[ scene_break ] sonny : i warned sam and you to keep my name out of the press , but every time i pick up a paper , i see my face on the front page and an article about how i bankrolled sam 's show because she was my mistress . amelia : then sue the media . do n't shut down my production . i ca n't control the press any more than you can . sonny : you do n't want to control them . this is like free publicity to you . you do n't care about me or my children . amelia : oh , well , given your line of work , i 'm guessing that your children have heard a lot worse . sonny : i am under enough scrutiny ; i do n't need any more from the press . i do n't want them watching me night and day . amelia : well , i have an investment to protect , and i 'm not going to let you or anyone else send my career down in flames because of a little unwanted publicity . sonny : amelia , are you threatening me ? amelia : lift the injunction and let `` everyday heroes `` go on the air as scheduled . the fastest way to get out of the spotlight is to throw sam into it . trust me , once the show premieres , the focus will be on sam . now , after they see her getting into trouble and dressed to the nines , do you really think that anyone 's actually going to care if you 're her sugar daddy ? sonny : i care . amelia : sam has towed the line for you and jason long enough . it is her time to shine . get out of the way and let her , or i 'll make sure that you 're featured in those unwelcomed headlines for months . [ scene_break ] skye : well , i should 've realized that a man who would fake a brain injury would n't hesitate to bug his own house . lorenzo : oh , spare me the righteous indignation . you stood in this very room less than an hour ago , conspiring with ric lansing -- ric lansing -- about when , not if , sonny and jason would kill me . skye : what was i supposed to do ? you stood by and lied to me for months . you watched while i put myself and our daughter in harm 's way . lorenzo : i did what was necessary to protect our family . skye : you sacrificed the safety of this family to protect your business . now , i do n't even know how you can begin to justify that , i do n't . but let 's just say , for argument 's sake , that you really do care about lila rae . lorenzo : she means the world to me . she 's my daughter . skye : yeah , well , then you , of all people , should understand why i have to protect her . lorenzo : if you were thinking about taking our daughter and leaving , you better think again . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] jason : um -- i have to go to work , actually . sam : yeah , i -- i do , too . amelia wants us to -- to leave and -- well , the plan was that we were going to go and tape a segment on survival in the wilderness , and then directly fly to manhattan for the premiere of the show . but if she ca n't get sonny to lift the injunction , then i do n't know if there 's going to be a show . jason : i 'm sorry -- i know how important this job is to you . sam : i know , jason , i know -- it 's -- it 's business . and i do n't want that to come between us , and it wo n't , because we 're going to stick to our deal . i do n't get involved in your work , and you do n't get involved in mine . jason : i guess it 's just better for everyone that way . sam : yeah . you know , it does n't mean that i do n't get to worry about you . just be careful , please . jason : you , too . i 'll see you in a couple days , okay ? sam : you have n't even left and i miss you already . [ thunder ] jason : i have to go . sam : hey -- i love you . jason : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] [ thunder ] elizabeth : okay . well , you just got to hold on . i 'll just hold on until we get to the hospital , okay , because i -- we ca n't do this by ourselves . oh , my god . [ elizabeth groans ] elizabeth : oh -- oh . ah -- agh ! [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] patrick : we 're doctors . keeping you alive is part of our job description . nikolas : i -- i just do n't want to spend the next however many weeks in this hospital bed with a tube down my throat . patrick : nikolas , we can still find a treatment . nikolas : that 's my point -- if you do n't . emily : what , so that 's it ? you 're just going to let craig win ? nikolas : emily , once this -- once this hits my lungs , my breathing shuts down and i suffocate . before that happens , i need to make my wishes clear -- emily : nikolas -- nikolas : to everyone . look , i -- if i 'm going to die , want to die with just a little bit of dignity left in me , okay ? robin : if you need a respirator to help you breathe , we 're going to put you on it . [ thunder ] robin : but if we 've exhausted all other possibilities and there is no cure , i promise you , we 'll respect your wishes . nikolas : thank you . robin : okay -- um -- get some rest . we 'll be back to check on you in a bit . nikolas : please -- please -- please , baby . if this happens , please do n't fight robin on this . okay ? will you just let me go , and focus on raising my son ? will you do that for me ? emily : nikolas , spencer is not going to need me to take care of him . nikolas : yeah . emily : he 's going to have you in his life for a very long time . nikolas : oh , i hope so . i hope so . but if that does n't happen -- if that does n't happen , there 's some things i need to say to him while i still have a chance . [ scene_break ] [ thunder ] jerry : you know , when jax and i were children , we used to play a game called -- michael : bushrangers . jerry : how 'd you know about that game ? michael : oh , your mom told us how to play it . she said it was jax 's favorite . jerry : well , did -- did my mum tell you which one was my favorite ? it was called wild west . with my friends , we used to make bows and arrows , you know , with tree branches -- i mean , one day i even came to play covered from head to toe in war paint . [ michael laughs ] jane : it was about that time that i noticed that all of my makeup had disappeared . michael : uh -- did you get in trouble ? jerry : i always get in trouble . michael : did you punish jax , too ? jane : i most certainly did . jerry : yes , my younger brother always pays the price for my actions . michael : uh -- do you think it would be possible if you and jax -- jax could teach us how to make our own war paint when he gets back from his honeymoon ? jerry : well , i 'm afraid i ca n't stay . michael : why not ? jerry : well , i have some business that i have to do that 's going to take me away for a while . [ scene_break ] patrick : what are you doing ? robin : i 'm calling the c.d.c . i want to see if someone there can help us identify this toxin . patrick : you ca n't do that . you 'll scare craig off . robin : what are you talking about ? he left town two hours ago . patrick : i -- i do n't think craig would just let nikolas die . robin : really ? this is the guy who shot me just to entertain himself . he does n't have a conscience , patrick . patrick : robin , think about it . craig needs nikolas to start a new life . i guarantee you he 'll be here before it 's too late . robin : no , you have n't been with craig day in and day out like i have . he does n't give a damn if nikolas dies . this is all just one big game to him . patrick : and game or not , nikolas is too valuable to craig to kill . robin : oh , really ? then why did he take off without giving him the injection ? patrick : i do n't know . maybe to put the fear of god into him , the fear of god into us to keep us in line ? look , i guarantee you the minute nikolas starts to crash , craig is going to show up with the counteragent -- in exchange for our continued cooperation -- and when he does , we need to be ready . [ scene_break ] jason : elizabeth ? [ scene_break ] lucky : we need a wheelchair ! epiphany : what happened ? lucky : mr. murray hydroplaned into a tree , and the e.r . was so packed i had to bring him up here . epiphany : oh . well , the storm knocked out the power over at mercy ; we 're the only hospital accepting trauma victims right now . mr. murray , it looks like you 're going to need some stitches . let 's get this cut cleaned out , and then take him for a cat scan . lucky : hey , thanks for your help , i appreciate it . epiphany : now , you be careful out there , because the last thing that elizabeth needs is for you to be laid up when she 's about to have a baby . [ scene_break ] [ jason pants ] jason : it 's okay , we 're going to the hospital . i 'm going to get you some help . elizabeth : take care of our baby . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . norma and spencer are leaving wyndemere right now . it might take them a while to get here because of the weather . nikolas : okay . emily : yeah . nikolas : if they do n't -- if they do n't make it in time , you have to -- you have to tell him how much i love him . will you tell him that for me ? emily : yes , i will . i will , nikolas , but you tell him all the time . nikolas : he -- he wo n't remember . he wo n't remember , he wo n't have one single memory of me . emily : hey , why are you so convinced that you 're going to die , huh ? there 's still a chance that robin and patrick could find a treatment to counteract this poison . nikolas : look , i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry i wasted so much time with you . i 'm sorry -- emily : no , nikolas -- hey , you listen to me . what happened to the nikolas who would n't let me give up when i was losing my battle with cancer ? huh ? you stayed here in the hospital , in the room next to mine , sitting against the wall , willing me to live -- and i did because of your love . i 'm just as determined to keep you with me . so instead of preparing for the worst , you focus on everything that you have to live for -- like your son . nikolas : i 'm so in love with you . i do n't want to leave you . [ scene_break ] sonny : diane ? it 's sonny . yeah , i need -- i need you over here in my office . it 's very important -- ahem . i know it 's raining . i just -- listen , just jump in that huge s.u.v . that i bought for you , i 'm sure it 'll get through the rain . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : let me guess -- you drove all the way over here in the pouring rain to trump up some more charges against me . ric : no , no , no , no charges . i came by to share some information . i just had the most interesting conversation with skye earlier . sonny : uh - huh ? ric : i do n't know if you 're aware of this , but apparently alcazar is fully recovered from his head injury , has been for months now . he 's been faking the whole disorientation and helplessness thing . sonny : it 's amazing you figured that out . ric : alcazar is the one who ordered the hit on you and jason at the cellar , sonny . sonny : and what do you expect me to do with that ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : i trusted you completely . i let you into my heart , into my life , because i thought that we had built something real , something that was going to finally last in my life . skye : so did i . so imagine my surprise when i found out you were faking a brain injury , pretending to be so scared , so helpless , so you could use me as a decoy to run your business . lorenzo : i made a difficult , difficult choice to secure our future . skye : you put your daughter and me at risk ! lorenzo : skye , you were never in any danger . if i thought you were in danger , i would 've stepped in . you know that , skye , you know me . skye : i thought i did . but the man i fell in love with would never have lied to me like you did . lorenzo : i explained to you that i thought that was the best scenario to protect you and lila rae , and you told me that you understood . you looked in my eye and you told me that you loved me and believed in me , then you went straight to ric lansing and started plotting revenge against me . skye : what the hell did you expect ? [ scene_break ] jason : i need some help ! kelly : what happened ? jason : i do n't know . elizabeth was bleeding when -- when i found her . kelly : okay , how long has she been unconscious ? jason : at least 10 minutes . i got here as fast as i could . kelly : set up a fetal monitor , and get a portable ultrasound . elizabeth ? elizabeth , can you hear me ? epiphany : what have we got here ? kelly : possible abruption . type and cross and prep o.r . one . epiphany : it 's busy -- they -- they all are . kelly : elizabeth needs a c - section . if we do n't get her in o.r . now , we 'll lose her and maybe the baby . [ scene_break ] jerry : there 's something i wanted to talk to you about . um -- you see , jax would be really disappointed if he knew came by , you know , while he was n't here . michael : yeah . jerry : so we would n't want to hurt his feelings , would we ? would we ? no . so i need to keep this visit a secret . now , i need you to both promise that you wo n't tell a soul that i was here . can you do that for uncle jerry ? can you do that ? okay , let me hear you say it , come on . michael : we promise . jane : all right , now , it 's getting late . i think the two of you need to go upstairs and get ready for bed now . michael : okay . jane : say good night to jerry . michael : good night , uncle jerry . jerry : good night . jane : go on , now . jerry : bye - bye . michael : come on . jane : so , when can i expect to see you again ? or is more than once every few years too much to ask ? jerry : well , it depends how my business deal plays out , mum . good night . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] robin : his sats are down to 92 % . patrick : we need to start you on oxygen . nikolas : no , not yet . robin : nikolas , you can barely breathe . nikolas : not yet . emily : look who 's here . nikolas : hey . come here . come to daddy . hey . emily : here we go , buddy . nikolas : come here . oh , yes . emily : he 's very happy to see you , huh ? nikolas : hey , buddy . [ robin chuckles ] nikolas : oh . hmm . could you give us a few minutes , please ? robin : yeah , yeah , we 'll -- we 'll be in the lab if you need us . nikolas : thank you . oh - oh . i know . all i ever wanted was to give you a chance to experience all the wonderful opportunities in this awesome life . that 's all i ever wanted for you . i love you so much . no matter where i am , i 'll love you so much . [ scene_break ] [ thunder ] sonny : if alcazar tried to kill me and jason , should n't he be sitting in lockup somewhere , or you building a case against him ? is that why you 're here -- so you can prep me to go on the witness stand ? ric : no , no charges have been filed . sonny : why ? ric : well , there 's no concrete evidence that really links mr. alcazar to the whole ambush . sonny : how about the fact that he came in here months ago and tried to kill me ? ric : oh , sonny , come on , that was your word against his . sonny : well , it 's not just my word . there was a witness -- the lady who planted the gun for him . that should be enough to bring up charges or establish a motive , no ? ric : well , you know , that -- that witness ' credibility is a little questionable , and carly was the only other person in the room that night . and since she decided to marry you after the incident , i would say that her testimony is somewhat suspect . so that leaves your account and mr. alcazar 's account of the incident to be on opposing sides . considering how many times you two have tried to kill each other , i 'd say that does n't make for a very strong case . sonny : this is n't about witnesses or evidence , this is about you . alcazar 's got something over your head , and if you go against him , he 'll use it . ric : interesting theory . sonny : why else would you be here ? [ thunder ] ric : i just came by as a courtesy . i mean , i know you do n't like to admit it , but we are family . and as your brother , i thought you might like to know that it was alcazar who tried to kill you . what you do with that information is up to you . [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] epiphany : dr. morucci is almost finished in o.r . three . kelly : the baby 's heart rate is dropping . get him out of there now . [ jason pants ] jason : you 're a good mother , elizabeth , our baby needs you to keep fighting . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] amelia : the car 's double - parked , we need to get going . where are your bags ? sam : i -- i have n't packed them yet . amelia : why not ? sam : um -- okay , really , i do n't see the point , because if you ca n't get sonny to lift the injunction , then we ca n't tape a segment . amelia : it 's already taken care of . sam : you got sonny to sign the waiver ? amelia : it 's right there in black and white . sam : oh , wow . okay , how 'd you get that done ? amelia : well , i happen to be very good at what i do -- and so are you , which is why i hired you , so go upstairs and get your bag packed . we got a plane to catch . by this time next week , you 're going to be a star . [ scene_break ] kelly : where are we ? epiphany : we 've given elizabeth four units of o - negative , but her vitals are still weak . kelly : hang two more . the patient is abrupting , we have to get this baby out . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeps ] emily : how 's he doing ? patrick : his sats are down to 88 % . [ patrick sighs ] emily : here , robin -- i 'm here , nikolas . you just try to relax . robin : no , no -- listen to emily , you have to keep your strength . just keep it on , please . make it quick . nikolas : i -- i love -- i love -- [ alarm ] robin : he 's seizing . emily : nikolas -- nikolas ! robin : give him lorazepam , two milligrams , i.v . push . patrick : i 'm going to intubate him . [ nikolas gasps ] emily : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] jerry : yes , hello . i 'm checking on a patient who was recently admitted , his name is nikolas cassadine . could you possibly tell me what room he 's in ? [ siren ] jerry : blast . [ scene_break ] ric 's voice : you know , sonny and jason know that alcazar was responsible for the ambush at the cellar , they 're going to retaliate . when they do , anybody who 's in their path could be in danger . lorenzo : lansing is playing on your fears to get to me . skye : i 'm not as naive as you seem to think . now , you would know that if you bothered to listen to the rest of it . lorenzo : i do n't want to fight with you , skye . i made a lot of mistakes -- we both have . i do n't think that 's a reason to throw everything away . now , we can either let this experience tear us apart , or we can use it to grow stronger and closer to one another . but in order for that to happen , i think we need to learn to trust one another again . skye : i want to trust you , lorenzo . lorenzo : then we 're halfway there . [ thunder ] skye : i 'm going to go check on the baby . [ lorenzo sighs ] ric 's voice : i do n't want to see anything happen to you or your daughter . skye 's voice oh -- skye : lila ! [ thunder ] [ scene_break ] diane : i realize that it is part of my job as your attorney to be on call for you 24 hours a day , but i charge extra for inclement weather . now , what is so important that i had to drive through a monsoon to get here ? sonny : i lifted my injunction against sam 's show . diane : you had me drive across town -- in the pouring rain no less -- to inform me that you have now changed your mind and lifted the injunction after i went through a great deal of trouble putting it in place ? sonny : i need you free to focus on -- on something else . diane : you could n't have told me that over the phone ? sonny : i did n't know who was listening . [ thunder ] diane : all right , well , this sounds serious . sonny : whew . i need you to prepare a defense for a potential murder charge against jason , and -- diane : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! sonny : what ? diane : no , i got to stop you . if i have any knowledge that either you or jason is trying to kill someone , i become a co - conspirator -- which i do not include on my roster of legal services . so from here on out , i have to insist we speak only in hypotheticals . sonny : hypothetically speaking , a constant threat who tried to murder me and ambush me at the cellar may die tonight . now , there 's not going to be any proof , but jason may not have an alibi . so , hypothetically speaking , i need you to cover jason 's back and mine . [ scene_break ] sam : it is really coming down out there . i doubt they 're going to let any planes take off tonight . amelia : it 's not as bad at the airport . sam : how can you be sure of that ? amelia : well , i called ahead , and the airline said that there have n't been any cancellations , just a couple of delays . sam : okay . well , what if there 's a change ? amelia : well , there has n't been yet , so go upstairs and get packed and let 's get going . sam : look , even if the flight is n't canceled , i -- i think we 're still not going to make it because the roads are a mess , and we 're probably going to be stuck in traffic for , like , two hours or so , and by the time we get there we 're going to miss the flight . so -- amelia : this is n't about you not wanting to get stuck in traffic , is it ? it 's about jason ? sam : yeah , he 's -- um -- he 's working tonight . amelia : so are you . the car 's waiting , we need to go . sam : yeah , i know , amelia , but you know what ? we do n't have to be there til 10 : 00 a.m. , so why ca n't we just take a flight in the morning ? amelia : so you can , what , just sit around here like a good little girlfriend waiting for jason to come home ? sam : are you kidding me ? no , i love him , and i get to worry about him . amelia : well , worry all you want on the way to the airport . now , this is your career we 're talking about , sam , and if you blow this off you 're not going to have one . so , are you seriously going to just throw this away to be jason 's personal cheerleader ? [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeps ] kelly : scalpel . epiphany : 60/30 and falling . you 've got to get that baby out now . kelly : i 'm almost there .

[ scene_break ] diane : if a man hypothetically resembling lorenzo alcazar were to be killed , and that man had a number of known enemies -- sonny : mm - hmm ? diane : barring any conclusive evidence like fingerprints or dna , it would be very difficult to prove which of those enemies -- hypothetically speaking -- you had actually ordered -- woman : she needs to use your phone . sonny : who are you ? woman : this wo n't take long . you could wait outside . sonny : and who are you ? woman : kate howard .

[ mugger groans ] [ scene_break ] lucky : this night has not turned out the way i 'd hoped . rebecca : sorry , i should have locked the door . which does n't excuse nikolas . he had no right to just barge in here like he owns the place . lucky : that 's the thing ; he usually does own the room he barges into . rebecca : yeah , the rich are different , that 's for sure . lucky : listen , i apologize . rebecca : why ? lucky : i feel like i misled you , and i did n't follow through . rebecca : hey , i was there , too . it was mutual . all of it . look , we might as well clear the air now . all right ? i mean , now 's as good a time as any . lucky : go ahead . rebecca : i really like hanging out with you . you 're fun , you 're smart , and you 're great to look at . lucky : i 'm flattered , but i 'm sensing a `` but . `` rebecca : but nikolas helped me through one of the most terrifying and defining moments of my life . we connected in a really profound way , at least while it was going on . i do n't know what 's going on between us now . i do n't know . it seems like immediately after the cancer scare , we just sort of lost everything that we had gained . alexis started accusing me of running some scam with that nut job , helena . and nikolas not only did n't defend me , but he kind of bought into it . i guess it really hurt my feelings . i wanted to hurt him back . lucky : you can stop . i get the picture . rebecca : lucky , i feel horrible . i mean , you 're a really nice guy , and i should have never used you like that . lucky : you know , somewhere i knew that we could never really take this relationship that far . and you were right about elizabeth . i still think i have feelings for her .

[ knock on door ] elizabeth : seriously ? i 'm coming . just a minute . patrick : hey . i know i keep saying i 'm not going to use you again , but surprise , surprise , i 'm in a bind . elizabeth : come on in . patrick : thank you . there 's a two - hour window tomorrow that no one 's available to watch emma . matt and i both have surgeries , judy 's busy , and mercedes is getting a root canal or something . elizabeth : oh , ouch . patrick : yes . so i will pay you $ 1 million if you can watch emma from 1 : 00 to 3 : 00 . elizabeth : a million dollars ? are you serious ? a mill -- i ca n't say no to a million dollars . patrick : are you okay ? you seem a little blurry . elizabeth : oh , well , if that 's your polite way of asking me if i 've been drinking -- patrick : okay , i 'm sorry . you 're probably just a little bit tired . elizabeth : then the answer is yes . yes , i went out drinking tonight . do n't worry , the kids are with my grandmother and i was free to go to jake 's and make a complete fool of myself . patrick : yeah , i know that feeling . elizabeth : yeah , but that 's you . this is me . i 'm elizabeth webber , self- righteous paragon of virtue with feet of clay . patrick : wow . you really have been drinking , have n't you ? elizabeth : tarnish your image of me ? patrick : not at all . honestly , your image could use a little mud . make the rest of us feel a little less incompetent . elizabeth : thanks . patrick : can i get you anything , for a change ? elizabeth : can i ask you a question ? patrick : yes . elizabeth : how does love work ? patrick : oh , no . no , elizabeth . you 're asking the wrong guy -- elizabeth : no , i know , but you 've found it . so you must know . i mean , why does love go back and forth ? because after -- oh , my god , after four marriages and two children and a lot of heartache , i still do n't get it . [ scene_break ] jason : so are you ready to tell me how you ended up wet , falling from a building ? sam : okay . all right . so this guy hires me because he wants me to catch his wife cheating . it 's the last thing he wants , but it 's the nature of the business , right ? so i wind up following her to the metro court , and i find out that she 's got a spa appointment . so naturally , i make one for myself , which explains why i was in a robe . because i had to get out of my clothes . which was a good thing , because it landed me in the locker room . i was able to sit right next to her and strike up conversation . and i told her something like i was the wife of the raisin king of secaucus or something like that . jason : wow , why would you say that ? sam : i do n't know , i had to get her attention . and i wanted her to listen . i mean , you would question that , too , would n't you ? okay . so anyway , i literally turn around for like one second , turn back , she 's gone . i 'm like , where 'd she go ? okay , there she is . she 's going through the back door . so i follow her , in my robe , of course , up to her room . i wait there for like two minutes . she 's in and out . she leaves really quick , so i wind up picking the lock . i get into the room , i 'm looking around to see if there 's anything that i can find , and she comes back . so i wind up running into the bathroom , and guess what she does ? she comes into the bathroom . i jump into the shower . then she puts her hand in the shower to turn on the water , opens up the curtain , screams bloody murder , and her girlfriend comes in . jason : wait , wait . her girlfriend ? sam : yes , her girlfriend . as in lover . so thankfully i had the camera around my neck , and i was able to snap a picture for hubby . but girlfriend tries to snatch the camera off of me . we 're kind of in a wrestle , and she grabs my sleeve , i wind up getting out of it , and i 'm now in my underwear . and then , i 've got to jump out of the bathroom window , and like magic , there you are , standing there . nice timing , by the way . jason : and what if i had n't been there ? what -- sam : you were . so that 's really all that matters . and , you know , i kind of have been thinking about it , and if some stranger was in my bathroom , i would probably attack them , too . all that matters -- i got my picture . that is it . jason : are you sure this is how you want to make a living ? [ scene_break ] maxie : johnny , please stop ! you 're going to kill him . no , do n't . do n't go . johnny : you okay ? maxie : no . johnny : it 's okay . it 's over . no one 's going to hurt you . spinelli : let her go , disgusting stalker -- maxie : spinelli . spinelli : what have you done to upset maximista ? [ scene_break ] jax : i 'd rather not have another go - around with you . sonny : really ? then why are you in my living room ? jax : claudia already said . i was trying to get her to distract you so you 'd spend a little bit more time with her and the baby instead of stressing out carly . sonny : okay , my position has not changed . you are risking carly 's life by demanding she has this baby . jax : you do n't seem to be able to grasp the fact that there 's only one person who can make that decision , and that 's carly . she 's made it . sonny : all right , all right . jax : okay ? and i 've accepted that . and fighting her is no good for her health . you need to understand that . because us going at each other for the next nine months is not good for anyone , okay ? so we 're just going to have to agree to disagree and move on . sonny : no , what you 're trying to say , translation , is , you want me to do what you want . but i 'm not going to do that . jax : you have a think about it , sonny . if you really care about carly , you 'll see it my way . sonny : everything 's his way . that 's all he 's -- you know . `` see it my way , see it my way . `` claudia : okay , look , sonny -- sonny : what about my way ? claudia : i would never side with him against you while he was in the room , but it 's just you and me now , and i have to be honest he 's right . [ scene_break ] maxie : no , spinelli . you 've got it wrong . johnny was n't attacking me ; he was trying to save me . some guy came out of nowhere and i tried to fight him off , but he was way too strong . johnny : i was on my way to kelly 's and i heard screaming . so i ran down here , saw maxie struggling with this guy , so i taught him a lesson . spinelli : where is he now ? johnny : ran off . spinelli : this is unthinkable . you could 've sustained serious trauma . maxie : no , it 's okay . i 'm fine now . i 'm a little shaky , but it 's done . spinelli : thanks to the timely intervention of the mob prince . johnny : timing 's everything . spinelli : yeah , and clearly the jackal 's is sorely lacking . maxie , i have failed you egregiously . you warned me that this could happen . you even asked for my protection , and i left you alone to face deadly peril . look , a mere apology is not even -- can not even begin to express my abs -- maxie : i do n't want you to feel bad . that 's the last thing i wanted . i knew you would come , spinelli , and you did . spinelli : yeah , but johnny came first . so now i have to set aside my self- disappointment and thank the mob prince for his timely intervention . if you could take maxie home -- maxie : no , you could take me . spinelli : no , no . you 've endured enough indignity . just go with the one who effected your rescue . i 'll stay here and look for clues as to the identity of your attacker . maxie : spinelli , you do n't have to do that . spinelli : no , i know , it 's but a paltry effort , but being that i could not protect or defend you , it 's the least i can do . [ scene_break ] patrick : the only thing i know about love is the fact that i do n't know anything about love . i mean -- okay . so , i think , personally , i 've made some progress in the situation . when i first got to port charles , i thought love was an excuse to get a woman in bed . or some abstract concept guys would make up to kind of cover up the fact that they were whipped . elizabeth : you are such an unapologetic pig . patrick : wow . easy . elizabeth : it 's true , and you know it . you 're every woman 's worst nightmare . it 's no wonder robin could n't stand you . patrick : yeah , yeah . well , she worked a miracle , did n't she ? and somehow , this tiny woman with a big mouth got under my skin and stayed . i do n't know . you know , she made me realize all the things i did n't think i wanted , like commitment and family . turns out that 's what i wanted all along , you know ? and i still do . i guess that 's why with robin gone , nothing seems to make sense anymore . well , that 's it . that 's the end of my wallow in self - pity . i 'm supposed to be helping you here . elizabeth : you did . you reminded me how rare true love is . and how easy it is to lose . [ scene_break ] claudia : i know that you do n't like hearing this , but i 'm going to give it to you straight . okay , carly 's pregnancy is up to her to decide whether or not she wants to carry that baby to term , and she 's apparently made that decision already , sonny . why ca n't you just respect that ? why do n't you leave carly and jax alone ? sonny : it 's not that simple . we 're talking life and death here . claudia : it is simple . i do n't see how it 's complicated . she 's pregnant . she has a blood disorder that makes it a risky pregnancy , and she ca n't be stressed . so you fighting with carly is putting both of them at risk . right ? you need to back off . and it 's not like you do n't have other things to think about . michael 's experimental surgery is coming up , and you have this little baby right here . and this little baby is starting to feel kind of neglected . sonny : okay . i do n't want to talk about it anymore . and i just want you to be clear that that baby growing inside of you is as important to me as any other child . and , you know , never doubt that , okay ? claudia : okay . thanks . i 'm pregnant . i still ca n't believe i 'm pregnant . sonny : it 's pretty wild . claudia : it 's crazy . i did n't ever think that i would -- sonny : hey . claudia : hello , guard ? olivia : i came as soon as i got your message . what 's going on ? claudia : oh , i 'd like to know , too . why would you invite her here at this time of night ? sonny : claudia , go upstairs , because i got to speak to her in private . claudia : oh , really ? do i have a choice ? sonny : not really . and do n't try to listen to what we 're saying when you 're on top of the stairs . claudia : okay , good . drop dead . olivia : looks like you 've got some damage control on your hands . sonny : do n't worry about that . i need help . and i know that you 're the only one that can give it to me . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i was just thinking about robin and how scared she must be . because her whole life just spiraled out of control so much that she pushed away the only person who really loved her . at least she had a legitimate reason . patrick : are you blaming yourself for your breakup with lucky ? because , elizabeth , from where i could tell , he was a pretty big contributor . elizabeth : yeah , lucky had a drug addiction . it changed who he was . once he got sober , he was the same old lucky that i 've always known . but by then , i was in love with jason . and i lied to lucky about it , and i married him anyway . see , there 's always this breaking point where no matter how much you love someone , or no matter how much you want to be with them , when too much damage is done , it 's impossible to be honest . and that 's what i did to lucky . patrick : well , does lucky get to weigh in ? i mean , you know , maybe he sees it differently . [ knock on door ] elizabeth : lucky . [ scene_break ] dale : hey , man , have you seen a hot blonde around here anywhere ? spinelli : i actually know several that fit that description . dale : tell me about it . i should 've known better than to trust a magazine chick . spinelli : magazine chick ? dale : yeah , crazy broad wanted me to stalk her . spinelli : i 'm sorry . could you provide further clarification ? dale : it was a set - up . so some guy she knows comes stumbling on the scene to play hero . i was n't interested at first , but she said the idiot could n't hurt a fly . so i guess she changed her mind . [ scene_break ] maxie : such an idiot . big news flash , right ? i thought i came up with the perfect plan , but it could not have gone any worse . johnny : plan to do what ? maxie : you know how spinelli is always saying that he wants to feel manly ? well , i wanted to be the person who made him feel that way , so i hired someone to stalk me . johnny : you got to be kidding me . maxie : i was waiting for the guy that i hired to show up when that freak you jumped showed up instead . johnny : and really attacked you . maxie : i hate to think what would have happened if you had n't been there . why is it whenever i need help , you are always around ? [ scene_break ] sam : you sure you want to stick around ? typing a surveillance report is n't exactly compelling viewing . jason : yeah , i 'll make sure the angry girlfriend does n't come back here and track you down . sam : thank you . i 'm really grateful for the rescue , but i think the danger has passed . and besides , my car is here , so -- jason : oh , yeah , yeah . if you 're sure . sam : yeah . jason : okay . sam : could i keep your jacket ? i 'll drop it off tomorrow . jason : no , absolutely not . yeah , of course you can . only because you solved your first case . and i know spinelli 's going to be very excited . sam : well , i think he might be the only one excited right now . i do n't want to tell this guy that his wife was caught cheating on him . jason : sometimes it 's better not to ask the question if you do n't want to hear the answer . sam : wow , that was almost profound . if i actually thought you believed it -- but you always want the truth , even if it hurts . jason : i just got the truth . and i really have no idea what to do with it . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know i 'm happy to help you , sonny , if i can . sonny : yeah , you can . i 'm sure you know where carly is . olivia : well , yeah . that kind of goes with the territory . she 's my boss , and she 's married to my other boss -- sonny : okay , do n't do that . do n't do that with me . look , i 'm not looking to fight with jax anymore . he actually -- you missed him . he came in here , he was trying to work claudia , i did not even punch him . olivia : oh , you did n't even punch him . sonny : no . olivia : sonny , you 're such a good boy . did you want a gold star for your forehead ? sonny : no . what i want is for you not to be on alert because of me . olivia : okay . i would like to believe that that 's true , but sue me if i 'm not entirely convinced , okay ? sonny : okay , listen to me . you know i do n't start trouble for the sake of starting trouble . i do n't want carly to end this pregnancy because i 'm jealous or sadistic . the reason i 'm doing it is because i do n't want my sons to lose their mother . now listen to me . sometimes carly can be bullheaded , she does things without thinking , and she needs a voice of reason . olivia : and you think you 're the voice of reason here . sonny : all i 'm saying is that i need to talk to carly away from jax . and i know you can make that happen . olivia : sonny -- sonny : just do it for me . olivia : sonny . sonny : remember the old times . olivia : sonny , sonny , look it , you know -- i respect that you 're sincere , okay ? but carly and jax both came to me specifically to ask me not to tell you carly 's whereabouts . sonny : all right . olivia : okay , no , look , look . if i thought for one second that you could do something to help out the situation , you know that i would love to give you what you want . but i got to be honest . i think they both have real good reason to want to keep you away . [ scene_break ] johnny : come here . [ thunder ] johnny : there . maxie : well , here you are again , my hero . johnny : you sound thrilled about that . maxie : i am beyond grateful for what you did up here . it 's all the rest of it i 'm not so sure about . johnny : hmm . so why do n't you think about it ? maxie : what does that mean ? johnny : i 'm asking you -- maxie : how i feel about you ? johnny : yeah . maxie : okay . i like you . i think that you 're sexy and edgy and pent - up . you 're explosive , like we saw tonight , so obviously i 'm attracted to you . but i love spinelli . he 's my best friend , and i 'm doing everything i possibly can to try to get us back on track , so i really do n't want to do anything that would jeopardize that . johnny : and if spinelli were n't in the picture ? maxie : then we would still have lulu . and yes , she gets on my very last nerve , but lulu is like the closest thing i have to a real friend who is n't related to me , so i 'd have to kiss that goodbye , and we would have to subdivide the apartment again . no offense , i just -- i do n't think just jumping into bed with you to see what it would be like would be worth the cost . but if you asked me again tomorrow , my answer could change . [ knock on door ] [ maxie sighs ] maxie : spinelli ! oh , my god . spinelli : please do n't muddy the waters with your preplanned prevarication . just give me an honest answer , if you are capable . did you set me up ? [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that claudia is the reason for that look on your face . jason : yeah , and some other stuff . sam : well , the last time we spoke , you said that you were n't very sure if you had proof whether or not she was involved in michael 's shooting . jason : i still do n't , but now i am convinced . i mean , i got the drop on jerry at the 10th street parking garage , and i was going to take him for a drive and get some answers . i pushed the remote to his car and his car exploded . now , right before , he said i was n't going to like what he had to tell me , and there was just something about the way he said that to me . sam : and of course , jerry 's gone . any leads ? jason : nothing . sam : is there any situation this guy ca n't get himself out of ? jason : i know , it 's unbelievable . it 's unbelievable . jerry could be anywhere at this point , and he 's the only one who can confirm the truth about claudia . sam : please tell me you did n't get off that gurney and go after him . please tell me you stayed long enough for a doctor to check you out , jason . jason : i 'm fine . sam : you always say that , and necessarily , it 's not always true . jason : well , i was good enough to catch you falling from the building . sam : you had no choice . i would have crushed you . jason : yeah , right . sam : did i remember to thank you for your amazing timing ? jason : you 're welcome . sam : why were you there , anyway ? jason : i was going to meet with bernie , and i just decided to take a walk , kind of clear my head , and try to figure out exactly what -- what to do . how am i supposed to tell sonny that i am convinced that his wife is responsible for putting michael in that coma ?

[ scene_break ] johnny : you two need some privacy ? hey , you remember that speech you gave me about maxie , how special she is she needs to be cherished ? i hope you can follow your own advice . [ door closes ] maxie : okay , the guy that you talked to was obviously the photographer 's assistant that i know from work , but i just wanted you to see me in danger , spinelli , so that you wanted to help me . spinelli : right , and since you have zero faith in my ability to do that , you hired someone to pretend to be hurt by my ineffectual efforts . the fact that you went to such lengths to dupe me into thinking that i could be your hero , when clearly , johnny will forever claim that title , is both saddening and distressing . maxie : no , spinelli , that 's what you 're missing . yes , johnny might have saved me tonight , but you saved me first , every day , by just believing in me . so , yes , i 'm going to lie and bribe and do whatever it takes to get you back in my life , because i miss you . i miss the person who makes me believe that i 'm actually a good person . i miss the guy who makes me laugh and look forward to what the day might bring . i miss the guy that i love most in this world , and i 'm tired of you shutting me out . please , spinelli , just come back to me . spinelli : the only thing that today proved was how easily you can still manipulate me . i 'm sorry , maxie , but i wo n't hang around waiting for the next time you need a stooge . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know , when i saw you and nikolas kissing at the hospital the first time , i thought that was bogus . compared to the two of you at jake 's , it just -- i knew that was for real . so rebecca and i went back to her place , and i thought if i slept with her , it would help distract me from you . elizabeth : oh , my god , did you ? lucky : no , i could n't . it just would n't be respectful to anyone , especially rebecca . she 's a great person who deserves someone who 's into her , but that 's just not me . so if nikolas tells you that rebecca and i were having sex , it did n't happen . elizabeth : what , nikolas ? lucky : nikolas , he showed up at rebecca 's , right after we agreed that we were making a mistake , and he just took off before we could tell him that nothing happened . elizabeth : okay , okay , can we just go back to the part where moving on is n't working for you ? lucky : okay . elizabeth : i mean , that 's a good thing , right ? it 's not something that you wish you could just get over and forget about ? lucky : it 's just not possible . elizabeth : i 'm asking you if you want it to be . lucky : no . elizabeth : good . that 's good , because moving on is n't really working for me , either . [ scene_break ] nikolas : let me save you the effort , rebecca , because i know how this goes . i am obsessed with my dead wife , okay ? and i 've brought you nothing but misery . i pushed my way into your life , made your cancer scare all about me and my twisted need to relive the past with emily . and whatever feelings that you may have had for me were crushed when helena came around and i turned on you , right ? i 'm just a problem that you do n't need right now , especially when my much saner brother is just waiting to pick up the slack . rebecca : are you done speaking for me yet ? because none of that is what i came here to say . lucky and i did n't sleep together . you walked in -- uninvited , i might add -- just as we decided not to . he wants elizabeth . he finally admitted that tonight . and , god help me , i 'm attracted to you . [ scene_break ] jason : so after i left the hospital , i went to see claudia , and she was nervous and really defensive . sam : well , i mean , is n't she always ? jason : well , yeah , but not like this . i mean , she was definitely covering something , so i started to ask around , and i found out that this zacchara lackey named fredo genovese suddenly dropped out of sight . guess what he does ? sam : explosives ? jason : claudia knew jerry was coming back . sam : oh . jason : so , you know , maybe she met with him , i do n't know . maybe -- i would n't put it past jerry if he told her he would be quiet about her connection to michael 's shooting . sam : why ? jason : why ? because jerry always protects jax , always , always . he knows his brother 's happiness rides on carly never knowing that jerry had something to do with michael 's shooting . so jerry wants claudia 's silence as much as she wants his . sam : yeah , but why would claudia want to kill jerry if he 's so motivated to keep quiet ? jason : would you trust jerry jacks ? sam : all right , all right , good point . jason : okay , right , so maybe she wanted to make sure that he was n't going to change his mind . i mean , does this make sense to you ? sam : except claudia is pregnant with sonny 's baby , and you ca n't tell him any of this . [ scene_break ] claudia : please tell me you 're not about to fall for the oldest trick in the book . olivia left her phone here so she would have a chance to come back and see you . sonny : that 's crazy . olivia does n't even think like that . claudia : yeah , olivia -- that woman thinks like that . sonny : i 'll be right back . i 'm not going to have a fight with you right now . claudia : you 're going to olivia 's right now ? you 're really going to leave me ? wait a minute , i 'm sorry -- what about dinner ? sonny : you 're going to be hungry tomorrow , right ? we 'll cook dinner , we 'll have a good time , we 'll do whatever you want to do . claudia : why ca n't max take her her phone ? sonny : because max ca n't get olivia to reveal where carly is . claudia : neither can you . sonny : if at first you do n't succeed , you try , try , try again , right ? claudia : okay , good , you 're -- let me get something straight . you 're going to leave your pregnant wife home alone here , starving , so that you can drive through the pouring rain to bring your ex - girlfriend her cell phone -- a woman who has a crush on you ? wait , sonny , i 'm supposed to be okay with that ? sonny : okay , first of all , she does n't have a crush on me . second of all , your hormones are raging , and this is not a time to have a fight , because i do n't want to fight with you . i 'll be back shortly . [ scene_break ] [ thunder ] nikolas : what ? rebecca : well , you heard me . i 'm not happy about any of this , nikolas . i mean , you 're not easy . you 're obsessed with your dead wife . you live in this creepy mausoleum . you 've got batty relatives running around all over the place , making false accusations and threatening people . i could save myself a lot of hassle and just move on , but somehow i 'm not able to . and in spite of the fact that you might possibly be stark raving mad , or , i do n't know , maybe because of it , you 're , you know , one of the most fascinating men i 've ever met .

lulu : well , do you have a record of the passengers that you picked up ? if i had a receipt i would n't be calling . ok , well , unless you can find some sort of proof that my boss used your service , we wo n't get reimbursed , therefore she wo n't be using your company again . ok . yeah , you can call me back on this . bye . hi . sorry . dante : this looks like fun . lulu : yeah , that 's one word for it . kate has completely forgotten that she was supposed to turn in her expense reports by the first , so now i 'm stuck looking up months ' worth of receipts so she can get reimbursed . dante : huh . i 'm surprised she did n't leave you chained to the desk till you finished it . lulu : i 'm sure she would have loved that , but i need a steady stream of caffeine to get through this . dante : so you set up shop here , huh ? lulu : coffee 's free for family . dante : yeah , so are the rooms . i 'm guessing luke 's staying upstairs since tracy cut him off ? i mean , if you sit here long enough , you can probably run into him . that 's probably what you 're hoping for , right ? tracy : you 're wasting your time . i had the locksmith out this morning . you will not have access to the casino or any other aspect of your life until you check into rehab . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i wanted to come by and see how you were doing . i know the intervention did n't go like you hoped . lucky : well , that 's an understatement . it was a long shot , anyway . dad does n't like being backed into a corner . i mean , who does ? he 's not going to go to rehab . he ca n't admit he has a problem . nikolas : it 's kind of hard to ignore when you 're confronted by all the people you care about . lucky : when someone 's determined to self - destruct , they can ignore pretty much anything . he 's punishing himself for what happened to jake instead of putting the blame where it belongs -- on his disease . he 's not gon na go to treatment , so there 's nothing more we can do right now . i need to start focusing on my own life . which means working on keeping siobhan in the country . nikolas : let me handle that . ok ? but honestly , i do n't think you should be getting married right now .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i know that i 'm not supposed to have contact with my dad until he agrees to go to rehab . dante : you just want to see how he 's holding up . lulu : the intervention was brutal . he was blindsided by everyone that he cares about . i ca n't forget the look on his face when he realized why we were all there . it was a mixture of shock and disgust , like we all betrayed him . dante : well , your father 's an alcoholic . if hitting jake did n't make him realize that , i do n't know what will . lulu : you must think i 'm pathetic . i ca n't go one day without breaking my promise to stay away from my dad . dante : so what ? that 's not pathetic . you love your dad . lulu : yeah , but being here is not gon na help him get into rehab . i know he 's gon na see me as the weakest link and a way back into the family . dante : do you want to let him back in while he 's still drinking ? lulu : no . i ... i would like to say that -- i would like to see him come down the stairs with his bags packed ready to get help , but i would be lying if i said that i did n't want him to forgive me for being a part of the intervention . [ scene_break ] luke : i understand how difficult it is to say no to a grieving father . you want to help lucky crawl out of the hell that he 's in . that 's fine . but you 're not gon na do it by locking me out of the star . tracy : you locked yourself out by refusing treatment . luke : lucky has this idea that if he `` fixes `` me , it 's somehow gon na fix what 's broken in him . to numb the pain , he has projected his illness onto me . tracy : luke , you are every bit the addict that lucky is . the only difference is that lucky has taken care of his problem , you are letting yours consume you . luke : i have a healthy appreciation for a fine whiskey . tracy : oh , my -- you have put your need to drink in front of everything else in your life -- me , your children -- and i am not gon na excuse it any longer . luke : you think that if i give up the booze , somehow all my vices are gon na magically disappear ? it does n't work like that . this is who i am . come on , tracy , deep down you do n't want me to change . so open up the door and let 's get on with our lives . tracy : ha . nice try . nikolas : i do n't think a marriage will be necessary . let me make some calls and see if i ca n't get siobhan 's visa sorted out . luke : ok . but just so you know , she already filed for an extension and it was denied . so was the appeal . the government gave her a date for deportation , so what else can you do ? nikolas : i have some business dealings with some connected people in washington . let me give them a call and see what they can do . lucky : i just do n't want you to owe anyone on my account , you know ? nikolas : i like siobhan . i think she 's good for you . but jumping into a marriage right now , even with the best of intentions , is a mistake , i believe . [ door opens ] siobhan : oh . am i interrupting ? lucky : no . your timing could n't be better . it looks like nikolas might have some good news . you may not have to marry me after all . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , of course that little boy reminded me of jake . everything does . my home , the park , the car ride over here . today a yellow motorcycle pulled up next to me and it looked exactly like jake 's favorite little toy . he used to say , `` daddy , when i get big like you , i want a real one . `` steve : if you need more time ... elizabeth : no , i -- he was so full of life . i would n't be honoring him if i just curled up in bed and tried to block out all the memories , right ? and cameron and aiden need me to be the best mom i can be . steve : i respect that . i do . i really do . but no one 's asking you to do it all at once . i mean , if you 're in the middle of your shift and you start to feel like it 's too much , just say so . you have nothing to prove to anyone . elizabeth : ok . thank you . steve : i 'm here to help . elizabeth : you mean that ? steve : i 'm your brother . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . elizabeth : then i need you to just go . steven , i love you , but sometimes you really stress me out . i think you just need to take a hike or go play around on your guitar , pretend you 're stevie ray vaughn for a while . steve : oh , ouch . come on , that 's not fair , making fun of your big brother 's not - so - secret fantasy life . elizabeth : you just need to go do something you enjoy . that 'll make me happy . steve : elizabeth -- elizabeth : please , steven , i 'm serious . i need to do this on my own .

[ pencils rattle ] diane : oh ! well , if it were a snake , it would have bit me . spinelli : a note seems redundant now that the jackal 's here in the flesh . diane : excellent point . so , i , as you know , am working on the abby haver defense , and i 've come to find out where we are in terms of proving she was framed . spinelli : the jackal is not at liberty to discuss stone cold 's plan of action . diane : spinelli , you know that any conversation between us is covered by attorney - client privilege . spinelli : there 's no need to keep up the pretense . it 's very clear that you are not here to help abby . you came here to pilfer the jackal 's private files .

[ voice breaking ] and i do n't understand why it 's hurting this bad and why i 'm crying over a stupid guy that used me . jason : you -- you care . and johnny threw it away for revenge . carly : yeah . revenge . as soon as kate came on to him , johnny -- there was no way in hell he was gon na pass up that opportunity . jason : was it -- was it kate 's idea or is that just want to believe -- carly : do not defend her ! jason : i 'm just trying to figure her out , okay ? kate 's not my favorite person in the world , but she seemed to really love sonny . carly : [ chuckles ] you know what ? kate 's blameless . as it turns out , kate did n't do anything to sonny . connie did . jason : connie ? carly : kate 's alter ego . according to johnny , kate has a split personality . [ computer keys clacking ] agent : well , ah . there 's a flight to rio with one seat left on it . would you like me to reserve that for you ? connie : sounds perfect . agent : okay . connie : [ chuckles ] agent : uh , it is in first class . connie : that 's fine . agent : okay . fine . great . and your name ? connie : connie falconeri . agent : and that is spelled ... ? connie : like it sounds . agent : okay . and how would you like to pay for this , miss falconeri ? connie : hmm , let 's see . uh , that should do it . agent : okay . and all i need now is a photo i.d . connie : ah . yeah . there you go . agent : okay . oh , i 'm sorry . this says `` katherine howard . `` kate : that 's right . i 'm kate howard . let me out . i need to get to sonny . starr : everyone keeps saying how horrible the accident was . you know , how tragic and random . sonny : it -- it was all those things , starr . starr : it was murder . cole and hope died because you shot out anthony zacchara 's tires , which caused his car to lose control and crash into ours . sonny : a jury found me not guilty . starr : has a jury ever found you guilty ? i have to do this . i have to do this for cole and hope . sonny : you 're in so much pain you ca n't even think straight . y - y - you -- you think killing me is gon na make the difference ? it 's gon na fill that hole up in your heart ? you 're gon na be able to sleep at night ? you wo n't . starr : you took away the two people that i loved most in this world . you took my daughter , and you took her -- her father from me . they died right here . look . right there . and now you 're going to die here , too . starr : we were so happy that night . hope was asleep in the back . cole had just proposed to me . and we 'd been through so much to be together . we almost gave up so many times , but we knew in our hearts that we wanted to be together , that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together . but you would n't know how that feels , would you ? you do n't understand what it 's like to feel love . am i right ? sonny : on the off chance that i might have loved somebody , that i might have wanted their happiness even more than my own , i would n't want them to destroy themselves for me . you do n't poison your life with hatred and vengeance . that 's not what you do for the people that you 've lost . now , i never met cole , but i 'm sure as hell he would n't want this for you . starr : it does n't matter what cole would want . he 's dead . i 'll never see him again . i 'll never hear his voice . i will never be able to tell him `` yes , i will marry you , `` which is exactly what i was going to say before we saw the headlights . sonny : you see those headlights every night , do n't you ? it 's hard to go to sleep at night because you 're reliving that moment over and over and over again , the moment that changed your life . starr , you ca n't change that , no matter what you do . you can kill me , but it 's still gon na be the same . starr : you think you know so much . do you know what it 's like to see your daughter trapped in the back of a car , to know that she 's scared and you ca n't do anything to save her ? sonny : i know a lot more than you think . mcbain : this is sam morgan 's . i ran into her in the hall . she had it with her . she must have confronted dimestico and he grabbed her . dante : what was sam morgan doing here ? mcbain : i do n't know . we were talking , and this guy was blasting his tv , and i told him to turn it down . he slammed the door in my face . dante : you did n't think to figure out what ronnie might be hiding ? mcbain : at the time , he was just another jerk to me . i was gon na get into it with him , and then , uh , i got a call from anna . she said it was an emergency and i had to go meet her . dante : what was the emergency ? mcbain : you . you were the emergency , all right ? luke and anna , they told me that ronnie grabbed lulu after she figured out that he was the guy that was attacking those dancers . dante : and why go to you ? mcbain : i guess she was desperate , huh ? she could n't go to the regular police , right ? they 're probably out looking for you and not for dimestico . dante : probably . mcbain : anna e - mailed me , uh , this guy , ronnie 's , photo , and i recognized him from the guy at the hotel . i got back here as soon as i could . you know the rest . now he 's got sam and lulu . dante : so , where did he take them ? lulu : [ muffled ] ronnie , let her go . ronnie : you know , you guys could , uh , yell all you want now because there 's nobody around to hear you . lulu : ronnie , let her go . she has nothing to do with this . ronnie : well , you had nothing to do with it , either , but that did n't keep you from sticking your nose into my case , right ? i was this close to nailing padilla 's husband . lulu : you ca n't let an innocent man go to prison for something he did n't do . ronnie : well , why not ? huh ? it happens all the time . innocent people end up doing 5 , 10 , even life , while guilty people like sonny corinthos go free . it 's a flawed system . you should have known better than try and fix it . lulu : well , you should have known better than kidnapping sam . you realize the only way you 're getting out of this alive is if you let her go . ronnie : oh , is -- is that right ? lulu : yeah . ronnie : yeah . lulu : the baby 's father is jason morgan . you think it 's bad enough that you kidnap a cop 's wife ? think of a hit man 's . you 're begging for a bullet between your eyes . ronnie : oh , yeah ? yeah ? so are you . carly : johnny came up with this whole convoluted excuse how kate and connie are two completely different people . jason : go on . carly : well , according to johnny , kate loves sonny , wants nothing more than to be his loyal girlfriend , kate 's completely innocent . her other personality , connie , hates sonny . jason : and `` connie `` was kate 's name before she changed it . carly : apparently connie hates the business , wants kate out of sonny 's life because she 's afraid he 's gon na get her killed , so connie , not kate , planned this whole thing to sleep with johnny so sonny would walk in on them . jason : so , she wanted sonny to see them . carly : yeah , so sonny would break up with kate for good so kate and connie would be safe forever . the end . jason : okay . carly : `` okay `` what ? it 's something johnny made up to justify his affair with kate , turning it into some complicated revenge plot with mental illness involved instead of two lying liars literally screwing each other . jason : do you think johnny was lying about the -- the split - personality thing ? carly : why are you asking me ? clearly i have poor judgment where johnny 's concerned . jason : no , i trust your instincts . do you think he was lying about the whole kate / connie thing ? carly : i do n't know ! i -- he seemed sincere , okay ? he swore up and down that it was true . jason : maybe it is . miss falconeri , why does n't the name on your passport match the one you provided for ticket ? kate : i need to see sonny ! let me out so i can tell him ! connie : will you shut up ? agent : excuse me ? connie : uh ... agent : i 'm sorry , but i must inform you that the policy of the tsa , the faa , and this airline is to require proper identification before issuing you a ticket . connie : of course . look , i 'm sorry . i should have asked you if you would just lower your voice . [ sighs ] okay , you see , i am katherine howard , but i travel under an alias because i am the editor - in - chief of a high fashion magazine called crimson . agent : i do n't follow fashion . connie : yeah . well , i have , uh , many , many , many readers , and i just -- i do n't really want to be harangued by all the fans , so if you could just please get me that flight to rio ... [ computer keys clacking ] agent : security check is backed up . uh , so , tsa is asking all the international travelers to wait here in the ticket area . they will call your flight to go through the security about an hour before departure . flight 529 , seat 2a . that 's a window . first class . you can sit over there , miss falco -- miss howard . connie : [ chuckles ] thanks . johnny : [ sighs ] that 's not bad -- for a sucker punch , you know . michael : yeah , well , you deserve worse for what you did to my mom . how could you cheat on her with kate ? johnny : it 's complicated . michael : it seems simple to me . you wanted to piss off my dad and use my mom to do it . johnny : is that what you think ? michael : the day my mom called me down to the hotel to tell me that you two were together , you sat beside her and you made this big deal about how much you cared . and -- and the whole time , you were sleeping with kate ? johnny : i only slept with kate that one time . michael : okay , why lie about it now ? what does it matter ? my mom already knows who you really are and the lengths you will go to get back at my father . johnny : well , unlike your mother , your father deserves to be hurt . michael : you set him up , did n't you ? you shot anthony 's tires , and you tried to frame my dad for it . johnny : i had nothing to do with that . michael : i tried to explain to starr that you had the best motive , that you would justify anything to get back at my father . but she did n't believe me . i do n't know why , but she did n't believe me . maybe she just wanted to get out of port charles and never look back . johnny : starr did n't leave . michael : what are you talking about ? johnny : she 's still in port charles . sonny : there 's nothing more important to me than my kids . i would lay down my life for them . but sometimes that -- that is not possible . starr : you do n't say . sonny : i do n't know if michael told you , but when he was younger , he was shot . starr : michael ? sonny : the zaccharas put out a hit on me . the bullet ricocheted and hit my son instead . starr : oh , so he got shot because of you . sonny : i 've never felt so helpless in my life in that moment . there was blood all over the floor . and the only thing i could do was hold him . starr : michael lived . sonny : he went into a coma . we did n't know if he was gon na come out alive . he had to be institutionalized , and he was as good as dead for more than a year . starr : [ voice breaking ] but my daughter is dead . she 's dead . i 'll never get her back . i 'll never get her father back . you killed my family , and you deserve this ! sonny : what if you 're wrong ? starr ... what if you 're wrong ? connie : [ sighs ] oh , my bad . agent : it 's okay . connie : rio . agent : [ chuckles ] kate : you ca n't get on that plane , connie . i need to stay here and make things right with sonny . connie : oh , damn it . shut up , kate . kate : no . this is my life . connie : no , it 's my life , all right ? not yours , and you 're not gon na ruin it , all right ? so , just shut up . shut up . hey . girl , you are not gon na believe this . you know kate howard , editor of crimson ? she is in the airport , and she is having a full - on meltdown . yeah , screaming and shouting at herself . oh , i bet she 's on drugs . connie : [ chuckles ] go away . go . nobody wants you here , least of all sonny . kate : you made sure of that , did n't you ? you made sure that sonny walked in on you having sex with johnny . connie : well , it 's for the best , kate . sonny would have got us both killed , you know ? and now we 're both free . well , at least i am . kate : you 're not gon na get rid of me that easily . jason : you really think kate and connie are two different people trapped in the same body ? jason : something like that . carly : [ chuckling ] okay . well , johnny said that kate does n't remember what she does when she 's connie , which i have to tell you , the whole `` my other personality is doing bad things that i do n't remember `` is pretty convenient . jason : i 've seen two very different sides of kate . one minute , she 's attacking me . the next minute , she 's apologizing to me . carly : that 's because she 's one uptight bitch , not two . jason : this has nothing to do with being uptight or some kind of mood swing . i - i see kate unraveling right in front of me . sometimes when she -- she 's being nice , she 's trying to apologize , she seems really terrified . carly : terrified of what ? jason : if she knew about the other personality , maybe kate 's afraid that connie 's gon na completely take over . carly : how did sonny not know this was happening ? jason : i - i tried to tell sonny when spinelli found out that kate was seeing the psychiatrist , but he did n't -- he did n't want to hear it . carly : well , that 's typical . jason : and i told spinelli to keep digging , see if he can get his hands on kate 's medical file , but he could n't . carly : kate has that file . kate and i just got in a huge fight in the hotel lobby , and she had a medical file with her . it fell down . i picked it up . before she could snatch it away , there was a piece of paper that had `` d.i.d. `` written on it right next to her name . jason : w - what 's that mean ? carly : i do n't know . some kind of abbreviation for a medical term for a split personality . jason : did you see anything about dr. keenan trying to have her committed ? carly : no . i only had the paper for a second , but why ? jason : because obviously dr. keenan thinks she 's dangerous . and i 'm starting to wonder if he 's right . ronnie : you waiting for your hubby to come to your rescue ? huh ? i bet jason does n't even know you 're gone . sam : no , but you know who does ? an ex - fbi agent , the guy who came knocking on your door to tell you to turn your tv down . ronnie : oh , yeah . dante told me about him , that joker . lieutenant john mcbain . what is he ? a cop from pennsylvania ? sam : who obviously has friends in high places or he would n't be in port charles heading up an investigation on sonny . ronnie : yeah , well , they would n't need to bring in any outsiders if dante could keep things professional and start seeing sonny as a criminal instead of his father . lulu : you 're gon na hold two women hostage and talk about dante being unprofessional ? he 's a good cop , and he 's good enough to find you . sam : lulu 's right . with a cop like dante and an ex - fbi agent like john mcbain , they 're gon na be able to find us . mcbain : hey . dante : anything ? mcbain : no . no sign of them or where they 're headed . dante : lulu 's already been missing more than 24 hours . we 're running out of time . mcbain : if he wanted them dead , they 'd be dead already , all right ? he 's keeping them for a reason . look , you know this guy , right ? think . where would he take them ? dante : well , he 's got two hostages . he 's not gon na just take them home . people would notice . mcbain : two hostages are hard to move , all right ? maybe it 's somewhere around here . `` haunted star `` mean anything to you ? sonny : if you kill me , how you gon na -- how you gon na feel when you find out that i 'm innocent ? starr : you 're not . sonny : i was acquitted . the police have reopened the investigation . what if -- what if they find proof that somebody else caused the accident and you committed the murder ? starr : you 're the murderer . sonny : johnny zacchara had every motive to do this . i 'm telling you right now . every motive . starr : you can save the speech . i 've already heard it from your son . i do n't believe for a second that johnny framed you . sonny : so , there 's nothing i can say to you to convince you ? starr : no , there 's not , because you took my family . you took a year out of michael 's life . you are the only one that has n't paid for all the damage that you have caused . it 's not fair . sonny : if you pull this trigger , is it gon na make you feel better ? starr : [ voice breaking ] i do n't care how it makes me feel ! this is about my family ! i am doing this for cole and hope ! sonny : what about michael ? michael : starr , why would you leave now ? starr : why would i stay ? the trial 's over . michael : [ sighs ] look , are n't you forgetting something ? starr : everything that i care about is gone . michael : which is exactly why you should stay . look , my dad was found not guilty . starr : congratulations . why do n't you go throw him a party ? michael : what if the jury got it right ? what if my dad did n't cause the accident ? that means the person who killed cole and hope is still out there . sonny : have you thought what it 's gon na do to him ? michael : what do you mean , starr 's still in town ? she swore she was leaving . johnny : yeah , she came to see me . she said you were putting all these ideas in her head telling her that i framed sonny . i set her straight . michael : you 're lying again . if starr was still in town , i 'd know . johnny : why ? because you two have some spiritual connection ? michael : we 're friends . johnny : then why did n't she tell you that she 's still in town or that i bought out her record contract ? michael : you ? johnny : yeah . i 've been thinking a long time about diversifying my interests . starr 's been through a lot , thanks to your father , so i figured she deserved a break . michael : okay , so instead of going back to l.a. , she 's -- she 's staying in town to record an album with you ? johnny : yeah , but something tells me she 's got more important things on her mind . michael : like what ? johnny : like killing your father . oduces nice ! dante : the haunted star is a boat . it 's a floating casino . lulu 's father used to own it . now she does . mcbain : no , no . a casino would be too crowded . dante : it 's been closed for months . mcbain : well , that 's lucky for ronnie . dante : you think that 's where they 're headed ? ronnie : no husbands , no cops , no ex - fbi are gon na come to your rescue for the simple reason -- no one knows where you are . sam : you 're never gon na get away with this . ronnie : sure , i will . i just need to find some other place to stash the two of you . sam : how are you gon na get a cop 's wife and a pregnant woman out of this place without anyone noticing ? ronnie : just shut up so i can think . sam : let 's make a deal . ronnie : did n't i just say to shut up ? sam : the haunted star . no , no , no , no . listen , it 's empty . no one has been there in a really long time . it 's a perfect hideout . you -- you can take lulu there and leave -- let me go , please . ronnie : oh , so -- so you 're my accomplice now ? sam : no , i have a baby to think about . please . please , i know she 's got keys in here somewhere . keys . ronnie : thanks . lulu : [ muffling ] sam : what are you doing ? no , no , no . please do n't . ronnie : you 're coming with me . sam : no , please . do n't do this , ronnie . please . lulu , no . [ muffling ] ronnie , no . [ muffling ] ronnie : come on . let 's go . come on . wait ! stop . go . dante : okay , lulu 's purse was dumped out . maybe the matchbook just fell on the floor . mcbain : purse was dumped out at the bed . the matchbook was found at the door . someone left it there on purpose . dante : maybe ronnie left it there on purpose . maybe we 'll be turning the star upside down and he 's gon na be halfway to niagara falls . mcbain : yeah . maybe . or maybe lulu or sam left it there trying to tell us where ronnie has taken them . dante : lulu 's keys are gone . ronnie would need them to open up the star . mcbain : well , then that 's where we 're headed . dante : i 'm gon na call jason . mcbain : why ? dante : well , his pregnant wife has been abducted . i think he deserves to know . mcbain : hey , it 's your dime , detective , but he ai n't a cop . he do n't belong there . jason : you said connie hates sonny and she wants to destroy him . carly : no , johnny said that . but take that for what it 's worth . jason : okay , the first time that i found that kate was acting strangely was i was actually questioning her about how the -- the cops found the gun in her office , and she started yelling at me , saying that i was accusing her . carly : so ? jason : so , i never accused kate of anything . i was trying to get a timeline for the gun , and i thought maybe , you know , johnny planted it the night of the accident . carly : it was n't johnny . he was in bed with me , and i will never do that again . jason : okay , carly , can you just please -- can you just focus ? the gun was n't sonny 's . and if johnny did n't plant it and nobody else was in the office -- carly : you think the gun is kate 's ? jason : no . maybe it was connie 's . kate : please , connie . i have to get out , and i have to get back to sonny and explain to him that i would never have sex with anyone else . connie : too late there , you know , 'cause sonny just saw you in bed with his worst enemy . [ laughs ] what could you possibly tell him to erase that memory ? kate : the truth . that it was you in bed with johnny . connie : eh . you know , it 's a good thing straitjackets are in this summer , 'cause shadybrook 's gon na have one with your name on it . kate : good . i have to get help . connie : i 'm all the help you need , kate . i mean , you 're too weak to make your own decisions . kate : i 've already decided . i want to have a life with sonny . connie : what life ? sonny got you shot at your own wedding . and no matter how many times i put you in that bloodstained dress , you still went back to him , kate . kate : i love sonny , and i 'm not gon na let you win . connie : oh , but i already won , kate . the second i crawled into bed with johnny , i won . you see ? there is n't kate howard . she does n't exist . you made up her name , and you turned your back on everything . you turned your back on me . i 'm the real one . constanza louise falconeri . you 're the alter , and you 're finished . [ chuckles ] boo ! face it , kate . your life is over . but mine ? oh - ho- ho ! mine is just beginning . michael : there 's no way starr would try and kill my father . johnny : she wants justice , michael . she sure as hell did n't get it in court . so , what other options does that leave her ? michael : what exactly did starr tell you ? johnny : she said she ca n't stand the idea of sonny walking around when her family 's in the ground . she wants him to pay . michael : and did you offer to make that happen ? johnny : no , but something tells me if i had , she would have turned me down . see , this is personal for starr . she wants to be the one to pull the trigger , which is fine by me . i just do n't want her using my gun to do it . michael : wait , starr has a gun ? sonny : i know you care about my son . starr : michael ? i barely know him . sonny : you cared for him enough to stay in his apartment . starr : he felt guilty that he could n't save cole and hope . he let me crash on his couch . that 's all . sonny : think about what you just said . he -- he tried to save your family . that does n't mean anything to you ? starr : of course it does . sonny : good , because if you pull that trigger , it 's gon na be even more painful for michael than if he took the bullet himself . michael : you gave starr a gun ? johnny : no . she was here . she saw me put it away . i turned around to make a phone call , hung up , turned back around , she was gone . so was my gun . michael : why did n't you do anything ? johnny : i was about to when some hothead sucker - punched me at my door . look , michael , if anybody wants sonny dead , i 'm not gon na complain . i just do n't want starr to do it in a way that can be traced back to me . besides , the poor girl 's been through enough . michael : i got to call my dad . [ sighs ] voicemail . damn it . jason : all right . let 's just say that connie is real . maybe she 's the one who shot out anthony 's tires and tried to frame sonny . carly : she 'd have to be one hell of a shot , jason . jason : that 's the problem i 'm having right now to figure that out , because whoever shot out anthony 's tires is an expert . but maybe connie is that good . carly : that 's a stretch . jason : it would explain why kate was afraid to talk about the gun and why dr. keenan was trying to have her committed . carly : a car accident caused by a woman who ca n't remember because she was someone else at the time ? that is crazy ! jason : crazy or not , i got to find her . carly : she 's at the airport . she had the doorman call her a car to the airport . kate : eventually you 're gon na have to let me out . and when you do , i 'm taking back my life . my life ! do you hear me , connie ? connie : oh , yeah . i 'm sure you just ca n't wait to get your hair in a bun and try on matching sweater sets . [ chuckles ] kate : i ca n't wait to fix everything you 've broken . i should be in shadybrook right now . i was with dr. keenan . he was about to call sonny and have him meet us there . connie : yeah , there is no way in hell i was gon na let that happen . kate : what did you do ? connie ! what did you do ? ! connie : well , let me just say that i do n't think dr. keenan 's gon na feeling up to treating any of his patients anytime soon . kate : [ gasps ] [ voice breaking ] this has gone too far . i 'm not gon na let you hurt anybody else . connie : oh , really ? i 'd like to see you try and stop me . that 's what i thought . see ya . michael : dad ? dad , are you here ? [ computer keys clacking ] michael : oh , my god . starr . [ gasps ] where 'd you take him ? sonny : you kill me , my suffering 's over . starr : actually , i 'm kind of hoping that there 's a hell and that you 'll burn for eternity . sonny : michael 's the one you 're gon na be punishing . starr : stop hiding behind your son . it 's pathetic . sonny : it 's true . he could n't rescue your family , so he made it his mission to rescue you . starr : i do n't need rescuing . sonny : if -- if -- if this goes down as you 're planning it , michael is gon na blame himself . he 's not gon na be able to sleep at night . he 's gon na go over this in his mind , and he 's gon na wonder why he ever trusted you and what he could have done to stop this . starr : there 's nothing he could do to stop it . you did this to yourself . sonny : you do n't think my son 's gon na grieve for me ? how would you feel if your dad was gone forever ? starr : do n't compare yourself to my father . on the worst day he ever lived , he could not be nearly as hateful as you are . sonny : your father loves you , right ? hell , i even know that 'cause he tried to kill me to get justice for you . so , how 's he gon na feel if you throw away your whole life by taking mine ? lulu : ronnie , w - w - wait , wait , wait . there 's still a way out of this . if you turn yourself in , you -- you get a lawyer . you say that you had a nervous breakdown -- ronnie : it 's not gon na happen . sam : please . come on . there 's gon na be so many people gunning for you . dante , jason , everyone in sonny 's organization . do n't ! please ! luke spencer ! john mcbain ! ronnie : look , if i 'm gon na die , i 'm gon na take you guys with me ! lulu : you have n't killed anyone yet ! there 's a way out of this ! sam : please . just run ! go ! you do n't even have to stay here ! ronnie : i ca n't leave you here ! i ca n't leave you here ! i need to get a head start ! lulu : okay , so you 're gon na kill a pregnant woman and your best friend 's wife ? ronnie : i do n't have a choice . lulu : ronnie , ronnie , ronnie . you are not thinking clearly . you shoot and people are gon na come running . ronnie : listen , nobody 's been here for months , okay ? there 's nobody around . i - i do n't even need to use my silencer . dante : we need a shot . mcbain : hey . what are you doing ? dante : you heard him . he 's starting to lose it . he 's gon na start shooting . mcbain : you know the drill . we do n't move till we have a plan . connie : [ sighs ] agent : passengers holding tickets for flight 529 nonstop service to rio de janeiro should proceed to the security - screening area . connie : so sorry , kate . connie 's got a plane to catch . johnny : starr manning . no , do n't hurt her . just bring her back to me . all right ? and be careful . i got a reason to believe she 's armed . sonny : you know , this is not the first time a gun has been pointed at me , right ? starr : i know it 'll be the last . sonny : you do n't think i could have taken that gun away from you by now ? i could have ripped it out of your hands back at the house . i could have done it in the car . starr : then why did n't you ? sonny : 'cause i knew you needed to do this . i knew you needed to tell me how angry you are and how much grief you have . starr : what are you ? my shrink ? sonny : i 'm the man -- i 'm the man whose life you 're about to take . i am michael 's father . starr : and i 'm hope 's mother . and i was going to be cole 's wife , but then they died over there . and now we 're back to where we started . sonny : what you 're about to do or what you want to do is not an easy thing . it 's never easy to take anybody 's life , especially when you feel righteous in the morning . starr : but you 're a mob boss , right ? you 're used to doing that . you kill to get what you want . sonny : this is not justice . starr : maybe not . but it 's enough for now .

