . that means a 94 % chance that it wo n't work , and a 20 % chance that it 's going to kill the kid . not to mention , this is the numbers that the people who came up with this procedure are giving -- patrick : you know what , it 's the only option michael has . matt : i 'm sorry , but even the great patrick drake loses a patient every once and a while . patrick : fine , but you know what ? i 'm not ready to give up on the kid yet . matt : you asked for my opinion . odds are this procedure fails . and since the kid is related to every single heavy - hitter in town , they 're going to blame you when it does .

[ scene_break ] rebecca : if nikolas found someone else , i 'd feel sorry for her . lucky : why ? he 's a good guy . rebecca : well , i mean , i agree . there 's a lot to like about him , but come on . let 's face it . no one 's ever going to live up to emily . i mean , i have a feeling that even emily could n't compete with the version of her that lives on in his head . lucky : it 's been less than two years . maybe he 's still grieving . rebecca : not to sound unfeeling or anything , but is this really what you thought we were going to be doing in my room ? lucky : you 're right . i 'm sorry to be spending all this time on history . rebecca : at least i 'm getting to know you a little bit better . lucky : so how come i still feel as if i hardly know you at all ? rebecca : come on , what do you mean ? i 'm an open book . what you see is what you get . lucky : yeah , i just got a feeling that you 're more than a series of clichés . rebecca : i like you , lucky . does that make me a cliché ? lucky : no , it just makes you a woman with good taste . rebecca : i mean , you 're great to hang out with . you 're fun , smart . you 've got wonderful eyes . and your mouth -- or do n't we want to go there ? lucky : i was just hoping you would say that .

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

[ ringing ] spinelli : the effervescent ellie -- i was just about to call you . i met with betsy frank . ellie : damian , listen to me . um , i need to tell you something of the utmost importance . dante : let 's go home . lulu : i 'm so sorry , but i ca n't . i know you 're not trying to pressure me , but i 'm not ready to go back to a place i do n't remember . dante : how do you know if you 've never been there before ? i mean , we spent so much time there , and maybe just being in that space will bring things back . lulu : you do n't understand , okay ? i -- i 've tried . i went onto milo 's laptop , and i looked up who i was and who you were and what we meant to each other , and i ... i tried to feel what that smiling woman in all those photos was feeling , but i could n't , okay ? dante : okay . so let 's try again . let 's try again . maybe me being there with you will make it easier . lulu : i feel more comfortable here with milo , okay ? dante : all right . all right , i -- i , uh ... i understand , and i respect your decision . and i 'm not gon na force you to go home if you 're not ready to go home . lulu : thank you . maybe you 're right . maybe you 're one of the good guys . dante : ah . nice that you 're finally starting to realize that . but if you 're gon na stay here with our good buddy milo ... then so am i . nikolas : [ sighs ] carly : can you please help me find my clothes ? aj : look , i want you out of here as much as you want to get out of here . carly : your mother was so excited about the thought that elizabeth was in this room , she 's gon na bring up milk and cookies . aj : you know what ? hey , i 'll throw us both out of the window before that happened . no one can know about this , especially my mother . carly : can you imagine the look on her face if she knew it were me in this bed instead of elizabeth ? [ doorbell rings ] monica : coming ! | lulu comes onto milo . he pushes away from her . she kisses him again . he pushes her away again and tells her never to do that again . he asks her how she thinks it would make dante feel . she says she does n't remember being dante 's wife . she doubts that max ratted her out to dante . dante bangs on the door . lulu opens it , tells him that she told him that she is ok , and attempts to close the door on him , but he forces himself in . he is very thankful to milo for keeping lulu safe until he finds out that she has been with milo the whole time . he punches milo . lulu accuses him of taking unfair advantage because he knows milo wo n't defend himself against his boss 's son . she demands that dante apologize . he does it and then asks her to come home . she says no , she is n't ready . he says she can stay at milo 's place , but that he is staying there too . |
maxie : we should stop . levi : you were n't saying `` stop `` this morning . maxie : well , that 's because we were in the privacy of our own bedroom . levi : there 's nothing wrong with displaying a little bit of affection for the public . maxie : when the public includes my dad ? trust me , you do not want his first impression of you to be with your tongue in my mouth . levi : good point . maxie : i just want my parents to love you like i do , along with everyone else that i care about . levi : and more importantly , everyone who cares about you . maxie : hopefully someday that list will include dante and lulu .

[ scene_break ] levi : i 'm pretty stoked about meeting dante and lulu . when are you going to finally introduce us ? maxie : actually , i was thinking that i should probably talk to them alone first just to test the waters . levi : i 'll be on my best behavior . maxie : no , it has nothing to do with you . are you crazy ? you 're amazing . it 's ... just the last time lulu and i saw each other , things were ... levi : strained ? maxie : i decimated her family and killed her dreams right along with it . levi : okay . but she did get the family that she always wanted . it all balances out . maxie : but that does n't erase what i did . levi : you made a mistake . maxie : understatement . levi : you hurt a bunch of people , including yourself , but look how far you 've come since then . piece by piece , you 've put yourself back together . now it 's time to do the same for your friendship with lulu . maxie : is this your subtle way of telling me that i 'm trying to avoid her ? levi : are n't you ? maxie : but what if she wants it that way ? what if lulu does n't miss me as much as i 've missed her ? i 'm just saying , it 's totally possible that she has n't thought about me once since she got her son back . [ scene_break ] dante : you give us the location , we 'll give you your freedom . dr. obrecht : but that 's not how this works , detective . i want the deal for myself and my daughter in hand , then you get your precious embryo . dante : d.a .

[ scene_break ] sam : you think anthony arranged for brandon 's murder and framed abby . jason : like you just said , the best way to get to sonny is michael , and that 's what anthony wants . sam : ok . well , if this were a set - up , then it had to have been a professional killer . i 'm going to go out and see if i can ask around -- jason : what do you mean , you 're going to go out tonight ? sam : yeah . i 'm going to see if i can get a lead . why not ? jason : you have the surgery tomorrow . should n't you be getting some rest ? sam : i do n't know . i mean , maybe i 'm just trying to put it off for a little while . jason : you do n't have to make excuses to put it off . sam : i 'm not making excuses . i mean , to you , anyway . maybe just to me . jason : i thought it was what you wanted . sam : i do n't know , jason . i mean , what i want keeps changing . i am sure that i love you , and i love our life together , and i am just afraid that if i get my hopes up , then i 'm going to get disappointed , and that 's not -- just listen to me . ohm . what am i doing ? this is just a procedure . jason : i know . but -- it 's got to be your choice . ok ? it needs to feel right to you . and whatever you decide , i 'm going to support you .

that 's what this look is , and , trust me , it 's not for you . it 's for johnny -- when he comes to his senses and realizes he should n't have gone anywhere near you . connie : oh , johnny ca n't get enough of me . i make him feel dangerous , reckless , unstoppable , carly . you -- not so much . carly : you need to shut your mouth . connie : oh , hey , do n't shoot the messenger . carly : johnny did not talk to you about me . connie : in excruciating detail . it was actually quite depressing , carly . i mean , here you are -- all this supposed fire , the wild carly . i would have pegged you as a wildcat in bed , not a pathetic wallflower . that 's okay , because johnny has me now [ clicks tongue ] and i can do things with him that you never dreamed . carly : you know what i dream out ? connie : oh ! carly : that ! connie : you do n't want to do this , carly . carly : this and more . leonard : miss howard , miss jacks . carly : hi , leonard . leonard : is there a problem ? carly : nothing i ca n't handle . connie : everything 's fine , leonard . thank you . you think you can handle me ? carly : more like wipe the floor with your skeevy ass . connie : i 'd like to see you try that . carly : be careful what you wish for . connie : you 're lucky i 'm running late . carly : you should get a move on . connie : oh , no , you did n't . carly : hell , yeah , i did . hey ! give me that . connie : [ exhales deeply ] you bitch ! i hate you ! carly : you whore . connie : oh , shut up ! i hate your stupid face ! uhh ! carly : [ gasps ] connie : [ screams ] starr : do you think sonny will come after you again ? johnny : yeah , but he 's not gon na do it here . he 'll try to kill me in a way that ca n't be traced back to him , you know ? starr : like shooting out your tires on a winding road . johnny : right , but i do n't think he 's gon na repeat himself that soon , although who knows ? he got away with it once . maybe he thinks he can do it again . starr : why did n't you call the police and them that he broke into your house , he started shooting at you ? johnny : 'cause i 'd like to keep breathing . starr : you 're really that scared ? johnny : no , no . i 'm really that smart . see , guys in my business -- we operate on an unspoken code , and that means we do n't call the cops . starr : your business is horrible . johnny : yeah , it is , but i guess my only defense is i was born into it . i did n't choose it . starr : sonny did . johnny : right . and he loves the power . he loves the violence . he does n't care who he has to step on to get to the top . he has no conscience about going after innocent bystanders . starr : what will you do when he comes after you -- again ? johnny : defend myself . sonny : when i went to johnny 's apartment , the door was open . walked in . it was all torn apart . there was clothes everywhere , and the table was knocked over . michael : she fought him . sonny : that 's what i thought . and then she cried out . at the time , i did n't know that the cry was n't for help . so i go upstairs , i walk in . there they were -- in bed -- happy to see me . michael : happy ? sonny : obviously , johnny wanted me to find -- find them together , 'cause he wanted to take away what i thought was mine . michael : what about kate ? sonny : [ exhales deeply ] kate told me -- to my face that she was exactly where she wanted to be . michael : she was n't even sorry ? sonny : she made some half - assed apology that she did n't want me to find them that way , and then she admitted -- that -- they had been sleeping together for months . see , this is the lesson you got to learn . michael : i do n't understand . sonny : you ca n't ignore your instincts . i knew there was something wrong with kate , i knew there was something off , but i did n't want to face it . i - i -- you know , i - i was blind to what was happening right in front of me . michael : dad , you can not blame yourself for this . sonny : well , they betrayed me , michael , and i made it easy for them . michael : what about mom ? sonny : i walked out . she went into the dirt bag 's room . mcbain : could n't have happened to a nicer guy . it 's not what i 'm looking for . michael : she was there ? sonny : i told your mom over and over again that johnny 's gon na use her , but you ca n't -- you ca n't -- your mom does n't listen . you know , you ca n't tell her anything . michael : she thinks she really cares about johnny . sonny : yeah , well , not anymore . michael : i understand why johnny would do something like this . i mean , he hates you that much , but i do n't understand kate in this . sonny : well , you know , uh , kate obvious -- obviously knew something was wrong , because , at some point , she went to see a shrink . michael : it does n't sound like her . sonny : maybe -- maybe i - i did n't really know kate . maybe she was , you know -- i just knew the -- i just knew the g - girl she left behind . michael : when she left you behind in bensonhurst ? dad , i - i do n't know what to say . sonny : oh , well . michael : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i almost feel bad for kate , too . mom 's gon na kill her . connie : get off of me ! carly : go to hell ! [ indistinct shouting ] connie : [ screams ] ow . get off of me , you psycho bitch ! carly : i want to kill you ! i want to kill you ! connie : stop ! get off of me ! carly : come here ! connie : oh , god ! ladies ! ladies ! ladies , please . connie : that 's how you do it in bensonhurst ! carly : really ? i thought you were from connecticut ! connie : oh , yeah ? ! carly : yeah ! whoo ! wow . what 's this ? connie : give me that , carly . carly : sonny said you were seeing a shrink . let 's see how crazy you really are . elizabeth : kate howard and johnny zacchara ? is it just me , or is that the weirdest pairing of all time ? olivia : it 's not just you . elizabeth : she had to have known it was gon na blow up in her face . olivia : well , she would n't be the first woman who was taken in by johnny 's smile . elizabeth : sonny hates johnny . olivia : which brings me back to my original point . it 's like -- she 's acting like connie used to do . she 's being a real fire - starter . she used to love starting trouble , just for the hell of it . elizabeth : well , she 's not gon na love sonny 's wrath when he finds out . olivia : sonny already found out . he walked in on the two of them in bed together . elizabeth : stop it . olivia : yes . he broke up with her on the spot , obviously , but it 's like she does n't even care . i do n't know what the hell is going on with her . elizabeth : so maybe she is capable of attacking ewen . olivia : yeah , but why would you attack the guy that you were going to for help ? elizabeth : maybe because he was gon na have her committed . olivia : do we know why ? elizabeth : mnh - mnh . olivia : but we could find out , right ? right ? elizabeth : uh -- olivia : but you already looked in his files once . come on . elizabeth : all right . fine . fine . i 'll do it . olivia : and this time , look for kate , not connie . connie : give me that paper , carly ! carly : i have n't had a chance to read it . connie : hand it over ! carly : i always knew you were a fake . d.i.d . ? what the hell is d.i.d . ? sam : let me get this straight . i 'm wrong for confiding in mcbain , but you -- you 're allowed to tell elizabeth private details of our life ? jason : i remembered that she 'd seen you with some guy the day of the checkup . so i showed her john mcbain 's picture , and when elizabeth id 'd him , i guess she saw the look on my face and saw how hard it hit me . sam : okay . fine . you hate that i turned to mcbain . i hate that you turned to elizabeth . jason , they 're not the problem . we are . we need to figure out a way to deal with what 's happened . i am carrying franco 's child . jason : do n't . do n't . sam : do n't what , jason ? what ? say it out loud ? you -- you ca n't even look at me . it 's like i 'm tainted . jason : you know that 's not how i feel about you . sam : can you tell me how you feel about the baby ? please . you keep avoiding this , but -- but i need answers , jason . our whole life depends on it . will you or will you not be able to love this child as if it were your own ? jason : look , i - i know what you want me to say . you want me to promise to love this baby , but i -- it 's just too soon . i ne -- i need more time . i just do n't know . sam : you do n't know ? jason , when will you know ? when i 'm in labor ? when the baby is 2 days old or -- or 2 months old ? nothing is gon na change from then until now . this child deserves two parents who will love unconditionally , no matter what . can you do that ? can you give our child the love that -- jason : it 's not ours . it 's not your fault . franco did this to both of us . i ca n't just pretend that he 's -- that he 's not a part of this child . sam : hey , listen . this has n't been easy for us , not from the very beginning . but we survived , jason . we made our own way . we made our own rules . this baby needs you -- your love , your protection , your patience . please . please tell me you can give all that . jason : i ca n't . connie : give me that . carly : hey ! you better tell me what d.i.d . is , or i 'm gon na read it for myself . connie : i told you , that 's none of your damn business . carly : you know what ? you could have left well enough alone . you were out of sonny 's life . you were nothing more than a neighbor . but you had to come back here and paint yourself the savior . you had to talk jax into giving you half of my business and then taking off with my man . connie : sex with johnny was his idea -- point of fact . carly : you know what ? you just put yourself in the middle of my business , okay ? i 'm really good at figuring out secrets and even better at blowing them sky - high . so whatever the hell your d.i.d . is , i 'm gon na find out . connie : you do n't want to mess with this , carly . carly : it 's that good , is it ? connie : you keep it up , you 're gon na find out just how good it is . olivia : hey . elizabeth : nothing . olivia : that 's just crazy . i know that kate is a patient of dr. keenan 's . what ? what ? go ahead and say it . elizabeth : well , if kate 's angry enough to attack him , then it 's not a stretch to think that she would take the file . it would keep anyone else from committing her . olivia : we ca n't jump to conclusions to like that . we do n't know yet that she 's done anything . elizabeth : okay . i - i get it . she 's family . olivia : `` family . `` elizabeth : what ? olivia : i went to dr. keenan to talk about steve 's crazy mother . i said i had a family member that i needed to have committed . elizabeth : yeah ? olivia : he asked me how i knew . he must have thought that i was talking about kate . oh , god . my cousin is in serious trouble . elizabeth : we need to get her help . olivia : we got to find her first . michael : for what it 's worth , you do n't deserve this . mcbain : [ scoffs ] deserves it and more , kid . sonny : your support means a lot to me . michael : some birthday , huh ? sonny : one i 'd like to forget . michael : i have n't even given you your present yet . sonny : i do n't need gifts . you know that . michael : it looks like somebody did n't get the memo . mcbain : now we 're getting somewhere . sonny : i did n't notice . what is -- michael : `` atlantic city gang violence ends in young woman 's death . `` i remember now . max said that john mcbain left you a present -- a newspaper article in a frame . sonny : mcbain . jason : sam , i want -- i want to love this baby . i do . sam : then love it , jason . jason : it 's just not -- it 's not that easy . sam : yes , it is . you did it with michael . you love him like he was your own son . you still do . i mean , a.j . was n't your favorite person . jason : a.j . was n't franco . he did n't do what franco did . and what -- what if that -- what if that 's all that goes through my head every -- every time i see this baby 's face ? sam : you do n't think i ask myself those same questions every day ? i hated franco as much you did , jason . this baby is a part of me . unlike you , i ca n't walk away . jason : so , what do we do ? sam : not `` we . `` `` you . `` jason : that 's not fair . sam : no , it 's not . none of this is fair . this baby did n't ask to be conceived . not like this . not from him . jason , here we are . jason : i just -- i just do n't have an answer -- yet . sam : [ sighs ] okay . i mean , you need time -- to decide how you feel . and while you 're doing that -- i think it 's best if i move out . carly : you know what ? connie : huh ? carly : get out of here . and do us a favor -- do n't come back . connie : you 'd like that , would n't you ? carly : more than you know . connie : so you can stick your fangs back into johnny ? carly : i would n't touch johnny zacchara now . connie : you know , i 'd hate to disappoint you , carly , but i 'm gon na do whatever the hell i want . carly : not here . no , you wo n't . connie : i own half this joint . carly : `` joint `` ? connie : joint . hotel . whatever . and i 'm gon na do whatever i want , and you ca n't order me to do anything . carly : you overstayed your welcome , bitch . no one can stand the sight of you . connie : johnny sure can . carly : really ? connie : yeah . carly : great . connie : great . carly : go be with johnny and give him a message for me . connie : what ? carly : he deserves you . connie : bitch . olivia : she had the safe wide open . she was stuffing a bag full of cash . elizabeth : was she traveling alone ? olivia : i do n't know . it seemed like it , but then johnny showed up , so who the hell knows ? elizabeth : maybe we should warn him . olivia : johnny can take care of himself . elizabeth : i thought you guys were close . olivia : you know what ? johnny 's changed . he used to be sort of dangerous or self - destructive , but he always had a conscience . you know , lines that he would n't cross . now he just does n't give a damn who he hurts . and to prove that , the way that he went off after your brother . elizabeth : what ? what does that mean ? olivia : johnny is the reason your brother was arrested . elizabeth : okay , i do n't even know what 's going on . heather said something about the death of a patient , not that she 's the most reliable source . olivia : and do n't ever forget that . here 's the deal . steve got himself into some trouble . johnny went and made it a whole hell of a lot worse . starr : it 's not getting any easier . johnny : it will . starr : when ? johnny : these things take time , starr . starr : you gon na tell me to put one foot in front of the other , too ? johnny : sorry . i guess that was pretty bad , huh ? starr : whoever made up those sayings has never been where i am . johnny : well , maybe not , but everybody 's lost something , right ? something they ca n't imagine their lives without . starr : speaking from experience ? johnny : what happened -- it 's not your fault , okay ? starr : i still feel guilty . not about the accident . i feel guilty that cole and hope are dead and the man that killed them is out free to live his life . johnny : it 's not your job to make sonny pay . starr : the legal system did n't exactly step up . johnny : this is gon na sound cold , but what 's done is done . there 's no use looking in the past , you know ? starr : when i look forward , there 's nothing . it 's like -- it 's like i 'm lost in this fog . nothing is familiar . i ca n't see a foot in front of me . everything 's cold and blank . but people keep telling me that i 'm so young . but all that means is years and years of life without cole and hope . johnny : but you got your music , huh ? try focusing on that instead of getting revenge on sonny . starr : would you honestly be able to let it go ? johnny : all right . you got me . no . and -- and i did n't . i set out to hurt sonny , and i hurt him bad . ended up only hurting myself even worse . [ cell phone rings ] johnny : i 'm sorry . i got to take this . yeah ? where is he ? you sure he 's at home ? i do n't care what anthony says , all right ? we got to be on guard . the guy 's gon na be coming for us . starr ? starr ? michael : max did n't tell you mcbain was here ? sonny : i 'm sure he tried , but you know what ? i was n't in the mood to listen . michael : well , he had a warrant . but , i mean , why bother bringing this , too ? what does it have to do with you ? mcbain : come on . come on . give me something . sonny : he blames me for something that happened a hundred years ago . michael : this girl 's death ? sonny : he has his facts wrong . i was not responsible . mcbain : bppp ! sonny : but , see , sometimes it 's easier to blame me than to look for the truth , just like your friend -- starr manning . michael : she 's grieving . no , dad . i mean , she -- she ca n't let go of what anthony told her . sonny : oh , you have to understand something . i am cutting her some slack 'cause she 's a young girl . that 's all fine . but if -- if mcbain thinks he 's gon na pin this tragedy on me , he 's got another thing coming . mcbain : we 'll see about that , sonny . jason : sam , if you want to be apart , then let me go . sam : i do n't want any of this , jason . but i have to do what i think is best for my child . jason : this is your home . sam : this was supposed to be our home -- you , me , the baby . we were supposed to be a family together . jason : i ca n't -- i ca n't lie to you . i ca n't let you believe something that i do n't even know yet myself . sam : okay . you need some time to think -- and so do i . jason : well , then , you stay , and i 'll go . sam : no , jason . i am not staying here . everywhere i look reminds me of you and how happy we were . [ sniffles ] and the family that we were supposed to raise together . jason : where are you gon na go ? your mom 's ? sam : no . i ca n't go -- no . i do n't -- i do n't want to deal with her right now . she 's gon na ask all kinds of questions . it 's just gon na be too much . jason : i need to know where you are . sam : okay , well -- i 'll call you when i find a place . [ sniffles ] [ chuckles ] they 're supposed to be stronger together . i still believe that . jason : then why leave ? sam : because i need you to believe it , too .

[ chuckles ] all right ? michael : okay . i 'll -- i 'll call you . okay ? again , i 'm sorry . mcbain : [ scoffs ] your old man does n't know the meaning of the word , but he will . [ cell phone ringing ] mcbain : hi . just work and more work . gon na take a little coffee break . how are you ? how 's liam ? hmm ? jason : and ? sam : [ chuckles ] it 's a phoenix . jason : yeah , i - i was thinking about what robert yi said when we got married -- how , you know , the phoenix is the goddess of all creatures , but she can turn bad luck into good . and that 's you . sam : i love it . thank you . jason : mm - hmm . sam : i got you something . jason : what ? sam : uh - huh . [ drawer opens ] jason : really ? sam : yeah . wait for it . jason : [ sighs ] sam : i wanted to give you something that would remind you of us -- me . [ chuckles ] jason : it 's the dragon . sam : [ chuckling ] yeah . jason : wow . sam : they say if you have the phoenix and the dragon -- together , it 's meant to be . jason : well , now they are . elizabeth : okay , thank you , officer . i 'm sorry . olivia : you do n't have to apologize . elizabeth : i just feel like the police should know . i mean , either kate knows something about what happened to ewen -- olivia : or she brained the poor guy herself . [ sighs ] oh , god . i got to go check on heather . elizabeth : okay . will you let me know if you hear anything from steven ? olivia : yeah . you do the same with dr. keenan . elizabeth : i will . olivia -- and you were right before . we do n't know that your cousin did this . olivia : yeah , but even if she did n't , something is obviously up with kate , and it 's not something good . as usual , sonny 's dodged himself one hell of a bullet . you think it 's legit ? a big - time fashion editor whacks her own shrink ? wo n't know till we talk to her . connie : [ laughs ] johnny : starr ? hello ? what the hell ?