tracy : i love you all . the people that are in this room are the ones i hold in my heart . the time has come for me to step out of my father 's shadow . i need to make a life of my own . i ca n't do it here ... [ inhales sharply ] ... which brings me to my announcement . i 'm leaving . ned : mother ... what does that mean , `` leaving `` ? tracy : i called you all here to say goodbye . [ scene_break ] nathan : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i mean , was there a reason why i could n't take off my ring ? carly : no . no , no reason at all . [ sniffles ] we should , um , get this started , and , uh , we should let our lawyers do all the talking . [ sniffles ] great , here 's mine now . diane , sonny , this is my attorney , martina morales . diane : ms. morales , diane miller . it 's a pleasure to meet you . your reputation precedes you . martina : as does yours . diane : [ chuckles ] carly : martina 's from the west coast . she comes highly recommended . martina : and you must be michael corinthos jr . sonny : yeah . uh , most people call me sonny . diane : okay , well , now that the formalities are done , why do n't we get down to business ? the purpose of this meeting is to determine how much common ground lies between you and carly . because i think , with any luck , we can avoid a lengthy arbitration . so ... let 's begin , shall we ? [ scene_break ] dillon : wait , mom , what are you talking about ? monica : tracy , if you 're doing this for some sort of dramatic effect , it 's really not working . tracy : no . i 'm not . i 'm -- i 'm gon na make a new life for myself somewhere -- something that i hope will be worthwhile . and dear old daddy is going to bankroll me . he may have cut me out of his will , but he left me this painting . and the proceeds of the sale ... will be more than enough . ned : wait a minute . i do n't believe this . [ doorbell rings ] tracy : oh ! the food is here . excuse me . brunch is served . hayden : pizza for brunch ? tracy : oh , it 's not the time of day , it 's about the significance of the gathering . dillon : it 's a quartermaine tradition . we usually limit it to thanksgiving , but it sounds like this might be the last time we 're all actually together as a family for a while . tracy : do n't say it like it 's a bad thing . dillon : well , mom , you do n't have to travel the world to find your purpose . you 've left a wonderful legacy right here in port charles . tracy : i know i have ... two beautiful sons . hayden : just to be clear , what exactly are you planning to do ? tracy : i am going to sell that painting . and then , my options are open . i just want to do something worthwhile . i do n't have any definite plans yet . ned : so , there 's no way we can talk you out of this ? tracy : no . and believe me , i am not happy about leaving the two of you . it has been a thrill for me to have the three of us under the same roof . [ sighs ] but the two of you have been living your own lives for years . it 's time for me to do the same . ned : do you have any idea how much we 're gon na miss you ? dillon : not that we 're not gon na see you again . i mean ... wherever you land , we are coming to visit you -- unless you change your mind . tracy : no . i 'm not gon na change my mind , but i am gon na miss you . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] amy : detective west , i do n't know if you remember me . you interviewed me when all those people were being murdered at the hospital . i 'm a nurse -- amy driscoll . nathan : yeah , i remember . something i can help you with ? amy : you 're maxie 's husband , right ? so , you would know -- [ chuckles ] ... does she ever honor her commitments , or does she always flake at the first chance she gets ? nathan : and , uh , what is it that maxie has flaked on ? amy : [ chuckles ] the nurses ' ball . i was getting off an all - night shift when lucy coe came running up to me , going on and on about how it was up to me to save the show , and not that i did n't completely rescue the opening number last year , but i 'm the talent . i ca n't work behind the scenes . nathan : [ scoffs ] perish the thought . amy : so , where is maxie -- eating bon bons while the rest of us work till we drop ? nathan : actually , maxie is in portland . she , uh , she took a job for a couple months , decided to stay a little longer . amy : i 've never been to portland . i hear it 's nice . not that i 'll have time to go visit . i 'll be working night and day on the ball . [ chuckles ] not to mention my actual job -- saving lives . [ chuckles ] nathan : look , i 'm sure if maxie had known that -- amy : but she did n't ! because why bother thinking about the little people ? [ sighs ] i guess i really should n't be surprised . she 's still the same self- centered witch she always was . nathan : excuse me ? amy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] diane : so , as far as major assets are concerned , it has already been agreed that all the trusts for sonny 's children will remain untouched . that leaves , in the way of legitimate holdings , corinthos coffee llc , which includes perks coffeehouse and kiosk chain , pozzulo 's restaurants , one , two , three , four , five -- well , numerous warehouses -- cargo ships , trucks , all of which have been transferred -- martina : let me stop you right there . it was my understanding that mr. corinthos signed all of his major holdings over to my client months ago . he has no claim whatsoever . they belong to her . diane : well , considering that sonny and carly are still married , one might make the case that he still has an equal right to those assets . equal right -- that is , of course , unless you want carly not to keep my client in a style of living to which he has become accustomed . [ chuckles ] martina : [ chuckles ] i , for one , am very interested in those assets that you 've listed , as well as those you did n't . diane : what would those be ? martina : okay , let 's not play games . we know that the assets were put into carly 's name to prevent the government from seizing them , so , if mr. corinthos brings his demands before a judge , i 'll have no choice but to introduce the sugar plantation in puerto rico . oh , and let 's not forget the private island housing its own casino . sonny : knock yourself out . my businesses are completely legit . martina : well , i have to say , i 'm impressed , mr. corinthos . [ chuckles ] you operate the first squeaky - clean casino in history . i mean , going over these books , i mean , i 'm shocked at how ... low the profit margins are . does n't the house always win ? sonny : our profits are in line with any operation of that size . martina : mm . and yet , you maintain a rather lavish lifestyle . how on earth do you pay for it ? it 's almost as if you have some secret off - shore accounts . but that ca n't be the case . as i 'm sure i do n't have to remind you , failure to provide a complete accounting of your assets is a felony . shall i go on ? [ scene_break ] dillon : so , you 're selling the painting and you are heading off into the horizon . i just -- i ca n't believe we 're saying goodbye . you know , i mean , i -- i 'm used to being the one that 's walking out the front door , heading on to parts unknown . i guess it 's easier to say goodbye to the ones you love when you have an adventure waiting on the other side . tracy : you have a really big heart . you are more than capable of dealing with life 's ups and downs . in fact , i think that heart of yours makes you the strongest quartermaine . dillon : [ chuckles ] tracy : come here . ned : let 's eat . olivia : okay . finn : are you sure you know what you 're doing ? tracy : oh , yes . i stayed away from the pineapple . [ chuckles ] finn : and i agree with you -- the pineapple is disgusting . but just taking off with no fixed destination in mind , just some vague notion of doing something significant -- there 's so many things that could go wrong with that . tracy : i 'm as tough as they come . hayden : i happen to agree . and i can speak from experience when i say you do n't trust anyone until they 've earned it -- and maybe not even then . i 'm gon na go get that piece of pineapple . tracy : i think my outlook has changed a little bit in the last year , and i owe that to you . finn : for saving your life ? you do n't have to thank me . tracy : no . you convinced me to put my life in your hands , and i took a leap of faith . and it paid off better than i could have imagined . finn : well , you know , speaking of , uh , paying off , when are we gon na finish that latest round of backgammon ? tracy : finn , we did -- last week . in fact , you owe me $ 150 , but i am willing to forgive the debt . finn : i 'm not . let 's see -- think we can fit in a quick game right now , double or nothing ? tracy : not today . time 's running out . finn : i 've never had a friend like you , tracy . tracy : likewise . [ scene_break ] amy : i 'm guessing you do n't share my opinion of maxie -- otherwise , you would n't have married her . [ chuckles ] or maybe you like the self - centered diva act . although , you do n't look like a glutton for punishment . [ chuckles ] oh , my god , amy , stop . why the hell are you still talking ? nathan : i was wondering the same thing . amy : [ chuckles ] sorry -- really . nathan : [ clears throat ] amy : but this is the second time in the last month that maxie 's bailed on me . she left dillon and me to fend for ourselves with the port charles high school reunion . nathan : ah , i see , so that 's it ? that 's why you have an issue with maxie ? it just goes back to high school ? amy : [ scoffs ] nathan : what happened ? amy : i tried out for cheerleading . nathan : wait , maxie was a cheerleader ? amy : maxie was the cheerleader . she was the captain of the squad . my only goal was to impress her , and at my audition , i nailed it . but ... i did n't make the squad . in fact , i was the first name on the cut list . and a couple days later , i heard that maxie thought i `` was n't the right type . `` we both know what that means . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : hey , i just wanted to tell you how proud i am of you . to venture out and try something new . have that much faith in yourself . that is why you have always been my hero . tracy : i do n't know about that . lulu : i do . [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] lulu : sorry . [ ringing continues ] lulu : it 's maxie . i 'll call her back . tracy : take it . take it , take it , take it . i insist . [ ringing continues ] tracy : you have an amazing daughter . laura : yes , i do . and i owe a lot of that to you . you were a mother to her when i could n't be . you know , i 'm never gon na be able to truly thank you for that . you set an amazing example -- generosity , bravery , a larger - than - life spirit . tracy : [ laughs ] laura : you -- you can do anything you put your mind to . tracy : yeah , sometimes , i need a little help -- like i did in turkey . laura : yeah . tracy : thank you for going with me . laura : you know , i 'm surprised to say it , but it was really my pleasure . tracy : do you think we could have been doing this all along ? laura : in another life , yeah . i think we could have been friends . tracy : i do , too . [ hug ] [ scene_break ] amy : i 'm not saying this to be conceited , but i happen to like the way i look . it 's other people who have the problem with it -- including your wife . nathan : okay , she was a high - school girl at the time , okay ? and the last time i checked , high - school kids were not exactly known for tact and diplomacy . and you do n't even know that she 's the one who said this . this is all based on -- on what ? on stuff you heard other people say ? amy : other people who knew her -- just like i did . trust me , this is vintage maxie . nathan : okay , well , modern maxie is very different . and modern maxie would feel really bad about what happened . amy : hmm . it 's too bad she is n't here to prove your theory . nathan : yeah . too bad . [ scene_break ] michael : i told you , i do n't want to do business with a company that has questionable ethics . no . no , you got to find me another ... you know what , i - i 'll call you back . i 'm gon na sleep on it , okay ? all right . tracy : that was an abrupt about - face . michael : [ chuckles ] tracy : not that i was listening . michael : yeah , well , sometimes , you got to make compromises . tracy : [ laughs ] that does n't sound like you . michael : i 'm trying to be more like you . tracy : you what ? michael : yeah , you err on the side of pragmatism -- doing the most good with the least amount of harm . and now that you 're leaving , i , uh , i got to do the same . tracy : michael , i have absolute faith that elq will thrive under your leadership . and if the company tanks , there will be hell to pay . michael : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] martina : if we have to hire a forensic accountant , we 'll be more than happy to . carly : martina , we talked about this . i do not want to bring into question the legality of sonny 's off - shore holdings . martina : of course . the client is always right . you might want to thank your wife for her generosity -- o - or you could reciprocate by not fighting for the assets that rightfully belong to her . sonny : do n't do this . carly : [ stammers ] you did this . sonny : what do you mean ? carly : what do i mean ? you lost your temper , you made some bad decisions , and , you know , most people have to pay the consequences . now it 's your turn . [ scene_break ] tracy : i did not mean to steal your thunder . changing your name to quartermaine is lovely , but it 's not necessary . you have always always been a quartermaine , whether you bear the name or not . ned : i intend to bear it with pride . besides , we both know this house needs an edward quartermaine under its roof . tracy : true . ned : [ inhales deeply ] so ... [ sighs ] ... come on . out with it . is n't it time for my goodbye speech ? tracy : [ sighs ] you 're my rock . you always have been ... and you always will . come on , bring it in . ned : [ chuckles ] tracy : i love you . ned : i love you , mother . [ chuckles ] [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] goodbye , mother . monica : well , we just heard from the hangar , and the jet is all fueled and ready to take off . and your car is gon na be here shortly . tracy : how shortly ? monica : [ inhales deeply ] a few minutes . tracy : this just got really real . monica : getting cold feet ? tracy : maybe a little . monica : i do n't know what i 'm gon na do without you . tracy : [ laughs ] celebrate , no doubt . monica : no , i do n't think so . and i do n't know what happened . i do n't know what happened during all those years of us snarking at each other and back- biting , and ... [ sighs ] ... all the things that we did . but somewhere along the line , you went from being my sister - in - law ... to my sister . and if you thought that i ... hated you -- i did n't . [ voice breaking ] i love you . tracy : thank you . [ scene_break ] nathan : it 's just , when maxie said that she was gon na stay in portland , i was just completely caught off guard . amy : makes sense . nathan : but i should n't have been , though . you know , her -- her kid is there , her dream job is there . the only thing that 's not there is me . so ... so i got to ask myself if there 's even any room for me in maxie 's life anymore . [ scene_break ] martina : perhaps we 've acted too hastily . diane : i agree . after all , we are here to negotiate . there 's no use in painting ourselves into a corner . martina : [ chuckles ] my client agrees completely . sonny : i agree . we should compromise . we should take out of the marriage what we brought into it . so , uh , carly 's gon na keep the house , the hotel , her real- estate holdings , assets . i 'll do the same . as far as community property we acquired while we were together ... she can keep it , with my compliments . carly : well , then , i guess i will see you in court . we 're done here . diane : all right . i guess i ... need to set up a session with a mediator . [ door closes ] martina : i have to say , this was unexpected . sonny : what the hell kind of game are you playing ? [ scene_break ] amy : so , what i hear is you coming up with reasons for why your marriage ca n't survive with maxie in portland . but i bet if you tried , you could come up with just as many for why it could . nathan : what , are you saying i got to move to portland ? amy : i 'm saying your marriage can survive . either you move to portland or you do things long - distance for a while . but if you really love maxie , you 'll figure out a way to make it work . nathan : yeah , i mean , we have overcome bigger obstacles than this and became stronger for it . so ... hmm . you 're pretty good at this advice thing . amy : i told you to think of me as your bartender , remember ? nathan : mm . is that what you did before you became a nurse ? amy : nope . but i do have four brothers who used to come to me with all their girl problems . i ca n't say they always followed my advice , but they were usually happier when they did . nathan : left to their own devices , guys do n't always make the best decisions . amy : [ laughs ] nathan : like this shirt -- which i 'm gon na go change right now . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , until the divorce is final , i think you should just talk to my attorney . diane : and i 'd agree with you -- if i were approaching you as sonny 's attorney . but i 'm not . i 'm approaching you as a friend -- to both of you . someone who was privileged to be in the room when the two of you decided to have morgan committed . carly : why would you bring that up ? diane : just hear me out . sonny could never have done that without you . he needed you . and i will dare say you needed him . carly , you 're not the first couple to divorce after a child 's death , and maybe it 's what the two of you need . maybe it 's just how you need to process your grief . and i understand that he 's provoked you . i understand you want him to hang on to his assets . he 's been arbitrary . he 's been unfair . but i have to ask you -- what part of any of this surprises you ? [ scene_break ] martina : there 's no game . sonny : you expect me to believe you had no hand in what happened last night ? carly put you up to this ? get me in my bed so you can get all the information you can ? make my life a living hell ? martina : no , my client did n't ask me to sleep with you ! she has no idea we even met before today -- i mean , neither did i . sonny : so , what are you saying , this is just a coincidence ? martina : oh , god . [ scoffs ] as far as i was concerned , you were just a random stranger i met in a bar . when i saw you with carly this morning , i was as shocked as you are . sonny : okay , let 's -- let 's just say that i believe you . you are still my wife 's lawyer . there 's got to be some kind of violation here . so , we got to come clean -- martina : no , no . we will do no such thing . [ scene_break ] ned : mother , your car 's here . your car is here ! the driver is loading your luggage and the painting . tracy : okay . um ... [ laughing ] i guess this is it . [ laughs ] oh . the two of you need to take care of each other for me , okay ? lulu : yes , ma'am . tracy : [ sniffles ] whew . [ chuckles ] and you two ... you taught me something really , really important -- we do n't have unlimited time . you need to quit wasting it . hayden : excuse me ? tracy : you heard me . michael ... you need to remember what i said . i expect elq to keep turning a profit . michael : well , you can count on me , tracy . tracy : i know that . and i expect to be invited to a premiere sooner rather than later . dillon : i ca n't make any promises . tracy : well , if you need a patron , contact this man . it 's time for elq to branch out . olivia ... ... this son of mine has a really bad habit of trying to take care of everyone . [ voice breaking ] can i tell you ... how grateful i am that ... you 're the one who 's gon na take care of him . olivia : [ chuckles ] tracy : [ sniffles ] and , monica ... monica : yes ? tracy : [ laughs ] i 'm a little worried about your decorating ideas . monica : [ chuckles ] well , do n't worry , 'cause i will leave our house exactly the way you left it . tracy : do n't you mean your house ? the one that alan gave you ? monica : i know what i said . tracy : give me your hands . i cherish you all . i got to go . [ door opens ] tracy : [ returns and hugs monica ] [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] nathan : i feel better already . amy : [ chuckles ] you do n't look so bad , either . nathan : i meant about the advice thing . i owe you one . amy : i do accept tips . [ laughs ] just kidding . [ chuckles ] with all the work i 'm gon na be doing , i wo n't have time to spend it . nathan : about that -- i 'm , uh , i 'm sorry maxie flaked on you . amy : thanks . but the show must go on , right ? [ chuckles ] we 'll figure out a way to make this year 's nurses ' ball even bigger and better than last year . nathan : well , if you want , i could help . amy : you seriously want to help plan the nurses ' ball ? nathan : no . and i do n't know how much , uh , help i 'll be , but i 'm at your service . amy : i 'm going to hold you to that . nathan : okay . amy : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] diane : you understand sonny better than anybody on this planet ever will . you understand his failings , his flaws , and you also know that when he is hurt , his first reaction is to lash out . but you do n't have to respond in kind . you can choose to compromise . look , if not for yourself or for sonny , then do it for those of us -- the people that you have in common , myself included -- who do n't want to see you tear each other limb from limb again ! please . carly : okay , did you , um , say any of this to sonny ? diane : are you ridiculous ? of course , i have n't said it to sonny . sonny is less than reasonable on the best of days . and now he 's just lost his son , and he 's facing losing the love of his life . and on top of all that , his pride is hurt . so , no . anything i have to say will fall on deaf ears -- which is why you have to be the bigger person here . carly : that 's not gon na happen , diane . i ca n't do that . diane : well , then , i - i must inform you , regretfully , that i am [ clears throat ] legally obligated to carry out my client 's wishes to the best of my ability -- however much i may disagree with those wishes . and i regret everything that 's about to happen . and the whole stupid , tragic part is that ultimately , i think you and sonny are gon na regret it , too .

[ scene_break ] dillon : look , i realize how this looks . i mean , you guys probably think this is personal , right , that georgie and me ran away to be together , but that 's not the case . this is -- this is work . felicia and mac : work ? dillon : yeah , you know , ned hired me to direct a video project for l & b . felicia : well , what does georgie have to do with it ? dillon : she 's my creative consultant , and this is our artist , ashley g . ashley : ashley b. , moron . dillon : ashley b . mac : well , ashley b. , if ned is foolish enough to entrust your career to his teenage brother , that 's between you and him , but georgie will definitely not be participating . ashley : wait a minute , teenage ? dillon told me he was a film student and won first prize at sundance . mac : he was lying . you see , that 's what dillon does . he 's not a director or a film student . no , he is a dishonest , manipulative , spoiled brat who needs to learn how to stay away from my daughter . georgie : why wo n't you listen to him ? he 's telling the truth . felicia : georgie , you and i need to go home . let 's go . georgie : god , of all people , i thought you would understand this . felicia : let 's go . mac : for the last time , dillon , you stay away from georgie or i will find grounds to arrest you , hmm ? ashley : so , you 're nothing but a big liar . dillon : uh -- yeah , you know , you ca n't -- you ca n't really trust what that guy says . he does n't like me very much . ashley : yeah , i got that . now , get this -- i 'm suing ned ashton and l & b for fraud . dillon : fraud ? ashley : as in trying to pass you off as a director . tell ned he 'll be hearing from my lawyers . [ scene_break ] ric : all right , alexis , what 's this all about ? why do you feel the need to pull me out of a pretrial hearing for a private conference ? alexis : i 'm giving you one last chance to recuse yourself before i humiliate you in the courtroom . ric : really ? and how do you plan on accomplishing that ? alexis : you slept with the woman that you 're prosecuting . that is a clear conflict of interest . ric : ok , yeah . well , you know what , i thought about that , and that 's why i went to the judge before the pretrial hearing and i explained to her that i had had a brief affair with faith . i also reassured her that there are no residual feelings on either side , and she agreed that my ability to prosecute this case had not been compromised . however , you can get faith up on the stand and bombard her with questions about our involvement together , but then i think you run the risk of giving a somewhat unprofessional view of how you feel about my sex life . alexis : you conceited ass . ric : the point is if you 're going to bring up the issue , then you 're going to beg the question . this could be a hell of a lot more embarrassing for you than for me .

[ scene_break ] georgie : how can you be so totally unfair ? dillon 's dream is to be a director , and you undercut him in front of his star ! mac : he obviously lied about his qualifications -- not that it surprises me . felicia : no , what is surprising is that you went along with it . you allowed dillon to claim that you were a film student , too . mac : proving -- proving that he is a bad influence . georgie , felicia and i have discussed this , and we both agree -- if you 're caught with dillon one more time , we 're sending you to boarding school .

's murder , letting carly nicely off the hook . hmm ? courtney : ok . all right . guilty on all counts . now , come on , jax . what 's wrong with that ? carly is innocent . jax : what if rachel 's innocent , too ? or does n't that matter , as long as you make her look guilty ? no , i 'm serious . i mean , how far are you willing to take this for carly ? or is this about protecting someone else ? jason : stan , hack around and find out where alexis was the night a.j . was killed for me . ok , thanks . sam : it never stops for you , does it ? jason : it gets busy sometimes , yeah . sam : `` sometimes `` ? it 's been nonstop chaos since the day we got together , one disaster after another . i just -- you know , jason , i worry t you . i never see you recharge anymore . jason : oh , see , i 'm doing it right now . alexis : have either of you seen ric ? jason : he left . alexis : thanks . jason : you know , it 's funny . we were just talking about you . alexis : is that so ? jason : yeah -- about the possibility that you killed a.j . alexis : that was direct . absurd , but direct . i believe i was t of town , and i do n't think i had a motive . jason : well , that 's funny , because that 's exactly what your husband said -- except you do , because if sonny is convicted for a.j . 's murder , you wo n't have to worry about him taking kristina away again . sonny : listen to me , carly . reese has no reason to set you up for anything . you 're not a threat to her . she knows that you and i are just , you know , co- parents and friends to a hurting little boy . the real issue here is michael . and somehow , she helps him , which means she helps you . carly : she 's helping herself , sonny . sonny : reese is the one who brought michael home before , you know , anyone can hear him say that you killed a.j . so for whatever reason , she calms michael down when the rest of us can't . carly : yeah , and why is that , agent marshall ? what 's your secret ? reese : maybe michael does n't feel pressure from me . carly : oh -- sonny : look , carly , carly -- carly , what difference does it make ? she gets through to michael . instead of attacking her , you should be grateful . carly : ok , i 'm sorry . i ca n't be grateful to someone who tries to keep me away from my son . do n't add your name to that list . michael needs to hear it from me that i did n't kill a.j . heeeds to see the truth in my eyes . i 'm telling you , sonny , i 'm seeing my boy . sonny : all right , but you know what ? you need to be careful . carly ? car -- reese : carly , do n't let michael see you upset . reese : you did n't have to stand up for me like that . sonny : it was n't a chore . reese : i care about michael , and i do want to help him , and that 's all that 's going on here . sonny : is it ? if you 're one of nearly 14 million adults ... alexis : a.j . quartermaine was a despicable human being who used children , including mine , to wage war against pretty much everybody in sight . i think he got exactly what he deserved , but it did n't happen at my hand . jason : well , i did n't expect you to admit it . alexis : your desperation to protect carly is clouding your otherwise logical mind , jason . if i wanted to frame sonny for killing a.j . , one would think that i would find some evidence to connect him to the crime first . if carly is convicted , god only knows how many more people you all will massacre . i am confident that he will do somethinckless and stupid and i will get my daughter back . it 's nice to see you , sam . sam : wow . ok , that was surreal . i do n't think i 've ever seen alexis so calm . jason : well , i probably think she 's actually telling the truth about not killing a.j . but there 's only one reason why alexis would be so controlled . she 's got to have some kind of plan of action against sonny , and she thinks it 's going to work . reese : you and i took a stab at more . and then carly walks in , sees us , runs out , trips the house alarm , and i like to think of that as my wake - up call . sonny : well , it does n't really have to be . i mean , there 's a lot of things going on right now , you know , and things will settle . reese : and you and i will still be from two different worlds that have no business crossing . sonny : sounds rational . sonny : you go ahead and weigh what you really ink about that , and you get back to me carly : mr. man ? i have to explain something to you . it 's important . it 's ok . you can just listen . i know you had a bad dream about me , and some of the things were real and some weren't . yes , it 's true that i was in a.j . 's room when he died . but i did not kill him . michael : leave me alone . michael : liar ! get away from me ! get away ! get away from me ! get away from me ! geay now ! sonny : hey , hey -- reese : michael ? oh , honey -- sonny : come on , come on , come on . reese : it 's ok . shh . it 's ok , sweetie . shh . oh , yeah . `` take a walk with me again , like we did before , up the beach and down again , to listen to the shore . `` ric : john , you might want to keep yourself available for questioning . i 'm putting together a case against your daughter . john : i 've already told you everything i know . and , you know , ric , your time might be better spent going after the real killer before they so thoroughly cover their tracks you never get a conviction . carly is ient . ric : oh , right , because you , her devoted , `` always trying to score points `` father saw her on the fourth floor at the time a.j . was murdered . john , how long do you think that that alibi is going to hold up under scrutiny ? john : ok , forget the alibi . you do n't have evidence . ric : why ? because i do n't have an eyewitness yet ? i 'm confident in what i have , and i 'm going forward with it . john : ric , wait . elizabeth : emily , you have got to see that you are not being fair to nikolas . ily : i know , elizabeth , and i 'm sorry about that . elizabeth : oh , really ? well , you know what ? that 's just not good enough , bee las is an amaz person who happens to love you beyond all reason , and you 've got him sitting in there thinking that he 's done something wrong . now , yake your little self back in there and you tell him that connor raped you and let help youk up the pieces . em oh , but he't this , elizabeth . elizabeth : and a divorce will ? emily , you 've got to stop letting connor whid honest with your husband . emily : i can't . elizabeth : so that 's it ? you 're just going to leave without even telling him goodbye ? emily : i can't . i -- i can'tizh , no elizabeth : it 's the most wrong you 've even been , emily . i hope you do n't regret this . jax : i 've gotten pretty good at predicting what sonny will do . if carly comes close to bein cotee'et o of the country and jason will probably be her watchdog . but if he and carly get caught , jason will go to priso asl . well , if you pin a.j . 's murder on rachel , then , you know , you get to save them both , right ? courtney : i do n't intend tomeherj.urder , j that 's not my style . you shouldw that by now . jax : no , your style has been , you know , known to fluctuate when jason 's involved . : me on . i honestly bve that rachel could have done it , jax . looke hates a.j . just as much as anyone else does , and whatra g tre iflys ic jax : what if carly -- what if carly did it ? courtney : jax , carly is not a killer , ok ? yeah , maybe -- maybe f ofe handle simes , maybe she does crazy things , but she 's not -- jax : no , carly had more reason to despise a.j . than rachel ecould . tney : rly is focused on michael , jax . she d have left a.j . 's payback to sny or jason . i mean , come on ! ja , s , i mean , a.j . caused a lot pain in carly 's life , ok ? and hate bs people snap . it can happen to anyone . ric : something you want to tell me ? john : yeah . just a word of precaution , ric . ar a very precarious position . up unt a couple of dag you were therime suspect in a.j . 's murder . ric : your point ? hn : witha solid case against carly -- which you do n't ve and you will not -- you 're going to look like ol in court . now , maybe you do n't care about gse that . uld . ric : hmm . no . appearances matter to you . i understand that . ere 's a oftiacoh it wout be tooe for you se that bribe moneythat 've been taking iner a witness to putj.uratny doorstnstead o your dter 's . and by way , haou had any ck fin out exa who 's en payyou ? hm john : . c : wellat stallnot gotok for loso why do n't you out ?

's world , too , and it is a pretty sick and twisted place to be . it 's just we were both victims , rachel , just like carly and michael and alan and a whole list of others . look , your recovery is going to be very emotional and physical , and i do n't think that you should go through it alone . so what do you think ? i mean , do you want to move back into the loft ? sam : you know , i 'm going to go check in on michael . reese : hey , maybe you can find his little ball , because it seems to focus him . sam : ok , ok . good . reese : carly , i 'm aware of how excruciating this must be for you . but you have to remember that michael -- your bond with him is n't permanently broken . he 's just having a hard time trusting right now . carly : he does n't seem to have a hard time trusting you . i 'm sorry . sonny was right . i should be thankful to anyone who 's trying to help michael . what was that poem about the beach ? reese : oh . it was just something that i used to say to jamie , and it just came back to me . he -- he loved the ocean , and every time i hear it , i think of him . carly : michael loves the ocean , too . reese : well , you know , maybe when this whole thing is over you could take him . carly : maybe i will . i -- i apologize for slapping you . you were right about rushing it with michael . it 's just -- it 's just hard . reese : i understand . carly : i know you do -- better than most . you lost a son . i lost a son and i got him back , and now he 's lost to me again , even though he 's in the same room . it kills me to know that michael thinks that he saw me kill a.j . please do n't give up on him . please . reese : i won't . promise . jason : maybe we just get carly out of the country and deal with the consequences later . sonny : jason , she wo n't go . jason : we make her go , sonny . sonny : go ahead , then . drug carly . tie her up . drag her halfway across the world . lock her up in a room . you know she 's going to drive you crazy trying to escape every five minutes . ok , what -- what we need to concentrate on is finding out who the real killer is , ok ? jason : yes . sonny : now , i 'm thinking that this happened in the moment , ok ? a.j . said something to somebody . they snapped . somebody -- i do n't know -- maybe you would n't even suspect . jason : monica has been acting funny lately . sonny : monica would have a lot of motive , right ? i mean , a.j . made her and the whole family think that he was dead . he kidnapped her grandson , shot her husband , right , got rough with emily . but what i 'm trying to say to you is if it is monica , are you going to have a problem turning your mother in ? sam : michael , i was wondering if you wanted -- emily : i told you , it is n't necessary to restrain my husband . guard : sorry . warden 's orders . emily : ok . then at least give us some privacy , please . guard : i 'll be right outside . emily : did they hurt you ? nikolas , i 'll speak to the warden myself nikolas : to hell with the warden . talk to me . what happened before ? what 'd i do ? emily : nothing . nothing , nikolas . i just -- i just lost it . you know , there 's been a lot to deal with , you know , you being sent here , the kidnappings , a.j . shot my dad and then gets murdered . i just -- i have n't been able to sleep lately . nikolas : i 'm so sorry i have n't been able to help you . emily : hey , maybe it 's one of those character - building times , you know , where you 're supposed to find your way through everything alone . nikolas : no , i do n't believe that . we used to count on each other for everything . what changed so much that you 're willing to throw our marriage away before it 's even gotten started ? please , emily . look at me . something happened to you , and i need you to trust me enough to tell me what it is . emily : you 're right . something did happen . you know , it 's ok to change some things in your life . nikolas : it 's ok , baby . i love you . and nothing you can tell me will ever change that . emily : i can't . i ca n't , nikolas . it hurts too much . nikolas : wait , wait . just answer one question . do you still love me ? emily : with all my heart . nikolas : then we can get through this . i just -- i need to know what i 'm dealing with here , ok , so i do n't -- so i do n't step wrong and freak out like i did before . please . help me help you . please . emily : ok . emily : connor bishop raped me . rachel : i really want to believe you . i wish i could go back in time and we could actually be friends and you would be the person who came to the hospital and was worried about me when i was released . but that 's not you , courtney . you hate me and with good reason . which is why i know what this is about . courtney : a.j . hurt me , rachel , just like he hurt you . rachel : yeah , and just like he hurt your best friend , carly , and her son michael . and that 's why she killed him . courtney : no , she didn't . rachel : naturally , you 're going to want to believe that and you 're going to want to find somebody to pin that on . i blackmailed you , and i framed you for murder . of course you 're going to want to frame me now . courtney : i do n't frame people . rachel : believe it or not , neither did i -- until a.j . found my breaking point , and we all have them , courtney , even you . which is why i can not cept your very generous offer . it would be the first step i took toward sending myself to prison . jason : michael ! michael , wait up ! wait a minute ! michael -- michael : get away from me ! jason : just -- just wait . just -- michael -- michael ! michael : get away from me ! jason : i looked -- i looked for you from the day you were taken . you 're finally home . please , buddy , i 'm asking you , do n't leave again . oh , man . i know . i know it 's tough . michael : i saw mom kill a.j . sonny : no sign of michael ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : i know what you think . you made your position ... uh , many years ago you agreed to -- just say it . you think my kids are better off without me . olivia : sonny , you know that i do n't regret my decision to raise dante alone . sonny : right . olivia : i would have never told him that he was your son . even though i saw every day how much that kid missed having a father . but , um , you know what ? i had him surrounded all the time by terrific male role models that were reinforcing all the values that i was trying to teach him . you know , he never -- he was never taught to disrespect the law or -- or shoot someone who pissed him off . i can guarantee he was never shot at or kidnapped or ... forced to defend me from a madwoman with a gun . sonny : i ca n't argue with that . dante never knew me to begin with , i never knew him , but my other children , it 's like , you know ... history , tradition , family . and it 's not easy to undo that . olivia : you walked away before . sonny : yeah , but , you know , i do n't really want to get into that , but it was n't my -- my , uh , decision , you know , and it did n't take , and carly eventually let me see michael and morgan 'cause they -- they needed me and i needed them . it 's really , really hard to walk away from your children . so i got ta figure out a better way to protect them , and that 's all . what ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : michael 's release , that 's a priority . where do we start ? dante : the quickest thing to do would be to get the judge to , uh , reverse his ruling . lulu : well , the only way a stubborn guy like that 's going to reverse it is if he 's forced to by a higher court or something . dante : the appeals process ? that takes months , years , and michael could have been done serving his sentence and waiting at home by the time it gets to court . no , we need to appeal to someone higher up on the food chain . lulu : yeah , people with influence . like the quartermaines . you know , i think , actually , edward would totally want to step up for his great - grandson . he 's rich and powerful and super connected and highly motivated . dante : that 's a great place to start . in the meantime , i 'm gon na track down claire walsh . she knows the federal court system better than any of us . lulu : how is claire motivated ? dante : well , she made a mistake . she let her ambition cloud her judgment , and there 's a kid facing 5 years in prison who should n't be there . she 's got to feel guilty . if she does n't , i 'll just push some buttons . [ scene_break ] claire : jax , look , you 're a very influential man , okay ? you 've proven as much for months . use the contacts you bullied into getting me on sonny 's case to get michael released . jax : well , calls have already been made . claire : good . so when it comes down to brass tacks , you got to spin this as you helping jasper jacks ' stepson , not sonny corinthos ' kid . okay ? and one more thing . i 'd like you to try to steer this appeal to one one of two judges -- marvin kaplan or lynette black . they 're most likely to be more sympathetic with our cause . jax : okay . appreciate the heads - up . but remind me again why you suddenly care . claire : i am well aware of the part that i played in this travesty . i used sonny 's trial to advance my career , and i shredded my ethics along the way . i pissed off judge carroll and made a mockery of his courtroom , and he took it out on michael . and i 'd feel a lot better about myself if i did something to see justice prevail in the end . [ scene_break ] carly : dante 's not a mobster . he 's a cop . if he disappears , people will notice and they 'll care . you would be their first and only suspect , jason . the cops wo n't stop until they have you in custody . jason : i can do it clean this time . the cops can suspect all they want . they 're not gon na be able to prove anything . carly : there 's no reason to , jason . jason : there 's no reason to do anything . michael 's in prison for 2 years because of that son of a bitch . do you think i 'm just gon na let him keep breathing ? carly : you have to , because he 's sonny 's son . and sonny will turn against you . do n't think he wo n't . and one of two things will happen . you will die because you wo n't fight back or sonny dies , and either way , i lose . jason : how is it good that dante 's still around ? carly : here 's the way we all win . we dismantle dante piece by piece . we break him down to nothing . and we do n't spare lulu , because that little bitch needs to learn what happens when you betray your family . i think it 's beautiful . dante lives through his own downfall . jason : if dante dies -- carly : no . no , i 'm michael 's mother . you got to give this to me . [ scene_break ] patrick : 18 . i ca n't believe that you guys were 18 when you went through all that . robin : well , you know what that means ? that when emma comes to us when she 's 18 and she says , `` i 'm in love '' -no , we have to believe her . patrick : come on , that 's -- i do n't -- i do n't think i can do that . that 's young . robin : i know . but we will raise emma to know her heart and to trust herself , so if she tells us that , then we have to support her . 'cause you know what ? no one can predict the future . patrick : that 's true . well , hey , you want to go out ? let 's go to jake 's , grab a drink , maybe get your mind off things a little bit . robin : i 'm not really up for that . but you should go . patrick : i do n't want to leave you here alone . robin : you should go , unwind at jake 's . i kind of want to be alone , actually . i want to just be alone with my memories for a little while . patrick : all right , well , if that 's what you want . okay . [ scene_break ] steve : i 'm happy to see you . i was hoping you 'd stop in . lisa : ohh . well , you need n't lay in wait at jake 's , you know . i did have a blast with you at the tim mcgraw concert , so ... i 'd go out with you again . just ask . steve : i will definitely ... do that . lisa : hmm . oh , speaking of the concert , i -- i asked you something and ... thank you . and you managed not to give me an answer . steve : you 're going to have to refresh my memory on that one . lisa : how in the world is a great guy like you unattached ? because you seem like one of those rarely seen , highly endangered species -- a really decent guy . [ scene_break ] claire : i 'm just about to leave . dante : come on , you can spare 5 minutes . claire : fine . what ? dante : i want to get michael out of prison . claire : all right , if you 're planning a breakout , i really do n't want to hear about it . dante : come on . really ? give me some credit . claire : you know , it gets confusing with you sometimes . are you a cop on the job , or are you your mobster father 's son ? dante : i do n't have time to spar with you . are you going to help me find a way to get him out of there or not ? claire : i 'm going to tell you what i told jax . you need influence . pressure from on high . dante : okay . that 's what i was thinking . claire : well , jax is your best shot . so ... dante : good . well , then , i mean , we need all the help we can get . that 's where you come in . you know the federal court system inside and out . you just prosecuted sonny 's case . you got to have a lead on what loopholes we can exploit . claire : yeah , i do . zero . judge carroll followed the law to the letter , as always . he does n't leave loopholes . put all your eggs in that basket and you 're looking at a messy cleanup . dante : so our only option here is to get one influential person to try and convince another ? claire : that 's about it . dante : that is messed up . our justice system we 're talking about here is supposed to be about right versus wrong . claire : detective falconeri , do yourself a favor and grow the hell up . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] sonny : i 'm not surprised to see you . carly : i 'm not surprised to be here . you 're behind . you need to catch up . sonny : what are you waiting for ? go ahead , scream at me . throw things . do what you need to do , because i deserve it . you begged me not to trust dante . i insisted on this cover - up with claudia 's death , the whole deal . it just ... i do n't know . [ sighs ] carly : we 're both responsible for what happened to michael . oh , we were so arrogant . and we thought we could lie and maneuver our way out of anything . and if this cover - up did n't go so horribly wrong , would we have ever admitted that the way we raised michael was twisted and wrong ? i mean , we did n't have a prayer of keeping that kid safe . and we did n't . and now michael 's paying the price .

[ scene_break ] lulu : saving michael could be as simple as talking to someone in your poker group or your country club , one of your old cronies in washington . edward : do n't you know that i made those calls the instant that michael was sentenced ? i 've done everything i can . lulu : oh , that ca n't be . monica : yes , it can be . 'cause the sticky part of this is that legally , michael is not a quartermaine , he 's a corinthos . and no one with any political ambition is going to raise a finger to help a mobster 's son . edward : i told you from the very outset that sonny 's influence would ruin michael , and now it has . tracy : lulu , they 're not lying . i made some phone calls myself on michael 's behalf and i ca n't even get a return phone call . michael 's future , unfortunately , is looking bleak and bleaker . but you 're the one i 'm concerned about . lulu : why ? i 'm fine . tracy : you wo n't be until you get away from dante . lulu : [ chuckles ] that 's out of the question . tracy : lulu , he 's as toxic to you as sonny is to michael . lulu : that 's absurd , because dante is nothing like sonny . tracy : you 're wrong . [ scene_break ] dante : you 're operating under the misapprehension here that i 'm some kind of boy scout who thinks the world is a perfect place where everything 's fair and just and people always do the right thing . claire : you know , you 're looking a little starry - eyed from here , but whatever . dante : you 're right . i understand the politics . michael is sonny corinthos ' kid . we 've been after sonny for a long time . we spent a lot of time and money and effort to get him with nothing to show for it . but , hey , there 's michael . there 's this kid , and it does n't matter that he 's got brain damage and he 's messed up . you know , just because that 's the way it 's always been done does n't make it right . it does n't mean we ca n't change the mindset . claire : have you always been an overachiever ? not only are you gon na get michael magically released , but you 're gon na revamp the entire criminal justice system , are n't you ? dante : i 'm gon na do everything i can to help my brother . and if you truly stand for something , you need to get off your ass and not wait for jax to wave his magic wand and maybe come up with something that we can actually use . [ scene_break ] sonny : permission not granted to take all the blame . carly : you do n't think i 'd blame someone else if i could ? let 's start with elizabeth , that sanctimonious bitch . let 's blame her . if she had n't thrown herself at jason that night at kelly 's , i would n't have ran to you and we would n't have devoured each other , betrayed our best friend , and jump - started that hideous cycle of disaster after disaster . would n't have taken our son down with us , so , hell , yeah , let 's blame elizabeth . i already got a jump- start on hating her . sonny : look , it 's my fault . i set this thing in motion , starting with that first night with you . i wanted to sleep with you . then i wanted a family with you . so i lied over and over again . to you , to myself . and the one thing that i said that i was going to give , i could n't . i could not deliver a safe life for our kids . carly : i knew you were lying . but i let you convince me . we both did this . sonny , do n't do this . we got together because we were selfish . and the sex was good . and we could get lost in it for a while and try and convince ourselves that we were n't these awful people . and because what 's dark in you reinforces what 's dark in me . and it makes us feel normal . we 're a lot alike . out of all the people in this world , we keep finding each other .

[ scene_break ] jason : well , the truth is , i ... i do n't know what 's gon na happen to michael . but i 've done everything in my power to make sure that he 's safe . i owe you an apology . because i let everyone believe that -- that i could protect michael . but i messed up . i handled everything wrong . i know michael 's in prison because of it . because of me . molly : you know , jason , i really do n't have a whole lot of life experience , but i am observant , and i think about things . and i figured out that sometimes even though you do the very best you can , stuff still falls apart . but it does n't mean that you 're a bad person everyone should be mad at . it just means there 's such a thing as fate . and no one , no matter how hard they try , can change what 's already happened . sam : that 's right out of the mouth of my baby sister . [ scene_break ] dante : okay , how about this ? you say you need michael as a witness to one of your upcoming trials . claire : witness to what ? dante : it does n't matter . you make something up . you just use it to get him transferred out of pentonville and into pcpd custody . then we use stall tactics , keep him in lockup until we can work up a plan to get him out . claire : judge carroll would land on me with both feet . dante : judge carroll does n't have to know . claire : he 'd know . dante : is that how this is gon na go -- i 'm gon na come up with ideas , you 're gon na them them down ? because , really , all that matters to you is stopping your career from nose - diving into the ground . i mean , who cares about some poor kid you helped throw to the wolves ? claire : all right , you know , that 's it . i am so sick of your self - righteous attitude , your day late , dollar short devotion to michael all of a sudden . especially when this whole mess could have been avoided if you 'd told the truth about how you got shot . sonny would be in prison , claudia 's murder would n't have gone to trial , and michael would be a normal teenager obsessing over pimples and girls . instead , you chose to protect your daddy . you are no paragon of virtue here , detective . you are just as much to blame for michael 's fate as anyone . maybe more . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's just not fair . carly : you 're gon na have to be a little more specific . sonny : this . us . i know that , uh ... i 'm the worst thing that 's ever happened to you . and it 's just not fair of me to love you , to need you ... but sometimes it just feels like , you know , you 're the only woman in the world .

[ scene_break ] luke : i 'm also suing for slander . that 's what all this talk about me being a hopeless drunk is . tracy : not hopeless . not yet . fast approaching . you know , if you think i 'm exaggerating , you ought to speak to the other people at the intervention . luke : witch hunt . tracy : that would be sonny , carly , nikolas , ethan , lucky and lulu . luke : lulu was there under duress . nikolas will go anywhere to torture me . carly just had nothing else to do . lucky is looking for a scapegoat . and ethan , well , i have n't quite figured him out yet , but since he matches me drink for drink , i have to assume that he was just there scamming the people . tracy : so everybody 's wrong but you . luke : that 's right . it was a kangaroo court . you were all looking to convict some villain for the death , the accidental death , of jake webber . and since you do n't want to condemn luke spencer , who 's nobody 's hero and drove stupidly that night , you 've decided to try and convict booze . tracy : luke is in trouble and he needs help . if he does n't get it , he 's going to die . luke : yeah , look at me . i 'm on death 's door . alexis : i 'm going to take your advice and i 'm going to give this some serious thought . if i might offer you some advice , it might be futile to try to get him to live the way you want . i 'll be in touch . luke : she 's a wise woman . you should listen to that . because it 's a total waste of time to try to turn me into some kind of dry , button - down square . tracy : i love you , luke . i 'm trying to help you . do not expect me to stop either any time soon .

[ scene_break ] luke : this is what you do now , cut and run in the middle of an argument ? who the hell are you , and what have you done with my wife ? tracy : i realized it was a mistake to engage . but one more thing -- if alexis is stupid enough to take on your asinine lawsuit , be aware of the can of worms you 'll be opening . there will be a parade of family members through that court testifying to your drinking . now i know you 're the great luke spencer and you probably do n't give a damn , but how hard do you think it 's going to be on everybody else ? luke : well , then nip this in the bud . give me back what 's mine . my business , my wife , get lucky off my back , and stop trying to turn me into a recovering addict . tracy : i 'm trying to save your life . luke : yeah , and most of all , stop with this surprise bit . you knew exactly who i was when you married me . tracy : maybe i did n't let myself see how sick you are . luke , you are in trouble . you need help , get it . luke : when hell freezes over , mama . tracy : [ sighs ] you have no idea how hard it is to watch you try and maintain . when i look at you , the only thing i see in your eyes is how badly you want to drink . luke : that 's nonsense . you see what you want to see . tracy : no , luke , i see the truth ! luke : well , if that 's the case , then maybe it 's time you learned exactly what constitutes a lost cause .

[ gun cocks ] ava : ... do it yourself . franco : oh . carly : was that a gun ? franco : that was ava , and that was a gun . ava was gon na shoot aj to keep him from talking . carly : but why ? franco : i do n't know . and how did we get from ava almost shooting aj to sonny actually shooting aj ? shawn : sorry , sonny . you know , did n't mean to overstep . sonny : no , no , you should know what 's going on . morgan was out of control . i do n't blame him for one second . i should have never gone to aj 's funeral . michael wanted me to go . i did n't want to let him down , so i go . afterwards , i feel bad , like , i ca n't even breathe . shawn : hmm . sonny : she just -- ava just , you know , she 's there . and it just happened . shawn : how did morgan find out ? sonny : he ... he came in , and we were all clothed , but he 's -- he 's not stupid . he figured it out . shawn : you know , he was angry , hurt , went to jerome . sonny : yeah , then he -- then he went to olivia . shawn : morgan told olivia ? sonny : no , i stopped him , thank god , but olivia does n't know anything at all . alexis : hi . olivia : hey . alexis : is sonny here ? olivia : uh , no , he 's not home right now . alexis : oh , all right . well , can i leave these with you ? i can also run them down to the office . olivia : oh , no , i got it . i 'll take it . alexis : okay . well , i just need a signature . i finally got the coffee distributors to come to terms . olivia : i 'll tell him . alexis : you okay ? olivia : yeah , no , no , i just had a little run - in with morgan . poor kid . he 's so bent out of shape . alexis : i know . i mean , can you blame him after what happened ? olivia : you heard about that ? alexis : yeah . i heard that ava cheated on morgan . ava : julian , please . please do n't do it . julian : i 'm sorry . i really hate doing this . but i 'd hate to die even more . [ vase shatters ] ava : [ breathing heavily ] he 's alive . just unconscious . morgan : who cares about him ? are you all right ? ava : yes . thank you . you saved my life . he was just about to pull the trigger . morgan : i know . i ratted you out , ava . ava : did n't you know this would happen ? morgan : i did n't -- i did n't think he 'd actually try to kill his own sister , no . ava : well , julian did n't have a choice . he 's got a boss . and his boss told him to kill me . tracy : where did you get all this cash ? luke : i earned it . ned , this is my personal secret stash , my nest egg . some of it comes from the days when the haunted star was in the black . some of it comes from some big poker winnings . and there 's a windfall here from a trifecta , a hell of a good day at the races . ned : apparently . luke : i know it 's not much by quartermaine standards , but it 's mine . it 's what i 've managed to squirrel away through the years . ned : when was the haunted star ever in the black ? and more to the point , when in the last 10 years or so have you ever had so much as a dollar that you did n't appropriate from my mother ? luke : a lot of money has passed through these hands through the years . i know you think i 'm a loser . but i 've had a lot of personal wins . which is how i was able to put together this tidy sum , a sum which i intend to invest in elq . tracy : invest ? luke : i want to bring something to the company , make a contribution of my own . ned : we 're supposed to take your word for that ? luke : tracy , if you do n't believe me , go to the safe , look through the cash , run through the accounts , turn over the vending machines in the lobby . you 'll see that not one penny is missing . tracy : that wo n't be necessary . carly : what could aj have over ava that 's bad enough for her to want him dead ? franco : you know , you 're assuming that the threshold is high . ava is very generous when it comes to mayhem . maybe she just did n't like the way aj was looking at her . carly : hmm . franco : oh , come on . carly : you have to let me do it . i have the magic touch . franco : oh . yeah , you do . sonny : get your damn hands off her ! aj : sonny , no ! sonny : i said [ static ] your hands off her ! carly : sonny 's there . aj : listen . please . sonny : no ! is this how you get off ? ! hurting women , abusing them , killing them ? ! aj : no , i - i know how this looks . but i was n't [ static ] her . please , please , you got to hear me . sonny : i 'm not hearing nothing ! you killed the woman [ static ] i love ! aj : no ! no , i did n't ! no [ static ] did n't ! listen , if you just put the gun down , i can explain . i can make you understand . ava : he tried to kill me . aj : shut up ! do n't listen to her ! sonny : who do i listen to ? ! i 'm [ static ] listening to you ! i 'm done ! aj : i did n't kill connie ! [ gunshot ] franco : wow . well , i think we have established that aj was not over at ava 's to apply for a job as junior mobster . carly : [ sighs ] ca n't believe sonny bought any of that . but knowing sonny , he was blown away by everything that -- franco : by blowing away aj , of course . carly : look , it 's eating him alive , and it is . we have to figure out what really went on that night , okay ? we do . so we have to find someone who can clean up that recording so we can hear the audio . franco : exactly . i think we bring it to anna devane . duke : you do n't need a phone log to prove rivera 's guilty . he 's going to jail for a very long time . anna : i know . that 's what 's bothering me . why did n't he fight the charge ? duke : well , he was probably presented with the details of your investigation and he decided to confess and get the best deal possible . anna : well , we know he 's responsible for the first attempt on aj 's life , but we do n't really have anything to tie him to the actual shooting . duke : so , what are you suggesting ? there are multiple assassins out there and many people wanted a piece of aj ? anna : no . just wondering whether his intention is trying to mislead us . duke : all i can say is port charles is very lucky to have you . you are indefatigable . anna : now you 're just flirting . duke : little bit . anna : [ chuckles ] duke : you can pursue this case till the end of the earth , whatever makes you happy . as long as i can come around every now and again and make sure you eat . so i 'll take you for dinner . anna : [ chuckles ] duke : there it is . the sunshine through the clouds . anna : i owe you an apology . duke : never . anna : no , i do . i do . you know , when you provided that alibi for sonny , i really thought that he put you up to it . but it appears that sonny did n't have anything to do with aj 's shooting . i should n't have ever questioned you . duke : anna ... there is something that i have to tell you . sonny : i can tell you right now , this thing with ava is never gon na happen again . i was n't thinking clearly . i had a lot going on . but , you know , let 's just -- case is closed and put it behind us . shawn : speaking of the case being closed , what 's up with rivera confessing to the murder ? sonny : ava . somehow she convinced him to plead guilty . sabrina : were you lying when you swore on my child 's life ? carlos : querida -- sabrina : even though they had evidence against you , that you were guilty , that you had gone after aj , i was sure that you were n't lying to me about having shot him ! i believed you , carlos , because i believed that you loved me and my baby ! carlos : no , i do ! i do love you and that baby ! that is not a lie ! sabrina : my little boy is fighting for his life ! do you understand that ? ! after you swore to god on his soul ! is that -- is that why you blame yourself , huh ? because that was a lie ? you were lying when you said that ? you know what ? you 're right . this is your fault . carlos : [ sobs ] ava : why did you tell him , morgan ? julian never had to know . morgan : yes , but , ava , i was angry , okay ? i did n't know what i was doing . i was out of control after i found you with my dad . god . oh , my god . i ca n't believe this right now . i ca n't believe that i almost got you killed , ava . i 'm so sorry . ava : i 'm sorry , too . i 'm so sorry that i hurt you . morgan : then why ? why did you -- why did you do it ? ava : that you got caught up and you lost control and you told julian -- that 's what happened to me with your father . it meant nothing to me . he means nothing to me . what happened -- it has no bearing on my love for you at all . and i know that we can get past it . we can move forward . will you forgive me ? please ? so i can leave the country knowing that we 're gon na be all right ? morgan : leave ? where you going ? ava : to your father 's island . olivia : ava cheated on morgan ? where -- where did you hear that ? alexis : uh , from morgan . i saw him last night , and he went on and on about how ava cheated on him . and obviously you did n't know that . olivia : oh , my god . no , i - i thought that morgan was upset about , um , something else . so -- so -- so who did -- who was it with ? who did , uh , who did ava sleep with ? alexis : well , i assumed it was silas clay because apparently she 's had a thing for him for years , and naturally i was worried because of sam , but morgan said it was n't silas , so i do n't know . if it was n't silas , who could it be ? alexis : are you sure you 're okay ? olivia : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . i - i - i knew something happened . morgan was so ... hurt that i - i just -- i did n't realize that , um ... it all makes so much sense now . alexis : uh , i 've got to go . i have a meeting . i really hope i did n't say anything wrong . olivia : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's okay . yeah . alexis : okay . olivia : morgan , honey , what are you talking about ? how did your father destroy your relationship ? sonny : we should talk about this . morgan : oh , yeah , you 'd like that , huh ? sonny : no , i do n't like this . i do n't like what happened . this is between me and you . morgan : no , it is not ! not even close , dad ! sonny : she should not be a part of this . morgan : what are you talking about ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : just tell me the truth . did you have that witness murdered ? julian : you 're really asking me those questions ? alexis : yes or no ? are you responsible for that man 's death ? [ scene_break ] finn : i 'm sure you have a good reason for eavesdropping while i was talking with my patient . carly : okay , we 'll get to why i 'm here to see you in a minute . you really need to learn how to take a compliment . finn : oh , was that you complimenting me ? carly : your patient -- he 's elderly , and he 's alone , and he needed someone to answer his questions and listen to him and not lecture him and duck out like most doctors do . and you were very kind and attentive and respectful , and you answered all of his questions . finn : that 's how any doctor should be acting . carly : no , that is not how doctors act at all . most of them are cold and arrogant and more invested in being right than paying attention to the actual patient . finn : if you are suggesting that i might be humble , i assure you , you are mistaken . carly : i 'm not suggesting that at all . i know better . but , you know , my son michael -- he told me how good you were to his aunt tracy , and i know how difficult that can be . finn : well , i like tracy . she speaks her mind . carly : that 's one way to look at it . i 've also seen you with josslyn , and you were really kind to her , too . finn : you 'd have to be a complete ass to be cruel to a child . carly : yes , this is the side of you that i know very well -- very impatient , no tact . finn : well , i 'm very charming when i 'm on my own . carly : [ laughs ] i 'm just saying that when you 're with a patient who ca n't handle that side of you , it 's nice to see you adjust . dr. obrecht : dr. finn . you 've barely joined our staff , and already you are abusing your privileges and violating common - sense admissions protocol . that never would have happened if i was still chief of staff . finn : oh . do tell . what is the nature of my latest transgression ? dr. obrecht : owen ellis . you admitted him for another round of tests . if you 'd troubled yourself to check his chart , you 'd see the man is a notorious hypochondriac without insurance . thanks to your incompetence , he 's taking up a bed he does n't need and can not pay for . finn : dr. obrecht , you may very well be right . mr. ellis appears to be in perfect health . dr. obrecht : so why did you admit him ? finn : because owen lives alone and at his age , something might very well have gone undiagnosed . it 's well within my guidelines to check him in for observation while tests are being run . dr. obrecht : and the hospital must absorb the cost of yet another round of inconclusive tests . it 's a shameful waste of funds which could be better used elsewhere , not to mention an example of very bad judgment on your part . finn : you know , it just occurred to me that i do n't have to listen to you , that you have no authority . i mean , do n't you have other duties to attend to rather than harassing doctors ? carly : well done . finn : thank you . carly : mm . finn : i said `` duties . `` that always makes me laugh . but now that we 've critiqued my bedside manner and how i work with my fellow employees , why do n't you tell me why it is you need to see me ? carly : i want to discuss what you told me regarding my daughter and the mystery donation of her kidney . i need your help .

[ door closes ] sonny : culinary school , huh ? that 's impressive . kristina : this is only our first date . i barely know him . he just seemed like a nice guy , and we both had that connection of having relatives at freedman , and i have no idea if we 're going to hit it off or if there 's even going to be a second date . sonny : well , he made a good first impression . kristina : dad , stop . sonny : well , he likes my coffee , and he likes good cuisine and loyal to his family . kristina : and it 's our first date . sonny : i know , i know . i 'll stop right there . but , listen -- after all the mess that went down with your college professor , it 's nice that you 're , you know , going out with somebody who 's your own age . and i do n't care if anything develops with this guy . i want you to meet a nice guy who treats you nice . kristina : yeah . about that . there 's something that you need to know . [ scene_break ] griffin : thank you . anna : so , while i was waiting for you at the hospital , i overheard alexis and julian `` explaining `` the situation to their daughter sam . and this man that alexis was talking with at the floating rib -- he turns out to be the witness that came forward to testify that he saw carlos kill your father . so , now he turns up dead of a supposed overdose . you know , and alexis happens to be the first on the scene to find the body . griffin : well , you said julian had the witness killed . are you sure alexis is involved ? anna : no . she 's not . i mean ... look , if julian has one shred of humanity , it is all wrapped up in alexis , so i thought that since she was first on the scene , that i would accuse her . griffin : in hopes that he would come forward and confess to protect her . anna : yeah . i mean , it was a long shot , but it was worth a try . and then , unfortunately , we did n't have enough evidence to hold her . griffin : are you sure this guy did n't od on his own ? he was a junkie , right ? anna : apparently . hale garrett . he 'd been clean for a year , and so , what , he falls off the wagon ? well , he more than falls off the wagon . he overdoses immediately after coming forward to testify against carlos ? i mean , that is beyond coincidence . that is -- that 's criminal . griffin : and you 're sure julian is responsible ? anna : yeah . because carlos knows that if he is gon na be found guilty , the first thing he 's going to do is , he 's gon na take the deal to testify that julian ordered the hit against duke . so what julian did is , he just took care of the witness , killed him to keep carlos quiet . [ sighs ] griffin : what are you thinking about now ? anna : i 'm just ... i 'm just thinking about alexis . you know ? she 's not the first strong woman who 's compromised herself , because a criminal said he loved her . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you just standing there staring at me ? answer me ! julian : [ sighs ] you know what ? i ca n't even believe this . how could you be asking me this stuff ? alexis : as my client , i would n't . but as my husband , i have to . julian : here 's the thing that anna refuses to accept -- i was defending myself . i had duke killed because he was gon na kill me . so it 's easier for anna to demonize me than to accept that duke was less than perfect . what happened to duke , he brought upon himself . so , now the woman 's fixated on me . alexis : i 'm not arguing that . but that does n't answer my question . julian : why would i have that witness killed ? okay ? i did n't do it . yes , yes . all right , look ... i understand why everybody suspects me , because if the witness goes away , the case against carlos goes away , so i 'm free . but here 's the thing you need to remember -- i did n't know the witness ' name until you told me at the hospital . all right ? how -- how could i possibly arrange for him to be murdered ? alexis : there 's other ways for you to ... how ? your sister ... julian : okay . alexis : .... has contacts , right ? maybe she tracked him down for you . julian : okay , i swear that ava had nothing to do with that . all right ? she did n't tell me . i swear on my kids ' lives . alexis : oh . [ chuckles ] [ breathes deeply ] [ sighs ] my briefcase . julian : what ? alexis : all that information -- the witness ' name , everything -- was in my briefcase . i made a hard copy . i printed it out . and i was holding it , and you saw me put it in the briefcase . and then leo started to cry , and i went upstairs , and i left you alone . julian : alexis ... alexis : did you look in my briefcase ? just tell me . did you look in my briefcase at those papers and get the name of that witness ? [ scene_break ] carly : it would be really helpful if we could investigate the origins of josslyn 's donor kidney here at general hospital . finn : hmm . one question . who 's the `` we ? `` carly : me and you . finn : oh , i was afraid of that . carly : you were the one that made me understand the pros and cons of learning the truth about josslyn 's donor . finn : may i reiterate something from an earlier conversation ? that it will be very difficult to find out where that organ came from , and even if you do , the answers may be quite heartbreaking . carly : this could impact josslyn 's health for the rest of her life . finn : good luck with all of that . carly : so if there 's a chance that i can find out the truth . i have to pursue it . finn : no . carly : okay , you know what ? believe it or not , i used to be a student nurse , and i 've forgotten more than i remember , so it 'd be really helpful for me to have a doctor help me with the technical aspect , okay ? and , plus , i need a member of the staff to help me get in places i ca n't . finn : is that the best you got ? carly : i let you keep your damn lizard at my hotel . finn : damn service lizard . carly : there 's no such thing as a service lizard ! finn : the thing 's a service lizard . carly : and i do n't complain when you keep your room at 85 degrees . and i sent members of my staff to locate two cases of distilled water for you . do i need to keep going ? finn : wow . wow . that 's all i can say . guilt trip . fine . i 'll help you . carly : yay ! okay . where do we start ? finn : we need to establish the chain of care for that organ on the day of the transplant . carly : you know how to do that ? finn : that i do . follow me . [ scene_break ] kristina : you know that i love you , dad , right ? sonny : of course , i do , but i like to hear it a lot . kristina : [ chuckles ] um ... i know that i 've disappointed you in the past , and i do n't want to do that again . sonny : kristina , we all make mistakes . you know how many mistakes i made at your age ? even now ? you know , you 've made some big mistakes , yeah , but , look ... i may not love everything you do , but i will always love you . you know that , right ? kristina : thanks , dad . sonny : i -- and at the warehouse , listen , you 're doing a great job . everybody says you 've turned things around , and , you know , this guy seems like a nice guy . i just -- i just like where you 're at right now . and i got to say , i hope i ... [ breathes deeply ] i hope i did n't screw things up . kristina : i do n't understand . how could you do that ? sonny : well , if this guy , you know -- if it goes beyond a first date , he 's gon na know that i 'm not just a coffee importer , and ... you know , he may have an issue with that . kristina : dad . sonny : hmm ? kristina : if aaron or anyone ever had a problem with you , they 're not for me . my family is what it is . and it 's a part of me . sonny : you 're so sweet . kristina : oh . i love you . sonny : love you , too , baby . aaron : hey , thank you so much for letting me take a look around . that kitchen is incredible ! sonny : oh . aaron : there 's so much original hardware . that brick oven 's got to be 75 years old , at least . everybody at school 's gon na be so jealous . kristina : of pozzulo 's kitchen ? aaron : yeah ! yeah , have you ever been in there ? you got to let me show you around . it 's , uh ... of course , if that would be okay with you , sir . sonny : yeah , yeah . um , you guys go , and just as long as you say something to the guard , 'cause i 'm not gon na be here . kristina : sure , dad . yeah . aaron : okay . [ door opens ] [ door closes , cell phone rings ] sonny : what 's going on , max ? what ? carlos rivera ? [ scene_break ] man : i do n't think you 're gon na be in here much longer . carlos : what happened to the witness ? man : he appears to have met an unfortunate end today . apparently , he had quite the drug problem . carlos : [ breathes sharply ] so back to the original plan ? man : sure . but make sure you do n't involve anyone else moving ahead . is that understood ? carlos : understood . my lawyer -- she was gon na get the case tossed anyway , but then the witness showed up . but now that he 's dead , she 'll be -- she 'll be able to get it thrown out . i might be free soon . [ sighs ] man : hey . hey , hey . it 's best if you do n't tell your attorney that i was here . let her be the one to tell you that the eyewitness no longer matters . carlos : [ snaps fingers ] man : the less she knows about anything else , the better . carlos : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] julian : you really think i would look through your briefcase ? alexis : we both know how important that witness is . because if that witness were to testify , then carlos would be forced to cut a deal and implicate you in duke lavery 's murder . so everything that you need , right here -- right here in this briefcase -- i left you alone with it . julian : let 's play out your theory , okay ? that i set up the witness to od . do you really think that i would set you up to find the body , to be questioned by the police , to make you the prime suspect ? why would i do that to you ? i just would n't do that to you . alexis : you may not have meant to implicate me , but that does n't mean you did n't order the murder . julian : okay . even if i did , i would n't be so careless as to leave him alive , make myself an even bigger target for anna and the police . why would i do that to myself ? more importantly , why would i do that to you ? alexis : i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't know anything anymore . [ scene_break ] finn : what was the date of josslyn 's transplant again ? carly : march 22 , 2011 . finn : march 22nd . carly : i mean , this feels like a science - fiction movie . it really does . i mean , who fakes an organ donation ? i get helena because she was crazy , and she 's capable of anything , but someone else had to be involved , right ? finn : many could be involved . or just a few . it 's possible even the surgeon did n't know about the organ switch . what we need is the employee records of everyone working that day to establish a chain of custody for that organ and then start interviewing everyone that 's involved . this is us . let 's go . [ elevator bell dings ] finn : well , i , uh ... i was n't sure the office was open , but it looks like somebody 's burning the midnight oil . carly : do you really think the records people are going to cooperate with us ? i mean , we 're basically implying that something unethical or criminal happened here . finn : i think we can handle it . uh , excuse me . would you mind me telling me who 's in charge ? dr. obrecht : that would be me , dr. finn . what do you want ? [ scene_break ] anna : you know , part of me envies carly corinthos . i do . 'cause sonny does n't live in any pretense about who he is , and she accepts him . hell , she embraces it . and it 's that mutual trust , you know , that understanding and acceptance that they share , whereas i think alexis is more like me , just living in denial , just trying to ignore a truth that just becomes more glaring day by day . of course , there is one vast difference between us -- the man that alexis is in love with is scum . he is a liar and a coward , and that is the exact opposite of your father . he was a good man to me . he was honorable and courageous . he would never have done to me what julian is doing to alexis . griffin : i believe you . it 's just another piece to the puzzle , a way to better understand my father . anna : but you should n't have to make do with pieces of a puzzle ! duke should be here with you , so that you can have a chance to know him , and that is what julian stole from you . and now he 's killed the witness , he can get away with it . griffin : and there 's no way the case can proceed without the witness ? anna : oh , i do n't know . i mean , yes , we have the witness ' statement and ... but what it does is , it takes away the opportunity for cross - examination , and that could be grounds enough for them to just completely dismiss the testimony altogether . and coupled with that is the fact that this witness is an ex- junkie who relapses right after giving a statement . griffin : i get your frustration . i do . i want the people who killed my father brought to justice , also . i just -- i ... i wish you would have the same passion and commitment about your own defense . anna : oh , right . that would be ironic , would n't it ? that i go to prison for shooting a man in an obvious setup while carlos and julian , who conspire and succeed to shoot your father dead , they go free . [ scene_break ] julian : what do you want me to say , alexis ? either you believe me or you do n't . alexis : you lied to me before . julian : yes , before ... before we were married , before i got out of this line of work . for you , by the way . for us . i mean , for our family . but i want you to understand something , okay , alexis ? i have complete faith in your abilities as a lawyer . i really do . why would i go out and murder a witness when i know you 're gon na get us out of this legal mess ? okay ? you 're gon na do it . i know you are . but more importantly , i 've changed . alexis , i am not the same man that i was when you came back into my life . and i thought you knew that . i really thought you believed in me . clearly you do n't . i mean , hell , do we even have a marriage ? alexis : wait .