'cause i thought i saw his car in the front ? monica : oh , no . uh , no . he 's -- he 's home . he 's home . elizabeth : well , then , why ca n't i see him ? monica : i ca n't tell you how wonderful it feels to finally approve of a woman who is sharing your bed . oh , elizabeth is so far above the women you were seeing when you were drinking . aj : um , mom , listen . i - i - i should probably get -- monica : oh , of course . oh , of course . of course . please apologize to elizabeth . i 'm so sorry i interrupted . aj : it 's okay . elizabeth : monica ? monica : hmm ? elizabeth : is everything okay ? monica : oh . oh , yes . y - yes . yes , everything is fine . i - i -- well , i was just upstairs , and , uh -- and aj is asleep ... i think . carly : i 'm going straight home . i 'm gon na take two aspirin and hope whatever disease has taken over me tonight will be gone in the morning . aj : great . you 'll understand if i do n't walk you out , right ? carly : i do n't need you to walk me anywhere . aj : good . okay ! bye ! what ? what 's with the face ? carly : your mom thinks i 'm elizabeth . aj : uh , no offense , but there is no comparison . carly : what if she says something to her ? aj : what , to elizabeth ? carly : yeah . i mean , they both work at the same hospital . i 'm sure they run into each other from time to time . aj : what is she gon na say ? what ? `` oh , hey , have fun sleeping with my son the other night ? `` talk about awkward . carly : you better say nothing . aj : what are you talking about ? i 'm disgusted . i 'm not gon na say a word . carly : cone of silence . aj : cone of silence . i 'm not gon na say a thing . elizabeth : monica , it 's kind of important . it wo n't take long . monica : elizabeth , i just -- i just know that this is the right time . elizabeth : please . if he 's asleep , i promise i 'll leave . let me just run up and check . monica : even if he is awake , he , um -- well , he just seemed really worn - out tonight . elizabeth : oh , that 's all my fault . things we said earlier -- things that i regret -- and i just do n't want to leave it until the morning . like i said , it wo n't take long . monica : well , i - i - i do n't know , really . elizabeth : monica , i highly doubt he 's sound asleep . he 's probably upstairs tossing and turning . monica : well , that 's entirely possible . aj : hey , back for round two ? carly : of misery ? no , thank you . elizabeth is here , and she 's on her way up right now . nikolas : while you were off rescuing lulu , elizabeth and i got close again . laura : well , scotty told me that she practically lived next to your bedside . well , i - i 'm grateful to her for that . i am . nikolas : aj does n't , uh , share your sentiments , apparently . i mean , i 've -- i 've seen spencer react to bad news more maturely . laura : what happened ? nikolas : [ scoffs ] he threw a - a [ chuckles ] jealous rage , showed up at my hospital room beating his chest , warning me to stay away from his woman . laura : he did n't say that . nikolas : yeah . close enough . laura : was elizabeth there ? nikolas : no , but when i told her what happened , she was n't happy about it . she confronted aj and broke up with him . laura : i see . nikolas : [ chuckling ] yeah . paranoia is a powerful thing , apparently . he was so convinced that i was out to steal elizabeth from him , he ended up driving her away himself . laura : but was he ? paranoid ? 'cause you just kind of admitted that you wanted elizabeth . nikolas : i know , but i was n't at that point -- not yet . laura : but you are now . nikolas , i 'm sorry , honey . i wish i could back you up on this one , but i think this -- this is such a bad idea . ellie : oh , i will not ! maxie : do you really think you should be fighting with a pregnant person ? i already had one miscarriage . spinelli . it 's maxie . spinelli : maxie . uh ... what 's going on ? it sounded like the phone made its way through a wood chipper . maxie : it 's really windy outside . probably a poor connection . spinelli : okay , where -- where 's ellie ? maxie : she had to step out . spinelli : in the middle of our conversation ? ellie : [ sighs ] maxie : she told me to tell you she would talk to you later . spinelli : well , i mean , that 's curious , because she said she had news of the utmost importance to relay . maxie : well , i guess it could wait . spinelli : maxie ? maxie : yeah . spinelli : does this have something to do with dante and lulu 's baby ? dante : lulu , please , just give me a chance here , okay ? lulu : milo , thank you so much for letting me stay here . thank you for being so patient and understanding . that was exactly what i needed , and it meant the world to me . thank you so much . milo : lulu , wait up . dante : uh , no . no . you 're not going anywhere . milo : she 's upset . dante : yeah , and i 'll handle it . milo : dante , she does n't want to talk -- dante : you do n't know what she wants ! and she does n't know what she wants , either . keep a leash on your brother , please , max . i 'm going to find my wife . milo : maybe we should go look for lulu . max : and piss off dante even more ? you heard him , milo . he 's got this . milo : i know he thinks that , but lulu -- max : lulu is his wife . milo : well , she 's not feeling it right now . what if she runs away -- for real , this time ? or falls in with bad company ? she could end up on pier 52 -- that place is like a death trap . max : what if you stop worrying , all right ? just relax . dante will find her . dante : coleman , hey . have you seen lulu ? coleman : yeah . by the jukebox . dante : thanks . coleman : you know me , man . no blonde goes unnoticed , brother . dante : you , uh , need a couple quarters ? lulu : what did you do , plant a gps on me ? dante : [ chuckles ] no . i 'm a detective . it 's my job to find things . lulu : oh , awesome . so , now i 'm a thing . dante : that 's not what i meant , and you know it . lulu : do you mind ? i 'm trying to pick out a song . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : what ? dante : that 's , uh , exactly what you were doing the night we met . maxie : what do you mean ? what does it have to do with the baby ? spinelli : i urged ellie to let it go , but she was convinced that something was amiss and that you were neglecting to be honest about it . maxie : spinelli , i can explain that . spinelli : but was she right ? i - is there something wrong with dante and lulu 's baby and , for whatever reason , you feel responsible ? because , maxie , if that 's the truth , you -- i implore you to tell the parents the truth . i mean , they are , after all , your friends , and they deserve to know . maxie : fine . fine . y - you want to know what ellie needed to tell you ? she hacked into my medical records . spinelli : what ? maxie : yeah . your perfect little girlfriend is a sneak and a thief . she got so wrapped up in this conspiracy , she actually broke the law . spinelli : and ? maxie : and what ? spinelli : well , look , i 'm not condoning her methods , but i 'm curious . did the search prove fruitful ? maxie : oh , yeah . there was plenty of fruit . ellie discovered that there was nothing wrong with this baby . spinelli : [ chuckling ] well , that -- that 's wonderful news . maxie : is n't it . spinelli : i imagine you 're not too happy with ellie . maxie : [ sighs ] well , i was , uh , furious at first , but she knows she messed up , and she was a big enough person to admit it , so , in turn , i 've let it go . spinelli : well , that 's very generous . maxie : yeah , so , um , that 's the really important thing that ellie needed to tell you . i wanted you to hear it directly from her , but since you kept badgering me ... spinelli : you know , i 'd like -- i 'd actually like to hear it from her as well , so when she gets back , could you have her give me a call ? maxie : not a problem , spinelli . bye . ellie : what are you doing ? maxie : what does it look like ? ellie : that was a stall at best , maxie . i 'm telling damian the truth . maxie : not until you hear me out first . ellie : [ sighs ] nikolas : perhaps we should talk about something else . laura : just hear me out , please . nikolas : okay . okay . laura : your relationship with elizabeth was anything but simple . nikolas : understatement . laura : it had huge , huge consequences , practically destroyed your relationship with lucky . you almost lost your own brother . nikolas : mother , i - i - i know that . i know that . i thank god every single day that he 's been so forgiving . laura : and what if he 's not so forgiving the second time around ? nikolas : what if he 's not ? he 's in no position to forgive -- to forgive anything . he 's not married to elizabeth . i mean , he has n't even been back here to visit her in over a year . laura : that does n't mean that he 's indifferent to her . look , she has every right to move on with her life , but if he finds out that she has moved on -- nikolas : i know that . i know that . laura : with you , it 's gon na be incredibly painful for him . and i know that we all think of lucky as a rock . and god knows [ sighs ] we expected far too much of him growing up . nikolas : mother -- laura : but after everything he 's been through , nikolas ... nikolas : i know lucky , okay ? that 's -- that 's why i let elizabeth go . and she -- she went off to be with lucky , who turned around and went to ireland , okay ? he 's there . i 'm here . these -- these are the circumstances . wh - what do you want me to do ? laura : so , because your brother 's not here , it makes it all okay ? nikolas : no . it 's not about that . it 's because aj quartermaine is pursuing elizabeth , okay ? he 's not a good person . of all the quartermaines , he is , by far , the worst . she should not be with him . there . i said it . laura : so , then , why did she leave when you were kissing her ? nikolas : to go see aj but only because she felt that there were some things left unresolved . that 's it . laura : ca n't you see what 's happening here ? look , if she works things out with aj and you continue to pursue her , you are setting yourself up to be a homewrecker all over again . aj : hey . stay here . do n't move . do n't say a word , all right ? carly : [ scoffs ] could this night get any worse ? elizabeth : monica , just give me five minutes , and i promise i 'll get out of your hair . elizabeth : monica , what -- aj : elizabeth , i thought i heard you . monica : oh , well , aj . look who 's here . elizabeth : did i wake you ? aj : uh , no . no . i was , uh , just doing some reading . elizabeth : what happened to your mouth ? aj : um ... it 's -- it 's a long story . you know , let 's -- let 's go in here and talk . elizabeth : okay . aj : okay . i , uh -- i got to be honest . i 'm kind of surprised to see you . elizabeth : i did n't like the way we left things . aj : yeah , me either . elizabeth : and i was hoping that it 's not too late to fix them . monica : i do n't know who you are , but you are not elizabeth webber . after many destructive , disastrous relationships , my son has finally found someone who is good for him . and i am not , under any circumstances , going to let anybody ruin it . monica : carly . this is n't happening . you and aj did n't -- carly : no ! no , we -- we did n't . i mean , this is not at all what it looks like . monica : oh , really ? oh , really ? because what it looks like is you and my son just had wild sex . elizabeth : i 've been thinking about us and what happened and how i treated you and -- aj : elizabeth -- elizabeth : no , please , let me just get this out . aj : okay . elizabeth : i realize now the confrontation you and nikolas had -- i - i kind of overreacted . aj : no . look , you were insulted . i mean , it 's completely -- elizabeth : and obviously , i did n't -- i was n't happy with the way you dealt with things , but i did n't deal with them well , either , and i - i should n't have gone off on you like that , aj . i 'm really sorry . aj : no , please . please , do n't apologize . i mean , look , if anyone overreacted , it was me . i acted like a neanderthal , you know -- marking my territory and then going postal when he answered your phone . elizabeth : well , you did n't know i was gon na be with nikolas . i get it . aj : well , i get that there 's nothing going on between you two . i mean , you guys were friends for years before you , you know , became more than friends , and , uh -- i do n't know . you know , i was an idiot to think that -- that he had any kind of romantic intentions . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : actually , you 're not too far from the truth . nikolas : wow , homewrecker ? laura : that came out a lot worse than i intended it to . nikolas : lucky and elizabeth were engaged . what she and i did was blatant betrayal -- something i own , by the way . but she -- she and aj -- they 're barely dating , if that . he 's -- he 's half the man that lucky is . laura : well , i wo n't argue with you on that . nikolas : he 's never given anyone any reason to trust him , let alone respect him . laura : so , because you feel that way about aj , it 's fair to break up elizabeth 's relationship -- one that she seemed to be happy in until you came back to town ? monica : you are detestable . carly : tell me how you really feel . monica : destroying my son 's life once was n't enough for you ? you had to worm your way back in again ? carly : i want nothing to do with aj 's life . monica : oh , really ? carly : yeah , really . i mean , you might think he 's terrific , and you adore him , and you enable him . and you might think that there 's someone who desires him , and maybe somewhere out there , somebody does . that 's not me , okay ? the thought of aj makes me nauseous . monica : then why did you have sex with him ? ! ellie : talk all you want , but even if i do n't call damian , he 's not gon na be away on quartermaine business forever . the father of your child will come home . maxie : do n't call him that . ellie : why , maxie ? that 's what he is . damian spinelli is the father of your child . you know it . i know it . and damian deserves to know it , too , not to mention dante and lulu . [ cell phone ringing ] ellie : that 's him , is n't it ? think about it , maxie . yes , you can put off this conversation for now , but you ca n't put it off indefinitely . [ ringing continues ] maxie : watch me . [ ringing stops ] ellie : i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . have a great day ! [ beep ] spinelli : [ sighs ] ellie , it -- it 's me . um , look , i know i was supposed to wait for your call , but i - i just wanted you to know that i spoke -- i spoke to maxie , and , um , she told me what happened . i 'm thrilled that everything is copacetic with the baby , but i ca n't -- i ca n't help but wonder ... when you asked me for help getting onto the hospital mainframe , was your intention all along to hack into maxie 's file ? because , if so ... i 'm a bit miffed . as you may recall , i clearly asked you to let that matter lie , and clearly , that was not an option for you , so i think we should discuss why . maxie : you do n't realize what this will do to dante and lulu after everything they 've been through trying to conceive -- to lose the baby now . ellie : they already lost it , maxie , on new year 's eve when you miscarried . and the baby that you 're carrying is n't theirs . maxie : it could be . it should be , and that 's the point . ellie : no . the point is you 're lying . and the supposed parents deserve to know that 's not their baby . maxie : why ruin their dreams when we do n't have to ? ellie : because it is wrong . maxie : dante and lulu want a child , and i 'm gon na give it to them . ellie : maxie , you are supposed to be their friend . maxie : i am . i love them like they were my family . and that 's not easy for me to say . i 'm doing this because i love them . you know , on new year 's eve , when i had that miscarriage , i thought it was over . [ chuckles ] the prospect of having to have the conversation with them -- `` um , i 'm sorry . i know you planned all your hopes and dreams on my uterus , but it seems it 's as messed up as i am . `` no . no . that -- that thought made me sick . and it made me do something colossally stupid . ellie : like sleep with my boyfriend ? maxie : but that mistake turned into a - a blessing , and i saw this perfect solution to a nightmare of a problem . ellie : maxie , look , i understand why your mind would go there . i - i truly do . breaking someone 's heart -- it 's a terrifying prospect , especially when that heart belongs to your best friend , but you have to understand that sometimes the right choices are the toughest ones . dante and lulu deserved to know the truth from the beginning . they still had other embryos . they -- they could have found another surrogate , and they could have been expecting a child right now . maxie : they -- they are expecting . ellie : a biological child . maxie : biology does not matter to dante and lulu . ellie : you are not , honestly , using that as a justification ! maxie : you know , if i have to tell dante and lulu the truth about this child , that means i 'm gon na have to tell spinelli , too . and you need to be honest with yourself . do you want that anymore than i do ? ellie : [ sighs ] milo : that 's it . i 'm going to look for lulu . max : turn around . whoa ! whoa , whoa , whoa . milo : why do you have to tell me what to do all the time ? max : 'cause i 'm older and bigger . milo : i could beat you in an arm wrestle any day of the week . max : oh , yeah ? yeah ? you want to put that to the test , little brother ? at least it 'll keep you from running out the door . milo : what 's so wrong with me looking out for a friend , max ? max : lulu 's not your friend . she 's the girl you 've been crushing on for years , who also happens to be married to the boss 's son . what do you think mr. c 's gon na do , huh , when he finds out you 've been hiding lulu from dante ? milo : nothing good . max : nothing good . so , sit your butt down and relax . here . take the peas . milo : edamame . max : why do you got to keep bringing her up ? lulu : that 's not fair . dante : what 's not fair ? lulu : i do n't remember the night we met , so you could be making this all up . dante : that 's true . guess you got to take my word for it . lulu : [ scoffs ] right here ? dante : right here . i mean , it was called something different back then . it was called jake 's . but that jukebox , four years ago . ask coleman . he was here that night . i was talking with him at the bar when you walked through that door . lulu : coleman . i am so glad you 're here . i am desperate . coleman : i 'm all yours . lulu : yeah ? coleman : yeah . lulu : um , i need you to have another karaoke night as soon as possible . coleman : sure , but , uh , you and the maxettes gon na sing again ? lulu : [ chuckles ] i do n't know . actually , this is about spinelli . coleman : god , was he great or what , huh ? did he send you over here ? lulu : no . coleman : oh . lulu : he wants to marry maxie , and he got her this ring , and she took it even though she 's nowhere near ready to marry him . coleman : ah , and you think if he 's obsessed about singing his heart out to her , he 'll stop obsessing about marrying her . lulu : yes . exactly . how did you know that ? [ chuckles ] coleman : that 's what joints like this are for . it 's all about love and the lack of it . dante : you walked over here to the jukebox . some creepy guy was hitting on you . i chased him off . lulu : are you sure that 's what i wanted ? dante : [ chuckles ] yeah . i 'm sure that 's what you wanted . you were picking out a song for your friend spinelli . dante : so , when 's karaoke night ? lulu : i do n't know . you 'll have to watch for signs . dante : is n't it great , being in the maxettes ? lulu : who are you ? dante : i 'm just the man of your dreams . lulu : [ laughs ] dante : so , who are the maxettes ? lulu : oh , it 's a karaoke thing . dante : who 's max ? lulu : my boyfriend . dante : [ chuckles ] liar . lulu : could be true . dante : you do care a lot about your friends . i like that . lulu : how do you know how i feel about my friends ? dante : well , let 's see . it 's all about spinelli , really , whoever he is . he wants to marry maxie , whoever she is -- wait . maxie and the maxettes , right ? lulu : who are you ? dante : what else ? spinelli gave maxie this amazing ring , which she took , but she does n't know that she wants to marry him , at which point , coleman figured that if he gets obsessed with singing about her , he 's gon na forget about marrying her , which is unlikely , by the way . lulu : i ... do n't know if that would be classified as listening or just plain eavesdropping . dante : that 's a little bit of both , actually . buy you a beer ? lulu : sure . why not ? dante : you , uh , shoot pool ? lulu : a little . now and then . dante : you were trying to get spinelli to stop obsessing over maxie . lulu : maxie -- she 's the one that 's -- dante : she 's pregnant with our baby . you remember that ? lulu : no . i mean , yes , but only because you told me . dante : right . you should , uh -- you should know that you 're really good with your friends -- loving , loyal . it 's kind of weird , actually . lulu : what is ? dante : well , that night , you were trying to help spinelli forget , and here i am trying to help you remember . max : i hate fighting , but you 've got to trust me on this . you know , it 's better if you just stay here and stay out of the way of ... idiot ! elizabeth : nikolas admitted he still has feelings for me . and it did n't end there . aj : where did it end ? elizabeth : we kissed . but i did n't let it go any farther . aj : you mind if i ask why not ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i 'm still trying to figure that out myself . partly because of lucky and the fact that i still feel guilty over what happened the last time nikolas and i got together ... and partly because of you . i kind of thought we had a nice thing going . and i would like to see what happens if you do . aj : yeah , i do . very much . look , i - i really appreciate you coming over here . i know that this could not have been easy for you . elizabeth : yeah , well , i figured if we have a chance at anything , we ca n't hide things from each other . carly : this is will go down as the worst mistake of my entire life . monica : it will be in plentiful company , that 's for sure . carly : ugh , i need an exorcism or lobotomy to get rid of the memory and the image in my -- ugh . monica : well , the image of you and my son in my house on my linens -- carly : okay , okay , okay ! enough , enough ! monica : i 'll tell you something . if you have destroyed the relationship with aj and elizabeth , so help me -- carly : what is wrong with you ? do n't you have any compassion for elizabeth ? i mean , at all ? she 's been through hell in her life , and aj -- he 's a walking disaster . monica : anybody is better than you . carly : well , then , you better not say a word . monica : oh , do you think i would be tempted to do otherwise ? this is one secret i would never tell . maxie : you think when spinelli finds out that i 'm carrying his child , that will not have a serious impact on your relationship -- probably not in a good way ? ellie : i 'll take my chances . maxie : for someone who 's so smart about molecules , you are crazy naive . when spinelli finds out i am the mother of his child , that will change everything . ellie : maybe . but maybe not . but , maxie , this is n't about me . it 's about damian 's right to know that that is his baby and dante and lulu 's right to know that it 's not theirs . lulu : so , what ? you 're just bailing on your story ? dante : well , it 's our story , actually . and i did n't think you 'd want to hear it . you want to play ? you 're actually pretty good . lulu : now , that does n't surprise me . move . dante : it really is like that first night all over again . you know , you have n't even told me your name yet . lulu : trixie . dante : nice to meet you , trix . i 'm thor . lulu : no , you 're not . my turn ? dante : yeah , go ahead . lulu : i 'm really angelyne . dante : mm . i 'm really biff -- biff beauregard . lulu : biff beauregard . [ clears throat ] okay . now you 've insulted me . tell me your real name . dante : no , you first . lulu : i 'm lulu . dante : so , lulu , do you , uh ... do you come here often ? lulu : oh , no . you did not just say , `` do you come here often ? `` dante : that 's when your brother ethan showed up and , uh , called me out on my lame line . lulu : i have a brother ethan ? dante : yeah . lulu : well , he was right . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : it 's a pretty lame line . dante : but it was a damn good time . lulu : trixie . dante : d - did something just happen ? i just -- it looked like you remembered something right now . milo : lulu , there you are . lulu : i ... dante : milo , please , not now . we 're in the middle of something . lulu : yeah , i 'm fine . i - i want to go . i want to go right now . dante : no , no , no , no , no . listen , listen , listen . wait . wait , please . do n't go . all right , now , okay , you remembered something . and do n't tell me you did n't , because i know your face . did you see what happened next ? your other brother lucky , he came in . and he and ethan -- they kicked the crap out of me . [ chuckles ] lulu : you probably deserved it . dante : but is that what you remembered ? milo : maybe you should back off a little . dante : i got the crap kicked out of me . i took a beating with a smile on my face , because i was n't giving up on you . not then and not now . lulu : i have to go . i have to go . let 's go . let 's go . maxie : i know this situation is complicated and messy . ellie : but ? maxie : sorry , the baby just moved . ellie : just -- just right now ? maxie : at first , it was like a flutter , but now it 's [ chuckling ] turned into this full - fledged roll . do you want to feel it ? here . ellie : okay . maxie : did you feel that ? ellie : oh , my god . [ sniffles ] yeah . that 's definite movement . i ca n't imagine what it 's like from the inside . maxie : this baby is real , ellie . i 'm not trying to be mean or deceitful . i ... honestly think that this will work . ellie : not for damian . maxie : yes . yes . even for spinelli . look , i - i know he wants kids , but on his own terms , not with me , not when i 'm not ready , and not when it 's gon na cost dante and lulu everything . they 're his friends , too . ellie : i do n't know , maxie . maxie : i think you do . spinelli will want to be a father , so keeping this quiet is what 's best for everyone -- dante , lulu , spinelli , you , and this baby -- but if you disagree with me , then , please , tell him .