[ scene_break ] aaron : you know , everybody in my culinary school -- of course , their ultimate goal is to open their own restaurant someday , right ? and obviously , for me , right now , that 's not really gon na financially make sense , but in the meantime , i was kind of thinking that i would get a food truck . kristina : what kind of food truck ? aaron : uh , you know , something that has more than just lunch food , i think . it would have some breakfast ... yeah , some fun breakfast stuff . and i do n't know . i think that , like , it might be kind of cool to have corinthos coffee to go . it might be a good bonus . i ... kristina : ah . now i see why you asked me out . aaron : okay , first of all , in my defense , when i met you at freedman , your name tag said kristina c - davis , okay ? nothing about corinthos . so i had no idea you were the daughter of a coffee importer . really , the only thing i knew about you is that we both had relatives at freedman . kristina : right . aaron : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to , you know , ruin the mood . you thinking about your brother now ? kristina : no . i 'm thinking about , there 's a lot that you do n't know about me , and maybe we should n't even be going out at all . [ scene_break ] finn : dr. obrecht . what brings you to the records room on this fine spring evening ? dr. obrecht : reviewing and reordering the records has become one of my new duties . this place is a dysfunctional mess . once i have imposed order , i will retrain the records staff to meet my standards . finn : oh . lucky them . dr. obrecht : however , we both know it 's a waste of my talents -- one that is all your fault . finn : i 'm not sure i follow or understand the words coming out of your mouth . dr. obrecht : i would still be chief of staff if you had not descended on this hospital with your lizard and your obscure diagnosis . finn : right , and tracy quartermaine might be dead , so consider the lawsuit you might be facing then . dr. obrecht : why are you interrupting my work ? carly : because i asked for his help . i explained to dr. finn what i needed , and then i also explained to dr. finn how much money my husband and i have donated to this hospital . dr. obrecht : it 's true . you and mr. corinthos have been very generous . what is it you need ? carly : it 's about my daughter josslyn . five years ago , she had a kidney transplant here at general hospital . and at the time , we thought her donor was jake webber , elizabeth 's son , but we now know that jake did n't die because helena kidnapped him . so for josslyn 's health moving forward , i need to know everything i can about who the donor really was . dr. obrecht : you are suggesting that something criminal may have transpired . i may no longer be chief of staff , but i am not going to give you information that might result in a lawsuit against this hospital . finn : as josslyn 's mother , carly has a legal right to see those records . carly : yes . dr. obrecht : then go through legal channels to obtain them . why do n't you go back to your hypochondriac patient ? or you have you lost interest in him now that sonny corinthos ' wife needs your help ? carly : finn is my friend . finn : yeah , i 'm her friend . dr. obrecht : it does n't surprise me that you 're such an obvious opportunist , dr. finn . but i 'm not deceived . the day i help you with anything is never . now , both of you , go !

carly : so when michael , morgan , and kristina were back , her job was to build a case against you , right ? sonny : ok . withholding the evidence that she had on me could have cost reese her job , ok ? she told durant that the information was not conclusive . carly : because she started caring about you . sonny : she cares about michael , carly . now , she got through to michael when no one else could . i mean , you got to admit tha she knows something about this trauma stuff -- what to say , what not to say . i mean , you know -- carly : he still needs his family . sonny : we are here , but she 's been able to calm him down when we couldn't . that 's not about her , you know , her job or some personal agenda . she 's putting aside her own pain to help my son . that matters to me . carly : so you 're really getting serious about her , are n't you ? sonny : you know what ? what does that have to do with anything ? carly : no . it doesn't . you 're not a naive man , sonny . if you trust her , then i 'll accept that . sonny : you did n't before . carly : our marriage is over . we 're both moving on , doing different things , you know ?

luke : this particular plot demanded a certain dramatic flair . skye : oh , for god 's sake luke . oh , luke , luke ! tracy : oh , please , it 's only me . of all the convoluted schemes . skye : please , we 've been over that . luke : look , you two , helena is not going to show up and risk getting caught or , hopefully , killed without providing her with some incentive . tracy : helena believes that i siphoned off her money . she 's not the kind of woman to laugh it off when somebody crosses her . correction -- she 'll kill you first , then she 'll laugh that off . luke : would you calm down and relax . tracy : oh , you 're right . i do get edgy when i 'm waiting for my throat to be cut ! luke : i 'm mber one on her hit list . she 's not coming after you until she 's sure i 'm dead . elizabeth : hey . ok , so lucky wanted me to tell you that the bait was laid and hopefully helena heard us and bought it . luke : cool . you know the plan . elizabeth : yeah , i 'll just be working at the nurses ' desk . skye : and i 'll be reading the newspaper in the waiting area . tracy : oh -- i 'll be decoding my nancy drew ring . luke : could you decode in a wheelchair and try and blend in with the geriatric patients ? tracy : that 's funny ! luke : hmm . everybody keep a lookout for a sweet , unassuming nun . skye : a nun ? luke : yeah , she 's got a perverse sense of disguise . skye : and if she decides to wear something entirely different ? luke : well , then i 'd watch for a tall , thin woman in $ 1,200 shoes or an effete man with nail polish and a magnum . skye : yeah , luke . this plan is absolutely foolproof . luke : make yourself useful . tracy : oh , i 'm not going anywhere . helena would just as soon shoot me as look at me . luke : not until i 'm dead . i told you . tracy : you told me that i could n't survive without you as my bodyguard , so now 's your chance to walk the walk . protect me , already . elizabeth : no sign of helena . lucky : yeah . here comes emily . emily : hey . elizabeth : hey . so did you see nikolas , and did you tell him ? emily : yeah . lucky : ahem . hey . emily : hey , what 's going on ? does this have anything to do with luke being shot ? lucky : no , no , no , dad 's ok . he was wearing a bulletproof vest when he got shot . elizabeth : we 're setting a trap for helena . lucky : yeah , we 're hoping that she 's going to show up and finish the job . ric : we have substantial enough evidence against carly without michael 's testimony . alexis : the last thing that i want to do is put that little boy through amy more pain . but maybe testifying will help him . ric : against his own mother ? alexis : i saw him . he 's terrified . that 's a horrible secret for a little boy to keep . judge hunter : d.a . lansing , please come in . john : i understand ric called the judge to get a subpoena in the a.j . quartermaine murder case ?

this is perfect . sonny : ahem . there 's something i have to say . reese : oh , sonny , if i 've gotten too personal -- sonny : no , no , no , no -- reese : or crossed the line in any way . sonny : no , just -- i just want to thank you . reese : i 'm just doing my job . sonny : no , you 've done more than that , you know . i got to be honest with you . i -- i thought you were here to take me down , you know ? and you 've pretty much proven that that 's not the case , ok ? and you went above and beyond , you know , as far as the kids and trying to find the kids and all that stuff , and even after found out michael was alive , you could have walked away , case closed , right ? reese : michael is traumatized . sonny : yeah , but that 's what i 'm trying to say . you care . reese : i do . sonny : you know how to handle him , ok ? what to say , what to do . i thank god you 're here because i 've got to tell you you 've been the only one who 's been able to connect with my son . and , you know , i mean , i do n't really think he could have gotten through this without you . and that means a lot to me . reese : thank you . sonny : so , you know -- your life is all about the decisions you make . john : look , we have to keep moving forward . alexis : by having your own grandson incriminate his own mother ? john : michael is going to have to testify against carly in a courtroom full of people . sonny will never let that happen . that is why this is perfect . alexis : and you 're sure of that ? you 're sure that he 's going to confess to spare carly and michael ? john : yeah . you 'd better hope for the same thing because if sonny does confess , you retain custody of kristina . huh ? alexis : you make it sound awfully simple . john : well , you got to admit , it 's effective . sonny will do whatever he can to protect his children , even if it means going to prison . alexis : he 'll do anything he can but change his lifestyle . so if he goes to prison , my daughter 's safe , so that 's what i want . that 's why i 'm justifying this . i do n't think i can do it . john : you 're not going -- you do n't have to fabricate any evidence . michael has already said what he saw . the court knows about it . all we have to do is sit right back , let the events unfold . sonny walks into that courtroom , confesses , and we both get our daughters back . jason : hey . carly : hi . jason : i was just putting michael to bed . you want to go up and say good night ? carly : yeah . thanks . jason : yeah ? you -- are you ok ? carly : not really . jason : michael -- he 's going to let you back in . it 's just going to take some time . carly : no , i know . it 's not that . jason : ok , then what is it ? carly : sonny and i were talking about reese , and he admitted that he has feelings for her . i do n't know , i guess i just thought it was one of those passing things , you know , whenever sonny throws on the charm and the woman buys it , and 20 minutes later he loses interest . jason : well , you know , this could turn out to be the same thing . carly : no , jason , you should 've heard him . he was going on and on about how great reese is , how she 's really connected with michael . i 'm just so glad he stopped before telling me how hot she is . jason : look , look , sonny went through hell when michael was kidnapped . carly : we all did . jason : yeah , you 're right . you 're right , we all did . but to sonny , reese helped him through . carly : god , please do n't tell -- i do n't want you to be telling this to me , too . jason : ok , tell me you did n't tell him that it was wrong to trust her . carly : no , i did n't , i didn't . i said all the right things . i did . i said that , you know , we 're divorced and we 're moving on , and i -- i just want him to be happy . jason : are n't you happy ? carly : i do n't know what is wrong with me , jason . i wanted the divorce , i agreed to it , but i just can't . i do n't know why it hurts so much to hear him talk about caring for another woman . jason : well , because sonny and you have loved each other for a long time . it just does n't disappear overnight . carly : no , i know . the divorce is just paper . you know , i mean , we 've just -- we 've shared so many things and we have so many memories and we 're in each other 's lives , and it 's not just because he 's the father of my children . i just -- i do n't want to lose that . you know , i do n't -- you know , i 'm just selfish . i mean , that 's really the problem here . jason : well , sometimes you are , carly . carly : uh -- well , i did n't really need for you to agree with me . jason : well , listen . it 's ok . it 's ok to have mixed feelings about sonny moving on . carly : i 'm moving on . it 's just i do n't want sonny to move on . i do n't want him to be happy with reese or any other woman . i want reese to turn out to be a liar and a snake so that sonny will come to me and say , well , `` what the hell was i thinking ? `` i just -- i want him to realize that i -- that no one can take my place . jason : is that what you think about sonny ? that no one will ever take his place ? carly : god , i hope not . you know what ? i just do n't want to dwell on this anymore because i got to really focuon the person that really needs me . my son . i just -- elizabeth : hey . tracy : you owe me , luke spencer . you are the one that got me into this hideous mess . luke : where 's your sense of adventure ? tracy : it does n't include knives and guns ! luke : tracy , calm down . just relax and trust me . tracy : ooh ! trust you ? now i know i 'm in trouble . luke : i thought you were the quartermaine with all the spunk . you 're gutsy , you 're strong , you 're capable of pulling off the most nefarious scheme . tracy : i 'd like to live to scheme again . you , on the other hand , love to flirt with death . you are an adrenaline junkie . luke : and proud of it . when i get my hands on helena , i 'm going to snap her neck . tracy : bravo . luke : but i 'll tell you , i hate to admit this , but i 'm going to miss her when she 's gone . tracy : have you been stealing medication off the nurse 's cart again ? luke : she gets me all fired up . she makes me feel alive . tracy : you need a new hobby . luke : no , what i 'm going to need is a new playmate , someone to spar with . what about you , spunky ? u want to give me a whirl ? tracy : do n't even think about it . luke : wrong room , doctor . helena : killing you is really getting to be a chore . jason : just try and get some sleep , ok ? i 'll come over tomorrow and we 'll toss a ball around . carly : you 're settling into your life now , with all the things that you like to do and the people that you love . and i 'm going to be with you here , sweetheart . because the truth is going to come out . i did n't kill a.j . , and i would never do anything that would take me away from you . sonny : ok , good . max : ok . hi . sam : sonny . look , i 'm probably out of line with this , so please feel free to tell me to stop , shut up , whatever , that i 'm wrong , whenever you feel like it , ok ? sonny : what 's wrong ? sam : it reese , ok ? sonny : right . sam : in my opinion , i think that she has gone way past being an f.b.i . agent . it 's not just a job to her anymore , all right ? you matter to her , michael matters to her , and i do n't think she would do anything to take you away from your son . and i do n't think that she is looking for a reason to send you to prison anymore . sonny : sam , for the record , it is none of your business , all right ? but you did n't have to tell me because i already know . helena : i 'm here to reclaim the money you stole from me . tracy : that luke stole from you to -- to get you out of hiding ! helena : details are irrelevant . tracy : he did it without my cooperation . in fact , i warned him not to do it ! helena : too bad he did n't listen . tracy : look , i do n't want the money . helena : take your hand off the gun , luke . luke : what gun ? helena : no , do n't play me for a fool . you 'd never remain silent this long unless you were trying to trick me . now stop trying to nurse your grievances and put both hands up where i can see them . luke : no problem . helena : call the bank . ask them to wire a transfer to this account . emily : oh , my god . helena : yes , my dear . it is i , the granny from hell . [ gun cocks ] helena : do n't even think it , luke . luke : what happened to my crack team of lookouts ? helena : they 're following a woman dressed as a nun . really , luke , did you think i would be that predictable ? tracy : can we just get this over with ? helena : i 've changed my mind . i want cash . tracy : oh , come on , helena ! where am i going to get that kind of cash on a moment 's -- notice . helena : well , take your time . nikolas ' unsuitable bride will accompany me for insurance . she 'll be released when i get the money . luke : let her go . shs got nothing to do with this . tracy will get your cash . helena : did n't i tell you not to play me for a fool ? now , we 're going to walk out of this hospital . tracy : helena , luke is right . i will get the cash . just give me 24 hours . give me 12 hours . helena : oh , you are so tiresome . i 'll be in touch . tracy : ooh ! guard : hey . guard : stop ! helena : keep moving . though , it 'd give me a distinct pleasure to use this gun . out of the elevator , or i 'll shoot her . elizabeth : oh , god . reese : is michael still awake ? jason : i put him to bed . reese : is it too late to say good night ? carly : he 's already asleep . ric : sonny , i 'm sorry . this is one of the hardest things i 've ever had to do . i do n't liket , but it 's my job . sonny : just tell me what it is , ric . ric : it 's a subpoena calling michael to testify . reese : for what ? ric : we have reason to believe that michael saw carly kill a.j .

[ scene_break ] jax : we never discussed bringing michael home , what that would mean . carly : it means michael 's going to be taken care of by his mother . jax : you deliberately kept me in the dark about this , did n't you ? carly : i do n't need anyone else 's opinion . i 'm going to do what i have to do for my son . jax : anyone else ? i 'm not just anyone else , carly . last time i checked , i was your husband . or does that not matter anymore ?

[ scene_break ] jax : i understand what you 're going through . i 've understood since the day michael was shot . so how did i become the enemy ? carly : i have to protect my son . jax : against me ? carly : you 've given up on him . jax : well , you 've given up on us . carly : this is n't about us , jax . jax : you know , you do n't listen to me . you sure as hell wo n't let me help you . i mean , you -- you 've shut out everyone that disagrees with you . carly : i will carry this on my own if i have to . i do n't want to , but i will . jax : this is the time that we should be supporting each other , not fighting . carly : right . i wanted your support , you know , the first 24 hours when we did n't know if michael was going to live or die , but you were stranded on some runway in houston and i sat there praying to god that you 'd walk in that door and you would take me in your arms and hold me -- jax : look , i know going to houston was a mistake . it was a mistake that i 'll always regret , but i 'm here now . carly : but your mistakes do n't compare to mine . way back when , when i made the decision to lie and tell everyone that jason was michael 's father -- i 've been defending that lie for a decade . i have been defending the bad decision to bring my child -- my children into their father 's life . jax : you ca n't undo the past , okay ? but you can make wiser choices for the future . carly : okay , look , you do n't have to do this , okay ? you do n't . i can take care of michael all by myself . jax : why ? because you have to be right , no matter what the truth is ? carly : no . jax : you and michael against the world ? carly : i will not turn my back on my son , not even for you , jax . [ scene_break ] sonny : well , are n't you the one who just testified in court on anthony 's behalf , which means he 's free because of you ? claudia : it was ric 's idea to get my father out . he 's the one that put together all the testimony and all the witnesses . trust me ; your brother gets all the credit for this one . luke : you got to love it when this woman says `` trust me . `` claudia : look , you were n't there . it was clear from opening arguments that my father was going to be released . luke : so , naturally , you flipped to the winning side . claudia : now that my father is relatively a sane man , his greatest weakness is once again his ego . he likes to bully people in his life , especially the women in his life . so he thinks i lied on the stand because i 'm afraid of him . luke : are n't you ? claudia : i 'm not afraid of anything . my father 's an evil bastard , but i stopped being afraid of him a long time ago . sonny : so now you father believes he 's in charge , that way , he wo n't see it coming when you decide to kill him because that 's kind of like your pattern . claudia : what 's that supposed to mean ? sonny : well , you let the target think that they 're safe , just like when we negotiated the truce , right ? and then when they let their guard down , you kill them .

[ scene_break ] sonny : it 's pretty obvious . you and your brother have plenty of reasons to hate me . some of them are valid , i 'd have to admit . claudia : you mean like you locking johnny in a padded cell and having him beaten . luke : so you figured a little judicious murder would soothe the emotional wounds . claudia : i was standing in the middle of the metro court hotel talking to carly when her kid was shot . sonny : i never said you pulled the trigger . you would n't get your hands dirty . you 'd get somebody else to do it for you . and maybe they missed and shot my son ! claudia : i 'm not your only enemy , sonny . my father has been sane for months , certainly long enough to plan a hit , maybe with the help of his new best friend , ric . sonny : okay , you got proof ? claudia : no , not yet , but the list just keeps getting longer . i mean , there 's ric 's father , trevor . sonny : mm - hmm . claudia : any thug who wants to move drugs through port charles knows you 're in the way . or the friends and the families of anyone you 've eliminated . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for what happened to your kid in that warehouse , but do n't lay it on me . you brought it on yourself .

[ scene_break ] skye : let 's see . things you need to know to survive being a quartermaine . never turn your back on tracy . she 's sneaky , she 's spiteful , basically a miserable waste of a person , with daddy issues . edward never really had much use for girl children . eons ago , when tracy was just a child , he really did n't think they were emotionally equipped to run the business , which was his main priority back then . consequently , tracy has spent her entire life trying to prove herself , win daddy 's approval . so any woman who comes into edward 's life , especially one who might stand to inherit something , she sees as a threat to be removed by any means necessary . tracy : and to put it briefly , skye is a gold - digging tramp . maya : oh , kind of how you see me , right ? tracy : you have n't earned the title of tramp yet . maya : let me tell you again , tracy , i am not here for edward 's money . tracy : ha ha ha ha ! did you forget that i confiscated your letters ? `` money `` was practically the first word on the page . maya : okay , i asked for a loan . edward made it contingent on meal and my sister living here . i had my reasons for accepting his conditions , mostly having to do with my own family , my real family , the wards . i wan na know more about them , and what more logical place than port charles ? so , you see , i am not going anywhere , and i ca n't be bought . this face , i suggest you get used to it .

[ sniffs ] ethan : i mean , you do realize that sort of thing tends to send the masses into a panic ? it makes people think you 're seriously considering cashing in all your chips . luke : and what about you ? are you panicked ? do you think i should do the 12-step cha - cha ? ethan : come on . you know i 'm in no position to pass judgment . i mean , over the years , i 've developed a taste for fine whiskey myself , so i ca n't exactly push you to clean up your act when i have no intention of doing so . luke : and why would you ? that farce the other night was just lucky trying to comprehend the incomprehensible , just him trying to make sense of jake 's death . he just ca n't wrap his head around the fact that it was a terrible , random accident . he thinks you fix dad , you fix the world . well , it does n't work like that . i 'm afraid nothing is ever going to bring that little boy back . ethan : you do n't think lucky knows that ? luke : he knows . he just ca n't accept the fact that i could hit a 4-year - old and keep driving unless i was sauced . he needs me to say that i have a problem i do n't have . ethan : even if all lucky 's looking for is closure , why not just suck it up and tell him what he wants to hear ? luke : no . i wo n't do it . i 'm not going to put the label alcoholic on myself when i 'm not . i know alcoholism , dodge . i knew a drunk intimately , a mean , nasty son of a bitch who only thought about his next drink . that is not me . and it never will be . [ scene_break ] justice of the peace : are we waiting on any late arrivals ? siobhan : no . justice of the peace : you sure ? lucky : last chance to back out . siobhan : i told you i 'd marry you , did n't i ? let 's just get on with it already . lucky : i know that this is unconventional , but it 's right , and i look forward to the adventure that we 're about to embark on together . [ scene_break ] sonny : suzanne went out of her way to get close to brenda , earn her trust . at first , i thought it was part of , you know , theo 's end game , getting back at brenda for killing their son . then the little boy shows up . complete chaos . dante : it makes you wonder if suzanne was trying to -- this is part of something bigger . i do n't know . kidnapping lucian , the whole thing . i do n't know . what about the adoption papers ? did spinelli get anything on that ? sonny : everything checked out . but i thought the dna test would be , you know -- it would answer the big question . but the little kid disappeared before we could do it . dante : when was the dna test -- sonny : morning after the little kid disappeared . there we are . dante : who asked for the dna test ? sonny : well , i pushed for it because i thought that was the best thing to do . but then , brenda refused because she felt like i was telling her that she did n't know her son . dante : what made her reconsider ? sonny : she talked to robin , right ? robin told her that the dna test would be the best thing for everybody , including her son . dante : what about suzanne ? did she know about this ? sonny : you thinking what i 'm thinking ? dante : yeah . we just got our motive . [ scene_break ] ethan : this drunk you knew , what happened to him ? luke : he disappeared . hopefully , he 's long dead . ethan : that 's all right . if you do n't want to talk about it , i understand . do n't worry . luke : the son of a bitch i 'm talking about was your grandfather , dodge . the late , unlamented tim spencer . he was a mean , nasty drunk . he was an alcoholic . he went to sleep every night with a bottle next to his bed . he woke up every morning reaching for that bottle and starting over . he used to beat my mother senseless . and when she was down for the count , he 'd start in on me . when i was seven , he put me in the hospital with a broken collar bone , two cracked ribs , and a concussion . and why ? because i foolishly tried to stop him from killing my mother . ethan : i 'm sorry . i did n't know . luke : dear old dad was a dock worker . he was uneducated . and he had a big chip on his shoulder . he cared about nothing but where he was going to get his next drink . when i was nine , he beat my mother so badly , she laid in bed for two days , afraid to go to the doctor . and when my little sister bobbie and i came home from school , we found her dead . the old man was there , sitting at the kitchen table , drinking . he did n't say a word . he just finished his bottle and walked out , and we never saw him again . so i think you can see why i will not accept this label people are trying to put on me . i am not like tim spencer . if i was , i would have put a gun to my head a long time ago , believe me . but i 'm not . i am not an alcoholic .

nikolas : yes . not on purpose , but yes . lulu : wait . so you 're saying that your father and my mother -- nikolas : our mother . they were -- they were married once . it was a long time ago . it 's a long story . lulu : so that would make you nikolas cassadine . nikolas : correct . but in the interest of full disclosure , my name is prince nikolas mikhail stavrosovich cassadine . lulu : that 's a mouthful . nikolas : i know . may i ? lulu : uh , yeah . i 'm sorry . yeah , come in . nikolas : you usually call me nikolas , but ... actually , that 's not entirely true . when you were a little girl , you -- you called me nikki . lulu : oh . how can you be related to him ? nikolas : my family has hurt yours in a countless number of ways . maybe you do n't want to remember who i am because i 'm a cassadine , and that 's okay . lulu : no , it 's not true . i want to remember everyone and everything , good , bad , and otherwise . i do . nikolas : all right , that 's great to hear . but if it 's true , i ... i have to ask you , lulu -- what are you doing here ? lulu : dante wants me to remember everything right now , and it 's too much pressure . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i want to remember my husband , but when i look at him , he just loves me so much , you know ? nikolas : yes , i do . lulu : he keeps swearing that he 's never gon na give up on me , but i ... i mean , i can see what all this is doing to him . nikolas : well , if love were easy ... would n't mean much to have it . lulu : or to lose it . nikolas : i said those words to you once . you remember that ? maxie : dante and lulu are in the middle of a crisis . dante 's wife does n't even recognize him . are you going to make him feel even worse by telling him he 's not gon na be a father ? [ knock on door ] dante : maxie , it 's dante . maxie : not one word . dante : you in there ? it 's important . maxie : hey , come on in . dante : hey . ellie : [ sighs ] patrick : what are you doing ? why are you yelling at britt like that ? britt : yeah , i 'd like to know the same thing . here i am , minding my own business , trying to think of anything else besides morning sickness , and out of nowhere , sabrina starts screaming at me . patrick : sabrina , i 'm pretty sure that you can see that she 's not feeling well . sabrina : i can see that she wants you to think she 's not feeling well . patrick : what does that mean ? what are you saying ? sabrina : she 's faking . there are women who sacrifice so much . sabrina : elizabeth never actually saw her get sick . she was already on the floor . patrick : well , maybe she passed out when she was alone . sabrina : yeah , well , it 's not that hard to fake morning sickness . in fact , it 's almost as easy as pretending that you 're gon na have an abortion when you have no intention of doing so . patrick : what ? sabrina : felix and i both think that britt told you she was gon na terminate the pregnancy in order to manipulate you into stopping her . britt : that is reprehensible . sabrina : oh , my point exactly . reprehensible is dr. westbourne 's m.o . patrick : sabrina , please ... sabrina : patrick , she was manipulating you , okay ? and it worked . and now you 've promised to take care of britt and the baby , but you know what ? that 's not enough for her . so she 's gon na fake this morning sickness in order to reel you in even more and ... that 's working , too . patrick : i would say that 's pretty elaborate . britt : yeah . sabrina : look , for anybody else ? yeah , maybe . but consider everything she 's done to you , to us , to emma . do you really think it 's that farfetched ? elizabeth : oh . it 's done . aj : yes ! okay , great ! okay , listen -- go back to your place , go get packed , and i 'll pick you up there in half an hour . elizabeth : okay . looking forward to it . aj : all right . uh -- oh ! spinelli . yeah , tell me -- what 's your good news . spinelli : well , i 'm happy to report that after much evasion on betsy frank 's part , i was able to extract information about your long - lost niece . aj : yes ! ha ha ! score one for the good guys . all right , we 're hot on lauren frank 's trail , and tracy is still in the dark . nice work . tracy : luke , you know where lauren frank is ? luke : once i was sure that lulu was okay , i put my attention where it was welcome . and i did come up with some information regarding the missing heiress . tracy : what did you find ? luke : her grandmother . all you need to know about that woman is that she considers heather webber one of her closest , dearest friends . tracy : ay . well , was the obviously disturbed woman any help at all ? luke : somewhat . i was able to wrangle out of her lauren frank 's latest address . she 's in new york city . aj : so , ms . frank corroborated what heather reported , that franco 's former wife , lauren 's mother , not only barred him from seeing his daughter but -- aj : who could blame her ? spinelli : right . but also barred the grandmother from contact , as well , and , as such , ms . frank is quite bitter , and so she graced me with a lead about lauren 's whereabouts . spinelli : where exactly are these leads leading us ? new york city . aj : great . good . get going before tracy figures out we know something she does n't . tracy : oh , you great big beautiful bounder ! luke : mmm ! tracy : oh . i knew that ... i would be better off with you than with that bumbling sock puppet that aj hired . luke : well , that bumbling sock puppet also found betsy . maxie : what 's up ? how 's lulu ? dante : pretty much the same . i think i made a little bit of progress yesterday , though . maxie : is she starting to remember ? dante : sort of . we were at the floating rib . i was telling her how we met there , and it seemed like something was coming back to her , and then milo walks in , and then whatever memory that was was gone . maxie : well , that sounds like progress . dante : right , right . so i want to take advantage of that . i think if she sees you now , it 'll help nudge her in the right direction , especially when she sees how pregnant you are with our kid . nikolas : lulu , you just finished my sentence . lulu : i did . nikolas : i said that to you many years ago . do you remember ? love comes and goes when it wants . what we 're left with is what we 're meant to carry , i suppose . i mean , if it were easy ... would n't mean much to have ... or lose . lulu : [ scoffs ] no , it ... it 's gone . it 's gone . nikolas : that 's all right . milo : hey , nikolas . nikolas : milo . milo : i heard you were up and around after taking that bullet . nikolas : yeah , and i heard that you were harboring my traumatized sister against dante 's wishes . lulu : no , please do n't be mad at milo , okay ? i want to be here . i -- i feel really safe here . milo : yeah . you got to know that i would never , ever do anything to hurt lulu . nikolas : you better not , or you 'll answer to me . not good . milo : get in line . nikolas : listen , lulu , i 'm sorry , but i have to run . i have a business trip , okay ? lulu : oh , um , well , how long will you be gone ? nikolas : just a couple of days , and i promise i 'll come back and see you as soon as i return . lulu : i would really like that . nikolas : listen ... if you remember nothing else , just remember this one thing , okay ? people who love you ... they wo n't abandon you , no matter how tough it gets for them . you 're worth too much to everyone . milo : you okay ? lulu : oh , god , milo . i 'm hurting so many people . dante : so , you come with me , come see her ? maxie : well , connie gave me the morning off so i could go to my checkup , but if we hurry , we could see lulu before my appointment . come on . ellie : detective falconeri , wait ! this day calls you . [ doorbell rings ] elizabeth : aj 's here . tracy : spinelli found lauren frank 's grandmother , too ? luke : that 's what i just said . tracy : well , why are you still standing here saying it ? could you please head frodo off at the pass ? luke : relax , spanky . spinelli is not gon na be a problem . tracy : why am i not reassured ? oh , i know . because every time you say something 's not gon na be a problem , it always ends up being a problem . [ door closes ] tracy : if aj beats me to the punch ... aj : did i hear somebody say something about a punch ? tracy : yes . want one ? aj : mm . you know , tracy , maybe you ought to really consider getting out of the relish game . i do n't know . maybe consider , uh ... non - carbonated soft drinks . i mean , anything 's better than that poor excuse for a condiment that you 're calling pickle - tracy . tracy : if you are referring to the relish formerly known as pickle - lila , i have complete confidence in the quality of my product . aj : yeah , i do n't know . i just think that maybe the branding is off , you know ? maybe you ought to change the name to , um ... sour - tracy . and that way , the name will match the face on the outside . luke . luke : aj . tracy : what my nephew does n't know is that my relish is no longer called pickle - tracy . i give you ... pickle - eddie . luke : you put edward 's face on the jar ? tracy : pickle - eddie and i are going to ambush aj on `` the chew `` tomorrow . luke : oh , daytime tv . how industrious of you . tracy : well , actually , it 's my new business partner -- nikolas cassadine . he used his princely influence to get us booked . my father would be so proud to know that his face and i are gon na be on national television . luke : well , personally , i would never eat anything with this crusty old curmudgeon 's grumpy face on it . and adding nikolas cassadine to the mix does n't exactly make it more appetizing . tracy : i 'm gon na assume that your sudden mood swing has something to do with your concern over lulu 's well - being . or maybe it 's ... laura . scott : what if -- and this is a big `` what if `` -- what if she does n't get her memory back ? laura : i need my daughter to be at our wedding . until she gets her memory back , there is n't gon na be a wedding . sorry . non - negotiable . scott : i know , but you got to be realistic . i mean ... this could go on for a very long time . laura : yeah . it could . scott : so , you 're okay with the wait . are you sure that this is about lulu , or are you delaying our wedding because of luke ? milo : can you tell me what happened with nikolas ? lulu : well , he said he 's my brother -- my half brother . and obviously , he cares about me , and he seemed really , really nice . and i just wish that i had any idea who he was at all . and dante ? dante tried so hard last night to help me remember the first time we met , and i ... milo : did it work ? lulu : a little . i ... i think it did . there was , like , this tiny flash of something , and , uh ... and then you walked into the bar , and ... it was just gone . milo : i 'm sorry . lulu : no . do n't be if anyone should be sorry ... it should be me . milo : why ? what did you do ? lulu : that 's the point . i have n't done anything . poor dante is ... he 's trying too hard . and i 'm not trying at all -- not really . i ... he 's full of so much hope , milo , and i ... i let him down . i just keep letting him down . i 'm letting everyone down . dante : ellie , is it important ? ellie : i ... i just wanted to say i hope lulu recovers . maxie : oh , great . come on . come on , dante , let 's go . dante : yeah . spinelli : oh . dante , maxie -- maxie : sorry , spinelli , we do n't have time ! spinelli : okay . hey . uh ... were they rushing out because something 's wrong with the baby ? ellie : um , no . they just wanted to see lulu to try to jog her memory . spinelli : well , i hope it works . ellie : yeah , as do i . spinelli : ellie , i know that face . that 's your crisis face . so that begs the question ... what crisis is brewing now ? ellie : [ sighs ] you have no idea . spinelli : you know , i think i do . you lied to me about maxie 's baby . britt : it 's okay , patrick . i have n't really given sabrina any other reason to think -- oh . oh , i am -- i 'm so sorry . i just -- i need to close my eyes for just a minute . patrick : relax . britt : oh . patrick : once we get the blood work back , we 'll put an i.v . in and combat the dehydration . in the meantime ... here . drink this . britt : thank you . [ door opens ] patrick : excuse me for a second . sabrina . hey . sabrina : patrick , how can you give her the benefit of the doubt ? patrick : i 'm sorry , okay ? look , i 'm sorry for going off on you . i was just surprised to walk in and see you yelling at her like that . sabrina : i was only yelling at her because she 's lying . patrick : probably . yeah , she 's probably lying . sabrina : okay . so you do n't believe her . patrick : frankly , she 's probably lying about everything . look , i know that she did terrible things to you and emma , and i do n't trust her . sabrina : but what ? patrick : but , frankly , i ... i ca n't jump to the same conclusions that everyone else is jumping to . sabrina : i did n't jump to any conclusions . i just took a few small steps , and there the conclusions were . patrick : listen to me -- as a doctor , but , more importantly , as a father to that child , i have to take her health at face value , all right ? as far as her manipulating me with the abortion -- sabrina : she did . she was , just like she 's manipulating you with the pregnancy . patrick : it does n't matter anymore . sabrina : patrick , i really think felix is right about this . and britt is not gon na stop . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : okay . look , did you get a chance to talk to britt 's ob ? i mean , is this terrible morning sickness new , or has she had it all along , and if so , how come she did n't say anything about it ? patrick : her ob was on her way to delivery . they took blood work yesterday . i 'm waiting for the results . excuse me , dr. drake , i have dr. westbourne 's blood work from yesterday and today . dr. v left instructions to give this directly to you . patrick : thank you . thanks . sabrina : i 'm willing to bet that those results prove that she 's lying her heart out in there . patrick : we 'll find out if you 're right . septic system breakdowns affect over 1 million homes a year ... elizabeth : what are you doing here ? nikolas : obviously , i came to see you . and it looks like i got a bonus ! is that aiden ? huh ? come here ! elizabeth : aiden , this is your daddy 's brother . it 's uncle nikolas . nikolas : come here . give me a hug . give me a big hug . look at you . here . here you go . oh , gosh , the last time i saw you , you were ... like a little peanut . so big . i 'm sorry . i hope you do n't mind me surprising you like this . elizabeth : no , it 's -- it 's fine , always . nikolas : i mean , i did -- i did warn you that i was n't gon na give up on you , did n't i ? elizabeth : nikolas ... aj and i worked things out . nikolas : you did . elizabeth : in fact , he 's on his way over here right now . he 's taking me to new york for the night . nikolas : oh . scott : you were gone with luke for a very long time . laura : yes , searching for our daughter . scott : okay , but look at it from my perspective . night after night , laura , i did n't know whether you were dead or alive . laura : scotty , there was no way to reach you . if i could have called , i would have . scott : you asked me to look after nikolas , and i did . i got very little sleep waiting for him to recover while you were off on some adventure with luke looking for your daughter . luke : laura and i were n't exactly on a pleasure cruise , spanky . tracy : exactly my point . it was more of an adventure . luke : it was a rescue mission to save our daughter from a madman . tracy : yeah . there is nothing romantic about that . luke : will you get off this sentiment ? ! it does n't wear well on you . stick to the facts . tracy : such as ? luke : such as she 's planning to marry that reptilian shyster baldwin . tracy : [ laughing ] oh ! there 's the dark mood . luke : no , the dark mood has to do with you heckling me about a subject that is , has been , and forever will be closed ! tracy : really ? and what exactly were you doing right before you found out that stavros had nabbed lulu ? you donned your superhero cape and swooped into the courtroom and prevented laura from marrying the wrong groom . luke : your point ? tracy : why do n't you stage a repeat performance ? laura : we were so worried about our daughter , we did n't have time to reminisce . scott : yes , but before lulu disappeared , he interrupted our wedding . laura : i recall . scott : okay . so what are you gon na do the next time we go to get married and he interrupts ? [ knock on door ] milo : i should get that . dante : what the hell is this ? maxie : hi , milo . nice abs . what you working on there , an eight - pack ? milo : just doing a little -- dante : dude , go put some freaking clothes on ! you 're in here with my wife , for crying out loud . maxie : huh . lulu : dante ... dante : lulu , this is maxie . maxie : hi , lulu . i 'm maxie , your best friend , although you do get mad at me sometimes . lulu : maxie . right . of course . dante : you remember her ? lulu : um , no . just what you told me ... that , um ... you 're carrying the child that dante says we want . maxie : yeah . see ? it 's your baby in there , rolling around like it 's running laps . dante : if -- if i may ? spinelli : you promised me that you would refrain from delving into this alleged mystery of maxie 's , and then you turn around and , in one phone call , you took advantage of my trust and of my technical prowess . ellie , you tricked me into helping you hack into maxie 's personal medical records , which is not only unethical but it 's illegal . ellie : i was convinced that maxie and dr. westbourne were hiding something . i thought there could be a serious problem with the baby . you knew how concerned i was . spinelli : and you knew how loathe i was for us to get involved in maxie 's personal affairs . and , ultimately , this breach of trust and breaking the law was for nothing , right ? the only positive outcome of this relentless pursuit is that your suspicion has been disproved . dr. westbourne and maxie are n't hiding anything . ellie : yes , they are . patrick : your ob , dr. v , gave me permission to go over your blood work , and i 'm ... i 'm afraid there 's an issue . britt : what is it ? there 's not anything wrong with our baby , is there ? patrick : your blood work shows that your suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum . britt : oh , my god . patrick : it happens . you know , it 's the same illness that put kate middleton in the hospital in her early pregnancy . because of your low potassium levels , there 's concern for cardiac arrhythmias in both you and the baby , and i do n't have to tell you that that ... could be fatal . britt : well , sabrina ... i really wish i was faking . if you 're looking for help relieving heartburn , laura : i do n't want to talk about luke . i just want to see my daughter . scott : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to badger you . it 's just an occupational hazard . laura : [ laughs ] scott : you know , i just -- i just missed you , and i want us to get married before anything else happens . laura : nothing 's going to happen . in fact , i will take you out to dinner tonight to prove it to you . scott : you 're taking me to dinner tonight ? laura : if you 're accepting . scott : i 'm accepting . laura : okay , great . i 'll meet you here in the lobby at 7 : 30 . scott : okay . well , i 've wasted enough of your time . let 's get these pictures over to lulu and hope she gets her memory back . laura : thank you . scott : so there 's no reason for you not to marry me . luke : what you 're saying is , instead of sniffing out lauren frank , i should be snuffing out laura and baldwin 's wedding . tracy : oh , luke . that is exactly what i 'm not saying . you have plenty of time to thwart your rival 's next attempt to marry your stupid soul mate . what you should be doing is looking for the errant heir with the elq shares . luke : i 'll get right on it . tracy : thank you . luke : soon . tracy : no . the nature of getting `` right on it `` is now , not soon . luke : first i have to make sure my daughter is okay . tracy : well , i agree . you have to make sure lulu is okay , and once you are sure she is safe , bring me my niece before spinelli finds her for aj . luke : thank you for your compassion . tracy : [ sighs ] aj : [ laughs ] wait a second . hold on . do n't tell me . do n't tell me . you just tried to bribe luke to coming back to you , but even he 's not that desperate for cash , right ? tracy : nice luggage . you finally going to rehab , or are you getting extradited ? i know you 're not leaving mommy 's home to make it in the big world as an adult . aj : you 'll find out soon enough . bye . tracy : yep . nikolas and i will be there to see you . nikolas : so , uh , you and aj going to new york for fun or ... ? elizabeth : for me , yes , but aj 's gon na be on the tv show `` the chew . `` he 's showcasing his grandmother 's relish . nikolas : really ? a little soon for overnights . elizabeth : we 're in separate rooms . nikolas : well , i 'm sure , if aj stays true to form , there will be a mix - up with the reservation , and the only room available will be the honeymoon suite -- elizabeth : that 'll be perfect . and then he can sleep in the heart - shaped jacuzzi . nikolas : so , where you staying ? elizabeth : hotel central . nikolas : oh , nice . elizabeth : i 'm sorry if i 'm hurting you . i just feel like i at least need to see where things go with aj nikolas : it 's all right . i 'm not hurt . i 'm jealous . but , you know , i get it , just as long as you get that it does n't change anything . i want you . elizabeth : i need to go back . nikolas : okay . you have fun in new york . and , uh , i 'll see you around , okay ? elizabeth : okay . sabrina : you two probably need to talk . excuse me .

[ laughs ] wow . wow . dante : that 's our baby , lulu . we saw the baby 's sonogram picture . i mean , it was -- it was really something else . dante : that 's a strong heartbeat . i mean , that is a strong heartbeat , right ? britt : everything looks perfect . lulu : i ca n't believe this . that 's our baby . you still think it looks like an alien ? dante : are you kidding me ? that is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen . it 's a little part of you and me . we heard the baby 's heartbeat that day . it was the most amazing sound we 'd ever heard . it was one of the greatest moments of our life together . what is it ? what is it ? something 's coming back , right ? lulu : yeah . milo : i am dressed now , so it is all good . dante : milo , did anyone ever tell you you have the worst timing ever ? lulu : you know , i do n't -- i do n't know if i 'm remembering it , or maybe i 'm just imagining what you 're describing . i 'm not sure . maxie : i have an idea . why do n't you come with me to my doctor 's appointment ? lulu : is that okay ? maxie : yeah . you guys were doing it all the time , and maybe if you 're at the place where you saw the sonogram for the first time , you 'll remember something . spinelli : is there something wrong with the baby ? ellie : the baby 's healthy , but maxie and dr. westbourne are definitely keeping a secret . spinelli : but you already told me that you searched maxie 's medical records and found nothing amiss . ellie : not true . i most definitely found something amiss . patrick : are you okay ? sabrina : yeah , i 'm fine . look , i do regret going off on her the way i did before . it was unprofessional , and i did n't have any evidence . patrick : it 's understandable . after everything britt pulled on you , it 's no wonder you think she 's faking . believe me , i 've thought the same thing . sabrina : and then we got the test results . patrick : and it 's conclusive . look , like it or not , britt is pregnant with my child , and i am her sole source of support , okay ? sabrina , i have to make sure that this baby 's healthy . sabrina : of course . i understand . britt : thanks again for helping me out . i really appreciate it . brad : yeah , no problem , as long as you remember to keep up your end of the deal . britt : yeah , yeah , do n't worry . i 'll make sure you get that promotion . quid pro quo .

[ chuckles ] [ knock on door ] laura : [ chuckles ] | nikolas visits lulu at milo 's apartment . he tells her that laura is his mother and stavros cassadine is his father . he apologizes for failing to save her from his father . he wonders why she is at milo 's place . she says dante loves her to much to be around him . he says , `` if love were easy , then it would n't mean much to have it . `` she finishes his sentence , but says she does n't remember how she knew it . lulu observes to milo that she is hurting a lot of people . she says dante is trying too hard , but she is n't trying at all . milo puts his arms around her . dante and maxie knock on the door . milo answers it wearing only underwear and an open robe . maxie likes the view , but dante orders milo to out on some clothes . lulu does n't remember maxie . dante puts lulu 's hand on maxie 's belly . the baby moves . maxie invites lulu to go with her to her check - up . at the hospital , patrick hears sabrina calling britt out on faking morning sickness to get patrick 's attention . she says it is no more difficult to fake morning sickness than it is to pretend to want an abortion that you have no intention of having . patrick follows sabrina outside and tells her that he knows that britt is probably lying about everything , but that as a doctor and potential father , he has to take medical issues at face value . a technician brings britt 's lab results to patrick . patrick relays to that there is a serious problem with her pregnancy . later , britt thanks the lab technician for faking the report and promises him a promotion in return . spinelli confronts ellie about lying to him to get him to help her break the law and hack into maxie 's medical records . she tells him that she found out that maxie had a miscarriage . |

[ scene_break ] [ stairs creak , footsteps ] jake : so , uh , cam 's out like a light .

[ clears throat ] so , you want me to leave , or , uh , is there a chance we could talk ? elizabeth : there 's so much to say . i do n't know where to begin . jake : well , that lying fraud who was n't my wife -- that 's a good place to start , do n't you think ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : you should n't be here . hayden : if i followed the list of things i should n't do , you would n't be nearly as happy a camper as you have been since you met me . i would n't be , either . nikolas : i still have n't heard an explanation for your presence in my bed . hayden : you were there at the nurses ' ball tonight . you saw everything go down . ca n't you figure it out ? i 'm homeless . carly told the world i 'm not jake 's wife , and then she evicted me for good measure . would n't even let me go to my room and pack my bags . nikolas : yes , carly takes offense when someone tries to deceive a friend of hers . hayden : i need a bed . i figured yours must be extra - comfy ... what with you being a prince and all . so , come on . do n't be stingy . give it up . come share what the good lord gave you .

[ scene_break ] nathan : we got to rethink our strategy . ellie : clearly . i mean ... damian and maxie remain united despite our many displays of affection . you nuzzled me all night , and it did n't garner so much as a peep of protest . nathan : maxie hates to admit when she 's wrong . ellie : [ sighs ] so does damian . nathan : well , we need to up our game . i thought for sure that the whole magic milo thing was gon na make him jealous . ellie : [ scoffs ] as did i when i brazenly copped a feel of your marble - hard rear . nathan : well , it 's gon na take more than that to get through their stubborn shells . ellie : okay . but what ?

[ scene_break ] jake : carly was onto hayden from day one . you remember that scene when she barged into hayden 's hotel room . elizabeth : it 's hard to forget . jake : yeah . well , carly knew that hayden was n't my wife , and she would n't back down . not even when presented with medical records which , somehow , ric must have gotten from a hospital . elizabeth : carly would never be swayed by a little thing like medical evidence . jake : no , i guess not . she 's got good instincts . she always seems to give me the exact right advice . you know , if i 'd have just listened to her , this whole mess would have been avoided . elizabeth : no . no , do n't -- do n't blame yourself . hayden offered you something that you 've been looking for ... something that no one else can provide -- a past . jake : [ clears throat ] you know ... you also knew that hayden was n't my wife . i mean , maybe you did n't tell me that , not in so many words , but deep down , you knew she was hustling me . elizabeth : too deep for it to do any good . think it was just wishful thinking . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . maybe -- maybe if i just listened to my intuition , i could have save you the heartache . but instead i listened to ric , and i should have -- i should have known not to trust him . this was all about him wanting to -- to get me at any cost . and i did n't help by wavering , and i gave him a - a -- i made him think that he had a chance . god , everything he did to you is my fault . jake : okay . th - that 's where you need to stop . you need to stop right there . elizabeth : he -- he wanted you to believe a pack of lies . jake : okay . well , now those lies are out in the open . they no longer exist . okay ? look , it 's not your fault that i 'm still in the dark about who i am . [ scene_break ] nikolas : get dressed , hayden . hayden : so tense . i can see your knots from here . let me untie them . then you can tie me . nikolas : i 'm not in the mood . hayden : want to run that by me again ? [ scene_break ] duke : so , there 's nothing between you and kyle ? anna : oh , no . less than nothing . it 's -- it 's -- but what does it matter ? because you have an actual relationship , do n't you ? with lucy . duke : no . no . we just brought a gentle end to our blossoming romance . uh ... it was n't right . we were treading water . i came to your room to tell you that lucy and i were no longer together . anna : was there anything else you were intending to tell me ? duke : one more thing . my life 's been empty without you . i 've been completely lost . i should have tried much harder to hold onto you . if i had a chance again , i would n't make the same mistakes . i ... i would n't let us down this time , anna . anna : so ... there 's no lucy ? duke : there 's no lucy . there 's no kyle . so there 's nothing to stop us from coming back together . anna : well , there is . [ sniffles ] there is one thing in our way . stop . [ scene_break ] alexis : stop it right now . jordan : come on . alexis : or i 'm gon na have you arrested . shawn : do it . [ clears throat ] but your boyfriend 's gon na have a lot of explaining to do . jordan : shawn , enough . julian : [ coughing ] alexis : what is he talking about ? shawn : oh , julian does n't discuss his business with you ? alexis : would you like to chime in ? julian : i have no idea what he 's talking about . shawn : his people took a shot at jordan yesterday at the docks . tried to take her out . julian : [ scoffs ] whoa . that is the first time hearing about that . shawn : oh , you want us to believe you had no knowledge about this ? huh ? that any of your people can keep a secret from you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : you want to talk to me about julian ? sam : to you and -- and to ned , actually . ned : what about me ? sam : uh ... [ sighs ] it 's about the secret you 're keeping from my father . olivia : what secret ? sam : that ned is n't the father of your baby . julian is . i overheard your conversation at general hospital . olivia : well , you obviously misunderstood something i was saying . sam : no , i heard it loud and clear . you were telling ned that dante does n't suspect that julian is the father of your baby . let 's just accept that i know the truth now . so , do n't you think it 's time my father knows , too ? [ scene_break ] julian : i did n't go after you , jordan . i have no reason to . jordan : you really expect me to believe that ? shawn : you tried to kill her before . julian : she betrayed luke . he demanded that her treachery be punished . i was forced -- the man was threatening my family , all right ? shawn : who 's pulling your strings now ? julian : i 'm my own man . and if i wanted a cipher like jordan dead , she would be dead . alexis : you know what ? this is n't helping . julian : [ sighs ] if i were to target anybody in sonny 's crew , it certainly would n't be jordan . jordan : and what the hell does that mean ? julian : you 're not worth my bullet . that 's what it means . so you do n't have to worry about your piece of ass , shawn -- [ shawn decks julian ] alexis : what -- [ scene_break ] anna : regardless of how we feel , we ca n't be together if you 're gon na continue along this path with sonny corinthos . duke : oh , but , anna , sonny and i -- anna : no , you are running a criminal empire that i have been charged to bring to justice . god . all those years we spent trying to extract you from the mob , and here we are right back where we started -- on opposite sides ... like when we first met . duke : anna ... what if i 've come up with a way to -- to -- to fix that ? what if i 've come up with a way to remove the obstacle that stops us from being together ? anna : what are you saying ? duke : i 'll leave the mob . [ scene_break ] jake : hey . hey . [ clears throat ] you realize my troubles are not your problem , right ? they 're not your fault . nikolas : i do n't know if i can watch you do this . elizabeth : it 's not your choice to make anymore . it 's mine . finally , after all these years , i get a chance to be with jason . i 'm -- i get a chance to be happy . please , nikolas ... if you ever loved me ... tell me you 'll keep our secret . [ sighs ] i would n't go that far . jake : okay , tell you what . would it help if i went out and found ric , beat the hell out of him -- i mean beat the hell out of him ? elizabeth : what ? no . no . jake : i could do that . now , before , i did n't really see the point because , well , he lost you . and there 's not really much more i could do to him that 's worse than that . but now that i see you standing here blaming yourself for what he did , i got to tell you , it 's starting to really piss me off . elizabeth : no , i do n't want you to go beat ric up . please . jake : okay . elizabeth : he had to be desperate to do what he did . not that it 's an excuse , but ... you 're right . he 's already lost . jake : [ sighs ] okay . i 'll back off . but you have to agree that this is on ric and not you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] agreed . jake : and you have to agree that this is over . elizabeth : over ? wh -- jake : it 's over . ric , hayden -- they are gone . they 're out of our lives . so that leaves us to -- i do n't know ... start fresh . or better yet , pick up where we left off . i mean , i really do n't see a reason why we should n't . do you ? [ scene_break ] hayden : you 've had a rough night . mine has n't been a picnic , either . but we both know a way to salvage it . a lot of ways , actually . come on , do n't worry so much . we 'll keep the noise down . nikolas : [ chuckles ] hayden : unless you do that thing with your tongue ... in which case all bets are off . nikolas : hayden ... hayden : come on . you want me . stop fighting it . stop fighting me . just take me . [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : you brute ! you varmint ! you cur ! how dare you ? ! how dare you press your grotesque physique upon the delicate creature of ellie ? ! nathan : press myself ? spinelli : yes . could n't you see her squirming in your wanton grasp ? writhing in your thuggish grip ? nathan : i think those were squirms of ecstasy . ellie : yes . ecstasy . spinelli : you are in no emotional state to allow this villain to paw at you . you 're -- you 're on the rebound ! ellie : who cares ? nathan : well , spinelli , obviously . but why ? ellie : [ sighs ] yes , damian . why should it matter if nathan and i share a heated embrace ? i thought you were blissful with maxie . spinelli : i only worry about your -- your feelings . you 're -- you 're liable to get hurt . maxie : yeah . you know what ? you two , you do n't even know each other . nathan : look , why do n't you do us a favor and worry about your own love story ? all right ? spinelli : love story ? nathan : ellie and i are starting our own -- tonight . ellie : that 's right . and the next chapter begins with nathan taking me home and rocking my world . maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : you 're damn right . let 's get out of here , and let 's get down to it . maxie : wait ! nathan : wait ? for what ? maxie : i do n't want you to go home with ellie . i want you to come home with me . nathan : maxie , i came to you before and told you i wanted you back . why 'd you turn me away ? maxie : because ! i had made a commitment to spinelli a measly five minutes before you showed up at my door and told me everything that i wanted to hear ... everything i already knew -- that we 're good together ... that we make each other happy . [ sighs ] this whole thing could have been avoided if you had n't agreed to that ridiculous boxing match . nathan , i was on my way to tell you that you are the one for me . and then i walked in on you and spinelli fighting like neanderthals , and this whole thing got out of whack . spinelli : maxie ... is this truly how you feel ? maxie : spinelli ... i 'm sorry to do this to you yet again . i thought i was over you . i thought i had let you go , and ... and i should have . i really want us to be friends and appreciate each other and be the best co - parents to georgie that we could possibly be . but you -- you deserve so much better than me . so much more . you deserve someone like ellie . and i 'm really sorry that i hurt your feelings again . i - i will always feel love for you . but my heart belongs with nathan . spinelli : maxie ... you do n't have to be sorry ... because the truth is ... ... my heart lies with ellie . [ scene_break ] hayden : [ sighs ] what 's wrong ? [ breathes deeply ] did i screw the syllables out of you ? nikolas : i got a lot on my mind . [ sighs ] hayden : let me guess . you 're worried about your friend ... the virtuous nurse elizabeth , she of the porcelain skin and never - ending ordeals . nikolas : do n't talk about elizabeth . you do n't know anything about her . hayden : please . the righteousness and suffering comes off her in waves . let me relieve you of your concerns . girl 's doing just fine . with ric exposed and me out of the way , chances are she 's well on her way to getting back together with jake ... if she has n't already . [ scene_break ] jake : you 're a good sandwich maker . this sandwich is better than the sandwich we had on our first date . elizabeth : well , it 's a new kind . maybe it 's the maple . jake : maybe . or maybe it 's the fact that the odds are against anybody ringing your doorbell and coming in and claiming that they 're my wife . or your dead husband . or -- i do n't know -- a kid , a missing pet , an accountant . elizabeth : are you saying you do n't care about your past anymore ? jake : i 'm saying that i 'm interested in living my life in the present . do you remember when we were doing this before hayden came in and dropped her bomb ? elizabeth : yeah . you -- you were talking about leaving your past behind . jake : and then i thought my past came to find me . and i was horrified because i was staring at my wife and i had no feeling for her . actually , sometimes i just plain did n't like her . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : and now i know there was nothing to remember . now that hayden 's out of my life , her lies are gone [ clears throat ] i 'm free to live my life . elizabeth : and now that i permanently kicked ric out of my life , i can do the same . jake : mm , well , almost . but not exactly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jake : there will always be jason . [ scene_break ] olivia : please , i ca n't let julian find out that i 'm carrying his baby . patrick : you do n't think the father has a right to know , olivia ? olivia : not every father . patrick ... no . ... ned : this is n't your business . sam : this is n't any of your business , either . this has to do with olivia and julian and the baby that he does n't know about . olivia : but please , please , just for a minute -- just for a minute , sam , please consider my reasons . okay ? julian is a mob boss . people get hurt and killed because of him . his -- his loved ones are targets . you were there , sam , when his enemies shot up your family dinner . lucas almost died . when i was a teenager , i came up pregnant with dante . [ sighs ] i could see the road that sonny was on . he was in the mob . he was getting worse every single day , and i did n't want that for myself . i did n't want that for my baby . of course , i felt terrible that sonny did n't get to -- to know dante growing up , but , sam , i never regretted that decision . not for one single second . because dante grew up safe and he grew up happy . and you ca n't say that for a single one of sonny 's other kids , especially michael . ned : yes . olivia : [ crying ] this baby deserves the chance to have that kind of life like dante had -- safe and happy and away from bullets and car bombs and kidnapping threats . it 's not gon na get that with julian .

[ scene_break ] duke : i 'll leave sonny and the organization . i 'll throw them away for you -- tonight . anna : you 've been hell - bent on taking julian down . what 's to stop you now ? why ? duke : this vendetta with julian has cost me so much . it 's cost me my relationship with you . julian jerome is not worth another moment without you in my life . anna : you have a real enemy in julian . how are you gon na walk away from that ? and cut ties with sonny ? that 's almost impossible . i - i mean , i 'm not saying that my situation is any easier . i 'm not the commissioner , but i 'm a federal agent now . i 'm spearheading this case against you . we ca n't wish all that away . duke : they ca n't follow through with a case against me if i 'm not around . leave here with me . let 's leave here . anna : what ? duke : come away with me tonight . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm begging you , sam , mother to mother , forget what you heard . let me do right by my kid . sam : but you doing right by your baby means doing wrong by my father . and i - i have a responsibility to him ... to my family . what , am i supposed to lie to them for the rest of our lives ? how can i keep a child from him ? it 's been done to him twice already . olivia : your conscience can be clear because you 're gon na see this kid grow up safe and happy . [ sighs ] ned is a good man . he will love this baby . he will protect it . ned : i will . sam , i will . you have my word . olivia : julian can not promise those things . he will always be a threat to the people he loves , not to mention the people that he does n't . [ voice breaking ] sam , please . i 'm begging you , please do n't tell julian . [ scene_break ] julian : sonny has no end of enemies . if we started speculating about who jordan pissed off , we 'd be here until next year 's nurses ' ball . look , i did n't take a shot at you , jordan . but if you do n't check your attitude , butler , next time i might be . [ scene_break ] anna : go away with you ? duke : [ sighs ] there 's too much stacked against us here , anna . we 've got sonny and julian on one side and the fbi on the other . let 's go someplace where nobody knows us . it 's our only chance of survival . we can start all over again . we can do it . you have the connections . you can keep us hidden . you can keep us one step ahead of anybody who 's trying to follow us . anna : but we 'd be leaving -- leaving all our family , our -- our loved ones . duke : i know leaving emma will be very hard , but we 'll still find a way to see her . we can do it . anna , we are worth it . i know it 's a life - altering decision , but do n't we deserve it ? i know it sounds selfish , but we have to start all over again . after all the unhappiness , all the decades of unhappiness , do n't we deserve something ? do n't we deserve to be together ? we can do this . do this with me . come away with me . then we never have to be apart again . please . anna : okay . yes . let 's just go away .

[ kiss ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : [ breathes deeply ] what does jason have to do with anything ? jake : well ... i 've always known the guy is important to you . but when i saw you up on that stage at the nurses ' ball , i ... there was something different in your voice . and when you told that story about jason carrying robin off the stage , there was something about how you said his name . and then i knew just how important his memory is to you . i do n't want you to have to leave that behind . elizabeth : i wo n't . i ca n't . i realized that tonight . life goes on . but jason will never be far from me . he 'll always be in my heart .

'cause i should have never trusted julian , 'cause he 's a lying piece of garbage . but i tell you what -- julian had that witness killed . and he 's gon na do anything he can to keep carlos from turning state 's witness and send his ass to prison . [ scene_break ] paul : i sympathize with your situation , mr. rivera . i am well aware of sonny corinthos ' lust for vengeance . but there 's nothing i can do to secure your release . you rejected the plea deal , so you have no other choice but to stand trial . carlos : all right . on the way back to my cell tonight , where i 'm gon na be waiting for one of sonny 's people to come kill me , i just might get the urge to tell one of those cops out there about the skeleton in your closet , da hornsby . 'cause i think a lot of people in this town would be very interested to know the true circumstances around kyle sloane 's death . paul : while i ca n't do anything to get you released , i can have you transferred to another facility . once there , i can request extra security be added to your cellblock . now , what do you feel about that ? carlos : you do n't think sonny corinthos could find me wherever i 'm locked up ? he 's a very powerful man with a lot of friends on both sides of the cell doors . paul : your location will be kept secret . corinthos will have no idea how to find you . there . i will have this filed immediately . you will be transferred within the hour . carlos : i 'm supposed to be satisfied with that ? sit -- sitting shackled on a long car ride to god knows where , just hoping that one of sonny 's people do n't find me ? paul : i realize the solution is n't perfect . but that 's all i can do . [ scene_break ] finn : this is good . nice work , carly . but i think , given the circumstance , it 's better we pretend that i do n't know anything about it . carly : about what ? finn : [ chuckles ] look , if you have any questions about what hospital staff might hypothetically be involved in an organ transplant , i 'd be happy to talk you through it . carly : thank you . i - i 'm probably gon na need to take you up on that . dr. obrecht : you 'll be happy to hear that mr. ellis ' family has denied my request for an autopsy , citing religious reasons . you may think this gets you off the hook , but let me assure you , i have every intention of reporting this to the new chief . you may be chummy with dr. quartermaine , but we 'll see who 's at fault when this is brought up at m & m . finn : good . i 'm completely baffled by what caused mr. ellis ' death , and i would welcome a full hospital inquiry . dr. obrecht : we 'll see . carly : was that about the old man you were talking to ? finn : yes . carly : he died ? i 'm so sorry . finn : i appreciate your sympathy . i do . but , uh ... sometimes patients die . sometimes patients die , and we just ca n't save them all . carly : does n't mean their deaths do n't affect you . are you okay ? finn : i 'm fine . i think i need to get back to work . carly : okay . thank you for your help . finn : any time . [ scene_break ] dante : the me 's waiting on further tests , but as of now , hale garrett died of an accidental drug overdose . uh , alexis davis was brought in for questioning , but we had nothing on her so we had to let her go . jordan : alexis davis ? dante : she 's the one who found the guy with a needle in his arm . jordan : okay . well , it 's pretty clear that alexis is defending carlos to stop him from flipping on julian , but i ca n't see her committing a murder . dante : so , just so you know , anna was at the hospital when the witness was brought in . alexis and julian were there , too . she had a uniform detain alexis . the -- the idea was that we put the pressure on alexis , and julian would be forced to confess . but that did n't all pan out . jordan : yeah , i did get a message from anna , so thank you for the heads up on that . you know , anna is -- she 's overly invested in this case , to say the least . but , i mean , she 's right . this od , it 's too convenient . dante : yeah . i got , uh , word out to some witnesses . waiting to hear back from them , from the metro court . and , uh , i got a text message from jenkins about a half an hour ago that the security footage was now at the pd . jordan : can you do me a favor ? i know it 's late , but can you head to the station now and see if it gives us anything ? dante : uh , yeah . no problem . i 'll , uh -- i 'll head over now . jordan : thank you , dante . and i 'll , uh -- i 'll keep you posted if i hear anything . dante : okay . see you .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : stone cold would never wish to expose young baby jake to the same dangers that felled little michael . hence , his decision to keep his distance . the jackal 's mission is simply to commemorate these precious events through videography and photography . lulu : spinelli , you ca n't be lurking around . everybody knows that you work for jason . they 're going to make the connection . spinelli : it is commonly believed that your law - abiding sibling is baby jake 's father . lulu : and everybody also knows that jason and elizabeth were involved , and it came out in court that she had to take a paternity test . spinelli : and the maternal one opted to commit perjury and swore that stone cold was not the parental unit . lulu : well , it turns out that that might have saved jake 's life . spinelli : again , my deepest sympathies in regards to little michael . lulu : spinelli , it 's just -- it 's really awful to see michael laying there , and i feel terrible for carly . she is in so much pain , she is waiting beside his bed , waiting for some miracle , for him to wake up and start talking so that this whole nightmare can be over . but that 's not going to happen because michael is in a permanent coma . spinelli : and that fate will not befall young jake . lulu : no , no , it wo n't . because jake is going to grow up with lucky as his father , safely . so the best thing that you can do for jason and for jake is to just stay away . spinelli : i shall abide by fair lulu 's edict . and from afar , wish young baby jake a most joyous celebration . [ scene_break ] alexis : maxie and spinelli both said that devlin said something before he died . they were too far away . jason was n't . diane : these two witnesses are both highly emotional and less than reliable when it comes -- alexis : you are over - exaggerating the level of uncertainty here . diane : fine . you trot that into court , you will be laughed out of the building . alexis : you can do the legal two - step with the best of them , diane , but the fact of the matter is that jason shot and killed ian devlin . diane : to save maxie jones . alexis : that has n't been proven yet . diane : both witnesses gave -- alexis : he acted as a vigilante . he was seeking justice for michael . diane : conjecture and speculation . alexis : he is a hit man , diane . he 's a professional killer . he perpetrates the very culture of violence that got michael shot in the first place . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . jason , i know that you love michael . but for his sake , you have to tell me who devlin 's accomplice is so that i can prosecute him to the full extent of the law , because that is the only way to stop another innocent child from being hurt .