ned : hey , you . alexis : hey ! hey , yourself ! hi ! oh , my gosh ! oh , i 'm so happy to see you . i heard you were in town . ned : yeah . alexis : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry about aj . ned : thanks . he was a real son of a bitch . but you know , still family . alexis : i 've missed that quartermaine sentimentality . ned : [ chuckles ] alexis : can you sit down for a minute ? ned : yeah . alexis : oh , good , good , good . ned : it 's ironic , actually . alexis : what is ? ned : the lengths i went to keeping junior out of elq when i should 've been focusing elsewhere . alexis : oh , dear . who 's giving you grief now ? ned : turns out there 's a new fox in the company hen house . [ scene_break ] [ intercom beeps ] woman : someone to see you , mr. spencer . luke : send him in . what the hell are you doing here ? julian : relax . i told your assistant that i 'm here on gallery business -- dropping off the receipt for that piece of art you bought . your cut . luke : so it is . julian : yeah , i figured you 'd want that here -- you know , since you could n't risk taking it with you when jordan was standing around . luke : all right . now ... let 's deal with ava . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , it 's me . i know you 're angry . and what i did was ... horrible and wrong , but i still love you . and i think , deep down , you love me , too . we need to discuss where we stand , so please ... give me a call . sonny . i do n't think you should be here . if julian sees you here -- sonny : forget julian . i want to know why carlos rivera confessed to a murder that i committed . [ scene_break ] carlos : wanted to say goodbye in person ? anna : i wanted to give you a final out . your arraignment is fast approaching , and i just wanted to make certain ... that you want to plead guilty to the murder of aj quartermaine . [ scene_break ] carly : this is insane . he confesses to a crime he did n't commit , and everyone 's eating it up . franco : you got that right . confessing to a crime he did n't commit is insane . it 's also genius . it 's like the perfect cover . carly : i just wish the cops knew what we knew -- that ava blackmailed carlos by threatening to hurt sabrina santiago and her baby . [ scene_break ] felix : hey , this is good . the little guy 's vitals are up . sabrina : by a fraction . felix : it 's a step in the right direction . sabrina : i know he 's not out of the woods -- not even close -- but ... there 's hope , huh ? felix : sometimes that 's enough . sabrina : thank you for being here with me through all of this . felix : where else would i be ? was patrick over the moon when he heard about this ? sabrina : [ scoffs ] he does n't even know yet . felix : really ? sabrina : yeah . he went to check on emma a while ago . he has n't been back yet .

[ scene_break ] felix : he really is the cutest thing . sabrina : is n't he ? even so tiny , i can tell he 's gon na be a heartbreaker . felix : hey , do you want me to wait with you until patrick gets back ? sabrina : you do n't mind ? felix : not at all . sabrina : thank you . felix : bri , i - i do n't mean to bring this up , but ... i mean , god knows you have enough on your plate . sabrina : what 's up ? felix : uh , now that things are going a little better here , i thought you 'd want to know . it 's carlos . sabrina : what about him ? felix : have a look . [ scene_break ] carlos : that ship has sailed , do n't you think ? i told you , i killed aj quartermaine . anna : you 're positive you do n't have anything you want to add to your statement ? carlos : what do you want from me , hmm ? you got your confession . anna : yeah , no . and i was very inclined to believe it . that is , until i happened upon the visitor 's log . mere moments before you changed your tune and confessed , you had a visit from ava . you want to tell me what that was about ? carlos : you told me if i told anyone you sent me to kill aj quartermaine , because he realized you killed connie falconeri , sabrina would pay the price . ava : do you grasp what i 'm saying ? i hope so , for sabrina 's sake . anything less than complete understanding could be fatal . carlos : you got it all wrong , commish . ava was here to tell me to keep my mouth shut . last thing she would want is for me to come forward . bad for business . anna : well , that 's it , then . take him away . [ scene_break ] carly : do you think we 're doing the right thing by keeping quiet ? franco : yeah , unless we want ava to go after the people we care about , it 's absolutely the right thing that we keep quiet . carly : how are we not any closer ? we still have no idea the secret that ava 's keeping . franco : okay . but we know now that whatever it was was important enough to ava to try and kill aj . carly : but everybody wanted to kill aj . [ cell phone rings ] franco : yeah , that 's probably true . you 're gon na answer that ? i thought we were having a meal together . carly : pcpd . franco : oh . carly : hello . anna : carly , it 's anna devane . carly : hello , commissioner . what can i do for you ? anna : you do n't happen to be with franco , do you , by any chance ? carly : yeah , he 's sitting right across from me , as a matter of fact . anna : good . and i need you both to come down to the station . carly : it 's not a very good time for us right now . anna : that 's not a request . get here now . [ scene_break ] alexis : luke spencer ? ned : the one and only . alexis : he 's working at elq ? ned : the mind reels . alexis : oh , my goodness . luke does n't do corporate . how big can a lone wolf be when he 's got human resources breathing down his neck ? ned : are you enjoying yourself ? alexis : little bit . so , who put him up to it ? your mother ? ned : no , no . it was entirely luke 's idea . apparently , he could n't stand the thought of being apart from his beloved fiancée for an entire work day . alexis : and the frequent multi - month sabbaticals are no problem . ned : my point exactly . it does n't add up . which is why i think he 's taking her for another ride -- to get her money . [ scene_break ] luke : last time we talked , you said that ava did n't know jordan was working for the organization , and when i questioned you about why all the caution around ava , you said that 's another story . so , what is the story ? julian : well , i just got confirmation . our suspicions about ava were right all along . she 's been feeding information to sonny about this organization , and she 's been doing it for months . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's been all over the news -- carlos rivera confessed to shooting aj . we both know that 's not what happened , so why would he do that ? ava : the cops had carlos dead to rights . there 's no way he was skating that attempted - murder charge . sonny : `` attempted . `` that 's not like the real thing . do you understand ? ava : well , still , either way , he was going to jail , probably for a long time . i simply convinced him to take one for the team . sonny : he 's not on my team ? ava : well , i am , as this clearly proves . sonny : so what did you say to him ? `` hey , there 's no point in two people spending life in prison . why do n't you be a sport and let 's make it one `` ? ava : something like that . not exactly , but ... sonny : hey , rivera could 've cut a deal . ava : well , he did n't . i convinced him this was the best outcome for everybody . sonny : even him ? 'cause you 're the one who always says that he 's not working for you , he 's working for julian , right ? ava : i 've known carlos for a very long time . do n't underestimate the power of friendship . sonny : well , if that 's the way you treat a friend ... ava : all right , enough . you ought to be thanking me . because of me and carlos , you 're in the clear , and what really happened to aj will stay buried forever . [ scene_break ] alexis : yes , it 's true . luke did marry your mother once for her money . ned : twice . alexis : oh . ned : well , the first one was technically a fraud , but the second one was legal but still a swindle . alexis : i 'm not arguing . i 'm just saying , it seems like this time , it might be a little different . ned : really ? how would you know ? alexis : because i have been living here for the last nine years , unlike you and ric . i do n't know which one of you is worse . you both keep saying -- ned : whoa , whoa , whoa ! stop , stop , stop . let 's roll that back . you do n't know who 's worse between me and ric lansing ? alexis : withdrawn . ned : thank you . alexis : my point is , is that i 've been here , i 've been around tracy and luke , and he actually seems to be in love with her . ned : oh . is that why they broke up not too long ago ? alexis : oh , that happens . ned : so you 're saying that 's normal . alexis : yeah . ned : is it also normal that he 's hitting on michael 's girlfriend ? [ scene_break ] julian : yeah , i just found out last night . luke : where does the intel come from ? julian : sonny 's prodigal son , morgan . he could n't wait to tell me what ava 's been up to . luke : i thought morgan was aligned with corinthos . julian : yeah , apparently not anymore . julian : kid seemed hell bent on trashing sonny and ava . luke : that 's funny . i thought the kid and ava were knocking boots . julian : yeah . except his were n't the only boots she was knocking . [ scene_break ] ava : besides , we have much more pressing matters to deal with than what happened to aj . look , how are we gon na handle morgan ? he -- he could do anything . he could lash out in any way , and he 's not returning my calls . have you heard from him ? sonny : that 's why i came by . i saw morgan at the metro court . ava : when ? sonny : the night you and i , uh ... he -- he was gon na tell olivia everything . ava : oh , god . sonny : i managed to stop him . ava : well , i do n't know how you did that -- sonny : but i did n't stop him from blowing the whistle to your brother . anna : thank you . sonny : sure . [ scene_break ] anna : good . ah . thank you for getting here so quickly . franco : the way i heard it , it was n't exactly a request , was it ? carly : yeah . what 's going on ? anna : well , as you know , carlos rivera confessed to shooting aj . carly : yeah , we know . anna : and as i was putting together the paperwork for the d.a . , i could n't help remembering the two of you wanted to tell me something about ava . you were so eager to share it . i just wondered if it had anything to do with this case . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , would it make it easier if i went and grabbed us a bag of cheesy puffs to talk about this ? patrick : i told you to stop eating those . sam : i ca n't quit them . i love them . i know you do , too . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] sam : come on . you were so wonderful with me when danny was in the hospital , and not just that -- when i thought i was losing him . and then you helped me get over my fear of moving on from jason . please ... let me do this for you . i owe you this much . talk to me . patrick : yes , you need to save jason 's life , and -- and he needs your help , but , robin , so do we . it 's robin . sam : okay . patrick : i think my marriage is over . sam : your marriage is over ? since when ? patrick : let 's see . uh ... phone call ended probably about half - hour ago . sam : you broke up over the phone ? patrick : yes , i had to , because she 's refusing to come home . sam : does she know about the accident , the baby ? patrick : yes . and i told her it 's really important and -- and that i understood that her work is important , but she still ... sam : but she would n't even budge ? patrick : i know that she 's really worried about emma , and in all fairness , i think that she wants to , but she 's still -- she says that she ca n't . sam : why ? patrick ... patrick : i do n't know , sam . i 'm so confused . she just keeps saying that her work is at a critical stage . sam : okay . well , ca n't she take a couple of weeks off and come here and make sure everything 's okay ? patrick : no , apparently , she ca n't , and i am just stuck in the middle , not knowing if or when she 's gon na come home , and it 's not fair to me , and it 's not fair to emma . sam : okay . well , did you guys discuss going with her ? patrick : that 's not an option . sam : why not ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : carlos claims he tried robbing the quartermaines to try to -- to support me and the baby ? felix : yeah , that part grabbed me , too . sabrina : but this does n't make any sense . i mean , none of it does . felix : i do n't know . you know , aj showing up at ava 's , recognizing carlos ' voice ? sabrina : carlos did n't kill aj quartermaine . he swore to me . felix : did you really think he 'd admit it ? sabrina : well , he admitted to the break - in . and he swore to me , on his love for me and the baby , that he did n't shoot aj . felix : bri , the guy 's a criminal . he lies as easily as he breathes . sabrina : no , not to me . felix : why would he confess if he did n't do it ? [ scene_break ] patrick : sam , it 's just -- it 's complicated . long story short , she could n't have us there . and she 's -- she 's my wife and she 's the mother of my daughter , and -- and i need all of her . sam : i know . of course , you do . patrick : and if i ca n't have that in a time like this , then i need to end it , for both of us . sam : how 'd you leave it ? patrick : i told her that if she 's not gon na be here in a time like this then to not bother coming home at all . sam : oh , patrick , listen . sometimes we say things in the heat of the moment -- patrick : no , sam , i do n't think i 'm gon na want to take this back , because i told her that i need her , and she knows that , and she still refuses to come home . sam : look , i think maybe if you take a couple days , chill out , maybe you 're gon na feel differently in a little bit . just ... patrick : i do n't think so . sam : oh . i 'm so sorry . patrick : sam , stop . please stop . you 're just the last person that i need to be comforted by right now . [ scene_break ] anna : you do remember , do n't you ? being very eager to share something with me about ava ? carly : it was the vandalism charges . anna : what about them ? carly : well , franco told me that ava was the one who put him up to destroying the room , and we talked about it . remember ? and we thought that you should know . anna : i thought you dropped those charges . carly : i did . anna : well , it 's a moot point , then , unless you want to reinstate the complaint . carly : no . no , i do n't . anna : yeah , okay . good . all right , then . sorry for wasting your time . oh . you know what ? franco : oh , of course . since you 're both here , you do n't happen to know what happened to aj 's phone after he died , do you ? carly : no . why ? anna : well , because mr. rivera claims that right before he shot him , aj was trying to call 911 , but 911 's logs say , they indicate that the call never came through . however , if aj was punching in those numbers , it would be recorded on his phone . so i wanted to verify that story , but michael says the phone 's missing , so i just wondered ... carly : no . did you check and see if he has the `` find my phone `` app ? anna : i did . he does . i do n't have the password , though . carly : oh . franco : i do . [ scene_break ] ava : what are you talking about ? what does julian know ? sonny : i spoke to alexis last night . she was with your brother when morgan showed up . julian knows that you 're feeding me information . ava : no . sonny : [ chuckles ] ava : no , i mean , he 's been suspicious , of course , but i 've been able to head him off at every pass . sonny : they 're not suspicious anymore . ava : julian knows . are you sure ? sonny : yes , he does . and according to alexis , he 's pissed . [ scene_break ] luke : so , who 's the lucky stiff shtupping your sister ? julian : i 'm sorry . did i bury the lead ? i just told you that ava 's been feeding information to sonny . luke : i heard that . julian : uh - huh . and this does n't concern you ? luke : obviously . it 's a major problem . now we know how sonny keeps getting the upper hand on us -- making the safe houses , finding out that you have a backer . julian : yeah . so now that we have an explanation , what do you want to do about it ? [ scene_break ] alexis : kiki ? ned : mm - hmm . that 's what she and morgan told me . apparently , he 's getting a little handsy with her behind my mother 's back . alexis : `` handsy `` ? how ? ned : i have to define `` handsy `` for you ? alexis : ew ! gross ! my brain is short - circuiting . ned : yeah , welcome to the club . alexis : luke and kiki ? ick ! are you sure morgan and kiki are n't exaggerating this ? you know , morgan is a little questionable with his honesty , and then kiki can be somewhat unreliable . ned : well , they seemed sincere to me . so , you know , i asked them to prove it , so ... we set luke up . you know , to test him . alexis : and he passed your test ? ned : this time . what ? alexis : no . nothing . ned : alexis ? alexis : i 'm just wondering if maybe luke is n't the problem and you are being overprotective of your mother ? ned : i suppose anything 's possible . it 's just ... something 's off . alexis : with luke ? ned : i mean , i know he 's a scoundrel but a pig ? alexis : alleged pig . ned : here we go . alexis : well , it has n't been proven . ned : yet . alexis : i do n't want to talk about tracy and luke anymore and their love life . ned : gladly . alexis : i want to talk about you and yours . or lack thereof . ned : excuse me . i do very well for myself , thank you very much . alexis : jax is worried that you 're not getting out enough . ned : ah .