[ scene_break ] jason : i 'd like to be released as soon as you can arrange it , please . alexis : if you kill devlin 's accomplice , the violence is going to escalate . then morgan and kristina will be the next in the line of fire . diane : that is stooping very , very low . alexis : you know that it 's not . think about what i said . diane : did devlin say anything ? jason : nothing you need to know . diane : do i need to start preparing a murder defense ? because if i do , an alibi would be helpful . perhaps someone a little more reliable than mr. grasshopper . jason : do you agree with alexis ? diane : do you participate in a culture of self - perpetuating violence ? absolutely . are you solely responsible or even peripherally responsible for michael getting shot ? absolutely not -- you were n't even in the room . alexis thinks she is protecting her child ; she is using guilt as a weapon . now as a mother , that is her right . but you do not have to accept the blame . jason : how soon can you get me out ? diane : 15 , 20 minutes . i 'm sorry that i was not here last night to get you released , i was ... otherwise engaged . jason : okay . diane : and i would appreciate it very much if you would not tell sonny that i was tardy to respond to your situation . jason : i did n't call sonny ; i do n't even think he knows i am here . diane : well , he 'll be very happy to know the man who shot michael is dead . you did have to kill devlin , right ? to save maxie jones ? jason : yeah . diane : yeah -- well , then you did a very good thing . and again , i am sorry for leaving you in lock up . jason : what 's one night in lock up compared to what michael 's facing ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the theft was almost certainly an inside job . no one who accessed the file is n't an authorized `` crimson `` employee . maxie : it amazes me how you can figure that stuff out . spinelli : all right , so the next step is for the jackal to pull up the names of any employee who accessed the purloined file . maxie : you make it look so easy . all right , spinelli , now i 'm going to help you . spinelli : okay , well -- um , take a look at this list and see if any of these people could be possible evil - doers . maxie : okay , um -- no . no . maybe . that one 's possible . no . no . spinelli : maximi -- you 're proving to be most insightful . maxie : maximista and the jackal have always been a good team . kate : why is mr. spinelli here , and who the hell gave him permission to use the company computer ? [ scene_break ] tracy : whoa . clearly , you 're more upset than you 're letting on . luke : i 'm not upset . i do n't need an excuse to imbibe . tracy : okay , so given your well - known resistance to fatherhood , could you please tell me why it became so important for you to find out if ethan was your son or not ? luke : he is n't , so why are we wasting our breath ? tracy : i have a theory . luke : i bet you 're going to spit it out like yesterday 's coffee . tracy : lucky hit it on the head . you 're looking for a reflection . luke : if i want a reflection , i 'll look in the mirror . tracy : no , luke , you want validation . i know you pride yourself in being one- of - a - kind , but given the year that you 've had , facing your own mortality , you 're looking for someone to carry on your tradition when you finally leave this earth . luke : that 's interesting . it 's wrong , but interesting . tracy : okay , so what 's going on ? is it grief ? relief ? give a girl a break . let me know how i 'm going to be paying for this in the days to come . luke : ca n't answer that . because i do n't know . i mean , it is n't like i wanted another kid , god knows . but there was something about mr. lovett that got to me from the first moment i saw him with his hand in the till . something familiar about his perspective , the way he looks at the world , little idiosyncrasies . and then the fact that holly pointed him in my direction -- it all just seems too much to be coincidence . tracy : so , do you like him any less now that you know he 's not your biological son ? luke : it does n't matter . it 's over , okay ? let 's just move on . here 's to having one less offspring . tracy : which will make lucky very happy and wo n't affect lulu , because she never knew in the first place . luke : that 's true , is n't it ? [ belches ] tracy : well , excuse you . luke : hey . tracy : what are you doing here ? lulu : ethan said i should check on my dad . and he 's right , you look rough . thank you for the heads up . [ scene_break ] patrick : have someone leave a message for dr. hensen when she lands . tell her we are going ahead with the surgery , and get a number in case she 's needed . elizabeth : okay , got it . patrick : you ever piloted a jet , nurse webber ? elizabeth : no , why ? patrick : because this surgery is going to be a lot more complicated . here 's a checklist , in order . i need 5 units of blood in the o.r . and ready to go . i need all the medication , in case we have cerebral swelling . confirm bleeding time , cbc , 12-lead , that they 're normal . elizabeth : i 'll make sure it 's ready to go . patrick : i ca n't emphasize enough how everything needs to be in place , checked and double - checked and rechecked . there is no room for error . elizabeth : i 'll take care of it myself . patrick : good . getting nervous ? elizabeth : my nerves are n't the ones to worry about , doctor . matt : michael corinthos . i ca n't believe you 're going forward on this . patrick : well , believe it . matt : hensen leaves town for five minutes , and you just ca n't wait to take charge . patrick : matt , the procedure is happening . i do n't have time for this . matt : okay , so why did you page me ? patrick : because i need to assemble the best team possible , and i wanted you to look me in the eye and tell me that you wanted to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime . matt : hensen advised against this . best - case scenario , you lose your medical license . worst - case scenario , you face criminal charges . patrick : best - case scenario , michael corinthos wakes up and he has a normal life . you want a piece of that action or no ? because there 's plenty of doctors running around this hospital that would love that opportunity . matt : as much as i would love to subscribe to that fantasy world , i 'm going to tell you once again , do n't go ahead with this surgery . [ scene_break ] jax : you know i want what 's best for michael , but i worry about you , too . carly : you need to trust me . i 'm going to be okay . and so is this little girl . we 're going to be just fine . hey , i 'm glad you 're here . i decided to let patrick do the operation . jason supports my decision , and they 're prepping the o.r . now . sonny : can i spend some time alone with carly and michael ? [ scene_break ] patrick : brother , you 're a pain in the ass . matt : oh , it looks like i hit a nerve . patrick : i 'm doing this procedure with or without you , and it 's not to show up dr. hensen , but because it 's the reason why i became a neurosurgeon in the first place . look , michael corinthos is neither alive nor dead . he 's slowly deteriorating , on the verge of atrophy , and he could be there for years . there 's maybe a dozen surgeons in the world that could pull off this procedure , and i 'm one of them . and that 's not my god complex talking . that 's a fact . backing out to save my career , well , that would make me the worst kind of coward . matt : or one that would get to keep his license and get to keep practicing medicine . patrick : but this is what i do . look , the bottom line is , this is going to be a long , complicated surgery . i could use your help for some reason other than i can think of right now . i trust you more than marucci . but , hey , it 's your call . matt : oh , great , so if i do n't do it , i 'm a coward . looks like you 're driving over a cliff , and i 'm riding shotgun . [ scene_break ] maxie : okay , you caught me . it was going to be a surprise , but i had spinelli come over here to install one of those brand new -- what 's it called again , spinelli ? spinelli : state - of - the - art firewalls . it 's to protect the sacrosanct `` crimson `` files from those evil doers who would wish to get their foot in the door , no pun intended , with the competition . that 's all . kate : mm - hmm . you mean the people responsible for leaking our new shoe layout to `` couture `` so that they could copy it and run it before we had a chance ? did you think i would n't notice , maxie , that giselle is running our new feature ? spinelli : maxie made a mention of it . i 'll get right on it . kate : i 'm very disappointed , maxie . this is a huge problem , and it essentially happened on your watch . maxie : okay , it really was n't my fault . i treated this layout the exact same way i do all the confidential material , but i 'm not going to stand here defending myself . i 'm going to find where the leak came from , and then i 'm going to get rid of it . that 's what spinelli is here for . kate : okay , so i 'm just supposed to trust spinelli because you recommended him , when essentially , this is all your fault to begin with ? maxie : well , he is a computer genius . kate : yes , maxie , but unfortunately , to solve this problem it requires finesse and subtlety and the ability to communicate clearly . now , mr. spinelli has many , many endearing qualities , but the ability to communicate is not one of them . maxie : well , he has me to interpret for him . kate : this is not a game , maxie . if you do n't find the saboteur , you and lulu will both be out of a job . maxie : lulu does n't have anything to do with this . kate : but you are a team , correct ? whatever happens to one happens to the other . now , if you want to entrust lulu and mr. spinelli with your entire future of fashion , then fine . it is your funeral . maxie : i trust spinelli with my life . kate : good , you have 24 hours to fix it . spinelli : i will not disappoint . [ scene_break ] luke : thank you , princess , for the show of support . it is very comforting to me to know that you would put aside your loathing of mr. lovett long enough to show such kindness to an old sod like your father . lulu : well , ethan is not the jerk that i thought he was . you are a liar and a con artist , but you 've got my dad 's back , which makes you not a total deadbeat in my book . ethan : well , thank you . as they say in the lucky country , flattery will get you everywhere . lulu : do n't let it go to your head . tracy : ethan , i want you to go to the house , please , and inventory all the alcohol . i need to know what luke stole yesterday . ethan : now ? tracy : now . we have to replace it before daddy notices . go on . ethan : okay , you 're the boss . lulu : so what happened ? are you okay ? luke : yeah , as you can see , all working parts are intact . lulu : yeah , but ethan said you had a fight with lucky . what was that about ? luke : just the usual , nothing to be concerned about . lulu : well , i know how hard lucky can be on you , and so does ethan . luke : mr. lovett has turned out to be more observant and empathic than i expected . lulu : i know . i hate when i 'm wrong . luke : you and me both , princess . lulu : i would never admit this to ethan , but i think i 'm actually starting to like him . tracy : think again , missy .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : yes , a clue of major proportions that the pilfered project was time stamped -- 8 : 35 , it was downloaded to the copy room terminal . maxie : that 's so fantastic , spinelli . what does that mean ? spinelli : okay , it means that we now must trick the larcenous leak into a second theft . we 'll be there , staked out , ready to pounce . maxie : well , do we have to pounce in person ? ca n't you just figure out who it is on the computer ? spinelli : do n't you trust my instincts ? maxie : of course i do . spinelli : this is the opportunity to apprehend the evil - doer and save the original blonde one and maximista 's career .

[ scene_break ] maxie : maybe it 's because you 're in love or the great sex has turned your brain to mush . you 're being way too optimistic about michael . lulu : i was in that courtroom when michael told the judge what happened . it was obviously self - defense . maxie : the only reason michael was in that courtroom was because dante gave him up , and there 's a huge difference between confessing and being told on . lulu : michael came home to tell the truth . maxie : well , it looked like michael was gon na wait out the jury , that he would have kept quiet if sonny had gotten acquitted . lulu : yeah , that 's what he was planning on doing , but that would have ruined his life . look , i know what it 's like to do something horrible and to not be able to admit it . maxie : oh , now we 're talking about logan . lulu : yeah , we 're talking about logan . and remember , i ended up in shadybrook because i went along with a cover - up just like michael . someone that i loved took the fall , and i was gon na let them , so i had to own up to what i did before i could move on , and that 's what michael 's gon na have to do , too . maxie : i just hope he does n't end up in prison .

[ laughs ] i know it sounds silly , but if she could , claudia would forgive michael for stopping her . michael is not responsible for the death of claudia zacchara . sonny corinthos is .

connie : look , jason , i do n't have time for this . i have a plane to catch . jason : sonny needs to know the truth . kate did n't sleep with johnny . you did . you 're trying to force sonny away . connie : so what if i did ? do you blame me ? he almost got her killed . jason : what else did you do ? connie : huh ? jason : did you shoot out anthony 's tires ? you cause that accident that killed that little girl and her father ? connie : yeah , and while i was at it , i chopped up jimmy hoffa , too . what do i look like to you ? jason : somebody with an illness . connie : you know , i do n't want to talk to you about this . jason : listen , connie . i - i know that you were seeing dr. keenan . connie : no ! i was n't . that was kate . jason : no , you were the one who unloaded on me at the office the other day . you said if i crossed you , i 'd regret it . connie : yeah , you will . jason : that 's exactly why dr. keenan wants to have kate committed . when you take over , you 're a danger to yourself and others . connie : and you 're not ? jason : let 's go to the hospital . connie : hey ! hey ! let go of me ! hey ! someone call security ! this man is threatening me ! tracy : mmm ! thank you . i needed this . alexis : well , as i mentioned before , i 'm not gon na be able to take on any more clients because i 'm just full up . tracy : you do n't want to represent me , fine . i 'll pay you double . speaking of which -- alexis : oh ! my hourly rate is considerably higher . tracy : of course it is . but as soon as money exchanges hands and you agree to be my lawyer , confidentiality applies . cheers ! alexis : i 'm not representing you . tracy : mm . alexis : because , as i said , my client list -- tracy : anthony zacchara is sucking me dry . he has camped out in my family home . he 's antagonized my poor father . and he is slithering into elq . i need a divorce as soon as you can draw up the paperwork . alexis : you do n't need me for that . you can just take a trip to the dominican republic . tracy : truth be told , it 's a little more complicated than that . he 's in possession of some -- information that i do n't want him to -- disclose . alexis : oh , i get it . he 's blackmailing you . hmm . why else would you divorce luke spencer and marry anthony zacchara ? salute . johnny : starr was here earlier . she ca n't stand the fact that sonny was acquitted . anthony : that makes two of us . johnny : yeah , but she 's not thinking right . she left here with a loaded gun . anthony : and that 's a problem ? hey , if she kills the bastard , i say more power to her . johnny : yeah , but i do n't want her using my gun because i 'll be implicated . besides , the poor girl 's already been through enough . she lost her whole family . she does n't need to go to prison for killing sonny . how about giving little miss sunshine a rest and worry about your old man ? johnny : you look perfectly healthy to me . anthony : john -- someone 's trying to kill me . starr : you do n't know what i 'm capable of , michael . michael : yeah , you 're right . you 're right . we have n't known each other that long . look , i thought we connected , right ? starr : because we know how it feels to lose people that we love ? michael : i 'm not comparing my loss to yours . i 'm just saying -- starr : good ! because abby died because of an accident . cole and hope died because your dad tried to murder someone , and they got in the way ! sonny : that 's not true , michael . you know that , right ? michael : i know , dad . starr : i told you he was going to do this ! he 's gon na lie ! michael : he 's not -- he 's not lying , starr . my dad had nothing to do with that accident . starr : i talked to anthony . anthony -- michael : johnny had just as much motive as my father , if not more . look , he hates anthony , and killing him and framing my father is a way to get rid of both -- starr : god ! that 's a story that you keep telling yourself so that you wo n't believe that your dad killed my family ! michael : why ca n't you just consider that anthony lied to you that night ? starr : i did consider it . i did . i went to johnny zacchara , and i confronted him . he had an alibi that night , michael . he was with your mother . sonny : johnny knows a lot of people . he could have made a lot of phone calls that night . starr : do n't lie to me . you can lie to michael all you want , but i know the truth . you 're a killer , and you proved it last night when you went to kill johnny . yeah . he did n't tell you about that , michael ? sonny : shot two bullets into a wall . nobody got hurt . starr : this time . michael : look , starr , my father is n't perfect , okay ? but that does n't mean he killed your family . i 'm asking you -- i 'm begging you -- to trust me on this . okay , do n't make things worse . just -- just put the gun down . michael : i know how much you loved cole and hope . starr : you have no idea . michael : look , i was with cole that night , remember ? he was so focused on saving hope . starr : i know , but you could n't save them . they died , and it 's because of your dad , and he deserves to pay ! michael : look , you think cole would want you to do this , to take somebody 's life ? look , cole loved you , okay ? he wanted you to be happy , to live a good life . starr : i know , but i do n't have a life without them ! michael : yes , you do , starr . no matter how much pain you 're in , you -- you 're still alive . you have no idea what 's gon na happen tomorrow . maybe -- starr : stop ! stop ! do n't come any closer . your dad was right about one thing , michael . you have been so good to me . and i 'm so sorry , because this -- none of this is your fault . this is my choice . now he has to pay . michael : you 're not a killer . starr , i know . look , i know , because i am . starr : you what ? michael : i killed someone . and i 'm gon na carry it with me my whole life . and i would n't wish that kind of regret or pain on anyone -- least of all you . connie : will you help me ? this man is deranged . jason : i 'm just trying to get her some help , ma'am . connie : i do n't need any help . i 'm trying to catch a plane ! you were having a pretty loud argument with yourself a little earlier . connie : no , i was -- i was on the phone . i was talking to my assistants . there -- there was no phone . i 'm just glad you 're getting the help that you need . connie : [ gasps ] you let go of me , you bastard ! jason : kate -- connie : get off ! [ gasps ] kate : jason ? what am i doing here ? what did i do ? jason : kate ? kate : what am i ? [ crying ] starr : who did you kill , michael ? michael : it was my stepmother . she was gon na kidnap my baby sister . starr : so you were defending your family , just like i 'm defending mine . michael : no , no , look , everything happened so fast . i did n't have any time to think . i grabbed the first thing i could , and i swung as hard as i could . and sometimes i think to myself , if i would have just given her a chance to put josslyn down , maybe she would have . starr : i do n't care what you did , michael . michael : you should care . you should care what i did , 'cause i know what it 's like to kill somebody -- to watch their body fall , to watch them lying there so incredibly still . and you ca n't take it back . you ca n't say , `` i 'm sorry . `` you ca n't change your mind . once you kill somebody -- you carry it with you forever . and you think you 're hurting now , you think you 're in all this pain and you ca n't sleep at night . if you kill my father , it 's gon na be a hundred times worse . starr : but i have to make him pay ! i have to do it ! michael : think -- think about cole and hope , how much you loved them , how much they loved you . if you do this , if you pull that trigger , you really are gon na lose them , because , starr , you 're gon na lose yourself . trust me . starr , trust me . it 's not worth it . starr : [ sobs ] michael : starr ! sonny : hey , hey . let her go . let her go . michael : [ sighs ] sonny : hey . you okay ? michael : fine . [ sighs ] how about you ? sonny : no , no . michael : how you doing ? you okay ? sonny : i , uh -- i let her bring me out here 'cause i thought she needed to get that out of her system , and i thought i could talk her down . i guess i was wrong . i truly believe -- she 'd have killed me . you saved me , son . i thank you for that . all right . johnny : what , sonny took a couple more shots at you or what ? anthony : not yet . johnny : then what the hell are you so worried about ? anthony : my loving wife . she 's trying to do me in . johnny : [ chuckles ] tracy 's trying to kill you . anthony : last night , i was pulling my car out , and the garage door came down like a guillotine . if i had n't gunned it , i would have been cut in half . and then this morning , i 'm taking a shower -- a hair dryer drops into the tub . scorched the soles of my feet and blew out an overhead light . johnny : so you had a couple of accidents . anthony : accidents . [ chuckles ] the other day , i came downstairs , and i find tracy and luke with their heads together . [ stammers ] gave me a real bad feeling . if i 'm not careful , i could wake up in bed with son of skittles ' head next to me . johnny : if tracy wants out , all she 's got to do is divorce you . anthony : it 's not that simple , john . tracy and i -- [ sighs ] let 's just say divorce is not an option , which means if she wants out , she 's got to kill me . johnny : oh . the lengths women will go to to get away from their men , huh ? just look at kate . she became a whole different person . anthony : [ grunts ] please , do n't tell me you 're gon na start bellyaching about taking connie up on her offer . what 's done is done . johnny : you 're right . kate : connie came back . jason : i - i do n't really know who you are . kate : just -- just tell me what she did . did she hurt anybody ? did -- where was she going ? oh , my god . what did she do ? jason : it 's okay . you were headed out of town , but i stopped you . kate : it 's not okay , jason ! the last thing that i remember , um -- i was with dr. keenan . he was trying to get me some help . jason : for your condition ? kate : you know about that ? jason : i just know that you 're ill and you need to be in a hospital . kate : [ breathes shakily ] does sonny know ? jason : no , not yet . will you please take me to dr. keenan ? we need to speak with dr. keenan . elizabeth : wait , dr. keenan 's been moved to the i.c.u . he 's in no condition to talk to anyone . he dies , miss howard is looking at murder charges . elizabeth : he 's not gon na die . he ca n't . dante : you tried to kill me , ronnie ? ronnie : i did n't have a choice . you were too close to the truth . dante : you know the events you set in motion when my father took that bullet ? ronnie : oh , now , all of a sudden , he 's `` my father . `` dante : yeah . ronnie : what happened to sonny , the murdering bastard , huh ? what happened to sonny , the crime lord , who you were supposed to put in prison ? you sold out . dante : you 're the reason sonny went after the zaccharas , the reason anthony was headed to the airport . whoever shot out his tires -- you put him on that highway ! you might as well have killed that kid and his young child yourself ! ronnie : oh , so we agree , right ? there 's no way out for me . dante : you know , i do n't know . maybe a good defense attorney could argue post- traumatic stress . ronnie : take an insanity plea ? a trip up to ferncliff ? no thanks , man .

[ knocking on door ] johnny : coming ! hey . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . starr : [ breathing heavily ] johnny : you okay ? [ gun clicks ] johnny : you did n't use it . starr : no , but i almost did . i almost killed a man . sonny : when starr showed up at the house , i -- i thought , you know -- she was , like , gon na just -- some kind of plan . i did n't know exactly what . i mean , maybe she was lashing out like kristina would have . you know what i mean ? i could have taken the gun any time i wanted , but i did n't want the gun to go off by accident . and i did n't for one second think that she would go through with it . but maybe i should have remembered who her father was . michael : you think starr is like her father ? sonny : not everybody who pulls out a gun is serious about using it , but i got to admit to you , there was a look in her eye , just like there was a look in her father 's eye that -- they 're ready to pull the trigger . michael : i 'm sorry , dad . sonny : what are you apologizing for ? you saved my life tonight . how did you know this was happening ? michael : johnny . sonny : johnny ? michael : yeah , i was at his house to let him know how i felt about what he did to you and mom . and , uh , he said starr was there and she took his gun . sonny : that cowardly son of a bitch ! hiding behind a little girl ! michael : dad , i 'm not defending him , but she -- she took the gun . he did n't give it to her . sonny : according to johnny , right ? michael : look , you saw starr . she was gon na come after you regardless . sonny : right . but he did not talk her down , did he ? did he talk her down ? michael : anyway , i saw the security tape at your house , and i -- i figured she took you here . sonny : look at me . i 'm very proud of you , what you did tonight . and what you said earlier , about -- claudia and blaming yourself -- do n't do that . now , you did everything you could that night . you saved your mother , you saved your little sister , just like you saved me tonight . michael : it 's true what i said to starr , though . taking somebody 's life changes you . i mean , even if you believed you were right , you still have to carry it with you your whole life . would have been even worse for starr , though , because sooner or later , she would have realized you 're innocent . sonny : i do n't think starr will ever believe that i 'm innocent . i think she 's determined to hate me . but at least she has a place to put her anger and her grief . michael : you warned me to stay away from her . i should have listened . sonny : sometimes you think you know somebody , son . you do n't really know them at all . elizabeth : jason , where did you find kate ? jason : it 's complicated . we need to see dr. keenan right away . elizabeth : dr. keenan 's been admitted to the i.c.u . kate : why ? what 's wrong with him ? elizabeth : he was attacked last night in his office . kate : oh , my god . jason : is he all right ? elizabeth : no , he has a severe brain injury . kate : do they know who did it ? elizabeth : it was you , kate . you attacked him . ronnie : you know falconeri 's called this one in . it 's gon na be cop central here in about three minutes . ronnie : dante just broke out of lockup . he ai n't calling anybody . it 's just the three of us . actually , make that four of us . sam : no , ronnie . please . please . my baby . please . ronnie : just shut up ! you want to be responsible for the death of two hostages ? kate : connie ? connie did that ? oh ! she said that it 'd be a while before dr. keenan felt up to treating patients . that 's what she meant ? oh ! oh , god ! she attacked him ! oh , she was proud of it ! elizabeth : dr. keenan said connie was the one who attacked him , and olivia said connie 's what they used to call you before you changed your name . kate : 'cause i left connie behind . i never wanted to see her again . but she had other plans ! elizabeth : you 're talking as if she 's another person . jason : she 's sick . she needs a doctor . is there a good psychiatrist on call ? kate : [ crying ] elizabeth : yeah . yeah , i 'll get one . kate howard ? kate : yes . you need to come with us . jason : why ? we need miss howard to answer some questions . jason : gon na have to wait . miss howard is ill . i just brought her in for treatment . elizabeth : i 'm gon na get her some help . jason : okay . kate : are you calling my lawyer ? jason : no , i 'm gon na call sonny . kate : no . please . i - i waited too long to tell him , and when i tried , she was too strong . she took over , jason . jason : listen to me . kate : he 'll never forgive me . jason : listen , sonny knows people do all kinds of things when they 're not in their right mind . tracy : if i had gone upstairs like sonny asked me to , he could have taken care of anthony -- no muss , no fuss -- and we all would have been better off . alexis : well , on behalf of sonny 's children and my own daughter , i 'm very grateful that you prevented their father from murdering him . tracy : i did n't do it for them . i did it because anthony told me that there is a copy of the incriminating evidence on file with his lawyer , and if something happens to him -- alexis : if something happens , i assume that that information would be forwarded to the appropriate authorities . tracy : maybe not . alexis : excuse me ? tracy : hypothetically speaking , let 's just say that this evidence incriminates anthony , as well . if he were dead -- alexis : dead ? tracy : if he were to die and the evidence became public , would his estate be subject to confiscation ? alexis : if there 's evidence of extortion , s.e.c . violation , tax evasion , anything that falls under the rico statute would be subject to confiscation by the government . tracy : so the feds could move in and take every dime of his money away from johnny . alexis : in theory , yes . tracy : he 's bluffing . oh , my god . this whole time , he is bluffing ! there is no way he would leave that information for anybody to find it , because he would n't risk johnny losing his estate ! alexis : tracy -- tracy : you are the best lawyer ever ! thank you so much . thank you so , so much . i will pay your bill double , triple -- i do n't care ! alexis : no , because i 'm not representing you . tracy : yes , you are ! do n't forget ! confidentiality applies . alexis : no , thank you . here . here . take it ! [ sighs ] tracy : [ laughs ] oh , anthony . you are finally gon na get what 's coming to you . starr : i could have killed him . anthony : i wish you had . would have done the world a favor . johnny : you 're the last thing she needs . get the hell out of here . anthony : and go where ? i ca n't go home . tracy 's gunning for me . johnny : it 's not my problem ! anthony : have a heart , john ! it 's on your head , john ! starr : [ breathing heavily ] johnny : it 's okay . have a seat . starr : michael was right . it 's not what cole would have wanted , or hope . johnny : okay , so that 's progress , right ? starr : is it ? johnny : well , it 's important to know what you do n't want . starr : then -- then what ? johnny : then you start over . you never forget the person , but -- you learn to live without them , i guess . starr : do you even think that 's possible ? johnny : you can start by forgetting all about sonny . michael : when starr first showed up at my apartment , i should have turned her away . sonny : she took advantage of your compassion , maybe even your guilt . michael : i do n't feel guilty . sonny : well , i know how you take things in . she asked you to save her boyfriend and her little girl . you could n't do that , so you made starr your responsibility . michael : yeah , maybe . sonny : i 'm not gon na blame her completely , because she 's so full of grief and anger that she 's justifying everything , even using you . michael : i was an idiot to trust her . sonny : look at me . i trusted kate , right ? i never thought -- [ sniffles ] i never thought that she would hurt me the way she did . but i only saw what i wanted to see , just like -- just like starr . michael : i thought we understood each other . i thought we could talk . i mean , i even told myself i 'm helping her , when the whole time , she was planning to kill you . sonny : hey . it 's over . michael : is it ? she still has johnny 's gun . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : yeah ? jason : i need you to meet me at general hospital right now . sonny : why ? jason : i 'll explain when you get here . sonny , it 's important . sonny : [ sighs ] elizabeth : a psychiatrist will be over to see you in a few minutes . jason : you okay ? kate : i just ca n't believe this is happening . i 'm waiting for a doctor from the psych ward . jason : sit down . i 'm sorry . until the doctor signs off on you , we 're gon na have to cuff you , ma'am . jason : can you just back off ? kate : jason , it 's okay . i want to cooperate . jason : just -- elizabeth : how did you happen to be the one to find her ? jason : it 's , uh -- it 's complicated . elizabeth : yeah , you mentioned that . jason : she 's sick . she does n't even know what 's happening when connie takes over . elizabeth : okay , it does n't surprise me that you would have compassion towards her , but i do n't understand . why are you not taking care of your own situation ? jason : i 'm fine . elizabeth : no , jason . i know that you 're upset that sam 's getting help from that cop mcbain -- jason : sam moved out . elizabeth : jason , i 'm sorry . dante : elizabeth . elizabeth . lulu 's been shot . we need a doctor . lulu : it 's just a graze . elizabeth : i 'll get help . jason : what happened ? dante : ronnie dimestico kidnapped lulu and sam . jason : where 's sam ? dante : at the haunted star . no , jason -- jason , there 's already another officer on the scene ! damn it . ronnie : i 'm gon na back out of here , and you 're not gon na stop me . mcbain : that 's not gon na happen , ronnie . you 're gon na let the girl go , or i 'm gon na shoot your ass . ronnie : give me a break , man . you 're not gon na risk her life . sam : i feel sick . mcbain : put the gun down ! ronnie : back off , mcbain ! mcbain : hey , let me see you . sam : nice sh -- nice shot . mcbain : yeah . i could n't have done it without you . you okay ? sam : yeah . i think so . mcbain : listen , i would n't have pulled the trigger if i did n't have a clean shot . sam : i know . i know . you saved our lives . me -- me and the baby . starr : i should go . johnny : you sure ? starr : yeah . johnny : you 're welcome to stay . starr : no . i need to be alone . i have things to think about . johnny : all right . well , look , when you 're feeling better , you let me know and we 'll talk about your music , all right , what you want to do . starr : you have been -- very kind to me . thank you .

[ knock on door ] kiki : you better get in the shower before your company sees you looking like this , no matter how much i 'm enjoying it . michael : you know what ? i 'm not an object here . kiki : you 're a cute object . [ both chuckle ] kiki : go ! ned : kiki ! i need you . you 're the only one who can save my mother from luke . luke : does it get any better than this ? beautiful spring morning , breakfast with the love of my life . tracy : at kelly 's . eat your eggs . luke : sweet , sharp , unsentimental -- just how i like my women . of course , i ca n't help thinking that we would n't be enjoying this sptuous meal if you ... [ sighs ] ... had listened to your son 's conspiracy theories . tracy : what ? that you were marrying me for my money or that you have sinister plans for elq ? not beyond the realm of possibility . luke : ouch . tracy : but i know ned is wrong . he can think whatever he wants . i 'm completely on your side . luke : our side . bobbie : oh . who are you and what have you done with my brother ? mac : [ as mr. marbles ] how do you know a wsb agent 's tried to call you ? [ normal voice ] i do n't know , mr. marbles . how ? [ as mr. marbles ] i do n't know , either . it 's like we 're his kids ! [ laughs ] [ normal voice ] triumph the insult comic dog has nothing on you , mr. marbles . [ as mr. marbles ] right , folks ? lucy : thank you , mac . mac : wait ! there 's more ! lucy : uh , no ! no , no , no , no , no , no ! really , really , p - p - pardon me . that -- that 's really okay . mac : what , lucy ? are you not entertained ? duke : no . spencer : how did this happen ? emma , how did i lose you ? cameron : because that 's what 's losers do . they lose . nikolas : [ sighs ] here . let me . elizabeth : oh . thank you . nikolas : at your service . elizabeth : thanks . nikolas : where you off to ? elizabeth : metro court . it 's cam and emma 's last rehearsal before the ball . nikolas : that 's right . well , why -- you should have told me . i - i - i 'll take you . elizabeth : no , no , that 's okay . nikolas : no , no , just go get cameron . i 'll get the -- the launch ready . elizabeth : actually , i already have a ride . nikolas : okay . from who ? ric : that 'd be me . felix : baby boy santiago 's holding steady , but britt said it 's gon na be awhile before he 's out of the woods . epiphany : one day at a time . felix : yeah , one long day . every time i visit the nicu , i 'm afraid i 'm gon na collapse from the strain . but i got to be there for sabrina . epiphany : well , our girl , this hospital , and the nurses ' ball need you in top form . you should take the day off . felix : [ chuckles ] tease . epiphany : who 's teasing ? you 've got a strenuous night in front of you at the ball . scram . rest up . felix : is this a trick ? epiphany : no , but this is a one - time offer , and i 'm only making it because you - know - who is n't around to put her jackbooted foot down . felix : [ scoffs ] dr. obrecht : guess again . felix : oh , no . dr. obrecht : oh , ja . i 'm back , lieber . epiphany : god above . the lunatic 's escaped . felix : i 'll grab her . you call security . dr. obrecht : touch me , and you lose more than your job . felix : or you could just call . epiphany : you threaten my nurse , and you wo n't live to see the inside of a jail cell . felix : you kidnapped a baby ! you -- you stole the falconeris ' embryo ! dr. obrecht : misunderstandings . felix : oh , no , no , no , no . you belong in jail on an island in shark - infested waters . dr. obrecht : the authorities do not agree . as you can see , the district attorney has agreed to release me . felix : that 's not possible . dr. obrecht : i 'm free to resume all duties as chief of staff of general hospital , and my first item of business is to whip this department back into shape . i want all nurses front and center for re - education . felix : does that include the one you shot ? ric : excuse me . nikolas : really ? your mob lawyer ex - husband is also your chauffeur ? ric : i do n't represent anyone even allegedly connected with organized crime . but you , on the other hand , correct me if i 'm wrong -- was n't this very house recently used as a -- as a hideout for an escaped mental patient and a whole flock of mad scientists ? nikolas : i 'm sorry , elizabeth , but my fear is -- is that if you leave with mr. lansing here , that he will steer you into a hail of bullets . ric : oh , you mean like you did with elizabeth mere weeks ago . nikolas : [ chuckles ] i would be happy to escort you to the metro court . you need n't bother yourself . ric : oh , and keep you from counting your doubloons ? i would n't dream of it . nikolas : it 's okay . i have people who do that for me . ric : oh , okay . you 're unusually quiet . elizabeth : oh . [ chuckling ] i 'm sorry . am i even here ? while you guys duke it out , i want to go collect my child . ric : uh , elizabeth , wait a minute . i want to , uh , ask you something . listen , i was just thinking , since i was already gon na be taking you to the dress rehearsal , i thought maybe i could take you to the real thing . so , uh , would you grant me the privilege of escorting you to the nurses ' ball ? spencer : enjoy your bliss while you still can . it wo n't last . i 'm going to get emma back . cameron : whatever gets you through the night , peewee . spencer : you 'll see . cameron : i do n't have time . i 've got to get to rehearsal . i 'm performing in the nurses ' ball tonight with my girlfriend . emma : uncle mac , put away the scary puppet . mac : [ normal voice ] aw ! mr. marbles is n't scary ! emma : yes , he is . mac : [ as mr. marbles ] no , i 'm hilarious ! hey , this material killed in beecher 's corners ! lucy : right , well , mac , uh , we 're in port charles , and in port charles , it 's just not funny . and besides , everybody in town is gon na be watching us on tv , so i ca n't afford to have any dead air , because then we wo n't be able to compete with the public access channel . and besides , yoplait greek generously decided to sponsor the nurses ' ball this year , so we have to make it the very best nurses ' ball ever . and i 'm just -- i 'm just afraid that mr. marbles does n't quite make the cut . mac : what ? ! why not ? lucy : uh , why not we all just take a break and come back refreshed , ready to rehearse . mac : no , no , no , no , no ! not until you put me back in the program ! look , everyone is expecting my clever observations and sharp wit . lucy , last year , you remember , i stole the show . felicia : when he tore frisco apart ! duke : bad show , my friend . anna : why do n't you look at it this way ? you got the girl , it 's all fine . kevin : yeah , it 's time to stop gloating . mac : but i 've got so much frisco material . felicia : and you need to drop it . if not for our sake , do it for maxie . frisco has his faults , but he 's still her father . maxie : i was n't aware you had joined the pcpd dance squad . nathan : yeah , i , um , i 'm rehearsing for my act in the nurses ' ball . maxie : you 're gon na be in the nurses ' ball ? nathan : yeah . you heard of it ? maxie : it 's only the most important social event of the year . i just ca n't believe you 're performing in it . nathan : and why is that so hard to believe ? maxie : you 're just , uh , not the type . you 're so ... you know . nathan : no , i do n't know . maxie : uptight . nathan : ah . is that in addition to being negative , angry , and toxic ? maxie : i never said any of those things . nathan : you totally did say all of those things when you were gon na evict me for my attitude . maxie : that was levi 's idea . nathan : ah . yeah . levi . your guru . guy is full of ideas . you 're full of his ideas , too . maxie : what 's that supposed to mean ? nathan : forget it . maxie : no , no , no . words are like eggs . once you 've dropped them , you ca n't pick them up . nathan : and what is that supposed to mean ? maxie : it means once you 've said something , you ca n't take it back , so tell me what you meant . nathan : okay . it meant it would be nice to see if you 're just levi 's parrot or if underneath all that hippie dingbat mumbo jumbo that you , maxie jones , actually have an original thought of your own . maxie : [ scoffs ] maxie : i have original thoughts . ask anyone . nathan : ah . the girl that i met the night that i moved in here , the one who regretted some of her life decisions and was going on a journey ? i would have believed that about her . maxie : same girl right here . nathan : yeah , no , no . the girl that came back -- all she ever does is mimic her boyfriend . maxie : that is totally -- nathan : now , before you met levi , did you even care about eastern philosophy or go dumpster diving or -- maxie : [ gasps ] i do not dumpster dive ! who do you think you are ? you have , like , a five - minute conversation with me and you think you know me ? news flash -- you do n't know me at all . nathan : do you ? levi : i 'm trying to meditate , but it 's difficult when there is so much negativity in here . it 's actually causing a rift in the cosmic fiber . perhaps if you 're done airing your grievances , we could all go back to our respective journeys . maxie : actually , i have a grievance . nathan thinks that i 'm your puppet . levi : harsh . why would you say something so uncool ? nathan : because it 's true . and you needed to hear it . levi : you know , i was hoping that we could coexist peaceably , but the discourse in here is beyond toxic . i would go so far as to say it 's radioactive . nathan : and i 'm sure that maxie would agree with you . levi : it 's clear that none of us are going to be able to evolve while we inhabit the same space . i 'm sorry , nathan . i truly am . but it 's time that you sought quarters of your own . nathan : oh , well , that 's not really up to you , now , is it , levi ? that 's up to maxie . so , levi wants me gone . so , throw me out . prove my point . kiki : i really would love to help you take down luke , but right now is not a good time . ned : my mother is still hell - bent on marrying this man . and if she does , she 'll not only get her heart broken , but she will bring down elq in the process . kiki : i really can not -- ned : please help me make my mother see ... kiki : shh ! ned : ... that luke is a treacherous degenerate . kiki : how ? he 's already on to us . ned : so , we 'll just have to try it again , but this time , we 'll just have to be a little more subtle . kiki : we ? as in me ? ned : i 'm sorry , but you 're his weakness . kiki : [ sighs ] i ca n't talk to you about this right now . ned : no , no , no . i know it 's a lot to ask , but you have to make another pass at luke ! michael : excuse me ? tracy : hello to you , too , bobbie . bobbie : i 'm sorry to interrupt , tracy , but i 'm waiting to get an explanation from this person . luke : i 'm the same person i always was . bobbie : oh , really ? well , then why could n't you bring yourself to tell your own sister that you 're getting married ? i got to hear it from lulu two months after you 'd gotten engaged ? luke : i 'm sure i told you . bobbie : no , i 'm sure you did n't . 'cause i know that i would remember my brother 's engagement . luke : [ sighs ] bobbie : so , have you set a date , or is that classified ? luke : we 're still working on that . bobbie , i 'm -- i 'm sure i told you . well , i 'm sorry for the oversight . maybe i 'm just so drunk on love , the conversation happened in my head . [ chuckles ] or maybe i thought my little sister would wish me happy . bobbie : okay , okay . i do . you know i do . congratulations . hmm . you , too , tracy . tracy : i do n't hug . bobbie : i know . i was n't going to . tracy : i accept your congratulations . luke : then what about me ? am i forgiven ? bobbie : oh , you . you know i can ever stay mad at you for very long . scott : your one and only failing . elizabeth : you want to take me to the nurses ' ball ? ric : well , unless you already have a date . and even then ... elizabeth : you were right all along . i mean , it 's for the best that we 're just friends , right ? nikolas : right . elizabeth : actually , i do n't have a date . i would love to be yours . spencer : this can not be happening ! cameron : oh , it be happening . spencer : but -- but -- but ! cameron : `` but -- but -- but ! `` while you 've been crying in your chocolate frosted sugar bombs , me and emma have been tripping the light fantastic . spencer : first of all , it 's `` emma and i. `` second of all , what ? cameron : it means dance . we 're doing the tango , the dance of love . beat that ! elizabeth : cameron ! [ door opens ] cameron : yes , mom ? elizabeth : come on , honey . vamanos . cameron : time for me to shake a leg with emma . see you , sucker ! epiphany : i 'm no lawyer , but this looks legit to me . felix : i ca n't believe the police let you go . dr. obrecht : not entirely . but it 'll please you to know i 'm being forced to wear this ridiculous monitor . for now . but rest assured , it shall not impede me from carrying out my office . felix : office ? what office ? the board 's not gon na let some lunatic be chief of staff , immunity or no . epiphany : and even the board is not so stupid as to let a p.r . disaster like that come to pass . dr. obrecht : it would be a bigger disaster were the hospital to shut down entirely , would n't it ? felix : [ scoffs ] you 're bluffing . you ca n't shut down the hospital . epiphany : you do n't have that kind of power . dr. obrecht : actually , i do . dr. obrecht : as insignificant underlings , you would not know this , but this hospital was teetering on the brink of financial ruin . felix : okay , define financial ruin . dr. obrecht : overextended resources , depleted endowments , loan defaults . the hospital was all but bankrupt . only an infusion of millions of dollars could save it . epiphany : and you ... dr. obrecht : provided said influx . correct . felix : millions of dollars ? dr. obrecht : just so . after i received my immunity deal from the wsb , i approached the board and offered them the money they needed to make this hospital solvent . [ laughing ] how else do you think i got the chief of staff position ? felix : you bought it . epiphany : i always wondered how you leveraged the board . dr. obrecht : and lucky for you , i did . without me , gh would be shuttered , your jobs lost . no nurses ... no nurses ' ball . felicia : mac , please , dump mr. marbles . emma : why is he even called mr. marbles ? mac : [ normal voice ] oh , it is a funny story . [ as mr. marbles ] but it 's funnier when i tell it , okay ? here , this is what i -- anna : i 'm warning you . i 'm armed . felicia : [ chuckles ] mac : hey , kevin , duke , my bros , my posse , you 're mr. marbles ' men , right ? duke : no , to be honest with you , mr. marbles gives me the willies . after last year 's scene - stealing show , i had a whole spate of night terrors . it 's just , like , not good . it was n't good . anna : it was bad . bad , bad . mac : kevin ? kevin : uh , to be honest , i 'm -- i 'm with the wife on this one . mr. marbles is a loaded subject in our house . if i were to side with you , she might leave me for a man with more discerning taste . scott : hi , bobbie . spencer , how about a kiss ? luke : [ chuckling ] what are you doing ? what ? are you crazy ? scott : i thought that the time we spent at the insane asylum brought us closer together . luke : not if your lips were the last two on earth . scott : hey , bobbie , did i ever show you that picture of luke in the heather wig ? it 's really -- bobbie : oh , my god ! you send that to me . luke : what are you doing here ? scott : i 'm having breakfast here with this lovely girl . tracy : geez , bobbie . how far are you willing to backslide ? i thought you kicked the scott habit years ago . bobbie : this is not a breakfast date , if such a thing even exists . luke : well , we were having one . bobbie : oh , scott and i are friends . scott : yes , we are , but perhaps we could change that . kiki : hey . quick shower . michael : why is ned talking about pimping you out to luke `` again `` ? kiki : uh , first of all , i never made a pass at luke spencer . michael : okay , then why is he asking you to take another shot at it ? ned : kiki , you never told him ? kiki : and this keeps getting better and better , great . michael : tell me what ? what 's going on here ? kiki : michael , you might want to sit down for this one . nathan : all right , maxie . do what levi wants . evict me . maxie : do you really think that you could use something as stupid as reverse psychology to manipulate me into letting you stay ? nathan : maxie , i do n't manipulate you . that would be levi . maxie : let me make something clear . if i kick you out , that would be my decision , not levi 's . and if i let you stay , that also would be my decision . nathan : okay . great . so , are you gon na kick me out or not ? maxie : not . i need your rent money . nathan : okay , well , then now that that 's settled , can i practice my steps in peace ? levi : you 're finally trying the tai chi i suggested ? maxie : no , he 's doing a number at the nurses ' ball . and i , for one , ca n't wait to watch him make a fool out of himself . levi : uh , you 're not going to . we 're not going to that thing . michael : luke has been coming on to you ? kiki : i would not make this up . michael : why did n't you tell me ? kiki : i wanted to . aj had just been shot . you were dealing with so much . i thought that i could handle it on my own . michael : but luke kept harassing you ? kiki : it was n't that big of a deal . michael : you just told me that he grabbed you and you had to knee him in the groin to get away . that 's a very big deal . i ca n't believe you had to go through this all by yourself . kiki : actually , morgan knows . michael : morgan ? you confided in morgan but not me ? kiki : he wanted to tell you , but i asked him to keep it a secret . michael : why ? kiki : because i wanted you to focus on aj . i did n't think it was fair for you to have to deal with all that . ned : can we just table the subject of who knew what when and get back to the matter at hand ? luke has to be stopped . michael : yeah , you 're damn right he does , and i 'm gon na be the one to do it . i 'm gon na find him , and i 'm gon na kill him . bobbie : scotty , what are you talking about ? tracy : obviously he is yanking the chains of the spencer siblings . scott : bobbie , why do n't we go speak in private ? luke : yes , why do n't you ? people are trying to eat here . scott : come on . tracy : that 's it ? are n't you gon na do something ? luke : about what ? tracy : correct me if i 'm wrong -- bobbie has always had a thing for scott baldwin . luke : so ? tracy : `` so `` ? ! he 's moving in on your baby sister ! luke : tracy , bobbie 's life is bobbie 's life , and she can live it however she likes . bobbie : so , scott , what 's this all about ? scott : um , what are you doing tonight ? and do n't say you 're washing your hair . bobbie : i 'm going to the nurses ' ball . scott : i thought so . as it turns out , so am i . bobbie : oh . well , great . i 'll see you there . scott : well , i kind of thought we could go together . bobbie : you asking me out ? scott : i am . bobbie : now , scott ... scott : now , before you say anything , imagine us floating in , heads turning , people saying , `` what an attractive couple . `` what do you say , bobbie ? bobbie : no ! absolutely not . lucy : okay , just go tell bob that pink is pink and magenta is really magenta and never the two shall meet , okay ? go . like the wind . thank you . kevin : hey . lucy : [ gasps ] hi . kevin : you okay ? lucy : yeah , yeah . why would n't i be okay ? kevin : lucy , something 's obviously wrong . why do n't you just tell me what it is ? lucy : why did you say that ? why did you say that about me leaving you ? kevin : about mr. marbles ? lucy , that was a joke . lucy : not to me . our marriage is not a joke , not to me . kevin : it 's not a joke to me , either . i was kidding . you know i do n't think you 'd ever leave me for another man . lucy : oh , hey , hey , elizabeth and cameron made it ! yes ! hello ! [ chuckles ] hi . nikolas : looks like it 's just you and me , man . what do you want to do ? you want to hit the park ? take out the horses ? hunt chupacabras ? hey . hey , look at me . look at me . what 's wrong ? what happened ? spencer : i 've lost her , and i can never get her back . duke : [ gasps ] wow ! now , listen , you guys , anna and i will be right over there . if you need any -- any tips , just come . do n't hesitate . you come and ask us . i 'm very excited , okay ? emma : okay . duke : you 're doing so well . [ chuckles ] anna : [ groans ] duke : problems ? anna : [ sighs ] carly and franco . duke : aj quartermaine 's phone ? anna : yeah . it seems they 've skipped town with it . duke : skipped town ? anna : well , i mean , nobody 's seen them since last night , and they 're not answering my calls . duke : i see . anna : i 'll deal with that later . you and i have other problems . duke : what ? trying not to be upstaged by these two rapscallions over here ? anna : i wish . no . obrecht . duke : what about her ? anna : remember when i told you that there could be this possible immunity deal in place ? duke : yes . anna : well , it came to pass . and now she 's back out on the streets . dr. obrecht : now that we are clear on my vital impact on the ball , if you will excuse me , i will have to reschedule the nurses meeting . i have other business to attend to . epiphany : do n't you mess with the nurses ' ball ! felix : you would n't ! [ elevator bell dings ] dr. obrecht : would n't i ? [ chuckles ] maxie : we 're not going to the nurses ' ball ? levi : you do n't really want to go to one of those awful things , do you ? nathan : there . he 's telling you what you think . maxie : i 'm not listening to you . just to clarify , i mean , this is n't , like , the governor 's ball or anything . the nurses ' ball funds research for hiv and aids . nathan : is n't that right up your alley ? levi : of course i support the cause . maxie : great . then it 's settled . levi : but not the party . face it , events like this nurses ' ball exist only so that the attendees can feel good about themselves . they sign some checks , clear their conscience , and never actually get their hands dirty , experiencing first - hand the problems that they 're supposedly addressing . most of the money they 'll raise goes to supporting the gala itself or lines the pockets of big charity . little of it actually gets to those on the front line . honestly , there are more authentic ways to help people . nathan : well , uh , thank you for your input , but that does n't necessarily mean that maxie shares your opinion . maxie , do you feel the same way or not ? ned : michael , you ca n't go gunning for luke ! michael : yeah , watch me . kiki : that 's no way to handle it , michael . michael : but i trusted luke ! just yesterday , he told me he 's gon na convince tracy to donate money in aj 's name , and i stood there and i thanked him for being a stand - up guy ! and the whole time , he 's grabbing your ass ? ! i 'm sorry , i 'm not gon na let that go ! ned : look , michael , a frontal assault will only convince my mother more that luke is being persecuted . now , if we 're not smart about this , we 're gon na push them down the aisle even faster when we should be tearing them apart . luke : i meant to tell you michael stopped by the office yesterday . tracy : really ? hope he did n't want his job back . luke : no , nothing like that . he , uh , he wanted to know if elq would make a donation to the nurses ' ball in aj 's memory . tracy : that 's a good idea . yeah , that would make monica happy , and it 's a tax deduction . win / win . luke : you think ? you think that outweighs the negative ? i mean , he did murder a woman . tracy : luke , he was acquitted of that murder . luke : just because he was not convicted does n't mean he was exonerated . everybody thinks he did it . tracy : what do you think i should do ? luke : i think you should tell michael no dice . scott : bobbie , are you turning me down ? bobbie : i 'm afraid so . scott : well , but wait a minute ? did n't , uh , you and noah split up ? you know , is n't that the case ? bobbie : yeah . scott : well , it 's not like lucy and i are together . bobbie : exactly . lucy cut you loose . i know you 're hurting . but i also know you well enough to know you 're looking to inflict a little pain on lucy . and what better way to do that than during her 15 minutes to shine at the nurses ' ball ? scott : wait a minute . are you accusing me of taking you to the nurses ' ball because lucy picked kevin over me and i 'm trying to make her jealous , get back at her ? bobbie : are n't you ? lucy : shwoo ! duke : two , three , four , and one and two and ... elizabeth : mm , mm , mm . ric : what do you got there ? elizabeth : blueberry . it 's my favorite . you got to try it . ric : thank you . elizabeth : mm - hmm . ric : tastes great . elizabeth : i know . my boys love it . and i like that it 's made with real fruit . lucy : yes , yes , yes ! ooh , ooh ! perfect , you guys ! perfect ! yes , yes , yes ! elizabeth : is it just me , or doest seem like every year , something is gon na go really wrong with the nurses ' ball and then lucy comes in and saves it ? ric : i do n't know . i think this one could be my favorite one of all . elizabeth : why do you say that ? ric : easy . i 'm going with you . mac : [ normal voice ] mr. marbles is a nurses ' ball institution . kevin : guys . felicia : if i have to hear one more lame dig about that puppet ... kevin : guys . felicia : ... i 'm going to put you in an institution . kevin : guys ! mac : what ? what ? kevin : have you guys noticed anything off about lucy ? mac : well , is n't lucy always just a little bit off ? felicia : why do you say that ? kevin : well , i made this little crack about her leaving me over mr. marbles , and she took it so personally . mac : uh , i 'm sure she 's just pressured about the nurses ' ball . felicia : yeah , yeah . you know how she gets . kevin : i guess . yeah . you 're -- you 're probably right . i mean , she really becomes a different person once the nurses ' ball picks up steam . but that 's my lucy . nikolas : i know you 're hurt . but i promise you , you 'll be okay . spencer : nothing will be okay ever again . nikolas : spencer , they -- they just went to a party . spencer : no , they 're going to dance together . nikolas : so what ? i mean , i - i dance at weddings , inaugurations . heck , i even danced with the queen of england at the jubilee , but that does n't mean i 'm in love with her . spencer : but this is n't a waltz or the virginia reel . this is the tango , the dance of love . anna : one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight . cam , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight . one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight . lucy : [ laughs ] yes ! marv -- oh , my gosh ! that is marvelous ! you guys , that is so cool . you are going to steal the show ! yes ! yay , yay , yay ! okay . kevin : well , it looks like things are really coming together . lucy : yes , uh , the singers are heavenly , and our dancers are appropriately sinful , and i think -- i hope we put the kibosh on little wooden boy . kevin : lucy ... lucy : [ breathing heavily ] yes , i know . [ chuckles ] and you 're right . you 're always right . nothing -- and i mean nothing -- is gon na stop this from being the very best nurses ' ball ever . dr. obrecht : i would n't be so sure of that . anna : uh , it 's all right , everyone . you do n't need to panic . obrecht has n't actually escaped custody . the charges against her have been dropped . she 's free to roam the streets like any other emancipated psychopath . dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] thank you , anna , for the warm introduction and explanation . anna : hmm . dr. obrecht : i was tiring of repeating myself . duke : well , perhaps if you sewed your lips together , it would take care of the problem permanently . anna : yep . dr. obrecht : another year , another nurses ' ball . my invitation must have been lost in the mail . duke : maybe that had something to do with your incarceration . dr. obrecht : or perhaps you 'd hoped to keep me out of the loop and allow your plans to proceed without oversight . how wrong you were . i am chief of staff of general hospital . my investment makes this ball possible . or not . nikolas : i know that you think you and emma were meant to be , right ? spencer : i do n't think so . i know so . we 're ron and hermione , oprah and gayle , bert and ernie . one does n't make sense without the other . nikolas : [ chuckling ] okay , okay . i - i - i am sorry that you 've had to learn the tough lessons of love at such a young age , but , you know , sometimes meant to be just is n't meant to be . spencer : so you 're saying i just let her go , give her up ? is that what you would do if you had to watch the girl of your dreams go to a magical ball with someone else ? nikolas : sometimes you have no choice , buddy . dr. obrecht : nurse webber , it 's good to see you out and about . how is the wing ? elizabeth : come on , guys . rehearsal 's over . let 's go . ric : yeah , great job , cam . you and emma are a regular fred and ginger . cameron : who ? ric : keep moving . anna : if you think you can shut us down , you are sadly mistaken . dr. obrecht : why on earth would i do that ? the ball raises money for important medical research . anna : yeah , legal medical research performed on willing participants -- not exactly up your alley , is it ? lucy : okay , wait , wait , wait . if you are not here to stop the ball , then why are you here ? dr. obrecht : is n't it obvious ? felicia : well , no . dr. obrecht : i 'm here to rehearse . lucy : ooh . [ chuckles ] so , you do n't want to stop the ball . you want to be in the ball ? dr. obrecht : but of course . is it not a long - standing tradition for the chief of staff to take part ? steve hardy himself was featured in the very first nurses ' ball . lucy : yeah , that 's true , but steve hardy was a great guy . dr. obrecht : you may not know this , but i am something of a performer . [ chuckles ] as a girl , i sang with the nuns at the nonnberg abbey . but do n't worry . what i have planned for my number is a bit peppier than a hymnal . it will be scads of fun . ha ! nathan : well , maxie , are you coming to the ball or you staying ? maxie : [ sighs ] levi 's right . shoveling cash at the problem does n't fix things , so , um , i 'll stay with levi . nathan : well , so much for thinking for yourself . maxie : [ sighs ] scott : you know , if i had my druthers , i 'd skip the nurses ' ball completely , but as an elected official , i 've got to make an appearance . bobbie : hmm . so you want me to be your armor . scott : i want you to be my date . i enjoy your company . we 've been friends for a long time . and maybe , maybe we could be more . bobbie : what about your feelings for lucy ? scott : lucy made her choice . she did n't choose me , so i am moving on . i 'm tired of pining away for women that have no interest in me . laura , then lucy . i 'm making a fresh start . bobbie : oh , so why you looking at me for ? we 've tried and failed at least a dozen times . scott : it has n't been that many times . bobbie : feels like more . scott : well , maybe ten 's the lucky number . now , what do you say , bobbie ? come on . we 'll never know unless you give it a try . what do you say ? what do you say ? what do you say ? bobbie : oh , what the hell . [ laughs ] tracy : maybe you 're right . luke : i wish i was n't . i hate to disappoint michael . tracy : we 'll find another way to honor aj . luke : [ sighs ] well , then it 's done . will you break the news ? tracy : me ? he came to you . luke : you 're the boss . you know that kid . he 's not gon na quit until he hears it directly from you . tracy : i suppose . luke : good . good . that means i 'm free to work on my surprise for the nurses ' ball . tracy : what surprise ? luke : [ chuckles ] kiki : all right . okay . i 'll take another crack at luke . michael : meaning what ? kiki : meaning i 'll come on to him again and hopefully let his guard down . michael : absolutely not . kiki : i can handle him . michael : you already `` handled `` him once . he 'll be ready for you . i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na risk your safety . there has to be some other way to keep luke from getting his hooks into elq . ned : maybe there is . emma : grandma anna ? anna : hmm ? emma : is the lady with the weird voice gon na be in the ball ? anna : no , not if i have anything to say about it . no . lucy : okay . okay , wait . uh , hey ! ha . um , doctor chiefy . chief madam . chief doctor person . how about this ? okay . what if -- let 's just say you give a little speech . dr. obrecht : a speech ? i just informed you that i am a chanteuse , and you suggest that i orate ? lucy : yeah . uh , yeah . well , because the thing is , you see , i - i have all of the lineup here , and all the cues -- they 're set , so i really do n't have any room to fit you in the lineup . dr. obrecht : but this is the theater . lucy : yes , this is the theater . and -- and see , we 've had our tech and dress . we 're done . and so , i hope you can join us next year . hey , everybody ! let 's go ! shoo , shoo , shoo . time to go home , get a snack , 'cause this is the best night of our lives . come on ! everybody out ! mac : oh , wait , i forgot marbles . felicia : no ! leave him ! he 'll be here when we get back . duke : [ laughs ] dr. obrecht : i know how you feel , herr marbles . left behind , frozen out , not part of the group . [ chuckles ] but we will show them , ja ? they do n't know it yet , but they are going to soon learn a harsh lesson . no one puts liesl in a corner . | maxie tells nathan that he seems too uptight to perform in the nurses ' ball . he asks if that is in addition to all the other negative things she has said he is . she says those were levi 's ideas . he wonders if she is levi 's parrot . levi says nathan has to move out . maxie proves that she can make her own decision by saying that nathan can stay because he pays rent . levi tells maxie that they wo n't see nathan 's act because they are not going to the nurses ' ball . when maxie agrees to stay home with levi , nathan says it does n't seem like she is thinking for herself . |
nikolas : you think jake is jason morgan ? how do you even know that name ? hayden : [ chuckles ] um ... all the cool kids are talking about him . nikolas : really ? like who ? hayden : a whole bunch of people who think he 's dead . but you and i know he 's not , because he 's jake . and you 've been trying to keep that little tidbit from everyone in this town . nikolas : you mean from all the cool kids ? hayden : bottom line -- the man whose wife i pretended to be is n't named jake barnes or even just jake . he 's a guy named jason morgan . nikolas : and where did you get this misguided and completely absurd idea ? hayden : [ chuckles ] from you . [ scene_break ] jake : i figured this out months ago . this is where i want to be . you 're who i want to be with . you 're all i want . now , the question is ... am i who you want ? nikolas : if you go through with this , you 'll end up hating yourself . it 's not in you to hurt people , elizabeth . elizabeth : who am i hurting ? ! you said it yourself -- jason will never be able to put sam and danny first , and patrick can . i 've wanted you for a long time . longer than you know . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] anna : are we really gon na do this ? duke : yes . we should have done it when i first came home to you . anna : yeah . well , when ? when are we gon na do it ? where -- where should we go ? duke : now . tonight -- we ca n't waste any time . we 've got to go before somebody tries to stop us . anna : okay . if we go to the docks -- uh , pier 54 -- there 's a boat that leaves for canada . we can go on that . duke : okay . we 'll go there , then we 'll go onward . i 'll see you at midnight . anna : well , let 's go now . duke : there 's something i have to take care of . there 's just one loose end i have to tie up . one thing i have to take care of , and then i 'll see you later . anna : midnight . duke : for god 's sake , bruce , pick up your damn phone . did n't you get my message ? the hit on jordan ashford has been called off . [ scene_break ] jordan : [ smooch ] so , am i gon na get my private show ? hmm ? shawn : well , i thought you , uh , might have forgotten . jordan : [ chuckles ] mmm . are you kidding me ? huh ? it 's gon na take a hell of a lot more than a run - in with my ex - boss to forget that you promised me `` supernatural , `` shawn . shawn : well , a promise is a promise . jordan : without his word , a man is nothing . shawn : look , just , um -- just give me a minute to get my head back in the game . jordan : wait a second . you 're not still thinking about that brawl in the lobby , are you ? shawn : i still ca n't believe what happened with julian , you know ? [ scene_break ] sam : no , i understand why you chose not to say anything to julian , but now i know the truth , and what am i supposed to do -- lie to my father ? lie to me about what ? olivia : julian . what are you doing here ? julian : asking my daughter a question . so , daughter of mine ... what are you lying to me about ? [ scene_break ] jake : did you hear that ? elizabeth : what ? jake : nothing . i kissed you , and ... nothing . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] ouch . jake : no , no , no , no , no . you know what i mean . there 's no helena summoning me to commit mayhem . no fake wife knocking on your door to interrupt . just you and me . what a perfect way to end this evening . elizabeth : what do you mean , `` end `` ? jake : heh . w - well , you have had one very long and exhausting night . you must be tired , so i am going to be good , and , um [ clears throat ] i 'm gon na go . um , i 'm gon na say good night . elizabeth : jake . jake : yeah ? elizabeth : i do n't want you to leave . [ scene_break ] julian : sam , you know what ? if somebody put you in a position to lie to me , screw them . you know , you can just tell me what 's going on . sam : it 's not that simple . julian : sure it is . [ chuckling ] i mean ... patrick : julian , why do n't you just give everybody a little space here , okay ? julian : oh , i see . so , you know what 's going on , too . what am i , the only one in the dark ? alexis : no , no . i 'm right there with you . ned : how about you answer olivia 's question . why are you two still here ? i thought you left . alexis : yeah , well , we had a little confrontation in the lobby with shawn . he took a swing at julian . sam : wait . shawn hit you ? ned : not surprising , considering the line of work you 're in . julian : well , not all of us can be a middle - aged rock- ' n'-roll has - been . ned : oh , you 're right . racketeering is a much nobler profession . thanks , by the way . a little mob violence was just what the nurses ' ball needed . sam : are you all right ? julian : i 'm fine . alexis and i just came here to get some ice , so do n't worry about me . as for shawn and that traitor jordan ... they 'll get what 's coming to them . [ scene_break ] shawn : who the hell does julian think he 's fooling ? jordan : come on . did you really think that he was gon na admit that his people took a shot at me ? shawn : i forgot . i just figured he might be man enough to own it . jordan : [ chuckles ] not in front of his girlfriend and lawyer ... shawn : [ sighs ] jordan : ... who also happens to be your ex . shawn : you 've got me there , all right ? but , still , it 's insulting that julian , for some reason , thinks we 'd actually fall for it . if it was n't the jeromes who targeted you ... jordan : mm - hmm ? shawn : ... then who was it ? [ lock engages ] [ scene_break ] anna : [ sighs ] oh , be practical , devane . what are you gon na need a knee - length gown for ? [ knock on door ] anna : duke . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] duke : bruce , i want to make myself absolutely clear . the hit on jordan ashford does not happen , okay ? i 've had a long conversation with anna , and i 've changed my mind . no matter what happens , do n't go after her . do i make myself clear ? no matter what happens , it 's imperative you do not hit jordan ashford . carlos : hey , duke lavery ! [ snickers ] just the man i wanted to see . maybe me and you could have a little chat . duke : yeah , well , maybe some other time . there 's someplace i have to be . carlos : i apologize . sorry , sorry . i did n't make myself clear . that was n't a request . [ scene_break ] anna : what are you doing here , sloane ? sloane : sorry to interrupt . anna : mm - hmm ? sloane : if you 're with lavery ... anna : i 'm not with lavery , [ scoffs ] why ? sloane : i 've got something to tell you . listen , can i come in ? anna : no ! you ca n't come -- it 's late . what do you have to tell me ? sloane : i have some information about the attempted hit on jordan ashford . [ scene_break ] jordan : picking a fight with your enemy -- that -- that ca n't be good for business . shawn : [ sighs ] i know . look , i 'll bring duke up to speed tomorrow . jordan : do you really think it should wait ? shawn : look , why ruin his evening ? i 'll call him first thing , and let him know that julian and i got into it . well , never mind the fact that duke specifically asked me not to approach julian at the ball . jordan : oh , yeah , he did say that , did n't he ? shawn : i just ca n't help myself , you know ? just thinking about someone going after you just makes me so mad , i ca n't see straight . look , i hate the idea of anyone ... ... hurting the woman i love . [ scene_break ] olivia : it 's very late . i 'm exhausted . julian , in the future , could you and shawn just keep your mob wars out of my hotel , okay ? julian : you mean the hotel that you allow sonny to keep an office in ? olivia : yes . exactly . it 's called a double standard . i 'm sure alexis would be happy to explain it to you someday . now , you came here for ice . get the ice , put it on your face , and get out . julian : you know what ? no one 's going anywhere until i get an explanation . now , sam , what did you mean when you said you could n't lie to me ? sam : um ... patrick : sam will tell you what she was talking about when she 's ready to . ned : you 're making a big deal out of nothing , julian . julian : i disagree . olivia : look , i - i do n't know what you thought you heard , but obviously you heard wrong . julian : with all due respect , i 'd like to hear it from sam . [ scene_break ] nikolas : from me ? hayden : mm - hmm . right from those beautiful , full , kissable lips . nikolas : that 's funny . 'cause i do n't remember addressing the subject with you . hayden : you were n't talking to me . it was n't enough for carly to blow my fake marriage all to hell . she evicted me from her hotel . would n't even give me time to go get my things , and i was n't about to let her dump them on the street . so i snuck back inside , and as i was crossing through the lobby , i happened to overhear you and elizabeth having a very intense conversation . nikolas : [ chuckles ] you were spying on us . hayden : you probably should n't have been discussing top - secret subjects in a public place . although , elizabeth did n't sound too stable , so maybe you did n't have a choice . nikolas : what did you hear ? hayden : you ... saying that you thought elizabeth was going to tell everyone that jake doe was really jason morgan . obviously elizabeth did n't go through with it . you must have thought your secret was safe . i guess you did n't count on little old me . nikolas : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : after all the times we 've almost gotten together , and we 've almost told each other how we feel , our luck is finally changing . we 're here . it 's just the two of us . jake : it 's the sign of the apocalypse . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] it 's not the end of anything . it 's just the beginning . jake : [ grunts ] elizabeth : i - i 've waited so long for this . let 's go upstairs . jake : are you sure ? elizabeth : i 've never been more sure about anything in my life . [ scene_break ] patrick : you know what , julian ? sam and i are both very tired . it 's been a very long night for everyone . why do n't we continue this conversation tomorrow ? julian : everyone can go home to their nightcaps as soon as sam answers me . alexis : everyone 's a little bit on edge , so why does n't everyone get some sleep and we 'll revisit this tomorrow ? julian : uh , okay , you know what ? i walked in on the four of you with your heads together , and now sam , my own daughter , who i 've come to love and trust , ca n't even tell me what the four of you were discussing . then i can only assume this was about olivia 's baby . hmm ? was that it ? olivia : it 's not it ! go home ! julian : is that what you could n't lie to me about ? ned : julian ! leave it alone ! julian : you know , i have suspected from the beginning that i was this baby 's father , but you -- you kept denying it . olivia : yeah , i 'm still denying it right now . julian : kept insisting that ned was the father . ned : this baby is mine . julian : oh . is that what you could n't lie to me about ? is -- is olivia carrying my baby ? ned : this is absurd . this is crazy . julian : i am talking to my daughter . olivia : julian ! alexis : i know you want the truth , but berating our daughter is not the way to get it . julian : i 'm not berating anyone . okay ? i 'm simply asking my daughter a question . now , sam , you -- you said that you could n't lie to me . now you do n't have to . you can just tell me what 's going on . what exactly ... do you know ? olivia : just leave her alone ! julian , just leave her alone ! [ gasps ] ow ! ow ! god ! [ scene_break ] duke : i do n't know what game this is , but i 'm not playing . carlos : oh , that 's funny . considering you 're the one who started this . duke : oh , what , ambushes in a garage ? carlos : what did you think would happen when you started messing with our shipments ? duke : seriously ? carlos : yeah . duke : i thought perhaps jerome would realize how futile his efforts were . he 'd take my offer and hand over his business ... carlos : [ scoffs ] duke : ... and then he could live a crime - free life with alexis . carlos : you thought you would take down julian 's organization . you hit us when we were weak . duke : of course . that 's when one usually strikes . i 'm sure even you know that , carlos . carlos : you thought you would cause so much damage we would n't be able to recover . well , who 's the weak one now ? hmm ? duke : the jeromes . waving a gun in my face is a desperation play . carlos : someone does a strike against us , we got to retaliate . someone causes a problem , we got to stop it . [ gun cocks ] carlos : which is why you got to die . [ scene_break ] anna : so , what is it that you know about the hit on jordan ? sloane : are you going somewhere ? anna : yeah . uh , i -- i have to go to washington tomorrow . i - i 've got to check in with bob massicotte . sloane : and how long are you gon na be gone ? anna : i do n't know . um ... i 'm -- i 'm not gon na discuss it with -- what -- what information do you have ? sloane : i spoke to my guy inside the jerome operation . he happens to be staying here at the metro court . anna : oh , yeah ? [ scoffs ] someone 's paying him well . you sure he 's not selling you out to julian ? sloane : oh , i 'm sure . carlos rivera was in my ci 's hotel room around the same time someone took the shot at jordan . anna : carlos was n't the shooter ? sloane : well ... it 's possible carlos tried to take jordan out , then came to the metro court to plant the weapon and frame my guy . anna : is that what you think happened ? sloane : it 's one theory . my informant believes carlos came to the metro court to take down one of the corinthos people on the restaurant terrace . now , if he 's right , then someone else was on the pier shooting at jordan . [ scene_break ] [ slow - tempo music playing as jordan & shawn dance and kiss ] [ muffled singing as the hitman , bruce , stands outside their door ] singer : and what i need jordan : what is it ? what 's wrong ? shawn : uh , nothing . i , um ... just want you to know i love you so much . jordan : i love you too . now about that show ... [ chuckles ] singer : you must have known i wanted to [ scene_break ] nikolas : whatever you think you heard , you misunderstood . hayden : really ? that 's too bad . because , if jake really is jason morgan , that fills in a whole lot of gaps . nikolas : does it ? hayden : i knew that you did n't want anyone to find out the truth , but i did n't know why . what possible difference could it make to you if jake did or did n't know his real name ? turns out , quite a lot a bit of a difference . nikolas : what do you think i stand to gain ? hayden : if jake knew that he was really jason morgan , he could somehow block your plans to take over elq . nikolas : ah , and you know all about ... hostile corporate takeovers , do n't you ? hayden : i know all about elq . it 's tough to miss the building , smack dab in the middle of port charles ' skyline . although , you do n't really strike me as greedy . i mean , i know the rich always want more , but clearly you 're not hurting for money . i think you 're doing this for the challenge . and , of course , to play hero to elizabeth . nikolas : if i 'm keeping the truth about a man 's life a secret , that 's not very heroic , now , is it ? hayden : but you 're finally giving the tragic nurse webber her heart 's desire . from what i overheard , that poor , little dishrag has spent years pining for jason morgan . nikolas : [ scoffs ] hayden : i mean , personally , i do n't see them as a couple . i got to know jake a little bit . i mean , the guy 's completely independent . not suited to sitting on a couch or painting picket fences ... nikolas : [ grunts ] hayden : ... which is probably why there was never a lasting place in jason 's life for elizabeth . nikolas : you might want to show a little empathy ... considering you were pretending to be his wife . hayden : at least i did n't know who the guy really was . elizabeth not only knows him , she claims to love him . but she 's stealing jake -- or -- or jason -- from his wife , his kid , his extended family , and what sounds like a fortune in elq stock , all so she can keep him to herself . and she 's got you to help her do it , so , no , i do n't feel sorry for elizabeth . she 's wanted this jason for years . nikolas : [ sighs ] hayden : and she finally figured out a way to get her claws into the guy . [ scene_break ] [ slow - tempo music playing as jake & elizabeth go into her bedroom kissing ] singer : something in the air tonight makes me want to run something in the smiles tonight makes me feel alone and just when i start to come undone the way i often do all of the lights just fade away and it all comes down to you and it all comes down to you sometimes the world 's too much for me i think i 'm gon na drown but you make me come alive whenever you 're around and it all comes down to you [ scene_break ] bruce : keep your pants on , boss . i 'm getting it done . shawn : so , how was the show ?

[ sighs ] yeah , what 's up ? bruce : duke wants me to pass on a message . there 's a shipment coming in tonight -- pier 54 . he needs you to supervise . shawn : really ? why have n't i heard about this ? bruce : it 's last minute . duke says it has to come off without a hitch . you better get to the pier . now . shawn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : if carlos was n't the shooter , it could have been any one of jerome 's people . sloane : i have another theory . what if it was duke ? [ scene_break ] duke : you 're gon na kill me because i stopped you from using our piers ? carlos : give braveheart a gold star . duke : oh , carlos , go home . even you must see this is not a clever idea . carlos : you know , the more you talk , the more i 'm liking it . duke : how long have you been in this business -- a long time now ? carlos : mm - hmm . duke : surely you can see this is not a proportional response . carlos : it 's not ? duke : this is not how you retaliate for a territorial dispute . you do n't take out a kingpin . carlos : is that what you are ? 'cause i thought you was a flunky , a figurehead . you know , just keeping the seat warm while corinthos is off taking care of his family drama . duke : yeah , whatever . i 'm in charge for the moment . and if you kill me , you 'll incite a mob war . that 's not good for anybody 's business . carlos : mm . i disagree . eliminate the competition -- good for business . duke : if you think by doing this you 're gon na score points with julian , you better think again . the opposite is gon na happen . when julian finds out you 've killed me , and you incur sonny 's wrath , julian 's gon na have your head . carlos : [ smacks lips ] i do n't think so . julian 's the one who ordered the hit . [ scene_break ] olivia : [ groaning ] ned : you all right ? julian : oh , give me a break . that is the oldest trick in the book . ned : no , it 's not . come on . sit down . julian : of course , it is . she 's faking to keep sam from answering the question . ned : she was in the hospital yesterday , you jackass ! julian : what ? well , is the baby all right ? olivia : not that it 's any of your business , but -- oh ! ow ! julian : what is going on ? what is it ? what 's going on ? olivia : it 's called braxton - hicks contractions . ow ! julian : that tells me nothing . olivia : [ gasps ] ned : it 's false labor pains . it 's the body 's way of preparing for birth . olivia : [ groans ] julian : well -- well , when did this start happening ? olivia : what part of `` yesterday `` is still confusing to you ? patrick : olivia , i 'd like to examine you . do i have your permission ? olivia : yes . yes , please . whatever you need to do . whatever helps . ned : okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . olivia : okay . julian : sam , please , just tell me . olivia : [ groaning ] julian : is that my baby ? [ scene_break ] jake : [ chuckles ] mm . hi . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : this is gon na sound a little crazy , but , um ... elizabeth : compared to everything else you 've had to tell me ? jake : you know , that 's a good point . [ both chuckle ] jake : i do n't know . uh , you and i felt , um , natural . almost familiar . elizabeth : in a good way ? jake : [ inhales deeply ] in the best way . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] me too . it 's just like how i imagined it would be . [ scene_break ] hayden : so ? when can i move in ? nikolas : you ca n't .

i mean , honestly ? carly : i do n't know . that 's a decision you have to make , but i 'm telling you i will support whatever you decide . i will . jax : oh , it 's -- you know , every day i 'm more convinced that that 's what courtney would 've wanted -- for john to grow up in a loving home with me , with you , you know , with his extended family -- you , michael , and morgan . carly : that works for me . jax : ok . i 'm going to have to ask you a huge favor . carly : oh , what 's that ? jax : my mom keeps calling . she 's dying to meet john . carly : why have you been putting her off ? jax : because i did n't , you know , want her to get attached to him if i was going to give him up . but now that i 'm convinced that john should stay with me , i think it 's time for him to meet his grandma . i was hoping that you and the boys would come with me . alexis : monica -- monica : huh ?

jason : that 's fine . alexis : sam , it 's alexis . sam , wake up . sam , wake up . please , wake up , sam . i have ... carly : well , you know , there 's no funeral arrangements to make for my father . in his will said he did n't want a ceremony , which is kind of ironic , considering the glory hound that he was , you know ? jax : maybe he did n't want you to go to the trouble . carly : maybe he did n't think anyone would come . jax : look , if you want to have a ceremony for your father , then we can delay the trip . carly : no , no , i want to get michael and morgan out of town . jax : you sure ?

[ scene_break ] carly : hey , so i -- i had mercedes take morgan to the library . i thought about having them go to the arcade . i know how much he likes the arcade , but he usually goes there with you . i know you always teach him how to play all the hard games . carly : your brother misses you so much . he misses you so much , so we -- we 've got to get you better for him . okay , we 're going to do all your exercises , and we 're going -- we 're going to do all the therapy we need to do for you , and you 're going to wake up , and you 're going to come back . hey , sweetie pie . jason 's come to say hi to you . come on . jason : hey , buddy . carly : is n't it great seeing michael in his own room ? jason : it 's nice to have some windows open , is n't it ? look , i 'm going to talk to your mom downstairs for a minute . carly : look , this is going to be an adjustment , but i can make this work . jason : i want you to tell me how . [ scene_break ] diane : i came right away because milo called and said it was urgent , but if this is about jason being accused in the ian devlin -- sonny : that -- that can wait . just listen to me , okay ? this is a priority . i -- i need -- i need you to do whatever it takes to get me sole guardianship of michael . diane : well , this is out of left field . i assume we 're going to be encountering some heated resistance . what are your grounds ? sonny : carly brought michael to his room at home with -- with the hospital bed , the monitors , the tubes , the whole nine yards . it 's not good for morgan . he 's a little boy . it 's not good for carly , or michael for that matter , because he needs more care than carly can give him , so i need the authority as a parent to be able to take michael to a facility where he 'll be -- you know , they can care for him 24-hours . kate : sonny , that might be the worst possible thing you could do . [ scene_break ] luke : hey . nikolas : hey . luke : you up for company ? nikolas : sure , sure . come on in . luke : turns out i 'm a little early for physical therapy on this bum knee . well , you know , you do n't look bad . [ nikolas laughs ] luke : i guess the operation was a success . nikolas : yeah , yeah . expected to make a full recovery , i guess . luke : well , that 's good . nikolas : yeah . well , i 'm just trying to figure out exactly what that means -- a full recovery . i mean , how do you pick up the pieces of your life and move on without the woman that made it worthwhile to begin with ? look , i 'm sorry . i know that 's dicey territory for you . i apologize . luke : no , no -- no apology necessary . when it comes to your mother , you have nothing to ever apologize to me for . nikolas : okay . well , then , maybe you would n't mind if i ask , how did you ? i witnessed some of the fallout from you losing laura twice , and really , how did you bounce back from that ? luke : well , at first i did n't . i did n't even want to bounce back . if i was going to go through the rest of my life without her , i just did n't think it was going to be worth it . so i spent a lot time in denial . i kept thinking , hoping she 'd find her way back to me if i held her hand long enough or whispered just the right words in her ear . but closing your eyes to what is real only gets you so far . and eventually , truth is stronger than hope . i do n't know , nikolas . you just , uh , you get through it . you somehow learn to accept the loss , deal with the pain , and one day , before you know it , you 're no longer standing on the edge of an abyss . somehow , miraculously , you 're on the other side . [ scene_break ] carly : let me guess , sonny called you . jason : no , he did n't . carly : oh . i thought that 's why you were here . morgan tried to wake up michael . i heard him from down the hall and i knew what i was going to see when i walked in and opened the door . and there he was shaking him , trying to wake him up . i do n't know how to explain a coma to five - year - old . i ca n't even tell him that michael was shot in the head . i just said that he was hurt really bad . jason : i think that 's all morgan can handle for right now . carly : you get that . sonny does n't . he came over here and told morgan straight out that michael was never going to wake up . how do you tell that to a little boy ? how do you tell that to your own son ? now he wants to go to the court . he wants to get emergency guardianship and take michael away from me so he can send him to some institution that jax found . i do n't want to fight sonny . i want to focus on my little boy . but i will . i mean , if sonny pushes me , i 'm going to push back . jason : is n't it more important to do what 's best for michael ? carly : michael being at home is what 's best for michael . jason : i do n't know , carly . if it 's going to hurt his brother , it 's not . if it 's going to hurt you , it 's not . [ scene_break ] kate : if carly fights sonny 's petition for michael 's guardianship , which we can be sure she will -- diane : mm - hmm . kate : how long do you think it would be for sonny to win ? diane : months . years , possibly . kate : and based on what you know about these kinds of cases , what would be the likely outcome ? diane : that is impossible to predict , even after months of an appeal . a judge may simply decide to leave things exactly as they are . or in a worse case scenario , if the mud really starts to fly , michael could become a ward of the court . kate : you ca n't do that to carly , or to yourself . diane : i shall leave the two of you to work this out . if you decide to file , call me . sonny : i went to carly 's to see michael . morgan was right by his side , telling him to wake up . i ca n't let that happen , kate . i mean , i ca n't undo what happened to michael , but i can definitely do right by morgan . kate : maybe you should take a step back right now , sonny , and have some faith in carly as a mother . [ scene_break ] nikolas : living through it , that i can grasp . but i do n't know , finding love with someone else ? i just -- i ca n't imagine that happening . luke : well , i do n't know . you know , you ca n't recreate love . what i felt for laura -- what i will always feel for laura , what you feel for emily , that 's a once - in - a - lifetime deal . but what i have with tracy is once - in - a - lifetime , too . love is always the first time , no matter how often it comes around . that 's the miracle of it . you 'll always hold emily in your heart , nikolas . but there is room in there to love again . i know it does n't seem like that now , but unexpectedly , unbelievably , it 'll happen . you 're a young man . anyway , i 've got to go . i got a massage with my name on it downstairs . nikolas : okay , thank for stopping by . luke : you take care of yourself . nikolas : you , too . take care of that knee . luke : i 'm trying . nikolas : luke ? luke : hmm ? nikolas : thanks , really .

[ scene_break ] sonny : let me get this straight , you 're taking carly 's side ? kate : i guess i am . sonny : yeah , well , she 's done nothing but hurt you . i mean , you know , michael getting shot has made her mean and unfair and she lashes out at you , she blames you when you should n't even be blamed . kate : she does n't have a monopoly on wrong , sonny . look , i showed up at the hospital at michael 's bedside . sonny : yes . kate : my intention was to support you , but it came at a time when it was the last thing that carly needed . it was hurtful , and i regret that . but what i 'm talking about is bigger . carly is a good mother . she 's a like a mother bear when she protects her cubs . and she has very strong instincts -- or do n't you believe that anymore ? sonny : yeah , i -- yeah , i do . kate : okay . sonny : okay . kate : so you have to trust her . you have to trust that in a week , in a month , she 's going to come to realize that she 's not helping michael and she 's going to face the painful truth that her son 's not going to get any better . but , sonny , you got ta give her the room and the respect to figure that out on her own , to come to the other side in whatever way she has to .

lauren : yes . franco was my father . so , what does uncle aj want with me ? spinelli : only to give you what is rightfully yours -- your birthright , your inheritance . sonny : did you know anything about a girl ? michael : no . sonny : are you sure about that ? michael : we had n't talked in a while -- just the , you know , occasional text . carly : what did travis say about this girl ? sonny : he said that morgan met her on the internet on some gaming site . carly : so she 's a gambler ? michael : do n't assume it 's a girl . i mean , morgan could have been catfished . sonny : what -- what is that ? michael : when you meet somebody online and you 're not sure who they are . they can be pretending to be anybody . i mean , it happened to that -- that football player . carly : so , morgan thinks he 's running off to meet some girl , and it 's gon na turn out to be a predator ? sonny : okay , more likely it 's somebody connected to the syndicate . they tracked morgan down , and they 're targeting him as my son . carly : okay . who are you calling ? michael : i 'm calling aj . there 's no way i can go to new york now . tracy : why would elizabeth webber be in manhattan staying at this hotel ?

[ door beeps ] elizabeth : nikolas , what are you doing in my hotel room ? nikolas : you mean my hotel room ? it 's -- it 's fine . you 're welcome anytime . elizabeth : no , no , this is 1604 . it 's me . nikolas : 1604 -- would be me . uh , i 'm sure there 's a mix - up . i 'll just call the front desk and have it changed . elizabeth : wait , what are you doing here ? nikolas : i have some business in town . elizabeth : you flew here tonight , checked into the hotel where i 'm staying , and now you 're standing in my hotel room . nikolas : i know . what are the odds ? elizabeth : a little too high to calculate . i told you i was coming here . i told you where i was staying . you really expect me to believe that this is all just a coincidence ? aj : yeah , i 'll -- i 'll call you right after the taping , all right ? hey , michael , listen , uh , i - i really wish you good luck with finding morgan . okay , bye . [ sighs ] what the hell are you doing here ? carly : um , what did aj say ? michael : uh , he understands , but he 's got elizabeth with him , so at least he 's not alone . carly : that 's good . sonny : okay , uh , michael , can you call spinelli and have him hack into the -- the site so we can track down the girl morgan 's talking to ? carly : let 's hope it 's a girl . michael : actually , spinelli is out of town . he 's tracking down something for elq . with any luck , he 's found what he 's looking for . lauren : i have an inheritance ? spinelli : yes . your great - grandfather , edward quartermaine , recently passed away . lauren : these quartermaines are dropping like flies . spinelli : yes , well , um -- edward left his company to his heirs , and as a great - grandchild , you are entitled to 6 % of the -- lauren : of the whole company ? spinelli : of the preferred stock , which is a tidy sum . but you are also entitled to a vote on company matters . lauren : what 's a tidy sum ? spinelli : quite honestly , i would n't know . but i - i 'm sure that your uncle could explain it all to you , and your uncle is very eager to meet your acquaintance . you see , he is currently embroiled in a bit of a fight with some of the other shareholders , and he -- he needs your vote . lauren : even though i 've never met him . spinelli : well , aj is the c.e.o . of elq international , but one of the members of the family wishes to see him unseated but does n't have the proper votes to do so . lauren : so , who 's my uncle 's opponent ? spinelli : that would be your great - aunt tracy . aj : this ought to be rich . so , tracy , what brings you to the big apple ? you know , scratch that . i think i know . you trailed me to new york . tracy : why would i trail you anywhere ? aj : oh , i do n't know . maybe you found out about my appearance on `` the chew `` with pickle - lila , huh ? then you got your little spies working on me . is that what it is ? tracy : [ laughs ] you know , it 's charming -- no , wrong word -- it 's delusional how important you think you are . aj : who was it , huh ? luke spencer ? tracy : i do n't know what you mean . aj : really ? let me tell you something . if you think for one second that you 're gon na sabotage my appearance on `` the chew `` tomorrow , you are insane . ava : i did n't know franco was insane when i met him . i was working at a gallery in soho . i believe they now call girls with those entry - level jobs `` gallerinas . `` luke : and , uh , franco was , in the art world , considered a rising prodigy ? ava : he had just done this huge graffiti installation on a bank wall . totally illegal . he just showed up one day and started painting , a hód stopped him . by the time the building owner notified the police , it was too late . the mural had captured the public imagination . people would stand out on the sidewalk watching him paint . schools were taking kids on field trips . when the building owners tried to have the mural removed , one of the public arts trusts sued to keep it in place , and they won based on the fact that the painting was public property . by the time the mural was completed , every dealer in the city was clamoring to represent franco . luke : and of all the galleries in all the towns in all the world and so forth . ava : [ chuckles ] he was -- sexy -- charming -- i hung his first show , and he brought me a bunch of artichokes wrapped in a silk -- silk ribbon to say thank you . luke : artichokes . that 's far more creative than roses . ava : [ chuckles ] art is often about commerce . people trying to buy themselves good taste . and franco was different . more than a flavor of the month . he was talented . even gifted . especially in those days , his early work was n't so -- relentlessly dark . everyone wanted to know franco , wanted a piece of him , and he was showering me with attention . it was seductive . i lost my objectivity , and we ended up in bed . i got pregnant . in retrospect , i never should have told him . luke : but you did . ava : he was thrilled . [ book thuds ] ava : too thrilled . it was as if the baby -- it was like -- he 'd made her , like she was his work of art . she was n't her own person . she was something he owned , that he could change and mold like clay . that 's when i started to see what i had refused to see before . franco was extremely eccentric , and there was a very scary side to him . i wanted no part of it . alexis : you 've done so well handling this , but i know you see him everywhere , you dream about him . i mean , every time you look at danny , you -- you see him . you look just like your daddy . sam : yes , he does . oh , mom , i was so scared and confused . all those months i thought that danny was franco 's . alexis : well , he would have been your son no matter what , right ? sam : oh , yes . i mean , i was prepared to love danny regardless , and i know jason was , too . this little boy right here is our little miracle , and i love that whenever i look at his face , i see jason . alexis : [ chuckles ] sam : and not that psychopath . ava : i did n't want lauren to know anything about franco or his side of the family . luke : you mean his mother . ava : as far as i know , that 's the only family he had . i cut all ties . and just so we 're clear , my daughter is lauren jerome . lauren frank was just wishful thinking on franco 's part . i did not want her to have his name . luke : she does n't . technically , her name is quartermaine . the battle against germs on hands carly : morgan 's in trouble . spinelli needs to stop doing whatever he 's doing for elq and help us . michael : maybe it 'd be faster if we just called the f.o.s . sonny : the f.o.s . ? michael : friends -- friends of spinelli . friends of spinelli . he has a network . one of them actually works at the metro . carly : wait a second . i have someone working for me that -- that 's in f.o.s . and i did n't know anything about this ? michael : maybe he can hack into the site and find out who morgan 's girl really is . carly : thank you . thank you . i 'm so worried about your brother , but i 'm so glad you 're here . michael : he 's my brother . i 'd do anything for him . he 's gon na be okay . sonny : yeah , he 's gon na be okay . and i 'm proud of you , mike . michael : just wait until i find something . i 'm gon na track down this f.o.s . and let 's just hope he 's as good as spinelli . lauren : so , why aj and not tracy ? i mean , what 's the difference ? spinelli : well , i mean , you 're free to research both candidates , of course , but what you 'll find is that tracy -- tracy used mob money to bail out the company after she practically bankrupted it , and then when the family finally forced her out , she leaked her own malfeasance to the press and basically tanked the company . but fortunately , your uncle is about to release a new product that is sure to be a major success . the stock will go through the roof -- unless tracy takes over . lauren : she 's that bad ? spinelli : she 's worse . so , all we 're asking is that you allow your uncle to make you rich . lauren : by voting for him . spinelli : you know what ? i just happen to have a proxy document here , which will just require your signature . so , miss frank -- do we have your cooperation ? ava : franco was a quartermaine ? luke : his adoption was as illegal as they come . ava : so , robert frank was actually robert quartermaine ? luke : which means his daughter , your daughter -- ava : is a quartermaine . luke : [ sighs ] i do n't know if you 're aware of it , but the quartermaines have been through a spot of trouble recently . ava : yeah . i read something about them fighting over a company ? luke : as a quartermaine , your daughter has a vote . she needs to give that vote to tracy . ava : why ? luke : because the current c.e.o . , tracy 's nephew , aj , is a mess . he 's a chronic screw - up . he 's never done anything successful in his life , and he 's guaranteed to drive this company into the ground . he 's already started that process . ava : so that 's why tracy wanted you to find lauren ? my daughter 's a tie- breaker in some battle for control of elq ? luke : you are admirably quick on the uptake , miss jerome . yes . tracy needs lauren to help unseat this irredeemable jerk -- and thereby save the family fortune . will you help us do that ? aj : admit it . you 're here to sabotage me . tracy : [ laughs ] why would i do that ? you 're perfectly capable of sabotaging yourself . you 've been doing it your whole life . aj : you know , tracy , i 'm on to you , you and whatever little scam you have planned . tracy : how did i never see this before ? your paranoia is just another way of ducking responsibility . you know you 're gon na screw up , and you 're already trying to blame me . aj : okay , you know what ? let 's get one thing straight . do n't even think about setting foot on `` the chew `` stage with your -- your down - market pickle - tracy . tracy : i promise you i will not show up on `` the chew `` with pickle - tracy . aj : and i should believe you because you 're such a bastion of truth and honesty ? tracy : i swear on the memory of my late lamented father , edward quartermaine , there is no pickle - tracy . elizabeth : so , how 'd you do it ? did you bribe the front desk to get them to send me to the same room ? nikolas : no , no , no . i would be absolutely shocked that a hotel of this caliber would have staff that , uh , took bribes . elizabeth : i see . that 's not a denial . nikolas : well , you know , what would be the point ? i know not to argue with you . and you can be very stubborn , elizabeth . elizabeth : yes . you do know me very well . nikolas : well , after all these years , it kind of goes without saying , does n't it ? elizabeth : nikolas , you showing up here , whether it was intentional or not , it -- it 's not gon na get you anywhere . nikolas : well , that 's -- that 's a good thing because i do n't have any expectations . elizabeth : nothing is gon na happen between us . i already told you that because it ca n't -- and i want to see where things go with aj . nikolas : right . right . well , if aj stays true to form , uh , i do n't really see how that can happen . elizabeth : okay . i do n't want to talk to you about this . why do n't you put your clothes on and just go get your own room ? nikolas : actually , i was here first . but this , uh , this bed here is , uh -- it 's very spacious . you 're welcome to share it with me . sam : and i 'm not sorry that -- that franco is dead . i am not . he -- he destroyed the last few months that jason and i had together , and i do n't think i will ever be able to forgive that . alexis : you have got to let go of this anger . you have to try , because if you hang on to it , you 're giving him all this power , and you do n't want to do that , do you ? sam : you 're right . no , i do n't want to do that , mom . you 're right . okay . let 's -- let 's get out of here . enough talking about franco . we got to get this little guy home . alexis : you bet . sam : [ chuckles ] alexis : all right . sam : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] elizabeth : we ca n't do this . nikolas : ca n't do what ? elizabeth : this . this . we ca n't do this . i ca n't share a bed with you or a room or even a conversation because -- because this is n't fair . it 's not fair for you to tease me like this . nikolas : you think i 'm teasing you ? elizabeth : yes . okay , fine . fine . if you do n't leave , i will . i 'm gon na go downstairs and get my own room . nikolas : i 'm disappointed . [ door opens ] elizabeth : [ chuckles ] well , you should be . think about all that bribe money you wasted . nikolas : at least i can take comfort in knowing you 're not spending the night with aj quartermaine . aj : so , you 're really swearing on grandfather 's memory ? tracy : [ scoffs ] i 'll swear on my mother 's , as well , if you do n't believe me . there is no pickle - tracy . you were right , aj . it -- it would never work . aj : well , then , what are you doing here ? tracy : i 'm a businesswoman , and i am , uh , trying to make my way after some very difficult months . i 'm meeting with some people to see if i can get -- something new off the ground . aj : i do n't trust you . tracy : aj , i realize that victory is a very new feeling for you , but i think you should recognize it when it falls into your lap . you should get some rest . i 'm gon na get some rest , too . good luck on `` the chew `` tomorrow . i hope you get everything you deserve . [ door opens ] tracy : [ sighs ] spinelli : so , if you will just sign here where it says `` lauren frank `` -- lauren : sorry . no can do . spinelli : uh , uh , why not ? lauren : because i 'm not lauren frank . i 'm -- i 'm not franco 's daughter . spinelli : uh , i 'm sorry . but you -- you said that you were , so -- lauren : i lied . spinelli : why ? lauren : because a man named luke spencer paid me to . oh , and he left you a message . `` spinelli , you 've just been punked . `` ava : i assume this aj is also looking for lauren . luke : yes , but he wo n't find her . i 've taken care of that . ava : i 'm sure you have . you are clearly very resourceful . luke : thank you . i try . ava : and i assume there 's money in this for you somewhere ? luke : a nominal fee . i 'm doing this for a woman who would do the same for me . tracy is scary smart , and by rights , the company belongs to her . ava : i just do n't know if i want my daughter to get involved . luke : i understand . but what you need to know is that , as a quartermaine , your daughter is entitled to everything that that entails -- money , prestige , connections . ava : these people sound miserable . luke : is n't everyone , ava ? really ? it 's been my experience that money may not eliminate misery , but it certainly makes it easier to bear . ava : excellent point . luke : just make sure that she signs this , which guarantees that she turns her vote over to tracy . ava : i 'm gon na have to think about this . luke : fine . think about it . but do n't wait too long . [ door closes ] carly : you can go ahead and say it . sonny : say what ? that i 'm afraid for our son ? i am . so are you . carly : i got you to sign over custody to me because i was gon na keep him safe . sonny : yeah , but that 's over . you know , he 's a legal adult now . he gets to do whatever he wants . carly : i sent him away to school because i wanted to protect him , sonny . now he 's in worse danger than he would have been if he just stayed here . sonny : maybe . maybe not . but you know what ? we kept michael close . look what happened to him . carly : michael 's fine now . sonny : and morgan 's gon na be fine , too . carly : he just -- he kept coming up with excuses not to come home , you know ? he would go away with friends or he 'd stay for a study program . do you think it 's because he -- he did n't think we wanted to see him ? sonny : no , i think that he was -- he wanted to avoid us fighting . and who 's to blame him ? he 's not like michael . he 's not a peacemaker . he 's -- you know , he 's always looking for distractions . carly : yeah . [ sniffles ] think that 's where the gambling came from ? sonny : no . here 's -- here 's what i think . i think he was having a lot of fun , right ? he got in way over his head . and you know what ? he 's a -- he 's a kid . look , who 's more reckless than us ? carly : [ laughs ] sonny : he 's our kid . he 's our dna . did you really think he was n't ever gon na get in trouble ? carly : [ sighs ] no . [ laughs ] you 're right . i mean , he 's , you know -- we did n't keep an eye on him , really , and he 's independent . sonny : yeah . carly : but i - i just do n't understand how this could happen . look at him . [ sniffles ] he 's so young . ava : the coast is clear . you can come out now . | sam lights a candle for jason at a church . she is spooked when the candle blows out and the door creaks . she relights the candle and then is startled again when alexis comes in . sam feels like someone is watching her . she tells alexis that she still has times when she thinks jason is going to walk through the door , even though she knows he is never coming back . she vents her hatred toward franco for sullying her last few months with jason . when alexis , sam , and danny leave , someone watches them . |

[ camera shutters clicking ] sonny : olivia put two and two together . she confronted me . uh , i told her the truth 'cause , you know , there 's no way around it . shawn : how she take it ? sonny : not good . she was furious . she walked out on me . shawn : i 'm sorry to hear that , man . sonny : so , i do n't think , you know , going to the nurses ' ball is a good idea . plus , look , she does n't want to see me . it 's -- the hotel is her turf . shawn : yeah , i get it . but , uh , do you really want things to end between you two ? sonny : of course not . shawn : then go to the ball and fight for her , man . shawn : you know , uh , i 've gotten to know you pretty well since we started working together . sonny : yep . shawn : we got a lot in common . one being that , uh , neither one of us ever backs down from a fight . sonny : i caused this , shawn . olivia has every right to do what she 's gon na do . shawn : okay , maybe , but , uh , in the time that i 've known you , i 've never known you to give up on anything . so why should olivia be any different ? sonny : you got a point . shawn : look , sonny , it 's your decision , okay ? look , i do n't want to overstep , but i got a feeling that you still think there 's a chance for you two . you know , maybe showing up at the ball will let olivia know that you want things to work out . olivia : you know what ? i really do have to get dressed . um , sorry . donny : well , i guess we 'll have to wait and see if mr. corinthos will be in attendance . ah , and look , the guests have begun to arrive . brad : ugh . you actually watch this garbage ? britt : garbage ? i figured you 'd be into this . brad : why ? because i 'm gay ? and all gay men just love fashion , right ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : it 's , uh -- it 's ava . we -- we did the preschool interview for avery together . now she 's coming out to discuss it . michael : [ sighs ] okay . man , i can not believe my baby sister 's going to be in preschool . i ... i feel like i have n't spent any quality time with her in months . sonny : nanny took her to the park . you want to go to the park ? you want to hang with your little sister ? unless you 're too busy now being mr. ceo . michael : okay . actually , i - i , uh , clocked out for the day , and anyone needs to reach me , they have my e - mail , so a trip to the park with avery has my name written all over it . i 'm going to do that . oh , and dad -- remember what i said . time is your friend , okay ? get diane to delay this divorce as long as possible . you 'll be doing us all a favor . sonny : yeah . michael : all right ? sonny : all right , yep . michael : [ sighs ] [ doorbell rings ] ava : i told max i texted you ... sonny : yeah ? ava : ... that you knew i was coming . sonny : what do you want ? ava : well , sonny , i really appreciate you taking the time to see me . you wo n't regret it . sonny : no . but you might . ava : is avery upstairs ? does our genius daughter know that she 's gon na be attending the premier preschool in town ? sonny : avery 's in the park with her nanny . ava : ah . one of your housekeepers ' many nieces , correct ? sonny : pilar is graciela 's granddaughter . avery loves her . it 's just a beautiful thing to see . ava : mm . still , i think it 's too bad that avery must spend so much time with caretakers , no matter how beloved . sonny : it 's funny you should say that 'cause michael 's at the park , because he 's going to hang with his little sister . [ laughs ] okay . ava : that 's nice . i think it 's wonderful when the family comes together , and i think it 's equally sad when a family is torn apart . sonny : ava . ava : what ? sonny : do n't do that . ava : no , sonny , i just -- i just want to tell you that i admire you for fighting for what 's rightfully yours by any means necessary . i take it you got the picture i texted you ? sonny : what about it ? ava : well , that woman that i saw you with at the haunted star was no random beauty . she 's carly 's divorce attorney . [ chuckles ] so typical of you to get her into bed . talk about leverage . i guess you 're thinking that you could use her little indiscretion to force her to sabotage carly 's case . sonny : no comment . ava : but then again , if carly were to find out that you bedded her lawyer ... sonny : ava . i hope ... you did n't come here to threaten me . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not defending sonny , at least not as a husband . but he 's a good father , and the kids are not an issue in this divorce . i mean , our marriage just got to a place of irreconcilable differences . martina : i always tell my clients to separate yourself from your emotions . think of this as a break - up of a corporation . there 's no place for sentiment . it 's just cold , hard facts . carly : okay . martina : you have to protect your own assets , make sure he has no claim to your hotel . carly : oh , he does n't . martina : good , good . open solo bank accounts in your name , if you have n't already . same goes for credit cards . and start a journal . carly : a journal ? martina : yeah . carly : i mean , is n't that what a therapist will tell you to do -- write down your feelings ? [ laughs ] martina : what did i just tell you ? it 's not about your emotions -- it 's about fact . so , take stock of everything in your marriage , everything you 've put into your marriage time - wise , mentally , financially . carly : i 'm not following . martina : uh ... okay , for example , you seemed to have acted as a mother figure to sonny 's child with ava . carly : oh , but that was easy . i love avery . martina : yes , but it 's still your time and effort . all right , how about ... did sonny ever have any illnesses or surgeries you helped him recuperate from ? carly : he was shot , and he was in a wheelchair for about six months . martina : and you stood right by him . that 's exactly what i 'm talking about . [ sighs ] in the meantime , you need to make a list of all the ways that sonny tried to undermine your best efforts to make the marriage work . carly : i thought this was a `` no fault `` state . martina : yeah , well , judges are human beings , not emotionless calculators . so , when it comes to a valuation of what 's yours and what 's his , everything matters . carly : wow . martina : which brings me to your wedding rings . i notice you 're not wearing them . carly : no , i took them off this morning . martina : you need to put them back on .

[ scene_break ] daphne : cute little boy . who is he ? jason : he 's my son . have you ever seen him before ? daphne : no , never . i swear i 'm not lying . i heard rumors helena had a little boy living with her . she claimed she rescued him when a boat sank one stormy night and his parents were lost at sea . jason : but you never saw her with the boy ? daphne : for all i knew , it was just another one of helena 's lies . i do n't have to tell you how evil that woman was . she belonged on that horrible island , and i could n't wait to leave it . jason : speaking of horrible island ... ... does any of this look familiar ? [ scene_break ] franco : look , if jason 's a little freaked out , that 's a good thing , right ? means he 'll be cautious . sam : of course , he 's going to be cautious . this is about his love for his son , and that makes him ... vulnerable . ugh , that 's a word i never thought i 'd use to describe jason . [ phone rings ] elizabeth : it 's not jake , is it ? franco : no . hey , would you excuse us for a second , please ? sam : yeah , sure . franco : thanks . so , i have an appointment , and i thought i could put it off , but ... elizabeth : is this about the art commission you 're hoping to get ? franco : yeah , well , something like that . elizabeth : okay , do n't tell me . just surprise me , okay ? franco : okay . have i told you today that i love you ? elizabeth : yes , but it 's always nice to hear it again . franco : i love you . [ elevator bell dings ] [ scout fussing ] elizabeth : is she waking up ? sam : she 's a little flushed . i think she has a fever . elizabeth : she feels a little warm , but i do n't think it 's anything serious . sam : oh , come on , you know how difficult her birth was . i did n't have her in a hospital . her immune system could be compromised . elizabeth : i really think some fluids and a good nap , she 'll be just fine . sam : please , we 're at the hospital . can you just call a doctor ? please ? elizabeth : yes , yeah . i will get the on - call pediatrician to take a look at her . but really , i think she 's going to be all right .

[ scene_break ] carly : i have them right here . yeah , i noticed that sonny took his off . so i took mine off . martina : well , that 's exactly why you should put your rings back on -- because sonny took his off . i - i know it may seem small , but it makes a statement about your marriage . sonny is more than ready to move on , while you -- the aggrieved party of the first part -- is still invested in your marriage and has every right to the assets you 've claimed . carly : well , alexis was right . you think of everything . martina : not always . carly : yeah . andré : carly , i 'm sorry for interrupting , but do you have a minute ? carly : yes , i do . of course , i do . um , dr. andré maddox , this is my attorney , martina morales . martina : pleasure to meet you . andré : you , too . martina : okay , so , i 'm going to go read up on the holdings of the party of the second part , and i 'll probably be back with some more questions . carly : great , yeah , i 'll be here . andré : lawyer ? carly : sonny and i are getting divorced . andré : i 'm so sorry to hear that . i was hoping that once you guys got the results back for morgan 's pills , that might finally let old wounds heal . carly : you have n't seen or talked to sonny ? andré : about ? carly : we got the lab analysis back . whatever caused morgan to spiral out of control , it was n't the pills .

[ scene_break ] sam : thanks for not pointing out how badly i overreacted . elizabeth : well , is it possible you 're on edge , because your husband is halfway around the world investigating cassadine island , a place that haunts both of us ? sam : okay , well , that 's the nicest `` i told you so `` i 've ever heard . elizabeth : like you said , scout had a rough entry into the world . what mother would n't be overly cautious and protective of her ? i would have done the same exact thing .

[ scene_break ] alexis : ric will do his job . he will do what is necessary -- he will prosecute carly to the full extent of the law . john : well , he 'd better . because i 'm not about to leave carly and michael 's fate to the not - so - tender mercies of an ambitious a.d.a . looking to make a conviction on a high - profile case . consider this fair warning . if ric does not prosecute here , if he steps down , i will do whatever i can to protect my family , up to and including giving full disclosure of our little relationship here , the legal definition of which is `` obstruction of justice . `` you can be disbarred , maybe even convicted . alexis : i already hate being in collusion with you . do n't make it worse by making arbitrary threats . it makes me ill to think of michael taking the stand against his own mother , and the only reason that i 'm being a party to it is because i know it wo n't happen . i know that sonny will step up and he will confess to a.j . 's murder . john : well , that 's the plan . alexis : he will do whatever it takes to protect his son . i know the feeling because that 's what i 'm doing in dealing with you . i am going against every single principle that i have for the one thing that matters to me , which is my daughter 's safety . and in order to ensure that , i would make a deal with the devil himself . [ scene_break ] jason : carly ! this has to stop . you ca n't go around attacking people left and right . carly : ric deserved every word and more . jason : that 's not the point , what ric deserved . you ever listen to yourself ? you practically came right out and admitted that you killed a.j . if you do n't wake up now , you 're going to wake up one morning in pentonville locked away from michael for good . carly : that bastard . ric is really serious . he 's going to -- he 's going to haul michael into court . jason : do you see now why i did n't want alcazar pulling strings to get your bail set ? it made ric look bad . he 's angry . he 's got more to prove so he 's going to attack the place that you 're most vulnerable , and that 's michael . and instead of letting sonny just try to negotiate with ric , you 're yelling at him , you 're calling him names , you 're making everything worse ! carly : what am i supposed to do ? just let ric and alexis take advantage of my son ? wait for sonny to fix everything , if he can manage to pull himself away from the fed in his bed ? jason : hey , listen , if you 're too jealous or too mad at sonny , listen to me . you 're in serious trouble right now , carly , and i 'm doing everything that i can to get you out of it , but you ca n't keep fighting me every step of the way . carly : ok . jason : i do n't know what happened . i mean , you used to trust me with your life . can you do that now ? carly : only if you can trust me . [ scene_break ] reese : do you remember going into a.j . 's room that night ? ok , why do n't you tell me what you do remember ? michael : i was crouching behind a.j .

[ scene_break ] ric : i have no desire to hurt michael , but he 's a material witness in a murder case . his testimony is crucial . sonny : michael 's a child who 's been kidnapped twice by maniacs -- first faith , then a.j . he 's been lied to . he does n't know what 's a lie , what 's the truth , what 's a dream . and you ca n't expect him to . ric : ok , carly 's attorney can take up all of these issues at her trial . but in the meantime , the subpoena has been delivered . michael has to testify . sonny : is carly right about you and alexis ? you 're manipulating michael ? you 're using michael , right , to manipulate -- ric : i do n't use children as bargaining chips , sonny , all right ? i do believe , yes , absolutely , 100 % , that kristina and alexis belong together . but whether you choose to do the right thing and return her or not makes no difference here . michael is still going to have to testify . the only thing that 's going to change that is if carly decides to confess . sonny : it was n't enough to kidnap carly when she was pregnant and chain her to a wall ? ric : oh -- sonny : huh ? huh ? ric : i 'm not out to hurt carly . a.j . kidnapped her children . he faked michael 's death , sonny , and left him lost inside of his own mind . i understand she was under emotional duress here . and i 'm willing to plead her out to a lesser charge , maybe manslaughter . ten years , she 'll be out in five . sonny , that 's got to be a preferable solution to putting michael up on the stand in front of the jury so that he could tell everybody that he saw his mother kill his biological father .

[ scene_break ] luke : helena wants money , we give her money . that 's how it works . tracy : i do n't have 15 million in cash , luke . that money was wire - transferred into my account by you , thank you very much . it 's not like i can just float right into a bank with a check made out to cash for 15 million . it is going to take days to convert those funds . do you think helena 's going to give us days ? luke : i doubt we have more than an hour . tracy : here 's my reality , luke . for some peculiar reason i wo n't pretend to understand , i still need my family . now , i know that they are card - carrying lunatics , but they are my card - carrying lunatics , and i still need to be connected to them . i need to know that i can show up on that doorstep anytime , no matter what . are you with me ? luke : riveted . tracy : if i have any part in alan and monica 's precious daughter getting killed , i wo n't be able to show up on that doorstep ever again . i will be exiled for life , and that thought does n't appeal to me . and i do n't particularly want emily killed . she 's harmless . annoying , maybe , but if annoying was a reason to die , then there 'd be nobody left on the planet . you need to come up with a plan . luke : we 'll borrow the money tracy : wow ! that 's brilliant . who do we know with 15 million in cash , huh ? skye : i can answer that . luke : oh , him again . skye : be nice . i 've explained our situation to lorenzo , and he has the cash on hand and has been kind enough to offer us a loan . luke : well , that 's generous to a fault . did he mention the catch ? lorenzo : you 'll have to call the police and let them in on what you 're doing . luke : oh , forget it . i do n't deal with no cops . lorenzo : well , then i 'll call them -- the way i should have the day you broke faith rosco out of prison . people i love are still paying for that mistake , and i wo n't be complicit in another one .

[ scene_break ] sonny : carly did n't kill a.j . she 's not going to be making any plea bargains or -- she 's not going to be confessing to anything . ric : well , then you know what has to happen . sonny : you 're going to go through with it , ric ? you 're going to put a terrorized little boy who you claim is your nephew on the stand to testify against his own mother , knowing how much pain he 's going through ? you look down on me because of what i do for a living . what do you see when you look in the mirror ? ric : i offer you a way out , and you refuse to take it . you know what ? any pain that michael feels from here on out -- that 's on your head . reese : no matter what happens , michael can not testify . sonny : why are you stating the obvious ? did he tell you something ? carly : i saw a light in michael 's room . is he awake ? reese : yes . carly : i 'm going to go up there . reese : carly -- carly : ok , do n't even think about telling me what to do . reese : i realize this is difficult for you , but michael is really under so much stress right now . if you could just be a little patient -- carly : ok , stop telling me how to deal with my son . you 're not a psychiatrist . you 're a fed who 's taking advantage of the agony that michael -- sonny : carly , enough . now . carly : sonny , open your eyes . how do you think ric found out that michael saw me in a.j .

you know , you and i have both been with alexis and both of us got her pregnant . sonny : keep going , ric . ric : but you -- you were with both sam and alexis , and you got both of them pregnant , as well . sonny : yeah . ric : wow . you 're right , that 's much worse . but , you know , look at it this way -- i mean , in retrospect , for you it 's all on the plus side . i mean , your relationships with both of those women are effectively over . i 'm still married to alexis and i have a grown stepdaughter who hates my guts . sonny : you know , do n't dwell on it , ric . it 's going to be -- ric : so -- wait a minute , so let me try and get this straight . so sam is a cassadine . she 's -- she 's kristina 's half sister . she -- and the baby that sam lost -- your baby -- would 've been molly and kristina 's niece . can you imaging what thanksgiving would 've been like ? do n't -- no , it 's ok , do n't -- do n't answer that . how long has sam known ? sonny : well , she got suspicious around the time her brother died . ric : mm - hmm . well , that would 've made sense . i mean , the animosity that she felt towards alexis -- she probably felt that alexis -- she was angry with her for giving her up , but it was n't alexis ' fault . i ca n't imagine the two of them ever really bonding , sonny . can you ? sonny : well , you know what ? might be too late . doctor says sam is getting weaker . she may die . jason : i 'll pay whatever you want . just keep giving sam the transfusions until her blood starts to clot . alexis : i agree . kelly : we ca n't keep giving sam transfusions indefinitely . she continues to weaken . alexis : just give her one more . jason : please . alexis : give her one more . if that does n't work , we 'll think of something else . alexis : she 's so pale . jason : she 's a lot stronger than she seems . you know , she 's been fighting all her life . when i was sick , she fought for me . i just wanted to give up , but she was relentless , she kept me alive . now it 's my turn to fight for her . alexis : sam believes that you 're the best thing that ever happened to her . in this moment right now , i understand why . alexis : kristina was weak just like this before her stem cell transfusion . i think it 's the body 's way of conserving energy until -- jason : we should n't talk about kristina . alexis : i gave her up because i had to , not because i did n't love her . monica : oh , jason -- jason : yeah ? monica : excuse me . alan would like to talk to you . jason : ok . hey . alan : hey . this is not about sam , it 's about her transfusions . you know that sam has a very rare blood type , and she 's using much more blood than we anticipated . jason : i already told dr . lee i 'll pay whatever it costs . alan : jason , it 's not about the money . it 's the fact that we 're running short on sam 's blood type . alexis : what ? wait a -- wait a minute . you 're denying a patient essential care that she can pay for ? alan : i am just doing my job -- alexis : no , this is -- nothing you can say -- dr . quartermaine , listen to me . if you deny my daughter a transfusion now or any time -- alan : sam 's your daughter ? alexis : i will sue this hospital -- emily : ok , everyone , stop ! listen , i have an idea to help sam . elizabeth : ok , it 's a little complicated , but this is what 's going on . your father had a $ 50,000 bounty on his head in the markham islands , so robert came back to port charles to extradite luke . but before luke could manage , he went back to the markham islands to rescue holly . and now holly and robert and luke are lost someplace in a jungle in the markham islands with a $ 500,000 bounty on their heads . lucky : and my sister went to rescue him ? elizabeth : oh , she 's the one who organized the whole rescue after she and dillon found the notice on the internet . lucky : why did n't she touch base with me first ? elizabeth : because she does n't want to make you worry . lucky : if my dad is in trouble , it should be me dealing with it , not my kid sister . elizabeth : but she 's not by herself . she has patrick and robin and dillon . lucky : two doctors and a film student ? a lot of good that 's going to do lulu when she runs into special agents or bounty hunters or whatever nut cases that are after that money . elizabeth : you know what ? your sister is looking for your father . at some point , she is going to find him , and you know lulu 's more than capable of protecting -- lucky : you know what ? my dad is too busy reliving his glory days to protect anyone , all right ? lulu 's nothing but a kid , dillon is green as corn , and robin has no survival skills , and patrick -- patrick -- what -- what is he even doing with them ? i mean , why is he trying to play hero all of a sudden ? who 's he trying to impress ? [ phone rings ] elizabeth : hello ? emily : elizabeth . hi . listen , sam needs plasma right away , and i know you 're o - negative . elizabeth : yeah , i 'll come down and give blood . emily : i know this is lucky 's first night home . elizabeth : it 's ok . it 's an emergency . lucas : so the good news is i 'm supposed to go to a prom , and the bad news is i 'm going to be a chaperone . maxie : how did that happen ? lucas : well , the teachers call the alums back every year to help out . maxie : are you going to take a date ? lucas : well , if i do , it 'll be a boutonniere and not a corsage . maxie : how do you think your mom 's going to feel about that ? lucas : well , ever since my dad died , she 's been -- she 's been a lot more accepting that i 'm gay . i think his attitude really helped . maxie : you really miss him a lot , huh ? lucas : yeah , all the time . maxie : it 's weird , you know , how , like , nothing really changes . i mean , on the one hand , there 's , like , this huge empty space where the person you loved should be , but -- i do n't know , do you ever get mad that your father died ? lucas : sometimes . it 's just so unfair . maxie : that 's how i feel about jesse . i feel like he was cheated out of life , and i was cheated out of the time we should 've had together . i just -- i really want someone , somewhere , to pay . alexis : i 'm glad you 're here . it has to do with sam . nikolas : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm glad to help , but why are you -- alexis : nikolas , i 'm just going to blurt it out because there 's really no point in being delicate and i just do n't have the time . you know that little girl that i told you that i gave up for adoption and i told you she di in a car accident ? nikolas : yes . alexis : she did n't , it 's sam . there . nikolas : what ? [ alexis sighs ] nikolas : what -- what , you 're telling me that sam mccall is your -- is your daughter , the daughter that mikkos told you was dead ? alexis : yeah . sam and jason just told me . well , they figured it out a few months ago and they just told me . nikolas : they -- well , if they -- if they would 've just told you sooner -- i mean , alexis , she 's -- alexis : i do n't have time to deal with anything right now . i just have to focus , focus on her right now because she 's critically ill . nikolas : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry , come here . we 'll figure it out . [ music plays ] georgie : here you go , sir . man : this -- this burger 's well - done . i -- i ordered rare . georgie : you did ? man : i 'll need an ax to cut that . georgie : i -- i 'm sorry . um -- i 'll take it back , i 'll get you another one . man : you know , you have n't gotten one thing right since i sat down here , and if you think i 'm paying for that meal , you are sorely mistaken . diego : excuse me . is there -- is there a problem here ? because , if you want , i can help you cut something . mike : excuse me , excuse me . what 's -- what 's going on here ? diego : well , i think this guy 's trying to stiff you , mike . mike : uh -- look , the gentleman has n't even touched his dinner . sir , how can we make this right ? i would like -- what -- what was that all about ? georgie : it 's my fault , mike . i 'm sorry . i -- i messed up his order . i 've been messing up all day . mike : all right , honey , if you need to take a break , take one , and you -- take it easy . we ca n't afford to be running customers off here , all right ? diego : hey , i was just trying to help . singer : just the two of us against the world georgie : i 'm sorry i got you in trouble . diego : listen , can you tell me what 's going on ? georgie : dillon left me . luke : lulu , why are you not in port charles studying geometry ? lulu : this is a rescue . ca n't you tell ? luke : do i look like i need to be rescued ? dillon : this is all over the internet . luke : oh , yeah . well , the place is more high tech than i expected . this is also splattered all over the island . lulu : well , you 're in danger , dad . luke : that 's why we 're hiding out , cupcake . holly : i ca n't believe the bounty is only $ 500,000 . robert : when you consider the state of the dollar , it is kind of outrageous . luke : yeah , we 're worth at least three times that . patrick : can i ask you something ? robin : will you guys listen to yourselves ? people are gunning for you . you 're in a strange place with no money , no resources , nobody to help you . lulu : yeah , yeah , and you 're not as young as you used to be . robert : hey , hey -- i 'm as sharp as ever , thank you very much . luke : i 'm sharper . robert : we got ourselves out of jail . we -- we did n't get into any trouble . luke : that 's right , and we 've got our escape planned . robert : right . luke : have n't we , holly ? dillon : whoa , ok -- robert : holly ? luke : all right , the party 's over . three may be a crowd , but seven is an ugly mob ! robert : look , we appreciate the concern , we really do , but everything 's fine . luke : that 's right . now , when waldo gets here , you 're all going to get on the plane , you 're going to fly to the airport and take the first flight back to the states , where you will tell everybody you did n't find us . robert : tell them we 're dead . robin : oh , that is yo specialty , is n't it ? luke : tell them whatever you want . but you 've got to get the hell out of here -- before you get hurt or before we get caught . emily : sonny , sam needs your help . i 'm sorry to interrupt . sonny : no -- hey , you know what ? i told him about sam and alexis . emily : sonny , alexis is with sam now . sam 's getting weaker . she needs more transfusions , but the hospital is running out of her blood type . ric : ok , i need to get to alexis . emily : hey , your blood type is o - negative -- that means that you 're a universal donor . sonny : i 'll give sam blood , i 'll do whatever i have to do -- pay for -- can we pay for anything or not ? emily : sam 's already had more than her share of the available supply , and since the doctors already think she 's terminal -- sonny : they think the transfusions are a waste of time ? emily : mm - hmm . sonny : does jason -- does jason know this ? emily : yeah . i was there when -- when my father told him . sonny : what if your father 's wrong ? what if she can get through this ? or even if -- if he 's right and she does n't get through it , jason and alexis need to know that they did everything they could to save her . monica : so at least we 're able to continue sam 's transfusions -- at least short - term . jason : oh , thank you . monica : no , do n't thank me , thank emily . she 's the one that came up with the idea for the blood drive . take care . jason : thanks . nikolas : so it turns out that my blood is a perfect match to sam 's , but i guess that does n't surprise you , does it ? jason : thank you for helping her . nikolas : i did it for alexis . she needs to know that she did everything she could . jason : sam 's still alive , nobody 's giving up . nikolas : well , sam and alexis could 've been enjoying each other these past few months , but i 'm going to go ahead and guess that you pressured her into keeping silent . your dislike for alexis -- or whatever it is -- may have cost her and sam the only chance theyad to spend time together as mother and daughter . laundry 's not new . jason : actually , sam made her own choice . nikolas : well , that 's called passive - aggressive . see , you may not have said anything directly to her , but i 'm sure you made it very clear to sam that you expected her to keep the secret . and she did , and sam never got a chance to have a relationship with her mother , and now she 's dying from a bullet that i 'm sure was meant for you . hold on one second . what is it with you ? you do n't get to be with your family , so no one else can , either ? you took -- you took michael from a.j . , you kept sam from alexis . are you that selfish or is it about control for you ? you get to decide what 's best for everyone based on what 's best for you ? jason : thanks for the blood . nikolas : i suppose you heard all that , hmm ? you think i 'm wrong ? maxie : no , i think you 're angry -- just not at jason . alexis : you once asked me if i ever thought about the daughter that i gave up . if i remembered her birthdays or wondered how she turned out . after i left the clinic , i went back to school and there was this little brown church right next door and i would -- i would go there every day and i would sit there for what felt like hours , trying to imagine the life that i -- i wanted for her , and then i 'd try to wish it so . i imagined first steps , first words , first birthdays , the sweet 16s . they surrounded her in love . and she was self- confident and she was happy . and as soon as i was satisfied that i had created a life for her that was better than the one that i could 've given her -- better than the one that i had -- i stopped going . and i went back to school and i studied and i studied and i busied myself so much that i would n't have to think about my feelings at all . i did n't want to feel anything at all . and i did n't feel anything for a long time . it took me a long time to believe that i could be a good mother . and i know that i do n't have the right to ask anything of you . but if you could just open your eyes , you will see the face of a woman who knows how to do that now . if you will just wake up , i promise to try to be the mother that i could n't be then . [ music plays ] georgie : dillon wants glamour , dillon wants excitement , and he 's not getting it . he is living above kelly 's with his wife . he -- he wants to be the hero that rushes off on this big adventure . he did n't even invite me . diego : what , did he just run out on you ? georgie : it 's not like i could 've gone . i have to go to classes if i expt to graduate in june , and prom . he -- he completely forgot about prom . he 's not going to be back in time -- it 's may 22 . you know what ? what 's prom when youan , you know , go rush off in the jungle with lulu ? diego : has he called you ? georgie : no . of course not . luke would n't do that , and that 's dillon 's hero . who cares who gets left behind ? i worked so hard for those tickets . i worked three extra shifts -- diego : well , then go . i mean , take one of your friends . i know -- people do that . just go ! georgie : diego , prom is the biggest date of the year . the last thing you want to do is take your married - but - dateless friend . diego : look , if you ask me , forget dillon , ok ? the prom is too important to you . i do n't think you should miss it , ok ? think about it . georgie : will you go with me ? singer : i think i 'm in the moment just the two of us robin : we came all this way to save your sorry butts and you 're throwing us out ? robert : we are trying to protect you . luke : right . do n't you have patients to take care of ? and you -- should n't you be operating on somebody ? robin : oh , he 's operating , all right . robert : look , we -- we do appreciate the concern , but do n't you have a transplant or two you need to perform ? and should n't you be doing something worthwhile other than wasting your time with somebody like me ? luke : and , young spielberg , do n't you have a film career to worry about , and what about your wife ? i 'll bet she 's wondering where the hell you are . and my daughter should be doing homework . robert : see ? everything 's fine , you do n't need to worry about us . luke : so , have a nice flight back , and with any luck , you wo n't get `` three caballeros `` as your in - flight movie . lulu : you know what ? you are so right . what was i thinking ? i am -- i am luke spencer 's daughter . i am not supposed to care if you disappear on me , especially considering that is the only part of our relationship that i can depend on . i 'm -- i 'm not supposed to care if something horrible happens to you . i 'm not supposed to worry or get upset , i 'm supposed to be cool . so what if you 're stranded in a jungle with some heartless con woman or if bounty hunters are coming after you or if your so - called best friend 's trying to turn you in for 50 grand ? i am supposed to fly home and not give a damn ? well , guess what -- i give a damn . you are my father , and the only father that i have , ok , and i do n't care if i cramp your style . i love you , so get over it . robin : what she said . alexis : you know ? ric : i 'm so sorry . after everything we did to try to search for your daughter , she was right here all along . alexis : you know , that death certificate was a huge red flag that my father wanted me to find so that i would -- i 'd give up the search -- just like i gave up my baby . ric : ok , we do n't need to start thinking that way . do n't punish yourself for something you could n't change or control . alexis : why would he do something like that ? how could one lonely , abandoned child possibly hurt the cassadines ? ric : you did n't abandon sam . alexis : it sure feels that way . do you know that we 've had one conversation as mother and daughter ? i sure hope that it 's not the last . sonny : i 'm here to help . kelly : we 're monitoring sam closely . when her pressure falls below 80/40 , it 's time for another transfusion . elizabeth : are they helping ? kelly : they 're a stop - gap measure . sam is getting weaker . elizabeth : is there anything i can do to help ? kelly : if the family asks about sam 's prognosis , be honest . you do n't have to tell them that she 's dying , but do n't offer false hope . elizabeth : ok . kelly : ok . jason : hey . elizabeth : hey . jason : you 're on duty tonight ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , i came in to give blood and i decided to stay . i figured it might help if someone familiar was assigned to sam . jason : yeah , it does . thanks for doing that . nikolas : i do n't know exactly how alexis feels , but i can guess . i thought i was going to be john 's father , and then suddenly i wasn't . i believe that that emptiness where a child goes -- i do n't think that ever goes away . maxie : well , i 'm really sorry . i know how much you wanted john . nikolas : yeah , i did , more than i realized at first . and you 're right -- on some level , i am still angry at the situation . but there 's nothing i can do about it . maxie : well , you can always talk to me . nikolas : i just -- i think i just need to accept that that 's how life works . we all lose people we love , do n't we ? excuse me . hey , i -- i got your message . alexis beat you to it . i was a match and gave blood . emily : thank you , nikolas . i wish we could do more . nikolas : yeah . so , how is sam ? emily : uh -- she 's getting weaker . i 'm worried about jason . nikolas : is he still angry at you for being with sonny ? emily : you know , that whole argument seems so petty and pointless right now . nikolas : in other words , you refuse to hold a grudge in the face of tragedy . you always were like that . i 'm glad to see at least that has n't changed . lulu : i 'm sorry i dragged you into this . dillon : you did n't exactly drag me . i mean , look , flying halfway across the world to save your father -- that 's , like , really cool and courageous , even if luke is too much of a raging jackass to realize it . i got to be honest with you -- you rock . you really do , and i mean that . but what 's more than that , i think , is you matter . lulu : thanks . dillon : oh , yeah , i think -- lulu : thank you . lucky : hey , thanks for coming over . det . rodriguez : nice to see you up and around . what do you need ? lucky : i need you to do me a favor . i do n't want nobody knowing about this . i ca n't believe i 'm even going to say this , but i think -- i think my wife is having an affair . det . rodriguez : are you sure ? i mean , i know a lot of cops that have that problem , but elizabeth ? lucky : listen , i know it 's the doctor . it 's patrick drake . he 's all over her at the hospital . i -- i see them out in the hallways laughing and whispering . i -- they 've even left the hospital more than once . all right , elizabeth -- she 's been lying about where she 's going at night . i found a note in her purse from him about a meeting place . det . rodriguez : i 'm sorry , lucky . lucky : i need proof . i want you to follow elizabeth . i want you to just tell me where she goes , who she sees . drake -- he 's out of town , but you can go and you can check out this address . det . rodriguez : you sure you want to know what i find out ?

[ scene_break ] jerry : we 're going on a business trip today , remember ? nikolas : as i said last night , she 's not going anywhere with you . jerry : well , that 's certainly her choice . but you wo n't get the counteragent , and you most certainly will `` kick the bucket , `` as they say . nikolas : you 're bluffing -- again -- just another way to keep us under control . jerry : do you know what ? i ca n't decide whether you 're arrogant or obtuse , perhaps a little bit of both -- who knows ? because even a lab rat would understand by now -- if you choose door number one , you get zapped . if you choose door number one again -- it defies reason . nikolas : you could 've left last night , but you did n't . so that tells me that you need something badly here in port charles . you took quite a risk coming to the hospital . it would 've been much safer for you just to let me die , do n't you think ? jerry : you 're making this far too complicated . nikolas : which means i 'm probably right . you do n't have to go with him . jerry : well , then door number one it is -- the pain and suffering starts at sundown . nikolas : i 'll go through it every day if it keeps you away from her . jerry : but it does n't -- that 's my point . she keeps running back to you like the loyal little spitfire that she is . there 's no getting rid of her . emily : you love this , do n't you ? torturing nikolas and making me watch ? jerry : well , watching is your choice -- at least for the moment . emily : someday i want you to feel what i did last night , what i felt at the metro court when my father was dying , when nikolas desperately needed my help and there was nothing that i could do for him . that 's what i wish for you -- to stand by helpless when somebody you love desperately needs your help ! [ scene_break ] jax : well , good morning , you two . michael : morning ! carly : wow ! wow . what happened to `` knock before you enter `` ? does that sound familiar ? does that ring a bell , huh ? michael : no , no , it does n't . we missed you . carly : we missed you , too -- that 's why we came back early . but you have to knock first , wait for us to say it 's okay , and then come in . michael : okay . carly : okay . jax : i guess you two have n't been downstairs this morning . michael : no . why ? jax : so you have n't seen the big , black suitcase that 's full of presents ? michael : presents ? have to go ! jax : yep . carly : all right , we 'll be down in a little while ! [ scene_break ] michael : okay , okay . come out , come out . okay , now , we can not tell jax that jerry was here , okay ? we made a promise . okay , now , come on . [ scene_break ] jax : works every time . carly : you do realize you only bought us a little bit of time ? jax : well , then let 's not waste any . [ carly giggles ] [ carly squeals ] [ scene_break ] coop : you all right ? what 's the emergency ? maxie : it 's a caffeine emergency , and that 's the worst kind . coop : it does n't look good for a new cadet to be hanging out here . maxie : what , do you think someone 's going to think you 're working for sonny ? please . anyway , this is the best cappuccino in town . coop : i probably should n't be seen with the police commissioner 's daughter , either . maxie : mac does n't care if we have a cup of coffee together . he just does n't need to know that we 're sleeping together . logan : hey , come on , get a room . maxie : go away ! logan : is sonny around ? maxie : why ? are you going to ask him to give you a job again ? why do n't you give up before you embarrass yourself ? [ scene_break ] jason : i ca n't keep visiting the nursery all the time , but i do need to know that the baby is okay . spinelli : right . okay , your baby , the small stone cold one , is in excellent health , and you can check on him anytime you want . behold . jason : you hacked into the hospital security camera . spinelli : yeah ! nothing is beyond the power of the jackal , especially when it comes to reuniting you with your progeny . jason : could -- could you stop calling him that , please ? spinelli : come on , man , just , like , see for yourself . he 's an icon among babies . oh -- and note that the jackal controls the zoom on the camera , so you can see this small stone cold one in close - up . jason : he -- he does look good , does n't he ? spinelli : yeah . um -- but a security camera does n't compare to being the father in real space and time . the small stone cold one is going to need you if he loses his mom . you 'll have to come forward as the real father . [ scene_break ] lucky : is there any change ? kelly : elizabeth 's blood pressure remains dangerously low , and she 's unresponsive to medication . lucky : there 's got to be something else we can do . kelly : no one 's giving up . we 're doing everything possible .