[ scene_break ] ava : i do n't understand . if julian has known all of this since last night , then why ... the phone calls . he 's -- he 's been leaving me cryptic messages . but why would n't he confront me in person ? sonny : probably 'cause he had to run it by his boss . [ scene_break ] luke : we are n't gon na do anything about it , julian . you are . you 're gon na kill your sister . [ scene_break ] ned : julian jerome . the gangster . alexis : well , technically , he 's a publisher . ned : oh , yes . and technically , sonny built an empire out of arabica beans . alexis : should i settle in for the lecture ? ned : at the risk of pointing out the obvious , dating criminals -- specifically gangsters -- is not a new experience for you . but in the past , has it turned out well ? alexis : no . i 'm a hypocrite . i admit it , and i have once again compromised myself for a guy . ned : sounds like you really like him . alexis : i do . he 's really cute , and he 's -- he 's very smart and charming and ... he 's really sexy . ned : [ chuckles ] no need to go overboard . alexis : [ breathes deeply ] did i mention that he 's sam 's father ? yeah , h - he 's sam 's father . so , yeah , we have a daughter and a grandchild . that 's actually why i 'm really worried about him . ned : why ? alexis : i 'm worried about what he 's gon na do to his sister . [ scene_break ] julian : you want me to kill my own sister ? luke : was i not clear ? julian : and you do n't think that 's a little extreme ? luke : what do you think is the appropriate course of action ? julian : we 'll ice her out . now that we have that information , she ca n't hurt us anymore . luke : in other words , just let her get away with it . julian : that 's not what i 'm saying . luke : she may have information that she has n't yet passed on to corinthos . do n't waste time , julian . julian : i still do n't think that our only option here is murder . luke : i will not look weak , especially in front of corinthos . we take this lying down , he 'll take it as encouragement to take action against us . ava needs to die . do you have a problem with that ? julian : yeah . i do . [ scene_break ] alexis : ava 's been leaking information to sonny . ned : about their organization . alexis : well , her former organization , and julian did n't know about it . ned : but now he does . and you 're afraid that he 's gon na do what gangsters do and make her ... sleep with the fishes ? [ chuckles ] sorry . i could n't help myself . alexis : all right . he 's livid . julian is livid , and it 's understandable , but i think i calmed him down and got him not to do something that we 'll both regret . ned : do you think you got through to him ? alexis : no . yes . maybe . i -- i do n't know . i hope so . otherwise , it 's really bad news for ava . [ scene_break ] sonny : we got to play this very carefully 'cause we do n't know who julian answers to . luke spencer has his money on my brother , but i do n't think -- ava : you do n't think so ? sonny : no . no , i do n't . not right now , no . ava : well , whoever it is will not be pleased that i 've taken your side . what should i do ? sonny : only thing you can do . get the hell out of dodge . [ scene_break ] carly : you have aj 's password ? anna : i take it that he did n't just give it to you . franco : no , but i have it . i have all of his passwords . well , not all of them -- one . but he seems to use the same one over and over again , and it 's on everything -- it 's on his wi - fi , his bank accounts , twitter . carly : how did you get it ? franco : i made it my business to get all of the quartermaines passwords when i was living at the mansion trying to steal the family business . you do n't remember that ? anna : oh . okay . come here , please , with me . what 's the password ? oh , where 's my glasses ? franco : what 's the password ? pickle - lila -- p - i - c - k - l - e - l - i - l - a . anna : no , no , no , i -- franco : good for you . anna : oh , yeah . it worked . franco : of course , it did . you 're welcome . anna : well , it ... well , it says that -- it says that the battery on the phone died several weeks ago . franco : aj outlived his phone . that 's just sad . anna : but it did give the last destination . carly : where ? anna : general hospital .

[ scene_break ] michael : could you stand there and tell me that if this were sam , you would n't do everything you could to find her ? yes , sabrina was stupid . she ran off with her child 's father . she made herself either an accessory , or she made herself a hostage . either way , she has a child to care for and no one to help her . i have to do something . jason : michael . carlos is n't gon na tell you where sabrina is . he 's using her as leverage , and he 's leaving you twisted in the wind , man . he hates you , because you 're your father 's son , and he hates sonny . so why do n't you go back inside , you look him in the eye , and you tell him to go to hell ? and then we 're gon na get the hell out of here , okay ? [ scene_break ] hale : i 've told the police everything i know , so leave me alone . alexis : i just read the statement , and i have a couple of questions . that 's all . hale : then you can ask me when you depose me , like you said you would . alexis : but i 'm telling you it would be so much easier to do it now . just tell me what happened . we both want to do the right thing . i want to give my client the best defense that i can . hale : [ scoffs ] your client does n't deserve the best defense . he 's guilty . he did it , and i saw it . and that 's all i 'm gon na say until my deposition . alexis : okay . just five minutes . hale : fi -- for the last time , lady , leave me alone . anna : what was that all about ? alexis : i really ca n't discuss that with you . [ scene_break ] jordan : i need to see a psychiatrist ? andré : you insist you and anna are friends . jordan : we are friends . andré : well , you say that you 're not jealous of her , but every time you see me with her , you flip out . jordan : flip out ? i 'm sorry . is that a diagnosis -- a professional diagnosis ? andré : no , it 's a comment on your behavior . jordan : excuse me , what about your behavior ? for two people who are just friends , you and anna spend a hell of a lot of time in intense , whispered conversations or who the hell knows what else ? andré : jordan , i do care about anna , but it 's you that i 'm interested in . you 've walked in on a couple of conversations between us and one hug . nothing intimate or inappropriate . so the fact that you keep jumping to that conclusion makes me think you 're projecting . jordan : projecting what ? andré : if you step back , it makes sense , based upon what you told me about your marriage . you assume that i 'm cheating on you because you cheated on your husband . [ jordan smacks him hard ] andré : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] hayden : only out for yourself , right ? nikolas : well , i have to make sure that my finances are secure . i ca n't afford to lose any more of spencer 's inheritance . hayden : speaking of , um , family , we should discuss our future . nikolas : what about it ? hayden : i think it 's time to cut our losses . i do n't think we should be married anymore . nikolas : i see . hayden : try not to look too heartbroken . nikolas : just trying to process it all . hayden : it 's for the best . i mean , for a minute there , i let myself hope that we could make a go of it , really build a life together , but we both know that ship has sailed . it 's time for us to go our separate ways . [ scene_break ] mac : how does it feel to be a free woman ? anna : oh , my goodness . i am so relieved . [ sighs ] thank you , really . i am so grateful to you and felicia for sending me a surprisingly capable lawyer . mac : well , you know , credit to felicia . i wanted to send diane miller , but she said baldwin had a personal stake in it , that he wanted to prove himself to you and he wanted to score a win against the current da . anna : well , she was right because it astonishes me to say this -- scott did very well . mac : [ chuckles ] griffin : i am just very glad to see you outside of that cell . anna : not as glad as i am . i could n't spend another moment in there . certainly not today , anyway . griffin : why ? what 's -- what 's today ? anna : it 's the anniversary of your father 's death today . [ scene_break ] alexis : we need to talk . julian : hey . what 's going on ? alexis : there 's difficulty with carlos ' defense . julian : okay . i thought we were supposed to avoid discussing the case . alexis : i ca n't speak to you about the details , but i can tell you that this witness that came forward -- he checks out . his statement matches sabrina 's statement . so it magnifies the complication . i mean , this witness saw carlos ambush and kill duke . so the existence of this witness makes sabrina 's statement admissible . julian : why is that ? alexis : it corroborates the witness ' statement . there is no chance that i can get this case dismissed . and if it goes to trial , carlos is getting convicted . so i ca n't , as his attorney , advise him not to take the deal that hornsby is offering . julian : hmm . so then you have to advise carlos to take the deal that implicates me in the murder of duke lavery . [ scene_break ] michael : i appreciate you coming down here and caring enough to intervene , and i heard what you said . you do n't have to worry about me . jason : well , michael , i do n't have a choice but to worry about you , because i care about you . and i do n't want to hear about you getting hurt . michael : i know what i 'm doing . jason : okay . look , i said my piece . you 're a smart man . i 'm sure you 're gon na make the right decision . so , if you need anything -- michael : i know where to find you . jason : all right , good luck . carlos : amigo , i was getting worried . so , do we have a deal ?