[ scene_break ] carly : ca n't say i did n't warn you . there 's a big difference between hanging out with the kids and living in the same house with them . jax : we 'll just have to remember to lock the door next time . carly : that is only going to go so far . jax : i can be very adventurous . carly : oh , i ca n't wait . jax : yeah . have you heard from lulu at all ? carly : no , so i 'm hoping that means good news about elizabeth . but lulu was really upset yesterday . jax : well , i 'm sure she 'll call if there 's any change . in the meantime , we 've got two present - crazed kids downstairs , so we better make our way down . carly : do you realize what you 're getting into ? jax : i do . yeah . carly : no second - thoughts ? jax : second - thoughts ? well , for your sake , i hope not .

[ nikolas coughs ] nikolas : yeah . alexis : although , i know that 's not why you asked me here . what is -- what is going on ? is there something wrong with your health ? because you do n't look like you feel well , and i know that you have n't felt well for weeks . nikolas : no , it 's just that i just ca n't seem to get rid of the flu , that 's all . alexis : okay , have you seen a doctor ? nikolas : yes -- patrick and robin are taking care of -- look , i 'd rather not get into details right now , if that 's all right . alexis : okay . all right , i 'll drop the subject . nikolas : thank you . alexis : i 'm just going to tell you that i have 9 - 1 - 1 on speed dial , should you need it . what 's up ? what 's up , nikolas ? nikolas : i 'd like to -- i 'd like to discuss some details in my will . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , so i 've cleared my schedule , we have a lab for the rest of the day . patrick : the idea of spending the rest of the day with you -- even if it is in the lab surrounded by overworked techs -- i 'll take it . robin : we have to stay focused on work . nikolas can not survive another episode like last night . he 's running out of time . [ scene_break ] ric : i heard elizabeth was in i.c.u . lucky : i 'll tell her you stopped by . ric : i was -- i was in the other case , lucky . the nurse said that she was unconscious ? lucky : elizabeth was at home , alone , and she started to bleed . she passed out on the floor . if jason had n't shown up and found her -- ric : jason went to your house ? lucky : he went to check up on elizabeth -- the power was out . ric : that was fortuitous . lucky : i know you have a grudge against jason , but he saved elizabeth and our baby . that should mean something to you . ric : elizabeth and i lost a child . it 's a bond we 'll always have . i 'd like to talk to her , just tell her that there are a lot of people pulling for her . lucky : do n't stay too long . i 'm going to go see my son . [ scene_break ] jason : elizabeth will make it through this . spinelli : elizabeth is not responding to the meds , okay , there 's nothing else they can do . you need to be with your son right now -- holding him while he plays with your hand with his little fingers . you need to be looking down -- jason : it 's -- it 's not that simple , spinelli . spinelli : now is your chance . tell the truth . look , if elizabeth wakes up , no one will blame her . they 'll just be happy she 's alive . [ scene_break ] logan : so how 's cop school ? coop : it 's a lot more than books . we 're doing ride - alongs today . actually -- i 've got to get going . maxie : have fun . logan : that was fast . maxie : well , it 's called being responsible and having a job where you actually show up and do well . logan : do n't worry about my job . maxie : hey , why do n't you run along to sonny 's door and ask him for a job again ? logan : look , maybe cooper takes orders from you , but i do n't . [ maxie scoffs ] logan : hey , lulu , how 's it going ? lulu : great , thanks . maxie : she 's interested . logan : yeah . [ scene_break ] lulu : jason , no matter what has happened , you can not tell anybody that you 're the baby 's father . [ scene_break ] alexis : i want you to note my professional detachment . never mind that you look like you should be at a hospital , and you are seeing a neurosurgeon and a neuropathologist . and now you want your will updated ? nikolas : it 's because of lucky 's baby . alexis : lucky 's baby is a day old . [ nikolas sighs ] nikolas : i want to make provisions as i have for kristina , molly , and cameron , and i would also like to make sure that my appointment of emily as spencer 's guardian is airtight and unbreakable . alexis : you never really broke up with emily at all , did you ? and now she knows that you 're probably dying . [ scene_break ] emily : all right . i 'm ready to go to this business meeting . jerry : well , that 's good . you 're a smart and loyal girl . emily : people are going to be wondering why i ducked out of work , especially with elizabeth in such bad shape , so we 're going to have to make this fast -- and i do n't want nikolas to ever find out . [ scene_break ] ric : this is n't fair . you know , there are a lot of people who love you and who have been waiting for this baby . you touch so many lives . and i tried to get you back -- more than once . i planted drugs in lucky 's desk . i wanted to destroy all of your faith in him so that i would have another chance . but faith won out . and believe it or not , i 'm glad , because that 's what you 've given me . i mean , it 's more than just still being in love with you . it 's that faith that you had in me and now you have in lucky . i mean , just knowing that that kind of faith exists in the world -- ric : you know , you and molly are truly the only good people i 've ever let myself get close to . so you got to hang on . because i still need to believe that real love , that true faith is still possible . i promise you i 'll never try to hurt lucky again because i know that you love him . that 's all i want for you , elizabeth , is for you to be happy -- with lucky and cameron . [ scene_break ] lulu : look , i -- i just saw lucky , and he is being so brave and strong , he 's going to make a wonderful father . spinelli : yeah , okay , but stone cold is the real father , so -- lulu : well , it 's too late now ; jason 's already made his choice . spinelli : yeah , the deal was with elizabeth -- lulu : so where does that leave my brother , spinelli ? spinelli : come on , you ca n't expect stone cold to sit around and watch another man raise his child . jason : stop it -- both of you . i 'm sorry i got you involved in this . lulu : jason , i have done everything your way , and now i 'm asking you for the same respect and that you keep your word . jason : i need to talk to lulu alone . spinelli : okay . but just do n't be blinded by her magnificence , okay ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : you pushed emily away , right ? to protect her . that 's what this out - of- nowhere breakup is about ? nikolas : yes . alexis : and this romance that you have with robin is a cover - up , right ? because she 's your doctor ? nikolas : yes . alexis : and emily figured it out ? am i right ? nikolas : ahem -- she does have a special understanding of the situation , yes . alexis : okay , nikolas , if polite but oblique is the way you 're going to play this , then there 's really not much i can do about that . except tell you that if you are sick , if there is something wrong with you , you ought to take that really seriously . and you let the people who care about you help you , nikolas , and you be grateful for it . nikolas : i am . more than you know . [ scene_break ] jerry : thank you . man : i understand that you wish to establish an account . jerry : that 's right . it will need to accommodate a great deal of money very soon . and i wish to put it in my fiancée -- my lovely fiancée 's name , emily quartermaine .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i will be back in a little while , after i check on your mommy , and we will go home together real soon . lucky : hey . what are you doing here ? spinelli : uh -- your -- your sister -- you know , the fair and perfect lulu ? the undisputed queen and ruler of my heart wanted to know the condition of the little sto -- lucky : the little what ? the -- you know , the little styling dude . he reigns supreme among infants . sure does . lucky : tell lulu her nephew is fine . spinelli : okay . consider it done . spinelli : hey . greetings , innocent one . whoa . welcome to the physical realm . epiphany : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? spinelli : uh -- [ baby coos ] [ scene_break ] jason : lulu , i do n't want to hurt lucky . i do n't . but i got to think like a father . lulu : huh . okay , well , i should have trusted my first instinct and told lucky everything from the beginning , but i did n't . i trusted you . jason : elizabeth is still alive , and that 's what i need to focus on . lulu : yes , yes , yes . and i want to believe that she 's going to live , too . but if she does n't , we have a problem . i need you to promise me that if that happens , you 're going to let lucky keep the baby . please , jason , my brother 's entire life is revolving around this . you have gone way too far to just take it back now ! jason : all i can think about is if my son has to grow up without a mother . [ scene_break ] maxie : lulu seemed really impressed with you . i 'm almost sure she wanted to glance in your direction when she flew by . logan : if you 're so into coop -- no , if you 're so into coop , why do you even care about me and lulu ? maxie : what is it about her , logan ? she does n't even like you . her life 's a mess . she 's so desperate for attention she drags those three losers all across town . her dad could care less about her , and her mom is a vegetable . logan : laura . maxie : you act like you know her . logan : who can help it in this town ? everybody 's heard the -- you know , the stories about luke and laura . maxie : but why do you care ?

[ jason sighs ] ric : she seemed pretty upset . so i got to wonder -- what would you and lulu have in common , other than the computer geek , spinelli ? this must have something to do with elizabeth . [ scene_break ] jax : so where do you see me fitting into this family ? it seems a little complicated to me . michael : uh -- well , i 'll always want my parents to get back together , and that 'll probably never change . but do n't -- do n't take it personally . jax : well , if my parents had split up , i 'd probably want them to get back together , too . michael : yeah -- um -- my parents are messed up . they really try . and they love me and morgan . but all -- for all the other stuff -- yeah , you get used to it . jax : well , it 's good to know . michael : yeah . jax : all right , go pick up that bat . i 'm going to show you the -- michael : you know , you 're way cooler than any of my friends ' stepdads . jax : really ? well , thanks a lot . michael : you know , morgan likes you a lot , too . and it 'll be really weird having you here all the time . jax : yeah , i know . this marriage is going to be a big adjustment for all of us . michael : it will , but i 'll help morgan . and , hey , the big brother 's supposed to help the little brother . like jerry said . jax : when did you talk to jerry ? [ scene_break ] man : a transfer of this size will invite international scrutiny . jerry : oh , we have nothing to hide , do we , my dear ? all you have to do is sign . man : i 'm obligated to inform you , ms. quartermaine , that once you sign , you 'll bear full legal responsibility for all transactions . do you understand ? emily : i do now , yes . [ phone rings ] man : excuse me . hello ? yes , i 'll be there . jerry : of course . emily : nikolas is right . you 're setting me up . jerry : i 'm giving you the opportunity of avoiding a repeat of last night . emily : this transfer is n't legal , is it ? which gives you a hold on me . jerry : if you do n't want to sign , by all means , do n't . i 'm sure nikolas would understand , with the few hours he has left to live . or maybe i could change my mind and give him the counteragent , anyway . it 's all about risk assessment . and i 'm leaving it entirely up to you .

[ scene_break ] logan : so what 's the drill ? we ignore coop because he 's on duty ? maxie : he 's working . is n't that what you 're supposed to be doing ? or do you just like to wear the uniform ? logan : that 's cute . maxie : so do you think lulu even saw you when she bolted out of here without saying goodbye ? logan : i do n't know . she seemed to be upset about something . i wonder what 's bothering her . [ scene_break ] lucky : how 's she doing ? kelly : if she does n't improve very soon , i 'm afraid she wo n't wake up . lucky : well , you do n't know elizabeth . kelly : elizabeth 's a good friend . i know how much she loves you and this baby . i was there through all of it , lucky . i know how hard she 's fighting to be with you now . so let 's go over the test results , consider the options , and decide what to do next .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : the baby needs my brother . jason made his choice . he needs to stick to it . spinelli : look , it 'd tear my heart -- it tears my heart apart to say this , but i disagree most strongly . lulu : i do n't care . spinelli : it 's our first fight . lulu : spinelli , you 're missing the point . spinelli : no , i 'm -- i 'm going to carry this day in my heart forever . lulu : okay . you 're still wrong . spinelli : yeah , i -- i was wrong -- i was wrong to convince you to keep this terrible secret when your pure and perfect heart wanted to tell the world . but i am not -- look , please , i 'm not wrong now . this is -- it 's jason 's baby , okay ? and despite what happened up to this point , and especially if elizabeth dies , that baby needs his real dad . lulu : huh . [ scene_break ] ric : i visited elizabeth at the hospital today . i understand that you saved her life . i 'm grateful , of course , but i have to wonder -- what were you doing stopping by her house to check on her ? coincidence ? yeah . yeah , there 's been a lot of those , now that i think of it . what are you doing hanging around lucky 's wife ? [ scene_break ] michael : well -- well , jerry came by to say hi to lady jane . jax : really ? michael : yeah . jax : did she seem happy to see him ? michael : yeah . he was really fun . we had a lot of fun . and he was telling us stories about when you were kids . jax : oh , wow . i 'm surprised he came back after the wedding . michael : well , we were n't really supposed to tell you about him because he 's going to come later and surprise you . jax : oh . [ scene_break ] jerry : well , you 're such a fidgety little thing . why do n't you have a glass of this delectable champagne ? emily : no , thank you . jerry : really ? it 's a really good year . it might help you relax . checking your watch every two seconds wo n't get you to nikolas faster -- if he 's lasted that long , that is . [ scene_break ] robin : uh -- i do n't think we should be too hasty . nikolas : huh . too hasty ? i -- robin , i 've been trapped in this nightmare for weeks . i ca n't stand it for one more second . inject me with the counteragent that you developed now . robin : uh -- patrick : well , there 's still time before you get sick . time to make calls , make arrangements . nikolas : calls ? why -- why would i need to do that ? robin : should n't you at least wait until emily gets here ? i mean , she -- she should be with you . nikolas : oh , i get it . this new formula will either save me or kill me , right ? [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeps ] lulu : you look like sleeping beauty . and i 'm the evil stepsister - in - law . i had no right to judge you . after all , i 've been keeping this secret , too , for a long time . and i understand why you could n't tell lucky . and i see how desperately he needs this baby . and you understood all along . so you need to wake up . if you do n't , jason is going to come forward as the father . and that 's going to kill lucky . [ noise ] [ scene_break ] jason : i got nothing to say . ric : well , there 's a surprise . so why do n't you just listen ? because i understand what 's really going on here . you 've always been a little bit in love with elizabeth , have n't you , jason ? i mean , that 's why you slept with her this summer . why you keep hanging around to make sure if she needs any help . so pay attention . elizabeth has moved on . she and lucky are trying to build a life together . now , i understand sam is not the person that you thought she was . and on some level , you ca n't stand to look at her , especially since she slept with me . jason : get out ! ric : elizabeth has made her decision , so i 'm going to say this once . you stay the hell away from her . spinelli : hi . this is the jackal with a live on - scene report on your progeny . [ next_on ] jax : i learned a lot by watching what my older brother did . carly : why are you talking to michael about jerry ? lulu : how long have you been standing there ? ric : what 's so interesting with the computer ? come on ; give it to me , jason . sonny : is there a problem ? | ric visits a comatose elizabeth and confesses all the did to hurt lucky and how much he still loves her , but promises to never try to hurt lucky again . spinelli and lulu continue to pull jason in opposite directions as to what he should do about revealing the truth about the baby . nikolas updates his will . emily goes with craig on his business trip where she goes with him to a bank to establish an account for a large amount of funds he 's expecting and plans to put in his `` fiancee 's `` name , emily quartermaine . thus , she will bear full legal responsibility for all transactions . jax worries that carly 's mild discipline for the boys is too harsh . michael confesses that he and morgan have met jerry . robin and patrick develop a counter - agent , but it may not work ; it may kill nikolas . ric warns jason to stay away from elizabeth , but just as he 's leaving , jason 's computer starts an audio / visual feed of `` the jackal `` reporting on his progeny . ric hears . |
carly : i 'm sorry , baby . see , i thought having you home would be better for everyone , you know . you could be in your own room , and i 'd be able to take care of you , and your brother could see you all the time . well , it turns out that , you know , morgan 's too little to understand that it 's gon na take a little while for you to wake up . he 's confused and he 's scared . i know you would n't want that . you 're such a good big brother . you always look up -- look out for morgan , and that 's what i 'm trying to do now , and i just hope you can forgive me for bringing you back here , baby . jax : hey . carly : hey . jax : i spoke with the head of the aftercare institute , and they 're holding a room for michael . we can see it today . [ scene_break ] spinelli : hey , stone cold . sorry , i did n't mean to interrupt your moment of silent reflection , but you did say to come post - haste . might i assume that the accomplice to little michael 's shooting has suffered the same fate as his über - evil counterpart ? jason : no , i do n't -- i do n't know who was working with them . spinelli : oh , the jackal assumed that the dastardly doctor named an accomplice prior to his demise . jason : no , devlin said `` there 's more . `` that 's it . and then he died . spinelli : that 's a cryptic , unhelpful , and unnecessarily mysterious phrase . jason : yeah , we have -- we have one lead right now -- kate howard . why did she pay devlin a million dollars ? [ scene_break ] kate : okay , here we go . sonny : ah , thanks . kate : do n't be too grateful . never quite mastered coffee . why do you think i send my assistants out every day ? sonny : no , not just for the coffee . i meant just , you know , staying the night . it helps having you here . kate : i would n't be anywhere else , sonny . sonny : no , i mean it . you get me through this , you know . there 's not too many people on my side right now , and your love and support is what gets me through it . [ scene_break ] johnny : how do you know ian did n't give you up before he died ? claudia : because if he did , i 'd already be dead . it 's not like jason did n't have the opportunity . when i came home yesterday , he was sitting in my bedroom . johnny : what ? claudia : yeah , you know what he asked me ? he asked me if i had any proof that daddy 's the one that hired ian . so we 're in the clear . he has no idea that i 'm responsible for michael 's shooting . [ anthony imitating trumpet ] anthony : oh , you two look very serious . is there something i should know ? i hope you are n't talking business with your sister . i do n't want claudia to get the wrong idea about her place in this family . claudia : oh , i 've known my place in this family , daddy , since you sent me away to italy to live with uncle rudy . anthony : rudy was supposed to keep you out of trouble . letting you run things in his name is not what i had in mind . claudia : you 'd be surprised . uncle rudy taught me a lot of things about how to run this business , things that johnny could learn from me , not that he wants my help . anthony : the zaccharas do n't share power , claudia , especially with a woman . now we do n't discuss business in front of them either . close the door on your way out . johnny : we were in the middle of something , dad . claudia : bye , johnny . dad 's right . you have more important things to talk about .

[ scene_break ] carly : do you think that maybe we could wait till next week ? i just got him settled in , and i want to spend a little bit of time with him . jax : carly , putting it off wo n't make it easier . why do n't you just tour the facility , you know ? talk to the doctors ; get all your questions answered . you can fly down there today . you can see for yourself that it 's -- it 's an easy trip , one you can possibly make a few times a week . carly : okay . jax : okay . carly : i 'm gon na say goodbye to him . jax : okay , i 'm gon na call the pilot . carly : hey , baby , i 'm going to leave for a little while , but i 'll be back as soon as i can , okay ? i love you . jax : thanks . all set . carly : i 'm ready . [ scene_break ] jason : what do we have ? the connection with kate and devlin ? what do you got ? spinelli : well , the dastardly doctor paid a stop by the home of mr. corinthos , sir , prior to his departure . the godfather was n't there , but the fashionista most definitely was . jason : mm - hmm . spinelli : had the jackal been more prudent with his p.i . skills , a digital recorder would have been imbedded with the tracking device , and we would have heard the details of the impromptu conversation . jason : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . i 'm more concerned about the money . where 's -- where 's the money right now . spinelli : i jackaled into -- i jackaled into evil ian 's offshore accounts and returned the money to `` crimson 's `` before the law - abiding ones could connect the fashionista . jason : good , good , that 's probably for the best . spinelli : do you -- do you really think the fashionista was in collusion with the dastardly doctor ? jason : man , i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe devlin was working with somebody . maybe he was working alone . maybe he was trying to get rid of sonny so he could run his drugs through this harbor without interference , but when michael got shot -- michael got shot instead . devlin ran to kate , looking for a way out . spinelli : why would the fashionista bankroll evil ian 's getaway ? [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's ironic . all the enemies that i have , and the man who shot michael has no mob ties . he 's just a doctor who was looking to push his product through my territory . kate : when was the last time you talked to jason ? sonny : well , i do n't talk to jason much , because he still blames me for michael getting shot . kate : he 's wrong , sonny . sonny : well , kate , you know , i mean , a father 's supposed to protect his son , and when it mattered , i did n't , and that 's just the way that goes . kate : because you could n't protect michael . sonny : okay , i do n't want to talk about that . listen , i do n't regret saving your life , but jason 's not gon na see it that way , so , you know , he 's -- he 's gon na take care of the business , do what he has to do . as far as -- the trust that we had is gone . kate : well , you 're grieving . you 're both grieving for michael right now . i 'm sure in time -- sonny : and he found out who shot -- he found out who shot michael , and i know i should feel , you know , good about it , but something , you know , tells me that there 's something else going on , because it 's just too neat and clean . i do n't know . i do n't know what it is . kate : um ... ian devlin is dead , right ? sonny : right . kate : the police want to close the case . do n't you think it would be better for everyone if we just let it go , move on ? sonny : not until i find out why someone shot my son and who else was involved . [ scene_break ] trevor : john , this is the second overture from our friends in south america , the esteban family . they want to expand . now if we agree to transport and distribute their product along the eastern seaboard , they 're gon na give us a fair share of the profits and , more importantly , access to their shipping lanes south of the equator . johnny : we 've been through this . i 'm not interested in the deal they 're offering . trevor : maybe your father would like to take a look at the proposal himself . johnny : if we go back now and tell them we 've changed our minds , it 'll be perceived as a sign of weakness . trevor : john , that is your pride talking . in order to stay competitive , we need a strong partnership in south america . the esteban family gives us that and much more . tony , it 's really a very fair proposal . johnny : i 've made my decision . either you trust my judgment , or you do n't . anthony : i 'm not crazy about your attitude . johnny : i 'm not gon na sit here and get into a contest with trevor . trevor : john , there is no contest . i was at your father 's side before you were born . i 've given years of service and loyalty to your father . johnny : you know what , i 'm not gon na sit here and lie to your face . that 's what you 've got this guy for . as for the deal , it 's your business . you run the damn thing however you see fit . trevor : that kid 's certainly got a temper . i certainly hope you 'll rein it in before he burns any more of the bridges to our friends in south america . anthony : john needs guidance . i think i know how to provide it . [ scene_break ] max : it 's always good to see you , ms. miller . you look good -- great . i mean , great -- you always -- i mean , you look so great right -- diane : thank you , max . max : i 'm sorry . i 'm actually here to see ms. howard . diane : kate , why ? max : well , i was kind of hoping she 'd be able to do me a favor for -- for -- kate : lulu , did you ever get a hold of jax ? lulu : i -- i called and left messages on his cell and his home . he has n't called me back . kate : this is cold . lulu : i -- i got it for you earlier , 'cause i thought -- kate : just get me another one , lulu . now . lulu : what about the -- the phones ? kate : when you 're out of the office , you have the phones forwarded to your cell phone . sorry . sorry about that . i 'm down to one assistant , and she needs a lot of training . anyway , have you been here long ? diane : just long enough to fall in love . this dress is sensational . kate : oh . diane : now i know it is off limits until after the photo shoot , but i hope you do n't mind . i saw it on the rack , and it just beckoned to me . i could n't resist . kate : you are always welcome to what you want . now , max , i ca n't imagine that maha chang 's gowns are interesting to you , so why are you here exactly ? max : i need you to intervene with the boss and make him understand that me and ms. miller are meant to be together . thanks . [ scene_break ] epiphany : i 'll be out of your way in a minute . i just gave michael a bath , and i wanted to make sure that he was tucked in nice and tight . sonny : thank you . epiphany : call it part of the job . sonny : no , i mean , it 's more than that . you seem to care about my son . epiphany : i care about all my patients , but michael is a special case . a young life cut short because of the business you chose -- reminds me of my own son . i warned stanford over and over and over again that to work for you could come to no good , but he did n't listen to me , and now my son is gone . sonny : i -- i had nothing to do with what happened to stan . he quit working for me weeks before his death . epiphany : your business is dangerous and destructive , and now we have both lost someone we love because of it . sonny : oh , man . sonny : everybody blames your daddy , but not half as much as i blame myself . [ scene_break ] spinelli : little michael was struck by an errant bullet , standing feet from the fashionista . had mr. corinthos , sir reacted in a different way , she could be very well lying in his progeny 's place . that alone -- that alone should be reason enough for her to support mr. corinthos through his justice - seeking efforts . jason : right , okay , but kate wanted sonny out of the business before michael ever got shot . she had to know that sonny would hunt down whoever was responsible for the shooting . maybe kate wanted devlin to get out of town before sonny could kill him . spinelli : yeah , while i agree with the master 's chain of reasoning , the question remains , how ? how would the fashionista discover dr. -- ian 's involvement in the shooting ? jason : i do n't know . devlin is a sleazebag . i mean , maybe he tried to squeeze a million out of kate just to disappear . he got in front of her , told her , pleaded his case . spinelli : yeah , assuming that is the case , how do you think mr. corinthos , sir will react when he learns that his beloved fashionista paid off the man that shot his son ? [ scene_break ] max : the boss does n't approve of ms. miller dating anyone in his organization . diane : not that i need sonny 's approval . what or whom i do on my own personal time is none of sonny 's business . max : mr. c thinks it 's too much of a distraction . he 's worried ms. miller 's going to lose focus and flip out like ms. davis did after she slept with him . diane : sonny is a self - absorbed chauvinist , who is under the misguided impression that alexis was reduced to a quivering pile of hormones solely due to his intoxicating power over women . when in reality , her highly emotional behavior was the result of an unplanned pregnancy , a direct result of sonny 's inability to use common sense and protection , and it 's insane to believe that i would ever behave that way over max . while i admit that max is enough to make any woman lose their mind . i mean , he 's sexy and virile and attractive on a number of different levels , but i am perfectly capable of keeping my professional and my personal lives separate . max : but the boss does n't believe it . he needs ms. miller to be at the top of her game , especially now that we found out that ian devlin shot michael , and we got some other loose ends to tie up . kate : what loose ends ? [ telephone rings ] [ scene_break ] lulu : kate howard 's office . no , she -- she 's in a meeting . can i take a message ? okay , can you say that number again ? 5 - 0 - 1 - 7 - 6 , okay , great . thanks , bye . oh , sorry . s -- ' scuse me .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i know it could n't -- it could n't have been easy for you with me as a father , with the guns and the guards and being pulled out of school , being sent to the island 'cause things got too dangerous . that 's no way to raise a child . i should have done more to protect you , because you trusted me with your life , and now it 's over . no -- no child should have to pay for his father 's mistakes , and you did that over and over and over again . and i 'm gon na be sorry for that for the rest of my life . sonny : i ca n't change the past , but i can do everything in my power to do what 's right for you , and there 's a place that jax found . you 're going -- you 're going to go there . your mom is gon na visit you all the time . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry , michael , for -- i 'm so sorry for the life that you did n't have and for the life that i took from you . [ scene_break ] max : i -- i 'm sorry . i know that i should n't talk about business around ms. howard . it 's just that i want to keep seeing you and i thought that she might be able to help . diane : look , max , i am even more determined than you , believe me , to prove to sonny that what you and i do in our personal lives is none of his business . but there are better ways of going about it than involving kate howard . and now , if you 'll excuse us . max : of course . well , if you need anything , you can call me over at mr. c 's . diane : i thought sonny did away with his security detail . max : yeah , well , i still walk the property once a day . if anything were ever to happen to mr. c. and i could 've prevented it , i 'd never forgive myself . kate : thank you , max . sonny is very lucky to have you looking after him . max : thank you . diane : max 's blunder not withstanding , i would strongly advise you to reconsider getting involved in sonny 's business . not only could you implicate yourself , but sonny is not a man who takes kindly to interference , no matter how well - intentioned . [ scene_break ] anthony : i 'm glad you could come . lulu : well , you did n't give me much of a choice . anthony : well , something told me you would n't have come by invitation alone . boys , close the door behind you . lulu and i need a little privacy . lulu : okay , you do n't have to threaten me 'cause i already told you that johnny and i are over . anthony : hmm , that 's too bad . my son needs somebody like you in his life . lulu : since when ? a few days ago you did n't want me to have anything to do with him . anthony : call me overprotective . in this business , you ca n't afford distractions . well . johnny 's gon na get himself killed if he ca n't learn to control his temper . and you seem to have a calming influence on him . lulu : yeah , yeah , johnny 's had a death wish since the day i met him . anthony : that 's true . my son lets his emotions get the best of him . and that 's no way to run a business . lucky for him , i 'm back , so he does n't have to . lulu : well , you both have something in common . you 're both whack jobs . anthony : cute and spunky . i can see why he 's infatuated . lulu : well , he 's gon na have to get over it , because i do n't want anything to do with him or you ever again . anthony : my son gets what he wants . you do n't cooperate , your father will pay the price . [ scene_break ] carly : well , um , michael 's always been a fighter , you know . he has been since the day he was born . he 's strong and smart and incredibly stubborn . when he sets his mind to something , it 's really hard to change it . jax : yeah . he 'll just wear you down until he got what he wanted . carly : yeah . dr. levitt : michael sounds like a very determined little boy . what else can you tell us about him ? carly : well , he likes video games . loves junk food . frozen pizza 's his favorite . jax : he takes after his mother . carly : michael has , basically , always been a happy kid . there 's been some troubled times , more trouble than i 'd like to admit . dr. levitt : we 'll do our best to honor the little boy that michael was and to help you through your grief . carly : well , that 's all comforting . it is . but i would like to see how michael is going to spend his days here , and i want to meet the people who are actually going to be taking care of him .

[ scene_break ] jerry : how many meetings have you called ? three ? six ? i mean , for someone who makes it a point of reminding me every time we cross paths how unwise it is to be seen together , you sure find it difficult to stay away . do you actually want to discuss business ? or are you finding excuses to see me ? claudia : do n't flatter yourself . you 're going to want to hear what i have to say . jerry : yes , it seems our good friend dr. devlin took his nasty little secret to his grave . claudia : jason does n't suspect that we were involved in any way , but does think that my father might have hired devlin . jerry : oh , how convenient . you walk free and clear , and i get to keep my standing as port charles ' one and only reformed sociopath . it seems that things are working quite nicely for both of us . claudia : indeed . so , that 'll be the end of it . jerry : until you make that call . claudia : i wo n't make another call . i do n't want to be seen with you , and i do n't want to hear from you again , okay ? jerry : oh , you may want to reconsider when you hear what i have to say .

kate : no . i have no choice . connie is crazy . she betrayed sonny , she attacked dr. keenan . she is dangerous , olivia . she is the reason that i 'm locked up . starr : you own the paper . you can have them print whatever you want on it . todd : oh , there 's no question , but this headline actually happens to be true . i was found not guilty by a jury of my peers , which is hard to imagine -- right ? -- that i have peers . you should have seen the look on nora buchanan 's face when the verdict came in . starr : so you murdered your own brother and they just find you innocent ? todd : no , not innocent , just not guilty -- by reason of insanity . starr : you 're not insane . todd : well , that remains to be seen . but my attorney was able to establish that i was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder , on account of my mother never loved me and held me captive and tortured me . starr : so it 's okay -- that makes it okay for you to kill victor ? todd : i know it 's not okay with you , starr . i 'm sorry . when i pulled the trigger , i - i did n't even -- i did n't remember shooting the guy . starr : so when you were lying to get me to bust you out , you were n't really lying , you just did n't remember ?

jason : [ coughing ] anybody hurt ? [ groans ] [ grunts ] anybody ? [ scene_break ] sam : [ sighs ] michael : oh , hey . sam : hey . michael : alice said you were up here . sam : yeah , i stopped by to give my kid a kiss good night , but he is not back yet . michael : is danny out somewhere with his father ? [ scene_break ] jason : hello ? is anybody in here ? [ grunts ] hello ? [ coughs ] hey . hey , man . hey . let 's got you out of here . oh , no . all right , hey . hey , hey . let 's see ... let 's go , buddy . oh . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , officer ballard . i need to borrow your phone . no phone ? [ sighs ] great . you ca n't be out here by yourself . come on ! hello ? ! hello ? ! somebody ! [ coughs ] hello ? [ sighs ] dante ? hey , man . hey , man . do n't be dead . do n't be dead . robin : he 's not dead , jason . but he 's trapped . you have to save him . jason : robin ... what are you doing here ? robin : well , i 'm not [ chuckles ] really here . kind of like the night that i stopped you from killing sam and patrick . jason : so now i 'm hallucinating again . robin : well , your memory is scrambled , to say the least , but deep down , you know who you are and what you have to do . i 'm a way of remembering . i 'm here to tell you what you already know . [ scene_break ] sam : i have no idea where jason is . he 's probably at his place . danny , on the other hand , is visiting with his grandmother , monica . she took him up to the gatehouse to visit with the groundskeeper 's puppy . michael : so , danny met annabelle the second . sam : [ chuckles ] the quartermaines named the puppy `` annabelle the second `` ? michael : yeah , after annabelle the first . now , that dog , along with elq , was my great - grandfather 's pride and joy , so ... yeah . ... giving the puppy her name , it 's -- it 's a big honor . sam : i 'm sure it is . michael : not that the puppy cares . she 's just cute and wriggly and sweet . sam : well , danny absolutely adores her . i know that he insisted on monica taking him up there to visit the puppy , but she said that they were only gon na be like 10 minutes . and i said i would wait here , and it 's clearly been over 10 minutes , so ... michael : do you want me to text my -- my grandmother ? sam : no , no , no . that 's okay . no , i do n't want to be the kind of mother that takes her kid away from playing with a puppy . i mean , it 's not like i have anywhere to be tonight anyway . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i -- i do n't understand . am i conscious ? or am i passed out over there by that bike ? robin : would you be hurting this much if you were unconscious ? jason : huh . that 's a good point . okay , this is what we got . got a broken phone . ca n't find the driver 's , and he 's dead . we 're on an isolated road . not too many people come up and down this thing , and it could be hours before we see another car . and , uh , i doubt the motorcycle is operational , but even if it is , i know i 'm not in any shape to ride it , because i am talking to somebody who is n't here . robin : that is a very thorough assessment . jason : eventually , the cops are gon na come looking for this van . i just do n't know how long until they realize it 's gone . robin : jason , what are you gon na do ? jason : you know , actually , uh ... i could use a little help . why do n't you tell me what to do ? robin : well , the truth is [ chuckles ] i could never tell you what to do . even when you asked for my advice , you would n't always take it . if you have one defining trait , it 's that you make your own choices . you do what you feel is right regardless of what anybody else says . [ scene_break ] sam : i might stop by and see my mom later . michael : is everything okay ? sam : [ exhales ] not really . i 'm sure you heard my mother is defending carlos rivera . michael : yeah . [ clicks tongue ] i did . actually , i ran into her earlier today at the pcpd . i was visiting carlos when she kicked me out to meet with her client . [ scene_break ] jason : if something in this van shifts or the undercarriage gives way , this van could come down and crush him . but if i move him , i might kill him . robin : put yourself in dante 's place . if it were you , what would you want to happen ? jason : i 'd want someone to get me the hell out of here . robin : and you do n't mind putting yourself in danger . jason : yeah , i used to . [ grunts ] robin : not anymore ? jason : [ grunts ] [ sighs ] i do n't mind risking myself . sometimes it 's fun , but , uh , everything 's different now . i 've got people who depend on me . [ scene_break ] sam : why were you visiting with carlos ? michael : i wanted him to tell me where sabrina and her baby are . he agreed , but for a price . sam : okay , well , whatever it is , he ca n't be trusted . you know that . michael : you do n't have to worry , actually . jason convinced me to turn him down . sam : wha -- jason ? michael : yeah . it -- it was -- it was so strange . i mean , he showed up out of nowhere and said exactly what i needed to hear . that has n't happened in a long time . [ scene_break ] jason : i was a different person before . i liked taking risks with my life , but now i realize , uh , i 've got a family . i ca n't risk their future . they need me . robin : i could never make you understand that . i tried to explain to you over and over again that it 's not necessarily wrong to put your life on the line . jason : but i better have a damn - good reason ? robin : do you think this qualifies ? jason : okay . okay , buddy . his pulse is still good . he 's breathing okay . but he 's got this pin sticking out of his shoulder . if i pull it out , he might bleed out . i do n't know . [ sighs ] he ca n't bear the weight . i got to get him out now . dante , hey , buddy . help me out here , man . [ sighs ] okay . i do n't know how you got yourself wedged in there , but you 've done a heck of a job . [ grunts ] all right . we can do this . [ grunts ] [ groans ] two more inches up , and i can drag you out , man . carly : two more inches down , his legs would have been crushed . be grateful for what you got . jason : [ sighs ] it 's not carly . carly : hi . jason : let me guess ... you 're here to remind me of all those moments that should have been disasters but were okay , right ? carly : most of them turned out okay . and the disasters -- they could have been worse . jason : [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] michael : you know , we have n't really talked much since jason 's been back . sam : oh , sure we have . i just saw you when jason gave control of elq back to your family . michael : yeah , no , i mean , um , we have n't really talked about how jason is now , as opposed to how he used to be . sam : well , i mean , he 's -- he 's not that different . he 's still fearless and independent . he does whatever he thinks is right , no matter what anyone else says . he 's kind and patient , and ... he 's really wonderful with danny . michael : yeah . do n't -- do n't misunderstand me . i just mean jason 's been great to me , too . it 's just [ sighs ] i ca n't help but you know , miss the way -- miss the way he used to be . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're gon na figure this out . you 're really good at improvising . you suck at lying , though . that was always my best quality , which is why we 're such a great team . lying is not gon na help dante , though . nope . you are going to have to move this van without crushing him in the process . jason : yeah . how am i supposed to do that ? carly : why are you asking me ? jason : that 's right . you 're not here . and i 'm talking to myself . [ groans ] carly : i think you 're seeing me because you miss me . jason : carly , my head is pounding so bad i can barely see straight . carly : or maybe you need some encouragement . see , i 'm a big believer in perseverance . if you ca n't get what you want the first time , then you have to come at it from another angle . but what you ca n't do -- what you can never do -- is talk yourself into giving up . quitting is bad habit . and once you start , it gets easier and easier , and you become addicted . jason : [ scoffs ] what do you know about that , huh ? you 've never quit anything in your life . everything you wanted , you went for . carly : that 's because i had you . jason : mm . [ scene_break ] michael : [ sighs ] and jason has helped me deal with so much . you know , and i can tell him those stories , but he wo n't really connect with them . sam : i know how you feel . michael : you do ? sam : i mean -- i -- i try and stay positive and focus on the present -- i do . and i think it 's a miracle that he 's back here with me and danny , and i 'm grateful for that . michael : but ? sam : it 's like you said -- i try to tell him stories about our life together , and he does n't connect with them . [ scene_break ] carly : your head is hurting . jason : yeah . it 's like ice picks behind my eyes . i have n't felt like this since ... carly : since the night of the bomb at the haunted star ? jason : no , that was different . that was helena . do n't bring her up . this is different -- i must have hit my head when we crashed . carly : if you say so . jason : what 's that supposed to mean ? carly : that 's what you say to me when you know i 'm lying to myself . jason : look , carly . i ca n't do this right now . i 'm telling you , my head 's killing me . i got to move this van somehow . i do n't know how to do it . carly : jason . jason : what ? carly : sometimes simplest is best . it 's a motor vehicle -- it was designed to move . [ scene_break ] sam : all those memories , the 100 million moments that make a relationship , it 's ... it 's the big ones , like when jason saved my life . and the little -- the little ones , too . oh , i think about it all the time -- when we used to play dominoes and drink tequila together . but i 've -- i 've realized that those are my memories now . not his . and i have to grieve for them alone . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're gon na have to move him . jason : yeah , i know . carly : what do you think happened here ? jason : i do n't know , but i do n't think that dante was the only passenger . this looks like a prison transport to me . carly : where 's the prisoner ? jason : running , i would imagine . okay . we got a four - wheel drive here . both front wheels are on the ground . we 're on an incline , so if i back up two feet , i think that 's gon na give us our two inches . carly : what 's taking so long ? jason : well , it kind of defeats the purpose if my weight shifts this van and it crushes dante . so ... okay . [ metal creaking ] jason : [ chuckles ] oh . transmission seems to work . let 's try the starter . carly : what are you waiting for ? dante 's bleeding . the sooner you move the van , the sooner you get him out . jason : i need to check the fuel line first , make sure it 's still intact . carly : that could take time . jason : well , it 's better than blowing us all to hell . carly : since when did you become so cautious ? jason : since i 'm about do something i ca n't take back . all right . [ groans ] [ exhales sharply ] i do n't see any -- oh , no . [ grunting ] yeah . oh , that 's leaking . that 's not good . we got to find another way . i do n't know how we 're gon na ... move this van . but we 're gon na have to do it quick . [ scene_break ] sam : you know what ? i 'm being ridiculous . jason is alive and well , and we have a healthy , beautiful son . that should be enough for me . michael : look , sam , it 's okay . you can be , you know , grateful for what you have now but still miss what used to be . sam : i understand . i just do n't want to jinx it by wanting too much . michael : jinx -- since when are you superstitious ? sam : since helena cursed me on her deathbed . [ scene_break ] jason : think -- how i am -- how am i gon na raise this van ? okay . how do i -- i -- i can do this . do n't worry , buddy . i 'm gon na get you out of here . okay ? a jack . yeah , of course . you got to have a jack in this thing , right ? of course , they 've got a jack . where 's that jack ? helena : it would unwise to leave a jack in a prisoner - transport van . it could be used as a weapon . jason : you . [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't even remember what i said , but i must have pissed her off , and she cursed me . oh , crap . michael : what ? sam : that 's it . she cursed me and my parents -- those who begat me . michael : huh . it sounds ominous . sam : no . no , no , no . that part of the curse must have stuck , because my parents have had nothing but misery lately . [ scene_break ] jason : my head feels like it 's gon na split open . helena : ah . jason : [ exhales sharply ] helena : the conditioning is most effective . jason : there 's no conditioning . i had surgery . you 're out of me . helena : still , you do n't remember , and you never will . not your own past , or what happened to your little son jake on cassadine island . jason : what 'd you do to jake , huh ? what 'd you do to my son ? helena : well , i believe i just told you that he will never remember . jason : i wish you really were here . i 'd make you tell me . but i do n't have time for you . i 'm gon na move this van . helena : oh , i 'm afraid that falls outside your particular skill set . now , if you were going to shoot him or -- or snap his neck ... but not even you can lift that van with your bare hands . jason : shut up ! i just need a lever . ugh . i just need a lever . helena : you are on a deserted roadway , miles from the nearest building , and there are no levers , no jaws of life , no handy tools that you can use to improvise . well -- how -- what on earth do you think you can do with that ? jason : i 'm gon na prop it on the rock . if i can wedge it under the van , i can lift it ... just enough i can pull him out . helena : or you will shift it just enough to bring it down on top of him and crush the life out of him . jason : [ grunts ] well , it 's either that or he burns up to death , because when fuel ignites , we 're both gone . helena : well , you might as well spare yourself the effort , because you ca n't hope to succeed . [ chuckles ] the conditioning wo n't allow you . [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't want to give helena credit for having power beyond the grave , but ever since she put that curse on me , my parents ' wedding became a hostage crisis and carlos resurfaced . michael : well , you know why your mom 's defending carlos . sam : yes , i do -- to stop carlos from testifying that my father ordered him to kill duke . yeah , i know . there , i said it . michael : so you believe that julian had duke killed . sam : oh , do n't you ? ! michael : yeah , absolutely . more importantly , my father does . sam : yeah . michael : look , eventually , he 's going to have to do something about it . sam : i know . but my mother is stuck in the middle . michael : so are you . sam : it 's not the same . i have learned to love my father , and i am forever grateful that he saved danny 's life . but my father will kill to get what he wants , and lie to protect himself . my mother ca n't accept that . she 's clinging to this illusion that he 's changed . michael : you know what ? when i saw your mom today at the pcpd , she seemed calm on the surface -- you know , professional , composed . but i got the feeling that was all an act , like just underneath , she was -- she was wound so tight she could snap . sam : that 's because she 's afraid to lose the person that she loves . and i -- i do n't know why i 'm judging her , because i know how it feels . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're still controlling me ? helena : oh , why do you think the pain is back ? why do you think it 's so excruciating ? jason : i feel and hit my head in the wreck . helena : no . no , you 're trying to remember . the nearer you come , the worse the pain will get . even if you could lift that van , well , you would black out before you could ever rescue dante . jason : stop ... speaking ! you 're not even really a memory fragment . helena : of course . [ chuckles ] i oversaw your conditioning . now , i know you far better than you know yourself . now , come . get on that motorcycle and ride away , knowing the pain will end , your mind will clear , and you will forget port charles and everyone in it . then you will go back to your original mission . sam : no , jason ! you can beat her . helena does n't control you anymore . you can do this , jason . you can save dante . helena : well , bravo . you have conjured up one last memory of sam before she leaves your mind and your life forever . sam : danny and i are waiting for you . finish this and come home to us . helena : how touching , if a bit cliché . you are fighting your way through the pain , and you 're telling yourself that it ca n't get worse . oh , i assure you ... it can . and it will . jason : [ groans ] [ scene_break ] [ switch clicks ] michael : do you have any reason to think you 're gon na lose jason ? sam : no . not at all . if anything , jason is safer than he 's ever been . he wants absolutely nothing to do with your father 's business . i -- i know it sounds selfish , because i know your dad really needs jason right now , but i 'm actually pretty grateful . michael : yeah . and one good thing -- jason wo n't be pulled into a war between my father and yours . sam : [ chuckles ] is that what you 're calling it -- a war ? my father does not stand a chance . the only reason why he survived this long is because of danny , me , and my mother . michael : yeah . [ inhales ] you know , i -- i do n't think alexis realizes how far out of his way my father has gone to keep the peace . i do n't think your father realizes , either . sam : [ chuckles ] what , you think my father thinks that he 's gone this far because he 's `` that good `` ? michael : yeah . sam : probably . michael : look , my father will be careful . he wants to avoid collateral damage , but he can not let this go on forever . sam : okay . all right , what can happen ? maybe -- maybe we 'll get lucky . maybe carlos will flip on my dad and send him to prison . and this can all be over with . michael : is that what you want ? sam : ugh . my mother would be heartbroken , but the truth is she 's better off without julian . and i now sound like the world 's biggest hypocrite . michael : why ? sam : um , because all the years that jason and i were together , my mother told me that i was better off without him , and i refused to listen . [ scene_break ] helena : you 're going to black out soon . the conditioning will reset itself . and when you wake , your memory will be wiped . riding away now would have the same effect , but it wo n't hurt nearly as much . jason : i believe you . [ inhales sharply ] whatever you did to me , you took away ... my ... memory . you took my life . you took my free will . and maybe i 'll go back to following your conditioning , but i promise you this -- i will fight you down to the last second until i pass out . helena : suit yourself , soldier boy . sam : she 's gone . jason : good . because if i 'm about lose myself forever , i 'd like to spend the time i have left with you . [ scene_break ] sam : jason and i have been through some really rough times , but jason would never play me the way my father is playing my mother . he 's using her love . jason would never do that to me . and my mom honestly believes that julian is a better man with her . michael : well ... there 's no question that jason 's a better man with you . [ scene_break ] jason : my head 's getting worse . helena was right about that . sam : hey . you broke through helena 's conditioning before . you can do it again . jason : [ grunts ] if i ca n't , i should tell you something , even though you 'll never hear it and this is all going on in my head . i love you , sam . i love how strong and loyal , fearless you are . you 're stubborn . [ chuckles ] you 're gorgeous . i love that our son is lucky enough to have you as a mother , because the bond that you share , it 's special . it 's rare . i love how easy we fit , how right it feels . i ca n't believe i 'm gon na lose my memories of you , 'cause i want to spend the rest of my life with you . but i 'll tell you somethin ' i should have told you that a long time ago . i should have made sure that you know what you are to me . singer : would n't give it up [ scene_break ] michael : jason thought he was jake doe . even after , when he insisted on being with elizabeth , it was -- it was like he was fighting himself . he did n't -- he did n't fit his life . that was obvious . he -- he did n't know what he was supposed to want . he did n't realize he -- he did n't realize he belonged with you . sam : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] do you really think it 's that simple ? you know , two people just belong together ? michael : i -- i do n't think it 's simple at all . i mean , a lot of people never find the person they 're supposed to be with . [ exhales ] but you and jason did . [ scene_break ] jason : whatever happens , i need you and danny to know that i love you . i never meant to leave you . sam : we know . [ sobs ] jason : [ groans ] the line 's getting worse . if i do n't do something now , it 's gon na be too late . sam : then do it .

[ sniffles ] i mean , sonny ... he said our marriage was over , and then i turn around , i slept with jax , and then he found out about it . and then he has jax arrested and then deported ? it 's ... i ca n't live in this fantasy of who i want sonny to be , you know ? i have to deal with the cold facts of who he is . [ scene_break ] sonny : this could all be over , provided you get carly to accept a fair settlement in the divorce . martina : but you 'll need to meet her at least halfway . sonny : okay , let me explain something to you . i keep what 's mine . she keeps what 's hers . that 's halfway , and that 's fair . she 's holding on to my assets to punish me . so you 're gon na have to talk her out of that . martina : okay , unfortunately , i was hired to do exactly the opposite . sonny : martina ... you are very smart . i 'm sure you will find the best solution for everyone . martina : you mean the best solution for you . sonny : i 'm gon na have max drop you off . you got a lot of work to do . you should start now .

[ scene_break ] valentin : if you truly regret what you did to me , then drop this . anna : no ! because i ca n't stop wondering what was the fallout . what if the damage was n't contained ? valentin : i do n't care ! i do n't want to think about this ! i should never have gotten near the chimera ! the only reason i did is 'cause you begged me to . you said you needed it . you said your life was in danger . but you were playing me the whole time ! i do n't want to think about what an idiot i was . i do n't want to think about what a liar you were . and i definitely do n't want to think about what i did . anna : i 'm sorry ! i 'm sorry . valentin : listen , you say that so often , i 'm beginning to doubt your sincerity . anna : well , i mean it ! god , can i make amends for what i did , please ? valentin : no , you ca n't . but you can drop this . [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , looks just like the one in helena 's storybook . franco : yeah , but it 's more than that . jason : this seems to be the tree that jake must have been hiding behind when he was staring at the scarecrow . franco : yeah , but it 's strange because you ca n't see the scarecrow from behind here . to see the scarecrow , you got to be here . but if you 're here , then you 're not behind the tree like the kid in the drawing . jason : you 're right . if jake was here , the only thing that he could see ... would be this wall . franco : you see something ? jason : yeah . [ scene_break ] kristina : thanks for seeing me tonight . sonny : what 's up , babe ? how are you ? kristina : mm . good . sonny : anytime . i love seeing you , but you 're always so busy , so what have you been up to ? kristina : on top of everything else that 's going on , i am also involved in the nurses ' ball this year . sonny : mm . kristina : mostly because of amy . sonny : amy ? kristina : amy driscoll . the nurse at gh . blonde , funny , lives to gossip . the woman i 'm living with . sonny : oh , i did n't know . i did n't know that . kristina : i definitely told you about it . sonny : no , you did n't tell me . kristina : well , it 's no big deal . it 's not like you do n't have enough to keep track of already . sonny : so , what about this amy ? kristina : dad , she 's so talented . she 's giving lucy so many great ideas . it 's been awesome . sonny : that 's great . kristina : but you do n't want to hear about that . sonny : no , anything that 's important to my daughter in her life , i want to hear about . kristina : well , that will have to wait because i came here to see how you 're doing . i know things are difficult with the divorce . sonny : everything is really good on that front . kristina : dad , who are you talking to ? michael told me that carly 's taking everything .

[ laughter ] bobbie : well , just so long as you 're looking out for my daughter 's best interests . so , lucy has been doing a million things for the nurses ' ball . i think i 'm going to kill her one of these days . martina : [ chuckles ] bobbie : do you happen to practice criminal law ? martina : oh . not in new york . bobbie : well , i 'm kidding , anyway . i think . carly : bye . bobbie : bye , sweetie . carly : i love you . bobbie : you take care . carly : yeah . [ sighs ] martina : she 's a bit of a mama bear , is n't she ? carly : she is . where do you think i get it from ? [ chuckles ] sit down . martina : so , how is your mother taking the divorce ? carly : um ... she 's pretty good , yeah . i mean , she 's never been a fan of me and sonny , so that helps . martina : still , it must be hard on her . carly : i think she 's concerned . martina : eh , it 's more than that , i think . i sensed the same thing when i met michael . carly : oh , well , michael , he 's very open about wanting me to compromise . he thinks i should give sonny what 's his and keep what 's mine . martina : your son may make a valid point . carly : since when ? martina : well , i would be remiss as your lawyer if i did n't offer you every option , and one of those would be to avoid all the rancor and bitterness and take a closer look at diane 's proposal . carly : uh , hold on . when i hired you , you assured me that you would make sure i kept everything . now it sounds like you want to settle . why ? what happened ? martina : nothing . carly : i 'm not buying it . [ scene_break ] kristina : i know you signed everything over to carly . and if she refuses to sign it back , you could be cash poor for a while . sonny : do n't worry about it . kristina : but i do worry . and that 's why i want you to disregard the invoice that you 'll be getting from pcu . sonny : why would i be getting an invoice from them ? kristina : i 've been taking some courses . sonny : ah . kristina : and i 'm pleased to report that i have finally gotten my head on straight -- academically , anyway . sonny : i 'm glad to hear it . what about amy ? kristina : oh , she 's been great . i ca n't even tell you . sonny : try . kristina : anyway , my point is , i wanted to carry a full course load in the summer , and in the fall , i 'd commit to getting my degree . sonny : that 's great . kristina : the thing is , because i 'm so determined , i can wait a semester or a year . sonny : so , you want to get your degree , big - time , eventually ? kristina : dad , i told you , i do n't want you paying for anything . so i 'll work at perks in the summer , save up my money until i can afford to go back to school . sonny : you know how expensive school is ? you ca n't afford that working at perks . kristina : it 's not forever . i mean , once i can access my trust fund that you set up for me , which wo n't be until next year ? i mean , it 's not the kind that i could borrow against , so ... sonny : right . kristina : yeah , it 's probably for the best . i 'd hate for you to put all that money aside for me just to blow it on something stupid . sonny : i 'm glad you 're taking responsibility , but this is -- kristina : no `` buts . `` i still have to prove myself . sonny : to who ? kristina : to me , for starters . maybe i can ask michael for help . sonny : you 're not gon na ask michael for help . no , michael 's not paying for anything . i 'm your dad , and i 'm the one who pays for everything . kristina : yeah , but if the divorce drags out ... sonny : it 's not gon na drag out , 'cause carly and i are gon na settle soon . [ scene_break ] martina : carly , nothing has changed . you want me to scorch the earth , i will scorch it . carly : okay , good . you had me worried . martina : well , i charge by the hour . the longer this goes on , the more money i make . and if we go to trial , i will make a killing . but i pride myself on doing what 's best for my client , regardless of how it benefits me personally . carly : okay . martina : i have reservations about moving ahead . the costs will be great . and i do n't just mean financially . carly : i know that . i know . martina : i just find it interesting that neither you nor sonny want to involve michael in your divorce , and yet you seem to be in perfect agreement about sonny 's daughter , avery . carly : of course , we are . that was never an issue . martina : it means that you are closer to compromise than you think . i 've reviewed your assets , and you do n't need your husband 's money . carly : no , that was never the point . martina : the point is that you 're hurt and angry . but those are poor reasons to make life decisions . there 's a -- there 's a chance here for -- for compromise . and my best advice as your attorney is for you to take it . [ scene_break ] nathan : well , were n't you worried about valentin 's mysterious past with anna ? nina : i was . i 'm not anymore . nathan : okay , so , what brought about this sudden and uncharacteristic clarity ? nina : somebody suggested something . nathan : who is `` somebody `` ? nina : a stranger . sometimes it 's easier to talk to a stranger about something that 's important than someone you know . anyway , it made me realize i was overreacting . my marriage is back on track . anyway , i do n't want to talk about my marriage anymore . i want to talk about yours . let 's talk about your marriage . soon , maxie is gon na be back , working with me , and back in your arms .

guy : just curious -- why a high school dance ? in case it slipped your mind , we 're both in college . lucas : i know . i 've been asked to chaperone . guy : ah . so you 're asking me on a real date ? lucas : do i need to place an ad in the paper ? i mean , a simple yes or no will do . guy : yes . i 'd love to go to prom with you . elizabeth : hey . kelly : it 's what noah suspected . elizabeth : oh , god . sam has been through so much . she 's finally getting better , and now this happens ? kelly : i have to find a way to tell the family . elizabeth : and -- and there 's no procedure that can relieve this condition ? kelly : according to noah , surgery is n't an option . sam would bleed to death before the procedure was completed . elizabh : so there is a procedure ? kelly : it 's too risky . the only hope -- and i admit it 's a slim one -- is to start her on medication and hope the intracerebral edema clears up without surgery . mayor floyd : excuse me , nurse ? i am mayor floyd . elizabeth : yes , i know who you are . mayor floyd : good . i need to see sam mccall . could you please tell me her room number ? elizabeth : look , this really is n't a good time for sam to be having visitors right now . so if you take a seat , i 'll make sure that -- mayor floyd : i am afraid that this ca n't wait . i do need sam mccall 's room number . stan : it 's actually i.c.u . one . i was on my way over there . i 'll take you . mayor floyd : thank you . epiphany : what are you doing ?

elizabeth : `` mom `` ? kelly : it 's a potentially fatal condition . alexis : is she in any pain ? kelly : no . alexis : how are yogoing to treat it ? kelly : we 'll start sam on a regimen of oxymethasone and osmotic diuretics . there 's a slim chance it 'll relieve the problem . alexis : and if that does n't work ? kelly : it 'll cause brain death . mayor floyd : you can keep your distance from that criminal . ric : oh -- whatever it is , mayor , ok , it 's going to have to wait . mayor floyd : and i ca n't believe i have to remind you that avoiding underworld figures should be your first priority as new district attorney . i 'm your venus ... nikolas : huh . i -- i do n't know what 's more insane -- you thinking that elizabeth is cheating on you or you asking me to blindside an innocent man . lucky : listen , i saw elizabeth leaving with patrick . nikolas : ok . lucky : she 's been lying about it , and that -- and that address that i found in her purse turns out to be a side entrance to the cosmopolitan hotel . nikolas : but have you seen them in a compromising position ? lucky : that 's what i 'm working on . nikolas : do you hear yourself right now ? do you ? lucky : rodriguez -- rodriguez , he agreed to follow patrick . but i need somebody -- i need somebody on the inside , to watch him . nikolas : lucky , listen to me , you 're my brother -- lucky : you have all that business there . nikolas : i kn , i know , but i 'm your brother and i would do anything to help you . but in this case , i -- i believe that the best thing for you to do is to just confront elizabeth with your suspicions , be honest with her . lucky : no . i am not ready . do you think that i want to believe that my wife is sleeping with another man ?

[ epiphany sighs ] epiphany : and what does he do ? throws it all away to go work for some mobsters . and he announces it like it is a good thing -- `` i got a job working for sonny corinthos ! `` elizabeth : now , i know jason and sonny , and if your boy is working for them , then i 'm sure they 'll protect him . epiphany : i -- i 've got no beef with mr . corinthos or mr . morgan . whenever they 've come in here , they 've treated me with respect , which is more than i can say for most of the law - abiding citizens in this town . i even like morgan -- sort of . he suffers no crap . but stanford had the world by the tail . elizabeth : `` stanford `` ? epiphany : he could 've been a doctor , a lawyer -- a c.e.o . to rival even bill gates . why he chose to do such a dangerous job is beyond me .

carly : looks like you guys are in the middle of something important . jax : well , i was giving my stepson the benefit of my sage advice . carly : about what ? jax : how to be a good brother . carly : should n't you be having that conversation with morgan ? jax : what do you mean ? carly : you 're the younger brother . jax : oh . well , that 's true . but i was just -- i was just telling michael that , you know , i learned a lot by watching what my older brother did and what he -- what he did n't do . carly : why are you talking to michael about jerry ? [ scene_break ] lulu : so you need to wake up . because if you do n't , jason is going to come forward as the father . and that will kill my brother . how long have you been standing there ? lucky : long enough .

[ scene_break ] patrick : we have isolated the compound that makes the counteragent work . the reason why it only lasts for 24 hours is that craig has been injecting you with a very low dose . we think if we inject you with the compound at a higher dose , it should , theoretically , eliminate the poison from your body -- permanently . nikolas : okay , so that 's the good news . and if your theory 's wrong ? robin : bombarding your body with such a high dose could kill you . resuscitation would be useless and you might not make it . patrick : look , i 'm sorry , nikolas , but it 's the only prognosis . robin : i mean , unfortunately , we do n't have any more time to do any more research . nikolas : robin , none of this matters , i 'll take my chances . i just want this to be over . robin : okay , but you have to understand you are risking your life . do n't you want to think about this first , talk to emily ? patrick : she is invested , she probably deserves some input . nikolas : she 's with her family ; she does n't even know i checked in . robin : well , maybe now would be a really good time to call her . nikolas : no , robin , i 'd rather not have her watch me die if it comes to that , and i can no longer stand by and watch this bastard craig manipulate her . this ends today , so give me the shot . [ scene_break ] jerry : you know , if you insist on fretting , you should at least prioritize your worries . emily : what ? jerry : well , nikolas wo n't be needing a dose of his medicine for a couple of hours . your more immediate concern will be admitting that you accompanied me on this little trip -- or figuring out a way to cover it up . emily : nikolas is n't the only person i 'm worried about . elizabeth just had her baby ; she 's still in critical condition . jerry : hmm . emily : you remember elizabeth , right ? jerry : mm - hmm . emily : the pregnant nurse that you took such joy in tormenting at the metro court ? jerry : yes , i do -- baby 's breath elizabeth . yes , i remember her well . did she pop out a boy or a girl ? oh , elizabeth , she was -- she was a veritable madonna that night -- full of loving concern for that bundle that she was carrying . i was really surprised that you decided to keep elizabeth in the lobby and booted your dying father out instead . emily : are you really that empty inside ? are you that devoid of empathy or compassion ? you killed my father just as surely as if you put a bullet in his head , and now you 're trying to kill the man i love . does a human being exist that actually matters to you ?

[ scene_break ] kelly : it 's not in the baby 's best interests to stay in the nursery indefinitely . lucky : we 're not talking indefinite . elizabeth is going to wake up any minute , and if she ca n't hold her baby with her own arms , or -- or see him with her own eyes , she 's going to think she had a miscarriage . what if that sends her into shock or something ? lulu : we could have the baby back here in no time flat . lucky : i want him nearby . we all need each other right now . kelly : is that your final decision ? lucky : yes ! kelly : okay . we 'll monitor your son closely . but i have to reiterate -- rotating nurses are no substitute for family or for your son adapting to his permanent environment . ideally , he should be bonding with his mother . lucky : well , that 's not an option at this point . kelly : which is why he should be home , at the very least . lulu : lucky , i -- i can take care of him , and -- and bobbie and carly will help . lucky : i know my wife . elizabeth is going to wake up and need to see her son , and he 's going to be right here , waiting for her .

[ scene_break ] skye : peace offering . i know you 've been on calls all day , but i thought maybe you could take a break and have a few bites with me . lorenzo : we 're on speaking terms -- i 'm a little surprised . skye : well , there 's no reason to live in an armed camp . i did n't sleep last night , in case you wondered . i know you 'd never let any harm come to lila , but it 's just that i 've never been apart from her before . lorenzo : i realize that . skye : i tossed and turned all night last night , trying to decide how i felt about you -- whether i hated you or empathized with you on some level . lorenzo : what 'd you come up with ? skye : a lot of regret . not just because you took my daughter away from me . but i took a really long look at my own actions . i saw how we broke that trust that we worked so hard to build . and i realized something last night . no matter what i said yesterday , i think -- i 'd like to think that we could still be a team . lorenzo : i had a rough night , too . i did some soul - searching of my own . skye : there will always be this pull between us , you hear me ? whether i run away , whether we keep things from each other , it will always come back to this -- i want you . i need to be with you . lorenzo : you know what ? not that i would n't love to sleep with you , skye , but we need to be clear . it does not mean i will bring lila rae home . [ scene_break ] jax : forgive me , but i did n't realize you had such antipathy for jerry . carly : look , i -- i know that i do n't have any right talking about someone else 's family , but i have some major problems with your brother . jax : well , maybe i better hear them . carly : i think he 's selfish . he does n't have a problem yanking you out of your own life when there 's something going wrong with his . it does n't matter what you 're going through or that you might get killed trying to save him . jax : you know , jerry and i have always depended on each other . over the years , he 's become a little distant . i realize that . but jerry loves me . he would never intentionally be cavalier with my well - being . carly : really ? are you sure about that ? because from where i 'm sitting , all of his so - called emergencies seem to be perfectly planned . they seem to happen right when you 're about to be happy with me . and you know what ? i think he 's trying to undermine our marriage . i 'm sorry . jax : maybe you 're right . you know , i debated telling you this . but we should n't start off our marriage with a secret , so here goes . the reason michael and i were talking was because jerry was here . my mom has more energy than anyone i know . [ scene_break ] skye : i 'm not going to lie to you . i did harbor some hope that , if you felt close to me , you might bring our daughter home . it 's not the only reason i wanted to sleep with you , but it certainly was a big part of it . lorenzo , this is n't natural . a daughter should not be separated from her mother . lorenzo : more than anything , i want our daughter back in your arms . skye : then why do n't you ? lorenzo : am i supposed to conveniently forget that you 've been conspiring against me with ric lansing ? skye : i was scared ; i did n't know who i could trust . lorenzo : or maybe this is all an act , and you truly despise me . maybe you 're just biding time , waiting for an opportunity to take our daughter away from me . skye : i -- lorenzo : or worse . skye : i made a mistake . i should think you , of all people , can understand that . lorenzo : i understand that there are a lot of reasons why you should resent me -- the loss of your other family , for one . skye : the family that i have with you and lila means far more to me than anything i ever had with the quartermaines . if i resented you or despised you , would i have walked away from everything that mattered the most to me ? would i have stood by you through all the setbacks that we had ? would i still be standing here after you 've taken my daughter off to god knows where ? lorenzo , i had a moment of weakness . you deceived me , and the bottom fell out . but that does n't change what 's in my heart . lorenzo : what ? skye : it will always be connected to yours . i 'm afraid it always will be . i am in it for the duration . ca n't you see that ? no matter what you do , no matter what i do , you are it for me . skye : so the ball 's in your court . i 'm sure you will do best -- what you think is best for us and our daughter . and i have faith that you will bring her home . [ scene_break ] carly : jerry was here ? jax : apparently so . carly : why did n't jane say anything , or michael and morgan ? jax : they were sworn to secrecy -- that 's what michael was telling me right before you walked in . carly : and that 's okay with you ? that an adult stranger -- because that 's what jerry is to my boys -- an adult stranger asked michael and morgan to keep his presence here a secret , and then jane reinforces the lie , and that 's okay with you ? jax : jerry 's a special case -- carly : not to me , and not where my boys are concerned . jax : hold on a second . you ca n't be suggesting that -- that jerry 's a danger to michael and morgan ? carly : jerry 's a loose cannon , and who knows what kind of baggage he 's dragging around , jax ? jax : you know what ? he might not be the best role model , but jerry would never put children at risk , okay ? and he would n't have come here unless he 'd known it was safe . carly : oh , yeah , because the russian mafia always plays fair , does n't it ? jax : he 's not a gangster , okay ? my brother 's not a gangster . carly : that 's the problem -- he 's not one of their own ! he 's -- he 's some expendable mercenary for hire , and i ca n't believe you do n't see how wrong that is ! jax : oh -- carly : and you know what ? i ca n't believe you do n't see what jerry 's presence here really means . jax : well , i 'm sure you 're about to tell me . carly : your brother is on a mission to ruin our marriage , and now he 's using my boys , and that is not okay .

[ scene_break ] lulu : you 're still here ? spinelli : yeah , stone cold is naturally craving updates on his little bundle , so , i remain . lulu : how is the baby ? spinelli : he seems okay . but according to nurse epiphany , he might not be for long unless he 's sent home to bond with his family . lulu : yeah , well , lucky wo n't hear that . so he wants elizabeth to wake up and have the baby here , so we need to make this as homey of an experience as possible for the baby . spinelli : oh , with black leather onesies and a chrome crib ? lulu : no , the child is a spencer , spinelli . so the spencers are going to rally , and we 're going to take turns holding the baby and telling him stories about the family that he 's been born into . spinelli : light of my life , you know i hate disagreeing with you , but come on . the person that should be holding the baby right now is the real father . lulu : no , spinelli , that boat sailed a long time ago . do n't worry , i will tell jason all the reasons why the baby 's going to be okay with us . spinelli : what 's wrong ? lulu : i just realized how terrified i am .

[ voice breaking ] and this is what he got for his trouble ? god , how could connie do this ? [ sniffles ] no . no , that 's -- i 'm responsible , not connie . johnny : kate is not my girlfriend . carly : i 'm sorry . your girlfriend , connie . johnny : carly . carly : carly is definitely not your girlfriend . where 's the apology ? 'cause all i 'm hearing is denial and excuses and some boring flowers my daughter could have picked from the side of the road . johnny : well , if you let me get to the apology part -- carly : oh , my god . screw your apology and your flowers . flowers ? are you kidding me ? how cliché is that ? you did n't forget my birthday , johnny . you nailed another woman who hates me . and i do n't know how i missed that . i mean , my god . kate is obsessed with taking everything i care about . sonny , jax , my hotel , and now you . but you know what ? she did me a favor , because now i know you 're a cheating son of a bitch . johnny : i do n't care about kate . i do n't . and i never should have slept with her . carly : screw you ! that 's what i think about your apology ! heather : steven lars is innocent . so , why do n't you do something more productive with your time than traipse down to memphis and post bail ? maybe you could get something done with that hair of yours , missy messy pants . olivia : i have an idea . why do n't we both go together ? now that you 're not in an insane asylum anymore , you really should look like it . heather : what a great idea . olivia : in the meantime , though , we have to help steve . heather , we both know that he 's not a murderer , but the memphis police just are n't gon na take our word for it . heather : i do n't appreciate you talking down to me . i know that we need proof of steven lars ' innocence . olivia : the memphis police obviously have evidence , or they would n't have been able to get a warrant . now , we have to do everything in our power to make sure that steve does not go to prison . heather : you can go ahead and think the worst if you want . i , however , will remain optimistic . i take the high road , lady , and you know why ? because i believe in steven lars . and any woman who says she loves my son should believe in that , too . olivia : i do believe in steve , heather ! heather : in fact , i am so convinced that he is gon na be released from jail that i would n't be surprised if he walked through that door right now free as a bird ! spinelli : so , i - i sifted through , uh , footage taken from the night of the murder , and i found images from a single camera of the party boat and the murderer . felicia : [ asps oh , are you saying you have a picture of the murderer ? ! mac : why did n't you say that in the first place ? who is it ? spinelli : uh -- behold . matt : and i 'm standing next to her mother when she 's been handcuffed and hauled off , and -- you know , i 'm thinking the only -- the closest that i 'm ever gon na be to her is gon na be in a visitation cell , and i - i just -- i -- it 's , like , i feel helpless . patrick : yeah . i hear you . matt : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , patrick . i -- i 'm going on and on about this , and i - i know you 're -- patrick : matt , it 's okay . i just , i wish -- i wish there was more that i could do , but , i mean , i already talked to maxie . and i just , i do n't think there 's anything more that i can -- i can contribute . matt : no , it 's okay . i mean , if there was , i do n't think that you 'd be up to it . patrick : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? matt : well , you have n't been into work , a - and you 're not picking up your phone , and you 're avoiding all those people who call about you , and you 're barely getting yourself out of bed . patrick , you 're falling apart . kate : i take it you 've heard about my condition . elizabeth : dr. keenan said that somebody named connie attacked him . eventually , i figured out that connie and kate are the same person , aspects of you . kate : yeah , dr. keenan said i have d.i.d . dissociative identity disorder . elizabeth : it 's a pretty rare condition . kate : well , then i must be a textbook case , because he diagnosed me rather quickly . [ sniffles ] he -- he said that my personality had fragmented , that , um , that i -- that i -- i do n't know , it came from some sort of trauma , but i did n't want to believe him . i thought the whole idea seemed preposterous . elizabeth : he just wanted to help you . kate : we started diagnosing this and working with connie through hypnosis . [ sniffles ] but then we realized that she was quickly appearing more frequently , lasting longer , and she had an agenda . so , dr. keenan advised me that i check myself into a hospital so i can get treatment in a controlled environment . i - i kept putting him off because i - i - i did n't want to do it . and -- and then connie just became so powerful , and she -- she just became out of control . elizabeth : you 're not the first person to put off treatment . kate : i was too vain , or i was too afraid to commit myself when i had the chance . i waited until it was too late for dr. keenan and everyone else i hurt . carly : second thought , i appreciate the flowers . found a good use for them . johnny : you 're joking . carly : who 's joking ? johnny : you are , because i hurt you . i hurt you bad . and when we were just getting started , and we got off to a great start , and then i got stupid and angry . carly : and ? you got stupid and angry and you wanted revenge against sonny , and that 's the only reason you got involved with me to begin with . johnny : that 's not true . carly : yes , it is . johnny : no . carly : you wanted to piss him off by sleeping with his ex - wife , and you know what ? it worked for a while , johnny . it did . sonny got a few digs in . there was that big scene up in the restaurant . but then , you know , that really would n't devastate sonny . no , you needed kate for that . johnny : you kept saying that revenge on sonny was n't worth it , and you were right . i do n't give a damn how much sonny hurts now . all i care about is -- is getting you back , getting us back . carly : good . good . johnny : and i will do anything to make that happen . carly : okay . you can start by cleaning up this mess . and then you can go unscrew kate . because until you can swing that , you 're out of luck . téa : i will be handling starr 's defense alone . todd : okay , look . i did n't come all the way to port charles just to , a - as nice as this sounds , visit the museum of sanitation and racketeering . téa : no , you came to port charles because no one in llanview could stand the sight of you . todd : no , i 'm here because i love my daughter and she needs my help . téa : you do n't help people , todd . you hurt them . or worse . what starr needs is a capable defense lawyer , not a sometime father who turns his own kids into accomplices and who turns other kids into orphans . todd : okay . i get it . i get it . i understand that you are the only person on god 's great , green , expansive earth that is actually mourning victor -- téa : [ voice breaking ] do n't you dare say his name . do n't you say his name . unless you want to see your daughter spent a lot of time in pentonville , you 'll stay out of my way and let me do my job . todd : no , i do n't think so . i do n't think you 're here to help starr at all . i think you 're here to bury her . téa : [ scoffs ] mac : that 's definitely the party boat . you can just make out the name on the side , and that 's -- felicia : is that lisa niles ? mac : being bludgeoned to death with a wrench . am i hallucinating , or is the person doing the bludgeoning a dark - haired man ? felicia : not a blonde woman . mac : it 's not maxie ! no ! we can prove she 's innocent ! felicia : ha - ha ! let 's bring our girl home ! [ laughs ] so , let 's get this evidence to the d.a . , huh ? mac : yeah , well , he 'll have questions , like , you know , if -- if maxie 's not doing the attacking , who is ? patrick : i am not falling apart . i am -- i 'm grieving . matt : you need to just talk to somebody , like a - a professional . patrick : you 're off base , matt . matt : maybe i am . and maybe anna 's off base and dad and elizabeth . and emma . you do n't need to be a shrink to understand this . ca n't you see how far emma feels from you right now ? patrick : do n't talk about my daughter . matt : somebody has to . because everybody out there , all of them are afraid of intruding in on your grief , so lucky me . i get to call you out on your crap . patrick : well , at least everybody else has respected the fact that i 'm grieving . matt : you 're not -- you 're not grieving . you 're hiding . patrick : what the hell do you know about loss , matt ? how the hell can you tell me how to deal with losing my wife ? matt : what am i supposed to do ? am i supposed to just let you jump down this black hole and take emma with you ? patrick : how emma and i decide to live our life has nothing to do with you . and i did n't ask for your glib , juvenile advice . and you do n't know what i 'm dealing with ! you do n't know about loss ! matt : my girlfriend was just hauled off to prison . it 's loss . patrick : well , then go get another girlfriend . i 'm never gon na see my wife again . emma 's never gon na see her mother again . it 's a little different . matt : do you forget how much robin loved maxie ? or do you not give a damn because you 're too busy wallowing ? patrick : [ sniffles ] i 'm sorry about maxie . we both know she did n't kill lisa . so , go find out who did and leave me the hell alone . kate : i 'm praying for dr. keenan . i do n't know what i 'll do if he does n't recover . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he would n't want you to think like that . he would want you to focus on getting better . kate : you 're being very nice to me after the way i treated you . elizabeth : what do you mean ? kate : dr. keenan told me that connie caused a scene at the metro court trying to come in between the two of you . elizabeth : well , at least now i know what was going on . kate : she was so hell - bent on getting what she wanted . she did n't care who she hurt in the process . elizabeth : what did connie want ? kate : she wants to hurt sonny . and after months of trying , she got her wish . she slept with johnny . johnny : okay , do n't you think that if i could take that night back , that i would , that if i could make it so that i never slept with kate or -- or connie , whatever the hell her name is -- carly : you ca n't change what happened , so stop trying . johnny : i 'm not giving up on you . my feelings for you are as strong as they 've ever been . they 're stronger . carly : they 're so strong that you did n't think twice before jumping into bed with sonny 's girlfriend . johnny : sleeping with her was just a way to get revenge on sonny . that 's it . carly : then why did n't you just make it look like it happened ? why 'd you actually have to do it ? starr : i think we 're starting to say things that we do n't mean -- téa : what did you say to me ? todd : you heard me . i will bet you dorian lord 's fortune -- téa : are you too scared to bet your own ? todd : -- that you would be willing to throw starr 's case just to get back at me . starr : do n't be ridiculous . téa : no , no , no , starr . you found me out . now , i traveled all this way in my condition to see you put behind bars just to get back at you . todd : you see ? i told you . starr : dad -- todd : because this is how she operates . she pretended to believe the whole time that her smarmy brother killed victor when she knew the whole time that it was me . she was just trying to buy time so she could build a case against me . téa : oh , wait . wait . wait . this is gorgeous , even for you . you murder my husband , then you kidnap and frame my brother , and because i pretend to believe you , i 'm the bad guy ? todd : that should teach you a lesson , too . 'cause look at me . i 'm a free man . should teach you a little lesson about honesty . téa : sooner or later , mr . honesty , i will get another chance to put you behind bars . and when i do , i wo n't have to use starr to do it . todd : oh , so you are using starr . téa : i love this child as if she were my own . todd : so do i . and i know how that sounded , and i know that she 's mine . téa : [ chuckles ] you may say you love her , but you do n't know the meaning of the word . you never have . if you did , you would n't use your own children as human shields every time you get into trouble . you only care about using them . todd : how am i using starr right now ? i do n't need her to lie for me . i do n't need her to break me out of jail . starr : please stop -- todd : i do n't need to use her as some kind of insurance policy for the next time you and some district attorney decide you want to railroad me with a bunch of hysterical villagers -- téa : are you done ? todd : -- with pitchforks . téa : pitchforks ? are you quite finished with your performance ? starr and me , we 're the only ones here , okay ? so save your excuses and your explanations and your overblown justifications for when my child is old enough to ask why his father is dead and who made that happen , okay ? todd : okay . and i do n't have a problem telling that kid that i killed victor ! uncle todd will tell that child and you and anybody else in this world who wants to hear me that victor is dead and i 'm glad because the world is a better place without him ! téa : [ gasps ] [ gasps ] olivia : oh , my god . steve , you 're home ! i missed you so much ! steven : i missed you , too . heather : how about a hug for the woman who gave you life ? olivia : [ sighs ] yes . please . please hug your mother . heather : mmm . olivia : so , what happened ? did someone else post your bail ? steven : all the charges were dropped . they let me go . heather : see , olivia ? i told you . olivia : w - wait . they were just dropped just like that ? steven : they said there was new evidence . a confession . olivia : somebody else confessed to killing your patient ? do you know who ? steven : maggie . you know , we 're a little early for this thing ... olivia : maggie confessed ? steven : i do n't get it , either . my lawyer said that maggie sent a letter to the police department taking responsibility for the whole thing . olivia : a letter ? i do n't know what to say . i - i mean , maggie confessing is -- is just -- heather : cause for celebration ? maybe we should all go to kelly 's . blts all around ! steven : thanks , mom , but i 'm exhausted . heather : oh , come on . nonsense . we have to celebrate . my son 's name has been cleared . it 's just a shame that maggie tarnished it in the first place . frankly , i ca n't say that i 'm sorry maggie 's out of the picture . mac : i ca n't make out the attacker . felicia : can the image be enhanced ? spinelli : um , actually , i 've already brought the full weight of my expertise to bear . um , the image is , faint as it may be , is the best it 's gon na be . felicia : oh . mac : i still want my tech guys to look at it . spinelli : why bother ? mac : `` why bother ? `` spinelli , lisa 's still dead . spinelli : yeah , and maxie 's still in pentonville . should we not undertake her liberation posthaste ? felicia : oh , absolutely . we have proof that maxie did n't kill lisa niles , so let 's just get her released . finding whoever that is , that 's the d.a . 's problem . mac : the d.a . 's and mine , felicia . but you know what ? right now , i 'm off the clock . let 's go get our girl . catching lisa 's killer can wait one more day . matt : i 'm not gon na leave you alone like this . patrick : [ sighs ] matt : you 're my family . patrick : well , not anymore . i hereby absolve you of all familial obligations , so -- go find spinelli . go help maxie . i do n't care , but get the hell out . matt : patrick -- patrick : get out , matt ! kate : connie thought sonny was gon na get us -- me killed . so she came up with all these ways to remind me of the danger , all these little tricks to create misunderstandings . i think connie wanted me to break up with sonny . and when she realized that that was n't gon na work , she changed tactics . so she decided to have sonny break up with me , and she knows that sonny does not tolerate betrayal . elizabeth : that 's why she chose johnny . kate : yeah . connie knew that if sonny found me in bed with his enemy , it would destroy any affection , any love he had for me , because she knew that he would look at my face and he would always see johnny . and she was right . [ voice breaking ] sonny -- will never forgive me for this . elizabeth : well , `` never `` is a very long time . besides , it 's not like sonny has lived a blameless life . kate : oh , god . no . i hurt sonny very , very badly when we were teenagers . it took me a very long time to regain his trust , and now i 've broken it again . oh , god , i just hope that someday he will understand that i never meant to hurt him . but why should he when i ca n't even grasp it ? why should anyone understand ? elizabeth : maybe i do . carly : it 's not rocket science , johnny . you take off your clothes , you mess up your hair , you jump under the covers , sonny walks in , you guys act surprised . no muss , no fuss , no penetration . did that never even occur to you ? right . johnny : no , connie could n't risk sonny figuring it out . she thought the only way it would work is if we actually did -- carly : connie is not real . and even if kate has this d.i.d . thing , connie 's not real . so man up and stop blaming someone who does n't exist ! johnny : okay . great . if she does n't exist , then i - i could n't have slept with her , right ? so , problem solved . carly : you slept with someone , johnny . you slept with someone ! you slept with kate ! did you know she had a split personality ? ! did you ? ! t - that connie was doing things that kate supposedly did n't know anything about ? ! johnny : yeah , i guess . carly : you had sex with a woman who was completely checked out . do you know what that makes you ? a rapist . téa : how dare you talk about my husband that way ? ! you murdered victor in cold blood ! todd : no . i did n't . you were at the trial . you heard the expert witness . téa : ugh ! todd : i was not responsible for my actions . téa : oh , when are you ever responsible for your actions ? parade as many experts as you want in front of me . you knew exactly what you were doing when you broke into my home , pointed a gun at my husband , and shot him dead . todd : post - traumatic stress disorder does not just happen to soldiers in war . sometimes it happens to people whose mothers kidnap them and torture them and hold them captive for eight , long years . téa : yes , i know . eight years . that 's your excuse for everything , todd . todd : eight years , that bastard victor lived my life -- and loved all of the people that i care about . blair and starr and jack and yes , delgado , you . i know you do n't want to hear this , and for the life of me , i can not remember right at this moment why , but i missed you . téa : [ sighs ] todd : and i will never shed a single tear for poor , dead victor . but i am sorry that you are in pain right now . téa : do you want to know what you can do with your apology ? todd : if you want to blame somebody , blame my psycho mother , may she rot in hell . but you leave me out of it . téa : oh , so -- so that 's it ? you 're telling me to get over it ? todd : yeah , pretty much . that 's what i 'm telling you to do . felicia : spinelli , thank you so much for your detective work . maxie always speaks so highly of you . georgie did , too . i can see why . mac : i , uh , i know i 've given you a hard time over the years , but you 've really come through on this . i owe you . felicia : no , we both do . spinelli : my only wish was to exonerate maxie . someone so aglow and full of heart should not be languishing in darkness . for her , i would do just about anything . felicia : i 'm glad you did . matt : what 's going on ? olivia : what do you mean , maggie 's out of the picture ? heather : well , is n't it obvious ? maggie confessed . they 're probably arresting her as we speak . and then they will take her someplace far , far away where she will never , ever hurt anyone again . i 'm gon na go freshen up . we 'll be on our way to kelly 's in no time . steven : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] olivia : honey , it 's so good to see your face . steven : you 're a sight for sore eyes yourself . hmm . olivia : every time i think that you almost spent the rest of your life in prison because of johnny , i just -- steven : what about johnny ? olivia : did you not know ? he 's the one that turned you in to the memphis police . but do n't you worry . i 'm gon na pay him back double . steven : you know what ? do n't . do n't bother . just -- just let johnny be . olivia : what ? let him be ? after what he did to you ? steven : i 'm more worried about what 's gon na happen to maggie . olivia : you 're right . that -- that just does n't make any sense . she did n't have anything to do with your patient dying . why would she confess to this ? steven : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . téa : arrogant son of a bitch . you want to make a deal ? todd : what kind of a deal ? téa : [ chuckles ] i 'll get over losing victor when you get over losing your family . oh . oh , wait . that 's not really a fair deal . because you can always worm your way back into their good graces . todd : well , they say that everybody 's good at one thing . téa : yeah , you are good at that one thing . but a reunion for victor and me , that 's never gon na happen . all i have left of him is this child , a child that i will raise by myself . todd : you 're not alone . you 're not . téa : i do n't have my baby 's father ! todd : you 've got your brother with the funny name . téa : okay , now shut up ! get out ! i ca n't stand the sight of you ! todd : door 's right there . téa : [ sighs ] i 'm here to help starr . get out . she needs me , all right ?

[ cabinet door closes ] alexis : [ sighs ] sam : ... to make sure you 're okay . and you must be relieved to have been released from lockup . alexis : yeah , the only reason i was detained was because anna thought it was easier to point the finger at me than herself . she was unhinged . she practically arm - twisted the uniform to bring me in there . sam : okay , well , what happened ? alexis : [ clears throat ] nothing . sam : `` nothing `` -- mom , i have spent my fair share of time being detained . even if they go easy on you and they 're nice to you , it 's not -- it 's not just nothing . alexis : she was really confrontational . she was relentless , and she was hurtful . she brought up alcazar . she brought up kiefer . she painted me as an unrepentant , homicidal maniac , which is absurd . sam : yeah , well , w - what was your response to that ? alexis : unfortunately , the preliminary autopsy report on hale garrett showed no foul play . so , it 's consistent with an accidental overdose . sam : well , i think something must have happened . why else would you have ordered an autopsy in the middle of the night ? alexis : i was being thorough . sam : mom , you 're lying to yourself . alexis : honey , please . i 'm -- sam : i do not think you should defend carlos rivera . i want you to stop .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i already had this conversation with molly . she 's young enough to deal with things in just absolutes . i was hoping for a little more understanding from you . sam : i understand that you 're compromising yourself by defending carlos so he wo n't testify against dad . alexis : you 're making a lot of assumptions . sam : really ? am i , mom ? why else would you defend a dirtbag like carlos , the man who shot kristina 's father , who kidnapped molly 's boyfriend ? and do n't you dare lecture me that he has a right to a vigorous defense , because that 's not going to fly with me any more than it did with molly . you are doing damage control . but it 's not your problem to solve . if dad ordered duke 's death , this is his mess to clean up , not yours . alexis : i do n't want his past to jeopardize everything that we have . sam : [ scoffs ] do you want me to say it out loud ? because i will . dad ordered carlos to kill duke . and i do n't care how many times he tries to deny it . i do n't care how many times he tries to tell you that he has changed . he has not changed . just because he says he is this new , wonderful person , it does not redeem what he 's done in the past . i am no lawyer , but i 'm pretty sure that 's why there 's no statute of limitations on murder . alexis : given what jason 's done , you are in no position to judge your father . sam : mom , i am not going to get side - tracked on all the reasons why jason and my father are absolutely nothing alike . i did n't -- i did n't come here to fight with you . i came here , because i love you , and i 'm worried about you . and i think you are in way over your head . alexis : i assure you i 'm following the law . i 'm doing my job as an attorney . sam : you are ? is that why you called for an autopsy report in the middle of the night -- business as usual ? or did you do that because you want to see if dad was the one who killed that witness ? [ footsteps approach ] julian : sam ? why do n't you ask me that question and leave your mother out of it ? [ scene_break ] lulu : tracking down nathan 's ex is not the path to happily ever after . dredging up a past that he wants left there is a huge mistake . maxie : lulu ... he wo n't talk about her , and i ca n't stand not knowing . lulu : i 'm speaking from experience , okay ? maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : bringing up the past , it does n't change it , and it does n't make it any better . so , what ? nathan has an ex he does n't want to talk about . he adores you . maxie : i do n't doubt that nathan loves me , but i 'll be damned if i let some awful woman who hurt nathan become the unseen third person in our marriage . you have to understand this . think about what you went through with dante and ... valerie . lulu : exactly . look at all the hell i just went through . dante and valerie , they were over . [ scoffs ] a - and i kept imagining some hot romance , because i could n't let it go . maxie : your trust had been violated . you had a right to your doubts . lulu : and now dante and valerie are over . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : and i believe that completely , and i have made peace with that . valerie lives in the same town as us . she works at the same place as dante . this claudette person lives in new york ! nathan does n't even talk to her . maxie : okay , so i should just let it go ? lulu : i did . maxie : [ sighs ] lulu : and now i have this whole life ahead of me with dante . maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : h - how did you get involved in this ? jason : [ groans ] i was out for a ride on my bike , and the van swerved in my lane . i tried to avoid him , but i did n't quite do it . dante : [ groans ] what happened ? what happened to -- you do n't know what happened to west and rivera ? jason : no , man . dante : [ sighs ] jason : i dropped my bike . i was unconscious for a while . when i came to , there was no one in the van except for the driver , and unfortunately he did n't make it .

[ receiver clacks ] anna : how did carlos escape ? why the hell was he even being transferred ? jordan : it was n't even my idea . and by the way , i - i did n't have to notify you , okay ? so , you maybe just should show a little appreciation instead of just storming in here and demanding answers . anna : okay . sorry . i 'm sorry . thank you for looping me in . jordan : you 're welcome . anna : what do we know ? jordan : [ sighs ] dante falconeri and detective west were transporting the prisoner . officer ballard was driving . and this is all just preliminary . i do n't actually have anybody on the scene as yet , but it appears that there was an accident . rivera fled on foot , and west is pursuing . i 'm setting up roadblocks , because it is my best guess that rivera , he 's going to try to get a ride out of town . anna : unless he has one waiting . jordan : no , this transfer happened just way too last - minute . there 's no way that carlos tried to notify anyone . anna : yeah , but somehow he got out of the cuffs , you know ? does he have a weapon ? paul : you know , the manhunt for rivera might be premature . this might well be a random traffic accident . anna : are you positive it 's random ? or did you orchestrate the whole thing ? [ scene_break ] julian : your mother [ sighs ] is above reproach , and i 'm not going to , under any circumstances , allow you to blame her for choosing to defend carlos . sam : what i say to my mother is my business . [ cell phone ringing ] alexis : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] oscar , what is it . what 'd you find ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis : what ? ! h - how ? no . i 'll be right there . [ sighs ] carlos just escaped while being transferred to another facility -- a transfer that i was not advised about . i 've got to get dressed . sam : it 's okay . i got to talk to dad anyway . alexis : please remember who you two are to each other and what this family means to all of us . please . julian : so , i suppose you think i had something to do with carlos ' escape , as well ? [ scene_break ] sonny : what are you talking about ? alexis never wanted me . carly : [ laughing ] oh , where do you think kristina came from ? sonny : well , that 's -- you know what i mean . i mean , that was a one - time thing . alexis never , you know , misses a chance to tell me how much she regretted it . carly : alexis regrets that you did n't fall into line and change your wicked ways just to please her . sonny : all right . carly : she wanted to be the one who reformed you , who changed the dangerous , sexy mobster into a house husband who folds laundry and cooks her dinner . [ laughs ] sonny : well , you know what ? i - i only cook on special occasions . a - and basically for people who are very special to me . carly : mm , lucky me . mm , you know what ? sonny : what ? carly : alexis just could n't admit that the affair was over and move on . she could n't do that . no , alexis had to turn it into a moral crusade . she was never going to have anything to do with the mob again . sonny : right . carly : until julian . and all of the sudden , all the morals go out the window , because alexis finally has a mobster of her own , one that keeps telling her that he has reformed , that he has changed . and she eats that up with a spoon . sonny : [ chuckling ] are you finished ? [ laughs ] carly : do you disagree with me ? sonny : no , i agree . it 's just that i - i 'm less worried about alexis defending carlos , and more worried about that she 's actually good enough to get him off . carly : what -- what are you gon na do if that happens ? sonny : now -- now you sound like ... you sound like jason asking a question that you do n't want to hear the answer to . carly : okay , all right . sonny : [ chuckles ] carly : is that why jason was here , you know ... asking you those questions ? sonny : uh ... carly ... carly : i was surprised . sonny : ... j - jason is just , like -- i do n't know . hm . he 's conflicted , i guess . he wants -- he thinks that i -- that i 'm gon na make him do my dirty work . carly : okay . sonny : you know what i mean ? carly : all right , since jumping up and down , yelling and screaming , and hitting him is n't going to work ... we got to give him time . i ca n't believe i 'm saying that , but we have to give him time . let him trust his instincts . we need to let his memory bring him back to us , sonny . sonny : mm - hmm .

carly : so you 're not going to leave to rescue jerry this time ? jax : absolutely not . i made a commitment to you and the boys and i 'm staying right and jerry can fend for himself . carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i freaked out . it just makes me crazy to think of jerry in this house talking to the boys , and telling them not to say anything to us . jax : look , michael and morgan are my stepsons , okay -- [ carly sighs ] jax : and i 'll protect them from anyone -- even my own brother if i have to . [ scene_break ] jerry : i knew that poisoning nikolas would n't serve as leverage for so long . although , i must confess that i did n't expect you to duplicate the counteragent so quickly . patrick : we were motivated -- you were poisoning our friend . jerry : oh , your loyalty is so touching -- part of the reason why i needed a new form of leverage , which , thanks to intern emily , i now have . robin : no , it wo n't work , because i 'm going to call the police right now and tell them that you forced emily to open a bank account and accept the wire transfer . nikolas : go get security , tell them to seal the doors . jerry : you may want to rethink that . you see , the american government wo n't take it lightly if they know that emily accepted a transfer of funds from -- how do they say this -- `` an enemy of the state `` ? you see , emily is a co- conspirator in espionage , and since she 's an american citizen and handled the transaction on u.s. soil , she 's liable for treason -- a crime , quaintly enough , punishable by death in your country . such barbaric laws . [ scene_break ] sonny : the less you know about my plans for alcazar the better . skye : all i 'm asking is that you hold off till i can convince lorenzo to give me my daughter back . it 's already starting to work . i think he 's beginning to trust me again . sonny : do what you have to do . as soon as you get lila back , you 'll never have to worry about her father again . [ scene_break ] lucky : you -- you saved elizabeth and my baby , and i 'll always be grateful . but you do n't get to decide if my son stays in the hospital nursery or not . jason : i 'm not going to argue with you , lucky . i just want to see what 's best , you know , for -- elizabeth : jason -- lucky : oh , thank god . hey . [ scene_break ] skye : i owe you an apology . sonny : for what ? skye : during the whole metro court ordeal , when you and carly were being held hostage and fighting for your lives , i withheld important information to protect lorenzo . i just never thought that he 'd lie to me . i 'm stupid , and it was naive . your children could 've ended up as orphans because i was stupid enough to protect the man who 's now stolen my daughter . sonny : alcazar knows how to manipulate women . he did it to carly , now he 's done it to you . skye : yeah . well , never again . turns out carly was right . sonny : about what ? skye : you 've never done anything like this to carly , and you never would . [ scene_break ] jax : and michael said that he and morgan were on the stairs and they heard jerry talking to my mother , and they heard so much about him they wanted to meet him . obviously , jerry turned on the charm , and he made a game out of it with the boys , telling them that his visit was to remain a secret . carly : mm - hmm . i 'm just glad michael had sense enough to tell us the truth . jax : yeah . carly : they need to know that they have to come to us with the truth -- and their father , which means sonny 's going to find out about jerry 's visit . jax : well , first , i 'd like to know why jerry was here . [ scene_break ] jerry : i 'm very , very pleased by these turn of events . i mean , you 're a far more valuable asset than nikolas ever was , and -- and much prettier . nikolas : i 've given you a new identity , a place to stay . you 're conducting business under the umbrella of cassadine -- jerry : oh , no reason to be jealous -- you were certainly useful in your own way . nikolas : i transferred millions of dollars into an account under your new identity . why implicate emily in this ? jerry : well , unfortunately , michael corinthos jr. and his humorless but very efficient gunman do n't give a damn if you die of poison , but they will move heaven and earth to save emily from a state - ordered execution . you see , emily 's participation in high crimes and misdemeanors could prove to be a very , very valuable bargaining chip . patrick : well , why do n't you just take the money and leave ? jerry : i do n't know . perhaps i like you too much . till next time . patrick : you 've got to be kidding me . we finally have this thing solved , we find the counteragent to the poison , and now this . robin : hey -- i would 've done the same thing if i was in emily 's position . patrick : i 'm not blaming emily . it 's just we were finally out from this guy 's grip . emily : i knew what i was walking into . it was worth it to protect him . nikolas : except craig now holds your life in his hands , emily . [ scene_break ] spinelli : he looks most peaceful and content in your arms . lulu : yeah , well , i pray that elizabeth makes it , because this baby can not grow up without his mother . spinelli : yeah . the small stone cold one needs his father , too . lulu : which would be lucky . spinelli : look , the little guy must -- he deserves to know the truth , okay ? and so does your brother , and so do jason and elizabeth -- lulu : elizabeth could be dying . spinelli : yeah , exactly . and that 's why the small stone cold one should be with his real father . lulu : look , spinelli , biology does n't make a dad . it 's about love and caring , and being there day to day , staying up all night when your kid is sick , and -- and going to soccer games and going to school pageants where your kid plays the tomato , okay -- stuff i never had , so i know how much it means , and lucky 's going to do that and more . he 's going to be an amazing father . spinelli : yeah , so would stone cold . lulu : well , elizabeth chose lucky to be the father . spinelli : you know -- huh -- it actually physically hurts me to disagree with you , but -- oh , god -- you do n't choose a father , you know ? someone just is , or they 're not , and stone cold most definitely is . come on , look , he even -- huh -- his progeny even looks like him . lulu : he looks like a baby . spinelli : oh , come on . the blond one is denying what 's right in front of her eyes . lulu : okay , yeah , fine -- the kid has blue eyes , but guess what -- so did my mom , so everyone 's going to think that -- that he inherited them from her . spinelli : but he did n't . he did n't , and he deserves to know that , okay ? and besides , i 'm sure his real father would be happy to go to a pageant of vegetables . lulu : well , he agreed to let lucky raise this baby . spinelli : stone cold was thinking about what 's good for everyone else when he made that decision , but it was too much for elizabeth to ask . [ scene_break ] lucky : you came back to us , elizabeth . i knew you would . you just have so much to live for -- our family , you , me , cameron , our beautiful baby . elizabeth : what happened ? lucky : you passed out , and jason found you on the floor and he brought you here . we owe him our baby 's life . jason : excuse me ? can you page dr. lee and tell her that elizabeth spencer woke up ? elizabeth : i held him , did n't i ? i -- when i woke up , jason was in the room with him , the baby in his arms . lucky : yeah . i came in here and held our child . the three of us were finally together -- you , me , and our baby . elizabeth : i remember that , too . lucky : then you -- you passed out . you had emergency surgery , but you -- but you made it , elizabeth . we have our -- our whole lives ahead of us . elizabeth : is the baby in the nursery ? lucky : they told me to send the baby home . but i would n't , because i wanted us to all leave this hospital together .

i 'm -- i saw you at the trial . you 're sonny 's girlfriend . sonny : i 'm not doing this for kate . i need this to go away for me and my kids . alexis : oh , i get it . this is all about damage control . sonny : if the press gets ahold of this , i 'm on the front page . that 's not good for my family . that 's not good for the business . alexis : well , as the mother of one of your children , i - i really appreciate your desire to spare us . but `` a , `` you 're not that selfless , and `` b , `` that 's not why you want me to represent her . admit it . you 're still in love with her . dante : lulu ?

you do n't even call me ? lulu : i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to worry you . i just , i wanted to come here and assess the damage before i had to call insurance . and they 're obviously gon na need a write - up and all the photos from the police . dante : baby , you were -- you were kidnapped and held at gunpoint and shot in the last 24 hours . i think the insurance claim can wait , do n't you ? lulu : i 'm not gon na sit at home and , like , wait around while you serve me téa . dante : no one said anything about serving you téa . i just think you can hang out places other than the place you almost died . lulu : i 'm gon na come home . i promise . i just need to make a couple calls . dante : you can make calls from home , right ? lulu : am i grounded ? dante : okay . all right . lulu : why are n't you at work ? dante : i got hayes to cover my shift . lulu : any chance you 're avoiding writing up everything that ronnie did ? dante : i already put everything down in triplicate . i - i just ca n't believe it 's the same guy i 've known most of my life . lulu : i know . have you told sonny that ronnie was the one who shot him in the garage ? dante : no . not yet . lulu : you need to find him face to face and tell him before he starts a mob war with the zaccharas . dante : all right . luke : she 's right . you should do that right away . i 'll stay here , make sure she gets home okay . dante : look at this . i 'm getting , uh , double - teamed here , huh ? just take it easy , okay ? i know you said you only needed stitches , but getting shot can mess with your head . love you . luke : so , darling . you want to tell your old papa what this is really about ?

[ grunting ] heather : this is taking too long . olivia : what ? you got somewhere you need to be ? heather : [ scoffs ] you do n't care what happens to her , do you ? no . that 's right . she dated steven lars in memphis . you probably hope she dies . olivia : how can you say that to me ? heather : i 'm his mother . i 've seen you around him . you 're possessive . you do n't like to share . olivia : you know what , heather ? we 're both very upset . let 's just leave it at that . heather : well , i , for one , am not just gon na stand here . [ flatline ] steven : [ grunting ] doctor : she 's been down too long . steven : come on , maggie . dr. webber . dr. webber , there 's nothing more you can do . she 's gone . steven : aah ! doctor : she 's gone . steven : [ panting ] time of death -- 3 : 25 . heather : you did everything you could , steven lars . steven : i should have been able to save her life . heather : it 's not your fault maggie died . olivia : why do n't you go find steve some coffee ? heather : if steve wanted coffee . olivia : i am so sorry . steven : [ sobs ] olivia : i 'm so sorry . your mother is right . honey , this is not your fault . steven : how could she do this ? i mean , why would she take pills ? olivia : maybe she felt guilty . steven : for what ? ! i am the one who pulled the plug on that patient in memphis . olivia : you did not act in a vacuum , okay ? you and maggie were so close . you probably did a lot of talking about the injustice of -- of her patient being so sick while your patient was just a burden on society . steven : it was my decision . olivia : yeah , but maybe she felt like she played a part . honey , she obviously helped you cover it up . she did n't say anything for you so that you would n't lose your license . steven : put her own license and she -- she would n't do that , confess to some crime that she did n't commit ? and she sure as hell would n't try to take her own life . maggie was a lot of things , but suicidal ? never . luke : dante is right . you 've been through a lot . lulu : i 'm fine . luke : kidnapped , threatened , shot . could have gone either way . lulu : but it did n't . luke : it still makes an impression . lulu : if you let it . luke : oh , come on , darling . please . do n't con a con . did n't i teach you that ? lulu : [ chuckles ] you taught me ice - fishing , so i do n't think that applies . luke : ice - fishing . always with the damn ice - fishing . why do you always bring that up ? lulu : because it was one of my favorite memories . luke : well , that 's what all this is gon na be soon . just a fading memory . lulu : i 'm not so sure . luke : do n't let the bastard win , lulu . do n't let this change you . lulu : it already has . when ronnie held that gun in my face , i 've never felt more alive in my life . carly : your other ex - wife ? todd : uh , yeah . my , um , my first ex - wife , blair , asked my second ex - wife , téa delgado , to come here because téa is , among other things , a - an excellent attorney . carly : oh . todd : full disclosure ? carly : that would be refreshing . todd : she 's also my brother 's widow . carly : so , your ex - wife married your brother ? todd : it 's a small town . i - in fairness , she did think that he was me . carly : you guys are identical twins ? todd : well , not identical . not much of anything anymore , really , 'cause he 's dead . carly : 'cause you killed him . todd : i did , but i was suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder at the time , and i do n't really even remember shooting the guy . carly : you know , my ex - husband 's girlfriend slept with my boyfriend , so who am i to judge ? todd : ah . i 'm up to speed . that -- that -- that 's , uh , that 's johnny , i guess . carly : that 's johnny . yep . and , uh , sonny has this -- had this girlfriend , kate howard . todd : oh . oh , kate howard . editor - in - chief of the crimson . carly : yeah . i walked in on johnny and kate in bed together . todd : oh . you live in a small town , too . carly : hmm . did i mention that kate has a split personality ? todd : no . carly : yeah . see , she 's claiming that she has something called dissociative identity disorder , otherwise known as d.i.d . bet you never heard of that one . starr : you were arrested ? for what ? she attacked her shrink . téa : i want some assurances that my client wo n't be sharing a cell with a violent offender . violent offender ? your client pulled a gun on sonny corinthos . téa : allegedly , officer . she has n't been convicted of anything . kate : wait , is -- is sonny all right ? starr : he 's fine . unfortunately , cole and hope are not . kate : starr , i know you think that sonny is to blame . but he did not cause that accident . starr : do n't even try to blame johnny for it , because there 's no way he shot out his own grandfather 's tires . kate : all i know is that sonny is innocent . starr : well , if it was n't him and it was n't johnny , then who was it ? alexis : you know , sometimes when you 're in love -- sonny : she was with johnny . alexis : if dr. keenan 's diagnosis is correct , it was n't kate who was with johnny . it was connie who was with johnny . sonny : even if that 's all true , it does n't give you a green light to sleep around . alexis : you remember way back i did a little research on d.i.d . ? it 's very serious . it 's very rare . but if she has it , she 's not responsible . sonny : her body was in bed with johnny . i saw her with my own two eyes . alexis : was her mind and her heart there ? sonny : she crossed a line . i ca n't come back from that . i do n't know how . alexis : and yet , you want me to represent her . sonny : 'cause you 're on retainer , so you got to keep yourself busy . alexis : you know , it 's really okay to feel some compassion . sonny : just do it . alexis : okay . sonny : and do me a favor . do not tell her that i sent you . alexis : all right . fine . i wo n't . dante : oh . i really hope this is a social visit . alexis : no , it 's business , although he 's not the defendant -- this time . dante : i heard starr manning tried to kill you last night . sonny : she did n't pull the trigger . i 'm still healing from last time i got shot . zaccharas never paid for that one , did they ? dante : and they 're not going to . sonny : you were the target that night . was n't me . anybody who takes a shot at one of my kids , they ai n't getting away with it . dante : yeah , the zaccharas were n't the ones who were gunning for me . nurse : may i help you ? heather : yes . i 'm dr. steven lars webber 's mother . nurse : how is he doing ? i was so sorry to hear about the arrest . heather : steven lars has been cleared of any wrongdoing , so you , young lady , you should stop dragging his name through the mud . nurse : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't know -- heather : just go get his mail . i 'm sure his inbox is overflowing . nurse : okay . heather : [ sighs ] nurse : [ sighs ] heather : have you been following the case of this doctor 's murder ? yeah , i believe steven lars knew the victim , lisa niles . it says here that the murderer , maxie jones , hired a forger to take a fake suicide note to make it look like someone else committed the crimes . hmm . now , there 's a girl after my own heart . nurse : [ sighs ] thanks . if there 's anything else i can do -- heather : trust me . you 've done enough already . nurse : dr. webber , toxicology just sent up the results . dr. wurth had a lethal amount of beta blockers in her system . olivia : beta blockers ? steven : they use it to treat hypertension , which maggie did n't have . olivia : well , how 'd she get the pills ? doctor : i ran a trace on the pill bottle the paramedics found at dr. wurth 's apartment . it 's a match for a prescription that was reported missing from the e.r . steven : maggie would n't steal medication . olivia : when were they reported missing ? last monday . i checked the log , and dr. wurth was on duty at the time . steven : so , what are you saying ? that she was planning on killing herself for the past few days ? i did n't know the woman . i 'm just telling you what they found . heather : i 'm so sorry about your friend . i wanted to do something useful . i figured you really did n't want coffee , so i picked up your mail . steven : thanks , mom . heather : you 've been gone for days . i - i thought there might be something important . steven : [ sighs ] olivia : what ? honey , what is it ? steven : this is maggie 's handwriting . lulu : you 're thinking that i should have spent the night in shadybrook instead of g.h . , because who in their right mind would get a thrill out of being held up at gunpoint . luke : hold on . who are you talking to here ? of course not . if anybody realizes how exhilarating it can be to look down the wrong end of a gun barrel , it 's me . [ sighs ] but answer me this . were you thrilled to be shot ? lulu : no . obviously not . i - i do n't have a death wish . i do n't like pain . luke : well , that 's reassuring . lulu : i just mean that it was clarifying . luke : clarifying ? lulu : wh - when someone holds a gun to your face , you pay attention . last night , i was completely in the moment . luke : facing your mortality will do that , but i also hear that yoga and meditation can achieve that . lulu : you 're seriously gon na try and convince me that i should consider yoga and meditation ? dad , you and ethan do this all the time . you live for the chase and turning tables and having the upper hand . luke : that 's true . your brother and i do share a fondness for tricky situations . but i do n't recommend it . lulu : 'cause i 'm a girl ? nothing in my life has ever made me feel -- like i did last night . luke : are you sure you 're not working just a little bit too hard to be okay with all this ? lulu : i am more than okay . for the first time in my life , i finally realize what i 've been missing all these years . todd : johnny 's an idiot . cheating on a woman like you . carly : a woman like me ? todd : yeah . you 're smart . you 're successful , sexy . carly : you really want your room at a discount , do n't you ? todd : i really want my room at a discount . carly : [ chuckles ] todd : truly , what was he thinking ? carly : he was n't , right ? `` did n't mean to hurt you , carly . i only wanted to hurt someone else . i 'm really , really sorry , `` you know ? todd : it 's kind of what we do , you know ? all of us , we -- we all hurt the people that we say we care about the most . carly : you 're not suggesting i take johnny back , are you ? starr : i know that johnny did n't do it . and you say that sonny did n't , either , so who was it that caused the accident that killed my family ? alexis : do n't say another word . kate : what are you doing here ? alexis : representing you . kate : i did n't ask for a lawyer . alexis : today 's your lucky day . will you go in there so i can talk to you ? i 'd like a word with my client , please . what are you doing here ? téa : do n't answer her . i 'm téa delgado , miss manning 's attorney . alexis : i know that name . you 're from llanview , right ? out - of - towner . alexis davis . téa : your reputation precedes you . mouthpiece for the mob . kate : did sonny send you here ? dante : it took me too long to see the truth in ronnie , and my stupid blind spot almost got lulu killed . sonny : dante , you gon na -- you gon na beat yourself up over this ? you gon na -- you gon na , uh , blame yourself for not being psychic ? you gon na go down that dark road ? you start going down that dark road , you -- you start getting angry and -- ca n't do that . you got to let that go . you understand what i 'm saying ? dante : w - what am i supposed to do ? let it -- let it go ? my -- my wife was almost killed because of me . sonny : you bury it . ronnie 's dead . whatever anger , whatever you feel inside , you bury it with him . you have to be grateful for what you got . dante : [ sighs ] sonny : lulu 's still with you , right ? dante : yeah . last night was terrible for her . and even if i think i can get past it , i do n't know if she can . lulu : i 've been trying to find something that i care about outside of my marriage . it has nothing to do with dante . it 's about what i want to do with myself , what i 'm good at . and it turns out , i can think under pressure and i can react in a crisis situation . just like you . luke : that is very gratifying . but , you know , you do n't have to -- you do n't have to prove anything . lulu : [ laughs ] no . i need you to understand . this -- all my life , i 've been luke and laura 's daughter , and i have n't been able to find myself outside of that . i 've had no passion . i 've had no purpose . i 've felt incomplete . [ sighs ] and last night , it felt like it was the first time that i was finally living my life . does that make any sense ? luke : well , yeah , it makes a lot of sense to me , but i was born with a thrill- seeking gene . lulu : well , so was i . think it just took a little longer for me to embrace it . luke : so , now . what are you gon na do with it ? olivia : [ voice breaking ] `` if you 're reading this `` -- [ sniffles ] -- `` you 're back home and the charges against you have been dropped . and you 're probably wondering why i confessed . and the short answer is , it was the right thing to do . you have so much to live for . you have a family who loves you , a mother who needs you . i never mattered to anyone until i met you . `` [ sniffles ] `` you taught me what it means to be loved . and more importantly , you 've shown me every day we were together . now it 's my turn to show you . love always , maggie . `` alexis : i know about the attack on dr. keenan . kate : who told you ? sonny ? alexis : i heard it on the news . kate : oh . alexis : the police claim they recovered the print off the paperweight that used -- kate : i did n't do that . alexis : connie did . kate : how do you know about connie ? alexis : we need to establish your condition so we can -- kate : listen , why are you here ? did sonny tell you to come here ? alexis : i talked to the doctor who examined you at the hospital . kate : my records are private , alexis . alexis : i said that i was your attorney . unethical , perhaps , but effective . kate , i know about your d.i.d . i know that you are n't aware of the things that connie does . kate : i , uh , i have these blackouts . i - i lose chunks of time .

[ sighs ] i think we 've gotten a little off ... subject here , mom . okay ? liesl is n't the problem . the job is n't the problem . nina is the problem . since i 've lost her , i 'm starting to feel the same way i felt before they removed the tumor . been -- been having very dark thoughts , and i do n't know how to stop them . i think the only thing that would stop them is if i could win nina back , but i do n't know how to do that . i -- i painted her portrait , but she did n't like it . heather : [ scoffs ] franco : i -- i do n't know what to do . heather : well , she does n't appreciate art . the ungrateful whore . franco : okay , stop ! you 're talking about a woman i love . do n't -- do n't badmouth her . tell me how to win her back . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , i just told your father , and now i 'm gon na tell you -- if the police ca n't find carlos for whatever reason , you need to cut your losses . michael : we ca n't just let him go . carly : yes , you can ! yes , you can , because it 's not your job to see that carlos pays any more than it 's your father 's , okay ? . michael , sometimes people do bad things , and -- and they just get away with it . but you ca n't poison your life by chasing revenge . and you , sonny ... you have so much to be thankful for . sonny : yeah . carly : you do . i mean , the fact that you 're living to see another birthday , that you 're able to stand and walk , and you have your kids and your family around you . [ avery crying through baby monitor ] carly : listen to her . she feels the same way . [ crying continues ] michael : [ sighs ] sonny : i do n't want you talking about carlos in front of your mother . it upsets her . michael : yeah . um , i went to see him . i know . are you having me watched ? sonny : i had carlos watched , and i was advised that you went to visit him . michael : carlos wanted me to break him out in exchange for telling me where sabrina and the baby are . jason talked me down . now , was that your idea ? sonny : michael , i pointed him in your direction , which proves that your mother 's right . carlos is trouble that none of us need . you just got to leave it alone . michael : are you ? sonny : i 'm here , are n't i ? home with the family . [ scene_break ] julian : what 's going on ? alexis : i tried to reassure commissioner ashford that if you had heard from or seen carlos , that you would let them know . officer : have you ? julian : no . no , uh , not a word . as a matter of fact , my wife , alexis , and my daughter can vouch for me . i was with alexis for most of the evening , and my daughter , after my wife left . officer : we have a warrant to search your home . julian : [ scoffs ] it 's unbelievable . but , hey , you know , listen , if you want to waste your time looking for carlos here , be my guest .

[ scene_break ] nina : when franco gave me this , he said he was in a dark place , but i just thought it was specific to me and our breakup . kiki : it might have started that way , but franco is definitely spiraling . nina : [ sighs ] kiki : he needs you , nina , to ground him . i certainly ca n't do it . please . will you just go to him ? nina : unh - unh . kiki : please . nina : i ca n't do that . dillon : nina , come on . it 's obvious that you miss him . i mean , you ca n't even sleep in a real bed without him beside you . nina : oh , hon . we waited a really long time to have sex ... dillon : oh . nina : ... and when we finally did , it was [ sighs ] great . kiki : okay , that is tmi . nina : oh , sorry . we ca n't talk about sex ? we 're all adults here . we ca n't talk about sex ? it 's beautiful . under the covers , we were so close , and , um , nothing could tear us apart . nothing . if only we 'd stayed in bed . [ chuckles ] right ? [ scene_break ] heather : i am so flattered that you want my advice . but , truthfully , i 've never really been able to hold onto any of the men i 've been involved with . i 'm not quite sure why . franco : it 's a total mystery . i can not believe that i 'm actually here trying to get relationship advice from you . the thing is , i 've ... i 've come to accept recently that ... you and i are a lot more alike than i care to admit . heather : you really are a splendid son . i ca n't believe the way you 've turned out , especially considering who your father is . although scotty did have his charms . i remember the exact night you were conceived . franco : no , no . heather : we had so much -- franco : please , please . please spare me the details . please . heather : why ? scotty and i were at our best in bed -- away from the rest of the world , just the two of us . franco : nina and i are kind of the same . heather : well , there you have it . you want to be happy ? get nina back between the sheets .

jax : thanks for agreeing to meet me . i know that you 're in the middle of a trial . justus : we 're in recess . what do you need ? jax : i need your legal services . justus : mine ? why ? jax : because i think you 're the man for the job . justus : look , i appreciate your vote of confidence , but i 'm sonny 's attorney . now , to say the two of you do n't get along would be a vast understatement . jax : well , my interests do n't conflict with sonny 's . justus : let me be the judge of that . why do n't you tell me what you need ? jax : sam mccall is pregnant . i believe that i 'm the father , and i want a court order for a paternity test to be sure . [ scene_break ] sister mary : and what about the mother ? sam : someone strong and loving like the father . her focus needs to be on the children , and everything else should be secondary . a woman with a sense of humor , maybe even sort of a silly side . sister mary : mm - hmm . sam : a mom who enjoys laughing with her kids and who will kind of make her kids laugh , too , you know ? sister mary : that 's a remarkably specific description . so much so , it is clear this family actually exists . since you 're obviously acquainted , why do n't you call them and ask them to raise your child ? sam : i 'm sorry , but that 's not possible because the family that i just described to you is already taken by the man i think got me pregnant .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i am asking the court to dismiss mr. corinthos as a witness . he is neither a partner nor does he have any interest in the haunted star . he is a patron that frequents it on occasion , so i think it 's safe to assume that there is no testimony of his that could be relevant to this case . mr. lansing brought him in here as an attempt to intimidate me personally . ric : with all due respect , your honor , opposing counsel seems to think that the world revolves around her . try to grasp this , ok -- we are not here to work through some sort of imaginary vendetta that you seem to think that i have against you . we are here to prosecute your client for money laundering , all right ? i put mr. corinthos on the stand because he can knowledgeably speak to mrs. rosco 's history of criminal activity . judge : your motion is denied , ms. davis . continue with the witness . ric : thank you . now , mr. corinthos , is it safe to say that after that one night of sex with ms. davis -- alexis : objection ! ric : it has had lasting consequences ? alexis : your honor , counsel just got through saying that he was n't interested in my personal life -- ric : your honor , how am i supposed to build a foundation if ms. davis keeps leaping to her feet , shrieking `` objection `` at every single question i ask ? alexis : objection to that , as well . judge : objection overruled , but get to the point , mr. lansing . ric : absolutely . i will try this a different way . does defense counsel have a personal bias against you ? sonny : yes . ric : ok . as a result of that one night ? sonny : uh -- yeah , well , yeah . mainly that , yeah . ric : so since that ill - fated encounter , has ms. davis made it a point to publicly humiliate you or attack you in a public place ? sonny : yes , ric , on several occasions . ric : all right , i would like to call the court 's attention to the witness ' last answer . when ms. davis begins her cross - examination , she will have conflicting motives -- to act on her client 's behalf , most assuredly -- she is at least that much of a professional -- but she is also a woman scorned and is looking for an opportunity to lash out at the man who dumped her . alexis : this is outrageous . objection ! [ scene_break ] jax : if the d.n.a . tests prove that i 'm the father of sam 's baby , i want you to file for sole custody . justus : wait a second . are n't you getting way ahead of yourself here ? sam has been seeing sonny for months now . he seems like a far more likely candidate for father . jax : no , no , it does n't track , all right ? sonny 's a married man who already has two children . why would he make another with a woman like sam ? justus : `` a woman like sam `` ? jax : yeah , she 's -- you know ; she 's greedy and deceitful . she does n't have any moral boundaries , which would make her perfect for sonny if she was n't carrying my child . justus : you have n't convinced me she is . jax : think about this . now , you know sonny . his first instinct is always self- preservation . why would he risk getting sam pregnant ? she would rip his life into pieces , and sonny likes his life just fine the way it is . now , i 'm sure that he used protection . on the other hand , sam and i did n't . not my finest hour , but -- justus : now , look , all of this is just a theory . jax : i know , i know , but it 's a compelling one and the timing 's right because sam disappeared right when i found out she was pregnant . now , i am convinced that i am the baby 's father , and if i am , i want that child as far away from sonny and sam as possible , but i need proof . once i have it , sonny will be irrelevant . courtney : proof of what ? and why -- why are you trying to cause more trouble with sonny , jax ? [ scene_break ] sam : i imagine you do n't approve of me knowing that are two men who could potentially be the father of my baby . sister mary : no . it 's not my place to judge . i would like to hear your story if you 're willing to tell it . maybe i can help you find a solution . sam : sister , it 's already been decided . neither one of those men are an appropriate choice . the first man , who is n't married , basically despises me and regrets the day we ever met , and the married man i 'm in love with , of course . i mean , he did -- does , i do n't know -- care about me . it was n't just some cheap fling . you know , he was honest with me and accepting of me and he allowed me into his life as much as he possibly could . but our little window has closed . he is back with his wife now ; committed to his family again . that 's the type of guy he is . there is nothing more important to him than his children . sister mary : do you believe this man would want your child ? sam : oh , what does it matter what anyone wants ? i 've made the decision . the best thing i can do for anyone , including this child , is to make a clean break . [ scene_break ] carly : jason , will you please be the friend that you used to be to me ? jason : i 'm in a bad position , carly . i wish you could respect that . carly : i do respect your position with sonny . it 's what i do , jason , and i always end up on the short end . jason , i 've loved sonny so much , and he has been the best and the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life . and for every moment of joy that i had with him , there was one that matchable , was unspeakable pain . if it were n't for our children , i would be as far as away from him as possible . but i 'm here and i 'm asking you please not to bring sam back because it would make it just one less thing that i have to deal with . [ scene_break ] mary : you ca n't be serious about working for mr. alcazar . he 's dangerous and a criminal . nikolas : and he denies that . mary : of course he would . nikolas : would you just look at it logically for a second , please ? ok , if he wanted me to break the law , he 'd have to tell me upfront . he would n't allow my ignorance to jeopardize a deal . mary : so let me get this straight -- arms dealing is ok as long as you 're notified in advance ? nikolas : you know , i do n't know , but for some reason -- for some reason , you want to believe that alcazar 's a criminal . you 've already made it up in your own mind that you do n't like him , so you 're using any excuse that you can to discourage me from working for him , and i do n't -- mary : i 'm just trying to keep you safe . nikolas : no , what you 're trying to do is keep me isolated in this cabin and dependent on you . mary : connor -- nikolas : i ca n't -- i ca n't live like this anymore , mary . i 'm literally -- i 'm suffocating . i want to be out with the rest of the world , using my mind , connecting with other people . this life ? this life i 'm living right now ? it does n't fit with whoever the hell i am . it 's too small ! i 'm sorry , mary , but i was put on this earth to be more than just your husband . [ scene_break ] jason : why do you think sonny turned to sam in the first place ? carly : because he jumped to the false conclusion that i was sleeping with lorenzo , and if he had n't done that , none of this would be happening . jason : you know , carly , i 'm not going to get into another argument with you about who 's to blame for you and sonny breaking up , ok ? my point is sonny turned to sam because he was hurt . he thought his life with you was over , and instead of you trying to work it out , you went straight to alcazar for payback . carly : oh . so this is about blame -- jason : no -- carly : and of course it 's my fault , jason ! jason : you 're not hearing me , carly ! i 'm saying , in sonny 's mind , you made a choice and it was n't him . he wo n't open himself up again after that . so if you want sonny back , you 're the one who 's going to have to take the chance and say so . just tell him you love him and go from there . carly : so in other words , i 'm supposed to put my heart on the line and ask him to break it ? jason : carly , it 's your call . you know , one thing i do know for sure is that you 're not going to get anywhere playing games . just be honest with sonny , and that 'll open the door for him to be honest with you . [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm not looking for any conflict with sonny . as a matter , i try to avoid him altogether . courtney : ok , jax , i heard what you said about making sonny irrelevant . jax : i was referring to some unfinished business with sam , who 's disappeared . i think sonny sent her away . you would n't happen to know anything about that , would you ? courtney : no , and i do n't want to . if sam 's gone , i hope she stays gone . maybe it 'll give sonny the space he needs to focus on his wife and kids . excuse me . jax : you know , that whole family is as annoying as hell . courtney : hey . jen : hey . there 's a problem with your foundation . courtney : what 's wrong ? jen : the director of child welfare read katie griffith 's article , ok , and now she 's afraid that your foundation may be tainted because of your association with sonny and jason . courtney : ok , well , then i will meet with her in person and i will assure her that that is not the case . jen : no , no , uh - uh . actions are going to speak louder than words in this case , ok ? courtney , you need to find yourself a high - profile donor whose reputation is above reproach . then you need to slap their name on the board of directors right next to your own , ok ? no pressure , courtney , but you need to do this fast . [ scene_break ] jax : so will you take my case ? justus : i have my reservations . jax : because of sonny ? justus : he 's my primary client , my number one priority . jax : so help him . justus : by helping you ? that 's a little obscure . jax : not really . you prove that i 'm the father of sam 's baby and you 'll save sonny a hell of a surprise down the line . and if i 'm not the father , i 'm out of it . justus : right . i 'll get the paperwork started right away . jax : great . in the meantime , i 'll find sam and bring her back .

[ scene_break ] sonny : there was no secrecy involved . faith rosco , she told me straight up that she bought into the haunted star for the purpose of -- ahem -- laundering money . ric : mm - hmm . so did ms. rosco say whether skye quartermaine or luke spencer were complicit in this plan ? sonny : actually , she did not mention either of them , no . ric : ok . thank you . that 's all i have , your honor . judge : mr. corinthos , you may step down . sonny : thank you . judge : we 'll take a brief recess before ms. davis begins cross - examination . reconvene in 20 minutes . [ judge pounds gavel ] faith : hey , your scary brilliance , were you awake just now or did you miss it , because sonny just gave ric everything he needs to get a conviction against me . alexis : do n't worry , i 'll handle it . faith : yeah , well , you 'd better because i have no intention of going to jail because you were too distracted by sonny to do your job . alexis : when you get back up there , i 'm going to lead you into a way to retract your testimony . sonny : you want me to lie ? alexis : i am offering you a way out , and i suggest that you take it or when you get back up there , i am going to have to rip you apart . [ scene_break ] edward : ah . jax ! how nice of you to grace us with your presence . jax : i picked up an urgent message that tracy wanted to see me . edward : yes , well , i did n't think you 'd respond to a summons from me , and since you 're always asking `` how high `` every time tracy says jump , i thought it was a surefire way to get you down here . jax : i 'm in the middle of something important , edward . what do you want ? edward : all right , i 'll make it brief . any fool can see that you do n't want to marry tracy . you 're certainly not in love with her . how could anybody be ? you do n't need her money . so the only reason i could see for this farce of a wedding would be blackmail . now , tell me what she 's holding over you and i 'll help you turn the tables . jax : well , that 's very generous , edward . there 's just one problem with that -- i do n't trust you any more than i trust her . edward : oh . well , i 'll hold the offer open for you . but i suggest you adjust your attitude , because my daughter is relentless when it comes to seeing something she wants , especially if it 's wearing pants . you wo n't fend her off on your own . tracy : daddy , why would jax ever want to fend me off ? we 're soul mates on the road to a lifelong partnership . are n't we , darling ? jax : do n't be so sure .

[ scene_break ] carly : sam left town . courtney : yeah , i know . jax is out looking for her . finally some good news . carly : i -- i thought so when sonny said he had no intention of going after her . but either he changed his mind or he was lying from the start because he sent jason to find her . courtney : carly , i 'm sorry . that 's completely unfair . carly : you know , i do n't even know what i feel . i do n't , because it would be so much easier on the one hand if sam did come back because she and sonny could pick up where they left off , you know , and he and i could go back to being glorified roommates . we 'd have the kids and their lives , but no real connection , you know , no chance of getting hurt again . courtney : no chance of falling back in love ? look , i hate to be the one to tell you this , carly , but the way i see it , it 's already happened . so the question is , are you going to tell sonny ? [ scene_break ] sonny : come at me if you want , alexis . take your best shot . i got nothing to hide . alexis : we both know that is n't true . sonny : i 'm not as fragile as you think i am . you 're not going to break me or make me lose my cool . the best bet for you ? ask me some harmless questions ; get me off the stand as soon as possible . you do n't want to get me angry . jason : hey . sonny : hey . you find sam ? jason : tracked her down to a convent in costa rica . your jet 's ready . as soon as you 're done testifying , we can take off . sonny : no , no , it ca n't wait . sam could change her mind , decide to move on . i need you to go there , bring her back if possible . if not , i will fly there as soon as i can . you understand ? jason : ok . there 's something else . carly figured out that i 'd be going after her . sonny : you did n't tell carly that sam 's pregnant ? jason : no , but maybe you should . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : i 'm sure you can appreciate the awkward position i 'm in . you 've accused me of being a criminal , of using nikolas for my own sinister purposes . well , the simplest way to prove you wrong would be to tell the truth , explain to emily that her fiancé is alive , suffering from a head injury that erased his memory , and that he 's living with you under the mistaken impression that he 's your husband . mary : why do n't you just leave us alone ? nikolas does n't miss his old life . he 's happy with me . lorenzo : oh , i doubt that . nikolas is not your lost husband . he 's an aristocrat , which is so far removed from a rank - and - file soldier , he may as well be from another planet . you need to understand nikolas cassadine will never , ever be happy in connor bishop 's life . emily : you can save the gentleman act , alcazar . i already told mary the truth . lorenzo : the truth ? are you sure you know it ? emily : well , i know you 're a dangerous criminal . lorenzo : i thought you were a more fair - minded person than that ; not one to judge someone without even having a five - minute conversation with them . emily : ok . what are you suggesting ? lorenzo : well , considering i 'm about to make a sizable investment in l & b , maybe it would be good for you to form your own opinion of me irregardless of what jason thinks . i would welcome the opportunity to speak on my own behalf . emily : i 'm in the middle of my shift . lorenzo : so meet me when you get off . i think what i have to say will be of interest to you .

[ scene_break ] courtney : ok , sonny -- he 's committed to you and the boys . that means that you 'll stay married unless you walk away . is there any possibility of that ? carly : i -- no . courtney : no ? well , then , you know , i do n't see the harm in admitting to sonny that you still love him . maybe -- maybe that 's all it will take for him to say that he still loves you , too . carly : it is not about whether we love each other or not . if we keep going back , we are going to repeat that same vicious , hurtful cycle . seriously , courtney , how many times can sonny and i use our love as a weapon before we destroy each other for good ? it 's just best if things stay the way they are . courtney : come on , carly . i mean , the way things are now ; it 's a lie . how long do you think that you can live it ?

[ scene_break ] jason : you know , you 're right . i ca n't react to what claudia does . i 've got to figure out why she 's doing it . like tonight when i told carly to let patrick finish the surgery , claudia said that it was n't my call and that i was going to get michael killed . sam : okay , well , no wonder why you left . it would have been a really bad idea to strangle her right there in the waiting room . jason : i was so pissed about what she said , i did n't even pay attention to why she said it . she does n't want michael to die . if he does , there 's nothing to stop the truth from coming out . sonny : what about sonny 's baby ? jason : that 's why i have n't said anything . i do n't have any physical proof . you know what ? maybe that 's not up to me , you know ? sonny 's the father . maybe i should just tell him everything and let him decide what to do at this point . sam : can i offer you some advice ? jason : yeah . sam : good . i do n't know , jason , i 'm just thinking that maybe you should go downstairs and help sonny and carly through the rest of this surgery . and if michael lives , if he wakes up , who shot him and why becomes much less important . and if the worst happens , then you need to deal with revenge later . what matters right now is michael and his family , the people he loves helping out each other . that 's it . jason : thank you . sam : any time . [ scene_break ] carly : jax and i were talking about our new house . sonny : yeah ? when does the construction start ? carly : next week , right ? jax : yeah . we picked out a nice room for michael . it overlooks the lake . claudia : that 's nice . i mean , i think michael will like that . carly : i 'm going to take a walk . jax : i 'll go with you . carly : no , you know what ? i just need to take a walk . jax : you 're making my wife feel very uncomfortable . claudia : because i said that michael is going to like his room ? jax : she 's not family , sonny . she does n't belong here . sonny : relax . i 'll go see carly . claudia : i 'm doing the best i can here . jax : oh , no , your best would be to find an excuse why you should n't be here . claudia : okay , well , good . when my husband tells me he wants me to leave , then i will .

[ scene_break ] ethan : well , storm or no storm , i better get this bloody boat ready for the buzz of business . luke : you do n't want to talk about the paternity problem , pal ? ethan : the results are in , mate . end of story . luke : or just the beginning chapter . ethan : look , you 've convinced yourself that tracy 's tampered with the test . luke : yes , i have . it 's written all over her . she 's been trying to get you out my life for weeks , then we go to take the test and she 's as cool as a morgue technician . the results are read . she does n't bat an eye . ethan : maybe because she thought you were way off base to believe i was your bastard flesh and blood to begin with . luke : junior , listen . she is on the hospital board . her sister - in - law is chief of staff . her family has donated millions to the hospital . she has the motive , the opportunity , and the chance to fix those results . now , she does n't want you to be my son . she does n't want holly to be your mother , because that means that i 'm connected to holly -- ethan : are you listening to yourself , mate ? you 're jumping through bloody hoops here , okay ? let 's assume that it 's the truth , okay ? the test results are correct and i am not your son .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , the jackal is on the brink of a breakthrough . lulu : good . good luck . maxie : a breakthrough ? did you just say that so i would n't panic ? spinelli : the double agent that wanders these halls may be camouflaged for now , but he ca n't hide indefinitely . maxie : indefinitely ? spinelli , kate gave us 24 hours and 12 of them are gone already . we have to find something , anything . please , i am counting on you . spinelli : maximista , not to worry . a true hero never fails his damsel in distress .