[ knock on door ] andré : we 're not done . jordan : oh , hell , yes , we are . andré : no . there 's something i want you to know , and i 'm not leaving until i say it . jordan : let 's get this over with . andré : jordan , first off -- jordan : no , first off , who the hell do you think you are ? i know the mistakes that i made in my marriage . i do n't need you flipping them over and turning them against me . andré : you 're right . jordan : and furthermore , i -- what ? andré : you 're right . i never should have accused you of projecting . that was out of line . as soon as i said it , i realized i was analyzing you , and for that , i apologize . but you 've clearly misunderstood my actions . jordan : misunderstood how ? andré : for some reason , you believe that i 'm interested in anna . jordan : well , maybe all of those times that i 've seen you two with your heads together -- andré : if i wanted to date anna , i would never have asked you out . i do n't pursue a woman unless i want her ... and only her . i can assure you i am very , very interested in you . jordan : prove it . [ scene_break ] nikolas : we were in a cooling - off period . hayden : no , we 're in limbo . we resent each other . you do n't want me in your home , and i do n't want to be there . so instead of dragging out the mutual suffering , i think we should just do ourselves a favor and end it , quick and simple , and invoke the prenup . nikolas : [ chuckles ] now i see where you 're heading with this . hayden : per our agreement , should we divorce for any reason , i 'm entitled to $ 5 million . i 've consulted a lawyer , not diane , and i 've been assured that the prenup is binding . nikolas : i 'm more concerned with you possessing certain knowledge that is quite damaging to me . hayden : [ chuckles ] that 's right . that you tried to kill me and i have evidence to prove it . but do n't worry . i have no intention of bringing charges against you . nikolas : well , maybe not at the moment , but what about the future ? i mean , once you most certainly burn through my $ 5 million , who 's to say you wo n't try and blackmail me for more ? or worse yet , destroy my life by turning me over to the authorities ? hayden : i guess we 'll just have to wait and see . [ scene_break ] anna : he 's lovely , mac , is n't he ? i 'm glad you had a chance to talk to him . griffin : yeah , he did his , um -- his best to explain the intricacies of the extended scorpio clan and how you and my father fit in . and my overall impression is that ... he thought the world of you . he was very fond of my father . anna : yeah , duke had a lot of friends here . and when he came back after a lot of years , you know , he started to rebuild his life . and for a period there , it seemed that things were gon na work out . you know , we 'd get settled and make peace , but little by little , it all just fell apart , you know ? and then when we got our priorities straight , we were going to leave town together . oh , it was already too late . griffin : i - i ca n't believe i did n't realize today was the anniversary of his death . anna : oh . yeah . i knew it was getting close , because the days are longer . the night air is warmer . there was such a lovely breeze coming off the water that night . i was waiting for him on the harbor . a year ago . a year ago . [ sighs ] it was n't quite humid yet . it was just a gorgeous , clear , quiet night . i could hear the bells of the st. mark 's church ... strike midnight , and then ... griffin : i 'm so sorry . anna : no . you know , you two would have got on amazingly well . you know that ? you would because you both have the same outlook on life . you 're just ... you can turn an ordinary day into something really beautiful . i sense that about you . i wish you could have known my father . i really do . griffin : i was lucky enough to meet you and so many of his friends . you have -- you have given me a real sense of who he was . anna : i miss him every day . i guess i always will . and i 'm working my way through that now . griffin : and what does that look like ? anna : i keep talking about it . it 's -- it 's justice , you know ? carlos has been offered a deal to testify , and they 'll reduce his sentence . it means that he wo n't spend his entire life in prison , like he deserves , but it 's a compromise that i 'm willing to take , because it does mean that the man who actually should pay for this ... will . griffin : i know this is very important to you . anna : it should be important to you , too . it should be because julian hated duke for decades . he did everything he could to destroy his life . and he undermined every time duke tried to go legit or get out from under the mob . and then when duke was finally walking away , god , that 's when julian ordered his death . [ scene_break ] julian : is n't there a way to undermine this witness , destroy his credibility ? alexis : i already tried to talk to him . julian : at the police station ? alexis : no , at the floating rib . i saw him there and i recognized his -- his picture from the photo files , and i asked him if he would talk to me about the case . julian : and ? alexis : and he ran like a bat out of hell . julian : okay , so we go to plan `` b. `` you dig up everything you can on this guy , and you destroy his credibility on the stand . alexis : you 're not listening to me . i 'm trying to tell you that i do n't think that i can win this case . julian : i do n't buy that . not only are you a brilliant lawyer , but you can outmaneuver hornsby in court . alexis : all the motivation in the world is n't going to outweigh a credible witness . julian : trust me . i know that this witness is not gon na be a problem for you . i have complete faith that everything is gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] sam : you know , i think we need a vacation . something a little bit more comfortable than the barn . not that i 'm complaining 'cause i really enjoy that . jason : okay . where do you want to go ? sam : um ... the ocean . jason : the ocean ? sam : yeah . jason : any ocean ? you got one picked out ? sam : i mean , you can pick . i used to -- i used to love hawaii . jason : used to ? you do n't anymore ? who does n't love hawaii ? sam : i mean , there -- there were a few bad things that happened there . jason : ah , well ... sam : yeah . jason : ... hey , look , a place to stop . if you 'd like to tell me about these things , i can sit here on this bench while you pontificate . sam : you know , normally i would take you up on that , and i would tell you all about everything that ever happened in hawaii , but i 'm not gon na do that , because i do n't want to talk about anything sad . i just want to think about us going on vacation and being on a beach together -- you , me , and danny experiencing something new . jason : that sounds very cool . does danny like the beach ? sam : does he like the beach ? yes . he loves -- he loves the beach . he loves the water . i had him in swim classes when he was really young . i do n't think i can remember a time when he did n't like water . so , yes , to answer your question , he absolutely loves the beach . jason : well , perfect . so where should we take our future little olympian ? should we take him to , like , one of those big resorts where , you know , they have the big slides ? sam : no ! stop ! yuck . you 're kidding , right ? jason : of course , i 'm kidding . i was just checking 'cause , you know , you look like you like slides . sam : [ laughing ] no . no , i was thinking maybe a little place , like a cottage , where the beach is outside . we can tuck danny in at night and , i do n't know , look at the stars and snuggle . jason : you want to go under the stars and snuggle ? sam : mm - hmm . jason : okay , well , then , let 's do it . okay .

[ scene_break ] carly : so , what did the lab say ? sonny : well , the prescription is lithium . given the date that the prescription was filled and assuming that morgan was on schedule , all the pills in the bottle were in the right number . carly : so , morgan was taking the right medication , and he was taking it as prescribed . sonny : h - his death had nothing to do with the pills . and , you know , i do n't -- i do n't know what else to say here , but it 's just another dead end . you know what i mean ? carly : okay , well , we 're never gon na find out why those pills were n't working for morgan , okay ? we 're never gon na find out why he started to spiral out of control when he was doing so well . morgan died because of a terrible chain of events , okay ? he was manic , he was upset over kiki , he started drinking , and then the bartender took his keys . and then he stole the wrong car -- one that olivia jerome wired to explode . if one of those things did n't happen , if one of the links in the chain were missing , our son would still be alive . i just ca n't , um ... sonny : listen , i know you had a lot of questions , so i made a copy of the lab report . carly : thank you . sonny : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] carly : i got to take this . sonny : who is it ? carly : lawyer . hello ? no , this is not a good time . oh , okay . all right , i 'll be there . thank you . all right , well , you 're probably gon na get the same call from diane . the lawyers want us to meet tomorrow and talk about a division of assets . sonny : carly , i hate lawyers . ca n't we just ... do this between us ? it 's not like we 're hurting for money . we can take out whatever we brought into the marriage . you can -- you can have the house , the hotel , i 'll take what 's mine . carly : i already have what 's yours , and i plan on keeping it . sonny : i 'm looking at the facts . i did n't sleep with nelle . you definitely slept with jax . i was n't unfaithful to you . you were unfaithful to me . i do n't want to bring that up in -- in the divorce , but if i have to ... carly : you can bring up whatever you want . everything you own is mine . i own the coffee business , the warehouses , pozzulo 's , and perks -- everything . even the big , gray house on the lake is mine . i mean , max and all the boys -- they 're guarding everything that 's mine . you signed it over to me right before morgan 's funeral . sonny : i thought i was going to prison . i - i signed over my assets to protect you and the kids . i ca n't believe you 're gon na hold me to that . carly : that 's great . that makes us even , because i ca n't believe you had jax arrested . sonny : [ laughs ] carly : then after the charges were dropped , you had jax deported . sonny : he blew up our marriage , carly . carly : what marriage ? that 's what you said to me . you said we did n't have a marriage , sonny . then you gave me an ultimatum . then you told me we were through . sonny : and then it took you , what , not even 24 hours to go running to him . josslyn : leave my mother alone ! sonny : i 'm sorry . i - i - i ... josslyn : i do n't forgive you . how 's that ? i do n't forgive you for having my dad arrested . i do n't forgive you for making him leave this country . [ voice breaking ] i do n't forgive you for hurting my mother . i ca n't wait for her to divorce you . carly : okay , baby , that is enough , all right ? it 's enough . josslyn : no . do n't do what you always do -- tell me to forgive him for morgan 's sake . i bet morgan would n't forgive you , either . sonny : maybe not . [ scene_break ] scott : i 'm saying this not only as your lawyer , but as your friend . you just need to relax and enjoy your newfound tranquility . ava : scott ... have we become friends ? scott : of course , we 're friends . if i was just your lawyer , i 'd take your money . ava : yeah , but no . all i want you to do is review and reaffirm the original decision granting me custody . scott : yeah , but you -- you have misread all of this , because sonny and carly will always be loyal to each other . you understand that ? especially when it comes to their kids . i mean , they may seem like they want to kill each other , but when kids are involved , they put up a united front . ava : i have to do something . this -- this might be my best chance to get avery back . scott : do nothing . it 's your best chance to stay alive . if sonny and carly found out that you had anything to do with morgan 's death , they would squash you like a cockroach . there would be nothing left on the pavement -- a little stain . so , you need to stay away from anything to do with kids and their family . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] elizabeth : hey , come on in . thanks for getting here so quickly . sam : yeah , of course . fortunately , kristina was able to come right over and babysit . jason : and i think it 's important that we all try to figure out what 's going on with jake . elizabeth : i agree . so does franco . jason : okay , so we found this in helena 's book . where did this come from ? sam : i accidentally spilled some tequila on it , and the pages were stuck together . franco : it 's called a chimera . jason : yeah , i know . does anybody know the significance ? elizabeth : we 're not sure , but it 's obviously important to jake .

[ boat engine idling ] anna : [ groans ] oh , man . i forgot about my ankle . valentin : okay , listen -- i 'll take you to the doctor . anna : no , i do n't want to go to the doctor . it 's just a sprain . i - i 'll put some more ice on it when i get home . valentin : well , i 'm not gon na let you limp home , so why do n't i drive you ?

[ scene_break ] carly : hey , i want you to take a deep breath , and i want you to count to 10 , okay ? josslyn : okay . and then i want you to listen to me . my divorce from sonny has nothing to do with you . it has nothing to do with you . sonny and i have a long , difficult history , okay ? we do . and sometimes we bring out the best in each other , and unfortunately , sometimes we bring out the worst . and right now , that 's what you 're seeing , okay ? you 're seeing the worst . but there 's one thing sonny and i agree on , and that 's how much we love you kids . baby , what sonny did he did for your father , okay ? and it does n't excuse it , okay ? i know it does n't make it right . but i know sonny does n't want you hurt in all this , and i do n't , either . josslyn : too late . carly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : scotch , straight .

[ scene_break ] carly : why do n't you go stay with your dad for a while ? josslyn : you mean ... leave you ? carly : just for a couple months , that 's all . josslyn : you want me out of town when the divorce is happening . carly : i just want it to be an option for you . i know your dad would love to see you , and i do n't know , i think maybe you could use a little distance . josslyn : no . i mean , i do n't want you to be alone when there 's nobody on your side . carly : i have michael on my side .

[ scene_break ] franco : the kind of detail that jake put into that drawing -- it 's pretty clear that -- that he 's memorized it , right ? that he 's seen it somewhere before . elizabeth : so , did he see it on cassadine island ? jason : that would be the obvious conclusion , but , uh , helena 's all about misdirection , so maybe this chimera has nothing to do with the island whatsoever . sam : look , we 're all worried about jake , right ? we all want answers , but considering what we have to go with , maybe we need to take a little break . elizabeth : yeah . i agree . let 's -- let 's get a good night 's sleep , and maybe this will all make sense in the morning . jason : yeah , maybe . do you mind if i take that with me ? elizabeth : no , take it . jason : maybe something will pop out at us that we have n't seen yet . elizabeth : and we 'll keep working on this picture , but i do n't think any of us should question jake . it 'll only shut him down . jason : i agree . hey , listen , franco , whether i like it or not , jake seems to think he has a connection with you . franco : he has for a long time now . jason : do the right thing . franco : what was that all about ?

[ mike chuckles ] dillon : what ? mike : either you are wise beyond your years or i am very slow on the uptake , because it took me a heck of a long time to get to that same conclusion . listen , sonny 's life is his own and i ca n't make his decisions and i ca n't try to stop him from being hell - bent on hurting himself and everyone around him . all i can do is stay out of his way . and maybe that 's all you can do for your mother . [ dillon sighs ] dillon : the thing about my mom is deep down -- deep , deep , deep , deep down , she 's got some good in her , you know ? but she 's just so focused on being strong all the time that it -- it twisted her or something . mike : you know , i never would 've believed that tracy quartermaine and my son have a single thing in common , and it turns out that they have two . they both need to be strong no matter what , and they both have people who love them anyway .

[ scene_break ] sam : do you think i 'm trash ? jason : what ? sam : because carly and a lot of other people seem to think so . jason : well , obviously , i mean , carly ca n't stand you , and she 's very good at figuring . what does any of this have to do with telling sonny about the baby , sam ? sam : you can -- you can do something wrong , something you regret , and still love someone . you can be -- you can be a liar and a hustler -- you can be trash -- but it does n't mean that you do n't feel . jason : you 're not trash . sonny likes you a lot . sam : no , sonny likes that we have fun together . he likes what he knows . sonny might not like the truth very much at all . and i just -- i ca n't risk telling him right now . jason : you have to .

[ scene_break ] claire : you promised me that you would help me bring sonny corinthos down when you knew all along that michael killed claudia and sonny is innocent ? jax : well , sonny 's far from innocent . he has a lifetime of crimes to pay for . claire : i do n't have a lifetime to prosecute cases . you understand ? i can only deal with the case that 's right in front of me . and you knew from the start that this case was unfounded . you misled me and my superiors , jax . it 's totally against the law . do you realize that ? especially when a murder is involved . jax : all right , let 's look at it this way . sonny deserves to go to prison . right ? can we just go with that ? claire : you misrepresented the situation from the word `` go ! `` if this case tanks my career , i promise you , you are going down with me .

[ sighs ] there 's no way dante would give up michael . molly : did n't dante trick you into telling him that michael was hiding at the copa del oro ? morgan : i need you to take me to the courthouse . i need to ask dante to his face why he would give up our brother . [ scene_break ] lulu : i happened to stumble onto michael in dante 's loft . he 'd already confessed . he saved the shirt as evidence . this proves that he wanted to tell the truth . carly : it proves how torn up he is inside . he needed your help . you knew what it would do to michael if the truth came out ! lulu : michael does n't want you and sonny covering for him . he wants to take responsibility for his actions . carly : michael is vulnerable . he 's impulsive . and he does n't understand the long - term implications . you do ! you know what he 's been through . you were there when he woke up from the coma , lulu . lulu : i 'm respecting what michael wants . carly : no , you are trying to rationalize . you 're telling yourself anything to justify you choosing dante over your family . michael needed you , and you threw him under the bus . lulu : yeah , i believe in dante . i 'm on his side . i am not apologizing for that . carly : and you 're a selfish bitch . [ scene_break ] dante : michael will do anything and everything to impress you , but he feels guilty about what he did to claudia . that 's why he needed to confess . sonny : you could have protected him . instead , you turn him in . dante : it explains everything he did -- the drunk driving , the outbursts , the getting in trouble . he was carrying around a lot of guilt . sonny : well , you know why ? because he got shot in the head , put into a coma , when claudia took out a hit on me . dante : yeah . and you certainly did n't help when you destroyed all the evidence . sonny : he saved his mother and his baby sister . he deserved to be protected , dante . dante : he still does . he needs to tell the truth , get some help , and then move on . sonny : you think that 's gon na happen ? dante : yeah , i do , absolutely . i think it 's gon na happen . that 's why i stepped up -- sonny : you did n't step up ! you did n't step up ! you turned him in to the cops ! do n't act like you did a good thing here ! dante : if you were acquitted , michael would see that laws do n't apply to you or him . he 'd want to be a part of the mob more than ever . if you were convicted , michael would feel guilty and blame himself , and he confessed regardless . sonny : i never would have allowed that to happen . dante : it 's not about you , sonny . it 's about michael . he needs to own up to what he did . okay ? he 'll get probation . he 'll get a suspended sentence -- maybe some court - ordered counseling , which is what he desperately needs . sonny : you 're seeing what you want to see and ignoring the reality . dante : no . i want michael to have a good life , as far away from you as possible . [ scene_break ] jax : you said you wanted to take down sonny at any cost . now , you still have the chance . you better start thinking like a lawyer . claire : heh . i 'm gon na pretend not to notice how patronizing that is . believe me , pal , the last thing you want is me thinking like a lawyer . i 'm a fed , remember ? i can slap federal charges on you . i can get you prison time , any kind of fine , not to mention the irs . they really do n't like you corporate- raider types . jax : are you done ? do you think the judge believed carly when she said that sonny killed claudia and that michael was just the witness ? claire : assuming the police can even find michael . if michael 's story matches carly 's , then we might have a chance . dante will be discredited , and the judge might be able to turn over the case back to the jury . jax : okay . well , good . claire : yes . but if michael killed claudia and he confesses to that , then all bets are off . and whatever happens to michael will be up to the judge . [ scene_break ] johnny : you know , it 's all so clear now . dante 's been protecting sonny this entire time . he swore up and down that sonny did n't shoot her . he put off finding michael for as long as humanly possible because he figured that michael could prove that sonny killed claudia . but now that he knows that it was michael , well , he 's selling out his own brother to protect sonny again . olivia : dante hates sonny . johnny : really ? then why is he doing everything he possibly can to keep sonny out of jail ? i mean , am i missing something here ? what is it about sonny corinthos that 's got people lining up down the block to protect him ? he 's a thug . he 's rude . he 's disrespectful . and i know he did n't swing that ax handle , but he is responsible for what happened to claudia . olivia : sonny did n't kill your sister . michael did . dante is a cop . it 's his responsibility to come forward with the truth . that 's how i raised him , and i 'm proud of my son for that . johnny : well , you 're missing one really important element here -- olivia : and what would that be ? johnny : that sooner or later , jason 's gon na try and kill dante for this . [ scene_break ] jason : did you know dante was gon na turn you in ? michael : no . no , he had his chance when he brought me back , and i thought we were going to the pcpd to confess . then he was waiting for the forensics to come back , and then i do n't know . i -- i took off . jason , if dad was found guilty , i was gon na confess . if he got self - defense , i thought it would all be over . jason : okay . it -- it still could . does anybody know that you found michael ? lucky : i ca n't just act like dante did n't tell the court that michael did it . you understand what i 'm saying ? jason : lucky , please . lucky : stop living his life for him ! it 's over ! jason : all you got ta do is turn your head for 30 seconds . lucky : i 'm not doing it . i 'm not doing it this time . you 're coming with me . jason : okay . just ... do n't say anything to anybody . you just wait for diane . [ cell phone rings ] diane : diane . jason : diane , look , just ... do n't react . just go to pcpd . diane : okay . jason : lucky 's bringing michael in right now . just do everything you can to keep that kid quiet . [ scene_break ] olivia : you ca n't just assume that jason can kill my son or anybody else . the guy is n't god . johnny : jason loves michael like he 's one of his own . he feels responsible for anything bad that 's ever happened to that kid . olivia : yeah , well , i know how he feels . johnny : if anything adverse happens to michael from this whole thing , if he suffers at all -- which he will -- jason will go after dante . olivia : [ exhales ] jason 's not gon na kill a cop , johnny . he ca n't risk that . johnny : it 's not gon na be that obvious , olivia . it 'll be in the form of a tire blowout going down a mountain or failed brakes . or maybe dante will leave the house one night for a carton of milk and never come back . that 's why jason is the best at what he does . olivia : and you think this is what my son deserves ? johnny : uhh ... i 'm furious with dante for what he did . he finally had another opportunity to nab sonny and turned his own brother in . but at the same time , i do not want to see anything cause you any pain . so , for your sake , i hope i 'm wrong . olivia : but you do n't think you are . johnny : no . i also do n't think that there 's anything this time that can protect dante -- not even you . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you believe it would be good for your brother to go to jail and be labeled a killer the rest of his life ? you believe that 's better than being under my protection ? dante : your protection has n't done anything for michael so far ! that 's why i turned him in -- to get him away from you . sonny : you 're using your hatred towards me to justify hurting your brother ! i thought you were a better man that that , dante . dante : i do n't care what you think about me . i 'm only concerned about michael and the fact that he deserves a better life , and i 'm gon na see to it that he gets it . [ scene_break ] carly : you knew dante was an undercover cop for months . you stood there , and you watched him manipulate my kids , and you said nothing . do you know what it took me to forgive you for that ? lulu : what did you expect me to do about michael ? carly : call me the second you knew michael was at your place . or how about before , lulu ? lulu : michael is doing this his own way . carly : oh , my god . you do n't know what you 're talking about . michael wants to impress his father . he wants to be in the mob . he thinks if he saves sonny , he 'll somehow prove himself . lulu : maybe , i do n't know , michael wants to do the right thing . carly : you 're naive . you had your chance to save michael , and you did n't take it . i deserve better , and so does michael . lulu : i 'm helping michael . i wish that you could see i 'm not trying to hurt anyone . carly : oh , but you have . you have . and you know what ? whatever happens to michael , just know that you picked your boyfriend over top of your family -- over top of me , lulu , who every time you came to me , and you want to talk about johnny or you want to talk about dante or you want to talk about your mother ... i was there for you . and the one time i need you , you turn your back . you did that , not me . [ lulu sniffling ] [ scene_break ] claire : i ca n't believe your arrogance . did you really think you could frame sonny for a murder that michael committed ? did you think no one would notice and that michael would be quiet and let his father go to prison ? jax : well , that 's why i told you not to go after michael . if you would have listened to me -- claire : no , i do n't have to listen to you . i do n't take orders from you . you gave me a case that was false . so , do n't blame me because it blew up in your face . jax : and then you sent dante to go out and find michael -- which , again , if you would n't have done that , we would n't be in this -- claire : you could have told me the truth at any time ! but because you chose not to , i 'm partially responsible for a brain - damaged kid being arrested for murder ? i am sick about this . do you think i wanted this ? this whole situation is so wrong , and it could have been avoided if you were honest . jax : you want me to be honest ? michael is n't the criminal here . sonny is . and if he walks , everybody loses . so , you better find a way to turn this around , because people 's lives depend on it ... not to mention that career that you 're so fond of . [ scene_break ] diane : michael , has anyone read you your miranda rights -- you have the right to remain silent , et cetera , et cetera ? mac : get him booked . diane : mac , my client has the right to counsel . mac : he certainly does , but we have the right to book him first . diane : you are denying him due process . mac : he will be available to you after he 's processed . it may take a while . diane : oh , well , that 's -- i can just imagine how that 's gon na sound to an appellate court when i explain that you have been railroading a cerebrally damaged 18-year - old . michael : diane , i 'm okay . diane : not one word . mac : nobody gets railroaded on my watch , diane . we 're doing this by the book . has he been arrested ? lucky : no . mac : so , he has n't been mirandized ? lucky : not yet . diane : ah -- that 's -- that 's a clear violation of his civil rights . and i -- mac : michael corinthos iii , you 're under arrest for the murder of claudia zacchara corinthos . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be appointed to you . do you understand these rights as i 've explained them ? michael : yes . diane : excellent . now i can speak with my client . mac : get him processed . lucky : come on . [ diane mutters ] jason : where 's michael ? diane : he 's being processed . mac would n't let me anywhere near him . jason : okay , then get a court order . call -- just make something happen . if michael confesses to murder ... he 's gon na go to prison . sam : hey . so , spinelli 's watching the pcpd mainframe . i know michael 's in custody . i figured you 'd be here . i just -- i want to help . jason : yeah , there 's nothing we can do at this point . it all went south . just as the verdict was about to be read , dante walks in and tells everybody in the court that it was michael who killed claudia and that he has proof . sam : what kind of proof ? jason : he has michael 's shirt from that night . michael saved it . i do n't know why . but it 's got michael 's dna . it 's got claudia 's blood all over it . and i actually found michael with lucky . but lucky would n't let him go . sam : well , where is michael now ? jason : he 's in booking . sam : in booking ? diane told him not to say anything , right ? jason : mac would n't let her talk to him . the judge wants to question michael personally . sam : oh , god . jason : and i honestly do n't think that michael understands if he confesses to this , he is gon na be charged with murder .

[ sighs ] but morgan , you know ... he already has a better life than michael ever will . and that 's because of you . i mean , you have ... you have taught him normal things to do in life , you know . you taught him to snowboard . you take karate with him . you 've given him so many wonderful things . you refused to let him grow up around bodyguards and violence and fear . and that ... i am so grateful for . and i really do n't see a way back for us . i ... but you have been a constant in morgan 's life , and i just hope that we can continue that . jax : i love you , carly . and i love the boys .