[ scene_break ] luke : why are you so dead set against being my son ? ethan : why are you so eager to be my father ? luke : i 've never been eager to be anybody 's father . i just like to keep track of my genetic variations . ethan : well , the test results were negative , mate . i 'm not one of your genetic variations . luke : the results of those tests were tampered with , and that means that tracy is trying to deny me my own flesh and blood , if that 's what you are . ethan : well , you two can grapple about it all you want , just leave me the hell out of it . luke : what 's the matter with you ? what 's your beef ? is it anger ? is it resentment ? i was n't there for you when you were a kid , i 'm sorry . i wish i had been there your whole life , but that 's the past and none of us get the past back . all we have is the present . and in the present , i would be proud to be your father . we like each other . why should that change if it turns out we 're blood ? ethan : suppose you 're right . suppose tracy did rig the dna test , how are we going to prove it ? are we going to sneak back over there and take another one ? luke : well , that 's one solution . ethan : forget it . you 'll probably rig that one . luke : and why would i do that ? god ! there is another way . i thought of it before , and i should have done it . there is a sure - fire way to find out . [ scene_break ] claudia : bet you 're surprised to hear from me . i have n't exactly been checking in on a weekly basis or even a yearly basis , but the bible says that you give second chances , that you help those who are in need and you forgive the sinners . i truly do mean to repent this time , i swear to god . [ thunder rumbles ] claudia : okay , i admit i 'm partly here out of self - interest , but i 'm also here for michael . please , god , save his life . make michael come back whole and healthy and strong because if there 's one person who deserves a second chance , it 's michael . ric : do n't stand too close to the window . lightning may strike .

[ scene_break ] luke : the answer to this is so simple . i 've been an idiot not to have done this before . i 'm just going to call holly , go right to the source and find out . ethan : look , suppose holly is my mother . she 's kept it a secret a long time and probably for a good reason . what makes you think she 's going to just roll over now ? luke : i do n't know , but i think we can get the truth out of her a lot faster than we can out of tracy . ethan : well , good luck with that . luke : you know , for somebody who says he does n't give a damn , you 're putting up an awful lot of defenses here . ethan : all i 'm saying is that i seriously doubt holly 's going to give an honest answer over the phone . luke : well , we can only try . and there 's the added bonus of being able to hear those beautiful dulcet english tones . tracy : would you put down that phone . luke : you stay out of this . tracy : you have absolutely no perspective when it comes to that woman . luke : she 's a tad biased . tracy : she will have you wrapped around her little finger within 15 seconds of talking to her . she 's going to make up this whole elaborate scam and you two will be sucked right in . luke : nobody sucks me in unless i want them to . now , everybody be quiet . you , too .

[ scene_break ] jax : hey . brenda : oh , my god , ok , i 'm glad you 're here . listen , i 'm so mad that i could scream . i mean , i just feel like i 'm so worried about my son , and i think he must just be sitting there and he 's probably wondering where i am . jax : ok , it might not seem like it this minute , but we are going to find him . brenda : we are ? jax : yeah . and you know that suzanne would never hurt him , right ? brenda : i do ? jax : yeah . lucian 's her grandson . whatever way that woman loves , she loves him . here . brenda : thanks . jax : you got any more news at all ? brenda : no . i 'm not allowed to know anything . jax : what , is sonny keeping information about your son 's whereabouts from you ? brenda : no , sonny apparently is telling me that there are no real leads . but the real reason is , he 's furious at me for going public so he 's completely shutting me out . i have to tell you , if you were n't here , i feel like i could lose my mind . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm so tempted to grab her and take her home . i mean , possession is 9/10ths of the law , right ? jax and i are n't divorced . we have no custody agreement in place . and i have just as much right to walk out of here with her as he does . shawn : well , if that 's what you want , we 'll make it happen . just say the word . carly : i 'm tempted . but i should call my lawyer . because you know jax , he 's going to show up , he 's going to twist everything around and say that i 'm a bad mother . sonny : carly , can i talk to you for a second ? it 's important . carly : yeah , sure . did you guys find lucian ? sonny : dante and i , we got a lead that 's going to take us to san antonio . and i think that 's where we 'll be able to find lucian and suzanne . i ca n't take brenda 'cause she 's volatile right now , and suzanne 's dangerous . so i need a little help , a woman to help me take -- carly : this is a bad time , sonny . really . sonny : yeah , i know , but the thing is , i 'm sorry . i ca n't ask robin because i do n't want her getting in the middle . no , listen , suzanne is not going to go down without a fight . so i need someone that i trust to be able to take care of the kid . will you help me ? [ scene_break ] jason : you know , i just ca n't -- i ca n't stop my brain from just remembering every moment . every moment i spent with jake . i mean , i wonder where , what moment i could have done something to change what happened . and i know it does n't work like that . and i 've ... i 'm trying to accept that the randomness of death comes down on people that you love and there 's nothing you can do about it . but it 's just as far as i can get in my head . sam : that 's ok , you 're making your way through a process . jason : i know , but i do n't want to hold you back . sam : how ? jason : well , i mean , if you 're ready to get pregnant and i 'm not quite ready , i just -- sam : no , no , no , no , do n't do that . stop right there . jason , if we decide to get pregnant , it 's going to be a decision and a time that works for both of us . and now clearly is n't it . so you know what we 're going to do ? we are just going to take it one day at a time , one task at a time . will you do me a big favor ? jason : yeah , anything . sam : get out of here . go . go somewhere . go on your bike and just ride and clear your head . jason : i 'm not going to leave you alone . sam : really ? because i 'm exhausted . and i could really use a nap . jason : are you sure ? sam : mm - hmm . i 'm positive . go .

[ scene_break ] jax : you know , it does n't matter what sonny does right now . the authorities are looking for suzanne and lucian and it 's only a matter of time before they 're found . brenda : ok , but guess what , dante told me that because of what we did , that lucian is no longer a priority . jax : why not ? brenda : what do you mean , why ? he said that because we went public about the fact that suzanne stanwick is lucian 's grandmother , that they do n't think that lucian is in danger anymore . jax : no , i do n't believe that for a second . and you know what , it does n't matter anyway . because i made some calls and i got some friends in high places . i called in some favors . not that i really needed to . because everyone is more than happy to help a mother find her kidnapped son . so do n't worry . we 're going to find him , ok ? brenda : wow . i almost believe you . jax : i 'm not going to let you down . [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't know what suzanne , what her resources are . but since she was married to theo for all those years , i 'm sure she has a lot . now we got ta remove this little boy from possible danger . because he needs to be comforted , taken care of . i know you can do that . carly : sonny ... sonny : all you got ta do is , when we grab the kid , just bring him to port charles . carly : i would love to help you , you know i would , but josslyn 's being released today . jax and i are fighting over custody . i 'm going to be the one to take her home . sonny : i would n't be asking you this if i did n't know your little girl was a hundred percent healthy . i know you want to take her home , but we may never see this little boy again . carly : i ca n't risk it . you have to find someone else . [ scene_break ] lulu : i mean , do n't get me wrong . i 'm not encouraging you to permanently join up with sonny forever and ever . dante : i know that . i know . and i 'm not going to throw away my badge and join the family business . i just appreciate this , to work towards the same goal with him , and then i get to see the good in him . lulu : it 's not too much to ask for . dante : i feel for the guy . i mean , brenda is losing it right now and she 's taking it out on him . he 's an easy target for her . and all he 's doing is trying to find her son . [ cell phone rings ] dante : sorry . lulu : that 's ok . dante : yeah , what do you got ? spinelli : a location on suzanne 's car . it 's parked in the driveway of a house bought by a woman named sherry scott three years ago . i have not yet been able to tie it to theo . dante : well , yeah , that 's because she would n't want him to know about it . send me everything you know on sherry scott . i got ta meet sonny at the air strip . spinelli : will do . dante : looks like it 's on . lulu : ok . dante : love you . lulu : i love you .

[ line ringing ] spinelli : jackal here . sonny : hey , listen , carly agreed to go to san antonio . so tell dante we 'll meet him at the strip . spinelli : dante 's already on his way . sonny : ok . you keep the fort down , ok ? spinelli : you can count on me .

[ scene_break ] anna : like you , i 'm an expert shot , so i do n't need to explain to you your chances of surviving a bullet at point - blank range . jake : no , ma'am . anna : you will answer my questions directly with no embellishment . if i find your answers satisfactory , i will put a bullet in your head . death will be quick , painless -- a far cry from the ending that you dealt duke . jake : okay , listen to me . anna : i did n't ask a question yet . in the event that i find your answers unsatisfactory ... let 's just say that it was -- it was really bad for duke . it 's gon na be far worse for you . am i clear ? jake : you 're clear . anna : question one -- did you kill duke lavery ? jake : i ca n't answer your questions without my lawyer present . anna : that is unsatisfactory .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal respects fair samantha 's desire to be self - sufficient , even during her convalescence . however , one can not deny the healing powers of an herbal remedy . so here -- for mental clarity and acumen . helpful in making decisions . sam : that 's very sweet of you , spinelli , but having a baby is not just my decision . spinelli : perhaps the jackal misunderstood , but did n't stone cold give you that decision as to whether or not the path to parenthood should proceed ? sam : well , yeah . i mean , i made the choice to have the procedure , but it does n't mean that i 'm actually going to have the baby , or that i should have a baby . i mean , a lot of things would have to change . spinelli : certainly , but i would be happy to oversee the operations at our joint business venture , so that would give you more time to parent . sam : no , uh - uh . this is n't just about work . i mean , what if i 'm not a good mother ? it 's not like i had the best of examples growing up . i mean , i practically raised myself . spinelli : and you took care of your brother in the process . i mean , that in itself shows an innate instinct to nurture . sam : when i got pregnant with sonny 's baby , i -- yeah . i definitely was n't sure i wanted kids . it definitely was not planned . and then , all of a sudden , i found myself getting really excited and making plans , getting attached . and then , my world came crashing down . and i just know that losing my kid was the hardest thing i ever had to go through . and jason 's going through that nightmare now . how can i ask him to open himself up to that heartache again when i 'm not even sure that 's something that i want to do ? spinelli : stone cold took every precaution to protect his child , and even so , nothing could prevent jake 's tragic and untimely death . and now , he 's grieving for a child that he barely even knew . no doubt , deep regret . sam : yeah , no doubt . and i know that if jason could do it over again , he would do it differently , and he 'd be an amazing father . spinelli : i think a great deal of stone cold 's pain stems from the fact that he missed out on being a part of jake 's life . so why not give him a second chance ? i know that jake ca n't be brought back and ca n't be replaced , but i know for certain that stone cold would embrace any child that would be put in his charge . and i do n't know . i do n't think you should let your fear stand in the way of having a family either because those fears are unfounded . you would make a great mom . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , you ok ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah . i 'm ok . i hope i did n't scare her . jason : no , no . she 's fine . she insists on reading a book where the animals -- where they -- i mean , whatever she wants . elizabeth : before you know it , it 's going to be makeup and boys . jason : i do n't want to think about that yet . elizabeth : i 'm just glad she gets the chance to experience all that . i 'm still so angry . i just -- i do n't understand why god decided to take jake . i feel like i 'm forever going to have this gaping hole in my heart , and i think about you all the time and how hard this has been on you . i got to hear more `` i love yous `` than i can count , and i just -- i really wish you could have had the same . jason : so do i . elizabeth : you know , people keep telling me that at some point , i will actually feel good about donating jake 's organs . but it was n't until right now , seeing josslyn so happy and healthy , that it really registered . jake was such an amazingly energetic and fearless little boy who just loved to run and play , and now , other kids like josslyn are going to get to run and play , too .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : you know , people continue to offer their support and their condolences . and i really appreciate it , and i know they mean well , but the truth is , words just do n't ease the pain or the guilt i feel . but seeing josslyn , knowing that she 's going to have a full life ahead of her , it 's actually the first thing that has helped . jason : well , josslyn would n't be here if it was n't for you . you saved her life . elizabeth : that 's not entirely true . you know i said a bunch of mean and hurtful things -- jason : it does n't matter . it does n't matter . all that matters is that she 's here , and she 's healthy . elizabeth : because of lucky . he 's the one that could see the good that might come out of all of this . jason : either way , i 'll always be grateful . thank you . elizabeth : i guess the three of us will forever be bonded by the good that came out of jake .

anna : we need to get a statement from carlos . this is our last chance to get it on record that julian wanted him to kill duke . sonny : we do n't even know if he can talk . anna : okay . dr. wilson : where 's the damn priest ? ! carlos : tell sabrina ... i love her . anna : carlos , listen to me . you have to tell the truth . you need to admit that julian ordered you to kill duke . sonny : easy . breathe . anna : say it ! just say it ! just say it . griffin : anna . anna : say it ! griffin : you need to back off . i 'm going to give carlos his last rites .

[ scene_break ] anna : i - i need to question him ! we do n't have time for some religious ceremony ! [ monitor beeping ] anna : griffin ! dr. wilson : i 'd start if i were you . griffin : in the name of the father , the son , and the holy spirit ... carlos : amen . anna : are you kidding me ? sonny : it 's not for carlos . when a priest invokes the name of the holy spirit , you cross yourself . it 's just a thing . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm hoping the opposite of you getting back together with hayden is something like you finally decided to kick her to the curb , and she 's getting nothing in the divorce ? nikolas : no , we 're not -- no . not just yet . elizabeth : come on . what are you waiting for ? are you holding on to the delusion that she 's gon na change ? 'cause i have to tell you , she is not capable of change . i 'm sure she came out of the womb greedy and treacherous , and you know her first word was a lie . nikolas : i know what i 'm up against with hayden , okay ? i 've spent many a sleepless night taking stock of my life . all the mistakes that i 've made , all the bad decisions that i 've made . but i 've learned from them , and i know have a plan . elizabeth : which is what ? nikolas : i 'm gon na make hayden 's life an absolute living hell . [ scene_break ] hayden : ca n't you just take a break ? i need your full attention . curtis : [ chuckles ] now , when have you ever taken my advice ? oh , wait a minute . never . hayden : curtis . curtis , you know i do n't beg . but if there 's ever a day to start , today would be that day . curtis : [ sighs ] okay , so , first you need my help , now you want my sympathy 'cause you got it so , so rough , huh ? hayden : okay . i get it . our lives are very different . i pay you to keep my deepest secrets while you 're working out in this dump . curtis : whoa , whoa . careful now . this place belongs to sonny corinthos himself . word on the street is that he 's pretty fond of this place . you would n't want to offend him . hayden : well , no offense intended toward mr. corinthos or toward you . the simple fact is i do n't have any family to turn to or any friends , for that matter . you 're the only person i can count on . so put your gloves back on and hit the bag , but please , please just talk to me . w - what are you doing ? curtis : i am gon na show you another way to work through your crap . [ scene_break ] julian : of course , i am surprised . i did n't know that carlos had been found , much less injured . or are you suggesting that i had something to do with it ? alexis : i - it 's just that no one has more to gain than you do from carlos being dead . julian : [ scoffs ] you know what ? there is a long list of people who want carlos dead , starting with sonny corinthos . alexis : i do n't care about sonny . i care about you , just you . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : tell me . just say it . just promise me that you did n't send someone to the pier to kill carlos last night . [ scene_break ] griffin : before i begin , are there any sins you want to confess ? carlos : [ labored ] no . anna : he ca n't even be honest with a priest . sonny : do you really think he was gon na confess to us ? griffin : let us pray . anna : oh , god . i do n't believe this . jordan : how 's carlos ? paul : well , it 's my experience that , um , when you call in the priest , that 's not a good sign . griffin : our father , who art in heaven , hallowed be thy name . thy kingdom come . thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven . give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us . carlos : [ gasping ] and lead us ... and lead us not into temptation ... but deliver us from evil . santa maria , madre de dios , ruega por nosotros pecadora , ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte . [ sobs ] amen . griffin : amen . anna : this has to stop . this has to stop . griffin : you need to stop , anna . anna : no , you need to stop . because a deathbed confession is admissible in court . now , you 've said all your prayers and everything , so now he needs to tell us that julian jerome ordered him to kill your father . griffin : i am not here as duke lavery 's son . i 'm a catholic priest , and i am here to fulfill my office . anna : do you really think you 're the right person to save his soul , to ask god to grant him mercy on his behalf ? do you really think so ? because he certainly did n't show your father any mercy . i do n't understand why you want to comfort this man . griffin : what i want and what i am duty - bound to do for my god are sometimes in complete opposition , and that is the very definition of faith . [ scene_break ] jordan : i have to run something by forensics and then make another stop . call me when this turns into a murder charge . paul : will do . jordan : is sonny in there ? paul : mm . between michael 's involvement in this and his father 's , i would imagine that sonny 's high up on the list of suspects . jordan : oh , trust me , i 'm far from done with him . paul : now , what are you getting for forensics ? jordan : well , the hospital released the pen that carlos used to stab dante , the one that lead to the accident and then their escape . if i can trace it to its owner , then it 'll tell me who 's been helping carlos . paul : i realize the solution is n't perfect . but that 's all i can do . well , keep me apprised of any developments . jordan : trust me , you 'll be the first to know . [ scene_break ] julian : i promise you i did not send any of my people down to docks last night for any reason . you want to -- you want to look through my phone , see if i called any of my associates last night ? alexis : why did anna devane call you ? julian : pretty much to ask me the same questions you 're asking me . okay . so , what exactly did your associates say about carlos ' condition ? alexis : all i know is that he 's in the hospital . julian : okay . alexis : where are you going ? julian : i 'm going to the hospital . alexis : no , no , no ! you ca n't go to the hospital . you ca n't go anywhere near the hospital . carlos was making a deal to testify against you . you are the person of interest . you go near that hospital , you -- you check up on him , you 're asking to be picked up ! julian : okay , pretending that -- that , you know , carlos living or dying has no impact on me , on us , it solves nothing . i need to go to the hospital , and i need to find out what in the hell 's going on . carlos : ohh ! [ grunts ] [ scene_break ] griffin : carlos , i 'm going to administer the sacrament of the anointing of the sick . anna : oh , this is unbelievable . griffin : through this holy anointing , may the lord , with his love and mercy , help you with the grace of the holy spirit . carlos : [ labored breathing ] griffin : may the lord , who frees you of sin , save you and raise you up . by this sign ... thou art anointed with the grace of the atonement of jesus christ , and thou art absolved from all past error and sin and freed to find his place in the world he has prepared for us . in my father 's house , there are many mansions . if this were n't so , i would have told you . so i go to prepare a place for you . [ monitor beeping ] carlos : [ labored breathing ] griffin : do you have something to say , something you want to confess ? sonny : come on , carlos . say it . do one thing good in your life ! admit that julian gave the order to kill duke . admit it ! anna : carlos , if you want to go to heaven , you just need to confess . carlos , come on . [ flatline ] dr. wilson : he 's gone . anna : bring him back ! just try again ! no , no , no ! he was gon na say it ! he was gon na say something ! sonny : anna . anna , leave it . griffin : time of death -- 7 : 06 a.m . anna : he was trying to say something . did you see that ? he would have given up julian if we had n't wasted time with that pointless ritual . [ scene_break ] alexis : i do n't understand . why do you have to check on carlos ? you ca n't help him . julian : you know , believe it or not , alexis , carlos -- he was a friend of mine , okay ? i consider him a friend . it might help him to see a friendly face . alexis : what are you talking about ? what ? he 's not your friend ! what are you -- `` friendly face `` ? you were gon na use your gun , because you thought you needed to protect yourself against him , and now you feel compelled to go visit him in the hospital ? in court we 'd use that for impeachment . julian : okay , you know , you 're right . i - i did jump to the worst case scenario , which was a mistake . alexis : [ exhales sharply ] i put that gun away . i locked it up , and you left and you went to crimson . and then sonny came here , and then we left . so there was a window , a time where the house was empty and the gun was unaccounted for . [ sighs ] did you double back for it ? did you come back for it ? julian : you know -- alexis : did you shoot carlos ? [ knock on door ] julian : oh , brilliant . [ door opens ] jordan : thank you , paul , for the update . i will be in touch . may i come in ? alexis : um , of course . jordan : i came to talk to the both of you about carlos rivera . he was assaulted in the early morning hours on pier 54 . but i just got word from our da that changes everything . julian : what does that mean ? jordan : carlos rivera is dead . [ scene_break ] anna : this is exactly the worst thing that could have happened . carlos is dead without giving a confession , and now there 's no ties between julian and duke . sonny : julian can still be handled . anna : i do n't want him handled . i want justice . it counts for nothing if he turns up in an alley with two bullets to the back of his head . although you might go for a subtler approach , given that the man is kristina 's stepfather . you do n't want to create any disharmony in your extended family , so you might arrange for some time timely accident . sonny : anna . i 'm not your enemy . i want to bring him down just like you do . anna : but you 're not gon na get what you want , and neither am i ! because carlos is dead . and now , again , julian gets away with everything ! paul : i 'm so sorry that carlos died before you could get a confession . anna : oh , god ! do you ever tell the truth ? ! do you ? you wanted him out of the picture just as much as julian . sonny : it 's rough , ai n't it ? i 'm just -- i 'm just curious . why do you want carlos rivera dead ? paul : i did n't . anna 's clearly overwrought . sonny : does n't make her wrong . when we were going to get carlos , she mentioned that you wanted carlos gone . is there -- does carlos have something on you ? paul : i have no idea what you 're talking about . sonny : so it 's just a coincidence that you ordered a transfer and carlos escaped -- now he 's dead ? it 's just a coincidence that she 's dealing with the arms syndicate and you arranged the bust ? paul : what does that have to do with -- sonny : i 'm just thinking out loud . like , you 're connected to ava , ava 's connected to julian , julian 's connected to carlos , and carlos is connected to you . paul : only in anna 's mind . she 's been deteriorating emotionally for months now . sonny : anna 's a pro , a lot tougher than you are . griffin : [ sighs ] help me , father , come to peace with my own failings . you know the questions i 've carried my whole life about my father . the hope when i found out his name , and disappointment when i realized he was dead . the turmoil when i realized carlos rivera took my father from me before i ever had the chance to meet him . please , help me forgive the satisfaction i felt when i witnessed carlos ' last breath . and i ask of you ... please welcome carlos into your kingdom and your forgiveness , as there was none for him in this world . [ scene_break ] curtis : good . now give me a right - left - right combo . hayden : [ grunts ] curtis : good ! good ! do n't that feel good ? i do some of my best thinking right here in the ring . hayden : yeah , well , at this point , i 'll try anything . i need to figure out something to get out of my disaster of a marriage . curtis : okay , now , i 'm probably gon na regret this , but can we take it back to , uh , when you asked me to steal diamonds from your husband ? hayden : yeah . nikolas realized that he needed something on me to counter the leverage i had on him . he managed to discover a stash of diamonds originally purchased by my father that no one 's supposed to know i held on to . [ grunts ] curtis : okay , so , the diamonds trump a bullet in the head ? hayden : you know as well as i do that my chances of proving that nikolas had me shot are mediocre at best . the diamonds incriminate me . while nikolas is in possession , he 's actually in a stronger position than i am . at this point , i 'm just bluffing to keep us in a standoff , but my resources are dwindling . [ sighs ] curtis : what about that big - ass ring ? hayden : what about it ? curtis : nikolas gave that to you , right ? hayden : it 's my engagement ring . curtis : and he gave it to you free and clear ? hayden : yeah . so ? curtis : so has it ever occurred to you that maybe you could sell that bad boy online to make enough money to retire to tahiti ? hayden : when nikolas gave this to me it -- it meant so much more to me than what he paid for it . curtis : okay , but that was then , this is now . does it still have that much sentimental value to you ? hayden : surprisingly , yes , it does . not that i have any illusions about a future between me and nikolas . but when he put this ring on my finger and for a little while after that , we were truly happy , maybe the happiest i 've ever been in my entire life . this is all i have left of that time , and i 'm not gon na sell it -- even to get to tahiti . curtis : okay , not the ring . but is n't nikolas ' house filled with a lot of priceless stuff that you could sell online ? you see , it 's like a two - fer , okay ? you can raise enough funds for yourself , and you can deprive old nikolas of his possessions . hayden : you mean take the money as a consolation prize ? curtis : that 's what i would do . hayden : i love that idea . will you help me ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : your idea of making hayden 's life a living hell is to stay married to her ? she gets to live here in this castle and be waited on by your full staff ? nikolas : look , a loveless marriage is no day at the beach , liz . elizabeth : but this is hayden we 're talking about . the woman 's got no soul . she does n't care if you despise her as long as she 's living in the lap of luxury . and she knows she has the upper hand . nikolas : well , let 's just say that there 's a few things in play that were n't before . i have something on her now . elizabeth : which is [ clears throat ] why she has n't turned you in on her attempted murder ? nikolas : what i have on her will bring her down just as fast as what she has on me . elizabeth : so , stalemate . still , if you ask me , it 's a win for hayden , 'cause she gets to live here for free . nikolas : you know , now that you mentioned it , you just -- elizabeth : what ? what did i mention ? nikolas : you know , you gave me a fantastic idea . elizabeth : what ? wha -- nikolas : excuse me . [ scene_break ] griffin : it 's ironic that i gave last rites to the man who took my father 's life . but i accept that 's part of your plan . anna : if you 've finished communing with a higher power , i wonder if you could explain yourself to me . carlos rivera murdered your father . we had one chance to get a deathbed statement from him , and you squandered that on a religious ceremony , one you 're evidently equipped to carry out , 'cause apparently you are a roman catholic priest . a fact you neglected to mention to me while you were insinuating yourself into my life . so ... `` father `` ... griffin munro , if that 's how we 're supposed to address you ... why have you been lying to me since you came to port charles ? [ scene_break ] julian : i assume you 're here because you think i 'm somehow related to whatever happened to carlos . jordan : he did used to work for you . maybe he still was . julian : well , i was at the crimson offices last night working . i have two witnesses , one of them being my wife . jordan : what time did you see him there ? alexis : commissioner , if you are going to formally question us -- jordan : alexis , it 's a simple question . just -- what time did you see julian at crimson ? alexis : 2 : 30 a.m . jordan : carlos was attacked before then , just based on when the 911 call was made . julian : well , let me be clear -- i was at crimson the whole evening . nina reeves can vouch for me . alexis : i - i saw him there with nina . commissioner , he did n't shoot carlos , because i had the gun locked up before he left . jordan : who said carlos rivera was shot ? [ scene_break ] paul : carlos rivera 's murder goes to the top of our case list . i want an arrest as soon as possible . sonny : i got to say , you put on a hell of an act . it 's amazing . it really is . paul : and , if you 'll excuse me , i have work to do , including this murder case . sonny : well , you got to have a suspect if you 're gon na arrest somebody . you might as well start with , um , the fancy pen that carlos used to stab my son . paul : now how could you possibly know about that ? if detective falconeri disclosed details of an ongoing investigation -- sonny : no , no . what happened is i saw dante come into the hospital , and he was stabbed . and i 'm a big contributor to general hospital and the staff is great and they talk . and especially when you 're talking about , like , a -- a pen used as a weapon . that 's something to talk about . i just -- what sticks in my head is , like , where did the pen come from ? paul : is that all ? sonny : you know , you and anna devane -- you 're kind of at odds , right ? she does n't like you very much . paul : well , uh , that 's where you 're mistaken , sir . you see , anna 's a valued colleague who happens to be , unfortunately , going through a difficult time . sonny : well , anna 's daughter -- i respect her very much . and ... that 's why i respect anna very much . you know what i mean ? paul : i do , because i respect her , too . do you have any idea how inappropriate it is for you to have an ongoing relationship , a known mob kingpin ... sonny : alleged . paul : ... in alignment with a special investigator from the da 's office ? you understand the problem here ? sonny : yeah . well , let me tell you , anna 's above that . if i did anything to break the law , she 'd bust me in a second . but there 's no chance of that . paul : right , because you 're such a law - abiding citizen , right ? sonny : not as law - abiding as you are . now let me tell you something -- if carlos had stuck that -- that pen in my son 's throat , he 'd be dead , just like he almost died in -- when the van crashed . and i 'm a father , and that concerns me . now , i ca n't do anything about carlos , obviously . but who ever put that pen in carlos ' hands , i 'm gon na deal with that . paul : well , i assure you , there will be a through investigation . sonny : well , you better get to it right away . [ scene_break ] griffin : i have taken holy orders , but i am not currently a practicing priest . anna : you did n't think that was worth mentioning ? griffin : i planned on telling you at some point . i certainly did n't expect anyone to find out the way it happened . anna : well , if only you had concerned yourself more with getting justice for duke and less with cleansing the soul of his killer . griffin : our lord taught us `` judge not , lest ye be judged . `` every catholic baptized in a church has the right to sacrament , even murderers , even my father 's murderer . anna : well , duke had a right to go on living . he had a right to meet you and know you , and carlos deprived him of that as he deprived us of duke . griffin : i understand you 're upset ... anna : oh , god . griffin : ... but this is a time for healing to begin . if you 'll let me , i 'd like to try to help you forgive . anna : that 's your answer for everything , is n't it ? griffin : i 'd really like to try and help you let go of the anger , the pain , the grief . i know things did n't turn out the way you wanted them to , but carlos is gone now , and in time you 're gon na -- anna : oh ! okay , i get that your faith gives you comfort , or maybe it 's simply that you did n't know duke in life , that that 's what makes his murder less outrageous to you than it is to me . but your lectures on forgiveness are insulting . griffin : that was never my intention -- anna : no , i 'm sure it was n't . but the truth is you know very little about the circumstances of duke 's life . and it appears that you know even less about his death . so here it is -- carlos was the trigger man . the real killer is julian jerome , and he 's still out there . i 'm not gon na rest until he 's brought to justice . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] alexis : carlos was n't shot ? jordan : no . he was stabbed multiple times . of course , we have to wait for the autopsy to get measurements on the wounds , but , uh ... must of been one hell of a blade .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : okay . so , i 've spoken to the housekeepers . they are emptying hayden 's closet . we 're donating all of her clothes to charity , unless you want any of them . they 're your size , of course . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] no , thank you . but i do think hayden 's seeing her fancy clothes on a homeless person is going to drive her crazy . nikolas : i 've instructed the staff to just keep a pair of her underwear and some ratty old sweat pants . elizabeth : oh , that 's good . that 's really good . i appreciate your gamesmanship . unless this game of chicken is just another chapter in your love story with hayden . nikolas : look , if -- if you 're thinking that there 's gon na be some sort of reconciliation , do n't . because i 'm gon na torture her until she caves and leaves this house without a dime of my money . elizabeth : you know , this little game your playing , it almost makes me sad that i found another place to live . nikolas : well , you know that you do n't have to leave here . elizabeth : i said `` almost . `` nikolas : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : i do n't have the stomach to watch this war . i just hope you do . [ scene_break ] anna : where are the medical staff ? sonny : i told them they could give me a minute . anna : to be alone with your grief . sonny : i just thought maybe you 'd want to have a chance to say whatever you need to say one last time . anna : thank you . thank you . that 's ... sonny : hey . anna : ... that 's very thoughtful . sonny : hey . anna . i respect you , and i think your intelligent and strong and you got this drive to get justice . if the tables were reversed and someone took carly from me the way someone took duke from you , i would do everything i could to make them pay . anna : the difference being that you would kill them . see , that 's not enough for me . i - i do n't want that . i want julian to go down in a court of law , and now he probably wo n't , you see . sonny : maybe not for duke 's murder . but someone killed carlos , and julian has the strongest motive . so you may get your justice after all . anna : is that what you were trying to tell me ? that julian murdered you ? is n't that ironic , that you carry out his orders , and you kill the man i love , and i hound you to the end of the earth , yet you stay loyal to him . you never gave julian up . in the end that treacherous bastard murdered you anyway . [ sniffles ] i should feel sorry for you . [ voice breaking ] but i do n't . i feel like you got what you deserved . and someday ... somehow ... julian will , too .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i 'm not proud of what i 'm about to tell you . but one of the side effects of the tumor was hallucinations . i could see emily . lucky : what do you mean , you saw her ? nikolas : i mean she was waiting for me at wyndemere when i came home from the funeral . i knew that she was n't real and that the tumor was eventually going to kill me , but i wanted to be with her no matter what the cost . elizabeth : so you 're saying that ian just happened to come up with a drug to help you ? nikolas : yeah , it was an experimental , black market drug , illegal . but it made my condition manageable and allowed me to see emily at the same time . lucky : how much did you pay him ? nikolas : $ 10 million . elizabeth : uhh . nikolas : i knew that i purchased a drug that was illegal and if i would have just come clean and turned ian in , maybe michael would be playing baseball right now instead of lying in the hospital . but all i could think about was seeing emily .

[ scene_break ] claudia : i want you to trust me , daddy . i want you to make me part of the business , but that 's not going to happen . anthony : do you understand why ? claudia : you 're old school -- it 's your business , it 's your call . there 's nothing i can do about it . anthony : no , i 'm protecting you , claudia . i do n't want you to turn into a cold , bitter woman like your mother . claudia : you divorced my mother , you fell in love with maria , and you broke her heart . anthony : is that what she told you ? claudia : that 's what happened , dad . anthony : did she tell you how much i loved her in the beginning , how happy we were ? but that was n't enough for her . she wanted power , she wanted control . she loved the business more than she ever loved me or you -- she broke my heart . claudia : you left her for another woman . it happens ; you do n't have to blame it on my mom . anthony : domenica failed me because of her own ambition , and you remind me of her . claudia : a little too much , right ? anthony : i want to save you from your mother 's mistakes , claudia . claudia : is this a lead up , daddy , to you sending me away again ? anthony : no , not at all . you 're my daughter ; i want you close to me . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny loved you before he ever became your father . he looked out for you and he worried about you . and as you grew up , he was so proud of you . when you were in that christmas pageant , and that first semester you got all a 's . when you called him `` dad `` for the first time he was so happy . he tried to give you the life that he did n't have . sonny wanted you to go to college and become a lawyer or a big fancy executive . more than anything , sonny just wanted you to be a good person , and he wanted you to be a good brother . and you are . you are , baby -- and that 's partly because sonny was such a good father to you . so what 's going to happen has nothing to do with love and it does n't have anything to do with anger . because you 're always going to love sonny and he 's always going to love you . but as your mother i have to make sure what happened to you will never happen to morgan . so i am going to ask sonny to sign some papers and then he wo n't be your father anymore . [ scene_break ] lulu : i am afraid . i am . i 'm terrified , actually . johnny : because of what i did to corinthos ? lulu : because of how you make me feel . i do n't love you , but i could if i let myself . johnny : and that scares you ? lulu : when my mom was younger than i am now , she fell madly in love with my father . she did n't care that everybody told her to stay away from him , that he was older than her , that he was involved in the mob . she just loved him and my dad loved her , too . and then things got a little crazy and he raped her . johnny : are you afraid i 'm going to do that to you ? [ scene_break ] claudia : do n't go , we can still have our meeting . anthony : you 're having meetings with jason morgan ? claudia : yeah , because i 'm trying to figure out who cut the brakes on my car and sent a sniper after me . would you like to stay ? you 're more than welcome to stay , daddy . logan : mr. zacchara , are you okay ? anthony : if morgan wanted to shoot me , i 'd be dead by now . claudia , we 're leaving . claudia : sorry , daddy , i ca n't . anthony : let 's go . claudia : i do n't know if i ever mentioned this , but you have really great timing .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , luke is gone again , but that 's not what 's bothering you ? lucky : there 's a bigger picture . luke , he took off to singapore . with a running buddy this time . elizabeth : he 's cheating on tracy ? lucky : oh , that 's funny . no , he cheated on my mother . elizabeth : okay , i have no idea what you 're talking about . lucky : he thinks that ethan lovett is his son with holly sutton . elizabeth : who is ethan lovett ? lucky : luke 's new running buddy . the now so - called bartender at the haunted star . he just happened to show up one day , out of the blue , his hand in the till , if you can imagine that . i mean , what better way to get my father 's attention ? elizabeth : okay , let me see if i 've got this straight . some grifter named ethan has showed up into town , claiming to be your father 's son ? and now -- what , they 're on vacation together ? lucky : hell if i know , because i do n't give a damn . [ scene_break ] luke : the 80 's was a very dangerous decade for me . i was not exactly what you would call a popular man . i bounced around a lot , because everybody who did n't want to drive a stake through my heart wanted to put me in a cage . i was always one step ahead of disaster , trying to make a dishonest living . ethan : that sounds colorful . luke : yeah , colorful , i 'd say . so , anyway , i 'm in south america , see , in argentina . buenos aires . land of the tango . ethan : mm - hm . luke : and i fall into this sweet scam , art scam , involving this masterpiece by a dutch painter named vermeer . you know that guy ? ethan : oh , yeah . luke : good , you 're educated . it was priceless , and it had disappeared during world war ii . now , art lovers are just like well - dressed gamblers . remember that , dodge , because it 's the same game . so i got this nice little bidding war going between this international clique of very shady high rollers . ethan : excellent . luke : it was excellent . i stood to make a fortune . until one of the participants decided to eliminate the competition . i was ordered to make the hit . if i did n't ice one of the bidders to scare the others off , they were going to do something terrible to my family . ethan : you brought your family with you ? luke : well , in those days , yeah . wherever i went , laura and lucky were right there with me . anyway , it was disastrous . i could n't get them out of argentina . i did n't know what to do , so i took a big risk . i decided to bolt and hope that the hired guns would follow me . and it worked . so i detoured them here , to singapore . ethan : where holly sutton was spending some time . luke : yeah , she was . and both of us wandered in here one night , both trying to escape our private hells . both thinking we were going to die . some would call it luck . i call it destiny . ethan : some would call you a player . luke : no , i 'm just a guy . i 'm just another poor sot on this miserable speck of dust . anyway , three weeks later , i was able to get my family out of argentina , settle them in morocco . and laura was very generous . she was amazing . she did n't hold it against me . ethan : well , yeah . she probably did n't know you were dogging around . luke : oh , she knew . women always know . women have infallible radar when it comes to other women . ethan : so , here you and holly were , huddled together , thinking you 're going to die . luke : yes , until fate stepped in , played d.j . , and cranked up the soft jazz . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] woman : hi . how 's it going ? dr. brown : good morning , ladies . does anyone have something specific they 'd like to address today ? robin : um , okay , i guess i 'll go . um , i 've been calling home every day , and i 'll ask my husband or my nanny to put the phone to my daughter 's ear so i can tell her that i love her . i do n't think she understands me . i mean , not just because she 's a little baby , but because i have n't shown her that i love her . i do n't know . how do i make up for that ? woman : you have this little bundle that you love and you adore and everything is supposed to be magical . like you said , you look at the magazines and everyone is so joyful . second woman : i was raised to believe that mothering is a natural instinct . and when i did n't feel the way i thought i should , i panicked . woman : they 're breast feeding . which i think was the beginning of my downfall . breast feeding did not go well . it was a horrible experience . there was no bonding at all . every time i tried to put him on me , he was crying , i was crying , everybody 's screaming . second woman : i would look at pictures of moms and their babies in these parenting magazines , and it just looked so natural . and i felt so awkward holding her , and i thought that if i could just have a little bit of what they had , i would be okay . dr. brown : you know what 's insidious about this disease is that the symptoms , while they are often common or overlapping , everything is so different for everyone . you know , there is no two experiences that are exactly alike . woman : that 's why i did n't recognize it . i 'd only heard the horror stories . robin : definitely hard to talk about , too . woman : i did n't kill my child . but that 's one part of the spectrum . second woman : and if you admit it , people think , `` oh , my gosh , you 're one of those mothers . `` woman : right . second woman : and so you do n't even want to talk about it . third woman : if you 're going through a break - up and you admit it , then they might take your daughter away from you . or your son . second woman : i sometimes felt they should . that i knew anybody out there could do it better than i could . fourth woman : and then when she starts crying , i just want to hurt her . woman : i just could n't seem to get this together . i mean , i had a career . i was a successful person . i can micromanage with the best of them . but i could n't seem to make four hours work . [ scene_break ] monica : carly , i am so sorry . i apologize . the last thing in the world i want to do is upset you . and believe me , i am hoping and praying that michael wakes up . nothing would make me happier . i 'm sorry . carly : if you 're going to defend her , do n't . do n't . jason : could you just stop ? stop , okay ? this is how you act when you 're tired and you 're scared . will you please try to calm down ? carly : i am tired and scared . jason : carly -- carly : and i do n't know how i 'm supposed -- jax : what 's going on ? carly : nothing . jax : what did you say to her ? carly : he did n't say anything , okay ? he 's just trying to calm me down because -- never mind , okay ? the only thing that matters is michael and focusing all of our positive energy to michael so he will come back to us . [ scene_break ] claudia : i get why you have to ask me that , because i grew up in a violent world , in a violent life . and if you crossed somebody in my family , then you were disposed of . i mean , that 's what we grew up with at the breakfast table , like michael . um , i would have wanted to have been michael 's friend . i would have wanted to have given him some guidance and shown him some compassion . what i would not have done is put him in a coma . sonny : of course not . not intentionally . i mean , the one thing we know about that night is the bullet that hit michael was meant for me . the way i see it , there are four people who had reason to want me dead . jerry , because he wanted to run drugs through port charles . i would n't allow it , so his money maker was screwed . ric , because from one second to the next , he does n't know if he loves me or hates me . your father , because he 's my biggest rival . and you , because i threw your brother into a padded cell , beat him senseless , kidnapped him , so it 's justifiable . claudia : look , if i had done that , it would have been justified , and i would n't be afraid to admit it . sonny : oh , yeah , anybody would understand that . claudia : look , when you grow up in my family , you ca n't be afraid of death . if you 're going to walk that very dark line of being willing to take somebody 's life , then you have to be willing to lose your own . sonny : mm - hmm . claudia : so i 'm going to tell you this . i did not do this . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , look , this is officially a no - negativity zone . patrick performed a brilliant surgery . michael needs positive energy . if anyone comes in here saying he 's not going to make it or he 's not going to wake up , tell them to get the hell up and not to come back . jax : i understand what you 're saying about positive reinforcement . it 's a powerful tool , and we should use it . carly : thank you . jax : but do n't forget , you still have a son at home and a baby on the way . you ca n't focus all of your energy on michael . you need a little left for them . jason : i 'm going to try to catch up with monica . [ scene_break ] monica : thank you . jason : i 'm sorry . monica : no . jason : about carly snapping at you . monica : hey , there 's no need to apologize . i know exactly what she 's going through . i did the same thing when you had your accident . i was desperate for a miracle . i had a white - knuckle grip on hope . i prayed to god , i prayed to any entity that i thought was going to listen to me . and you did come back . you were n't the same , but you came back . i 'm just -- i just do n't think it 's going to happen with michael . but that 's my professional opinion . i could definitely be wrong . i mean , patients -- they beat the odds every day . it 's just , if i am right , jason , carly is going to need you . and you 're going to need her . [ scene_break ] claudia : if i were responsible for what happened to michael , i would have had an abortion , no matter what you wanted . i would n't have been able to live with myself carrying your child , knowing what i had done . sonny : i 'm struggling with this , you know ? but , because of -- for the sake of the baby , i choose to believe what you 're telling me is the truth . claudia : thanks . i 'm going to go . sonny : where you going ? claudia : i 'm going to go home for just , you know , a bit . sonny : well , you do n't have to leave . claudia : i have some things that i need to take care of and errands , and this way , you can just focus all of your attention and your energy on michael , okay ? i 'll be back . sonny : all right . claudia : later . sonny : all right . all right . all right , all right . okay , she 's gone . why were you working so hard to get rid of claudia ? [ scene_break ] lucky : the one thing that kills me is luke wants this loser to be his son . he insisted on a dna test . ethan wanted no part of it . i mean , can you imagine that luke actually wanted to be somebody 's father ? elizabeth : wow . this is a lot to process for me . i can only imagine what it must be like for you . lucky : i 'm not jealous , if that 's what you mean . elizabeth : no , more like disillusioned . what were the dna results ? lucky : he did n't bother to tell me . elizabeth : lucky , i 'm so sorry . lucky : i do n't know why i should expect anything from him , because i do n't . i mean , i really do n't . i mean , not for myself . but i honestly believed that he gave my mother the best he had to offer . yeah , i guess not . [ scene_break ] luke : so , i staggered in here because i 'd been shot and i was trapped . i thought my ticket had been punched . ethan : mm - hmm . luke : and then , all of the sudden , shimmering like a mirage in the oasis , there she was , standing right there in that doorway . my english rose . i thought i was hallucinating . ethan : timing is a beautiful thing . luke : mm - hmm . holly 's always had impeccable timing . so , she took me in , she patched me up , she hid me out . took a stroll down memory lane , had a few laughs . and , uh -- well , you get the idea . ethan : wait a minute . this is it . you think this is where i was conceived ? tracy : all right , where is she , you son of a bitch ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it is so unfair that all those years , you and your mom were on the run with your dad , you guys lived in his world , and you played by his rules . and as long as that was the status quo , everything was good with luke . but then you grew up , and you became your own man . you took the reins of your own life , as it should be . he just ca n't handle it . lucky : mr. live and let live . he never really forgave me , i guess . for becoming a cop . now he finally found a way to punish me for it . [ scene_break ] tracy : there is only one reason you would travel halfway around the world to a chinese restaurant , and that 's holly sutton . where is she ? luke : not here . tracy : ha . show your face , you home - wrecker . oh , relax . they 're with me . it certainly took you long enough to get here . what do you think -- whoa ! luke : hey ! easy on the wife . tracy : you 're not supposed to get me , you idiots . the english slut is the one you want . [ scene_break ] jax : you know that i love michael as if he were my own son . carly : i do . jax : i like to think that i 'm being helpful . carly : you are . you 're being helpful . i 'm just starting to feel like now you want me to give up , and i ca n't do that . i ca n't do that . patrick : hi . carly : hi . what 's going on ? patrick : i was hoping we would n't have to have this conversation , but at this point , carly , it would be unethical not to . carly : no . michael needs more time . patrick : the anesthesia wore off hours ago . at this point , there should have been some sign that the connections in michael 's brain were repaired . carly : okay , you said that the surgery went exactly as planned and that you accomplished everything that you wanted to accomplish . are you now saying you changed your mind ? patrick : no . the electrodes were precisely placed . they were firing at the proper times , proper rates , and there was no damage to the surrounding area . carly : great . i do n't want to hear any more . i 'm done . michael will wake up when he 's ready . excuse me . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm all about carly right now , making sure she does n't get upset . and i know claudia upsets her . sonny : absolutely . i understand all that . but the reason i want claudia here is the same reason i 'm so receptive to her . like i said before , i 'm setting her up . [ scene_break ] claudia : do you have a death wish or something ? ric : well , actually , i have a lot to live for now , thanks to you . claudia : ric , come on . give it up , please ? this is sonny 's baby . it 's not yours . ric : ah , you hope so . since you can turn that child that you have inside of you , substitute it for the one that you turned into a piece of furniture , right ? you look tired , claudia . it must be exhausting mustering up all that phony sympathy for michael . claudia : it 's not phony . ric : oh , come on , claudia , this is me you 're talking to . the only person you feel sorry for is you . claudia : well , it does n't really matter what you think , does it ? ric : you know , i 'm getting concerned about you . every time i see you , you 're a little bit more delusional . claudia : what do you think , ric , that i do n't talk to my husband ? we had a very serious conversation wherein he asked me point blank if i had anything to do with michael 's shooting , and i told him i did n't . and you know what ? he believes me . ric : oh , no . see , correction , he wants to believe you . claudia : it does n't matter . same difference , okay ? you know what , even if down deep somewhere , on some primal level , sonny knows what i did , he 'll let it go . because he 'll understand that that 's what he deserves for the life he chose . we 're bonded , ric , by darkness , forever . there 's nothing you can do about it . ric : well , that 's beautiful , and remains to be seen . but while you 're working on your award - winning performance , i 've got a court order for a paternity test . claudia : let me see that . ric : no , i 'll hang on to it . claudia : why are you doing this ? ric : why do you think ? look , my brother may be stupid enough to trust you , though i highly doubt it , but i am not . and i 've had personal experience where dna tests are concerned , and how they can be doctored when left in the hands of a mother . i 'm not having my child stolen . alexis tried that trick with sonny , and you 're not going to do it to me . claudia : so what does this paternity test mean ? you 're forcing me to have an amnio ? ric : no . but the minute that child pops out , he or she is going to be tested . and if you decide to have an amnio during the pregnancy , i need to be informed of the result . claudia : what do you think is going to happen , ric ? i mean , what if you 're right ? what if it is your baby and sonny finds out about that ? you think he 's just going to shift over into the uncle role ? i think it gives him the excuse he 's looking for to kill you . ric : well , i guess i 'm just going to have to take that chance , huh ? but , you know , before i died , i might be compelled to tell my brother all the little things about his wife that he does n't know . for instance , you tried to kill me under his own roof after a little romp in the hay to keep me quiet about what you did to michael , right ? claudia : cards on the table , ric . ric : that was n't nice . claudia : what do you want ? [ scene_break ] jason : so you set claudia up , making her think that you want her here for what ? sonny : come over here . there 's one inescapable fact here . claudia is pregnant with my baby , okay . i 'm not going to run away from that . i 'm not going to put all the responsibility on her . it 's my sacred duty as a father to bring this kid into the best possible life that he can have , right ? it 's best that i do n't hate the mother . the kid 's going to have enough problems as it is . jason : okay , do you want the truth , or do you need physical evidence ? sonny : i 've got to have proof . that 's why i brought claudia along and kept her here during michael 's surgery . i know that carly does n't want her here at all . but she actually did better than i expected . you and jax , i know want to throw her out of the building , okay ? claudia is a good liar , but if you can see through her , okay , she ca n't hide what she wants . she 's needy , and that need just comes right out of her , okay ? what she wants is to be my partner , my wife , and that 's her achilles heel . that is her weakness , and i played right into it . you 're going to love this one . i looked at her and i said , `` hey , there 's not going to be any retaliation , just tell me point blank -- did you have anything to do with michael 's shooting ? `` and i looked at her in her eyes , and she was , like -- you know , did n't make a move or gestures . jason : she denied it . sonny : of course she denied it . and now she thinks that i believe her . so her guards are down , right ? and i get closer to finding out the proof . [ scene_break ] robin : i ended up taking off to rochester and making up an entirely new identity . woman : i had an affair . i know that postpartum depression is supposed to take away your interest in sex , but i just felt so trapped and inadequate . i just wanted to be with someone who did n't know me at all . second woman : i did n't want to be touched , and i was always so unhappy . and i think it manifested itself in complaining . and my husband at one point said , `` you need to just get over it . `` third woman : i did not understand that there was a problem . i thought everything that i was feeling was real . woman : i wanted to get my daughter to start bonding with me again . i would take a picture from those silly parenting magazines that i hated , i 'd tear it out and i 'd set it in front of me , and i 'd hold my daughter , just trying to mimic the pose . i do n't know any silly nursery rhymes , so i 'd just start kind of making up a story or a song , and just kind of sing to her . second woman : i love my husband . he is a great guy . and i thought , oh , my god , if the one person who i love more than anybody and who loves me does n't understand , then i am alone . and i felt -- i just felt nobody felt like i did , and especially my husband . robin : i 'm lucky that i love my husband , that i 'm still very much in love with him . [ scene_break ] patrick : listen , i 'm sorry that i was n't able to help your grandson . monica : you 're just figuring out that you 're not god ? actually , i was a lot older than you when it occurred to me that no matter how smart i thought i was , or how good a surgeon i thought i was , i was going to come up short . patrick : usually , i have handle on these kinds of things . it 's just this case for some reason , it just hit me hard . monica : well , you know why ? you 're a father now . you 've got to get used to that . because every kid you see on an operating table or even in a hospital bed is just going to have the face of your daughter . so you 've got to be realistic about that , and know that you 're not going to be able to save everybody . you 're just going to do the best you can . see you . [ scene_break ] lucky : my mother -- she gave up everything she knew to stand by my dad and keep our family together , while he 's off having an affair with holly sutton . elizabeth : now , you do n't really know that . i mean , what if the dna results were negative , and this thing with holly was just a one - night mistake ? we 've all been there , right ? lucky : i am tired of giving my father the benefit of the doubt . so if he thinks that he can run off with his newfound favorite son , he 's got another thing coming . i 'm a cop . i 'm trying to do the right thing , and i 'm upholding this law . so if those two break it , they 're going down just like anybody else .

[ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] she had the means to do it .

[ chuckles ] no , it 's not funny . anna : [ chuckles ] luke : it 's not funny . anna : no , it 's not funny . luke : no .

[ sighs ] epiphany : i have been cutting you slack because i knew that you needed time to deal with robin 's death . but what you 're doing right now is the opposite of dealing . you need to take a long , hard look in the mirror so that you know what your little girl sees when she looks at you . then you need to decide if that 's the person you want to be .

[ scene_break ] alexis : all right . look . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . you do n't know for a fact that you 're responsible for anything . kate : even if it 's the only explanation that makes sense ? alexis : if you were n't aware of what was going on , if you did n't remember committing the act , then it 's all speculation . kate : they found a gun in my office , alexis . sonny swore that it was n't his . alexis : do you know how you got the gun ? kate : no ! i do n't know ! i do n't know what connie does , how she does it . how did she get in bed with johnny ? alexis : that appears to be a straightforward attempt to drive sonny away . to -- to frame him for murder is a little extreme . kate : you never met connie , have you ? alexis : is she capable of getting a black - market gun ? kate : when dr. keenan questioned her under hypnosis , she did n't give him a straight answer . when jason asked me about the gun , i was so afraid of the possibility that the gun was mine , that brought connie out . i think she was doing damage control , getting anyone who asked off the subject of the gun . alexis : it appears there 's only one person who knows for certain if the gun was yours . and maybe we need to speak to her . connie . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : that was an update on dr. keenan 's condition . he needs brain surgery . jason : because of what kate did ? elizabeth : i know she 's sick . i know she had no control over what happened . but , god , that attack was so violent . it 's just -- it 's -- it 's unsettling . anna : oh , wow ! hi . hey . look who 's here . how 's my granddaughter ? mwah . luke : wow . he looks more like lucky every time i see him . emma : do you want to color with me ? anna : sure . i 'd love to color . that would be awesome . let 's do some coloring . did you do all these drawings ? emma : yes . epiphany : you got a minute ? elizabeth : yeah . of course .

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

[ scene_break ] jax : i know jerry made you promise not to tell anyone he was here . i need you and morgan to keep that promise . no one can know about jerry 's visit . carly : he 's right . i do n't want you saying anything to anyone -- not even your dad . michael : but did -- did he do something bad ? jax : i 'm not sure . that 's what i 'm trying to find out . until i do , i have to protect him , because that 's what brothers do . michael : right . carly : right . so , why do n't you take your brother upstairs and help him get ready for bed , and jax and i will be up in a minute and tuck you guys in . michael : okay . carly : thanks , michael . jax : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i -- i know that this is n't easy for you . carly : i promised to love and honor you till death do us part , and i 'm not backing out on that . but i am not going to protect the man who kidnapped and terrorized me . i will not do that . jax : there must be some reason why jerry was in that hotel . carly : okay , listen , the brother that you idolized growing up does n't exist anymore . he has a different face , he has a different name . this man does not deserve your loyalty or your compassion , and no matter what you do , you [ missing ] jax : jerry said the exact same thing . [ scene_break ] jerry : do you always choose the most remote locations for a potential collapse ? alexis : do you always sneak up on people when they 're not expecting you ? it 's okay , i do n't need a rescue tonight . honestly , i 'm feeling much better than i have in weeks . jerry : oh , is that so ? alexis : yes , it is . in fact , i thought i 'd just take a nice walk and have a little quiet time in the park . jerry : oh , well , you do n't seem to be enjoying the experience , that 's for sure . alexis : if you really want to know , i schedule 15 minutes a day to cry and feel sorry for myself . i thought maybe i 'd be doing that in private , but obviously i was wrong . jerry : are you going to be all right ? alexis : yes . jerry : `` yes `` what ? are you intentionally vague ? alexis : i barely know you . but if you 'd like me to be specific about all the reasons that i have to cry , i -- i can give that to you . would you like me to start from birth and move forward ? or i can just start from what happened a few weeks ago when my best friend , jax , married a woman who i know is going to break his heart . [ scene_break ] kate : oh , look -- the place is closed . why do n't we take the hint and call this evening over ? [ kate sighs ] sonny : uh -- i 'm not quite ready to give up the flash drive . kate : i have tried really hard to keep this pleasant -- and maybe , in an odd way , you 've enjoyed this brush with the past i never intended to revisit , but there are limits , sonny . sonny : you -- you know , you have perfected this whole ice queen thing , and i 'm sure everybody in the fashion world -- they 're trembling , but it does n't do anything to me . so why do n't you give kate howard a rest and let me catch up with my friend connie ? kate : you just love having leverage over me , do n't you ? sonny : well , you know what ? in my line of work , leverage can mean the difference between life and death . i 'm just trying to jerk you around a little bit . kate : oh , great ! well , now that you 've admitted it , what will it take to make you stop ? sonny : okay , connie falconeri -- she used to work at a bakery . remember harvey 's ? yeah ? kate : oh . sonny : you used to pull cappuccinos ? kate : look , i do n't care about connie falconeri , all right ? she is gone ! sonny : well , you better conjure her up real fast . otherwise , you 're not going to get what you want .

[ lucky and elizabeth chuckle ] lucky : how about you , jake ? you know , what made you come up with the name jacob martin ? elizabeth : well , i always thought that jacob was a strong name , and since this kid has proven to be quite the little fighter , i thought it suited him . and martin was my grandfather , my -- my mom 's dad . lucky : i do n't think i ever remember you mentioning him . elizabeth : no ? lucky : uh - uh . elizabeth : well , my grandpa martin was the one person who made me feel special , so i thought it would be nice to honor him . lucky : well , i ca n't think of a better way . what about you , jake ? [ lucky chuckles ] elizabeth : i think he 's tired , and so am i . lucky : well , how about i take him back to the nursery ? and now that you have a little name now , those other babies wo n't be giving you any more problems , so say goodbye to your mommy . elizabeth : bye , baby , i love you . got him ? lucky : he 's okay .

[ scene_break ] [ music plays ] alan : i think it 's about time you listened to something i had to say . tracy : gloating is so unattractive , and unless you have something new to say , haunt elsewhere . alan : gladly . luke : you know , a little discretion is in order . tracy : what are you doing ? luke : i 'm going to reason with alan . tracy : he 's over there . [ luke groans ] luke : you know , you two are missing the point here . unless he stops rattling chains outside the house , or you learn to ignore it better , somebody 's going to come in here and drag you off to the bin . alan : hmm -- maybe the two of you can share a room . you keep tearing around this town like a lunatic , assaulting scott baldwin , you 're going to be put away faster than my guilt - ridden sister . tracy : alan has a point . luke : i do n't want to know . tracy : of course you do n't , because you do n't want to be realistic about `` anything `` having to do with this farce with laura . you want to go into that courtroom with your guns blazing like you always do , except this time you 're going to destroy the family . luke : you give baldwin too much credit . tracy : you see what i have to -- great -- now he goes . luke : well , good . since elvis has left the building , maybe you can concentrate on me for a couple of seconds . you keep hinting at `` dire consequences `` ? be specific . singer : to escape in my mind taking over tracy : there 's a lot that lulu does n't know about your past with laura -- including the rape . singer : they hold me tracy : that will be the first thing that scott brings up in court . [ scene_break ] kate : you never used to be such a bully . sonny : well , you know , but i -- i pretty much always got what i wanted . kate : hmm -- i never really saw you that way . sonny : no ? how 'd you see me ? kate : hmm . oh , the same as all the other girls at sacred heart -- you were a sexy , irresistible bad boy . but that was all on the surface . i always had the feeling that you were hiding some deep , dark secret . but i do n't know -- maybe that 's what you wanted to project . is that why you never took me home to see your mother ? sonny : i did n't get along with my stepfather . and by the time we started dating , i -- i was n't living at home with mom for nearly a year . kate : well , whatever it was , it must 've been pretty horrific for you to choose a life in organized crime . sonny : you know , if i -- if i were a gangster -- i 'm not admitting to anything -- would it bother you ? kate : uh -- would n't bother kate howard at all . might make the girl who used to be connie falconeri a little sad . [ scene_break ] jerry : you know what ? i suppose it 's normal to be upset when your ex - husband remarries , you know ? alexis : he is n't my most recent ex - husband , and -- and jax has been married and divorced twice . i think carly is his third time . jerry : well , perhaps he likes the idea of being married more than the state itself . alexis : no , you do n't know jax at all . no , he 's the type of guy that -- that would find one special girl and want to grow old with that person , but he 's just made a lot of bad romantic choices and it 's just one of those things . i mean , carly is his -- his worst choice , i might add . jerry : why did he marry her ? alexis : because he 's an optimal cornball , cause he believes that love conquers all , and i should 've done something . i mean , i tried to stop him , but i -- i should never have divorced him . jerry : so why did you ? alexis : well , because we were both in love with other people . it 's a long story . it 's just if i had n't divorced him , then he would n't still be married right now to this viper . i just should 've slept with the man when i had the chance . jerry : wait a minute , you -- you never consummated the marriage ? alexis : no . probably a pretty good reason to be upset , is n't it ? jerry : no , i think it 's because carly has him , and i think that you 're jealous . [ scene_break ] jax : jerry did n't want to have anything to do with me . no explanation , no plea for help . he just wanted me gone . carly : maybe he pushed you away because he did n't want you finding out that he and james craig were the same person . jax : i just ca n't believe robin almost died -- alan did die -- because of jerry . the brother i know would never cause so much suffering -- unless someone or something else was at stake . carly : okay , if all he wanted was the briefcase , why did n't he leave after the vault opened ? jax : i do n't know . carly : he blew up a lobby full of innocent people , including me , and i 'm sorry , jax , but there is nothing you can say that can excuse what he did . jax : so jerry deserves to die ? because if you tell jason or sonny , they will go after him . and what happens then ? what would we have left if your best friend kills my brother -- or my brother kills your best friend ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : elizabeth 's being moved out of the i.c.u . tomorrow morning . jason : thanks for staying on top of this . spinelli : yeah , dude , that -- i mean , that 's what friends are supposed to do , right -- in addition to telling you the truth when you do n't want to hear it . look , i know elizabeth appears to be perfect mommy material , but what she 's doing to you and baby jacob martin is n't right . jason : elizabeth did what she thought was best . she told the truth , and i -- spinelli : she told you only after you saved her from the metro court . it 's not fair . jason : what would be fair ? what would be fair ? not to me or elizabeth , to my child -- what would be fair ? [ scene_break ] tracy : when scott baldwin gets in front of that judge , he 's going to paint you as an angry , violent , out - of - control man . it wo n't be much of a stretch -- you 've been attacking scott baldwin at every turn . he 's going to try to prove that you 're a danger to laura . he 's going to mention the fact that you spirited her away the night rick webber died , and that you brought her back traumatized . he 's going to bring in witnesses and old newspaper articles , and make public the fact that you raped laura when she was a teenager . and this great love that you shared , the one that lulu has been raised to idolize , will appear like a decades - long pattern of abuse . and laura -- the frightened , battered wife too scared to leave . i 'm not saying anything scott is n't going to say , and his delivery is going to be a lot harsher . but you can take it . it does n't matter what he says , you 'll endure , but what about lulu ? how do you think that lulu is going to take knowing that you raped her mother -- in the campus disco ?

[ scene_break ] claudia : we need to strike now against daddy while he 's still vulnerable . johnny : and how does that translate into having morgan kill our father ? claudia : jason morgan wants to do it . all he needs is incentives , and what i 'm thinking is we plant a false money trail that links daddy to devlin . if we could implicate trevor , all the better , and all the more believable to jason . johnny : that 's crazy talk . we need to create distance between us and the michael corinthos situation or else we 'll only attract attention . claudia : yeah , but the risks are worth the reward in this situation if it gets rid of dad . johnny : but getting morgan involved could only blow up in our faces . it 's not smart . claudia : jason is the perfect guy to take care of daddy . he 's fearless . he 's never intimidated , and he goes after his mark until the mark is dead . you 've got to admire that kind of conviction . i mean , come on , john . johnny : okay , but i do n't want to take the risk . if jason digs deeper and finds out that you had something to do with the shooting , you 're done . he 's going to come after you . ian is dead , and as of right now , we are the only two people who know about our connection to michael 's shooting . let 's not push our luck . claudia : right . jerry : good morning . so lovely to see you again , claudia .

[ scene_break ] sonny : please , help carly tonight . give her some peace of mind , some resolution . do n't let what happened to michael ruin her life , because michael 's already paying for my mistakes . carly should n't have to , too . make sure she -- she rests . and protect that baby she 's carrying inside of her .

[ scene_break ] claudia : i was out of line , and i should n't have yelled at you during michael 's surgery . and i should n't have expressed any opinion whatsoever to carly . jason : you want michael to stay in the coma . you think it 's going to buy you some time . claudia : time for what , jason ? i 'm pregnant with sonny 's child , and we 're married . jason : you know sonny would never make you pay as long as you 're pregnant . claudia : i did not shoot michael . jason : and once the baby 's born , you know sonny would never hurt the mother of his child . but the truth is you should n't be pregnant . you should n't even be alive . claudia : well , i 've been hearing that my whole life , since i was a little kid . so if you 're trying to threaten me , you 'll have to do better . jason : how about you hired jerry jacks and devlin to take sonny out ? you never meant to hurt michael , but you 're responsible . you did this , claudia . and baby or no baby , at some point , you are gon na pay . [ scene_break ] olivia : i knew about it , you know ? way back , a long time ago , way before you asked me out when we were just little kids . you know ? everyone was always so worried about you . you were out late at night , all alone . you could n't have been more than nine , ten , what ? sonny : how 'd you find out where i was ? olivia : who do you think ? aunt theresa . sonny : of course . why would n't it be ? olivia : yeah , she was always stopping by the church after work before midnight mass . and she -- she would see you there , a skinny little kid kneeling in front of the altar all by himself . sonny : i liked the church . i mean , i felt safe there . olivia : yeah , it 's probably the only place you did feel safe . i think back -- i just -- everyone knew what was going on in your house . you know , why could n't someone have done something , stepped in , helped you out ? sonny : deke was a cop . what are they going to do ? now you know why it 's so important for me to take care of this kid with -- with claudia . because i know what it 's like for a father to walk away . olivia : i understand that . i do . i get it . it 's what every parent wants , sonny . they want to give their kid the best life that they possibly can . and you know what ? we 'll sacrifice no matter what we got to sacrifice to do that . ever kid deserves a chance . sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : a good life and a family that loves him and takes care of him no matter what . that 's why -- that 's why all those people are praying for that skinny little kid slipping into the church late at night . some of us still are . sonny : it 's too late to pray for me . pray for michael .

[ scene_break ] claudia : obviously you hate me and do n't trust me . but unless you 're willing to take ric lansing at his word , you have no evidence against me . i did n't have anything to do with what happened to michael . jason : you wanted to kill sonny . michael was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . claudia : he was , but not because of me . jason : you had a strong motive . you thought sonny was going to kill your brother . claudia : oh , you 've got it all figured out , do n't you ? jason : yeah , i do . jerry was n't going to dirty his hands from the beginning . that 's why he brought devlin in . and that 's exactly where you lost control of the situation because you did n't think it through . all you were thinking about was revenge . claudia : like you 're thinking right now . jason : everything you 've done since that night has been about you and protecting yourself . that 's why you married sonny . claudia : i married sonny because my father asked me to . jason : you almost got away with it , claudia , if not for jerry jacks . and you know what ? personally , i believe ric about those dvds . claudia : though you 've never seen one ? jason : it does n't matter . you gave yourself away when you had jerry 's car blown up . claudia : i did -- i did not do that ! jason : fredo genovese -- a zacchara lackey who likes to plant bombs . you must have really wanted to shut jerry up before i found him . the problem is you panicked . you did n't think it through again because you did n't give fredo enough time to plan , and he botched the job . and now jerry 's gone again , and so is fredo . but let me tell you , when i find him , he 'll give you up . claudia : well , obviously you have to do what you have to do , jason . but if you care about sonny at all , with everything he 's going through right now , you 'll keep these ridiculous accusations to yourself .