[ scene_break ] shawn : you might want to go check on josslyn . jax : yeah , that 's a pretty good idea . i 'll come back in the morning and we can finalize arrangements . carly : there 's nothing to finalize . josslyn 's coming home with me . she 's gon na sleep in her room and in her crib . jax : josslyn is not going to sleep in the house where you treated a mercenary 's gunshot wound . carly : josslyn was n't at home . she was with you when that happened . jax : that would have made a difference if she was upstairs ? carly : of course it would make a difference . i would never put our daughter in danger . jax : well , if you really mean that , carly , maybe you should have -- maybe you should just get rid of all the gangsters that come in and out of your house , because the level of violence that you 're exposing josslyn to is not ok . carly : i have no idea what you 're talking about . besides the night i was kidnapped by claudia when i gave birth to josslyn , she has never been around violence and she never will be , jax . jax : right . jason just made josslyn a target for franco . carly : jason ? oh , my god , josslyn 's alive because of jason . because of jason , josslyn had the kidney transplant . see , the night that jason 's son was killed , i did n't even give him 5 seconds to grieve . i went to him and i asked him for jake 's kidney and he made it happen . why ca n't you be grateful ? jax : you know , it 's a very touching story , especially when you tell it . but it does n't change the fact that jason has a criminal record a mile long . he 's a career criminal . and if you allow him to have ongoing contact with josslyn , that proves that you 're an unfit mother and i 'll use that in court if i have to . carly : you 're willing to take this to court ? jax : unless you 're willing to see reason . carly : oh , yeah , which translates to josslyn staying with you . jax : yes . i want primary custody . carly : well , that 's not gon na happen , because i 'm her mother . and you ca n't keep me away . jax : i 'm not trying to keep you away from her . ok ? no , you can come and stay at the metro court as long as you want , where it 's safe . but she 's not coming home with you . carly : well , that 's not your call . you do n't get to make that decision . jax : you 're right , it 's not my call . it 'd be a judge 's if you decide to fight me on this . look , you may have forgotten what it was like to see michael in a coma for a year , but i have n't . and i 'm not gon na let that happen to josslyn . carly : you 're being cruel . jax : i 'll do whatever it takes to protect my daughter . carly , you 've been in and out of mental institutions , ok ? that 's enough proof that you 're an unfit mother . shawn : look , stop or you leave now . you were on your way out . i advise you to keep going . jax : this conversation is none of your business . shawn : my job is to protect josslyn and carly from any danger . and that includes a self - entitled son of a bitch that shows up at the hospital and threatens to take that child from her mother . jax : you know , i 'm just not gon na wait around and hope for the best while carly exposes our daughter to the violence in sonny and jason 's life . shawn : you want to come after carly in court , i ca n't stop you . but you 're done here tonight . jax : i 'm done when i 'm done . shawn : no , i do n't think so . carly : jax . i do n't want to do here . some of the things you 're saying are awful . it makes me not want to compromise . jax : there wo n't be a compromise , not when it comes to josslyn 's safety . shawn : i 'm sorry for losing my temper . well , obviously i made this a little worse than ... carly : it ca n't get much worse . [ scene_break ] dante : at least if it is suzanne , then we know that he 's safe . if not -- sonny : if not , my marriage is done , before it even started . dante : sonny , look , you and brenda , you 'll find a way to get through this . sonny : i love her , you know , but she keeps ques -- she keeps questioning everything , ok ? dante : sure . sonny : that i ca n't protect the people i love . and i try to reassure her , but i 'm lying . 'cause i ca n't . you know , i ca n't guarantee that bad things are n't gon na happen . i ca n't promise her that i can keep her son safe . i do n't know why i 'm telling a cop this , but ... dante : well , maybe under these circumstances , i 'm not just a cop . i 'm your son . [ scene_break ] anthony : nice work . you did a real clean job . good timing , too , in front of the perfect witness . you 've got style , honey . strike like a cobra , think like a fox . and i can see where a guy would think you were abby haver . burn this . woman : will that be all , mr. zacchara ? anthony : and manners , too . i like that . i always tell my son johnny , manners count . if you 're gon na wax somebody , do it politely . [ chuckles ] uh ... this is a little bonus for you to relocate . if it was me , i would go to an island in the south seas and grow orchids . ah , you probably have your own ideas . pick anywhere . make sure that it 's far away . johnny : who 's your friend ? anthony : and this is a little extra for creativity . ah , i do n't want to be indelicate , but my mandatory vacation in pentonville was long and lonely . and i took one look at your exquisite lady friend lisa and i thought to myself , anthony , what the hell are you thinking about ? what are you waiting for ? then this delightful young lady was kind enough to accommodate me . [ scene_break ] jason : have you ever had any dealings with johnny 's father anthony ? abby : i thought he was in prison . jason : he just got out . and he 's staying with johnny . i got ta tell you , anthony is crazy , he 's ruthless , and he 's very smart . he 's probably the one who framed you for brandon 's murder . abby : why ? i 've never even met the guy . jason : well , uh , i 'm guessing that , you know , anthony getting released from pentonville was in the works for a while and he wanted to come out of prison with some leverage against sonny . and that 's michael . the best way to control michael is to threaten you . abby : this is so awful . michael has been wonderful . the last thing i ever wanted to do was cause trouble . now that 's exactly what i 've done . jason : at least i have a better idea of might have done this . abby : well , do you think you can prove it ? because if not , i 'm basically screwed . a witness who knows me thinks he saw me . i have all the motive in the world , no alibi . you know , i 've studied the law enough to know that i can see where this is going . if i do n't prove that i 'm innocent , i 'm gon na have to take a plea bargain . jason : oh , no . no . michael could n't take it if you went to prison . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] anthony : we 'll be in touch . woman : anytime . anthony : whoo ... hoo hoo hoo ! that girl is a veritable garden of earthly delights . johnny : i do n't need details . anthony : should i send her roses ? not red , of course . red is for love . and white is purity . purity . [ laughs ] and yellow is friend -- and none of them quite convey the essence of what she did for me . my rose bushes should have been delivered by now . you did n't cancel the order , did you , john ? johnny : i 'll tell you what , pop . tomorrow i 'll get you a plot at the public gardens , big enough to plant as many rose bushes as you want . just stay out of my family business . anthony : it 's my business . johnny : you know , all the meddling you did from prison , i could handle that , i could get around it , but now that you 're out , your input is neither needed or wanted . anthony : really ? i 'm proud of you , john . you got smarts , you got ambition , a good head for business . but you need your father 's wisdom . johnny : i 've done just fine without it . anthony : just fine ? john ... you need to be magnificent . but you 're too moral , too human . you stop and think about people 's feelings . you got an enemy , you need to pull out a knife and slit his throat . it 's like butchering a pig . but you , john , you do n't have the stomach . that worries me . johnny : what worries me is this mess you 've made of this brandon lowell thing . anthony : it 'll all work out . johnny : you 're damn right it 's gon na work out , because i 'm gon na fix it and you 're gon na stay out of it . you 're gon na spend your days basking in the glory of spreading manure . anthony : do n't you be so quick to dismiss me , my son . you 're gon na need me . maybe sooner than you think . [ scene_break ] michael : uh , abby , what are you -- what are you doing here ? abby : i was just discussing my situation with jason . jason : yeah , we were just talking about how she 's been framed and what to do about it now . michael : ok . i 'm glad you stopped . i did n't think i was gon na see you tonight . jason : michael , we need to talk . abby : no problem . i was just on my way out . michael : no , no , it 's ok . i do n't have any secrets to keep from you . jason : yeah , but i 'd rather do this privately . michael : you think my parole officer 's gon na come through the door and bust me for talking to abby ? abby : look , jason respects you , michael . he acts in your best interest . i know that he 's doing that right now . ok ? i 'll see you tomorrow . good night . michael : bye . jason , i 'm not staying away from abby . i just got out of a long lecture from dad and dante and i do n't want to fight with you either . jason : you want to see abby , that 's your choice . but she 's in some serious trouble , and if she 's gon na get out of it , you need to stop thinking about what you want and think about protecting her . [ scene_break ] shawn : you might want to call your lawyer , because your ex is coming at you with both barrels . carly : yeah , my lawyer is on it . i 'm not sure that falls under the category of guard duty , but i do appreciate it . shawn : ah , i bit my tongue as long as i could , but that guy is a horse 's ass . carly : i was hoping it would n't come to this . i was so hoping it would n't come to this . but i do n't know what i was thinking , that jax was just gon na flip a switch and decide that josslyn was safe with me ? shawn : it 's not about safety . it 's about jax wanting to punish you because things did n't work out like he wanted . carly : no , no , he believes i 'm an unfit mother . shawn : you 'd walk through fire for your kids . anyone can see that . you 're the one who got her the kidney transplant through sheer force of will . that 's the kind of mom a child needs . carly : thank you . shawn : yeah , well , i do n't have a whole lot of patience for bullies . carly : jax did n't use to be a bully . but now , god ... shawn : he 's got blinders on . anyone with eyes can see how josslyn lights up when you come into the room . look , she loves her mom and knows her mom loves her . the best gift you can give a child . carly : that sounds personal . shawn : yeah , my mom did right by me . why should n't i pay it forward ? carly : maybe i should write her a thank - you note . shawn : that might be tough . [ scene_break ] brenda : thanks for coming over . jax : i called the police on the way over here . they 're on the case . they 're coordinating with local and state authorities . brenda : oh , well , that 's great . jax : yeah . brenda : sorry . i 'm so worried about him . jax : we 're gon na find him . brenda : you think so ? jax : yeah . brenda : what do you think it really means if in fact this is one of sonny 's enemies who 's taken lucian ? what does that mean ? jax : you know , i 'm the last person to defend sonny , but i 'm sure that he 's doing everything he can . brenda : well , sonny 's kind of making me feel like i 'm a hysterical mother right now who needs to calm down . jax : you deal with it in different ways . brenda : do you know that i asked sonny to come to kelly 's with lucian and i tonight and he said that he could n't because he had to be with michael ? and i just ca n't stop thinking . it just keeps going through my head over and over that if he would have come with us -- if he would have come with us , then lucian would not be missing right now . if he would have come with us . jax : no , no , no , listen to me . you do n't know that , ok ? and it 's not gon na do you or lucian any good to speculate . brenda : i ca n't stop thinking about it . i ca n't stop thinking about him and what this means and where is he right now and that he 's by himself and that he 's wondering where i am , you know , and why his mother 's left him and why he 's alone . i just feel like i would do ... i feel like i would do ... anything to protect him . i just hope ... i just hope that he can feel that somehow , you know . jax : i 'm sure he can . brenda : do you think ? jax : yeah . brenda : i was thinking about offering an enormous reward . do you think that 's a good idea ? who should i contact to do that ? jax : you know , i think offering a reward right now would be counterproductive . brenda : that 's not what i asked you . that 's now what i 'm asking you . i 'm asking you who do i contact to do that , jax ? i mean , why do n't you say what you really mean . what you really mean is that you do n't want to help me because you knew that this was gon na happen . jax : no . i am here helping you . brenda : you 're the one who told me i should n't raise a child with sonny , and i did n't listen to you . why do n't you say what you really want to say to me ? [ scene_break ] robin : still no word from brenda . i 'm assuming in this case no news is bad news . patrick : although it 's tough to wait . robin : i just feel so helpless , you know . i 'm mad at myself . patrick : why are you mad at yourself ? robin : well , because i was there . i was there , and lucian is 3 years old and they 're always on the move . i should have been watching him . patrick : do n't do this . you 're second - guessing yourself . robin : lucian is sonny 's stepchild . the guard was not with us . i mean , i should have known better . patrick : robin , you were just talking to brenda . this is n't your fault . you had no control over the situation . robin : well , you know , that 's hard for me to admit . patrick : well , lucky you have me to call you on it . robin : i missed you when we were apart . patrick : i missed you so much . this was always the hardest time . go to sleep wishing that you were in my arms . i missed you so much . robin : well , then i should never leave you alone again . patrick : hmm . [ scene_break ] jason : anthony 's out of pentonville . yes . and he 's living with johnny . i think he 's the one who framed abby . michael : why would he want to go after abby ? it makes no sense . jason : to control you . michael : ok , well , i wo n't let that happen . i 'll never trust anthony zacchara . jason : this is personal for anthony zacchara . he wants to take sonny down and send a message . michael : you think johnny 's involved ? jason : i think you need to stay away from both of them . michael : yeah , but johnny 's been nothing but helpful to me and abby . i can go to his penthouse -- jason : no . no ! you need to stay out of this . i 'm gon na do everything i can to exonerate abby . michael : i 'm the reason that abby 's being framed . you ca n't expect me to just -- jason : sure i can , michael . because if you get in the middle of this , anthony 's gon na take advantage of every move that you make . do n't give him that opportunity . michael : i do n't want to make things worse for abby . i just want her proven innocent . jason : michael , i 'm gon na fix this . and i 'm gon na tell you right now , when this is over , there 's gon na be more situations like this . and it 's never gon na stop unless you walk away from the business . michael : it 's always back to that . jason : do you want to go through this all the time ? is this really how you want to live ? [ scene_break ] jax : brenda , offering a reward is a risky proposition because there are people out there who will invent leads in hopes to collect the money . ok , they 'll flood the authorities with bad information and that could slow down the police investigation . brenda : even if one of those leads is true , is n't that all that really matters ? jax : i 'm sure that lucian will be found soon , ok ? and if we do n't find him in the next 24 hours , we can revisit the idea . how does that sound ? brenda : well , i guess it makes me feel a little bit better , you know , to have a plan in place . i 'm sorry i yelled at you . i do n't know why i 'm yelling at you . jax : it 's ok , do n't worry about it . you have every right to be upset . brenda : you know , the real truth is that the only person i 'm really upset with is myself . this is all my fault . i got distracted . i was talking to robin and i got distracted . and i looked away from him . i looked away from him . i insisted that the guard stay in the car . jax : look , there 's no way you could have known that this was gon na happen . brenda : what do you mean there 's no way i could have known ? of course -- of course i know that . i married sonny . his life is dangerous . of course this can happen . and you know what you did ? you tried to warn me . that 's what you did . you tried to warn me . and i got mad at you . and i just did n't ... i just did n't want to listen . wow . i was wrong . i 'm really sorry . jax : no , you were n't wrong , you know . we all want happiness . we all try to see the best in the people that we love . brenda : yeah , but what about if , you know , trying to see the best in somebody puts your kid in danger ? jax : it 's not your fault . ok ? this is not your fault . you thought that lucian was safe here . [ scene_break ] michael : you said that people get to make their own choices . jason : i 'm just trying to say that if you choose this business , you 're gon na limit your life and you 're just asking for trouble . michael : you taught me how to believe in myself . how to get up after being knocked down . how to do what i think is right . and take care of the people that i love . that 's all i 'm trying to do right now . jason : you could be headed down a road you ca n't get off of . michael : i do n't agree . but as you can see , i 'm not yelling , i 'm not breaking things . that 's progress . jason : we 're gon na drop this for now . michael : how about we just drop it entirely ? jason : not until you hear me . so where you staying tonight ? michael : i told dante i 'd stay at his place . jason : ok . i 'm gon na be unreachable for a couple of hours tomorrow , sam 's having a procedure . and the best way you can help me is to stay away from anthony and johnny . michael : wait , is sam ok ? jason : yeah . yeah , it 's so she might be able to have kids . michael : hmm . well , jason , maybe that 's why you 're so worried about me . you think if i choose a life outside the business , then it 'll be ok for you to have kids . jason : yeah , maybe . michael : well , look , one thing is completely different than the other . jason , you 'll make a great dad . [ scene_break ] shawn : i lost my mother a long time ago . but i 'll never forget all she did for me and my sisters . carly : you have sisters ? shawn : yeah . both teachers in seattle , where we grew up . our mom was a teacher , too . she fought so hard for us . there was nothing she would n't do for her kids . from what i 've seen , you 're the same way with josslyn , michael , and morgan . trust me when i tell you your kids know it and love you for it . carly : i 've done a lot wrong . but my attorney diane miller said that anything that happened to my kids before jax and i got married does n't count because jax knew about it and still decided to have a child with me . shawn : so maybe he does n't have much of a case . carly : no , he looks a lot better than i do on paper . i mean , getting custody 's going to be tough . and i know that jax believes he 's being a good father . shawn : a good dad does not rip into the mother of his child . carly : oh , i do n't give a damn what jax or his attorney says about me . i do n't want josslyn in the middle . shawn : well , maybe you 'll resolve it before it goes to court . carly : i hope so . [ scene_break ] brenda : jax and i were talking about -- i had this idea that maybe , you know , we should put out some sort of big reward for lucian . sonny : ok , hold on . 'cause if you put out a reward , all kinds of people are gon na come out of the woodwork and it 's gon na slow down the search . jax : i told her that , yeah . it should be a last resort . brenda : have you heard anything back from any of your business associates ? sonny : well , i talked to bernie and , you know , he 's asking questions , he 's on the phone . we both seem to think that your boy 's disappearance has nothing to do with my life . brenda : almost everything bad that 's ever happened to your kids has usually been about your business , right ? so why would lucian be any different ? jax : no , we have to think of every possible scenario . we ca n't make assumptions 'cause we might miss a vital clue . ok ? brenda : i got it . i just want my son back . i 'm sorry , nothing else in the world matters to me . he 's just -- he 's just the most important thing in the world to me .
